Taya Renae Kyle, widow of U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, whose story is told in the 2014 Academy Award winning film “American Sniper,” will be the featured speaker at the seventh-annual Wilson Hall Mission Series.

The event will take place on Oct. 26 at 7 p.m. at the school’s Nash Student Center, 520 Wilson Hall Road. The event is free and open to the public, with doors opening at 6 p.m.

Kyle is an author, political commentator, military veteran’s family activist and mother of two chil-

dren. She is the co-author of “American Wife: A Memoir of Love, Service, Faith, and Renewal,” a book about life with her husband.

“Her message of faith, healing and moving forward after her husband’s tragic death will be a powerful one,” said Fred Moulton, Wilson Hall headmaster. “I believe her message will resonate with the KYLE many servicemen and women, veterans and families in our community.”

Chris Kyle is known as the most successful sniper in American military history, with 160 confirmed

kills. He served four tours in the Iraq War and was awarded several commendations for acts of heroism and meritorious service in combat.

Kyle published his bestselling autobiography, “American Sniper,” in 2012, which became a No. 1 New York Times bestselling book. A Hollywood film, with the same name, was released two years later. On Feb. 2, 2013, Kyle and a friend, Chad Littlefield, were murdered by Eddie Ray Routh, a former Marine with PTSD, at a shooting range in Texas.

Taya Kyle founded the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation in honor of her late husband.

The foundation’s goal is to help

Wayne Lowder, a co-owner of Sumter’s Guignard Diner, J. O’Gradys and Palmetto Oyster House, said each restaurant suffered a 100 percent loss of food in coolers and freezers because each was without power for as many as three days.

Given its menu of steaks and seafood and regular Saturday schedule, Palmetto Oyster House suffered the biggest losses.

“The Oyster House lost (business) Saturday, Monday and Tuesday,” Lowder said. “We weren’t able to open until Wednesday due to the power outages. I estimate we lost about $15,000 of food from there.”

J. O’Gradys was closed without power on Saturday, Monday and the first half of Tuesday, according to Lowder.

For Guignard Diner — given that it’s regularly closed on weekends and its power was restored earlier — it only lost business Monday.

Because it only operates on weekdays, Lowder said less food supplies were on hand at the diner when the hurricane came through Sumter on Friday night and Saturday.

He estimates the diner’s food loss was between $3,000 and $3,500.

He also said business has been heavy at the diner since it reopened Tuesday morning with local residents and coastal evacuees who were delayed in returning home.

“We have been wide open all week,” Lowder said Friday morning. “It definitely helps, considering what we lost. The Po’ House also had a good-size crowd when it re-opened Wednesday.”

Like Guignard Diner, Mary Ann’s Deli at 584 Bultman Drive is normally closed on weekends and only lost business on Monday. Manager Donna Mclean said food loss for the deli was about $3,600.

“When we reopened, we were busier than normal

Local governments deliberate funding after natural disaster

BY BRUCE MILLS bruce@theitem.com Generally the conversation occurs each year between the mayor and Sumter City Council members when they are putting together the upcoming budget: What happens when Hurricane Hugo comes again?

Well, Hurricane Matthew wasn’t Hugo, but how do local governments prepare financially for the worst such as Matthew last weekend?

From a prudent management standpoint, having adequate reserves in case of bad times is criti-

cal, according to Sumter City Manager Deron McCormick.

“In the last decade, it’s been a priority for the mayor and council for us to have adequate reserves in place,” McCormick said last week when discussing how natural disasters affect the city budget. “Much like at your home, we run things and try to stay within our means, but at the same time when it’s an emergency, you have to take emergency actions.”

Sumter groups raise $42,000 for March of Dimes

BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com In an average week in South Carolina, 119 babies are born premature, according to statistics from the March of Dimes organization.

A two-mile walk, called March for Babies, was held Saturday at the University of South Carolina Sumter campus to raise money and awareness of the issue. About $42,000 was raised by about 30 local teams through fundraisers before the event, said Ashley Edmunds, senior development manager for March of Dimes.

About 75 people attended Saturday’s event.

Jamie Rogers, of Sumter, went through the experience of having a premature baby.

Her daughter, Mollie Gray Rogers, was born nearly two months early, weighing 5 pounds, 8 ounces and measuring about 19 inches.

She stayed at Palmetto Health Tuomey for about a week before being transferred to Palmetto Health Richland, where she stayed in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Premature babies, or those that are born before 37 weeks, often spend their first few weeks in the neonatal intensive care units, fighting for life, and often have lifelong health and developmen-

Rogers said Mollie, thankfully, did not have any longterm complications as a result of being born early. She had to receive a prescription medication injection, however, for about six months that is used to help prevent a serious lung disease caused by respiratory syncytial virus.

Pocalla Springs Elementary School raised the most amount of money for the organization out of all of the schools in Sumter School District, collecting about $1,800.

Desiré Webb, a secondgrade teacher at the school, led the fundraising efforts.

“After seeing a video of the work that March of Dimes does, I knew that I wanted to help,” Webb said.

Pocalla Springs sold mini posters to raise money and even sold raffle tickets to pie three teachers in the face.

On Saturday, Webb participated in the walk along with second-grade teachers Hasina Thomas and Robin Martin.

Dee Anne Miller, develop-

ment specialist with March of Dimes, said she was happy with the turnout.

“We had a great crowd, and everyone seemed to be really excited about the event,” she said. “The money raised will allow the March of Dimes to continue working to prevent birth defects and infant deaths, to reduce South Carolina’s premature birth rate and to increase access to prenatal care.”

Donations for the organization can be made on the website, www.marchforbabies.org.

Businesses, organizations contribute to hurricane relief efforts FROM STAFF REPORTS Several local businesses and organizations have contributed money to assist people recovering from power outages and property damage because of Hurricane Matthew.

Here is a list of known contributions: South State Bank announced that it has contributed $100,000 to the South State Emergency Relief Fund to assist those affected by Hurricane Matthew.

The South State Emergency Relief Fund is operated by Central Carolina Community Foundation, and 100 percent of all donations will support Hurricane Matthew relief efforts.

Duke Energy has made the following contributions totaling $100,000: • $50,000 to the One SC Fund, which was established by Gov. Nikki Haley

in November 2015 after flooding affected South Carolinians across the state.

The fund is supporting nonprofit organizations providing relief and recovery assistance to those affected by Hurricane Matthew.

• Red Cross South Carolina Region will receive $25,000 to help disaster relief efforts in the Pee Dee region in the northeast area of the state.

• Harvest Hope Food Bank will receive $25,000, which will help increase the number of mobile food pantries available to individuals and families in the Pee Dee region who have been affected by the storm.

The Rite Aid Foundation announced a $125,000 donation to the American Red Cross to help the victims, families and communities across the Southeastern United States that were affected by Hurricane Matthew. The donation will support relief efforts in

North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, where Rite Aid operates more than 500 stores.

The foundation will also donate up to $25,000 of in-kind product to the Harvest Hope Food Bank in South Carolina. The donation will include canned food items, personal hygiene products, infant care products and cleaning supplies.

Palmetto Goodwill is working with local chapters of the American Red Cross to provide help to those affected

by Hurricane Matthew.

Goodwill will be providing vouchers worth $35 that can be used to purchase clothing and shoes. To begin the process to obtain a voucher, call the Red Cross at (800) 768-8048. Vouchers can be redeemed at Palmetto Goodwill retail store locations.

Walmart and the Walmart Foundation have made a commitment to pro-

vide support through cash and product donations of $2 million to organizations helping with relief efforts for those affected by Hurricane Matthew.

As a part of this commitment, the Walmart Foundation is allocating $500,000 specifically toward CARE and Team Rubicon Global for relief efforts in Haiti. In the United States, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation have been working closely with the American Red Cross, Salvation Army, Team Rubicon and Feeding America, coordination efforts are being made with elected officials and governmental entities to meet the needs of those affected.

With widespread wind damage and flooding, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation have coordinated efforts as part of the $2 million donation to send bottles of water, food and sheltering supplies to affected areas.

CSI: Task of identifying shipwreck victims Refugee bodies to be cataloged after tragedy MELILLI, Sicily (AP) — Body No. 421, bagged in midnight blue, is heaved from a refrigerated truck onto a metal stretcher and wheeled into the tent that serves as a morgue. It joins other putrefying corpses that fill the air with a pungent scent that clings to the clothing and hair of the living.

The body is that of a young man, one of hundreds who drowned 77 nautical miles off the coast of Libya in the deadliest known refugee disaster.

Eighteen months later, volunteers are trying to find out who he was.

A volunteer reaches into the body bag and pulls out the dark, slime-covered remains.

Another uses a sharp, blackhandled knife to cut out samples for further study. Others examine the muscles and bone structure, photograph the skull and teeth and take notes on a clipboard.

The team’s leader, University of Milan forensic pathologist Cristina Cattaneo, emerges with a slimy pair of children’s jeans reading “Manchester United.” She hoses them down carefully. The jeans, and the personal effects found in the pockets, are among the most useful of clues.

It is the first time that forensic scientists have tried to build a full accounting of victims in a refugee disaster.

••• It was early evening on April 18, 2015, when the distress call came. A fishing boat packed with hundreds of people was in trouble, the caller said. The Italian Coast Guard radioed a nearby freighter and told it to provide assistance.

When they saw the approaching ship, the frantic refugees' rushed to one side of the deck, causing the boat to list and then capsize. The boat sank to the bottom.

Twenty-eight people made it to safety. Hundreds more were locked below deck.

A year later, the Italian Navy returned to the site and used a complicated pulley system to bring the wreck to the surface.

As the boat emerged from the water, the horror of what had lain below became clear.

“Water started coming out of various openings that the boat had on the side, we also saw

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Forensic pathologist Cristina Cattaneo, center, and her team collect post-mortem data on Oct. 8 from shipwreck victims to obtain information for a future identification at the Nato base in the Sicilian town of Mellili, Italy. Cattaneo, a professor at the University of Milan, is leading a team of forensic pathologists who have volunteered to identify and catalogue roughly 800 refugees who lost their lives in one of the worst tragedies in the Mediterranean migrant crisis. human remains coming out of these openings,” said Rear Adm. Paolo Pezzutti, who was in charge of the operation. “It was a spectral vision we saw coming out of the water.”

Back at port in Sicily, firefighters in protective suits, rubber gloves, goggles and helmets cut into the rusted hull with hatchets and saws.

They found bodies packed in almost unimaginably close quarters. There were five bodies for every square meter.

Two hundred were locked in the engine room alone.

Meticulously, the firefighters filled 458 body bags. Many contained the remains of more than one person.

The team expects to complete the autopsies this month. Cattaneo predicts the volunteers will analyze some 700 bodies, maybe as many as 800 or 900.

So far, all of the victims have been men and boys, mostly between the ages of 12 and 27.

••• When they are finished with their examination, the volunteers zip the bag back up and load body No. 421 into a metal container that will go inside a wooden coffin.

Using a black marker, Cattaneo carefully writes PM3900421 on the container — PM for “post mortem” and 39 for Italy’s telephone country code.

That’s the code that will mark the grave until the body is connected to a name.

European rules require that asylum-seekers register in the first country they enter. Because few of them want to end up in Italy, many leave their IDs back home.

That means Cattaneo’s team must rely on DNA samples from the bones, teeth and the objects found on the bodies.

At Cattaneo’s Labanof laboratory in Milan, plastic baggies and small cardboard boxes containing items found in the refugees’ clothing sit in neat lines along the table. Cattaneo goes over them one by one.

Some contain ID cards that were sewn into clothing. Several bags contain little wooden sticks used for cleaning teeth.

One has a photo of a saint.

Another contains what looks like a small brown candy in a pink wrapper. On closer inspection it’s a spoonful of dirt, bagged by the traveler as a memory of home.

••• The tragedy has done little

to slow the business of trafficking in human lives. Smugglers in Libya continue to reap a fortune by taking refugees’ cash and piling them on top of one another in rickety vessels unfit to cross the Mediterranean.

So far in 2016, more than 316,899 people have reached Europe by sea, according to the International Organization for Migration.

Another 3,611 set out but never made it.

••• In December, the second stage of the process will begin: contacting relatives of those who had IDs on them and searching for others who are looking for missing kin.

That won’t be easy. The dead came from Somalia, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Guinea, Sudan, Senegal, Mali, the Ivory Coast and Bangladesh, among other places. Some of those countries have repressive governments; others have poor populations with little

access to internet or phones.

Cattaneo is working with Italy’s office for Missing Persons, run by High Commissioner Vittorio Piscitelli. The office has built a database of information gained from the autopsies.

When families searching for their loved ones reach out, the information they give will be compared with the data on file.

Gathering that information will be perhaps the biggest challenge. The Red Cross has signed up to help.

“If we don’t have people to show the data to, or any data to compare it with, we risk doing all this work in vain,” Piscitelli said.

Despite the challenges, Cattaneo is determined to carry on. In a plane or train crash involving European and American victims, she notes, forensic experts rush to the scene and identify all the bodies. That isn’t the case in refugee tragedies.

“These bodies become nobody’s business,” Cattaneo said.

“This is the largest mass disaster in Europe after World War II and it is the largest humanitarian crisis in terms of dead, unidentified bodies, but nothing has been happening for these people.”

Body No. 421’s final destination is a cemetery in Catania, on the island of Sicily. In an unkempt field lined with mounds of dirt, small black plaques list the codes associated with the bodies buried below.

Someday, the volunteers hope, the young man’s relatives may be able to put a name to the number and come to find him.

His dream of a new life in Europe was dashed, but at least he would have the chance to go home.

A radiologist compares mammography images in Wichita Falls, Texas, in 2012. A study released Wednesday questions the value of mammograms for breast cancer screening, concluding that a woman is more likely to be diagnosed with a tumor that is not destined to become large and presumably more life-threatening than she is to have earlier detection of one that is.

THE CRITICS

COME SEE OUR NEW BUILDING AT Dr.

Researchers used decades of federal surveys on mammography and cancer registry statistics to track how many cancers were found when small — under 2 centimeters, or about three-fourths of an inch — versus large, when they are presumably more life-threatening.

They estimated death rates according to the size of tumors for two periods — 1975 through 1979, before mammograms were widely used, and a more recent period, 2000 through 2002.

In the earlier period, onethird of cancers found were small. In the later period, twothirds were small. But the change was mostly because screening led to so many more cancers being detected overall, and the vast majority of them were small — 162 more cases per 100,000 women, versus only 30 more cases of large tumors.

Assuming that the true number of cases of cancer in the population was stable, this implies that 132 cases per 100,000 women were overdiagnosed.

“The magnitude of the imbalance indicates that women were considerably more likely to have tumors that were overdiagnosed than to have earlier detection of a tumor that was destined to become large,” the authors write.

Next, they estimated how much of the drop in deaths since mammography started was due to early detection versus better ways to treat the disease. They concluded that at least two-thirds of the drop was due to better treatments — a trend other studies also have found.

HOW IT WAS DONE

A new study questions the value of mammograms for breast cancer screening. It concludes that a woman is more likely to be diagnosed with a small tumor that is not destined to grow than she is to have a true problem spotted COMING early.

TUESDAY The work Be sure to could furcheck out our ther shift the special breast balance of cancer whether awareness screening’s section. harms outweigh its benefits.

Screening is only worthwhile if it finds cancers that would kill and if treating them early improves survival versus treating when or if they ever cause symptoms. Treatment has improved so much over the years that detecting cancer early has become less important.

Mammograms do catch some deadly cancers and save lives.

But they also find many early cancers that are not destined to grow or spread and become a health threat. There is no good way to tell which ones will, so many women get treatments they don’t really need. It’s a twin problem: overdiagnosis and overtreatment.

Whether to have a mammogram “is a close call, a value judgment,” said study leader Dr. H. Gilbert Welch of Dartmouth Medical School. “This is a choice and it’s really important that women understand both sides of the story, the benefits and harms.”

Welch has long argued that mammograms are overrated, and the study parallels work he published from the same data sources four years ago. This time, the authors include Dr. Barnett Kramer, a National Cancer Institute screening expert, although the conclusions are not an official position of

mography at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia. Tumors have to be found before they can be treated, and so far mammography is the best way to find ones that can’t be felt, she argues.

A statement from the American College of Radiology and the Society of Breast Imaging says “smaller cancers result in better outcomes for women.”

The study’s assumption that there’s been no change in cancer incidence is not valid — cases have increased, said Dr. Robert Smith, the American Cancer Society’s screening chief.

The other program I was on did not have an educational component so I couldn’t make sense of why I was eating or avoiding certain foods,” Barnes said.

A successful diet program should change the way you look and think about food and assist you in making lifestyle changes. It shouldn’t restrict or eliminate foods.

Many diets can make you feel trapped, perhaps preventing you from attending social events. Food shouldn’t restrict your life; it should be supportive of your life and your goals.

“Learning the principles of nutrition and getting back to the basics of the human body made me realize that I had to eat to see results, especially if I was exercising, but most importantly that consistent nutrition is the key to making changes. It has played a much more important role in my overall improved health than exercise,” Barnes said.

While nutrition and exercise are not an “either/or” choice, starting with one can make adopting new behaviors less overwhelming.

Research is now finding that food choices are more important than exercise for keeping the weight off.

Physical activity should still be included because of the many health benefits, but more emphasis should be put on swapping unhealthy foods for healthy ones.

Barnes said that her blood work has greatly improved, she is 62 pounds lighter and her body fat has dropped 11 percent.

t’s a fact that there’s no lack of fad diets promising quick results. While they may work and help you achieve your goals, they tend to be unhealthy and difficult to maintain. Short-term dietary changes restrict certain foods or food groups, limiting vital nutrient intake.

A few years ago Joanna Barnes decided to join her friends on Missy a diet proCorrigan gram. That lasted for a little more than a year, and whatever weight she lost, she gained back within the year. Regaining lost weight is a typical outcome for many dieters. Old habits are definitely hard to break, and restrictive diets can lead to this unhealthy repetitive cycle of losing and gaining weight.

Diets focus solely on food intake. For those who diet successfully and then return to old habits, a lifestyle change has not been made.

Lifestyle changes incorporate what you eat along with other behaviors that affect weight and health.

“I started out over 200 pounds. While I had the exercising down, it was all about what I was and wasn’t eating. The food was my greatest challenge, so I enrolled in a nutrition-education class, which was really the turning point for me.

Man grabs attention hugging big bears Couple’s nonprofit center houses 11 bears

Jim Kowalczik plays with Jimbo, a 1,500pound Kodiak bear, at the Orphaned Wildlife Center in Otisville, New York.

life biologist with New York's Department of Environmental Conservation. Plus, there are inherent dangers of rolling around with an animal that's three-quarters of a ton.

"I don't think people get a lot of good information or education from that kind of behavior," Merchant says.

"They'd be better off watching a naturalist show off

lows them to take donations.

It's still just them, plus director Kerry Clair, who handles administrative duties.

The videos help with exposure. But experts are pretty clear: Do not get up close with bears, like Kowalczik does.

Even with captive bears, there's a chance their instincts will take over, says Matt Merchant, senior wild-

bears in the wild, or just going out and hiking around and seeing them on their own."

Sitting on the ground next to Jimbo, Kowalczik shrugs at the thought of personal danger from his bear buddies.

"They're content; they're happy. If they weren't," Kowalczik pauses as Jimbo licks him, "you would know it."

his children, he says, and they have never injured him.

"There's no false pretenses like there are with people and stuff," Kowalczik says. "What you see is what you get."

The couple has been rehabilitating squirrels, ducks, deer, mink and other animals together since the early 1990s.

The main goal is to release animals, but the bears here cannot be released because of injuries or because they are too accustomed to captivity.

Bears are in 57-year-old Susan Kowalczik's bloodline.

Her father, Albert Rix, was a well-known circus veteran from Germany who raised Syrian brown bears. Jim, 60, is a retired corrections officer.

The Kowalcziks funded the venture out of their own pockets until creating the nonprofit last year, which al-

S N’

OTISVILLE, N.Y. — Bear hugs are nothing. Jim Kowalczik hugs bears.

Kowalczik lies on the ground as his 1,500-pound bear buddy, Jimbo, rests a heavy paw on his waist. He feeds Jimbo a marshmallow from his mouth and laughs as a big bear tongue slobbers on his ear.

If that sounds suicidal, consider that Kowalczik and his wife, Susan, have cared for Jimbo for almost 23 years, since the Kodiak bear first came to the couple's upstate New York haven for injured or unwanted animals as a bottle-feeding cub.

"He'll play with you all day if you have the time," Kowalczik says after a recent horseplay session, adding that it's fortunate the bear doesn't throw his weight around casually. "If he lays on you, you've got a problem."

Jimbo is among the 11 bears living at the couple's nonprofit Orphaned Wildlife Center 60 miles northwest of New York City. One of them, a black bear named Frankie, was born in the wild and found his way here in 2012 after being hit by a car. The rest of the bears here were born in captivity, eight of them Syrian brown bears or mixes that came from a breeding program. Jimbo came from a West Coast game farm with an injured leg.

There are plenty of wildlife rehabilitators and other centers that care for bears. But Kowalczik has grabbed attention for his hands-on approach. One Facebook video of him playing with Jimbo has received more than 16 million views. Kowalczik describes it as if it was something as natural as petting your dog. The bears are like

BITE FROM PAGE A1 on Tuesday and Wednesday,” she said. “We had evacuees come in from Florida, Georgia and Charleston. You need that after having to throw out whole cases of food.”

Managers at Sumter Cut Rate and Willie Sue’s said they never lost power but closed Saturday so their employees could handle their own storm-related issues and wouldn’t have to worry about driving to work amid all the storm debris.

Both restaurants had increased business when they reopened.

“Monday was epic busy because everybody in town was without power,” Cut Rate manag-

FUNDING FROM PAGE A1 same standard policy for reserve funding.

With the storm damage from Matthew, both Sumter city and county governments are now facing their third natural disaster since February 2014.

While Matthew isn’t on the scale of the historic flooding from a year ago, both McCormick and Sumter County Administrator Gary Mixon compare this natural disaster to the early 2014 ice storm, especially in terms of the wood debris.

Sumter, Clarendon and Lee counties were not included on Federal Emergency Management Agency’s initial disaster area declaration list for the state on Oct. 10, which included 13 counties. Officials added Marion and Orangeburg counties Saturday to the list of counties. But officials in all three counties think it’s just a matter of time before they’re added because their preliminary damage assessments well surpass FEMA’s required threshold for public assistance.

The state Emergency Management Division said Friday that it expects FEMA to issue its next disaster declaration list of counties “any day now,” when it completes the next phase of damage assessment.

Are counties in the free and

clear as far as financial obligations once they receive a FEMA disaster declaration?

No. Once a county is added to the list, local governments can receive funding reimbursement for 75 percent of the FEMA-approved costs for debris removal and emergency services as long as a 25 percent match is provided. That 25 percent match will likely be provided by the state legislature through special reserve funding it has.

Thankfully, that was the case last year with the floods, according to Mixon and McCormick. But there’s no guarantee the state will match.

“Of course, we will be lobbying for the state again to cover that match,” Mixon said.

When contacted Friday, State Sen. Thomas McElveen, D-Sumter, said he expects the state would approve the 25 percent match and that he would be surprised if the state didn’t match.

Mixon said local governments have to be prepared to fund that 25 percent by their local budget, just in case.

Last week, Mixon was putting estimates together for a budget amendment of roughly $200,000 to present to Sumter County Council, based on preliminary damage assessments conducted by the county.

WIDOW FROM PAGE A1 military families reconnect after deployments and to also address the issues first responders’ families may face, according to the organization’s website, www.chriskylefrogfoundation. org.

“Our vision is to create a country of connected and thriving servicemembers and first responder families,” Kyle said in a news release on the foundation’s website.

An active public speaker, Taya Kyle, is considered a figure for military and first responder families and American women, according to her website, www.tayakyle.com.

THE SUMTER ITEM

er Todd Touchberry said.

For Sumter School District, since all 26 schools that have cafeterias lost power, all food from every freezer and refrigerator had to be disposed of, according to Superintendent Frank Baker.

Fortunately, for the district, schools receive food shipments twice per week and at the time of the outages food stocks were low. The estimated food loss due to the hurricane for the district was $12,099.31, according to district reports.

Also, the financial loss was covered by the district’s U.S. Department of Agriculture grant and food was resupplied at each school on Tuesday. The schools were able to salvage nonperishable food items.

If the state covers the 25 percent match, there are still costs for individual cities and counties for many things that are not covered by FEMA or “FEMA approved.” For example, some elements of overtime labor are not covered, among other items, McCormick said.

After FEMA reimbursement and the state match in 2015 for the flood, Mixon said a little less than $150,000 in recovery had to be covered by county funds.

When a natural disaster such as Matthew occurs, there are various levels of disasterassistance priorities.

According to McCormick, first is public safety and life as well as manning the Sumter County Emergency Operations Center. Law enforcement workers, fire department, EMS and 911, among others, are involved in this.

Next comes the practical element of clearing streets so they are safe for driving.

“We were getting a lot of calls initially from people without power,” McCormick said. “That’s a power company issue, but we said, ‘How can we help the power companies for when they get here?’

So, we were clearing trees off roads not affected by the power lines with firefighters, public works and everyone else. We did this so then the power companies could come in with their trucks to do their work.”

“Ms. Kyle’s speaking engagement in Sumter will be great gift for our entire community,” Moulton said. “This will be a personal, faithbased and patriotic message.”

Moulton said seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Nash Student Center can seat up to 2,000 people.

The Mission Series started seven years ago when a supporting family, which prefers to remain anonymous, wanted to make a donation for influential speakers to visit the school, Moulton said.

A committee selects the speakers and schedules them to come sometimes several years in advance, he said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Fayetteville Christian School students Alexander Nieto and Desmond Jones help clean out Cynthia Quick’s flood damaged home in North Carolina.

Road to recovery will test patience of storm victims TARBORO, N.C. (AP) — Tiajuana Williams lives in a onestory apartment building in Princeville, North Carolina, that was flooded by a river bulging with rainwater from Hurricane Matthew. Before driving out of town in her Honda Civic ahead of the storm, she hurriedly packed a small bag with little more than a change of clothes.

Now, even while seeking aid to replace her belongings and arrange long-term housing, she has more pressing needs: “I ain’t got no clothes. I left my clothes in there!”

If other recent floods in Louisiana and elsewhere are any indication, she could face a long road to recovery. She filled out a FEMA application online and signed paperwork Thursday with an agency representative who met with people in Tarboro, just across the Tar River from Princeville.

But Williams was told that it could take a week or more to get to the next step, which will be a phone call from another representative who will go over her information again. She doesn’t have renter’s insurance and fears her stuff has been ruined. Making matters worse, she hasn’t been able to get to her job as a home health nurse and doesn’t expect a paycheck this week.

“I’ve had a headache for about four days,” the 53-year-old said, taking a drag off a cigarette.

Her stress may not go away anytime soon if other recent flood disasters are a guide. In Louisiana, thousands of displaced families are still waiting for government assistance after the catastrophic deluge there two months ago — from a storm system that didn’t even have a name.

Amanda Burge doesn’t feel any closer to returning to her home in Denham Springs, Louisiana.

She is struggling just to get her family on the waiting list for a government-issued mobile home, which would allow them to live on their property while they repair damage.

Daily phone calls to FEMA haven’t yielded any answers for when — or if — they can get one delivered.

“We feel like we’re not making any progress forward,” said Burge, a married mother of three young sons. “We don’t want money in our pockets. We just want to go home.”

Last month, Congress authorized $500 million in flood recovery grant money for Louisiana and other states. That was before Matthew churned up the East Coast.

FEMA spokesman Rafael Lemaitre said the federal government currently has about $5 billion in a fund for all FEMA-funded disaster relief work.

More than 24,000 survivors in hard-hit North Carolina have applied for federal disaster assistance, and FEMA has approved more than $5.8 million in individual assistance to cover needs including repairs or temporary housing, Lemaitre said Friday. That amount is expected to increase.

In another room, visitors can use a set of touchscreens to read about how Nixon's advisers suggested he handle the crisis in Cambodia, the Yom Kippur War and the military draft. Afterward, they can make their own choices about the best course of action and compare them to the president's.

"The objective is critical thinking," said William Baribault, president of the Richard Nixon Foundation, the private nonprofit focused on preserving Nixon's legacy that raised money for the overhaul. "Exposing people to the decisionmaking process in a presidency, so that more people would understand it and, in fact, more people might aspire."

BY AMY TAXIN The Associated Press YORBA LINDA, Calif. — Gone are the long rows of wood-framed display cases sprinkled with campaign paraphernalia and lengthy narratives about President Richard Nixon.

Instead, the renovated Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum tells the former president's story through larger-than-life photographs, interactive touchscreens and video of Nixon's speeches and his eventual departure from the White House.

The museum reopened Friday following a $15 million makeover aimed at bringing the country's 37th president closer to younger generations less familiar with the Watergate scandal and his groundbreaking trip to China.

"It just wasn't technologically savvy, and we needed to bring it into the 21st century," said Michael Ellzey, the library's director.

The overhaul also brings the 18,000-square-foot museum completely into the fold of the National Archives, which assumed control of the Yorba Linda library in 2007 and inherited exhibits designed by a foundation run by Nixon's supporters that were seen by many as too partisan.

It is one of 13 presidential libraries that were built with private money and turned over to the National Archives to administer. In Nixon's case, forming such a partnership was delayed for years by disputes over the records after his resignation and concerns the California site inaccurate-

Tayron Santos cleans the newly installed wall mural of former President Richard Nixon in the lobby area of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum in Yorba Linda, California. The museum reopened Friday after a $15 million makeover aimed at bringing the country’s 37th president closer to younger generations less familiar with his groundbreaking trip to China or the Watergate scandal. ly portrayed history.

While the section devoted to Watergate was redone in 2011, those focused on the Vietnam War, U.S.-Soviet relations and domestic policy had not been upgraded since 1990.

"The Nixon Library, for many years, wanted to present an image of Nixon that was one produced by his friends," said David Farber, a panelist and University of Kansas history professor. "The new library is much better. They're willing to concede there's a lot of controversies about the Nixon presidency."

The campus includes the

house where Nixon was born and his final resting place.

WATERGATE SCANDAL The new museum isn't shy about Nixon's legacy as the only U.S. president to resign.

A 12-minute film before the exhibits opens with Nixon's 1974 resignation speech after the Watergate scandal, in which he tells Americans, "I have never been a quitter."

He is described as combative and visionary in the film, which details his rise to the presidency.

"You sit down, and you settle

in, and boom — it just hits you with the reality, with the frailties of a man (that) are there right before you," Ellzey said.

"Then it goes on to tell a deeper story."

NIXON'S SHOES Unlike a more traditional gallery, the museum tries to put visitors in Nixon's shoes.

After the film, visitors walk down a hallway covered with ceiling-to-floor colorful photographs of the social turmoil of the 1960s to give a sense of the country Nixon inherited upon his election.

NIXON'S NOTES According to the film, Nixon would take notes nightly on yellow legal pads during his time in the White House.

In the museum, visitors can see computerized images of these pads devoted to topics ranging from relations with the Soviet Union to personal goals to football.

In 1970, he wrote on one of them that he wanted to "make use out of each day."

The notes are presented both in Nixon's scrawling handwriting and computer-generated type, which is easier to read.

The galleries also include conversations from Nixon's era that were recorded via an extensive taping system in the White House.

COMMENTARY

Annual Clemson trip turns ugly as Tigers stumble EDITOR’S NOTE: Like most readers that have become sickened and worn out by the food fight known as the 2016 presidential campaign, I’m putting on hold any commentary today about the worst candidates for president in the history of our republic.

That’s just my humble opinion; take it or leave it.

In its place, I am substituting a column I wrote that appeared in the Sunday, Sept. 27, 1987, edition of The Item. It dealt with a subject near and dear to a lot of our readers: Clemson football. It’s about a Clemson game I attended with a close friend and Clemson alumnus who takes Clemson football very seriously — deadly seriously. How seriously? On another Clemson trip with the same friend along with a couple other of his pals, one of them did not show the proper respect to the Taters in his eyes while we were discussing the game on the return trip, and the friend, who was driving, slammed on the brakes, stopped the car and demanded that the disrespectful passenger vacate the car. He was serious. Calmer friends in the car cooled him down, and we made our way back to Sumter without further incident.

The column appears below, in the hope that the aforementioned friend will take the repeat of this column in the friendly, jovial spirit in which it is offered. The friend will remain nameless; however, I will identify him as a local architect who turns 90 this week.

Happy birthday, Charles.

(Published Sept. 27, 1987 in The Item)

E

very year about this time, a friend of mine invites me to attend a Clemson football game with him at Death Valley.

The friend, who shall remain nameless, is a graduate of Clemson and very proud of the Tigers. For a number of years, he has generously played host to me and two other friends by driving us up to Clemson and furnishing refreshments and tickets to the game, which I greatly appreciate, as do the others who are invited along. It doesn’t matter that the opponent is usually one of the lower echelon teams on Clemson’s schedule, which are ample this year. It’s always fun to go up to Clemson, enjoy the camaraderie and be a part of the sea of orange that Hubert engulfs Death Valley Osteen in the fall.

This year we were to attend the Georgia Tech game, which is now history by the time this column appears.

One of my friend’s guests is a Carolina graduate, who cheerfully suffers through the Clemson hoopla, and there’s plenty this year since the Tigers are anticipating an Orange Bowl bid and a possible national championship. Other than games with North Carolina and South Carolina, Clemson’s schedule, most of which consists of home games with abysmally weak opponents, is a hardcore fan’s delight. The Tigers seem to have an 11-0 record sewed up.

Last year’s season was a mixed bag, one that included two ties. I recall vividly the game I attended with my friend in 1986, when the opponent was Virginia Tech.

Normally, my friend is a pretty average guy: He’s a good husband and father, a grandparent, a community leader and a successful professional man. He is nice to old ladies and animals, attends church regularly and gives generously to various charities.

But when he enters Death Valley, a strange metamorphosis comes over him. Take last year, during the ClemsonVirginia Tech game. That was a game the Tigers should have won, but they didn’t; it was a rare defeat in Death Valley.

During the course of the game, the friend objected strenuously to a call against Clemson by the referee. His

normally gentle and placid features changed — his face turned purple, and his eyes bulged out of their sockets; the veins stood out in his neck, and his body twitched and quivered as though he were afflicted by St. Vitus dance. It was like watching one of those horror movies where the man turns into a werewolf before your very eyes.

He shouted (and this is greatly paraphrased) at the referee: “Sir! I take exception to that call! In fact, I question your honesty, integrity and ancestry! Your refereeing leaves a lot to be desired! I may even be forced to consider bodily harm to your person! I am outraged by such obvious unfairness! I will personally see to it that your conduct is reported to your superiors!” And so on.

Unfortunately, my friend failed to gain the referee’s attention, the decision stood, and Clemson fell to the Gobblers.

As we drove back to Sumter in relative silence from the stunning events at Death Valley, I pondered my friend’s distressing behavior. His mood didn’t improve when he turned on the radio and learned that Carolina was playing an outmanned Western Carolina squad, which they subsequently demolished.

I later contacted a psychiatrist and described my friend’s outburst.

“Don’t worry about him,” he said. “He’s a Clemson fan.

They’re all like that. The Carolina people are the same way, maybe worse — they’ve been losing for so long. The Clemson crowd expects to win and go to bowls every year. A loss is as devastating to them as a win is surprising to a Gamecock fan. All these people are Jekyll-and-Hydes at football games. They’re perfectly normal during the rest of the week. They’ll all go back to work, to their homes and families, and resume their regular routines. Their behavior is simply the price they pay for their devotion.”

I felt better after that explanation. I know now that my friend could not help himself — he was caught up in something bigger than the humdrum of daily life. His blood runs orange, and it boils when the sainted Tigers are victims of outrageous fortune — and bad calls by referees.

As I write this on the eve of the Clemson-Georgia Tech, I do not know what the outcome of the game will be. But I sure hope Clemson wins.

COMMENTARY

Batten down the hatches, it’s almost over

I

received a “Top Secret” letter from the “Crooked Hillary Clinton Foundation” this week explaining how I, as a cardcarrying member of the liberal elite, nasty, lying American press, must do everything in my power to make sure Donald Trump is not elected.

Just kidding, but it wouldn’t have surprised me.

As if Hurricane Matthew hasn’t been stress-inducing enough, consider that in just 22 days “We the People” will go to the polls in the most vitriolic, divisive election we could have ever imagined. If only people had heeded my endorsement of John Kasich back in February: http://bit.

Graham ly/1L1fyy7. Whatever.

Osteen This “race to the bottom” has been a national nightmare, and it’s apparently not going to be over after Election Day because the whole process is a big, corrupt, crooked fix orchestrated by the media, global bankers, the establishment and women who may or may not have been groped or raped by Bill Clinton or Donald Trump.

The mood of the nation is dark, as The Very Crooked And Corrupt Failing Washington Post reports. According to a story in Saturday’s edition, “People are so stressed by this election that the American Psychological Association has coping tips.” I was glad to learn that, so I’m passing some of those tips along to those of you who are reading our very liberal and corrupt community newspaper this fine Sunday morning.

Here they are. You’re welcome.

• If the 24-hour news cycle of claims and counterclaims from the candidates is causing you stress, limit your media consumption.

Read just enough to stay informed. Turn off the news feed or take a digital break. Take some time for yourself, go for a walk, or spend time with friends and family doing

things that you enjoy.

• Avoid getting into discussions about the election if you think they have the potential to escalate to conflict. Be cognizant of the frequency with which you’re discussing the election with friends, family members or coworkers.

• Stress and anxiety about what might happen is not productive. Channel your concerns to make a positive difference on issues you care about. Consider volunteering in your community, advocating for an issue you support or joining a local group. Remember that in addition to the presidential election, there are state and local elections taking place in many parts of the country, providing more opportunities for civic involvement.

• Whatever happens on Nov. 8, life will go on. Our political system and the three branches of government mean that we can expect a significant degree of stability immediately after a major transition of government. Avoid catastrophizing, and maintain a balanced perspective.

• Vote. In a democracy, a citizen’s voice does matter. By voting, you will hopefully feel you are taking a proactive step and participating in what for many has been a stressful election cycle. Find balanced information to learn about all the candidates and issues on your ballot (not just the presidential race), make informed decisions and wear your “I voted” sticker with pride.

••• One final thought: As corrupt as the horrible Clintons are and as repulsive as Donald Trump is, we can take comfort in the words of the late, great reporter Edward R. Murrow, who famously said: “Anyone who isn’t confused really doesn’t understand the situation.”

Stay strong, my fellow Americans, because this too shall pass. Won’t it?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR ‘POLLS’ ARE JUST MORE NEWS PROPAGANDA In approximately 25 days, people will go to the polls.

You have two choices. Clinton or Trump. No offense to the people voting third party, but, come on, I’m being realistic here. One of the two will occupy the White House. And I still stand by my previous prediction: Trump will win by a landslide. Not even close.

These so-called “polls” you see are just propaganda to throw out there, to give people a reason to “not go out

there and vote.” Now I don’t remember if it was CNN or MSNBC, but one of the two admitted that they poll mostly democrats, and even then, their poll indicated it was close, within the margin of error, so it makes me wonder, if mostly democrats are split, then Trump wins by a landslide. So, you loyal Democrats, what do you think of the “mainstream media” and the terrific job they are doing? Not only are they in Hillary’s pocket, they don’t even try to hide it. Now they are even trying

to dig up stuff on Trump from 10-15 years ago. And with less than a month to go. Seems like the democrats are getting desperate now. I wonder why. You may think this election comes down to “the lesser of two evils,” but stop and ask yourself, “are you any better off than you were eight years ago?” I can answer that for you. No, you are not. And if you even think you are, then, well, you are indeed stupid.

Bulldogs topple Chattanooga in key SoCon game

Clemson’s Marcus Edmond (29) and Ryan Carter (31) celebrate Edmonds’ game-ending interception during overtime of Saturday’s 24-17 win over N.C. State in Clemson.

OT thriller

By PETE IACOBELLI AP Sports Writer

CLEMSON — Dabo Swinney rolled forward out of his crouch, exhaled deeply and slapped the ground. The Clemson coach knew how fortunate the third-ranked Tigers were to escape with their latest victory.

“There’s something to be said for finding a way to win,” Swinney said. “And there’s something to be said for knowing how to win.”

A little luck doesn’t hurt either.

The Tigers (7-0, 4-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) needed all of it to squeak past North Carolina State 24-17 in overtime Saturday.

The Wolfpack (4-2, 1-1) were a 33-yard field goal away at the end of regulation from quashing Clemson’s perfect start. Instead, Kyle Bambard pushed the kick right and sent most of the 82,104 at Death Valley into hysterics.

yard TD pass. Marcus Edmond intercepted Wolfpack quarterback Ryan Finley’s deep thrown into the end zone to keep the Tigers undefeated and on track for the league title game and the College Football Playoff.

It wasn’t the prettiest effort for Clemson, which gave up 397 yards and turned it over four times — including Watson’s first-ever pick six — to the Wolfpack. But it made it two straight heart-stopping home games for the Tigers, who trailed 36-28 to Louisville before rallying with two The Associated Press touchdowns in the final eight Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney, center, along with staff mem- minutes to take that showbers celebrate the Tigers’24-17 overtime victory over North Caroli- down victory. na State on Saturday in Clemson.

son and kept its focus in the midst of numerous weather delays. The Lady Barons wound up taking nearly a month to play their final six matches.

“There were a couple matches were I thought we seemed a little rusty,” Williams said. “We had to tweak some things in practices, but we were able to stay fundamentally sound and keep our eyes on what the ultimate prize was.

“That’s really the main thing going forward, to maintain focus in every match, because the second season is a lot more difficult than the first.”

The top six players for Williams have been solid all year. Zan Beasley, Sallie Spencer, Emily Anne Beasley, Lizzy Davis, Shelby Guldan and Carly Allred have been the backbone for the Lady Barons’ success in both singles and doubles. WH has been very strong in doubles this season, something Williams said was a key ingredient missing from teams of years past.

NEW ORLEANS — This is what it has come to for the defending NFC champion Carolina Panthers.

Either they beat the Saints in the Superdome today, or they fall into last place in the NFC South by themselves with 10 games to go.

“You don’t expect to start this NEWTON way,” Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly said. “It’s a situation we are in now and it’s all about how you’re going to respond from it.”

On its face, the matchup of the Saints (1-3) and Panthers (1-4) has the look of a game between two struggling teams who very well might be going nowhere this season.

On the other hand, it could make for a desperate, highstakes affair, given both teams are trying to salvage their season and believe it is still early enough to do so.

“We’re not looking at them as a 1-4 team. We’re looking at them as the returning NFC champions. We know that and just like when I was on a Super Bowl team, the next year, you get the best of every team,” said Saints fullback John Kuhn, who played in the Super Bowl with Green Bay. “This is two really good football teams going at each other.

Throw the records out. Anybody watching this game is not going to be unsatisfied.

CHARLESTON— Dominique Allen hugged teammate Tyler Renew, tears rolling down his cheeks. An assistant coach also wept, and the entire Corps of Cadets was granted an overnight leave.

The No. 9 Citadel Bulldogs had insisted all week ALLEN that Saturday’s matchup with No. 3 Chattanooga — the first clash of Top 10 teams at Johnson Hagood Stadium since 1992 — was just another Southern Conference game.

But when the Bulldogs’ 22-14 victory was complete, setting off a raucous celebration among the 14,590 fans on hand, it was apparent that this one meant just a little more.

“If I had to sum it up in one word, I’d say as-advertised,” Citadel coach Brent Thompson said shortly after his obligatory victory bath. “That was one heck of a football game.”

Rajai Davis reached on a fielder’s choice, stole second and took third when Happ’s pitch bounced in the dirt and rolled a few feet away from catcher Russell Martin. One out later, Lindor lined his single to center for this third RBI in two games, another clutch moment by a 22-year-old with the presence of a 10-year veteran.

Tomlin had the Blue Jays off-balance and guessing with an assortment of breaking pitches — nothing harder than 75 mph — before Toronto finally pushed across its first run of the series to tie it 1-1 in the third.

Darwin Barney, starting at second in place of the injured Devon Travis, singled with one out, moved up on a groundout and scored on Josh Donaldson’s oppositefield double, his sixth of the postseason.

Tomlin walked Encarnacion, and with reliever Jeff Manship up in Cleveland’s bullpen just in case, he struck out Bautista, who remains in a funk.

Santana gave the Indians a 1-0 lead in the second with a lined homer that barely cleared the 19-foot-high wall in left. The switch-hitter, who batted leadoff in Game 1, yanked a 1-1 pitch for his first postseason homer and the first allowed by Happ in five starts.

Edwards feels pressure for 1st win at Kansas

By DAVE SKRETTA The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Carl Edwards generally loves the two races a year at Kansas Speedway.

He was born and raised in Columbia, Missouri, and spent his formative years racing late models across the Midwest. So to this day, Edwards considers the mile-anda-half speedway just down Interstate 70 and on the other side of the state line his home track.

He gets to see family and friends. The crowd adores him. There really are no drawbacks.

Except that he can’t seem to win there. And that presents a problem heading into today’s Sprint Cup race. It’s the second stop in the three-race round of 12 in the championship Chase, and a win would take the stress out of Talladega by assuring him a spot in the next round.

“It’s pretty obvious the pressure is pretty high in general with this format,” said Edwards, who will start third on Sunday . “But there is more pressure coming here. And it’s good pressure.”

In fairness, Edwards actu-

Edwards qualified second in the Chase race a year ago before finishing eighth.

“This place, it’s going to be special when we go to victory lane. It’s going to be really cool,” he said, making clear that it’s a matter of “when” and not “if” he wins a race.

LMA shuts down Pinewood 28-8

By SCOTT RODGERS Special To The Post and Courier SUMMERVILLE — The Pinewood Prep offense never got out of the starting blocks on Friday.

The Panthers (6-2) totaled just 169 yards of offense in a 28-8 loss to Laurence Manning Academy (5-2). Matthew Latham, one of the Lowcountry’s leading rushers, was held to 30 yards on 17 carries. As a BRIGGS team, the Panthers only totaled 48 yards on the ground.

“Offensively, we left the defense on the field too long and they got tired,” Pinewood head coach Michael Wright said. “The defense played absolutely, tremendously well. We made some decisions to go for it; I made some decisions to go for it, and it backfired. Sometimes that happens, I was just hoping that

would change our fate a little bit and maybe get us going.”

The first half showed the makings of a defensive struggle with an 8-0 Swampcat lead. The lone touchdown came on a 31-yard pass from Braydon Osteen to Taylor Lee. Laurence Manning would pull out some trickery with a fake field goal for two points.

Latham got the Panthers on the board in the third quarter with a 16yard score. The Swampcats wouldn’t take long to respond with a 4-yard plunge from Brandon Hutson to make the game 14-6 headed to the fourth.

“First of all, they’ve got a quality football team,” Laurence Manning head coach Robbie Briggs said. “They played with a lot of pride and they play the way the game is supposed to be played they’re very physical. They were 17-3 heading into this week over the last 20 games and we knew going in that they were going to be a tough test.”

The Swampcats had 360 yards of of-

fense, with Lee catching eight balls for 154 yards. In the fourth quarter, Laurence Manning added two touchdowns, one each from Shakeel Robinson and Hutson. Pinewood’s final points came on a safety from a high snap during a punt attempt.

“I have not been disappointed in our kids,” Wright said. “They’ve played hard all season. We do have some injuries we deal with, and we have had some starters out the last few weeks.

That’s never an excuse, but that’s what we’re looking at. We’re not going to hang our heads, we’re going to keep playing.”

Pinewood quarterback Sammy Casey finished the night 16 of 31 for 108 yards.

Wright said there is a chance senior quarterback Jack DiMazio could return next week from a collarbone injury, but “not at full throttle.”

Laurence Manning faces another tough road test next week when it travels to Charleston to face Porter-Gaud.

Citadel

From Page B1

and ran for a career-best 135 yards, Cody Clark kicked two field goals and The Citadel defense choked off a Chattanooga offense that was averaging 42 points per game.

Even the fans, who chanted “C-I-T-A-D-E-L” at the end, deserved a game ball, Bulldogs players said.

“It was all the fans,” said slotback Cam Jackson, who ran for 69 of the Bulldogs’ 342 rushing yards. “What, 14,000 people here, that’s huge. It was awesome to come back to Charleston and get this win.

The crowd kept rocking, the Corps kept rocking and we just fed off their energy.”

With what some Citadel fans are calling the team’s biggest home win since a 20-3 victory over No. 1 Marshall in 1988, the Bulldogs improved to 6-0 overall and 4-0 in the SoCon. The win, The Citadel’s first over a Top 5 team since a 23-21 victory over No. 3 Georgia Southern in 2012, puts the Bulldogs in the driver’s seat for a second straight league title. It also could help secure a home game in the FCS playoffs.

Chattanooga (6-1, 4-1), which shared the SoCon title with The Citadel last year, now will need help to claim a share of a fourth straight championship.

“It was a group effort,” said Mocs coach Russ Huesman, whose team had won 17 of its last 18 SoCon games. “I don’t know as coaches if we put them in the best of situations.

I thought (The Citadel) had a great game plan. You have to give Citadel credit. They played really well today.”

The Bulldogs’ game plan was to make the Mocs one-dimensional on offense, and to keep the ball away from QB Alejandro Bennifield and tailback Derrick Craine.

The Citadel delivered on both counts. Craine, averaging a league-best 113 yards, was held to 35 yards before being knocked out of the game in the third quarter. The Mocs’ 55 rushing yards were their fewest since 2011.

Forced to pass, Bennifield hit 17 of 28 throws for 230 yards and one TD, a 75-yard

“I was very, very proud of our guys.

That was a very good team we beat. But we have plenty more good teams left to play.”

Brent Thompson Citadel head coach bomb to CJ Board.

And on offense, The Citadel held the ball for more than 39 minutes, running 81 plays to 47 for Chattanooga and converting 13 of 20 third downs.

“We kept reminding ourselves to just take first downs, just kind of grind it out,” said Thompson. “I told our defense, the goal was to leave our offense on the field and grind out as many yards and first downs as we can. That’s how we win the game, keep our defense fresh in the fourth quarter.”

The game actually turned late in the third quarter, with The Citadel up by 17-14. After Thompson passed up a 27-yard field goal try on fourth-and-1 at the Mocs’ 10, Allen was stoned for no gain.

But defensive tackle Jon King ran over Bennifield for a 9-yard sack back to the Mocs’ 12. On the next play, Bennfield was flagged for intentional grounding in the end zone, resulting in a Citadel safety and a 19-14 lead as the third quarter ended.

“I thought the defense bailed me out there,” Thompson said.

“Maybe we should have kicked the field goal there, but it worked out because the defense bailed us out.”

The defense came up big again when Bennifield was forced to throw incomplete on fourth-and-7 with 5:18 left. The Bulldogs ran almost five minutes off the clock before Clark’s 32-yard field goal for a 22-14 lead with 24 seconds left.

After a Mocs’ Hail Mary fell incomplete, the joyous Bulldogs rushed the field.

“I was very, very proud of our guys,” Thompson said.

“That was a very good team we beat. But we have plenty more good teams left to play.”

No. 1 Alabama trounces Tennessee in 49-10 rout KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Alabama wouldn’t allow Tennessee to produce another comeback.

Jalen Hurts and Bo Scarbrough each rushed for over 100 yards Saturday and No. 1 Alabama again got points from its defense and special teams in a 49-10 blowout of No. 9 Tennessee.

It was the most lopsided victory by either team in this rivalry since a 51-0 Alabama victory in 1906.

“This is as proud of our team as I’ve been all year long in terms of playing a complete game against a very good team, especially in a tough environment,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said.

Tennessee (5-2, 2-2 SEC) had erased double-digit deficits in five of its first six games — including a 45-38 loss at Texas A&M last week in which it forced overtime after trailing 28-7 — but the Volunteers couldn’t deliver a similar rally this time.

Alabama (7-0, 4-0) instead had college football’s cardiac kids dead and buried by the end of the third quarter. The Crimson Tide capitalized on the injury issues that have decimated Tennessee’s depth chart.

No. 18 Florida 40 Missouri 14 GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Jalen Tabor and Quincy Wilson returned interceptions for touchdowns, helping Florida move into first place in the Southeastern Conference’s Eastern Division.

Henderson, Keane power Coastal past Gardner-Webb BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. — De’Angelo Henderson scored once to extend his NCAA Division I record for touchdowns in consecutive games to 32 and Coastal Carolina got past Gardner-Webb 17-7 on Saturday.

Henderson’s 1-yard TD with 14:37 left in the fourth quarter gave C oasta l C a rol i na (4 -2) a 10-7 lead. After the Chanticleers forced a t hree-a nd-out, Henderson Bruce Mapp’s leaping touchdown grab from Tyler Keane from 11 yards out extended Coastal’s lead with 7:37 left to play.

Keane finished 15 of 18 passing, the third best single-game completion percentage in school history.

Henderson finished with 101 yards on 22 carries.

After a scoreless first quarter, Ryan Granger’s 23-yard field goal gave Coastal Carolina a 3-0 lead. The Chanticleers were driving for another score heading into halftime, but a 51-yard return of a fumble put Gardner-Webb (3-4) on Coastal’s 8-yard line with 11 seconds before the half.

Tyrell Maxwell passed to Adonus Lee for an 8-yard score two plays later the Bulldogs’ lone score of the day.

South Carolina State 14 Howard 9 WASHINGTON — Darius Leonard ran an interception back 64 yards for a score and picked off another in the fourth quarter to secure South Carolina State’s win.

Leonard gave South Carolina State (2-3, 2-0 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) a 7-0 lead with his first interception with 6:19 left in the sec-

ond period. Leonard, who finished with 14 tackles, thwarted Howard with his second interception in the fourth when the Bison had driven to SCSU’s 31 with 9:28 left.

Caleb York hit Mykal Moody on a 5-yard scoring play with 12:41 remaining in the final quarter for the winning touchdown in this defensive struggle.

Dakota Labofsky kicked a 24-yard field goal and Jason Collins hit Kyle Anthony on a 6-yard scoring strike to give Howard a 9-0 lead with 7:28 left in the third.

Anthony Philyaw had 160 yards rushing for Howard (1-6, 1-3).

Furman 52 ETSU 7 JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. — Reese Hannon threw four touchdowns passes and Furman snapped a ninegame losing streak, its longest since 1955. Hannon came in with three straight games of 300 yards passing but left after going 16 of 18 for 267 yards as the Paladins (1-6, 1-3 Southern) were able to grind out 198 yards on the ground after coming in averaging just 88.

Furman rolled to a 28-0 lead, all the scores coming on Hannon touchdown passes, including two to Andrej Suttles of 28 and 56 yards. Hannon’s 16 completions moved him to the top of the school’s career list with 574.

The Paladins scored on their first eight possessions. They had 511 yards total offense while holding the Buccaneers (2-4, 1-4) to 210.

ETSU scored its only touchdown with 1:25 remaining in losing its fourth consecutive game.

Mayfield throws 4 TDs as Sooners top K-State 38-17 NORMAN, Okla. — Baker Mayfield was 25 of 31 for 346 yards and four touchdowns, and Dede Westbrook had nine receptions for 184 yards and three scores in Oklahoma’s 38-17 victory over Kansas State on Saturday.

One week after Mayfield passed for 390 yards and Westbrook had a school-record 232 yards receiving, the duo help Oklahoma (5-2, 3-0 Big 12) won its third straight game after a 1-2 start.

With Samaje Perine sidelined by an undisclosed injury in the first quarter, Joe Mixon stepped up for Oklahoma. He rushed for 88 yards, caught three passes for 34 yards and a touchdown and became the first Sooners running back since 1973 to throw a touchdown pass, a 26-yarder to Westbrook in the second quarter that put the Sooners ahead 21-7.

(10) Nebraska 27 Indiana 22 INDIANAPOLIS — Terrell Newby ran for one score and Tommy Armstrong Jr. hooked up with Stanley Morgan Jr. on a 72-yard touchdown pass with 9:57 left to play, helping No. 10 Nebraska hold off Indiana.

The Cornhuskers (6-0, 3-0 Big Ten) won their seventh straight game overall and fifth in a row in this series, last played in 1978. It’s also the first time since 2001 that Nebraska has won its first six.

But the improving Hoosiers (3-3, 1-2) sure didn’t make it easy as it tried to beat its first top 10 team since 1987.

(20) WEST VIRGINIA 48, TEXAS TECH 17 LUBBOCK, Texas — Skyler Howard ran for two touchdowns and threw for another for West Virginia.

The Mountaineers (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) held Texas Tech (3-3, 1-2) to its lowest offensive output this season, just 379 yards, and harassed quarterback Patrick Mahomes most of the day.

He threw for 305 yards, his second-lowest passing total of the season, and was replaced in the fourth quarter by Nic

Shimonek.

(11) Baylor 49 Kansas 7 WACO, Texas— Seth Russell threw two touchdowns and ran for two more while playing only the first half, Ryan Reid returned the first of his two interceptions for a score and Baylor remained undefeated.

Shock Linwood’s 4-yard score on the first play after a Kansas fumble was his 36th career rushing touchdown and broke a tie with Alfred Anderson for the most in school history. Linwood was already the career rushing leader for the Bears (6-0, 3-0 Big 12). Kansas (1-5, 0-3) had five turnovers that led to 21 points for the Bears.

(21) Utah 19 Oregon State 14 CORVALLIS, Ore. — Joe Williams came out of retirement and ran for a 5-yard firstquarter touchdown and Utah went on to defeat Oregon State in wet and windy conditions.

Williams, who had left the team because of injuries following the second game of the season, finished with 179 yards rushing on 34 carries for the Utes (6-1, 3-1 Pac-12).

Trailing 12-7, Oregon State (2-4, 1-2) got as close as the Utah 9 with 8:25 left in the game, but couldn’t score and Garrett Owens’ 27-yard field goal attempt went wide left.

(24) W.Michigan 41) Akron 0 AKRON, Ohio — Jarvion Franklin rushed for a schoolrecord 281 yards and Zach Terrell threw for two scores and ran for two more as Western Michigan ranked in the Top 25 this week for the first time in school history shut out Akron.

Wide receiver Corey Davis caught two touchdown passes to add to his career school record, finishing with eight catches for 63 yards. The Broncos amassed 585 yards in the victory.

added. “You’ve seen it in years past, especially with this division — anything can happen.

We’ve got a lot of football left in front of us. So do they. It starts this week. We both understand what’s going on.”

And it’s not as if either team has been on the wrong end of many lopsided scores. Both teams have each lost games by three points and one point.

Those games came down to the final possession and a play here or there could have tipped the balance.

The Panthers also played without star quarterback Cam Newton last Monday night against Tampa Bay and only lost on a last-second field goal.

Newton, who had been held out because of a concussion, was cleared to play this week as the Panthers try to keep pace with the ever-prolific offense designed by Saints head coach Sean Payton and executed by QB Drew Brees.

“We know the team we’re playing is a championship-level team that has lost some tough, close games,” Payton

said. “We’re going to have to be at our best.”

Here are some other story lines to watch as the Panthers invade the Superdome:

NEWTON’S NUMBERS

The Associated Press

North Carolina quarterback Mitch Trubisky (10) runs with the football during the Tar Heels’ 20-13 upset of No. 16 Miami on Saturday in Miami Gardens, Fla.

Tar Heels bounce back to upset No. 16 Miami 20-13 MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Mitch Trubisky threw two touchdown passes, Malik Carney forced a turnover with 1:31 left to thwart Miami’s last chance at a rally and North Carolina knocked off the 16th-ranked Hurricanes 20-13 on Saturday in Miami.

Ryan Switzer and Austin Proehl had scoring catches for the Tar Heels (5-2, 3-1).

Bug Howard had 10 catches for 156 yards for North Carolina, which rebounded in a big way from last weekend’s blowout loss against Virginia Tech.

Trubisky completed 33 of 46 passes for 299 yards.

Mark Walton rushed for 82 yards and Joe Yearby ran for 74 more and a touchdown for Miami (4-2, 1-2), which lost its second straight game after last week’s 20-19 loss to Florida State.

(14)Florida State 17 Wake Forest 6 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Travis Rudolph had a career-high 13 receptions for 238 yards as Florida State overcame three turnovers to defeat Wake Forest.

Rudolph’s performance which is the fourth-best receiving game in Florida State history offset an ugly game as both teams combined for seven turnovers.

Deondre Francois accounted for both of FSU’s touchdowns. His 2-yard run on a quarterback keeper with 3:16 remaining in the second quarter gave the Seminoles (5-2, 2-2 ACC) a 10-3 lead. The touchdown was set up after Wake Forest punter Dom Maggio fumbled the snap, which Amir Rasul recovered at the Wake 26.

WHERE’S THE RUSH?

Panthers starting defensive The Saints might be just ends Kony Ealy and Charles what a struggling Newton Johnson have yet to register a needs. Newton, whose quarterback rating of 80.2 ranks 32nd in the league, often has played well against New Orleans, whose defense has been rated among the NFL’s worst in three of the past four seasons and is again ranked 31st so far this season. Newton threw for 331 yards and five touchdowns last season at the Superdome and has 10 touchdowns and one interception in the past three games against New Orleans.

HOPEFUL HISTORY The Saints can look at their own franchise history for examples of why they still might emerge as playoff contenders — if they can win this week.

Under the current NFL playoff system, the Saints have twice made the playoffs after starting a season 1-3 — once in 1990 and once in 2000.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville’s lopsided victories had raised expectations so high for the Cardinals (5-1, 3-1) that a close victory seemed unlikely against an outmatched opponent.

But a second straight defeat looked possible against Duke on Friday night until a late penalty by the Blue Devils allowed quarterback Lamar Jackson to seal a shaky win for the Cardinals.

ATLANTA — Justin Thomas was the difference, running for two touchdowns and passing for another, as Georgia Tech ended a threegame losing streak.

Georgia Tech (4-3) enjoyed a dominant opening quarter and put the game away with two fourth-quarter touchdowns. Dedrick Mills had a 20-yard scoring run, his second of the game, with less than 4 minutes remaining.

LMA has an equally tall task ahead of it. The Lady Cyclones are the top Lower seed in a bracket that also contains Ben Lippen (No. 2) and Orangeburg Prep (No. 3).

The Lady Swampcats went 4-4 during a weather-shortened campaign, but made strides in returning to the playoffs for the first time in a few seasons, head coach Lin Ham said.

Musical revue evokes Harlem Renaissance Theater presents ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’”

BY IVY MOORE ivy@theitem.com

T

he music varies in style, the songs are challenging and span two early 20th-century decades, and many of them are considered classics, but Director Eric Bultman says his cast comprises ex-

tremely talented, enthusiastic and more than able interpreters of the songs in the musical revue “Ain’t Misbehavin.’’’ It opens at 8 p.m.

Thursday at Sumter Little Theatre.

In fact, sometimes the cast makes him cry.

“Musicals make me cry if the singers are good,” Bultman said. “I have so much respect and admiration for singers. It’s such a gift. Whenever I direct a musical, I warn my actors, ‘If you look at me during rehearsal and you see me crying, don’t let it bother you.’ “I’ve been crying a lot during the rehearsals for ‘Ain’t Misbehavin.’”

William Paul Brown is music director and plays one of the male singers, along with Elijah Bradford. Brown said acting, singing and serving as music director has been a challenge, but one he’s really enjoyed. He said that while “Fats is only there in spirit, in theory, I suppose, the (onstage) pianist, James Lies, would represent Waller throughout, but particularly in the finale. The members of his band, Rhythm, are all named in the finale as well. But no one really assumes the persona of Fats or any other actual person, per se. The actors ... represent more types than anything, a snapshot of American, particularly Black

American, culture during the first half of the 20th century.”

The show is set in a club like one Waller might have performed in, Brown said, “and the cast and band present to you snippets of moments and places. The songs evoke so many different environments and emotions: night clubs; posh hotels, house parties, street dancing; heartbreak in solitude, intimacy in crowded rooms. The fourth wall is more transparent in this show than in most, I think. We have more opportunity in this show than most to interact with the audience, which is also very nice.”

The female vocalists are Angela Burkett, Caroline Mack and Cierra Stewart, who like Brown and Bradford, are trained and experienced singers and actors. Their versatility is called upon in the revue that salutes Fats Waller and is named for his signature song.

“There is a wide variety of musical styles: jazz, blues, ragtime and some popular standards,” Bultman said. “I have to admit, I wasn’t familiar with a

Brown also has high praise for the ensemble: “We have some of the finest singers and instrumentalists in town working on this production.” The revue comprises 24 musical numbers, beginning with “’T’aint Nobody’s

Business.” The song written in 1922 was the first Waller ever recorded, Bultman said, and is the earliest in the show.

“It gets a kicking up-tempo here,” he said. “The most recent is Nat King Cole’s ‘That Ain’t Right,’ written in 1943. The songs challenge us. The harmonies are intricate and beautiful.”

Fort Motte history, archaeology topic at Monday meeting FROM STAFF REPORTS Fritz Hamer, curator of history and archivist for the South Carolina Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum, will be the guest speaker at Monday’s meeting of the Sumter Genealogical Society.

He will present a program on the Fort Motte Revolutionary War Battle Site at 7:30 p.m. at Swan Lake Presbyterian Church, 912 Haynsworth St. Hamer’s talk will be based on the current exhibition at the Military Museum titled “... make no Doubt we shall carry this post ...” : The History and Archaeology of Fort Motte. The exhibition was cu-

rated by two archaeologists, Jim Legg and Steve Smith, from the SC Institute of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of South Carolina.

The presentation will examine the “war of posts” carried out by Francis HAMER Marion and Thomas Sumter in the spring and summer of 1781 to rid the backcountry of British outposts that had been built by the Crown in the aftermath of Charleston’s fall in May 1780.

Hamer will also address the archaeology that has been

done on the site over the last decades, using slides to show how the field work was carried out, what it showed about the actual siege and some of the important artifacts that were recovered.

Hamer has previously worked at the University of South Carolina and for the South Carolina State Museum.

He has a bachelor of arts degree in history from Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, and a master of art and doctor of philosophy degrees in southern history from the University of South Carolina.

His research interests range from the American Civil War to the wars of the 20th century

and sports history. Hamer has researched and written exhibitions on the Civil War, World War I and World War II, as well as the Vietnam conflict. A few of his publications range from Charleston Reborn: A Southern City, its Navy Yard and World War II (2005); Forward Together: South Carolinians in the Great War (2007); and Glory on the Gridiron: A History of College Football in South Carolina (2009). He recently co-edited a set of articles from the Proceedings of the SC Historical Association titled “South Carolina in the Civil War and Reconstruction Eras,” published by the University of South Carolina Press.

The Sumter County Genealogical Society meets monthly from September through May. Visitors are welcome and encouraged to attend these meetings. Admission is free to the public, and refreshments are served following the presentations. Interested persons can join the Society at the meetings.

Danielle Morris, a senior at Sumter High School, earned the ACT Work Keys Platinum Level Certification for her scores on the Work Keys assessment. Principal Nicholas Pearson presented her with a South Carolina Department of Education certificate and letter signed by Superintendent of Education Molly Spearman for her accomplishment.

This award is the highest Work Keys certification available and is reserved for students who obtain a Level 6 score in each of the assessment’s three core areas. According to ACT Inc., platinum-certified students are eligible for more than 99 percent of the jobs in the Work Keys Occupational Profile Database.

ALICE DRIVE MIDDLE RECEIVES GRANT Alice Drive Middle School, a nationally certified STEM school, received a $20,000 grant from Google Data Center to create a unique STEM learning experience. The engineering classes at the school will collaborate with various special-needs classes both at their school and at an elementary school in Berkeley County to build a cadre of STEM ambassadors.

Throughout the yearlong program, students from both sites will have the opportunity to work independently and collaboratively in an inquirybased learning environment. The program will include finding creative solutions to authentic and complex problems. The Alice Drive Middle School engineering students will teach the basics of computer science through coding, programming, and math to both groups of students through a blended learning model.

The project, titled Kindling a Love for STEM, is supported by three inter-

action-based pillars including literacy, computer science and community. It will be divided into two phases, beginning as teacher guided, and will transition into a self-directed learning experience to enhance STEM literacy skills.

The grant money will provide a STEM library exchange for participating students, two field trips, an additional 3-D printer, cameras and many materials to build life-sized BB-8 droid robots. A STEM ExpoFest will be held in December and again in April for each school to present its learning.

CHURCH WELCOMES NEW TEACHERS Members of the Plaza Church of Christ welcomed the new Sumter School District teachers to the community by hosting a Saturday luncheon in their honor. In addition to the delicious food, the teachers received school supplies, enjoyed inspirational remarks from the pastor and had an opportunity to network with each other.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WALK RESCHEDULED The Sumter High School International Baccalaureate students have rescheduled the 10th annual Walk Against Domestic Violence event, originally scheduled for Oct. 8, for Saturday, Nov. 12, at 9 a.m., because of Hurricane Matthew. The purpose of the walk is to spread awareness of domestic violence in South Carolina. No pledges or fundraising is required to participate.

According to Ann-Frances Brown, the International Baccalaureate CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) coordinator at Sumter High School, “Our students understand the importance of raising awareness of this issue because there are so many members of our community touched by domestic violence. Students in the IB program are encouraged to think globally but act locally. The program stresses this concept in everything they do.”

The event will begin in the Sumter County Library parking lot at 111 N. Harvin St. The public is encouraged to walk with the students, and all participants are asked to wear purple or white.

In addition to the walk to raise awareness, the students are collecting items for the YWCA domestic violence program. Those who wish to donate may bring their items to the event.

Items needed include cleaning products, toiletries, baby products and art supplies.

Monetary donations will also be accepted for the YWCA of Sumter for the organization’s child development center and other projects. — Mary B. Sheridan

HOMECOMING SCHEDULE

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Photo book conservator Lauren Schott polishes a case containing 17th century editions of plays attributed to William Shakespeare in an exhibit called “Shakespeare Unauthorized” at Boston Public Library in Boston. The public can get a rare glimpse of first and early editions of some of Shakespeare’s most beloved plays in the exhibit, which opened Friday and runs through March 31, 2017.

Public gets rare look at early editions of Shakespeare’s plays

BY PHILIP MARCELO The Associated Press BOSTON — The public is getting a rare peek at first and early editions of some of William Shakespeare's most beloved plays.

The Boston Public Library is commemorating the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death with "Shakespeare Unauthorized," a free exhibition that opened Friday.

The library famously holds a copy of the "First Folio," the earliest published collection of Shakespeare's works.

Early "quartos," or booklets for individual works such as "A Midsummer Night's Dream," ''Hamlet" and "The Merchant of Venice," are also among the highlights of the exhibition.

"These are the books that all modern Shakespeare texts are based on," says Jay Moschella, the library's curator for rare books. "They're extremely valuable, and we're one of the few places that has them. They're one of the great cultural treasures of Boston."

"Shakespeare Unauthorized" features roughly 60 items, a relatively modest selection from the library's sizable holdings of original works by Shakespeare, which are considered among the largest and most comprehensive among public institutions in

the U.S. The last time the library showcased these materials was 100 years ago, on the 300th anniversary of the Bard's death, according to Moschella. Most of the year, they're securely kept and made available to researchers by request.

The library purchased much of its collection of Shakespeare materials — along with thousands of other early works of English literature — for $34,000 from the family of a prominent collector in 1873.

Tucked in the library's grand Beaux Arts building downtown, "Shakespeare Unauthorized" opens with a discussion of "Hamlet" and how early versions of the seminal work differed.

The famous line "To be or not to be, that is the question," for example, is written "To be or not to be, ay, there's the point" in the earliest version.

"It's not only significantly less poetic, but it's also one of the central questions of Shakespearean scholarship," Moschella explains. "Why is that text different, and how does that affect what we're reading?"

Elsewhere, the exhibit delves into the conspiracy theories surrounding the Bard, such as the theory that the true author of his works was the famed English philosopher and scientist Sir Francis Bacon. It also spotlights copies of notorious forgeries

and works that were initially credited to Shakespeare but later dismissed.

The grand finale of the exhibition is the richly made "First Folio," one of about 230 copies still in existence.

The handmade, encyclopedia-sized tome — titled "Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies Published According to the True Originall Copies" — is displayed in a large glass case along with copies of later folios. An interactive screen nearby lets visitors peruse a digital copy of the 900-plus-page book.

Published in 1623, years after Shakespeare's death, the "First Folio" contains 36 of his works, 18 of which had never been printed before, including "Macbeth," ''Julius Caesar" and "The Tempest."

"These are major, important Shakespeare works. Without these, Shakespeare would not be Shakespeare," Moschella says. "And it is a pretty safe bet that most if not all of these plays would have been lost if they had not been memorialized in the 'First Folio.'"

"Shakespeare Unauthorized" runs through March 31, 2017, and is a highlight of the library's celebration of Shakespeare. For more information about the exhibition, which is sponsored by the Boston-based information storage company Iron Mountain, and other events, visit: www.bpl.org/ shakespeare.

U.S., Cuba step up efforts to save Hemingway artifacts BOSTON (AP) — Ernest Hemingway was a pack rat who saved everything. Fortunately for fans of the literary icon, U.S. and Cuban officials and scholars have been working together to preserve artifacts at his former estate in Cuba — items they say will help illuminate his colorful legacy.

At a forum Wednesday at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum in Boston, Hemingway experts from both countries underscored their determination to save the books, letters, fishing rods, mounted animal trophies and more that the acclaimed author left behind in Havana.

The forum included TV host Bob Vila, a son of

Cuban emigrants who's been restoring the Hemingway home known as Finca Vigia, or "Lookout Farm."

Joining Vila were U.S. Rep. Jim McGovern of Massachusetts; Ada Rosa Alfonso, director of Cuba's Museo Hemingway; and Susan Wrynn, former curator of the JFK Library's Ernest Hemingway Collection.

Hemingway threw little away, effectively leaving behind a rich archive that includes his passport and Christmas cards, Wrynn said.

Much of the material has been housed at Finca Vigia, which fell into disrepair over a half-century of Cold War between the U.S. and Cuba.

"We have an enormous

responsibility because we have more than 23,000 pieces," Alfonso said.

The Kennedy library, which opened in 1979, is a repository for the world's largest collection of documents, photographs and personal mementos belonging to the celebrated author of "A Farewell to Arms," ''The Old Man and the Sea," ''For Whom the Bell Tolls" and other classics.

Hemingway and Kennedy never met, but the late president was an admirer.

Kennedy wrote Hemingway for permission to use his oft-quoted phrase "grace under pressure" in the opening to Kennedy's own "Profiles in Courage."

Hemingway died in 1961.

THE SUMTER ITEM

Covert use of speakerphone makes caller want to clam up DEAR ABBY — When I call my brother or sister, I expect my call to be private, just between the two of us. However, halfway through the call, other people in the household join the conversation or I’ll hear Dear Abby pots and pans rattling. I consider this to be very ABIGAIL rude.

VAN BUREN I realize in this era of technology a speakerphone is a convenience, but I feel the caller should be told upfront that he or she is on speakerphone rather than realize during the call that others have been listening. Am I overly sensitive, or do you think the caller should be told they’re on speaker and who will be listening in? Just a little privacy, please?

Kathy in South Carolina DEAR KATHY — You are not overly sensitive. However, because you know your siblings are in the habit of doing this, you should ask at the beginning of the phone call if you are being put on speaker. If the answer is yes, you can then suggest the person call you back when you can talk privately.

DEAR ABBY — I retired two years ago at 71. Prior to retirement, I gave money to family members from every paycheck. I didn’t save a dime.

I am now losing my home and in worse shape than they were when I gave them my money. I learned my lesson too late.

Perhaps my predicament will help others.

Since retirement, I have had two surgeries with minimal help from anyone I helped. Doctor bills are piling up. If I had just saved as much as I gave away, I’d have enough to save my home. Take care of yourself first.

Money matters DEAR MONEY MATTERS — I am sorry your generosity has landed you in so much trouble. I am printing your letter because it proves the truth of the adage “charity begins at home.” Everyone should begin putting aside money toward retirement as soon as they get their first job, and continue for as long as they are working.

Whatever monies are left after paying expenses and saving for retirement are considered discretionary, to be spent as the saver wishes.

DEAR ABBY — My son has an older neighbor who often looks after his daughter, who is 8 months old. This neighbor has no children or grandchildren of her own. She buys my granddaughter clothes, shoes, toys and, most recently, a high chair.

The problem is, she keeps all of these things at her house and doesn’t share these gifts with my son and his wife.

They don’t have a lot of clothes for the baby or a high chair. Do you think this is appropriate, or am I out of line to think it isn’t?

Unsure in Kentucky DEAR UNSURE — If someone buys clothes and shoes for a toddler, common sense dictates they should be kept where the child is dressed in the morning — presumably at home. (A supply of diapers and wipes should be on hand wherever the little one is.) However, because lugging a high chair and toys back and forth could create a problem, I see no reason why they shouldn’t remain at the caregiver’s house.

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.

This plant’s stems can be “posed” in different positions, which they will hold. It flowers in the fall and makes an excellent garden plant.

Mystery plant in mint family attractive to hummingbirds

BY JOHN NELSON Curator, USC Herbarium Be careful: These flowers look as though they might want to take a bite out of your leg if you get too close to the perennial border. All those bright pink jaws, gaping open — or maybe they are more interested in singing than in biting?

Here’s a plant from the mint family, which of course is known as the “Lamiaceae,” its name coming from a particular genus, Lamium, which most people know as a group of weedy species generally called “hen-bit.” The mint family is also known as the “Labiatae,” which is a name from antiquity, and refers to the two lips (one labium, two labia) making up the upper and lower extremities of the corolla of the flower.

You might be interested in knowing that amongst us botanists, the two family names, “Lamiaceae” and “Labiatae” are absolutely interchangeable, and legal, in a botanical sense. Not so with most other plant families, which will have a single name by which each must be referred.

Anyway, the mint family is one of those very well-known groups of species, prized for their flavors and

‘AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’” FROM PAGE C1 Asked to name a favorite of the show’s tunes, Bultman answered, “I like all of them now. A few had to grow on me, but now I can listen to them all day. And I sing them constantly, (but ) not as well as my cast ... . If I could sing like Paul Brown and Elijah Bradford, I would sing all day long.” He mentioned “fun uptempo songs like ‘Lookin’ Good But Feelin’ Bad,’ ‘How

Ya Baby,’ ‘Your Feet’s Too Big’ and ‘The Ladies Who Sing with the Band,” and beautiful, sultry ballads like ‘Squeeze Me,’ ‘I’ve Got a Feeling I’m Falling’ and ‘Mean to Me’ (and) ... songs with amazing syncopation like Fats Waller’s ‘Off-Time’” from 1929.

Brown said audience members unfamiliar with the music will be drawn in by

aromatic fragrances. Actually, some of them are right stinky.

Members of the mint family are usually characterized by square stems that bear opposite leaves, two at a time. It’s a really big family, with hundreds of genera and thousands of species, some of which are garden favorites, and some of which are troublesome weeds. This week’s Mystery Plant can be a little bit of both.

It’s a native American species, naturally occurring from Canada to New Mexico in a variety of habitats. It has become a popular and easy garden plant, too. The stems are smooth and bright green, and the leaves are slender, with prominently jagged margins.

Flowers develop in early autumn, eventually forming a thick spike with flowers aiming out in all directions. The corolla is spectacular, bright pink, and made up of five petals fused together into a tube. The upper lip and the lower lip gape prominently; these are the “jaws” mentioned earlier.

These flowers produce a lot of nectar, and are attractive to bumblebees as well as hummingbirds.

Inside the mature corolla will be four stamens and a long style. As with everything else in the family,

“The inimitable voice of Fats Waller. The freshness of the music in these exquisitely crafted arrangements will definitely capture the attention of the audience. There’s a certain type of joy that comes from listening — and performing — this music. And there’s also terrific emotional range in the music. Some songs are funny, some are downright ridiculous. You’ll feel sorrow, and you’ll feel liberation.”

Bultman agreed and praised

this species produces four little one-seeded nutlets way down in the calyx.

This species is an easy perennial to grow. It likes full sun and plenty of room.

If you have this in your garden, try this: Squat down where the flowers are and gently press one single flower to the right or left. Behold! The flower will remain in that position, where you moved it. Some people say that it means that this plant wants to be obedient. On the other hand, if these plants get really happy in your garden especially with an ample supply of water, they can aggressively spread, becoming a little disobedient. But in my garden, there’s no such thing as too much of it.

the organization of the revue itself.

“It opens with an actual recording of Fats Waller playing ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’’ and then it flows into the live piano with vocals,” he said. “Then you get a few up-tempo numbers followed by a classic like ‘Honeysuckle Rose.’ The music is great, and the voices are awesome. I hope it will be a really fun musical history lesson for anyone who isn’t familiar with the songs. I’ve learned a lot. I think we all

have learned a lot.”

Consultant deciphers new overtime law

BY RICK CARPENTER rick@theitem.com

f you own a small business, what you don't know about human resources may cost

you the business.

HILTON

Paul Hilton, a human resources consultant, warns the U.S. Department of Labor estimates that 70 percent of all employers violate at least one of the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

EMPLOYEES FALL INTO 3 CATEGORIES The FLSA deals with issues from minimum wage to child labor to overtime pay.

And Hilton said a new law that goes into effect Dec. 1 could throw even more employers into that violation category.

The FLSA classifies employees in three categories based on whether they are exempt from overtime pay: hourly non-exempt, salaried non-exempt and salaried exempt. In order to exempt employees from overtime pay, Hilton said they must meet one of three qualifications: • First, the salary-level test currently exempts a salaried employee who makes at least $23,660 a year.

Under the new rules, that salary level increases to $47,476; • Second, a job-duties test exempts an employee who passes a job-duties test that classifies the employee as an executive, administrator, professional, computer expert or outside sales representative; and • Third, the salary-basis test, focus-

es on employees who must be paid a set salary that cannot be reduced because of variations in the quality or quantity of work.

Hilton, who served in human resource management positions for the health care industry before moving to SAFE Federal Credit Union as vice president of human resources for 13 years beginning in 2001, retired in 2014 and started a consulting business called Paul Hilton, Human Resources Consulting LLC. Even though he worked for companies with more than 1,000 employees, he said his company works with small businesses — usually with less than 85 employees — who can't afford or justify a full-time human resources professional.

ADVISING SMALL BUSINESSES His timing couldn't be better because he said confusion about implementing the new policies has many small-business owners scratching their heads.

He's mainly advising small businesses and helping rewrite employee handbooks. Those handbook changes can run the gamut from specifying the 40-hour work week to getting preapproval for working more than 40 hours.

He said some companies had policies that said if people worked overtime and didn't get pre-approval for it, they wouldn't pay them. They need to change that policy, he said.

Hilton said if you have employees making less than the $47,476 threshold, in most instances, they will have to move to hourly wages and the business must pay overtime for more than 40 hours in a week.

He said some salaried employees who have been regularly working more than 40 hours will need to work

PAUL HILTON’S TOP 10 REASONS EMPLOYEES FILE LAWSUITS 1. Employees are working “off the clock” without being paid.

2. Employees are working “on the clock” but are not being paid for all of their work time.

3. Workers are wrongly classified as “exempt” from the overtime pay requirements.

4. Employees learn that they cannot “volunteer” their time without pay.

5. Shift differentials and bonuses are not being included in overtime calculations.

6. Employees are not compensated for “training time.”

7. Employees work through lunch without pay.

8. Unlawful use of “comp time.”

9. Employees who work two different jobs within the same organization are not paid overtime for all hours worked after 40.

10. Workers are wrongly classified as “independent contractors”/1099 employees.

Converting salaried employees to hourly can deflate morale, he said.

"Many employees think of it as a demotion because you're moving them from salary to hourly," Hilton said. Hilton coaches employers to present the new structure to employees making less than the threshold in a professional manner that explains the rule changes so that it doesn't offend them.

Hilton said the businesses most affected by the changes are nonprofits and the hospitality industry, including hotel and restaurant managers.

WHY SHOULD YOU WORRY ABOUT THE NEW OVERTIME RULES? Hilton said if the Department of Labor gets a complaint about a business possibly not paying overtime, it not only audits the particular employee's situation, but it also audits the entire company going back at least two years. But if you knowingly violate the law, the department may look back three years. If the department finds your company violated the FLSA, it can require you to repay every employee double the amount of overtime owed to each employee for each year reviewed.

"That could put people out of business in a heartbeat," Hilton said.

"In most cases, it's not that smallbusiness employers are actually trying to break the law," he said. "They just don't know the law."

He said the Department of Labor and the Internal Revenue Service don't care if you don't know the law.

"It's your job to know the law."

Hilton said he hopes to save small businesses by informing them of the law. He has provided seminars through local chambers of commerce and other organizations such as Rotary clubs.

There are currently 22 states including South Carolina that have filed a joint suit in federal court to throw out the new overtime rules.

Hilton said experts he's talked to say they doubt the complaint will overturn the new guidelines.

Are you getting the mortgage loan rate you deserve?

Know the ways to tilt the odds in your favor

BY HAL BUNDRICK NerdWallet Mortgage rates are near all-time lows, and it might be hard to imagine them going even lower. And yet, some loan experts say, many banks aren't giving borrowers the lowest rates they deserve.

It's a matter of how banks price mortgage loans: Loans must be attractive to potential investors who buy loans from the banks. Lenders of course want to make a profit.

They also need to make sure they have enough staff to handle the demand for mortgages.

Most of these factors are out of your control — but there still are ways you can tilt the best-rate odds in your favor.

INVESTORS DRIVE PRICING More than 90 percent of mortgages get sold after they close to investors such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or the Federal Housing Administration. Lenders sell their loans to free up more capital to lend and remove the risk that borrowers may default, so they offer mortgages with rates and terms at which investors will buy them.

"Mortgage rates are not so much dictated by the banks as they are by the investors that purchase these loans," says Anthony Davenport, a former mortgage originator, now a credit management adviser and founder of Regal Financial in New York.

PRICING LOANS NOW FOR RISING RATES LATER The mortgage industry has become so competitive that there's little room, or desire by lenders, to pad interest rates, says Eric Smith, another former mortgage originator and banking executive,

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Mortgage rates are near all-time lows, and some loan experts say that many banks aren’t giving borrowers the lowest rates they deserve.

now a financial literacy coach in Atlanta. The only exception, Smith says, might be for large mortgages that lenders often keep on their books.

Fannie and Freddie don't buy these so-called "jumbo loans," typically $417,000 or over in most areas of the country, so lenders usually hold onto them, as well as the relationship with the affluent clients who take them out.

For those loans, lenders might be "inflating that (mortgage) price a little bit to hedge against when shortterm rates do start to come up," Smith says. That helps protect their profit margin

on low-interest rate loans, Smith says.

Davenport adds that jumbo lenders "are in many cases borrowing money from places like the Federal Reserve at 0.25-0.50 percent and not passing along the savings to customers."

Shmuel Shayowitz, president of Approved Funding in River Edge, New Jersey, says there are two other instances when banks may hedge rates a bit. Sometimes lenders are waiting to be sure that a lower rate will stick and not rebound immediately, he says. That would leave the bank with a rate locked for a customer that's lower than a now-prevailing rate.

Other times it may be an effort to manage mortgage demand in order to clear a backlog of loans without adding manpower to handle additional volume, Shayowitz adds.

TWO WAYS TO GET A RATE BREAK While there is little — make that nothing — you can do about bank profit margins or how Fannie and Freddie shape lender pricing, Davenport says borrowers can make a tactical move or two to ensure they're doing all they can to get the best rate.

First, mortgage rates vary according to a borrower's FICO score. "Someone who

has a 740 score isn't really likely to default any more than someone who has a 760 score, but they're going to pay a higher interest rate," Davenport says.

Knowing where price breaks fall on the FICO score scale can help a borrower earn a significant discount.

For example, if a lender's discount kicks in at a 700 credit score and yours is 680, you might decide to reduce a credit card balance or two enough to bump your score up to the next level.

Secondly, shop around, Smith says. Make sure to ask for a rate based on zero discount points so you can compare pricing properly.

Deer drive brings coyote and Russian boar sighting

T

he streets of the city were deserted and eerily quiet at 5

o’clock on this Saturday morning. There were only a few cars here and there on the roads.

Turning south onto a busier highway, I pointed my truck toward the Lowcountry.

The drive gave me time Dan to let my Geddings mind wander, OUTDOORS and before I knew it, I was turning into the sandy dirt lane that leads to the clubhouse.

The generator was roaring and the lights were on in the big clubhouse when I stepped out of the truck. Camouflageclad figures stood out in the shadows of the clubhouse yard in small groups, laughing and talking.

At a table just inside the

double-front doors sat James Brown, president of the club; A.J. Browder, who was signing in the arriving members; and our oldest member, 93-year-old Marion Ruple.

Other groups of hunters sat around at the tables in the dining area, swapping stories and getting ready for the hunt.

After greeting everyone, I stepped back outside to look at the river. The water level was very low. Maybe this coming storm, Matthew, would get the river back up. I noticed the dawn creeping into the eastern sky. Behind me the generator sputtered and stopped, and everyone filed out of the clubhouse into the yard.

President Brown greeted everyone and went over the rules of the hunt, stressing safety, then Ruple led us in a word of prayer. James Crosby mapped out the hunt, assigning stands and trucks to place the standers. The whole time, truck loads of hounds were baying and barking with anticipation of the hunt to come.

I was assigned to take out a group of standers going to New Road. Ruple drew the

first stand and rode in the front with me. Everyone else piled on the back. Wesley Cline took another group to Cat Head Road. Other standers were placed on the Horseshoe. It was a big drive, covering a lot of ground.

It takes a little time to set up a drive and get everyone in place, so it was good daylight when the hounds were finally released. And, they hit the ground running. Several packs of hounds were pushing deer through the pine thickets out to my front, and another pack was behind me, coming up the branch from Liston Pasture.

Three shots rang out from Dead Cow Road, then three more shots farther down.

More dogs joined the chase, and the big pack turned toward New Road. I watched the road to the left and right with anticipation.

Two shots rang out to my right down New Road, and the hounds stopped when they got there. I hoped that Ruple was the shooter.

The pack behind me turned and went straight away out of hearing, and the remaining pack out front was getting far-

ther away toward the Horseshoe. The sound of a single shot came from that direction.

The woods got quiet for a little while, and I was a little startled to hear two shots nearby on Cat Head Road.

From the direction of the shots, I knew it had to be Wesley. He must have gotten a shot at one sneaking out, as no dogs were running now.

Shortly, the horn blew ending the hunt, and I drove back down the road picking up the standers. The stander nearest to Ruple had shot a nice buck.

I helped him load the buck on the back of my truck. Ruple had seen a big doe but didn’t shoot.

Back at the clubhouse, we found out that another buck and a doe had been taken on the hunt, and yes, Wesley had missed a deer that was sneaking out of the drive. As soon as the deer were cleaned, we headed out on another drive.

I had Jim Hagan in the front with me and a load of standers on the back. We were posting standers along the River Road, and just before I stopped to let Jim out, a huge boar ran across the road in front of my truck. It was no

ordinary feral pig, but a big black wooly Russian boar.

Someone must have released that monster, as they are certainly not native to this part of the world. We were all hopeful that someone would get a shot at that beast during this drive.

Soon, the hounds were released and a big pack came between me and Troy Murphy. A stander on the next road over shot twice, and we learned later that it was a coyote, and he had missed. Jim shot at another coyote but didn’t get him. No one saw the big boar, and my guess is that he swam the river.

After the drive was blown off, we gathered back at the clubhouse for a nice lunch prepared by Tommy Jennings.

Sliced ham, butterbeans and rice, potato salad and a variety of cookies. There was iced tea to drink. We had a little time to rest up after that big meal, and I slunk down in one of the big sofas.

There was another drive that afternoon, and another buck was taken. I drove home that evening tired and happy.

Matthew would hit the Lowcountry a week later.

Nov. 1 deadline for wood duck box applications FROM SCDNR The S.C. Department of Natural Resources, in partnership with the S.C. State Chapter of Ducks Unlimited and S.C. Department of Corrections, will continue the construction and distribution of wood duck boxes this winter.

Applications are available online at http://www.dnr.sc. gov/wildlife/waterfowl/woodduck/application.html and will be accepted until Nov. 1.

About 1,000 boxes will be available for distribution. The South Carolina Chapter of Ducks Unlimited will contribute the cost of predator shield fabrication, and the Wateree Correctional Institute in Kershaw County will assemble the predator shields and construct the boxes. Each unit will consist of a predator shield and assembled box. Applicants will be responsible for providing the hardware and 10-foot, 4-by-4-inch posts necessary for properly mounting the box and predator shield.

The wood duck is the most important waterfowl species in South Carolina and is the only duck whose breeding habitat can be managed effectively throughout all geographic regions of the state.

The project supplements natural production in tree cavities of forested wetlands by providing artificial nesting sites. Fewer natural cavities are available today because of the effects of human activity upon bottomland hardwoods.

Private landowners interested in obtaining wood duck boxes can download an application by visiting the SCDNR website at http://www.dnr.sc. gov/wildlife/waterfowl/woodduck/application.html.

For more information, contact the Statewide Wood Duck Box Project at (843) 844-8957.

Up to five boxes per applicant (or property) will be available for distribution throughout the state. The application deadline is Nov. 1.

The statewide project for construction and distribution of nest box units to requesting landowners began in 1982.

Since 1982, more than 35,000 nest box units have been issued to cooperators across the state.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Seedlings can keep warm and cozy even in cold weather when the bi-fold cover of this coldframe is closed to capture and hold the sun’s warmth.

Do-it-yourself coldframe keeps plants warm

BY LEE REICH The Associated Press In one weekend, you could effectively move your garden — or at least part of it — a few hundred miles south. If you're handy, you could do it in less than a day.

Do this by building a coldframe — a bottomless box with a clear plastic or glass cover.

Heat trapped in a coldframe keeps lettuce, spinach and other hardy salad greens fresh and growing throughout winter. This warmed area can also provide a winter home for rooted cuttings and perennials that are not quite cold hardy. In the coldframe, plants might grow right in the ground or in containers.

Next spring, use the coldframe to start or harden off seedlings or for earlier vegetables or flowers. The sun's warmth, trapped within a coldframe, keeps the box warmer later into fall and in winter, then advances the season there in spring.

BUILD IT Select some sort of clear covering for a coldframe first, because the rest of the structure will be built to accommodate its size. Typical dimensions are some multiple of about 2 by 5 feet.

An old window sash is often available for free, is already mounted in a wooden frame, and is conveniently sized for single or multiple use.

Various kinds of plastic are anoth-

er option. Plastic has the advantage of being less breakable than glass, and it can be cut with standard woodworking tools. Make rectangular frames from 1-by-2 or 2-by-2 wood, glued, braced and screwed at the corners. Either screw the plastic to the frame or create grooves into which the plastic can slide.

Polycarbonate plastic is an especially good choice. It resists degradation in sunlight so is often used for greenhouses and comes in double wall to increase its ability to hold in heat.

To capture the most sunlight and let rainfall run off, the top of the coldframe should slope down from the back to the front. Create this sloping box in two sections, using 1-by-12 or 2-by-12 lumber.

For the lower section, merely join the lumber in a rectangle that corresponds to the dimensions of the cover(s). Rot-resistant lumber lasts longest, but any lumber can be used if you screw a sacrificial 2-inch strip of wood onto all the edges that will make ground contact. Unscrew and replace this strip when it rots away.

For the upper part of the box, cut another 12-inch-wide board the same length as either of the sides. With a straightedge, draw a diagonal line from one corner to another, then cut along this line. For the upper back of the box, cut a board to the same length as the bottom back of the box.

Screw the three pieces together.

Attach the upper part of the box to

the lower part with 2-by-2 lumber, two 22-inch lengths and two 11-inch lengths, screwed into the corners.

These 2-by-2s also strengthen the coldframe.

COVER IT Usually, covers are hinged to the base at the rear, making them easy to prop up to varying degrees, depending on sunlight and temperature.

Another option is to hinge adjacent covers together side by side, and then hinge one of the sides to the edge of the base. This cover opens and closes like a bi-fold door, with its free edge resting on the base to prop it open.

If the area isn't too windy, covers could be free of hinges, merely sliding up and down on the base frame.

USE IT The covering will have to be opened on bright sunny days, sometimes even in winter and surely as the sun grows stronger in spring. One piece of scrap board, cut 12 inches long by 6 inches wide, per covered section makes a convenient prop. Use the flat side — about an inch thick — to crack the one or more covers open for slight venting. Progress to the 6-inch dimension and then the 12-inch one when more venting is needed as spring approaches.

A coldframe adds a useful and interesting dimension to your gardening. Monitor and adjust temperatures, water and fertility closely, and watch how your plants respond.
