Housing market continues to grow

75 cents

Lafayette Drive bridge construction continues

BY JOE KEPLER joe@theitem.com The statewide housing market remains on an encouraging trend, as South Carolina Realtors released its September market numbers Wednesday for the state. The Clarendon, Lee and Sumter tri-county region saw continued, albeit modest, growth from 2013 comparisons. The tri-county region sold 113 residential homes, condos and villas in September 2014, up from 105 in August 2013. That increase of 7.6 percent is on par with the statewide total, which is at 7.3 percent after 398 homes were sold across South Carolina last month. Among all counties that had more than 200 homes sold, the greater Greenville area saw a major boost of 20.7 percent in sales from 2013. Across the 16 regions categorized by the South Carolina Realtors, only Hilton Head saw negative sales when compared to 2013. In the year to date, home sales in the state are up 3.1 percent. The median price of homes sold in the tri-county area took a significant hit in year-to-year comparisons, dropping from $137,000 to $120,000, but the median price is up from August’s number of $116,500. The region is one of six

Work continues on the Lafayette Drive bridge with northbound traffic being detoured to Brooklyn Street and the southbound traffic being directed to Harvin Street for nearly two months now. If reconstruction goes according to schedule, the bridge is set to reopen in November 2015. Other bridges being worked on by the South Carolina Department of Transportation between now and June 2015 include those on Tearcoat Bridge Road, Westbury Mill Road, Dubose Siding Road and Bell Road. Last year in Sumter County, six projects were completed using in-house crews and equipment.

Shaw chaplains serve military, higher power New head chaplain counsels families

Shaw Air Force Base has three chaplains. Besides meeting the spiritual needs of military members through church services, counseling is a major part of their mission.

BY JOE KEPLER joe@theitem.com On the surface, Chaplain David W. Kelley is no different than any other “man of the cloth,” coming to you with a warm smile, a firm handshake and a noticeably calming influence. It is the camouflaged cloth that Kelley wears, though, that tells you something else about the man. Kelley is of a special breed, a military chaplain whose calling by God and country has taken him around the world. Kelley is the new head chaplain of 20th Fighter Wing at Shaw Air Force Base, tasked with helping to meet the spiritual needs of all its airmen and their families. Though he is a commissioned officer who holds the rank of lieutenant colonel, Kelley is

BY RAYTEVIA EVANS ray@theitem.com During a brief ceremony Thursday morning, Morris College recognized and congratulated its students who made the president’s and dean’s lists after last semester. To further encourage the students and Morris College family, Sen. J. Thomas McElveen III, D-Sumter, spoke to students and the rest of the audience made up of faculty and staff, proud parents, friends and community leaders, including Mayor Joe McElveen.

Bert Reeves was shot in the chest with a service revolver belonging to Officer Randall Price in May 2011 along a rural dirt road. Price, who has not been charged in the death, is no longer a police officer. Authorities have said Reeves had objected after Price arrested an employee of his construction business. Reeves’ family sued, and multiple media outlets reported the jury Wednesday awarded $7.5 million actual damages, $60 million punitive damages against the town of Cottageville and $30 million punitive damages against Price. The family had said in the lawsuit that the town should never have hired Price after his troubled employment history in different departments, including being fired. Family attorney Mullins McLeod told the jury that Price shot Reeves because the ex-mayor raised concerns about the officer’s behavior. Reeves wanted Price gone and Price retaliated, McLeod said. “You certainly should be able to complain about a cop without fear of being killed,”

You’re continuing to make your parents proud. You’re making your professors proud. I’m certainly proud of you, and I can’t wait to see what you do in the weeks,

McLeod told the jury. Price’s attorney, Lake Summers, said the ex-Cottageville mayor suffered from bipolar disorder and was enraged when he confronted the officer. Summers said Price fired in self-defense. He would not talk about the jury award. Though Price has not been charged in the death, McLeod said an investigation is ongoing. Investigators said it wasn’t clear how the two ended up on the dirt road near the town’s main thoroughfare where Reeves lived.

Man found guilty in USC professor’s death COLUMBIA — A Richland County jury has found a 40-year-old Columbia man guilty in the stabbing death of a University of South Carolina professor. Circuit Judge J.C. Nicholson Jr. sentenced Hank Hawkes to life in prison without parole Thursday for killing 36-year-old Jennifer Wilson in 2011. Prosecutor Luck Campbell told the jury that Wilson was stabbed 22 times and beaten. Campbell said Hawes stayed in Wilson’s home for hours after her death, planning his defense and a suicide attempt.

Depart to serve.” The senator said he always encourages people to return to their communities and serve and give back. “You will become leaders in our state and our country,” he said. “I beg you, please don’t forget to look around and see how you can give to the world around you. We need more people like you, bright people, to bring in fresh perspective. So never forget the second part of your college’s motto — depart to serve. Be proud of yourselves today.”

Kubala golf tournament enjoys its 19th year BY MATT BRUCE matthew@theitem.com Sumter County law enforcers this weekend held their annual mid-October swing on the greens. Nearly 200 people turned out Monday for the 19th annual Charlie Kubala Memorial Golf Tournament at the Beech Creek Golf Course in Dalzell. Officials said 180 golfers participated in the fundraiser as 45 teams joined in on the two-flight tourney this year. The tournament, which is organized each year by the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office, is dedicated to providing financial assistance for the families of fallen officers from any law enforcement agency in Sumter County. Proceeds from the day at the links go to the Charlie Kubala Memorial Fund, a non profit established in 1996 to help the wife and children of former Sgt. Charlie Kubala. Kubala was a 13-year veteran on patrol when he died in the line of duty in February 1996. The fund was established in

his name just months after his death and was later expanded to assist all children and future children of officers killed on duty. Sheriff’s officials said the fund is specifically designed to help pay for college expenses for the children of fallen officers. The tournament has turned into one of the state’s biggest golf contests during the course of its 19 years. Organizers had not yet determined how much money was raised during this year’s festivities. Each four-person team paid $200 to participate. The Kubala Memorial Fund took in more than $14,000 in revenue during 2013, according to South Carolina Secretary of State records. “We’re pleased every year,” Maj. Allen Dailey said. “Anytime the community comes out and supports a cause like this, we’re very overwhelmed and thankful that people in our community who play golf would like to donate to it. And all of our vendors that donate items to it also. We’re just very pleased at whoever helps to support this endeavor.”

Flippin’ Egg is open and ‘serving great food, fast’ BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com That Flippin’ Egg cracked open its doors Tuesday at 1105 Broad St., and if a nearly full house at 3 p.m. Wednesday is any indication, business is sizzling. “We have been slammed,” said Chief Operating Officer Tyler Brown. “We have been busy all day.” He said everything went smoothly during the opening. “We have been very surprised by the customers and the staff,” he said. Brown said the restaurant specializes in breakfast all day and American cuisine. “Steaks, seafood, pretty much anything you want,” he said. There are several stores across several states, he said. “Flippin’ Egg has been in business about a year,” he said. “It’s still a new concept.” He said meals range in price from $4 to $12.

“We specialize in serving great food, fast,” he said. “We are health conscious about certain products in comparison to what was here. We offer healthier products, fresh products. We try to use quality in the products that we purchase.” Brown said the restaurant, which employs from 25 to 30 people, is the first one in South Carolina. “We are American owned,” he said. “I think that is important. We try to give our customers value.” When asked why the company chose Sumter, he replied “great people.” “Based on the demographics of the city we thought it would be the perfect place,” he added. The company, owned by Robert “Bob” Robertson, has an ambitious expansion plan. “There will be more in South Carolina,” he said. The restaurant will be open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day, Brown said.

Sumter NAACP wins 5 awards BY JADE REYNOLDS jade@theitem.com The Sumter branch of the NAACP recently received five plaques from the 2014 Freedom and Leadership Awards event. “It’s always rewarding because we work hard to do things to assist in the community,” said Ferdinand Burns, president of the local group. “A lot of people don’t know what all we do.” The local one received the L.A. Blackmon Award, which according to conference material, recognizes the NAACP unit in the state that has “conducted the best overall program performance during the preceding year.” The chapter won Modjeska Simkins Advocacy Awards in three categories — Publications, Voter Empowerment and Housing, and Community Development. The publication one was for the chapters newsletter, Burns said, and the voter one was for forums put on by the local group as well as efforts to get people registered to vote. The housing and community development award has to do with the organization’s work in connecting people with the SC HELP program, a federally funded state program that helps responsible homeowners struggling to make mortgage payments because of hardships such as unemployment or medical expenses. “We sent letters to neighborhood associations and committees, churches and community leaders to let them know members were available to help,” Burns said. While most of this assistance involved online access, a few were helped with the paper

Feds: Don’t expect winter to be polar vortex redux BY SETH BORENSTEIN The Associated Press WASHINGTON — If you thought last winter was a horror show, with cold blasts from the polar vortex and a lack of California rain, here’s some good news: No sequel is expected this year, federal forecasters say. Mike Halpert of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday that the upcoming winter looks pretty average in general. He doesn’t expect a lot of extreme conditions like last year’s cold outbreaks when Arctic air dipped south with the polar vortex. “A repeat of last winter is not particularly likely,” said Halpert, acting director of NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland. That doesn’t mean there won’t be cold air and snow, which is normal for much of the country during winter, Halpert said. It just won’t persist as much as it did last year, when extreme weather seemed to be stuck in place, he said. Similarly, the high pressure ridge off the Pacific coast that last year kept rain out of California during its crucial winter rainy season is unlikely to return in force, Halpert said.

NOAA didn’t predict last winter’s extremes in last year’s winter forecast. For December through February, NOAA forecasts warmer-than-normal winter temperatures for most of the West, northern tier and northern New England, with cooler weather in the Southeast and average temperatures elsewhere. The agency predicts wetterthan-normal conditions stretching from Southern California to Florida and up to northern New Hampshire, with dry patches in the Pacific Northwest and Great Lakes. Average precipitation is forecast elsewhere. A long-expected El Nino — a warming of the tropical Pacific that changes weather worldwide — makes last year’s extremes less likely and the wetter, cooler south more likely, Halpert said. Other private weather forecasters are predicting a slightly cooler winter than NOAA. Judah Cohen, director of seasonal forecast at Atmospheric and Environmental Research in Lexington, Massachusetts, has pioneered winter forecasts that link colder Eastern U.S. weather to years when there is more snow on the ground in Siberia in October. It’s still early

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Snow falls as people arrive at the Capitol Building in Washington last winter. Federal forecasters don’t expect this winter to be a chilly sequel to last year’s dreaded polar vortex. and October isn’t finished, but the month has started out unusually snowy in Siberia, which preliminarily points to a cooler winter for east of the Mississippi River, he said. Halpert said Cohen’s method

is intriguing but NOAA needs more years to show that it works as a forecast tool. Ryan Maue of the private WeatherBell Analytics of New York predicts that “a vast majority of the nation will experi-

ence significant periods of below-normal temperatures this winter, with the coldest temperatures (relative to normal) occurring in the Ohio Valley and up through the Eastern Plains.”

FBI director warns against cellphone encryption ERIC TUCKER AND JACK GILLUM The Associated Press WASHINGTON — FBI Director James Comey warned in stark terms Thursday against the push by technology companies to encrypt smartphone data and operating systems, arguing that murder cases could be stalled, suspects could walk free and justice could be thwarted by a locked phone or an encrypted hard drive. Privacy advocates called the concerns exaggerated and little more than recycled arguments the government has raised against en-

cryption since the early 1990s. Likening encrypted data to a safe that cannot be cracked or a closet door that won’t open, Comey said the move by tech companies to protect communications in the name of privacy risks impeding a wide range of criminal investigations. “We have the legal authority to intercept and access communications from information pursuant to court order, but we often lack the technical ability to do so,” Comey said in a Brookings Institution speech. The speech, which echoes concerns he and others in law enforce-

ment have previously made, comes soon after announcements by Apple and Google that their new operating systems will be encrypted, or protected by coding. While the companies’ actions are understandable, he said, “the place they are leading us is one we shouldn’t go to without careful thought and debate.” “Encryption isn’t just a technical feature. It’s a marketing pitch. But it will have very serious consequences for law enforcement and national security agencies at every level,” Comey said. Comey also said the FBI was com-

mitted to a “front-door” approach, including through court orders, to intercepting communications. Privacy advocates have long been concerned that that intercept would create an opening for hackers to exploit. “Whether you call it a ‘front door’ or a ‘back door,’ weakening the security of a system to enable law enforcement access also opens that door to foreign governments and criminals,” said Christopher Soghoian, principal technologist with the ACLU’s Speech, Privacy and Technology Project.

As Ebola toll climbs, U.S. response to disease questioned WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal health officials said Thursday they still don’t know how two Dallas nurses caught Ebola from a patient, as criticism increased from lawmakers who questioned whether the nation is prepared to stop the deadly virus from spreading in the U.S. The revelation that one of the hospital nurses was cleared to fly on a commercial airline the day before she was diagnosed raised new alarms about the American response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. The death toll is expected to climb above 4,500 in Africa, all but a few within Liberia, Sierra Leone and New Guinea, the World Health Organization said. The first nurse stricken in the U.S., Nina Pham, who contracted Ebola after treating a Liberian man in Dallas, was flown to the National Institutes of Health outside Washington on Thursday, while a second nurse has been transferred to a biohazard infectious disease center at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. The two nurses, Pham and Amber Joy Vinson, had been involved in providing care to Thomas Duncan, who died of Ebola last week. In Washington, President

Obama directed his administration to respond in a “much more aggressive way” to the threat and, for the second day in a row, canceled his out-oftown trips to stay in Washington and monitor the Ebola response. In a hearing on Capitol Hill, the chairman of a House committee cited “demonstrated failures” in the government’s response. Rep. Tim Murphy of Pennsylvania said the “trust and credibility of the administration and government are waning as the American public loses confidence each day.” Seated before him were leaders of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the NIH. Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the CDC, testified that despite the latest incidents, “we remain confident that our public health and health care systems can prevent an Ebola outbreak here.” In Europe, Spain’s government is wrestling with similar questions. The condition of a nursing assistant infected with Ebola at a Madrid hospital appeared to be improving, but a person who came in contact with her before she was hospitalized developed a fever and was being tested Thursday. That second person is not a

With hospitals and airports on heightened alert, Frieden said the CDC is receiving hundreds of requests for help in ruling out Ebola in travelers. So far 12 cases merited testing, he said.

Report: Private student loans don’t come with much help WASHINGTON (AP) — Millions of Americans still struggle with high-cost private student loans, with many tumbling into default because the companies servicing the loans aren’t offering reasonable options for improved terms, a new report says. Distressed borrowers are receiving scant information or help when they run into trouble with their private student loans, and affordable repayment options aren’t available, the report released Thursday by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says. The latest annual report on the subject by the agency’s ombudsman for student loans showed regulators making little progress since last year in nudging companies to offer borrowers more reasonable terms. And complaints by borrowers are on the rise. The agency reported it received about 5,300 complaints about private

student loans between Oct. 1, 2013, and Sept. 30, 2014. That’s up 38 percent from about 3,800 complaints the previous year.

EBOLA FROM PAGE A1 in the state.

LONGER-TERM CARE MUSC in Charleston will offer longer-term care for those diagnosed with Ebola. Dr. Danielle Scheurer, the hospital’s chief quality officer, says those treating such patients will be intensive care unit doctors and nurses who volunteer. The hospital said nobody will be required to work with Ebola patients if they don’t want to.

(803) 778-2942 www.loweryair.com

WHERE PEOPLE WOULD BE TREATED “If we have a suspected case, we will make that decision based on where that person is, the capabilities of the hospital and the safety of the public as to whether or not to transport,” Templeton said. She said DHEC has been in contact with all hospitals in the state that have identified areas where patients could be isolated.

WORKING WITH CUSTOMS The state, with the help of the state’s congressional delegation, has been in contact with U.S. Customs to better track state residents or visitors who have been in West Africa. Templeton said when people sign a customs declaration they must put down where they are going. “More information is better as we determine the level of threat to South Carolina,” she said.

INCOMING VESSELS A ship whose last port of call was in West Africa arrived in Charleston over Labor Day, and another is due next week. Templeton said tracking ships is easier than travelers because manifests show where they are from and there is information about the crew. Vessels can’t dock unless they are brought in by a harbor pilot. Templeton said the state is working closely with the Charleston harbor pilots who can also alert officials if there is an illness aboard a vessel.

SCIENCE Call: (803) 774-1201 | E-mail: pressrelease@theitem.com

Our mark on Earth lends new name to current age WASHINGTON (AP) — People are changing Earth so much, warming and polluting it, that many scientists are turning to a new way to describe the time we live in. They’re calling it the Anthropocene — the age of humans. Though most non-experts don’t realize it, science calls the past 12,000 years the Holocene, Greek for “entirely recent.” But the way humans and their industries are altering the planet, especially its climate, has caused an increasing number of scientists to use the word Anthropocene to better describe when and where we are. “We’re changing the Earth. There is no question about that; I’ve seen it from space,” said eight-time spacewalking astronaut John Grunsfeld, now associate administrator for science at NASA. He said that when he looked down from orbit, there was no place he could see on the planet that didn’t have the mark of man. So he uses the term Anthropocene, he said, “because we’re intelligent enough to recognize it.” Grunsfeld was in the audience of a “Living in the Anthropocene” sympo-

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

City lights worldwide are seen in a 2012 photo from NASA. Scientists are calling the current time we live in the Anthropocene, or the age of humans, because people are changing the Earth so much with pollution and warming. sium put on last week by the Smithsonian. Meanwhile, the American Association for the Advancement of Science is displaying an art exhibit, “Fossils of the Anthropocene.” More than 500 scientific studies have been published this year referring to the current time period as the Anthropocene. And today the Anthropocene Working Group ramps up its efforts to change the era’s name with a meeting at a Berlin museum. The movement was jump started and the name coined by Nobel laureate Paul Crutzen in 2000, according to Australian National University scientist Will Steffen.

Geologists often mark new scientific time periods with what they call a golden spike — really more of a bronze disk in the rock layer somewhere that physically points out where one scientific time period ends and another begins, said Harvard University’s Andrew Knoll, who supports the idea because “humans have become a geologic force on the planet. The age we are living now is really distinct.” But instead of a golden spike in rock, “it’s going to be a layer of plastic that covers the planet, if not a layer of (heat-trapping) carbon,” said W. John Kress, acting undersec-

retary of science for the Smithsonian. Kress said the Smithsonian is embracing the term because “for us it kind of combines the scientific and the cultural in one word.” It’s an ugly word, one many people don’t understand, and it’s even hard to pronounce, Kress admitted. That’s why when he opened the Smithsonian’s symposium, he said, “We are living in the Anthropocene,” then quickly added, “the age of humans.” “Never in its 4.6 billion-year-old history has the Earth been so affected by one species as it is being affected now by humans,” Kress said.

Success for 2nd station spacewalk done in 2 weeks BY MARCIA DUNN AP Aerospace Writer CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Spacewalking astronauts replaced a failed electrical unit at the International Space Station on Wednesday, restoring full power to the orbiting lab. The space station had been operating since spring with only seven of its eight solarpower channels. Wednesday’s work by Reid Wiseman and Butch Wilmore — NASA’s second spacewalk in two weeks — brought the energy capability back up to 100 percent. The spacewalkers encoun-

tered balky bolts but still managed to complete the job in the allotted time, with less than two minutes to spare. “Yoo-hoo!” they cheered as NASA declared victory. The voltage regulator shorted out in May but could not be replaced until now because of a yearlong hiatus in nonemergency spacewalks by NASA. The stoppage was caused by spacesuit problems, most notably a flooded helmet that nearly cost an astronaut’s life in 2013. Wiseman took part in the Oct. 7 spacewalk that jumpstarted NASA’s outside maintenance, accompanied by a German. This time, Wiseman

was joined by Wilmore, who made his first spacewalk. To avoid an electrical shock, the two spacewalkers waited until darkness before attempting to remove the old voltage regulator, so there would be no discharge. They

took in the view 260 miles below as they waited for the space station to fly into the night side of Earth. “I see Cairo!” Wiseman said. “Can’t quite make out the pyramids, though.” Sunset came over Kazakh-

stan and China, and Wiseman began to undo the bolt holding down the bad regulator. His pistol grip tool failed to loosen the bolt. “I can feel it binding up,” he said. A ratchet wrench — along with some muscle — did the trick.

CHAPLAINS FROM PAGE A1 of my job, to meet the great airmen who are doing great things for our country,” he said. “It’s amazing to me as I get older how young these airmen look, and the responsibility that they are asked to carry is tremendous. It’s a testament to our country and their sons and daughters and what they can do with million-dollar aircraft. They’re 18 or 19 years old, and they’re making it all happen.” The road to becoming a chaplain is a long one, as years of study and service are required before you can apply to become one. You must have a four-year degree and complete a master of divinity degree to start the process. Many religious organizations that will endorse a potential chaplain also require two years of pastoral experience in a local church or synagogue after attaining the master’s degree. To become a military chaplain, candidates must apply to a particular faith group in a spe-

cific branch of the military — there are no “generic” chaplains. A specific religious group will endorse a candidate for chaplaincy after he meets the specific criteria for the group; then the candidate is filtered through the three branches of military chaplains: Army, Air Force and Navy. The naval chaplains also serve the Marine Corps, Merchant Marines and Coast Guard. Kelley serves as a chaplain in the Southern Baptist Convention denomination, which is the world’s largest Baptist denomination and the largest Protestant group in the country, according to “Yearbook of American and Canadian Churches.” The other two chaplains serving at Shaw are of the Missouri Synod Lutheran and Free Will Baptist faiths. As head chaplain, Kelley oversees all the ministry for the base and supervises the other two chaplains as well as the chaplain’s assistants and civilian volunteers. Chaplain’s assistants are enlisted members who are trained to offer counseling but nothing faith specific. Kelley grew up in Cincinnati

LOCAL

THE SUMTER ITEM

and early on served as a member of the Army, not as a chaplain but as a soldier. In his 11 years of Army service, he spent three years on active duty and eight more in the National Guard. After leaving the Army, he became a pastor and served in that capacity for 10 years. Before coming to Shaw a little more than a month ago, he had served as a chaplain at seven other military bases across the country: Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, Langley Air Force Base in Virginia, MacDill Air Force Base in Florida, Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina, Creech Air Force Base in Nevada, Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama and Fort Jackson in Columbia, where he served as an instructor at The Armed Forces Chaplaincy Center, the main school for training military chaplains. He has also been deployed overseas a number of times, but the mission remained the same no matter where he was. “We avail ourselves to counseling for our airmen and their families,” Kelley said.

Chaplains are held to all the physical standards set for those they serve. When deployed into active areas of conflict, they carry no weapons, relying on only their faith and the protection of the soldiers around them to survive. More than 400 military chaplains have died in active service since the Revolutionary War, according to a story published in the Wall Street Journal, with 182 losing their lives in World War II alone. Along with the three chaplains at Shaw, the base also has a “GS” priest. Short for Government Service, the GS priest is a civilian who is hired by the government to work on the base. Shaw’s priest is no average civilian, though, as Father Peter Sousa has a storied military past of his own. Sousa is a Catholic priest who retired in 2012 after 26 years in the Army chaplain corps. Today he serves as a vicar at St. Jude Catholic Church along with celebrating Mass on the base. He served two years on active duty, working as a hospital chaplain with the 344th Combat Support Hos-

pital at Abu Ghraib Prison and in Camp Bucca in Iraq. Shaw has two chapels on base; Palmetto Chapel serves as the main building while Friendship Chapel is a smaller white chapel that holds smaller services such as weddings. Kelley counts the Catholic community and Protestant communities on the base as “strong” in terms of activity and membership. While he admits that “we have so many diverse airmen coming in we could never have a service for every one of them,” Kelley and his fellow chaplains will refer airmen to church services off base that meet any spiritual need. “The chaplain corps exists to promote the free exercise of religion,” Kelley said. “We either provide directly for them or we provide by connecting them with another establishment that can meet their need.” It’s a case of Kelley and his staff living up to the chaplaincy motto of “perform or provide.” In a global landscape full of strife, Kelley and chaplains all over the country fill a vital role in bolstering the morale of those they serve.

HOUSING FROM PAGE A1 across the state that are in the red comparing September of 2013 to this year, but statewide the median price is up 3.6 percent. The monthly report suggested that “higher prices have motivated more sellers to list.” Sellers may be motivated to move their homes under this market of increased sales and higher median prices, but the continuing drop in average days on the market suggest that the bull market still exists for potential buyers as well. Statewide, the average time a listed house sits for sale dropped from 115 days in September 2013 to 110 this past month, a drop of 4.3 per-

cent. In the greater Sumter region, the drop was even higher, going from 171 to 159 days. The strong growth is likely to continue into the current month, as pending sales, which means houses with accepted offers that are still not sold, are up in all categories. Pending sales are split up by price range, number of bedrooms and type of property (single family or condo). Across the state, September was most successful for the bigger homes in the market, as units that had four bedrooms or more saw a 9.7 percent bump and homes sold for $300,000 or more were up 11.5 percent.

Viewers go on cross-country tour with Foo Fighters BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH Friday nights mean business. With its emphasis on creativity, entrepreneurial energy and hustle, “Shark Tank” (9 p.m., ABC, TV-PG) has become a dependably popular series for ABC. Tonight, a woman thinks she can sink a hole-in-one with her all-female caddy business. Will the Sharks tee off on her start-up, or consider it subpar? My supply of golf analogies is officially exhausted. The new series “Welcome to Fairfax” (10 p.m., Pivot, TV-MA) also focuses on business startups. But don’t go looking for buttoned-down MBA-types. As we’re told repeatedly, the Fairfax area of Los Angeles hosts the “Rodeo Drive of street wear.” Designers of T-shirts and casual wear festooned with hip-hop-, street culture- and skateboard-themed designs have flocked to the neighborhood, cobbling together businesses worth more than $100 million. “Fairfax” follows designers and visionaries as they chase their dreams in a competitive environment where trends begin and the next big thing becomes old hat rather quickly. • Music of a more enduring nature can be found on the eight-part series “Foo Fighters: Sonic Highways” (11 p.m., HBO, TV-MA). Directed by lead singer Dave Grohl, “Highways” follows the band on a cross-country tour, recording songs in a different studio in a different city every week and visiting with musicians and professionals who have contributed to the culture of each locale. The resulting catalog of recordings will culminate in the Foo Fighters’ upcoming album “Sonic Highways.” • For even more vintage sounds there’s the PBS Fall Arts Festival presentation of “The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess” (9 p.m., PBS, TV-PG, check

I have tried telling him how I feel, but I always end up hurting his feelings or he ends up pointing the finger at me. He’s the best person I have ever met, but I’m not deeply in love with him. He doesn’t bring out the best in me and I don’t know what to do. How should I handle this situation without breaking our engagement? Ms. Engaged in Florida DEAR MS.

NOTABLE & QUOTABLE In “Americans are terrified of Ebola. Which could make it harder to stop Ebola,” Paul Waldman writes, “Congratulations, media: Americans are thoroughly freaked out about Ebola.” Read it online at www. washingtonpost.com:

Ebola disease vs. people’s civil liberties

ASHINGTON — Unnervingly, the U.S. public health services remain steps behind the Ebola virus. Contact tracing is what we do, Centers for Disease Control Director Tom Frieden assured the nation. It will stop the epidemic “in its tracks.” And yet nurses Nina Pham and Amber Vinson, who developed Ebola, were not even among the 48 contacts that the CDC was initially following. Nor were any of the doctors and Charles nurses who Krauthammer treated the “index patient,” Thomas Duncan. No one even had a full list of caregivers. The other reassurance was: Not to worry. We know what we’re doing. We have protocols. When, however, we got the first Ebola transmission in the U.S., it was blamed on a “breach in protocol.” Translation: “Don’t blame us. The nurse screwed up.” The nurses’ union was not amused. Frieden had to walk that back the next day, saying he didn’t mean to

COMMENTARY blame anyone. Frieden had said that “the care of Ebola can be done safely, but it is hard to do it safely.” Meaning: In theory, it’s easy; in practice, very dangerous. Unfortunately, that’s not what he said on Day One. In the face of a uniquely dangerous threat, we Americans have trouble recalibrating our traditional (and laudable) devotion to individual rights and civil liberties. That is the fundamental reason we’ve been so slow in getting serious about Ebola. Consider: 1. Privacy. Pham’s identity was initially withheld. In normal circumstances, privacy deserves absolute respect. But these are not normal circumstances. We’re talking about a possible epidemic by an unseen pathogen that kills 70 percent of its victims. Contact tracing is the key to stopping it, we’ve been told. What faster way to alert anyone who might have had contact with Pham than releasing her name? 2. Quarantine. When Duncan was first hospitalized, the CDC said it would locate his contacts and check regularly for symp-

toms. For the secondary and tertiary contacts this made sense. But not for those in the inner “concentric circle.” They had had close contact with Duncan and were living in an apartment requiring massive decontamination. They should have been quarantined immediately. Quarantine is the ultimate violation of civil liberties. But when an epidemic threatens, we do it because we must. 3. Evacuation. Why have we been treating Ebola patients at their local hospital? This is insane. They don’t have the expertise or the training. They will make mistakes — as we’ve now seen repeatedly at Texas Health Presbyterian. Besides, training and equipping every hospital in America to treat this rare disease would be ridiculously expensive and 99 percent wasted. Every Ebola patient should be evacuated to a specialized regional isolation center, such as the ones in Atlanta, Omaha or Bethesda. Not because these facilities possess some unique treatment. There is no treatment. But they know how to prevent contagion. 4. Travel bans. British Airways has already canceled all flights to the affected countries in West

Africa. We haven’t. A couple more cases of imported Ebola, and we will. Why are we waiting? The CDC argues that a travel ban would stop the flow of medical assistance to West Africa. This is silly. Simply make an exception for health care workers. They apply to federal authorities, who charter their flights (or use military aircraft already headed there) and monitor their movements until 21 days after their return home. Done. President Obama, in his messianic period, declared that choosing between security and liberty was a false choice. On the contrary. It is the eternal dilemma of every free society. Politics is the very process of finding some equilibrium between these two competing values. Regarding terrorism, we’ve developed a fairly reasonable balance. But it took time. With Ebola, we don’t have time. Viruses don’t wait. The sooner we reset the balance — the sooner we get serious — the safer we will be.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR HIGH COST COULD COME FROM APPROVING ALCOHOL SALES On Nov. 4, Sumter will vote for or against Sunday alcohol sales. The origin of my disapproval is based on the 4th commandment in the Holy Bible: Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy. I don’t think most of us associate alcohol with holiness. The proponents, as evidenced by their expensive ads in The Sumter Item, cite alcohol as “improving quality of life.” The only ones I know that might improve their quality of life with Sunday alcohol sales are those who sell it and those who defend DUI’s. Wild Wing restaurant has been quoted as saying, “We will come to Sumter only if we can have Sunday alcohol sales.” This is a business openly predicated on alcohol sales. I suggest that those who watch a four-hour NFL game will not nurse “a” glass of wine or “a” beer over the four hours. And remember, most of these people will 1) Drive home and 2) Get up Monday morning maybe not feeling the most productive. I’m guessing 95 percent of all police calls are alcohol or drug related. I’m guessing that Friday and Saturday nights are the most lawless nights. Now, some want to add Sunday. The proposal is for restaurants only. Let me remind you that restaurants include any business with a liquor license and a food license. All of these “restaurants” don’t have candlelight

dinners and tablecloths with only happy, healthy, responsible drinkers as depicted in the ads. I am a citizen and a business man who is taking a public stand against Sunday Alcohol Sales. One day, I will have to answer to a higher power than the city council or chamber of commerce. I’ll feel good about my answer. If this vote passes, I can still say I did what one can do. I ask you, “Sunday alcohol sales at what cost?” WALLIE B. JONES Sumter

WE NEED TO ELECT HONEST PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT OUR STATE The election is less than a month away. Would you vote for someone who lies to you and makes money using their elected position? That is exactly what Mrs. Nikki Haley did using her position as a representative to get a job paying $120,000 with a hospital. Later, they had to fire her for not working. We need fresh air in South Carolina, not Mrs. Haley. She says she will fix our roads but will not tell us how until after we re-elect her. At election time she says she supports public education but during her term she vetoed pay raises for teachers. Just like when she lied to get the hospital job, at election time, she is saying what it takes to win, not the truth. She wouldn’t tell us her revenue agency had millions of our personal in-

formation files stolen for weeks. She paid $12,000,000 of our tax dollars to a private company without a bid for one year of puny service. Then she supports the director of the agency before he quit for trying to do security on the cheap. Raising campaign funds in North Carolina using our tax dollars, promising Georgia people favorable decision by DHEC and then having a fundraiser there. The list goes on. She must think we are stupid. Would you vote for someone who supports spending trillions of dollars to send our fighting men and women all over the world based on lies about weapons of mass destruction? Mr. Lindsey Graham wants to go to war all the time and refuses to admit George Bush lied. He’s trying to scare us into re-electing him and bully us by saying he is a patriot and if you disagree with him, you are not. I came to Sumter over 60 years ago with the Oklahoma ANG during the Korean War. I do love our country. And I am not voting for someone who thinks war is the only answer to every international problem. I’m voting for Mr. Vincent Sheheen for governor and Mr. Brad Hutto for U.S. senator. I want people who are honest and think South Carolina people are more important than party. LOYD YOUNG Sumter

A new Washington Post poll shows that fully 43 percent of Americans say they’re worried that they or someone in their immediate family is going to get the disease, a number that was 11 points lower when the Pew Research Center asked the question just a week ago. Thirty-one percent say they’re very concerned that there will be a “widespread Ebola epidemic” in the U.S., and another 34 percent are somewhat concerned. We’re scared and getting more scared all the time. And it may be time to wonder whether the combination of fear and politics could hinder the effective decision making needed to keep the virus from harming Americans. Yes, Ebola is a terrible infectious disease, one that kills most of the people who catch it. And in parts of West Africa, there is a genuine outbreak that has already killed thousands of people. If you were in Liberia right now, you’d have good reason to be afraid. But you’re not. Here in this country, exactly three people out of 316 million of us have gotten the disease. As a point of comparison, 24 Americans have been killed so far this year in lightning strikes. ••• In “Obama Survival Manual, Intl. Edition,” Bret Stephens writes, “If you think 2014 has been a year of unraveling and disorder, just wait.” Read it online at www.wsj.com: So Paul Krugman, who once called on Alan Greenspan “to create a housing bubble to replace the Nasdaq bubble”; who, a few months before the eurozone crisis erupted, praised Europe as “an economic success” that “shows that social democracy works”; who, as the U.S. fracking revolution was getting underway, opined that America was “just a bystander” in a global energy story defined by “peak oil”; and who, in 2012, hailed Argentina’s economy as a “remarkable success story” — this guy now tells us, in Rolling Stone magazine, that Barack Obama has been a terrific president. I ask the question not as an exhortation to subscribe to Survivalist magazine, stock up on tuna fish and Zithromax and master the arts of homolactic fermentation. In fact, if you’re a resident of the U.S., you’ll probably be OK. What Americans call a recession is what the rest of the world considers affluence. What we call disaster is what others know as existence. But imagine if you are one of the pro-democracy student leaders in Hong Kong; or the president of Estonia or another country in Vladimir Putin ’s sights; or an anti-ISIS Sunni tribal sheik in Iraq; or a commander in the Kurdish Peshmerga; or a fighter in what remains of the Free Syrian Army; or the new president of Afghanistan; or the prime minister of Israel: What are you going to do then? How do you navigate a world in which you can no longer expect the U.S. to serve as a faithful ally and reliable buffer between you and your enemies? Notable & Quotable is compiled by Graham Osteen.

The last word in astrology

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Too much of anything will not bode well for you. Stick to a pace you know you can handle and refuse to try and keep up with someone who has unrealistic goals. Your stability will be rewarded in the end. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Don’t sit still when you can accomplish so much. Favors will be granted and opportunities will pop up where least expected. Put love on a pedestal and show someone you fancy a good time. Your generosity will bring high returns.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Help is on the way. Lend a helping hand and get the same in return. It’s a giveand-take day with a change of heart that will lead to greater happiness, not to mention future opportunities. Love is on the rise. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You are best to go it alone. Don’t expect anything from anyone and you won’t be disappointed. Let your creative imagination wander and you will discover something that will spark an innovative and prosperous idea. Home is your safe haven. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Do your research and explore avenues that entice you. Form a strong alliance with someone who has as much to offer as you do. Romance will improve your relationship. A move or updating your surroundings will improve your situation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t take offense if someone says something inappropriate. You are best to focus on doing your own thing and avoiding any sort of joint effort that is likely to lead to you doing all the work.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Keep a low profile and a tight watch over your money and possessions. Be aware of what the people around you do or say. Delays while traveling can be expected and problems with friends and relatives anticipated.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): The effort you put into your home, family or surroundings will bring huge benefits. Doing as much of the work as you can will result in compliments, not to mentions savings. Romance should be planned for the evening hours to celebrate your accomplishments.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Personal, financial or legal deals can be struck. Important relationships will reach new heights, allowing you to have greater maneuverability to do the things that make the most sense and mean the most to you. Romance is highlighted.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Look out for your interests and avoid getting sucked into helping others at a high cost. You have to be practical even if it makes someone angry. Giving in to demands will lower your self-esteem and lead to loss.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You are best to stay under the radar and out of the limelight. The less said, the easier it will be to accomplish your goals and stabilize your situation. Less is definitely more when it comes to taking a risk.

Searching for answers Jones’ alma mater WF up next as SHS looks to fix mistakes BY DENNIS BRUNSON dennis@theitem.com John Jones saw some improvements from his Sumter High School football team last week against South Florence, but he also saw the number 3 in the turnover category for the Gamecocks and that led to the same results. JONES SHS lost to South Florence 44-21 in its Region VI-4A opener, the third straight game in which it has beaten by more than 20 points in falling to 3-4 on the season. “We ran the ball better than we have in a while, but then you go look at three or four turnovers and that just hurts you,” said Jones, who is in his first season as head coach. “We’re putting our defense in bad situations where they’re staying on the field too long for an awful lot of snaps. We’ve got to do a better job of that if we want to get better.” Sumter will get a chance to do that today when it plays host to West Florence at 7:30 p.m. at Sumter Memorial Stadium. The Knights bring a 4-3 record into the contest after opening their region schedule with a 27-13 victory over Conway. For Jones, he will not only

CHS hoping to adjust quickly BY JUSTIN DRIGGERS justin@theitem.com A key component of football is the ability to make adjustments, and the Crestwood Knights are having to make a big one this week in terms of preparation. CHS spent all of last week preparing for the Wing-T running game of Hartsville, but now has to turn its attention to the five-wide spread offense of Marlboro County. Both teams are 1-1 in Region VI-3A and today’s 7:30 p.m. game in Bennettsville will go a long way toward determining the state playoff pecking order. “It’s definitely different styles,” Crestwood head coach Roosevelt Nelson said. “They’ve got, I believe, a 3- or 4-year starting quarterback (London Johnson), who’s a dual-threat type of guy. He runs well and he passes well, so we’re going to have to try and contain him.

Barons aim to finish stronger BY JUSTIN DRIGGERS justin@theitem.com One thing Wilson Hall didn’t have a problem with earlier in the year was finishing games strong as three of the Barons’ first four contests were lopsided victories. Against Cardinal Newman and Porter-Gaud, late secondhalf scores have hurt the Barons – one in a loss to the Cardinals and one that sent last week’s game against the Cyclones into overtime. WH escaped with a 28-27 victory over the Cylcones on a missed extra point. “We’ve been close,” head coach Bruce Lane said of the last two games. “We’ve been close to getting some stops and also capitalizing on late drives of our own.

Richt doesn’t expect Gurley to play this week ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia star tailback Todd Gurley’s alleged rules violations were discussed on Thursday in a meeting between top school officials and NCAA eligibility staff. Following the meeting in Indianapolis, University of Georgia president Jere Morehead said in a statement “There is no new news at this time and no further comment is necessary.” Coach Mark GURLEY Richt said early Thursday on his Twitter feed he expects Gurley’s indefinite suspension to continue for No. 10 Georgia’s game at Arkansas on Saturday. Aware there has been much speculation about Gurley’s availability this week, Richt used social media to “try to clear up Todd’s status.” EX-CLINIC OWNER PLEADS GUILTY IN MLB DRUG CASE

MIAMI — The former owner of a South Florida anti-aging clinic pleaded guilty Thursday to charges of illegally providing performance-enhancing drugs to athletes including highprofile Major League Baseball players, most notably New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez. Anthony Bosch, former owner of the Biogenesis of America clinic in Coral Gables, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute testosterone before U.S. District Judge Darrin P. Gayles. Bosch, who was not a medi-

cal doctor yet called himself “Dr. T,” faces a maximum 10-year prison sentence but is likely to get far less because of cooperation with prosecutors and with MLB’s investigation into player drug use. Defense attorney Guy Lewis said Bosch, 51, provided key information to MLB investigators that led to suspensions of 14 players, including the record seasonlong suspension handed to Rodriguez for this past year. Bosch also met numerous times with federal prosecutors and U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents, Lewis said. WINSTON HEARING MAY NOT HAVE QUICK RESOLUTION

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The resolution to Florida State’s code of conduct investigation of Jameis Winston may not come before the end of the football season despite imminent deadlines in the process. The first deadline is Friday, when he and the woman who said he sexually assaulted her in December 2012 must strike one of three potential officials that will preside over the hearing. NBA MVP KEVIN DURANT HAS SURGERY ON FRACTURED FOOT

OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma City Thunder say star forward Kevin Durant had successful surgery Thursday to address a bone fracture in his right foot and will be out at least six weeks. General manager Sam Presti said the procedure was performed at a clinic in

Charlotte, North Carolina, after the team, Durant and his representatives “jointly decided” surgery was needed. Durant will be re-evaluated in six weeks. NBA APPROVES MODIFICATIONS FOR INSTANT REPLAY

NEW YORK — The NBA’s Board of Governors has approved several modifications to the league’s instant replay system. The most notable change announced Thursday night allows officials to use replay only in the last two minutes of overtime. Last year, instant replay was available for use in the entire overtime period. Referees can also now review plays to determine if a clear-path foul is warranted even if they did not initially call a clear-path foul. Previously a clear-path foul had to be called for the play to be eligible for review. DECISION SOON ON GOODELL RICE TESTIMONY

A neutral arbiter is expected to decide early next week whether NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell should testify during an appeal of Ray Rice’s indefinite suspension, a person familiar with the case told The Associated Press on Thursday. Goodell said last week he’d leave the decision to former U.S. District Judge Barbara S. Jones. She was picked by the commissioner and the players’ union to hear Rice’s appeal earlier this month. The hearing is tentatively set for November. From wire reports

get too crazy about it they stop having fun and stop winning,” she explained. The mantra for WH, which is 13-2 on the season, has been that the most important shot is the next shot. “We found if you take care of one point at a time, you can win matches that way,” Williams said. “Points take care of themselves and then you have games that follow and sets that follow after that. I’ve enjoyed this group a whole lot.” Of the Lady Barons’ six singles players, three are seniors, including captain Anna Louise Segars, who said this season has been a surprise. “I didn’t ever think we’d make it this far,” Segars said. “Our team this year is way better than I thought they’d be, but I’m really excited. We were joking at the beginning of the season about making it to state because Wilson Hall has never had the girls tennis team win state, so it’d be awesome if we could make it to state and be one of the top two teams.” Segars believes playing at home in the semis at the predetermined site of PTC will be an advantage. “I think it’s going to be pretty close in singles; maybe we’ll split singles and I think doubles (we) will be able to pull it out,” she said. “I think everyone is going to feel more comfortable, and you don’t have to have that long bus ride over, so I think it will help a little bit.” Freshman Zan Beasley plays No. 1 singles followed

The Cardinals have beaten P-G twice. “We are on the cusp (of getting close to going to state) again after winning the region,” Williams said. “Maybe this will be our year.

EXPERIENCE FROM PAGE B1 open both teams’ seasons. Senior Sydney Townsend won the lone match for the Lady Generals at No. 3 singles, while senior Kelsie Decker split sets but lost a tiebreaker. Newman said her team has improved since then and expects a better showing today. “I think each girl has been in a position this season, especially when we’ve played a team like Carolina Academy, that it was close the entire match and they’ve had to take it one point at a time and work hard to win and not give up,” Newman siad. “Our biggest obstacle is some of the (Ashley Hall) players are tournament players, and we don’t have really any player on our team that plays tournaments on the weekend.” AH comes in with a 9-match winning streak after blanking No. 4 seed Heathwood Hall 6-0 in a quarterfinal match on Monday to advance. TSA, 11-3 on the season and the No. 2 lower seed, is no stranger to big matches, having played for the 2A state title in 2012. In fact, it had a dramatic 5-4 victory over Cardinal Newman on Monday to advance. Of the Lady Generals’ six singles positions, five include seniors, with junior Becca Jenkins playing at No. 2. Hannah Jenkins plays at No. 1, Townsend at No. 3, Decker at No. 4, Morgan Houde at No. 5 and Kayla Chappell at No. 6. Hannah Jenkins and Townsend form the top doubles duo followed by Becca Jenkins and Chappell then Houde and Decker. “We’re a good team, so if we lose it’s usually because

we beat ourselves and we’re really good at psyching ourselves out,” Chappell said. “Of course, we’re going to lay it all on the line. We’re seeded lower than they are, so they’re the ones with everything to lose.” Newman said both Chappell and Hannah Jenkins have been good leaders, doing so with their actions. Hannah Jenkins believes it’s important for TSA to focus on its game and get to the lower part of its ladder to force doubles. If it does that, Jenkins believes the team can gain momentum at that point. “I think in order to beat Ashley Hall we really need to focus on making balls and not missing,” Jenkins said. “I think our singles play is very important to winning, and in order to do that we all just have to focus on our match, especially the bottom of the ladder because they always pull through and picks up some wins and that propels us into doubles.” Both senior girls understand this is their last shots at a state title. “I think it would be a disappointment (to lose) because as a school and as a team we hold ourselves to a very high standard, no matter what division we’re in, but I think everyone is very proud of themselves and proud of how well we’ve done this year,” Jenkins said. “We know what it takes to win, and we’re willing to lay it all on the line because we know this could be our last shot because we’re SUMTER ITEM FILE PHOTO seniors. We’re just going to go Thomas Sumter Academy senior and No. 6 singles player Kayla Chappell will look to lead the Lady Generout there and try our hardest als to a SCISA 3A state title berth with a victory over No. 1 lower seed Ashley Hall at 2 p.m. today at Paland hope for the best because metto Tennis Center. that’s all you can do.”

CLEMSON FOOTBALL

Stoudt gets 2nd chance to start at QB for Tigers BY PETE IACOBELLI The Associated Press CLEMSON — Quarterback Cole Stoudt is ready for his second chance to lead No. 24 Clemson. While he was angry and disappointed about losing the starting job, he didn’t pout or quit. Stoudt had started the first three games for the Tigers (4-2, 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) before talented, five-star phenom Deshaun Watson took over behind center. Now, STOUDT Stoudt’s back and will start at Boston College (4-2, 1-1) Saturday after Watson broke a finger in his right hand early in a win over Louisville last week. For Stoudt, this is a chance to finish his senior season strong after it looked like it would end with mop-up duties and mostly watching Watson from the sideline. Stoudt could’ve folded, but stayed sharp to be prepared if this opportunity to play came along. “It was tough,” he said. “I had a mindset there were only two different ways to handle this.” He said one was to just say forget this, and walk away, “and the other was you can go in and make a difference. “You can stay a senior leader and step up and improve others around you. That’s what I did.” Stoudt was still hurting from a shoulder injury he got late in a 41-0 win over North Carolina State two weeks ago when Watson went down. Offensive coor-

SHS FROM PAGE B1 be coaching against a school at which he has served as an assistant, he will be going up against the school at which he played high school football. He insists that has no bearing on how he has prepared for this game. “It’s just another game,” Jones said. “There are some guys (on the West Florence coaching staff) that are personal friends, and that’s where I went to high school and played football. This is about Sumter High football though, not West Florence football.” Running back Russell Jenkins rushed for 178 yards and two touchdowns on 30 carries against the Bruins as the Gamecocks rolled up 266 yards rushing. However, quarterback James Barnes managed to complete just 11 of 31 passes for 135 yards with one TD pass against two interceptions. Jones said he and his staff may limit Barnes’ package against West Florence. “We’re going to narrow it down to having James do the things he does best,” Jones

dinator Chad Morris and coach Dabo Swinney asked Stoudt if he could play through the pain — and Stoudt wasn’t going to let this pass him by. He passed for 162 yards on 20 of 33 passing. He led the Tigers on three second-half field goal drives, all essential in a 23-17 victory over Louisville. “There were a bunch of guys saying they were proud of me and saying I was a gladiator for how I stuck through the game,” Stoudt said. “I’m happy because it shows what kind of team we have.” It shows plenty about Stoudt, too. The son of former NFL passer Cliff Stoudt signed with Clemson after considering Arizona State, Cincinnati, Colorado and other schools. Stoudt became the backup to redshirt sophomore Tajh Boyd his first year in 2011 and began patiently waiting for his time to lead. Stoudt thought it had arrived after the 2012 season after Boyd’s stellar performance as a junior, including a Chick-Fil-A Bowl MVP that drove up his NFL draft stock. Instead, Boyd returned for his final year and Stoudt gladly welcomed him back and prepared for another year on the sidelines. Stoudt won the starting job in spring practice and carried that into the fall. But Clemson coach Dabo Swinney and offensive coordinator Chad Morris chose to give Watson playing time in each game and the young dual-threat passer did not disappoint. Through two games, it was Watson who had more

yards and TD passes than Stoudt and it was no surprise when at Florida State when Watson came in after the first three series, Stoudt did not get back in. Stoudt “didn’t lose the job by playing bad, he lost the job by the other guy being elite,” Swinney said. “We have all the confidence in the world in Cole. We don’t have any doubt that he’s capable of being an excellent division one starter and this is an important opportunity for him.” Morris said should Stoudt play strongly the next month with Watson sidelined, the senior could keep the job once the freshman is healthy. “A lot is going to be determined the next few weeks,” Morris said. Boston College coach Steve Addazio thinks Clemson’s offense has run well with Stoudt. “He’s a talented guy and he throws the ball well,” he said. “Schematically, they pose a fair amount of problems.” Defensive tackle DeShawn Williams, a senior who came in with Stoudt, empathized when his classmate went to the bench and said everyone on the team is gratified with his latest chance. “We believe in Cole,” Williams said. “We just let him know that his brothers have his back.” Stoudt leaned on his dad, the rest of his family, friends and teammates to stay positive. “It’s your senior year,” he said. “You don’t have to have a setback of doubts about your play. I’ve put that behind me. I’ve moved on.” Right back behind center for the Tigers.

said. “We may have had him doing too many things. We’re going to have him play the type of game at which he is most confident.” Jones expressed frustration in the fact the Gamecocks have struggled offensively the last few games after a strong start to the season coming off of last year’s run to the 4A Division I state championship game. When SHS didn’t score in the first quarter against SF, that marked 11 straight quarters in which the offense didn’t score. “We just haven’t been consistent on offense,” he said. “We’ll have one game where we run the ball well and don’t throw it well, and then we’ll have a game where we throw it well and don’t run it well.

We’ve got to have a balance there; that’s when we’re most effective.” Jones expects to see the Knights’ Shrine Bowl quarterback Marquane Goodman play today. Goodman hasn’t played since injuring his collarbone in the second week of the season. He’s practiced all week, but West Florence head coach Trey Woodberry wouldn’t say if Goodman will start. “That’s made us prepare for them with him and without him,” Jones said. Jones has pointed out to his team that the season is far from lost despite a 3-game losing streak. “I’ve told them it’s now a 4-game season,” he said. “It’s up to you to see what you can get out of it.”

KNIGHTS FROM PAGE B1 season with wide receiver Tabari Hines accounting for nine total scores by himself. Working out of a mostly empty backfield, the Bulldogs (2-5) like to make things happen in space, Nelson said, and that means the Knights (1-6) will have to tackle in space as well. “You have to tackle sideline to sideline,” Nelson said. “You have to be able to tackle in space and make sure you make the tackle. We didn’t do a very good job of tackling in the first half against Hartsville, so that’s something we addressed in practice this week.” Crestwood fell to the Red Foxes 41-6, but only seven of Hartsville’s points came after the first half. “The kids did a good job of not giving up,” Nelson said. “They kept playing hard and we kept coaching hard and we had a much better second half defensively.” The Knights had allowed less than 30 points the four games prior to last week’s loss in Kelleytown. However, the Crestwood offense has averaged just 12.2 points per

game during the last five contests. Last week, running back Ty’Son Williams scored on a 92-yard run early in the first quarter. Crestwood managed just 100 yards of total offense after that. Previously against Darlington, it was two TD runs by Williams that helped seal the victory along with a fumble return for a score, but the consistency has not been where the Knights need it to be, Nelson said. “We haven’t been able to sustain drives offensively,” he said. “Mistakes and turnovers have been a big part of that, but we just haven’t been able to convert third downs and move the chains enough. That starts on first down. We have to get positive yardage to begin with so we don’t put ourselves in too many thirdand-long situations.” The Bulldogs are similar to CHS in points scored and points allowed. Marlboro has averaged 19.9 points a game this season while allowing an average of 28.1. MCHS has scored 24 points or less in its last three games.

BARONS FROM PAGE B1 those things as well. “We’ve played pretty well up until this point and we’re close to being right back on track.” The Barons will look to do just that in what might be their last home game of the season today at 7:30 p.m. at Spencer Field. Wilson Hall, which is 5-2 overall and 3-2 in SCISA 3A play, welcomes Pinewood Prep, which is 4-4 overall and 2-3 in region play a year after going 0-10. “Right now they’re in the playoffs and jockeying for position so it’s a big game for both schools,” Lane said. “They’ve done a tremendous job this year turning things around. Their scheme is solid on both the offensive and defensive sides and they’re playing hard.” The Panthers won a pair of close games against Heathwood Hall and Augusta Christian before last week’s 40-17 loss to Hammond. Still, Lane says Pinewood possesses one of the things that have given the Barons trouble this year. “They’re big physically across the lines and they can create matchup problems,” Lane said. “That’s one of the

things that has hurt us this year. They’ve got a big tight end that can catch the ball and has speed. “But overall, it’s going to come down to turnovers, the kicking game and defense. If you’re solid in those three areas, that’s usually a recipe for success.” The Barons are still giving up an average of just 14.7 points per game, although it’s been at least 26 the last two weeks. The Panthers have averaged 20 points a game, but have not scored more than 17 in any of the last three weeks. WH has averaged 30.1 points through seven games, but has fallen short of that average the last three weeks. Pinewood is allowing an average of 23 per game. “We’ve had opportunities to put points on the board the last few games and haven’t been able to connect on some things,” Lane said. “Turnovers and mishandling the football have hurt us and other times we’ve had some things open in the passing game and just haven’t been able to connect. “Right now, we just have to finish on both sides of the ball.”

Clemson adds QB Cooper to 2016 class J

unior quarterback Zerrick Cooper (6-feet3-inches, 195 pounds) of Jonesboro, Ga., committed to Clemson on Saturday while on an unofficial visit with his parents for the Louisville game. Cooper is the Tigers’ second commitment for the 2016 class. Some of his other offers were Ohio State, Nebraska, Virginia Tech, Kentucky Mississippi, North Carolina State and Miami. Cooper suffered a season-ending knee injury in Game 2 of this season. As a sophomore, he passed for 1,200 yards and seven touchdowns with three interceptions. “The relationship with (Clemson offensive coordinator) Coach (Chad) Morris and (head) Coach (Dabo) Swinney, I won’t find that anywhere else,” said Cooper in explaining his choice of the Tigers. “They have stuck with me through the injury.” Cooper is a dual-threat QB as a runner and a passer, he said similar to that guy the Tigers now have running their offense. “I see myself running the offense like Deshaun Watson,” Cooper said. “They run the spread and that’s one of my favorite offenses to run. I love to throw the ball. I throw the ball to playmakers and make big plays.” Cooper said he’s making an excellent recovery from the torn anterior cruciate ligament he suffered earlier in the season and expects to come back even stronger next season. Wide receiver Shadell Bell of Lithonia, Ga., a Clemson commitment who was offered by South Carolina last week, said he is 100 percent committed to the Tigers. USC AND CLEMSON

Defensive lineman DJ Jones of East Mississippi Junior College via Wren High School in Piedmont has taken official visits to Florida State, to which he is committed, and USC, and he’s looking at Clemson, Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss and West Virginia for his other visits. He had planned to take an unofficial visit to FSU for the Clemson game last month, but didn’t make it. He does plan to go back to Tallahassee for the Notre Dame game on Saturday. As for USC and Clemson, Jones remains in regular contact with each. “I talked to USC a few days ago, (assistant) Coach (Deke) Adams,” Jones said. “He’s telling me the same things, that they are going to work me hard and try to get me. He feels like that’s a good place for me. “I talked to Clemson about a week ago, (assistant) Coach (Marion) Hobby. They want me home and they are stressing that they are losing most of their inside guys and there will be an open slot. As of right now, I’m committed to Florida State. It’s not any kind of soft, medium or hard, but if today was signing day, I’d be signing with Florida State. But, I’m weighing my options.” On a side note, Jones shared his take on his teammate, former Clemson QB Chad Kelly. “He wants to go to South Carolina on an official,” Jones said. “You put two and two together. He ain’t a selfish player like, I want to play against Clemson. He feels like South Carolina would be a good fit for him seeing how they lose Dylan Thompson. He’ll go anywhere where they allow their quarterback to throw the ball and have the option to run it.

As far as I know, it’s Ole Miss and Tennessee, that’s all I know.” Jones said he’s not Phil Kornblut aware of any interest in RECRUITING Kelly by CORNER USC, and Kelly hasn’t told him of any contact. East Mississippi is 7-0 after a 49-0 win over Holmes last week and is the No. 1 ranked JC team in the country. The Lions average 552 yards and 57 points per game. Kelly has passed for 2,329 yards with 27 TDs and five interceptions while completing 68 percent of his passes. He’s also rushed for 240 yards and three scores. As for Jones, he has 20 tackles with two QB sacks and five tackles for loss. Another teammate, DL Dante Sawyer, a USC commitment, has 14 tackles with three sacks and seven TFLs. USC

USC commitment defensive end Quandeski Whitlow of Opelika, Ala., has scheduled an official visit to Louisville for Jan. 17, 2015. WR Darius Slayton of Norcross, Ga., took his first official visit of the fall a couple of weeks ago to Georgia when the Bulldogs played Tennessee. He went unofficially to Auburn for the Louisiana State game. He’s also been to USC this season for the UGA game. Slayton talked with Gamecock recruiter GA Mangus last week. “It was just a general conversation, checking in,” Slayton said. “I hope to get back there for a game. I think they’re really interested and I’m interested in them.” Slayton has not scheduled any other official visits and he’s undecided about where he will go on those visits. He does not have a timetable for a decision nor a leader. “I’m just going step by step and weighing all my options,” he said. Clemson is also an offer, but he’s not heard from the Tigers recently. Some of his other offers are Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, UGA, Duke, Ohio State, Wisconsin and LSU. USC defensive back commitment Antoine Wilder of Lithonia, Ga., had major knee surgery this month to repair torn meniscus in a knee and is out for the rest of the season. Wilder was hurt a couple of weeks ago while playing running back. He had the option for surgery that would have allowed him to return this season, but opted for the more involved procedure so he could get healthy for college. Wilder committed to the Gamecocks in June. “I’m still solid with USC,” he said. “I love (assistant) Coach (Grady) Brown and (defensive coordinator) Coach (Lorenzo) Ward. I’m firmly committed unless I get blown away on a visit.” Wilder is planning to take an official visit to Louisville and, if it offers, UGA. He’s also going to LSU for the Alabama game, UGA for the Auburn game and Louisville when it plays FSU. He’d also like to get to USC for the Tennessee game. Wilder added that his teammate and fellow Gamecock commitment, DE Arden Key, will go on the same unofficial visits that he takes Linebacker Jalen Henry of Foley, Ala., has been commit-

ted to USC since June. He hasn’t been back to the school since his unofficial visit that month. He will be back in November. Henry has scheduled his official visit for Nov. 21 when the Gamecocks play their final home game of the season against South Alabama. Henry said he remains fully committed to USC and at this point doesn’t plan to visit elsewhere. JUNIORS USC

USC’s top QB target for ‘16, Brandon McIlwain of Newtown, Pa., made a visit to Auburn for the LSU game. That was his first game at Auburn though he visited there last summer. “It was nice to be able to see their offense in person and the way they run the no-huddle and spread and the different reads Nick Marshall was able to make throughout the game,” McIlwain said. He has also been to USC and Penn State this season and will go to Duke for the North Carolina game. He will also go to UF and VT to complete visits to his final six schools. He is not planning a return trip to any of the schools on his list. McIlwain’s father went to USC and he has lots of family in the state. He remains in weekly contact with Mangus. “He’s just keeping in touch and we do updates on our seasons and the adjustments both teams are making,” McIlwain said. “He’s letting me enjoy the recruiting process and not putting too much pressure for a commitment. He does talk about that I’m the only quarterback for 2016 he’s offered, and I’m their main guy and I’m the one they want at their school.” McIlwain said there is no order to his final six, and he won’t make one until after he completes his visits. He plans to have a decision in late December or early January, but that is not definite. And he won’t trim his list further; he will just pick one from the six. So far this season, McIlwain has 13 passing TDs and 10 rushing TDs. CLEMSON

Clemson has a slight lead over Auburn for placekicker Alex Barbir (5-9, 185) of Cumming, Ga., though neither has offered. Barbir visited Clemson for the NCSU. Barbir suffered from hip and back pains over the summer that precluded him from kicking in front of coaches. He said he is nearly back to full strength and Clemson recruiter Danny Pearman will be by his school sometime soon to watch him kick. “They were talking about offering me this past summer, but that injury made it hard,” Barbir said of Clemson. “I’m feeling good right now and have 14 touch backs on my 16 kickoffs.” He is the PK, punter and kickoff specialist for his team. Barbir will visit Auburn on Oct. 25 and will be back in Clemson for the USC game. Junior QB Drayton Arnold of Myrtle Beach High visited Clemson for the NCSU game and called his trip a good one. Arnold is hearing from the Tigers and said they are one of the schools showing the most interest. Another Atlantic Coast Conference school may be more interested in the Myrtle Beach product, however. “Wake Forest is showing a lot of interest in me right now,” Arnold said. “I hope they offer soon. I went up there for the Tulane game and

I like it a lot. It’s a great school academically and, even though they’re rebuilding the program right now, I have confidence they’ll get it done.” His sole offer is from Ohio with Clemson, WF, Duke, NCSU and East Carolina showing interest. Arnold’s next visit will be to ECU this weekend. USC AND CLEMSON

Offensive lineman Clark Yarbrough of Woodberry Forest, Va., was offered by Clemson last week. He also has a USC offer. DB John Broussard of Phenix City, Ala., continues to hold interest in USC and Clemson despite not having heard from either recently. He hopes to get to a game at both this season. Broussard camped at USC this past summer. H was at Auburn for the LSU game, and living just a few miles down the road from the campus, Broussard admitted that gives Auburn a slight edge over the field. He feels Auburn and Kentucky are recruiting him the hardest right now. He’s also been to Alabama for games. Broussard has 14 offers -USC, Clemson, Auburn, FSU, LSU, UGA, UK, PSU, Louisville, Mississippi State, Southern Mississippi, Nebraska and Ole Miss. He doesn’t have favorites and hopes to be able to graduate early. OL John Simpson of Fort Dorchester High in North Charleston picked up an offer from Clemson when he visited for the NCSU game. “It was like the first time I got an offer, it was exciting,” Simpson said. “I didn’t want to go crazy, but I was happy. He (OL coach Robbie Caldwell) told me that when I was in camp he saw how I moved and he was watching my film and said I have a lot of potential at offensive guard.” The offer was the highlight of the visit for Simpson, but the rest was pretty cool, too. “I liked it a lot,” he said. “It was a big difference from when I went to (South) Carolina, the way they do things up there. The offense, period. It’s different. The locker room was awesome. It was just nice. The weight room was unbelievable.” Simpson was first offered by USC and the Gamecocks led for him early, but there is no leader now that he also holds the Clemson offer. “I never thought I would come this far,” Simpson said. “I don’t really know (about a favorite). It’s hard. It’s kind of in between. I went to Carolina and they blew my mind, and I went to Clemson and they blew my mind.” He also hearing from FSU, LSU, UK and Virginia. WR Divine Deablo of Winston-Salem, N.C., made his second trip to the Palmetto State when he visited Clemson for the UNC game. Deablo visited USC for its season opener against Texas A&M. The Tigers are in Deablo’s top five along with UNC, UGA, VT and Louisville. BASKETBALL

Seven-foot center Rozelle Nix of Pensacola JC in Florida is down to a final three of USC, Loyola Marymount and Pittsburgh. Nix previously had stated he would not sign until the spring, but he now plans to sign in November. “Nope, there is no leader,” Nix said. As for USC, he said, “It’s just like Pensacola, but it’s bigger.” Nix last talked to the Game-

cocks last week. Nix has taken official visits to USC and Marymount and will visit Pitt on Oct. 24. Panthers head coach Jamie Dixon was in recently to watch Nix work out. USC’s Frank Martin also has been down. Nix will make his decision soon after the visit to Pitt and will consider a couple of factors when weighing his choice. “Where I can see myself playing at, and where it feels more comfortable,” he said. Nix also had offers from Morehead State, Miami (Ohio), Ball State, Bowling Green and Idaho. Nix is a native of Cincinnati, who at one time weighed nearly 400 pounds. He has his weight down to 318 pounds at this point. Jacob Evans, a 6-6 player from Baton Rouge, La., has narrowed his list to USC and Cincinnati. He has dropped LSU, Tulane and Auburn. Clemson cancelled an official visit scheduled for this past weekend with 6-11 Matt Neufeld, a Canadian who attends school in Bel Aire, Kan., according to his head coach, Kyle Lindsted. He did not know exactly why Clemson dropped Neufeld, but felt the decision could be related to the Tigers being close with another big man. That could be 6-9 Johncarlos Reyes of Suwanee, Ga. He attends school in LaGrange, Ga., and worked out in front of Tigers head coach Brad Brownell late last month. He talked on the phone with Tiger assistant coach Steve Smith late last week. The Tigers also saw Reyes in their elite camp this past summer. “We talked about how they would use me and how I fit in,” Reyes said of his conversation with Smith. “Clemson has been recruiting me for a while and they definitely want me.” He has not set any official visits because he hasn’t taken the SAT orACT yet. He will take it soon. Reyes wants to take official visits to Clemson and Tennessee. He also has interest in USC, Texas Tech and A&M. He last heard from the Gamecocks about two weeks ago. PSU and La Salle planned to watch him practice last week. Cleveland State is the latest school to offer Reyes. He also claims offers from Connecticut, Western Kentucky, Georgia Tech, Memphis and Alabama. Reyes does not plan to sign until the spring, and he said Clemson has told him it will stay with him. Tevin Mack, a 6-5 player from Dreher High in Columbia, made his official visit to UConn over the weekend and will wrap up his official visits with a trip to USC this weekend. He has also seen Clemson, UGA and Virginia Commonwealth. “I like all the schools,” Mack said. “They are all good schools. Everybody is still even.” Mack said he’ll make his decision soon after his official visit to USC. BASEBALL

Junior catcher and outfielder Mark Coffers (6-0, 180) of Naples, Fla., de-committed from Ole Miss and committed to USC at the end of September, according to the Naples Daily News. Coffers also considered ND, Vandy, UF and ECU, according to PerfectGame.com. Coffers batted .280 in 24 games last season with 13 runs batted in and 18 runs scored. Coffers is USC’s 11th commitment for the ‘16 class.

NASCAR

NASCAR: Harvick at ease at tense Talladega BY JENNA FRYER The Associated Press TALLADEGA, Ala. — Guaranteed of a spot in the third round of NASCAR’s playoffs, Kevin Harvick has no reason to race hard Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway. If it was up to him, he wouldn’t race at all.

Four of NASCAR’s top drivers will see their title hopes come to an end at Talladega, where the Chase HARVICK for the Sprint Cup championship field will be cut from 12 to eight. Among those in danger of becoming a title-race spec-

tator are defending champion Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth — Johnson’s closest competition last season — Daytona 500 winner Dale Earnhardt Jr. and 2012 champion Brad Keselowski. With so much on the line for others and nothing for Harvick to gain, he would really like to watch it all unfold.

“I’d park it because it’ll be one hell of a race to watch,” Harvick joked about his Talladega strategy. “It’s going to be fun to watch. It’s going to be crazy, offensive racing.” Harvick’s win last Saturday at Charlotte Motor Speedway earned him an automatic berth into the third round of the Chase. It was a welcome

relief to Harvick, who likes NASCAR’s new elimination format but complained it’s created many a sleepless night. “It makes me want to puke every week,” Harvick said. “My wife can tell you, it’s like you go home and all you do, you lay up at night and you think about, ‘OK, what do I have to do next week?
