Military mulls longer Afghan stay With Taliban gaining ground, commanders rethink planned exit WASHINGTON (AP) — With the Taliban gaining new ground, U.S. military commanders are arguing for keeping at least a few thousand American troops in Afghanistan beyond

2016, a move that would mark a departure from President Obama’s current policy. Afghan forces on Wednesday were preparing for what is expected to be a protracted battle to retake Kunduz, a key city that was overrun by the Taliban on Monday, and the U.S. was assisting with at least five airstrikes during the past two days. The struggle highlighted concerns about the apparent fragility of U.S.-trained Afghan se-

curity forces. White House press secretary Josh Earnest said conditions on the ground in Afghanistan, including the current trouble in Kunduz, would be taken into account as Obama considers how to proceed with his planned drawdown of troops. Under his existing plan, only an embassy-based security cooperation presence of about 1,000 military personnel would remain at the end of next year.

Obama has made it a centerpiece of his second-term foreign policy message that he would end the U.S. war in Afghanistan and get American troops out by the time he left office in January 2017. About 9,800 U.S. troops are in Afghanistan. But the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Army Gen. John F. Campbell, has given the administration

BY SUSANNE M. SCHAFER The Associated Press FOREST ACRES — A police officer responding to a report of a suspicious person was fatally shot at a suburban South Carolina mall on Wednesday, and police say the suspect is charged with murder. Police first got a call on the shooting about 8 a.m., Forest Acres police ALIA Chief Gene Sealy told reporters. Two officers responded and attempted to talk to Jarvis Hall, who fled on foot and ran through parts of Richland Mall, including the Barnes and Noble bookstore, officials said. Officer Greg Alia confronted Hall, there was a struggle and he was shot, Sealy said. Alia was taken to a hospital and later died, officials said. No other injuries were reported. The State Law Enforcement Division charged Hall with murder and possession of a weapon during commission of a violent crime Wednesday afternoon. He killed Alia with a .40-caliber handgun that had been stolen from neighboring Lexington County in early September, according to arrest warrants. Hall also had a knife along with the gun, Sealy said. The chief did not take questions at the news conference. Sealy said Alia was 32 years old and a seven-year veteran of the department. He and his wife, Kassy, recently had a

General Assembly leaders: Court order ‘blatantly unconstitutional’ BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com The South Carolina Supreme Court has sent a “hurry-up” message to legislators trying to reform the state’s education system, and General Assembly leadership has responded by accusing the court of “breathtaking” disregard of the separation of powers enshrined in the South Carolina Constitution. On Sept. 24, the court issued an order establishing a timeline for addressing

constitutional violations found by the court in Abbeville County School District v. the State. In June, attorneys for the mostly poor and rural school districts that are plaintiffs in the lawsuit filed a motion for the court to supplement its original order with a “more concrete” time line. The Supreme Court granted the motion on a 3-2 vote and ordered the state to form a three-person panel of experts to identify the educational needs of students in the plaintiff districts by Oct. 15. The expert panel is ordered to

propose remedies and present a written report by March 15. The order calls for the state to present a plan for implementing a “constitutionally compliant education system” to the expert panel by Feb. 1, and for the plaintiff school districts to make their response by March 1. In a letter sent Tuesday to Supreme Court Chief Justice Jean Toal, Senate President Pro Tempore Hugh Leatherman and House Speaker Jay Lucas expressed their concerns with the order and indicated the General Assembly

may choose not to comply. “We are dismayed by the order’s breathtaking disregard for one of the most fundamental constitutional principles upon which our government is based,” the letter said. “Even though we recognize the court’s finding of constitutional deficiencies outlined in Abbeville II, we believe the court’s authority ends there.” The letter says the order is “blatantly unconstitutional” and accuses the

Historian examines Cherokee-settler relations FROM STAFF REPORTS As part of The American Revolutionary War in South Carolina exhibit at the Camden Archives & Museum, Fritz Hamer will present a program focusing on the Native American experience before and during the Revolution. In his 3 p.m. Sunday program, Hamer will examine the conditions of the Southern backcountry on the eve of the AmeriHAMER can Revolution and the relations between the Indian nations, especially the Cherokee, and the British up to 1775. He will then turn to the Cherokees and their campaign to expel the frontier settlers from Cherokee lands in 1776, with the expectation that the Crown would come to their aid. The talk will conclude by reviewing how these relations changed in the wake of the Cherokee war of 1776. A few of the key figures that Hamer will discuss are traders such as George Galphin of Silver Bluff, John Stuart, British commissioner for Southern Indian Affairs, and Cherokee war chief Dragging Canoe. This special presentation is free and open to the public. Hamer is stack manager for the South

Caroliniana Library at the University of South Carolina. He received his bachelor of art degree in history from Acadia University in 1976, his master of art degree in 1982 and his doctor of philosophy degree in 1998 in public history and history from University of South Carolina. Hamer was the curator of history at the S.C. State Museum from 1986-2011. During his tenure at the museum, he curated 15 major exhibits and co-curated others, authored or co-authored three books, wrote several articles and gave presentations to organizations throughout South Carolina and elsewhere that included both general groups and professional historical organizations. He has served on numerous boards, among them the S.C. Heritage Land Trust, South Carolina Historic Preservation Review Board and the South Carolina Historical Association. He is on the board of the Foundation for the SC Department of Archives and History. The public is invited to attend Hamer’s presentation titled “The Southern Frontier and Cherokee Relations Before and During the American Revolution” at 3 p.m. Sunday at the Camden Archives & Museum, 1314 Broad St., Camden. Admission is free.

Sumter Police Department continues to ask the public to take more caution when leaving their vehicles unattended in order to reduce vehicular break-ins. Police department Public Information Officer Tonyia McGirt said the department has been publicizing the need to lock vehicles and keep valuables out of sight. What is particularly troubling is that some of the incidents can be prevented, she said. There has not been an increase in break-ins, and there is no specific area of town or time of day for a break-in to occur, but there is a pattern of people leaving cars unlocked, she said. McGirt said the individuals who commit the crimes sometimes just pull on door handles to see if the vehicle is open. In most cases, vehicles are left unlocked or potentially valuable items are placed in visible areas in the vehicle, according to a news release from the department. McGirt said those who are going on vacation can fill out a form at the police department to have law enforcement drive by their home more frequently while they are away. “Vehicle break-ins are crimes of opportunity,” Chief Russell F. Roark III said in the news release. “The best way to prevent them is to be vigilant and take a few extra steps to protect your belongings at all times, especially now that the holiday season is rapidly approaching.” The police department offers the following tips when leaving a vehicle unattended: • Park in well-lit areas that are visible to passers-by; • Remove valuables from your vehicle or place them out of sight. These items include wallets, purses, loose change, cellphones and chargers, laptops and tablets and other gadgets. Also, do not leave firearms in your glove box or console overnight; and • Always “Lock It Before You Leave It” and check your vehicle locks again just to be on the safe side.

Coffee House Productions hosting release party BY IVY MOORE ivy@theitem.com Elijah Bradford, musician and composer, will present his new project, a CD/DVD titled “Ebony and Ivory — Worship in Black & White” at a release party Sunday at Salem Missionary Baptist Church, 320 W. Fulton St. The 7 p.m. event is presented in conjunction with Bradford’s Coffee House Productions anniversary concert. The DVD “includes footage from the Coffee House Revue we did back in June along with some behind-the-

scenes interview footage. The entire DVD is in black and white, giving the viewer the feel of (vintage TV shows) ‘I Love Lucy,’ ‘American Bandstand’ and ‘The Ed Sullivan Show’” he said. Local performers on the DVD include Purpose Driven, The Valentinos and Te’Quan Coe. In addition, performers participating in Saturday’s concert will be Shonda English, Sumter’s Justified, Justin Rufus and Peculiar People, Lady Kaye, Natasha Levy, Kevin Thompson and Rebirth, Camilla Reed Divine Harmony and others. “There is also a special appearance

from the children of Coffee House and First Lady Tonya Goodman of Alive Praise and Worship Center,” Bradford said. He produced the DVD with James Sanders of Superior Image, Bradford said, and collaborated in the production of the CD with Clarence Sims of Creative Sound Music Group. Bradford described the music as “songs (that) range from foot-stomping gospel to the sound of Motown’s top groups like The Temptations, The Supremes, The Four Tops, and Delfonics. All of the songs were written by me

with one collaboration with songwriter Marquitta Addison on ‘Amazing God.’” This project and concert are dedicated to the memory of Professor Thomas A. Dorsey, father of gospel music; Florence Ballard of the Supremes; Maxine Powell, artist development coach at Motown; and Sam Cooke. Host for the concert and CD/DVD release will be Minister David Simmons. Admission is free, and the CD/DVD combination will be sold during Saturday’s event only.

Sumter restaurant hopes to overcome fowl incident BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com For more than a decade, Kobe Japanese Steakhouse has been a fixture at 1121 Broad St., but an “unfortunate situation,” has the owners concerned about the restaurant’s future. At the end of June, the owners, Bing and Amy Zhang, were planning a special event for their son at their home, for which they had ordered some live chickens from a friend, according to office manager Beverly Compton.

The people delivering the chickens didn’t find anyone at the house to take the live chickens, she said, so they dropped them off at the back of the restaurant. Since the lunch hour was past, Bing Zhang brought one of the chickens in the restaurant and decided to go ahead and clean it, not realizing it would run afoul of state health regulations, Compton said. A customer in the restaurant eating lunch heard the chicken and went back there and saw the chicken, she said, and they called the health department.

“It just so happens that the health department was already coming there for their inspection that day,” Compton said. “The rest is history.” Department of Health and Environmental Control Inspector Randall Lowder came in and, seeing the chicken, which is a violation, immediately had the owners bring in a sterilization team, which sterilized the entire kitchen while he watched. Lowder gave the restaurant a “C” grade. The following Thursday, a Columbia TV station aired a

report on the incident, and many customers were left with the impression the restaurant slaughters live chickens for service at Kobe, Compton said. “Since then there has been a total decline in their business,” she said. “It’s very unfortunate because this was a one-time thing that has never happened before in their 11 years in this spot.” Compton said the eatery purchases all of their meat from US Foods and Cisco Foods, where they have bought all of their meats from day one.

“These are long-standing relationships where they spend an estimated $12,000 to $20,000 per month, depending on demand,” she said. Compton said they are struggling to put the incident behind them. “The perception is they are killing and serving chickens in the restaurant, and that is not the case,” she said. Compton pointed out the restaurant has since been inspected twice by DHEC and has received an “A” rating each time. “The “A” is of course posted on their door,” she said.

Reach part-timers to grow dwindling congregations

’ll admit that this week’s column comes to you heavily biased by my own childhood experience. My parents were extremely active in church, each serving on staff for the whole of my adolescence. The seats of most of my pants were practically dyed red from the pew fabric. When the doors were unlocked, we were there, so much so that my sister and I had to come up with ways to pass the time, which is how my sister was almost blinded during a spirited game of “Pass the Offering Plate.” As an adult I’m still at church a lot because I married a minister. Call me a glutton for punishment, but I can’t seem to get away from all things church. I love the community of faith in spite of its ubiquitous idiosyncrasies and nuances. It’s from this not-sounique perspective that I can commiserate with those active in the church when it comes to lackluster church attendance. It’s frustrating because both our church rolls as well as statisticians tell us that church attendance is in decline. While in the past, I’ve focused on how to get the unchurched to church, I’d like to highlight a group that can bring even the most vibrant

of ministries to a halt. There are people who attend church regularly and those who do not attend at For the Faith Matters all. most part, it JAMIE H. is easy to proWILSON vide ministries or programs to these people; they are easily quantifiable and predictable. Then there is a group that lands somewhere on the scale in between. Church is a priority, if nothing else better is going on. “At least they go sometimes” is the excuse that helps us run roughshod over our responsibilities to draw these people in. As long as they show up once in a while, we say. As advocates of a living faith, we need to remember we aren’t fighting for the front door; we are fighting for deeper faith. The core mission of many churches is to make disciples; to instill a hunger and provide opportunities for a deepening faith. We are so busy trying to staunch the flow of the unchurched populace that we forget our best defense is to pre-

pare those who willingly — if only occasionally — come through our church doors. I’ve seen Sunday School teachers sitting in their rooms, dismayed because their thoughtfully prepared lesson will go to waste for want of students. Meaningful discussion is squelched because half of the class went to the football game last night. The kids were tired so the family stayed home on Sunday morning, which meant the minister had to combine classes, forgoing an age-specific lesson for each group. Volunteers get discouraged, teachers give up, pastors become frustrated. The church family settles, like silt under a current deemed too formidable. Should these intermittent attendees come more often? Yes. Should we also find ways to help others plug in? Yes. Responsibility lies on both sides. Hebrews 10:25 encourages the body of believers to regularly get together so that everyone can benefit from another’s experience and insight. I would hate to see any congregation flounder because it was unwilling or unable to call others to a deeper faith. Email Jamie H. Wilson at faithmatzterssumter@gmail.com.

Mormons acknowledge early history of polygamy SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Mormon church’s renovated history museum set to reopen this week features a small and surprising display about an uncomfortable part of the faith’s history that for generations has been glossed over: polygamy. The display is tucked inside a modern revamped museum that tells the story of how the church was founded and formed in the eastern U.S. from 1820-1846 before Mormons trekked across the country to settle in Utah. Inside a special theater with a 220-degree screen, visitors can watch a theatrical dramatization

on preventative measures and health screenings.

The decision by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to provide more details about what is known as this “first vision” and acknowledge the early days of polygamy — a practice that has been outlawed by the mainstream church since 1890 — marks the latest illustration of the religion’s push for transparency instead of secrecy when it comes to its history and beliefs, religious scholars said.

Burned as a baby, woman meets nurse who cared for her ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — For 38 years, a few black-and-white photographs of a nurse cradling a baby provided comfort to a woman who suffered terrible burns and endured years of playground taunts and painful surgeries thereafter. For all that time, until Tuesday, she dreamed of meeting her again. The photos show Amanda Scarpinati at just 3 months old, her head thickly wrapped in gauze, resting calmly in the nurse’s arms. Shot for the Albany Medical Center’s 1977 annual report, the images have a beatific, “Madonna and Child” quality. As a baby, she had rolled off a couch onto a boiling steam vaporizer. Melted, mentholated ointment scalded her skin. The burns would require many reconstructive surgeries through the years. The photos helped. “Growing up as a child, disfigured by the burns, I was bullied and picked on, tormented,” she said. “I’d look at those pictures and talk to her, even though I didn’t know who she was. I took comfort looking at this woman who seemed so sincere, caring for me.” Scarpinati now lives in Athens, 25 miles south of Albany, and works as a human resources manager. All her life, she wanted to thank the nurse who showed her such loving care, but she didn’t even know her name. She tried to find out 20 years ago, without success. The pictures were taken by photographer Carl Howard, but his subjects weren’t identified.

Nurse Susan Berger, left, and Amanda Scarpinati hug during a news conference at Albany Medical Center on Tuesday in Albany, New York. Scarpinati, who suffered severe burns as an infant, is finally getting the chance to thank Berger, who cared for her, thanks to a social media posting that revealed the identity of the nurse in 38-year-old photos. Above right, Amanda Scarpinati holds old photographs of herself being held by a nurse before a news conference at Albany Medical Center on Tuesday in Albany, New York. At a friend’s urging, she tried again this month, posting the photos on Facebook and pleading for help. “Within 12 hours, it had gone viral with 5,000 shares across the country,” Scarpinati said. She had her answer within a day:

The fresh-faced young nurse with the long, wavy hair was Susan Berger, then 21. Angela Leary, a fellow nurse at the medical center back then, recognized her and sent Scarpinati a message, saying Berger “was as sweet and caring as she looks in this picture.”

tyles are always changing. Though we may look different on the outside, there are old truths and lasting principles that we still believe in. Found in the Bible and taught through the ages, God’s ways guide us through life and give us hope. Attend His house of worship that “…you may tell of them to the next generation. For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will be our guide even to the end.” (Psalm 48:13-14)

Preserved by the photos, their encounters in the pediatric recovery room turned out to have a lasting impact on both their lives. “I remember her,” Berger said before they met face to face on Tuesday. “She was very peaceful. Usually when babies come out of surgery, they’re sleeping or crying. She was just so calm and trusting. It was amazing.” Berger had been fresh out of college, and baby Amanda was one of her first patients. Now she’s nearing the end of her career, overseeing the health center at Cazenovia College in New York’s Finger Lakes region. Both women were thrilled to see each other again Tuesday, sobbing and embracing as cameras clicked all around them in a medical center conference room. “Oh my God, you’re real! Thank you!” Scarpinati said. “Thank YOU!” Berger responded.

Is NBC’s ‘The Blacklist’ a thinking person’s thriller? BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH Can anybody really explain what’s going on in the world of “The Blacklist” (9 p.m., NBC, TV-14)? Does anybody really care? You need a scorecard to keep up with the number of conspiracies and betrayals here, but you needn’t try too hard. The real fun is watching James Spader as the the worldweary “Red” Reddington. He’s on the run as the third season begins, accompanied by Liz Keen (Megan Boone), FBI agent turned world’s mostwanted fugitive. Washington, D.C. is sealed tighter than a drum. Reason tells us that our shady duo can’t possibly escape. But too many seasons of “24” make us feel otherwise. The fun thing about “Blacklist” is that it’s an espionage thriller with a deepthinking gourmand at the center. Not unlike the recently departed Hannibal, he’s given to cryptic observations, ranging from the personal to the biblical to those found in fortune cookies. With his cool, sardonic manner, Red is best at explaining the latest wrinkles in spycraft and mind games, such as the use of manufactured social media “chatter” to create diversions, distractions and disinformation. Can Red and Keen evade the Feds and surf out of town disguised only by a Twitter feed? I’ll never tell. Despite the presence of tactical squads and a massive siege — not to mention a couple of murky subplots at the heart of the intelligence community and beyond — I counted only one scene involving gunfire. For a thriller of this nature, that’s got to be some kind of record. • “Bones” (8 p.m., Fox, TV-14) enters its 11th season with Brennan keen to follow a case that hits close to home. “Sleepy Hollow” (9 p.m., Fox, TV-14) returns for a third season of dark doings and creepy prophecies in suburban Westchester, New York. Signs that both series have gotten a tad long in the tooth arrive on Oct. 29 when Fox offers a “Bones” meets “Sleepy Hollow” Halloween-themed crossover episode. Stunt casting is another indication that the originality tank is running near empty. Look for Betty White to join the “Bones” gang for a guest-starring stint.

DAVID GIESBRECHT / NBC

James Spader stars as Red Reddington in “The Blacklist,” returning for a third season at 9 p.m. today on NBC.

• Comic Gabriel Iglesias tries to lose weight during a crosscountry tour celebrating his fans and their favorite foods on the new series “Fluffy Breaks Even” (10 p.m., Fuse). The trick is to turn fat-burning exercises into comedy bits. He should steer clear of the concoctions whipped up on the new competition series “Sugar Showdown” (9 p.m., Cooking). • OWN has yet to create the kind of excitement that came natural to the gossipy syndicated daytime talk show hosted by its founder, Oprah Winfrey. Have programs with titles like “Death Makes Life Possible” (8:30 p.m., OWN, r) killed the buzz?

TONIGHT’S OTHER HIGHLIGHTS • The Steelers host the Ravens on NFL Football (8:25 p.m., CBS and the NFL Network). • A case takes Olivia out of town on “Scandal” (9 p.m., ABC, TV-14). • The judges descend into disagreement during a compe-

tition involving an online catalog of ready-to-wear outfits on “Project Runway” (9 p.m., Lifetime, TV-PG). • An old friend distracts Kane from a diamond-heist case on “The Player” (10 p.m., NBC, TV-14). • New charges emerge against the firm’s sibling clients on “How to Get Away With Murder” (10 p.m., ABC, TV-14).

CULT CHOICE TCM devotes the night to silent shorts and features, beginning with the 1896 fantasy “La Fee aux Choux” (8 p.m., TCM), about fairies delivering babies from the cabbage patch. This kicks off a monthlong focus on pioneering female filmmakers. Women writers and directors were prominent in the movie business through the silent era, only to recede in influence with the advent of talkies, a situation that continues to this day.

Representatives of the South Carolina Waterfowl Association served red chicken stew over rice during the Taste of Clarendon on Thursday event that was moved indoors because of heavy rain.

Taste of Clarendon event attracts more than 300 BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com

Honri Jones, left, accepts a sample of chicken salad from Tabbatha Glenn of Golden Chick during the Taste of Clarendon Thursday evening. Arlene Ham, left, learns about the quail served by Brunson’s Pharmacy by Amanda and Jamie Mathis during the Taste of Clarendon on Thursday.

The Taste of Clarendon attracted more than 300 people to the 27th-annual fundraising event of local cuisine at Weldon Auditorium on Sept. 24. The event raised an estimated $5,000, according to Jamie Mathis, one of this year’s organizers. “We were pleasantly surprised with the turnout, despite the rain and the event being moved indoors,” Mathis said. Mathis said 18 vendors set up, including several local restaurants, businesses and hometown cooks. The Taste featured everything from duck to pork loin and Tex-Mex dips to chicken salads, barbecue, shrimp and much more. Local singer Craig Varn provided the musical entertainment. Money raised at this year’s event will go toward three organizations that benefit the county or provide community service projects: Clarendon County Chamber of Commerce, Clarendon County Junior Chamber and the Junior Ambassadors of Clarendon County.

Summerton residents from left, Sandy Powell, Barbara Ann Jolon and Sheila Schmidt found a place on the bleachers where they could put their food down while sampling entries in the Taste of Clarendon on Thursday night. In the past, money raised has helped fund projects such as renovating a park and buying new playground equipment. The event started in 1987 as a black tie community fundraiser for a local art guild in the courtyard of Land, Parker & Welch law firm in downtown Manning, said Marie Land, one of its founders. “We fixed sandwiches and hors d’oeuvres, and one gentleman, Dr. Gordon Krueger, said that he was going to cook venison and chili,” Land said.

“We had no idea at the time how much of a hit that would be.” In the early 1990s, organizers started fundraising for the Harvin Clarendon County Library and its supporting organization, the Friends of the Library. Land said she thought this year’s event offered many great selections. “It was very nice; the committee did a wonderful job,” she said. “They have found a new way of doing the event, and it turned out great.”

New Zion breast cancer survivor shares story Saturday event will help raise money for research, keep others fighting the battle BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com Mary Howard was diagnosed with breast cancer twice in the last three years, going through six cycles of chemotherapy and 33 radiation treatments, all while keeping a positive outlook on life. The New Zion resident has used her upbeat attitude and strong faith to fight one of the most common cancers among American women. About one in eight women in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime, according to the American Cancer Society’s website.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Howard will be one of the many breast cancer survivors attending the fourth annual Think Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Event on Saturday. The event starts at 5 p.m. at the Manning Junior High School gym, 1101 W.J. Hamilton Road, Manning. “Think Pink” will include dinner, gospel music, a fashion show and more. The event will raise money for Clarendon County Sheriff’s Office and County Administration team for the Relay for Life of Clarendon County, according to Deputy First Class Annett Smith, organizer of the event.

Relay is an annual fundraising event for the American Cancer Society. Howard said her first diagnosis, in August 2012, came unexpectedly. She said she felt a pain in her right breast and an ultrasound and biopsy revealed that it was breast

cancer. She did not, however, break down when she heard the news. “I was more worried about what I was going to tell my family and how I would assure them that I was going to be fine,” she said. “My family

and friends have been my support system all along.” In October 2012, she started chemotherapy. Howard described the feeling as having all of the energy drained from her body.

PILOT CLUB GIVES BACK

Mary Howard keeps a positive outlook on life, and it has helped her get through two diagnoses of breast cancer in the last three years. KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY / THE SUMTER ITEM

CANCER FROM PAGE A7 “You don’t want to eat or drink; everything has a metallic taste,” she said. “After chemotherapy, I didn’t want to move. But you have to motivate yourself to get out of bed and know that God will take care of you.” She underwent two surgeries. Nine lymph nodes were removed, and she underwent chemotherapy and radiation treatments. She said she also suffered from lymphedema, a build-up of fluid in soft body tissues when the lymph system is damaged or blocked, after the lymph nodes removed. Her second diagnosis came in July when cancer was found in her left breast. She

underwent surgery, in which both of her breasts were removed. “I was alone that day, but God works in mysterious ways. About 15 minutes after I found out about my diagnosis, my pastor, Rev. Jerome McCray, gave me a call just to see how I was doing,” she said. That same day she ran into another pastor while in Turbeville, the Rev. Northern Miller, pastor of Trinity Full Gospel Church of Manning, who gave her a book about his wife, the late Dorothy R. Miller’s, struggle with the disease. “I couldn’t put the book down,” she said. “I felt a connection with her through that book, and knew that everything would be ok.” When she had her breast removed, her daughters, and

grandson were there to help her recover. “My grandson, Michael, stayed with me after surgery and helped me with everything I needed,” she said. Howard will start another cycle of chemotherapy this month. She said that she is ready for another fight with cancer and that her faith and family will help her get through it. Tickets for the Think Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Event on Saturday are $15 in advance or $20 at the door. A general sponsor table is $120, and a platinum sponsor table is $250. Each table sits eight people. For more information, or for tickets, contact event organizer Deputy Annett Smith at (803) 460-6679 or annett. smith1@gmail.com.

Russia urges coordinated fight as airstrikes begin UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Russia followed its launch of airstrikes in Syria with a call on Wednesday for the world to unite in the fight against terrorist groups, and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told foreign ministers of world powers that his country was circulating a draft U.N. Security Council resolution to help make it happen. Secretary of State John Kerry responded by announcing that the United States is prepared to welcome Russia’s actions in Syria if they are directed at the Islamic State group and al-Qaida, and promising that the U.S.-led coalition fighting the Islamic State group in Syria would “dramatically accelerate our efforts.” And Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem told the council that his country strongly endorses Russia’s latest moves and called French and other airstrikes in Syria that aren’t coordinated with his government a “blatant contravention” of international law. Foreign Minister Javad Zarif of Iran, Syria’s closest ally, noted that the U.S.-led coalition was “failing to achieve its goals.” Russia spoke a day after President Barack Obama made his own pitch on countering the threat of the Islamic State and other groups to a gathering of world leaders at the United Nations. With Obama gone on Wednesday, it was the turn of Russia, which this month holds the presiden-

She said Wednesday afternoon that she’d just visited with his wife and baby. “She said she was so fortunate that she had him for that length of time,” Woodward said.

TASK FORCE FROM PAGE A1 court of “seizing control” of the legislative process. “No concept of the separation of powers allows for this to happen,” the letter says. “The constitution is clear — only the General Assembly, as representatives of the people, has the authority to legislate.” The letter also calls the new timeline “unreasonable and arbitrary,” as well as “impossible to meet.” Carl Epps, attorney for the plaintiff school districts, said the state has had enough time. “The court ruled in November 2014 that the state was not meeting its constitutional obligation to educate the children we represent,” Epps said. “Having found a constitutional violation, the state has a reasonable amount of time to cure it. It is our view that 14 months is a reasonable amount of time.” In the letter to the court, Leatherman and Lucas said the Supreme Court may exercise its constitutional authority to review the final product once the General Assembly has acted. “Our special committees will continue their work and will be prepared to present their recommendations to the General Assembly in an expedient but carefully considered fashion,” the letter said. Epps said the state did not offer an alternative after the plaintiffs filed the motion for a timeline in June. “The state rejects the timeline and indicated it is not going to follow the court’s directive,” Epps said. “The clear path for the state to avoid a constitutional crisis is to make a motion to amend or

al ministerial meeting. In the Security Council, Lavrov said Russia is ready to “forge standing channels of communication to ensure a maximally effective fight.” He listed countries with a key role to play in resolving the chaos in Syria, including Iran, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, the U.S. and even China. “What we require are collective agreed approaches backed by Security Council,” Lavrov said. Kerry said the U.S. is prepared to hold what he described as “de-confliction” talks with Russia over the two airstrike campaigns “as early as possible,” even this week. “We will ensure through precision airstrikes that ISIL do not have any sanctuary, anywhere, on the ground in Syria,” Kerry said, using an acronym for the Islamic State group.

She remembered sneaking candy to the officer when he came to her door as a child, and she called him “a special human being.” “When my husband died eight years ago, he was so sweet,” she said. “He came and sat with me.

alter the order.” In a Sept. 28 letter to Epps, Lucas called the motion a “severe disappointment” and accused the plaintiff districts of not working in good faith. “The new and unprecedented process that you asked the court to force upon the General Assembly cannot co-exist with the current task force model,” Lucas said. State Rep. Murrell Smith, RSumter, said he hopes the process can move forward.

AFGHANISTAN FROM PAGE A1 several options for gradually reducing that number during the next 15-months, said U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak about plans still under consideration. Campbell’s options all call for keeping a higher-thanplanned troop presence based on his judgment of what it would take to sustain the Afghan army and minimize the chances of losing more ground gained during more than a decade of costly U.S. combat, they said. According to U.S. officials, Campbell’s options would postpone any major cuts in troop levels this year and give him more leeway on the pace of any reductions next year. The options, officials said, include keeping as many as 8,000 troops there well into next year and maintaining several thousand troops as a counterterrorism force into 2017. The options would allow for a gradual decline in troop numbers during the coming year, depending on the security conditions in Afghanistan and the capabilities of the Afghan forces, who sustained heavy combat losses this year and last. The timing of a new decision on U.S. troop levels is unclear. Campbell is scheduled to testify to Congress next week on the security situation, including the effectiveness of Afghan security forces after a tough summer of fighting. The Taliban’s takeover of Kunduz, a city of 300,000, marked the militants’ first capture of a major city since the U.S. invasion ousted their government 14 years ago in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Republican critics of Obama’s approach to transitioning from wartime occupation of Afghanistan to full Afghan security control called the fall of Kunduz a predict-

“What I am concerned about is now that the Supreme Court has issued an arbitrary deadline, we may not be able to have a process that actually makes us able to craft successful legislation,” Smith said. “We need to bring a resolution to this process that has been going on for 20plus years, and the sooner we can address it and move forward as a state, the better off we are.” In response to the court’s

able consequence of Obama’s calendar-based troop reductions. The loss of Kunduz may prove temporary, but it has underscored the fragility of Afghan security and hardened the view of those who favor keeping U.S. troops there beyond 2016. Speaking on CNN, Ryan Crocker, a former U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, said Wednesday the U.S. needs to maintain a long-term military presence there. He said that if the U.S. were already down to the planned embassy-based security presence of 1,000 troops, the country likely would be suffering a “complete unraveling” like in Iraq last year. As far back as March, during top-level meetings at the Camp David presidential retreat, senior administration officials were leaving the door open to a small counterterrorism force in Afghanistan in 2017. Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and the Republican-controlled Congress favor extending the U.S. military presence. Ghani has expressed worry about militants affiliated with the Islamic State group trying to gain a wider foothold in his country. Both Defense Secretary Ash Carter and Secretary of State John Kerry have suggested the importance of the U.S continuing its counterterrorism missions in Afghanistan, even into 2017. During the Camp David meetings, Kerry said the administration was concerned about reports that Islamic State militants are recruiting in Afghanistan and that some Taliban were rebranding themselves as Islamic State members. Since then, other U.S. officials have cited the Islamic State as a potentially growing threat, and the Taliban have made inroads in the southern province of Helmand.

findings in Abbeville II, Lucas formed the House Education Policy Review and Reform Task Force in January. The task force, consisting of House members, prominent educators and experts from both sides of the lawsuit, was charged with developing a plan to meet the court’s mandate. The task force, chaired by Rep. Rita Allison, R-Spartanburg, has met several times, but it is unclear when it will

present its final recommendations. Epps praised the task force for its work but said it is time to end discussions and begin implementing remedies. “It was my understanding the task force would complete its deliberations in November and that Speaker Lucas would submit a plan in the House in time to commence the 2016-17 (legislative) session, so the timeline seemed appropriate to me,” Epps said.

Sumter School District, A Minority Report

n Monday evening, a majority of the trustees of Sumter School District voted to increase the compensation and extend the contract of superintendent Frank Baker. I didn’t agree with that action and hence was compelled to cast a dissenting vote. While I am supportive of the administration, I must also be pragmatic. In my opinion, the district’s primary responsibility is to educate our children and to prepare them for meaningful participation as productive citizens in a global society. We have a plethora of schools with clean corridors and spotless cafeterias on beautiful campuses with well-groomed lawns, but unfortunately many of them are underperforming, and far too many of our students are underachievers. There is little to celebrate, congratulate or compensate until this issue is resolved. With the beginning of this new school year, there have been some wonderful indications that a shift is taking place. Just (Monday) evening we were introduced to a creative and imaginative model — Multi-Tiered

GUEST COMMENTARY System of Supports. In recent settings, the division of curriculum and instruction has unveiled a comprehensive and intense approach to learning in conjunction with the state department of education and finally, thanks to the AdvanceEd Report and much prodding, we took a progressive The Rev. Ralph leap forward toward embracing digital W. Canty Sr. learning through the establishment of an instructional technology component. While these innovations are demanding, I truly think our administrators and teachers will “man up” to the task and lead us into a new era of enlightenment that will inspire our students to new levels of excellence, thus producing a cadre of highly educated and skilled leaders to stimulate growth and development in our region.

And, while I am talking about this dedicated workforce, let me advance another thought. Our district has become a revolving door for some of the most highly qualified educators we have seen in recent years. There is hardly any public notice of it, but our retention rate is everything but outstanding; neighboring school districts in Columbia, Florence and Kershaw counties have discovered a recruitment treasure in our district. While we are not the least bit hesitant to increase the compensation of the superintendent, we are reluctant to even broach the subject of a more livable compensation for our teachers. (I will call for a report comparing our superintendent’s, board and teacher compensation with other districts. I’m sure the formers will be more equitable than the latter). I suspect that I’m alone when I express my anxiety about the finance department and the management of hundreds of millions of dollars. But, here again, with little public notice we lost, this spring, one of the most highly respected chief financial offi-

cers in this state and region. He has now been replaced, but … Finally, let me say, it is difficult to be objective when we eat at the king’s table. This board that has been elected to be the vanguard of the public’s interest, but executing the task is difficult when the chairman’s spouse has just been appointed to a district-level position, the vice chairwoman’s spouse is a campus administrator, my spouse is a staffer and nearly everyone else has been an employee of the district and most under his previous administration. How do you say “no” to the hand that feeds you? Before this action Baker’s contract was extended through 2018 when he will be in his seventies. It seemed only wise, to wait and see what progress would be made across the next few years before deciding now for an uncertain and unpredictable tomorrow. So, I voted against the action and now you know why. The Rev. Ralph W. Canty Sr. represents Area Six on the Sumter School District Board of Trustees.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR POPE’S VISIT BRINGS TO MIND BLESSINGS OF HOME This past week kept many of us glued to the TV as we watched Pope Francis. What a blessing to have such a holy man come to our country for six days. The huge crowds that greeted him renewed our faith and opened eyes to the importance of the Catholic Church in America. St. Patrick’s Cathedral that he visited was said to be the heart of New York City. This beautiful church reminded me of our beautiful historic church. St. Anne’s is also an important part of Sumter’s heart. The magnificent stained glass windows at St. Anne and

those at Temple Sinai are beautiful beyond description. They are truly works of art. We must treasure and protect our legacy. The Pope, who drew thousands of people, prayed for the healing of the handicapped, the homeless, the elderly, the prisoners and especially the poor. I am reminded of an early member of St. Anne, Timothy Tuomey, who left his entire estate to establish a hospital for the poor and needy of Sumter. The Pope’s inspirational words should motivate and change the hearts of all who heard him. COLLEEN H. YATES Sumter

In age of misinformation, newspaper media shines

ational Newspaper Week is coming up, and our theme this year is The Power of the Press. Even though there are many ways to get news now, the power of newspaper media is still significant. And important. We all have smartphones, tablets and computers. And they deliver news. But that news isn’t always true. Just last week a Facebook hoax went viral that caused thousands of people to share information that simply was not true. Likewise, several weeks ago, an app on my iPhone told me Willie Nelson was dead. I believed it for about 15 minutes. Then I started seeing notices saying this was a completely false report from a fake news site. Willie is alive and well. I actually

COMMENTARY have tickets to his show in Florence next week. These are just two examples of the real power of newspaper media — credibility. Newspapers are by far the most reliable source of news, both in print and digitally. They have professional reporters and Bill editors who work Rogers hard to see that what they print and post online through their websites and social media accounts is accurate. But newspapers offer much more than credibility. Newspapers are the most effective media watchdog — protecting the public’s right to know what their gov-

ernment is doing at the local, state and national levels. A South Carolina newspaper, The Post and Courier of Charleston, recently won a Pulitzer Prize for an important series about violence against women in our state. It took an amazing amount of research, interviewing and in-depth reporting to bring this serious issue to light. Thanks to the newspaper’s reporting, our Legislature voted to toughen South Carolina’s criminal domestic violence laws. S.C. newspapers — large and small — report on these types of major issues every day. From a school superintendent getting a huge buyout to a police shooting involving an unarmed man, newspapers deliver the news that matters to you. And newspapers remain a proven go-to media for advertisers who want

to see their cash registers ring. In this digital age, the newspaper audience has never been greater, with millions of South Carolinians reading newspaper media in print, online or via mobile devices each week. The fact is that newspaper media — whether read in print or on a screen — is a powerful tool for the Palmetto State’s communities. South Carolina’s 108 newspapers strive to inform, entertain and connect readers around the clock. And they’re always finding new ways to serve you, the reader, because you rely on The Power of the Press. Bill Rogers is the executive director of the S.C. Press Association. Editor’s note: National Newspaper Week starts Sunday and runs through Oct. 10.

CLEMSON FOOTBALL

Key matchups could decide ND game BY MANDRALLIUS ROBINSON Greenville News CLEMSON — When No. 7 Notre Dame visits Saturday night, No. 11 Clemson will not enjoy the talent advantage it exploited through its first three games. The Fighting Irish (4-0) will be just as fast, just as big, just as athletic, just as disciplined, just as deep as the Tigers (3-0). If not more. Consequently, neither team will be able to sleep-walk through any portion of the game and still expect to sprint to a victory. Neither team is expected to dominate. Thus, the game could be decided on a few individual duels. “This is one of those games that really comes down to the competitive matchups,” Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney said. “It’s just who wins the plays consistently.”

Dame’s top target could complicate operations for quarterback DeShone Kizer, who has completed 67.7 percent of his attempts this season.

CLEMSON DE LAWSON VS. NOTRE DAME LT STANLEY

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

One of the big matchups that could decide this weekend’s marquee matchup between Clemson and Notre Dame is Tigers’ DE Shaq Lawson, top, and Irish LT Ronnie Stanley.

CLEMSON CB ALEXANDER VS. NOTRE DAME WR FULLER Fuller may be Alexander’s toughest assignment since

facing Florida State’s Rashad Greene last year. Through four games this season, Fuller already has caught six touchdowns. He be-

came the first Notre Dame receiver since 1970 to record at least 100 receiving yards in each of the first three games. Shutting down Notre

The battle in the trenches could hinge on the edge. Stanley, listed at 6-foot-5, 315 pounds, is a preseason AllAmerican at left tackle. He has logged 31 starts and anchors the line that has helped Notre Dame rush for at least 200 yards in each of its first four games, despite losing starting running back Tarean Folston to a season-ending injury in the season opener. Stanley will be assigned to impede Lawson, who compiled 19 tackles, six tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks through the first three games.

Start fresh Friday Winless Gators aim for turnaround as Region VI-3A play begins vs. Manning BY MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER michaelc@theitem.com Lakewood High School senior middle linebacker Terrance Nolen has seen the improvements made by his team, but the results haven’t followed because he believes the Gators haven’t played up to their potential. “We’re actually playing as a team and finally coming together,” Nolen said despite the Gators’ 0-5 mark. Nolen is one of several LHS players who are excited about the opportunity to face their former teammate in Manning High School quarterback Jalen White as the teams open Region VI-3A play against each other on Friday at Ramsey Stadium in Manning. “Friday night should be a big game starting off our region,” he explained. “Jalen, I guess we could’ve used him (on our team), but you’re just going to have to play football regardless on Friday.” The Gators defense showed improvement last week in a 22-6 loss to Camden, stopping the Bulldogs in the red zone three times. However, seven turnovers were detrimental to

Monarchs look to put everything Citadel’s Houston together vs. region foe Lakewood to speak to TD Club BY MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER michaelc@theitem.com The Lakewood High School football team might have a bit more motivation toward obtaining its first victory of the season on Friday because of who will be quarterbacking for Manning, former Gator Jalen White. “I think they’re going to be coming for me,” the Monarchs junior said. “I try not to think too much about it, to overthink it, but I’m just taking this game as every game. There’s just going to be a little more passion to it.” However, White is not the

focus of the offense for his new team. “We’ve just got to put a full game together, both sides of the ball, FELDER not just the offense but defensively as well,” said Manning head coach Tony Felder. “(Lakewood) talks about Jalen; Jalen is just a very minute part of the offense. “We’ve got some offensive linemen that are going to be critical. If we get a push up front, our running backs have to hit the hole and, of course, the receivers are going to have to catch the ball when it comes

to them.” The Monarchs are 2-3 on the season, but the most important game of the season will be Friday as both teams open Region VI-3A play. “I think we’re taking this game as serious as any other game because you never know what can happen,” White said. “I’m hoping that’s what he’s looking at,” sophomore defensive end Devonte Felder said when asked if White is seeing the game as an opportunity to shine against his old team. “I don’t know if he’s going to be

Blue Jays clinch A.L. East BALTIMORE — The Toronto Blue Jays clinched their first AL East championship in 22 years with a 15-2 rout of Baltimore on Wednesday, bringing an appropriate conclusion to their unstoppable, 2-month run. Toronto entered the doubleheader needing only one victory to eliminate the New York Yankees and claim its first title since 1993. The suspense ended rather quickly, as Toronto built a 4-0 lead in the fourth inning before adding four unearned runs in the fifth. The remaining innings were a mere prelude to a celebration that was more than two decades in the making. There were several hundred blue-clad Toronto fans in the small crowd that gathered for the makeup of a game washed out by rain on Tuesday. Toronto’s dugout emptied at the final out and players jumped up and down in a mass huddle between the mound and the third-base line. Because there was a second game to be played, the Blue Jays opted to put off the champagne celebration until after the nightcap. After waiting this long to toast a division title, a few hours probably wasn’t going to make much of a difference. TWINS 7 INDIANS 1

COURT STRIKES DOWN POSSIBLE PAYMENTS TO COLLEGE ATHLETES A federal appeals court struck down a plan to pay college football and basketball players in a ruling that NCAA leaders believe supports their contention that the athletes are students and not professionals. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed Wednesday that the NCAA’s use of college athletes’ names, images and likenesses in video games and TV broadcasts violated antitrust laws, but vacated a judge’s decision that would have allowed schools to make deferred cash payments to athletes of up to $5,000 per year. The NCAA had appealed U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken’s 2014 decision in the so-called O’Bannon case to allow — but not require — players in the top division of college football and in Division I men’s basketball to be paid for use of their names, images and likenesses. The money would have been put in a trust fund and given to them when they left school. From wire reports

CAROLINA FOOTBALL

Mauk or no Mauk, USC’s approach won’t change BY WILLIE T. SMITH III Greenville News COLUMBIA — The University of South Carolina defense plans to keep things pretty much the same in Saturday’s football game against Missouri, despite the suspension of Tigers quarterback Maty Mauk. According to Gamecocks head coach Steve Spurrier, his replacement, freshman Drew Lock, could be as good or better. As a high school senior, Lock participated in the Elite 11 Quarterback Competition, a prestigious 5-day event that annually features top prep prospects from around the country. “They may be a little bit more of a drop-back type team with him instead of outof-the-pocket running around with their quarterback, but we’ll just have to see,” Spurrier said of Lock. “The one they are going to play now is an excellent passer from the pocket, so who knows if maybe he plays better than the guy before him? Time will tell.” Missouri announced Wednesday that Mauk and Malik Cuellar, listed as the Tigers’ second-team left tackle, had been suspended for a violation of team rules. Missouri coach Gary Pinkel had little to say about Mauk’s suspension. “Maty is going through some personal things,” he said. Lock could be a welcomed addition to the Tigers’ lineup, considering the offense’s struggles. Though it enters with a 3-1 record, Missouri is last in the Southeastern Conference in total offense, averaging 328.3 yards per game. Mauk has completed only 57 of 110 passes for 654 yards with six touchdowns and four interceptions. He has also rushed for 145 yards and a score. In limited appearances in the Ti-

MONARCHS

gers’ four games, Lock has completed 15 of 25 passes for 225 yards with one touchdown and one interception Pinkel said he is “very thankful that (Lock) has had some experience.” “I think that will help,” Pinkel said. “Generally in cases like this, first game for a start-

ing quarterback, I am more concerned about the people around him than I am about him, the offensive line playing well, the receivers getting open, making some tough catches, trying to run the football better,” Pinkel said. “That’s what will help a young quarterback.”

PREP SCHEDULE TODAY

FROM PAGE B1 kind of nervous because that’s his old team or what, but I’m hoping he’ll be alright.” Manning is allowing 30 points per game defensively and averaging 24.6 offensively. Coach Felder said White has adapted well and has done some good things, but he hopes that Friday will give his QB a reason to go out and play well. “We expect him to come in and get the ball moving,” Coach Felder said. “Hopefully that will motivate him and motivate the other kids to kind of get it done because of this game. We want him to rub off on the other kids.” The Monarchs coach was quick to point out that the Gators are better than their winless start. “They’ve got a good squad and are very athletic. Their record doesn’t indicate the type of team they have. On both sides of the ball they’ve got some athletic kids and they’re going to be very well-

flunk out. I don’t know what is happening but a lot of us are playing young players. “It is what it is, and you try to give your quarterback a game plan where he knows what’s going on and then let him go play. As coaches, you just have to let them play and see what happens.”

USC (2-2) also will be starting a freshman at quarterback: Lorenzo Nunez will start his second consecutive game. “It is interesting,” Spurrier said. “Around the country, I think more and more freshmen are playing. I don’t know if guys get disgruntled and leave or they get hurt or they

any hope of a victory. “You’re always like one block or one assignment shy,” Lakewood first-year head coach Brian Jackson said in describing what’s holding back the team from its first victory. “We’re talking all this week about making sure we do everything and have all the details down.

Terry Singleton had an 85yard fake punt run and a 60yard punt return both called back. LHS is allowing 35.6 points per game while averaging just 15.2 offensively. Senior fullback Ikeem Harper, who rushed for 125 yards last week, said he expects his team to be ready on Friday night. “We have been passing a lot,” he explained. “I feel like we’re going to come out and maybe come out with a little pass first because they don’t expect it, but we’ve been practicing a lot and

we’re going to be very balanced with our offense. “They look like a pretty good defense, but if my offensive line can make some holes then I’m going to have to make something happen with the ball,” Harper said. Jackson said the Monarchs offense is balanced, but shows multiple formations including the spread, Wing-T, wishbone and pistol. The Monarchs even throw in some trick plays now and then. “They pass the ball well, they run the ball well,” Jackson said. “They are a multiple-based offense; they run like four or five different offenses and they really don’t just stay in one. It’s something our defense has been practicing for all week and our defense has a pretty big play script for their offense to go over for them, and nothing is the same; it’s all different each play.” Nolen said the focus this week has been the start of a new season as all teams open region play with a perfect record. “Right now we’re 0-0 in region play so our season starts over at 0-0,” he said. “We just need to play hard, physical and smart for a victory.”

Stewart will retire from Cup series after next year BY JENNA FRYER The Associated Press

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Three-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart announced he will retire from driving after the 2016 season during a news conference on Wednesday at Stewart-Haas Racing’s headquarters in Kannapolis, N.C.

KANNAPOLIS, N.C. — Saying it was time for a change, 3-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart announced Wednesday that he will retire from Sprint Cup racing following the 2016 season. Smiling and appearing at ease at the Stewart-Haas Racing shop in North Carolina, Stewart said the decision was “100 percent’’ his choice. “There wasn’t any pressure from anybody,’’ Stewart said. “If anything, it was the opposite. I know people

were trying to talk me out of it. It’s a scenario where everybody in their career makes the decision that it’s time for a change.’’ Stewart, who deeply loves dirt track racing, isn’t getting out of the car for good, though. “I am still going to race,’’ he said. “I am not retiring from racing, just the Sprint Cup Series.’’ Stewart, who said a year ago he wasn’t sure if he’d ever run a sprint car race again, indicated Wednesday a return to his roots is in his future. “Maybe. Probably,’’ he

said when asked if he’ll get back in a sprint car. His planned departure is not a surprise. Stewart will be 45 next season, hasn’t won a race in over two years and has been privately working on finding a successor for the No. 14 Chevrolet all year. Clint Bowyer will replace Stewart in the No. 14 in 2017. Bowyer has been looking for a one-year deal for next season as a stopgap while Stewart runs his 18th and final Cup season. SHR also fields cars for reigning series champion Kevin Harvick, Kurt Busch and Danica Patrick.
