Child on golf cart hurt in car crash Officials urge safety when using vehicles BY JADE REYNOLDS jade@theitem.com A 1-year-old spent the night at a Columbia hospital after he was ejected from a golf cart. About 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, a 2013 four-door Chrysler col-

lided with a golf cart carrying four children ranging in age from 1 to 12, said Tonyia McGirt, public information officer for Sumter Police Department. The golf cart was traveling west on Adams Avenue, and

the wreck occurred near Lindley Avenue. The three other children were treated at Tuomey Regional Medical Center and released the same day, she said. Emergency Medical Services used an infant collar on the youngest, and the child was transferred to Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital,

said Bobby Hingst, director of Sumter County EMS. “He had road rash and swelling of the head,” said Capt. Joey Duggan with Sumter Fire Department, which also responded to the scene. “He was conscious, alert and crying, which was a good thing to see. Any time we respond and there are small

children involved, it hits home for all the firefighters.” The 1-year-old was scheduled to be released Thursday, McGirt said.

Man was missing from jail for nearly 2 weeks BY MATT BRUCE matthew@theitem.com Authorities in North Carolina captured a recently escaped prison inmate from Sumter County on Wednesday. According to an S.C. Department of Corrections bulletin posted on the state agency’s website, Cleveland County, North Carolina, authorities apprehended Hoyle Mincey MINCEY about 3 p.m. Wednesday. Mincey, a 57-year-old Tar Heel state man, broke out of Wateree River Correctional Institution on Oct. 12. His escape set off a statewide manhunt that trickled into the upper Carolinas last weekend after Mincey was spotted near Shelby, North Carolina. Authorities have yet to reveal exactly how Mincey escaped from the medium-security Rembert prison and remained unavailable Thursday to divulge much information about his capture. Records show Mincey was raised in a small town about 60 miles west of Charlotte. Media reports out of North Carolina

House Speaker pleads to 6 charges; no jail time BY MEG KINNARD The Associated Press COLUMBIA — Former South Carolina House Speaker Bobby Harrell avoided jail time but lost the House seat he has held for more than 20 years after he pleaded guilty Thursday to six campaign finance violations. Harrell’s plea deal dropped misconduct in office charges. The Republican agreed to a sixyear prison sentence that will be suspended as long as he completes three years of probation. He was also ordered to turn over about $10,000 from his campaign

Harrell also agreed to help prosecutors and investigators in any other investigations into wrongdoing involving the Legislature or other matters. Prosecutor David Pascoe didn’t specify what those investigations involve. Circuit Judge Casey Manning approved the deal. Harrell, 58, has been in the House since 1993 and speaker since 2005.

Cotton, peanut harvests look good

FROM STAFF REPORTS

Lakewood cheerleader recognized in magazine Lakewood High School’s Lindsey Barwick was recently named to the All-American Team for Inside Cheerleading Magazine, according to Athletic Director Frankie Ward. This is a huge accomplishment that has never been made at Lakewood High School. Barwick will be featured in the October issue of Inside Cheerleading Magazine along with other girls from across the United States, and she is still eligible to receive prizes.

26 arrests made in ‘Operation Blanket’ Sumter County Sheriff’s Office set up a number of checkpoints across the county Oct. 18 and Saturday for a crackdown dubbed “Operation Blanket.” The sheriff’s office issued nearly $40,000 in fines, made 26 arrests and generated 108 cases from the two-day effort. Among the arrests were 14 drug cases and 13 driving under suspension violations. This weekend’s cluster of checkpoints was the first of the year for the office. Deputies were assisted by South Carolina Highway Patrol troopers and officers from the S.C. Forestry Commission. Sumter County Sheriff Anthony Dennis said the operation stemmed from a recent influx of DUI-related wrecks he’s seen in the county.

they are picked,” he said. The National Weather Service is predicting dry weather, at least through next Wednesday, which is good news for farmers harvesting cotton. “If we can keep this next nice weather for another week, we won’t have any losses to water damage. That’s the big thing,” DeWitt said. “Once you get the cotton opened up like this, you want to pick it as soon as you can.” He said most farmers will make fourbale modules of their cotton, which will then be picked up by a gin. The gin takes the bales and separates the lint from the seed. “Most people sell their cotton through a cooperative like Carolina Cotton Growers or Staple Cotton that handle the marketing of the actual cotton,” DeWitt said. “The seed goes to be crushed for oil or for feed and that sort of thing, so the farmer gets two products once they pick the cotton.” The gins usually press the cotton tightly into 490-pound bales that are taken to a warehouse in Florence, where it is graded for quality and color and strength of fiber, DeWitt said. “Every bale gets a ticket on it signed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture,” he said. “That bale can get sold anywhere in the world.”

BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com Cotton harvesters will be a common sight in the local countryside as the cotton harvest is underway, said Clemson Extension agronomist David DeWitt. “We finally had our first of true cotton pickin’ weather,” he said. “It’s progressing nicely, and yields seem to be pretty good.” Kirby Johnson, of Mayesville Gin Co., was a little more cautious about this year’s crop. “So far, so good,” he said. “So much can happen to it from now to the time you get it out (of the fields), but it looks really good right now.” Johnson said Wednesday only about 5 percent of the cotton in the Mayesville area has been picked. “That’s why I hate to say it’s a good crop right now,” he said. “I’ve seen too many things happen.” DeWitt said most of the farmers he has talked to have been harvesting from 900 to 1,100 pounds per acre, which he called “a pretty good crop.” Most of the cotton fields have been defoliated. “The fields will look real white until

DeWitt said the peanut harvest is also underway. “It is going well,” he said. “Most of it was contracted, so price is not a problem.” Yields appear to be good, he said. “I haven’t heard any farmers complain,” DeWitt said. “Some people have had record-type yields on irrigated land on the south side of Sumter County and over Clarendon way.” Just like cotton farmers, peanut farmers are trying to get their crop in before any wet weather arrives. “Most of the fields have been flipped over now,” he said. “People are combining and trying to get that wrapped up.” DeWitt said soybean farmers are also starting their harvest. “Some of the early beans have been cut, and all the beans should be cut by Thanksgiving,” he said. Some land is now being prepared for winter wheat, he said, but he expects a down year for wheat because prices have been low. “There is a little bit of oats and barley being planted, but most people do that for their own feed crop,” DeWitt said. “Canola is an option for some people, but I am not sure how strong the market is for that. It’s kind of hard to grow something when you are not sure of a good market.”

Man stabbed during Rembert home invasion One man was stabbed during a home invasion in Rembert early Thursday morning. Sumter County deputies are investigating the incident, which happened before 1:40 a.m. in the 2700 block of North Kings Highway in Rembert. Officers responded to the home after reports of an aggravated assault and found the victim sitting on the floor with his leg wrapped. According to a news release from Sumter County Sheriff’s Office, the man told officers four black men wearing bandannas knocked on the door, and he answered it. The four alleged robbers forced their way into the home and demanded money. One of them allegedly brandished a gun during the ransacking. The victim said the men searched through the residence aggressively, turning mattresses over and cutting open furniture. After trying unsuccessfully to steal a TV in the living room, the victim said one of the robbers picked a knife up and stabbed him in the lower right leg. The suspects then fled the scene. EMS responded to the home and transported the victim to Tuomey Regional Medical Center for treatment. A resident of the home told officers the suspects stole a flat-screen TV from one of the bedrooms, reports indicated.

Planning commission considers projects BY JOE KEPLER joe@theitem.com Sumter City-County Planning Commission met Wednesday afternoon, considering four projects. • A request was made to better define the real estate, contractor and subdivision project signs that are seen across the city. Many of those signs are illegal and not permitted. City rules now allow for one subdivision/builder real estate sign per street frontage that cannot exceed 32 square feet on the property. City planning staff recommended doubling the size of the commercial project sign to 64 square feet for a residential subdivi-

sion “under construction” sign. • A representative from Farmers Telephone Co-op brought a request on behalf of the company to amend the city and county zoning ordinances that regulate cell tower height in residential areas. The ordinance mandates those towers must be under 100 feet tall, but with the amendment, there will be a possibility of a variance if it is deemed appropriate before a committee hearing. The amendment passed unanimously. • A preliminary plat approval was given to a four-lot commercial subdivision on West Wesmark Boulevard near the Wilson Hall Road intersection. The

roughly 6.77-acre area sits next to and behind Carolina Diabetes & Kidney Center. No traffic impact study has been done yet in the area, but options exist to do one if triggered in the future, and there are other options for access points to the land via Tahoe Drive to the north. • A variance was granted to a property owner wishing to subdivide an 11.4acre tract of land from his 62.5-acre parcel to create four residential lots that he wants to sell. The variance sought was the regulation of depth of residential lots, which is not to exceed 2.5 times the lot’s width. The variance was granted unanimously.

OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — The mother of the gunman who carried out the deadly attack on Canada’s seat of government said Thursday that she is crying for the victims of the rampage, not her son. In a brief and tear-filled telephone interview with The Associated Press, Susan Bibeau said she did not know what to say to those hurt in what authorities are calling a terrorist attack by a recent convert to Islam. “Can you ever explain something like this?” she said. “We are sorry.” In a separate email to the AP expressing horror and sadness at what happened, Bibeau said that her son seemed lost and “did not fit in,” and that she hadn’t seen him for more than five years before they spoke over lunch last week. Investigators similarly offered little information about the gunman, 32-year-old petty criminal Michael Zehaf-Bibeau.

Authorities said he killed a soldier standing guard at Canada’s tomb of the unknown Wednesday, then stormed the nearby Parliament building, where he was shot to death. It was Canada’s second deadly attack in three days by a recent convert to Islam and raised fears that the country is suffering reprisals for joining the U.S.-led air campaign against Islamic extremists in Iraq and Syria. Prime Minister Stephen Harper linked both episodes to the “savagery” of radical ideologies abroad. Canadian police said Thursday that Zehaf-Bibeau was the lone gunman. His mother, who has homes in Montreal and Ottawa, said she was devastated for the victims of the attack. “If I’m crying, it’s for the people,” she said, struggling to hold back tears. “Not for my son.”

‘Goofy’ dinosaur blends Barney and Jar Jar Binks BY SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer WASHINGTON — Nearly 50 years ago, scientists found bones of two large, powerful dinosaur arms in Mongolia and figured they had discovered a fearsome critter with killer claws. Now scientists have found the rest of the dinosaur and have new descriptions for it: goofy and weird. The beast probably lumbered along on two legs like a cross between TV dinosaur Barney and Jar Jar Binks of Star Wars fame. It was 16 feet tall and 36 feet long, weighing seven tons, with a duckbill on its head and a hump-like sail on its back. Throw in those killer claws, tufts of feathers here and there, and no teeth — and try not to snicker. And if that’s not enough, it ate like a giant vacuum cleaner. That’s Deinocheirus mirificus, which means “terrible hands that look peculiar.” It is newly reimagined after a full skeleton was found in Mongolia and described in a paper released Wednesday by the journal Nature. Some 70 million years old, it’s an ances-

tral relative of the modern ostrich and belongs to the dinosaur family often called ostrich dinosaurs. “Deinocheirus turned out to be one of the weirdest dinosaurs beyond our imagination,” study lead author Yuong-Nam Lee, director of the Geological Museum in Daejeon, South Korea, said in an email. When scientists in 1965 found the first forearm bones — nearly 8 feet long — many of them envisioned “a creature that would strike terror in people,” said University of Maryland dinosaur expert Thomas Holtz Jr., who wasn’t part of the study. “Now it’s a creature that would strike bemusement, amazement.” And yes, he said, “it’s pretty goofy.” The find is tremendous but is a cautionary tale about jumping to conclusions without enough evidence, said University of Chicago dinosaur expert Paul Sereno, who wasn’t part of the discovery. It also reminds us that evolution isn’t always what we think, Sereno said. “This is evolution in a dinosaur — not a mammal — world,” Sereno said in an

Now you want to get really big and suck up lots of soft vegetation. In the end, you look like a goofy Michelin ostrich with fuzz and a tail — not a cow.” Lee figures the tilted wide hips and massive feet show that Deinocheirus was a slow mover and probably grew so big to escape from being regularly feasted on by bigger dinosaurs. It had a beak that could eat plants, but it also had a massive tongue that created suction for vacuuming up food

Massive cheating scandal at UNC involved athletes (AFAM) department from 1993 to 2011. The UNC case stands out among academic scandals at Harvard, Duke and the Naval Academy, said Howard Gardner, a professor at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education who studies cheating. “I think the existence of fake classes and automatic grades — you might say an athlete track, where essentially you might as well not have the university at all — I think that’s pretty extreme. I hope it’s pretty extreme,” he said. North Carolina athletic director Bubba Cunningham wouldn’t speculate on any possible sanctions. “We’ll work with the NCAA and work through the report with them as part of our ongoing investigation,” Cunningham said. “That’s going to take some time.” The scandal reached back to the final years of legendary men’s basketball coach Dean Smith’s tenure, as well as John Swofford’s stint as athletic director before becoming Atlantic Coast Conference commissioner.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Bogus classes and automatic As and Bs are at the heart of a cheating scandal at University of North Carolina that lasted nearly two decades, encompassing about 3,100 students — nearly half of them athletes. At least nine university employees were fired or under disciplinary review, and the question now becomes what, if anything, the NCAA will do next. Penalties could range from fewer scholarships to vacated wins. Most of the athletes were football players or members of the school’s cherished basketball program, which won three of its five national titles during the scandal (1993, 2005, 2009). Many at the university hoped the eight-month investigation by former U.S. Justice Department official Kenneth Wainstein would bring some closure. Instead, it found more academic fraud than previous investigations by the NCAA and the school, exposing a “shadow curriculum” run within the former African and Afro-American Studies

According to WSOCTV, a K-9 team was involved in the apprehension, during which Mincey suffered at least one dog bite and was hospitalized. This month’s escape was nothing new for Mincey, as records show he attempted to escape from state custody at least five times in North Carolina by the time he was 25. When he broke out of Wateree River, Mincey was in the midst of serving an 8-year prison stint that stemmed from a June 2008 burglary conviction in the Upstate. According to offender documents from the N.C. Department of Public Safety and S.C. Law Enforcement Division, Mincey spent much of his adult life in and out of a slew of prisons across the Carolinas. His life of crime appears to extend back to 1973. North Carolina appeals court documents show a judge deemed him to be a “habitual felon” during a ruling in 2011. His background includes several breaking and entering and car break-in convictions in both states.

HARRELL FROM PAGE A1 Prosecutors said he improperly used campaign money to pay for flights on his private plane. Harrell didn’t talk to reporters after his sentencing but released a statement saying he disagrees with prosecutors that his flights were not state or campaign business. Harrell said he pleaded

Duggan said. “A lot of times, the outcome is not so good. We hate to see anybody hurt, but sometimes you can use situations like this to be able to educate the public.” Typically they may see only five such wrecks a year throughout the city and county, he said. “What it comes back to from a safety standpoint is, people need to be familiar with state and city laws,” Hingst said. “Only licensed drivers should be operating golf carts for them to be on the roadway. They have to have a permit with the city of Sumter, and the golf cart has to have insurance on it.” Like Duggan, Hingst said EMS doesn’t routinely respond to such wrecks. “It’s not a huge problem,” he said. “This is the first one this year that we’ve responded to. I do routinely see children operating them in yards, (and) you absolutely need proper training to operate those and to be supervised by an adult.” Many places that sell such vehicles will review safety precautions and options before the golf carts are purchased. “We go over a few things like if it’s lifted up, there is more of a hazard of it flipping over, watching your speed, and no small children driving,” said Shane Mamore with East Coast Scooters. “We suggest 16 and older. You can install seatbelts on them. Once they’re lifted, they are more unstable, so we put bigger shocks on them so they don’t flex so much in the turns and bigger, wider tires. We try to warn everybody. We drive them around. We try to give customers what they want and explain the differences.”

IT’S THE LAW Under the S.C. Code of Laws, golf carts may be driven on secondary roads

guilty because he and his family couldn’t handle fighting the charges for up to two more years. “I have agreed to this today to end what has been a two-year nightmare. This has been incredibly hard on my family and me, and it is time for it to end,” Harrell said, concluding his statement by saying he and his wife will continue to look for ways to help

SAFETY TIPS While golf carts are no longer limited to the course, they are still not toys, states the Children’s Trust of South Carolina. The organization’s website, scchildren.org, offers the following pointers. • Golf carts should only be driven by licensed drivers or if an adult is present. • Drivers should read all directions and safety rules posted on the golf cart before operating it. • Obey all basic driving etiquette, and obey all vehicle traffic laws and rules of the road. • Equip golf carts with seatbelts and use them every time you use the vehicle. • Follow guidelines for the number of passengers. • Keep hands and feet inside the golf cart at all times. • Do not allow anyone to ride standing in the vehicle or on the back platform of the vehicle. • Always use correct hand signals. • Drive straight up and down slopes to reduce the risk of passenger ejections or rollover. • Avoid excessive speed, sudden starts or stops and fast turns.

or roads where the speed limit is 35 miles per hour or less. So they are not allowed on U.S. primary roadways such as Broad Street, Guignard Drive, Bultman Drive and Lafayette Drive and S.C. primary roadways such as Liberty Street, Alice Drive and Pinewood Road, McGirt said. Other restrictions include: • The driver must have in his or her possession a permit for the cart issued by the state Department of Motor Vehicles, a valid S.C. driver’s license and proof of liability insurance; • The permit must be renewed every five years or earlier if the address of the owner changes;

South Carolina. Harrell suspended himself from the speaker’s office last month, a day after a Richland County grand jury indicted him on nine counts. As part of his plea deal, Harrell agreed to not seek office for at least three years. He was running for re-election against a Democrat and a thirdparty candidate, and it wasn’t immedi-

• The cart must stay within four miles of the owner’s residence; and • It must be driven during daylight hours. “I’ve seen golf carts on the road at night with no lights and children driving them,” said Mayor Joe McElveen. “I just think that’s a recipe for disaster. (So) I do see people driving carts in a way that violates the law, and that concerns me greatly. No fatalities have happened yet, but that doesn’t mean they won’t. I know the police try to enforce the laws, but they can’t be everywhere. People in Sumter are law-abiding. Maybe we need to do a better job of letting them know what the law is.” State law does not prevent local governments from adopting tougher ordinances regarding the operations of low-speed vehicles, such as golf carts, within some parameters. For example, they are not permitted on the sidewalks in the city of Sumter, McElveen said. “We get a lot of calls for four-wheelers and golf carts residentially, but we don’t see them on main roadways,” said Sumter County Sheriff Anthony Dennis. “If you see them on any public highway, we encourage you to call. We do strictly enforce the law, and our crime prevention safety talks cover them as well.” While on the roadway, the golf cart driver is subject to following all traffic laws, Hingst said. “Police would like to remind drivers to respect all types of vehicles on local roadways, use caution and adhere to local and state traffic laws,” McGirt said. “Alternative vehicles like golf carts often do not have signal and brake lights. So slow down, yield the right of way where required, remember to stay within the speed limit and follow street signs and markings.” This particular wreck remains under investigation by Sumter Police Department, McGirt said.

ately clear what will happen in that race because absentee voting has begun. State election officials said they would ask Attorney General Alan Wilson for an opinion. One count alleges Harrell reimbursed himself $3,875 for flying his family and friends to Florida in March 2009 in his private plane for a high school baseball tournament.

Comic books possessed: ‘Constantine’ on NBC BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH “Constantine” (10 p.m., NBC, TV-14) becomes the third DC comic book to be adapted as a series this fall. Darker than Fox’s “Gotham” and far more violent than the CW’s “The Flash,” it follows NBC’s habit of shelving ambitious and disturbing projects (“Hannibal”) on late Friday nights. In a less-credulous age, John Constantine (Matt Ryan) might be a troubled private eye, like Humphrey Bogart in “The Maltese Falcon” or Harrison Ford in “Blade Runner.” Instead, he’s an exorcist and occult detective, a self-described master of the “dark arts.” Constantine is not a happy guy. He’s first seen undergoing electroshock treatment and submitting to dull group therapy to get over a particularly bad case. Apparently, a mistake in judgment not only got a young girl killed, but damned to hell. And you thought your job was frustrating. Demons even follow him to his asylum, possessing a girl doing her crafts project and filling the place with malevolent bugs. Talk about dark arts! A quick exorcism leaves the institution in shambles and sends Constantine on a new mission to save yet another damsel in demonic distress. Constantine may be miserable, but he has company. Look for Harold Perrineau as Manny, a guardian angel of sorts who arrives in numerous guises to point our hero in the right direction. Constantine also has a right-hand man, Chas (Charles Halford), who acts as driver and gofer when not engaging in buddy cop banter about the Ramones and the Sex Pistols. For reasons unexplained, Constantine is British, but the show is set in Atlanta. Fans of digital effects, frequent explosions, quasi-Latin

COMMENTARY

President Obama, confused bystander

ASHINGTON — The president is upset. Very upset. Frustrated and angry. Seething about the government’s handling of Ebola, said the front-page headline in The New York Times last Saturday. There’s only one problem with this pose, so obligingly transcribed for him by the Times. It’s his government. He’s president. Has been for six years. Yet Barack Obama reflexively insists on playing the shocked outsider when something goes wrong within his own administration. IRS? “It’s inexcusable, and Americans are right to be angry about it, and I am angry about it,” he thundered in May 2013 when the story broke of the agency targeting conservative groups. “I will not tolerate this kind of behavior in any agency, but especially in the IRS.” Except that within nine months, Obama had Charles Krauthammer grown far more tolerant, retroactively declaring this to be a phony scandal without “a smidgen of corruption.” Obamacare rollout? “Nobody is more frustrated by that than I am,” said an aggrieved Obama about the botching of the central element of his signature legislative achievement. “Nobody is madder than me.” Veterans Affairs scandal? Presidential Chief of Staff Denis McDonough explained: “Secretary (Eric) Shinseki said yesterday ... that he’s mad as hell and the president is madder than hell.” A nice touch — taking anger to the next level. The president himself declared: “I will not stand for it.” But since the administration itself said the problem was long-standing, indeed predating Obama, this means he had stood for it for five and a half years. The one scandal where you could credit the president with genuine anger and obliviousness involves the recent breaches of White House Secret Service protection. The Washington Post described the first lady and president as “angry and upset,” and no doubt they were. But the first Secret Service scandal — the hookers of Cartagena — evinced this from the president: “If it turns out that some of the allegations that have been made in the press are confirmed, then of course I’ll be angry.” An innovation in ostentatious distancing: future conditional indignation. These shows of calculated outrage — and thus distance — are becoming not just unconvincing but unamusing. In our system, the president is both head of state and head of government. Obama seems to enjoy the monarchial parts, but when it comes to the actual business of running government, he shows little interest and even less aptitude. His principal job, after all, is to administer the government and to get the right people to do it. (That’s why we typically send governors rather than senators to the White House.) That’s called management. Obama had never managed anything before running for the biggest management job on earth. It shows. What makes the problem

‘With events in the saddle and a sense of disorder growing — the summer border crisis, Ferguson, the rise of the Islamic State, Ebola — the nation expects from the White House not miracles but competence. At a minimum, mere presence. An observer presidency with its bewildered-bystander pose only adds to the unease.’ even more acute is that Obama represents not just the party of government but a grandiose conception of government as the prime mover of social and economic life. The very theme of his presidency is that government can and should be trusted to do great things. And therefore society should be prepared to hand over large chunks of its operations — from health care (one-sixth of the economy) to carbon regulation down to free contraception — to the central administrative state. But this presupposes a Leviathan not just benign but competent. When it then turns out that vast, faceless bureaucracies tend to be incapable, inadequate, hopelessly inefficient and often corrupt, Obama resorts to expressions of angry surprise. He must. He’s not simply protecting his own political fortunes. He’s trying to protect faith in the entitlement state by portraying its repeated failures as shocking anomalies. Unfortunately, the pretense has the opposite effect. It produces not reassurance but anxiety. Obama’s determined detachment conveys the feeling that nobody’s home. No one leading. Not even from behind. A poll conducted two weeks ago showed that 64 percent of likely voters (in competitive races) think that “things in the U.S. feel like they are out of control.” This is one degree of anxiety beyond thinking the country is on the wrong track. That’s been negative for years, and it’s a reflection of failed policies that in principle can be changed. Regaining control, on the other hand, is a far dicier proposition. With events in the saddle and a sense of disorder growing — the summer border crisis, Ferguson, the rise of the Islamic State, Ebola — the nation expects from the White House not miracles but competence. At a minimum, mere presence. An observer presidency with its bewildered-bystander pose only adds to the unease.

VOTING AGAINST SUNDAY ALCOHOL SALES WILL PROTECT OUR COMMUNITY Tuesday’s headline “Group talks up Sunday alcohol sales” was a shocker to me. Boozing had brought misery to my family for three generations. Right here in Sumter, a group wants to extend its miserable boozing to the rest of us. To make it worse, they want boozing on the day set aside by all denominations of Christianity called “The Lord’s day.” God forbid. Alcohol permanently kills brains cells. This was brought out in a meeting I attend-

ed in New Orleans. One of the doctors speaking had done an intensive study on how alcohol affects the human brain. He saw the brains of unidentified drunks who had died in the city. Autopsies showed that whole sections of their brains were gone. The doctor’s study indicated that just one jigger of whiskey can kill a million brain cells. Alcohol, whether found in beer, wine, whiskey or home brew, can alter a drinker’s behavior. Judgment is messed up. Use of alcohol can be related to traffic accidents, sexual crimes and impaired thinking. If those who want to do boozing on Sundays find a place where they can drink in the privacy of their homes instead of making drinking public, they would do us all a favor. There is an old saying, “Misery loves company.” Let them have their own company and not try to rope others in. We Jews, Catholics and Protestants have many warnings about strong drink. Many warnings are found in Proverbs about the use of alcohol. In chapter 20, the first verse, we have this advice: “Wine makes people scoff, and liquor makes them noisy; everyone who staggers with it isn’t wise.” (An American Translation) Remember our families, our military and those we love in the upcoming election. A vote of “no” will protect our community. LAURANCE H. KANNON Sumter

MIXED MESSAGE ON HEALTHY FOODS Exemptions that allow South Carolina schools to sell junk food to students at inschool fundraisers counteracts whatever message the schools might be trying to send by serving healthier food in their cafeterias and vending machines. Federal Smart Snacks in Schools regulations banned the sale of unhealthy food at fundraisers if the food would be consumed on campus during school hours. But the regulations let states grant exemptions to that rule. And last week, with S.C. Superintendent of Education Mick Zais leading the charge, the state Board of Education voted to approve the Education Department’s decision to allow the sale of unhealthy snacks at in-school fundraisers during 90 of the 180 school days each year. That means school districts could permit schools to continue to sell sausage biscuits, doughnuts, brownies and other questionable snacks to students during the school day. This is done in the name of raising money for worthy causes, such as helping pay for school improvements. But it also essentially tells students that schools aren’t really serious about promoting healthier diets. We think that if exemptions had been limited to off-campus fundraisers — selling cookie dough door-to-door — that would have been acceptable. But allowing fundraisers to hawk junk food in school hallways is self-defeating.

MEN TAKE ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE Women most often are the victims of domestic violence, and South Carolina is one of the deadliest places for women to live.

The numbers are alarming even though Alaska has just recently eclipsed our state as being No. 1 in the rate of women killed by men. For decades the ones leading the effort to save the lives of more women and end domestic violence have been women and the groups that support their cause. No more, at least in the Upstate, where a bold and exciting new initiative is drawing men to the effort to address violence against women. The campaign has a name created for this era when social media often dominates the conversation and provides a community for like-minded people to meet and engage for a common cause. #ManUPstate was launched earlier this month for what is planned as a long-term effort to get men to play a major role in preventing and ending violence against women and girls. Several nonprofit organizations have joined forces to create an awareness and educational campaign to get men involved in addressing the issue of violence against women. Alaska is a sparsely populated state where in 2012 nine women were killed by men. In the more populated South Carolina, the same homicide rate was 50 women killed by men in 2012, the latest year for numbers collected by the Violence Policy Center. South Carolina had 61 women killed by men in 2011. The national number in 2012 was 1,706 women who died at the hands of men, reported the Charleston Post and Courier. The pledge men are being asked to take, and that many already have taken, is simple: “I pledge never to commit, condone or remain silent about violence against women and children. I pledge to learn about how I can help to end violence and discrimination against women and children and to work toward creating a community where all people are valued and safe.” In conjunction with legislative efforts, there is a role for men to play in helping make South Carolina a safer place for women. #ManUPstate is a great initiative that can help challenge harmful attitudes toward women and ultimately prevent more domestic violence.

and love is highlighted. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Don’t hesitate if you see a career opportunity online. Send out your resume and do whatever it takes to get an interview. Sometimes it’s necessary to stand out in a crowd in order to get noticed. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Don’t feel limited by change when you should be using it to your advantage. By recycling, reusing and refusing to let expenses climb out of control, you’ll reach your goal and set the stage for what’s to come. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Choose adventure over something routine or familiar. Make alterations at home or to the way you live and you will get a burst of energy and enthusiasm to engage in activities that stimulate and push you to strive to reach your goals. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Put more thought into career goals and how you can make positive changes without hurting what you have worked so hard to build. Make choices based on what works best for someone you love. A move will be satisfying.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You aren’t likely to draw positive attention. Expect to face conflict and even some deception along the way. Being fully prepared with facts and figures to back you up will help you gain respect and trust.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Focus on money, health, and legal matters. An unexpected change will throw you off guard. Don’t let your emotions lead you down the wrong path. Keep life simple and your choices realistic. A united front will keep a relationship on level ground.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Walk down a different path than you have in the past, and you will see the world in a unique way. Take action and do something to give back to your community. Opportunities for growth abound,

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Get moving. Money is heading in your direction. Don’t hesitate to collect an old debt, make an insurance claim or ask for a loan. Love is in the stars, and a commitment will lead to a happy, fulfilling future.

Best yet to come?

Innovators Spurrier, Malzahn share bond BY PETE IACOBELLI The Associated Press

After career game, Charles leads Gators against 8-0 Hartsville BY MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER michaelc@theitem.com Lakewood High School senior quarterback Roderick Charles helped put his football team in a position to compete for the Region VI-3A title with a 23-22 victory over Darlington last week. Charles threw for 244 yards and two touchdowns on 10 of 16 passing. He also rushed for 213 yards and a score on 18 carries, totaling 457 yards of offense by himself. “I had a lot of confidence in my teammates and myself,” Charles said. “It was a whole team effort.” Coming off the biggest game of his career, he’ll lead the Gators when they take to the road today to face undefeated Hartsville. A win by Lakewood, which is 5-3 on the season, over 8-0 Hartsville followed by a win over Crestwood next week would put it in position to at least claim a share of its first ever region title. “We’re treating this as a region championship game,” Lakewood head coach Perry Parks said. “We lost to Marlboro County and it was a tough game, but Hartsville beat them, so if we go in there and handle business we’re right back where we need to be as far as talking about a region title here at Lakewood.” Lakewood is currently tied for second place with Marlboro at

Lakewood quarterback Roderick Charles had a career game against Darlington last week, accounting for 457 yards of total offense and had a hand in all three Gator touchdowns. Charles looks to follow that up this week with another strong performance against undefeated Hartsville who leads Region VI-3A with a 3-0 record.

Crestwood’s Ikeem Harper (1) and the rest of the Knights need a victory over Manning tonight in Dalzell to increase their chances of making the 3A state playoffs. The Monarchs, however, are also in need of a win in order to make the playoffs.

BY MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER michaelc@theitem.com The Crestwood High School football team has just one victory this season, but if it can pick up its second today, it puts itself in a very strong position to earn a spot in the 3A state playoffs. The Knights will play host to Manning, which is in desperate need of a victory to keep alive any hopes of making the playoffs, at 7:30 p.m. at Donald L.

ne of the most enjoyable parts of my tenure with The Sumter Item came when I first started. Riley Park was the home of the Sumter Braves, the low Single-A minor league team for the Atlanta Braves organization. The Braves were here from 1985 through 1990 and players such as Tom Glavine, David Justice, Jeff Blauser and Ron Gant to name a few

COLUMBIA — Auburn coach Gus Malzahn hates to finish second-best at anything, yet he’s got no choice but to yield on one thing: his friend and South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier is the better golfer. “I don’t like that, but he is,’’ said the humbled Malzahn. “He’s really SPURRIER good.’’ Spurrier and Malzahn share reputations as college football innovators, a preference for MALZAHN visors and a friendship. The two square off again this weekend when the fifthranked Tigers (5-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) host the Gamecocks (4-3, 2-3) on Saturday night. Both coaches have kept defensive coordinators awake nights trying to slow down their imaginative offensive schemes. Spurrier’s “Fun-n-Gun’’ offense at Florida won six Southeastern Conference titles and the 1996 national championship. Malzahn’s offense won Auburn the 2010 national title — he was the Tigers offensive coordinator — and brought them to an SEC title and the national championship game in his first year head coach. And the past couple of years, Spurrier and Malzahn have bonded about what

cut their teeth here before moving on to be a part of AtDennis lanta’s Brunson amazing run that started in the early ‘90s. Sumter was also the first managerial stop for some fellow named Ned

Yost. You may have heard him; he’s currently trying to lead the Kansas City Royals to a World Series title over the San Francisco Giants. Yost was here from ‘88-90, posting a 197-223 record and never having a winning season. However, he had a slew of players who played for him make it to the Major Leagues with varying degrees of success.

Was Yost responsible for their success? The vast majority of it is obviously attributed to the talent of the players, but Yost no doubt played a part in teaching them what it took to be successful at the big league level. One thing that Yost’s players say about him is he’s a “player’s manager.” Even though it was over a quarter of a

Nelson, whose team is 1-8 overall and 1-2 in Region VI. “We’ve been preparing for a big game, and the kids and coaches understand the importance of the game. I think we’ve focused on going out and executing the right way and playing a solid game.” Crestwood’s victory came over Darlington, which is tied with for fourth in the region. Should the Knights beat Manning and Darlington lose to Marlboro County today, they would have victories over the two teams below them in the standings and would clinch a spot. “We’ve got one region

win and we’re trying to get another one,” Nelson said. “Manning is standing in our way to get a win and we have to go out and play a good, solid game.” Manning is 3-5 overall, but winless in the region at 0-3 and has lost four straight contests. It needs a win today to keep its hopes alive heading into next week’s regular-season finale against Marlboro County. “Our destiny is in our hands,” Monarchs head coach Tony Felder said. “Our biggest thing is I’m trying to worry about

PREP SCHEDULE TODAY

CHARLES FROM PAGE B1 2-1. Hartsville is 3-0. Charles has played a huger role in the Gators’ success. He has completed 53 of 100 passes for 931 yards and nine TDs against four interceptions. He is also the team’s second leading rusher with 680 yards and nine TDs on 73 carries. “I think the main thing is he cares, it matters to him,” Parks said of Charles. “When things are going bad it’s so quick to point the finger at somebody else. Once you show that success and it’s bred into you as a competitor you start pointing that finger at yourself.” Lakewood has been fueled by its run game, which starts with sophomore tailback Latheron Rodgers-Anderson, who has 919 yards and eight TDs on 119 carries.

Junior Terry Singleton leads the team in receiving with 312 yards followed by senior Khafari Buffalo with 300. “This is by far his (Parks’) best football team with many dangerous athletes,” Hartsville head coach Jeff Calabrese said of the Gators to the Florence Morning News. “Offensively they are a multiple formation offense that has plenty of skill. Their QB, Roderick Charles, is very dangerous running and throwing. Latheron RogersAnderson is an outstanding young running back and then you add two great receivers in Tyshawn Johnson and Khafari Buffalo makes defending them very difficult.” The Red Foxes are led offensively by tailback Shy McPhail, one of five backs who has run for at least 250 yards this season. McPhail had 813

PLAYOFFS FROM PAGE B1 us. I think we just need to go in there and try to eliminate mistakes and turnovers and just think about ourselves.” “It’s panic time,” he said. “It’s panic time anytime you start the region with a loss; it’s time for us to win. It’s time for us to go, and in order for us to get in the playoffs, we’ve got to win out and hope some other things happen.” Each team has a stellar running back. Crestwood senior Ty’Son Williams, a University of North Carolina verbal commitment, is nearing the 1,000 yard rushing mark for the season. He has 13 rushing touchdowns and three receiving scores on the year. Manning will counter with tailback Ra’Quan Bennett, who had 315 yards rushing two weeks ago in a 21-20 loss to Darlington. “Both teams have key running backs, but I hope that ours does a little bit better,” Nelson said. “It’s going to be kind of tough to keep (Bennett) contained; it’s going to take a total team effort because he’s a good back.”

yards and 13 scores on 100 attempts. Next is Aryon Dudley with 744 yards and 11 TDs on 84 touches. JC Clair (509), Brian Rivers (447) and Jalen Jacobs (250) have combined for 1,206 yards and 16 touchdowns. Quarterback Matt Lynch has thrown for 782 yards and seven TDs. Hartsville’s top receiving threat is Shrine Bowl pick Daquan Benjamin. He has 534 receiving yards and five TD catches. “They’re the No.1 team in 3A in the state according to MaxPreps(. com) and a few other people, so it’s a great program, and they’re well-coached offensively and defensively,” Parks said. “We go into the game ready to play our game, not worried about them. We can’t sit there and worry about our opponent; we’ve got to go in there and do what we do best.”

“We have to stop their running back (Ty’Son Williams),” Felder said. “Our defense has to step it up, and our special teams have to play really well. They’ve got a premiere running back that’s committed to North Carolina so we’ve got to stop him. If we can do all the other things I think that will take care of itself.” Each team has also had to deal with both youth and injuries. Manning will be without two starters on its offensive line, while Crestwood could be without three starters, one of them possible being leading tackler Chris Rembert. Felder said his team has to limit its mistakes. “Turnovers have really hindered us this season,” Felder explained. “We just have to be on our A game. That should already be the case this late in the season, but we haven’t been able to find a way to do that consistently. “Any time you get something good going something bad happens and that kind of snowballs,” he said. “We’re young and we’ve had some injuries at some key spots, so we’ve got to overcome a lot of that.”

Braves name Hart president of baseball operations ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves have named John Hart as president of baseball operations. Hart was hired as interim general manager on Sept. 22 and will also continue to serve in that role. It’s unclear if Hart’s new title means the team no longer will seek a full-time replacement for Frank Wren, the former HART general manager. Wren was fired last month following a disappointing finish this season. Team president John Schuerholz announced Thursday the 66-year-old Hart has agreed to a three-year contract that will continue through the team’s first season at its new stadium in Cobb County. Hart, the former general manager for the Rangers and Indians, joined the Braves last year as a senior adviser. COMPTON AMONG LEADERS AT SEA ISLAND

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — Erik Compton made two quick birdies in the morning chill and wound up with a 5-under 65. He was among three

BOND FROM PAGE B1 they do better than most in the game. “I think these are two of the friendliest staffs in the SEC,’’ Spurrier said. That closeness will be tested this week as both teams try and keep on track for their goals. For Auburn, it’s a shot to win the powerful SEC West and remain in the mix for the inaugural fourteam College Football Playoff. Spurrier and the Gamecocks had similar aspirations when the year began until fourth-quarter collapses in losses to Missouri and Kentucky in their past two league contests. Spurrier said it’s always difficult to face a friend on the opposite sidelines like Malzahn. And the two share much more than an affinity for vi-

players tied for the early lead Thursday in the McGladrey Classic. Compton has some history in these parts. He played in an SEC Championship at Sea Island while at Georgia, and he was on the 2001 Walker Cup team at nearby Ocean Forest. Now he is 34 and still looking for his first win, though Compton says he didn’t realize 13 years ago the “hurdles’’ he would face. By hurdles, he is talking about a second heart transplant in 2008 in which he nearly died. Bishopville native Tommy Gainey is two shots off the lead at three under. KORDA LEADS BLUE BAY LPGA

HAINAN ISLAND, China — Jessica Korda birdied five of the first eight holes Thursday and finished with a 6-under 66 to take the first-round lead in the Blue Bay LPGA. The American, a two-time winner this season, birdied the first three holes and added birdies on No. 6, 8 and 14 in her bogey-free round in the inaugural event at Jian Lake Blue Bay.

sors. “I think most all of us coaches that are offensive coaches that call the plays, we sort of all like each other,’’ he said. “We have so much in common.’’ Like taste in defensive coordinators. Auburn’s secondyear coordinator Ellis Johnson spent four seasons (200811) under Spurrier turning the Gamecocks into one of the country’s top defenses. After a disastrous 0-12 season as Southern Miss’ head coach in 2012, Johnson joined Malzahn’s Tigers. Johnson groomed current South Carolina defensive coordinator to take over that role when he left for Southern Miss. “I just think it’s harder to play against close associates, your friends,’’ Johnson said. “But after 40 years it’s getting where I can’t find a team that doesn’t have one of my good

Michelle Wie and Chinese star Shanshan Feng were a stroke back long with Brittany Lang, Lee-Anne Pace, Jodi Ewart-Shadoff and Caroline Masson.

CLEMSON TO FACE TEXAS A&M IN 2018, ’19

CLEMCON — Clemson and Texas A&M have agreed to a two-game series that will be played during the 2018 and 2019 seasons. Both schools made the announcement Thursday night. Clemson will travel to Texas A&M for a contest at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas on Sept. 8, 2018, while the Aggies will come to Clemson’s Memorial Stadium on Sept. 7, 2019. The two schools have played four times previously and Texas A&M holds the series lead 3-1. But, Clemson did win the last meeting, a 25-24 Tigers victory at Clemson in 2005 when Jad Dean kicked a 42-yard field goal with just two seconds left. Texas A&M won

Both, though, lead offenses they developed, tweaked and brought to the field fully formed to wreak havoc on opposing defense. Johnson squared off against Florida’s Spurrier while a defensive coordinator at Alabama from 1997-2000 and against the Gamecocks’ Head Ball Coach while leading Mississippi State’s defense from 2004-07. Spurrier was a master at exploiting any opening, no matter how small — just like Malzahn’s done at Auburn. “That’s the two things both of them do. They have a complete command of their offensive systems because they invented them,’’ Johnson said. Malzahn admired Spurrier’s style and attack with the

LOS ANGELES — Los Angeles Lakers guard Steve Nash has been ruled out for the season with a back injury, putting the two-time NBA MVP’s career in doubt. The Lakers and Nash announced their decision Thursday, less than a week before the start of the 40-yearold Nash’s 19th NBA season. Nash played in just 15 games last season with nerve root irritation, but had high hopes for a comeback season after several months of rehabilitation. Instead, the Canadian point guard strained his back while carrying bags several days ago. Nash and the Lakers apparently determined he couldn’t return this season. Nash won two MVP awards with the Phoenix Suns, but he has played in just 65 games since the Lakers traded four draft picks for him in 2012. His contract ends next summer. From wire reports

Gators and hoped he could carry himself in a similar manner when he became a head coach. “He’s got that air about him,’’ Malzahn said. “When you look up to somebody, you have that respect. It’s really more of a respect deal. Then you get to know somebody off the field.’’ Malzahn will sometimes bounce ideas off Spurrier, not X’s and O’s but about issues running a team, tapping into his wisdom after five decades in the game.

Spurrier admires what Malzahn has accomplished — Spurrier said this summer Auburn wouldn’t have won its latest national title without Malzahn — and how his offense has taken the game forward. Plus, it’s easy to like someone willing to plod the same ground as you. “It is sort of interesting,’’ Spurrier said. “I think we all sort of like each other a little bit more than they do because we try to do it the same way.’’

THE SUMTER ITEM

YOST FROM PAGE B1 century ago when I first met him, I can attest to that. Yost, now 59 years old, was just 33 — six years older than me — when Atlanta named him the Sumter manager. His last Major League game came in ‘85, but he played in the Braves organization in ‘86-87 before giving it up when the offer came to work in the organization as a manager. Since 99 percent of the players at low Single-A are 22 years or younger, there was a large enough age gap between Yost and his players, and the fact he was a former Major Leaguer that the respect for him was there. Yost treated his players like men in the clubhouse and on the field, but he wasn’t far removed from going through the ups and downs that come with being a baseball player on the professional level. In the many times I sat with Ned in his small office inside the clubhouse at Riley following a game, he never downgraded one of his players, either during an interview or just while we were shooting the bull. I’m sure though that he read the riot act to more than one of his players or his teams behind closed doors. Thinking about it, I suppose I was one of the first people afforded the opportunity to grade Yost’s managerial skills. Of course, being a manager in the minors is more about player development than winning games. Sure, you want to win the games, but sometimes you stay with a pitcher a batter or two longer in a situation to see if he has the moxie to get out of a difficult jam or let a right-handed hitter stay in the lineup after the opposition brought a righthander just to see how he does in that situation. Yost has been under fire for some of his “odd” decisions as the season has gone on with a lot of pundits critical of his propensity to bunt the baseball. Perhaps that comes from his years as the bullpen coach and third base coach for the Atlanta Braves. He got to watch manager Bobby Cox refuse to bunt for the most part except for pitchers. That strategy worked fine in the regular season against day-in, day-out inferior pitching, but it cost Atlanta many times over the years in the postseason against front line pitching in pressure situations. With the shutdown bullpen he has with the Royals, Yost figures if he can get a couple of runs and a respectable performance from his starting pitcher, the odds are stacked in KC’s favor. To me, that’s smart managing. One thing that has always stuck with me about Yost was the joy he has for the game. It was best demonstrated in a 1990 game against the Myrtle Beach Blue Jays. The Braves trailed by a run in the bottom of the ninth with a runner on base and Ryan Klesko, who batted .368 in his half season in Sumter, coming to the plate. Myrtle Beach manager Richie Hebner, the old Pittsburgh third baseman, came to the mound and no doubt told his pitcher to absolutely give Klesko nothing to hit. A couple of pitches later, Klesko hit a bomb way over the right field wall at Riley for the win. As Klesko circled the bases, Yost was jumping up and down like a little kid in the third base box celebrating — winning a minor league game. Here’s hoping he gets to jump up and down and celebrate again in a few days.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Kansas City’s Billy Butler hits a RBI single during the sixth inning of Wednesday’s 7-2 victory over San Francisco in Game 2 of the World Series in Kansas City, Mo.

Royals clobber Giants 7-2 to even series BY DAVE SKRETTA The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Salvador Perez shouted at Hunter Strickland, who shouted right back. The Kansas City Royals streamed from their dugout, the San Francisco Giants from their own. And for a tense moment in the sixth inning Wednesday night, Kauffman Stadium was consumed by chaos. The one thing that was clear? The World Series suddenly had some life. Perez broke open Game 2 with a tworun double in a five-run sixth, and the Royals’ cast of clutch relievers kept the Giants in check for a 7-2 victory that evened the Series and spiced things up as it shifts to San Francisco for three games. “We showed them that we have fight in us, and I think they knew that already,’’ said Billy Butler, whose RBI

single in the sixth inning gave the Royals a 3-2 lead. “But we stepped up big there as a team, and that gave us some confidence.’’ The two teams nearly came to blows Wednesday. The Royals had surged ahead on Butler’s single when Perez followed with a double off Strickland into the left-field

gap. Omar Infante then scorched a pitch into the bullpen in left, the fifth homer that Strickland had allowed to 23 postseason batters. Boiling over with anger, Strickland yelled into his glove then got into a shouting match with Perez as the big, burly catcher headed for home. Players spilled out of both dugouts, and several Royals streamed in from the outfield bullpen before the umpires finally restored order. “He started to look at me, so I asked him like, `Hey, why you look at me?’’’ Perez said. “So he was telling me, `Get out of here, whatever.’ So I don’t know. `You don’t have to treat me like that. Look at Omar. Omar hit a bomb. I didn’t hit a bomb. I hit a double.’’’ Strickland said he simply let his frustration get to him. The Royals’ dynamic trio of Kelvin Herrera, Wade Davis and Greg Holland finished off the game..

Clemson basketball lands 7-foot center from London C

lemson basketball head coach Brad Brownell landed his second commitment for the 2015 recruiting class on Tuesday in 7-foot center Legend Robertin, a native of London who attends Chipola Junior College in Marianna, Fla. Robertin actually attended Believe Prep in Rock Hill for two months before transferring to the JC last January. This will be his first season playing basketball at Chipola, leaving him three years to play at Clemson. “Coach (Richie) Riley, the newest assistant for Clemson, did a great job of forming a relationship,” Chipola head coach Patrick Blake said. “Coach Brownell came down as well to visit with Legend, and they just hit it off right away. “There were a lot of schools showing interest from Pittsburgh to Oklahoma State to Alabama to Tennessee. He had a long list of schools.” Robertin has not taken any official visits yet, and he probably won’t visit Clemson until after the season, according to Blake. Robertin ran track until he was 16 or 17 years old and has only been playing basketball for the last 2 1/2 years. Blake said he has plenty of natural skills that can be developed in the years to come. Blake said Robertin also is an excellent student and will have no trouble from an academic standpoint with the transfer to Clemson. Tevin Mack, a 6-5 player from Dreher High School in Columbia, made his final official visit over the weekend to South Carolina. He’s also been to Georgia, Virginia Commonwealth, Clemson and Connecticut. PJ Dozier, a 6-6 player from Spring Valley High in Columbia, made his official visit to Georgetown over the weekend. Dozier also has been to Michigan and North Carolina and still has USC and Louisville to come. Dozier’s father and head coach, Perry Dozier, said USC’s coaching staff is in

daily contact, much of it in person watching Dozier work out or practice. “They’ve done their job,” Dozier said of USC. When a decision is made, Dozier said the plan is to announce it on one of the ESPN outlets in Charlotte, though those details have not been finalized.

FOOTBALL CLEMSON AND USC Dillon High junior quarterback Avery McCall is having a fabulous season. Going into today’s game, McCall has completed 76 percent of his passes for 1,505 yards, 20 touchdowns and only one interception. McCall picked up an offer from Old Dominion last week to go along with earlier ones from USC, Clemson, UNC, Tennessee, Louisiana State, Ohio State, North Carolina State and Duke. However, the two instate programs don’t appear to be all that excited about McCall right now. Clemson has a commitment from a ‘16 QB in Zerrick Cooper, and USC is going very hard after Brandon McIlwain, and its contact with McCall hasn’t been overwhelming, according to Dillon head coach Jackie Hayes. McCall’s only game visit this season was to East Carolina. The Pirates like to throw the ball around a lot and McCall does too. “The ECU offense kind of fits me a little bit,” McCall said. As for USC and Clemson, McCall is keeping open the lines of communication despite their other interests.

Clemson has now officially offered ‘16 defensive lineman/offensive tackle Javon Kinlaw of Goose Creek High. Phil Kornblut He also has a USC offer RECRUITING and has been CORNER favoring the Gamecocks. DL Nyles Pinckney, a ‘16 prospect from Whale Branch High in Beaufort, recently visited Florida for the Louisiana State game. Pinckney does not have any favorites, but is showing interest in the Gators. Clemson and USC are two other schools that Pinckney mentioned. He visited Clemson recently and was impressed with the Tigers’ program. Pinckney has yet to visit USC, but is considering a trip to Columbia when the Gamecocks host Tennessee on Nov. 1. “USC just came to visit me at my school,” he said. “They wanted to see how I was doing and see if I was still interested in them. I like USC. They always have good defensive linemen coming out of there and they have my major. I want to study international business and they have a really good school for that.” Pinckney has offers from Clemson, USC, Florida State, Florida, Georgia Tech, UNC, Miami and UGA. Wide receiver Samuel Denmark of Hanahan High has had a lot of exposure to Clemson in recent weeks. He made unofficial visits for the UNC and North Carolina State.

The USC victory over UGA earlier this season helped the Gamecocks find their way into the top five for junior DB

Marlon Character of Atlanta. Character has been to two games this year, and one of them was the USC-UGA game. “That visit went really good,” he said. “I was really impressed. The fans there are crazy. I didn’t think they could win and was kind of happy they did.” Character said he paid attention to the defense and saw where he could fit in to the Gamecocks’ defensive scheme. His other visit was to Alabama when Florida was in town. His top five are USC, UGA, Alabama, Auburn and VT. All have offered. Junior tight end Isaac Nauta of Buford, Ga., is one of the top ranked players in the country at his position and there’s a 75 percent chance he will play his college football in the Southeastern Conference. That’s because Nauta has narrowed his list to USC, UGA, Mississippi and FSU. The Gamecocks have made a very strong pitch for Nauta with recruiter GA Mangus leading the campaign. Nauta was at USC for the UGA game. Nauta said he will get back to USC for another game this season. Nauta is planning to make his decision at the end of this season. Junior linebacker Devin Bush Jr. of Pembroke Pines, Fla., trimmed his long list of offers to 15 and USC made the cut. Joining the Gamecocks on the list are UGA, UF, Louisville, Miami, UCLA, West Virginia, UNC, Tennessee, Mississippi State, Iowa, Duke, Oregon State, Rutgers and Northern Illinois.

DINE-IN

PICK-UP

Denmark was offered last week by Wake Forest and said that Notre Dame has extended a verbal offer. He visited South Bend earlier this season when the Irish hosted Michigan. USC, Clemson, NCSU, ND and Wake Forest are some of the programs showing interest.

CLEMSON Junior DL Malik Walker (6-2, 265) visited Clemson for the Louisville game and, with Grady Jarrett departing after this season, the Tigers view Walker as the perfect replacement a couple of seasons down the road. Walker holds offers from Clemson, UCLA, Tennessee, Nebraska and GT. The Tigers, Volunteers and Bruins are his three favorites with Nebraska just behind. He has been to Clemson and Georgia this season. Walker plans to return to Clemson for the USC game. Junior WR Jayson Hopper (6-1, 190) of Lexington High has caught a lot of passes this season, and Clemson’s attention as well. Hopper grew up a USC fan, but in state most of his major recruiting attention is coming from Clemson. He went to camp for three days there last summer and has been to two games this season. Hopper has an offer from Appalachian State and he visited there recently. He’s also heard from Purdue, Virginia Tech, Virginia and Kentucky.
