A state Department of Transportation engineer said Friday he expects the street will be fully open to traffic by Nov. 1. “As you can see, we are nearing the completion with construction work we are doing right now,”

he said. “We are hoping to have it open to traffic by the end of the month — pending some weather delays,” said Jeffrey Wilkes, a resident construction engineer for SCDOT.

Blacksmith and volunteer Rich Crissinger said most of the equipment in the blacksmith forge is more than 150 years old, including one anvil that was actually made in England in 1739.

The complex sustained an estimated $1.5 million in flood damage, and the company managing the property did not have the means to pay for the cleanup costs, said Barbara Jaco, vice president of Boyd Management Inc., which oversees the apartments. Many of the apartments received up to two feet of water, and areas

around the complex sustained as much as four feet, she said. On Friday, two national volunteer service organizations, consisting of 13 members of the Southern Baptist Disaster Relief and seven members of the AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps came out to the complex to begin the process of “mudding out.” The process involves removing dry-

Sumter, Shaw to study land use

FROM STAFF REPORTS

County will consider conservation bond

BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com

Sumter County Council will meet at 6 p.m. Tuesday in County Council Chambers, Sumter County Administration Building, 13 E. Canal St., to consider the adoption of a council meeting calendar and a county employee calendar, both for 2016. In other action, the council will vote on: • Second reading of an ordinance to amend the county’s code of ordinances to change the chapter regarding weeds, rank vegetation and debris on real property to include stricter penalties for violations; and • Second reading of an ordinance acknowledging and supporting the issuance of a qualified energy conservation bond, of an amount not to exceed $5.26 million, by South Carolina Jobs-Economic Development Authority. Also, council will receive a report from Sumter County Fiscal, Tax and Property Committee that will meet at 5 p.m. Tuesday in County Council Conference Room, Sumter County Administration Building, 13 E. Canal St., to discuss an energy-efficient project for Sumter County and receive an update on rain storm recovery. The committee may hold an executive session to consider two contractual matters and one legal matter.

A public meeting to kick off a joint land-use study involving the Sumter City-County Planning Commission and Shaw Air Force Base will be held from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Monday at City Centre, 21 N. Main St. “We are starting the joint land use study process, and it’s a partnership with Sumter and Shaw to ensure compatibility around the base,” said Sumter Planning Director George McGregor. “It’s a public process in which we use consultants to make sure we make the right land-use decisions around the base.” The study helps planners evaluate and make recommendations related to land compatibility in the vicinity of Shaw and the Poinsett Electronic Combat Range, according to a flier provided

by Sumter Planning Commission. The study is intended to be a community-driven, cooperative planning process involving the city, county, Shaw and other stakeholders affected. It is being directed by an appointed policy committee and a staff technical advisory committee and will be completed by a consulting team hired by the Planning Commission, according to the flier. The primary goal of the study is to promote compatibility between community development and the Air Force’s operations at Shaw and the Poinsett range, the flier said, and to minimize the negative effects of those operations on the adjacent communities. Prior studies, in 1993 for Shaw and 2002 for Poinsett range, resulted in a number of recommendations put into place to ensure ongoing compatibility and quality of life in the areas near the installations, the fliers said. The new

study will include updated land-use analyses and recommendations, and the public’s input will help inform these efforts. According to the flier, the kickoff meeting will include a brief presentation by the consulting team, a live-polling survey to receive initial public feedback and an opportunity to discuss and ask questions of the consulting team and planning commission staff. “The Monday night meeting will give an overview of what the planning process will be over the next six to 12 months,” McGregor said. “I think there will be a lot of interest.” In addition, McGregor said a survey is under development and will be distributed to stakeholders and the public to allow further public input during the planning process. For more information, call McGregor at (803) 774-1606.

Palmetto Health offers tips for a safe Halloween FROM STAFF REPORTS The candy aisles are stocked and the jack-o’-lanterns illuminated, reminding us that Halloween is just around the corner. While children eagerly plan their Halloween costumes, Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital offers parents tips for a fun but safe Halloween.

TRICK-OR-TREATING • Make sure your child eats dinner before setting out. Children will be less likely to eat too much candy and will have more energy for the fun ahead. • An adult should accompany children under age 12. • Children ages 13 to 15 should travel in groups of at least three. • Trick-or-treat in your neighborhood, where you know the neighbors. Consider going during daylight hours. • Only visit homes with decorations, outdoor lighting and porch lights illuminated. • Teach your child his or her phone number. An older child can carry a cellphone to check in while away from home, but remind the child about the

dangers of distracted walking. • Instruct children never to enter a home or apartment building unless accompanied by an adult. • Remind children never to accept rides from strangers. • Drivers should go slowly all evening. Adult Halloween party-goers should have a designated driver. • Children should be educated to obey all traffic rules.

CANDY • Insist that children show you all their goodies before they sample them. Inspect candy for tampering. Never eat fruit, unwrapped items or candy not in its original wrapper. • A few days after Halloween, put the candy out of sight and out of mind. You can ration out the treats later. • If you want to provide non-candy alternatives for trick-or-treaters, consider packages of crackers, singleserve boxes of cereal, granola bars, packaged fruit rolls, mini-boxes of raisins and single-serve bags of chips or popcorn. Non-edible treats including pencils, stickers and erasers also are good alternatives.

COSTUMES • Have children wear costumes with light, bright colors that will be clearly visible to motorists; attach reflective tape, glow sticks or glow-in-the-dark accessories to increase visibility at night. • Make sure that costumes — including wigs, masks and beards — are flame resistant, and remind children to stay away from open flames, candles and jack-o’-lanterns. • Make sure that masks do not impair vision. • Avoid costumes with big, baggy sleeves, billowing skirts, or long, dragging hems that could cause someone to trip. High-heels or oversized shoes also can cause accidents. • Make sure that swords, knives and other props are made of flexible material and do not have sharp edges. • Attach your child’s name, phone number (including area code) and address inside your child’s clothing in case the child gets separated from adults. For more information about Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital, call (803) 296-KIDS (5437) or visit PalmettoHealth. org/ChildrensHospital.

Flexibility training New study shows value of enhances your life knee replacement surgery

s a young athlete, stretching is a required part of training. But as we get older and more hurried in our daily activities, stretching tends to take a back seat, especially since exercise takes priority for its health benefits. Staying active throughout life can help us maintain independence as we age, but losing flexibility can cause a loss of mobility, making even the most simplest of daily activities difficult. The American Council on Exercise states that flexibility Missy training is Corrigan vital to any fitness program. However, flexibility isn’t just for those who are active. Even the Harvard School of Public Health says that flexibility training is just as important as exercise, especially for the aging population because it can help preserve range of motion for daily activities and exercise. Flexibility is necessary to be able to perform everyday activities. It deteriorates with age, but even a young person who has a sedentary lifestyle can lose range of motion. Over time we create posture habits that can reduce joint mobility and limit certain movements. Ligaments get shorter with a lack of use, causing joints to feel stiff. To improve a joint’s range of motion it is necessary to lengthen the muscle and the connec-

tive tissues that surround it. There are two types of stretches for flexibility training: static and dynamic. Static stretching, such as touching your toes without bouncing, takes a specific joint to an end point and holds the stretch for 15-20 seconds. Dynamic stretching, such as arm circles or leg swings, takes the joint through full range of motion with dynamic movements. Dynamic stretching is a better way to warm-up the body for a workout because it increases blood flow and body temperature, enhances joint flexibility and increases muscle elasticity. Previous studies about the benefits of stretching show mixed results. The Journal of Stretch and Conditioning Research shows that static stretching may be counterproductive. The research showed that static stretching reduced strength by 5 percent, power by 2 percent and reduced performance output by 3 percent. For weight lifters, the amount of weight lifted dropped by 8 percent after static stretching suggesting that static stretching before lifting may make the muscles weaker. Benefits of flexibility training include reduced stress and tension in muscles, improved posture and balance, reduced risk of injury and improved performance of everyday activities. Stretching should be performed daily and especially after every workout. It should never be painful, and you should continue to breathe throughout the stretch.

THE SUMTER ITEM Cadence Coker, 10, makes her ring fly during the Carolina Backcountry Harvest at Sumter County Museum on Saturday. Visitors saw a blacksmith’s forge, cabins and even an anvil dating back to the 1700s during the event.

BACKCOUNTRY FROM PAGE A1 about 3,000 nails. It takes about 15 minutes for a blacksmith to make one nail, he said. Crissinger said his goal was to get children away from computers and cellphones for about an hour because it is important for them to know their history. Suanne Richendrfer, another volunteer, said she enjoys sharing the practices of the past with children who come to the event. She said the simple task of baking bread was not as easy centuries ago. Richendrfer said the process of making bread could have taken all day back in the 1800s. After showing children how to make a dough ball, she

showed them how to knead the dough and watched as their faces turned to shock when she told them to continue kneading for 10 minutes. Families would prepare the oven and make the dough at the same time, and by the time the dough had risen, the oven was hot enough to bake, she said. Richendrfer said it took about three hours to get the fire in the brick oven started Saturday morning because of the weather. “It was a rough life,” she said. She said today’s children who are used to immediate results with modern technology should experience the difference of life at Backcountry events.

Governor says despite unknown costs, state will rebuild the top of a Columbia bridge. “My thought was — how many people couldn’t get out.” Now, as the recovery from the floods that drowned 12 South Carolinians continues, political considerations are emerging. Chief will be how to pay for repairs. There have been no official damage estimates, but the floods will likely be the costliest disaster since Hurricane Hugo in 1989, which did $13.5 billion in damage to the U.S. in inflation-adjusted dollars, most of it in South Carolina. Haley says she can’t know how it will be paid for until the damage estimate is in. She insists she will keep her promise to repair everything

Vitamin D deficiencies linked to many illnesses BY LESLIE JUSTICE, MSN, APRN, PMHCNS, BC Sumter Family Health Center Vitamin D deficiency has been reported to be a prevalent health problem with consequences beyond abnormalities in bone, calcium and phosphorus metabolism. It has been associated with certain cancers of the breast, colon and prostrate, autoimmune disorders and cardiovascular disease. In addition, it has mental health consequences as well. Insufficient levels of vitamin D have been linked to depression, cognitive impairment and the development of schizophrenia. Screening persons with psychiatric disorders for medical problems, vitamin D sufficiency is not routinely included as part of the evaluation. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in very few foods, added to others and available as a dietary supplement. It is also produced endogenously when ultraviolet rays from the sunlight strike the skin surface and trigger Vitamin D synthesis. Vitamin D obtained from sun exposure, food and supplements must undergo two hydroxylations in the body for activation. The first happens in the liver, which converts it to calcidiol, and the second occurs in the kidneys to calcitriol.

Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption in the gut and helps maintain adequate serum calcium and phosphate concentrations for the body to adequately mineralize bones. Without sufficient vitamin D, bones can become thin and brittle and are at a high risk for JUSTICE fractures. Adequate amounts of vitamin D prevent rickets in children, osteomalacia in adults and osteoporosis in older adults. Vitamin D has other important roles in the body, including cell growth modulation, neuromuscular function, immune functions, and in reducing inflammation. In order to measure, a blood sample is necessary to check serum concentration of 25(OH) D, which is the best indicator of Vitamin D status. There is considerable discussion of the concentration levels that indicate deficiency and what is adequate for bone health, mental health and optimal overall health. Based on NIH studies, a level of less than 30 nmol is associated with a Vitamin D deficiency, leading to rickets in infants and children and osteomalacia in adults. Levels 30-50 are considered inadequate for bone and overall health. Levels 50 and above are considered adequate for

overall health in healthy adults. Symptoms that may indicate presence of a vitamin D deficiency may include bone pain; fatigue; muscle weakness; irritable mood; bone fragility; cancer of the colon, prostrate or breast; and worsening of diabetes. Low levels of vitamin D increase the incidence of diabetes and hypertension, slowing metabolism with weight gain, particularly in mid-section. Risk factors include sun deprivation, indoor occupations, outdoor recreation with the use of sunscreen, homebound and elderly persons, darkerskinned individuals, obese persons and cultures that require cover-up clothing and head coverings for religious reasons. Other conditions that predispose people to vitamin D deficiency are persons with liver disease; chronic renal failure; malabsorption syndromes; cystic fibrosis; seizure medications; medications that alter vitamin D metabolism, such as glucocorticoids and some mood stabilizers; pregnancy; people of Hispanic or African descent; prolonged breast feeding; and placement in day care programs where they have less outdoor activity and sun exposure. The greater amounts of the pigment melanin in the skin reduce the skin’s ability to produce vitamin D from sunlight. This

means that persons of African ancestry with dark skin are at a higher risk than those with lighter skin. In the U.S., more than 50 percent of psychiatric inpatients have a vitamin deficiency. Several epidemiologic studies have linked low vitamin D levels to schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. Low vitamin D concentrations have been associated with impairments in cognitive functions, such as memory and orientation, executive function impairments, and Alzheimer’s disease. Other studies have linked low vitamin D levels to poor cognitive performance in depressed older adults. Know your family history. If someone in your family has had a vitamin D deficiency, you may be a higher risk. If someone in your family has had or died from colorectal cancer or breast cancer, please report to your health care provider as you are higher risk as well. People with inflammatory bowel disease and other fat malabsorption are higher risk because of their gut’s inability to absorb dietary fat. Fat malabsorption is associated with liver disease, cystic fibrosis, celiac disease, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. People who are obese have greater amounts of subcutaneous fat that sequester more of the vitamin and alter its release into

the circulation. Persons who have undergone gastric bypass surgery may become deficient over time since part of the upper small intestine where vitamin D is absorbed is bypassed and vitamin D mobilized into the serum from fat stores may not compensate over time. In 2011, the Endocrine Society issued clinical practice guidelines for vitamin D, stating 25 (OH) D levels should be above 30ng/ml to maximize the effect of this vitamin on calcium, bone and muscle metabolism. Please have yours checked if you are symptomatic by asking your health care provider to evaluate and treat you. The Behavioral Health team at Sumter Family Health Center feels that suffering is optional and a large percentage of persons with vitamin D deficiencies are out there. The only way to know is to have the blood test, be proactive and ask your health care provider to check. Treatments vary according to the level and take a minimum of eight weeks to get better. Significant improvements to a person’s well-being, depressive symptoms, irritability and fatigue are available with adequate treatment. Identifying and treating vitamin D deficiency proves beneficial and has a positive effect on psychiatric illness, as well as physical illness.

Plague spread 3,000 years earlier than 1st thought The Sope I grave in Estonia, where plague DNA was found in a tooth from this individual, the earliest evidence of plague found in Europe, is seen. The plague was spreading nearly 3,000 years before previously thought, according to findings published Thursday in the journal Cell.

BY MARIA CHENG AP Medical Writer LONDON — The plague was spreading nearly 3,000 years before previously thought, scientists said after finding traces of the disease in the teeth of ancient people — a discovery that could provide clues to how dangerous diseases evolve. To find evidence of the prehistoric infection, researchers drilled into the teeth of 101 individuals who lived in Central Asia and Europe some 2,800 to 5,000 years ago. The drilling produced a powder that the researchers examined for DNA from plague bacteria. They found it in samples from seven people. Before the study, the earliest evidence of the plague was from A.D. 540, said Simon Rasmussen of Technical University of Denmark. He and colleagues found it as early as 2,800 B.C. “We were very surprised to find it 3,000 years before it was supposed to exist,” said Rasmussen, one of the study authors. The research was published online Thursday in the journal Cell. Rasmussen said the plague they found was a different strain from the one that caused the three known pandemics, including the Black Death that swept across Medieval Europe. In contrast to later strains, including the one estimated to have wiped out about half of Europe, the Bronze Age plague revealed by the new study could not be spread by

fleas because it lacked a crucial gene. So it was probably less able to infect people over wide regions. But Rasmussen said

knowing that plague existed thousands of years earlier than had been thought might explain some unsolved historical mysteries,

including the “Plague of Athens,” a horrifying unknown epidemic that struck the Greek capital in 430 B.C. It killed up to 100,000 people during the Peloponnesian War. “People have been speculating about what this was, like was this measles or typhus, but it could well have been plague,” Rasmussen said. He said tracking how the plague evolved from being an intestinal infection to “one of the most deadly diseases ever encountered by humans” could help scientists predict the disease’s future path. “Typically, things get less virulent with time, but that’s not always the case,”

said Hendrik Poinar, a molecular evolutionary geneticist at McMaster University in Canada who was not part of the study. He noted that diseases could acquire new features — including lethality — relatively quickly. Other experts said it was unlikely that plague would ever pose as great a threat as it has in the past, especially because it is now largely treatable. “It might be that (plague) will eventually burn itself out,” said Brendan Wren, dean of the faculty of infectious and tropical diseases at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Wren said other diseases such as leprosy have also lost genes over time and are now less able to sicken people. “The evidence is that (plague) is not going to come back big time, but it’s hard to predict what the bacteria will do,” he said. “They are great survivors.”

THE SUMTER ITEM Crystal Benbow, a five-year resident of Meadowfield Apartments, looks at the waterline marked out by volunteers in her apartment. Benbow had up to two feet of water when a flood hit the complex Oct. 4.

VOLUNTEERS FROM PAGE A1 once the â&#x20AC;&#x153;mudding outâ&#x20AC;? process is complete. New flooring and interior doors will be installed, along with drywall, sinks and faucets. New cabinets and appliances that were destroyed as a result of the flood, such as refrigerators, will also be put in, she said. Jaco said she estimates residents will be able to move back in within two months. Southern Baptist Disaster Relief is part of North American Mission Board, working with churches, associations and state conventions in mobilizing volunteers to disaster areas. Volunteers from nine state conventions are working in South Carolina helping with the aftermath of the flood. Southern Baptist Disaster Relief has agreed to â&#x20AC;&#x153;mud outâ&#x20AC;? all 48 units, said Avery Fox, unit leader. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t typically work on apartment buildings, but an exception was made in this case because this was a not for-profit subsidized housing complex,â&#x20AC;? he said. Fox has been with the disaster relief team for about 11 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a ministry,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We see this as an opportunity

to show the love of Christ through our work. We want to people to know that we care about them and are here for them.â&#x20AC;? The disaster relief group working at Meadowfield included seven college students from Auburn University at Montgomery. Christian Crawford, a freshman at the college, said he decided to be a part of the group that came to the state because he wanted to help the flood victims. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to be here and

COMMENTARY

Dad was real-life Tom Hanks in Bridge of Spies Editor’s note: Alcolu resident Mary Ellen Fuller is the daughter of Cold War attorney and negotiator James B. Donovan, whose role in the trial and exchange of spies is the subject of the Steven Spielberg film Bridge of Spies. Donovan’s memoir Strangers on a Bridge, the first-hand account of the same historical events, has just been reissued by Scribner. This article first appeared on www.time.com. An extensive article also appeared recently in The Daily Mail of London — http://dailym. ai/1Gyn5lQ.

istory is remarkable. One thinks it belongs to the world for viewing and ownership, but it can be so very

personal. James B. Donovan served as general counsel of the Office of Strategic Services during World War II and presented visual evidence as the associate prosecutor of the Nuremberg Trials. He stood as the defense counsel for a Russian spy, Rudolf Mary Ellen Abel, captured in the Fuller U.S. and negotiated the spy’s exchange for the captured U-2 pilot, Francis Gary Powers, who was imprisoned in Russia. He negotiated with Fidel Castro during the Cuban missile crisis for the release of the

James Donovan is seen with John F. Kennedy. Bay of Pigs prisoners captured and imprisoned on the Isle of Palms in Cuba. At the same time, he ran for the U.S. Senate in New York against Jacob Javits. He served as president of the Board of Education in New York City during the integration busing issues and died as president of Pratt Institute during the turbulent student uprisings. He was just 53 years old. He was also my father. I lived history each day because of

my dad. He taught me to fight the good fight no matter the outcome. He loved his country, believed in the importance of public service and used the art of negotiation as his weapon of choice. He felt that a person simply wants to be respectfully heard and that it is only when you listen well that you can reach the most just results. History taught him that, and we could stand to use this weapon today. A lawyer or the average person must defend the rights of a person’s beliefs even when they do not agree with them. They should talk it out with aggressors and meet with them to find out what they truly want. Such action dissipates intractable positions rather quickly. Jim Donovan loved the lines of a 13th century Persian poet: “Out beyond ideas of wrong doings and right doings, there is a field. I will meet you there.” That is how I will always remember my father — a man of just compassion who understood the gravity of his actions, whether he was crossing Check Point Charlie in Berlin, bargaining in Cuba with Fidel Castro or helping me with my homework. He had tenacity and believed in the strength of advocacy and the law. I am humbled because I have spent years with a quiet connection to his national and world exploits. I grew up thinking all fathers had done these simple things. My father’s den in our home was an

axis for all his private discussions and late-night ruminations, where I was permitted to bring a glass of sherry to the world famous. He loved an 8-yearold’s drawing of Rudolf Abel in black and white stripes with a ball and chain yet would speak of his intelligence and how they had to connect for his defense trial. Castro would call the house at the same time as his Senate campaign manager. I traversed through varying picket lines to get to school and learned to ignore hurled shouts of “Commie Lover” with a cheery wave as my reply. All of this seemed like quite an ordinary day in our home. Several years ago, I had the honor of going to Miami to celebrate 50 years since the release of the Bay of Pigs Brigade prisoners. All these years later, they now expressed their love to me directly for my father’s belief in this effort. Individuals came up and clasped my hands, told me they loved America and what it stands for and that they prayed each day for my father. I was humbled yet again. Even though he died 45 years ago, he was still teaching me the long-lasting effects of fighting for a just cause. Recent events have brought all of these memories into focus. The world today is more strident and unbendable, so we need to revert and study important behaviors and the outcomes of past crises to bring some flexibility to our intolerance.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR FEDS AREN’T AUTHORIZED TO PAY FOR DISASTERS This letter is in reference to William Q. Brunson’s Letter Funds For Sandy Hurricane and Loyd Young’s letter for FEMA funds for South Carolina’s flooding. How soon we forget that the reason South Carolina congressmen and senators voted against that bill was because it contained millions and millions of dollars in pork barrel spending for items not having anything to do with the hurricane, such as millions for fisheries in Alaska, fleets of new automobiles for federal departments, National Park Service and the Smithsonian Museum among others. So much pork that I can’t recall all of it. They were not against Sandy relief as their letters state. Also nowhere in our Constitution is the federal government authorized to pay for disasters in any state. But then again our Constitution no longer matters; it is just a document to disregard.

Paging Sidney Blumenthal at Benghazi hearing

ASHINGTON — Who the blast is Sidney Blumenthal? Doubtless many watching Thursday’s House select committee hearing on Benghazi must have wondered the same. This obviously important person’s name was mentioned so many times, it was challenging to remember that Hillary Clinton, not he, was the one on trial, for lack of a more-accurate word. Short answer: Blumenthal is a Kathleen longtime ClinParker ton family friend and confidant going back 30 years. Nicknamed “Sid Vicious,” think of him as the Clintons’ Lee Atwater. Longer answer: Blumenthal is a former journalist who has worked for the Clinton Foundation and for Media Matters, the watchdog group that savages journalists who fail to fully grasp the Clintons’ pivotal importance to humanity’s salvation. More to the committee’s in-

COMMENTARY terest, Blumenthal was busy with Libya-related emails to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the same time he was advising business interests in Libya. His correspondence seemed to be of monumental importance to committee Chair Trey Gowdy of South Carolina, who repeatedly questioned Clinton about Blumenthal’s emails. Did she solicit them? Did she read them? Why did she respond that he should continue emailing her? None of this was remotely relevant to the alleged purpose of the hearing — to find out once and for all what happened before, during and after that terrible night in Benghazi when four Americans, including Ambassador Christopher Stevens, were killed. The real purpose was as obvious as the shine on Gowdy’s nose — to discredit Clinton both as secretary of state and as a leading presidential candidate — and, if possible, to make her head explode. All the questions about Blumenthal’s emails ultimately resulted in a rather wispy point: That he had Clinton’s personal email address

and Stevens, also a friend, did not. The only “news” to emerge from the hearing was email corroboration that Clinton knew immediately after the attacks that they were committed by terrorists and not by street demonstrators reacting to a dumb video, as initially and serially reported. This fact, now indisputable, suggests a range of explanations, from deliberate deceit to incompetence at the highest levels. Republicans have focused on a narrative that is too ghastly to imagine. One theory is that Clinton and the Obama administration didn’t want the world to know that their Libya mission had failed, so they blamed it on the anti-Islam video then in circulation. More horrid is the suggestion that Clinton purposely denied extra security to Stevens lest her role in directing our Libya policy be tarnished. People will believe what suits them. But the more probable truth concerning Benghazi is that the early story was a deception with a purpose, which was to buy time until the administration and the CIA could figure out how to manage the

crisis without exposing the intelligence agency’s operation in the area. There may be no satisfactory explanation for why Stevens wasn’t provided more security after multiple requests or why those requests never reached Clinton’s desk. She testified that security requests were handled by experts further down the line and noted she had more than 200 ambassadors in her charge. But Libya was special by virtue of Clinton’s role in molding our policy there, as was Stevens, whom Clinton handpicked to wade into the fire. She has accepted responsibility both for what happened and for what didn’t work systemically under her watch, which is about all she can do short of stepping into a live volcano. And though tropes such as “terrible things happen in terrible places” and “mistakes were made” bring no solace to the bereaved, they are nonetheless true in theaters of chaos. Speaking of which, whatever Republicans hoped to accomplish in the hearing, they fell embarrassingly short. You don’t have to like Clinton to objectively observe that the hear-

ing was little more than a prolonged reiteration of known bungling characterized by contempt-coated questions delivered with near hatred. At times, I thought lasers might suddenly burst from Ohio Republican Jim Jordan’s eyes and incinerate Clinton on the spot. At the end of a very long day, most people know what they think of Clinton, and now they know what can be known about Benghazi. Takeaways from the hearing, however, accrue to candidate Clinton’s benefit. She displayed the mental discipline of a Jedi, the physical stamina of a boxer and the patience of a basilisk, a fair imitation of which she maintained through spells of bickering among committee members. Finally, any pretense that the committee and hearing weren’t politically motivated was shattered by the Republican’s strategy itself — yet another deception with a purpose that backfired.

“There are some rainy days forecast for next week that may slow us up some.” The orange-clad denizens of construction zones may not be completely exorcised from that part of Sumter, however, so drivers shouldn’t be startled by a few apparitions of the much-loathed trafficcontrol devices in November. “After that there will be about a month of work we have to do, so you’ll see some lane changes here and there,” Wilkes said. The Lafayette Drive overpass over the railroad should be done by January 2016, Wilkes said. “We are still hoping to have the bridge open for traffic by the end of the year,” he said. “Again, it will be similar to Alice Drive; there will still be some other work going on, but people will be able to utilize the bridge.” Wilkes said the two projects received minimal damage because of the 1,000year flood. “They held up very well compared to other projects going on,” he said. The frightful sight of cones and barriers won’t be going away soon on Wedgefield Road, however. The roundabout being installed at Wedgefield and Pitts roads has been held up by the rainfall, he said. “There wasn’t any damage. It has just been too wet,” Wilkes said.

After 1st win, Knights turn attention to playoff push BY DENNIS BRUNSON dennis@theitem.com Having lifted the burden of a 12-game losing streak off of its back, the Crestwood High School varsity football team now has the opportunity to turn its attention to possibly earning a berth in the 3A state playoffs. The Knights rolled over Manning 49-28 on Friday at Ramsey Stadium in Manning. While it took much longer than wanted, CHS head coach Roosevelt Nelson said NELSON the team hasn’t languished while getting to this point. “While the wins haven’t come, we’ve been improving as the season has gone along,” said Nelson, who is in his second year at Crestwood. “You can see the progress we’ve made; we finally put it together. ”We were balanced on both sides offensively,” he added. “Defensively, I thought we played pretty well. We gave up a big play here or there, but we did a good job for the most part.” Junior quarterback Tylas Greene had a massive game for Crestwood, easily setting a school record for passing yards. Greene completed 32 of 44 passes for 336 yards and six touchdowns. Greene’s favorite target was senior Mario Carter, who had 10 catches for 120 yards and two touchdowns. “Tylas threw the ball really well,”

The season didn’t get

much better from there for the Carolina Panthers quarterback after a car accident left him hospitalized with two broken bones in his lower back. Newton said it’s amazing how much difference a year makes. A healthier Newton hopes that translates to a different result today when the Panthers host the Eagles. “It’s weird to watch

Emergency personnel respond to the scene of an accident on Saturday after a vehicle crashed into a crowd of spectators during the Oklahoma State University homecoming parade in Stillwater, Okla., causing four deaths and multiple injuries.

Oklahoma St. parade crash leaves four dead STILLWATER, Okla. — A woman suspected of driving under the influence plowed into a crowd Saturday during the Oklahoma State University homecoming parade, killing four people — including a toddler — and injuring dozens more in a collision that sent some spectators flying through the air. Stillwater police Capt. Kyle Gibbs said the woman’s Hyundai Elantra struck an unoccupied motorcycle of an officer who was working security at the parade, then went into the crowd. She was taken into custody, and Gibbs said investigators were awaiting the results of blood tests to determine if she was impaired by drugs or alcohol. Oklahoma University Medical Center and The Children’s Hospital announced in a statement Saturday night that a 2-year-old was the fourth person to die from injuries suffered in the morning crash. Five children and three adults remained hospitalized with conditions ranging from good to critical, officials said. Gibbs had said earlier that 34 people were taken to the hospital. Police said Adacia Chambers, 25, of Stillwater, was arrested on the DUI charge.

STEGMAIER TAKES 1-SHOT LEAD IN LAS VEGAS LAS VEGAS — Brett Stegmaier birdied the final hole Saturday for a 3-under 68 and a one-stroke lead in the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. Making his fifth career PGA Tour start, Stegmaier rebounded for a bogey on the par-3 17th with a 13-foot birdie putt on the par-4 18th to reach 13-under 68. The 32-year-old Morgan Hoffman was second after a 66. Jimmy Walker, former UNLV player Chad Campbell and 2011 winner Kevin Na were tied for third at 11

KNIGHTS FROM PAGE B1 Nelson said of Greene. “Mario had what we hope is a breakout game for him.” Middle linebacker Chris Rembert led the defense with 17 tackles, including five

under. Walker had a 69, Na shot 68, and Campbell 70.

KO UP 4 IN LPGA TAIWAN CHAMPIONSHIP TAIPEI, Taiwan — Lydia Ko took a four-stroke lead Saturday in the LPGA Taiwan Championship, putting the 18-year-old New Zealander in position to regain the top spot in the world ranking. Ko had four birdies in a 5-hole stretch and closed with another birdie for a 5-under 67 in windy conditions at rain-soaked Miramar. Inbee Park, the winner last year at Miramar, was tied for fourth Saturday in the South Korean event. Ko had a 13-under 203 total. South Korea’s Eun-Hee Ji, a stroke ahead after each of the first two rounds, was second after a 72. CLARENDON HALL 50 JEFFERSON DAVIS 8

solos, and had a fumble recovery. Defensive end Reggie Davis had eight tackles, including two tackles for loss. Crestwood is 1-8 on the season and is 1-3 in region play. They will play Sumter School District rival Lakewood on Friday at J. Frank

Baker Stadium. The Gators have the same records. A victory would secure at least a fourthplace finish in the region, which may or may not be enough to get either team in the playoffs. It will depend on how a couple of other regions play out.

TSA FROM PAGE B1 day, winning 25-18, 26-24. The Lady Generals trailed 24-18 in the second game before Sydney Daniel served for eight straight points to win the game and the match. Daniel had 11 assists while Anita Cookey-Gam had 12 kills, Bree Stoddard had three kills and two blocks, Josie Reed had five assists and Haley Hawkins had four kills. That set the Lady Generals up for an elimination match with Sumter County rival Wilson Hall. The Lady Barons were coming off a 2-0 loss to Porter-Gaud at the same time TSA was beating First Baptist. WH had beaten Thomas Sumter twice during the regular season by scores of 3-2 and 3-1. The Lady Generals prevailed this time, winning 2-1 by the scores of 25-22, 14-25, 25-23. “It was really a good match as both of the earlier matches were,” Herod said. “It was great that we were playing each other in a big match like this. It’s great that we have such good teams from Sumter. Both teams

played very hard.” Daniel had 20 assists and CookeyGam had 20 kills against Wilson Hall. Reed had eight assists and Hawkins had five kills. Courtney Clark had 18 kills and 10 assists for the Lady Barons, who finished with a 24-4 record. Danielle deHoll had eight kills and 13 assists, Catherine Clark had four kills and Caroline Clark and Becka Noyes had three kills and two blocks apiece. Lauren Hill had eight digs. “We talked about all we accomplished this season,” said first-year WH head coach Rip Ripley, whose team won the Region II regular-season title with an 8-0 record. “We did things that haven’t been done here in a long time. We were really undefeated during the regular season; all of our losses came in tournaments. “Still, there was a little bit of disappointment.” Ashley Hall beat Thomas Sumter the scores of 25-10, 25-9. Daniel had seven assists and Cookey-Gam had eight kills. Ashley Hall will meet Porter-Gaud for state championship on Tuesday.

MLB POSTSEASON

NEWTON FROM PAGE B1 Newton nine times to build a 45-7 lead, embarrassing the Panthers in front of a national audience on “Monday Night Football.’’ Things have changed a lot for the Panthers this year. Carolina is 5-0 and Newton is playing some of his best football behind a muchimproved offensive line. He’s on pace to be sacked a career-low 32 times and is back to being a major factor with his legs, rushing for 225 yards and three TDs. He’s improved as a passer, too, working through his progressions in the pocket and patiently distributing the ball. “I think we faced a different Cam,’’ Philadelphia coach Chip Kelly said. “He looks like he is very healthy this year, so I think the game will express itself in a different manner.’’ Kelly said he hasn’t even studied much tape from last year’s game because Newton wasn’t close to 100 percent. “He is a complete quarterback and that is the thing that is scary,’’ Kelly said. “He can beat you with his arm and with his legs.’’ THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Kansas City’s Lorenzo Cain, left, slides past Toronto catcher Russell Martin to score the pennant-clinching run in a 4-3 victory in Game 6 of the American League Championship series on Friday in Kansas City. The Royals took the series 4-2 to advance to the World Series against the New York Mets.

A tasty Royals-Mets WS set Kansas City BBQ meets N.Y. bagels in matchup of seemingly even squads BY BEN WALKER The Associated Press Yoenis Cespedes launching long drives, Lorenzo Cain dashing to catch them. Noah Syndergaard zinging 100 mph heat, Alcides Escobar trying to catch up. The pitching-rich New York Mets, boosted by Daniel Murphy’s power surge. The plucky Kansas City Royals, constantly pressuring opponents and aiming to atone for last year’s near-miss. A tasty World Series, served up with some BBQ and bagels. A dead even one, too, beginning Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium. “I opened it as a pick,’’ Johnny Avello, head oddsmaker at the Wynn Las Vegas, said Saturday. “I don’t remember doing that before in the World Series.’’ “The Mets, they have that pitching staff that’s been unbelievable in the postseason and they can set up their rotation,’’ he said. “The Royals

have the home field and all that experience. They were glad to make it there last time, and now they’re looking for the W.’’ The Royals locked in the matchup Friday night, beating Toronto 4-3 in Game 6 of

AL Championship Series. They scored the go-ahead run in the eighth inning when Cain sprinted home from first base on a single. “They seem relentless,’’ Murphy observed Saturday during a workout. “They never stop coming. What a great characteristic to have as a ballclub.’’ The Mets were waiting to see who they’d play, having swept the Cubs on Wednesday night in the NLCS. “Really good team. Really good pitching over there,’’ Escobar, MVP of the ALCS, said about the New Yorkers. Already, the clubs have made history — this is the first World Series between franchises born in the expansion-era 1960s. Maybe more on deck. Can Murphy, never a major home run threat with the Mets, extend his record by connecting in a seventh straight postseason game? How will Kendrys Morales, Escobar and KC’s contact

hitters fare against Matt Harvey, Jacob deGrom and the fresh New York aces? When will closers Jeurys Familia and Wade Davis ever give up a run? Plus, the first World Series action at Citi Field when the scene shifts for Game 3. Then Game 4 on Halloween night, followed by Game 5 in November on the day of the New York City Marathon. Plenty of stars on both sides — David Wright and Curtis Granderson for New York; Alex Gordon, Eric Hosmer and Salvador Perez for Kansas City — who fans can follow into the future. This much is certain: One team wearing blue is about to end a long drought. The Royals, who lost to San Francisco in Game 7 at home last October, haven’t won the crown since George Brett and Bret Saberhagen starred in 1985. The Mets’ most recent title came in 1986, led by Darryl Strawberry and Dwight Gooden.

Gordon, Hendrick teammates take full charge in Talladega BY JENNA FRYER The Associated Press TALLADEGA, Ala. — Jeff Gordon led a Hendrick Motorsports rout in qualifying Saturday to win the pole for his final race at Talladega Superspeedway. Gordon led teammates Kasey Kahne and Jimmie Johnson in a sweep of the top three starting spots for the race today. Dale Earnhardt Jr. qualified fifth to put the four Hendrick drivers in the first three rows at the 2.66-mile supserpseedway. It was the best outcome for Gordon and Earnnhardt, the only two Hendrick drivers still in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field. Both need strong runs — Earnhardt may actually need a victory — to advance into the third round of the playoffs. Four drivers will be cut from the Chase field following the race. Gordon is seventh in the standings, while Earnhardt is 11th in the 12-driver field. Both drivers are six-time winners at Tal-

SPY COVERAGE Eagles defensive coordinator Bill Davis used spy coverages to contain Newton, and Connor Barwin finished with 3 1/2 sacks last year. Philadelphia’s linebackers had seven of the team’s nine sacks. “You can’t just sit in a three-man rush all day and spy him,’’ Davis said. “You want to go four and five. You just have to be real disciplined that you’re blitzing as a group and people are in the spots that they’re supposed to be in, because even the blitzes are designed to have a nice little pocket that we keep him in.’’

RUSH HOUR RB DeMarco Murray surpassed 100 yards rushing for the first time with the Eagles and 20th time in his career in Monday night’s win vs. the Giants. He has 192 yards rushing in the past two games after gaining just 47 the first four weeks. Ryan Mathews still leads Philadelphia with 245 yards rushing and an average of 4.9 per carry. The versatile Darren Sproles has chipped in with 111 yards. “Our offensive line is really starting to come together as a group, and the one thing about DeMarco, he’s a downhill, physical runner that runs behind his pads,’’ Kelly said.

OLSEN THE NO. 1 TARGET Not surprisingly, tight end Greg Olsen has emerged as Newton’s favorite target with top wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin out for the season. He leads Carolina with 24 receptions for 374 yards and three TD catches. Olsen was a key to last week’s comeback victory at Seattle and caught the winning TD pass. “He’s primary in a lot of their route patterns, and he’s playing at a high level,’’ Davis said. “And (for) Cam, it is kind of his comfort zone getting it to (Olsen) and finding him. You throw it anywhere near him, he catches it.’’

Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford returns to Charlotte for the first time since suffering a season-ending torn ACL two years ago against the Panthers while a member of the St. Louis Rams. Bradford suffered the injury on Oct. 20, 2013 when he was pushed out of bounds by ex-Panthers safety Mike Mitchell.

ACC ROUNDUP

QB Sirk, Duke topple Hokies in 4th overtime BLACKSBURG, Va. — Thomas Sirk threw four touchdown passes and ran for a 2-point conversion in the fourth overtime to lift No. 23 Duke to a 45-43 win over Virginia Tech on Saturday night. Sirk hit Erich Schneider with a 25-yard TD pass SIRK on the first play of the fourth overtime, after the Hokies had scored and missed the mandatory 2-point attempt. Sirk then rolled right and cut upfield, giving the Blue Devils (6-1, 3-0 ACC) the victory in the longest game in Atlantic Coast Conference history. Virginia Tech (3-5, 1-3 ACC) lost for the fourth time in five games, and for the third time this season at home. The Hokies, getting the ball first in the fourth extra period, seemed in good shape to either win or extend it, but after Travon McMillians’s 1-yard touchdown run, Michael Brewer’s 2-point conversion pass to Isaiah Ford was broken up by Deondre Singleton just inside the goal line. The teams had traded field goals, then touchdowns, then field goals again through the first three overtimes. (25) PITTSBURGH 23 SYRACUSE 20

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Chris Blewitt kicked a 25-yard field goal as time expired to lift No. 25 Pittsburgh over Syracuse 23-30. The Panthers (6-1, 4-0 ACC) have now won four of five on the road, with their only loss at Iowa on a 57-yard field goal on the final play of the game. Syracuse (3-4, 1-2 ACC) has lost four straight.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Matt Dayes scored on two long runs to lead a dominating first quarter as North Carolina State beat Wake Forest 35-17, ending the Wolfpack’s road skid in the instate series. Dayes ran for 205 yards to lead the Wolfpack (5-2, 1-2 ACC), who ran out to a 28-0 lead before the offense sleptwalk through the rest of the afternoon against the Demon Deacons (3-5, 1-4). Still, what an opening quarter it was: four touchdowns of at least 50 yards in the first five drives, including 85- and 57-yard runs by Dayes. LOUISVILLE 17 BOSTON COLLEGE 14

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Lamar Jackson ran for a short touchdown and passed for 230 yards, and Louisville’s defense made a big stand late to preserve a 17-14 victory over Boston College. Boston College had a final chance after recovering a fumble at midfield with 2:18 remaining, but the Eagles turned it over on downs when Troy Flutie was sacked for a 4-yard loss. The play capped a dominant defensive effort for Louisville (3-4, 2-2 ACC), which recorded eight sacks, held BC to minus-14 yards rushing and just 79 overall. Louisville tied for the eighthlowest yardage allowed since 1962.

They outcoached us. I just told the team it’s completely my responsibility for not getting them ready to play. They just beat us soundly in every facet of the game, period.’’ Stacy Coley had eight catches for 54 yards for Miami (4-3, 1-2), in a game that could doom whatever chance Golden had of keeping his job much longer. There was booing and a “Fire Golden’’ chant from the sparse crowd even before the first quarter ended, and the stands — where some fights broke out — were largely empty by the midpoint of the third quarter. Swinney kept his team on the field briefly at halftime, doing so to avoid the potential for any confrontations since Miami was exiting the field in roughly the same area.

Until Saturday, the worst loss in Miami history was a 70-14 defeat to Texas A&M on Dec. 8, 1944. It was Clemson’s largest win over an FBS opponent since an 82-24 win over Wake Forest on Oct. 31, 1981. The Tigers had

33 first downs to Miami’s six, and held the Hurricanes to 91 yards — total — on their last 14 possessions. Clemson marched 82 yards in eight plays for a touchdown to open the game, Kaaya had a pass intercepted near the end zone on Miami’s ensuing drive, and whatever hope the Hurricanes had was soon gone. It was 21-0 after the first quarter, two touchdowns in the final minute of the second quarter — 8 seconds apart, the second being a 36-yard interception return by Cordrea Tankersley — made it 42-0, and the Tigers substituted liberally in the second half. “I know I hit him pretty hard,’’ Clemson’s Shaq Lawson said of the hit that knocked Kaaya from the game. “I think it was probably the best hit I’ve had since I’ve started playing football.’’ And the hits just kept on coming. A horrible day for Miami could have gotten even worse in the fourth quarter, when receiver Rashawn Scott was down and appeared to be not moving for several moments in a scene that had players from both teams kneeling in prayer. Scott eventually got to his feet, but Miami backup quarterback Malik Rosier threw an interception on the first play after the game resumed. Clemson scored on that drive to make it 58-0, and that prompted a U.S. Congressman to even announce his dismay in a tweet. “A new low for (at)CanesFootball — an absolute embarrassment for what was once a great program,’’ wrote Rep. Carlos Curbelo, a Miami graduate. “Anyone at (at)univmiami care to try to save it?’’

Tight end Leggett just catches touchdowns BY SCOTT KEEPFER Greenville News MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Just call him “Touchdown Leggett.” Clemson tight end Jordan Leggett caught a touchdown pass for a fifth consecutive game when he snagged a 34yard pass from Deshaun Watson for the Tigers’ first score of the day Saturday at Miami. He is the first tight end in Clemson history to catch at least one touchdown pass in

five consecutive games. Leggett, a junior, has six TD catches this season. “I’m excited about that; I’ve been feeling good,” Leggett said. His catch jump-started a 58-0 victory that surprised even Leggett. “We played a complete game, everybody was clicking on all cylinders,” Leggett said. “And when the backups came in they were clicking, too.” • Freshman quarterback

Kelly Bryant came on in the fourth quarter and scored two rushing touchdowns for the Tigers on runs of 59 and 10 yards, and was fairly mobbed by teammates after his long-distance dash. “It was wide open and it was like I had tunnel vision – I just saw the end zone,” Bryant said. “When one player scores, we all score. We’re like a big family.” No one was more excited for Bryant that offensive guard Eric Mac Lain.

“It was just beautiful to see that 4.4 speed getting loose,” Mac Lain said. • Cornerback Cordrea Tankersley had a 36-yard interception return that pushed Clemson’s lead to 42-0 just 34 seconds before halftime. “When I caught it, I was like, ‘I’m on my feet!’ ” Tankersley said. “Then I was like, ‘Alright, let’s score.’ ” The interception was Tankersley’s team-leading third of the season and the fifth of his career.

Arkansas wide receiver Drew Morgan (80) escapes an attempted tackle by Auburn’s Carlton Davis (18) to score a touchdown during the fourth overtime of the Razorbacks’ 54-46 victory on Saturday in Fayetteville, Ark.

Arkansas outlasts Auburn in 4 OTs FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Brandon Allen threw a 25yard touchdown pass to Drew Morgan on the first play of the fourth overtime, also converting on the 2-point conversion, to lead Arkansas to a 54-46 win over Auburn on Saturday. The win is the first for the Razorbacks (3-4, 2-2) over former offensive coordinator and current Tigers coach Gus Malzahn in three games, and it keeps Arkansas’ bowl hopes alive. Alex Collins rushed for 105 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries to lead Arkansas, topping 100 yards rushing for the fourth time in five games.

Alabama overwhelmed the 15-point underdogs from there.

Vanderbilt (3-4, 1-3 SEC) was powered by a defense that held Missouri to 188 total yards and 10 first downs. Missouri (4-4, 1-4) suffered its third straight loss. Missouri drove to the Vanderbilt 13-yard line late in the game before turning the ball over on downs with five seconds left.

MR., MRS. JIMMY MOORE

Decision to join Hollywood, Halloween religion must come perfect party combo from the heart BY KIM COOK The Associated Press

DEAR ABBY — I am a 16-year-old girl who doesn’t believe in God. Frankly, I feel uncomfortable Dear Abby when reliABIGAIL gion is VAN BUREN brought up. All my friends are firm believers of Christianity and attend Bible study, or help out with other things at their church. My parents and brothers don’t believe in God. When I say I’d like to be a Christian, my brothers make fun of me. When they do, it makes me feel ashamed of myself. I want to be a Christian because it would be nice to feel like I belong, and most Christians aren’t accepting of atheists -- especially other girls my age. They might be polite, but they’re distant. It also doesn’t help that the boy I like comes from a religious family. What should I do? Outsider in Alabama DEAR OUTSIDER — I think you should continue being true to the person you really are. Let me point out that if you’re feeling isolated now, consider what a fraud you will feel like if you join a religion and must pray to a deity you don’t believe in in order to “fit in.” While many churches promote church-related youth activities, you should explore what nonsectarian activities are available in your community. If the boy you like cares about you, he will like you even if you aren’t religious, and you will have your self-respect. It’s not easy feeling different, but sometimes it’s worth it. DEAR ABBY — We are not sure what to do about a nosy neighbor I’ll call “Myrtle.” She’s nice to talk to, but quite honestly, I suspect she must be watching us with binoculars because she told me what brand of wine we drink. When my husband

sends me flowers, she calls me to find out why. If we have a party, she calls to find out what it’s about! A few years ago, I was talking to Myrtle in front of her house and mentioned that I usually walk my dog in the morning. She responded, “Oh, I KNOW when you walk your dog.” (Is that creepy or is it me?) Abby, we have nothing to hide, but our life is none of her business. I’ve been neighborly to her, but it seems like she wants too much information about us and has no problem telling us all her business and how much she spends. She’s single and friendly with all the neighbors, as are we. I haven’t asked if they experience the same thing or if we’re the “lucky ones.” How should this be handled? Fed up in Utah DEAR FED UP — Continue to be polite to your neighbor, but when she asks questions you would rather not answer, instead of answering her directly, respond with another question: “Myrtle, why do you ask?” If she presses for an answer, without being confrontational say, “It’s personal,” and change the subject. Be sure to keep your shades drawn on windows that face her house, and when you walk your dog, take a different route. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

Need some bright ideas for a Halloween party? Look no further than the klieg lights of Hollywood. The history of fun and frightening movies is long, from early horror films like “Phantom of the Opera” and “Bride of Frankenstein” to the current “Goosebumps.” Television, too, is full of scary fare, from “The Walking Dead” to “American Horror Story.” So why not use this trove of screen images and characters to create a monstrously fun Halloween party?

Give your pumpkins personality by primping them up as film characters. Swath one in cheesecloth to be The Mummy; paint one green and hot-glue a bolt to the neck to create Frankenstein. A hockey mask will evoke Jason from the “Halloween” franchise; a black felt hat and a striped scarf bring Freddy Krueger of “Nightmare on Elm Street” to mind. For Hollywood glamour, you can spray craft pumpkins with gold, silver and black paint, and add some star-studded glitter. (www. michaels.com )

THE AMBIANCE

THE NOSH TABLE

THE MUSIC

Decorate your party space with a mix of swank and scare. Drape your faux cobwebs and mossy swags with glitter and metallic stars. Better Homes & Gardens suggests spray-painting a few Ken dolls Oscar gold; they have a how-to guide at www. bhg.com. You could use the statuettes as holders for dramatic flower arrangements like black and red roses, or go a little darker by “burying” them in black loaf pans lined with dirt or satin to resemble graves or caskets. Put silent horror flicks or YouTube clips on a big screen, set on a loop that runs throughout the party. A red carpet kicks the Hollywood vibe into high gear as your guests arrive; look for an inexpensive remnant at hardware or flooring stores.

Name your nibbles after horror-genre personalities — think Dracula; Norman Bates; Hitchcock; Stephen King; Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde; Cujo or Wes Craven. Make zombie chicken fingers to reference “The Walking Dead.” S’mores or other marshmallow-based treats reference that creepy Stay Puft Marshmallow Man from “Ghostbusters.” Rent a popcorn machine, or set up a microwave or stovetop team to have fresh, hot kernels always at the ready. Create a punch or a few mixed beverages named after scary movies or characters. Better Homes & Gardens suggests serving canapés and other finger foods using faux-vintage film reels as

That portentous drumbeat in “Jaws.” The white-knuckle theme from “The Twilight Zone.” That catchy, fingersnapping lead-in to “The Addams Family.” Evocative background music really kicks up the spooky vibe. Greg Cwik of Indiewire. com puts a few more obscure but scary scores on his list, including John Carpenter’s “The Fog,” Ennio Morricone’s “The Thing” and Philip Glass’ soundtrack for “Candyman.” Time Out New York suggests fan favorites like Warren Zevon’s “Werewolves of London,” which was used for the movie “American Psycho”; Ray Parker Jr.’s “Ghostbusters” theme song; and Mike Oldfield’s “Tubular Bells,” from “The Exorcist.”

THE DRESS CODE A costume contest can bring a little friendly competition to the party, whether you make it a general horror-film theme, or select one particular character, movie or TV show. Have an all-vampire party (from “Nosferatu” to “Twilight”), or draw inspiration from varied characters in titles like “The Exorcist,” ‘’Alien,” ‘’The X-Files” or “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”

YESTERYEAR, FROM PAGE C1 20 minutes to pass through. • Sumter High’s baseball club, under the supervision of Coach Joe Berry, has been working out earnestly this week in preparation for their season opener on April 1 with Camden High School. The Gamecocks have fine prospects this season and if the boys play together, the team should be a serious contender for the state championship. 50 YEARS AGO — 1966 Jan. 17-23 James P. Britton and Louis F. Principe have been promoted by Southern Coatings and Chemical Co.’s paint division, according to an announcement by Vice President Ross S. McKenzie. Britton has been named trade sales manager of the Southeastern Division, and Principe has been elevated to the position of sales office manager and credit manager. • Two new members of the Sumter County Board of Commissioners, replacing retiring members O.D. Harvin and Clint Brogdon, were welcomed by board members and members of the county legislative delegation at the regular monthly meeting of the board. Named to the board by the delegation for six-year terms are Hoyt Kirven Jr., Pinewood lumberman and farmer, and Sumter attorney Marion Moise. • A Sumter businessman and his firm are the subjects of a three-page illustrated article which appears in the current issue of a national industrial magazine. The article, telling of the progressive civic and business activities of J. Clarke Hughes, owner of Hughes Tire Service, appears in Goodyear GO, published monthly by The Goodyear Tire a& Rubber Company and sent to 88,000 readers throughout the nation. • Winners of the annual Youth Leadership contest sponsored by B.P.O. Elks Lodge No. 855 have been announced by Louis Principe, chairman of the Lodge’s Youth Activities Committee. First place among boys considered by the judges was awarded to John Skinner Suber, 18, a senior at Edmunds High School. Tops among the girls was Sallie Mayes Dickson, 17. She is a Manning High School senior. Second place for the boys was John Graham Kelly, 17, a Hill-

crest High School senior. Runner-up among the girls was Mary Ella Abrams, 17, a senior at Summerton High School. • Senior forward Arthur Mac Abbott is leading the Edmunds High basketball team in scoring after seven contests with an average of 16.6 points per game. The 6-1 sharp shooter, while hitting on 57 percent of his shots to lead the team in that category, had also made good on 28 of 37 free throw attempts and pulled down an average of 6.7 rebounds per game. Two other Gamecocks are averaging in double figures in the scoring department. Robbie Baird shows a mark of 13.6 points per game, while Mitch Harrington is putting them in at 11.1 points every contest. • Local businessman and civic leader W.M. Hodge is the new chairman of the Sumter County Board of Commissioners. Hodge moved up from vice-chairmanship to chairman after retirement yesterday of O.D. Harvin, who completed his term of office. The new chairman is a 48-year-old veteran of World War II, during which he served 37 months overseas with the army and moved up from private to captain. • Sumter’s boxing team came through its first workout with outside competition “just fine,” Coach Burke Watson reported. Watson and assistants Loring Baker and Maj. Leverne Griffin took the boys to Kingstree where the opposition “showed us just where our rough edges are,” Watson commented, adding “We hope to have these ironed out by next week when we enter our first tournament of the season.” • Doyle L. Cannon, Carolina Power & Light Company district manager at Sumter, is retiring. He will be succeeded by Ladson F. Owens Jr., who is being promoted from local manager at Cheraw.

Bochman will serve as city chairman of the Heart Fund campaign drive, according to Clifton G. Brown, local Heart Fund chairman. Bochman, owner and president of radio station WDXY, will be responsible for coordinating the city campaign. 25 YEARS AGO — 1990 Oct. 19-25 Clarendon County Council is promising to make a decision by Nov. 30 on building a new county hospital after Clarendon Memorial Hospital representatives expressed their frustration Thursday with the lingering issue. “We’ve had three OB/GYNs who want to come here to work in this hospital,” CMH Recovery Room nurse Patricia Brunson told council members. “But they don’t want to come into a hospital that doesn’t have enough fetal monitors for its new mothers.” • Nominations are now being accepted for the 1990 Sumter Sports Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame is sponsored by the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club and seeks to recognize outstanding achievement in the field of athletics by athletes and coaches within the Sumter area. Guest speaker at the 1990 banquet will be former New York Yankee great Bobby Richardson. • Sumter High volleyball coach Angie Watson was pleased with her team’s firstround state playoff win Thursday, but said the squad will have to maintain a high level of intensity if it hopes to continue its success. • He’s married 135 couples. He’s officiated at 150 funerals.

He’s dedicated more than 150 babies. He’s written 40 religion articles. He’s performed 235 baptisms. He’s preached about 900 sermons. It’s been a busy 13 years at First Baptist Church for Dr. Kirk L. Smith Jr. But come Nov. 15, Smith’s pastorate at First Baptist will come to an end. Smith recently announced his retirement from the Sumter church. He says he plans to devote more of his time to studying, preaching and ministry without the administrative load that goes with the pastorate. • Some local fishermen are finding that getting into the mud at what’s left of Sumter’s Second Mill Pond has been worth the mess. Last week, more than 15 inches of rain caused flooding that washed away a 40-foot section of the dam parallel to the Liberty Street bridge, letting loose a torrent of water and fish from the pond. But not all the fish are gone, pointed out Robert Turner, who’d been fishing in the emptied pool all day Friday. • Plans are well under way for the Shaw-Sumter Celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Shaw Air Force Base – known 50 years ago as Shaw Field. Many people in this area refer to this great base as Shaw Field even today, for when it was organized in 1941, it was given that designation and the term Shaw Air Force Base was not made official until 1947. At the time of its establishment in 1941, there was no separate Air Force. This department was known as the Army Air Force and Shaw Field was assigned to the Southeastern Training Command with headquarters at Maxwell Field, Alabama. • A damp, but happy Tom Lewis took a moment to survey Sumter High School’s playoff chances after a lopsided 35-0 homecoming victory over an out-manned Eau Claire team at Memorial Stadium. “We got to play everybody and we got to play everybody a lot,” Lewis said after his players celebrated the victory by dumping a cooler of water on him. “We got to rest some players with nagging injuries who we would have had to play if it had been a tight game, and we needed to do that.” • Move over, Rotary – the Bicentennial Women’s Club is here. For the past 16 years, the group of local women has been working to improve the Sumter community through group and individual projects. The international club’s motto is “Unity through diversity,”

and that carries through to the local level. “We’re a little bit of everything,” said charter member and current second vice-president Marsha Witbeck. The club was chartered in December 1975 when the U.S. Bicentennial was on everyone’s mind, she said. • Tuomey Regional Medical Center took the next step Monday toward developing a medical park and convenience care facility in the local community. The hospital’s board of trustees voted to petition the city of Sumter to annex a parcel of property at Alice Drive and Wesmark Boulevard. Jay Cox, the hospital’s acting chief executive officer, said the board may eventually develop the property into a convenience care facility and medical office park, but the project is still in the planning stages. • After three Boston Marathons and more than 27,275 miles, Rand Bailey has finally made his way back to the Sumter YMCA. Bailey, who was senior program director at the local Y from 1971 to 1975, will take over as its chief executive officer. He will replace Roland Davey, who has accepted a job as CEO of the Kannapolis, N.C., YMCA. • Sumter County Council voted Tuesday to spend up to $500,000 to expand the county jail to keep it from being closed by the S.C. Department of Corrections. The state department has threatened to close the county correctional center unless council acted by Oct. 29 to relieve overcrowding. County Administrator Bill Noonan and Correctional Center Director Jerry Hyatt wrote to the department this morning outlining the county’s plans to build an addition to the jail and listing other ways it is addressing the overcrowding problem. • While some U.S. soldiers battle the sweltering desert heat, at least one Air Force unit from Sumter is living comfortably in the Middle East. “They’ve even got a swimming pool,” said Mark Hornby, a civilian contractor at Shaw AFB who just returned from a nine-week stay in Saudi Arabia. ... For those with the 9thTIS – the intelligence production agency for the 507th Tactical Air Control Wing, 9th Air Force and U.S. Central Command Air Forces – life in Saudi Arabia is much easier than for other Air Force units that are literally living in the desert.

Clothiers played integral part in Sumter’s early business community

oday Reflections revisits some of Sumter’s clothing

stores, primarily the D.J. Chandler Clothing Store, which opened in 1894 and was incorporated on Jan. 1, 1904, as “The D.J. Chandler Clothing Co.” “David J. Chandler was president and James H. Chandler Sammy Way was ViceREFLECTIONS President and Manager. They also served as incorporators and stockholders. With the cessation of business by the Winn clothing store, D.J. Chandler became one of the oldest clothing businesses in Sumter, or in this section of the state, having been first established by D.J. Winn. He was an uncle of the Chandlers and for more than 50 years, he received a large patronage from the people of this and the adjoining counties.” The D.J. Winn Clothing Store was begun with the efforts of Winn, a native of Sumter County, who opened a tailoring business in 1846. In the beginning he chose to work alone; however, he later incorporated a partner named Conway. Later he changed associates, and the business became known as Winn and Clarkson. The business continued, often adding new partners, including a Mr. Loring and later a Mr. Joye, changing the name of the enterprise to D.J. Winn & Co. Winn was educated at Davidson College and in Baltimore. After 12 years in the clothing business with his father, he accepted the more responsible position of general business manager of the Sumter Cotton Factory, which he held for an extended period. For four years D.J. Chandler was enjoying a successful venture in the clothing business in the Sumter community

until Feb. 12, 1908, when he died on a Sunday morning of pneumonia after a brief illness. He was a native of Sumter and a resident for his entire 50 years and was respected by all who knew him. He was a successful businessman and was primarily responsible for creating the D.J. Chandler Clothing Co. He was committed to his community, serving two terms as an alderman, and was a member of the Sewerage Commission at the time of his death. He served as a member of the Board of Stewards at the Methodist Church. A large gathering attended his services, and everyone agreed that the community had lost one of its finest citizens. He was survived by three brothers, the Rev. J.C. Chandler of the South Carolina Methodist Conference, and Calvin W. and James H. Chandler of this city. James would become president of the company following D.J.’s death. In March of 1912, D.J. Chandler Clothing Store moved from its old facility on the corner of Main and Liberty streets to its new home in the building that formerly housed “Everybody’s Store,” which had recently been renovated. The front of the building featured show windows considered by many to be among the most handsome in the city. The business received another blow in December of 1916, with the unexpected death of James Chandler, who had gone to Baltimore to rest and recuperate from exhaustion. While there he, too, contracted pneumonia, which hastened his demise. His body was returned to this community and interred at Sumter Cemetery. In addition to his responsibilities at the clothing company, James Chandler served as president of the Security Building and Loan Association, was a member of the YMCA board, a member of Sumter City School Board and assisted numerous other public enterprises. He was survived by his wife, the former Rosine M. Jennings of Sumter, and two sons, Dr. James J. Chandler, of Bay View Hospital, Baltimore, and Norman C. Chandler, who was then serving with the 2nd Regiment stationed on the border with Mexico. In Feb. 1917, it was announced in the Sumter Daily Item that W. Alfred Bryan and George W. Hutcheson had purchased the D.J. Chandler Clothing Co. from the late James H. Chandler’s estate, and stated that the business would continue under the same name. They also vowed that business would be conducted on the same “high

Chandler Clothing Store was purchased by a Mr. Khur and Mr. Green from the United States Bankruptcy Court who announced plans to liquidate the inventory through a series of sales. To the delight of many Sumter shoppers it was announced in February of 1925 that the Cuttino and Chandler Clothing Co. would open its doors for business and locate in the store presently occupied by Schwartz Bros. Shoe Store. The owners planned to offer a complete line of men’s clothing tailored for the young and old. “As a preliminary to the formal opening a representative of the American Art Tailoring Co. was at the Sumter Book Store taking orders and measuring customers for spring suits. Mr. David Cuttino and Mr. Frank Chandler, both of whom had been engaged in the clothing business in the City for many years would head the company.” Reach Item Archivist Sammy Way at waysammy@ yahoo.com or (803) 774-1294.

EDUCATION

THE SUMTER ITEM

Wilson Hall SENIOR SERVICE PROJECT The 61 members of the senior class spent the school day on Oct. 14, while the rest of the high school was taking the PSAT, performing a community service project for United Ministries of Sumter. They loaded and unloaded seven pickup truck loads full of bottled water donated by Santee Baptist Association, sorted flood relief supplies and organized flood buckets filled with cleaning items. The project was coordinated by Laura Barr and Glen Rector. Each year the seniors set a class goal of community service hours that they would like to complete before graduation, and the Class of 2016 has set a goal of 3,400 service hours. While the school sponsors two service days for the seniors, the students will perform community service hours on their own in order to meet the goal of nearly 55 hours per person.

FIELD TRIPS The seniors in the advanced placement physics class, taught by Micki Harritt, participated in Midway Physics Day at the S.C. State Fair on Oct. 20. Sponsored by the University of South Carolina Department of Physics and Astronomy, the program was created to provide a fun lesson in physics for high school students from across the state. High schools are invited to spend a day with the USC physics faculty and ride the Midway rides, discussing the physics of the forces involved. The professors volunteer their time to help explain the physics of the amusement park rides and answer questions, and members of the Society of Physics Students act as “physics mentors” to the high school students as they perform measurements of the amusement rides. The 4-year-old preschool classes, taught by Pat Dew, Cathy Hanzlik and Frankie Moore, visited the pumpkin patch at Aldersgate United Methodist Church on Oct. 14. The kindergarten classes, taught by Tempe Edmunds, Mollie Kinney and Jean White, will visit Willard Farm on Monday.

FALL FESTIVAL The PTO’s annual Fall Festival will be held Tuesday from 5 to 8 p.m. on Spencer Field and in the Nash Student Center.

SCOTT’S BRANCH MIDDLE HIGH SCHOOL Scott’s Branch High School business education students are getting a taste of the real world this semester. Students in integrated business applications and business and personal finance classes are doing real world projects this semester. They are opening their own mock retail stores. Students wrote individual business plans and worked collaboratively on writing and filming commercials for their businesses. They prepared PowerPoint presentations for potential investors. Once they have investors, they will be “open for business.” Students will know what it is like to pay mortgage/rent and insurance for their businesses. They have to stock shelves, hire employees and serve customers. Once their businesses open, students will also track sales and manage their money while paying back their investors and all company bills. They are even learning how to balance checkbooks, create resumes, do mock interviews and learn what budgeting is really like. Teacher Melissa Ard says this project will give students real work experience for the applications and skills they will need in the world of business. — Beverly Spry

SEMINAR SERIES Associate professor of biology Dr. Kajal Ghoshroy will discuss “Pomaria Plantation & Summer Brothers: A Story of Plants, Propagation and Pomology in South Carolina” on Friday in the Schwartz building (Room 127) at noon. Ghoshroy’s presentation focuses on the cultivation and botany of Pomaria Nursery, a thriving business in Newberry County in the 1850s, and one of the most important Southern nurseries of the antebellum period that lasted four decades. Operated by the Summer siblings, Pomaria supplied plants to many notable plantations, orchards, farms and gardens across the nation. Dr. Jim Kibler has tracked their tree heritage on a map as an existing live evidence of the Summer family contribution to the verdant splendor of the southeastern United States. The story of the Summer brothers centers on the dynamic exchange of scientific ideas and plants in the antebellum south and far beyond. The Seminar Series is a monthly event led by USC Sumter and guest faculty who are experts in their respective fields. This free event is open to all students, faculty, staff and the community. Light refreshments will be served after. Visit www.uscsumter.edu for more details.

Sumter School District DISTRICT AWARDED NUTRITION GRANT Sumter School District has been selected to participate in the Team Nutrition Grant 2015: Enhancing Healthy Choices and Enriching Cafeterias through Culinary Arts. Funding for the grant is provided by the United States Department of Agriculture and is targeted at counties within the USDA’s StrikeForce area. The USDA launched the StrikeForce Initiative in South Carolina in 2013. The primary goal of the initiative is to increase partnership with rural communities and leverage community resources in targeted, persistent poverty areas. The mission of the SC StrikeForce is “To provide services in the realm of farming and community development to all people in a manner that improves their understanding of USDA programs and services, increases their participation in USDA programs, and encourages them to participate in resource planning and the decision-making process.” In a letter to Sumter School District Superintendent J. Frank Baker regarding the awarding of the grant, Dr. Juanita Bowens-Seabrook, director of the State Department of Education’s Office of Health and Nutrition, said, “The goal of the grant is to increase the knowledge, skills and capacity of child nutrition program staff in S.C. schools through the use of behavioral economics. Achieving this goal will empower them to cultivate healthy cafeterias that

promote health and well-being to students, parents, schools, and communities. By focusing on activities to address the needs of school districts in South Carolina’s StrikeForce counties, this project will pilot a non-traditional approach for delivering training and support.” The grant will provide assessment, interactive training, and follow-up services through a partnership between the South Carolina Department of Education and Culinary Partners Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit training and support organization that focuses on assisting child nutrition programs in the state. More information will be forthcoming to the district on specific activities pertaining to the grant.

DRY SHOE FUND CREATED The Social Justice Consortium of the Upper Lowlands and the South Carolina Chapter of the Healthcare Financial Management Association have joined forces to sponsor the SCHFMA Dry Shoes for Kids Campaign. Funds raised will be used to purchase shoes for students who lost their belongings during the recent flooding. Counselors and others in the local schools will work with students in need of the shoes, and the necessary paperwork will be given to the students in order to go and choose new shoes. For community members who would like to donate to the cause, the donations may be sent to SJC, P.O. Box 548, Sumter, SC, 29151, attention Walter Wilson Jr. Checks should be made payable to SCJ with Dry Shoes on the memo line.

Sumter Christian School MUSIC, DRAMA RECITAL HELD Sumter Christian School is always striving to provide variety for the students during the weekly chapel time. In the elementary chapel on Oct. 14, Sumter Christian School held a music and drama recital themed from Colossians 3:23. Doing all to the glory of God, the recital opened with Kannon’s piano solo “He Is Exalted,” with a six-member guitar group performing “Down in the Valley” following. After an audience sing-along, the fifth-grade class presented “Joshua and the Battle of Jericho” in the form of a drama. Later that afternoon in middle school and high school chapel, Bob Jones University representative Mike Bettancourt presented a student-centered video showing the college then issued a challenge from Philippians 1:2021 about magnifying Christ in our lives. After chapel, juniors and seniors spent their elective class with him asking more personal questions and getting a better understanding of the college experience.

LEARNING TO BE THANKFUL With all of the devastation caused by the October flood, we are all learning to be more thankful for the blessings we’ve been given and to be helpful to one another in any way that we can. Second-grade teacher Amanda Kish wrote, “‘I had a very humbling ‘teacher’ moment this week. After a week of no school due to the flooding from last week’s rain, I was excited to begin a great reading program with my class. I was busy encouraging all of my secondgraders to ‘read, read, read’ when one of my boys came up to me and told me that he didn’t have any books to read at home because all of his books got wet in the flood. My heart broke and my eyes filled with tears! I was reminded that his family lost many of their belongings last week and are now out of their home and living somewhere else. Though I didn’t personally experience any of the flood damage, I know there are many still trying to work through the after effects of the rain. Prayers for strength and peace are definitely needed. I also know that this teacher is planning on rounding up books and toys for a sweet second-grader and his family.’” — Miriam Marritt

The Sumter County Library will present Sarah Dippity’s Kooky Spooky Halloween Show at 5 p.m. Friday at the Wesmark Branch of the library, 180 W. Wesmark Blvd. Admission is free.

Consortium starts Dry Shoe fund FROM STAFF REPORTS The Social Justice Consortium of the Upper Lowlands has created a campaign to provide shoes for children who were affected by the recent flood, said Walter S. (Chuck) Wilson Jr., chairman. The South Carolina Chapter of the Healthcare Financial Management Association (SCHFMA) has donated funds to initiate the “SCHFMA Dry Shoes for Kids Campaign.” Wilson said, “Most people are aware of how to decontaminate clothing after a flood, but do not take into consideration that shoes left on the floor in homes also need to be cleaned and in some cases thrown away. This program targets replacing shoes for school children in need.” “I didn’t realize how bad the situation was,” he continued. “So many people lost everything. Children especially need shoes to wear to school.” Sumter School District Superintendent Dr. J. Frank Baker said, “We sincerely appreciate the efforts of the Social Justice Consortium and the SCHFMA chapter for this worthwhile project. The Dry Shoe Fund project will go a long way in helping our students who lost so much during the recent flooding. The need is there all over our community, and the school district is grateful to organizations such as the consortium and HFMA who support our students and help meet their basic needs.” HFMA is the professional body for the healthcare finance profession. The South Carolina chapter promotes several charity campaigns every year. Chapter treasurer Barney Osborne added, “We have great expectations for this project and hope to expand the donation of shoes to other counties impacted by the flood. If funds allow, we hope to expand these gifts to school children that lost clothing and other necessary items.” Wilson said the consortium has already distributed shoes in Sumter and Clarendon counties and will also provide them to children in Lee and Kershaw counties. Established in 2007, The Social Justice Consortium has worked with other social justice organizations in the low country in the past to provide water systems and basic necessities for the village of Women, Togo, South Africa, in conjunction with Brighter Day Charities, Inc. “The recent historic flood has encouraged the consortium to also focus on our needs closer to home,” Wilson said. This project has also received a small grant from the Women of Excellence program started in 2009. Those wishing to make donations to the Dry Shoe Fund can send them to: SJC, PO Box 548, Sumter, SC 29151 Attn: Walter Wilson Jr. Donations can also be dropped off at: • Church of the Holy Comforter 213 North Main St. Sumter, SC •Bullock Funeral Home 1190 Wilson Hall Road Sumter, SC •UBI, Inc. 110 East Liberty St. Sumter, SC Make checks payable to SJC with “Dry Shoes” in the memo line.

Ginger Jones used the book of Nehemiah as the basis for her devotional on facing bad news with faith. Members of the association made a decision to make a donation to Sounds of Grace, a ministry which takes music into local nursing homes as well as to Tuomey Hospital. Guest speaker Ben McIver presented a program on the creative process for landscape design. In addition to teaching Latin at Wilson Hall, he assists individuals and businesses with landscaping projects. He illustrated his talk with slides showing some of his work.

ecause Halloween falls on Saturday when the Wesmark Branch of the Sumter County Library is closed, the staff has a special program planned for its young readers. “We’re doing something a little different for Halloween this year,” said Children’s Librarian Janet Galus. “Instead of our traditional Halloween Spooktacular, we will be presenting Sarah Dippity and her Kooky Spooky Halloween Show on Friday at 5 p.m.” Sarah Dippity has previously performed during the library’s summer reading programs for a number of years. She is a magician, a

puppeteer, a face painter and a storyteller that the children love, Galus said. Kooky Spooky Halloween will combine magic, puppets and storytelling, plus “goofy ghosts and wacky witches.” Galus said, “This will be appropriate for children of all ages, and we will be giving the kids a treat bag filled with goodies.” Those attending are encouraged to wear their Halloween costumes. Sarah Dippity is sure to have a kooky costume or two herself. Admission is free to Sarah Dippity’s Kooky, Spooky Halloween Show, but registration for the event is requested, so library staff can plan for the treat bags. Parents can register their children by calling Galus at (803) 4698110.

Companies with 50 to 99 full-time employees must offer affordable insurance to employees and their dependents starting Jan. 1. They must also file tax forms with the government by Jan. 31 detailing the cost of their coverage and the names and Social Security numbers of employees and their dependents. While companies of all sizes are subject to the law and must file the forms, smaller businesses without big staffs to handle the paperwork may have to hire someone to do it — at a cost of hundreds or thousands of dollars. “It’s probably going to be a big nightmare for a lot of businesses,” said David Lewis, president of OperationsInc., a human resources provider

Faster production of jets pushes up Boeing’s profits BY SCOTT MAYEROWITZ AP Airlines Reporter NEW YORK — Faster production of commercial jets continues to drive profits at Boeing Co., which saw earnings jump 25 percent in the third quarter. It also raised its earnings outlook for the year. The Chicago-based company on Wednesday posted a $1.7 billion net profit, up from $1.36 billion during the same AP FILE PHOTO period last year.

Boeing results topped Wall Street exCo. has reported third-quarter pectations. The average estiearnings of $1.7 billion, which mate of nine analysts surtopped Wall Street expectations. veyed by Zacks Investment

Research was for earnings of $2.22 per share. Commercial jet manufacturing is playing a larger and larger role at Boeing, also known for its military and space programs. Payments from the delivery of new jets to airlines accounted for 68 percent of Boeing’s $25.85 billion in revenue. That also beat Wall Street’s estimates; analysts surveyed by Zacks expected $24.74 billion. In July, August and September, the aerospace company delivered 199 commercial jets, up from 186 during the same quarter last year. And more of those jets are expensive wide-bodies, such as the 787 Dreamliner. During this quarter last year, 31 Dreamliners were delivered to airlines; this year Boeing deliv-

ered 37. The challenge now for Boeing is to bring down the production cost of the long-delayed Dreamliner so it can bring in more cash and maybe, someday, break even on the plane whose development costs ran over budget. The company raised its outlook for the year by 5 cents a share. Boeing now expects full-year earnings to be between $7.65 and $7.85 a share. Boeing still has a record backlog of new jet orders: nearly 5,700 valued at $426 billion. However, lower fuel prices, a slowing global economy and the possible end of cheap interest rates has led some analysts to question how much longer this new plane-buying spree will continue and if some of those or-

ders won’t eventually be delivered. Just last week, Delta Air Lines CEO Richard Anderson said that a large number of wide-body jets coming off lease in the near future is creating an “aircraft bubble.” He predicted that airlines like his would be able to buy up these used jets cheaply, which would drive down demand — and prices — for the newer and more fuel-efficient models that Boeing and European rival Airbus are selling. Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg defended new jet sales on a call with investors and Wall Street analysts, saying, “We continue to see a growing, healthy market.” Boeing Co. shares have risen about 6 percent so far this year.

Deer season getting back to normal B

ecause of a variety of things, I’ve not been able to hunt deer like I have in the past. Things have just gotten in the way, and then they closed the season for a few days on top of that. One of the spots that I’ve relied on over the years has been pretty much been a bust this year. There have been a few deer on the trail camera, one of them being the brute that I’ve been chasing for a couple of years; but they have always shown up after 10:00 p.m. and are gone by 5:30 a.m. I was hoping that with cooler weather, the deer would begin to move a little better and it looked like that was happening. I was taking pictures in the middle of the day and all times of the morning and afternoon; then the rains came and everything changed. I didn’t have a single picture, day or night, of a deer for almost a week. Over the last couple of days, things have been slowly getting back to normal. Right now, the middle to the end of October, is my favorite time of the year to hunt. The weather has cooled off; the deer are just beginning to chase each other around; fall colors have invaded the woods

and all the parts are in place. Add to that my belief in the position of the moon and I’ve got to go to the woods. Earle I’ve got one Woodward ground blind that is perfect AFIELD & for an east AFLOAT wind, and that has been the primary wind direction for what seems like a month now. So last Tuesday, while it was still a bit on the cooler side, I slipped into the back door of the blind just as quietly as I could and started the vigil. I noticed right away that I could now see deeper into the woods than I could last week, and the leaves were continually falling, opening it up even more. As I sat there my mind began to ponder what was going on in the woods around me. I had not seen the amount of activity in the area around the blind that I had seen over the last few trips, and I wondered why. The scrape that was under the limb just down from the blind had not been freshened in some time and the tracks that showed up in

the bare sand had been rained on, leaving me to wonder if the deer had moved on. The hunting pressure on the Wildlife Management Area had intensified over the last few weeks, but what I felt like was the biggest problem was the pond behind our lease. For years, the deer had used the headwaters of the pond as a bedding area; but during the flood, the dam burst and the pond had drained. Had the deer left because of that? A dry pond is an awfully big change to their environment, and maybe they had moved somewhere else to find what they needed. I have a problem overthinking things sometimes. Anyway, I watched a squirrel over here and a dove over there and pretty much sat in my chair, kicked back and taking it easy. I had almost convinced myself that I was not going to see a deer, so I’d get out of the stand early and make it home at a reasonable time. Still, the deer were in a prerut stage, the moon position was directly overhead, which is a good thing, and the weather had cooled down, so maybe there was a chance. I saw the white belly first, just a flash of white but

enough to alert me as to their presence. I couldn’t tell how many, but I was sure of two and possibly three deer. They worked back and forth about 50 yards from the blind and to the left of it. Instantly, I knew it was going to be a race against sunlight. The way the deer were taking their time getting to me, it was going to be touch and go as to whether or not I’d have enough light to see them by the time they got to me. The first one to enter my little spot was a big doe; I’m talking roughly 120-130 pounds, a shooter in my book. She eased into the hole a little at a time, in no hurry. The first opportunity to shoot had her head sticking out from behind a tree, but her vitals covered by the tree trunk. She strolled this way and that way and eventually turned broadside at about 15 yards, vitals wide open and begging for a shot. I brought the bow up, drew it back and looked through the peep sight to find the twenty yard sight pin — nothing but darkness. A peep sight is a small ring that is woven into the bowstring just in front of your eye to help you aim. You center the tip of the sight pin, kinda

ome things about the outdoors haven’t changed; they’ve just updated with the times. In Grandpa’s day, he sat around the campfire and told stories of great days afield. He used words and emotion to share his great love and triumphs of the outdoors. Today, you just take a picture and post it to Twitter, Facebook or whatever social media you prefer. In some ways, social media is better because the photo and a sentence set the stage for telling a great outdoor adventure the next time you’re sitting with your friends over breakfast. “You don’t have to have a highdollar camera,” said Brian Carroll, who owns Marine Marketing Group in Charleston. “Great photos come from the photographer, not the camera. I’ve seen and taken some great shots from an iPhone or even an old 2.0 megapixel point-and-shoot. The features on SLR (single-lens reflex cameras) produce betterquality images, but they will never replace the ‘eye’ of the photographer.” Carroll said probably the big-

gest technical mistake most casual photographers make is with lighting. “As a rule of thumb, always put the sun at the photographer’s back so it shines on the subject,” Carroll said. “If the sun is behind the subject, all you get is silhouette. Use the sun to your advantage, but a.m. and p.m. hours are best, say from sunup to 9 a.m. and from 4 till dark. Soft light is more forgiving than a harsh overhead light.” Subject matter is the next issue. A cooler full of dead fish or a dead deer in the back of a pickup truck makes for boring photographs. To appeal to the viewer, you need to have the subject in the photo with the game or fish. “Take your photos as soon as you lay your hands on the animal,” Carroll said. “Live fish pictures always look better because the fish is vibrant, full of color, and there’s a natural background. If it’s a deer, duck or other hunted animal, take your photos right after the kill so that the eyes, fur, skin, feathers are still clear and glossy.” Everyone knows the closer you hold the fish to the camera, the bigger it looks, but there’s

more to it than that and there’s more reasoning behind positioning the animal in relation to the camera than making a 2-pound bass look like an 8-pounder. “Focus on the animal,” Carroll said. “The hunter or angler is in a supporting role. Sure, you want everyone to see that it’s whoever is holding that monster buck or fish that caught it, but the primary focus is on the game. “If it’s a trophy deer, position the head up so the viewer can see whatever makes the rack impressive. If it’s a fish, show its size, color, and girth. Always work to reduce any white underbelly. If there’s blood or signs of wounds, try to conceal those.” His last advice pertains to the hunter or angler in the photo. He can’t emphasize enough the need to smile. “Show some emotion,” he said. “Put your hunting clothes back on if you had to take the deer somewhere to get a photo. Take the deer out of the truck and place it in a natural setting and smile.” Phillip Gentry is the host of the “Upstate Outdoors” radio program. Email him at pgentry6@ bellsouth.net.

like the front sight on a rifle, in the middle of the hole in the peep sight, like the rear sight on a rifle and put the pin on the deer’s vitals. Now I’ve got a pretty big aperture on my peep sight, but try as I might, there just wasn’t enough light coming through to get a clear sight picture; I could see her with the naked eye and with binoculars, just not looking through the peep. Even ten years ago, I would have tried guessing where the sight pin was and probably would have taken a shot; but I’ve grown up and matured and I just didn’t want to take a chance at wounding a deer and not being able to recover it. It’s just not fair to the animal, and I have way to much respect for them to do something half-way. This time she got a pass. I know she’s there, and since the acorns all around the blind are just beginning to fall, she should be there for awhile. I’m going to back out of the area for a week or so, let the place settle down. Hopefully a big buck will come along to pursue this big doe, and I’ll him to the list. Regardless, I’ll be back, and hopefully be able to take him or her home for dinner.

Illegally trafficked leopard and tiger heads stored by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Office of Law Enforcement fill the shelves of a warehouse inside the National Wildlife Property Repository in Commerce City, Colorado.

FISHING REPORTS Santee Cooper System Bass: Good. Fish are shallow in 3 to 6 feet as they leave the stained water. Worms are your best bet. Catfish: Good. Fish can be found all over the lake, but not around the Diversion Dam as there is too much water moving through. Around the lake use herring and mullet for best results. Striper: Good. Schooling is reported. Best fishing is from midafternoon to dark in 25-30 feet. Look for birds. Drifting with live bait is producing. Lake Wateree Crappie: Good. Veteran tournament angler Will Hinson reports that crappie are still biting pretty well - after all, if Lake Wateree crappie weren’t willing to feed in muddy water they would often starve! This is a transition period and so a couple of patterns are available to anglers, and on the main lake crappie can still be caught on the lower end fishing brush in 16-21 feet of water. Single-rod fishing with a Fish Stalker jig last weekend Will and his son caught 60plus fish in several hours, and they found that the fish were holding only 8-10 inches off the bottom. On the other end of the lake/ seasonal pattern fish can also be found along the river run and anglers can catch fish following the ledge of the river channel and tightlining minnows in 16-18 feet of water. Again, fish are just off the bottom and

Will reports that the winter feed is on! As the water temperatures drop, and the upper end likely clears up faster than the lower lake, expect fish to continue to move up the lake. Lake Greenwood Catfish: Good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that now that the lake is calming down after the flood the bite is improving. Drifting with herring and gizzard shad is working pretty well, with most fish in the 10-25 foot range. Main lake points and humps are the best areas to target right now, and it’s also worth checking feeder creeks. Some days the fish will be traveling in and out of those and at those times they are feeding and readily caught. Lake Monticello Catfish: Good. For the last few months Captain Chris Simpson has reported a good bite for numbers of eating-sized blue catfish on Lake Monticello, and although the bite for big fish has been fair he has promised that once cooler temperatures arrive the big fish bite will turn on. He has also predicted that the deep drift bite would turn on as it typically does in the fall. Anchoring on humps and points and fan-casting to depths of 20-65 feet has been the most consistent pattern, but free-line drifting is also doing pretty well for big fish in the same depth range. This fall he says

that gizzard shad have outperformed everything else by leaps and bounds. Lake Murray Bass: Fair. Lake World reports that fish are scattered from dam to the upper lake due to the large influx of water. Some schooling is reported. Go with free lines and planer boards. Catfish: Fair to good. The drift is off, but as the lake clears up it should improve. Bait is deeper so anchor off humps with stinkbait in 5 to 30 feet of water. Lake Russell Perch: Very good. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that white perch can be found in the same areas as the spotted bass, although he is finding them slightly deeper in 35 feet of water. Each winter large yellow perch show up and they are starting to be caught in the same areas now, too. Crappie: Good. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that crappie are feeding well around brush in 15-20 feet of water. The fish are holding about 8-10 feet below the surface, and Wendell is targeting them on a slip float or with a drop shot rig and minnow. Similar to largemouth fishing the best crappie areas are way up the creeks in stained water, while other areas have too many spotted bass to effectively target crappie. However, there are some really nice crappie closer to the main lake mixed in with the spots.

Lake Thurmond Crappie: Fair to good. Captain William Sasser reports that with the water cooling a bit the crappie bite is improving. Not a lot of fish are being caught yet, but some really good sized crappie are biting. The best bet is fishing in the backs of tributaries abound 15 feet down with minnows over tree tops/ brush in about 25 feet of water. Lake Wylie Bass: Slow to fair. FLW Professional and Guide Matt Arey reports that the bite is still pretty tough, but he predicts seasonal improvement as the water temperatures continue to cool in the coming weeks. While early to midSeptember is often a continuation of a later summer pattern, we are approaching a real transition period. While some fish will stay out on the main lake, shad will begin migrating to the backs of creek and the bass will follow them. Shallow fishing should remain strong until the weather cools significantly, and square-billed crankbaits, jigs, and topwater lures will all catch fish. Anglers should also be alert for schooling activity all over the lake. Lake Hartwell Catfish: Good. Captain Bill Plumley reports that the channel catfish bite continues to be pretty strong, although

the fish have moved a bit deeper into the 15-40 foot range. As with some other species fish are scattered, but unlike some other species they are feeding well across the lake. Anglers can either drift or anchor, and dip bait (anchor fishing), night crawlers and cut herring are all working. At night flathead catfish can be caught on live perch and bream, but the bigger blues are out in the deep timber and very difficult to target. A few small blues continue to show up while fishing for channels. Crappie: Fair. Captain Bill Plumley reports that a few crappie have been caught over brush in the 25 foot range, but angling activity has been pretty light. If anglers can find the right brush water temperatures are getting right where anglers should be able to load the boat using either jigs or minnows. Lake Keowee Largemouth and Spotted Bass: Fair. There is a good drop shot bite in the 25-35 foot range. While decent numbers of baitfish and bass will move up the creeks on Keowee in the fall. Lake Jocassee Trout: Fair. Fish are very deep on the lake after the recent storm. Some decent fishing can be had at 100+ feet around the dam with minnows. Water temps still need to cool down for fishing to truly improve.

What to know before taking an online loan to pay off your debt NEW YORK (AP) — Online lenders are pitching a fast way to get rid of credit card debt: Take out one of their loans and use it to pay off the card balances. Those offers may sound tempting, but be careful, financial advisers say. Those who can’t control their spending may end up in more debt than they started with. “If you’re not disciplined, I would not recommend it,” said Felicia Gopaul, a certified financial planner in Irvine, California. Online lenders such as Lending Club, Upstart and Prosper offer personal loans quicker than a bank. Borrowers apply online, and cash is usually deposited into a bank account in a few days. Payments are taken from checking accounts automatically every month. The lenders, which advertise heavily through emails and social media, are growing in popularity. They lent $5.5 billion to Americans last year, according to a report by accounting company PricewaterhouseCoopers, and that number is expected to reach $150 billion in the next decade. Allie Dreskin borrowed $3,500 through Prosper after seeing an ad online two years ago. She used the money to pay off three credit cards and a bank loan, all of which charged annual percentage rates of more than 20 percent. Dreskin, who works at a nonprofit in Washington, said the high interest rates were making it hard to pay off the $4,000 debt quickly. The loan from Prosper had an APR of 7 percent and would be paid off within four years. “I pay less at the end, and I pay it off sooner,” Dreskin said. If you’re thinking about consolidating debt using an online loan, consider these factors:

CHECK THE INTEREST RATE Make sure the loan’s APR is lower than that of your credit cards. The APRs on online loans can vary greatly, typically between 5 percent and 40 percent, depending on your credit score. The average credit card has an APR of

15 percent, according to CreditCards.com. Check your credit card statements for the APR. It only makes sense to take a loan if it is cheaper than the debt you’re paying off, said Mike Brady, the founder and president of Generosity Wealth Management in Boulder, Colorado. “If you have really bad credit, there might not be a huge advantage,” he said. Online lenders list their APRs and fees on their websites, but you may not know exactly what they will charge you until you apply.

KNOW THE FEES Online lenders typically charge origination fees of about 5 percent of the total loan amount. The fee is deducted directly from the loan. So if you borrow $10,000, for example, you’ll receive $9,500 in your bank account. Watch out for other potential costs. You may be charged for a late payment, or some even charge if you want to pay by check instead of automatically through your bank account. Fees are listed on each company’s website and on their loan agreements. Call lenders to verify their fees.

CREATE A BUDGET Make sure you’ll be able to pay the loan every month. Most online lenders take money directly from a checking account monthly, so you’ll have little control on when the payment is made. Know when the payment is due, and budget for it. Lenders will typically tell you how much you’re expected to pay each month after applying.

Help SC Flood Relief Central Carolina Community Foundation has established the SC Flood Relief Fund to address the pressing needs of ﬂood victims - both short and long term - across eleven Midlands counties. 100% of monies donated will go directly to local organizations aiding those in need.

CUT THE CARDS A new loan won’t help much if you load up your cards again with balances. Don’t close your accounts — not using them can improve your credit score, Brady said. But do cut up the cards to prevent the temptation of using them and falling deeper into debt. “There is a behavior issue many times,” Brady said. “They just ring up the debt again if their behavior doesn’t change.”

INSURANCE FROM PAGE D1 from the IRS. Companies that try to do the work themselves will find it labor intensive. And asking employees for information about their families may cause friction, said Samantha Reynolds, a spokeswoman for A Plus Benefits in Boise, Idaho. “You don’t want to just send a letter and say, answer these questions,” she said. Some payroll companies will, for a fee, compile the forms, but coordination between them and a health broker or insurer can still be a hassle. “The companies have to trust and depend on their HR

and payroll providers to gather and handle it,” said Mark Sinatra, CEO of Staff One, a human resources provider based in Dallas. Cathy Trlica has already hired a company to do the paperwork for her Caring Senior Service franchise in New Braunfels, Texas. She’s estimating that about 30 of her employees will want the insurance she’ll offer starting Jan. 1; others are likely to be covered through their spouses’ policies. But compiling the tax forms will be too time consuming for her small office staff. “There’s no way we have the capability of doing that internally,” Trlica said.
