Ministers strive to ‘protect the flock’

Scares and frights at USC Sumter tonight

Their opposition to Sunday alcohol sales is based on moral beliefs

Savannah Daniels leads a tour through the haunted house at USC Sumter for the Halloween carnival, which benefits the school’s athletics department. The haunted house will be open again tonight from 6 to 11 p.m.

Few can argue with the value of economic development, but local ministers are asking: At what cost? They said they base their opposition to the Sunday alcohol sales referendum on moral beliefs.

“Our decisions are based on God’s will, and God commanded we remember the Sabbath and keep it holy,” said Napoleon Bradford, director of Christian education and missions at Jehovah Missionary Baptist Church. “Oftentimes, as spiritual leader and shepherd of our congregations, we see the enemy that the sheep won’t see.

It’s our job to see above the sheep’s head and to see what’s BRADFORD coming from all angles. That’s our job as shepherd, as pastor, to protect the flock whether they know it’s the enemy or not.”

The referendum, if approved during Tuesday’s election, would allow only restaurants to sell alcohol to those dining in their busiWINDLEY nesses. It does not permit “carryout” sales, and stores and bars would still be banned from selling it on Sundays.

But for Bradford and George P. Windley Jr., pastor of First Baptist Missionary Church, the passage of the referendum could be a slippery slope. Windley referenced Morgan Reeves, a Green Party candidate for governor in South Carolina who argued marijuana should be legalized because it would bring more money to the state and said this referendum is no different.

“Our church’s fear is that this is the gateway,” Bradford said. “We’ve seen in other segments of society where a small legislative decision is made that subsequently provides for something else to take place. It’s alcohol on Sundays dine-in now, but who’s to say that in the next election, it won’t be expanded to the purchase of take-out liquor?”

Windley said alcohol consumption brings

Sumter native spearheads innovative diabetes product

BY PAUL F. ALONGI Special to The Sumter Item What started as a Clemson University research project is turning into a global business that could supply diabetics with the low-cost testing equipment they need to manage their blood sugar.

The product, GlucoSense, aims at helping diabetics in developing countries and other “resource-poor settings” do the daily testing that can help them prevent potentially fatal complications.

The student-led GlucoSense team has started a company, Accessible Diagnostics, with doctoral student Kayla Gainey,

of Sumter, serving as chief technology officer.

With four awards to its credit, GlucoSense launches with wind in its sails.

“Most of the research is done,” Gainey said. “We still need to do some final design changes to get to our final product. We’re hoping by the end of the next year that it could be ready to sell.”

GlucoSense works much the same way as glucometers and test strips that can be bought in any pharmacy. Diabetics prick their finger, dab blood on a strip and then insert it into the glucometer to test their blood sugar.

A key difference is that Gluco-

Sense is made from readily available parts that can be found in any U.S. electronics store or bought in bulk and shipped to remote parts of the world.

The product helps overcome one of the biggest challenges in providing medical equipment to the developing world. Unreliable shipping routes make it difficult and time-consuming to deliver the equipment.

If a product has an expiration date, as test strips do, the clock is ticking.

“What we’ve done is come up with an easy manufacturing practice,” said Delphine Dean, a co-founder and the

Frosty weekend temps expected to nip Carolinas

BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com The warm weather the area has been enjoying will get spooked out of the area by Saturday evening, and the first frosts of the season may nip outdoor plants if gardeners don’t take precautions.

Blame it on Canada.

Meteorologist Hunter Coleman of National Weather Service in Columbia on Thursday said a strong upper-level system will drop down over the Great Lakes Region this weekend and into the Carolinas, bringing with it a much cooler Canadian air mass.

Even though temperatures Saturday night are predicted to fall to the mid-30s, Coleman said the threat of frost shouldn’t be a major concern until Sunday night and early Monday.

“Saturday night will be pretty windy,” he said. “A strong surface, low-pressure system off the coast should keep the pressure gradient really strong, so the winds will be up most of the night, which should prevent any frost.

“Sunday night is the night we could have widespread frost across the area,” he said.

“There’s probably going to be some freezing areas, maybe 3 a.m. to 8 a.m. time frame.”

Tonight’s trick-or-treaters will experience temperatures in the lower 60s, falling into the 50s, he said.

“Friday evening will not be quite that cold, but it will be cooler than it has been,” Coleman said.

Sue Timmons, a master gardener at Simpson Hardware, said gardeners may want to bring some plants indoors.

“If you have anything outside that’s blooming pretty, and it’s in a pot, I would take it indoors for a night,” she said.

She said she doesn’t expect enough of a frost to kill anything, but it might damage plants left outside.

“It may make them not so pretty any more,” she said.

Timmons said gardeners who want to protect outdoor plants from damage can cover them with something such as a bucket, a trash bag, cloth or plastic.

“The only thing about covering things this time of year is you must be very careful to get it off early the next day,” she cautioned. “As damaging as a frost may be, it is much worse to leave the plastic on the next day when the sun comes up because then whatever it is under the plastic is going to cook.”

Timmons said most vegetables such as cabbages, kale and collards will be fine.

“A light frost isn’t going to do any harm, and when they get big, even a heavier frost isn’t going to damage them,” she said.

“If you have anything that’s portable, bring it in or cover it up,” Timmons said. “It’s better to be safe than sorry.”

RAYTEVIA EVANS / THE SUMTER ITEM

The Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce presented its first set of 2014 Golden Apple Awards to 12 students at Crestwood High School on Thursday morning. The chamber partnered with Caterpillar Inc. for the awards and ceremony and had multiple sponsors including Adams Outdoor Advertising, Childs & Halligan Attorneys at Law, Kaydon Corp., Dr. James Privett, Hill Plumbing & Electric Co. Inc. and NHC Healthcare Sumter.

12 high schoolers nominated for 2014 Golden Apple Awards

BY RAYTEVIA EVANS ray@theitem.com When a community member lost a loved one and wanted a specific song performed at the funeral, Crestwood High School student Malek McDuffie learned the song and performed it during a family’s time of need.

The Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce recognized McDuffie and 11 other Crestwood students for their character Thursday after teachers and coaches recommended them for the Golden Apple Award.

Proud parents, teachers and supporters joined the chamber along with its partner, Caterpillar Inc., to present the awards to the students. The recognition came with a proclamation from the city and county of Sumter which states the students have demonstrated exceptional character and have shown pride, determination and honesty.

Les Thompson with the chamber and The Tuomey Foundation’s business development and relations said schools and Sumter School District recognize outstanding academic and athletic performance.

Police apprehended Bradley late Monday night after officers responded to a reported break-in along Lime Lane. According to a news release from Sumter Police Department, police found the suspect inside a residential care facility bleeding from cuts he sustained while apparently attempting to break into a window there.

Reports indicate he told police he was chased to the scene by someone trying to kill him, and he was forced to break a window in order to ensure his safety. Officers, however, found no evidence of a chase occurring.

Reports indicated a man matching

But the chamber and local partners also want to commend students for leadership, community service and showing exceptional character and good citizenship.

“The people at Tuomey are smart, but what keeps people at Tuomey is life skills. They take pride in their work and are dedicated,” Thompson said. “In Sumter, we want smart people, and we also want good people.”

The chamber has partnered with the city and county, local businesses and Sumter School District for more than 10 years to present the awards.

Thursday’s program included congratulations to students and parents from the chamber, representatives from Caterpillar and from Superintendent Frank Baker. The chamber also had breakfast sponsors, Hill Plumbing & Electric Co. Inc. and NHC Healthcare Sumter, provide a meal for the students and guests.

Baker added it’s important to thank parents for entrusting their children to the school district that makes the schools and the district what it is and to thank teachers who make more of an impact on the lives of students than they sometimes realize.

Bradley’s description was seen trying to pry his way into a home along Webb Street about the same time Monday night. The suspect was also allegedly seen leaving a residence on Harrison Street, which had been broken into.

Victims reported no items stolen from the alleged homes.

About 20 seconds of clips of Graham’s speech were provided to The Associated Press, and Graham’s campaign confirmed it was him speaking.

CNN first reported the remarks Wednesday, less than a week before the election to decide whether Graham gets a third term in the Senate.

After using profanity to say the government is messed up, Graham tells the group, “If I get to be president, white men who are in male-only clubs are going to do great in my presidency.”

State orders new election for Harrell’s seat Republican attorney Butch Bowers said no one’s disenfranchised because voters will get to vote again in the special election.

“It’s not about politics. It’s about the law,” Moore said.

The commissioners’ reasoning marked a reversal from the agency’s decision earlier

POLICE BLOTTER CHARGE David Geddings, 37, of Manning, was arrested at 6:10 p.m. Tuesday and charged with driving under suspension, third offense, after Sumter police reportedly spotted him driving along North Guignard Drive.

COLUMBIA (AP) — South Carolina election commissioners agreed Thursday to let Republicans replace former House Speaker Bobby Harrell on the ballot, one week after he pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations and resigned from his seat as part of a plea deal.

But the state Supreme Court may have the final say.

The State Election Commission ordered a special GOP primary for the seat representing parts of Charleston and Dorchester counties, setting a one-week filing period to begin on Election Day. The primary would have to be followed later by a special general election to fill the seat, possibly Dec. 9.

Under the commission’s order, Harrell’s name remains on Tuesday’s ballot, but the results will not count. Neither will the votes of about 1,000 people who already have voted absentee in the race.

The commissioners’ 5-0 decision came moments after they rejected Harrell’s withdrawal affidavit, explaining later that the formal statement was unnecessary.

Commission Chairman Billy Way said Harrell’s guilty plea already disqualifies him from running. Harrell, first elected to the House in 1992 and elected speaker by his colleagues in 2005, pleaded guilty last week to using campaign money for his own benefit.

Under the plea, he cannot hold office for at least three years, the period of his probation.

Hours after the decision, an attorney for Democratic candidate Mary Tinkler asked the state’s highest court to immediately review the commission’s decision, overturn it and allow the general election to continue. The petition filed

by William Wilkins says the decision ignores the timelines set in state law for substituting a candidate.

“This whole process reeks of politics,” Democratic Party Chairman Jaime Harrison said immediately after the vote.

Allowing the Republicans a do-over election sets a terrible precedent that both parties will take advantage of in the future, Harrison said.

He also called the decision unfair to Tinkler, as well as a third-party candidate, and said it disenfranchised voters.

But state GOP Chairman Matt Moore said the decision is about giving voters a choice.

this week.

On Monday, agency officials said the contest would go forward next week, though Harrell could not win because he had not submitted the required withdrawal affidavit.

That appeared to set up a Democratic win to the seat for the first time in four decades.

STOLEN PROPERTY A speaker box containing a pair of 12-inch Pioneer premier speakers valued at $250 and a Memphis power amp valued at $300 were reportedly stolen from a vehicle parked in the 1900 block of McCrays Mill Road on Tuesday between 9:45 and 10:45 p.m.

GLOBAL SWEET TOOTH People in the developing economies of Asia and Latin America are acquiring a taste for chocolate. While North America and Western Europe still account for more than half of global chocolate sales, demand is growing faster in emerging markets. That’s raising concerns that demand for cocoa beans, the key ingredient in chocolate bars, will outstrip supply.

SUPPLY PROBLEMS West Africa is the world’s biggest cocoa-producing region and accounts for about twothirds of the global crop. Unlike large, modern farms in the U.S. and other developed economies, about 80 to 90 percent of the world’s cocoa crop comes from small, family-run operations, according to the World Cocoa Foundation, a trade organization.

The small-scale production makes it more challenging to introduce modern farming techniques. The WCF is sponsoring farmer training to encourage more efficient use of water resources and better soil management to improve crop yields.

University studies music’s effect on behavior

BY CARRIE ANTLFINGER The Associated Press UNION GROVE, Wis. — Mike Knutson taught himself to play the harmonica as a child, and the 96-year-old sang with his family for most of his life. Even now, as he suffers from dementia, music is an important part of his life thanks to a study looking at the impact of a nationwide music program aimed at helping dementia patients.

The study being led by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is the largest yet on the impact of the Music and Memory program, which is in hundreds of nursing homes across the U.S. and Canada, said program founder Dan Cohen. Similar studies will be conducted in Utah and Ohio.

Researchers are monitoring the responses of 1,500 Alzheimer’s and dementia patients who were given iPods at Wisconsin nursing homes through the program, which was highlighted in a documentary honored at the Sundance Film Festival this year. Their mental state will then be compared to the same number of people in 100 other nursing homes who THE ASSOCIATED PRESS haven’t received iPods.

another 150 Wisconsin nursing homes next year.

For the study, nursing homes put together personalized playlists for residents. Researchers then document residents’ interactions, watch sleep patterns, put on wrist monitors that track movement and collect music data.

The study started this summer, and final data should be available by next summer.

“You may see the immediate effects shown on the residents, but we don’t really know if it actually has longer-term effects,” said Jung Kwak, an associate professor of social work at the university.

Researchers hope to determine whether music improves mood and behavior. They also want to see if music could someday reduce the need for prescription drugs, Kwak and Cohen said.

Cohen, who founded Music and Memory in New York in 2006, said he hopes the Wisconsin study informs the health care system of the program’s benefits and potential cost savings. He said there’s also fear of visiting dementia patients, so he hopes the program will encourage families and friends to visit more often.

“Then (the patients) will feel more alive and won’t feel as isolated in these facilities,” he said.

Official says there’s no hope of finding mudslide survivors

Hwang In-yeol and his wife, Shim Myeongseop, blow out candles on a birthday cake Wednesday for their daughter Ji-hyeon at a gym on South Korea’s southwestern island of Jindo, where they have been staying since the April 16 sinking of the ferry Sewol. After the disaster that killed her and 303 others, the couple waited seven months to see her body. The vigil ended Wednesday, when divers retrieved their only child’s body on what would have been her 17th birthday.

Wait for only daughter’s body ends on what would have been 17th birthday Teenager died in April ferry sinking disaster SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Hwang In-yeol and his wife waited seven years to have a child, and then she was born on Oct. 29, 1997. After a ferry disaster in April that killed her and 303 others, the couple waited again for nearly seven months to see Ji-hyeon’s body. The vigil ended Wednesday when divers retrieved their only child’s body on her 17th birthday.

“The saddest birthday party on the earth,” read a headline in the Hankyoreh newspaper Thursday alongside a picture showing a sobbing Hwang standing with his wife on Wednesday before a whipped-cream cake with glowing candles on it.

“Please, wait peacefully for me in heaven. Daddy will follow you soon,” the 51-year-old Hwang was quoted as saying.

Divers found Ji-hyeon’s body on Tuesday around a toilet in the sunken ship Sewol, but it took one day to pull it up to the surface be-

cause of strong currents and its decaying condition. The results of DNA tests released Thursday confirmed the body belongs to Ji-hyeon.

Her body is the first recovered since July 18, raising the official death toll from the April 16 sinking to 295, mostly high school students who were traveling to a southern island for a school trip. Nine others are still missing.

Hours before the body was brought up, Hwang and his wife, Shim Myeong-seop, threw a party to celebrate their daughter’s 18th birthday at a gym on the southwestern island of Jindo, where they have been staying since April 16 to be closer to the searches.

Many Asian cultures, including South Korean, count the age of the newborn baby as 1, and by that method Jihyeon would have celebrated her 18th birthday on Wednesday. The entire Korean media reported it as such.

The parents were confident the body was that of their daughter because of the clothes on her, according to volunteer workers helping

families of the missing people.

The Hankyoreh newspaper said Hwang and his wife also offered a bowl of rice, rice cakes, sea mustard soup and pizza at the party, which was also attended by family members of the nine other missing people.

“It was a great help because so many people congratulated us on our daughter’s birthday,” Hwang, the father, was quoted as saying.

Ji-hyeon’s body was airlifted to her hometown of Ansan, just south Seoul, on Thursday for a funeral, according to Jang Kil-hwan, the director of volunteers on Jindo Island.

KOSLANDA, Sri Lanka (AP) — Hundreds of desperate Sri Lankan villagers dug with bare hands through the broken red earth of a deadly landslide Thursday, defying police orders after a top disaster official said there was no chance of finding more survivors at the high-elevation tea plantation.

There were conflicting reports of how many people were missing in the slide, which struck Wednesday morning in the island nation’s central hills after heavy monsoon rains.

Disaster Management Minister Mahinda Amaraweera said the number of dead at the Koslanda tea plantation would be fewer than 100. But Sri Lanka’s Disaster Management Center — which Amaraweera oversees — reported 190 missing.

“I have visited the scene, and from what I saw, I don’t think there will be any survivors,” Amaraweera said on Thursday. “But that number is less than 100.”

Frustrated relatives who had watched the search from the sidelines tried to follow a politician into the search site but were stopped by police. However, the politician argued with police and took villagers with him who joined hundreds of sol-

diers searching through the mud for survivors.

The search was suspended Thursday evening because of heavy rain.

President Mahinda Rajapaksa visited the disaster site on Thursday and spoke to residents who are taking shelter in schools and temples. According to his website, Rajapaksa ordered officials to expedite rescue and relief for the victims.

Television reports showed Rajapaksa inspecting the disaster from the air and meeting with relief officials.

Later he distributed sleeping mats and boxes with essential items to the displaced people and consoling weeping men and women.

Amaraweera said the government asked the National Child Protection Authority to take charge of children orphaned by the disaster.

Many children had left for school before the slide and returned to see their homes buried with their parents. A government minister told Parliament they have found 75 orphaned children.

“The government will be fully responsible for them; we will not give them to anyone other than somebody from immediate family because they can be sent for child labor,” he said.

North Korea cracking down on distant threat: Ebola virus

BY ERIC TALMADGE The Associated Press PYONGYANG, North Korea — North Korea announced Thursday it will quarantine foreigners for 21 days because of fears of the spread of the Ebola virus, even though no cases of the disease have been reported in the reclusive country or anywhere in Asia, and very few foreigners are allowed to enter.

North Korea is always on guard against outside influences, but now that it perceives the deadly disease to be a threat, its anxiety has reached a new level. It has banned tourists, put business groups on hold and is looking even more suspiciously than usual at every foreign face coming across its borders.

Case in point: When a highlevel delegation from Japan arrived in Pyongyang this week, two of the first people they met were dressed in full hazmat gear.

The steps also send a message to the North Korean people to be very afraid of the outside world and of outside influences.

An announcement distributed Thursday to diplomatic missions in Pyongyang said that, regardless of country or

region of origin, all foreigners will be quarantined under medical observation for 21 days.

Foreigners from affected areas will be quarantined at one set of locations, while those from unaffected areas will be sent to other locations, including hotels. The staff of diplomatic missions and international organizations will be allowed to stay in their residences.

Tourist visits to North Korea were halted last week, so few were likely to still be in the country.

Most tourists do not stay for 21 days. It was unclear if they or others already in North Korea on shorter stays, for example on business, would have to remain for the quarantine period.

North Korea’s frantic response to the Ebola outbreak, including the broad but so far poorly defined ban on foreign tourism, is also surprising because it admits so few foreigners at all. Other than diplomatic and government missions, it has virtually no contact with any of the countries that have been most affected in West Africa, though Africa is one of the places it has tried to develop good relations.

Kim Yong Nam, the head of

North Korea’s parliament, is now touring the continent, though not Ebola-impacted areas.

The strict measures shed some light on how the bureaucracy in North Korea tends to work and on the isolated country’s often-fearful views of the outside world in general.

Last week, after rumors began to circulate among the small foreign community in Pyongyang that draconian measures were in the offing, North Korea’s state media announced travelers and cargo would be subject to stricter monitoring at airports, seaports and railway border crossings.

Daily reports are being broadcast on television news and during evening programming to increase public awareness of the disease and its symptoms.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Medical personnel in protective suits stand Monday by an ambulance at Sunan International Airport in Pyongyang, North Korea. North Korea would seem like the last place on Earth that has anything to worry about from Ebola. But it has banned tourists, put business groups on hold and is quarantining all foreigners.

MINISTERS FROM PAGE A1 more crime to the community and opens doors to violence. He said he supports growth to the community but not at the expense of serving alcohol on Sundays.

Proponents of Sunday sales project economic growth if it’s passed with the arrival of new restaurants and increased business for existing ones in Sumter. As residents of the city, Bradford and Windley recognize

the benefits of development but not through items such as this.

“I understand their position the way they’ve laid it out: It’s stopping growth of new franchises coming; it’s preventing Buffalo Wild Wings and a couple others,” Bradford said. “But my question to that would be, for so long we haven’t had Sunday sales, and things have been great. Restaurants have come. In the last 10-15 years, we’ve added an Outback, we’ve added a Logan’s, we’ve added a Chili’s. That whole

THE SUMTER ITEM

‘Is it really worth selling our soul for a Buffalo Wild Wings?’

NAPOLEON BRADFORD Director of Christian education and missions at Jehovah Missionary Baptist Church side has expanded without Sunday alcohol sales.

“Is it really worth selling

GLUCOSENSE FROM PAGE A1 company’s technology adviser. “We ship the manufacturing materials, and then the customer makes them onsite.”

The test strips are printed for about 5 cents each by rigging a conventional ink-jet printer to shoot enzymes instead of ink.

The potential cost savings is huge. Commercially available test strips sell for as much as $1 each, and many diabetics need to use five or more a day.

Testing helps maintain blood sugar levels. When blood sugar is too high, diabetics need to take insulin.

They need to eat when blood sugar is too low.

Failing to maintain blood sugar levels can lead to complications, including kidney disease, high blood pressure, stroke, neuropathy, ketoacidosis and gastroparesis.

Martine LaBerge, chair of the Clemson department of bioengineering, said the private investment and multiple

Tyler Ovington, left, and Kayla Gainey demonstrate how test strips for diabetics can be printed on an ink-jet printer. awards show that GlucoSense is more than a common research project.

“There is clearly a need for GlucoSense,” she said. “GlucoSense has a bright future.

With Kayla in the lead, it will surely go far.”

The team was mentored by Dean and John DesJardins, an associate professor of bioengineering, and financially supported by Clemson’s Creative Inquiry program.

GlucoSense began as part of the bioengineering department’s broader effort to help those in need in Tanzania.

Students and faculty members are also working to introduce an infant warmer and grass-woven neck braces.

While the program started with Tanzania in mind, Accessible Diagnostics is looking to move beyond any single nation, Gainey said.

“We’ve had interest from

our soul for a Buffalo Wild Wings?”

The two agreed that it should be enough that liquor sales are permitted the other six days of the week.

“As the church, we really want to keep Sunday holy,” Bradford said.

Windley concurred, saying that sometimes the pastor needs to stand against cultural change. “Sometimes it can’t be about money any more,” he said.

In response to the studies conducted by alcohol sales supporters that show flat

crime rates and even decreased alcohol-related fatalities, Windley said that it’s not fair to view Sumter in the same light as other counties.

“So what if we had 10 compared to Columbia or Florence?” Windley asked, referring to any deaths or injuries related to alcohol consumption. “That’s 10 families that have still been affected by this.”

If the referendum is not passed in Tuesday’s election, it will not be allowed back on the ballot for four years.

Tanzania, Nigeria, Canada, South Carolina and El Salvador,” she said.

The company is working with U.S. and Tanzania officials to get regulatory approval for GlucoSense.

The most recent award tied to GlucoSense came on Oct. 16 at the SC BIO Annual Conference in Greenville.

Gainey gave a six-minute presentation that won the conference’s “pitch contest.”

The presentation included information about the technology, expected customers, the company’s team and how it is moving forward.

While the pitch was to a panel of three judges, it was an opportunity to expose GlucoSense to an audience of key experts. The crowd at the Hyatt Regency that day included about 200 people who work at universities and in the life-sciences industry.

The top prize came with $2,500 and independent confirmation that the company was on the right track, Gainey said.

“A lot of the people there

were established entrepreneurs who have been doing this their whole life,” she said.

“For them to come up and say ‘you did a good job,’ it’s a nice boost to your confidence.”

The need for the product came when Dean was working in Tanzania on developing infant-warming blankets.

She met with Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete in the capital, Dar es Salaam, in January 2012.

Diabetes is a growing problem for Tanzania, Dean said.

And donations of commercially available test strips and glucometers haven’t been much help, she said. If the strips and glucometers don’t match, they can’t be used.

Gainey, a Type I diabetic, has a personal reason for taking part in the project.

“I understand how crucial glucose readings are to treating the disease,” she said.

“I’ve been very fortunate to always have access to monitoring, but for people who haven’t, I want to make sure that it’s an option.”

Horror classics, lost history take over tonight’s TV

BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH Is the History Channel a library of ideas? Or an attic of old stuff ? When it concerns itself with history at all, History falls very much in the “stuff” category.

Ideas about history are harder to dramatize. And it’s more difficult to reach enough people who care.

Some years back, the History Channel was Tony’s refuge on “The Sopranos.” He’d unwind by watching old documentaries about World War II and maybe learn something about strategy.

But that was a long time ago. It’s easier now to reach people if you talk about artifacts and things that have price tags, hence the success of “American Pickers” (6 p.m. to 11 p.m., r, TV-PG).

It’s not just the History Channel. PBS got into the “stuff” business in a big way with “Antiques Roadshow” and “History Detectives.”

Talking about ideas is just so hifalutin’. But everybody’s got something in their attic.

Over on the History Channel’s spinoff network, H2, “Brad Meltzer’s Lost History” (10 p.m., TV-PG) goes in search of artifacts from key moments in America’s past — fascinating “stuff” that has been stolen or misplaced over the years.

Among the items he’ll hunt down this season are a flag flown over Ground Zero in the days after 9/11; a collection of jewel-encrusted swords stolen from Harry Truman’s presidential library and a Tommy gun once owned by gangster John Dillinger.

Relegated to H2, an uppertier channel, Meltzer should perhaps go looking for American’s appreciation for history. It’s been missing — at least on television — for some time.

• Superstition and fear dominate the dial 365 days a year, but on Halloween night they are given free reign.

Among tonight’s creepy offerings are back-to-back helpings of “Ghost Adventures” (Travel, TV-PG), exploring Mexico’s Island of the Dolls (8 p.m.) and Halloween’s Celtic roots (9 p.m.).

• TCM unspools a 24-hour marathon of horror classics

with an accent on low-budget productions from notable directors, including William Castle’s gimmicky 1959 shocker “The Tingler” (12:15 p.m.); Francis Ford Coppola’s 1963 effort “Dementia 13” (3:15 p.m.); Roman Polanski’s 1965 psychological thriller “Repulsion” (6:15 p.m.); and George Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead” (8 p.m.), the 1968 granddaddy of the modern zombie genre. The frights conclude with “Eyes Without a Face” (5:15 a.m.), a 1959 French film that should scare anybody away from cosmetic surgery.

• Perhaps the most terrifying prospect appears on the Hallmark Channel, embarking on a 1,300-hour Christmas movie countdown, starting tonight with the 2011 bauble “A Princess for Christmas” (8 p.m.), starring Katie McGrath and Roger Moore.

CULT CHOICE Made for roughly $30,000

by Herk Harvey, a director of short educational films, the 1962 shocker “Carnival of Souls” (4:45 p.m., TCM) remains one of the odder and creepier films of all time, and an inspiration to independent filmmakers for more than a half-century.

JEFF MACNELLY’S SHOE

Past abuse causes present shame for husband DEAR ABBY — A couple of years ago, I was arrested for domestic violence against my wife. We are still married, Dear Abby but since then, I have ABIGAIL become antiVAN BUREN social.

I don’t like to go to public gatherings where I know the friends we used to hang out with will be, and I rarely communicate with them. I am extremely embarrassed and feel they are judging me. What do I do?

Antisocial in Ohio DEAR ANTISOCIAL — Stop hiding.

You aren’t “antisocial”; you are

ashamed of what you did — and that’s a GOOD thing.

Many abusers lack that capacity, and because of it they are unable to change their behavior.

I assume that after your arrest, you received counseling and have been able to find outlets other than violence for your frustrations. If you have, let your friends know about it.

True friends won’t judge you — and people who do are not friends.

DEAR ABBY — During a conversation with my daughter “Jessica,” who is a graduate student, I mentioned that one of her teenage cousins who attends a nearby university is getting poor grades. Jessica replied that she wasn’t surprised.

She said she knows her cousin

drinks and parties a lot. Jessica went on to say that “Kristin” asked her to buy liquor for her once, but she refused.

My daughter asked me not to tell my brother and sister-inlaw what she said because she felt it would be betraying a confidence. I’m unsure what to do. On one hand, I know underage drinking is common.

On the other, I would feel horrible if anything bad happened as a result of my silence.

Should I tip them off or keep my mouth shut?

Torn in Idaho DEAR TORN — Ask yourself this: If the situation were reversed and the girl with the problem were your daughter, wouldn’t you want to be told? If the answer is yes, then notify your brother and sister-in-law.

COMMENTARY

A referendum on competence W

ASHINGTON — Is this election really about nothing? Democrats might like to think so, but it’s not.

First, like all U.S. elections, it’s about the economy. The effect of the weakest recovery in two generations is reflected in President Obama’s 13-point underwater ratings for his handling of the economy.

Moreover, here is a president who proclaims the reduction of inequality to be the great cause of his administration. Yet it has radically worsened in his six years. The 1 percent are doing splendidly in the Fed-fueled stock market, even as median income has fallen.

Second is the question of competence. The list of disasters is long, highlighted by the Obamacare rollout, the Veterans Affairs scandal and the pratfalls of the once-lionized Secret Charles Krauthammer Service. Beyond mere incompetence is government intrusiveness and corruption, as in the overreach of national security surveillance and IRS targeting of politically disfavored advocacy groups.

Ebola has crystallized the collapse of trust in state authorities. The overstated assurances, the ever-changing protocols, the startling contradictions — the Army quarantines soldiers returning from West Africa while the White House denounces governors who did precisely the same with returning health care workers — have undermined government in general, this government in particular.

Obama’s clumsy attempt to restore confidence by appointing an Ebola czar has turned farcical. When the next crisis broke — a doctor home from West Africa develops Ebola after having traversed significant parts of New York City between his return and his infection — the czar essentially disappeared. Perhaps he is practicing self-quarantine.

But there’s a third factor contributing to the nation’s deepening anxiety — a sense of helplessness and confusion abroad as, in the delicate phrase of our secretary of defense, “the world is exploding all over.”

Most voters don’t care about the details of Ukraine, the factions in Libya or the precise battle lines of the Islamic State. But they do have a palpable sense of American weakness.

This was brought home most profoundly by the videotaped beheadings of James Foley and Steven Sotloff. It wasn’t just the savagery that affected so many Americans but the contempt shown by these savages for America — its power, its resolve. Here is a JV team (Obama’s erstwhile phrase) defying the world’s great superpower, daring it to engage, confident that America will fail or flee.

Obama got a ratings bump when he finally bestirred himself to order airstrikes and vowed to “degrade and ultimately destroy” the Islamic State. Yet almost two months

‘The stage is set for a major Republican victory. If they cannot pull it off under conditions so politically favorable, perhaps they might consider looking for another line of work.’

later, there is a realization that the disorganized, halfhearted, ad hoc U.S. reaction has made little difference. The vaunted 60-country coalition is nowhere to be seen. The barbarians are even closer to the gate.

Moreover, U.S. flailing is not just demoralizing at home. It is energizing the very worst people abroad. Being perceived as what Osama bin Laden called the “strong horse” is, for a messianic movement on the march, the ultimate recruiting tool.

Will this affect the election?

While there is widespread dissatisfaction with the administration’s handling of the Islamic State, in most races it has not risen to the level of major campaign issue. Its principal effect is to reinforce an underlying, pre-existing sense of drift and disarray.

The anemic economy, the revulsion with governmental incompetence and the sense of national decline are, taken together, exacting a heavy toll on Democratic candidates.

After all, they represent not just the party now in government but the party of government.

This portends a bad night for Democrats on Tuesday.

State-by-state polls show continued Democratic control of the Senate to be highly tenuous.

With one caveat. Democrats could make it up with the so-called ground game (i.e., getting out the vote on Election Day) that polls do not measure. Just a fraction of the unprecedented success the Democrats enjoyed in 2012 in identifying and turning out their voters (especially young, female and minority) could shift the results by one or two points. That, in turn, could tilt several of the knife-edge, margin-of-error Senate races in their favor and transform what would otherwise be a Republican sweep into something of a stalemate.

This could happen. More likely, however, is that the ground-game differential is minor, in which case the current disenchantment — with disorder and diminishment — simply overwhelms the governing Democrats.

The stage is set for a major Republican victory. If they cannot pull it off under conditions so politically favorable, perhaps they might consider looking for another line of work.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR YATES CARES ABOUT ENTIRE SUMTER COMMUNITY Colleen Yates and I have been friends since the early ‘70s when she and I chaired a “Clean up Sumter” committee.

She has a reputation of being a hard worker and caring for the total Sumter community. You have the opportunity to elect her again for city council. We need more women in government.

Although we have moved to Columbia, I keep in touch with my family and friends here.

Vote for my friend Colleen Yates.

FRANCES FINNEY Columbia

YATES UNDERSTANDS WORKINGS OF SUMTER CITY GOVERNMENT From the day that Colleen Yates arrived in Sumter as the new dietitian at Tuomey Regional Medical Center, she has been one of our community’s most active and dedicated citizens, both as a volunteer and as an elected official. Because her accomplishments are so numerous, I could not begin to talk about all of them and stay within The Sumter Item’s word limit for letters to the editor.

My focus here, then, is Colleen’s abiding interest in neighborhoods, particularly those in the older, established areas of Sumter.

Colleen understands that no community can be strong unless the neighborhoods that make up that community are strong, and she has worked tirelessly to help strengthen neighborhoods throughout Sumter. She has been a champion for “intelligent progress”: growing the city’s economic base while maintaining our historic resources. She was instrumental in gaining “Local Historic District” designation for the Hampton Park neighborhood and later led the formation of the Heart of Sumter Neighborhood Association. She also works closely with the North Main Street Neighborhood Association. As further evidence of her commitment to the preservation of Sumter’s historic resources, she led efforts to renovate the Sumter Opera House.

Her previous service as a member of Sumter City Council and as mayor pro tem have given her knowledge and understanding of the workings of city government. She knows how to get things done and has demonstrated the ability to work cooperatively with other elected officials for the betterment of our entire community.

Her experience with, understanding of and dedication to Sumter make her the leading choice to represent residents of Ward 4 on Sumter City Council, and I encourage my fellow residents to vote “Colleen Yates” on Nov. 4.

CONTINUE MARCH TOWARD EXCELLENCE

BY VOTING IN FAVOR OF PENNY TAX Voters who believe in common sense in government budgeting and civic responsibility should vote for the penny sales tax.

The last time the Sumter community voted for the penny we got the infrastructure necessary to bring in Continental Tire the Americas with its many jobs, a recreation center benefiting the youth of Sumter County as well as our restaurants and hotels, and a courthouse which is a beautiful and practical asset.

Now, just like county council members promised, the penny is coming off unless we voters see fit to renew it.

The current county council feels that our community still has needs which must be met for us to continue to progress economically as well as in our quality of life and our civic infrastructure.

Exercising common sense in government budgeting, council got input from a group of residents from across our community as to what needs should be on the project list.

This list should be studied as a whole rather than being picked apart by critics.

Sumter can continue its march toward excellence by voting for the penny tax. We can have the community we want to have, but just as there’s no free lunch, there are no free roads or other community assets either. If we want them, we must be willing to pay for them. We should not sit back and wait on Washington or Columbia to take care of us. We must do this for ourselves. That’s called civic responsibility.

WALTER G. NEWMAN Sumter

HELP SUMTER CONTINUE TO PROSPER

BY VOTING FOR PENNY TAX Support Sumter’s continued growth with a vote of “yes” on Tuesday, Nov. 4. The penny sales tax is not an additional tax; it is a renewal of the current tax. The designated projects do not just enhance our community; they are necessary to maintain our emergency systems, infrastructure and our quality of life. Without the penny sales tax, the ballfields at Patriot Park would not exist. Think about how many groups travel into our community each weekend to use the park, shop in our stores, eat in our restaurants and stay in our hotels. Personally, I would much rather share the tax burden with those who visit rather than have an increase in my car or property tax. Please vote “yes” at the polls and help Sumter continue to prosper.

MISTY HATFIELD Sumter

A VOTE FOR THE PENNY TAX IS A VOTE TO ADD MORE DEBT Today I looked at Sumter County’s list of the existing Penney for Progress items.

I discovered that of the list of 16 projects, only three projects were paid in full and that $19.5-plus million has yet to be paid in order complete the remaining 13 projects.

It appears to me that to renew the penny tax will be adding existing debt to more future debt.

Therefore I cannot vote for the foolishness of adding debt to more debt. It reminds me of a person who has a credit card paying the minimum each month while continuing to charge more than minimum each month. If he thinks he is reducing his card balance he has a few less marbles than a full bag.

If the penny tax vote fails (which I hope it does), how/who will pay for the existing $19.5-plus million debt?

Please vote no on Tuesday.

KENT DOELING Sumter EDITOR’S NOTE: According to Sumter County sources, the current Penny for Progress campaign has 16 project categories with 59 total projects. Forty-one of the 59 projects have been completed, and the remaining 18 are at various levels of completion. To date, about $54 million of the $69 million has been collected, and the remaining dollars are expected to be collected by the May 2016 end date.

PREP FOOTBALL

SHS focuses on ‘2-game season’ beginning with Conway

BY DENNIS BRUNSON dennis@theitem.com Sumter High School football head coach John Jones said he and his Gamecocks aren’t concerning themselves with what has to happen to secure a berth in the 4A Division I state playoffs or when it could happen.

“It’s a 2-game season for us,” Jones said. “We’re worried about Conway, and then we’ll get ready for next week.”

SHS will be on the road today to face the Tigers. It will be Sumter’s second

straight game played in Horry County, and it is no doubt hoping for the same result, especially on offense.

The Gamecocks defeatJONES ed Carolina Forest 63-41 as Shrine Bowl wide receiver Ky’Jon Tyler rushed for three touchdowns, caught 10 passes for 236 yards and two TDs and returned a kickoff for a touchdown. He finished with 473 yards of total offense.

Jones was also pleased with the play of his defense, pointing out that much

of the second half was played with reserves.

“I feel like we’ve played pretty good on both sides of the ball the last two weeks,” said Jones, whose team beat West Florence 17-7 two weeks ago and is now 5-4 overall and 2-1 in Region VI4A. “We moved the ball really well against West Florence, but we didn’t take advantage of all of our opportunities. Everyone talks about the 41 points, but the starters only gave up 21 and seven of those were questionable (on an interception).”

As far as securing a playoff berth,

the Gamecocks can do that today. It needs a victory over Conway and for Carolina Forest to beat West Florence.

That would make SHS 3-1 in the region and Conway, Carolina Forest and West Florence all 1-3. Sumter would finish no worse than third in the region, meaning it would have garnered an automatic berth.

Of course, the Gamecocks are still hoping for a region title and that could happen depending on what happens between Socastee and South Florence

Endless possibilities MHS gets final shot to make case for playoffs

the playoffs. Our kids know that and our coaches know that.

“We’re focused on winning and trying to get that third seed.”

Both teams are coming off losses. Lakewood fell to Hartsville 56-21 while Crestwood dropped a 14-6 decision to Manning. Missed opportunities and miscues were the themes of the night.

“What they run is hard to simulate in practice,” Parks said. “But we still had about 360 yards of offense. We just left a lot of points out there.

We were in the red zone our

“Another opportunity.”

That’s what Manning High School head football coach Tony Felder said his team has today when it plays host to Marlboro County in its regular-season finale at Ramsey Stadium.

It’s another opportunity — though a long shot — for the Monarchs to work their way into the 3A state playoffs. This opportunity comes FELDER because Manning beat Crestwood 14-6 last week when a loss would have ended any playoff hopes.

“Our kids are excited about the possibilities,” said Felder, whose squad is 4-5 overall and 1-3 in Region VI. “To see where we’ve come from to where we are and the obstacles we’ve faced; this is a challenge, and we’ve given ourselves something to play for.”

The Monarchs still have an outside chance of securing the No. 3 spot in the region, which brings with it an automatic berth into the state playoffs.

They would have to beat Marlboro (4-5 overall, 3-1 region), have Crestwood (1-3 region) beat Lakewood (2-2 region) and Hartsville (4-0 region) beat Darlington (1-3 region). That would leave Manning, Crestwood and Lakewood tied for third at 2-3.

It would then come down to a tiebreaker. Since the teams would have split games with each other if Crestwood beats

That’s the simple formula for Lakewood High School on Friday. A victory over rival Crestwood at J. Frank Baker Stadium at 7:30 p.m. seals the No. 3 seed for the Gators in Region VI-3A. Things aren’t so cut and dry for the Knights win or lose – or for Lakewood if it falls as well.

or Knights secure the fourth seed, they could still wind up on the outside looking in.

“We feel like with the games we’ve played and the teams we’ve played against, we should be fine (with points),” LHS head coach Perry Parks said. “But we don’t want to leave it up to anybody else. We want to take care of business on Friday night.

“But the flip side of that is Crestwood needs the win, too, so it’s going to be a hard-fought game on both sides.”

The Gators enter the contest 5-4 overall and 2-2 in the region while the Knights are 1-8 and 1-3. Darlington and Manning are also 1-3 in region play, but have top seeds Hartsville and Marlboro County, respectively, to contend with.

“It’s definitely a playoff mentality for us,” Crestwood head coach Roosevelt Nelson said. “This is basically a play-in game for us. We have to win to (increase) our chances of making it into

New dynasty: San Francisco captures 3rd title in 5 years with 3-2 victory over KC

BY JANIE MCCAULEY The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — Bruce Bochy is crazy superstitious.

It’s a little-known fact about the unflappable San Francisco Giants manager.

Mere mention of anything about a dynasty during the World Series made him uncomfortable. He felt equally uneasy when his name got linked to the best skippers of all-time — those Hall of Famers he well could join someday.

Bochy doesn’t have to worry about a jinx now. After win-

ning its third championship in five seasons, the new label for his team looks as if it will stick.

BOCHY “Dynasty” blared the front page of the San Francisco Chronicle on Thursday.

The Giants closed it out with a 3-2 win in Game 7 at Kansas City on Wednesday night, sealed by Series MVP Madison Bumgarner’s five shutout innings as a reliever this time.

“A lot has to go right. First off, it starts with the talent,”

Bochy said. “I mean, you need that, which we have. Then you have to deal with a lot of things maybe during the season. Every manager says, ‘Hey, we’re fine, we have a good chance to get there if we stay healthy.’ But that doesn’t always happen.”

In a remarkable every-other-year pattern, San Francisco somehow finds its best form in even years. With new faces and old ones, with castoffs and misfits and some key midTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS season acquisitions.

MIX FROM PAGE B1 first three possessions, but only came away with seven points.

“We have to do a better job of that against Crestwood.”

The Knights’ defense will make it tough. Crestwood’s D has given up under 30 points in five of its last seven games and under 20 in three of them.

“We’re just playing solid fundamental football right now,” Nelson said. “We’re boxing everything inside and making tackles and keeping everything in front of us.”

That will be easier said than done this week against the Gators offense.

Lakewood is averaging 28.3 points per game and has dual-threat quarterback in Roderick Charles.

Charles has thrown for 1,169 yards and 12 touchdowns while rushing for 766 yards and nine scores.

The Gators also have a pair of 300-yard receivers and a running back on the brink of a 1,000-yard season.

“We’ve got to keep him in front of us and not give up the big plays,” Nelson said. “He’s going to get his plays, but we have to con-

If Lakewood wins…

Lakewood is No. 3 seed for playoffs.

If Darlington wins and Manning loses, Falcons are No. 4 seed. If Manning wins and Darlington loses, Monarchs are No. 4 seed. Either team would then enter 3A playoff points pool.

If Darlington and Manning both win, Darlington is No. 4 seed based on win over Manning and enters 3A playoff points pool.

If Darlington and Manning both lose, No. 4 seed goes to Crestwood based on fewest points allowed amongst the three teams against each other. The Knights allowed 26 points, the Monarchs 28 and the Falcons 41.

If Crestwood wins...

Crestwood is No. 3 seed if both Darlington and Manning also lose.

Lakewood earns No. 4 seed and enters 3A playoff points pool.

Crestwood is the No. 3 seed if Darlington wins and Manning loses based on the Knights’ victories over the Falcons and Gators. Lakewood becomes the No. 4 seed based on win over Darlington and enters 3A playoff points pool.

If Manning wins, the No. 3 seed would be determined by which team allowed the fewest points in games played amongst the three. If it’s Manning, Crestwood would get the fourth seed based on win over Lakewood. If it’s Lakewood, Manning would get the fourth seed based on win over Crestwood.

Should four teams finish with identical 2-2 records, Crestwood would get the No. 3 seed. The Gators and Knights would both be 2-1 in games between the four and Manning and Darlington 1-2. Crestwood gets the nod because of victory over Gators. Lakewood then earns the No. 4 seed based on points allowed between the remaining three teams.

LHS allowed 22, Darlington 43 and Manning 62.

Note: Playoff points system is based on games/victories against teams from all four classifications plus overall W-L records of those teams. The four No. 4 seeds from the lower state will have total points matched up against each other for at-large bids for the playoffs.

GIANTS FROM PAGE B1 three championships in a five-year span. The last National League team to do it was the St. Louis Cardinals with Stan Musial from 194246, so the Giants are the first of the free-agency era.

The Oakland Athletics won three straight crowns in the early 1970s, and the New York Yankees captured four in five years from 1996-2000.

Still, San Francisco was never considered a favorite or the best team in the regular season any of these times.

Twice in this stretch, the Giants missed the playoffs altogether.

After a runner-up finish in the NL West to the Dodgers at 88-74, they took the wildcard card route this time.

On Wednesday night, Tim Hudson became a champion after a 16-year wait and Michael Morse got there following 10 major league seasons.

“It’s the greatest group of guys I ever played with,” Morse said. “It’s a group of guys who believe in each other and the outcome was a World Series victory.”

This city has had a football dynasty. So now the storied baseball franchise is doing its best to catch up with the NFL team in town. The Niners ruled in the late ‘80s and ‘90s, winning five Super Bowls.

A unique element for Bochy’s latest winning roster is the talented crop of homegrown players who made it happen.

There are the big names —

Bumgarner, Buster Posey, Pablo Sandoval. And the emerging ones — Brandon Belt, Brandon Crawford, Joe Panik.

“You look at most of our team — like Joe, me, Buster, Pablo, Belt, Bum. It’s loaded with a lot of good players and a lot of players who are pretty similar in kind of their approach to the game and they’re pretty even-keel,” said Crawford, the shortstop.

“Pablo’s a little bit different but me, Joe, Belt, Bum, Buster, we’re all pretty levelheaded at any point in the game whatever part of the season it is, whether it’s playoffs or midway through the regular season. We don’t really change. That says a lot with how well we’ve done in the playoffs and the postseason in recent years,” he said.

“Nothing’s really too big for us,” he added.

Eight players have been on all three winning World Series teams: Bumgarner, slugging third baseman Sandoval, Posey and relievers Jeremy Affeldt, Javier Lopez, Santiago Casilla, Sergio Romo and Tim Lincecum.

Matt Cain, too, but he was hurt this year.

General manager Brian Sabean, longest-tenured in baseball, can’t put a finger on why the mix keeps working.

He is proud of the core of players who were drafted and came through the system and played such a huge part this time.

SHS FROM PAGE B1 today and Sumter and Socastee and South Florence and West Florence next week.

Sumter will again be without leading rusher Russell Jenkins. However, it did OK last week as it rushed for 366 yards. Of course, Tyler had 156 and the three scores

MHS FROM PAGE B1 Lakewood, it would come down to the fewest points allowed in games against each other. This is where the long shot comes in for Manning; since it lost to Lakewood 41-0 and gave up six points to Crestwood, Manning has allowed 47 points.

To earn the No. 3 seed, the Monarchs would need Crestwood to score at least 48 points on Lakewood and give up at least 34.

There is not an automatic berth that comes with finishing fourth in lower state regions V, VI, VII and VIII. Instead, the three teams with the highest points totals from the 3A points systems will earn at-large berths. This is more likely the path that would get

tain him and not give up quick scores.”

One way to do that will be fixing the turnover problems that have plagued the Knights for most of the season. Add that to penalties and CHS has had trouble maintaining drives.

The Gator defense has allowed just 23.3 points per game this season, though, and has allowed an average of 20.5 the last five games even with Hartsville’s 56 points added in.

“We really want to play that blue-collar defense like we’ve had this season,” Parks said. “Everyone has to do their job and stay on their assignments.

They’ve obviously got a tremendous running back in Ty’Son Williams, but they’ve got a number of skill players who can hurt you too, including the quarterback.

“So we’ve got play up to our capabilities because I don’t think it’s going to be easy for either team.”

“It’s a testament to player development and scouting.

That’s what we all hope for, that you can plug your holes from within and build your team from within,” Sabean said. “That’s a surefire way to kind of keep things moving forward. It prevents you from having to go into the market, whether it’s free agency or more so the trade market.”

The Giants survived skids in June and September before winning the wild-card game at Pittsburgh. They then beat Washington in the Division Series and St. Louis in the NL Championship series.

It has started with Bochy and his spot-on decision making, from resting the relievers regularly early in the season so he’d have every one of them for the October run, to going with Bumgarner at every chance.

“But you have to play good baseball for six months, whatever, to get there,” Bochy said. “Once you get there, you’ve heard guys say, ‘Well, it’s a crap shoot,’ but you have to play your best ball. You have to have the pitching. That’s obvious. But you’ve got to execute.”

For the Giants, it’s about every player doing his part and serving a role, because, as Sabean puts it, “We don’t have a star system here.”

“It’s everybody’s got to pull on the same chain and everybody’s got to be ready to play,” he said. “They understand the culture.”

on just three carries, but Deonte Lowery had 96 yards and a score on nine carries and Rodney Pittts had 51 yards on eight carries.

Conway is 2-7 on the season and 1-2 in region play. The Tigers own a 28-20 victory over Socastee; it is sandwiched in between a 27-13 loss to West Florence and a 41-0 defeat at the hands of South Florence last week.

Manning into the playoffs.

Beating Marlboro will not be an easy task. Stopping the Bulldogs all starts with slowing down quarterback London Johnson, a threat both running and throwing the football.

“We should go in there singing, ‘London Bridge Is Falling Down’ because that’s what we need to happen,” Felder joked. “We’ve got to find a way to slow him down.”

The Monarchs will actually be going with their fourth quarterback since the start of fall practice in Quinn Hipp. Manning lost starter Donny Baker when he moved a couple of weeks before the season; Tommy King is out with an injury and Greg Cantey has been removed due to team viola-

tions.

Felder is hoping for a big game from running back Ra’Quan Bennett, who has rushed for over 1,000 yards.

“Our best defense would be to control the ball,” Felder said. “It would be nice if we can run the football really well, take some time off the clock and keep the ball out of their hands.”

SPORTS ITEMS

JV Gamecocks rout Tigers Cooper no gimmick, The Sumter High junior varsity football team got touchdowns from five different players en route to a 38-6 victory over Conway on Thursday at Sumter Memorial Stadium.

Michael Taylor and Hunter Ferabee each had 8-yard touchdown runs while Zykiem Jackson added a 5-yard run.

CK Rembert caught a 62-yard TD pass from Alec Brumback while Cooper Mota returned an interception 27 yards for a score.

Brixton Niehbur connected on a 25-yard field and was 5-for-5 in PATs. John Butler led the Gamecocks defense in tackles and had five sacks. Keon Poole also had five sacks, blocked a punt and had a fumble recovery.

Sumter travels to Socastee next Thursday.

LAKEWOOD 27 CRESTWOOD 6

DALZELL – Maleek Bradely scored the lone touchdown for the JV Knights, who fell to rival Lakewood 27-6 on Thursday at Donald L. Crolley Memorial Stadium in Dalzell.

Crestwood finishes the season at 1-9.

AP SOURCE: HARDY’S APPEAL TRIAL POSTPONED

CHARLOTTE — A person familiar with the situation says Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy’s domestic violence appeal trial set for Nov. 17 has been postponed until after the NFL season, meaning his career with Carolina could be over.

The person said the new trial date has not been set.

The person told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday because the decision has not been publicly announced.

The Panthers placed Hardy on the exempt-commissioner’s permission list on Sept. 17 after being convicted in July of assault on a female and communicating threats.

GAMECOCKS’ LEADING TACKLER OUT FOR TENNESSEE GAME

COLUMBIA — South Carolina’s leading tackler Skai Moore won’t play against Tennessee because of an ankle injury.

Gamecocks defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward said Thursday that sophomore linebacker Moore would miss the game with the Vols (3-5, 0-4 Southeastern Conference) on Saturday night.

Moore was the team’s top

rather Gamecocks’ best offensive weapon

tackler a year ago as a freshman and was leading the Gamecocks (4-4, 2-4) with 51 stops this season.

Ward said Jonathan Walton would step in to start in Moore’s place with T.J. Holloman as the back. The coordinator also said reserve safety Kadetrix Marcus would miss the Tennessee game with a shoulder sprain.

NFL SEEKS TO DISMISS EX-PLAYERS’ PAINKILLERS SUIT

SAN FRANCISCO — The National Football League on Thursday asked a judge to toss out a lawsuit filed by former players who allege team officials gave them powerful painkillers and other drugs to keep them on the field without regard for their long-term health.

The NFL’s lawyer argued that the NFL is not responsible for the medical decisions of its 32 teams. The lawyer also said that the issue should be addressed by the players union, which negotiated a collective bargaining agreement that covers player health.Already qualified for the finals, second-seeded Roger Federer easily beat French qualifier Lucas Pouille 6-4, 6-4 and will next take on Milos Raonic.

From staff, wire reports

COLUMBIA — Pharoh Cooper’s most talked-about play last weekend wasn’t one he made with his feet, but his arm.

South Carolina’s do-everything runner and receiver took the ball from Damiere Byrd on a double-reverse, and then lofted a picture-perfect pass to quarterback Dylan Thompson for a 14-yard gain to the Auburn 20.

It was ThompCOOPER son’s first career reception, and the fourth collegiate pass attempt ever for Cooper, who threw for nearly 3,000 yards as a quarterback his senior year at Havelock High School in North Carolina.

“We ran that play in practice a couple of times, and coaches said we were going to hit it, and (head coach Steve Spurrier) called it,” Cooper said. “It was really a fun play.

It worked out perfect.”

As dazzling as that little bit of trickery might have been, though, it was hardly Cooper’s biggest play in the 42-35 loss.

No, that might have been when he leapt over Auburn safety Nick Ruffin to haul in a 16-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. Or when he cut in front of linebacker Robenson Therezie on a slant route, snagged a high throw from Thompson in stride, and ran away for a 51-yard score.

These days, it can be difficult to tell. The dynamic sophomore isn’t some gimmick player who can run, pass, and catch — he’s evolved into the best receiver on a USC team on pace for a record-setting season throwing the ball, and his seven-catch, 127-yard effort against No. 4 Auburn entrenched him firmly among the upper echelon of receivers in the SEC. Cooper now stands third in the league in receiving yards, trailing only Alabama’s Amari Cooper and LSU’s Travin Dural.

“Pharoh is a talent. We all know that,” Spurrier said.

“And a wonderful young man.

You don’t worry about him getting full of himself or anything like that. He’s tough. He fights for every yard. He’s not one of those guys who runs out of bounds about three yards, five yards ahead of the defenders like some of our guys do.”

RICHARD T. MONTEITH JR. WAKE FOREST, North Carolina — Richard Taylor “Dick” Monteith Jr. died on Oct. 28, 2014, after a long battle with heart muscle disease.

Dick was mayor of Wake Forest, a longtime Raleigh businessman, a commercial real estate broker, an advocate for economic development, an active Rotarian, and a loving husband, father and grandfather.

Dick served as mayor of Wake Forest from 1993 to 1997.

During his term, the population of Wake Forest doubled and the tax base quadrupled.

Dick facilitated the merger of the Wake Forest Cultural Arts Association with the United Arts Council of Wake County, which produced funding for the popular “Six Sundays in Spring” concert series which was begun during his term.

Funding was found for a “Camp I Can” for less fortunate children in town. Dick helped secure the final funding for the Senior Citizens’ Center and led the town to donate its existing library building to Wake County in order to obtain a new larger, modern library for the town. At the end of his term, he was awarded special recognition by the Chamber of Commerce for his contribution to economic development. He continued this effort by serving on the Wake County Economic Development Commission for 12 years.

Dick and his wife, Janet, founded Monteith Travel Service in 1983 and built it into a three office chain with annual sales exceeding $5 million.

After the sale of the travel business in 1997, Dick began a career as a commercial real estate broker. Dick brokered deals which created Capital Commerce Plaza, Wake Forest’s first major retail center, and numerous residential developments.

Dick was president of the Rotary Club of Wake Forest,

assistant district governor, a charter member of the Paul Harris Society, and served in a number of other Rotary efforts, including chairing two different district conferences.

Dick served as the district governor’s special representative for the founding of the new Wakefield / Wake Forest Rotary Club. In 2009, the Rotary Club of Wake Forest named Dick as their “Rotarian of the Year.” Dick was awarded the Rotary Foundation’s Major Donor Award in 2013.

Before moving to Wake Forest, Dick worked as an economic analyst in Washington, D.C., and was the owner-operator, along with his first wife, of a successful Hallmark shop.

Dick traveled widely, having visited Europe and the Caribbean countries including a special trip to Cuba with a Habitat for Humanity exploratory team. He was an avid reader and published more than 100 book reviews, wrote several journal and newspaper articles, many poems and short stories, as well as the novel “Journeys Home: Choices that Faced the Boomer Generation.”

His children remember the many provocative op-ed articles and journal pieces that he emailed to them asking, “What do you think?” and all remember the freewheeling debates, poetry readings and discussions that he moderated over when all were gathered around the dinner table.

Dick was preceded in death by his parents, Richard and Ruth Monteith of Sumter; his first wife, Peggy Robbins Monteith; and a sister, Annette Brunson.

In 1981, Dick met a young widow, Janet Snow Mote, and the two were married and moved to Wake Forest. There they adopted each others’ children and together raised three children, Kathy Monteith Otten of Hillsborough, New Hampshire, Dr. Theresa Monteith Johnson of Morehead City, North Carolina, and Andrew Alderman Monteith of Matthews, North Carolina. Dick and Janet have seven grandchildren, who lovingly called them “DD” and “JJ.” Dick is also survived by two sisters, Elizabeth Burke of Dalzell and Grace Pack of Lake City, Arkansas.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 6, at St. John’s Episcopal Church, Wake Forest, and the family will receive friends following the service.

In lieu of flowers, the family would like to request that contributions be made in Dick’s honor to the Rotary Club of Wake Forest Foundation, c/o Rotary Club of Wake Forest, P.O. Box 1126, Wake Forest, NC 27588 or to the Capital Campaign Fund at St. John’s Episcopal Church, P.O. Box 608, Wake Forest, NC 27588.

A private family burial will be held at St. John’s Episcopal Church Columbarium.
