Shut down Locked down Hundreds of Shaw workers sent home, services reduced BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com
‘Even though it’s unfortunate our civilian teammates have been furloughed, we’re going to maintain our readiness and continue to fly.’
For the last three days, Washington’s shutdown showdown has sent home about 350 civilian employees at Shaw Air Force Base, causing the closure of services considered nonessential to the base’s defense mission. The 20th Fighter Wing and Third Army, along with the rest of the U.S. military, continue to operate as normal during the shutdown, and Congress ensured service members’ pay would be unaffected by the federal government shutdown. But the ongoing standoff on Capitol Hill is having its effect on Sumter all the same. “Our overall activities are reduced,” said Lt. Earon Brown, deputy public affairs chief with the 20th Fighter Wing. “But the demand for air power remains the same.” On the first day of the shutdown Tuesday, Col. Clay Hall, commander of the 20th Fighter Wing, posted a letter addressed to “Team Shaw” on the base’s Facebook page outlining the ef-

BY BRADEN BUNCH bbunch@theitem.com ALCOLU — In a way, Phoenix Charter High School is facing the threat of becoming a victim of its own success. Established in 1999, over the years the charter school has become a destination for high school students primarily in Clarendon School District 2 but also for several other students in other surrounding districts, either in danger of not graduating on time or dropping out of school entirely. Located in the old Alcolu Elementary School building, Phoenix has taken a learning environment that stresses smaller class sizes, more oneon-one instruction and, according to several of the students, a sense of family, and led more than 300 students to earn their high school diploma. “We have students

And while the school’s commencement ceremonies, according to several Clarendon School District 2 trustees as well as superintendent John Tindal, were one of the highlights of the year for the school district, it also left Phoenix High with a much lower-thannormal attendance heading into this school year. Phoenix has a charter that can accept up to 60 students and in the past has not only reached that capacity, but also has had to apply for waivers to accept even more students. To start the 201314 school year, however, Phoenix had about two dozen students enrolled, far lower than it needs to SEE PHOENIX, PAGE A4

From staff reports
Mother accused of drug use during pregnancy A new mother is accused of smoking marijuana during her pregnancy. Sonya Leigh Tidwell, 28, of 4100 Broad St., was arrested Wednesday and charged with unlawful neglect of a child. Tidwell TIDWELL was reported to the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office by the Department of Social Services on Aug. 29 when Tidwell’s newborn baby reportedly tested positive for marijuana at Tuomey Regional Medical Center. According to the arrest warrant, Tidwell smoked marijuana “continually” during her pregnancy between Nov. 1, 2012, and Aug. 27, 2013, which put the child at an “unreasonable risk of harm.” It did not say who now has custody of the child.
FTC adds towers in Lee County FTC has recently completed two cellular tower construction projects and is near completion on a third new tower. Construction included the addition of new 3G-ready cellular towers in Bishopville and Lee State Park with the third nearing completion in St. Charles. The Bishopville tower was activated in early August to provide additional coverage and capacity to the town of Bishopville. It is located behind Sparrow and Kennedy Tractor Company. The Lee State Park tower was activated in July to enhance coverage on the eastern side of Bishopville and is located off Lee State Park Road on Dubose Backwoods Road. The St. Charles tower is set to be activated in October. Located near the junction of St. Charles Highway and Big George Road, the tower will provide enhanced coverage to the rural areas in this section of Lee County.

Shutdown jeopardizes nutrition program for poor ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Jacob Quick is a fat and happy 4-month-old with a big and expensive appetite. His mother, like millions of other poor women, relies on the federal Women, Infants and Children program to pay for infant formula — aid that is now jeopardized by the government shutdown. Pennsylvania and other states say they can operate WIC at least through the end of October, easing fears among officials that it would run out of money within days. But advocates and others worry what will happen if the shutdown drags on beyond that. “What’s going to happen to my baby?” asked Jacob’s mother, Cierra Schoeneberger, as she fed him a bottle of formula bought with her WIC voucher. “Am I going to have to feed him regular milk, or am I going to have to scrounge up the little bit of change I do have for formula or even baby food?” WIC serves nearly 9 million mothers and young children, providing what advocates say is vital nutrition that poor families might otherwise be unable to afford. Schoeneberger, for example, said her son goes through about $40 worth of formula a week. “It’s like a car payment,” said the unemployed mother of three. The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for

Women, Infants and Children — better known as WIC — supplies low-income women with checks or debit cards that can be used for infant formula and cereal, fruits and vegetables, dairy items and other healthy food. WIC also provides breast-feeding support and nutrition classes. Poor women with children under 5 are eligible. Just before the shutdown, the U.S. Department of Agriculture had warned that states would run out of WIC cash after a “week or so.” Now the agency says WIC should be able to provide benefits through late October, with states using $100 million in federal contingency money released Wednesday and $280 million in unspent funds from the last budget year. If the aid dries up, desperate moms will probably dilute their babies’ formula with water to make it last longer, or simply give them water or milk, said the Rev. Douglas A. Greenaway, head of the National WIC Association, an advocacy group. Pediatricians say children under 1 shouldn’t drink cow’s milk because they can develop iron deficiency anemia. “These mothers have trust and confidence in this program, and that trust and confidence has been shaken by Congress,” Greenaway said. “This is just unconscionable.” Groups that fight hunger

say they are also concerned about the confusion that needy mothers may be feeling. Though most WIC offices are open, many mothers mistakenly assumed that benefits were cut off. Advocates are also worried that there will be a cumula-
tive effect as other, smaller government feeding programs run out of money. Adding to the uncertainty: While USDA has said that food stamps are guaranteed to continue through October, it is unclear what will happen after that.
S.C. Guard delays drills BY SUSANNE M. SCHAFER The Associated Press COLUMBIA — More than 60 of South Carolina’s Army National Guard units have been forced to delay their upcoming weekend training drills because of the partial government shutdown, officials said Thursday. But despite the turmoil in Washington, the state’s Air National Guard F-16 fighter wing still plans to take to the skies because it has to prepare for an upcoming deployment. Guard spokesman Sgt. 1st Class Joe Cashion said 67 Guard units scattered across the state were slated to drill this weekend. Instead, they are planning to push their drill exercises to the weekend of Oct. 19 and 20. “With a total of 11,000 soldiers and airmen in the S.C. National Guard, this is
a majority of those people,” Cashion said. The top Guard commander, Maj. Gen. Robert Livingston, and the Guard leadership determined it was best to delay this weekend’s schedule, he said. “If units do not drill in October because of the shutdown, they will add an additional drill day to upcoming drill weekends in the future to make up for it,” the spokesman said. Whether they are engineers, military police or logisticians, weekend drills for the citizen-soldiers are vital to keeping their military preparedness up to snuff. But since the 169th Fighter Wing based at McEntire Joint National Guard Base outside Eastover is preparing for an upcoming deployment, they are allowed to maintain their drill schedule, officials said.

Bishopville police warn of vehicle break-ins BY RANDY BURNS Special to The Item BISHOPVILLE — A rash of vehicle breakins was one of the topics of discussion at Tuesday’s Bishopville City Council meeting, according to Bishopville Police Chief Calvin Collins. “We’ve noticed an increase in the past five to six weeks,� Collins said. “It’s not happening every day, just every third or fourth day. And it’s all over Bishopville, not just in one area.� Eleven break-ins were recorded in September, he said. Most of the entries have occurred because a door was left unlocked, Collins said. “We’ve only had one instance where the window was broken,� he said. “All of the other times, they just opened the door.� Most break-ins have taken place in resident driveways, but one occurred in a church parking lot. There have been a range of items stolen including cellphones and other valuables left in the front seat or in purses. “We’ve even had three or four break-ins where nothing was stolen,� he said. “They ap-
parently didn’t find anything they wanted to take.� Collins said residents should be proactive. “The main thing is to be sure to lock your doors,� Collins said. “And don’t leave anything of value, like your purse, in plain sight. Keep a light on in the carport. And I also suggest you look into buying a motion detector that would let you know if someone is in your driveway.�
Collins said patrols have been stepped up. “I’ve been patrolling myself late at night,� he said. “We ask people to call Crime Stoppers if they have any information on these breakins. We all ask people to call us if there is any suspicious activity around their home.� Lee County Sheriff Daniel Simon said several vehicle break-ins occurred last week in the Cedar Creek community. “Typically, this time
of year — between August and October — you have an increase in these type of breakins,� Simon said. “And that’s all over the state. I really don’t know why.� Anyone with information on vehicle break-ins should contact Crime Stoppers at 1 (888)-CRIME-SC.

Phoenix Charter High School Principal Elease Fulton, below, says she feels cautiously optimistic that the school will be able to recruit enough students to remain open. According to Fulton, many teachers and students appreciate the one-on-one instruction opportunities available at the school.

PHOENIX from Page A1 generate the federal and state funding it needs to operate. And while attendance has seen a spike in the past two weeks of about an additional dozen students, Phoenix enrollment still sits in the mid-30s, below its target figure of 50 students. The 50-student figure becomes increasingly important as Oct. 22 approaches, for this marks the 45th day of school and the attendance figure used to calculate state funding. Should the school not reach 50 students by then, there are several options it will have to consider, including the possibility of closing. “We’re just hoping that we can keep the school helping young people graduate and move forward in their lives,� said the Rev. Michael Murdoch, chairman of the Phoenix
Charter High School board of directors, at a specially called meeting of the Clarendon 2 trustees. Later in the week, Fulton also expressed concerns about the near future of Phoenix. “I don’t want to overly alarm the kids, I don’t even want to overly alarm the parents about the closing scenario, but I’ve given them enough information for them to be able to conclude that if we don’t get to where we need to be, it’s not going to be a good thing for the school,� Fulton said. The irony, the principal pointed out, is that there’s a strong possibility that enrollment will be much higher toward the end of the year as students look for alternative choices to their current educational situation. “There’s a wide variety of reasons why (students) are here,� Fulton said. “We have some students here who are here because this truly is a last opportunity for them.� Several of the students at Phoenix said they were happy to be attending the small high school. “It’s a great school,� said Kevin Ragin, a senior who left Manning High for Phoenix, add-
ing the small class settings have aided him in his classwork. “It’s helped my grades. I can focus.� “You get what you need to get,� said Daishanor Hilton, a senior. “My grades are continually getting better, and my GPA keeps going up.� “I’d rather have people that inspire me to better my life than to be in a bigger environment where no one inspires me,� said Christian Herlong, also a senior. Fulton said while many parents like the idea of their children attending Phoenix, who for whatever reason are not succeeding in the traditional high school setting, sometimes the students themselves are not too interested in the idea at first. “Once they get here, they get to feeling, ‘Maybe I can do this,’� Fulton said. In addition, many students involved in extracurricular activities are afraid of no longer being able to participate in these programs, such as sports or band. However, Fulton said Phoenix and Manning High School have an agreement that allows the Phoenix students to participate on Monarch teams and
groups. There are other obstacles to recruiting students. Like other charter schools, the rural school isn’t able to provide transportation. Also, while the size of the school helps aid its students, the size also keeps Phoenix from being well known in the area. Fulton thinks despite these obstacles, actively trying to recruit these struggling students is key not only to the school remaining open, but also for the students themselves. “I honestly believe they would be dropouts if this school was not here,� Fulton said of many of the students that end up attending Phoenix. “In the setting they were in, for whatever reasons, their self-esteem had dropped to an alltime low.� At the recent district board meeting, school officials asked the district to consider extending Phoenix the finances to make it until the end of the semester should it not reach the attendance levels it needs and at least eliminate the possibility of the school having to close on Oct. 22. “Our children would lose if we’re forced to close so quickly,� Fulton said, adding that
many students would face the possibility of losing credits for the semester, as well as finding themselves having to almost immediately take the upcoming High School Assessment Program test in a new environment. Salaries and benefits alone for the nine employees at Phoenix, only four of which are full time, are about $21,000 a month. No decision was made on possible funding at the district meeting, but Fulton said she remains hopeful that the school will reach the numbers it needs and be able to survive both this year and into the future. “I’m feeling very optimistic about it,� Fulton said.

A growing number of options allow you to trade in your old phone for cash or credit so you can buy a new one. MORE CHOICES
Online site Gazelle.com helped pioneer the trend toward recouping cash on your old smart phone or other gadget.

Apple Inc., which had offered a trade-in program online, launched one at its stores in August. But if you’re looking to upgrade your smartphone, act quickly because resale values are dropping now that Apple’s new iPhones — 5C and 5S — have been on sale for several weeks. “Shoppers have a lot more options than ever before.

For example, Amazon will deposit a gift card into your account assuming it agrees with your assessment of “like new,� “good� or “acceptable.� If it doesn’t, then you can receive a gift card for a lower amount or have the gadget returned. One perk: Amazon just extended its lock-in program for trade-in values. That means you can create trade-in orders online but don’t have to send in the phone until you receive a new one, as long as you ship it by Oct. 31. At Gamestop, you can trade more than 600 devices at any of the GameStop’s 4,400 U.S. store locations. You can also get estimated values at http://gamestop.com/DeviceTrader. ALL THINGS IPHONE
Apple has perhaps one of the most stringent trade-in programs among retailers. Apple’s U.S. stores will now take working iPhones as old as its 3G model. But you will only be able to receive a gift card that must go toward the purchase of an iPhone on contract with a carrier. And you can’t trade in several phones at a time. Company officials declined to give price estimates, only saying that the prices depend on condition.
ONLINE VERSUS IN STORES
Doing trade-ins online may be more convenient than walking into a store. But remember you won’t know for sure how much you’ll get for your phone until the company checks it out and makes sure your assessment

From Associated Press reports
Report: More babies share parents’ beds despite SIDS risks CHICAGO (AP) — The government’s latest infant bed-sharing numbers show a troubling trend: The percentage of U.S. babies sleeping with parents or another child more than doubled since the early 1990s, despite public health messages linking the practice with sudden infant death syndrome. Nearly 14 percent of adults, mostly mothers, surveyed in 2010 said
their infants usually shared a bed, either with parents or another child, instead of sleeping alone in a crib. That was up from about 7 percent in 1993, and the increase was mainly among blacks and Hispanics. The practice had leveled off among whites after an increase in the 1990s. Bed sharing was most common among blacks; nearly one-third of those surveyed said their infants
usually shared a bed. “That’s a concern because we know that blacks are at increased risk for SIDS,� said study co-author Marian Willinger of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, which funded the study. “We want to eliminate as many risks as we can for everybody, particularly in that population where we’re seeing increasing disparities.�

the best price, The Associated Press found that redemption values varied, based on a spot check of trade-in programs for Apple iPhone 4S 32GB with AT&T service. During a check this week, Gazelle was offering $205 in cash for a flawless version and $195 for one in good condition. At Amazon, the gadget commanded $205 in “like new� condition and $187.75 in “good� condition. “Good� condition generally means the gadget works but may have limited signs of wear, such as a small scratch. Sometimes companies will offer other perks. Best Buy, for example, was giving out $50 gift cards with a trade-in and upgrade. CASH OR CREDIT?
Pavini says it’s often better to take store credit than cash because you will probably get more. In general, iPhones hold their value more than Android phones. Wal-Mart launched a smartphone trade program where you will receive a credit from $50 to $300 when you trade in your working, undamaged phone. That’s considered a good offer. But the credit must be used toward the purchase of a new phone, with a selection of more than 100 devices to choose from. And the trade-in has to be done at the same time you buy the new phone.

Who locked Johnny out of Yellowstone?
W
ASHINGTON — The Obamacare/ shutdown battle has spawned myriad myths. The most egregious concern the substance of the fight, the identity of the perpetrators and the origins of the current eruption. (1) Substance President Obama indignantly insists that GOP attempts to abolish or amend Obamacare are unseemly because it is “settled” law, having passed both houses of Congress, obtained his signature and passed muster with the Supreme Court. Yes, settledness makes for a strong argument — except from a president whose administration has unilaterally changed Obamacare five times after its passage, including, most brazenly, a yearlong suspension of the employer mandate. Article 1 of the Constitution grants the legislative power entirely to Congress. Charles Under what constitutional KRAUTHAMMER principle has Obama unilaterally amended the law? Yet when the House of Representatives undertakes a constitutionally correct, i.e., legislative, procedure for suspending the other mandate — the individual mandate — this is portrayed as some extra-constitutional sabotage of the rule of law. Why is tying that amendment to a generalized spending bill an outrage, while unilateral amendment by the executive (with a Valerie Jarrett blog item for spin) is perfectly fine? (2) Perpetrators The mainstream media have been fairly unanimous in blaming the government shutdown on the GOP. Accordingly, House Republicans presented three bills to restore funding to national parks, veterans and the District of Columbia government. Democrats voted down all three. (For procedural reasons, the measures required a two-thirds majority.) Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid won’t even consider these refunding measures. And the White House has promised a presidential veto. The reason is obvious: to prolong the pain and thus add to the political advantage gained from a shutdown blamed on the GOP. They are confident the media will do a “GOP makes little Johnny weep at the closed gates of Yellowstone, film at 11” despite Republicans having just offered legislation to open them. (3) Origins The most ubiquitous conventional wisdom is that the ultimate cause of these troubles is out-of-control tea party anarchists. But is this really where the causal chain ends? The tea party was created by Obama’s first-term overreach, most specifically Obamacare. This frantic fight against it today is the fruits of the way it was
originally enacted. From Social Security to civil rights to Medicaid to Medicare, never in the modern history of the country has major social legislation been enacted on a straight partyline vote. Never. In every case, there was significant reaching across the aisle, enhancing the law’s legitimacy and endurance. Yet Obamacare — which revolutionizes one-sixth of the economy, regulates every aspect of medical practice and intimately affects just about every citizen — passed without a single GOP vote. The Democrats insist they welcomed contributing ideas from Republicans. Rubbish. Republicans proposed that insurance be purchasable across state lines. They got nothing. They sought serious tort reform. They got nothing. Why? Because, admitted Howard Dean, Democrats didn’t want to offend the trial lawyers. Moreover, the administration was clearly warned. Republican Scott Brown ran in the most inhospitable of states, Massachusetts, on the explicit promise to cast the deciding vote blocking Obamacare. It was January 2010, the height of the debate. He won. Reid ignored this unmistakable message of popular opposition and conjured a parliamentary maneuver — reconciliation — to get around Brown. Nothing illegal about that. Nothing illegal about ramming it through without a single opposition vote. Just totally contrary to the modern American tradition — and the constitutional decency — of undertaking major social revolutions only with bipartisan majorities. Having stuffed Obamacare down the throats of the GOP and the country, Democrats are now paying the price. I don’t agree with current Republican tactics. I thought the defunding demand impossible and, therefore, foolish. I thought that if, nonetheless, they insisted on making a stand, it should not be on shutting down the government, which voters oppose 5-to-1, but on the debt ceiling, which Americans favor 2-to-1 as a vehicle for restraining government. Tactics are one thing, but substance is another. It’s the Democrats who have mocked the very notion of settled law. It’s the Democrats who voted down the reopening of substantial parts of the government. It’s the Democrats who gave life to a spontaneous, authentic, small-government opposition — aka the tea party — with their unilateral imposition of a transformational agenda during the brief interval when they held a monopoly of power. That interval is over. The current unrest is the residue of that hubris. Charles Krauthammer’s email address is letters@ charleskrauthammer.com. © 2013, The Washington Post Writers Group
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Why won’t our legislators come to compromise? This government shutdown was completely unnecessary. Why can’t grown men and women come to a compromise? These men and women are supposed to be representing the best interests of the people of our country, yet we are the ones who are doing all the suffering. Our “leaders” are still getting paid while sitting back waiting for the “other side” to give in to their demands. They don’t seem to have any sense of urgency to repair the situation. Meanwhile, the people they supposedly represent are losing more jobs or having work hours reduced to part time, running out of money, unable to pay bills, losing insurance coverage at work and suffering many other consequences from the fallout of our dysfunctional leaders. These men and women need to unite, need to work it out, need to listen to the majority of those who elected them. They need to stop acting like spoiled children who demand their own way and sit down together to act like the responsible adults we thought we were electing. This economy needs to get back on track. We need jobs, we need government spending limits, and we need to stop taxing people to death. If the majority of the people don’t want Obamacare as it is currently written, then delay it for a year and fix it. When we elect a leader, we expect leadership, not someone who is going to force their
ideas on people whether the people like it or not. That’s called a totalitarian. This country is based on democracy; that’s how they got elected in the first place. So it should be with all things — accepted by the majority. I am also sick to death of the race card being used at every opportunity. We voted to elect the best man, not the best color. Our current president is half black and half white, so stop using race as an excuse for disagreements and get back to the basics of how the government is being run. SANDRA SELLAR Sumter
Dog park would not hurt community Why do we need a dog park now? We probably don’t but, what would it hurt? I have the pleasure of finding myself in Greenville, S.C., at least one weekend each month. Our neighbors to the north have taken their one attraction, Falls Park, and turned it into a centerpiece that attracts families and people from all over that want to walk through the stores and restaurants that surround the park as well as the many attractions that visit the park area each weekend. They have outdoor musicians, artists, street performers and many other things to stimulate the senses and make people want to visit time and again to enjoy being outside rather than being cooped up in their homes. From this area Greenville has begun to branch out and create mini-

areas for families. They have not one but two dog parks, and most of the city is pet friendly. Sumter is also no stranger to creating places for families to go. There are 24 parks in this community, ball parks, skate parks, water parks and walking trails as well as downtown Fridays on Main with live music. So I ask why not a dog park? People who have the compassion and resources to have a dog, that they value enough to take time out of their day to take to a dog park, are the same people we want to join our community. What’s next? A Starbucks? The last time I was in Greenville I saw a Starbucks that had a small outdoor area of maybe 10 tables. At each table there were people gathered around enjoying their coffee and almost to a person they had small lap dogs that were also out for their morning strolls. Our neighbors to the north have business and community leaders who recognize that people care for their pets and are willing to frequent locations that are pet friendly. This increases foot traffic, sales and provides the health benefit of being active to both dog and owner alike. Where does the money come from and where to put it?

SHAW from Page A1 contracts are also suspended. The customer service desk at Shaw, which issues ID cards to personnel among other items, is also closed for the duration of the shutdown, although similar services are still available at McEntire Joint National Guard Base and Fort Jackson. “This furlough is greatly distressing to our teammates that have already suffered furlough days earlier this summer and will affect some base services,” Hall said in the open letter. Some other services at the base, such as the Child Development Center, remain open. “Those are paid for out of non-appropriated funds,” Brown said, meaning they don’t depend for their income on the congressional spending authorization that expired at midnight Monday. A small number of civilians whose jobs are considered critical to Shaw’s national defense mission are “excepted” from the effects of the shutdown and continue to work. Depending on the length of the impasse, Brown said other employees currently on furlough may need to be brought back to complete critical assignments.

“Should the shutdown continue, we may need to add additional support ... based on operational requirements,” he said. While civilians were warned by their chain of command they might face furloughs prior to the shutdown, commanders found it difficult to keep up with developments in Washington. “It’s hard to prepare ahead of time when you don’t know until 11:59 the night of (Sept.) 30th whether it’s going to shut down,” Brown said. One thing base personnel will continue to do throughout the shutdown is stay prepared to answer the call of duty. “Even though it’s unfortunate our civilian teammates have been furloughed, we’re going to maintain our readiness and continue to fly,” he said. Hall echoed that sentiment in his open letter earlier in the week. “The mission is continuing and we must remain ready to execute,” Hall wrote. “Rest assured your leadership will ensure you and your families have what you need to safely and effectively carry on throughout the government shutdown period — however long it lasts.” Reach Bristow Marchant at (803) 774-1272.

Avenue outside the Capitol. House and Senate lawmakers, inside debating how to end a government shutdown, briefly shuttered their chambers as Capitol Police shut down the building. The woman’s car at one point had been surrounded by police cars, and she managed to escape, careening around a traffic circle and past the north side of the Capitol. Video shot by a TV cameraman showed police pointing firearms at her car before she rammed a Secret Service vehicle and continued driving. Lanier said police shot and killed her a block northeast of the historic building. One Secret Service member and a 23-year veteran of the Capitol Police were injured. Officials said they are in good condition and expected to recover. “This appears to be an isolated, singular matter, with, at this point, no nexus to terrorism,” said Capitol Police Chief Kim Dine. Authorities did not immediately identify the driver of the car. Stamford, Conn., Mayor Michael Pavia said the FBI was executing a search warrant at a Stamford address in connection with the in-

vestigation. Police officers had cordoned off a condominium building and the surrounding neighborhood in the shoreline city. The pursuit began when the car sped onto a driveway leading to the White House, over a set of lowered barricades. When the driver couldn’t get through a second barrier, she spun the car in the opposite direction, flipping a Secret Service officer over the hood of the car as she sped away, said B.J. Campbell, a tourist from Portland, Ore. Then the chase began. “The car was trying to get away. But it was going over the median and over the curb,” said Matthew Coursen, who was watching from a cab window when the Infiniti sped by him. “The car got boxed in, and that’s when I saw an officer of some kind draw his weapon and fire shots into the car.” Police shot and killed the driver just outside the Hart Senate Office Building, where many senators have their offices. Dine said an officer took the child from the car to a hospital. She is in good condition under protective custody, officials said.

SHS eyeing much-needed win against RNE Cavaliers BY DENNIS BRUNSON dennisb@theitem.com Sumter High School is playing its final non-region game today before starting its Region VI-4A schedule next week. Gamecocks head coach Reggie Kennedy sees a victory over Richland Northeast today at Harry Parone Stadium in Columbia as a necessity. KENNEDY “It’s a must win for us,” the first-year SHS head coach said of his 1-4 team. “We don’t want to go into region play with three straight losses.”
That’s what Sumter would do should it lose to the Cavaliers, who are 0-5 on the season. After starting the season with two losses, the Gamecocks beat Lakewood 45-0. However, that’s been followed by a 42-14 loss to North Augusta and a 34-19 loss to Blythewood last week. SHS led Blythewood, the school Kennedy was at last season, 19-18 at halftime. However, Sumter could muster no offense in the second half, while the Bengals scored 16 points. The Gamecocks have tried to play at an extremely fast pace offensively so far this season, but

Americans hang on to Presidents Cup lead DUBLIN, Ohio — The Americans survived a late rally Thursday and put the International team in a familiar hole at the Presidents Cup. Steve Stricker blasted out of a plugged lie in the face of a bunker to 3 feet to save par as he and 20-yearold Jordan Spieth hung on for a 1-up win in the final match on the course at Muirfield STRICKER Village. That win gave the Americans a 3½-2½ lead, the fourth straight time they have led after the opening session in the Presidents Cup. ACADEMY FOOTBALL TO PLAY THIS WEEKEND
BALTIMORE— Football is on for Army, Navy and Air Force this weekend although some other service academy sports are still suspended because of the government shutdown.
The Defense Department said Thursday everything was on hold at Navy through Sunday except for Saturday’s football game against Air Force. According to Navy’s website, 19 events were either postponed or canceled on Saturday and Sunday, including men’s and women’s soccer games, swim meets and a women’s volleyball match at home against Colgate. HADEN EXPECTED TO BE ON PLAYOFF PANEL
Southern California athletic director Pat Haden, Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long and Clemson athletic director Dan Radakovich are expected to be members of the committee that will chose the four teams that will play for the national championship when the College Football Playoff starts in 2014. A person with knowledge of the process told The Associated Press that the three ADs were ex-

Wide receiver Derek Andrews has been the go-to guy with 25 catches for 616 yards and nine scores. On the ground, McCurry is one of four Indians players who have amassed 100 yards rushing or more, and the group is led by Michael Pascoe’s 714 yards on 121 carries with eight TDs. “We’ve got to do a good job at the point of attack on both sides of the football carrying through with our assignments,” Lane said. “We have to execute, we have to not turn the ball over and we have to eliminate costly penalties.” Defensively, OP is led by Reeves Connelly with 81 tackles. Charlie Sutcliffe and Will Reynolds each lead the Indians with nine quarterback hurries, and Sutcliffe is tops with three sacks. Orangeburg has
SHS from Page B1 Kennedy said the plan is to slow things down a bit against RNE. Since the offense has had stretches where it hasn’t been very effective, the fast pace has meant the defense is getting out on the field without much of a break on many occasions. “We’ve got to be more mindful of our tempo,” Kennedy said. “It’s not all about getting off a lot of snaps. When we don’t do anything offensively, that means the defense has to be right back out there. We’ve got to help out the defense a little bit. We want to give our offensive line time to get set and recognize what it needs to do blocking wise. Our offense has depended on the

TAMPA, Fla. — Quarterback Josh Freeman was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday, a week after being benched in favor of rookie Mike Glennon. The winless Bucs made the latest move during their bye week after general manager Mark Dominik contacted every other team in the NFL in an unsuccessful attempt to trade Freeman, a 4,000-yard passer a year ago and the team’s career leader with 1,144 completions and 80 touchdowns. From wire reports
also intercepted six passes and recovered seven fumbles. The Barons defense had a great game last week against the Cyclones, posting a shutout and picking off four passes. Nine WH players have recorded 15 tackles or more, led by John Wells Baker with 40. Will Watson leads the Barons with three sacks and Wilson Hall has now picked off nine passes and recovered four fumbles. Offensivley, quarterback William Kinney has had a season for the record books by completing 80 percent of his passes (48 of 60) for 884 yards and 10 TDs with no interceptions. Kinney, Jay Goodson and Parker McDuffie have provided a 3-headed running attack that is proving to be very tough for teams to stop. Goodson leads the charge with 472 yards and seven scores. McDuffie has 276 yards and five TDs and Kinney has 295 yards and six scores. Devin Singleton has been the go-to receiver with 20 grabs for 556 yards and seven TDs. He also leads the Barons in all-purpose yards with 620.
big play all season. We want to be able to take the football and drive the football down the football field.” Kennedy said James Barnes will start at quarterback today despite him going 9-for-27 against Blythewood and having a quiet second half against North Augusta. “To be fair to James, he hasn’t had a whole lot of time back there,” Kennedy said. “We’ve been averaging about 30 passes a game, and I don’t think we’re a good enough team to be throwing 24-30 times a game. We don’t want to have to depend completely on our quarterback’s arm to win the game.” While Northeast is winless, it has only been out of one game. After opening the season with a
40-12 loss to South Aiken, the Cavaliers have lost to Westwood 21-13, Lower Richland 14-6, Aiken 20-7 and Orangeburg-Wilkinson 28-21 last week. Kennedy said RNE’s size is a concern for him. “They’ve got a lot of big bodies up front,” he said. “They’ve been close to winning some games, so we’ve got to be ready to play when we get there. “We’re going to have to be able to win on the road if we want to win our region,” he added. “I’m hoping we can get a win against them since we haven’t won on the road yet. After this, we are on the road for our first two region games (against South Florence and West Florence).”

BY R.B. FALLSTROM The Associated Press ST. LOUIS — Carlos Beltran, Adam Wainwright and the St. Louis Cardinals gave Pittsburgh a quick reality jolt. Beltran’s three-run homer sparked a seven-run third inning Thursday and the Cardinals got seven stingy innings from Wainwright to open their NL division series with a 9-1 rout of the Pirates. “To be able to get out on a good first step and play well today I think is big for our guys confidence-wise,� St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said. “Gives us an opportunity to just take some momentum, and momentum is big right now when you talk about a five-game series.� The first eight Cardinals reached safely in the third to chase A.J. Burnett, saddling the right-hander with the second-shortest outing of his career and putting Game 1 out of reach early. A sellout crowd roared and then settled in for an easy victory by the NL Central champions, making their third consecutive trip to the postseason. “Game 164 was rough,� Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. “One of the things we’ve been good at is we don’t overcook things.� Lance Lynn (15-10) faces Pittsburgh rookie Gerrit Cole (10-7) in Game 2 on Friday.

BOSTON — The Boston Red Sox didn’t mind waiting a few days to start their playoffs. Not after missing them for the past three seasons. Not after the September collapse that ruined their chances in 2011. And certainly not after they stumbled to the club’s worst record in 48 years in 2012. “This was part of the mindset at the end of last year, a strong desire to rewrite what took place,� Red Sox manager John Farrell said Thursday. The revised edition tied the St. Louis Cardinals for the best record, was the highest scoring team in the majors and turned a toxic clubhouse atmosphere into a fun-loving one that was a big reason the Red Sox had 28 more wins than they did last season. They’ll try for their first in the playoffs today against the Tampa Bay Rays in the opener of the best-of-five AL division series. “Guys in here love playing baseball,� Red Sox left fielder Jonny Gomes said. “It’s a bunch of baseball junkies, so I’m sure they’ll be happy to strap on their cleats.�

Athletics, Tigers prepare for division rematch 1 year later BY JANIE MCCAULEY The Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. — Josh Donaldson mimics Miguel Cabrera whenever he can, and he has no problem copping to it. Donaldson spent a couple of days each week over the offseason studying tape of Detroit’s star in the batter’s box, trying to pick up on anything he could apply to his own hitting for Oakland. Indeed, Donaldson learned a thing or two that worked on the way to a breakout season: .301 batting average, 24 home runs, 93 RBIs in 158 games for the AL West champion
Athletics. “JD’s the MVP of our team and Miguel Cabrera is the MVP of baseball,� A’s first baseman Brandon Moss said. These two talented third basemen will face off in the playoffs for the second straight October starting with Game 1 of the AL division series Friday night. One is a household name, 2012 Triple Crown winner and widely considered the best hitter in baseball. The other is more anonymous up-andcomer whose spectacular September in his first full major league season earned him AL player of the month honors. Cabrera is making $21 million this season, Donaldson a mere $492,500.

Wolverines hope recent success continues as region play begins
Eagles welcome fresh start BY MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER mchristopher@theitem.com The Scott’s Branch High School football team hopes the friendly confines of Spann Stadium will lead to a better result today as the Eagles play host to East Clarendon to open Region VII1A play. The Eagles, just 1-4 on the season, are 1-1 at home and 0-3 on the road. They’ll face a Wolverines team that is 3-2 and on a 3-game JOHNSON winning streak. SB head coach Jesse Johnson said his team is being hindered with injuries. “Josh Bannister, one of our main tacklers, is out with a high ankle sprain for two weeks,” Johnson said. “Running back Cory Leonard, who is a backup to Jeremy (Lee) at fullback, is out with an ankle sprain for 2-3 weeks. And Traviant Riley is still out with a ligament problem in his ankle. We’re hoping to get those guys back maybe for the last few games.” SB is coming off a 53-13 loss to St. John’s in which it scored just one
offensive touchdown. Jeremy Lee scored on a 41-yard touchdown run and Tra’shawn Jones had the other score on a 55yard fumble recovery. “We’re going to try to maintain the outside, that’s what hurt us against St. John’s,” Johnson said. “We kind of let St. John’s get a little too much to the outside on us, and they rolled off some big runs to the outside.” Stopping the run against the Wolverines will be the key. In fact, EC’s read option could present the toughest challenge, according to the Eagles head coach. “We’ve had a little bit of trouble maintaining and controlling the running backs in the option,” he explained. “For some reason we’re not coming up and taking away the pitch and dive man. I think sometimes we overrun it. “Our Achilles heel is the run,” Johnson said. “If we can stop the run and make them throw it against us or attempt to throw it against us, then we can hold our own, but we’ve got to stop the run.” The Eagles are averaging just 6.6 points a game while allowing 47 a game.
“Jeremy (Lee) has done a great job running the ball and another guy that’s stepped up is Tre’shawn Jones in our pass offense,” Johnson said. “We’ve been running some plays out of the backfield and throwing it to him on a regular basis.” Youth and inexperience will have to lead Scott’s Branch into what Johnson is calling a new season. “Basically we’ve played all our preseason games or our preparation games and it’s time to get down to business now,” he explained. “Hopefully we can correct some of the mistakes that we’ve made over the course of these five first games and apply those corrections to region play. “We’ve got 16 freshmen and we’ve played a lot of them,” Johnson said. “Some of them have made freshman mistakes, but for the most part they’re doing pretty good.” EC is averaging 23.2 points and allowing 23.6. EC’s Adam Lowder rushed for 140 yards, three touchdowns and had an interception to lead the Wolverines to a 42-6 win over Creek Bridge last week.
BY JUSTIN DRIGGERS jdriggers@theitem.com East Clarendon High School head football coach Dwayne Howell thought the Wolverines put together their best game of the season last week in a 42-6 win over Creek Bridge. That bodes well as EC now begins its Region VII-1A slate with a matchup against Scott’s Branch in Summerton today beginning at 7:30 p.m. “You obviously want to get off on the right foot in the region, especially with the region we’re in,” Howell said. HOWELL “We’ve still got Timmonsville, C.E. Murray, Carvers Bay and Hemingway to go, so every game and every win you can get is important.” In order to do that though the Wolverines will have to make adjustments on the fly. Since Scott’s Branch does not film its games, Howell and his coaching staff have had to rely on word of mouth to prepare for the Eagles. “It does make it a little difficult,” Howell said. “But we know they’ve got pretty good size and speed and that they like to throw to their big tight end a lot. “We know they come in multiple formations with split backs and still run the Hammer offense sometimes too, so we’re basically preparing for everything.” EC enters the game at 3-2 after winning its last three contests. The Wolverines were outscored in their
Hardy expected back vs. Arizona
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Give Durell Eskridge credit. Even as No. 3 Clemson prepares to make a trip to Syracuse, the Orange free safety is unfazed. And he believes his teammates aren’t either. “It’s conESKRIDGE fidence,” Eskridge said. “We always come in confident. We don’t lay down against nobody, no matter who it is. Once you come in the (Carrier) Dome and you think it’s going to be a walk in the park, we’re going to show you otherwise.” Even if the Tigers stroll in on the arm of star quarterback Tajh Boyd. Clemson (4-0, 2-0 ACC) is tied for fifth nationally in turnover margin with a plus-1.8 mark on the strength of five interceptions and four fumble recoveries by its stalwart defense and only two turnovers — two lost fum-
bles and zero interceptions — by the Tigers’ offense. A lot of that, of course, has to do with Boyd. So, in their ACC debut, the Orange (2-2) will be tested, regardless of how much confidence they have. The Syracuse defense likes to blitz and has matched Clemson with five picks and four fumble recoveries, but the Orange offense has committed seven turnovers (six interceptions and one lost fumble). On the plus side for Syracuse, though, is no turnovers in its last two games — convincing victories over Wagner (54-0) and Tulane (5217) that have righted a season that started badly. “Syracuse plays extremely hard,” Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris said. “This team loves to pressure. They love to bring one more than you got. If they could blitz 12, they’d blitz 12. They’re very confident in their system.
“Losing my seniors hurt just enough to boot (both teams) out of state qualifying this year in their relay,” Coach Kirkhart said. “The good thing is that I have all those kids back next year.” The SHS coach said out the 18 swimmers on this year’s team, only six swim all year around, meaning a dozen were strictly high school swimmers. The team loses six seniors to graduation and will once again be young and have to build upon its inexperience. Overall Kirkhart said she is pleased with what she has coming back and hopes the kids continue to work year round to become
stronger swimmers. “I had 12 swimmers that came in that were not year-round swimmers, that came in just for high school, and the improvement and excitement of those swimmers were infectious,” she explained. “I had kids that had never swam competitively before and by the end of the season they truly felt like they belonged, and I encourage them to come back next year so they can come back faster and stronger.” The 4A meet is scheduled to begin at 4:15 p.m. The cost to attend is $6 with children age 5 and younger able to enter free of charge.

Carolina’s Greg Hardy (76) makes a sack on former Oakland quarterback Carson Palmer (3) while teammate Charles Johnson (95) looks on. Hardy, a.k.a. the “Kracken,” is quickly earning a reputation as one of the best all-around defensive ends in the league. And nobody knows that better than Palmer, who got knocked out of the game last year by Hardy, who is expected back this week against the Cardinals.
probably doesn’t. The Cardinals quarterback knows firsthand the pain Hardy is capable of inflicting on the football field when he takes on the game day persona of “the Kraken,” a mythical sea creature. While playing for the Oakland Raiders last December, Palmer set up outside the pocket to throw a pass against the Panthers when he took a vicious
shot from Hardy that ended his day — and his season. Palmer suffered cracked ribs and a bruised lung on a hit he said he’ll never forget. Hardy was flagged 15 yards for unnecessary roughness, but Palmer said this week that officials got the call wrong. “He got me good,” Palmer said. “(But) I gave him an opportunity to get me, and I
SWIM from Page B1 faster every year,” Sumter High School head coach Kathy Kirkhart said. “It’s hard to compare where they are standing. I see them going in and having a very successful meet. Last weekend at our region meet we had good times, excellent swims and we felt good about their swimming.” Going into today’s event, Simsonson is ranked 29th in the 200 IM (2 minutes, 26.30 seconds) and 30th in the 500 freestyle (5:49.86). Stewart is ranked 26th in the 50 free (26.48) and 19th in the 100 free (57.91).
first two games 84-24, but have bounced back to outscore their opponents 92-34 in the three victories. The Eagles are 1-4 and have been outscored 235-33 in five games thus far. “We know they’re young,” Howell said. “They were young last year and a lot of those kids are gone too. But we’re going to line up and make our adjustments. It might take a little while, but hopefully we’ll be able to handle anything they run against us.” The Eagles will have to prepare for an EC offense that has been clicking as of late. Quarterback Jared Hair nearly threw for 100 yards last week and the Wolverines had two 100-yard rushers in Adam Lowder and Savontai Hall. Lowder had 140 yards on the ground for his fourth straight 100-yard game, Howell said, while Hall added 120. “The offensive line did a really good job blocking last week,” Howell said. “I was really pleased with them and our backs obviously did a tremendous job as well.” The EC defense was led by The Item Defensive Player of the Week in outside linebacker Sulli Lee, who recorded nine solo tackles, seven assists and a quarterback sack. “He’s been really solid for us all year and just has a nose for the ball,” Howell said. “We’ve changed some things up defensively and given some guys who go both ways a little more rest. We’ve changed some things schematically and have a lot of different looks which the kids have picked up on pretty well, so I’m pleased with that.”
Syracuse confident with Clemson on deck
BY STEVE REED The Associated Press CHARLOTTE — The Panthers are hoping flamboyant defensive end Greg Hardy can get healthy before Sunday and build on the momentum he helped create before the bye week. Hardy, the NFC’s defensive Player of the Week in week three, has missed the last two days of practice with an illness. Panthers coach Ron Rivera said he expects Hardy will return to practice Friday and make the trip to Arizona to face the Cardinals on Sunday. “He did see the doctor. Good report,” Rivera said. “They just want him to get a little bit of rest and I do expect him back (Friday) morning. So I do look forward to seeing Greg.” Carson Palmer

Kirkhart ranks 34th (1:01.87) in the 100 backstroke. Both Simonson and Stewart are year-round swimmers and are on the USA swimming association team with Coach Kirkhart. Meanwhile, Dalton Kirkhart only competes in the nine weeks of high school competition and dedicates his time to other sports. “He is one of my faster swimmers on the team, but swims the least amount,” the Gamecocks coach said of her son. “He has a natural gift for it, but his athletic desires fall in
don’t think it should have been flagged. I think those kinds of hits now, just because they look pretty gruesome, get flagged. But it was a legal hit, and my own fault for not getting rid of the football.” Palmer said all he remembers from the hit is watching the replay on the stadium scoreboard as he lay on the ground in agony.
baseball rather than swimming.” The state meet is much like track in that only the top 30 swimmers are taken in each race based upon a time requirement. Other swimmers who did not make the time requirement have a chance to go to state by meeting a consideration time. Should a swimmer from the top 30 drop out, then he or she could go. SHS had four swimmers that just missed the cut for consideration times. Sophomore Will Stallings (200 freestyle and 100 backstroke), junior Brock Frazier (50 freestyle) and freshman Mike Boster (200 freestyle
and 100 freestyle) each just missed out on the boys side. The boys 400 freestyle relay team of Stallings, Frazier, Boster and Kirkhart also just missed the cut. Senior and women’s captain Jessica McNeil also just missed the cut and would have been able to compete in the 50 freestyle race. Last year SHS had six swimmers compete at state, including two seniors. Those seniors left a void in the girls 400 freestyle relay team. This year’s girls team ended up 23rd, three spots shy of making state while the boys team missed by one spot.

Clemson picks up Boiling Springs OL commit South Bend, Ind., and eventually landed in Yuma. FSU, Auburn, Mississippi, California and San Diego State have also offered. Chad Mavety (6-5, 320) of Nassau JC in New York also picked up an offer from USC last week. Like Prestwood, Mavety is a highly recruited JUCO target and plays for the sixth-ranked team in the country. Ohio State, FSU and Alabama are three other offers for him. Wide receiver Braxton Berrios of Raleigh, N.C., has set an announcement date for Oct. 12 at noon. He has taken official visits to USC, Miami and Oregon and is scheduled to visit Tennessee on Saturday. Defensive lineman Cory Thomas of McCalla, Ala., has Clemson, Mississippi State, Florida, FSU and Tennessee has his top five in no order. He plans to take official visits to each of these schools. Thomas also plans to attend the Clemson-FSU game, but said it would not be his official visit to the Upstate. Clemson assistant coach Marion Hobby has kept in contact with Thomas and paid a recent visit to McCalla for a game. Thomas has been to Auburn and Tennessee for games. He’s not claiming a favorite. Former Lexington High running back Kevin Miller (5-8, 160) was one of the state’s leading rushers in ‘11 as he helped lead the Wildcats to the 4A Division I state playoffs. He rushed for 1,700 yards and 25 touchdowns that season. He has since taken his talents to nearby Gray Military Academy in Columbia where, three games into this season, he’s averaging 150 rushing yards per game. Schools are starting to notice Miller again, and his head coach said Clemson is one taking a look. “Clemson is pretty serious,” Gray head coach Rod Lorick said. “Kevin is one of those dashing, darting tailbacks who kind of reminds you of C.J. Spiller. He’s got that kind of speed. Talking to coach Robbie Caldwell and coach Jeff Scott up there, there is some interest there. Kevin really likes the school and I believe he really wants to go to the Upstate. He really fits that high-tempo, quick spread offense of Clemson. I think it would be a good fit.” Lorick added that Miller has dedicated himself into become a major college prospect. “He’s gotten bigger, faster, stronger and he has all the intangibles that any (NCAA) Division I university looks for. Kevin Miller is going to be a great pick-up for whoever decides to go after this young
man. Clemson has spoken a lot about Kevin.” There have been no offers yet for Miller, but Lorick expects that to change as Miller begins to take some visits. “Come November, he’s going to have a lot of offers.” Florida has been one of the three favorites of defensive end Michael Barnett of Woodland High in Dorchester, and he was at The Swamp for the Tennessee game earlier in the season. That game was the third college game Barnett has ever attended. The first was the Georgia at Clemson game earlier this season. Barnett was also at USC for the Vandy game. Right now, Barnett is holding with his top three of Virginia Tech, Florida and FSU in that order, and he said Clemson is creeping up, but has not cracked his top three. He also talked with FlSU and plans to get there for a game. He also plans to return to Clemson for a game. Defensive back Tyreik Lyles of Byrnes High in Duncan committed to Wofford last week. Phil JUNIORS: KORNBLUT With Clemson and USC among his offers, class of ‘15 RB Kerryon Johnson (6-0, 195) of Madison, Ala., is willing to listen to all of the programs showing interest in him. He named Alabama, Auburn and FSU as his early favorites in no order. He has visited his top three as well as Mississippi State. His offers are from Clemson, USC, Alabama, Auburn, FSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Vandy and Louisiana State. DB Terry Godwin of Hogansville, Ga., has become a red hot target on the recruiting trail and has seen his number of offers mushroom. Godwin said right now he has offers from USC, Clemson, Alabama, Auburn, Florida, FSU, Louisville, Ole Miss, UNC, Tennessee, Virginia, ND, North Carolina State, Arkansas, UGA, Southern California and Vandy. Godwin has been to games at UGA and Auburn. He’s planning to get to games at USC and Clemson as well. There is no favorites list at this point. USC is the lone early offer for DB Desmond Cain (5-11, 183) of Delray Beach, Fla., and that has put the Gamecocks at this top of his list at this point. “I was there for their (Black Magic) camp and I fell in love with everything,” Cain said. “I like the coaches and how they helped me with the little things to become a better player. And I love the facilities.” That was the only recruiting corner
J
unior offensive lineman Noah Green (6-foot5-inches, 275 pounds) of Boiling Springs High School committed to Clemson on Saturday about an hour before the Tigers’ football game with Wake Forest. Green also had offers from South Carolina, North Carolina, East Carolina and Vanderbilt, but his parents are Clemson graduates and he wasn’t about to break the family tradition. “When you know in your mind without a doubt that you want to go there, that’s when it’s time to commit, not before that,” Green said. “There’s no reason to wait after you know. I knew without a doubt that’s where I wanted to go to school. I wanted to go where I liked it the most. Clemson just met all the qualifications and I love it there.” Green, of course, has made several visits to Clemson and he also visited USC recently for the Vandy game. Green also camped at Clemson where he got to know OL coach Robbie Caldwell. “I love Coach Caldwell, I think he’s an awesome guy,” Green said. “(Clemson head) Coach (Dabo) Swinney was telling me how he thinks I’m the perfect match for tackle.” Green is regarded as one of the state’s top prospects for the 2015 class. He’s the Tigers’ fourth commitment for the class and third from South Carolina. OL Donell Stanley of Latta High had planned to take last week to set up his official visits. Instead, Stanley has decided not to take any official visits. He’s ready to make his decision and is close to doing so. Stanley is down to USC, Clemson, Alabama and UNC. He has visited each unofficially and has gathered enough information from those visits to make his decision. That decision is expected within the next two weeks. Stanley has not publicly stated a favorite throughout his recruiting, but it’s become apparent that USC has made the strongest push for him. Gamecock OL coach Shawn Elliott was at Stanley’s game last week. USC is looking to add immediate depth to the OL and has offered two junior college tackles. The Gamecocks went back in on a player they recruited for the ‘11 class but did not land in Jordan Prestwood (6-6. 310), a native of Tampa, Fla., who attends Arizona Western JC. He was a tight end coming out of high school, but has grown into a much sought-after offensive tackle. He signed with Florida State in ‘11, but later transferred to Notre Dame. He left
camp for Cain last summer. He is also getting interest from Miami, Auburn, Minnesota, Penn State and Michigan and feels Miami will be the next to offer. He’s not planning to make a final decision until the beginning of his senior season, but right now USC is the team to beat. “USC leads,” he said. “Me and (USC assistant) Coach (Grady) Brown have a real good chemistry.” Junior DL Albert Huggins of Orangeburg-Wilkinson High got his last offer a couple of weeks back from Auburn. He also has offers from Clemson, USC, FSU, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Louisville, UGA, NCSU and UNC. Huggins has not been to any games this season because his father is recovering from surgery. Once his dad is able to travel, he plans to get to games at Clemson and USC first. Outside the state, Huggins feels UNC, NCSU, Florida and UGA are showing the most interest. Junior OL Martez Ivey (6-6, 280) of Apopka, Fla., has Clemson and USC among his offers. His most recent visit was to Florida and future visits remain uncertain. Ivey also has offers from FSU, Florida, Miami, UGA, UNC, Ole Miss, Tennessee, LSU, Alabama, Auburn, Michigan and Michigan State, Ivey said he does not have any favorites. WR Freddie Phillips of Pelion High has his first offer on the board. UNC is the first school to make an offer to the junior standout. He’s also been drawing interest from Clemson, USC, NCSU, FSU, Florida, Vandy, Georgia Tech and Appalachian State. He has been to GT for a game this season. Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris has reached back to his home state of Texas and has offered several quarterback prospects the past two years. He’s not landed one yet, but that could change for the ‘15 class. Junior Blake Lynch (6-4, 200) of Troup has Clemson, Baylor and Mississippi State as his top three at this point, in no order. Lynch has never visited Clemson, but he’s got a good feel for Tiger football from talking with Morris and watching games on television. “Clemson is dedicated to winning,” Lynch said. “They run a great offense and I fit their offense very well. It’s appealing with (QB Tajh) Boyd and (wide receiver Sammy) Watkins making plays every game, an offense that’s very explosive.” Lynch hopes to get to a Clemson game this season and said location will not be a factor
in his decision, which he plans to make before his senior season. He has been to Baylor and Mississippi State. Lynch said Nebraska and Texas Christian have also offered, while Oregon is showing strong interest, but has not offered. Lynch runs a spread-and-read option offense and accounted for 1,500 yards and 25 touchdowns last season. Basketball News: USC men’s basketball head coach Frank Martin was back in Jacksonville, Fla., recently to check on 6-7 Dante Buford, according to Arlington Country Day head coach Rex Morgan. Morgan said Martin has made it clear to him and Buford what he thinks of the player. “He’s their No. 1 guy at that position, so he said it’s imperative they get him,” Morgan said. “He said it’s important to him.” Morgan said Buford, a native of Simpsonville, still isn’t tipping his hand. “He’s enjoying being recruited a little bit,” Morgan said. “I think he likes everybody. Does he want to stay close to home and play in state or go outside?” Buford is set with three official visits for sure. He is supposed to go to Oklahoma his weekend and to Miami on Oct. 11. And he is set to visit USC on Nov. 1. He is also scheduled to visit Oklahoma State and Southern Cal, but Morgan is not sure if he will take those two trips. Morgan said Martin also remains interested in 6-9 Ledamian Keys, though Keys is partial to DePaul right now. Baseball News: Shortstop Madison Stokes (6-3, 195) of A.C. Flora High in Columbia committed to USC last week for the ‘14 class. Stokes had been committed to The Citadel. Clemson and UNC were two other schools he considered before choosing the Gamecocks. Stokes helped lead Flora to the 3A state championship last season. Stokes joins his Falcon teammate second baseman Everett Eynon as Gamecock commitments and gives USC 13 pledges for the ‘14 class. Outfielder KJ Bryant of Wade Hampton High in Greenville, who committed to USC last year for the ‘14 class, has flipped to Clemson. Bryant batted over .400 each of the past two seasons and is considered the top OF prospect in the state for his class. He’s the Tigers eight commitment for the ‘14 class. Bryant is one of four ‘14 USC commitments no longer committed to the Gamecocks. OF DJ Burt of FuquayVarina, N.C., is now committed to NCSU, SS Seth Lancaster of Hanahan High is now a Coastal Carolina commitment, and left-handed pitcher Nate Matheson of Virginia is now committed to Old Dominion.

USC from Page B1 past decade, Spurrier said he got to watch his former assistantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kids grow up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was there only three years, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an appreciative guy,â&#x20AC;? Spurrier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Ś Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appreciative that he got a chance to be a head coach at.Oklahoma after three years as an assistant there. He and I have a lot in common. He plays a little golf. I play a little. We have just remained good friends. His wife (Carol) and (my wife) Jerri are very close, and so forth.â&#x20AC;? When No. 13 South Carolina hosts Kentucky on Saturday night at Williams-Brice Stadium, it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be much of a reunion. The Wildcats are in their first season under Mark Stoops, who is seven years younger than Bob. The most exposure Spurrier has had with Mark Stoops came New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve 2010. Stoops was Florida Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive coordinator, and the Seminoles held USC to 17 points in a Chick-fil-A Bowl loss. The Gamecocks had five turnovers that night, including three interceptions from former quarterback Stephen Garcia. Mark Stoops faces a tougher task now. The first-year head coach is trying to do what many believe is impossible â&#x20AC;&#x201C; build a winning football program in Lexington. Spurrier is a believer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know them a little bit,â&#x20AC;? Spurrier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good guy, really good guy, and good coach. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough job there at Kentucky, especially right now, but they supposedly have one of the best recruiting classes going into next year, so maybe they are heading in the right direction.â&#x20AC;? Recruiting is a start â&#x20AC;&#x201C; early on, Kentucky has a top 10 class for 2014 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but success is judged by what happens on the field. So far, things have not gone well.

Discovery Channel follows NFL to London “Dateline NBC” (9 p.m.) * Aromatherapy helps children combat phobias on “Shark Tank” (9 p.m., ABC, TV-PG) * “20/20” (10 p.m., ABC).
BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH The Discovery Channel goes on an international roadshow with professional football in the United Kingdom. The network must hope that some of the NFL’s ratings magic survives the trans-Atlantic voyage. Produced by the folks behind HBO’s preseason documentary series “Hard Knocks,” “NFL in Season: Steelers vs. Vikings” (10 p.m., TV-14) follows the Pittsburgh and Minnesota franchises as they prepare for a game in London’s Wembley Stadium. Cameras tail players and coaches before they participate in the ultimate road game, at a place where football is more about what we call soccer than chasing a pigskin. Next month, “NFL in Season” will feature the Jacksonville Jaguars hosting the San Francisco 49ers in a “home” game in London. (The game takes place later this month.) Last week’s trip to London proved distracting to fans and rewarding for the Vikings. While both Pittsburgh and Minnesota were winless after three weekends, the Vikings prevailed, 34-27. • If Discovery can steal some of football’s audience, “Cassadee Pope: Frame by Frame” (10 p.m., CMT) hopes fans of “The Voice” will follow the further adventures of last December’s winner. “Frame” follows the singer as she embarks on a tour, does heavy radio promotion and develops migraines that put her concert schedule in jeopardy. “Frame” will follow the young singer, headaches and all, over six episodes.

Flags hang draped across Regent Street in central London on Sept. 23 to promote the NFL game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Minnesota Vikings.
• The supernatural series “Ghost Adventures” (9 p.m., Travel, TV-PG) commemorates the 40th anniversary of the scary movie “The Exorcist” with a visit to the haunted house that inspired the book by William Peter Blatty and movie adaptation.
