Advocates must be strong for victims, themselves

BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com Most people know victims’ advocates as the men and women who assist individuals after a crime, but there is much more to the job than that.

It takes a strong individual to support victims of a crime while also supporting one's self and co-workers.

Sumter County Sheriff's Office has four victims’ advocates, two full time and two part time, who rotate on-call duties each week.

Barbara Jean Wiley, a full-time advocate at the sheriff's office, said an individual needs to complete 15 hours of training through State of South Carolina Office of Victim Services Education and Certification within one year after he or she is hired for the position to become certified as a victims’ advocate.

Wiley said advocates need to complete 12 hours of training each year after the first-year training requirements are met in order to remain certified.

She said trainees learn the basics of being a victim's advocate, the ethics ap-

LOCAL BRIEFS FROM STAFF REPORTS

Dove season opens Saturday with new limits As mourning dove season begins Saturday, hunters are being advised by South Carolina Department of Natural Resources of a new daily bag limit in place for the birds.

Hunters will be allowed to collect 12 doves per day during the season, according to a news release from DNR. The season runs from Saturday through Sunday from noon until sunset; Sept. 6 to Oct. 15; Nov. 12 to 26; and Dec. 15 to Jan. 15. Hunting hours for the season, except for Sunday through Monday, are from 30 minutes before sunrise until sunset.

DNR's board wanted to change the limit based on concerns about low dove harvests and the results from a dove hunter survey conducted by the agency. Last dove season, the agency recorded the lowest harvest rate since it began recording such information in 2003.

For more information about the migratory bird hunting season, visit http://www.dnr. sc.gov/regs/migratorybird/ regulations.html.

GOP opens headquarters on Bultman Drive The Republican Party of Sumter County opened its 2016 Campaign Headquarters at 699D Bultman Drive on Wednesday evening and county chair Shery Smith said the event went very well.

“Our speakers did a fine job,” she said. “We had Congressmen Mick Mulvaney, (state) Rep. Murrell Smith.”

She said mayoral candidate William “Dutch” Holland was there, along with South Carolina Senate District 26 candidate Leon Wynn and Sumter Ward 3 council candidate Jimmy Byrd.

About 70 to 75 people attended the grand opening, she said.

She said based on conversations she heard, attendees were concerned about veterans, the economy and jobs.

The headquarters will be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Monday through Friday and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Smith said.

For more information, call the GOP Headquarters at (803) 774-2520.

Gospel in the Park turns 20

SUMTER ITEM FILE PHOTO

Annual music festival started by the late Bishop W.T. English in 1996

BY IVY MOORE ivy@theitem.com For 19 years, lovers of gospel music have spent Labor Day listening to live gospel music by some of the greats of the genre. This year is no exception, with five renowned groups and individuals entertaining the crowd from noon until 6 p.m. at Bishop W.T. English Memorial Park.

English, an ordained minister and then bishop with Holy Tabernacle in Boston, the founder of Greater St. Paul Church in Sumter and an award-winning gospel singer who died in 2013, established the park and the gospel festival in 1996. After his death, his youngest daughter, Shonda English,

took over the event.

"I'm hosting to ensure the legacy of my father," she said.

An accomplished gospel singer herself, Shonda English has become well known in the music industry, recording on famed singer Dorothy Norwood's label. That gives her an advantage in booking renowned musicians to the annual festival, she said.

"The crowd is getting bigger each year," English said.

"This year, we've got The Williams Brothers, Doc McKenzie & The Hi-Lites, Donald Malloy, Deborah Barnes and Luther Barnes & The Sunset Jubilaires."

Luther Barnes and The Williams Brothers are Grammy nominees and Stellar Award winners. Doc McKenzie, from Lake City, is

also a Stellar Award winner.

Three groups from Greater St. Paul Church, where she is director of music, will also perform, making for at least six hours of non-stop music, English said. In addition to acting as mistress of ceremonies, she'll sing selections from her new CD, "And We're Going On." English said the singers are "very approachable.

They'll have their CDs to sell, and people can get them autographed and talk to the singers when they're not performing. No recordings are permitted."

Soft beverages and food, including barbecue, brisket, hot dogs and more, will be available for purchase as well.

Smoking and alcoholic beverages are not permitted

in the park.

Tickets are $20 in advance and can be purchased at Imports LTD in downtown Sumter; at the gates, they'll be $25.

Bishop W.T. English Memorial Park is at 3735 Congruity Road. Gates open at 10 a.m., and the music starts at noon. Security will be provided by Sumter County Sheriff's Office. In case of rain, the event will be held at M.H. Newton Family Life Center on Manning Avenue.

To get to the park, take U.S. 378 East toward Myrtle Beach, pass Porter's Store and turn right on Illery Road for about two miles.

The park is on the corner of Illery and Congruity roads.

USC Sumter exhibitions ‘a breath of freedom’

BY JANE G. COLLINS Special to The Sumter Item With all the political diatribe sounding more and more like Jean Paul Sartre’s “No Exit,” the three University of South Carolina Sumter Art exhibits are a breath of freedom. Although usually knowing something about the artists is helpful, their artistic statements clearly define their concepts. Jeremy Butler’s “Something for Everyone Enlivened Space,” Carole Shoemaker Swartz’s “Places & Things” and Colleen A. Critcher’s “Consumed” reinforce the place of art in creating response and enriching lives.

“Something for Everyone Enlivened Space,” at the University Gallery Anderson Library, reveals his desire to produce sculpture that “will touch the viewer in some way, either emotionally, spiritually or intellectually … as he strives to capture the moment.” His work succeeds on all levels. Whether nuns or nudes, monsters or mermaids, he presents a range of technique — smooth, disruptive, simplistic, convoluted — and a variety of subject matter.

“Beginning of the End” introduces a slender white angel holding the limp body of Christ. The lines are intensely vertical even though the Christ figure is horizontal. The all-white sculpture exudes an aura of gentle passion. His feeling of slender, uplifting form is repeated in a wood-toned “Angel of the North.” By contrast, “The Hand of God” and “Doubting Thomas” are gnarled, anguished and more intensely developed.

Butler’s control of his media clearly shows in the marble-like “Lady of the Lake,” her head back, emerging from water, and “Refugee,” the smoothness of the figure emotionally enhanced by the somber expression in her eyes. His torso sculptures “Nothing Comes Between Me and My Levis,” with the clearly defined jeans, and his male and female torsos exhibit his control over materials and purpose.

“Basketball Players” combines rough and smooth textures in an intensely dramatic moment in time as the player reaches for the ball, the other players waiting expectantly for the next action.

The artist Colleen A. Critcher lies beneath a pomegranate tree, reaching for a fruit, as a garden gnome watches in her painting titled “Pomegranates in the Garden.” Her work can be seen in USC Sumter’s Upstairs Gallery in the administration building through Oct. 31.

seemingly over abundance of yard ornamentation) and painting, she seeks to “raise questions about commodity objects themselves.” The display itself is like an essay, with her first three paintings addressing the issue at hand. The last piece, “Pomegranates in the Garden,” depicts the artist stretched out underneath the tree, the ubiquitous gnome close by.

Her gnome figures are combinations of garden statues seen even in Sumter and the merriment of the Seven Dwarfs. Each has a specific and delightful expression.

They are colorful, yet painted with a restraint that adds a patina to their surface. To me, the T-Rex figures add to the color and irony of the message: What do we find fulfilling?

A REVIEW “Hurling into a Bionic Future” gains focus and life through the leaning figure and cycle. The “Mischievous Mermaid” attests to Butler’s ability to create humor in his composition. Holding clothing in her tail over the anxious swimmer in the water, the mermaid’s form and expression tell the story.

Swartz’s “Places and Things” in the Umpteenth Gallery celebrates her artistic evolution from early paint by numbers to her “own mental vocabulary of shapes and forms with their pronouncement of color.”

The day I visited the gallery, I was wearing a purple top and a purple/magenta, turquoise/blue and shades of gray-to-blue black tie dye skirt. I could have posed in front of her dramatically executed palm trees, reflecting the same range and intensity. She develops an intricate and forceful interplay of pattern and color.

The show itself is wonderfully presented. For example, her ceramic “Gray Matters,” with its emphasis on texture, pattern and shape,

is a complementary match for her Van Gogh-like “Cabo San Lucas Ocean Cave.” The colors in “Mexican Cactus”— intense green, blue and zags of yellow against a vivid red background and framed by eggplant purple — are reflected in the nearby ceramic. The same is true of her “Grand Canyon" pieces and the smooth, almost pastel feel of “Hadrian’s Wall England” and “Holy Island England” and her ceramic “Out of the Earth.”

Critcher’s “Consumed” in the Upstairs Gallery is small in number of works but satisfying in purpose and style.

Contemplating “Kitsch” (we’ve all seen places with a

All three exhibits are free and open to the public during university hours, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. They run until Oct. 31, just in time to face November.

All galleries are on the USC Sumter campus: The University Gallery in the Anderson Library; The Umpteenth Gallery in the Arts and Letters Building; and The Upstairs Gallery in the Williams-BriceEdwards Administration Building.

A lecture by Butler and a brief reception will be held in the University Gallery from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Oct. 7. Light refreshments will be provided.

Clemson defends prayer Explosion at SpaceX launch policy after controversy pad destroys rocket, satellite CLEMSON (AP) — Clemson University is defending its prayer policy after a staff member asked a man praying on campus last week to remove a sign or leave.

Local media reported a man had a “Prayer” sign Aug. 25 when he was asked to remove the sign or file a request to hold an event.

Clemson student Kyra Palange told WYFF-TV she saw the man with an empty chair with a sign that read “prayer.”

Palange said the staff member’s action and the school policy violate the 1st Amendment.

Clemson issued a statement Tuesday to clarify the school’s policy.

“First and most importantly, Clemson does not prohibit prayer on our campuses,” the statement read.

But the statement said the school has rules for people not affiliated with the school that are necessary to maintain “an effective and safe learning environment for our students.”

Mark Land, vice president of

University Relations, said anyone who is not a student must fill out a form from the campus activities and events office stating that he or she would like to speak or assemble a group.

In the statement, university officials said that a school employee saw a man, not affiliated with the campus, inviting others to pray with him via a sign he posted. The man was told “that if he wanted to erect a sign and invite a gathering, he would need to reserve one of the areas of campus designated as available to the public for this type of activity,” according to the statement.

A group of Clemson students plan a rally today in the area where the community evangelist was told he was violating a campus policy. The group WeRoar Clemson describes itself as a “movement” that seeks to “promote freedom of speech and the marketplace of ideas on campus.”

Clemson spokeswoman Robin Denny said the school would not interfere with today’s rally.

VICTIMS FROM PAGE A1 part-time victims’ advocate.

Each day, the victims’ advocates review incident reports before following up with victims. Advocates can also be called out to crime scenes, hospitals or to the victim’s home where they can get the full effect of the situation.

“Most times we are the first advocate the victims see,” Wiley said.

As victims’ advocates, Wiley and Gonzalez work with victims of domestic violence, physical and sexual abuse and family members of suicide and homicide victims.

Wiley said advocates assist all victims such as burglary victims, for example.

She said the majority of their work consists of providing referrals to counselors; legal, medical and financial assistance contacts; and accompanying victims to court and other appointments.

“We’re just there for them for whatever they need,” Wiley said.

The role of an advocate is to support victims of crimes, but sometimes that task can be a lot to deal with.

Both Gonzalez and Wiley said they turn to prayer when they come across tough cases or are feeling overwhelmed by the details of an incident.

Gonzalez said she also writes to help get some of the thoughts off her mind.

“Faith means a lot; prayer means a lot,” Wiley said. She said women’s empowerment events also give her strength.

Wiley said she and the other victims’ advocates also talk with each other or attend debriefings where they discuss the incident and their experiences along with the responding officers.

Victims’ advocates can also speak with a licensed counselor provided by South Carolina Law Enforcement Assistance Program, she said.

Even with multiple outlets, responding to incidents can eventually take its toll on the advocate.

“Sometimes I feel like I become numb,” Wiley said. “It depends on what I’m faced with.”

But, despite how an advocate may feel about a situation, she still has to respond.

“I have to be supportive and put my feelings aside

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — A massive fireball and explosion erupted Thursday at SpaceX’s main launch pad, destroying a rocket as well as a satellite that Facebook was counting on to spread internet service in Africa.

There were no injuries.

The pad had been cleared of workers before what was supposed to be a routine pre-launch rocket test.

SpaceX chief Elon Musk said the accident occurred during the fueling of the rocket and originated around the upper-stage oxygen tank.

“Cause still unknown,” Musk said via Twitter.

“More soon.”

The explosion — heard and felt for miles around — dealt a severe blow to SpaceX, still scrambling to catch up with satellite deliveries after a launch accident last year. It’s also a setback for NASA, which has been relying on the pri-

Homeless students get more attention under new law BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — School administrators this year are being pushed to get better at recognizing homeless students — those “hidden” in other people’s homes or whose families are staying in places such as campgrounds, motels and cars — and to keep them in school even if they’re missing paperwork or move around.

The count of homeless students enrolled in American schools, now more than 1.3 million, is nearly double what it was a decade ago. The number is expected to grow — or rather, become more accurate — as schools relax enrollment barriers and strengthen the role of district liaisons charged with identifying and connecting homeless students with services.

The provisions take effect Oct. 1 under an expansion of homeless services in a new education law, which also will require states to break out achievement and graduation rates among the homeless. Homeless children are especially vulnerable to chronic absence and poor grades.

“I think there are many,

Edwards completed high school while homeless after receiving bus transportation from the residence to his former school under a provision that is being expanded under the new education law. many more of them than anyone is counting,” said Kris Amundson, a former homeless shelter executive who heads the National Association of State Boards of Education.

Barbara Duffield, director of policy and programs for the National Association for the Education of Homeless Children and Youth, attributes the rise in student homelessness to lingering ef-

fects from the recession, the opioid crisis and better reporting.

Tyren Jones managed to find places to stay after his grandmother would no longer let him stay in her Buffalo apartment — a crack house, his godmother’s home, with a friend — what’s called “couch surfing.”

With no birth certificate or other records, Jones said, it was impossible to get a job.

But without a legal guardian — his father is in prison, his mother out of state — he couldn’t get back into school, either, after a suspension. He stumbled upon a youth shelter, which got him placed in a suburban Buffalo homeless residence and helped navigate the road back to school. He begins his senior year this month.

“Eventually, we will see an increase in the number of homeless students who graduate and go on to college,” Duffield said, “because there are many, many provisions about making school more stable, getting credit for work you’ve done, having access to early childhood programs.”

ETV won’t televise S.C. candidate debates

COLUMBIA — South Carolina’s public broadcasting network won’t televise debates between the state’s candidates ahead of fall’s general election.

The State reported South Carolina Educational Television made the decision Monday after receiving a request to televise a planned 2nd District face-off between U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson and his Democratic challenger, Columbia librarian Arik Bjorn. SCETV spokesman Tom Posey said the network’s decision is common in election cycles that don’t include gubernatorial races.

After spending part of his senior year of high school living in a crawl space under a bridge, a rented storage unit and a friend’s car, 18-year-old James Edwards packed this August for college, something that seemed out of reach for the New York teenager only months earlier, when he left home amid family turmoil and was stealing supermarket food and showering at school.

After a guidance counselor steered him toward services and placement in a residence, Edwards, under a provision being expanded to preschoolers, was given daily bus transportation to the school he’d been attending before, even though his residential placement took him miles outside the district’s boundaries. He said the arrangement gave him stability both at home and school.

“If I didn’t have this house, for all I know I probably wouldn’t be alive right now,” said Edwards, wearing a cap from his new school, Alfred State College, in the rec room of the Plymouth Crossroads residence in Lancaster, where Jones also lives.

Some Hispanic leaders feel misled by Trump CINCINNATI (AP) — “Crushed.” “Disappointed.”

“Confused.”

Some Hispanic leaders who have been advising Donald Trump say they feel betrayed after his long-awaited immigration speech that definitively ruled out a pathway to legal status for people living in the country illegally.

Trump stopped short of calling for the mass deportation of millions of people who have not committed crimes beyond their immigration offenses. But he also ruled out what he dismissed as “amnesty,” saying those who want to live legally in the U.S. will need to leave and head to the back of the line in their home countries.

“People will know that you can’t just smuggle in, hunker down and wait to be legalized,” Trump declared in his hard-line speech Wednesday night. “Those days are over.”

The language caught off guard a group of Hispanic faith and business leaders who have been advising him, often in the face of criticism from their own communities.

In closed-door meetings and

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

After delivering an immigration policy speech during a campaign rally at Phoenix Convention Center on Wednesday in Phoenix, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump hugs a woman whose child was killed by a person living in the country without legal permission. phone calls, Trump had given many the impression that he was prepared to soften his stance on immigration as he

tries to court more moderate, general election voters and boost his standing with Hispanics and other minorities.

Now, some feel Trump misled them.

“There’s several of us who have gone out on a limb, if you will, to try to at least be at the table of reason with him, and that’s left us confused and disappointed,” said Tony Suarez, the executive vice president of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference. He’s been among those pushing Trump to moderate his stance.

As recently as Monday, he said, the GOP presidential nominee had signaled on a conference call with faith leaders that they could expect to see a gentler, more compassionate Trump in the speech. Trump, Suarez said, was asked explicitly whether they would see a softening or any “hope” for at least some of the people currently living in the shadows.

“He said, ‘Yes,’ and he thought we would be very pleased on Wednesday,” said Suarez. “The impression given on the call was not what we heard last night.”

Alfonso Aguilar, president of the Latino Partnership for

Conservative Principles, had prominently endorsed Trump after initially opposing his candidacy. He, too, said Trump had signaled a willingness to moderate some of his immigration plans, including limiting his call for deportations to those convicted of crimes.

“At this point, I just don’t see how I can support him.

So I’m withdrawing my support,” Aguilar said. “I was expecting something very different last night. I’m not naive; I knew who I was dealing with. I knew this could happen. It was a risk.”

“From a political perspective, this is the end of Donald Trump. I really think now he’s definitely going to lose.”

Trump’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

But Pastor Darrell Scott, CEO of Trump’s National Diversity Coalition, said there was no way for the candidate to please everyone.

“If he backs off they accuse him of flip-flopping. If he doesn’t, he’s disappointing,” Scott said, praising the speech.

PREP FROM PAGE A1 be careful while on the roads today. The city has been working to repair and clear roadways and drains that have the potential to flood, but drivers should still proceed with caution because some areas are more prone to flooding than others, he said.

Sumter County Sheriff Anthony Dennis cautions residents to remain alert should the storm hit the Sumter area as expected.

“People should remain indoors if at all possible,” he said. “No one should be out driving unless they absolutely have to.”

Dennis said residents should be aware of the dangers that could come with high winds such as downed power lines, falling tree limbs or even falling trees.

STORM

The sheriff said his office has emergency teams ready to respond to emergencies should they arise.

Sumter Police Department encourages residents to prepare for the possibility of flash flooding and power outages.

Updates on weather conditions and emergency measures will be announced on area media outlets and on social media as they become available, according to a news release from the department.

The police department suggests that residents stay informed of storm watches and warnings and have a supply of non-perishable food items, bottled water, medications, flashlights and batteries on hand.

The department also warns residents to not drive around cones and barriers and to never attempt to drive through rising water on the roadways. Turn

enough of a shift to take us out of the woods,” he said.

He said the biggest impact will be during the day today, before tapering off in this evening.

The strongest winds will move into the Central Savannah River area after sunrise and into the Midlands this afternoon and evening, he said.

In the Sumter area, those winds are expected to be from 40 to 45 mph with higher gusts possible.

The greatest threat for severe weather, including heavy rains and a possibility of isolated tornadoes, will be ahead of Hermine, he said Anderson said Sumter should see from 4 to 6 inches of rain, with most of that coming during the day, with isolated amounts of 8 to 10 inches.

FROM PAGE A1 doors and windows, just in case,” he said. “They know that it will be hard to find them after the storm.”

Hermine officially became a hurricane Thursday, as Hurricane Hunter aircraft observed winds of 75 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center.

National Weather Service Meteorologist Doug Anderson, a Sumter resident, said there remains some uncertainty in the storm’s predicted track, which has shifted back closer to the South Carolina coast, but he expects there to still be significant effects in our area.

“There will still be slight adjustments on the track but not

For more information, contact Sumter Police Department at (803) 436-2700. In case of an emergency, always dial 911.

He said there is a strong upper-level trough developing in the Great Lakes region and over the Ohio Valley which is pushing a cold front down into Tennessee and Virginia.

“We are expecting strong thunderstorms up around Greenville and Spartanburg,” he said.

The cold front will stall out and won’t move through Sum-

are not just to arrest people but to prevent loss of life, he said.

About this time of year, there are many fatalities related to DUIs or distracted drivers, so the sheriff’s office will partner with South Carolina Highway Patrol on this operation, Dennis said.

Tonyia McGirt, public information officer for Sumter Police Department, said the agency’s main focus is making sure residents, visitors and property are safe during the inclement weather that is expected today and tonight.

However, as conditions clear, the department asks that drivers slow down, follow speed limits and look out for pedestrians, bicyclists and golf carts, she said. And celebration plans for those who plan to drink alcohol should include having a designated driver.

If you encounter someone who appears to be driving impaired, call 911 or *HP immediately with a location, vehicle description, direction of travel and, if possible, a license tag number.

McGirt said officers will continue to monitor neighborhoods and businesses throughout the weekend.

ter until Hermine has passed late today and early Saturday morning, he said.

“Then we will see that cooler, drier air coming in,” Anderson said.

The cold front will entrain cooler air into Hermine and it will become a colder core system as it moves up along the coast and into the Northeast, he said.

Anderson said it doesn’t look like the area will see a widespread flooding event similar to October 2015, but roadways will flood in low-lying areas.

“It’s really important that people keep aware of what’s going on around them and don’t try to cross any flooded roadways or anything like that,” Anderson warned.

Netflix launches new season of gritty drama ‘Narcos’

BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH Netflix begins streaming the second season of “Narcos” beginning today. Brazilian actor Wagner Moura portrays the real-life Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar in this surprisingly rich character study of the rebel, entrepreneur, husband and philanthropist at the center of the 1980s drug scourge.

Not unlike the recent ESPN 2 documentary “Pin Kings,” this drama follows the parallel lives of dealers and their pursuers in the Colombian police and military as well as the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency.

“Narcos” is hardly the only ongoing drama set in this milieu. USA has the more flashy and stylized “Queen of the South.” Sundance has just launched the acclaimed Italian drug-dealing crime family saga “Gomorrah,” and Starz has enjoyed success with “Power,” the tale of a drug dealer and club owner trying to go straight, produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.

• Peter Gallagher stars as Jonathan Reeves, the embattled director of the American Ballet Academy in “Center Stage: On Pointe” (8 p.m., LMN) the second sequel to the 2000 dance drama “Center Stage.”

Reeves and his company face financial ruin because of his dedication to classic ballet and resistance to gimmicky trends. This leads him to agree to the reality-TV style competition at the heart of this rather listless TV movie.

Backstage drama revolves around Bella Parker (Nicole Munoz), a spunky striver who has lived in the shadow of her ballerina sister and who spends the dance camp evading the passive-aggressive sabotage of snootier

I'm worried my house will start to smell. After she leaves I have to go around spraying and mopping. I'm sure she wears adult diapers because after she leaves we find them in our trash. They

How do I ask her nicely not to sit on my furniture? I would love to suggest having her get medical help, but am afraid she would be insulted and I don't know how to address it. I love her, but not her messes!

Gritting my teeth DEAR GRITTING — According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than half of seniors are plagued by incontinence. It happens to both sexes, but bladder incontinence happens more often to women. Many seniors find it so embarrassing that they are afraid to discuss it with their doctors.

Because your relative's in-

continence is causing you a problem, you must discuss it with her. Say you love her, and encourage her to talk to her doctor by explaining that this is a common problem. A solution might be to buy a plastic slipcover for her favorite chair or have her sit in one that will cause you less of a problem.

COMMENTARY

The only solution to immigration W

ASHINGTON — The one great service of Donald Trump’s extended peregrinations on immigration policy is to have demonstrated how, in the end, there’s only one place to go.

You can rail for a year about the squishy soft, weak-kneed and stupid politicians who have opened our borders to the wretched refuse of Mexico. You can promise to round them up — the refuse, that is, not the politicians (they’re next) — and deport them.

And that may win you a plurality of Republican primary votes.

But eventually you have to let it Charles Krauthammer go. For all his incendiary language and clanging contradictions, Trump did exactly that in Phoenix on Wednesday. His “deportation task force” will be hunting ... criminal aliens.

Isn’t that the enforcement priority of President Obama, heretofore excoriated as the ultimate immigration patsy?

And what happens to the noncriminal illegal immigrants? On that, Trump punted. Their “appropriate disposition” will be considered “in several years when we have … ended illegal immigration for good.” Everyone knows what that means: One way or another, they will be allowed to stay.

Trump’s retreat points the way to the only serious solution: enforcement plus legalization. The required enforcement measures are well known — from a national E-Verify system that makes it just about impossible to work if you are here illegally to intensified border patrol and high-tech tracking.

The one provision that, thanks to Trump, gets the most attention is a border wall. It’s hard to understand the opposition. It’s the most venerable and reliable way to keep people out. The triple fence outside San Diego led to a 90 percent reduction in infiltration.

Israel’s border fence with the West Bank has produced a similar decline in terror attacks into Israel.

The main objection is symbolic.

Walls, we are told, denote prisons.

But only if they are built to keep people in, not if they are for keeping outsiders out. City walls, going back to Jericho, are there for protection. Even holier-than-thou Europeans have conceded the point as one country after another — Hungary, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Austria, Greece, Spain, why even Norway — has started building border fences to stem the tide of Middle Eastern refugees.

The other part of the immigration bargain is legalization. What do you do with the 11 million al-

ready here? In theory, you could do nothing. The problem ultimately solves itself as the generation of the desert — those who crossed the border originally — is eventually replaced by its Americanborn children who are automatically legal and landed.

But formal legalization is a political necessity. It gets buy-in from Democrats who for whatever reason — self-styled humanitarianism or bare-knuckled partisanship — have no interest in real border enforcement. Legalization is the quid pro quo. If they want to bring the immigrants “out of the shadows,” they must endorse serious enforcement.

Such a grand bargain could and would command a vast national consensus. The American public will accept today’s illegal immigrants if it is convinced that this will be the last such cohort.

This was the premise of the 1986 Reagan amnesty. It legalized almost 3 million immigrants. Because it never enforced the border, however, three has become 11.

And that’s why the Gang of Eight failed. They too got the sequencing wrong. The left insisted on legalization first. The Gang’s Republicans ultimately acquiesced because they figured, correctly, this was the best deal they could get in an era of Democratic control.

The problem is that legalization is essentially irreversible and would have gone into effect on Day One. Enforcement was a mere promise.

Hence the emerging Republican consensus, now that Trump has abandoned mass deportation: a heavy and detailed concentration on enforcement, leaving the question of what happens to those already here either unspoken (Trump on Wednesday) or to be treated “case by case” (Trump last week).

The Trump detour into — and retreat from — deportation has proved salutary. Even the blustering tough guy had to dismiss it with “we’re not looking to hurt people.”

The ultimate national consensus, however, lies one step further down the road. Why leave legalization for some future discussion?

Get it done. Once the river of illegal immigration has been demonstrably and securely reduced to a trickle, the country will readily exercise its natural magnanimity and legalize.

So why not agree now? Say it and sign it. To get, you have to give. That’s the art of the deal, is it not?

NOTABLE & QUOTABLE Dan Pfeiffer, former senior adviser to President Obama for strategy and communications, and Jon Favreau, former director of speechwriting, Aug. 26 on the podcast “Keepin’ It 1600”:

taxes on estates and short-term capital gains and a 4 percent surtax on the most successful individuals.

Pfeiffer: The press gets bored of writing the same story over and over again, and they almost start to feel guilty about writing s—ty stories about the same person all the time, and they want to do something different. So it’s a classic move to do two things: One, fire someone. Press doesn’t even care who, right? ... “Huge problem in the VA, oh, someone got fired? OK, that’s fine then, we don’t worry about that any more.”

Or, stand in the middle of Pennsylvania Avenue, wave your arms in the air and say “we’re pivoting.” It’s a total bulls—t thing. You and I have been a part of many bulls—t pivots.

Favreau: Many a pivot.

Pfeiffer: Yes, we quote unquote pivoted to jobs like a thousand times. (laughter) Every time the press is like, “Yet another pivot to jobs? Oh, he’s pivoting to jobs!

Let’s write about that.” They all fall for it.

Gerald Harris, a resident of San Francisco, discusses “What Colin Kaepernick’s Protest Looks Like to a Black 49ers Fan.” Read it online in www.nytimes.com:

••• Writing in The New York Times, senior Trump adviser David Malpass discusses “Why This Economy Needs Donald Trump.”

This year, the media has been focused largely on the election process — campaign managers, speaking styles, every slip and misstep. That’s been entertaining, but the policy differences between the two sides are much more important, and the most crucial difference may be over economic policy.

To restart growth, Mr. Trump would immediately lower tax rates, including for middle-income voters, and simplify the tax code. Americans would be able to exempt average child-care expenses from taxes, and Mr. Trump’s administration would eliminate the death tax, which falls especially hard on some small businesses and farmers.

To help create a flood of new business investment and jobs, the Trump plan would reduce corporate tax rates to 15 percent while eliminating or capping many tax deductions. This would simplify the tax system, making us much more competitive with countries and a magnet for new jobs.

Mrs. Clinton wants to go in the opposite direction, depressing job growth with an uncompetitive corporate tax rate, higher

•••

Why are we, as sports fans, continually surprised when one of our heroes turns out to be a real person with real feelings who is living in the same world we also live in? And when that athlete is black, why does white America respond with anger, as if the hero has broken some kind of sacred rule or understood deal? That deal seems to be, “You just go out and win games, collect your check, and if we really like you, you can retire and sell us stuff in TV commercials.”

Colin Kaepernick, a quarterback for San Francisco, the city I love and pay a lot to live in, is the latest in a long line of black athletes who have decided to be real people with real concerns about the black community. This tends to happen when issues become so pressing that they break the heart of the athlete and pierce a wall they might choose to stay behind.

It was the Vietnam War for Muhammad Ali, the civil rights movement for countless others. For Kaepernick, it is the way black and brown people, just like him, are treated in the United States. He felt he could no longer stand for the national anthem at the beginning of 49ers games.

I have been a fan of the team since the late ’70s, and I vividly remember “the Catch” by Dwight Clark in ’82 and our championship days. Back then, the fan base in the seats was much more local and diverse. Now, it seems, most of the people cheering in the stadium are white and from all over the Bay Area, since even the 49ers can’t afford to actually play in the city — the stadium is farther south, in Santa Clara.

Similarly, it seems to me, the heavily white and increasingly wealthy population in San Francisco wants the shrinking black population to just move along and not make too much noise as the gentrification continues. Black people can score for their teams, but just don’t try to live next door — or expect to find a job that pays enough for you to afford to live here in the first place.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR WE HAVE TO CHOOSE ‘BEST OF THE WORST’ FOR U.S. Mr. Trump seems to be getting somewhat “soft” on his immigration policy, and this isn’t too bad. However, let’s not make it too easy for people to enter America. This is still “our” country (at least it used to be).

When my grandparents came to America, they had rules and regulations they had to abide by and they did, willingly. They were glad to be here and didn’t demand we take care of them; help, yes, but not demand as things are done now. Too many things are “handed” to immigrants instead of insisting they work

for it. Trump may be able to send some of these people back to their country of origin, and I hope he does, but do it rationally and justifiably.

Both candidates claim they have a “fix” for the Affordable Care Act. However, I’m afraid we’re stuck with it. I wish them luck, and I hope it can be rectified or overturned.

These are trying times for us so I hope that voters make good choices and we elect a president who can lead us to a better future, for our children and grandchildren. Good Americans can and will survive; we have the intestinal fortitude to do so; we live in the best of times. We are sur-

vivors. It’s unfortunate we’re being asked to choose the “best of the worst” for our leadership.

God bless America.

PAUL KORZEC Manning

WILSON WOULD BE BETTER CHOICE FOR COUNTY COUNCIL If you vote for Jimmy Byrd in the upcoming election, you will be voting for poor schools and poorly educated children.

On many occasions, Jimmy Byrd has opposed tax increases for schools and then blamed the schools for their budget problems. By the same token, he has supported spending funds for corrupt

purposes like crony support.

You may recall the school board and Sumter County Council meeting at University of South Carolina Sumter to discuss funding before Dr. Frank Baker took over. Eugene Baten was chairman of county council and assured residents that council had not discussed funds for schools. As Chairman Baten spoke, Jimmy Byrd was asking around and informing his cronies that he had the votes to kill the increased funds for schools.

Dr. Baker is one of the best superintendents in the state and has proven his ability to run our schools. Jimmy

Byrd’s reluctance to increase funds for our schools will make it difficult to hire and retain good teachers, nurses and administrators.

It is time for Jimmy Byrd to go. I believe that Patty Wilson would be a much better choice for county council. She has been involved in the community and has worked to bring our races together. She is committed to working against corruption in government and has the interest of our schoolchildren at heart.

In my opinion, she would make an excellent choice for county council.

Gamecocks knock off Goose Creek 17-3

By Neill Kirkpatrick Special to The Sumter Item GOOSE CREEK – Sumter High School football head coach Mark Barnes knew his team would have to be physical against a team known for its physicality in Goose Creek on barnes Thursday. And when the final whistle sounded, his Gamecocks walked off the field with a hard fought 17-3 victory at

the Goose Creek field.

“We knew this game was going to be a physical on both sides of the ball, and I feel we were more physical than they were. We beat a good team tonight,” said Barnes, whose team improved to 2-1 on the season.

The Gamecocks served notice on the Gators’ first two possessions that they would not be pushed around as they forced a punt after giving up one first down and then held the Gators to minus six yards on their second possession.

The Gamecocks scored all

the points they would need on their second possession of the game as they rode the legs of senior running back Rodney

Pitts to go 31 yards in 7 plays with Pitts scoring his first touchdown of the night from three yards out. The extra point made it 7-0.

The defense, led by linemen Robert Williams and Ronald McGee, then took over and held the Gators’ vaunted rushing attack to less than 200 yards on the night.

Placekicker Nicholas Thurman added to the Gamecock lead when he hit a 22-yard field goal in the third quarter to make it 10-3.

The final Sumter score was a 7-yard Pitts run with 2:51 to

go in the game. On the night, Pitts finished with 120 yards to lead all runners. It was his third straight 100-yard rushing game.

Quarterback Zykiem Jackson added 98 yards on the ground.

“Rodney is a great player. He is an explosive player, but he showed tonight he could be a physical when he has to be. I thought Zykiem also ran the ball well,” Barnes said.

Goose Creek fell to 0-2.

Vanderbilt running back Khari Blasingame (23) scores a touchdown in the Commodores’ 13-10 loss to USC on Thursday.

KEITH GEDAMKE/THE SUMTER ITEM

Laurence Manning’s Brewer Brunson (3) and Ryan Touchberry (38) combine to wrap up Hammond’s Anthony Wilson in the Skyhawks’ 28-7 victory on Thursday in Manning.

Momentum gained, lost LMA hangs with champs before Skyhawks pull way for 28-7 win MANNING -- For about three quarters, Laurence Manning Academy’s varsity football team stayed right with SCISA 3A power Hammond Academy, trailing just 14-7 after Braydon Osteen connected with Taylor Lee for a 55-yard catch-and-run touchdown with 2:10 left in the third.

Just as quickly as the Swampcats grabbed some momentum though, the Skyhawks took it right back after a 50-yard kickoff return from Jack Theodore. From there, Anthony Wilson ripped off runs of 22 and 21 yards to put Hammond in the end zone

and stretch the lead back to 14, 21-7, with 1:22 to go.

LMA struck on its next play from scrimmage for what appeared to be a 65yard touchdown play, with Osteen finding Grayson Dennis down the right sideline, but officials ruled that Dennis pushed off on the play.

On the next play, Osteen was picked off by Braxton Newman, setting up a 50-yard touchdown pass from Corbett Glick to George Folline on the opening play of the final quarter as Hammond pulled away for a 28-7 victory at Billy Chitwood Field.

“Real disappointed,” LMA

head coach Robbie Briggs said as his team fell to 2-1 on the season. “We had a couple of kids that had to fill in for guys that got injured, and they had no idea what was going on. Evidently we didn’t coach our backups well enough. Losing your best player in the game (running back/defensive back Shakeel Robinson, who came out with an ankle injury) hurts early.

“We had a lot of great effort by some individual guys, we had one blown coverage for a touchdown, we had a call where a gentleman had a touchdown and they said he

pushed off. A close game turned into a 28-7 game, and you’ve got to give them a lot of credit. They’re a class program, they do things well and evidently we didn’t coach well enough to get it done tonight because we had a lot of guys making a lot of mental mistakes that they didn’t make in the first two weeks.”

LMA’s defense kept Hammond’s offense relatively quiet, as the Skyhawks did not have a first down until the final play of the opening quarter. That move of the

Late FG lifts USC, 13-10 The Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Elliott Fry kicked a career-long 55-yard field goal with 35 seconds left, and the South Carolina Gamecocks rallied from a 10-point halftime deficit to beat Vanderbilt 13-10 Thursday night in Will Muschamp’s debut as head coach.

Muschamp started Perry Orth at quarterback and also played freshman Brandon McIlwain. But it was Orth who went back into the game in the third quarter and threw for 152 yards rallying the Gamecocks to their eighth straight victory over Vanderbilt in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams.

Vanderbilt now is 0-3 in season openers under coach Derek Mason, though his Commodores did manage to score an offensive touchdown in the first half. But Tommy Openshaw missed a 45-yard field goal wide left with 3:44 left, and Vandy turned it over on downs with 14 seconds left.

Big plays, turnovers help Manning top Gators 34-12

BY JUSTIN DRIGGERS justin@theitem.com MANNING -- It was a somewhat unfamiliar feeling for the Manning and Lakewood high school football teams on Thursday at Ramsey Stadium as the threat of inclement weather forced the game to be played a day earlier than usual.

By the end of the game, however, it was an all-too familiar feeling for both the Monarchs and Gators.

Manning’s big-play offense shined again as quarterback Jalen White threw for 118 yards and three touchdowns.

Meanwhile Lakewood saw its turnover issues continue as four lost fumbles and two in-

terceptions helped MHS come away with a 34-12 victory.

The Monarchs are now 2-1 on the year and will travel to Crestwood next Friday. Lakewood falls to 0-3 and will host Colleton County.

“It was kind of a game of big plays and turnovers,” Manning head coach Keith West said. “We took advantage of some of their mistakes and they scored off of two of ours.

“But I thought defensively we controlled the game for the most part and didn’t really let them get any big drives on us.”

The Monarch D was especially tough in the first half, holding the Gators to less

than 20 yards of total offense.

LHS’ longest drive of the night was nine plays and that didn’t result in a score.

“We were banged up along the interior lines,” Gators head coach Brian Jackson said. “We pulled some of the defensive line guys over, but (Manning) had a good game plan and shot the gaps.

“I thought offensively we had a good game plan, too.

We just didn’t execute by catching the ball, and when we did, we gave it away.”

Two of Lakewood’s miscues were especially beneficial for the Monarchs. Leading 7-6 with time winding down in the first half, a fumble inside the LHS 15 set up White’s 12-yard TD strike to

Greg Canty for a 14-6 Manning lead at the break.

Then in the third quarter, a Gator fumble was picked up and returned 51 yards for a score by Charlie Murray as MHS took a 27-6 advantage at the time. Johnnie Gilliam recovered two of the other fumbles for Manning.

“It wasn’t so much picks tonight as it was dropping the ball,” Jackson said of his team’s seven total fumbles.

“We fumbled the opening kickoff. We had six last week and just have a case of the drops. I don’t have an answer for it right now.”

The Monarchs started to find answers on offense after

U.S. Open Tennis

As rain pelts Open roof, Murray wins

By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer NEW YORK — When heavy rain began pelting the closed roof atop Arthur Ashe Stadium, Andy Murray couldn’t pick up the usual sounds of a tennis match.

Most importantly, he said, the thwack of a ball coming off his opponent’s racket strings — or his own, for that matter — was completely indiscernible during a 6-4, 6-1, 6-4 second-round victory over Marcel Granollers at the U.S. Open on Thursday.

As it is, the $150 million retractable cover making its tournament debut this week makes the main stadium louder because the structure, even when open, traps the sounds of spectators chatting in the stands.

“You can’t hear anything, really,” 2012 U.S. Open champion Murray said. “I mean, you could hear the line calls.”

But that was about it.

As Murray and Granollers played, there was a constant din during points, an amalgam of the downpour bouncing off the outside of the roof and the murmur of the crowd bouncing off the inside. From a seat in the 10th row parallel to a baseline, the racket-ball impact was rendered silent by a louder version of what you hear when you hold a seashell to your ear.

It’s not simply that it’s an unfamiliar soundtrack for a Grand Slam match. It affects the competition.

“We use our ears when we play. It’s not just the eyes.

Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, right, defeated Kristina Mladenovic in the longest women’s singles mtach in U.S. Open history on Thursday. The match lasted for 3 hours, 2 minutes.

(The sound) helps us pick up the speed of the ball, the spin that’s on the ball, how hard someone’s hitting it. If we played with our ears covered or with headphones on, it would be a big advantage if your opponent wasn’t wearing them,” Murray explained. “It’s tricky. You can still do it, but it’s harder, for sure.”

Because of Thursday’s wet weather, action around the grounds was limited until the early evening. Winners included seven-time major champion Venus Williams, who beat Julia Goerges 6-2, 6-3, and No. 5 Simona Halep, who eliminated Lucie Safarova 6-3, 6-4 in a meeting between past French Open finalists that was the first contest played entirely with the roof closed (it was shut for the first time during a match midway through Rafael Nadal’s victory Wednesday).

Serena, seeking a recordbreaking 23rd Grand Slam title, defeated Vania King in the night session.

Men advancing included No. 6 Kei Nishikori and No. 8 Dominic Thiem. Juan Martin del Potro, the 2009 champion, was scheduled to face 19th-seeded Steve Johnson of the U.S. at night.

It took 3 hours, 2 minutes, equaling the fifth-longest U.S. Open women’s singles match on record, for 17thseeded Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia to get past Kristina Mladenovic of France and reach the third round.

Pavlyuchenkova, a quarterfinalist in New York in 2011, came out on top 6-2, 4-6, 7-6 (5) on Wednesday.

The time of Pavlyuchenkova’s victory was the same as for a loss by Venus Williams loss at Flushing Meadows in 2013, and also for a win by Caroline Wozniacki in 2011.

Porter-Gaud dominates in 38-0 victory over Wilson Hall

By DENNIS BRUNSON dennis@theitem.com Adam Jarecki struggled to find words to say after Wilson Hall’s football game against Porter-Gaud on Thursday.

“We’re working hard, but we’ve got to get better,” the Barons head coach said following their 38-0 loss at Spencer Field.

“That’s the botjarecki tom line. We’ve got to get better.”

WH, which fell to 1-1 on the season, was unable to do much of anything right. It had just 42 yards of total offense, rushing for just 12 yards on 30 carries. Quarterbacks Jacob Cotton and Burgess Jordan combined to complete 5 of 15 pass-

es for 30 yards while tossing three interceptions.

“We’ve got to find our identity,” said Jarecki, whose team won its opener over Robert E. Lee Academy 7-6 last week.

“We’ve got to figure out what it is that we do well.”

The Cyclones improved to 3-0, now having outscored their opponents 137-6.

“That’s a really good football team over there,” Jarecki said of Porter-Gaud, which beat Garrett 48-6 in its opener and followed it with a 51-0 win over Charleston Math & Science.

“We’ve got to improve, but you have to give them a lot of credit.”

Porter-Gaud quarterback Oliver Michaud completed 14 of 23 passes for 176 yards and two touchdowns against just one interception. Eric Jack-

son caught eight of those passes for 114 yards and both of the scores. He also ran for a score.

P-G finished with 186 yards for 362 yards of total offense.

“I was a little disappointed with the way we played defensively,” Jarecki said. “I thought we had a good game plan to take away things they like to do on the outside, but they adjusted and did some other things.”

Wilson Hall received the opening kickoff and had to punt after three plays from its 11-yard line. Jackson hauled in the punt at his 48 and returned it 20 yards to the Barons 30.

The Cyclones needed just five plays to get in the end zone. After picking up a first down at the 16, Stockton Fair went 14 yards with Jackson

punching it in from two yards out on the next play. Coleman Smith’s extra point made it 7-0 with 8:34 left in the first quarter.

WH caught a break when Mills Herlong’s punt hit a P-G player and Greyson Young recovered at the Porter-Gaud 26.

Wilson Hall couldn’t capitalize though as Cotton was sacked for a 9-yard loss on fourth down and six yards to go.

The Cyclones went down the field for a score, most of it coming between Michaud and Jackson. They connected on a 24-yard pass before hooking up for a 29-yard score on fourth and 14 with 54 seconds remaining in the first quarter.

An interception by PorterGaud’s Blake Sanford set it up at the Barons 23. A 14-yard completion by Michaud to

Derrick Main set up a 6-yard scoring run by Jackson.

Smith’s extra point made it 21-0 with 2:56 to go in the first half.

Smith booted a 22-yard field goal on the final play of the first half to make it 24-0.

The Cyclones picked up where they left off in the second half, taking the opening kickoff and marching 83 yards in eight plays. The first seven plays were all on the ground, the big one being a 21-yard run

by Michaud on a QB draw.

The final 12 came on a Michaud-to-Jackson hookup with 8:21 left in the third quarter.

The Cyclones got their final score after Wilson Hall fumbled the football away at its 8.

Fair scored on the next play, helping make it 38-0 with 4:55 to go.

“We need to play better when games aren’t easy.”

From Page B1 chains came during an extended drive that resulted in a major stop for LMA. The drive went for 71 yards over 17 plays, with Glick rushing for what appeared to be a score on the drive’s 13th play. An illegal shift by Hammond would bring the ball back to the 11, where the Swampcat defense held to force a 27-yard field goal attempt from Lake Barrett that would come up short.

LMA’s offense could not build on the momentum created by that stop as the Swampcats made just one first down before having to punt the ball back to the Skyhawks. Hammond then went on a 9-play, 68-yard drive that would culminate with a 23-yard pass from Glick to Theodore for the game’s first score.

Briggs watched as Osteen struggled to find time to set up plays behind an offensive line that struggled through much of the opening period. When

robbie Briggs he did have time, Osteen was able to connect with Lee for nine receptions totaling 97 yards. The senior signal caller completed 13 of 26 pass attempts for 127 yards as the Swampcats could not pull off enough big plays to overcome the Skyhawks.

“It’s a 14-7 game. You get a stop and then you’ve got the ball back,” Briggs said. “We never put pressure on them.

They never had a situation where they had pressure on them. We need to play better when games aren’t easy. We need to play better when things get a little bit tough, and we also have to coach better.”

LMA travels to Columbia on Friday to take on Cardinal Newman.

White opened the third quarter with another TD strike, this time to Williams from six yards out, and finished his night with a 44-yard pass to David Fulton in the fourth quarter to all-but seal the victory.

“Jabril Wilson kind of got our running game going late and our quarterback made some big runs to keep some drives alive and made some big passes as well,” West said.

“We’ve still got to do a better job of running the ball more consistently, though.”

The Monarchs also struggled with penalties as 10 were assessed against them, including three personal fouls.

“We jumped offsides way too much on offense and defense and too many personal fouls,” West said.

“That’s the first time we’ve done that this year so we definitely have to improve on that.”

Special teams as well, West added.

Both Gator touchdowns came following misplays on punt attempts by Manning.

One punt was blocked by Tyreek Johnson, setting Lakewood up at the MHS 1-yard line and leading to Javontae Jones’ plunge into the end zone.

The other gave them a first down inside the Manning 27 that Dajon Howard turned into a score with a 27-yard run in the third quarter that cut the deficit to just 27-12 at the time.

Auburn, Clemson defensive lines have something to prove in opener

By JOHN ZENOR AP Sports Writer AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn’s defensive line is one of the best in the Southeastern Conference, judging it solely on recruiting rankings.

Opposing quarterbacks’ sometimes pristine jerseys the past two seasons tell a different story.

The Tigers open Saturday night with the formidable challenge of chasing after No. 2 Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson and tailback Wayne Gallman. Auburn’s line also is hoping to live up to some of the preseason praise its received, though it has been based more on promise than performance.

Defensive tackle Montravius Adams, defensive end Carl Lawson and a pair of backups on the line are all former five-star recruits. Freshman Marlon Davidson, who won the starting job opposite Lawson, leads a group of four-star prospects.

It certainly appears to be the strength of the defense.

“We really want to live up to it a lot,” Adams said. “We haven’t really had that good defensive line like everybody wanted. We haven’t been too good on third down and getting off the field. We just want to live up to the hype like we know we can.”

Clemson’s defensive front has something to prove also: That the group can replace NFL first-round pick Shaq Lawson and his pass rushing partner Kevin Dodd, an early second-rounder after a strong performance in the national championship game against Alabama.

Christian Wilkins turned in a big freshman season and can play both end and tackle. Fellow sophomore Richard Yeargin or Wilkins will start at one of the end spots, along with redshirt freshman Clelin Ferrell. Defensive end Austin Bryant is expected to be out for three games with a foot injury.

“We got a few more guys, (but) defensive end we lost two first-round type of guys,” Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables said. “That is what it is.

Really like the players that we have there. Think they really have a bright future. Just got to grow them up there.

Just watching tape in fall camp of different teams and we can hold our own there.”

Clemson’s defensive front will be going against the only part of Auburn’s offense with mostly proven players, the offensive line.

Auburn defenses have struggled to mount a consistent pass rush since first-round pick Dee Ford left for the NFL after the 2013 national runner-up season. Auburn ranked 95th nationally in sacks per game in 2014 and 104th last season. It hasn’t helped that Lawson missed all of 2014 and half of last season with injuries. But the decision of Adams and Lawson not to enter the

No. 12 Spartans host Furman in opener with O’Connor at QB

By NOAH TRISTER AP Sports Writer EAST LANSING, Mich. — Michigan State has never played Furman in football. In fact, the Spartans have never faced a school from the state of South Carolina before this week.

Coach Mark Dantonio, however, knows plenty about that part of the country.

“Having played at South Carolina, I’m very familiar with Furman University,” he said. “Outstanding university.

Coach (Bruce) Fowler is in his sixth year now.”

A lot more people will know about Furman if the Paladins can pull off an upset Friday night against No. 12 Michigan State. The Spartans are coming off their second Big Ten title in three years, but they do have some adjustments to make after losing star quarterback Connor Cook. Michigan State also has to replace three starters on the offensive line from the team that made it to college football’s four-team

playoff last season. man has been playing football Dantonio faced Furman since 1889 and can boast a lonwhen he was a player at South Carolina, but aside from that, these schools don’t have many links to each other. Furman has never faced a Big Ten team — it played against Penn State in 1958, well before the Nittany Lions joined the league.

Furman’s financial guarantee for this game is $655,000.
