Duke rates wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t increase Man gets 5 years for tri-county customers FROM STAFF REPORTS Duke Energy customers in Sumter, Lee and Clarendon counties will not see their rates go up 10 percent as reported Friday. The Associated Press erroneously reported this week the company was given permission to raise its

rates. Duke Energy Carolinas, which is a subsidiary of Duke Energy, has been given permission to raise its rates. A second subsidiary, Duke Energy Progress, serves customers in the eastern part of the state and was not affected by the increase. Duke Energy Carolinas owns nuclear, coal-fired,

natural gas and hydroelectric generation thus providing power to portions of South Carolina and North Carolina. In South Carolina, Duke Energy Carolinas serves about 540,000 customers located primarily in the Upstate. Duke Energy Progress, a subsidiary of Duke Energy

servicing the same territory as the former Progress Energy Carolinas, provides electricity and related services to nearly 1.5 million customers in North Carolina and South Carolina. That includes about 26,300 residential customers in Sumter County,

LOCAL & STATE BRIEFS | FROM STAFF & WIRE REPORTS

Fines, ban levied against Sumter bow hunter Four South Carolina hunters, including one from Sumter, have been banned from hunting in Colorado for the next four years, according to The Associated Press. James Cole of Sumter, along with Joseph Nevling and George Plummer, both of Timmonsville, and Michael Courtney of Florence, were also ordered to pay several thousands of dollars in fines and court costs after pleading guilty to illegal taking of wildlife and illegal use of toxins in hunting. Cole allegedly defended the practice, the Grand Junction Daily Sentinel of Colorado reported, saying, “Back in South Carolina, everybody hunts with (poison arrows).” According to a Colorado wildlife manager, Michael Blanck, the men specifically used poisoned arrows to hunt and paralyze deer, elk and bears. The toxin allegedly shuts down the animals’ respiratory systems within seconds of any strike, Blanck said. Blanck told the Colorado newspaper that, under a wildlife interstate compact, the men could be banned from hunting in 38 other states, including South Carolina.

Joint narcotics investigation nets 14 arrests; 3 men sought BY ROBERT J. BAKER bbaker@theitem.com A two-month joint operation between Sumter law enforcement authorities ended this week with the arrest of 14 suspects on various narcotics charges. The Sumter County Sheriff’s Office and the Sumter Police Department announced Thursday night that they seized about 28 grams of cocaine, 10 grams of crack cocaine, 4 grams of mari- BROWN juana and about $1,300 in cash during a two-day sweep that was the culmination of the operation. Three suspects SINGLETON are being sought for narcotics charges, including Jonathon Jarreau Brown, 31, of 129 H. St. in Sumter; Akeen Armond Single- WEBB ton, 22, of 820 S. Main St. in Sumter; and Jeffrey Rakeem Webb, 23, of 112 Woodlawn Ave. in Sumter. According to reports, law enforcement focused its efforts in the northern area of the city and county “in areas that information and intelligence indicated illegal drug sales were occurring.” Those arrested and

Liberty St., charged Wednesday with possession with intent to distribute cocaine, possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine and possession of marijuana; and • Cory Huie Montgomery, 28, of 555 Pioneer Drive, charged Wednesday with driving under suspension, third offense, being an uninsured motorist and contempt of court. “The two-month operation wrapped up over the past two days as officers located and arrested the subjects who were identified selling and distributing illegal drugs to an undercover officer,” according to the release. “Officers pur-

chased various amounts of narcotics, often making multiple purchases from the suspects.” Reports indicate that “most of the suspects have prior criminal records (with) narcotics violations.” Bradley and Miller have the most extensive general sessions records in Sumter County, with Bradley being sentenced Nov. 1, 2010, with five years after pleading to distribution of crack cocaine and Miller being sentenced Aug. 28, 2012, to a sentence not to exceed six years in the state Department of Corrections under the Youthful Offender Act. As of Friday, all suspects except Bradley, Cummings and Montgomery had posted various cash or surety bonds to gain release from SumterLee Regional Detention Center. Bradley was granted a $20,525 surety bond on Thursday, while Cummings and Montgomery received surety bonds of $35,000 and $2,840, respectively, on Thursday.

CONSTITUTION WEEK IS COMING UP

HILTON HEAD ISLAND — The parent company of Hilton Head Hospital is denying allegations that the hospital was involved in a kickback scheme involving the Medicaid program. A federal whistle-blower lawsuit accuses the Hilton Head Hospital and others in Georgia of paying kickbacks to clinics that directed expectant mothers in the country illegally to their hospitals and filed fraudulent Medicaid claims on those patients. The Island Packet of Hilton Head reported that a Hilton Head Hospital spokeswoman referred questions to Tenet Healthcare’s corporate office in Dallas.

A surprising suspect revealed on ‘Foyle’s War’ BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH World War II may be over, but “Foyle’s War” continues on “Masterpiece Mystery!” (9 p.m. Sunday, PBS, TV-PG, check local listings). The smart, atmospheric and occasionally cerebral mystery takes detective Christopher Foyle (Michael Kitchen) into the thick of Cold War intrigue. Foyle doesn’t even have time to disembark from his boat from America when he’s enlisted (or, rather, impressed) by British security agency MI5 to find the local leaker of atomic secrets. Foyle (and viewers) is surprised to learn that one suspect linked to an alleged spy ring is his beloved former assistant, Samantha (Honeysuckle Weeks)! The seventh season of “Foyle” will run on “Masterpiece” through Sept. 29. • This weekend, Pivot launches “Raising McCain” (10 p.m. Saturday), starring Meghan McCain, the outspoken daughter of former Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain of Arizona. “Raising” will follow McCain on an extended road trip with folks her age (she’s 28), as they talk about feminism, politics, the death of romance, bullying, social media, a lack of privacy and other issues.

• Gail O’Grady stars in the made-for-TV melodrama “Sins of the Preacher” (8 p.m. Saturday, Lifetime). A small town is shocked when Debbie, the wife of local Rev. Andrew Martin (Christopher Gartin), takes her own life. Emerging from her grief, Debbie’s mother (O’Grady) observes some strange behavior in the reverend, leading her to believe that her daughter did not die by her own hand. Based on a true story. • Lori Loughlin stars in “Garage Sale Mystery” (9 p.m. Saturday, Hallmark), an adaptation of the first in the “Garage Sale” mystery series by author Suzi Weinert. An inveterate scavenger, Jennifer (Loughlin) has made a second career of turning other people’s trash into her treasure. And her eye for detail comes in handy when a series of burglaries strikes her suburban town. Jennifer works with a local detective (Andrew Dunbar, “Arrow”) to determine if some of the burgled booty has been recycled at local rummage sales. • “Cops” (8 p.m. through 11:30 p.m. Saturday, Spike, TV-PG), a staple of the Fox Saturday night schedule since 1989, makes its debut on its new cable home with eight consecutive episodes. • TLC, the home to

“Sister Wives,” now introduces “My Five Wives” (9 p.m. Sunday, TV-PG), a peek at the lives of Brady Williams, the quintet of women he calls “The Missus” and the brood of 24 (and counting) kids who call him Dad in their family compound outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. • The new Disney Channel kids’ comedy “Liv and Maddie” (8 p.m. Sunday, TV-G) leaves no cliche unturned. Identical twin sisters (both played by Dove Cameron) with very different personalities (a Hollywood star and a hometown jock) battle for attention with a scene-stealing younger brother and another teen brother desperate to seem cool. It’s aggressively perky.

Saturday’s Highlights • Tainted water threatens Cullen’s operation on

“Hell on Wheels” (9 p.m., AMC, TV-14). • War looms on “The White Queen” (9 p.m., Starz, TV-MA).

Sunday’s Highlights • Repeats of “Community” (11:30 a.m. to 4:50 p.m., Comedy Central, TV-14) arrive in marathon fashion on their new cable home. • Scheduled on “60 Minutes” (7 p.m., CBS): contradictory marijuana laws; a report on Syria and interviews with President Barack Obama and Syria’s President Bashar alAssad. • Pity the journalists working for “20/20” (8 p.m., ABC), who have to shovel out drivel like “Pageant Confidential: The Road to Miss America.” This is not news. • The Seattle Seahawks host the San Francisco 49ers on

“Sunday Night Football” (8:20 p.m., NBC). • Chris Harrison and Lara Spencer host “The 2014 Miss America Competition” (9 p.m., ABC, TV-PG). • Things change on “Breaking Bad” (9 p.m., AMC, TV-14). • Dr. Narcisse (Jeffrey Wright) asserts himself with Nucky and Chalky on “Boardwalk Empire” (9 p.m., HBO, TVMA). • Bunchy has a nasty encounter with an old acquaintance on “Ray Donovan” (10 p.m., Showtime, TV-MA). • Lincoln’s death shocks Five Points on “Copper” (10 p.m., BBC America, TV-MA). • Damon turns to an adversary on “Low Winter Sun” (10 p.m., AMC, TV-14). • Election night winds down on the season finale of “The Newsroom” (10 p.m., HBO, TV-MA).

POMFRET from Page A1 the defendant pitched his PDP Capital Investments in Palm Beach as a hedge “fund of funds.” A hedge fund of funds begins with a single investment from an individual into a single hedge fund; that money then buys into multiple funds overseen by different managers. Pomfret told the Sumter businessman and others that his fund invested in about 20 such hedge funds throughout the world. According to an indictment filed by the federal authorities in November 2012, Pomfret twice sent account statements to the Sumter man indicating positive returns on his investment, but statements in early 2011 indicated a loss for late 2010. “Further correspondence indicated (the victim’s) investment was being written down and claimed (the offshore funds) were being closed,” the indictment reads. “(The victim) demanded a refund of the balance.”

Nettles said Pomfret never invested the man’s money, but rather used it to pay off two previous investors in an arrangement known as a Ponzi scheme. Named after famous con artist Carlo “Charles” Ponzi — who promised his victims a 50 percent profit on their investments within 45 days and 100 percent in 90 days — such a scheme uses newly invested funds to pay off previous “investors.” Pomfret was charged with wire fraud, his indictment says, because he “did cause to be transmitted in interstate commerce by means of a wire communication from (the victim’s) bank account ... in South Carolina to (an account) in Florida under (Pomfret’s control).” Pomfret initially faced up to 20 years in prison for the offense, according to his plea agreement. Nettles said in a release that other victims are accounted for in the full restitution amount. “(The entire restitution) resulted from other individuals who fell victim to similar promises (made by Pomfret),” he said.

REPAVING from Page A1 plan. Besides fixing cracks and potholes in the affected section of Broad Street, the plan calls for extended concrete islands in the middle of the roadway to improve turn lanes, synchronized stoplight signals to improve traffic flow and possibly consolidated driveways of some businesses along the route. The state Department of Transportation has allocated $2.4 million for the project. Included in the TIP are plans to improve two intersections labeled priorities in the SUATS long-range transportation plan: Broad and Bultman Drive and Broad and Wesmark Boulevard. The long-range plan was approved by the committee in February, but the proposal needed to be approved Friday to be implemented. The intersections are two of the most heavily trafficked sites in the metropolitan area. The Wesmark intersection, which the long-range plan ranked as the priority on its improvement list, was the site of 25 crashes

between 2008 and 2010. The Bultman Drive intersection, which was ranked No. 2, had 34 wrecks in the same time period. The proposal will extend the concrete islands at both intersections to create clearer turning lanes. At the Wesmark intersection, it also recommends consolidating driveways for businesses near the intersection. If businesses used combined entrances and exits, planners hope it would reduce the number of places where vehicles enter the roadway or stop to turn into a business. Some members of the committee were concerned how business owners would react to that section of the proposal. “When new businesses have to do this, they call me all the time,” said state Rep. Murrell Smith, R-Sumter. Planning Director George McGregor said his department has a procedure for working with businesses on issues such as this and said no one would be required to consolidate their driveways. A similar procedure was followed for work on another section of Broad Street. A separate penny sales tax project near the intersection with Gion Street

would close one driveway to Mariachi’s restaurant during work on the entrance to Sumter Mall across the street. “We’ve worked with that property owner throughout the sales tax project,” McGregor said. Smith also said the state transportation department should do more to synchronize the stop lights along Broad to improve traffic and ensure turn lights are working properly. “I have a problem on some of these issues with the state,” he said. “I don’t see any results except more traffic.” After receiving the committee’s approval, the next step for the TIP is to do a preliminary engineering study. Construction is expected to begin in 2015-16. Committee members also received updates on other road projects. The city of Sumter will take on the streetscaping project on South Main Street near the bridge after it was decided the project could move forward faster by using existing city funds instead of waiting for DOT matching funds. Also, sidewalk construction on South Harvin Street is expected to begin in February or March.

RATES from Page A1 4,700 in Clarendon County and 4,300 in Lee County. Both companies — Duke Energy and Progress Energy — were undergoing extensive modernization campaigns prior to the merger in 2012. Specific to Duke Energy Progress (formerly Progress Energy Carolinas), part of these efforts were for retiring older, less-efficient coal plants that do not have state-of-the-art emission controls and

replacing them with cleaner, natural gas-fueled plants. The utility also is making important investments in its nuclear plants to further enhance the multiple layers of safety, security and operational protection. As a result, Duke Energy Progress asked for and received a base rate increase earlier this year in North Carolina. Its customers in South Carolina have not been affected.

GRANT from Page A1 community relations. “Duke has a pretty strong history and legacy of working with technical colleges around the state, as they are critically important in creating a ‘ready workforce’ to support economic development both commercially and industrially here in South Carolina. In meeting with area community and business leaders, the consensus seemed to be that an expansion of the mechatronics program was the most critical need for the area.” Mechatronics, formerly known as manufacturing technology, is a combination of electrical and industrial maintenance. In 2008, the career center received a $25,000 state Career and Technology Education grant for its mechatronics program, but by the 2012-13 academic year the program no longer existed. “This is not something that could have happened without Duke’s team in place, without the input of manufacturing and industrial partners, without the economic development folks and without the involvement of the career center team and the school district,” said Jay Schwedler, Sumter County Development Board president and CEO. The team effort is what Lane said he really likes about this particular investment. “Duke is willing to do the heavy lifting to spring board this initiative, to get it started and in place, with the belief that others will also step forward and support it,” Lane said. With the arrival of Continental Tire the Americas and the expansion of companies already located in Sumter County such as BD and Eaton, the need for a labor pool of skilled workers is rapidly growing, Schwedler said. “It’s really imperative that we have the programs and systems in place to produce that quality worker,” he said. “Industry is going to continue to evolve. It is going to require much, much more and be more technically oriented. I think this is a signal to our student population that there are opportunities in the industrial sector to be obtained that can allow for a good wage that does not necessarily require a four-year degree.” The possible creation of a pipeline from the high-school level to the

college level is something Central Carolina’s president Tim Hardee is hoping the college will gain out of this arrangement. “One of our concerns as we move forward is the average age of our students is 27,” Hardee said. “We want them coming to us when they are 18. Fifteen years ago, a high school diploma and manual skill was all that was needed. The reality now is there are fewer employees making more product with more technology. When you’re talking about a half-milliondollar piece of equipment, you want a skilled person, and a higher skill level means a higher salary. We’re just pleased Duke saw this as worthwhile.” Career center director Shirrie Miller also wants to get students interested in these marketable skills and is excited about bringing the program back. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for the students,” she said. “I’m looking forward to branching out to work with the businesses and companies to make sure everything is set up as it would be in those industries and business. We want their experience to be as authentic as possible so that when they transition over to college and the business side, it’s a smooth transition.” As part of recruitment, a mechatronics component has been added to the career center’s promotional materials. “We’re sharing with the counselors and career specialists at the high schools that feed into our program,” Miller said. “We also share with students during scheduled tours.”

Chairman Brian France expanded the field to 13 drivers for the first time since the format was implemented in 2004. Front Row Motors-

ports appeared to ask for a deal from Penske Racing in the closing laps at Richmond as part of an apparent request from Penske to give Joey Logano pivotal track position he needed to earn a spot in the Chase. Logano passed Front Row driver David Gilliland, who then seemed to slow down by at least 1 mph, according to an Associated Press review of radio communications and data.

Move on and try to improve as the season goes,’’ Spurrier said. “This team should improve with all the youngsters we have playing, especially on defense. They should improve.

KEITH GEDAMKE / SPECIAL TO THE ITEM

Lakewood’s Jamal Cowell (81) is tackled by Sumter’s Jayln Lewis (8) during the Gamecocks’ 45-0 victory on Friday at Memorial Stadium.

SUMTER HIGH from Page B1 added a 37-yard pass to Xzavion Burson to open the third quarter and finished with 155 yards passing and three scores. “James did a great job with his arm,” Kennedy said. “Then Hunter came in a did a great job with his legs. It was good to see both of them having success like that.” The second half belonged to the Sumter running game. Jenkins rushed for scores of 32 and 3 yards in the fourth quarter and Thames found a couple of big holes for two scores as well as the Gamecocks put up 26 points in the final frame to blow the game open. Jenkins had 15 rushes for 74 yards while Thames ran just four times for 75 yards. “We knew they were going to play a lot of guys both ways, so part of our plan was to wear them down, and I think we did that at the end,” Kennedy said. For the Gators, most of the second half was a result of simply not tackling or finishing plays, head coach Perry Parks said.

But it was Lakewood’s missed opportunities in the first half Parks lamented the most. “In a big game like this, we have to win every snap in order to be successful,” Parks said. “We weren’t able to do that. I thought we threw the ball really well at times, but a drop here or a penalty there and it just killed our momentum.” The Gators had two turnovers in the first half — both interceptions. One came on the opening drive on the third play from scrimmage. The other came as Lakewood was driving near midfield. LHS had two other drives stall in Sumter territory, including one inside the Gamecock 15. That was as close as the Gators got the rest of the way, however, as the Sumter D clamped down in the second half, bolstered by the offense’s quick pace. “They started going to the quick game and it was boom, boom, boom,” Parks said. “That really hurt us. But we’ll work on it and correct what we need to and get ready for Lee Central.” Quarterback Roderick Charles wound up 17 of 29 for 186 yards. He completed passes to seven different receivers.

BARONS from Page B1 two quarters. Barons quarterback William Kinney led the first-half attack, going a perfect 8-for8 passing for 141 yards with touchdown passes capping each of Wilson Hall’s first four possessions, including two to senior wide receiver Devin Singleton. Not to be outdone, Wilson Hall’s ground game gained nearly 220 yards in the first two quarters behind several running backs, most notably Parker McDuffie and Jay Goodson. “We’ve had a lot more diversity this year, or balance, whatever you want to call it, and that’s been by design,”

said Wilson Hall head coach Bruce Lane. “We’ve got a lot of playmakers, and every guy might have to have a different role every week.” The only Wilson Hall first-half possession not ending with points occurred late in the first quarter, as a fumble rolling the Generals’ end zone prevented what appeared to be another Barons score. Injuries have already plagued Thomas Sumter this year, a team which Generals head coach Thomas Kessinger said is already young and lacking depth at several positions. “Our linemen are going

CRESTWOOD from Page B1 I told him to dress out just to give them (Wilson) the impression that he was going to be out there,” Crolley said. “A few plays in the game I saw him running with the ball down the field. Jason ran hard all game and he is just a great player and a great individual.” Wilson led 21-14 at halftime. With over six minutes remaining in the third quarter, Crestwood’s Elijah Oaks broke through on fourth down and blocked a Tigers’ punt. The ball rolled out of bounds giving the Knights a safety and trimming the Tigers’ lead to 21-16. Crestwood later took the lead for good when Christian Bruce scored a 6-yard touchdown run on fourth-andgoal with a little more than two minutes left in the third. The Knights were denied the two-point conversion but led 22-21. In the fourth quarter, Crestwood used a rare big pass play to stretch the lead to eight. Tyler Brown hit Jamie Dixon on a 56-yard touchdown pass on third-and-22 to give Crestwood a 29-21 cushion. Wilson struck back with a four-play drive capped by quarterback T.J. Frederick’s 34-yard touchdown strike to

both ways, and when had to rest them we couldn’t come close to competing,” Kessinger said. An injury midway through the second quarter to sophomore running back Jordan Adams made matters even worse for TSA. But while Adams did not return to the game, Kessinger said the injury doesn’t initially appear to be a serious as first believed. “We thought it was a broken collarbone but (it looks like) it’s just a bruise, and that’s big,” Kessinger said, adding he hopes Adams will be able to return to action next week. Wilson Hall finished the game 492 yards total offense while not having to punt a

However, the Tigers failed to convert on the two-point conversion in their attempt to tie the contest. From there on, Wilson’s comeback bid was denied as Crestwood’s defense tightened and stopped the Tigers from scoring again. The Knights recorded their third turnover in the final quarter after Michael Hollman made a diving interception on a Frederick pass. The takeaway led to a Ty’Son Williams 19-yard touchdown scamper, which pushed Crestwood advantage to 36-27. The Knights forced two Tigers’ turnovers in the first half, leading to 14 Crestwood points. “Our defense played exceptional because it took some time for our offense to get going,” Crolley said. “We sputtered some in the first half, but we made some adjustments and played better offensively in the second half. It was an ugly win, but it is a win and we will take it.”

single time. Thomas Sumter closed with 72 yards offense and nine punts. Thomas Sumter was able to force two turnovers compared to the Barons’ one takeaway. They were also penalized far less than Wilson Hall, which was called for 11 penalties for 105 yards. “We had a few more penalties tonight, which is obviously a little bit of a concern. But it was an emotional night for our kids,” Lane said. “We just wanted to play well against a great program here in town like Thomas Sumter.” Wilson Hall has now won the last four contests between the Sumter County SCISA foes, and moves the

class 3A Barons to 3-0 on the season, while the class 2A Generals fall to 0-3 overall. The Barons will likely face a stiffer test next week as they travel to Columbia to play last-year’s SCISA 3A state runner-up Hammond, while Thomas Sumter will look to earn their first victory of the season as they travel to Calhoun Academy. Kessinger, whose team has played one of the tougher early season schedules of any class 2A team in the state, looks forward to return to his team’s return to playing schools their size. “From here on out it’s (class) 2A teams who we can compete with,” Kessinger said.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 2013

CAROLINA from Page B1 American Jadeveon Clowney. While Clowney had his first sack of the season, Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray was able to scramble away at key moments and keep the Bulldogs on the move. It was a humbling experience for the South Carolina’s defense, which had rightfully earned a reputation as one of the SEC’s best over the past few seasons. Vanderbilt coach James Franklin expects a strong effort from Clowney and the Gamecocks defense. The Commodores have struggled to put up significant yards against South Carolina the past two years. They were held to 77 yards total _ and just 4 yards on the ground _ in a 21-3 loss at Williams-Brice Stadium in 2011. Vanderbilt gained 62 yards rushing at home in falling to

the Gamecocks last year. “The biggest thing is to be aware of him,’’ Franklin said of Clowney. “He is going to have an impact in the game, but what you can’t afford him to do is have a huge impact on the game.’’ Here are five things to watch when Vanderbilt plays No. 13 South Carolina tonight: SOUTH CAROLINA DEFENSE

The Gamecocks were as out of kilter on defense against Georgia as they’ve been in the past three seasons. Clowney got inside of Georgia’s offensive line several times, but there were few teammates in places to make plays when Bulldogs quarterback Aaron Murray scrambled away. Clowney said he couldn’t do things alone and coach Steve Spurrier said he’d have suggestions for Gamecocks defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward. Everyone will be watching to see the impact of those suggestions.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL SCHEDULE

BIG-PLAY OFFENSE

COMMODORES QB

So far, it’s been South Carolina’s offense making the big plays and quick strikes. Quarterback Connor Shaw threw two TD passes to Nick Jones in the second quarter to wipe out Georgia’s early 14-point lead. Mike Davis had his second 75-yard run on the season — the first went for a TD in the opening week against North Carolina — and had a career high 149 yards rushing against the Bulldogs.

Austyn Carta-Samuels has looked strong in his first two starts at Vanderbilt. He was the Mountain West Conference freshman of the year in 2009 at Wyoming. He transferred to Vanderbilt after the 2010 season and has made an immediate impact as a starter. Carta-Samuels became just the second quarterback in Vanderbilt history to throw for 300 yards in a season opener. He followed that up with a 261-yard performance in last week’s 38-3 win over Austin Peay.

VANDERBILT’S ROAD SUCCESS

The Commodores closed last season with three straight SEC road victories at Missouri, Kentucky and Mississippi. Extending that streak will be the toughest challenge yet since Vanderbilt has not beaten a ranked opponent since 2008 or won at Williams-Brice Stadium. But Commodores coach James Franklin has worked hard to change the program’s culture the past two years and thinks bigger things are ahead.

SPURRIER RARELY LOSES TO “VANDY’’

South Carolina’s head ball coach has a stellar, 18-2 record against the team he always refers to fondly as “Vandy.’’ The two losses came in back-to-back seasons, 2007 and 2008, and both were major shockers. The loss six years ago came with South Carolina 6-1 and ranked No. 6 nationally. Spurrier was 14-0 over Vanderbilt before that defeat.

Summer blockbuster: No. 1 ’Bama vs. No. 6 Texas A&M HOUSTON (AP) — The last blockbuster of the summer is set in Texas. No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 6 Texas A&M. Johnny Football trying to derail the Crimson Tide dynasty. Who is the hero and who is the villain depends upon your perspective. And, of course, it’s a sequel. The Tide (1-0) and Aggies (2-0) meet Saturday in the most anticipated and talked-about game of the season. Just how big is this game, Tide coach Nick Saban? “Obviously this is an exciting game for our team, the players in our program,” Saban said. OK, so Saban isn’t much for hype, but there’s no doubt this is huge. Looking online for a last-minute ticket to Kyle Field? Be prepared to shell out $700, give or take a hundred. A hotel room in town? Better have a plan B. Most of the space was booked not long after the Aggies upset Alabama 29-24 last November in Tuscaloosa. Texas A&M was expecting a crowd of around 50,000 at the stadium for midnight yell practice Friday night, the Aggies’ unique version of a pep rally, which will be televised by ESPN. Last year’s victory propelled A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel to the Heisman Trophy. For the Tide, the loss was a detour on the way to a second straight national championship. Saban’s team is trying to become the first to win three straight titles. The Aggies have championship aspirations, too. In a couple of tuneup games leading into Saturday’s Southeastern Conference opener for both teams, Manziel has looked better than ever (six TD passes and 520 yards), showing no signs that an offseason in the spotlight has had any adverse effects on his game. Alabama’s only game was a 35-10 victory against Virginia Tech that — by Tide standards — was almost a letdown. Five things to know about the latest SEC Game of the Century:

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jaxon Bailey paints the outline of the midfield logo at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas on Thursday in preparation for Saturday’s top-10 matchup between No. 6 Texas A&M and top-ranked Alabama. HOLD THE LINE

Alabama’s rebuilt offensive line was one of the few areas of concern for the Tide coming into the season. The Virginia Tech game did nothing to soothe the worry warts. The Tide didn’t crack 100 yards rushing against Hokies. REINFORCEMENTS

Texas A&M’s defense has been leaky against Rice and Sam Houston State. To plug the holes, the Aggies get back four key players — linebacker Steven Jenkins, defensive end Gavin Stansbury and cornerbacks Deshazor Everett and De’Vante Harris — after they missed much or all the first two games because of various suspensions. Jenkins is one of the few seniors on defense. THE OTHER QB

AJ McCarron is no Johnny Football, but Alabama fans aren’t complaining. The senior has two national championship rings and is one of the best quar-

terbacks in the country. One of his few mistakes last season was an interception near A&M’s goal line late in the fourth quarter. The best-laid plans for Alabama probably don’t involve getting into a high-scoring game with A&M’s super charged, up-tempo offense. But if it goes that route, McCarron and the Tide’s myriad playmakers should be up to the task. JOHNNY CAM

Yes, CBS will have a camera on Manziel all day. Coach Kevin Sumlin was not pleased. And he doesn’t want Johnny Football to play with any less passion. SO, HOW DO YOU STOP MANZIEL?

Saban and defensive coordinator Kirby Smart are about as good it gets when it comes to mixing defensive fronts and coverages, but Manziel is a game-plan wrecker. And A&M is loaded with talented tailbacks and receivers, so it’s not like he’s doing it on his own.

Patriots beat Jets 13-10 in ugly offensive game FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tom Brady knows it will take a while to get in sync with his rookie receivers. Meanwhile, he keeps winning. The 14-year veteran threw a 39-yard touchdown pass to one of those newcomers, hitting a wide-open Aaron Dobson on the game’s first series before both offenses played as sloppily as the second-half weather, and the New England Patriots got by the New York Jets 13-10 on Thursday night. Thirteen of Brady’s 19 completions went to veteran Julian Edelman, who knew the offense better than the three rookie wide receivers. “It’s unrealistic for

them to feel like they can do it like 10-year veterans. That’s not what they are,” Brady

said, “but they’re trying hard and they work real hard and they have a lot of skill.”

That applies to another rookie, Jets quarterback Geno Smith. But he completed just 15 of 35 passes for 214 yards with three fourthquarter interceptions and was sacked four times. “Geno had his (good) moments,” Jets coach Rex Ryan said. “I don’t know how many balls we dropped today, but it was a bunch.” The Patriots (2-0) punted 11 times and managed just nine first downs after leading the NFL in points and yards last season. Only two of their 16 possessions gained more than 22 yards, and 81 of their 232 yards — more than a third — came on their opening series.

Rivera still has faith in Panthers CB Thomas CHARLOTTE (AP) — Carolina coach Ron Rivera isn’t having second thoughts about starting cornerback Josh Thomas. Rivera said he still has faith in Thomas and will continue to start the third-year cornerback this Sunday when the Panthers travel to face rookie quarterback EJ Manuel and the Buffalo Bills in Orchard Park, N.Y. Thomas surrendered a decisive 43-yard touchdown pass to Seattle wide receiver Jermaine Kearse in the fourth quarter of Carolina’s 12-7 loss to the Seahawks in the season opener. “It was one play,” Rivera said. “Hopefully it doesn’t become two.” Still, Rivera said he “absolutely” plans to stick with Thomas. “There’s no reason not to,” Rivera said. “That’s one play and corners are going to have those plays. The big disappointment is he missed the jam (at the line of scrimmage), he let the guy roll to the outside and get to the sideline. He knows where his leverage help is. He’s got to get in better position and force the issue. But he’s a good football player. There’s no reason in my opinion to panic or to get him off the field.”

Padres beat Braves 4-3 with 2 runs in 8th ATLANTA — Chase Headley hit a tying homer and Logan Forsythe drove in the goahead run in San Diego’s two-run eighth and the Padres beat Atlanta 4-3 on Friday night to spoil Braves rookie David Hale’s debut. Hale pitched five scoreless innings and struck out nine, the most by a Braves pitcher in his first major league game. Justin Upton and Brian McCann hit home runs off Ian Kennedy in the third inning to give the Braves a 3-0 lead. The Padres scored two runs in the seventh and tied the game on Headley’s leadoff homer off Jordan Walden (4-3) in the eighth. Walden walked Tommy Medica, who moved to second on a wild pitch and scored on Forsythe’s pinch-hit single to center field off Scott Downs. Nick Vincent (5-3) had three strikeouts in the seventh. Luke Gregerson pitched a perfect eighth before Huston Street got the final three outs for his 30th save. INDIANS WHITE SOX

CHICAGO — Danny Salazar and Ryan Raburn helped the Cleveland Indians keep pace in the American League wild-card playoff race. The Cleveland bullpen also played a role, too.

MLB ROUNDUP

Davis became the 27th major leaguer to join the 50-homer club, and the first since Jose Bautista in 2010. Davis led off the eighth with a blast to center off AllStar reliever Steve Delabar, connecting on a 2-2 pitch. The drive matched Brady Anderson’s 1996 Orioles record and made Davis just the third player in major league history with 50 homers and 40 doubles in the same season. The others were Babe Ruth (1921) and Albert Belle (1995). TIGERS ROYALS

San Diego Padres’ Chase Headley (7) steals second base as the ball gets away from Atlanta Braves second baseman Elliot Johnson in the fourth inning of a baseball game in Atlanta on Friday.

Salazar struck out nine in 3 2/3 innings, Raburn hit an RBI double in the fifth, and the Indians earned a 3-1 win Friday over the Chicago White Sox. Cleveland defeated Chicago for the 10th consecutive time this season and leads the season series 13-2. The Indians have outscored Chicago 91-49 with four games left between the teams. Salazar is the first Indians starting pitcher since 1916 to strike out at least nine batters in less than four innings.

After allowing Dayan Viciedo’s single with two outs in the fourth on his 78th pitch, he was replaced by Nick Hagadone with runners on first and third. His pitch count was 85 entering the game. “Today I felt good,” Salazar said. “Too many pitches.” METS MARLINS

NEW YORK — Lucas Duda hit a three-run homer and the New York Mets overcame two solo shots by Giancarlo Stanton,

beating the Miami Marlins 4-3 on Friday night behind Jonathon Niese. Andrew Brown also connected for the Mets, outhomered 13-0 by Washington at Citi Field in a four-game sweep that ended Thursday. Niese (7-7) struck out seven and walked none in 6 1-3 innings, improving to 4-1 in seven starts since returning from a shoulder injury last month. New York won for only the third time in 12 September games

and upped its mark to 6-10 this season against the Marlins, who have the worst record in the NL at 5492. ORIOLES BLUE JAYS

TORONTO — Chris Davis hit his major league-leading 50th home run, a tiebreaking solo shot in the eighth inning, and the Baltimore Orioles erased a 3-0 deficit to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-3 on Friday night, snapping a three-game losing streak.

DETROIT — Prince Fielder homered and drove in three runs, and Justin Verlander pitched effectively into the seventh inning to lift the Detroit Tigers to a 6-3 victory over the Kansas City Royals on Friday night. Detroit remained six games ahead of secondplace Cleveland in the AL Central and dealt the third-place Royals a setback in the postseason race. Kansas City is one of several teams hoping at least to catch Tampa Bay for a wild card. Verlander (13-11) allowed three runs and nine hits in 6 2-3 innings. Three relievers finished. Joaquin Benoit worked out of a basesloaded jam in the eighth and got the final four outs for his 19th save in 19 chances. From wire reports

Wile sees expanded use for Darlington Penske Racing team BY PETE IACOBELLI The Associated Press

sweeps pole at Chicago

DARLINGTON — New Darlington Raceway President Chip Wile wants to reconnect to the community by expanding the track’s use beyond its yearly Sprint Cup weekend. Wile, 33, was named the track’s president last month and has spent his first few weeks meeting officials and getting the feel for his new home. He said Friday that he’d love to add local fanfriendly events like music festivals or big-screen movie nights to get people back into the facility. Wile said he spoke to people at a recent track blood drive who made their first trip — despite living about 3 miles away — to the track considered “Too Tough To Tame” since its first NASCAR race in 1950. “We’ve got to get those people as fans of Darlington,” Wile said. That means more events like the blood drive at the track or a series of road races, including a marathon that will end across Darlington’s start-finish line. Wile said Sprint Cup drivers and leaders at track owner International Speedway Corp. already love com-

ing to the 1.366-mile facility. The next step is finding uses for the track for the other 51 weekends a year when NASCAR’s biggest show isn’t in town. The president said he’s most concerned with enhancing fan experiences. He never forgot a trip to the Super Bowl held at the Dallas Cowboys’ mammoth AT&T Stadium in 2011. “Everyone from the people taking tickets to officials to the people at the concession stand said, ‘Welcome the stadium. We hope you have a great time,’” Wile said. “That sticks with you.” Wile is still in the fact-finding stage since arriving at Darlington less than three weeks ago. He was in Richmond last weekend, shadowing track President Dennis Bickmeier to learn what he could for when he oversees his first race as president next May. “It seems like a long time, but it’ll be here fast,” Wile said. Darlington was one of the

many things that went on Saturday night.” Gordon, the four-time champion, now joins Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jimmie Johnson, the five-time champion, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Kasey Kahne in the Chase. “It’s been a roller coaster ride of emotions this week. Unprecedented set of circumstances,” Gordon said. “I’m extremely happy for this. We’re proud to be in it. An

sports’ crown jewels, hosting the iconic Southern 500 on Labor Day weekend for more than a half-century. Things changed for the country track when NASCAR relocated one of Darlington’s two yearly race weekends to California in the early 2000s, and moved its lone event to Mother’s Day weekend for the first time in 2005. ISC is locked in to having just one race, but still has put considerable money in the facility the past decade. Officials have added lights for night racing, repaved the track for improved competition and added a large infield access tunnel to make it easier for race teams to get in and out. “Darlington has always done racing right,” Wile said. “That’s something that won’t change.” Wile is friends with driver Kevin Harvick, who told him after getting the presidency that Sprint Cup drivers consider the track one of the best and most fun they come too each year.

incredible set of opportunities now lie on our shoulders to show we believe in the Chase.” Gordon goes into the Chase as the 13th seed, 15 points behind leader Matt Kenseth when the 10-race series begins Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway. Owner Rick Hendrick agreed was pleased with the ruling. “I applaud NASCAR for taking the time for a full review,” he said in a statement. “We’re ex-

JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — Penske Racing swept the front row in qualifying for the first race of the Chase, with Joey Logano winning the pole hours after NASCAR placed his team on probation for LOGANO allegedly cutting a deal with another organization to help him make the championship field. Logano turned a lap at 189.414 mph around Chicagoland Speedway on Friday to bump teammate and defending NASCAR champion Brad Keselowski. Keselowski did not qualify for the Chase but Logano did make it in last Saturday night at Richmond. Juan Pablo Montoya qualified third and was followed by Kasey Kahne and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Jeff Gordon will start sixth on Sunday in the first race of the Chase and will be eligible for his fifth championship after NASCAR made him eligible earlier in the day.

Jeff and the No. 24 team earned this spot.” Trading favors on and off the track is common in NASCAR, but the series had to investigate the Penske and Front Row bargaining allegation following the embarrassment of Michael Waltrip Racing’s attempt to manipulate the outcome of the race to benefit Martin Truex Jr.

Jim Furyk watches his tee shot on the eighth hole during the second round of the BMW Championship on Friday at Conway Farms Golf Club in Lake Forest, Ill., Furyk posted a single round 59, tying the PGA Tour record.

Furyk makes history as 6th PGA Tour player to shoot 59 LAKE FOREST, Ill. — With a shot at golf’s magic number, Jim Furyk had no trouble finishing the job. Furyk birdied two of his last three holes Friday in the BMW Championship to become the sixth player in PGA Tour history to shoot a 59. Needing a birdie on the par-4 ninth hole at Conway Farms, he stuffed a gap wedge into just over 3 feet and calmly knocked it in. “A very cool card,” Furyk said as he gazed at the scores, which included an eagle when he holed out with a 9-iron. It was a day he won’t forget, in the same town — the Chicago suburbs, anyway — where he won his lone major at the U.S. Open in 2003. Standing in the

ninth fairway at Conway Farms, 103 yards from a front pin, Furyk didn’t want to let his chance get away from him. “I said, ‘How many opportunities are you going to have in life to do this again?’” he said. “Got to take advantage of it. Tried to knock it in there tight and make it as easy on yourself as you can.” The gallery lined both sides of the fairway about 150 yards down from the green and gave him a huge ovation when he walked onto the green. One fan screamed out, “Jimmy, I’ll give it to you!” Furyk smiled and waved at him. He made the putt and repeatedly pumped his fist, turning for the gallery in the grandstands to see, and then

he hugged caddie Mike “Fluff” Cowan and tapped him on the head. It looked like a Sunday afternoon, and had the occasion of a winning putt. There’s work left for the trophy. Furyk was tied for the lead with Brandt Snedeker, who was nine shots clear of Furyk at the start of the second round and shot 68. MIYAZATO LEADS EVIAN

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France — Mika Miyazato of Japan shot a 6-under 65 Friday to take the lead after the rain-delayed first round of the Evian Championship, the year’s fifth and final major. The tournament was shortened to 54 holes after Thursday’s play was washed out. From wire reports
