Friend of Roof under investigation Charleston shooting suspect stayed with friend in Lexington

Domestic murder S.C. leads nation in women killed by men BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com “Fifty-seven women killed in South Carolina.” Imagine the shock and horror of waking up one morning and reading that headline in the newspaper or seeing it scroll across the bottom of their TV during the morning news. But, the 57 women didn’t die in a

BY BRUCE SMITH AND MEG KINNARD The Associated Press COLUMBIA — A friend of the suspect in the Charleston church shooting is being investigated for lying to police and not reporting everything he may have known about the crime, a federal law enforcement official has told The Associated Press. Separately, a judge said he will reconsider his ban on publication of some of the documents related to the case. Joey Meek, 21, of Lexington was notified by a so-called target letter that he is under investigation for lying to police and for knowing about a crime before or after it was committed but failing to report it, the official told the AP. The official was not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation and requested anonymity. The disclosure was first reported by The State newspaper. Meek told the AP that Roof occasionally stayed with him at a mobile home in Red Bank, about 20 miles from Columbia, before the June 17 shootings at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Meek said that he and Roof were school friends but went their separate ways. Then, just weeks before the shooting, Roof started coming around again. ROOF Meek also described how Roof, while drunk on vodka, complained that “blacks were taking over the world” and that “someone needed to do something about it for the white race” before he passed out in the yard. Meek said he took away Roof’s gun the night of his rant but gave it back when he sobered up. Meek also told the AP that he called authorities after recognizing Roof from surveillance footage from the church. He also said Roof said he used birthday money from his parents to buy a .45-caliber Glock semi-automatic handgun. Meek is on probation, having pleaded guilty earlier this year to possessing a stolen vehicle, according to Lexington County court records. Lindsey Fry, Meek’s girlfriend, told the AP on Wednesday that Meek has a good job repairing air conditioners and fears going to jail. He has been trying to get an attorney since receiving the letter. “He’s got a good job now,” Fry said during an interview at the mobile home she shares

Sixth-graders on a rafting trip

Rucker gives concert at journalism dedication COLUMBIA — University of South Carolina celebrated the opening of the new building housing the School of Journalism and Mass Communications with a short concert by Darius Rucker and his former Hootie and the Blowfish bandmate Mark Bryan. The dedication for the new building took place Wednesday at its new location on Sumter Street near the heart of campus. After remarks by university president Harris Pastides and journalism dean Charles Bierbauer, the concert was held across the street at the university’s Horseshoe.

Ethics board: It’s legal for Gov. Haley to get season tickets COLUMBIA (AP) — Add getting Gamecocks season football tickets in a luxury suite to the list of permissible perks for South Carolina’s governor. Gov. Nikki Haley and previous governors, going back decades, have routinely received the tickets as a benefit of occupying the Governor’s Mansion. But Haley’s office sought an opinion from the State Ethics Commission about the gift earlier this month following questions from a reporter, said her attorney, Butch Bowers. The board on Wednesday unanimously approved allowing the university to continue the longstanding practice, calling it a gift to the office rather than Haley herself.

And what a gift it is. The governor’s office receives 16 tickets to each home game. Haley personally attended three of the seven home games last year, said Haley spokeswoman Chaney Adams. Haley was out of the country and did not attend last Saturday’s first home game of the season. USC spokesman Wes Hickman says the university can’t put a price tag on the tickets because the governor’s office has a private suite on a level otherwise reserved for news media, the visiting athletic director and others who don’t pay. According to the Gamecock Club website, season tickets for non-suite

seats directly beneath the press box cost $1,665 each. USC also provides the governor’s office four season tickets to men’s basketball games, Hickman said. The catch is the tickets’ value far exceeds the limits set in the state ethics law for how much agencies that lobby state government can individually give elected officials. Those limits are $60 daily and $480 dollars total yearly. Ethics Commission attorney Michael Burchstead called it a “close question.” Ordinarily, it’s easier to discern when gifts to the governor’s office that exceed the limit are nevertheless legal, he said, using the example of a painting that remains on the wall for

future governors. “These tickets have no long-term value by the office,” Burchstead said. “Once that Saturday comes and goes, the tickets aren’t good to anybody except whoever enjoyed the game.” But he concluded it’s OK as long as USC continues to provide the tickets with no restrictions on their use, and Haley puts priority on using them for state purposes, such as hosting dignitaries or courting company executives. “There’s no better way to showcase the great things going on in our state,” Adams said. Burchstead recognized that Haley and her staff also personally use the tickets.

Commission won’t dismiss complaint against McMaster COLUMBIA — The State

BY SEANNA ADCOX The Associated Press Ethics Commission refused Wednesday to dismiss a complaint against Republican Lt. Gov. Henry McMaster that accuses him of taking about $72,000 in illegal campaign donations after his loss in the 2010 governor’s race. McMaster’s attorney, Butch Bowers, agreed the former twoterm attorney general violated the law but said he did so unintentionally to pay the campaign’s outstanding bills. “There is no dispute about the facts,” he told the agency’s governing board. But “there are no allegations of misuse of funds here.” Bowers asked the board to issue an advisory opinion, essentially instructing McMaster and all other candidates to follow the law in the future. The board unanimously declined, saying there’s nothing ambiguous about the law to clarify. A hearing is set for next month, but Bowers said McMaster will likely settle before then. That will likely involve McMaster reopening his account and raising money from other supporters to pay back donors who gave too much. The allegations involve McMaster’s unsuccessful run for

governor in 2010. Under state law, a candidate for statewide office can accept a maximum of $3,500 from one donor per election cycle. Bowers agreed that McMaster’s campaign accepted 51 over-the-limit contributions to pay off his campaign’s debt after losing a four-way GOP primary. He did not advance to a runoff. For months, Bowers argued that McMaster’s debt retirement effort represented a separate, post-election cycle. But he acknowledged Wednesday there’s no such thing. He said McMaster, who touted his work on ethics reform during last year’s race, mistakenly relied on a 1992 opinion from the Ethics Commission, which involved similar campaign debt from his unsuccessful run for lieutenant governor in 1990. Commissioner Frank Grimball said that doesn’t make sense, since contribution limits didn’t exist in 1990. The Legislature didn’t pass the state ethics law creating the commission until 1992. Its opinion that year made clear that’s why the otherwise above-limit donations were acceptable to settle debt in that scenario, he said. “How in the world could there have been a misunderstanding based on that?” Grim-

ferent, I think, would be troubling precedent,” Burchstead said. Calling the situation a “gross misreading” of the law, he said, is giving the campaign credit. McMaster, the U.S. attorney for South Carolina from 1981 to 1985, has run for various offices since 1986 and was chairman of the state Republican Party for a decade.

Ethics Commission attorney Michael Burchstead said Bowers is seeking an exception for McMaster, a campaign veteran, that’s not given to candidates who have never run for office and understandably don’t know what state law requires of them. “Still, we hold them to the law because the law is the law. To treat this situation any dif-

ball asked. Bowers acknowledged he didn’t think the law allowed it and would have advised the campaign differently. “I wouldn’t have reached that conclusion if I was looking at it, but they did,” he said, before repeating his dismissal request. None of the donors are asking for their money back, he said.

The homemade clock that Ahmed Mohamed brought to school on Wednesday in Irving, Texas, is seen. Police detained the 14-year-old Muslim boy after a teacher at MacArthur High School decided that the homemade clock he brought to class looked like a bomb, according to school and police officials. The family of Ahmed Mohamed said the boy was suspended for three days from the school in the Dallas suburb.

Muslim teenager detained over homemade clock IRVING, Texas (AP) — A 14-year-old Muslim boy became a sensation on social media Wednesday after word spread that he had been placed in handcuffs and suspended for coming to school with a homemade clock that teachers thought resembled a bomb. Police declined to seek any charges against Ahmed Mohamed, but his arrest and suspension ignited a wave of criticism of police and school officials and raised suspicions that they had overreacted because of the boy’s religion. Ahmed was pulled from class Monday and taken to a detention center after showing the digital clock to teachers at his suburban Dallas high school. Irving Police Chief Larry Boyd said the clock looked “suspicious in nature,” but there was no evidence the boy meant to cause alarm at school. Boyd considers the case closed. “I built the clock to impress my teacher, but when I showed it to her, she thought it was a threat to her. So it was really sad she took the wrong impression of it,” Ahmed said at a news conference in front of his family’s home. Ahmed said he plans to transfer out of MacArthur High School. Asked what he would say to other kids who like tinkering, he replied: “Go for it! Don’t let people change who you are, even if you get a consequence for it. I suggest you still show it to people, at least show them your talent.”

In a matter of hours, the clock made Ahmed a star on social media, with the hashtag #IStandWithAhmed tweeted more than 900,000 times by late Wednesday afternoon. Linda Moreno, an attorney representing Ahmed, said the family is considering taking legal action against police after officers interrogated, handcuffed, searched, booked and fingerprinted the teen. She would not give details on questions he was asked by police. Groups including the American Civil Liberties Union condemned what they called the school’s heavy-handed tactics. “Instead of encouraging his curiosity, intellect and ability, the Irving (school district) saw fit to throw handcuffs on a frightened 14-year-old Muslim boy wearing a NASA T-shirt and then remove him from school,” Terri Burke, executive director of the ACLU in Texas, said in a statement. Among those messaging their support on social media were President Barack Obama, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. In a tweet, Obama called Ahmed’s clock “cool” and said more kids should be inspired like him to enjoy science, because “it’s what makes America great.” Asked if bias was involved, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said it was too early “to draw that direct assessment from here.” But, he added, Ahmed’s teachers had “failed him.”

HUNGARY

Police fend off migrants at border

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS)

A group of relatives of missing people walk in a field as they search in vain for a site of a possible clandestine grave after they received an anonymous tip in Iguala, Mexico. Since the government began excavating suspected graves found by this group scouring the surrounding mountains looking for their loved ones late last year, more than 100 bodies have been exhumed, though most still await identification.

Thousands of Mexican families mourn the ‘other disappeared’ COCULA, Mexico (AP) — The convoy of gunmen fanned out across the southern Mexico municipality of Cocula before dawn. Some carried names and blasted their way into homes. Others simply swept up whoever crossed their paths. Seventeen people vanished from Cocula on that single day, July 1, 2013 — more than a year before the disappearance of 43 college students in the nearby city of Iguala would draw the world’s eyes to the mountains of northern Guerrero and to the issue of Mexico’s disappeared. The disappearance of the students from the Rural Normal School of Ayotzinapa on Sept. 26, 2014, gave hundreds of other families who had loved ones vanish the courage to come forward, many for the first time, to report the crimes. These, they said, were the “other disappeared.” Among them was Rosa Segura Giral, who waited more than a year to report the abduction of her 19-year-old daughter, Berenice Navarijo Segura. Berenice disappeared on that July day in Cocula, just hours before her high school graduation. “What if I report it and my daughter is nearby and they know I reported it, they hurt her or something?” reasoned Berenice’s mother, Rosa Segura Giral. It was not until other fami-

lies began meeting at a church in Iguala last fall to search the surrounding mountains for their missing that Segura Giral finally filed a report with authorities. More than 25,500 people disappeared in Mexico between 2007 and July 31, 2015, according to the government’s count. In recent months, The Associated Press interviewed the family members of 158 of those “other disappeared” who came to report their cases at the church, provide DNA samples and go into the surrounding mountains with machetes and steel rods to look for hidden graves. Many were more than reluctant to be interviewed. Still fearful but also furious, they speak hesitantly of children, parents and siblings dragged away before their eyes, of those who left home for work or stepped out to buy milk and seemed to be swallowed by the Earth. Men or boys accounted for all but 15 of the 158 disappeared and ranged in age from 13 to 60 years old, with the majority younger than 30. The families have found 60 graves and, with the help of federal authorities, recovered the remains of 104 people. Six of those have been identified and returned to their families. There are many possible reasons for the abductions: Recruitment to fill the cartel’s ranks with young men. Attacks on competitors. Profit

from ransom money or punishment for failure to make extortion payments. Regardless, the abductions sow fear. Fear and the silence it induces allow the cartels to operate unhindered. Their infiltration of the police was so deep that after the disappearance of the 43 students, federal authorities arrested 66 members of the Iguala and Cocula police forces. The government investigation said the local police had illegally detained the students and then turned them over to the Guerreros Unidos gang to be killed. Iguala is an important way station for the opium paste that is harvested high in the surrounding mountains as it begins its journey north to the United States. This geographic distinction makes it a valuable prize for the several competing drug cartels that operate in the region. On the morning of Berenice’s graduation, her family heard the barrage of gunfire from 20 to 30 men shooting their way into the home of 23-year-old Luis Alberto Albarran Miranda and his 14-year-old brother, Jose Daniel. Cocula’s police never came out of the station 100 yards from the house, even as gunmen blasted the door open and shouted that they were federal police looking for weapons. They took the unarmed brothers away barefoot. Less than a half mile to the

east of the Albarran Miranda home, over a small hill and across a short bridge, armed men also shot their way into the home of their cousin, 15-year-old Victor Albarran Varela. While some relatives hid in the basement, an older brother scrambled over the wall and across the stream. He was shot in the ankle, but escaped. Victor had the bad luck to be in the bathroom when his mother herded the others into hiding, and he came face to face with gunmen looking for another brother. When they couldn’t find him, they took Victor instead, “as insurance,” his mother, Maura Varela Damacio, said. Berenice Navarijo Segura disappeared soon after. She waited 20 minutes after the shooting subsided before hopping onto the back of her boyfriend’s motorcycle to go have her hair and makeup done downtown. When her mother saw the convoy of pickup trucks rumble past her house on its way out of town hours later, she never imagined that Berenice and her boyfriend could be inside one of them. “I never thought this could happen to me. Never, never, never in my life. I never thought that people wanted to harm you so much. Because it’s hurt that they cause you,” Segura Giral said softly. “A lot of hurt.”

HORGOS, Serbia (AP) — Europe’s migrant crisis took another ugly turn Wednesday when Hungarian riot police used tear gas, pepper spray and water cannons to beat back hundreds of people massed at the border with Serbia after some broke through a gate. Children cried as they fled from the acrid smoke, and several people fainted in the chaos. With the route through Hungary apparently closed, some migrants set out on a longer, more arduous route into Western Europe through Croatia. Frustrated migrants — many of them war refugees from Syria and Iraq — who were blocked on the Serbian side of the border threw plastic water bottles and rocks at helmeted riot police and chanted demands that the now-sealed border be re-opened. “We fled wars and violence and did not expect such brutality and inhumane treatment in Europe,” said Amir Hassan, an Iraqi who was soaking wet from the water cannon and trying to wash tear gas from his eyes. “Shame on you, Hungarians,” he shouted pointing in the direction of the shielded Hungarian policemen who were firing volleys of tear gas canisters directly into the crowd. One of those who fainted was a woman who was holding a baby. Children and women cried while young men with scarves over their faces hurled stones as they charged toward the police through thick tear gas smoke. Several Serbian ambulances arrived to treat the injured. The crowd also lit up old tires, causing dark smoke to fill the air. Hungarian media reported that a pregnant woman began giving birth to a baby amid the clashes. The tensions escalated after hundreds of people broke through a border gate and were pushed back by the Hungarian police. Before that, some women had pushed to the front of the crowd holding small babies and children above their heads as they faced police in an obvious appeal for mercy, but no one made it through. Government spokesman Zoltan Kovacs described the group as an “armed mob of illegal migrants,” telling reporters at the border that “these people are using kids as a human shield.” In the past few months, Hungary has become a main entry point into the European Union for migrants with more than 200,000 entering the country so far this year. Almost all entered from the southern border with Serbia and passed through Hungary quickly on their way to Germany or other wealthy Western European nations. But Hungary acted this week to stop the huge flow of people, sealing off its border with Serbia with a razor-wire fence and making it a crime to enter the country illegally. Hungary’s Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto decried what he called “brutal attacks” by the migrants against Hungarian police and asked Serbia authorities to crack down on the migrants, who were on the Serbian side of the border. Serbian Labor and Social Care Minister Aleksandar Vulin expressed “the harshest possible protest” over Hungary’s use of tear gas and water cannons against the people at the border.

Covert videos draw scrutiny to middlemen

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A member of a search and rescue team wades in to Virgin River during a search Wednesday in Zion National Park, near Springdale, Utah. Seven hikers who entered a narrow desert canyon became trapped when a flash flood filled the chasm with water, killing at least five of them, officials said Wednesday.

Flash floods trap hikers in Utah canyon ZION NATIONAL PARK, Utah (AP) — Seven hikers who entered a narrow desert canyon for a day of canyoneering became trapped when a flash flood filled the chasm with water, killing at least five of them in Zion National Park in southern Utah, officials said Wednesday. Known as a slot canyon, the passage is as narrow as a window in some spots and several hundred feet deep. Flooding can turn such canyons into deadly channels of fast-moving water and debris in just minutes. A sudden deluge of rain fueled the flood, which “went from a trickle to a wall” of water, park ranger Therese Picard said. Concerns about more flooding have prevented searchand-rescue teams from entering Keyhole Canyon to look for two hikers who are still missing. Rescue teams with dogs were looking several miles downstream in piles of

debris and in shallow ponds of water that form in rocks. Others were wading through waist-high water in the nearby Virgin River. Park rangers commonly warn hikers about flood risks during monsoon season and did the same with this group before the hikers entered the canyon. But there was no way to reach them in time to alert them to the violent floodwaters coming their way. Officials say the group got a permit to hike the canyon at 7:40 a.m. Monday, before the canyons were closed because of flood warnings issued at 2:22 p.m. Six of the hikers were from California and one from Nevada. All were in their 40s and 50s. The deadly events happened at the same time flash floods tore through a small community on the Utah-Arizona border just south of the park, leaving at least 12 people dead. The Utah National Guard

and a team of searchers who once combed through the World Trade Center towers after Sept. 11 are still looking for a missing boy who was among the 16 people in two cars that were swept up Monday by swift water, mud and debris in a canyon. Three children survived, including a boy who told Utah Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox that he escaped by cutting through an air bag, climbing out a window and jumping off the roof of the vehicle. Cox told The Associated Press that the boy was about 9 or 10 years old and lost his mother and several siblings, who were also in the cars. Bodies recovered Tuesday were found as far as several miles away in the sister towns of Hildale, Utah and Colorado City, Arizona — the home base of Warren Jeffs’ polygamous sect. Officials have not released the identities of the dead.

CHICAGO (AP) — Covert videos released by an antiabortion group have opened a window on a largely unknown corner of science: the middlemen who supply researchers with human fetal cells from elective abortions. For decades, these typically small companies or nonprofits have been quietly processing human tissue and filling orders for fetal cells from scientists studying eye disease, HIV, autism and other conditions. Until recently, their biggest challenge was finding an adequate supply because of a nationwide drop in the number of abortions. Now three players in the tissue-procurement industry — StemExpress, Novogenix Laboratories and Advanced Bioscience Resources, all based in California — face unprecedented scrutiny after the secretly recorded videos raised questions about whether Planned Parenthood or any other entity was illegally profiting from the handling of fetal tissue. Four congressional committees have begun holding investigative hearings into the matter and anti-abortion activists have targeted the tissue providers on the Internet. StemExpress has had to call police and hire extra security after employees received personal threats. StemExpress also faces a separate inquiry by state officials in Arizona. “No organization should be able to profit from the distribution of human tissue harvested from aborted fetuses, whether it’s an

abortion clinic or a middleman,” Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, said in an emailed statement to The Associated Press. He said his committee’s inquiry does not single out any one organization. One of its goals, Grassley said, is “to see if the laws on fetal tissue should be changed in light of the actual practices of the organizations.” While those inquiries remain ongoing, the House set votes for later this week on bills blocking federal funding for Planned Parenthood for a year and creating new criminal penalties for medical providers who don’t try to save the life of an infant born alive during abortions. None of the tissue brokers named in the videos has been charged with any wrongdoing, and all have been cooperating with the congressional panels. Fetal cells are considered ideal for some research because they divide rapidly and adapt to new environments easily. Federal law prohibits anyone from profiting from the sale of fetal tissue, allowing fees to be charged only to cover costs such as transportation, processing and storage. Nonprofit and university labs once acted as the primary middlemen between abortion clinics and scientists. Since 2010, a small number of for-profit companies have stepped into a field that garnered little attention until the videos were recently released. Congressional committees have requested information from StemExpress, Novogenix and Advance Bioscience Resources.

ATTENTION!

FTC announces 10-digit dialing starting Sept. 19 The ever-changing world of telecommunications is also ever-expanding and because of that, it is necessary to make more phone numbers available. That is why more area codes are being added across South Carolina. It is also why 10-digit dialing will become mandatory on Sept. 19 for local calls made on all FTC phones — landlines and wireless — and all devices that utilize FTC phone numbers. (Ten-digit dialing is area code plus the phone number.) This new dialing process has been part of the world of wireless for as long as most people can remember, but using it for landline phones is going to be an adjustment, which is why FTC has already made 10-digit dialing optional. People can go ahead and get into the habit as well as change their automatic dialing devices now. If customers attempt local calls from FTC landline phones (residential or business) on or after Sept. 19 without using area codes, they will get a recording advising them they need to include the area code when dialing. A few other important facts consumers and businesses need to know are: •

Existing phone numbers, including current area code, will not change.

•

Callers will need to dial area code plus phone number for all local calls.

•

Callers will continue to dial 1 plus area code plus phone number for all long distance calls unless their current plan requires something different.

•

What is a local call now will remain a local call.

•

The price of a call, coverage area or other rates and services will not change due to the overlay.

•

Callers can still dial just three digits to reach 911.

FTC customers: Please set the date and remember that on Sept. 19, all local calls made from an FTC landline phone must be made using 10-digit dialing. Every local call must include the area code.

South Carolina, said federal authorities often use target letters to warn people they might be called before a grand jury and should get a lawyer. “Maybe they’ll be more honest with you if you’re fair with them up front,” Josey said. “Most of the time, they get charged or work something out.” The disclosure came as a judge overseeing the state case against Roof said that he would modify his order blocking the release to the media of emergency calls, witness statements and other documents stemming from the investigation into the slayings. During a hearing that Roof did not attend, Circuit Judge J.C. Nicholson said some information ultimately could be released by authorities but expressed concern that the victims’ families would be traumatized again with the release of graphic crime scene photographs and audio tapes of the 911 calls.

with Meek. “He’s paying probation. We’re supposed to move soon. We’re trying to save money for a car. But now we have to do this.” Fry, 19, said she and one of Meek’s brothers testified before a grand jury, answering questions about what Meek did after finding out about the shootings and about Roof’s activities. Fry said she thought she appeared before the grand jury after Roof’s late July indictment on federal hate crime charges but couldn’t remember the exact date of her testimony. No other family or friends who spent extensive time with Roof at the mobile home have received target letters, Fry said. “He’s really worried,” Fry said, of Meek. “He knows he didn’t do anything wrong. But when you’re innocent, it can be really hard to prove you are innocent.” Rene Josey, a former U.S. attorney now in private practice in

more resources and changes in attitudes, local advocates for victims of domestic violence say. Sumter Police Chief Russell Roark is among those who say recent legislation strengthening domestic violence laws is a step in the right direction, but more than legislation is needed. “We need more than punitive actions,” he said. “There’s got to be more support and resources, particularly for mothers.” He said often women who suffer from abuse don’t have the access they need to get out of abusive situations. “You see folks that are underemployed and uneducated; it’s difficult to say ‘Just leave,’” he said. Amanda Wiley, a victim’s advocate with the police department, said they try to empower women with choices. “We encourage her and let her know we are here for her,” she said. Wiley said they can help the women with paperwork, finding a shelter and attending bond hearings. The 2015 South Carolina Legislature passed the Domestic Violence Reform Act, which created a graduated penalty structure with stiffer penalties and restricted offenders’ ability to possess firearms, among other provisions. Gov. Nikki Haley signed

THE SUMTER ITEM the bill, and it is now state law. Wiley agreed the new domestic violence law is a good thing, but noted it doesn’t increase the number of places where women can go or provide outreach to change the culture. She said the mentality that it is OK to abuse women needs to change. “It’s going to take a generation to change,” she said. Wiley said she would like to see more funding for shelters, legal assistance and the basic needs of women who are trying to escape abuse. Yolanda Debra Wilson, executive director, YWCA Upper Lowlands, said she is glad the state is taking a more serious approach to the problem, and praised the governor’s task force on WILSON domestic violence and the new domestic violence legislation. “We are all on the same page,” she said. “It’s a good start; we need to start somewhere.” Wilson said one of the biggest key is education to increase awareness and change attitudes. She said it is also important to make people realize physical violence in only part of the problem. She said victims are often on the receiving end of multiple types of abuse. Wilson said the YWCA is where women typically turn first

for help. The nonprofit organization includes a domestic violence support group, a women’s shelter, a non-resident survivor’s support group, substance abuse counseling and parenting classes as well as children’s counseling and advocacy. Many women will not go to a shelter that can’t also take their children, Wilson said, and many shelters will not accept boys above a certain age. “We are probably the only 24hour, 365-day shelter (in the state) serving boys 12-18,” she said. The YWCA can also accompany women to court or the hospital as required, she said, and also is involved with housing the elderly and offering support for victims of elder abuse. “We work with numerous other agencies and also promote internships and volunteering,” Wilson said. Wilson said they are planning to expand their Y-Teens program to include a group for men as well as career-focused youth. Despite South Carolina’s long road ahead to address the problem, Wiley said she sees encouraging signs. “There are a lot of good men’s groups now,” she said. “One benefit in South Carolina is you have a lot of church groups that are talking about it. I think awareness is definitely up, and that gives me hope.”

Don’t be daunted when culture Whom would Jesus seems to run counter to your faith ‘hang out’ with?

ith great interest I’ve watched the events surrounding County Clerk Kim Davis unfold, from her refusal to issue that first same-sex marriage certificate to her most recent release from a five-day stint in jail. I’ve read the statements issued by her legal team and her supporters as well as the chorus of dissidents that follow her name around the Internet. Davis has become a folk hero of sorts, garnering support from around the world for her beliefs. Since the Supreme Court handed down its decision on same-sex marriage earlier this year, many have been waiting on this situation: when someone goes to jail on the basis of their religious convictions. While there have been officials who publicly object to same-sex marriage, Davis is the first to pay the price for it. Of course, the situation isn’t as simple as the broad category of religious persecution it’s put in. Davis is an elected official and thus bound to uphold the law of the land. Whether her religious convictions can supersede her responsibilities to the law is really the question at the

heart of the public debate. For right now, the Rowan County Clerk’s office has struck a compromise: Davis’ will not Faith Matters name appear on marJAMIE H. riage licenses, WILSON which seems to have pacified both parties to some extent for the moment. What results from his new precedent has yet to be fully unpacked. It reintroduces a perennial question people of faith in certain vocational positions have to face: will I be able to hold to my religious beliefs and still hold a position where certain practices or policies may contradict those beliefs? Can I acquiesce to a certain practice without endorsing that activity? Or, should I stand up for my religious beliefs and suffer the inevitable consequence? Do I have a moral and spiritual obligation to defy those laws I feel unjust? I can answer those questions for myself, but not for others, because the best and worst part of a daily faith is being con-

fronted with confusing situations and then working out your reaction through the filter of faith. It’s an arduous process, which is why so many of us try to feel our way through life, leaving behind us a wake of questionable choices. When we are handed a difficult situation of any type, our best plan of action begins in the presence of the Almighty. I find it immensely comforting that many early pillars of the faith — Moses, Abraham, David and Jesus — sought counsel with God before they acted. It can be daunting, facing a culture that seems to run increasingly counter to our faith, but we should never let that anxiety control us. “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:6-7, NIV). Let the world react while you pray. Email Jamie H.

Francis has revived, ruffled U.S. Catholic church NEW YORK (AP) — Pope Francis’ favorability ratings in surveys of U.S. Catholics and all Americans have fluctuated in his two-year-old papacy — but always within a range that would be the envy of any leader. His impending trip to the U.S. is already causing a frenzy. Free tickets for public events with the pope are being snapped up within minutes. Politicians, whether they agree or disagree with his views, are heading to Washington to see him. Yet, there is some trepidation about what the “slum

pope,” who has made the poor and vulnerable a focus of his papacy, will say to one of the richest countries in the world. In polls by the Pew Research Center, Francis’ popularity peaked in February 2015 at 90 percent among Catholics and 70 percent in the general public. After he released his encyclical in June on ecology and climate change, calling for aggressive government action and personal moral transformation to save the planet and humanity, his approval ratings dipped. A Gallup poll found political con-

Francis has said “Who am I to judge?” about a purportedly gay priest, but has upheld marriage as the union of a man and a woman. He has called for more women in church leadership roles but does not support ordaining them. Still, a Public Religion Research Institute survey last month found his popularity returning to higher levels overall as his first U.S. visit neared.

he Gospels are clear about the company Jesus kept. We know he was criticized for hanging out with tax collectors and sinners. Today, he would probably hang out with people who try to recruit for ISIS and with gay people. We know he enjoyed the company of working men, fishermen like Peter, Andrew, James and John. These men didn’t fish for pleasure; they fished for a living. Today he would hang out with truck drivers, people on the assembly line, electricians, plumbers and carpenters. We know a group of rich women were part of his circle: Joanna and Susanna wrote the checks that kept his ministry going. Today Jesus would be at the country club, seated at a table by the window, talking to women about God’s plan for their Clay lives. Smith We know Mary Magdalene, having been delivered from seven demons, was in the inner circle, too. We don’t know exactly what impact the demons had on her, but I bet everyone who knew her thought she was seriously disturbed. Today, Jesus would be completely at home with people who are disturbed, maybe even diagnosed. He would bring them peace as well. We know Jesus talked a lot with religious leaders and scholars. They would ask questions, and he would blow up their systems of theology by talking about a relationship with God. Today, Jesus would be at home in the pastor’s study helping the pastor re-write his sermon or in a seminary, taking over a class. We know Jesus spent time with sick people: the lepers, the deformed, the blind, the lame and the epileptics. He healed them. Today, Jesus would be up at the hospitals, offering the comfort of his power, healing the sick and emptying the beds. We know Jesus spent time with his disciples, the people who decided to follow him wherever he went, who decided to learn from him and who wanted to be like him. Today, Jesus loves to hang out with people who want to follow him, learn from him and be like him. Here’s the truth to recognize: Jesus never excluded people. He was comfortable with all kinds of people who had all kinds of issues. Which means, of course, that Jesus is comfortable with you. No matter what you do, what perspective you bring, no matter what system of belief you have, Jesus would be comfortable with you. We are left with this question: If Jesus is comfortable hanging out with all kinds of people, shouldn’t his church be filled with all kinds of people too? If it’s not, what are we doing wrong?

NBC offers a night of puppet shows, magic acts Dozens of women come forward with serious allegations against one of America’s most adored and respected television institutions on “Cosby: The Women Speak” (9 p.m., A&E, TV-PG). This special was not available for review and, as of this writing, was barely mentioned on the network’s website. In this business, sometimes an absence of hype is the most powerful statement of all. • Days before the network season begins in earnest, NBC offers a night of decidedly cable-worthy entertainment. Not long ago, a special like “Jeff Dunham: Unhinged in Hollywood” (8 p.m.) would have aired on Comedy Central. Dunham was a consistent ratings hit for that network, in spite of being an odd fit for the home of “South Park.” An unabashedly old-fashioned prop comic, Dunham works with puppets to create characters like the cranky, elderly Walter and Achmed the Dead Terrorist. By keeping his jokes safe enough for family viewing, Dunham has risked being seen as less than edgy while earning the reputation and the rewards of being one of the top-grossing comics currently working. This special is rated PG. The notion of family-friendly humor involving felt characters was so out of fashion that it has come back with a vengeance. ABC’s “Muppets” reboot is one of the more anticipated series of the upcoming season. • What better way to follow a puppet show than with a magic act? NBC’s two-hour special “Mat Franco’s Got Magic” (9 p.m., TV-PG) follows the New Englander and illusionist to several performances in Rhode Island and an opening night in Las Vegas. Look for special appearances by New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski, singer Jason Mraz, magicians Penn and Teller, Heidi Klum of “Project Runway” and Neil Patrick Harris, star of NBC’s own “Best Time Ever.” • Speaking of NBC shows and cable TV, Sundance returns to a “Law & Order” marathon (6 p.m. through midnight), airing episodes that won or were nominated for Emmys. The episode “Point of

View” (8 p.m., TV-14) features Elaine Stritch in a role that won her an Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series. • YouTube personalities Grace Helbig and Tyler Oakley host the 5th Annual Streamy Awards (10 p.m., VH1), honoring the best in online video.

COMMENTARY

Fairy tales in paradise, sort of

nce upon a time in a twinkling city on a hill, little boys and girls were taught that anyone could grow up to become president. The children all believed it and today many, many of them are trying to fulfill the promise. While it has been proved true that anyone really can become president, it has also been proved even more true that most Kathleen shouldn’t. InParker cluding, sad to say, more than a few on the debate stage at the Reagan Library Wednesday night. One wonders why these folks don’t wake up each day and exclaim: Wow! I don’t have to run the country! How awesome is that?! To each his own motivation, but sane people routinely ask themselves: Why would anyone want this job? We’ve witnessed what the office does to a person — the graying temples, deepening lines and sagging shoulders. Do the pomp, chauffeurs, chefs, private jets and postpresidency speaking fees really compensate for the assault on one’s privacy, the loss of freedom and the terrible burden of the worldly woes? Probably. But the question — Why do you want to be president? — is worth asking each candidate. Why, indeed. We can predict most of the answers, none of which will be remotely true. — “We need to make America great again and I’m your man,” seems to be a favorite. — “It’s time to take our country back, and when I was governor, I blahblahblah.” Or, “It’s time for a nonpolitician.” But for many, running for president is The Next Thing — for them. After you’ve saved lives, built hotel empires, been secretary of state or a governor, what’s next? It is a fine thing to reach the summit of one’s aspirations. It is a necessary thing, I suppose, that some are driven to leadership and, we hope, altruistic endeavors. But governance isn’t easy. And effective leadership doesn’t necessarily convey to the White House from the boardroom or surgical ward — or the gilded world of luxury hotels where women are “cherished” and the “hair is real.” This isn’t to suggest that professional politicians are better qualified than others (necessarily), though it’s likely some are. Nor is it axiom-

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP Recent editorials from South Carolina newspapers

The Island Packet of Hilton Head Sept. 12

CLARITY NEEDED ON CANDIDATE RESIDENCY People who run for office should live in the district they seek to represent. South Carolina law says candidates must be a resident of the district at the time they file to run for office. It sounds simple, and it should be. But it is not. For the second time in three years, questions have been raised about whether candidates for the state Senate District 45 seat live within the dis-

atic that distance from the political class makes someone a better choice just because he/ she hasn’t a clue how Washington works. Knowing nothing — or having no relationships with those you’re hoping to lead toward productive alliances — is hardly a recommendation for the job. This should go without saying and would be unnecessary were we not at this silly moment when the nation seems primed to favor the rabblerousingest purveyor of emotional potions and fantastical fixes. Billionaires have too much money, says Democratic candidate and socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders. Agreed. I should be a billionaire, too. But do others’ billions prevent me from accruing my own? Only to the extent that their wisdom stops short of employing my talents. How many poor people is Oprah responsible for creating? Donald Trump doesn’t like American cars being manufactured in other countries? What would President Trump do? Slap a $35 tariff on each car and part, he exclaims to applause. But there’s this little hitch called the U.S. Constitution, which gives Congress the power to levy taxes, and the small matter of the North American Free Trade Agreement, which forbids what Trump proposes. Facts don’t matter, apparently, when voters are determined to evict those who have made the federal government dysfunctional. Frustration noted. But wasn’t the last elected president an outlier who was largely unqualified and had no talent for “politics?” But most Americans liked the way he sounded, so, why not? The why-not vote vexes the natural-born frowner. Often, the best leader is the reluctant one, who, like George Washington, wishes he weren’t the people’s choice. He knows from experience the burdens of leadership and humbly recognizes his own limitations before the task. It is duty that draws him out. The humble man times out before he can manage a quotable response. It is up to us, therefore, to listen carefully to the candidates and ask ourselves, why? The answer to this questio may help you sort things out. Kathleen Parker’s email address is kathleenparker@washpost. com. © 2015, Washington Post Writers Group

trict. It appears that neither candidate in Tuesday’s Democratic runoff lives within the district. In 2012, the residency of the late Sen. Clementa Pinckney was challenged by the loser when he was re-elected to the District 45 seat. The challenge by Republican Leilani Bessinger failed in a unanimous vote by the S.C. Elections Commission. Now, District 45 candidates Margie Bright Matthews of Walterboro and state Rep. Kenneth Hodges of Green Pond are both said to spend most of their time in homes close to district lines but not within the district. They say it is not (relevant) because their lives are steeped in the district. And it’s not like the Hilton Head Island Town Council member years ago who was living in Aiken. But shouldn’t it truly matter whether one actually lives in

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR EVERYONE NEEDS TO WORK TOGETHER TO FIND MONEY FOR BRIDGE I would like to encourage Mayor McElveen, city council and county council to work together to find the money to build a walking bridge over U.S. 378 for those people living on the north side of U.S. 378. Saying “I hate to pass the buck, but that is a state system” is not good enough. Those are Sumter’s kids being killed. When that housing area was being planned, the city planners should have foreseen the isolation and required the developers to incorporate a walking bridge over 378. Since that was not done, it is up to the city and county to find the money to build it. Saying it costs too much is not enough. And telling the people living there to go around has not and will not work. Our state legislators could not fund nor give guidance to DOT in repairing our state’s highways. I know they will not come up with a plan to save lives. Mayor McElveen, I saw in The Sumter Item you have a nice collection of challenge coins. I have some also from the USAF and the Department of Corrections. It is my understanding those coins are given to individuals who are a cut above the norm. Those who say, “let us see what we can do about this problem.” This must be fixed and fixed soon. Money was found for the dog playground, and the sidewalk to nowhere on Patriot Parkway. I know this will be expensive, but what is expense compared to a life? We have some very large companies here in Sumter; they may be willing to contribute a little toward this bridge of life. Send me their phone numbers, and I will ask them. I would rather donate money to this cause than to give money to bury another one of our children or an adult. The Sumter Item used this quote: “He took the leadership skills he learned during his time in service and used them to create a successful career in law and politics.” Sir, those people who live on that side of U.S. 378 need your leadership skills now. And to Mr. Jim Austin, I hope there are not many heartless people like you in our city. To call a walkway frivolous is to call

the district they represent? Yes, it should. We saw another local challenge fail when Dan Duryea challenged Cynthia Bensch’s residency when she won the Beaufort County Council District 7 seat in 2012. From that, we learned that it does not matter where a candidate’s spouse and children live, and it really doesn’t matter where the candidate lays his head most nights. Why is this so difficult? Why is there so much wiggle room in state law? This is way more complicated than it needs to be.

STEP UP EFFORTS TO STOP SEX TRAFFICKING It’s easy to understand why

those lives lost frivolous. ROBERT JOHNSON Sumter

BRIDGE WILL NOT STOP PEOPLE FROM BREAKING THE LAW I see in The Sumter Item where the “public demands bridge.” Public is defined as “of or concerning the people as a whole.” I for one, do not want a bridge because a small percentage of 1 percent of the people who refuse to obey the law. A bridge will not stop people from crossing U.S. 76/378 unless the bridge is built exactly where they want it built. Then, of course, they would have to walk up it and cross over the highway. Maybe someone will get bored and start throwing items at the cars that pass under them. That road is about six miles long, so where would it go? If someone has to walk more than 50 feet to the bridge then they will continue crossing the road. People don’t obey the laws anymore and then want to blame something else because they get hurt, injured or dead. I suggest that a tall fence, probably 6 feet tall with that razor-type wire be put at the top. Guess what, within a couple of days someone will cut a hole(s) in the fence so that won’t work either. I would rather pay for an extra policeman(s) to sit somewhere and watch that area and give everyone who crosses illegally a ticket for a couple hundred dollars. The best thing to do is just let people continue to die until someone wises up and teachers others that the highway is dangerous and don’t cross the highway. It’s just amazing how some people think we should want to spend tens of millions of dollars because a few people won’t obey the law. Maybe the people who cross the road should pay for the bridge. This reminds me of the problem with thousands of rape kits sitting around somewhere because we don’t have money to test them, while we have plenty of money to defend the rapists. JACQUELINE K. HUGHES Sumter

sex trafficking has stayed mostly in the shadows in South Carolina. It’s distressing just to admit that 12-year-old girls are kidnapped and forced into prostitution. Beyond that, the tendency has been to see the girls as criminals, arresting and prosecuting them instead of going after the monsters who force them into that life — and their sleazy customers. South Carolina needs to do better in countering this menace. But it is a step in the right direction that the subject is being addressed. Attorney General Alan Wilson has made countering this scourge one of his main objectives. The FBI in South Carolina has assigned one of its most knowledgeable agents to study the problem. And a Lexington woman who got caught up in the sex trade at a young age

has filed paperwork with the secretary of state to establish a human trafficking resource center for South Carolina. A 2012 state law established a human trafficking task force to analyze the situation and propose solutions like training professionals to recognize signs of the sex trade, coordinating the collection and sharing of trafficking data among agencies and providing services for the rehabilitation of victims. Unfortunately, it has been slow going. The AG’s office has not taken a single case to trial since the law passed. And the law also has one big loophole. It calls for the consideration of helpful measures, instead of requiring that they be accomplished. That should change. It’s time to do what it takes to identify the problem and put an end to it.

CLEMSON FOOTBALL

5 KEYS TO VICTORY

Highly motivated

Winless Cards still pose threat to Tigers BY DENNIS BRUNSON dennis@theitem.com Now it’s time to get down to business. Clemson’s first two football games against Wofford and Appalachian State, respectively, were expected to be easy games. And to the Tigers’ credit, they were. Clemson dominated on both sides of the football, rolling to easy wins. The Tigers will be favored today when they play their road opener and Atlantic Coast Conference opener against Louisville. The Cardinals are surprisingly 0-2, falling to Houston last week after opening the season with a tough loss against Auburn. For those who think the edge has been taken off of this game because of Louisville’s slow start, you’re sadly mistaken. The Cardinals are playing their ACC opener as well, meaning they haven’t played a game yet that matters on getting them to where they would like to be. A win over Clemson would do that and would go a long way to righting the ship. This will not be an easy task for the Tigers. Following are five things Clemson needs to do to win today.

1. COME OUT READY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Clemson running back Wayne Gallman, right, and the No. 11 Tigers look to take their first step toward an ACC title today when they travel to face Louisville at 7:30 p.m.

Undefeated Clemson looks to keep ACC championship hopes on track while Louisville tries to avoid first 0-3 start since 1984 BY GARY B. GRAVES The Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Louisville has rarely faced a must-win situation like the one looming against No. 11 Clemson: Avoiding an 0-3 start for the first time since 1984. Throw in the matchup with the Tigers in the nationally televised Atlantic Coast Conference opener for

both teams, and the Cardinals are especially motivated. Louisville needs a fast start and avoid having to play catch-up as the Cardinals did in their first two losses, against Auburn in the season opener and last week against Houston. Head coach Bobby Petrino has urged the Cardinals to look ahead instead of back on those frustrating losses.

“I thought they did a real nice job of understanding that we need to put it behind us,’’ Petrino said earlier this week. “We’ve had two good practices, so I’m excited about that.’’ Now they just need to convert that enthusiasm into execution. Offensively, mobile freshman quarterback Lamar Jackson had a promising beginning to his first start. But

he eventually gave way to sophomore Kyle Bolin, who directed two fourth-quarter touchdown drives but couldn’t complete the rally against the Cougars. Petrino hasn’t named a starter against the Tigers, but Louisville could also use better run production after gaining just 70 yards against Houston.

It’s hard to believe the Tigers won’t be ready for this game though. Expectations are high and they’ve had to listen to the chatter about the soft early schedule. With games against No. 8 Notre Dame, No. 14 Georgia Tech and Boston College immediately following,

USC needs more consistency out of Jekyll & Hyde defense

Manning eyes quick offensive turnaround

BY WILLIE T. SMITH III Greenville News COLUMBIA — It has been a football tale of two halves for the University of South Carolina defense in its first two games. Against both North Carolina and Kentucky, the Gamecocks’ defense has resembled last year’s unit, which struggled to stop virtually every opponent in the opening two quarters. In the second half, however, USC has been close to spectacular. The defense has yet to allow a second-half point. After allowing 13 first downs in the first half against the Tar Heels, USC cut that to seven in the second. The Gamecocks were even more impressive in the second half against Kentucky, holding the Wildcats to four first downs — all coming on the team’s final drive of the game — and 92 yards total offense. Kentucky picked up 307 yards total offense and 15 first downs in the first half. “I guess if I knew the answer to that, we probably wouldn’t struggle in the first half,” said

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

South Carolina linebacker Jonathan Walton (28) and the rest of the Gamecocks defense are looking for more consistency as they get set to face Georgia on Saturday in Athens, Ga. USC co-defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward when questioned about his unit’s transformation. There have been no magical adjustments by co-defensive co-

ordinator Jon Hoke and Ward — just an emphasis on executing what they’ve been taught.

BY MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER michaelc@theitem.com Seven turnovers and a missed extra point gave Manning High School’s varsity football team a narrow 14-13 victory over Lake City last Friday, but it wasn’t enough to convince head coach Tony Felder that his team played a good game. “We didn’t finish,” said the Monarchs head coach despite the fact his team improved to 2-1 on the season. “I didn’t think (so) and that’s kind of been our focus this week.” Manning held the Panthers to 125 yards passing and had five interceptions, but the offense was another story. “This past week we weren’t very good on offense,” Felder explained. “Up front we need to get it done. We expect to see some of the same things this

week that Lake City gave to us.” The Monarchs FELDER went up 14-0 at halftime thanks to rushing touchdowns by Twon Collymore and DeJuan Wilson, but was shut out in the second half. Its defense bent, but didn’t break with several reserves in the game due to various injuries. Lake City scored twice within the final five minutes only to miss its second extra point try, giving MHS a 1-point win. “The defense saved us because the offense was getting a great push at the beginning (of the game), but then halfway through they started blitzing almost every single linebacker trying to confuse us, which held us back a

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Denver quarterback Peyton Manning (18) looks to continue his mastery of Kansas City tonight when the two teams square off at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. Manning has beaten the Chiefs 13 times in 14 games.

Broncos QB Manning looks to continue mastery of Kansas City BY DAVE SKRETTA The Associated Press KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Peyton Manning sounded just as stumped in trying to describe his success against Kansas City as the Chiefs have looked when trying to slow down the Denver Broncos quarterback. Fourteen times, Manning has faced the Chiefs. Thirteen times, he has been victorious. “I don’t know if it’s really worth trying to explain,’’ Manning said ahead of Thursday night’s early-season showdown between AFC West contenders. “It’s in the past. Here we are, in a new season, that’s kind of where I guess I’m thinking the most, playing a good team at home.’’ Still, only three quarterbacks since 1950 — Otto Graham against the Cardinals, John Elway versus the Patriots, and Roger Staubach against the Giants — have managed better winning percentages against another team, according to

Bilton E-OWNED LINCOLN & PR

STATS. All three of them are Hall of Famers. Two of those victories by Manning came in the playoffs, when he was calling the signals for the Indianapolis Colts. But it’s not as if things have changed with Denver: Manning is 6-0 against the Chiefs the past three years. “Everybody knows he’s a great player,’’ Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “They all know — the whole league knows. But you prepare for the team, and focus on that, and the battles you have within that. I want the players concentrating on that part of it.’’ Rather than the way Manning has battered the Chiefs over the past 16 years. There was that virtuoso performance in 2004, when he threw three touchdown passes to knock the 13-3 Chiefs out of the playoffs. Or the pair of five-TD games Manning’s had against them. Or the two flawless performances last year, when he combined to throw

five more TD passes without a pick. “They’ve all been different,’’ Reid said of the recent contests. “Some of them have been very close, we just came up short on them. Majority of them have been very close. They’re good battles.’’ Perhaps it was wise Manning didn’t waste time reviewing his record against Kansas City, considering both teams have just four days to prepare — and the Broncos must also travel. “It’s a big challenge, but in this league, everybody gets a chance to do it,’’ Denver coach Gary Kubiak said. “It’s just that we’re doing it early this year.’’ In some ways, that’s a blessing. While the Broncos are coming off a physical win against Baltimore, and Kansas City opened on the road successfully against Houston, both teams are still fresh, better able to deal with the physical toll of a quick turnaround than they might later in the season.

THE SUMTER ITEM

MOTIVATED FROM PAGE B1 The Cardinals’ defense also seeks redemption after yielding 462 yards to the Cougars. Bouncing back certainly won’t be easy in a short week against a Clemson squad that has outscored its first two opponents by a combined 90-20 margin. Petrino hopes that urgency snaps the Cardinals back into focus. “We’ve got a lot of work to do,’’ said Petrino, whose team aims to avenge last year’s 23-17 road loss at Clemson in which a rally fell short after reaching the Tigers’ 1. “We’re playing a real good team in Clemson; their defense doesn’t look like they missed a beat,’’ Petrino said. “They’re physical, their front seven is very, very good, their linebackers come downhill and tackle well, their corners like to play press man, so that’s a challenge there. “But I think we’re looking forward to that.’’

WHO’S THE QB? Jackson took over for an ineffective Reggie Bonnafon against Auburn before being relieved by Bolin against Houston, leaving things uncertain at QB against the Tigers. Whoever starts not only has to establish consistency but hand off better than against Houston, when the Cardinals lost two exchanges.

WATSON’S BACK Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson was a freshman on an unstoppable twoweek run in 2014 when an injury against Louisville sidelined him for a month. Watson broke a bone in his right, throwing hand early against

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Louisville’s Sheldon Rankins (98) and the rest of the Cardinals look to avoid a 0-3 start to the season today when they host No. 11 Clemson at 7:30 p.m. in Louisville, Ky. the Cardinals at Death Valley last year, needing surgery and about four weeks to recover. “As weeks went by, months went by, everything happens for a reason,’’ he said of the recovery and what-ifs. “For me, it was just one of those things that kind of happened, something I

couldn’t control.’’

WRAP ‘EM UP The short turnaround after the loss to Houston didn’t leave the Cardinals much time to correct tackling and assignment breakdowns that doomed them against the Cougars. Their hope is that a

back-to-basics approach can translate into better results against Watson.

last season’s average but lags behind six other ACC schools.

DEFENSIVE STRENGTH

Louisville will face its second ranked opponent in the first three games for the first time since 1991. Overall the Cardinals are 15-43-1 against top-25 teams including 7-10 at home.

A year after Clemson had the nation’s top-ranked defense, it stands 19th at 255 yards allowed per game. That’s a few yards ahead of

USC FROM PAGE B1 “I think the guys get a little more relaxed, because we don’t change a lot at halftime,” Ward said. “We just try to do what we’re doing, but do it better.” “We talked about the number of errors we had,” freshman defensive end Boosie Whitlow said of the halftime talks. “We really didn’t have any big errors. Assignment-wise, we got better. We didn’t give up.” USC got off to a quick start against Kentucky as linebacker Skai Moore picked up his third interception of the season and returned it to the Wildcats 2-yard line. That led to a USC touchdown. After that, however, it was all Wildcats. They scored 24 first-half points. “We knew it was simple things, guys maintaining their gaps and getting our fits right,” said USC defensive line coach Deke Adams. “We did that in the second half. We trusted the system and what we were doing and we had some success.” This week, the Gamecocks face probably the best stable of running backs in college football, led by No. 8-ranked Georgia’s Heisman Trophy candidate, Nick Chubb, who is averaging 154.5 yards rushing per game. While it’s a plus that the Bulldogs do not rely on a hurry-up offense, they present problems neither UNC nor Kentucky could present. “It’s more of a play-action game,” USC free safety Isaiah Johnson said. “They like to get the ball out quick and take shots — really just trying

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Stopping Georgia running back Nick Chubb (27) will be a tall task for a South Carolina defense that has been porous in the first halves of games and dominant in the second.

RANKED CHALLENGE

5 KEYS FROM PAGE B1 a loss here would put Clemson in a quick bind in winning the ACC title it has been forecasted to win. There will be a hint of desperation for Louisville; there are still nine games left after this one, but a 0-3 start would be terrible. Clemson needs to take the air out of the Cardinals’ sails as early as possible.

2. TURN DESHAUN LOOSE Tiger Nation has been no doubt been waiting for this game. Quarterback Deshaun Watson has been outstanding so far, but hasn’t come close to playing a whole game for obvious reasons and rightfully so. And the odds are Clemson has been very vanilla in what it has done with Watson. That should change today. There should be a lot more creativity in what is done with Watson unless the Tigers do begin a beatdown on the Cardinals. If that happens, we won’t see all of the “Deshaun Package” until the Fighting Irish come to Death Valley.

3. DON’T GET PASS-HAPPY THOUGH

to get us off our keys, little things like that. “We just have to be alert all the time, defend our area and we’ll be all right.” The biggest improvement the Gamecocks must make is to carry through on what they’re taught. “Coach Hoke told us to be more disguising in our coverages in the

second half,” Johnson said of halftime discussion in the Kentucky game. “That’s what we did and we shut them out. It was harder for them to realize what we were in. “Coach Hoke gets on us every day, especially in practice about showing disguises because it messed up what they’re looking at.”

Clemson is 11th out of the 14 ACC teams in rushing, but is averaging a respectable 181 yards a game. The Tigers are running the ball an average of over 43 times a game, and they need a relevant running game to help the passing game. Wayne Gallman has established himself as the go-to running back and is averaging 85 yards a game. Clemson needs the running game to continue to be effective in order for it to be primed on offense.

Louisville is only averaging 154 rushing yards a contest and its leading rusher is quarterback Lamar Jackson, who may not even start this week after being relieved by Kyle Bolin in the second half of the Houston loss. If Clemson can limit the running game, that will put the pressure on the Cardinals’ passing game. If Bolin starts, he will be Louisville’s third starting signal caller in three games, so there is instability for sure. While the Cardinals are averaging 246 yards a game passing, they are last in the ACC in passing efficiency.

5. BE BALL HAWKS

MANNING FROM PAGE B1 little bit, but we pulled through,” Manning senior Matthew Cottone said. Felder was quick to point out it was Cottone, who plays right tackle, tight end and also punts, helped seal the victory with two key kicks after bad snaps. Backed up on their own 10-yard line, Cottone got a punt away with his opposite foot then later caught a snap that nearly went

over his head, but managed to kick the ball away just in time. “The snap was horrible; it rolled to me and landed about five yards in front of me and it rolled to me,” Cottone said. “As soon as I got it I looked up and there’s two guys to my right rushing me about four yards from me, so I take off to the left and here comes another guy. “I’m right-handed and right-footed, so normally I guess you just get sacked as a punter, but I hit it with my left foot for 30 yards, which I would say is pretty good for a right-

footed punter.” This week’s challenge comes in the form of the running game. C.E. Murray, a 1A school which is 3-1 on the season, is led by Isiah Odom. Odom has 526 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 87 carries. “C.E. Murray is going to be rushing the football,” Felder said. “They’re a very big and athletic team, so what we’re going have to do is get them stopped. If that doesn’t happen, it’s going to be a long night.” The War Hawks have only 184 passing yards.

Louisville has had six turnovers so far, including four against Houston. Three have come the way of interceptions, the other three by fumble. If Clemson is able to shut down the running game, it needs to find a way to get after the quarterback, whoever he may be. The Tigers have only two sacks so far and just eight hurries; however, the opposition has only attempted 46 passes in the first two games. That should change with Louisville and Clemson needs to be after the quarterback and hopefully turnovers will follow.

AUTO RACING

Newman counting on points to win title BY DAN GELSTON The Associated Press Ryan Newman held a question-and-answer session with hundreds of middle school students in Delaware who peppered the only Sprint Cup driver with a college degree with questions about education and racing. They wanted to know what Jeff Gordon was like, what Newman does in his spare time and his favorite track. The Fifer middle school kids also asked for Newman’s favorite subject in school. Newman, a Purdue engineering grad, said math. Some kids cheered and Newman did, too — with good reason. It’s the simple addition of point after point after point he’s gained over 26 races that has again put Newman in the hunt for a NASCAR championship — even without a victory. “The math is there to support a champion who doesn’t need to win,’’ said Newman, who has 17 career victories. “That doesn’t get embossed on the trophy. That’s what’s different about our sport. In the end, you could be a winner

But a winless season in 2014 didn’t derail Newman’s cham-

elimination rounds all the way to the winner-take-all race at Homestead. He was runner-up in the race and in the final standings to champion Kevin Harvick. Newman made no apologies for working the system as he methodically piled up points in the No. 31 Chevrolet for Richard Childress Racing. Newman has been solid, though hardly spectacular for RCR. He has only four top-five finishes and none since April at Bristol Motor Speedway. He’s coming off a 13th-place finish at Darlington and was 20th at Richmond in his final two races ahead of this weekend’s Chase opener at Chicagoland Speedway. Newman hit some bumps this season: Crew chief Luke Lambert served a six-race suspension and two other team members were penalized for illegally tampering with tires. He’ll have help in the playoffs with teammate Paul Menard. Newman also has some company among drivers with no wins. Menard, Jamie McMurray, Jeff Gordon and Clint Bowyer are winless in the 16-driver field.

WILSON AUCTION The eBay charity auction to raise money for the family of Justin Wilson is under way. Wilson died from a head injury suffered when a piece of debris struck him during an IndyCar race at Pocono Raceway. He was 37. The bidding on helmets and other race memorabilia closes on Oct. 26.

Juan Pablo Montoya’s helmet from Sonoma reached $10,000. IndyCar drivers Sebastien Bourdais, Ryan Briscoe and Tony Kanaan all had race-worn helmets hit $6,000.

BELL RACES Christopher Bell has added four more Truck Series races in the No. 54 Tundra for Kyle Busch Motorsports this season. The 20-year-old Bell made three Truck starts for KBM in 2015, with a win at Eldora Speedway and two top-5 finishes.

Smithsonian exhibit highlighting such pasttimes comes to Manning in November BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com

larendon County residents and visitors will have an opportunity to visit a Smithsonian Institution traveling national exhibit featuring the impact of sports on the nation and the county throughout the generations. “Hometown Teams: How Sports Shape America” is a free event coming on Saturday, Nov. 3, to Weldon Auditorium, 7 Maple St., in Manning. This will be an 800-square foot exhibition featuring lifesize “pylons” displaying poster-size images, sports facts, inspirational stories, trivia and cultural observations explaining the many ways in which sports helps people work, play and experience life as a nation, according to news release announcing the event. The exhibit will also feature various interactive models such as bleachers, lockers and trophy cases. The exhibit is divided into seven sections, through which participants will be able to walk, including: More than a Game; Fields of Glory; Take Me Out to the Ballgame; Playing the Game; Root, Root, Root for the Home Team; and Sports Explosion. The exhibit will be open from 5 to 7 p.m. on Nov. 3 and also include a parade and a tailgate party in the parking lot of Weldon Auditorium. A documentary of sports in Clarendon County will premiere inside Weldon Auditorium at 7 p.m. The movable museum, provided by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service, will coincide with a local exhibit that will go along with the national display. The national exhibit is a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and Humanities Council S.C. The local exhibit will be held at the Clarendon County History Museum and will feature a display of local sports legends, school sports, support teams and other sports related memorabilia, the release said.

Local high school students, left, do an interview with Coach John Franklin Thames, above, the winningest women’s high school basketball coach in South Carolina history and former head coach of Manning High School’s Lady Monarchs. He was being interviewed for a documentary for the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Services “Hometown Teams: How Sports Shape America” exhibit, which is coming to Manning in November. regular operating hours, Thursdays and Fridays, 1 to 4 p.m. and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. “This exhibit will offer an opportunity to celebrate local sports achievements and the impact and history of sports both in our county and nation,” said Nancy Cave, assistant project director. Cave and Sylvia Clark, project director, applied for a $2,500 grant through the Smithsonian Institution and The Humanities Council S.C. to host both exhibits. An additional $8,000 grant paid for the technology component of the project, a documentary on the influence of sports in Clarendon County. Local high school students helped create the documentary by using video equipment and photo and video editing software to conduct and edit oral interviews with local sports “legends.” The students interviewed about 30 Clarendon County Hall of Famers, players, coaches, family members and others involved with prominent sporting events in the county’s history. They also shot footage of

local sporting events. “The students learned a great deal about the technology with which they have worked and have incorporated this into the Clarendon County Hometown Teams website,” said Holly Holladay, one of the coordinators of the video project, along with Carrie Trebil and Mary Margaret McCaskill. Local sports teams are invited to participate in the parade that will start at 4:30 p.m. on Nov. 3 and go from Pocotaligo Plaza on West Rigby Street and Brooks Street to Weldon Auditorium on Maple Street. “We’re inviting all former and current athletes, coaches and anyone associated with sports in Clarendon County to participate,” said Marie Land, the parade’s co-organizer. Land said the athletes don’t necessarily have to be involved with high school sports and can include hunters, fishermen, derby car racers or represent other sports. Uniforms or team shirts are encouraged as well as golf carts, fishing boats, pickup trucks, etc.

Participation is free, but registration is required by Oct. 30. A free tailgate party will be held right after the parade from 5 to 7 p.m. Local sponsors are invited to set up tables or vehicles and provide food. Registration for sponsors is required. For questions regarding the exhibits, parade and tailgate, contact Cave at the Clarendon County Archives at (803) 435-0328.

Why wouldn’t you smile at the thought of cheese?

t’s photo time. Smile and say “cheese.” Why wouldn’t you smile at the thought of cheese? Just about everybody likes some kind of cheese, which is good, because cheese is one of those great dairy products that give you the calcium your body needs. You don’t think about nutrition because it tastes so good. From Italian AsiaNancy go to Canadian ZuriHarrison RETIRED CLEMSON go, cheese comes in EXTENSION AGENT an overwhelming array of styles and tastes from soft and creamy to hard and sharp and from sweet and buttery to pungent. Soft cheeses go by names such as Brie, Camembert, cottage cheese, cream cheese, feta, Mascarpone, Neufchatel and ricotta. Semisoft cheeses have labels such as American, Asiago, Baby Swiss, blue, brick, Gorgonzola, Havarti, Limburger, Monterey Jack, mozzarella and Muenster. Firm cheeses include Edam, Gouda

LOW-FAT MACARONI AND CHEESE ¾ cup evaporated fat-free milk 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese ½ cup part-skim ricotta cheese ½ cup low-fat cheddar cheese ½ teaspoon nutmeg 1 pound cooked elbow macaroni 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese 1 tablespoon dry bread crumbs

and provolone. Hard cheeses are familiar names like cheddar, Colby, Colby Jack, Gruyere, parmesan, Romano and Swiss. Specialty cheeses wear labels like pasteurized process cheese and cold pack. The life of a cheese will depend on the type that it is, so pay attention to the “best of used by” date on the package. That will tell you how long the cheese will retain its best flavor. It may be safe to eat long after that date, but the quality will gradually decline. Soft cheeses will keep from one to three weeks after opening. As a general rule, the harder the cheese, the lon-

Salt and pepper to taste. 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat the milk in a saucepan over low heat. Add the cheeses until they melt, stirring constantly. 2. Stir in the nutmeg, pepper and salt. Remove the cheese sauce from the heat. Add the cooked pasta to the cheese sauce and mix well. 3. Pour the mixture into a 2-quart casserole dish. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and bread crumbs. Bake the casserole for 15 to 20 minutes until bubbly and the top is browned. Serves 6.

ger it will remain fresh. If you store it in an airtight container, hard cheeses can keep for several months. Once cheese is exposed to the air, mold and dehydration become enemies. To protect cheese from mold, always work with it in a clean area. Rewrap cheese in new plastic wrap each time you open it. Double wrap it if you want to be extra cautious. If a block of cheese does develop some mold, cut away about a half-inch on all sides of the visible mold and use the rest of the cheese as soon as possible.

Strong-smelling cheeses like Limburger should be well wrapped and kept in a separate airtight container. If not, everything in your refrigerator will eventually smell like Limburger, not exactly a pleasant thought. Processed cheese slices are best if used within six months when stored in the original package at a constant 32 F. Opened packages rewrapped tightly and stored between 30 F and 40 F are best if used within three to four weeks. Frozen packages opened and rewrapped tightly and stored at 0 F or below, should be used within six to eight weeks. If you want to melt cheese for a fondue or nachos, use a low heat. High temperatures will toughen the cheese and make it stringy. Processed cheese melts more smoothly than natural cheese. Serve cheese at room temperature for the best flavor. Set out just the amount you plan to use an hour or two before serving so it can come to room temperature. The harder the cheese, the longer it takes. So, give your taste buds a treat, and smile when you say “cheese.”

Fire up the grill with barbecue meatball skewers BY FAMILY FEATURES There’s nothing better than firing up the grill and gathering in the backyard with family and friends. While everyone expects to see burgers, dogs and steaks, you can show your guests you’re a true barbecue master by serving up smoky, grilled appetizers fresh off the grill. Try a new fan favorite of the season — Barbecue Meatball Skewers with Mozzarellacourtesy of Chris Lilly, world champion pitmaster. This recipe for deliciously gooey

grilled meatball skewers is a tasty way to kick the party off right. The key is a little trick all pitmasters know: the twozone fire. Simply put, the twozone fire splits the grill in half. Pile hot charcoal on one half for direct, high-heat cooking and searing, while leaving the other side free of charcoal for lower-temperature cooking of dishes, such as appetizers and sides.

BARBECUE MEATBALL SKEWERS WITH MOZZARELLA Makes: 20 meatball skewers Prep time: 20 minutes Cook time: 12 minutes 1 pound ground beef 1/2 cup bread crumbs 1/3 cup basil, chopped 1 egg, scrambled 3 tablespoons onion, diced 1/2 teaspoon salt 4 ounces fresh mozzarella 2 cups KC Masterpiece Kansas City Classic Barbecue Sauce 20 3-inch wooden skewers

Build a charcoal fire for indirect cooking using Kingsford Charcoal by situating the coals on only one side of the grill, leaving the other side void. Preheat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In medium bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, basil, egg, onion and salt. Mix well. Form about 20 meatballs using 2 tablespoons of beef mixture for each meatball. Place meatballs over indirect heat and close grill lid. Cook for 10 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F. While meatballs cook, form a ball of mozzarella (1 teaspoon

each) around each wooden skewer, 1 inch from end. Remove meatballs from grill and stick a mozzarella skewer into top of each meatball. Place back on grill over indirect heat, close grill lid and cook for an additional 2 minutes, or until cheese melts. Pour 2 cups barbecue sauce into bowl. Once cheese melts, remove each skewer from grill and immediately dip meatball into barbecue sauce, up to bottom of melted cheese. Serve warm. Source: Kingsford Products Company

THE SUMTER ITEM

Haven of Rest helps women get back on their feet You can assist by participating in domestic violence awareness walk BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com South Carolina was recently ranked first in the nation in the number of women murdered by men, according to a 2013 study released by the Violence Policy Center. About 96 percent of the victims knew their killers, and 62 percent were murdered by current or former husbands or boyfriends, according to the report. Jordan Crossroads Ministry CenterHaven of Rest is a non-profit organization in Clarendon County that aims to combat domestic violence, serving women and their children who have been physically, verbally, mentally or emotionally abused. Since opening its doors in 2008, the shelter has provided temporary housing to 35 female victims of domestic violence and their 43 children. Located in a non-disclosed area, to protect its residents, the shelter is open to women from Clarendon County, other counties and outside the state. “Our goal is to help victims of domestic violence and their children to have a better life when they leave here,” said Ann Driggers, executive director of the organization. Women are allowed to stay in the shelter for as long as 90 days. During their stay, the center’s board

members work with the women to help them find permanent housing. They also work with career programs to help them find jobs. Women who have a source of income give a percentage of that income to help with food and housing costs. Driggers is an ordained minister and can provide spiritual ministry if the women are receptive to it, she said. The house has four bedrooms, two bathrooms and can accommodate as many as six women. “We are a crisis center,” said Driggers. “We provide a safe place for women to get away from their aggressor.” Driggers said homeless women with an abusive past from years ago do not qualify for temporary housing. The goal, she said, is to help those who are in a current domestic abuse situation, and do not have an alternative place to stay. A clean drug test is required to stay in the house, she said. Driggers said the center’s funding comes from private donations, churches and other organizations. Everyone involved with the organization, including Driggers, is a volunteer. “We network with other agencies in the community and throughout the state who assist us,” she said. The organization will host its fourth annual “Hit the Pavement” Domestic Violence Awareness Walk on Oct. 3, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., starting at the

Adult Education helps students opens doors to career fields Lisa Justice, director of the Clarendon County Adult Ed program, talks with Chasidy Reardon as she registers for classes on Tuesday at the program’s site in Turbeville at East Clarendon Middle-High School.

BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com Clarendon County Adult Education offers classes for students to receive their high school diplomas or General Educational Development certifications and provides several other programs aimed at helping students enter the workforce or pursue higher education. More than 100 students, aged 18 to 60, are enrolled in the program at locations in Manning, Summerton and Turbeville, and program instructors are looking for more students. GED and high school diplomas are seen as equals among employers and colleges, according to Lisa Justice, director of the adult ed program based at Central Carolina Technical College’s F.E. Du-

Bose Campus in Manning. “Our goal is to help the students get a high school diploma or become prepared to take the GED,” said Justice. GED is a group of four subject tests — literacy, mathematics, science and social studies — that measures a core of knowledge and skills essential for career and college readiness, said Justice. The

test certifies that the test taker has high school-level academic skills. The other option includes completing enough credit hours to receive a regular high school diploma. Justice said the choice of which diploma to pursue is left up to the student. The program also provides preparation for job entrance

exams such as WorkKeys and ParaProfessional, and Citizenship/English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, literacy and COMPASS, Central Carolina Technical College’s entrance exam. Students who complete the adult education programs can go on to higher education or straight into the workforce. Small class sizes allow students to get one-on-one tutoring from teachers, and work at their own pace. “I enjoy working with the students and seeing them succeed,” said Kim Driggers, adult ed instructor. “Everyone has a different route to success.” Jacquelyn Wingard, also an adult ed instructor, said the students in the program are motivated to get their degrees. “They come in wanting to learn and are here because

they want to be here,” Wingard said. Wingard and Driggers teach adult ed at East Clarendon Middle-High School, 1170 Pope Street, Turbeville. Wingard said having a local place for students makes it more convenient, as not all have access to transportation. Adult education is also offered in Summerton at Clarendon School District 1 Community Resource Center (Historic Scott’s Branch High School), 1154 Fourth St., and in Manning at the F.E. DuBose Campus, 3351 U.S. 521.
