Shaw Air Force Base’s host unit, the 20th Fighter Wing, has once again earned the Air Combat Command Meritorious Unit Award, a feat the wing also achieved in 2009, 2011 and 2012.

20th Fighter Wing again wins award given to top units FROM STAFF REPORTS The squadrons and groups that make up the 20th Fighter Wing at Shaw Air Force Base since 2001 have been involved in major combat operations in both Afghanistan, Iraq and other areas in southeast Asia. On Aug. 19, the U.S. Air Force recognized the men and women serving in the wing for their work during Operation Enduring Freedom — the official U.S. government name for the war in Afghanistan — by presenting them with the 2013 Air Combat Command Meritorious Unit Award. Given annually to only the top six units in Air Combat Command, the commendation was announced by Air Force Gen. Mike Hostage, its commander. Wing Commander Col.

An Alice Drive Middle School football player is helped from the scene of Saturday’s Sumter School District activity bus crash off U.S. 521 North. Thirteen Alice Drive students and a coach were transported via ambulance for treatment for minor injuries after the wreck. The students are football players who were coming from a morning scrimmage at Donald L. Crolley Memorial Stadium. All injuries from the wreck were described as minor and non-life threatening.

Middle school football team was returning from scrimmage BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com Football players are used to getting hit on the field. But the biggest danger for the Alice Drive Middle School football team wasn’t the opposing team in Saturday’s scrimmage.

Instead, several students and their coach were taken to the hospital after their school activity bus crashed off U.S. 521 on their way home from the game. The bus was leaving Donald L. Crolley Memorial Stadium, where they were scrimmaging with other area middle schools Satur-

BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com The officers in Sumter’s Crime Prevention Unit have a unique mission. Most of their colleagues in the Sumter Police Department respond to crimes after they’ve already been committed. But the job of the CPU is to try to stop those crimes from happening in the first place. “We have a multi-faceted operation,” said Lt. Don Florence, one of three officers assigned to the unit, along with Cpls. Joey Duggan and James Sinkler. “We provide crime prevention education to the public, we organize Neighborhood Watch groups, and we sponsor different community events to build a relationship with the community.” Three officers are assigned to the unit full

Santee mall owner courts Catawbas BY ROBERT J. BAKER bbaker@theitem.com SANTEE — If the owner of the nearly empty Santee Outlet Mall has it his way, the oncethriving shopping center could serve as the next home for the Catawba Indian Nation’s bingo operation. Nation representatives said last week that mall owner Herman Lischkoff wrote to them on Aug. 15, asking South Carolina’s only federally recognized tribe if it wants to lease or buy the 150,000-square-foot mall that now only has one store. “If we are ready to pursue a second location, which we are allowed to do (under state and federal law), we will contact him,” tribal spokeswoman Elizabeth Harris told the Orangeburg Times and Democrat. She said that, otherwise, the tribe is focused solely on the opening of its operations in York County. A settlement agreement made with state lawmakers 20 years ago currently allows the Catawbas the right to operate two bingo halls. Prizes are limited to a $100,000 maximum under the settlement, which was resolved after 153-year-old

claims to land around the tribe’s reservation in York, Lancaster and Chester counties. After opening its York location, which operated from 1997 through 2006 and reopened recently, the nation sought North Myrtle Beach as its second site. But local officials caved to public pressure and rejected the tribe’s proposal, citing zoning conflicts. Lischkoff’s courting of the tribe from the early 2000s to 2004 ended similarly, with public opposition from religious groups and churches that said a bingo hall would “bring in the types of people that hometown folks don’t want to associate with,” one Santee resident told The Item in 2007. Locals said gambling leads to addiction, moral decay and gives young people the impression that gambling is all right. But Lischkoff maintained throughout the struggle that aside from saving the mall, a bingo hall would bring in as many as 4,000 new jobs — 1,000 at the hall alone — and millions of dollars annually to Santee’s struggling economy.

“It’s a no-brainer,” Lischkoff said in 2010 with his mall only operating a handful of stores. “You want to lower a high unemployment rate, you bring in jobs. It’s simple.” According to the state Department of Employment and Workforce, Santee’s unemployment rate has ranged from a low of 6.5 percent in May 2007 to a high of 17.7 percent in September 2009. Its current rate, as of June, is 12.8 percent. Orangeburg County’s rate is a bit higher at 13.4 percent, while neighboring Sumter and Clarendon counties have 9.5 and 12.1 percent, respectively. At the height of the mall’s success, nearly every store was full. By 2004, roughly seven stores filled the 30-store facility, but Lischkoff told The Item in 2007 that 15 stores were operating on the property. Now, Ingrid’s Antiques and Collectibles is the only store remaining. Owner Ingrid Jacobs was unavailable on Saturday for comment but has posted on the store’s Facebook page that she has no intentions of closing the store. Lischkoff always promoted stores remaining open during his talks with the Catawbas.

From left, fourth-grader Sydney Rogers and fifth-grader Abbe Davis try out for the Harp Ensemble at Kingsbury Elementary School recently. The Sumter school will offer harp ensemble this fall as a choice for students in an after-school program. Music teacher Michelle Blassengale has partnered with local harpist Kipper Ackerman to offer lessons to more than a dozen fourth- and fifth-grade students. One of the biggest obstacles was obtaining the instruments, as the cost is about $700 each. Five of the six harps have been paid for through private donations. One was purchased by Kingsbury Parent Teacher Association, and another was purchased by current and retired teachers of Kingsbury in memory of long-time teacher Jeannette Harrison. The students will begin lessons on Sept. 9.

CRIME from Page A1 time, along with Barron Hite, a civilian crime-prevention specialist who used to work in the 11th Circuit Solicitor’s Office in Lexington. “When I came here in 2009, the unit was pretty much obsolete. The budget was only $1,000 a year,” Hite said in the office she shares with her uniformed coworkers in the Liberty Center on West Liberty Street. “Since then, we’ve had an increase in staff and money because people see the benefit in the watch groups and the mentoring program and the interactions with the community.” Sumter Police Chief Russell Roark touts the unit’s role in directly serving residents the department is meant to protect. “The Crime Prevention Unit incorporates the public information and community education facets of the department,” Roark said. “In addition to keeping the public informed of current events and arrests, they also provide public safety information and resources to citizens. Having a group dedicated to these services is paramount in connecting the department to the community.” “It says a lot about the chief and his level of support,” Hite said. “He knows it’s important to take positive action and not just react.” The CPU works to strengthen ties between the police and community members most directly affected by crime. Officers have helped to establish 35 active Neighborhood Watch groups across the city to guard against any criminal activity even when a police officer can’t be on the scene. “The Neighborhood Watch is solely driven by the neighborhood itself,” said Duggan, who coordinates many of the activities of Sumter’s watch groups with the CPU. “They form and govern themselves. We just provide them with resources and educate them about what to look for and how to report suspicious activity. They really become our eyes and ears in the community.” Resident Senthia Conyers said the CPU has been a great help in organiz-

ing a Neighborhood Watch in the Fuller Gardens area. She and her neighbors have had an ongoing problem with someone cutting out a section of a chain-link fence behind their homes on Habitat Drive, allowing trespassers from the Mooneyham Road area easy access to the backs of several houses at any time. “We were having break-ins every other day,” Conyers said. She and several neighbors formed a watch last year to combat crime in the area. They agreed to stagger their lunch hours so one of them can be present for most of the day, acting as a lookout for any suspicious activity or unfamiliar visitors. Sumter police have been a tremendous help in organizing the Neighborhood Watch in Fuller Gardens and assisting residents in policing the neighborhood, Conyers said, even walking with them on their foot patrols. “If we call in that we saw someone come through (the hole in the fence), sometimes they’ll just park their (patrol) car and wait for them to come back,” Conyers said. The relationship those kinds of activities build between police officers and the more civically active residents can be crucial when police do respond to a neighborhood. “If there’s a rash of car break-ins in an area, that can give us a central person to deal with,” Duggan said. The Fuller Gardens group has grown from four people at its beginning last September to having almost the whole neighborhood turn out for its National Night Out event with members of the CPU on Aug. 6. Conyers said the watch group has had a major impact on the safety of the community. “Our last break-in was last month,” she said. “An alarm notified the police, and a neighbor came over when they heard the alarm and (the attempted burglar) had already left when the alarm went off.” Most recently, the CPU organized the police department’s Back to School Bash on Aug. 13 in Crosswell Park, coordinating the event with other agencies, community partners and businesses, the school district and even the Third Army at Shaw Air Force Base. The day was a fun one for youngsters about to head back to

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2013

class, but the event also served the CPU’s purpose of connecting police officers to their community and especially the community’s young people. One of the unit’s long-term programs is mentoring students starting in elementary school. “We have regular patrol officers come in on a weekly basis, depending on manpower needs, and have them participate in school” like reading to young students, Florence said. “That’s important for kids who may not have these kinds of role models at home.” The mentoring program gives children a chance to interact with police officers one on one and see them in a positive light, instead of encountering them in a more hostile situation when they get older. “For some kids, the only time they see law enforcement is when they come to take their daddy or their mama to jail,” Duggan said. “At that age, they don’t understand the reasons why that’s happening, and they can come to see law enforcement as an adversary that’s only there to take their loved ones away.” Duggan said he’s seen the benefits of this outreach when officers later interact with young people outside the classroom and get a more positive response than they would otherwise. “When they see those officers on patrol, they’ll call out, ‘Hey, Officer Duggan,’ and come up and talk to them,” he said. “That’s the kind of relationship building we’re talking about.” The CPU tries to get officers face to face with the community in other ways as well. They will do door-todoor foot patrols in some neighborhoods, handing out fliers on how to avoid being a victim of burglary, and they’ve worked with local churches on “security surveys” to make sure their sanctuaries are safe from ungodly trespassers. CPU officers said any help they get from residents can have an impact on crime in an area. “Our call volume goes up, but our problems in the area go down,” Duggan said. “The residents are more vigilant, and when the criminal element realizes ‘somebody’s watching me and law enforcement keeps showing up,’ that runs them out of that area.” Reach Bristow Marchant at (803) 774-1272.

Some clergy removed from ordained ministry FROM STAFF REPORTS More than 100 South Carolina clergy have been notified that they have been removed from the ordained ministry of The Episcopal Church and are “deprived of the right to exercise... the gifts and spiritual authority conferred in ordination,” according to an article on the diocese’s website. “Notice of Removal” letters signed by the Right Reverend Charles G. vonRosenberg, Bishop of The Episcopal Church in South Carolina, were issued this past week to individuals who are “canonically resident” in the diocese, meaning they are under the authority of Bishop vonRosenberg within The Episcopal Church. Many of those affected by the removal have publicly announced that they are no longer affiliated with the church and have aligned themselves with a breakaway group led by Mark Lawrence. Lawrence was removed from the ordained ministry in December 2012 and is no longer recognized as a bishop in The Episcopal Church. In the hope of an eventual reconciliation, Bishop vonRosenberg exercised an option available to him under the Constitution and Canons of the Church and “released and removed” the affected clergy, rather than allowing them to be “deposed” on the grounds of abandonment of the church. To assist the public in identifying priests and deacons who continue to be part of The Episcopal Church in this region of South Carolina, a list of Clergy in Good Standing is available on the diocesan website: http://www.episcopalchurchsc.org/clergy-in-goodstanding.html.

WRECK from Page A1 Thirteen students and the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach, Billy Ray Geddings, who was also driving the bus, were triaged at the scene by Emergency Medical Services and transported by ambulance to Tuomey Regional Medical Center. At least 13 other students and one other coach were driven from the scene of the wreck by parents and teachers to be checked out at the hospital. Sumter School District spokeswoman Shelly Galloway said none of the injuries from the wreck appeared to be life-threatening, and a report by S.C. Highway Patrol described all injuries as minor. By 5 p.m., all students had been released except for one student who was transported to a Columbia hospital as a precautionary measure. Galloway wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t elaborate on why the student required further treatment. All the students involved are eighth-graders at Alice Drive Middle. Other students on the bus who were uninjured, along with riders on a second team bus that

was not involved in the wreck, were taken to Alice Drive Middle School where they were released to their parents. Several parents and teachers who were also driving back from the game stopped at the scene of the wreck, with cars parking along both sides of U.S. 521 and filling the median. Law enforcement had to close the southbound lane of the highway while first responders worked to clear the scene. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was behind the second bus, and I just saw them slow down and pull over,â&#x20AC;? said Lawrence Dozier Sr., whose youngest son was riding on the second bus, â&#x20AC;&#x153;when I drove by the wreck and said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;oh, my God.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Several parents whose children werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t driven away by ambulance drove to Tuomey themselves to have their children checked out. The 13-year-old son of Alice Drive teacher Beverly Dawkins was uninjured in the wreck, but she ended up driving another coach to the hospital to be examined and

According to Item archives, the wing won the same recognition in 2012, 2011 and 2009. During the period for which the wing was recognized this year, the wing deployed 18 F-16 Fighting Falcons and 255 airmen to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Overseas, the unit flew more than 2,800 combat flights and supported 85 troops-in-contact events. The operations resulted in the destruction of numerous weapons caches, 35 roadside bombs and the elimination of 118 enemy combatants, according to a release from the 20th Fighter Wing Public Affairs Office. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The airmen of the 20th Fighter Wing should be proud of themselves,â&#x20AC;? Hall said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our success during combat operations is a product of the entire wingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dedication and commitment to excellence.â&#x20AC;? The wing is broken up into four primary segments: â&#x20AC;˘ The 20th Operations Group, which includes the 55th, 77th and 79th fighter squadrons â&#x20AC;&#x201D; also called the Shooters, Gamblers and Tigers, respectively; â&#x20AC;˘ The 20th Maintenance Group, which is responsible for fixing and maintaining aircraft, weapons needs and all the nuts and bolts in between; â&#x20AC;˘ The 20th Mission Support Group, which helps defend, supply and sustain everyone on the ground and in the air; and â&#x20AC;˘ The 20th Medical Group, which sees to all the medical needs of the unit. All told, about 4,000 personnel comprise the 19 different squadrons under the four group umbrellas.

Geddings, the driver, was placed in a neck brace and placed on a back board for transport as a precaution but was conscious at the scene, according to district Athletic Director Rick Avins, who spoke with the coach at the hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was more concerned about his players than himself,â&#x20AC;? Avins said. Cpl. Judd Jones with Highway Patrol said Geddings would be cited for driving too fast for conditions in the wreck. The school district declined to comment on the citation Saturday. Tyreek Richburg was one of the players on the bus. The 15-year-old guard and tackle was sitting in a wheelchair in the Tuomey waiting area with his family waiting to be seen for a knee injury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I looked up, and I saw a car, it looked like a Mercury,

After the wreck, Tyreek described seeing his teammates injured, including one boy whose face was covered in blood. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was bad,â&#x20AC;? he said. His mother, Tomeka Bowman, wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t at the scrimmage but rushed to the scene of the wreck when she heard and then drove to meet him at the hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My phoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been ringing so much it feels like everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been calling me,â&#x20AC;? she said. Tyreekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandmother Doris Gates drove from Columbia to be with her grandson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My heart started beatingâ&#x20AC;? when she heard about the wreck, Gates said, but she was relieved to see he was OK.

The president didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say so, but his strategy carries enormous risks to his and the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credibility, which the administration has argued forcefully is on the line in Syria. Obama long ago said the use of chemical weapons was a â&#x20AC;&#x153;red lineâ&#x20AC;? that Assad would not be allowed to cross with impunity. Nor would the White House say what options would still be open to the president if he fails to win the backing of the House and Senate for the military measures he has threatened. Only this week, British Prime Minister David Cameron suffered a humiliating defeat when the House of Commons refused to support his call for military action against Syria.

Financial stress could hit your brain and wallet BY SETH BORENSTEIN AP Science Writer WASHINGTON — Being short on cash may make you a bit slower in the brain, a new study suggests. People worrying about having enough money to pay their bills tend to lose temporarily the equivalent of 13 IQ points, scientists found when they gave intelligence tests to shoppers at a New Jersey mall and farmers in India. The idea is that financial stress monopolizes thinking, making other calculations slower and more difficult, sort of like the effects of going without sleep for a night. And this money-andbrain crunch applies, albeit to a smaller degree, to about 100 million Americans who face financial squeezes, say the team of economists and psychologists who wrote the study published in Friday’s issue of the journal Science. “Our paper isn’t about poverty. It’s about people struggling to make ends meet,” said Sendhil Mullainathan, a Harvard economist and study coauthor. “When we think about people who are financially stressed, we think they are short on money, but the truth is they are also short on cognitive capacity.”

If you are always thinking about overdue bills, a mortgage or rent, or college loans, it takes away from your focus on other things. So being late on loans could end up costing you both interest points and IQ points, Mullainathan said. The study used tests that studied various aspects of thinking including a traditional IQ test, getting the 13 IQ point drop, said study co-author Jiaying Zhao, a professor of psychology and sustainability at the University of British Columbia. The scientists looked at the effects of finances on the brain both in the lab and in the field. In controlled lab-like conditions, they had about 400 shoppers at Quaker Bridge Mall in central New Jersey consider certain financial scenarios and tested their brain power. Then they looked at real life in the fields of India, where farmers only get paid once a year. Before the harvest, they take out loans and pawn goods. After they sell their harvest, they are flush with cash. Mullainathan and colleagues tested the same 464 farmers before and after the harvest, and their IQ scores improved by 25 percent when their wallets fattened.

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2013

Results contradict social theories about the poor (AP) — The study’s authors and others say the results contradict long-standing conservative economic social and political theory that say it is individuals — not circumstances — that are the primary problem with poverty. In the case of India, it was the same people before and after, so it can’t be the person’s fault. “For a long time we’ve been blaming the poor for their own failings,” study coauthor Jiaying Zhao said. “We’re arguing something very different.” Poverty researcher Kathryn Edin of Harvard, who wasn’t part of the study, said the research “is a big deal that solves a critical puzzle in poverty research.” PHOTO PROVIDED

Tooth Fairy inflation: Price of a tooth nears $4 BY JOSEPH PISANI AP Business Writer

TOOTH FAIRY CALCULATOR

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Days of finding a quarter under your pillow are long gone. The Tooth Fairy no longer leaves loose change. Kids this year are getting an average of $3.70 per lost tooth, a 23 percent jump over last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rate of $3. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a 42 percent spike from the $2.60 per tooth that the Tooth Fairy gave in 2011, according to a new survey by payment processor Visa Inc., released Friday with an update of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tooth Fairy personal finance app. Part of the reason for the sharp rise: Parents donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want their kids to be the ones at the playground who received the lowest amount. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A kid who got a quarter would wonder why their tooth was worth less than the kid who got $5,â&#x20AC;? said Kit Yarrow, a consumer psychologist and professor at Golden Gate University. To avoid that, Brian and Brittany Klems asked friends and co-workers what they were giving their kids. The Klems, who have three daughters and live in Cincinnati, settled on giving their sixyear-old daughter Ella $5 for the first tooth that fell out, and $1 for any others. They say that $5 was enough without going overboard. They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want other families to think they were giving too much. Then Ella found out that one of her friends received $20 for a tooth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told her that the Tooth Fairy has only so

https://apps.facebook. com/449594221747991/ much money for every night, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how she decides to split up the money,â&#x20AC;? said Brian Klems, 34, a parenting blogger and author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh Boy, Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Having a Girl: A Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Survival Guide to Raising Daughters.â&#x20AC;? Confused about what to give? Ask other parents what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving, said Jason Alderman, a senior director of financial education at Visa. That can at least get you in the ballpark of what your kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; friends are getting, he says. Alderman gave his two kids $1 a tooth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we were on the cheap side,â&#x20AC;? he said. Other families gave about $5 a tooth. One family gave their kid an antique typewriter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have no idea how they got that to fit under the pillow,â&#x20AC;? he laughs. As part of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal finance education program, Visa offers a downloadable Tooth Fairy Calculator app that will give you an idea of how much parents in your age group, income bracket and education level are giving their kids, said Alderman. The newly updated app is available for iPhones and iPads on iTunes, and the calculator is available on the Facebook apps page. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While more money is exciting news for children, parents should take this opportunity to talk saving and smart money

habits with their kids and have the same talk with a perhaps overgenerous Tooth Fairy,â&#x20AC;? said Nat Sillin, who runs Visaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial education program in the U.S. How much kids are getting from the Tooth Fairy depends on where they live. Kids in the Northeast are getting the most, according to the Visa study, at $4.10 per tooth. In the West and South, kids received $3.70 and $3.60 per tooth, respectively. Midwestern kids received the least, at $3.30 a tooth. About a third of all parents surveyed say the Tooth Fairy left a dollar or less. Then there are the heavy hitters. After losing her first tooth, 5-year-old Caroline Ries found a $100 bill under her pillow, along with a brand new My Little Pony toothbrush and a tube of toothpaste. But there was a catch. Her mother, Nina Ries, also left a note saying that the $100 had to go straight to Carolineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college fund. The Tooth Fairy would give her an additional $20 to spend any way she likes if she brushes her teeth every day after lunch for a month. She did, and 30 days later Caroline found $20 under her pillow.

Hairy Dogs and Roosters ready to rumble B

y now the Clemson Tigers and Georgia Bulldogs will have settled their football differences. No matter the outcome, the hatred remains deep, but it’s too early in the season to reflect on the past. There’s only next week. The Hairy Bulldogs are Graham now hunkerOSTEEN ing down for a visit from Steve Spurrier and the South Carolina Gamecocks next Saturday. As a public service reminder, the kickoff “Between the Hedges” in Athens is 4:30 p.m., ESPN time, so start planning your week accordingly. The countdown

begins now. Yes, football is back, and the Major League Baseball playoff picture is taking shape quickly in that marvelous parallel universe. Go Braves. In serious sports circles, this is known as “The Most Glorious Time of the Year,” a distinction once reserved for the Christmas season before television, “The Internet” and mobile devices made the world so stressful, with all those constant intrusive electronic images, messages, alerts and such. Thank God for dependable printed newspapers such as The Item, but I digress. Let’s think back to a simpler time when, for example, a child could ride standing up in the back seat for 105 miles from Greenville, S.C.,

COMMENTARY | to Athens, Ga., in a big, red convertible Cadillac with two noted physicians on a beautiful fall day. That child was yours truly, and the noted physicians were the late Dr. Kyle Brown, my maternal grandfather, and his good friend the late Dr. Gene Yeargin, both of Greenville. They were Georgia graduates — undergraduate and medical school — and seriously loyal to their alma mater. My grandfather “Pop” was famous for singing “Glory Glory to Old Georgia” at family functions. In October of 1970, I was 9 years old, and Coach Paul Dietzel’s South Carolina was playing Coach Vince Dooley’s Georgia in Athens.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Be prepared to be defensive during honest discussion Responding to the letter Aug. 27 from Jacqueline K. Hughes to Eugene Baten, I would like to join the dialogue. No one wants to accept a conversation on the policies instituted against Africans (who don’t claim us) and the undesired results. We seem only able to tolerate the dreadful pictures of the Holocaust, the survivors, assist in the return of their treasures and hunting down Nazis. 1. None of us need to define racist, there were plenty of southern governors that were the personification of the word. Older blacks can tell you what it looks, feels, tastes and smells like. It would be senseless to try to give the recipe for it. 2. Social justice would mean that anyone who needed food stamps could get them and truly assisted in finding meaningful employment. The injustice comes when someone counts and watches to see who is using them. 3. Personally, I feel it more appropriate to be considered a man or a woman instead of being categorized for whatever reason. Just count me,

I checked “The Google” on this, and here’s what happened: South Carolina lost 52-34. USC superstar Dickie Harris scored two touchdowns, one on a 96yard kickoff return and the other on a 94-yard interception. We had great seats close to the field, and it was all thrilling. Aside from the memories of Dickie Harris and his amazing runs, I mostly remember riding around Athens in that Cadillac before the game, with two men who were openly but respectfully admiring beautiful women, smoking cigars and, perhaps, taking an occasional discreet sip of whiskey from a handsome silver flask. Those old killers were then in their late 60s,

dressed impeccably, wore great hats and were impossibly cool without even trying, which I suppose is the elusive magic formula not available to everyone. We don’t see enough gentlemen in America anymore, and that’s a shame. So as game time nears this weekend, try to remember your manners whether you’re a Gamecock or a Bulldog. Dress sharply, and don’t goad or mock the opposing fans, no matter how obnoxious they seem. After all, it’s just a game. Isn’t it? Graham Osteen is EditorAt-Large of The Item.

period. You are congratulated for being able to claim your ancestry. Can you imagine how much of the same blood runs through blacks’ veins? Unfortunately for us, the family tree would start on a plantation and then only if accurate records were kept. 4. There is a famous cook who slipped and used the “N” word and the excuse makers said she is a white woman raised in the South. What are the chances that some of the teachers in Sumter County schools have the same pedigree? 5. How can you ask one black person to explain the commission of so many crimes by blacks in this county? Whatever reason he gives would only be called “racist.” To sum up my part of the discussion I would like to say that there is no way to have an honest discussion without being prepared to be defensive. It’s time for the intelligent adults to act that way and be better examples for the children. Don’t invite me to a duel and expect me to not be armed. Don’t say “en garde” while the blade is already at my throat. Let us just be peaceful and respectful to one another. LORRAINE MUHAMMAD Sumter

COMMENTARY

Mirror, mirror on the president’s wall

ASHINGTON — The president is up early, already showered and preparing to shave. Wiping steam from the mirror, he grimaces slightly at his image. Obama: Good grief, I look old. So much gray. Mirror: Aw, lighten up, Bo, it makes you look distinguished. You can’t wage war without a few streaks of worry showing in your face and hair. (Obama hits his mega- Kathleen watt-smile PARKER switch.) Even my smile looks old. And by the way, Bo is the dog. I am Barack Obama. I am the president of the United States, leader of the free world ... Keep telling yourself that, buddy, and maybe you’ll be able to believe it. All the other presidents managed to. Buddy was also a dog. What’s your problem?

Nothing, just trying to keep you grounded. So what’s it going to be, Mr. Red Line? You going to go it alone? What the hell?! What is wrong with David Cameron? I can’t count on anybody! (Obama nicks his chin.) First, John Boehner can’t get those tea party nitwits to do anything — anything! — and now the Brits won’t go with me to Syria. Where’s Tony Blair when you need him?! Probably making a pilgrimage someplace. Maybe I should become a Catholic, too. Then I can say, oops, I guess I was wrong, but, you know, I did what I thought was best. I’m not sure Cardinal Dolan would go for that after you, ahem, misled him on the whole religious liberty thing. But, hey, at least you’ve got the French. Ah oui. Assad must be terrified. But, yeah, Blair and Bush didn’t even have WMD. We at least know that Assad has chemical weapons and used them against his own people. You’re stuck with those imag-

es, buddy. Oh, sorry. Have you heard from Colin? Nooooooooo. (Chuckles.) Maybe he could help. I must be sick. Suddenly I want to talk to W, the poor slob. He got saddled with yellowcake. I’m yoked to red line. Why are we always talking in primary colors? I feel like an idiot. I’m not a war president! I’m an end-thewar guy. I’m a drone striker, not a missile cruiser. I just wanted to heal the sick, help the poor and maybe shift a tide here and there. I feel like I’m going to throw up. All those kids. Oh my god. (A woman’s voice penetrates the closed bathroom door.) Michelle Obama: Barack, what are you doing in there? Your steel-cut oatmeal is getting cold. Did you want some fair-trade organic blackstrap molasses on that? Barack? Barack? OK then, I’ve got a mani in five. I’ll just leave it on your dresser. Don’t forget to take your Male Supreme tonic. And your bloodroot and burdock root. Oh, hey, Dawn! I didn’t

hear you come in. So I’m thinking blue shellac. Crazy, right? President: MehmehMEHmehmehmeh-meh. Mirror: Look, Mr. President, you’re much too hard on yourself. Read your own lips: No good options. You probably shouldn’t have drawn the red line, sure, but who knew Assad would go there? And by the way, let’s enjoy a moment of irony, shall we? Your Republican pals? You know, the ones who were in a swoon over shock and awe, suddenly they’re the ones urging caution? Now they’re the ones who want U.N. approval? Suddenly THEY need absolute proof that Assad used chemical weapons. Where was this skepticism when we invaded Iraq? Rich. Well, if we learned anything from that fiasco, it’s that no matter how noble our intentions going in, we can’t control what happens the day after. And whatever worse is, worse will happen. It’s that damned red line. Why can’t I just say, look, all

I said was there would be consequences and that Assad would be held accountable? That doesn’t mean I have to bomb Syria and possibly ignite a global war. Russia, Iran, Hezbollah — they’d love it. Better that I overstated a bluff than that I spill more blood and possibly enter into yet another endless war with people who will hate us no matter what. Without international support. ... Who knows where it will end? But the children, Mr. President. Those images. The suffering. 100,000 dead. Your credibility. I know, I know.

Cup championship just two races away. Only three drivers are

EDITOR’S NOTE The final score of the ClemsonGeorgia game was not available at press time. For a complete recap, visit our website at www.theitem.com. Tigers went 55 yards in seven plays. The touchdown came on a 31-yard pass from quarterback Tajh Boyd to freshman running back Zac Brooks

on a wheel route. Chandler Catanzaro’s extra point made it 28-21 with 10:58 remaining in the third quarter. UGA snapped a run of six consecutive stops by the Clemson defense, but needed a little trickery to do so. On fourth down and one yard to go at the Bulldog 34, punter Collin Barber pulled the ball in and ran five yards for a first down.

he stands on the visitors’ side of Donald L. Crolley Memorial Stadium on Friday were proof of the anticipation surrounding the Sumter High School football program. They were nearly full as the Gamecocks took on Crestwood in Reggie Kennedy’s debut as the SHS head coach. The Gamecocks had done really well in preseason scrimmages as Kennedy and his staff implemented his quick-paced offense. That excitement continued for the better part of the game as Sumter and the Knights went back and forth. When all was said and done though, Crestwood had beaten the Gamecocks for the fifth straight year, 35-24. Dennis OK, so maybe BRUNSON it’s not going to be as easy as some may have thought. The fact of the matter is the Gamecocks could not slow down Crestwood’s rushing attack. The Knights used a combination of the Wing-T and Hammer formations to pile up 418 yards on the ground. Crestwood had four long, sustained scoring drives and running back Ty’Son Williams broke off a 61-yard run for the other touchdown. That Crestwood controlled the game with its rushing attack is not unusual. In Keith Crolley’s now 16th year at the helm of the Knights, there have been many games where his team’s offense has looked like a train running down hill. That’s the way it looked on Friday. Kennedy lamented the fact that Sumter had to open the season with a Sumter School District rival, but with the teams in SEE BRUNSON, PAGE B4

STATE ROUNDUP

Coastal edges Bulldogs 27-20 ORANGEBURG — Quinn Backus’ blocked field goal return for a touchdown and a defensive goal-line stand were the game-changers on Saturday as Coastal Carolina beat South Carolina State 27-20 in a thriller. Backus scooped up a third-quarter field goal try which was blocked by LaDarius Hawthorne and raced 56 yards to score. Dalton Demos tied it at 20 with a 2-point conversion run and CCU’s defense, largely manhandled in the first half, stepped up to shut down the Bulldogs’ next drive with a goal-line stand. CCU scored 15 unanswered points, including a game-winning 99-yard drive capped by a 1-yard run by Lorenzo Taliafero, who also scored in the first quarter on a 3-yard Alex Ross pass.

Buckeyes pull away from Buffalo COLUMBUS, Ohio — Braxton Miller threw two touchdown passes before fighting leg cramps and Jordan Hall ran for two more scores to lead No. 2 Ohio State to a 40-20 victory over Buffalo on Saturday in the season opener for both teams. The Buckeyes, striving for a crisper start from coach Urban Meyer’s debut in 2012, led 23-0 after the first quarter before the Bulls made things interesting. Joe Licata threw two TD passes and linebacker Kahlil Mack returned a Miller interception 45 yards to make it 30-20 in the third quarter. Miller was sidelined a second time with cramps and sub Kenny Guiton promptly tossed a 21-yard TD pass to Chris Fields. Hall had a career-high 159 yards rushing, scoring on runs of 37 and 49 yards.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Tommy Rees threw a pair of 32-yard touchdown passes to DaVaris Daniels, a 66-yard scoring pass to Troy Niklas and Notre Dame had three quick scoring drives en route to a 28-6 victory over Temple on Saturday. The 14th-ranked Irish jumped to a 14-0 lead on a pair of three-play drives on its opening two possesions and appeared headed for a blowout. But when the Notre Dame offense stalled, Temple squandered a pair of scoring chances, with Jim Cooper Jr. missing a pair of field goals. An unsettled feeling settled in at Notre Dame Stadium when Kenny Harper scored on a 1-yard run to cut the lead

to 14-6. The Irish regained control, however, with Niklas’ TD with 43 seconds left in the half. (17) MICHIGAN CENTRAL MICHIGAN

Adams returned, though, and scored on a 2-yard run to put the Eagles up 49-46.

Manziel tosses 3 TDs as Aggies cruise 52-31 COLLEGE STATION, Texas â&#x20AC;&#x201D; After serving his first-half suspension, Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel threw three TD passes and scrambled for 19 yards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ran his mouth a bit, too â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as No. 7 Texas A&M posted a lopsided 52-31 win over Rice. Manziel was sitting out because of what the school said was an â&#x20AC;&#x153;inadvertentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; violation of NCAA rules involving signing autographs. His first touchdown came on a 23yard pass to Mike Evans on A&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second drive of the half. Shortly before that, he got into it with a Rice defender, appearing to mimic signing an autograph while getting up from a tackle. He ended his day by getting yanked following an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for pointing at the scoreboard after a TD pass in the fourth quarter. He was replaced by Matt Joeckel on A&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last drive. Joeckel started at quarterback for A&M and threw for 190 yards and a touchdown to help the Aggies to a 28-21 lead at halftime. Manziel came in on Texas A&Mâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first offensive play of the second half and the Aggies capped his first drive with a 44-yard field goal. He had been investigated for allegedly accepting money for autographs from memorabilia brokers, a violation of NCAA rules that could have led to a much longer suspension. Instead, the first freshman to win the Heisman only had to sit out the first two quarters to start the season after which he set numerous school and Southeastern Conference records while leading Texas A&M to an 11-2 mark and a victory over No. 1 Alabama.

Georgia looked as though it would go ahead as it moved to a first down and goal on its next possession. However, the Clemson defense forced the Bulldogs to try a field goal, and a high snap foiled that. Clemson scored again when Stanton Seckinger caught a 7-yard TD pass from Boyd.

Harvick wins Nationwide race

different classifications, it has been that way for the past several years. Opening with someone that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as emotionally attached to the game as a county rival would have been more to his liking. With all of the buzz surrounding the change at SHS, the perception of some may have been that snapping the streak against Crestwood was a given; not Kennedy nor his coaching staff, but Sumter High fans. Crolley, being the veteran coach and motivator he is, seized on that and had his team ready to play beyond the usual intensity that comes with a rivalry game. All rivalry talk and motivation aside, Crestwood was simply the better football team. The Knights offensive line pushed the Sumter defense around, especially from the second quarter on. As good as Crestwood is at running the WingT, the Hammer is what won the game on Friday. There was no misdirection, no pulling guards that go with the Wing-T, just hand the ball off to one of three backs and go straight ahead. Also, every one of the Crestwood backs

HAMPTON, Ga. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kevin Harvick raced to his first NASCAR Nationwide Series victory of the year, holding off Kyle Busch on the final lap at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Saturday night. Harvick pulled ahead of Busch on the 60th lap and led 132 of the 195 laps. Busch had won six of the previous Nationwide events this year in which he also won the pole. Sam Hornish Jr. was third, followed by Kasey Kahne, rookie Kyle Larson, Joey Lagano, Trevor Bayne, Austin Dillon, Regan Smith and Brian Scott. HARVICK The victory marked a redemption of sorts for Harvick, who lost the lead on the final lap last year in the Nationwide event at Atlanta when Brad Keselowski bumped Ricky Stenhouse Jr. on the front straightaway and Stenhouse went ahead for good in Turn 3. Harvick finished third last year. Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory was his 40th on the Nationwide circuit. He has made seven starts this year, and hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finished lower than fifth in his last six events. When the fourth and final caution ended, Busch moved past Kahne and was side by side with Harvick with six laps to go. Busch was a single car length back with three laps to go, but Harvick wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let him get low and never relinquished the lead.

runs the ball hard. Williams had over 200 yards and Jason McDaniel was over 100. With what the Knights do and if they continue to do it to this degree, they could have an outstanding season even with being part of Region VI-3A. Sumter fans donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to start fretting. There is a lot of football left to play and one has to think the Gamecocks will get better as the season progresses, especially in the first year under a new head coach. SHS needs to shore itself up defensively, and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any easier this week against Stratford. This group of Knights is led by quarterback Jacob Park, a Georgia commitment. Offensively for Sumter, it displayed some big play potential with running back Rusell Jenkins and quarterback James Barnes going up top to Kyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Jon Tyler and Xzavion Burson. However, the Gamecocks sputtered at times, not getting the push up front it needed in short yardage situations. It will be interesting to see how the season unfolds for both schools.

NORTON, Mass. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; A good start and a great finish was enough for Sergio Garcia to take the lead Saturday in the Deutsche Bank Championship. For Phil Mickelson, just finishing in the same spot he started was a victory. On another day of soft conditions and plenty of birdies on the TPC Boston, Garcia opened with five birdies in seven holes, and then made an 18-foot eagle putt on the 18th hole for a 7-under 64 and a one-shot lead over Roberto Castro and Henrik Stenson, the Swede who is popping up on every leaderboard. Garcia was at 13-under 129, and it held up as the lead when no one could catch him on a cloudy afternoon with some light rain. Stenson had a 63, and Castro shot 65. Tiger Woods, in the 1-2-3 grouping with Mickelson and Adam Scott, made a 35-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole for a 67 and was six shots back. Mickelson, however, managed to steal the show with a 71.

BY TIM REYNOLDS The Associated Press MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Jay Brophy is 53. Doctors have told him his brain is 70. The former Miami Hurricanes and Miami Dolphins linebacker has two replaced hips, some back issues, and might walk and talk a little bit more slowly than he did a few years ago. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the roughly 4,500 players who are part of the concussion-related lawsuit that the NFL is willing to pay $765 million plus legal fees to settle. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no guarantee that Brophy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been diagnosed with what doctors called boxerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pugilistica, a disease that typically affects fighters and other athletes who take repeated blows to the head â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will ever see any of that money. If so, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not complaining. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good gesture. Hopefully, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the right thing,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Brophy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll believe it when I see it, but I hope itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the right direction. For money, I could care less. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care if I get a dime. Treatment would be better.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; If Brophy was suffering this weekend, it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t obvious. He spent it with many former Hurricanes teammates to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their 1983 national championship, chatting with old friends, smiling and talking and laughing and telling stories about how in his native Akron, Ohio, he spent some time coaching a relatively athletic young kid named LeBron James who eventually gave up football to become a fourtime-and-counting NBA MVP. When news of the tentative settlement â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a judge still has to accept the deal, though all indications are it will become reality â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hit,

MEDIATE ON TOP AT SHAW CLASSIC

CALGARY, Alberta â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Rocco Mediate played the back nine in 7-under 29 for the second straight day to increase his lead to two strokes in the Champions Tourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inaugural Shaw Charity Classic. The 50-year-old Mediate, the Allianz Championship winner in February in his first Champions Tour start, followed his opening 8-under 63 with a 64 to reach 15 under at tree-lined Canyon Meadows. He had seven birdies on the back nine after making an eagle and two bogeys on the front side. Bobby Clampett was second after a 65. Tom Pernice Jr., David Frost and Michael Allen were 11 under. Pernice had a 64, and Frost and Allen shot 66. TSENG TAKES SAFEWAY CLASSIC LEAD

PORTLAND, Ore. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Yani Tseng moved into position to end a long victory drought, shooting a 9-under 63 on Saturday to take a three-stroke lead into the final round of the Safeway Classic. Tseng, the 24-year-old Taiwanese star who has 15 LPGA Tour titles and had a 109-week run at No. 1 in the world ranking, is winless in 36 events since the Kia Classic in March 2012. She has tumbled to No. 15 in the world and missed cuts in the four of her last five tournaments. From wire reports

Brophy didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know exactly how to react. Much of the reaction fixated on the money, which was an enormous-sounding sum to some, a mere drop from the deep NFL coffers to others. But to Brophy, it made more sense to think about what the money could mean years from now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I understand what the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saying,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Brophy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But now we know these things are happening. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s do something about it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a $10 billion business, man. For guys who are in it for money and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all, then shame on them. The majority donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about a dime. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to get some treatment and find out what we can really do to help.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Player safety, especially relating to head injuries, has been at the forefront of the NFL conversation for years. Earlier this year, the NFL announced that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of a $60 million initiative to research ways to further speed diagnosis and improve treatment for brain injuries. Excessive contact on the field is now flag-worthy in many cases. Brophy doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to like that part very much. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the rules are getting out of control,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Brophy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you want to play flag football, then the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a violent sport for violent people. ... We understand injuries are going to happen. And if you told me that, I would have played because I was a nutcase anyway. I think you have to be a little bit to play the game.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

While Earnhardt, ranked seventh in the points, is solidly positioned to maintain his spot in the playoff, he knows major problems at Atlanta and next weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race in Richmond could knock him out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just going to have to keep an eye on everybody around us,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Earnhardt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel pretty good. I love Atlanta. I love Richmond. Those are good tracks for us. We have a chance to be successful, so I feel pretty confident.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Last season, the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most popular driver made the Chase but lost any hope of claiming his first series title when he sustained a concussion at Talladega, preventing him from racing the next two weeks. Now, with another shot at going for a championship, the 38-year-old Earnhardt knows he must balance his desire to win races against making sure heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still running at the end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I understand. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been through the process before,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to make knee-jerk reactions on the race track, do things that cause problems and wreck the car or anything like that. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in situations where I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize the sacrifice I made until it was too late. Now, I understand itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about being more patient and allowing the race to happen.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; No one is feeling the heat more than Brad Keselowski. The defending Cup champion has yet to win this season and ranks 11th in the standings, making it possible he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even get a chance to defend his crown in the final 10 races of the season.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quite honestly, our backs are against the wall,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Keselowski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But these are the times where great teams step up and make something happen, great drivers step up and make a play. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to the opportunity to prove what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re worth.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Johnson, who had an unprecedented run of titles from 2006-10, leads the standings and clinched his spot in the Chase three weeks ago. Bowyer wrapped up his automatic spot last week. Kenseth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who has a serieshigh five victories â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is assured of at least a wild card, one of two spots that go to the drivers ranked 11th to 20th with the most wins. Others are close. Carl Edwards and Kevin Harvick can clinch their spots before they head to Richmond, while Kyle Busch â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who missed out on the Chase a year ago â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is in good position this time with three wins and the fifth-most points. Earnhardt, Kasey Kahne, Greg Biffle and Joey Logano are next in line, though not nearly as comfortable about their chances of advancing. Right on their heels are Keselowski, Kurt Busch, Jeff Gordon and Martin Truex. At the moment, Truex is only 14th in the standings but has a win â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which gives him the edge in the wild-card race over the three drivers right ahead of him, all winless on the season. That could change in Atlanta, of course, which is why Truex is racing with a cast after breaking his right wrist in a crash at Bristol last weekend. Scott Speed is prepared to park his car and step in for Truex should the pain become unbearable during a 325-lap event on one of NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fastest tracks.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

New England quarterback Tim Tebow (5) was the biggest name let go on Saturday as NFL teams cut their rosters to 53.

Tebow among NFL cuts BY ARNIE STAPLETON The Associated Press After a restless night, hundreds of NFL players nervously checked their cellphones Saturday morning, cringing every time it buzzed. Tim Tebow was among those who got the dreaded call telling him to come see the coach and bring in his playbook. Teams had to whittle their rosters to the 53-man maximum Saturday, and although his release wasn’t a big surprise, Tebow was by far the biggest name among the notable cuts. “I will remain in relentless pursuit of continuing my lifelong dream of being an NFL quarterback,’’ an undaunted Tebow tweeted. After being let go by his third team in 18 months — and with the season just five days away — the quarterback’s chances of immediately catching on with another team seem slim. Several other veteran QBs also found themselves looking for work on this Labor Day weekend as the Giants released longtime backup David Carr, the Packers cut Vince

Young and the Bills chopped Matt Leinart. Other noteworthy cuts included Eagles RG Danny Watkins; 49ers LS Brian Jennings; 49ers WR Austin Collie; Panthers QB Jimmy Clausen; Saints S Jim Leonhard; Browns K Shayne Graham and Chargers WR Robert Meachem. Those who made the 53-man rosters had a weekend respite before heading back to work Monday, except for the Broncos and Ravens, who kick off the season Thursday night in Denver. The Broncos held meetings and a walk-through Saturday after final cuts were made. They’ll practice today, as will the Super Bowl champion Ravens, who are being forced to start the season on the road because baseball’s Orioles wouldn’t move their game

in Baltimore that night. Among Denver’s cuts was veteran running back Lance Ball, paving the way for the injured C.J. Anderson of Cal to make the roster while the Broncos wait for him to recover from a sprained right MCL. Teams can also fill their eight-man practice squads today. This could be it for Tebow, the popular but polarizing player who has provided both his supporters and detractors with plenty of fodder during his 35-game NFL career that includes a 47.9 completion percentage, 17 touchdown throws, nine interceptions, a dozen TD runs and 15 fumbles. Jettisoned by the Jets last winter, Tebow signed June 11 with New England, where the man who drafted him in Denver, Josh McDaniels, is the offensive coordinator. His three-month stay with the Patriots was decidedly lower key than his stints with the Broncos, whom he led to the playoffs in 2011, and Jets, but he still had trouble throwing the ball, posting a passer rating of just 47.2.

Since opening a few weeks ago, the parking lot of East of Chicago Pizza has been busy in the lunch and dinner hours, serving up slice after slice of the franchise’s handmade pizza to Sumter residents. “It’s been phenomenal,” said Cathy Rabon, who owns the business with her husband, Bubba. From specialty pizzas to baked subs, wings, salads and much more, Sumter’s newest pizzeria offers a diverse menu. Its specialty, said Mike Williams, vice president of operations for the franchise, is its pizza, which can be made with five different crust styles and more than 15 choices in toppings. Williams said the pizzas are all handmade fresh in the restaurant, using a large mixer to make fresh dough daily. “Ours is a pan crust, which is nice and crisp on the bottom and light and airy inside,” he said. The same dough is used to make their dessert, CinnaPOPS, a cinnamon-sugar-covered confection popular among guests, he said. The popularity of the Sumter restaurant caught Williams by surprise. “Sales have been more than I expected,” he said. Chalk it up to a great product and experienced owners, he added. “They know if we cook it, it’s

good,” said Bubba Rabon. “We wanted to create a first-class pizza and dining facility.” The Rabons have been restaurateurs in both Sumter and Myrtle Beach, having owned Todd’s Steakhouse in the 1980s and Cathy’s on Broad more recently. The two currently own and operate Sports & Wings, a restaurant located on the corner of Wise and Broad streets. Bubba Rabon said he became familiar with East of Chicago after visiting a restaurant in Myrtle Beach. He and his wife were looking to “diversify” and saw an opportunity for a Sumter location of the pizzeria. “Their product was the best, and we wanted the best,” he said. Cathy Rabon said the pieces just fell into place.

“It was the right place, the right time and the right product,” she said. “And they were the right people,” Williams chipped in. It also didn’t hurt, they said, that the food is a family favorite. “We like pizza, our kids like pizza, and our grandkids like pizza,” Bubba Rabon said. The dining room of the restaurant features family style seating and several flat-screen televisions. “We are trying to create a nice, comfortable family atmosphere,” said Williams. Williams and the Rabons admit that there have been a few hiccups since the restaurant opened but said they are working toward running the restaurant at optimum performance. “We are trying to make the guest experience faster,” said Cathy Rabon. The East of Chicago Pizza franchise originally started with a single store in Greenwich, Ohio, in 1991 and soon branched out into multiple stores, mostly in Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. Williams said the name came from a frequent customer who claimed the fare was “the best pizza east of Chicago.” The Rabons said they are looking to expand the franchise into the surrounding areas. “We want to go all the way to the coast,” said Bubba Rabon. The Rabons said they are also looking to offer delivery in the near future when the restaurant hits its stride.

MY COMMUNITY AND ME in 18th year Program benefits local 4th-graders BY IVY MOORE ivym@theitem.com

hey start with a song and some fun activities, but Sumter’s fourth-graders acquire some pretty important information about the Sumter area when Sumter Volunteers’ Jo Anne Morris brings a microcosm of the community to their schools. And she’s been doing that for 17 years. When this year’s program is completed, My Community and Me will have reached more than 20,000 young citizens. Launched in 1996 by Sumter Volunteers, the program targets all fourth-graders whose schools, public or private, choose to participate. That’s most of them, Morris said. She describes My Community and Me as “a unique hands-on learning experience about the community, its history, services and the roles of citizen volunteers. The benefits and responsibilities of citizenship in Sumter County have been taught through tours, lessons and demonstrations. (The students) have also encountered outstanding community role models who have provided a broad range of future career choices.” The program started out to provide an enriching summer experience to about 30 at-risk Lemira School Camp students. Adult role models and high school students accompanied the students on seven weekly field trips throughout the community. Successful at helping the students learn more about their community, the program was repeated the following year and eventually was incorporated into the

curriculum for 32 Willow Drive Elementary School students in Rosanne DuRant’s 4th-grade class. Sumter Volunteers received a start-up grant from the Central Carolina Community Foundation, and My Community and Me was officially started during the 1996-97 year, with a goal of serving 500 students. Thirteen more schools asked to be included, and the program has continued to serve fourth-graders ever since. My Community and Me begins at Willow Drive each year with the “Community Circle.” Morris enlists representatives from Sumter’s business, education, religious, government, community service, healthcare and military communities to take part in the one-day program called My Community Circle, which is a literal circle formed by around 20 volunteer role models, who in turn

talk to the students about their jobs and careers. The young people learn about Sumter’s history, government, services, resources and the role of citizen volunteers from the speakers. “They are outstanding role models, who provide a broad range of future career choices,” Morris said. While the participants inform the fourth-graders about their own fit in the broader community, the stu-

dents also learn how they can benefit their hometown, including opportunities available to them in order to do so. Different community representatives speak at several schools in the city and county at a specified time, and Morris presents each student with a notebook containing educational information and fun activities. Designed to accompany the Community Circle program, the note-

book is interactive, with thought-provoking questions and exercises. The book is amply illustrated with drawings of local landmarks by several Sumter area artists, including Ray Davenport, Sylvester Hickmon, Kim Schneider and others. “As you learn more about your surroundings, you should feel a deeper love, respect and commitment, resulting in good citizenship now and as you mature,” reads the book’s introduction. It continues, “The community volunteers involved in the program will be ‘big friends’ and role models and just might help you with long range plans and future career choices. “Get ready! Get set!! You’re ‘go’ing on a ‘different’ and exciting new adventure in learning!!! Enjoy!!!” Morris said that Sumter Volunteers is seeking donations to fund the ever-growing program. “This program ties community and school together in a real team effort,” she said. “It is a winning combination. My Community and Me is a high priority project of Sumter Volunteers.” Beginning on Sept. 5, volunteers will visit fourthgrade classes in 14 of Sumter’s public and private schools to explain how their roles and their organizations affect the greater community, including the fourthgraders themselves. Morris is still seeking volunteers to fill the community circles. Potential Community Circlers are asked to choose a date and time from the list and to call Sumter Volunteers at (803) 775-7423. Call the same number to find out about other volunteer opportunities.

In and Around the Town — It may seem from outside appearances that the work on the Agricultural building on Court House Square is progressing slowly, but as a matter of fact the work as a whole is going forward as rapidly as expected. The roof is on, and the inside work is being carried on without interruption. The brick veneer work is being done by the few WPA brick masons available, but those in charge state that the brick work will be completed as soon as the interior is finished

and ready for occupancy. The trustees of Consolidated High School District No. 34 will meet at the Girls High School tomorrow morning at 11 o’clock to receive bids on furniture and fixtures for the new high school building. The estimated cost of the furniture, etc., is $25,000. More than 600 new trees have been planted in street parkways and parks during the past few weeks under the supervision of Mrs. Julia Dillon, supervisor of parks. On Victory Drive east of North Main, in front of Polly Prentiss plant, 300 pines were planted in four rows: 336 oaks and pines were planted on Mood Avenue and Carolina Drive and 75 pines in Memorial Park. Longleaf pine and willow oaks were the varieties used. The main building on the Sumter County Fairgrounds is being en-

larged and re-roofed and another building for exhibits is being constructed between the main building and livestock barns. Tree surgeons have been working for days on the big oak on the 100 block of North Washington Street. The tree is one the largest remaining in Sumter and is worth saving at a great price. Some of the indefatigable fishermen already have their eyes on the First Mill annex to Swan Lake, when completed and beautified. They admit that it will be primarily a place of beauty to delight the souls of the artistic and esthetic, but still be a swell resort for black bass and bream anglers. The old mill pond was always one of the best places for trout and bream near Sumter, and the beautification will not decrease the fish population.

A Chapel Hill, N.C., news item announced the death Friday night of Professor A.C. McIntosh, Kenan professor emeritus of the University of North Carolina Law School. McIntosh will be remembered by some of the older citizens as a resident of Sumter in 1886-88, at which time he conducted the Sumter Boys High School in association with Mr. L.W. Dick. After leaving Sumter he taught school in North Carolina, his native state, was admitted to the bar, was elected judge and then for many years was a member of the law faculty of the UNC, serving as Kenan law professor and dean of the law school.

Staying active a ‘gem’ for Sumter woman BY LINDA PEKURI SCAL Executive Director

“I

make myself walk,” says Sumter resident Ruby Frink, who five months ago decided to finally take her doctor’s advice seriously. Her doctor had been telling her for two years to lose weight and lower her cholesterol level, but she had not been making any FRINK changes to get healthier. Then, along came the Sumter County On The Move! (SCOTM!) walking program sponsored by Sumter County Active Lifestyles and the University of South Carolina Prevention Research Center. Ruby said, “When I saw the flier about SCOTM!, I decided it was my ticket to getting healthier.” Walking is an effective way to lose weight and lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Ruby joined SCOTM! this

past April. During her enrollment appointment, she was weighed, had her waist measured and was given a pedometer that tracks the number of steps she walks. The program staff encouraged her to walk 10,000 steps a day or 150 minutes per week. Determined to have the best health she could, she walked 10,000 steps a day (70,000 a week) during her first month in SCOTM! Ruby kept increasing her weekly steps month by month. During the second month, she racked up 100,000 steps a week and 130,000 weekly steps in month three. Now in her fifth month in the program, she is walking 160,000 steps per week! In fact, Ruby logged so many steps on her first SCOTM! pedometer that she had to get a replacement recently. How is she able to do this? What is her secret?

Ruby will tell you, “The pedometer is what pushes me. Anywhere I go, I have it on — from the time I wake up in the morning to the time I go to bed at night. I walk two hours every morning and two hours every evening. When I cannot walk outside, I walk on my treadmill.” Look around, and you might see Ruby walking every level of the Tuomey parking lot and in the hospital hallways if she is there visiting a patient. You might literally run into her while she is walking around and around inside Walmart, pushing a cart (“Buyer beware!”). Sumter Mall is another frequent walking location for her. And, she often leaves her car at home or in a parking lot and walks a few miles to run some errands. All of this walking, along with some simple dietary changes (monitoring fat and sugar intake, giving up sodas

and drinking one gallon of water a day) during Ruby’s first five months of SCOTM! has made a tremendous impact on her weight and cholesterol level. Last year, her cholesterol level was elevated 20 points in spite of taking 40 milligrams of cholesterol medication each day. At a recent medical appointment, Ruby’s doctor was extremely pleased that her cholesterol has dropped 20 points, her blood work is excellent, and she is within 11 pounds of her goal weight. Her doctor’s advice is for Ruby to continue whatever health routine she is using. Better health through physical activity is the gem Ruby has discovered by participating in the SCOTM! walking program. Although the program is no longer enrolling new participants, anyone is welcome to the information found on the program’s website, www.SumterCountyMoves.org. Through the SCOTM! program, the University of South Carolina Prevention Research Center

and Sumter County Active Lifestyles are researching to discover if and how walking groups motivate and support group members to be more physically active and healthier. Congratulations to our newest SCOTM! Honor Roll Member, James Bennett, who recently completed his 12 months in the program and has made walking a regular lifestyle habit. These SCOTM! members recently finished their first six months in the program: Debbie Gillis and Gerald Jennings. Sumter County Active Lifestyles (SCAL) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote health and quality of life in Sumter County by advocating for a community environment that supports physically active lifestyles for all citizens.

The time repaying her, but I came and I wrote can’t get over her her a check for surprising request. Abigail the full amount, Do you have any VAN BUREN but she didn’t words of wisdom cash it. She said to help me make she didn’t need the sense of this? money and the loan was UNSETTLED SIBLING forgiven. Fast-forward 20 years: DEAR UNSETTLED — Your sister may have While Olivia has re-

forgiven the loan all those years ago because she thought repaying her would have caused you financial stress. Now that she knows you’re well able to give her the money, she would like to have it. You and I don’t know why she’s asking for it, but trust me, there is ALWAYS a reason. DEAR ABBY — I have been talking to “Ricky” for about two months. I’m 28 and he is 27. A couple of weeks ago we decided to date exclusively. This morning, Ricky found out that his ex is three

months’ pregnant with his child. I knew he was last intimate with her three months ago, but we were both kind of shocked. I don’t have kids and I prefer not to date men who do, let alone one who has a baby on the way. However, I do care about Ricky and could definitely see us together. After this bombshell, I’m not sure what I want to do. Any advice would be appreciated. THROWN FOR A LOOP DEAR THROWN FOR

A LOOP — After this bombshell, the person who has some serious decisions to make is Ricky. Will this cause him to reunite with his ex-girlfriend? Is the baby really his child? If so, what will be his responsibility financially and morally? If he stays with you, do you WANT to help raise another woman’s child? Until you have a better idea of what lies ahead, my advice is to do nothing. You have known Ricky for only two months, and while you could see a future for the two of you, can you also

see one that includes the three — or FOUR — of you? I’m including the ex in the equation, because she’ll be a part of it. Forever.

THE ITEM

1886 characterized by success, disaster Part III of our review of the life and events of 1886 Sumter focuses on individuals, institutions and natural disasters that played an important role in the development of the Sumter community. Information for this article was obtained from the Watchman and Southron newspaper, “History of Sumter County,” by Anne King Gregorie and “South Carolina: A History,” by Dr. Walter Edgar.

reflections

The National Bank of Sumter — “The organization of the National Bank of Sumter, which was effected in November 1883, was not altogether an easy matter. ... W.D. Blanding, Esq. set the ball in motion, and T.J. Tuomey took it up and did much in enlisting interest that finally resulted in success. The bank opened on Jan. 1, 1884, next to the old courthouse on Main Street. “Mr. R.M. Wallace, a Charleston native, was successful in generating local interest in the Sammy enterprise, and WAY by January of 1884 the bank was firmly established in the community. Robert M. Wallace was elected president, H. Harby, vice president, and Charles E. Bartlett, cashier. “The Board is made up of professional and business men, all of whom are well known as being thoroughly identified with the material welfare of the town and county, and it is a working board, holding regular meetings every Thursday.” The bank was forced to close in 1887. William Bogin — Bogin was one of the oldest merchants residing in Sumter. He established his business here about 40 years ago, and except for a short stint in the military, he remained at the helm of his store. He chose not to engage in any partnerships and continued to manage his personal affairs. Bogin was a native of County Wexford, Ireland. “He was one of the first merchants to establish the lien system in Sumter, and fully two-thirds of his business was conducted using that plan. Bogin annually buys from 600 to 800 bales of cotton and sells something over 200 tons of fertilizer while his general merchandise trade is in proportion. Some years ago he built a very fine store which he occupied four years when it was burned. He immediately rebuilt and the present building is an excellent one being about 140 feet deep. One hundred and ten feet constitutes the general salesroom; the remaining 30 feet is for heavy groceries.” Due to health issues he was assisted by his daughter, Mrs. J.C. McGuinnis who, in turn, was aided by Charles Kingman, who worked for

Bogin for three years. Mrs. McGuinnis served as the bookkeeper for the business since she left school. The Brunson House — Mrs. Brunson had one of the best boarding houses in the Sumter community. “The hungry mouths she has fed are legion, and many a hungry traveler is ready to rise up and call her blessed.” She began the business in 1874 after the death of her husband, a loss which required her to find a means to live. Her business met with success and required her to add a number of rooms to her house. W.M. Graham — Wherever horse flesh was needed and stockmen were in demand, people turned their attention to W.M. Graham. He was a natural horseman and decided to open a stable business with P.H. Ellis in 1870. His stables were located near the corner of Main and Dugan Streets. In 1874 he opened a place of operations on Republican (Hampton) Street with his stables extending to his office located in front of Court House Square. He was noted for personally going to the West to purchase his stock. He normally bought and handled one to two hundred head of horses and mules each year. His stables were patronized by lovers of fancy and trotting stock; he also owned and sold some of the fastest horses in this section of the state. Graham did an extensive business in vehicles of all kinds, selling about two hundred each year in Sumter and surrounding communities. He proved to be a popular businessman who possessed a broad knowledge of men and horses. This personal approach made Graham’s stables one of the most popular establishments in Sumter. The earthquake of 1886 — On 25 August, 1885, a category 3 hurricane with 125 mph winds and a tidal surge struck the city of Charleston. The storm damaged or destroyed 90 percent of the homes in the city and killed 21. According to “South Carolina: A History” by Walter Edgar, property losses were set at $2 million. The quake was the most memorable natural event to occur in the state to date. Shortly before 10 o’clock on Aug. 31, 1886, the city of Charleston was rocked with the roaring sound of an

There were several boarding homes in operation in the Sumter community during the late 1800s.

earthquake (6.6 on the Richter scale) which lasted for about two minutes. This quake was followed by a series of much less severe aftershocks which lasted for days. The initial shock emptied many homes and caused a massive amount of damage. “On Beaufain Street the covers were torn from the wells and sent flying in the air. Then came a huge column of water and mud, which was sent up to a height of 15 or 20 feet. ... After the initial shock the surface of the streets in the vicinity of these wells was covered by a yellowish clay deposit which may have come from the bottom of the wells or from a lower stratum of the earth.” The death toll rose to 93. Many deaths were caused by disease directly related to the damage caused by the quake. “The city appraiser, who has gone over the whole city and is familiar with the value of property, estimates that it will take at least $5,000,000 to put Charleston in as good a position which existed prior to the disaster. …” Sumter responds to quake disaster — A mass meeting of citizens called by Col. J.H. Earle was held at the Music Hall with Maj.

Moise being named chairman of the relief effort. The decision was made to provide as much aid to Charleston as possible. Col. J.D. Blanding gave an account of the pressing needs of the citizens leading to the passage of the following resolutions: “Whereas, Charleston, the metropolis of the State, the city of noble deeds and great calamities, has again been smitten by Him who controls the passions of men rules the cyclone and orders the earthquake, it should be felt to be a privilege, as it is the duty of every citizen of the State to come to her aid, each according to his ability; therefore, resolved: 1. That such relief to be general and sufficient can best be made by private organized bodies, municipal corporations and the General Assembly of the State. 2. That the people of the State will expect the Legislature to devise such measures of relief as will help the people of Charleston to rebuild their fallen walls and restore their desolate homes, and we call upon our Senator and Representatives to see that such action is taken. 3. That to aid in relieving the present pressing want of the people of Charleston, we, The citizens of Sumter, in mass meeting assembled,

urgently request our Town Council to send to the City Council of Charleston $1,000 as soon as they can effect financial arrangements to do so, and we pledge ourselves to sustain the Council in any action it may take necessary to carry out the purpose of this resolution. 4. That the committee of citizens appointed by the Council to receive private donations be continued so that individuals or private corporations in the town or county may have their donations safely forwarded for the particular persons or purposes they may indicate. The earthquake was felt as far north as Wisconsin. According to Anne King Gregorie’s text “History of Sumter County” there was ‘little harm in Sumter County, except to cause great alarm. At Privateer, chimneys were badly cracked and tops of several fell. In Sumter, several chimneys were demolished. At Stateburg, thirteen shocks were reported, but little or no damage.’” Many stories still exist giving examples of “odd happenings” occurring during this historic earthquake.

Even a blind hunter finds ....

afield & afloat

y lovely bride, Sherri, and I had just gotten back from our annual anniversary trip to the mountains, basically a long weekend filled with beautiful mountain views and gorgeous sunsets. The weather was wonderful with highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s, with clear, bright, blue skies. It was a great way to celebrate 33 years. I still needed to write an article though. A deadline is a deadline and not to be missed. I rushed home from work the day after our trip, gathered up all the be- Earle WOODWARD longings needed for a hunt and headed off to the piece of property that we lease in southern Sumter County/northern Clarendon County. I really dreaded sitting in a cloud of mosquitoes, but you’ve got to do what you got to do. I pulled the truck into the parking area of the club, and out of the blue, it hit me, I had left the mosquito chasing Therma-CELL on the counter in the kitchen! OK, it was an incredibly stupid thing to do, but I could not sit in the blind without it. I drove home to pick it up. It dawned on me as I drove home that it would be almost impossible to retrieve the ThermaCELL and get back to the property before it was too late to hunt, so what were my options? Well, I called Sherri to see if she would meet me halfway with the Therma-CELL, but she was in WalMart and therefore not available. That option was out. I could just not hunt at all and try on Thursday, but that would really push the deadline, which I hate doing, or I could go to a small tract that Jack and I have leased in another part of the county. Fortunately, the small tract is only about 10

minutes from the house. I usually don’t hunt the small tract until mid October. It’s a beautiful little piece with mostly pines of differing ages, interspersed with white and red oaks. The deer come out of a swampy area in the evenings and meander through the woods looking for something to eat. There is almost no agriculture anywhere around the property, so hitting a soybean field is not an option for them. My stand is in a cluster of trees that overlooks a major travel corridor. I have taken a couple of decent bucks from the property over the last two years, but mostly while they are pushing does. I had no idea what to expect during the last week of August. I had been in the stand for about 45 minutes when I heard the footsteps coming through the leaves from the swamp, I saw legs shortly after that. When the deer’s head went down, I saw antlers, but something was odd about them. As the deer cleared the trees into one of my shooting lanes, I understood what it was. The deer had one antler on the right side whose main beam was about 14 inches long and had a fork on the end. It had plenty of mass, almost too thick, and it had two brow tines, but no left beam at all. Behind that deer were two more deer. After deer hunting for almost 40 years, I know that this time of year, bucks will run in bachelor groups, so the likelihood of his buddies being bucks was pretty good. When they cleared the trees into the lane, my jaw dropped. Buck No. 2 was an 8-point buck with really long tines and good brow tines. The antler spread was just outside the ears and the deer looked like he weighed in at around 175-190 pounds. Now I’ve grown really, really tired of the

term “mature deer” that is so often used on TV; I mean they just wear it out, so I will not be using that term. Instead I’ll just say this deer was old and “grown”. Deer No. 3 never really came to the lane, but held back and browsed behind stuff I couldn’t see through. I did see plenty of antlers though and could tell he was at least 7 points, with plenty of antler size. I wanted buck No. 2! They milled around at 20-25 yards for the longest time with the 1-horned deer always in front of the big ‘un, which never offered me anything but a shot quartering in toward me, which is not a good shot. All of a sudden, buck No. 2 and buck No. 3 trotted off down the trail leaving One Horn behind. Ten minutes later a doe crossed behind One Horn and the two big bucks were behind her. Just as Mr. Big got into position, a fawn, complete with spots, walked right under my stand, caught a whiff of something it didn’t like and bolted about three steps and stopped. This put all of the other deer on alert and One Horn found me in the tree. What followed was a 10-minute staredown. At last, One Horn moved away and the big one looked like he was going to offer a shot. I moved my back leg about a half an inch and all the deer busted out like a covey of quail. They ran about 30 yards, stopped and then walked on off. I got down and came home. Shot or not, it was a great hunt and I now know what I’m hunting on that property. What started out as sort of a busted hunt turned out pretty doggone good! I’ll be back in that stand after a brief cooling off period. I suppose that by the time the rut starts the big ‘un will be wide open! Can’t wait!

FISHING REPORT Santee Cooper System Largemouth bass: Slow. Bass fishing is very tough on Santee Cooper, and typically August and September are the slowest months of the year. Very little bass fishing is going on in the lakes and most clubs are fishing the Cooper River right now. Lake Wateree Crappie: Good. Fish are scattered around the lake with all of the intake of fresh water. Fish aren’t sticking tight to brush, probably because of lower water temperatures. Tightlining or longlining is your best bet. Lake Murray Striped bass: Good. Lots of schooling activity reported from mid-lake on down, but the fish aren’t as deep as they have been recently. Nearer to the surface down to about 60 feet. Most fish are being caught on downlined live herring but cut bait will also catch fish. Largemouth Bass: Fair to good. Find schools of stripers and you find largemouth mixed in. Throwing buzz baits and topwater lures to start. Crappie: Good. Check the deeper brush piles at 20-25 feet over 35 feet of water. Fish aren’t taking jigs and they are scattered around the lake. Lake Greenwood Largemouth Bass: Slow. The bite is tough, but some results early with popper around seawalls and some action with worms. It’s hard to catch anything of size. Lake Monticello Catfish: Good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that he is catching fish in the range of 5-40 feet right now, but in the next couple of weeks deep humps with current flowing over them should be ideal spots to locate big, aggressive fish. There have been fish deep for some time, but they have not been feeding as well as the shallower fish. For now the backs of coves and humps and points have been most productive, and drifting or anchoring have both been working. Big cut gizzard shad and white perch are working for big fish, and if you want to put any size fish in the boat small cut herring is tough to beat. Lake Russell Striped bass: Fair. As is typical in late August and September; striped bass can be caught on both ends of the lake. Be sure to use circle hooks to make releasing fish easier as many of these striped bass are small. Fish can be caught free lining live herring and gizzard shad over 15-30 feet of water in the cooler water. Lake Thurmond Crappie: Good. Best bet is 20 feet over 25-30 feet of water along the river channel. Target crappie by anchoring and dropping minnows vertically. Striper: Fair. Fish are on the lower end of the lake at 50-60 feet off points with hybrids about 10 feet above them. Fishing live herring on down lines has been the predominant technique. Lake Wylie Largemouth Bass: Slow. Fluctuating water levels have made it tough to determine any pattern although some results reported in the shallows. Try prop baits, swimbaits and weightless Senkos. Lake Jocassee Trout: Good. For quality fish the catch rate has overall been pretty good. Trolling in the big water 60-100 feet down with spoons and live shiners has been most effective. The intakes are still producing some fish off and on, but night fishing has slowed. Night fishermen should try suspending nightcrawlers and shiners 25 to 40 feet down near the intakes. Lake Keowee Largemouth and Spotted Bass: Slow. The catch hasn’t been much to speak of lately, but some results on topwater early. Bream: Fair. In the backs of creeks, coves and around waterfalls bream are being caught in good numbers. Fish crickets, worms or small artificials like inline spinners. Lake Hartwell: Striped and Hybrid Bass: Good. Fish are very deep at 50 to 100 feet and some days may be on the bottom. Try down lined live herring. Catfish: Good. Flatheads especially are biting at 5 to 25 feet at night. Try cut herring. Crappie: Improving. During the day the best bet is fishing around deeper parts of the bridges in 20-25 feet of water, or around brush at the same depth. Largemouth: Slow. It’s a tough bite on the lake and hard to catch anything good. Some results on topwater with Texas rigs, but no real pattern on the lake.

Fall bringsOld family themed Everything Is New Again comedies in abundance By Candace Havens © 2013 FYI Television, Inc. A year ago I could have never imagined "The Neighbors" (Friday at 8:31 p.m.) would still be airing on ABC. As much as I was charmed by the show, I didn't think it would last. I was wrong. Viewers seemed to like its sweetness and fish-out-of-water elements. It might be one of the most surprising wins of last season. ABC has so much faith in this comedy about aliens living among us that it's pairing it with Tim Allen's "Last Man Standing" and moving both shows to Friday to launch a new comedy night for the network. When viewers tune in this fall, they're going to see a variety of comedies, but there are more familythemed comedies than ever. "The Neighbors," "Modern Family" and "The Middle" have worked so well that ABC is sticking with what they know. "The Goldbergs," debuting Tuesday, Sept. 24, at 9 p.m., is a family comedy starring Jeff Garlin, George Segal, Wendi McLendonCovey, Sean Giambrone, Troy Gentile and Hayley Orrantia, and narrated by Patton Oswalt. It's set in the 1980s and follows geeky 11-year-old Adam (Sean Giambrone) as he films his family and their ups and downs. It's based on executive producer Adam F. Goldberg's real life. "I basically wrote this show because I wanted to torture my older brother," jokes Goldberg. He amalgamated some of the characters and created an older sister. "My oldest brother Eric turned into Erica (Haley Orrantia) - he's like a girl anyway. So, it's a perfect match." At the end of each episode, viewers will see real-life footage from Goldberg's

childhood, and he doesn't stray far from the truth of what he filmed so many years ago. ABC's "Trophy Wife" is about blended families and is based on cocreator and executive producer Sarah Haskins' real life. Kate (Malin Akerman) marries Pete (Bradley Whitford), who comes with a great deal of baggage in the form of two ex-wives and three children. "Let's say it's an exaggeration of some real-life experiences," says Haskins, who co-created the series with Emily Halpern, "but we do pull a lot of the stories from our lives. I think it is family situations that people can really relate to." Prolific producer Chuck Lorre, who heads "Two and a Half Men," "The Big Bang Theory" and "Mike & Molly," has a new CBS family comedy, "Mom" (premiering Monday, Sept. 23, at 9:30 p.m.), about a single mother, Christy (Anna Faris), who is trying her best to raise her two children on a waitress's wages. Newly clean and sober, Christy must also deal with her mother, Bonnie (Allison Janney), coming back into her life. Her mom wasn't always there for her, because she was dealing with her own drug and alcohol addictions. It's a different take on the family comedy but certainly no less relevant. "We both have that motherdaughter relationship with our real mothers," says Janney. "And it's one of those relationships that everyone can relate to - everyone's going to have a relationship with their mother. So, that's how we bring our own relationships with our mothers to this. We find the characters, and they're coming up with a back story for us. We certainly had a very color-

ful past. We all have families, and we know they can come in different forms. I think that may be one of the reasons these family shows work." In the vein of doing family comedies a little differently, "The Millers" (Thursday, Oct. 3, at 8:30 p.m. on CBS), stars Will Arnett, Margo Martindale, Beau Bridges, Jayma Mays and J.B. Smoove, and is about what happens when one of your divorced parents move in with you. While it's set in the workplace, the new Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar comedy, "The Crazy Ones" (Thursday, Sept. 26, at 9:00 p.m. on CBS) is really about the relationship between a father and a daughter. Simon (Williams) and his daughter Sydney (Gellar) are business partners who own an advertising agency. "Some people call it a workplace comedy, but that's only partly true," says executive producer Jason Winer. "In this case, it's a show about a father and daughter that are reconnecting." NBC has two family comedies including "Welcome to the Family," starring Mike O'Malley, Mary McCormack, Ricardo A. Chavira and Justina Machado, and concerning what happens when families merge because of teen pregnancy. (It doesn't sound funny, but it is.) Then there's "The Michael J. Fox" show, starring Fox as a news anchorman who returns to the job after gaining control of his Parkinson's disease. Betsy Brandt co-stars as his wife, and Wendell Pierce plays his boss in a blending of workplace and family comedy. So, as you can see, there will be no shortage of family comedies on the air. For whatever reasons, they are here to stay.
