Rapper found not guilty of video threats BY ROBERT J. BAKER bbaker@theitem.com MANNING — A Clarendon County jury took a little more than five hours over two days to find a 26-year-old Manning man not guilty Thursday of threatening the life of two 3rd Judicial Circuit Court judges. Keith Allen Norman Gadson, of 216

Peterson Lane in Manning, will remain at the Clarendon County Detention Center, however, to await trial for unrelated charges of armed robbery and second-degree assault by GADSON mob. The Clarendon County Sheriff’s Office arrested Gadson on Jan. 15 on all his charges after dis-

covering a rap video uploaded to YouTube in which Gadson and Rodregiz Antwan Cole, 29, mention 3rd Circuit Drug Court Judge Amy Land and Circuit Court Judge R. COLE Ferrell Cothran in what deputies thought to be a threatening manner.

THE FAIR RETURNS TO SUMTER NEXT WEEK

Unrelated to the video, Gadson received charges for his suspected role in the ambush and beating with metal knuckles of a man in the parking lot of a Manning restaurant, according to Clarendon County Sheriff Randy Garrett. Twelfth Circuit Court Judge Michael G. Nettles ordered Gadson to receive a SEE RAP VIDEO, PAGE A10

BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com If you had $79 million to spend on improving your community, where would you like it to go? In the coming months, Sumter County may be asking you that question. County council is seeking input from the public as it formulates a new list of projects to fund with a renewed penny sales tax. Suggestions from selected members of the public will be narrowed down to a list of feasible projects, then presented to voters for approval at the 2014 election. Members of council’s ad hoc committee on the penny tax held their first meeting Wednesday to discuss how to identify stakeholders in the process of drawing up that list and how to get them involved moving forward. “The last time, when the lead groups were formed, we went

around to several small groups to get them involved,� said County Administrator Gary Mixon. Councilman Charles Edens, who chaired a similar committee in advance of the 2008 referendum on Penny for Progress, identified the key groups they reached out to during that effort. In addition to working groups from the county and the city, Edens sought input from the Economic Development Board, the Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce, Shaw Air Force Base, law enforcement agencies and schools, as well as two at-large groups, one for county residents in general and another specifically for rural residents. “We tried to get eight people in each group, so that adds up to a total of 64 people,� Edens said.

Land use ordinance could be changed Officials hope to clarify landscaping, parking lot standards to bring visions of Sumter to life BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com How Sumter County looks as you drive along the county’s main highways is a concern to several people, al-

Swedish company buys Kaydon Kaydon Corp., the industrial manufacturer with two plants in the Sumter area, has been purchased by Swedish manufacturer SKF for $1.25 billion. The $35.50 per-share purchase of the Ann Arbor-based company comes as SKF looks to expand into the North American market. About 62 percent of Kaydon’s sales are in North America. It is not known what impact, if any, the sale will have on the local plants at this time. Last year, Kaydon announced it was closing one of its Sumter plants. An estimated 50 people currently work at the remaining two facilities geared toward the wind-energy industry.

Tell a police officer ‘thanks’ Saturday BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem If you see a police officer out on patrol Saturday, be sure to say “thanks.” Law enforcement agents may not be expecting it, but Saturday is the second annual National Tell a Police Officer “Thank You” Day. The idea got started last year as an online word-ofmouth campaign, encouraging people to show their appreciation for the officers

working to protect the community. A web-based group of law enforcement supporters called the Whole Truth Project promotes the idea nationwide, but police wives are some of the main proponents of the concept at the community level. “We’re just encouraging churches, businesses and families to do something to show their support,” said Emily Logan, director of the S.C. Wives Behind the

Badge auxiliary, whose husband is a former Sumter police officer. “I know a lot of the wives will take baked goods to the guys at the station that day.” Tonya Plute, also the wife of a Sumter police officer, has tried to organize recognition of the event locally. Many Sumter businesses already offer discounts for law enforcement, but Plute hopes as Thank You Day gains more attention, retailers will work to

give it more recognition. “I just want them to be thanked for what they do,” she said. “They give a lot to their job, and some of them give their lives, so it’s nice to show them some appreciation.” Ordinary members of the community are also encouraged to show their appreciation to law enforcement if they have a chance. “You don’t have to spend a lot of money on it,” Logan said. “Just do something.”

Man jailed on child porn charges A Sumter man is behind bars after investigators said he distributed child pornography on an online file-sharing network. Tremayne Quentez Fritz, 28, of 80 Somerset Drive, was arrested Wednesday and charged with three counts of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor. On July 9, an detective with the Sumter County Sheriff ’s Office who was investigating an FRITZ online file-sharing network reportedly received three video files depicting “young children engaged in sexual activities.” Fritz was identified as a suspect and was taken into custody Wednesday after a search of his home. He is accused of “distributing, transporting (or) exhibiting” the pornographic material. It’s unclear if the suspect might have had any role in the production of the material.

JACQUELINE OLMERT ✦ 1920 — 2013

Educator remembered for serving handicapped children BISHOPVILLE — A longtime Lee County educator and a pioneer in the education of handicapped children in South Carolina has passed away. Jacqueline Olmert, 93, died Wednesday morning at Woodlands at Furman in Greenville. Olmert worked in Lee County schools for 30 years and was one of the first teachers in the state to receive training in special education in the early 1960s. She taught special education in Lee County School District and served as the district’s director of special education for 12 years. Olmert served on numerous state task forces and boards and was recognized by the South Carolina Council for Exceptional Children and the South Carolina Department of Education for her efforts in serving children with disabilities. Olmert was in the forefront in training special education teachers in South Carolina. Dr. John C. Richardson, a former professor of special

education at Coker College and Clemson University, said Olmert was a true pioneer. “She was the first and the best,” Richardson said. “She was one of the greatest ladies in the world, Joe (husband) and Jac (Olmert) were special people. They would take me into their home and feed me.” Richardson served as the school district’s consulting OLMERT school psychologist for many years. Retired educator Kathy Jackson said Olmert hired her to teach special education in 1974. “Mrs. Olmert had a passion for children with disabilities,” Jackson said. “And I don’t know where that came from. I just know that she did not feel like the children were getting what they needed and deserved. She looked at everybody as equals.” Jackson said Olmert also was a “true Southern lady.”

“She was kind,” Jackson said. “She was gentle. You could always count on her to tell you the truth. And as a boss, she had your back, too. And as a person, she was someone I respected very much. I always looked up to her and wanted to be just like her.” Retired educator Judith Watkins, a niece, said her aunt was a special person. “She had the most dignified and stately carriage and optimistic outlook,” Watkins said. “She had something good to say about everything and everyone. She always looked for and found the bright side of life. She was full of wit, and her laughter was musical. But as she put it, she could not sing a lick.” Olmert was a skilled and passionate teacher, Watkins said. “She loved her students,” she said. “She nurtured them, and she validated their worth. Before there was political correctness, she taught children how to pray, honor and respect

themselves, others, the flag and their country.” Ruby Gibbs-Williams, who is responsible for establishing services for adults with disabilities and special needs in Lee County, taught special education in the schools for three years. “Mrs. Olmert was my supervisor,” Gibbs-Williams said. “Mrs. Olmert was one of my mentors, you could say. I will remember Mrs. Olmert as a kind-hearted, Christian woman who genuinely cared about the people of Lee County. She cared about people with disabilities and special needs. She cared about children.” Olmert served on the Lee County Comprehensive Community Services board of directors for several years. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday at Bishopville Presbyterian Church. Hancock-ElmoreHill Funeral Home of Bishopville is in charge of the arrangements. — Randy Burns

‘Women don’t have to be a certain size to be beautiful’

SHAGGIN’ AND WAGGIN’ DANCE

Photographer will make you a fashionista BY JADE ANDERSON janderson@theitem.com

Latonya Franklin wants women to feel good about themselves. “I serve women of all ages, shapes and sizes,� she said. “In fashion and modeling, there is this idea that you have to be way small. Women don’t have to be a certain size to be beautiful.� The U.S. Air Force retiree is owner and operator of MoodSwing Photography. While she started the business in 2007 offering the usual range of wedding photography, portraits, etc., beginning in 2010, she narrowed her focus to mostly fashion and glamour photography. “Specifically what I do FRANKLIN is a hybrid of fashion photography and portrait,� Franklin said. “With social media, women are always taking selfies, sharing their lives and sharing their fashions. I wanted to give them really good images to share.� She usually sees three to four clients a week. First, Franklin meets with the client to get a sense of her style and for the woman to get more familiar and comfortable with Franklin. Once a shoot is set up, the client goes to Franklin’s office for wardrobe, accessories, hair and makeup. She currently works with two makeup artists trained in cosmetology. The photographer and client then go to shoot on location. “I try to keep it local to keep costs in check,� Franklin said. “Savannah, Charleston and Myrtle Beach are options I’ve done, but Sumter has so much to offer. I’m definitely open to new locations, but the safety of my clients is top priority. I had a client want to shoot under the bridge on U.S. 378, and I had to say ‘no.’� She even has a portable changing room should the shoot lend itself to

I’ve studied angles for the most beautiful and flattering. I want them to come away with a product they can appreciate and one I’m proud to put out.� Women are happy when they get the images back, too. “They often say, ‘Wow. That looks like it could be on a magazine cover,’� Franklin said. Her packages start at $175 and go up to $300. “I wanted to keep it affordable for young people who may be working part time or asking their parents for money,� Franklin said. “I wanted a price point people would be willing to take a chance on.� Gift certificates are also available and have sold well in the past year. “I had men saying, ‘My girlfriend saw your pictures and loved them,’� Franklin said. “So I wanted to be able to say, ‘Give her a photo shoot.’ “Moms also often think if it isn’t for their kids or their husband, then they can’t spend the money, and it goes to the back burner. This way her husband, her sister or whomever can give her a gift certificate and say, ‘here is something for you.’ It’s an easy way for moms to do it and not feel guilty.� Reach Jade Anderson at (803) 774-1250.

Constitution Week event reminds citizens of document’s importance BY RANDY BURNS Special to The Item BISHOPVILLE — At 4 p.m. Tuesday, the two bells of Bethlehem United Methodist Church rang 113 times representing 226 gongs to mark the anniversary of the drafting of the U.S. Constitution. Sponsored by the Henry Durant chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, a special ceremony featuring members of the Lee Central High School JROTC and the choir was held outside the church before the ringing of the bells.

Frances Drayton, a DAR member and one of the organizers of the event, said the ceremony served as a kickoff to a weeklong observance of Constitution Week in Lee County public and private schools. “It was just glorious,� Drayton said. “I think this event touched about everybody that was there.

Dr. Mary Blanchard, chairwoman of the Lee County Arts Council Foundation, and Susan Thrasher, chairwoman of the Lee County Arts Council, unveiled a commemorative plaque at a donors reception Sunday at the Bishopville Opera House. The plaque recognizes the community donors who participated in the recently completed “Lights of the Bishopville Opera House� fundraising campaign. The initiative raised $18,000 to support day-to-day operations and long-term maintenance at the opera house.

RANDY BURNS / SPECIAL TO THE TEM

Bishopville Opera House lights to keep burning BY RANDY BURNS Special to The Item BISHOPVILLE — The lights of the Bishopville Opera House are beaming. So are the members of the Lee County Arts Council and the Lee County Arts Council Foundation after a joint fundraising campaign raised $18,000 to support the ongoing operations and long-term maintenance at the opera house. The “Lights of the Bishopville Opera House� fundraising campaign coincided with the 25th anniversary of the opera house. “One thing that makes the opera house unique, I think, is that volunteers keep the opera house running,� said Ann Cooper, a member of the foundation and the fundraising committee. The foundation is led by Dr. Mary Elizabeth Blanchard, and the council is led by Susan Thrasher. Jennifer Floyd,

the opera house manager, is a part-time paid employee and the only paid staff member. Floyd said the two organizations worked together to raise money for the opera house. “We will be able to keep the lights on at the opera house,� she said. “It’s not only going to help with day-to-day operations, but it will help us with long-term maintenance needs that we have.� Floyd said future maintenance needs include upgrading the lighting system, the facility’s plumbing and elevator. Cooper said the money will be divided between the arts council and the foundation. “Sixty percent of the money will go to the foundation, and the arts council will receive 40 percent,� said Cooper, who has been a member of the foundation for 10 years. “The foundation exists

to build the capital resources necessary to ensure the longevity of the opera house,� Cooper said, adding the foundation hopes to establish sufficient capital resources to generate enough interest to support some of the operational expenses and necessary ongoing repairs. The fundraising campaign was the first collaboration between the arts council and the foundation, she said. She singled out members Suzanne Smith, Susan Thrasher, Betty Manning Heriot and Robin Brunson for their work during the campaign, which began in November. Cooper said the committee was pleased with the $18,000 collected during the campaign. “Our goal was to raise between $15,000 to $20,000,� she said. “Our community was very, very generous. And FTC (Farmers Telephone Co.) led the way in corporate giving. We want to single

them out. We appreciate everyone that supported us — from individuals to businesses. We also reached out to people who had ties to the community but no longer live here.� FTC made a donation of $2,500 to become the campaign’s “Beacon for the Future,� Cooper said. “FTC has long been a community advocate for economic development and supporter of local projects,� she said. “Through this generous contribution to the Bishopville Opera House we will be able to accomplish many of the goals of this capital campaign. FTC is to be commended for their vision and support of local, rural communities.� A donors reception was held Sunday in honor of donors and their guests to announce the conclusion of the capital campaign and to unveil a commemorative plaque recognizing these donors.

Incidents involving suspicious creditcard activity at area gas stations are being investigated by the Sumter County Sheriff ’s Office and the Sumter Police Department. Gas station customers, during the past several months at locations in both the city and county, have been approached by individuals offering them the use of a credit card to purchase the gas in exchange for cash. Usually, the cash amount exchanged is less than the amount of gas purchased with the credit card. The details and amounts of the fraudulent transactions have not been determined, but law enforcement has initiated an investigation into these incidents. Investigators have not determined how many transactions like those being reported have been made. “It’s unfortunate that unsuspecting people are falling into this scam and assisting these individuals in carrying out this fraud,� Sumter County Sheriff Anthony Dennis said. “Both city and county law enforcement agencies are collaborating their investigation to identify the individuals behind these incidents.� Officers advise anyone who may be approached while purchasing gas or other items and offered the use of a credit card in exchange for cash to notify law enforcement immediately. “We want the public to be aware and use good judgment and not be lured into helping these people carry out these offenses,� Sumter Police Chief Russell Roark said. “The best defense against any scam is to remember that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.� Anyone who has information about these incidents is asked to contact the Sumter County Sheriff ’s Office at (803) 436-2000, the Sumter Police Department at (803) 436-2717 or Crime Stoppers at 1-888-CRIMESC.

Census: For many in U.S., no sign of economic rebound BY HOPE YEN The Associated Press

Median income remains flat Household income in the United States in 2012 declined slightly from 2011, according to census estimates.

WASHINGTON — Even as the economy shows signs of improvement and poverty levels off, new U.S. census data suggests the gains are halting and uneven. Depending on education, race, income and even marriage, not all segments of the population are seeing an economic turnaround. Poverty is on the rise in singlemother families. More people are falling into the lowest-income group. And after earlier signs of increased mobility, fewer people are moving as homeownership declined for a fifthstraight year. “We’re in a selective recovery,� said William H. Frey, a Brookings Institution demographer who analyzed the numbers. The annual U.S. survey of socioeconomic indicators covers all of last year, representing the third year of a postrecession rebound. The figures, released Thursday, also show a slightly faster pace of growth in the foreign-born popula-

tion, which increased to 40.8 million, or 13 percent of the U.S. Last year’s immigration increase of 440,000 people was a reversal of a 2011 dip in the influx, when many Mexicans already

in the U.S. opted to return home. Many of the newer immigrants are now higher-skilled workers from Asian countries such as China and India. The number of immigrants in the U.S. with less than a high school diploma, who make up the bulk of the total foreign-born population, fell slightly in 2012 to 10.8 million. Immigrants with bachelor’s degrees or higher rose by more than 4 percent to 9.8 million. In all, 21 states saw declines last year in their Hispanic foreign-born population, led by New Mexico, Illinois and Georgia. The number of Americans in poverty remained largely unchanged at a record 46.5 million. Single-mother families in poverty increased for the fourth straight year to 4.1 million, or 41.5 percent, coinciding with longerterm trends of declining marriage and out-of-wedlock births. Many of these mothers are low income with low education. The share of married-couple families in poverty remained unchanged at 2.1 million, or 8.7 percent. By race or ethnicity, a growing pro-

portion of poor children are Hispanic, a record 37 percent of the total. Whites make up 30 percent, blacks 26 percent. Nearly 2.2 million children were poor in California last year, the most of any state, but the child poverty rate was highest in Mississippi, where more than 1 in 3 children was poor. Nationwide, child poverty stood at 21.8 percent, unchanged from the previous year. “Stubbornly high child poverty rates in the wake of the Great Recession suggest we have not yet turned the corner three years after its official end,� said Marybeth Mattingly, director of research on vulnerable families at the University of New Hampshire’s Carsey Institute. The numbers also reflect widening economic inequality, an issue President Obama has pledged would be a top priority of his administration to address. Upward mobility in the U.S. has been hurt by a tight job market and the longer-term disappearance of mid-skill jobs because of globalization and automation.

House Republicans continue efforts to gut ‘Obamacare’ BY ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The White House promised a veto of a Republican effort to gut President Obama’s health care law that is part of a temporary funding bill in the House to prevent a partial government shutdown on Oct. 1. The official policy statement issued Thursday said the GOP attempt to block “Obamacare� “advances a narrow ideological agenda that threatens our econ-

omy and the interests of the middle class� and would deny “millions of hard-working, middleclass families the security of affordable health coverage.� The veto threat was expected and wasn’t going to stop House Republicans from pressing their effort to defund the health care law. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said the House will pass a bill today to keep the government running while gutting Obama’s health care law.

“The fight over here has been won. The fight over there (in the Senate) is just beginning,� Boehner said Thursday. “I expect my Senate colleagues to do everything they can to defund this law, just like the House is going to do.� Boehner also addressed the need for Congress to raise the government’s borrowing cap to avoid a first-ever U.S. default on its obligations. Boehner said,

“Let me be very clear. Republicans have no interest in defaulting on our debt — none.� While raising the possibility of a government closure, the latest GOP plan is actually aimed at avoiding one. GOP leaders are looking to shift the fight about health care to even more important legislation required to prevent the government from defaulting on its financial obligations.

VISIONS from Page A1 area businesses and subdivisions. “Those standards are not clear in the ordinance today,� McGregor told Sumter County Council’s land use committee on Wednesday, noting the ordinance requires “sufficient buffering� and “reasonable landscaping� without defining those terms, leaving planning staff in an awkward position when enforcing them. At the same time, McGregor knows property owners are leery of the county requiring a certain height for roadside shrubbery, so he wants the standards to be flexible. “The Planning Commission set to work on this with the expectation it would change,� he said. “So I’m open to you saying ‘George, this is too burdensome,’ or ‘this doesn’t make sense.’� Council members seem inclined to loosen some of the restrictions in the proposal but disagreed on how. When Councilman Charles Edens suggested requiring businesses to plant trees but not shrubbery around their property, Councilman Jimmy Byrd said he would prefer the opposite. “I would allow them not to do the trees, because the trees could actually block the view of the business,� Byrd said. “I suppose we could allow them to do one or the other.� The new standards would apply to areas of the county zoned “urban� or “suburban,� but not those zoned for agricultural conservation unless they lay along the

“gateway� corridors of U.S. 15, 521 or 76/378. The land use committee didn’t take any action on the proposal Wednesday, but it includes tighter appearance standards in several areas. Commercial streetscaping would require a minimum 10-foot buffer from the parking lot with three canopy trees and 25 shrubs per 100 feet. Residential subdivisions would be required to plant a number of trees or “foundation shrubs� at the entrance and either a berm or a 6-foot stone, brick or stucco wall along the roadway. Improving the appearance of parking lots is one of the main concerns of the ordinance. The changes would require a canopy tree every 50 feet and a landscape “island� within the parking lot every 15 spaces. Buffer yards would also be required between properties, with the size and the number of trees and shrubs required depending on whether the buffer separates residential, commercial or industrial property. The ordinance also sets standards to improve the appearance of stormwater retention ponds. Despite the new standards, McGregor wants to include a waiver process to encourage differences in the design process. “We’ve got to have a minimum standard, but we want to be flexible if somebody has a better idea that can accomplish the same thing.� Reach Bristow Marchant at (803) 774-1272.

House votes to cut $4B a year from food stamps program WASHINGTON (AP) — The House has voted to cut nearly $4 billion a year from food stamps, a 5 percent reduction to the nation’s main feeding program used by more than 1 in 7 Americans. The 217-210 vote was a win for conservatives after Democrats united in opposition and some GOP moderates said the cut was too high. Fifteen Republicans voted against the measure.

The bill’s savings would be achieved by allowing states to put broad new work requirements in place for many food stamp recipients and to test applicants for drugs. The bill also would end government waivers that have allowed able-bodied adults without dependents to receive food stamps indefinitely. House conservatives, led by Majority Leader

was doing its job. Finding a compromise — and the votes — to scale back the feeding program has been difficult. The conservatives have insisted on larger cuts, Democrats opposed any cuts, and some moderate Republicans from areas with high food stamp usage have been wary of efforts to slim the program. The White House has threatened to veto the bill.

Eric Cantor, R-Va., have said the almost $80 billion-a-year program has become bloated. More than 47 million Americans are now on food stamps, and the program’s cost more than doubled in the last five years as the economy struggled through the Great Recession. Democrats said the rise in the rolls during tough economic times showed the program

Obese cancer patients often undertreated BY MARILYNN MARCHIONE AP Chief Medical Writer Obese people are less likely to survive cancer, and one reason may be a surprising inequality: The overweight are undertreated. Doctors often short them on chemotherapy by not basing the dose on size, as they should. They use ideal weight or cap the dose out of fear about how much treatment an obese patient can bear. Yet research shows that bigger people handle chemo better than smaller people do. Even a little less chemo can mean worse odds of survival, and studies suggest that as many as 40 percent of obese cancer patients have been getting less than 85 percent of the right dose for their size. Now, the largest organization of doctors who treat cancer, the American Society of Clinical Oncology, aims to change that. The group has adopted guidelines urging full, weight-based doses for the obese.

Don’t call it supersizing; it’s right-sizing cancer care, said Dr. Gary Lyman, a Duke University oncologist who led the panel that wrote the advice. “There’s little doubt that some degree of undertreatment is contributing to the higher mortality and recurrence rates in obese patients,� he said. The Food and Drug Administration’s cancer drug chief, Dr. Richard Pazdur, agrees. “By minimizing the dose, or capping the dose, we have been undertreating patients,� he said. The dosing issue applies to all types of cancer treated with chemo — breast, colon, lung, ovarian and even blood diseases such as leukemia.

Communities must focus on fire safety, prevention BY JOHN T. BOWERS

John T. Bowers is chief of the Camden Fire Department. Contact him at (803) 425-6042 or jbowers@camdensc.org.

I

n 1923, at a small school house in Camden, S.C., known as the Cleveland School, more than 300 people gathered for a graduation night celebration and play. At 9 p.m., one of the oil lanterns fell onto the stage, and within minutes, the school was engulfed in flames. Seventy-seven people lost their lives that night. During the past 100 years, we have made great strides in implementing fire codes and regulations to protect our citizens, but we must remain diligent. According to the S.C. Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation, there have been 45 tragic fire fatalities in the state since the beginning of 2013. October is National Fire Safety Month and was established to commemorate the Great Chicago Fire in 1871 that killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures and burned more than 2,000 acres over a two-day period. We look to that national tragedy, as well as the tragedy that touched the lives of many South Carolina families in 1923, as a sobering reminder of the importance of fire safety and prevention measures. There are many things that you can do to ensure that you and your family won’t be another statistic. Camden’s Fire Department responds to more than 500 calls annually and recommends that its citizens remember and practice these safety tips: • Have a smoke detector on every level of your home. • Test your smoke detectors monthly. • Replace smoke detector batteries twice a year. • Replace smoke detectors that are 10 years old or older. • Develop a home escape plan and practice it, and have two ways out. • Teach children that matches and lighters are tools for adults, not toys for children. And, as always, have a plan to ensure your family has a safe escape. If you have children and want to make this a family activity, here are a few tips you can follow to make sure your family knows what actions to take if you are faced with

a house fire: • Make a map of your home. Mark a door and a window that can be used to get out of every room. · Choose a meeting place outside in front of your home. This is where everyone can meet once they’ve escaped. Draw a picture of your outside meeting place on your escape plan. • Write the emergency telephone number for the fire department on your escape plan. • Sound the smoke alarm, and practice your escape drill with everyone living in your home. • Keep your escape plan on the refrigerator, and practice the drill twice a year or whenever anyone in your home celebrates a birthday. If your family is all adults: • Walk through you home and identify two ways out of each room. • Choose a meeting place outside in front of your home. This is where everyone can meet once they’ve escaped. • Make sure everyone knows to call 911 if you have a fire emergency. • Practice your escape drill twice a year. I am proud to say that the Camden Fire Department offers many different programs in our community such free home safety inspections, smoke detector installation programs, child safety seat installations and a clown and puppet show performed for 1,5002,000 students during Fire Prevention Month. This year, we will also partner with many of our neighboring fire departments to sponsor the 17th Annual Fire Fest on Sept. 28, 2013. We will have our annual fire truck parade, Explorer’s Challenge as well as fun events for the entire family. During Fire Fest, we will also have the Battle of the Badges Blood Drive where local police officers and firefighters will be competing in a blood donation challenge to benefit the Red Cross. Firefighters do more than fight fires. They work within the community to prevent fires from ever starting. The City of Camden employees 25 firefighters and works with an additional 18 volunteer firefighters. We offer smoke detectors and smoke detector batteries free of charge to all Camden residents. To find out more about Fire Safety Month programs, Fire Fest and other activities in the City of Camden, please contact the Camden Fire Department at (803) 425-6040.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Many citizens want dog park in Sumter As a citizen of Sumter, I am in favor of the Sumter Dog Park idea. As a dog owner of two adorable dogs, I think they would enjoy the benefits of said park. As you know, there are many dog parks around South Carolina, the nearest being in Columbia. Having a choice to be able to take my dogs for unlimited exercise, fresh air and to interact with other dogs would be

conducive to allow them their freedom. I strongly support the efforts of S.P.O.T. (Sumter Pet Owners of Tail-Waggers) to make Sumter City Council aware that there are many citizens who want to see a dog park in Sumter VALERIA W. McDONALD Sumter

The real Washington Navy Yard scandal

W

ASHINGTON — In the liberal remake of “Casablanca,” the police captain comes upon the scene of the shooting and orders his men to “round up the usual weapons.” It’s always the weapon and never the shooter. Twelve people are murdered in a rampage at the Washington Navy Yard, and before sundown Sen. Dianne Feinstein has called for yet another debate on gun violence. Major opprobrium is heaped on the AR-15, the semiautomatic used in the Newtown massacre. Turns out no AR-15 was used at the Navy Yard. And the shotgun that was used was obtained legally in Virginia after the buyer, Aaron Alexis, had passed both a state and federal background check. As was the case in the Tucson shooting — instantly politicized into a gun-control and (fabricated) tea-party-climate-of-violence issue — the origin of this crime lies not in any politically expedient externality but in the nature of the shooter. On Aug. 7, that same Alexis had called police from a Newport, R.I., Marriott. He was hearing voices. Three people were following him, he told the cops. They were sending microwaves through walls, making his skin vibrate and preventing him from sleeping. He had already twice changed hotels to escape the men, the radiation, the voices. Delusions, paranoid ideation, auditory (and somatic) hallucinations: the classic symptoms of schizophrenia. So here is this panic-stricken soul, psychotic and in terrible distress. And what does modern policing do for him? The cops tell him to “stay away from the individuals that are following him.” Then they leave. But the three “individuals”

were imaginary, for God’s sake. This is how a civilized society deals with a man in such a state of terror? Had this happened 35 years ago in Boston, Alexis would have been brought to me as the psychiatrist on duty at the ER of the Massachusetts General Hospital. Were he as agitated and distressed as in the police report, I probably would have administered an immediate dose of Haldol, the most powerful fast-actCharles ing antipsychotic KRAUTHAMMER of the time. This would generally relieve the hallucinations and delusions, a blessing not only in itself, but also for the lucidity it brought on that would allow him to give us important diagnostic details — psychiatric history, family history, social history, medical history, etc. If I thought he could be sufficiently cared for by family or friends to receive regular oral medication, therapy and follow-up, I would have discharged him. Otherwise, I’d have admitted him. And if he refused, I’d have ordered a 14-day involuntary commitment. Sounds cruel? On the contrary. For many people living on park benches, commitment means a warm bed, shelter and three hot meals a day. For Alexis, it would have meant the beginning of a treatment regimen designed to bring him back to himself before discharging him to a world heretofore madly radioactive. That’s what a compassionate society does. It would no more abandon this man to fend for himself than it would a man suffering a stroke. And as a side effect, that compassion might even extend to potential victims

H.D. OSTEEN 1904-1987 The Item

of his psychosis — in the event, remote but real, that he might someday burst into some place of work and kill 12 innocent people. Instead, what happened? The Newport police sent their report to the local naval station, where it promptly disappeared into the ether. Alexis subsequently twice visited VA hospital ERs, but without any florid symptoms of psychosis and complaining only of sleeplessness, the diagnosis was missed. (He was given a sleep medication.) He fell back through the cracks. True, psychiatric care is underfunded and often scarce. But Alexis had full access to the VA system. The problem here was not fiscal but political and, yes, even moral. I know the civil libertarian arguments. I know that involuntary commitment is outright paternalism. But paternalism is essential for children because they don’t have a fully developed rational will. Do you think Alexis was in command of his will that night in Newport? We cannot, of course, be cavalier about commitment. We should have layers of review, albeit rapid. But it’s both cruel and reckless to turn loose people as lost and profoundly suffering as Alexis, even apart from any potential dangerousness. More than half of those you see sleeping on grates have suffered mental illness. It’s a national scandal. It’s time we recalibrated the pendulum that today allows the mentally ill to die with their rights on — and, rarely but unforgivably, take a dozen innocents with them.

America’s oldest book to go up for auction in November CLEVELAND (AP) — At a news conference Tuesday at the Cleveland Public Library, David Redden, Sotheby’s legendary, silver-tongued showman-auctioneer, seemed almost at a loss for words as he tenderly opened a small, leather-bound book of psalms that is not only 373 years old but will, he hopes, fetch as much as $30 million. It’s all to help an historic Boston church continue its mission and ministries. “This has to be the high point of any auctioneer’s career,� Mr. Redden said, looking at the browned pages packed with rows of large, wobbly print, “to touch and hold the ‘Bay Psalm Book,’ America’s first book.� The first book ever printed in North America in 1640 and one of only 11 copies still in existence, the “Bay Psalm Book� will go up for auction Nov. 26. The book is owned by the Old South Church in Boston, dedicated to serving the poor, the homeless, the mentally ill, drug and alcohol abusers and a sizable LGBT population — while struggling to make ends meet. Last year, after much debate, the church’s congregation voted to sell one of its two copies of the Psalter to

help stabilize its finances, even while retaining its primary copy of the “Bay Psalm Book� stored at the Boston Public Library. The Old South Church has been around for 340 years, and is a member of the United Church of Christ. Samuel Adams sang in its choir, and Benjamin Franklin was a member. Since 1875, the church has been located in an ornate Gothic-style building in Boston’s Back Bay. “Our building is in need of a lot of repairs,� said Senior Minister Nancy Taylor. “We are a vital, vibrant, multicultural, progressive organization,� she said, noting that the church, a national landmark, is an exceedingly expensive building to maintain, as it is “the only church in Boston free and open to the public all the time.� The last “Bay Psalm Book� was sold in 1947 to Yale University for $151,000, an unfathomable price at the time. It remains the most pristine copy, with its original binding intact, whereas the Old South Church’s version was rebound in leather in the 19th century. Regarding the European dealers he’s spoken to,

Bruce McKinney, an expert in Americana, says “None feel it’s worth more than $3 million since it is not the primo printed copy.� But, he added, “If they were going to get anyone who could sell this book for a decent amount of money, David Redden is the one. He is a Svengali, the greatest auction showman in the field in decades.� Moreover, all of the other “Bay Psalm Books� are in institutions, so this will likely be the last time one will be for sale, he added.

RAP VIDEO from Page A1 $50,000 surety bond if those charges remained outstanding after his trial for the alleged video threats, but 1st Circuit Judge Diane Goodstein revoked that order on Thursday citing safety concerns. Clarendon Assistant Public Defender King Cutter said he is pleased with his client’s acquittal, and that he will continue to work for a “reasonable bond” for Gadson. “Mr. Gadson maintained he was innocent from the moment I began representing him in February,” Cutter said. “The way the law was charged to the jury this week, his verdict for the threats could have gone either way, so I’m glad he got his day in court.” Nettles sentenced Cole to seven years in prison, suspended to four years in prison and two years’ probation after his trial in July. He was found guilty of one count of intimidation of a public official. Cole was also found not guilty of an additional charge of threatening the life of a public official. Land said despite those not guilty verdicts, she considers the video a real threat. “I still am very wary about his intentions and why he participated in that video,” she said. “I believe in our justice system, and I accept their verdict. But I really do

think that Keith Gadson had bad intentions when he made that video.” Both the men’s attorneys argued that the men were using the names of the only two judges they’ve known as a metaphor for a Taurus handgun, which is colloquially known as “The Judge.” Cole and Gadson appeared before Cothran on various drug charges, and Cole was one of the final defendants brought to Clarendon general sessions court by Land when she was a Clarendon County assistant solicitor. “In an effort to be clever, (Cole) found himself incarcerated,” Manning attorney Shaun Kent said. “Mr. Cole’s lyrics in no way were intended in the negative light in which they were cast.” Kent said Gadson’s verdict makes his appeal for Cole “interesting.” However, Cole may have hindered his own chances by testifying this week for Gadson against Kent’s legal advice. “I think he seriously hamstrung his own appeal with his testimony,” Kent said. Cutter was unsure when Gadson’s remaining charges will be adjudicated. Efforts to reach 3rd Circuit Assistant Solicitor Chris DuRant were unsuccessful Wednesday and Thursday. Reach Robert J. Baker at (803) 774-1211.

from each group coming.” Final say on the shape of the project list will be handed to a special sixmember commission, which county council will appoint next spring. According to state law, half the members would represent the county, and the other half would represent the county’s municipalities. Because of its size, the city of Sumter will take two seats on the commission, leaving one seat for Mayesville and Pinewood. County attorney Jonathan Bryan said the final seat should go to a Mayesville representative, both because the town has a larger population and Pinewood sat on the last joint commission. The kinds of projects for which state law allows a penny tax to be collected include roadwork, work on various public buildings or facilities, “cultural, recreational or historic” sites, water projects, stormwater management or dredging. If approved by the public next year, the extended penny sales tax is expected to raise up to $79 million over a sevenyear period to 2023. But the ad hoc committee discussed the possibility of collecting the tax for a shorter period, depending on the projects ultimately submitted to the public for approval. “It will be up to the big committee (i.e., the sixmember commission) to look at whether we should do the full seven years or do less,” Edens said. “The (county) council will have final say, but we can just vote up or down on the commission’s recommendation.” Reach Bristow Marchant at (803) 774-1272.

well as reconstituting the previous groups, Edens suggested adding a group representing younger residents of the county, roughly between the ages of 25 and 40. “I hear all the time there’s nothing for young people to do in Sumter,” said Chairman Larry Blanding. “They might know more about what we should have.” Councilwoman Vivian Fleming-McGhaney also said counties such as Sumter need to do more to make small communities attractive to Generations X and Y. “I know it’s difficult for the school district to recruit young teachers,” McGhaney said. “They can get older teachers who are more settled, but younger ones don’t want to live here.” Groups representing established institutions will likely organize themselves, committee members decided, but members of the at-large, rural and youth groups will have to be recruited by the county. A page may be added to the sumtercountysc.org website for volunteers to nominate themselves to take part, similar to how the county solicits volunteers to serve on boards and commissions. Once each group formulates a list of suggestions, a total list will be drawn up by a collective group made up of two representatives from each community group, making a total of 18 people. “Personally, I don’t think groups that large work very well,” Edens said, “but after it got started (during the 2008 process), many of them didn’t come, and it was usually only one person

Swampcats look to rebound against HH BY MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER mchristopher@theitem.com

Jones was 17-for-25 for 216 yards and four touchdowns and utilized most of his receiving corps. Three different Bruins, led by Tyquan Johnson, had at least 60 or more yards receiving and two touchdowns. Johnson had a career-high eight catches for 100 yards and two scores, while David Vereen had three catches for 90 yards and had two touchdowns. Junior Tabari Hines caught four passes for 68 yards and had two touchdowns plus had a big night

Coming off his first loss as head football coach at Laurence Manning Academy, Robbie Briggs said he is pleased to be 3-1 despite losing to Hammond 24-14 last week. “I think the kids realize if we continue to get better we’re going to be a pretty tough football team at the end of the year,” Briggs said. LMA, 1-1 in SCISA 3A play, will host Heathwood BRIGGS Hall at 7:30 p.m. today. The Highlanders are 1-2 overall and 1-1 in 3A games. “They’re another spread team and they throw the ball extremely well,” Briggs said of Heathwood. “They have two quarterbacks they use and have a powerful running back who is about 6-foot-2 and 210 pounds.” Heathwood opened the season with consecutive home losses — a 42-0 loss to Christ Church, a SCHSL 1A school from Greenville and a close 16-13 loss to Porter-Gaud. The Highlanders picked up their first victory of the season on the road with a 34-7 victory over Ben Lippen last week. Briggs thought his team played well on the road at Hammond despite having three players out – two in the secondary and one offensive lineman. The

Then we got our confidence going and kept putting up the points.” “The kids never wavered when they got stopped early in the game,” South head coach David Prince said. “If that happened a few years ago, they might have stuck their heads in the sand.

Clemson running back Zac Brooks (24) tries to break away from North Carolina State’s Robert Caldwell (48) as teammate Rodman Noel (5) watches during the Tigers’ 26-14 victory in Raleigh, N.C., on Thursday.

Tigers stay unbeaten BY AARON BEARD The Associated Press RALEIGH, N.C. — Tajh Boyd threw for 244 yards and three touchdowns to help No. 3 Clemson beat North Carolina State 26-14 on Thursday night. Boyd’s second scoring pass, a 30-yarder to Martavis Bryant, SWINNEY capped a critical thirdquarter sequence that allowed the Tigers (3-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) to seize momentum in front of a hostile crowd. Clemson pulled away from there.

Boyd found Bryant for another touchdown, with Bryant snatching the ball from defender Niles Clark for a 15-yard score that helped the Tigers blow the game open early in the fourth. Sammy Watkins added 10 catches for 96 yards on a night when Clemson’s explosive offense didn’t manage many big plays yet finished with 415 yards. Shadrach Thornton scored the Wolfpack’s first touchdown on a 21yard run in the second. N.C. State (2-1, 0-1) led 7-6 at that point but couldn’t complete the upset in coach Dave Doeren’s first league game.

COLUMBIA — Steve Spurrier likes what he’s seen of No. 12 South Carolina’s offense so far and believes it can be even more production going forward. The Gamecocks coach has enjoyed the quick-strike capabilities that have helped South Carolina (2-1, 1-1 Southeastern ConferSPURRIER ence) average 30 points and 480 yards a game, but he’s not satisfied. “We can do a lot better,” he said. “We should do a lot better.” Spurrier and the Gamecocks are working on it this week, the team’s first of two off weeks. South Carolina next plays on Sept. 28 at UCF, which made a major splash its last time out with a 34-31 victory at Penn State.

The coach hasn’t gotten into UCF details yet, instead he’s been refining what’s gone right and correcting what hasn’t. One thing Spurrier wants to change is the effort players give at workouts, which he said isn’t always 100 percent. Spurrier said two-sport athlete Bruce Ellington is leading the way effort-wise and should be an example for the younger players. Ellington, who’s played football and basketball the past two seasons, is coming off his best showing for the gridiron Gamecocks with eight catches for 111 yards in the win over Vanderbilt. “He’s out here trying to get better every day,” Spurrier said of Ellington. “I hope we can make it contagious that the rest of the guys bust their tail and try to get better every day out here.” SEE USC, PAGE B3

Crestwood’s Ty’Son Williams (5) is tackled by South Florence’s Karon Evans during the Bruins’ 54-7 victory on Thursday at Florence Memorial Stadium.

KNIGHTS from Page B1 on special teams. Hines returned three punts which ended up giving South Florence the ball in Crestwood territory. “It is an amazing feeling to run this offense with the guys I have around me,” Jones said. “If you try taking one of them away, I could put the ball in another guy’s hands and they can go and make plays.” While the offense kept putting points on the board, the Bruins defense kept giving it the ball back as it shut down the Knights’ Wing-T offense after the first possession. South allowed only 182 yards in the game and forced four turnovers, including a 35-yard interception return by Karon Evans in the third quarter. “I can’t take my hat off to the defense enough,” Prince said. “That is an offense that is always scoring and we held them to seven points. That’s the difference in the ball game. When you got a defense doing that for you, it is hard to mess it up.”

LMA from Page B1 Swampcats even had a chance to get back in the game with about eight minutes remaining, but couldn’t muster a score. LMA scored on a 40-yard pass from Rashae Bey to Cagney Brunson and Tyshawn Epps had a 3-yard TD run on a fourth down and goal, finishing with eight carries for 22 yards.

The Bruins struggled early for the third straight week and fell behind as running back Ty’Son Williams scored on a 51-yard touchdown run on fourth down and two yards to go to put Crestwood up 7-0 with 7:18 left. South didn’t move the ball on its first two drives, but got a lift from its defense as Kenny McClam picked off Tyler Brown and returned it to the Knights’ 33-yard line. Four plays later, Jones hit Johnson on 7-yard touchdown pass to tie it at 7-7. South added touchdowns on its next two possessions. Jones hit Hines on a 14-yard pass to make 14-7 Vereen made it 21-7 when recovered his own fumble in end zone. The sophomore caught the 42-yard pass, but fumbled at the 2-yard before he recovered it. The Bruins made it 27-7 right before halftime as Josh Johnson hit Vereen on a 35-yard reverse pass to make it 27-7. Rodney Brunson led the Bruins ground game with 84 yards rushing and a touchdown. Williams led Crestwood with 101 yards on the ground.

Bey led the team with 52 yards on 14 carries while the Swampcats managed just 139 yards as a team on 42 carries. Defensively, LMA allowed 356 yards on 50 plays for an average of 7.12 yards a play and missed 18 tackles. The Swampcats offense didn’t help itself with three turnovers against the Skyhawks. “We’ve got to play fundamentally sound,” Briggs said. “If we line up right and play hard

and do our job we’re going to be pretty tough to beat.” LMA expects two players to be out this week against the Highlanders with Epps returning to 100 percent after playing banged up against Hammond. “Tillman Tumbleston suffered a concussion,” the LMA coach said of his injured players. “And Roman Ferguson will be out another couple of weeks with a broken hand.”

Mettenberger, Marshall have similar career paths BY JOHN ZENOR The Associated Press The paths of LSU’s Zach Mettenberger and Auburn’s Nick Marshall will finally intersect after following parallel treks. Both quarterbacks started their careers at Georgia, got kicked off the team and then headed to a Kansas junior college before landing once again in the Southeastern Conference. Now, Mettenberger will lead No. 6 LSU against Marshall and the visiting Tigers Saturday night. “I’ll definitely be interested to see what happens,” Georgia quarterback Mark Richt said, adding he likes both “very much.” Both Mettenberger and Marshall have been taking full advantage of their second chances. Mettenberger is leading a national title contender in his third season at LSU and has been the SEC’s most efficient passer. He was dismissed by the Bulldogs in April 2010 because of legal trouble stemming from his

treatment of a woman at a bar, and spent one season at Butler Community College. Nearly two years later, Marshall was booted for violating team rules at Georgia, where he played cornerback as a freshman. He went to Garden City for a season and quickly won Auburn’s starting job. Marshall is coming off his best game, a 339yard effort against Mis-

sissippi State that ended with him throwing the winning touchdown pass to C.J. Uzomah with 10 seconds left. “I believe in stories of redemption and stories of guys coming back from making mistakes and all that kind of thing,” Richt said. “I’d kind of like it to happen here at Georgia. Sometimes a guy makes a mistake and you want him to turn it around at Georgia, but sometimes

Slive: NCAA rules on agents ‘part of the problem’ BY JOHN ZENOR The Associated Press BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Southeastern Conference Commissioner Mike Slive remains very critical of the NCAA’s rules governing agents, an issue that continues to plague his league. “I feel like the current NCAA rules and regulations are part of the problem, they’re not part of the solution,” Slive said Thursday in an interview with The Associated Press. It was virtually a repeat of his message at SEC media days three years ago when agent-related incidents also

prompted investigations at three schools. Slive is adamant change is needed. “What we had hoped for was for a total rethink of the rules and regulations as they relate to agents,” Slive said. “A task force was formed and began SLIVE to do some work and then for reasons I’m not clear on, the conversations ended.” He’s pushing for changes in the NCAA that include affording prospect-heavy leagues like the SEC, which had 63

USC from Page B1 In recent weeks, Spurrier has praised quarterbacks Connor Shaw and Dylan Thompson, along with running backs Mike Davis and Brandon Wilds. Shaw and Thompson have formed a potent one-two combo under center, combining for seven TDs and just one interception. Ellington said Shaw trusts his throwing ability more instead of relying on his running skills too quickly. “He’s just got that confidence,” Ellington said. “He’s coming out to practice and being a leader.” South Carolina’s backfield has been productive in its first season without Marcus Lattimore carrying the load. Davis is fourth in the SEC in both rushing yards and all-purpose yards per game this season. Wilds is a bruising, short down back who’s been able to excel when given the ball and in pass protection. The biggest reason for Spurrier’s offensive excitement, though, is South Carolina’s developing offensive line. The unit has allowed just three sacks this season despite expected starting center Cody Waldrop out with a sprained foot. Clayton Stadnik, a redshirt freshman, has started the past two games and was named the SEC’s offensive lineman of the week for his efforts at holding down Vanderbilt. Around Stadnik, the Gamecocks are deep and talented with guards A.J. Cann and Roland Patrick and tackles Corey Robinson and Brandon Shell, who’ve combined for 60 starts over the past three seasons.

players chosen in this year’s NFL draft, the authority to create their own rules to curb such problems. The agent issue is back in the news again forefront once again even as several SEC teams are in the mix to extend the league’s national title streak to eight seasons. A recent Yahoo report said a runner for agents provided improper benefits to football players at Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi State. It’s potentially the most damaging of several issues involving an SEC team, player or coach since the summer.

“Let’s just say we’ve got some potential because we do have a big, strong offensive line,” Spurrier said. “Young Stadnik came in there and has held his own. You look at your offensive line, we’re as experienced as any in the conference, so we should dominate the line of scrimmage at times.” Now, if only South Carolina can get its defense in gear. Spurrier changed his offensive approach over nine seasons with the Gamecocks, relying on ball control and suffocating defense to win an SEC East title in 2010 and win 11 games each of the previous two seasons. But the defense has allowed 66 points its past two games — the Gamecocks gave up just 63 points total during its 6-0 start to 2012 — and has had Spurrier questioning its direction at times. The coach couldn’t understand how Georgia receiver Justin Scott-Wesley was left wide open on an 87-yard touchdown play in the fourth quarter of South Carolina’s 41-30 loss, or when Vanderbilt converted a fourth-and-6 pass in the third quarter with All-American defensive end Jadeveon Clowney dropped back into coverage instead of rushing the quarterback. Defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward said part of the problem is losing five senior linebackers who were the backbone of the group the past few years and the young replacements are still learning. “This should be a big week for them to rehash some of the things they were taught early in camp,” he said.

it happens at other schools. I’m really happy for these guys.” He said before Marshall led Auburn’s final drive, he “had a feeling this guy’s going to start making some history at Auburn.” No Auburn quarterback had ever thrown for that many yards in his SEC debut. Marshall has been a key component in Auburn’s 3-0 start that already matches last season’s

win total, and the dualthreat quarterback just got his biggest confidence boost. “Last week definitely helped, there’s no doubt,” Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said. “Each game you learn more about him, he learns more about us. He gets more comfortable. We’ve got a big challenge this week. This is the best defense that we’ve played against, on the road, in

a hostile environment. We’ve got to deal with the elements and the noise and everything that goes with that.” Marshall was not made available to the media this week. The two quarterbacks have different styles and frames. The 6-foot-5, 230-pound Mettenberger is four inches taller and 30 pounds heavier than Marshall. Mettenberger is a dropback passer while Marshall has had some success as a scrambler after rushing for 1,000 yards at Garden City. The LSU quarterback has shown signs of being one of the SEC’s best under new offensive coordinator Cam Cameron. His nine touchdown passes rank as the most in LSU history through the first three games of a season, and he has yet to be intercepted in 69 attempts. Mettenberger’s five touchdown passes against UAB was a school record. He said his father, Bernie, has always been in his corner along the winding road to success.

USC gets official visit from wideout Berrios from Vanderbilt, UNC, NCSU, Maryland, Charlotte, Old Dominion, Appalachian State and East Carolina. He’s not drawing any interest right now from USC or Clemson. He has Vandy and UNC as his top two. Samuel said he’s not sure when he’ll make his decision, but plans to take his official visits. There is no leader between Vandy and UNC. Clemson is in solid shape with one of Georgia’s top quarterbacks for the 2015 class in Lorenzo Nunez (6-2. 190) of Kennesaw. The Tigers have offered along with Ohio State, Tennessee, Kentucky, Boston College and Charlotte. He’s also drawing strong interest from FSU, Miami and Notre Dame. Nunez talks with Clemson recruiter Chad Morris once or twice a week. Nunez and his father took in the Tigers’ season opener against UGA and they plan a return trip to Clemson for later in the season as the Tigers are strongly on their mind. “We’re very interested,” the senior Nunez said. “They are at the top of our list. The top three are Clemson, Ohio State and Tennessee (in no order).” FSU is showing major interest and would become a strong contender with an offer. Nunez visited Auburn for games last season and will also go to Ohio State, Vandy, Tennessee, FSU and possibly Miami for games this season. Nunez is primarily a passing QB with the ability to extend plays with his legs. Last season, he accounted for 1,700 yards and 15 touchdowns. QB Torrance Gibson of Plantation, Fla., has an offer from Clemson, but has not heard from the Tigers lately. His other offers are from Ohio State, ND, Miami, FSU, Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, West Virginia, South Florida, BC and Nebraska. He said that Ohio State, Miami and Ole Miss are showing the most interest. Gibson continues to express interest in Clemson and does not have any favorites. QB Marquane Goodman of West Florence High has an offer from App State and continues to receive attention from Clemson, USC, NCSU, Florida, Ole Miss, Louisville, ND, UNC, Kent State, Tennessee and ECU. He attended Clemson’s opener as well as USC’s and is showing interest in the two instate programs.

“I liked the (USC) atmosphere,” he said. “The crowd was just crazy. As far as Clemson...it’s such a family atmosphere. Not just with the football team, it’s the whole town.” Considered one of the top prospects of North Carolina’s 2015 class, WR Michael Bowman had planned to attend the USC-Vandy game, but did not make it. He was at NCSU for its season opener and that’s been the only game he’s gotten to thus far. He does not have any favorites and is in no hurry to make a decision. DB Kaleb Chalmers of Greenwood High was in Columbia on Saturday and was in Athens the previous weekend. He was at Clemson for the UGA game. Chalmers has offers from USC and Clemson and continues to hear from UGA. His other offers are from Duke, UNC and Stanford and he’s getting interest Phil from TennesKORNBLUT see, Wake Forest and Vandy. Other trips he plans to make this season include Duke, UNC, Tennessee, Alabama and FSU. Chalmers does not have any favorites. Offensive lineman Mitch Hyatt of Suwanee, Ga., currently has a top five of Clemson, USC, UGA, Louisville and Auburn. He was at Clemson for the UGA game and at UGA for the USC game. His uncle is former Clemson DL Dan Benish. OL Steven Gonzalez of Union City, N.J., had hoped to visit USC this football season, but those plans may be scratched. He continues to hear from the Gamecocks and remains interested. He has offers from USC, Rutgers, Louisville, BC, Virginia, Massachsuetts and Syracuse and is getting interest from Miami, FSU, Alabama, Penn State, Ohio State and ND among others. Among the schools that have not offered, Gonzalez said the ones showing the most interest are Alabama and Oregon. He planned to visit Rutgers this past weekend and may attend the PSU-Michigan game. He expects to visit USC after the season. Junior running back Bryce Love of Wake Forest, N.C., made his way to Athens for the recruiting corner

S

outh Carolina has long been in pursuit of wide receiver Braxton Berrios of Raleigh, N.C., and last weekend the Gamecocks hosted him for his official visit. That was not his first visit to Columbia. Berrios attended a couple of games last season and picked up his offer from USC on the weekend of the Tennessee game. “It’s a great opportunity to play for a great program,” Berrios said then. He also attended USC’s spring game in April and got a clearer picture of how the Gamecocks viewed him. “They told me they would use me like Ace Sanders and in the return game,” he said in April. “Coach (Steve) Spurrier Jr. likes me for the slot.” Berrios also visited USC for a camp in July. He’s now taken three official visits. The others were to Oregon and Miami, and he is scheduled to see Tennessee officially on Oct. 5. Right now he has his decision down to those four schools. Defensive back DJ Smith of Marietta, Ga., is one of the nation’s top uncommitted seniors. From dozens of offers he has narrowed his list to USC, Clemson, Georgia and Tennessee. He was in Athens for the USCUGA game. Smith visited Clemson in the spring and he dropped in at USC this summer. Smith has not set his official visits, but said most likely they will be with his final four. And he said he does not have a favorite. Smith won’t announce a decision until National Signing Day in February of 2014. Defensive end Lorenzo Featherston of Greensboro, N.C., was at the UGA at Clemson game and planned to be at the Clemson-North Carolina State on Thursday. He’s not claiming favorites at this time from among Clemson, USC, Tennessee, North Carolina, NCSU, Oregon and Auburn. He has no timeline for a decision. Senior defensive lineman Cory Thomas of McCalla, Ala., tweeted out his top five as Clemson, Mississippi State, Tennessee, Florida and Florida State. WR Tyshun Samuel (6-foot0-inches, 186 pounds) of Chapman High School is off to a hot start this season with 11 total touchdowns on the board in three games. The speedy Samuel (4.3 40-yard dash) has offers

USC-UGA game with his father, Chris Love, who was a track and field athlete at USC. Love’s father said his son watched the game intently. “He wanted to see how USC utilized their running back, slot receivers and tight end,” said Chris Love. “It didn’t help that USC lost though.” Love is good friends with UGA RB Keith Marshall and spent time with the Bulldogs coaches. “They’re still showing some interest,” said Love’s father. “They haven’t offered yet, but they’re keeping an eye on him.” Love planned to be at ECU this past weekend and is was supposed to be at the NCSUClemson game. And he was at Clemson for the UGA game. He and his father hope to get to USC for a couple of games. Love has offers from USC, Clemson, Tennessee, UNC, Stanford, NCSU, Duke, Arkansas, ECU and Virginia Tech. Summerville High OL Zack Bailey (6-5, 307) is now in his second season playing for John McKissick at Summerville and is emerging as one of the state’s top prospects for ‘15. Bailey is playing tackle this season after being a guard last season. His versatility and flexibility are just two of the traits the college coaches covet. His early offers include Clemson, USC, Florida, FSU, Georgia Tech, UNC and The Citadel. He was at Clemson for the UGA game and had planned to go to UGA for the USC game, but didn’t make it. He plans to be at Clemson for the FSU game and at USC for the Clemson game. He also wants to get to GT for a game. Bailey said early on he has no recruiting favorites. RB Chris Warren (6-2, 225) of Rockwall, Texas, visited Clemson this summer and was offered by the Tigers’ Morris, himself a Texas native. “I learned a lot about the school in general and talked with Coach Morris quite a bit,” Warren said. “I think I would fit in pretty good.” Warren is a powerful runner with good speed. Last season, he rushed for 1,059 yards and 13 TDs. He also has offers from Alabama, Baylor, Mississippi State, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Southern Methodist, Texas, Texas Tech, Colorado and Ole Miss. Florida and Texas A&M are also showing interest, and

he planned to be at College Station this past Saturday for the Alabama game. Warren said Clemson will definitely be under consideration as he goes through the process and the distance is not a factor. He doesn’t plant to make his decision until signing day of his senior season. WR Freddie Phillips of Pelion High attended the Clemson-South Carolina State game, and the week before that he was at GT for a game. Phillips likes the Tigers and is confident the feeling is mutual. “I think they’re pretty interested,” Phillips said. He is waiting on his first offer and does not have any favorites. Basketball News: Dante Buford, a 6-7 player from Jacksonville, Fla., is USC’s top target for the ‘14 class, and the Gamecocks were in to see him last week. Buford is a native of Simpsonville and his South Carolina roots are working in the Gamecocks’ favor. “I know it’s in their best interest that he’s a South Carolina boy,” head coach Rex Morgan of Arlington Country Day School said. “All these places are pretty far away from his mother and friends. I think he’s comfortable with the coaching staff at South Carolina.” Buford is down to USC, Southern California, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Miami and is scheduled for official visits to each starting in October. He’s been to USC before, most recently for the UNC football game. “He liked the enthusiasm and the atmosphere at the game,” Morgan said. Buford is not Morgan’s only player the Gamecocks like. LeDamion Keys, a 6-9 player, just arrived at the school from New Orleans. Morgan said USC and DePaul are interested in Keys, who Morgan calls a “shot blocker with a high motor. He rebounds and jumps extremely well. He’s very athletic and long with a long wingspan.” Basketball fans in the Midlands can get a look at Morgan’s team in December when it plays in the Chick-FilA Classic in Columbia. Morgan said Oak Hill Academy in Virginia is also coming in for that tournament.

Stenson opens with 64 to take lead at East Lake

NASCAR from Page B1 millions of NASCAR fans and will evaluate our future position in motorsports.” The company issued a harsh rebuke of MWR last week after NASCAR sanctioned the organization for its shenanigans in the Sept. 7 race at Richmond. MWR was punished for deliberately manipulating the outcome of the race in an attempt to get Truex into the 12-driver Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field. NASCAR took the unprecedented NEWMAN step of kicking Truex out of the Chase in favor of Ryan Newman, who would have made it into the field instead of Truex without MWR’s meddling. MWR was also fined $300,000, general manager Ty Norris was suspended indefinitely and all three crew chiefs for its drivers were placed on probation GORDON for the rest of the year. The penalties levied against MWR led to a larger NASCAR investigation that uncovered at least one other case of race manipulation. NASCAR was then forced to expand the Chase field to 13 drivers to include Jeff Gordon and issue new rules banning digital radios and more than one team member per car on the spotter stand. NASCAR chairman Brian France also ordered all competitors to give 100 percent at all times during a meeting in which it was made clear attempts to artificially alter the outcome of races would be prohibited. Waltrip apologized for the first time for MWR’s actions at Richmond. “To the fans and those who made their voice heard through social media, as the owner, I am responsible for all actions of MWR,” he said in a statement. “I sincerely apologize for the role our team played and for the lines NASCAR has ruled were crossed by our actions at Richmond.

how we are expected to race.” NAPA’s decision will end a relationship with Waltrip that dates to 2001. NAPA was sponsor for Waltrip for both of his Daytona 500-winning cars and moved with him when he formed Michael Waltrip Racing in 2007. The company took over sponsorship of Truex when he joined MWR in 2010 and as Waltrip’s replacement. This is the second scandal NAPA has been through with Waltrip, who was found to have a fuel additive in his engine in his debut race, the 2007 Daytona 500. NASCAR docked the team 100 points, ejected crew chief David Hyder and executive Bobby Kennedy and fined Hyder $100,000 in one of the biggest cheating scandals ever at the Daytona 500. It was also Toyota’s debut race. Waltrip had a miserable season that year, failing to qualify for 20 races with NAPA as his sponsor and nearly going bankrupt. He recovered, in large part, after MWR coowner Rob Kauffman pumped in much-needed cash and brought stability and accountability to the organization.

ATLANTA — Henrik Stenson looked like he couldn’t miss Thursday in the Tour Championship. Tiger Woods didn’t make a thing. Stenson ran off five birdies over a six-hole stretch on the front nine at East Lake. His last birdie, a 5-iron from 223 STENSON yards to 4 feet on the par-3 18th hole, gave him a 6-under 64 and a oneshot lead over Masters champion Adam Scott. Scott made six birdies in seven holes for a 29 on the back nine. There were birdies galore on a warm, relatively calm afternoon at East Lake — except for Woods. Woods missed a short birdie putt on his opening hole that set the tone for the day. He was the only player in the 30-man field to go without a birdie.

Eagles no longer have to worry about losing streak BY MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER mchristopher@theitem.com The Scott’s Branch High School football team snapped a 14-game losing streak with a 14-6 victory over 2A Burke last Friday, earning head coach Jesse Johnson his first victory at Scott’s Branch. “It was a good win for the program and the kids,� he said of the victory. “What it does is show the kids we can win, and I’ve said all along as we get in a little bit better shape and we get better we’ll be able to compete with the 1A schools.� The victory snapped a skid that dated all the way back to Nov. 4, 2011, when SBHS beat

Whale Branch 60-40 in the second round of the 1A Division II playoffs. “They’re real hyped about the win and excited to get that win because for some of them it’s their first win in a couple of years,� Johnson said. “They stressed that we could do it again if we play better and get in a little bit better shape.� The Eagles, now 1-2 on the season after a 62-6 loss to Allendale-Fairfax and 76-0 defeat at Manning to open the season, got a solid effort from running backs Jeremy Lee and Trayshawn Jones. Lee had more than 100 yards rushing and scored twice on the ground, once in

the first quarter and again in the third quarter to put the game away. He also kicked both extra points. “Jeremy ran the ball real well and Tyquan Kennedy controlled the pace of the game on offense at quarterback. We had an outstanding JOHNSON job from Trayshawn Jones and rode him and Jeremy all the way,� Johnson said. He added that the defense did a good job of containing and exploiting the young Bulldogs quarterback. “Our defense did a good

job of exploiting some of the areas where we thought we could have success,� he explained. “Our goal was to put constant pressure on him and I think we eventually knocked him out of the game.� The Eagles will now turn their attention to 2A Kingstree, which sits at 2-2 on the season. The Jaguars opened their season with a 28-20 win over Cross then were shut out 21-0 by Hemingway. They bounced back with a 48-20 victory over C.E. Murray before dropping last week’s contest 23-20 to Johnsonville. Johnson said he doesn’t know much about Kingstree and didn’t exchange film.

Los Angeles Dodger’s Scott Van Slyke (33) is hit with the ball as he slides home to score a run against Arizona as teammate Yasiel Puig looks on during the Dodgers 7-6 victory on Thursday, in Phoenix. With the win LA clinched the NL West title.

BY MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER mchristopher@theitem.com

Dodgers beat Arizona 7-6, clinch NL West PHOENIX — Languishing deep in last place three months ago, the Los Angeles Dodgers are headed to the playoffs. The Dodgers became the first team to clinch a postseason berth, wrapping up their first NL West title since 2009 when they rallied past the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-6 on Thursday behind two homers from Hanley Ramirez. Despite an NL-high payroll of $214 million-plus on opening day, the Dodgers got off to an 30-42 start and were last in the division, 9½ games behind the first-place Diamondbacks, before play on June 22. Los Angeles has gone 58-23 since. The Dodgers trailed 6-3 in the sixth and A.J. Ellis hit a tiebreaking homer off Josh Collmenter (4-4) leading off the eighth.

Robert E. Lee Academy accounted for nearly 400 total yards of offense to pick up a 41-13 victory over The King’s Academy last week. The Cavaliers, now 2-2 overall and 1-0 in SCISA Region I-2A win, rushed for 300 yards with Nic Stokes accounting RANKIN for 130 on his own. “It’s nice to be 1-0 in the conference, but going 2-0 would be huge and making it 3-0 would be real good,� first-year REL head coach David Rankin said. “We play in a tough conference and the top four make the playoffs, so I feel like if you get to three wins you can make it (the playoffs).� REL will take a break from the conference this week, but will face a stiff challenge as it travels to Ridgeland for a 7:30 p.m. contest against Thomas Heyward Academy. The 2-2 Rebels are coming off back-to-back wins

over Calhoun Academy (42-26) and Colleton Prep (47-13). Offensively, THA is averaging 37.8 points per game while allowing 40.5. REL head football coach David Rankin called the offensive line’s performance against TKA its best of the year as the team found running success between the tackles. “We ran the Inside Iso and Power (formations) and were just more physical knocking guys off our blocks,� Rankin said. “We’ve been improving each week and are starting to believe in ourselves.� Defensively, the Cavs contained the Lions’ pressure and picked off two passes. The Rebels’ losses came at the hands of 3A Orangeburg Prep, a 35-7 defeat, and an 88-47 loss to 1A Bible Baptist from Savannah, Ga. Overall, Rankin said his team continues to improve from week to week and coming off its biggest victory to date has a little bit of confidence and momentum heading into Friday’s contest.

What he’s seen of the Jaguars came from watching their game against C.E. Murray, which was the FTC Game of the Week. The Eagles will concentrate on what they do and hope to improve their conditioning. “We’re going to try to run the ball and use our speed to play some solid defense,� Johnson explained. “We’re going into this game with high expectations.� The Eagles lost playmaker Traviant Riley on the very first play against Burke. Riley, who is the team’s backup quarterback and starts on both sides of the ball, hurt his ankle and could be out for a while.

Public gets Free TV with no monthly bills Federal law makes TV network giants broadcast Free TV signals regionally in crystal clear digital picture in all 50 states allowing U.S. households to pull in Free TV with a sleek $49 micro antenna device engineered to pull in nothing but Free TV channels with no cable, satellite or internet connection and no monthly bills

Who Gets Free TV: Listed below are the Sumter area zip codes that can get Free over the air TV channels. If you live in one of these areas immediately call: 1-888-874-3480 SOU T H CA ROL I NA - To d ay ’s announcement by CompTek has the Free TV Hotlines ringing off the hook. That’s because Sumter area residents who find their zip code listed in today’s publication are getting Free TV channels thanks to an amazing razor-thin invention called Clear-Cast®. Sumter area residents who call the Toll Free Hotlines before the 48-hour order deadline to get Clear-Cast can pull in Free TV channels with crystal clear digital picture and no monthly bills . This announcement is being so widely advertised because a U.S. Federal law makes TV broadcasters transmit their signals in digital format, which allows everyone to receive these over-the-air digital signals for free with no monthly bills. Here’s how it works. Clear-Cast, the sleek micro antenna device with advanced technology links up directly to pull in the Free TV signals being broadcast in your area with crystal clear digital picture and no monthly bills. Clear-Cast was invented by a renowned NASA Space Technology Hall of Fame scientist who currently holds 23 U.S. Gov’t issued patents. For the past 20 years, he has specialized in developing antenna systems for NASA, Motorola, XM Satellite Radio and companies around the world. His latest patent-pending invention, Clear-Cast, is a sleek micro antenna device engineered to pull in the Free TV signals through advanced technology with no cable, satellite or internet connection and no monthly bills. “Clear-Cast is being released to the general public because we just don’t think people should keep paying for TV when they can get it for free,” said Conrad Miller, Manager of Operations at CompTek. “There’s never a monthly bill to pay and all the channels you get with Clear-Cast are absolutely free. So you see, ClearCast is not like cable or satellite. It was engineered to access solely the over-theair signals that include all the top rated national and regional networks, like ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, PBS, CW and about 90% of the most watched TV shows like America’s Got Talent, NCIS, 60 Minutes, American Idol, The Big Bang Theory, The Bachelorette, Person of Interest, CSI, The Mentalist, Two and a Half Men, Sunday Night Football plus news, weather and more all for free with no monthly bills,” Miller said. “That’s why Clear-Cast is such a great alternative for everyone who is sick and tired of paying expensive cable and satellite bills every month,” he said. “People who get Clear-Cast will say it feels like getting an extra paycheck every month. You see, with Clear-Cast you’ll receive free over-the-air broadcast channels with crystal clear digital picture, not the cable or satellite only channels. So being able to eliminate those channels puts all the money you were spending back in your pocket every month,” Miller said. And here’s the best part. The sleek micro antenna device called Clear-Cast is so technically advanced it pulls in even more of the channels being broadcast in your area for Free with no monthly bills. That way you can channel surf through the favorite TV shows. The number of shows and channels you’ll get depends on where you live. People living in large metropolitan areas may get up to 53 staticfree channels, while people in outlying areas will get less. That means even if you’re in a rural area that just pulls in NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX and PBS broadcasts there’s hundreds of shows each year to watch for free. Consumers report that the crystal clear picture quality with Clear-Cast is the best they’ve ever seen. That’s because you get virtually all pure uncompressed signals direct from the broadcasters for free. Clear-Cast was engineered to link up directly like a huge outdoor directional antenna but in a lightweight, slim-line package. Its sturdy copper alloy and polymer construction will most likely far outlast your TV. It just couldn’t be any easier to get Free over-the-air digital TV shows with Clear-Cast. Simply plug it into your TV, place Clear-Cast on a window pane and run autoscan. It works on virtually any model TV and is easily hidden out of sight behind a curtain or window treatment. Thousands of Sumter area residents are expected to call to get Clear-Cast because it just doesn’t make any sense to keep paying for TV when you can get hundreds of shows absolutely free. So, Sumter area residents lucky enough to find their zip code listed in today’s publication need to immediately call the Free TV Hotline before the 48-hour deadline to get Clear-Cast that pulls in Free TV with crystal clear digital picture. If lines are busy keep trying, all calls will be answered.

Today’s announcement photo above shows just a handful of the major over-the-air broadcast networks you can receive with Clear-Cast for free. It saves a ton of money by not picking up expensive cable only channels like ESPN so there’s never a monthly bill. This is all possible because a U.S. Federal Law makes TV broadcasters transmit their signals in digital format, which allows everyone to use Clear-Cast to pull in Free TV channels with no monthly bills. CompTek is giving every U.S. household a 50% off discount to help cover the cost of Clear-Cast.

Tonight’s TV offers variety of viewing options BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH Friday night’s schedule brims with choices. The throwback sitcom “Last Man Standingâ€? (8 p.m., ABC, TV-PG) enters its third season with a boost from cable’s hottest docu-comedy. Tim Allen (“Home Improvementâ€?) stars here as a proud holder of oldfashioned, manly values surrounded, and quite often overwhelmed, by a household of women. Willie and Si Robertson (“Duck Dynastyâ€?) gueststar tonight, making their acting debuts of sorts, playing characters not named Robertson. • Reggie and Amber break big news as the fish-out-of-water, aliensin-the-suburbs comedy “The Neighborsâ€? (8:30 p.m., ABC, TV-PG) returns for a second season. • Dallas-based bakers and entrepreneurs concoct a sweet confection on the fifth-season premiere of “Shark Tankâ€? (9 p.m., ABC, TV-PG). • Shipwrecks fascinate, and somehow become easy metaphors for societal ills. The sinking of the Titanic has long been seen as a portent of the global calamity of World War I, a conflict that literally destroyed European civilization. The recently released and highly acclaimed Italian film “The Great Beauty,â€? directed by Paolo Sorrentino, uses

the 2012 sinking of the cruise ship Costa Concordia as a metaphor for an Italian society that has literally run aground in the post-Berlusconi era. American cable television rarely trades in such gloom, so look for tonight’s special “Inside Raising the Concordiaâ€? (10 p.m., Discovery) to put the accent on technology and can-do buoyancy. • After the success of the first two “Godfatherâ€? movies, the films were subsequently re-edited into “The Godfather Saga,â€? a chronological retelling of the Corleone story presented as an NBC miniseries in 1977. Sometime before “Godfatherâ€? author Mario Puzo, there was a writer named William Shakespeare who knew a thing or two about spinning actual events into historical dramas about the violent struggle for the “family business.â€? Look for “Great Performancesâ€? (9 p.m., PBS, TV-14, check local listings) to turn elements of “Richard II,â€? “Henry IV, Parts I and IIâ€? and “Henry Vâ€? into a single chronological drama called “The Hollow Crown,â€? airing in miniseries fashion over four consecutive Friday nights.

cle as a means of social control in the 1975 sci-fi thriller “Rollerball� (8:45 p.m., TCM), directed by Norman Jewison and starring James Caan.

Tonight’s Other Highlights • Set in the ruins of Paris after a nuclear war, the 28-minute French feature “La Jeteeâ€? (8 p.m., TCM) would inspire the 1995 sci-fi drama “12 Monkeys.â€? • An air conditioning unit becomes a tomb on “Bonesâ€? (8 p.m., Fox, r, TV-14). • A family visits Alabama in 1963, just as violent acts of domestic terrorism begin to shake America’s conscience, in the 2013 drama “The Watsons Go to Birminghamâ€? (8 p.m., Hallmark). • Mary McCormack (“In Plain Sightâ€?) stars in the 2013 made-fortelevision drama “Es-

cape from Polygamyâ€? (8 p.m., Lifetime). • Nature gets nasty over three hours of “Secret Life of Predatorsâ€? (8 p.m., National Geographic and Nat Geo Wild). • Two Revolutionary relics return on “Sleepy Hollowâ€? (9 p.m., Fox, r, TV-14). • Kono becomes a scapegoat on “Hawaii Five-Oâ€? (9 p.m., CBS, r, TV-14). • A simpleton and his horse defy an evil tyrant in the cartoon comedy “Wander Over Yonderâ€? (9 p.m., Disney, TV-Y7). • “Revealing: Extravaganceâ€? (9 p.m., Sundance) looks at culture’s obsession with luxury goods. • The family deals with the aftermath of a friend’s killing on “Blue Bloodsâ€? (10 p.m., CBS, r, TV-14).
