Sumter businesses work with fruit company to promote healthy eating habits among kids BY JADE REYNOLDS jade@theitem.com

hree Sumter companies, working in conjunction with a fruit company out west, have come together to encourage children to eat healthful foods. Now the campaign they created, “Snack Like A Super Hero” is a finalist in the 2014 Produce Marketing Association Impact Awards. “Everybody loves super heroes,” said Paul

Tomlinson, founder and owner of Waxed Designs LLC. “The whole campaign is about promoting healthy living. It can be hard to get kids interested in that. There are a lot of bad food choices out there. So if we can get them excited about a product and at the same time they choose healthy food as a result, I think it’s a win-win for everyone.” His partners in this venture are Team Image Marketing and Sumter Packing Corporation, and the client is Sage Fruit.

Check your health at ‘A Family Affair’ Health Fair BY JADE REYNOLDS jade@theitem.com The Sumter Rotary Club is concerned about your health. So the civic organization is hosting “A Family Affair” Health Fair from 1 to 5 p.m. Thursday at the Birnie HOPE Center, 210 S. Purdy St. “We know there is a large population in Sumter that need medical care and do not seek it for a variety of reasons,” said Travis McIntosh, president of this Rotary Club and one of the event directors. “This is an opportunity for Sumter Rotary Club to provide access to basic health care, and thanks to Sumter Family Health Center, followup medical care if needed.” To provide this event, the club is partnering with Coastal Plain Rural Health Network, a group of health care and public service organizations that collaborate to

provide strategic programs and events to strengthen the health of rural communities, said Scherrie P. Cogdill, executive director. She is also executive director of the Cypress Foundation of Clarendon Health System, of which McIntosh is a founding member and current chairman. “As a board member, I have volunteered at several community health fairs,” McIntosh said. “I knew in order to accomplish this task, our club would need their expertise. When I reached out to Scherrie, she spoke with her CPRHN board, and they agreed to partner with us.” The event is being funded by the annual Rotary Foundation grant that the Club applies for and receives from Rotary District 7770. “The dollars must be used to better our local community, and in order to receive the

Deputies: No hazing in Clemson student death CLEMSON — The national office of Sigma Phi Epsilon says its investigation has found no evidence linking hazing to the death of Clemson University student who fell from a bridge. However, the office said in a news release Saturday that the Clemson chapter remains under suspended operations after learning that university administrators were aware of morning runs for new members. The office says that may violate the fraternity’s policies and procedures. On Wednesday, Oconee County deputies also said they found no evidence linking the death of 19-year-old Tucker Hipps to hazing. Authorities say Hipps was running with fellow Sigma Phi Epsilon members before dawn Monday when he fell behind. Fraternity members reported him missing to university police when he wasn’t at breakfast. His body was found that evening under a bridge.

This is the first health fair held by this Rotary club, said Jack Osteen, project chair for Sumter Rotary this year and event coordinator for “A Family Affair” Health Fair. “Sumter is a great community but certainly has its fair share of needs when it comes to access to health care,” he said. “This is just one way we can do our part as a local service and charitable organization to give back to the community in that area of need.” Based on other community health fairs, hundreds are expected to attend, Osteen said, and as the name implies, it’s designed for all age groups.

the audition, they must have a 2.5 GPA. Hodges said they have found that when students attend the school, “they may have a 2.5 GPA and a great passion for a particular art area, but as they work in their art field and study altogether there on campus, their academic success increases tremendously.” Hodges said she first got involved with the school as a parent when her son Luke attended during his junior and senior years of school for creative writing. Other alumni for the Governor’s School include well-known actors and actresses such as Nicole Beharie of Fox TV’s “Sleepy Hollow” and Danielle Brooks of Netflix’s “Orange is the New Black as well as notable graphic design-

ers and other artists. The Governor’s School is a public residential high school where students live on campus. Hodges emphasized that the students living away from home is another reason the benefit is important -- to reassure parents about the care of the students. “The reason that we’re hosting the benefit is because we want to spread awareness about the school throughout the state. We have organized an advisory group within the Midlands who are pulling this benefit together and the proceeds of the sale of the tickets go to the Foundation for the Governor’s School of Humanities,” Hodges said. “This gives people in the Midlands an opportunity to learn more about the school

by coming to the benefit and speaking to the administration and students who are there now. They’ll get to see performances by the students. They’ll get to meet parents like me who are engaged with the school and have had experience with a child who is a graduate of school.” The Governor’s School benefit is scheduled for 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Wavering Place Plantation, antebellum estate in East Columbia. Tickets for the event are $50 and all proceeds for the ticket sales go back to the school’s foundation.

LHS career fair presents career, education options for students BY RAYTEVIA EVANS ray@theitem.com Students at Lakewood High School were given the opportunity to explore their future interests at the school’s annual career fair. Career specialists Gayle Jennings and Alicia Hammett said it took about a month to plan and organize the event that attracted about 60 businesses, agencies and schools that were available to provide information and answer students’ questions. “The career fair is for all grade levels, and we started this morning with the seniors,” Hammett said. “We let the students know at the beginning that there would be a career fair, and we encourage them to come here and ask questions, especially those who

are not sure about what they want to do and those who may be interested in going into the military.” Brianna Nelson, a senior at Lakewood, said she already knew she wanted to become a physical therapist. Her plans originally included pre-med at Francis Marion University, studying physical therapy at the University of South Carolina and then moving to North Carolina to open her own practice. However, after the career fair, Nelson said she may be broadening her options. “I spoke with the YMCA, and now I’m really thinking about doing some work at the YMCA because she talked to me about how I could help a lot of people,” Nelson said. “I stopped at the Sumter Family Health Center table and they told me about becoming a

midwife, so I think that’s something I may be interested in, too.” Jennings said it’s really important for them to expose the students to different options — whether they have an idea of what school they want to attend or what career they want to pursue. Although they have a few more years in high school, freshmen and sophomores were encouraged to start thinking ahead. Chase Rogers, a junior and a member of Lakewood’s chapter of Future Farmers of America, said he has seen how Jennings and Hammett have really kept the students informed about different opportunities after high school. Senior Emily Allen, who is leaning toward a nursing career after attending Charleston Southern, said they’ve changed the way students at

Lakewood pursue ambitions for college and careers. “Even as freshmen they’ve been giving us pamphlets and information about colleges and different careers,” Allen said. “They prepare us for great opportunities.” Hammett and Jennings received a lot of response from community businesses, even providing refreshments donated from local companies unable to attend Friday morning’s event. Some local agencies that were in attendance to provide information and answer students’ questions included local law enforcement, Central Carolina Technical College, Wells Fargo, SAFE, representatives from several branches of the military, YMCA, ATI out of Virginia and NASCAR Institute.

Nutrition education class can help change your life

t’s hard enough to ignore the conflicting information found on the Internet, but when it comes to improving your health, is it necessary to be on a different diet for each diagnosed health issue? What if you have multiple health issues that require different diet approaches? Sophia Draper, 63, feels like she has been on a roller coaster ride of diets trying to improve her health. About 10 Missy years ago, she was Corrigan placed on a fat-free diet in an attempt to reduce her cholesterol levels. Several years later, she was diagnosed as prediabetic, so she was encouraged to

adopt a vegetarian diet. “I felt like a ticking time bomb, and I had no idea what might happen to me next,” she said. During the course of 10 years, she had put on a considerable amount of weight. “On top of an age-related slowing metabolism, I was depressed and stressed,” she said. Under pressure to improve her health by losing 30 pounds, she went to a weight-loss clinic, where she was put on a 1,000-calorie diet. She recalls sitting in her car looking through the book and thinking, “One thousand calories? What does that even look like? I can eat that in one meal. Am I supposed to only eat one meal a day?” Three months into the program she had lost 10 pounds, but her blood pressure was creeping up, so she was then placed on a low-sodium diet. “Talk

about frustrated. I was trying everything, yet I wasn’t making any real improvements. Failure seemed to be the only option,” she said. “The more I tried to understand what was going on, the more confused I got, so I decided to enroll in a local nutrition education course. Wow. It’s amazing what you can learn when you want to put in the time to learn. The program taught me more in one hour than I have ever learned. It seems that society has us believing that there has to be some magic formula for being healthy when all we really need is to get back to the basics of what foods support the systems of the body and which ones don’t,” Draper said. “In just 30 days of eating these supportive healthy foods, my blood work has improved dramatically: My blood

sugar is normal, my total cholesterol has dropped 60 points, with my LDL down 55 and HDL up 6, and my triglycerides went from 148 to 66. Even my testosterone levels and Vitamin D increased. My blood pressure is normal, and I feel so much better,” Sophia shares. “I am steadily losing weight, and I have gone down 2 dress sizes. Doing what I have been trying to do for over 10 years in 30 days is remarkable. I wouldn’t have believed it if it wasn’t me experiencing it.” “There is so much power in good nutrition,” she states, “but if you are anything like me where all the different diets confuse you, just focus on eating the foods that your body was created to survive off of, and you will survive. I never expected better health in my 60s than what I had in my 40s, and I couldn’t be happier.”

3 Beaufort County siblings get perfect PASS test scores BEAUFORT (AP) — August Rios is pretty good at math, some might say. He did a get a perfect score on the math section of the standardized test used to measure South Carolina’s academic standards, after all. That is why August could tell you how remarkable it is that the number of Beaufort County School District students earning a perfect score on a section of the Palmetto Assessment of State Standards this year doubled compared to last year, to 152. That’s also why August could tell you that it’s even more impressive that three of those students were from the

same family — his. The Okatie Elementary School fifth-grader’s older sister and younger brother both had perfect scores on this year’s PASS test, as well. “I thought it was really exciting that we all got a perfect score,” August said, “because we all could share this experience and recognition with each other.” Adeline Rios, a sixth-grader at Bluffton Middle School, also scored perfect in math, while Nathanael Rios, a fourth-grader at Okatie, earned a perfect score in English language arts. There are five sections to the PASS test: English lan-

guage arts, writing, math, science and social studies. It is taken by all state publicschool students in grades three through five. To achieve a perfect score on the PASS multiple-choice tests — language arts, math, science and social studies — students must answer every question correctly in that subject. For the writing tests, students must earn all possible points on their essays and correctly answer every multiple-choice question. Of the 328,000 state students who took the test in the spring, only 4,647 — 152 of them in Beaufort County — achieved a perfect score on

one or more subjects, according to South Carolina Department of Education spokesman Dino Teppara. The Rios family secret, they say, is reading. Philip and Kimberly Rios have read to each of their six children since they were born. Their three other kids are younger and have not taken the PASS test yet. “I remember laughing at how silly Philip looked reading books to Adeline when she was first born, sitting in her bouncer ... but he never was embarrassed and kept it up daily,” said Kimberly Rios, who is a literacy teacher at Port Royal Elementary

School. “Later, I realized that her hearing the language of books every day for 30 minutes as a baby is what made it so easy for her to read as a kindergartner.” And the family has continued that practice to this day, with each child reading for at least a half hour daily. Now, Adeline — who also scored a perfect mark in writing last year — is reading “Beautiful Creatures,” August is reading “The Secret Garden,” and Nathanael is reading “Jaws.” All three said it has not only made reading and learning enjoyable, but it also helps them grasp and have different views on various subjects.

War vets, kids scarred by gangs help each other CHICAGO (AP) — Jorge Maya sat in a circle at his neighborhood YMCA, a sturdy Afghanistan vet listening to a group of teenage boys scarred by gang violence. There was Sammy, 16, who could describe the times he’d dodged gunfire, once ducking behind a tree. Anderson, 17, who’d been around gangs most of his life. By his teens, he was carrying knives and bricks for protection. And 14-year-old Fernando, who was just 12 when a pistolwielding kid killed his friend. Maya’s own story was much the same. He’d grown up on the same streets, faced the same dangers, known the same temptations. He’d escaped Little Village, the largely Mexican community that had been home. He eventually joined the Army, trading one violent place for another, a war zone far away. And when he returned, he felt lost. Now he was at the Y, sitting with other Afghanistan and Iraq vets and these teens, the two groups bound by a history of violence and trauma — on distant battlefields, nearby street corners or both. They were the first class of a new YMCA-sponsored pilot program, Urban Warriors. For a dozen Saturdays, the two generations opened their hearts and minds, the vets finding new purpose after the war, the kids drawing guidance from mentors who understood their lives. “I told them I’ve been through tough times,” Maya

says. “I’ve been shot. I dropped out of high school. I’d say, ‘Look man, you can do something different with yourself. If I can do it, you can, too.’... There is hope.” The idea for Urban Warriors came from a prison meeting five years ago between two brothers, Eddie and Gabriel Bocanegra. Eddie had joined a gang at age 14, seeing it as a way to protect his younger brothers and sisters. “I thought ... I’d have a say-so. I’d have a right in the community. I’d have a voice,” he says. Instead, he fatally shot someone he mistakenly thought had seriously wounded two gang friends, ending up with a 29-year sentence. One day in the prison visiting room, he and Gabriel discussed their tumultuous upbringing. Gabriel had returned from Iraq with a Bronze Star and post-traumatic stress disorder. When Eddie revealed he’d been depressed, angry and sleepless, his brother said it also sounded very much like PTSD. “Eddie, actually there were some nights that growing up as a kid living in Little Village was probably worse or equally as bad as Iraq,” he remembers Gabriel saying. That notion is supported by research that has concluded kids in violent communities endure trauma similar to soldiers. “They’re in combat zones as well,” says Grady Osten-Garner, a psychologist tracking participants in

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Eddie Bocanegra, co-executive director of youth safety and violence prevention at the YMCA, is seen near his office in Chicago recently. Bocanegra leads the Urban Warriors group at the Chicago YMCA, where war vets and teenage boys scarred by gang activity connect with each other by sharing stories of the violence they have encountered. Urban Warriors at Adler Professional School of Psychology, a partner in the project. “They’re either witnessing violence or they are perpetrating violence or are the victims of violence.” Urban Warriors hopes to reduce stress for both groups, improving their self-esteem and quality of life, says OstenGarner, a retired Army reservist. They will be evaluated periodically. Bocanegra turned his life around after serving 14 years in prison. He’s working on his master’s degree in social work at the University of Chicago. He’s also co-executive director of youth safety and violence prevention at YMCA of Metro Chicago, where he focuses on the psychological impact of brutality on kids in gang-ravaged communities. “Just because we don’t see an injury doesn’t mean an injury doesn’t exist,” he says. “How do we better understand why they’re doing what they’re doing?” For Jorge Maya, hanging out with 15 or so teenage boys

nando, who is still haunted by the shooting that killed his friend. “They’d say, ‘It’s still early. You’re still young, you can make changes.’” Anderson Chaves was already changing when he joined Urban Warriors. As a teen, Chaves became absorbed into gang life. He quickly acquired an arrest record, but last summer, after spending a few months with a sister who lives in a quiet town in Oklahoma, he moved away from his troublesome associations. The vets, he says, have been encouraging. “I identified with the fact that they had done things they weren’t really proud of, and they had made a lot of mistakes,” Chaves says. “Your brain is sculpted by the neighborhood you grew up in, but you can break free.” The second class of Urban Warriors begins soon with a new group of veterans and kids from a black neighborhood. The hope is the vets become lifelong mentors.

was like returning to his past. Growing up, almost all Maya’s friends were gang members. He saw his own big brother shot six times in the neck, dying days later. He was wounded in the same incident — a turning point in his life. “I thought ... I have to start doing better things,” says the 38-year-old veteran. The Army boosted his confidence. But back in Chicago, Maya — now a divorced father of two — struggled with insomnia, sadness and anxiety. With counseling, he’s slowly improving. Urban Warriors, he says, was “like therapy to me.” “It felt great to me when some kid is looking at me like I’m a big brother, and I can try to lead him on a better path,” he says. Every Saturday, they tackled a big question: What does it take to be a man? What do you want your legacy to be? (Not one kid mentioned gangs.) “All we talked about was ‘there’s a better life than what you’re doing now,’” says Fer-

VIGIL FROM PAGE A1 Movement in Sumter,” she said. “I really believe in getting it out because of the hurting and broken families that are in Sumter. I just want them to know that there’s a chapter here that shows love and compassion and has been through what they’re going through at this moment.” Federal legislators established the Day of Remembrance as a salute to the slain through a U.S. House resolution passed in 2007. The edict declares Sept. 25 as the national day of observance for the thousands murdered each year in the U.S., and the millions of bereaved family members and friends affected by those deaths. Thursday marked the fourth year South Carolina has celebrated the day as well as the fourth installment of the event in Sumter. It was the first year the ceremony was coordinated by the Sumter chapter of POMC, an Ohio-based national support group dedicated to the families and friends of victims. The city’s branch is one of nearly 60 POMC groups nationwide and among just two in the Palmetto State. This year’s ceremony was dubbed from “Heartache to Hope.” The sobering commemoration kicked off during the late afternoon with a short march up Main Street. A contingent of about 25 participants began from Central Carolina Technical College’s Legal Studies Center and trekked the quarter-mile route north along the thoroughfare, ending in front of the old courthouse. That’s where a crowd gathered for a memorial service on the pillared steps in front of a structure that once served as the county’s main testament of justice. A slate of local officials, law-enforcement representatives and religious leaders delivered messages of hope amid the overlooking backdrop of the Tuomey Regional Medical Center emergency room. Rev. Franklin Colclough, Sr., a Tuomey chaplain, told the throng how he was affected from losing his oldest brother, a 39-year-old businessman murdered on his doorstep on Mother’s Day in 1972. He urged the mourners to rest upon faith to ease the agony of their respective losses. “The pain never leaves,” he said. “Even though it’s been many, many years, to me it seems like just yesterday. You never quite get beyond it. ... In

We have to trust God in our (struggle).” Richardson told those on hand that more than 100,000 Americans have been murdered in the U.S. since the year of her son’s death. Third Circuit Solicitor Ernest A. “Chip” Finney III set the stage for the candlelit ceremony, which took place as dusk set-

tled into night. Finney then announced the names of more than 40 Sumter County victims of deadly violence. Twenty-two family members of those murder victims stood up as he read the names and gathered together in front of the podium. Some wore anti-violence T-shirts emblazoned with large images of their loved ones. Others carried framed portraits of the fallen Sumterites for whom they were paying tribute.

Many could be seen sobbing as the candles flickered a faint glimmer upon their forlorn faces during the silent moments of reflection. The vigil was held less than a mile from where Ann Mack’s 26-year-old son was gunned down during a birthday party in November 2012. Chauncey Mack was her youngest son and the second of her three children. Ann Mack said she attended last year’s event with her hus-

band, and was so struck by the experience that she joined the fraternity of survivors at POMC earlier this year. “It helps you to grow, and it gives you the opportunity to reach out to others who are going through what you’re going through,” she said. “If you have never been through and faced what we’re facing, you may not be able to relate to somebody. But us who have gone through this, we know how a person feels.”

EDITORIAL

Past realities should inform school district board choices T COMMENTARY

FDR visits South Carolina, then he saves the world

ike millions of others across this great land of ours, I was drawn in and completely captivated by Ken Burns’ and Geoffrey Ward’s latest series, “The Roosevelts: An Intimate History,” which aired recently on PBS. It was 14 hours long, and I took in at least 10 of those. More than 9 million people reportedly watched the first episode. Everything Ken Burns has done — “The Civil War,” “Baseball,” “Jazz,” “The War,” “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea,” “Prohibition,” “The Central Park Five,” and now “The Roosevelts” — makes you realize how most of us have barely scratched the surface of actually knowing our own American history. When you think about it, America would be a lot betGraham ter off if we spent more time learning about our own Osteen journey as a nation rather than watching the collective junk we tend toward — excluding sports and “Jeopardy,” of course. “The Roosevelts” was particularly effective in conveying the personal struggles that Theodore, Franklin and Eleanor each overcame, including their serious tendencies toward depression. They were each incredibly resilient in their own personal ways, all people of action who refused to quit for fear of not making a difference during their lives. A South Carolina angle on all of this involves FDR’s relationship with Bernard Baruch, the great financier and presidential adviser who was born in Camden and spent much of his time at Hobcaw Barony, his plantation on the coast outside of Georgetown. FDR spent a month at Hobcaw in the spring

of 1944, and I came across the text of his press conference from there dated May 6, 1944. You can read the full text here: http:// bit.ly/1uv01wU. I’ve also come across references by various historians about the timing and importance of this visit in terms of final war planning, for it was just one month later — June 6, 1944 — that the Allies invaded Normandy on D-Day. The course of human history was changed forever after a nice, restful visit to the beautiful South Carolina coast. How about that for tourism promotion? FDR’s famously positive attitude and ability to connect with the vast majority of Americans on a deep, personal level set him apart, which is why it’s worth noting that his close friend and adviser, Bernard Baruch, had a similarly resilient, realistic but ultimately hopeful attitude about all the great challenges that occurred during his lifetime. One of Baruch’s most often-quoted passages is titled, “Why I Still Believe in the Future.” You can find a complete version of it here: http://on.wsj.com/1pk3APC. When we get overwhelmed with the terror, ugliness and craziness in the world — which is what happens to people who watch too much cable news and believe everything they read on the Internet — it’s important to consider how these previous generations dealt with similarly daunting challenges from crazy, nihilistic human beings intent on doing evil. There’s really nothing new, and it’s all about how we handle it as a nation. Graham Osteen is Editor-At-Large of The Sumter Item. He can be reached at graham@ theitem.com.

he election of a new Sumter School District board of trustees is fast approaching, and as the voters assess the candidates, we feel compelled to review some past history dating back to April of 2011 when Randolph Bynum was hired as the first superintendent of the new consolidated school district. Bynum came to Sumter from the Atlanta Public Schools, still reeling from the worst testing cheating scandal in American public education history. To top that off, the board passed over the best candidate, Harrison Goodman, the assistant superintendent of administration and operations for Spartanburg School District 1, one of the best school districts in the state. Not an auspicious start. Before too much longer things got worse after then-board chairman Larry Addison crowed when the board chose Bynum: “From the very start, Bynum jumped out at everybody with his academics and his leadership of a large district.” He didn’t jump enough to satisfy the board vice chairwoman at the time, Karen Michalik, who voted against Bynum along with Monica Squires, who is no longer on the board. Michalik is running for reelection along with board chairman Keith Schultz, who voted for Bynum, as did trustee Patty Wilson, also running for re-election. All face opposition. One would think any incumbent board member who voted for Bynum and subjected the new district to three years of discord, divisiveness, dissent and upheaval would gracefully step aside and make room for a new group of board members. Perhaps the voters will assist in bringing in new board members untainted by the Bynum regime. Michalik is one incumbent from the Bynum era who deserves re-election to the board.

She has stuck by her principles after refusing to vote for Bynum in 2011 and recently opposed pay and per diem increases for the board because such hikes “didn’t pass my personal litmus test,” she told The Sumter Item. “Every time I go to vote, I always ask myself, ’What will it do for the classroom? How will it affect teachers? How will it affect students? And the second question I ask is, ‘How would the people who elected me vote?’ I don’t believe the public would support giving us a bonus at this time.” What a novel idea — she’s trying to save taxpayers money. Good for her. Incidentally, incumbent board chairman Schultz voted for the pay hikes. Lest we forget, it took a grassroots uprising composed of teachers, parents, students and taxpayers to rid the district of Bynum and his two overpaid assistants. (Of course Bynum walked away with more than $100,000 in severance pay.) These protesters stepped up and exercised their First Amendment rights by flooding The Sumter Item’s opinion page with letters to the editor along with other public protests and outrage over the top-down, overbearing management style of Bynum and his cronies that led to experienced and dedicated teachers leaving in droves along with many students after they were treated like lab rats for a controversial teacher-accountability program developed by the Broad Urban Superintendents Academy. Eventually the board came to its senses and gave Bynum his walking papers. But severe damage had been done to public education in Sumter County. That cannot and should not be repeated if the voters are vigilant in selecting a better board than the one that subjected the new district to the tender mercies of the Bynum regime.

Senate battle royal in the purple state of Iowa

RBANDALE, Iowa — The Machine Shed restaurant, where the waitresses wear bib overalls and suggest a cinnamon roll the size of a loaf of bread as a breakfast appetizer, sells a root beer called Dang!, bandages made to look like bacon strips, and signs that proclaim “I love you more than bacon.” For Joni Ernst, however, the apposite sign reads “No one ever injured their eyesight by looking on the bright side.” She, nourished by a cinnamon roll, is preparing for a bus tour taking her Senate candidacy to all of Iowa’s 99 counties, and she seems to love campaigning even more than bacon, not that any proper Iowa farm girl — her description of herself — would publicly rank bacon second to anything. Ernst, a 44-year-old state senator, or Bruce Braley, a 56-year-old four-term Democratic congressman, will replace Sen. Tom Harkin, who is retiring after five terms. Of the five Senate contests in purple states — Iowa, Virginia, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Colorado — this is currently the closest: The Real Clear Politics average of polls shows a tie (Ernst ahead by 0.2 percentage points). Which should make Republicans

COMMENTARY anxious as they try to take control of the Senate and as they contemplate the 2016 presidential landscape. Although Iowa has voted Democratic in six of the last seven presidential elections, the Ernst-Braley contest should not be this close. Only 38 percent of Iowans approve of Barack Obama’s performance. Braley, a past president of an Iowa trial lawyers association, is as awkGeorge ward as Ernst is ebulWill lient when campaigning. And the Democratic Party’s single idea — the trope that Republicans live to wage a “war on women” — leaves Ernst bemused: “I am a woman, and I have been to war, and this is not war.” A 5-foot-2 grandmother, she is a National Guard lieutenant colonel who served in Iraq. Although outspent by her chief opponent 10-to-1 in the first quarter of this year, she won a five-candidate primary with 54 percent of the vote, propelled by an ad in which she said that

having grown up castrating pigs, she would be able to cut Washington spending. She does, however, genuflect at the altar of Iowa’s established religion, the Church of Ethanol, a federally mandated Iowa sacrament made from corn. The Ernst of the primary season talked about the Harley in her driveway, the pistol in her purse and the possibility of impeaching the president. Today her less exotic persona talks about the feeble economy, the perils of Obamacare and Braley’s record, including his pride in having given in the House the culminating argument for Obamacare, which he still thinks is splendid. Then there is his interesting path to his current position on the Keystone XL pipeline, which he favored before he opposed it. In 2012 he voted for construction, and for removing the requirement that the president approve construction. He now opposes Keystone, which makes his position conveniently congruent with that of Tom Steyer, the billionaire who is dispersing millions of dollars to support candidates who share his opposition to Keystone. Steyer’s NextGen Climate super PAC has spent $2.6 million attacking Ernst. Politics is an inherently transactional business, but Braley’s

fretting about money in politics — he is operatically indignant about the Koch brothers — is notably selective. So far, Ernst’s campaign and independent groups advocating on her behalf have spent about $2 million less on ads than Braley’s campaign and supporting groups have spent. Braley, speaking at a fundraiser to other trial lawyers in Texas, and evidently forgetting that nowadays cellphones are also video cameras, was recorded lamenting that Republican control could put Judiciary’s gavel in the hands of “a farmer from Iowa who never went to law school.” And Braley, this year’s leader in unfortunate ad libs, probably should not have shared with voters the misery he experienced last autumn when, because of the government shutdown, there were no fresh towels in the House gym. Iowa is one of two states — hello, Mississippi — that have never elected a woman to a federal office or governorship. In other circumstances, might Braley consider this, too, evidence of a war on women? George Will’s email address is georgewill@washpost.com. © 2014, Washington Post Writers Group

THE SUMTER ITEM

Dan Krewson, president of Team Image Marketing, shows off some of his products for the “Snack Like a Super Hero” campaign.

HEALTHY FROM PAGE A1 current products are pop-up bins for apples and a cardboard stand-up that is displayed alongside the fruit. Both feature Spider-Man right now, but the slogan, “Snack Like A Super Hero,” will work with other Marvel characters, too, Tomlinson said. “It was one of several ideas I sent them, and it works for everything,” he said. The process began when Sage Fruit contacted Tomlinson about creating a campaign using Marvel characters to promote healthful habits. He designed the packaging and came up with the slogan. The stand-up even includes a voice motion sensor. “They sent me a whole selection of chips, and I pieced the audio together,” Tomlinson said. “It turned out pretty well, and in my opinion, is one of the cooler things we’ve done here.” Once Sage Fruit gave the go-ahead, the design information was sent to Team Image Marketing. That company works with Sumter Packaging to get the design dye cut and the images attached to the corrugated cardboard for display. “The neat thing about a customer like Dan (Krewson, president of the marketing business) is he pushes you,” said Ben DeSollar, president of Sumter Packaging. “When you stretch your capabilities in one area, you can push everywhere else in a creative way, and it allows us to be a lot better with all our customers.” It’s an honor for the campaign his company worked on to be nominated, DeSollar said, and he likes the mission of this one.

“We’ve won awards in the past, but we’re very excited out this one,” he said. “I have kids, and they eat healthy at home. But it’s nice to have something that reinforces that out there.” Once Sumter Packaging completed its step in the process, the product was sent back to Team Image for assembly and shipping. This was the first time the company installed a voice chip, Krewson said. “This opportunity is good for us,” he said. “If this works out, it will add another dimension to what we do.” He, too, is pleased with the nomination and the campaign’s goal. “It always feels good to be recognized, (and) I think all children should try to eat healthy,” Krewson said. The pop-up bins and displays are then shipped to supermarkets to do their jobs — hold and advertise Sage Fruit produce. The three Sumter companies have also worked together on products for Smithfield, Bing Energy Drinks and Ekrich through the years, Krewson said.

PENNY TAX FROM PAGE A1 is a national program that involves the U.S. Department of Transportation investing money in road, rail, transit and port projects across the country. The county has applied for TIGER grants in the past and recently was denied. Despite the setback, grants can be applied for on an unlimited basis, according to Mixon, as there are new funding cycles every year. He added that the $7.5 million set to go to the area if the penny tax passes could show a strong match to any TIGER grant. In the most recent grant application, the city was asking for a $13.6 million grant, which could expand the project to a much larger scale. “We will continue to apply for the TIGER grant, particularly on Manning Avenue, with the hopes that the penny tax will be the match for a greater number with which we can do a lot of really interesting things,” McGregor said. “Part of your package would have to show a significant match to show that we’re doing a bunch of it on our own.” Also proposed in the upcoming penny tax is right-of-

way improvements to the Wilson Hall Road and Wise Drive intersection. Wilson Hall and Wise already have three lanes each, but Mixon said that the turn lane in all directions is too abrupt to help with the flow of traffic. He added that part of the project will involve expanding the turn lane by “300 to 500 feet,” allowing a lane to keep moving while the turn lanes are waiting, rather than slowing down traffic with drivers who are trying to get into the turn lane but can’t. Aside from having a major school right on the intersection with Wilson Hall and its roughly 800 students, new businesses in the surrounding area have brought increased traffic that have choked out the flow at peak driving times. “Twenty years ago we didn’t have that problem because we didn’t have that kind of volume down there,” Mixon said, “but you have to grow with the time. The improvements are not for the school. It’s for the traveling public in those areas, but it’s because of the school there’s congestion.”

IN THE MOUNTAINS

ARIES (March 21-April 19): There is plenty EUGENIA LAST happening around you that you’re oblivious to. Question contracts and negotiate as best you can, but keep in mind that you may have to give up one thing in order to get another. A change will lead to improvement. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): An emotional situation has the potential to spin out of control. Use past experience and a little pressure to ensure you don’t end up losing something or someone that means a lot to you. Keep things simple. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Networking, socializing and hosting an event at your place should be considered. Regardless of what you’re trying to accomplish, interacting with creative people will help you find innovative solutions to any setbacks you face. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Kindness and consideration will go a long way. Your ability to put people at ease and to find solutions to problems will be impressive. An unusual event will bring you in touch with someone who will brighten your life and knowledge. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Listen to complaints closely before you voice your opinion. You may think you know what’s best for others, but sometimes you need to let the ones you love figure things out without your help. Focus on personal change, not changing others. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A day trip or getting involved in a community event will result in meeting people who can change your life or the way you think. Spice up your life by getting rid of some of your stale routines and trying something invigorating.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Someone from your past will influence you. Attend a reunion or visit places you used to frequent. Don’t be afraid to ask for favors or to offer your services, skills or knowledge. An adjustment can make your life better. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your emotions will mount. Avoid getting worked up over a professional incident. You’re best to bide your time, focus on home and creative endeavors and your own personal success for the time being. Renovations will bring you satisfaction. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Put your energy into home improvements and money matters that can help you build your assets and lighten overhead. Don’t let a personal relationship stand between you and what you want to do. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Someone unexpected will speak up on your behalf or in favor of what you want to do and who you are. Don’t shy away from reaching out to achieve your dreams. Practical application is important, but so is reaching for the stars. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Listen carefully to an offer, but don’t spend on something or someone if you don’t feel comfortable doing so. Put more into self-improvement than trying to get someone else to make adjustments. A change in your occupation could be beneficial. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Ask questions and you will find out what you need to know. Dealing with money matters, investments and legal settlements will bring you closer to a workable solution or deal. Put time aside to nurture an important relationship.

Today: Cloudy. Winds east-northeast 6-12 mph. Rain, some heavy. Monday: Humid with rain, heavy at times. Winds east 4-8 mph.

South Carolina running back Mike Davis (28) looks for running room against Missouri during the first half of Saturday’s game at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia.

13th-ranked Gamecocks upset by revenge-minded Missouri 21-20 BY JOHN BRASIER Special to The Sumter Item COLUMBIA – After the University of South Carolina pulled off the Missouri Miracle last year to beat the Missouri Tigers, Mizzou returned the favor with the Carolina Comeback on Saturday at Williams-Brice

Stadium. Trailing 20-7 midway through the fourth quarter, Missouri used two 1-yard touchdown runs by Russell Hansbrough, the final coming with 1:36 left in the game, to beat the Gamecocks 21-20 in front of a sellout crowd of 83, 493. The Gamecocks appeared

to have clinched the triumph on Pharoh Cooper’s leaping 23-yard touchdown catch with 7:25 remaining that gave them a 20-7 lead. But Missouri responded with a 1-yard TD run by Russell Hansbrough that followed a long pass from quarterback Maty Mauk to receiver Bud Sasser. The Ti-

gers got one final chance, taking over at their own 49yard line with 4:40 left. The Tigers converted a fourth-and-1 at the USC 39. Mizzou had one more fourth down – fourth and goal at the 1 – when Hansbrough went in for the touchdown. With the loss, the Game-

cocks (3-2, 2-2 SEC) lost control of their own destiny in the SEC East race. USC plays at Kentucky, a victor over Vanderbilt, next Saturday night. The defending East champion Tigers (4-1, 1-0) are now 1-2 against USC since joining the SEC in

CLEMSON FOOTBALL

Tigers show no signs of trouble with new QB FROM STAFF REPORTS

The advantage became 20-0 for Clemson next drive after Lakip booted a 45-yarder with under 10 minutes to go in the half. Lakip went 2-for-2 on field goals and 4-for-4 on PATs a week after struggling against Florida State. The Tigers defense more than did its part in establishing the big lead as well. UNC was held to just 24 yards on its first five offensive drives. The Tar Heels finally broke through after Lakip’s second FG, though. Quarterback Marquise Williams completed four passes and ran for a first down as UNC drove 75 yards

CLEMSON – Welcome to the Deshaun Watson era of Clemson football. The Tigers quarterback completed 27 of 36 passes for 435 yards and six touchdowns – most by a true freshman, freshman and any QB in school history as Clemson hammered North Carolina 50-35 on Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Clemson. With the win, the Tigers improved to 2-2 on the season and 1-1 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Clemson hosts THE ASSOCIATED PRESS N.C. State next Saturday at Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson (4) throws a touchdown pass 3:30 p.m. UNC fell to 2-2 and against North Carolina in the first half of Saturday’s game in Clemson. 0-1.

The new era got started with a bang as Clemson built a 20-point lead on the arm of its young signal caller. On just the second offensive play for the Tigers, Watson found Germone Hopper streaking up the middle of the field uncovered for a 74-yard catch-and-run that put Clemson up 7-0 with12:34 left in the opening quarter. After a 28-yard field goal from Ammon Lakip made it 10-0, the Watson/Hopper connection proved golden again – this time for 51 yards on third and 10. Of Watson’s 191 yards passing in the first half, 125 went to the redshirt sophomore receiver and both TDs.

Europe leads Ryder Cup 10-6

Kurt Busch has Chase hopes on line in 500th start at AAA 400

BY STEPHEN WILSON The Associated Press GLENEAGLES, Scotland— It’s 10-6 going into the final day of the Ryder Cup — again. This time, Europe’s in the lead and it’s the United States needing a stunning Sunday comeback. Two years after the “Miracle of Medinah,” where Europe overcome a 10-6 deficit to win 14 1/2-13 1/2, the home team leads by the same score after dominating the foursomes matches at Gleneagles on Saturday. But Europe, too, know what it’s like to throw away a 10-6 lead. Back in 1999 in

Brookline, the U.S. overturned that same score to win 14 1/2-13 1/2. Europe, which has captured seven of the last nine Ryder Cups, needs four points from Sunday’s 12 singles matches to retain the trophy and 4 1/2 points to win it outright. “We know it’s possible,” Europe star Justin Rose said. “The finish line is nowhere near yet. Still have 4 1/2 points to earn tomorrow. That’s four or five guys that need to go out and play great golf, and that’s nearly half the team. So the way I see it, we have some work to

Busch said. Busch steeled his nerves inside the ol’ No. 97 John Deere Ford and finished ahead of Jarrett and one spot behind Earnhardt. Busch was a solid 18th in his first career NASCAR Cup start on Sept. 24, 2000 at Dover International Speedway. He flashed some of that early Outlaw spirit, grinding and fighting — and using his natural talent — to prove car owner Jack Roush may have been right in fasttracking the 22-year-old Busch to NASCAR’s elite series.

Seminoles rally past Wolfpack 56-41 RALEIGH, N.C. — Jameis Winston threw for 365 yards and four touchdowns in his return from a suspension, helping No. 1 Florida State rally from 17 down to beat North Carolina State 56-41 on Saturday night. The Heisman Trophy winner directed four straight second-half touchdown drives to help the reigning national champions fight through and extend the nation’s longest active winning streak to a program-record 20 games. Rashad Greene hauled in 11 passes for 125 yards and the go-ahead score for the Seminoles (4-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), while Karlos Williams ran for three scores — the last with 2:07 left to seal it.

BLACKSBURG, Va. — Michael Brewer threw two touchdown passes Saturday to lead Virginia Tech to a 35-17 victory over Western Michigan. The win stopped a twogame slide for the Hokies (32), who hadn’t won since their victory over then-No. 8 Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio. AKRON 21 PITT 20

SEC ROUNDUP

Texas A&M holds off Hogs for 35-28 overtime victory ARLINGTON, Texas — Kenny Hill threw for 386 yards and four touchdowns, with a 25-yarder to Malcome Kennedy on the first play of overtime, and sixth-ranked Texas A&M rallied from a two-touchdown deficit to beat Arkansas 35-28 on Saturday. The Aggies (5-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) trailed 28-14 going into the fourth quarter before Hill threw two long scoring passes — 86 yards to Edward Pope and 59 yards to Josh Reynolds, the later with 2:08 left only two plays after Arkansas missed a field goal. After Hill’s quick strike in overtime, Arkansas faced fourth-and-1 when a handoff went to Alex Collins, who finished with 131 yards rushing. But Collins was stuffed at the line by defensive end Julien Obioha to end the game. Hill completed 21 of 41 passes.

Texas A&M is 5-0 for the first time since 2001. Arkansas (3-2, 0-2) has lost 14 consecutive SEC games. (5) AUBURN 45 LOUISIANA TECH 17

AUBURN, Ala. — Nick Marshall threw three touchdown passes and rushed for 105 yards to lead No. 5 Auburn to a 45-17 victory over Louisiana Tech on Saturday.

Clemson’s Germone Hopper (5) makes his way to the end zone for his second touchdown of the first half as North Carolina’s Brian Walker (28) and Donnie Miles (15) give chase during the Tigers’ 50-35 victory on Saturday in Clemson.

TIGERS FROM PAGE B1 to the end zone. Williams found Mack Hollins for a 17-yard TD to cut the deficit to 20-7. Williams was not so fortunate the next time he had the ball as an intentional grounding penalty in the end zone forced a safety as Clemson took a 22-7 lead into the half. The first mistake from Watson came on the Tigers first drive of the second half as he was picked off at the UNC 44. The turnover led to a 42-yard scoring strike from Mike Trubisky to T.J. Thorpe as the Tar Heels cut the lead to just one score, 22-14. But Watson rebounded in a big way. He went 4-for-4 on Clemson’s ensuing drive, hitting sophomore wideout Mike Williams for two big plays, including a 24-yard score as he

became the first true freshman QB to pass for three scores in a game for Clemson. He was far from finished, however. Watson found Williams again next drive for his fourth score and a 32-yard hookup with Artavis Scott at the end of the third quarter put Watson in elite company, tying a school record for most TD tosses by any freshman. But the Tar Heels didn’t go down easy. Quinshad Davis’ 2-yard TD reception on fourth and goal kept UNC close in the third quarter and Ryan Switzer’s 75-yard scamper on a screen pass kept it a two-score game late into the fourth. But Watson’s final record-breaking TD pass finally put the game out of reach – this one a 5-yarder to Jordan Leggett with 5:56 left. A 9-yard rushing TD by UNC’s Elijah Hood completed the scoring.

USC FROM PAGE B1 2012. The Gamecock defense kept constant pressure on Mauk, who entered the game with 14 touchdown passes, completed only 6 of 19 throws for just 57 yards in the first half. Mauk was sacked twice in the opening half and forced to throw out of bounds several times while retreating from the USC pass rush. Mike Davis’ 17-yard TD late in the first-half gave the Gamecocks the lead for good, 10-7. Elliott Fry tacked on a 41-yard field goal in the third quarter, in which the USC defense allowed only one first down. The Gamecocks moved 59 yards on five plays in only 1:21 in the go-ahead scoring drive. Fry also booted a 33-yard field goal in the first quarter that cut an early Missouri lead to 7-3. Missouri’s only touchdown was set up by the Gamecocks’ failure to convert a fourth-and-one play on their own side of the field on their first drive of the game. Brandon Wiles was stopped for no gain at the USC 42. Russell Hansbrough put the Tigers ahead with an 18-yard run.

Pittsburgh started the day a game behind first-place St. Louis, which played at Arizona later. The Pirates have already clinched at least a wild card and would host that game on Wednesday. Jordy Mercer homered, and Neil Walker drove in three runs with a bases-loaded single and a triple as the Pirates pulled ahead 6-4 but couldn’t hold on.

CHICAGO — As the Kansas City Royals celebrated in the clubhouse, George Brett watched from a distance. The Hall of Famer stood near the entrance, doing his best not to get soaked. The last time the Royals had reason to celebrate, Brett led them to a World Series championship nearly three decades ago. That changed Friday night. Kansas City clinched a playoff spot for the first time in 29 years, beating the Chicago White Sox 3-1 behind seven scoreless innings from Jeremy Guthrie. Kansas City secured at least a wild card and ended the longest active postseason drought among the major North American sports leagues. The last time the Royals made it to the playoffs, they beat St. Louis in the 1985 World Series. Small-market Kansas City endured more than its share of losing in recent years. But it contended into September last season and kicked down the playoff door on Friday. The celebration started right after catcher Salvador Perez squeezed Michael Taylor’s foul popup for the final out. The Royals mobbed Perez near the plate, with the dugout and bullpen quickly joining the party.

Then the right-hander did the best he could to beat the Padres. Now Peavy will sit and wait to see if he pitches again this year — even if it means getting called on in next week’s wild=card game.

With shadows stretching across the field after the 4:07 p.m. first pitch, Strasburg (14-11) spotted his fastball at 97 mph and mixed in breaking balls that confounded a Marlins lineup missing the injured Giancarlo Stanton.

Keffer off to stellar start at Southern Wesleyan University

ohn Keffer had an impressive college golf debut. The lone freshman on the Southern Wesleyan University roster, Keffer tied for 11th overall in the Emmanuel Fall Invitational. He shot 150 (76-74) to tie for third among the Warriors. “I did better than I thought I would,” the Sumter High School graduate said. Keffer said the golfers played a practice round the day before the tournament. KEFFER He was taken by “how hilly it was and how the greens reacted to how the ball came in,” he said. “The greens were pretty slick at times. They were soft. Pretty much hit it toward the pin, and you’d be OK.” He didn’t miss any fairways the first day of the event, he said, and missed maybe three or four the second day. He bogeyed on a couple of par 5s, he said, and was wide on makeable putts, including a 5-footer.

He has been tweaking his putting approach with the help of his golf coach in Sumter. “I was standing too close to the ball,” he said. “It would cause me to pull it and miss left.” Keffer played in three tournaments, including two Barbara qualifiers, during the sumBoxleitner mer to prepare for college. “I really just worked on getting my game under control,” he said. He advanced in a qualifying round for the South Carolina Golf Association Amateur Championship by carding a 75 (37-38). But he failed to make the cut after shooting a 165 (84-81). Because he was among Southern Wesleyan’s top performers at the first tournament, Keffer said he didn’t have to qualify for the next event.

Panthers D out to prove Steelers game an anomaly BY STEVE REED The Associated Press CHARLOTTE — Defense tackle Star Lotulelei says the Carolina Panthers’ defense will be on a mission today against the Baltimore Ravens. The Panthers surrendered 264 yards rushing in a 37-19 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night, a headscratching number for a defense that finished No. 2 in the league last year and had aspirations of being the NFL’s top defense this season. “We are just coming out to prove that we’re a better defense than that,” Lotulelei said Wednesday. “We know that we are. We want to show everybody, including ourselves, that we’re a better defense than what we just showed.” After allowing only five teams to rush for 100 yards last season, the Panthers let Pittsburgh’s Le’Veon Bell run for 147 yards and LeGarrette Blount to rush for 118 — in the same game. It marked the first time since 2001 the Panthers allowed two running backs to gain 100 yards in a game. That’s the same year Carolina finished 1-15 under George Seifert. Panthers coach Ron Rivera described the effort as “uncharacteristic” of his defense. But the fourth-year coach sees the problems as correctable. “The biggest thing, a couple of times we got knocked out of our creases and allowed the double teams to work,” Rivera said. “When that happens, you’ve got to do one of two things: hold your point a little bit better, or stay in your crease as a Dlineman. And as a linebacker, when you see that, you’ve got to get downhill now. And we just didn’t do that very well.” The talk this week has been about “gap integrity” or players being where they’re sup-

Pittsburgh quarrterback Ben Roethlisberger (7) is sacked by Carolina’s Mario Addison (97) and Star Lotulelei (98) during the Steelers’ 37-19 victory last Sunday in Charlotte. Those kind of plays were few and far between for the Panthers, who hope for a better showing today when they face Baltimore and Carolina’s alltime leader in receiving in Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith. posed to be. “The biggest thing is everybody doing their job,” Lotulelei said. “We had a lot of guys doing a little more than they need to. It was a matter of getting your job done first and then helping. Everybody was trying to make a play

and sometimes that is a good thing. But it can also hurt you, too.” The Ravens should prove to be a formidable test for the Panthers. They not only beat the Steelers 26-6 two weeks ago, but enter the weekend

ranked ninth in the league despite parting ways with running back Ray Rice, who was released after a video surfaced of the running back punching his then-fiancee in the face in a hotel elevator. Justin Forsett, Bernard Pierce and, most recently,

rookie Lorenzo Taliaferro have filled in admirably for Baltimore (2-1). The Ravens are averaging 4.6 yards per carry. The Panthers, who are already without Pro Bowl defensive end Greg Hardy, might be without outside linebacker Thomas Davis, one of the team’s top defenders. Davis missed practice Wednesday with a hip injury. Rivera said Davis will be reevaluated on Friday. If Davis can’t play, A.J. Klein and Chase Blackburn would split time filling in. That could put the Panthers in a difficult situation on passing downs given that neither is as fast as Davis. Baltimore’s tight ends and running backs have accounted for 43 of the team’s 75 receptions this season, so this is game where Davis would normally see a lot of action. Defensive tackle Kawann Short sees Carolina’s struggles against the run Sunday night as an anomaly rather than the start of a pattern. He points out that the Panthers gave up 149 yards rushing against Buffalo in Week 2 before going 12-2 the rest of the season and winning the NFC South. “Sometimes you need that to humble yourself,” Short said. “Last year, we lost the first couple games and it set us back and we knew what we were capable of being. ... We know what we’re capable of this year. We have to fight and stay together.” It will help if Carolina’s offense can control the ball — something they weren’t able to do against the Steelers. Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams returned to practice Wednesday after missing the last two games with a hamstring injury. However, fullback Mike Tolbert is out eight weeks with a hairline fracture in his leg and Williams’ primary backup Jonathan Stewart didn’t practice because of a severely sprained knee.

Saints rebound from first loss by whipping Wardlaw 72-28 JOHNSTON – Clarendon Hall’s varsity football team bounced back from its first loss of the season with a 72-28 victory over Wardlaw Academy on Friday at the Wardlaw Field. The Saints, who improved to 4-1 overall and 3-1 in SCISA 8-man Region II, trailed 16-6 after the first quarter. However, they scored 30 in the second quarter to lead 36-22 at halftime.

NASCAR FROM PAGE B1 Fast forward 14 years, 499 career starts, and one championship later, and Busch is back at Dover, still grinding, still fighting, only this time to prove he belongs in the next round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. When the green flag drops Sunday, Busch will become the 35th NASCAR driver with 500 career Cup starts. Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Matt Kenseth and Dale Earnhardt Jr. are the only fulltime drivers with more starts than Busch. Hall of Famer Richard Petty tops the list with 1,185. Busch has collected quite a resume, including 25 wins and that 2004 title. Oh, he’s also burned through more teams than he ever expected, in large part because of, at times, his prickly personality. “It’s been a great ride,” Busch said. “There’s still so much more to do.” Busch was all smiles this weekend reflecting on the big wins and milestone achievements, rattling them off in great detail as if they had all

three touchdowns, ran for a 2-point conversion and passed for another. Daniel Pappas added 53 yards and a TD on nine carries, and Cody Armstrong had 97 yards rushing and a TD on four carries. Matthew Corbett led the defense with two touchdowns, returning a fumble 86 yards and an interception 85 yards. He also recovered another fumble. Cody Armstrong had 13 tackles, while Trey Thomas had 12 tackles, a blocked punt and a forced fumble. 76ERS ACQUIRE BOGANS IN TRADE

PHILADELPHIA — The Philadel-

phia 76ers acquired guard Keith Bogans and a 2018 second-round draft pick from the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday in exchange for their 2015 second-round pick. The Cavaliers will receive a trade exception of approximately $5.3 million without taking up a roster spot. The 76ers’ pick is protected. The Cavaliers acquired Bogans from Boston on Thursday night. The 6-foot-5 guard has averaged 6.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 21.6 minutes in 671 games in 10 seasons with Orlando, Charlotte, Houston, Milwaukee, San Antonio, Chicago, Brooklyn and Boston. He played

six games for Boston last season, averaging 2.0 points. HORNETS’ TAYLOR BANNED FROM TEAM ACTIVITIES

Mickelson takes a seat in Ryder Cup BY DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press GLENEAGLES, Scotland— The tee shots were in play, and Phil Mickelson strode down the first fairway in the Ryder Cup like he has done so many times before. He was in full uniform. He wore golf shoes. And he inserted earphones to listen to the radio coverage of the matches. He wasn’t a player on Saturday. He was a cheerleader. For the first time in 10 appearances at the Ryder Cup — the most of any American in history — Mickelson spent an entire day without hitting a single shot. U.S. captain Tom Watson sat him out in the morning, and then he chose not to play Mickelson and Keegan Bradley in the afternoon. The last time Mickelson played only two matches going into the final round was in 1995 at Oak Hill when he was a Ryder Cup rookie. Asked to comment as he walked down the fairway to watch, Mickelson said, “Whatever it takes to win.” “I want our team to win, and whatever we have to do is all I care about,” he said. When asked whose decision it was not to play, Mickelson smiled and kept walking. Mickelson and Bradley rallied to take down Rory McIlroy and Sergio Garcia in the opening session of fourballs on Friday, but they lost badly in foursomes when Bradley couldn’t keep it in the short grass and Mickelson couldn’t make enough putts.

U.S. vice captain Steve Stricker, left, and Phil Mickelson watch from the sixth tee box during Saturday’s foursomes match on the second day of the Ryder Cup in Gleneagles, Scotland. Mickelson was benched. “They didn’t perform all that well yesterday afternoon,” Watson said. “They really wanted to go today. These are the best pairings for alternate shot.” Watson also benched Webb Simpson for all of Saturday. Simpson was his final captain’s pick who lobbied Watson through text message the morning he was chosen. The decision backfired on Watson when he sent out Rickie Fowler and Ryder Cup rookie Jimmy Walker for a fourth straight match Saturday afternoon. They were the only Americans to go 36 holes both days. Walker, in particular, looked weary, and

RYDER CUP FROM PAGE B1 do.” The Americans said they are up to the challenge. “Everyone in our team room believes that we can do that,” U.S. rookie Jordan Spieth said. “They have to win 4 1/2 points out of 12 matches. Brookline was 10-6, Medinah was 10-6 the other way. Hopefully, we get some good pairings and some guys out early to go make a move.” Saturday’s play began with Europe leading 5-3. The United States won 2 1/2 points in the morning fourballs to cut the lead to 6 1/2-5 1/2. Then the Europeans seized command in the afternoon, winning three of the alternate-shot matches and halving the fourth. It was the second day in a row Europe grabbed 3 1/2 points from the foursomes. Lee Westwood and rookie Jamie Donaldson got the ball rolling, beating Zach Johnson and Matt Kuchar 2 and 1 in the first foursomes. Then, Graeme McDowell

he even shanked a shot on the third hole from the fairway. Graeme McDowell and Victor Dubuisson made five birdies against no bogeys, a score that would have beaten anyone in foursomes. They were 4 up after six holes and sailed to a 5-and-4 victory. “Jimmy Walker hit a shot that not many people in this media center would be proud of,” McDowell said. “I mean, that had to be tiredness. It had to be. I said to Victor, ‘Listen, let’s show these guys how energetic we are ... and really try not to give them an inch.’” Mickelson asked to play in

foursomes on Friday and Watson agreed. Lefty asked to play on Saturday and Watson turned him down. “I came back up to the clubhouse and walked to him and Keegan and Webb and said they would be sitting in the afternoon,” Watson said. “I expected exactly what Phil said to me. He said, ‘We can get it done.’ I said, ‘Well, the way this golf course sets up, the four teams I put out there give us the best chance.’ He lobbied again. He text me. He said, ‘Give us a chance.’ I had to tell him no.” Mickelson and Bradley formed America’s best team two years ago at Medinah

when they went 3-0, asking to sit out the final session to be fresh for singles. Both wound up losing their singles matches as Europe rallied from a 10-6 deficit to win. Mickelson, a five-time major champion, has not won a tournament since the British Open last summer at Muirfield, though he finished one shot behind McIlroy in the PGA Championship last month at Valhalla.

and rookie Victor Dubuisson extended the lead to 8 1/2-5 1/2, beating Ricky Fowler and Jimmy Walker 5 and 4. Dubuisson has won both of his matches in a sensational debut, while Fowler remains without a win in his Ryder Cup career. The third win of the afternoon came from Rory McIlroy and Sergio Garcia, who defeated Jim Furyk and Hunter Mahan 3 and 2. It was the marquee duo’s first win in three matches after two halves. “It’s nice to put that first win on the board,” McIlroy said. In the final match, Rose and Martin Kaymer halved with U.S. rookies Spieth and Patrick Reed. With the Americans 1-up going to the final hole, Europe got up and down from a greenside bunker. Rose holed a 5-foot birdie putt to earn the half point. Earlier, Reed lipped out a 2-footer on the 16th, then bent over with his hands on his knees in despair for sev-

eral seconds. Reed was in the same bunker as Kaymer on No. 18 but had a bad lie and couldn’t hit the ball toward the hole. Spieth missed a potential match-winning putt from long range. The morning session featured a record-breaking performance by Rose and Henrik Stenson, who finished with 10 straight birdies to beat Bubba Watson and Matt Kuchar 3 and 2. The European duo’s 12under score was a Ryder Cup record in fourballs. The 21-under total for the two

pairings was also a record. “It’s hard to reflect on it when you’re playing, but 21 birdies in 16 holes between us, that’s something special,” Stenson said. “It might be a highlight to put on the big screen with the grandkids one day.” After Rose and Stenson stretched the overall score to 6-3, the Americans surged back, and came close to leveling the score by the end of the morning. Jim Furyk and Hunter Mahan beat Westwood and Donaldson 4 and 3. Spieth

and Reed — winning their second match in two days — took down Thomas Bjorn and Kaymer 5 and 3. Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker earned a half-point against McIlroy and Ian Poulter, bringing the U.S. within a point going into the afternoon foursomes. With an eagle putt to win the match on the 18th, Fowler left it just short. Left out of both sessions was Phil Mickelson, marking the first time the American has been omitted from an entire day’s play in 10 Ryder Cups.

The Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce is going porchsittin’ 12 better on Thursday by hosting the annual Porches of Sumter event in the Heart of Sumter neighborhood.

and Hampton avenues. The event, Milligan said, is not a fundraiser, just a fun, social event that allows participants to get up close looks at homes they may have admired while passing by, meet the homeowners and enjoy the company of friends and neighbors. It’s aimed at promoting the community, and it’s the fourth year for Porches of Sumter; it grows more popular each time it’s presented, Milligan said. “People start looking forward to this when it gets close to the end of summer,” she said.

This will mark the first production of the idea outside of New York City where it was introduced several years ago by the National Broadcasting Company. It has been given in leading churches of New York and is highly praised by the ministry.

Husband craves companionship after wive enters nursing home DEAR ABBY — My wife is in a nursing home and will be for a long time. While I was caring for her at home, I Dear Abby was very ABIGAIL lonely. She VAN BUREN wasn’t there for me except to demand that I do this and that. I did what I could to keep her happy, but nothing worked. I had no life of my own. My life was wrapped around her and doing the best I could to take care of her. I did all the chores that were required to keep the home running. Would it be wrong to find a lady friend to do a few things with, like have dinner, go to a movie or just for a ride in the country or to the beach? My son thinks I shouldn’t do it, but he doesn’t know how lonely I am, nor do the other kids in the family. No life in my own DEAR NO LIFE — You’re asking me a question no one can decide FOR you. Much depends upon the quality of your marriage before your wife became ill. You promised to love and cherish her until death do you part. If she’s still in her right mind, you owe it to her to be there for her to the extent that you can — just as she would be if you were sick and in a nursing home. You should discuss all of this with your children. While it is important that you spend enough time with your wife to ensure that she’s being well cared for, you are also entitled to have a life. Some husbands WANT to spend every possible minute at their wife’s bedside, while others do what you are contemplating. Only you can look into your heart and decide what would be best for all concerned, because it may affect your entire family. DEAR ABBY — My boyfriend of five years, “Spencer,” has always been very sweet — until this year. This year he has become verbally abusive, telling me I’m a drunk (I don’t drink liquor) and insane. (No one else says there is anything insane about my behavior.) Spencer frequently tells me

my opinions prove I’m a “jerk.” Until this year, I have been deeply in love with him. I know his verbal attacks on me are unwarranted. All I want is some peace and quiet. Please advise. Beaten down in L.A. DEAR BEATEN DOWN — Your boyfriend is showing all the signs of a man who wants out of a relationship, but doesn’t have the courage to come out and be direct about it. If you want peace and quiet in your life, find a man who appreciates what you have to offer, doesn’t make false accusations and treats you well. You’ll find what you’re looking for after you tell Spencer you’re NOT drunk, you’re NOT crazy and you’re not in love with him anymore, so GOODBYE. DEAR ABBY — I have been having a problem with my husband ever since his mom died. All he talks about is how much he misses her and how he wants to die. I loved his mother like she was my own, but it has been a year since she went, and I’m getting tired of the attitude and the behavior he displays. He is so mean now that I am thinking of leaving him because I can’t take it anymore. Can you help? Tired of it DEAR TIRED OF IT — It is one thing to grieve for a deceased loved one, and quite another to say you wish you could join the person. Your husband is “stuck” in his grieving process and needs professional intervention. Please urge him to get help. Was he always mean and abusive? If the answer is yes, by all means give serious thought to getting away. If not, tolerate it a little longer — providing he’s willing to admit he needs to talk to someone and follows through. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O.

Give older pets critter comforts BY KIM COOK The Associated Press Just as there are lots of products on the market to help ease the aches, pains and mobility issues of human old age, so there is a good selection of such products for senior dogs and cats, as well.

EASY LIFTING Arthritis is one of the most common problems for dogs and cats as they age. “Give ’em a boost,” says Amy Shojai, a certified animal behavior consultant in Sherman, Texas, and author of “Complete Care for your Aging Cat” and “Complete Care for your Aging Dog.” “Cats love high spots to snooze and lounge, but may not be able to manage the leap. Move a chair or even a cardboard box close to a window or bed to give them a leg up.” Ramps and stairs make it easier for older pets to access beds, sofas, countertops and window seats. There are folding, carpeted ramps that can go in the car or be easily stored. Solvit makes a high-traction ramp that attaches to stairs or the lift of an SUV to help arthritic dogs. The collapsible, ultralight design makes it handy for travel or car errands. And at home, carpeted or upholstered portable pet stairs can be positioned wherever a pet needs to go up or down. Look for ones that sit firmly on the ground, with a good wide stair base. Many come in a range of materials to coordi-

nate with your decor. (www. wayfair.com ) Pets with hip or back problems might appreciate having their food bowl raised up off the floor. Raised dishes in frames made of metal, wood, plastic or ceramic ease the strain on aging necks.

BETTER BOXES Aging cats might need bigger litter boxes or ones with lower sides for better access and aim, says Dr. Louise Murray, vice president of the ASPCA Animal Hospital in New York City. Lucky Champ, for instance, has a roomy one with a low entry ramp. (www.luckychamp.com ) Shojai suggests “a plastic, low-sided, shirt-box storage container. And add an extra potty or two; ensure at least one is on each side of the house or floor.” You can find dog and cat diaper pants and pads at www.seniorpetproducts.com if incontinence is a problem.

car, on the floor, or on a bed to help ease overheating or inflammation. (www.allmodern.com )

SLEEP TIGHT Memory-foam mattresses and pillows have been a boon to pets. Six inches of foam covered in microfiber and fleece makes a cozy snooze spot in the Great Paw Triple Support Orthopedic Pillow. (www.allmodern.com ) Kohl’s stocks the Happy Hounds dog bed, capacious enough for large breeds but easily accommodating two or three diminutive friends on a soft, Sherpa-fleece-covered mattress. (www.kohls.com )

KEEP THEM SIPPING “Older pets — especially cats — don’t always drink as much water as they should. Pet water fountains that aerate the water make it taste better and encourage water intake,” Shojai says. Major pet chains stock several varieties.

BODY TEMPERATURE

CRUISE CONTROL

“Heating pads and beds soothe achy arthritis and help older pets become more flexible,” says Shojai. “A heating pad slipped underneath the small pet’s regular bed or blanket may do the trick.” The Lectro Kennel electric pad can be temperature adjusted. (www.petco.com ) If overheating is the issue, consider the Cool Pet Pad. It’s gel-filled and activated by the animal’s weight, staying cool for three to four hours. You can place it in a crate or

Older pets can still enjoy fresh-air outings with the help of some clever transport devices. Shojai says a big beach towel can be employed as a sling to help a dog from a prone position, but she also likes the range of available locomotion assists. Adjustable wheelchairs and body harnesses are available at www.k9carts.com. Go for a walk or jog with a pet stroller; many are equipped with weather screens, and some with removable carriers.

Rose Marie — 9 decades of entertainment BY NICK THOMAS Tinseltown Talks Rose Marie may be best known as wisecracking Sally Rogers in the ‘60s CBS sitcom “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” but she began performing nine decades ago at an age when most children would still be potty training. With a phenomenal singing voice as a child, she rocketed to fame overnight. “I have no idea where that voice came from; I think God just gave me a wonderful gift,” said Rose Marie, who turned 91 in August. “When I was 3, I won an amateur contest, and my family took me to Atlantic City,” she recalled. “We saw a showgirl named Evelyn Nesbit perform and I started singing along. She invited me up on stage to sing with her, then people began throwing money.” Backstage, Nesbit suggested changing her name to Baby Rose Marie and her career took off. “I had my own radio show coast to coast on NBC when I was 5,” Rose Marie said. But there were also doubters. “Unlike other child singers, I sang adult songs with adult phrasing and mannerisms. People would write to the station in disbelief saying that no child could sing like that and I must have been a midget. So NBC sent me out to play theaters to prove I was a child.” As her fame grew, the famous wanted to meet her. President Franklin Roosevelt invited her to the White House when she was

Rose Marie, standing at left, was a member of the ensemble cast of the hit 1960s “Dick Van Dyke Show.” Van Dyke, Mary Tyler Moore and Morey Amsterdam were her co-stars. Best known as Sally Rogers on the 1960s sitcom, “The Dick Van Dyke Show,” Rose Marie, started her career when she was a child. As Baby Rose Marie, she had her own radio show in the early 1930s.

just 6. “After I sang for him, we played tiddlywinks with some poker chips I found in his office.” She caught the attention

of the infamous, too. While working with Milton Berle in Chicago, a visitor came backstage. “It was Al Capone and he wanted to invite me to dinner!” she said. “He picked me up the next day and we went out to eat with all the mob. I just didn’t think of those guys as gangsters.” Rose Marie was just 10 when she first met Morey Amsterdam, who would become an important influence in her career and later her co-star on “The Dick Van Dyke Show.” “He was a popular writer for comedians like Fanny Brice and Fred Allen and became a comic himself,” she recalled. “We met when

I guest starred on a radio program. He also wrote most of my nightclub material and become a life-long friend. I actually got him ‘The Dick Van Dyke Show’ job.” Dick Van Dyke is currently one of several celebrities campaigning for Rose Marie’s induction into the TV Hall of Fame in 2015. Speaking from his Malibu home, he recalled meeting her for the first time. “I knew she had been in show business since she was 3, but never met her until the first reading of the script,” he said. “She just knocked me over. She probably had the most razor sharp sense of timing of anybody I ever worked with. She was a delight and still is.” “We were a close group and genuinely liked working together,” said Rose Marie of the cast. “Everyone came to work happy, and oh, did we laugh!” Still active, her recent projects (see www.missrosemarie.com) include voiceover work for “The Garfield Show” on the Cartoon Network. “I love it,” she says. “You don’t have to dress up or put on makeup. All you have to do is show up! Although I can do many different voices, the producer wanted my voice so people would know ‘that’s Rose Marie!’” Nick Thomas teaches at Auburn University at Montgomery, Ala., with features, columns and interviews in over 400 magazines and newspapers.

YESTERYEAR, FROM PAGE C1 stock in Horne Motor Sales, local Ford dealership, to Fred McLaughlin, has been announced by J.E. “Dick” Horne. McLaughlin began his career with the local dealership as a salesman before it was acquired by Horne from H.C. Bland in 1957. It started under Bland as one of the pioneer automobile agencies in this area. Shortly after Horne acquired the business McLaughlin was promoted to sales manager and in 1961 became general manager with an interest in the dealership. • The Lincoln High School boys and the Scotts Branch girls won top honors in the second Annual Holiday Tournament this weekend at the Lincoln High School Gymnasium. In the finals the Lincoln boys met Dennis High of Bishopville. Allen Hargrove pumped in 24 points while leading the Bulldogs to victory. Other players in double figures for the Bulldogs were James Chandler with 20, Griffen Kemp with 16 and William Washington with 10 points. In the girls’ finals, Scotts Branch gained the lead in the fourth quarter and hung on for a 36-31 victory. • Gordon Beatson probably feels like a hotel manager. As keeper of the Sumter County jail Beatson has seen the briskest business in years at the local hoosegow. To date 2,715 visitors have been incarcerated behind bars, almost 1,000 more than last year’s trade when 1,762 involuntary guests paraded through the sliding doors. “We’ve had a busy year,” admits Beatson. “In fact, in the last 10 years our guests have more than doubled.” • Santa Claus was guest of honor at the annual Christmas parade for underprivileged children sponsored by B.P.O. Elks Lodge No. 855. Jolly Old St. Nick arrived at the Broad Street club in the closing moments of the party to distribute packages of clothing and candy stockings to 139 youngsters. Comic books, donated by Mrs. B R. DuRant, and paper dollars, a gift of the Elks Bingo Committee, were given to the children as they left the party. Santa was assisted with his chores by Joe Anthony, master of ceremonies, and members of the Social and Community Welfare Committee

When it was found that Ronnie had to have a kidney transplant back in the summer, things looked dark, indeed. But the splendid doctors at the Medical College of Virginia went about their work with skillful hands. And things have worked out beautifully. So well, in fact, that Ronnie has earned two weeks leave to come home. When he goes back the doctors are hoping he’ll check out well enough to let him come home for a whole month.

25 YEARS AGO – 1989 Sept. 22-28 • Hurricane Hugo did approximately $2 billion in damage to the tourism and travel industry in South Carolina, state Tourism Director Robert G. Liming said Saturday. “Our smiling faces and beautiful places are going to be a little rugged,” for a while, Liming said. “But we have positive attitudes. We’ve been saying ‘While I breathe, I hope.’ That’s one of our state mottos.” Liming said devastation from the storm was random, with one house or business destroyed while the one next door was left intact. Some tourism businesses have already reopened. • Rifle-toting National Guardsmen took over the streets of Sumter Friday night after local government officials declared Sumter in a state of emergency and imposed a strict dusk-to-dawn curfew. County councilmen and Sumter Mayor Steve Creech imposed the curfew, violation of which carries a fine and jail sentence, to deter looting of businesses. “We’re in a state of emergency,” Sumter County Sheriff Tommy Mims said at a news conference on Saturday. “We’re asking people that unless it is absolutely essential they stay at home.” • As Hurricane Hugo ripped its way through Sumter County Thursday night, there was little emergency crews could do to help those in trouble. During the height of the storm, in which winds gusted up to 100 mph, it was nearly impossible for emergency

Sumter County Civil Defense Director Vic Jones said ambulances, fire trucks and police cars were all stymied as the storm became more and more violent. “Our hands were tied. When the storm started hitting hard, we couldn’t even get out of the station. We’re not supermen,” Lt. Tom Kinsey of the Sumter Fire Department said. • Addie Davis blew out the candle when her mobile home began rocking amid Hugo’s fury. As her trailer tumbled over in darkness, she lost track of the youngest of her seven children and never saw him alive again. Thirteenmonth-old Lamont Davis was killed in the storm that also injured 323 people in Sumter County. A source said a second person died when another mobile home was blown over, but civil defense officials have put the death toll at only one. It’s a miracle, they say, that more people were not killed as Hugo lashed out at Sumter County. • The 1989 Sumter County Fair will be remembered as the best county fair Sumter never had, according to Earle Beatson, who has been executive secretary for the fair for the last four years. The fall classic has been a part of the Sumter community for 77 uninterrupted years. But there won’t be a fair in the county this year because of damage to the county’s fairgrounds on West Liberty Street, compliments of Hurricane Hugo. • At Swan Lake-Iris Gardens, the city’s most coveted landmark, a shredded American flag whips in the wind.

All areas of the city have been hit hard, but people have already begun to clean up. • Three Clarendon County residents were killed in the aftermath of Hurricane Hugo, which inflicted heavy damage in the county. Federal Disaster Relief officials are examining Clarendon County today to determine if Hugo inflicted enough damage for the county to be declared a Federal Disaster area. If so it will receive federal aid to help finance clean-up and repair damage. County Council Chairperson Betty Roper said 40 to 50 percent of the county’s homes are unlivable and 85 percent are damaged. • Utilities officials are hesitant to estimate when power and water services will be restored fully, but they all agree on one thing; Hurricane Hugo devastated Sumter’s infrastructure. “It’s by far the worst situation we’ve ever been in.” As of Sunday morning, all of CP&L’s 28,000 customers and Black River’s 20,000 customers were still

CLUB DIGEST NU MASTER CHAPTER OF BETA SIGMA PHI The first meeting of the new sorority year was held on Sept. 4 at the home of Barbara Smith. The chapter has received a three-star rating from International. Beth Guess, former member, was welcomed as a guest and encouraged to rejoin. Margaret Dougherty is now a pledge in training for the Nu Master Chapter and will be inducted into service on Oct. 16, when a salad supper will also be held. One of the chapter’s service projects will be to continue donations to United Ministries. There will be a chapter social picnic and miniature golf on Sept. 26. The 2014-15 yearbooks were given to each member. Congratulations were extended to Mary Ann Clark upon her retirement from Shaw Air Force Base. Barbara Smith presented a program from the book, “Classic Carolina Road Trips from Columbia,” by Tom Poland. The chapter’s Christmas party is scheduled for Dec. 12 at the Carolina Skies Club at Shaw AFB. The Sept. 18 meeting was held at the home of Toni Burkhart. After a short business meeting, games were played and refreshments served. A Hillbilly Night Halloween Party will be held on Oct. 30 at the home of Toni Burkhart. The next business meeting will be held on Oct. 16 at the home of Grace Mangum.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Or in layman’s terms, if you stiff your customers today, the money you make will be lost tomorrow. “I won’t tolerate that,” Sumter Mayor Steve Creech said. “In my honest opinion, a person who would do that is no better than the looters in the street. It’s just like stealing. A person who would charge $1.50 for a gallon of gas is stealing just like looters.” Sunday, two days after Hurricane Hugo rocked the South Carolina low country, Gov. Carroll Campbell issued a 61-day executive order granting local governments the authority to revoke the business licenses of businesses charging vastly inflated prices for basic necessities such as food, water, ice and gasoline. • Most of the city’s water customers should see water flowing from their faucets today, Sumter’s public works director said this morning. Most water districts outside the city also are reporting having water flow through their lines, according to Sumter County Fire Chief Larry Causey. Sumter Public Works Director Ed Davis said three of the city’s four waterpumping plants are running today. Assistant City Manager Talmadge Tobias said the fourth plant had to be checked today for possible damage caused when power was restored and pumps began drawing from dry wells. • Hugo had mercy after all. The GSX landfill, the hazardous waste disposal site that many say poses the greatest threat to the state’s environment, was spared when Hurricane Hugo blew over Lake Marion last week and devastated Sumter County and most of the state’s low country. “We came through it great. We were lucky,” said Larry Johnson, manager of the facility that’s located about 200 yards from Lake Marion. “We have a few trees down and a little roof damage, but it didn’t affect our waste operations at all. We consider ourselves lucky.” Reach Item Archivist Sammy Way at waysammy@ yahoo.com or (803) 774-1294.

school albums. According to Edens, “though their games didn’t make the sports pages of the newspapers and there were no out of town trips, excitement ran high with girls at Edmunds (and Lincoln) as it had at Girl’s High. Each of the four classes had several ‘color’ teams which played each other. From these, each class picked and polished a ‘varsity’ team.” These activities were designed to be entirely intramural activities and the teams were usually divided by classes, often utilizing an awards point system to distribute athletic awards. “Prior to the ‘50s field hockey had for many years been the favorite sports activity. It was later replaced in popularity by basketball.” Other sports soon became popular including volleyball, softball, tennis, golf and track and field. In 1959 Edmunds High, with the sanction of the School Board, would field the school’s first girls basketball team allowed to compete interscholastically. Participation and interest continued to grow through the ’60s with the teams doing well in competition. In 1953 a girl’s basketball team was formed at Lincoln High School and by 1963 there was also a girl’s track team. The number of sports offerings continued to grow at Lincoln during the 1960s. “To keep the spirit high among the student body and to support the teams, an energetic corps of cheerleaders was active. The athletic programs at Lincoln and Edmunds helped to boost school morale as well as to provide an outlet for energies.” Reach Item Archivist Sammy Way at waysammy@yahoo.com.

EDUCATION

THE SUMTER ITEM

Wilson Hall MR., MISS WILSON HALL NAMED Each fall the upper school faculty nominates students for the honor of Mr. and Miss Wilson Hall and the Mr. and Miss for grades nine-11. When nominating a student, the faculty considers the following factors: above average academics, participation in athletics and/or extracurricular activities, outstanding citizenship and excellent character. From the list of faculty nominated candidates, students in grades nine-11 vote for their own class, and all students in nine-12 vote for Mr. and Miss Wilson Hall. While voting, students consider the same criteria the faculty considers when choosing the most well-rounded representatives of their class and of Wilson Hall. The following students received this honor: Mr. and Miss Wilson Hall – Raines Waggett and Laura-Clare Thevenet; Mr. and Miss Junior – John Ballard and Kate Whaley; Mr. and Miss Sophomore – Drew Talley and Diamond Crawford; and Mr. and Miss Freshman – Bryce Lyles and Madison Reaves. — Sean Hoskins

Sumter Christian School ESTABLISHING FUND-RAISERS Sumter Christian School AAA Booster Club has been busy working to establish yearlong fund-raisers that will continue to aid school progress. Local businesses Sweet Frog and Chick-fil-A have agreed to host Spirit Nights by designating a percentage of sales for Sumter Christian School. School families have enjoyed fellowship with one another on these nights, and students get extra incentive to show up for the fun earning the privilege to wear jeans on Friday if they have 100 percent class participation.

SHORT BREAK Students enjoyed a short break from classes Sept. 24-26 while the faculty and staff attended the 2014 Southeast Christian School Convention in Myrtle Beach. With more than 2,000 Christian educators and more than 100 vendors from North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia attending, the faculty and staff were able to acquire more valuable tools to enhance the educational quality in their classrooms. — Miriam Marritt

Sumter School District DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WALK SET The Sumter High School International Baccalaureate students will sponsor the annual Walk Against Domestic Violence event on Saturday at 9 a.m. The purpose of the walk is to raise awareness of domestic violence in South Carolina. No pledges or fund-raising is required to participate. The event will begin in the Sumter County Library parking lot, 111 N. Harvin St. The public is encouraged to walk with the students, and all participants are asked to wear purple or white. In addition to the walk to raise awareness, the students are collecting items for the YWCA shelter for abused women. Those who want to donate can bring their items on Saturday morning. Items needed include cleaning products, washing powder and bleach, disinfectant wipes, hand sanitizer, soap, dishwashing liquid, deodorant, toilet paper, bath towels, hand towels, washcloths, paper plates and plastic cups, and combs and hair brushes.

LEACH HONORED High Hills Elementary School officially marked the beginning of the school year with its 18th annual Flag Raising Ceremony. Each year, the school honors and acknowledges an individual at the ceremony, and this year the honoree was Assistant Superintendent for School Services Cornelius Leach. The program was led by various fifth-grade students. Cambrie DeBerry welcomed Leach and said, “Each day the High Hills Panther flag flies in honor of someone who is associated with our school. Students, teachers, staff, and administrators can nominate anyone associated with our school to have the flag flown in their honor.

Today, we fly the flag in honor of our assistant superintendent, Dr. Cornelius Leach. As assistant superintendent, Dr. Leach is in charge of student services at our 26 schools, an alternative school, the Early Head Start program, and the Sumter Career and Technology Center. We are proud to have Dr. Leach serve as our assistant superintendent and thank him for his leadership.” Leach spoke to the students, faculty and parents assembled and challenged the students to do well academically, to behave well and to attend school every day. Other highlights of the ceremony included a history of the United States, South Carolina and High Hills flags. The High Hills Safety Patrol presented the flags, and the crowd joined in the pledges to the flags and sang the school spirit song. The event ended with a parade of class flags designed by each homeroom. The flags are now on display in the hallways of the school.

DISTRICT WELCOMES APEX Employees from Apex Tools in Springdale, Arkansas, and Dallas, Texas, visited Sumter last weekend, and Sumter School District was one of the groups who welcomed them to our community. Apex is closing their plants in Dallas and in Arkansas, and the company is hoping the affected employees will transfer to the Sumter plant, which has announced its plans to expand its operations here. On Friday, groups toured Alice Drive Elementary, Alice Drive Middle and Sumter High schools. The employees, their spouses and children were interested in a representative sample of each grade level. Principals and other members of the faculty greeted the visitors and talked to them about their schools and the district’s educational opportunities. On Friday evening, Superintendent J. Frank Baker participated with other community leaders in a presentation at a dinner held at the Heath Pavilion at Swan Lake-Iris Gardens. Each participant spoke for several minutes about their area of expertise and stayed for the question-and-answer segment. For three hours on Saturday afternoon, the district also participated in an event held at USC Sumter representing the various schools and higher education opportunities in the Sumter area. Two groups rotated through the facility, asking questions and gathering information about their potential new home. Representing Sumter School District were Baker, Lakewood High School Director of Guidance Brenda Richardson, the District Teacher of the Year Suzanne Koty, Willow Drive Elementary Principal Liz Compton, Principal of the Career and Technology Center Shirree Miller, along with Assistant Principal Jill Winter and Mechatronics instructor Wendy Jacobs and Public Information Coordinator Mary Sheridan. The Sumter Economic Development Board coordinated with the school district to arrange the district’s involvement. Another tour is planned for October.— Mary B. Sheridan

‘Do Fathers Matter?’ says something new KEVIN BEGOS The Associated Press “Do Fathers Matter?: What Science Is Telling Us About the Parent We’ve Overlooked” (Scientific American/ FSG), by Paul Raeburn From the tiniest microbe or fragment of DNA to the origins of the universe, it sometimes feels as if every subject generates a vast tide of scientific studies and that virtually nothing escapes detailed scrutiny. But veteran science writer Paul Raeburn noticed an oversight: the role of fathers in parenting. In “Do Fathers Matter?” Raeburn tells how until fairly recently, scholars, parenting experts and pop culture have overlooked the importance of fathers. In the 1970s, some experts even suggested that fathers were “an almost irrelevant entity” in an infant’s world — but did so without really studying father/child interactions. A 2013 Clorox ad proclaimed that “Like dogs or other house pets, new dads are filled with good in-

tentions but lacking in judgment and fine motor skills.” (The ad was later withdrawn.) Raeburn, a father himself, discovered that good scientific studies told a different story: “When we bother to look for the father’s impact, we find it — always,” noted one researcher. Passages like that make “Do Fathers Matter?” a valuable, compelling book for fathers, mothers, grandparents and parents-tobe — and perhaps even for their children. “Do Fathers Matter?” uncovers a trove of good research about fathers and parenting. In the Aka tribe of Africa, fathers spend 47 percent of their days holding their infant children or keeping them within arm’s reach. The Aka fathers sing to their children, play with them and do the equivalent of diaper duty. And while psychologists had known that a mother’s depression during pregnancy can increase depression in children, it turns out that a depressed father can have

the same negative impact, from genetic input or from his moods affecting the mother. Studies had also shown that the experience of motherhood actually changes mothers’ brains in the first few months after giving birth, and Raeburn found that when researchers looked at fathers, they also found significant brain changes — but not exactly the same as those in mothers. Raeburn doesn’t knock single parents or same-sex couples, noting that they can raise healthy, successful children, too. But he firmly points out that there is still far too much anti-father bias in society. Raeburn concludes by noting that other companies are producing ads that portray fathers in a positive light. Raeburn also notes that reading all the research on fatherhood helped open his eyes to better ways to be a parent, and that’s a priceless lesson that makes “Do Fathers Matter?” an important addition to parenting literature.

THE SUMTER ITEM

Find fragrant mystery plant in Lowcountry BY JOHN NELSON USC Herbarium Curator When I was a kid, during the time in which the car had rolldown window handles, they would take me and my sister out driving around in the Lowcountry every now and then; that’s when I started appreciating just how nice the Lowcountry of South Carolina is. I remember family outings, late in the summer, to visit some friends at their country home in Hampton County, not too far from the Savannah River, having lunch in the kitchen, with what seemed to be miles of old screened windows letting in a fragrant breeze. Hens and chicks would fuss and talk outside under the live oaks, with guinea hens plodding around in their careful way. Spanish moss swayed quietly in the trees. There always seemed to be a buzzard floating way up in the sky, with cicadas droning mindlessly on and on. The kitchen table was fitted with a checked, yellow oil cloth, and there was always fresh produce from the garden, along with a half-finished bottle of Tabasco sauce, some hot peppers in vinegar, a jar of what looked like dill pickles — but curiously labeled with the unusual words “Polski Wyrob,” which at the time was quite confusing. Then we’d go riding around some more, sometimes to a place with tame deer in a pen. The deer liked to lick our hands with their slick tongues, which was quite a treat, and they also liked to eat cigarettes: Astounding! Such a combination of experiences, including tastes and smells, leave strong impressions and a chain of memories.

This week’s Mystery Plant is a resident of the Lowcountry, one with a really interesting smell of its own. They say that in the past, these plants used to be harvested in the Lowcountry in order to flavor smoking tobacco. To me, the foliage has a scent like vanilla, mixed with honey and warm leather. And a little spice, too: Cinnamon? On a warm day in the woods where this plant grows, the very air holds the fragrance, making a strong woodsy perfume. Now, this plant is at home in sandy woods in the Lowcountry of South Carolina, often seen in flatwoods or savanna habitats. It occurs from coastal North Carolina down to northern Florida and then Louisiana. Each plant will have a shock of smooth, slick leaves down at the bottom, rapidly reduced upward along the stem, which is green and smooth. Branching occurs at the top of the plant, where the flowers are produced. All of the flowers are in heads — the plant is in the sunflower family, after all — and each tiny flower is an attractive purplepink color. Butterflies love this plant. Each flower will produce a slender, black achene, along with a tuft of soft, white bristles at the top. As a member of the sunflower family, this species is perhaps most closely related to the “bone-sets” (genus Eupatorium) and the blazing-stars (genus Liatris). Answer: “Vanilla plant,” “Deer-tongue,” Trilisa odoratissima John Nelson is the curator of the A.C. Moore Herbarium at the University of South Carolina, in the Department of Biological Sciences, Columbia SC 29208. As a public ser-

vice, the Herbarium offers free plant identifications. For more information, visit www. herbarium.org or call (803) 777-8196, or email nelson@sc. edu.

JIM HILLEY / THE SUMTER ITEM

Mike Sawyer, Cary Coker and Kent Mims discuss the changes that have taken place in school furniture since Nu-Idea came into existence. Nu-Idea has been in business since 1921.

Nu-Idea still a family operation School supply business has weathered many changes since starting in 1921 BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com Though the school furniture business is constantly changing and the faces and names have changed, Nu-Idea School Supply Co. is committed to remaining a local, family owned company, said Kent Mims, corporate vice president and stockholder. The company was started in 1921 by Roy Tucker and began manufacturing student desks and residential furniture, said company president Cary Coker, but after the Great Depression, the owners realized that by being a distributor instead of a manufacturer, the company could sell a wider product line to more costumers. “We evolved into what we are now, and that is a distributor and dealer, and that really opened the door to end users,” said vice president for sales Mike Sawyer. “Instead of getting pigeonholed into one type of student desk, it allowed us to have a lot of different product lines and to offer our customers a wider variety.” According to Coker, Robert Bells, who was married to one of Tucker’s four daughters, ran the company for about 40 years. “In the late ’80s, Bells retired, and he brought in some people, including Bill Stuckey, Ray Segars and Steve Bond,” Coker said. “They were owners of the company at that point.” “It was still in the family. It was the same family that originally started the business,” Mims said.

SHIFTING FOCUS Coker said Bond had a vision that customers needed more service, so he shifted from being only a product-oriented company to providing resources including delivery and installation. He said the company built its current facility to allow it to keep more inventory available for quick delivery.

company for many years, was diagnosed with cancer and died on Aug. 15, 2013. “He was a great friend and a mentor to all of us,” Coker said. The plans for a transition had to be accelerated.

TECHNOLOGY GUIDES CHANGES Coker said school furniture will continued to see changes. “You are going see new products in the marketplace built around technology,” he said. “We’ve already seen a lot of the shelving in libraries is going away because so much is done on iPads or Chromebooks. We have done libraries that look like a Barnes & Noble, where you have electrical power as well as data ports on the tables.” Students are even getting tech savvy in elementary school, Sawyer said. “I was at a school in Columbia and they wanted to pull out all the old wood rectangular tables and wood chairs and put in stuff they can move around and put in soft seating,” he said. “I showed them some pictures of some soft seating that has data ports you can plug in. I said, ‘You probably won’t need that so much at an elementary school,’ and they said, ‘Oh yeah, our kids will be using Chromebooks here, and they want to be able to come into the library and power up.’” “The technical aspect of what Nu-Idea does and the product lines they represent isn’t all the company is,” Mims said. “Nu-Idea started in 1921, and it was family owned, and it will continue to be family owned. When Bond and Segar decided they wanted to sell the company, they could have gone out on the market and sold it to a national group. There were offers that they turned down. Their vision of the company was to keep it a family, local business that employs local people that gives locals the opportunity to enjoy entrepreneurship and ownership.”

THE SUMTER ITEM

Call the newsroom at: (803) 774-1226 | E-mail: pressrelease@theitem.com

Doing some good outdoors with a good friend I

was sitting in a ground blind the other afternoon, and it struck me that it was time to mow the grass. No, not the lawn in front of the house, but the thicket I was trying to see over at the moment. What had started out to be a pretty dense clover Earle patch had Woodward turned into an impenetraAFIELD & ble wall of AFLOAT grasses and vines a little over waist high. The clover was buried at the bottom of it all, not able to get sunlight or be available to the deer herd. As I continued to sit and think, which is probably not the best idea in town, I realized that the lack of deer that I was seeing on both the stand and the trail camera may be directly related to the weeds. When I first put the camera up in

early August, I was seeing a cow-horned buck, a nice 5-point and about six does that regularly visited the clover. Now that it’s so thick, I was seeing the 5-point and two does, and they were coming only half as often as earlier. Not to mention, it was impossible to get a clean shot through the wall of grass from the seat in the ground blind. It was time to act. I called my hunting partner, Jack, and made plans to meet at the property last Saturday morning for a day of mowing. Since my little plot isn’t but about a quarter of an acre, if that, I planned on using my weed eater to knock them down. I assumed Jack would do the same to the area of clover and chicory that was in front of his stand. I pulled out my weed eater and noticed that gasoline was leaking from a fuel line. OK, I can fix that, so I ran down to Simpson’s Hardward and got a foot of fuel line and came back home for a quick fix.

As my luck would have it, while fixing line No. 1, my hand hit line No. 2 which also fell off, as did the other two lines on the machine. It was back to the store for another foot of tubing. By the time I got it all repaired, I was running about 30 minutes late. Well, when one assumes, you know what happens. Yeah, Jack showed up with the tractor and bush hog instead of his weed whacker. By the time I arrived, Jack had already unloaded the tractor, made two passes around the entire field, mowed my clover and was working on the shooting lanes in front of the rifle stands. Now, a bush hog is great for large areas, but when the weeds are tall and the tractor can’t swing around really good, sometimes it just pushes them over and doesn’t’ cut them. That’s when it’s time for the weed eater. I spent 30 minutes or so cleaning up after the bush hog and got the grasses cut down to the point that sunlight could

get down to the clover and so could the deer. I can now sit in the ground blind and see across the plot back into the woods. It was time to go see if Jack needed any help. We call it the “Long Field” because in the beginning it was about 400 yards long and 150 yards wide. We have since allowed volunteer pines to inhabit about half of that, which is where the ground blind is, and the other half we keep mowed so Jack and any guest can use a rifle. Jack was working on the mowed portion. At first, I couldn’t see the tractor due to the high weeds. Some were over 10 feet tall, but as he came around a corner I could make him out in the distance. One more lap and it was my turn to drive. I love driving a tractor, probably because I don’t have to do it for a living. I do it for the fun of it, and it is fun! For the rest of the day we took turns; he’d do about three or four laps, then I’d do the same

while he scouted out the area around the field. It took us the better part of four hours to clean up everything we needed to clean up, but by 2 p.m. we were done. It had been a great day for a work day; not too hot, not too cold, just right. We had cleaned up the open area so that we could see the other side of the field from the tripod stand on the east of his ground blind on the north side of the field. Before the mowing, we couldn’t see a fourth of the field, much less all the way across. I’m hoping that now that the grass has been cut and the food source exposed, that maybe the deer will return, especially when the soybeans surrounding the property turn yellow and lose their leaves. I had a great day in the outdoors with a good friend, and we did some good work. Do you reckon there’s a way to make mowing the lawn as much fun as mowing the grass?

Slow Money invests in small food enterprises MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Consumers who want to support local food and farms aren’t limited anymore to buying locally produced veggies, meats and cheeses. They can make direct investments big or small into local food businesses through a national movement called Slow Money, which links investors with farmers and small food producers. Since the national network started in 2010, Slow Money networks and investment clubs around the country, including in Maine, Massachusetts, California, North Carolina, and in cities like Boston and New York, have made a total of $38 million in investments in 350 small food enterprises. Vermont — which has a vibrant local foods scene — is about to launch its own network on Tuesday. The idea is to take “a little bit of our money out of the abstract craziness of the stock market” and instead put it to work closer to home, said Slow Money founder Woody Tasch, of Boulder, Colorado. The investment movement started after Tasch wrote his 2009 book “Inquiries into the Nature of Slow Money: Investing as if Food, Farms, and Fertility Mattered” discussing investments that focus more on sustainability than consumption. The foreword was written by Slow Food International founder Carlo Petrini, who started a movement to counter fast-food lifestyles by focusing on home cooking with local, sustainable ingredients. Many of the Slow Money chapters organize events where entrepreneurs put on presentations to investors. Then the interested investors deal directly with the businesses. “If you invest, and make a small loan to a small farmer near where you live, you don’t need somebody else to ex-

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Angie Trombley carries a crate of purple-colored heirloom peppers at the Squire Tarbox Farm on Westport Island, Maine. The farm received a loan for the greenhouse through a national movement called Slow Money, which links investors with entrepreneurs to build local food systems and economies. plain to you what the benefits are,” Tasch said. “And it’s a very positive thing. It engages neighbors and people and it connects to each other and to the land.” Most of the $38 million from 1,000 funders has been in loans, such as to Tarbox Farm, in Westport Island, Maine, which needed another greenhouse to raise winter greens and heatloving summer crops such as peppers and eggplant. Kyle DePietro and Angie Trombley thought about asking relatives or going to a bank for the money. But a Slow Money Maine coordinator learned about their need and matched the farm with an investor, who loaned them $5,000, several years ago, at a rate of 5 percent, after visiting the farm. “This seemed very easy. There wasn’t really much to it as far as secur-

ing the funds for it,” said Kyle DePietro, who said they have since paid off the loan. When the farm needed to buy a box truck this spring, they went directly to the investor and took out a $10,000 loan for two years. “It was cool that she was able to help us out and I think she got a lot out of lending us the money,” he said. “It was a personal nice connection that I guess you wouldn’t have with a bank.” This type of venture taps into some investor disenchantment with the stock market and their desire to help their local communities, said Charles Schnitzlein, the Steven Grossman endowed chair of finance at the University of Vermont. “I look upon these sorts of ventures as positive developments in the sense

that they get people involved in their communities and they get people possibly promoting better ways of doing things for the environment or keeping things local,” he said. But it’s risky, he said. To be effective with Slow Money or a similar vehicle, investors must be actively involved and really understand the company that they’re working with, he said. It’s not a way to get rich quick, Slow Money vice president Michael Bartner said. It’s more about helping local food producers. The organization is relatively new and it’s too soon to track the return on the investments, he said. Microfinance is used in other regions of the world, for low-income entrepreneurs and small businesses who don’t have access to financial services. In Vermont, the Vermont Community Loan Fund makes loans to food and agriculture businesses. There’s already been a lot of activity in Vermont that has taken place organically over the last six or seven years because of the state’s vibrant food entrepreneurship culture and interested investors, said Eric Becker, a co-founder of Slow Money Vermont, and a chief investment officer at Clean Yield, a Norwich-based investment advisory firm. But the one thing missing, is a way for individuals to directly plug into that activity without knowing someone who’s been raising money, he said. Vermont’s chapter plans to put on entrepreneur showcases where a group of vetted businesses will present their business plans and interested investors can deal with them directly. Events in other places have generated not just dollars for local food providers, but social capital — leading to other forms of support like technical assistance, Becker said.

FISHING REPORT Santee Cooper System Catfish: Fair. When water has been flowing through the canal and creating current the catfish bite in the canal has been good. Outside of the canal the bite can best be characterized as fairly slow on Lake Moultrie, even at night which is traditionally good in the summer. There have been reports of some shallow water success on Lake Marion recently. Overall, the best bet may be drifting with cut bait and covering a range of depths. Lake Murray Bream: Very good. Shellcracker fishing is very strong in 4-10 feet of water off points using nightcrawlers. If fish are not quickly located move to another spot. Bluegill are holding around docks and can be caught on worms and crickets. Striped bass: Fair to good. Striper are still mostly found from the dam to Shull Island, and the majority of fish are being caught from the surface down to 40 feet of water. There is good topwater action at times, and standard topwater lures, Striper Delights trailed by a small spoon, and free lined live herring are all working well. For deeper fish down lined herring are the best choice. Catfish: Fair to good. Murray catfish seem to be moving into a fall pattern a little early. Some fish (99 percent channels) can

still be caught shallower in the 5-20 foot range, but blues are also being caught deeper in the 20-40 foot range. Lake Wateree Catfish: Very good. The drift and anchor bite are both very good on Lake Wateree. The blue catfish bite has been strong on the shallow flats in 8-12 feet of water, and while fish have not always been huge there have been some very good numbers taken. Cut gizzard shad has been a good bait, and cast netting in Wateree Creek in the morning has yielded good numbers of 4-6 inch gizzard shad. Crappie: Fair. Crappie are starting to make a seasonal change on Lake Wateree. While some fish can still be caught around brush in the 16-18 foot range, more fish are now up shallower around brush in 10-12 feet of water. A few fish are also around docks. Crappie are following the threadfin shad, and it’s a good bet that crappie can be caught tight-lining in areas where schools of shad are seen on the surface in the morning. Lake Greenwood Catfish: Fair to good. The best pattern is drifting with small pieces of herring and shrimp, or anchoring with dip baits and shrimp on humps and points. 15-30 feet of water has been the most productive depth.

To increase your chances of tangling with a monster channel catfish, or to target flatheads, try anchoring live bait such as bream or white perch in the same depths. Lake Monticello Catfish: Good. The big fish bite on Monticello has been pretty consistent lately. Fish are in typical fall spots as a transition out of the summer pattern seems to be happening earlier than usual this year. This means that instead of fishing in the backs of coves focusing on main lake, deep water humps and points. Lake Russell Striped bass: Good. The lower end of the lake continues to be producing above average for this time of year, and right now as many fish are being caught on the lower end as at the top of the lake. In the lower part of the lake the best pattern is fishing down lined herring 30-40 feet deep in fairly deep water, while on the upper end of the lake below the Hartwell Dam the best pattern is free lining live herring along the river channel. Black Bass: Good. Bass fishing is above average for this time of year, and spotted bass are biting well around brush piles about 25 feet deep. Drop shot rigs are working very well. Spots are also schooling in the morning on threadfin shad around

main lake points in the main lake. Lake Thurmond Striped and Hybrid Bass: Good. Striper are basically grouped up around the oxygen system. The best success is coming from anglers putting in at the Modoc boat ramp and fishing on the bottom in 30-40 feet of water with down lined herring. Fish are also being caught at the top of the lake in the Russell Tailrace. Crappie: Fair. The lake seems to be starting to turn over a little bit and crappie have moved a bit shallower into brush about 20 feet deep. The best area has been the Georgia Little River between the Little River Bridge and Raysville. Lake Wylie Largemouth Bass: Fair. Bass are starting to move into a fall pattern and fish are making their way into the creeks. Early in the morning fish are schooling in pockets and the shallow backs of creeks. These shallow fish are less focused on bream and essentially keyed in on threadfin shad, and they will take shad imitation lures such as small topwaters and swimbaits. Lake Jocassee Trout: Fair to good. Trout fishing remains pretty strong, but if anything the fish have gotten even deeper. The best bite continues to be occurring between about

8 a.m. and 2 p.m., with the fishing not as good first thing. Fish are still feeding best in the 80-100 foot deep range, and trolling both Apex and Sutton spoons and live shiners is working well. Lake Keowee Largemouth and Spotted Bass: Slow to fair. Fishing has slowed down on Lake Keowee and catching bass has gotten pretty tough. The best pattern has been fishing topwater lures over shallow, rocky points early in the morning, and after that bite dies off fishing gets difficult. Lake Hartwell Catfish: Good. Blue catfish remain in the deep timber where they are difficult to target, but channel catfish continue to feed well in 5-25 feet of water. Worms, stink bait and cut herring are all working in the creeks, main lake, or pockets at the right depth range. Flathead fishing has also been strong, and early, late and at night fish can be caught on live bream or perch anchored around brush on points. Crappie: Fair to good. Crappie fishing has improved, with numerous reports of pretty good catches as the water begins to cool. The best action has been coming 12-15 feet down in 20 feet of water around brush and bridges. Both minnows and jigs have been catching fish.
