Applying for health insurance? Homework involved WASHINGTON (AP) — Getting covered through President Barack Obama’s health care law might feel like a combination of doing your taxes and making a big purchase that requires research. You’ll need accurate income information for your household, plus some understanding of how health insurance works, so you can get the financial assistance you qualify for and pick a health plan that’s right for your needs. The process involves federal agencies verifying your identity, citizen-

But even if the process triggers some anxiety, it’s not the government poking in your medical records, as “Obamacare” foes have suggested.

Lee volunteers help fathers be their best BY RANDY BURNS Special to The Item BISHOPVILLE — A group of Lee County volunteers is partnering with the Department of Social Services to help parents — mostly fathers — build healthy relationships with their families. The Fatherhood and Families Engagement Program, one of the seven programs of the South Carolina Fatherhood Initiative, was established as a ministry of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine. It began in Lee County in October 2012 and has program sites in Florence, Darlington, Marion, Sumter and Lee counties. The Lee County volunteer group, led by program director Sam Joye, currently serves 35 Lee County parents, including three mothers. The group’s caseload is determined by DSS and family court judges, Joye said. “All of our cases are parents who are not able to pay child support because they don’t have a job or any way to pay,”

Joye said. “A lot of them come in with the attitude that the whole system is against them. They think they have nobody on their side. We tell them that they made the decision to become parents, and they have a responsibility to that child. We have to change their mindset.” The father typically is given six months by the judge to work with the Fatherhood Initiative and its volunteer life coaches to be trained, employed and responsible, Joye said. Eva Durant, one of the program’s volunteer life coaches, said typically three months are enough to help the fathers “get on the right track.” “I work with this program

because I see the needs the children have,” she said. “They are not getting what they need. What we have really is kids having kids. I see all of them as my kids. And when they enter the court system, we don’t think they belong in jail. They just need a helping hand.” The volunteer life coaches help their clients find the training and education they need to find employment. The fathers in the program tend to have high rates of unemployment, low educational levels, high rates of incarceration and very little civic engagement. The program seeks to equip fathers with knowledge and skills to help them become productive and self-sufficient men — establishing their position in the workplace, in the lives of their children and families, and as responsible community members. Joye, Durant and volunteer life coaches Donnie Moses, Pat Carter, Mattie Westry, George Williams and Jacobee Pratt are trained and supported by Fa-

therhood Initiative staff members Roger Gore and David Morrisey, headquartered in Florence. The South Carolina Fatherhood Initiative program receives funding from the S.C. Department of Social Services, the Sisters of Charity Foundation, the South Carolina General Assembly, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the South Carolina BAR Foundation, various private foundations and private donors. However, very little of the funding is directed to expenses incurred in Lee County. “Roger makes us account for every dollar we spend,” Joye said. However, there are few dollars to spend for gas mileage, supplies and equipment. As program director, Joye is able to receive gas mileage compensation, but the other life coaches receive no reimbursement. Lee County’s fatherhood initiative team is headquartered in office space adjacent to Bryant’s Printing on Nettles Street.

“We have to pay the light bill,” Joye said. “And we have other operational expenses. We need donations. ... We just received a donation from (Lee County Councilman) David Addison. And he challenges others to come forward.” Despite the struggles, Lee County’s program volunteers said they continue because of the importance of their work. While the fatherhood initiative works to provide parents with the skills needed to provide for their children, the need goes beyond making that child support payment, said Joye, a retired truck driver of 30 years. “They (fathers) need to get involved with their child,” he said. After a few months with the initiative, Joye said, “I’m finding the fathers need a role model. They need to have somebody they can look up to. And most of them know me. I’ve been here all my life. They know me. And I think that gives me an advantage when it comes to helping them.”

BATES MIDDLE SCHOOL KICKS OFF COAT DRIVE

Man faces armed robbery, attempted murder charges

ROBERT J. BAKER / THE ITEM

Sumter School District officials welcome Salvation Army Director Robbie Robbins, far right, on Thursday at Bates Middle School to kick off the district’s coat drive, which will be held throughout the winter at all of the district’s 29 schools. Assistant to the Superintendent Amy Hansen, far left, said Bates was chosen for the kick-off because of its “gung-ho” attitude when told about the coat drive. Also pictured are Bates Principal Ayesha Hunter, second from left; Trevor Ivey, chairman of the Teachers’ Forum for the school district and assistant principal at Alice Drive Middle School, center; and Bates Assistant Principal Gary Bettinger, second from right. Hansen said students, teachers, parents and community may donate any types of clothing to the drive, including coats, shirts and other cold-weather attire.

A Wedgefield man is in jail facing several felony charges after police said that same man called someone to his home and then attempted to rob the person he called. Joshua Allen Lawson, 21, of 6110 Phoenix Court, Wedgefield, is charged with armed robbery and attempted murder. About 6:24 p.m. Friday, Lawson reportedly called the victim and asked him to pick Lawson up at his home for a ride. But when the man arrived, Lawson and another LAWSON unknown suspect reportedly approached him in the yard. The other suspect reportedly pulled a revolver on the victim before the men pulled the driver out of the vehicle and took his wallet. As the victim drove away from the scene, shots were reportedly fired at the car, striking the rear windshield and passenger-side door. When law enforcement were directed to Lawson’s home, he was reportedly still there. He was taken into custody and transported to Sumter-Lee Regional Detention Center.

Ministry needs your home-baked cookies Kairos takes treats to correctional institution as part of program BY JADE ANDERSON janderson@theitem.com The local Kairos ministry will be going to Lee Correctional Institution the first weekend of October, but first it needs some help. The 30-member team is seeking a donation of between 4,000 and 7,000 dozen cookies, preferably homemade. “It lets them know somebody loves them,” said Richard Boisvert. “We do accept bought cookies, but we prefer homemade because they are a lot more effective.” Started in the 1970s in Florida, the interdenominational prison ministry — whose Greek name means “God’s special time” — made its way to the tri-county area in 1983. Boisvert was on the original

steering committee. The group goes twice a year for “street weekends” such as this one. The other usually takes place in May. Even though only 30 residents — the organization’s preferred name for the inmates — will go through the actual program, everyone in the facility, from the residents to the guards, gets a container of cookies each day. With more than 1,600 men currently incarcerated at the facility, that is a lot of cookies, Boisvert said. When the program started in Florida, the first group of participants got beaten up for being treated special. The members of that Kairos prayed, and the answer was cookies for everyone. “It solved the problem,” Sherry Amerson-Jackson said.

“There was no more jealousy.” There are 10 talks during the program with topics such as “Friendship with God,” “The Church” and “You Are Not Alone.” Residents and street ministers sit together at tables. Along with eating together, they meditate on and discuss the talks. There are also singing and poster creations, which the residents really get into, Boisvert said. They often have encouraging posters sent from around the world and placemats created by children in local churches as well. “A lot of them come for the food initially, but then they see how we treat them like Jesus,” Boisvert said. “The table servant asks ‘Would you like more? Is there a special cookie I can get you?’ A lot of them

have never experienced that kind of TLC. As time goes on, they get involved in the talks and become part of the program. By Saturday, they want hugs.” The “love in action” is also what helps draw the residents back to the monthly “reunion weekends,” where the Kairos team meets with small groups of men who have been through the program for fellowship, food, testimonials, singing and prayer. Boisvert credits this follow-up for a majority of the program’s effectiveness, he said. But it isn’t just the residents who get something out of Kairos. “We get so much more out of it,” she said. “It forces us to grow and break down barriers.”

Woman in wheelchair struck by van BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com A woman in a wheelchair was struck by a van on Broad Street on Saturday afternoon. The woman was apparently attempting to cross the street in front of a building in the 700 block of Broad Street across from Larkin Street when she was struck head on by a van in the northbound lane. She was transported to Tuomey Regional Medical Center by ambulance in an unknown condition. No update on the woman’s condition was avail-

able Saturday. Allen Andrews was driving an older-model Toyota van on Broad Street when he crashed into the woman in the roadway. “She just pulled out right ahead of me,” he said, and declined to discuss the crash further. William Spratley was driving north on Broad shortly before the woman was struck. “I didn’t see her, but I saw all the commotion, so I pulled over,” he said. He said the woman appeared to be bleeding from the head after the crash, but she did appear to

move before being loaded into the ambulance. Spratley said he didn’t know the woman but recognized her as frequently riding around that area of Broad Street in her wheelchair. He also expressed his sympathies with Andrews after the crash. “You don’t expect somebody to get hit by a car. You just react,” he said. “I feel sorry for both of them, her and him.” Sumter police are investigating the incident. No charges had been filed in the incident as of Saturday.

42 defendants will challenge their convictions BY ROBERT J. BAKER bbaker@theitem.com Kevin DeWayne Isaac wants a circuit court judge to vacate his guilty plea to the 2009 death of his 17-month-old son and the 25-year prison sentence that went with it. This week, Isaac and other defendants convicted of serious crimes in the 3rd Judicial Circuit will challenge their convictions at the Sumter County Judicial Center by attacking the defense provided by their original trial attorneys. Isaac and Marketta Sharnise McCray, who is not scheduled this week, were sentenced in 2010 to 25 years and 29 years, respectively, for the death of Sincere Isaac, who died of starvation on March 2, 2009. Isaac is one of 42 defendants that have filed post-conviction relief applications that will be evaluated this week. “In South Carolina, a

post-conviction relief proceeding is a collateral attack on a criminal conviction,” according to the state Attorney General’s Office, which challenges each application on a rotating schedule in the state’s 16 judicial circuits. During a hearing, the convicted person attempts to prove that his original trial lawyer was incompetent in handling his or her case or that there were other errors to prove his trial was unfair. By South Carolina law, Isaac had just 10 days to appeal his guilty plea to a higher court. In his post-conviction relief application, Isaac claims that his former attorney, Arthur Wilder, provided “ineffective assistance of counsel, failed to investigate (his) case and denied (him) adequate formulation of performance.” State law puts the burden of proof on the applicant, the convicted defendant. Isaac will have

to show At-large Circuit Judge Jeffrey Young that had it not been for the alleged deficient conduct, he would not have pleaded guilty and would have insisted on going to trial. A successful relief application does not automatically free a defendant, but rather provides for a new trial. Young said during post-conviction relief hearings held in March at the Sumter County Courthouse that a successful applicant can even be retried and sentenced to more time. “It doesn’t just make the charge go away,” he said. “They could’ve gotten 10 years the first time, and then have a successful post-conviction relief and be retried and get 20 years depending on what the charge calls for in the law.”

OTHERS SEEK RELIEF • Donniel Woods was found guilty by a Clarendon County jury in October 2008 of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, kidnapping and strong arm robbery and sentenced to 30 years in prison. Woods had been served with warrants for the offenses on June 29, 2007, a little more than a year after a Clarendon County woman told police she was held against her will and forced to perform oral sex in a car near the area of Tearcoat and Brogdon roads in Alcolu. • Timothy James Johnson pleaded guilty in 2011 to assault and battery with intent to kill in connection with a December 2008 shooting and kidnapping from an unrelated 2009 home invasion, receiving a 20-year prison sentence. Court records show that Johnson admitted to being present at a Robney Drive home when four shots were fired at Arthur Bennett after a fight the day before involving family members from both sides. One year later, Johnson and two other men kicked in the door of a Cannery Road home and slammed the homeowner to the floor, according to reports. The homeowner’s boyfriend later arrived and shot at the intruders, hitting Johnson once in the foot and once in the leg. His DNA was found at the scene and on a glove near the home. • Nathaniel Bradley, 61, was sentenced to 30 years after a jury found him guilty of killing 39-year-old Ernest James, whose body was found May 23, 2005, in Boyles Pond, off St.

Pauls Church Road. • Devan Jevon Dwyer, 27, was found guilty in April 2009 of attacking a 34-year-old woman and her then-boyfriend at the woman’s Silver Street home. Third Circuit Judge R. Ferrell Cothran sentenced Dwyer to 30 years in prison for two counts of assault and battery with intent to kill, armed robbery, first-degree burglary and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime. • Mark McCoy, 45, was given a life sentence without possibility of parole in 2008 for the shooting death four years earlier of 36-year-old Donald Tyrone Pettis Jr. Police said McCoy shot Pettis in the back on Edwards Street after McCoy and another man jumped Pettis. • Randy Alan Yonson, 27, was sentenced to 30 years in prison in 2007 for the Sept. 11, 2005, shootings of two deputies in the parking lot of a Pinewood Road nightclub. He had faced a maximum penalty of more than 100 years in prison. • John Raleigh Nelson Jr. pleaded guilty in February 2011 to one count of committing a lewd act upon a child at the Clarendon County Courthouse, garnering a 12-year sentence. The sentence was suspended to three years, with additional stipulations for placement on the Sex Offender Registry and lifetime global positioning system ankle bracelet monitoring. Nelson, a former educator, had been arrested Dec. 22, 2009, after the mother of a then-13-year-old girl told the Clarendon County Sheriff’s Office that Nelson had forced the girl to have sex with him while the woman was at work.

assistance youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re entitled to. â&#x20AC;˘ Shop for a health plan and enroll. Many people, ranging from lower-income workers to the solid middle class, will qualify for tax credits to help buy a private plan through the state markets. The government will send money directly to your insurer, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make arrangements to pay any remaining premium. The poor and near-poor will be steered to Medicaid in states that agree to expand that program. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an overview of what

to expect applying online, with tips: Go to healthcare.gov and click on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get Insurance.â&#x20AC;? The site has links to every state market.

Tip â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Treat your password like a bank account or credit card password. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a good idea to set it as â&#x20AC;&#x153;1234567.â&#x20AC;? Now you can tackle the actual application. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need birth dates and Social Security numbers for yourself and

other family members listed on your federal tax return. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also be asked if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a citizen. Legal immigrants will need their immigration documents. Tip â&#x20AC;&#x201D; You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to plow through the entire application in one sitting. You can save your work and come back later. Next, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be asked about income. You may need your most recent tax return, pay stubs and details on other kinds of income, such as alimony, pensions and rents. You can

still apply if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t filed a tax return. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also be asked about access to health insurance through your job. You may be required to take that insurance if available. Your personal and income details will be routed through a new government entity called the data services hub, which will ping agencies such as Social Security, Homeland Security and the Internal Revenue Service for verification. The feds will also rely on a major private credit reporting company to verify income and employment.

Medicare, Medicaid changes could make for fewer primary physicians COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Getting face time with the family doctor could soon become even harder. A shortage of primary care physicians in some parts of the country is expected to worsen as millions of newly insured Americans gain coverage under the federal health care law next year. Doctors could face a backlog, and patients could find it difficult to get quick appointments. Attempts to address the provider gap have taken on increased urgency ahead of the lawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s full implementation Jan. 1, but many of the potential solutions

face a backlash from influential groups or will take years to bear fruit. Lobbying groups representing doctors have questioned the safety of some of the proposed changes, argued they would encourage less collaboration among health professionals and suggested they could create a two-tiered health system offering unequal treatment. Bills seeking to expand the scope of practice of dentists, dental therapists, optometrists, psychologists, nurse practitioners and others have been killed or watered down in numerous states. Other states

have proposed expanding student loan reimbursements, but money for doing so is tight. As fixes remain elusive, the shortfall of primary care physicians is expected to grow. Nearly one in five Americans already lives in a region designated as having a shortage of primary care physicians, and the number of doctors entering the field isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expected to keep pace with demand. About a quarter million primary care doctors work in America now, and the Association of American Medical Colleges projects the shortage will reach almost 30,000 in two

years and will grow to about 66,000 in little more than a decade. In some cases, nurses and physician assistants help fill in the gap. The national shortfall can be attributed to a number of factors: The population has both aged and become more chronically ill, while doctors and clinicians have migrated to specialty fields such as dermatology or cardiology for higher pay and

better hours. The shortage is especially acute in impoverished inner cities and rural areas, where it already takes many months, years in some cases, to hire doctors, health professionals say. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking about putting our human resources manager on the street in one of those costumes with a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We will hire youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sign,â&#x20AC;? said Doni Miller, chief executive of the Neighbor-

hood Health Association in Toledo, Ohio. One of her clinics has had a physician opening for two years. In southern Illinois, the 5,500 residents of Gallatin County have no hospital, dentist or full-time doctor. Some pay $50 a year for an air ambulance service that can fly them to a hospital in emergencies. Women deliver babies at hospitals an hour away.

They marched partly to memorialize their loved one, and partly to protest that no charges were ever filed in his death. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time we get here, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still fresh, like the first day it happened,â&#x20AC;? said Jacobsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; older brother Tim Jacobs, standing near a small wooden cross marked with his brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s childhood nickname â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nine.â&#x20AC;? On Sept. 28, 2010, the 25-year-old Jacobs was stopped while walking on the side of Patriot Parkway by Sumter police officers who thought he matched the description of a suspect in a carjacking earlier that morning. After a struggle, Jacobs was shot and killed when he reportedly pulled a handgun from his waistband. After an investigation, the shooting was ruled justifiable, and prosecutors declined to pursue any charges against the officers involved. A different man was later identified as the suspected carjacker. In the three years since, Jacobsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; family has marked the anniversary of his death with a march along Patriot Parkway. This year, the group carried homemade signs decrying the shooting and plastered with photos of Jacobs. As they

SHUTDOWN from Page A1 not,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; said U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson, RSpringdale. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why it should be avoided. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not in the interest of really anyone.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Medicaid and Social Security payments would continue to flow because they are part of permanent law, said Sharon Parrott with the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, a non-partisan policy think tank in Washington, D.C. But there would be other disruptions in federal services that are paid for through the appropriations process, she said. And those disruptions could hurt the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy. For example, delays in federal loan approvals could hurt the housing industry. There also would be delays in the processing of passport and visa applications, and reviews of federal tax returns and issuance of refunds. Some national parks, such as Congaree National Park in Lower Richland and Fort Sumter in Charleston harbor, and federally run museums and historic sites would also likely close, a recent

report from the Congressional Research Service said. Agencies that pay for themselves, including the U.S. Post Office, would not be affected. But is a partial federal shutdown likely as congressional Democrats and Republicans argue over the budget and Obamacare? Clyburn, South Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone Democrat in Washington, told reporters in Columbia on Tuesday that a shutdown â&#x20AC;&#x153;is a realistic possibility, but highly improbable.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; By Friday, his outlook was less optimistic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I still believe in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (South Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s) motto â&#x20AC;&#x201D; while I breathe, I hope. But time is running out for the Republicans to do the right thing and stop this brinkmanship.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Republicans, who control the House, counter that Democratic President Obama and the Democratic-majority U.S. Senate should do the right thing and abandon the Affordable Care Act, Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature achievement as president. A shutdown could happen if Congress fails to reach an agreement on a spending plan that would keep the government open after midnight Monday, the last day the federal government is authorized to spend money.

Tuomey takes steps to begin healing process

hen the dust finally settles in the ongoing, 10-year-old Tuomey Healthcare System debacle — and that’s still a long way off — the record will show that it was new board chairman John M. Brabham Jr. and vice chairman Roy Creech who finally stepped up and did the right thing for the hospital and for the Sumter community. What did they do? They convinced a majority of their fellow board members to get rid of CEO Jay Cox and the law firm that continually represented Cox’s personal and financial interests over the best interests of the hospital and this city. Brabham’s late father — John Brabham Sr. — was an outstanding businessman and civic leader in Sumter for many years, and he would

EDITORIAL

surely be proud of his son and those board members who went along with this difficult but correct decision. Brabham and Creech, whose family also has a long history of public service in Sumter, represent a new generation of Sumter civic leaders making their mark. ••• What happens next is anyone’s guess, so here’s a quick review: Tuomey has now lost two landmark, nationally watched trials for Medicare fraud and Stark Law violations, and has put Sumter’s 100-year-old, non-profit, charitable hospital at risk of bankruptcy. The government is still willing to settle the case, and has indicated

COMMENTARY

that from the beginning. Local trustees past and present face the prospect of personal financial damages from any future lawsuits brought against them for their role in the mismanagement of the hospital under the leadership of CEO Cox, who sat alongside them on the board and allegedly controlled access to the lawyers. Those lawyers are now all much richer after living off the fat of our non-profit hospital for 10 years, with some local legal experts guessing Tuomey has spent somewhere north of $30 million in legal fees. The charitable view is that this new board under Brabham and Creech’s leadership regained their collective perspective. They remembered that Tuomey exists to serve

the people of Sumter, not a few individuals. The Item has said from the beginning that only a wholesale change of leadership would clear the way for Tuomey to forge a deal with the government. That appears to be happening now, and we should all expect the new board to deal openly with the public in all future decisions. Brabham has already made that a priority in his dealings with The Item, and we appreciate it. We hope he and Creech consider opening board meetings to the press and public, just like Tuomey did up until the 1990s. Going into executive session for personnel and contractual matters seems to work fine for other public institutions such as city and county council and the school board, so why not

Tuomey? In terms of its mission to serve Sumter and its heavy reliance on public funds, the hospital is every bit a public entity. There’s a session at the upcoming American Healthcare Lawyers Association national meeting titled, “Board duties and responsibilities in the wake of Tuomey,” and upcoming sessions in legal conferences all over the country that begin with, “In light of the Tuomey case ...” That’s a dubious distinction. The Item will continue to report fully and fairly on all aspects of this case, and we expect there are board members who would like to finally clear their names publicly and on the record. We will welcome those interviews, because transparency will be the key to regaining any sort of public trust.

Georgetown fire was a close call for many people

hen our phone rang at 6 a.m. Wednesday, I knew something was wrong. A neighbor was calling to say Georgetown’s Front Street was on fire, so I ran outside to see what looked like a disaster movie set just down the street from our home. The flames and smoke were so intense in the 700 waterfront block of the downtown historic district that the whole town was clearly at risk. We live in the 500 block. People had just started to gather downtown, many in pajamas or bathrobes, and my wife and I began looking for our good friends who live in one of the buildings that was already fully engulfed. We had been up on the third floor deck of their home overlooking the waterfront on Tuesday night. Graham I first saw their big OSTEEN yellow lab, Hampton, and realized they were alive and safe. But their beloved building, which also housed the town’s popular independent bookstore, was gone. It’s a powerful feeling to embrace friends you imagined might have been dead just minutes before. This has been a gut-wrenching week for them and many others who lost everything but their lives. Those old buildings, filled with heart pine lumber dating back to the 1800s, went up so fast that it’s a miracle no one was killed. A number of alert citizens saw the fire and began banging on doors to warn others. There were many heroes that morning, and many more in the ongoing cleanup, recovery and fundraising efforts that are taking place in the coming days and weeks. In all, eight businesses were destroyed and about 130 people lost jobs. Remarkably, the beautiful new South Carolina Maritime Museum was saved, and the 24th Annual Georgetown Wooden Boat Show will go on as planned Oct. 18-19. Go to www.woodenboatshow.com for details. One of South Carolina’s most iconic downtowns will recover and rebuild, better than ever. Graham Osteen is Editor-At-Large of The Item. He can be reached at graham@theitem.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Obama’s lies becoming more apparent President Obama promised Obamacare would not cost a dime, would pay for itself, would reduce the deficit, would lower the cost of health care, would not create or raise taxes ,would not cause people to lose their jobs or insurance, would not destroy businesses, and would not negatively impact the economy. We now know all of these were lies. Obama continues to violate the Constitution by modifying the law — power he does not have — continues to issue waivers for a select few, and has bribed Congress by mandating 70 percent of these millionaires’ premiums will be paid by the rest of us. Even Democrats have called it a “train wreck” that will hurt the American people. Top union bosses say it is the cause of the destruction of the 40-hour work week upon which this nation is built and Americans depend upon. This week Senator Cruz fought to defund Obamacare, upholding his oath of office and promise to his constituents. So why are GOP members attacking him? Fellow Texan Sen. Cormyn admitted two days ago that Cruz bruised the egos of Washington “establishment” Republicans while jeopardizing their jobs, admit-

ting they are afraid Americans will blame them for a shutdown. How? The House just funded every part of government except for Obamacare. If the government is shut down it will be because Democrats are willing to shut down government to preserve this unwanted, unconstitutional, job-destroying, tax-raising, $1 trillion law built on lies.

CLEMSON — Clemson offensive coordinator Chad Morris had two words of counsel this week for Tajh Boyd: “Have fun.’’ It appears he got the message — loud and clear. Boyd threw for three touchdowns and rushed for another score, leading the Tigers to a 56-7 victory over Wake Forest on Saturday. The terrific performance made him the second Atlantic Coast Conference quarterback to account for 100 career TDs. “It was a fun game,’’ Boyd said. “I got a lot of chances to smile out there.’’ Boyd’s return to form was part of a solid day on several fronts for the Tigers, (4-0, 2-0), who have won their first four games for the sec-

Then the Tigers host undefeated ACC rival Florida State on Oct. 19.

ven with a bruised shin, Wheaton College football player Wes Cannonier had his most productive effort of the season last week. The Thomas Sumter Academy graduate had a season-high six tackles, second most on the team, in a Sept. 21 win against Luther College. The sophomore safety played a lot because the starter was

not there after a relative’s death. “It was unfortunate circumstances,” Cannonier said. “I think I used the most of my opportunity. “All my CANNONIER tackles were coming up (forward) hard,” he said. “We had designed the defense so

that me and the other safety would have to read their motions. I was having to do a lot of reads the whole game.” Most of his tackles limited the opponent to short gains.

Clemson D shines on ‘Money Down’ BY MANDRALLIUS ROBINSON Greenville News CLEMSON — Clemson is reaping huge returns on its investment into “The Money Down.” During its 56-7 win over Wake Forest on Saturday, Clemson allowed the Demon Deacons to convert merely two of 14 third-down attempts. Through the last two games, Clemson’s opponents have converted only five of 30 third-down plays, a rate of 16.7 percent. Clemson forced Wake into a three-and-out on five of its 15 possessions. “You’ve got to get off the field. That’s a huge part of the game we invest a great deal in every week,” said Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables. “Third down, that’s a wide range. You’ve got third and short. You’ve got third and medium. You’ve got third

TIGERS from Page B1 against South Carolina State. Then he looked out of sync in Clemson’s previous game, a 26-14 win at North Carolina State. Morris thought Boyd was putting too much pressure on himself, and the quarterback said he just needed to relax to improve his play. “The biggest thing for me is just to go out and enjoy,’’ playing football, Boyd said. “I’ve pretty much accomplished everything you can accomplish in a college career, minus a couple of things. But, now I’ve got to enjoy this last goround with my guys.’’ Boyd’s performance against Wake Forest left him at 102 TDs in college, joining former North Carolina State star Phillip Rivers in the ACC’s century club. Boyd passed for 311 yards and ran for 69 to surpass Charlie Whitehurst as Clemson’s total offense leader. Morris worked hard to get Clemson’s high-speed offense back on track. “This has been a very challenging week for those guys,’’ Morris said. “Just to get into a rhythm, get into a groove and not press.’’ Boyd and the Tigers started fast against Wake Forest (2-3, 0-2). Boyd had touchdown throws of 64 yards to Sammy Watkins, 75 yards to D.J. Howard and 14 yards to Mike Williams as Clemson built a 35-7 halftime lead. Clemson’s single-game scoring record came in an 82-24 win over Wake Forest during the Tigers’ national championship season in 1981 — and they looked as if they planned to better that mark early on in this one. Clemson scored on its first

gence is a big part of that.” Clemson limited Wake to 222 yards of offense, 117 yards below the Demon Deacons’ average entering the game. Wake Forest managed merely 1.9 yards per rush. Clemson surrendered only seven points, the

three possessions, with Boyd ending his mini-slump along the way. He connected with favorite target Watkins to get the scoring started. Zac Brooks added a 10-yard touchdown run before Howard turned a simple swing pass into a second long scoring play that brought Boyd to the century mark. Rivers accounted for 112 touchdowns with the Wolfpack from 2000-03. Wake Forest’s defense then stepped up, with nose guard Nikita Whitlock sacking Boyd to stall one series and the Demon Deacons sending the Tigers off the field for three straight three-and-outs.

SHAW from Page B1 him back in a couple weeks,” said Spurrier. Dylan Thompson is expected to start against Kentucky on Saturday. He completed 15 of 32 passes for 261 yards, while rushing for a touchdown and being intercepted once in the Gamecocks 28-25 win over UCF. Running back Brandon Wilds was also lost when he injured his left elbow while fumbling in the second half. • Sophomore wide receiver Shaq Roland did not travel with the team due to a violation of athletics department policy. USC coach Steve Spurrier did not address the situation prior to the game, but did following it. “It will be up to athletics director Ray Tanner and the athletics department when he can come back,” said Spurrier. “I can say it was not drug related, though.” • Senior cornerback Jimmy Legree picked up his second interception in as many weeks. It was one of two interceptions the Gamecocks had against Central Florida quarterback Blake Bartles who entered the contest with none. • Safety Brison Williams was called for a 15-yard targeting penalty in the first half, which briefly led to his ejection. Following a review of the play he

fewest it has allowed in an Atlantic Coast Conference game since its 23-3 victory at Virginia Tech on Oct. 1, 2011. Clemson has allowed merely 34 points through its last three games. For the first time since 2008, Clemson has allowed fewer than 15 points in three consecutive games. “Our defense has improved greatly,” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. “They are playing sound, fundamental football. Our defense is giving our offense the ball. They’re doing a tremendous job. Hats off to them.” Expect the defense’s confidence to grow through the next two weeks. Neither of Clemson’s next two opponents, Syracuse and Boston College, entered the weekend ranked higher than 60th in the Football Bowl Subdivision in total offense.

But Boyd eventually cranked up the Tigers’ offense once again. He ended a 67-yard drive with a 2-yard TD run, powering through the line when he was initially stopped on a fourth-and-short leap. Boyd’s final touchdown pass went to freshman Williams, a sliding 14-yard grab that gave Clemson a 35-7 lead. Williams was in because starter Martavis Bryant was held out the opening half after he made a throat-slash gesture when he scored at North Carolina State on Sept. 19. The Tigers outgained Wake Forest 361-142 over the first 30 minutes. The Demon Deacons’ lone score came on Tanner Price’s 10-yard pass to Sherman Ragland III in the opening period. Price had Wake Forest on the move on its next series until he fumbled on third down at the Clemson 32. The Tigers pulled away from there. “They ran a lot of blitzes on defenses that made it tough for us to run a lot of offensive stuff,’’ Price said. “We’ve got to make some more plays.’’ Things didn’t get much better for Wake Forest in the second half. Boyd was back for Clemson’s first series and directed a 10-play, 46-yard drive that finished with tailback C.J. Davidson’s first career score. Boyd was off to the sideline after that, smiling and enjoying watching the backups play. The Demon Deacons managed just 80 yards in the second half. Coach Jim Grobe put freshman Tyler Cameron and little-used junior Patrick Thompson in at quarterback for Price. Clemson starting tailback Rod McDowell had just three carries before leaving with an ankle problem. He did not return, although Morris said he could have if the Tigers needed him to play.

was quickly put back in the game as he the hit was below the shoulder of the receiver. “It’s tough because you don’t know what to do,” said Hampton. “You make a good play and you still get penalized. Even if they review it and put you back in the game, the penalty stands.” “Brison did everything he was taught on the play,” said USC defensive coordinator Lorenzo Ward. “I think it is a rule that will have to be looked at after the season.”

THE ITEM

USC from Page B1 Davis said. “I didn’t have any frustrations at all. I believe in our team and we all consider ourselves as brothers so we always believe in each other...We stuck to the same things that we do. If one person goes down, the other person has to step up.’’ When South Carolina started the third quarter, it was Davis time. He had 150 yards rushing in the second half and said, he embraced having his number called down the stretch. Early in the game, it was the Knights who were sharp, but they failed to convert all but one of the Gamecocks’ miscues into points. UCF managed to withstand Davis’ onslaught, but rallied late. But the Knights had four turnovers of their own, two of which set up South Carolina scores. “I can’t say it got away,’’ Knights coach George O’Leary said. “We have a lot of young kids and we can’t sustain on turnovers and short fields...When you have a chance to make plays you have to make them and we didn’t make enough plays in the second half.’’ Knights’ quarterback Blake Bortles threw for 358 yards and two touchdown passes, but also had two interceptions and a fumble. Junior Dylan Thompson, who replaced an injured Connor Shaw, completed some early throws but had several potential big-play passes dropped by receivers. He finished the game 15 of 32 for 261 yards and an interception. Both Thompson and the Gamecocks’ offense settled down in the third quarter, relying on their rushing attack to take control of the game. “Somebody on top is looking out for our team right now because our mental decisions that we were making, we easily could have lost,’’ Spurrier said. Even when it looked like South Carolina had taken control of the game, UCF (3-1) — playing in front of its first sellout crowd since 2011 — never stopped competing. The Knights closed to within 28-18 with 10:13 to play in the game on Bortles’ 73-yard touchdown pass to Rannell Hall and subsequent 2-point conversion. South Carolina punted on its ensuing possession, but a UCF drive that started inside the Gamecocks’ 40 ended with Bortles’ second interception of the day. But the Gamecocks couldn’t seal the win. With less than four minutes to play, the Knights fell on a fumble inside their own 5 and struck quickly with a 3-play, 95-yard drive capped by a 7-yard touchdown pass from Bortles to Hall. South Carolina recovered the ensuing onside kick and was able to run out the clock.

Biffle still believes he’s a contender BY DAN GELSTON The Associated Press

AAA 400 LINEUP

DOVER, Del. — Matt Kenseth has Chase perfection. Kyle Busch nailed the runner-up finishes. And no driver can touch the championship pedigree of Jimmie Johnson. Led by Kenseth, the top three drivers in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship standings have started to separate themselves from the rest of the field with eight races remaining. But is the list of contenders set? Have only three drivers out of the 13-car field really BIFFLE emerged as the favorites to win the championship? Not so fast. Carl Edwards is lurking in fourth, and Greg Biffle and Kevin Harvick have certainly stamped themselves as drivers who can win races and wrest the top spot away from Kenseth. “I can’t imagine with eight races to go that somebody would be willing to say, `Oh, this is a three-man race,’’’ Biffle said. As the Chase shifts Sunday to Dover, the field knows time is running short to widen the list of contenders. They’ll need that perfect blend of strong finishes and the hope that Kens-

eth blows an engine or Busch and Johnson wreck. Anything that takes the top drivers out of the checkered flag chase. Kenseth, who has a serieshigh seven wins, leads Busch by 14 points and Johnson by 18. Edwards (36 back), Biffle (38), and Harvick (39) are still in the mix. Kurt Busch, Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman, Clint Bowyer, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Joey Logano and Kasey Kahne round out the field. For some perspective, Kahne is 71 points behind Kenseth, more than a full race behind the leader. “I wouldn’t be the one putting my name on the line to say there are only three cars in this hunt right now,’’ Biffle said. “I wasn’t necessarily saying that

for the 16 team. I wasn’t making the case that it’s not a three-man race because of us. I wouldn’t count out Carl Edwards or any of those other guys that are right there in the hunt.’’ Biffle, who was third last week at New Hampshire, knows as well as any driver that a championship isn’t won in the first two races. He was the first driver in Chase history to win the first two races (2008) of the 10-race playoff and he followed with a third in Kansas. A strong showing, just not stout enough to hold off Johnson for the championship. Biffle had four finishes of 10th or worse and finished third in the final standings.

Surf fishing great way to unwind

afield & afloat

ack in late February, one of my uncles passed away and left my cousin and I as co-personal representatives of his estate. He lived in a house on Kiawah Island, and it has taken us all summer to pack up his belongings and prepare the house for sale. When you only have weekends to work on these projects, it takes awhile. The final days are drawing near and we have gotten to the end of the task of cleaning out, which, for the first time all summer long, left Cuz and I with a little time to actually enjoy the Earle beach. My lovely WOODWARD bride, Sherri, and I left Sumter Friday night, drove to the island and arrived just in time to go to bed. On Saturday, I got up around 8 a.m., grabbed my fishing rod, a small cooler, my tub of frozen shrimp and headed out the door for a short 5-minute walk to the beach. I had not done any surf fishing since I was in my early teens, but Saturday seemed like a good day to do it. The tide was high — I mean it was almost to the dunes when I laid down the cooler and began to cut up a few pieces of shrimp for bait. I waded into the surf and cast my bait into the churning waters. The beach was pretty much deserted. I looked both ways and could only find one jogger on the entire beach. You’d never, ever see that on the Grand Strand, even in the dead of winter. I had the whole place to myself.

The sun was shining and the breeze gentle, but steady. The shrimp boats were plying their trade just offshore. What an absolutely beautiful, peaceful morning. It was the kind of morning that helped you forget about all your problems. The rod tip quivered just a bit and I set the hook; the resistance was immediate. The fight was on and the fish gave quite a showing for itself. In the end, I lifted a redfish of about 13 inches from the water, unhooked it and slipped it back into the waves. Had the fish been in the “slot,” 15-23 inches, I’d have slipped him into the cooler. Redfish are hard to beat on the table, but the law is the law and he had to go back. He was still a lot of fun to catch. For the next hour or so, I caught whiting, a stingray, a juvenile pompano and another redfish. I suppose I caught a fish about every 10 minutes or so. I slipped them all back into the deep, even though some of the whiting were plenty big enough to keep. We worked ourselves silly packing up a few of the last of the household items on Saturday afternoon, which is about when Cuz arrived. Trust me, all of us slept well. On Sunday morning, it was drizzling rain, but it was coming to an end. After breakfast, Cuz and I grabbed our rods again and walked down to the beach. As good as the fishing was on Saturday, it was that bad on Sunday. Cuz and I baited the rigs with shrimp and squid, which is usually a pretty good combination, walked out into the breakers and let the lines fly.

The storms that rolled through the state on Saturday had completely reversed the current flow in the surf, and the waves were really pounding the beach. Bites were few and far between. Cuz took the first fish, a whiting too little to keep, and I took the second one, again too little to keep. Almost 30 minutes passed before either one of us caught another fish and it, too, was on the short side. We each averaged one fish per hour, but we were relaxing, enjoying the morning and getting our toes washed at the same time. All good things must come to an end, and so it was with our fishing outing. By noon, we realized that we still had a mountain of stuff to load onto the utility trailers that we were pulling behind our pickup trucks, which also were to be loaded, and stuff to go through in the office. It was time to go back to the real world and deal with it. After almost 45 years away from the surf fishing scene, I have come to realize that it is a great way to unwind for a few hours. It takes very little in the way of equipment and no boat: just a cooler, a can of bait, a few hooks and a rod. Unfortunately, the beach at Kiawah Island will no longer be available for fishing, which is sad. I’m going to have to find a place on the north end of the beach to fish, and there are a few places that I think might be OK. There’s something special about standing knee deep in the waves and feeling the fish rattle your bait, something that I think might be in my future again. I don’t think I’ll wait another 45 years to do it.

Kennedy, 36th president of the United States, was shot to death today by a hidden assassin armed with a high-powered rifle. Kennedy lived about an hour after a sniper cut him down as his limousine left downtown Dallas. Automatically, the mantle of the presidency fell to Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson, a native Texan who had been riding two cars behind the chief executive. Kennedy died at Parkland Hospital where his bullet-pierced body had been taken in a frantic but futile effort to save his lifeâ&#x20AC;Ś An editorial â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Our president is dead: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somehow we must bring ourselves to the awful realization that this nation, esteemed throughout the world as politically and economically unmatchable, has seen its leader, in a moment of horror and unspeakable barbarity, shot to death. John Fitzgerald Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policies and methods of leadership were not unanimously approved by many of this countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s citizens. Somehow this is all forgotten as his lifeless body lies in Washington with a cowardly assassinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bullet lodged in its brain. At this tragic time, we are all Americans, not Republicans, not Democrats, not liberals, not conservatives. We are all saddened, sickened, ashamed, astonished by

yesterdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tragedy. The tears wept in Dallas, in New York, in Washington, in Sumter, are the tears of Americans who love their country and their leader. Let us pray for our late president, and our new leader, Lyndon B. Johnson, who must assume the awesome responsibilities of our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest office. Let us reunite and rededicate ourselves to our nation and all its glories, past, present and future. Only the history books can record adequately the mistakes and accomplishments of President Kennedy. We can only stand aside, wipe the tears from our eyes, the sorrow from our hearts, take courage and new hope and continue to build and grow and live and die in honor, freedom and steadfastness.â&#x20AC;?

Sports news â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The 61st annual meeting between traditional football rivals Clemson College and the University of South Carolina has been postponed from

today until 2 p.m. Thanksgiving Day. The decision was reached late Friday by the presidents of the two schools. Presidents Thomas Jones of USC and Robert Edwards of Clemson said they felt the postponement of the game was proper in view of the assassination of President Kennedy. The two men had met earlier Friday and announced the game would be played on schedule. Their first statement said a lack of time to make rearrangements made postponement of the game impossible. All of the high-scoring runners and shotgun passers had to take a back seat to an unsung lineman last night at Memorial Stadium as Clinton Lyles scooped up a Florence fumble and thundered 70 yards for the touchdown that clinched Sumterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 13-0 victory over Florence. Lyles, a 215-pound senior guard whose number wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even listed correctly in the program, had never scored a point for Edmunds High during his football career. When he completed his amazing run and realized that he had scored, he tossed the football high in the air. The Sumter Generals semi-pro football team broke loose before a sparse crowd here Saturday night to beat Mt. Pleasantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eagles 36-6. It was the third win against three setbacks this season and helped the Generals toward their goal of finishing in the win column. Coach Charlie Sanders looked on happily Saturday as Shot Rogers scampered for two touchdowns; Jimmy Flowers got one, Ray Wilson one on a pass from quarterback Luther Welsh, and Norris Yates ran one. Bob Reynolds and Billy Richbourg combined to throw the Eagle quarterback down be-

hind the goal for a safety and two more points. Gus Pringels made three extra points. The Morris College Hornets, currently in the midst of their greatest grid season since 1952, carry an unblemished conference record into the all important clash with Claflin College in the Hornetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nest Thanksgiving afternoon. The Hornets, led by their great young sophomore quarterback from Palatka, Fla., Theatrice Strickland, boast a fine 7-2 record thus far. By beating Albany State 15-8 two weeks ago, the Hornets assured themselves of no less than a tie for the conference crown, a glory that has proved elusive to Morris for a decade. Morris College seniors bowing out of the football picture with the closing game tomorrow against Claflin College are James Watson, halfbacks Coley White and Eugene Dennis, and guard and captain Jerome Sellers.

His wife became the first black female druggist in Sumter and one of a few to hold this position in the state.

Hugh Hill and the seniors in his Advanced Placement Biology class went on the 37th annual fall field trip to 40-Acre Rock Heritage Preserve in Lancaster County on Sept. 24. On this trip, the students hiked through the woods and hills of the preserve, which is maintained by the Nature Conservancy of S.C., in order to study the plants and wildlife indigenous to our state. The preschool and kindergarten classes visited Shaw Air Force Base Fire Station on Sept. 27. The students toured the firehouse, saw the living quarters of the firefighters, tried on firefighting gear and used a firehose. The group also visited a smokehouse, which simulates a house fire, so they could learn how to safely exit a burning building. MY COMMUNITY AND ME

The fourth-grade students are once again participating in the My Community and Me program, coordinated by Sumter Volunteers, which introduces students to the history and workings of Sumter County. Community volunteers representing a variety of areas including business, education, government, health, law enforcement and the military visit the 12 schools participating in the program, and the volunteers are visiting our campus on Oct. 4. — Sean Hoskins

Sumter Christian School NEW TECHNOLOGY COMES TO CLASS

Both students and teachers at Sumter Christian School have appreciated and enjoyed new technology in their classes this year. New student, seventh-grader Brittany Walker, said that the mimio interactive whiteboard has helped her to understand math better. Senior government students have enjoyed having digital notes, images and videos that help them “dig deeper” into social studies. The second-grade class uses their new document camera in nearly all of their subjects every day. “It makes my life and everyone else’s life easier,” says Meagan Glass. Mallory Saunders commented “‘It was pretty amazing to show everyone how to write a ‘y’ because a ‘y’ is in my name.’” Sixth-grade teacher Amanda Kish uses her projector in nearly every subject conveniently adding audio-visual aids to her presentations. Nahdea Wiley said that these presentations help her in math, science and history because “I do better when I see things; and the way she writes them out is easier for me to understand.” High school students have remarked that the PowerPoint presentations in Bible class have made their learning experience more effective. The Target Learning Center students use Laura Mahoney’s iPad on a regular basis for a more hands-on approach to math and phonics. Both Margaret Barron and Mahoney mentioned the definite need for more technology in the TLC “because of the varied learning styles of the kids that come to us.” High school math teacher CarolRollings uses mimio technology on a daily basis. “It helps me to move faster through the material; I can better prove theorems and how things work.” TEACHERS ATTEND CONVENTION

The students enjoyed two days off Sep. 19-20 as all the teachers attended the annual SCACS Convention in Spartanburg, which was held for more than 70 member schools across the state. SCACS, the organization through which SCS is accredited and teachers are certified, held more than 120 workshops for teachers to sharpen their skills. Twenty percent of the workshops focused on technology in the classroom. The teachers enjoyed the opportunity to learn and work on improving their teaching skills. They also enjoyed the fellowship with other Christian school teachers from around the state. — Miriam Marritt

ART DISPLAYS RETURN

After several years hiatus, art has returned to the galleries at USC Sumter beginning with a wonderful collection of photography from artist Dr. Richard E. Getty. “Reflections” is a digital photography display on view in the Upstairs Gallery through Dec. 14 in the USC Sumter Williams Brice Edwards Administration Building. It is free and open to the public. The display contains 16 prints of reflections from glass and behind glass simultaneously. According to Getty, “At times the reflections in these prints are minimal, others are busy, and others suggest realities which could be but are not actually present.” Getty began his career as a professor of psychology, focusing in sensation and perception. He has studied photography since 1977 with help from friend and mentor John Rountree. He and his wife, Cara-lin Getty, often take pictures together and have a mutual appreciation of the visual arts. The Upstairs Gallery is located in the Williams Brice Edwards Administration Building on the USC Sumter campus. Hours for viewing are 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday with the exception of state holidays. Visit www.uscsumter.edu for more information. — Misty Hatfield

Sumter School District FINE ARTS SHINE

Sumter School District has many venues of which to be proud, including academics, athletics and the arts. This week, the article is dedicated to the fine arts because there are so many activities and accolades to report. CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS COMMISSIONED

The S.C. Arts Commission and the National Park Foundation has invited Sumter School District high school art students and Kingsbury Elementary art teacher Sylvester Hickmon to design and create the ornaments for S.C.’s 2013 National Christmas Tree display. The tree will be on display on the Ellipse in President’s Park in Washington, D.C. The National Christmas Tree display is one of the highlights of the National Christmas Tree Lighting. The National Tree is the highlight of the 91-year tradition and is the centerpiece of 56 smaller trees. Each one of the smaller trees represents a state or territory of the United States. Each tree is decorated with ornaments designed and created by a team comprised of an adult artist and youth group from that state or territory. Hickmon has been selected as the artist-in-residence. He will guide high school art students selected from Crestwood, Lakewood and Sumter high schools to create the ornaments to represent South Carolina. GRANT RECEIVED FOR FINE ARTS PLANNING

Sumter School District has been awarded a $6,500 Strategic Planning grant from the S.C. Arts Commission. The money will be used to continue the work on the Fine Arts Strategic Plan which began last year. Persons interested in serving on the Strategic Planning team should contact Fine Arts and Science Coordinator Lori Smith at (803) 469-6900, extension 514. LITERACY AND ARTS COMBINE

The high school fine arts teachers in Sumter School District have partnered with the Sumter County Library to have the students read “The Grapes of Wrath” by John Steinbeck. Largely due to this book, Steinbeck won the annual National Book Award and a Pulitzer Prize for novels. It was also cited when he won the prestigious Nobel Prize in 1962. “The Grapes of Wrath” is frequently read in American high school and college literature classes due to its historical context and enduring legacy. After reading the novel, the students will create works of art reflecting how the book relates to their lives. A showing of the works will be held in late October. MILLWOOD STUDENTS HOST MUSICIAN

students were honored by a visit from former Millwood student Technical Sgt. William Timmons. A Sumter native, Timmons is stationed at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling Air Force Base and is a trombonist with the United States Air Force Premiere Band and the Ceremonial Brass in Washington, D.C. Timmons shared his passion for music with fifth-grade students and taught them about playing the trombone. He also played a few musical selections for the students accompanied by his former teacher and current Millwood music teacher Hamilton Stoddard. The students particularly enjoyed the polka. Ceremonial brass music has played an important role in public gatherings and ceremonies for hundreds of years. Today, the United States Air Force Ceremonial Brass continues this tradition by providing the finest musical support for state arrivals at the White House, full honor arrivals for foreign dignitaries at the Pentagon, retirements, change of command and awards ceremonies, patriotic programs, and funerals at Arlington National Cemetery. “It is an amazing opportunity to perform for the President,” said Sergeant Timmons. “That is a position I have a lot of respect for and being that close to him on special occasions is a privilege and an honor.” Timmons was a member of the chorus at Millwood Elementary School and began playing trombone at Alice Drive Middle School. A member of the Sumter High School Class of 2003, he played in the band at Sumter High where he earned placement in the South Carolina All State Orchestra, All State Band and Jazz Band. Timmons attended Furman University Band Camp for several years and Brevard Summer Music Camp for four summers. While a student at the University of South Carolina, he was selected by audition to attend Aspen Music Festival in Colorado. CRESTWOOD DRUMLINE PERFORMS

The Crestwood High School Knight Train Drumline has been invited to perform again in the Bethesda Church of God Christmas Cantata, “The Little Drummer Boy,” on Dec. 7 and 8. After a one-year hiatus, the band is honored to resume this partnership between Bethesda and the Crestwood band program. An ensemble will also play Christmas carols as the audience enters and exits the building. The group has also been invited to perform for a youth gospel event at Alice Drive Baptist Church on Jan. 18, 2014. The Crestwood Jazz Band played at the Mayor’s Prayer Breakfast last year at Alice Drive Baptist and is continuing this partnership with the church. The Crestwood band and drumline is under the direction of Brian Moss. STUDENTS EXCEL IN ART SHOW AT FAIR

More than 500 students in Sumter County submitted entries in the Sumter County Fair art show. A large number of Sumter School District students placed in the elementary, middle, high and scholarship categories. A list of the winners and teach-

ers will appear in next week’s education news. — Mary B. Sheridan

Clarendon School District 1 SUMMERTON EARLY CHILDHOOD CENTER

Sept. 13 was set aside to honor grandparents of students at Summerton Early Childhood Center. The cafeteria and multi-purpose room overflowed with grandparents who altered their morning schedules to start the day right with a well-balanced, delicious breakfast while spending precious moments with their “grandbabies.” Following breakfast, grandparents visited the photo booth to pose for snapshots with their grandchildren. Before departing, students enjoyed grandparents sharing stories with them during “Take Time to Read.” SECC proudly announces the September Employee of the month and Students of the Month. Dahlia Wilson, Save the Children Coordinator, is Employee of the Month. Students of the Month are: Pre-K – Mariah Holliday; kindergarten – Ka’Layah Ragin;, first grade — Trinity Harris; and second grade — Madison Oliver. ST. PAUL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Dae’sha Green from Clarendon School District 1 has been selected to participate in the Special Olympics USA Games in New Jersey. She will compete in Track and Field Events against athletes from around the United States. The games will be held in June 2014. Daresay is a fifth-grade student at St. Paul Elementary. She is the daughter of Felicia Riley and granddaughter of Dorothy Riley of Pinewood. SCOTT’S BRANCH MIDDLE/HIGH

Scott’s Branch Middle/ High School held its annual Muffins for Mom on Sept. 20 in the high school’s commons area. More than 75 moms, grandmothers and/or aunts came to fellowship with each other and greet the Principal Dr. Gwendolyn Harris, and Assistant Principal Shelia Barringer. Warm fresh muffins along with choice of juice and coffee were offered to the moms as they mingled and shared conversation. The Muffin for Moms is a special way of saying “thank you” to parents for their support of the staff and administration, school activities and their children. This event was coordinated by the Parent Activities Committee members. The Scott’s Branch Middle School math teachers are working with a brand new math series that’s offering students instruction without the traditional hardcover textbook. The Clarendon 1 School District adopted the new Digits Program which provides the students an in-depth approach to the New Common Core Standards using on-line access. Elizabeth Jordan, a curriculum specialist for the Pearson Publishing Co., came to Scott’s Branch Middle School on Sept. 20 to provide hands-on training to the teachers who will be using the program. Ethel Lemon says she enjoyed the training and looks forward to using the Digits curriculum in her classes. — Beverly Spry

Stroll the

Historic District Meet friends at 3rd Porches of Sumter BY IVY MOORE ivym@theitem.com

hen’s the last time you enjoyed a leisurely stroll around tree-lined streets, a hint of cooler nights to come on the breeze, and running into friends and neighbors, enjoying a glass of wine, good food and conversation? For many of us it was last October during the Porches of Sumter event. With the leaves beginning to turn and autumn easing in, it’s time to celebrate the 3rd Annual Porches of Sumter, hosted from 6 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 3 by the Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce and 10 homeowners in the heart of town. Nancy Lee Zimpleman, Vice President of Membership Development with the Chamber of Commerce, is coordinating the porch tour for the third year. She said she enjoys making the plans and getting things ready almost as much as the actual event. “It gives people a chance to see the historic area of the city,” Zimpleman said. “It’s such a beautiful area and such an asset.” And, she pointed out, “It gives people an opportunity not just to see the beautiful porches, but to visit with friends. They meet up with friends and stroll from porch to porch together, meeting others along the way.” With 10 stops and ticket sales limited to 300, “There’s no wait at any of the homes,” Zimpleman said. Participants can begin and end at any of the homes.

PORCHES ON THE TOUR ARE: • McGregor – 330 W. Calhoun St. • Rhoads – 333 W. Calhoun St. • Newman – 122 N. Salem St. • Curtis and Croft Law Firm – 325 W. Calhoun St. • Arrington – 316 W. Calhoun St. • Doyle – 28 Park Ave. • Cannarella – 24 Park Ave • Bolen – 115 N. Salem Ave • Corley – 338 W. Calhoun St. • Gibson – 344 W. Calhoun St.

Porches of Sumter ticket holders will enjoy a variety of dessert items on this porch across from Memorial Park.

MORE THAN JUST A TOUR

FOOD, TICKETS AND MORE

Porches of Sumter is more than just a tour; food and beverages, including wine and beer, will be available at each site. Zimpleman said the funds from ticket sales offset the cost of the food. “Most of the homeowners will serve dishes provided by chefs and caterers,” she said, “but some, like (Flo) Arrington, like to do their own cooking each year. Last year, she served shrimp and grits, which was very popular.” Judy and Sonny Newman will serve chicken bog cooked by Jonathan Teseniar, and “Mark and Amy Gibson will have what they call Sumter style surf and turf – pulled pork and oyster shooters,” Zimpleman said. Other dishes at the various porches will include shrimp Creole, Carolina caviar, cheese wafers, shrimp and tomato grits, catfish bites, she crab soup, loaded potato soup, desserts and more. Zimpleman said the stroll is a short one, as the six homes on Calhoun Street and two each on Park and Salem avenues, “pretty much surround Memorial Park.” Ticket holders must check in at the fountain on the Calhoun Street side of Memorial Park to trade their tickets for an armband, she said. Any tickets that remain can be purchased there on the night of the event, also.

Caterers are Baker’s Sweets Bakery and Café, Catering for All Occasions, Gravy and Shoney’s; guest chefs are Jane Sterling, Jonathan Teseniar and Pilgrims, Inc.; Mac’s Place Spirits will also provide wine for the occasion. Sponsoring the event are Platinum Sponsor, First Citizens Bank; and Porch Sponsors, Baker’s Sweets Bakery and Café, McLaughlin Ford, NBSC, Pilgrims, Inc. and Tuomey Healthcare System, Tickets are $25 before the event and $30 at registration the night of the event. However, tickets go fast and are expected to sell out as they did last year. Purchase advance tickets at the Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce, 32 E. Calhoun St., call to reserve at (803) 775-1231, or register online at www.sumterchamber.com. The Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce is the premier business organization in Sumter County, representing almost a thousand members in areas such as advocacy, networking and business resources. For more information, contact the Chamber at (803) 775-1231 or log on to the website at www.sumterchamber.com.

ARTS from Page C1 is also the curator and assistant director of the Sumter County Galley of Art,” Bryan said. “He is bringing an exhibition in the Emerging Artists series that will be in the Patriot Hall/Gallery 135 during the festival. Eric Bultman (executive director of the Sumter Little Theatre) is directing two short plays that can be seen at 8 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday; and Karen Watson, director of the Sumter County Gallery of Art, will keep the gallery open so that those attending the festival” can view the exhibitions “Question Bridge: Black

Male” and Stacey Lynn Waddell’s “Black, Burst and Boom.” Bryan is excited about the talent line-up. The music ranges from folk and bluegrass to rock, pop, jazz, gospel and even a little light classical. Patriot Hall’s technical director, David Shoemaker, also a drummer, has been instrumental in finding bands and individual musicians to play during the festival, Bryan said. His own rock band, Casino Club, fresh from its gig at the “Living Canvas” show, will open the entertainment at 5 p.m. Friday.

Southerners know there’s nothing like a nice visit on the front porch. The 3rd Annual Porches of Sumter tour offers that opportunity at 10 different sites in the heart of Sumter.

Dance is on the schedule for both Friday night and Saturday afternoon, with groups from Miss Libby’s School of Dance and the Sumter Civic Dance Company performing. Expect to see some contemporary and traditional dance forms from these outstanding companies. Sumter Little Theatre actors Braden Bunch, Traci Quinn and Luther Barnett will appear in the one-act plays, Bunch in a solo performance, Quinn and Barnett together. Bunch described his play as “a man and his chair,” noting the laidback style of playwright Tom Bodett, known by many for his Motel 6

commercials (“We’ll leave the light on for you”) and the NPR quiz program, “Wait Wait ... Don’t Tell Me.” “Exploded” is often called his best play, with Bodett’s dry humor and masterful storytelling. “I’m Herbert,” with Quinn and Barnett, is one of four short plays comprising “You Know I Can’t Hear You When the Water’s Running,” by Robert Anderson. The actors portray a very elderly couple in conversation on their porch, oblivious to how hilarious they are. In addition, Bryan said, the relatively new rock band Kerolinea will perform, Joe Sanford will play blues, Allen

Hinnant will deliver some folk, pop and maybe a little country, Robert Gibbs will play pop and jazz, and William Gerald will play his signature jazz. Gospel with Sumter Justified, variety with 4 Way Stop and Joy Ride and more can be heard. “There will be something going on at all times,” Bryan said. A variety of food and beverages will be available on the Patriot Hall grounds. Bryan said the festival will also serve as a fundraiser for the Sumter County Cultural Commission. “We’re planning a lot more events at the center, and the funds raised

will be used to produce and promote cultural activities around the county. “The artists are donating their time and talent,” she said, “and we’re suggesting donations by those attending. We have admission prices for one-, two- or three-day tickets of $10, $15 and $25, and if you buy one, you get another free. Of course, we won’t deny admission to anyone.” Tickets can be picked up at Patriot Hall, SEACO Music, Freed School of Performing Arts, Miss Libby’s School of Dance and Leonard’s Music. For more information call (803) 436-2260.

NATION

Gas prices fall as weather, output calm markets

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A man pumps gas Friday in Montpelier, Vt. The national average price of gasoline has fallen the month, sliding to $3.42 per gallon from $3.59 at the start of the month.

NEW YORK (AP) — Gasoline prices have fallen steadily throughout September, and drivers should look forward to even cheaper fill-ups in the weeks ahead. The national average price for a gallon of gasoline is now $3.42, down from $3.59 on Sept. 1. The price is the lowest it’s been at this time of year since 2010 and is likely to keep falling. “It’s a layup for me to predict lower prices until Columbus Day weekend,” said Tom Kloza, Chief Oil Analyst at GasBuddy.com and

Oil Price Information Service, which tracks retail and wholesale gasoline prices. Wholesale gasoline prices have fallen faster in recent days than pump prices, so drivers can expect to pay even less as the pump prices catch up. Gas prices tend to fall soon after Labor Day, but last year they didn’t start dropping until midOctober. There are a few reasons for this fall’s decline in price, experts say: • Refiners can switch to cheaper blends of gasoline in the win-

ter months as clean-air rules are relaxed. • Gasoline demand declines in the fall after the summer driving season ends. At the same time supplies rise because refiners are still making gasoline as they keep operations humming to make heating oil for winter and diesel and jet fuel for shippers. • Refineries have been relatively problem free compared with last year. No hurricanes have hit, and there have been few unexpected problems at refineries or pipelines.

James Spader stars in “The Blacklist,” airing at 10:01 p.m. Monday on NBC.

James Spader takes on a new role, but is his character good or bad? Only time will tell on "The Blacklist," airing Monday at 10:01 p.m. on NBC.

THE ITEM

Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader) is a rogue government agent turned fugitive criminal who had given himself up to the FBI on "The Blacklist," airing Monday at 10:01 p.m. on NBC. He agreed to help the government with cases, but only if he was allowed to work with rookie FBI profiler Liz Keen (Megan Boone). And during her very first day on the job, Red helped Liz catch a terrorist. This brings up many questions. Why does Red want to work with an agent who is so green? And why has he turned himself in now? These are questions the producers promise will be answered. "We love great movie bad guys, Keyser Söze being one of them from 'Usual Suspects,'" says executive producer Jon Bokenkamp, "and the idea that (executive producer John) Fox had presented was what would happen if one of these guys started to talk. What kinds of stories would he tell and what different worlds would he be able to take us into? "It is sort of a strange hybrid in terms of what the show is because each week we are going to go out and dip into a different world of crime," Bokenkamp continues. "We're going to go find criminals that, as we present in the pilot, the FBI may not know exist. I think there's an opportunity to sort of, you know, have fun with the vari-

ous people who were involved in crime in ways that we have not seen before. So, each week we will have a different criminal, but I think the reason you come back to the show, or at least what excites me about it, are the people and the secrets that they have and what's happening at home. I think in most procedural type shows, you don't go home. You stay at the office or in the bullpen where they're solving the crime, and here it's essential that we go home. It is a little bit of a delicate balance of going out and solving a crime each week and also going home and meeting these people. But I think that's what's sort of special about the show." As for how soon viewers find out why Red is back, Bokenkamp is a bit cagey. "It is a series long question, but it's not simple enough that it's something we will answer right up front. I mean, why this man has come back and introduced himself and inserted himself into her life is - there are many reasons, so I think along the way we're going to sort of address and get into the various reasons behind why he's come back. Ultimately it may be a singular thing, but to me, I sort of see it as a whole meal. There are a lot of intricacies that we can dip into." Spader created the look of the character with something specific in mind, and from the first day of shooting he wanted to give Red authenticity. "I knew the very first

thing when I got to New York to shoot the pilot - I had very long hair - that they were going to shoot a surveillance photo of Reddington to have on the wall there when he surrenders himself," says Spader. "I thought it would be just a great moment when he surrenders himself, he takes his hat off, and the juxtaposition of the shot of him with long hair and then like this," Spader points to his shaved head. "And because actors are burdened with everything else that they've done before in any role that they're playing, I thought it would be nice to take off my hat and it's an entirely different person and a very different look to go with that. "But working backward from there, you know, the way his life has been for the last 20 years, he moves very swiftly through his life. He's moving from place to place very quickly. I thought he should have a haircut that he can do himself if he cares to or he can go to some barbershop in a little town in Cambodia, and they can cut his hair in 10 minutes. I just thought it was streamlined, and his clothes are like that, too, in that he looks well dressed, but they are traveling clothes. You know, he wears clothes that he can go from a bank to a cave and he's dressed accordingly. And he's also in a lot of different climates over the last 20 years, so I thought it would be appropriate that he dress and look as if he's able to move through the world easily and comfortably."
