Public safety complex site plan gets OK

BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com Sumter City-County Planning Commission recommended approval of the major site plan for the upcoming Sumter Public Safety Complex on North Lafayette Drive during its meeting on Wednesday.

The complex, one of Sumter’s 2016 Capital Penny Sales Tax projects, will be next to Walgreens on North Lafayette Drive, between East Cal-

houn Street and Loring Drive.

The complex will include two structures — a 36,080-square-foot City of Sumter Police Headquarters building and a 21,617-squarefoot Sumter Fire Headquarters building and four-bay fire station – with brick exteriors and medium bronze-colored metal roofs.

There will be 149 parking spaces, 32 for public use, and entrance or exit points on North Lafayette Drive, Grier Street and Myrtle Street.

According to a draft traffic im-

pact analysis provided by the applicant, the complex is expected to increase traffic in the area by adding about 550 vehicle trips.

Also, the commission voted to defer a request to amend the city’s development standards ordinance regarding the use of off-premise real estate signs so the group could continue discussing the matter during a second work session sometime in the future.

Goodwin sells auto mall to family-owned dealer

DNR offers tips on safe archery at the fair

BY RICK CARPENTER rick@theitem.com

Already out of ride tickets and need more for the kids to do?

One place where kids visiting the Sumter County Fair can have a little fun and learn about an activity for free is at the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources archery exhibit inside the Farmers Market building.

“It’s a great way to get the kids off the couch and away from their cellphones,” said DNR Ranger William Matthews as he and Sgt. Eddie Monts waited near an inflatable archery unit for fairgoers to arrive.

Matthews said the exhibit it is a part of the department’s ongoing Hunter Education Section.

“We give the kids some instruction in basic archery technique,” Matthews said.

You won’t find a paper target taped to a few bales of hay at this exhibit, however.

The brightly colored inflatable archery unit provides moving targets for the young archers by keeping several bright plastic balls suspended on streams of air

Ten years after Time magazine awarded Cliff Goodwin the top-quality dealership award for South Carolina, he announced plans Monday to sell Goodwin Auto Mall by the end of the year.

Goodwin told his 32 employees during an emotional meeting where he named the new dealer as Vann York Auto Group based in High Point, North Carolina.

“It was an emotional time for everyone,” he said. “I have great employees — the best I’ve ever had in 50 years.

“The highlight of my career has been working with my employees and customers,” Goodwin said.

He said owning dealerships often requires working 10hour days. He also serves on the board of directors for the National Automobile Dealers Association and travels a lot in that capacity.

Goodwin, 68, said he and his wife, Vicki, decided to sell the dealership so that he could retire and spend more time with his grandchildren and enjoy leisurely travel.

Public schools assessment results released

BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com South Carolina Department of Education recently released public school results for the ACT, SAT, AP and WorkKeys assessments taken by high school students in the 2015-2016 school year.

Last school year, the testmaker of SAT, the College Board, redesigned the SAT assessment. The majority of the seniors from the 2015-16 school year took the old SAT, which was last administered in January 2016. The redesigned SAT was first administered in March 2016.

All 11th-grade students in the spring of 2016 took both The ACT and ACT WorkKeys assessments.

The ACT is a curriculum-based achievement test that measures the skills taught in schools and deemed important for success in first-year college courses. ACT WorkKeys is a workplace skills assessment that identifies how prepared students are for available jobs and careers.

Both tests were administered to all 11th-graders for the first time in 2015.

SAT This report includes senior test-takers who took the SAT before March 2016.

Scores listed below represent “mean” scores for the SAT for local districts. The “mean” score represents the sum of the total scores of all students who took the test divided by the number of tests taken.

Sumter School District saw a decline in its mean SAT scores, a drop of 37 points in its composite score ffrom 1345 to 1308.

LOCAL & STATE BRIEFS

There were 281 students who took the exam in 2016 compared to 303 who took it in 2015.

No test information was available for Clarendon School District 1.

Clarendon School District 2 saw a 157 point decrease in scores, from 1603 to 1446, although there were only nine seniors who took the exam in 2016, and only six who took it in 2015.

Clarendon School District 3 had a 100 point increase in scores, from 1376 to 1476. Sixteen seniors took the exam in 2016, compared to 41 who took it in 2015.

Lee County School District saw a 45 point increase in scores, from 1056 to 1101. Fifty-two students took the exam this year, compared to 56 who took it last year.

ACT The American College Testing is a college readiness assessment standardized test for high school achievement and college admissions in the U.S. For the first time, all 11th-grade students in the state were required to take the test in the spring of 2016.

The ACT is a national college admissions examination that consists of subject area tests in English, math, reading and science. The ACT also includes a 40-minute writing test.

The percentage of 11th grade students who scored “ready” on the ACT by subject area were: Sumter School District: 29 percent (English), 10.8 percent (math), 24.4 percent (reading), 14.5 percent (science).

Clarendon 1: 30.6 percent (English), 0 percent (math), 8.3 percent (reading), 5.6 percent (science).

County council moves ahead with cellphone tower amendment

BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com Sumter County Council approved second reading to amend the county zoning and development standards ordinance regarding fall-zone setbacks for cellphone towers in non-residential areas during its regular meeting on Tuesday.

The amendment would allow applicants to have specific fall-zone setbacks designed for each tower as determined by a state-certified engineer.

Sumter City-County Planning Department Director George McGregor said the existing standard requiring fall-zone setbacks to match the height of the tower is based on the idea that

cellphone towers will fall down horizontally.

He said new designs for towers will make the structures collapse on themselves rather than fall horizontally, thereby reducing the required fallzone setback.

McGregor said the amendment will allow cellphone service providers to construct towers in urban areas with a higher density of people but smaller available parcels of land.

The amendment will also apply to existing cellphone towers, he said.

If existing fall-zone setbacks are reviewed and altered by a state-certified engineer, the setback can be reduced, he said.

McGregor said new language has

been added to the amendment to include that applicants who do not wish to have a state-certified engineer determine fall zones will have to follow the existing standard of matching the tower height to the fall-zone setback.

Later, council voted in favor of a resolution to support the continued use of prescribed, or controlled, fires in the state.

South Carolina Forestry Commission Fire Chief of Wild Fires Darryl Jones said the commission is trying to get resolutions in support of continuing prescribed fires throughout the state.

He said the goal is to make South Carolina residents aware of the signif-

icance of controlled fires. “We use fire as a tool,” he said.

Jones said prescribed fires are used to prevent wild fires, improve habitats for animals and prepare farmland for new crops.

In other news: • County council approved second reading of an ordinance to transfer authority to conduct municipal elections in the town of Mayesville to Sumter County Election Commission; and • Sumter County Public Safety Committee held an executive session to receive a presentation by Sumter County Sheriff Anthony Dennis regarding an investigation of criminal conduct.

No action was taken by the committee.

Eyes on the prize

KEITH GEDAMKE / THE SUMTER ITEM

AJ Hawkins, 3, and his father, Adam Hawkins, compete for prizes in the water gun race at the Sumter County Fair on Tuesday evening.

Saudi Arabia has ways to hit back at 9/11 lawsuit attempt DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Saudi Arabia and its allies are warning that U.S. legislation allowing the kingdom to be sued for the 9/11 attacks will have negative repercussions.

The kingdom maintains an arsenal of tools to retaliate with, including curtailing official contacts, pulling billions of dollars from the U.S. economy, and persuading its close allies in the Gulf Cooperation Council to scale back counterterrorism cooperation, investments and U.S. access to important regional air bases.

“This should be clear to America and to the rest of the world: When one GCC state is targeted unfairly, the others stand around it,” said Abdulkhaleq Abdullah, an Emirati Gulf specialist and professor of political science at United Arab Emirates University.

“All the states will stand by Saudi Arabia in every way possible,” he said.

When Saudi Arabia wanted to pressure Qatar to limit its support for the Muslim Brotherhood group in Egypt, it spearheaded an unprecedented withdrawal of Gulf Arab ambassadors from Doha in 2014 and essentially isolated the tiny gas-rich nation within the GCC. When Sweden’s Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom strongly criticized Saudi Arabia’s human rights record last year, the kingdom unleashed a fierce diplomatic salvo that jolted Stockholm’s standing in the Arab world and threatened Swedish business interests in the Gulf. Sweden eventually backpedaled.

On Wednesday, the Senate and House voted to override President Obama’s veto of the Sept.

11 legislation, with lawmakers saying their priority wasn’t Saudi Arabia, but the 9/11 victims and their families.

Chas Freeman, former U.S. assistant secretary of defense for international security affairs and ambassador to Saudi Arabia during Desert Storm, said the Saudis could respond in ways that risk U.S. strategic interests, like permissive rules for overflight between Europe and Asia and the Qatari air base from which U.S. military operations in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria are directed and supported.

“The souring of relations and curtailing of official contacts that this legislation would inevitably produce could also jeopardize Saudi cooperation against anti-American terrorism,”

he said.

Fahad Nazer, an analyst at intelligence consultancy JTG and a former political analyst at the Saudi Embassy in Washington, said he’d be surprised if Saudi Arabia cut back counterterrorism cooperation.

Still, relations with Washington had already cooled well before the 9/11 bill sailed through both chambers of Congress.

The Saudis perceived the Obama Administration’s securing of a nuclear deal with Iran as a pivot toward its regional nemesis. There was also Obama’s criticism of Gulf countries in an interview earlier this year.

Obama had vetoed the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, or JASTA, arguing that allowing U.S. courts to waive foreign sovereign immunity could lead other foreign governments to act “reciprocally” by giving their courts the right to exercise jurisdiction over the U.S. and its employees for overseas actions.

These could include deadly U.S. drone strikes and abuses committed by U.S.-trained police units or U.S.-backed militias.

Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir told reporters in June that the U.S. has the most to lose if JASTA is enacted. Despite reports that Riyadh threatened to pull billions of dollars from the U.S. economy if the bill becomes law, al-Jubeir says Saudi Arabia has only warned that investor confidence in the U.S. could decline. The kingdom had $96.5 billion in holdings of Treasury securities in August, according to the most recent number released by the Treasury Department. Saudi Arabia ranked 15th in its holdings of U.S. Treasury debt.

Gagnon, who previously worked at the U.S. Federal Reserve Board and Treasury, said there isn’t much realistically the kingdom could do to move against the dollar or other U.S. assets “that would hurt us a tenth as much as it would hurt them.” He said the U.S. would actually welcome downward pressure on the dollar and questioned what other markets are big enough to absorb what they could sell.

Abdullah, the Gulf analyst at UAE University, said he expects to see a GCC that acts more assertively and independently of the U.S. in places like Yemen, Bahrain and Egypt.

“This is not just a threat. This is a reality,” he said.

POLICE BLOTTER CHARGES Jasmine Monet Greene, 25, of 350 Harmony Court Apt. 4, was arrested on Tuesday after she allegedly threw cans of food at victims, attempted to hit the victims with her vehicle and yelled profanities at the victims while repeatedly driving past the victims’ residence.

According to an incident report from Sumter County Sheriff’s Office, the victim has a no contact order against Greene. She is charged with first degree assault and battery, and first degree harassment.

STOLEN PROPERTY A black Glock 23 40-caliber handgun with a green handle, night sights and magazine valued at $700; a Blackhawk paddle holster valued at $45; a black Stinger flashlight valued at $115; and two JL Audio 5-by-7 speakers valued at $150 were stolen from the center console of a truck while it was parked in the parking lot of a business in the 900 block of North Main St. between

7:45 a.m. and noon on Friday. According to an incident report from Sumter Police Department, the victim said the vehicle may have been unlocked.

A Springfield XDM 40-caliber handgun valued at $500; a Glock .380 handgun valued at $500; a 20-caliber firearm valued at $300; an Xbox valued at $200; a Samsung TV valued at $1,500; and various pieces of jewelry valued at about $1,700 were reportedly stolen from a residence in the 1000 block of East Brewington Road between 9:15 a.m. and about 9:30 p.m. on Sunday.

A black 45-inch RCA TV valued at $500, a black 36-inch RCA TV valued at $200, an LG surround sound system valued at $300, two Michael Kors watches valued at $500 and $80 in cash were reportedly stolen from a residence in the 200 block of Red & White Street between 5 a.m. and about 3:15 p.m. on Tuesday.

DAMAGED PROPERTY A rental property in the 800 block of Broad Street sustained approximately $3,500 in damage when the tenant allegedly put holes in the walls of the residence on Tuesday. The suspect also caused about $2,000 in damage to a gray 2005 Chevrolet Malibu parked in the area.

JERUSALEM (AP) — At every corner of Israel’s tumultuous history, Shimon Peres was there.

He was a young aide to the nation’s founding fathers when the country declared independence in 1948, and he played a key role in turning Israel into a military power.

He was part of the negotiations that sealed the first Israeli-Palestinian peace accord, garnering a Nobel Peace Prize. He was welcomed like royalty in world capitals.

But only at the end of a political career stretching more than 60 years did Peres, who died Wednesday at the age of 93, finally win the widespread admiration of his own people that had eluded him for so long.

Peres began a new chapter at age 83, assuming the nation’s presidency following a scandal that forced his predecessor to step down. The job cemented Peres’ transformation from down-and-dirty political operator or naive peace proponent to elder statesman and a wise, grandfatherly sage who transcended political divisions.

“After such a long career, let me just say something: My appetite to manage is over. My inclination to dream and to envisage is greater,” Peres told The Associated Press in an interview on July 15, 2007, moments before he was sworn in as president.

He said he would not allow his age, or the constraints of a largely ceremonial office, to slow him down. “I’m not in a hurry to pass away,” Peres said. “The day will come that I shall not forget to pass away. But until then, I’m not going to waste my life.

The White House said Wednesday night that President Obama will lead a U.S. delegation to Jerusalem to attend Peres’ funeral on Friday.

As president, Peres tirelessly jetted around the world to represent his country at conferences, ceremonies and international gatherings. He was a fixture at the annual World Economic Forum gathering in Davos, Switzerland, where he was treated like a rock star as the world’s wealthy and powerful listened to his every word, on topics ranging from Mideast peace to nanotechnology to the wonders of the human brain.

He also became Israel’s moderate face at a time when the nation was led by hard-line Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

It was his 1994 Nobel Prize that established Peres’ manof-peace image. He proudly displayed the prize — which he shared with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat — on the desk of his presidential office.

Pope Francis asperses incense as he celebrates a Jubilee Mass for catechists at the Vatican on Sunday.

Pope backs opposition to Mexico’s gay-marriage push VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis has voiced support for Mexican bishops and citizens opposing the government’s push to legalize same-sex marriage.

At his weekly Sunday blessing, Francis said he willingly joined their protest “in favor of family and life, which in these times require special pastoral and cultural attention around the world.”

Tens of thousands of people marched through Mexico City on Saturday to protest President Enrique Pena Nieto’s proposal on mar-

riage. Wearing white, they held banners warning against same-sex marriage and demanding parents’ right to control sex education in schools.

Francis has opposed gay marriage and has railed against “gender ideology,” particularly as taught in schools. But he rarely intervenes publicly in national debates, preferring to let local bishops take the lead.

Francis visited the overwhelmingly Roman Catholic Mexico in February.

here are some who have political views and some who only have political views.

The second group is scared right now, as anyone who places their hope solely in humanity should be. Whoever resides in the White House determines the ultimate future for our country, and if the right person isn’t elected, we are doomed.

On occasion, I number among the alarmists in the second group. It’s easy to get wrapped up in the political chaos of an election year, especially one as fraught with accusations of wrongdoing and mudslinging as this one is.

Then there is the crush of information streaming from every political pundit and media outlet, all hoping to edge out the next with salacious information about the candidates. It’s the most important decision of our lifetime, they say, and we are inclined to believe it. If there were any truth to their gloom-anddoom forecasts, it would be a bleak horizon.

While responsible citizens are tasked with wading through the mire of an election-year news cycle, I feel like most of us are aching for clarity or at least some solid footing. I have yet to find a reliable human outlet in this endeavor.

I have found it by viewing our world from God’s perspective as outlined in Scripture. So here is a bit of clarity for those with a clouded perspective: God is still in control.

(Psalm 22:28) He holds our future.

(Prov. 19:21) He wants good for us.

(Jere. 29:11) There are competing interests all around us that try to convince us to see things differently from this clear, spiritual perspective. will lie, cheat Faith Matters They and mislead so they JAMIE H. can further their WILSON agendas. Our Almighty God will never ask us to compromise so that His will is accomplished, and that is an idea I can fully endorse.

There is a second benefit to adopting a Godly perspective in the election process: We begin to serve one another because we realize that lasting change starts in the individual. God desires that his people show mercy and give grace to those around us so that we can point them to the source of that grace. We could — dare I say — affect the world more effectively than we would in the simple act of casting our vote.

Your political views are important, as is the act of voting, but it isn’t the only important thing. Set your sights on a higher calling, and you’ll find the stress and confusion of the political election melt away.

Pray diligently that God uses you, in whatever way, to create change in our world in a way that honors him.

Disabled man gets restricted driver’s license DETROIT (AP) — Former Indy Racing League driver Sam Schmidt has done a lot in the 16 years since an accident left him paralyzed from the neck down. He runs a racing team and a foundation. He’s raced a sailboat using his chin. But the man who raced in the Indianapolis 500 hasn’t been able to drive around his neighborhood — until now.

Schmidt received the first license restricted to an autonomous vehicle in the U.S. on Wednesday. The license allows him to drive on Nevada roads in his specially modified Corvette, which requires no hands on its steering wheel or feet on its pedals. Schmidt uses head motions to control the car’s direction.

Fully driverless cars — several steps beyond the car that Schmitt is driving — are expected to reach U.S. roads in the next five to 10 years, and the disabled community is eager for their arrival. More than 4 million people in the U.S. need assistance with daily tasks such as eating or leaving home, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Others have less severe disabilities but are still unable to drive.

Disabled people are less likely than the non-disabled to be employed and are more likely to experience poverty, the bureau says. But that could change with the arrival of self-driving cars.

“It’s coming. We’re looking for something to help us get that level of independence,” Schmidt said.

Schmidt is the bridge to that future. His car isn’t fully autonomous; it uses four cameras to monitor his head and transmit his movements to the tires. He breathes into a tube to accelerate and sucks the air out when he wants to brake. The car isn’t practical for most people. Centennial, Colorado-based Arrow Electronics bought and modified Schmidt’s $80,000 2016 Corvette Z06. It spent an additional six figures on cameras, sensors and computers and even more to add a steering wheel and brake pedals on the passenger side.

Schmidt’s license requires that a licensed driver accompany him in the passenger seat to take over in case of emergency. When he drives, Schmidt must follow a pilot car. He can’t drive in ice or snow. Those restrictions could

said Joe Verrengia, Arrow’s global director of social responsibility.

The license means an end to 16 years in the passenger seat of a conversion van for trips around town.

“My wife hates driving that van. It makes us look like we’re 75 and retired,” said Schmidt, 52.

Schmidt is thrilled by the pace of improvement in technology. Within the first year of his partnership with Arrow, in an earlier version of his Corvette, Schmidt completed qualifying laps at the 2014 Indianapolis 500. Earlier this year, he raced to the summit of Pike’s Peak.

Schmidt, who co-owns the racing team Schmidt Peterson Motorsports and is chairman of the Conquer Paralysis Now foundation, can hardly narrow the list when asked where he wants to drive first. One stop is the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, where he won a race in 1999. He’d also like to cruise down the Las Vegas strip. And one simple pleasure: A trip to the drive-thru at In-N-Out Burger.

“It might be kind of fun just to sit there in line with 15 other people,” he said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Former Indy Racing League driver Sam Schmidt exits his modified Corvette on Tuesday in Las Vegas. Schmidt, paralyzed from the neck down in a crash 16 years ago, is set to receive the first autonomous vehicle driver’s license in the U.S. eventually be eased, Nevada officials say.

Some in the disabled community would like to move directly to fully self-driving cars, which wouldn’t require licenses at all, says Henry Claypool, policy director of the Community Living Policy Center at the University of California, San Francisco.

“There are some people who are just so isolated that it really compromises their abil-

ity to enjoy their basic civil rights,” Claypool said.

But Claypool says it’s important to be patient and work with the industry now so when autonomous vehicles do arrive, they’re accessible.

“There are real barriers to transportation and we need to be clear about what those are,” said Claypool, who is wheelchair-bound but drives a $62,000 modified minivan.

“Sam is our astronaut,”

he afternoon sun spotlights the majestic façade of a mansion, seen through the gates that keep out all but the chosen. The gates of heaven are never closed to anyone; our Father opens His arms to us all. He only requires that we trust in Him. He wants us to join Him in His mansion. We strive to reach our spiritual goals, but often our human nature gets in the way. Learn how to reach your goals with God’s help at your house of worship; walk through His gate, it’s always open.

SHOOTING

Commission member J. Todd Champion said he would like the commission to further define the size, quantity and locations of the signs before voting whether to recommend approval of the amendment to Sumter City Council.

Champion said he understands the need for off-premise signs for newer neighborhoods that may not be on a GPS system but said he is worried about the possible aesthetic disturbance that could be caused with multiple signs placed in one area.

The commission will also study how other jurisdictions in the state handle off-site signage during its work session.

Later, the planning commission approved a request to rezone approximately two acres at 8295 Camden Highway from agricultural conservation to general commercial to build a Dollar General store on the property.

According to a staff report provided by the planning department, the store could be developed in the agricultural conservation district as a conditional use under an enhanced review process. Other uses could also be developed on the property as conditional uses if the applicant decides to sell the property in the future, according to the report.

The report states many of the uses allowed within general commercial districts could likely be considered incompatible if developed in areas that are characterized by rural and agricultural uses, such as the proposed area.

Commission member John Acken voted in opposition of recommending rezoning the property. He said it would not be too much to ask for the applicant to go through the process of requesting to develop the store as a conditional use in the agricultural conservation district.

County sheriff’s office said. Both students were male. The female teacher was hit in the shoulder.

Before the shooting at Townville Elementary about 1:45 p.m., the teen gunned down his 47-year-old father, Jeffrey Osborne, at their home about 2 miles from the school, authorities said.

“We are heartbroken about this senseless act of violence,” said Joanne Avery, superintendent of Anderson County School District 4. She canceled classes for the rest of the week.

Authorities did not release a motive for the shooting. They said they weren’t sure if the students and teacher were targeted.

Asked about the teen’s relationship to the students, Major said “I know they all go to school together.” He later said the teen was being homeschooled and didn’t clarify his earlier remark.

Authorities said they believe there was only one shooter and that all other students at Townville Elementary were safe. The students were bused to a nearby church and reunited with their parents. They hugged and kissed.

The school has about 300 students in its pre-kindergarten to sixth-grade classrooms. It is in a very rural part of the state and surrounded by working farms.

“This is the country,” Brandi Pierce, the mother of a sixth-grader, told The Associated Press as she began to cry. “You don’t have this in the country. It just don’t exist out here.”

Jamie Meredith, a student’s mother, said some of the children went into a bathroom during the shooting.

“I don’t know how they knew to go in the bathroom, but I know her teacher was shaken up. I know all the kids were scared. There was a bunch of kids crying. She didn’t talk for about 5 minutes when I got her,” she told WYFF. Television images showed officers swarming the school after the report of an active shooter. Some were on top of the roof while others were walking around the building. Students were driven away on buses accompanied by police officers.

Gov. Nikki Haley released a statement shortly after the shooting.

“As we work together with law enforcement to make sure they have the support they need to investigate what happened in Townville, Michael and I ask that everyone across South Carolina join us in praying for the entire Townville Elementary School family and those touched by today’s tragedy.”

The rural town is located along Interstate 85 near the Georgia-South Carolina state line.

company’s attributes match the Goodwin model of a family-owned business that becomes active in the community and develops long-term relationships with customers. He said he plans to keep the employee team in place, YORK if possible.

York named Tim Sturdivant as general manager and part owner of the dealership after the sale.

STURDIVANT Goodwin currently owns dealerships for Honda, Volkswagen and Mitsubishi. Vann York will purchase the Honda and Volkswagen dealerships, and Goodwin will close out the Mitsubishi dealership.

Goodwin’s father, Clifford C.

Goodwin Jr., opened a Buick dealership in Sumter in 1950 at a time after World War II that vehicle production had just begun to ramp back up.

In the early ’40s, the federal government converted auto manufacturing plants to producing Jeeps, tanks and aircraft. When Goodwin Jr. started the Buick dealership, customers had to wait in line for orders of new vehicles.

He then opened a Volkswagen dealership in 1962 and added a Honda dealership in 1975 in the infancy of the motorcycle-turned-car manufacturer.

Current owner Clifford C. Goodwin III, who goes by “Cliff,” picked up the Mitsubishi line in 1991 from Ernest Baker and sold the Buick dealership to the Jones family in 2006.

He consolidated his current dealerships at Goodwin Auto Mall in 1993.

Hunting is a major pastime for South Carolinians, Monts said, and many hunters prefer to use bows and arrows to bag game as small as a rabbit or as big as a deer. He said it is a good thing when kids can be introduced to a sport in a safe environment.

You can’t win any big fluffy stuffed animals or plastic jewelry at the archery

to get a taste of the sport and learn some safety tips as well, Williams said. In archery, a bow is measured by the amount of force needed to pull the string back to the fulldraw position.

“We just serve up some hands-on basic instruction on the correct way to hold a bow,” Matthews said.

He said the exhibit is part of the National Archery in Schools Program, which is intended to interest young people in the ancient sport.

Several schools in the state offer archery programs, according to Matthews, and the

Goodwin started working for his father in high school cleaning cars. He worked his way into the parts department, briefly as a mechanic — which he says was “short lived” because of his lack of mechanical skills — and eventually into sales, sales manager and then general manager.

He worked five years parttime while in high school and college and 46 years as a fulltime employee. With the knowledge that he would likely take over his father’s business at some point, Goodwin earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Presbyterian College.

Cliff Goodwin’s quality dealership award from Time came 26 years after his father won the award in 1980.

His father gradually awarded him shares of the business until he died in 2002, when Cliff became the sole stock holder.

Through the years, Goodwin said he has watched consumers shift to the internet to

“We give them a sticker,” Monts said. “The big winner is the kids getting into archery and outdoors and getting some exercise and enjoying some of the state’s natural resources.”

search for cars, but the business didn’t become obsolete like many prognosticators had predicted with the advent of the internet. He calls the process now “Bricks and Clicks.” He said many customers now search for vehicles and prices online then go to the dealerships to test drive and purchase vehicles. He said when customers come in, they’re often more educated and ready to make a decision.

He said the quality of vehicles has improved immensely

since he started. He’s also noticed a huge difference in fuel economy, noting that average mileages per gallon for vehicles in the 1970s sputtered to reach 15 mpg while many current vehicles exceed 30 mpg.

And few people dreamed of electric cars.

Goodwin said he expects to close on the sale of the dealerships as soon as the vehicle manufacturing companies sign off on the agreement, sometime before the end of the year.

Time to ‘Hit the Pavement’

PHOTOS COURTESY OF WES GLEASON PHOTOGRAPHY

Participants walk, above and right, in the 2014 Jordan Crossroads Ministry Center-Haven of Rest “Hit the Pavement” Domestic Violence Awareness Walk. The fifth annual event is taking place from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 8, starting and ending at the Clarendon County Gazebo on Keitt Street in Manning.

Domestic Violence Awareness Walk set for Oct. 8 in downtown Manning

BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com Jordan Crossroads Ministry Center-Haven of Rest is a non-profit organization and shelter in Clarendon County that aims to combat domestic violence, serving women and their children who have been physically, verbally, mentally or emotionally abused.

The organization will host its fifth annual “Hit the Pavement” Domestic Violence Awareness Walk, followed by a speaking engagement, on Saturday, Oct. 8, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., starting and ending at the Clarendon County Gazebo on Keitt Street in Manning.

Registration will start at 9 a.m.

The walk will be about 2.5 miles. All proceeds raised at the event will go toward funding the shelter. Registration is $25. Participants who get five or more people to pledge money to the event, will receive $5 back at the event.

They will have to bring a sheet with pledged amounts with them.

Three domestic violence survivors will speak at the event.

Patricia Quillen, one of the survivors, said it’s important for women to know they can get out of an abusive situation.

“At first I was too embarrassed and ashamed to reveal what I was going

through, but I knew I had to get out of that relationship for myself and my two children,” she said. “My faith kept me going.”

South Carolina was recently ranked fifth in the nation in the rate of women murdered by men, an improvement from its worst-in-the-nation rating last year, according to a new Violence Policy Center study.

The study, “When Men Murder Women: An Analysis of 2014 Homicide Data,” found a decline in South Carolina’s rate of women dying from domestic violence. The study comes from the most recent information available from FBI crime data.

Since opening its doors in 2008, the shelter in Clarendon County has provided temporary housing to 42 female victims of domestic violence and their 47 children.

Located in a non-disclosed area to protect its residents, the shelter is open to women from Clarendon County, other counties and outside the state.

“Our goal is to help victims of domestic violence and their children to have a better life when they leave here,” said Ann Driggers, executive director of the organization. “To go into a new direction and not go back to an abusive situation.”

Women are allowed to stay in the shelter for as long as 90 days, she said.

The center partners with various organizations such as career programs to assist women in finding jobs. Driggers is an ordained minister and can provide spiritual ministry as well, she said.

“Most of the women suffer from either emotional, verbal, financial or physical abuse,” she said.

The house has four bedrooms, two bathrooms and can accommodate as many as six women.

Driggers said this is a crisis center, providing a safe place for women to get away from their aggressors.

Homeless women with an abusive past from years ago do not qualify for temporary housing, she said. The goal, she said, is to help those who are in a current domestic abuse situation, and do not have an alternative place to stay.

Driggers said the center’s funding comes from private donations, churches and other agencies and organizations. Everyone involved with the organization is a volunteer.

The address is 1101 W.L. Hamilton Road in Manning.

The event starts at 5 p.m. and tickets are limited, at a cost of $20 per ticket.

All proceeds will benefit the American Cancer Society through Relay for Life Clarendon County.

About one in eight women in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer during her lifetime, according to the American Cancer Society’s website, www.cancer.org.

Summerton resident Cassie A. Nelson said a positive outlook and the support of her family, friends and coworkers helped her get through the battle with breast cancer.

NELSON Nelson said she is grateful, as her cancer treatments were effective and the cancer

had not spread elsewhere.

She had to undergo a lumpectomy, a surgery to remove cancer or other abnormal tissue from a breast, and 33 treatments of radiation.

She was diagnosed in January 2007, just a few months after her father had passed away from cancer.

“It was devastating,” she said. “But the support I received from family members,

friends and coworkers was what really made a difference.”

Nelson said her faith also played an important role in getting through the experience.

“I’m a very spiritual person, I think that played an important part in my recovery,” she said. “I continued to trust and have faith, and follow doctors’ orders.”

Saturday’s event will include

a catered meal, live entertainment and a fashion show.

Souvenir books will also be sold for $20.

For more information, contact Annette Smith at (803) 460-6679.

There will also be a breast cancer awareness walk held on Oct. 29 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Clarendon Community Complex (behind Weldon Auditorium), 7 Maple St, Manning.

Stereotypes endure beyond the grave on ‘Good Life’

BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH Eleanor finds it difficult to remain under the radar on the third episode of “The Good Place” (8:30 p.m., NBC, TV-PG). This tale of a lessthan-stellar mortal (Kristen Bell) given a slot in an afterlife for special good-deed-doers has received generally positive reviews, and a healthy audience has sampled the series on air, DVR and streaming.

I still haven’t laughed once.

As I’ve written before, “The Good Place” is more like a laborious riff on “Groundhog Day” than an original comedy. It also uses the rather shopworn narrative tradition that director Spike Lee once dubbed the “Magical Negro.”

Lee was referring to Hollywood’s use of black characters as mystical figures whose sole purpose in the story was to help humanize and enlighten white characters. They had no lives or stories of their own and merely appeared as fairy godmothers and selfless “change agents.”

In “The Good Place,” the character Chidi (William Jackson Harper) is a Nigerian man who was an ethics professor during his short, good life. But due to a quirk in the celestial clockwork, he is compelled to spend his heavenly “reward” as the mentor to a white woman (Bell) whose selfish life is frequently revealed in flashbacks. Even in “heaven,” Chidi has no (after)life of his own. He is defined entirely by his service to another.

There are surprises yet to come in “The Good Place.”

So whether they are continuing the “Magical Negro” concept or satirizing it remains to be seen. Is this funny or, at best, too clever by half ?

• Can a 15-second feature launched through an app become a new cartoon series?

Why not? “Mighty Magiswords” (6:30 p.m., Cartoon Network) expands on the comedy adventure “story” from Cartoon Network’s original app, featuring Prohyas and Vambre, a sibling team of “warriors for hire” who take on a weird universe of adversaries with their not-always-functional weapons.

• TCM honors Gene Wilder with a rebroadcast of the 2008 interview “Role Model: Gene Wilder” (8 p.m.), a freewheeling discussion between Alec Baldwin and the late actor about Wilder’s many movies.

The 1974 horror spoof “Young Frankenstein” (9:15 p.m., TCM), directed by Mel Brooks, follows.

• Sorry, football fans. Tonight’s “Thursday Night Football” game between the Miami Dolphins and Cincinnati Bengals (8 p.m., NFL) will not appear on CBS.

The 2015 adaptation of the 1980s cartoon “Jem and the Holograms” (8:30 p.m., HBO Family) failed to please critics and, more importantly, fans of the original series.

Despite a low budget, “Jem” was a financial disaster, considered the lowest-opening film of 2015, with a box-office average of $36 per theater on its opening night!

LETTER TO THE EDITOR AMERICANS FREE TO EMBRACE OWN BELIEFS The gentleman who recommended that refugees entering the U.S. should watch two DVD’s. One about the history and culture of the USA, including the constitution. The second one should be about Jesus and the joy of Christianity.

I suggest the writer read the constitution and review the history of the USA himself, and maybe he would know why we shouldn’t force any-

body to embrace another religion.

This is why so many people are turning away from the church today because of selfrighteous views like his.

Though many believe this is a “Christian Nation,” it is not.

We are free to believe or not believe, that is America.

For anyone reading this thinking “oh, he isn’t a Christian,” actually that’s between me and God and none of your business.

ednesday’s edition of The Sumter Item reports, “Cox to pay $1M in settlement with Feds.”

Read it online at www.theitem.com: The U.S. Department of Justice announced Tuesday it reached a $1 million settlement with former Tuomey Healthcare System CEO Ralph J. "Jay" Cox III for his involvement in a legal case against the former healthcare system.

"Sweetheart deals between hospitals and referring physicians distort medical decision making and drive up the cost of healthcare for patients and insurers alike," said Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Benjamin C. Mizer, head of the Justice Department's Civil Division.

"Patients have a right to be confident that a physician who orders a procedure or test does so because that service is in the patient's best interest, and not because the physician stands to gain financially from the referral."

The judgment against Tuomey related to violations of the Stark Law, a statute that prohibits hospitals from billing Medicare for certain services, including inpatient and outpatient hospital care that have been referred by physicians with whom the hospital has an improper financial relationship.

••• In “The Donald Abides,” The Wall Street Journal’s Holman Jenkins writes, “Resolved: The election pits a very flawed insider vs. a very flawed outsider.”

It might not be too reductionist to say that lying for money is what a lot of people in and around government now do for a living. Maybe it’s always been this way.

Mr. Trump has shown an alarming tendency to pass along unsubstantiated tweets, and to echo the covers of supermarket tabloids.

His lying seems juvenile, boastful — and so far unrelated to the kind that is dissolving faith in American institutions, though we certainly offer no warranty about how he would behave in office.

He is not a lifelong politician like Mrs. Clinton and it showed. But he survived on stage. Notice, he also apparently made a strategic decision not to raise Bill Clinton’s infidelities and stuck to it.

One of the least perceptive TV comments, I didn’t catch by whom, claimed Mr. Trump has proved himself incapable of taking advice or changing his approach. Au contraire: He changes positions constantly, has constantly alternated between scripted and free-form in his style.

He doesn’t know what he thinks about most issues (except trade) and yet has been content to bull ahead and sort it out later.

In the end this fall’s election, as Monday’s debate probably

established, will resolve into very flawed outsider vs. very flawed insider — and will be decided by the American people in that vein.

It won’t become - as the media and Democrats hoped going into Monday’s debate “Hillary is the only option because Trump is unacceptable.”

••• In a 1984 letter to President Ronald Reagan, and a draft of his reply, as published in the second volume of “Letters of Note: An Eclectic Collection of Correspondence Deserving of a Wider Audience,” compiled by Shaun Usher, out next month from Chronicle Books: Dear Mr. President, My name is Andy Smith. I am a seventh grade student at Irmo Middle School, in Irmo, South Carolina.

Today my mother declared my bedroom a disaster area. I would like to request federal funds to hire a crew to clean up my room.

I am prepared to provide the initial funds if you will provide matching funds for this project.

I know you will be fair when you consider my request. I will be awaiting your reply.

Sincerely yours, Andy Smith Dear Andy I’m sorry to be so late in answering your letter but as you know I’ve been in China and found your letter here upon my return.

Your application for disaster relief has been duly noted but I must point out one technical problem; the authority declaring the disaster is supposed to make the request. In this case your mother.

However, setting that aside I’ll have to point out the larger problem of available funds.

This has been a year of disasters, 539 hurricanes as of May 4th and several more since, numerous floods, forest fires, drought in Texas and a number of earthquakes. What I’m getting at is that funds are dangerously low.

May I make a suggestion?

This administration, believing that govt. has done many things that could better be done by volunteers at the local level, has sponsored a Private Sector Initiative Program, calling upon people to practice volunteerism in the solving of a number of local problems.

Your situation appears to be a natural. I’m sure your Mother was fully justified in proclaiming your room a disaster.

Therefore you are in an excellent position to launch another volunteer program to go along with the more than 3000 already underway in our nation—congratulations.

Give my best regards to your Mother.

Sincerely, Ronald Reagan ••• Notable & Quotable is compiled by Graham Osteen. Contact him at graham@theitem. com.

COMMENTARY

The New South Carolina Part 1: People of the Palmetto State

BY PHIL NOBLE phil@philnoble.com Editor’s note: This is the first of a threepart series on how new demographics, economy and politics trends are changing South Carolina.

T

The second 21st Century South Carolinian featured in the magazine is probably the most famous South Carolinian that you have never heard of — at least if you are over 35 years old. He’s actor, writer and stand-up comedian Aziz Ansari. He was pictured standing in a white suit against a white background holding a bouquet of wilted purple flowers.

Ansari was born in Columbia into a Muslim family from India; his father was a doctor. He grew up in Bennettsville and went to the S.C. Governor’s School for Science and Math. Like so many bright young folks, he left South Carolina and landed at New York University’s Stern School of Business, where he majored in marketing.

He began doing stand-up comedy in New York, and his big break came when he stared in NBC’s comedy Parks and Recreation from 2009–2015. Now he plays Dev Shah on the Netflix series Master of None; Ansari created, writes and stars in the show. The New York Times called it “the year’s best comedy straight out of the gate.”

In 2015, he wrote a hot best-selling book, Modern Romance: An Investigation. He was deeply moved by the Boston Marathon Bombing in 2013, and he performed a benefit concert for the victims and their families.

He’s got a wicked sense of humor, he’s smart, gritty, and he made his own way to success in the bare-knuckle world of bigtime TV and media. He’s single, was raised a Muslim and is now an atheist and is a Democrat.

The fourth South Carolinian in the magazine is traditional South Carolinian Jennifer Pinckney, wife of the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, who was killed in the Emanuel Nine shooting. She is African American, and her family roots are in South Carolina; she grew up in the rural area around Aiken and went to the University of South Carolina.

She has survived the unspeakable horrors of the shooting and its continuing aftermath with the utmost grace and dignity that all South Carolina is extremely proud of. She has two beautiful children, is a member of Emanuel AME Church, and she is a Democrat. Pinckney was chosen to write the profile of none other than President Barack Obama. She wrote lovingly of Obama’s similarities with her husband — “… two Godfearing charismatic black men dedicated to public service and to their wives and two daughters.

They were both voices for the voiceless who got up with smiles when they got knocked down.”

These four are the faces and voices of The New South Carolina. They are a combination of traditional and 21st Century South Carolinians — one white male, two of Indian descent, two women and one African American. They all share South Carolina values, all are compassionate people, all have their own ideas about religion and politics, and all share in the making of The New South Carolina.

There is much of traditional South Carolina that is special, important and good. We need to recognize, protect and nourish it.

It’s who we are.

There is much of 21st Century South Carolina that is special, important and good. We need to recognize, protect and nourish it.

It’s who we are.

Welcome to The New South Carolina. It’s who we are.

here is a New South Carolina being born. You can see evidence of it in a recent Time Magazine special issue featuring the 100 Most Influential. There are four South Carolinians in the magazine — two were chosen among the 100 Most Influential, and two were chosen to write short profiles.

Who they are and what they wrote says a lot about our state and who we are becoming — the New South Carolina.

How were they chosen? Editor Nancy Gibbs said, “One way or the other they each embody a breakthrough; they broke the rules, broke the record, broke the silence, broke the boundaries to reveal what we’re capable of… each in their own way have lessons to teach.”

So who are the four South Carolinians, and what are the lessons they have to teach us?

The first is Gov. Nikki Haley, a 21st Century South Carolinian. When she was chosen for the list, it got lots of media attention, as well it should. She was pictured seated at a big Phil Noble desk surrounded by a crowd of former governors, politicians and church people as she held a pen to sign the bill to take down the Confederate flag. Haley was born in Barnwell to Indian immigrant parents. She grew up different — not white, not black — with all the challenges that brought. From childhood, she worked in the family clothing business, and she graduated from Clemson with a degree in accounting. Her husband has a military career as an officer, and they have two beautiful children.

She’s got a wicked sense of humor, she’s smart and gritty, and she made her way to success in the bare-knuckle world of South Carolina politics. She was born a Sikh, is now a member of Mt. Horeb United Methodist Church and is a Republican.

Sen. Lindsey Graham wrote the tribute to Haley. After citing the challenges she and our state faced with the Emanuel and Walter Scott shootings and the 1,000-year flood, he said, “…Gov. Haley led with determination, grace and compassion… From shaking up the system to providing kindness and understanding to the individuals and families affected by these tragedies, she put a face on South Carolina that we are all extremely proud of.”

Graham is a traditional South Carolinian; his family roots are in South Carolina. He was born in Central to a hardscrabble family, and from childhood he worked in the family business — a restaurant-bar-pool hall-liquor store named the Sanitary Café.

Both of his parents died when he was young; he went to USC Law School and had a military career as an officer. He has a deep and wide streak of “don’t tread on me… you can go straight to Hell” South Carolina redneck independence.

He’s got a wicked sense of humor, he’s smart, gritty and he made his own way to success in the bare knuckle-world of South Carolina and national politics. He’s single, a Phil Noble has a technology firm in member of the Corinth Baptist Church and Charleston and writes a weekly column for is a Republican. the SC Press Association.

PICTURES FROM THE PUBLIC

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Mix business with helping others and you will get the recognition you deserve. Your ability to know how much to do and when to stop will help you get past someone who is trying to get something for nothing. Romance looks promising.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Be careful what you believe. Someone will mess with your feelings, causing confusion and indecisiveness. Helping someone out is fine, but not at the expense of your own happiness. Get the facts and don’t be afraid to say “no.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Make a change that will enhance your looks or give you the professional edge you require to reach your goal. A romantic gesture will spark the imagination of someone special. Invest in your skills and your standard of living.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): A job prospect will grab your interest.

Update your resume or send out signals to let everyone know you are interested in pursuing something new. A change will do you good and help build back your confidence at the same time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Revisit relationship agreements and consider the best way to improve your situation. An incentive might help, but putting too much pressure on people will not. Ask questions and find out how others are feeling.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Do something that will get your adrenaline flowing. The more active you are, the more impressed everyone will be with you. Your determination and dedication will help turn an important relationship into something even more special.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Express the way you feel and make a point to look over factors that can influence how or where you live.

Preparing now will help you bring about interesting work-related changes that will raise your standard of living.

TSA’s goals, chemistry have Lady Generals off to 11-0 start

BY JUSTIN DRIGGERS justin@theitem.com There was a match not too long ago that Gwen Herod called an “aha” moment for her Thomas Sumter Academy volleyball team.

Playing at Carolina Academy, TSA outside hitter Anita Cookey-Gam -an all-star in every since of the word, Herod said -- went down with an ankle injury and had to be helped off the court.

“I’ve coached all-stars before and sometimes the team mentality becomes about that player, even if the player doesn’t feel that way,” Herod said. “And if something happens to that player, the team can fall apart.”

The Lady Generals, however, did not. They won that match and the following one with Cookey-Gam out of the lineup.

Even though she returned for Wednesday’s 3-1 victory against Robert E. Lee Academy, that stretch told

Herod a lot about her squad.

“The girls stepped up and did what it took to win that match,” she said.

“That was big for me to watch them overcome that. That was a moment for this team.”

And likely the first of many. TSA has for the most part picked up right where it left off a year ago. The Lady Generals went 19-5 and made the SCISA 3A state tournament

Knights host winless Falcons

Nelson looking for more consistency in region opener

BY JUSTIN DRIGGERS justin@theitem.com Now that the non-region schedule is over, Roosevelt Nelson saw a pattern emerge through his Crestwood High School football team’s first six games.

When the Knights were able to run the ball on offense and stop the run on defense, they were 3-0.

When they didn’t do either well — or cut down on costly turnovers and penalties — they were 0-3.

“It’s really just about establishing balance and eliminating mistakes,” Nelson said.

He looks for CHS to show more consistency on Friday as the Knights begin Region VI-4A play against Darlington at Donald L. Crolley Memorial Stadium at 7:30 p.m.

The new region features just four opponents -- three of which are very familiar, including the Falcons. The Knights will host region newcomer Lugoff-Elgin a week from Friday before finishing up on the road at

perennial power Hartsville and crosstown rival Lakewood.

With that in mind, Crestwood will see a lot of runheavy offenses in the coming weeks, starting against Darlington, which is led by former Sumter High head coach John Jones.

“They’ve got a strong running attack and they’re a downhill running team,” Nelson said. “They’ve got guys on the outside that can catch the ball and make plays as well.

“On defense, they don’t give up the big play that often. They’re very big along the defensive line and the linebackers run well.

We’ve got to block and tackle well and be solid in all three phases of the game.”

While the Knights are 3-3, the Falcons come in at 0-6 overall after being outscored 233-34 so far this season. They haven’t scored more than 14 points in any RICK CARPENTER / THE SUMTER ITEM game and have given up at Crestwood wide receiver Tyrese Felder and the rest of the least 23 in every contest.

Friday against Darlington at Donald L. Crolley Memorial SEE KNIGHTS, PAGE B3 Stadium in Dalzell.

Manning High School opens its Region VII-3A football schedule on Friday by playing host to Hanahan at 7:30 p.m. at Ramsey Stadium.

And while the Monarchs’ state playoff hopes ride on their final four games, first-year head coach Keith West isn’t over-emphasizing that fact to his team.

“We haven’t stressed it (start of region play) all that much to the team,” said West, whose squad WEST will take a 4-2 record into the matchup against the 2-4 Hawks. “We’ve been taking more of a week-to-week approach with them, just going from game to game.

“The coaching staff knows though that these games carry a little bit more weight, so we know what is at stake.”

Region VII is a 5-team region, meaning that there will only be four region contests. That also means that four of the five teams – Bishop England, Timberland, and Lake Marion along with Manning and Hanahan -- will be advancing to the playoffs.

“With just four games, all of the games are a little bit bigger,” West said. “A win this week will be big, but winning any region game will be big.”

Bishop England is 6-0 while Timberland is 2-3 and Lake Marion 2-4.

While Hanahan is just 2-4, three of the losses have come to 5A Wando and 4A Berkeley and undefeated Cane Bay. The loss to Cane Bay came last week

CLEMSON FOOTBALL

Carter, Tigers D look to contain Louisville QB

BY SCOTT KEEPFER Greenville News CLEMSON – So what’s the best way to keep close tabs on Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson?

Keep him in the pocket, says Ryan Carter.

That likely has been the mission of every team that Jackson has faced this season, but no one has been able to achieve that goal with any consistency.

Carter and his Clemson teammates will be the latest JACKSON to get that chance Saturday night when the Tigers play host to the Cardinals in a monumental Atlantic Coast Conference showdown at Memorial Stadium.

“He loves to scramble, so we’ve got to keep him in the pocket,” said Carter, a junior cornerback from Grayson, Ga. “It’s going to be tough. It’s going to take a great team effort to slow him down, wear him down.”

Jackson is the trigger man in an explosive Louisville offense that leads the nation in scoring at 63.5 points per game and yardage with 682 yards per game.

Jackson has accounted for 25 touchdowns himself this season, or nine more than Clemson has scored as a team.

“He’s definitely a special player,” Carter said. “Not a lot of players are doing the things that he’s doing right now.”

Carter is convinced that a year of maturing has transformed Jackson into the offensive force he’s proven to be so far.

“He got a chance to see how it was last year,” Carter said of Jackson, who started eight games as a freshman last year and capped his season by rushing for a Music City Bowl record 226 yards

Mickelson said he wasn’t trying to knock Sutton. He said he liked how decisive Sutton was that week.

“But that’s an example of starting with the captain.

That put us in a position to fail. And we failed monumentally, absolutely,” he said.

“But to say, ‘Well, you just need to play better,’ that is so misinformed. Because you will play how you prepare.”

Sutton was bemused that Mickelson would bring that up now.

“My God, somebody’s got to be the fall guy,” he told Golfweek magazine. “If it needs to be me, I can be that.

Bates shuts out Chestnut Oaks 20-0

semifinals before finally bowing out. This season in 2A, they’re off to an 11-0 start — including 5-0 in Region II-2A play — and show no signs of slowing down as none of their matches have gone the distance yet.

TSA has plenty of talent and experience on its side, with the majority of the roster made up of the same team of a season ago, but there’s one thing that separates this year’s squad, Herod said.

“Team chemistry,” she said succinctly. “It’s a special group of girls. They believe the team is bigger than themselves and they play like it.

“It’s the most unselfish team I’ve ever coached.”

That unselfishness stems from an early camp where the Lady Generals decided to play for each other and a higher power, captain Bree Stoddard said.

“We have a great team chemistry because we’re all devoted to playing for God and playing for something greater than ourselves,” she said.

Stoddard, the standout basketball player for TSA, played volleyball for the first time ever last year.

“Last year was kind of, ‘Stand here and jump when they’re about to hit it,’” she said. “This year, I’ve learned to do more than block. We’ve incorporated a lot more plays and I feel like I’m much more of an offensive threat than I was last year.”

And the Lady Generals have quite a few offensive threats. Samantha Kindsvater, who was also new to TSA last year, has moved from middle to outside hitter and has filled the shoes of the now graduated Haley Hawkins.

Thomas Sumter also returned both its setters in Sydney Daniel and Josie Reed as well as Libero Savanah Lujan. Combined with an influx of talent from Taja Hunley and Diamond Gibson among others, the Lady Generals are ripe with depth. Gibson stepped in for CookeyGam while she was out.

“Diamond’s always a spark plug when she’s in there,” Stoddard said. “We’ve got a lot of great players returning, but we’ve also got players who have come up from JV that have helped out a lot, too.”

Cookey-Gam, another team captain, has been a force as usual at outside hitter while leading the team in kills on many nights, including 29 against REL on Wednesday. However, it’s been her leadership that she’s worked on the most, she said.

“I’ve tried to be more encouraging and tried to pick my teammates up more this year,” Cookey-Gam said. “You can’t win by putting your teammates down. You win games by lifting them up.”

That was an especially important lesson to keep in mind the other night while she was nursing her ankle injury, she said.

“Normally when I twist an ankle like that, I can just walk it off, but I couldn’t this time,” Cookey-Gam said. “So I had to cheer on my teammates and I realized I can lead from the bench as much as I can on the floor.”

The Lady Generals will need a healthy Cookey-Gam the rest of the year as staying unbeaten will not be easy. TSA has a couple of tough weeks ahead of it before playoffs begin. Matches against Palmetto Christian, two against Williamsburg Academy and 3A opponents Wilson Hall and Heathwood Hall still loom. “There’s nothing to celebrate yet,” Herod said. “We want to keep the girls focused on playing our game, running our offense, playing strong defense and being scrappy on the court.

“Above all, we want them to continue to strive for the goals they’ve set and who they’re playing for. We have to keep that goal in mind and keep a team mentality.”

TSA defeated the Lady Cavs by the scores of 25-22, 26-24, 25-19 after dropping the first game 25-21. Hunley finished with 13 kills while Daniel had 25 assists and five aces. Reed added 19 assists.

THE SUMTER ITEM

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

There’s no ‘D’ in ACC Fast-paced offenses dominating league

BY HANK KURZ JR .AP Sports Writer The continuing evolution of spread and no-huddle offenses in college football is changing the way some coaches measure defensive success.

That’s a good thing for the ACC. Already this season, there have been eight games involving at least one Atlantic Coast Conference team in which the winning team gave up at least 30 points.

Pittsburgh (2-2, 0-1 ACC) has played in three straight games with scores in the 30s and 40s, all against Power Five programs. The Panthers beat Penn State 42-39 , then lost 45-38 at Oklahoma State and 37-36 last weekend at North Carolina. Panthers coach Pat Narduzzi said rule changes have made playing defense more challenging.

“It’s been like that for a couple of years and it continues to roll,” said Narduzzi, a long-time defensive coordinator. “It is what it is.

We have to adjust and move with it. ... Every team that we’ve faced this year has been no-huddle and moves quickly. ... I was happier with what we did defensively (against UNC) compared to last week” against Oklahoma State.

Pitt allowed 640 yards against the Cowboys, but just 471 against the Tar Heels.

One rule change that permits offensive lineman to go further downfield also allows teams to disguise their intentions longer.

“Defense is very difficult anyway, knowing it is reactionary and you have to identify specific cues to determine run or pass,” said Virginia coach Bronco Mendenhall, who calls the Cavaliers’ defensive signal. He said the longer offenses — especially those with dualthreat quarterbacks — have to make that run or pass decision, the harder they are to stop.

“I don’t think the rule is good for college football, but it is good for entertainment,” Mendenhall said. “If viewership is up, I’m sure the rule will stay the same.

If viewership is down, then there will be possibly another rule. But the nature of

the offense is based on rule change, and has now made it to where it’s quite difficult.”

Mendenhall is a big believer in using statistics to assess his team’s play, but the numbers he uses have changed.

“Yards and points per play matter a lot because so many teams are going fast.

Total defense, not so relevant, and scoring defense,” Mendenhall said, adding that the faster pace of most games naturally inflates total defense numbers.

That’s how Narduzzi, a former defensive coordinator at Cincinnati and Michigan State, and coach Paul Johnson at Georgia Tech see it, too.

At Cincinnati and Michigan State, Narduzzi said,

“Our goal defensively was to limit the other team to 13 points per game. Today, that just isn’t going to happen.”

The Yellow Jackets (3-1, 1-1) used to put up for some of the gaudiest offensive numbers in the league. This year, their 24.2 points a game ranks 13th in the league.

“I think what happens is when you look at scores, scores just in themselves can be very deceiving,” Johnson said. “You take Syracuse, who tries to play 800 mph. For them to be in a 24-17 game would be like us being in a 7-3 game because they’re getting three times the possessions and their defense is also getting three times as many. Common sense would tell you if I play a game and I get 15 to 18 possessions I’m going to score more than if I get nine to 12.”

The ACC has seven teams averaging at least 36 points, and eight averaging at least 450 yards.

Third-ranked Louisville (4-0), with dual-threat quarterback sensation Lamar Jackson already having accounted for 25 touchdowns (13 passing, 12 running), somewhat skews the numbers. The Cardinals are averaging 63.5 points and 682 yards, both tops in the country. Against Syracuse, Louisville rolled up 845 yards in a 62-28 victory.

The Cardinals will visit No. 5 Clemson on Saturday in a highly anticipated showdown. The Tigers rank third nationally in total defense, allowing just 218.5 yards, but have put those numbers together against a schedule that includes offensively challenged Auburn, Troy, South Carolina State and Georgia Tech.

Saturday’s ACC showcase could be another high-scoring affair with defenses trying to contain Jackson and Clemson’s Deshaun Watson.

And if it is, it won’t be the last. North Carolina defensive coordinator Gene Chizik said defenses are going to be playing catch up for some time.

“I don’t think there’s any question of that,” Chizik said. “There’s very potent offenses in this league. I mean, that’s just the way it is.”

Carolina quarterback Cam Newton is hit by Minnesota defensive end Tom Johnson (92) in the Panthers’ 22-10 loss on Sunday in Charlotte.

Newton: I have to get ball out quicker, to Benjamin

BY STEVE REED AP Sports Writer

CHARLOTTE — Cam Newton says he needs to get rid of the football quicker — and get it to his big wide receiver a little more, too.

The Panthers All-Pro quarterback took eight sacks on Sunday from the Minnesota Vikings, including one for a safety that led to Carolina’s first home loss since Nov. 16. 2014.

A byproduct of the Vikings constant pressure on Newton was he only threw one pass to his favorite wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin — that resulting in an incompletion in the final minutes.

“That can’t happen,” Newton said Wednesday. “If I’m speaking for it, that won’t happen again. He’s too good of a player.”

Benjamin had 13 catches for 199 yards and three touchdowns in his first two games back from a torn ACL this season, making being shutout against the Vikings all the more head-scratching.

When asked if Newton can live up to his words, coach Ron Rivera said, “That’s up to him. He is the quarterback. ... But believe me, if there’s one thing that we’ve learned, if Cam says he’s going to do something he’s most certainly going to try.”

Benjamin was unavailable for comment during the interview session that was open to the media on Wednesday.

However, when asked about his lack of production after Sunday’s game Benjamin pointed to the eight times Newton was sacked.

Newton took accountability for some of those sacks saying he has to do a better job

“It’s frustrating. But as one coach mentioned, it is like controlling the ripple effect, like throwing a rock in a pond.

Make sure that first ripple is you and take care of you first and that will affect others.”

CAM NEWTON of “pressure recognition.”

“Just getting the ball out of my hand,” said Newton, who finished the game 21 of 35 for 262 yards with three interceptions and no touchdown passes.

Back in training camp Newton talked about team owner Jerry Richardson advising him to “making the layups.”

“You hear it often — you can throw the comebacks and digs, but what about the check downs and the slants and getting back to the small nuances of the game that make big differences?” Newton said in July.

And offensive coordinator Mike Shula said he wanted to see Newton improve his completion percentage to about 65 percent after completing just 59.8 percent last year. Instead, Newton has gone the other direction, completing only 58.3 percent this year.

Of course it doesn’t help that the Panthers have faced two of the toughest defenses in the league in the Broncos and Vikings.

This Sunday potentially offers a chance for Newton and Panthers to turn things around against an Atlanta defense that is allowing 313 yards passing per game and has surrendered 10 touchdown passes in three games.

Panthers coach Ron Rivera said the team has to do a better job all around offensively, saying there is “plenty of blame to go around” for giving up eight sacks and yielding 12 hits on Newton.

Panthers left tackle Michael Oher acknowledged he used “poor technique” on a sack the resulted in a safety.

All five starting offensive linemen gave up a sack or quarterback hit. Running back Fozzy Whittaker missed a block on a blitz. And the receivers failed to gain separation from the Vikings defensive backs and linebackers resulting in Newton holding the ball too long.

On one occasion Newton seemed to get frustrated not wanting to take another sack and threw an ill-advised pass that was picked off by a Vikings defensive lineman.

“It’s frustrating,” Newton said of being 1-2 on the season. “But as one coach mentioned it is like controlling the ripple effect, like throwing a rock in a pond. Make sure that first ripple is you and take care of you first and that will affect others.”

A win Sunday would pull the Panthers into a firstplace tie with the Falcons (2-1) in the NFC South and give them the early head-tohead tiebreaker.

JEFF MACNELLY’S SHOE

Husband needs to move beyond past sexual abuse DEAR ABBY — My husband recently disclosed to me that he was sexually abused by his cousin, who was the Dear Abby same age, ABIGAIL when he was in high VAN BUREN school. She blackmailed him by threatening to tell everyone he had raped her. She used this power over him to coax sexual favors but never intercourse.

After a year of looking for help, he confided in his mother, but she ended up getting drunk and telling the whole family about the situation.

Luckily, he was able to con-

JUMBLE THAT SCRAMBLED WORD GAME

By David L Hoyt and Jeff Knurek

vince most of them it was "just the alcohol talking." At that point, his cousin finally found a boyfriend and stopped blackmailing him.

This all happened five years ago. He hasn't lived in the same state as his mom or the abuser in three years. I can tell that by confiding in me he feels much better, but I'm worried that he blames himself for his mother's alcoholism and his ruined relationships with his close friends in high school. I'm also not sure whether or not we can bring his abuser to justice.

Concerned spouse DEAR CONCERNED SPOUSE — Encourage you husband to talk to a licensed psychotherapist about what was done to him.

THE DAILY CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Victims sometimes blame themselves. I seriously doubt that his mother's alcohol abuse had anything to do with him. That she betrayed his confidence instead of helping him was terrible. A therapist can explain all this to him, and help him to see things clearly so he can decide how to proceed.

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. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.
