School board OKs purchase Clemson says one in self-quarantine, awaiting test of land for new Seneca Middle THE JOURNAL STAFF
BY GREG OLIVER THE JOURNAL
SENECA — Two years of searching and negotiating with property owners came to a successful conclusion Monday night as the Oconee County School Board unanimously approved the purchase of nearly 44 acres for just less than $18 million. The new Seneca Middle School will be built there. “This has been a long process, but we feel like now we see the light at the end of the tunnel,” associate superintendent of administration Steve Hanvey said. Although other sites had been considered, Hanvey Hanvey said the four parcels of land provided the most positives for a new middle school. “This is the best piece of property to give us a new Seneca Middle School — best proximity to the high school, sidewalks on both sides and access to the (three) elementary schools,” he said. “We don’t think you can make a better choice as far as a middle school.” The site is located approximately a mile from Seneca High School along Wells Highway. With the location being on Wells Highway, district officials say there will be very little road improvement needed due to the fact it is already a five-lane road. Officials added that site work, including grading, would also be limited since the parcel is “relatively level.” Hanvey said the site has already been soil tested and approved by DHEC, and has also received the SEE LAND, PAGE A5

State up to seven confirmed cases THE JOURNAL STAFF
SENECA — Officials announced Sunday that a Spartanburg County man had tested positive for coronavirus, bringing the state total to seven cases confirmed by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC). While the case in the Upstate is related to recent travel to Italy, according to DHEC, there is evidence of community spread in Camden, where three cases are directly tied to an elderly woman announced as a presumptive positive on Friday. A third Camden case “with no known connection” was isolated at home. “Presumptive positive”
means samples tested positive for COVID-19 at DHEC’s Public Health Laboratory. However, those results are required to be confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It takes 24-48 hours for the CDC to confirm samples after they’re received from the state. “We now have evidence of community spread that’s likely to be causing these initial cases in Camden in Kershaw County, and the risk of spread to other communities is possible, as seen in other states across the country,” state epidemiologist Dr. Linda Bell said. “We are working with the

CLEMSON — Late Monday afternoon, health officials announced a “non-student” at Clemson University is in self-quarantine at an “off-campus residence” for a possible case of COVID-19. The school is working in conjunction with the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, university spokesman Joe Galbraith said, and results from the test are set to come back within 24-48 hours. Many of the 385 Clemson University students studying abroad that were asked last week to return home by Sunday “are either back or are on their way back,” Galbraith said. “Both students, as well as any faculty or staff traveling overseas, are being asked to contact Redfern Health Center for screening, which has been at various levels depending on where their travels took them,” he said. “We’ll have a better picture in the coming days of how many are coming back and how many are self-isolated.” While no decisions have been made for summer and fall study abroad programs, all international travel for the university has been halted, he said. “We continue to monitor and have been planning for this as an eventuality,” Galbraith said. “We continue to communicate daily with the students, faculty and staff and make plans for any possibility.”

Water loss in Westminster
THE JOURNAL
WESTMINSTER — Westminster officials have identified a preliminary plan to correct the water loss that has plagued the city for years. At Saturday’s planning retreat, city council members discussed a proposed capital improvement plan for the city’s water system, similar to what a local firm did for the Six Mile Water District in 2019.

Sewer board hires attorney for DHEC enforcement meeting able to attend that enforcement meeting. If not, he said the sewer authority would request a postponement so that Lavender could be at the meeting on a different date. Eleazer said he, operations manager Steve Hunt and Moulder would likely attend the enforcement meeting. Moulder said the enforcement meeting is tied to multiple recent overflows experienced by the sewer authority. The sewer authority has had several sanitary overflows over the past 13 months. “We’ve received notification from DHEC that they are contemplating some enforcement requirements with regard to any fines, fees and mandates for repairs as a result of all the overflows,” Moulder said. “He’s an environmental attorney, so he deals in environmental issues as part of his specialty.”

SENECA — The Oconee Joint Regional Sewer Authority has hired an environmental attorney as its representative at a South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control enforcement meeting scheduled for next week. The sewer authority’s executive committee approved the hiring of W. Thomas “Tommy” Lavender Jr. at a special called committee meeting Monday afternoon. OJRSA board chairman Scott Moulder said the hiring doesn’t have to be approved by the full board. Sewer authority executive director Chris Eleazer said DHEC has called the OJRSA to an enforcement meeting on March 19. He said he did not know Monday afternoon if Lavender would be avail-

WESTMINSTER — One local woman is hoping former workers and their family members will come out to celebrate the legacy of Beacon Manufacturing in conjunction with Westminster’s birthday this month. Tammy Bryson said the birthday and reunion event is being sponsored by the Westminster Area Historic Preservation Society. “Our goal is to get as many as possible of the employees and family of past employees together to bring their pictures, their items related to their work and most of all, their stories of the mill,” Bryson said. “We are looking to preserve the legacy for future generations.” Bryson wants to collect as many Beacon tokens

Those wanting to share pictures or memorabilia can contact her at tsbryso@yahoo.com. The Westminster Cotton Mill first came about in 1899, Bryson said, before changing its name to Beacon Mill in 1937. Bryson said the mill was the “lifeblood of Westminster for many years” before it closed in 2002. “I wish that whether you

Town may hire new lawyer tonight WEST UNION — The town of West Union could make a hire tonight to fill the town attorney role that has been vacant since mid-January. Before the potential appointment of Mary McCormac as town attorney, council could pass its final reading of the 2020-2021 budget and will hear a presentation of its audit from Curry and Associates. The nearly $440,000 budget includes $70,000 in property tax income and a $90,000 transfer from the water department fund to the general fund. An amendment to move $2,400 to the police department budget is for repairs on police equipment, Mayor Linda Oliver said. McCormac is listed on the city of Clemson website as the prosecuting attorney for the city’s municipal court system, which Oliver confirmed to The Journal on Monday afternoon. Prayer at the Pole will take place at 5:45 p.m. just before the 6 p.m. town council meeting in an effort to increase attendance at both events.

Council to consider park Partners for Progress work on hours, asbestos removal list of priorities in Walhalla BY NORM CANNADA
BY NORM CANNADA
THE JOURNAL
THE JOURNAL
SENECA — Seneca City Council is expected to vote tonight on a plan to fund asbestos removal at two long-abandoned downtown buildings now owned by the city. The plan to transfer $230,000 from the city’s peak savings account to the Seneca Improvements Corporation is on the agenda for tonight’s March council meeting, set for 6 p.m. at City Hall. Those attending can sign up before the meeting to speak during the public comment period. The former Kimbrell’s and Harper’s Five and Dime stores across from City Hall have both been vacant for a decade or more. Both were acquired by the city last year. City administrator Scott Moulder said at a work session last month the cost for removing asbestos has come in at $114,700 for the Kimbrell’s building and $114,000 for Harper’s. He said the total was less than the nearly $300,000 originally projected just for the Harper’s property. He added the city has applied for a grant from the state that could repay the peak savings fund later this year. The fund, which now has about $700,000, has been designated by council for downtown redevelopment. Asbestos abatement must be completed before other improvements can be done in the two buildings, according to Moulder. He said the Harper’s property is a high priority now because of a collapsed roof that is “continuing to allow rainwater to pour in” and worsening damage to the building.
WALHALLA — Outdoor space and improving downtown are high on the list of priorities for Walhalla Partners for Progress members as they think about 2020. Partners for Progress president Greg Harris asked members at their meeting Monday night to mark 10 of their favorites among the priorities that the group listed last month. He said after the meeting he planned to take a look at the priorities presented by the members Harris and rank them to present to the organization as priorities for this year. “I just hope it will get us focused on what we can do and what we could be doing and sort of get us a vision of where we want to try to get to,” Harris said. “Then, we’re going to try to marshal all the resources to make some of these things happen.” More than a third of the priorities members had to choose from at Mon-

Seneca officials are expected to vote tonight on a plan to pay for asbestos removal at the former Kimbrell’s and Harper’s Five and Dime buildings. “If we don’t stop that, we may not have a building that’s salvageable,” Moulder told council last month. At tonight’s meeting, council is also considering first reading of an ordinance for a lease/purchase of turnout gear for the Seneca Fire Department. Moulder said council has already agreed to buy the gear, but needs to approve the ordinance to pay for it through a lease/ purchase plan. City officials are also asking council to approve the Coneross Power Supply Agreement, which has been delayed for nearly a year over concerns about flooding at the dam operated by Enel Green Power North America in April 2019. Moulder said the city’s issues have now been addressed and repairs have been made. Under the agreement, the city would buy about $200,000 worth of power each year, according to Moulder. Enel sells all of its power to the city. ncannada@upstatetoday.com | (864) 973-6680

them to see where we’re having all of our problems.” The plan would have a firm go through the water leak map and project costs for improvements to the system. Carter said the plan was offered at a favorable price. “That much work is a lot, but of course he’s getting a lot of data from us, too,” Carter said. “If you told me $24,000, I would’ve said ‘OK.’” A completed improvement plan would cost the city $1,800, and it would be another $600 if a presentation to council was requested. Carter said a map of water leaks wouldn’t be enough to move forward in the grant application process, but the improvement plan would be a “step in the right direction.” “I’ll be honest with you, I don’t think this is going to be enough to submit an application,” he said. “I think the preliminary engineering would have to do a cost feasibility study on it, but it’s a step in the right direction. Y’all at least know how much you’d want to bite off at a time.”
HOW TO FUND
In light of Oconee County offering to help Westminster in the grant application process, Carter said he thought it was worth asking the council to fund the improvements proposal. “I don’t know what we have to lose by asking,” Councilman Rusty Cater responded. “If they’re the one offering, then they need to go ahead and do it,” Councilman Yousef Mefleh later suggested. Carter told council Oconee County Council chairman Julian Davis invited representatives of Westminster’s council to meet this week to discuss the municipality’s water system. Mayor Brian Ramey told council to be aware of political promises made during election season. “For the last three years, we have asked the county for help. Regardless of what you read, they have been asked,” Ramey said. “They’ve been made aware and we’ve discussed it numerous times.
We were always told, ‘Oh we can’t do that, we can’t do that.’ If they’re willing to now, I’ll line up and sign the check. … “If they’re willing now, it’s election year, so you’re really likely to get some help during election years — that may happen,” he continued. “I want to say this about Mr. Carter and Alan Ridley — when we decided to put all our money into electrical, they knew about the water stuff. They’ve been doing everything they can and we can afford to do over the last several years, because all of our money is going to electrical. They’ve been trying to do everything they could.” A South Carolina Rural Infrastructure grant is off the table this year, as the city is capped from the program for the year after being awarded sewer grant money.
ANOTHER SOLUTION EYED
Councilmen Danny Duncan and Cater said the city needed to take every possible measure to save money now. “We need to start some way to save now,” Duncan said. “We don’t need to just let it go and wait for the grants. Maybe, maybe not. We need to do everything on our part to make sure we’re doing everything to save as much as we can. I just wonder what the percentage we could save right now if we had timers on blowoffs instead
of them running 24/7.” “Westminster has always been famous for tabling something or ‘We’ll check that later,’ and a year later we have made no attempt or no effort,” Cater said. “I think what everybody would like to do is show the public that we’re attempting not to head this off by just a study and six months down the road we’re going to decide what to do after we’ve lost six months of excess water.” rmorningstar@upstatetoday.com | (864) 973-6685

Metering water blowoffs and calibrating meters were also discussed during the retreat. Carter estimated it would cost between $32,000-$35,000 for a contractor to come in and test every water meter. “I don’t think that’s a bad idea at all, if there’s anything (in the budget) left,” Carter said. There were more than 30 blowoffs — active, available and unlocated — on the map Carter presented to council. There were approximately 49 and 60 water leaks in 2018 and 2019, respectively.

So, two old white guys walk into a bar
| YOUR VIEW | Let’s strive to be better than our politicians, media and pundits
E
ven before Sen. Elizabeth Warren suspended her presidential campaign, a recurrent theme had emerged from the commentariat. In so many words: Now all we have to choose between are two septuagenarian white men. (Yes, Hawaii’s Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is still running, though no one seems to know why.) We’ve long known that white men are the demographic to hate (on), as the woke generation might put it. But not so long ago — like, last summer — it was considered bad form to be ageist. P.S. Warren is 70. What happened? And, how did the Democratic Party suddenly start acting like the GOP? SomePARKER’S how, with all the diversity crowding the original field of Democratic POINT OF contenders, the party of progress VIEW | wound up culling the herd to two white men of advanced years. KATHLEEN One, 78-year-old Bernie Sanders, PARKER is an arm-waving socialist who comes across as a fanatic. The other, 77-year-old Joe Biden, is a bleeding-heart, old-school liberal, whose style tends toward the conciliatory. My favorite Biden line from the debate series tells the story. When the moderator in the debate here last week called time on Biden, the former vice president seemed surprised at himself when he responded: “Why am I stopping? No one else stops.” Indeed, Biden did stop, because that’s what he was supposed to do, whereas nearly all the others continued talking over the moderator. Most people probably thought little of Biden’s remark even if they unconsciously absorbed the deeper meaning of his words: Biden plays by the rules. This counts a great deal when it comes to governance and consensus-building, as you may have noticed the past three or so years. After almost five decades in public office, Biden has learned how to talk to the other side and pitch legislation without breaking down doors. Although some Democrats may see compromise as surrender and might prefer a Sanders-style revolution in the nation’s affairs, they seem to be in the minority. If the Democrats’ mission is to defeat Donald Trump this fall, then primary voters have thus far chosen wisely. There is simply no way independents and Republicans-in-exile would vote for Sanders. Indeed, Sanders is the perfect candidate if voters want to see Trump reelected. Among those disappointed with the old, white men’s club are those who had hoped Warren would lead the Democratic ticket. They blame her failed campaign on long-embedded notions that presidents should look a certain way, insisting that the deck is stacked against women. Without question, women have to strive harder than men to advance in nearly every arena and Warren out-debated, out-planned and out-did herself with a passion and energy seldom, if ever, before seen. Even so, she was often her own worst enemy. Despite her enormous talent and intelligence, Warren began losing ground when she continued to adjust her position on Medicare for All. This undermined the sincerity she otherwise conveyed. When a candidate keeps rearranging her spots, people tend to lose faith. And, by the way, didn’t the Democratic Party nominate Hillary Clinton last time around? For better or worse, Sanders and Biden have been consistent across the ages. Both are, oddly, straight out of the Silent Generation — the cohort wedged between the Greatest Generation and baby boomers. But the two men couldn’t be more different. Sanders, who honeymooned in the Soviet Union (for heaven’s sake!) moved from Brooklyn to Vermont in 1968, a pivotal year in America’s cultural history and the one in which Sanders seems still to be stuck. To him, it seems, once a radical, always a radical. Biden’s mindset was formed in the 1950s, like Trump’s, only different. In Richard Ben Cramer’s “What It Takes,” a political Bible for many of today’s journalists, Biden never thought of himself as a radical — either when he was in college in the early Sixties, much less now. He thought of himself as an athlete, as well as someone who could get all the way to the White House from the tiny state of Delaware. He still talks about taking Trump out behind the gym, sounding more like a character out of an Archie and Veronica comic than, say, one of Trump’s “people” the president sometimes sics on troublemakers at his rallies. The main difference between the two, of course, is that Biden has grown and learned from experiences that might have broken a lesser man. He has suffered and resolved to stay positive in stark contrast to Trump, who seems to relish the opposite. Both Sanders and Biden have served more years in Washington than should be allowed, respectively, 29 and 47 years. But the country isn’t yet ready for what Sanders is selling and Biden, though he trips over his words sometimes, is steady, familiar and human. Not least, like the president he served as vice president, Biden flashes a dazzling, reassuring smile, the value of which can’t be overestimated. Against the scowler-in-chief, aged 73, an experienced, congenial, happy warrior should do well. KATHLEEN PARKER’S email address is kathleenparker@washpost. com.

Pass conservation bill, national park funding THE (CHARLESTON) POST AND COURIER
P
resident Donald Trump recently announced he would sign into law a bill to fully and permanently fund the Land and Water Conservation Act and provide about $1.3 billion annually for maintaining national parks. The Senate must approve this critical measure that would end the annual cycle of sweating out congressional approval of the money needed to protect the nation’s cherished environmental sites and help fund important projects. The breakthrough is great news. The announcement was followed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell saying he would bring the bill to a floor vote within a week or two. The move represents a turnaround from the president’s budget, which provided only a small fraction of the Land and Water Act’s authorized funding. If Senate Bill 500 sponsored by Sens. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., and Steve Daines, R-Montana, is approved, $900 million would be made available annually for land conservation, outdoor recreation, parks and matching grants to states and local governments. Critically, the funding would come at no taxpayer expense. The money is derived from royalties on offshore oil and gas leases. The bill also would incorporate legislation aimed at whittling down a roughly $12 billion backlog of maintenance projects in national parks. “ … When I sign it into law, it will be HISTORIC for our beautiful public lands,” the president tweeted last week. There has been some Democrat-

ic grumbling, but the bill has been widely praised by conservation groups and enjoys mostly bipartisan support in the Senate. And regardless of political machinations, it would deliver a significant boost for land conservation efforts nationwide and for our national parks. The House has already approved full, permanent funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund. Since it was first funded in 1965, the LWCF has provided about $300 million for South Carolina national parks, monuments and wildlife refuges, as well as state and local government projects, such as Charleston’s Waterfront Park, the county’s Greenbelt Program and state forestry programs. The money also has been used for flood-mitigation projects, something that should be of particular interest in the Lowcountry. We urge Sens. Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott to support this important conservation bill. Last year, the LWCF was about half funded, and little progress was made in funding national parks. The passage of the latest bill would be a bipartisan win for the president at a time he needs to rally support, and it could help bring back into the fold some estranged conservation-minded Republicans who had been put off by the expansion of oil drilling and mining leases on federal land (and attempts to extend that work off the Atlantic Coast). Most importantly, it would be a big win for land conservation efforts and fixing up national parks, all of which benefit the general public. The Senate should seize this opportunity to do something with a lasting impact for American citizens.

Can we not strive to be better than our politicians, media and pundits? They routinely bludgeon their political targets personally, demonizing them as racists, sexists, existential threats, etc. Too often we allow ourselves to sink into their muck when our presumable interest lies in convincing others of the merits of our own preferred policies. I, for one, loathe plowing through a letter-writer’s prologue to reach a legitimate policy issue, while enduring his perseverating, wellworn, personal attacks of “Orange-man bad, Orange-man bad.” Christians posit that the Lord hates the sin, not the sinner, and that we are to avoid judging others. So we can hate injustice without demonizing those people who hold policy positions with which we disagree and which we may opine further injustice. For example, we can debate whether the country should employ detention centers at our borders and/ or how they should be operated, without characterizing debaters as xenophobes or enemies of our republic. Similarly, if someone holds a different opinion on addressing environmental issues, such does not render the other a supporter of pollution or an economic Luddite. Our nation confronts numerous difficult issues, and these will require equally difficult policy debates to fully explore every prospective policy’s ramifications. (As Milton Friedman observed with respect to any policy, “There is no free lunch.”) Following hostile pundits into their respective corners, where they scheme and map war strategies, only exacerbates those difficulties. Political scientists agree that negative campaigns work better than positive ones, and our temptation is to parrot candidates’ vitriolic slogans. As talented, highly skilled staffers ply us with focus-group-tested rhetoric, we can be easy marks. Can we not try in our local discussions, whether in our living rooms, our neighborhoods or these community pages, to avoid ad hominem attacks? Can we endeavor to carefully study the various sources, arguments and statistics offered by the other side? Not only may we achieve better solutions, we may even better ourselves and foster richer relationships within our communities. Stephen Neubeck Salem

Public health events like this one are not new to South Carolina,” Bell said. “As a state, we have responded to Zika, the H1N1 influenza pandemic, SARS and others — including seasonal flu outbreaks — and our medical consultants conduct more than 700 disease investigations each year for a variety of illnesses. We have trained, prepared and put systems in place to ensure that we are prepared and ready to respond to this and other events.” The CDC reported a total of 423 cases in the United States on Monday,

blessing of the state Office of School Facilities. “Coordinating the purchase of multiple parcels certainly had its challenges, but it was well worth it to get what is close to a perfect site for the new Seneca Middle School,” Hanvey said. District superintendent Michael Thorsland said the property “is well worth the investment” due to its proximity to all the Seneca area schools, as well as other positives. “The staff of Seneca Middle and the community as a whole have waited a long time for this,” Thorsland said. “It feels good to take this huge step toward the opening of the new Seneca Middle School.” Seneca Middle School has been in its same location on West South 4th Street, the former home of Seneca High School, since 1989. The building was originally built in 1966. The new middle school property, which has multiple owners, had been held up in probate after one of the owners died prior to the purchase being completed. School district officials say the blueprint for the new Seneca Middle will be similar to West-Oak Middle School, which opened more than a decade ago.
tems should avoid Japan. Warmer weather has rolled in and many minds may be turning to spring break travel, which authorities called a personal decision. “CDC typically posts travel health notices for countries and other international destinations — not conveyances, such as ships, airplanes or trains,” according to its website. “Because of the unusual nature of the novel coronavirus outbreak, the U.S. government is advising U.S. travelers, particularly those with underlying health issues, to defer cruise ship travel.” AAA reminds those who choose to travel to do so with the thought in mind they may be quarantined upon returning. “Traveling anywhere else is a personal decision you have to make based on all facts available,” AAA public relations manager Julie Hall said. “First and foremost, if you are feeling sick, don’t travel. For travelers considering a cruise vacation, AAA advises that the decision whether to go is a personal one that must be made by the individual. Cruise Lines
International Association (CLIA) has announced the adoption of new screening policies for its member cruise lines. Additionally, cruise lines are conducting enhanced illness screenings for many passengers prior to departure.” Hall recommends traveling with insurance documentation and enough medication to last an additional two weeks past the date of return, as well as alcohol-based hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes. For those contemplating rearranging spring travel plans, Hall said most travel insurance doesn’t cover epidemics — but many companies are offering waivers. “Customers who purchased ‘cancel anytime’ or ‘cancel for any reason’ insurance prior to Feb. 3, when coronavirus was recognized as an epidemic, or soon thereafter, may be able to cancel their trip and receive reimbursement for a portion of their non-refundable travel deposits,” she said. “If you have a trip already booked, check with your travel providers — cruise line, airline, hotel, etc. — to see what waivers they have put in place.”

Hanvey told school board trustees Monday night that the goal remains to open the new school in August 2023. But the associate superintendent cautioned that timeline could be subject to change. “It depends on the cost of construction and how much money can be generated in bond sales,” Hanvey said.
“what ifs” surrounding the coronavirus should preventative measures need to be stepped up. In Oconee, those discussions have included canceling or postponing events with large groups of people; canceling travel, particularly field trips; limiting school visitors — parents, mentors and others; and even the possibility of school closure for a period of time, according to district public information officer Jennifer Dodd. “Please be assured, these discussions are taking place so we are prepared — not because they are about to happen in our district,” Dodd said. Decisions to close schools will be made in conjunction with the state education officer and DHEC, South Carolina Superintendent of Education Molly Spearman said. “As a district, we are aware that this is a
rapidly evolving situation in our nation and our state,” Dodd said. “A decision made today may need to be changed tomorrow based on new information. We will work to quickly and efficiently communicate information while doing our best to not contribute to or create panic.” School District of Pickens County spokesman John Eby said the district considers closure of schools for an extended time due to health concerns “to be unlikely, but possible.” “The decision to close schools due to coronavirus would only be made under direct guidance from the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control,” Eby said. Eby said if schools were to close, the district “will try to allow as much learning as possible to continue with the strategies and technologies we put in place for digital learning days.”

Seneca man charged with domestic violence THE JOURNAL STAFF
SENECA — A 45-year-old Seneca man was charged with domestic violence in a February incident in which police allege he slapped and spit on a woman. Chad Byron Holloway, of Gail Court, is charged with second-degree domestic violence. He was in custody at the Oconee
County Detention Center on a $5,000 surety bond at press time Monday. On Feb. 21, a woman called the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office to report Holloway sat on top of her, choked and slapped Holloway her while know-
ing there were children in the home, according to the incident report. The victim also told deputies she is pregnant, according to the report.
Arrest made in drug sweep WALHALLA — Another Oconee County resident was arrested Friday in a countywide
drug sweep that began Feb. 13, bringing the total number of people charged to 12. Carl Monroe Webb, 28, of Webb Drive in Westminster, is charged with one count of distribution of Webb methamphetamine.
He was in custody at the Oconee County Detention Center on a $10,000 surety bond at press time Monday. The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office is looking for 17 people in its first narcotics sweep of 2020, and Webb is the 12th person served, including a few who were already in custody when the operation began, according to a news release. The warrants were obtained based on undercover buys of methamphetamine and other narcotics, the release said.

Seneca Animal Hospital offers medical care, boarding, grooming

BY NORM CANNADA THE JOURNAL
SENECA — After more than 20 years as a veterinarian, Dr. Mark Moore said he still loves working with animals and their owners. “What I enjoy most is when we call the owner back and they say, ‘Hey, Doc, he’s doing so much better,’” said Moore, who began practicing as a vet in 1997 and has owned Seneca Animal Hospital since 2001. “You can tell it in the owner’s voice. It makes them a lot happier, too, when they know their baby is feeling better. Most people consider them their babies.” Making pets — including some exotic animals — and their owners happy is Moore’s goal. “We’re always looking out for not only what’s going to be the best medicine for the pets, but what’s going to be the best medicine for the owner to be
able to manage, too,” he said. “That, in turn, will hopefully get a healthier pet and a happier owner. We have a great working relationship with a specialty clinic in Greenville, so we consult with them a lot. We do some extensive workups with our pets.” Moore has three other vets on his staff — Dr. Shannon Majsztrik, Dr. Matthew Bennett and Dr. Paul Black. Moore said he and the other vets “do quite a bit of surgery,” including some orthopedic surgery. But most of the orthopedic surgery is done by a specialist who comes in from Greenville. Serving a wide variety of pets, Moore said he has seen a lot over the years. “The interesting ones are the pets that have eaten some strange objects and you have to see the embarrassed look on the owner’s face when you say, ‘Well, we pulled a pair of your underwear out of his stomach,’

Cournow said the new boarding facility doubles the capacity the kennel has for dogs to 64, with more inside and outside space. He said cat boarding offers an optional “cat playground” with “privatized playtime.” There is another area for boarding more exotic animals, such as birds and snakes. With 10 years of experience, Heather Lee is the onsite groomer. While she said most of her animals are dogs and cats, she has groomed a rabbit whose fur was matting. All animals being boarded or groomed are kept away from the sick ones. Cournow said there are different sick wards for different types of animals and “an isolation ward” for difficult cases and animals who may be contagious. The hospital has about 30 total employees in the various areas of care. “We have a bang-up staff and we pride ourselves in treating the animals in here just like we do ours at home,” Moore said. “We focus a lot of our energies on educating the clients. Therefore, we get better response with treatment recommendations and compliance with medications.” But Moore added his work is “not all baskets of puppies and kittens.” “We see some bad ones, too,” he said. “After doing this for 20-some years, you would think I would be more comfortable doing euthanasia and things like that. Those are always hard. You just learn how to compartmentalize and try to be objective. I’ve got clients’ children who are bringing pets to me now, so it’s impossible to be objective all the time.

Cournow said Seneca Animal Hospital is sponsoring Fido’s Glo, a glowing twilight mutt strut on April 17 at Norton Thompson Park to benefit the Jaymes and Daphne Fund, which helps provide for treatment of catastrophic injuries and illness to prevent them being euthanized, according to its website. Registration begins at 6 p.m., and Cournow said owners are encouraged to put glowing items on their dogs for the event and walk or run with their dogs.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Max von Sydow, the self-described “shy boy”turned-actor known to art house audiences through his work with Swedish director Ingmar Bergman and later to moviegoers everywhere when he played the priest in the horror classic “The Exorcist,” has died. He was 90. His agent Jean Diamond said Monday the actor, who was born in Sweden but became a French citizen in 2002, died the previous day in France. “It is with a broken heart and with infinite sadness that we have the extreme pain of announcing the departure of Max von Sydow,” Diamond said. From his 1949 screen debut in the Swedish film “Only a Mother,” von Sydow starred in close to 200 film and TV productions, remaining active well into his 80s.

Take time to heal and to learn
Can’t turn a blind eye to potential health problem
Dear Dave: I went through a divorce a couple of months ago, and I’m not sure what to do next. I received custody of our kids, ages 13 and 15, plus I have a good job and I got the house in the settlement. It’s a nice, simple home, but it’s paid for and worth about $200,000. I receive $1,400 a month in child support, and I got $125,000, which was half our savI also DAVE SAYS | ings. have no other debt. Most of DAVE my friends RAMSEY are telling me I should begin investing, but they all have different ideas about where I should put the money. Can you give me some guidance? — Michelle Dear Michelle: I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through this. Divorce is hard enough when it’s just a couple, but it must be incredibly difficult with kids involved. Make sure you spend lots of time hugging on them, and telling them how much you love them. God bless you guys. OK, I know your friends are just trying to help, but I wouldn’t follow their financial advice right now. The trauma from your divorce is still fresh, and you should never make important, long-range decisions when your emotions are messed up. If there’s anything positive in all this, it’s that you’re in a really nice place where your finances are concerned. You’ve got a good job, you have no debt, and you’ve got six figures sitting in the bank. My advice is to park that money in a CD until you feel you’re getting over the shock of what has happened. You won’t make much money doing this, but you won’t lose any, either. Then, after some time has passed, I want you to find a good financial advisor — one with the heart of a teacher — and look into investing $25,000 in good growth stock mutual funds. I’m talking about ones with at least a 10-year track record of success. Time and knowledge can help erase fear, Michelle. Plus, you’ve got a responsibility to yourself and your kids to invest wisely. — Dave
Dear Annie: I believe my husband has a very serious disease. I’m an inveterate Googler and started noticing symptoms about a year ago. I mentioned his prevailing symptom to a friend in the medical field, and the condition I suspected is exactly what she popped out with. Also, my brother is an MD and he has told me that my husband should see a neurologist ASAP. The problem is that my husband won’t see a doctor, and, even if he did, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t tell them what’s really going on. He denies the symptoms that I’ve seen. I’m not the only one who has noticed. Without naming the disease, I’ve told him I’m worried and said that I know he’d feel bad if the shoe were on the other foot, but he won’t make DEAR the appointment. ANNIE | I am worried and feel like I can’t talk openly with anyone about it. If he does have the disANNIE ease, it’s incurable and terminal LANE and, from what I’ve read, there are no treatments that can slow its progression — yet. But I still feel like knowing would allow us to prepare. Is there anything I can do either to get my husband to the doctor or to find my own peace? My friend said she sees this all the time and there’s nothing to do but wait until my husband has a serious fall or accident. It feels terrible to wait for that. — Worried Wife Dear Worried Wife: I am so sorry that you are going through this. Seeing your loved one suffer is heartbreaking. Your initial instinct to want to have him take care of himself is the most natural one in the world. His instinct to run away and avoid knowing what is wrong is also a natural one that comes from fear. Now that you know that both of your instincts are natural and fair, it’s time for next steps. Sit him down and have a heart-to-heart with him, but don’t tell him that you have been Googling around and playing doctor. Rather, tell him how much you love him and that you are afraid to lose him. Tell him that you will support him in whatever the doctor says but that you would really like him to see a doctor — if not for himself, then for you, the love of his life. If that fails, ask your brother, a medical doctor, if he can help persuade your husband to see a neurologist. Best of luck to you and your family.

Dear Annie: Four years ago, I kissed my wife goodnight, and we went to sleep as usual. The next morning, she told me that she wasn’t feeling like herself and wanted to spend the day with her friends. Later that evening, she called to say that she would not be coming home until she was able to figure things out, including if she still wanted to be married and a mother to our 10-year-old daughter. I tried my best to be supportive, hoping that some personal time would help. In the 12 years that we had been together, we both shared that each of us considered the other our soulmates. — Betrayed by Soulmate Dear Betrayed by Soulmate: I am so sorry that your wife left you and your daughter. We will never know exactly why she did what she did, but what you can control is how you react to what she did. Now is the time to step into your personal power, if not for yourself, then for your daughter. Counseling or support groups can be very helpful at this time, especially for your daughter. You have to be mother and father for her, and that is a big ask, but you can do it with help from others who have survived similar challenges. “ASK ME Anything: A Year of Advice From Dear Annie” is out now!

A victorious Christian is confident that God is in control Question: How can I be certain that God is in control in the midst of conflict? — G.C. Answer: For those who belong to Christ and have Him at the center of life, God is near. When we struggle, fight, and strive for our way, we are not “resting” in the Lord. “Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; do not fret” (Psalm 37:7). MY We must let go ANSWER | of inner tensions that life sends our way, trusting in BILLY God moment by GRAHAM moment. A victorious Christian is confident that God is in control. Reliance on the Holy Spirit gives us physical and emotional rest as we set our minds on Christ. The Bible tells us: “But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him... because they are spiritually discerned.... But we have the mind of Christ” (1 Corinthians 2:14-16). We are the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. Jesus promised that God the Father would send His spirit to help us in all things. We must admit our weakness so that we can ask Him to take over. Standing with Christ means that we stand aside and let Him have His way in our hearts and minds. What a comfort to know that our Savior is constantly praying for us. “[There is] no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.... For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit... because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God” (Romans 8:1, 5, 27). This should be a tremendous encouragement to every follower of Christ. (This column is based on the words and writings of the late Rev. Billy Graham.)

So East played low, and West took the jack with the ace, but as he had nothing to gain by leading a trump, he could do no better than return a diamond. South ruffed and led a club to the queen and king, and East shifted to a trump. Declarer rose with the ace and ruffed a club for his 10th trick.

West made the natural lead of the diamond king against four spades. South won his ace and counted seven spade tricks and the two red aces leaving him one short. There were several possibilities for the 10th trick. The trump king might be onside, though the auction made this seem unlikely. The heart finesse might even be working, but if the finesse were to fail, there would be no more entries to dummy. Taking a club ruff in dummy, or finding West holding both top club honors, would also be possible approaches. Declarer felt that West was somewhat unlikely to hold both top clubs, though, as he had not led one. If the club honors were split and South played low to the queen, East would win and fire a trump through, and when West got in with the other top club, another trump would prevent a club ruff. After a little rumination, South spotted a solution better than the heart finesse. He needed to keep East off lead, or for East to be unable to utilize his club honor to good effect. So, declarer crossed to dummy and called for the club seven. If East had risen with his honor, it would

ANSWER: Bid one spade. You have too much for an immediate four-spade pre-empt, which you would do with most eight-card suits and nothing outside. One spade, followed by four spades, is the proper course of action. With hearts instead of spades, the idea of trying to shut out the boss suit would be reasonable, though.

Happy to print your comments
Tell ll ie Wi CALL 916-9749 Willie, I work at Lila Doyle. I’ve been there for 2 1/2 years. I love my job. I love my clients. But Prisma seems to want to cut jobs. My thing is: Why do they not cut management at Lila Doyle? It seems to me we have too many chiefs and not enough Indians. Everyone passes the buck in the front office. If they would cut down to maybe one or two, instead of four to five that are trying to tell everyone what to do (and they really don’t know what to do) I think things would go a whole lot smoother. So, in my opinion, as I said, we believe the office personnel needs to be cut. Thank you for listening, Willie. I would like to hear your opinion on what we could do to cut down on the office people. Thank you. Willie says: I’m happy to print your comments and to let you express your
opinion that your place of work is topheavy with managers. Listening is kinda what I do here. On the other hand, I don’t really have the facts or the information I’d need to give you any opinions or advice from me being on the outside looking in. I just hope things work out so y’all can keep on helping the folks that depend on Lila Doyle — the patients.

Report: Neighbor steals skeleton over offensive gesture CUYAMUNGUE, N.M. (AP) — A New Mexico woman is facing a larceny charge after authorities say she stole a neighbor’s anatomical skeleton model that allegedly was making an offensive gesture toward her. Court documents filed March 2 show that Diana Hogrebe was charged with one count of larceny in connection with the skeleton heist, the Santa Fe New Mexican reports. Hogrebe of Cuyamungue, New Mexico, told Santa Fe County Sheriff’s deputies she was offended by the way the skeleton’s hand was posed — with the middle finger pointed up. Hogrebe told the Santa Fe New Mexican the episode was the culmination of a monthslong feud between her and neighbor Joseph Downs, who she said has hassled her family and other nearby residents. “I just, you know, had it,” Hogrebe said. “It was like the last straw that broke the camel’s back, and I don’t know what to do.” The skeleton has not been located, authorities said. According to the deputy’s statement of probable cause, the skeleton was a gift to Downs from a family member and was worth about $1,500.
B5
Hogrebe took it in the early morning hours Feb. 27, the statement said. She told the deputy the finger pose had offended and upset her. “It just put me to the boiling point,” she said in the interview Tuesday. Downs, who has lived near her for less than a year, regularly harasses her, her 19-year-old daughter, her husband and other neighbors and family members who live in the area, Hogrebe said. He sets off a propane cannon, typically used by farmers to scare birds from their fields, she said, and plays loud music at all hours. The deputy’s statement said Downs had video showing Hogrebe entering his property and then walking back to her home with the white skeleton. Hogrebe “stated she knew what she had done was wrong and admitted to having removed the skeleton,” the statement said.

North Carolina woman goes to jail for 100th birthday ROXBORO, N.C. (AP) — For her 100th birthday, Ruth Bryant crossed a significant item off her bucket list. She went to jail. The Person County Sheriff’s Office helped fulfill Bryant’s unusual wish when two deputies showed up at her assisted living facility to serve her a warrant charging her with indecent exposure, news outlets reported. The two deputies handcuffed Bryant to her walker and placed her in a patrol car, giving her the full experience with lights and sirens flashing and blaring. Before she got in, the deputies warned her not to put up a fight, and she playfully kicked at them, WRAL reported. “Don’t kick me; I’ve got a bad knee!” said one deputy, to which Bryant replied, “I’ve got two bad knees!” The Courier-Times of Roxboro reported that as Bryant tried to get out of the patrol car, she told the deputies they should go after another criminal. “The people who make these low damn seats in all these cars,” Bryant said. “You ought to arrest every one of them.” Once in the jail, Bryant was treated like, well, a criminal. She had a mugshot taken, spent a few minutes in a jail cell, and left with an orange shirt with the words “PERSON COUNTY JAIL” on it. “I’m in the jail-house now! I finally got here!” she exclaimed.

(AP) — A Louisiana man who was smoking marijuana laced with PCP apparently wanted to take a ride so he called his local sheriff’s office, authorities said. Jeff Davis Parish Sheriff’s officials said Charles Ray Stevens, 32, was arrested Saturday on criminal mischief charges. A sheriff’s office press release said someone called the 911 emergency center four times and would not an-
swer any questions. Instead, the male caller made short comments and said he “wanted to take a ride.” Deputies went to the caller’s house and spoke with a woman who said her fiance had been smoking marijuana laced with PCP. She said he was hallucinating. Deputies then arrested Stevens and took him for a ride to the parish jail. It’s unclear whether he had an attorney who could comment on his behalf.
Seeking trial delay, sheriff makes false COVID-19 claim ATHENS, Ala. (AP) — Lawyers for a longtime Alabama sheriff seeking a delay in his Monday theft trial wrongly claimed the officer was being tested for the illness caused by a new coronavirus. With Limestone County Sheriff Mike Blakely set to go on trial on felony charges, his attorneys told a judge in a court document filed Friday he was hospitalized and being tested for COVID-19. But testimony during a rare Saturday hearing showed the 69-year-old Blakely wasn’t being tested for the illness, and Circuit Judge Judge Pride Tompkins criticized the defense for making claims that could cause a public panic, The News Courier of Athens reported. “I don’t know what your tactic is, but it’s condemned by the court,” Tompkins said. “And the court won’t tolerate it.” Defense lawyer Robert Tuten said he was simply mistaken about the sheriff’s health problem and wasn’t “trying to pull a fast one.” Records indicated Blakely was hospitalized with a respiratory problem, but a doctor testified there was no indication it was COVID-19 and such testing wasn’t needed. “There are apparently several different kinds of coronaviruses, but all we had to go on was what we knew at that moment,” Tuten said. Dr. Maria Onoya testified during the hearing that Blakely was tested for several things, including influenza and walking pneumonia, but the results came back negative. The sher-
iff has been to the emergency room three times with similar symptoms and likely wouldn’t be ready for a trial on Monday, she said. After the hearing, Tompkins ordered that all new filings in the case be sealed and unavailable to the public, so it wasn’t clear whether Blakely was out of the hospital and when the trial might begin. Grand jurors indicted Blakely last year on multiple felony counts and one misdemeanor alleging he stole campaign donations, used his job to obtain interest-free loans and solicited money from employees. He has been sheriff of the north Alabama county for about 36 years.
ASHLAND, La. (AP) — A Louisiana woman was arrested on drug charges after police determined the $5,000 cash she used to post an inmate’s bail had a “strong odor of marijuana.” Authorities began investigating Stormy Lynn Parfait, 33, on Friday, shortly after she showed up at the Ashland jail to pay the bond fee for an inmate being held there on drug charges, the Terrebonne Parish Sheriff’s Office said in a statement obtained by news outlets. After catching a whiff of the cash, a detective searched her car while she was still at the jail and found nearly $40,000 more inside, along with about 100 Klonopin pills and a food stamp card that wasn’t registered to Parfait, according to the sheriff’s statement. Investigators found hundreds of additional pills and cash as well as marijuana, cocaine and paraphernalia, during a search of Parfait’s home later, news outlets reported. Four unattended children there were turned over to a relative. Parfait was charged with multiple counts of possession with intent to distribute drugs, four counts of illegal use of a controlled drug in the presence of persons under 17, taking contraband to or into a correctional institution and other related charges, authorities said.

Tigers’ Simms named to All-ACC team BY ALEX MAMINAKIS THE JOURNAL
CLEMSON — Ahead of this week’s ACC Tournament, Clemson junior Aamir Simms got some exciting news on Monday as he was named to the All-ACC third team, the league office announced. It marks the first postseason honor for Simms, a forward from Palmyra, Va. Simms leads Clemson in scoring (13 points per game) and rebounding (7.1) this season, and he is
tied with Al-Amir Dawes for the team lead in assists with 74. Simms has posted six of his seven career 20-point games this season, including a career-best 25 points in a 79-72 win over thenNo. 3 Duke on Jan. 14. He also became the first Clemson player over the past 20 seasons to post 20 points, five rebounds and five assists in consecutive games — in wins at North Carolina and against Duke. Clemson coach Brad
Brownell is happy to see Simms’ production recognized amongst the best players in the ACC, and he knows first-hand how important Simms has been this season to the team’s success. “Really happy for him and very proud of him,” Brownell said Monday. “He’s had some outstanding games, and helped us in some tremendous wins this year. Obviously, we’ve asked a lot of him, and he’s been not only a good player, but a good
leader this year. “To be recognized in this league, with the kind of players that we have and the talent that’s in this league, as one of the top 15 players, that’s a heck of an accomplishment. … I just always am glad when guys who work that hard are rewarded, and I certainly think he deserved it.” Simms also received six votes for the conference’s most improved player, SEE SIMMS, PAGE C3

Seneca second baseman Zack LeRoy looks to tag out Daniel’s Blake Simpson as he slides into second on Monday in Central. The Bobcats won the rivalry matchup in the early-season meeting between the two teams.
Pitching paces Bobcats in win over Daniel BY ERIC SPROTT THE JOURNAL
CENTRAL — After some major losses due to graduation, even the Seneca High School baseball team’s coaching staff figured the Bobcats would have some growing pains retooling their pitching staff. But those fears may prove to be unfounded. Behind the pitching of freshman Jacob McGovern and senior Carson Smith, the Bobcats allowed just three hits in their 2-1 rivalry win at Daniel on Monday to open the regular season, as Seneca’s arms
— and a few too many mistakes by the Lions — proved to be the difference. McGovern pitched 4.2 innings of two-hit ball with eight strikeouts against only two walks, while Smith allowed just one hit the rest of the way to close the door on Daniel to open the season on a winning note. “It’s way early, but the big story so far has been pitching,” Seneca head coach Andy Bay said. “We’ve got to clean some things up defensively,
2 1
and offensively we’re leaving too many on the bags, but if we’ll keep pitching the way we are and clean some little stuff up, we’re going to have a pretty good team.” As Bay alluded to, the Bobcats (10) left the bases loaded twice in the win, including the third inning, when they loaded the bases with no outs before striking out and hitting into a double play to end the threat. In the fourth, Daniel (0-1) registered two quick outs to open the inning, but Jacob Pierce got on with a single off the outstretched SEE BOBCATS, PAGE C3

Gamecocks in talks with quarterbacks
ne of South Carolina’s top quarterback targets for 2021, Colten Gauthier of Dacula, Ga., was back for his fifth visit with the Gamecocks on Thursday. But with Mike Bobo now the Gamecocks’ quarterbacks coach — having replaced Dan Werner, who originally offered Gauthier — it was like starting the process over as Gauthier and Bobo develop their relationship. “I was at the quarterbacks meeting at 7 a.m. with coach Bobo and the quarterbacks,” Gauthier said. “I went to practice and watched in the indoor facilities. I was able to watch Bobo coach and install the new offense. I also spoke with coach (Will) Muschamp, Ryan Hilinski and Luke Doty for a while after practice on the field. I also met with the new strength coach and staff.” After all of that, Gauthier got a chance for some sit-down time with Bobo and Muschamp to catch up on things with his recruiting. “I met with coach Bobo for two hours and talked about life and football,” he said. “And I met with Coach Muschamp and Bobo in Muschamp’s office for about an hour and discussed how interested they are. “I am a top priority. I told them they are definitely a top school, and I’m looking to make a decision soon.” Gauthier said his next visit will be to UCF on March 20. He has added recent offers from Indiana, Iowa, Rutgers, Florida State and Arkansas. His previous visits before South Carolina
was to Ole Miss just before the dead period and to Auburn last Sunday. Gauthier has also FROM THE visited RECRUITING Clemson twice, TRAIL | and he said PHIL he still KORNBLUT hears from the Tigers but has not been offered. When the Gamecocks return from spring break, they will be visited by quarterback Will “Goose” Crowder (6-3, 195) of Gardendale, Ala. He’s rated a three-star prospect in the 247Sports composite and the No. 19 pro-style quarterback in the country. “Coach (Bobby) Bentley came down during the last period and watched me throw,” Crowder said. “We started building a relationship, texting back and forth, calling and communicating. It’s been going good ever since. I’ve been texting back and forth with coach Bobo as well. “The plan is to get up there on (March 21) and watch them practice and get a feel for the campus. It’s a great opportunity, I believe. I’m building a relationship with coach Bobo and coach Bentley, and I’m excited to get on campus.” PHIL KORNBLUT is a Columbia-based recruiting analyst and a six-time recipient of the South Carolina Sportscaster of the Year award.

Inciarte feeling fine in crowded Braves outfield ASSOCIATED PRESS
NORTH PORT, Fla. — When Atlanta Braves hitters talk about their goals, they rarely speak about number of home runs, RBIs, steals or average. Instead, it’s three words: “Just stay healthy.” Ender Inciarte understands that so well after an injury-plagued 2019 season. The two-plus months of recovery and rehabilitation left him thinking, “I don’t want to repeat that ever again.” Inciarte is part of a full Braves outfield that
includes one of the most talented young players in the game in Ronald Acuna Jr., free-agent acquisition Marcell Ozuna, productive Nick Markakis and veteran Adam Duvall. When he’s feeling fine, Inciarte is one of baseball’s best defensive players. From 2016-18, Inciarte was one of just four players in the majors to win a Gold Glove three straight years. The others were third baseman Nolan Arenado, pitcher Zack Greinke and outfielder Mookie Betts.
Inciarte also proved to be a solid offensive player by averaging 22 steals and a .287 batting average in that span. Last season, Inciarte’s injuries started when he missed 55 games after hurting the lumbar region in his torso. He later missed significant time because of hamstring injuries. “My body just wasn’t right,” he said. “That lower back controls your quads, your hamstrings. I was always in the training room, always trying to be upbeat. But out of about three months, I had two
months where I had some of my worst offensive moments.” Inciarte hovered around .200 in late July before he warmed up in August and brought his average to .246 and showed some power with six homers. He credited a lot of the Braves’ coaches — at both the minor- and major-league levels — with his recovery and return to Atlanta. “Ender is a pro,” Braves teammate Charlie Culberson said. “Being mentally tough and getting through injuries is really important.”

NFL players’ union extends CBA voting deadline to Saturday NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL players’ union extended the deadline by two days for its members to vote on a new labor agreement with the league.
Ballots from some 2,500 members now are due at 11:59 p.m. EDT on Saturday. The NFL Players Association gave no reason for the extension, though reaching so many players to meet the previous deadline of one week certainly can present logistical problems.
The union said on Twitter the extension came after a vote by player representatives. “Every vote matters, and we encourage all players to review the materials sent via email in order to make an informed decision,” the union wrote.

BOBCATS: Beat Lions in close game FROM PAGE C1
glove of Daniel shortstop Isaac Stewart. Pierce came through with consecutive steals to work his way to third base, then came home to score on the second of four Daniel errors on the night when a routine fly ball into short left field from Zack LeRoy dropped in as two Lions nearly collided trying to make the play. Two batters later, LeRoy came home on the third error of the night by the Lions — a misplayed ball by the second baseman. “We’re having to manufacture because we don’t have as many good hitters as we’ve had in the past,” Bay said. “We’re trying to go station to station, especially with the way we’re pitching. “Every run is huge with our pitching right now.” Daniel had little luck against McGovern and Smith, plating its lone run on consecutive errors in the fifth inning after an errant toss back to second base to try to keep Cam Peppers close to the bag. The throw hit off his helmet into the outfield, allowing him to take third base, and the throw to third from the outfield was off the mark, allowing Peppers to score. For the Lions, it was simply a matter of execution — or lack thereof — and a tough matchup against the Bobcats’ pitchers. “We’ve talked about it since day one that the team that makes the least amount of mistakes wins the ballgame 99 percent of the time,” Daniel head coach David Weathers said. “Tonight, we just made one or two more mistakes than they did. They didn’t play perfect either, but they played better than we did.” And Weathers added the Lions failed to attack the first-pitch fastball from McGovern, which he said was costly. “He was pelting that strike zone early, and we just weren’t attacking the pitches like we needed to,” Weathers said. “Then we were having to face his hook later, so he did a good job.” “This is a big statement, but he’s got the stuff and the poise to be as good as we’ve had here,” Bay added of McGovern, who
was part of the varsity team as an eighth-grader last season. McGovern said his two-seam fastball was working particularly well Monday night, and he added he, Smith and Jordan Mauldin are happy to hold things together as a pitching staff while the Bobcats’ bats heat up. “We’ve been looked over, I think, this year, but our pitching staff’s been really solid,” he said. “It’s a little offset to the pitching right now, but the bats will come around, and it’ll be even.
“Tonight was a great way to start off the year to beat Daniel, and it means a lot to us all.” SHS DWD

A first: Hamilton, Florida State ACC tourney’s top seed BY AARON BEARD ASSOCIATED PRESS
Florida State has accomplished several milestones in Leonard Hamilton’s nearly two decades with the Seminoles, from winning an ACC Tournament to getting within a game of the Final Four two seasons ago. Yet his fourth-ranked Seminoles have never been in the position they are this week: entering the league tournament as the No. 1 seed after winning their first ACC regular-season championship. The five-day tournament opens today in Greensboro, N.C., with two first-round games. The Seminoles, No. 10 Duke, No. 15 Louisville and No. 17 Virginia have byes into Thursday’s quarterfinals, with FSU trying to add a second title to its lone championship in 2012. Owning their highest ranking since December 1972, the Seminoles (26-5, 16-4 ACC) have won with a deep rotation and tough defense. Only senior point guard Trent Forrest averages 30 minutes, while the Seminoles have seven players averaging

Florida State guard Trent Forrest reacts to a dunk late in a game against Louisville on Feb. 24 in Tallahassee, Fla. between Devin Vassell’s team-high 12.7 points and Anthony Polite’s 5.8. The combination has FSU ranked as the ACC’s No. 2 scoring offense (75.4) while also ranking in the top four in shooting, free-throw and 3-point percentage. “You believe in his vision, you believe in his words,” Forrest said of Hamilton. “He got through to us at a young age. Just to see where we are now, we definitely feel like we’re program builders or changers.” Since Florida State joined the ACC for the
1991-92 season, Duke has won 13 ACC Tournament titles and North Carolina has won six. FSU can join Wake Forest (1995 and 1996) and Virginia (2014 and 2018) as the only other ACC programs to win more than one during that stretch. The Cavaliers (23-7, 15-5) surged through February to earn the 2-seed after finishing in a three-way tie for second with Louisville and Duke — two of the record-tying seven different teams to reach No. 1 in the AP Top 25 this season.

The Hurricanes (15-15, 7-13) beat the Tigers 73-68 in their lone meeting this season on Dec. 31, and Clemson will look to start tournament play strong in the first of four quarterfinal games on Wednesday at Greensboro Coliseum. alex@upstatetoday.com | (864) 882-2386 Follow on Twitter @alexmaminakis

Tigers play host to Presbyterian tonight THE JOURNAL STAFF
CLEMSON — After completing a three-game sweep of Boston College over the weekend to open conference play at Doug Kingsmore Stadium, the Clemson baseball team will return to action for a pair of midweek home games starting this evening. Coach Monte Lee’s Tigers (12-3, 3-0 ACC), who moved to No. 25 in Monday’s Collegiate Baseball poll, will face Presbyterian (2-13) this evening at 6 p.m., while they’ll also be at home Wednesday against Winthrop (11-3), with first pitch also set for 6 p.m. Against Boston College, Clemson took the opener 4-3 on Friday, then followed with 12-5 and 7-6 wins on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Clemson will be looking to snap a midweek losing streak today, as it has
dropped its previous two midweek games to East Tennessee State and the College of Charleston on Feb. 25 and March 4, Lee respectively. Pitching matchups for today and tomorrow’s game had not been announced as of Monday. Both games can be watched via ACC Network Extra. Of note, Winthrop is led by 10th-year head coach Tom Riginos, who was an assistant at Clemson under head coach Jack Leggett from 2003-10. Following the two home games, Clemson — as part of its first five-game week of the season — will make its first road trip of conference play when it opens a three-game series at Wake Forest on Friday night.
Softball back home today CLEMSON — After having its 10-game winning streak snapped on Sunday, the Clemson softball team will look to get back to its winning ways when it hosts Presbyterian today at 4 p.m. Even with the loss, the Tigers (18-8, 4-1 ACC) still took the three-game series victory over Pittsburgh, despite tallying just three hits on Sunday in their 8-2 loss to the Panthers. Clemson took the opener on Friday by a score of 9-1 in five innings, and followed that with a 7-2 win on Saturday. Today’s game against the Blue Hose (16-7) will be available to watch via ACC Network Extra, and Clemson will make its first road trip of conference play on Friday to open a three-game series at Georgia Tech.
NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS closing locker rooms amid virus scare BY TIM REYNOLDS ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI — The NBA, NHL, Major League Baseball and Major League Soccer are closing access to locker rooms and clubhouses to all non-essential personnel in response to the coronavirus crisis, the leagues announced in a joint statement Monday night. The leagues said they made the decision “after consultation with infectious disease and public health experts.” The NBA, in a call with teams earlier Monday, stressed that the move is not to ban reporters but to ensure the safety of players and staff in those areas. The statement, in part, read: “Given the issues that can be associated with close contact in preand post-game settings, all team locker rooms and clubhouses will be open only to players and essential employees of teams and team facilities until further notice. Media access will be maintained in designated locations outside of the locker room and clubhouse setting.” The changes, which the leagues say are temporary, will begin today — though some NHL teams began putting them into use this past weekend. The NBA said interviews with players would continue in different settings, stressing a gap of 6-to-8 feet between reporters and interview subjects. It is unclear how long the new policies will last. For most people, the new coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia. The vast majority of people recover from the new virus. According to the World Health Organization, people with mild illness recover in about two weeks, while those with more severe illness may take three to six weeks to recover. In mainland China, where the virus first exploded, more than 80,000 people have been diagnosed and more than 58,000 have so far recovered. “Roses are red, Violets are blue, Wash your hands! WASH YOUR HANDS!” Enes Kanter of the Boston Celtics wrote on Twitter.

Sporting events in Italy to be halted because of virus ROME (AP) — Sports ground to a halt throughout Italy late Monday night when Premier Giuseppe Conte announced that games and travel will be banned nationwide. “There’s no reason for the games to continue,” Conte said. “The fans will have to deal with it. We won’t even allow gyms to be used.”
A new government decree that will come into effect today and last until April 3 will stop games in Italy’s top soccer division and preparatory events for the Tokyo Olympics. Events around the world have been affected by the spreading virus, including Champions League soccer matches and Japan’s professional baseball season. Late Sunday, one of the biggest tennis tournaments in the world was postponed.

No. 1 Gamecocks take SEC title BY PETE IACOBELLI ASSOCIATED PRESS
GREENVILLE — “Mad Kiki” is a believer in South Carolina at last. It was almost a year ago when Mikiah Herbert Harrigan came to coach Dawn Staley saying she wasn’t happy at South Carolina and wanted to transfer. So after Herbert Harrigan, nicknamed “Mad Kiki,” earned SEC tournament MVP honors following the top-ranked Gamecocks’ 76-62 victory over No. 9 Mississippi State on Sunday, Staley made sure to catch up with her senior star. “I know you didn’t envision this a few months ago,” Staley said she told Herbert Harrigan. “She said, ‘I didn’t. But now I’m a believer.’” The rest of the country is, too, as Herbert Harrigan had 15 points and Brea Beal added 12 points and 11 rebounds as South Carolina (32-1) won its fifth
Trainers, vets, others charged in racehorse-drugging scheme (AP) — More than two dozen people, including the trainer of champion Maximum Security, were charged in what authorities described Monday as a widespread international scheme to drug horses to make them race faster. Trainer Jason Servis, whose stable includes the 3-year-old champion, was charged with administering performance-enhancing drugs to that horse and others. Maximum Security crossed the finish line first at the 2019 Kentucky Derby before being disqualified for interference and has since won four

South Carolina celebrates after defeating Mississippi State in the championship game at the SEC women’s tournament in Greenville on Sunday. SEC tournament title in six seasons. Herbert Harrigan, a 6-foot-2 forward, was a reserve on the 2017 national champions and thought she might get lost among the Gamecocks’ No. 1 recruiting class. Instead, Herbert Harrigan has led the way both with her play and her emotion. Herbert Harrigan got
into a scuffle with Mississippi State’s Yemiah Morris and Jessika Carter in the second quarter, living up to that nickname. “I like it,” she said. “I do.” The Gamecocks won their 26th straight and should be the No. 1 overall seed — along with the favorite — in the NCAA Tournament.
of his five high-profile races. The charges against trainers, veterinarians and others were detailed in four indictments unveiled Monday in Manhattan federal court. Charges brought against the 27 people include drug adulteration and misbranding conspiracy. Performance-enhancing drugs “were given to racehorses in an effort to increase their performance beyond their natural abilities,” William F. Sweeney Jr., assistant director in charge of the FBI New York Office, said at a news conference. “What actually happened to the horses amounted to nothing less than abuse. They experienced cardiac issues, overexertion
leading to leg fractures, increased risk of injury, and, in some cases, death. Conversely, the human being involved in the scheme continued to line their purses as they manipulated this multibillion-dollar horse racing industry across the globe.” Authorities say the drugs can cause horses to overexert themselves, leading to heart issues or death. According to the indictments, other drugs used to deaden a horse’s sensitivity to pain to improve the horse’s performance could also lead to leg fractures. National Thoroughbred Racing Association president and CEO Alex Waldrop called the charges “abhorrent.”

Trump wants payroll tax relief to calm markets BY ZEKE MILLER ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Monday his administration will ask Congress to pass payroll tax relief and other quick measures as a public health and economic maelstrom brought on by the coronavirus drew closer to him personally. Intending to calm the fears of financial markets over the impact of the epidemic, Trump told reporters he is seeking “very substantial relief” to the payroll tax. Trump also said he was seeking help for hourly-wage workers to ensure they’re “not going to miss a paycheck” and “don’t get penalized for something that’s not their fault.” He stepped forward with the contours of an initiative after markets dropped sharply and as the outbreak spread. Several Trump confidants in Congress disclosed they were isolating themselves after potential exposure to the virus; one traveled with the president from Florida on Air Force One on Monday. Trump said he would hold a press conference today to outline the proposals, saying his administration and Congress would be “discussing a possible payroll tax cut or relief, substantial relief, very substantial relief, that’s big, that’s a big number. We’re also going to be talking about hourly wage earners getting help so that they can be in a position where they’re not going to ever miss a paycheck.” As Trump grappled with an epidemic whose consequences he has repeatedly played down, the White House asserted it was conducting “business as usual.” But the day’s business was anything but normal. Lawmakers pressed for details on how the Capitol could be made secure, handshakes on the Hill were discouraged and a Pentagon meeting was broken into sub-groups to minimize the number of people in the same room. The president himself dove into handshakes with supporters earlier in the day, when arriving to headline a fundraiser in Longwood, Florida, that raised approximately $4 million for his reelection campaign and the Republican Party.
Stocks plummet amid coronavirus fears and oil-price crash
ASSOCIATED PRESS
A market trader takes a break Monday outside of the New York Stock Exchange. Stocks went into a steep slide Monday on Wall Street as coronavirus fears and a crash in oil prices spread alarm through the market, triggering the first automatic trading halt in more than two decades. BY STAN CHOE AND ALEX VEIGA ASSOCIATED PRESS
Stocks took their worst one-day beating on Wall Street since the global financial crisis of 2008 as a collapse in oil prices Monday combined with mounting alarm over what the coronavirus could do to the world economy. The staggering losses, including a 7.8 percent tumble in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, immediately raised fears that a recession might be on the way in the U.S. and that the record-breaking 11-year bull market on Wall Street may be coming to an
abrupt end in a way no one even imagined just a few months ago. The drop was so sharp that it triggered the first automatic halt in trading in more than two decades. European stock indexes likewise registered their heaviest losses since the darkest days of the 2008 meltdown and are now in a bear market. Together, the selloffs reflected growing anxiety over the potential global economic damage from the coronavirus, which has infected more than 110,000 people worldwide and killed about 4,000 while prompting factory shutdowns, travel bans, closings
of schools and stores, and cancellations of conventions and celebrations big and small. “The market has had a crisis of confidence,” said Willie Delwiche, investment strategist at Baird. The market slide came as Italy, the hardest-hit place in Europe, began enforcing a lockdown against 16 million people in the north, or one-quarter of the country’s population, and then announced that travel restrictions would be extended nationwide. Premier Giuseppe Conte said all people will have to demonstrate a valid reason to travel beyond where
they live. The turmoil in Italy — marked by masked police officers and soldiers checking travelers’ documents and restrictions that affected such daily activities as enjoying an espresso at a cafe counter or running to the grocery store — is expected to push the country into recession and weigh on the European economy. Elsewhere around the world, Ireland went so far as to cancel St. Patrick’s Day parades, and Israel ordered all visitors quarantined just weeks before Passover and Easter, one of the busiest travel periods of the year.
Italian premier locks down entire country to stop virus BY COLLEEN BARRY AND ANTONIO CALANNI ASSOCIATED PRESS
MILAN — Italian Premier Giuseppe Conte put his entire country on lockdown Monday to combat the coronavirus, banning all but the most important travel and putting the final kibosh on social gatherings after Italians failed to take previous warnings to heart amid skyrocketing infections. Two days after imposing the same strict measures on a quarter of the country, in the hard-hit north, Conte urged all 60 million Italians to stay home. The only travel allowed will be for proven work reasons, for health conditions or other cases of necessity. “Our habits must be changed, changed now. We all have to give up something for

“We will succeed only if we all collaborate and we adapt right away to these more stringent norms.”
| U.S. BRIEFS | Juul Labs sought to court AGs as teen vaping surged WASHINGTON (AP) — It was a blunt warning about the dangers of youth vaping: Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr announced late last month that his state had joined 38 others to investigate whether Juul Labs, the nation’s largest electronic cigarette company, promoted and sold its nicotine-heavy products to teens. It was a moment Juul had worked to avoid. Ten months earlier, a team of Juul representatives met with Carr and his senior staff. They delivered a 17-page presentation laden with information about the public health potential of Juul’s combustion-free vaping devices for adult smokers and the company’s “commitment to ending youth use,” a pledge that included more rigorous retail and online sales controls. Juul had access, but it did not pay off. In that way, the company’s experience in Georgia was typical. Again and again, the company met with Carr and other state attorneys general, in many cases giving money to their campaign funds. But again and again, it was stymied in its efforts to forestall legal action.
Stakes rise for Sanders heading into Michigan primary ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Bernie Sanders proved the seriousness of his presidential bid in 2016 with an upset victory in Michigan powered by his opposition to free trade and appeal among working-class voters. Four years later, the same state could either revive the Vermont senator’s campaign or relegate him to the role of protest candidate. Michigan and five other states hold presidential contests today at a critical point in the Democratic race. Former Vice President Joe Biden is looking to cement his front-runner status after winning the most delegates during Super Tuesday last week. He’ll campaign later Monday in Detroit with former presidential rivals Kamala Harris and Cory Booker, who have endorsed Biden in recent days as part of a broader consolidation of support among party leaders. Sanders is in an urgent fight to turn things around as the primary calendar quickly shifts to other states in the coming weeks that could favor Biden and narrow his path to the nomination. He countered the parade of Democratic firepower lining up behind Biden by securing the endorsement of the Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Sesame’s Count wants to get young kids counted in census ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — No age group was undercounted as much during the last once-a-decade census as children under 5, researchers say. Sesame Street is hoping to use Count von Count to change that. The Muppet best known as the Count is joining Elmo, Rosita and her mom, Rosa, in public service announcements filmed on the set of the long-running educational television show. The spots encourage parents of young children to make sure they and their children are counted in the 2020 census. The public service announcements in English and Spanish started airing Monday. The head count starts for most people this Thursday. In the ad, the Count plays a census taker. Casting for the spots was purposeful, Sesame Workshop officials said. “Rosita is a bilingual Muppet. Elmo is popular and connected to young children and families, and the Count is so logical when it comes to being counted,” said Jeanette Betancourt, Sesame Workshop’s senior vice president of U.S. Social Impact.

Financial analysts project that the sporting goods retailer’s fiscal fourth-quarter earnings and revenue increased from a year earlier. That would match the company’s results in the previous three quarters. Dick’s Sporting Goods reports its latest results today.

Diamondback Energy (FANG) $26.88, -21.68 $23
Russia refused last week to join the OPEC oil cartel’s production cuts, and Saudi Arabia, the leading OPEC member, sharply changed course by cutting prices and signalling it will ramp up output. Among the hardest hit oil explorers were Texas’ Diamondback Energy, Apache and Marathon Oil. All three companies lost more than a 40% of their value Monday.
