The

scrap-booking craze of a few years back has died off, as most fads do But there are still aisles of scrap-booking paraphernalia in the craft stores, and scrapbook.com sites to give inspiration and guidance to devotees. The reason is simple: as long as we live, we make memories; and as long as we make memories, we want to preserve them so that we can look back on them in future years.

to a town or a city, having weathered the storms of time and seen both the momentous and the mundane in human life along the way. Our country is not as old as the nations of Europe, nor is our city of a similar vintage to Glasgow or Bruges.

The National Association of Home Builders states buyers are now looking for smaller, more livable homes with flexible floor plans, energy-efficient appliances and plenty of storage space.

• Matte finishes: Stainless steel and luster have been popular for years.

However, the next big thing is matte finishes on faucets, appliances and even in countertops. These less flashy finishes are prized for their warmth and elegance. While some high-end models with matte finishes have been available for several years, even less

expensive models are now available.

• Smarter technology: Many homeowners are embracing smart technology throughout their homes, but it’s not just lights that turn on with voice command or more efficient thermostats. Innovative technology includes toilets that can autonomously stay clean and sanitized, refrigerators equipped with cameras so homeowners can see the contents inside and indoor food recyclers that can turn food waste into fertilizer.

Staying abreast of the ever-changing trends in home improvement and real estate can help consumers make the best choices with regard to buying and building their homes.

Appropriate attire and footwear can make hikes safer and more enjoyable.

The wooly bear, which is seen in the fall of the year as well, also becomes a species of tiger moth. The life cycle of both of these moths will continue when eggs are laid on the caterpillar’s favorite food tree.

Webworms should not be confused with the tent caterpillar, which also creates a silk mass on trees. The difference is that tent caterpillars build their webs in the crotches of branches in the spring and come out of the tent to feed on nearby leaves.

Securing retirement through engaging in business exit planning It is estimated that the Baby Boomer generation is entering retirement at a rate of approximately 10,000 people per day.

That is a startling figure. While some Boomers are prepared for retirement, others are not.

Many soon-to-be retirees are closely-held business owners who have created and run successful businesses for many years are now considering what thenextmovewillbe.Theyoften askthemselvesquestionssuchas, “Should I transfer my interests to children, key employees, or should I sell to an outside thirdparty?Howmuchismybusiness worth?WillIbeabletoachievefinancialindependence?Whatare the risks? What could go wrong?

HowcanIcreateaplanthatkeeps me in control and provides me greater options?”

These questions are healthy questions and worth taking time to consider since it is estimated that for closely-held business owners at least 85 percent or more of their net worth is wrapped up in their business.

Because the vast preponderance of their net worth is wrapped up in their business it

Moultrie News

www.moultrienews.com

Resources for the Aging Portal offers seniors tips, guidance

becomes even more critical to engage the exit planning process early. Starting early will allow you to think through and address critical planning needs that, to put it simply, require time. Every successful exit begins with deciding when you wish to exit, to whom you wish to sell or transfer, and how much you want or need from the business.

Likewise, many business owners have secondary value-based goals they wish to fulfill such as making sure long-time employees are taken care of or that their business legacy and community involvement remains intact.

Your exit plan should address and take into consideration personal and business asset protection, strategies for tax minimization and value maximization, successor development, business continuity planning, and estate planning.

Ultimately, your exit plan is your blueprint that keeps you in control and in front of the exit planning process. This blueprint provides you the f lexibility and adaptability you need if plans were to change. If a key

employee were to back out or a third party came along offering top dollar, a well-designed exit plan will be able to adjust.

For Boomers, these components should be carefully considered and intentionally integrated into a comprehensive, tailored plan. If you wish to explore a transfer to insiders (key employees and/or children) it is recommended to begin the process at least six to eight years in advance. If your intent is to sell to an outside third-party you should start planning at least two to three years in advance.

Intentionally planning for these components today helps pave the way for a successful exit tomorrow and provides you greater options and peace of mind. In short, we believe that the greatest gift you can give yourself, your family, and your business is the gift of time.

Registration now open for inaugural Mount Pleasant Pickleball Paddle Battle Registration is now open for the Mount Pleasant Recreation Department’s Inaugural Pickleball Paddle Battle. This event will take place Saturday, April 21 and Sunday, April 22 at the Park West Recreation Complex.

Pickleball, an indoor/outdoor sport, is an exciting game that blends elements of tennis, badminton and ping-pong. Played on a badminton-sized court, the running distance required is much less than tennis. Additionally, players use a perforated plastic whiff le ball and paddle during the low-impact sport.

After observing the enthusiasm for the sport at both the national and local level, the Mount Pleasant Recreation Department decided to host a pickleball tournament of its own.

The Pickleball Paddle Battle will consist of two days of matches, with men’s pairs playing first on Saturday, April 21, and women’s pairs playing the following day, Sunday, April 22.

Play will begin at 8 a.m. and end by 2 p.m.

Twenty-four doubles teams will be divided into three groups of eight teams each day. Each

team will play every other team in their group, with the winners determined by their win/loss record. In the event of a tie teams will face off in a head-to-head tiebreaker.

To register online, visit MtPleasantRec.com/Register and enter registration code 31840001formen’spairsand318400-02 for women’s pairs. Entry is $40 per team.

Santa’s elves have their work cut out for them this year.

Heath Springs Elementary students have written their lists, and it looks like Santa’s helpers have a lot of iPhones and video games to make.

Most of the students are ready to put out chocolate chip cookies and milk to thank Santa for their gifts.

Others are planning to bake cinnamon and macadamia nut cookies.

Bryce Peterson, 10, is asking Santa to bring him a duffle bag, soccer cleats and video games.

“I’m a good boy,” Bryce said when asked if he’s on the naughty list.

Dallas Vick, 10, said on his Christmas list, he wrote “shoes, PlayStation games and a new phone.”

Dallas said he enjoys spending time with his family during the holiday.

“We always go to my Mimi’s house and eat on Christmas Eve,” he said.

Kamryn Harding, 8, said he wants a laptop, bookshelf, desk, office chair and books for Christmas.

Kamryn said he always puts out cinnamon cookies for Santa.

His favorite thing about Santa – “he’s jolly,” Kamryn said.

Aadyn Verjes, 9, wants a laptop so she can do research.

Aadyn said she likes to play all day on Christmas.

“My favorite thing is to wake up early and play with presents,” she said.

Most of the students said they weren’t on the naughty list, but Landon Neal, 10, said he didn’t know if he was on the list or not.

Landon is asking Santa for clothes, shoes and baseball gloves, and he said his favorite thing to do around Christmas is make gingerbread houses.

Something new and trendy Santa’s elves will have to make this year is a “popcorn purse,” which is on 9-year-old Madison Macomber’s list.

Madison is also asking for books and an MP3 player.

Ja’Quavion Moore, 9, said “we celebrate” on Christmas.

“We make cupcakes and dress up like Santa,” he said.

Asked if he’s on the naughty list, Ja’Quavion said, “No, ma’am.”

Kaitlyn Hudson, 10, said she likes to draw, so Santa’s elves will be making her colored pencils and coloring books.

Kaitlyn said Santa is a big part of Christmas time.

“He helps us celebrate Christmas and Jesus’ birthday,” she said.

Susan Renee Hayes, 40, was arrested on five drug charges: trafficking 10 to 28 grams of coc a i n e a n d methamp h e t Hayes amine, possession with intent to distribute alprazolam and marijuana, and possession of Oxycodone.

registered to a 2006 Chrysler.

After pulling Hayes and the car’s three male occupants over at the MJ Mart on Charlotte Highway, the deputy found Hayes didn’t have a driver’s license, valid registration for the car or insurance.

A second deputy arrived, smelled marijuana in the car and saw an open beer in the front passenger floor, according to Barfield.

The subsequent search turned up multiple plastic bags containing 10.5 grams of cocaine, 15.7 grams of methamphetamine, 22 grams of marijuana and several Xanax and Oxycodone pills. The search also turned up a glass pipe and $667 in cash.

car was ticketed for an open-container violation.

Hayes’ arrest was second significant drug arrest in Indian Land on Monday. Former school board member James Brooks was arrested earlier that evening and charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute.

Brooks resigned from the school board a year ago after being charged with trafficking methamphetamine. A few weeks later, he was charged with heroin possession. He is awaiting trial on those charges, according to the 6th Judicial Circuit Public Index.

Something that I found fascinating at the Maululu Clinic was the mother’s shelter, where expectant mothers stay to wait for the birth of their child, reducing risk of delivering at home and facing problems without a nurse present. Mothers can be there for several weeks.

“When your children are immunized, they are healthy and free from disease,” Prisca said.

sideline while scoring 35 points, Kyrie Irving added 24 and the Cleveland Cavaliers picked up where they left off following a long layoff and throttled Toronto 116-105 on Monday night in the opener of their Eastern Conference semifinal.

The Cavs hadn’t played since April 23, when they completed a four-game sweep of Indiana. But the defending champions didn’t show signs of rust and were well-prepared to face the revenge-seeking Raptors, who lost to Cleveland in last year’s conference finals.

Toronto dropped to 1-12 in playoff openers, and the Raptors got blown out for the fourth straight time in Cleveland.

Game 2 is Wednesday night.

“As a team I think we had great energy, and even some of the mistakes that we had we were able to cover up for because our energy level was high,” James said. “But we’ll be a lot better on Wednesday.”

Kyle Lowry scored 20 and DeMar DeRozan 19 for the Raptors, who were within seven in the third quarter before James dropped a 3-pointer, converted a three-point play, drained another 3 and then considered washing down a brew.

After drawing a foul on a missed layup, James playfully hopped toward the sideline, where a courtside server was passing by. The threetime champion reached and grabbed a beer bottle from her tray and brought it toward his lips before putting it back.

“I was standing right next to him,” said J.R. Smith. “I thought it was hilarious until I thought that if I did it, it wouldn’t have been taken the right way. It was funny, though.”

With trade acquisitions

seems to be getting better.

After nearly averaging a triple-double against the Pacers, he reminded the Raptors that to move on they’ll have to beat him.

“We’ve just got to play defense and not let them do up and down and do what they do, play defense for 48 minutes,” Lowry said. “We got to find ways to limit their spurts.”

Before the game, Toronto coach Dwane Casey talked about the big comebacks that have been a theme in these playoffs. The Raptors blew a 25-point lead to Milwaukee in the first round, while the Cavs overcame a 25-point deficit and pulled off the biggest second-half rally in playoff history.

“There’s no lead safe in the NBA,” he said.

That’s what happened to the Cavs in the first half as they built an 18-point lead only to watch the Raptors go on a 19-3 burst.

Sullivan developed the idea, he says, in response to a simple need: a tangible, yet nuanced way for his psychology patients to report their mental state.

Corley was first a student of Brian’s, who, after graduation, sought a letter of recommendation from her former professor for graduate school. The two ended up collaborating for the summer on another of Brian’s projects when Corley took a look at Brian’s “morphii” idea.

After sketching things out, Brian realized he had a potentially powerful ally in bringing the platform to life, and so their journey began.

County plans merge with Old Fort Fire Department

1/2 PAGE OR GREATER

BY JENNA-LEY HARRISON jharrison@journalscene.com

Dorchester County officials announced plans May 24 of an “informal agreement” for its fire department to merge with Old Fort Fire Department.

A property tax hike will not result from the merger, which currently has no set date but is expected to be completed by the year’s end, county officials said.

At its June 5 meeting, County Council will vote on a memorandum of understanding, which Old Fort officials will then review for approval, according to a press release.

All current Old Fort employees will also have an opportunity to transfer to the county department, where some firefighters already volunteer and work part-time, fire of-

ficials have said.

In January the county absorbed fire coverage for Old Fort stations 5 and 7 in the Knightsville/Jedburg area known as tax district 209. Old Fort station 4 was also closed during that time due to poor working conditions.

Council voted in November 2015 to take over district 209, but the decision was met with opposition from some Old Fort board members and district residents, who started a petition to try to stop absorption.

This time around both county officials and Old Fort board members have said the recent merger discussion is a positive one, though also bittersweet.

In the release, Council Chairman Jay Byars and Old Fort Board Chairman Steve Burke issued the following statement: “While this is an emotional and

difficult decision for many, we are all proud of the fantastic job that Old Fort Fire has done for over 40 years protecting our community.

Our county is changing rapidly and the time has come that we boldly embrace our efforts, working together for a safer community. We are proud of our firemen and women and also the efforts of our members to work together in good faith for the best decision for our citizens and our employees. While change is sometimes difficult to embrace, it also presents opportunity for a new and better future, and that is our shared goal and commitment.”

Old Fort, which boasts an ISO rating of 3, was established in 1973.

Dorchester County Fire and Rescue, with an ISO Class 4 rating, was formed in 2013 from the merging FILE/JOURNAL SCENE of multiple rural and volunteer departments throughout the county. Dorchester County plans to merge with the Old Ford Fire Department.

• Small businesses tend to buy from other small businesses.

When they purchase locally-sourced ingredients or products, they also contribute to their neighbor business’ success and the economic well-being of the community entire.

• Customer service at small businesses can be a more personal experience. Customers may easily build relationships with owners and staff, and perhaps even feel like they’ve become part of a family.

• Small businesses create jobs and are often better work-places than large chains.

• They dictate their own prices to remain competitive, which means you can often �ind better quality items at good costs.

• Small business owners are generally experts in their �ield and are better equipped to answer complex questions or provide innovative solutions for their customers

differently,” Artigliere said.

One of the primary changes is reducing the number who serve.

The change reduces the number of voting members from 16 to 11, with four, instead of five, city residents; at least four rather than five business organizations operating in Clemson; at least one representative of a bank operating in Clemson; at least one representative from a real estate or development organization operating in Clemson; and the president of the Clemson Area Chamber of Commerce.

At least eight of the 11 or more voting members will be residents of the city.

The executive director

of Alliance Pickens, a representative of Clemson University, a representative of Tri-County Technical College; a representative of Southern Wesleyan University; a representative of the School District of Pickens County; and a member of the Clemson City Council will serve as ex-officio members.

Other changes include all voting members being appointed by the mayor and city council, with staggered one, two and three-year appointments in which one-year appointments will be determined by drawing lots. Terms of appointment thereafter will be for a three-year period, with mayor and city council having the authority to

fill an unexpired term or remove any member.

“When you get too large a number, you don’t get as much buy in,” Artigliere said. “We want to make sure that what we’re discussing is relevant to everyone here and that they’re engaged.”

The mission of the Economic Development Advisory Committee is to study, report and make recommendations to the city council in an effort to promote quality economic development, including commercial, small business, research and light industry and promote the development of residential housing in the city.

Artigliere reported to council last year that since the committee’s

“Our goals for 2018 are to relay information on commercial real estate growth and the latest retail developments, focus on new and existing businesses, take the lead on identifying the businesses the community and its residents have indicated they would want and support and enhance communication between the city and Clemson University,” Halfacre said. goliver@upstatetoday.com | (864) 973-6687 Follow on Twitter @JournalGO

Honoring Our Veterans

Veterans Day: Getting back to the basics

W

hen preparing to write this article, I found myself looking back at old newspaper clippings to draw inspiration. What I ended up finding was an eye-opening experience.

Today more than ever, Americans need to return to the basic habits of love of country, love of their heritage and love of service to others.

Veterans Day began as Armistice Day on Nov. 11, 1918. The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. The Great War ended and our veterans came home and were honored as heroes.

When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, that single act united this nation in a wave of national patriotism and pride. With patriotism so strong we were able to win against overwhelming odds.

On Sept. 11, 2001, when terrorists invaded our country and senselessly killed so many Americans, the country again came together as one to stand and fight for justice.

As Americans and freedomloving people, we are all citizens under one flag. We stand and we place our hands over our hearts and we pledge our allegiance as “one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

So on Nov. 11, 2017, let us as Americans, as South Carolinians, as Lancaster County residents once again get back to the basics of loving one another, loving our country, loving our state, loving the county we live in, loving each other and never forgetting the men and women who fought to get us where we are today.

I hope everyone will come out and celebrate Veterans Day with us in downtown Lancaster on Main Street on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Let us show our support for our veterans in the annual Veterans Day Parade.

Robin Ghent is the Veterans Affairs officer for Lancaster County.

Lancaster County Veterans Day ceremonies and celebrations will kick off with a Nov. 10 program at the Buford Battlefield, 262 Rocky River Road, Lancaster, and end with the Veterans Day parade and ball Nov. 11.

Army Privates Cory Whitley and Khalil Evans of Lancaster have arrived at their new post in South Korea and will be stationed there for 18 months as motor transport operators.

The Korean peninsula is one of the world’s military hot spots, with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un testing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles and threatening South Korea, Japan and even the United States. President Trump has warned Kim that attacking America or its allies will result in overwhelming retaliation.

Whitley and Evans couldn’t discuss operational details in an interview just days before their deployment, but they said they were excited to go. Their job is to transport supplies, ammunition and explosives to the front lines or to other bases.

“It is good to experience, see the world and meet other people,” said Evans. “I never thought I would be in See BUDDIES I Page 7B

Program at Buford Battlefield

Gary Adams had just celebrated his 17th birthday in 1955. He was finally old enough to join the Navy if his father would consent.

He remembers plowing a field behind a mule and dreaming of faraway lands and a better life.

“All I knew is I wanted to be in the military,” Adams said. “I wanted to serve my country, and I wanted to travel. And I knew I couldn’t do nothing there on that farm.”

After a brief conversation with a Navy recruiter standing in the field, his father, a sharecropper, made his mark on the parental consent form, and Adams began a 31-year career in the Navy.

Adams was visiting his daughter’s family in Buford on a Sunday afternoon last month. He began telling stories. Three generations of his family, which included three military service members, gathered round to listen.

“I wasn’t going to sit in Ruby, South Carolina, and live there my whole life,” he said.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month A breast cancer Q&A

THIRD PLACE

The Lancaster News Staff FOR

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Screening For The Breast Cancer Gene: Who Is At Risk?

North American Precis Syndicate

If you’re like many Americans, you may have heard about the BRCA gene and wondered what it is and whether it is something that could affect you and your family.

BRCA is short for “BReast CAncer susceptibility gene.”

There are two main types of BRCA gene, BRCA1 and BRCA2.

When these changes are present, a woman’s risk of developing breast and ovarian cancers, as well as some other types of cancer, is greatly increased. A BRCA test is a blood test that looks for mutations, or changes that might be harmful, in these genes.

Who is at risk?

Mutations in the BRCA gene are hereditary, so they run in families. Most women—more than 90 percent—do not have a family history that puts them at increased risk of having a BRCA mutation.

You are at increased risk of having a BRCA mutation if you are of Ashkenazi Jewish descent or if there is a history of certain types of cancer in your family.

For example, you are at in-

creased risk if there have been multiple cases of breast cancer in your family, you have a male relative with breast cancer or you have a family member who has had any of the following: a breast cancer diagnosis before age 50, breast cancer in both breasts or two types of BRCArelated cancer—such as both breast and ovarian cancer.

Who should be tested?

According to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a woman with a family history of BRCA-related cancer should be screened by her primary care doctor or nurse to determine if she is at increased risk of having a BRCA mutation. During this screening, the doctor or nurse will ask questions about the history of BRCA-related cancer in a woman’s family.

After screening, women who are found to be at increased risk should see a genetic counselor, a type of health care professional who specializes in genes and disease. A genetic counselor may recommend BRCA testing based on that counseling. Before this type of screening, most doctors will

first test a family member with known breast or ovarian cancer for a mutation, if possible.

The BRCA test is not a test for cancer itself, but rather a test for the gene mutation and a positive test does not mean that a woman will definitely get cancer. For women who are at increased risk of having a BRCA mutation, genetic counseling and genetic testing can help them determine their best course of action based on their risk.

The BRCA test is only recommended for women who are at increased risk for certain types of cancers. This is because the test does not always provide a clear answer—results are often inconclusive, which can lead to increased anxiety.

All women can reduce their cancer risk While a BRCA gene mutation can be frightening, it is not something that most women need to worry about. All women can reduce their risk of cancer by adopting healthy lifestyle habits, such as limiting alcohol, not smoking, being physically active and maintain-

ing a healthy weight. Receiving regular mammograms is also an important tool to help identify breast cancer early. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends mammograms every other year for women aged 50 to 74 and for some women in their 40s based on their values about the benefits and harms of screening.

Recommendations to protect your health The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force is an independent group of national experts in primary care, prevention, and evidence-based medicine. The aim of the Task Force’s work is to evaluate and identify critical preventive health services that a primary care professional can perform.

For more information on the Task Force and to read its full report on risk assessment, genetic counseling and genetic testing for BRCA-related cancer in women, visit www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org.

If you have a history of breast or ovarian cancer in your family, talk to your doctor about genetic screening.

The Pink Ribbon campaign has made breast cancer a somewhat familiar topic for most of us, and yet there are still many false beliefs about the disease that persist.

In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, sponsored by the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF), here are some answers to the most-asked questions. ◆ If my doctors detect breast cancer, will I have to get a mastectomy?

These days, if the cancer was detected early on, there’s a very good chance you won’t need one.

There’s evidence that lumpectomies with radiation are highly effective in treating early-stage breast cancer. ◆ If I find a lump in my breast, what are the chances it’s cancer?

The NBCF says that only a small percentage of lumps turn out to be cancerous. However, it’s better to be safe than sorry, so talk to your doctor, and keep in mind that the survival rate for early-detected, localized breast cancer is 100 percent over five years. ◆ If my mother had breast cancer, will I get it?

According to the NBCF, only ten percent of women who are diagnosed have a family history of breast cancer. Nevertheless, if there has been breast cancer in your immediate family, or if an aunt or grandmother was diagnosed, talk to your doctor about diagnostic image screening. ◆ Does using antiperspirant increase my chances of getting breast cancer?

To date, researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have not found any conclusive links between aluminum-based antiperspirants and incidences of breast cancer.

If you have further questions about breast cancer, talk to your family doctor or visit Nationalbreastcancer.org.

the Vista gunfight “unnerving” a week ago. It was easy to understand why.

Shooters fired into a crowd of about two dozen as they were targeting one person, authorities said. The gunfight took place in what one officer called the heart of Columbia’s downtown, a nightlife center with dozens of restaurants and shops. The eight victims were wounded just two blocks from the S.C. Statehouse, three blocks from the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center and four blocks from the edge of the USC campus.

The senseless mass shootings seen in larger cities have arrived

into a crowd in front of Empire Supper Club from two separate cars. Jarvis Tucker was charged as an accessory on accusations that he was driving one of the cars. Maleik Houseal is accused of firing back at the vehicles after being shot.

Lott said the Newberry men, aged between 22 and 28, like many others from counties around the Midlands, were regulars at Columbia-area clubs on weekends.

“Where else are they going to go? The club scene is in Columbia,” Lott said. “Look at the number of people, and look at the number of clubs.”

INNOVATION OPEN DIVISION

“Everyone on the street knows these clubs,” said Lott, who estimated fewer than 10 would make his countywide list of trouble spots.

Benjamin said he may introduce new ordinances requiring off-duty officers to provide security at clubs and denying clubs an exemption to stay open past the city-mandated closing time of 2 a.m.

Police padlocked the Empire Supper Club hours after last week’s shooting. Trying to reopen, Sellers said club owner Joe Stovall proposed moving up closing time to 1 a.m. and adding more security guards.

Sour notes

The Columbia shootout put a spotlight on the Midlands hiphop scene.

Before allegedly shooting up a crowd outside the Vista club, Bates’ rapping career appeared to be taking off.

Hun Dunn, Bates’ rap moniker, is “riding a buzz that few independent MC’s could only dream of,” boasts the website of Five Star Empire, his Columbiabased record label.

“With a highly checkered past that included being ‘incarcerated’ nearly 20 times firmly behind him ... the former big time trapper is set to become the

weapons charges.

Before he was Hun Dunn, Bates had a criminal record dating back to 2006 and has previously faced such charges as attempted murder and weapons offenses, according to the State Law Enforcement Division. Bates was let go after a parole violation hearing the day before the shooting, multiple news outlets reported.

“I would love, love more tools to keep violent offenders off the street,” Benjamin said.” “We have got too many guns on the street — and this is coming from a gun owner.”

Gunfights, like the one in the

that that happened in general, and it’s unfortunate that it’s being connected to hip-hop music,” said Darius Johnson, who is known in the downtown music circuit as “Fat Rat Da Czar.”

Johnson, who organizes an annual family-friendly hiphop festival, said he had never heard of Hun Dunn before the shooting.

“I can’t imagine anyone with a promising career in any genre or any realm (being) a part of something like that,” he said.

“If anything, it’s our job to take responsibility for how the (hiphop) culture moves ... (but) in this case, it’s not the culture.”

visas from nations that won’t take deportees

injured at embassy in Cuba

BY MATTHEW LEE and JILL COLVIN Associated Press

At least 16 Americans associated with the U.S. Embassy in Cuba suffered damage such as hearing loss while serving in Havana, the State Department said on Thursday.

The figure is the first accounting of the scope of what the U.S. government suspects was a deliberate targeting of American diplomats. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has confirmed that Americans serving in Havana began having symptoms that were at first unexplained but

Judge’s Comments: Great series. Love the quotes.

WA SH I NGTON — T he Tr u mp ad minist rat ion is poised to impose visa restrictions on four Asian and African nations refusing to take back their citizens who’ve b e en de p or te d f rom t he United States, officials said Thursday.

The officials said Cambodia, Eritrea, Guinea and Sierra Leone would soon be subject to sanctions. They’re meant to coax “recalcitrant” countries into accepting the return of individuals the U.S. tries to remove. Under federal law, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson can stop all or specific types of visas from being issued to such nations.

Tillerson isn’t likely to ban all visas, the officials said. Rather, he would target government officials and their families, as the U.S. has done previously. The officials were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity. They wouldn’t say when Tillerson would act.

The Homeland Security Department said Wednesday it had recommended the State Department take action against four nations out of a dozen it considers recalcitrant. The agency didn’t name the countries.

Asked for comment, the State Department confirmed it received the Homeland Security Department’s notification. It also wouldn’t identify the nations by name, saying only that each one has “refused to accept or unreasonably delayed the return of its nationals.” It will make public the exact penalties after affected governments are informed.

“Our goal is to get countries to agree to accept the return of their nationals,” DHS spokesman Dave Lapan told reporters.

The State Department has been traditionally reluctant to impose visa sanctions because affected countries often retaliate through reciprocal restrictions on U.S. citizens and officials. The measures have only been imposed twice before, against Guyana and The Gambia.

DHS currently identifies China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, Iran, Guinea, Cambodia, Eritrea, Burma, Morocco, Hong Kong and South Sudan as being recalcitrant in accepting deportees from the U.S. It was not immediately clear why only Cambodia, Eritrea and Guinea were selected for the sanctions or why Sierra Leone, which was last identified as “at risk” for recalcitrance, was included.

At least 16 Americans associated with the U.S. Embassy in Havana suffered symptoms from attacks on their health that have still not been explained, the United States said Thursday.

were later found to be related.

The Americans based in Cuba started reporting having problems late last year, at the end of the Obama administration, and the problems have continued into the first months of the Trump administration. Initially, five Americans were reported to have been injured, as well as at least one Canadian diplomat.

But the cause remains a mystery.

The State Department suspects that they may have fallen victim to some sort of “acoustic attack,” though the exact origin is still being investigated by the State Department and the FBI.

The Cuban government, which has denied having anything to do with targeting diplomats, is cooperating with the U.S. investigation, officials said.

CBS News reported this week that it had examined medical records of some of the affected diplomats. Doctors examining them diagnosed brain injuries that led to complaints of nausea, hearing loss, headaches and balance loss.

A State Department spokeswoman said Thursday that the affected Americans in Havana had been treated by physicians in the United States and in Cuba.

Angie Jackson BREAKING NEWS/QUICK RESPONSE REPORTER Journalist since 2013

The other side

Breaking news can be a fire, a hurricane, a car accident or a serious crime. As a member of the Quick Response team, Angie Jackson tries to convey the human aspect of each story, going beyond the incident reports and stereotypes. “For me it’s an opportunity to tell those stories behind just the crime aspect. And it’s important to tell those stories. Crime affects more people than just the victims and the perpetrators. It affects the whole community ... moms and grandmas and kids, the list goes on.” The Post and Courier often stays with the story after the news breaks, providing the kind of nuance and context readers can’t find elsewhere. “We care about the in-depth stories ... going deeper than just the ‘Day One’ coverage.”

That puts us at the front of the line in changes to my neighborhood and makes us look especially good, especially to those who want to profit.”

Linda Davis, of Goldman Street, said the black community “is being forgotten.”

“Don’t come into our neighborhoods and take what we have, because this is all we have,” Davis said.

“We’re proud to say we’re residents of Clemson, S.C., and we will not leave.”

People live in Clemson?’

They really do. It’s not just a university — it is a neighborhood, and everybody’s grown up here.”

Dorothea Jones of Banks Street recalled growing up in Clemson and lamented the impact construction has had on her neighborhood.

“Where I live, it’s up on a hill, and we’ve been pushed up a hill,” Jones said. “Down below me used to belong to all the black folk. All of that used to be our playing ground, with woods and everything.

Down there where the motels and all are on (U.S. Highway 123), black people used to own that, and it’s all gone, and we’re back up on this hill. I don’t have any place else to go — I can’t afford to go to Clemson Downs or someplace like that. If I get pushed out of Clemson, I don’t know where else I’ll go.”

“There’s no place for us to go, so we do feel like we’re being pushed out of the city and have no other way to build because there’s no housing here.”
