that the first really good wave of spawning fish will come up shallow soon. In catfish news, Captain William Attaway (803-924-0857) reports that the bite is improving and the fish have been biting well in about 40 feet of water on Murray. He is catching them anchored and using cut bream for bait. Especially with warming water temperatures, it is also that time when bank beaters can have a ball bass fishing on Lake Murray. Weights in recent tournaments attest that catching a bunch of 2-3 pounders is very possible right now, and even with cooler temperatures the last couple of weeks a bunch of fish can be found shallow in and around spawning pockets.
Club aids Paw Park Special to the Chronicle
The Lexington SERTOMA Club has raised money for two 16 x 20 Lexington Paw Park shelters. The three-acre park originally opened in April 2014 and 258 registered dogs and their owners use it. On hearing that shelters were being built, park member Michelle French wrote the club. She relies on a motorized scooter to get around. She said she was excited to hear the news of the shelters being built as she has been caught at the park with nowhere to get out of the rain. The Lexington SERTOMA Club focuses on serving people with speech and hearing disabilities as well as other community needs.

There are some really good days pulling freelines and planer boards, but you have to hunt for the fish and the action can be pretty hit-or-miss.

On the crappie front, Brad reports that anglers are catching plenty of fish trolling and tightlining, especially if they are willing to cover a lot of water and hunt. However, this is also the period when you can go shallow with a jigging pole and a cork and catch fish. Brad predicts

A small group of softball players first played together three years ago.

The Lexington County Lady Blowfish is the more. They are a travel softball club. Grades, character and stewardship are the Lady Blowfish building blocks and now they are showing it even…MORE.

ost of us don’t think that one day we’ll wake up and our lives will be completely different. We often take the simple gift of getting out of bed for granted. Adam Bacon knows all too well how life can change in an instant. In 2014, Adam was working for The Lexington County Fire Department, enjoying life as a husband and father. His life changed forever Oct. 30. A jujitsu sparring move went wrong and resulted in 2 broken vertebrae. Adam was paralyzed from the chest down. After three years of healing and the unwavering support of his wife and family, Adam regained some movement in his arms and hands. Adam doesn’t let his injuries define him, but there are challenges that come with paralysis. That’s where Gibbs comes in. Gibbs is a trained service dog from Animal Farm Foundation, a non-profit based in upstate New York. The foundation rescues dogs from shelters all over the country and trains them as service and detection animals. They give a second chance to “pit bulls” and other mixedbreed dogs. The normal cost for training a service or detection dog is up to $20,000. The foundation donates all their service dogs for free.

initials, “JMP,” into the tree. Seeing those initials meant more than you can imagine. You see, Dad died back in 2003. Come this November 15, it will have been fifteen years since he left us. As far as I’m concerned this birch with his initials (and my niece’s) amounts to a monument. My dad’s clothes are gone, many of his tools are too, and his house is nothing like the comfortable place he called home. Much of what he left as reminders of his time here just doesn’t exist anymore. Aunt Vivian once said that just before a funeral God sends a storm to wash away the departed’s footprints. Initials carved in a birch, however, endure, and seeing them brought my father to life again, if only for a moment. Yes, he succumbed to the temptation to leave his mark, but I’m glad he did. As I studied his work, I stood where he had stood, where storms long ago washed away his footprints. For that brief moment, a tree connected Dad and me one more time.

Returned to office a few minutes later, wearing a hairpiece.” 4. “Applicant asked to see interviewer’s resume to see if the personnel executive was qualified to judge the candidate.” 5. “Applicant announced she hadn’t had lunch and proceeded to eat a hamburger and french fries in the interviewer’s office wiping the ketchup on her sleeve.” 6. “Stated that, if he were hired, he would demonstrate his loyalty by having the corporate logo tattooed on his forearm.” 7. “Interrupted to phone his therapist for advice on answering specific interview questions.” 8. “When I asked him about his hobbies, he stood up and started tap dancing around my office.” 9. “At the end of the interview, while I stood there dumbstruck, he went through my purse, took out a brush, brushed his hair, and left.” 10. “Applicant pulled out a Polaroid camera and

snapped a flash picture of me. Said he collected photos of everyone who interviewed him.” 11. “Said he wasn’t interested because the position paid too much.” 12. “During the interview, an alarm clock went off from the candidate’s briefcase. He took it out, shut it off, apologized and said he had to leave for another interview.” 13. “A telephone call came in for the job applicant. It was from his wife. His side of the conversation went like this: “Which company? When do I start? What’s the salary?” I said, “I assume you’re not interested in conducting the interview any farther.” ICU nightmare In a hospital’s Intensive Care Unit, patients always died in the same bed, on Sunday morning, at about 1:00 a.m., regardless of their medical condition. This puzzled the doctors and some even thought it had something to do with the supernatural. No one could solve the mystery as to why the deaths occurred around 1:00 a.m. on Sunday, so a worldwide team of experts was assembled to investigate the cause of the incidents. The next Sunday morning, a few minutes before 1:00 a.m., all of the doctors and nurses nervously waited outside the ward to see for themselves what the terrible phenomenon was all about. Some were holding wooden crosses, prayer books,
and other holy objects to ward off the evil spirits. Just when the clock struck 1:00, the part-time Sunday janitor, entered the ward and unplugged the life support system so he could use the vacuum cleaner. Get in the car One day a 12-year-old boy was walking down the street when a car pulled up beside him and the driver lowered a window. “I’ll give you a large bag of M&Ms if you get in the car,” said the driver. “No way! Get lost!” replied the boy. “How about a bag of M&Ms and 10 dollars?” the driver asked. “I said no way,” replied the boy. “What about a bag of M&Ms and 50 dollars?” asked the driver. “No, I’m not getting in the car,” answered the boy. “Okay, I’ll give you a bag of M&Ms and 100 dollars,” the driver offered. “No!” replied the boy. “What will it take to get you in the car?” asked the driver. The boy replied: “Listen, Dad: You bought the station wagon – you deal with it!” Weather Predictions A film crew was on location deep in the desert. One day an elderly Native American man went up to the director and said, “Tomorrow, rain.” The next day it rained. A week later, he again went up to the director and said, “Tomorrow, storm.” The next day there was
a hailstorm. “This guy is incredible,” said the director. He told his secretary to hire the man to predict the weather for the remainder of the shoot. However, after several successful predictions, the old man didn’t show up for two weeks. Finally the director sent for him. “I have to shoot a big scene tomorrow,” said the director, “and I’m depending on you. What will the weather be like?” The old man shrugged his shoulders. “Don’t know,” he said. “My radio is broken.” Great Benefits A woman, searching for a job, inquired about the benefits. The Personnel Manager informed her they had group health and life insurance, but the costs were deducted from the employee’s pay. She said, “My last employ-
er had full health coverage, as well as five years salary for life insurance and a month’s sick leave AND they paid the full premiums.” “I can’t help but asking madam why you would leave a job with such benefits,” the interviewer replied. The woman shrugged her shoulders and said, “The company went bankrupt.” He sent me A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had recently completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. One of the courses had a professor who was an avowed atheist and a member of the ACLU. One day the professor shocked the class when he came in: He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, “God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I’ll give you exactly 15 minutes.” The lecture room fell si-
lent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, “Here I am God. I’m still waiting.” It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him, knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold. The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently. The other students were shocked, stunned, and sat there looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, “What is the matter with you? Why did you do that?” The Marine calmly replied, “God was too busy today protecting American soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and act like an idiot. So, He sent me.”

Crazy for Calzones BY ANGELA SHELF MEDEARIS PHOTO CREDIT: DEPOSITPHOTOS
A
merica has had a love affair with Italian food for decades. The word calzone translates as “pant leg” or “trouser.” The original calzoni (plural of calzone) that were created in 18th-century Naples, Italy, were probably much smaller than ones served today in American restaurants. The Italian calzone’s halfmoon shape indicates that they were probably made with a single, small round pizza crust that was filled with toppings, folded over, sealed and then baked. Italian calzones often were sold by street vendors and designed to be a portable, walk-around pizza that could be eaten without utensils. Traditional ingredients include salted bread dough, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan or pecorino cheeses, and ham or salami; however, variations appear from region to region in Italy. When baked correctly, the calzone’s outer crust is golden-brown and crispy, while the inside filling melts into a flavorful blend of ricotta and mozzarella cheeses combined with an assortment of Italian meats and vegetables. After baking, calzones usually are sprinkled with a blend of garlic, olive oil and parsley, and served with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. Calzones sometimes are confused with other Italian creations like panzzarotti, or stromboli. A panzzarotti resembles a small calzone and is stuffed with a combination of tomatoes and mozzarella, then fried. The stromboli is an American invention that was created in the 1950s. It usually is filled with a blend of Italian cheeses, Italian meats and a tomato-based marinara sauce that are layered on a sheet of pizza dough, which is then rolled up into a rectangle. The stromboli is either finished in the oven or deep-fried. Modern calzones grew in popularity after a reference in the TV series “Seinfeld” in 1996, and more recently, in the hit series “Parks and Recreation” in 2014. It’s no surprise that television has had a large part in spreading the crazy demand for calzones. It’s the perfect crispy, cheesy, hand-held snack to enjoy while watching your favorite show! MEDITERRANEAN CALZONES I love this Mediterraneanflavored, vegetarian version of the traditional Italian calzone. You can buy refrigerated pizza dough at a grocery store or purchase it from your favorite pizza delivery store.

How to get the fat off - forever
2002, the Lexington Medical Center Heart and Sole Women’s Five Miler is South Carolina’s first women-only road race. It has grown from fewer than 400 female participants in its first year to more than 1,300 today. The growth of Columbia’s Soda City Market on Main Street has made the downtown area on Saturday mornings busier than ever before. As a result, the course will now go down Marion Street, incorporate historic sections of the city and eliminate the Gervais Street hill. These changes will create a flatter, faster course. Additionally, the race will begin 30 minutes earlier than previous years. For more information, including a course map, packet pick-up, race day and awards information, and to register, visit HeartAndSolerun.com or HeartAndSoleWalk.com.

n my last article, I was about a week into my 21Day Detox Challenge. I was eliminating sugar, grains and dairy from my diet. I’ve since completed the challenge, feel better, got leaner and reset my “normal” again. As a trainer and a coach, I talk with folks all the time about working on changing their “normal.” If you change how you eat long enough to drop some pounds before you slip back into eating as you always have, it’s only a matter of time before the pounds creep back on. Your “normal” is what got you the extra pounds in the first place. This “yo-yo dieting” wreaks havoc on your metabolism. A healthier and longerterm approach to weight loss and wellness involves first changing your mind about how you eat. This requires patience. Making incremental improvements by eating with the intent of fueling your body with nutrient dense foods helps you make lasting changes to keep the extra fat off for good. So how do you change your mind about how you eat? It starts with educating yourself about the nutritional content of your food. One quick and easy way you might try would be to use an online app such as
myfitnesspal. It allows you to log your food and see the nutritional content and calories that you consume each day. You get a daily budget for calories, sugar, protein, fat, etc. It is interesting to see how your choices add up each day. Logging and measuring what you eat helps you make better choices. That candy bar you were thinking about eating contains more than half the daily recommended amount of sugar and twice the calories of a cup of carrots and some guacamole. And they will keep your
hunger satisfied longer. It helps you begin to evaluate your food choices rather than mindlessly put sugary stuff into your mouth without any thought of the consequences. In our instant gratification society, we’ve become accustomed to immediate satisfaction. The hard truth about long-term fat loss and wellbeing is that it generally happens slowly and steadily. If you’re promised a program with quick and massive results that sound too good to be true, it probably is.

AHS Student Council receives national award Special to the Chronicle
The honors just keep coming for Airport High School’s Student Council. For its exemplary record of leadership, service and activities that aim to improve the school and community, the Lexington 2 school’s student council has been recognized as a 2018 National Gold Council of Excellence by the National Student Council. It’s the second year Airport High’s Student Council has received the award. Among requirements of a National Council of Excellence Award, a council must have demonstrated successful sponsorship and participation in activities such as leadership development and service to the school and community. Councils like Airport’s, which are awarded at the gold level, have

successfully demonstrated the highest levels of leadership. The council recently wrapped up its annual Camp Kemo fundraiser, bringing in more than $56,000. “The student leaders at Airport High School strive to
meet the ELITE standard of leadership every day in and out of our building,” said Daniel Bailey, student activities director. “They can often be seen getting feedback from students, handing out surveys, writing shout-outs or organizing our annual
charity drive. “Having students so focused on our school, and the future of our school, gives me so much hope for our school and years beyond,” Bailey added. “I am so proud to work with these students every day. … I am
always proud to be an Eagle, but days like today make that title even better.” The latest recognition comes on the heels of several honors Airport High received during the recent state convention of the SC Association of Student
Councils. The council received gold recognition for a second year for its leadership work, the highest recognition at the state level. Junior Trace Wingard also was elected District 3 chairman.
