Lake Murray Fishing Report
L
In catfish news, Captain William Attaway (803-9240857) reports that the bite is still good anchoring in about 40 feet of water. Cut bream and herring are both working well. As the water heats up fish should move shallower, but that still hasn’t really happened.
ake Murray water levels are at 358.11 (full pool is 360.00). Surface temperatures continue to range from the mid to low-60s.
It’s a really good striped bass bite on Lake Murray, and Captain Brad Taylor (803331-1354) reports that there are a couple of main patterns. First, the cut bait fishing is good in about 18-20 feet around points and ridges. The fishing has been best just off the main lake or river channel. Second, there is a good free line/ planer board bite. For now the best fishing has been in the backs of creeks, but that is likely to change from day-to-day. Early in the morning you can catch some fish off points, a bite which should get better and better as the herring spawn heats up (more information below). There is also some occasional schooling activity, mainly in areas with bait. Honestly the largemouth bass fishing has been pretty tough this spring on Lake Murray, which can be seen from participation and weights at local tournaments. Top teams like veteran tournament angler Captain Doug Lown, spring CATT points champion with partner Rhett Manus as well as winner of the CATT spring final have had to resort to bed fishing. The 26-pluspound bag that they won the final was composed of fish they were looking at. For a few weeks now there have been herring around the points, but as recently as this week they weren’t really spawning yet. However, that all began to change
yesterday when Doug believes the herring spawn began. There were a ton of striper up with the herring, and they also caught some individual bass, but the bass hadn’t really moved up in great numbers yet. Now that the herring spawn is firing up it’s either going to happen now – or not happen this spring. Anglers should look to throw traditional lures like Spooks, Gunfish, and flukes as well as Carolina rigs and jigs around areas where thee bait is up. Crappie are in an inbetween period right now, and Captain Brad reports that they have finished the spawn and now some fish are being caught trolling in 10-12 feet of water near deep water around the last ledge before the channel. There are also fish being caught around deeper docks casting jigs. One might guess that the next stage as water temperatures warm would be for fish to pull out to deeper water, but actually the next step will be for crappie to pull back up shallow and gorge on spawning threadfin shad. When temperatures hit the mid-70s then they, as well as the bait, will retreat back to deeper water.

EDITOR'S NOTE: DVDs reviewed in this column are available in stores the week of May 7, 2018
Picks of the week “Fifty Shades Freed” (R) -- Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) has made an honest woman of Anastasia Steele (Dakota Fanning), and they settle into married bliss, which is not necessarily a paradise of perfection. Threats lurk. Insecurities arise. Jealousy strikes. Despite their billions of dollars and their charmed, exacting existence, the Greys have dangers to deal with that have nothing to do with handcuffs or whips. Even Christian cannot exert control over the past, which has its own punishment to mete out. If you tolerated the pain of the first two films, this is much the same. If you just don’t have the time to invest in this culmination of a masterpiece trilogy (and who would blame you), here it is in capsule form: big wedding, sexy time, material delights, danger, sexy time, turmoil, danger, sexy time, the end. “Batman Ninja” (PG-13) -- Fans of anime and comic
heroes and villains will delight in “Batman Ninja,” a stunningly drawn extension of the DC hero universe. Batman is transported back in time to feudal Japan, where it is revealed that the Joker and other villains -Harley Quinn, Two-Face, the Penguin, Poison Ivy, etc. -are battling it out to rewrite history with themselves at the center. Batman must rebuild (without the technological delights of his home base) as a warrior ninja. He will fight alongside Catwoman, Robin and other allies to break the criminals’ hold on history and bring themselves home to Gotham. The DVD set includes both the Japanese version and the rewritten American version, which is slightly different. “Human Flow (NR) -Filmed by Ai Weiwei in 23 different countries, this Netflix original demonstrates the breadth and diversity of people who have been displaced from their homes by war, famine, instability and other unlivable conditions in the course of a year. A mother leaves her home to wander with her children through unfamiliar lands; others board a ship crossing treacherous waters only to
arrive at an uncertain shore where, at best, more adversity is expected. This film does not pretend to be unbiased. It comes down hard on the side of opening our eyes to what is happening right now to our fellow man. It’s haunting to watch, but a necessary view for those of us sitting in the good seats. “Paradox” (NR) -- Director Wilson Yip (of “Ip Man” fame) brings his brand of deadly choreographed fighting to “Paradox,” starring Louis Koo as Lee, a Hong Kong cop whose daughter, Chi (Hanna Chan), goes missing while on vacation. Lee sets out to find her in the gritty underbelly of Thailand. There, he is assisted in his search by his Thai counterpart Tak, played by Tony Jaa, and the two must weave through a web of corruption and intrigue to rescue the innocent girl.

Special to the Chronicle
Chapin Middle has been the man behind the success of the Chapin High girls’ softball program. In an impressive feat, Jolley has been named Region Coach of the Year in all 10 of his seasons. “It’s not about me. It means that I have had some great teams,” Jolley said. “I try to get them prepared as possible. The consistency has been there. These girls come out here and perform.” One of them is senior Molly Burns who has played the past five years for Jolley. She says it’s a very emotional time not only because of her time on the field coming to an end, but also the coach she’s learned so much from. “Coach has been hard on me and I am thankful for that because it has not only helped me in the game of softball, but also in life,” Burns said. “This sport is such a good life lesson. Coach Jolley has been such a great leader and I’m going to miss him and this team so much.” Jolley will miss it just as much. “I broke down after practice one night,” Jolley said

brother’s death in the raid. Like John Kennedy, whose older brother Joe was the rising family star, Bibi’s older brother was the one picked for future greatness. What is less known is that Bibi was a member of Sayeret Matkal, or “the Unit,” which conducted the raid. He was denied the chance to go as it was Israeli policy that no two brothers be risked in a single operation.
brother Iddo, in his book, “Entebbe: A Defining Moment in the War on Terrorism,” described a decisive moment. The personal assurance of Yoni led Defense Minister Shimon Peres on Friday of the fateful week of the raid to go with it. “’My impression was one of exactitude and imagination,” Peres said. “Yoni’s complete self-confidence had a strong influence.” Peres’s 45-minute meeting The military option with Yoni fortified his belief Who persuaded Prime in a military option, which Minister Yitzhak Rabin to fa- he recommended to the vor the military option?

tion for the rescue was given a lift from an unexpected source – one hostage who had been released. She also had a connection to an Israeli military hero almost 40 years later. Ninette Morenu was released by the Entebbe hijackers June 29, 1976, due to her non-Jewish sounding name. Her keen powers of observation enabled her to help the commandoes construct a detailed diagram of the layout of the terminal. In the Second Lebanon War 30 years later, Emmanuel Morenu, Ninette’s grandson and a member of Sayeret Matkal – the commandoes who rescued the hostages – was killed. The Times of Israel quoted a Mossad source describing the grandson as “one of the best officers in the history of Sayeret Matkal.” The flight was so bumpy it sickened the soldiers. One was so weak he had to stay behind and was replaced by Amos Goren. Yoni brought Amos up to speed on the plan by sketching the terminal on the back of an airsickness bag, now part of the Rabin Center exhibit. Next: Answers to little known questions about the daring hostage rescue.

Father Raymond Carlo, Pastor of Corpus Christi Roman Catholic Church, Friar Bortolino Maistrello from the Pontifical Basilica in Padua, Italy, Rick Swain, Richard Freeman, Bob Peterson, Faithful Navigator, Craig Viers, John Wankowski, Terry Bryant
F
ather Raymond Carlo of Corpus Christi Catholic Church recently played a big role in getting relics of Saint Anthony of Padua brought to Lexington and 13 other churches in the Diocese of Charleston. It started with a conversation in Publix with Tom Muscatello, a member of Corpus Christi. As it turned out, Tom had a ministry with a branch of the Catholic Orders of Friars that was founded by St. Francis of Assisi in Padua Italy. The order, under Father Mario Conte makes all decisions about Holy relic tours in the English-speaking world. Father Ray expressed a very strong interest in having one here. Next day, Tom called Padua and got permission for Friar Bortolino Maiestrello to bring 2 reliquaries to Corpus Christi in Lexington. They al-
so received permission to tour throughout the state of SC from April 6-15. In all, 8-10 thousand people from 13 Parishes of the Diocese of Charleston saw the Relics. The tour ended at Corpus Christi where Fr. Ray celebrated 3 masses with beautiful liturgical music, inspiring, uplifting sermons and with veneration of the relics from 8 a.m. – 7 p.m. That means that parishioners were able to view and touch the relequeries that contained the holy relics.
It was a day of awe-inspiring devotion, praise, reverence and worship, which left an indelible mark on the faithful of Corpus Christi for years to come. Not only that, but the tour sparked a tremendous spirit of volunteerism in honor of St. Anthony. Friar Bortolino, who had never visited the states, returned to Europe with a sense of faith in America, Southern hospitality, love of God and country and respect for all religious denominations. He called Lexington a very delightful town with lovely churches, peaceful countryside and a lot of praise for God.

Savannah River just below Lake Hartwell. You can see this old steel truss bridge jutting just over the state line into South Carolina. The authorities spared it. As I wrote in my back roads book, South Carolina Country Roads: “Neither you nor I will ever cross that bridge again. Its South Carolina terminus has been cut away. It hangs over the river, a dropping off point if ever there were one. A wide concrete bridge, which seems to be the trend, now, has replaced it. Barriers prevent you from driving onto the old bridge. Drive across this bridge and you essentially walk the plank with a plunge into the Savannah River your fate.” Beside it runs one the new spans that quite simply lacks character. Think of a parking lot. We lost our covered bridges long ago. Now we’re losing the old steel truss bridges. Sure, they are narrow and creaky but that’s a blessing. Build a wider bridge and man can get his big trucks into places like undisturbed islands. Let those big trucks in and watch how things change, and not always for the better. A few photographs say more than I can about the need to leave some old bridges standing. Let them watch their new counterparts shoulder man’s burdens. Hang onto a bit of the past; hang on to the beauty of old bridges.
These houses of worship invite you to attend this week.

3 kids born on 3 continents BY LARRY MOSHELL Special to the Chronicle
D
evonshire is a county near the southern tip of England. Its coastal resort with sandy beaches and majestic cliffs is called the English Riviera. Some of literature’s most famous authors, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, and Thomas Hardy, were inspired by to its rolling hills, tranquil moors, country estates and quaint village cottages. Devon-born Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle used local settings for their famous detective sleuth tales including Doyle’s “Hound of the Baskervilles”. So why would Matthew and Isabel Williams, known as “ Matt and Isy” by their friends, consider leaving such an intriguing homeland and wind up in South Carolina? Three clues 1. Isy’s dream of traveling abroad. 2. Matt’s desire to settle down in a Christian ministry. 3. A skateboard. In growing up, Matt and his buddies loved to surf and skateboard.
Cayce Public Safety Capt. is Officer of the Month
The father of one of his friend’s knew a lead pastor at Victory Gap Year, a Bible college in Jeffrey’s Bay, South Africa. The town was home to a world famous surf break. Years after Matt and Isy were married, they went off in search of their hearts’ desires. After seven years of schooling and ministry in South Africa, an option opened for them in the United States. Matt’s uncle, Denis Yeo, invited them to manage and operate his family-oriented business, the Riverside Golf & Recreation Center, on the banks of the Broad River. Great. More world travel and an opportunity to serve for these two adventure seekers. Now this international traveling family has three sons born in three different countries on three different continents. Matt’s new labor of love resulted in almost singlehandedly clearing out the foliage along the river and upgrading the golf driving range and 9-hole, par 3 course. He then added kayaks and paddleboards with

Thank You to the Providence Team for Make sure your baby is safe sleeping Making Communities Healthier by Extending Christ’s Healing Ministry. Special to the Chronicle
The death of a child is one of the most heartwrenching losses one can experience. The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) wants parents to know there are many ways to lower your baby’s risk of death during sleep while giving them the best care possible. In South Carolina, six infants die each month from unsafe sleep. Babies are at risk of sleeprelated deaths until they are a year old, and most deaths occur when babies are between 1 and 4 months of age. There are about 3,500 sleep-related deaths among US babies each year. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 22 percent of mothers reported not placing their baby on their back to sleep, as recommended. Additionally, about 39 percent of moth-
ers reported using soft bedding (not recommended) when placing babies to sleep.
crib is bare. Remove all pillows, blankets soft toys, or bumpers.
It’s important for parents and all caregivers to know and share the ABCs of safe sleep. Simple, consistent actions can make a big difference in keeping your baby safe. ALONE- Babies should sleep alone in their own safe sleep space such as a crib or bassinet with a firm, flat mattress. For the first year of life, baby should have a separate safe sleep space in the parent’s room. BACK- Always put your baby to sleep on his or her back, both for naps and at night. Placing babies on their backs to sleep is one of the most important ways to prevent SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome). CRIB- Make sure that the crib or bassinet you’re using is safety approved by the Consumer Products Safety Commission and that the
not meet current safety standards. Do not use altered cribs: Cribs that are broken or modified, or that have gaps larger than two fingers between the sides of the crib and mattress can be dangerous. Keep sleeping space away from cords: Do not place a crib or bassinet near a window with blinds or curtain cords. Babies can strangle on these items. Set a timer: When feeding your baby, set an alarm or timer on your phone to ensure you stay awake. Avoid smoke exposure during pregnancy and after birth. Be sure that baby has all immunizations recommended by his or her physician. You can learn more at https://www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns/safesleep/

Kids Day 2018 The 18th annual Kids Day of Lexington was Saturday, April 28 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. in Virginia Hylton Park. Thousands of children and their parents attended. Over 28 businesses sponsored the event. Entertainment was provided by band students from River Bluff High School and a Blue Grass Band from Ben Lippen School. The Lexington County Sheriff’s Department had several stations at Kids Day with educational materials and displays for the chil-
dren. Children quickly moved from one station to another to get free school supplies, hats, and toys from the vendors. Across the street at the new Icehouse Amphitheater several dance studios provided entertainment along with other acts. As the day grew warmer children and adults took advantage of the free ice-cold water that was provided throughout the park. ALL PHOTOS BY VAL AUGUSTINE

Two statues In a city park stood two statues, one female and the other male. These two statues faced each other for many years. Early one morning an angel appeared before the statues and said, “Since the two of you have been exemplary statues and have brought enjoyment to many people, I am giving you your greatest wish. I hereby give you the gift of life. You have 30 minutes to do whatever you desire.” And with that command, the statues came to life. The two statues smiled at each other, ran toward some nearby woods and dove behind a couple of bushes. The angel smiled to himself as he listened to the two statues giggling, bushes rustling and twigs snapping. After 15 minutes, the two statues emerged from the bushes, satisfied and smiling.
