Lake Murray Fishing Report
L
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 (803-3311354) 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 the 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.

Walgreens offers safe Irmo High softball improvements underway disposal for unused meds By Elyssa Vondra elyssavondra@gmail.com
Lexington-Richland District Five officials say they are upgrading the Irmo High girls softball facilities. Despite accusations, district officials say they are delivering on their promises to comply with federal Title 9. One source said in an email to the Chronicle that after Title 9 Director Dr. Alison Jacques learned of violations with the softball batting cages, the district began improvements. “Students and parents were promised by Dr. Jacques, Dr. Hefner the Superintendent, and many others that the batting cage that they were building for the softball players would be completed by March 5 and ready for us to use before
the softball season started, “As of today, the batting cage is about 50% done, and no one has been working on it for weeks now,” the source wrote. District Five communications director Katrina Goggins said Title 9 was not proven to be violated and denied the school failed to deliver on its promises. Goggins claimed the district conducted a study of methods to improve gender equality in sports and concluded that better softball batting cages would be a noteworthy step. The district is proceeding as planned “on schedule,” she said.

Walgreens is offering year-round medication disposal at 20 safe disposal kiosks in select Walgreens throughout the state. The expansion is part of an effort to combat the national opioid abuse crisis by increasing the availability of safe medication disposal around the country. South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson joined representatives Thursday at a Columbia Walgreens to mark the expansion effort. “South Carolina has one of the top-10 highest opioid prescription rates in the nation, and we know that a lot of those medications end up in the wrong hands after being taken out of parents’ and grandparents’ medicine cabinets,” Wilson said. “Having these safe medication disposal sites will go a long way in preventing a lot of the problems we’ve been seeing in this opioid epidemic.” Safe medication disposal kiosks allow individuals to safely and conveniently dispose of their unwanted, unused or expired prescriptions, at no cost. The kiosks at Walgreens pharmacies are available during regular pharmacy hours and offer one of the best ways to ensure medications are not accidentally used or intentionally misused by someone else. Safe medication disposal kiosks have collected more than 270 tons of unwanted medications since the program began in 2016. A recent survey by Prime Therapeutics showed nearly a quarter of adults keep unused opioids.

Summer is almost upon us, and it is the season that many most anticipate. Along with the last day of school, the warm weather has a liberating effect. One of the most popular venues in the metro area is the Congaree River. When it’s hot, the river offers an opportunity to cool off. Float on an inflated tube or paddle a kayak. The natural beauty of the river, in the middle of a city, is an attraction that never

The pool is part of the Quail Hollow Swim and Racquet Club, and it’s in the Quail Hollow subdivision. “My family has been going to Quail Hollow pool for years,” said Kyle Cullum, owner of Threads Embroidery on 12th Street in West Columbia.
the “first time in 30 years that the legislature has allowed a hearing on term limits.” “The fox is guarding the henhouse,” she said. Although she favored the bill, Templeton asked lawmakers to go one step further. She said they need to ask voters for a constitutional change to make it harder for future lawmakers to reverse the law. Templeton said many candidates seek office with good intentions. But once they are entrenched, they are subjected to influence and temptations. “People get into this and they don’t want to get out.
“Once their time is over,” she said of term-limited politicians, “they need to head back into the community they created laws for.” Templeton said term limits would be her “number one priority” as governor. Real reform won’t happen before such a change occurs, she said.

6-2) in the title series. “They were determined that they were not going to let this slip through our hands this year,” head coach April Farr said. “So they went to work at practice and worked on the mental part of the game and then came out and laid it all out on the line. They gave all heart and it paid off. “That Ashley Ridge loss (4-1 on May 7) snapped a 13-game winning streak and gave us our first loss at home. I just reminded them of that and I said, ‘Hey guys, after we suffered our first loss this year in a tournament (3-1 to May River at the Aiken Triple Crown Invitational), you got even more focused and you went on a 13-game win streak.

White Knoll outscored its five opponents 25-11 during the winning streak. It started with a 3-0 victory at Region 5-5A rival Lexington, followed by two dramatic wins at Ashley Ridge in the Lower State final. After winning the first game against Lady Swampfoxes 11-7, the Lady Timberwolves took the deciding game 3-1 in nine innings on Hannah Goodwin’s walkoff 2-run homer. Leading the way in the 2-game sweep of J.F. Byrnes was pitcher Andrea Lyon. After pitching all 16 innings in the two wins over Ashley Ridge, the righthander struck out nine batters, allowed just three runs and had three RBI, including two home runs against the Lady Rebels. “Andrea was a workhorse through this run and the whole year,” Farr said. “She got better every day and she was determined to get back to state this year. This kid worked hard every single
day. You would always see her working on her spins and putting in the extra effort to get better and stronger everyday. Not to mention this kid was big in our offense as well and she would be the first in the batting cages to hit and get in extra time. “I think this is the best championship effort I have ever seen out of my career of coaching. This kid was amazing all year and she set another school record with most wins in a season with 27. But if you ask her she will tell you that none of this would be possible if it

was not for the awesome defense she had behind her. It took pressure off of her when pitching because she knew they had her back.” White Knoll will lose Leaphart and Miller to graduation, but Farr is confident the returning players will be ready to “step up and continue the tradition”. “We will set our goals and then take it one step at a time to accomplish them,” Farr said. “We have great talent returning, so I have no doubt that these kids good make another good run in the playoffs.”

Sentimental Journey
ARISE makes repairs some can’t afford
I
What if this was your roof and you had no means to repair it? Many in Lexington face this and similar financial challenges every day. That’s where Lexington Baptists’ ARISE steps in.
“There was an old lady who lived in a shoe...” That may have been funny in the nursery rhyme, but it would be tragic if there was such a lady. Unfortunately, many elderly and poor in Lexington county may as well live in a shoe because their homes are not safe, dry or warm. So where does the old lady go to have her shoe - I mean house - made livable? Some have turned to the ARISE (Assist, Repair, Invest, Serve, Equip) ministry of Lexington Baptist Church. About 8 years ago LBC was shifting from working with Habit for Humanity to working on the rapidly growing number of needs
among our own flock and others in the community. Few working poor people can afford to pay someone to fix the broken back steps, repair a leaking roof, stop the kitchen faucet from spraying water everywhere, or build a wheelchair ramp for mom. ARISE does these tasks as well as cut overgrow shrub-
bery, cut grass and work on heating and air problems. Recently, they helped a woman patch a hole in her kitchen floor and got her a new AC. A team member noticed her bed frame was broken, so they got her a new one. She was so grateful that she baked a cake for the team. The ARISE team members are showing God’s love to others. The “thank you” cakes are just a perk. Do you have a ministry you want to talk about? Call me at the Chronicle - 3597633 or email me at chuck1946@hotmail.com

was making my way from Greenville to Lincolnton one Saturday afternoon. I had to take a back road, a blessing. The light was bad at 3:45 p.m., but I had to photograph this old store on Highway 25 between Ware Shoals and Greenwood. I don’t know who owns it, but I thank this kindred spirit for reminding us of days gone by. On its right side are reminders of days past, including an icon of the South: the revered RC Cola Moonpie combination, the workingman’s lunch. One ad is real but the others are painted onto the boards. Coca Cola has given us memorable images, and this pretty woman on a diving board doesn’t diminish that legacy. Red Man Chewing Tobacco, no doubt, gives politically correct, ultra-sensitive kneejerk types a jolt. Well, get over it. Move on...

‘The Patriots’ pay tribute to veterans for Memorial Day
Photos by Jim Covington
By Rachel Haynie Chronicle Correspondent
T
wo Lexington musicians bring their talent to “The Patriots,” a band with one mission: to honor our heroes – our veterans. Bruce Clark and Bob Michalski are part of this ensemble which plated two tribute concerts over Memorial Day weekend. Clark directed several Lexington-area middle and high school bands before retiring. He has twice been included in “Who’s Who of American Teachers.” He also taught Low Brass and Jazz Ensemble Improvisation at Columbia College. Bob Michalski, known in regional musical circles as The Reedman because of his versatility on sax and clarinet, also plays with The Sensational Epics band which has been inducted into the South Carolina Beach Music Hall of Fame. Michalski has played with Bob Hope, Johnny
Mathis, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, the Lettermen, the Temptations, Dizzy Gillespie, and the big bands of Guy Lombardo, Jimmy Dorsey, Glenn Miller, and Cab Calloway. The idea for creating a band dedicated to honoring veterans crystallized when Bob Hickman played for an event at a veterans’ retirement home, Victory House, in Charleston. For more than 30 years, he has been music director, saxophonist, clarinetist and vocalist for “The Moonlighters.” Hickman is a Korean War Veteran. Mrs. Hickman is an Honor Flight guardian who accompanied 9 veterans to Washington, DC. After months of planning, recruiting musicians, and choosing music, the Hickman’s long-time dream was realized when The Patriots performed their first concert for veterans earlier this spring at the Stone Veterans Pavilion in Columbia.

Some members of The Patriots band have advanced degrees in music; others have never had a lesson, but can play anything they hear. Besides playing with The Patriots, most of the musicians also play in other area bands. Clark arranges for and conducts the orchestra

The Patriots’ musical line-up ranged from rousing patriotic music, of course, then ran the gamut of swing, blues, show tunes, country, Dixieland, and rhythm and blues.

2 tablespoons semisweet or milk chocolate, grated 1. Lightly rinse the strawberries and gently place them in a colander to drain. Cut a thin slice from the stem end of each strawberry to create a base so that the berries will stand upright on the flattened end. Place the berries, cut side down, on a cutting board. Carefully cut each berry into 4 wedges, but do not cut through the bottom. Use your finger to gently press down in the center of the berry so that the wedges fan out just slightly, taking care not to break the berries apart. Set
the berries aside. 2. Using a small mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, confectioners’ sugar and almond extract until light and fluffy. Gently fold in half of the grated chocolate. Use a teaspoon, a plastic sandwich bag with a small hole cut into the end or a decorating bag with decorative tip to fill the berries with the cream-cheese mixture. Sprinkle the remaining grated chocolate over each berry. Cover and chill until ready to serve. Makes about 32 filled strawberries.

NOTICE OF FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT (FONSI) & NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS (NOI/RROF)
Date of Notice: May 31, 2018 Responsible Entity: County of Lexington 212 South Lake Drive Lexington, SC 29072 (803) 785-8121 These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by the County of Lexington.
REQUEST FOR RELEASE OF FUNDS (NOI/RROF) At least one day after the termination of the public comment period for the NOI/RROF the County of Lexington will submit a request to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the release of Community Development Block Grant funds under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended, to undertake a project known as “SC Habitat for Humanity Neighborhood Revitalization Project”. This project will bring new construction of approximately 8 new homes for low-income persons in Lexington County. The Lexington County Community Development Block Grant will provide $162,000 toward this project.
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT (FONSI) The County of Lexington has determined that the project will have no significant impact on the human environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR) on file at the Lexington County Office of Community Development, 212 South Lake Drive, Lexington, SC, and may be examined between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency disagreeing with this determination or wishing to comment on the project may submit written comments to: Lexington County Community Development Department 212 South Lake Drive, Ste. 401 Lexington, SC 29072 All comments received within 15 days from the date of this notice will be considered by the County of Lexington prior to authorizing submission of a request for release of funds. Comments should specify which notice they are addressing.
RELEASE OF FUNDS The County of Lexington certifies to HUD that Joe G. Mergo, III, in his capacity as the County Administrator, consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities, and allows the County of Lexington to use Program Funds.
OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS HUD will accept objections to its release of funds and the County of Lexington’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the County of Lexington; (b) the County of Lexington has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient has committed funds or incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58) and shall be addressed to: Bradley S. Evatt Director, CPD HUD 1835 Assembly Street Columbia, SC 29201-2480 Potential objectors should contact HUD to verify the actual last day of the objection period. Joe G. Mergo, III County Administrator 5-31
