U.S. faces many challenges abroad Retired Air Force leader shares concerns at annual Shaw banquet BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com The South Carolina Air Force Association had its annual State Convention Saturday at the Carolina Skies

Club at Shaw Air Force Base. In addition to passing out the group’s annual awards, attendees heard from retired Air Force Gen. Gary North, who is now vice president for customer requirement for Lock-

heed Martin Aeronautics Co. During his 36 years of military service, North logged more than 4,700 flight hours. He has also held several NORTH theater-level command positions, including commander, Pacific Air Forces; executive director, Pacific Air Combat Operations Staff; commander of U.S. Air

Forces Central Command from 20062009, and was Combined Forces Air Component Commander for the CENTCOM area of responsibility for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. North presented a brief assessment of the changing threats and challenges facing the Air Force today and into the foreseeable future. Budget restraints and lack of public

Sumter celebrates Earth Day at Swan Lake Annual event offers plants, education, fun BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com Saturday was the annual Earth Day Celebration at Swan Lake-Iris Gardens, and whether you need a house plant or a solar electric system, plenty of vendors were on hand to help you make lighter footprints during your journey on the planet. Hanging baskets and hydrangeas were the hot items at the Sumter Green plant sale, said volunteer Penny Pratt. “One lady bought 18 hanging baskets,” she said. “She is going to have a beautiful yard.” Helping to spread the word about the Sumter Family YMCA were Child Care Coordinator Thaddeus Stout and Healthy Living Director Daniela Bachmeier, who was spreading some not-so-healthy looking sweets on the table. Besides passing out information about memberships, swim lessons, etc., kids could try to shoot a bucket with a basketball. Did they find any future Michael Jordans? “There are two or three out there,” Stout said. Did you know there are more than a dozen elevated water tanks in the Sumter Water System? At least, that’s what Walt Beard from the Water Plants Division of the City of Sumter said. Visitors to the Earth Day event could learn how water is pumped, treated and stored for municipal use. Despite all those tanks, which can hold 4 million gallons of water, Beard said the

Local enforcement OK with disturbing schools law BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com Incidents in which school resource officers have used violent techniques to arrest and charge misbehaving students under a “disturbing schools” law have led to a barrage of criticism. Critics said the bill leads to criminalizing ordinary misbehavior, puts children on a path to prison and is applied disproportionately to black students. On Thursday, a South Carolina

House subcommittee considered a bill to change the law but took no action. Questions about the statute were raised after an incident in October when a school resource officer was videotaped yanking a Spring Valley High School student from her desk and throwing her to the floor. The officer was called to the classroom after the teen refused to stop using her cellphone and would not leave the classroom for a teacher or administrator. The then-16-year-old was charged

with disturbing schools, and the officer was fired. Third Judicial Circuit Solicitor Ernest “Chip” Finney III said he is not familiar with the proposed changes, but he knows the existing one well. “The law that we have now seems to work,” he said. Finney said there are several statutes law enforcement can use depending on the situation. “If there is more than one person fighting, we have something for that,”

Finney said. “If it’s a serious assault, we have something for that.” He said that in a case where someone is mad at the schools or a teacher and there is no physical contact, the disturbing schools law is adequate. “We have been using the law for a long time,” he said. “Our officers respond quickly and find out from the witnesses and teachers what is going on and charge appropriately.”

Canal St., to discuss expenses for the county’s 2016-17 fiscal year budget. During a previous council meeting, Sumter County Administrator Gary Mixon said $49.4 million is scheduled for expenditures and $48.2 million is scheduled for revenue, leaving a $1.2 million deficit. Council will hold its regular meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday in county council chambers to receive a home fire preparedness campaign presentation from Sumter United Ministries.

Visit farms, win prizes with passport Agritourism program challenges you to visit sites across the state BY DEANNA ANDERSON Special to The Sumter Item It seems like everybody is jumping on the passport bandwagon. South Carolina already presents the challenge of becoming an Ultimate Outsider by visiting all 47 state parks, and Sumter County offers the Sumter Passport. Now, the more agriculturally inclined can visit farms across the state and get their S.C. Agritourism Passport stamped. My family agrees that if there is a passport out there, I will find it. Having completed the Sumter County Passport and working my way to becoming an Ultimate Outsider, I was eager for another challenge and thrilled to find the Agritourism Passport at Old McCaskills Farm in Rembert. Agritourism is not a word I was familiar with before, but I have since learned that it is something perhaps we have all participated in. U-Pick farms, family events, farm tours, corn mazes and hayrides are all part of ag-

ritourism, and these events bring important awareness and revenue to the farms hosting them. The passport is an effort to make people aware of what agritourism is and the importance it holds. Several years ago, the state started cataloguing agritourism farms, but this is the first year for the passport program. Created

by the South Carolina Agritourism Board, it was designed to make the public “more aware of the Certified SC program and the fun things to do at farms,” said Director Jackie Moore. A small booklet which you can easily tuck away in a pocket or purse, the passport is free at participating locations. All you have to do is visit a farm and get its corresponding page stamped. The booklet is divided into regions and lists activities, contact information and hours of operation for each farm. Half of the farms are open year-round, and half are seasonal, making it easy to get stamps all year. Prizes are awarded based on the number of stamps collected: 10 stamps equal a Certified S.C. hat, 15 stamps a Certified S.C. T-shirt and 20 stamps a Certified S.C. tumbler. All participants, even if they only have one stamp, will be entered into a drawing to win $100 worth of S.C. Specialty Foods products. There is a time limit, however, and all stamps must be obtained by Dec. 31, with passports due Jan. 15, 2017. For more information about the S.C. Agritourism Passport and participating locations, visit www.SCfarmfun.org or www.scagritourism.org. You can reach the writer at seakla@ yahoo.com.

City will hold special called meeting Tuesday Sumter City Council will hold a special called meeting at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday in City Council Chambers, Sumter Opera House, 21 N. Main St., to discuss the city’s proposed budget for the 2016-17 fiscal year. Previously, Sumter Finance Department presented a draft budget with $60.9 million in revenues and $62.2 million in expenditures, leaving a $1.3 million deficit.

Have lunch at museum with best-selling author Monroe BY IVY MOORE ivy@theitem.com Best-selling author Mary Alice Monroe returns to Sumter County Museum on Monday, May 2, for a luncheon, reading and booksigning. She’ll be talking about her latest novel, the fourth in her Lowcountry Summer series, set on Sullivan’s Island. Monroe’s “A Lowcountry Wedding” continues the stories of Marietta “Mamaw” Muir and her three grown granddaughters, half-sisters Carson, Harper and Dora, as they simultaneously prepare for two weddings — those of Carson and Harper. Like the previous three novels in the

series, the fourth is set at Sea Breeze, the Muir family’s centuries-old plantation home on the shore. It’s a setting that has proved healing for the sisters, as well as others — along MONROE with the wisdom of Mamaw and her companion, the now-deceased Lucille. Things never go smoothly for Monroe’s characters, however, so there are conflicts on many fronts. Monroe is an environmentalist as well as a writer, and the Lowcountry and the dolphin named Delphine continue to be important to the story.

Is this the end of the Lowcountry Summer series? Those at the 11:30 a.m. luncheon will have the opportunity to ask Monroe and to inquire about her next project. They will also have the opportunity to purchase “A Lowcountry Wedding” and get it signed by the author on the day before its official release. Tickets for the event are going fast, said Annie Rivers, museum director. They are $25 for museum members and $30 for non-members; a copy of “A Lowcountry Wedding” and lunch catered by Lilfred’s are included in the charge. For reservations and more information, call the museum at (803) 775-0908 or visit the

website www.sumtercountymuseum.org. The museum is at 122 N. Washington St., across from Palmetto Health Tuomey. In connection with the new book, Monroe is also giving away a complete Lowcountry wedding to one couple. Entry requires the couple — or a parent, sibling, other relative or friend — to answer a question and make a 90-second video explaining why they want a Lowcountry wedding. The dream wedding package includes the venue, wedding gown, tuxedos, catering, honeymoon accommodations in Charleston and much more. To enter, visit http:// bit.ly/1TVfeUy.

EARTH DAY FROM PAGE A1 city only offers one flavor. Solar panels seemed to be a big thing as several booths were telling people about the great incentives homeowners can take advantage of to “go solar.” Besides ordinary houseplants, you could also buy epiphytes, plants which don’t need soil to grow, and wooden spoons with your favorite logo burnt right in to peak at you when you are scooping up potato salad. For those who do not think there is enough water in South Carolina, rain barrels were available decorated by a number of area schools. Master gardener-in-training Donna Simpson said visitors to the celebration could vote for their favorite with the winning schools getting pizza.

LAW FROM PAGE A1 Finney said proper training is important. “Training has a lot to do with making the charges and making them stick when we get to court,” he said. Rep. Mia McLeod, D-Richland, who introduced the bill to change the disturbing the schools law, said the legislation is intended to restore the disturbing schools law to its original intent — to protect students from outside agitators. School administrators and teachers, not police, should handle student discipline, she said. “I’m not sure how the law morphed into an opportunity for law enforcement to be called in to deal with typical

classroom behavior, but at some point it did,” she said. “If refusing to put your cellphone up is criminal behavior, we’d all be arrested.” Under her bill, only those who are not enrolled in a school could be charged with disturbing it. That includes suspended or expelled students who return to cause trouble. The proposal defines the behavior that can result in the charge, such as threatening physical harm, starting a fight on school grounds and entering school property without permission. It also increases maximum penalties for the misdemeanor from 90 days to one year in county jail. “Of course, our top priority is the safety of students,

teachers and administrators,” said Sumter County Sheriff Anthony Dennis. “The proposed legislation clarifies the kinds of activity that will not be tolerated on school property but would apply primarily to outsiders coming onto the school property and disturbing schools.” He stressed, however, that anyone committing a crime on school grounds could still face criminal charges. “We will not hesitate to arrest anyone who commits a crime on school grounds,” he said. “That will not change.” Sumter Police Chief Russell Roark also said his primary concern is to ensure a safe school environment for students and adults. “Our intent is to provide a

money by selling chances to win a Yeti cooler. I respectfully declined to purchase one from club member Meree McAlister. Cylisa Quarles from Sumter High School Gamecock Gardens had houseplants for sale, including flowers such as begonias and caladium,s and herbs such as basil. Quarles explained the plants are grown in a greenhouse at the school, and the gardening is done by children with special needs. Of course, it is Joshua Castleberry’s snakes that always seem to attract the most attention at the Earth Day Celebration, and Saturday was no exception. Lots of youngsters wanted to touch Castleberry’s non-poisonous corn snake, Salu, which means corn in Cherokee, he said. Inside nearby cages he had a pygmy rattler, a copperhead and an eastern diamondback safely locked behind glass. Just from the looks of things, I’d say the eastern diamondback has been eating rather well since last year. Happy birthday, Mother Nature.

positive image of law enforcement while giving students a trusting adult students can talk to,” he said. Disciplinary measures are the sole responsibility of school officials, he said, but if the evidence supports a criminal charge, officers will apply it. Aleksandra Chauhan, a public defender in Richland County, said it’s normal for teens to misbehave, and

schools must address discipline differently. “Once children come in to the criminal system, they remain in the criminal system,” she said. “Simply putting handcuffs on children’s hands has a great impact on them. We are doing a great damage to children for over criminalizing behavior.” The Associated Press contributed to this article.

Congaree National Park visits drop by 27 percent COLUMBIA (AP) — Historic flooding in October led to a steep decline in attendance at South Carolina’s only national park. Congaree National Park had about 87,000 visitors in 2015, a 27 percent drop from the year before, according to a report released this week by the National Park Service. Attendance at the park had been fairly steady at about 120,000 visitors for the past decade. The park itself suffered little damage because it floods frequently. But the trails spent weeks covered with water and as soon as they dried out, one heavy rain would bring the water up again, park spokesman Scott Teodorski said. The turbulent water also made kayak and

canoe trips harder. About 2 feet of rain fell in just more than a day near the park, damaging hundreds of homes and washing out dozens of bridges. For months, it was difficult to make it to the park because of the bridge closures and detours, Teodorski said. The decrease in visitors is a bit ironic because what makes Congaree National Park so special is that it is one of the few remaining hardwood forests in a flood plain, so being occasionally inundated with water is why the park exists, Teodorski said. “That’s what we do,” Teodorski said. “Water is the lifeblood of the park. The forest has adapted to it.” The National Park Service

runs five other sites in South Carolina. All of them saw an increase in attendance last year except for the site of one of the signers of the Constitution: Charles Pinckney’s plantation in Mount Pleasant. Attendance there declined 12 percent, according to the report.

Resistance training can help battle diabetes It is estimated by the American Diabetic Association that 89 million Americans are prediabetic. Diabetes is a serious health concern, and approximately 90 percent of individuals who are prediabetic don’t even know that they are. Left untreatMissy ed, it is estiCorrigan mated that 30 percent will develop diabetes. The good news is that prediabetes can be reversed with diet and exercise. Research is showing that exercise and dietary changes can improve symptoms or even reverse them better than just weight loss alone. While losing weight may be important to improving health, it is the steps that you take that determine whether or not your health status will improve. Unfortunately, you can lose weight but still battle diabetes. There is no certain number on the scale that determines better health. Many overweight or obese individuals do not have diabetes but many who are of normal weight, so it isn’t just about your weight. Consuming foods that are low on the glycemic index certainly can help control blood sugar, but exercise is also a key component. Traditionally, cardiovascular exercise has been the preferred method for those who are symptomatic because it burns more calories, assisting in weight loss. However, re-

cent research shows that most individuals cannot get enough cardiovascular exercise to maximize the benefits and that resistance training in addition to the cardio may be best for diabetes prevention and management. Research shows muscle strength is connected to metabolic syndrome, including type 2 diabetes. High insulin levels, low muscle mass and low strength are the strongest factors associated with an increased risk. The muscular system, if trained, can become effective in managing blood sugar because it can improve glycemic control, maintain bone density preventing osteoporosis and increase muscular strength. Additionally, muscle contraction promotes glucose utilization, transporting glucose into muscle cells for energy. To stimulate insulin receptors that transport glucose to the muscle cells, it is recommended that diagnosed individuals should perform resistance training exercises that engage large muscles and muscle groups. Multi-joint exercises such as chest press, shoulder press, squats and deadlifts are more beneficial than singlejoint exercises such as bicep curls or leg extensions. Full body workouts that incorporate upper- and lower-body movements are reported to be the most effective. Two or three strength training sessions per week is all that is needed to maximize the benefit. Additional weekly training days did not have any greater benefit.

Baby dinosaur fossils reveal megagrowth WASHINGTON (AP) — Think your kids grow fast? Scientists say one dinosaur baby went from tiny to a true titan in the blink of a prehistoric eye. At birth, titanosaur babies weighed about as much as average human babies, 6 to 8 pounds. But in just a few weeks, they were at least the size of golden retrievers, weighing 70 pounds. And by age 20 or so, they were bigger than school buses. That jump from something that you could hold in your hands to one of the largest creatures to ever roam Earth beats anything scientists have seen before in terms of growth, said paleontologist Kristi Curry Rogers of Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota. She is lead author of a new study on the baby dino fossils published Thursday in the journal Science. By comparison, modern giants like whales, elephants and hippos are born much bigger than titanosaurs. Jeff Wilson of the University of Michigan, who wasn’t part of the study, said this is the paradox of this

class of dinosaurs: They started out as tiny eggs and ended up as the largest animals on the planet. Titanosaurs, plant-eating dinosaurs which lived about 67 million years ago, grew to be 15 feet tall, not including their necks and heads. They could stretch out to be 50 feet long. Looking through old bones stored in a museum after a dig in Madagascar, Rogers found enough small bone fossils to reconstruct a soon-after-hatching rapetosaurus, a type of titanosaur. The baby dinosaur died of starvation during a drought that killed many others in the region, she said. And yes, you could call it cute. “There is no doubt that these baby titanosaurs would have had some of the features we would normally associate with cuteness or baby-ness: short snout, large eyes, big head for a body — like a puppy,” said Luis Chiappe, director of the DinoTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS saur Institute at the Natural This artist rendering provided by Science, K.

McCain has heart issue at right time COMMENTARY

BY RICK CARPENTER rick@theitem.com

n Saturday, April 16, Sumter County Councilman Jim McCain repre-

sented the county’s team in the American Heart Association’s 2016 Sumter County Heart Walk. The Heart Walk raises money to promote heart disease awareness and research. He finished the 3.3mile course among the leaders after walking a quick pace Rick despite a noticeable Carpenter limp from having broken his leg in multiple places and an ankle after falling off a ladder about two years ago. It’s not unusual to see McCain representing the county. A couple of weeks ago, I covered three events in

one day and saw McCain (as well as Colleen Yates, representing the city) at each event. We joked about seeing each other so many times the same day. We even changed clothes between a domestic violence awareness event at breakfast and a black tie event for the Greater Sumter Chamber of Commerce McCAIN Gala that night. When I asked McCain about the walk, he said he wanted to support the county’s team. After all, at 65, McCain looks like the model of good health. Thin, energetic and always on the move with a positive attitude. But two days after the Heart Walk, right in the middle of a nuclear stress test where he was walking rapidly on a treadmill, a doctor monitoring him stopped him in his tracks and called 911. “My cardiologist stopped the test and told me I was on the verge of having a heart attack,” McCain wrote on his Facebook account for

friends to learn about his condition. Doctors rushed him to Palmetto Health Tuomey, only to learn they needed to transfer him immediately to Palmetto Health Heart Hospital in Columbia. While the ambulance was en route in normal driving conditions, McCain complained of feeling pressure on his chest. The attending medic ran an electrocardiogram and said “that’s not good.” The medic advised the driver who then turned on the siren and lights and sped up to get him to Columbia as quickly as possible. It might have saved his life. When the ambulance arrived at the hospital, a heart doctor looked at the EKG results and, when McCain tells the story, also said, “that’s not good.” The doctor rushed him to the cardiac catheterization unit on another floor in the hospital where doctors quickly determined he had 95 percent blockage in one main artery and 80 percent blockage in the second of three main arteries. The third artery appeared fine. During the procedure, the doctor placed stents in the two blockages

that opened the blockages to normal flow. All of this happened on Monday following the stress test. McCain walked out of Palmetto Health Heart Hospital on Tuesday and walked 3.28 miles on Wednesday with no ill effects. Doctors often refer to heart disease as a silent killer because you often don’t know you’re in danger until it’s too late. McCain testifies to that. He just thanks God his cardiologist was monitoring his stress test when things went haywire. He’s convinced God has a plan for the rest of his life. “It’s not for me to know what that plan is,” McCain wrote. “He will show me by and by.” Consider him a new-born evangelist for heart disease awareness. McCain slammed the door on the silent killer when he came knocking this week. He should be the poster child — or adult — for next year’s Heart Walk. Rick Carpenter is managing editor of The Sumter Item.

COMMENTARY

Black votes matter C

HARLESTON — African-Americans in the South can’t get a break when it comes to voting, as history can’t deny. After all they’ve endured through slavery, Jim Crow and the fight for civil rights, their voices are still treated dismissively by tone-deaf politicians who would ask for their votes. If you’re thinking Bernie Sanders, you’re partly right. Earlier Kathleen this month, having lost Parker massively to Hillary Clinton across the Southeast, Sanders commented that the bevy of early Southern primaries “distorts reality.” In other comments soon thereafter, perhaps covering for what was obviously a lapse in political acumen, he clarified that those early states are the most conservative in the country. Not really. And not really. While some segments of the South are undeniably conservative, Dixie is also home to a large and reliably Democratic cohort — African-Americans. Many of the most liberal people serving in today’s Congress were elected by Southerners, and especially black Southerners. The reality is that Sanders failed to earn their votes in part by treating the South as a lost cause. Many took Sanders’ remarks as insinuating that the black vote isn’t all that important. Adding to the insult, actor Tim Robbins, a Sanders surrogate, said that Clinton’s win in South Carolina, where more than half of Democratic voters are African-American, was “about as signifi-

‘Clinton shares none of Obama’s sparkle, but she has more than paid her dues, and African-American voters have rewarded her loyalty. For his part, Sanders not only confirmed African-Americans’ concerns about his disconnect from their daily lives, but was also badly mistaken about the South’s distance from reality.’ cant” as winning Guam. Not cool, Mr. Robbins, but you were great in “The Shawshank Redemption.” The gentleman from Vermont (black population: 1 percent) and the gentleman from Hollywood failed to charm Southern Democratic leaders, who recently responded with a letter condemning Sanders’ remarks. The signatories, including the Democratic Party chairs of South Carolina (an African-American), Louisiana, Florida, Georgia and Mississippi, expressed concern that Sanders’ characterization of the South minimized “the importance of the voices of a core constituency for our party.” The letter writers also pointed out that some of

Sanders’ victories have been in states that are more conservative than Southern ones, such as Oklahoma, Utah and Idaho. That black voters would prefer a familiar candidate such as Clinton over someone whose personal experience among African-Americans seems to have been relatively limited, notwithstanding his participation in civil rights demonstrations, is hardly surprising. For decades, the Clintons have worked for issues and protections important to the African-American community. But the Clintons, too, have been dismissive toward black voters when things didn’t go their way. During the 2008 primaries when it was clear that Barack Obama would

trounce Hillary Clinton in South Carolina, Bill Clinton remarked that Jesse Jackson also had won the state in both 1984 and 1988. No one needs a translator to get Clinton’s meaning. His next hastily drawn sentence — “Jackson ran a good campaign. And Obama ran a good campaign here” — did little to distract from the implication that Obama would win because he was black. Not cool, Mr. President. Hillary Clinton got herself into a hot mess when she asserted that President Lyndon Johnson was responsible for the Civil Rights Act, which many saw as dismissive of the Rev. Martin Luther King’s legacy. She scrambled to explain herself and mitigate the damage, but feelings once hurt are hard to mend. Then again, time is a miracle worker, and all is apparently forgiven. Hillary Clinton is the new black and has been duly rewarded for her loyalty, patience and sportsmanship. She played nice with Obama, crushing her resentment beneath the heel of her sensible shoes and erasing from memory Obama’s condescending “You’re likable enough, Hillary” during a debate. On the campaign trail, Clinton now tosses rose petals at Obama’s feats, promising to carry on his policies not be-

cause she necessarily agrees with them but because it’s politically savvy. For his part, the president has all but endorsed Clinton, returning the favor of her indulgence and her husband’s vigorous support. The truth is, only Obama could have defeated Clinton for the 2008 nomination, and he probably did win at least partly because he was African-American. The country felt it was time for a black president and Obama’s message of hope against a purple-colored backdrop of streamlined unity, baby, was intoxicating. He was a dazzling diamond in the rough world of partisan politics. Clinton shares none of Obama’s sparkle, but she has more than paid her dues, and African-American voters have rewarded her loyalty. For his part, Sanders not only confirmed AfricanAmericans’ concerns about his disconnect from their daily lives, but was also badly mistaken about the South’s distance from reality. In the South, black votes matter — a lot — and no one has understood this better than the Clintons.

Historic prison site takes hard look at mass incarceration BY NATALIE POMPILIO The Associated Press

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Visitors walk through a cellblock at Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia. The nearly two-century-old penitentiary in Philadelphia that is now a historic site is retooling its programming to take a critical look at mass incarceration in America. mass incarceration has taken on minority communities. “Five years ago, I would have told you visitors didn’t want to hear about this, that it would make them uncomfortable. They’d take this as being political, they’d be offended or they’d think we were trying to drive a political agenda,” said Sean Kelley, exhibit curator for the nonprofit that has run the museum since 2001. “At every turn, we’ve been proven wrong.” He said visitors to the penitentiary have shown interest in these issues and wanted to talk about them. “The growth of the U.S. prison population is so jaw-

dropping that it’s of deep interest to many people,” Kelley said. The prison population has grown by nearly 600 percent since 1970, with an estimated 2.2 million citizens in prison or jail. The exhibit includes a criminal justice policy video wall, featuring clips of presidents from Lyndon B. Johnson to Bill Clinton; videotaped interviews of people discussing the effects of incarceration, from the state corrections chief to a girl who has lived in five foster homes since her father was imprisoned; and a display examining the phenomenon described as the “million-dol-

Millennials struggle with down payment for homes WASHINGTON (AP) — Short of savings and burdened by debt, America’s millennials are struggling to afford their first homes in the face of sharply higher prices in many of the most desirable cities. Surveys show that most Americans under 35 lack adequate savings for down payments. The result is that many will likely be forced to delay home ownership and to absorb significant debt loads if they do eventually buy. Steadily rising home values in recent years have eclipsed pay increases, making it especially difficult to buy in major growth areas for jobs, such as San Francisco, Denver and Seattle. Nationally, 37 percent of millennial renters have saved nothing at all for a down payment, according to a survey of 30,000 renters being released Wednesday by Apartment List, a company specializing in rental home searches. At the same time, 79 percent of millennial renters say they aspire to own a home, illustrating a troublesome gap between expectations and financial realities. Even those diligent enough to set aside money are still short the cash to buy a home. Among larger metro areas, millennial renters who are saving have put aside an average of just $5,830. This marks less than one-fifth the savings needed for the typical 20 percent down payment on a starter home costing $175,000. The lack of savings raises doubts about whether the under-35 crowd will also delay marriage and children, said Andrew Woo, a data scientist at Apartment List. One possibility— already evident in some markets— is that first-time buyers are making smaller down payments and paying mortgage insurance or slightly higher interest rates on mortgages. Excess housing debt roughly a decade ago inflated a housing bubble and then triggered a market crash that led to the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression more than 80 years ago.

PHILADELPHIA — An old penitentiary-turned-historicsite that becomes a haunted house attraction each Halloween and provides a look back on a bygone era of corrections is taking a new direction with a hard look at today’s prisons and America’s high rate of incarceration. Philadelphia’s Eastern State Penitentiary opened in 1829 with the thought that criminals could redeem themselves, and it was cruel to crowd or mistreat them. The only light came from the skylight in the vaulted ceiling, sending the message that only the light of God and hard work could lead to reform. By the 1930s, space meant to house 300 inmates instead held 2,000. By 1970, the year Eastern State closed, punishment was its primary mission. Now, in a transformation that began modestly a few years ago, the penitentiary that housed such notorious criminals as gangster Al Capone and bank robber “Slick Willie” Sutton is completing a retooling of its programming to place a major focus on growing questions about the effectiveness of America’s prison system. “Prisons Today: Questions in the Age of Mass Incarceration,” an exhibit opening next month in workshops alongside one of the cellblocks, lets visitors know that the U.S. has the world’s highest-known percentage of incarcerated citizens. It also highlights large racial disparities in prison populations and the toll

remark attributed to the monarch, “Let them eat cake.” “If we ask hard questions, it’s important that people know we have some sense of humor as well,” Kelley said. Eastern State has hosted exhibits with political themes in the past but in conjunction with outside artists. “Our own voices, the organization itself, was pretty much silent,” Kelley said. The new exhibit — which will be up for three years and then most likely updated to reflect the times — is the biggest step yet toward fulfilling a fresh vision for the prison established when a consultant hired in 2009 helped create a new interpretive plan. The final directive? Talk to visitors about incarceration in modern times. The first changes were modifying the audio tour and adding more signage on the American prison system today. Then, in 2014, the museum installed a 3,500-pound steel bar graph on the grounds to show how the prison population has exploded since 1970 while the violent crime rate stands about the same today. Kelley said the new programming has “completely changed what this organization is and what it wants to be. It got us thinking about who gives tours and who designs programs.” A former inmate who works to help people leaving prison now serves on Eastern State’s board. Four newly hired tour guides have served prison time and sometimes share their experiences with visitors.

Wilson Hall goes for 2nd straight 3A title After capturing the program’s first state title in more than a decade, the returning members of the Wilson Hall boys golf team entered the 2016 season with a lot of confidence. Maybe even overconfidence. “We actually lost our first match of the season to Hammond,” Grier Schwartz said. “That was kind of a wake-up call. Coach (Glen) Rector sat us down after that and told us how incredible it would be to win two (championships) in a row. “But in order to do that, you have to be focused at all times.” The Barons seemingly took that lesson to heart. They went 26-2 this year and captured their eighth straight Region II-3A crown on Thursday in Orangeburg. Now Schwartz and company have their sights set on another streak as WH looks for back-to-back 3A crowns when the SCISA state tournament

tees off on Monday at Coastal Carolina’s Hackler Course in Myrtle Beach. The Barons return all five of their top golfers that won the title last year in seniors Schwartz, Christian Salzer and Coker Lowder along with Easton Ward and Walker Jones. “Last year was very rewarding because they all worked so hard to get to that place,” Rector said. “And to be able to win the state championship was a credit to all that hard work and years of dedication because it was a long time coming. “We’re going into this tournament with a lot of confidence, but we know with golf anything can happen.” The Barons will likely play with targets on their backs as well. WH is paired up with golfers from Porter-Gaud, Pinewood Prep and Hammond on Monday. Hammond holds the only 9-hole match victories over Wilson Hall this season and was runner-up to the Barons in last year’s tournament.

CHARLOTTE — Jeremy Lin scored 18 points, Kemba Walker had 17 and the Charlotte Hornets beat the Miami Heat 96-80 on Saturday night to snap a 12-game playoff losing streak and earn their first postseason victory in 14 Lin years. Rookie Frank Kaminsky, who got the starting nod, scored eight of his 15 points during an 18-0 run in the third quarter that broke open a 53-all game. The Heat lead the series 2-1, with Game 4 set for Monday night. Marvin Williams, a non-factor in the first two games, had 12 points and 14 rebounds for the Hornets. Luol Deng scored 19 points on five 3-pointers, and Dwyane Wade added 17 for Miami. Hassan Whiteside had 13 points and 18 rebounds but battled foul trouble. Miami, which shot 58 percent from the field in the first two games, was limited to 34 percent shooting. The Hornets outscored the Heat 52-28 in the paint and had four turnovers to Miami’s 15. Looking to combat the Heat’s height advantage on the perimeter, Hornets coach Steve Clifford moved Williams to small forward — in place of

RICHMOND, Va. — Denny Hamlin has gotten accustomed to having Sundays off when NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series comes to Richmond International Raceway, where the premier series has traditionally raced under the lights Hamlin on Saturday night. The track moved its spring race for this year to Sunday afternoon, hoping that racing during the day would be more appealing to families with young children, and Hamlin and others thinks they might be in for a treat. “I like having Sundays off every now and then, but I think it’s definitely going to put on a great show for sure,” Hamlin, who grew up about 25 minutes from the track, said “This race track, it does change a lot during the day.

Barnes takes 1-stroke Valero lead SAN ANTONIO — Ricky Barnes shot a 5-under 67 on Saturday to take a onestroke lead in the Valero Texas Open in a bid for his first PGA Tour victory. Winless in 221 starts with a career-best runnerup finish in the 2009 U.S. Open, the 35-year-old Barnes had an 11-under 205 total at TPC San Antonio. He closed with a bogey after a wild drive near a cactus bush on the par-5 18th. Brendan Steele, the leader after each of the first two rounds, was second after a 72. Former world No. 1 Luke Donald and three-time tour winner Charley Hoffman were two strokes back. Donald, coming off a second-place tie last week in

Earnhardt wins Xfinity race at Richmond RICHMOND, Va. — Dale Earnhardt Jr. dominated all day and regained the lead on a late restart to win the NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Richmond International Raceway on Saturday, earning his 24th career victory in the series and first in more than six years. Earnhardt built a lead of more than 5 seconds as the first 125 laps were run caution-free. When a caution fi-

nally flew with 15 laps to go, he and the other 10 cars on the lead lap headed for the pits, and chaos ensued, causing the race to go nine extra laps. Earnhardt was beaten off pit road by his J.R. Motorsports teammate Justin Allgaier, one of four drivers contending for a $100,000 bonus. But Brennan Poole, another contender for the bonus, stayed on the track on old tires. When the race when back to green, he nudged the back of Allgaier’s car, sending him spinning out of the race. That opened a door for Earnhardt to get back in front and for Ty Dillon to hold on for second and claim the $100,000 bonus in overtime. From wire reports

Gardner singled home the tying run in the seventh and then connected on a 3-1 pitch from Erasmo Ramirez (4-1) two innings later, pointing toward the Yankees’ dugout as he trotted to first base and the ball soared into the second deck in right field.

Mets continue power surge over Braves By CHARLES ODUM The Associated Press ATLANTA — Matt Harvey described his pitching as “a work in progress” following his first win of the season. With the Mets continuing their home-run spree, that was more than enough. Curtis Granderson homered twice, including a grand slam, to drive in five runs and the New York Mets beat the Atlanta Braves 6-3 on Friday night. Granderson’s sixth career grand slam was a line-drive shot he pulled into the rightfield seats off Bud Norris (1-3) in the second inning. Granderson had three hits, including another homer off Norris in the fourth, giving him four on the season. New York has 21 homers in its last seven games — the most in a seven-game span in franchise history, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Granderson insisted he was “Not locked in at all.” “I’m just trying to go ahead and get pitches you can put a good swing on and I was able to do that on a few of the atbats there,” Granderson said. Harvey (1-3) ended a streak of four straight losing decisions, including his first three starts this year. He needed 101 pitches to make it through five innings as he allowed two runs and seven hits and one walk. “It felt like I was releasing the ball the way I should be,”

LOS ANGELES — Daniel Lucius “Doc” Adams may never be a household name like baseball’s imagined inventor Abner Doubleday or basketball’s actual inventor James Naismith. But a newly verified set of documents, titled “Laws of Base Ball,” being sold at an auction that ends Saturday, go a long way toward lifting him to legendary status. They lend him credit for the distance of the base paths at 90 feet, the length of the game at nine innings and the size of a team at nine players, all in 1857, three years earlier than previously thought. Here’s a closer look at baseball’s new-old daddy.

THE FACTS OF HIS LIFE “Doc” was not just a colorful nickname. He was an actual physician, whose father was also a doctor. He was born in 1814 in Mont Vernon, New Hampshire, and went to Amherst College and Yale University as an undergraduate before moving on to Harvard Medical School. He first went into practice with his father in his hometown before setting out on his own in Boston, then New York. He practiced medicine and played baseball simultaneously into the 1860s, when he married, had five children and served as a Connecticut state legislator.

DOC ADAMS AND BASEBALL As a member of the New York Knickerbockers Base Ball Club, he was as close as one could come in the mid19th century to being a big leaguer. He began playing a primitive version of baseball in the 1830s. He was the game’s first shortstop, because he invented the position, which at the time served primarily as a relay thrower from outfielders because the balls didn’t fly far. He played every other position on the field except pitcher at various times, too, batted left-handed, and made the balls the club used. It’s difficult to know who baseball’s best players were at the time, but his prominence and longevity suggest he was one of them.

Adams served several stints as president of the Knickerbockers, which in 1857 hosted a convention of 14 New Adams York-area clubs to codify the rules of the game. It’s the decisions of that convention that led to the recently verified documents, and to the game we now recognize as baseball.

DISPLACED FATHER Alexander Joy Cartwright, Jr., a contemporary of Adams who had also served as president of the Knickerbockers, has been credited with the 90-foot base paths, nine inning games, and nine players on a side, including on his 1938 plaque at the Hall of Fame. A 1953 declaration of Congress made similar statements. However, he was not in New York and was not involved in the 1857 meeting that established the rules. Hall of Fame spokesman Brad Horn said there are no plans to change or remove Cartwright’s plaque, and that a sign at the Hall lets visitors know that plaques represent the best information available at the time of induction.

ABNER DOUBLEDAY? Generations of children wrongly learned that Doubleday, a prominent Civil War general, invented baseball. In the early 20th century he was given official credit for coming up with the first schemes for playing it in 1839 in a cow pasture in Cooperstown, New York, which would lead to the Hall of Fame’s establishment there. But Doubleday made no claim to inventing baseball, and left no documents on the game demonstrating his contributions, though his name will likely forever be attached to it.

HALL OF FAME? Adams was on the Hall of Fame ballot for 2016, but baseball’s Pre-Integration Era Committee only gave him 10 of 16 votes and he needed 12. The new documents and the attention they are receiving may prove to be what he needs for induction and acknowledgment.

Atlanta third baseman Adonis Garcia handles a wild throw during the Braves’ 6-3 to the New York Mets on Friday in Atlanta. Harvey said. “There’s more positives than negatives out of this game.” Harvey gave up a walk and two hits in the fifth but got out of the inning when center fielder Yoenis Cespedes threw out Nick Markakis at the plate. Markakis tried to score from second on A.J. Pierzynski’s third single. “I’m thrilled that we got a bunch of runs and I was able to kind of limit the damage there and help us get a win,” Harvey said. Jeurys Familia pitched the ninth for his fourth save. The Braves have not hit a homer in their last 11 games, their longest drought since going 13 games without a homer in May 1983. Atlanta is last in the majors with only

three homers and has no player with more than one. The Mets have won six of eight. The Braves, who lost nine straight to open the season, have a new three-game losing streak. Adonis Garcia also had three hits for Atlanta, including a run-scoring single off Antonio Bastardo in the seventh. Pierzynski has 1,999 career hits. The Braves matched the Mets’ 10 hits, but they couldn’t find enough key hits. “We just haven’t been able to get anybody on base and string anything together,” Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said.

Philadelphia goalie Michal Neuvirth, right, is one of several backups who are having significant impacts as starters this postseason.

Surprise goaltenders make big impacts in first round By STEPHEN WHYNO The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Michal Neuvirth, Thomas Greiss and Martin Jones were sitting on the bench as playoff backups a year ago. Jeff Zatkoff and Matt Murray were in the minors. Yet all five goaltenders have been difference makers in the first round of this year’s Stanley Cup playoffs. Neuvirth has singlehandedly gotten the Flyers back into their series, Thomas Greiss has been a rock for the Islanders, Jones beat his former team to lead the San Jose Sharks into the second round and Zatkoff held down the fort before Murray returned from injury to get the Penguins back on track. “They’ve bounced around, they’ve been traded, they had to do their due diligence behind other goalies that are high caliber,” analyst Justin

Goldman of the Goalie Guild said. “Just the patience that they’ve had, continuing to grind it out day in and day out and then when they get that opportunity, making the most of it, that’s what puts them in that upper echelon. That’s what makes them playoff performers.” Neuvirth’s emergence has had the biggest impact. A lower-body injury limited him to two games since March 4 before replacing Steve Mason with Philadelphia trailing the Washington Capitals 3-0 in the series, yet Neuvirth has stopped 75 of 76 shots, including all 44 on Friday, to force a Game 6 on Sunday. “He gave us life,” Flyers captain Claude Giroux said. “We were down 3-0 and at home he played really solid and Game 5, it’s more than solid. He was on his game. He’s been like that all year for us. We’re happy he’s on our side.”

Toronto’s DeMar DeRozan (10) puts up a shot against Indiana’s Myles Turner (33) during the Raptors’ 100-83 loss on Saturday in Indianapolis. The Pacers evened the series at 2-2.

the injured Nicolas Batum — and inserted Kaminsky and Al Jefferson into the starting lineup. It didn’t help early on. Miami started off Game 3 similar to the previous two, with Deng hitting four 3-point attempts in the first six minutes for an early 20-15 lead. But Charlotte withstood the early Heat assault and took the lead near the end of the first quarter behind eight points from Lin, who found his way to the basket repeatedly and drew a second foul on Whiteside. Charlotte opened a 49-44 halftime lead after Miami cooled off significantly, shooting just 36.6 percent from the field. That was a remarkable turnaround from Game 2, when Miami shot

74.4 percent from the field in the opening half and scored 73 points. Kaminsky gave the Hornets a spark in the third quarter with 11 points, including two spin moves against Wade and a turnaround jumper over Joe Johnson. Lin followed with a 3-pointer from the right wing to push the lead to 14, raising the fans clad in black “Enter the swarm” T-shirts and white Hornets headbands off their seats. The Hornets would push the lead to 24 in the fourth quarter with Lin scoring and creating off the fast break. Charlotte was 31-10 at home in the regular season.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The San Antonio Spurs know finishing off a playoff series is challenging. Being a win away from sweeping an opponent is even harder. The Spurs and Cleveland Cavaliers are on the verge of advancing in in the postseason and setting themselves up for a little extra rest. The Spurs can cap off their fifth series sweep in the past five postseasons Sunday, and their second in that stretch against Memphis. San Antonio hasn’t swept a first-round series since ousting the Lakers in 2013, and the Spurs’ last sweep came against these Grizzlies in the 2013 Western Conference finals. “This is the hardest, especially on the road,” Spurs guard Tony Parker said Saturday of completing a sweep. The Cavaliers can also knock out feisty Detroit. Golden State seems to be in total control against Houston, but the Warriors are up 2-1 against the Rockets. There has been a lot of talk about the NBA’s announcement that James Harden should have been whistled for an offensive foul on his game-winner in Game 3. But despite the chatter, the Rockets can even the series with a win at home. The Boston Celtics are also looking to even their series against the Atlanta Hawks, though they may need another Herculean effort from Isaiah Thomas.

Spurs at Grizzlies Kawhi Leonard pulled the Spurs through Game 3 with another impressive playoff performance. The two-time defensive player of the year scored 13 of his 32 points in the fourth quarter. Leonard also blocked five shots with no turnovers, becoming the first player to score at least 30 and do that in a playoff game since Shaquille O’Neal on May 20, 2000. “He’s our go-to guy, and he continues to step up and grow,” Spurs forward Tim Duncan said of Leonard. “And (to) see him change and his confidence grow every game is amazing to watch.” The teams face a quick turnaround with the first tipoff Sunday, and that hurts the Grizzlies, who have just 10 healthy players. Coach Dave Joerger stuck with his veterans Zach Randolph and Matt Barnes in Game 3. Vince Carter was the only starter to play less than 33 minutes with Barnes on the court for more than 41.

Cavaliers at Pistons Cleveland’s trio of LeBron James, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love has been too much for the Pistons. The Cavs have now won 11 straight postseason games against Detroit, one

short of the NBA record set by the Los Angeles Lakers, who beat Seattle 12 consecutive times from 1980-89. Detroit started fast Friday in its first home playoff game since 2009, but the Pistons faltered offensively in the second half. Now a candid Stan Van Gundy hopes his players can maintain their intensity in the face of long odds. “It’s tough at 0-3,” the Pistons coach said. “Cleveland makes a run, are you really going to stay the course and everything else? I have not been in this situation, but I’ve been on the other side of it. I’ve seen teams that give a good effort, but then you make a run on them, and you get them down a little, and they just sort of go away, because there’s not a great belief that they can still win the series.”

Warriors at Rockets It might be just a coincidence: Golden State losing and Stephen Curry set to return. Then again, maybe it’s not. Both coach Steve Kerr and Curry expect the reigning MVP to play Sunday after the Warriors upgraded his status to probable with the right ankle he sprained in the opener of the series. This series took a two-day break between Games 3 and 4, giving Curry more time for treatment and rest. The Warriors haven’t lost back-to-back games in their record-setting season. They certainly don’t want to start in the playoffs. “We just don’t like the feeling and you don’t want to have that continue,” Curry said. “So ... we get kind of angry I guess. We’ve done a great job of being resilient. It’s kind of a stubborn confidence that if we lose a game it’s not supposed to happen again and come out and get it done.”

Hawks at Celtics Isaiah Thomas was asked what he could do for an encore after scoring a careerhigh 42 points to help Boston avoid a 3-0 hole against Atlanta. “Get 43?” he told reporters after practice Saturday, cracking a big smile. “Nah, just win the game,” he added. The Celtics are happy that Thomas can take the floor at all on Game 4 on Sunday. He avoided a suspension for taking a swing at Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder in the first quarter. Thomas said he got the word from Celtics President Danny Ainge. Forward Jae Crowder said the Celtics talked about maintaining their composure as the teams become more familiar and perhaps more antagonistic. “We try to play the right way,” he said. “We don’t ever want to take a cheap shot.”

who was 8 of 8. ... Had Charlotte lost, it would have matched the New York Knicks’ record of 13 straight postseason defeats. ... Batum’s status for Game 4 remains up in the air.

BOSH ON THE SIDELINE For the first time since the All-Star break, Chris Bosh was with the Heat for a road game. “He brings a steadying influence, a leadership at all levels even when he’s not on the floor,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “That is why I always lean on him. He’s like another coach. He has been through our system and sees the game through a different lens than most players. All of that helps.”

Thomas and Fred Wadsworth took advantage with RBI groundouts to give the Fire Ants a 6-4 lead despite collecting just one hit in the inning. Evan Carter had a pinch-hit RBI single in the sixth and Jason Miller belted a run-scoring double in the seventh for insurance runs. They were not needed as Bryce Jonason and Christian Hendrix combined to toss 5 1/3 innings of shutout ball. They allowed just three hits and only one Titan runner reached third the rest of the way. â€œBryce comes in down 4-0 and then you look up 3 1/3 innings later and he hasnâ€™t given up anything,â€? USC Sumter head coach Tim Medlin said. â€œThen Christian comes in and does the same and you realize youâ€™ve got a lead going into the last inning. â€œOne thing about this team is they will battle. They will fight and claw no matter the situation and thatâ€™s one of the main things you look for in (ballplayers).â€? The second game followed a different script but still had a similar ending. USCS took a 4-1 lead after three innings and was up 4-2 heading into the sixth when starter Austin Hawley was lifted for Jake Trejo.

I know which holes Iâ€™m going to hit a driver on; I know which holes Iâ€™m going to hit a 3-wood on. Youâ€™ve got to know where to hit the ball off the tee. â€œI think just knowing how to play down the stretch on the second day with teams coming after you with all that theyâ€™ve got -- it really takes a lot of pressure off of you knowing that youâ€™ve done it before.â€?

veryone involved in Sumter Little Theatre’s production of “The Full Monty” agrees: It’s not all about the final scene — it’s about how six disheartened men get there.

In fact, the musical comedy written by Terence McNally isn’t really about male strippers at all. Rather it’s a “wonderful story of six men searching for themselves” after they’ve lost their jobs in a Buffalo steel mill during the Great Recession, said Director Carmela Bryan. “They feel hopeless and inadequate with their families and children, and they want to do something self-affirming,” she said. “It’s a funny story told with beautiful and funny words and beautiful music.” Michael Duffy plays Harold Nichols, the boss at the mill, who was also laid off. His character is beginning to feel helpless because of his change in lifestyle, too. “Harold has a young wife who loves nice things, and he loves to give them to her, but he’s in financial straits,” Duffy said. In fact, Harold is concealing the

layoff from his wife Vicki, played by Jenny Thigpen. Both Duffy and Todd Warrick, who plays Jerry, said they had no hesitation about playing novice male dancers who promise “the full Monty” — i.e., “taking it all off” to their audience — in order to earn money. They don’t dwell on that scene, they said, instead talking about the emotions, values and search for self-affirmation of each of their characters. Warrick described Jerry as “the kind of guy who peaked in high school, as far as his personal ‘fame’ and emotional development. He probably played quarterback and married his high school sweetheart.” Divorced, Jerry has “lost his machismo, he’s behind on his child support, and he’ll do anything to keep his kid in his life,” Warrick said.

The women of “The Full Monty” enjoy a performance by a group of Chippendale-style male dancers in a Buffalo nightclub. The experience inspires six laid-off steel workers to attempt their own, similar show. While Duffy and Warrick are very experienced in theater, Katie Wise is in her first public performance. She said, although she’s “excited and terrified of opening night ... . It’s nice to escape and be somebody else and let go.”

Wise plays Georgie, the wife of Dave (Hunter Cappelmann), who’s overweight and doesn’t feel good about himself. “I think the audiences will be very surprised at what’s so fundamental about the characters,” Wise said. “Everybody can relate. Every emotion is covered.” Bryan agreed that the relationships and character development are very important to the story: “It’s about what low self-esteem can do and how you can overcome it.” “There’s nothing to offend people,” Wise said. Warrick, who is president of the SLT board of trustees, said, “We were looking for something more modern, a little edgy, that would draw a younger crowd, as well as entertain regular theater goers.” There are many new actors in the

get the picture. DEAR ABBY — I found my birth parents 18 years ago. I always knew I had an older sister. The parents who adopted me are both gone now. They were great parents. Now that I have reconnected with my birth mom and siblings, I have a large family — two sisters and two brothers. I have a great relationship with my baby sister; it’s like we’re twins. The problem is, the older sister demands to be the center of attention all the time. I have tried to understand her, but every time we get together we end up mad at each other. It’s like she thinks I’m trying to take her place in the family, which I’m not. I enjoy spending time with my baby sister, but we can’t spend much time together because she lives in another state and it’s hard for either of us to travel. When I do get to go there, the older one makes it so unpleasant that I don’t even want to go. How can I get over this or care less about her crap? Thanks! Middle sister in the West DEAR MIDDLE SISTER — You might care less about your older sister’s “attitude” if you understand she behaves that way because she may be feeling threatened. By being nasty she’s trying to protect her turf. That you and the younger one have bonded “like twins” makes her feel excluded. Try to resent her less, sympathize more, and make her feel included. However, if that doesn’t work, see less of her so she can’t ruin the visit.

Each morning, we read various informational books on planting seeds, where seeds are found, parts of a plant and how seeds travel. During the course of three weeks, our students are experiencing plants in all of their learning stations. In the housekeeping station, students must use money, a cash register, baskets, fruits and vegetables to operate and buy items at a pretend farmers market. After purchasing their fruits and vegetables, they must write about how they will use them to cook healthy meals. In the block station, students have to create and build their own box garden. After they build their box garden, they will have to measure their gardens. In the math station, students have to use an assortment of seeds to practice their addition skills. In the art station, the students have to use a variety of materials to create their own flower and then must label the parts of their flower. During science, students will be able to dissect a seed, watch a seed germinate and learn how to keep plants living. To wrap up our study, each child will get to visit a farm and pick his or her very own strawberries from the vine. PTO will hold its Family Fun Day on Saturday, April 30. The day will include face painting, games, vendors, health and nutrition, food and a book mobile.

‘A Guy Named Joe’ 1940s movie shoots in Sumter County

ased on information from The Sumter Item archives, this story focuses on a 1940s movie dealing with ghosts, romance and airplanes, featuring two of Hollywood’s most recognizable actors, Irene Dunne and Spencer Tracy. The pro-

ducers of the film were looking for a landscape that could be found near Poinsett State Park. To the people of Sumter the area known as the “old Burnt Gin Auxiliary field” was ideal for this purpose. The production company used pilots and airplanes stationed at the Columbia Air Field during filming.

In the production of “A Guy Named Joe,” a number of scenes involving Dunne and Tracy were being made at the Army Air Base located near Columbia. The producers talked with E.W. Nettles Jr., game warden, asking permission to use the land which they planned to dress with extra trees, etc., in order to simulate the English countryside. The Tom Evans Co. of Sumter was Sammy Way contacted to REFLECTIONS transport selected trees and place them where the film company desired a ready-made forest. Even a herd of cows was positioned for a scene to be shot along an empty section of Wedgefield Highway. Additionally, bombers from Columbia Air Field were to be flown over the location for scheduled shots. The producers also arranged for the usage of Municipal Airport in Sumter (present-day location of Miller Road). One of the key features of the film was the employment of Capt. Dean Davenport, a veteran of General Doolittle’s Tokyo raid whose B-25 was the seventh to take off from the deck of the Hornet and fly to Tokyo to drop his payload on the Japanese mainland. Stationed at Columbia Air Base during the filming of “A Guy Named Joe,” Davenport was actually doing flying sequences for Irene Dunne. As Dunne, he merely comes in for a landing and crawls out of the plane at a long dis-

Other locals also enjoyed the opportunity to appear as extras in the film. “Twenty-five girls, whose accents were strictly of the Southern drawl type, were

portraying brisk Britishers, and the local airport which grew from a corn patch to the home of a few cub planes, then became an important auxiliary field to one of Uncle Sam’s large flying fields (Shaw Field) adding another stage to its development.

action. ... when the girls were needed to add atmosphere, 25 members of the Avi-aide club of Sumter were hired as extras and supplied uniforms to make them look like members of England’s Auxiliary Territorial Service. Not exactly glamorous were the size-12 uniforms. “Actress Anne Lemmon, in charge of getting the girls together, wore a pair of coveralls which could easily house a size-42 man. One parachutepack seemed to be moving around the field by itself; in actuality it was strapped to the back of 5-foot Agnes Harvin, who was lost under her equipment. Most of the girls in the movie were either civilian employees at Shaw Field or school teachers. Very few of them, with the exception of Anne Lemmon and Annette Roddey, who had both flown solo, knew much about planes. They thorough-

Also providing atmosphere was a group of USC students who portrayed soldiers and fliers.” William Kaplan, director of “A Man Named Joe,” also directed several Clark Gable movies in addition to the successful films, “Sequoia” and “Night Flight.” To him the movement and scene shooting was all in a day’s work. “To the 25 Avi-aides, their families and friends, it was quite an event and profitable, too. They were paid $7.50 a day to putter around the planes and look British; one of the school teachers in the group noted that she could give a substitute $5 a day and still make money by being in the movies!’ Reach Item Archivist Sammy Way at waysammy@yahoo. com or (803) 774-1294.

Lee County School District BISHOPVILLE PRIMARY SCHOOL Bishopville Primary students became Brain Buddies this week. The 4K, 5K and third-grade students participated in the Brain Minders program. The local pilot club has partnered with an organization to provide information through a puppet show program on protecting your brain from injury. Once students have been taught about keeping their brains safe, they will be fitted for helmets. Students are being recognized for their academic achievements this week. Award programs were held all week to recognize all 4K through third-grade students who were on the Principal’s List (all As), the Honor Roll (all As and Bs), Most Improved and Perfect Attendance. Parents and family members joined us as students performed songs and poems and received their certificates. BPS congratulates all the students who were recognized and encourages every student to continue to do his or her best.

BISHOPVILLE PRIMARY SCHOOL ANNEX On April 11, Bishopville Primary School Annex held the Third Nine Weeks Awards Day Program. Students were recognized for Principal’s Honor Roll (All As), A/B Honor Roll, Bringing Up Grades (B.U.G.), Citizenship and Perfect Attendance.

WEST LEE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL First grade has been very busy at West Lee Elementary School. We have recently started our plant unit. During the next few weeks students will learn about the parts of a seed and the plant. They will learn about the life cycle of plants and how they are similar and different from the life cycle of animals. Students will also learn about different kinds of plants and the role plants play in an environment. To make the unit interactive, students from both Anga Flynn’s class and Hannah Brunson’s class are growing their own plants for three weeks. They are already enjoying seeing the changes a plant undergoes.

LEE CENTRAL MIDDLE SCHOOL Lee Central Middle School’s motto is “Determined to Succeed,” and Principal Tonya Addison is excited about the steps that are being made toward reaching that goal. A new measurement tool, EVAAS (South Carolina Value-Added Assessment System) has reflected the growth made by the school. EVAAS tracks growth and progress made by the school toward proficiency. The level of overall proficiency in social studies increased almost 20 percent, the highest since the school has been here. The area of science showed growth as well. Addison added that “a highlight of EVAAS is that it tracks the growth over a three-year time span. Growth standards are set, and color codes are used to show the level at which they are met.” Yellow shows you are meeting the growth standards. Green shows you are going above. LCMS made growth in every area: math, science, social studies, ELA, Algebra 1 and English 1. EVAAS also rates individual teachers, with Level 5 being the highest. A Level 5 indicates that there is significant evidence that the teacher’s students’ progress was above the growth standard. This year only ELA and math teachers were included. Next year all core content teachers will be a part of the rating process. “We had several teachers who scored a 5,” Addison said. This is significant evidence that students made growth above the growth standard. Teachers receiving a Level 5 rating are Terrijuna Graham, Rosa McPhail, Jalisa Williams and James Price. Three teachers, Brittney Rosser, Rose Boyd-Wells and Devetter Bradley, received a Level 4 rating. Lee Central Middle School held its second-annual Relay for Life Field Day on March 25. The students, faculty and staff raised $797 that will be given to the American Cancer Society. On April 11, Kelvonte’ Wilson, an eighth-grader at Lee Central Middle School, was recognized as a Junior Scholar during the Junior Scholars Award Ceremony that was held in the Chapman Auditorium on the campus of Francis Marion University. Kelvonte’ is the son of Quantella Wilson and the grandson of Patricia Hardwick, James and Rosa Moses.

partment hosted its semester command and staff promotions. The Promotion Ceremony is a custom and tradition associated with military services and is adopted by JROTC programs to recognize cadets for their growth and achievements. Promotion is based on the cadet’s potential abilities to successfully accomplish a job with increased duties and responsibilities. This applies only to cadets who have strived in all classes, not just their JROTC class, as well as participated actively in service learning and community service projects. The JROTC instructors place a great amount of trust and confidence in these select cadets to help manage the battalion. The current battalion leadership presides over the ceremony with the instructors only providing comments to family and staff highlighting the custom and traditions of military promotion ceremonies. The ceremony is open to parents, faculty and staff in order to make this a memorable event for the cadets. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the students were congratulated by all in attendance. The JROTC Department would like to thank everyone in attendance and more so, thank all the cadets for their hard work in planning and executing this event. Eleventh-graders Kennedy Corley and Alexandria Layne have been selected to attend the Palmetto Girls State in Clinton on June 11-15 at Presbyterian College.

‘FULL MONTY’ FROM PAGE C1 cast of 25, he said. “After a few rehearsals, we all feel comfortable.” Working with such a large cast and crew — the orchestra directed by Linda Beck numbers eight, and the backstage crew is even larger — was daunting in the beginning, Bryan said, “trying to work out rehearsal schedules, work on tech,” coaching new actors and more, but she’s found it very rewarding to be surrounded by so much talent. She had high praise for the tech personnel, too. “Randy Abbott designed the set, (musical director) Beck is an extraordinary, incredible talent and is also directing the orchestra, Miss Libby (Singleton) has done some great choreography and has taught it to the cast, David Shoemaker has designed the lighting, Angela

Keller is light board operator, Michael Bacon has designed and will operate the sound, Randy (Abbott) and Sylvia Pickell have done the costumes ... ,” Bryan said. “Many of the actors and backstage crew have helped to construct the set.” In addition, she said, “Ann Beaty is stage manager, Traci Quinn and Kendall Jones are in charge of properties, and we have an excellent, large backstage crew.” Warrick said he thinks people will enjoy seeing “The Full Monty” on the SLT stage. “It’s funny, it’s poignant, and it’s got great music,” he said. “It’s an ambitious production.” He added that the play is very male-centered. “It’s masculinity at its finest,” Warrick said. “It’s a musical comedy, but it explores

No more ties? Spelling Bee will have harder words WASHINGTON (AP) — After two straight years of ties, the Scripps National Spelling Bee is adding more sting: The championship rounds will last longer, and the words will be harder. The bee, now televised in prime time by ESPN, has exploded in popularity during the past two decades. And the spellers have gotten increasingly savvy. So instead of sticking to a list of 25 “championship words” selected weeks earlier, the final rounds could have as many as 75 words. And the organizers can choose harder words on the fly if the spellers don’t appear to be struggling. “As difficult as those words offered those co-champions were, we had a more difficult section in our word list, but we couldn’t go to them because our rules bound us to stick to that 25-word championship word section,” Paige Kimble, the bee’s executive director, said. Before 2014, the system worked well enough. There hadn’t been a tie in more than 50 years. And the tie two years ago was a bit of a fluke: Both spellers got one of the championship words wrong, but because they misspelled back-toback, the bee continued. Then last year, Vanya Shivashankar and Gokul Venkatachalam, both veteran spellers who had come close in previous bees, plowed through the championship words with ease. Gokul’s last word was “nunatak,” which means a hill or mountain surrounded by glacial ice. He “spelled it in one second,” Kimble said. Current and former spellers

applauded the changes, saying the hardest words should be last. On occasion, championship words have left veteran spellers underwhelmed. Tejas Muthussamy, 13, of Glen Allen, Virginia, and Sylvie Lamontagne, 13, of Lakewood, Colorado, finalists last year who are returning, both said tougher words were used earlier in the finals. “The 25 words on the championship word list just tend to be a little bit easier than the other words they’ve used right before that,” Sylvie said. “I don’t really know why.” The changes mean the bee, which usually wraps up between 10 and 11 p.m. on the last day, could run later this year. Tejas said he’s trying to prepare for the May 24-26 championship by practicing late at night. Kimble said one proposed change she rejected was to simply continue the bee as long as it takes to declare a single champion. “We did not want the specter of the championship being determined by the endurance level of a young child,” she said. This year’s spellers range from 6 to 14 years old. There will also be bigger rewards. The first-place cash prize is rising from $30,000 to $40,000, while second place will now get $30,000 and third place, $20,000. The big jumps for second and third place reflect the possibility that spellers could get more words right than any previous winners and still not win, Kimble said. If there are co-champions again, each gets $40,000.

BUSINESS BRIEF FROM WIRE REPORTS

Prost! Germany celebrates 500 years of beer purity law BERLIN — To some it’s the real deal; to others it’s a bland brew. But thanks to a 500-year-old rule, everybody can be sure what’s in German beer. Only water, hops and malt are the permitted ingredients, according to the Bavarian beer purity law of 1516 that slowly spread to the rest of Germany. It’s still on the books, albeit with some exceptions, today. Chancellor Angela Merkel raised a glass of (alcohol-free) frothy brew to the law Friday at a ceremony in Ingolstadt, quoting Martin Luther’s saying that “he who has no beer, has nothing to drink.” Critics say the so-called Reinheitsgebot — whose name suggests divine commandment — is little more than a marketing trick dreamed up in the early 20th century to keep foreign beers out of Germany.

Spencer Jordan talks to Laurence Manning Academy students about Potter’s Raid and local ties to history while standing in front of William Alexander McQueen’s monument at Sumter Cemetery. McQueen was a three-star general for the Confederacy and survived 13 battles before being killed in his hometown of Sumter at the Battle of Dingle’s Mill. Mark Ferro, right, has made many improvements since taking over as manager of Sumter Cemetery in August 2014.

Historic graveyard gets myriad improvements BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com Changes are already evident at Sumter Cemetery. Places where bare ground was showing a year ago are now covered with grass, several inches of leaves and twigs have been removed under the graveyard’s huge oak trees, and the limbs of many trees have been pruned to allow a better view of the tombstones. What is also evident is the pride new manager Mark Ferro and his crew take in restoring Sumter’s 186-year-old cemetery. Ferro became manager in August 2015, after the former manager retired. A graduate of Wilson Hall and a U.S. Coast Guard veteran, he has a degree in natural resources management and years of experience owning a home repair company. A tour of the grounds in a golf cart with Ferro gave him an opportunity to narrate the progress that has been made. “Some of these oak trees are close to 200 years old,” Ferro said. “We had to clean out years’ worth of leaves and acorns underneath them where no grass would grow.” Ferro has been able to build on

the generosity of Scott Rumph, a board member who has donated his own time and money to improve the cemetery, including installing a sprinkler system and a new road in the area near his family plot. “But running hoses from there, I can get water to a lot of places that I couldn’t before,” Ferro said, stopping to move a sprinkler. He apologized for the interruption. “We have to manage our time wisely,” he said. The changes at the cemetery aren’t limited to the grounds. Inside the office, Ferro has renovated with marble tile, new furniture and paintings on the walls. “I want people to be able to feel like this is a nice place when they come inside,” Ferro said. The computer system has been upgraded, and office manager Nancy Clift, a retired Air Force veteran, is working to match the paperwork with actual graves and get it all loaded into digital files. A visit to the oldest part of the

graveyard is a trip into history. A monument to Confederate dead lists the names of most of the dead buried below, but a few are unknown. “It’s a public cemetery,” Ferro said. “It belongs to the people.” Ferro has begun cleaning some of the older headstones with a steam washer, he said, helping to make carvings and decorations long covered up visible again. While much has been done, Sumter Cemetery Association Board Chairman Jack Osteen said the board is considering a fundraiser to help pay for improvements to the historic cemetery. “The board is very excited about the direction the Sumter Cemetery is headed under the leadership of Ferro,” he said. “It’s really important for this perpetual care cemetery to reflect positively on Sumter and pay tribute to all those that have been buried there since 1830. “We want this to be a place Sumter can be proud of,” Osteen said.

ON THE MONEY

Medicare aims to foster critical care talks with doctors BY TOM MURPHY AP Business Writer Medicare wants more doctors and patients to talk about the tough care decisions that must be made if a person becomes seriously ill or incapacitated. The federal entity, which covers health care for people over age 65, has started reimbursing doctors for having face to face, advance care planning discussions about patients’ treatment preferences should they become unable to speak for themselves. Only 17 percent of adults say they have had these discussions with a health care provider, according to the nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation. Here’s what you need to know.

WILL EVERYONE HAVE COVERAGE NOW? That can still depend on the insurer. If you don’t have Medicare, check before scheduling an appointment specifically for one of these discussions. If there is no coverage, doctors may cut you a discount to have the talk. A half an hour of a doctor’s time could cost you $125 or more, depending on where you live. But don’t think a lack of coverage means you can’t talk to your doctor. Doctors have been reimbursed for years for discussing treatment options

with patients during the course of care or an office visit. Some have done it without reimbursement. By offering reimbursement specifically for this discussion, the government aims to encourage more of these conversations to take place. This might make it easier for more people to have the conversation with their doctors if they are not facing a terminal illness.

WHO SHOULD HAVE THIS TALK? The range of patients isn’t limited to the elderly or people with a serious condition. These voluntary discussions can be crucial if someone later winds up critically injured from a car accident and unable to communicate. Even healthy younger adults should think about an advance care plan, according to Dr. Peter Hollmann, chief medical officer of University Medicine in Rhode Island. “The odds of you needing it tomorrow are very, very small, but they’re not zero,” he said. These discussions can last a half an hour or more and may require another visit.

WHAT WILL THESE DISCUSSIONS INVOLVE? There’s no set format for how they unfold. Hollmann says they should

largely be directed by the patient. The conversation may involve how you would want to be treated if you have a terminal illness. That could include exploring whether you would want a ventilator or CPR performed in certain situations. It also could include talking about nutrition and whether you want treatment that’s focused on comfort or prolonging your life. Your doctor will probably want to discuss who you have chosen to act as your health care representative in case you become incapacitated and need someone to make decisions based on your wishes. Think carefully about the spouse, family member or close friend you select for this role and make sure he or she knows your wishes.

ARE THESE THE DISCUSSIONS THAT STIRRED CONCERN THAT THEY WOULD LEAD TO FEDERAL ‘DEATH PANELS’? Yes. More than six years ago, a provision for Medicare to cover this sort of counseling, which includes discussing endof-life care, touched off an uproar that threatened President Obama’s still-developing health care overhaul. Former Alaska Republican Gov. Sarah Palin’s accusation that voluntary counseling could lead to governmentsponsored “death panels” dictating the

fate of frail elders was widely discredited. But the counseling still stirs concern among some right-to-life advocates that it could be used to nudge patients into forgoing life-saving treatment and cannot be adequately monitored for bias.

WHAT SHOULD I DO AFTER TALKING TO MY PHYSICIAN? Write an advance directive. This documents in your own words instructions about future medical care. That means you won’t have to depend on your doctor being present in an emergency and having notes from your discussion. Advance directives don’t expire, so patients don’t have to worry about writing one too soon. But people should periodically review them to make sure they still reflect their wishes, said John Mastrojohn III, executive vice president with the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. “They basically remain in effect until you change it,” he said. These are legal documents, and their form can vary by state. You won’t need a lawyer to complete one, but you may need a witness or notary to sign it. Mastrojohn’s organization offers a website with links to copies of each state’s advance directive form: http:// bit.ly/1cgFdvW.

THE SUMTER ITEM

Call the newsroom at: (803) 774-1225 | E-mail: trevor@theitem.com

How I became an outdoor columnist A

n article in The Sumter Item caught my attention. It was reported that the entire staff at The Manning Times had all quit their jobs the same day, and started a new newspaper. The publisher of The Manning Times vowed that the people of Clarendon County would not miss a single issue of the paper. He had hired Jason Lesley out of retirement as the new editor. I knew that The Manning Times had had an outdoor writer, and assumed that he had left with everyone else, but I needed to be sure. So, in a few days, I made a trip to Manning to pick up a copy of the paper. I was right – he had also gone over to the new paper. I figured that that was my chance. I have always loved to read, but had no training or experience in professional journalism. I put together a resume and cover letter that focused on my accomplishments and life experiences, that I emailed to Lesley. He called me the next day. Then the next day, I went

Dan Geddings OUTDOORS

in for an interview and I took my hunting clothes in the truck with me. I figured that the interview wouldn’t take too long, and I could head to the lowcountry afterwards, to

hunt turkeys. It didn’t take long, and he offered me the weekly outdoor column on the spot, as a contract writer. I was ecstatic, and stumbled out of his office in a daze without asking a single question. I drove to Bamberg County and killed a big gobbler that afternoon. That hunt turned out to be my first newspaper story, published in April of 2010. The number one question nowadays that I get from people is “how did you get started as an outdoor writer?” Well, it didn’t really start with The Manning Times. It goes back much farther. My daddy and uncles were

all good storytellers. I would sit spellbound for hours as they told fantastic outdoor adventures to me and my brothers back in the days before cable TV, home computers and video games. We grew up hunting and fishing, and I yearned to tell my own stories. When I got serious about hunting turkeys in 1993, I joined a club in Colleton County. The season opened there in mid-March and I realized I could be hunting while my friends were sitting home watching cartoons, and waiting on April 1. The club secretary, Don Rowland, published a quarterly newsletter that covered current events and news relevant to the club. I thought it was a great idea. I had been a member at a local hunt club for years and decided to do the same thing here. I paid for everything out of my pocket. It cost the club nothing and proved to be popular with the membership. I worked in club news, commentary, pictures and some hunting stories. And, I realized that I really enjoyed doing it.

The newsletter thing ran it’s course, and after a few years I realized that I wanted to do something more. I started looking at newspapers in the state that had no outdoor writer. It was something that I thought I could do in my spare time. I sent resumes and cover letters to multiple outlets, but never received a response. I was discouraged, but would not give up. Then, the news about the Manning paper hit. I wrote for Lesley until he retired again, then Leigh Ann Maynard and Robert Baker. I learned a lot in those years, and received nothing but encouragement and support from the community. I knew that eventually someone would tell me what an idiot I was, but it never happened. Manning gave me a start, but I wanted to go to a bigger venue. This time I sent out a potential news story to a few newspapers. Lee Harter at The Orangeburg Times and Democrat ran the story and offered me the opportunity to share the outdoor column with their longtime contributor Dr. John Rheney. I’ve been

writing for the T&D for about a year now. Recently, when Earl Woodward retired, I stuck my foot in the door and Rick Carpenter at The Sumter Item gave me this opportunity. Over the years, I’ve learned much from reading and writing, but probably my most valuable lesson has been from a small paperback that I picked up at the mall recently. It was Steven King’s book, On Writing. It validated everything that I thought I had learned, and wanted to do. I figured if he doesn’t know what he’s saying about writing, then nobody does. What it boils down to is that you write about what you know, and love. A good story is what people want to read, whether it’s about baseball or politics or the outdoors. I start out by telling myself that story, then just put it down into words for you, the reader. Dan Geddings is a weekly columnist for The Sumter Item. If you would like to contact him, you can email him at cdgeddings@gmail.com.

Brother and sister bagged their first turkeys Far left, Wilson Britton, 9 years old, shot his first turkey on March 12 using a crossbow while hunting with his father. The turkey weighed 25 lbs. and had a 10-inch beard and a 5½-inch beard. Wilson is in the third grade at Thomas Sumter Academy and is the son of Ashley Goza and Ken Britton. Left, Madeline Britton, not to be out done by her brother Wilson, shot her first turkey while hunting in Lone Star with her father and brother watching. Using a shotgun, she bagged a 21-lb. bird with an 11-inch beard and 1¹∕8inch spurs. Madeline, daughter of Ashley Goza and Ken Britton, is 12 years old and is in the sixth grade at Thomas Sumter Academy. PHOTOS PROVIDED

FISHING REPORTS Information on fishing trends provided courtesy of www. AnglersHeadquarters.com, South Carolina’s premier fishing report source. Customers of the Angler’s Headquarters online tackle store have access to daily updates and fulllength reports on its site. DHEC Fish Consumption Advisories: www.scdhec.gov/environment/water/fish Freshwater Report Santee Cooper Bass: Good. Steve Harmon reports that a large group of fish are post-spawn, and another big wave should move up to spawn on the April full moon. Pre-spawn fish can be caught around shallow cover on soft plastics while post-spawn fish have pulled out slightly deeper. Crappie: Good. Captain Steve English reports that crappie can be found in the shallows as well as around mid-depth brush where they will eat minnows. Catfish: Fair to good. Captain Jim Glenn reports that the best catfish bite is coming in 20-30 feet of water on cut shad. Striped Bass: Fair to good. Captain Jim Glenn/ Pack’s Landing reports that the striper spawn continues and fish are being caught in the top of the system on artificials, live herring and cut herring. Bream: Fair to good. Captain Steve English reports that bluegill are staging in anticipation of the full moon, while a few shellcracker are already shallow. Midlands Area Lake Wateree Bass: Fair to good. Bass at all three stages of the spawn can be found on Lake Wateree, but tough conditions have made the bite a little off for spring.

Spinnerbaits and jigs have been working. Catfish: Very good to excellent. Captain Rodger Taylor (803-517-7828) reports that catfish are concentrated along the river channel in the upper one-third of the lake, where they will eat cut bait. Striped Bass: Good. Captain Rodger Taylor reports that striper are in the same areas as the catfish and they will eat cut shad on the bottom. Crappie: Good. Will Hinson advises that the spawn is winding down but postspawn fish are in the backs of creeks where they will eat jigs and minnows. Lake Greenwood Bass: Good. Fish are up shallow on Lake Greenwood, and Stan Gunter advises that the biggest wave of bass should spawn on the April full moon. Topwater lures as well as floating worms will catch fish. Catfish: Good. Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) says that catfish are biting well in the shallows on drifted cut bait. Lake Monticello Bass: Good. Andy Wicker reports that another very good wave of fish should spawn on the April full moon. Soft plastics in the shallows work well for pre-spawn and spawning bass, and post-spawn fish will take topwater lures. Catfish: Fair to good. Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) reports that catfish continue to be caught in 20-40 feet of water on small pieces of cut bait. Lake Murray Bass: Fair. Captain Doug Lown reports that cool temperatures and wind have made for some tough fishing, but expect a lot of fish to move up next week on

the full moon. Smaller soft plastic baits will catch fish. Striper: Good. Captain Brad Taylor (803331-1354) reports that striper are scattered out around the lake from 3-50 feet of water. Free-lines, planer boards, and cut bait fishing have all been catching fish. Crappie: Fair to good. Captain Brad Taylor reports that a lot of post-spawn crappie are pulling out to deeper docks, bridges and brush. Catfish: Fair. Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) reports that catfish have backed out into deeper water with the cool weather but they will take cut bait. Piedmont Area Lake Russell Bass: Good. Guide Jerry Kotal (706-9880860) reports that largemouth at all three stages of the spawn can be caught on Russell, while spotted bass seem to be mostly pre-spawn. Both moving baits and soft plastics will catch fish in the shallows. Crappie: Good. Guide Wendell Wilson (706-283-3336) reports that the better crappie have now spawned, but the bulk of the fish are still in relatively shallow water where they can be caught on minnows and jigs. Striped Bass: Fair. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that good numbers of striper are mid-way up the rivers, and they will take live herring presented on free lines and planer boards. Catfish: Fair. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that catfish can be caught around rip-rap on cut herring. Lake Thurmond Bass: Good. Buckeye Lures reports that bass are hanging a little ways out from points where they will take soft plastics presented on jigheads. There has been sporadic schooling activity.

Striper: Good to very good. Captain William Sasser (864-333-2000) reports that stripers are being caught shallow first thing on free lines and lures, and after that they are being caught deeper in the same areas on the bottom. Crappie: Fair to good. Captain William Sasser reports that most crappie are post-spawn and they have pulled out a little deeper, still in the backs of creeks, where they can be caught on minnows fished vertically. Lake Wylie Bass: Good. FLW angler Bryan New says that while sizes are a little down, numbers are pretty good, and fish at all three stages of the spawn can be found in the shallows – as well as some deeper fish. A wacky-rigged worm is tough to beat. Catfish: Good. Captain Rodger Taylor (803-517-7828) reports that catfish are moving up the river arms, and they will take cut bait fished on the bottom around structure. Mountains Area Lake Hartwell Bass: Good. Tournament anglers report that bass are shallow, focused on spawning herring, or at least feeding in the areas where herring will be spawning. They can be caught on the top, bottom or in-between but the common denominator is shallow points. Striped Bass: Good. Captain Bill Plumley (864-287-2120) and Guide Chip Hamilton (864-304-9011) concur that striper and hybrid fishing is strong, with fish spread out all over the lake and up the rivers. Depending on conditions, free-lines, planer boards and down-lines are all working. Catfish: Good. Captain Bill Plumley reports that blue catfish continue to feed well in 2-20 feet of water.

Crappie: Slow. Captain Bill Plumley reports that the cold fronts continue to have a very negative effect on crappie fishing, but many fish will spawn soon. Lake Keowee Bass: Good. Guide Brad Fowler and Brock Taylor report that fish at all different stages of the spawn can be caught on Lake Keowee right now. Very shallow fish focused on bedding will take soft plastics, and pre-spawn and post-spawn fish feeding on bait will take spinnerbaits, swimbaits, drop shot rigged worms, etc. Lake Jocassee Trout: Fair to good. Guide Sam Jones (864-280-9056) reports that while they are not wearing out the fish right now, some decent trout are being caught on Lake Jocassee. In the past week or so his boat has caught three fish over 5 pounds as well as plenty of fish in the 3-4 pound range. There are also plenty of sublegal stocker-sized fish to be caught. Fish are highly scattered out, and anglers are catching fish around pretty much all of their normal spots. Sam says it’s rare to hear of someone fishing in their preferred area where they have confidence and not catching fish. The flip side of this is that there are no real hot spots right now. Some fish are being caught in the big water around the dam, and there are also fish up in the rivers and in the very backs. Trout are being caught from the surface down to 50 feet, with 30-40 feet being the best range. They are hitting both bait and hardware, although the bite is a bit better on hardware. 2-3 inch spoons have been the best bet, and Sam always has the most confidence in Sutton Spoons. Doctors and Apex Spoons have also been catching fish. South Carolina freshwater recreational fishing regulations: (Pdf file): www.dnr.sc.gov/regs/pdf/freshfishing. pdf

The property consists of a building previously used by the Santee Lynches Regional Council of Governments. Osteen Publishing will acquire the property from the current owner and intends to use it as the offices of Osteen Publishing Company.
