the rest of his life in prison after a jury found him guilty on Thursday of accessory before the fact to a murder, pointing and presenting a firearm, unlawful carrying of a pistol and criminal conspiracy. At-large Circuit Court Judge Williams Seals Jr. sentenced Johnson to life for the first charge, with concurrent sentences of one to five years for the others.
State Assistant Attorneys General Cary Goings and Curtis A. Pauling argued during their case, which started Tuesday before Seals at the Sumter County Judicial Center, that Johnson ordered Rasheed B.

TIPS FOR DEALING WITH DELUGE
Works and (state) Department of Transportation get crews out when ditches are flooded, and they’ve got crews riding around spot checking. If it is something they can alleviate, they will. So much of it is we’ve had so much rain the past six months that the water tables have risen, and there is no place for the water to go.” In some parts of town, the total rain that fell in less than an hour is more. “Calls are coming in nonstop,” said Al Harris, assistant city manager. “We had workers up and out until about
• Don’t go out in it unless absolutely necessary. • If you can’t see the roadway, don’t drive through the water. You don’t know how deep it is or if the road is still there, especially with rural, dirt roads. • If a home or business owner, get flood insurance. • If a tenant, purchase renters’ insurance. • If water is coming in under a door, move items that might be damaged as quickly as possible. • If the item can’t be moved, such as furniture, put aluminum foil around the legs. • For car mats, replace or dry out well and use deodorizers. • Be careful of mold and mildew. Remove affected areas and have professionals treat with growth-inhibiting chemicals such as sporicide.

The Sumter County unemployment rate jumped dramatically in June, climbing to 9.9 percent, the South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce said Thursday. The increase, however, comes as a recent study of job conditions in cities nationwide says Sumter is showing significant improvement. According to statistics from the DEW, Sumter’s June unemployment rate increase of 0.9 percentage points could be attributed both to a slight decrease in the number of people actually working while at the same time the total number of people in the area labor force continued to grow. As is often the case during the summer months, the pattern of a growing labor force repeated itself in counties across South Carolina, as 44 of the state’s 46 counties saw increases in their unemployment rates. This included Clarendon County, which saw its unemployment rate climb a full percentage point to 12.7 percent, as well as Lee County, which climbed 1.1 percentage points to 11.1 percent.

Gear Up for Learning seeks school supplies BY IVY MOORE ivym@theitem.com This year marks the 15th annual Gear Up for Learning campaign sponsored by United Ministries of Sumter County. The group has set a goal of collecting 1,850 bags of supplies for students in the county. Unfortunately, despite having sent out cards to businesses, churches and other organizations, the
response to its requests for donations has been slower in coming this summer, according to Executive Director Mark Champagne. “It may be our communication isn’t working or because of the economy,” he said Wednesday afternoon, “so we’re hoping donations will start coming in soon.” On the other hand, Champagne said, “Volunteer support has been
incredible,” with plenty of hands to collect, sort and pack the school kits. Denise Spivey, cochairwoman of Gear Up for Learning with Rosanne Christie, said the program is set up so that anyone can afford to make a donation. “We try to concentrate on the basic tools students need to do their school work,” she said.

Hearing on proposed apartments draws crowd BY BRISTOW MARCHANT bmarchant@theitem.com A proposal to build a new apartment block on Lewis Road received some push back from residents whose homes abut the developer’s property. Several residents of National Street filled the audience for the public hearing before Sumter City Council, worried about how the proposed development might affect them. The property owner had requested the city re-zone two undeveloped parcels from a single-family to a multi-family residential area. The request covers a threeacre parcel on Lewis Road south of McCrays Mill Road as well as a separate parcel of less than an acre behind

homes on National Street. Surveyor Don Willson told council the owner wants to develop the Lewis Road parcel into apartment-style housing. Planning Director George McGregor recommended the project for approval, saying both parcels border on multi-family residential zones to their south. “Right now, it’s a primarily wooded area,” McGregor said. “It may be ripe for multi-family residences.” But one resident of National Street spoke in opposition to the plan. Essie Mae Ramsey said those on her street already see encroachment on their property from residents at Huntington Place Apartments nearby, and another apartment complex is already under construction at the complex property on the
southern end of National. “We already have people loafing through here,” Ramsey said. “How are these apartments going to benefit us?” National is an unpaved, dead-end road of single-family homes running south of McCrays Mill a block east of Lewis Road. Although all the property zoned for multifamily use is inside the city, National Street and the homes running alongside that property fall outside the city limit. Mayor Joe McElveen waived the requirement that speakers at council meetings be city residents to allow residents to air their concerns. Addressing Ramsey’s concern, Willson said the developer currently has no plans to place anything on the
smaller parcel behind National, and would only develop the parcel facing Lewis Road. He also pointed out a larger, currently undeveloped, property bordering National’s homes is already zoned for multi-family use. Council members Ione Dwyer and Charlie Burns moved to defer action on the proposal so they could look into the issue. Immediately after the hearing closed, a large portion of the audience for the meeting rose and left, suggesting more residents took an interest in the proposal than spoke. Council members did vote to approve another zoning request to re-zone 143 acres on U.S. 15 South from commercial to residential, so the property can be subdivided into parcels for homes. The
parcel already borders a residential development, and McGregor said the property’s location directly behind the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints makes it illsuited for more commercial development. In other news, council approved a contract for a required study of the Pocotaligo River to determine its capacity for additional wastewater effluent. The contract was awarded to Davis & Floyd of Florence for $294,000. Council also agreed to coapply with Central Carolina Technical College for an economic development grant for the college’s planned manufacturing technology center on Broad Street.

the S.C. Department of Employment and Workforce and South Carolina’s 12 Workforce Investment Boards, which administer SC Works Centers in South Carolina. Lee County is part of the Santee-Lynches region which is comprised of Lee, Sumter, Clarendon and Kershaw counties. “Job seekers are able to access all the services on a website (www.scworks.org),” Davis said. “They don’t have to leave their home. But our career specialists at the centers are there to help job seekers navigate the (SC Works) system, so they can get registered. They can find out the jobs that are available. They can build a résumé, and the system will match them with a job that fits their resume.” The employment services are delivered through the state’s comprehensive SC Works system. In Lee County, the centers, formerly called one-stop shops for job seekers, has had various sites and has been housed at the Bishopville campus of Central Carolina Technical College, located on the top floor of the
Lee County Education Center, above the library. Workforce Career Specialist Katrina Lake said the library has an advantage over other part-time employment support centers. “When we were upstairs (Central Carolina), people could only come when we were on site and that’s just two days a week,” Lake said. “At the library, people can come in whenever it is open to work on their résumé or to access any of the services.” Lake said today’s job seekers must understand how to be successful in today’s changing job market. “The job market has changed a lot in 10 years,” Lake said. “Today, job seekers must restructure themselves to be successful. Now, everything is on the computer. You must have an online résumé.” Workforce career specialists often provide computer training as a strategy to support the individual seeking employment, Davis said.

Re-enactors pray on the beach on Morris Island on Thursday in Charleston in a ceremony honoring the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, the black Union unit that attacked Confederate Battery Wagner in a fight recounted in the film “Glory.� Six days of events next week will mark the 150th anniversary of the battle.
Civil War battle by black troops recalled during re-enactment SULLIVANS ISLAND (AP) — Dozens of Civil War re-enactors gathered Thursday to commemorate the 150th anniversary of a famed attack by the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry — a battle in South Carolina that showed the world black soldiers could fight and was chronicled in the movie “Glory.� Re-enactors portraying members of the black Union regiment as well as Confederate counterparts defending Battery Wagner in Charleston Harbor planned to travel Thursday afternoon by boat to Morris Island, site of the battle, to lay a wreath and fire a salute. Speeches and Civil War-period music also were planned on nearby Sullivans Island — an inhabited barrier island near the harbor entrance — about the time of the evening attack 150 years ago. Luminaries were to be lit by nightfall in memory of the dead. The 54th was raised in Boston and of the 600 black troops who bravely charged Battery Wagner, 218 were killed, wounded or cap-
tured in fierce fighting. The 54th later served in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida before returning to Massachusetts at war’s end. “This is probably the most significant anniversary of the 150th anniversaries of the Civil War,� said Walter Sanderson, a re-enactor from Upper Marlboro, Md. “It was a primary test for AfricanAmerican troops in a very difficult assault. They proved themselves to be a quality regiment under the most severe duress.� Usually, there are about a dozen black re-enactors who make the trip each year. This year, more than 50 black re-enactors and several dozen Confederate re-enactors were gathering, some from such distant states as California. “Going out on that island has special meaning today,� said Joe McGill, a black Charleston re-enactor who makes the journey every July 18. The attack was part of an unsuccessful campaign by federal forces to capture Charleston, the city where the Civil War began in
1861 with a bombardment of federally held Fort Sumter. The Confederates would hold Charleston until late in the war, when they abandoned it as Union troops moved across South Carolina further to the west. While the Battery Wagner attack was unsuccessful, the valor of the black troops dispelled the thought — common in both the North and the South early in the war — that blacks could not fight. It also encouraged the enlistment of another 200,000 black troops in the Union army. “It’s just an honor to be here. The 54th proved that black troops could fight in a battle,� said Louis Carter of Richmond, Va. He said Battery Wagner and several earlier smaller fights involving black troops “disproved that stereotype that we would run.� Leon Watkins of San Francisco carried the flag in the movie “Glory.� A former Marine, he said “if this hadn’t happened here 150 years ago, I wouldn’t have been able to help provide the blanket of security we all sleep under.�
DOT looks into possible 8,000-year-old site LAKE CITY (AP) — Investigators from the South Carolina Department of Transportation and archaeologists have begun looking into whether a site near Lake City contains human remains and artifacts from 8,000 years ago. The Morning News of Florence reported Thursday that transportation department archaeologist Chad Long said the site was discovered two years ago. Long said the site is being studied to see if the deposits need protection. “Right now we’re trying to protect the site and the sensitive deposits there,� Long said. “A crew is in the very ini-
tial stages of data recovery, and we’re learning more about the site by the day. We plan to do an intense investigation to retrieve information, interpreting it and doing analysis.� The site contains human remains, ceramic shards and other artifacts, Long said. He said the transportation department is consulting with the Catawba Indian Nation and historic preservationists. The site was found during studies for the widening of Highway 378, but the dig work is not expected to cause a delay in the highway project, Long said. The archaeologist said the quality of de-
posits is good because they aren’t highly fragmented, and researchers will be able to determine certain time periods when the site was being used. Long said the investigation will take at least
10 more weeks. “Due to the very sensitive deposits, the site is not open to the public. It’s not safe to be out there, and we are asking people to stay away until the investigation is complete,� Long said.

FLOODING from Page A1 midnight dealing with some of the worse issues. We had 2-and-a-half inches to 3 inches in 45 minutes. That’s a tremendous amount, and the drains cannot handle all that water at one time.� Insurance companies and cleaning companies also received an influx of calls following Wednesday’s deluge. “Most of our calls at this point are from water damage,� said Charles Bostic Jr. with State Farm Insurance. “We’ve had roofs leaking and the most of them lately have been standing water in the yard that is coming into homes, apartments and businesses.� While the roof is usually covered in home insurance provided it is not a maintenance issue and water damage to vehicles is covered in a comprehensive policy, coverage for damage caused by standing water entering a home must fall under a separate flood insurance policy. “There is a misconception that you only need flood insurance if you live near a river or lake, but the definition of flood is actually standing or rising ground water,� Bostic said. The cost of flood insurance policies vary depending on
value and location of the home in relation to flood zones, he said. Property owners are responsible for flood coverage, but tenants are responsible for renters’ insurance for water damage to personal property. “In most cases, unless you are in a special flood hazard zone, flood insurance is relatively affordable,� Bostic said. “Renters’ insurance is extremely inexpensive averaging $120 a year or less.� While Hiram Spittle, owner of Spittle’s Cleaning and Restoration, had only half a dozen calls Thursday, he said he is expecting more. “People are going to go in and find water where they didn’t know they have it,� he said. “When it comes in that much that quick it gets to be a mess.� Despite the wet weather, Hayes said the Sumter area has been fortunate so far. “As far as we know, public works has not had any roads washed out or major damage,� he said Thursday. “Last night we did have some trees down.

Senators ready to restore lower college loan rates WASHINGTON (AP) — A bipartisan compromise on student loans promises better deals for students and parents during the next few years but could spell higher rates as the economy improves. The Senate deal pegs the interest rates on new loans to the financial markets and was expected to come to a vote next week, well before students returning to campus this fall had to sign their loan agreements. Under the deal, undergraduates this fall could borrow at a 3.9
percent interest rate. Graduate students would have access to loans at 5.4 percent, and parents would be able to borrow at 6.4 percent. Those rates would climb as the economy improves and it becomes more expensive for the government to borrow money. The compromise heads off the doubling of rates on some students loans, which would cost students an extra $2,600. “We have gone through weeks of negotiations and we have an
agreement,� said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill. At the White House, spokesman Jay Carney said President Barack was “glad to see that a compromise seems to be coming together.� And Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., said students benefited: “For every one of them, the interest rates on their loans will be lower.� At least for now. The compromise could be a good deal for students through the 2015 academic year, but then interest rates are expected to climb above where

they were when students left campus in the spring. Even in announcing the compromise, it was clear the negotiations were dicey. “While this is not the agreement any of us would have written, and many of us would like to have seen something quite different, I believe that we have come a very long way on reaching common ground,� Durbin told reporters. Moments later, Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa, chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension
Committee, said he would revisit the whole agreement this fall, when his panel takes up a rewrite of the Higher Education Act. “Can we change it? Sure, we can change it,� Harkin said. “It’s not the Ten Commandments, for God’s sake.� Harkin did little to hide his unhappiness with the compromise but said there were few options to avoid a costly hike on students returning to campus this fall. As part of the compromise, Democrats won a protection for

JOHNSON from Page A1 Apartments on March 22, 2011, knock on apartment doors and shoot the first person who answered, aside from females. Jurors took about two hours to agree with the state, although they returned a not guilty verdict for an additional charge of accessory after the fact to murder, finding Johnson did not help his associates after the shooting. Davis died not long after a shot was fired into his apartment in the late evening hours of March 22 shortly after the victim’s girlfriend answered the door. Testimony indicated Brandon, the suspected killer, had previously gone to a different apartment, but no one answered the door. Stamps testified Wednesday that the initial apartment was chosen because a man had left that unit earlier and shot at Stamps, who was guarding another apartment after a prior altercation between rival gangs. Johnson’s gang connections, and alleged leadership of the local 135 Piru set of the Bloods, was central to the state’s case against him, and Manning attorney Shaun Kent told Seals after the verdict that he thinks the jury judged Johnson based on his gang affiliation, not his guilt in the actual killing. Kent asked for a new trial, but Seals denied that request. “I think they convicted him for being the mem-
ber of a gang, and its possible leader,� Kent said. “I don’t believe they convicted him for his role in the murder.� Members of Johnson’s set, including Stamps, Bradley, Dontae Clayton, and an associate of a prior Bloods-affiliated gang Johnson led, William C. Morgan, however, told jurors this week that Johnson made every decision carried out by the Piru members, including punishments handed out for disobedience. Stamps told jurors that he was even threatened to join the gang. “You either get down with them or they make more problems for you in the future,� Stamps said. “(Johnson) told me to either get down or lay down. That means I’m going to get beat up either way. But it’s worse if you don’t join.� Bradley said Wednesday that Johnson, known by his street name “Bless,� was the “big dog of Sumter� for the Piru, a gang that started in Compton, Calif., and includes sets on the East Coast in New Jersey, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina and Florida. “Bless want you to put in work, ... that means to rob and get other people (wearing rival gang colors),� Bradley said. “Our turf (which included Friendship Apartments) was very important.

Terminate Bynum, no matter the cost BY BLAKE WARD
T
o Chairman Schultz and members of the Sumter School District Board of Trustees: I would like to take this opportunity to first say “thank you” for putting immense pressure on the superintendent to fix the many problems in Sumter School District. Also, thank you to those who have realized that SWEET 16 is an ineffective tool that only puts unnecessary pressure on teachers and a heavy workload on administrators. As a former student, I can attest to the fact that discipline became a joke at Sumter High School the minute administrators started SWEET 16 all simply because they had to focus on SWEET 16 rather than dealing with problematic students. How can teachers teach effecBlake tively if there WARD is no discipline? They can’t. So, thank you for solving a big piece of the problem. I agree that all of these problems as mentioned at the last meeting cannot be resolved overnight. It simply wouldn’t be logical to try to do so. I applaud you all for agreeing to take your time in an effort as it seems to do this right. As a recently graduated student who has observed and has a good idea of how education in Sumter works, as well as a taxpayer and as a leader in the movement for change in the school district’s leadership, I feel as if it would be in the best interest of the students, teachers, parents and the board for Mr. Sterling Harris to be terminated immediately. His taunting of teachers and students (I was stopped by him in the hallway several times by him for him to comment on something I had posted on Facebook) for speaking out against obvious wrongdoing is unacceptable and he has no place in the Sumter community. He obviously agrees with that statement because he chooses to reside in Columbia thus having no real interest in the Sumter community past having a 7-5 job here. Give Harris the boot. There is no other option for Sumter High, the district’s flagship high school, to rebuild. Next, it would be in the best interest of said parties to terminate Dr. Dixon. She pulled the wool over the board’s eyes knowing good and well her ownership of SWEET 16 as it exists in Sumter was a definite conflict of interest and controversy. She obviously is not loyal to the school district or its students and thus deserves no seat in Sumter (or any of our tax dollars, might I add). If she was loyal, she would have had no shame in coming clean about the ownership in the very beginning. Next, I believe that regardless of whatever be part of the plan he releases or will
have released by July 22, Superintendent Randolph Bynum should be terminated no matter the cost. The hole he as dug himself with regard to trust by all members of the community is too deep for him to recover from. Simply put, there is no way that any member of this community can trust him ever again in a manor necessary to improving education in such a dynamic community. Randolph Bynum has to go. Period. Once he is gone, it would be appropriate to reverse all of the personnel moves that he has made (some on the advice of Harris) within the walls of Sumter High. Put Luther Barnett, the most sophisticated and intellectual teacher I’ve ever had, back in the IB program that Sumter High has boasted for almost 10 years. Put Heidi Adler back at her post in the IB program. Put Stephanie Johnston, one of the most loyal members and brightest law teachers I’ve had at Sumter High back at her home on C Hall. For crying out loud, the all-knowing Sterling Harris has accused her of being disloyal. Disloyal? She graduated from Sumter High School. She was a member of Student Government, Prom Committee, Beta Club, etc. The list goes on. Her life has revolved around Sumter High and this selfanointed narcissist has the gall to call her disloyal to her home in the comfort of his closed-door office? Give me a break. All of the moves that he and Bynum have made together obviously, again, are not in the best interests of the students. Board members, please listen to what I tell you. These are the problems. If we allow these opportunistic arrogant bullies to continue, Sumter’s future will be destroyed. Our kids will stand no chance. The history hallway at Sumter High alone will be unrecognizable from three years ago. These teachers who were there three years ago who will no longer be there are as follows: Evelyn Whitmire, Chris Shefer, Steve Corley, Grayson Howell, Herb Keefe, Stephanie Johnston, Nancy Hart (who moved to the remedial education department and has thus gotten a job elsewhere) and John Taylor. That’s easily 200 years of experience that has just walked out the door because of Sterling Harris and Randolph Bynum. Ask any of them if that is the real reason and they will be glad to tell you more. Please. Make it stop. You can save Sumter. You can be my unborn children’s heroes and my grandchildren’s heroes. Your legacy can be remembered for generations as the courageous school board that single handedly saved Sumter’s education. Save Sumter, people. The responsibility lies with you today. I hope to see the changes continue in a positive direction, and I thank you for work so far and your attention to my concerns. Blake Ward is a former student in Sumter School District.
GUEST COMMENTARY
An atmosphere of intimidation can be seen throughout district BY SHIRLEY JAMES
T
o the Sumter School District Board of Trustees: I have been teaching for over 30 years, 16 of those at Alice Drive Elementary School. I want to personally thank you for the efforts you are putting forth to bring about needed changes in our school district. As a product of the former Sumter School District Two and an employee of the former Sumter School District 17, I was delighted when the two districts were consolidated because it unified two important aspects of my life. It also provided Sumter County the opportunity to take the best from two very good school districts and apply them to the newly formed consolidated district — Sumter School District — making us one of the more outstanding school districts. I looked forward to the changes. As a veteran teacher, I feel compelled to share my concerns about the direction in which this district is moving. First, one major change that captured my attention took place on the first day students returned to school during the first year of our current administration. On that day, a representative from the district office was dispatched to each school wearing his/her identification badge with clipboard and pen in hand. The district office representative assigned to our building was pleasant and very helpful. He helped us in any capacity where he saw there was a need. I’ll always remember how he assisted us with the children’s lunch numbers. In spite of his pleasantness and helpfulness, there was something unnerving about the presence of a district representative with a clipboard in the school building the entire week of the first week of the school year. This was the beginning of the creation of an atmosphere of intimidation throughout the entire school district. Second, the next change was the implementation of the Systematic Way to Ensure Effective Teaching, better known as SWEET 16. As the title indicates, this instrument or audit did some of everything except create effective teaching. It further advanced an environment
of intimidation. So much time and energy were spent preparing for the SWEET 16 audit. Why? What was the purpose? How could this instrument have had a positive effect on the quality of my teaching that would have benefited my students? When I was observed Dec. 11, 2012, I did not receive any formal feedback until May 8, 2013. At that late date, how could this instrument have had a positive effect on the quality of my teaching that would have benefited my students? The time that was taken for administrators and other SWEET 16 observers to process their performance reports must have been a tremendous waste of professional time and talent, not to mention cost. These costs included, but were not limited to, paying substitutes to cover teacher observers’ classrooms and costly publications. The observers had to transcribe the observations and these reports were sent to the district office where they remained for quite some time. In addition to the SWEET 16 audits, school administrators were required to make a number of SWEET 16 “walk through” observations each week. Third, during the course of the school year, when teachers attended various workshops, the presenters did not have needed materials to adequately complete the training for the workshops. Fourth, the disciplinary policy requires a lot of teacher documentation which consumes a tremendous amount of time. The steps and levels in the discipline procedure provide a disruptive student too many opportunities to disrupt the learning environment. The disruptive student has rights, but these rights should not infringe on the rights of the students that behave. There have been numerous editorials, commentaries and letters to the editor in The Item, and I hope that you have been reading them because they have been the voices for many of us who have been reluctant to speak out. Mrs. Anita Jones wrote a commentary that appeared in The Item on Sunday, Dec. 30, 2012, that gave a vivid account of

many of the concerns of others throughout the school district. I highly recommend the reading or the re-reading of her commentary to anyone who wants to understand the recent decisions you, the members of the Sumter School District Board, have made and will have to make prior to the July 22 board meeting. There are teachers and other district employees who would gladly express their concerns to you if they were not fearful of losing their positions. Some of us have been reluctant to be seen at certain school board meetings for fear of being reprimanded. I am a district employee who is fearful of voicing my concerns. However, I have decided that the quality of our students’ education is far more important than the risk of my job. If I am reprimanded, I will let you, the Board of Trustees, and the public know, and I will ask for your support. I am not a complainer, and I am one who usually goes through the chain of command, but I do not want to involve anyone other than myself if there are repercussions. This is why I am addressing these concerns in a public format. As Mrs. Jones stated in her commentary, “It is truly a sad time, and it is the students who will suffer the most in the long run.” Therefore, as you prepare to make decisions between now and July 22, I implore you to consider the facts presented to you by district personnel and the members of the community and do what is right, fair and best for our children and for Sumter County. The decisions you have to make are important, but at this point the major ones should not be difficult. They should be about providing our children with a sound educational environment. The recent decision concerning SWEET 16 gives us some hope, but we must have more than hope. We are all stakeholders, and an essential part of our future is in your hands. May God be with you during this important decision-making process. Shirley James is a fifthgrade teacher at Alice Drive Elementary School.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Parents need to speak out about uniforms at Furman Middle I have been reading with interest letters to the editor concerning Sumter School District, in particular, Mr. Bynum, Ms. Dixon and the school board that is the voice for our children. Some of the administrators, including the school board members, should put them first instead of themselves. They should also value teachers. Good teachers can inspire and help children succeed therefore contributing to our society. Which teacher inspired you Mr. Bynum? Unfortunately, some teachers are just there for the pay and like the students, waiting for the day to end and dreading tomorrow. Mr. Bynum, it seems, like you are trying to turn our small town schools into urban schools, I have to wonder, do you receive any incentives? I see our schools on a downward spiral as long as this administration remains. I would like to address another issue: Furman Middle School uniforms. You’re only looking at the negative aspects of not wearing uniforms. You say, there’s less violence, there’s more respect out of the students, less bullying while in uniform because everyone is dressed the same. Whatever happened to freedom of expression? Why not just punish those students that dress inappropriately? Let the kids have some individuality. How humiliating is it to make students wear garbage bags over their feet, and in addition to the humiliation and in-school suspension, they get picked at and bullied. If photographers for school pictures are wondering why parents aren’t buying photos, it’s because when pictures are taken, we choose to dress in our best or favorite at-
|
tire, and parents and students realize that we/ they do not have a choice in what is worn. Navy blue or white? These are such drab colors. Did a male decide them? What happened to freedom of expression? Furthermore, why aren’t school uniforms mandatory for every school within the district? SWEET 16 was implemented in all of the schools. It isn’t fair to students. My daughter would rather attend Alice Drive Middle School or Bates Middle School because uniforms aren’t required. I urge the board to reconsider making uniforms mandatory at only some of the schools within the district. Students and parents of Furman Middle School, please, speak out against uniforms.

Sumter High faculty has never been against change I have heard enough of Sumter High Principal Sterling Harris’ constant refrain that the problems being experienced at the school are due to the faculty members being resistant to change. Nonsense. I served two decades as a faculty member and administrator at Sumter High School. The faculty is not, nor has it ever been against change. They are, however, resistant to incompetent change. Working with the Sumter High faculty is really very easy if the leadership takes the time to work collaboratively with them about pending change. Collegiality is expected and deserved by educational professionals. Suggestions offered by the experienced faculty after collaboration strengthens the end product and serves to gain their support. What follows is support for the change even from fac-
ulty who did not individually agree with the change. The difference in this process and the one currently being imposed by Mr. Harris is that the faculty was informed, allowed to participate and voice their opinions and knew that their professional advice was considered. Above all, they were respected as professionals in the process. It has been my experience that professionals in any endeavor do not react positively to tactics of intimidation, vindictiveness, bullying, threats and retaliation. Unfortunately, these are the most prevalent tactics being employed by the leadership in Sumter School District. This includes Mr. Bynum, Mr. Harris and many others. Mr. Harris has had many embarrassing and noteworthy moments in his brief tenure at Sumter High. My favorite is in his letter to the South Carolina State Department of Education in which he accuses the agency of colluding with Sumter High faculty to thwart the HSAP testing program this year. Supreme arrogance is the only explanation, along with a generous helping of falsifications for his style. The best descriptors I can think of for the leadership style of Mr. Sterling Harris is paranoid, aggressive incompetence. The sooner this leadership experiment is rectified by Sumter School District, the sooner the healing process can begin. It will take years to recover from the chaos created in the past couple of years, but it is necessary that it begin immediately. PHIL COOK, Ed.D. Blairsville, Ga.

Many still don’t understand Zimmerman case After reading Eartha English’s letter of July 17, 2013, I was left wondering how so many people still do not understand what really happened in the case of George Zimmerman vs. Trayvon Martin. I think I may have come up with a better way to explain it so that even those with closed minds or who only see the color of people in a case and not the facts can understand it. “Does our freedom give us the right to gun down a fellow American simply because we suspect he or she is ‘up to no good,’ wearing a hoodie or because of the color of his or her skin?� The answer is no. The continued belief that Mr. Zimmerman was a racist is a media-promoted miscarriage of justice. For those who have done more than listen to CNN or MSNBC we have learned that George and his wife mentored two young black children. That does not sound like something a racist would spend their time doing. Anyone at all who followed this case or listened to the trial knows that George did not simply walk up and gun down Trayvon Martin. According to testimony and evidence, Trayvon was beating George Zimmerman’s head into a concrete sidewalk and that is the reason he was shot. Let me reiterate that, he was not shot because of a hoodie or skin color, he was shot because he was bashing another man’s head into a concrete sidewalk. “There was no denial
that George Zimmerman pulled the trigger, regardless of the excuse he gave for committing the crime.� Well, the evidence shows and so does witness testimony that Trayvon Martin had offensive wounds to his fists while George Zimmerman had defensive wounds to his head. Regardless of the fact that George followed Trayvon, Trayvon did not have a right to attack him or try to bash his head into a concrete sidewalk. If Trayvon felt threatened he should have called the police (something George did do), or run home or to a neighbor, anything but confront the person who is following you. JOHN GAYDOS Wedgefield Editor’s note: Because this letter exceeded the 350-word length as stated in our Editorial Page Policies which appears regularly on this page, it can be read in its entirety under Opinion on The Item’s website, www. theitem.com.
New Jim Crow invented for young black men W.E.B. DuBois said, “The slave went free; stood a brief moment in the sun; then moved back again toward slavery.� Young black men, why are we in record numbers shooting and killing each other and returning to slavery and the New Jim Crow; incarceration for life, sometimes two life sentences. Don’t you realize that the two-strike law and the three-strike law were designed primarily for you? Why are you shooting each other over $200 or $1,000 worth of drugs, something that will ruin your
health and destroy your family life? You are being used to begin with. Why are you the cheap pimp? Why aren’t you the big man? Last time I checked, there were 480 persons in the Sumter County Jail, 380 of them were black. The 380 didn’t get away, what makes you think you could get away? Stop helping the New Jim Crow. Many of your people are dying for your right to vote and get an education. You want to fight and die for something, try that. Stop killing each other and try helping each other. When was the last time you took your younger brother or sister to one of the HOPE Centers and did something positive? When was the last time you hugged your mother or father and told them that you loved them and that you wanted to go to church with them? When was the last time you did something for an elderly person in your family or the community? When was the last time you looked in the mirror and said I need to change my life? When was the last time you said thank you to anyone? Stop the killing. You don’t have to shoot somebody to be a man. It’s better to be able to walk around free than to be locked up and have someone to tell you when to wake up, when to get up, when to sit down, when to eat, when to watch TV, when to go to bed and when you can call your momma. Think about it. The New Jim Crow called incarceration wasn’t invented by you, it was invented for you. FERDINAND BURNS Sumter

JOBLESS from Page A1 that saw their unemployment rates drop in June — Fairfield and York — were also the only two counties in the state to see their labor force shrink. During the past two months, Sumter’s unemployment rate has climbed by 1.6 percentage points, and is threatening to return to the double-digit rates the local area has not seen since January. A year ago, the Sumter County rate sat at 11.0 percent. Statewide the unemployment rate — which unlike county figures is seasonally adjusted — climbed slightly, up 0.1 percentage points to 8.1 percent. Both of South Carolina’s neighboring states saw their unemployment rates remain unchanged and higher than the Palmetto State’s rate, with Georgia sitting at 8.3 percent and North Carolina at 8.8 percent. But while the recent figures from the DEW could cause doubts about the local job market, a recent study by economic developers says the Sumter job outlook appears to be is improving. Newgeography.com,
a website produced in part by the economic development consulting firm Praxis Strategy Group, recently said the Sumter market improved significantly in their “Best Cities for Job Growth” rankings for 2013, climbing some 164 spots in the annual study. Last year, newgeography.com ranked Sumter near the bottom nationally, saying 372 of the 397 other metropolitan areas in the country had a better job market. This year, however, the study said Sumter improved to move to the middle of the pack nationally. With the rapid increase, Sumter passed several regional metropolitan areas in their job outlooks, including both Florence and the AugustaAiken metropolitan areas. For comparison, the city directly below Sumter in the newgeography.com study – Rapid City, S.D. – currently has an unemployment rate of 3.9 percent and last year ranked 73rd in the report.

“That means we need supplies like pencils, pens, notebook paper — both college and wide rule — composition books, three-ring binders, that sort of thing. We’ll accept any quantity.” United Ministries has a list on its website of items needed to complete kits for students. All items on the list should be new, with the exception of gently used books. They should be in at least by July 31, to allow time for packing. Donations are distributed through guidance personnel during the first week of school. Champagne said teachers are careful to distribute the supplies in such a way that no one knows which students receive them. “They’re in a plain bag so nobody else knows where they’re coming from,” he said. United Ministries has received many notes and cards from students who receive the supplies telling how much they meant to them. “We have a volunteer who said she received a kit when she was in school,” Spivey said. “She said it meant a lot to her to have new school supplies like the other kids, and having them enabled her to succeed in her studies. She was volunteering to pay back the deed. “It’s neat to see how it comes back around.” Sometimes, Spivey said, donations more suitable for teachers’ rooms are received, and they are welcomed. These might include Kleenex tissues, hand sanitizer and other items from the list distributed to parents by Sumter School District.

Spivey noted that groups can check the list and choose to donate all or part of one particular item, such as glue sticks or scissors; individuals might choose to put together an entire kit for a single child; or individuals can give one or more items from the list. “We do ask that churches or groups wanting to donate a large number of a particular item call us to be sure we don’t have them already,” she said. Other basic items needed include crayons, ink pens, pencil boxes and pouches, spiral notebooks and primary writing tablets. For a complete list, visit the United Ministries’ website, www.unitedministriessumter.org. Champagne said backpacks are always needed, as well. “This is a great opportunity to provide the necessary school supplies to children who may not have the tools they need to succeed in school,” he said. “It can lighten the burden of feeling unprepared and not being equal with the other students. Let’s help level the playing field for all of Sumter’s schoolchildren.”

Crimson Tide still favorite to win SEC championship BY JOHN ZENOR The Associated Press HOOVER, Ala. — Nick Saban is as hard to distract as he is to beat. Ask the Alabama coach what winning a third straight national title would mean, and he wonders why he’d waste brain juice thinking about it. Compare him to Bear Bryant, and he swiftly dismisses such talk — though it isn’t sounding so farfetched these
days. The Crimson Tide’s ultra-focused coach didn’t let 1,000-plus reporters at Southeastern Conference media days change his process-oriented approach.
Three straight titles sure would be huge, huh? “I don’t think about it in that regard. I never, ever do,” Saban responded before his podium address. “I think the most important thing for me to do is to get our staff, the people in our organization, our players to be as good as this team can be. Can we get them to make a commitment to a standard that is going to let

tournament. “I feel confident that I can throw any of the girls at any time if I need them to get through an inning or two,” Coach Dinkins said of his pitching staff. Another positive the team has going for it is the fact that seven members have played in the Dixie World Series at one time or another. Riley DeLavan, Ellen Dinkins and Daniel each played as Darlings approximately four years ago when Sumter hosted the World Series. Last year, Rebecca Dinkins, Emily Jackson, Chelsie Logan and Josey each played as members of the Angels X-play
After playing practically a game a day for the better part of a month, the Sumter P-15’s can’t seem to find a way to play a game now that the American Legion baseball state playoffs are here, and well, now done for Sumter. After winning their first-round series by forfeit when Lake JOHNSON City didn’t turn in its team roster to national headquarters on time, the P-15’s closed out their second-round series against Hilton Head when the Lowcountry Heat forfeited Game 3 of the best-of-5 series scheduled for Thursday at Riley Park after losing the first two games by a combined score of 29-7. The P-15’s earned a spot in the state tournament, which they will be hosting beginning on Friday, July 26, and running through Wednesday, July 31. By the time the tournament starts, Sumter will have played just two games in three weeks. “This is frustrating,” said Sumter head coach Curtis Johnson, whose team is now 27-5 on the season. “We’re just trying to find a way to play some baseball games right now. It worries you when you get out of your routine.” The game was supposed to be played on Wednesday, but was postponed

BY MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER mchristopher@theitem.com The Sumter Ponytails X-play all-star softball team is hitting on all cylinders after sweeping its way through the South Carolina state tournament. It now hopes to continue its run in the Dixie Softball World Series. Sumter went 5-0 in the state tournament, outscoring its opponents 51-18 for an average of 10.2 runs a game through the tournament. Hitting is what head coach Rob Dinkins said will make or break the team as it travels to Alexandria, La., for the DSWS on Aug. 2-7. “I see what the level of play is and I feel we can play at that level if we need to,” Dinkins said. “I think our girls can step up, and if we keep hitting then we have a good shot of doing well and winning some games. “I feel comfortable with our girls and I think we can go a long way,” Dinkins said. “As long as our girls are hitting, I think we can hit with any team out there.” Sumter will open the World Series against the host team from Alexandria on Saturday, Aug. 2.

FLORENCE— The Sumter O’Zone 11-12 year-old all-star baseball team beat Abbeville twice on Thursday to win the state tournament at Greenwood Athletic Park. Sumter, needing two wins to claim the title, won the first game 4-0 and followed it up with a 5-2 victory. Sumter will now play in the Dixie World Series in Laurel, Miss. It will run Aug. 3-8. Trent Frye tossed a nohitter in the opening game, striking out 14 batters in the 18-out, 6-inning contest. That tied a
record for the O’Zone state tournament. Burgess Jordan led Sumter offensively with a 3-run home run. In the second contest, Sumter won 5-2 behind the pitching of Josh Bryant and Cory Blackley. Sumter advanced to the championship series with an 8-6 victory over defending state champion Midland on Wednesday. Jacob Holladay hit a walk-off 3-run home run to win the game. This is Sumter’s first O’Zone state championship since 2008. Sumter will play the Louisiana state champion in its opening game in the DWS.

Johnson got a call from Seelbach on Thursday morning to tell him the Heat wouldn’t be making the 3-hour trek inland. “I was surprised when I got the call,” Johnson said. “He told me that his players had been texting him and told him they didn’t want to come all the way here to play.” In Monday’s first game at Riley Park, Sumter beat Hilton Head 11-2 before traveling to the coast on Tuesday to post an 18-5 victory.

Johnson said his team would practice on Thursday and then take off until Monday when it will begin to prepare for the state tournament. The P-15’s will be the No. 1 seed from the lower state since it is the only lower state team to go undefeated in the two rounds. One other team had earned a spot in the 8-team tournament as of Thursday’s games. Murrells Inlet swept its series with Goose Creek, closing out the series with a 7-4 victory on Wednesday in Goose Creek. Goose Creek will be part of a play-in to determine the fourth team from the lower state in the state tournament. It usually involves the losers of the three second-round series, but it is unclear whether Hilton Head will participate in it since it forfeited the game to Sumter.
Former USC TE Saunders gets 8-game suspension INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis Colts tight end Weslye Saunders has been suspended eight games without pay after violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances. SAUNDERS League officials did not say Thursday what substance was found in Saunders’ test. He can practice with the Colts throughout training camp and will be eligible to play in preseason games. But he won’t be eligible to play in the regular season until after the Colts’ game Nov. 3 against Houston.
Saunders is no stranger to controversy. Last year, the NFL imposed a four-game suspension on Saunders for violating the same substance policy. The Steelers subsequently released Saunders in October. Indianapolis signed him five days later and he wound up catching two passes for 15 yards with the Colts. He also got into trouble in college. At South Carolina, he was questioned by NCAA investigators about possible contact with an agent and was later suspended by Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier for violations the coach said were not related to the NCAA probe.
Less than a month after first announcing the suspension, in August 2010, Spurrier kicked Saunders off the team. Instead of transferring, Saunders wound up forgoing his final year of eligibility to enter the NFL draft. Saunders is the third Colts player in less than a month to run into trouble off the field. In June, the league announced receiver LaVon Brazill would be suspended for four games for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy. Earlier this month, backup safety Joe Lefeged was arrested in Washington on a gun possession charge. He has not been disciplined by the league.

New players ready to make most of move to Nets NEW YORK — Paul Pierce stared straight ahead, an occasional smile or laugh interrupting the otherwise distant look on his face. Now a Net, it’s clear he’s still getting over not being a Celtic. But he’s getting used to it, and he and Kevin Garnett are ready to make the most of their new surroundings. Traded from Boston to Brooklyn, the duo was introduced along with Jason Terry on Thursday at a news conference at Barclays Center, their new home. Pierce said it was difficult to leave the city where he’d spent his entire career. He appeared dazed at times while listening to questions and answers, even having to ask for one to be repeated while trying to fight his way out of a fog. SHS SWIM TEAM MEETING

IRVING, Texas — Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Josh Brent retired from football at the age of 25 on Thursday, saying “doing the right things in life” is more important as he prepares to defend himself against a manslaughter charge in the drunkendriving crash that killed a teammate. Brent is charged with intoxication manslaughter and faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted, though he could also get probation. Suburban Dallas police accused Brent of driving with a blood-alcohol content more than twice the legal limit the night of the crash. SUMMERHAYS LEADS
MADISON, Miss. —
Daniel Summerhays rebounded from a disappointing finish last week in Illinois to take the lead Thursday in the rain-delayed first round of the Sanderson Farms Championship. Four days after squandering the finalround lead in the John Deere Classic, Summerhays shot a 9-under 63 to open a three-stroke lead. He had an eagle and seven birdies in a bogey-free round at Annandale Golf Club. WALSHE LEADS MARATHON
SYLVANIA, Ohio — Alison Walshe put herself in prime position at the Marathon Classic for her first LPGA Tour victory. Walshe shot a 6-under 65, her best score in her four years

L’ALPE D’HUEZ, France — Tour de France leader Chris Froome is so dominant that even when he loses time for eating an energy bar, he extends his lead. The British rider was hit by a 20-second penalty for taking an energy bar from a teammate near the end of the 18th stage Thursday. But he still increased his advantage over main rival Alberto Contador to more than 5 minutes. From wire reports

They play to their opponent’s level, but they will step up to the next level.” The Ponytails are young with seven of the dozen players eligible to play as Ponytails next year. The youth hasn’t seemed to slow down the team. “Everybody has accepted their roles as players, whether it’s at bat, to play defense or whatever,” he explained. “We’ve got a good group of girls, they get along well and when it’s time to play, they’re ready. It’s like a whole different look on their face when you look at the dugout 10 minutes before the game and their attitude changes.” Sumter opened state with a 7-1 victory over Aynor as Ellen Dinkins allowed two hits over five innings while striking out six. Ellen Dinkins also helped herself offensively, going 3-for-3 with a run batted in. Rebecca Dinkins

went 2-for-3 with two runs scored. Kaylee Posey added two RBI. Sumter then defeated Turbeville 16-6 as Rebecca Dinkins and Daniel combined to pitch a 4-hitter and offensively every player had at least one hit. Sumter followed that by beating Jefferson 7-2 victory as Daniel and Rebecca Dinkins combined for a 1-hitter. Daniel
pitched the first four innings, allowing the lone hit as Dinkins pitched the final two innings, striking out three. Ellen Dinkins had two runs batted and Rebecca Dinkins was 2-for-2 with two runs scored. Sumter’s toughest contest was next, a 7-6 win over Florence in seven innings. Ellen Dinkins pitched a complete game, striking out four while
allowing two hits and two walks. Offensively, Sydney Baity led the team, going 3-for-3 and scoring the gamewinning run. Rebecca Dinkins and DeLavan each went 2-for-3 with a run scored. In the championship game Sumter had to face Jefferson again. It won 14-3 by scoring 12 runs in the bottom of the fifth inning.
“We have girls from (No.) 1 through 12 that can hit the ball and put it in play,” Dinkins said. “I don’t believe we had maybe five strikeouts out of five games throughout the tournament. Our girls stepped up to the challenge, and when we needed them to, they stepped up and outhit these other teams, and that’s how we won.”
PEDs, Pirates and Puig headline second half in MLB BY HOWIE RUMBERG The Associated Press Much of the focus as baseball heads into the second half is on the possible suspensions of Alex Rodriguez, Ryan Braun and a handful PUIG of All-Stars implicated in the Biogenesis performance enhancing drug scandal. Puigmania, a Pirates revival and one impressive power show in Baltimore may shift the gaze back onto the field, where there will be a lot to watch headed down the stretch of the regular season. Fans who have been celebrating Mariano Rivera at every stop of his farewell tour should get a chance to watch returning stars Derek Jeter, Chris Carpenter, A-Rod and even Manny Ramirez after a first half dominated by 20-somethings. The American League won the All-Star game on Tuesday night, giving home-field advantage in the World Series back to the junior circuit after three years of NL dominance. Now the race is on to get to the Fall Classic, and some underachieving preseason favorites are looking to make their moves. Every playoff spot is legitimately up for grabs, with no team leading a division by more than a half-dozen games. And the NL East, where Atlanta is up six on Washington, is the only place where the division leader is ahead by three games or more.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Pittsburgh’s Pedro Alvarez (24) and teammate Russell Martin (55) have reason to celebrate as the Pirates had a strong first half. Much of the focus as baseball heads into the second half is being placed on the possible suspensions of Alex Rodriguez, Ryan Braun and a handful of All-Stars implicated in the Biogenesis performance-enhancing drug scandal. Puigmania, a Pirates revival and one impressive power show in Baltimore should shift the gaze right back onto the field.
What to look for in the second half, that begins Friday: CLOCK IS TICKING
— The Washington Nationals need a healthy Bryce Harper to get into a groove and help them chase down Atlanta. — The big-spending Dodgers are suddenly surging, 17-5 since June 22, thanks to the youthful exuberance of Yasiel Puig, with a smile to match that of owner Magic Johnson. — North of the border, the Blue Jays made the biggest offseason moves but NL Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey’s knuckleball has been mostly off-target and Toronto finds itself in last place in the powerful AL East. But don’t count anyone out in what’s widely consid-
ered the toughest division in the majors. — Pedro Alvarez and the Pittsburgh Pirates appear poised to put 20 years of misery behind them, after two years of teasing their fans by being in the hunt heading into the break only to fade down the stretch. With the Houston Astros now in the AL, the NL Central is one of the most competitive divisions. Reds manager Dusty Baker knew it would be a stiffer challenge this year. “I figured it’d be close, closer, because none of us have the Astros in our division that we were counting on — not to malign them — but they were in our division last year and every team kind of counted on beating
them,” he said. “Now you’ve got to beat each other.” — So far it’s only been California dreamin’ for Josh Hamilton in his first year in Los Angeles, even with Houston in the division. He’ll have to improve on his .224 average, .413 slugging percentage for the Angels to have a shot to overtake Home Run Derby champ Yoenis Cespedes and the pesky A’s. Albert Pujols’ ballclub is 11 games back in the AL West and nine games behind for the wild card. HOMER CRUSH
Baltimore’s big bopper Chris Davis is off on a race of his own. With 37 homers before the break — tying Reggie Jackson (1969) for best ever in the AL — talk of the single-season home
run record is bubbling again. Crush Davis, however, doesn’t have his sights set on Barry Bonds’ 73 homers, he wants to top Roger Maris’ 61, the number he thinks is the legitimate, untainted mark. “After everything came out, I assumed 61 was the record,” Davis said. “I think it’s what a lot of fans would agree on.” Davis, whose previous career high for homers was last year’s 33, needs 25 long balls in 66 games to reach 62. Of course, most of the rest of baseball goes with Bonds’ number, including Davis’ teammate Adam Jones. “He still hit them over the fence,” Jones said. A HALF FOR THE AGED
Move over whippersnappers, the old guard is back — maybe. Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, Matt Harvey, Patrick Corbin and a record 39 first-time AllStars grabbed the spotlight in the first half but expect to see some seasoned stars in the next few weeks that could impact the pennant races. The injury-ravaged Yankees have hung around in the potent AL East with a “Who’s on First?” lineup. Now they should get Derek Jeter back after a one-game false start and Alex Rodriguez’s return from offseason hip surgery is imminent. The St. Louis Cardinals have surged to baseball’s best record in part behind the pitching of some pretty good rookies. Imagine how much better they’ll be if 2005 NL Cy Young
Award winner Chris Carpenter is fully recovered from a nerve injury and bad back. Talking about back, how about Manny Ramirez — all the way from Taiwan? The twice suspended slugger is hitting .300 with three homers in eight games for Texas’ top minor league club, Triple-A Round Rock, and the Rangers are in need of a big righty bat. Could it be the dreadlocked Ramirez? WHEELIN’ AND DEALIN’
After pushing their payroll over $200 million this offseason, don’t expect the Dodgers to sit quietly as the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline approaches. They got an early start acquiring Ricky Nolasco from the Marlins to bolster the rotation and could make further moves. The resurgent Red Sox might be on the lookout for another reliever after picking up left-hander Matt Thornton when lefty Andrew Miller was lost for the season with an injury. Teams hoping to fill a spot in the rotation can call Cubs executive Theo Epstein. Matt Garza is up for grabs and he’s one of the most prominent names fans will hear a lot of in the next two weeks. The flagging Phillies could look to move infielder Michael Young. The pitching-rich Giants might try to trade Tim Lincecum after he threw a no-hitter just before the break. If A-Rod is unable to play because of his hip, expect the Yankees to look for a corner infielder. Pitchers Phil Hughes and Joba Chamberlain could be the bait.

BRITISH from Page B1 Woods has plenty of experience winning majors — he’s got 14 of ‘em — but it’s been more than five years since he captured the last one, the longest drought of his career in the tournaments that matter most. Woods also got off to a strong start, posting an impressive 69 in the increasingly difficult conditions of the afternoon. Don’t get too worked up about his chances just yet, however. He shot 67 in the opening round at each of his last two Opens, only to watch someone else leave with the claret jug. Woods faded to 23rd at St. Andrews in 2010, skipped a year because of injuries, and tied for third at Lytham. This one didn’t begin so well for the world’s topranked player. Woods yanked his very first shot off a lone tree far left of the fairway and was forced to take an unplayable lie, leading to bogey. But a stretch of three birdies in four holes after the turn moved Woods into contention, and he added another twoputt birdie at the par-5 17th set up by a couple of iron shots that just kept rolling and rolling on turf that played more like a tabletop. “It was tough,” Woods said. “The golf course progressively got more dried out and more difficult as we played. I’m very pleased to shoot anything even par or better.” Rory McIlroy, ranked No. 2 in the world, is still trying to recapture the form he showed last August, when he won his second major title with a runaway victory at the PGA Championship. At the moment, he’s not even close. The 24-year-old from Northern Ireland hacked his way to a 79 — the second-worst round of his Open career and the continuation of a baffling slump that began after he changed equipment. The only time McIlroy shot worse in the Open was an 80 at St. Andrews in 2010, but that was more a product of a brutal wind than poor shots.
GULLANE, Scotland— Carl Pettersson’s golf bag was a little bit lighter. And the burly Swede didn’t stand quite so tall Thursday in the British Open. All because of his putter. Pettersson has used a long putter that he anchors to his chest since he was in college at North Carolina State. For the first time in a major — for the first time that it really mattered — he switched to a conventional putter on Thursday at Muirfield. “Putted nice,” Pettersson said without even being asked a question. The USGA and R&A adopted a new rule in May that will ban the anchored stroke starting in 2016. Pettersson was among those who were strongly opposed to the rule, and he was one of the players singled out as how the ban might affect a career. The broom-handled putter is all he has used as a pro. He has put in thousands upon thousands of hours practicing with it. But he also realizes change is coming. Pettersson used what he called a “split claw” grip, in which the bottom of the putter handle near the shaft rests between his right thumb and forefinger. “Since this rumor of the ban came out last year, I grabbed a couple of regular putters — regular length — and put my hand on it and gripped down on the shaft,” he said. “And it felt pretty good. It was not serious practice, but I hit a few. It’s essentially the same grip with the right hand, so I just had to change the left hand. It’s the

same motion I’ve been doing with a long putter. It’s just not anchored.” A week after the U.S. Open, Pettersson was at the Travelers Championship when he saw a bunch of putters and thought about changing. “We always have a Tuesday game, a gambling game, and I used it in that and made nine birdies,” Pettersson said. “I was going to put it in at Hartford but I didn’t have the (guts) to do it.” Pettersson first used the conventional putter in the final round of the John Deere Classic, where he was at the bottom of the pack. He shot 70 and tied for 54th. “It was nerve-racking at the John Deere,” he said. “If it hadn’t gone well, I would be back to square one. But I did nice. I holed all the putts you’re supposed to hole. I didn’t run the tables, but it
was nice.” The real test was the British Open on Thursday, when he essentially started out in a tie for the lead. And he had no complaints, especially after making a 30-foot birdie putt on the opening hole. More pleasing was that he didn’t three-putt in his round of 74. Is that the end of the long putter forever? “I can’t say forever. Well, we only have two more years,” Pettersson said. ODE TO THE 2-IRON: Dustin Johnson wasn’t tempted by the firm links of Muirfield to make any changes in his bag, such as putting in a 2-iron instead of a 5-wood. That 2-iron appears to be gone for good. The last time Johnson said he had a 2-iron in his bag was Sunday afternoon at Royal St. George’s in the 2011 British Open. He was challenging for the lead on the par-5 14th hole when he tried to lay up with a 2-iron and it sailed way to the right, out-ofbounds. He never recovered, finishing runner-up by three shots behind Darren Clarke. That shot stuck with him. Johnson believes if he had hit a 5-wood, even with a poor swing he wouldn’t have lost as much to the right. Besides, he tried out the 2-iron on a Trackman radar device and found it only goes about 7 yards longer than his 2-iron. “I tried a 2-iron on the range and it lasted for about five minutes,” he said. The real difference, though, was Royal St. George’s. That was the last time he hit one in competition.
Long day and good score for Woods BY TIM DAHLBERG The Associated Press GULLANE, Scotland — By the time Tiger Woods finally made his way up to the 18th green, the bleachers were half empty and long shadows crept across the fairway. If Woods needed to be reminded how long this day was, the clock on the giant yellow scoreboard read 7:37 p.m. — more than five hours after he teed off. The major championships are usually grinds, but for anyone playing in the afternoon Thursday the first round of the British Open proved more of a test than ever. The wind was blowing harder than expected, the golf course was drying up by the minute, and anything around par was a score to be respected. And there was Woods, feeling awfully good about a 2-under 69

that had to give him hope his five-year drought in the major championships might come to an end this week on a golf course playing like it is in the middle of a drought. “It was tough,” Woods said. “The golf course progressively got more dried out and more difficult as we played. I’m very pleased to shoot

anything even par or better.” A day that began with a near catastrophe off the first tee ended with a six-footer that found the center of the cup on the 18th green. Hardly surprising since Woods had 10 one-putts as he scrambled his way around the links course for one of the better scores of the afternoon.
He was three shots off the lead set by Zach Johnson, who was part of a morning surge of players who took advantage of easier conditions to set the pace. More importantly, perhaps, Woods has a morning tee time of his own Friday on a course that at least for the first day was set up to favor the early players. “The guys that played early had a huge, huge break,” Phil Mickelson said after shooting a 69 himself in the morning. “Because even without any wind, it’s beyond difficult.” That Woods managed to break 70 in the afternoon was impressive enough. That he did it after nearly snap hooking a 3-wood out of bounds on his opening tee shot and having to take an unplayable when the ball nestled in a deep clump of unruly grass was doubly so.

them play at a high level on a consistent basis that they are capable of? “And if we do that maybe we’ll give ourselves a chance, and I think that’s the goal. That’s what I think about. That’s what we focus on. That’s what we try to get accomplished with the players.� Saban has won two straight championships and three of the last four after claiming another one at LSU. Can observers fairly say he’s reaching Bear-ified air? “I don’t think I have any reason that anybody should do that. I think Bear Bryant is probably the greatest coach in college football in terms of what he accomplished, what his legacy is,� said Saban, citing not only the titles but how Bryant influenced his players’ lives. “There’s no way that we have done anything close to what he’s done in terms of his consistency over time, how he changed what he did to impact the times. They threw the ball and won. They ran the wishbone and won. He changed tremendously to do what he needed to do to be successful.� The Tide has been mostly driving the Rolls Royce of football conferences since Saban got the program rolling. The SEC has won the last seven national titles. Even losses to top contenders Texas A&M last year and LSU two years ago have been mere speed bumps to an Alabama program
with the sturdiest of shock absorbers. Bama barely pulled out wins over both LSU and then Georgia in the SEC title game last season. Once again — as the Tigers’ Les Miles points out — the Tide doesn’t have to play East powers Georgia, Florida or South Carolina in the regular season. LSU, meanwhile, faces Georgia and Florida. “There can never be an equal path to the championship,� said Saban, the lone coach who voted for a nine-game league schedule in the spring. “Unless everybody plays everybody, that’s the only equal path to the championship. “Everybody doesn’t play everybody in the NFL. You rotate your schedule.� Quarterback AJ McCarron has started on two of the national title teams and been around for all three. He adhered to the seemingly ingrained philosophy in Saban’s program of avoiding using that dynasty word for the Tide’s current run. “We know what we have achieved,� McCarron said. “We don’t need one word to describe what we’ve accomplished as a team and as a university as a whole.� Offensive lineman Anthony Steen isn’t quite so reticent on what a fourth title in five years would mean. “I can’t explain how special that would be,� Steen said. “I know all the guys are thinking about it, but we’re just focusing on the first game.�

Trapped in a time warp with ‘Teen Beach Movie’ BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH Few things are more review-proof than a Disney musical. So I’m not surprised I didn’t get anything to screen for “Teen Beach Movie” (8 p.m., Disney, TV-G). To be honest, I’m a little relieved. Viewers in this desired demographic, as well as their beleaguered parents, have already been saturated by marketing for “Teen Beach Movie.” Not to mention plenty of chances to buy or download songs from the movie musical within a movie musical. Set in the present day, “Teen” concerns a young girl, McKenzie (Maia Mitchell), who finds herself caught in the whirlwind of the production of a retro beach movie set in the surf-crazed 1960s. Make that the early 1960s, before things got rebellious, crazy and experimental and young people seemed to recoil from Disney’s rather plastic view of reality. McKenzie is not the only one apparently caught in a time warp. It seems current popular culture aimed at teens and tweens is trapped in a circular loop, forever repeating the safest period of post-rock pop history, the bland era between the end of rock’s dangerous beginnings and the arrival of the British Invasion and the creative tumult that followed. “Teen” reflects and celebrates a time when youth culture itself was defanged by adults. Chuck Berry went to prison, Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis fell into disgrace, Buddy Holly fell from
the sky and Elvis was drafted into the Army. Record buyers were sold a bill of prefab heartthrobs like Pat Boone, Fabian, Frankie Avalon and assorted Mousketeers. More than a half century later, Disney still won’t mess with the formula. Like the singers from that era, today’s teen talents come and go quickly — often interchangeably. In an era dominated by retro culture like “American Idol,” “The Voice” and “High School Musical,” it’s really the managers and the marketers who matter. Do movies like “Teen Beach Movie” really count as youth culture, or merely marketing? • “Teen Beach Movie” viewers can stick around for “Liv & Maddie” (9:45 p.m., Disney, TV-G), about identical twins reunited after Liv “retires” from her hit musical TV show. Not unlike the twin madness from the period discussed above, the era of the original “Parent Trap” (1961) and “The Patty Duke Show” (1963).
Tonight’s Other Highlights • A teen victim’s reputation does not survive his autopsy on “Bones” (8 p.m., Fox, r, TV-14). • FBI interference raises eyebrows on “The Following” (9 p.m., Fox, r, TV-14). • Phil has a cash flow problem on “Warlocks Rising” (9 p.m., Discovery, TV-14). • Meg and Ike collaborate on “Magic City” (9 p.m., Starz, TV-MA). • Drivers of gas-guz-
zlers come under fire on “Blue Bloods” (10 p.m., CBS, r, TV-14). • A vintage Harley stars on “Philly Throttle” (10 p.m., Discovery, TV-14). • A wedding party goes aloft in a leafy bed and breakfast on the season finale of “Treehouse Masters” (10 p.m., Animal Planet, TV-PG). • Scorned females can be murder on the season premiere of “Deadly Women” (10 p.m., ID, TV-14).
Series Notes “Undercover Boss” (8 p.m., CBS, r, TV-PG) * Capture the flag on “Camp” (8 p.m., NBC, r, TV-14) * An invention to ease the commute on “Shark Tank” (8 p.m., ABC, r, TV-PG) * “Whose Line Is it Any-

The friendship between a Frenchman and an Austrian (Oskar Werner and Henri Serre) survives their affection for the same woman (Jeanne Moreau), and even World War I, in the 1961 New Wave drama “Jules and Jim” (10 p.m., TCM), directed by Francois Truffaut.
