ike many small, rural towns in South Carolina, the hustle and bustle that once marked the community of Mayesville has long since faded. The rails where steam engines once stopped to load and unload passengers and the cotton produced by local farms were ripped out decades ago. The train station was torn down three years later when lack of maintenance made the once picturesque station a hazard. The heart of the community has never stopped beating, however, and, to this day, Mayesville residents retain a great deal of pride in their hometown. One man who has dedicated nearly four decades to keeping the community together is Bill Rhodes, who recently retired as

the town’s clerk. “He’s been town clerk as long as I can remember; he has done a tremendous job,” said Town Councilor Nancy Williams, who has been on the Council for nine terms. “Everything that we’ve done he’s been involved in,” she said. “In a nutshell, he’s just been a tremendous asset to this community and he still is.” Rhodes’ roots in the community go deep. He and his wife, Rose Norton Rhodes, live in a 140-yearold home built by one of his ancestors they lovingly restored more than a decade ago. His great, great grandfather owned the first store in town, right next to the depot, he said, but the store and the depot were burned down during Potter’s raid in the Civil War. Bill Rhodes said he attended school the Oswego School in

BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com Saturday’s kickboxing event at the Sumter National Guard Armory is part of a resurgence of the sport in the Southeast, according to International Kickboxing Federation Southeast Director of Operations Johnny Davis. Because of the popularity of the mixed martial arts scene, kickboxing had nearly died out, he said. After spending more than DAVIS two decades in California, the two-time world kickboxing champion came back to the Southeast and starting working to revive the sport. “When I first came back, MMA was all they did; kickboxing wasn’t even a thought,” he said. “Now, the MMA promotes are doing kickboxing on their shows too, and some of the guys who used to do only MMA are only doing kickboxing.” A similar change has taken place among boxing promoters, he said. “What does that tell you; we’ve made some ground,” ROBINSON Davis said. A big part of that resurgence has been because of the efforts of local promoters such as Jerome Robinson, who owns Team Robinson MMA in Sumter.

Nick Young’s kick is blocked by Aaron Bagett during Team Robinson MMA’s kickboxing match Saturday night at the National Guard Armory. Robinson said he has been teaching martial arts and self-defense for more than 15 years, but the promotion side is new to him. He promoted his first kickboxing show in March, also at the National Guard Armory. “I had a lot to learn,” he said. “The training side is a lot easier than the promoting side, I can tell you that.”

Robinson said Davis has been a great teacher. “I’ve learned so much; Davis has helped me a lot,” he said. “I think I am a perfectionist, but he takes it to a whole new level.” Choosing the International Kickboxing Federaion as a sanctioning body was also an important choice, Robinson said.

“I saw how detailed the IKF is when it comes to putting on fights, from the weight classes to the doctors, the have it covered,” he said. “I knew it was the right thing to get sanctioned through them.” The first federation event in March showed there is a fan base for

A look ahead at Tuesday’s state, local primaries BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com Registered voters belonging to the two major political parties will have their opportunity to choose their party’s nominees for state and county offices during the South Carolina Primary Election on Tuesday. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Successful candidates in the primary will be selected to represent their party in the Nov. 8 General Election.

Voters may cast an absentee ballot by mail or in-person at their local Voter Registration Office any time until 5 p.m. Monday. While many races do not contain candidates from both political parties, Sumter County Voter Registration Director Patricia Jefferson said petition candidates may still enter the contests.

or the Sumter School Board. Only one race is contested on the Republican Ballot in Sumter and Lee counties. GOP voters in Congressional District 5 will choose a candidate for the office of U.S. House of Representatives between Mick Mulvaney, the incumbent, and Ray Craig, of Rockville.

Sumter County motorists won’t see road improvements anytime soon BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com Legislation passed by the South Carolina General Assembly and signed by Gov. Nikki Haley will allow the state to borrow $2.2 billion to begin making improvements to South Carolina’s deteriorating roads. Local residents won’t see more orange barrels any time soon, however. S.C. Department of Transportation Communications Director Pete Poore said there will not be any new road construction in the county until next year. “Keep in mind this is a 10-year project,” he said. “It will take some time for money to accumulate.” The new money will only fund bridge repair, and some Interstate projects such as “Malfunction Junction,” the intersection of Interstates 20 and 26 in Columbia, he said. Poore said a number of bridges in Sumter County are among those which will be repaired or upgraded using the new money, but none of the Interstate projects involve Sumter County. When it comes to road resurfacing,

Poore said the state takes an “as needed” approach. “We will evaluate exactly which roads need attention,” he said. Haley echoed the sentiments of many in state government who say the new funding is just a start to fixing the state’s deteriorating roads. “To claim this law as anything close to a victory, to represent it in any way as a true solution to our infrastructure problems” would be deceiving the public, she said in a letter to legislative leaders she sent along with the signed law. SCDOT Secretary Christy Hall said the department has already started working on a plan to construct the projects the money will fund. “We have already started the process of outlining a plan to deliver the complex interstate and bridge projects over the next decade,” she said. “We will also diligently implement the administrative reforms and use this as an opportunity to increase our transparency to the public through revised reporting to the SCDOT Commission.” The bill allowing for $2.2 billion in borrowing during 10 years for infra-

structure is funded with $200 million annually in existing fees and vehicle sales taxes. Hall has said that frees up other money the agency can use to replace bridges and pave roads, allowing more than $4 billion worth of total work. The DOT has said it needs an additional $1.5 billion annually during the next several decades to bring the nation’s fourth-largest highway system to good condition. Hall said she anticipates the calls for reform and funding of transportation infrastructure will continue. “I am looking forward to the 2017 legislative session in order to continue the dialogue over the search for sustainable sources of revenue and to address the governance cloud that remains,” she said. “The goal will be to bring us much closer to providing a highway system in good condition that will be able to adapt as South Carolina continues to grow and to ensure our citizens that the funds are spent wisely on statewide priorities.” The Associated Press contributed to this article.

Vertical Lounge offers family-friendly entertainment FROM STAFF REPORTS When a couple prepared for the opening of The Vertical Lounge in Bishopville last year, they ran out of paint for the last wall that needed paint. Instead of buying another bucket of paint, they signed their names on the wall. A year and a half after opening the lounge, that wall sports hundreds of signatures and even some short messages from people who visit the 4,500-square-foot coffee house. One couple from New York City had visited the Christian lounge’s website, www.theverticalloungesc. com, and while traveling through the area stopped in Bishopville to visit the place. They thought they were in the wrong city, said Marita Kinney, coowner of the lounge and a best-selling author who just put the finishing edit marks on her latest manuscript. Kinney assured the couple they have found the nirvana they were looking for. By the time they left, they signed their names on the wall. Kinney’s husband, Demoine, often travels the U.S. as a family-friendly comedian. He’s performed in most Funny Bones clubs, churches and corporate events. At the same time, Marita has published more than 30 books focusing on adult Christian fiction and nonfiction. Marita’s best-sell-

ers on Amazon.com include “The Snow’s Meltdown” and “Not tonight, I’m tired,” a relationship book the couple wrote together. While Demoine Kinney spends a lot of time in clubs, while traveling, Marita searches out free Wi-Fi locations. They discovered a need in Bishop-

ville for a family-friendly lounge Christians can feel comfortable taking their children into. “We saw the gap in the market and wanted to provide an environment conducive to that, and that is how the idea for The Vertical Lounge was birthed,” Marita Kinney said.

They opened The Vertical Lounge on Jan. 5, 2015, as a gathering place for Christians with free Wi-Fi, coffee drinks and a bounce house for children in a relaxing atmosphere that includes couches where people can collaborate or work alone. The concept has gone over so well, some Bible study groups meet regularly as well as a writers’ guild, a songwriters’ group, an acting workshop and even wannabe comedians. In fact, the first Friday of each month, they host an open mic where singers or comedians can perform. At the same time, Marita Kinney said some people are too intimidated to go to church but would like to just visit with someone or find resources about Christianity. The Vertical Lounge offers a comfortable environment for those who are seeking answers or want to share their faith with others, she said. To keep the doors open, the couple rents the facility for special occasions such as birthday parties, baby showers, conferences and concerts. They also ask for a donations at some regularly scheduled events. Before you go to the lounge, check the lounge’s website at www.theverticalloungesc.com or call (803) 692-6032. You can email them at FBMOC2014@ gmail.com. Or, if you just want to see the writing on the wall, go to 229 N. Main St. in Bishopville.

KICKBOXING FROM PAGE A1 kickboxing in Sumter. “Last time it was standing room only,” Davis said. “As a matter of fact, half of the people were standing.” Robinson, who was born and raised in Sumter, said the community support he receives gives him an opportunity to do something he enjoys. “I’m able to do what I love to do, coaching and teaching, especially my young people — training them to be bulletproof,” he said. “It’s not just the kids. The adults have a chance to work out and get fit.” Robinson said sanctioned matches give his kickboxers the opportunity to test their ability against new fighters. “I tell the guys it is very important to hone your skills against other competitors,” he said. “Sometimes people get really good in

their own gym, working out, training and sparring. They build up a lot of confidence, but they are used to their guys. You put them in there against somebody brand new — that is the true test of how far their skill has progressed.” He said he wants the sanctioned bouts to be a platform for guys that are looking to go forward in their kickboxing careers. Davis said the federation gives fighters and promoters a huge database of information to work with. “Once they fight in one show, the other promoters are looking at that,” he said. “They say ‘Hey, this person is pretty good; I need a person at this weight.’ They will contact the trainer and before you know it, they are fighting in in Myrtle Beach or Florida.”

GOP insiders pressure Trump to avoid controversy NEW YORK (AP) — Weary Republicans are looking for assurances that Donald Trump can maintain the discipline needed to stay on message as he prepares for a bruising general election runup against Hillary Clinton. Trump’s conciliatory, teleprompter-guided victory speech Tuesday appeared to stave off — at least for the time being — a near-revolt for his racially divisive attacks against the American-born judge of Mexican heritage hearing the case against his now-defunct Trump University. As he kicked off his general election campaign Friday, a thorny question has arisen: How does the party keep Trump in check? “A primary campaign against 16 opponents is very different and combative in a different way than a general election against a well-organized, well-funded Clinton machine,” said Rep. Chris Collins, who has been helping to coordinate Trump’s outreach to Congress. Collins said he understood there would be lingering questions about Trump after the distracting episode, but said the speech was part of what he sees as a “total pivot” by the candidate. “Mr. Trump is a very smart guy and wants to win,” he said after a weekly gathering with Trump staff on Thursday. “I’m convinced we’ll see a very disciplined GOP nominee moving forward.” The judge episode arguably marked the biggest crisis of Trump’s campaign to date, and sparked a series of phone calls from concerned Republicans, including House Speaker Paul Ryan, pressing the gravity of the situation. “I explained exactly what I thought about that comment. I said it publicly, and I said it privately,” Ryan said in an interview that aired on “Good Morning America” Friday. “I don’t know what’s in his heart,” he added. “But I do think, hope and believe that he’s going to improve the tenor of the campaign, the tone of the campaign, the kind of campaign that he’s going to run.” It remains to be seen, however, how deeply Trump has internalized the message. Since launching his campaign, Trump has pushed back against calls by some of his closest aides and family members to adopt a more “presidential tone.” His fiery language and penchant for controversy has earned him endless free media attention and energized voters during the primaries, helping him secure victory.

“You think I’m going to change? I’m not changing,” he boomed at a press conference recently. Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski dismissed the idea of an intervention and downplayed the significance of the victory speech noting that Trump has used teleprompters on multiple occasions to deliver specific remarks. “From time to time, he’ll use it. But’s a function of the audience and what he wants to say. I can guarantee you this: In Richmond tonight, it will not be a teleprompter speech,” he said. Indeed, Trump was already showing signs that general election Trump will sound a lot like primary Trump. He tweeted “Pocahontas is at it again!” Friday morning, using his favored nickname for Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who officially endorsed Clinton Thursday evening and met with her Friday. At a rally later in Richmond, Virginia, he evoked the nickname yet again, saying “Pocahontas is not too happy!” That prompted some in the crowd to break out into Indian war cries. Trump — indeed, not using a teleprompter — delivered a speech that sounded like the ones from his rallies during the primaries, delivering familiar riffs about the Mexican border wall, claiming he was “the least racist person you’ll see” and suggesting that Clinton “hates” President Obama. Speaking in a 12,000-personcapacity arena that was only

about one-third full, he also mused that he might hold a “Winners Night” at the Republican convention next month during which various

sports heroes would appear. To try to keep Trump, who is notoriously resistant to advice, on track, some on his team are turning more to his

grown children — Eric, Don Jr. and Ivanka, as well as Ivanka’s husband, Jared Kushner — in the hope that they can exert influence. In addition to giving them more public roles, some campaign aides have been pushing for them to travel more with the candidate, according to a person familiar with the efforts, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about private discussions.

French artist discovers U.S. by painting strangers BY WILLIAM J. KOLE The Associated Press BOSTON — New to Boston, Parisian artist Aurélie Galois took a deep breath, gathered her oil paints and ventured forth on a unique mission to get acquainted with her adoptive city: Every Friday, for an entire year, she painted a portrait of a stranger. Along the way, she poked holes in her own preconceptions about Americans. The results — “Friday Face,” a collection of all 52 spontaneous works and the poignant handwritten vignettes Galois scribbled about each of her subjects — are on display at the French Cultural Center in Boston. “When you move to the U.S., you think you know the American culture, but you don’t — it’s only what you know from famous people,” she said. “After a while, you realize it’s a very exotic place. I got to know Boston better just by encountering people and being very observant. I realized this country is made up of people, not clichés. Every person broke down a stereotype.” Galois, 38, began the project as an experiment in May 2014, not long after moving to Massachusetts with her Harvard University scientist partner and their children. Craving conversation, she was a regular at a local café when she realized the strangers around her were a means of discovery. She started with no particular aim, introducing herself, snapping a few iPhone photos for reference and chatting up her new friends for two or

Her questions, she said, weren’t softballs: “Tell me about your parents. Tell me about where you were born. Tell me about what your dreams were as a kid.” Amazingly, not a single person she approached shut her down — something she doubts could have happened back in Paris, where she worked as a magazine editor and journalist. “It was extraordinary,” Galois said. “They told me things they never told anyone else. Many times I had goosebumps.” Back in her studio near Fenway Park, she painted quick, loosely rendered portraits. Each is paired with a single page of her observations, writ-

ten in nearly flawless English. “I love faces. Nothing fascinates me more than the human face,” she said. “I was like a vampire: ‘This lip is like this; that eyelid is like that.’ I wanted to catch their essence. You know how when you close your eyes, you have an image of a person? That’s always the

one I paint.” After about 10 portraits, Galois realized she had the makings of an exhibition. Without intending to, she had captured a cross-section of society very diverse in age, gender, race, ethnicity, faith and sexual orientation. Her subjects ranged from

South African-born kosher butcher Louis Bolnick to black oncologist Karen Winkfield and renowned novelist and poet Joyce Carol Oates. Visitors to “Friday Face,” on show through July 2, say they’re moved by the humanity the 52 portraits and vignettes represent. “It’s absolutely fascinating. I’ve never seen anything like this before,” said Kathleen Horstmeyer, of Chester, Connecticut, touring the exhibition this week. “It takes a lot of confidence to invite strangers into your conversations.” Galois said she discovered some common threads that became the ties that bind these snapshots: a sense of American patriotism and optimism; the gratitude of those who have immigrated here; the surprising preponderance of tattoos. “It’s really interesting when an individual artist comes up with a wild project and then sees it through,” said one of Galois’ subjects, Jason McCool, 41, a doctoral student in musicology. “You don’t have to ask for permission to make art — you just do it. She’s got people talking. It’s amazing.”

Death in hot spring shows challenges park rangers face

The Norris Geyser Basin is seen in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, in 2009. No remains were found of a man who reportedly fell into a hot spring at Yellowstone National Park on Tuesday. Officials said the safety of park personnel was a top concern during the search in the popular Norris Geyser Basin. The man is presumed dead.

Misbehavior of Yellowstone visitors increases

AP FILE PHOTO

BY MATTHEW BROWN The Associated Press BILLINGS, Mont. — The death of a tourist who left a boardwalk and fell into a boiling, acidic spring in Yellowstone National Park on Tuesday shows the challenges that rangers face as they confront soaring numbers of visitors — including some who break the rules. No significant human remains were left to recover after Colin Nathaniel Scott, 23, of Portland, Oregon, slipped on some gravel and into the treacherous water, authorities said. He was on a college graduation trip with his sister and might not have realized he was breaking park rules by leaving the pathway, a former colleague from Pacific University said. His death comes amid a spike in visitor misbehavior as the 2.2 million-acre park gets more crowded, drawing tourists never exposed to wilderness on such a large scale. Scott and his sister went off the boardwalk in a geyser basin dotted with dangerous boiling springs and where warning signs sometimes go unheeded. “This is not a resort. This is not a zoo. This is not a farm or ranch. This is a place that will kill you, and people are not used to that,” Yellowstone historian Lee Whittlesey said. The nation’s first national park has seen a string of recent incidents where tourists got into trouble. People got too close to wildlife, and others entered dangerous areas in violation of regulations, often to take photos or videos. Six people were videotaped Wednesday by other visitors who saw them walking off the trail at Grand Prismatic Spring, Yellowstone officials said. A ranger escorted the six to a parking area and gave them citations. A record 4.1 million people visited Yellowstone in 2015. The numbers are up again this year, by 15 percent compared with the same period last year, according to figures released Thursday. After Scott’s sister reported the fall, rangers navigated over the highly fragile crust of Norris Geyser Basin to try to recover his body. They halted the effort “due to the extreme nature and futility of it all,” park spokeswoman Charissa Reid said. Only some of Scott’s personal possessions were recovered at the popular attraction, where water tem-

peratures can reach 199 degrees. Scott graduated on May 21 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Oregon’s Pacific University, where he also worked in the registrar’s office. He was the top student in his program and planned to enter a doctoral program at Portland State University in the fall, registrar Anne Herman said. “He was not a rule-breaker in any way, shape or form,” she said, describing Scott as a “dream kid” who was wellliked and polite. “Maybe at some point they didn’t know they were supposed to go in some direction” and inadvertently left the designated trail, Herman said. Scott had previously worked at the Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve in Oregon, volunteering at the education center as part of a work-study program through Pacific University, said Mary Loftin, a manager at the Hillsboro, Oregon, parks and recreation department. His death came in one of the hottest and most volatile areas of Yellowstone, where boiling water flows just beneath a thin rock crust. Visitors must keep to designated boardwalks when moving among the park’s hot springs and geysers that blast steaming water high into the air, Yellowstone Superintendent Dan Wenk said. He said Scott’s death was a reminder to follow park rules. At least 22 people are known to have died from hot spring-related injuries in and around Yellowstone since 1890, park officials said. The last occurred in 2000, when a 20-year-old woman working for a park concessionaire died after falling into a hot spring while walking off trail with two friends at night. The list also includes at least two people who died after trying to swim in a hot spring, according to Whittlesey, author of the book “Death in Yellowstone.” “There are few true accidents,” Whittlesey said. “In my opinion, almost all of the incidents are attributable to someone’s negligence.” By comparison, nine people have been killed by grizzly bears in Yellowstone, at least six by lightning strikes and more than 100 by drowning, Whittlesey wrote. The No. 1 cause of death is traffic incidents, with anywhere from one to 15 fatalities a year on park roads, he said.

2 incumbent S.C. congressmen face challenges CHARLESTON (AP) — Three congressional seats are up for grabs next week in South Carolina, including one held by an incumbent GOP congressman who as governor came under fire for lying about his whereabouts when he was out of the country with a woman who wasn’t his wife. Republican U.S. Rep. Mark Sanford is one of two congressional incumbents to face challengers in the primary. The other is Mick Mulvaney. On the Democratic side, two candidates will face off for the right to take on GOP incumbent Joe Wilson in November. Sanford faces state Rep. Jenny Horne of Summerville in the Lowcountry’s 1st District, the race that has attracted the most attention. In the 5th District along the North Carolina border, Mulvaney, first elected six years ago, faces Ray Craig of Lake Wylie.

1ST DISTRICT Sanford has a decided edge over Horne in terms of money on hand for the final push in the race between the two candidates. While governor, Sanford disappeared for five days in 2009 telling his staff he was hiking the Appala-

chian Trail only to confess on his return that he had been in Argentina with a woman who later became his fiancee. He later agreed to pay $74,000 in ethics fines — the most in state history — to resolve dozens of travel-related ethics charges related to the trip. He was elected again to his old congressional seat in 2013. Horne, an eight-year state House veteran from Summerville, attracted national attention last year for her impassioned speech in Columbia calling for the removal of the Confederate flag after the slayings of nine black parishioners at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston. Federal Election Commission filings show Sanford has spent just under $100,000 in the election cycle that began Jan. 1, 2015 and had $965,000 entering the final weeks of the campaign. Horne had spent almost $120,000 but had only $3,700 on hand. The two met in one debate, in which, among other things, they disagreed about Donald Trump. Sanford said if Trump is elected, he will work with him when possible, but he also remarked that Trump “says some things which are very, very strange, some of which are destruc-

tive.” Horne countered that Trump is helping the GOP to grow and “what Donald Trump is appealing to is the anger and frustration that a lot of us feel in the U.S.” The victor of the race will be considered the favorite to win the Republican-leaning district in November’s contest against Democrat Dimitri Cherny, Libertarian Michael Grier Jr. and American Party candidate Albert Travison.

5TH DISTRICT Craig, who does ministerial and nonprofit work, acknowledges that his campaign to unseat Mulvaney is a longshot. But he says Mulvaney was also considered a long shot in 2010 when he unseated Democrat John Spratt, who had represented the district for 28 years. Mulvaney has not had primary opposition since then. Craig says the incumbent is too conservative, while he sees himself as just right-of-center. Mulvaney had about $300,000 cash on hand entering the final days of the campaign. Craig had not filed any spending reports according to the FEC website. Candidates must file with the FEC when their contri-

butions or spending exceeds $5,000. The GOP winner will be favored to win the Republican-leaning district over both Democrat Fran Person and the winner of the American Party primary.

2ND DISTRICT Democratic candidates running in the 2nd district covering the state’s Midlands are vying for the right to face incumbent Republican Joe Wilson, who was first elected to the seat in 2001. Phil Black of Lexington, who is semi-retired and ran as a Republican four years ago, is facing off against Arik Bjorn of Columbia, who says on his website that he used to work for the South Carolina SmartState Program and Health Sciences South Carolina. FEC reports showed that Black has spent $7,700 this election cycle and had no cash on hand entering the final days of the primary campaign. Bjorn had spent about $17,000 and had $500 on hand. Wilson, who has no primary opponent and who defeated Black handily in 2014, has more than $450,000 cash on hand for the general election. He is heavily favored to win this year as well.

Why choosing ‘good fat’ matters more than ‘low fat’

espite low fat diets being recommended for decades by many health organizations and health professionals, there is very little evidence that proves that low fat diets actually work. Furthermore, when told to go on a lowfat diet, that was once understood as reducing saturated fats and cholesterol in the diet but is more widely Missy understood Corrigan now as consuming processed foods that are labeled as low-fat or fat-free. It is a way to keep those favorite foods in your meal plan, but they actually may be causing more harm than good. With decades of health claims that fat is bad for you, American’s choice for low-fat or fat-free options have created this product demand and supported this theory. However, recent research now shows that fat isn’t necessarily the issue when it comes to your health. More specifically, that consuming saturated fat and cholesterol is not harmful. In 1991 the National Institute of Health conducted a study of more than 48,000 women. One group was placed on a low-fat diet that increased vegetable, fruit and grain consumption.

Compared to the control group, after 8 years, there was no difference in the rate of cardiovascular disease or cancer, and there was no weight loss difference. Another study was conducted with more than 12,000 men who were at high risk for having a heart attack. They were instructed to reduce their fat and cholesterol intake and consume more vegetable oils. After 7 years, there was no decreased risk for heart attack or death. The body requires fat in order to function properly. When fat is removed from food, more sugar and salt is added to compensate for the loss of taste and consistency. Additionally, chemicals are added to enhance flavor and preserve it. The food becomes more processed than its natural state and is unhealthier, too. The next time you are at the store, compare the labels on a regular, low-fat and fatfree food. Pay close attention not only to the label but also the ingredients. What we need to consider is what the body needs and what it isn’t getting. Too much of the bad fats can cause inflammation, leading to increased health risks. Vegetable oils contain Omega-6 that actually causes inflammation in the body. This oil, along with many others such as soybean oil, is hidden in most processed foods. Omega-6 foods promote in-

flammation in the body while Omega-3’s are a natural anti-inflammatory. The body actually requires both Omega-3 fat and Omega-6 fat in order to function well. With a 1 to 1 ratio, the body remains in balance. But during the past 100

years, the use of vegetable and seed oil has grown dramatically changing the ratio in the American diet up as high as 1 to 25. This jump of Omega 6 in the diet increases inflammation in the body leading to unwanted disease. Keep your

intake of Omega-6 low for better health. Bottom line: a lack of fat in your diet may lead to disease. Be sure that you are consuming healthy fats such as nuts, seeds and avocados that support optimal health.

COMMENTARY

The state’s proactive steps toward development

f special note in today’s edition is Managing Editor Rick Carpenter’s story on the I-95 Mega Site representing Sumter, Clarendon, Lee and Williamsburg counties. As the Business front story on page D1 explains, four counties have “pooled resources to prepare the 1,417-acre I-95 Mega Site by performing all due diligence work, including environmental impact studies and securing infrastructure to build out the site. An industry built on the site will likely need to pull employment from those four counties.” Graham This sort of proactive apOsteen proach to attracting industry and jobs should almost certainly pay off big. Jay Schwedler, president and CEO of Sumter Economic Development, and his entire team are to be commended for the successful and ongoing nurturing of a project that began eight years ago. ••• Just a ways further down on the coast, the city (and county) of Georgetown announced this week that there’s going to be a study of the waterfront property in the heart of downtown. As reported in the Charleston Post and Courier — http://bit.ly/1szPNNm — “Experts with the Urban Land Institute will meet with Georgetown area political and business leaders by early fall to plot a strategy for redevelopment of the former ArcelorMittal steel mill located adjacent to the coastal city’s historic waterfront district.” The story goes on: “The Washington, D.C.based Urban Land Institute will send a group of land-use experts to visit the Georgetown site for five days in September. They also will meet with area politicians, architects, developers, financiers and others to brainstorm ideas ‘for economic development possibilities ... that would benefit not only the city, but the greater Georgetown region,’ said Tee Miller, economic development director for the city.” Everyone in South Carolina who stops in Georgetown to buy delicious fresh shrimp from Sumter’s own Cotton Williams at Independent Seafood on the way to the beach knows the old steel mill is an eyesore, and nothing’s going to magically happen without a concerted local, state and even national effort. Among South Carolina’s greatest resources is an abundance of natural protected land throughout the Winyah Bay region, and the redevelopment and improvement of the old industrial part of the Georgetown waterfront would be a major economic driver for the entire Lowcountry region. Also, everyone’s tired of Charleston getting all the attention. I mean, it’s fine if you want to be stuck in traffic all day and bump into rude, sweaty tourists from “up north.” Charleston’s gotten to be a crowded human zoo, and Mt. Pleasant is out of control. Come on over to Georgetown and relax. ••• And finally this week, Happy Birthday to my wife, Julie. She celebrated yesterday and asked me to please not mention it in my column. The test will now be to see if she actually reads it. As long as I’ve been writing newspaper columns, it still makes her a little nervous sometimes. I also know that if I didn’t mention it she’d say, “You mean didn’t even give me a shout out? You always mention the children. Mission accomplished. Love you, honey.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR WHY HILLARY CLINTON IS NEVER A GOOD CHOICE It occurs to me that the usual gang of letter writers here who are staunch Democrats and Republicans have been silent in regards to the choices they have in the upcoming presidential election. Since Clinton is now the presumptive nominee, it is now down to those two. I make it no secret that I support Trump and have ever since he announced his candidacy last year. I would like to point out the mudslinging going on at the current time. Typical at this point. What I fail to understand is why would anyone even consider voting for Clinton? I suspect they are your typical Democrat supporters; you don’t care what name is on the ballot; you’ve been taught your whole life to put a check mark in the box labeled . She is under investigation by the FBI, the State Department and no telling what else. She is a documented liar. The woman scares the hell out of me thinking she could be the next president. I support Trump, mainly, because he is not a politician. He says a lot of things that are not considered politically correct. And that is exactly what we need, someone who is not afraid to ‘say’ what a majority of Americans can only ‘think’. Yeah, he’s said some things he should not have, but at least he’s not lying trying to cover it up. I can give you 33,000 reasons not to vote for her (or four ... or 43). You get the picture. I would like to remind you Democrat voters what Obama said about Clinton in 2008 while they were running for the democratic nomination : “She’ll say anything, and do nothing.” Sound familiar?

BULLOCK DESERVES TO BE RE-ELECTED AS OUR CORONER Since first being elected in 2008, Harvin Bullock has overseen a drastic increase (more than double) in the number of calls handled the coroner’s office. In response, Harvin has instituted a number of improvements in the way that the office operates enhancing the responsiveness of the system to better meet the needs of bereaved families and to protect the privacy of all of the residents of Sumter County. In terms of the responsiveness of the system, Harvin has worked to improve child fatality reporting and has testified to improve DSS procedures with regards to child related deaths. He has also improved working rela-

tions with all agencies involved in death investigations. Under Harvin’s leadership, the coroner’s office now uses the latest technology to improve turnaround time on all reports, permits and certificates signed or issued by the coroner’s office. In meeting the needs of bereaved families, Harvin has always been compassionate and caring. He has helped local funeral homes go online so that death certificates can be electronically filed allowing families who have lost a loved one to be able to collect death benefits more quickly and otherwise achieve closure in a more timely fashion. In that same vein, he has assisted families with filing for victims’ assistance funds and he has educated and assisted families of veterans and retired military members on having proper documentation in regards to service related deaths and assisted these families in filing for correct benefits. Finally, he has worked protect the rights of deceased and their next of kin. When the media tried to force the disclosure of private information about deceased persons in autopsy reports, he fought for their rights by pursuing a case all the way to the South Carolina Supreme Court. His victory in that case set a precedent that has increased the privacy protections for deceased and their families and continues to do so to this day. For all of these reasons, we need to go to the polls on June 14 and re-elect Harvin Bullock as our coroner. RUSS WEINBERG Sumter

ROBBIE BAKER WOULD MAKE A BETTER COUNTY CORONER The normally quiet Coroner’s Democratic Primary is turning out to be Sumter’s most hotly contested race and rightly so. Regardless of party affiliations, the folks have watched this one closely as 34-year public servant, Robbie Baker, climbed quietly into the political ring and brought along a breath of fresh air, integrity, boundless energy and (by far) the most qualifications, experience and dedication to this otherwise lackadaisical exercise. It’s gotten hot because Robbie’s been listening carefully to citizens throughout our county and bringing to light some of the many indiscretions being brought to bear on families in their time of grief and heightened vulnerability by the current coroner. • The people’s coroner should never operate one of the county’s most sensitive responsibili-

ties in an open-for-business funeral home (especially one that he owns and operates in competition with the other Sumter funeral homes). No public servant’s position should provide advantages to himself (or anyone else) over competing businesses. Robbie is committed to moving the office out of the private funeral home and back into the county coroner’s building where it belongs. • No citizen should ever be subjected to “steering” (no matter how subtle) when he or she is uncertain about how to move forward with the death process of a loved one. Robbie is committed to provide a random listing of available funeral homes to any citizen who requests information but only if asked by the individual or family. Robbie will focus solely on his duties as coroner and providing compassionate, thorough, and fair services to all citizens of our county. He will be involved with no other business or allow distractions of any kind to stray him from his duties. Robbie’s staff will be comprised of thoroughly trained, retired former law enforcement officers with exemplary service records and histories of compassion and caring for their neighbors, the citizens of Sumter County. They too will have no other jobs and focus part time only on their duties as assistants to the coroner. Regardless of your party preference, please vote in the Democratic Primary on Tuesday (which will not limit your votes in any way in November’s general election). And please cast your ballot for Robbie Baker, the honest, dedicated and (by far) most qualified candidate for Sumter County Coroner! HARVEY W. SENTER Sumter

LETTER WRITER FONDLY REMEMBERS LATE NEIGHBOR Portrait of a Lady: Patricia London Levi Barnett (1927-2016) My dear friend and neighbor, Patricia London Levi Barnett, “Patty,” passed into eternity on the first day of June this year. What a force she was. Intelligent, capable, forthright, sensible, loyal, beautiful and, always, lively company. It was my good fortune to spend a lot of time with her these past years; and I have been altered for the better by her influence. Her legacy will live on through her exceptional family, her generous service to the Sumter community and her exemplary character and gentility. Hers was the portrait of a lady.

RHODES FROM PAGE A1 stove that we would have to load coal in.â&#x20AC;? He said the teacher would gather the 70 to 80 students with an old cowbell. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have running water, so we used a dipper to get a drink out of a big-old pot,â&#x20AC;? he said. Rhodes went to Presbyterian College in Clinton and got a degree in business, he said. His father owned an oil company and general store on U.S. 76, and ran it until he died in 1981, when he took over his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operation. When he was young, Rhodes said, Mayesville wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the quiet town it is today. Hundreds of workers were needed to keep the cotton farms and ginning operations up and running. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a police chief and three or four deputies,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a lot of night clubs; it was a tough job to keep Mayesville quiet.â&#x20AC;? Rhodes said his mother, who worked in the store, had a policy on weekends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The pocket knife case is closed,â&#x20AC;? she would tell customers. Eventually the farming became mechanized, and the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population began to move away. In 1977, the man who had been the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clerk for 35 years, Dan Webster, had to give up the position. Jackie Mayes, then the mayor, asked Rhodes if he would take over the task. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess he figured I was the only one available,â&#x20AC;? Rhodes said. He said there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a whole lot to the job in those days. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a big ledger book and $300 or $400 cash and about $4,000 in the bank,â&#x20AC;? he said. The hardest part of the job was getting people to pay their water bills, he said.

The Mayesville Deport as it appeared shortly before it was torn down as a public safety hazard. He said one thing that made the job easy was that all the mayors were easy to work with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were truly lucky to have good mayors,â&#x20AC;? he said. The Sumter Item Archivist and local historian Sammy Way, who was on the Sumter County Museum Board with Rhodes, said he always welcomed his kids to the store in Mayesville and to his home when Way was a high school teacher in Sumter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is just a prince of a fellow,â&#x20AC;? Way said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there ever was a man who loved his community and the folks in it as he does, I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t met them.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was $3 a month for unlimited use,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would bill $9 every three months.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;All the meters were covered up; and if people couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay, we had no way to shut them off,â&#x20AC;? he said. Rhodes said the water was terrible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People only used it to water their lawns; they had their own wells,â&#x20AC;? he said. Eventually, they were able to upgrade the water system using federal grants, he said, and they also installed a sewer system, but it was a lot for the town to maintain, and it was eventually given over to the City of Sumter.

Close friend and Mayesville resident Louis Tisdale said Rhodes has been much more for the town than just a clerk keeping Town Council minutes, applying for grants and briefing councilors on the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He does everything. In a town experiencing a lot of change, he has been a constant,â&#x20AC;? Tisdale said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has been a godsend to the town of Mayesville.â&#x20AC;? Rhodes has been helping the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new clerk, Theresa Castillo, turning over audits from the 1970s and council minutes from a far back as the 1930s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had much controversy,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Familiar position Gamecocks need another comeback after losing to Cowboys 5-1 in super regional opener

NASCAR making shadow tweaks More changes to aero package at Michigan race By LARRY LAGE The Associated Press

The Associated Press

Oklahoma State starting pitcher Thomas Hatch tossed seven shutout innings to lead the Cowboys to a 5-1 victory over South Carolina in the first game of the Columbia Super Regional on Saturday at Founders Park in Columbia.

By Rudy Jones Special to The Sumter Item COLUMBIA – South Carolina is going to need another comeback weekend if it is to make another trip to the College World Series. Oklahoma State rode seven shutout innings from pitcher Thomas Hatch to a 5-1 victory over the Gamecocks on Saturday in the opener of the best-ofthree NCAA Baseball super regional under sweltering conditions at Founders Park. USC, which fell to 46-17 on the season, must win at 3 p.m. today to keep its season alive. Clarke Schmidt (9-4) is scheduled to start for the Gamecocks. A third game, if necessary, would be played on Monday. Last weekend, the Gamecocks lost their regional opener before winning four straight to advance. Gamecocks head coach Chad Holbrook is anticipating a similar effort from his squad again. “I told our players after the game ‘Would you have signed up (in September) for the opportunity to win two games in a row at home to advance to the College World Series?’

South Carolina’s Dom Thompson-Williams rounds third base after hitting a ninth-inning home run during the Gamecocks’ 5-1 loss to Oklahoma State on Saturday in the first game of the Columbia Super Regional at Founders Park in Columbia. “They all said they would,” Holbrook said. “That’s the opportunity in front of us and that’s how we’re going to treat it.” Oklahoma State’s Hatch (8-2) didn’t allow an earned run for the eighth time

in his 17 starts this season. He didn’t allow a hit until the fourth inning, by which time he had a 2-0 lead as he outdueled USC starter Braden Webb.

Title repeat just 1 win away for Warriors By TIM REYNOLDS The Associated Press CLEVELAND — Golden State has now won 88 games this season, when factoring in the regular season and the playoffs. That’s another NBA record to add to its collection, one more than the Chicago Bulls totaled in their 1995-96 season. It’s unclear if the Warriors even noticed. The next win is the only one that really matters to them. They’re now on the brink of back-to-back championships, and their first opportunity to close out their record-setting season in the only acceptable manner is set for Monday night on their home floor at Oracle Arena. The Warriors earned that right by coming into Cleveland and beating the

BROOKLYN, Mich. — NASCAR is making aerodynamic changes, again, hoping to create more competitive racing. “The rules package is what is on everyone’s mind,” Brad Keselowski said Friday after a practice session at Michigan International Speedway’s twomile oval. Part of the intrigue revolves around the fact that no one — including the drivers, engineers and NASCAR officials — is sure how the changes will shake out during the FireKeepers Casino 400 on Sunday, when Joey Logano will be on the pole. NASCAR is reducing sideforce to cars by setting the rear toe to zero. It is also shortening the spoiler from 3.5 inches to 2.5 inches, reducing the splitter located under the bumper to 2 inches and resizing the deck fin to match the spoiler. After the aero package makes its debut at Michigan, it is expected to be in place again for next month’s race at Kentucky. “The car, as it goes through the air, it casts this aerodynamic shadow,” said Gene Stefanyshyn, NASCAR’s vice president of innovation and racing development. “And, we’re trying to make this shadow as small as possible so the other cars around it don’t feel the effects of the shadow.” At least one driver, Aric Almirola, is confident the results will be good for a series that has occasionally great racing but also clunkers.

Belcher finds home in indoor football league By Barbara Boxleitner Special to The Sumter Item Nick Belcher has found a home in indoor football. The Lakewood High School graduate signed to be the kicker for the Cedar Rapids Titans of the 10-team Indoor Football League in February. “He’s been doing very well for us,” said Mark Stoute, Cedar Rapids head coach and director of player personnel. The South Carolina State University graduate was idle during 2014 as he recovered from a hip flexor injury. Last year, the 25-year-old said he participated in mini camp for two Canadian Football League teams and had a tryout for the Jacksonville Sharks of the Arena Football League. Stoute connected with Belcher after a player who knows him gave the coach Belcher’s information. “We looked at film and signed him to a contract,” Stoute said.

“At least with the cars behind, they won’t be affected as bad with the dirty air we talk about all the time,” Almirola said. “I feel like continuing to make the race cars sleeker and get more and more downforce off the car is going to continue to allow more air to flow to the cars following and that will in turn put on a better race. I am really excited about the fact that not only is it really cool to go 220 mph at the end of the straightaway, but then we have to slow down to 180 mph in the corner.” With all the changes, the start of qualifying was delayed by 15 minutes Friday. Keselowski’s car was among the final ones cleared to enter the track as teams tried to do everything they could within the rules to give their drivers an advantage. “They are trying to get everything they can get,” NASCAR senior vice president for competition Scott Miller said. “It’s even more critical with the skew rules as we have them for them to try and push the envelope.” The sanctioning body has reduced the downforce on cars from 3,000 pounds in 2014 to 1,500 pounds with the latest aero package. It also removed 110 pounds of sideforce from cars this year. The tweaks are aimed at putting the handling of the cars back in the hands of the drivers. Keselowski said the changes led to speeds being “blazing fast,” on straightaways and much slower on turns. “You enter the corner almost 220 mph and you turn left and the front goes and the back doesn’t always go with it,” Keselowski said. “That is quite a feeling for sure. It is a unique challenge that I think will bring out some of the best racing we have seen in quite some time. I am really optimistic about it and hoping that we can turn this opportunity into a victory here at Michigan.”

ducted into racing’s Hall of Fame this summer. “Irad gave him a dream trip. The horse ran super.” Kent Desormeaux, the Hall of Fame rider aboard Exaggerator, secondguessed his decision to ask his colt to wait behind a slow pace. When he tried to make a move, the colt trained by his brother, Keith, just didn’t have it. “I don’t know it there would have been any difference in the outcome,” he said. “When I picked him up at the quarter-pole to try and win the race, there was nothing there.” The track was a fast one all day, and the rain held off until after the finish when a downpour soaked the track and a crowd much smaller than the 90,000 that showed up for American Pharoah’s Triple Crown. With the win, Asmussen will go into the Hall of Fame with his first Belmont Stakes win. He won the Preakness twice, with the filly Rachel Alexandra in 2009, and with Curlin in 2007. Earlier in the week, celebrity chef Bobby Flay became a co-owner of Creator along with WinStar.

Keselowski, who is from suburban Detroit, has won twice this year and 19 times in his career. Keselowski’s best performance in 14 Sprint Cup races in his home state was a second-place finish in 2012. “For me, it puts a lot of pressure coming to this race,” he said. “I have had to be really careful to try to take a step back because I get really mad when we don’t win this race and we haven’t won it yet. Maybe that means the day I win it, if we win it, I will be ecstatic. It is really a key race for me personally and for the sport. I am glad we get to come here twice a year.”

FedEx St. Jude Classic Par Scores Saturday At TPC Southwind Memphis, Tenn. Purse: $6.2 million Yardage: 7,224; Par: 70 Third Round

The Associated Press

Daniel Berger watches his tee shot on the first hole of the third round of the St. Jude Classic on Saturday. Berger leads by three strokes.

Berger takes 3-stroke lead at St. Jude Classic MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Daniel Berger shot a 1-under 69 on a hot, sticky Saturday at the FedEx St. Jude Classic, giving him a three-stroke lead over Phil Mickelson, Steve Stricker and D.A. Points. Berger, the 2014-15 rookie of the year who had led after a round on tour only once before this event back in 2014, now has led consecutive rounds as he looks for his first PGA Tour victory. Berger had four birdies, a bogey and a double bogey to reach 10-under 200. Mickelson (68), Stricker (66) and Points (64) were 7 under. Seung-yul Noh (67), Colt Knost (67) and Brooks Koepka (69) were 6 under. With so many experienced players and big names chasing him on a day where the temperature felt close to 100 degrees, Berger hit 13 of 18 greens playing conservatively enough with six straight pars at one point that he finished Saturday with the same threestroke lead he had after the second round. Berger couldn’t hold onto the lead after the opening round of the 2014 OHL Classic at Mayakoba during his and wound up tied for 51st. But Berger already has three top 10s this season and is looking for more before heading to Oakmont for the U.S. Open.

Top-ranked Ko Has 1-shot lead at Women’s PGA SAMMAMISH, Wash. — Top-ranked Lydia Ko bogeyed the 18th hole Saturday to cut her lead to one stroke heading into the final round of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. Seeking her third straight major title, Ko shot a 1-under 70 to reach 2 under. She won the Evian Championship in September in France for her

first major title and took the ANA Inspiration in April in California. Brittany Lincicome and Gerina Piller were tied for second. They each shot 71, with Lincicome also bogeying the 18th. The 19-year-old Ko used her deft short-game to save shots on the 16th and 17th holes, but couldn’t avoid dropping a shot at the last when her third went to the back of the green and she missed a 15-foot par putt. Second round co-leaders Brooke Henderson and Mirim Lee each shot 73 to drop into the group at even par. Only three players were under par, but 13 were within three shots of the lead.

Langer all alone under par at Senior Players FLOURTOWN, Pa. — Bernhard Langer was all alone under par at windy Philadelphia Cricket Club. The 58-year-old German star also was in position to win the Constellation Senior Players Championship for the third straight year, shooting a 1-under 69 on Saturday to reach 2-under 208 and take a three-stroke lead over Jay Don Blake with a round left. After playing the first 11 holes in 2 over with two birdies and four bogeys, Langer birdied the par-4 12th to get back to even par for the tournament. He added birdies on the par-5 15th and par-3 16th and closed with two pars on the A.W. Tillinghast-designed Wissahickon Course. Langer won in 2014 at Fox Chapel in Pittsburgh and last year at Belmont in Massachusetts. He won the Regions Tradition last month in Alabama for his sixth senior major and 27th tour victory.

It was the Eagles’ first win at Mark Light Field since 2010. The Eagles are 2-14 here alltime. King, who allowed nine hits, four walks and three runs in six innings, was drafted in the 12th round at the same time he was helping the Eagles (3521) avoid elimination against No. 3 national seed Miami (4912). The teams will play the deciding game of the best-ofthree series on Sunday. The winner advances to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. Texas Tech 3 East Carolina 1

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) Eric Gutierrez singled in two runs in the top of the 13th inning and Texas Tech beat East Carolina 3-1 on Saturday night to even the Lubbock Super Regional at a game apiece. The Game 3 winner Sunday will advance to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. Gutierrez, the 2016 Big 12 Player of the Year, ended an 0-for-16 spell that dated to the second game of the Lubbock Regional last week. He was 0 for 9 against ECU before his single in extra innings.

UC Santa Barbara 4 Louisville 2 LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Austin Bush hit his fourth postseason home run, Shane Bieber allowed just one run in seven innings and UC Santa Barbara beat Louisville 4-2 in Saturday’s super regional opener, ending the Cardinals’ 22-game home winning streak. Clay Fisher, J.J. Muno and Kyle Plantier knocked in runs for the Gauchos (41-18-1), which handed second-seeded Louisville (50-13) just its second home loss in 38 games.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Drew Carlton pitched a two-hitter, Taylor Walls had an RBI double and Florida State beat rival Florida 3-0 in the opening game of an NCAA super regional Saturday night. The Seminoles (41-20), who had lost five in a row and 10 of 12 against the Gators, can clinch a spot in the College World Series with a victory Sunday or Monday.

He was cited for a Week 7 performance in a victory over Green Bay, when he was 2-for-3 in field goals and converted all eight extra points. He was recognized during Week 9 for his effort in a 1-point win over Nebraska, hitting three of four field goal attempts and four of

Rookie Byron passes Crafton for truck win

FORT WORTH, Texas — Rookie driver William Byron passed Matt Crafton with five laps to go to win the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Texas on Friday night. It was the second career victory for the 18-year-old Byron, who graduated from high school last month. Crafton, the two-time series champion racing the day before his 40th birthday, led 133 of 167 laps at the 1 1/2mile, high-banked track where he had won the past two June races. He had overcome a cut rear tire in the early laps that damaged the truck and forced him to restart 25th. Byron joined Crafton as the only multiple winners through the series’ first seven races this season. Crafton, who finished as the runnerup, had won the last two.

Suarez passes Busch, wins Xfinity at Michigan BROOKLYN, Mich. — Daniel Suarez passed Kyle Busch toward the end of the Xfinity Series race at Michigan and held on for his first career victory in NASCAR’s secondtier circuit. Busch led much of the 125lap Menards 250 race Saturday, but couldn’t stay ahead of the Mexican driver for the final two laps. Busch, Paul Menard, Erik Jones and Elliott Sadler finfive extra point tries. “I’m happy to finally get the opportunity to continue to play,” said Belcher, a Charleston resident who has relatives in Manning. “It’s definitely a different game. It’s fun. I’m just happy to be playing.” One of the biggest differences from the outdoors game is that Belcher is kicking through goal posts that are nine feet apart. Even standing 20 to 30 yards away from the uprights, he sees a much smaller target. “It’s tough,” Stoute said. “It’s a lot smaller.” In addition, Stoute said kickoffs must be booted so that the opponent can receive them, meaning that kickers can’t drill balls through the end zone. So Belcher practices kickoffs that make it difficult for receiving players to handle. “Nice low, line-drive squib

Gordie Howe was mentioned during the invocation before the race about 70 miles west of Detroit, where he played much of his career for the Red Wings. Howe died Friday at 88.

U.S. reaches quarters with win over Paraguay PHILADELPHIA — The United States advanced to the quarterfinals of the Copa America, getting a first-half goal from Clint Dempsey and surviving DeAndre Yedlin’s early second-half ejection to beat Paraguay 1-0 on Saturday night. Dempsey scored his 51st international goal in the 27th minute, but the Americans’ defense was upended just three minutes into the second half. Yedlin got his first yellow in the 47th for a slide tackle from the side into Miguel Almiron near the center circle and then when play resumed raised a foot and charged into Miguel Samudio near a sideline. Chilean referee Julio Bascunan immediately gave a second yellow, and Yedlin lifted both arms wide as if to say, why me? Staff and wire reports kicks,” Belcher said. “My normal kickoff approach was eight yards back and three steps over. Now it’s 1-step kickoffs. That’s probably the hardest thing I’ve had to adjust to.” He also has to consider the configuration of the arena, notably the ceiling height and scoreboard placement. Stoute said scoreboards tend to project from the ceiling in the center above the playing surface. With a shorter field, too, Belcher has to be ready to tackle returners. He said he has had three chances to make a tackle. He has been credited with two assisted tackles, according to the team’s online site. The other, he said, “I completely whiffed.” Send updates about area athletes to Barbara Boxleitner at bboxleitner@outlook. com.

Arrieta shines, Cubs blast 4 homers to beat Braves By CHARLES ODUM The Associated Press ATLANTA — Jake Arrieta allowed only four hits in seven strong innings and, backed by four homers, made an impressive return to winning form as the Chicago Cubs beat the Atlanta Braves 8-2 on Saturday. Arrieta (10-1) allowed two runs in his answer to his first loss of the season. He also had two hits as the Cubs’ offense rolled after being held to four hits in a 5-1 loss to Atlanta on Friday night. Miguel Montero hit a threerun homer, Kris Bryant hit a two-run shot and Jason Heyward and Anthony Rizzo also hit homers. Heyward had three hits. Rizzo returned after sitting Friday night with tightness in his back. The Cubs (42-18) own baseball’s best record and have won 13 of 17. They have 22 wins by five or more runs and improved to 38-2 when scoring at least four runs. Arrieta’s 3-2 loss to Arizona on Sunday was his first since July 25, 2015 and ended a streak of 20 consecutive winning decisions. By beating Atlanta, he improved to 7-0 in seven road starts. Matt Wisler (2-7) allowed five runs on seven hits, including three homers, in four innings. Wisler has allowed six homers and 13 earned runs over eight innings in his last two starts. He also gave up three homers in a 12-6 loss at the Dodgers on Sunday and has allowed 12 for the season. Heyward pulled an inside fastball from Wisler into the right-field seats for his fourth homer in the first inning. Wisler stranded runners on second and third in the third inning before giving up Rizzo’s 14th homer to lead off the fourth. Montero’s three-run homer later in the inning drove in Ben Zobrist and Chris Coghlan, who had singles. Bryant lined his two-run homer off Eric O’Flaherty into the left-field seats in the fifth. The Braves’ first run off Arrieta came in the fourth, when Nick Markakis doubled and then scored on Adonis Garcia’s single to center field. Ender Inciarte’s triple in the seventh drove in Jace Peterson, who walked. Bryant committed two errors at third base, including a bobble of Daniel Castro’s grounder off Trevor Cahill in the ninth. Cahill stranded runners on second and third.

Carolyn Klaege and Margaret Sanders have become close friends through the Mothers of Angels support group. Both had children who died young.

Support group reaches out to bereaved mothers Members share stories of their ‘lost’ angels BY IVY MOORE ivy@theitem.com

ne thing Sumter’s Mothers of Angels agree on is that no matter how old

your child is when he or she dies, no matter the cause and no matter how long ago it’s been, there is always a raw feeling in your psyche that can rise to the surface quickly and unexpectedly. After nearly 23 years, Eileen Gardner still knows that feeling well. “I was driving one day,” she said, “looked up at a billboard, and it brought everything back. My first waking thought for a long time was ‘Bobby’s not alive.’” Members of the support group know that every mother who’s lost a child has a different experience, but at the same time, they all know the almost unbearable grief. As each receives some solace from fellow members, he or she learns the value of sharing without judgment or impatience. For that reason, several were willing to tell their stories and to encourage bereaved mothers to attend the Mothers of Angels support group. Gardner’s son Robert was 29 when he died on July 24, 1993, “the same day my mother died,” she said. Like many of the women in the support group, Gardner is somewhat angered when people talk to her about finding closure.

Eileen Gardner and Karen Younkins talk about support they receive through their participation in the Mothers of Angels support group. Both lost adult sons, Gardner in 1993, Younkins years later. There is no closure for her. “There is never closure,” she said. “You never get over a child’s death. You just learn to cope better.” Immediately after her son’s death, Gardner said, “I went into a deep depression. I can’t even describe how I coped. I was a nurse at Tuomey, and I had to take 90 days off. I couldn’t function.”

She returned to work to find that it did help her. “You don’t expect your child to die before you,” she said. “It’s not the natural way.” It was another bereaved mother and a fellow member of St. Jude Catholic Church who introduced Gardner to Mothers of Angels, which she attends regularly.

Mary Holmes, whose son Reginald died in a car wreck five years ago at 38, said the group is invaluable for her, too. “When other people say, ‘It’s been a long time, you need to come out, it’s time to move on,’” she said, “the ladies in the group allow me to cry, to talk

They understand when I’m crying.” Besides the group, Holmes said she’s finding solace in her faith and is writing a book about her experiences after the loss of her son. “I don’t cry as much; I can talk about it without breaking down,” she said. Holmes said she’ll stay in the group because the support helps her, and, “The way they help me, maybe I can help somebody.” After her son’s death at 47, Karen Younkins went to a local bookstore to ask about books on coping after losing children. There wasn’t one. “The clerk told me, ‘You might want to talk to my mother.’” Through that encounter, she found Mothers of Angels. Younkins is in the unusual

position of not knowing how her oldest son, Lester, died. The 47-year-old was found in his Chicago apartment, and she was told “no cause was found.” “I was devastated,” Younkins said. “I think about him, and I cry.” Younkins’ grief was exacerbated by the fact that her mother had just moved into a nursing home. “She lost a child, too, and so did my grandmother,” she said. “Listening to the different experiences here made me feel less alone.” She dabbed her eyes with a tissue and continued, “It gets a little bit easier to cope with time. There’s more time in between the ‘sorrow moments,’ thinking about things you didn’t get a chance to say ... .” Earl Klaege Jr. died from a

heart attack at 38. His mother, Carolyn, said her initial reaction at hearing the news was “Shock. It was unbelievable.” Alone when she was told by phone of her son’s death in Tucson, Klaege was soon joined by her daughter, and her next door neighbor came over. “I had to tell my daughter,” she said. Before she found Mothers of Angels, Klaege said, “I used my mother as an example. I saw how she handled my brother and sister’s deaths. “My mother told me when I was an adolescent, ‘Dying is part of living.’ She always tried to maintain herself gracefully.” Pastor Dearld Sterling told her about the support group. At the Mothers of Angels meetings, Klaege said, “Here, we can come and talk about a good week, a bad week, what

brought up a memory; we can share happy and sad things. “Even though each death is different, moms are moms.” The Mothers of Angels don’t want to forget their children or their grief, Younkins said. “We want to remember what made them so special and precious to us.” In their mother’s words: • Robert Gardner would be 52 this year. His sons are grown, having not really known their smart, caring father. “He used to rescue critters, even snakes. He would always stop to help a turtle in the road.” • Reginald Holmes was a “people person. He could walk into a room and make everyone laugh before he left. He was very compassionate and a born artist.” • Lester Augustine, son of Karen Younkins, “was loved

by everybody. He was very, very bright, very knowledgeable about health, plants. He could talk about all kinds of things, and he was a very good son to me.” • Earl Klaege Jr. “played accordion as a kid, won a lot of competitions. He and his dad won a lot of Pinewood Derby competitions, too. He learned to read when he was 2, and he loved music, sports, and he liked to read anything.” Mothers of Angels meets twice a month, at noon on the first Tuesday and at 6 p.m. on the third Tuesday, at Wise Drive Baptist Church on the corner of Wise Drive and Wilson Hall Road.

PANORAMA

SUNDAY, JUNE 12, 2016

YESTERYEAR FROM PAGE C1 date of the paratroopers attack will be kept secret to add the element of surprise as in Louisiana maneuvers last month, but it was indicated the invasion would be between Nov. 12 and 22. 50 YEARS AGO – 1966 Sept. 5 - 11 Miss Sarah Ashly Taylor, formerly Young Peoples Librarian of the staff of the Statesville, N.C., public library, has joined the staff of the Sumter County Public Library. Miss Taylor, who holds a master’s degree in Library Science from the University of North Carolina, brings to the local library three years’ experience. • The first South Carolinamade Swanson frozen “TV” brand dinners were produced here today as Campbell Soup Co.’s newest frozen foods plant began operation. To mark the occasion, one of the plant’s first products, a Swanson Fried Chicken Dinner, was served to Gov. Robert E. McNair in the office at Columbia by Plant Manager Gerry L. Gardner. • The future of downtown Sumter may lie in beating shopping centers at their own game, a small group of Sumter businessmen and Chamber of Commerce officials were told in a presentation offering suggestions for a vital downtown of the future. The presentation was made by Howard M. Jennings Jr., an architecture student at the University of Virginia who has been studying downtown parking for the Chamber. • Miss Cornelia Brower’s hometown in the United States is Sumter, but the emeritus Southern Baptist missionary has lived and worked in Chile for the past 45 years. Now Miss Brower, who lists her permanent address here as 105 Wactor St., has been honored by the government of Chile for 45 years of labor on behalf of the people – especially the youth – of her adopted country. • “We filled a gap in the 24-hour-a-day watch over the enemy, with our night photoreconnaiassance runs in the RF-4C,” said Air Force Lt. Col. Morgan R. Beamer of Sumter about his command, the 16th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron. Beamer was with the 15th when it was at Shaw Air Force Base, where he and his pilots checked out in the reconnaissance version of the McDonnel-built F-4C Phantom. • Ten nurses received diplomas at the graduation exercises for the Tuomey Hospital School of Nursing held at the First Presbyterian Church. Presiding was Ralph Abercrombie Jr., administrator who presented diplomas. Miss Helen Sprott, director of nursing education, presented a school pin to each graduate. The speaker, Sen. John C. West, was introduced by Mayor Robert E. Graham. • The Sumter Sertoma Club will sponsor a special race at the Sumter Raceway on Tuesday night featuring most of the top local stars including Lee Johnson, Robbie Hynes, Ray McCoy and Jimmy Powell. A 50-lap sportsman race will be run following a 35-lapper in the Jalopy Division. • Manning’s Monarchs were definitely the superior team as they easily rolled past the Hillcrest Wildcats by a surprising 19-6 score. Esau Dennis, Donald Richburg, Gene Graham and Don McCord moved through the Wildcat line almost at will; L.G. Mathis caught as many Hillcrest passes as Hillcrest did; and junior quarterback Jerry Coker demonstrated the art of returning kickoff as he raced 80 yards for a scoring return. • City council voted to give favorable consideration to any annexation petition hat may be presented by the residents of the Westhaven area. But council also voted to postpone calling an annexation election for the Shot Pouch-Broad Street and Shannontown areas. The action was taken on recommendation of City Manager Wade Kolb, who submitted a report on the feasibility of annexing the areas.

25 YEARS AGO – 1991 June 6-12 A celebration has begun, but the migration is yet to come. Sumter County’s high school graduates are within 50 hours of commencement, and for many, within 73 hours of flocking to Myrtle Beach for a few days of relaxation and a chance to rest on their laurels. Parties, cookouts, visiting relatives and that traditional walk across the stage to grab a diploma will be part of memories etched in the minds of many students. • Wally Maynard traveled to Lexington with the Sumter P-15’s for what he thought would be nothing more than an American Legion baseball scrimmage game. It turned out to be an audition for University of South Carolina pitching coach Randy Davis, and Maynard made quite an impression. Davis met the Sumter High School righthander after the scrimmage and offered Maynard a scholarship on the spot. Maynard decided to take Davis up on his offer as he signed to play with the Gamecocks later. • Shaw Air Force Base will be well represented in the national victory celebration in Washington, D.C. Among the 8,000 troops expected to march in the parade will be representatives from the Ninth Air Force, including Lt. Gen. Charles “Chuck” Horner, the 507th Tactical Air Control Wing and the 363rd Tactical Fighting Wing. • One day after signing to play college baseball with the University of South Carolina, Wally Maynard showed why the Gamecocks want him. Maynard struck out 16 batters and pitched a four-hitter to lead the Sumter P-15’s to an 8-1 victory over Manning-Santee at Riley Park. • Sumter golfer Connie Ballard is no stranger to the Carolinas Women’s Amateur tournament, having competed in the prestigious event on a number of occasions. This year’s tournament was a little different for Ballard, though. She brought home her first-ever first-place trophy and competed for the first time in the senior division. • Keep Sumter together. That was the common call of Sumter area businesses and governmental leaders who attended a public hearing in Florence about plans to redraw the state’s U.S. congressional district lines. “We don’t care if it’s white, black, green or blue,” Sumter businesswoman Emma Singleton said. “Just keep Sumter together.” The public hearing let area residents speak their minds about proposed changes in their congressional representative districts. • Some say the “spice of life is hard work.” For Edward Farmer, this spice is the sweetness of blue ribbon cane syrup and the satisfaction he gets from making his own. “I used to help my stepdaddy, W.J. Owens, in his syrup mill back about 45 years ago when I was a youngun’,” Farmer said. “I remember how sweet the syrup was and how much I liked it. So, I decided I’d build my own mill and make my own syrup.” This is the first year he’s been able to make syrup, Farmer said. Finding seed for the blue ribbon cane was quite an ordeal. • Sumter Codes Enforcement Officer Stephen Washington can ride past the refurbished warehouse at 341 Manning Ave. in South Sumter and take pride in his work. The same can be said about the house at 536 S. Main St., now rebuilt and repainted. Until a few months ago, the house’s roof was collapsing and the structure was an eyesore in the community. The steering committee for South Sumter revitalization reported last week that 60 percent of the neighborhood has been cleaned of debris, a first step in making South Sumter more livable. • Bunk, hooey, a load of baloney. Julian Allen is quick to discount the supernatural reputation of the Bermuda Triangle, that slice of Atlantic Ocean bounded by Miami, Bermuda and Puerto Rico where ships and planes have vanished mysteriously for decade. “I never did put much stock in it,” Allen, of Allen-

Makela Land Surveyors Inc., says from his second-floor office at 1½ Law Range. Still, more than 45 years after his brother’s disappearance during a rescue flight over the socalled Devil’s Triangle, Allen waits and wonders. It’s easy to understand why. Just across the street, on the front lawn of the county courthouse, sits a constant reminder: a monument dedicated to the memory of the World War II dead. Roger Murray Allen’s name is second on the list. • Sumter County taxpayers were given a war memorial park Tuesday, but they’ll have to come up with more than $1,000 each year to maintain it. County council voted unanimously to take over ownership of the Maj. Gen. George L. Mabry Jr. Veterans Memorial Park, which is located on U.S. 76-378 near Shaw Air Force Bases. The park, which features monuments that pay

THE SUMTER ITEM tribute to Sumterites who died in 20th century wars, was given to the county by the committee that raised money for it two years ago. • The Federal Emergency Management Agency has agreed to give Sumter County a quarter of a million dollars to fix Second Mill Dam – someday. FEMA has notified the county that a $250,000 grant has been awarded for the dam’s repair. But FEMA has no money, so the dam may not be repaired for some time. “They’ve approved the grant application, but the letter said that funding has been suspended until further notice,” said Sumter County Council Chairman Ruben Gray. “I assume that means that it depends on what the U.S .Congress does with its budget.” Reach Sumter Item Archivist Sammy Way at waysammy@ yahoo.com or (803) 774-1294.

‘Mega Site’ almost shovel-ready BY RICK CARPENTER rick@theitem.com When Volvo searched for a location to build its first American plant last year, economic development organizations across the state scurried to raise their hands yelling “pick me, pick me.” Volvo picked a Berkeley County location because it met the criteria that could pull all of the pieces together to get the plant operating within three years. A team of local economic development organizations representing Sumter, Clarendon, Lee and Williamsburg counties has pooled resources to prepare the 1,417-acre I-95 Mega Site by performing all due diligence work, including environmental impact studies and securing infrastructure to build out the site. An industry built on the site will likely need to pull employment from those four counties. In a 2009 analysis from Wilbur Smith Associates about the feasibility of South Carolina mega sites, a “mega site” is defined as one that can include the development of a minimum of 1,000 acres and has access to critical infrastructure and a skilled workforce that major industrial users require. The infrastructure portion of the requirements does not mean that roads, utilities and possible rail access are already in place but have been fully evaluated and a concept plan for providing that infrastructure has been prepared, including probable costs. Jay Schwedler, president and CEO of Sumter Economic Development, said the I-95 Mega Site will meet all of those qualifications within the next year with a goal to make the project “shovel ready.” Each of the four counties contributed $250,000 to initiate the project, which allowed site developers to leverage that money in the form of a matching grant to secure state and federal funds. During an eightyear period, the coalition secured $2.5 million in matching funds from South Carolina Rural Infrastructure Authority and South Carolina Department of Commerce. The funds allowed developers to extend water, sewer and roads to the site and to upgrade others that could service the site, which is situated along a 2-mile frontage of Interstate 95 in Clarendon County. Besides clearing hurdles on environmental issues such as wetlands, geothermal, endangered species and cultural impacts, Schwedler said the group has secured water and sewer service from the town

Duke Energy, Santee Electric and Black River cooperatives have agreed to generate whatever level of electrical power a company needs. With those pieces in place, Schwedler said, “it allows us to market the site with 100 percent SCHWEDLER confidence that we can accommodate any size industrial company at that site.” One item remaining on the checklist concerns bringing railroad access to the site, a major component that allows an industry, such as an auto-

mobile manufacturer, to quickly move their products inland or to nearby ports. That would require a roughly 10-mile rail spur into the site from existing railroad tracks. Schwedler said by moving ahead with outlining where the spur would run along with gaining access to land to move the tracks to the site, engineers can lay the groundwork of outlining potential road crossings and where they would need to add trestles through wetlands or elevated areas. By completing that railroad piece to the puzzle within a year, Schwedler said the I-95 Mega Site would have an advantage over other locations

because it could build out the rail and other components in two years versus four years. He said he’s had conversations with Palmetto Railway, which supplies rail service to the Charleston area. Meanwhile, programs such as the mechatronics program at Central Carolina Technical College are preparing an industrial workforce capable of meeting the employment needs of future companies. CCTC offers free tuition to local graduates in the area who meet minimal requirements. With most of the pieces put together, Schwedler said he just needs to find a user. “It’s pure rumor that there is an identifiable project for

the site,” he said. But he gets calls daily from potential clients who want to look at what the area has to offer. By closing the gap from four to two years to make a site operational, the next time a Volvo or other manufacturer looks for a mega site, Schwedler will be able to raise his hand with confidence and not just say, “pick me;” he’ll be able to illustrate the advantages of having a “shovelready” site.

Gawker files for bankruptcy to sell itself to Ziff Davis BY MAE ANDERSON AP Technology Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Gawker Media is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and putting itself up for sale, strained by a jury’s verdict that that it must pay $140 million to pro wrestler Hulk Hogan in an invasionof-privacy lawsuit. The filing by the 14-year-old website follows the revelation in May that Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel bankrolled Hogan’s lawsuit as what he called a “deterrent” to Gawker’s noholds-barred and sometimes gonzo style of journalism. Thiel’s secret role sparked anxiety over the possibility that more wealthy individuals might cow publications by covertly funding lawsuits against them. Gawker says it plans to sell itself to publishing company Ziff Davis, although other bidders could emerge during the bankruptcy court auction. The sale will help it fund its appeal against the Hogan judgment in a Florida state court. “We have been forced by this litigation to give up our longstanding independence,” Gawker founder Nick Den-

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Hulk Hogan, center, whose real name is Terry Bollea, huddles with his legal team as he appears in court on Wednesday, May 25, in St. Petersburg, Florida. ton said in a statement. “With stronger backing and disentangled from litigation, (Gawker writers) can perform their vital work on more platforms and in different forms.” The move also allows Gawker’s web sites to keep operating normally, the company says. Gawker filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection about three months after Hogan won a lawsuit against the online gossip and news publisher.

The New York publisher said in the filing that it has as much as $500 million in debt and up to $100 million in assets. Hogan sued Gawker after it posted a video of him having sex with a friend’s wife. Gawker said the footage was newsworthy information about a public figure, and protected by the First Amendment. Hogan still won a judgment for $115 million in compensatory damages plus an added $25.1 million in punitive damages. Only afterward did Thiel’s part in funding Hogan’s lawsuit become clear. Thiel, who co-founded PayPal and was an early investor in Facebook, has been a frequent target of Gawker writers, who have written unflattering pieces about his political beliefs and utopian goals. One 2007 post outed Thiel as gay. A Gawker-owned site, Valleywag, ran a number of stories skewering Facebook, which provided a big chunk of Thiel’s estimated $2.7 billion fortune. A spokesman for Thiel said he had no comment on Friday. Media analyst Dean Starkman, a fellow at the Center for Media, Data and Society at the Central European Uni-

versity in Budapest, said the bankruptcy was an “ominous development” for journalism. “You don’t want billionaires to be any final arbiter of press fairness — that’s just not democracy,” he said. “While many of us disagreed with Gawker’s news judgment in this case, and many are ambivalent about Gawker itself, the issue here was a billionaire’s use and potential abuse of the legal process to drain a journalism outlet’s resources.” In the filing, Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, was listed as Gawker’s biggest creditor. One of his lawyers, David Houston, said in a statement that the wrestler and his legal team intend to pursue the judgment award and hold Gawker “accountable.” Gawker’s Denton said in a statement that Ziff Davis’ e-commerce, licensing and video assets would be a good fit with Gawker’s websites, which include tech site Gizmodo, sports site Deadpsin, video-game site Kotaku, celebrity and women-focused site Jezebel, news and gossip site Gawker, car-site Jalopnik and selfhelp site Lifehacker.

Backyard buntings and other wildlife I

rolled over on the couch, and with one bleary eye open, looked out through the storm door into the backyard. Raising up on an elbow, I tried to get both eyes open and focused. It was worth the effort. Perched there on a feeder, maybe 10 feet from my back door was a marvel and true gem of the natural world. It was a male Painted Bunting. I wasn’t sick, or anything like that. Just being lazy – and lounging around on the couch at midday. The soft rain had put me indoors on a recent weekend. Bird watching at my house doesn’t always require a lot of effort. I got up from the couch and ambled into the kitchen. We have a large window there that looks out over the backyard. Another Painted Bunting was at a feeder that hangs just a few feet away. Then another male bunting flew in and dive bombed the male near the back door. They all flew away in a flash of color. I had seen three male Painted Buntings in my backyard at one time. I was very pleased. Painted Buntings are fast flyers. They look like little burst of color – shot from the barrel of a gun. They are small, sparrow-sized birds, shy and secretive. And, they are relative newcomers to the midlands. I saw my first one on a visit to Magnolia Gardens near Charleston, back around 1992. They were not especially plentiful, and were originally found only along the coastal areas. They have moved farther inland, and have become more common since then. I saw one in Clarendon County a few years after that first sighting in

Charleston. Now I see them every day through the summer at my home in Sumter. The “trick” to having Painted Buntings around is to keep your feeders stocked Dan through the summer. Geddings Other birds will stop OUTDOORS using the feeders so much, but the Painted’s will continue to come. I have a few Cardinals now, some House Finches, and a few Tufted Titmouse, but I have a steady stream of Painted Buntings all day long. The males are stunningly beautiful, with just a splash of vivid red, blue, green and yellow. They are often described as the most beautiful songbird in North America. No photograph can do them justice. You just have to see one for yourself. The female is olive green with a greenish yellow belly. Sadly, because of their beautiful colors they are popular as cage birds in Europe and are trapped on their wintering grounds in Mexico and Central America for oversea sales. There are efforts underway through various organizations to protect them. Painted Buntings prefer a habitat that includes woodland edges with shrubby, brushy areas. They are often found along roadsides and in weedy fields. They share this habitat preference with the Indigo Bunting. I get an occasional Indigo at my feeders, but they are not as regular as

DAN GEDDINGS / SPECIAL TO THE ITEM

A pair of rainbow-hued Painted Buntings feeds at Dan Geddings’ backyard feeder. the Painted’s. Indigo’s are electric blue. They shine and glitter, and are luminous and iridescent. When you see one you know that it is no common Blue bird. They are smaller, and faster, like the Painted Buntings. Of course, the squirrels come up from the woods, but I have guards to keep them from climbing into the feeders. We’ve had rabbits and even deer and turkeys in our yard. There’s always something to see. I guess that I am lucky to have all

this wildlife just out my kitchen window in my backyard. There are woods behind my house and a huge weedy field out front. One day that field will fill with houses and the critters might be crowded out. But, for now, I can loll around on the couch on rainy days, and drink in this vivid spectacle of nature.

Public alligator hunting season application deadline June 15 BY S.C. DNR The deadline to apply for the S.C. Department of Natural Resources online applications for the 2016 Public Alligator Hunting season and the Wildlife Management Area Alligator Hunting Season is at 11:59 p.m. on June 15. Applications are accepted online at http://1.usa.gov/1PkLv1c. More than 100,000 alligators live from the Midlands to the coast of South Carolina, and the population is not threatened by the regulated removal of a relatively small number of alligators. Last year, hunters took 333 alligators during the public alligator hunting season, with

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 5/25 Bass: Good. Steve Harmon reports that one group of bass can be found up shallow in 1-5 feet of water where they will eat frogs, but many of the bigger fish have moved out to deeper points and ditches. These fish can be caught on worms as well as spinnerbaits and swimbaits. Catfish: Fair to Good. Captain Jim Glenn (843-825-4239) reports that catfish are moving back and forth between shallow and deeper water, and a ton of small blue cats continue to be caught to go along with some occasional big fish. Bream: Fair to Good. Captain Steve English reports that bluegill and shellcrackers are moving up to spawn around new and full moons, and then heading back to deeper water in between moon phases. Worms and crickets will catch fish. Crappie: Fair. Captain Steve English reports that crappie can be found around mid-depth brush where they will eat minnows. Fishing in the lower lake has been a little better than the upper lake. Midlands Area Lake Wateree 6/2 Bass: Good. Dearal Rodgers reports that fish can be found both shallow around the grass as well as deeper in 10-15 feet of water around structure, but the best bite is in the transitional zone between shallow and deep water. Buzzbaits, spinnerbaits, jigs and soft plastics will all catch fish.

the average size being nearly 9 feet in length. A $10 nonrefundable application fee is required to apply for the Public Lands Hunt and a $15 nonrefundable application fee is charged to apply for the Wildlife Management Area Alligator Hunt. A randomized computer drawing based on a preference point system will determine the selection of hunters. Applicants can only apply and pay fees online or at one of the walk-up counters at a SCDNR regional office in Clemson, Florence, Columbia or Charleston. No paper applications will be accepted. This year’s season will begin at noon on Sept. 10 and run until noon on Oct.

Catfish: Fair. Captain Rodger Taylor (803517-7828) reports that most fish are focused on spawning, and that can make for more challenging catfish conditions. While it is still worth trying up the river for a big bite, particularly when current is present, the best bite may be further down the lake where pre-spawn and post-spawn fish are more likely to be found. Anglers should experiment with a variety of cut baits to find what the fish want. Crappie: Good. Will Hinson advises that the largest numbers of fish are moving towards mid-depth brush where they will eat jigs and minnows. With clarity best in the lower lake the best catches have come from that area. Lake Greenwood 5/24 Bass: Tough. Stan Gunter reports that fish are in a transition period between shallow and deep water and getting bites is not easy. Some fish can be caught early around seawalls on topwater lures, and others are in mid-depth to deeper water where they will take worms and crankbaits. Striper: Good. Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) reports that striper are being caught on free lines as well as down-lines fished at the depth where anglers mark fish. Schooling should get hot soon. Catfish: Fair to good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that channel catfish can be caught around humps and points on dip baits and cut herring. Lake Monticello 5/24 Bass: Fair to Good. Andy Wicker reports that this is still a transition period; while some smaller fish can still be caught shallow on topwater lures and flukes, better fish may be beginning to transition out to deeper humps and offshore structure. Deep-diving crankbaits and spoons will both catch fish. Catfish: Inconsistent. Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) reports that some days the bite for large blue catfish is very good, but on other days the fishing can be very slow. Similarly, the free-line drifting bite

8. One thousand permits are available for the Public Lands Alligator Hunt, and the coastal plain is divided into four alligator management units with 250 permits allocated for each unit. Applicants can select the option to be considered for any number (or all) of the units, but the issued permit will only allow them to hunt in one unit per season. If selected, a $100 fee for the permit and one harvest tag is required to be paid online through the same online alligator hunting application system. All selected hunters and assistants must have a hunting license, and if a nonresident, pay the nonresident alligator hunting fee.

is inconsistent – it may take some more warm weather before it gets more reliable. Small pieces of cut bait are the best option right now for all sizes of fish. Lake Murray 5/24 Bass: Fair. Captain Doug Lown reports that first thing in the morning some fish can be found shallow feeding on bait, and later in the day fish can be found around rocky points where they will take Carolina rigs. Throwing topwaters early in the creeks can also catch fish. Crappie: Excellent. Captain Brad Taylor (803-331-1354) reports that crappie fishing has been very strong with minnows fished over brush in about 15-20 feet of water. Striped bass: Good. Captain Brad Taylor reports that first thing free lines and planer boards will catch fish, and after that down lines in the 40-foot range have been productive. Catfish: Good. Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) reports that fan-casting cut herring and dip baits around humps has been productive for channel catfish. Piedmont Area Lake Thurmond 5/25 Bass: Slow to Fair. Buckeye Lures reports that this is a transition period for bass with the herring spawn over and fish moving out to deeper water. First thing there can be a decent topwater bite but after that dragging soft plastics over humps is the best pattern. Crappie: Very Good to Excellent. Captain William Sasser (864-333-2000) reports that crappie are biting very well for anglers fishing minnows over brush in coves just off the main lake. Striper and Hybrids: Good to very good. Captain William Sasser reports that first thing there is some good schooling activity around the dam, and as the day progresses fish are setting up on the bottom in 25-50 feet of water. Catfish: Good to Very Good. Captain William Sasser reports that this is peak catfish season on Clarks Hill and channels and flatheads can be caught

Unsuccessful applicants will accumulate preference points for future alligator hunt drawings. Preference points add to the likelihood of being drawn in future years. All hunters will be notified via e-mail beginning in mid-July of their selection status. By law, the fees collected are used to support the Alligator Management Program’s research and management activities, and for conservation of the American alligator in South Carolina. Please check the DNR alligator hunting website at www.dnr.sc.gov/ wildlife/alligator/index.html for any changes, updates, and general alligator hunting information.

around riprap on a Carolina-rigged piece of cut herring. Shellcracker: Good to Very Good. Captain William Sasser reports that shellcracker are spawning and can be caught shallow on nightcrawlers. Lake Wylie 6/2 Bass: Fair to good. FLW angler Bryan New reports that the deep bite is significantly better than any shallow pattern. Carolina rigs, swimbaits, jigs and deep-running crankbaits will all catch fish around offshore structure. Catfish: Fair. Captain Rodger Taylor (803517-7828) reports that priority one for the fish is spawning, and that can make for a tougher catfish bite. Anglers need to display a lot of flexibility and be willing to move around, anchor, drift and try different baits. While it is still worth trying up the river for a big bite, particularly when there is current, more catchable fish may be found in the less riverine areas. Lake Russell 5/26 Bass: Good. Guides Jerry Kotal (706-9880860) and Wendell Wilson (706-283-3336) report that there is a decent shallow bass bite early on topwater lures. During the day bass can be caught on live bait or soft plastics fished off mid-depth points. Striped Bass: Very Good. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that solid numbers of large striper have been caught recently on freelined herring pulled over mid-depth water away from timber. Catfish: Fair to Good. Guide Jerry Kotal reports that channel catfish can be caught in the backs of coves and cuts on cut bait. Crappie: Fair to Good. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that pretty good numbers of decent-sized crappie can be caught over relatively shallow brush, but the biggest fish have mostly already headed out to deeper brush. Mountains Area Lake Hartwell 5/24 Bass: Fair to good. Guide Brad Fowler reports that this is a transition period for bass as fish start to move from a spring

to summer pattern. While many fish are starting to move to deeper water where they will take soft plastics fished deep, there are still fish relatively shallow that will take topwater lures. Striped Bass: Good. Captain Bill Plumley (864-287-2120) and Guide Chip Hamilton (864-304-9011) report that striper continue to transition down the lake and out of the backs, and they have gotten a little deeper in the last week. The best bite is on down-lined herring fished just off the bottom in 30-50 feet of water. Catfish: Good. Captain Bill Plumley reports that blue catfish have moved into the 30-foot depth range, but channel catfish are scattered out in the shallow to middle depths where they will eat dip baits, cut bait, worms and more. Flathead catfish can be caught at night on live bait. Crappie: Fair. Captain Bill Plumley reports that the crappie bite is pretty good around mid-depth brush and bridges on minnows, and night fishing has been a litter better than daytime fishing. Lake Keowee 5/24 Bass: Fair to good. Guide Brad Fowler reports that this is a transition period on Lake Keowee, and with the spawn concluded fish are starting to move towards their summer holes. In the morning there is a decent topwater bite, and after that fish will take soft plastics fished on the bottom off the ends of deeper points and humps. Lake Jocassee 5/24 Trout: Good. Guide Sam Jones (864280-9056) reports that some nice trout continue to be caught on Jocassee, with numbers and sizes still pretty strong. Fish are being caught on spoons and minnows fished in the 30-80 foot range, and while fish are still spread out over the lake, they are starting to group up in the big water.
