Churches honor fathers, father-figures 2nd annual event proves successful; organizers hope to expand next year BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com Jehovah Missionary Baptist Church and Quntwarica Church celebrated local fathers and mentors on Saturday during a fathers’ appreciation event to thank the men who have been and are still instrumental to the well being of their families and the community. This is the second year the two churches have come together to honor fathers. The event, themed “A Stroll in the Park,” featured many things that could be found in an actual park including live performances from various church members, a sketch artist, chess, jump roping, mimes and a picnic. Raymond Logan said a good father is a man who follows the word of God. If a man gets all of his instructions from scripture, he cannot go wrong, he said. Logan added that Saturday’s event was a great display of the fellowship between the men and women of the church. Ernest Butler was also impressed with the atmosphere

Locals share their thoughts on Trump’s proposed Muslim ban

On Wednesday, Andrea Drayton looks over family photos that show her daughter, Deonka Drayton, a victim of the recent mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida. Drayton and family rushed from South Carolina to Orlando after learning of the shooting.

S.C. family’s excruciating journey ends in forgiveness LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Andrea Drayton woke up Sunday to a mother’s worst nightmare when her phone buzzed with a text message: Her daughter Deonka was at a club in Orlando, there was gunfire and Drayton needed to come to Florida fast. Drayton, her husband, Shepherd, son Shepherd III and daughter Alexia piled into the family car and began an excruciating early morning journey from South Carolina to Orlando, where a gunman had opened fire at a gay nightclub in an attack that left 49 victims and the killer dead. Drayton called the friend of her daughter who had sent the text. The friend said “a bomb went off.”

“I couldn’t understand what she meant with that,” Drayton recalled, realizing later it was a police explosive used to distract the shooter. The family found only DEONKA chaos when they arrived DRAYTON in Orlando on Sunday afternoon. They called hospitals. They asked police and others if they had seen 32-year-old Deonka Drayton. They held up pictures of her. Nothing. They found their way to a senior center set up a few blocks from the

After the Orlando massacre, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump repeated his proposal to ban Muslims from immigrating and traveling to the United States until “as a nation we’re in a position to properly and perfectly screen these people coming into our country,” Time Magazine reported Monday. The five-year long Syrian Civil War has claimed 250,000 lives and driven 11 million from their homes in a country with a pre-war population of 23 million, according to a March 11 BBC News article. Floods of refugees have poured into neighboring countries to escape the fighting. The Los Angeles Times reported on Sept. 8, 2015, that Turkey had taken in 1.9 million refugees and tiny Lebanon 1.1 million. While many European countries have closed their doors to migrants, Germany had taken in 98,783 Syrians as of last September and Sweden 64,685. According to a Nov. 30 Time magazine article, the United States has taken in 2,290 Syrians since the conflict began. A random group of people in downtown Sumter were asked this question Friday: “What are your feelings about Donald Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from traveling or immigrating to the U.S.?”

Stephanie Reyes said: “It’s not fair because not all of them are the same, just like everybody in the United States is not the same. We can’t blame the REYES whole nation for the actions of evil people.” Wayne Rogers said: “If they’re coming out of that region, whether they’re Muslim or Christian or anything else, if you can’t vet them, and how are you going to vet someone if you’ve got no records, you don’t ROGERS have a clue as to who they are. We’re better off setting up safe zones there, protecting them there, than bringing them over here. Because the law of averages tells you that if you let a hundred refugees in, chances are you’re going to have at least one that’s a radical.” Mitch Ellerby, a veteran of the Vietnam War, said, “I’m very, very concerned about those comments that he made and believe me, I went to one war, and if this man is keeping the direction he’s going, we’re going ELLERBY to wind up in another war.

Brooks Rauschenbach, 9, and his mother Kimberly buy pastries from Cathy Phillips during the farmer’s market on Saturday in the parking lot next to the new downtown Subway. The market moved across Liberty Street to facilitate construction in its old location.

Patrons at the downtown bazaar take home more than produce BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com

rom fresh vegetables to pastries, handmade jewelry and paintings, Downtown Sumter Farmer’s Market has it all. If you are searching for unique pieces made from recycled items or homemade treats, stop by Cathy Phillips’ booth. Everything Phillips sells is made by hand and the non-edible merchandise is made from up-cycled items purchased from thrift stores and Habitat for Humanity ReStore. Phillips’ passion for making up-cycled items stemmed from her fascination for tea cups and saucers which she now turns into bird feeders for gardens. She has been up-cycling items for about eight years and started selling her creations at the farmer’s market about four years ago. Her crafting grew to include tote bags made from recycled dog food and chicken feed bags, aprons made from old blue jeans and jewelry made from

bottle caps and Scrabble tiles. Her most popular items include her unique bird feeders as well as her homemade key lime canolis stuffed with a key lime filling. Phillips, founder of Nana’s Sweet Treats, sells other treats such as decorated sugar cookies and guava pastries made from a tropical fruit that is native to Central and South America. She said guava may not be well known in the area but assured that it is delicious. Phillips’ booth is set up on most farmer’s market days but anyone interested in her up-cycled items or sweet treats can find more information by searching The Up-Cyclng Junkie on Facebook or by calling Nana’s Sweet Treats at (803) 983-8407. Phillips can also be contacted at UpCyclingJunkie@ aol.com or caphillips62@aol.com. Those who frequent the downtown farmer’s market may have noticed a new face at a jewelry and art booth. Richelle Aquino, who moved to Sumter from Charleston in February, also sells handmade crystal jewelry along

with paintings and graphic design art. One of Aquino’s best selling jewelry pieces is her “Cinderella bracelet” for babies and children. The light blue and clear crystals with black and silver accents are similar to the color scheme associated with Disney Cinderella’s dress. She started out making more eccentric jewelry pieces for herself but decided to make more classic and dainty jewelry with crystal. With degrees in studio art and graphic design, customers are sure to get unique pieces from someone with a deep passion for art. “I couldn’t see myself doing anything else,” Aquino said. She also displays and sells her paintings, some featuring inspirational phrases over scenes of mountains and sunsets. For more information about Aquino’s art, contact her at creativeshellie@ yahoo.com or (803) 814-0653.

Consistency, patience key to results you want

hile we all know that the benefits of exercise far outweigh any risks, beginning an exercise program is a lifelong investment. It is true that exercise needs to be current in order to reap the heart health benefits, but what we once thought was lost muscle or lack of muscle can be regained or gained quickly. Consistency and patience is vital to getting the results Missy you want to achieve. Corrigan Muscles are either developed or not or can atrophy because of injury or lack of use. When this occurs the size and strength of the muscle decreases.

Shrinking muscles is a fear of many committed gym goers and because holding on to the muscle takes consistency and commitment, many may be turned off from strength training altogether. Despite similar training, muscle size varies among individuals. And muscle size has no bearing on muscle strength as someone with smaller muscles may be just as strong or even stronger than someone with bigger muscles. Research shows that the key to muscle size and strength are not necessarily in the exercise itself but more so in the nuclei that control protein synthesis. The more nuclei you have, the more protein you can turn into muscle. How much nuclei a person can create is unknown and is more likely genetic, and research varies in the

number of reps it takes to develop nuclei, anywhere from 300-10,000 reps. When you first begin weight training, the gains may be slow. We expect immediate muscle growth for the demand we are placing on the muscles. However, the same research also shows that creating nuclei is the first effect that training has on the muscles, not strength or size. For this reason, it is important to be patient and continue training to see the benefits. This is why over time your body changes. The more consistent you are in your training, the more nuclei you can develop for muscle growth and strength. One new finding in the research published in the Journal of Physiology showed that these nuclei are never lost, even in periods of de-

training, injury or atrophy. These nuclei remain, which suggests that any resistance training changes the physiology of your muscles forever. Additionally, this lends support to muscle memory; the body is able to bounce back more quickly after injury or time off. Furthermore, it is easier for someone who was once a lifter, even decades ago, to develop a physique more quickly than someone who has never lifted a weight or exercised before. For this reason, it is important to start training as soon as possible to set the foundation. Like riding a bike, if you were once an athlete, it’s time to get out and get moving. Your muscles will quickly recall the movement and for those who are young, get started early so you can create those nuclei and benefit for the rest of your life.

Drought creeping into northwest South Carolina BY JEFFREY COLLINS The Associated Press COLUMBIA — People might not know it from the lush fields and full lakes in most of South Carolina, but drought is creeping into the northwest corner of the state. A June heat wave combined with weeks of dry weather has a moderate drought now covering nearly all of four counties, according to data from the National Drought Mitigation Center. The biggest worry is agriculture, where farmers who grow corn and other row crops need rain to help their plants thrive. Stream flows and groundwater levels are still high from abundant rains in the winter and fall, but a true long, hot, dry summer could begin to deplete those reserves, officials said. Dennis Chastain lives at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains in northern Pickens County. The pond on his cattle farm where the animals drink has dropped 18 inches in the past four weeks, an early indicator of a slowly building drought. “It’s really getting pretty seriously dry. It’s not a problem yet, but I want people to be aware,” said Chastain, who is a member of the state’s Drought Response Committee. The dry weather is the worst in Anderson, Green-

ville, Oconee and Pickens counties, with the building drought spreading back westward through the mountains of North Carolina and northern Georgia and Alabama. While Chastain is worried, he said the situation isn’t dire. “Where we are right now, one or two good rainfall events and we will be right back where we need to be,” he said. The rest of South Carolina has fared much better. The spring was dry enough to let standing water from October’s catastrophic floods drain away, but there has been enough rain to keep crops growing. The remnants of Tropical Storm Bonnie brought beneficial rains to the state outside the drought at a critical time in late May, farmers said. The majority of corn, peach and peanut farmers report their crops in good to excellent condition. Corn and cotton farmers are also faring well, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s farm report. But a glance at rainfall maps show a sudden drop off in rainfall moving north and west in the state. Chastain in northern Pickens County has only got less than a half-inch of rain so far in June. Other areas of the state father west and

east have gotten up to 8 inches of rain. The dry areas have seen less than half their normal rainfall in the past month, while areas south and east

of Interstate 20 and Interstate 77 have seen two to three times their normal precipitation in the past month, according to the Southeast Regional Climate

Center’s maps. “One of the things that has characterized this year is it is either boom or bust,” Chastain said about the rainstorms.

Democrats hope to give Trump ‘rude awakening’ NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Donald Trump’s unconventional campaign is about to feel the heat of political organization. Hillary Clinton and her Democratic allies have invested at least $41 million in commercials in crucial states such as Ohio, Florida and Nevada during the next six weeks, a series of summer broadsides against her Republican opponent. Those messages will be echoed by hundreds of Clinton workers in those same states and amplified by President Obama and other top Democrats. Trump has made few preparations for contending with that sort of welloiled political machine. His campaign has no advertising plans and is just now hiring employees in important states. Republican leaders are far from in agreement on how best to talk to voters about the polarizing billionaire, or if they will at all. And Trump is running out of time: Early voting starts in Iowa in just 3½ months. “It’s political malpractice,” said Mitch Stewart, Obama’s 2012 battleground states director and a Clinton backer. “He’s in for a rude awakening. This isn’t a national vote contest where you can be on cable news every day and dominate coverage. This is lit-

erally going state by state and coming up with a plan in each.” Clinton’s large June and July ad buy comes as a reward for her near-constant fundraising. In May, she raised $27 million in primary election money that must be used before she accepts her party’s nomination at the convention in late July. Trump is playing catch up. He did not begin raising money in earnest until May 25, having largely financed his primary bid through personal loans to his campaign. Clinton’s latest spots, highlighting her past advocacy for children, are an attempt to reintroduce the returning presidential candidate — she lost the 2008 Democratic primary to Obama — to general election voters. Her campaign is spending about $23 million on ads by the convention, according to advertising tracker Kantar Media’s CMAG. But those voters are also hearing from Priorities USA, a super political action committee financed by millions of dollars from Clinton’s staunchest supporters. The goal of those that $18.7 million batch of ads: cast Trump as a con-man and bully unprepared to be commander in chief. “When I saw Donald Trump mock someone with a disability, it showed

me his soul. It showed me his heart,” says the father of a young girl with spina bifida, whose story is featured in one of the ads. It’s a strategy Democrats successfully used four years ago against Obama’s GOP opponent, Mitt Romney. During that summer, Priorities USA relied on an intensely negative advertising campaign to define Romney as unconcerned with the worries of average Americans. Now, facing an opponent with far

higher negative ratings and a weaker political organization, Democrats see an opportunity not only to retain the White House but make a strong play for winning control of the Senate and adding scores of Democrats to the House. In the past week, Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., have lined up behind Clinton. Her primary rival, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, is expected to support her eventually.

Yet to concede, Sanders says he’ll work for Trump’s defeat BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — Pressing his “political revolution” to turn its attention to defeating Donald Trump, Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders said he will work with Hillary Clinton to transform the Democratic Party itself and “create the America that we know we can become.” Sanders spoke Thursday night in a livestream address to political supporters two days after the final primary election of the nomination race. The major task they now face is to “make certain” the presumptive Republican nominee loses in November, he said, adding that he plans to begin his role in that process “in a very short period of time.” “But defeating Donald Trump cannot be our only goal,” Sanders said, pointing to his 1,900 delegates at next month’s Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. “We must continue our grassroots efforts to create the America that we know we can become.” On Friday, Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver said a “tremendous burden” is falling on Clinton to demonstrate that she has heard the voices of the young people who powered Sanders’ effort. Weaver said the Sanders team is in contact with the Clinton campaign daily as the two sides work to resolve differences. Yet when asked on MSNBC whether Sanders is still running for president, Weaver said repeatedly, “Yes he is.” Although Clinton has secured enough pledged delegates and superdelegates to become the presumptive nominee, Sanders did not concede the race or refer to Clinton as the likely nominee, instead offering a lengthy list of policy proposals he hopes to see approved by the party. The two rivals met Tuesday night at a Washington hotel to discuss policy goals and plans. Sanders said that while it is “no secret” that he and Clinton have “strong disagreements on some very important issues,” it was “also true that our views are quite close on others.” He said he looked forward to additional talks between the two campaigns to ensure that his supporters’ voices are heard and the convention adopts “the most progressive platform” in the party’s history. Sanders said he anticipated working with Clinton “to transform the Democratic Party so that it becomes a party of working people and young people and not just wealthy campaign contributors.” The speech — it could be Sanders’ final address before the summer convention — was viewed by more than 200,000 people, according to the campaign. It sought to shape his legacy as a onetime “fringe” candidate who generated a massive following through sprawling rallies

and threatened Clinton for the nomination. Looking ahead to the convention, Sanders said the party must support a $15-anhour federal minimum wage, pay equity for women, a ban on the sale and distribution of assault weapons and a defeat of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont., speaks during a campaign rally at the Cubberley Community Center in Palo Alto, California, on June 1. Since the California primary, Sanders has been offering signals about what he will do next to shape the party’s platform at the convention, help downballot Democrats and defeat Donald Trump.

Court convicts Auschwitz guard, 94, as accessory to murder Judge sentences former sergeant to 5 years in prison DETMOLD, Germany (AP) — A 94-year-old former SS sergeant was found guilty Friday of 170,000 counts of accessory to murder and sentenced to five years in prison for serving as an Auschwitz guard, in a verdict that survivors from the Nazi death camp hailed as a long overdue victory. Reinhold Hanning, sitting in a wheelchair, listened attentively but showed no reaction as Presiding Judge Anke Grudda read the ruling in state court in Detmold, Germany. She said Hanning was a cog in a “perfectly functioning machinery” of destruction, helping operate the death camp in Nazi-occupied Poland where some 1.1 million people, primarily Jews, were killed. “You were in Auschwitz for two-and-a-half years and performed an important function,” she said. “You were part of a criminal organization and took part in criminal activity in Auschwitz.” Auschwitz survivor Hedy Bohm, who came from Toronto to testify at the trial and for the verdict, said she was “grateful and pleased by this justice finally after 70 years.” “It is my dream to be in Germany, in a German court, with German judges acknowledging the Holocaust,” the 88-year-old said. Bohm was one of four survivors present for the verdict who also joined the trial as coplaintiffs as allowed under German law. Overall, about a dozen survivors testified during the four-month trial, and 58 survivors or their relatives joined as co-plaintiffs. In her ruling, Grudda said much of their testimony put to rest any criticism that the

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Ninety-four-year-old former SS sergeant Reinhold Hanning, who served as a guard at Auschwitz, sits in the courtroom in Detmold on Friday. He has been found guilty of more than 170,000 counts of accessory to murder on allegations he helped the Nazi death camp kill 1.1 million Jews and others. Hanning was sentenced to five years in prison. crimes of the Nazis were too far in the past to prosecute today. “Anyone who had the opportunity to hear the testimony of the co-plaintiffs can answer the question of importance of such a trial,” she said. Hanning’s attorney, Andreas Scharmer, suggested an

appeal was likely, and Hanning won’t have to serve any prison time until his appeals are exhausted. He had faced a maximum of 15 years. Hanning’s defense had called for an acquittal, saying there is no evidence he killed or beat anyone, while prosecutors sought a six-year sentence.

Scharmer said he was not surprised by the verdict. “I didn’t expect the court to have the courage for an acquittal,” he said. In sentencing Hanning, Grudda said “there is no appropriate punishment” for his crimes but that the court had to follow guidelines and also take into account his age, his statement of remorse and the length of time that had elapsed since the crimes. “We cannot and should not punish him symbolically for all the perpetrators of the Holocaust,” she said. Hanning had testified that he volunteered for the SS at age 18 and served in Auschwitz from January 1942 to June 1944 but said he was not involved in the killings. “It disturbs me deeply that I was part of such a criminal organization,” he told the court in April. “I am ashamed that I saw injustice and never did anything about it, and I apologize for my actions.” After the verdict, Leon Schwarzbaum, a 95-year-old Auschwitz survivor from Berlin, said he had slipped Hanning’s attorney a letter urging him to have his client detail more about what

he knew about the death camp’s operations for the sake of educating younger generations. “Mr. Hanning should have said more about what he saw in Auschwitz and what he did in Auschwitz — he did not tell what Auschwitz was,” Schwarzbaum said. “It was a hell on earth.” Hanning joined the Hitler Youth with his class in 1935 at age 13, then volunteered at 18 for the Waffen SS in 1940 at the urging of his stepmother. He fought in several battles in World War II before being hit by grenade splinters in his head and leg during close combat in Kiev in 1941. He told the court that as he was recovering from his wounds he asked to be sent back, but his commander decided he was no longer fit for front-line duty and so sent him to Auschwitz, without his knowing what it was. Though there was no evidence Hanning was responsible for a specific crime, he was tried under new legal reasoning that as a guard he helped the death camp operate and thus could be tried for accessory to murder.

Lawsuits may offer fodder for Trump, Clinton attack ads SAN DIEGO (AP) — The presidential campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are both trying to prevent the release of videos that are critical to legal cases involving the candidates. Trump’s lawyers are intensifying efforts to stop the release of video of the presumptive Republican presidential nominee testifying under oath in a fraud lawsuit about the now-defunct Trump University. They told a federal judge in San Diego Wednesday that the video could be used by the media and Trump’s opponents during the campaign. Lawyers for a top Clinton aide used similar arguments to persuade another judge to keep video depositions sealed in a lawsuit about the likely Democratic nominee’s use of a private email server while she was America’s top diplomat. While the arguments are similar, judges may treat them differently. In the Clinton case, a federal judge in the District of Columbia ruled last month that transcripts of all depositions be made public but that audio and video be sealed. In Trump’s case in San Diego, U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel — a target of Trump’s intense, enduring scorn — hasn’t decided how much to release and whether it should include audio and video. Late Wednesday, Trump lawyer Daniel Petrocelli expanded on why the videos should stay private, saying they could fuel a “media frenzy.” His seven-page filing raises no objection to releasing transcripts. “Owing to the danger that a video may create in eliciting bias on the part of its viewer, the Court has a duty to prevent their disclosure because they can taint the jury pool. Undoubtedly, these videos also will be used by the media and others in connection with the presidential campaign,” he wrote. The outcome may shape attack ads on issues that have dogged both candidates. John Geer, a political science pro-

Real estate mogul, reality TV star and presumptive Republican nominee for president Donald Trump, left, listens in 2005 as Michael Sexton introduces him at a news conference in New York where he announced the establishment of Trump University. The presidential campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Trump are both trying to prevent the public release of videos that are critical to legal cases involving the candidates. ed to rule at a hearing June 30 or soon after. Lawyers representing Trump University’s former customers in two class-action suits in San Diego argue they should be permitted to release video excerpts because they present “a more complete picture” than the transcripts. Trump’s tone, facial expressions, gestures and body language show “complete and utter unfamiliarity” with Trump University’s instructors and instruction, despite the business mogul’s previous statements that he was extensively involved, the attorneys wrote in a filing last week. They said Trump also made “many spontaneous and ad hominem remarks that are not reflected in the paper tran-

fessor at Vanderbilt University who studies attack ads in presidential campaigns, said video is “great stuff” to tarnish opponents. “It helps to make the case by having not only the words but the person actually saying them,” Geer said. “It’s not just the message, it’s the messenger. … Sometimes the transcripts will be sterile. You can’t detect sarcasm. The body language makes a difference.” Partial transcripts have been released of Trump testifying at an all-day deposition Dec. 10 at his New York office and for three hours on Jan. 21 at a Las Vegas law office. Several news organizations are seeking full disclosure of those sessions — including video — and Curiel is expect-

can use the word ‘fantasy’ if you want. Or I could use the word ‘fantasy,’ but, sure, you want to play to something that’s beautiful and good and successful,” he said. Trump couldn’t recall names of his employees, undermining his advertising pitch that he “hand-picked” them. When confronted with a statement by Trump University’s former president that Trump never picked instructors, he said: “This is the longest deposition I’ve ever done in terms of no break. So I need breaks because I have to make some calls.” Trump is pressed on his blog posts in 2008 that Bill Clinton was a great president and Hillary Clinton would make a great president or vice president. Of his praise for Hillary Clinton, he said, “I didn’t give it a lot of thought, because I was in business.” Legal experts say judges generally have wide discretion on making depositions public. Erwin Chemerinsky, dean of University of California, Irvine, School of Law, thinks evidence — including video — should be released with rare exceptions, including to protect trade secrets or privacy. “The fact that someone might use it in a bad way to embarrass isn’t a reason for secrecy,” he said.

script of his depositions.” Clinton’s campaign needled Trump on Thursday with a news release titled “What’s Donald Trying to Hide?” Yet a top Clinton aide took the same position in the lawsuit about Clinton’s emails. U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan sided with lawyers for Clinton aide Cheryl Mills, who objected to releasing video but not the transcript. Her lawyers argued that “snippets or soundbites of the deposition may be publicized in a way that exploits Ms. Mills’ image and voice in an unfair and misleading manner.” Mills, who was Clinton’s chief of staff at the State Department, said during her five-hour deposition last month that she discussed Clinton’s private server with a technical aide who helped set up and run the system, according to a transcript released by Judicial Watch, the conservative advocacy group that sued for access to records. Mills is among a halfdozen current and former officials whom Judicial Watch plans to question. In portions of Trump’s testimony that have been released, he acknowledged that he plays on people’s fantasies. “Sure, you want to — life, you want to — you want to play to something that’s positive and beautiful.

EgyptAir black boxes found badly damaged Probe could be prolonged by repairs needed to analyze data CAIRO (AP) — The voice and data recorders from the EgyptAir plane that crashed into the Mediterranean nearly a month ago are “extensively damaged” and will need repairs before they can be analyzed, an Egyptian official said Friday, dampening hopes for quick answers as to what caused the disaster. The official didn’t elaborate on how long the repairs would take but said if this cannot be done in Egypt, the so-called “black boxes” would be sent abroad. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak to the media. With the wreckage of the Airbus A320 some 3,000 meters under water, the cockpit voice and flight data recorders are vital for piecing together the last moments of the flight, which plunged into the sea between the Greek island of Crete and the Egyptian port city of Alexandria on May 19, killing all 66 on board. Earlier in the day, Egypt’s investigation commission said the flight data recorder had been pulled out of the sea, a day after the cockpit voice recorder was also recovered. Both were brought to Cairo for analysis. The memory units inside the recorders can provide key data, including the last conversations inside the cockpit, information about auto-pilot mode or even smoke alarms. They might also give answers to why the pilot made no distress call before the crash. Experts say the data, combined with previously obtained satellite and radar images, debris analysis, the plane history and the pilots’ records, can shed light on the most possible scenarios. No militant group has claimed bringing down the aircraft. “We will be having a wealth of information that helps the investigators eliminate some possibilities while giving priority to others,” said Hani Galal, an Egyptian aviation expert. He is not involved in this crash investigation but has taken part in other similar probes. Both France and the United States are sending investiga-

tors to Cairo to help with the probe. EgyptAir Flight 804 en route to Cairo from Paris disappeared May 19 from radar at about 2:45 a.m local time, just as it had entered Egyptian airspace. Radar data showed the aircraft had made violent moves after cruising normally in clear skies, plummeting from 38,000 feet to 15,000 feet. It disappeared when it was at an altitude of about 10,000 feet. Leaked flight data indicated a sensor had detected smoke in a lavatory and a fault in two of the plane’s cockpit windows in the final moments of the flight. Egypt’s civil aviation minister, Sherif Fathi, has said that terrorism is a more probable cause than equipment failure or some other catastrophic event. Families of the victims are losing hope the remains of their loved ones can be recovered intact from the seabed so long after the crash but knowing what had caused it could bring closure. “Finding answers to our many questions will give us some relief,” said Malek Zayada, speaking over the phone from the Sudanese capital, Khartoum. His brother, Mohammed Saleh Zayada, a 62-year-old UNESCO scholar who specialized in translation and history, was one of the passengers on the flight. Vessel John Lethbridge, contracted by the Egyptian government to search for the wreckage pulled the data recorder out of the sea in stages, according to Friday’s statement from the Egyptian committee. On Thursday, the committee said that the voice recorder was also pulled out of the water but had been damaged. “The analysis might take several weeks,” depending on the condition of the recorders’ memory units, the committee said. The discovery of the boxes came after search teams earlier this week spotted the wreckage and started mapping its debris on the seabed. Previously, the Egyptian military announced only small floating pieces of debris and some human remains were found.

COMMENTARY

Father’s Day, Facebook and Sumter memories

his week’s lengthy screed contains a variety of musings and observations. In other words, if you read it at night you’ll sleep well because there won’t be anything on your mind. First of all, Happy Father’s Day to all you fathers out there and esGraham pecially to Osteen my dad, Hubert, known to area readers for more than 60 years by many colorful names depending on who or what he’s writing about that day. In the newsroom he’s still known as “Eagle Eye” and “Mr. O.” Rock on, Father. It’s your day. ••• At various times in the past few years, I’ve noticed on The Sumter Item Facebook page that some readers complain when they can’t access the entire story being promoted on that Sumter Item Facebook page. You may notice the word promoted is emphasized using bold letters. Let me explain how we approach this process in terms of food, because everybody likes to eat. We routinely put the beginning of stories along with their links on The Sumter Item Facebook page as an appetizer. If you’re a Sumter Item subscriber you simply click the link and are taken directly to our site — www.theitem.com — for the full, flavorful meal. If you’re not a subscriber, then we offer the opportunity — and encourage you — to subscribe to our newspaper in order to see the entire story, support local community journalism, build Sumter through improved communication and play your part in keeping America safe. Those are just some of the many noble things community newspapers do. We’re not going to give away all the “food,” or content, because the smart, committed people who produce the news and advertising information you depend on are not doing it for free. They’re professionals who are paid to create quality work that provides perspective and sheds light on local citizens and important civic issues. We believe that local citizens who care about their schools, government, law enforcement, businesses and institutions care about the things we cover, which is why we pay people to do it for you. Otherwise you might unwittingly rely on misguided amateur commenters on social media for important information. Facebook is simply a tool for us to promote our work — like an online billboard. Please don’t forget to “like it” and make a nice comment about how much you appreciate it. ••• Speaking of Facebook, there’s a popular public group on there created by a lady named Carolyn Bailey Wilkins called, “You Might Be From Sumter, S.C., If You Remem-

‘We’re not going to give away all the ‘food,’ or content, because the smart, committed people who produce the news and advertising information you depend on are not doing it for free. They’re professionals who are paid to create quality work that provides perspective and sheds light on local citizens and important civic issues.’ ber ...” The group has an impressive 6,639 members — http://bit.ly/1Sb3Rl6. People from all across the country participate in it, and there have been countless old Sumter Item photos and clippings posted since it began. People are good about properly attributing that work to the newspaper or to The Sumter Item photographer or reporter who originally did it, which we as an institution appreciate. As I’ve noted on that forum before, the single best way to find “old stuff” about Sumter is to use the search tools on www.theitem.com. For example, use the “Advanced Search” feature and simply put in “Sammy Way,” who everyone knows and loves. He’s The Sumter Item’s archivist and our leading local historian. You’ll get all sorts of “Yesteryear” columns that can then be narrowed down further based on what you’re seeking. And guess what? You must be a subscriber to access most of that material, and it’s worth it. Simply subscribe online or call 803-774-1200. For you out-of-towners on the “You Might Be From Sumter” group who don’t want a printed paper mailed to you, I’d recommend an online-only subscription so you can keep up with Sumter and take full advantage of the archives. ••• Finally, you ask, what is the best Father’s Day present of all? For sports fans like yours truly, it’s tonight’s NBA Championship game at 9 p.m. As The Wall Street Journal’s Jason Gay wrote in his Friday column, “There will be a delicious do-or-die Game 7 in Oakland, California, on Sunday night. Cancel all plans. Prepare the TV room. Daddy doesn’t want a Father’s Day bash. He wants to watch the game.” Graham Osteen is Editor-AtLarge of The Sumter Item.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ROUNDABOUTS TOO TIGHT, TOO NARROW I’ve watched with interest the installation of traffic circles (roundabouts) in the area. Well and good, if done right. The two I’ve seen so far are passable but flawed: too tight and too narrow. All one needs to see to find this out is go there and observe all the 18-wheeler tracks over the center island. The latest circle was recently opened on S.C. 763 and Pitts Road. It is simply a nightmare. A half-circle that is sure to create accidents via the confusing right of ways now established. Furthermore, the half-circle lane is woefully narrow and tight. I have a four-door Ford F-150 that is a tight fit. How do you expect 53-inch trucks to get through without the trailer dragging up and over the island? This is not how a traffic circle should be. They need to be larger. I’ve lived in Europe and the U.K. They have proper circles there. The other circles in the county and Clarendon are similar: too small and too tight. This one on S.C. 763 takes the cake though. Someone is going to get hurt or killed there. Stop lights with sensors would have been superior in that location. And now I read here another for McCrays Mill and Pinewood Road. With the current track record, this should be a fun one to watch. DEAN JOHNSON Sumter

WRITER SEES WORLD THROUGH BIBLICAL LENSE I found the two letters to the editor in Thursday’s paper very interesting. One from someone who questions Obama’s many actions during the past seven and a half years. The other from someone who is “fully knowledgeable of the political experience of the two presidential candidates.” I also have the impression he thinks he knows much about the U.S. Constitution and past presidents. When someone seems to know so much, it makes me wonder if perhaps he knows anything about Revelation chapter 6 and if he has an opinion on who it could be referring to? I have an opinion. The book I have been studying is called “Revelation — The Preacher’s Out-

line & Sermon Bible, New International Version.” I am up to Chapter 6:1-8. The Four Horsemen — first, white horse, the antichrist; second, red horse, waging war; third, black horse, control over the economy; and fourth, pale, death by the sword, starvation, disease and wild beasts. On page 94, top left, and I quote, “He is the rider who divides race against race, class against class, neighbor against neighbor, employee against employer, husband against wife, religion against religion and nation against nation. He is the rider who takes peace from the earth and causes every kind of division he can. He is the rider who destroys every human relationship that he can.” At the bottom of page 93, it says, “A world that falls further and further away from God, that experiences increasing sin ... this prepares the way for the antichrist. People will be begging for help in dealing with lawlessness, drunkenness, drugs, occults, crime and on and on.” Chapter 6:9-11 on page 97 says, “In the end time under the antichrist, the peoples of the world will be required to give their first loyalty to the state. The government will demand loyalty to the state first, then the people can have freedom of religion and worship whatever god they wish. This religion will be called “state religion.” The state will be atheistic and exalt itself as god.” In closing: global warming or God’s warning, climate change or Christ’s coming? JACQUELINE K. HUGHES Sumter

BAKER MORE THAN QUALIFIED FOR THE JOB On June 28, 2016, the voters of Sumter County have a very important decision to make on the coroner’s race. As a county, we can move forward and elect a full-time coroner who is 100 percent dedicated to the position of coroner. We can elect a coroner who does not have other interests that easily could be considered a conflict of interest. Robbie Baker is ready, willing and certainly capable of assuming this position on a full-time basis. Listed below are some of the key attributes Robbie will bring

to this job. • 31 years of law enforcement experience; • Five years of homicide and fire fatality investigation; • Bachelor degree in criminal justice; • Certified investigator, S.C. Criminal Justice Academy; • FBI National Academy graduate; • U.S. Army veteran; • Member of American Legion Post 15; and • Member of Northside Memorial Baptist Church Robbie is a “people person” who possesses the skills and abilities to be compassionate, caring and understanding with families during difficult times. To be effective in this position, a coroner must possess these attributes. In Robbie’s 31 years of experience in law enforcement, he has shown that he is capable of supporting families in very difficult situations, including deaths. Please join me at the polls on June 28 and let’s elect a coroner that is fully committed to the position. Please join me in electing Robbie Baker for coroner. Finally, all registered voters that did not vote on the Republican ticket during the June 14 primary are eligible to vote during the runoff on June 28. Two important things to know are that registered Republicans can vote during the Democratic runoffs on June 28 and this will not affect your voting privileges during the November general elections. JOHN W. BAKER Sumter

PASTOR SAYS RE-ELECT BULLOCK CORONER In my role as pastor of Dalzell United Methodist Church for the past six years I have had many occasions in which to view the actions of our current county coroner in his professional role. Whether serving in his capacity as the director of Bullock Funeral Home or in his official role as coroner, Harvin Bullock has always displayed the utmost professionalism, compassion, courtesy and competence. Sumter County citizens should appreciate this dedicated public servant and would do well to re-elect him to office. THE REV. WANDA D. ALTMAN Sumter

REACTION FROM PAGE A1 States do the right thing, and we’ve been doing the right thing in most cases.” Bryce Williams said : “Well, I’m not against Muslim immigration into the United States, but I don’t think we should let Syrian refuWILLIAMS gees in knowing that ISIS is planning on infiltrating them.” John Corella said: “I think that vetting our visitors to this country is a very good thing, so if we could stop bringing them in too quickly it might help. They’re going to allow immigration, because there’s CORELLA no way they can’t. The way he would do it, I think, is vet the people who want to come into our country. He wants to do it for Muslims; he needs to do it for a whole bunch of people. You can’t just do it for Muslims.”

FORGIVENESS FROM PAGE A1 Pulse nightclub for families who couldn’t find their loved ones. Finally, about 10 p.m. on Sunday, they were among the first families to hear. Deonka was among the dead. Anger, sadness and disbelief welled up inside them. They went back to their small hotel room with a view of a busy freeway. They carried Deonka’s black book bag with them. Inside was her Bible, stuffed with scribbled notes about Jesus and questions about life. The family talked and cried and discussed the anger they all felt. Days later, on Wednesday night, as they waited for Deonka’s body to be released to them so they could take her home to Eastover, they forgave. “We forgive the shooter. We talked about it,” said Deonka’s father, a pastor who runs a nonprofit that helps the poor and elderly. “Hatred will find a way to destroy you, so we forgive the shooter. It wasn’t very hard to do. “Anger was in me and there was no place, to release it. Forgiveness was the way to release it.” Deonka, whom the family called Dee Dee, had struggled through some hard times in her life but was starting to find happiness, the family said. A devoutly religious couple from a town of just more than 800 people outside of Columbia, Deonka’s parents struggled with their daughter’s homosexuality at times. But the bond of family endured. “We loved her for who she was,” her mother said. The family was so close, Deonka had her little sister Alexia’s name tattooed on her arm. Deonka’s brother, 25-year-old Shepherd III, said he spent hours reading his sister’s poems and was always impressed with her profound intelligence. Sitting on the hotel room bed, 15-year-old Alexia riffled through her sister’s Bible and remembered her smile, her choppy laugh that everyone noticed. They talked all the time, shared funny videos and had the same favorite color: blue. “It was her goal to go to school. She didn’t have a chance to do everything she wanted to do,” Alexia said, “and now I want to do it for her.”

Fathers line up for lunch during Jehovah Missionary Baptist Church’s Father’s Day celebration on Saturday in the church’s family life building. The event featured performers, lunch and games.

FATHERS FROM PAGE A1 of the celebration and the performances. He said a good father is someone who is always there for his kids when they need him. Even if they are not his biological children, a man needs to look out for children and try to do the right thing for them, he said. To celebrate Father’s

Day, Bulter plans to have a cookout with his children, mother and friends today. Saymon James Jr., who attended the event with his daughter Simone, said a good father is a man who spends time with his children and does his best to support them and their interests. Instead of a tie or coffee mug for Father’s Day, James said he just needs his two daughters. “My kids are my gift,”

he said. “He is the special thing in my life,” Simone said. “I love him.” Women’s Enrichment Ministry President Maria Newton-Tabon said fathers should be recognized every day and not just one day out of the year. She said Saturday’s event was just one way of showing fathers, father-figures and role models that they are valued. The Rev. Johnnie Mc-

Fadden of Quntwarica Church, the women of Jehovah and Fatherhood Buzz, Midlands Fatherhood Coalition and Kenny’s Car Wash partnered together to make the celebration happen. McFadden hopes to expand the partnership to include local businesses, especially barbershops which are frequently visited by men and boys, in order to provide more information and resources for fathers.

Crews make progress against Western fires LOS ANGELES (AP) — Firefighters battling home-threatening wildfires in the West caught a break overnight as gusty winds died down, but with the region bracing for sweltering heat, Saturday’s respite could be brief, authorities said. A four-day-old fire in California’s coastal canyons was 45 percent contained after 40-mph “sundowner” winds failed to materialize. Those evening and night gusts had driven the flames through steep, brushy canyons west of Santa Barbara on previous nights and forced closure of a major highway. No homes have burned, but about 270 homes and ranches are at risk, and campgrounds are

evacuated with flames only 2 miles from more densely populated coastal communities. In central New Mexico, firefighters took advantage of cooler weather overnight to reinforce holding lines around a blaze that has destroyed two dozen homes. Fire lines were strengthened on the western and southern boundaries of a blaze that erupted in the Manzano Mountains south of Albuquerque. However, erratic light winds were possible during the day, which could drive embers and start new spot fires, the U.S. Forest Service warned. The fire has burned more than 27 square miles about 6 miles northwest of Tajique since Tues-

day and spread a pall of smoke as far as Denver. The damage includes 24 homes and nearly as many structures near the small community of Chilili. In Arizona, a fire southwest of Show Low was 30 percent contained. Firefighters beefed up containment areas on the northern and western sides of the blaze. Evacuation orders remain in effect for the community of Forestdale. The fire has burned nearly 19 square miles since Wednesday. Crews in Utah also made gains against three wildfires in the southern part of the state. A 350acre wildfire near Cedar City was 30 percent contained, but the blaze still threatened 20 structures including homes and outbuildings.

Royal rebound After draft destination fell through, former SHS, P-15’s and Fire Ant standout Reardon to join defending champions

BOB STONER / LANDER SPORTS INFORMATION

Former Sumter High, Sumter P-15’s and University of South Carolina Sumter standout Andrew Reardon signed with the defending World Series champion Kansas City Royals on Monday and is currently practicing in Surprise, Ariz., in preparation for rookie ball.

BY JUSTIN DRIGGERS justin@theitem.com For the foreseeable future at least, Andrew Reardon is making a new home for himself in Surprise, Ariz. It’s a fitting name -- especially considering all that transpired to get him there. Like many of his other Lander University senior teammates, Reardon spent last weekend paying close attention to the Major League Baseball draft waiting to see if his name would be called or scroll across the draft ticker. In Round 25, the former Sumter High School, Sumter P-15’s and University of South Carolina Sumter standout got a call from the Baltimore Orioles saying they were going to take him and to

watch for his name to pop up. The name never did, though, and the draft wrapped up with Reardon’s baseball future still up in the air. “I talked to about five teams going into the draft, but the Orioles were the ones that called me,” Reardon said. “That was pretty tough. But I really can’t blame anything on them. It’s such a cutthroat (business) and it’s a lot of money that you kind of have to manipulate to figure out who you’re going to take. “...The same kind of thing happened to one of our guys (at Lander) last year, so (head) Coach (Kermit Smith) kind of prepared us for that and told us to be ready for anything.” That included potential workouts with scouts the following week. After

talking with his family, Reardon prepared himself for both a grueling week of tryouts and also the possibility of returning to Greenwood to finish his degree at Lander. The conversation proved to be a short one as Smith telephoned his tall left-handed reliever within 10 minutes of the draft ending to let him know that the defending World Series champion Kansas City Royals wanted him to work out for them the next day (Sunday) at the home of their rookie affiliate in Burlington, N.C. “I contemplated the decision for about a minute and decided that I definitely wanted to go give it a shot,” Reardon said. “Went there and it all

The two combined for three tournament victories last year and won another in the last few weeks for the U.S. Open playoff. “We trust each other and know our tendencies and feel pretty confident with each other,” Weinhold said. That confidence never wavered — even when the pair found itself down 4-0 to fourthseeded Jamie Loeb and Carol

OAKMONT, Pa. — Shane Lowry kept his cool after a careless penalty and walked off Oakmont after a marathon Saturday with a two-shot lead in the U.S. Open. Stalled by rain in the first round, the U.S. Open is nearly back on schedule and Lowry poised for a big finish. Lowry, looking to give Irish golf its 10th major in the last 10 years, came within inches of his sixth birdie of the round on No. 14. He tapped in for par and headed back in when play was suspended by darkness. He was at 5-under par and had to return Sunday morning to play the final four holes. Two shots behind was 28-year-old Andrew Landry, in his first U.S. Open and playing like he knows how to cope with the toughest test in golf. Landry hasn’t flinched, even after tumbling down the leaderboard in his second round, and playing alongside Dustin Johnson in the third round. He had five holes left. Right behind was a trio of players who feel overdue to win their first major. That starts with Johnson, who had the 36-hole lead and started out like he wanted to run away from the field when he stuffed his approach to 5

Aches, pains catching up to Warriors By TIM REYNOLDS The Associated Press CLEVELAND — The level of tension is growing rapidly for the Golden State Warriors. Someone gets suspended, someone gets hurt, someone gets ejected, and lots of someones make no effort to hide their frustration. A comfortable two-game Curry lead in the NBA Finals becomes a dicey one-game lead, then no lead at all. The biggest moment awaits. The biggest challenge does, too. Shots aren’t falling for the Warriors at the same rate they were in the regular season, stops aren’t coming like they were a couple months ago either, the aches and pains are piling up and what looked like a sure-fire title not long ago is at best a shaky proposition now. Game 7 of the finals is on Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, and Golden State is hoping being at home helps deliver a championship-saving elixir.

No pressure as Chants get ready for Florida in CWS By Ryan Young The Sun News OMAHA, Neb. -- Sitting next to a trio of head coaches whose programs all have recent history here in the College World Series, Coastal Carolina coach Gary Gilmore was asked if he sensed any pressure on the shoulders of his players as they make their first appearance on college baseball’s biggest stage. “I don’t know that our group can get tight. I’ll be very disappointed if they do. They’ve never shown it at this point in time. It’s just not who we are,” Gilmore responded. No stage has seemed too big, no spotlight too bright for these Chanticleers so far as they rallied back in the NCAA regionals against NC State and swept Louisiana State in the super regionals – both on the road – to get to the program’s first College World Series. Next up for Coastal Carolina (49-16) is a showdown with top-seeded Florida (5214) on Sunday night at TD Ameritrade Park as the teams clash on the opening day for their side of the eight-team, two-bracket double-elimination event. The Gators were considered by many to be the best team in the country for most of the season and are no doubt the favorites in this one, but again, that hasn’t seemed to matter to the streaking Chants as they’ve won 15 of their last 16 games on this historymaking run. “I have an older group that, those guys know they’re on a big stage, but again, let’s be honest, all the experience and talent of these [teams] as well as the other four teams, I feel like we’re playing with house money at this point in time,”

The Associated Press

Coastal Carolina’s Tyler Chadwick throws during practice on Friday at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha, Neb. The Chanticleers will play Florida today in the College World Series at 8 p.m. Gilmore said. “We have nothing to lose at all. There weren’t many people that thought we really, truly had an opportunity to get here with some of the things we’ve gone through. We’ll be very loose and competitive and we’ll give it our best shot.” This has been a dream 21 years in the making for Gilmore, one embraced fully by a team loaded with productive juniors and seniors who have given the Chants a chance to play with just about anybody. And while that long-term goal has been achieved, the players don’t feel their job is done just yet. “I don’t think any of the guys feel any pressure. We’ve made it to this point, that’s our goal, but also our goal is to win this thing and we want to come out, just play as hard as we can and see what happens,” junior designated hitter G.K. Young said, sounding a lot like his coach. “But I don’t feel like anybody feels any pressure. Now it’s time to just go have fun, play baseball and grind like we have been. “We’re going to see what

we’re made of. We’re ready to play them. Like I’ve said all year I think we’re the best team in the country and they’ve been ranked No. 1 so we’ll see what happens.” Florida is loaded with hard-throwing arms both in its rotation and bullpen and benefits from the top-rated defense, statistically, in the SEC. The Gators will go with junior right-hander Logan Shore on the mound Sunday night. Shore, who was named the SEC Pitcher of the Year and was drafted 47th overall by the Oakland A’s, comes into the game with a 12-0 record, 2.24 earned-run average and 89to-17 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 1001/3 innings. He’ll be facing a Coastal Carolina offense that leads all Division I teams with 94 home runs, including four guys in senior third baseman Zach Remillard (19 homers), Young (17), senior right fielder Connor Owings (16) and junior shortstop Michael Paez (15) who have more home runs than anyone on Florida’s team. All four of those guys were also drafted last week.

Cowboys top UC Santa Barbara 1-0 By ERIC OLSON The Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. — A rough start turned into a smooth finish for Thomas Hatch. The Chicago Cubs’ thirdround draft pick threw a complete game and extended his shutout streak to 26 innings in Oklahoma State’s 1-0 victory over UC Santa Barbara in the College World Series on Saturday. Hatch scuffled early before settling in to record the first shutout by the Cowboys (4220) at the CWS since 1986, a

just worked out. I met up with the scout that same night and signed some paperwork. They wanted me on a plane to Arizona the next morning (Monday) and I went out there and made it official that night. “It all happened pretty quickly. I have no regrets about anything. It’s pretty amazing still.” Since then Reardon has been adjusting to the Arizona heat and the rigors of professional baseball. Earlymorning workouts are routine and the SHS alum is settling into his surroundings in Surprise as he will likely begin his career with the AZL Royals -- K.C.’s rookie affiliate in the Arizona League. The team begins play on Tuesday. A step up to “high” rookie ball in Burlington before the year is over is a possibility, Reardon said, but for now he’s content with his situa-

game current pitching coach Rob Walton started. “Not the easiest game in the world to pitch, because the first game of the World Series has a little vibe and buzz about it to kick things off,” OSU coach Josh Holliday said. “He handled himself exceptionally well, and it’s a great way for us to start the tournament.” Garrett Benge singled in the only run in the fourth inning, and from there Hatch took over. “I definitely think there was some adrenaline there,”

Hatch said. “There weren’t many nerves. I was in a good place mentally. I was missing high (early), and when I tried to get the ball down I was spiking some fastballs, which is unusual. I was able to make adjustments, calm down and make the pitches I needed to.” Hatch (9-2) allowed five hits, walked one and struck out seven in his dazzling 112-pitch performance for the Cowboys, who are in the CWS for the first time since 1999. It was his fourth shutout of the season.

tion. “It’s something I’ve dreamed of since I starter playing when I was three or four years old,” he said. “I feel very blessed to have had things work out the way they did.” Reardon was a member of the 2011 4A state championship team at Sumter High while pitching and playing first base. He did the same for the P-15’s and went on to play for USC Sumter for two seasons. His final season with the Fire Ants likely put him on the path to predominantly working as a reliever. Reardon went 5-1 with a 1.82 earned run average in 24 2/3 innings for USC Sumter in his final season. He struck out 31 and walked nine and started just one game -- a game during the Region X Tournament that he won as the Fire Ants captured their first tourney title in team history. He then signed with Lander and made 16 appearances with eight starts for the

Bearcats in 2015. He was 1-4 with a 5.18 ERA in 48 2/3 innings with 42 strikeouts and 30 walks. This past season was a marked improvement. The Bearcat lefty went 3-1 with one save and a 4.79 ERA in 35 2/3 innings to go along with 41 strikeouts and 27 walks. Reardon also tossed 22/3 scoreless innings of relief in the NCAA Division II College World Series for Lander, who finished as a national semifinalist with a 44-16 overall mark. “I think that definitely helped all of us in the long run,” said Reardon, who was one of five Bearcats to catch on with Major League clubs. “I think we were ranked fourth in the nation, so obviously a lot of scouts were at games watching us and we played pretty well for most of the season. “It was a great group. We just went out and played. Everyone went out and did their jobs and we did what we needed to do to win.”

No. 3 McIlroy, Mickelson and Fowler miss cut By WILL GRAVES The Associated Press OAKMONT, Pa. — Rory McIlroy spent the days before the U.S. Open searching for his game. The world’s third-ranked player didn’t find it at Oakmont. McIlroy missed the cut on Saturday after posting a tworound total of 8-over 148, two clear of the cut line at 6 over. The 2011 U.S. Open champion followed up a disastrous 7-over 77 in the gloom on Thursday and early Friday with a wildly uneven 1-over 71. Starting on the back nine, McIlroy birdied four of his first seven holes to get back to 3 over and send a jolt into the gallery that a hot streak not unlike the four rounds he put together at Congressional five years ago was in the making. This time, it didn’t happen. Whatever momentum McIlroy generated disappeared on the par-4 fourth, when it took him four jabs of the putter to get in from 13 feet. He bogeyed the par-3 sixth but arrived on the tee box at the par-4 ninth right on the number. A leaky drive put him in a fairway sand trap. He had 158 yards to the flag when his approach shot hit the lip of the bunker and trickled back toward his feet. The ensuing double bogey insured McIlroy of an early exit at the Open for the first time since 2012. Phil Mickelson’s quartercentury quest for his first U.S. Open title will carry on to Erin Hills in Wisconsin next June after he shot 74-73, missing out by a single shot. Mickelson promised to stick to his game plan of playing it smart rather than taking unnecessary risks, one he briefly abandoned on the short par-4 17th. After saying there was “zero chance” he would try to drive the green on the 318-yard hole, he took aim and ended up in a greenside bunker. He couldn’t get up and down for birdie and when he couldn’t convert a birdie on the 18th he ended up missing out on the weekend at the one major he lacks for the first time since 2007, the last time the tournament visited Oakmont. At least Mickelson was close. Fowler, still looking for his first major, was not. Playing alongside McIlroy and reigning Masters champion Danny Willett, the popular and stylish 27-year-old finished at 11 over after finding just 14 of 28 fairways and 20 of 36 greens.

U.S. Open

Caddies like watching pros ‘suffer’ By JIM LITKE The Associated Press OAKMONT, Pa. — Oakmont Country Club’s first family of caddying spans three generations, boasts nearly 100 years of combined experience and has only so much sympathy for the players trying to tame their notoriously tough home course at the U.S. Open. “Personally, I like seeing them suffer,” Bob Bugna chuckled softly, taking a break Saturday afternoon from watching golf to run some errands. “The fairways and greens are pretty much the same as what the members run into, but man, that rough is something.” Fred Bugna began the family tradition in the late 1950s, taking a few loops around Oakmont on the weekends to supplement his pay as a steelworker. Nicknamed “Topsy,” Fred wound up carrying Jack Nicklaus’ bag because few caddies were interested in a second-year pro back then, no matter how promising an amateur career he’d had. When Nicklaus beat Arnold Palmer in a playoff to win the 1962 U.S. Open here, Bugna briefly considered making it a full-time vocation. “Jack paid him $2,000 out of a winner’s purse of $26,000,” recalled Fred Bugna Jr. “That was a lot of money back then, and he probably could have gone out on tour, but I guess he figured the work wasn’t steady enough.” Bob, 60, was the first member of the family to follow his father’s footsteps and the only one to work a U.S. Open at Oakmont, in 1983. He began in the summer in 1979, turning up at the shed after working the midnight-to-8 a.m. shift at a meatpacking plant. Older brother Fred, 63, joined Oakmont’s caddy corps in 1988 and his son, Damon, began working there full-time the following year as a 14-year-old. Damon, the best player in the family, hoped to pick up a bag for the week. Instead, only four club caddies got hired and he wound up guiding former PGA Tour player Matt Borchert and his caddy through a practice round on Monday. “This is a different golf course every day,” Damon said. “A standard day in summer,

These guys caught a break, at least until the middle of today because when it’s soft, the course plays a little easier. ... All I’ll say is that if it stays dry, and especially if the wind kicks up a little, Sunday could be very, very interesting.”

BACK TO OAKMONT The USGA didn’t even wait for this U.S. Open to end before announcing Oakmont will get another one. USGA President Diana Murphy said during the telecast Saturday that the U.S. Open will return to Oakmont in 2025. It will be the 10th time Oakmont hosts the U.S. Open in a span of just under 100 years. Murphy also said Shinnecock Hills on Long Island will host the 2026 U.S. Open. Shinnecock Hills hosted the second U.S. Open in 1896, and then waited 90 years before getting another one. It’s scheduled to have the Open in 2018. That means the U.S. Open rotation is set for the next 10 years: Erin Hills, Shinnecock Hills, Pebble Beach, Winged Foot, Torrey Pines, The Country Club, Los Angeles Country Club, Pinehurst No. 2, Oakmont and Shinnecock Hills.

shot that nearly derailed him. Lowry already had two early birdies when he got to the par-3 16th, his seventh hole of the day. He stepped over a 30foot birdie putt up the hill — and the ball moved. “I had to penalize myself. It’s very frustrating in a tournament like that,” Lowry said. And it could have been worse. He quickly stroked his 30-foot putt for par and left it 8 feet away. Suddenly, he was staring at double bogey which would have erased those two birdies. He holed it. “I think if I would have missed that, it would have been difficult to get back from there,” Lowry said. “That kind of kept me going, and from there on, I just played good golf. In fact, I played good golf all day, didn’t hit it in trouble very much. Hit plenty of fairways, plenty of greens, and that’s what you need to do out here.”

Rahm borrowed on Ballesteros’ imagination to save par on the par-4 ninth from a greenside bunker and again from the greenside rough on the par-4 18th. “It was mostly to help me keep my mind strong and hit it,” Rahm said of his outfit. “That’s the whole purpose of putting it on today.” Rahm, who twice won the Ben Hogan Award given to the top collegiate golfer while playing at Arizona State, will turn professional Monday.

It moved ever so slightly, enough for Lowry to see, and he turned in disgust to call over an official, then held the putter behind his neck as if he wanted to snap it. He took the one-shot penalty and then saved his mood with

an 8-foot bogey putt. “To hole that second putt was massive for me and massive for my whole day,” Lowry said. Some of the best players weren’t around for the afternoon. McIlroy needed a par on the final hole to make the cut and took double bogey. Phil Mickelson, Rickie Fowler and Justin Rose also missed the cut.

Lincecum pitches Angels past A’s in return to bigs OAKLAND, Calif. — Tim Lincecum made a winning return to the majors, restarting his career after nearly a year away with six sharp innings and several ovations to lead the Los Angeles Angels over the Oakland Athletics 7-1 Saturday. Sporting a bright red hat and Angels jersey that was in stark contrast to the black and orange uniforms he wore for nine seasons as a star with the San Francisco Giants, Lincecum gave up one run and four hits. He struck out two and walked two. The 32-year-old righty hadn’t pitched in the majors since last June 27.

Thompson, Chun share Meijer LPGA Classic lead BELMONT, Mich. — Her ailing back a bit better after treatment, defending champion Lexi Thompson shot a 5-under 66 on Saturday for a share of the Meijer LPGA Classic lead with In Gee Chun. “I got a lot of work done to it last night,” Thompson said about her back. “It was hurting quite a bit, but I have it all taped up and it helped out out there today, and took my pain pills. It was better today than yesterday.” Thompson birdied five of

the first 13 holes at Blythefield in her bogey-free round to match Chun at 15-under 198. The 21-year-old American birdied three of the four par-5 holes and is 9 under overall on the par 5s. “I just hit a lot of drivers and, if my game’s on, it comes together,” Thompson said. “It’s just a nice setting and atmosphere. It’s one of our best tournaments.” Chun had a bogey-free 65, making four birdies in a fivehole stretch on the back nine. The U.S. Women’s Open champion sat out a month this year because of a back injury after she was struck by a suitcase that rival South Korean player Ha Na Jang’s father dropped down an escalator at the Singapore airport. “My iron shot great,” Chun said. “I was putting very well. I was so good at rolling the ball on the line. ... I’m always excited to play in the last group so I’m ready. I enjoy it. It’s very exciting.” Thompson won the Honda LPGA Thailand in February for her seventh LPGA Tour title. The long-hitting Florida player, ranked fourth in the world, also won a Japan LPGA event last month. The back pain could be a major concern heading into the busy summer schedule and golf’s return to the Olympics. Sei Young Kim was a stroke back after a 65. The South Korean player eagled the par-5 11th and parred the final seven holes. She won this year in Phoenix, shooting 6366-70-62 to match Annika Sorenstam’s LPGA Tour scoring record of 27 under. Last year, she won three times and was the rookie of the year. Staff and wire reports

Recruiting

Clemson lands Tennessee DB Jones Jr.

lemson continues to mine the fertile recruiting territory in Tennessee, gaining a commitment from defensive back Mike Jones Jr. (6-feet-1inch, 210 pounds) of Nashville, Tenn. On Thursday. He attends IMG Academy in Florida and is the son of former Tennessee Titans and North Carolina State defensive end Mike Jones, who grew up in Columbia. Jones Jr. made his decision several hours after attending camp at Clemson earlier in the week then made a few other camp stumps for comparison purposes. However, he already had a strong feeling Clemson was the right choice. “I have known the last couple of days, but I just needed to get home and think about things,” Jones said. “I had a lot of relationships with the staff and the players and the recruits that are going to be going there in the 2017 and 2018 classes. I just knew it was home.” Jones Jr. said he’s been attending camps at Clemson since he was in the sixth grade and felt very comfortable there and has a good relationship with defensive coordinator Brent Venables. His other offers include Tennessee, Vanderbilt, North Carolina, NCSU, Mississippi and Kentucky. Last season, Jones Jr. had 54 tackles with 10 tackles for loss, three quarterback sacks and three interceptions. He’s the Tigers’ first commitment for the ‘18 class. The Tigers have two commitments from Tennessee for the ‘17 class. DB CJ Avery (6-1, 196) of Grenada, Miss., released his top ten list of Clemson, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Notre Dame, Louisville, Tennessee, Michigan, Alabama, Auburn and California. Avery had never visited Clemson until this week. “It’s a great program, of course, seeing them in the national championship last year,” Avery said. “They have had some great DBs there in the last couple of years. I’m looking forward to getting down there.” Avery also plans to camp at Louisville, Tennessee and Auburn. Last season, Avery had 76 tackles and five INTs. Avery will be an early graduate. DB Tre Shaw of Ellenwood, Ga., camped at Clemson. The Tigers and the University of South Carolina have offered and he was offered last week by Alabama. DB Mike Carter of Douglasville, Ga., ‘18 LB Braylin Fisher of Dallas, Ga., ‘18 wide receiver Derion Kendrick of South Pointe High School in Rock Hill, defensiv end Malik Herring of Forsyth, Ga., ‘18 linebacker Braden Gilby (6-1, 222) of Tampa, Fla., and DB AJ Terrell of Atlanta all visited Clemson as well. DL Corey Bolds of Paramus, N.J., released his top 12 and Clemson is on the list along with Rutgers, Alabama, Cal, Michigan State, Virginia Tech, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Michigan, Georgia, Penn State and Maryland. DL Breyon Gaddy of Virginia Beach, Fa., has a top five, in order, of Tennessee, Clemson, Florida State, UGA and Southern California. Clemson recently made offers to ‘18 DB Jalen Green of Houston and ‘18 defensive lineman Trey Hill of Warner Robins, Ga.

USC South Carolina picked up a pair of DB commitments from Florida on Friday. Damarri Mathis (5-11, 175) of Lakeland committed just two hours after Tavyn Jackson of Tallahassee committed. That gives USC 16 commitments for the ‘17 class. “I felt like it was a good fit for me,” Mathis said. “I’ve got a good relationship with (assistant) Coach TRob (Travaris Robinson) and (head) Coach (Will) Muschamp. I feel like it’s the best fit for me right

now. They put a lot of defensive guys out (to the National Football League). I feel like I can play in that sysPhil Kornblut tem. And Recruiting they are a family-type corner feel.” Mathis also picked up offers in June from Ole Miss and Pittsburgh. He had those two along with Cincinnati and Central high on his list, but not high enough to overcome what he thinks he’ll experience at USC and in the Southeastern Conference. Last season, Mathis totaled 46 tackles with two INTs and nine passes broken up. Jackson chose USC over Georgia Tech, Mississippi State and UCF. He wants to major in electrical engineering and carries a 3.8 gradepoint average, and he felt Muschamp’s commitment to his education was important in his decision. “I felt at ease there talking to the coaches,” Jackson said. “Other colleges I went to, they threw out their statistics on what they’ve got and what they’re getting there. When I went to South Carolina they didn’t really tell me, ‘Oh, they’ve got this coming.’ They were like, ‘What can we do, what do you want to major in?’ “I just felt like they were looking for the better advantage for me. I know it’s kind of hard to balance out any engineering and football, but Muschamp said they’ve had people do it and he said if I’m committed to it I can get it done. He said if I really want to get into that degree of what he’ll find a way to help me.” Jackson will graduate early and will enroll at USC in January of ‘17, so he will get a jump start on earning a spot in the defensive rotation with spring practice. Jackson had six interceptions as a sophomore. He did not have any as a junior, but he had 15 PBUs. USC commitment DE Tyreek Johnson of Lakewood High was offered by Alabama, according to Lakewood head coach Brian Jackson. Johnson visited Alabama for a camp with a member of the Lakewood staff and was offered by head coach Nick Saban according to Jackson. WR Shi Smith (5-11, 175) of Union County High committed to USC committed to USC. Smith had strong interest early on in his recruiting from Clemson. He also drew offers from Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, NCSU and Oklahoma, but he said no one recruited harder and with more consistency than USC. “The coaches have been on me a lot, keeping in touch with me,” Smith said. “They are showing me that they really want me.” Smith caught 50 passes last season for 1,300 yards and 17 touchdowns. He also returns kicks and punts and the coaches see him filling the role of a recently departed Gamecock star. “They see me in kind of like the same role as Pharoh Cooper, playing inside and outside and doing sweeps and stuff like that,” Smith said. USC also picked up future help for the defense in LB Eldridge Thompson (6-2, 218) of Coffeyville Junior College in Kansas for the ‘17 class. Thompson is a native of Memphis, Tenn., and he led Coffeyville in tackles last season with 102, averaging over nine per game. He was the fourth leading tackler in his conference. He also had three sacks and one INT, and he returned a fumble for a TD. Thompson said he also has offers from South Alabama, Middle Tennessee State and South Dakota. He redshirted his first season at Coffeyville due to an ankle injury and will have two years to play two with USC.

DE Devonte Wyatt (6-3, 298) of Decatur, Ga., made a commitment to USC. “If feels great,” Wyatt said. “I’m so happy right now, I started crying when I was leaving South Carolina. It’s just great; the coaches there, the players. Great players; they just made me feel like I was at home. It’s a great environment and everything.” Wyatt also has offers from NCSU, Oregon State, South Florida, Georgia State and Samford. Wyatt said at this point he is probably shutting down his recruiting. LB Davonne Bowen (6-2, 216) of Woodmont High in Piedmont also announced a commitment to USC. Bowen worked out at USC’s camp and earned an offer. That immediately shot USC to the head of the pack of offers that also included Louisville, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Marshall, Appalachian State, Georgia Southern, Old Dominion and several FCS instate programs. “I just love everything about what they are doing,” Bowen said. “I love the coaches and everything about the school. The fan base is crazy; just wanted me to be a part of the family. “I was just looking for where my heart would take me and South Carolina has always been a school I’ve been interested in and looking for an offer from. Once I finally got it and talked to my family about it, friends and people who knew about my whole recruitment thing, it just felt right.” Bowen emerged from the recruiting shadows this spring and started to pull in some major offers. He capped his efforts with a strong showing at USC Saturday. “They just love the way I get after it,” Bowen said. “They said they liked my work ethic and the way I get after the quarterback. Everything about the way I play. They look for fast guys who like to get after it, who like to play, so they feel like I fit just everything they are looking for perfect.” Bowen also had 611/2 tackles and eight TFLs last season. Some USC coaches worked a satellite camp near Nashville, Tenn., and offered six players who attended. They were offensive lineman K’Jojhn Calbert (6-5, 295) of McMinnville, Tenn., DB Chris Bell (6-3, 190) of Hendersonville, Tenn., LB TJ Minniffee (6-3, 220) of Lebanon, Tenn., LB Cain McWilliams (6-1, 225) of Lewisburg, Tenn., LB Jacob Phillips (6-4, 228) of Nashville and ‘18 DE Greg Emerson (6-5, 275) of Jackson, Tenn. Two of the six, Minniffee and McWilliams, said with the offers USC has moved into the favorite’s role for them. Minniffee said he’d not heard from USC prior to the camp and he attracted the attention of the recruiters with his workout. USC assistant coach Bobby Bentley later contacted his recruiting adviser with the offer and an invitation to a camp which he will attend in July. Minniffee also has offers from Austin Peay, Jackson State and Samford. The USC offers trumps them all at this point. He also had 70 tackles and eight sacks last season. McWilliams, like Minniffee, was also excited to get the USC offer. “It puts them at No. 1,” McWilliams said. “They said to be my size I can move pretty quick and they would love to have me down there.” McWilliams said USC likes him for outside linebacker/ DE end and this was the first time he’d had contact from USC. Last season, McWilliams had 73 tackles, 19 TFLs and 13 sacks. One of the players at Jones County JC in Mississippi who was closely examined by Muschamp and his assistants at their camp there recently was DB Javien Hamilton (5-11, 165). His only offer right now is from Texas-San Antonio, but he’s hoping his performance impressed Muschamp enough to earn one.

“I ran a 4.43 (seconds) 40(yard dash), broad jumped 11 feet even and shuttled at 3.94. Coach Muschamp and Coach Robinson were very pleased with my performance and said I was one of the best ones that did an individual workout with them. They said they will stay in touch and heavily recruit me.” DE MJ Webb of Madison, Ga., was back at USC to let his grandmother get her first look at the campus and the academics. The coaches were busy running a camp while Webb was there, but he did talk with Muschamp and assistants Lance Thompson and Bryan McClendon. “It was just like, ‘You know we love you,’ and that they need me and everything,” Webb said. “I love it whenever they tell me.” Webb also recently visited Tennessee and Auburn. He’s going back to Tennessee this month and will go to UK in July. He’s also had Florida, GT, Ole Miss and Mississippi State high on his favorites list. “I love South Carolina because of my relationship with Coach Muschamp and Coach Thompson and they are still high up on my list,” he said. “That’s why I’ve set that an official visit for the Georgia game.” Webb hasn’t set any other official visits at this time though he thinks Auburn will get one. He’s not claiming a favorite right now, but USC, Auburn and Tennessee are prominent. Athlete Tancey Richardson of South Aiken landed a USC offer after a camp workout. Richardson spent most of his time working in the secondary. “They love me at DB,” he said. “Coach Muschamp and Coach T-Rob love me. They are going to recruit me hard.” Richardson also has major offers from Mississippi State, Southern Mississippi, Colorado State and Coastal Carolina. The USC offer, however, certainly is a game changer and renews his interest in USC. “It has me thinking a lot, but I’m going to wait before I make any commitment and talk with my coaches. I’m not close yet, not yet. I haven’t thought about committing yet.” Richardson will continue with some camps and visits this summer. He is scheduled to go to Mississippi State and UK. He’s also hearing from UGA and it wants to see him in camp. One of USC’s top WR targets, Justin Marshall of Conyers, Ga., was in Columbia for a 1-day camp and felt like he put on a good show in front of the coaches. Marshall has over 20 offers, including Tennessee, Louisville, UNC, Maryland, NCSU, Oregon, Indiana, Auburn, West Virginia and Purdue. The visit to USC further cemented it among his leaders. “They are one of the top schools along with Louisville and Tennessee,” Marshall said. Marshall also visited USC in late April. He does not have any other visits planned at this point and wants to make his decision prior to his season.

OL Viktor Beach of Fort Myers, Fla., has USC in his current top seven. The rest of the group are Mississippi State, UF, Boston College, Cincinnati, UCF and Tennessee. USC recently made an offer to ‘18 OL Dennis Wonnum of Stone Mountain, Ga., the brother of USC freshman DE DJ Wonnum.

CLEMSON AND USC WR Jordan Pouncey of Winter Park, Fla., hit the recruiting trail with stops at Alabama, UF, Tennessee and Louisiana. He also visited USC, Duke, UNC, NCSU, Wake Forest, Clemson and Notre Dame. Pouncey has nearly 50 offers and the trips will help him to get his list down to a manageable number. Pouncey said ND is recruiting him the hardest at this point of all the schools working him, but he said he doesn’t have a clear leader. Last season, Pouncey had 17 catches for 515 yards and nine TDs. DB Zyon Gilbert (6-1, 173) of Montgomery, Ala., worked out at USC with some of his teammates and left with an offer from Muschamp, his first from an SEC school. He also has offers from Illinois, Bowling Green, Troy, Samford, South Alabama, Cincinnati, Georgia State and Alabama A&M. Gilbert and his teammates also went to Clemson, UNC, NCSU and Alabama. One of the top campers at USC was Gilbert’s teammate, DE Alex Jackson. Jackson has a top 10, in no order, of USC, Alabama, Auburn, UF, Southern Cal, Tennessee, Texas, LSU, Miami and NCSU. The visit to USC keeps it on USC’s short list. “I’m more confident in that school now,” he said. “They are still going to be pretty high on my list.” Jackson said Clemson has been recruiting him, but has not yet offered. Jackson plans to wait until National Signing Day in February of ‘17 for his decision.

The SUMTER ITEM

PPO

From Page B1 Zhao at the onset of Saturday’s Palmetto Pro Open doubles final at Palmetto Tennis Center. It was all Weinhold and Whoriskey from there as the third-seeded duo stormed back to win 13 of the next 16 games en route to a 7-6 (5), 6-1 victory. “It was pretty much (a case of us) staying patient and playing solid, basic doubles,” Whoriskey said. “We wanted to continue to make our first serves and try to make them play off the return. Nothing fancy was needed, just make a play when the opportunity for a point was there. We stuck with our game plan.” “They played really well,” Weinhold said. “For us, it was just about weathering the storm.” The two Americans battled back to tie the set at 5-5, then took the final two games -- including the tiebreaker -- for the come-from-behind win. “I think they made a couple mistakes and that kind of started (our comeback),” Whoriskey said. “We played well even at the start and played pretty steady throughout the match. I think we were just able to take advantage of the opportunities they gave us.” The second set had far less drama as Weinhold and Whoriskey won the final five games to take the match going away. “I know there were a lot of deuce points in the match and I think in the second set especially we were able to play them aggressively, but smart,” Weinhold said. The singles final was also set on Saturday with thirdseeded CiCi Bellis earning a matchup against top-seeded qualifier Valeria Solovyeva in today’s 1:30 p.m. finale on Court 1. Solovyeva had to mount a comeback of her own against Caroline Dolehide. She dropped the first set 6-3 but rebounded with 6-4 and 6-3 victories in the last two sets to claim the match and a shot at the singles crown. The win marked her 11th straight victory dating back to her previous tournament. “We had just played recently so I knew (Dolehide) had a big serve and had to anticipate that,” the 24-year-old native Russian said. “It took me a little while to get my body going and she was playing great tennis. “She pushed me to my limits and I had to step up my game. Maybe a little more intensity and a little bit better game plan (after that).” Solovyeva was up 4-1 in the second set when Dolehide rallied to tie the games at 4-4. However, Solovyeva won the last two and jumped out to a 5-1 lead in the tiebreaking set before finishing off Dolehide three games later. “She came up with big serves and played great tennis,” Solovyeva said. “It’s not like I lost opportunities. She came up with some great shots.” Bellis had a somewhat less stressful day against Frances-

ca Di Lorenzo, winning in straight sets 6-2, 6-4. The 17-year-old was in command

for the majority of the opening set, but was down 1-0 as the second set began before tying things up and gaining the upper hand from there. “I think I played pretty aggressively,” Bellis said. “We’ve played each other a good bit in juniors and even a couple months ago in a Pro Circuit match, so we know each other’s games pretty well. “I think getting that second game in the second set was really big. That was kind of the turning point because you obviously don’t want to go down 2-0.”

Neither Bellis nor Solovyeva have faced each other before, so there will likely be a feeling-out period in today’s title

match. Both have the same strategy going in, though. “Just play my game.” they each said.

It’s always Father’s Day here Coalition builds relationships BY IVY MOORE ivy@theitem.com

here’s a white board in Keith Ivey’s office with a list of 40 participants in the

Midlands Fatherhood Coalition. After each name, there’s a company listed to show where that particular participant is employed. Their employment is a direct result of their involvement with the coalition, and the number 40 represents two-thirds of the program’s current participants. That’s a remarkable success rate, especially considering the coalition was initially expected to serve only 52 in an entire year — and that the program started in Sumter only about three months ago. It has been operating successfully around other areas of the Midlands for about 10 years.

He said the target clients for the coalition are fathers who “for whatever reason have poor or no relationships with their children, who don’t pay child support and who don’t spend quality time with their children.” There is a major focus on fathers who are not working. Many have been incarcerated, some are referred by the Department of Social Services or Family Court, and others are volunteer participants who heard about the program through word of mouth, Ivey said. “All go through the same program,” he said. Because a lack of income strongly impacts a father’s relationship with his children, the program begins with “employability boot camp,” which participants are required to attend four days for a total of 20 hours. Those on probation or who elect to participate as an alternative to incarceration (AIT) are mandated to six months’ participation in the program.

oday and next Sunday we revisit two of Sumter’s memorable championships: Edmunds High School’s State Basketball championship of 1948 and a National Tournament victory in table tennis garnered by Oliver Stubbs. These two

achievements illustrate what happens when hard work and desire combined with talent and ability can achieve. These accomplishments are often overlooked but deserve accolades from the Sumter community. The information and photos used in preparing this article were taken from the Sumter Daily Item.

Sumter’s Oliver Stubbs displays the form he used in winning the 1951 All-American Table Tennis Championship at Chicago. He won the S.C. ping-pong title last month to qualify for the national meet.

From 1955 — Bobby Herrington, who was top seeded in the Junior table tennis tournament at Memorial Park Center yesterday afternoon, came through in fine style.

PART 1: OLIVER STUBBS: NATIONAL CHAMPION Oliver Stubbs became Sumter’s city table tennis champion in January of 1949. He defeated Thurston Bagnal “in the finals of the first men’s tournament to be held since before World War II.” A total of 10 players entered the competition held in the games room of the local YMCA. Bagnal was the No. 1 seed, having won two city tournaments prior to World War II. Stubbs ranked as the No. 2 player. The two contestants faced little opposition as they breezed through their matches before they faced each other in the finals. “The final match was close and a small crowd of ping-pong enthusiasts watched the match Sammy Way with intense interest. Bagnal’s REFLECTIONS superior placement and drives gave him a one-love lead and then a two to one lead. In the fourth and fifth games, however, Stubbs’ ability to hit everything back, combined with his determination to win, came through for him. He returned practically every shot made by Bagnal and could seldom be forced into an error.” Both contestants received medals, with Stubbs given the honor of representing Sumter in the State Table Tennis Tournament to be held in Columbia. He won the South Carolina Championship by defeating Bennett Meislin of North Charleston in straight games. “Meislin had won the State Championship the two preceding years and formerly held a National Table Tennis rating.” In January of 1951, Stubbs won the Sumter Senior Men’s Table Tennis Championship for the third consecutive year. Twelve men from the surrounding area, including Shaw Field, took part in the tournament held at the Teen-Age Canteen. Stubbs found it easy going as he defeated Francis Hooven from Shaw, Herschel Mixon and Harry Harby in the finals to claim his third championship and advance to compete for another state title. Stubbs was crowned state champion for the third consecutive time without losing a game and advanced to a national competition to be held in Chicago at the Sheridan-Plaza Hotel. Stubbs was accompanied to Chicago by Paul Reidy, who served as his manager. The winner of this competition would receive a handsome watch to be presented by Colman Clarke, one of the best-known professional table tennis players. Stubbs, just 24 years of age, was crowned the men’s champion in the Chicago Tournament by defeating Leonard Schatke of Chicago, 22-24, 2114, 21-12, and 21-17. Schatke was seeded No. 1 in the tournament, while Stubbs was seeded No. 2. The competition attracted 126 competitors representing 10 states. For his victory, Stubbs received a beautiful watch from George F. Koehnke, secretary of the All-American Championship, who sponsored the tournament. Having acquired a national reputation, Stubbs returned home and participated in a number of charity exhibitions in Sumter and the surrounding community. He was also feted at a banquet held at the Elks Club, where he received a plaque “from the citizens of Sumter” presented by the mayor. He was also given a silver plate by Harry R. Bryan, city recreation director, “on behalf of his many friends in Sumter.” The principal speaker was Charles L. Cuttino, local attorney, “who reviewed the table tennis champion’s local, state and national achievements terming them remarkable.” He added that Stubbs had “brought

Faustino, former Philippines champion and then champion in Charleston in a match held at the local YMCA. “The five-out-ofnine series started with Stubbs overwhelming his opponent 21-6. The second game was closer with the Sumter champ coming out on top 21-18; however, Faustino came back to down Stubbs in the third game 21-17. Stubbs bested the Charleston champ in the next three games, 21-15, 21-16 and 21-10. At one point in the series the ball went back and forth over the net 304 times before a point was scored. He also defeated Bill Ellis of Charleston, who was the Southern Baptist Champion in five out of nine games. In September of ’51 he ventured to Canada to participate in the Canadian Open Table Tennis Tournament, participating in the men’s singles and Open Doubles (first time he attempted such an event). It was in this competition that Stubbs experienced his first major defeat being eliminated in the first round in both categories. In October he entered a competition in the Wilmington, N.C., Open Table Tennis Tournament. Also featured in this tournament was a young Robert (Bobby) Richardson competing in the juniors division, where he captured first place. All four Sumter entrants in Wilmington were victorious, with Stubbs taking top honors in the singles and teaming with Santos from Charleston to place first in the men’s doubles. Stubbs continued to experience success winning his third State Championship in March of 1952 with little opposition. Oliver Stubbs continued to excel in the sport he loved and his record of success inspired many young people in Sumter to take up table tennis. Research continues to ascertain the extent of his achievements. A follow-up article will be forthcoming as further information becomes available. It is fitting to say that his achievements in table tennis will not be approached for some time. Oliver Stubbs died in 1988 and is buried in the community he honored with his achievements.

to map plans for the greatest agricultural production in history in 1942. Stan Burrows, chairman of the local USDA Defense Board, said work of canvassing every farm in the county would start immediately. • Mrs. W.I. Herbert’s class of the Trinity Methodist Church gave up a social hour last Wednesday afternoon in order to complete a number of garments for the Red Cross. Mrs. L.D. Jennings, chairman of the production committee for the local chapter, said today the Trinity Church is doing very fine work for the Red Cross. • The biggest liquor still taken by officers of the County Police in many months was reportedly seized 10 miles southwest of Sumter on Brunson Swamp. Estimated value of the still, discovered by Deputy Sheriff Emanuel and Officers Bradshaw, Geddings and Brogdon was $200. • Provisional members of the Junior Welfare League of Sumter were entertained yesterday with an informal tea at the attractive new home of Mrs. Ralph Holland, chairman of the league’s entertainment committee. Honor guests were presented corsages of asters, buttonhole chrysanthemums or carnations. Receiving the new members of the organization was Mrs. W.E. Covington, president of the league. • Construction is scheduled to start within the next 30 days on 15 five- and six-room dwellings, which will comprise a new development off Purdy Street between Hasell and Saratoga. The houses will be built on a court, which is to be opened extending from Purdy back to Mood Avenue. Backing the $60,000 to $75,000 investment are five prominent businessmen of Sumter: S.L. Roddey, John Riley, Edwin Boyle, Marion Moise and Francis Moise. • William DeSaussure Boykin, well known and popular Sumter business man, was fatally shot while on a deer hunt in Clarendon County. Boykin, “Dellie” to a host of friends throughout the state, was one of the most active citizens of Sumter in all community affairs. He was a World War veteran, having served in France as a first lieutenant in a machine gun battalion. He was a past president of the Rotary Club, of the Sumter Game and Fish Association and of the Retail Merchants Association. At the time of his death he was vice president and a director of the Sumter Chamber of Commerce.

helping to identify the participants’ “passion and career field, helps them find where they fit. We bring in employers to to talk with them, and that helps with their comfort zone and reduces anxiety.” Participants have 60 days from the start of the program to begin paying child support. Raymond Bostic, a participant referred by the court, came into Ivey’s office during the interview, “just to visit” Ivey and catch him up. Bostic was excited about his new job at a local furniture company, but especially about the improvement in his family relationships and in his self-confidence. He spoke frankly of how he came to the coalition. “I was incarcerated several times,” Bostic said. “The last time I was referred here.” He said the coalition is the only program to which he’d been willing to commit. Bostic smiled and quoted Julius Caesar: “’I came. I saw. I conquered,’” he said, adding “I seized the moment.” “Actually,” he said, smiling, “You’re looking at a work in progress. I’m adamant about staying positive.” Ivey said Bostic “came in just for the boot camp, and he’s still coming in.” “The program has a lot more to offer,” Bostic said. “I’ve got a sense of purpose, self-esteem.” He also said he feels good about working and being able to contribute financially to his children’s support and especially spending quality time with them. Ivey said the coalition works with each participant, who sets his own goals within acceptable parameters. Individual plans often include finding transportation to get to work, employment and relationship issues. “We set steps to complete goals within a time frame,” Ivey said, and we write them down, give them a copy. We set goals for ourselves, too.” The coalition carefully documents achievements toward its goals. For example, from its start at the end of February through the end of May, the Midlands coalition has already logged $23,162 in child support paid by participants. “That money goes into the home of the custodial parent,” Ivey said. “It has a direct, positive effect.” At Tuesday night peer group meetings, participants focus on four different topics for around seven weeks each. At a recent meeting, Ivey said they discussed topics such as “what does a healthy relationship look like?’; and ‘what did your family look like when you were growing up?’” Parenting, economics and health are also on the agenda. And last Saturday, the coalition hosted an early Father’s Day outing for dads and their children at a local farm. Ivey said the event was very successful. “The fathers rode on the horsedrawn wagon, participated in games with their kids and ate some good food,” he said. “This was an opportunity for five fathers to enjoy an outing without having a financial burden on them” and to have fun with their children in an informal setting, important but different from the counseling sessions and group meetings. Anytime there is interaction among participants and staff, Ivey said, you’ll hear words like “responsibility, opportunity, knowledge, sense of purpose, trust, selfesteem. “Too many dads today are not involved in their children’s lives. Not because they do not want to be involved, but things have simply gone wrong. Relationships with their children’s mothers have become strained, jobs have failed, and life has gotten complicated and disappointing. Too often, fathers missed the best instructor of all: their own fathers as a positive role model. The Midlands Fatherhood Coalition is here to help because we care about fathers and their families.”

50 YEARS AGO – 1966 Sept. 12-18 Local American Legion Post No. 15 honored its Legion Junior baseball team at a supper held at the Post’s dining hall. After an introduction by D.B. “Skeet” James, chairman of the baseball committee, Coach Bernie Jones gave his impressions of the 1966 season to those on hand. “This year’s squad, I believe, gave it everything. Although they didn’t even win the conference crown they played up to their potential.” The Sumter nine finished the season with a 14-6 record, good enough for second place behind state runner-up Timmonsville. • Sumter has won first place in the statewide Sears Community Improvement Contest and the accompanying $500 in prize money. Mrs. J.W. Scarborough, president of the Sumter Council of Garden Clubs, accepted the award and check yesterday at a district meeting of garden clubs in Bennettsville. The city was entered into the year-long contest in June of 1965 and the subsequent beautification and improvement campaign was sponsored jointly by the Council of Garden Clubs and the Chamber of Commerce. • Bobby Richardson bid farewell today to the game that made him famous during ceremonies of “Bobby Richardson Day” – a day in which the New York Yankees and friends honored him at Yankee Stadium. In the shadow of the legendary ball park, which is known as “the house that Ruth built,” Richardson stood with his family while the tributes were bestowed upon him. • Mayewood’s Rebels scored a big 8-0 victory over tough Latta and became favorites to cop the conference district crown. The team battled to a scoreless standstill until the last six minutes. At that point Kelley Coker hit Wesley Player with a 40-yard pass to break open the game. The extra point was no good, but the TD set the Rebels on fire. Mayewood would later score a safety after tackling Latta in their end zone making the final score 8-0. • The battle between Sumter and Greenwood was touted as a contest that would separate the men from the boys. When it was over, the Gamecocks looked like men and the Emeralds like the kid who had gotten into the cookie jar when he wasn’t supposed to. It was a 12-6 win for Greenwood, thanks to cookie-stealers Robin Cary and Tyler Hellams, both fleet of foot and agile as deer.

their way to a score and shot 65 yards up the sideline to tie the game 6-6. A second TD in the fourth quarter completed the victory for the Emeralds. 25 YEARS AGO – 1991 June 13-19 A vote recount has put two apparent winners in Tuesday’s town council elections on shaky ground by returning one losing incumbent to his post and pulling a second back into the race. Lynchburg election officials said that a run-off will be held in two weeks between candidates Mattie Hickson and Robert Clements, both of whom took two of four at-large council seats up for grabs, and incumbent Town Councilman B.K. Phillips Jr., who was narrowly defeated. • A local circuit judge ruled that an ordinance regulating privately owned and operated landfills will not affect plans by an Ohio-based company to construct a 200-acre regional solid waste landfill in Lee County. Third Circuit Judge David McInnis, in a ruling filed in the Lee County Clerk of Court’s office, decided that a restrictive landfill ordinance proposed by a local environmental group and passed by voters during a November 1990 referendum cannot validly restrict the landfill planned by Mid-American Waste Systems Inc. • Nelson Bowman thought his racing days were behind him, but when the 1991 season began at Sumter Rebel Speedway, he found himself behind the wheel of a car once again. Bowman was the first-half points champion in the Mini-Stock division, a relatively new class of racing at the local race track. Bowman drove in the Thunder & Lightning class for several years before deciding to get out of racing following the 1989 season. • Norman Greene is having the time of his life. The just-graduated Sumter High two-sport star is on a roll of gargantuan proportions. It all started last fall. His appetite for bone-crushing tackles and his overall knowledge of the game drew the attention of a host of college recruiters. Green accepted a football scholarship offer from the University of South Carolina. During the summer he will compete in several national track and field events all across the country. This fall he will turn his attention solely to football. • The graduating nursing students in the Sumter Tech-USC-Sumter cooperative nursing degree program participated in a traditional pinning ceremony at the Officers Club of Shaw Air Force Base. The program, which honors outstanding graduates and instructors, recognized the 19 graduates of the program. Sally A. Morris was named the recipient of the Departmental Award, and Sandra Hicks was named the First Honor Graduate. • Seventy-four-year-old Winnie Hawthorne is making the rounds on her 70-acre crawfish farm in a late-model Oldsmobile sedan. Her grandson has her pickup, and there’s nobody around to chauffeur her four-wheeler. “I’m

not the largest crawfish farmer in the state, but I’ve done better than any of them,” she said. Hawthorne, also known throughout the Southeast as the “Queen of Crawfish,” is a success by most anybody’s standards. • As Eddie Newman pulls his county-issued sedan onto the dusty dirt path, the piles of trash become visible. Rusty old stoves, refrigerators, fivegallon buckets and piles of mangled metal – all the things that Sumter County’s public works director would expect to find in a solid-waste landfill – clutter the landscape. Problem is, Newman is miles from the county landfill. Instead, he and Clint Ford, the county’s sanitation superintendent, are just off Albert Spears Road, touring one of the dozens of illegal dump sites that are scattered across the county. • Sumter School District 17 Superintendent Lawrence Derthick Jr. says he doesn’t expect his health problems to interfere with his job. Neither, apparently, does the District 17 board, which last week issued Derthick a new, twoyear contract and laid out a number of goals for the 63-year-old district administrator. • It promises to be “the hottest thing in Sumter.” At least that is the hope of Otis Chapman, who is helping to organize a junior shag club in town. “The shag is everywhere now. It’s absolutely a way of life for me and many others,” said Chapman, who wants to get all ages involved with the state dance. “The main purpose of the Sumter Junior Shag Club is to see our kids having fun by placing them in a positive environment,” Chapman said of the club sponsored by the Sumter Parks and Recreation Department. • The Sumter-Shaw Community Concert Association’s four-concert , 1991-92 series promises to be among the best presented by Sumter’s oldest concert organization, according to Wayne Gamble, president of the 45-year-old group. The series will present film and television personality Shirley Jones; the versatile Dutton Family; duo-pianists Landsberg and Yount; and the big-band sounds of the Warren Covington Orchestra, featuring the Pied Pipers. • Hawatha Wade has no grant illusions when he went to the Atlanta Braves tryout camp at the Sumter High School baseball field. By the end of the day though, Wade was the newest member of the Atlanta organization. Wade, a hard-throwing left-hander from Hillcrest High School, was signed to a free agent contract. • In the 25 years Bob Batten has been Wedgefield’s postmaster, he’s seen the rural Sumter County community grow while the tiny post office has stayed pretty much the same – until this month when a new post office was unveiled. “We’ve got two routes now, when a long time ago we just had one and it was a small one,” Batten said. • The new director of the Sumter County Mental Retardation Board’s adult day program has set two goals for herself – informing the public of the group’s existence and getting more of the community involved. Dianne Hillyer became director of the adult day program after Sonia Spivey resigned. Hillyer moved to Sumter from Ohio. Reach Sumter Item Archivist Sammy Way at waysammy@yahoo.com or (803) 774-1294.

Sumter downtown development well underway BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com Leigh Newman, downtown development coordinator for City of Sumter, gave a presentation on the revitalization efforts the city is undergoing at the Rotary Club of Sumter Palmetto meeting on Thursday at Sunset Country Club. Newman said the city’s downtown has been undergoing revitalization efforts since 2000. She stressed the importance of the ongoing effort. “Historically, downtown is considered the heart of a city,” she said. Newman said when Continental Tire the Americas came to visit, for example, one of the first things they wanted to see was the downtown. The corporation was based downtown for two years, while developing its plant, she said. Sumter’s Downtown District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. With grants and other funds, the city has installed new sidewalks, parking areas and lights. There are many stores and restaurants that have opened downtown during the last decade. Newman said the city goes by a four-point revitalization approach provided by Main Street of South Carolina. That includes: organization, promotion, design and business development. The city has its own Main Street Society, which is a membership organization with dues-paying members. The money raised is used to beautify downtown, she said. Some examples are outdoor hanging baskets and bike racks. The society also organizes open houses, she said. For promotion, the society puts on Friday night concerts every fourth Friday from May through September, and a Farmers Market every Saturday morning May through September. “We support anyone who wants to do an event downtown,” Newman said. “We will support you and promote your event.” Newman said the overall goal is to get people downtown. Two of the largest events the society has hosted downtown this year were Downtown Sumter Microbrew Festival, which benefited Sumter Senior Services, and Derby Day, which benefited United Way of Sumter, Clarendon and Lee Counties. The society also has a full season of shows during the fall and spring at Sumter Opera House. “We’re getting more than 400 attendees at most of the shows we host,” she said.

In the design aspect, there have been many streetscape projects, Newman said. There is a small streescape project taking place on East Liberty Street right now. For business development, the

major news is a four story, 88-room hotel that is coming to downtown Sumter, she said. Groundbreaking for the Hyatt is scheduled to take place in less than two months, she said. The hotel will have meeting space as well. Once construction starts, Newman said the estimated completion time is 18 months. Newman said the city will construct a parking garage near the hotel, which

is part of the agreement with Hyatt. The parking garage will be open to the general public, and located on the corner of Hampton Avenue and Washington Street. “The hotel is going to be a true game changer,” she said. Newman said businesses interested in moving downtown shouldn’t wait until the hotel is completed, because by that time business space may not be available or may be unaffordable. “If you wait until the hotel comes, you may not get downtown because we do have limited inventory there,” she said.

Texting, online chats get a ‘like’ at more small businesses NEW YORK (AP) — Clients can text their lawyers to double-check hearing times. Potential customers may message a dog breeder to find out the due date of the next litter. More and more, people who want to get in touch with small businesses are using texts or online chats rather than emails or phone calls. Company owners are responding in kind, communicating more on the fly and in short bursts. They’re finding that texting, online chatting and messaging help them get and give information faster and run their businesses more efficiently. It’s a shift that began in the past year, several business owners say. And Facebook says the number of messages sent between people and businesses on its Messenger service has doubled to 1 billion a month in the past year. Many companies rely on Facebook to complement or replace their websites because customers like to connect with them through Facebook pages or ads. Attorney Rick Davis spends less time talking on the phone because many clients now text with brief questions. He can dash off a reply rather than engage in the small talk that business phone etiquette often calls for and says composing a text is faster than writing a wordier email. Davis has followed the lead of clients who preferred to

communicate using texts and chat. “This has been surprising to me, as law is traditionally a more formal industry,” says Davis, who has a solo practice in Leawood, Kansas. There are some downsides: Clients may expect an immediate answer, which isn’t possible if Davis is in a meeting or in court. He doesn’t bill clients for any time he spends texting with them about their cases, similar to his policy of not charging for very short phone calls. Since the nature of texting is to be brief, most clients don’t require much time. He uses his personal cellphone and assumes that a number he doesn’t recognize belongs to a client or prospective client. Although calls and emails have been the standard methods of business communication, companies need to use the media that customers prefer or risk losing them to other businesses, says Christina Shaw, an owner of tangible, a marketing company based in Newburgh, New York. “They have to move into the digital age,” Shaw says. She also finds that representatives for many of her own clients, which are companies, want to communicate through texts. The change can also ease the burden of a small business’ overflowing email inbox.

Wolf Stuntworks owner Steve Wolf estimates that texting and chatting on Facebook with customers has cut his Austin, Texas-based company’s email volume by 70 percent. That makes the business, which creates stunts for the entertainment industry, easier to run. “We spend a lot of time away from the computer, and handling emails through the phone is cumbersome,” Wolf says. Many customers make their first connection with Wolf Stuntworks, which also hosts classes and corporate meetings, through Facebook. They may see photos that a friend has posted of an event, visit its Facebook page and message from there. Wolf and his staff can answer messages or do chats on their phones. Customers seem to prefer the Facebook page to the company’s website. “It has a much more personal feel, and the information is parsed out in much more bite-sized bits,” Wolf says. At Collage.com, which creates photo books, blankets, calendars and other items using people’s photos, many customers want to use online chat rather than the phone — and that helps the company serve more clients, says marketing director Graham Davis. “We can do five or six chats at once,” Davis says, whereas staffers can talk to only one

Collage.com’s live chat volume rose 28 percent from 2014’s fourth quarter, the company’s busiest time of year, compared to the same period of 2015. Some companies are incorporating texting or chatting into their operations — texting ads or announcements, or allowing customers to order using texts. Great Lakes, a Minneapolis-based clothing company, handles much of its customer service including order confirmation through Facebook. That’s partly because it’s linked to the e-commerce sys-

tem the business uses, but also because it gives Great Lakes a friendlier image, owner Spencer Barrett says. “It feels more like you’re talking to a friend than a company where you don’t know who you’re dealing with,” he says. Josh Brown, who owns Far North Kennel, a breeder of German Shepherd puppies in Anchorage, Alaska, estimates that he and his wife Theresa get 10 times more texts than emails. But the Browns don’t rely only on digital communications in deciding to whom they’ll sell their puppies. “I would rather be on the phone, listening to the nuances,” Brown says.

Father’s Day brings memories of learning about the outdoors

T BY S.C. DNR

A modified barge is sunk six nautical miles off the coast of Fripp Island to provide a complex habitat for fish like barracuda that take advantage of other organisms that make their home in the structures nooks and crannies.

Fripp Island Reef gets new addition, provides marine life habitat BY S.C. DNR Six nautical miles off the coast of Fripp Island, barracuda are prowling the deck of boat hull now resting 45 feet beneath the surface. With support from the Coastal Conservation Association South Carolina and the Building Conservation Trust, the S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) deployed the 52-foot landing craft in an effort to build up the Fripp Island reef site, also known as PA-38. In addition to the boat hull itself, several sections of a steel radio tower were welded throughout the open deck in order to create a more complex habitat for the soon-tobe-resident fish. The Fripp Island Reef already contained several deck barges, armored personnel carriers from the Army National Guard and more than 200 concrete habitat modules. “The Coastal Conservation Association has been a tremendous help to us in getting high-quality material like this landing craft distributed all along our coast. I have no doubt that this vessel, with the interior built up the way it is, will hold a great deal of fish in just a very short time,” said Robert Martore, artificial reef coordinator for DNR.

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

MORE ABOUT ARTIFICIAL REEFS To learn more about DNR’s work on artificial reefs, visit http://www.dnr.sc.gov/marine/pub/ seascience/artreef.html.

Artificial reefs are manmade structures laid on the seafloor that provide a foundation for the establishment of productive habitat for marine life. They attract fish and other marine organisms from many levels of the food chain, and DNR has established dozens of artificial reefs off the coast of South Carolina to increase the amount of fish habitat and enhance recreational opportunities for saltwater anglers and sport divers. DNR constructs artificial reefs out of a variety of recycled steel and concrete materials. Structures like boat hulls are methodically stripped and cleaned before being sunk, leaving only empty steel hulls, in order to protect the surrounding marine environment. The Coastal Conservation Association South Carolina (CCA) funded the preparation of the recently deployed 52-foot vessel, and officials have named the new reef section the CCA-Fripp Island Reef.

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. 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

he sun was down below the tree line and the orange glow of the sunset was making it a little difficult to see. The woods were getting darker, and I had a long walk ahead of me back to the truck. It had been a beautiful afternoon for a walk in the wilds, and now I had paused to look back at the evening sky. The bright orange glow had given way to a peach colored horizon above the distant black woods. The sky above was a shade of turquoise and blue, then inky black overhead. Off to the southwest, up from the horizon was a bright star. It was the first one in the sky. Looking back overhead, I saw a twinkling star appear where none had been only moments before. Then another and another. None were as bright as that first one in the western sky. I smiled and turned back toward the road and home. When I was just a lad, my Daddy had often pointed to that first star of the evening and told me it was our reminder of home and family. It marked the end of the day, and supper time. Whenever I look to the western sky and see the “supper star” I think of him. He was my mentor. He taught me how to hunt and fish. How to be safe with a gun, and how to respect the land. He taught my brothers and me how to navigate Sparkleberry and the old Indian Camp. We learned the creeks and lakes in Pocataligo and the islands and sloughs of Lake Marion. We camped out and cooked what we shot and caught. We kept hounds, bird dogs and beagles. We fished and ran trot lines and bush lines. We had a big family, but we always had more than we needed. We gave fish and game to our family, friends and neighbors. He taught us respect for the law and how to treat people.

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 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 6/16 Bass: Fair to good. Buckeye Lures reports that some big bags have been caught in local tournaments even though it has gotten very hot. Fish can be caught around main lake humps on jigs and soft plastics, and there is also some shallow activity early and late. Striper and Hybrids: Very good. Captain William Sasser (864-333-2000) reports that early in the morning his

Delaney Geddings was born on a hardscrabble farm in the Home Branch community Dan of ClarenGeddings don County, two OUTDOORS years before the stock market crashed. There was no electricity, no telephones and no paved roads out in the country. His childhood was defined by the Great Depression. People suffered, especially in the rural South. There was no money and no government assistance, but the farm, woods and waters fed them. When he turned 18, he and a friend hitch-hiked to Charleston and joined the Navy. Germany had not yet surrendered and the war in the Pacific was raging. He was sent to recruit training at the Great Lakes command then assigned to the Pacific fleet as a seaman. His father was killed in an automobile accident before his enlistment and the war ended. He was granted a hardship discharge and sent home to support his family. His friend did not survive the war. He went to work and supported his mother and younger brothers and sisters for several years. Eventually, he married and started his own family. He was a good father to us his six children. I was about midway in that mix, with an older brother and sister. He had infinite patience with me, and needed it, as I was not the best subject in our family. His Sports Afield magazines and books on wildlife were treasures to me. All I wanted was to follow him to the woods and waters. I cared not so much for the shooting or catching, but wanted the seeing. To see the deer and the ducks, to see the next bend

boat is catching fish 40-50 feet deep on down-lines. In the backs of coves tons of two-pound hybrids can be caught. Crappie: Good. Captain William Sasser reports that crappie are still biting well over mid-depth brush. 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.

‘All I wanted was to follow him to the woods and waters. I cared not so much for the shooting or catching, but wanted the seeing. To see the deer and the ducks, to see the next bend around the creek, and to hear the calls of the wild.’ around the creek, and to hear the calls of the wild. He understood that, and never tried to change me. I thought no other man was his equal. Eventually I went out on my own, started my own family, and became a father myself. I’ve tried to be a good example and a good father figure. But, just like my own father, I’ve had hardships and made mistakes along the way. We lost our father the year before hurricane Hugo. The world has changed a lot since then. Father’s Day is a celebration of fathers and a way to honor their influence on our lives. If you still have your father, tell him how much he means to you. People come and go. The world changes. But, the heavens and earth will always be here. The stars and planets will be out there for future generations to see. In my lifetime, I will always look to the western sky for the “supper star.” Dan Geddings is a weekly columnist for The Sumter Item. Email Dan at cdgeddings@gmail.com.

Mountains Area Lake Hartwell 6/16 Bass: Fair to good. Guide Brad Fowler reports that there is a pretty good topwater bite over points and humps, and fish can also be caught on drop shots as well as around bream beds. Striped Bass: Good. Captain Bill Plumley (864-287-2120) and Guide Chip Hamilton (864-304-9011) report that the best striper actions is the middle to lower part of the lake about 30-50 feet deep on down-lined herring. Catfish: Good. Captain Bill Plumley reports that 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 and most blues are in deeper timber. 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 6/16 Bass: Fair to good. Guide Brad Fowler reports that fish are getting into a pretty standard summer pattern. Early in the morning there is a topwater bite, and later in the day fish can be caught on drop shots and shakey head worms. 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.
