Many improvements have been made to Sumter’s Palmetto Park during the past few years, including the addition of a pond, walking trails and bridges and a playground, and the upgrades will continue to roll in.

The city is finishing a landscaping project in Palmetto Park that Assistant City Manager Al Harris said is about 98 percent finished.

For this project, the city received a $100,000 grant from S.C. Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, and the city provided an additional $25,000.

Harris said the project was started in November.

“We’re just waiting on some shrubbery to come in because it is out of season right now,” he said.

Harris said a gate is being built at the entrance of the park on Wise Drive.

“It’s about control for safety,” he said.

Brick walls and wrought iron fences have also been put up around some areas of the park, and Harris said the goal is to have the entire park closed in to control traffic around the area.

Harris said the focus of this phase is to beautify the park and attract the community. He said Palmetto Park has been wonderful for the community, and this phase is about fine tuning.

The second-annual Sumter Rotary Club Farm to Table dinner will be served from 6 to 9 p.m.

Thursday at Sumter County Civic Center, 700 W. Liberty St. The event highlights agriculture in Sumter County and raises money for good causes, said club president Tony Barwick.

“It started last year, and it was very successful,” Barwick said.

“We gave more than $15,000 to charity.”

Barwick said this year’s event will have even more vendors.

“We have farmers involved, we have restaurants involved; it is a

great event,” he said.

“Everything is locally produced — basically in Sumter County,” said event chairman Jack Osteen.

“Local producers of local products.”

Barwick said after paying expenses, every dime raised by the event goes to charities. Benefiting from the event will be United Ministries, 4-H, The Coins for Alzheimer’s Research Trust and Warm Heart Fund at Shaw Air

Force Base.

“That’s what it is all about, helping local producers and helping local charities,” Barwick said.

“We gave $15,000 last year, and we are hoping everybody will come out,” he said. “We are excited to be bringing this event back; everybody really enjoyed it last year.”

16 arrested after 4-month drug op

FROM STAFF REPORTS

Council to consider April ‘Fair Housing Month’ Sumter City Council will meet Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. in City Council Chambers, Sumter Opera House, 21 N. Main St. Council will: • Hold final reading of an ordinance to amend sections of the multi-family apartment development standards in the City Zoning and Development Standards. The amendments will create two categories for multi-family apartments, urban and suburban, and designate the structures as conditional uses in residential multi-family and all commercial zoning districts; • A resolution authorizing a contract for the Liberty Center Façade Project; and • A resolution designating April as Fair Housing Month in the city.

BY HAMLET FORT hamlet@theitem.com A countywide undercover investigation by Sumter County Sheriff’s Office led to the arrest of 16 people on various drug charges.

Deputies undertook a four-month-long undercover operation into drug activity in the area, using investigative techniques that led to charges involving crack, cocaine and marijuana. They also seized undisclosed amounts of various illegal drugs.

The arrests were carried out during the past week as the investigation concluded.

According to Sumter County Sheriff’s Office, the operation investigated drug activity in the Mayesville, Shiloh, Pinewood, Cherryvale, Rembert and Wedgefield communities. According to Braden Bunch, public information officer at Sumter County Sheriff’s Office, agents conducted months’ worth of surveillance and “cultivation” of contacts. “Ultimately, agents made several undercover purchases from these suspected drug dealers,” said Bunch.

The sheriff’s office was assisted in the investigation by Richland County Sheriff’s Office, South Carolina Law

Enforcement Division and South Carolina Probation, Parole and Pardon Service.

“I am proud of the efforts of our officers and would like to thank the officers from other agencies that assisted us with the investigation,” said Sumter County Sheriff Anthony Dennis in a news release. “We have sent the message before to wouldbe criminals that illegal drug activity in Sumter County will not be tolerated, and we will continue to make that message loud and clear in the future.”

The arrested are Randall J. Abrams, 26, of Sumter; Deon A. Goodman, 33, of Dalzell;

Sherman J. Council, 24, of Rembert; Trevon D. McDowell, 19, of Rembert; Chadrienne Z. Spann, 21, of Sumter; Charles Tolbert, 35, of Rembert; Jac’Ques L.

Suspects apprehended after high-speed chase

BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com MANNING — Four suspects are in Clarendon County Detention Center after a high-speed chase ensued on S.C. 261 late Friday night. The suspects had not been formally charged with a crime as of Saturday evening.

The chase began after law enforcement officers and deputies responded to a fight in

progress at Lamar’s Country Corner. When law enforcement arrived on the scene, three males and a female took off east on S.C. 261, according to Clarendon County Sheriff Randy Garrett.

A car chase ensued for several miles, until the suspects veered off onto Megan Lane, with police vehicles in hot pursuit.

The suspects then ran on foot, with deputies and officers close behind. As the foot chase ensued, a local resi-

dent, unrelated to the incident, had a bonfire going in which a few aerosol cans had gone off, said Garrett. The aerosol cans may have sounded like gunfire, he said.

“There were no shots exchanged between the suspects and law enforcement,” Garrett said.

The four suspects were apprehended and taken to Clarendon County Detention Center.

Several officers and a deputy were injured as a result

of a collision between law enforcement vehicles during the high-speed chase. Officers and the deputy were treated at Clarendon Memorial Hospital.

The deputy, who suffered a broken foot, and one of the officers was released; another officer was being held at the hospital after suffering a concussion.

Clarendon County Sheriff’s Office and Manning Police Department both assisted in this incident.

Eating right but not losing weight? Check your fruit consumption

T

hirty-three-year-old Rebecca Blanchard could not understand why she couldn’t lose weight.

Having been overweight since her 20s, she felt she had adopted a healthy lifestyle through regular diet and exercise.

“Fruit was my go to snack,” she said. “As busy as my life was, fruit was easily transportable. It was low calorie, and I felt good about eating it. But it wasn’t until I replaced my fruits with vegetables that I went from a size 14 to a size 6.”

Fruit contains essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber, and dieters feel good about it because it is low-calorie; however, it is also nature’s candy.

We all read and hear that added sugar is bad for you, but what about fructose?

Fructose, mostly known for being found in fruit, is also added by food manufacturers to sweeten many foods and beverages because it is a

low-cost sweetener.

In 2009, a study on the effects of glucose and fructose was conducted with overweight participants.

For 10 weeks, the participants were either given controlled doses of fructose or glucose.

Researchers monitored body composiMissy tion, blood glucose Corrigan and insulin and found that both groups gained weight and body fat.

Both groups gained abdominal fat, but total abdominal fat and visceral fat went up more in the fructose group.

Additionally, both groups went up in triglycerides and cholesterol, but the fructose group was higher in fasting cholesterol.

Insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance went down in the fructose group and didn’t change in the glu-

cose group; fasting glucose and blood tabolized by the body differently.

A recent study at Johns Hopkins insulin levels went up in the fructose University showed that fructose ingroup. creases food intake whereas glucose The conclusion from the study decreases food intake. wasn’t that fructose is bad for you It also revealed that on average, but that sugar, regardless of it being Americans consumed 140 pounds of fructose or glucose, consumed in fructose, of which only half is from large amounts can lead to health high-fructose corn problems. syrup.

Meat industry fights new dietary proposal WASHINGTON (AP) — The meat industry is seeing red.

Meat companies have tried to rehabilitate an image tarnished in recent years by health and environmental concerns.

Now the industry is swiftly and aggressively working to discredit a proposal for new dietary guidelines that recommends people eat less red and processed meat.

The proposal last month by a government advisory committee also relegates the health benefits of lean meat to a footnote to the main recommendations.

“We’ve been put in a position over the years to almost be apologizing for our product; we’re not going to do that anymore,” said Barry Carpenter, the president and CEO of the North American Meat Institute.

The meat industry long has been one of the more powerful lobbies in Washington, enjoying an especially close relationship with the Agriculture Department, which has inspectors in meat processing plants.

Together, the meat processing and livestock industries spent about $7 million on lobbying last year and donated more than $5 million to members of Congress in the last election cycle, according to the political money and influence tracking website OpenSe-

crets.org. Meat industry executives say their push is about the American perception of red meat, rather than just dollars, though the guidelines can have an eventual impact on government purchases for the military and school lunches.

Carpenter’s group recently released a video of the slaughter process to counter criticism about the way animals are killed. It also is trying to better engage with consumers through social media, tweeting links to its “Meat Mythcrushers” site, which looks at nutrition and other issues from the industry’s point of view.

Now, they are pushing the departments of Agriculture and Health and Human Services, which will write final dietary guidelines by year’s end.

They are meeting with officials and asking them to do what they have done in the past: prominently recommend lean meats as part of a healthy diet. They also are asking their many, mostly Republican, allies in Congress to pressure the Obama administration.

Congress appears ready to help.

“The secretaries share responsibility for these flawed recommendations,” said House Agriculture Chairman Michael Conaway, R-Texas.

Conaway was among the House members who wrote the departments last week about the overall recommendations, including advice that people eat a more sustainable, plant-based diet because it is better for the environment.

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has not said what the final guidelines will look like.

But he has pledged to keep them focused on nutrition and diet, giving the meat industry some hope that perhaps at least the environmental portion could be left out.

THE SUMTER ITEM

Urn artists seek beauty in death

PHOTO PROVIDED

Brian Fox of Blythewood won first place in the Wildlife category for his photo of a spotted salamander at Lake Wateree State Park.

S.C. State Parks winter photo contest winners announced PHOTOS BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jason Van Duyn carves a funerary urn on the lathe in his garage studio in Raleigh, North Carolina. Van Duyn said he wants his urns to stand out in people’s homes as pieces of art, not as vessels for ashes.

As cremation becomes more common in the U.S., people want unique ways to remember love ones APEX, N.C. (AP) — Of all the pieces Julie Moore crafts in her home studio, the most popular is a brightly colored fabric vessel she calls “the party jar.” But in this case, the guest of honor is inside the jar.

“People that are vivacious and celebrate life — this one is what they really like,” she said. “I want it to be a piece of art that they look at and they don’t think, ‘Oh. That’s Dad’s ashes.’”

Cremations in the United States have tripled since 1985, accounting for about 44 percent of all “dispositions,” according to the Cremation Association of North America.

With families becoming increasingly transient, the organization expects that to grow to 55 percent during the next decade. And as cremations soar, more people are looking for urns that, well, don’t look like urns.

“At least one in five Americans have an urn in their house,” said Robin Simonton, executive director of Raleigh’s historic Oakwood Cemetery.

“And if you’re going to put someone on your mantle, you want them to look nice.”

On April 19, Oakwood is hosting its first Urn Art & Garden Faire — a juried competition that’s drawn entries from across the country.

Although the idea of a national urn contest has raised some eyebrows, Simonton thinks it’s an appropriate way to recognize this trend in “the personalization of death.”

Foreverence, a funeral products company in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, uses 3-D printing to allow customers to design urns in the shape of a favorite musical instrument or car, and to even create a lifelike bust of the deceased. For the family of Devo guitarist Bob Casale, the company created an urn shaped like the synth pop/new wave band’s iconic tiered hat.

Oakwood has received more than two dozen entries, made of everything from wood, ceramic and fabric to North Carolina longleaf pine needles. The farthest submission is from Wyoming. Crafted of tooled leather, it features an American Indian brave,

Cremations in the United States have tripled since 1985, accounting for about 44 percent of all “dispositions,” according to the Cremation Association of North America. slumped in the saddle, and the words: “A horse we all must ride someday.”

Jason Van Duyn began making urns a couple of years ago after reading an article about a woodworker who volunteered his time to make containers for veterans whose remains were coming home in cardboard boxes.

He looked at what was out there on the market and wasn’t impressed.

The Raleigh woodturner works almost exclusively with trees that have died naturally,

going where the wood’s grain and imperfections take him.

His urns range in price from $300 for a 70-cubic-inch piece made from a black cherry stump to $5,200 for a 450-cubic-inch red maple burl “companion” urn.

“It’s kind of on par with somebody who would get a really nice casket,” Van Duyn said. “So it’s something that the owner would be happy to have on display and that they can feel proud of and they can feel good about their loved ones being in.”

Come help us celebrate our new location in the historic Bank of Sumter Building.

FROM SOUTH CAROLINA PARKS, RECREATION AND TOURISM Three South Carolinians submitted winning photos for the third quarter of the South Carolina State Park Service’s “Making Memories” photo contest. The contest invites people to visit state parks throughout the seasons, snap photos of their memories and submit them for a chance to win prizes.

Brian Fox of Blythewood won first place in the Wildlife category for his photo of a spotted salamander at Lake Wateree State Park.

“I was walking the Desportes Island nature trail when I spotted a great blue heron wading in a nearby wooded low flat,” he said. “As I walked towards the heron in hopes of getting a photograph, I stumbled on a half rotten log and exposed a spotted salamander. Although I didn’t get a picture of the great blue heron, I did manage to take several photos of the salamander before it disappeared below the leaf litter.”

Claiming first place in the People category this winter was Kendle Enter of Ladson for a photo of her daughter enjoying the otter exhibit in the Animal Forest at Charles Towne Landing. She said they visit the park often and the Animal Forest is a favorite.

“There have been a few times when the otters are in the water, Maddie will run back and forth along the front windows and the

otters will chase after her,” Enter said. “They don’t do it every time, just every now and then. I was finally able to catch a photo of it without multiple people around!”

Walhalla Middle School band teacher Gena Sykes Turpin of West Union captured first place in the Landscape category for her sunset photo at Oconee Station State Historic Site.

“It was a really pretty day, and I had a rare afternoon with no band rehearsals. So after school, I drove around looking for things to photograph,” she said. “I decided to drive up to Oconee Station and walked around looking for beautiful pictures.

As I was leaving, the sun was setting, and I saw the beautiful shadow it was casting around that tree.

It was stunning, and I knew it would make an amazing picture.”

Each winner received a prize package valued at $200 including a gift certificate from Mast General Store, a State Park Service Park Passport Plus and an Official Guide to South Carolina State Parks.

Each winner also automatically enters into a contest for the grand prize — an ultimate outdoor adventure package worth $1,000.

The Park Service is accepting photo submissions for the spring season, the final quarter of the contest. The deadline for submissions is Sunday, May 31. For more information, visit www.SCMakingMemories.com.

Iraqi Kurds say IS group used chemical weapons

BY VIVIAN SALAMA The Associated Press

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

People scour through debris damaged and flung around in Port Vila, Vanuatu, on Saturday in the aftermath of Cyclone Pam. Winds from the extremely powerful cyclone that blew through the Pacific’s Vanuatu archipelago created widespread destruction. Eight people have been confirmed dead, according to aid workers.

8 dead in massive cyclone Aid workers say toll across Vanuatu island chain will likely rise WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — At least eight people were confirmed dead in Vanuatu after a massive cyclone tore through the tiny South Pacific archipelago, and the death toll is likely to rise much higher once communications are restored with outlying islands, aid workers said.

Packing winds of 168 miles per hour, Cyclone Pam tore through Vanuatu early Saturday, leaving a trail of destruction and unconfirmed reports of dozens of deaths.

Chloe Morrison, a World Vision emergency communications officer in Port Vila, said officials from Vanuatu’s National Disaster Management Office confirmed to her agen-

cy that at least eight people in and around the capital, Port Vila, had died during the cyclone.

Officials have yet to assess the damage in many of the hard-hit outer islands because communications remain down, she said. Morrison said she had heard reports of entire villages being destroyed in more remote areas.

A westward change of course put populated areas directly in the path of Pam. The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said there were unconfirmed reports of an additional 44 deaths in Vanuatu’s northeastern islands after Pam moved off its expected track.

Morrison said residents were awakening to much calmer weather after many hunkered down in emergency shelters for a second straight night Saturday. She said power remains out and com-

munications patchy.

Many people who have ventured out from 23 emergency shelters across Port Vila have found their homes damaged or blown away altogether, Morrison added.

Morrison said communications have been so problematic that her aid group hasn’t yet been able to account for many of its own 76 staff members on the islands.

For anybody who wasn’t in a secure shelter during the cyclone, “it would have been a very, very tough time for them,” she said.

Vanuatu has a population of 267,000 spread over 65 islands.

About 47,000 people live in the capital.

Teetering trees and downed power lines have made parts of Port Vila hazardous.

The U.N. children’s agency, UNICEF, estimated 54,000 children were among those affected by the cyclone.

BAGHDAD — Kurdish authorities in Iraq said Saturday they have evidence the Islamic State group used chlorine gas as a chemical weapon against peshmerga fighters, the latest alleged atrocity carried out by the extremist organization now under attack in Tikrit.

The allegation by the Kurdistan Region Security Council, stemming from a Jan. 23 suicide truck bomb attack in northern Iraq, did not immediately draw a reaction from the Islamic State group, which holds a third of Iraq and neighboring Syria in its self-declared caliphate. However, Iraqi officials and Kurds fighting in Syria have made similar allegations about the militants using the low-grade chemical weapons against them.

In a statement, the council said the alleged chemical attack took place on a road between Iraq’s second-largest city, Mosul, and the Syrian border, as peshmerga forces fought to seize a vital supply line used by the Sunni militants. It said its fighters later found “around 20 gas canisters” that had been loaded onto the truck involved in the attack.

Video provided by the council showed a truck

racing down a road, white smoke pouring out of it as it came under heavy fire from peshmerga fighters. It later showed a white, billowing cloud after the truck exploded and the remnants of it scattered across a road.

An official with the Kurdish council told The Associated Press that dozens of peshmerga fighters were treated for “dizziness, nausea, vomiting and general weakness” after the attack. He spoke on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to discuss the incident.

The Kurds said samples of clothing and soil from the site were analyzed by an unidentified lab in an unidentified coalition partner nation, which found chlorine traces.

“The fact ISIS relies on such tactics demonstrates it has lost the initiative and is resorting to desperate measures,” the Kurdish government said in the statement, using an alternate acronym for the Sunni militant group.

There was no independent confirmation of the Kurds’ claim. Peter Sawczak, a spokesman for the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, which has monitored Syria dismantling its chemical weapons stockpile, said his group had not been asked to investigate the attack.

Judge denies bond for 4 suspects 3 other teens facing Lee murder charges postpone hearings

BY MATT BRUCE matthew@theitem.com Seven suspects charged with murder last month in connection with a pair of Lee County shooting deaths appeared Wednesday afternoon at a hearing at Sumter County Courthouse.

The teens face murder charges stemming from the killings of Dontrell Fortune and Shakez Bracey.

Four of the suspects asked 3rd Circuit Court Judge George James Jr. to issue bond on their respective charges.

James denied bond for each of the defendants. The other three suspects waived their requests for bond hearings until a later date.

Authorities found the two teen victims dead within the span of little more than 72 hours in September. As details of the violent deaths unfolded,

Osteen won for column writing. This category honors a body of work, requiring columnists to submit three of their best columns for the year.

is a splash park.

Harris said the splash park is something the community has been requesting for a long time.

He said he was also approached by members of Sumter City Council about adding it.

Sumter City councilman David Merchant said parents of the Alice Drive area spoke with him about a water feature being added to the park to keep kids cool during the warmer seasons. He said he later brought the question to Harris and the city manager, Deron McCormick.

Harris said there are splash parks in other parks across the city and it was just a matter of time until one was brought to Palmetto Park.

There are four other splash parks in Sumter: Crosswell Park, North HOPE Park, Birnie HOPE Park and South Sumter Park.

Harris said the splash park will be great for

Sumter families, especially during sports tournaments at the park. He said there is no doubt that the new addition will be popular during the summer.

The public services department accepted a $66,000 bid for the construction of the splash park and is finalizing the contracts for the project.

Construction of the splash park is expected to start April 1 and should be completed by June.

ROLL CALL WASHINGTON (AP) — Here’s how area senators voted on major issues in the week ending March 13. The House was in recess.

CONFIRMATION OF TRANSPORTATION-SAFETY CHIEF Voting 97 for and none against, the Senate on March 12 confirmed Christopher A. Hart as chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board.

A lawyer and longtime federal employee in the transportation field, Hart had been the board’s acting chairman. The NTSB, an independent agency with a $104 million annual budget, is charged with determining the cause of every civil aviation accident and high-profile rail, marine, pipeline and highway incidents.

It makes recommendations to help the transportation industry and government agencies take corrective steps to prevent such incidents in the future.

Bill Nelson, D-Fla., said NTSB “helps keep all of us safe. They play a difficult role. They must put aside all differences between jurisdictions, politics and partisanship to get the job done.�

No senator spoke against the nominee.

A yes vote was to confirm Hart as NTSB chairman.

CONFIRMATION OF INTELLECTUAL-PROPERTY CHIEF Voting 92 for and none against, the Senate on March 9 confirmed Daniel Henry Marti as the top administration official for coordinating policies and enforcement actions to protect intellectual-property rights in the federal government and private sector.

Marti had been the managing partner in a Washington, D.C., law firm specializing in both domestic and foreign intellectual-property law. His new title is intellectual property enforcement coordinator in the Executive Office of the President.

Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said, “Nowhere is (Marti’s) work more important than in addressing counterfeiting and infringement in the online world — a complex, global problem that requires creative, thoughtful solutions.�

Oil on its way down again; will gasoline prices follow?

Gas could be less than $2 per gallon this summer, according to oil analyst NEW YORK (AP) — The price of oil is tumbling again, rattling an already-shaken oil industry and heralding lower prices for consumers.

The price of oil fell 10 percent this week, approaching its lowest price in six years. Many expect it to fall further in the coming weeks because supplies are rising, and the summer driving season is still months away.

The lower crude prices will mean gasoline prices will slide lower in the coming weeks, and many drivers will likely pay under $2 a gallon in the summertime.

Oil prices had appeared to stabilize in a range nearly 15 percent higher than the depths they had reached in late January. But on Friday the International Energy Agency called a recent rise in oil prices a “head fake� and a “facade of stability.�

On Friday, oil fell $2.21, or 5 percent, to $44.84 a barrel, within 40

cents of its low for the year of $44.45.

Gasoline prices rise nearly every year around this time. This year has been no different. After reaching a low of $2.03 a gallon in late January, the national average retail price rose every day for more than a month, reaching $2.46 on March 7, according to AAA. But the spring surge is likely over, according to Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service. The national average has slipped lower every day for the past week, falling to $2.44 on Friday, and Kloza expects it to fall the rest of March and April.

The national average won’t fall all the way to its January low, Kloza said, in part because refiners must still switch to more expensive summer blends of gasoline to meet clean air standards.

But he expects drivers in much of the nation, especially in the South, to be paying less than $2 a gallon at times this spring and summer. “This is something unique,�

Kloza said. “The market (decline) is going to make it so you don’t even notice when your local station switches from winter to summer gas.�

Officials in Ferguson, Missouri, billed the AP $135 an hour for nearly a day’s work merely to retrieve emails from a handful of accounts about the fatal shooting of Michael Brown. That was roughly 10 times the cost of an entrylevel Ferguson clerk’s salary.

Despite head-pounding frustrations in using them, the Freedom of Information Act and state open records laws are powerful reporting tools. But it’s important to remember that they don’t exist just for journalists.

They are there for everyone.

The right to know what public officials are doing, how they’re going about it, what money they are spending and why … that right belongs to all citizens.

Government works better when the people who put it in office and pay for it with their taxes have an unobstructed view of what it is doing.

And that is why it is vital that we all fight every attempt _ from federal footdragging to outrageous photocopying bills _ to hide the public’s information behind a big, padlocked door. We need to let the sun shine in.

Clinton scandal just the latest example of ‘shadow government’

BY TRISHA O’CONNOR

T

he controversy encircling Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her use of private email to conduct public business provides our latest example of government in the shadows, a situation we know well in South Carolina.

“Shadow government,” as S.C. Press Association Director Bill Rogers has labeled it, means conducting public business via private emails, texts, Twitter or other social media accounts that are not connected to government servers and thus not retrievable by government agencies and the public.

The idea that electronic communiTrisha cation of pubO’Connor lic business should be stored and made available to the public similarly to printed communication is not new.

Compliance remains another matter.

Mrs. Clinton called her use of private email “a matter of convenience.”

She said she turned over all relevant emails to the State Department, which will review them and later publish them online. Worth noting is that the nonpartisan Committee for Effective Government has rated the State Department last among major agencies in processing FOI requests, once taking as long as six years to comply with a request.

Here in South Carolina, our examples of shadow government range from the governor’s office to the smallest town’s elected officials.

Decisions about budgets, taxes, school and road openings and closings, hirings and firings, you name it — public officials who discuss these and other issues via private channels prevent citizens and the press from participating in the process and overseeing the actions of

those who represent us.

Under the S.C. Freedom of Information Act, public bodies are required to turn over all public records in their possession. The law says public records include documentary materials “regardless of physical form or characteristics.”

When the law was adopted in 1976, developing technology couldn’t be specifically included because, of course, it didn’t exist. But the qualifying phrase, “regardless of physical form or characteristics,” applies.

Sadly, South Carolina’s email retention laws are confusing and inconsistently enforced, resulting in blurred lines between public communication and private. This has resulted in the loss of important correspondence never made available as public records and also documents inadvertently deleted from state servers.

Bills under consideration right now in Columbia include one that would designate an office of FOI review, making it easier for citizens and journalists to use FOI tools without costly legal bills; and another that would require an agenda for public meetings, thus negating a state Supreme Court decision last year which seriously weakened public notice of government intentions.

Rep. Weston Newton, RBeaufort and a sponsor of the bills in the House, said that our state has a culture developed around the idea that decisions are made by a select few and everyone else hears about it afterward.

And, there’s one bright spot in the current email debate worth noting: at least Hillary Clinton knows how to use email. Our own Sen. Lindsey Graham declared on national television that he’s never sent an email. Ignorance of communication technology is truly so last century.

Trisha O’Connor is the chair of the South Carolina Press Association’s FOI committee and media executive in residence at Coastal Carolina University where she teaches journalism.

Before taking a leap of faith, ask questions. The initial information you’ve been given might not be accurate. Look at the downside and consider the consequences.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Keep your emotions in check. Someone will try to manipulate you into donating money to something that isn’t worthwhile. You’re better off investing in something that will help you develop your skills and talents and help bring in extra cash.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll respond emotionally if someone tries to push you. Don’t react impulsively if you want to avoid discord. A joint endeavor is best avoided. If you want to do something, do it on your own. Trust in your ability and expertise.

PREP GIRLS BASKETBALL

All-Star ensemble Four area athletes chosen for showcase games featuring the state’s top players

BY MICHAEL CHRISTOPHER michaelc@theitem.com It was a big year for high school girls basketball in Sumter County, and it shows by the number of local players who will be playing in all-star games.

Sumter High School’s Nijah Davis has been selected to play in the 18th Annual Carolinas All-Star Basketball Classic while teammate Kadejuah Kennedy will play in the North-South All-Star game along with Lakewood’s Sonora Dengokl and Crestwood’s Ladazha Cole.

Davis said she worked hard in the offseason to improve her overall game for the Lady Gamecocks, who went 24-3 and had a 22-game winning streak before losing to Irmo in the third round of the 4A state playoffs.

“I feel like I worked hard this year, and I feel honored that I’m able to play (in the Carolinas Classic) and represent my school,” Davis said.

The 6-foot Davis averaged a career high 7.5 points, to go along with 6.0 rebounds and 1.75 blocked shots per game.

She also made 20 3-point baskets and will compete in the classic’s 3-point shooting contest.

“There’s not that many players that have an outside shot that she’s got and that’s kind of what separates her,” SHS head coach Jason Loudenslager said. “To me, that’s probably one of the things they looked at in particular when they chose her for this team, is her ability to shoot the basketball from the post.

“She opened up so many things that we do offensively, depending on what teams were doing against us. Whether

’Cats rout Tigers 91-67 in SEC semis

Harvick oddson favorite to win at Phoenix

BY JENNA FRYER The Associated Press

BY GARY B. GRAVES The Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Top-ranked Kentucky reached high gear quickly and poured it on against an Auburn squad that lost two players in less than 24 hours.

Considering the Wildcats’ effectiveness in many areas Saturday in a 91-67 victory that put them in the Southeastern Conference final, chances are a full-strength Tigers squad wouldn’t have done much to change it.

Willie Cauley-Stein scored 18 points and Andrew Harrison added 15 to help Kentucky improve to 33-0 and break the school-record winning streak of 32 games set from Dec. 5,

SEE KENTUCKY, PAGE B3

“We are hopeful that maybe we get some conversation about the NIT,” Tanner said. “I did a little research on that today, and our RPI is in the vicinity. It might not be exactly where we need for it to be, but I felt, coming into this game, we were in that conversation.”

AVONDALE, Ariz. — Kevin Harvick has been nearly unstoppable since he charged to his first Sprint Cup championship last season.

The overwhelming favorite to win today’s race at Phoenix International Raceway, Harvick could realistically have a shot at a three-race sweep of NASCAR’s current HARVICK West Coast swing.

He picked up his first win of the season last week at Las Vegas, has proved himself almost unbeatable at Phoenix, and has had strong showings at California, next week’s venue.

Although the possibility exists that he could sweep this trip, Harvick said his Stewart-Haas Racing team has not discussed it once.

“We never talk about stuff like that,’’ he said. “We don’t talk about things we’ve done. We always talk about the things we do wrong and we talk about the things that we need to do different. It’s never really anything about last week. It’s always about next week and the things that we have to do to try to be prepared when we come to the race track.’’

Postseason a possibility for Carolina this year

BY DAVID CLONINGER The State NASHVILLE, Tenn. — For the first time since 2009, South Carolina is waiting.

The Gamecocks finished the SEC tournament with a loss to Georgia on Friday, but their postseason hopes still are alive. For five straight years, USC left the

SEC tournament knowing the season was over. This year, the Gamecocks MARTIN could be playing again as early as Tuesday.

At 17-16, USC could be selected for the NIT. If that doesn’t happen, the College

Basketball Invitational is an option. Head coach Frank Martin said earlier in the week that he would lobby for any postseason bid and affirmed it Friday.

Athletics director Ray Tanner, attending the SEC tournament, also said USC is prepared for any postseason bid that might come its way.

BOYS AREA ROUNDUP

Gator Classic championship game postponed by weather There was no official winner in this weekend’s 2015 Gator Classic at Lakewood High School as the championship match between host Lakewood High School and Laurence Manning Academy did not take place on Saturday because of unsafe field conditions caused by inclement weather.

The game will be played at a later date to be determined.

The Swampcats opened the tournament with a 3-0 victory over Calhoun Academy while the Gators won the second game 2-1 over Whale Branch High School.

Christian McDonald scored the first goal for LHS assisted by CJ McEachin then Blake Carraher scored the game-deciding goal. Jonathan Roberts had three saves in goal for the Gators.

The third-place game between Calhoun Academy and Whale Branch was called at halftime because of the field conditions. The game will count as a draw but the teams went to a penalty kick shootout with the Cavaliers winning 2-1.

Lakewood, now 6-0 overall and 1-0 in Region VI-3A play, will travel to Columbia on Tuesday to take on Eau Claire High School.

JUNIOR VARSITY SOCCER LAKEWOOD 3 BROOKLAND-CAYCE 2 CAYCE — Lakewood High School improved to 2-1 on the season with a 3-2 victory over Brookland-Cayce on Thursday at the B-C field.

Jack Turcio scored the Gators’

first goal on an assist from Fillip Cadena. Lakewood got a goal from Christian Somcheen off an assist from Tyler Carraher to tie the match at 2-2 with five minutes remaining.

With two minutes left, Turcio scored the winning goal on an assist from Carraher.

Goalie Joshua Knotts had a diving save in the final seconds to secure the win.

VARSITY BASEBALL DARLINGTON 10 CRESTWOOD 0 Crestwood opened Region VI-3A play with a 10-0 loss to Darlington on Friday at the Falcons field.

What hurts USC is 16 losses and the recent stipulations that the NIT must

offer berths to regular-season conference champions that aren’t going to the NCAA tournament. The NCAA also declared this year that the “first four out” of the NCAA tournament will be No. 1 seeds in the NIT. There are several small-conference teams that won the regular season but lost in the conference tournament and were relegated to the NIT. By the time the NCAA bids are finalized, the Gamecocks may be on the outside looking in. That opens the door for the CBI.

Hogs earn SEC title game berth NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Michael Qualls scored 15 points and No. 21 Arkansas beat third-seeded Georgia 60-49 on Saturday in the Southeastern Conference semifinals.

The second-seeded Razorbacks (26-7) will play top-ranked Kentucky today in their sixth championship game and first time since 2008.

Both teams struggled in a sluggish game for teams that played Friday night, with Georgia leaving the arena around midnight.

Bobby Portis scored a season-low four points for Arkansas. The coaches’ pick for the SEC’s best player hit only one of 14 shots, though he grabbed 12 rebounds.

Georgia (21-11) failed for a second straight year to reach the Bulldogs’ first final since 2008 when they won a tournament rearranged by tornadoes that hit Atlanta.

BIG 12 (13) IOWA STATE 70 (9) KANSAS 66 KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Iowa State’s unflappable bunch of comeback kids did it one more time.

Georges Niang scored 19 points, Abdel Nader made the go-ahead foul shots with 48 seconds to go, and the No. 13 Cyclones rallied from a 17-point second-half hole to beat ninth-ranked Kansas 70-66 in the Big 12 Tournament championship.

KENTUCKY FROM PAGE B1 1953, to Jan. 8, 1955. The Wildcats will face Arkansas, seeking their 28th tournament title and first since 2011.

Their effort against the Tigers was certainly a good tuneup.

“It was a good game, a hardfought game and we played well,’’ said Kentucky coach John Calipari, whose team shot 56 percent and outrebounded Auburn 39-25.

Trey Lyles, Aaron Harrison and Devin Booker each added 12 points for the Wildcats.

They led by 28 with 6:04 left.

The Wildcats had their way against a short-handed opponent. Auburn forward Jordon Granger was suspended for fighting in Friday’s quarterfinal win over LSU, and the

school announced just before the tipoff that forward Cinmeon Bowers had been suspended for a potential rules violation.

Antoine Mason had 23 points for Auburn (15-20), which shot 33 percent and had won its previous three games. Malcolm Canada added 16 points, and KT Harrell had 13.

Coming off a 15-point quarterfinal victory, Kentucky started stronger and didn’t let up. More than anything, the Wildcats quickly deflated an Auburn team that upset fourth-seeded LSU 73-70 in overtime Friday.

“We wanted to have a faster start than yesterday (against) Florida, and that’s what we

did,’’ guard Aaron Harrison said.

Whatever euphoria the Tigers enjoyed from the LSU game faded in a hurry against Kentucky, which drilled them by 35 points last month in Lexington. The challenge was all the more difficult without Granger, who sat several rows behind the Auburn bench with fans dressed in warmups.

Then came the pregame announcement of Bowers’ suspension that made Auburn’s task even tougher. The forward sat on the bench dressed in a warmup, left with the role of playing cheerleader.

Starting in Bowers’ place was 6-foot-5 junior swing man Devin Waddell, who had scored just 14 points this season. The Tigers also used 7-foot-2 reserve Trayvon

THE SUMTER ITEM

PRO FOOTBALL

Wild opening week for NFL business season

BY BARRY WILNER The Associated Press

SUMTER ITEM FILE PHOTO

Sumter’s Nijah Davis, back left, is one of four area girls basketball players selected to particpate in upcoming all-star games along with teammate Kadejuah Kennedy, Lakewood’s Sonora Dengokl and Crestwood’s Ladazha Cole.

ALL-STAR FROM PAGE B1 they were matching up or playing zones, we could stretch her outside and really put people in bad spots because at times we had five players on the floor that we had faith in that could shoot the 3,” he said.

The Carolinas Classic will pit the best boys and girls players from South Carolina against the best from North Carolina. The games will take place on Saturday, March 28, at Myrtle Beach High School, starting with the girls at 6:30 p.m.

The 3-point shooting contest and slam dunk competition will be held on Friday, March 27, at 7 p.m.

The North-South games will be played on Saturday at Lexington High School with the girls game starting at 1 p.m. followed by the boys contest.

Cole, Kennedy and Dengokl will be teammates on the South squad, which will have Crestwood head coach Tony Wilson serving as an assistant.

Cole averaged 7 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals for Crestwood, which went 21-5 and lost to Lakewood in the 3A lower state title game.

Cole, who is known for her 3-point shooting ability, said she was surprised by the honor and hopes it will get her noticed by some college coaches.

“I just want to play a big role and knock down open shots and make myself noticeable,” Cole said.

Wilson said Cole will fit right in with the South squad’s style of play, which will be predicated on tough defense.

“She’s just got to go out there and play up to her ability and play within the system we’re going to run and she’ll be fine,” he said.

Kennedy said she was also surprised by the honor.

“I just want to do well and I feel good about making the team,” Kennedy said. “It shows that I’ve been working hard and for them to want me to play in this, it feels good.”

Kennedy averaged 7.5 points, 3.5 steals and 2 rebounds, but picked up her play in Region VI play. She averaged 9.5 points, 3.0 steals and 2.2 assists.

“She’s our best example of the three things I love most

about basketball and basketball players,” Loudenslager said. “I call it the PHD – Pride, Hustle and Desire. That girl has brought it from Day 1 and that’s the biggest thing we’re going to miss with her leaving this year.”

Last, but certainly not least, is Lakewood’s Dengkol, who was unable to be reached for comment. Dengokl led the 22-5 Lady Gators to the 3A state championship game where they lost to Lancaster 44-42.

Dengokl, who will play collegiately at North Carolina Asheville, averaged 16.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.1 steals and 0.8 blocked shots.

“Having three kids in the same town of Sumter (in the North-South game), it’s great for all three of those individuals and it’s great for the city as a whole,” Loudenslager said. “If you look at this season girls basketball in this town was by far the best in the state with the season that Lakewood had, the season that Crestwood had and I thought we had a pretty good season too. There are some great girls basketball players around here and we get three kids who get to showcase their skills.”

KEEPING UP

Dallery finding her stroke as collegiate golfer

A

nnabelle Dallery might be a lone Wolf.

The Sumter High School graduate doesn’t know of any other area women playing college golf like she is a sophomore for Newberry College.

“It was just a really great opDALLERY portunity,” she said about playing in college. “The courses that we get to play, you’d never think you’d get to go there as (a college athlete).”

Though she lacks the experience that her teammates have, Dallery has been in the lineup regularly. Last year she had a 85.2 scoring average in eight events, according to the South Atlantic Conference online site.

During the summer she competed in Hurricane Collegiate Golf Tour tournaments to stay match ready. In June Barbara she played in Boxleitner the Charleston Collegiate Challenge, shooting a 176 (8888) to place fourth among five.

She shot a 171 (78-93), again fourth among five, at the Myrtle Beach Collegiate Open during July.

She has a 85.4 scoring average, sixth on the team, through four events, including three this spring. She shot a 162 (83-79), fourth among the Wolves, at the Tusculum/Kiawah Island Intercollegiate in February. She carded a 176

(89-87), fifth on her team, at the Armstrong Pirate Women’s Invitational in March.

Consistency in all aspects of her game remains the goal.

“It’d be nice to hit fairways and greens,” she said, adding that putts she misses typically veer left and penalty shots have hurt.

She works daily on her short game, although she said it already has improved.

“It’s something I never spent a lot of time on,” said Dallery, who has a swing coach in Columbia. “I’ve really been working on the mental game. You get bad breaks. You can’t let yourself get down.

Getting that bad hole over with and moving on.”

NEW YORK — Maybe everyone should have known from the way the Super Bowl ended that the beginning of the NFL’s business season would be wild.

Chip Kelly made one stunning move after another. The normally freespending KELLY Cowboys let DeMarco Murray, the league’s top offensive player, walk — to Kelly and division rival Philadelphia.

Three players retired in their primes. The Colts loaded up on veterans, a clear message they believe 2015 is their year to make super things happen.

Then the Jets brought back the two key players from their outstanding secondary under Rex Ryan.

But wait, Ryan is now in Buffalo, remaking the Bills’ roster. And the Dolphins added Ndamukong Suh. All three teams want to mount some sort of challenge to the Patriots.

Things should slow down now, although who really knows given the frantic nature of this week?

“This is a process that goes all the way through until the trading deadline stops, and (then) there’s no moves until the season’s over,’’ says Broncos boss John Elway. “It’s a process.

It just slows down. Now you get out of the frenzy of everything, and you can get back to reality and try to find some good football players.’’

Some observations on all that frenzied action:

PLAYING ALL HIS CHIPS Giving Kelly the keys to the kingdom in Philly after he won his power struggle with GM Howie Roseman led to the kind of bartering rarely seen in the NFL. Kelly fully believes in the offensive system he brought from Oregon and has gone 20-12 in his two regular seasons with the Eagles. His vision of the players he wants is undeterred by cost — QB Sam Bradford brings a $16.58 million cap hit; RB Murray will get $42 million over five years.

Not only is Kelly changing the face of his franchise by moving around so many pieces, he might be altering the way teams look at making trades. As the salary cap continues to rise through the remaining six years of the labor agreement and all

32 clubs have more spending power, bold steps (leaps really) could become less frightening throughout the NFL.

ALL-IN IN INDY The Colts have a budding superstar quarterback in Andrew Luck. They have a strong coaching staff led

by Chuck Pagano and have systematically rebuilt the roster since Peyton Manning left.

After making the playoffs the last three years and advancing one step further each time, they believe a Super Bowl trip is their 2015 destiny. So GM Ryan Grigson has surrounded Luck and some of his younger regulars with a slew of veterans.

Luck gets a Hall of Fame caliber receiver in Andre Johnson, and a workhouse runner in Frank Gore.

Both bring solid leadership to the clubhouse.

They also brought in safety Mike Adams, linebacker Trent Cole, defensive end Kendall Langford and guard Todd Herremans.

Super Bowl or bust?

Could be for Indy.

OUT OF HERE With all this money being thrown around, it was somewhat surprising that three players nowhere near the end of their productive football years called it quits.

Perennial Pro Bowl LB Patrick Willis left millions on the table in departing the 49ers after a borderline Hall of Fame quality eight pro seasons. Steelers free agent LB Jason Worilds likely would have gotten a very nice contract somewhere. And Jake Locker’s upside at age 26 was enchanting in a quarterbackdriven sport.

Each of them felt they either weren’t healthy enough or passionate enough to keep going.

HOW ‘BOUT THEM NONSPENDING COWBOYS? Maybe the most puzzling approach to free agency came out of Dallas. Owner Jerry Jones has never met a talented, high-priced free agent he wasn’t enamored of. Yet, in great part due to the clear-headed persuasiveness of his son, team COO Stephen Jones, the Cowboys have been quiet.

They kept All-Pro WR Dez Bryant, their top priority, but that deal and previous contracts put them in salary cap purgatory. Stephen Jones seems determined to get the Cowboys out of it.

COLLEGE BASEBALL ROUNDUP

Pair of 2-run homers lead Gamecocks past Wildcats COLUMBIA — A pair of 2-run homers off the bats of Alex Destino and Elliot Caldwell lifted seventh-ranked South Carolina to a 4-3 victory over Kentucky on Saturday at Carolina Stadium.

The Gamecocks improved to 16-3 and DESTINO 2-0 in league play while the loss drops the Wildcats to 13-5 and 0-2 in the SEC. After Caldwell led of the second inning with a single, Destino crushed a 2-0 CALDWELL pitch from Wildcat starter Dustin Beggs over the right field wall to give the Gamecocks a 2-0 lead.

Kentucky cut the lead in half plating a run in the top of the fourth. Ka’ai Tom opened with a double, advanced to third on JaVon Shelby’s single and scored on a double from Marcus Carson.

Caldwell extended the lead for the Gamecocks in the seventh with a 2-run blast over the left field wall.

The Wildcats cut the Gamecock lead to 4-3 as they pushed across two runs in the eighth on a sacrifice fly from Storm Wilson and a RBI single off the bat of Thomas Bernal.

Jack Wynkoop (4-1) allowed two runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out five batters in 7 1/3 innings of work. Taylor Widener earned his sixth save after pitching 1 2/3 innings to close out the game. He allowed one run on two hits and struck out two.

In Friday’s series opener, USC picked up a 10-1 victory.

The Wildcats scored a run in the top of the first off of Gamecock starting pitcher Wil Crowe.

After that he was lights out, working seven innings while allowing one hit and three walks against 10 strikeouts.

USC scored four runs in the fifth and added two in each of its next three at-bats to win going away.

Max Schrock led Carolina, going 2-for-4 with three runs scored and five runs batted in.

Gene Cone and Jordan Gore both scored twice.

CLEMSON 6-6 NOTRE DAME 1-11

CLEMSON — Lane Richards’ infield single with two outs in the eighth inning plated two runs to break a 6-6 tie in Notre Dame’s 11-6 win over Clemson in the second game of a doubleheader on Saturday at Doug Kingsmore Sta-

dium on Saturday.

Clemson won the opener 6-1.

The Fighting Irish improved to 13-4 overall and 2-3 in the ACC. The Tigers dropped to 9-8 overall and 2-3 in ACC play.

Notre Dame scored single runs in the first and second innings, then doubled its lead with two runs in the third inning, highlighted by Zak Kutsulis’ run-scoring triple, and the Fighting Irish added two more runs in the fifth.

The Tigers roared back with six runs on five hits and two costly errors in the sixth inning to tie the score 6-6, but they squandered an opportunity to take the lead in the seventh inning after Eli White’s leadoff triple.

With two outs and no runners on base in the eighth inning, five straight Notre Dame batters reached base, the fourth of which was Richards’ perfectly-placed single that scored the go-ahead run.

Pat Krall (0-1) suffered the loss despite pitching 3 1/3 effective innings, allowing two hits and no earned runs.

Matthew Crownover (4-0) allowed no earned runs and three hits in eight innings pitched to earn the win in the opener. He struck out six and walked four.

Clemson jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning, highlighted by Reed Rohlman’s RBI double. After the Tigers added a run in the third and Notre Dame answered with an unearned run in the top of the sixth, Chase Pinder belted a 2-out, 2-run homer down the left field line to give Clemson a 5-1 lead.

CITADEL 7 LAFAYETTE 4

CHARLESTON — Connor Walsh and Stephen Windham both drove in two runs in a 5-run fifth inning as The Citadel rallied from a 3-1 deficit on the way to a 7-4 victory over Lafayette on Saturday at Riley Park.

The Bulldogs have won four in a row to improve to 9-7 while Lafayette dropped to 1-5.

Sumter’s William Kinney had a hit and two walks while scoring a run for the Bulldogs. Another Sumterite, Phillp Watcher, scored a run, walked and had a sacrifice.

In Friday’s opener, Sumter’s John Patrick Sears struck out eight in six innings to pick up the victory in the Bulldogs’ 3-1 win.

Sears gave up just four hits and one walk to improve to 3-2 on the season.

Philip Watcher was 2-for-3 with a run, while twin brother Jacob had a hit. Kinney doubled.

From staff reports

HARVICK FROM PAGE B1 There’s zero doubt that Harvick and crew chief Rodney Childers came prepared to Phoenix.

Harvick won the pole, his first at Phoenix, and closed Saturday with both the fastest lap in final practice and the best 10-lap average.

He has won four of the last five races at Phoenix, and has six career victories at a track he considers one of his favorite on the circuit. As Harvick talked this weekend of how it will take a mistake by the No. 4 team or a fluke for him to lose today, the rest of the field worked on their equipment and tried not to accept their inevitable fate.

Daytona 500 winner Joey Logano, who will start second behind Harvick on Sunday, was unwilling to throw in the towel.

“He is human like anyone else,’’ Logano said. “He is beatable, believe me. We just have to figure out the way to do it.

He knows something running here — he just knows what he needs in the race car. I think it is something he looks for and a feel that he is able to maintain his tires throughout a long run.

“I think that is what we all strive for, to figure that part out. We have identified that is where he beats us, we have to fix it. Half the battle is figuring out where you are getting beat.’’

NASCAR Hall of Famer Darrell Waltrip, currently an analyst for Fox, believes the No. 4 team has the competition beat each week before the car is even unloaded at the track. Through preparation at the shop, Harvick and Childers have the luxury of spending the weekend fine-tuning in race trim.

“They’re basically unbeatable,’’ Waltrip said. “While Harvick is a great driver, what makes the No. 4 team so tough to beat is that the car is so fast every week. They’re setting the mark.’’

Dating back to last season, Harvick has six consecutive top-two finishes, has won three of the last six races and used his win at Phoenix last year to catapult his championship run. He opened this season with two runner-up finishes before winning last week.

Waltrip likens this current dominance to the run Jimmie Johnson and Chad Knaus had as they racked up five consecutive championships and six overall.

“Smart crew chief, fast car and great driver,’’ he said of Johnson and Knaus.

“It’s the same scenario with the No. 4 car now and the same mojo. It’s equally as hard to beat Harvick now as it was to beat Johnson a few years ago.’’

Other things going on at Phoenix International Raceway:

PATRICK AT HOME Danica Patrick still owns a house in Phoenix, so she came directly from Las Vegas to spend the week catching up with friends.

But it’s been back to work this weekend at Phoenix International Raceway, where she’ll start 23rd on Sunday. She’s still adjusting to new crew chief Daniel Knost, who moved to her team with three races remaining last season in a crew swap with Kurt Busch. Knost is in his second year as a Sprint Cup Series crew chief.

After developing a rapport with former crew chief Tony Gibson, she said she’s still trying to get on the same page with Knost. Misinterpreted feedback last week led to the wrong in-race adjustments.

“You can’t bridge the gap between something that you spent two years working on (with Gibson) to something that you’ve been working on for a couple of races,’’ she said. “What is exciting is the potential of what could be because we are both so green. So far, we’ve worked really well together. It’s been really easy.’’

ALLMENDINGER TO THE BACK JTG-Daugherty Racing decided between practices Saturday to swap the engine in AJ Allmendinger’s car. The change means Allmendinger will start at the back of the field Sunday.

Allmendinger said the temperatures were high on the engine during first practice, and the Earnhardt Childress Racing engine was pulled.

“We didn’t qualify as well as we wanted to anyway, so we decided to take the opportunity to change it now and eliminate any doubts,’’ crew chief Brian Burns said. “We have a good race car and ECR Engines have been awesome all year. We are just taking some precautionary measures to make sure we are good to go to the end.’’

Allmendinger, who was supposed to start 22nd, is coming off consecutive top-10 finishes. He was sixth last weekend at Las Vegas.

He said the ECR engines have been extremely reliable.

“What has been awesome about this whole ECR package is this is the first time I’ve had something like this happen in over a year,’’ he said.

Can Beauty save the Beast?

Enchantment, humor in Sumter Little Theatre’s cautionary tale

BY IVY MOORE ivy@theitem.com

W

e might think we have Walt Disney to thank for the almost overwhelming staying power of fairy tales, but even before those extravagant – and altered – retellings, the original tales managed to remain popular with children and adults for centuries. The stories are enthralling, the characters interesting, and the morals universal.

Eric Bultman, who is directing “Beauty and the Beast” at Sumter Little Theatre, said he is the “only person involved with the production who hasn’t seen the Disney version.”

And that may be a good thing.

The show opening Thursday at the theater is based on the original fairy tale written by Charles Perrault in the 18th century and collected soon after by the Brothers Grimm. Disney’s story follows the original plot very loosely, but as Delaney Johnson and Lauren Cain, members of SLT’s Youth Theater noted, “There are no singing teapots.”

“It’s not a musical,” Bultman said, adding that audiences won’t see “dancing forks, spoons or candlesticks. ... This adaptation introduces the family, Beauty (Skylar Head), her sisters Henriette and Paulette (Lauren Graves and Emily Walker) and her brothers Henri and Paul (James Zalimas and Desmond Mitchell), as well as Poppa (Tim Boyd) and Toot Sweet, the family servant (Cain).

“The story is the same, Poppa has lost his fortune and the once wealthy family must learn to live without money.”

Sean McAlister plays the Prince, and Caroline Getz is the Page.

Johnson, who is stage manager for the production,

fact, he said, “he’s a monster, arrogant, a know-it-all, who cares about no one but himself.”

Bultman further described the Prince as “heartless, greedy ... only dreams of power and wealth .. mean and ruthless. ... All of the action is overseen by a Spirit who encourages the characters, especially Beauty, to dream and to love one another. (The Prince) doesn’t heed the warning of the Spirit and is turned into a Beast.”

Getting into the character of the Beast involved a lot of physical work, McAlister said.

“I have to walk like a beast, look strong and powerful, deepen my voice,” he said.

The Beast’s appearance will be enhanced by a mask created by artist Heidi Adler, who also created the man-eating plant Audrey II for SLT’s production of “Little Shop of Horrors.”

When Poppa picks a rose from the Beast’s garden, the Beast agrees not to kill him if Poppa will give him one of his daughters.

Skylar Head is Beauty, the one character who is able to love unconditionally, including making great sacrifices for those she loves, especially her Poppa.

“Beauty is very brave and likes helping people, and she’s scared of going to live with the Beast, but she goes willingly in order to save her father,” Head said, adding, “It’s a lot of fun to play a fairy princess.”

Beauty meets the Prince only after he has become the Beast, and “he must remain a Beast until he learns to love and to be loved for his kindness and generosity, and it is Beauty who helps him make the transformation,” Bultman said.

DEAR ABBY — My 13-year-old granddaughter is 5 feet 9 inches tall.

She walks hunched Dear Abby over, and ABIGAIL when she VAN BUREN stands with a group, she keeps her legs 2 feet apart. She’s on a softball team and is always sitting on the ground in the dugout.

She is the tallest one in the seventh grade in her school. Some of her classmates call her the “giant.”

I’ve been with her when someone approaches her who hasn’t seen her in a while and says, “Wow! You’ve grown really tall.”

She hates school and has no friends. She also happens to be very pretty. She’s taller than anyone in the family. What can we do for her?

Grandpa in Indiana DEAR GRANDPA — Being perceived as different at your granddaughter’s age can be very painful. The best thing you can do for her right now is to be supportive.

Keep telling her that being tall is not only nothing to be ashamed of, but it can be an asset. Encourage her to find activities she is interested in. In addition to softball, she might excel at basketball or volleyball. Re-

mind her that fashion models are tall women, many of whom were teased about their height when they were her age.

Tall women of note: Taylor Swift, Gisele Bundchen, Nicole Kidman, Venus and Serena Williams, Brooke Shields, Geena Davis and Michelle Obama come immediately to mind. First daughter Malia Obama was 5 feet 9 at 13, like your granddaughter. None of them is ashamed of their height; they “own” who they are and carry themselves with pride. Research modeling schools in your area because enrolling your granddaughter in some of the classes may help her to feel less awkward about her height.

DEAR ABBY — I’m a 33-yearold single woman, a nurse who paid for my own education and am still trying to further it. I work a lot, have a nice car and I am remodeling my house. I make good money, but I have to take certain training, keep my licenses current, etc. I’m serious about my career, and I’m proud of myself.

I was talking to a friend the other day about dating, and I said I wouldn’t date someone who made half or less than what I do. I was used as a cash cow in previous relationships and I’m not putting up with it anymore. This makes dating difficult at times, but I’m

sticking to my guns. She said it makes me a snob because not everyone earns what I do.

Abby, I’m not a snob by any means. I’m generous toward my loved ones. But I feel that in this day and age, people can always better themselves like I have, and I don’t want another man thinking I will support him.

It’s not fair to me. Any advice?

Looking for my equal DEAR LOOKING — Your friend was correct when she said not everyone has the earning capacity that you do.

But you are right in your conviction that people can better themselves if they are determined to do it.

Considering your personal history, I don’t think you’re a snob for feeling the way you do. That said, however, I would hate to think you might exclude a great guy who earns less, because he could be helpful in other ways and have qualities the others don’t.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

The Rodgers Building, home to students in pre-kindergarten through third grade, is exploding with the fantastical world of Dr. Seuss all throughout March to celebrate literacy. Students and teachers are celebrating with Seuss-themed crafts, math and English activities and even science projects. Among the many Seussian decorations in the hallway is a large motivational poster tracking the students’ acts of kindness with stickers and reminding them that “Horton Hears a Who — Who is kind, Are you?” Pre-kindergarten teachers crafted Loraxes with pictures of their students’ faces.

First grade kicked off the month with a birthday celebration for Dr. Seuss on March 2, and they are reading a Dr. Seuss book every day while studying the rhyming words in it.

They are also pairing the story “One Fish, Two Fish” with fish candy as they learn to count by threes in their math class. Second grade is celebrating Dr. Seuss one day each week with snacks such as Truffula Rice Krispy Trees, art projects including making Thing 1 Thing 2 Hair and writing assignments about how they would feel if the Cat in the Hat came to their houses. Third grade is using an illustrated Horton Hears a Who chart to learn to distinguish nouns, verbs and adjectives throughout Dr. Seuss stories. They also decorated plants as Loraxes for their science class as they watch the growth process.

In the high school, the junior U.S. History class completed its 1920s radio program project on Friday.

The class was divided into five groups and assigned to research a specific social aspect from the Roaring Twenties such as sports, politics, economy, advertising, entertainment and fashion. As a group, they then presented their information to an audience in the form of a radio segment. Junior Clay Coombs said this project was “pretty cool because it is different, and we get really involved.

It helped us see that society was a lot different back then.”

BEAUTY, FROM PAGE C1 Head identifies with her character in that she thinks she “could probably love someone who’s not physically attractive, but only if he was good inside.”

Like all fairy tales, “Beauty and the Beast” has a good moral, she said.

Bultman said, “The greatest lesson that the play teaches is that if we are willing to dream, our dreams may one day come true. The universal message of love and hope gives stories like Cinderella, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and this one longevity.”

In addition to Johnson, the crew of “Beauty and the Beast” comprises Michael Bacon, sound; David Shoemaker, lights and set; Sumer Jarvis, props; and Sylvia Pickell, costumes.

“Beauty and the Beast” is sponsored by Dr, Alexa McClary, DVM and Palmetto Veterinary Clinic.

His brother John Francis Bradford was graduated from the University of South Carolina with a degree in business administration on May 29. He will enter law school at the university in September. Both are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Theron Bradford.

• Nothing could be better for the local American Legion folks than tonight’s natural pairing for the early League 3 lead with unbeaten Olanta and Sumter vying at Riley Park at 8 o’clock. Olanta whipped Timmonsville 5-4 in eight innings last night to take its initial start. Meanwhile, Sumter was downing Turbeville 7-0 in a regulation 7-inning game at Turbeville.

This put Olanta and Sumter in a tie for the loop lead. Tonight’s local opener will offer special attractions such as Mayor R.E. Graham throwing out the first ball, and Dr. Wyman Morris singing the Star Spangled Banner.

• Sumter Jaycees awarded a plaque and $175 scholarship to Mrs. Shirley Patterson, named Sumter’s Outstanding Young Educator of 1964-65 at the Jaycees’ Ladies Night program last Thursday. Chosen by a panel of judges from the School of Education of the University of South Carolina, Mrs. Patterson was judged in categories of personal back-to-profession contributions, community, state and nation.

Nominations for the award were made by the Sumter schools through the Jaycees.

• Members of the mid-state stock car racing fraternity are looking forward to this weekend, hoping action on the three tracks (Edmund, Orangeburg and Sumter) will go as smoothly as it did last weekend. The Sumter race Saturday night produced one of the best shows of the season so far. Billy Baker, the popular veteran driver from New Zion, warmed up the onlookers with the spirited driving he demonstrated at the wheel of Don Hydrick’s No. 15 car from Kingstree. Baker got off to a not-so-good start, well back in the pack. But through hard driving he eventually chased down leader H.C. Pritchard of Sumter and made numerous attempts to get past him into the lead.

• The Mount Vernon Motor Court announced today a $250,000 expansion program that will add at least 20 new units and a modern restaurant with a banquet room to its present facility. According to Edwin B. Boyle and S.L. Myers, major stockholders of the motor court located at Broad and Washington streets, property adjoining the Mount Vernon on the south fronting on Washington Street and at the head of Warren Street has been purchased to provide space for the expansion.

Setting the cornerstone, which bore the date June 10, 1965, in the wall of the future plant office building were Robert W. Weeks, manager of the local plant, Sumter Mayor R.E. Graham and C.W. Cox, vice president and manager of sales for Daniel Construction, which is erecting the building.

• It was supposed to be close, but Winston Jewell had other ideas. Last night’s Sumter-at-Olanta Legion Junior baseball game should have been a nip-and-tuck affair like all the other recent meetings between the two teams. Traditionally, the local nine and the charges of Coach Buddy Wallace always fight it down to the wire. But yesterday Jewell, Sumter’s diminutive curve ball artist, ignored that longestablished pattern, overcame early control troubles, and nohit the Olantans for five innings before giving up one ground ball, opposite-field single.

25 YEARS AGO – 1990 March 10-15 The city of Sumter’s finance director resigned just over a month after taking the

post when his former employer made a better offer. Wilford Neal, hired by the city Jan. 1, said Friday afternoon that he resigned and returned to Duke Power Co., in Charlotte Feb. 9 to become the company’s director of asset accounting. The Sumter native at first declined to say why he resigned, but later said, “I felt for me it was a better opportunity. When I did quit, they (Duke) made me a better offer.”

• The re-enactment of the historic, 50-mile march from Selma to Montgomery ended Saturday with 3,000 people gathered in the shadow of Alabama’s Capitol to rekindle the spirit of the civil rights movement. The turnout paled in comparison to the 1965 march, when 25,000 people gathered in “the Cradle of the Confederacy” to demand voting rights, but organizers hoped the 1990 trek would herald a new age of activism.

• The 1990 Striped Bass Festival will hold special meaning for Clarendon County this year, as it comes six months and a day after Hurricane Hugo

ripped through the county.

Also unique to this year’s celebration is the 100th birthday party for the town of Summerton. The festival begins the weekend of March 23-25 with the Santee Bowhunters Club hosting their annual Southeastern Triple Crown at the Clarendon County Teen Center in Manning The event will pit archery experts from across the Southeast in both competition and exhibition matches.

• A restraining order issued last night blocked today’s city election, and black leaders say the ruling is a step toward a single-member district election plan. Manning NAACP President Billie Fleming wants the NAACP and the city to discuss the issue, but Manning’s attorney Billy Coffey said the city has no plans to meet with the NAACP. The temporary restraining order is in effect for 10 days, after which the city could go ahead with its election.

• Sumter City Council spent nearly two hours Monday night talking trash. City Public Works Director Ed Davis held a workshop for

council to discuss recycling and alternatives to the city’s system of picking up residential trash. He proposed that council consider switching to curbside pickup using green 90-gallon rollout containers and automatic rearloading dump trucks – a move he said would save the city money in the long run.

Currently trash is picked up every three working days.

City workers collect trash cans from back yards and empty them in “trains,” which in turn must be dumped into garbage trucks that take the trash to the county landfill. Under the proposal, residential garbage would be picked up once a week and commercial pickup would remain the same.

• Thanks to a 33 mill tax increase imposed by Lee County Council last year, the county had a $136,952 surplus in its general fund after fiscal year 1989, according to an annual audit report. “From an operating standpoint, the county did pretty well,” said Tony Boykin, an accountant with Camden’s Sheheen, Hancock and Godwin accounting firm, as he presented the report to the council at a regular meeting Tuesday morning. “You increased the millage, and that was your saving grace.”

• A residents’ group will meet with business officials tonight to discuss plans to incorporate Cherryvale and Oakland Plantation. The meeting, to be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. in the cafeteria of Oakland Elementary School, will be conducted by the recently formed Committee for the Incorporation of Oakvale, the name temporarily given to the planned city.

The school is located on Oakland Plantation Road, just off S.C. 441 behind Shaw Air Force Base.

THE SUMTER ITEM

Motorists endured long waits, lines in oil crisis

T

his issue of Reflections focuses on the world’s energy crisis that occurred primarily in the major industrial countries during the 1970s. The cost

and availability of gasoline had a devastating effect on most Americans during this time. Documents and photos from The Sumter Item archives and data from Wikipedia Encyclopedia were used in preparing this article.

The shortage of gasoline had a profound impact on the American consumer during 1973-74 and 1979. Sumter Item photographers took photos of the gas lines that spread out across the city and helped record the impact this world crisis had on our local residents.

Sammy Way According to Wikipedia “the crisis led to stagnant economic growth in many countries REFLECTIONS as oil prices climbed. Though there were genuine concerns with supply, part of the run-up in prices resulted from the perception of a crisis. The combination of stagnant growth and price inflation during this era led to the coinage of the term “stagflation.” … By the 1980s both the recession of 1970s and adjustments in local economies to become more efficient in petroleum usage controlled demand sufficiently enough for petroleum prices worldwide to return to more sustainable levels.”

Many Sumterites still recall the long lines, “the odd and even days” and purchasing smaller more fuel-efficient automobiles.

Perhaps some of the most remembered moments of this crisis were the friendships made between fellow drivers and station owners, in addition to the realization of just how vulnerable the consumer is to changes in the world economy.

After waiting patiently in long lines, this Model A finally gets fed.

TOP OF PAGE: Lines of Sumter motorists waiting to buy gas extended for blocks during the height of the oil crisis.

ABOVE: The wait to buy gas was so long, many motorists’ tanks went dry before they reached the pumps.

Gas might have been cheap compared to today, but your money was no good if you couldn’t get to the pump.

The Interstate station at Liberty Street and Lafayette Boulevard was constantly busy with anxious motorists lining up for a chance to buy some gas.

Not only was gas in short supply, but prices also doubled to about 65 cents a gallon at some stations in the county, and motorists had to limit the amount they purchased. At one point, the ability to buy gas was based on whether the number on your license plate was odd or even.

Joe Pressley of Asheville, North Carolina and his family try to keep a good attitude while waiting to get their car gassed up. During the oil crisis in the mid-1970s, long lines at gas stations were common.

A lecture series and reception will be held Friday in the University Gallery for those who would like to meet the artist. The University Gallery is in the Anderson Library at the center of the campus. This event is free and open to all.

INQUIRY-BASED TEACHING IN THE COLLEGE CLASSROOM USC Sumter hosts a monthly seminar series featuring faculty members and various topics. On Friday at noon in Schwartz 127, Professor Dan Kiernan will discuss inquirybased teaching. Inquiry-based learning is primarily a pedagogical method, developed during the discovery learning movement of the 1960s as a response to traditional forms of instruction, where people were required to memorize information from instructional materials.

Inquiry-based learning, on the other hand, is based on testing various questions with experiments, comprehending science based on personal or experimental evidence. Kiernan will discuss his findings on the question: Does a science curriculum that is inquiry based versus a science curriculum that is more traditional based produce more positive academic results in nontraditional, non-science major, college students? This event is free and open to all.

FIRE ANT DANCE PARTY On Friday, USC Sumter Athletics will host a Fire Ant Dance party for USC Sumter students and their guests. The event will be held in Nettles Gym from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. with entertainment by DJ Howie “D.” Admission is $5 each, and tickets will be sold at the door.

THE SUMTER ITEM

St. Patrick’s Day invites discussion of true Shamrock

BY JOHN NELSON Curator, USC Herbarium My hometown, Columbia, was discovered and originally inhabited by a group of brave Irish explorers, who, after a perilous oceanic crossing, sailed up the mighty Santee River until it got so rocky that they had to disembark on the banks of the Congaree River.

There they lived and prospered, establishing a ceremonial portion of town called “Five Points,” and there they began a tradition of celebrating the life and exploits of their beloved St. Patrick.

On St. Patrick’s Day, great quantities of good food and strong drink were had and much merriment ensued. This tradition has occurred up until now, when the presentday residents of Columbia swarm out of their homes, dressed all in green and wearing shamrocks, and, laughing and singing, march toward Five Points down Devine Street.

OK, I’m being silly.

St. Patrick’s Day is a good time to consider the identity of the Irish “shamrock.”

There has been, in fact, considerable controversy as to the correct identity of this plant. Two entirely different kinds of plants — genera actually — are involved. The reasons that these two genera are involved in this controversy is that both have very similar leaves, and more specifically, leaves with three leaflets, and that both genera occur as native species in Ireland, and would have been around at the time that the legend of St. Patrick began.

The genus Oxalis consists of several species, all of which have star-shaped flowers with five petals. These plants are commonly called “sorrels.” Different sorrel species usually form clumplike growths, and if chewed, will have a sharp, sour taste.

A lot of sorrels are weedy, and there are some very attractive ones that are cultivated. At least one of these has deep purple leaves, and is sold as a “Shamrock.” But the true “Shamrock” is not a species of Oxalis. Rather it is a species in the genus Trifolium, a low-growing member of the bean family.

There are many species of Trifolium, and they, too, bear leaves with three leaflets. The common name for the different species in this genus is “clover.” And yes, this is where the term “four-leaf clover” comes in: Every now and then, with clovers, which typically grow not so much in clumps, but in spreading patches, you’ll find some growth anomalies that have led to four leaflets being produced. The same thing can occasionally happen with sorrel.

Clover flowers are smaller than those of sorrels, and their shape is quite different: not so much star-shaped as “sweet-pea” flower-shaped.

Clovers don’t have that sour taste, either.

Maybe it doesn’t make too much difference if your shamrock is actually a sorrel. After all, St. Patrick’s Day is more commonly a day of welcoming spring and having fun, rather than discoursing on botanical systematics. But there is one thing you should realize:

Exhibition explores Kahlo-River interplay

Museum offers S.C. Muzzleloader Show

BY JEFF KAROUB Associated Press Writer

FROM STAFF REPORTS

DETROIT — The work of Mexican artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo often seems a study in contrasts — he opts for the big and global, she the smaller and personal.

Yet the two were sharing ideas and “responding to each other artistically,” said Mark Rosenthal, curator of “Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo in Detroit” at the Detroit Institute of Arts.

The exhibit, featuring about 65 artworks, is the first to focus on the couple’s pivotal and productive year in the city during the 1930s — and dives deeply into both the juxtaposition and interplay of their art.

Rivera, who was commissioned to create the “Detroit Industry” murals that grace the museum’s walls, was enamored of industry and the power it could put in the hands of workers. Kahlo had painted in Mexico but was still largely “unknown and unnoticed,” Rosenthal said.

“Diego was telling her, ‘You oughta paint, you should paint your life,’” Rosenthal said on Tuesday. “In Detroit, she started to make very personal paintings that would typify her future career and really lead her in the direction for which she became so famous.”

Shortly after arriving in Detroit in 1932, Kahlo suffered a miscarriage — an ordeal illustrated in her painting, “Henry Ford Hospital,” in which she lies in blood on a bed marked with the hospital’s name. It also features a foreboding industrial scene in the background and images connected to her by umbilical cords.

Rivera, a communist, nonetheless saw the

efficiency in Ford’s Rouge factory — something Kahlo didn’t experience in the hospital bearing his name, Rosenthal said.

“This was really significant because Diego thought so much of Henry Ford, and she wasn’t so sure,” he said.

Rosenthal said Kahlo’s tragedy led to a change in Rivera’s storied mural: A farm scene that depicted the work going on in Detroit and Michigan before the rise of industry was moved and an embryonic baby became a centerpiece.

The exhibit also includes Rivera’s conceptual drawings for the mural and other selfportraits by Kahlo, including the so-called Marriage Portrait and “Self-Portrait on the Borderline between Mexico and the United States.”

Diego Rivera’s grandson, Juan Coronel Rivera — an adviser, lender and essayist for the exhibit — said it’s gratifying that the exhibit goes beyond artwork and explores the relationship of the artists.

That was strengthened by a trove of unpublished letters from the artists’ archive that Juan Coronel Rivera unearthed.

Diego Rivera wrote them to Kahlo over a three-week period while she was visiting her ailing mother in Mexico and they cover “everything,” the grandson says, from what parts of the mural he was working on to more mundane details like whether he showered.

“I like to see the things that Frida and Diego were developing and how they really connect,” Juan Coronel Rivera said. “They were working together in ideas.”

“These guns and accoutrements bring together history, art and technology,” said State Museum curator of history JoAnn Zeise.

Muzzleloading weapons come in a variety of sizes and types and can be either smoothbore or rifled. Their lineage dates back to the earliest guns and cannons of the 15th century, and they continue to be a popular choice for gun enthusiasts.

The South Carolina Muzzleloader Conference, Show and Sale is included with museum general admission or membership. Visit scmuseum.org for more information.

A home is seen for sale in Charlotte on Jan. 8. You’ll have to do your homework if you want the best home loan rate possible.

Good credit, mortgage comparison shopping will keep costs down

BY ALEX VEIGA AP Business Writer Mortgage interest rates have hovered near historic lows in recent years, but change may be on the horizon.

The Federal Reserve is considering increasing the short-term interest rate it controls as early as June.

That could send mortgage rates moving higher again.

For now, rates remain homebuyer-friendly. The national average rate for a 30-year, fixed mortgage fell to 3.75 percent last week. It was 4.28 percent a year ago.

Landing the most affordable mortgage depends on more than getting the lowest rate. The rate borrowers qualify for hinges on several factors, including their finances, credit score and the size of the down payment they’re prepared to make. And the type of loan and the fees that come with it also determine the overall cost of a mortgage.

Here are some tips on how to get the best deal on a mortgage:

1. SIZE UP YOUR CREDIT Mortgage lenders consider three key factors to determine what rate they can offer a borrower: Good credit, proof of income and size of the down payment. Strength in one category can offset a deficiency in another, but having a FICO score of 740 or better out of 850 will generally qualify borrowers for the lowest mortgage rate.

You can qualify for a home loan with a lower credit score, but you’ll pay a higher interest rate.

If your FICO is below 740, review copies of your credit files for errors that may be weighing down your

score. Consumers are entitled to a free credit report every 12 months from the three major credit-reporting firms — Equifax, TransUnion and Experian. Go to Annualcreditreport.com.

The credit firms are required to respond to error disputes within 30 days, so it pays to do this well in advance of when you intend to buy a home. Think at least six to eight weeks.

The ratio between available credit and how much debt you’re carrying is another key element of the FICO score. A good rule of thumb is to keep debt at less than half of your available credit.

2. SHOP AROUND Before you begin your home search, ask a lender to assess how much you can borrow. The lender will conduct a thorough credit and income review and issue you a preapproval letter, which will give a seller solid indication of what you can spend.

But don’t necessarily go with the loan terms the lender is offering.

This is a good time to do some comparison shopping for more favorable mortgage deals.

Websites such as Bankrate.com, LendingTree.com and Zillow.com offer a quick way to get a flavor for the kind of offers that may be available. Also check whether your current bank or credit union offers a better deal because you have an account there.

Make sure you’re comparing the same loan types, too.

When you go fishing for rate quotes, do it on the same day. That’s essential for a proper side-by-side comparison, as rates can change day to day, altering what’s available.

3. KEEP AN EYE ON FEES When you comparison shop for a mortgage focus on the annualized percentage rate, or APR. That includes the interest rate, which is the cost of borrowing the money, as well as closing costs and additional fees charged by the lender.

Mortgage lenders charge fees for the mortgage broker’s services, credit reports, a home appraisal and title insurance, among other costs. These are included in the “good faith estimate,” a form that lenders are required to provide.

Keep in mind that these fees can change until your interest rate is locked in. That’s when the lender agrees to set the rate and fees for your loan at the levels they will be when you complete the transaction.

4. NEGOTIATE The various fees that lenders charge on top of the interest rate may offer you some room to negotiate a better deal, especially if you have comparable rate quotes from other lenders.

Once you negotiate a reduction in those fees, they are locked in along with the interest rate, which means you’ll know exactly how much your loan will cost you.

You won’t be able to negotiate a better deal on some of the other costs, including third-party fees such as the appraisal, title search and taxes, however.

Some lenders itemize various fees. Others may aggregate everything under one or two fees and call it an origination fee. That’s one reason it’s important to have more than one good-faith estimate when comparing offers.

Viral hits can transform small businesses NEW YORK (AP) — Fifteen minutes of Internet fame can create long-term riches for a small business.

Whether it’s a photo that gets shared on social media such as the recent controversy about the color of #TheDress or a funny review that gets passed around, sales of products that go viral often skyrocket. And although the sellers struggle at first to deal with the extra attention and demand, the sudden celebrity can boost busi-

ness for years to come.

During the course of a few days, the debate about whether a dress sold by Roman Originals, a U.K. clothing-store chain, was blue and black or white and gold stirred social networks and led to a frenzy that extended to traditional media. Sales of the frock are up 600 percent since the end of February.

Going viral can make such a difference that some companies look for advice on how to make it happen.

to purchase an item if their friend is sharing it online, said Devra Prywes, vice president of marketing at Unruly, a company that advises brands on how to create viral videos. “It’s also free advertising.”

The Cronut’s rise from sweet, flaky creation to household name began in 2013. The mashup of a croissant and doughnut was written up and photographed by food blog Grub Street. It quickly spread online and beyond.

“By the end of the first

week, we had over 100 people in line,” chef Dominique Ansel said.

At its peak of popularity, 300 people waited outside the Dominique Ansel Bakery in New York daily.

A guard was hired to manage the line, which has shrunk back down to about 100 people. These days, waiting customers are treated to free hot chocolate and madeleines, a bite-sized buttery cake.

“The Cronut became a way for us to introduce customers to our other products,” Ansel said.

THE SUMTER ITEM

Call the newsroom at: (803) 774-1226 | E-mail: pressrelease@theitem.com

Disastrous 1st outing good preparation for next

I

don’t know; maybe it’s the fact that I’m getting older, maybe it’s just Murphy’s Law, perhaps it’s poor planning or just plain bad luck, but whatever it is, I hope I’m past it now.

It always seems to pop its ugly head up when I make the first fishing trip of the year, which was last weekend. My cousin, “Cuz,” called me last Friday night and asked if I’d like to head up to Lake Wateree the next afternoon and do some crappie fishing. I do love a crappie fillet, and I enjoy catching the big, old, flat fish, so I was all in for the trip.

It went bad from the very start.

First, his boat had not been cranked all year, so could I take mine? No problem, I had run mine the weekend before and had absolutely no problems after I got it cranked up the first time. Sure, we’ll use my boat.

Second, could I be there about 2 o’clock in the afternoon? Again, no problem; I had no other plans, so 2 would be perfect.

I spent the morning hours splitting oak firewood the old-

fashioned way, with a splitting ax, so I was worn out and ready to take a break by 2.

The text came around Earle 1 p.m.: “LookWoodward ing like closAFIELD & er to 2:302:45.” OK. AFLOAT The next text said, “Better make it 3.”

I was at his house at 3. His wife, “Cuzette,” and I had a great visit until he got there about 3:30.

So we were on the road about 3:45 and headed to a friend’s lake house to launch the boat. We would pick up the bait at a little bait store just before we turned to go into his house.

That was a really good plan, but because we don’t live up that way, we didn’t know that the bait store was closed and locked up tighter than a drum. Where, oh where, to get a couple of dozen minnows?

We popped into a public boat landing and found a game warden checking fish limits and boats. Realizing

that game wardens are on the lake more than probably any other human beings in Kershaw County, we asked him where we could buy some minnows. The answer was not the one for which we were looking.

Yes, you could purchase bait, he said, but the closest place was on the other side of the lake. OK, I can do that; now, is it faster to drive over there, or boat over there? We opted for the boat.

Down the lake we went, crossed over, drove to the back of the cove where the landing was and Cuz jumped out. He came back a few minutes later with the minnow bucket firmly tucked up under his arm. They were out of minnows.

There was good news, however. The landing just three coves back did have some minnows, so off we went again.

Yes sir, they did have some minnows and when we opened the bucket to pull one out to put it on the hook, it was almost an inch long. I was afraid the hook would put an end to the fish immediately instead of waiting on a crappie to do the job.

Anyway, we went to one of Cuz’s go-to spots, a creek bed running about 20 feet down and rimmed with structure.

The wind was blowing us so that we’d get to drift the creek and fish the structure. However, I hadn’t brought the graph recorder and there was no way to tell where the creek was, or if we were over it at all.

Anyway, the first bait went into the water about 5:45. We had about 45 minutes to fish.

We drifted where we thought the ditch was but didn’t have a single bite. We moved on back to the cove where we launched the boat to see if any fish had gathered around a submerged brush pile but never actually got to the brush pile.

While casting to a pier on the way in, I hung up, and in the process of freeing my line, I created one heck of a tangled mess. I put that rod down and picked up another one that had a jig on it and began to cast.

The sun had set, and with all the law enforcement activity we’d seen that afternoon, I thought it prudent to go ahead and plug in the running lights, which did not

come on.

What? There was no power going to the switch, which I had just shut off two days ago because I saw that the little, red indicator light was on. I knew it was getting power then, so what else could go wrong today?

I tried what I could but couldn’t get them to come on. Since we were right at the truck, we put the boat on the trailer and came home before anything else happened.

You know, it’s kind of like that when you go out for the first time each year, especially to a spot you haven’t been before. I’ve taken care of fixing the lights now; it was just a loose connection, and I know right where to put my hands on my graph recorder, so next trip we’ll have it.

We also know to launch on the other side of the lake in order to get minnows or buy them before we leave Sumter.

I don’t know how to get Cuz to be ready at the set time.

He’s 50 years old, and I haven’t gotten him to look at a clock yet, but there’s still hope.

Southern Appalachian rivers a prime muskellunge fishery Every couple of years, an angler will make the outdoor news by catching a muskellunge in South Carolina waters — usually from the upper stretches of the Broad River.

Often confused with northern pike, a northern game fish not native to South Carolina, or a pickerel, a nongame fish species which is native here, muskellunge are the largest member of the pike family and most commonly associated with northern United States and Canadian waters. What few anglers realize is that a thriving population of muskies abound just across the North Carolina state line.

Muskellunge were native to the southern Appalachians and specifically to the French Broad River until a major chemical spill in the 1940s cleaned the river of muskies and nearly every other species of fish.

Over time, particularly after passage of the federal Clean Water Act in 1972, the French Broad recovered. In the early 1970s, the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission began to stock muskies in the river. Another strong advocate of the fish and the

fishery is the Western North Carolina Muskie Club, a long-established fishing club that both educates the public on successful catch-and-release muskie fishing and assists with stocking efforts by the NCWRC. Neal Osteen, a member of the WNC Muskie Club, is a plumber from Hendersonville, North Carolina, who moonlights as a muskie fishing guide.

Osteen caught the muskie bug from an uncle who grew up fishing 438-acre Lake Adger, a residential lake east of Hendersonville, that supports a viable population of stocked muskies and currently hosts the state-record fish, a 41-pound, 8-ounce monster, caught by Richard W. Dodd in 2001.

According to Osteen, the heart of muskellunge territory in the French Broad River runs through Henderson and Transylvania counties just across the state line from Greenville County.

Osteen regularly fishes the French Broad and claims it’s as good a muskie fishery as any place in the country.

“I learned to catch muskie up north, making trips to Minnesota and Wisconsin, but I think we have a better

fishery here in Lake Adger and the French Broad River,” Osteen said.

“Our fish grow all season long because our waters don’t freeze up like they do up north, so our fish feed year round. We also don’t have any closed season, since our rivers and lakes stay open; we can fish for muskie year round instead of just six months out of the year.”

Osteen approaches muskie fishing with two methods — fly-fishing large streamers and poppers or bait-casting to fish with heavy duty 8½-foot rods spooled with 60-pound braided line and 100-pound fluorocarbon leaders.

Muskies get big in the French Broad: fish 40 to 45 inches and 30-plus pounds are common. Muskies also come equipped with large, sharp teeth, earning them the name “water wolves.”

Osteen deems it a good day when he gets a couple of follows from large muskie, which are notorious for hiding under shoreline cover and submarining large baits. A better day is getting one to bite.

He frequently gets fish to follow a

bait all the way to his boat and then tries to entice a strike by waving the rod in a figure-eight to tease the bait in front of the fish’s nose. Earlier this month, he caught his personal best muskie — a 51-incher that nearly topped the state record — after getting three up-close follows from the same fish.

“The trick turned out to be throwing a big soft plastic bait called a Bulldawg, on the second cast,” Osteen said. “I ripped it hard through the water, and she finally ate it.”

Though he estimated the fish’s weight at nearly 40 pounds, Osteen said he would never kill any muskie, even to get his name in the record books.

“I’m all about CPR — catch, photo, and release,” he said. “This is a beautiful but fragile fishery, and these fish belong back in the water.”

FISHING REPORTS Santee Cooper System Catfish: Slow to fair. Captain Jim Glenn reports that catfishing essentially remains slow recently, and winds and weather have limited fishing on the lakes. However, as expected during the winter season some big fish have been caught. For now catfish can be found both deep and shallow, with anchoring the best bet for success. Also try fishing for cats around suspended bait in deep water, or in wind-blown shallow areas.

Catfish (and striper) may be keying on stressed or dying threadfin shad, and gulls will be feeding on dying shad across the system. When they are found in shallow water wading birds will be picking up shad on the surface. Catfish will rise to the surface to feed on these same baitfish, and even when this happens over deeper water fishing right under the surface can be effective. Note that mid-day fishing can be strong.

Largemouth bass: Very tough. Anglers report great difficulty getting bites on Santee Cooper, and many locals are fishing on the Cooper River instead of in the lakes. Soon the bite will turn on but for now the best bet is fishing plastic worms in the backs of creeks around drops that are near spawning areas (where fish are staging).

Lake Murray Crappie: Slow to fair. Captain Brad Taylor reports that fish are still pretty deep and they are oriented in the channel and at the mouths of creeks in 16-20 feet of water. However, recent rains have brought a lot of muddy water into the lake and Taylor expects that to push fish shallower, as will seasonal pressure the fish feel to spawn. The next move he expects is for fish to move vertically up the water

column; they probably won’t move toward the banks for another couple of weeks. Right now tight-lining with minnows is the most popular technique although trolling will soon come on. Largemouth bass: Slow to fair. Veteran tournament angler Captain Doug Lown reports that some anglers continue to catch big bags in recent tournaments, but a lot of very good fishermen are also struggling to get bites. Use Alabama rigs, jigs, crankbaits and jigging spoons, with successful anglers doing everything from throwing Alabama rigs and crankbaits at rocky points to fishing jigs around docks to jigging spoons around deep ledges. Overall right now the best bite is coming first thing when bass are feeding on bait, although as the spring progresses there should be more activity later in the day. Everything is running two to three weeks behind right now with water temperatures still very cold.

Lake Wateree Largemouth Bass: Slow to fair.

Tournament angler Dearal Rodgers reports that bass fishing remains pretty tough on Lake Wateree, although a few very skilled anglers are able to catch 20plus pound bags in local tournaments.

Fish are still primarily in a winter pattern, and numbers of fish remain out in deeper water (although the most catchable fish may be around shallow cover already). The hope is that warmer temperatures will push more fish shallow to feed and stage for the spawn.

Look for jigs, crankbaits and spinnerbaits to continue to be the dominant lure choices, and look for fish to be concentrated in the main lake until warmer temperatures allow them to

spread out more.

Lake Greenwood Catfish: Fair. Captain Chris Simpson reports that the bite remains fair and catfish are being caught by drifting in, along and across the river channels.

Herring and shad are the best baits right now. In the next couple of weeks look for fish to start moving onto and scattering across shallow flats as the water starts to warm and baitfish start to move into these areas; when that happens the fishing should take a turn for the better.

Lake Monticello Catfish: Fair to good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that the big fish bite remains very up and down, with slow to fair fishing one day and then the next day can be very good. The most consistent pattern seems to be anchoring on the deep side of points and humps and fan casting baits in 40-70 feet of water. Fishing around large schools of baitfish can sometimes pay off and watching the diving loons can help you cut the search for that down.

Shad, herring and white perch are all working well. Small pieces are working better because the bulk of what the fish are feeding on is small 2- to 4-inch threadfin and gizzard shad.

Lake Russell Catfish: Slow to fair. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that catfish can be caught by anglers who target them, although the action is a bit slower with the colder temperatures. Fish cut herring on the bottom in 40-50 feet of water around the large schools of shad. Crappie: Slow to fair. Wilson reports that this remains a relatively slow period for crappie, but the fish are holding just off the bottom in

about 35 feet of water. Fish may be around brush but they are mainly relating to the channels at that depth.

Target crappie with a drop shot rig and minnow.

Lake Thurmond Crappie: Fair. Captain William Sasser reports that crappie are trying to move up shallow right now as they are focused on spawning. When water temperatures drop a few more degrees they will be able to, but for now they are staged up in the backs of creeks 5 or 6 feet down over 10 feet of water. Sasser’s boat has caught some big crappie on minnows.

Lake Wylie Largemouth Bass: Good. FLW Professional and Guide Matt Arey reports that the Alabama Rig remains pretty dominant on Lake Wylie, and a significant shad die-off has made it even stronger, although jerkbaits have also been working. Bass remain grouped up around channel swings, points and at the mouths of creeks, and deeper docks continue to be a factor. Fish are primarily being caught on the main lake, with the best bags coming down the lake in deeper water but numbers of fish being caught above the bridges. Mostly smaller fish are being caught in the hot holes.

Lake Jocassee Bass: Slow to fair. Jocassee Outdoor Center recommends fishing stick-bait style plugs in 12-18 feet of water. In a few weeks bass will start to move up, but for now they are still out in deep water.

Lake Keowee Largemouth and Spotted Bass: Fair.

Guide Brad Fowler reports that fish remain in a winter pattern - although that will change very soon. Fish continue to be caught in a range from about

30-70 feet of water, with the 40-60 foot range the most productive. The main pattern is drop shotting or doodling worms around depth changes, including channels, the sides of humps, deep points, and underwater roadbeds chiefly on the main lake. Spot Removers and Football Mop Jigs will also catch fish. After a few more warm days fish will start to move off the main lake and into the creeks, staging in preparation for the spawn. Fish will be feeding heavily in creek mouths and pockets, and they will be caught on a variety of shad imitating lures include jerkbaits, blade runners, scrounger heads and crankbaits.

Lake Hartwell Black bass: Feast or famine. Guide Brad Fowler reports that it is hard to catch bass on Lake Hartwell. For now fish remain in winter mode, and the best pattern remains fishing in 35-50 feet of water around depth changes including drops, creek channels and ditches, particularly around the old timber line.

Football jigs, spoons, drop shot rigs, and headspin baits rigged with flukes are all working. After a few more warm days fish will start to move off the main lake and into the creeks, staging in preparation for the spawn. Fish will be feeding heavily in creek mouths and pockets, and they will be caught on a variety of shad-imitating lures include jerkbaits, blade runners, scrounger heads and crankbaits. Places that funnel towards spawning areas may have the most fish, but fish will be spread out in the creeks. Crappie: Very slow. Captain Bill Plumley reports that crappie fishing remains very tough. If anglers want to pursue crappie they should look over brush in 25-30 feet of water and use minnows - or fish a different lake!

Qualifying agencies are urged to apply.

Public or private voluntary agencies interested in applying for Emergency Food and Shelter Program funds must contact the United Way in Sumter (773-7935), for an application. The deadline for Application's to be received is March 23, 2015.
