BBQ for Boy Scouts raises more than $6K BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com Henry Shelor District of the Boy Scouts of America raised a little more than $6,000 for the Pee Dee Area Council during the 5th Annual Benefit BBQ for Boy Scouts competition on Saturday. The Henry Shelor District includes Sumter, Clarendon and Lee counties, and the money raised during the weekend will go toward Boy Scouts summer camp and the winter and fall “camporees”. Glenn Button, co-chairman of the barbecue event, said five out of the 14 teams that competed this year are from Sumter. He said other teams traveled from all across the state, including Rock Hill, Greenville, Anderson and Lake City. Button said there was a pretty good crowd during the events on Friday and Saturday, despite competing for attention with local sporting events. He said the local Boy Scouts troops were given a good deal of support from the community and received about $4,000 from sponsors. Button said two new vendors had been added to Saturdays competition, a mechanical bull and Snowie’s snow cones. He said a portion of the proceeds from both vendors will go to the Boy Scouts. There was also a car show at Saturday’s

Remembrance benefits Disabled American Veterans BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com Sumter High School’s Air Force Junior ROTC program will host its annual Bataan Death March Remembrance on Friday and Saturday outside the school, with all proceeds going toward the local chapter of the Disabled American Veterans organization. On April 9, 1942, in the middle of World War II, after a threemonth Battle of Bataan in the Philippines, 80,000 Filipino and American prisoners of war were forced to march to an internment camp some 60 miles away. The Japanese Imperial Army forced the men to march with very little food or water and at times severe physical abuse. The incident was later judged by an Allied military commission to

be a Japanese war crime and became known as the Bataan Death March. About 10,000 men, 1,000 American and 9,000 Filipino, died during the march, according to www.bataanmuseum.com. Those who survived the march would spend as long as 40 months in horrific conditions in confinement camps. Sumter native Steve Barwick studied under a college professor, the late Luther Dewitte Bass, at South Georgia Junior College in Douglas, Georgia, who survived the march. Bass was subsequently imprisoned for more than three years and seven months. Bass made an American flag from parachutes carrying food and clothing that a B-29 bomber dropped on the camp on Aug. 26, 1945. In 1973, that flag was donated to the Truman Library in

Independence, Missouri. “Twenty-three years later, during my first days of college, I became his student, and he became my mentor,” Barwick said. “Mr. Bass turned my world.” Barwick said Bass never talked about his experience of being in the Bataan Death March, although all the students at the college knew about it. “I think today I appreciate even more his service and the sacrifices he made for our country,” Barwick said. “He was a very mild-mannered man who would go the extra mile for his students.” Barwick went on to serve in the Army himself, from 1967 to 1969. He served as an accountant and chief financial officer for Sumter Utilities for many years. About 70 cadets from Sumter

Descendant of slave who stole rebel ship named museum head BY BRUCE SMITH The Associated Press CHARLESTON — The great-great-grandson of a slave who commandeered a Confederate ship and took it to Union forces blockading the South Carolina coast is the new president and CEO of the planned $75 million International African American Museum in Charleston.

Museum officials announced on Friday that Atlanta businessman Michael Boulware Moore, who has deep family roots in South Carolina, will head the museum, which officials hope will open in late 2018. Moore is a direct descendant of Robert Smalls, who made history by commandeering the steamboat Planter in 1862. Smalls later went on to

become a South Carolina congressman during the Reconstruction era after the Civil War. The announcement was made at the planned site of the museum, the location of a former wharf on the Cooper River where tens of thousands of slaves first set foot in the United States.

Only 1 files for 3 seats on Clarendon 3 school board BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com TURBEVILLE — Clarendon School District 3 will hold elections to fill three of its seats on Tuesday. Only one person has filed to run, however, according to the Clarendon County Voter Registration office. Jason Newsome will be running for re-election for the District 6 seat. No one has filed for District 7 seat, held by chairman Dr. George Green, who is retiring after serving for 21 years, as well as the seat of District 2, currently held by Norma Reardon. A write-in option for all three seats is allowed, according to Princess Lang, deputy director of Clarendon County Voter Registration. Green said he has enjoyed serving on the board, and wants to give a chance for the next generation to step up and serve. Green, a Turbeville native, and a dentist in the town for 39 years, said he is most proud of the good academic standards the district’s two schools have been able to uphold, despite a very difficult budget. “That credit goes to the administration and teachers who wear many different hats to keep the schools a success,” he said. One of the major completed projects under Green’s term include the construction of a new middle school building. Today the middle school and high school are under one administration as East Clarendon Middle-High School. The election will be held Tuesday with polls open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Concert will raise money to help restore flood-damaged church BY IVY MOORE ivy@theitem.com The October 2015 flood did extensive damage to the furnishings of Bishop Larry Carter’s World End Time Harvest Ministry, which was not eligible for federal assistance. To raise money for restoration, Carter will present a concert fundraiser at 4 p.m. Sunday, March 13, in Patriot Hall. Comedian Shuler King, a Sumter native, will serve as master of ceremonies. He has performed extensively at such venues as Comedy House in Columbia; Broadway Comedy Club in New York City; Laugh Unlimited in Sacramento, California; and with other comedians Michael Colyar, J. Anthony Brown, Pierre Edwards and Rodney Perry. In February, he recorded his show at the Sumter Opera House for a movie. Featured performers include Miss Libby’s School of Dance, the Lemira Lions Golden Steppers, the Lemira Percussion Ensemble, The Abrams Singers, Alfonzo Udell & Chosen, Freda Satterwaite, Forever Praise, Samoria Sessions, Sherylann Bragton and Carter himself. Dancers from Miss Libby’s School of Dance will perform their own choreography set to Carter’s songs while they are being sung on stage. Spirit Filled Mimes will also perform. The ministry of the World End Time Harvest Church produces and supports missions throughout the country and around the world, including in Haiti, Ghana and many areas of India.

no federal or state financial assistance to aid with repairs. Mold and mildew have damaged the floors, carpets, walls, ceilings, pulpit furniture, pews and office furniture.” Damage, estimated at $15,000 to $25,000, also affected musical instruments,

public announcement equipment, outlets and power supplies, which in turn has seriously curtailed services and counseling, Carter said. World End Time Harvest Ministry presents “Ain’t No Stopping Us Now” at 4 p.m. Sunday, March 13, at Patriot Hall, 135 Haynsworth St. Tickets are $10 in advance, available at SEACO Music, DJ Al’s Music Store and Imports LTD.

Clemson could temporarily oversee school for troubled teens BY SEANNA ADCOX The Associated Press COLUMBIA — Legislators could put Clemson University in charge of a public residential school for troubled teens that is on the verge of losing its accreditation. A proposal advanced by the House budget-writing committee would transfer oversight of John de la Howe School to the university on July 1, along with funding for the school that spends $92,000 annually per student. Clemson officials would be tasked next school year with evaluating turnaround paths for the sixth-through10th-grade school in rural McCormick and reporting their recommendations. “We believe Clemson has the expertise and background to go in and save that school,” said Rep. Kenny Bingham, R-Cayce, chairman of the com-

mittee’s K-12 panel. “I believe it’s the only way to keep the doors open.” One possibility, he said, would be turning John de la Howe into a public charter school sponsored by Clemson. Both are land-grant schools. John de la Howe was founded as a farming school benefiting poor and orphaned children, as per the 1797 will of its namesake. It has previously collaborated with Clemson on agricultural projects, said its president, Danny Webb. But the proposal’s chances are uncertain. Clemson officials aren’t commenting beyond saying it’s under review. Webb said no one at his school has been consulted at all. “What we will continue to do is serve the state’s most vulnerable students ... until a decision has been made,” he said. “We will continue to provide them a safe haven, so they can heal,

grow and make lasting changes.” Rep. Shannon Erickson, who voted against the idea in committee, said there should be a thorough discussion among all stakeholders, including Department of Juvenile Justice and Department of Social Services, on what it will take to make the school successful. Asking Clemson to study the issue is a waste of time, she said. “Studying it for a year is just kicking the can down the road ... and these are children’s lives at stake,” said Erickson, R-Beaufort, a teacher. State-supported since 1918, John de la Howe provides 24-hour care on its 1,200-acre campus for children with serious behavior problems. The school’s roughly 70 employees include teachers and dorm counselors — one for every eight students, across three shifts, Webb said. As of Thursday, the school housed

72 students, he said. Legislators have questioned what to do with the school, a stand-alone state agency, for more than a decade. In 2003, then-Gov. Mark Sanford recommended, without success, closing the school and sending its students to a military-like public school in West Columbia for at-risk teens. In 2014, Gov. Nikki Haley recommended putting the Department of Juvenile Justice in charge of John de la Howe. Her suggestion followed a critical report from the state’s inspector general, which found the school spends excessively — then at $87,000 per student annually — but doesn’t assess whether it’s successfully turning students’ lives around. Many of the school’s leaders resigned, and the House approved Haley’s one-year takeover proposal. But the Senate refused.

Autopsy: Unclear if Bobbi Kristina Brown’s death was accidental ATLANTA (AP) — An autopsy determined Bobbi Kristina Brown had a mix of drugs in her body when she went underwater in a bathtub, but a medical examiner couldn’t tell whether her death was a homicide, making the criminal investigation tougher. The medical examiner’s report released Friday showed that Brown had morphine, cocaine, alcohol and prescription drugs in her body and came after months of speculation about how she died. The medical examiner’s office said it couldn’t figure out if it was a suicide, a homicide or accidental, so it classified the manner of death as “undetermined.” Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard is investigating whether criminal charges should be brought in Brown’s death but has said very little about the probe. Brown’s estate filed a wrongful death lawsuit against her partner, Nick Gordon, accusing him of giving her a “toxic cocktail” and putting her face down in water. Gordon has not been charged and his attorney said the report should put to rest “all the negativity surrounding” him. “He’s always maintained his innocence,” attorney Randy Kessler said.

Brown, the daughter of singers Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, was found facedown in a bathtub in her suburban Atlanta townhome Jan. 31, 2015. Gordon and a friend were listed on the police report as being in the home when investigators arrived. The wrongful death suit says other people were there when Brown was initially found unresponsive. She was in a coma for six months before dying in hospice care at age 22. Charges could still be brought even though the medical examiner couldn’t declare the death a homicide, said Georgia State University law professor Jessica Gabel Cino, who teaches forensic evidence. She noted prosecutors have succeeded in getting convictions without even having a body. “You’ve got to basically comb through all of the victim’s interactions with the defendant and build this entire sequence of events based upon the medical evidence that is available,” Cino said. The autopsy report had been sealed by a judge at the request of prosecutors, for “public safety and investigative reasons,” Howard said Thursday.

However, two television stations sued for its release and a judge ruled in their favor Thursday. The medical examiner didn’t find really high levels of any drug, and the combination of drugs found in her system is not unusual, said Dr. Paul Wax, a professor of emergency medicine at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center who reviewed the autopsy report at the request of The Associated Press. “She’d used a bunch of drugs, she went into the bath and she basically drowned in the bathtub,” he said. “That’s pretty much all you can tell from this report.” Medical personnel were able to revive her, but she suffered brain damage that left her in a coma, and she ultimately died from pneumonia, the autopsy report says.

ETV Global Health series debuts today

A Snowy Egret eating a snack A Snowy Egret enjoys a minnow recently at Randolph’s Landing in Clarendon County.

FROM STAFF REPORTS The acclaimed public television documentary series Global Health Frontiers expands to a weekly newsmagazine with four one-hour episodes on global health developments. Although filmed primarily in Asia, Africa and Latin America, global is local as the series explores the impact of hot-button health issues central to daily conversation in the United States — GMO foods, “Big Tobacco,” childhood immunization campaigns and more, including insect-borne health challenges coming to a backyard near you. The series premieres in South Carolina at 7 a.m. Sunday, March 6 on ETV World and 7 p.m. Sunday, April 10 on SCETV. Within Global Health Frontiers’ newsmagazine format, the programs feature three separate stories, each a short documentary that follows characters through journeys, trials and tests that define the relentless work of global health today. Viewers will witness the unvarnished truth, the successes and failures and the inspiring tenacity of people who answer the call to meet this century’s defining challenge. “Global Health Frontiers brings television viewers inside the critical work in global health like no other program today,” said Emmy Award-winning veteran news correspondent Gary Strieker, executive producer of the series and former CNN Nairobi bureau chief and global environment correspondent. “Pioneers of prevention and change are making advances against infection and pandemics to make them preventable and treatable, and we report their stories with captivating first-person storytelling.” Working with an advisory panel including eminent experts at the Harvard Global Health Institute, the UCSF Global Health Group, and The Carter Center, Global Health Frontiers’ producers develop stories that represent a broad range of critical global health issues worldwide and assign veteran newsgathering crews to craft first-class reporting for the discerning audience of public television. The launch of this four-part series is preceded on public television by the Global Health Frontiers documentaries Trachoma: Defeating a Blinding Curse; Dark Forest, Black Fly (river blindness); and the award-winning Foul Water, Fiery Serpent (Guinea worm). In the series premiere, “Virus Hunters, Child Immunizations, Island Fever,” Global Health Frontiers looks at global health issues in Asia and the Caribbean with parallels to health issues in the U.S. First, the team travels to southern China with the Eco Health Alliance’s disease ecologist Dr. Peter Daszak to learn how researchers in the U.S. are using computer models similar to those used to track earthquakes to determine “hot spots” of emerging viruses, explore the impact of growing populations and land use changes on farming and livestock practices, and prevent the spread of future epidemics similar to SARS, Ebola and HIV. In India, a profile of the successful childhood vaccine campaign in Moradabad demonstrates how the country made the leap from home to half of the world’s polio cases in 2009 to polio-free in 2011, and what leaders are doing to replicate this effort against seven killer diseases. The final segment brings viewers to St. George’s, Grenada, where healthcare workers battle the prolific Aedes aegypti mosquito, as well as some human resistance, in their efforts to stop the chikungunya virus, which has seen its first U.S. cases in recent years. Future episodes cover topics including Cuban medical care to Haiti, Lyme disease in Connecticut, the use of genetically modified rice to eliminate nutritional deficiencies, “Big Tobacco” activism in the Philippines, clean air efforts in Ghana and saving lives at birth in Guatemala.

Sleep your way to better health

S

leep plays a very important role in promoting and maintaining good health. It is essential for good health and positive well-be-

ing. However, in today’s busy life, many of us are stretched thin working several jobs, taking care of family, volunteering and preparing everything for the next day. Sometimes there just doesn’t seem to be enough time in the day to get everything done. Getting good sleep becomes less of a priority and is replaced with other activities or responsibilities. The quality of your sleep determines a lot of how you will feel the next day. Sleep supports physical health, emotional well-being, proper brain function and quality of life. Adequate sleep allow us to be alert, learn new things, be more patient with others, make better decisions, keep us safe, perform better and stay healthy. Furthermore, it helps repair your heart and blood vessels. According to the National Sleep Foun-

dation, at least 40 million Americans suffer from sleep disorders and about 60 percent of adults and 69 percent of children report trouble with sleep several nights throughout the week. Missy The most common Corrigan side effects of inconsistent sleep patterns or short-term experience with insomnia are inability to concentrate, lack of energy, irritability, moodiness and increase in appetite. The primary cause of this short-term sleep loss is stress. This type of sleep deprivation can add up and lead to chronic sleep deprivation, which causes poor health. Chronic sleep deprivation lowers the immune system which can lead to more serious health related issues such as hypertension, irregular heartbeat and an increase in stress hormones, which can

lead to obesity. Depression, alcohol and drug abuse, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, arthritis or other physical problems can cause chronic sleep disorders where it is hard to fall asleep or even stay asleep. Research shows that those who are most at risk for chronic sleep deprivation are parents, teens, truck drivers, physicians and night shift workers. Everyone’s need for sleep varies. While six to eight hours is recommended for adults, some may need more or less. Listen to your body and watch for the signs mentioned above. If you aren’t sure whether or not you suffer from a sleep disorder, start keeping a journal of your sleep patterns. Document the ease or difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep. Don’t forget to assess how you feel the next day. If you have been sluggish and foggy lately but can’t find any medical reason as the cause, it could be your lack of sleep.

‘Prince of Tides’ author Pat Conroy, 70, dies

Beaufort held a three-day literary festival featuring Conroy and discussions of his work and included a screening of “The Great Santini.� The event culminated with a 70th birthday party in his honor. “The water is wide, and he has now passed over,� his wife, novelist Cassandra Conroy, said in a statement from publisher Doubleday. Nan A. Talese, Conroy’s longtime editor and publisher, said that the late author “will be cherished as one of America’s favorite and bestselling writers, and I will miss him terribly.� Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg, who had known Conroy most of his adult life called him “the great chronicler of the time and place that I call home. He saw it with clarity. He wrote of it with purpose.� Conroy, who sold 20 million books worldwide, candidly and expansively shared details of growing up as a military brat and his anguished relationship with his abusive father, Marine aviator and military hero Donald Conroy. He also wrote of his time in military school, The Citadel in Charleston and his struggles with his health and depression. “The reason I write is to explain my life to myself,� Conroy said in a 1986 interview. “I’ve also discovered that when I do, I’m explaining other people’s lives to them.� Much of his youth was spent in the shadow of Donald Conroy, who “thundered out of the sky in black-winged

The author was the eldest of seven children in a family constantly moving from base to base, a life described in “The Great Santini,� the film of which starred Robert Duvall as the relentless and violent patriarch. The 1976 novel initially enraged Conroy’s family, but the movie three years later made such an impression on his father that he claimed credit for boosting Duvall’s career.

peace between father and son. “I grew up hating my father,� Conroy said after his father died in 1998. “It was the great surprise of my life, after

the book came out, what an extraordinary man had raised me.� He would reflect on his relationship with his father in the 2013 memoir “The Death of Santini.� “The Prince of Tides,� published in 1986, brought Conroy a wide audience, selling more than 5 million copies with its story of a former football player from South Carolina with a traumatic past and the New York psychiatrist who attempts to help him. It was not greeted warmly by reviewers. “Inflation is the order of the day. The characters do too much, feel too much, suffer too much, eat too much, signify too much and, above all, talk too much,� said The Los Angeles Times Book Review. But Conroy ignored the reviews and focused on the advice he once got from novelist James Dickey, his professor at USC. “He told me to write everything I did with all the passion and all the power you could muster,� Conroy recalled. “Don’t worry about how long it takes or how long it is when you’re done. You know, he was right.�

Cruz wins Kansas in GOP battle for delegates WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Ted Cruz claimed the first prize in Saturday’s four-state round of Republican voting, triumphing in Kansas as front-runner Donald Trump tried to pad his delegate lead in the fractious race for president. Democrats in three states were choosing between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. “God bless Kansas,” the Texas senator declared during a rally in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. “The scream you hear, the howl that comes from Washington D.C., is utter terror at what we the people are doing together.” The Texas senator was leading Trump by more than a 2-to-1 margin in partial returns in Kansas. He attributed his strong showing to conservative coalescing behind his candidacy. Saturday’s GOP races also included Maine, Kentucky and Louisiana, while Democrats voted in Nebraska, Kansas and Louisiana. These states were largely overshadowed by Super Tuesday contests in the rear-view mirror and critical contests soon to come. But with front-runner Trump yet to win states by the margins he’ll need in order to secure the nomination before the GOP convention, every one of the 155 GOP delegates at stake on Saturday was worth fighting for. With the GOP race in chaos, establishment figures frantically are looking for any way to derail the billionaire businessman, perhaps at a contested convention if no candidate can get enough delegates to lock up the nomination in advance. Party leaders — including 2012 nominee Mitt Romney and 2008 nominee Sen. John McCain — are fearful a Trump victory would lead to a disastrous November election, with losses up and down the GOP ticket. “Everyone’s trying to figure out how to stop Trump,” the billionaire marveled at an afternoon rally in Orlando, Florida.

Republican presidential candidate, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, speaks at a caucus site Saturday in Wichita, Kansas. those who propelled Cruz to victory in Kansas, his fifth win of the nominating race. Cruz had won Alaska, Oklahoma, Iowa and his home state of Texas. “I believe that he is a true fighter for conservatives,” said Berry, a 67-yearold retired AT&T manager. As for Trump, Berry said, “he is a little too narcissistic.” It was anger that propelled many of Trump’s voters to the polls. “It’s my opportunity to revolt,” said Betty Nixon, a 60-year-old Trump voter in Olathe, Kansas. She said she liked the businessman because “he’s not bought and paid for.” Overall, Trump has prevailed in 10 of 15 contests heading into Saturday’s voting. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio had one win in Minnesota. Ohio Gov. John Kasich also bid for Republican votes. Rubio and Kasich both had higher hopes for winnertake-all contests on March 15 in their home states. On the Democratic side, Clinton

hoped that strong support among blacks in Louisiana would propel her to victory. Vermonter Sanders, trailing far behind Clinton in the delegate count, had higher hopes of making progress in Nebraska and Kansas, where the Democratic electorate is less diverse. Tara Evans, a 52-year-old quilt maker from Bellevue, Nebraska, said she was caucusing for Clinton, and happy to know that the former first lady could bring her husband back to the White House. “We’d be getting two for the price of one,” she said. “I like Bernie, but I think Hillary had the best chance of winning.” Heading into Saturday’s round of voting, Clinton had 1,066 delegates to Sanders’ 432, including superdelegates — members of Congress, governors and party officials who can support the candidate of their choice. It takes 2,383 delegates to win the Democratic nomination. There were 109 at stake on Saturday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Voters in five states and one territory made their choices for presidential nominees on Saturday. Both parties held contests in Kansas and Louisiana, and Republicans in Maine and Kentucky and Democrats in Nebraska also made their picks. Here’s a look at what some voters had to say as they went to the polls and met to caucus: Connie Belton, 65, a retired homemaker from Wichita, Kansas, had a message for Republicans who are uneasy about the potential nomination of Donald Trump as she voted in Kansas on Saturday. “If the big, fat GOP don’t like him, they don’t like me,” Belton said, adding that if he isn’t the nominee she is going to write his name in on the ballot. She attended a rally Saturday before going to the caucus to vote for him. “I adore Trump. I think his heart is as big as his hands,” she said. “And as big as other things, as he says.” The mother of four is drawn to Trump because he is a businessman who she thinks can run the country. She likes what he says about closing the border, going after the Islamic State and his love for America. Brent Crampton got to sleep around 4 a.m. after working his club DJ job, but still managed to be at a Democrat caucus site near Omaha, Nebraska, at 8 a.m. to vote for Sen. Bernie Sanders. Crampton, 31, says the race for the party’s presidential nominee “was just too important to me to sleep in.” “I have never heard someone so idealistic who has the experience to back it up,” Crampton said. He says he would still cast a vote for Hillary Clinton if she is the nominee. He says supporting any Republican from the current field is not an option. “It’s important to me that leaders have compassion and a sense of social justice,” he said.

An old friend shares a tale from the abyss

T

his week I reconnected with an old friend who many people in Sumter know and love, and we figured out it has been almost eight years since we’ve last spoken. Much to my dismay, I also realized that I didn’t know what he and his wife have been going through for the past two years. George and Gordon Jacobs were in a terrible car accident on the day after Thanksgiving two years ago. George was unconscious for a month, and both of them have had long, difficult recoveries made bearable through the love and support of many people but especially from their beloved son, Tal. George returned to Sumter’s First Presbyterian Church last weekend to give a riveting sermon about the power of spirituality to strengthen us in times of need. He sent me a copy, and I’ve already read it numerous times and shared it with friends and family. George and Gordon were in Sumter for about 11 years, roughly from the late

COMMENTARY 1980s to the late 1990s. He was the Rev. Jeff Aiken’s assistant pastor and was instrumental in developing Sumter’s Habitat for Humanity program in the wake of Hurricane Hugo in 1989. He also was a regular contributor to The Sumter Item, writing articles on a wide range of topics. Their work since then has been developGraham ing the Davidson CenOsteen tre for the Professions – www.davcp.com. The center was founded in 2003, and “serves individuals in the traditional vocations of law, medicine, ministry and public service.” A number of notable Sumterites are founding directors. That list includes my friend and former neighbor Wesley Blanding, president of Blanding Iron Works; Dr. David Brown, a longtime opthamologist; Chuck and Sue Fienning,

who have been active Sumter business and civic leaders for many years; Bo Shaw, director of American Forestry Management; Charles “Flop” Shaw of Shaw Lumber fame; and Dr. Ted “You Won’t Feel a Thing” Williams, Sumter’s favorite gastroenterologist and another former neighbor. George and I talked about our shared experiences from those years and their fond memories of friends in Sumter. As I told him, I suspect many people — like me — had no idea about the accident. You can reach them through their contact information on the www.davcp. com website, and if you ask him, I’m sure he’d send you a copy of the sermon titled, “Keep Your Eyes Open.” If you need something to help get you into “Easter Mode,” I highly recommend it. I’ll leave you with this excerpt: “Their car stops. She is calm, alert, not afraid, as she gets out she takes a careful look at us, no roof left on the car, and a deer in our backseat. She sees, and touches me in the driver’s seat, with years of experience, very aware, she tells a patrol officer, ‘This man needs a helicopter to

take him to the hospital if he is going to live.’ He listens, calls my $30,000 ride. These are three, of the many, who save our lives.” George can definitely still write, thank God, and it reminded me how much I liked his sermons because they often contained philosophical musings and historic parallels, like a good professor. My late grandmother, with whom George visited regularly and became close to in her final years, had a slightly different view of his professorial style in the pulpit. “How’d you like the sermon today, Toody?” I’d ask her. “Well it was fine,” she’d say. “If you like a school lecture from a smarty pants.” George and I always got a kick out of that.

COMMENTARY

The party’s (almost) over

S

o it has come to this: A brokered convention or President Hillary Clinton. These options seem to be what’s left to Republicans of conscience, who are, let’s face it, rather Romney-come-latelys to the pyre. They’re based on the following evidence: It is highly unlikely that Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio or John KaKathleen sich can wrest the nominaParker tion from Donald Trump, even though most polls show each of the three beating Clinton but Clinton beating Trump. The most Republicans can hope for now is that Kasich and Rubio win the primaries in their home states of Ohio and Florida, respectively, as Cruz did in Texas, and enough other contests to deny Trump the necessary delegates, thus paving the way for a brokered convention. This was the recommendation of former GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who presented a line-item, factual takedown of Trump on Thursday. The other option, offered in the service of saving the republic, is to vote for Clinton. ‘Tis bitter fruit, indeed, for any Republican to consider voting for Clinton for reasons wellknown to all sentient beings, including her lack of appeal to the GOP’s dominant olderwhite-male demographic. This was the party, after all, that saw the future in former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. Not surprisingly, she has endorsed Trump. Because? Because he’s an “outsider” (like any other Ivy-educated heir-billionaire) and, perhaps for the same reason, Palin once said she dashed to see his ex-wife Ivana when she visited the cosmetics counter of an Anchorage department store: “We are so desperate in Alaska for any semblance of glamour and culture.” Nobody does glam like The Donald. Even though few Republicans could ever vote Democratic, and certainly not for Clinton, it wouldn’t be the end of the world as we know it. But voting for Trump, whom other civilized nations find abhorrent, might be. Any hope that Trump might not really mean what he says is either delusional or a gamble too far. Which would voters prefer: The man who promises a “total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States,” or

one who’ll say anything to get elected? The lunatic or the liar? It has finally dawned on Republicans that their die is cast, and Trump is about to destroy the party he relatively recently re-joined. Like a bunch of Ebenezer Scrooges, GOP leaders have begun emerging from their sleep, blinking at the horror of past misdeeds, trying to prevent a future that their actions foretold. Both House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have publicly distanced themselves from some of Trump’s positions. Republicans may be forgiven for thinking the Trump carnival would have ended by now, but they don’t deserve much slack for allowing their party to devolve from an ideasdriven counterweight to liberalism to a ragtag consortium of discontents dissociated from anything like an intellectual trust. It finally has taken someone such as Romney, whose deference to duty is one of his life’s defining principles, to say the words others have been too cowardly to express: Love of country requires that Trump be stopped. If this ultimately means a brokered convention, then Romney might be willing to step up again — even at the risk of losing a third time. Only the servant bound by duty would submit to such excruciation. Then again, the country might be ready for an honest man like Romney who embodies many of the qualities of the various candidates combined — a successful governor (Kasich) and businessman (Trump), a constitutionalist (Cruz), someone with respect for the rule of law without the Draconian flair of a Cruz or Trump and with compassion for the downtrodden as well as an eye for the possible over the promised (Clinton). Still, if a last-minute audible isn’t available, it may be time for some creative destruction. Should Trump become the nominee, more reasoned minds in the GOP might do well to abandon it altogether. The death of this party — of knownothing ugliness and outright fascist rhetoric — might be a blessing, a cleansing of the palate before a resurrection of the party of limited government and individual liberty. Until then, it’s hail to the chieftess. Kathleen Parker’s email address is kathleenparker@washpost. com. © 2016, Washington Post Writers Group

The GOP battle for Michigan

D

EARBORN, Mich. — It is here in the industrial Midwest, not in the South, where Ted Cruz’s audacious theory of the 2016 race was supposed to be put to one of its most important tests. Michigan’s primary on Tuesday — and especially what happens that day in the Detroit suburbs that in 1980 were ground zero for a new political species, “Reagan Democrats” — will answer this question: Can Cruz locate and motivate legions of recently nonvoting conservatives, millions of them nationwide, especially whites without college experience, who can be pulled back into voting in numbers sufficient to determine the election in November? But the best-laid plans of mice and men, and even senators often go awry, and one problem with Cruz’s plan is that it was formulated the world B.D.T. — Before Donald Trump. He, too, is courting this cohort of the disaffected, whose grievances about politicians certainly cannot this year include being ignored by them. But although Trump may bestride the political scene mastodon, Patrick Colbeck and Wendy Day are undaunted. Colbeck, 50, was an engineer with no interest in politics until, six years ago, he did something almost unprecedented even among members of the national legislature: He read the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare. He concluded that “this is about control and has nothing to do with care.” Now he is a Republican state senator, the first Michigan legislator elected from the tea party, and a thorn in the side of the GOP’s legislative leadership on spending and other matters. Which is to say, he is somewhat like Ted

COMMENTARY Cruz, of whose Michigan campaign Colbeck is chairman. Day, 43, is the wife of a soldier who has a Purple Heart from two tours in the Middle East and the mother of a 19-year-old soldier just George back from Will his first deployment in Kuwait. She was working with war widows before becoming state director of the Cruz campaign because “he’s been to Babylon and survived.” Now she travels with a spreadsheet, supplied by Cruz’s national campaign headquarters in Houston, detailing the expected March 8 vote in all of Michigan’s 4,500 precincts and the number of votes Cruz needs to get in each in order to win the state. Houston projects that Cruz needs 345,000 of the 1.08 million votes the campaign expects to be cast. Day has on her phone a picture of two of those voters who, with no prompting from the campaign, set up a table outside a tractor supply store to educate voters about Cruz’s enthusiasm for the Second Amendment. Other volunteers held a fundraiser at a gun range to pay for a Cruz billboard. Yes, each such anecdote testifies to Cruz’s ability to energize a passionate cadre, and, yes, as has been said, the plural of “anecdote” is “data.” Today, however, much more than when Winston Churchill said, “We have entered the region of mass effects.” In Michigan, as in many of the Super Tuesday states, the Cruz campaign mounted the most ambitious

efforts to create telephoneand-shoe-leather get-out-thevote operations. In its approach to Iowa, the campaign identified 150 clusters of Iowans for special attention, including a group of 60 who signed a petition seeking legalization of the sale of fireworks in the state, a group that received a blessing from Cruz in his libertarian mode. But today’s saturation journalism about presidential politics — and especially the insatiable appetite of television for the garish sights and sounds of Trump whose campaign consists almost entirely of feeding this appetite — can raise waves of passion and distraction that wash away more methodical ways of engaging with voters. A Detroit News/WDIV-TV poll taken Feb. 14-16 after Iowa’s caucuses and New Hampshire’s primary but before South Carolina’s primary and Nevada’s caucuses, presented a microcosm of the GOP’s national problem: Trump 25.2 percent, undecided 21.3, Cruz 15, Marco Rubio 11.8, John Kasich 10.5, Ben Carson 9, Jeb Bush 5.3. Trump had the highest unfavorable rating (41.3), but the combined 37.3 percent of the three serious Trump rivals still in the race is too fragmented to derail him. And Kasich, from contiguous Ohio, is targeting Michigan. Michigan’s primary comes a week — an eternity — after Super Tuesday’s 11 primaries altered the political landscape. Michigan is one of the 18 states (and the District of Columbia) —with 242 electoral votes — that Republicans have lost in six consecutive presidential elections, so attention must be paid.

High School’s Air Force Junior ROTC program have volunteered to participate in Friday and Saturday’s remembrance event. The cadets will be marching around the school for 24 hours, in two-hour shifts, beginning on Friday at 6 p.m. The march will be military style, beginning and ending at the ROTC drill pad. The cadets will only stop marching during scheduled breaks, for food, water and other necessities, said retired Air Force Lt. Col. Rick G. Moxley, who serves as the school’s senior aerospace science instructor. This year, active duty airmen from Shaw Air Force Base will also participate in the march. Levi Pate, a senior, and cadet commander of the school’s Air Force Junior ROTC program, said he volunteered to participate because he wanted to honor the fallen

military men. “This is something I can do to commemorate those who served,” Pate said. “These soldiers deserve honor and respect; they gave up their lives for us to have the freedoms we have today.” The program is asking for a donation of at least $50 for the local DAV chapter, or a donation of water or small snacks for the cadets who participate in the march, Moxley said. All checks should be made to “Disabled American Veterans.” DAV is an organization chartered by Congress for disabled military veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces that helps them and their families through various means. It has more than 1.2 million members nationwide. Anyone interested in assisting with this cause can contact retired Lt. Col. Rick G. Moxley at (803) 840-1589 or rick.moxley@ sumterschools.net.

challenge I have ever had,” said Moore, who has worked with businesses large and small and plans to move to Charleston. He said he was standing where his ancestors first stepped foot in the United States and that his greatgreat grandfather, Smalls “at the age of 23 on the morning of May 13, 1862, created history right out here.”

“He sailed that boat right out here and past Fort Sumter.” Moore added that he feels “a real connection to this project and to this land.” “I can’t imagine what those people who were offloaded from those slave ships must have felt.” Former Charleston Mayor Joseph P. Riley Jr., who is helping with fundraising ef-

forts, expects the needed money to be pledged so construction can begin this time next year. The museum is expected to take 18 months to build.

Class all their own

Despite falling short in state championship game, senior group ranks among best ever at Sumter High

BY JUSTIN DRIGGERS justin@theitem.com COLUMBIA — In the aftermath of the most painful loss of the season, Sumter High School girls basketball head coach Jason Loudenslager found a moment to give praise to those leaving -and a benchmark for those coming back. “This senior class is, I believe, 49-8 over the last two years,” he said. “That’s something we mentioned in the locker room to the eighth-graders coming up and some of the younger players we have coming back. “I’ve gotten to coach a lot of quality kids and a lot of quality teams, but that’s the greatest senior class I’ve ever coached.” It’s hard to argue based on their achievements even with Friday’s 49-40 loss to Spring Valley in the 4A state championship game. In the last four years, Sumter has made three trips to the third round of the 4A state playoffs capped by this year’s state title run that saw the Lady Gamecocks play for the school’s first crown since the 1983-84 season. The seven seniors were the backbone of the squad on both sides of the floor. Kyra Wilson, Jessica Harris and Cy Cooper were among the offensive leaders all season while D’Erika Hamilton, Bre Tyler, Anna McBride and Tiarra Abram added key baskets and were forces on defense and under the boards. “It’s something that we haven’t done for 32 years -making it to state,” said Harris, who finished just over 20 points shy of 1,000 for her career at SHS. “I’m just really proud of them. We battled every night. We won some nights, some nights we KEITH GEDAMKE / THE SUMTER ITEM didn’t. but I wouldn’t want to Sumter’s Kyra Wilson (5) scored 21 points in Friday’s 49-40 loss to Spring Valley in the 4A play with another group of state championship game at Colonial Life Arena in Columbia.

By JEFFREY COLLINS The Associated Press GREENVILLE — The Schmidt brothers are dominating this year’s ClemsonSouth Carolina rivalry. Clate Schmidt allowed just one hit over more than five scoreless innings, then profusely thanked reliever Pat Krall for getting out of a bases-loaded jam he created as the Tigers (7-2) beat South Carolina 5-0 on Saturday. Clarke Schmidt, the winner for South Carolina in Friday’s 8-1 victory, walked over to Clemson’s dugout and gave his brother a hug SCHMIDT when it was over. They’ve been too competitive to talk much over the past two days. “Maybe now we can go grab a bite to eat,” Clate Schmidt said. Clate Schmidt faced just 21 batters to his brother’s 30 and pitched over two fewer innings. But he also allowed four fewer hits. Clarke walked none and struck out nine Friday, while Clate struck out six and walked four, leading to his early exit. Both are now 3-0 on the season. As far as bragging rights, Clate said that will go to the brother whose team wins Sunday’s game at Clemson to win this year’s series. But as far as inspiration, few can beat Clate. He was pitching Saturday nine months after getting his first treatment for nodular sclerosis, a form of Hodgkin’s lymphoma. That same day, the Boston Red Sox drafted him in the 32nd round. But he had a different goal that pulled him through. “That tunnel vision was looking toward this game and this series,” he said. The Gamecocks managed just two hits in their first loss of the season. But they were still in it in the top of the sixth when Schmidt began to struggle. The senior sandwiched the only hit he allowed between two walks, leaving Krall to deal with a bases loaded jam with one out.

Thornwell propels Gamecocks to win over Arkansas, 76-61

added another in a twominute span that put South Carolina up 77-50 with 6:40 left and started the celebration. “I mean, it just felt good,” Mitchell said. “It felt right at the moment. I was feeling good. Our team was up. We were all just hyped. The whole entire game was very emotional. It’s not really uncharacteristic of me. I just don’t do it a lot. But this game we were just feeling great, so I just let it go.” Mitchell made 8 of 16 shots, including 4 of 8 from behind the arc, and finished with her sixth 20-plus-point performance of the season. SEC player of the year A’ja Wilson (18 points), Cuevas (15), Alaina Coates (13) and Khadijah Sessions (10) also reached double figures for South Carolina. Coates added 10 rebounds for her 17th double-double of the season and third in the last four games. The Gamecocks made 11 of 13 shots in the fourth quarter. “When you’re playing well, things are going right for us,” Mitchell

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Sindarius Thornwell didn’t feel any extra pressure stepping into a leading role for a South Carolina team minus injured leading scorer Michael Carrera on Saturday. The junior certainly played the part well in the Gamecocks (24-7, 11-7 Southeastern Conference) 76-61 win at Arkansas. With Carrera out with a THORNWELL hip injury, Thornwell scored 22 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and had six assists in the convincing win — one in which South Carolina led by as many as 27 points in the second half before holding off a late rally by the Razorbacks (16-15, 9-9). It was the fifth time Thornwell has topped 20 points in the game this season, though none of the other performances were as timely for a Gamecocks team that entered the game having lost two in a row and four of six overall. “Our team is not focused on one player, and our offense is not designed around one player, so we all took it upon ourselves to step up a notch and do the things that Mike (does) with each other,” Thornwell said. Thornwell was at his best early, scoring 15 points in a first half where South Carolina’s multiple pressure-defensive looks left Arkansas confused and out of rhythm offensively. Duane Notice added 15 points for South Carolina, while Laimonas Chatkevicius had 11 and Mindaugas Kacinas 10, but it was the Gamecocks defense that led the way as the school matched its most victories since the 1996-97 season — the most conference victories since 1997-98.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Tiffany Mitchell sank her fourth and final 3-pointer, looked to the South Carolina bench and then shimmied. Coach Dawn Staley may have wanted to do the same. After all, it surely was a moment worth celebrating. Mitchell scored 20 points, leading five Gamecocks in double figures, and third-ranked South Carolina handled No. 13 Kentucky 93-63 in the semifinals of the Southeastern Conference women’s tournament Saturday. A day after the Gamecocks turned in their worst offensive performance of the season, Staley’s team delivered one of its best. This one helped the topseeded Gamecocks (30-1) advance to their second straight SEC title game. They will face either No. 16 Mississippi State or Tennessee in the championship game Sunday. If South Carolina plays like it did against the Wildcats (23-7), it could be hoisting another trophy.

Kyle, the defending Sprint Cup Series champion, has just one win, back in 2009, and he missed last season’s race with his broken leg. Kurt Busch is in position for a big Sunday after winning the pole and setting the track speed record this weekend. He also claimed the pole last week in Atlanta with a team that has taken full advantage of NASCAR’s new low-downforce package and tire setup.

SUMTER

From Page B1

It was the senior group that spurred big comebacks against Lexington in the third round this year and it was Wilson who scored the final four points in regulation against North Augusta that forced overtime and eventually led to the Lady Gamecocks’ trip to Colonial Life Arena on Friday. It was Wilson, Abram and Tyler who were part of the third-quarter charge against the Lady Vikings that got Sumter back into the game after being down by double digits at the half. “I love’em.” Wilson said of the group. “I wouldn’t have wanted to do this with anybody else.” It’s no surprise that five members of the group will be playing at the next level as well — something Loudenslager will appreciate more as time passes, he said.

“It hurts tonight, but I’m going to be so proud of that in a couple months,” he said. “We’ll be like proud parents watching these kids go off to college and sit in the stands and watch them play next year.” Spring Valley had seven seniors of its own, led by Christian Hithe and Shantay Taylor, as part of a core group that finished their careers with back-to-back titles. “They’re all very special and very unique,” SV head coach Anne Long said. “This group of seniors came up from the JV program and that doesn’t happen a lot.” It was maybe the experience of having already won a title that was the biggest difference, Loudenslager said. “I felt like we were just as talented as Spring Valley, but they played like they had been there before,” he said. “If I brought the same team back next year, it might be a different outcome.”

Tigers top BC as Eagles finish 0-18 in ACC By KEN POWTAK The Associated Press BOSTON — Clemson coach Brad Brownell walked over to Boston College coach Jim Christian and gave him a long embrace, offering some encouragement at the end of the Eagles’ long regular season. “He’s a good friend and he’s a guy I know that it’s harder on him than people realBLOSSOMGAME ize,” Brownell said after the Tigers finished off the Eagles’ winless regular season in Atlantic Coast Conference play with a 66-50 victory on Saturday. “As a fellow coach you agonize with a guy because you know he’s not playing with everything he has, but he’s done it with class and I just let him know that,” Brownell said. The Eagles (7-24, 0-18) be-

came the first ACC team to go winless in its conference regular-season games since Maryland went 0-14 in 1986-87. It’s the sixth time in league history. They do have another shot this week in the conference tourney. Worse, BC’s football team went 0-8 in league play, making the school the first in ACC history to go winless in both sports in the same academic year. Not since former Southwest Conference member TCU went a combined 0-24 during the 1976-77 season has a school from a major Division I conference done it. The last member of one of the current Power 5 leagues to achieve the dubious double was Georgia in 1943-44. “I try not to get too down,” said Christian, in his second season with BC. “I lean on a lot of people that I know, one of them is their coach. We’re really good friends. People that coach, they know. People

who are in basketball, they know. They know how fine of line it is in this league.” Jaron Blossomgame scored 16 points, Donte Grantham added 13 points and eight rebounds, and Avry Holmes had 11 points for Clemson (17-13, 10-8). The Tigers halted a three-game losing skid and improved to just 3-8 on the road. Jerome Robinson led the Eagles with 18 points. Dennis Clifford had 14 points and 11 rebounds. Clemson led 38-21 at halftime and was never threatened in the second half. BC didn’t close the gap below double digits in the final 20 minutes, completing its regular season of futility. All but three of its losses were by double digits, seven by 22 points or more. BC was held scoreless for nearly eight minutes in the second half. The Eagles lost at the buzzer at North Carolina State on Wednesday.

The Tigers went 8 of 14 on their 3-point attempts in the first half. Blossomgame hit three shots from beyond the arc in a 1:13 span late in the half. Grantham had a driving dunk just before the buzzer. The Eagles kept it close until the Tigers went on a 14-3 run, opening a 25-15 lead midway into the half.

GAME-BREAKER Blossomgame connected on three 3-pointers in turning a 27-17 lead into 36-19. “We just hit a spurt where Blossomgame hits three 3s in a row,” Brownell said. “We’re fortunate to have a guy like that.” His teammates fed off the run. “Obviously, that gave us momentum,” Grantham said.

From Page B1 said. “That’s what happened this game. Things were falling into place for us. We could have tried to shoot with our eyes closed and it probably would have went in. I know (coach) wouldn’t have let us shoot with our eyes closed. But if we tried it, we probably would have made it this game.” The Gamecocks shot a season-low 31 percent and made a season-low 16 baskets in a nine-point victory against Auburn on Friday. They responded better than even Staley could have hoped against the league’s hottest team. Kentucky had won eight in a row, with its last lost coming against South Carolina. Now, the Gamecocks have beaten the Wildcats in Lexington, in Columbia and in Jacksonville. Makayla Epps led fifthseeded Kentucky with 16 points, seven rebounds and five assists. “I’m sure we’ll look at the tape and there will be plenty of moments where we didn’t play as well as we needed to,” Cats coach Matthew Mitchell said. “We needed to play really well to win a game like that.”

Times have changed for Braves’ rotation By PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press KISSIMMEE, Fla. — In the tunnel leading to the dugout at the Atlanta Braves spring training stadium, there’s a picture of John Smoltz being inducted into the Hall of Fame, right above a photo showing Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine holding their Cooperstown plaques. My, how times have changed. The Braves head into another rebuilding season with a rotation that figures to be a work in progress well beyond opening day, with manager Fredi Gonzalez conceding it might be the All-Star break before

CLEMSON

From Page B1

Krall went 2-0 to the next two batters before striking them out. Up first was Alex Destino, who went 5-for-5 on Friday. Krall also sat down Chris Cullen, who is batting .321, but has no hits in eight appearances in the series. “We felt like we had a chance to get back in it there. We had two cracks at it,” South Carolina coach Chad Holbrook said. “We didn’t come up with the big hit today. We didn’t square up many balls.” Clemson only had five hits, but made them count for the most part. After leaving the bases loaded after scoring just

things sort themselves out. For now, Julio Teheran is the only sure thing, but even the 25-year-old former All-Star is coming off his worst full season in the majors. Bud Norris, who went 3-11 with a 6.72 ERA a year ago, figures to be the No. 2 starter, and the only other pitcher who seems locked into a spot is 23-yearold Matt Wisler, coming off a promising rookie season. Beyond that, it’s anybody’s guess. The Braves will give a long look to a plethora of young pitchers, many of them acquired in trades over the past year as part of a massive roster overhaul that isn’t likely pay dividends for at least another season or two.

one run in the first, the Tigers faced another critical at bat in the fifth, with runners on second and third after a muffed throw. Chris Okey then tripled to deep center — only his eighth hit of the season — and put the Tigers up 4-0. Chase Pinder hit his fourth home run of the season over Fluor Field’s tall left field wall that the Class A minor league park modeled after parent club Boston’s Green Monster at Fenway Park to up Clemson up 5-0. Holbrook said his team just couldn’t figure out Clate Schmidt, just like the Tigers were puzzled by his brother the night before. “What a great story that kid is,” Holbrook said. “He is an inspiration to a lot of people.”

“Sometimes that wave is out by the Marshall Islands,” Gonzalez quipped. “But it’s coming.” This is all rather jarring because starting pitching was the cornerstone of Atlanta’s unprecedented streak of 14 straight division titles. No one on the current roster should be expected to fill those massively large spikes, but Gonzalez is hopeful that youngsters such as Wisler, Mike Foltynewicz, Manny Banuelos, Aaron Blair, Sean Newcomb, Williams Perez and Lucas Sims will eventually form the cornerstone of another stellar rotation. “At least we have some candidates,” the manager said.

‘Ladies, Laughter and Grits’ Inspirational speaker will address women’s group on March 12 BY IVY MOORE ivy@theitem.com

N

ationally known Christian speaker, Bible teacher and author

Joanne Ellison will be the special guest speaker at the March 12 meeting of G.R.I.T.S, a women’s group that gets together monthly at Church of the Holy Comforter. G.R.I.T.S., which stands for Growing Righteous In The Savior, has titled the program “Ladies, Laughter and Grits.” Anne Walton, who met Ellison when both lived in the Charleston area, arranged Saturday’s program, which will be presented in the Parish Life Hall. She said G.R.I.T.S. started out as a women’s ministry within the church, “and we’re trying to reach out to the whole community. We want to reach more women of all denominations, across all boundaries, to join us. “Basically, we’re a group of women that enjoys a lot of humor. We laugh at and with ourselves.” Walton said having a guest of Ellison’s reputation and talent offered the perfect way to do that. She compared Ellison to Beth Moore and Priscilla Shirer, popular Christian writers and presenters. Ellison “is a powerful speaker,” Walton said, “and her Bible studies are powerful.” Walton attended Ellison’s Bible studies in Mount Pleasant, and the two became good friends. Ellison’s topic for the program will be “Messages We Give Ourselves.” Saturday will be a return visit for Ellison, who Walton said “had a healing mission here several years ago.” Ellison founded the national nonprofit organization “Drawing Near to God” in 2000 with the aim of helping “Christian women navigate their way around the distractions of life and into the presence of God.” The mission, according to Ellison’s website, is “to help women to make space for God,” and Ellison’s vision is to “inspire people to seek a closer relationship with God. Equip people to draw nearer to God. Em-

grits, bacon, cheese and other toppings, coffee, tea, hot chocolate and soft drinks — will be served. Babysitting will be available for children 10 years old and younger. While there is no charge for any part of the program, G.R.I.T.S. asks those wishing to attend, especially those who need babysitting, to call so the group can make plans.

Mrs. Carter completed elementary and secondary school at Mayesville and Kendall Institute and received the bachelor of science degree at Morris College with further study at Allen University and Florida A.M. College. She has one daughter and 18 foster children. • Awards recognizing almost 2,000 years of teaching and administrative service were presented last week by the Sumter Classroom Teachers Association at their first awards ceremony. John W. Godbey, chairman of the board of trustees of School District 17, presented the awards in the Edmunds High School cafeteria. Keynote speaker for the awards ceremony was Cyril B. Busbee of the S.C. Educational Association. Receiving awards for the most years of service, with 30, were Miss Annie Lou White and Miss Irene Yates, McLaurin Junior High School teachers, and Miss Edna Boney, Central School teacher. • Sumter’s Memorial Stadium will be the scene for the awarding of diplomas and certificates to 329 seniors of Edmunds High School. The program based on the theme “Choose Something Like a Star” will be presented by speakers Mac Summers, Karla McGinnis, Bett Hill, Billy Eldridge, Rick Oborn and Woody Cato. The welcome will be given by John Suber, senior class president, with the devotional by Betsy Lambert and Richard Ely. The chorus, under the direction of Ward Yarborough, will be accompanied by pianists Amelia Hucks and Camille Estornelle and the school band, with Robert Simmons directing. • Library officials are planning to revise and in some instances enlarge the existing routes for bookmobile library service. At the same time, it was announced that deposit service to schools throughout the county will be discontinued at the close of the current school year. This action was taken by the library board on the recommendation of a special committee of the board and the librarian. Affected are 10 suburban and rural schools. The county library began its service to the schools during the Depression, and until recently, schools were dependent upon the service. Several schools were accredited because of the service. • Kris M. Shekitka, who will be among those graduated from Hillcrest High School, has been named a recipient of a $4,000 King Teen Scholarship to Wofford College, Spartanburg. Shekitka, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Shekitka, earlier had qualified as fifth-ranking King Teen, for a $400 per year scholarship for four years. The amount was raised to $1,000 per year for four years when one of the previously announced finalists accepted an appointment to a service academy. • Edmunds High School Senior Robert Eugene Skinner was awarded a full-fee scholarship to attend Clemson University at Sumter. The announcement was made by Dr. Sam M. Willis, director of Clemson University at Sumter. Members of the Sumter County Commission for Higher Education made the scholarship possible through individual contributions. Members are Baxter B. Kelly, chairman; R.V. Royall Jr.; John M. Edens; H.D. Barnett; H.C. Edens Jr.; and Ashton Phillips. • Sumter now has a fulltime Social Security office, open five days a week, which will serve Sumter and Clarendon counties. The office occupies ample, air-conditioned quarters in the new Federal Building, actually the remod-

eled former post office at the corner of Caldwell and South Main streets. “We will offer service on any matter concerning social security,” said Leon Myers, officer-in-charge of the new Social Security center. • Sumter has been presented a replica of the city’s mascot, a fighting gamecock, by a former Shaw Air Force Base wing commander. The wooden gamecock was sent to Mayor Robert E. Graham by Col. Arthur D. Thomas. Thomas, who is now serving in Southeast Asia, was the commander of the 363rd Tactical Reconnaissance Wing, Shaw, from August 1963 to June 1965. The gamecock stands more than 15 inches high and was hand carved of teakwood. Thomas, in a letter that accompanied the bird, said the bird was sent to help Mayor Graham rule the roost during the meetings of Sumter City Council. • Sen. Donald S. Russell’s campaign headquarters in Sumter has officially opened. The Russell-for-Senator office is located at 214 N. Main St., next to First Federal Savings and Loan Association, directly across from the National Bank of S.C.

Boys State is sponsored by the American Legion, and this group was named by Post 15 of Sumter. • Mrs. Mary Bland Wright, who served for 20 years as secretary to County Agent T. O. Bowen and in the ASCS office, was presented with a silver tray at a retirement luncheon given in her honor by a group of her friends. “Miss Mary” was honored by the county agent and others connected with agriculture for “efficient, friendly and faithful service to the people of Sumter County.” • More than 200 members of the South Carolina Federation of Postal Clerks and Women’s Auxiliary opened their twoday convention in Sumter today. Registration for the delegates began at 9 a.m. at the Holiday Inn convention headquarters. They were welcomed by Sumter Mayor Robert E. Graham, Postmaster W. Loring Lee Jr. and Local No. 795 President D.R. Jordan and Mrs. Jordan, head of the women’s Auxiliary. • On June 14, Sumter and Clarendon county voters will for the first time pick two senators. Because of the court-ordered reapportionment of the South Carolina Senate, the two senators will be decided on by voters in both the counties. Incumbent senator Henry B. Richardson of Sumter is unopposed for seat No. 1, but two other candidates, incumbent Clarendon County Sen. James M. Morris and Thomasine Grayson Mason, are fighting it out for the nomination to seat No. 2. • Sumter Police Chief Clarence N. Kirkland has been named a member of the national Crime Prevention Committee of the International Association of Police Chiefs. The only other South Carolinian serving on the committee will be J.P.

25 YEARS AGO – 1991 Feb. 29-March 6 Lee County ended its fiscal year in the black with nearly $1 million left in its general fund. The county was reported to be in good financial shape by County Administrator Barry Hickman. The county has left from the 198990 budget year $983,944, a $330,000 increase from the previous year, said Tony Boykin, an accountant with Sheheen, Hancock and Godwin. • A bronze bust of the woman often referred to as “the mother of the civil rights movement” is the newest addition to the National Portrait Gallery. The sculpture of Rosa Parks, who ignited the civil rights movement by refusing to relinquish her seat on the Montgomery, Alabama, bus more than 35 years ago, was unveiled Thursday. • Stephanie Jackson came in the fourth quarter and woke up the Hudgens offense and helped steer the Lady Cougars to a 40-33 victory over Richard Winn on Friday in the semifinals of the South Carolina Independent Schools Athletic Association playoffs at Sumter County Exhibition Center. Hudgens will face King Academy this afternoon at 3 for the State Championship. • As freshman basketball seasons go in South Carolina, Spartanburg’s Darren McDuffie had to be rated a success. He moved into the starting lineup six games into the season and finished fourth on the team in scoring with a 9.9 point average, second in rebounding at 5.4, and was second in field goal percentage during the 1989-90 season when the Rifles went 29-3 and reached the quarterfinals of the NAIA Tournament. • Students at St. John and R.E. Davis elementary schools learned the secret formula of success as prescribed by Miss South Carolina 1990. “Never give up, believe in yourself, and don’t take drugs” was Mary Waddell Gainey’s message to kindergartners through sixth-graders at the two schools in Sumter School District 2. Success, she said, is feeling good about yourself. Gainey showed the children pictures of herself as a child and talked about her early years as an “ugly duckling” who was somewhat overweight and had a hip problem. • Juanita Wheeler kept pictures of herself as the first Miss Sumter hidden in her bottom dresser drawer for years until her daughter found them and made her get them out. Even at age 89, her clouds of silver-white hair

and sparkling brown eyes recall the beauty that won her the title in 1933. • USC Sumter is another step closer to offering fouryear business degrees at the local campus. The USC Sumter proposal was approved Thursday by the University of South Carolina’s board of trustees. The proposal, which was endorsed by USC’s academic affairs committee, will go before two S.C. Commissions on Higher Education committees before being voted on by commission members Nov. 1. J.C. Anderson Jr., dean of USC Sumter, said Friday that the university intends to offer a bachelor’s degree in business administration in fall 1992. He said the biggest challenge is getting CHE approval for the program, but he noted that local support is strong. • Sumter County Dream Week began with organizers working to teach area youth the importance of dreaming of a successful, drug-free future. Guest speakers will talk to children about raising selfesteem and will try to help them realize that everybody is important, said Joyce Lenz, Dream Week’s public relations chairwoman. The key to Dream Week is giving children positive role models to emulate, she said. “It doesn’t matter where you come from. It’s not your background. It’s what you yourself are,” Lenz said. “You have to want to succeed.” • The Partisan Post, USC Sumter’s student newspaper, was judged “Best Overall” in Collegiate Division 2 for 1990 in the SC Press Association’s annual competition. “This was a wonderful surprise and one that I really didn’t expect,” said the monthly publication’s adviser, Barbara Klemt, who teaches journalism and English at USC Sumter. • Arthur Murray, the ballroom dance school king who helped teach millions how to be lighter on their two left feet, died Sunday after a bout with pneumonia. He was 95. • President Dr. Luns C.

THE SUMTER ITEM

SUMTER ITEM FILE PHOTO

Julian’s Restaurant is seen in the 1930s at its Main Street location. The building was originally a branch of Montgomery Ward & Co. that was open 33 months. Julian’s Restaurant was a popular spot that moved from its original location on South Main Street to the building vacated by Montgomery Ward & Co.

After Julian’s Restaurant occupied it, the building was sold in 1945 and became Maxwell Brothers and Blackwell Furniture Co. Now the building is owned by Thompson Industries.

R

eflections looks back at the history of a three-story structure that stands

on North Main Street. The building was completed in 1929 to house a branch of the Montgomery Ward & Co. that was expanding the number of its stores at that time.

Since its opening, the edifice has enjoyed a long and vibrant history in Sumter’s downtown. It has been the domicile of several important and memorable enterprises including Montgomery Ward, Julian’s Restaurant and Maxwell Bros. and Blackwell Furniture Store; it currently houses Thompson Industries. The information and photos to create this article Sammy Way were taken from The REFLECTIONS Sumter Item archives. An article in The Sumter Daily Item published in 1928 announced that “a contract was let for a threestory department store building on the Lemmon lot, North Main Street.” The three-story brick-and-tile building would house the Sumter branch of Montgomery Ward & Co., “the nationally known mail order and department store merchants of Chicago.” The company was undergoing a period of expansion, and after investigating the Sumter market, it selected this area for one of its stores. The next step was to decide upon a site for construction. An empty lot, located on North Main Street between two buildings occupied by “R.T. Brown Tire Co. to the north and the Electric Maid Bakery to the

south,” was selected. A contract was signed by Mrs. Lemmon and Montgomery Ward stating that Mrs. Lemmon would have the building constructed according to specifications provided by the Montgomery Ward & Co. In addition to the sale of the property, Mrs. Lemmon had to agree to a long-term lease by the company. The building was designed by LaFaye & LaFaye architects of Columbia. Six companies provided bids to complete construction, one from Sumter, one Charlotte firm and four companies from Columbia. The contract was eventually awarded to W.A. McCrary of Columbia, who submitted the low bid of $43,300. The dimensions of the building were to be 65 feet by 100 feet and three stories. The front of the structure was to be finished “with red pressed brick, white tile and plate glass. The floors throughout consisted of hard

maple. It was heated and had an electric elevator operating from the basement to the third floor; in all its appointments the building will be modern and artistic, with all the conveniences to be found in the bestequipped department stores.” The building was completed in 1929 and operated at this site for 33 months, closing during the Great Depression. Montgomery Ward Co. ran a notice in the December edition of The Sumter Daily Item advising the public that because of the declining economy, the Sumter store would close and liquidate its entire inventory. The building was later sold to Julian Levy, who transformed the facility into a restaurant he named Julian’s; the popular restaurant moved from its location on South Main Street to the “large, airy building.” The plans were drawn to add an

annex at the rear of the kitchen in order to prevent odors and heat from entering the dining room. “A separate waiting room and ticket office were built within the main building for the Greyhound and East Coast Bus Line, and a parking shed for the buses was constructed at the rear. The second floor of the building was used for banquets and dancing. A private dining room for small parties was built on the first floor. The third floor was to be kept in reserve for banquets and dinners as required. The place enjoyed phenomenal success from the start, doing a large tourist business as well as local business trade. Julian Levy was the owner and manager of the establishment.” The building was sold in 1945 and became Maxwell Brothers and Blackwell Furniture Co. This company later constructed a second store on West Liberty Street. The Main Street building was later purchased and became home for several businesses. The upstairs portion was used for a number of activities including dances and training in dance. The building has been renovated and is owned by Thompson Industries.

Sumter School District LEMIRA STEPPERS RAISE FUNDS The Lemira Golden Steppers, coached by physical education teacher Mary Tuggle, hosted a step competition at Crestwood High School yesterday. Twelve teams from South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia participated. Twenty Lemira elementary students make up the school’s team, and they have won or placed in several competitions this year. In their seventh year of competition, the team teaches discipline, concentration, teamwork and eye-hand coordination. These qualities carry over into the classroom thus improving skills in other areas. As the team has successfully competed against elementary, middle and high school step programs and its reputation grows, it is being invited to additional competitions. The team has the opportunity to represent South Carolina at the National Steppers Association’s national championship in Memphis, Tennessee, April 7-10. They are raising funds for the trip which will include transportation and three nights in Memphis for 20 members and chaperones. The team has a Facebook page, Lemira Lion Golden Steppers, and a link to its fundraiser page. There is also a link to watch one of its shows via YouTube.

ARTIST VISITS WILLOW DRIVE Silhouette artist, author and musician Clay Rice visited Willow Drive Elementary School recently to inspire students to use their imagination and develop their talents. He learned to make silhouettes by working with his grandfather in the Lowcountry, starting when he was 6 years old. His children’s books are illustrated with the silhouettes, and the songs he sings in his presentation go with his books. His works are sought after worldwide and are on permanent display at the SC State Museum. Rice is described by author Pat Conroy as a “great talent who combines soul and passion.” Silhouette artistry and storytelling have been in his family for more than 80 years. Each freehand profile silhouette takes less than one minute to create. He made one of a student while the students in the audience counted how long it took. While reading his book, “The Stick,” he told the students, “Imagination lives in you. It’s the fire in all you do. Use it well, and you can be anything you want to be.” While reading and singing from his book, “The Lonely Shadow,” he encouraged the students to be persistent. Rice’s work has been featured in Country Living, the Washington Times, The Atlanta Constitution, Cookie Magazine, and has appeared in the CBS series “Army Wives.” He is the recipient of the Moonbeam Children’s Book Award and the IPPY Award for Children’s Book of the Year.

Woman’s bad times are made worse by family’s desertion DEAR ABBY — I recently realized I have a fair-weather family. My husband got in trouble with the law and is Dear Abby now in a ABIGAIL drug treatment facility. VAN BUREN This had been hard on me, but I love him. His crime was being in possession of illegal drugs that were intended only for himself. His family has turned their backs on us. My family will invite me to family functions, but

if I mention him, they walk away. I have been feeling very alone and isolated. Today I went for my followup OB-GYN appointment and was referred to an oncologist for further testing and treatment. I don’t even want to tell my family. I spoke with one close friend who said my parents and siblings have a right to know what is going on, but I feel differently. I think families should support each other through everything. They don’t get to pick and choose. What do you think? Doing this alone in Pennsylvania DEAR DOING THIS ALONE — I know

you are angry with your relatives, but if you think you will be punishing them by keeping your diagnosis to yourself, you won’t. I agree with your friend that your family should be told what’s going on with you, not because they have a right to know, but because you may at some point need their help. DEAR ABBY — In the past, you have printed letters about neighbors taking food to people who are grieving. I recently lost my wife of 57 years. Her death was unexpected. I ended up with a refrigerator and freezer overflowing with so much food I could not eat it all. Losing someone dear to you

kills your appetite. Trust me, at a time like this, you aren’t hungry. May I offer an alternative to cooking food and taking it over, especially if the recipient lives alone? Call the person and invite him or her to dinner at your home, or ask what night you could bring dinner over and have supper with the individual. Speaking from firsthand experience, for me the worst time of day (besides bedtime) is being alone at dinner when daylight fades. What’s hard isn’t that I might have to prepare or warm up some of the food someone thoughtfully brought, but it’s the emptiness

of the house. About two weeks after the funeral, a couple of dear friends invited me over for dinner and games. They understood what a difference it would make in helping me cope with a great loss. And bless my daughter and “son-in-love” for their insistence that I have dinner with them every Sunday, at a minimum, with their family. Grateful in Long Beach, Calif. DEAR GRATEFUL — Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of your wife, and thank you for taking the time to point out how important companionship can be for people who are grieving.

DAR chapter announces its essay contest winners FROM STAFF REPORTS Each year Sumter’s Home Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, recognizes outstanding students at its February meeting. The chapter sponsors two essay contests, one for elementary and one for high school students. The first is the DAR American History Essay Contest for grades 9-12. This year’s topic was “A Colonial Family’s Reaction to the Stamp Act.” March 22, 2015, marks the 250th anniversary of the Stamp Act. Passed by British Parliament in 1765, this new tax required all colonists to pay a tax on legal documents. The Stamp Act was viewed by the colonists as “taxation without representation.” The students were to describe a colonial family’s discussion about the new Stamp Act and what role it played in organizing the colonists against the British King and Parliament. The second is the DAR

Classic Dick Cavett returns to networks

I quipped ‘Did you like the book, The Godfather?’ That got a big laugh from the audience, and after he paused, he threw me that million-dollar Brando grin.” A huge Marx Brothers fan, Groucho Marx was one of Cavett’s early guests. “Groucho came on with his writing friend Harry Ruby, and it was pure gold. But that’s one of the early episodes that went missing, probably recorded over when studios reused videotapes. It still gives me bad dreams to think the tape might have been turned into ‘Let’s Make a Deal.’” Cavett became friends with Groucho but says that was an exception rather than the rule. He was also more than just a rival to one of his late-night competitors. “Johnny Carson and I were actually good friends,” said Cavett, who turns 80 in November. “About a year before he died, I had a wonderful evening with him at a restaurant, and we talked for hours about our shows and some of the guests we had over the years.” Many were among the greatest celebrities of the 20th century (see www. dickcavettshow.com). “People have been asking me constantly over the years if they will ever see all those full episodes of ‘The Dick Cavett Show’ on TV again,” he said. “Well, now they can.”

BY NICK THOMAS Tinseltown Talks The battle for late-night talk show dominance is nothing new to TV audiences. In the 1960s and ’70s, three prominent hosts sometimes went head to head for the coveted ratings bragging rights. “There was a time when Johnny Carson, Merv Griffin and myself were all opposite each other,” noted Dick Cavett from his home in New York. With the addition of “The Dick Cavett Show” to the Decades Network lineup at the beginning of February (see www.decades.com for schedule), the trio of former competitors are again filling late-night niches, this time as reruns on cable networks — Carson’s “Tonight Show” on Antenna TV since January and “The Merv Griffin Show” on getTV since last October. “We all had great, entertaining guests, but it was also a rough period for America — Vietnam, Nixon, civil rights and a bevy of assassinations,” Cavett said. “People seem to like the nostalgia of these old shows, even if it

After sending some jokes to then “Tonight Show” host Jack Paar, he was soon hired as a writer. Throughout the ’60s, Cavett continued to write for others, including Carson, as well as tackling stand-up himself, but eventually inherited his own daytime show at ABC in 1968. Known for his in-depth and well-researched interviews, enlivened with a touch of witty commentary, Cavett soon graduated from daytime to late night, attracting guests that competitors envied. “Fred Astaire rarely gave interviews

but wanted to come on my show,” Cavett said. “When he did, he danced, for God’s sake, and the audience went wild.” But not all Cavett’s guests were so obliging, such as David Bowie’s 1974 tense appearance in which the singer fidgeted with a cane throughout the interview. “He was the single most nervous guest I ever had,” Cavett noted. “I wanted to take that cane and throw it in the orchestra.” A year earlier, Marlon Brando’s appearance was a scoop, although the actor preferred to discuss the plight of Native Americans rather than acting. “When I asked for his thoughts on the success of ‘The Godfather’ movie, he mumbled that he didn’t want to talk about films,” Cavett recalled. “So

Edward Fort pets a Mangalitsa pig on his farm near Horatio. Curly-haired Mangalitsa pigs are native to Hungary. Their meat is highly prized by chefs and is known as the “Kobe beef of pork.” Fort raises the pigs organically and sells the cuts at Lenoir Store and Charlotte and possibly in Charleston in the future.

Heritage hogs in Horatio ‘Old school’ is new business for Fort farm BY SUSAN DOHERTY OSTEEN SDOsteen@me.com Pork is haute. At Husk, the famous pig-centric Charleston eatery, pork is in everything from butter to bread to Bloody Mary mix. It was named Bon Appétit’s best new restaurant in 2011, with a fried pig ear sandwich as the menu’s highlight. Mega chef Daniel Boulud helped Charcuterie leapfrog from tavern to fine dining in New York. Montreal’s foodie scene is continually dominated by Au Pied de Cochon, a gastropub with an impossible reservation list. And the phrase “bacon makes everything SUSAN better” is no longer a diDOHERTY etary preference; it’s a cliOSTEEN ché. Although South Carolinians have long been “Big on the Pig,” the most sought-after swine now are the heritage breeds. Gourmands in America have discovered what Europeans accept as common knowledge: A better pig simply tastes better. Edward Fort of Fort Family Farm in Horatio is making a business raising rare and heritage breed swine. “Heritage pork, raised on pasture, is a slow process resulting in superb pork products,” Fort said. “In our rotational grazing system, we use no growth hormones, medications or antibiotics of any kind whatsoever. This type of agriculture is good for our local economy, the environment and our supper table.” Tucked in a quiet corner of Sumter County, Fort Family Farm is nestled between the High Hills of the Santee and the Wateree River. The beautiful farmland is actually a reclaimed gravel mine. Fort, originally from Hartsville, purchased the land in 2014 with the intention of using it to hunt dove. But as a lifelong agribusiness man, he felt the land should be profitable. His first intention was to run cattle on the 1,500

But Fort doesn’t raise your average grocery store-variety hog. He specializes in Berkshire, Large Black and Mangalitsa. Berkshire and Large Black are recognized as heritage breeds and are featured regularly on high-end and farm-to-table restaurants. Mangalitsa, however, is such an obscure breed it is not yet officially recognized by the Livestock Conservancy of America. The first herd of Mangalitsa hogs was brought to America from their native Hungary in 2007. They are covered in curly hair, and their unusual fur gives them a sheep-like appearance. They have a sweet, docile disposition. Many of Fort’s animals will roll over like a dog to have their bellies scratched. Fort became interested in the breed after reading an article in Forbes magazine about a Wall Street tycoon who had left New York to raise Mangalitsa pigs. The pork has become a cult favorite of chefs, some who claim the breed’s flavor and texture rivals Ibérico, the “Holy Grail” of Spanish ham. Mangalitsa do not produce large hams, and it takes nearly twice as long to go from “farrow to finish,” Fort said. But the payback is a meat that is darker and more marbled. The pork sells at a premium, and the fat is prized by pastry chefs who call it “Mangalitsa butter.” Although it takes longer to raise a Mangalitsa hog, they are quite suited for pasture life. At Fort Family Farm, they are raised in 10-acre paddocks and rotated every two weeks. The pastures are seeded with perennial clover, wheat, rye, collards and kale, but the pigs also graze on native plants such as wild plum. High-

his was not good. I was worried that the fire was on the verge of getting out of control. There had been practically no wind, but the flames were roaring now, and the fire seemed to be creating it’s own wind. Suddenly, a violently rotating vortex of flame rose like a twister or tornado into the sky — 20-, 30-, 40-feet high. It was a monster, and it seemed to have a Dan life of it’s own. Geddings I had never seen OUTDOORS anything like this, and I really didn’t know what would happen. My mind was racing, “Would it jump my firebreak? And what could I do to stop it?” I had bush-hogged this section of a power line in Saluda County, which was a little more than an acre, about a week before. It was warm and the cuttings had dried out on this gentle hillside. My brother Matt and I had come back to prep the area for a client who wanted a wildlife food plot established here. We decided to burn the area to remove the accumulated debris before plowing. I called the Forestry Commission, gave them the burn plan, and got the go ahead before we started. I plowed a wide firebreak down both sides of the power line for about 500 feet, and another firebreak across at the bottom of the hill. I used the sandy road at the top of the hill as a natural break to the targeted area. Matt and I set the fire along the road. There was just a slight breeze coming up the hill and the little backfire moved slowly down the hill against the wind. We went down each side setting fires that connected with the main line moving down the hill creating an arc of fire across the power line. When our sideline fires were set all the way to the end, the arc of fire was about halfway down the hillside. Everything looked good, so I decided to go ahead and set the headwind fire across the bot-

Sitting on the tractor watching the burn, I became alarmed as the fire intensified coming up the hill. I realized that maybe we had set the headwind line too soon, and perhaps I had underestimated the amount of fuel on the ground. I also didn’t realize that the fire, when pushed uphill by a small breeze, could pull in more oxygen and create it’s own wind. The result was a briefly raging inferno that created a whirlwind of flame. That tornado of fire came roaring up the hillside, but almost as suddenly as it formed, it fizzled and went out. It’s fuel was gone when it met the backfire. Only white smoke rose now from the blackened earth. I was shaken, and just as a precaution, I plowed around the burned area again, looking for any errant live embers or sparks. Matt was walking down the hillside with a shovel, looking for the same thing. We stopped at the bottom of the hill and talked excitedly about the burn. Never had we seen a fire tornado, and hadn’t expected to see one here. The intensity of the relatively small fire surprised us. I had been doing controlled, or prescribed burns for years. But

Freshwater Report Santee Cooper System Not a great time to be on the lakes with the high inflow, muddy conditions and cold temps. Slow reports for crappie, catfish and bass. Midlands area Lake Wateree Crappie: Improving. Once the water settles down, the crappie bite should be on since fish haven’t had a good opportunity to feed recently. While the river run is a traditional place to fish at this time of year, with so much current coming down the lake it will be a while before anglers can keep bait down there and so the first place be looking in the creeks. Expect Beaver Creek to clear early, and with dropping water temperatures the bite should get right there first. Fish in 6-9 feet of water, and tight-lining (pushing) will be the name of the game. Fish Stalker 2-inch Slab Tail Jigs in Ugly Green, Yellow and Orange colors will be good as they are highvisibility. Lake Greenwood Bass: Fair to good. Muddy water can often kill a winter bite. Fish can be caught around laydowns, but the best fishing has been around rocky banks and other hard cover such as boat ramps. The best shallow areas have been in the back of creeks and coves, probably because of annual bait migration patterns that still have the bait in the creeks. As would be expected in the muddy conditions, big white and chartreuse spinnerbaits are fishing well. Jigs and crankbaits in highly visible colors such as chartreuse and black backs, or red, are also working well. The cold front might push fish a bit

deeper, but with conditions still so muddy he doesn’t expect fish to go very deep. They might move onto slightly deeper docks but should probably stay in the same area. Lake Monticello Catfish: Good. Anchoring on main lake humps and points with steep ledges is most effective for putting big blue catfish in the boat; being patient and staying in one spot for a while can really pay off. Cut gizzard shad, big threadfin shad, and white perch seem to be the best baits. Lake Murray Crappie: Slow. Some results reported by tightlining. Go shallower in the afternoon when the water warms up. Some can be found on deep brush around 20 feet. Use jigs or minnows very slow. Fish can be hard to find in deep water, so look at the mouths of creeks that split off from the main river in 12-15 feet. Striper: Fair. Check down the lake in the back of the big creeks. Some schooling reported up the river. Use freelining with live bait. Piedmont Area Lake Russell Bass: Fair to Good. Fish were recently grouped up in 20-40 feet of water in the middle to backs of the creeks, but as temperatures dropped they moved into 60-80 feet of water at the mouths of creeks and stacked up on deep flats. Utilize drop shots and jigging spoons he expects to catch 100 or more fish in a day. It’s anyone’s guess what the next few weeks will bring with plenty of rain and at least some balmy weather in the extended forecast. Lake Thurmond Striped and hybrid bass: Good. Captain William Sasser reports that striped bass seem similarly unaffected by fluctuating water conditions as the bass. Fish bit right through the wild, running current when all of the water was

that incident in Saluda County made me realize that I needed to learn more about managing burns, and I contacted South Carolina Forestry Commission for help. The Forestry Commission offers a Prescribed Fire Managers course to land managers, professional contractors, and service providers. It is not a course for beginners, and requires a minimum of five years of verifiable experience. I took the training and received certification as a Prescribed Fire Manager. The certification offers some protection from liability as long as the burns are approved and conducted properly. Prescribed fire is a good management tool. Most are low intensity, cool season burns that reduce fuel loads and release nutrients back into the soil. It is the most cost effective practice for land managers to maintain wildlife habitat, and keep forest land healthy and productive. I’ve conducted many more controlled burns, and have avoided making any more fire tornadoes since that day in Saluda County. Dan Geddings is a weekly columnist for The Sumter Item.

running through the lake, and if anything the action seemed to excite the fish. Right now fish are being caught all over the place on Clarks Hill, and the last few outings William has been concentrating on 25-30 feet of water off main lake points on the lower part of the lake. Fishing down-lined live herring right on the bottom has been effective for striper and hybrids. Lake Wylie Largemouth Bass: Slow to fair. Fish have moved deep due to cold temperatures. Try grubs for bait. If you get a sunny day then move to the flats near the creek channels. If the lake is muddy then use a spinnerbait or rattletraps. Mountains Area Lake Hartwell Catfish: Fair to good. This time of year blue catfish have moved up shallower and into the creeks this January, and when conditions permitted you can catch some pretty good numbers of 8-12 pound blues on cut herring. Drifting in 15-30 feet of water has been pretty effective, and if anglers could find a shore that was possible to pull up on they could probably do well anchoring baits at the same depth. The wind has been periodically strong so that anchoring a boat in open water has been tough. Cut herring, cut shad, or most any other fresh cut bait is working. Striped Bass: Slow to fair. Captain Bill Plumley reports that fishing has been pretty tough for striper, but some fish have been caught on jigging spoons. Anglers should first mark fish on the bottom, and then drop a spoon down and expect plenty of white perch to be mixed in with the catch. In the afternoon when temperatures warm up marginally some fish have also been caught on free-lined live herring. Lake Keowee Bass: Fair. Until the very recent cold snap this action could be found throughout the day, both in overcast and sunny conditions. Fish could also be found on the surface over deep water as

The benefits of prescribed fire in the Southern “pineywoods” are many and varied, and because of the passion of folks who love and believe in these legal and carefully planned controlled fires and their results, they are becoming increasingly well-known and appreciated, according to a wildlife biologist and forester with S.C. Department of Natural Resources. Johnny Stowe, a Heritage Preserve manager with DNR, and also a certified wildlife biologist and forester, said the benefits of prescribed fire are many. These benefits include: reducing fuel loads that would otherwise create potential for dangerous wildfires; limiting damage from disease and insect pests; creating, restoring, or enhancing habitat for wildlife and desirable plant species while yielding aesthetically pleasing landscapes; and preserving the ancient and multi-cultural tradition, ritual, and heritage of woods-burning as a landscape management tool. According to Stowe, prescribed fire can also be used to prune and thin in stands of longleaf pine. The ability of fire to kill or topkill hardwoods such as red maple, sweetgum, water oak and other species that are generally undesirable in longleaf woodlands and savannas is well known. Less well known is the artful use of fire to prune the lower limbs of young longleaf pines; to reduce the number of trees in longleaf stands that are too dense; and to remove other pine species, particularly loblolly, from these stands. For more information on prescribed burning, visit South Carolina Prescribed Fire Council at www.clemson.edu/extension/pfc/index.html.

Governor proclaims March as Prescribed Fire Awareness Month Governor Nikki Haley has proclaimed March 2016 Prescribed Fire Awareness Month in South Carolina. A coalition of state, federal and nongovernmental land management organizations under the umbrella of South Carolina Prescribed Fire Council, including S.C. DNR, requested the proclamation to raise awareness of the essential role that fire plays in both the stewardship of our natural resources and the protection of lives and property.

well as in the shallows. While the surface pattern will probably wane as the water starts to approach more normal winter temperatures, the deep/ drop-shot pattern will get stronger and stronger. As is typical finesse worms fished on dropshot rig are accounting for the greatest number of his fish, but small spoons have also been catching bass. Lake Jocassee Bass: Slow Largemouth bass can be caught on Lake Jocassee in January and February, but Guide Rob McComas says that he typically spends relatively little time targeting them at this time of year. When Rob is able to target smallmouth he likes to go after them, and the winter months are the most consistent smallmouth bass season on Jocassee. For the next month or two Rob says that he will chiefly be targeting brown fish on the lake. Pursuing smallmouth in January and February means fishing off steep points and bluff walls, and that can mean fishing in the main lake or in the rivers. The Whitewater River has some good steep points and bluff walls, and he will be fishing anywhere that has the structure he is looking for. The bait of choice for Rob is a float n fly rig, and he is usually fishing it 12-20 feet deep.

Find out more about popular marine species at: www.dnr.sc.gov/ marine/species/index.html. Saltwater Little River No report. Grand Strand Inshore: Before the cold temps, trout and redfish were both feeding pretty well around the jetties and inside the

Inlet. Both live bait and artificial shrimp were catching fish, but the cold weather seems to have slowed things down. Some sheepshead are also around at the jetties and a few juvenile flounder are still being caught inshore. Charleston Offshore: Solid bottom fishing reports continue to come in when the wind has allowed boats to get out and the best part is that with the colder weather they don’t have to go as far to find good fishing. Sea bass, triggerfish, and b-liners have been found in good sizes and numbers in anywhere from 60-90 feet of water using squid, cigar minnows, and an assortment of styles of jigs. The few boats that have gone way offshore reports some nice wahoo still hanging around in 150-300 feet of water and some blackfin tuna in the same depths. The best wahoo reports came from those anglers high-speed trolling. Beaufort-Hilton Head Spottail Bass: Good. Fish are grouped up in large schools. This time of year you need to be subtle in your presentations with the clear water, and on spinning tackle throw as light a jig as you can throw around creek mouths and flats where fish should be sitting. Small paddle tail grubs in light or bright colors - not dark colors - are a good option, as are Gulp! Shrimp. Small #4 and #6 flies in light colors, such as tan kwan flies, are good on fly gear. On the incoming tide fish will be a bit shallower when the mud is warm, and on dropping tides fish will hold a bit deeper. It is worth remembering to throw to the edge of schools to avoid spooking fish. Away from the flats, some fish can also be caught around deep holes and trees.
