Shaw expo brings back memories 2-day event also celebrates veterans BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com The weather on Saturday cleared up to reveal the blue sky, making for a great day of aviation performances during “Thunder over the Midlands” at Shaw Air Force Base. The air expo also comes to Shaw during the base’s 75th anniversary. The thousands of visitors got a first hand look at the Smoke-n-Thunder Jet Car, U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army aircraft combat demonstration, the Thunderbirds Air Demonstration Squadron as well as a chance to support the nation’s military personnel and veterans. Mike Walsh traveled to Sumter from Greenville to attend the expo with his girlfriend and one of his friends on Saturday. Walsh said he has loved aviation for about 31 years, since he saw the Thunderbirds perform. KEITH GEDAMKE / THE SUMTER ITEM

Local cancer survivor praises caregivers She thanks them for getting her through ‘humbling experience’ BY RICK CARPENTER rick@theitem.com When April Geddings walked in the Relay For Life of Sumter County six years ago, she had no idea she would be donning a purple cancer survivor’s T-shirt at this year’s event. But in October of 2010, just five months after walking in that relay, she joined that exclusive fraternity that no one wants to join. First, a doctor diagnosed

her with stage I breast cancer. The next doctor upgraded that diagnosis to stage II. Then a third doctor elevated her diagnosis to stage III. “I told my husband, we’re not going to see another doctor,” Geddings said. “There are only four stages.” The National Cancer Institute rates stages of cancer from one to four. Stages one through three indicates the presence of cancer. The higher the number, the larger the cancer tumor and the more it

the body. After surgery to remove a tumor, Geddings went

through 16 rounds of chemotherapy followed by 32 rounds of radiation. Her treatments lasted more than a year. “I couldn’t have done it without my caregivers,” she said. At Relay For Life of Sumter County, American Cancer Society’s primary fundraising event, teams agree to have at

Red Cross hits blood drive goal BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com American Red Cross met its goal to collect 36 units of blood during the 6th annual Chuck Nesbitt Memorial Blood Drive at Sumter County Library’s main downtown location on Friday. The blood drive was held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in memory of Cpl. Charles “Chuck” Nesbitt who died after a head-on collision while on duty in 2011. Tonyia McGirt, Sumter Police Department public information officer, said the blood drive went really well and more than 60 people turned out for the event. It started off slow, but more people came by later in the day, she said. The blood drive was well

all gone very well. The events started on Monday with the 2016 National Police Week Golf Tournament at Sunset Country Club with more

than 15 teams competing. On Wednesday, local law enforcement and military personnel competed in the annual pistol match. McGirt said although the event was not open to the public, there was a lot of support from local officers. It’s been a great week, she said. Although she did not have an exact amount of how much money was raised during 2016 National Police Week events, McGirt said all proceeds will be given to CrimeStoppers which is important to the department’s work. Also, McGirt extended a thank you to officer Nesbitt’s wife and the events’ sponsors who helped out during the police week events.

Hot Pursuit 5K unites police, community BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com Ninety-nine people walked, ran, skipped or strolled during the 4th annual Hot Pursuit 5K, Sumter Police Department’s final National Police Week event. During police week, communities across the county celebrate and remember officers who died in the line of duty. Lt. Angela Rabon said the run is a also part of the Sumter Road Race Series. Rabon, who participated in the race, too, said the race is not only a way to remember fallen officers but to also push oneself to do better than the previous year. It was fun, she said. All money collected during the race registration will go to Sumter CrimeStoppers which is instrumental to the department, Rabon said. She said other communities have regional CrimeStoppers groups but having a group that solely serves the Sumter area allows all money raised to stay local. Marc Aleck participated in the race to support his wife, a detective with the police department, who also

Aleck said he and his wife have run the race since it started. It’s also a good way to get to see people you know, he said. The race benefits the community by showing support for local law enforce-

ment, Jolie Costello said. She said the race has also been a good way to meet members of the community, especially after recently moving to the area. Everybody needs to participate in the Hot Pursuit 5K every year, she said.

Two Sumter High School students achieve perfect attendance for 12 years BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com Two Sumter High School seniors have achieved a rare feat, never missing a day of school from first through 12th grade. Samoria Session and Brittany Bickford, both 18, are two of 42 public school students from the entire state to achieve the feat this year, according to South Carolina Department of Education. They are the only public school students from Sumter, Clarendon or Lee counties to achieve the honor, according to the department. Session, a Sumter native, said her parents always encouraged her to go to school, no matter how she felt. “My parents wanted me to have more than they had, so they really instilled the value of education in

me,” she said. “I would say that was my motivation.” Session said she never really thought about the fact that she hasn’t missed a day; she just did it. “I take it as an honor, though, not everyone has the motivation to go to school for 12 years without missing a day,” she said. Session is planning to attend Francis Marion University and major in nursing. Her ultimate goal is to receive a master’s degree in the same field and become a nurse practitioner, she SESSION said. Session is the daughter of Sam and Jacquelyn Session. Bickford said she realized her freshman year of high school that she had never missed a day of school and wanted to keep going.

“When people ask me how I did it, I just say my mom always made me,” she said, with a smile. Bickford said she was lucky she was never sick on the days she had to go to school. She plans on pursuing her associate’s degree at Central Carolina Technical College and then transferring to a four-year college. Her ultimate goal is to finish vet school and become a veterinarian. Bickford is the daughter of Stephen and Courtney Bickford. BICKFORD Sumter High School Principal Nicholas Pearson said he was proud of the two students. “It’s a huge deal,” Pearson said. “This achievement shows the students level of commitment to educa-

tion. It also is a testament of the parental support the girls have had.” State Superintendent of Education Molly M. Spearman said this was “a very unique accomplishment.” “To graduate from high school without missing a single day of school beginning in the first grade demonstrates remarkable dedication,” Spearman said. “I am proud that we are recognizing these students statewide. They took good care of their health and showed incredible passion for their teachers, classmates and personal education. They are wonderful role models to emulate, and I congratulate them for achieving 12 years of perfect attendance.” The students will be recognized with a letter and special certificate signed by the State Board of Education Chairman Michael Brenan.

Why is effective weight training important?

An Aedes aegypti mosquito is seen through a microscope at the Fiocruz Institute in Recife, Pernambuco state, Brazil. The number of pregnant women in the United States infected with Zika virus is tripling because of a change in how the government is counting cases.

Number of pregnant women in U.S. with Zika virus spikes New counting method thought to be cause

man, a UCLA professor of obstetrics who has been advising the California Department of Public Health on Zika issues, explained the change in method does not indicate a greater risk of infection. When he gets calls from patients, he said, “About 90 percent of what we’re doing is reassuring and calming people.” Only an estimated 1 in 5 people infected with Zika develop symptoms — fever, rash, joint pain, and red eyes — which usually last no more than a week. Initially, doctors recognized the connection between the virus and birth defects only in women who had suffered symptoms during pregnancy. But reports published this year indicate some pregnant women with laboratory evidence of a recent Zika infection — but who never had symptoms — have delivered infants with these defects. International health agencies have already been reporting Zika infections in women based solely on lab tests. Some experts have found it surprising that the CDC has been basing its official number on a more conservative case definition. However, CDC officials had voiced concerns that one kind of blood test is too

NEW YORK (AP) — The number of pregnant women in the United States infected with Zika virus is suddenly tripling because of a change in how the government is reporting cases. Previously, officials had reported how many pregnant women had both Zika symptoms and positive blood tests. In a change announced Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s count will include all women who tested positive, regardless of symptoms. There are now 157 pregnant women infected with Zika in the 50 states, up from the 48 reported last week under the old definition. Experts emphasized that there does not appear to be any dramatic actual increase of pregnant women with the disease in recent months. There was a spike in diagnoses in February and March, but relatively few new cases since then, according to CDC data that includes women who experienced symptoms and those who didn’t. The Zika virus causes only a mild and brief illness, at worst, in most people. But in the last year, infections in pregnant women have been strongly linked to fetal deaths and to potentially devastating birth defects, mostly in Brazil. The virus is spread mainly through the bite of a tropical mosquito called Aedes aegypti. It can be found in the southern United States, but there’s no evidence that they’ve been spreading the virus in the U.S. yet. All the 544 total cases in the 50 states so far have been people who had traveled to outbreak areas or who had sex with someone who did. Experts think mosquitoes on the U.S. mainland will probably start spreading the virus in the months ahead, when hot weather hits and mosquito populations boom. The sudden rise in the count of pregnant women with the disease in the U.S. may seem jarring. But Dr. Neil Silver-

prone to giving a false positive test reVisit sult if a http://www.cdc.gov/ woman was mmwr infected with a different but similar tropical virus. CDC officials on Friday said it’s possible the new count may include a few false positives, but they say the new count will offer a more complete picture of the effects of Zika in the U.S. states and territories. CDC says doctors should consider testing pregnant women who have been to an area where Zika is spreading, whether or not they have symptoms. Doctors also are encouraged to ask pregnant women if their sex partner has been infected or traveled to an outbreak area. The new counting “will give us a better idea of the correlation between a mom’s symptoms and the effects on the baby,” said Dr. Richard Beigi, an obstetrics expert at University of Pittsburgh. The agency also presented new numbers for pregnant women in the territories of Puerto Rico, American Samoa and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It rose to 122 cases from 65.

rom a young age we learn to imitate what we see. Unfortunately that can translate into undesirable results if unsafe actions are mirrored. All too often, individuals who are interested in weight training ask a friend for help or perform exercises by just watching what they see. Seeing an exercise performed is Missy not Corrigan enough to know how the exercise should feel or be done safely and effectively. Weight training can benefit people of all ages and may be particularly beneficial to individuals who are overweight or have health issues. Adults lose 5 to 7 pounds of muscle each decade after the age of 20, increasing risk for injury. Weight training has proven to help rebuild and maintain muscle mass even later in life. Not only is weight training important for strengthening skeletal muscles but also for keeping bones and joints protected. If you are just getting started, it is important that you work with a knowledgeable trainer that can help you learn the proper techniques and form to prevent risk of common injuries such as sprains and strains. As with learning anything new you must set a strong foundation. Start with perfecting the form before adding weight. You want to know that you are performing the movement correctly and can feel the targeted muscles working. Once you have that down,

‘Weight training has proven to help rebuild and maintain muscle mass even later in life.’ choose a weight that you can safely and comfortably lift 12 to 15 times and make sure you work through the full range of motion without overextending or stopping short. An important point to remember is that it’s not the amount of weight that you lift that yields the greatest results; it is your ability to perform the exercise correctly. If you ever feel that you are losing form or you have lost the connection with the primary muscle group that should be working, you should reduce the amount of weight until you can regain control. Muscular balance is key to a strong body. The human body contains more than 600 muscles that are responsible for movement. Neglecting one area of the body can lead to muscular imbalances that can eventually lead to injury or chronic pain such as poor hip mobility, knee or back pain. You don’t have to be an expert or a seasoned bodybuilder to lift weights or even reap the benefits. Weight training is for everyone because it is functional, meaning that it supports our everyday movements. If you pick up a bag of groceries, put a box on a shelf or even vacuum you should be performing exercises regularly that reinforce and support these common movements.

FORUM FROM PAGE A1 Candidates at the forum included: • District 36 State Sen. Kevin L. Johnson (D); • Candidate for Senate District 64 the Rev. Leon Winn (R); • District 64 Rep. Bobby Ridgeway (D); • Candidate for House District 64 Alexander “Herc” Conyers (D); • Candidate for House District 64 Mitch Ellerby (D); • County Council Chairman Dwight Stewart (D); • Candidate for Council Chairman Robert McFadden (D); • Candidate Probate Judge Margaret “Peggy” Jackson Sorrell (D); • Candidate for Probate Judge Peggy Knox (D); • Candidate for Sheriff Tim Baxley (D); • Coroner Hayes F. Samuels Jr. (D) (unopposed); and • Clerk of Court Beulah Roberts (D) (unopposed). Clarendon County Sheriff Randy Garrett (D) and Clarendon County Councilman A.C. English (D) did not attend the forum.

HOW WILL YOU BRING INDUSTRY AND JOBS TO CLARENDON COUNTY? Stewart said the county has many alliances that will help to bring jobs to the area. He said the county has a commitment to buy about 1,400 acres for a megasite for a potential industry. He praised the development board, the county’s industrial park and said there are several spec buildings available in the county for potential industries. “Jobs are extremely important. We are trying as hard as we can to bring industry into the area,” he said. “Especially, where we don’t have much industry, such as here in the northern end of the county. There are a lot of great farmland and timberland but not a lot of development.” Stewart said it is important to keep young people in the county after they get their education, to build an educated workforce.

Leon Winn (R), candidate for Senate District 36; Alexander “Herc” Conyers (D), candidate for House District 64; and Peggy Knox (D), candidate for Clarendon County Probate Judge, listen to the national anthem at the “Meet the Candidate Forum” held on Thursday at Melina Presbyterian Church in Gable. McFadden said a good education system is crucial in attracting industries. He said he wants to attract new industry, while reducing the tax burden. “It’s about growing things wisely, without taxing our citizens to death,” he said. “We can manage things better. We have to look at where waste is going.” McFadden said he would look at all the resources in Clarendon County to see where the best areas to bring industries are.

WHAT IS YOUR STANCE ON ABORTION? Johnson said the U.S. Supreme Court has already mandated law on the issue and that his responsibility was to uphold that law. “We have a bunch of men in the Senate telling ladies what they can or cannot do with their bodies,” he said. “The Supreme Court already has set a law. We can’t supersede federal law.” Johnson said on the religious aspect, the abortion issue was between the woman and “her god.” “We have some politicians who are strongly against abortion, but when the child gets here, they don’t want to offer any support to improve the

quality of life for that child,” he said. Johnson’s general election opponent, Winn, said he did not believe in abortion at all. “God did not make any mistakes; every life is ordained by God,” Winn said. “You don’t know who God is going to send down this pipeline. Life starts at conception. Everything on this planet has a purpose; every life is precious.” Candidate for House District 64 Conyers, a U.S. Army Brigade colonel, said that personally he was against abortion. “However, just like I can’t force anyone to accept Christ, I will never force my views on anyone else, especially when there are no exceptions made for incest or rape,” Conyers said. “I would never force my views on someone else.” Candidate for House District 64 Ellerby said “you can’t leg-

islate morality,” and he said that he was against abortion, but that a woman had the right to choose to make that decision. Ridgeway said he voted for legislation that bans abortion after 22 weeks. “I voted for it because at that point I’m not a Democrat and I’m not a Republican,” Ridgeway said. Ridgeway said that according to the Bible, abortion was not OK.

IF ELECTED, WHAT CHANGES WOULD YOU BRING TO CLARENDON COUNTY PROBATE OFFICE? Knox said her goal would be to look at all concerns and assess them and implement changes as appropriate. She said she would like to create “superior” customer service. Knox said she would also

want to implement a series of workshops to educate individuals on services offered by probate court. She said she would also like to create a flexible office schedule, including creating a half Saturday, once a month by appointment. Sorrell said she would like to see an environment of “compassion and where people feel comfortable.” She said she would like to upgrade the technology, including computer generated bookkeeping and receipts as well as take credit and debit cards. She also said she would also like to expand the office to perform weddings and notary services for the public. She said she would also like to provide training for potential personal representatives of estates through videos and brochures for potential users of the office.

IF ELECTED, WHAT CHANGES WOULD YOU BRING TO THE CLARENDON COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE? Baxley said he would like to see all deputies in the neighborhoods as “community action officers,” and not a special group. Baxley said all property crimes in the county are related to drugs. “People are stealing things, and they’re selling it quick, and then going to get their drug for the day,” he said. “I want to fix that by having more deputies in certain zones and keeping them there.” Baxley said he wants to create substations in Turbeville and Summerton and to take the money that sheriff’s office receives from drug busts and funnel it into youth programs. Baxley said he is about integrity, professionalism and moral standards.

Poll shows strong support for paid family leave CHICAGO (AP) — Time off from work to care for a child or relative is codified in federal law. Now, an overwhelming majority of Americans 40 and older want that time away from the job to be paid. An Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll released Friday said 72 percent support paid family leave. Democrats were more likely to back it, but Republicans also expressed strong support. Overall, support was stronger among people age 40-64 and among women. At least 19 states are considering paid family leave laws, but only three have active programs. New York, the latest to approve it, will launch its program in 2018. “There is a lot of interest and a lot of momentum,” said Ellen Bravo, executive director of Family Values @ Work, an advocacy group. “We hope that over the next five years a critical mass of states will win these policies.” Bravo said the state wins are paving the way for a federal law. The federal Family and Medical Leave Act provides for up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave for most workers to care for a newborn or adopted child or a spouse, child or parent who is seriously ill. A bill to make that leave paid was introduced in the Senate last year but has gone nowhere in Congress. Among the presidential candidates, both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have voiced support for paid family leave. Donald Trump hasn’t of-

Supporting Long-Term Caregivers The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, with funding from The SCAN Foundation, conducted a national survey of Americans age 40 and older. It finds that many Americans have experience providing long-term care to a loved one or expect to do so in the future. State programs to provide paid family leave for caregivers enjoy wide support and a majority say they would be comfortable asking their employer for time off under such a program.

Many Americans provide long-term care Forty-three percent of adults 40 and older say they are currently providing ongoing living assistance or have provided it in the past to a family member or close friend.

Many caregivers have to miss work to care for family members Two in five caregivers have to miss work to take care of a loved one needing long-term care.

Most caregivers provide care in their own home

There is no federal law that requires companies to provide paid leave

Nearly half of caregivers provide care in their own homes, and an additional 38 percent provide care in the homes of the recipients of care.

Only 3 states currently have laws that require companies to provide paid leave to care for a family member in need. New York passed a law that will go into effect in 2018.

Americans 40 and older overwhelmingly support paid family leave

Just under half (46 percent) of Americans age 40 and older anticipate that it’s at least somewhat likely that an aging family member or close friend will need ongoing living assistance in the next 5 years.

Americans age 40 and older are supportive of paid family leave programs, with more than 7 in 10 saying they support a paid family leave program of some sort.

Anticipate providing long-term care

Don’t anticipate providing long-term care

The nationally representative survey of Americans ages 40 and older was conducted by the AP-NORC Center between February 18 and April 9, 2016 with 1,698 landline and cellular telephone respondents. The results have a margin of sampling error of +/- 3.4 percentage points.

fered a clear opinion. “I support (paid family leave) because I feel that in the U.S., we need to realize that employees, or the workers, can’t really do the best job possible if you are worrying about a family member,” said Mary Jo Morelli, of the Detroit area. Morelli, 52, said she expects that someday she’ll need time off to care for her aging mother and in-laws who are now in their 80s. Paid family leave works like insurance and is funded via mandatory contributions from

workers’ paychecks. In New York, about $1 a week will be deducted. Workers

could receive a portion of their pay for up to eight weeks in the program’s first year. That will increase to 12 weeks, double what other states offer. Most workers use the benefit to care for a newborn or adopted child, according to data from the California, New Jersey and Rhode Island programs. Workers also can use it to care for an aging parent, spouse or other relative. About a quarter of older workers who support paid family leave said they would be hesitant to ask for time off. Of those, nearly half worried it would negatively affect their future salary or promotion opportunities. About 4 in 10 said they felt pressured by employers not to take time off. “Workers are, and for good reason, nervous about retaliation from their employer,” said Ruth Milkman a sociology professor at the CUNY Graduate Center who has studied paid family leave. Some people also cited the need for their full salary. Farmworker Adan Lopez said he supports the law but it would be impossible to live on just 55 percent of his wages, the

benefit in California. He makes about $500 per week and the rent for a two-bedroom apartment in Salinas, California, is about $1,800 a month. During lean times, he said, his family is forced to share an apartment with others. California will raise its weekly benefit in 2018 to 60 percent or 70 percent of wages, depending on earnings. The state also is pushing to increase awareness of the decade-old program. The AP-NORC poll found that about 44 percent in California had not heard of the law. In New York, advocates are working with state officials to educate people, especially lowincome residents and minorities, about paid family leave. “Passing the law was step one,” said Dina Bakst, cofounder of A Better Balance: The Work and Family Legal Center. The poll also found overwhelming support for policies to help caregivers with longterm care costs. Eighty-three percent support tax breaks for caregivers and 73 percent favor a credit toward Social Security benefits for caregivers who take time off work.

Smoke, cockpit woes signal finale for EgyptAir plane

RICK CARPENTER / THE SUMTER ITEM

Chris and April Geddings walk the caregivers’ lap at Relay For Life of Sumter County. At the Relay, survivors, donning purple T-shirts, walk the first lap. Caregivers join the survivors on the second lap.

RELAY FROM PAGE A1 least one team member walking the track for the duration of the event, this year from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. Cancer survivors traditionally walk the first lap together. In the second lap, survivors’ caregivers walk with them. Geddings’ husband, Chris, a Sumter Fire Department engineer, strolled the second lap with her, arm in arm. Geddings was diagnosed at age 34 when she had two children. “My world stopped in a heartbeat,” she said. “I didn’t know what to do, but every step of the way, God opened doors for us.” She said Chris was there for her the whole time, “as solid as a rock.” At one point, after her third chemo treatment, she had a bad experience and told Chris she was done with chemo. “I’m not taking any more,” she proclaimed. Although she was kidding, Chris wasn’t sure. He thought he had to convince her to move forward with the prescribed treatment. “You get through it because of the people at your side along the way,” Geddings said. Geddings has taught first grade at Alice Drive Elementary for 17 years. After her diagnosis, fellow faculty and staff rallied around her by holding fundraisers to help offset her medical bills. Ditto for Sumter Fire Department. The fundraisers ended up

FARM AID FROM PAGE A1 Among the qualifications needed to receive a grant, farmers must have a United States Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency issued farm number and be able to demonstrate at least a 40 percent crop loss as a result of the flood; documentation of crops and acres planted as well as loss will be required. Applicants must also sign an affidavit verifying their information.

RELAY FOR LIFE OF SUMTER COUNTY Goal: $143,000 Raised so far: $119,000 Donations accepted through Aug. 31 Where to donate: www. relayforlife.org/sumtersc Most money raised: Crestwood Curesaders: $9,881 Alice Drive Elementary Raised so far: $6,090 Number of Teams Participating: 60

paying for all of her out-ofpocket expenses of the more than $1 million medical bill. On Friday, she said she had to build up courage to attend the relay as a survivor because she knew it would bring up many emotions that she didn’t know how she would handle. Geddings walked the first lap with co-worker Kimberly Conyers, a para-professional kindergarten aid at Alice Drive Elementary who survived two bouts with cancer in the last 30 years. During the lap, they laughed, hugged, cheered and celebrated. Luminarias with cancer victims’ and survivors’ names on them line the inside of the track. When she saw one with her name on it, she paused. “It’s such a humbling experience to survive cancer,” Geddings said. “Especially when you know that others went through what you fought through and didn’t survive.”

“It is our goal to administer this program as quickly and efficiently as possible because we recognize the immediate need of South Carolina farmers,” said Hugh Weathers, commissioner of agriculture. The release advised farmers to watch for more information in the next few weeks from local offices of the USDA, Clemson Extension and South Carolina Farm Bureau. More information will also be available at www.agriculture.sc.gov and in the S.C. Department of Agriculture’s Market Bulletin.

CAIRO (AP) — Leaked flight data showing trouble in the cockpit and smoke in a plane lavatory are bringing into focus the chaotic final moments of EgyptAir Flight 804, including a three-minute period before contact was lost as alarms on the Airbus 320 screeched one after another. Officials caution it’s still too early to say what happened to the aircraft — France’s foreign minister said Saturday that “all the hypotheses are being examined” — but mounting evidence points to a sudden, dramatic catastrophe that led to its crash into the eastern Mediterranean early Thursday. The Egyptian military on Saturday released the first images of aircraft debris plucked from the sea, including personal items and damaged seats. Egypt is leading a multi-nation effort to search for the plane’s black boxes — the flight data and cockpit voice recorders — and other clues that could help explain its sudden plunge into the sea. “If they lost the aircraft within three minutes, that’s very, very quick,” said aviation security expert Philip Baum. “They were dealing with an extremely serious incident.” Authorities say the plane lurched left, then right, spun all the way around and plummeted 38,000 feet into the sea — never issuing a

distress call. The Facebook page of the chief spokesman for Egypt’s military showed the first photographs of debris from the plane, shredded remains of plane seats, life jackets — one seemingly undamaged — and a scrap of cloth that might be part of a baby’s purple-and-pink blanket. The spokesman, Brig-Gen. Mohammed Samir, later posted a video showing what appeared to be a piece of blue carpet, seat belts, a shoe and a white handbag. The clip opened with aerial footage of an unidentified navy ship followed by a speedboat heading toward floating debris. Flight 804 left from Paris’ Charles de Gaulle Airport on Wednesday night en route to Cairo with 66 people aboard. Greek officials say at 2:24 a.m. local time the flight entered the Athens sector of Greek airspace. Twenty-four minutes later, controllers chatted with the pilot, who appeared to be in good spirits. In Greek, the pilot quipped: “Thank you.” At 3:12 a.m., the plane passed over the Greek island of Kasos before heading into the eastern Mediterranean, according to flight data maintained by FlightRadar24. Less than 15 minutes later, about midway between Greece and Egypt, a sensor detected smoke in a lavatory and a fault in two of the

plane’s cockpit windows, according to leaked flight data published by The Aviation Herald. Messages such as these “generally mean the start of a fire,” said Sebastien Barthe, a spokesman for France’s air accident investigation agency. But he warned against inferring too much more from the reading. “Everything else is pure conjecture.” At 3:27 a.m. Greek time, air traffic controllers in Athens attempted to contact the plane to hand over monitoring of the flight from Greek to Egyptian authorities, according to Greek officials. There was no response from the plane despite repeated calls, including on the emergency frequency. At the same time, a sensor detected that smoke had reached the aircraft’s avionics, the network of computers and wires that control the plane, according to the leaked flight data. Two minutes later, the aircraft reached Egyptian airspace. Alarms went off warning about the plane’s autopilot and wing control systems, suggesting serious structural problems. Within seconds, the plane fell off the radar (about 2:30 a.m. Egyptian time, which is behind Greek summer time). Air traffic controllers in Cairo sought assistance from the Egyptian air force to track the missing plane — to no avail.

SHAW FROM PAGE A1 It brought back good memories of seeing the Thunderbirds fly several years ago, said Michelle Yates, Walsh’s girlfriend. Walsh plans to enjoy as much of the expo as he can and will return to Shaw today for the final day of the event. Tony Williams, who served 22 years in the Air Force as an aircraft mechanic, said he also plans to attend both days of the expo. He said he really enjoyed all of the noise making aircraft on Saturday. Williams attended the expo his 8-year-old nephew, Tristan Cates, who said he could not choose which demonstration was his favorite. “I liked all of it,” Tristan said. Williams also said he is proud to be an American and proud to have served in the world’s greatest military. Other individuals who attended the air show to support the nation’s veterans and active duty military were the Disabled American Veterans Flight Team that is visiting Shaw to provide information to local veterans. Lynn May, DAV event coordinator and onsite media relations person, said the nonprofit’s mission is to reach out to veterans who need help with any aspect of life after service. “If we reach one veteran who did not know where to seek help, we’ve accomplished our mission,” she said. DAV Flight Team usually has a B-25 “Panchito” fly in to participate in the air show, but recent weather prevented the aircraft from making the trip down from Delaware. Hopefully, the B-25 will be here on Sunday, May said. She said B-25 planes were the pinnacle of aviation during WWII when the air crafts flew in the Doolittle Raid over Tokyo after Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. If the aircraft is able to make it to Shaw, the bomb bay doors will be opened and visitors can take a look at the bombs that have been signed by WWII B-25 pilots and mechanics during the years. For more information about Disabled American Veterans, visit the flight team at the Shaw air expo today or go to www.DAVFlightTeam. com .

COMMENTARY

Election disaffection

HARLESTON — On rare occasions, Americans coalesce around a common cause, usually following some calamity — a terrorist attack, a natural disaster or, say, during a presidential election. Take today. Or rather, take the past several months during which Americans have begun to face the likely probability that they’ll elect a president they don’t much like. Polls Kathleen suggest as Parker much, as do my own conversations with strangers, family and friends, from which I’ve deduced the following: When it comes to whom they’ll select for their next president, most Americans are stranded in a political no man’s land. Think of the movie “Cast Away” or the ABC series “Lost,” in which a plane crashes, leaving survivors to fend for themselves, and you’ll get the idea. Let’s just say, the jungle looms large, and no one is emerging as the leader who can clear a path. Metaphor off now: There’s no one to vote for. “What are we going to do?” people keep asking me. Obviously, the Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump bases are as un-confounded as ever. Hillary Clinton has her usual camp, including half of women voters. But a vaster number of people who identify as independent or moderate — or recently have become so thanks to the past year’s cannibalizing circus — are dissatisfied with both presumptive nominees. The adage that our presidential election is a nosepinching exercise — or a choice between lesser evils — doesn’t approach the rising level of ennui flooding the American street. I would characterize this larger constituency as also including people who, though they may lean left or right, suffer a greater repulsion to the political moment than to a single candidate, though there’s plenty of revulsion to go around. To the extent that the remaining candidates are central to the current environment of anger, paranoia and, in some cases, violence, all are equally unappealing. And, seriously, could we stop yelling? There is only one candidate for whom this middle bloc of voters could reasonably stomach voting. Given that Trump is such an unpleasant character and, by virtue of his own statements, unqualified to lead the most powerful nation

on earth; and given that Sanders wants to create a nation that most Americans wouldn’t recognize; be it resolved that the saner choice is Clinton (notwithstanding everything you hate about her). Hence the malaise that passeth all understanding. If only by default, Clinton holds the higher ground. That even many Democrats find her unappealing — and others wouldn’t like her if she reversed climate change, saved every beast and bog from extinction or ruin, and cured cancer with a single pill — is understood. As lightning rods go, she has no peer. Cavemen could have invented electricity had Clinton been nearby. Add to her well-known list of public concerns — a lack of transparency, perceived deceptions, those emails, Benghazi and the current FBI investigation — a potentially more damning development: Her pivot to the left. This was made necessary, of course, by Sanders’ anthem of class warfare; but as Clinton pirouetted stage left, she added another layer of doubt to the disenfranchised middle, gave progressives another reason to question her loyalty to their goals, and made it more difficult for Trump-repelled conservatives to consider her as acceptable alternative. One might wish that South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham’s quip about a contest between her and Trump were correct. More or less, he said that corrupt beats crazy every time. But even Graham has surrendered, locking arms in the Trump parade. “Party before Clinton” has prevailed as well among most of the stopTrump crowd, a fleeting movement among a handful of Republican “formers.” For Clinton to prevail over Trump, she’ll need to win over Sanders’ supporters, a dimming prospect at the moment, as well as the vast middle where mortals roam in wounded unity. But support among the latter depends on the answer to a tricky question: Is she really as liberal as she’s promising to be, or is she faking? Trump-leaning voters face the same challenge: Is he really as awful as he seems, or has he just been bluffing? Given the high stakes, a contest between a scheming fake and a dangerous bluffer inspires little confidence and possibly little interest in voting. To the plea — what are we going to do? — the correct answer is, of course, vote. The high ground may be more molehill than mountain, but it still beats the gutter.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR BERNIE REPRESENTS A FUTURE TO BELIEVE IN Bernie Sanders just recently won the Oregon primary by a significant margin, indicative of the fire still present behind his campaign. However, Hillary Clinton still retains a considerable lead in pledged delegates. Bernie Sanders represents the new era of left-wing politics, embodying strongly progressive values and shifting away from the more centered Democratic Party of past decades. The mere emergence of two “outsider” candidates on the either side of the political spectrum illustrates the loss of faith in the political establishment that the public has grown in recent years. Secretary Clinton, formerly First Lady or

Senator Clinton, commands a fiery campaign with both Wall Street and the establishment behind her. Who can stop her? Bernie Sanders rides on the fire and brimstone of a political movement. A movement backed by the working class and youth of America, embodying truly democratic and progressive values. While Hillary Clinton claims to be “Fighting for Us,” the mere fact that a political outsider such as Bernie Sanders could amass such sizeable support is largely analytic of that which the public desires. Senator Sanders is laying the foundation of a movement of the people, backed by the people, standing for the people. Secretary Clinton is backed by the most powerful political machine in the coun-

COMMENTARY

No, it’s The Citadel that is being treated unfairly T

he Citadel is not for everyone. South Carolina’s military college in Charleston cannot be all things to all people. In fact, its essence is that it is one thing to a few people. As an outsider who has never passed through Lesesne Gate, much less worn the ring of a Citadel graduate, that essence seems to be creating a corps. And, in doing so, leadership emerges that can help in all walks of life. Citadel cadets learn that life inside those walls is not about “I.” Or “me.” Or “my.” It is about a corps. This is why The Citadel was right to tell an admitted student that an exception would not be made for her to wear a hijab, or headcover different from the corps. She requested the exception in keeping with her faith. But this is not about faith. It is about a corps. It is not about freedom of expression or constitutional rights. It’s about a corps. It is not about

“an outdated tradition,” as defenders of the student claim. It is about a corps. In a corps, people give up themselves for something largDavid er. During Lauderdale World War II, individuals gave up a lot for something larger. Mothers gave up their sons. Citizens gave up sugar and tires and gasoline, and a nation of individuals formed a corps that defeated sick dictators who would have quashed our cherished individual rights. Those rights are so dear to us that people now claim rights that never existed. Like the so-called right to wear whatever you want to wear at a military college. That’s foolishness. A drill instructor at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island told me

‘But this is not about faith. It is about a corps. It is not about freedom of expression or constitutional rights. It’s about a corps. It is not about ‘an outdated tradition,’ as defenders of the student claim. It is about a corps.’

try, Wall Street, which stands only for its own profit. Hillary Clinton simply cannot — or will not — stand up against Wall Street. Hillary Clinton stands with them. The Democratic Party has never in its history been the party of small ideas. It endeavors towards the betterment of society in large proportion. Senator Sanders manifests the belief in these core values and understands that ideas like raising the minimum wage or guaranteeing healthcare as a right can be achieved. This is not a Utopian dream conjured up by Thomas More. This can happen. Bernie Sanders promises exactly that, A Future to Believe In. So then, who can stop the Clinton machine? The people. Senator Sanders stands for us. JOSHUA EASLER Wedgefield

his job is to break down the individual and then build him back up. A lot of socalled rights get trampled in there. Hair styles and dress come to mind. How about the right to pipe off at the military leader or engage in an intellectual discussion on the pluses and minusesof an order from a superior? Apparently, uniformity is key to the tricky job of knocking down individuals so they can be rebuilt as a corps. So now The Citadel is portrayed as insensitive, at best, for sticking to its mission of building a corps. The student involved said it was not fair. She always wanted to go to The Citadel, and now she must give up one thing if she wants to get another. And why is this The Citadel’s problem? It shouldn’t be. It is The Citadel that is being treated unfairly. Perhaps the courts will be called on to sort this out. So be it. But the bigger problem is that we have become a nation with individual rights on steroids. And our greatest moments as a nation, and as individuals, have always been when we give up ourselves for the person on our left and the person on our right. It’s the kind of thing military schools teach very well. David Lauderdale is an opinion columnist for the Hilton Head Island Packet. Follow him on Twitter at @thatslauderdale.

LAW ENFORCEMENT SHOULD ago, going west on Liberty CRACK DOWN ON SPEEDERS street near Swan Lake another Most drivers — particularly in Sumter — know what I am about to say … when is something going to be done by City/County Law Enforcement about the dimbulbs in this town that always run 10 to 30 mph over the speed limit? Today, I was going south on Guignard between Miller Road and Liberty Street when two vehicles — a gray pickup and a grey sedan — went past me, one right behind the other, doing at least 55 mph. They both ran the light at Calhoun and again at Liberty. Yesterday, on McCrays Mill Road, another one of these idiots — this time it was a black small sedan — was going west doing at least 60. Several days

small black sports car was headed west again at about 55-60 mph weaving in and out of traffic. In the above cases, they all went past me too fast for me to get tag numbers. I could see the driver in the pickup and she looked quite angry that traffic was holding her back; however, in the other cases, the windows were dark enough that nothing inside could be seen. This happens every day on every major road in the city and the county. Why isn’t more being done to stop the total disregard of traffic laws by a significant number of drivers around here? It seems to me to be as important as busting drug rings! GEORGE THOMPSON Sumter

Laurence Manning players start a dogpile after scoring two runs on a wild pitch in the bottom of the seventh inning to defeat Wilson Hall 4-3 and win the school’s first SCISA 3A state title since 2002 on Saturday at Riley Park.

by justin driggers justin@theitem.com Cole Hair saw the ball go the backstop. He saw it go near Morgan Morris near home plate as he rounded third base. “I didn’t see it hit him,” the Laurence Manning Academy junior said. “I just saw it go near him. Then I saw the ball go out of (my field of) vision and I just kept going.” All the way to a 4-3 come-from-behind victory over Wilson Hall and the Swampcats’ first SCISA 3A baseball state championship since 2002.

In a bizarre and somewhat controversial ending, LMA entered the bottom of the seventh inning trailing the Barons by a run in the deciding game of the best-of-3 series at Riley Park. Morris and Hair each drew walks to lead off the frame, with Morris’ coming on a 3-2 count. Taylor Lee then stepped to the plate to face new WH pitcher McLendon Sears. Sears’ first pitch went to the backstop as Lee took off out of the box and ran along the first base line. Wilson Hall catcher Daulton Dabbs retrieved the ball and fired it to home to try and get Morris, who was coming all the way

from second base. The throw kicked off the scoring Morris toward the LMA dugout on the first base side of the field as players began to move toward home plate to celebrate the tying run. Hair never slowed down and was waved home by head coach Barry Hatfield as the Swampcats celebrated their second walk-off victory in as many games and a championship to boot. “These kids have overcome so much,” Hatfield said. “Two-thirds of our starting lineup were JV players this time last year. I don’t think a lot of

No kidding: Exaggerator beats Nyquist in Preakness, spoils Triple Crown bid By RICHARD ROSENBLATT The Associated Press BALTIMORE — Exaggerator has finally beaten Nyquist, and it came in the Preakness on Saturday to end any chance of another Triple Crown. Seizing the lead at the top of the stretch, Exaggerator splashed past the tiring Kentucky Derby winner and went on for a 3 1/2-length victory over Cherry Wine on a raindrenched Pimlico Race Course. Exaggerator’s elusive victory over his nemesis came after four tough losses, including a runner-up finish to Nyquist in the Derby. Nyquist finished third. “I had a dream trip today,” jockey Kent Desormeaux said. “It was an amazing race and

Brooks Koepka watches his shot from the 10th teeon Saturday as Ben Crane, left, and Jordan Spieth head down the fairway during the third round of the Byron Nelson on Saturday in Irving, Texas.

Koepka survives bogeys, Spieth for lead at Nelson IRVING, Texas — Brooks Koepka knew all those spectators lined several deep along the fairways and around the greens were there to cheer for one his playing partners. Many of them were lugging around some of the 8,000 Jordan Spieth bobbleheads given away Saturday at the Byron Nelson or using hand-held fans with his picture. They also got to watch the third-round leader play. Koepka overcame two early bogeys and the huge shadow of playing alongside Spieth in his home event, shooting a 5-under 65 and matching the Nelson’s best 54-hole score at 16-under 194. He had a two-stroke lead over Spieth going into Sunday’s final round when they will be paired together again. “Doesn’t really bother me. I mean he’s got a lot of support which is cool to see,” said Koepka, describing himself as a chilled athlete. “He has grown up here. ... He should.” Spieth played his first PGA Tour event at the Nelson as a 16-year-old amateur six years ago. He is now the world’s No. 2-ranked player and his image is everywhere at TPC Four Seasons, including those treasured bobbleheads and on signage for AT&T, which sponsors him and this tournament. Playing in the final threesome with Spieth and second-round leader Ben Crane, Koepka hit his first drive way left on the way to

an opening bogey. There were birdies at Nos. 3 and 5, but Koepka followed with another bogey at No. 6 when he hit his first two shots into the rough. But Koepka was bogeyfree the rest of the day and took the lead with a 20-foot birdie at the difficult 405yard 14th hole. Spieth drained a 23-foot putt there to salvage a bogey after hitting his drive into the water and having to punch a shot back into the fairway. “Powerful. Fearless and powerful,” Spieth said when asked to describe Koepka’s game. Matt Kuchar (65), Bud Cauley (68) and Sergio Garcia (68) were tied for third at 13 under. Crane, who turned 40 in March, shot 72 and dropped to 10 under and in a tie for 11th. Even though Koepka played well enough to take a two-stroke lead, he felt like he hit the ball terrible and that his round “wasn’t anything to brag about at all” with the exception of the round-low 22 putts. “It wasn’t good today. It was kind of embarrassing,” Koepka said. “We both kind of hung in there, battled it out and we made some good, good key 10-footers.”

Jutanugarn takes lead in Kingsmill Championship WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — Ariya Jutanugarn moved into position for her second straight LPGA Tour victory Saturday, shooting a bogeyfree 6-under 65 to take the

third-round lead in the Kingsmill Championship. The 20-year-old Jutanugarn had three birdies in a four-hole stretch on the front nine on the soggy River Course and birdied three of the last six. She’s coming off a victory two weeks ago in Alabama that made her the first Thai winner in LPGA Tour history. Jutanugarn had a 10under 203 total. Second-round leader So Yeon Ryu bogeyed the final hole to drop a stroke back along with fellow South Korean player In Gee Chun and Thailand’s Pornanong Phatlum.

Langer charges into Regions Tradition lead BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Bernhard Langer surged to a four-stroke lead Saturday in the Regions Tradition. A stroke behind leader Kenny Perry entering the round, Langer shot a 3-under 69 to move to 12under 204 in the first PGA Tour Champions major of the year while Perry and others stumbled at Greystone. The 58-year-old Langer won the Chubb Classic in February for his 26th victory on the 50-and-over tour. Perry held the lead after each of the first two rounds but had a double bogey on the opening hole on his way to a 74. He and Scott McCarron, who shot a 72, were tied for second place going into the final round. The Associated Press

Warriors’ big men must come up big against Thunder By CLIFF BRUNT The Associated Press

The Associated Press

Cleveland’s LeBron James (23) and Golden State’s Stephen Curry may be headed for a second straight meeting in the NBA finals. This could be the start of a rivalry like Larry Bird versus Magic Johnson.

Curry vs. LeBron our version of Magic-Bird By PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press This is our Magic vs. Bird. Savor it. As the NBA conference finals head into the next-to-last weekend of May, LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers look unstoppable in the East, while Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors have their hands full out West with Oklahoma City. But make no mistake: this season won’t be satisfying without a finale that matches the King against the BabyFaced Assassin, a showdown that has been in the works for nearly a year. Ever since the Curry-led Warriors beat James’ shorthanded Cavs in the 2015 NBA Finals, we’ve all been looking forward to the sequel, one that had them both at their best. And, boy, this one couldn’t be setting up any better, assuming the Thunder realize this just isn’t their time. (Of course, it might their last, best shot for a title if Kevin Durant leaves in free agency, but let’s not digress.) Without question, Curry vs. James, Part II would have the makings of those monumental showdowns in the 1980s between Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, a rivalry that propelled the league to unprecedented heights. Their teams combined to win eight of the 10 championships during that decade, highlighted by three meetings against each other in the Finals. The Los Angeles Lakers took two of those series, forever giving Magic the upper hand over his fiercest rival. The stakes are just as high for Curry and James. Curry might be a two-time reigning MVP (this most recent one by a unanimous vote) and perhaps the greatest shooter in NBA history, with a range that stretches to just this side of Neptune, but he and his team still play with a bit of a chip on their shoulders. Clearly, that is directed toward all those who thought the Warriors were a bit of a fluky champion a season ago, the beneficiaries of James having to go it alone in the Finals after both Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving went down with injuries,. Not to mention all those old-timers who keep insisting that Golden State wouldn’t stand a chance

against Michael Jordan’s Bulls, even though the Warriors took down Chicago’s venerable record by going 73-9 during the regular season. Then there’s James, whose legacy is being firmed up each time he reaches the Finals. He’s been six times already, but only come away with a pair of rings — both won during his sojourn to South Beach, a Decision which unfairly earned him an almost universal scorn that still lingers. Never mind that he returned to his de facto hometown with the express purpose of bringing Cleveland its first sports title in more than five decades. Though clearly not facing the level of competition the Warriors are navigating on the other side of the bracket, the Cavaliers have been downright dazzling in the playoffs. They have yet to lose a game, sweeping both Detroit and Atlanta before blowing out Toronto in the first two games of the conference final. Cleveland is only the fourth team in NBA history to start the playoffs with 10 straight victories, going all-in to surround James with an array of weapons. There’s Irving, whose penetration creates space in the lane. There’s Love, who knocks down 3-pointers when the defense sags (and gets plenty of longrange help). There’s Tristan Thompson, who dominates the boards and sets up all sorts of second-chance opportunities. In the first two games against the Raptors, James has been the anti-Curry — connecting on 18-of-26 shots from an average distance of less than 2 feet. “I’ve got great teammates who are getting me open,” James said. “We’re just a wellbalanced, oiled machine. I always use football terminology. We play offense, we play defense and we’re great at special teams as well. You have to be able to do multiple things according to how the series or how the game is being played. We’ve been able to adjust.” It’s also time to adjust our perceptions of the King. Sure, Curry has become the charismatic face of the league, and rightly so, a thoroughly entertaining player who is much more relatable to the common man given his slender frame and more limit-

ed physical skills. And to all those geezers who insist on hurling insults — we’re now looking at you, Gary Payton — there’s no doubt that Curry was a worthy choice as the league’s first unanimous MVP. But James remains the best player, the first guy to grab if you’re building a franchise from scratch. And, outside of one very notable PR blunder, he’s done more than enough to be worthy of our cheers, too. He’s essentially taken a city on his back, intent on exorcising several generations of sports demons for the good people of northeast Ohio. The Cavaliers are joyfully going along for the ride. “I just think it’s the belief, I think it’s the commitment, and then it’s the sacrifice we’re all giving to one another,” James said. “We’re giving it all to one another. It works great when you’re able to do that. Everyone is feeding off one another.” Ditto for Curry and the Warriors. We can’t wait to see them in the Finals.

That’s now changed. Despite Nadal winning the Monte Carlo Masters for a ninth time in April and following up with a ninth success at Barcelona to equal Guillermo Vilas’ record of 49 career clay-court titles, he is in Djokovic’s shadow, even on clay. Djokovic has beaten him seven consecutive times since that 2014 final — crushing him in three sets in the quarterfinals here last year and beating him twice more on clay, most recently in the quarterfinals of the Italian Open. Enticingly, they could meet in the semifinals this year, which would be their 50th meeting and on Nadal’s 30th birthday — not that Nadal needs any extra motivation. Djokovic leads him 26-23 in head-to-heads and this is his equal-best winning streak against Nadal, having previously beaten him seven consecutive times — all of them in finals: six in 2011 and then the 2012 Australian Open. Nadal’s first-round opponent will be big-serving Sam Groth, an Australian ranked 95th. “He’s a difficult one,” said Nadal, who has never played Groth. “I know he’s going to be difficult to have breaks against.” Djokovic faces 100thranked Lu Yen-hsun while Murray opens against veteran Radek Stepanek, and Wawrinka has a tricky first match against hard-hitting Czech Lukas Rosol.

Last year, American Pharoah became the first Triple Crown winner in 37 years, and there were many who thought Nyquist would make it two in a row and become the 13th horse to sweep the Derby, Preakness and Belmont. The Desormeaux brothers have different personalities, and seem to enjoy ribbing each other. There were no family hugs, and no special celebrations. “I looked at him and he looked at me, and I got a fist pump,” Kent said. “That’s all we did.” A drenched crowd of estimated at what would be a record 134,000 saw Exaggerator end his losing streak in a big way. “It wasn’t like we felt we could grind him down,” Keith said. “We always felt we had an exceptional talent.” And now, it’s on the Belmont Stakes for Exaggerator. “We can’t wait to run in that race,” Keith said.

Bradley’s hit streak at 26 as Red Sox pound Indians 9-1 BOSTON — Joe Kelly pitched no-hit ball for 6 2/3 innings, Mookie Betts had a grand slam and a solo homer, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Cleveland Indians 9-1 on Saturday. Former Gamecock Jackie Bradley Jr. extended his majors’ best hitting streak to 26 games with an infield single. Dom DiMaggio owns the Red Sox record with a 34-game string in 1949. Kelly (2-0) came off the 15day disabled list earlier in the day after being out with a right shoulder impingement since April 20. He shut down the Indians until Juan Uribe broke up the no-hit bid with a double to the right-center gap with two outs in the seventh. Manager John Farrell pulled Kelly at 104 pitches. Kelly left to a long loud ovation. Tigers 5 Rays 4

DETROIT — Michael Fulmer struck out 11 over seven sparkling innings and Cameron Maybin, James McCann and J.D. Martinez all homered to lift the Detroit Tigers to a 5-4 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. Making only his fifth major league start, Fulmer (3-1) allowed a run on four hits and a walk. Drew Smyly (2-5) allowed a tiebreaking two-run homer by McCann in the seventh, and Martinez hit a two-run shot of his own off reliever Steven Geltz later that inning. Yankees 5 Athletics 1

OAKLAND, Calif. — Starlin Castro broke out of a slump with three hits, Carlos Beltran singled twice to keep up his recent tear and the New York Yankees beat the Oakland Athletics 5-1 on Saturday to win their season-high fourth straight. Masahiro Tanaka pitched seven innings to win Joe Girardi’s 1,500th game as a manager. Tanaka (2-0) allowed one run on five hits and had four strikeouts for his first victory since April 12. Castro was in a 3-for-22 funk before he reached on an infield single as part of New York’s four-run fourth. The veteran second baseman also singled in the fifth, and then doubled in Ronald Torreyes for an insurance run in the seventh. Royals 2 White Sox 1

CHICAGO — Lorenzo Cain hit a solo home run and five Kansas City pitchers combined to allow seven hits in the Royals’ 2-1 victory over the slumping Chicago White Sox on Saturday. Danny Duffy and Peter Moylan combined for six scoreless innings. Joakim Soria (2-1) worked out of a seventh-inning jam and Wade Davis pitched a hitless ninth for his 11th save in Kansas City’s second straight win over the AL Central leaders. Chicago has lost eight of 10. Twins 5 Blue Jays 3

MINNEAPOLIS — Eduardo Nunez homered to cap a fiverun rally in the eighth inning as the Minnesota Twins suddenly broke loose to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-3 Saturday.

Adames’ two-run shot to straightaway center field came after Tony Wolters singled off Melancon (0-1) to snap a 1-1 tie and another run scored on first baseman John Jaso’s error.

ST. LOUIS — Jedd Gyorko, Matt Adams and Yadier Molina homered and Mike Leake pitched seven scoreless innings and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-2 on Saturday.

It was Leake’s third straight win and first at home since signing with the Cardinals as a free agent this offseason. During that span, Leake has a 0.85 ERA. The Associated Press

Iris Festival celebrates

Shaw AFB’s 75th year IVY MOORE / THE SUMTER ITEM

A display in the foyer of the Sumter Visitors Center at Swan Lake indicates some of the features of the Sumter Iris Festival. The swan and irises for Swan Lake-Iris Gardens, the Green Man metal mask made by Axel Reis’ welding students at Central Carolina Technical College and the sign for Shaw Air Force Base’s expo this weekend at Shaw remind the viewer of the festival’s salute to the base’s 75th anniversary.

A variety of events, displays fills gardens BY IVY MOORE ivy@theitem.com

he Sumter Iris Festival observes its 76th year this week with four days of entertainment and activities in all areas of Swan Lake-Iris Gardens. Since

its official beginning in 1940, the festival has been held annually, except during World War II. And it all started with a bunch of discarded Japanese iris bulbs. Mayesville native H.C. Bland, a talented amateur horticulturist, who lived on the north side of the gardens, ordered Japanese iris bulbs and planted them in regular soil as he would bearded iris. When they failed to thrive, he threw them into the marsh around the lake and was surprised when they flourished. He planted more, and soon the lake in what is now called the Bland Garden was surrounded by the colorful flowers. Bland opened his gardens to the public in the 1930s, and A.T. Heath, then Carolina Coca-Cola Bottling Co. president, donated his south side gardens to the city of Sumter, with the proviso that only Bland would supervise its development. Officially, the Bland Garden on the north side of West Liberty

Street is Swan Lake, and the Heath Garden, or south side, is called Iris Gardens, thus the name Swan Lake-Iris Gardens. The Sumter Iris Festival began on May 24, 1940. Former Sumter Item garden writer Betsy Humphries noted that the festival was “the brainchild of one civic-minded person who had the idea and the perseverance to make it become a reality. J.J. Brennan enlisted the help of his service club, the Sumter Kiwanis club, and ‘Iris Garden Week’ became a reality. With every Sumter civic club assisting, ‘Iris Week’ was held, not on May 17 as planned, but a week later because of inclement weather. Since then ... the city of Sumter has entertained visitors from around the country and the world during the annual Iris Festival held over the

The yearly fund covers a variety of services which the organization renders to the communities, particularly to women. The banquet was presided over by Miss Priscilla Shaw, campaign head, who is one of the most prominent women in volunteer service work in the city. • Fall gardens, appropriately called “defense gardens” this year, are beginning to repay folks for their labor, reports Mrs. Rayle, Farm Security home supervisor for Sumter County. “Drop by Mrs. W.E. Elmore’s house in Concord community” said Mrs. Rayle, “and she can show you a garden of string beans, limas, okra, turnips, crowder pears and mustard.” Mrs. Elmore says she will have at least six vegetables growing in her garden until the first frost comes, and after that she will still have turnips and mustard. • W.H. “Bill” Clark, formerly head coach of Sumter High School, but now a first lieutenant in the U.S. Army, is now taking part in the maneuvers in the Carolinas and is stationed at Fort Bragg. Superintendent W.H. Shaw received a letter from Bill today in which he states that he is getting along fine, but believes he prefers the life of a coach to that of an officer. Bill was called for service originally to Augusta, Georgia. He was immediately shuttled to Fort Gadsden, Alabama, and then sent to Fort Bragg. He is with the 79th ordnance company D. At the present time he is with his company on maneuvers about 10 miles from Hamlet, N.C. • R.T. Brown, in charge of Sumter County’s enemy airplane interceptor posts, said today that Gov. Maybank would not have to worry about Sumter County being prepared for the coming tests. The 17 posts were the first in the state to be lined up and they are now equipped and ready for duty, he said. • The first meeting of the County Teacher’s Association will be held at Edmunds High School Thursday. E.R. Crow, principal of Columbia High School will be the speaker. Crow will lead a discussion on the re-certification of teachers. The Sumter city schools will serve as hosts for the occasion. • G.W. Parker, bookkeeper gone aeronautical, may be excused for that look of pride on his face in the photo provided. He is the first person to have received his private flying license from Sumter’s Municipal airport. G.W. began flying about 10 months ago, last December to be exact, and he soloed before the month was out. After that he took to the air every now and then. But it wasn’t until Bill Offey and Billy Lynam set up their aviation service at the municipal field that the bug hit Parker in earnest. • Asheville High School’s football team, unbeaten thus far this year, racked up another victory over a game but outclassed Sumter team last night. The score was 58 to 0. Asheville lost no time in getting off to a lead, the local eleven scoring early in the game. The winners kept possession of the ball most of the time and the Gamecocks never had much of a chance to show their offensive wares. 50 YEARS AGO – 1966 Aug. 15-21 Thomas O. Bowen, Jr., D.D.S., has opened his office for the general practice of dentistry. Dr. Bowen graduated from Clemson University in 1962 and was graduated from The Medical College of Virginia School of Dentistry in 1966. • Robbie Hynes driving a 1955 Chevrolet, captured his fifth win of the season at the Sumter Raceway Saturday night. Hynes took the lead on the eighth lap of the 35-lap main event and was never headed after that. Second place went to Robert Kirby also driving a ’55 Chevy. In the Jalopy division Pete Davis placed first followed by Dick Poling and Mutt Coker. • Ross S. McKenzie will serve as general chairman of the 1966 Sumter County United Fund. The campaign, which has a goal of $170,000 for the benefit of 22 health, social and recreational agencies in the county, opens Oct. 1. McKenzie, chairman of the Industrial Division of the 1965 U. F. drive, is vice-president in charge of the paint division at Southern Coatings and Chemical Co. A native of Congaree, he has been residing in Sumter for the past 23 years. He is a graduate of Lower Richland High School and the University of South Carolina and a two-year veteran of the U.S. Navy. • The Sumter Boosters Club kicked off its 1966 membership drive Monday night and set its goal for 1,000 members. The organization has been one of the big reasons for the success of the Edmunds High athletic program. Last year the club sponsored several out-of-town trips for Gamecock teams and put on two banquets. This year, with “Foots” James at the helm again as chairman, the club is looking forward to its best year ever.

1966 — Officers and program committee members of the Sumter Artists Guild are grouped around one of their works as they plan final details for an exhibit that begins Monday at the courthouse. Standing, from left, are Sam Fiorini, Bill Sakovich, Mrs. J.F. White and Mrs. T.J. Kirven. Seated from left are Mrs. Dick Harvin, Mrs. Roger Ackerman and Bob Jones. Penney the dog is seated in front. • Sumter tennis players gained a place in the sun at Rock Hill Saturday. Ken Lang of Shaw Air Force Base, playing for Sumter, walked off with the title in the men’s singles to post the most prestigious win for the local squad. Lang won the men’s singles defeating Charleston’s Frank Cooke in a three setter 6-2, 1-6, 6-2. • Practice was over and the members of the 1966 Edmunds High Football team raced off the field toward the dining hall at Camp Juniper at Cheraw State Park where the Gamecocks were prepping for the coming season. It had been a hot one (one coach said it must have been 105 degrees) and the boys were heading for a giant pot of ice-cold orange juice to get rid of the “cotton mouth” that comes from working in such heat. Head coach Steve Satterfield compared notes with his assistants on the players for a few minutes and then headed toward his cabin. “This camp is a good thing for the fellows,” said Satterfield as he walked. “It helps the boys get close and become involved in each other’s problems. They get to know each other and this is good.” • James Cuttino, a member of the State House of Representatives from Sumter County and a leading force in the establishment of a technical Education Center in this area, will deliver the principal address as the Sumter Area TEC graduates 55 adult students. • Promoters John and George Rowland do not promise race fans that they will see the same excitement Saturday night as they did last week. But every indication points toward one of the best nights found anywhere when 30 Jalopy and 17 Late Model Sportsman drivers go through their paces in the six event, 100 lap racing program at Sumter Raceway. The early model jalopies stole the show in one of the most spectacular events ever run on the local track. Things really got rolling when 15 cars piled up in front of the grandstand on the first lap of the Jalopy main. Of the 15 only four were beyond repair and had to be hauled away. • The newly organized Sumter Artists Guild has made plans to have its first public art show Aug. 22 through 27 at the Sumter County Court House. According to President Mrs. T.J. Kirven, there will be a large variety of paintings and art objects created by members but never before shown. Of these, many items have been donated for sale to the highest bidder. Proceeds go to the guild to help in its further organization. • Construction of Clemson University at Sumter has proceeded on schedule, and classes for the initial 100 students will begin Wednesday. A convocation at which Dr. Robert Edwards, president of Clemson University, and other dignitaries will be present will be held at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday before the classes begin. Dr. Sam Willis, director of Clemson University at Sumter, has advised that he expects approximately 100 students to matriculate and register on Monday. The school has a capacity of approximately 600 students and is fully equipped in all respects, including a modern language laboratory. The campus consists of a classroom building, science building, library and administration building. • Second Mill, which has been an unplugged, unsightly pond for over a year, may be ready to see better days. According to an announcement today from the local real estate firm of Henry P. Moses Co., one of the seven heirs to the property has bought out

the remaining sister for $45,000. Plans are being made by the Grimsleys to repair the dam to the pond, which washed out in March of 1965, and restore the water as soon as possible. A caretaker will probably be hired to maintain the property. 25 YEARS AGO – 1991 May 16-22 The plight of patients with Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome is posing problems for more than just the medical community, as Sumter County continues to have one of South Carolina’s highest AIDS case rates. Local ministers, health officials and community leaders met at Tuomey Regional Medical Center for a daylong conference on “HIV/AIDS: The Church Responds.” The problem has grown so rapidly in the past decade that many others who make up churches’ congregations could become victims. • The Sumter Elks Lodge has tentatively agreed to lease property to Sumter County to provide a public access at Second Mill Pond. The move is considered a key step toward getting Second Mill Dam repaired with federal funds and water impounded into Second Mill Pond, which has been dry since October, when heavy rains caused the dam to burst. In a letter written to Sumter County Council Chairman Ruben Gray, Elks representatives said they are willing to lease property to the county “for a period in excess of five years” and allow public access to the portion of the pond. • A possible compromise on lobbying activities involving lawmakers could signal progress in an ethics bill before the Legislature. The compromise floated by lawmakers on Wednesday would bar lobbyists, but not their employers from treating groups of legislators to meals or paying for entertainment expenses. In return, the employers themselves could wine and dine lawmakers. The employers would have to report how much they spent on lawmakers. • “Along the King’s Highway: Stateburg of Long Ago,” an exhibit of artifacts and photographs of Stateburg and its people, is on display at the Sumter County Museum through June. The exhibit presents a variety of items depicting the people, homes and churches in this western Sumter County community. Of special interest is a collection of artifacts collected by Bruce Mayer, a local treasure hunter and producer/director of South Carolina Educational Television’s show “Treasure Hunter.” • Voting is a right, a duty and sometimes in Sumter County a hassle. Local election officials, however, are hoping that Sumter County and the state government can come up with about $400,000 to make going to the polls in 1992 an enjoyable experience. “I really think voting interest drops off when you have to stand in line for two hours,” said Kim Dault, the county director of elections. Dault and the Sumter County Election Commission hope to replace the county’s punch card voting system with electronic voting machines by the 1992 general election. The system, they say, is faster and easier to use. • Sponsors of the Iris Festival issued a directive today to people leery of the weekend’s weather forecast: Attend scheduled events regardless of gloomy skies, because it’s not going to rain. “It’s not going to rain, absolutely not. We’ve already decided that,” said Danny Chandler, who coordinated Sat-

urday’s concert at Riley Park featuring BJ Thomas and special guest Rob Crosby. Unfortunately, weathermen don’t share Chandler’s optimism for sunny skies this weekend. This evening’s forecast calls for partly cloudy skies with a 20-percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Temperatures should reach 90 today and dip to the upper 60’s with light winds expected. • Mike Byce of Spartanburg won the 4A golf title, shooting a 3-under par 69 Friday to claim a 4-shot win over Lexington’s Jon Owens. Byce finished the two-day, 54-hole tournament at the par-72 Furman Golf Course at 5 over 221. Owens struggled to a final-round 76 to finish at 225. Gaffney’s Mark Payne had an 80 and was tied with three others at 229 in third place along with Justin Roof of Conway, Joey Bradley of Sumter and Perrin Powell of Spartanburg. • First Presbyterian Church will conduct a dedication service at 5 p.m. Sunday for its newly renovated sanctuary at Main and Calhoun streets. Pastor Jeff Aiken and associate pastor George Jacobs will preside over the service. Dr. W. Frank Harrington will deliver the sermon, “Dreams: How Do You Find Them.” The $2.6 million building project was launched by the church 22 months ago and included redesigning the sanctuary and adding additional seats, repairing the steeple, constructing a porte cochere, remodeling the basement, purchasing and installing a new organ and repairing the roof. • Hundreds converged on Main Street last Friday afternoon to have their taste buds tingled by some local delectables. Although it was hazy and humid, the weather held up for the Taste of Sumter, held annually as part of the Iris Festival, and its new partner, the Sip of Sumter. The events, two of many in the festival this weekend, featured some of the area’s best dining and drinking along a section of Main Street closed to traffic. • Mayewood High School junior Anthony Spann was elected as the state president for 1991-92 of the Broadcasters Association at the spring convention held at USC-Columbia recently. Anthony is involved in a variety of activities and clubs, including the National Honor Society, Model United Nations Club, The Sword and Shield (newspaper Staff), SAAD Club, Student Council, Academic Challenge, football and the Broadcasting Club. • When USC Sumter’s 1991 Commencement Exercises took place last week, the ceremony was a family affair for graduates Thelma Jo Price and her son, Jim. A recipient of the bachelor of arts in interdisciplinary studies (BAIS) degree with concentration in the areas of sociology and psychology, Mrs. Price said going to college along with her son was an interesting and enjoyable experience. • The Sumter County Museum will present “A Grand Evening” on Thursday in the drawing room of the Williams-Brice home. The program is being held to celebrate the restoration of the James H. Aycock square grand piano and to recognize the 30 men and women who volunteer at the museum. Clint Barwick, who will restore the piano, will discuss the piano’s history and the restoration process. • The next two weeks will be “more of the same” for the Rev. Ralph Canty and Sumter Attorney J. David Weeks. The two were the top vote-getters in the House District 66 Democratic primary and will square off for the Democratic nomination in a runoff election June 4. The winner of the runoff will face no Republican opposition when a special election is held July 9. • The Sumter High boys track team ran a good meet Tuesday in the 4A State Meet according to head coach Rutledge Dingle. Unfortunately, Spring Valley ran a great meet, and the Vikings defeated the defending state champion Gamecocks 83-65, claiming their third state title in the past four years.

REFLECTIONS

Item photographer Crowson chronicled World War II, China Late Marine’s photos considered to be classics

his issue of Reflections recalls a correspondence sent by the late

Heyward Crowson, longtime Sumter Daily Item photographer, while he was serving in the South Pacific during World War II.

Crowson left The Item in 1944 to enlist in the Marine Corps and saw his first major action on the island of Iwo Jima. The photographs he took of this engagement are considered classics by many fellow phoSammy Way tographers. REFLECTIONS Crowson was later shipped to Okinawa, where he found himself in the midst of one of the major military engagements of the Pacific Campaign. According to research, Crowson was in China when Japan surrendered there. His numerous photos of this historic occurrence helped chronicle this momentous event. Crowson wrote a communiqué to the Item in the fall of 1945 in which he discussed the lifestyle he encountered in China and in addition took several photos of the events occurring in the city of Tientsin as the war was rapidly approaching a close. The

article written by Crowson is reprinted here with a modicum of editing for length. “Seeing a city, for this a city of some 2 million, I believe, was quite a treat. After so many little islands, mud and water, ships and flying over thousands of miles of water, it was quite a treat, and to the guys that had been out here for a couple of years, well, it looked like heaven. We do not drink the water here but distill our own. Picture me flitting about taking pictures of everything: The Chinese junks and sampans, river boats, people; in fact, everything that looked like it would make a picture. The city is divided into concessions — Chinese, British, French, German and Japanese — with little curio shops full of silk. For instance, in the French bazaar building, one of the many shops had pure, top-grade silk, selling for $1, for a piece 1 yard wide and 8 feet long. “Having recently exchanged a few American dollars into Chinese currency, I bulge in every pocket. The rate of exchange here is 1,800 to 2,000 to 1. It varies every day. I grabbed a rickshaw, and when I arrived at a well-known restaurant, I paid the ‘taxi’ with a $1,000 dollar bill! “Inside the restaurant, I am shown a nice table complete with tablecloth, dishes, silver-

ware, glasses, which is as good as the best back home. The menu is in English, Chinese and Russian. My lunch started off with a soup called Borscht, tea, both before and after, as well as during the meal; salad, steak, potatoes, vegetables, bread, cakes and a dessert made up in a long dish, as follows — three scoops of ice cream was the base, assorted nuts were sprinkled over this, topped with whipped cream and fruit chopped as in fruit cocktail. I called for my check, and expected to be sued for the balance. I found it came to a mere $545 or (about 30 to 35 cents). “When I returned to the barracks, someone called me, I turned, and there was Carl Cummins. When my cap came down, I adjusted and shook hands. Then we went out and got someone to take this picture I have enclosed.” When Heyward Crowson returned home after the war, he rejoined The Item where he would “produce not only a body of work that helped readers gain a better grasp on the news, but also the raw materials that record a community’s history and shape the dreams and memories of its people.”

Lee County School District BISHOPVILLE PRIMARY SCHOOL ANNEX Mrs. Diane Kent’s fourth-grade science students have been creating energy in more than one way at Bishopville Primary School Annex. The students had the task to create electrical circuits as their school project, and they were successful. All students at BPS Annex were able to win a bike as an incentive during the SC READY administration. To be in the drawing for the bike the student had to be present on April 26, April 27 and April 28, display good effort on SC READY and have zero behavior problems on all three days. The drawing was held on April 6. Jemerra Gillard and Auntesy Kinlaw were both chosen and received their new bikes. Congratulations to our winners.

WEST LEE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL First-graders at West Lee Elementary School learned about ways to protect the Earth and keep it clean. They learned how to sort and recycle objects to help protect the Earth’s resources and keep trash out of our landfills. First-graders chose three service projects to help the Earth. They picked up trash around the school, made Earth Day posters to put in the school and planted a garden.

She lives here rent free thanks to Mary’s generosity. I pay rent. We keep all our food separate and eat our meals separately. We each have our assigned shelves in the refrigerator and cupboards. Today I mentioned to Sue that I was making meatloaf tonight, and before I could say I’ll save you a slice, she invited herself to help me eat it. I was so flabbergasted I couldn’t think of a response. She also told both of her kids and a girlfriend of hers who came over to visit that “we” were all having meatloaf for dinner. I didn’t realize it until the last minute. I don’t mind sharing once in a while, but I live on a fixed income. I had planned for the meatloaf to last the rest of the week for my dinners and sandwiches for lunch. I finally told her, just as the meatloaf was done,

FROM PAGE C2 been selected to receive the 2015-16 Air Force JROTC Distinguished Unit Award. Only 295 units of the units worldwide received the award, and the quality of the Junior ROTC programs in Sumter is evident by the award. The award recognizes Air Force JROTC units that have performed above and beyond normal expectations and that have distinguished themselves through outstanding service to their school and community while meeting the mission of producing better citizens for America. “Certainly many AFJROTC units are doing great things resulting in positive impacts in their schools and respective communities, but these units truly represent the best of our 889 AFJROTC and six NDCC (National Defense Cadet Corp) units worldwide. The cadets, instructors and schools are to be commended for earning their award,” said Bobby C. Woods Jr., colonel, USAF, and director of the AFJROTC. All of the JROTC units in Sumter School District are visible in the community. They provide the color guard at many events and provide countless hours of service projects at their schools and throughout the Sumter area. While it is not a requirement of the JROTC program that the students stay connected with the military after high school graduation, some of the students pursue a career in the military right after high school; some join ROTC in college; and others earn ROTC scholarships or enter one of the military academies. Many of the students take ROTC all four years of high school. For more information on the ROTC program at Crestwood, Lakewood or Sumter High, the public is asked to call the schools and speak with one of the instructors in the program or a guidance counselor.

CLEMSON — Stephen Patrick, a biochemistry major from Gable who graduated from Clemson University in December, has been awarded the 2016 Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award. The Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award is presented annually “in recognition of the recipient’s influence for good, excellence in maintaining high ideals of living and genuine and distinguished service to others.” Clemson is among 70 southern schools to present the award, which was named in honor of the first president of the New York Southern Society. “Stephen’s academic record is impeccable, but beyond that, he exhibits exemplary character,” said genetics and biochemistry lecturer Alison Starr-Moss. “He has a unique combination of academic and interpersonal skills, as well as breadth of research and leadership roles. He has been active in many organizations across campus, as well as dedicating time for volunteer and service activities. He is committed to pursuing a career in medicine, and his academic background, compassion and character will make him an extraordinary physician.” Patrick works as a lab manager for the James Morris Lab. He manages lab finances and leads self-directed research, while working on his own research endeavors. Patrick’s research focuses on drug discovery for African Sleeping Sickness, searching for inhibitors of a certain enzyme to kill the parasites that cause the disease. He and his team presented his research at the Drug Discovery for Parasitic Diseases in January. Patrick will begin training as a physician at the Medical University of South Carolina in July.

Some older couples stop short of getting married BY BETH J. HARPAZ The Associated Press Some older couples who want social recognition for their love relationships are exchanging rings, throwing parties and holding weddingtype ceremonies, but they’re stopping short of getting legally married to avoid complications with retirement funds, property and grown children. “It was important for our friends to know we were committed to each other,” recalled Dixie Reppe, 80, who wears a ring from her beau, Joe Pendergraft, 77, and refers to him as her fiance. “But the financial piece and the families — it’s a whole lot more complicated. We decided to keep those things separate.” The two live in adjoining apartments in Inverness Village in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Pendergraft bought her the ring after she visited him in Georgia. “He didn’t want people to think I’d spent time with a strange man in Georgia,” Reppe recalled with a laugh. Once word got out about their relationship, “we weren’t sure how well accepted that would be,” Reppe said. She needn’t have worried: Her girlfriends threw her a surprise engagement party, and there were a few other informal gatherings

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Dixie Reppe and Joe Pendergraft wanted social recognition for their relationship without the legal complications of marriage, so he bought her a ring and they attended several parties to celebrate their engagement. with Champagne, chocolate and friends, where they could introduce themselves as a couple. One benefit of formalizing a relationship this way is that it allows older couples to dispense with terms like “boyfriend” or “girlfriend,” which might be fine for 20-somethings, but can raise eyebrows among the 70- and 80-something set. “Most of the time we refer to each other as husband and wife just to keep things not so complicated,” said Shirley Sapp, referring to her relationship with Doug Oxen-

hardt. “If you go the other route, people look at you like, ‘Well what’s the deal?’” Sapp and Oxenhardt, both in their 70s, were widowed when they met, and each had two grown children. Those children were among 90 guests at their 2013 wedding ceremony in Missouri, complete with a pastor. “It was just like any other marriage ceremony, except we didn’t have the last sentence where the minister will say, ‘By the powers vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife,’” Sapp recalled. “He was a really cool pastor, and when we told him our story, he said, ‘Sure, I’ll do it.’” But while avoiding marriage may seem like an easy way to keep finances and estates separate, unmarried couples may still face some legal complications, according to Frederick Hertz, a California lawyer and co-author of “Living Together: A Legal Guide for Unmarried Couples.” Hertz noted that some states honor common-law marriage and will consider couples married after a number of years whether or not they got a marriage license, while other states allow unmarried partners to claim money or property “based on an oral or implied agreement.”

Memorial Day weekend.” Lynn Kennedy, chairwoman of the Iris Festival committee, said this year’s festival will focus on the 75th anniversary of Shaw Air Force Base with a comprehensive exhibit in the Swan Lake Visitors Center titled “Soaring Through the Decades.” Sammy Way, historian and curator of the Sumter Military Display, has assembled an exhibit of photographs, uniforms, documents and artifacts from each decade, 1940s to the present, related to Shaw. The exhibit includes both Ninth Air Force and Third Army. It will be open each day during the Memorial Day weekend. “We’ve got all sorts of things, even parachutes, and we expect to have a couple of Shaw pilots come to talk to visitors,” Kennedy said. The festival will open at 5:15 p.m. Thursday for the ribbon cutting and crowning of King and Queen Iris in the Heath Pavilion. Following that, Terence Lonon and the Untouchables will play for Taste at the Gardens on the Garden Street stage. The band plays a variety of music with an emphasis on rhythm and blues and Carolina beach music; Lonon performed with the late Bill Pinkney, whom he considers his mentor. Admission to Taste at the Gardens is $5 for everyone over 5 years old, and the numerous food vendors will accept cash for their dishes. The festival gets underway at full speed on Friday, with children’s activities and the Palmetto Health Tuomey Community Health Initiatives Free Screening for hypertension, cholesterol and diabetes, which requires a 12-hour fast. Kennedy said Just Kidding Around will again feature Palmetto Amusements and Games2U with laser tag, the Human Hamster Ball, blowups and mechanical rides. SAFE Kids Adventureland will have its safety program with a bike rodeo, informational displays, Kiwanis Kids fingerprinting and more. In the Alice Boyle Garden Center next to the Swan Lake Visitors Center, the Council of Garden Clubs of Sumter’s members have created designs based on the theme “Celebrating the Festivals of S.C.” Kennedy said Axel Reis and his welding students at Central Carolina Technical College have created numerous metal sculptures. She is particularly excited about the “leaf man” or “green man,” whose entire body is made of metal leaves. They can be seen on Saturday in the Bland Gardens. Last year’s parade proved so popular, the 11th Annual Shrine Day Parade hosted by the Jamil Streakers will again be held at night. It will begin at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Sumter County Fairgrounds, proceed west on Liberty Street, then north on Alice Drive, ending at USC Sumter. Sunday brings the Sumter Cruisers Show and Shine and continues the children’s activities and the Mary Hinson Flower Show. Talented performers, many local, can be seen on the Main Stage, the Dock and the Gazebo Stage Friday through Sunday. In the gardens, festival goers will be able to participate in myriad activities and view displays and demonstrations in all areas. “We’ve got the gardens full of vendors for merchandise and food,” Kennedy said, “and the arts and crafts section is just about full.” She said the Head Turnerz Classic Car Show has grown “so much, we’re putting them in the back fairway on the Bland (gazebo) side.” Also in the Bland Garden is Gateway to Gardening, with plants, including herbs, flowering plants and houseplants. Sumter’s Master Gardeners will be offering many plants, including Japanese irises, as well as general gardening advice. “It’s the perfect time to get plants for your summer garden,” Kennedy said. The Sumter Iris Festival, which is a showcase not just for the gardens, but also for the city and surrounding areas, is one of the most popu-

lar in the Southeast, Kennedy said. In fact, the festival has been named multiple times as a Top 20 Event from the Southeastern Tourism Society and was awarded a Top 100 Event in the United States by the American Bus Association. Santee-Wateree Regional Transportation Authority (SWRTA) will provide shuttle service from the Sumter County Civic Center to Swan Lake on the hour and half-hour. Admission to most activities at the festival is free; however, merchandise offered by vendors is priced and sold by them. For more information on the Sumter Iris Festival, see the website www.irisfestival.org and the special section in today’s paper. Copies of The 2016 Sumter Item’s Iris Festival section will also be available at Swan Lake-Iris Gardens.

Customers are emptying the shelves at Farmers’ Exchange before Tom, left, and Sam Tindal close the city landmark on Friday.

Longtime Farmers’ Exchange will close the barn door Friday BY RICK CARPENTER rick@theitem.com Farmers’ Exchange, which originally organized as a cooperative for shareholders in 1931, will close its doors Friday after nearly 85 years. John B. Tindal started out as a manager of the store in 1936, bought out shareholders in the 1950s and took over the business as a sole proprietor. And although the store has moved twice since it opened — once in 1966 because of the widening of Harvin Street and the second because Hurricane Hugo blew the roof off its building on Guignard Drive in 1989 — Farmers’ Exchange has remained a family business. That business served local farmers by providing feed, seed, fertilizer, baby chickens and, even at one point, a grit grinder. During the fall, customers would drive out of their way to get pecans from the store. Now, with John’s two sons, Tom and Sam, ready to retire, rather than selling the business, they have decided to close the barn door and open opportunities for another vendor. The brothers call it a natural progression as the vines of their business planted years ago have withered. It began with small farmers selling out to larger companies and big box stores competing with the local co-ops and feed stores. Meanwhile, Farmers’ Exchange continued to rely on local farmers who were loyal to the company. Farmers’ Exchange grew that loyalty by trusting farmers who would often secure seeds in the spring and pay their bills when the crops went to market in the summer or fall. In fact, Sam still remembers handwritten ledgers his mom kept for each account. When customers had a bad crop year, Sam said they always found a way to pay them back, even if they did so in crops. “Over the years, we hardly ever received a bad check,” Sam said. “Most of our customers were hard-

Farmers’ Exchange posted a sign notifying customers of its closing date.

Scales that were used to weigh seeds have weathered the business for more years than the Tindals can remember. working, very honest people.” The brothers grew up in the business as their mom toted them to the store on a regular basis as youngsters. When they were old enough, they were doing some of the heavy lifting in the store which sacked seeds in 50-pound bags and carried fertilizer in similar sizes. And when the business started delivering goods to farmers, the brothers often made the deliveries after school and on weekends. After high school, Sam joined the Air Force, specializing in communications systems. After four years of service, he returned to Sumter and worked for FTC, installing and maintaining service lines for cus-

tomers. In 1974, Sam began working for his father in the store. About the same time, Tom worked for Sumter Police Department in various roles including a patrol officer for five years before focusing on photographing and processing film and photos of crime scenes. After working for the city from 1967 to 1979, he joined his brother in the business as their father transitioned out of it. Tom jokingly refers to Sam as the “president” of the company because he began five years before Tom joined him. When Hugo destroyed their business in 1989, they relocated to a rental property on what was then McCrays Mill Road. When the city decided to widen that road, the city relocated the road one block south of their business and renamed their street Green Swamp Road. That diverted drop-in traffic from the store. They don’t blame any of that on the demise of their business that has since focused on backyard farmers and horse feed. The two have employed John Pringle for more than 30 years. Pringle said Thursday that he hasn’t begun a job search, and he doesn’t know what he will do. The Tindals decided not to try to sell the business because they said it was no longer as profitable, and they are sending their feed customers to Palmetto Farm Supply. They have reduced prices on their remaining inventory that has dwindled from two large rooms to half of one room. What will they do in retirement? Sam says he has lots of “honey dos” before he schedules two knee replacements — one at a time. Tom plans to visit such exotic locations as Poinsett State Park, a local state park he hasn’t visited in years. Even as retirement beckons, Sam said he’s not sure how he’ll feel after they close Friday. “It’s a hard thing to do,” he said. “I’ve been doing it all my life.”

Tom, left, and Sam Tindal will close the Farmers’ Exchange on Friday after the store served the community for 85 years. Their father, John B. Tindal, started as manager of the store in 1936. It opened in 1931 and moved twice but has remained a family business.

THE SUMTER ITEM

Return to the ‘bar pit’ T he breeze surprised me. I guess I wasn’t expecting it this morning. I hadn’t noticed until I stopped to get gas at a local convenience store. It wasn’t daylight yet, so I knew it would probably get stronger. Not good if you’re heading to the lake to fish. But, my destination would be a little more sheltered than the open lake. I was headed to the “Bar Pit” behind the Lake Marion Dam. I stopped in Summerton to pick up my Dan son, Clayton, Geddings and his wife, OUTDOORS Kristy. It was daylight now, and the sun was shrouded in an early morning haze. It was also very cool. These were not the best conditions for fishing, but I firmly believe the best time to go fishing or hunting, is — whenever you can. The Bar Pit is a long, narrow, shallow water body behind the Wilson Dam. It is actually a borrow pit where dirt was excavated or “borrowed” to build the earthen dam. Being southerners we have the right to put our own spin or slang on the names of places and have therefore shortened the name to the Bar Pit. There was only one other truck at the landing when we got there, and it made me think about the conditions again. I guess everybody else had sense enough to stay home on such a day. But, while we were getting the boat ready to launch, two other trucks with boats pulled in. There is a double ramp there, and two boats can launch at the same time. I backed into one, and one of the other trucks backed into the other. I was surprised when the other boater called out my name. It was my old friend Butch Lowder. I hadn’t seen him in years, and didn’t recognize him till he spoke. Butch said the fish had been biting, so at least that was encouraging. When we pulled away from the landing I pointed to a small gator, about three or four feet long, cruising along in the shallows near the shore. The wind was putting a good little ripple on the water, but I had a destination in mind that might get us into some calm water.

Customers of the Angler’s Headquarters online tackle store have access to daily updates and fulllength reports on its site. DHEC Fish Consumption Advisories: www.scdhec.gov/environment/water/fish Freshwater Report Santee Cooper 4/14 Bass: Good. Steve Harmon reports that a large group of fish are post-spawn, and another big wave should move up to spawn on the April full moon. Prespawn fish can be caught around shallow cover on soft plastics while post-spawn fish have pulled out slightly deeper. Crappie: Good. Captain Steve English reports that crappie can be found in the shallows as well as around mid-depth brush where they will eat minnows. Catfish: Fair to good. Captain Jim Glenn reports that the best catfish bite is coming in 20-30 feet of water on cut shad. Striped Bass: Fair to good. Captain Jim Glenn/ Pack’s Landing reports that the striper spawn continues and fish are being caught in the top of the system on artificials, live herring and cut herring. Bream: Fair to good. Captain Steve English reports that bluegill are staging in anticipation of the full moon, while a few shellcracker are already shallow. Midlands Area Lake Wateree 4/24 Bass: Fair to good.

Kristy Geddings caught the first fish of the day —a big bluegill bream. The eastern bank of the pit is heavily timbered in old growth hardwoods and is a stark reminder of the vast bottomland forest that once stood where the waters of the lake now gleam in the sunshine. The western bank to the right was once heavily timbered, but has been cleared, and rises up grassy slopes to the back, top of the dam. Herons and egrets lined the shorelines, and ospreys and a bald eagle soared overhead as we ran the length of the water. Another larger gator lurked in the shallows on the western bank. When we passed by, he sank below the dark water. Toward the far end of the Bar Pit is a wide, shallow cove on the left. We turned in and drifted into calm waters. It was out of the wind, and this is where we would start. There is a little lake that runs from this cove out to the Santee River. We had always called this lake “Little River.” My daddy, older brother, David, and I had fished here many years ago. I had not been back in a long time. They are both gone now, and this place is like hallowed ground to me. I rigged a bream buster with a cricket and handed it to Kristy. Clayton rigged an ultra light rod and reel, and I hooked a cricket on another bream buster. The water was about three or four feet deep and I set my cork at about 18 inches. We worked around treetops that

had toppled into the water, and stickups. It didn’t take long before Kristy had a big bluegill hooked. She had traded rigs with Clayton and reeled in the first fish. She was delighted! We got her baited back up and in just a few minutes she had another good one in the boat. I had missed one, and Clayton hadn’t gotten a bite yet. Kristy was on a roll and I was surprised and impressed with her skill with the rod and reel. Even though we were out of the wind, we still had to keep the boat in position where we were fishing. Clayton was operating the trolling motor at the front of the boat, and I would push off the bottom occasionally with a long paddle from the back to help keep us parallel to the shoreline. I finally hooked into a big fish, and pulled him to the boat. It was a bluegill that would probably go a pound. Dark purple body with iridescent blue on the head and gills. Almost immediately I hooked another one just as big, but he got off. Kristy pulled in another. We weren’t catching them in one spot, but here and there along the edge. We didn’t catch a limit, but we had a good day, and even made some new memories.

reports that bass at all three stages of the spawn can still be found on Lake Wateree, but the numbers are tilted heavily towards spawning and postspawn fish. The shad spawn is starting and spinnerbaits, buzzbaits and shallowrunning lures are catching fish. Catfish: Very good to excellent. Captain Rodger Taylor (803-517-7828) reports that catfish are concentrated along the river channel in the upper one-third of the lake, where they will eat cut bait. Crappie: Good. Will Hinson advises that a few straggler fish are still up shallow but most fish have pulled out to the middle of creeks where they will bite jigs fished at mid-depths. Lake Greenwood 4/14 Bass: Good. Fish are up shallow on Lake Greenwood, and Stan Gunter advises that the biggest wave of bass should spawn on the April full moon. Topwater lures as well as floating worms will catch fish. Catfish: Good. Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) says that catfish are biting well in the shallows on drifted cut bait. Lake Monticello 4/14 Bass: Fair. Andy Wicker reports that this is a transition period between the spawning season and summer fishing patterns, and right now fish are in an “in-between” depth range. Topwater lures and worms fished in the 5-15 foot range will catch fish, but soon fish will set up on deep structure in the 20-30 foot range. Catfish: Fair to good. Captain Chris Simpson (864-992-2352) reports that anchoring on humps and points and casting small pieces of cut bait will catch fish. Lake Murray 4/29 Bass: Good. Captain Doug Lown reports

that pre-spawn and spawning fish can still be found, but most bass anglers are now thinking about the blueback herring spawn. Early in the morning fish can be caught very shallow off points and later in the day they will drop deeper in the same areas. Striper: Good. Lake World (803-9576548) reports that striper are also shallow around points, and they can be caught on free-lines, planer boards, and cut bait as well as artificial lures blind-casted. Piedmont Area Lake Thurmond 4/27 Bass: Good. Buckeye Lures reports that some bass are bedding and a very few are still pre-spawn, but most bass fishermen are thinking about the blueback herring spawn. Bass are shallow around points chasing herring and they will take topwaters, flukes and soft plastics fished on the bottom. Striper and Hybrids: Good to very good. Captain William Sasser (864-3332000) reports that striper are also hanging around shallow points and they will eat free-lined herring, cut bait and artificial lures. Catfish: Good to very good. Captain William Sasser reports that this is peak catfish season on Clarks Hill and channels and flatheads can be caught around riprap on a Carolina-rigged piece of cut herring. Shellcracker: Good. Captain William Sasser reports that shellcracker are spawning and can be caught shallow on nightcrawlers. Crappie: Fair to good. Captain William Sasser reports that crappie are in the backs of creeks where they can be caught on minnows fished vertically.

DNR to do courtesy boat inspections throughout Memorial Day weekend FROM STAFF REPORTS In an effort to keep state waterways safe during the upcoming Memorial Day holiday weekend, South Carolina Department of Natural Resources’ Law Enforcement Division will again be conducting courtesy safety inspections at some public boat landings, according to a news release from the agency. The Memorial Day holiday weekend, May 27-30, is one of the busiest weekends of the year on state waters, the release states. SCDNR boating safety and enforcement officers will perform a quick but thorough inspection for items such as required safety equipment and proper boat and motor registration. Those who are not in compliance with safety regulations or registration requirements will not be ticketed during the complimentary inspections, according to the release. Instead, they will be given an opportunity to correct the problem before they launch their boats. DNR officers will also be available to answer questions and give boaters tips on how to

Life jackets can save lives, but only if you wear them BY S.C. DNR The upcoming Memorial Day holiday kicks off the boating season in South Carolina. Many people will take to our lakes and rivers for a weekend of fun and relaxation. Unfortunately, the weekend could end in tragedy for some. Last year, 19 people died on South Carolina’s waters in boating-related accidents. Drowning was the cause of death in 74 percent of these. While wearing a personal flotation device will not prevent a boating accident, it will give you a much better

Lake Wylie 5/18 Bass: Good. FLW angler Bryan New reports that the shallow bite is pretty slow, but the deep bite has been strong recently and will only get better for the next few weeks. Carolina rigs, swimbaits, jigs and deep-running crankbaits will all catch fish around offshore structure. Catfish: Good to Very Good. Captain Rodger Taylor (803-517-7828) reports that the pre-spawn bite is still very hot, even as the spawn draws very close – if it has not already started. The best pattern is fishing around river current with cut herring or white perch. Lake Russell 4/13 Bass: Good. Guide Jerry Kotal (706-9880860) reports that largemouth at all three stages of the spawn can be caught on Russell, while spotted bass seem to be mostly pre-spawn. Both moving baits and soft plastics will catch fish in the shallows. Crappie: Good. Guide Wendell Wilson (706-283-3336) reports that the better crappie have now spawned, but the bulk of the fish are still in relatively shallow water where they can be caught on minnows and jigs. Striped Bass: Fair. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that good numbers of striper are mid-way up the rivers, and they will take live herring presented on free lines and planer boards. Catfish: Fair. Guide Wendell Wilson reports that catfish can be caught around rip-rap on cut herring. Mountains Area Lake Hartwell 5/17 Bass: Fair to good. Guide Brad Fowler reports that this is a transition period for bass, and both the bass spawn and the blueback herring bite are winding down.

chance of surviving if you end up in the water as the result of one. All vessels must have at least one Type I, II, III or V PFD that is Coast Guard approved, wearable, and of the proper size for each person on board or being towed. All children, under 12 years of age are required to wear a U.S. Coast Guard approved Type I,II,III or V PFD while on board a vessel less than 16 feet long. Each person riding on a personal watercraft must wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved Type I ,II, III or V PFD. Life jackets can save lives, but only if you use them.

While fish are starting to move out to deeper water with water temperatures only in the mid-70s, a lot of fish are still relatively shallow. Striped Bass: Good to Very good. Captain Bill Plumley (864-287-2120) and Guide Chip Hamilton (864-304-9011) report that stripers are transitioning down the lake and out of the backs, and the best bite is on down-lined herring fished just off the bottom in 30 feet of water. Catfish: Good. Captain Bill Plumley reports that blue catfish are starting to move out to deeper water, but channel catfish are scattered out in the shallows where they will eat a variety of baits. Flathead catfish can be caught at night on live bait. Crappie: Fair. Captain Bill Plumley reports that the crappie bite is pretty good around mid-depth brush on minnows. Lake Keowee 5/5 Bass: Good. Guide Brad Fowler reports that there are still spawning fish on Lake Keowee, particularly on the northern end of the lake. There is also a good topwater bite for post-spawn fish in the morning, and after that fish will take soft plastics in 15-30 feet. Lake Jocassee 5/18 Trout: Good. Guide Sam Jones (864280-9056) reports that some of the biggest trout of the year have been caught in the past week or two, including a nearly 9-pound brown caught on his boat. Fish are being caught on spoons and minnows fished in the 30-80 foot range, and while fish are still spread out over the lake they are starting to group up in the big water.
