enced similar “epic” flood events recently suggest a big dose of patience. They say don’t expect bridge and road repairs to happen overnight, but using federal money to rebuild roads and bridges may be a silver lining to an otherwise tragic situation.

As South Carolinians make Uturns at closed roads and study their GPS devices to find alternate routes, states that have experi-

After suffering from a multipleyear drought, heavy rains washed away dams, roads and bridges in Texas in May. Five months later, what has been repaired, and what will take a more long-term strategy?

Meanwhile, two years after Colorado experienced a 200-year flood, how helpful has the Federal Emergency Management Agency been in rebuilding roads, bridges and other infrastructure? The Sumter Item asked key questions to both states’ department of transportation leaders to give residents an idea of how quickly to expect those barricades to come down and traffic patterns to return to normal. Floods in Texas and Colorado resulted from continuous rainfall during a month, compared to

SUMMERTON — Eighteen representatives from South Carolina Department of Social Services were at Camp Bob Cooper on Friday, helping flood victims of the West Summerton area find housing. Summerton area residents, who

are staying at the camp temporarily, had to evacuate an apartment complex and houses after floods hit the community on Oct. 4. DSS representatives from 12 counties were at the camp helping residents search for rental properties online. They also drove residents to potential housing sites throughout Clarendon County, said Andrea James-Favor, Lee County

DSS interim county director. DSS representatives were able to assist 37 families, Favor said. A majority of the families who had received help from the department were able to leave the camp on Friday. “One of our responsibilities is to provide assistance to residents

More than 100 people attend Art in the Park BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com Sumter artist Dennis Snell has been painting for more than 50 years. On Saturday, Snell was one of 26 artists displaying their work at the ninth annual Art in the Park event in Memorial Park. Those in attendance saw Snell in action, painting an oil on canvas of a country barn in less than two hours. Snell, a retired career firefighter, started paint-

ing as a hobby. “I used to paint during my free time at the fire station,” he said. “It’s something that allows me to take my mind off everything else and just focus on the painting.” Snell paints primarily from photographs of landscapes and nature, having completed hundreds of paintings during his lifetime. “As an artist you pick up on the little things,” he said. “For example while I was standing here over the last hour, the shad-

ows changed on the leaves of the tree in front of me.” Art in the Park started nine years ago as a way to bring together artists who lived around the area, said Laura Cardello, organizer of the event. “There are many artists who live in Sumter’s historic district and use this park,” she said. Saturday’s event included painters, stainglass artists, woodmakers, blacksmiths, potters,

Husband and wife team dedicated to education BY KONSTANTIN VENGEROWSKY konstantin@theitem.com Randy and Lynn Twitty are one of many husband and wife teams in Sumter School District. Lynn has been at Sumter High School for about 31 years, and Randy has taught there since 1997. Lynn serves as director of guidance at the school, and Randy is teacher and assistant varsity baseball coach. The Twittys said working together in the same profession and at the same school is beneficial for both of them. “It’s a common bond we share and our livelihood,” Randy said. Lynn said that although the cou-

ple’s jobs are different at the school, sometimes their roles intertwine. As a director of guidance, Lynn works with students in grades nine through 12 in everything from setting their schedules to meeting graduation requirements to filling out college applications and figuring out career paths. “We start working with students in the eighth grade with an individual education plan,” she said. “As they proceed through high school, we want to help students learn about different careers and figure out what they may be interested in.” Lynn said her role is to be a support person for the students. Randy’s role as a teacher and coach, while different, has the same end goal as Lynn’s, he said. “It’s about motivating and instilling the belief in students of why educa-

tion is important,” Randy said. “Many students may not totally understand why education is vital to anything they want to accomplish in life.” Lynn said she enjoys working and meeting with students and helping to steer them towards success. “I see the potential in every student that I encounter, and I enjoy being the encourager for them,” she said. A year ago, the Twittys’ whole family was together at the school, with their daughter and twin sons attending Sumter High. Their daughter graduated from the school and is an education major at University of South Carolina. Their twin sons are now juniors at Sumter High. “We love Sumter High School,” Randy said. “It has become our second family.”

Rice industry focus at genealogical society BY IVY MOORE ivy@theitem.com Author David Henry Lucas will be the speaker at Monday’s meeting of Sumter County Genealogical Society. Lucas will talk about his new book, “The Rice Kings, Book One, The Beginning.” Lucas said the book concerns “the history of the South Carolina rice industry that made the Low Country one of the wealthiest areas in the world, beginning in 1685 and continuing through 1861. … It is the first in a planned series of novels that chronicles the story of an EnglishAmerican family’s lives, loves, successes and failures through time, from 1754 to the present. This first novel centers on the early life of Jonathan Lucas I, the inventor of the rice mill (and) my great, great, great, great grandfather.” The story begins with the young 18th-century Northumbrian man, born into a well-to-do family in Whitehaven, Cumberland County, England. Apprenticed to an uncle who teaches him the millwright trade, Jonathan Lucas experiences the rise and turmoil of the Industrial Revolution.

“There are highwaymen, treacherous villains, blind politicians, love affairs, fights, great mansions, brilliant balls, perilous military attacks, business busts and seaborne journeys that bring 18th century England to life in a blaze of colorful characters and adventures,” Lucas said. “Jonathan is thrust into a love triangle at an early age that lasts until he is torn from one lover to the other. He and his mistress leave for the Caribbean island of Antigua just after the American Revolution.” Meet Lucas and hear his presentation on the history of the rice industry in South Carolina and his ancestor’s important contributions at 7:30 p.m. Monday at Swan Lake Presbyterian Church. The Sumter County Genealogical Society meets monthly from September through May. Visitors are welcome and encouraged to attend. Admission is free to the public, and refreshments will be served following the presentation. Readers can call the Society’s Research Center for additional information at (803) 774-3901.

Are natural remedies helpful or harmful?

andi Harper, 36, didn’t pay much attention to herbal supplements and natural products until she had a

baby. “I always assumed that anything that was for sale and at least had been approved by the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) was safe for use. But when I started considering what I was feeding and giving my baby, I started looking at natural products and remedies.” Natural remedies that heal the body have been around for centuries. From the earliest of times when humans began keeping records, medicinal herbs and plants were used to treat asthma, arthritis, skin lesions, stomach ulcers and intestinal issues. According to the National Center for

Health Statistics, approximately 40 percent of individuals seek natural or alternative treatments today. “After giving birth, my skin changed,” Mandi said. “I develMissy oped a skin rash that Corrigan was deep red and purple. Rather than going with prescription medication, I decided to go all natural with skin care products and foods. The change was expensive, but it was worth it to me since being naturally healthy was a priority.” All–natural foods can be misleading because there are no specific guidelines for labeling foods as such. Many

of these all-natural foods contain chemicals and may even contain processed ingredients. While Mandi spent nearly a year focusing on being as natural as she could in every aspect of her life, her condition never improved. So she finally went to her doctor and received treatment. “My skin cleared up in three months,” she said. “After discussing this with my doctor, I learned that some natural remedies can be really ineffective or even make issues worse.” Using natural remedies may be appealing, but they generally take longer than modern medicine to show results, and some may not be safe or even work. This may be because the supplement is not potent enough and contains other fillers or that it is truly ineffective. With our environment and

WASHINGTON (AP) — Most women with low sexual desire won’t rush to get the first prescription drug to boost female libido when it becomes available today. But they may have more options down the road. Addyi is a daily medication that can’t be taken with alcohol or certain other drugs, which will likely

limit its use. But experts think those restrictions could spur development of better treatments for women’s sexual problems after more than a decade of neglect by most of the world’s large drugmakers.

the amount of chemicals that we absorb through our skin, nails and hair and not to mention in our foods and drinks, it can be a challenge for the body to fight chemicals with natural products. Natural remedies may also cause adverse effects. Some may interfere with prescription medications, worsening symptoms and conditions and even reversing the effects of the prescription medication. Unlike prescription medications, natural remedies are not put under the same testing from the FDA, and the FDA does not require that the manufacturers prove their effectiveness or that they are even safe. If you are taking herbal supplements or considering alternative remedies, it is important that you discuss them with your physician.

men’s erectile dysfunction drugs work by increasing blood flow to the genitals, Addyi acts on brain chemicals associated with desire. “This is the first time that a drug, for either men or women, has been approved strictly to increase sexual desire,” Wallen said. “That legitimizes many other drugs that are in development.” Treatments for women’s libido issues are an untapped financial opportunity for drugmakers. Analysts estimate the market could be worth more than $2 billion, based on academic estimates that between 5 million and 9 million U.S. women may suffer from desire disorders. But the area hasn’t been a research priority for drugmakers in many years. Beginning in the 1990s, Pfizer, Bayer and Procter & Gamble

all studied — then discarded — drugs targeting female libido. Addyi itself was developed by the German conglomerate, Boehringer Ingelheim, then sold to Sprout Pharmaceuticals after the Food and Drug Administration rejected the medication because of lackluster effectiveness and issues such as nausea, fatigue and dizziness. It took Sprout four years to win FDA approval for Addyi, which acts on brain chemicals associated with mood and appetite. The drug will come with a bold warning label about the risks of fainting if combined with alcohol or certain medications. Additionally, doctors and pharmacists must complete an online certification process to show they understand the drug’s risks.

Fossil trove found in Utah BY BRADY McCOMBS The Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY — Paleontologists have discovered a cliffside in Utah brimming with fossils that offer a rare glimpse of desert life in western North America early in the age of dinosaurs. Among the discoveries in what used to be a lake shoreline between giant sand dunes is a new pterosaur that would have been the largest flying reptile of the time. It wielded its ferocious teeth and powerful skull to gobble up small crocodile-type creatures as it soared over a desert some 210 million years ago. “If you saw one of these things coming at you with its jaws open, it would freak you out of your mind,” said Brooks Britt, a Brigham Young University paleontologist who presented preliminary findings this week at the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology conference in Dallas. He and fellow paleontologists plan to publish the findings in a scientific journal next year. Eight animals, most likely new, have been identified at a site discovered in

Paleontologists work at a site Friday where a pterosaur, which would have been the largest flying reptile of the time some 210 million years ago, was found at Dinosaur National Monument near the town of Jensen in northeastern Utah. 2009 near Dinosaur National Monument on the Utah-Colorado border. The discoveries include: • A type of a strange-looking reptile with a head like a bird, arms like a mole and a claw on the tip of the tail called a drepanosaur; • Several small crocodilelike creatures with armor on their backs called sphenosuchians; and • Two types of meat-eating dinosaurs, one related to the coelophysis, a scrawny dinosaur featured in the recent movie “Walking with Dinosaurs.” “It’s a fantastic site,” said Brian Andres, a University of South Florida paleontologist who heard the presentation this week. “It’s in a time and a

place that we really do not have a good record of.” The pterosaur discovery is significant because it fills a gap in the fossil record between earlier, smaller pterosaurs and the giant ones that came later, Andres said. It is related to another wicked-jawed pterosaur discovered in England: the Dimorphodon. Each side of its lower jaw had two fangs and 28 teeth. “This thing is built like an aerial predator,” Andres said. The skull and wing bone found are also noteworthy because they are intact and not crushed, a rarity for pterosaurs. It is the first known Triassic pterosaur found in North America, other than one unearthed in Greenland, Britt said.

Stephen Adeimy After experiencing first hand the care my grandfather received from Agapé Hospice, I knew without a shadow of a doubt I had to educate others about the importance of hospice care. Hospice is a special kind of care for patients and their families who are facing a life limiting illness. Call me and let me share my experience with you.

“It is absurdly rare to find delicate, small skeletons from anywhere in time, anywhere in the world,” said Adam Pritchard, a Yale paleontologist not part of the discovery team. “To have them from the Triassic period, which is the very beginning of the age of reptiles, is really unprece-

dented, especially in western north America.” The site was discovered by paleontologists Dan Chure of Dinosaur National Monument and George Englemann of University of Nebraska. Chure said the duo realized right away they had stumbled upon the discovery of their lives.

THE SUMTER ITEM

STATES FROM PAGE A1 South Carolina’s flood that happened in three days. For instance, the amount of rain in Boulder, Colorado, for the month of September 2013 totaled 18.2 inches compared to its monthly September average of 1.6 inches, according to a spokesman from Colorado Department of Transportation. Likewise, the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas received 16.96 inches of rain in May, according to The Weather Channel. Both were considerably less than the 21.3 inches the National Weather Service said Sumter received in three days in what South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has called a 1,000year flood. Texas and Colorado had the luxury of time as water continued to build up behind dams and began to flush out riverbeds. They had more time to prepare and evacuate residents. In Sumter and Clarendon counties as well as other parts of the state, many people in the flood’s path woke up with 3 feet of water in their homes — and still rising — with little notice.

TEXAS What happens as water returns to normal flow levels? Texas DOT Maintenance Division Director Michael Lee said as water receded, repairs focused on clearing debris from roadways and small culverts. They repaired and reopened roadways, inspected bridges and identified those needing repair. Lee said the majority of money for rebuilding roads came from two federal funds. The Federal Highway Administration quickly supplied Texas with $5 million in what he called “quick-release funding.” Meanwhile, he said FEMA completes an assess-

Five months later, Texas still waits for those final assessments for the FEMA money to rebuild those local roads. “TxDOT estimates the infrastructure damage from late May, early June flooding at close to $30 million,” said Nick Wade, a Texas Department of Transportation spokesman. “The FHWA released $5 million in emergency funds, and we are still awaiting a reimbursement from FEMA. Until we receive an estimate from FEMA, we are unable to speculate whether or not that reimbursement will fully cover the cost of our rebuilding and repairing efforts.” What advice does the maintenance director, Lee, give to S.C. state leaders?

“Develop a strong working relationship with the FHWA/ FEMA coordinators in the area,” Lee said. “Communicate often while setting clear and concise guidelines for project review. Document damage and project locations with GEO-tagged photos.” GEO-tagging identifies precise longitude and latitude coordinates.

COLORADO Colorado Department of Transportation had similar advice. “Make sure all federal money is tracked and tracked again,” said Jared Fiel, a communications officer for the CDOT. “Many disasters like this get federal funding, but if you don’t track everything the way the feds want, you may later have to repay some of that money.” The Colorado flood affected

486 miles of Colorado DOT roads with 39 roads at least temporarily closed. It damaged 120 CDOT bridges and created more than 135,000 cubic yards of debris in highways, culverts and stream channels. CDOT divided the repair work into emergency repair and permanent repair categories with a goal of getting emergency work done within three months and permanent work done within five years. Emergency repair involved short-term repair of roads so that local residents could get in and out of their property, with the intention of going back and making permanent repairs within that five-year period. “Our last road was opened two days before the December deadline thrown down by the governor,” he said of the emergency repairs.

Since December 2013, Fiel said the department has focused on “building back our roads to the level they were before — and with resiliences in place to avoid this happening in the future.” Two years later, 12 of 32 permanent federal road projects are either under construction or completed. Only 14.6 miles of 120 miles of federal aid roads are repaired. For local roads, four of the 26 permanent repairs are under construction or completed. CDOT posts an update on the progress of each project on its website, www.codot.gov, under flood-related projects. Fiel said the Colorado Congressional delegation was able to secure $450 million in federal money to rebuild its roads and may seek more money to complete the projects. He said most of the federal money from FEMA and FHWA come with a funding formula of 80 percent federal and 20 percent local or state money. Which raises the question: Will the short-term misery for South Carolinians turn into a long-term benefit by having the federal government rebuild at least a portion of the roads the state legislature and governor have failed to agree on funding? Yes and no, Fiel said. While the federal money will not pay for resurfacing roads or filling in potholes for areas not affected by the flood, he said if the flood-damaged roads were needing repair, many will likely be replaced. Think about it this way, he said: “You’re obviously not going to put a pothole back on a road you are replacing.”

DSS FROM PAGE A1 after a crisis,” Favor said. “That assistance spreads across county lines. We have stepped up to the plate to assist the families here.” Favor said many of the residents staying at the camp had applied for and received assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for personal property destroyed in the flood and rental assistance. Eleven of the 61 residents temporarily staying at the camp are from Meadowfield Apartments in Summerton, said Barbara Jaco, vice president of Boyd Management Inc., which oversees the apartments. The complex received an estimate of as much as $1.5 million in damage from the flood, Jaco said. Some of the areas around the complex received as much as 4 feet of water, she said. On Friday the management company was waiting to hear back from its insurance company on whether the flooding would be covered under its policy. “We’re expecting a denial,” Jaco said. “The damage is severe. Even if we had the funds to restore the property, residents would have to find an alternative place to live in the meantime.” On Friday, some residents were allowed to return to eight second-floor only units, Jaco said. Those eight units did not have flood damage. There were also two roof leaks repaired. The complex has

a total of 48 units, a majority of which include a first and second floor. Twenty-five of the apartment’s residents had found an alternative place to live, Jaco said. Jaco said an environmentalist will assess the property for mold damage early this week. She is encouraging residents who have the means to come back to collect their personal property. It was unclear Friday what was going to be done about the complex. Jaco said there was going to be a meeting next week between entities who are involved with the apartments. One of the owners of the property is Meadowfield Apartments A Limited Partnership, Jaco said. The apartments fall under U.S. Department of Agriculture’s subsidized housing, the mortgagee of the property. Clarendon County government and other agencies, such as FEMA, the American Red Cross and DSS, have partnered with Clemson University’s Youth Learning Institute, which owns Camp Bob Cooper, to provide temporary housing for flood victims until Oct. 21. The county is funding the residents’ cost to stay at the camp, which is about $25 per person per day, according to Clarendon County Council Chairman Dwight Stewart. Many churches, organizations and individuals have donated food, drinks, clothing and other supplies to the flood victims staying at the camp.

RECOVERY FROM PAGE A1 much cost as possible until the officers receive assistance from their insurance providers and Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the plan is to keep the account open until all officers are taken care of. “We want to give that piece of mind back for what they have done for the community,” she said. She said Leviner reached out to Sumter Police Chief Russell Roark III to contact officers who needed assistance. Roark said it is not only important for first responders to make sure residents and their property are safe, but the department also has to assess the impact the flood had on officers and other personnel. “Some experienced significant damage to their homes, vehicles and personal belongings, so we are very appreciative for the outside assistance the business community and other individuals hope to provide,” he said. Orengo said the group is assisting three Sumter Police Department officers. She said the group is pro-

ART FROM PAGE A1 jewelry makers and more. “This is a great community event to bring artists from different artistic backgrounds together,” she said. Mike Tucker, a Sumter blacksmith, was showing his talents firsthand by making several objects on site and dis-

viding financial assistance for an officer who lost both of his vehicles and is replacing appliances for another officer who had flooding in his basement. The group is working on finding a clean up crew to help a third officer, Tyshica Gayle. At first, Gayle did not accept the group’s help because she thought other people needed assistance more than she did, Orengo said “It’s in our heart to help her,” she said. Orengo said the group provided Gayle with a gift card to Walmart to purchase cleaning supplies to wash her family’s clothes after coming in contact with flood water. Orengo recently heard of at least three deputies with Sumter County Sheriff’s Office who may need financial assistance. Sumter County Sheriff Anthony Dennis said actions like these truly show the relationship between the community and local law enforcement. Orengo said J&L will host a buffet style breakfast Friday from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the store and restaurant, 2114 U.S. 521 S. She said the breakfast is

free and open to the public, but guests are asked to make a donation for local law enforcement. “We really thank everyone that has donated,” Orengo said. Another local group is stepping in to provide a member of law enforcement who was displaced following the rain storm. Dr. Brenda C. Williams with Family Unit Inc. said the organization is giving one of two houses, both donated by a few individuals with ERG Properties LLC, to a medical technician at Sumter-Lee Regional Detention Center. Williams said the officer lost her home in the flood, and her husband and two small children are having to stay with family. She and her husband work 12-hour shifts, she said. Williams said the organization is renovating the house and plans to hand over the deed to the family in a couple of weeks.

These included crosses and hearts that could be used as necklaces or bracelets.

Randall Castleberry, a woodwork artist from Wedgefield, said he describes himself as a folk artist who “manipulates the wood.” He finds wood that already looks like an animal or person and completes nature’s art by adding features such as eyes out of marbles and other items.

States go after unclaimed property Money used to patch budgets BY ADAM GELLER and DAVID CRARY AP National Writers When Americans lose track of money — in neglected bank accounts, paychecks they forgot to cash and elsewhere — state governments are increasingly aggressive in taking control of the cash. Now, with those efforts swelling state coffers by more than $40 billion and lawmakers using some of it to patch budget holes, skirmishes are breaking out between states and companies with their own interest in holding on to the unclaimed property. Companies accuse states of overreaching. State officials counter the businesses are more concerned with keeping the assets themselves. But critics say rightful owners too often get short shrift. “The analogy is to finding somebody’s lost wallet. In Minnesota, anyway, we give people their wallets back. It’s just what we do here. But it’s not what the state is doing,” said Joe Atkins, a state representative from outside St. Paul who last year introduced a bill calling for increased funding to track down property owners. While other states, too, have increased efforts to reunite owners with their property, many have changed laws to let them take control of more unclaimed property more quickly. State lost-and-found programs have been growing rapidly for more than a decade. States stepped up pursuit of unclaimed property in the late 1990s, after restructuring by insurance com-

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

State Rep. Joe Atkins helps Gayle Wyant, right, check her name in Minnesota’s Department of Commerce unclaimed property list at a booth at the Minnesota State Fair. Atkins said he stumbled on the issue in the fall of 2014 when a friend mentioned the state had taken control of $700 belonging to his grandmother. panies exposed those firms’ inability to locate many policy holders. Many states have hired auditing firms to scrutinize the books of insurers, retailers and others, paying them multimillion-dollar fees for unclaimed property they brought in. The experience of two medical researchers who recently sued Delaware officials highlights the stakes. Gilles Gosselin and Jean Louis Imbach, French chemists who developed a drug for treating hepatitis B, became shareholders of a company incorporated in Delaware to develop it. In 2009, without contacting them, Delaware took control of their stock, deemed abandoned, and sold it for $1.7 million. As Gosselin and Imbach worked to track down their shares, the company was acquired by Merck & Co., in a

2014 deal that valued the researchers’ stock at $13.7 million. Delaware turned over proceeds of the earlier stock sale, but they took a $12 million hit. “All of this could’ve been easily avoided if someone just sent a letter,” said Ethan Millar, a Los Angeles lawyer representing the researchers. Most consumers on unclaimed property lists don’t even realize they’re entitled to missing money. It could be an inheritance they weren’t aware of or mutual funds entrusted to a broker with a mistaken address. Most are owed less than $100. In all, state governments have $41.7 billion in unclaimed property on their books, according to the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators. Changes in law have ac-

celerated collections: • Last year, Pennsylvania lawmakers shortened from five years to three the period before bank accounts and other property can be considered abandoned. Money claimed by the state jumped to $669 million from $265 million the year before. Until the change, Pennsylvania returned about 43 percent of what it collected; afterward, payouts rose only slightly. • Before 2008, Delaware waited until mail sent to owners of stock was returned as undeliverable before declaring their property abandoned. But that year, it began requiring only that shareholders have no contact with their account for three years, without attempting to reach them. • Minnesota used to send letters directly to state residents telling them when the state had their money. But lawmakers eliminated that provision in 2005, while ditching the requirement to publish the names of property owners in newspapers. Still, Minnesota is among states that set up booths at state fairs to inform people of the missing money, efforts that have helped boost its return rate to about 45 percent of what it takes in. Michael Rothman, Minnesota’s commerce commissioner, said he wants legislators to double or triple funding to hire finders who will search for people and to step up advertising and outreach. “It’s great to have a goal, but if you don’t give the resources to do it, we can’t achieve it,” Rothman said. For those unaware the state has claimed their property, “it’s a stealth tax,” said Ferdinand Hogroian of the Council on State Taxation, which represents big companies in pushing for uniformity in unclaimed property laws.

Thanks to those who keep information flowing

t has been two weeks since the Great South Carolina Flood of 2015, and most of us are now intimately familiar with sump pumps, shop vacs, dehumidifiers and pressure washers. There’s practical beauty in the power of Clorox liquid to solve many of life’s challenges. The powerful cleanser is an American institution, like aspirin. No need for all those weird medical disclaimers about possible side effects. One cleans Graham the mess and Osteen washes away the odor, the other fights the pain. There has been plenty of both lately in the Palmetto State. Many of our state’s people don’t have time for any such reflection. They’re hurting more than ever economically and spiritually and can’t see an end in sight because they were already hurting before. Overnight, their lives got wetter, smellier and preposter-

COMMENTARY ously more inconvenient. Many people lost everything and most people lost something. Floods are expensive and complicated, and the 2015 flood here at home in South Carolina has had a compounding effect on our state’s poverty. We all recognize how vitally important it is to continue finding ways to help our fellow man in South Carolina at this moment and for the foreseeable future. There are many people and organizations doing it, and we’ll continue to report on those efforts for a long time. As owners of this newspaper, our family is especially proud of how the people in our company — The Sumter Item and Osteen Publishing Company — have stepped up to serve both the public interest and their fellow workers. Because many of the people on the Sumter staff handle the advertising and editorial design work on our other publications in Florida, Alabama and New Mexico, those folks worked through a wide

range of personal complexities just to get in here and get the job done each day. We applaud them, as do their coworkers at those other publications. I asked some of our key Sumter managers to reflect on the past two weeks, and here are some of their observations: Earle Woodward, Circulation Manager: “I thought our carriers did an outstanding job under extremely difficult conditions. Just the fact that they found their ways into town to pick up their papers on Sunday and Tuesday mornings was a miracle. The Manning crowd really shined considering the fact that there was no way to get into Manning. Harry Pringle found a series of back roads that eventually got to Manning and he was coming to Sumter every morning, loading up the Manning papers here and then driving back to Manning to get the papers to the carriers. I’m making an educated guess that we got 85 to 90 percent of

our papers delivered on the first two days and with roads and bridges out — I think that’s pretty good. I know of two cars that were ruined trying to deliver papers. Some carriers went the extra miles (literally) by driving 10 to 15 miles out of their way to get to subscribers that they could not get to from the usual direction. All in all, I think the independent contractor force at The Sumter Item went above and beyond what should have been required of them.” Rick Carpenter, Managing Editor: “Even before the flood, on Saturday we wrote an entire edition focused on what to do if the flood hit. Many people didn’t believe the prediction of 12 to 18 inches of rain. We got 21.3 inches. Keith Gedamke and I jumped in on Sunday in the middle of the heavy rains to shoot photos and started posting them online. I began posting flood warnings and updates as early 5 a.m. Rhonda Barrick and I kept updating our website with the latest information through the

week. Sumter County Sheriff’s Office and Sumter Police Department were very helpful with getting us constant updates that we relayed to the community. Some of us worked more than two weeks straight without a day off. Initially, we focused on telling people the information they needed immediately for their health and safety. Then we transitioned to writing about heroic efforts.” Cary Howard, Supervisor of Creative Services: “Leigh Mitchell, Eddie Hodges and myself and Ryan Galloway came in that day. I picked up Eddie, it took Leigh an hour or so to figure out a way to get here, but she made it. We raised money for Eddie and Keith Gedamke that week. I wish I could do so much more for those that were affected by the flood.” Graham Osteen is Editor-AtLarge of The Item. He can be reached at graham@theitem. com.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR GOVERNMENT SHOULD AVOID RACE-BASED PROGRAMS How can racial equality be achieved when the U.S. government sponsors programs such as the “U.S. Dept. of Education’s Predominantly Black Institutions” program and gives grants of U.S. taxpayers’ money for black males only? I was not under the impression that Central Carolina was a predominantly black college. The article in the newspaper further states that the money will be used to provide tutoring for reading, writing, English, etc. If a student needs to be tutored in reading or writing, shouldn’t that have been done in high school? We all have the same opportunity to go to college if we apply ourselves in high school. This whole article gives me the impression that once again the U.S. government is giving out our money that we taxpayers have worked hard to earn. U.S. government grants to schools should be for all students, no matter what race they are.

CARL A. FARLEY Summerton

Impressive Hillary owes GOP for showing its hand

ASHINGTON — With the latest poll numbers tallied and political pundits having spoken, a consensus has emerged: Hillary Clinton won the first Democratic debate and, barring a Benghazi pinata exploding with revelations, has cinched the nomination. Reasons cited for Clinton’s superior performance have been well-hashed by now. Her deft parrying placed her leftof-center but right-ofSanders. She’s a progressive, she declared, but a pragmatic person who likes to get things done. A compromiser, in other words. Or perKathleen haps a woman who Parker has learned how to listen and understands that politics requires give-andtake. In Las Vegas Tuesday night, Clinton carefully staked out territory that wouldn’t alienate liberals nor necessarily frighten independents — or even moderate Republicans, to the extent any remain. Her success also rested in part on competition that, with the exception Bernie Sanders, was, how shall we put it … Lilliputian. Lincoln Chafee’s whine about casting a regrettable Sen-

ate vote because he had just arrived in Washington and his father had died was cringingly pathetic. Neither Jim Webb, who should be a Republican, nor Martin O’Malley disturbed the night. Sanders, though outmaneuvered by Clinton, nonetheless did well enough for his base of supporters. But his most memorable moment belonged to Clinton when he declared that Americans are “sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails.” “Me, too!” Clinton trilled to applause. It’s not clear that gift-giving was Sanders’ intention. A reporter on MSNBC’S “Morning Joe” said Sanders’ remark had been rehearsed as a way to indict Clinton for her distracting mishandling of the email situation. But Clinton’s quick reaction sealed the deal. She and Sanders shook hands and, hereafter, Clinton is inoculated against the email problem, at least from fellow Democrats. Her success otherwise was much more than rhetorical skills or clever tactics. It would be understatement to say that Clinton was comfortable in her own skin, though she was. Or that she was authentic, which is true — and usually isn’t. I’ll say it: She looked fabulous. This is not trivial. One hopes that feminism and feminists have evolved sufficiently to understand that women

in the public eye don’t indulge vanity for its own sake. Vanity is something they deal with as a matter of business so that they can relax and focus on more important things. It’s the price they pay for bright lights. Clinton verily shimmered with selfconfidence and the lightness of spirit that comes from knowing you’re on your game (and that you have a good haircut). There’s no guessing what may have liberated her from the armor she’s worn for so long — but she surpassed not only her opponents but herself. It was undoubtedly helpful that Republican Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy had tossed the House speakership over the muddle of Benghazi. Henceforth, her story is that Republicans created the Benghazi investigation to bring her down, as McCarthy said in so many words. No wonder she’s so light on her feet. While at least some jurors are still out on the private email server and Benghazi — and the FBI is still busy with its own investigation — Clinton must find it easier to smile these days. She faces questioning by the House Select Committee on Benghazi when she appears before the panel Oct. 22. Surely we won’t witness a repeat of two years ago when she appeared before a different panel and furiously asked, “What difference at this point does it make?” referring to how or

why four Americans were murdered in Libya. She won’t likely blow a fuse like that again, but she’ll always have to hear that question replayed by her Republican opponents as they seek to undermine her credibility as secretary of state and, by inference, her lack of viability to become commander in chief. This could backfire on Republicans if they have nothing to show for the money and months they’ve spent trying to produce something they can blame on Clinton as secretary of state. If McCarthy’s blunder isn’t enough evidence of political motivation, it at least reminded voters that smoke can be a sign not just of fire but also of mirrors. There’s something else from debate night. Clinton was finally able to demonstrate that she’s just as smart as, if not smarter than, her husband. For many years a second to his first place, Hillary is now the Clinton people think of first. Her inevitability, which hasn’t been so for the past several months, appears to be on the rise again. And Clinton, it seems, owes Republicans a note of gratitude. Kathleen Parker’s email address is kathleenparker@washpost.com. © 2015, Washington Post Writers Group

Sumter RB Anderson’s TD grab featured on SportsCenter BY DENNIS BRUNSON dennis@theitem.com Quintein Anderson said it was just pure reaction. “It just happened,” Anderson said. What happened was Anderson, the Sumter High School running back, flipping and rolling over the back a West

Florence defense, landing on his feet and stepping into the end zone for an 11-yard touchdown run in the Gamecocks’ 42-7 on Thursday at Florence War Memorial Stadium. Not only did the play wow those in attendance, it is now being shown all across the country. It has been shown prominently on ESPN’s

SportsCenter in its Play of the Day segment and is all over the internet. “It’s a blessing to be on there,” ANDERSON Anderson said. “I just thank my teammates for all that they do for me.” The Gamecocks were lead-

ing 14-0 late in the second quarter with the ball on the West Florence 11-yard line. SHS had Anderson lined up taking the direct snap. He went to the left side of the line, following offensive tackle Landon Ragin, who cleared a hole to Anderson’s right. West Florence freshman cornerback Sharrod Simmon

came in from left and went down low for a tackle around the 4-yard line. When he dipped his shoulders, Anderson lowered his head and began a flip, rolling over Simmon’s back. He landed on his feet around the 2 and trotted into the end zone.

Good start Elliott era begins with 19-10 victory over Vanderbilt to cap tumultuous week for Carolina BY EDDIE LITAKER Special To The Sumter Item COLUMBIA — The University of South Carolina’s Homecoming football game could not have come at a more fitting time. After a tumultuous 2-week period that included devastating floods that shut down the school’s campus and resulted in a scheduled home game being played in Baton Rouge, La., and the sudden announcement on Monday night that head coach Steve Spurrier was stepping aside after more than a decade at the helm, the best medicine for Gamecock Nation was to get back on the field at Williams-Brice Stadium. The Gamecocks did just that on Saturday, with interim head coach Shawn Elliott enthusiastically leading the way for a Southeastern Conference tilt against Vanderbilt. One team would be guaranteed to carry a zero in the SEC win column from the game. Pharoh Cooper, Brandon Wilds and the Carolina defensive

Miscue lets Royals grab 2-0 ALCS lead Kenseth: Kansas not a ‘must-win’ BY DAVE SKRETTA The Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Ryan Goins saw the lazy fly leave Ben Zobrist’s bat and began to give chase from second base. Jose Bautista saw the same thing from right field and sprinted after the ball. Neither of the Blue Jays wound up catching it. A seemingly sure out turned into a hit when the ball fell in, beginning Kansas City’s 5-run rally against David Price in the seventh inning Saturday. The Royals rolled the rest of the way to a 6-3 victory over Toronto and a 2-0 lead in the AL Championship Series. “I put my glove up and pretty

KYLE BUSCH WINS XFINITY RACE AT KANSAS SPEEDWAY KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Kyle Busch raced to his fifth Xfinity Series victory of the year and record-extending 75th overall, outdueling Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Matt Kenseth on Saturday at Kansas Speedway. Busch became the winningest NASCAR driver in Kansas Speedway hisKYLE BUSCH tory with four. He also won Xfinity races in 2007 and 2014 and a NASCAR Truck event in 2014. After Kenseth led the first 117 laps and 148 in all, Busch grabbed the lead for good in his Toyota with 15 laps to go. Joey Logano was third, followed by Ty Dillon, Regan Smith and points leader Chris Buescher.

STEELE NARROWLY HANGS ONTO LEAD AT FRYS.COM OPEN NAPA, Calif. — Brendan Steele did just enough to keep the lead Saturday at the Frys.com Open, even though he missed a chance to do more. As one player after another was piling up birdies on the closing threehole stretch at Silverado, Steele managed three pars for a 3-under 69 and a one-shot lead over Andrew Loupe and

Kevin Na. Loupe had five straight birdies early and four straight birdies late for a 63 and was one shot behind. Na played the closing stretch in 3 under for a 64.

KO, PARK SHARE LEAD IN SOUTH KOREA INCHEON, South Korea — Lydia Ko and Sung Hyun Park rebounded to top the crowded leaderboard Saturday in the LPGA KEB Hana Bank Championship. Ko overcame a double bogey with two late birdies in a 3-under 69, and Park bounced back from a second-round 74 with a 67 on Sky 72’s Ocean Course. Ko and Park were at 13-under 203. American Lexi Thompson and South Korea’s Mirim Lee were a stroke back.

ALLEN, MCCARRON TIED IN SAN ANTONIO SAN ANTONIO — Defending champion Michael Allen shot a 3-under 69 on Saturday for a share of the lead with Scott McCarron in the Champions Tour’s San Antonio Championship.

Fred Couples was a stroke back along with Bernhard Langer, Scott Dunlap and first-round leader Wes Short Jr. Couples shot 69, Langer 68, Dunlap 71 and Short 72.

HADEN LIGHTHEADED, GOES TO LOCKER ROOM BEFORE USC-ND GAME SOUTH BEND, Ind. — USC athletic director Pat Haden was feeling lightheaded just before kickoff of the game against Notre Dame and was taken to the locker room. USC sports information director Tim Tessalone said Haden was sitting up in the locker room and appeared to be stable. He said Haden may return to the sideline. From staff, wire reports

“They had been taking my legs all night,” Anderson said. “When I saw him coming, I just flipped over his back. “I was surprised. I couldn’t’ believe that it happened.” Anderson said Simmon said nothing to him. “You could look at him and could

tell he couldn’t believe it happened,” Anderson said. It was easily the most spectacular play of an outstanding game for Anderson. He rushed for 122 yards and three touchdowns on just 13 carries, the vast majority of it coming in the first half. For the season, he’s rushed for 771 yards and 13 touchdowns on 111 carries for the 6-2 Gamecocks. All of this after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee early last season.

victory that would guarantee him one of the eight spots in the “eliminator’’ round. If not this week, then next at Talladega — an even bigger wildcard track. “For me it’s really no different. We try to show up and try to do the best we can every week,’’ Kenseth said. “Same this week. Obviously a win moves you on, but I don’t think this is a must-win. Just try to do the best we can and be ready on Sunday.’’ Kenseth has every reason to be optimistic this weekend. Start with the fact that he’s won twice at Kansas, has sat on the pole twice more, and put together six topfive finishes at the speedy mile-and-ahalf tri-oval. He’s led more than 500 laps in all, and has been in the top 10 in nine of his past 10 starts. Then, consider that his five victories this season are the most of any driver, and that his Joe Gibbs Racing stable won 13 times in all, more than any other team. So, does all that positive karma combined with his back-against-thewall situation mean Kenseth — who will start 11th on Sunday is more apt to take some chances in the 400-mile race? “The rewards are greater if you win, obviously. I don’t know if the penalty is worse or not’’ if a risky maneuver fails, he replied. “From what happened last week, we had a lot of things that got us to where we are, had a lot of things go wrong.’’ The former series champion won the pole and led 72 laps at Charlotte, but he tangled with Ryan Newman in Turn 4 and damaged his suspension. After a myriad of other problems trying to get his car straightened out, his right tire went down and he made hard contact with the wall. As a result, he dropped from first in points heading into the race to last among the drivers in the Chase, the 42nd-place finish ramping up the anxiety level over the next two weeks. “I didn’t watch it, to be honest with

Spartan stunner

Golson’s 300-yard game carries ’Noles past Cards

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Michigan State defensive back Jalen Watts-Jackson (20) runs toward the end zone for the game-winning touchdown after recovering a fumbled snap on a punt in the closing seconds of the Spartans’ 27-23 victory over Michigan on Saturday in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Watts-Jackson’s fumble recovery for touchdown on botched punt gives Michigan St. shocking victory over rival Wolverines in final seconds ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Jalen Watts-Jackson grabbed the football on a flubbed punt attempt and lumbered 38 yards into the end zone for a touchdown on the final play of the game, giving No. 7 Michigan State a shocking 27-23 win over No. 12 Michigan in one of college football’s most unlikely endings. With the Wolverines ahead 23-21 and 10 seconds left, Michigan punter Blake O’Neill bobbled a low snap, and spun around to try and make the kick. But he was hit, the ball popped free and Watts-Jackson caught it, broke a few tackles in the final yards and made it into the end zone. Michigan State (7-0, 3-0 Big Ten) has won seven of eight in the series, its best stretch in more than a half-century. Michigan (5-2, 2-1) lost for the first time since opening the season with a setback at Utah. The Wolverines were seconds away from sealing the win after Sione Houma ran for two TDs, Kenny Allen kicked three field goals and forcing the Spartans to turn the ball over on downs with

1:47 left at its 45. The Spartans had only one timeout left and used it after the next snap. Michigan had two and coach Jim Harbaugh used both, including one with 10 seconds left to set up the final punt. (2) BAYLOR 62 WEST VIRGINIA 38

WACO, Texas — Corey Coleman caught three more touchdowns and second-ranked Baylor won its FBS-best 19th consecutive home game, getting some measure of revenge with a 62-38 victory over West Virginia. (17) IOWA 40 (20) NORTHWESTERN 10

EVANSTON, Ill. — Reserve running back Akrum Wadley ran for 192 yards and tied a school record with four rushing touchdowns to carry No. 17 Iowa over No. 20 Northwestern 40-10. (19) OKLAHOMA 55 KANSAS STATE 0

MANHATTAN, Kan. — Baker Mayfield threw for five touchdowns and No. 19 Oklahoma bounced back from its

Red River upset to beat Kansas State 55-0, the first time the Wildcats have been shut out since 1996. (22) TOLEDO 63 EASTERN MICHIGAN 20

TOLEDO, Ohio — Phillip Ely threw for 327 yards and four touchdowns as No. 22 Toledo improved to 6-0 for the first time since 1997 with a 63-20 win over Eastern Michigan. LATE FRIDAY UTAH STATE 52 (21) BOISE STATE 26 LOGAN, Utah — Marwin Evans returned an interception 90 yards for a touchdown as time expired before halftime, and Utah State turned Boise State’s seven first-half turnovers into 35 points in the Aggies’ 52-26 victory over the No. 21 Broncos.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Everett Golson threw for372 yards and three touchdowns as No. 11 Florida State rallied in the second half to beat Louisville 41-21 on Saturday. It is the eighth 300yard game of GOLSON Golson’s career and his second since transferring earlier this summer. A 70yard touchdown pass to Kermit Whitfield, who had nine receptions for 172 yards, gave the Seminoles a 20-14 lead with 8:05 remaining. The win gives Florida State a 6-0 record for the third straight season. The Seminoles are 4-0 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The Cardinals drop to 2-4 and 1-2 in the ACC. Dalvin Cook had his fourth 100-yard game of the season, gaining 163 yards on 22 carries. Louisville’s Lamar Jackson passed for a careerhigh 307 yards and James Quick had five receptions for 130 yards and three touchdowns. VIRGINIA 44 SYRACUSE 38

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Jordan Ellis scored on a 3-yard run in the third overtime and Virginia rallied to beat Syracuse 44-38, ending the Cavaliers’ 2-game losing streak. Ellis carried on three consecutive plays against an exhausted Orange defense, which was on the field for the last 6:52 of regulation as Virginia (2-4, 1-1) drove for the tying field goal. Ellis’ runs covered 3 yards, minus-1 yard and then 3 yards again for the clinching score. The Orange (3-3, 1-1) lost their third straight, failing to score in the third overtime after Eric Dungey was sacked for a 6-yard loss on third-and-10 and Cole Murphy missed a 48-yard field goal attempt.

Alabama (6-1, 3-1 SEC) built a 28-6 lead in the second quarter thanks to 55- and 6-yard touchdown runs by Henry and interception returns of 33 and 93 yards. Christian Kirk returned a punt 68 yards for a score just before halftime and Texas A&M (5-1, 2-1) added another touchdown on a 3-yard reception by Ricky Seals-Jones after a fumble early in the third to cut it to 28-20. But Alabama kicked two field goals before Minkah Fitzpatrick’s 55-yard interception return for a score — his second of the day — made it 41-23 and sealed the victory. MEMPHIS 37 (13) OLE MISS 24

Smith, Allen lead Citadel past Samford BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Isiaha Smith ran for 74 yards and three scores, and Dominique Allen added 166 yards rushing and a touchdown to lead The Citadel to a 44-25 win over Samford on Saturday. Vinny Miller chipped in with 68 yards on nine carries and an 8-yard scoring run, which put The Citadel (4-2, 3-0 Southern Conference) in front, 14-7, for good. The Citadel defense forced four three-and-outs and four turnovers. Just 19 seconds after Smith’s second touchdown, Mark Thomas had a strip-sack of Michael Eubank, which DeVonta Delaney returned 25 yards to give The Citadel a 35-14 lead with 37 seconds left in the second quarter. On the first drive of the second half, Delaney picked off a Eubanks pass and seven play later, Smith scored his third touchdown and Samford (3-3, 1-2) trailed by at least three scores the rest of the way. Karel Hamilton had 15 receptions for 220 yards — both career highs — and a score for Samford. SOUTH CAROLINA STATE 49 HOWARD 10

ORANGEBURG — Chris Pauling and Darius Leonard each returned interceptions for scores and Lynard Jamison had a 91yard punt return for a touchdown to help South Carolina State beat Howard 49-10. Jamison added eight receptions for 70 yards and another touchdown while Mykal Moody finished with three catches for 107 yards, including a 67-yard touchdown that gave South Carolina State (3-3, 2-1 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) a 21-0 lead with 4:32 left in the first quarter. On the first play from scrimmage, Pauling picked off a pass from Jamie Cunningham and returned it 42 yards for a score. After the teams exchanged punts, Howard (0-6, 0-4) drove to the South Carolina State 34 before a 65-yard pick-6 by Leonard gave the Bulldogs a 14-0 lead midway through the first quarter. Howard had just 217 total yards and is now averaging just 196.3 yards per game. CHARLESTON SOUTHERN 10 PRESBYTERIAN 7

CLINTON — Darius Hammond scored on a 4-yard run midway through the fourth quarter and Charleston Southern held on to beat Presbyterian 10-7. Hammond fumbled into the end zone, but a review confirmed that Hammond had possession when the ball crossed the goal line. Presbyterian got the ball on its 11 with 3:48 left, but Kaleb Griffin was intercepted after back-to-back sacks, and the Buccaneers ran out the clock. Hammond finished with 70 yards on 12 carries for Charleston Southern (5-1, 2-0 Big South). Griffin was 9 of 18 for 55 yards and was intercepted on two of Presbyterian’s final three possessions. Darrell Bridges had 26 carries for 104 yards and scored on a 5-yard run in the second quarter to give Presbyterian (1-6, 0-2) a 7-3 lead. WESTERN CAROLINA 24

START FROM PAGE B1 unit did everything in their power to make sure that team would not be the Gamecocks. USC fans could finally exhale after Skai Moore intercepted a Johnny McCrary pass with 6:37 left and returned it 11 yards to the Vandy 16. The Gamecocks would get a 22-yard field goal from Elliott Fry, his fourth of the game on six attempts, for a 19-10 lead that the defense would make stand for a muchneeded Carolina win. The win ran USC’s record to 3-4 overall and 1-4 in the SEC while Vandy fell to 2-4 and 0-3. The Commodores are still searching for their first conference win under second-year head coach Derek Mason. After the game, Elliott referred to the result as “one heck of a team win. “Monday night we had no clue what was happening, to tell you the truth,” Elliott said. “I told our guys in there that ‘You had your back backs against the wall all week.’ They never batted an eye, they kept fighting, they kept playing and they did everything we asked of them.” With Homecoming festivities going on, Elliott said that past Gamecock greats showing up for the pregame Gamecock Walk played a key role in USC securing the win. “They knew what we were up against,” Elliott said. “I got the message out and said we need some support. These guys (our team) needed a pat on the back and to see those guys show up and embrace us when we got off that bus was unbelievable. I wish I could shake every one of their hands.” After the late field goal, Vandy drove to the USC 17 before Moore came away with the trifecta of a sack of McCrary, forced fumble and fumble recovery at the 33 with 3:53 left in the game.

South Carolina interim head coach Shawn Elliott, center, is doused after the Gamecocks won his inaugural game 19-10 over Vanderbilt on Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia. from quarterback Perry Orth to Cooper at the 6:34 mark of the third quarter got the Gamecocks in the end zone for the first and only time, putting Carolina up 13-10. Moments later, Bryson Allen-Williams intercepted a McCrary pass at the Vandy 45. Wilds would be stopped at the 1 on third down, setting up a 19-yard Fry field goal for a 16-10 Carolina lead. Turnovers plagued the Gamecocks after Fry’s third field goal of the game. First came a David Williams fumble at the Vandy 48, then an Orth interception that put the Commodores at the Gamecock 44. Vandy failed to convert on the Williams fumble, and Chris Lammons intercepted a McCrary pass on the next play after Jahmel McIntosh’s interception of Orth. Orth’s touchdown pass to Cooper came moments after Vandy had gone up 10-6 with a 23-yard Tommy Openshaw field goal. The big play of the 10-play, 73yard drive was a 41-yard Darrius Sims run. Cooper closed with seven

receptions for for 160 yards while Wilds, returning to the field for the first time in four weeks, ran for 119 yards on 24 carries. Spurred by his long run, Sims led the Vandy offense with six rushes for 104 yards. The Gamecocks got an early boost from the defense as Jonathan Walton forced a fumble on the Commodores’ first possession that was recovered by T.J. Holloman and returned 11 yards to the Vandy 24. USC failed to get a first down after Orth was sacked for an 11-yard loss on the drive’s opening play, but Fry came on to boot a 47yard field goal for a 3-0 lead with 13:21 left in the opening quarter. Orth drove the Gamecocks down the field for another field goal on USC’s next possession. The drive began at the Gamecock 13 and went 74 yards in 11 plays before Fry knocked a 31-yarder through the uprights to push the lead to 6-0 with 6:49 on the clock. Key plays were a 28-yard pass to D.J. Neal and a 24-yarder to

TIGERS

Watson’s long scoring throw to Scott in the third quarter was a perfectly lofted pass that the speedy receiver easily ran under and brought into the end zone. Watson ended up 15 yards

shy of his career-best 435 yards passing in a win over North Carolina last season in his first Clemson start. Boston College entered as the nation’s best defense, a spot Clemson held at the

end of last season. The Tigers defenders took it as a challenge to outplay the Eagles and did just that. BC finished with 246 yards of offense. Watson, meanwhile, struggled to connect with his receivers early on. He missed several wide-open receivers on long downfield routes and threw two interceptions in the half. Boston College came into the game with just one pick all season. The first interception by Justin Simmons set up the Eagles on Clemson’s 20 and they quickly cashed in on Smith’s 5-yard TD pass to Bobby Wolford. Linebacker Steven Daniels had the other right before halftime, leading to Mike Knoll’s 21-yard field goal that drew the Eagles to within 17-10 at the half. Clemson has spent all but one week of the season so far at home. Things will toughen up the next several weeks. The Tigers play at Miami and at North Carolina State the following two Saturdays before returning home Nov. 7 for a showdown with undefeated Florida State.

Price’s pitches — until that lazy fly ball by Zobrist changed everything. They proceeded to string together four singles and a double in their go-ahead inning, getting run-producing hits from Gordon, Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas and Alex Rios, along with an RBI groundout from Kendrys Morales. It was a monumental collapse for Price, who had at one point recorded 18 straight outs. He fell to 0-7 in seven postseason starts, including a loss to Texas in their AL Division Series. “I gave up hits at the wrong time,’’ he said. “I felt good. It’s a very scrappy team. They put the ball in play. They continued to battle. It’s just a tough loss.’’

Now, the Blue Jays head home for Game 3 on Monday night in dire trouble. All but three of the previous 25 teams to take a 2-0 lead in the best-of-7 era have won the series — though Toronto did rally from the same hole to beat the Rangers in five games in the division round. “We’ve been here before,’’ shortstop Troy Tulowitzki said, “but it’s not a place we want to be.’’ For most of the afternoon, the Blue Jays were exactly where they wanted to be. Goins drove in a run off Ventura in the third, snapping an 18-inning scoreless streak by Royals pitchers. Edwin Encarnacion and Troy Tulowitzki added to the lead in the sixth.

And the way Price was carving up the lineup, a 3-0 advantage looked to be enough. The only bad pitch he threw the first six innings was his first, which Alcides Escobar swatted for a leadoff single. Price threw firstpitch strikes to 12 of 14 batters at one point, and struck out the side in the sixth inning, giving no indication he was about to implode. “We just needed to catch a break,’’ Moustakas said. “Price was throwing the ball unbelievable. We got the early hit and he was kind of cruising. We just needed to find a way to get a runner on base so we could do what we can, keep the line moving.’’

FROM PAGE B1 coming in to lead the Football Bowl Subdivision. Boston College hadn’t allowed so many yards since losing the Independence Bowl to Arizona State after the 2013 season. The Eagles (3-4) opened 0-4 in league play for the first time since 2012, when they finished 1-7 in the ACC. Jeff Smith, Boston College’s first true freshman to start since Chase Rettig in 2010, struggled throughout to move the offense against Clemson’s defense. Smith finished 7-of-22 for 87 yards and a 1-yard touchdown run in the game’s final two minutes. Watson was far from perfect — he threw two interceptions that led to the Eagles’ first 10 points — and was off target on his long throws early on. Still, the sophomore steadied himself and led the Tigers to their 34th straight win over an unranked opponent and a school-record 14th consecutive win at Death Valley.

Cooper. A 43-yard Sean Kelly punt pinned the Commodores at their 2 early in the second quarter. Vandy managed two first downs before the drive stalled at the 31, with the Gamecocks taking over at their 32 after the ensuing punt. Orth connected with Jerell Adams for a 25-yard completion to open the drive and added a 15-yard completion to Cooper to get to the Commodores 31. An 11yard Wilds run got it to the 20 but the drive stalled and Fry clanged a 39-yard field goal attempt off the right upright. After the miss, McCrary drove the Commodores from their 21 to the USC 7, where they faced third-andgoal. McCrary’s pass would fall incomplete, but TJ Holloman would be flagged for targeting on the play, resulting in an ejection. With a new set of downs from the 3, McCrary would connect with Caleb Scott on third down for a 4-yard score, with Openshaw’s PAT kick putting Vandy up 7-6 with 2:21 to go in the half.

City dwellers ‘hole up in the woods’ No McMansions in these beautiful rustic settings BY BETH J. HARPAZ AP Travel Editor

luscious new book of photos called “Cabin Porn” isn’t

inviting readers to hole up in the woods to look at naked bodies. It is inviting them to look at photos about holing up in the woods. The book is the brainchild of tech entrepreneur Zach Klein, co-founder of Vimeo, who bought some land in upstate New York in 2010 with his wife and friends. They started collecting photos of cabins as “inspiration to guide us and motivate us” to build their own. Eventually, they built some cabins on the property they call Beaver Brook, and they shared the photo collection in a popular Tumblr blog called “Cabin Porn.” They also opened a school at Beaver Brook where individuals can learn to timber-frame a building from scratch in a few days. All of that led to the “Cabin Porn” book, published by Little Brown, edited by Klein and aptly subtitled, “Inspiration for your quiet place somewhere.” Ironically, Klein says the title “Cabin Porn” is “difficult for me to justify” because “it was never a fantasy. My friends and I were out there doing it.” “Cabin Porn” isn’t the only sign that cabins are having a moment. The New York Times’ T magazine recently proclaimed in a headline

that cabins are the “New American Dream.” Pinterest is loaded with accounts like “Rustic Cabin Life” and “Cozy Cabins.” Students at Harvard’s Millennial Housing Lab just launched a project called Getaway, which offers tiny houses in rural settings for rent by the night for city dwellers looking for an escape. Why cabins? Simplicity and immersion in nature explain much of the appeal. “There’s something really satisfying about being reminded that life outdoors is really affordable,” Klein said. “You don’t need a McMansion to enjoy the woods.” But while cabins might be simple structures, the images in “Cabin Porn” are spectacular and compelling, even when the buildings are little more than ramshackle shelters tacked together from scavenged boards. The rustic settings are beautiful, on mountaintops and by the water’s edge, in deserts and the woods. And the dwellings’ designs are intriguing, from converted vehicles and silos to treehouses, pods, sheds and bungalows — along with more conventional woodframe homes with pitched roofs. The term “cabin” has a particular American sensibility, Klein notes, part of the narrative of taming the frontier and cutting down trees to build homes and settlements. Log cabins symbolize “resilience and self-reliance,” he said. But Americana is not really the attraction for him. “What I’m drawn to is creating minimal comfort outdoors so that I can be as close to nature as

He also notes that rustic cottages are part of the culture in many places, especially northern Europe. The book’s photos range from a shack in a sheep-herding camp in New Zealand to a boathouse on a lake in Germany. Cabin-love is also related to the tiny house movement. “The American dream is exhausting,” Klein said. “Having to live up to this model of largeness is really draining. People are drawn to the possibility that we can be happy with a lot less.” Sarah Barnard, a Los Angeles-based interior designer who specializes in sustainability and healthy living, has a number of clients who have high-pressure jobs and nice homes in the city, but own cabins for weekend escapes. “In the city, we cannot help but be influenced by fashion and our neighbors and advertising and all these things that impact how we purchase and how we decorate and what our daily lives look like,” she said. “Whereas cabin living allows us ... a kind of freedom from the confines of those social expectations.” Those inspired to pursue their own cabin in the woods might want to know, however, that reality can be more complicated than the ideal.

The book “Cabin Porn: Inspiration for your quiet place somewhere“ shows a “teakettle house’”in Galveston, Texas. Klein admits that the cabins he and his friends built at Beaver Brook “ran into problems,” from mice infestations to family members who couldn’t handle the lack of amenities. They’ve since built a building with plumbing and electricity “that’s weather-tight and rodentproof, so we could be there all four seasons,” he said. “Now my mom will come to visit.” Klein’s sojourns in the woods have also left him

with Lyme disease, which comes from tick bites and is common in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic. It’s “a reminder,” he said, “that nature isn’t move-in ready. It’s not sterilized. It’s very much a force that has to be reckoned with. It’s humbling.” It’s also a good reason to have plumbing in your cabin. “We needed to make it easier for showers,” Klein said, “to create proper conditions so people could check for ticks and clean things.”

Sumter School District SELFLESS ACTS ABOUND Sumter School District was closed for five days during the historic flooding in our community. While the students and employees were not in school, many were still out and about helping their students, neighbors and friends. Alice Drive Elementary School staff members met that Thursday to gather cleaning supplies, clothing and food for families affected by the recent inclement weather. Faculty and staff members delivered the items to families in need and made donations to United Ministry. Willow Drive Elementary School has a robust backpack program, in conjunction with Aldersgate United Methodist, which provides food for needy children to have on weekends. Four Willow Drive employees gathered the items the students would have received and delivered it to his / her homes. F.J. DeLaine Elementary School

opened on two hours on the Saturday before students returned to school for community members to drop off cleaning supplies, water and toiletry items for distribution to students from DeLaine. Many Lemira Elementary School faculty and staff members concerned about the welfare of their students met at the school that Tuesday and walked to Harmony Court and surrounding areas. Some of the students had been evacuated during the flood. The employees walked back to the school with many of the students in tow as a way to assist parents and do something positive with the children. Once at school, employees and their family members read books to students, colored and just talked and interacted. Some former Lemira students joined in and read to the younger students as well. Parents and students from the Crestwood High School band joined Lemira on that Saturday morning to unpack and sort donations Lemira received from the swim and cross-country teams from Riverside High School in Greer. Riverside’s swim team competed against the St. Joseph High School swim team in Greenville to donate the most items. Donations included school uniforms, backpacks, toiletries and other clothing. Parents have been asked to complete a form to request what they need for their students. A Furman Middle School guidance counselor had 4 feet of water in her home, and the Furman principal and his son worked at her home for three days helping remove carpet and gypsum wallboard. A teacher from Cherryvale Elementary School took all the counselor’s wet blankets, towels and other linens home to wash and dry. Another teacher and her daughter from Cherryvale volunteered at Bethesda Church of God to distribute water, toiletries, cleaning supplies and the like and also helped with cleaning out damaged homes. Numerous members of the Crestwood faculty and staff banded together to help one of their own who was flooded. Oakland Primary teachers collected clothing and other essentials and dispersed them to families. Some of the teachers worked to help the flood victims who had damage to their homes. One of the teachers lost everything in her home. The principal led a team of teachers who helped to wash down the walls, dry some of the belongings and take up the carpet. The staff generously donated more than $1,700 to help the family cover some of the recovery costs. Other Oakland faculty and staff members visited students at their homes and gave them coloring books and crayons. Some cooked for first responders, and others helped unload water. One teacher made care packages to the deployed National Guard troops. Others washed clothes for a family who had been evacuated to a hotel. Crosswell Drive Elementary School staff distributed clothes, water and personal care packages to students and families on the Saturday before school reopened in the school’s multi-purpose building. Area businesses have been extremely generous with donations to assist in the effort. A Millwood Elementary School teacher started the Sumter Refuge Exchange page on Facebook that Monday. The site was intended to be a person-toperson change of goods for those in need due to the flood. By the end of the day, the site had grown so large and the need was so great she collaborated with David Witherspoon, the owner of the Intimidators building at 810 S. Pike Road to start a drop-off and pick-up location. The site was open Tuesday through Friday for families in need. Many Millwood teachers and staff volunteered their time at this location

by sorting clothing, helping families find sizes and carrying in donations that were being delivered. As of Oct. 10, the location was moved to Love Covenant Church, 245 Oswego Highway, where they will be able to stay open until there is no longer a need. The Facebook page continues to update news on shelters, donations sites, needs for these sites and other helpful tips. Pocalla Springs Elementary was open for three hours on the Saturday before the students returned to accept donations of cleaning supplies, clothing items, towels, washcloths, sheets, and blankets as well as canned goods and other non-perishable foods. R.E. Davis Elementary School was also open that Saturday to accept donations and distributing water and other supplies. They reached out to those within their school and community who needed assistance. Students and teachers from Lakewood and Sumter High schools and Bates Middle School joined forces with a local church and a civic organization to serve lunch to the first responders from throughout the county. The Lakewood volleyball team also donated meals to first responders. The Sumter High School baseball team and coaches worked with United Ministries. They picked up furniture donations and assisted in re-building a fence and helping remove items from a damaged home. Persons from the various divisions at district office, the food services division and the maintenance department worked tirelessly at Sumter High School when it was used as a shelter and also in the schools to make sure they were ready to reopen. Transportation personnel spent a great deal of time traveling the bus routes and figuring out alternative routes for those roads and bridges damaged by the water. Others worked with emergency management and assorted agencies to volunteer their times and talents and to keep the lines of communication open for all. On the first day back, Rafting Creek Elementary School provided juice and received donations of doughnuts from Krispy Kreme to welcome their students back to school and provide a place to share their feelings. They spent the first part of the day talking with students and listening to their experiences during the week. Alice Drive Middle School offered guidance sessions to students the first day back and supplied care packages, which had toiletry items, hand towels, and a stuffed animal to students displaced because of the flood. They also gave out donated school supplies to those in need. These are just a few examples of the work done by the employees of Sumter School District to assist those in need. Many other schools are still helping and planning ways to help those in need. Superintendent J. Frank Baker thanked the district family for their compassion and giving spirit during the trying times. He said, “I commend all who have done so much to assist your school or home community during this difficult week and thank you for your selfless acts of kindness toward those in need. Together, we will get through this.”

because of the flooding in the Sumter community, the students were back in classes on Monday with a week’s extension on the first quarter grading period. The 2015 Honor Society Induction and Parent-Teacher Fellowship have been delayed until Oct. 29. SCS has been blessed in that the property suffered minimal damage to the classrooms with only a few leaks and light fixture issues. As a way of ministering to the SCS families, teachers worked free daycare in shifts Wednesday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The attendance averaged around 13, and several parents and grandparents were able to resume their usual duties at work or pick up the devastation of their homes without having to worry about finding childcare. — Miriam Marritt

ter and several surrounding townships. This enterprise was a result of the creative genius of Col. Thomas Wilson and has left an indelible mark on the geographical landscape of Sumter. The intent of this article is to apprise our readers of the landmarks that were constructed in the building of this railroad and to revisit the history of this important railroad. The information, photos and quotes used in preparing this article were retrieved from The Item archives. In early August of 1935, the Northwestern Railroad operated its last train, thus ending a service that spanned 41 years. The final train ran from Camden to Wilson’s Mill and then returned to Sumter. There was the possibility that no train would ever use those tracks again. The railroad comprised 80 miles of track extending from Sumter to St. Paul, to Wilson’s Mill and then to Camden. In addition there was a spur that ran from Seale’s Siding to Rose Hill. “On July 26, John Wilson, receiver of the road, received an order from Federal District Court ordering discontinuance of service, effective 12:01 August 5. However, Mr. Wilson was ordered to maintain temporary mail service between Sumter and Wilson’s Mill.” The Northwestern Railroad had its origin in 1884 as a logging train traveling from Wilson’s Mill to Summerton. The enterprise was begun by Thomas Wilson who built the line to haul logs to his mill and later return with lumber on the Atlantic Coast Line after the milling was complete. “In 1888 the road was chartered as a common carrier. In 1895 the C.S. & N. Railroad went into bankruptcy and the Northwestern purchased that portion of its line running from the Santee River to Sumter. The line from St. Paul to the river, however, was not used. In 1900 construction of the line from Sumter to Camden was started and was completed in 1901. In 1913 a spur line for the handling of freight was built from Seale’s siding to Rose Hill. The track was in continued use from the time of its completion.” The railroad was a successful operation until 1929 when increased competition from trucks and the declining lumber business began to take an increased percentage of the business, causing the railroad to lose money. The losses continued to mount until Oct. 1, 1934, when the business was placed in receivership. The railroad had always acted as an independent line and had never been “owned or con-

Wilson served as president of the railroad until his death in July of 1921. His son John was elected president following his father’s death and held that position until the road ceased operation. J.A. Raffield, who was connected with the Northwestern for 23 years, resigned his position as superintendent of the railroad to become city manager of Sumter on Sept. 1, 1934. “The passing of the Northwestern was an example of what was happening to railroads throughout the country. A large majority of all the roads were operating at heavy losses and many were in receivership.” In November of 1935 the Northwestern was sold to the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company of Connecticut for $86,000. This sale included all of the lines consisting of approximately 76 miles of the railroad which originally ran from “Wilson’s Mill in Clarendon County through Summerton to Millard, also from St. Paul through Millard, to Sumter and from Sumter to Camden, with another branch line running from Seale’s Siding to Rose Hill. All roadbeds, rights of way, buildings and rolling stock were also included in the sale.” In February of 1936 work was begun on the removal of the rails from the non-operational Northwestern Railroad. Two work gangs were assigned the task of removing the tracks with one beginning work at Davis Station continuing to Summerton — the other beginning at Rose Hill working towards Seale’s Siding. The rails were brought to Sumter to be sorted according to weight and were shipped from there. The physical property of the rail was purchased by the Atlantic Coast Line Corporation of Connecticut at public auction in Sumter. In August of 1945 “… the city of Sumter received a deed from the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company for a

PANORAMA

Tab Hunter documents his life BY NICK THOMAS Tinseltown Talks

decade after penning his best-selling 2005 autobiography, blonde-haired, blue-eyed ‘50s movie heartthrob Tab Hunter has transferred his life story to the big screen in the 90-minute documentary, “Tab Hunter Confidential.” “It’s been playing at film festivals this year to great reviews, and this month will be opening in selected theaters around the country,” said Hunter from his Santa Barbara home (see www. tabhunter.com for dates and locations). Originally from New York City, Hunter moved to California as a young boy with his mother. After his older brother taught him to ride at 12, horses would become Tab’s lifelong passion and indirectly lead the shy Catholic lad to Hollywood. “I was a stable boy with a shovel in my hands when I was noticed by Dick Clayton, James Dean’s agent,” said Hunter, who found himself marooned on a deserted island with glamorous Linda Darnell in 1952’s “Island of Desire,” his first major feature. “Linda was a Texas beauty and a huge star at the time. I was shaking with nerves when I had to kiss her during the screen test,” Hunter recalled. “But she just said ‘Relax, I’m good luck for newcomers.’” Within a few years, after freelancing before signing with Warner Bros., Hunter was sharing top billing with leading ladies such as Natalie Wood, Rita Hayworth and Lana Turn-

er, and co-starring with actors such as Fred Astaire, Robert Mitchum and John Wayne. “Only a few years earlier, I was admiring them from a movie theater seat,” said Hunter. “Suddenly, I was working with them.” In the 1959 western “They Came to Cordura,” Hunter worked with Gary Cooper and Rita Hayworth, whom Hunter remembers as a quiet beauty. “I thought she was rather introverted, and when you met her, you just wanted to put your arms around her and hold her. There was just something very touching about her.” The movie, however, was catastrophic for co-star Dick York who suffered a severe back injury while filming. It would later force him to leave the “Bewitched” TV series in 1969 and eventually end his career. “It happened toward the end of shooting when we were on a railroad handcart between St.

George (Utah) and Las Vegas,” recalled Hunter. “But he was a professional. I think he wore a brace to finish and had the support of everyone to get him through.” Hunter also launched a musical career at the height of his fame after his 1957 hit “Young Love” reached no. 1 on the U.S. music charts. “I recorded it on a Saturday, and when I heard it on the car radio the following week, I almost hit a palm tree on Sunset Boulevard,” he recalled. But studio head Jack Warner wasn’t impressed. “He read me the riot act saying ‘we own you for everything.’ When I pointed out Warner’s didn’t have a recording company he said ‘we do now,’ and he created Warner Bros. Records.” While Hunter’s star dimmed once he reached his 30s, he continued to work into the 1980s and experienced success again with the comedy “Polyester” and the western spoof “Lust in the Dust.” A private person throughout his career, Hunter publicly acknowledged for the first time in his book and subsequent documentary that he has been gay all his life. Today, the 84-year-old actor remains pragmatic about his revelation. “People always want to label you and I hate labels,” he said. “I’ve never been comfortable in the public eye or discussing my private life. But life’s a journey we are all on, and I wanted to tell my complete story. What’s important on that journey is the kind of person you are.”

Officials evacuated 150 to 175 Sumter residents just south of Second Mill Pond between 11:30 and 12:30 Thursday night after rising waters overwhelmed a runoff drain, washing out a 40-foot section of the dam parallel to the bridge. Sumter City Public Works Director Ed Davis said that overflow water from Second Mill had exceeded by three times what the runoff drain is designed to handle. “Second Mill dam is gone,” Sumter County Civil Defense Director Vic Jones said, adding that all officials can do is wait for the pond to drain and keep an eye on the bridge. • Wilson Hall head coach Chuck McCord knew before the game against Calhoun Academy ever started that the passing game would not be a key component in his Barons’ offensive attack.

With that in mind, McCord opted to let the Cavaliers try and stop the run straight up the middle.

All 46 of the Barons’ offensive plays were of the running variety. • Tom Lewis rolled the dice and came up a winner at Memorial Stadium Friday night. Trailing 14-13 in overtime after a four-yard touchdown run by Martin Burns on fourth down, Lewis elected to forgo the conversion kick and try for two points and victory. Burns crashed over the right side of his line – the same area that had produced his touchdown run moments before – to give the Gamecocks a 15-14 victory over Spring Valley. • In the wake of allegations of financial mismanagement, the State Law Enforcement Division is probing expenditures of Sumter School District 2 board members. The district received questionnaires from SLED which focused on board expenditures and practices, but not on specific trustees. Superintendent Elijah S. McCants said, “It is my understanding it is only a preliminary investigation,” he said. McCants said a SLED official told him that a complaint from a county citizen about expenditures led to the investigation. • When C.Y. Chu toured Sumter in March to promote Taiwanese investment in the United States, local govern-

ment and business officials tried to convince him that he had found the perfect spot for his countrymen to build a manufacturing facility or two. Chu, the consul general of the Southeastern United States for the Republic of China, was told of Sumter’s advantageous tax structure, quality educational and vocational facilities, its growing industrial parks and the state-of-the-art health care in the area. But Chu and the Taiwanese businessmen with him were perhaps more impressed by the 1,017-seat Patriot Hall auditorium and Sumter’s enthusiasm for the visual and performing arts than anything else they saw. • Friends described former Sumter postmaster W. Loring Lee Jr. today as a “true Southern gentleman” who was fascinated with his heritage. Lee died at his home. He was 82. “Even though I didn’t know him that well, I had the highest of regards for Mr. Lee,” Sumter Postmaster Earle Reese said. Mrs. John Mahon, a good friend, called Lee “a perfect gentleman of the old South. He was always a perfect gentleman. Anyone that knew him will tell you that.” Lee entered the postal service in 1954 as Sumter’s acting postmaster and was made permanent postmaster 15 months later. He remained in that position for 25 years. • A rural Sumter County church opened its doors to 125 residents evacuated as the Lynches River continued to swell, flooding homes near the Florence County line.

Mrs. Daisy Wilson Cave was in her 20’s when she married 75-year-old Henry Benjamin Cave, previously a soldier with the Third Regiment of the South Carolina Cavalry. About 75 people attended the funeral and burial of Mrs. Cave, whose age is believed to have been between 97 and 105. Members of the South Carolina Sons of Confederate Veterans, dressed in Confederate uniforms and carrying both the Confederate and United States flags, led the funeral processional and fired a salute in honor of the Confederate widow. • Members of three families said a brief prayer at Rafting Creek Baptist Church Cemetery before laying their loved ones to rest for a second and, they hope, final time. Floodwaters unearthed three caskets at the 3 ½-acre church cemetery near Rembert Oct. 11 and upended another four or five burial vaults. Flooding was so bad that a deacon and volunteers stood by to rescue the caskets before they were swept away under the S.C. 261 bridge by the flood-swollen Rafting Creek.

Crop aid may fall short of needs Area farmers gather to hear their options BY JIM HILLEY jim@theitem.com Area farmers packed the main dining room at the Barn House Restaurant in Lake City on Thursday night to hear representatives from agencies involved in helping farmers recover from a devastating year of drought and deluge. Hosted by East Clarendon High School Future Farmers of America teacher Bert Beasley, the farmers listened as a parade of speakers tried to spell out what farmers could expect in the way of aid. The farmers didn’t seem very encouraged by what they heard. “Basically the takeaway from that meeting is there is no help, there will be no help,” said Jay Willard, who farms in the Gable area. Help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency may come mostly in the form of loans, and traditional crop insurance may be the main source of relief,

Government and private agency representatives listen to farmers’ concerns about crop aid after drought and flooding during a meeting near Lake City on Thursday evening. farmers were told. “Call your adjustor before you do anything to your crop,” said Ashley Altman, representing ArborOne Farm Credit. “Before you try to harvest it or pick it, get your adjustor out there to look at it because we don’t know what’s out there.” She said ArborOne insures farms in seven area counties. “We know there is an extreme need for help,” she said. Randall Morris, from Me-

herrin, an agricultural seed and chemical supply company, said farmers need to get with their insurance adjusters as soon as possible. “Document your profitability and expenses,” he said. “If you get no other help than a loan, we will need to adjust.” Agents from Clemson Extension passed out damage assessment report forms to the farmers in attendance. Clemson Extension Agent Jacob Stoker said the agency

was trying to get “real numbers.” “We’re here to help; we will try to do everything we can,” he said. “It will be several months before we know the real damage,” said Dr. Thomas Dobbins, director of the extension. He agreed with many of the farmers present that taking out loans is not the answer. “You can’t borrow yourself out of debt,” he said. Stoker said extension agents could visit farms to help assess the damage, but farmers will need to be prepared for their arrival. “Once we get on the farm, we will need to get and go,” he said. Representatives from the offices of U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham and U.S. Rep. Jim Clyburn stressed that farmers would have to help push for an act of Congress to help South Carolina’s recovery. Celia Urquhart, Pee Dee district director for Sen. Graham, said it is unlikely any bill could get through Congress before January. “I wish I could bring good news to you,” she said. She dismissed criticism of the senator’s vote against aid after Hurricane Sandy.

“That was a $61 billion legislation, and $20 billion of it was pork,” she said. “Sen. Graham has promised a clean bill only for what South Carolina needs.” Kenneth Barnes, district director for Rep. Clyburn, said the small size of South Carolina’s delegation in Washington would make getting an aid bill passed more difficult. “When they try to get stuff for farmers, some states just don’t understand,” he said. “This is going to take a little while; things are not coming down as fast as people would like.” Barnes urged anyone who is denied aid by FEMA to appeal. Farmers were urged to begin a grassroots campaign of calling and writing to politicians, writing letters to newspapers and generally “keeping the pressure on.” “It is going to be up to the farmers to band together and write letters and get a congressional vote to make something happen,” Willard said. “We need to make sure people understand the severity of the loss incurred.” One farmer said he needs aid now, not next year. “Many of these farmers in here will not be in business next year,” he said.

FROM STAFF REPORTS Sumter has been selected a top retirement destination by Where to Retire, a magazine geared toward helping people with retirement relocation decisions. Sumter is profiled in a feature titled “8 Appealing Low-Cost Cities” in the November/December issue, which was available nationwide on Tuesday. Where to Retire Editor Annette Fuller said these eight cities appeal to retirees for more reasons than just financial perks. “Walkable downtowns with unique shops, thriving arts communities that offer a variety of cultural opportunities and outdoor adventures in some of the most scenic parts of the country abound in these cities,” Fuller said. “The good life is certainly not sacrificed for the sake of cost. It’s only enhanced by the lower property taxes, homeowners’ insurance, groceries, utilities, health care and transportation — all of which are factors when determining where to retire.” Each year, 700,000 Americans relocate to new towns to retire. Generally, relocating retirees are healthier, better educated and more affluent than those who choose to not relocate, according to a news release from the magazine. They bring significant economic benefits to their new states. Nationally, two dozen states and hundreds of towns seek to attract retirees as a source of economic development. The magazine, launched in 1992 with the goal of helping its readers find the ideal place to retire, is published six times a year. The magazine covers the best retirement regions, towns and master-planned communities and has a national circulation of 200,000. The magazine is sold on various newsstands and at Barnes & Noble bookstores. For a magazine subscription or to purchase a back issue, visit WhereToRetire.com. Here is the magazine’s list of eight appealing low-cost cities: Augusta, Georgia; Bowling Green, Kentucky; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Dothan, Alabama; Georgetown, Texas; Jackson, Mississippi; Tampa, Florida; and Sumter.

THE SUMTER ITEM

Why do we like attractions that make us ‘Scream?’ BETH J. HARPAZ AP Travel Editor Margee Kerr says she has the best job in the world: She studies fear for a living, and loves to scare herself as part of her research. Kerr is a sociologist with a Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh, and just in time for Halloween, she’s written a book called “Scream: Chilling Adventures in the Science of Fear.” The book documents Kerr’s adventures around the world experiencing extreme attractions, ranging from the tallest roller coasters in Japan to the CN Tower’s EdgeWalk in Toronto, where participants are tethered to the skyscraper for an outdoor walk 116 stories off the ground.

Kerr also works at a haunted attraction in Pittsburgh called ScareHouse, analyzing customer responses to help keep the fright levels just right. “We’re trying to scare people in a way that’s going to make them feel good,” she said. Kerr is interested in the notion that society usually regards “fear as a negative force. But there’s another side to fear that’s fun and fulfilling,” and that’s the sweet spot sought by recreational activities — whether skydiving, ziplining, roller coasters or haunted houses. “When we know we’re not really in any physical danger, we can enjoy the endorphins and the dopamine. That response is similar to being really excited and

happy,” she said. Her quest for the “Scream” book took her on “many, many adventures across the world, doing as many scary and thrilling things as I could. I look at it from the cultural perspective, the physiological perspective and the psychological perspective: Why do we engage with this type of material? Part of it is the natural high we get from activating the flight-orfight response in a safe environment.” Kerr says the trick is to figure out what types of situations “trigger our flight or fight response. What are people afraid of, what’s going to tap into the fear?” For example, “we know from science that seeing the whites of people’s eyes will

activate the amygdala — the emotional processing center of our brain.” That intense response to another being’s eyes explains why scary attractions often have “dolls with big eyes or animatronics with wide-open eyes.” Startling sounds, fast-moving props and other sudden visual effects also trigger instinctive responses, upping the fear factor without putting people in real danger. She added that part of the draw for an extreme adventure or attraction is that “you are testing your own resilience. When you come out the other side of a scary movie or haunted house, you have accomplished something. You’ve tested your will. Even though we know nothing will hurt us, the self-

esteem boost is real.” As for her own responses, she found the CN Tower Edgewalk to be “way more terrifying than I thought it would be.” Skydiving, on the other hand, was pure pleasure for Kerr. Kerr says her research can have implications beyond theme parks and haunted houses by helping people understand how to tolerate stress. “We’re trying to find the best ways to teach people how to experience their emotions in ways that are healthy and not debilitating,” she said. “When people lean into the experience and test themselves in an environment that is safe, they come to learn they can handle stress and they are stronger than they thought they were.”

THE SUMTER ITEM

Call the newsroom at: (803) 774-1225 | E-mail: trevor@theitem.com

Upstate trout expedition well worth the trip

hat started out as a four-man journey to the hills turned out to be just Coffee Pot and me heading to the mountains to tackle the trout stream. A.D. and Britt needed to stay home to work on flood cleanup, which I understand, even if we did miss them. Originally, the plan was to leave Sumter around 5:30 a.m., miss the Columbia traffic, have the camp set up and be fishing before noon, but because of a curfew that limited travel before 7:00 a.m., that was impossible. I left my house at 7:00, on the dot and we were set up and fishing by about 1:45 p.m. To our great surprise, we were the only campers in the entire campground; we were it, for the entire duration of our trip. It was evident that the stocking truck from the Walhalla State Fish Hatchery had recently been there. The river was full of fish, and all of them eager to get caught. Coffee Pot was having a blast pulling in one after the other from the spot where they release the fish while I was

downstream a bit and catching all I wanted to catch, as well. O.K., so stocked fish aren’t exactly Earle native wild Woodward trout, but AFIELD & they are trout and AFLOAT since native, wild born trout are almost non-existent in South Carolina, a stocked fish is what you get. We released everything we caught with the exception of one fish that was hooked too deeply to survive. I’m estimating that we caught 20 fish on the first 45 minute outing. That hammock that I mentioned last week was slung between two trees, and after downing a Diet Coke, I found my spot squarely in the middle of that hammock and that’s where I stayed for the better part of an hour; pure relaxation, no noise, no cell phone, no cars, just me, the hammock and the river. Nope, it don’t get no better’n that.

Thursday was pretty much a carbon copy of Wednesday afternoon, except we started it with a big omelet stuffed with sausage, peppers, onions and cheese, all washed down with, yep, you guessed it, coffee, made with the loving hands of Coffee Pot. After some serious and productive fishing Friday morning and with no real plans for Friday afternoon, Coffee Pot and I decided that the best usage of our time would be to take a ride up S.C. 107 and visit the Walhalla Fish Hatchery. We arrived in the early afternoon and began to stroll among the ground tanks that hold the trout. This tank held one size and variety of trout and that one held a different size and variety. As we walked, we noticed that everywhere we went the fish followed along, kind of like the eyes of a painting on a horror movie, everywhere you go the eyes follow. They would pack together so tightly that they’d actually force each other out of the water. We began to understand very shortly thereafter.

Coming around the corner were two guys driving an oversized four wheeler with the fish food bins on the back. It was amazing; these fellows would draw a bucket of food and cast in by the scoopfuls onto the waters of the tanks and the fish would just go crazy. A shark feeding frenzy has nothing on a couple of thousand hungry rainbow trout; some of them almost made it out of the tanks jumping for the food. It was truly a show worthy of the admission -- well maybe even better because the tour was free. Coffee Pot and I made it to the tank holding the broad fish, and the excitement level really turned up a notch. These were some really goodlooking fish, mostly brown and rainbow trout in the twoto three-pound range that are used to grow new trout. At the prescribed time of the year, the eggs are stripped from the females and the milt from the males, mixed together in a large, for lack of a better term, jar and left to fertilize. From there the fish are moved from tank to tank until they reach the proper

size to put into the states rivers, about 18 months after conception and 10 inches long. Coffee Pot and I struck up a conversation with the two men feeding the fish and found them eager to share any and all information about the work they do and willingly explain anything we asked them -- a couple of really great guys, likeable and educational at the same time. They showed us all over the place and explained things in great detail. We finally reached the tank holding the “Display Fish” and as the kids today say, OMG. I’m talking brown trout, rainbow trout and brook trout in the eight- to 10pound range. They looked like submarines, totally impressive. Both Coffee Pot and I thanked our two new friends for the tour and for the work that they do for us each day. To them, well they may just be doing their jobs, but to us it meant a lot that they would share their knowledge with us and keep us stocked with trout to catch. Thanks again guys and keep up the good and important work.

Vanishing nets: Area shrimpers sail on despite rising costs BY ERIN HEFFERNAN The Island Packet SAINT HELENA ISLAND — For nearly 70 years, the Gay family has trawled for and sold local shrimp at its St. Helena Island market. But these days, they often make more money selling t-shirts and coffee mugs than seafood. “I think shrimping (in Beaufort County) will end eventually,” said Charles Gay, owner of the Gay Fish Company. “You’ll not even see the few trawlers that are left.” No one would have predicted the demise of the Lowcountry’s most iconic industry just a few decades ago. Back then, the Gay’s dock would fill up with trawlers forming a city of lights each morning before dawn. “There would be dozens of shrimp boats all lined up, all lit up getting ready to work,” Gay said. “Now if you see two or three shrimp boats together it’s really something to see.” The problem, Gay said, isn’t that there are fewer shrimp off the SC coast. And it isn’t that demand for shrimp is down. In fact, shrimp is now far and away the most popular seafood in America, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, with the average American eating more than 4 pounds of the shell fish a year. Rather, foreign shrimpers have moved in to meet the demand, flooding the market with their shrimp and driv-

DELAYNA EARLEY / THE ISLAND PACKET

William Son separates the shrimp from the by-catch on the deck of a shrimp boat near St. Helena Island. The cut-throat competition, paired with rising operating costs, has led many local shrimpers to hang up their nets. ing down prices. Most shrimp eaten in America today come from farms in Asia rather than trawlers off the coast hired by the Gays and other local families. The cut-throat competition, paired with rising operating costs, has led many local shrimpers to hang up their nets. “The shrimp business has always been hard. But there used to be good money in it,” Gay said. “Not any more.

Now people just stay in it because it’s in their blood.” Local shrimp are hard to find, even in Beaufort County restaurants Even diners in Beaufort County, eating at restaurants along waters full of wild shrimp, may rarely be served a local product. Part of the reason is a growing demand for a limited supply. There aren’t enough S.C. shrimpers

now to meet even 13 percent of the state’s estimated annual shrimp consumption, an Island Packet and Beaufort Gazette analysis of NOAA data showed. In 1984, South Carolina’s shrimp nearly met the state’s demand. In Beaufort County, one of the state’s largest shrimping areas, along with Charleston and Georgetown, local shrimpers harvested only enough shrimp to feed 175,643 average American shrimp eaters last year, the analysis showed. That is less than the county’s 175,852 full-time resident population estimated for last year, let alone the more than 2 million tourists that visit the county each year. Restaurants say this limited supply keeps them from serving local shrimp consistently. In fact, when 10 popular seafood restaurants in the county were surveyed, each said they used local seafood as much as possible but were unable to exclusively serve local shrimp. Most of the year, restaurants instead turn to seafood caught in the Gulf of Mexico or, in some cases, foreign shrimp farmed more than 8,000 miles away. “I think people out to dinner here just go off the assumption that the shrimp is local,” said Tonya HudsonDeSalve, owner of the Benny Hudson Seafood market on Hilton Head Island. “Some have trawlers out front that never move, while I know they have shrimp from Thailand in the kitchen. It might as well be Universal Studios.”

FISHING REPORTS Santee Cooper System Crappie: Good to very good. Captain Steve English reports that crappie fishing remains very strong with parties loading the boat most days. Crappie can be found around brush in 12-22 feet of water, with 16-18 feet the best range. The upper lake has been better but the lower lake is now coming on strong. Bream: Good. Captain Steve English reports that big bluegill are finally leaving shallow water and starting to show up on brushpiles in 12-14 feet of water where they will eat crickets and other baits. Recently fishing in the lower lake has been better. Lake Wateree Bass: Fair. Tournament angler Dearal Rodgers reports that with Lake Wateree water temperatures still not too far removed from their summer highs bass fishing can still be a little tough, but there are clear signs that a seasonal migration is just getting underway. A lot of shad have moved into the creeks and fish are starting to chase them, and lots of suspended fish can be found roaming around. While bass are still fairly close to the main lake they are starting to head towards the creeks. The best pattern has been fishing for them shallow around most any type of cover, including docks, rocks and grass. Topwater lures have been working pretty well and fish have also been caught on jigs and worms.

Lake Greenwood Largemouth bass: Hit and miss. Fishing around the lake can be tough one moment and productive the next. Check early in the day around docks and sea walls. As temperatures begin to drop over the next few weeks the fish should start moving into creeks. It’s worth a look halfway up creeks right now. Use a floating worm and buzzbaits. Lake Monticello Catfish: Good. Right now, catch fish in the range of 5-40 feet right now, but in the next couple of weeks deep humps with current flowing over them should be ideal spots to locate big, aggressive fish. There have been fish deep for some time, but they have not been feeding as well as the shallower fish. For now the backs of coves and humps and points have been most productive, and drifting or anchoring have both been working. Big cut gizzard shad and white perch are working for big fish, and if you want to put any size fish in the boat small cut herring is tough to beat. Lake Murray White perch: Very good. Lake World reports that the white perch bite is still on fire, with anglers catching fish anywhere from 5-40 feet of water. Fish are schooled up near the bottom, and for the shallower areas worms are working better while in deeper water

jigging spoons have been the best bet. Bream: Good. Lake World reports that smaller bluegills are hanging around shallow cover, although better bluegill have been hard to locate. However, the shellcracker bite is strong fishing worms on the bottom in 4-8 feet of water. Catfish: Fair to good. Captain Chris Simpson reports that the most productive method for catching channel catfish remains anchoring on humps and points and fan-casting dip baits, shrimp and cut herring. Target ledges that allow baits to be scattered between depths of 5-30 feet. As water temperatures drop over the next few weeks the drift bite will improve, but for now it is still inconsistent. Lake Russell Crappie: Fair to good. Go up the creeks more, same places to look for largemouth, where the water is more stained. Not quite as big of fish but the numbers of fish are shallower in 15 feet. Lake Thurmond Crappie: Fair to good. Captain William Sasser reports that with the water cooling a bit the crappie bite is improving. Not a lot of fish are being caught yet, but some really good sized crappie are biting. The best bet is fishing in the backs of tributaries abound 15 feet down with minnows over tree tops/ brush in about 25 feet of water.

Lake Wylie Bass: Slow to fair. FLW Professional and Guide Matt Arey reports that the bite is still pretty tough, but he predicts seasonal improvement as the water temperatures continue to cool in the coming weeks. While early to midSeptember is often a continuation of a later summer pattern, we are approaching a real transition period. While some fish will stay out on the main lake, shad will begin migrating to the backs of creek and the bass will follow them. Shallow fishing should remain strong until the weather cools significantly, and square-billed crankbaits, jigs, and topwater lures will all catch fish. Anglers should also be alert for schooling activity all over the lake. Lake Hartwell Bass: Fair. Guide Brad Fowler reports that this is a transition period on Lake Hartwell and bass are fairly scattered. Good numbers of smaller fish can be caught at mid-depths on shakey heads, drop shots, and flukes, but catching bigger fish is a little tough. The topwater bite is still somewhat hit-or-miss, although in the last couple of weeks it has picked up somewhat. In recent tournaments it seems as if the best catches may be coming up shallow, and on certain days crankbaits off wind-blown points have produced. Before long bait should start

migrating up the creeks. Catfish: Good. Captain Bill Plumley reports that channel catfish are scattered across the lake in 15-35 feet of water, and they will take dip baits, cut bait and night crawlers. Fish are feeding well right now. A few small blues have been caught, but most of the better fish are still out in the trees and relatively uncatchable. Flathead fishing has been pretty good, and at night anglers have been catching flatheads on live bream or perch. Lake Keowee Largemouth and Spotted Bass: Slow to fair. Fish seem to want artificials more than live bait with the lower end of the lake better than the upper. Go with topwater first part of the day. Schools in a bit deeper water, getting bigger. Try drop shotting and shakey head. There are some signs the bait has moved into the creeks. Lake Jocassee Trout: Fair. Trout fishing is still decent on Lake Jocassee with fish concentrated in deep water in the main lake. The best depth range is now 60-80 feet of water, and both spoons and live bait will still catch fish. However, live bait has been more productive. In order to beat the daytime heat it is still worth a try to night fishing around the intakes. Suspending medium shiners and nightcrawlers 30-40 feet down is catching some fish.
