They have always been entertainers, and the empty-nesters missed the joy of hosting.

Now, Tracey and Thomas Mclaughlin have re-found that joy. Each time someone arrives, they look at the strangers and say, “Welcome home.” By that time, the couple even knows what kind of dietary needs they should accommodate, what breakfast preferences their new guests have.

Guests at 1912 Bed & Breakfast, the Barnett House on Warren Street renovated to fit four bookable bed-rooms, can be anywhere they want on the spectrum of strangers to family. The Mclaughlins want visi-tors to know they’re not at a hotel but also give them as much space as they want.

“They’re welcome to come sit down in the sitting room and curl up with a book. They can walk in the gardens. We engage with them as much as they want. If they want to open up a bottle of wine and sit down and talk, that’s great, or if they just want to check in and do their thing, they won’t see us,” Tracey Mclaughlin said.

The couple moved to Sumter from Atlanta to buy, renovate and repurpose the house, which was built by B.J. Barnett, who owned a general merchandise store at 9 N. Main St. and farm land, and they’ll say

it was more of a calling that they landed in Sumter.When their daughters were growing up, they

Boy injured after tree falls through Cherryvale home

A young boy was seriously injured Friday afternoon as severe thunderstorms ripe for tornadoes ripped through Sumter County.

The 3-year-old boy was sit-ting on a couch in a Burgess Glen Mobile Home park resi-dence when a massive pine tree crashed through the roof into the room where he was, according to Adrienne Sarvis,

public information officer for the Sumter County Sheriff’s Office.

Sumter Fire Department Battalion Chief Joey Duggan said firefighters used saws to cut away the roof, which had

pinned the child down, trap-ping him inside the house on Blanche Road.

“When we were able to ac-tually extract him from the house, he was unconscious and unresponsive,” Duggan

said.The boy was rushed to Pris-

ma Health Tuomey Hospital with serious injuries. On Sat-urday he had been taken to a

The first store in Sumter to exclu-sively sell retail products made from cannabidiol, or CBD, is set to open soon.

Eugene Jacobs, owner of Your CBD Store-Florence, spoke Thursday on his planned May 4 opening of Your CBD Store-Sumter at 661 Bultman Drive near Murray's Donuts.

Some gas stations and other retail-ers in the area sell CBD oil, but Ja-cobs’ store will exclusively sell CBD products. CBD is known to help pa-tients in the treatment of anxiety, ar-thritis and other various forms of in-flammation and long-term pain. It’s a natural supplement and can be used as an alternative to prescription drugs

and opioids, but it has only been le-galized for sale in the U.S. in re-cent years.

“CBD is natural, it’s non-habit forming, and it’s a non-psychoac-tive,” Jacobs said. “So, it doesn’t alter your state of

mind. We produce CBD in our bodies, and this just enhances that system and provides you more natural heal-ing.”

CBD has become a hot topic in South Carolina because it comes from the hemp plant, and only in the last two years has the state permitted hemp growers. Historically, hemp was designated as a banned crop by the federal government because the plant is from the same species as marijuana. However, it has a significantly lower concentration of the chemical tetrahy-drocannabinol (THC). That's the pri-mary chemical responsible for mari-juana's psychological effects, creating a euphoric high.

By federal law, hemp must have less than 0.03% concentration of THC com-

pared to marijuana's 30%, and there is bipartisan support to legalize hemp to increase crop diversity and provide new agriculture for U.S. farmers.

The Your CBD Store franchise has 250 stores open or about to open in the U.S., Jacobs said. The franchise exclu-sively sells SunMed brand products.

The hemp plant used in the extrac-tion process is grown in Colorado by a third party. That state has allowed hemp production for about 20 years, Jacobs said. The medicinal CBD bene-fits are extracted from the hemp and bottled at the company’s main plant in Florida. Then, the products are dis-tributed to consumers through Your CBD Stores, according to Jacobs.

The stores’ products are also THC-free, he said.

“A lot of people think CBD gets you

high,” Jacobs said. “Our CBD has no THC in it — the tetrahydrocannabinol has been extracted. So, customers can take it without failing a drug test.”

Legally, companies can sell CBD with the 0.03% concentration of THC. Customers who take it don’t feel any psychoactive effects from it, but they could test positive on a random drug test, according to Jacobs.

“A lot of people are scared to use it because of that 0.03%,” he said. “So, we cater to those people who obviously can take it without worrying about fail-ing a drug test.”

The new store on Bultman will have CBD in numerous products — from chewing gum, lip balm and candies to chocolate and pain creams, among oth-ers — with two retail employees.

“Someone will be in the store who’s

knowledgeable about CBD and can lis-ten to customers’ ailments,” Jacobs said, “and basically guide them the way they need to be guided to get the problem solved.”

Products will also be available for use with pets.

In the Florence community, Jacobs said he’s gained a lot of support for his CBD products from the medical com-munity, especially chiropractors and pain-management specialists.

Store employees are not doctors, and products are not regulated by the FDA.

“Every time we sell our product, it has a stamped statement that says it’s not been evaluated by the FDA,” Ja-cobs said. “Just like a supplement you may buy at a vitamin store, our CBD products fall under a natural healing category.”

WALTERBORO (AP) — A South Carolina prosecutor said Friday that the death of a fifth-grader at school last month was because of rup-turing blood vessels caused by a birth defect and not a fight with another student.

Solicitor Duffie Stone said at a news conference that 10-year-old Raniya Wright died of a congenital condi-tion called an arteriovenous malformation, a tangle of abnormal blood vessels in the brain. The child had re-peatedly complained of headaches in the days and weeks before her death.

Stone said that pathologi-

cal and other scientific re-ports showed no evidence of trauma to the body that would have indicated the child died of injuries sus-tained in a fight on March 25. Raniya died two days later.

"In this case, the science is clear," Stone said.

No criminal charges will be filed, he said. The child's family has maintained that another fifth-grade girl at Forest Hills Elementary School in Walterboro had hit or pushed the girl.

Ashley Wright told report-ers that she wasn't aware of any birth defects or condi-

tions that led to the rupture until after Raniya was hospi-talized.

"My daughter was in good spirits that morning. She didn't complain of a head-ache," Wright said.

An attorney for Wright said that a private investiga-tor hired by the family inter-viewed one student who said Raniya was attacked from behind, punched several times in the head and pushed into a file cabinet and a bookshelf.

"This is not where the story ends. This is merely the beginning," attorney Margie Pizarro said.

Would you like to increase your athletic ability? Im-prove your balance, speed and overall fitness?

Join Prisma Health Tuom-ey Hospital’s athletic train-ers for a six-week summer camp and learn how you can take your per-formance to the next level.

This camp is for any student athlete in mid-dle or high school — re-gardless of age, sport or perfor-mance level.

Campers will receive one-on-one time with a master certified athletic trainer and three assistant trainers during four sessions per

week. Camp sessions are limited to 12 students per trainer, which offers each athlete more time with a teacher.

The trainers will concen-trate on foot work, balance, core, speed, vertical jumps and overall fitness. Students

will learn exer-cises they can continue to do on their own after camp is over. Instruc-tion will also include body weight exercis-es — especially good for young-er students be-cause of the risks of intro-

ducing heavy weights too early — performance en-hancement training and ACL tear prevention.

Better. Faster. Stronger. will run from June 10–July

25 at USC Sumter in the gym and on the soccer fields. Campers can choose between two 1.5-hour ses-sions each day, Monday through Thursday: from 7:30–9 a.m. or 9:30–11 a.m.

Students are expected to attend at least three out of the four sessions each week in order to have an opti-

mum experience. “One of the biggest rea-

sons for attending these ses-sions is for young athletes to learn how to prevent in-juries,” said T.C. White, an athletic trainer at Prisma Health Tuomey Hospital Re-habilitative Services. “It’s based on SportsMetrics, an ACL injury-prevention pro-

gram created by a knee spe-cialist.” White, who has been an athletic trainer for 20 years, is the only master certified SportsMetrics trainer in the Midlands re-gion.

The Sports Medicine team includes physicians, physi-cian assistants, physical therapists, occupational therapists and athletic trainers. Ty Collier, manag-er of Rehab Services, said that during the past year, Prisma Health Tuomey Hos-pital has focused on expand-ing community-based ser-vices, including the Athletic Trainer Program.

“Our Sports Medicine team serves as the official medical team for the Uni-versity of South Carolina–Sumter, Thomas Sumter Academy and Wilson Hall as well as 34 high schools and seven colleges outside of the Sumter region,” Col-lier said. “Our goal is to cre-ate a culture of safety with all student athletes and pro-vide the best available medi-cal services. Wellness, per-formance enhancement and injury prevention are a big part of our care plan, and this is the focus of the Bet-ter. Faster. Stronger. camp.”

School board’s Finance Committee will review emergency declarationBY BRUCE [email protected]

Sumter School District Board of Trustees’ advisory Finance Committee will hold its monthly meeting for April on Tuesday morning.

A district spokeswoman no-tified the media on Thursday.

The committee will review the district’s financial reports from March and also state Su-perintendent of Education Molly Spearman’s fiscal emer-gency declaration in the dis-trict. The emergency declara-tion was upheld by the state Board of Education on April 9 in Columbia, and now the dis-trict is waiting on financial recommendations from the state Department of Educa-tion’s finance department.

The committee meeting will begin at 9:30 a.m. at the dis-trict office, 1345 Wilson Hall Road. Like all board-related meetings, the committee meet-ing is open to the public.

Prisma doctors urge parents to take action against diseaseBY PRISMA HEALTH

Most parents would do any-thing in their power to protect their children from harm.

“The reason more than a dozen devastating diseases have faded from our collective mem-ory is that vaccines have been so effective in eradicating these diseases,” said Dr. Caughman Taylor, senior medical director of Prisma Health Children’s Hospital–Midlands. “When has anyone gotten smallpox?”

Taylor and other medical ex-perts are extremely concerned that recent outbreaks of pre-ventable and once deadly dis-eases are occurring in children because of parents being misin-formed by social media, non-sci-entific sources and celebrities who oppose vaccines.

“Over the past five years, the number of South Carolina stu-dents who were listed as reli-giously exempt from vaccina-tion has doubled,” said pediatric infectious diseases physician Dr. Anna-Kathryn Burch.

“As a society, we have almost forgotten diseases that once caused significant illness, life-long residual disability and death in tens of thousands of children each year,” Taylor said. “Our state and country risk the return of these diseases that could cause great harm to children and significant an-guish and costs to families. We strongly urge that all children receive the safe vaccines that exist today. Vaccines do not cause autism or any other long-term illness.”

The almost forgotten diseases include:

• Diphtheria (can cause heart failure, paralysis, difficulty breathing, death);

• Chicken Pox (potentially life-threatening in babies and chil-dren with weakened immune systems);

• Mumps (can cause inflam-mation of the reproductive or-gans and brain);

• Pneumococcal disease (can cause illnesses including ear in-fections, pneumonia, meningi-tis);

• Pertussis (can cause violent coughing and stop babies from breathing);

• Measles (causes a rash and can lead to pneumonia and other serious complications);

• Hemophilus (can cause deaf-ness, meningitis or even death);

• Rubella (dangerous for preg-nant women and can cause seri-ous birth defects, miscarriage, death of infants at birth);

• Tetanus (painful muscle stiffness and can cause death);

• Polio (cripples those it af-fects and can cause death); and

• HPV (can cause cancer later in life).

“Vaccines are safe, and vac-cines protect us all,” Burch said. “As pediatricians, we rec-ognize that vaccines are mod-ern-day miracles. We urge all parents to have a discussion with their child’s medical pro-vider about the importance and safety of vaccines and whether their child is up to date on all vaccines.”

‘I’m Amazed’ to be performed today at Sumter churchMembers of Bethesda Church of God, 2730 Broad St., practice their roles on Thursday evening for the “I’m Amazed” Easter service, which will begin today at 10:45 a.m. On Friday, the church held a Living Lord’s Supper Communion experi-ence for guests where they were able to sit by Jesus and His disciples while taking communion.

PANORAMA

LSTERHEIDE, Germany

(AP) — A small Slavic

minority in eastern Ger-

many is keeping alive a

long, intricate tradition

of hand-painted Easter eggs that’s

been passed down by Sorbian fami-

lies for generations.

At an Easter egg market in Elster-heide near the Saxon town of Hoyer-swerda, around two dozen egg paint-ers showed off their trade last Sun-day.

Werner Zaroba said he learned the craft from his grandparents, remem-bering how as a child on Good Fri-day, “we would paint the eggs to give them to our godparents as an Easter present.”

Decades later, the elderly man sticks to the tradition. He dips the eggs into a color bath, then using fine knives he scratches delicate pat-terns on the surface of the eggshell.

Zaroba says it takes him up to seven hours to decorate one egg alone.

Columbine focuses on healing as questions loom after manhunt

LITTLETON, Colo. — A Colorado community changed forever by the attack that killed 13 people at Columbine High School moved ahead Thursday with ceremonies marking the anniversary of the tragedy while awaiting more details on what led a Florida teen “infatuated” with the shooting to buy a shotgun and kill herself in the snowy foothills nearby.

Many questions remained unanswered about 18-year-old Sol Pais, but a friend disputed the contention by authorities that she posed a threat.

Adrianna Pete painted a complex picture of Pais, say-ing she was deeply troubled, lonely and often talked about suicide but was also brilliant, kind and a talented artist who loved to draw.

Pete, 19, a college student in Carleton, Michigan, said she met Pais online two years ago through a mutual friend and quickly developed a friend-ship involving near-daily com-munication. They met in per-son twice, once when Pete traveled to Florida and once when Pais went to Michigan.

Pete faulted authorities for overreacting in portraying Pais as a threat based on her activities before her death.

“She never threatened any-one,” Pete said. “There are no credible threats and only as-sumptions that she was just

because the word Columbine was included.”

Pete said Pais had a weird obsession with the Columbine killers but that didn’t mean she was planning an attack. The killers were “someone she could relate to” because they were lonely, not because of their violence, Pete said.

“She would say I hate life, life sucks and that she was very alone,” Pete said. “Then she told me she had it figured out with her parents before so I assumed like she was doing OK ... She actually posted about it a lot, wanting to die.”

Two teenagers attacked Col-umbine on April 20, 1999, kill-ing 12 classmates and a teach-er before taking their own

lives. They have inspired cult-like admirers, some of whom committed other mass shoot-ings.

The days surrounding the April 20 anniversary of the at-tack are always emotional for school alumni, their families and the suburban community of Littleton surrounding Col-umbine. Some survivors de-scribe the experience as an “April fog.”

The manhunt for Pais and the resulting closure of schools added a new layer of anxiety, former Columbine principal Frank DeAngelis said Wednesday after the FBI declared the danger was over.

A religious service Thurs-day night will begin three days of commemorative

events themed “Remember. Reflect. Recommit” leading to a day of community service projects and a ceremony Sat-urday at a park near the school.

Pais’ body was discovered Wednesday in the mountains outside Denver with what ap-peared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Colorado authorities learned about Pais on Tues-day from an alarmed Miami FBI office that had inter-viewed people about her ob-session with the Columbine shooting.

Dozens of schools, including Columbine, locked their doors for several hours on Tuesday, and even more closed altogeth-er on Wednesday.

More than 400,000 students returned to Denver-area schools Thursday, with visible police presence outside build-ings.

FBI officials declined Wednesday to discuss Pais’ mental health or detail the comments she made indicat-ing an “infatuation” with the Columbine shooting. An FBI spokeswoman did not immedi-ately respond to a request Thursday for more informa-tion on Pais’ background or her Columbine-related com-ments that sparked a rapid law enforcement response.

Officials at her Florida school district said they had no record of Pais being con-tacted by law enforcement or disciplined in school.

Her family has not spoken

publicly but worked with au-thorities this week.

Pete described Pais as car-ing and thoughtful, someone who helped with her Spanish homework and sent her a pair of earrings when she was having boyfriend troubles.

When they got together in Miami last summer, they went swimming at the beach, walked the boardwalk and played with stray cats. Almost daily, Pais walked to a store and bought a coffee energy drink. She was obsessed with them, Pete said.

“I believe she was just very mentally ill and had no one but me to confide in and a few people on the internet,” Pete said.

FBI officials said Wednes-day they were reviewing all of Pais’ activity in recent weeks, including her social media ac-counts and other online writ-ing. They confirmed that on-line material includes a blog featuring hand-written jour-nal entries about the author’s unhappiness and desire to die along with sketches of guns or knives.

Pais did not make threats against a specific school, but her history and purchase of a weapon immediately after arriving in Colorado merited a broad response, officials said.

Pais arrived Monday and went directly to a gun store, where she bought a shotgun, authorities said. The purchase apparently followed the legal process, officials said.

Central Florida cities among fastest growing in U.S.ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — When it

came to population growth last year, cit-ies in central Florida grew by stadiums.

Metro Orlando grew by 60,000 resi-dents last year, almost as large as the number of people who can fit into the city’s Camping World Stadium, where college football bowl teams face off each winter.

The Tampa area grew last year by

51,000 residents, more than the number of fans who can fit into Tropicana Field, where the city’s Tampa Bay Rays play baseball.

Growth from mid-2017 to mid-2018 propelled these two metropolises into the top tier of the nation’s fastest-grow-ing metro areas, according to figures re-leased Thursday by the U.S. Census Bu-reau.

Only Texas grew by more people than Florida last year, and the addition of tens of thousands of new residents to central Florida cities will increase the importance next election of the Inter-state 4 corridor, already the swingiest part of the nation’s biggest swing state. That explosive growth also helps Flori-da’s chances of getting additional con-gressional seats — and presidential

electors — after the 2020 census.Orlando had the nation’s fifth-largest

increase for metro areas in pure num-bers, surpassed by only Dallas, Phoenix, Houston and Atlanta. Tampa came in at No. 9. In Tampa, the growth was com-pletely driven by new arrivals. Without that inbound migration, Tampa would have lost population — deaths outnum-bered births by almost 900 people.

Parents who tortured children get life after hearing from victims

LOS ANGELES — A Cali-fornia couple who inflicted years of torture and abuse on 12 of their 13 children and were only discovered when one of their daughters fled their home and pleaded for help to a 911 operator were sentenced to life in prison Fri-day, with parole possible after 25 years.

The sentencing of David and Louise Turpin was pre-ceded by the first public state-ments from some of the chil-dren, who alternately spoke of love for their parents, and of what they had suffered de-spite it, as the couple wiped away tears.

The Turpins pleaded guilty in February to neglect and abuse.

“I’m sorry for everything I’ve done to hurt my children. I love my children so much,” Louise Turpin said.

None of the children were publicly identified.

One of the adult children walked into court already in tears just after the hearing began, holding hands with a prosecutor.

A daughter said, “Life may have been bad, but it made me strong. I fought to become the person that I am. I saw my dad change my mom. They al-most changed me, but I real-ized what was happening. ... I’m a fighter, I’m strong, and I’m shooting through life like a rocket.”

Some of the others said they still love their parents. One asked for a lighter sen-

tence because “they believed everything they did was to protect us.”

The horrors within the home were concealed behind a veneer of suburban normal-cy in a middle-class section of Perris, a small city about 60 miles southeast of Los Ange-les.

The residence was neatly kept, and neighbors rarely saw the kids outside, but noth-ing triggered suspicion.

David Turpin, 57, had been an engineer for Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grum-man. Louise Turpin, 50, was listed as a housewife in a 2011 bankruptcy filing.

But the children’s desperate plight became public after a teenage daughter escaped from the filthy home by jump-ing from a window, then used a cellphone to contact a police dispatcher and begin describ-ing years of horrific abuse.

When deputies arrived, they were shocked by what they discovered. A 22-year-old son was chained to a bed, and two girls had just been set free from their shackles. The house was covered in filth, and the stench of human waste was overwhelming.

Children said they were beaten, caged and shackled to beds if they didn’t obey their parents.

Judge Bernard Schwartz said the children were not al-lowed to be filmed or photo-graphed. Most of the 13 chil-dren — who ranged in age from 2 to 29 — were severely underweight and hadn’t bathed for months.

The desperate cry for help

from the 17-year-old came after a lifetime of living in such isolation, the girl didn’t know her address, the month of the year or what the word “medication” meant.

But she knew enough to punch the digits 9-1-1 into a barely workable cellphone and then began describing years of horrific abuse to a police dispatcher.

Deputies testified that the children said they were only allowed to shower once a year. They were mainly kept in their rooms except for meals, which had been reduced from three to one per day, a combi-nation of lunch and dinner. The 17-year-old complained that she could no longer stom-ach peanut butter sandwiches — they made her gag.

The children weren’t al-lowed to play like normal chil-dren. Other than an occasion-al family trip to Las Vegas or Disneyland, which one of the daughters mentioned at Fri-day’s hearing, they rarely left the home. They slept during the day and were active a few hours at night.

Although the couple filed paperwork with the state to homeschool their children, learning was limited. The old-est daughter only completed third grade.

“We don’t really do school. I haven’t finished first grade,” the 17-year-old said, according to Deputy Manuel Campos.

The children said they were beaten, caged and shackled to beds if they didn’t obey their parents. Investigators found that the toddler had not been abused, but all of the children were hospitalized after they were discovered.

‘Life may have been bad, but it made me strong. I fought to become the person that I am. I saw my dad change my mom. They almost changed me, but I realized what was happening. ... I’m a fighter, I’m strong, and I’m shooting through life like a rocket.’ONE OF THE TURPINS’ DAUGHTERS WHO SPOKE IN COURT

BOSTON (AP) — A Massa-chusetts man who sent threat-ening letters filled with white powder to President Donald Trump’s sons, Antonio Sabato Jr., Sen. Debbie Stabenow and a law professor was sentenced Friday in federal court to five years of probation.

The judge declined to send Daniel Frisiello to prison, as prosecutors had sought, be-cause of concerns the 25-year-old man from Beverly, who is

developmentally disabled, would not respond well to in-carceration. But he stressed the sentence wasn’t “lenient.”

“Do not underestimate how serious I am treating your crimes,” Judge Nathaniel Gor-ton said to Frisiello as the doz-ens of his family members, friends and supporters who had packed the court proceed-ing hugged, cried and sighed in relief. Frisiello was also or-dered to serve his first year of probation in home confine-ment and has been banned for the full five years from access-ing the internet or sending mail without prior approval.

Columbia area hospital and was listed in stable but criti-cal condition.

Duggan said there were adults home at the time of the storm and when the tree came through the roof, but first re-sponders did not get a chance to talk to them or figure out their relation to the boy be-

cause they followed the ambu-lance to the hospital.

The incident happened about 2:45 p.m. as parts of Sumter were under a tornado warning, especially in the western, Cherryvale area of the county. Dispatchers and first responders were busy during the storm attending to the Blanche Road accident while getting calls about other trees and power lines down throughout Sumter.

Clarendon County also re-ceived calls about downed trees and power lines.

The line of storms killed an 8-year-old girl in Florida be-fore threatening the Carolinas and Virginia. A tree fell onto a

house in Woodville, Florida, south of Tallahassee, killing the girl and injuring a 12-year-old boy, according to The As-sociated Press.

The same storm system was blamed for the deaths a day

earlier of a woman in Ala-bama and three people in Mis-sissippi, including two drivers and a man who died after a tree trunk rolled onto him while he was helping cut a tree that fell on a house.

STORMFROM PAGE A1

always had people coming in and out. Pool parties, hol-iday parties, get-togethers with their adults friends, sleepovers for their children’s friends.

“We realized that we really, really enjoyed it. And we missed it,” Thomas Mclaughlin said.

When they saw something about a bed and break-fast on TV, their light bulbs turned on.

“We were both in real estate, so we could move wherever. We knew we wanted something historic like this. We looked all over in New York, Vermont, Arizo-na, everywhere, and we knew we weren’t going to compromise,” Thomas Mclaughlin said.

When they made the appointment to come see the Barnett House, they decided to visit for the weekend and went to look at the property the day before the ap-pointment.

“The back door was unlocked. So, I immediately thought what if the house let us in?” he said. “And probably not even two minutes from coming in the house, we both looked at each other and said, ‘We found it.’”

Renovations were not easy, but everything worked out. They had to re-do all the electric wiring, circuit boards and plumbing. They pained downstairs. They added clear coats to the woodwork. Upstairs, they did work to the bathrooms, demolished part of one bath-room wall and enclosed the sun porch to make the fourth bedroom.

When it came to decorating, they had no master plan. But it worked out. Picking pieces one by one, room by room, little by little.

“I think we’d both say we like the Spring Room the best, which is weird because I’m not usually a big fan of wallpaper,” Thomas Mclaughlin said, referencing the pink and green 1950s patterns. “But, it feels pleas-

ant. Whenever we’re both in that room, we both just feel very happy … She’ll probably say the same thing, but I don’t know.”

She did.“My favorite is the Mo-

roccan Room because ev-erything in there I de-signed and decorated … but my secret favorite room is the Spring Room,” Tracey Mclaugh-lin said unbeknownst to

her husband and unaware of what he said.Rooms are $99 for the master room with a king size

bed, full sitting area with TV and bathroom, $90-$95 for the two rooms each with queen beds and private bathrooms and $75 for the room with a king bed and

private bathroom that is down the hall.Their occupancy rate has been promising. They

bought it in September 2017 and opened in July 2018. They were 95% booked over the Christmas holiday, largely with people visiting family and friends at Shaw Air Force Base. November and March were great, too, she said.

“We are booked almost solid all the time,” she said.Tracey Mclaughlin calls guests a couple days before

their arrival to find out if they have any dietary re-strictions. Then comes the above-and-beyond. You don’t just have to be allergic to something. She’ll ac-commodate keto and gluten diets, preferences in fresh fruit and yogurt flavors.

“We get up and make fresh biscuits every morning, fresh grits with cheese. Or course, eggs and some type of meat,” she said. “And, I’ll either do pancakes or waffles. Or, I’ve got a great French toast recipe.”

When she’s not in the mood for a big morning in the kitchen, fresh cinnamon rolls. There’s always fruit and yogurt, cereal, coffee.

“If you leave my house hungry, there is something wrong,” she said. “What’s the point of having a big, nice house if you can’t share it with people?”

They’re sharing their home, and people keep com-ing back, they said. They’re ready to help you pass through on your way to wherever, or they’re ready to welcome you home. They’re entertaining again.

DID YOU KNOW?The 1912 Bed & Breakfast was not built in 1912, like the Mclaughlins were originally told. B.J. Barnett built his family home in 1880 where the now-closed Rite Aide is on North Washington Street. in 1912, the house was moved to the Warren Court location where it sits now.

Trump is right to call out Democrats for hypocrisyWASHINGTON — It is mys-

tifying why Democrats are so up in arms about Presi-dent Trump’s declaration

that he is considering releasing illegal immigrants into so-called “sanctuary cities.” After all, Trump’s plan simply follows the Democrats’ own policy pre-scriptions for dealing with illegal im-migrants.

First, Democrats support releasing illegal immigrants into U.S. communi-ties. Just a few months ago, during the negotiations to end the government shutdown, Democrats sought to limit the number of Immigra-tion and Customs En-forcement detention “beds available for in-

terior enforcement” to about 16,500 per day and to reduce the overall num-ber of available beds to less than 36,000. In January, ICE was holding 48,088 illegal immigrants.

When Homeland Security officials warned this could force the release of thousands of illegal immigrants, Dem-ocrats openly declared it was their goal to do precisely that. Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard, D-Calif., who chairs the House Appropriations subcommittee on homeland security, said the goal of capping the beds was to “force the Trump administration to prioritize de-

portation for criminals and people who pose real security threats, not law-abiding immigrants.”

Many other leading Democrats — including presidential candidates Sens. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., — have gone further, proposing to abolish ICE altogether. In 2013, when she was House minority leader, Rep. Nancy Pe-losi, D-Calif., — now the House speak-er — called for an end to deportations for illegal immigrants who have not committed felonies, declaring “Our view of the law is that … if somebody is here without sufficient documenta-tion, that is not reason for deporta-tion.” Some Democrats, including Cal-ifornia Attorney General Xavier Becerra and presidential candidate and former San Antonio mayor Julián Castro, have gone so far as to propose decriminalizing illegal border cross-ings entirely. “The truth is, immi-grants seeking refuge in our country ... shouldn’t be a criminal-justice issue,” Castro said.

So, Democrats have been pretty clear — they want illegal immigrants released and allowed to live in the United States.

Where should they live? Well, it was Democrats who created “sanctuary cities” as sanctuaries for illegal immi-grants. If they want illegal immi-grants released, why would they op-pose having President Trump release them into the very sanctuaries they

created for that express purpose?If anything, the Democratic leaders

of those sanctuary cities are working overtime to turn them into magnets for illegal immigrants.

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom vowed in his 2019 inaugural address to make the entire state of California a “sanctuary to all who seek it,” and on his first day in office, he proposed making illegal immi-grants eligible for Medi-Cal, the state’s version of Medicaid, until age 26. Some sanctuary cities are even allow-ing illegal immigrants to vote in local elections. In 2016, San Francisco passed Proposition N, which allows il-legal immigrants to vote in school board elections. And in 2017, College Park, Maryland, became the largest U.S. city to allow illegal immigrants to vote in municipal elections.

Sorry, Democrats, you don’t get to have it both ways. You can’t on one hand try to force Trump to release il-legal immigrants, create sanctuaries for them and arrange local laws to en-courage illegal immigrants to come to those sanctuaries and then simultane-ously be outraged that Trump wants to do exactly what you have said should be done with those who cross our borders illegally.

Whether Trump can legally follow through on his proposal to send ille-gal immigrants to sanctuary cities is in question. But there is nothing mor-ally wrong with what he has pro-

posed. There is certainly no harm being done to the illegal immigrants. Far from it, they would be sent to welcoming communities where they would receive free health care, pro-tection from deportation and possibly even the right to vote. And then the Americans who voted to turn their cities into magnets for illegal immi-grants could bear the costs of sup-porting them.

If anything, it is conservatives who should be up in arms over the idea of releasing illegal immigrants into sanc-tuary cities. Once they are in sanctu-ary cities, then it will be harder to find and deport the ones committing vio-lent crimes. Just ask the family of Kate Steinle.

Trump’s plan likely won’t ever come to fruition, but the president is effec-tively calling out Democrats for their hypocrisy. There was a time when many Democrats believed, as Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said in a 2009 speech, that “Illegal immigration is wrong, plain and simple.” No longer. If Democrats won’t help the president secure the border, then there’s noth-ing outrageous about making them live with the consequences of the poli-cies they advocate.

Stopping the campusfication of American lifeMany people, years

after they gradu-ate from high school and college,

have nightmares about taking exams for a course for which they have done none of the reading and are totally unpre-pared. They wake up full of anxiety and relax only when they realize they left school years ago.

But increasingly, it seems like none of us ever get out of school, as the rules and restric-tions that have prolifer-ated on col-lege and uni-versity cam-puses over the last two or three de-

cades ooze out and spread to the wider society. We find our-selves dealing, exams aside, with the campusfication of American life.

For those of us whose expe-rience goes back far enough, this once seemed quite desir-able. Campuses in the 1950s and 1960s were the most open and tolerant parts of Ameri-can society. Just about any ideas could be advanced and

defended. Racial and ethnic discrimination was frowned upon and dismantled. Un-equal treatment of women largely disappeared in the 1970s.

But that was then, and this is now. Coat-and-tie dress codes are long gone, but cam-puses have become the least free and the most restrictive zones of American life — and the most monopartisan. Con-servatives, a minority in fac-ulties half a century ago, are largely nonexistent in facul-ties now, and liberals fond of tolerance have been replaced by “progressives” determined to propagate their ideas and suppress others.

A majority of colleges and universities, according to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, has en-acted speech codes, restric-tions that seem to metastasize in the night. The idea has been implanted that speech that is found offensive by any-one, especially anyone who claims victim-group status, amounts to violence — an idea contradicted by both logic and experience. Offend-ers are punished by an ever-metastasizing corps of admin-istrators, who now nationally outnumber college and uni-

versity teachers.I used to imagine that the ef-

fects of restrictive campuses would wear off when gradu-ates encountered the real world. Instead, the post-campus world has come to embrace the idea suppression of the cam-puses. FIRE’s success in over-turning campus speech codes has been outmatched by the mudslide of restrictions pro-moted by corporate HR depart-ments, as their Nurse Ratcheds eagerly pursue violators, and even more by the giant media companies through which so much of the communication of ideas passes. Even though Con-gress shielded Google, Face-book and Twitter from legal consequences for the ideas they transmit, they are actively in the business of idea suppres-sion.

Anyone who regularly visits blogs like instapundit.com — I’m not talking about alt-right stuff here — often encounters news that some conservative writer has been blocked, some conservative blog’s content has been rendered inaccessi-ble, some conservative web-site has been downgraded in search ratings.

Sometimes this may happen by mistake, as social media firm executives claim. But it’s

obvious that very often it is the result of actions and deci-sions by recent graduates of left-dominated campuses de-termined to prevent the com-munication of ideas they con-sider politically incorrect. Why should free speech be valued by these youngsters? It wasn’t at school.

The social media firms may reply that they need smart people and thus hire high-test-score people from selective col-leges and universities. But their employees are not the only smart people in America, and there is no law that re-quires all social media firms to have all their facilities in the San Francisco Bay area, the most monopartisan metro area in the United States.

The fact is that Mark Zuck-erberg, Sergey Brin, Larry Page and whoever is running Twitter these days have al-lowed their firms to become the unelected censors of America and much of the world. The increasing criti-cism and hostility they’ve en-countered should not surprise them given we live in a nation where most people still believe in free speech, even if many who run campuses don’t.

Speech bans are not the only bad idea that has spread

from campuses to poison the larger society. College and university admissions depart-ments’ surreptitious use of racial quotas and preferences has been matched by corpo-rate HR departments. The campus kangaroo courts en-couraged by the Obama Edu-cation Department’s “guid-ance” have their equivalents in post-campus life.

Currently, Harvard’s al-leged anti-Asian quotas are being challenged in court. Ed-ucation Secretary Betsy DeVos has ditched the Obama “guidance” and, after thor-ough investigation, advanced regulations to protect the in-terests of both accusers and those accused.

Those are encouraging signs that the host society can fight back against the infections fes-tering in its campus wing. It needs to fight back against the campusfication suppression of free speech as well.

Thomas Edison established his first LABORA-TORY (23 Across) at

Menlo Park, New Jersey, in 1876, moving to West Or-ange 11 years later. The name of crafts website ETSY (60 Across) was deliber-ately created as a “new” word, inspired by a similar-sounding French phrase that means “And if.” As King William III, Dutch-born William of Or-ange (36 Down), grand-son of Charles I, ruled Eng-land jointly with Queen Mary II, daugh-ter of James II, from 1689 to 1694.

Manning tennis standout Gamble picks USC Sumter

MANNING — Sometimes it just runs in the family.

Manning High School tennis stand-out Shanyia Gamble, the daughter of former Manning High baseball stand-out Freddie Gamble, signed to play ten-nis with the University of South Caro-lina Sumter last week at the school.

“It means a lot to take my talent to another level,” Shanyia said. “My

coach (Lori Johnson) is proud. She trained me hard and formed me into the player I am today.”

Johnson is impressed with how far Shanyia has come.

“She came to me as a seventh-grader and didn’t know a thing

about tennis,” Coach Johnson said. “She’s developed her skill level tre-mendously. She’s a good young lady with moral values. It’s been exciting to watch her progress from nothing to where she is now. It’s a great day for Manning High tennis.”

Was there any pressure on having a father who was also a successful ath-lete at the school?

“There was some pressure coming from an athletic background,” said Freddie Gamble, who also played foot-ball at Manning. “At first I thought it was not gonna work, then the light bulb came on and each year I saw im-provement. She went from hitting the ball one way to having a forehand, backhand and a decent serve.”

Shanyia thinks there was more than just some pressure being the daughter of an athlete.

“There was a lot of pressure,” she said. “He was an excellent athlete.”

Just like her father who played two sports at Manning, Shanyia plays soft-ball along with tennis.

Her father is proud of what she’s done in the classroom along with what she’s done on the tennis court.

“She’s somewhere around 10 in her class,” he said. “She’s not only a tennis player, but a good student. The plan is to

World No. 1 Dustin Johnson leads Heritage

THE ASSOCIATED PRESSDustin Johnson owns a 1-shot lead over three other golfers after three rounds of the RBC Heritage on Saturday at Hilton Head Island.

HILTON HEAD ISLAND — Dustin Johnson, known for length off the tee, showed off his precise ball-posi-tioning and hot putter Saturday to take the RBC Heritage lead.

Johnson shot a 3-under 68 for a one-shot lead over Shane Lowry, Ian Poulter and Rory Sabbatini.

The top-ranked Johnson, a South Carolina native who had not played his home state’s only PGA Tour stop for nine years before returning in

2018, seems to have found a home on Harbour Town Golf Links’ narrow fairways and smallish greens. He had his sixth round in the 60s over the last two years to reach 10 under.

“I’m really enjoying playing in it,” Johnson said. “I really enjoyed play-ing in it last year after being away for so long. It’s something I look for-ward to now. We have a really big fan base here and growing up in South Carolina definitely helps.”

Lowry led the first 48 holes before making three bogeys on his final six holes in a 71. Poulter shot a 67, and

Sabbatini had a 68.Patrick Cantlay kept up his stellar

weekend play and was two shots be-hind. Cantlay shot 64-68 last week at the Masters and had a 66 to lead a group of six at 8 under.

Johnson, who’s won 20 PGA Tour titles, showed off other parts of his game that sometimes get overlooked by his massive drives. He saved par out of the pine straw after a bad drive to the right and into the trees on the 12th hole, then made birdie

Panthers could turn to offensive, defensive lines

CHARLOTTE — After focusing on upgrading the team's overall speed the past few NFL drafts, don't be sur-prised if the Carolina Panthers look to add bulk up front this year.

The Panthers have needs at left tackle and defensive end following the retire-ment of Julius Peppers and the release of Matt Kalil. Carolina struggled to pro-tect quarterback Cam Newton last sea-son while the pass rush fell off — two major reasons Carolina finished 7-9.

Panthers general manager Marty Hurney predictably didn't offer many clues to the team's upcoming draft plans, but said he likes what he sees from both positions in this year's class.

"It's a strong group up top and it's a deep group," Hurney said of the defen-sive linemen available.

Shanyia’s mother, Angelia Johnson, is also very proud of her daughter.

“It means a lot and inspires me and her that hard work pays off,” her mother said. “Shanyia grew in person-ality and spirit (while at Manning

USC Sumter head coach Alex Poda is excited for what Shanyia brings to the table.

“I like her competitiveness and ath-leticism,” he said. “The sky’s the limit. She has natural talent and we’ll see how far she can go.”

Shanyia is just as excited as to work with Poda as Poda is to work with her.

“I liked how the coach talked about strategies,” she said. “He’s personal and knows the game of tennis.”

Shanyia thinks she learned a lot at Manning High that can help her ad-just to the college game.

“I learned you don’t always just have one chance,” she said. “(I also learned) not to be so hard on yourself, but be hard (enough) on yourself to get better. Keep trying; there’s always room for improvement.”

on the par-5 15th after putting his tee shot in the woods. He hit just five of 14 fairways, yet had only 25 putts.

“The course played tough. It was very challenging,” he said. “It was tough getting balls close to the hole.”

So Johnson just made a bunch of long putts. He had a 20-footer for birdie on the sixth hole and a 19-footer for birdie on the 13th. The highlight came at No. 14 when Johnson dropped a 47-foot bomb that caught the lip of the cup and rolled almost all the way around before drop-ping.

Was there some secret to Johnson’s play?“No,” he said, “they just went in.”If he can keep it up Sunday, Johnson will

become just the second South Carolina born player to win the RBC Heritage, joining friend and one-time Dutch Fork High golf teammate Wesley Bryan, who became the first to do it two years ago.

Johnson won the World Golf Champion-ships-Mexico Championship in February and tied for second last week in the Masters.

Lowry was the steadiest of anyone for the first 2 1/2 rounds and held a three-stroke lead over Johnson entering the back nine before faltering. The Irishman came up short on a sand shot on the 13th hole and took bogey. He put his tee shot into the water on the par-3 14th for a second straight bogey. Two holes later, Lowry added his third bogey after going the first 48 holes with just one.

“Even making those bogeys, it was the best I’ve been in a while (to stay in position for a victory),” he said.

Lowry was among 56 competitors who had to finish the rain-delayed second round in the morning.

Poulter is seeking a bit of payback on Harbour Town after last year. He was the 54-hole leader with three sub-70 rounds be-fore ballooning to a 75 on Sunday. He opened his third round this time with a dou-ble-bogey 6, but rallied with six birdies the rest of the way to stay close.

Sabbatini strung together nine straight pars to close his round.

Cantlay bounced back after putting up a 72 in the second round with a bogey-free round. He said he’s kept the good mindset he had with his play at Augusta National last week.

“Playing that well on the weekend was ob-viously huge,” he said. “I feel like I usually play well and close strong.”

MLB ROUNDUP

Judge hurts oblique, likely to injured list; Yankees top KC 9-2

NEW YORK — All-Star slugger Aaron Judge hurt his left oblique while taking a swing and likely was headed to the injured list as the already banged-up New York Yan-kees beat the Kansas City Royals 9-2 Saturday.

Judge homered early, but hurt himself in the sixth in-ning while hitting a single. He was taken to a hospital for an MRI and further tests.

Asked if Judge could possibly avoid going on the in-jured list, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said, "Probably not."CARDINALS 10METS 2

ST. LOUIS — Miles Mikolas tossed eight stellar innings and also drove in two runs, leading the St. Louis Cardi-nals over the New York Mets 10-2 on Saturday.

Cardinals third baseman Matt Carpenter left the game after the sixth inning with a bruised left knee. He ap-peared to foul a ball off himself, but stayed in and drew a walk, then scored a run and exited.

Jose Martinez had three hits and three RBIs and Paul Goldschmidt hit his eighth home run for St. Louis.

Mikolas (2-1) became the first St. Louis pitcher to re-cord an out in the seventh inning this season. He allowed two runs and four hits.D-BACKS 6CUBS 0

CHICAGO — Zack Greinke pitched three-hit ball over six innings and the Arizona Diamondbacks supported him with three home runs in a 6-0 victory over the Chica-go Cubs on Saturday.

Greinke (3-1) won for the third time in four starts since a season-opening loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 2009 AL Cy Young Award winner also picked up his first victory in six career starts at Wrigley Field, giving him at least one win at every National League ballpark.INDIANS 8BRAVES 4

CLEVELAND — Corey Kluber bounced back from one of his worst outings in recent years by working seven in-nings and Carlos Santana celebrated his U.S. citizenship with three hits, leading the Cleveland Indians over the Atlanta Braves 8-4 in the opener of a doubleheader on Saturday.

Kluber (2-2) shook off a rough first inning and allowed four runs and five hits. The right-hander didn’t get out of the third inning in his previous start, when he walked a career-high five and gave up two homers in a no-decision against Kansas City.

Max Moroff homered and had two RBIs for Cleveland, which won its fourth straight.

Greg Allen hit a run-scoring double off starter Julio Te-heran (2-2) and the Indians scored six runs in the fifth — all with two outs. Teheran fell to 6-13 in interleague games.

Brian McCann and Matt Joyce connected for back-to-back homers off Kluber in the seventh. The Braves, who have lost four in a row, had just six hits.

Nuggets knock off Spurs117-103 to even series

SAN ANTONIO — Nikola Jokic had 29 points and 12 re-bounds, Jamal Murray added 24 points and the Denver Nug-gets beat the San Antonio Spurs 117-103 on Saturday night, rebounding from a flat performance tie the first-round series at two games apiece.

LaMarcus Aldridge had 24 points and nine rebounds for San Antonio. DeMar DeRozan added 19 points before he was ejected with five minutes re-maining after arguing with an official over an offensive foul.

Game 5 is Tuesday night in Denver.

The Nuggets were more ag-gressive and physical after a deflating Game 3 loss, just as Denver coach Michael Malone had hoped.

"I want to see some emotion. I want to see some fire. I want to see some passion," Malone said prior to the game.

Malone was able to stir that fire with a couple of changes after Derrick White's 36-point outing in San Antonio's Game 3 victory.

Torrey Craig started over a struggling Will Barton and was charged with defending White to open the game, with Murray switching to Forbes. The moves proved beneficial, if not at first.

White was limited to eight points on 3-for-8 shooting after going 15 for 21 on Thursday. Craig finished with 18 points, going 5 for 7 on 3-pointers. Barton finished with 12 points and made all three of his 3-point attempts.

Down by 12 points in the first quarter, Denver out-scored San Antonio 69-45 in the second and third.

Aldridge had 13 points in the opening quarter, shoot-ing 5 for 9. His final points of the quarter came when he grabbed a miss by Marco Belineli and slammed it back in. Denver rallied in the second, with Jokic and Murray combining for 15 points as the Nuggets out-

scored 34-22.The Spurs stopped driving

to the basket and the Nuggets began making their 3-point-ers.

Denver finished 15 for 31 on 3-pointers.

TIP-INSNuggets: Denver's last play-

off victory in San Antonio was April 22, 2007. The Nug-gets have lost 13 straight in San Antonio during the regu-lar season. ... Barton started 38 of 43 games during the reg-ular season and the first three games of the series.

Spurs: San Antonio hosted

its 200th playoff game and competed in its 400th overall, joining Boston, Philadelphia and Los Angeles (Lakers) as the only franchises with that postseason experience. ... The Spurs have led after the first quarter in every game this se-ries. ... Aldridge made his 35th postseason appearance with the Spurs, one more than he did in nine seasons with Port-land. ... Mills drew a foul on consecutive 3-point shots, going 5 for 6 on free throws.

Cathryn & Tripp Poplin

Hurney also predicted there will be a hand-ful of offensive linemen who'll be selected in the first round, and said that the group is strong overall.

After Kalil was placed on injured reserve with a knee injury last summer, Carolina brought in journeyman Chris Clark to play left tackle before turning to Marshall New-house later in the season. The Panthers re-signed right tackle Daryl Williams this offsea-son, a move that could potentially mean Tay-lor Moton will shift to left tackle.

But if someone such as Washington State's Andre Dillard or Florida's Jawaan Taylor falls to No. 16, the Panthers may head in that di-rection. Carolina hasn't drafted an offensive tackle in the first round since Jeff Otah in 2008.

On the other side of the ball, the Panthers signed veteran pass rusher Bruce Irvin to a one-year deal, but he's not viewed as the long-term answer opposite Mario Addison. Clem-son's Clelin Ferrell, Michigan's Rashan Gary and Florida State's Brian Burns are potential options with the 16th pick that could help fill the void left by Peppers' departure.

"It's a good class of edge rushers," coach Ron Rivera said. "We feel really good about the guys we have seen."

Some things to watch for the Panthers in the NFL draft:

NEWTON'S SUCCESSORHurney sounded optimistic about Newton's

recovery, saying the 2015 league MVP is gain-ing more range of motion in his surgically re-paired right shoulder. However, Newton hasn't thrown a football yet.

Newton has two years left on his contract, and it's possible the team could start looking for a long-term replacement.

"Our philosophy is you have to develop young quarterbacks," Hurney said.

One potential option outside of the first round is West Virginia's Will Grier, who grew up in Huntersville, North Carolina, — about 20 miles north of where the Panthers play their home games. The Panthers have met ex-tensively with Grier this offseason.

SAFETY DANCEThe Panthers re-signed Eric Reid to a big

contract earlier this offseason, but the other safety spot remains up in the air after the team parted ways with veteran Mike Adams earlier this offseason.

Rashaan Gaulden, a third-round pick in 2018, and Da'Norris Searcy are potential re-placements, but if the Panthers can find a safety with a knack for causing turnovers in the second or third rounds there is a real chance they could fill that need.

REPLACING OLSENGreg Olsen has been a magnificent player

for the Panthers, but the three-time 1,000-yard receiver has struggled to stay on the field the past two seasons because of foot injuries. All signs are Olsen will be back for another sea-son, but at some point the team will need to look to replace the 34-year-old tight end.

PRO FOOTBALL

After tough season, Falcons facing greater urgency in draft

THE ASSOCIATED PRESSClemson defensive lineman Christian Wilkins runs a drill at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis in March. Wilkins could be headed to Atlanta to help bolster the Falcons’ line.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons spent the past couple of drafts fill-ing in the pieces on a team with championship aspira-tions.

This time around, they're coming off a hugely disap-pointing season that turned up the heat on coach Dan Quinn and general manager Thomas Dimitroff.

The Falcons have the 14th overall pick in next week's draft — their earliest selec-tion since 2015, when they took Clemson defensive end Vic Beasley at No. 8.

Despite a 7-9 record in 2018, which led to the ouster of all three coordinators, Dimitroff said there is no greater sense of urgency than other drafts. Just two seasons removed from a trip to the Super Bowl, he still feels the Falcons have the nucleus to reclaim their place as one of the league's better teams, especially after addressing some of the most pressing needs in free agency.

"We're going into the draft in a really good place," Dimi-troff said. "We don't feel the same amount of pressure going into the draft having to get all these depth areas taken care of. That's a good feeling."

This is the fifth draft to-gether for Dimitroff, the Fal-cons' GM since 2008, and Quinn, who came aboard as head coach in 2015. The two take a collective approach to making their choices, which seems to work well for both.

"We all have our hands in it," Dimitroff said. "This is not an organization where you have one guy pounding their fist on the table."

The Falcons' success on the first night of the draft may be determined by how many quarterbacks are selected in the first 13 picks. Oklahoma's Kyler Murray, Ohio State's

Dwayne Haskins and Mis-souri's Drew Lock have all been mentioned as potential top 10 picks.

Atlanta, of course, is set at quarterback with 2016 MVP Matt Ryan and veteran back-up Matt Schaub. Quinn jok-ingly lobbied for other teams to gobble up as many quar-terbacks as possible before the Falcons get their turn.

"This is one of the best quarterback classes I've seen since 1983," Quinn said, with tongue planted firmly in cheek. "It's really, really something to behold."

Here are some things to watch for when it's the Fal-cons' time to pick:

BULKING UPAfter a devastating rash of

injuries gutted both sides of the line, the Falcons learned the hard way there's no such thing as too much depth. Even though they signed guards James Carpenter and Jamon Brown in free agency, and also brought back defen-sive end Adrian Clayborn, the Falcons will be looking for more big bodies in the draft.

If Clemson defensive tackle Christian Wilkins or Ala-bama offensive tackle Jonah Williams falls their way, it would be hard to pass up — especially on the offensive side, where the Falcons must do a better job of protecting Ryan.

"It's a big year for offensive linemen," said Dimitroff, who thinks as many as 10 could go in the opening round. "It's not only a big year for number of tackles, but this is a year when several guards could fall in the first round as well."

THIN CORNERThe Falcons parted ways

with three of their top four

cornerbacks from 2018, in-cluding longtime starter Rob-ert Alford, making this a top draft priority. Atlanta always seems to select a player from LSU, so Greedy Williams could be on the radar. Geor-gia's Deandre Baker is anoth-er player to keep an eye on.

"It's not necessarily a fast group," Dimitroff pointed out. "That said, there are some really good corners. Just because their (40-yard) times are in the 4.5s doesn't mean they won't be effective in this league."

EYES ON THE BACKFIELDRunning back Devonta

Freeman has endured two straight injury-plagued sea-sons, and the Falcons no lon-ger have insurance policy Tevin Coleman, who left in free agency to sign with the 49ers. Atlanta will likely be looking for another running back on the second or third day of the draft.

PLAYING IT SAFEWith starting safeties

Keanu Neal and Ricardo Allen both coming off major injuries, Quinn acknowl-edged that the team might be looking to add to its depth in that area.

"That's an important posi-tion, and it's evolved more," said the coach, who is taking on the added duties of defen-sive coordinator. "People are using a third safety more than they have in the past."

TRADING THOMASDimitroff loves to wheel

and deal on draft day, and he's got extra picks to work with in the fourth and fifth rounds, a total of nine selec-tions in all. While a major deal seems unlikely, look for the Falcons to do some ma-neuvering to get the players they want.

NBA PLAYOFFS

Celtics can sweep; Warriors, Raptors, Blazers aiming at 3-1

ORLANDO, Fla. — The stars have been stars in these playoffs.

Kyrie Irving has Boston on the cusp of sweeping away Indiana Pac-ers. Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry and Golden State are coming off a game against the Los Angeles Clip-pers where the Warriors looked very much like the NBA champions again. Damian Lillard and Russell Westbrook are going at each other big-time in the Portland-Oklahoma City series.

And then there's Pascal Siakam.Toronto's surprise story is no sur-

prise anymore.Siakam has been perhaps the big-

gest breakout player in these play-offs, adding to his breakout season for the Raptors — who lead the Or-lando Magic 2-1 in their first-round matchup thanks largely to the 25-year-old from Cameroon and his 24.3 points and 10 rebounds per game in the series.

It's easy to forget that Siakam only started playing organized basketball seven years ago.

"Seriously?" Raptors guard Danny Green asked, unaware of his team-mate's unique background.

Seriously.Raptors coach Nick Nurse was

amused by a recent question sug-gesting the Siakam was the team's third option offensively behind Kawhi Leonard and Kyle Lowry. Nurse said the way Toronto sees it, Siakam — "Spicy P" is what they call him in Toronto, and the team sent out bottles of hot sauce with his face on the box to NBA awards voters as part of his Most Improved Player campaign — has really been the sec-ond option all season.

At times in these playoffs, he's been the first option. In other words, a star is being born.

"Hey, look, he was terrific," Magic coach Steve Clifford said after Siakam's 30-point, 11-rebound effort in Game 3.

There's four games on tap Sunday: Boston has a 3-0 lead and can be-come the first team to advance to the second round if it wins at Indiana. All three other series on the sched-ule — Golden State at the Los Ange-les Clippers, Toronto at Orlando and Portland at Oklahoma City — have the road teams leading 2-1 and in po-sition to all go home for potential closeout wins if they get victories on Sunday.

Here's a look at Sunday's games:

CELTICS AT PACERSCeltics lead 3-0. Game 4, 1 p.m. EDT, ABCNEED TO KNOW: Boston is seek-

ing its first series sweep since 2011, when it rolled past the Knicks. The Celtics' other 4-0 sweeps came in 1959, 1980, 1981 and 1986. The Pacers are trying to avoid a fourth straight first-round exit and their second 4-0 loss in three years.

KEEP AN EYE ON: Pacers start-ing forwards Bojan Bogdanovic and Thaddeus Young will be free agents this summer. Might this be their fi-nales in Indiana?

INJURY WATCH: Pacers star Vic-tor Oladipo, out since January with a right knee injury, is expected to be at Game 4. He was going to fly in for Game 3, but was delayed by weather.

PRESSURE IS ON: Boston. There's no pressure on Indiana; no one has come from 3-0 down to win a series, so the Pacers won't be expected to change that. Boston is playing for more rest before facing the Milwau-kee-Detroit winner.

WARRIORS AT CLIPPERSWarriors lead 2-1. Game 4, 3:30 p.m.

EDT, ABCNEED TO KNOW: Golden State

sent a very clear message in Game 3,

blowing out Los Angeles by 27 with only one starter logging more than 30 minutes. And the Clippers have allowed a staggering 129.7 points in their last six games (going 2-4).

KEEP AN EYE ON: The Clippers' first unit. Lou Williams and Montre-zl Harrell are great off the bench and play starters' minutes, so this is somewhat misleading, but Doc Riv-ers can't have just one starter in double figures — as was the case in Game 2.

INJURY WATCH: Andrew Bogut had eight points, 14 rebounds and five assists in his first game as De-Marcus Cousins' replacement for the Warriors.

PRESSURE IS ON: Patrick Bever-ley. The Clippers' point guard is un-questionably tough, but four fouls and five shots in 18 minutes — like he had in Game 3 on Thursday — won't cut it again.

RAPTORS AT MAGICRaptors lead 2-1. Game 4, 7 p.m. EDT,

TNTNEED TO KNOW: Entering Satur-

day, three players in these playoffs — Stephen Curry, James Harden and Pascal Siakam — had a 30-point double-double. Curry and Harden made a combined $68 million this season. Siakam made about $1.5 mil-lion.

KEEP AN EYE ON: Orlando guard Evan Fournier is 12 for 42 in this se-ries and was 1 for 12 in Game 3. Among players with at least 10 shot attempts, there's been only five in-stances in Magic history where someone shot worse in a home

game.INJURY WATCH: Bad news for Or-

lando: Toronto's Kawhi Leonard was ailing for Game 3 with an illness, which may explain some of his 6-for-19 shooting effort. He's expected to feel better Sunday.

PRESSURE IS ON: Orlando's starters. Toronto opened on an 11-0 run (and 16-2) in Game 2 and a 10-0 run in Game 3. Another occur-rence of that in Game 4 would be trouble.

TRAIL BLAZERS AT THUNDERTrail Blazers lead 2-1. Game 4, 9:30

p.m. EDT, TNTNEED TO KNOW: Oklahoma City

clearly got its swagger back in Game 3. And Portland needs to buck this history: The Trail Blazers are 0-7 in their last seven playoff games imme-diately following a loss.

KEEP AN EYE ON: The Damian Lillard-Russell Westbrook matchup is the premier head-to-head tussle so far in these playoffs. Lillard's 25-point third quarter in Game 3 was phenomenal, but the Thunder held him to seven points in the other three quarters.

INJURY WATCH: Thunder for-ward Paul George struggled with his shot again in Game 3 — a season-worst 3 for 16, raising questions about his troublesome right shoul-der. But he got to the line 17 times, making 14, so he's clearly not shying from contact.

PRESSURE IS ON: Portland's de-fense. Trail Blazer fouls sent the Thunder on the foul line 39 times in Game 3.

NBA PLAYOFFS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESSBoston guard Jaylen Brown (7) and the Celtics will try to complete a sweep of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series against Indiana today in Indianapolis.

BY TIM REYNOLDSThe Associated Press

Embiid returns, leads 76ers past Nets 112-108 for 3-1 lead

NEW YORK — Joel Embiid had 31 points and 16 rebounds, and passed to Mike Scott for the go-ahead 3-pointer with 18 seconds left as the Philadel-phia 76ers beat the Brooklyn Nets 112-108 on Saturday to take a 3-1 series lead.

Embiid also had a flagrant foul that led to a scuffle and two ejections dur-ing an eventful return to the lineup after missing Game 3 with a sore left knee.

Tobias Harris had 24 points, eight rebounds and six assists for the 76ers. They can advance to the Eastern Con-ference semifinals for the second straight season with a victory at home Tuesday night.

They got a big boost from the return of Embiid, who scored eight straight points in the fourth quarter after the Nets led by seven. He helped the 76ers overcome the loss of Jimmy Butler, who was ejected in the third quarter after Embiid's hard foul on Jarrett Allen.

Caris LeVert scored 25 points after being inserted into the Nets' starting lineup. D'Angelo Russell and Allen each added 21.

Jared Dudley also was inserted into the starting lineup for the Nets and had been agitating the 76ers with his defense and his talking, but was gone midway through the third quarter as one of the central figures in the scuffle that spilled into the stands.

Embiid swung his arm forcefully while fouling Allen, and Dudley quickly moved in and bumped Embi-id. Butler then ran in and pushed Dudley to start the shoving. Dudley, Simmons and referee Ed Malloy all got knocked into the seats, and after a lengthy video review, Butler and Dud-ley were given technical fouls and ejected, and Embiid's foul was ruled a flagrant 1.

Embiid would later make the biggest mark with his offense. The 76ers were trying to get the ball to him trailing by one after Joe Harris' layup, but Embi-id couldn't control the pass under the rim. But he regained the ball and found Scott in the corner for a 3 and a 110-108 lead.

Allen then turned the ball over after three Sixers surrounded him and Har-ris closed out the scoring with two free throws.

Dudley and Simmons jawed at each other after Dudley gave him a long stare with his arms up after hitting a 3-pointer during a 9-0 run that gave Brooklyn a 63-53 lead shortly before halftime. The Nets led 63-57 at the break.

THE SUMTER ITEM SUNDAY, APRIL 21, 2019 | C1

Make a presenceRecently, I attended a

meeting of some local landowners

and South Carolina De-partment of Natural Re-sources law enforcement officers at a site in western Sumter County.

The reason for the meeting was to discuss options for se-curing rural properties after a series of trespassing and poaching incidents.

Landowners Hugh Ryan, Marvin Davant and Feed Mill Hunt Club President Chas Bostic attended.

SCDNR First Sgt. Sidney Rainwater and Lance Cpl. Ed Laney gave some insight on the state laws regarding tres-passing and poaching and of-fered some advice for dealing with law breakers.

Sgt. Rainwater is a team member of Staff Operations that manages the Operation Game Thief, Coastal Watch and Property Watch pro-grams. Officer Ed Laney is a Sumter County game warden.

They pointed out that poaching is more than a nui-sance for landowners and

property managers. It is a vio-lation of property rights, stealing of our natural re-sources and a safety concern.

They noted that the best way to keep trespassers and poachers from violating rural property is to make some kind

of a presence there. That doesn’t mean that you have to be there in person all the time. There are some steps that landowners and hunt club manag-ers can do to

keep the land secure. Poachers will generally look

for easy targets. Land that is held by an out-of-town owner, that doesn’t get much use, is a prime target. If the owner or manager is unable to visit the property often, they can have someone local check on the land for them. Tire tracks on driveways and woods roads will show that the property is being used.

Posting the property boundaries with “No Tres-passing” signs is important. It takes away a trespasser’s

excuse that they didn’t know they were across a boundary or on private land. Install well-constructed gates, with strong locks, on entrance roads.

Install trail cameras or a surveillance system. A time-stamped photo of a poacher could be enough for an arrest and conviction. Think of it as “hard evidence.”

Call the local game warden and introduce yourself. Invite the person out to the property. Put his or her number in your cellphone. Wardens can’t watch the property for you all the time, but a good relation-ship helps when a problem is discovered. An officer will work with a landowner on how he wants to handle prob-lems.

What should a landowner or manager do if a trespasser or poacher is encountered? If at all possible, avoid confron-tation. Gather as much infor-mation as possible about his or her appearance, weapon, vehicle or anything else that may be pertinent. Contact SCDNR at the Operation Game Thief hotline number 1-800-922-5431.

The SCDNR Property Watch Program offers an additional

level of protection for rural landowners and property managers. Authorization is given to allow SCDNR to pros-ecute violations of trespassing upon the enrolled property, without the presence of the landowner, lessee or autho-rized representative. An appli-cation form to enroll a proper-ty can be found on the SCDNR website.

There is no cost to enroll a property. The program is funded by donations and sign sales. Property Watch signs and membership cards are available for a small fee and can be ordered online. For more information, call the Law Enforcement Division at (803) 734-4002.

I have used the Property Watch Program on a timber company lease that I held in Clarendon County. It made an immediate and tremendous impact on the security of the property. I’ve had poaching and trespassing problems on my own property in Claren-don County, and I can’t be there all the time, so I plan to enroll the land in the pro-gram. I can even enroll ad-joining properties that belong to relatives with their written permission.

The Property Watch Pro-gram will help make a pres-ence on a rural property.

Dead jellyfish, shrimp, crabs wash up on S.C. beach

SULLIVAN’S ISLAND (AP) — Hun-dreds of dead jellyfish, some shrimp and crabs have washed up across the Sullivan’s Island beach.

What’s causing it? The Post and Courier reported it’s because of sum-mer breezes.

Cannonball jellies tend to turn up in the nearshore waters during April, pushed in from the Gulf Stream with washes of warmer water. They’re a sign that the surf is approaching that magic room-temperature zone a lot of people find tempting on a hot day.

When the wind blows as hard as it has, the jellies end up on the beach, resulting in Monday’s dead sea life find.

“Nothing unusual at all given the time of year and wind conditions since Sunday,” said Mel Bell, South Carolina Department of Natural Re-sources fisheries management direc-tor. As for the other critters, “when the winds are blowing as hard as they have been, anything on the bottom gets bounced around a good bit and pushed ashore with the tide.”

Jellies have been turning up on the sand at the Folly Beach pier for a cou-ple of weeks, said Charleston County Park and Recreation aide Claire Seabrook. But staff at Isle of Palms County Park hasn’t noticed any un-usual numbers.

The water temperature at the Folly Beach Pier was 68 degrees on Tues-day.

Temperature changes, winds and high tides tend to lead to the beaching of large numbers of a variety of dif-ferent finfish, shellfish or other sea life from time to time. It can be star-tling even to people who frequent the dunes.

“We were completely flabbergasted by the amount of dead sea creatures that were washed up,” Anna Ether-idge of Johns Island said about the Sullivan’s Island beach. “We walked down about a mile and saw hundreds of dead jellyfish, crabs, shrimp and even a dead horseshoe crab.”

Wildflowers are robust, low maintenance, attract insects

Gardeners trying to lure pollina-tors to their landscape would be wise to mimic nature and plant wildflowers. The attractive perenni-als tolerate harsh climates, seldom need fertilizing and resist most dis-eases and insect pests.

Wildflowers are durable, too, re-quiring little or no irrigation once established.

“They bloom early and establish nicely to make a very natural colo-ny,” said Barry Glick, owner of Sun-shine Farm and Gardens in Renick, West Virginia.

But beware: Some native plants are invasive.

“Ragweed, for example, is a native plant but is considered undesirable because it gives us hay fever,” said Sharon Yiesla, a horticulturist with The Morton Arboretum in Lisle, Illi-nois.

On the other hand, she said, “There are plants that people think of as wildflowers, but they are not native.” Queen Anne’s lace, for in-stance, came from Europe and has been around so long that it has nat-uralized here.

“Some people call it a wildflower; some call it a weed,” she said. “Know something about each plant before you choose it.”

Shop at a spe-cialty nursery if you want to grow wildflowers, Yies-la said.

“Wildflowers should be pur-chased rather than dug from the wild,” she said. “This is often reg-ulated by law, and even if it is not, a tremendous amount of dam-age can be done to wild popula-tions through dig-ging.”

Wildflower vari-eties generally are divided into three major groups: meadow, wood-land and wetland. Plants taken from nature generally don’t survive being transplanted because growing con-

ditions can differ so greatly in resi-dential backyards.

“The first step in starting a wild-flower area is choosing an appropri-

ate site and matching plant species to envi-ronmental factors such as climate, rainfall, pH and soil type,” said Leonard Perry, horticulture pro-fessor emeritus with University of Vermont Ex-tension, in a fact sheet.

“Whenever pos-sible, try to select native species as they often per-form better than non-natives,” he said. “Native spe-cies generally are more attractive to pollinators and beneficial insects, too.”

Simply spreading wildflower seed over unprepared ground is ineffi-cient. Site preparation is important.

Break up the soil, and eliminate

weeds before sowing any seed. That will speed germination and reduce confusion over what’s a weed and what’s a wildflower.

It usually is better to choose bare root plants, plugs or seedlings if you want your wildflower gardening to be faster and easier to manage. Seeds are cheaper if you have large areas to cover.

Study package labels closely when buying seed mixtures. Ideally, you want 100% pure seed without any fill. It’s ideal to source natives or varieties that are proven in your area if you want lasting colors for years to come, said Mike Lizotte, a managing part-ner of American Meadows Inc. in Shelburne, Vermont.

“Finding a reputable seed compa-ny or contacting your local Master Gardening Extension or native plant source would be great resources to get you started in the right direc-tion,” he said.

Landscapes may look disheveled once the flowers fade, but don’t be quick to remove spent plants.

“The leaves produce food that help the plant grow and become big-ger and stronger the next year,” Yiesla said. “Also the plant may pro-duce seeds or fruit that feed birds and wildlife.”

Reflections remembers a val-ued post-war industry which became established in the Sumter community, Segalock

Fasteners. This modern facility “ had initially established itself in the Gamecock City in January of 1948 in a 6,500-foot plant located on Commerce Street. Within a short timespan it grew to employ 12 employees and had an annual payroll in excess of $10,000. “The company had a well-sustained reputation for its zippers and was re-garded as one of the model establish-ments of its kind in South Carolina.” The company would eventually open two addition plants on Harvin Street and on East Hampton Ave. The infor-mation and photos used to produce this article were obtained from The Item archives.

In May of 1949 an article ran in The Sumter Daily Item announcing that Segalock Fasteners, Inc., a division of the Sega Lock and Hardware Company of New York, decided to expand its en-terprise to Sumter. “The company was the successor to the Burglarproof Lock Company, which had been established in New York in 1912. During World War II, the company was a prime contractor for the Army and Navy, manufacturing

bomb fuses, fragmen-tation bombs, armor piercing and high-ex-plosive projectiles as well as tools, dies, gauges, aircraft in-struments, etc. A con-tract to build a new building which would house all three sites, was awarded to Boyle Construction whose low bid of $93,785 was accepted and con-struction was begun

immediately. Segalock was the seventh largest business of its kind in the Unit-ed States.

“The building was put up by Manu-facturing Enterprises, Inc., a local cor-poration working in close co-operation with the Sumter Chamber of Com-merce. The Boyle Construction Com-pany’s bid was low among ten bids submitted, which ranged from a high of $117,311 to the accepted figure sub-mitted by Boyle. In addition to this sum, other costs included air-condi-tioning, lighting and wiring plus the cost of land, bring the total cost of the building project to approximately $175,000. B. L. Montague, president of the Manufacturing Enterprises Inc., noted that the construction of the new building would begin immediate-ly, and the plant was expected to start operation by January 1, 1950.

The structure was located on the south side of East Liberty Street, ap-proximately 300 feet east of Turkey Creek. Designed to be fireproof, the building was the latest type of mill construction, consisting of brick, steel and concrete. “The most desirable working temperature was maintained year-round by means of the air condi-tioning system which was installed. The plant featured a scientifically in-stalled lighting system, ensuring that the employees could work in comfort.

“Plans to move south were first made by Segalock officials when the Sumter community was selected as the site following a survey of several Southern cities. Louis Segal, presi-dent of the parent Segal Lock and Hardware Company, had visited Sumter in the fall of 1946 where he witnessed a positive labor climate

and other important factors leading him to make plans to expand the fa-cility. “The majority of the zipper plant’s workers were women, and Segalock officials described them as being well-satisfied with their jobs. There was an exceptionally small turnover of personnel according to the plant superintendent, making the facility stable and not subject to sea-sonal shutdowns. Machines, known as the chain machines, used by the workers were extremely accurate and worked on minute tolerances and cost $15,000 each.. They were designed by Segalock engineers and because of the exacting nature of the work, a manual dexterity test was given to all prospective employees.”

A spokesman for Manufacturing Enterprises, Inc., noted that the cor-poration was pleased to add a metal working industry to the Sumter area. The city already had outstanding woodworking and furniture manufac-turing industries. The addition of Segalock would have a balancing ef-fect on the local economy. Segal Lock and Hardware Company, which had been in business for 100 years, praised the Sumter Chamber of Com-merce for its efforts in making this industrial enterprise a success. The management and local citizenry were

convinced that the entire community would benefit from Segalock’s invest-ment.

The plant began operation in Janu-ary of 1950 with the entire zipper out-put of the Segal Lock Company being consolidated at the new plant. This new facility would allow greater pro-duction, shipping its product to all

parts of the world, and would eventu-ally employ about 300 persons, mostly women, and produce a pay roll of about $7,500 a week.

Ensuing issues of Reflections will discuss the arrival of Pettibelle Inc., and Pioneer Dress, which later occu-pied the site initially developed by Sega Lock.

Letter thanks knitters for helping military; Richardson attends YMCA ceremony

YESTERYEAR75 YEARS AGO — 1944Nov. 11 — Nov. 17

• Congressman-elect John J. Riley addressed the Lions Club of Sumter on the topic “Who Are Our Neighbors?” Mr. Riley presented an inter-esting talk and was given a standing ovation by his audi-ence at the close of his force-ful address. He stated that peace and salvation belong to the whole world. “Spiritual, moral and intellectual oppor-tunities have no boundaries. All who need aid have a right to ask for it.”

• The annual Poppy Day sale was very much in evi-dence, with most of the citi-zenry displaying the familiar little red flower which is made by our veterans and sold for their benefit. The Carolina Power and Light Co. window is dressed in the poppy motif and is an attractive tribute to the annual sale.

• Four stained-glass win-dows have been installed re-cently in the Mayesville Pres-byterian Church. Three of the windows have been given in memory of former members of the church, I. W. Bradley, H. D. Corbett and Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Shaw. The fourth window, a full panel, Geth-semane, has been given by the congregation as a whole in honor of those in the service. The inscription on the soldier window reads as follows: “Dedicated a tribute of honor and affection to all those from here who served well their country in World War II.”

• Sumter floundered through to a 13-13 tie with Fayetteville, North Carolina, in a game played yesterday at the Sumter County Fair. About 3,500 spectators saw the contest. The Gamecocks moved with apparent ease at the start and punched over a touchdown in the first quar-ter to take a 6-to-0 lead, but the visitors started throwing passes and moved ahead in the second quarter by scoring and making the conversion good. They added another near the close of the first half to make the score 13-6.

• The memorial exercises for World War II dead were made more impressive by the playing of taps at the end of the rites and by the firing of three volleys of shots. Compa-ny I, State Guard, had a pla-toon to execute the firing of arms. The unit was directed by Lt. J. L. Mooneyhan, and Lt. Carl Copeland of the same company was in charge of the color guard. The beautiful me-morial wreath, of red and white roses and gold star heart made of chrysanthe-mums, was standing by the plaque, and a number of per-sons stopped to admire the flowers and the memorial it-self. A tiny flag for each man on the honor roll garnishes the wreath.

• The powerful Army foot-ball team, considered the best in the country, has a Lee County and Sumter County cadet who are helping the squad in no little way. “Doc” Blanchard, almost sure to be an All-American fullback this year, plays at the post for the Cadets. He is from Bishopville and is the son of Dr. and Mrs. F. A. Blanchard. The Sumter cadet is Wallace Hynds Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Hynds Sr., who is cadet man-ager of the Army 11. This is a high honor, for only persons with the highest honors can serve in this capacity.

• The Hi-Y meeting held at the Sumter YMCA is where 11 boys were chosen to go to the Hi-Y Older Boys Conference in Greenville on Dec. 1-3. The delegates are Sonny Thorne, Scott Rumph, Louis Bryan, Archie LeGrand, Bobby Mor-row, Edwin Broadwell, Bill Link, Dave Cuttino, Bob McLeod, Sonny Hurst and Richard Bradford.

• The Central South Caroli-na Camp and Hospital Coun-cil intend to see that no ser-vice man hospitalized in its district of 20 counties is ne-glected at Christmas this year. Present plans call for decorat-

ing the hospital wards, giving parties and presenting each man with a Christmas stock-ing crammed full of gifts. A recent district meeting of the Central South Carolina Camp and Hospital Service Council was held at the hospital at Fort Jackson. Attending from Sumter were Mrs. Leland Moore, chairwoman of Volun-teer Special Services; Mrs. Fenwick Murray, chairwoman of Camp and Hospital; Robert H. Neeley, field director at Shaw Field; and Mrs. Barnes, assistant director at the Shaw Field hospital.

• The chairman of the Sum-ter Red Cross chapter has re-ceived a letter which will be encouraging to many local women who have been knit-ting so faithfully for the men in service. The letter was from Lt. (j.g.) David G. Traxler, USNR, who wrote: “Please permit me to thank your chapter for the wonder-ful sweaters that were donat-ed by you to my crew. Need-less to say, they were comfort-ing and warming out in the North Atlantic, especially during the hours before day-light. My entire crew wishes to express their sincere appre-ciation. The fact that they were worn during submarine attacks might interest you. Thanks again for your kind-ness.”

• A Scout Court of Honor was held at the courthouse, with John D. Lee presiding. Scout Richard Reese would be officially made an Eagle Scout during the ceremonies, and Scout English DesChamps will receive the Order of the Arrow. All merit awards and the two high honors men-tioned will go to Troop 38, evi-dencing keen interest and hard work of that troop. It is expected that the other troops will be similarly cited soon. The merit badges to be award-ed, all to Troop 38 members, will go to English DesChamps, Robert Hirshberg, Archie Le-Grand, Paul Moore and Rich-ard Reese. There will be a number of promotions at the exercises.

50 YEARS AGO — 1969July 13 — 19

• Robert A. Podesta, assis-tant secretary of commerce for economic development, has announced Lee County among 23 South Carolina counties to share in a grant of $150,000 for a job-development program. The funds will help pay for a two-year program of management and technical assistance to attract new in-dustries, expand existing busi-nesses and organize commu-nity economic development. Reducing unemployment, raising personal incomes and halting outmigration from

rural areas into crowded urban centers are the results aimed for by the program.

• Plans are being made for a full evening program at the Area Technical Education Center in Sumter. A number of new and old courses will be offered to meet the demand of those interested in upgrading and improving their skills in different fields.

• A new Sheraton Motor Inn will be constructed at Man-ning, following the signing of a franchise agreement be-tween Sheraton Inns Inc. and Nightingale Inc. The an-nouncement has been made by Gerard C. Henderson, pres-ident of Sheraton Inns, a wholly owned subsidiary of ITT Sheraton Corp. of Ameri-ca and Francis W. Lachicotte, president of Nightingale Inc.

• An estimated $100,000 worth of stamps and cash were stolen from the Sumter Post Office sometime between 11:30 Saturday night and 4 Sunday morning. According to Postmaster Loring Lee, en-trance to the building was gained through the back doors. The unknown robber or robbers used bolt cutters to cut the padlocks and one-half-inch-thick chain holding the door. After entry, a burning torch was used to get inside the vault, burning a hole through the one-half-inch-thick steel vault door.

• Drivers in all three divi-sions at Sumter Speedway seemed to have spin-outs as the red flag was displayed 12 times in the three main events. Lee Johnson seemed to find the right groove on the exceptionally rough track and outlasted nine other drivers in winning his first sports-man race of the season, while Bob Wilson recorded his sec-ond-straight win in the rookie event. Nat Cross continued his dominance in the claim di-vision by winning his seventh-straight feature.

• The Apollo 11 astronauts spent the day before their trip to the moon reviewing the flight plan as servicing of their spaceship continued flawlessly and ahead of sched-ule for the launch. “We are happy to be ready to fly,” said Neil A. Armstrong, the space-ship commander.

• Hula-hooping and Frisbee tossing are expected to draw plenty of young competitors to Memorial Park tomorrow. Brightly colored hula hoops will be a whirl in kaleidoscop-ic patterns as hundreds of youngsters from 13 play-grounds and children who do not attend a playground pro-gram compete in the all-city hula hoop championship. Sumter’s young elite in the sport of Frisbee will also vie for all-city honors. The event

is sponsored by the Parks and Recreation Department.

• Sumter National whipped Manning with a six-run rally in the last inning while Or-angeburg topped Sumter American in 10 innings in the District Six Palmetto Boys baseball tournament at Pal-metto Park. Manning and Sumter American battle next for the right to stay alive in the double-elimination tour-ney while Walterboro, which drew a bye in the initial round, battles Sumter Nation-al in the second game.

• A 728th Tactical Control Squadron airman took one of Shaw’s top honors when A1C John P. Alberta was named Base Airman of the Month for July. Airman Alberta, a native of Norwalk, Connecticut, has only been at Shaw for five months. He attended Kessler Air Force Base technical school in Mississippi before his arrival here.

• Maj. Gen. Timothy F. O’Keefe, commander of Head-quarters Ninth Air Force since August 1968, is sched-uled to turn over command in October to Maj. Gen. Richard H. Ellis, presently serving at Headquarters United States Air Force. Gen. O’Keefe, who has been nominated for pro-motion to lieutenant general, will assume duties as director for logistics, J-4, of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in Washington.

• Funds are being sought to complete the renovation al-ready begun on the Teen Can-teen, under the sponsorship of the Manning Methodist Church. Work has been start-ed on the building with a total of $1,650 received at this time. A goal of $5,000 has been set as necessary for bringing the building up to date, getting it opened and ready for opera-tion.

• Mothers and fathers of children enrolled in the Head Start program in Sumter have been attending classes once a week at seven different loca-tions and have been working on numerous projects for their homes. The purpose of these social service programs is to help the parents under-stand how children grow and learn and also how this learn-ing can be extended into the home.

25 YEARS AGO — 1994April 14 — 20

• Laidlaw Environmental Services will still have to pay $133 million as a condition for getting a permit for its Sum-ter County hazardous-waste landfill; it just won’t have to pay it right away, state health directors decided. Directors for the state Department of Health and Environmental Control backed off a condition issued as part of the permit that would have required Laidlaw to pay $30 million im-mediately into a trust fund for cleanup in case of an accident at the site and $103 million during the next six years. Laidlaw will now have 10 years to pay the $133 million DHEC requires.

• A Columbia developer’s plan to start a new funeral home in western Sumter was approved by Sumter City Council, apparently clearing the way for the business to open. L. Harvin Bullock ap-pears to have cleared the last hurdle in his plan to move the old Clayton Lowder Sr. house to a lot on Wilson Hall Road, renovate it and convert it into a funeral home.

• A former Sumter mayor who helped lead the commu-nity through the early stages of integration died Tuesday, April 19, 1994, at a local nurs-ing center. Clifton G. Brown, 77, served as mayor from 1960-64 before embarking on a suc-cessful career with the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development. Today, community leaders remem-bered Brown as a caring indi-vidual whose leadership set the standard for future mem-bers of council.

• Houston-based Cooper In-dustries has received a na-tional award for its work with

vocational education. The company won the 1993 Na-tional Association for Indus-try-Education Cooperation’s (NAIEC) Educational Spon-sorship Award for a program under way in communities near Cooper sites across the country, including the Cooper Hand Tools Division’s plan in Sumter.

• Citing a staffing shortage, state and local officials have decided to curtail the Sumter County jail’s participation in a prisoner exchange program. Sumter County Administrator Bill Noonan said that state “B custody” inmates would no longer be housed at the jail. He said, however, that “A cus-tody and AA custody” state inmates at the jail will not be affected by the change.

• Renowned Jamaican poet and fiction writer Lorna Goodison will be the featured speaker at the University of South Carolina’s Times Eight English Conference on the USC Sumter campus. An an-nual gathering of the faculty from all the English depart-ments within the university’s eight-campus system, the Times Eight conference is being hosted this year by USC Sumter’s English Depart-ment.

• The Sumter County Recre-ation Department is experi-encing growing pains in its Sumter Kids in Baseball pro-gram. When SKIB teams take the field in the Sumter Coun-ty Jamboree at Palmetto Park, it will be the largest turnout ever. Over 2,000 kids are par-ticipating in the program this season, 300 above last year’s total. Gary Mixon, the Sumter County Recreation Depart-ment director, didn’t expect the increase so soon. “I guess it has a lot to do with the qual-ity of the program over the years,” Mixon said of the rapid growth.

• The Item-NationsBank Run was held at Swan Lake-Iris Gardens. The action began with a one-mile fun run for children age 12 and under. The 5K and 10K races were set for 8:30 a.m. with a cannon-blast start. All of the race courses, which were certified by The Athletic Congress, began and ended at Swan Lake-Iris Gardens. Winners in this year’s race were: Mark Teseniar, 5K; Sheri Patton, women’s 5K; Lansing Brewer, men’s 10K; and Jan Kaneft, women’s 10K.

• National Guard armories are not just military training sites. They are also multipur-pose facilities, state Adjutant General T. Estes Marchant said. Marchant, who oversees South Carolina’s 87 National Guard units, was in Manning for the groundbreaking of the new armory here. The 25,568-square-foot facility will include an assembly hall, classrooms, a locker room, a kitchen and work areas.

• The smell of fried fish and barbecued pork filled the air as thousands of people gath-ered in the Clarendon County Courthouse Square for the county’s 15th-annual Striped Bass Festival. Although the day’s activities may have brought them to the court-house, many people said it was the food that made the festival great. “The catfish were wonderful,” said Bootsie Ehrlich of Shaw Air Force Base. “All of (the food) looked so good.”

• Before he played baseball in the major leagues, Sumter native Bobby Richardson says he remembers playing all kinds of sports at the YMCA. “Fifty years ago, I was an 8-year-old boy that lived a block away from the Y,” Rich-ardson said at an open house and dedication ceremony at the Sumter Family YMCA. “And I spent a lot of time there. I have appreciated my association with the YMCA often over the years,” Rich-ardson said before he, Sumter Mayor Steve Creech and YMCA President Meree McAl-ister cut a red ribbon to cele-brate the Y’s recent expan-sion.

SUMTER ITEM FILE PHOTO1944 — American Legion Post 15’s memorial plaque to Sumter Coun-ty World War II military members who died was unveiled during cere-monies at the courthouse grounds, where the tablet is located. Fifty Sumter boys’ names are on the marker, with five to be added at the time. To the left is a memorial wreath of roses, chrysanthemums and small flags.
