For Sumterites Stacie Ste-venson and Melissa Ricks teaching young

children reading math and writing is their passion

So much so the life-long educa-tors have been doing it after hours and during the summer months for about a decade

The duo spoke earlier this week about their business A Teacherrsquos Place 740 Broad St which special-izes in daily after-school tutoring and also includes a summer tutor-ing camp Both were classroom teachers at Crosswell Drive Elemen-tary School in the late 2000s when they came up with the business idea

Stevenson said parents kept ask-

ing them if they knew of anyone who tutored students after school

One day they were talking togeth-er about how if some of their stu-dents could get that little bit of extra help it would help them so much in the classroom

ldquoSo we decided lsquoYou know what maybe we ought to figure out how to give students that extra help our-selves outside of the schoolrsquordquo Ste-venson said ldquoWe just brainstormed and said letrsquos open up a little tutor-ing program and see what happens from thererdquo

That was in 2009 and the pro-gram started with just four students in a storage room connected to a business at 11 Broad St

Itrsquos been 10 years now and A Teacherrsquos Place currently has a fa-cility with four small classrooms and a library for kids generally be-tween 3 years old and fourth grade

Board may vote Monday on reopening of MayewoodTrustees to first hear costs associated with potential changeBY BRUCE MILLSbrucetheitemcom

The potential reopening of Mayewood Middle School will be discussed and possibly de-cided on at the Sumter School District Board of Trusteesrsquo meeting on Monday

After a motion following ex-ecutive session at its last regu-larly scheduled meeting on Jan 28 the full board voted 6-2 with one abstention to reopen Mayewood for next school year after it voted to close it just last school year However that vote was considered illegal by legal counsel for the South Carolina Press Association mdash according to state Freedom of Information Act laws mdash be-cause the motion was neither on the meeting agenda nor amended and added to it

Now the board will revisit the issue but first hear a dis-cussion of costs associated with reopening the middle school in the rural eastern portion of the county to in-clude moving facilities and programs according to the agenda distributed Thursday by a district spokeswoman

Just before receiving that in-formation outside consultants will provide a facilities study update to include a report on Mayewoodrsquos campus which was omitted from the consul-tantsrsquo presentation to the full board last month A report on FJ DeLaine Elementary School in Wedgefield also closed last year and omitted from the original facilities study presentation will also be made the agenda states

Cumming Corp based out of Columbia was the lead con-sultant in the facilities assess-ment study along with two smaller firms

The study evaluated the dis-trictrsquos schools and ancillary buildings for current renova-tion needs and what those needs are projected to be in five years if no action is taken now given expiring systems mdash such as electrical roofing and heatingair conditioning

After hearing those two items the full board has the option to vote on reopening Mayewood for 2019-20 There will be no executive session to

Columbia City Ballet to perform in Sumter

BY THE SOUTH CAROLINA HISTORICAL SOCIETY

On Feb 13 1903 the state Legislature passed a resolu-tion introduced by Richland County Sen JQ Marshall stipulating that no child under 10 years old could be employed in a factory mine or mill

The bill also mandated that over the next two years the age would increase so that by 1905 it would be illegal to em-ploy anyone 12 or under in those occupations At the time the bill passed children made up more than one-fourth of the textile work force

It took nearly 20 years to ob-tain this legislation Efforts to abolish child labor in South Carolina were launched in 1884 and bills were intro-duced in 1887 and again in 1889 These efforts were de-

feated by those who saw the employment of children as a family matter and one that kept youngsters occupied and out of trouble Industrialists argued the lack of child labor would threaten the statersquos eco-nomic progress

As the progressive move-ment gained steam attention was focused on both child labor and education Surveys indicated that more than half of the children employed in mills were illiterate Textile mills encouraged the employ-ment of entire families and wages were so low that par-ents depended on the addi-tional wages of their children Children as young as 5 years old frequently worked as spin-ners In this role they watched rotating bobbins for breaks in the cotton thread Children often worked 10 to 12

hours six days a week The lack of sunlight and ventila-tion caused health problems and injuries

Though the 1903 legislation marked progress the law was not routinely enforced One factory overseer noted the names of underage workers were simply deleted in compa-ny records They continued to work and another family

member was listed as the re-cipient of their wages In ad-dition only a signature (as opposed to documentation such as a birth certificate) was required to verify the age of a child Orphans could be employed at any age by the mills and domestic and agricultural workers were exempt from the law

After World War I the use

of child labor dwindled More sophisticated machin-ery required adult strength skill and experience Throughout the 1930s and 40s more women entered the work force and wages gradually increased These trends along with compulso-ry education caused a re-duction in the employment of children

COURTESY OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HISTORICAL SOCIETYChildren who worked in agriculture were exempt from the statersquos early child labor laws The children pic-tured here worked at the Pinehurst Tea Plantation in Summerville

COLUMBIA (AP) mdash Senate lawmakers say legislative proposals for reforming South Carolinas prisons are urgent and re-quire more work and public input

Members of the Senate Corrections and Penology Committee met Thursday to dis-cuss prison reform bills but said they need more time before presenting the measures to the full Senate

One of the proposals that occupied the majority of the lawmakers discussions would allow early release and community supervision for inmates convicted of crimes not eligible for parole who have completed 65 percent of their sentences and do not have disciplinary problems

Committee Chairman Sen Shane Martin said the bill would probably be his commit-tees most important legislation this year and said theres too much at risk to move quickly The Spartanburg lawmaker said hes received several complaints from the public and some solicitors concerned about which crimes are eligible for reduced time but said the overall intention of the bill is good

I think our interest is to put our heads together to get it right Martin said Its not normal for us to take testimony on full committee but theres a lot at stake

Author of the legislation Democratic Sen Karl Allen said the bill is intended to provide incentives for inmates by giving them a method to earn their way out as

well as address the understaffing problems in state correctional facilities by reducing the population of inmates

Theres no sense in keeping them there for those years when we can use that money to attract correctional officers and make it safe for everybody so its a win-win said Allen Just about every lawsuit and every death that comes to our atten-tion indicates that understaffing is a con-tributing factor so the state of South Caro-lina must act and act now

The Greenville lawmaker said his goal is to prepare rehabilitating inmates to be con-tributing members of society instead of warehousing them in understaffed pris-ons Co-founder of Hearts for Inmates Erica Felder has attended several hearings addressing prison reform and said she sup-ports legislation that provides hope for in-mates because it gives them something to work toward

Everyone is impacted by incarceration Felder said This is something that is not just going to benefit the inmates but some-thing the state will benefit from

Members of the General Assembly have made a concerted effort to address growing problems in the state prison system more so after the Lee Correctional Institute riot last year that left seven inmates dead and 22 injured in what officials said started over gang territory money and contra-band

Ditch your dieting habits for a healthy diet with varietyItrsquos been about one month since eager New

Yearrsquos resolution makers began their quest for losing weight Dieting is by far the most common approach for weight

loss but it is always the most difficult to main-tain With the promise of cutting something out or never eating something again avid diet-ers are determined to stick to it ldquothis timerdquo

Boston Medical Center re-ports that approximately 45 million Americans diet each year and spend $33 billion on weight-loss products

Diets tend to have strict rules to follow eliminate cer-tain foods or take a lot of effort and are truly not sustainable for the long term With diets like these weight loss may happen quickly but quick weight loss is typically not per-

manent weight loss Anyone can lose weight on a five- to seven-day diet of soup and shakes but is it realistic or even healthy to maintain that for one month one year or even a lifetime

Studies reveal that dieting may not be the answer because dieters often gain back the weight they lose and then some more Addi-tionally dieting causes several psychological effects such as stress anxiety lower self-es-teem depression and irritability When we tell ourselves we ldquocanrsquotrdquo or ldquoshouldnrsquotrdquo these for-bidden foods become more desirable and crav-

ings or feelings of deprivation begin to hit Eventually this will lead to uncontrollable urges and overconsumption of these foods

By removing ldquodietrdquo from your mentality you open the possibility to having all foods and give yourself permission to eat them should you want to Research shows that once foods are no longer forbidden the desire and cravings for them diminish so consumption of these foods goes down

The difference between having a healthy diet and being on a diet is that you can enjoy all foods and food groups on a healthy diet Substi-tuting healthy foods for unhealthy choices is a better method rather than eliminating certain foods from your diet For example you can sub-stitute whole grains for refined grains or re-place saturated and trans fats with healthy fats

Before you change your diet the National In-stitutes of Health suggests that you consider whether the diet is medically or nutritionally safe Be skeptical of plans and programs that overemphasize only one food group or restrict your food choices Food will be part of your daily choices for the rest of your life Enjoy the foods you like pay attention to how they make you feel and make sure to eat a well-balanced diet with a variety of foods every day

Telemedicinersquos challenge Getting patients to click the app to visit a doctor

Walmart workers can now see a doctor for only $4 The catch It has to be a virtual visit

The retail giant recently rolled back the $40 price on telemedicine becoming the latest big company to nudge employees toward a high-tech way to get diag-nosed and treated remotely

But patients have been slow to embrace virtual care Eighty percent of mid-size and large US companies offered telemed-icine services to their workers last year up from 18 percent in 2014 accord-ing to the consultant Mer-cer Only 8 percent of eligi-ble employees used tele-medicine at least once in 2017 most recent figures show

ldquoTherersquos an awful lot of effort right now focused on educating the consumer that therersquos a better wayrdquo

said Jason Gorevic CEO of telemedicine provider Tela-doc Health

Widespread smartphone use looser regulations and employer enthusiasm are helping to expand access to telemedicine where pa-tients interact with doctors and nurses from afar often through a secure video connection Supporters say virtual visits make it easier for patients to see a thera-pist or quickly find help for ailments that arenrsquot emer-gencies But many still fall back to going to the doc-torrsquos office when theyrsquore sick

Health care experts have long said that changing be-havior can be hard In tele-medicinersquos case patients might learn about it from their employer and then forget about it by the time they need care a few months later Plus emo-tions can complicate health care decisions said Mer-cerrsquos Beth Umland

What happens when a whole group of people are hurt They look for someone to blame For the first time I saw people questioning Nick Sabanrsquos coaching genius They with-draw My friends who are rsquoBama fans were strangely missing from so-cial media the day after the game They vow revenge ldquoWait rsquotil next yearrdquo they say naturally assuming a return to the National Championship They trumpet their past accom-plishments Alabama fans reminded us they had more national champion-ships than anyone else (which always has to be qualified by saying ldquoin the poll erardquo since technical-ly that amazing football power Yale has the most) Oddly they start to fight among themselves This is the strangest phenomena of all The Roll Tide fan sites were filled with debates about recruiting quarter-backs coaching and play-calling They started calling each other names even though they were on the same side

What happens when a church feels like it is losing They look for some-one to blame usually the pastor ldquoIf we just had the right pastor (my wifersquos cousinrsquos brother-in-law) wersquod be growingrdquo One of the reasons pas-tors get fired so often is people think the pastorcoach is the reason the church isnrsquot doing well One pastor told me with frustration ldquoI can tell them what God wants but I canrsquot do it for themrdquo

What happens when a church feels like it is losing They withdraw Out-reach isnrsquot a priority ldquoLetrsquos take care of our ownrdquo is the unspoken priority Preservation of the build-ing receives the attention and the funding not doing ministry ldquoWe want a pastor who is good at visit-ingrdquo not ldquowe want a pastor who will lead usrdquo Everything the church does must be ldquosaferdquo Real issues are not addressed

What happens when a church feels like it is losing They worship the past ldquoRemember when we filled up this sanctuaryrdquo They have history rooms not mission rooms Old pro-grams that worked in the 1950s are perpetuated because they worked in the old days not because they meet needs today Old nursery furniture is kept because ldquoIt was good enough for my children (who are now 45 and 38)rdquo

What happens when a church feels like it is losing They start to fight amongst themselves They fight over spending money They fight over de-cisions to update the building They fight over staff They fight over con-

trol They do not fight however over the future because it is too scary

When churches fight people get hurt Staff are expected to make bricks without straw and are fired when they do not recreate the ldquogood old daysrdquo People on the fringe are overlooked because they donrsquot ldquobe-longrdquo Grace is not given to people

who threaten the status quo The fights in church confer-ence or in committee meet-ing get more vicious Labels are applied Sides are chosen ldquoUs vs Themrdquo becomes ldquoRighteous vs Evilrdquo

Hurt churches hurt people When a church feels like it is losing it is hurting Toxicity sets in Healthier people will leave Some will stay out of loyalty to the past No one is asking ldquoHow do I love the

people in this church like Jesusrdquo How do you heal church hurt Itrsquos

simple really The people in the church must decide they want to fol-low Jesus more than they want to blame more than they want to with-draw more than they want to re-member the past and more than they want to fight They beg God for his power to overtake them They commit themselves to discover Godrsquos mission The only way a church heals its hurt is to love the Lord more than it loves the hurt

This is hard work It requires the leadership to seek the wisdom of God It requires the people of the church to be humble and broken be-fore the Lord asking forgiveness as a church and desiring more than anything the wisdom and power of God It requires the people to live in grace being filled with His love and being grateful for His mercy

Is this possible Yes Irsquove seen churches do this hard work The wounds heal The divisions close Health is returned People are helped not hurt

Sometimes churches do not want to do this hard work They choose the easier path of dysfunction Peo-ple in these churches must decide if they need to find a healthier church or if they are called to be part of the faithful remnant that is to reclaim Godrsquos power and wisdom for that church Unfortunately many decide to stay unhealthy in the unhealthy church More people are hurt

Churches are not meant to hurt people by their own hurt Churches are meant to be places of grace tell-ing the good news of Jesus Imagine the world if churches were healthy places of hope

SEOUL South Korea (AP) mdash One North Korean defector in Seoul de-scribes her family back home quietly singing Christian hymns every Sun-day while someone stood watch for informers A second cowered under a blanket or in the toilet when praying in the North Yet another recalls see-ing a fellow prison inmate whod been severely beaten for refusing to repudiate her religion

These accounts from interviews with The Associated Press provide a small window into how underground Christians in North Korea struggle to maintain their faith amid persistent crackdowns

The Norths treatment of Chris-tians could become a bigger issue if North Korean leader Kim Jong Uns expected second summit with Presi-dent Donald Trump produces signifi-cant progress and if Pope Francis follows through on his expressed willingness to take up Kims invita-tion to visit North Korea

Most of North Koreas under-ground Christians do not engage in the extremely dangerous work of proselytizing according to defectors and outside experts Instead they largely keep their beliefs to them-selves or within their immediate fam-ilies But even those who stay deep underground face danger defectors say

North Korea has previously arrest-ed South Korean and American mis-sionaries for allegedly attempting to build underground church networks or overthrow its government Only a small number of North Korean be-lievers risk trying to win converts defectors say

One woman interviewed said she converted about 10 relatives and neighbors and held secret services before defecting to the South

I wanted to build my church and sing out as loud as I could said the woman who is now a pastor in Seoul She insisted on only being identified with her initials HY because of se-rious worries about the safety of her converts and family in the North

The pastor and others spoke with AP because they wanted to highlight the persecution they feel Christians face in North Korea Although the comments cannot be independently confirmed they generally match the previous claims of other defectors

Kim Yun Tae head of the Unifica-tion Strategy Institution a private think tank in Seoul said hes heard similar testimonies about religious crackdowns and underground Chris-tians during interviews with more than 1000 defectors from North Korea over the past 20 years

North Korea has five government-sanctioned churches in its capital Pyongyang but experts say they are fakes aimed at covering up the na-tions religious abuse and winning outside aid North Korea had a flour-

ishing population of Christians be-fore the 1950-53 Korean War but it has withered amid successive clamp-downs against a faith the govern-ment sees as a US-led Western threat

From an outside perspective there is absolutely no religious freedom in North Korea said Kim Yun Tae who isnt religious

The US State Department has in-cluded North Korea on its list of countries violating religious freedom every year since 2001 North Korea has previously bristled at US criti-cism of its religious record calling it proof of hostility toward its leader-ship

In October Pope Francis indicated his willingness to visit North Korea to South Korean President Moon Jae-in who conveyed Kims desire for a papal visit according to Vatican and South Korean officials

Moons office cited Francis as say-ing that if the invitation comes I will surely respond to it and I can possibly go

Most remaining Christians in North Korea likely learned about the religion when they went to China after a devastating famine killed hun-dreds of thousands in the mid-1990s Converts were later captured in China and jailed once they were sent back to the North

Most denied their faith while being interrogated as HY said she was later forced to do when imprisoned in the North so they could survive But not everyone did

Another defector in Seoul Kwak Jeong-ae 65 said a fellow inmate in North Korea told guards about her own religious beliefs and insisted on using her baptized name rather than her original Korean name during questioning in 2004

She persisted in saying My name is Hyun Sarah its the name that God and my church have given to me Kwak said She told (the interroga-tors) Im a child of God and Im not scared to die So if you want to kill me go ahead and kill me

Kwak said Hyun told her about what she did during the interroga-tions and Hyuns actions were con-firmed to Kwak by another inmate who was interrogated alongside her Kwak said she later saw Hyun then 23 coming back from an interroga-tion room with severe bruises on her forehead and bleeding from her nose Days later guards took Hyun away for good

Actions like that strike many defec-tors and South Koreans as extraordi-nary

More common are stories like that from another defector who also in-sisted on anonymity because of fears for her family in the North She said she only prayed under a blanket or in the toilet because of worries of being caught

North Korean Christians keep faith underground amid more crackdowns

partment to learn more about the agency and enforcement of the law

The students later became super sleuths when detective Amanda Snapp a member of the forensics unit set up a mock crime scene to demonstrate how officers respond to calls

Students collected evidence and with the help of K-9 Ava located and appre-hended the suspect

They also had an opportunity to de-ploy a Taser at cardboard boxes

DUBAI United Arab Emir-ates (AP) mdash Iran appears to have attempted a second satel-lite launch despite US criti-cism that its space program helps the country develop bal-listic missiles satellite images released Thursday suggest Iran did not immediately ac-knowledge conducting such a launch

Images released by the Col-orado-based company Digital-Globe show a rocket at the Imam Khomeini Space Center in Irans Semnan province on Tuesday Images from Wednesday show the rocket was gone with what appears to be burn marks on its launch pad

It wasnt immediately clear if the satellite if launched made it into orbit

In the images words writ-ten in Farsi in large charac-ters on the launch pad ap-peared to say in part 40 years and Iranian made in different sections That is like-ly in reference to the 40th an-niversary of Irans Islamic Revolution which authorities have been celebrating this month

Iranian state media did not immediately report on the rocket launch though such delays have happened in pre-vious launches

Iran has said it would launch its Doosti or friend-ship satellite A launch in January failed to put another satellite Payam or message into orbit after successfully launching it from the same space center

DigitalGlobe analysts said the images from Tuesday sug-gest Iran used a Safir or am-bassador rocket in the launch In the January launch engineers used a Simorgh or phoenix rocket It wasnt immediately clear what prompted the rocket choice

The Doosti a remote-sens-ing satellite developed by en-gineers at Tehrans Sharif University of Technology was to be launched into a low orbit

The US alleges such launches defy a UN Security Council resolution calling on Iran to undertake no activity related to ballistic missiles ca-pable of delivering nuclear

weaponsIran which long has said it

does not seek nuclear weap-ons maintains its satellite launches and rocket tests do not have a military compo-nent Tehran also says they dont violate a United Nations resolution that only called upon it not to conduct such tests

Over the past decade Iran has sent several short-lived satellites into orbit and in 2013 launched a monkey into space

Iran usually displays space achievements in February during the anniversary of its 1979 Islamic Revolution This years 40th anniversary comes amid Iran facing increasing pressure from the US under the administration of Presi-dent Donald Trump

The likely launch also comes after Irans Telecom-munications Minister Mo-hammad Javad Azari Jahromi reportedly said Sunday that three researchers died be-cause of a fire in one of the buildings of the Space Re-search Center without elabo-rating

This satellite image from Tuesday pro-vided by Digital-Globe shows a mis-sile on a launch pad and activity at the Imam Khomeini Space Center in Iranrsquos Semnan prov-ince Iran appears to have attempted a second satellite launch despite US criticism that its space program helps it develop bal-listic missiles satel-lite images released Thursday suggest Iran has not ac-knowledged con-ducting such a launch

Images suggest Iran launched satellite despite US criticism

HAVANA (AP) mdash Nearly two weeks after a devastat-ing tornado struck Havana the worst-hit neighbor-hoods are filled with gov-ernment crews restoring power and phone service and starting repairs to deci-mated homes

Theres also a far rarer sight Hundreds of young people in designer T-shirts and jeans hauling black plastic bags full of clothes food and water donated by private businesses artists and other members of Cu-bas small but growing up-per-middle class

For the first time in com-munist Cuba prosperous individuals and successful entrepreneurs have taken on an important role in di-saster recovery long a point of pride for a government that boasts of its organiza-tional ability and focus on caring for the neediest

Why is it only the state and big institutions that can show up Why not every-one asked Camila Gonza-lez a 19-year-old sociology student taking clothes shoes and personal care items to the Cuban Art Fac-tory a privately run cultur-al complex and perfor-mance space

On Monday the Art Fac-tory hired a dozen classic American-made convert-ibles normally used to ferry around tourists to take donations to the devas-tated Luyano neighborhood

Much of the private effort has been organized on Face-book WhatsApp and other social media thanks to the roughly 2 million Cubans who have signed up for mo-bile internet since the ser-vice became available last year Cuba is one of the least-connected countries in the world but that has been changing quickly since the government began provid-

ing home and cellphone connections

The organizational ca-pacity and impact weve seen in recent days would have been unthinkable a de-cade ago journalist Sergio Alejandro Gomez noted in a blog post titled The gov-ernment loses the monopo-ly on social assistance in Cuba

Former President Raul Castros opening of the cen-trally planned economy to a limited amount of private enterprise and more inter-net has changed the socio-economic landscape of the country for the better Gomez wrote

Disaster recovery was long seen as one of the greatest strengths of Cu-bas communist bureaucra-cy whose rigid centraliza-tion seems to work best in situations of national emergency

The state boasts an im-pressive record of avoiding deaths and providing basic services during natural di-sasters although its ability to provide adequate hous-ing long-term is mixed at best

Private aid started almost immediately after the ex-tremely rare Category F4 tornado struck on the night of Jan 27 with winds of 186 miles per hour damaging 4800 homes and completely destroying 500 others

In some neighborhoods individuals began arriving the next day with boxes of donated rice water and clothing In others restau-rants and bakeries set up stands where they distrib-uted free food

Weve gotten aid from everyone the government artists foreigners said Ivis Rivero whose home partially collapsed in the citys Luyano neighbor-hood

Manning searches for new police chiefBY SHARRON HALEYSpecial to The Sumter Item

MANNING mdash The City of Man-ning is searching for a new police chief

The announcement was made on Jan 30 that Manning was advertis-ing for a permanent police chief Manning Mayor Julia Nelson said this week

ldquoThe deadline for submission of applications is Feb 15 2019rdquo Nel-son said ldquoOnce the suitable candi-dates are identified we plan to start the screening and interview process shortly thereof An an-nouncement will be made of coun-cilrsquos final decisionrdquo

Nelson said that the cityrsquos admin-istrator Scott Tanner has been ldquodealing with the day-to-day opera-tions of the Public Safety Depart-ment with communications to the Public Safety Committee It is antic-ipated that an ordinance will be in-troduced in the near future to re-turn the Public Safety Department under the administrator fullyrdquo

Nelson said that in order to offi-cially return the PSD under the purview of the city administrator would require the passage of a new ordinance For the new ordinance to become official it would need the approval of two readings

According to the cityrsquos ad for the position of police chief city offi-cials are looking for a law enforce-ment professional with 10 to 15 years of experience in law enforce-ment at management level or any equivalent combination of training and experience that provides the required knowledge skills and abil-ities The applicant must have strong desire to enhance communi-ty policing by initiating programs for citizen outreach and public en-

gagement The job duties of the po-lice chief are listed as ldquoplans di-rects manages and coordinates all police department operations per-taining to the enforcement of feder-al state and local laws works under stressful high-risk condi-tions and performs specialized law enforcement duties and works under limited supervision of the administratorrdquo

The salary for the new police chief will be commensurate with experience

Manning has been under the lead-ership of interim Police Chief Keith

Grice since mid-July 2018 when city officials fired former Manning Police Chief Blair Shaf-fer in what officials deemed at the time was ldquoin the best interests of the cityrdquo In the an-nouncement Nelson

wrote that the safety of ldquoour resi-dents guests and community is of utmost importancerdquo

Shafferrsquos employee file obtained at the time by The Sumter Item through a FOIA request was pris-tine listing no reprimands or inap-propriate behavior through his more than 25 years of employment with the city police department

Shaffer battled back calling his firing a personal retaliation by Nel-son and an effort by city officials to stop him from following state law

Shaffer fought his termination by asking for a hearing before the cityrsquos Grievance Committee During the hearing Tanner listed several reasons for Shafferrsquos termination including ldquoyelling and speaking in harsh tonesrdquo to city officials rais-ing his voice to a judge failing to follow city policies in promoting of-ficers in his department and ask-

ing police officers to sign a letter affirming that they understood the police departmentrsquos ldquochain of com-mandrdquo a letter that Tanner said could raise ldquopossible First Amend-mentrdquo issues

During his appearance before the Grievance Committee Shaffer told the committee that his firing was ldquoretaliation by the mayor against merdquo for the way he handled disci-plinary action against officers in his department He said he met with the PSC in April concerning an officer however the concerns ldquodid not warrant action against the officersrdquo Shaffer also told commit-tee members that he told the PSC about problems he was having with another officer that involved the of-ficerrsquos dishonesty insubordination to supervisors false statements ac-cess to video using another officerrsquos password and lying to the police chief about the matter Shaffer said that while he wanted to terminate the officer Tanner did not agree with his assessment and he was not allowed to terminate the officer that he thought ldquoclearly violated policyrdquo

Shaffer also told the committee that problems between him and city officials began as early as May and involved a traffic stop that Nelson asked him to look into Shaffer told the committee he had questions about the alleged validity of a letter that Nelson presented to him from a person with knowledge about the traffic stop Shaffer said that when he began looking into the validity of the letter that Nelson told him to ldquostand downrdquo

Following the hearing the com-mittee voted to reinstate Shaffer however when council met to re-view the committeersquos recommenda-tions council voted to uphold Shaf-

ferrsquos termination Following coun-cilrsquos decision Shaffer said he was going to take some time before de-ciding to take the matter before the courts

Less than one week later on Aug 10 Manning City Council voted unanimously to ldquowaive attorney-cli-ent privilegerdquo in granting a request from an outside agency that was seeking information on a ldquoformer or currentrdquo employee Council members did not name the person or department involved in the in-vestigation Information regarding a recent investigation into the cityrsquos police department was mentioned on Aug 2 when Shaffer appeared before the cityrsquos Grievance Commit-tee asking for his old job back

Shaffer referenced a recent inves-tigation into his former department by the cityrsquos attorneys He told the members of the committee that while his department had been in-vestigated by the attorneys that he did not know their findings even though he had requested the results of their investigation

On Jan 7 Shaffer was arrested by FBI agents That afternoon Shaffer appeared in federal court in Charleston where he pleaded not guilty to multiple federal charges including money laundering theft of federal funds and providing false statements Shaffer was released on bond that same day

According to the federal indict-ment against Shaffer he was charged with taking more than $75000 in public money between September and November 2015

A preliminary hearing was held following his arraignment and the federal judge granted Shafferrsquos at-torney a continuance in the case No decision has been made as to when the case will appear in court

THE SUMTER ITEM NATION FRIDAY FEBRUARY 8 2019 | A9

FORT BRAGG NC (AP) mdash Army soldiers struggle to haul heavy sleds backward as fast as they can down a grassy field at Fort Bragg filling the brisk North Carolina morning air with grunts of exertion and the shouts of in-struction from their coaches

Watching from the sidelines Sgt Maj Harold Sampson shakes his head As a military intelligence specialist he spends a lot of time behind a desk Over his two decades in the Army he could easily pound out the situps pushups and 2-mile run that for years have made up the services fitness test

But change has come The Army is developing a new more grueling and complex fitness exam that adds dead lifts power throws and other exercises designed to make soldiers more fit and ready for combat

I am prepared to be utterly embar-rassed Sampson said on a recent morning two days before he was to take the test

Commanders have complained in re-cent years that the soldiers they get out of basic training arent fit enough Near-ly half of the commanders surveyed last year said new troops coming into their units could not meet the physical demands of combat Officials also say about 12 percent of soldiers at any one time cannot deploy because of injuries

In addition there has long been a sense among many senior officials that the existing fitness test does not ade-quately measure the physical attributes needed for the battlefield said Gen Ste-phen Townsend head of US Army Training and Doctrine Command

The new test may be harder but it is necessary Townsend said

Reaching the new fitness levels will be challenging Unlike the old fitness test which graded soldiers differently based on age and gender the new one will be far more physically demanding and will not adjust the passing scores for older or female soldiers

For example in the current test mdash two minutes of situps two minutes of pushups a 2-mile run mdash younger sol-diers must do more repetitions and run faster to pass and get maximum scores than those who are older or female

Townsend said the new test was de-signed based on scientific research that matched specific exercises to tasks that soldiers in combat must do sprint away from fire carry a wounded comrade on a stretcher haul cans of fuel to a truck

The scoring is divided into three lev-

els that require soldiers with more physically demanding jobs such as in-fantry or armor to score higher

We needed to change the culture of fitness in the United States Army We had a high number of nondeployable soldiers that had a lot of muscularskel-etal injuries and medical challenges be-cause we hadnt trained them from a fit-ness perspective in the right way said Army Maj Gen Malcolm Frost com-mander of the Armys Center for Initial Military Training and the officer in charge of developing the new fitness test The goal is about having a more combat-ready army

Frost said that about one-third of the soldiers who come into the service leave before their third year many because of muscular skeletal injuries The new test he said will help screen out re-cruits who are less physically fit and mentally disciplined Those who make the cut are more likely to stay in the ser-vice

It will also challenge senior officers such as Sampson who have been doing less physical desk jobs

It breaks the mindset of I am an intel soldier said Sampson It changes it to I am a soldier because bullets on the battlefield dont discriminate

The Associated Press was with Frost on a recent sunny Tuesday as he watched soldiers from three battalions go through the test The six events take nearly an hour and are done in order

with only a few minutesrsquo rest in be-tween

bull a dead lift with weights between 140 pounds and 340 pounds

bull a standing power throw which re-quires soldiers to throw a 10-pound medicine ball backward and overhead

bull hand-release pushups completing as many as possible in two minutes

bull the sprint-drag-carry that includes a 50-yard sprint a 50-yard backward sled drag a 50-yard lateral where sol-diers shuttle sideways down the lane and back a 50-yard carry of two 40-pound kettle bells and a 50-yard sprint

bull after a short rest the soldiers do the leg tuck pullup as many as possible in two minutes and

bull a 2-mile runMany folks find it easy to do the

maximum standard for the current test Frost said This new test is gen-der and age neutral I cannot max this test

Across the country 63 battalions are working on the final test development and will eventually go back to their units and train others By Oct 1 the en-tire Army will be using the test By Oc-tober 2020 it will be the official exam that all soldiers will have to pass

Technique is key to successAs the soldiers lined up to fling the

medicine ball back over their heads coaches stood by ready to shove them out of the way if the ball went straight up and came right back down

The first throws landed with a chorus of thuds many throws fell short But the second and third tries went farther as soldiers figured out when to release the ball

Next they quickly moved to pushupsCrouched beside a soldier straining to

master the hand-release Frost shouts out encouragement and then drops down to demonstrate proper form Each time the soldier lowers his body both hands must quickly lift off the ground and immediately press back down for the next pushup

A few lanes away Staff Sgt Idis Ar-royo has started what most consider the toughest element the sprint-drag-carry Pulling the 90-pound sled backward down the lane her feet slip and she stumbles

Cmon get up Get up pull pull a coach yells Arroyo bounces up drags it to the end and shifts quickly to the next movement

How hard was itIt was pretty difficult said Arroyo

who is with the 519th Military Intelli-gence Battalion Once we got into the sprint-drag-carry and then sprint again and the laterals and all that I think that was actually the hardest part

But she said she knows it will help her when she has to embed with a com-bat unit

Commanders said the test will be harder at first for less fit soldiers or longtime veterans who are in less phys-ical jobs and many may fail at first But they said that over time as soldiers ad-just and get stronger their scores will improve

Lt Col Eric Haas commander of Ar-royos battalion watched as his soldiers powered through the test He said it was very telling to watch fit leaders struggle

This is a good assessment of where we are physically Haas said For years Ive been taking the Army physi-cal fitness test and thats the most mis-erable I think Ive seen a 2-mile finish line

Sampson who is also with the 519th battalion and has deployed three times to Iraq and Afghanistan said improving fitness will make his soldiers more pre-pared to do their jobs

It doesnt matter that 90 percent of the time I may sit in a chair working be-hind a computer he said Im going to have to move a person from point A to point B

As for his expected embarrassment on the test He scored well and passed

Army aims for more combat-ready troops with new fitness test

THE ASSOCIATED PRESSUS Army 1st Lt Mitchel Hess participates in a weight lifting drill while preparing to be an instructor in the new Army combat fitness test at Fort Bragg North Carolina The new test is designed to be a more accurate test of combat readiness than the current re-quirements

WASHINGTON (AP) mdash President Donald Trump told attendees at the annual National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday that he stands behind them even as speak-ers bemoaned the level of di-vision in the country and what one described as a fracturing of the American family

I will never let you down Trump told an audience that included members of his Cabinet and Congress in-cluding Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi mdash whom he did not acknowl-edge

The pledge came two days after Trump offered a fierce denunciation of late-term abortion in his annual State

of the Union address as he moved to re-energize evan-gelical voters who have been among his most loyal supporters and who will be vital to his 2020 re-election bid

We must build a culture that cherishes the dignity and sanctity of innocent human life Trump said adding that All children born and unborn are made in the holy image of God

Trump also praised Karen Pence the wife of Vice Presi-dent Mike Pence as an in-credible second lady and noted that she recently began teaching art classes at a Christian school applaud-ing the move

The Immanuel Christian

School in Northern Virginia has been criticized for its policy barring gay students parents and employees A document posted on its web-site says the school can re-fuse admission or discontin-ue the enrollment of any student if the atmosphere or conduct within a particu-lar home the activities of a parent or guardian or the activities of the student are counter to or are in opposi-tion to the biblical lifestyle

the school teaches includ-ing participating in sup-porting or condoning sexual immorality homosexual ac-tivity or bi-sexual activity

Trump also thanked faith leaders for their efforts help-ing to pass criminal justice reform legislation which he signed last year

As president I will al-ways cherish honor and protect the believers who uplift our communities and sustain our nation he said

COMMENTARY

EDITORIAL ROUNDUP


Small change could make big difference for jobs in SC

President Donald Trump can help us unlock dynamic growth and in-novation in a sector of the econo-my important to all South Carolin-

ians by acting on a little-known but huge-ly impactful opportunity called the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol

The Montreal Protocolrsquos roots lie with President Ronald Reagan who initiated it as a way to solidify Americarsquos leadership

in all things related to heat-ing ventilation air condi-tioning and refrigeration

While those of us in the Palmetto State certainly have a deep appreciation for the technology that keeps us cool we may not fully appreciate that the United States has been the dominant leader in this global industry ever since

the modern air conditioner was invented in this country in 1902 The Kigali Amend-ment currently under consideration by the White House is important to main-taining this leadership position It phases out the use of hydrofluorocarbons and re-places them with new innovative blends that are more efficient

And it does all of this without any ex-pected cost increase for American con-sumers The reason for this is that Kigali ratification will allow American workers to manufacture the products we sell to the rest of the world A study of the economic benefits reveals that American exports in this industry are expected to be $5 billion more than they would be without the amendmentrsquos ratification and wersquoll see as many as 150000 new jobs

As our state treasurer I speak with business leaders all the time Prior to seeking elected office I was fortunate to have built several successful businesses myself While the business community is no great fan of regulations and red tape what our community desires more than anything else is regulatory certainty

American companies have already de-veloped and hold patents on next-genera-tion technology that have the bonus of being much more environmentally respon-sible putting us in a strong position to continue supplying products that will be in high demand in a global market These companies made those investment deci-sions because they expected that the Kiga-li Amendment which they participated in the drafting of to ensure that it would not harm their bottom lines would be enact-ed

Fortunately in President Trump we have a leader with a unique understand-ing of the needs of the business communi-ty as someone who has built a hugely suc-cessful real estate empire And he also has pledged to consider any trade agreement based on whether it stands to benefit American workers The Kigali Amend-ment gives him an opportunity to address the needs of the business community and to make sure hardworking Americans ben-efit

If thatrsquos not enough Kigali also provides additional tools to hold China account-able Chinese firms have been repeatedly caught dumping cheap HFC blends into our domestic market Kigali ratification would help put a halt to this practice and level the playing field

Irsquom proud to join both of our US sena-tors Lindsey Graham and Tim Scott in calling on the president to send the Kigali Amendment to the Senate for its advice and consideration And Irsquom confident that President Trump will land in the right place on this issue and choose to take an action that will allow America to continue to lead the way in cooling the rest of the world

Recent editorials from South Carolina newspapers

The Times and DemocratFeb 5

SC seems to be indefinite home of nuclear waste

South Carolina did its part dur-ing the Cold War The Savannah River Site produced plutonium and tritium for nuclear weapons

In the decades since there have been plans to effectively and per-manently deal with the radioac-tive waste from the SRS processes South Carolina was never sup-posed to be a permanent home

Itrsquos bad enough that the plan to permanently store high-level waste at Yucca Mountain in Ne-vada has been on hold for years with no sign that will change and that the MOX project that gave South Carolina some hope of hav-ing waste reprocessed has been scrapped by the federal govern-ment but now not surprisingly even the smallest of actions to make Nevada fulfill its nuclear mission is the subject of legal and political battles

The US Department of Energy disclosed this past week that it al-ready has shipped one-half metric ton of weapons-grade plutonium from South Carolina to a nuclear security site in Nevada

The Justice Department notified a federal judge in Reno the gov-ernment had already trucked the radioactive material to the site 70 miles north of Las Vegas when Nevada filed a request for an in-junction to block the move in No-vember

According to Associated Press reporting department lawyers said in a nine-page filing that the previously classified information about the shipment from South Carolina can be disclosed now be-cause enough time has passed to protect national security

Nevadarsquos governor and congres-sional delegation went ballistic upon learning the news

Gov Steve Sisolak said hersquos ldquobe-yond outraged by this completely unacceptable deceptionrdquo He said hersquos working with Nevadarsquos con-gressional delegation to fight back against the US governmentrsquos ldquoreckless disregardrdquo for the safety of Nevadans

Thankfully US District Court Judge Miranda Du rejected Ne-vadarsquos request to halt the Energy Departmentrsquos plans announced in August to ship a full metric ton of plutonium to Nevada from South

Carolina mdash where a federal judge previously issued an order that the plutonium be removed from SRS by January 2020

Nevada argues the DOE has failed to adequately study the po-tential dangers of moving the ma-terial to an area that is subject to flash floods and earthquakes and that the statersquos lands and ground-water may already be contaminat-ed with radioactive materials

The Energy Department wants to temporarily store the material at the Nevada site and the govern-mentrsquos Pantex Plant in Texas two facilities that already handle and process plutonium The depart-ment says it would be sent by 2027 to the Los Alamos National Labo-ratory in New Mexico or another unnamed facility

As reported by AP Du wrote ldquoNevadarsquos claim of irreparable harm to Nevadarsquos lands environ-ment and by extension Nevadarsquos citizens is merely a theoretical possibility at this juncture as Ne-vada provides no evidence from which this court may infer a like-lihood of any concrete or impend-ing harmrdquo

The judge noted that the gov-ernment has transported nuclear materials to the Nevada site be-fore and historically uses plutoni-um in testing operations there

ldquoThus it is highly hypothetical that shipments of additional plu-tonium to NNSS and staging there would lead to imminent immedi-ate harmrdquo Du wrote

Sadly it is clear that South Car-olina will be home indefinitely to a lot of the nationrsquos high-level nu-clear waste

The Post and CourierFeb 5

Santee Cooper developments are encouraging

As South Carolina lawmakers ponder the possible sale of state-owned utility company Santee Cooper their top concern must be the companyrsquos roughly 700000 residential and business electrici-ty customers

Of course a sale is only on the table because Santee Cooper has about $4 billion in debt related to the failed construction of two nu-clear reactors outside of Colum-bia It also has a few billion dol-lars more in debt from other proj-ects

Thatrsquos obviously not sustain-able but the best way forward isnrsquot yet clear There is reason for optimism however

Last week the state Legislature and Gov Henry McMaster got a detailed look at several potential proposals for selling all or part of Santee Cooper Ten bidders made 15 offers which are discussed in a report that analyzed suitorsrsquo expe-rience in the industry financial strength and other characteris-tics

The report doesnrsquot cover the names of the entities making of-fers or say which proposal would be best for South Carolina rate-payers but some of the details are surprising mdash and encouraging

At least three potential buyers said they wouldnrsquot charge custom-ers for the nuclear-related debt for example

Thatrsquos a huge deal especially considering that customers of Santee Cooperrsquos nuclear project partner SCANA which was re-cently bought out by Dominion Energy will likely keep paying for two useless incomplete reactors for decades

A few offers for Santee Cooper even pledged to keep rates lower than what would otherwise be projected based on estimates of future electricity needs and the costs of meeting that demand

Itrsquos worth noting however that the report seriously analyzed only those proposals that included a full buyout of Santee Cooper mdash four out of 15 offers At this early stage in assessing the utilityrsquos fu-ture every option ought to be on the table

After all the SCANA debacle suggests that private utility own-ership doesnrsquot necessarily ensure a better outcome or lower cost than a state-run operation espe-cially under lax legislative over-sight and a flawed regulatory sys-tem

Itrsquos possible that a less typical arrangement mdash a partial buyout or cooperative deal mdash might be beneficial

In the long term South Caroli-na must consider moving electric-ity generation toward a more open market system that would encour-age competition and embrace cost-saving measures like invest-ing in energy efficiency and large-scale solar power

A system that rewards smaller but still meaningful upgrades rather than big-ticket spending would probably have prevented the nuclear fiasco from happening in the first place

But for now itrsquos encouraging that Santee Cooper not only has multiple interested buyers but also several that seem willing to go above and beyond to make sure that ratepayers have access to reli-able affordable electricity well into the future

Lawmakers and Gov McMaster have a lot to consider

Some exceptions do apply however said Stevenson who is retired from the public school system while Ricks is still at Crosswell Drive

After-school tutoring runs from 2 to 5 pm Monday through Friday during the school year for students from any school The rate is $65 per week for a child ($20 for each additional child from the same household) she said The duo serves as the primary tutors but they also have several volunteers

who help out Currently the program has 12 kids

which may seem small to some but for tutoring Stevenson said ldquoallows for more one-on-one time with studentsrdquo Right now parents provide their own transportation for kids The two know

of no other direct competitors here who donrsquot receive grant funding

Homework is done first daily fol-lowed by additional teaching and training they said

The all-day summer tutoring camp is larger with 30 to 40 students oper-ates from 730 am to 430 pm Monday through Friday and runs from early June until the beginning of August generally The summer camp includes breakfast lunch and a snack and also costs $65 a week but is $35 for each ad-ditional child from the same home

The summer camprsquos goal is to get

students ldquoas ready as they can be for the next graderdquo the two said

Ricks said their biggest personal re-ward is seeing the children grow edu-cationally and have an ldquoahardquo moment when they realize they have mastered a new skill

ldquoWe do it because we love the chil-dren and want to see them succeedrdquo Ricks said ldquoI think itrsquos near and dear to both our hearts Our goal is to [reach] as many children as we can and to see them grow and be success-ful in life Each success is just getting us one step closerrdquo

Since Sumter High School is in the 5-team Region IV-5A only three schools are guaranteed spots in both the boys and girls state playoffs

So if the SHS boys are to secure a spot in the playoffs they need a win over Irmo today in their regular-sea-son finale at the Sumter High gymna-

sium beginning at approximately 730 pm

Both Sumter and Irmo are tied for third in the region behind Spring Val-ley and Blythewood Should the Gamecocks lose they could still possi-bly earn an at-large berth but it isnrsquot a certaintyrsquo

If Sumter finishes third it will play in the lower state portion of the brack-et However if it were to get an at-

large it would be in the upper state The Gamecocks would be on the road for either game

The Sumter girls have no such wor-ries as they have second place wrapped up The Lady Gamecocks will be play-ing in the upper state portion of the bracket They will be at home in the first round

Sumter boys need win over Irmo today to secure playoff berth

East contenders make their moves Davis has to wait for hisPRO BASKETBALL

Toronto Milwaukee and Philadelphia made their moves Anthony Davis will have to wait until the summer for his

The New Orleans Pelicans held onto Davis but dealt Nikola Mirotic to the Bucks one of the Eastern Conference contenders who fortified their teams on Thursday before the NBA trade deadline

The Raptors are getting former All-Star center Marc Gasol from Memphis The 76ers a day after acquiring for-ward Tobias Harris from the Clippers sent Markelle Fultz to Orlando and will hope Jonathan Simmons can provide some production where the former No 1 pick couldnt

All the trades were confirmed to The Associated Press by people with knowl-edge of the details because they couldnt be announced before they were approved by the NBA

A busy swap season that included Dallas acquisition of Kristaps Porzin-gis from New York ended without a move for Davis the player who domi-nated the discussion in recent weeks The Pelicans didnt find a deal for Davis who had requested a trade and informed the team he wouldnt sign a contract extension this summer

But the Lakers couldnt put together a strong enough package to the Pelicans liking for the All-Star forward who will go back into the trade market after the season ends There will be other mar-quee names available then with a free agent class that could be highlighted by players such as Kevin Durant Kyrie Ir-ving and Kawhi Leonard

The Boston Celtics didnt jump into the trading deadline fray but may try to get involved in the summer

For now the Celtics appear to feel they have enough to win the East

The other conference contenders looked for upgrades mdash and went out

and got some that likely will fit wellMilwaukee (40-13) already has the

NBAs best record and Mirotics out-side-shooting ability for a big man would appear to fit perfectly in a line-up around superstar Giannis Antetok-ounmpo

Two games back of the Bucks the Raptors sent center Jonas Valanciu-nias to Memphis to acquire Gasol Va-lanciunas had been coming off the bench and Toronto coach Nick Nurse will have to decide whether he uses Gasol in the same manner or returns to a traditional bigger lineup with the former defensive player of the year in the middle

The 76ers have made two major trades during the season previously getting Jimmy Butler from Minnesota before the deal to bring in Harris

All of those clubs feel they improved their chances to be the first East team to reach the NBA Finals without LeB-ron James since 2010

Along with skill Rufus also has a great work ethic

ldquoHe has over a 30 GPA (grade point average) and hasnrsquot missed practice in four yearsrdquo Nelson said ldquoHe works hard and is dependablerdquo

Playing football at Crest-

wood has taught Rufus one important thing to remember

ldquoYou have to think about the good of the team more than the good of yourselfrdquo he said

Rufus credits the Crestwood coaching staff for helping him get this far

ldquoThey molded me into the player that I amrdquo he said ldquoI most likely wouldnrsquot be the player I am today if it wasnrsquot

for themrdquoRufus chose to attend Ca-

tawba for two specific reasonsldquoI felt at home (there)rdquo he

said ldquoDuring the whole pro-cess they were the only school that contacted me from the day I got the scholarship until today (Wednesday)rdquo

Catawba is an NCAA Division II school that is a member of the South Atlantic Conference

RUFUS FROM PAGE B1

Abraham is a guy that was kind of a backup receiver for us during his junior year and we asked him to move to de-fense because we thought we were short a (defensive back) Barnes said He ac-cepted that role -- kind of reluctantly at first -- but did a good job last spring and became a good defensive back

The thing he has if you look at

him is hes 6-foot-2(-inches) and can run and hes almost a 40 (grade point average) in the classroom Barnes said He was a guy that increased his stock dramatically by being willing to help the team and move to another po-sition so were happy to see him re-warded

Temoney didnt turn in gaudy stats averaging 2frac12 tackles per game and pulling down one interception Howev-er the affable Temoney said he was more impressed by the idea of starting

something new and using the experi-ence to advance his long-term academ-ic plans

My first year will be lifting weights conditioning and getting used to col-lege Temoney said Its a small cam-pus but I can focus on my academics there and its a small family atmo-sphere With them starting their foot-ball program up for the first time I wanted to be a part of something thats just beginning -- I thought that would be unique

The coaches especially (assistant) Coach (Jordan) Odaffer were in con-tact with me every day he said What really got to me was how he talked about life after football as far as academics and how Erskine can set you up for your future That really made an impression

Temoney plans to study exercise sci-ence and then pursue a graduate de-gree in physical therapy he said hop-ing to attend the University of South Carolina after his time in Due West

TEMONEY FROM PAGE B1

An All-Star outfielder in 12 seasons and a first-ballot se-lection to Cooperstown Robin-son also was a Rookie of the Year a Gold Glove outfielder and a bruising runner

But his place in the sports history extended far beyond the batters box and basepaths

Robinson fulfilled his quest to become the first African-Ameri-can manager in the big leagues when he was hired by the Cleve-land Indians His impact was immediate and memorable

The Indians opened at home that year and Robinson still active batted himself second as the designated hitter In the first inning he homered off Doc Medich and the crowd went crazy cheering the whole April afternoon as Cleveland beat the Yankees

The Reds Orioles and Indi-ans have retired his No 20 and honored him with statues at their stadiums

Robinson later managed San Francisco Baltimore and Mon-treal He became the first man-ager of the Washington Nation-als after the franchise moved from Montreal for the 2005 sea-son mdash the Nationals put him in their Ring of Honor

More than half the major league teams have had black managers since his debut with Cleveland

Robinson later spent several years working as an executive for MLB and for a time over-saw the annual Civil Rights Game He advocated for more minorities throughout base-ball and worked with former Commissioner Bud Selig to de-velop the Selig Rule directing teams to interview at least one minority candidate before hir-ing a new manager

For all he did on and off the field Robinson was presented the Presidential Medal of Free-dom by George W Bush in 2005

Hall of Fame manager Joe Torre played against and worked with Robinson for years

He was a tough nut Torre recalled at the owners meet-ings in Orlando Florida He never lost that feistiness which puts a smile on your face He was always that guy that com-manded a lot of respect and he had a presence about him

Born Aug 21 1935 in Beau-mont Texas Robinson attend-ed McClymonds High School in Oakland California and was a basketball teammate of future NBA great Bill Russell But it was on the diamond rather than court where fame awaited Robinson

ROBINSON FROM PAGE B1

There are other games today with playoff implications on the line Fol-lowing are where the teams of the other six South Carolina High School League schools stand in terms of the playoffs

CRESTWOODGirls Crestwood has earned a spot in

the 4A playoffs However where is up for grabs

The Lady Knights are 5-4 in Region IV and tied for third with AC Flora heading into todayrsquos game against Lakewood They will be favored while Flora will be favored against Dreher Second place Orangeburg-Wilkinson is 6-3 but plays undefeated Lower Rich-land so a 3-way tie for second could be in the offing Then it will come down to tiebreakers If they finish second they will be at home in the first round of the lower state If they finish third they will be on the road in the lower state If itrsquos fourth Crestwood will open on the road in the upper state

Boys Crestwood has no chance at making the playoffs

LAKEWOODBoys Lakewood is currently in

fourth in Region IV-4A at 4-5 heading

into todayrsquos game against winless Crestwood Should the Gators win and third place 5-4 Lower Richland lose to undefeated AC Flora they will be tied for third If that happens Lake-wood will be the No 4 seed That means it will be on the road in the first round of the state playoffs play-ing in the upper state portion of the bracket

Girls The Lady Gators have no chance at making the playoffs

MANNINGBoys The Monarchs concluded their

season on Tuesday and are the No 1 seed from Region VII-3A As long as it wins Manning will be at home for each of the three games leading up to the lower state championship game in Florence

LEE CENTRALBoys The Stallions play Andrew

Jackson High today but have already wrapped up the Region IV-2A title They can be at home for the first three rounds of the playoffs leading up to the upper state championship game in Greenville

CLEMSON MENrsquoS BASKETBALLL

Reed scores 19 as Tigers blow out Georgia Tech 65-42

ATLANTA mdash When Clem-son got off to a rough start in the Atlantic Coast Con-ference coach Brad Brownell told his players not to fret

There was still time to turn things around

Now the Tigers are head-ed in the right direction

Marcquise Reed scored 19 points and Clemson raced to a big lead in the first half on the way to its third straight victory routing Georgia Tech 65-42 on Wednesday night

Defensively we were very locked in and played with great energy The activity level was high I dont think we gave them anything easy Brownell said Just a well-played game by my team

The Tigers (14-8 4-5 At-lantic Coast Conference) kept up their domination of Georgia Tech winning for the 17th time in the last 21 meetings between the teams Clemson swept the season series follow-ing up a 72-60 victory over

the Yellow Jackets last month

That was Clemsons lone victory in its first six ACC games a stretch that in-cluded four road contests and three games against ranked opponents includ-ing No 2 Duke and No 3 Virginia

We got off to little bit of a

slow start in the league Brownell said When we were 1-5 we talked to the guys and told them not to worry about the big picture not to worry about the standings not to worry about anything but the team getting better

Georgia Tech (11-12 3-7) lost its fourth in a row and

looked like a team that has given up on another lost season The Yellow Jackets havent made the NCAA Tournament since 2010

We had low energy on both defense and offense point guard Jose Alvarado said Weve got to pick it up or were going to lose like this Weve got to keep fight-ing

The Yellow Jackets closed the gap to 33-24 at halftime but didnt have nearly enough offensive weapons to overcome such a hefty defi-cit The home team made only nine of 31 shots inside the 3-point arc and finished at 30 percent overall from the field

Our defense was great Reed said That allowed us to get out in transition and get some easy bas-kets

Skara and Aamir Simms scored 13 points apiece for Clemson which shot 49 per-cent

James Banks III led Geor-gia Tech with 13 points to go with seven blocks mdash all in the first half Brandon Alston added 11 points

In Loving Memory

Netha James Conyers10141923 - 02082011

MomOur lives go on without you

But nothing is the sameWe have to hide our heartache

When someone speaks your nameSad are the hearts that love you

Silent are the tears that fallLiving here without youIs the hardest part of all

You did so many things for usYour heart was kind and true

And when we needed someoneWe could always count on you

Those special years will not returnWhen we are all together

But with the love in our heartsYou will walk with us forever

Missing you so muchYour daughter Doris and the family

IN BRIEF

The Trump administration receivedits first official tongue-lashing Thurs-day by a Democratic-led committeeover the ldquozero tolerancerdquo policy thathas led to thousands of migrant familyseparations along the southern border

One by one Democratic memberslabeled the policy announced last yearby then-Attorney General JeffSessions and implemented by the De-partment of Homeland Security asshameful abhorrent and a ldquostain onthe conscience of the USrdquo

ldquoI really think that what wersquore talk-ing about is state-sponsored childabuse and I would go as far as to saykidnapping of childrenrdquo Rep JanSchakowsky D-Ill said during thehearing of the Commit-tee on Energy and Com-mercersquos oversight sub-committee

Further enragingthose members was theadmission from a De-partment of Health andHuman Services officialand several governmentinvestigators that the practice of fam-ily separations started a year beforeSessionsrsquo public announcement inApril and that it continues to this dayalbeit in smaller numbers

Since the administration has notcompleted a process to identify andtrack all separated families itrsquos un-known how many children were sep-arated and are still being separated

Cmdr Jonathan White who over-saw the care of minors for HHS said heraised concerns about the mass sepa-ration of families as far back as Febru-ary 2017 when he noticed an increasein the number of separated childrenentering the system

He told the committee he warnedhis superiors that a family separationpolicy would lead to psychologicaltrauma for the children and wouldoverwhelm the ability of the depart-mentrsquos Office of Refugee Resettlement

It took Kirk Cox almost 30 years torise from a freshman GOP member ofthe Virginia House of Delegates to thelegislative bodyrsquos speaker

He could jump to the governorship ina matter of weeks as the statersquos top threeofficials Democrats all stagger underthe weight of scandals

First Gov Ralph Northam admittedwearing blackface in the 1980s ThenLt Gov Justin Fairfax was accused ofsexual assault which he adamantly de-nies stemming from a 2004 encounterFinally Attorney General Mark Herringadmitted he too donned blackface inthe 1980s

ldquoThe last seven days have been tu-multuous for our Commonwealthrdquo Coxsaid in a statement late WednesdayldquoThe revelations against and admis-sions by the leaders of the executivebranch are disturbingrdquo

If all should fall Cox would be next inline

Larry Sabato head of the Center forPolitics at the University of Virginiasays that if Northam does exit hewould be the statersquos first governor sincethe Civil War not to complete his term

But Sabato doesnrsquot see all three Dem-ocrats walking away

ldquoSpeculation that all 3 statewide VADem officeholders will resign is over-wroughtrdquo Sabato said on Twitter ldquoOneor more will survive VA Dems won in ananti-Trump landslide in 2017 Theyrsquorenot going to turn government over to apro-Trump GOP House Speakerrdquo

John McGlennon professor of gov-ernment at the College of William ampMary agrees that Democrats will be un-willing to yield power to the GOP afterwinning an election mandate in 2017That preference would more likely beoverturned if the behavior took placewhile the three were in office he said

McGlennon told USA TODAY that thescandals involving Fairfax and Herringhave improved Northamrsquos chances ofpolitical survival ndash but not much

If the accusations against Fairfax arenot corroborated and no other accuserscome forward the lieutenant governoris perhaps most likely to be serving asgovernor when the dust clears McGlen-non said And he believes Fairfaxrsquos racendash African American ndash and the confirma-tion of Brett Kavanaugh to the SupremeCourt will play a role

ldquoYou are a white man accused bymultiple people of inappropriate sexualaction and you get a Supreme Court postfor liferdquo McGlennon said ldquoBut if you area black man and accused without cor-roboration of an incident that you denyyou are forced out of officerdquo

On Thursday a Republican wasdrawn into the controversy A 1968 Vir-ginia Military Institute yearbook over-seen by Tommy Norment features ahost of racist photos including black-face the Virginian-Pilot reported

Norment now the state Senate ma-jority leader declined to comment to thenewspaper but later released a state-ment through his spokesman that said

ldquoThe use of blackface is abhorrent in

our society and I emphatically con-demn it As one of seven working on a359-page yearbook I cannot endorseor associate myself with every photoentry or word on each page However Iam not in any of the photos referencedon pages 82 or 122 nor did I take any ofthe photos in question

ldquoAs my comment on Page 236 notesI supported the integration of VMIAnd in 1997 I led the effort to have myalma mater include women for the firsttimerdquo

Virginiarsquos tumult began Friday withrevelations that Northamrsquos 1984 med-ical-school yearbook page contained aphoto of one person in blackface andanother in Ku Klux Klan robes North-am quickly apologized ndash then the nextday said he wasnrsquot in the photosNortham did however admit donningblackface for a Michael Jackson danceparty more than 30 years ago

Northamrsquos jumbled explanationsprompted calls for his resignation fromleading Democrats and RepublicansHowever University of Richmond lawprofessor Carl Tobias said Thursdaythat he remains convinced there are nogrounds thus far to impeach Northamif he doesnrsquot go willingly

non-VA averages on everything from theER wait times to infection rates andpatient-survey results

The analysis produced some positivefindings for the VA As of June 30 a ma-jority of VA hospitals reported lowerdeath rates than other facilities ManyVA medical centers stacked up better onprevention of post-surgical complica-tions such as blood clots

At the same time dozens had higherrates of preventable infections andsevere bedsores ndash a sign of potentialneglect Nearly every VA performedworse than other providers on industry-standard patient satisfaction surveys

VA spokesman Curt Cashour saidcertain veterans may have conditionsthat make them more susceptible tocomplications and ldquocaution should be

exercisedrdquo when drawing conclusions He said the VA ldquodoes recognize the

need to improve the speed by which itcan admit veterans to the inpatientunitrdquo but non-VA hospitals also strugglewith long waits ldquoVA provides some ofthe highest-quality health care avail-able todayrdquo Cashour said

The Department of Veterans Affairshas been buffeted by crises since 2014when news reports revealed that pa-tients died awaiting appointments atthe Phoenix VA hospital There werelethal lapses in Oklahoma City patientsafety failures in Memphis Tennesseeand equipment and sterilization prob-lems in Washington

The USA TODAY analysis adds to evi-dence of uneven quality within the VAsystem Some hospitals such as thosein Asheville North Carolina and SiouxFalls South Dakota excel on a widerange of measures while others such asMemphis lagged

The Trump administration is consid-ering rules to widen veteransrsquo access tooutside health care paid for by the VAThat would deliver on a presidentialcampaign promise made by DonaldTrump to expand health care choices forveterans Critics warned that increasingVA-funded private health care woulddrain money from the department andlead to its privatization

As the administration weighs thestandards under which expanded non-VA options would be allowed it consid-ers variables such as wait times dis-tance and ndash for the first time ndash quality

lsquoScorecardsrsquo for care

The VA began publishing online anarray of spreadsheets it dubbed ldquoscore-cardsrdquo in the months after Trump tookoffice The quarterly assessmentsinclude comparisons on 65 measures

USA TODAY compiled and analyzedthe scorecards from June 30 the mostrecent available and found that deathrates after heart attack heart failureand pneumonia were the same or lowerthan non-VA averages at two-thirds ofVA medical centers

Most VA hospitals had lower ratesthan other facilities for a majority ofpost-surgical complications such ashemorrhages clots and death

Nearly 50 VA hospitals had higherrates on at least three of four avoidableinfections such as potentially life-threatening intestinal bacteria andbloodstream infections More than halfhad higher rates of severe bedsores

At some facilities problems hap-pened far more frequently than at otherhospitals ndash VA or non-VA Cashour saidsome quality measures are not risk-ad-justed so statistics could appear inflat-ed He said certain veterans such asthose with spinal cord injuries are athigher risk of developing bedsores

Some hospital-quality specialistssaid adjusting rates for risk factors isunnecessary for preventable infectionsand post-surgical complications

Bill Finck former chairman at theLeapfrog Group a nonprofit hospitalrating organization said there shouldbe zero ndash much like airlines aim to havezero crashes ldquoYou either give a personan hellip infection or you donrsquotrdquo said Fincka Vietnam veteran who gets care at thePhiladelphia VA ldquoSafety is safetyrdquo

The VA hospital in Asheville wasamong the better performers on thatfront The hospital had the same or low-er rates on a majority of complicationsand infections than non-VA facilities

ldquoI canrsquot say enough about how good itisrdquo said David Hall 65 a Vietnam veter-an who has received care at the Ashe-ville facility for years ldquoI wish the otherVA hospitals could use their (example)rdquo

The VA has tried for years to spreadbest practices from higher-performinghospitals to more troubled ones In 2015the agency launched a ldquodiffusion of ex-cellencerdquo program to replicate success-ful programs across the country includ-ing direct scheduling of eye and earappointments and text messaging ofappointment reminders In 2017 the VAset up a tracking system at headquar-ters to identify problem facilities anddispatched teams to help them improve

As of October five VA hospitalsranked the lowest one star out of five forthe third straight year in agency ratingsincluding in Loma Linda and Phoenixthe site of the wait-time scandal in 2014The others were Memphis and the hos-pitals in Big Spring and El Paso Texas

Cashour said those hospitals under-went ldquointensive improvement initia-tives over the past yearrdquo and ldquoachievedsignificant gains in multiple areasrdquo

Veteran (dis)satisfaction

On patient satisfaction surveys vet-erans overall were less likely than non-VA patients to say medical workerstreated them with respect the analysisfound They were less likely to recom-mend VA hospitals to others and ratedtheir medical care providers lower

WASHINGTON ndash Members of Con-gress could have their first ndash and prob-ably only ndash chance to question actingAttorney General Matthew Whitaker onFriday and therersquos a lot they want toask Has the White House tried to inter-fere in the criminal investigations sur-rounding the president Has Whitakerrevealed secrets to the White House

And the question that has confound-ed Washington for months Is the inves-tigation of Russian election interferencethat has shadowed the first two years ofPresident Donald Trumprsquos administra-tion really about to end

But first Will Whitaker show up atall

Whitaker is scheduled to appear be-fore the House Judiciary Committee at930 am EST The committee on Thurs-day authorized its chairman Rep Jer-rold Nadler D-NY to serve a subpoenaon Whitaker if he declines to answerlawmakersrsquo questions Thursday Whit-aker told lawmakers that he would ap-pear only if lawmakers promised towithdraw the subpoena threat

ldquoPolitical theater is not the purposeof an oversight hearingrdquo Whitaker saidin a statement

Whitaker has presided over specialcounsel Robert Muellerrsquos investigationsince Trump ousted Jeff Sessions as at-torney general in November Whitakersaid last month that the investigationwas ldquoclose to being completedrdquo the firsttime anyone familiar with its workingshad offered even a hint in public of itslikely trajectory He did not elaborate

Democrats on the panel said theyrsquoreeager to know what he meant ldquoBy say-ing this is close to being wrapped up arethose his wishes or the words of theMueller team I think those are fairquestionsrdquo said Rep Eric Swalwell D-Calif He said lawmakers deserve an as-surance that the special counsel ldquostillhas the freedom of movement that itneeds to pursue leadsrdquo

If Muellerrsquos work is nearing its enditrsquos giving outward signs of an investi-gation still gathering evidence

Lawyers for the special counsel arefighting two cases in which witnessesdefied orders to testify before Muell-errsquos grand jury One involving a com-pany owned by a foreign governmentawaits Supreme Court review

The lawyers confirmed in a court fil-ing that Rick Gates Trumprsquos formerdeputy campaign chairman whopleaded guilty to charges of conspira-cy and lying to investigators ldquocon-tinues to cooperate with respect toseveral ongoing investigationsrdquo Pros-ecutors and Gatesrsquo lawyers said it willbe at least mid-March before theyrsquoreready to set a date for sentencing

Two weeks ago FBI agents gath-ered troves of electronics and othermaterials from the home apartmentand office of Trump confidant RogerStone who is charged with lying toCongress Prosecutors seized so muchinformation that they might not beready for trial until October

ldquoFrom what we can see Irsquom skepti-cal that hersquos close to wrapping uprdquo saidRandall Eliason a law professor andformer federal prosecutor

Lawmakers said they plan to pressWhitaker to explain what he meant

ldquoIt was inappropriate for him to talkabout a timeline for the ending of acriminal investigationrdquo said Rep TedLieu D-Calif ldquoThe reason that prose-cutors donrsquot talk about timelines iswith every new witness or newtranche of evidence you uncover itcould lead to additional witnesses ad-ditional leadsrdquo

EAGLE PASS Texas ndash A golf cartmeandered in the fairway on a mild andsunny afternoon

Birds chirped at the breeze as thegolfers made their way through theholes Wednesday at the Eagle PassMunicipal Golf Course

As golfers played along the banks ofthe Rio Grande pickups were posi-tioned behind them to protect the USborder

A caravan of about 1800 migrantsabout 80 percent from Honduras con-sisting of men women and children ar-rived Monday in the Mexico city of Pie-dras Negras Coahuila directly on theother side of the border from Eagle Pass

ldquoNormally you see the Border Patrolbut itrsquos usually peaceful You never seetroopers soldiers and patrols on horsesand the patrol on the other side of theriverrdquo said Eagle Pass resident Gus Ji-menez

Jimenez plays about twice a week atthe golf course situated between thecityrsquos two international bridges

ldquoOccasionally yoursquoll see people try tocross but it doesnrsquot happen often andBorder Patrol is hererdquo he said

To combat the influx of migrants theDepartment of Homeland Security andCustoms and Border Protection has in-creased security while the Port of Entryis continuing to process traffic at theborder

ldquoWe continue to facilitate trade andtravel with as busy as we are itrsquos alwaysin the front of our minds to process carsprocess trucks and process trains intothe United Statesrdquo said Paul Del Rincondirector of Eagle Pass Port of Entry

Rincon said they are working withmultiple agencies and with Mexican of-ficials to ensure the facilitation of tradeand travel Rincon said they are well

prepared for an arrival of a caravan toinclude operational readiness exercisesand stationing Border Patrol along theriver

About 500 Texas state troopers 50reserve deputies from across the stateand 250 active duty military were dis-patched to the area

ldquoAt this time the system is at total ca-pacity at all points of the process andthe status quo is not sustainable and thesituation demands action at a variety offrontsrdquo Rincon said

Rincon asked asylum seekers to bepatient and follow the process He saidinterviews take two to three hours andthe agency processes about 16 people aday at a port

ldquoWe have never seen anything likethis We have seen family groups tryingto come but never anything organized

like thisrdquo said Maverick County SheriffTom Schmerber

Schmerber said he is preparing hisdeputies and they are ready to assistBorder Patrol but his main objective isto continue operations in the countythatrsquos home to Eagle Pass and just over58200 people

ldquoWe still have to patrol the localareas because crime doesnrsquot stoprdquo hesaid

Schmerber visited the migrants inMexico and most of them are trying tocome through Eagle Pass to go north ndashas far north as Minnesota They donrsquotwant to wait in Mexico and seemed im-patient of a process that might take sixmonths Schmerber said

Families seeking asylum will proba-bly follow the process Schmerber saidbut if criminals get involved and orga-nize people to rush the gates they canget through the border

ldquoWhoever we donrsquot catch here will goon to San Antonio or Houston We arethe front linesrdquo he said

Jimenez and his golf partner RudyMuniz werenrsquot worried and felt safecontinuing their weekly tee time ritualHalf the members of the golf course arefrom Piedras Negras he said

ldquoWe go there for shopping they comehere to play and we have good relation-ship with themrdquo Jimenez said

A black steel fence stands at the oth-er edge of the golf course The fence hasseveral gates that are patrolled and canbe locked as necessary

Schmerber said he and many othercounty sheriffs along the border preferto have money rather than a wall

ldquoThe wall will take years to build andthe problem is right nowrdquo he said ldquoWeneed the money to buy technology tohire deputies to deal with things rightawayrdquo

The golfers packed up their clubs asthe sun began its descent People con-tinued to travel across the internationalbridges ndash some returning from spendingthe day shopping or with their families ndashand another day turned to dusk on theTexas-Mexico border

In response to deaths in Floridarsquoscosmetic surgery centers a top statelawmaker proposed legislation thatwould allow the state to punish clinicsfor the first time and ban troubled doc-tors from working in the facilities

State regulators could impose finesand shut down clinics that have oper-ated for decades with virtually no reg-ulatory oversight while patients wereleft with critical injuries

The bill filed Tuesday came days af-ter an investigation byUSA TODAY and the Na-ples Daily News showedeight women died afterprocedures in the sameMiami-area plastic sur-gery business wheredoctors with little spe-cialized training per-formed up to eight sur-geries a day in what patient advocatescalled a factory assembly line

Despite the deaths and injuries ndashincluding two women hospitalized af-ter their intestines were perforated ndashthe state allowed the facilities to keepoperating

ldquoItrsquos a national problem becauseyoursquove got people from all over thecountry (coming to Florida) under theassumption that they will be saferdquosaid state Sen Anitere Flores R-Mi-ami the chamberrsquos deputy majorityleader who sponsors the bill

Flores whose district includes theplastic-surgery business investigatedby USA TODAY said the fatal surgeriesare ldquoheartbreaking cases of peoplewith young families and the last thingthey expected was to come here anddierdquo

The investigation found Jolie Plas-tic Surgery is among more than a doz-en high-volume clinics in Floridaowned by investors and driven by dis-count prices and social-media adver-

tising that draw thousands of womeneach year from across the country

The state health department said ithas never been able to close the facilitieswhen patients die or are injured but theproposal would give the state the powerto revoke a clinicrsquos registration

The bill would require that only doc-tors could own the facilities and if aclinic was shut down the physician whoowned the center would not be able torun another for at least five years

Patients flock to Miami-area facili-ties for one of the fastest-growing ndash andmost dangerous ndash procedures in plasticsurgery the Brazilian butt lift

Popularized in Miami the butt liftshave resulted in numerous deaths in thepast five years in Florida includingsome of the fatalities examined by USATODAY

Four of the women undergoing theprocedure died after their doctors mis-takenly injected body fat deep into theirmuscles and tore veins creating deadlyembolisms that killed them in minutesrecords and interviews show

ldquoSome of these procedures didnrsquot ex-ist even a few years ago and people aredying from itrdquo said Flores said

Her bill proposes banning doctorsfrom owning clinics or even working inthe facilities if the doctor was disci-plined by the medical board in the previ-ous five years In addition to revoking li-censes the proposal would allow thestate to suspend a clinic from operatingfor up to two years and impose fines ofup to $10000 if a doctor was caughtrunning an unregistered clinic

Bill offers penaltiesfor deadly cosmeticsurgery facilities


BY KEVIN McDONOUGHHulu begins streaming

ldquoPEN15rdquo a comedy about 13-year-old girls with a title meant to appeal to the ldquowitrdquo of adolescent boys

Actresses Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle are both 31 but insist on playing adolescent versions of themselves in a comedy about middle school featuring a cast of real tweens

Both affect the kind of zany gal-friendship vibe from ldquoBroad Cityrdquo But the middle school situations and jokes have an obvious shooting-fish-in-a-barrel quality thatrsquos more smug than satirical

The choice to surround themselves with real minors while making contrived jokes about sex porn and masturbation is more than a little creepy

bull Jessica Williams and Phoebe Robinson return for a four-episode second season of their comedy showcase ldquoTwo Dope Queensrdquo (11 pm HBO TV-MA) based on their NPR podcast

Williams and Robinson chat about their clothes hair accessories and shopping habits like two old friends Their rapport and repartee are comfortable to a fault They amuse each other as if little else matters

bull Of all the media trends that Irsquod like to club to death with a ball-peen hammer the habit of recycling old TV and movie franchises tops the list Wersquore told that Hollywood loves remakes because itrsquos easier to market a familiar franchise

Often our Entertainment Overlords churn out projects based on shows and movies from a far-gone era In 2015 director Guy Ritchie regurgitated ldquoThe Man From UNCLErdquo (830 pm BBC America TV-14) starring Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer You have to be at least approaching 60 to have watched the original James Bond-inspired TV series which aired around the same time as ldquoMission Impossiblerdquo That concept was rebooted way back in the 1990s and has since become more associated with Tom Cruise than Peter Graves We are as far away in time (23

years) from the original 1996 ldquoMission Impossiblerdquo as it was from the TV show that wrapped up in 1973

In contrast ldquoUNCLErdquo had been sitting on a shelf for 50 years when the film debuted to modest audiences barely recouping its budget

In contrast the 2016 spy comedy ldquoCentral Intelligencerdquo (9 pm TNT TV-14) was a summer hit grossing in excess of $200 million and more than four times its budget The stars Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson pretty much explained the filmrsquos appeal Critics considered its script and story its weakest element But nobody said it wasnrsquot ldquooriginalrdquo or accused it of being based on an old show from 1966

So tell me how and why remakes make sense

BY KEVIN McDONOUGHHow often does a

documentary about public television become a theatrical hit A profile of Fred Rogers the popular 2018 film ldquoWonrsquot You Be My Neighborrdquo (8 pm Saturday HBO) reveals some of the spiritual and intellectual depth and substance behind the gentle sweater-wearing television host and puppeteer

Rogers who inspired educated and consoled a generation of young children was preparing for the ministry when he discovered the power of television While he saw childrenrsquos programming as his calling and his series ldquoMister Rogersrsquo Neighborhoodrdquo as his pulpit he never preached The stop-motion childrenrsquos series ldquoDavey and Goliathrdquo spoke about God and discussed biblical elements but Rogers tweaked the script replacing ldquolove thy neighbor as thyselfrdquo with ldquowonrsquot you be my neighborrdquo

Watching this film made me reflect on how series like ldquoMister Rogersrdquo and ldquoSesame Streetrdquo invite everybody while others succeed by exclusivity

Some such shows suggest a clubhouse The price of admission to the old ldquoMickey Mouse Clubrdquo was being subjected to a bombardment of advertising for Disney movies theme parks and toys Rogers recoiled from the notion of children as easy targets for marketers

Late-night television adapted elements of a nightclub mdash the jazz band the comedy monologue repeated refrains and inside jokes mdash to create an exclusive atmosphere Viewers were invited to personally identify with Johnny Dave Jay or Conan and slip into slumber safe in the assumption that you were in on the joke(s) that others simply didnrsquot get

The rise of cable news also encouraged a form of tribal identity ldquoThe OrsquoReilly Factorrdquo offered its fans a chance to enter the ldquoNo Spin Zonerdquo a familiar safe space where viewersrsquo beliefs were buttressed Often Rachel Maddowrsquos MSNBC show has had the air of an exclusive classroom where she instructs her doting students in the manner of Miss Jean Brodie

Glenn Beck and Alex Jones fringe masters of disinformation and cockamamie cabals project a tinfoil-hat outsider vibe offering ldquotruthsrdquo that set one apart from mere ldquosheeplerdquo

As longtime friends journalists and biographers interviewed here recall Margaret was a rebel only up to a point She might have partied with Mick Jagger but she still insisted on being called Her Majesty a duality that struck some as spoiled and insufferable

Wallace the braVe

DEAR ABBY mdash Something happened at work that has me traumatized I work at a retirement house for a convent The nuns are sweet kind and easy to get along

with But last week while I was using the bathroom a nun decided to be a Peeping Tom while I was on the toilet She laughed at me in a taunting manner saying ldquoI can see yourdquo I screamed at her to stop but she just kept looking and laughing at me When she finally left I was in shock

I reported the nun to my supervisor as soon as I could but later in the day I was still so humiliated and upset that I ended up having an anxiety attack I canrsquot stop thinking about it It left me feeling disgusted with the nun and with myself

I want to report her to the police but I donrsquot want drama at work This is my only source of income I need my job in order to provide for my kids but I no longer feel comfortable working in a place where there are perverted nuns who donrsquot respect peoplersquos privacy

What do I do Irsquom confused and angry spending my days in my home crying and contemplating whether to file a police report Please give me some advice

Traumatized in the East

DEAR TRAUMATIZED mdash I hope you realize that the behavior the retired nun exhibited is that of a 4-year-old She may suffer from dementia While the woman may have had good judgment in her younger years clearly she does not now It may be the reason she is living in that retirement community

Irsquom curious about how your supervisor reacted when you told her what happened If you cannot move beyond the trauma talk to the director of the home and ask for counseling so you can regain some perspective Filing a police report may not be the way to go Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren also known as Jeanne Phillips and was founded by her mother Pauline Phillips Contact Dear Abby at wwwDearAbbycom or PO Box 69440 Los Angeles CA 90069

Columbia City Ballet to perform in Sumter

BY THE SOUTH CAROLINA HISTORICAL SOCIETY

On Feb 13 1903 the state Legislature passed a resolu-tion introduced by Richland County Sen JQ Marshall stipulating that no child under 10 years old could be employed in a factory mine or mill

The bill also mandated that over the next two years the age would increase so that by 1905 it would be illegal to em-ploy anyone 12 or under in those occupations At the time the bill passed children made up more than one-fourth of the textile work force

It took nearly 20 years to ob-tain this legislation Efforts to abolish child labor in South Carolina were launched in 1884 and bills were intro-duced in 1887 and again in 1889 These efforts were de-

feated by those who saw the employment of children as a family matter and one that kept youngsters occupied and out of trouble Industrialists argued the lack of child labor would threaten the statersquos eco-nomic progress

As the progressive move-ment gained steam attention was focused on both child labor and education Surveys indicated that more than half of the children employed in mills were illiterate Textile mills encouraged the employ-ment of entire families and wages were so low that par-ents depended on the addi-tional wages of their children Children as young as 5 years old frequently worked as spin-ners In this role they watched rotating bobbins for breaks in the cotton thread Children often worked 10 to 12

hours six days a week The lack of sunlight and ventila-tion caused health problems and injuries

Though the 1903 legislation marked progress the law was not routinely enforced One factory overseer noted the names of underage workers were simply deleted in compa-ny records They continued to work and another family

member was listed as the re-cipient of their wages In ad-dition only a signature (as opposed to documentation such as a birth certificate) was required to verify the age of a child Orphans could be employed at any age by the mills and domestic and agricultural workers were exempt from the law

After World War I the use

of child labor dwindled More sophisticated machin-ery required adult strength skill and experience Throughout the 1930s and 40s more women entered the work force and wages gradually increased These trends along with compulso-ry education caused a re-duction in the employment of children

COURTESY OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HISTORICAL SOCIETYChildren who worked in agriculture were exempt from the statersquos early child labor laws The children pic-tured here worked at the Pinehurst Tea Plantation in Summerville

This month in SC history

Statersquos 1st child labor law passed February 1903

COLUMBIA (AP) mdash Senate lawmakers say legislative proposals for reforming South Carolinas prisons are urgent and re-quire more work and public input

Members of the Senate Corrections and Penology Committee met Thursday to dis-cuss prison reform bills but said they need more time before presenting the measures to the full Senate

One of the proposals that occupied the majority of the lawmakers discussions would allow early release and community supervision for inmates convicted of crimes not eligible for parole who have completed 65 percent of their sentences and do not have disciplinary problems

Committee Chairman Sen Shane Martin said the bill would probably be his commit-tees most important legislation this year and said theres too much at risk to move quickly The Spartanburg lawmaker said hes received several complaints from the public and some solicitors concerned about which crimes are eligible for reduced time but said the overall intention of the bill is good

I think our interest is to put our heads together to get it right Martin said Its not normal for us to take testimony on full committee but theres a lot at stake

Author of the legislation Democratic Sen Karl Allen said the bill is intended to provide incentives for inmates by giving them a method to earn their way out as

well as address the understaffing problems in state correctional facilities by reducing the population of inmates

Theres no sense in keeping them there for those years when we can use that money to attract correctional officers and make it safe for everybody so its a win-win said Allen Just about every lawsuit and every death that comes to our atten-tion indicates that understaffing is a con-tributing factor so the state of South Caro-lina must act and act now

The Greenville lawmaker said his goal is to prepare rehabilitating inmates to be con-tributing members of society instead of warehousing them in understaffed pris-ons Co-founder of Hearts for Inmates Erica Felder has attended several hearings addressing prison reform and said she sup-ports legislation that provides hope for in-mates because it gives them something to work toward

Everyone is impacted by incarceration Felder said This is something that is not just going to benefit the inmates but some-thing the state will benefit from

Members of the General Assembly have made a concerted effort to address growing problems in the state prison system more so after the Lee Correctional Institute riot last year that left seven inmates dead and 22 injured in what officials said started over gang territory money and contra-band

Lawmakers Prison bills need work
