Red Devils fall to first place Bluffton
The Wade Hampton Red Devils lost their final regular season home game of the season as the team battled region leader Bluffton High School at home Nov. 11. Although the game was close during the first half, Bluffton extended upon their slight first half lead during the third quarter and left Varnville with a 32-19 win.
The Red Devils struggled to capitalize on several early penalties by Bluffton and also felt the sting of errant passes which ended in interceptions and points for Bluffton when it counted in the second half.

PHA falls to AJ 34-0 on Senior Night
On Senior Night, Patrick Henry had to face a team in Andrew Jackson that they had not played since early 2013 due to the vagaries of SCISA scheduling. PHA had won 33 regular season games in that stretch. AJ came into Cone Field on a 23-game winning streak as defending state champions. The two old foes would renew their rivalry with the region championship and playoff seeding on the line.
"This is the best team in SCISA 8-man," Coach Mike McCoy had said repeatedly heading into the game. "They are big, athletic, and fast. I'm not sure we can stop them." He was prophetic. AJ had only faced one real test all year, a 24-12 win at Division I power Holly Hill.
It was an epic battle, and though it is difficult to say this about a 34-0 loss, PHA played the Confederates pretty evenly. The major difference was that the Patriot defense could not get off the field. Both teams had six possessions in the game, but AJ ran 54 plays to the Patriots' 37. AJ scored on every possession, except their last, and PHA could not score on any of their six possessions. All of the Patriot drives finished in Confederate territory, but they couldn't make it across the goal line against the ferocious AJ defense.
"You know we didn't play badly tonight, but we just seemed outmanned all night," said McCoy. "There were just better than us."
AJ's Coach Mike Hall agreed. "I think y'all played better against us than anybody all season. You just always seemed one yard or one play short. That was a real battle tonight."
McCoy added, "It was good to have Tyler Morehead back after a long layoff due to injury, and great to have Alex Jones back at full strength. Those two seniors can make a difference."
Another senior who made difference was tailback Mitchell Hanna, who rushed for 54 yards on the night, allowing him to eclipse 1,000 yards rushing for the season. Senior Gill Griner finished the regular season with 578 yards. Unfortunately, AJ was able to shut down the normally potent Patriot running game.
Defensively, Griner made 15 tackles on the night, and junior Batten Bostick had 12 tackles and an interception to stop a two-point conversion. Senior Morehead, in his return to action, had six tackles. Senior Aaron Powell had three tackles, as did fellow senior Jones. Senior Reeves Altman, a stalwart on the offensive and defensive line, played all 91 plays last night.
Patrick Henry finished the regular season with a 5-3 record and 1-1 in region play. Andrew Jackson moves to 9-0, 2-0 in region. They have now won 24 consecutive games. AJ will host Laurens Academy Friday night in the first round of the playoffs. Patrick Henry will host Jefferson Davis. Kickoff is at 7:30 Friday night.

Palmetto Electric surprises teachers
Palmetto Electric Trust and Palmetto Electric Cooperative awarded $45,320 to winning teachers and their team members during the 13th annual Bright Ideas Grant program. The prize team visited classrooms and awarded grants on Oct. 31, Nov. 1 and Nov. 2.
Earlier this year, teachers from southern Beaufort, Jasper and Hampton counties submitted proposals for innovative classroom projects. A total of 87 grant applications, totaling over $74,205, were received. A total of 16 teachers from Hampton County Schools received grant funding after they submitted written requests for project funding.
"This year, we have a record number of grants to award; 62 will receive funds to benefit more than 9,500 students in our service area," said Berl Davis, president and CEO of Palmetto Electric Cooperative.
The Cooperatives Bright Ideas prize team surprised the winning teachers and presented the money the oversized checks to the teachers in their classrooms and on school playgrounds. Representatives from the Cooperative and the Trust greeted teachers with balloons and gift bags, as well.
"One of our principals is supporting community," said Tray Hunter, of Palmetto Electric. "Being part of the community, we all live here, it's our children in these schools, it's our spouses that are teaching and we are able to give back to the community that we live in."
"We are a family. We work here and we live here," said Missy Santorum, of Palmetto Electric. "Education is a big part of what we support with the fund."
Later this month, the Cooperative will host a celebratory luncheon at Palmetto Electric's New River facility to honor the teachers and their administrators.
"It's wonderful…the children are so appreciative, and the teachers are so appreciative. The budgets are tight across the board, whether it is a private school or a public school. These funds are able to help them do those innovative projects that they want to do, involve their children and help them [children] succeed in life," said Hunter.
Background on Bright Ideas
The Bright Ideas grant program was created in 2004 as a way to benefit local school teachers in grades K-12. These grants give teachers the money required to put their innovative classroom projects into action. Since the program's inception, area teachers have received over $420,699 in grant funds.
Palmetto Electric Trust is supported by funds from Operation Round Up, a program in which the Cooperative's members round their electric bill up to the nearest whole dollar. The program is a "true example of how small change…changes lives." Additional funding was provided by Palmetto Electric's Million Dollar Hole-In-One Shootout and Wire (Women Involved in Rural Electrification) chapters.
Winning teachers
Area winners included Rebecca Evans, of Fennell Elementary; Robbie White, of Fennell Elementary; Kelly Shipes, of Varnville Elementary; Dawn Smith, of Varnville Elementary; Robin Taylor; of Varnville Elementary; Donna Griner, of North District Middle School; Sharon Robertson, of Hampton Elementary; Carolyn Robinson, of Hampton Elementary; Terri Stansfield, of Hampton Elementary; Tonya Robinson, of Ben Hazel Primary; Diane Stanley, of Ben Hazel Primary; Ryan Brunson, of Brunson Elementary; Susan Mikell, of Patrick Henry Academy; Harriet Smith, of Patrick Henry Academy; Diann Tuten, of Patrick Henry Academy and Judy Youmans-Long, of Patrick Henry Academy.
Ben Hazel boys overcome obstacles
A group of 15 lovable, and at times rambunctious, third grade boys have excelled scholastically while participating in an alternative classroom setting at Ben Hazel Primary known as the "Gentleman's Cohort of Cadets." The young boys are taught discipline and leadership skills with help from two compassionate educators and high school students enrolled in the NJROTC program at Wade Hampton High School.
Many of the students who have been selected by teachers to participate in the NJROTC program at Ben Hazel have overcome much more difficult circumstances than many adults, so the fact that the boys easily tame WHHS's NJROTC obstacle course is in no way shocking. More surprising than the boy's tenacity on the obstacle course is the compassion and camaraderie they display for their fellow classmates.
According to Diane Stanley, the boys' teacher and mentor, the program not only teaches the children control and focus, but also instills within them a sense of self-confidence, which has led to improved test scores and classroom behavior.
Two days a week, throughout the school year, the boys take a bus ride to the WHHS and participate in physical fitness training with WHHS NJROTC students. Soon, the GCC will also partake in community service projects, just like their older role models.
"It is a class where they are up and moving all the time, said Stanley. She went on to say after the first time attending the WHHS obstacle course, many of the students described how good it made them feel to accomplish a difficult task.
"Another thing that we do with our program is that we have men that come in and give their testimony about their careers and how they got to where they are now," Stanley went on to say of the GCC. "We learned about 'good mistakes'…it's a good mistake if you learn from it."
It was Stanley's passion and enthusiasm which drew classroom volunteer Tammy Kinard to devote her time working with Stanley and the GCC for no fee. Kinard thanked God for allowing her to be fortunate enough to devote her full attention to bettering the lives of the energetic young men.
"This class is very special. It just needs another set of hands, another set of eyes, another set of ears," Kinard said with a smile. "I do a lot of the intervention work and I pull them [out of class] in small groups and work with them. I love them, so yes I volunteer. They love me and I love them, it was just meant to be."
According to WHHS NJROTC Commander William Murtaugh and Senior Chief John Stone, both of the age groups benefit from the opportunity to interact with each other. The young boys look up to the older students and the high school NJROTC students are able to use the leadership skills they have learned in their program in practical situations. The high school students encourage and instruct the third graders as they take to obstacle course or stretch their legs during laps around the Red Devil track.
"My hats off to her [Stanley] for striking out and trying to do something and be innovative like that. I'll support her anyway I can," said Murtaugh. "They are really good people," he said of both Stanley and Kinnard.
"A big part of ROTC is that giving back and service," Murtaugh stated. As for the GCC boys, the commander spoke highly of the junior cadets. "They really look up to the older kids and, of course, I'm loud," he said light heartedly of his unwavering presence while instructing the boys during P.T.
"The Gentlemen's Cohort of Cadets has been a wonderful addition to Ben Hazel Primary," said Ben Hazel Primary Principal Greg Ackerman. "Diane Stanley has put all of her efforts in teaching our boys how to handle numerous situations in a more mature manner. The teamwork activities the boys are involved in help them look out for each other and support one another. Commander Murtaugh and his NJROTC Cadets have had an enormous impact on our guys. Hopefully, Ben Hazel can continue this gender-based program for years to come."
Not only do educators and NJROTC officials see benefits from the GCC boys working with older high school students, so too do many of the high school cadets.
"It was a new thing for us," said NJROTC Cadet Commanding Officer senior Adonia Riley, 17. "We never actually worked with younger kids before. I really liked it. We try to teach them discipline and how to stand still, listen and pay attention."
Riley has been involved in the NJROTC program for four years and highly enjoys the experience. She also feels that she may likely join the United States Navy as an officer in the future. She went on to thank WHHS Principal Bonnie Wilson, Commander Murtaugh and Chief Stone, as well as all involved in the GCC program, for allowing the her and her cadets to work with the GCC boys.
Like the older students, the younger boys all seem to enjoy their alternative classroom and twice-per-week physical fitness workouts.
"I like that it is military style," said Slayton Green, 8. "I have thought about joining the military because my dad was in the Army and my mom was in the ROTC." He went on to say that he enjoys going to WHHS and working with the older students, as well as the opportunity to take a leadership role within his group.
"They are training us to be good citizens," Green said proudly. Jadien Rhodes, 9, says that he likes the GCC program. "I like when we do the obstacle course and the bars."
"I like going to Wade Hampton and doing P.T." said Trevon Dickerson, 9. "We support everyone and we show everyone how they are supposed to be doing." Dickerson, a third grader, often spends 30 minutes tutoring and mentoring a specific second grade student. He said he very much enjoys mentoring younger students.
With regards to community service programs, the GCC is looking for Hampton County residents who need post-hurricane debris removed from their property. Please contact Ben Hazel with any inquiries and remember the tasks must be suitable for third grade students.
District 1 approves Education Foundation
The Hampton District One Board of Trustees has approved an Education Foundation for the purpose of raising funds to help students in Hampton District One. The fund will be managed from the Central Office with a newly formed committee overseeing the awarding payment and record keeping for the Foundation.
Many students have needs that are "special". The funds can be used to help students with these special circumstances. Funds may be used to help students attend state and national conventions, help students with clothing who have lost a home in a fire, and other needs as identified by school guidance counselors, principals, and teachers.
Donations are income tax deductible. Anyone wishing to contribute can make their check to Hampton One Education Foundation and drop off or mail to Hampton School District One, Attn: Ronald Wilcox, PO Box 177, Hampton, SC 29924
District I to offer dual enrollment
- Fennell Elementary kindergarden students
- Fennell Elementary second grade students
The Hampton District I School Board and Superintendent Dr. Ronald Wilcox discussed hurricane damage, new hires within the district and voted to move forward with a partnership with Technical College of the Lowcountry to offer dual-enrollment college level courses at Wade Hampton High School during a Monday, Oct. 24, meeting held at Fennell Elementary School in Yemassee.
TCL Dual Enrollment
Students enrolled at Wade Hampton High School will soon have an opportunity to earn college credits while still attending high school. The District 1 Board of Trustees heard from Dr. Richard Gough, President of TCL, as well as Mary Lee Carns, Vice President for Institutional Advancement and External Relations and Executive Director for TCL Foundation, regarding the proposed program. The district will be required to purchase the textbooks for the courses, but after the purchase of books, there will be minimal monetary costs associated with WHHS's participation in the program.
The board authorized Superintendent Wilcox to develop a committee to work out the details of the program. The superintendent stated he wanted WHHS Principal Bonnie Wilson and Career and Technology Director Betty Woodward to become members of the committee.
"We will be considering a school-within-a-school model," said Wilcox, "and we will rely heavily on their input as we develop academic and vocational associate degree tracks."
Students can begin the dual enrollment courses as early as 9th grade. He added, "It is wonderful that a child can take a math class in high school and get both high school and college credit for it."
Any course taken in the program will count as credit toward a four-year college degree since the courses are recognized by numerous area colleges and universities. District 1 committee meetings will begin soon to begin the process of implementing the college level coursework at WHHS in the fall.
"The Board of Trustees is to be commended," Wilcox said. "They asked me to develop an Early College Program when I first came here. This program will help students to have more job opportunities and save parents thousands of dollars in tuition costs since they can get college credits while in high school."
Children to be offered dental care
As well as partnering with TCL to offer students the opportunity to possibly graduate with both a high school diploma and a two-year Associates Degree, the board voted to allow Smiles for a Lifetime to begin offering free dental care to district students.
Georgia Fanuliner, of Smiles for a Lifetime, gave a presentation to the board. Her organization provides students who may not regularly attend a dentist the opportunity to see a dental care specialist during regular school hours. The children's parents sign a permission slip at the beginning of the school year and then are not required to take off work or make special arrangements to bring their child to a dentist.
According to Fanuliner, the Smiles for a Lifetime program has been highly successful in the Allendale area and children there benefit greatly from regular dental examinations and subsequent follow-up procedures.
The board approved Wilcox to form a committee to develop a plan to partner with Smiles For a Lifetime, which he will present to board members at a later date.
District I Board pursues Cosmetology/Barbering
The Hampton 1 Board is also currently working in collaboration with TCL to provide a new vocational course in Cosmetology and Barbering. The program will likely be housed at the TCL campus in Hampton. School officials will be meeting with TCL staff to develop the program. Twenty students are needed to get the program underway. This will be the third vocational program started this year. The board authorized Fire Fighting and Auto Mechanics programs earlier this year, recognizing that students will need job skills upon graduation from high school.
New hires
Several new employees were officially hired by the district during Monday's meeting. The board accepted the recommendation of Kakela Robinson and officially hired Denise Mole as a full-time bus driver.
Also during the meeting, the board approved the recommendation of Wilcox and officially hired Larry Orr as a part-time maintenance assistant for the district.
Unruly children may lose trip money
WHHS Principal Bonnie Wilson spoke to the board and audience members and described her sentiments on children misbehaving prior to, or during, field trips. "If you can't behave while you are at Wade Hampton High School, we are not taking you somewhere else to misbehave," said Wilson.
She was asked whether students who had previously paid to attend a field trip and then got in trouble at school would not be permitted to attend the field trip and all money they had paid would not be refunded. The money would be used to help fund the trip's associated costs. The money will be put towards travel costs and other various expenses accrued by the school.
Additional District I votes:
- The board voted to allow a U.S. History class to take a four-day field trip to Washington, D.C., on March 22-26, 2017.
- The board voted to allow WHHS seniors to attend the "Grad Bash" at Universal Studios, in Orlando, FL. The trip will take place April 5-7, 2017.
- Approved the updated Organizational Chart with the addition of adding the Hampton School District I Board of Trustees to the beginning of the chart.
- Approved an overnight field trip for the North District Beta Club. The group will travel to Myrtle Beach, S.C., for the S.C. Junior Beta Convention Jan. 12-12, 2017.
- Approved for Wilcox to purchase two additional power generators for the district ($549 each), with two more to be purchased near the end of the year if sufficient funds are available. At that point, all schools within the district will have working generators in case of emergencies.
- Approved the purchase of the Owens' House. Payments will be made in two installments of $11,500 with an additional $7,000 being gifted to the district.

Estill votes to bring MLK Parade back for second year
The Town of Estill announced during a recent town council meeting they will again host this year's Martin Luther King, Jr. parade after last year's event was deemed a major success by members of the committee responsible for organizing the parade and associated festivities.
Town council voted unanimously to allow the MLK Sterling Committee to host the event and thanked them for bringing the parade and ceremonies back to Estill for a second year.
Hurricane damage
Hurricane Matthew left countless trees and power lines on the ground in Estill, which will become a costly cleanup for the town. Although hopes are still high Federal funding will be provided for debris removal, the town must act quickly to clean debris and fix damage caused by the storm. The town's public works supervisor asked council to rent a backhoe and a dump truck to help expedite the cleanup of the town.
"Although these items are not in the budget, it is up to us to get it done for the citizens [of Estill]," said Mayor Anderson Taylor.
The rental of a backhoe for a one month time period will cost the town $2,400 per month, or $800 per week. The public works department is in need of the backhoe because the backhoe owned by the town is currently broken and unusable, leaving no other pieces of equipment for them to use.
Consultant update
Bob Freeman, of Alliance Consulting Engineers, gave council an update regarding the Liberty Ave. North project, as well as informing council the town would again be eligible to apply for Community Development Block Grant funding in April.
The opportunity to receive CBDG grants will allow the town to fund the future Water System Looping Project, which town officials and the Alliance Consulting Group hope will begin in 2017. Council voted unanimously to move forward with the application process to receive CBDG grant funding for the project.
As for the Liberty Ave. N. Project, the project is still on track and construction is set to begin towards the end of Oct. or the first of Nov. Freeman also stated that the town's construction of a waste water treatment plant is on schedule and the bidding process for project is slated to begin in Jan.
PD members honored
As well as announcing the well organized and well-liked parade will be held in Estill again, council also officially honored three Estill Police Department employees with plaques for their outstanding service. The three kind-hearted EPD members were honored previously by the town, but were awarded their official plaques during Monday's meeting.

Local author dedicates book to animal advocate
VARNVILLE—Hampton County Animal Shelter Manager Amanda "Mandy" Strickland doesn't like attention or accolades, but when you make such a huge difference for animals and pet lovers around the Lowcountry, such praise can't be avoided.
Her latest shining moment? On Saturday, local author and pet lover Ellen D. Freeman announced that she had dedicated her second book, Duke (Plus One), to Strickland. Freeman made the announcement during Saturday's HCAS Yard Sale Fundraiser, much to the surprise of Strickland.
Here is what Freeman wrote on the dedication page of Duke (Plus One):
"Because Duke was a pound puppy, it seems appropriate that his book should be dedicated to one who works so diligently and with such devotion to find forever homes for every possible one of God's creatures that comes into her care: AMANDA EMBLER STRICKLAND
"Amanda, better known locally as Mandy, manager of The Hampton County Animal Shelter in Varnville, S. C., along with her very supportive husband, Stacy, and other family members, Shelter Attendant Angie Cook, and a host of dedicated volunteers, goes beyond the call of duty to make HCAS the best that it can be for any and all homeless animals.
"Every animal that comes into HCAS is given a name and is cared for with great compassion, and Mandy uses every available source to attempt to place every possible animal in a foster or a permanent home. The love and devoted care that she gives to these homeless ones is both remarkable and admirable. Congratulations, Mandy, for a job well done, and may God continue to richly bless you in your life and in your work. If they could, the animals would all join us in saying, 'Thank you for all that you do! We love you!'"
Freeman, a retired elementary school teacher, writes books about the animals that have touched her life and stolen her heart. Duke (Plus One) is her second publication. Her original work, which was published last year, is titled Just George. Duke (Plus One) is available at all online book stores, and a book signing has been scheduled for 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Nov. 19 at the Hampton United Methodist Church Social Hall.
This is not the first such honor for Strickland. In 2016, she was awarded the Hampton County Chamber of Commerce Community Service Award for her work in saving animals.
After volunteering countess hours to help animals on her own for years, she was hired in October of 2013 as the manager of the Hampton County Animal Shelter.
Since taking over the day-to-day management of the local animal shelter, Strickland has worked tirelessly to get record numbers of animals adopted or fostered and save record numbers of would-be pets from euthanasia. Because of Strickland's reputation as a true animal lover who also has a heart for people, many area animal rights groups and local donors have now stepped forward eagerly to partner with and support the Hampton County Animal Shelter.
When not working with animals, or volunteering her time with several other groups that work to provide assistance to animals, Strickland enjoys spending time with her family, which includes her husband, Stacy, two sons, Zach and Daniel, and a new grandchild, Grayson. She also enjoys riding motorcycles with her husband, catching up on much-needed relaxation time and traveling to scenic locales like New Orleans.

Beware of Fake IRS Tax Bill Notices Related to Affordable Care Act
The Internal Revenue Service and its Security Summit partners are warning taxpayers and tax professionals of fake IRS tax bills related to the Affordable Care Act. The IRS has received numerous reports of scammers sending a fraudulent version of a notice- labeled CP2000 - for tax year 2015.
"Anybody with marketplace health insurance can call us if they're worried. It doesn't cost anything for people to call or meet with an enrollment assister. We're not tax professionals, but we can help consumers figure out if an e-mail or letter is a scam or not," says Shelli Quenga, Palmetto Project's Director of Programs.
This scam may arrive by email, as an attachment, or by mail. It has many signs of being a fake:
The CP2000 notices appear to be issued from an Austin, Texas, address;
The letter says the issue is related to the Affordable Care Act and requests information regarding 2014 coverage;
The payment voucher lists the letter number as 105C;
Requests checks made out to I.R.S. and sent to the "Austin Processing Center" at a post office box.
An authentic CP2000 notice is used when income reported from third-party sources such as an employer does not match the income reported on the tax return. Unlike the fake, it provides extensive instructions to taxpayers about what to do if they agree or disagree that additional tax is owed. A real notice requests that checks be made out to "United States Treasury." The IRS does not initiate unsolicited email contact or contact by social media.
IRS impersonation scams take many forms: threatening phone calls, phishing emails and demanding letters. Learn more at Reporting Phishing and Online Scams. Taxpayers
and tax professionals can learn more about increasing their security and becoming familiar with various tax-related scams at Taxes. Security. Together. or Protect Your Clients; Protect Yourself.

Hurricane recovery is fertile ground for fraud and scam artists
COLUMBIA, S.C. (Friday, Oct. 21) – State and federal recovery officials encourage South Carolina residents to watch for and report any suspicious activity or potential fraud from scam artists, identity thieves and other criminals who may try to prey on survivors vulnerable due to Hurricane Matthew and the resultant storms and flooding.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency encourages survivors to be especially vigilant for these common post-disaster fraud practices:
- Fraudulent building contractors. When hiring a contractor:
- Use licensed local contractors backed by reliable references.
- Demand that contractors carry general liability insurance and workers' compensation.
- Don't pay more than half the costs of repairs upfront.
- Survivors will be asked to provide their Social Security number and banking information only when registering for FEMA assistance. They should never give this information to contractors or to other individuals claiming to be from FEMA and who do not have proper FEMA photo identification.
FEMA does not endorse any commercial businesses, products or services.
- Phony housing inspectors: Homeowners and registered FEMA applicants may be vulnerable to
phony housing inspectors claiming to represent FEMA or the U.S. Small Business Administration.
- Ask to see the inspector's identification badge. A FEMA or SBA shirt or jacket is not proof of someone's affiliation with the government. Federal employees and contracted housing inspectors carry official photo identification.
- Ask the inspector to recite your nine-digit FEMA application number. If he's legitimate, he will know it. FEMA inspectors NEVER require banking or other personal information.
- The job of FEMA-contracted housing inspectors is to verify damage. Inspectors do not hire or endorse contractors to fix homes or recommend repairs. They do not determine eligibility for assistance.
Hurricane recovery is fertile ground for fraud and scam artists — Page 2
- Fake offers of state or federal aid, phony charges for services: FEMA does not charge fees of any kind, nor does it accept donations. FEMA receives its funding from the American taxpayers.
- Beware of visits, calls or e-mails — claiming to be from FEMA or the State of South Carolina — asking for an applicant's Social Security number, bank account number or other sensitive information. Avoid scam artists who promise a disaster grant and ask for cash deposits or advance payments in full.
- Federal and state workers do not solicit or accept money. FEMA and SBA staff never charge applicants for disaster assistance, inspections or help in filling out applications.
- Bogus pleas for post-disaster donations: Unscrupulous solicitors may play on the emotions of disaster survivors. Disaster aid solicitations may arrive by phone, email, letter or face-to-face visits.
- Verify legitimate solicitations by asking for the charity's exact name, street address, phone number and Web address, then phone the charity directly and confirm that the person asking for funds is an employee or volunteer.
- Do not reply to an e-mail, text or pop-up message that asks for personal or financial information.
- Do not pay donations with cash.
- Request a receipt with the charity's name, street address, phone number.
- Many legitimate organizations need donations. To find out more about donating to help hurricane survivors in South Carolina, visit yourfoundation.org/community-impact/one-sc-fund-sc-flood-relief/.
- Disaster-related price gouging: Unscrupulous businesses thrive on the desperation of survivors of disaster. South Carolina residents should be on the lookout for price gouging at gas stations, hotels and other businesses and services offering products to those whose lives have been impacted by Hurricane Matthew.
If you suspect fraud, call the FEMA Disaster Fraud Hotline at 866-720-5721. If you are the victim of a home repair scam or price gouging, call the South Carolina Department of Consumer Affairs at 844-835-5322 or visit consumer.sc.gov and click on "REPORT A SCAM."

Squabbling sisters, a surly Santa an unexpected visit from Elvis make for holiday hilarity!
Local theatre company Coastal Stage Productions, CSP, who is quickly gaining a reputation for quality short-run theatre projects, returns for the holiday season to area venues with the hilarious holiday comedy Christmas Belles, from the creators of The Dixie Swim Club.
It's Christmas-time in the small town of Fayro and the Futrelle Sisters - Frankie, Twink and Honey Raye are desperately trying to keep the Tabernacle of the Lamb's Christmas Program from spiraling into chaos. But, things are not looking too promising. Miss Geneva, the ousted director of the previous twenty-seven productions, is ruthless in her attempts to take over the show. The celebrity guest Santa Claus is passing a kidney stone. And, the entire cast is dropping like flies due to food poisoning from the Band Boosters' Pancake Supper. All hope for a successful program seems lost, even with an Elvis impersonator at the manger. But, the feuding sisters find a way to pull together in order to present a Christmas program never to be forgotten. This family friendly journey through a misadventure-filled Christmas Eve is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and real joy to your world!

Makes 4 servings
A striking-looking dish, especially with rare-cooked lamb, which makes it red, black, and green. If time allows, the mushroom flavor will be even more pronounced if the mushroom-crusted lamb sits in the refrigerator for about two hours before cooking. Any butcher; including those in supermarkets, can provide you with boned racks of lamb, although it is among the easiest boning jobs to do yourself. Serve this, if you like, with Beet Tartare or Warm Potato Salad with Caramelized Shallots and Watercress.
2 leeks, trimmed of hard green parts, split in half,
well washed and roughly chopped
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and freshly ground pepper
2 ounces black trumpet or other dried mushrooms
1 egg, beaten with a little salt and pepper
Flour for dredging
2 racks of lamb, boned
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 ounces shutake mushrooms, trimmed and cut into chunks
2 garlic cloves, lightly smashed
2 thyme sprigs
Coarse salt
1. Cook the leeks in boiling salted water until tender; about 4 minutes. Drain and transfer to a blender with the butter and salt and pepper to taste. purée and keep warm.
2. Place the dried mushrooms in a spice or coffee grinder and grind to the consistency of coffee. Place them on a plate. Beat the egg in a bowl and place the flour on a plate. Dip the lamb very lightly in the flour; shaking off the excess, then dip it in the egg, then into the mushrooms. Pat the mushrooms to adhere; you want to coat the lamb heavily. Refrigerate for up to 2 hours, if time allows. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
3. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 10-inch skillet and add the shutake mushrooms, garlic, and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are tender; about 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, place the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in an ovenproof skillet and turn the heat to medium-high. A minute later; add the lamb; cook for 2 minutes on one side, then turn the lamb and place the skillet in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes for rare meat, a little longer if you like it more done.
5. Let the lamb rest for a minute, then cut it into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Place a dollop of leek purée on each plate, top with a portion of mushrooms, then place the lamb on top. Sprinkle with a little coarse salt and serve.

Understanding the neurobiological and psychosocial factors that are associated with early drug abuse requires better knowledge of specific subtypes of adolescent drug abusers, including those who have underlying callous-unemotional traits and serious conduct disorder (CU-CD). Youth with CU-CD are on a trajectory toward psychopathic personality in adulthood and drug addiction, crime, and violent behavior. They have more severe drug use and an earlier onset than other adolescent drug abusers, and therefore may have a neurobiology and reward system that is non-selectively activated to any drugs of abuse. There may be a need for treatment and prevention strategies tailored for CU-CD youth. The Candidate proposes a five-year K01 career development plan to launch an independent research career that focuses on the CU-CD population and blending neuropsychological and personality assessments with neuroimaging to better understand the early trajectory towards drug addiction to inform treatment for this population. The training plan includes mentored experience and coursework to increase knowledge in research on drug abuse and treatment, drug craving methodology, the neurobiology of development, and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) methods. The research projects (conducted in two settings) will examine the presence of neurocognitive and affective processing abnormalities in CU-CD youth with co-morbid stimulant abuse/dependence, relative to non-CU-CD youth with stimulant abuse/dep and controls, in response to craving tasks. This application integrates the candidate's background in assessment of CU-CD in adolescents and longitudinal studies of their chronic antisociality with a mentor team experienced in neuroimaging: Drs. Jean King and Jean Frazier at the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS), and Dr. Kent Kiehl at the University of New Mexico and the Mental Illness and Neuroscience Discovery (MIND) Research Network. UMMS and the MIND have unique resources;including, a 3T magnet for human fMRI research, a craving laboratory, a large adolescent addiction treatment population and community network, and a mobile 1.5T fMRI system with access to a serious young offender population in a correctional facility.
The relevance to public health will be to better understand this problem and how to adapt treatments for CU-CD youth, including ways to increase translational research through new studies. Better understanding the neurobiological and psychosocial factors affecting CU-CD youth should help the addiction, mental health, and justice system to have both an immediate and long term effect on reducing drug addiction.

I've been using Nature's Answer tinctures for years, and oil of oregano works great. It always stops a cold in its tracks. Recently I took it in conjunction with Nature's Answer Re-Zist tincture, when I felt really bad with onset flu, and the next day, after about 3 doses, I was all well again. I recommend it to all my friends, saying that they should take it for a cold, until their poop smells of pizza!
Great Product, and Potent

"Around 90 people were killed when a Nigerian air force plane circled twice and dropped two bombs in the middle of the town of Rann," MSF said in a statement.
Oil output by Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) member- Nigeria- has fallen to a 20-year low due to a series of attacks on oil pipelines in the southern Niger Delta.
Soldiers fired on speedboats believed to be carrying Niger Delta militants preparing to strike oil
installations and killed or wounded an unknown number, army spokesman said.
The demonstrators, hailing from Biafra in eastern Nigeria, paid homage to those killed during the 1967- 1970 period while defending Biafra and lit candles in their memories.
One of every five suicide bombers deployed by Boko Haram in the past two years has been a child, usually a girl, according to the report.
Under the hashtag #bringbackourgirls, politicians, celebrities and the public globally united to demand the return of the girls who disappeared without a trace.
In 2014, 276 schoolgirls were kidnapped by Boko Haram in Chibok, Boko Haram has carried out suicide bombings often using girls.
Borno State health commissioner Haruna Mshelia said 75 bodies were brought into the hospitals, while 10 others had been buried on Sunday.
The shooting, burning and explosions from three suicide bombers continued for nearly four hours in the unprotected area.
The attack killed at least 10 people and wounded about a dozen others.

The plane was carrying 459 passengers and 14 crew members on board and had left Mauritius at 9 pm
Swaraj added that contact with the pirates has been established.
"Most of the victims were slaughtered and most of the wounded (had suffered) machete cuts," Mustapha Karimbe, a civilian helping the Nigerian military fight Boko Haram.
Other reports put the number of dead at about 20. Shiite leader Ibraheem Zakzaky and his wife Zeenah Ibrahim are in military custody, Gov Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna state told The Associated Press yesterday.

Suns' Channing Frye promises a return, next season
Channing Frye has good news: His golf game is improved.
"(It's) a lot better," he said. "Fixed my swing; fixed my hands. That's all I had to do is just fix the hands a little bit."
Frye though would much prefer his hands around a basketball; and while he does occasionally shoot jumpers on the practice court at US Airways Center, that appears to be the closest he'll get to playing the sport this season.
Only days before the start of training camp in September, the Suns announced Frye would be sidelined indefinitely for medical reasons. A routine physical revealed Frye had developed a dilated cardiomyopathy — an enlarged heart.
At the time, there was some hope the former St. Mary's High and University of Arizona star would be able to return this season after he was re-evaluated in December.
"That's zero hope now," he said.
Frye saw the doctor last week and while "everything is looking great," he said the decision was made to wait and be checked again in March to see if he receives clearance to resume basketball activity.
"I'll be back next season for sure," he said. "This season, unless I'm a freak of nature and get healthy in less than a month and maybe if we're going on a playoff run, but I would say no. You'll see me working out and being with the team in the month of March and April but other than that, probably not."
So until then, Frye will continue to enjoy the extra time with his family, cheer on his teammates from the sideline and yes, play a ton of golf.
"I'm really starting to develop certain things," he said of his game. "It's just a challenging thing for me. It's been fun. It's been awesome. For me, it's just been being able to do something other than sitting and just wish I was playing ball."

Call (888) 651-9785
The best part of this tour was the guide and mini bus driver. There was only four of us so the tour was personalized and tailored. The guide was from Cape Town and knew the city, its sights and history very well. He also accommodated our needs for drop off in the city other than the hotel pickup. It's best to take the morning tour. This for me was based on my travel schedule but it turned out to be the better time of the day because of weather patterns and city traffic.
It was an amazing trip, the guide was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions. He was able to show us many areas of interest and was great at finding us coffee when we needed it. The day was very windy so were not able to go on the cable cars but this did not take away from the great morning we had.
After several previous attempts we managed to get onto Table Mountain this time - amazing experience. Our guide for the short Cape Town tour was very knowledgeable and helpful. Excellent value for money.
Cape Town is a beautiful city. Cruise ship docked in the city. Wonderful views from the top of Table Mountain and value for money. Great food and wine cheap as chips.
Elaine our tour guide was a blast, very funny and entertaining. Tape Mountain was breathtaking
highly recommended and guide was excellent.
Excellent!! We had a very beautiful and clear day, the view from Table Mountain was incredible, and the sight seeing around Cape Town was very enjoyable. The tour guide Super was great!
Super the tour guide was very informative, professional and efficient in guiding the group around the city. The van was clean, comfortable and easy to access. The tour was filled with beautiful, educational, entertaining and fun. I would definitely use this tour service again.
The views you get from top of the Table Mountain is probably one of the most scenic views I have ever seen in my life. You are literally above the clouds admiring the gorgeous cape town city view and its surroundings. The experience has exceeded my already very high expectations.
Well worth the trip.
Inspite of having a problem with pick up the company put it right .. Guide first rate.
collected on time from hotel, very well organised, your representative Elaine? was very
entertaining and made the trip fun and informative
Great guide, very informative, and just plain fun. Unfortunately, Table Mountain was covered in fog and the cable car was not operating but we did get to go to another park with a great view over the city. A really good introduction to Cape Town.
Amazing Trip!
Nice tour with very few people. It seemed as if we were travelling in our own car. The lady guide was very friendly and had a lot of patience with us. Cheap Price too. Thanks a lot.
Good trip with lots of time at the top and a beautiful day.
Elaine and Rodney were the perfect guide and driver for our trip. Their ability to make us feel welcome, their expert knowledge and comments and sense of fun was awesome. Elaine was able to keep us altogether and on time to enjoy her beautiful city.
This was a half day tour and did not fall short of any of our expectations. The tour guide was awesome and was able to give a lot of history regarding the places we visit. Table mountain is a must and unless you are planning to hike the amount of time spent on the mountain is more than enough. Town tour, castle, and diamond factory was exciting.
We found this trip to be very informative and really covered all areas of Cape Town No need for Hop on Hop Off bus tour after this Table Mountain itself offered fantastic views over the area and loved seeing the clouds roll in Loved the coloured houses in Malay Quarter and Camps Bay a must visit Well done for this great tour
Rosalie M United Kingdom
Rodney was our guide and what a wonderful interesting man he was. The cable was not operating for us on the day however he made sure that we went up to signal hill in time for the noon day gun and took us to the castle and gave us a personal tour.
A must tour if you are in Cape Town. Viator connects you to the best local tour operator whose vehicles are immaculate and guides have indepth knowledge.
I have been using Viator since 2010 and never been disappointed.
Great experience. Well mangled tour. Will recommend to all of my friends and family.
Table Mountain was closed for scheduled maintenance, so our driver took us to Signal Hill. He was a very knowledgeable guide and pointed out many sites from Signal Hill. He knew all about the flora and fauna. It was a fascinating tour because we saw sites in the city that only a native Cape Townian would know. The van was very clean. The driver wore a headset which projected his voice to everyone on the tour. Questions were welcomed and answered. Highly recommend this tour and our tour guide, Armon.
Excellent guide, great time!

The Double-Tap Heard 'Round The World, Save the Last Dance (2001)
Forget that final dance scene. Okay, sure, they did something cool with a chair. But this dance, with the double-tap spin, is what kept you up at night, cursing the day you gave up dance class for netball. No one's going to want to see you centre pass at the club.
The Subject Of Your Romantic Fantasies, From Age 12 To Forever, Dirty Dancing (1987)
It's been pointed out that "nobody puts baby in the corner" doesn't make any sense. But that really, truly doesn't matter. Patrick Swayze could say E = MC², and girls everywhere would have still swooned and worked on their skirt-twirling abilities.

This only applies to calls made from cell phones within range of towers that exist outside Montgomery County. If you use a landline telephone, your call is automatically routed to the correct call center.
