Local law enforcement agencies are reminding residents to be aware of the telltale signs of a phone scam and how to prevent a loved one from fall- ing victim to one of those deceitful calls. Phone scammers mostly target the elderly, said Ken Bell, public information officer for Sumter County Sher- iff’s Office. Scammers usually ask people to purchase prepaid cards and give them the card information over the phone, Bell said. An older scam that has started re- surfacing is when a scammer will call claiming to be a grandchild who is in trouble, he said. The caller will then hand the phone over to another person pretending to be a law enforcement officer who will say that the grandchild will be taken to jail unless money is paid, he said. Law enforcement officers would never ask for money over the phone nor tell anyone to purchase a prepaid card, Bell said. “That’s not the way we operate,” he said.

COMMENTARY Don’t sell the lakes BY REP. PHILLIP LOWE

y now I am sure most have heard about the financial and construction problems affecting the nuclear project. SCE&G and BSantee Cooper are partners in the project that ceased when Westinghouse, the contractor, de- clared bankruptcy. In 2007, SCE&G lawyers drafted proposed legislation allowing power companies to recover the cost of new-generation facilities before they were finished. Traditionally, power companies could not ask the Public Service Commis- sion for rate increases until the plant was working. The cost to build a new generator is added into the rate you pay for electricity. Lobbyists said consumers would save money in the long run because they would not have to pay for the cost of bonds.

PREP FOOTBALL USC FOOTBALL Wolford sees Revenge factor? improved OL for Gamecocks BY PETE IACOBELLI The Associated Press

COLUMBIA — South Carolina offensive line coach Eric Wolford knew when he was hired that his job was to toughen up his players and improve the Gamecocks offensive numbers. He believes that’s happening this summer. Everyone will know for sure in a few weeks. The Gamecocks were next-to-last in Southeastern Con- ference rushing and last in the league in sacks allowed — both areas WOLFORD where the offensive line gets most of the blame. “There was a concern with our overall athletic ability when you look at the matchups we have week in and week out,” Wolford said about watching tape of last year’s lack of pro- duction. Through more than two weeks of summer camp, South Caroli- na coaches are confident the players up front will be improved and ready to anchor South Carolina’s offense. “I think Eric’s done a great job of helping those guys progress,” offensive coordinator Kurt Roper said. “I feel good about those guys, I feel good about going to play right now if we had to play.” SUMTER ITEM FILE PHOTO Wolford credited strength Da’Jon Butts (34) and the rest of the Sumter Gamecocks kick off their season today when they face Ridge View at the Blythewood coach Jeff Dillman with pushing High field at 7:30 p.m. All but one of the 12 area local teams begin play this week. players to get stronger, faster and fearless, saying “our players have done a great job this sum- Sumter takes on Ridge View today hoping to avenge last year’s loss mer of becoming more mobile, their ability to change direc- BY DENNIS BRUNSON PREP FOOTBALL SCHEDULE whether expressed or not – tion.” [email protected] as it travels to the Bly- Wolford is a fiery offensive THURSDAY 7:30 p.m. thewood High stadium to line coach starting his second There isn’t a lot of history Lee Central at C.A.

FIGHT FROM PAGE B1 though Mayweather has fought all but three of his professional fights with 8-ounce gloves and has never been knocked out. But the fight needed another selling point, and Nevada State Athletic Commission members were happy to give it one. “It’s an unusual contest for us as a commission,” said chairman Anthony Marnell. Unusual, well, yes. The fight matches a UFC champion in his first professional boxing match against a fighter who was throwing punches before he could walk and who won all 49 of his pro fights before announcing his retirement. Commission members — who regulate both UFC and boxing in Nevada — are charged with protecting the health and safety of fighters. Their No. 1 job is to make sure as few fighters as possible get their brains scrambled in the ring or in the octagon. And in this case, they failed. It was bad enough that the commission approved a nov- ice boxer to go 12 arounds with one of the best fighters THE ASSOCIATED PRESS of all time, no questions Conor McGregor trains during a workout for the media last Friday in Las Vegas.

In 2016, they won their first seven games before closing with a 4-game losing streak for a 7-4 finish, including a DANNER first-round playoff SUMTER ITEM FILE PHOTO loss to eventual 2A Robert E.
