Sumter School District Board of Trustees gave its ap- proval for the district to issue an operations loan earlier than usual this year because of the district’s low general fund balance and cash flow needs. Because of its financial diffi- culties, the district will have to issue the loan on its own and outside a pool of other school districts; therefore, associated fees and costs will be higher. It’s not known at this time how much those extra fees will be for the district. The board unanimously ad- opted a resolu- HALLIGAN tion for the $19 million tax antici- pation note Monday night at its regular monthly work ses- sion.

BY RICK CARPENTER [email protected]

The line began forming at 3:15 a.m. and by the time ALDI grocery store at Broad Street and Wise Drive officially reopened with a ribbon cutting cere- mony at 8:45 a.m. Thursday, more than 300 people had lined up making a circle around the parking lot. And shoppers were still arriving, parking at neighboring businesses or on grassy areas of the store’s property. And virtually every customer smiled. Talk to people who shop there, and they’ll express passion and excite- ment. When The Sumter Item ran a front- page photo two weeks ago saying the remodeling was ahead of schedule, the photo went viral on Facebook and other social media. Most people in line said they saw an advertisement last week that an- nounced the reopening date and that the first 100 customers would receive store coupons for $10, $25 or $100. Tom Bennett, a disabled former in- RICK CARPENTER / THE SUMTER ITEM dustrial worker, said someone saw the Tom Bennett, left, started the line at 3:15 a.m. and by 8:30 a.m., more than 300 people were in line wating for the ALDI at Broad ad and called him Wednesday night.

SADIE & SHUG GABO Thank you Dr. Williams for Dr. Hudson, Thanks to you taking such great care of Gabo is doing great. Sadie & Shug. We love you. Mary Cockerill Mr. Martin Keep pets cool, comfortable and safe during hot weather. Summer may be a time for vacations and recreational activities for human beings, but pets may not be privy to the same luxuries. Summer recre- ation may not always include our four-legged friends, as summer heat and other issues can pose a threat to companion animals. As a result, pet parents must make pet safety a priority when the weather heats up. Th e Humane Society of the United States says that the summer months can be uncomfortable and dangerous for pets. Temperatures that may be tolerable for adults and children who are dressed accordingly may not be so for animals covered in fur. It’s vital to help pets stay comfortable and safe as summer temperatures heat up. Pet parents also must be aware of particular dangers that go hand-in-hand with summertime activities. • Practice vehicle safety. It is never acceptable to leave pets in parked cars, even for a minute. Temperatures inside vehicles can rise quickly and considerably in a matter of minutes, even with the windows opened slightly. If you have to run errands, keep dogs and cats at home where they will be more comfortable. • Stay off of hot asphalt. If you’ve ever walked on the hot sand or an asphalt driveway on a hot day, you understand just how scorching those sur- faces can get. Dogs and cats do not have protective shoes to wear, so safeguard the delicate pads of their paws by keeping companion animals off of hot surfaces. Schedule walks in the early morning or late aft ernoon when temperatures are cooler. • Provide a way for pets to cool off . If you’re hot, chances are your pet is hot, too. Off er a means for pets too cool off , such as a wading pool when you are outside. Off er plenty of fresh water. Keep pets who do not enjoy the heat indoors with the air conditioner running on hot days. • Look for indicators of heat stress. Th e American Veterinary Association says heat stress is marked by heavy panting, dry or bright red gums, thick drool, vomiting, diarrhea, or wobbly legs. Move pets exhibiting such symptoms to a cool place, drape a damp towel over the animal’s body, rewetting the cloth frequently, and get the animal to the vet as soon as you possibly can.
