Central Carolina Technical Col- lege was recently awarded a federal Veterans Upward Bound grant for $1.3 million, according to a news release. The program will serve 125 veterans per year from Sumter, Claren- don, Lee and Kershaw counties at a cost of $263,938 per year for five years for a total of $1,319,690. The Veterans Upward Bound program is designed to prepare, moti- vate and assist veterans in the development of academic and other skills necessary for acceptance into and success in a program of post- secondary education. The program will fund the following new staff positions: veteran transition counsel- or, veteran academic counselor, ad- ministrative specialist and four part-time teaching assistants. The grant will also fund the expansion of the existing Veterans Resource Center, college and cultural explo- ration activities and provide small stipends to veterans who complete various program components. “We are excited to have the opportunity to better serve the veterans of our community.

MIDDLE SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL PRO TENNIS Pink Open has Hawks netters rule the roost almost as many qualifiers left as seeded players

FROM STAFF REPORTS

There are almost as many qualifiers left after the second round of the Sumter Pink Open as there are seeded players in the singles main draw. Just three seeds remain among the eight players who will play in the quarterfinal matches, while two qualifiers — both of whom had to win three matches to even reach the main draw — will be joining the seeds in the $25,000 USTA Women’s Pro Circuit event at Palmetto Tennis Cen- ter. American qualifier Jessica Pegula advanced to the quarterfinals by taking down No. 8 seed Maria Sanchez 6-3, 6-3. No. 1 seed Taylor Townsend cruised past Sarah-Rebecca Sekulic 6-3, 6-3, while No. 4 seed Victoria Rodriguez took PHOTOS BY TREVOR BAUKNIGHT / THE SUMTER ITEM care of qualifier Victoria Alice Drive Middle School’s Abbegale Bauer sets the ball forward for a teammate during the Hawks’ victory over Hillcrest Middle School Flores 6-4, 6-1 and No. 7 seed on Wednesday in the championship match of the Sumter Middle School Conference volleyball tournament at Sumter High School.

U.S., ISRAEL TO EXIT UNESCO OVER ALLEGED BIAS

The United States announced Thursday that it is pulling out of the U.N.’s educational, scientiﬁc and cultural agency because of what Wash- ington sees as its anti-Israel bias and a need for “fundamental reform” in the agency. Israeli Prime Minister Benja- min Netanyahu said Israel plans to follow suit. While the Trump administration had been preparing for a likely withdrawal from UN- ESCO, the timing of the statement was unexpected. The U.S. stopped funding UNESCO after it voted to include Palestine in 2011, but the State Department has maintained a UNESCO office.

FROM STAFF REPORTS

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and McLeod Health Clar- endon has sent out a news release reminding women of the importance of early diagnosis to combat the disease. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women, except for skin cancer, the release said. According to the American Cancer Society, there are more than 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in the Unit- ed States today. Numerous studies have shown that when breast cancer is diagnosed at an early, localized stage, it has a high cure rate of greater than 90 percent, the release said. The American Cancer Society provides the following breast cancer screening guidelines: Mammogram: Women age 40 and older should have a mammogram every year and keep on doing so for as long as they are in good health. Clinical breast exam: Wom- en in their 20s and 30s should The McLeod Mobile Unit allows the health care system to reach out to customers who don’t have access to the nearest hospital. have a clinical breast exam as part of a regular exam by Although risks for breast cancer.

What began as severe, debilitating back pain quickly Here are just a few became a tough fight against cancer. After being referred to McLeod Regional Medical Center, examples: Melanie underwent tests that showed metastatic cancer to the liver and spine that had started in her breast. The diagnosis left Melanie shocked and scared, but an introduction to the highly-skilled McLeod Oncologist Dr. Sreenivas Rao changed all that. Dr. Rao began an aggressive chemotherapy program and customized treatment plan specifically designed to fight Melanie’s breast cancer. It was a complete success, and Melanie has been cancer-free for three years. Today, Melanie is grateful for the ability to do what she loves most - caring for others. “Cancer will change your life,” says Melanie. “I experienced an amazing outcome, and, I could not WAND EXERCISE have done it without God, Dr. Rao, and my family.” This exercise helps increase your ability to move your shoulders forward.
