CARING FROM PAGE A1 started an education assis- tance ministry to help single mothers who are pursuing a secondary education. Other organizations do dif- ferent projects during certain times of the year, but United Ministries offers its services all year, so the donations will be used almost immediately, Champagne said. These ser- vices don’t stop, he said. Without donations and com- munity involvement, Cham- pagne said in some cases, United Ministries would not have the resources to complete projects. Champagne said he loves to see people of different denomi- nations and backgrounds com- ing together to take care of each other. Since 2014, more than $17,000 has been donated to as- sist families in need. “The Sumter Item is always looking for ways to partner with United Ministries and help those in need in the com- munity,” Item Publisher Jack Osteen said. “The Summer of Caring program is just anoth- er example of that, and we hope it will continue to grow just like the Fireside Fund has all these years.” Donations for Summer of Caring will be collected through the week before Labor Day. Those who wish to contribute can send financial donations to: The Sumter Item P.O. Box 1677 Sumter SC 29151 Contributions can also be dropped off at The Sumter Item office, 36 W.

PARNELL WILL BRING OUR VALUES TO WASHINGTON As a resident of the 5th Congressional District, I am excited about Archie Parnell representing us in Washing- ton. Like the American Hospi- tal Association, American Medical Association, Ameri- can Nurse Association, American Association of Re- tired Persons (AARP) and the state’s largest black reli- gious body, the Baptist Edu- cational and Missionary Convention of South Caroli- na, Archie opposes the Re- publican bill to replace the Affordable Care Act and has called upon his opponent to do the same. As a businessman and tax expert, Archie will bring South Carolina values of hard work and civility to Washing- ton. He will work hard to elim- inate corporate tax giveaways, create jobs and cut taxes for working families. A vote for Archie Parnell on June 20 will be a vote for a caring and compassionate ser- vant who will stand up for all of us! THE REV. JAMES BLASSINGAME Sumter

How I Met/Mother How I Met/Mother How I Met/Mother How I Met/Mother Networks play deja vu with summer programming BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH Musings for a slow Tuesday night in June: We all say that television has changed com- pletely over the past decade. In the years since YouTube emerged and Netflix and other streaming devices arrived, the competition for viewers has in- creased geometrically. The wealth of programming has exploded, and the ways people “consume” something called “content” has changed in a manner nobody saw coming 10 years ago. Yet when it comes to sum- mer programming, the net- works behave as if very little has changed. Basically, they seem to think they can take summer off and air repeats, a few reality competitions or game shows and expect every- body to come back in the fall. After scanning tonight’s list- ings of repeats on Fox, ABC and CBS; talent shows on NBC and one original episode on the CW, I glanced back at a col- umn from 10 years ago this week. The offerings are spook- ily, if depressingly, similar. Hop in the TV time machine and travel back to Tuesday, June 12, 2007, and you’ll enter DIYAH PERA / THE CW a strange dimension where Rose McIver stars as Liz in the “Conspiracy Weary” episode of “iZombie” airing at 9 p.m. today on The CW.
