Amid, and despite, a down- pour Monday morning, batch- es of fish were still fried, songs of joy and praise were still sung and veterans were still honored at an annual Memorial Day event at South Sumter Park. The annual get-together is usually held at the outdoor park, but rain forced attend- ees to pack the gymnasium.

Shooting group receives grant for indoor range BY ADRIENNE SARVIS [email protected]
The Sumter County Chapter of The Well Armed Woman — an organization aimed at educating, training and em- powering female gun owners — re- ceived a $3,721.85 grant from the Na- tional Rifle Association to purchase supplies that will allow its members to practice almost anywhere indoors. Every year the NRA gives grants to shooting groups, said Debbie Brown, leader of the Sumter County TWAW chapter, so TWAW applied for a Smoke- less Range grant to purchase the Laser Ammo Smokeless Range system. The Smokeless Range system allows gun owners to practice shooting their actual firearms in any indoor environ- ment with the use of a laser that is at- tached to an unloaded weapon and tar- gets that are projected onto a wall or displayed on a TV or computer screen.

AMERICAN LEGION BASEBALL AUTO RACING Gibbs says Feeling good Busch simply ‘special’ when it’s race day BY STEVE REED AP Sports Writer
CONCORD, N.C. — Joe Gibbs has coached Super Bowl champions. He’s learned that to reach that level, it takes a group of guys who are “special” on game day — just like Kyle Busch, the top driver in the NASCAR team owner’s stable and winner of 188 races across the top three circuits. “I have had some football players who are real easy during the week and when they put their helmet on, they are big time and going for it. Those are the guys you want — and I think Kyle has that,” Gibbs said. “I don’t know that I have ever seen him back off on race day.” THE SUMTER ITEM FILE PHOTO Busch continued his assault on the A sliding Morgan Morris will be back with the Manning-Santee American Legion baseball team this season.
