If he runs out today, he said his next water delivery will be Saturday and advised customers to get there early Sat- urday. At the Piggly Wiggly on Broad Street, Assistant Store Manager Daniel Pack said the shopper frenzy at his store began Wednesday morning. He said he was out of bread and water at his store between noon and 1 p.m. Wednesday and expected the same on Thursday. Pack said he will get in shipments of both items today and Saturday and also advised customers to get to the store early if they need supplies. He said he thinks local shoppers decided to buy food supplies early after seeing all the recent coverage of Hurri- cane Harvey in Houston, Texas, and it put many people on edge.

BY SHARRON HALEY The Sumter Item

MANNING — More than 100 cancer survivors, their caregivers and friends attended the Celebrate Life Survivor Social held Aug. 31 at Manning United Methodist Church. The 2018 Clarendon County Relay Committee and American Cancer Soci- ety sponsored the social to honor and recognize cancer survivors for their strength, perseverance and their will- ingness to help others travel down the road to recovery. The reception area was festively decorated in purple, the color for survivors, and white with an arch covered in purple mesh where attendees could have their pictures taken. Judy Hooks, a survivor, and Rose- mary Herring, both members of the Relay committee, said the event wouldn’t have been as successful without the donations of delicious desserts and beverages from local businesses and friends. “Everything was delicious,” Herring said. “We’re so thankful for everyone’s help in putting the event together.” The social was also an opportunity to introduce Meredith Garris, Clarendon’s new American Cancer Society community development manager. Garris isn’t new to Relay.

COLUMBIA — The Sumter High football team gave Spring Valley a first-half fight at Harry Parone Stadium on Thursday, but the Vikings shut down the Gamecocks in the second half in a 51-34 rout. The game, which was played early because of the approach of Hurricane Irma, was a tight contest in the first half, but Spring Valley, which improved to 4-0 on the season, took control in the second half. The Gamecocks, who fell to 3-1, had just 66 rushing yards and 15 passing yards in the second half, while the Vikings outscored them 29-7. Sumter quarterback Zykiem Jackson had 114 rushing yards on 11 carries in the first half, and finished the night with 126 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries. His 76-yard pass to Jalen Rouse set up a Da’Jon Butts touchdown run to close out the first half, but it was the last offensive highlight on the night for the Gamecocks.

BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH “The Orville” (8 p.m. Sunday, Fox, TV- 14) is as odd as its title. It’s supposed to evoke the can-do spirit of classic “Star Trek,” but a ship called the Orville does not stir the spirit like one named the Enterprise. The whole series has a similar hesitancy. It’s goofy yet occasionally inspiring, but it’s not enough of either to qualify as a comedy, parody or drama. Creator and star Seth MacFarlane (“Family Guy”) puts special effects to good use to evoke a world 400 years in the future. Yet it remains a universe of arrested emotional development for grown-up men. MacFarlane plays Capt. Ed Mercer. He’s first seen returning to New York only to find his wife, Kelly Grayson (Adrianne Palicki), in bed with a blue alien. After a yearlong bender, he’s as- signed to captain the Orville. A rather plodding pilot goes through the motions of introducing the diverse, intergalactic crew. It’s not giving too much away to reveal that Kelly joins the crew, much to Ed’s discomfort, and that the couple come to collaborate and FOX eventually get out of a cosmic jam or Scott Grimes, left, and Seth MacFarlane star in the “Old Wounds” episode of “The Orville,” premiering at 8 p.m. Sunday on FOX. two.
