LETTER TO THE EDITOR DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAS STOOPED TO BULLYING REPUBLICANS We now have a member of the U.S. Con- gress openly calling for the harassment and stalking of the president and anyone else that might be associated with him. We have Demo- crats not only showing their hatred of him, but calling his wife and children incredibly vulgar names in an attempt to bully behavior in others. Bullying ... from the party that claims civility as their own. Nonsense. Their true colors have been exposed. A hateful group, one that reaches to “leaders” in Con- gress ... No plan, no answers ... simply hate. Do you realize that a man like John Kenne- dy, a Democratic icon for decades, would not even make it out of the Iowa primary in to- day’s Democratic party? He would be laughed right out of a party that was seen as the “Party of Kennedy.” That is how far left these nut jobs have turned. How sad. The party of hate, division and identity poli- tics. They are guaranteeing that people like me, who not only did not vote for Trump, but has voted Democrat in the past, to cast my ballot for him next time around ... with gusto.

AMERICAN LEGION BASEBALL Still a chance Manning faces Lexington with playoff hopes on the line BY DENNIS BRUNSON [email protected]

With a 2-0 victory over Hartsville Post 53 on Friday, the Manning-Santee Post 68 American Legion baseball team put itself in a position to finish in the top four in League III and make the state playoffs. M-S still has plenty of work to do to pull it off, but the opportunity is there. A loss to Hartsville would have pretty much ended any hope it had. "I told the team before the game that we needed to win if we were going to have any chance," said Manning head coach Spencer Jordan, whose team is 7-7 overall and 3-5 in league play, good for fifth place. "We went out and played really well. "Braydon Osteen pitched an outstanding game for us," he added. "He went out there and battled, made great pitches and really played great defense. He caught three line drives to start double plays of his own accord." Doing the heavy work of moving into the top four begins today. Post 68 will be on the road against Lexington Post 7, which is 5-3 in league play, for a 7 p.m. game. Lexington will travel to Manning on Thursday for a second game. Camden Post 17 leads the league with an 8-1 record. Sumter, which is off this week, is 7-3, while Hartsville is 5-3. Post 53 plays Dalzell- SUMTER ITEM FILE PHOTO Shaw Post 175, which is winless in league play. Braydon Osteen’s complete game shutout in Manning-Santee’s 2-0 victory over Hartsville on Friday kept Post 68 in the hunt for a spot in the American Legion state playoffs.

Pink Sangria straight up or topped off

BY SARA MOULTON Associated Press

Nothing spells summertime like sangria, the chilled and refreshing wine-based fruit punch from Spain that landed on our shores to stay via the 1964 World's Fair. In its clas- sic form — a mix of red wine and chopped fruit that's sometimes fur- ther glorified with orange juice and brandy — sangria is just about per- fect. Except that it can be rather difficult to sip the punch given all the fruit floating around in it ... and likewise tricky to eat the fruit with- out spilling the punch on your shirt. Here's my solution: pureed fruit ice cubes. They start to melt as soon as you drop them into the glass with your punch, releasing all the fruit's flavor while freeing you from having to stick a fork into a chunk of fruit as you drink. Meanwhile, you can appreciate the increase in the drink's fruitiness as it deepens from the first sip to the last. Fun. The fruit cubes in this recipe are made of raspberries and peaches, but any fresh berry or summer fruit will do — nectarines, apricots, plums — and the riper the better. (Frozen unsweetened fruit will also do the job. Just let it defrost before pureeing it.) How to puree it? Use a blender. A food processor just won't produce a smooth enough texture. And, sangria aside, these fruit cubes are a lovely addition to all sorts of summer drinks, including iced tea and lemonade. As noted, sangria is usually made with red wine. Here I've re- placed it with some dry rosé be- cause I think the fruits' flavor shines more brightly in a lighter wine. For that matter, you could use a white wine, too.
