WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 29, 2007 THE TIMES AND www.TheTandD.com POLICE REPORTS Man gets 25 years in cocaine conspiracy Ellen Scott Jones Funeral services for Ellen An Orangeburg man was sentenced to 25 years in federal prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to sell crack cocaine and cocaine. Testimony at his plea hearing revealed that Kenji Lee Kennerly, 28, was a distributor of both powder and crack cocaine in the Orangeburg area from at least 2000 until 2005. Authorities say Kennerly sold more than 50 grams of crack cocaine and more than 5 kilograms of cocaine. Iva According to a press release from U.S. Attorney Reginald I.
Lloyd, Kennerly agreed to cooperate with federal investigators, but received additional prison time because he provided false information on the extent of his involvement in organized drug trafficking. The case was investigated by the FBI, the DEA and the Orangeburg County Sheriff's Office. DJJ offenders RMC seeks blood donors speak in advance of holiday community blood supply." RMC's Blood Bank team reminds the community that since the Blood Assurance Program is an independent program, it operates through steady donations from individuals, businesses and organizations. To be eligible to donate blood, a person must weigh at least 110 pounds. The minimum age requirement for blood donors is 17, with parental permission.
There is no maximum age limit, as long as a person is healthy. The entire process takes about 30 minutes. Blood donors are asked to stop by RMC's Blood Bank. Located on RMC's first floor, the Blood Bank is open from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 10 a.m.
until 2 p.m. on Saturday, except holidays. After-hours appointments can be arranged.

Caldwell was 13 when he was sentenced to 17 months in juvenile prison for assault. He was chosen as one of the agency's first Insiders a community service program that allows chosen inmates to speak at schools, churches and community events to keep other from committing crimes. Fifteen years later, Caldwell is 28 and an assistant coordinator for the DJJ program. "It changed my life. It gave me the hope and belief in myself that was never there," Caldwell said.
Insiders coordinator Andy Broughton said 30 percent of the more than 100 inmates who have gone through the program have returned to prison, compared to 85 percent of the general population. "After they start speaking and people start responding to them, that changes them," Broughton said. "It has been amazing to watch them be successful in a positive way to watch them grow and learn to care." One current member of the program is Antonio, a 17- year-old from Charleston. DJJ doesn't release last names of current inmates for privacy reasons. Antonio is serving a threeto four-year sentence for several charges including grand theft auto and accessory after the fact to armed robbery.
He will go before a review board in the next three months to decide if he is released or moved to an adult prison. His work with the program will help him, but is no guarantee he will be let out. "I could be doing life in prison or I could be dead," he said. "I didn't take that as seriously when I was Staff Writer In Loving Memory Of MR. CLAUDE LEGREE, JR.

"RMC has seen a trend of continued blood needs coupled with a decreased blood supply," Lott said.

SOUTH CAROLINA Wire Reports Attorney general wants tougher standards for nuclear waste site COLUMBIA -State Attorney General Henry McMaster wants tougher groundwater monitoring standards at one of the nation's few low level nuclear waste facilities. McMaster met with the state Department of Health and Environmental Control on Monday and said he is pressing them to enforce Environmental Protection Agency standards at the Barnwell County site. Tritium levels in wells beneath the landfill are above the EPA's standard for safe drinking water although the site has met other federal standards. The site has operated since 1971 under Nuclear Regulatory Commission standards without consideration of the EPA standards.
"I think that the water quality standard should be a component of the measurements that DHEC uses. I think that DHEC may be coming to that conclusion as well," McMaster said. Graham recommends SC's Wilkins to be new AG GREENVILLE U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham wants President Bush to appoint 4th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals Judge William Wilkins to replace resigning Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Graham said he spoke to Wilkins on Monday after Gonzales resigned and the longtime prosecutor and judge from Greenville would be willing to serve if the president asked. Wilkins would find the balance between protecting civil liberties and fighting an enemy that knows no boundaries and is willing to kill themselves to achieve their objectives, Graham said. "He is one of the most respected jurists in the entire country, I think he has the background, the temperament and the ability that our country needs," Graham said. Wilkins served as chief judge of the federal court in Richmond, that hears appeals of federal cases from the Carolinas, Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland.
He has been on the court since 1986..
