Relay for Life raises

To help end cancer fight
$75,000
By Billy Cannada
Editor
Cancer survivors gathered at
Dooley Field last Friday night
to spread a simple message:
theyre winning the fight.
The annual Relay for Life event
raised $75,000, giving victims and
supporters reason for hope.
This is why we relayto support
our cancer survivors and to give
hope to those that are fighting, said
Marsha Strong, who coordinates the
annual survivors dinner. It nice to
be out among people and know that
were all in this fight together.
The event featured dancing, music,
food and, of course, a relay. Cancer

survivors walked the first lap, led by
6-year-old Tucker Reeves, who was
diagnosed with the disease at age 2.
Its awesome, said Reeves father, Tyler. We want to do anything
we can to help spread Gods word
and help raise money to fight this
disease.
Tyler said his son is an inspiration.
Tucker is the real hero in this
whole thing, he said. We held his
hand and did what we could to help
him through it, but hes the soldier
out of the group. Hes the one the
fought it and hes the one that beat
it.

Greer officers will head

Police Chief Dan Reynolds suggested to Greer

four officers to the event,
exposing them to real-life
training in crowd control,
public safety and traffic
control. While there, the
officers will be paired with
Myrtle Beach police.

Middle Tyger Community Center brought in more

than $6,000 last week during its annual Purses with
a Purpose fundraiser.
The program takes gently used and new purses
and sells them out of the
non-profits Community
Chest Thrift Store, located
at 52 Groce Road, Lyman,
to raise money for District
Five Family Ministries client services programs.
We had right at 3,300
purses: many, many gently
used, gently loved purses.
We also had some new
ones that still had some
tags on them, said Lyn
Turner, District Five Family Ministries coordinator.
If you think about donating, think about that purse
in your closet that your
Aunt Mildred gave you
years ago for a birthday
that you really didnt like
and you stuck it up there
because you couldnt get
rid of it and hurt her feelings those are the purses
that we take.

We had purses of all

we had some dollar ones
all the way to high dollar
ones, she said. We only
took in last year maybe
2,000. One of the main
reasons we did so well this

of the Spartanburg Leadership Class. They took this
on a project for them to do
for community service. So
they helped us immensely
by getting the wood our

to clean the purses and
stuff them, make them
pretty and price them and
put them out in the store
and make it look good because we like our store to
look like a boutique it

us.
Although the Purses

through the Community

We are very particular
about the donated clothing that comes through

Duncan town
residents face
tax increase
BY AMANDA IRWIN
STAFF WRITER
Under the mandate
Duncan residents are

likely to see a tax increase
next year due to a sewer
repair mandate and because the town exceeded
last years budgeted expenditures.
As proposed for first
reading, budgeted revenues for the 2016 fiscal
year equal $2,354,000,
which is $1,800 less than
the previous year. Despite
lessening the citys expenditures, residents may still
face a tax increase of 1.62
mils, bringing Duncans
mileage rate to 79.12, in
addition to a 5 percent
sewer rate increase.
Mayor Lisa Scott said
the tax increase is also
a result of an increase in
insurance and gas costs.
As currently proposed, a
3 percent increase for all
full-time town employees
is included in the budget,
as well.
There wasnt big shift
or changes, Ill tell you
that. I mean of course, insurance increased for personnel, so the personnel
stuff went up. Of course,
the budget you will see
has increased by CPI (Consumer Price Index) and
population growth, said
Scott. (The town) went
over budget on things.
(We) spent a lot on pool
repairs at the waterpark
hundreds of thousands
of dollars. Were also facing a DHEC mandate to repair the sewer system, and
that is why the sewer rates
are increasing, so its an
unknown. Under the mandate we dont really know
what were looking at in
sewer costs.
The mileage increase
is restricted to use in the

according to Scott. However, in addition to council
regularly passing resolutions permitting the city

expenses elsewhere, the
General Fund also includes

miscellaneous.
An ordinance to establish salaries for the mayor

from the agenda during

A resolution to repeal

the agenda.
Scott said prior to second reading council will

changes will be made to
the budget before final

ROUNDABOUT: Could
be constructed in Greer
FROM PAGE ONE
We took that into account. Thats a big consideration, he said. Were

making sure the roundabout is large enough to
accommodate their fire
trucks. We dont want to
impede their actions in
any way. We want them to
operate as well as they always have.
The SCDOT has constructed 17 roundabouts
through the Highway Safety Improvement Program
in South Carolina. Officials
say a recent safety evaluation of these projects
found fatal crashes were
reduced by 100 percent
and crashes resulting in
injury were reduced by 71
percent.
The roundabout solution has been pretty successful so far, Riddle
said.
A new right-of-way will

be needed for the project,
but no displacements are
anticipated, according to
the DOT.
Anyone may request that
a public meeting be held.
This request must be
submitted in writing to
Riddle, SCDOT room 524,
Post Office Box 191, Columbia, 29202-0191. The
request must be received
no later than Monday,
June 8.
We want to reach out
to the public and get opinions, Riddle said. Well
react to interest and evaluate what we need to do accordingly.
Riddle said, in the event
a request is received and
a public meeting planned,
a notice of the time and

A battle of wits
hauna White, a comely blonde reporter based in Toronto, Canada, is featured in a video that has now gone
viral around the world, showing first
hand how commonly lewd behavior as
well as sexual harassment still prevails.
Broadcasting outside, live, before a
football game, she was heckled by two
young men who actually yelled right into
her microphone, blurting some of the
most vulgar language possible directly
at her.
Shauna, who has said she felt like
a piece of meat, and has experienced
this sort of thing repeatedly, tracked the
offenders down, cameramen in tow, to
ask these Neanderthals (her words) why
on earth they would say something so
degrading and disgusting.
Because its funny- everybody does it!
one of them retorted as they both continued to laugh and then went on to tell
her that she was lucky thats all they did.
I think its terrific Ms White chased
them down on camera and gave them a
piece of her mind. Its even better that
one of them was recognized by his em-
Im Just
Saying
Pam sTone
ployer and promptly fired. But watching
their smug faces and unrepentant manner, my inner mullet began to surface
and how I wished Id had them in an audience during a stand up performance.
Because comics, you see, are nursed
by wolves in infancy and have an innate
ability (probably from duking our way
through shows at some of the worse
possible places early in our careers: frat
houses, strip clubs, even state fairsyoud be surprised what people will do
with corndogs...) to seek out and destroy
a heckler once securely in our crosshairs.
A good natured heckler is one thing;
thats someone who just wants to be
part of the show or is a bit too tipsy
and loses their inhibition. But the nasty
heckler, the heckler who is intent on destroying everyone elses good time, who
carries some sort of grudge or hostility,
is the one that must be dealt with effectively and immediately.
And so, Ms White, should you ever find
yourself in this sort of situation again,
and Im sure you will, below is a list of
stock lines every comic will pull out
from time to time that, as well as some
of my own, that besides shutting down
your adversary, will give you the opportunity to remain cordial and in control.
Feel free to use any, or all of them, the
next time a heckler blurts out something
revolting:
How very impressive, sir. You see,
folks, this is what happens when cousins
marry.
Little early to be drinking, aint it,
Buford?
Yeah, youre a chick magnet, alright.
Maybe in the future you might even master complete sentences.
When your IQ gets higher than your
inseam, call me.
Looks like youve been kicked off all
the dating sites, huh? Maybe you should

try Livestock.com.
Always nice when the Clampetts show
up.
Let me guess- your dates are stuck in
traffic, huh?
Yeah, I remember my first beer, too.
Do the world a favor and get a vasectomy, k?
Dude, Ive seen horses with better
teeth.
Hey, splurge a little- try a noun anda
verb, sometime.
Its gotta be hard knowing the only
woman who would be remotely interested in you is Jane Goodall.
So commit these little quivers, Shauna,
or anyone else who comes under hostile
attack, to memory and insert them,
when needed, into your verbal crossbow,
as you ready for that next, dreaded,
battle of wits.
But dont worry. In the intellectual
department, Neanderthals are generally
unarmed.

Read Romans 5:1-5
e strong, and let your heart

take courage, all you who
wait for the Lord. - Psalm
31:24(NSRV)
For many years, I have been
battling an eating disorder.
Initially, it was a response to
teasing in elementary school.
As I matured and developed
a stronger self-image, the
disorder faded. After years of
feeling I was living a healthy
life, my disorder returned
stronger than ever. I was
forced to leave my job and
enter inpatient treatment.
After nearly a month and a half
in the hospital, then months
in intensive outpatient care, I
returned home. I still struggle
daily to stay on the road to
recovery. My days are filled
with mental battles, prayers of
desperation, attempts to repair
injured relationships, and of
course, appointments with
healthcare providers.
I confess I have harbored
resentment toward Christians
who declare they have heard
the voice of God. Then one
morning I had my own encounter with God. As I sat in my
physicians waiting room, my
eyes were drawn to a scrap of
paper lying at my feet. On it
were the words, Never give
up. Never give in. A message
from God? Thats what it felt
like to me.
I placed this anonymous
encouragement where I can see
it every day, and I accept with
gratitude that God uses many
methods to reach us and provide exactly what we need.
Prayer: O God, thank you for
seeking us and showering us
with mercy even as we struggle.
Strengthen us for our journey.
Amen.
Thought for the day: God
speaks to us in many surprising ways.

Taking time to remember

those who sacrifice all
In an age of celebrity worship, when the public drapes the mantle of heroism on rock stars,
film goddesses and the giants of sport who
havent done anything to earn it, its easily forgotten that true heroes are those who risk all,
including their very lives, for the sake of others. American servicemen and women fit that
description, stepping fearlessly into the shadow
of the valley of death.
Capt. Dustin Lukasiewicz, 28, USMC, was on
a mission of mercy when his UH-1 Huey helicopter crashed in the remote mountains of Nepal. With five other Marines and two Nepalese
soldiers, he was delivering food, blankets and
medicine to villages cut off from civilization by
the two devastating earthquakes that hit that
south-Asian nation over the past three weeks.
Capt. Christopher L. Norgren of Kansas, Sgt.
Ward M. Johnson IV of Florida, Sgt. Eric M. Seaman of California, Cpl. Sara A. Medina of Illinois
and Lance Cpl. Jacob A. Hug of Arizona died
with him.
Capt. Lukasiewicz, from Nebraska, was the
father of one with another on the way. He was
serving with Light Attack Helicopter Squadron
469 based at Camp Pendleton, California. The
squadron had traveled to the Philippines for a
training mission when it got a call to fly to Nepal as part of a 300-member military aid mission, following a 7.8 magnitude quake of April
25. Eight thousand Nepalese died. Dozens more
died when the second one, a 7.3 magnitude
temblor, struck last week.
More than 160,000 Americans serve in more
than 150 countries across the globe. Thats a
broad footprint and U.S. military is a welcome
sight in places where evildoers stalk the land.
The U.S. military isnt all about killing people
and blowing up things. Not all of the $612 billion budget that passed the House of Representative last week is for buying and maintaining
weapons. An $89.2 billion piece of it is reserved
for overseas contingency operations, which
includes money to enable soldiers, sailors, air-

the cause of the tragedy. No one need wonder,
though, how the crew of the Marines regarded
their job of traveling halfway around the world
to help the families whose names they would
never know. Capt. Lukasiewicz appears in a
Marine Corps video describing the deployment,
posted online shortly before the relief mission
went aloft. My name is Captain Lukasiewicz,
he says, and we stand with Nepal.
An epitaph sometimes says everything that
needs to be said to describe a mans life. In a
single moment, a young Marine declared a noble
cause with an economy of words that says it all.
Its not true that only the good die young, but
it often, as with Captain Lukasiewicz and his
fellow Marines, can seem that way. They meet
the definition of hero, and their time on Earth
made it a better place.
ollowing Fridays events, I

believe I have the makings
of a gambling addict.
Along with some friends,
Waqas and I partook in a
seemingly harmless fun-filled
night at Dave and Busters.
The night started off innocently enough, we played skeeball, air hockey and a harpoon
video game. The purpose of
the harpoon game was to earn
points by harpooning sharks,
large fish and octopi.
But, the big catch of the
game was the elusive jellyfish
that taunted you as it swam
around, just out of reach and
blocked by other passing
marine-life. I was determined
and vigilant in my efforts, and
ultimately I prevailed, and
with my jellyfish-harpooning
success came 1,000 tickets
and so began my addiction.
From then on, the only
games I wanted to play were
ones that offered big payouts,
some even comparable to roulette being nothing but games
of chance. I didnt shy away
from them though, I was too
confident after my harpoonwin. Another game, another
swipe of the card, an occasional revisit to the harpoon
game where it all began. I was
in it for the tickets. I wanted
them all.
My efforts paid out though,
when Waqas although not
yet married, we operate under
the understanding that whats
his is mine and vice versa
spun a wheel resembling the
Wheel of Fortune and won us
another 1,000 tickets and a
free spin which amazingly
won us another 1,000 tickets.
It was thrilling.
The celebratory sounds from
the machines and the thrill of
beating chance was exhilarating. By the end of the night,
we cashed in more than 5,000
tickets and proudly left with
a stuffed dinosaur for my
nephew, stuffed teddy bear for
my niece, two picture frames
and tickets to spare for next
time.
The lesson I learned is Dave
and Busters is dangerous for
your wallet but great for the
competitive child within. And,
I should stay far, far away
from casinos.

Budget together!
Q: I have a question
about budgeting. I give
myself and my husband
$150 a month each for
blow money to be used
on whatever we want. Im
upset because he spends
all his eating out, then
he buys other things he
wants that he has no
money for. Am I being too
stingy?
Mikelle Porter of the Greater Greer Greer Chamber of Commerce presented Sharonview
President and CEO Bill Partin with a ceremonial first dollar at last Thursdays ribboncutting event.
Sharonview opens

DR: I think you guys

are handling your money
poorly. Youre acting like
his mother instead of
his wife, and hes acting
like a little boy instead
of a man. You dont want
to give your husband
an allowance and then
not be happy when he
spends money he didnt
have because he went
over what you dictated to
him. Thats a bad budget
process.
The budget process,

if youre the nerd in the
family, should start with
you writing it all out.
Then he sits down with
you, has an equal say in
the decisions and you
two okay it together. He
needs to understand that
this is you asking him
to man-up and be part
of the decision-making
process, so that you can
both be in agreement as
to whats best for the
family. In one sense, you
may not like it at first,
because right now youve
got control of things. But
in another sense, Ill bet
youre pretty tired of car-
understand that this

is you asking him
to man-up and be
part of the decisionmaking process...
rying the weight of all the
financial decision making
and being the only adult
in the household.
He doesnt even have to
work on all that much. I
want you to lay it out, but
I expect him to sit down
and go over it all with
you. Youre not asking
him to be an accountant,
but you have every right
to expect him to be in
on the decisions that are
made about your family
and your finances!

Federal
Credit Union opened its
new Greer location over
the weekend.
The business had previously been located on
Hood Road, but can now
be found at 1324 W. Wade
Hampton Boulevard.
We did an honest assessment of our previous
Greer branch location and
knew it was time for a
change, said Sharonview
President and CEO Bill Partin. With our new Greer
branch, our community
roots remain deeply planted. We look forward to renewing and strengthening
our commitment within
Greer.
Were all very excited
about the move, Greer
Branch Manager Charlotte
Marquess said. It obviously opens up a brand new
area of business for us.
Being on the Hood Road
location, there wasnt a
whole lot of visibility, but
Wade Hampton takes us to
a whole new level of exposure.

Marquess said. We want

more individuals with

Sharonview cut the ribbon on the 3,800-squarefoot branch on Thursday
with the help of Greer
Mayor Rick Danner and
members of the Greater
Greer Chamber of Commerce.
Weve seen a great in-
crease in new members,

Marquess said. We only
expect that to continue as
they see us out here now.
In addition to banking
and finance informational
sessions, a grand opening

City of Greer Fire Department.
I thought (the grand
opening) was a success,
Marquess said.
entrance on North Wood

Lane, but the road, being
a cut-through road, would
need to be expanded. According to the developers
and City Administrator
Glenn Pace, townhomes
tend to have fewer vehicles
per home than detached
homes, causing less of a
traffic impact than other
types of developments.
Several Chestnut Hill
Plantation residents said
water runoff and drainage
is a huge problem. Many
said the increased number
of homes would exacerbate the problem on their
own properties, which are
downhill from the development site. Some were
also concerned the townhomes would decrease the
value of their properties.
Despite the issues raised
by community members,
the Planning Commission
was reviewing the property to determine if it was
appropriate for annexation, and the requested
DRD zoning, which is surrounded by single-family
residences.
The commission voted
unanimously to recommending DRD zoning to
Greer Council, which will
review the property for the
second and final reading
at 6:30 p.m. on May 26 at
Greer City Hall. Due to the
DRD zoning, changes to
the proposed plans must
come back to the Planning
Commission for approval,
thereby allowing the city
to more closely regulate
the propertys development.
If this rezoning is approved, the developer
would have to come back
to the City of Greer Planning Commission for approval of a final development plan providing much
more detailed information
in regards to appearance of
structures: final site layout

the likelihood that theyll

come here, said councilmember Lee Dumas.
Despite
hesitations
about the logistics and
practicality, council unanimously permitted Driggers to go forward with
entering into the law assistance and support contract, under the condition
that contractual concerns
be remedied.
Later this month, residents will have an opportunity to preview the citys
2015-2016 fiscal year budget.
We are currently, heavily, engaged in our budget
process, said City Administrator Ed Driggers.
What we would like to do
is to bring the budget to
you (council) at your next
meeting. We will bring
that to present as part of
council meeting...We will
place it for first reading
on that agenda, but certainly recognize there may
be a request for us to hold
that first reading over until June. So we will either
do first reading on May
26 and public hearing on
June 9, or we will present
on (May) 26 and hold over
and do the first reading on
June 9, and we would hold
the public hearing on June
23.
Residents will also have
an opportunity to preview
the citys long-awaited
master plan.
Beginning at 5:30 p.m.
on Thursday, May 28, at

the Cannon Centre, the
plan will be presented in a
community-wide celebration that will include food
and entertainment.

Byrnes students arrested on voyeurism charges

By FOX Carolina
News partner

Byrnes High School students were charged after
school officials discovered
the teens took photos up
teachers dresses. Duncan police Chief C.E. Long
identified the suspects as
17-year-old Gavin Alling,
a junior, and 18-year-old
Richard West, a sophomore.
The students were taken
into custody on Saturday
and charged with voyeurism first offense, according to the Spartanburg
County Detention Centers
online records.
Melissa Robinette, a
spokesperson for Spartanburg District Five, said
the incident happened in a
classroom
at Byrnes
H i g h
School.
L o n g
said the
incident
involved
t w o
teachers
and each Alling
suspect
was
accused of

one photograph.
Robinette said
after the
initial report was
filed, ad- West
ditional
concerns
arose regarding electronic
transfer of the images.
Robinette said the teens
may face expulsion, but
she could not comment
on what disciplinary action would be taken by the
school.
District Five Schools
takes matters of teacher
and staff privacy extremely seriously, Robinette
said. When students are
accused of breaking the
law in regards to such
privacy, we will deal with
them accordingly.

toating went off inside a

Spring
football
underway
BY BILLY CANNADA
SPORTS EDITOR
Its never too early for
football, and local teams
are taking advantage of a
few extra days in pads this
springs.
Spring practices are underway for Greer, Blue
Ridge, Eastside, Riverside
and Byrnes, culminating
with a spring game at the
end of the month.
We basically have the
entire month to practice
with 10 days in pads,
Riverside coach Phil Smith
said. Having lost 23 seniors, this is a great opportunity for our younger
guys to really get a lot of
work done.
Riverside is coming off
a milestone season in
which it won four region
games in route to a play-
off berth.
Weve got some experience coming back, but not
a whole lot, Smith said.
Were taking every opportunity we have to get some
practice time in and evaluate our guys. We want to
find out who can play and
who needs some more
work.
We started installing
stuff when we got back
from Christmas, he said.
Weve concentrated on
the offensive side of the
ball a lot this offseason.
For some of our guys, this
is kind of a review, but
weve got some that have
never been out here.
Riverside will host its
spring game on May 29 at
6:30 p.m.
Blue Ridge is also taking advantage of the time,
hoping to improve on a 6-5
finish in 2014. The Tigers
can be seen in action for
the first time this Friday
at 6 p.m.
Really, the spring is just
about finding out who all
is going to be out there,
Blue Ridge coach Shane
Clark said. We use this
time to teach quite a bit. It

is beneficial to be in pads
because you can find out a
lot about some of the kids
pretty quick. Its good to
have that advantage. This
gives us a little jump on
7-on-7s and everything
else.
Getting back to the
basics is going to be important for Clarks team,
which was knocked out
of the playoffs by South
Pointe last season.
Were really just trying
to make sure everyone
works on fundamentals,
he said. If these kids are
picking up on the little
things, it will make the difference in the long run. We
need some players to step
in some key positions, but
that all has to start with
fundamentals.
Greer will also hold its
spring game on May 29,
kicking off a scrimmage at
6 p.m. Dooley Field at.
Returning a core group
of contributors, the Yellow
Jackets are coming off an
undefeated 2014 regular
season.

standout Myles Smith will
spend the next four years
at Lincoln Memorial University, after signing a national letter of intent with
the Railsplitters last week.
The Warrior point guard
said the decision felt like
the right one.
I went up there to tour
the campus and I loved it,
he said. It was nice and
small and the coaches and
the players were nice. It

just seemed to fit me.
Smith said he expects to
fit in right away at Lincoln
Memorial, hoping to contribute any way possible
during his freshman season.
They play my style
run and gun offense,
Smith said. Im really
looking forward to it.
Smith marked a milestone when he reached
1,000 points during his
senior season. According
to his former coach, being
so efficient for four years
is no small task.
Youve got to play for

with that through his
whole career speaks about
how he got better and better. Its a huge accomplishment.
I think [Riverside] has

helped me a lot in terms
of getting ready for the
next level, Smith said. It
has helped me with lead-
ership and I think it will

help make the transition
smooth.
Smith has not decided
on a major.
ometimes craigslist
purchases arent
meant to work out.
A few months ago, I
bought a riding lawn
mower that I now realize
has been cursed. No matter how much time, effort
or new parts are poured
into this thing, its only
ever going to cause grief.
This past Saturday, I
thought Id reached the
light at the end of the
tunnel.
One of my neighbors,
a mechanic-type, generously offered to donate
his time to help me get
the thing up and running.
He took a good, long look
at my pathetic mower and
diagnosed everything that
was wrong. It didnt take
long before the parts were
in and everything had
been installed.
The mower really didnt
need as much work as I
thought it would. A new
fixture for the fuel line, a
new drive belt and a new
battery was all it took for
this thing to begin cranking and running like it
should.
You have to realize, this
thing has been sitting in
my backyard, not mowing
my grass, for a long time.
So, as I mounted my new
toy Saturday afternoon, it
would be an understatement to say I was a little
excited.
My neighbors were
probably more excited.
My lawn had begun
looking like the Amazon.
Sure, I couldve borrowed
somebody elses mower to
do the job, but it wouldnt
have matched the satisfaction of doing it with
my own for the first time.
The learning curve for
this piece of machinery is
steep. It doesnt exactly
run like a dream. It runs
kind of like what you
would expect of a cheap
craigslist mower. It sputters, shifting gears isnt
exactly seamless and its
incredibly loud.
But what do I care?
It was working right?
Well, it was working
right up until I drove into
a ditch. My yard is every
mowers nightmare. Aside
from a small stretch of
grass, every bit of it is
on a hill. You cant just
go out there, turn on the
iPod and cruise around
the yard. You have to
maneuver around trees,
avoid rolling the thing
down steep slopes and
hop over rather large
gaps.
I was making a turn Id
made on a friends riding mower several times
before when my shortlived stint with the device
came to end. My right tire
planted firmly in a small
hole, I watched as my
alignment began to bend.
I began yelling at the
thing like the dad yells at
the family furnace in A
Christmas Story.
Tempted to call my mechanic friend and tell him
Id failed him, I decided
to see if it was something
I could fix myself. Surely,
after already spending a
few hours working on the
thing, Id learned something.
After watching a YouTube video featuring a
redneck that appeared
to know his way around
rundown lawnmowers, I
decided to give the repair
a go. I got the tire rod off,
straightened it, reinstalled
it, and within an hour or
so, my mower was back.
Needless to say I was
pretty proud of my work.
Look at you, I thought
to myself. Fixing mowers
and suchyou might just
be a man after all.
Fifteen minutes later
that cursed machine quit
working again.
I had to do the walk
of shame back up to the
house, where my wife was
looking on from her front
porch rocking chair.
Figures, she said.

Lopez commits to SMC

By Billy Cannada
Sports Editor
Riversides Juan Lopez
will play his college soccer
at Spartanburg Methodist
College, signing a national
letter of intent last week.
Lopez said it was the location and the programs
success that drew him in.
It was nice being close
to SMC and I know they
have a really great program, Lopez said. Im
excited for next year.

Having an impact on the
next level will come at a
price, Lopez said.
I think I can bring a
great work ethic and talent, he said. Ive played
forward and center-mid,
so theyll fit me in. Theyve
got a lot of good players,
so I know Ill have to improve a lot. Ive gotten the
chance to see them play
and warm up a little bit,
and I know Ill need to get
quicker and all that.

Lopez will be looking to
transfer to another school
after two years at SMC,
and he hopes more soccer
will be in his future.
Im going to work hard
for two years and hopefully transfer over to a
bigger, DI school, he said.
Hopefully, Ill be able to
continue playing soccer
throughout college.
Lopez will major in biology.
Riversides Philip Brazell

will play soccer for Winthrop University next year,
after signing a national letter of intent last week.
Brazell was one of three
Warrior soccer players
committing to colleges
last week.
I was just looking for a
school that had good academics and a good soccer
program, he said. That
was the main thing that
brought me to Winthrop.
I know they always try
to do well in the classroom and work hard on
the field, Brazell said. I
think Ill fit in well with
that system.
With
several
hard
months of training ahead,
Brazell said he knows his
work is cut out for him.
I know Ill have to have
work ethic, he said. Ill
have to work as hard as I
can and do the best I can.
This is going to be a brand
new experience.
Riverside soccer coach
Todd Lea said it is an exciting opportunity for his

players.
This is the first time
Ive actually gotten to do
this, and I really like it,
Lea said. The goal here is
to get more of these guys
playing college soccer.
Lea said making the
jump from high school to
college soccer is no easy
task.
The speed of the game
is a lot different. It definitely speeds up, he said.

Its a lot of the same
stuff, but youve got to
be better at it. Youve got
to be quicker, youve got
to think faster and your
touch has to be that much
better. I think these three
are ready for that.
Brazell is undecided on
a major.

High School year
Keller Williams gives back to Greer community

BY BILLY CANNADA
EDITOR
Greer Community Ministries (GCM) got a slight
facelift and a lot of help
last week thanks to more
than 100 Keller Williams
agents.
The company closed its
offices last Thursday for
RED (Renew, Energize, Donate) Day, sending workers to the local non-profit
where they helped with
landscaping, Meals on
Wheels routes and everything in between.
RED Day has been in
existence for a little over
15 years for Keller Williams, company CEO Michael Brown said. On the
second Thursday of every
May, we close our office
for the day and pick a local charitable organization
to give back to.
We wont lose a penny
of business because of
this, he said. We make
up for it tenfold just because we stopped to give
back.
Volunteers from the
agency were at GCM most
of the day.
We had a group out delivering meals. We did a
little devotional and sang
hymns with the group
thats here, Brown said.
We also brought in some
guys to cook and do some
other work.
The idea for the company to come to Greer came
Mandy Underwood trims the hedges at Greer Community Ministries during the Keller
Williams RED Day.
from Keller Williams agent
Garry Stahl, who lives in
the neighborhood.
(My mother and I) got together some of her things
to donate and we got the
tour (of GCM), Stahl said.
I took the information
back to Keller Williams
and they decided to have
their RED Day here. It was
pretty exciting.
I had been by before,
but I didnt know what they
really did, he said. When
I came in, I was very impressed. We were amazed
at what all they do and the
different programs that

they have. To know that
this is right around the
corner from where we live,
well definitely be coming
back.
Brown said RED Day
means a little more to
him.
It speaks to the culture
of our company, he said.
Weve got a great group
of people working for us
around the world. They
love to give back and thats
what its all about. At our
office, we talk a lot about
it being about the mission,
not the commission.

Stahl said he was overwhelmed by his employers efforts in his hometown.
Its
overwhelming,
Stahl said. Im very grateful that our office responded so positively and
that they wanted to get involved in Greer. Its been a
wonderful experience.
Greer Community Ministries Krista Gibson said
the organizations command center got some
much-needed
improvements.
Dennis Shelby brings a batch of veggie burgers to the

dining room table.
Theyre real estate
agents, so they said we
needed curb appeal, Gibson said. They donated
everything we needed for
(the mulch and yard work)
and theyre doing everything they can in one day.
Its amazing.
Gibson said it is important to keep spreading the
word about GCM so the or-
ganization will be able to

reach more clients.
If we can get people in
the door to actually see
what they do, we know
well leave an impression,
she said. Its all about
making connections and
building
relationships.
Now we know weve planted a seed and people know
were here.

Shingles medication
can affect memory
DEAR DR. ROACH: My
husband had a severe
case of shingles in October 2013. He still has
pain. He was given Lyrica.
Sometimes it helps, but
his memory is affected.
Im leery about giving it to
him. Ive been giving him
ibuprofen, which helps
sometimes. Can you give
me any advice? -- R.C.
ANSWER: Many medicines are used to treat
post-herpetic
neuralgia,
the pain that often follows
shingles. This pain can
be very severe and tends
to be more prolonged the
older you are.
Pregabalin (Lyrica) is an
effective medication for
many people, but changes
in memory certainly could
be a side effect. I would
be leery of giving it, too.
There are several other
classes of medication he
can try. If his doctor is uncomfortable trying something else, a neurologist
or pain specialist can help.
Sometimes, small doses of
several medications work
better than higher doses
of just one.
Giving the shingles vaccine does not help once
you have post-herpetic
neuralgia, but it can prevent many cases, and most
people who could benefit
from the vaccine havent
had it.
Shingles
questions
are among the most frequently asked. The booklet on the shingles virus
answers many of them.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I
have been using MSG on
my food as a flavor enhancement about all of my
life. Some of my healthconscious friends say that
using MSG is like putting
rat poison on your food.
I respond by saying putting salt on your food is
worse than putting MSG
on it. Does MSG deserve
its bad reputation? -- K.T.
ANSWER: Some people
have a sensitivity to monosodium glutamate, an amino acid normally present
in food that is used as a
flavor enhancer. Symptoms can include headache, muscle aches, nausea
and other symptoms. It is
particularly well-absorbed
in liquid form, such as
soups, especially those in
Asian restaurants.
If you dont have a sensitivity to MSG, it is a very
safe food additive. It does
have some sodium, but in
the usual amounts used,
does not deserve its reputation.
DEAR DR. ROACH: You

mentioned a treatment for
ureter cancer called BCG.
I would appreciate more
information on this treatment. -- M.T.
ANSWER: The ureters
are the tubes that carry
urine from the kidney to
the bladder. They are lined
with the same kinds of
cells as the bladder itself.
So, ureteral cancer acts in
many ways like bladder
cancer. Often, multiple
cancers are diagnosed at
the same time.
Surgery is the standard
treatment for ureteral cancer, and the only way for
a cure. Bacille CalmetteGuerin (BCG) is a weakened
tuberculosis bacteria that
is used for some cases of
bladder and ureteral carcinoma-in-situ, an early,
non-invasive form of precancer. It can be very effective, but is not intended
to be a curative treatment
for invasive cancer. I mentioned it for a 90-year-old
man who didnt want surgery.
Dr. Roach regrets that
he is unable to answer individual letters, but will
incorporate them in the
column whenever possible. Readers may email
questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu.

PICKS OF THE WEEK
Jupiter
Ascending
(PG-13) Jupiter Jones
(Mila Kunis) had a ho-hum
life scrubbing tiles in Chicago, until the moment she
found out she was actually
the Space Empress! Jupiter gets set up with Space
Warrior Caine (Channing
Tatum, in pointy ears)
as she is launched into a
full-blown space opera of
wacky aliens and visually
overstimulating planetary
vistas. As the Space Empress reborn, Jupiter has
to look out for the scheming heirs to the throne
especially the one
played by a pouty Eddie
Redmayne, clearly recalibrating his acting muscles
after his Academy Awardwinning role in Theory of
Everything.
This latest offering from
Andy and Lana Wachowski
(the sibling duo who gave
us The Matrix) has a
mind-blowing array of special effects in every frame.
So many that they cease
to be special. It seems like
they wanted to throw in
every cool flourish and
nifty bit of sci-fi lore they
could think of, but forgot
to include a plot or dialog
that audiences could care
about.
McFarland, USA (PG)
A hotheaded football
coach loses his job and
winds up teaching at a
high school in McFarland, California, one of
the poorest places in the
country. Many of the students are from immigrant
families and must work in
the fields in addition to
school, family responsibilities and the general pressures of being a teenager
in a rough place. Coach
Jim White (Kevin Costner)
sees how the boys run
from one place to the next,
and decides the school
should have a cross-country team a sport hes
never coached.
The movie unfolds rather the way youd expect
an uplifting Disney sports
flick would, in perhaps the
best way possible. Director Niko Caro does a commendable job of managing
the White Savior Syndrome
present in many of these
kinds of movies. Its a bythe-book underdog story,
but still manages to strike
a chord.
The Spongebob Movie:
Sponge Out of Water (PG)
An oddly familiar pirate
named Burger-Beard (Antonio Banderas) steals
the Krabby Patty formula
the coveted recipe to
the best burgers in Bikini
Bottom. The harmless and
enthusiastic
Spongebob
must team up with his pals
and Plankton the closest thing he has to an enemy to track down the
formula and save the day.
Live action and animation
collide. The ultimate absurdity will delight fans
and confound those who
still havent got onboard.
Camp X-Ray (R) As
a new guard assigned to
Guantanamo Bay, PFC Amy
Cole (Kristen Stewart) expected something different. She didnt expect it to
be such a difficult job. She
also didnt expect to form
a secret friendship with
one of the detainees whod
been locked up for more
than eight years. She has
to refer to them as detainees, because prisoners are
subject to the Geneva Convention. Through small
moments and steady pacing, both Cole and Ali go
through transformations.
Stewart is right for the
role; starting as a stonecold mask of military detachment, slowly warming
up with cracks of vulnerability.

B10 THE GREER CITIZEN
WEDDING
Elise Danae Cox and Robert Kladivko Wiesner
Cox Wiesner
The marriage vows repeated between Elise Danae Cox, of Taylors, and
Robert Kladivko Wiesner,
of Greenville, were heard
by the Rev. Andy Lewis at
Mitchell Road Presbyterian
Church in Greenville, on
April 11, 2015.
Guests were greeted
during a dinner and dance
reception at The Loom at
Cotton Mill Place in Simpsonville following the 4
p.m. ceremony.
The parents of the
groom hosted the rehearsal dinner on Friday
evening, April 10, 2015, at
City Range.
The bride, given in marriage by her father, is the
daughter of Jim and Charlene Cox, of Taylors, and
granddaughter of Jimmy
and Jean Cox, of Taylors,
and Charles and Rosemary
Reed, of Taylors. A 2011
graduate of Blue Ridge
High School and 2014
graduate of Clemson University with a BA degree in
Spanish and international
trade, the bride is employed by Salle and Galloway Law Firm.
The groom is the son of
Deb Kladivko, of Aiken,
Bob Wiesner, of Aiken, and
grandson of Mr. and Mrs.
David Kladivko, of Aiken.
Mr. Wiesner, a 2009 of
Aiken High School and
2013 graduate of Clemson University with a BS
degree in mechanical engineering, is employed by
General Electric.
For her wedding, the
bride selected a strapless
gown styled with an Empire waistline. Hand-beaded lace with ruching detail
at the bodice fell into a
flowing chiffon skirt and

complementing
chapel
train.
She wore a single tiered
mid-length veil of tulle
edged with a scattering of
satin bows.
To complete her ensemble, she carried a French
nosegay of orange Gerbera
and purple Lysianthus
wrapped with turquoise
satin ribbon.
Her sister, Casey Cox, as
her maid of honor, stood
with Rebecca Carver, sister of the groom, Darby
Woodard and Maranda
Williams as bridesmaids.
Their
French-styled
nosegays of orange Gerbera and white Lysianthus wrapped in white
lace burlap ribbon created
an attractive contrast to
their short mesh dresses
fashioned with Sweetheart
rushed bodices.
Programs were given to
guests upon their arrival
by Danae Ferguson, while
Bayley Betsill, cousin of
the bride, invited those attending to sign the guest
book.
The father of the groom
attended his son as his
best man. Groomsmen
included Daniel Carver,
brother-in-law
of
the
groom, Caleb Cox, brother
of the bride, and Jonathan
Cochran, as groomsmen.
Drew Ferguson, Josh
