City to host Halloween events

Its just a great way to get that cohesive
Halloween
festivities
kick off in downtown
Greer next week, and there
will be plenty of candy to
show for it.
Halloween Hoopla and
Halloween in Greer Station will take place on two
different nights, but both
events plan to serve thousands of trick-or-treaters.
Hosted by the Greer Station Association, Halloween in Greer Station will
begin at 5 p.m. next Tuesday on Trade Street.
Itll be a slightly larger
version of what it was last
year, said Kyle Mensing
with the Greer Development Corporation. The
emphasis is on trick-ortreating, which starts at
5 p.m. That will last until
the candy runs out.
We hope to have even
more businesses participating this year than did
last year, he said.
feeling with the Greer community.

Greer Development Corporation

The event will feature
a dance performance by
Dance Visions at around
5:30 p.m.
The focus of the event
will be on Trade Street,
but well have Poinsett
merchants taking part as
well, Mensing said. Well
have Trade Street blocked
off, and well be working
on some ways of making
sure the crossings (between Poinsett and Trade)
are safe and easy.
Mensing said reception to trick-or-treating
on Trade has been overwhelmingly positive in the
past.
Its been phenomenal,
Mensing said. The event
has grown steadily and

we probably had around
1,000 kids trick-or-treating last year. It seems that
the biggest events we do
are always the family-focused events.
The Greer Station Association exists for downtown merchants, which
Mensing says will benefit
from the exposure.
We always want to do
things that benefit our
merchants and increase
their exposure, he said.
Just looking at the sheer
amount of people that
come down, a lot of the
businesses look at this as
a phenomenal marketing
opportunity. Last year, I
heard people say it was

their first time in downtown Greer and they were
surprised by what we had
to offer. Its just a great
way to get that cohesive
feeling with the Greer
community. The community has a great habit of
supporting local businesses, so this is a way for the
businesses to do something for the community.

Local residents and city

officials hope to have their
voices heard as the GPATS
(Greenville-Pickens Area
Transportation
Study)
continues with its longrange transportation plan,
Horizon2040.
The City of Greer hosted
a sub-regional meeting
Monday evening, giving
attendees the opportunity
to highlight transportation
issues in the area.
I just wanted to check
out what the future plans
were, said Greer resident
John Bohannon. I just
moved to the area, so I
wanted to see what the
governments plan was for
30 years from now.
Bohannon was one of the
many residents scanning
maps, marking problem
areas and leaving notes for
suggested improvements.
Greer is going in a good
direction, Bohannon said.
The more infrastructure
we can put in place to support pedestrians and bikers, the better. You look
at Greenville and what
theyve done, I think Greer
can borrow some ideas
and adapt them to fit the
area.
The Greer meeting was
one of eight sub-regional
meetings set by GPATS to
gather information for the

Residents and city officials gathered at City Hall Monday evening to discuss transportation
needs in the Greater Greer area.
long-range plan.
With transportation issues, probably more so
than community planning
issues, theres a great deal
of expertise involved,
Greer Mayor Rick Danner
said. While citizen input
is good to identify problem areas, there needs to
be a level of expertise applied to the solutions.
Danner said planning
for future transportation
improvements is going to
require forward thinking.
One of the biggest is-
sues were going to face

is a pending change in the
way we do transportation,
he said. When you look
at how fast technology is
changing, I really think it
behooves us to consider
what transportation is going to look like in the next
20 years.
This whole idea of
building more and more
roads for the next 25 years,
I dont think, is going to
be a wise usage of our
money, Danner added.
We need to start thinking
about how autonomous vehicles are going to change

the way we move about.
How is car share going to
change the way we look at
transportation? What effect is that going to have
on public transportation?
Do we need more roads or
less roads in the future?
We need to be forward
thinking when it comes to
the changes we need over
the next 20 or 25 years.
Greer Planning and Zoning Coordinator Glenn
Pace said there are several
problem areas in Greer already.

Brushy Creek Road is a
prime example, Pace said.
It greatly needs improvement. You saw the improvements on Hammett
Bridge Road and it made
that road a lot better, but
there are still issues there
when you consider that
you have two schools and
a shopping center there
now.
These dont need to
be four-lane highways,
but they do need some
improvements, he said.
Turning lanes and traffic
signals are certainly not
the cure for everything,
but you still have to look
forward with some of
those solutions.
GPATS provides regional
transportation planning
for a 777-square-mile
area that is home to more
than 500,000 residents. Its
primary role is to be the
designated recipient of all
state and federal funds for
transportation projects.
The GPATS Policy Coordinating Committee approves the scheduling of
projects, the allocation of
funds, and helps to guide
the development of the
regions transportation infrastructure.

TFSD continues
sewer repairs
BY KAELYN PFENNING
STAFF WRITER
The Taylors Fire and
Sewer District is continuing to partner with Renewable Water Resources
(ReWa) to resolve sewer
leaks in the area.
At this point, we are on
schedule, said contractor Aaron Frazier, noting
that smoke testing and
manhole inspections in
System 6 have been completed and rehab work has
been identified. Frazier
met with ReWa on Sept. 30
to discuss the schedule,
progress of the work and
future steps. ReWa has
asked Taylors to quantify
the inflow and infiltration
(I/I) entering the moderate
to severe smoke test leaks
and to submit the quantification to ReWa for review.
These moderate to severe I/I leaks are considered to be primarily inflow
(storm cross-connection,
roof drain leak, main sewer leak, service leaks and
cleanouts), Frazier said.
There are 18 moderate to
severe leaks to review.
Frazier Engineering per-
formed additional fieldwork last week.

We plan to have the
quantification (or the
quantification plan) to
ReWa this week along with
a schedule for repairing
the smoke leaks, he said
After the submission
has been reviewed, ReWa
may release additional
subdivisions for construction based on the assurance that the overall I/I reduction goals will be met
within nine to 12 months.
ReWa and I discussed
that this quantification
approach may serve as a
good template moving forward, Frazier said.
In other business, Taylors sewer department is
set to work on sections of
Edwards Road and Brushy
Creek in the coming weeks.
They are going to be at
work over night to avoid
traffic during the day.
This work needs to be
done so that the lines can
be assessed to see if any
repairs need to be made,
Samantha Bartow, Director of Sewer Services said.

Greer Bancshares reports quarter profit

Greer Bancshares Incorporated, parent company
of Greer State Bank, recently reported a net income
attributable to common
shareholders of $850,000
or $0.34 per diluted common share for the quarter
ending Sept. 30.
Those numbers are compared to a net income of
$684,000 or $0.27 per
diluted common share
for the second quarter of
2016.
Year to date net income
attributable to common
shareholders
through
Sept. 30 was $2,195,000 or
$0.88 per diluted common
share, compared to net
income of $2,172,000 or
$0.87 per diluted common
share for the same period
in 2015.
A significant increase in
deposits in 2016 allowed
an opportunity to restructure portions of the banks
balance sheet, which resulted in increased net interest income, said J. Richard Medlock, Jr., president
and CEO. In addition, our
mortgage banking division
produced record results in
the third quarter.
Included in the net income of $2,195,000 in the
first nine months of 2016
were gains on the sale
of investments totaling
$359,000, partially offset
by a prepayment penalty
of $199,000 to repay $5
million of a higher cost
borrowing.
Net investment gains of
$411,000 were realized in

the first nine months of
2015. Following are highlights for the first nine
months of 2016: total deposits increased to $296.1
million, up $20.4 million
since December 31, 2015.
Non-interest bearing deposits accounted for $9.2
million, or 18 percent, of
the increase; borrowings
have been reduced by
$19.1 million since December 31, 2015; total assets increased $4.5 million
in the first nine months of
2016 despite a strategic
balance sheet reduction
of $5 million related to a
reduction in borrowings
that was executed in the
second quarter; and an annual cash dividend of 20
cents per share was paid

to shareholders during the
second quarter.

OPINION
The Greer Citizen
Women of a certain age
ost people, I should think, monitor

their recovery from a broken bone
or sprain by noticing an increased
strength or flexibility in their range of
motion during perhaps a golf swing,
knitting, or simply carrying a bag of
groceries.
And then theres farm chicks. We
check our recovery by the ability to
unload a pick-up truck load of hay,
climb onto the tractor seat, or chase the
neighbors pitbull out of the pasture.
My own breakthrough was pretty
much right at four weeks post-op for a
displaced wrist fracture and trashed soft
tissue, making my stiff, swollen fingers
look like Vienna (and its only funny if
you pronounce the first two letters of
that word as if saying Violin) sausages.
For a month, Ive been doing everything
one-handed and each time I started feeling sorry for myself, I remembered one
of the ER nurses surmising my wrist and
saying, You think thats bad, I broke
both arms at the same time, and had to
wear casts up to my elbow for THREE
MONTHS.
Car crash? I asked.
Nah, she said, advancing the needle
for an injection of pain killer, Fell 20
feet out of a deer stand.
IM JUST
SAYING
PAM STONE
That had to hurt, I said, starting to
drift.
Yeah, it did, she nodded, and let
me tell you, I couldnt do nothing for
myself. Not a thing, and then leaning
in, conspiratorially, and you know, as a
woman-
Alrighty then, yeah, gotcha, I returned to reality with a thud, wanting to
nip that baby in the bud.
I actually loved my short stint in our
local hospital because my other nurse
was married to a retired rodeo clown
(I know, right?) both whom Id just
interviewed while performing color
commentary at the Tryon International
Equestrian Center not two weeks before,
and she offered his services to help me
with barn chores and horse handling
during my recovery. Without asking him
first, I might add. But how kind! I was
truly touched.
(There were other several funny con-
versations that occurred but Im afraid

Mr Morphine took most of them away.)
Anyway, my breakthrough occurred
because just this week Ive been able to
scoop up a whole pile of manure using
both arms instead of just my right arm,
pitchfork crammed between my waist
and elbow, for stability. And a pile of
manure, particularly if the horse is well
hydrated and over 16 hands, results in
easily feeling the same weight as a big
cantaloupe on the tines of the pitchfork.
Just ask my vet.
Oh, and speaking of my vet, she was
also gauging her strength in terms of a
slight decline due to suspected arthritis
in her shoulder.
With empathy, I asked, Is that from a
fall from a horse, or something?
No, she explained, as she gave my
horse his annual rabies shot, its from
rectalling pregnant mares for 25 years
and getting knocked around. It used to
be where I could pull out a big pile (now
stop wincing, reader, for heavens sake,
she wears a glove. I mean, a long glove.
Basically, a wader) and lob it over a wash
rack, right into the manure bucket, but
lately, all I can do is plop it a few feet
over.
Did you tell that to you doc? I asked.
Yep.
Whatd they say?
Didnt bat an eye.
Which is why I kind of feel sorry for
city doctors. While the majority of their
practices are probably taken up with
the result of lifestyle choices and an
occasional skateboard or paring knife accident, the practice of a country doctor
lends to far more entertaining cocktail
party stories. The best being right after
I broke my arm, and receiving an email
from another vet and local horsewoman
who was kind enough to wish me healing and then jokingly wrote, Guess we
wont be riding together anytime soon,
after which she listed her injuries as
she lay in hospital, the result of being
catapulted from the saddle at warp
speed by a spooking, spinning horse
and slammed into a huge, metal culvert
pipe, only then to roll over the top of it
into a briar patch: 5 broken ribs, broken
shoulder blade, and pneumothorax from
lung injury.
Day-um.
And all of us are women of a certain
age. I wouldnt for a moment include us
in the revered greatest generation, but
you know something? Id say we broads
might just be on deck.

Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV)
A new member joined the
staff of the European Bible Institute. This young colleague
was gifted and outgoing, and
she would eventually take
over some of my responsibilities. I found myself confronted with a choice: I could
become bitter and jealous,
or I could adopt a positive
attitude.
While I was reading Deuteronomy 3, my attention was
drawn to Gods exhortation
to Moses concerning Joshua,
his successor: Encourage and
strengthen him(Deut.3:28).
This was Gods personal
word to me: encourage my
new colleague even more,
point out her strong points to
the director. With the Lords
help and grace, I decided to
support this colleague, who is
now also a friend.
I needed the help of the
Lord to keep encouraging her,
especially when she was given
some of the responsibilities
I really enjoyed. One way the
Lord has encouraged me is
through the apostle Pauls
confession in scripture: I
know that good itself does
not dwell.in my sinful
nature. For I have the desire
to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out (Rom. 7:18).
I am grateful for my Lord
who works in us all through
the Spirit to will and to act
in order to fulfill his good
purpose (Phil. 2:13).

The 2016 presidential election season has not

been kind to values voters. Its hard to imagine how America can recapture its place as a
shining city on hill when most campaign coverage is about sex, lies and videotape. Values
voters may be tempted to tune out in disgust
and stay home on Election Day, but they have
an obligation to weigh necessity against their
wishes. Catholics and Protestant evangelicals
alone comprise half of the U.S. population and
together very nearly hold the votes to choose
the nations president. They can hold their noses in the voting booth and count on their hearts
to make the right choice.
Among the emails made public last week by
WikiLeaks was an exchange between John Podesta, a Catholic and the Clinton campaign
chairman, and a left-wing Catholic activist who
wants to start a revolution within the Roman
Catholic Church. There needs to be a Catholic Spring, wrote Sandy Newman, president of
Voices for Progress, in which Catholics themselves demand the end of a middle-ages dictatorship and the beginning of a little democracy
and respect for gender equality in the Catholic
Church.
Mr. Podesta agreed with an affirmation that
plans for the revolution are in the works: We
created Catholics in Alliance for the Common
Good to organize for a moment like this. But I
think it lacks the leadership to do so now. Likewise, Catholics United. Like most Spring movements, I think this one will have to be bottom
up. The spring reference refers to the Arab
Spring, a proliferation of dissent that spread
across the Islamic Middle East and set off armed
conflict in Libya, Iraq, Yemen and most recently
and destructively, in Syria.
Catholics should beware that Mrs. Clintons
election would embolden her scheming allies
to foment change within the Catholic Church
to match their secular views on gender equality and other core beliefs, including the right to
life. Hillary says support for Roe v. Wade would

be a litmus test for any nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court. Heretofore, no president has admitted to applying a litmus test, even when he
does in fact apply one.
Many evangelicals scourge values voters for
sticking with Donald Trump following the Access Hollywood video that recorded his boasts
of vulgar behavior toward women. In a National
Review essay titled Evangelicals without standards, Rich Lowry accuses such evangelicals of
using the King David defense, the kings lessthan-sincere repentance for adultery. Davids
one night of lust with Bathsheba, told in the Biblical books of Samuel and Kings, was a calamity
for his Israelite kingdom, and Mr. Lowry suggests the evangelicals who stick with the Donald find themselves defending the indefensible
and they are doing it for a campaign that is
sinking, more than anything else, from the character flaws of the candidate.
Mr. Lowry is right, of course. Mr. Trumps
locker room talk is repugnant and hes clearly
an apprentice at repentance. But his supporters
are not chipping away at the nations religious
foundation. Hillarys are, with hammer, chisel
and maul. Theres more in the Bible story: Despite his sinful behavior, David still became
the progenitor of Judaism and from his flawed
earthly lineage came the Messiah.

all is finally here.

Colorful leaves, hot apple
cider and cool mornings
are truly a blessing to behold.
Hayrides, fall festivals and bonfires draw family and friends
together.
Each season holds reasons to
give thanks and challenges to
cause growth.
In this season, I am thankful for nearby family, good
friends, warm cups of tea, cozy
blankets and shelter. Some
challenges include sickness
and busy-ness.
With the hustle and bustle of
this time of year, it is good to
pause.
Psalm 46:10 says, Be still,
and know that I am God. I will
be exalted among the nations, I
will be exalted in the earth!
Take time this autumn to
gaze at the expanse of stars
overhead.
Psalm 147:4 says, He determines the number of the stars;
he gives to all of them their
names.
Stop to appreciate the beauty
of a sunrise or sunset.
Psalm 113:3 says, From
the rising of the sun to its
setting, the name of the Lord
is to be praised!
Spend a moment sitting near
a fountain, by a river or at a
lake.
Psalm 36:7-9 says, How precious is your steadfast love, O
God! The children of mankind
take refuge in the shadow of
your wings. They feast on the
abundance of your house, and
you give them drink from the
river of your delights. For with
you is the fountain of life; in
your light do we see light.
Explore the outdoors by hiking in the woods, playing in a
field or picking a pretty flower
for a loved one.
Psalm 96:11-13 says, Let the
heavens be glad, and let the
earth rejoice; let the sea roar,
and all that fills it; let the
field exult, and everything in
it! Then shall all the trees of
the forest sing for joy before
the Lord, for he comes, for
he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world
in righteousness, and the
peoples in his faithfulness.
Reflect on the Creator who
spoke into existence the
universe.
Hebrews 11:3 says, By faith
we understand that the universe was created by the word
of God, so that what is seen
was not made out of things
that are visible.

he continued. If I dont
have time to do this right,
I dont want to do it.
Wood
has
attended
council meetings since
he was asked to serve on
the zoning commission 22
years ago.
Im looking forward to
learning from the folks on
council and working with
them as we move forward,
Wood said. Their plates
full, and Im new. My job
is to assimilate with the
group, get to know them,
let them get to know me
and us just work in harmony and work together
and do our best to serve
the town as were tasked
to do and to serve the employees and help them.
Born and raised in the
area, Wood grew up in
Duncan. He lived in District Five his whole life
and bought his first house
in Lyman when he got
married.
Ive lived in Lyman city
limits ever since, he said.
Lyman is a very special
town with a lot of special
people through the years
that have allowed it to stay
that way. I think thats part
of the process is to want
to give back through your
church and through your
local government if you
have those interests.
Wood worked as a teacher in his late 20s when he
began his service on the
zoning commission.
There were a lot of gentlemen who were probably
the age I am now, he said.
They were my dads age,
but it was fun to get in
there with them and learn
the processes and then
over time, as folks rotated
off, I agreed to take the
chairmanship.
Ive enjoyed interacting with people and trying
to work with the zoning
ordinances and trying to
help them to understand
the towns stance and just
working with the town and
the public to implement
our zoning ordinance,
Wood continued. Our job
is to listen to requests.
Then, we chose whether or
not to forward that request
to the council, but council
ultimately decides to grant
or deny a request.
Part of the job includes
maintaining relationships,
updating the zoning ordinance and implementing
the ordinance.
Youre a group of volunteers who are there trying
to help the town by listening to peoples requests,
and sometimes people
feel passionately about a
request, Wood said, and
the challenge is to listen
and treat people with dignity and respect and try to
implement the ordinance
as good as you can and at
the same time go before
council and make your

recommendation.
Its issues not personalities, he said. I think
thats a challenge any time
you work in public life, to
stay focused on the issue
and try to reach a resolution rather than focus on
personalities.
Growing up in the area,
Wood attended Duncan
D. R. Hill, Byrnes and Furman University where he
learned the value of hard
work.
Thats something Ive
learned from my parents,
Wood said, to work hard
and try to treat people
with respect and be kind
to them. Its something
you learn as a way of life.
Out of 2,442 registered
voters in Lyman, 132 votes
were cast at the special
election on October 11 to
fill the vacant council seat.
Jane Entrekin received 17
votes. Becky Martin received 11 votes, which tied
with the write-in votes.
Will Blanton received six
votes.

Scary stories
Residents in Greer gathered at the Greer Depot Tuesday
evening for ghost tales told by Joada Hiatt. The tour ended
at the Greer Heritage Museum.
Oct. 29 from 4-8 p.m.

This is a neat opportunity for us, said Trevor
Hoffman, teaching pastor
at TCGS. Were always trying to make Greer a better
place and folks have responded really well to this
and have provided tons
and tons of candy. Were
excited about serving the
city.
The Hoopla will feature
games, trick-or-treating,
inflatables, a food truck,
crafts and a photo booth.
A movie will also be shown
at the Amphitheatre.
Were happy to carry a
tradition thats become a
beloved and well received
tradition, Hoffman said.
It should be a fun time.

The Greer Citizen
Chief Flowers becomes Executive Fire Officer

BY KAELYN PFENNING
STAFF WRITER
Greer City Council recently recognized its fire
chief, Dorian Flowers, for
successfully completing
the Executive Fire Officer
Program, offered by the
Federal Emergency Management Agencys National Fire Academy.
When Chief Flowers
joined us a little over a
year ago, particularly during the interview process,
one of the things that was
extremely important to
him was the ability to be
able to complete this program, said Greer City Administrator Ed Driggers.
He had completed three
of the four years that are
required in this program.
We believe that us providing the resources for
him to be able to complete
this program was critically in his advancement
and his career development, but we also believe
that will pay dividends for
many, many years within
our own department,
Driggers continued. Long,
long gone are the days that
we wait in the station for a
fire. Being on top of your
game and understanding
the most advanced technologies that are available
in fire science and in fire
fighting, its critical for
us.

and Driggers presented
Flowers with a certificate,
pointing out the sacrifices
required to complete the
four-year course.
This is a lengthy and
challenging program that
Chief Flowers began before
joining the City of Greer,
Driggers said. It required
time away from his family and significant travel
over a four year period.
His dedication to completing the program will now
benefit the City of Greer
through his enhanced
leadership skills and overall risk reduction.
Each of the four courses
in the Executive Fire Officer Program was presented over a two-week

period. Within six months
of the completion of each
course, students were required to submit an applied research project to
demonstrate application
of course theory and concepts to real life situations
in their organizations.
I would just like to say,
thank you, obviously to the
city of its support, Chief
Flowers said. It takes two
weeks every year during
the four program. Then,
you have six months to
complete an applied re-
search project, and those

projects were designed to
help you have real world
experience back in your
department.
Courses covered executive development, executive analysis of community
risk reduction, executive
analysis of fire service
operations in emergency
management, and executive leadership. Students
are selected for the program based on service and
academic requirements.

Fire Officer Program is designed to provide senior

Police incident report, an
officer responded to Great
Clips on 1361 W. Wade
Hampton Blvd. in reference to a shoplifting in
progress.
Upon arrival, the officer
spoke with a store employee who stated Trotter had taken several hair
products off the shelf and
had placed them in her
purse. When asked about
the claims, Trotter stated
she had purchased the
hair products from WalMart and that police could

ASSAULT
On Oct. 17, A Spartanburg County deputy was

dispatched to Hwy. 417 in
Spartanburg County in reference to a disturbance.
Upon arrival, the officer spoke with the female
complainant/victim, who
stated her son, Roy Lewis
Johnson, Jr. came banging
on her bedroom window
yelling for her to let him
in the house. She refused,
so he went to the kitchen
door. He then kicked in
the door and began to assault her by throwing her
around the kitchen and
choking her. This assault
led to a mark on her neck
just above her left clavicle
and she complained about
other injuries in areas
around her left breast and
back.
He stopped for an unstated reason, at which
time she called 911. He
knocked the phone out of
her hand, causing the battery to release from the
phone and could not be
located. Once he realized
that she called 911, he left
the residence through the
kitchen door and ran into
the woods behind the residence.
After a few moments
perspective on various
facets of fire administration. This program provides fire service officers
with the expertise they
need to succeed in todays
challenging environment,
said U.S. Fire Administrator Ernest Mitchell Jr. It
is important that these senior fire executives apply
what they have learned
in the classroom to existing situations in their own
communities.
Mitchell said the overall
program provides senior
fire officers with a broad
perspective on various facets of fire and emergency
services administration.
The courses and accompanying research examine
how to exercise leadership
when dealing with difficult
or unique problems within
communities.
After graduate school,
I was looking for a program in which I could use
much of what I learned in
the Masters of Public Administration program and
wrap it back into the fire
service. The Executive Fire
Officer Program through
the National Fire Academy is a four-year graduate level program and is
well respected within the
fire service community,
Chief Flowers said. The
program gives the student
tools to analyze opportunities within their own department in an organized
way so meaningful change

may be obtained.
The program absolutely
met and exceeded my expectations, Chief Flowers
continued. In addition to
the skills and knowledge
gained through the program, the program has allowed me the opportunity
to network with people
from across the country.
This will allow me to use
the contacts Ive made to
collaborate with on projects and issues that we
embark on here at the
city.
Flowers assumed command of the Greer Fire
Department in May of
2015. His nearly 25 years
of experience in the fire
service includes duties
as a firefighter with the
Ogden and Wilmington
fire departments in North
Carolina, fire captain with
the New Hanover County
(N.C.) Fire Department,
and Fire Chief of the Hendersonville (N.C.) Fire Department before coming
to Greer.
He holds a masters degree in public administration from Anna Maria College, a bachelor of science
in business administration
from Mount Olive College,
and an associate of applied science in fire science
technology from Pikes
Peak Community College.

Johnson Jr. and arrested
him. He was initially uncooperative with them, but
eventually became compliant and was transported to
the County Jail per policy.
Warrants were signed
for burglary first degree
and assault and battery

Prior to booking, the son
told deputies that he had a

to not bring charges for
the marijuana and it was
placed into evidence to be
destroyed.

much he had, he stated
probably 2-3 grams. The
driver then handed the officer a clear glassine baggy
containing green plant material. A field weight of the
marijuana on two separate
sets of digital scales was
7.6 grams.
A
further
probable

revealed
approximately
seven bottles of full, or
partially full, of liquor.
The bottles were located
in a black plastic bag on
the front passenger floorboard. The officer also
found an unmarked prescription pill bottle containing four round white
pills in the drivers side
door panel. Martin stated
that the vehicle belonged
to his girlfriend and that
the pills were hers that
she has a prescription.
Martin claimed that the
marijuana was his and he
was issued a citation for
simple possession of marijuana. Both Martin and
Phillips claimed responsibility for the alcohol. Due
to both subjects being under 21 years old, Martin
and Phillips were issued
citations for minor in possession of alcohol.
Martin and Phillips were
instructed to pour out
the bottles of alcohol and
clean up the trash. They
were then released on the
citations.

Will face Gaffney
BY BILLY CANNADA
SPORTS EDITOR
Snapping a five-game
losing skid, Byrnes topped
Nation Ford last week at
Nixon Field, 42-27.
Sophomore quarterback
Brock Carroll was crucial
in the win, completing
16 passes for 222 yards,
three passing touchdowns
and one touchdown on the
ground
All three of those touchdowns went to Demarcus
Gregory, who had nine
catches for 138 yards.
Freshman running back
Rahjai Harris punched in
two touchdowns of his
own on the night. Harris
rushed for a total of 146
yards on just 14 carries.
Despite their struggles
this season, the Rebels
still have a shot at making
the playoffs with games
against Gaffney and Dorman remaining on the
schedule.
Gaffney is currently 0-2
in conference play, following a recent loss to Boiling
Springs. A win on Friday
night would potentially
put Byrnes in the postseason.
Kickoff is set for 7:30
p.m. at Nixon Field.
Jackets fall to Greenville
BLAME
CANNADA
BY LELAND BURCH
FOR THE GREER CITIZEN
BILLY
CANNADA
Greer paid the price for

an extraordinary number
of mistakes Friday night
when Greenville snapped
the Yellow Jackets fivegame winning streak, 3514, on the road at Sirrine
Stadium.
Three turnovers, penalties and poor tackling were
similar to Greers sloppy
fall at Byrnes in the second game of the season.
We sure didnt take a step
forward tonight. Greenville has a good team, but
we made way too many
mistakes defensively and
mental errors on offense,
said Greer Coach Will
Young.
Another issue was the
loss of starting safety
Richie Sadler who sat out
with an injury. That was
like removing a block from
the foundation and causing a building to collapse.
To fill the void in the secondary, Greer pressed running backs, Quay White
and Dre Williams into full
time special teams and defensive duty.
It was too much to ask of
them, but we had no other
option, Young explained.
White missed much of the
third quarter with cramps
after having rushed for
123 yards in the first half,
and Williams got only two
carries after suffering a
bruise that caused a loss
of feeling in his hand. We
didnt have either one in
the third quarter when
we might have turned the
game around, he said.
Another issue was failing
to take advantage of scoring opportunities. Greer
had first downs on the Red
Raiders 11, 31, and 26yard lines in the first half
and failed to score each
time. We were unable to
make some plays that we
were making earlier in the
season, Young said.
Adding to the Yellow
Jackets woes were two
fumbled punts. Those
really hurt because they
set up Greenville touchdowns, Young noted. But
I hope this game will be a
learning experience, and
our kids will bounce back
and move on.
On Greers opening possession, White rushed for
62 yards to power the Yellow Jackets from their own
eight to the Greenville 11.
But the Raiders held when

Jacket Bowl
BY LELAND BURCH
FOR THE GREER CITIZEN
Greer vs. Union County
football games are known
as Jacket Bowls, not only
because they match Yellow
Jackets vs. Yellow Jackets,
but also because nearly
every contest is high scoring, down-to-the-wire, and
with much riding on it.
The upcoming 49th.
Jacket Bowl, this Friday at
7:30 p.m. at Union County
Stadium, has all makings
of another titanic struggle.
Both teams appear as evenly matched as ever, like
last fall when Greer won
the regular season game
and Union won the playoff
contest. Greer and Union
are currently 2-0 in Region Two with the winner
likely to claim the championship and home field
advantage for the playoff
opener. Both teams have
scored and given up tons
of points.
This is our biggest
game yet. I believe the
winner will be the region
champion, so there is a lot
at stake this week, said
Greer Coach Will Young.
His band of Yellow Jackets
will close out the season
next week against Blue

Ridge while Union plays
a toothless Travelers Rest
squad. I dont know that
it will be a high scoring
game, but it will be close,
no different from all the
rest, he added.
This is our biggest

game yet. I believe
the winner will
be the region
champion, so there
is a lot at stake this
week.
Will Young
Greer head coach

Greer is coming off
a mistake-filled loss to
Greenville in a non-region
game, and Young said
we obviously have a lot
of corrections to make in
practice this week, especially because Union is one
of the better teams on our
schedule.
Eastside is the only common foe thus far. Union
defeated the Eagles 34-15
while Greer took a 43-20
win at Eastside. Union has
also defeated Blue Ridge
(46-3, last week), York
and Chapman while losing

to Gaffney, Spartanburg,
Ridge View and Boiling
Springs.
Union features one of
the states top football
players, wide receiver Shi
Smith who is committed
to the University of South
Carolina. You cant just
focus on Smith, though,
because all of their other
receivers are good, Young
warns.
He said Union operates
a spread offense, but
they do much more than
most spread teams. They
will run an unbalanced
line and a lot of different
formations to confuse the
defense. Their quarterback, Brandon Thompson,
throws the ball well, and
Union can run it too.
Greer hopes to have
Richie Saddler back after
the junior safety sat out
the Greenville game with
an injury. His absence
caused a reshuffling in
the Greer secondary, forcing both offensive running
backs, Quay White and
Dre Williams, to do double
duty. We cant continue
that situation, because
we are too thin at running
back, Young said. Obviously we hope Saddler will
be ready this week, but we
have get another defensive
back ready in practice this

The Warriors picked
up another tough region
loss last Friday, falling to
Laurens 25-9 in their final
home game of the season.
Riverside is now 3-5
overall with an 0-3 mark
in the conference.
After giving up a score
on the first drive of the
game, Riverside struck
back quickly as the Warriors found the end zone
on a long pass from Logan

DiBenedetto to Brooks
OBrien
We were playing well,
head coach Phil Smith
said. But, eventually, we
couldnt get off the field
on third downs and that
really hurt us. Our kids
played hard the whole
game, but we just struggled to get the ball in the
end zone.
DiBenedetto was returning after two weeks off
with a concussion. He was
joined by Ali Alsayed and
Matt Elliott, who were also
coming off injuries.
Smith said he knew Laurens would be a difficult
matchup going in.

We knew they were big
and they were going to
look to run the ball, but I
thought we played pretty
well defensively, Smith
said. We had some guys
back from injuries, which
really helped us.
Despite the scoreboard,
Smith said he was proud
of the way his team moved
the ball.
It was one of our better offensive games of the
season, he said. Having
Logan back really helped
our offense and he really
did a great job of making
good decisions.

Both teams have their

sights set on the playoffs
and a second region win,
as Eastside prepares to
host Blue Ridge Friday
night.
The Eagles are coming
off a dominating performance against Travelers
Rest. Quarterback Jordan
Morgan threw for seven
touchdowns during the

teams 69-7 win, but the
Eagles arent lingering on
their recent success.
We have another very
big obstacle in our way in
Blue Ridge, Eastside head
coach Steve Wilson said.
We went up there and
upset them last year, so I
know theyve been talking
about that game. Theyre
going to come in here
fired up and ready and we
know they are playing for
a playoff spot as well.
It could be a very big
win for us, and we realize
that, he said. We have
SEE SHOWDOWN | B3
here are two types of

people in this world.
There are those that
could celebrate Christmas for six months each
year and not blink an eye
and there are those that
will lose their marbles if
you try to get holly jolly
before Black Friday.
Theres really no in
between.
I happen to fall in the
former category, being a
lover of all things Christmas.
You cant beat it. December is far too short a
month to try to squeeze
in all of your holiday
celebrations, so why try?
I dont need ABC Family
telling me what Christmas movie to watch on a
particular day. If I want
to pull out Home Alone in
August, you better believe
Im going to. Its America,
for crying out loud. The
same goes for music.
The wife and I crank
Christmas tunes in midOctober, skipping past
Halloween and Thanksgiving all together. I dont
know who decided to put
all three holidays at the
end of the year anyway.
We go all year with hardly
a holiday to celebrate,
then youre going to try to
jam three of them down
my throat?
Dont get me wrong, Ill
still humor those holidays. Ill toss out some
candy to a few trick-ortreaters. Ill eat more turkey than a human probably should in November.
But why not get straight
to the point?
Thanksgiving and Halloween are simply primer
holidays.
Halloween is especially uninteresting for
me, although Ive been
known to enjoy a good
horror flick. Im not in
high school or college
anymore, so dressing up
in funny outfits with my
friends isnt going to do
much for me. It was OK
when you were young, but
Halloween costumes come
with an age limit and Im
sure Ive surpassed it.
Plus, with all the creepy
clowns lurking around in
the woods, who in their
right mind would think
now is the time to dress
up?
On the other hand, I
dont have many complaints about Thanksgiving. You give me my
grandmas cooking, football and a day to nap--Im
good. That sounds like a
holiday made just for me.
But, people treat it like
its Christmas rival. Its
a good day and all, but
Christmas offers more
depth. I say just celebrate
the two simultaneously.
Greer has been known
to agree with me, too.
Pretty soon, youll start to
see those familiar street
light decorations on Wade
Hampton and downtown.
Christmas tunes will start
playing on the radio in
early November. Why
wouldnt you want this?
Arent all these other
holidays a formality?
You dont have to celebrate early with me, but
youre life is going to be
darker if you dont. Why?
Because Christmas is awesome.
To quote the Ebenezer
Scrooges famous nephew
Fred (Im quoting the
Muppets version of this
movie, obviously): Christmas is a loving, honest
and charitable time. And
although it has never put
a scrap of gold in pocket,
Christmas has done me
good and will do me good,
so I say God bless it.
Youre darn right Fred.
God bless it.

The Warriors will face

Greenwood next, an 8-1
team at the top of the region standings.
Going into this week,
weve got a tough matchup
with Greenwood, Smith
said. Theyre the front
runners in the region right
now, so its going to be another big challenge.
Smith said he believes
his team will have a tough
time with Greenwoods
size.
Theyre big on defense,
he said. Theyre based out
of a 4-3 and run a spread
on offense, but they also
mix up their formations
pretty well. We just have
to be able to stop their
quarterback. Their quarterback can really hurt you
with his feet, so we have to
be disciplined.
Although the Warriors
are winless in region play,
Smith believes his teams
best football is still ahead.
I tell our guys all the
time not to get used to
losing, Smith said. Something has to change when
we lose. It has to hurt and
when it starts to hurt, it
means were turning a
corner. Its a tough task to
go on the road against the
front-runners in the region, but our guys havent
backed down from anybody and they are going to
play their hearts out.
Hunters touchdowns lead to win

Will Hunter threw for
two touchdowns and ran
for another while NGUs
defense held the Tusculum offense to 199-yards,
carrying the Crusaders to a
dominating 31-7 win over
the Pioneers of the South
Atlantic Conference.
North Greenvilles offense was an impressive
10 of 16 (63-percent) on
third downs while the defense allowed just three
conversions on 13 tries
for the Pioneers. The Crusaders totaled 465-yards
of total offense, equaling
the season high set two
weeks ago against Mars
Hill. Saturdays win was
the third consecutive over
Tusculum.
The Crusaders shrugged
off a slow start in the first
quarter after an early penalty and a three-plays-andout led to the games first
touchdown. The Pioneers
drove 57-yards in five
plays to take a 7-0 lead,
CRUSADER
CORNER
draining four minutes off
the clock.
The Crusaders answered
on their next drive with a
field goal to cut the Tusculum lead to four points
as Matt Gravely connected
from 45-yards out for his
fifth field goal of the season and fourth field goal
of more than 40-yards.
NGUs defense would
begin to settle in after the
Gravely field goal, forcing the Pioneers to punt
on their next two drives.
Tusculum averaged just
two yards on its next two
drives, including a threeplay drive that included
three plays with a loss.
Johnny Burch would force
the second TC punt after a
sack on third and long.
North Greenvilles defense set the tone heading

into the second quarter
and the offense began to
follow suit. The Crusaders
turned the third Tusculum
punt into their first touchdown of the game as Will
Hunter snuck it in from
one-yard out to give NGU
a 10-7 lead after the extra
point. The touchdown was
set up by Tristan Jackson
who got the ball inside the
five-yard-line on the previous play with a nice nineyard run. Hunter put the
exclamation point on the
longest drive of the day for
NGU which spanned 2:54
as the Crusaders marched
57-yards on nine plays.
The defenses would rule
the next two drives as
each offense was forced to
punt. The Crusaders would
rely on punter Bobby Foos
during the first half, but
the sophomore would also
come up big on the offensive end. The tight end/
punter for the Crusaders

didnt catch a pass in all of
the 2015 season now has
two touchdown receptions
this year after hooking up
with Will Hunter for a 64yard catch and run which
extended the North Greenville lead to 17-7.
The Crusaders would
tack on two more touchdowns in the second half
Mason Sanders caught a
17-yard touchdown pass
while Tracy Scott added
to his season total with
a team-high 10th touchdown. Scott capped an
81-yard drive with a 24yard touchdown run in the
fourth quarter to extend
North Greenvilles lead to
31-7.
North Greenville averaged 6.5-yards per play
on Saturday while the defense held the Pioneers to
a 3.8 average. The Crusader defense held Tusculum
to just 68-yards on the
ground.
JACKETS: Struggle on road against Greenville High

FROM B1
linebacker Lutwon Bruton

sacked Greer quarterback
Trey Houston on fourth
down.
The
Yellow
Jackets
forced a short kick to
start the next series at the
Greenville 31 yard line but
gained only five yards in
four downs.
When another Greer
drive stalled at the 26yard line, the Red Raiders drew first blood. Tydricus Hellams gathered
a pass from Davis Beville
and broke two tackles en
route to a 55-yard touchdown. A poor center snap
foiled the extra point try,
but Greenville led 6-0 with
5:12 remaining in the first
half.
LEAD WAS SHORT-LIVED
Greer
promptly
answered with a 57-yard
scoring drive as White
rushed for 37 yards, and
Houston hooked up with
Alex Syphertt for a 14yard touchdown pass. Andres Tore kicked the extra
point to give the Yellow
Jackets a short-lived 7-6
lead.
The game turned around
just before halftime when
Cameron Kelley fumbled
a punt that Jenkins recovered at the Greer 40-yard
line. From there, the Red
Raiders scored in less
than a minute as Beville
completed two passes before Jahmein Dendy ran
the final seven yards to

the end zone with: 17 seconds left on the clock. The
hosts then caught Greers
defense flat-footed when
kick holder Kahlab Simmons completed a twopoint conversion pass to
Kaelin Braswell that gave
Greenville a 14-7 halftime
lead and the momentum.
Greenville took advantage of the absence of
Greers offense to open up
a two-touchdown lead late
in the third quarter. Dendy
rambled 39 yards with a
screen pass on secondand-20 from the Greenville
16-yard line to launch the
drive. Three plays later,
Hellams duplicated the
Raiders first touchdown,
scoring from 45 yards out
after catching a pass and
breaking two tackles along
the sidelines. Jake Henegans extra point made it
21-7 with 3:20 left in the
third period.
Greer battled back to
the Red Raiders 30-yard
line on passes of 9 and 11
yards to Chris Quinn and
Kelley and a 15-yard penalty. But the drive fizzled
when Danyaus WilliamsByrd intercepted a Greer
aerial at the Raiders 13yard line.
The last straw fell after
Greer forced a Greenville
punt, but White fumbled
the boot and Joe Christian recovered at the Yellow Jackets 17-yard line.
Greenville scored quickly
when a pass interference
penalty moved the ball

inside the ten, and Beville
delivered a strike to Christian in the end zone. That
made it 28-7 with 8:59 remaining.
Greenville took advantage of another golden
opportunity when the Yellow Jackets failed to make
a first down on a fourthand-12 from their own 14yard line and turned the
ball over. Two plays later
Williams-Byrd scored on a
burst up the middle.
White scored on a 41yard carry for Greer just
two plays later.
The stats were much
closer than the score.
Greer had 15 first downs
on 326 total yards. The
Yellow Jackets rushed for
207 yards and added 119
through the air as Houston completed 18 of 28
passes.
Greenville collected 16
first downs on 348 total yards. The Red Raiders had 118 yards on the
ground while Deville completed 13 of 21 passes for
230 air yards.
Greenville did not have
a turnover, and was penalized six times for 50
yards, all in the second
half. Greer was flagged
eight times for 70 yards
while losing two fumbles
and having a pass intercepted.

Union employs a 4-3
defense, but again it is
different from most defenses. They move their
outside linebackers out of
the box to the edge and
like to blitz them. The
middle linebacker, Debo
Woods, stays put in the
middle to stop the run,
Young said. He added that
Union has a very good
defensive line, just like always. They have a couple
of 300 pound defensive
tackles in A.J. Hunter and
Christian Johnson, both
seniors.
As for becoming more
productive
offensively,
Young said, we really have
to focus on executing, and
try to eliminate turnovers.
We averaged seven yards

and thats not terrible,
but we hurt ourselves a
lot with mistakes that we
have to eliminate.
to work hard if we want

to get this team into the
playoffs.
Blue Ridge dropped a
frustrating game to Union
County last week, failing
to reach the end zone during the 46-3 loss.
The Eagles stole a win
over the Tigers in Blue
Ridge last year, and head
coach Shane Clark knows
his team will have its hands
full again this week.
They are very good and
theyve got speed at a lot
of positions, Clark said.
Their defensive line has
had some success and
teams have had trouble
blocking them. We know
well see some pressure
from them, and we expect
them to be solid on both
sides of the ball.
Eastside will look to the
play of Morgan, along with
standout wide receivers
Chance Pride and T.J. Gist,
for production.
Wilson said he expects
Blue Ridge to go to its
passing game early and
often.
They like to throw the
ball all over the field, Wilson said. Theyve also got
a very good receiver in (Jason Sammons), who had

THE GREER CITIZEN B5
Welch reflects on Greer, battle with cancer

After
receiving
key to city
BY KAELYN PFENNING
STAFF WRITER
Since 2011, Nancy Welch
has been in the fight of her
life. Battling cancer, chemotherapy and radiation,
Welch has learned to take
life as it comes.
Its an ongoing journey,
but its just a bend in the
road, she said.
Welch was diagnosed
with rectal cancer in 2011.
After that, tumors were
found in her liver and
lungs. She is back on chemotherapy now, trying to
fight through the pain.
Im trying to fight (it),
Welch said. When youre
on chemo, you really dont
feel like doing a whole
lot.
Welch
has
received
treatments since 2011
from Gibbs Cancer Center,
which received the funds
raised at the Catwalk for
the Cure event held Oct. 4.
At that event, Welch was
given a key to the city for
her perseverance.
Theyve taken such
good care of me, Welch
said. I was very honored
the other night and totally
surprised.

Mountain State Park.

journey, but its just

Nancy Welch has authored books, starred on television

and has successfully battled cancer since 2011.
Welch moved to Greer in
1966 when her husband
was offered a job. They
have two sons.
Ive been very involved
in Greer ever since we
moved here, Welch said.
Welch attended Greer
football games when her
son played and decided
then, When my sons

Park during last weeks festivities.

Vintage Market.
gone, Im going to come

back.
Over the years, Welch
has tried her hand in writing, broadcasting and local
leadership.
She became a well-known
face with her cooking and
fashion television show.
Before going off the air,
Welch accumulated quite
a few memorable stories.

One time, as she recalls,
Welch held a baby bear
cub with a bottle, and the
cub got closer and closer
to her face until he put
his mouth right on my
cheek. Finally, I got the
bottle back in his mouth,
she said.
The cubs face turned
pink from her makeup,
and her face turned white,
Welch said. Fortunately,
he decided not to bite
down.
It was an adventure
every day, Welch said of
working on live TV. We
had a good laugh every
day.
Welch resigned from TV
in 1988 and worked for
Greenville Technical College, moving to the Benson
Campus before retiring in
2008.
Its been a great place
to raise my family, Welch
said.
In the spring of 2015,
Welch attended a senior
citizens class on fiction
writing at Furman University. As Welch listened to
the instructor, she started
to think, I dont know
that I can do that.
Then, the professor said,
The difference between
truth and fiction is just
a very fine line. The best
way to write fiction is to
start with something that

is sort of familiar with you
and then just put a spin
on it.
Welch wrote her first
fiction book, Allisons List,
based on the list of women
her mother gave to her for
her father to consider for
marriage after her mother
died from cancer 40 years
ago.
Thats the only true
part, Welch said. I made
up the five women he
met.
Fifteen years ago, Welch
attended a high school
class reunion, which inspired her second fiction
book, The Reunion, about
high school sweethearts
who reconnect at a reunion.
They had been sweethearts in high school, and
they meet back at the class
reunion, and as they say,
the story goes from there,
Welch said.
Welch is currently working on her third book,
which is a ghost story.
Its taken me a little
longer to pull this one
together, Welch said. I
finally have finished the
book. The hardest part I
have in writing fiction is
how to end them.
Welch is hoping to get
the book published next
year.
Spirit Week to fund GMC building

BY KAELYN PFENNING
STAFF WRITER
Local students are raising money for their school
as construction continues
to take place at Greer Middle College Charter High
School.
In an effort to fundraise
for the project, Greer Middle College students will
be holding their annual
spirit week from Oct. 2128.
We highly encourage
the community to come,
said Bryson Bargar, Junior Class President of the
2016-17 Student Government.
Kickoff starts on Thursday, Oct. 20 with a fundraiser at Moes in Greer
from 5-8 p.m. The fundraising continues on Friday, Oct. 21 from 4 p.m.
to close at Firehouse, 1205
W. Wade Hampton Blvd.
All of our events are
community friendly, said
Kelley Bailey, Student Government Advisor at Greer
Middle College Charter
High School. Every day,
except for Wednesday, we
have profit shares at various locations.
On Saturday, Oct. 22, a
yard sale, hotdog lunch
and kickball game will
take place from 7:30 a.m.
to 2 p.m. at the Fairview
Softball Fields. Cost to attend is $5 before Oct. 21
or $7 at the door.
Bailey said she and her
fellow students are excited to raise money for a
project that continues to
take shape.
This construction is
very new and exciting,
Bailey said. To see it
coming to fruition is awesome.
Construction started on
July 11, and GMC is having a school-raising or
ground-breaking ceremony on Tuesday, Oct. 25 at
9 a.m.
Its not that promise
and hope any more, Bailey said. Its there.
Events at the school are
planned for students, with
Oct. 24 being Merica Monday, Oct. 25 being Tacky
Tourist Tuesday, Oct. 26
being Heroes vs. Villains
Day, Oct. 27 being NEON
color wars and Oct. 28 being Blazer Pride Day.
We picked items and
events to where its just as
easy for the community to
go as it is for us, Bargar
said.
The culmination is the
Trailer Park Trot from
5-8 p.m. on Friday, Oct.
28, with a trail run, food
trucks, vendors, inflatables and more.

Greer Middle College students will host a spirit week to raise money for the schools
building fund.
At the end of this event,
GMC will release how
much was raised for the
entire week, Bailey said.
Were
aiming
for
$50,000, Bargar said.
Last year, a snowstorm
in January cut short the
spirit week to three days,
Its not that

promise and hope
any more. Its
there.
Kelley Bailey
Student government advisor

Bargar said, yet GMC still
raised $22,599.39 to benefit
Greenville
Health
Systems Center for Integrative Oncology and
Survivorship and the GMC
Building Fund.
In previous years, GMC
raised $32, 083.60 to benefit Pendleton Place for
Children and Families and
the GMC Building Fund in
2015, $12, 929. 27 to benefit the GMC Building Fund
in 2014 and $3,123.86 to
benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation in 2013.
Were all really looking
forward to the building,
Bargar said. I should be
the first graduating class.
We are hoping to be in
by the end of next year
so starting the school year
of 2017, Bailey said. We
will still have other projects along the way.
The first phase in the
building is the classrooms
and offices, Bailey said.
We still wont have a
gym or a larger cafeteria.
I think we may be keeping this cafeteria for a
little while, so thats kind

of phase two once we get
more money. Because we
are a charter school, we
dont get the funding that
your typical public schools
get. We only get about 80
percent of that. Its a lot to
raise and look forward to.
It looks awesome. The renderings look amazing. Its
just the idea that we have
a brick and mortar place
to call home even though
the trailer parks leaving.
This building is going to
be a lasting thing for generations to come, Bargar
said. Its creating a mark
in the community as much
as it is for this school.
Both Bailey and Bargar
came to GMC through
family connections. Baileys father worked in the
same position she currently holds, and Bargars
three older brothers all attended GMC.
Its definitely a family
affair, said Bailey. Im
very fortunate to have the
job that I do that I dont
have to feel like its a job
every day. Getting to hang
out with kids, like Bryson
in our student government, really make it worth
it even on the hard days,
stressful days.
My mom worked here
for a while, Bargar said.
All of my siblings went
here. It just kind of led
into me going here. I think
thats the same with a lot
of students.
Honestly, looking at
a students viewpoint, a
lot of students come into
GMC not wanting to be
here, Bargar continued.
I did not want to come.
I wanted to go to Wade
Hampton, but now that
Im here, you wouldnt
even suggest the fact of
me going to any other high

school. Thats with every
student you ask. The longer theyre here, the more
dedicated they become
to the school. This is like
no other high school. You
dont get thousands of
kids in fights. You just get
a family.
GMC offers art classes,
yoga, zumba, self-defense
and fencing along with the
traditional classes.
Its just crazy stuff that
this school offers that you
will not get at any other
school, Bargar said.
Because its smaller,
our students more apt to
take on those opportunities than a bigger school,
Bailey said. Our school
couldnt work without
our parents. We have parents who volunteer in the
cafeteria and the office.
They provide us with our
water that we drink every
day. Our parents make our
school for sure.
Students have to get 50
hours a year, and each
family has to get 36 hours,
Bailey said. Parents and
students both have to have
service hours in order for
them to graduate.
It seems like a necessity, but it almost turns
into almost a want to do,
Bargar said.
Its ultimately for them
to take pride in our school
and our community and
just to give back a little
bit, Bailey said. I think
thats a necessity going
into adulthood and college
life. Its not all about you.
Its about others. Its bigger than what we are.

Kristina
Applegate in Bad Moms
COUCH THEATER
DVD Previews
BY SAM STRUCKHOFF
NEW RELEASES
FOR THE WEEK OF OCT. 31
PICKS OF THE WEEK
Bad Moms (R) -Worked to the bone and

unappreciated at home,
three suburban moms
decide theyre not gonna
take it anymore, giving
themselves playtime while
ignoring their motherly
duties. Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn
make a mess of the liquor
store and kick off many
more
hijinks,
putting
them in the crosshairs of
the uptight perfect moms
on the PTA, lead by Kristina Applegate and Jada
Pinkett-Smith.
Writers Jon Lucas and
Scott Moore are best
known for The Hangover
trilogy, in which grown
men get to act like boys
and make messes while the
women sit on the sideline,
either supportive or scolding. That same treatment
gets turned around here,
with the point being that
its a miracle that moms
arent already in open revolt over the absurd expectations placed on them
at work and home.
Imperium (R) -- Daniel Radcliffe stars as Nate
Foster, a nice young lad at
the FBI who is tapped to
go deep undercover with
white-supremacist groups
before one of them can
set off a dirty bomb. Nate
doesnt fit in much with
his colleagues at the bureau -- hes rather bookish
and bespectacled. However, a superior (Toni Collette) sees potential in Nate
and puts him on the front
lines. Nice-and-quiet Nate
has to change his look and
march around with skinheads and a hate-spewing
radio host to stop a homegrown act of terrorism.
The movie puts the hero
through a spectrum of
hate groups, showing not
just the Klansmen and
goose-steppers, but also
more buttoned-up racism
lurking in the corners of
American life. Its not particularly revelatory, and
its no American History
X, but Radcliffe handles
his role well, as a good
man trying to go unnoticed in the belly of the
beast.
Gleason (PG) -- Steve
Gleason was NFL star with
a big personality and big
reputation who faced two
enormous changes within
weeks of each other: He
learns he has an illness
that will take his life in a
few years, and his wife is
pregnant. This documentary is made around the video journal Gleason started
making for his unborn son
after he was diagnosed
with Lou Gehrigs disease.
Documentarian Clay Tweel
also works with the family
and provides footage. You
see his determination in
the beginning, and the way
things change and adapt
as he loses more of his
muscles and his son enters the world and starts
growing. This one wont
be easily forgotten.
DOG OF THE WEEK
Nine Lives (PG) -- A

distant
business-mogul
dad learns to appreciate
whats really important
after spending a while in
the body of the family cat.
Tom Brand (Kevin Spacey)
has big plans to build the
worlds tallest skyscraper,
but in his battle for success, he is unprepared
for his daughters 11th
birthday. Through hokey
circumstances (lightning),
he wakes up inside the
body of Mr. Fuzzypants,
a newly adopted tomcat
picked up from Christopher Walken.
Run time: 92 minutes

Rated: R for language and
crime scene footage
remember turning on
the Today show nine
years ago and seeing
Amanda Knox kissing
her Italian boyfriend just
outside the villa where
her suitemate had been
stabbed to death. That
video of the 20-year-old
Seattle exchange student
set the ugly tone for
the long miscarriage of
justice that would follow. The media took that
peculiar bit of footage
and ran with it, alleging
the two were a pair of
psychopaths that killed
the victim, British student Meredith Kercher,
in some kind of sex game
gone wrong. Egomaniacal
Italian prosecutor Giuliano Mignini fueled the
fire, alleging a ritualistic
three-person murder that
somehow landed Knox
and boyfriend Sollecito
in prison for four years
(the real killer, Rudy
Guede, was convicted and
remains in prison)
It was only when the
witch hunt ended and the
media firestorm quieted
that everyone realized
there was no evidence
to keep the two young
lovers locked up. In 2011
they were released when

CENTRE STAGE TO PRESENT

JEKYLL & HYDE MUSICAL
The epic struggle between good and evil comes

to life on stage in the musical phenomenon, Jekyll
& Hyde, at Centre Stage
Oct. 20-Nov. 12.
Based on the classic
story by Robert Louis
Stevenson and featuring
a score of pop rock hits
from multi-Grammy- and
Tony- nominated Frank
Wildhorn and double-Oscar- and Grammy-winning
Leslie Bricusse, Jekyll &
Hyde: The Musical has
mesmerized audiences the
world over.
An evocative tale of two
men one, a passionate
and romantic doctor and
the other, a terrifying
madman; and two women
one, beautiful and trusting and the other, beautiful and trusting only of
herself both in love with
the same man and both
unaware of his dark secret. A devoted man of
science, Dr. Henry Jekyll
is driven to find a chemical breakthrough that can
solve some of mankinds
most challenging medical
dilemmas. Rebuffed by
the powers that be, he decides to make himself the
subject of his own experimental treatments, accidentally unleashing his inner demons along with the
man that the world would
come to know as Mr. Hyde.
Its an evocative tale of one
man torn in two, and the
WILLIAM
BUCHHEIT
an appeals court overturned the verdict. In
2013, another Italian jury
found them guilty of the
crime but, two years later,
that decision was again
reversed and Knox and
Sollecito were finally off
the hook for good.

of Brian McGinn and Rod
Blackhurst spent half
a decade working on
the project and the end
result is simply stunning.
Perhaps most impressive is how the directors
convinced three of the
ordeals major figures, Mignini, Knox and Sollecito
to participate significantly
in the film.
Just as illuminating,
though, are the on-camera
interviews with British
journalist Nick Pisa, who
led the medias scourging
of Knox and Sollecito with
his sensationalist frontpage articles in the Daily
Mail.

a whodunit, he explains
to the camera. And we
have here this beautiful
picturesque hilltop town
in the middle of Italy. It
was a particularly gruesome murder: throat slit,
semi-naked, blood everywhere. I mean [chuckles],
what more do you want in
a story?
They say hindsight is
20/20, and Amanda
Knox illustrates with
great effectiveness how
an imaginative story can
not only cloud the facts
but essentially conceal
them from view.
My only problem with
the movie is that its too
short. The case certainly
had enough drama, complexity and characters
to warrant more than an
hour-and-a-half. Perhaps
the young filmmakers will
revisit the murder and

its aftermath in years to
come, much like director Joe Berlinger did in
his riveting Paradise
Lost documentaries. One

the framework for the

third and easily the worst
entry in The Purge
movie series.
The plot alone is
absurd. A senator who
watched purgers butcher
her family nearly two
decades ago is now a
beloved presidential candidate hell-bent on bringing an end to the annual
bloodletting. To show she
is no different than her
fellow Americans, she decides to forego lockdown
security, opting instead to
spend the evening in her
home with just her bodyguards. Predictably, the
opposing political party,
led by purgers, religious
zealots and 2nd Amendment fanatics, place a
target on her head. Let the
bloodbath begin!
If you arent looking
for a ton of gratuitous
violence or heavy-handed
commentary on Americas
class and racial divides,
this one doesnt have too
much to offer. Director
James DeMonaco just
doesnt seem to have the
cast or screenplay that
made the first two Purge
movies so engaging. There
are some decent action
sequences here, but they
hardly atone for nearly
two hours of bad plotting
and lamely scattered attempts at comic relief.

Cooled thermotherapy
is prostate option
DEAR DR. ROACH:
Whats your opinion on
cooled thermotherapy for
benign enlargement of the
prostate? I recently was
put on Flomax and finasteride, and was given the
option of having this procedure to eliminate taking
these two drugs.
My urologist has had
great success, while my
internist says the success
rate is only 60 percent. My
internist did say its great
if it works. -- S.V.
ANSWER: Benign enlargement of the prostate
is very common in older
men, and medications like
tamsolusin (Flomax) and
finasteride (Proscar) often
are used, and are pretty
effective in most men. The
most effective treatment
remains surgery, called
transurethral resection of
the prostate, TURP, which
reduces symptoms by at
least half in 98 percent of
men. Unfortunately, TURP
causes side effects in at
least 20 percent of men,
so there are several procedures designed to try to
get the benefit of surgery
without the drawbacks.
Cooled thermotherapy
is a procedure using a microwave device to reduce
prostate tissue. It isnt as
effective as TURP: Only
72 percent of men reduce
their symptoms by half or
more; however, it has reduced side effects, such
as need for blood transfusion. Unfortunately, there
were more symptoms of
uncomfortable urination,

urgency and need for a
catheter after surgery.
I think both of your doctors are right: Some men
have good experiences,
but not everyone will get
relief. Some serious side
effects are better with
thermotherapy, and others are worse. You need
to decide how much taking the medications bothers you and if you can live
with the symptoms the
way they are.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I just
read your column regarding the shingles vaccine.
I am an insurance agent
who is often asked about
coverage for the shingles
vaccine. The Affordable

Care Act does include this
under preventive care for
individuals 60 and over.
Preventive care is covered
at 100 percent for health
plans that are not grandfathered. (Grandfathered
health plans are plans that
have been continued virtually unchanged since 2010.
They are not required to
comply with all aspects of
ACA, so these plans might
not provide this service.)
You also may be interested in knowing that, in
our area, the Department
of Health clinic does offer
the shingles vaccine for a
fee of $5 for individuals
over the age of 50 who do
not have it covered under
a health plan. I am not
aware if this is unique to
our area, or if it is a widespread provision.
ANSWER: Thank you for
writing in. Others wrote to
me that their Department
of Health paid for most or
all of the cost. Some said
they could get the vaccine
covered at a pharmacy but
not at physicians offices.
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.

a collaboration between
State Farm and The Mattie C. Stewart Foundation.
When students board
The Choice Bus, they get
to experience what life
is actually like from two
different points of view,
said Sherri Stewart, executive director of The Mattie
C. Stewart Foundation. It
helps students dig deep
into thinking about their
futures based on the decisions they will make.
Connecting education to
future lifetime earning potential and career goals is
what we strive to encourage.
The bus is one of six
tools created by The Mattie C. Stewart Foundation
devoted to helping reduce
the dropout rate in the
United States. Since 2008,
The Choice Bus has visited
more than 2,000,000 students in 21 states.
Through a grant provided by State Farm, The
Choice Bus visits schools
along with the Learn2Earn
Booklet and the InsideOut
Toolkit. Learn2Earn, a financial literacy curriculum, was created by the
foundation to help educa-
tors teach students about

the importance of understanding the world of finance, such as budgeting,
taxes, credit cards, loans,
etc.
The InsideOut Toolkit
consists of a Teachers
Guide, a Stay in School
Pledge Card and the InsideOut documentary a 26minute DVD that exposes
the true-life story of prison inmates and the longterm consequences that
dropping out of school has
caused. The documentary
and companion Teachers
Guide have been used in
classrooms and community centers in 49 states and
Canada and viewed by an
estimated 15,000,000 students, parents and community leaders.
The Choice Bus has
impacted thousands of
lives, said Julie Smith,
State Farm Insurance public affairs specialist. It has
been an honor to be proud
partners with The Mattie
C. Stewart Foundation and
see a difference in the way
our schools and communities feel about education.
We believe that students
now understand that their
futures are based on the

consequences of every decision they make.
State Farm and MCSF
have teamed up for the
last four years to proudly
bring The Choice Bus to
Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Mississippi,
New York, South Carolina,
Texas and additional State
Farm territories. State
Farm is determined to
strive higher in all areas of
helping students to stay
connected to education
and helping to build more
education-focused
environments.
We are proud to work
with State Farm to spread
the message of education
to South Carolina, said
Dr. Shelley Stewart, founder and president of The
Mattie C. Stewart Foundation. Illustrating to students the uncut vision of
what poor choices leads to
can help them think about
their actions. Our mission

our youth across the nation.
