Taylors TownSquare is
seeking community in-
put on its proposed Main
Street Development Dis-
trict, which would encom-
pass more than 220 area
parcels.
The Taylors Community
Plan, adopted by Green-
ville County Council in
2016, prioritized the es-
tablishment of the dis-
trict, according to Taylors
TownSquare president
Alex Reynolds.
“A community plan’s
main purpose is to give
a specific vision for the
future Land Use map,
which is also outlined
in the community plan,”
said Reynolds. “This dis-
trict goes a bit further in
a more specific and vital
area and asks residents to
give feedback on how they
want their community to
look and feel, which is a
bit more than just what
can be done on the prop-
erty.
“The MSDD gives resi-
dents a voice in things like
lighting, signage guide-
lines, how public spaces
are used, etc.,” he said.

double
homicide
After Greer
structure fire
BY BILLY CANNADA
EDITOR
Local authorities are in-
vestigating a double ho-
micide following a Greer
apartment fire last week.
The bodies of a male
victim and a female victim
were found in the blaze;
although, the Greenville
County Coroner said both
died of gunshot wounds.
The coroner identified
the victims as 17-year-old
Princes Icess Fuller and
20-year-old Marquez Dijon
Nash.
Police believe the death
of 25-year-old Tevin Cor-
tez Miller, who was found
dead in Wellford of an ap-
parent self-inflicted gun-
shot wound, may be con-
nected to the homicides.
Miller was a resident of
707 Poplar Drive.
Officers with the Greer
Police Department were
called to Poplar Place
Apartments on Sept. 18 to
assist the Greer Fire De-
partment. The incident is
being investigated by the
Greer Police Department,
along with SLED arson in-
vestigators and the Green-
ville County Coroner’s Of-
fice.

s Florence approached the west-
ern part of the state, it appeared
certain events at The World Eques-
trian Games would be canceled as no
one knew quite how waterlogged the
showgrounds might become. The horses
evacuated from the coast were safely
housed in temporary stalls, warm and
dry, and it was heartening to see locals
volunteering to tramp out through the
rain and muck to help clean stalls, or
simply hand graze the animals so they
could snatch a bit of grass.
Despite the uncertainty of events my
quest to meet my Dressage hero, Carl
Hester, felt within reach...as a member
of Great Britain’s team, unless he and
his fellow members all happened to fall
off in the middle of their performances,
they would likely be somewhere on the
podium, meaning they would be present
at the press conference scheduled for 7
p.m.
Indeed they claimed bronze and after
watching each footfall of everyone’s
ridden test, I leapt into my truck and
hightailed it home in order to feed and
water my own horses before returning.
Smug in my efficiency, I tooled into the
designated parking area in time to jog

GUEST EDITORIAL
In times of crisis and
loss, heroes abound
While our state was largely spared the kind of
Category 5 destruction that Hurricane Florence
once threatened to bring our way, many people
in the Pee Dee region are still reeling from the
storm’s impact.  So, the question is: What is
At least nine South Carolina lives have been
lost and countless others upended by the storm
and its after-effects, with losses from cata-
strophic flooding a looming reality.  and Christine Ford to share
For those spared the full wrath of a storm that
once churned toward us with 140-mph winds,
it’s a good time to count our blessings. Those
communities that were hit hardest have some
very long, rough months ahead.
It’s also a good time to take stock of the ef-
forts of so many who prepare and work hard to
keep us safe in times of emergency.
Disaster-preparedness officials work around-
the-clock for days, monitoring forecasts and
bracing for worst-case scenarios. After we’ve
been hit, public safety officers, firefighters, EMS
workers, and members of the State and Nation-
al Guard protect neighborhoods, clear debris,
and undertake treacherous rescue operations
to save people stranded by flooding.
The men and women of the Highway Patrol
and local sheriff’s and police departments rou-
tinely put themselves in harm’s way to protect
us. During emergencies, not only do their hours
increase but so do the risks they face. Their
stepped-up patrols keep motorists safe and
roads passable.
Countless city, county, and state workers are
unrecognized heroes, putting in extra long hours
to ensure that emergency plans are in place and
vital services are kept running as smoothly as
possible even as demands for those services
soar. Utility workers labor feverishly, often with
little or no rest, to restore our electricity and
get our water running again. Churches, food
pantries, and other charities shift into high gear

Character
A
good name is to be chosen
rather than great riches, and
favor is better than silver or
gold,” says Proverbs 22:1.
A person’s character is im-
portant.
We can learn a lot about a per-
son by what they say and what
they do while a single word
from someone else can make us
question what we’ve learned.
But we need to verify what
others say before making a
judgment.
The truth can be hard to
discern when accusations are
brought up against someone
else.
Who should we believe?

Our hearts often go out to
those who say they have been
hurt, yet our justice system has
been based on “innocent until
proven guilty.”
The situation with Supreme
Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh
is very sad.
Someone is lying, and the lies
are hurting those in similar situ-

responded.
“That town has really
supported us,” owner
Scott Cannon said. “We’ve
had tons of the old cus-

come back. Greer support-

thought it would.”

“I knew there were
some that would be glad
we were back, but I didn’t
know it was this many

“Our first day back, you
couldn’t even get a park-

down the street. After 12
hours straight, we finally
sold out of food, and it
was my week’s supply of
food. We sold out in one
day.”
The Greer eatery opened
in 1971 and became a
fixture for many locals.

didn’t want to see it turn
into nothing,” Cannon
said. “I knew it would
mean a lot to him if we
could get it going again.”
Cannon said small town
restaurants like his do so
well because they offer a
meeting place for friends,
family and neighbors.
“It means a lot to peo-
ple,” Cannon said. “Some
people come in and this
might be the only interac-
tion they have with other
people. This is their time
out of the house. We’ve
got some folks that will
come in two times a day
to eat and talk with us.”
Although the restaurant
opened with its former
menu, Cannon plans to
continue to change items
to offer customers a fresh
taste.
“We opened back up
with my grandpa’s orig-
inal menu. Once things
settled back down, now,
we’re offering some meat
and three, hot wings and
different types of appe-
tizers. When the weather
changes, we’ll start to
offer some salmon and

the customers will like.”

“Any time we can bring

TIP: Event helps owners
document trailers
FROM PAGE ONE
weight of 25 pounds or
less,” said Duncan Police
Chief Carl Long. “There’s
a lot of trailers out there.
They’re not tagged, and
they don’t have serial
numbers on them.”
“As we bring awareness
to this issue, it is our hope
that owners of trailers will
pay more attention to se-
curing their trailers when
they are left unattended,”
said Greer Police Chief
Matt Hamby added. “We
hope that they will take
precautions such as re-
moving connectors that
allow them to be towed
away.”
The TIP program, hosted
by the Spartanburg Coun-
ty Sheriff’s Office, will in-
clude departments from
Greer, Duncan and Well-
ford.
Citizens are encouraged
to bring their personal-
ly owned trailers, so the
trailer’s VIN can be docu-
mented in the records sys-
tem with the SCSO, Greer
Police Department (PD),
Duncan PD, Lyman PD,
Wellford PD and National
Insurance Crime Bureau
(NICB).
“This is the first year we
have been involved and
look forward to being part
of this project for many
more years,” said Wellford
Police Chief David Green.
“We went to every busi-
ness in the Wellford Com-
munity and dropped off
information and went to
citizens we knew had trail-
ers and told them about
the project as well.
“This project would
have been very helpful in
a recent theft of a trailer
in the City,” he said. “The
trailer was a standard
black trailer with no serial
numbers and will be very
hard to identify later if
found. If the trailer would
have been part of the Trail-
er Identification Project, it
would have been easier to
I.D. later when found. We
find trailers a lot of times
at homes of known thieves
but are unable to link the
trailers to any crime be-
cause there is no serial
numbers.”
Additionally, a second
identification number will
be issued by the Sheriff’s
Office and stamped (en-
graved) onto the trailer
with equipment donated
by NICB.
“They can get a serial
number stamped into it
and register it,” Long said.
“So if it comes up stolen,
we’ve got something to
go on. We can’t even put
them in the crime data-
base without serial num-
bers.”
“A while back, there was
a big trailers theft thing
going on in Spartanburg
County,” he said. “We had
a lot of trailers stolen.”
Trailers were being sto-
len, repainted and resold.
“The number on it’s go-
ing to be able to identify it
regardless of what they do
to it,” Long said. “It makes
it where we can track ‘em.
It really helps the most if
one of them gets stolen.”
The purpose of the event
is to provide citizens with
a free and easy way to
register the VIN on their
personally owned trailers
with the Sheriff’s Office.
Statistics show if the
trailer VIN is known, the
chances of law enforce-
ment locating the stolen
trailer, returning it and
prosecuting the person
who took the trailer are
much greater.
Law Enforcement and
NICB want to double their
chances of recovery by
adding a second identi-
fication number and en-
graving it into the trailer.
The cost to the trailer
owner is free.

Taylors Fire and Sewer to purchase new property
For district

STAFF WRITER
The Taylors Fire and
Sewer District is planning
a move in the near future.
Commissioners ap-
proved a resolution last
Crime
Report
(Note: All information
contained in the following
was taken directly from
the official incident reports
filed by the City of Greer
Police Department. All
suspects are to be consid-
ered innocent until proven
guilty in the court of law.)
UNLAWFUL CARRY
Nicholas Hunter Win-
kler, 23, of Inman has been
charged with Possession
of Meth (second), Unlawful
Carrying of Pistol, Identity
Fraud, General Session
Failure to Appear and Re-
ceiving Stolen Goods.
Kevin Michael Kriz, 22,
of Spartanburg has been
charged with Driving Un-
der Suspension and No
Tag Light.
According to an incident
report supplied by Greer
Police, on Sept. 14 at 2
p.m., an officer was on pa-
trol in the area of S. High-
way 101 and I-85 when he
observed the driver of a
blue Cadillac turn left out
of the Spinx gas station
onto S. Highway 101.
The tag light on the Ca-
dillac was not functional,
so the officer conducted a
traffic stop on the vehicle.
The officer made con-
tact with the driver, Kriz,
and the passenger, who
was later identified as
Winkler. When the offi-
cer asked Winkler for his
name and birthday, he
gave someone else’s name
and date of birth. Winkler
even spelled the name
for the officer and stated
he had been issued an ID
under this name in South
Carolina. Using SC DMV
information, the officer
found Kriz’s license to be
suspended. He also found
an individual by the false
name; however, his height
and weight did not seem
consistent with Winkler’s.
The officer consulted a
DMV photograph, and the
individual looked similar
to Winkler but was clearly
not him. The officer had
Winkler get out of the car,
and he again asked him
who he was. He insisted
that he was the false name.
The officer asked Win-
kler how old he was, and
he hesitated. He first stat-
ed he was 23, but then
said 25. A corporal located
paperwork in the vehicle
with the name “Nicholas
Winkler” on it.
The officer reviewed a
DMV photograph and con-
firmed Winkler’s identity.
The officer found Win-
kler to have 17 active war-
rants with Spartanburg
County.
Kriz was placed under
arrest for DUS, and Win-
kler was arrested for giv-
ing false information.
During an inventory of
the vehicle prior to it be-
ing towed, the officer dis-
covered a PB .22 handgun
beneath the passenger
seat, where Winkler had
been sitting. The gun had
six bullets in the magazine
and one in the chamber.
Inside a book bag near
where Winkler had been
sitting, there was a con-
cealed carry holster and
four additional .22 bullets
matching those in the gun.
Also inside the book
bag was a black folding
mirror box. On the mirror
was less than a gram of a
white crystal powder. This
powder later field tested
positive for methamphet-
amine. The officer found
Winkler to have a prior
conviction for Possession
of Controlled Substance
in Spartanburg County on
May 17, 2017.
Kriz and Winkler were
transported to the Greer
City Jail.

agreement to purchase
property for a price not

“The district will also en-

according to the resolu-
tion.
The Taylors Fire and
HEROIN POSSESSION
Christopher Dean Wood,
41, of Taylors has been
charged with Possession
of Heroin. According to an
incident report supplied
by Greer Police, on Sept.
14, an officer responded
to 6029 Wade Hampton
Blvd. (Burger King) in ref-
erence to a suspicious ve-
hicle. On his arrival, the
officer made contact with
the passenger of the ve-
hicle who was identified
as Wood. While speaking
with Wood, the officer saw
fresh puncture wounds on
the veins of his left arm
consistent with intrave-
nous drug use.
He was asked to step out
of the vehicle and was pat-
ted down for weapons.
When questioned about
the marks, Wood stated
that he scraped his arm on
the center console.
When the officer point-
ed to the two bleeding
puncture marks further
up his arm, he stated that
it had been two weeks
since he had used any
type of drugs. When ques-
tioned about any drug
related items in the car,
Wood stated that there
were none. Both punctures
further up Wood’s arm
were centered on two sep-
arate veins near the inside
crease of his elbow.
The officer then went
to speak with the female
seated in the driver seat of
the vehicle, and he asked
her about the injuries on
Wood’s arm and if she had
seen how they occurred.
She stated that she
knows that he uses drugs
but according to her,
Wood tells her to look
away when he injects him-
self. The officer asked
her if she had seen Wood
inject anything, and she
stated that he has used
drugs since they had been
in the Burger King parking
lot. The officer asked her
if he could search the ve-
hicle, and she agreed.
Officers searched the
vehicle and located two
pills and an un-capped
and loaded syringe under
the passenger seat where
Wood was sitting. A small
amount of the red liquid
(containing suspected her-
oin and blood) was placed
into a heroin field test kit.
While attempting to
conduct the field test on
the liquid inside of the
syringe, the glass vial lo-
cated inside of the test kit
broke through the plastic
sleeve and cut into the of-
ficer’s left index finger.
He placed the test kit
down and went to address
his cut. The other officer
then took over conducting
the test which yielded a
positive result for heroin.

responded along with EMS
and the Fire Department.
Wood was placed under
arrest and transported
to the Greer City Jail by
one officer. The other of-
ficer was transported to
Pelham Medical Center
by EMS where his wound
was treated and blood was
drawn to conduct analy-
sis to determine if he had
been exposed to any con-
tractable blood borne dis-
eases. Wood signed a Con-
sent to Search Form and
agreed to a blood draw to
determine if he had any ill-
nesses which were trans-
mittable through blood.
The liquid and the pills
were entered into Proper-
ty and Evidence and will
be submitted for analysis.
SHOPLIFTING
Candice Ann Macmillan,
35, of Campobello has
been charged with Shop-
lifting $2,000 or less.
According to an incident
report supplied by Greer
Police, on Sept. 13 around
11:50 a.m., an officer was
dispatched to the Walmart
located at 14055 E. Wade
Hampton Blvd. in refer-
ence to a white female
being in custody for shop-
lifting. The officer arrived
and spoke with the assis-
tant manager, who stated
that she observed a white
female at self checkout,
later identified as Mac-
millan, scan two separate
DVDs while holding a cut
out of another upc.
The assistant manager
stated that the register
rung up $1 for each DVD.
The actual value of the
two DVDs is $32.92.
The assistant manag-
er stated that she ap-
proached Macmillan and
escorted Macmillan to the
Loss Prevention (LP) office
and awaited the officer’s
arrival. The officer spoke
with Macmillan who stated
that she had just made a
mistake and was just try-
ing to get some DVDs for
her and her children to
watch tonight.
The officer placed Mac-
millan under arrest and
escorted her to the Greer
Detention Facility. He ran
a criminal history on Mac-
millan and found that she
has two prior property
crime convictions. Macmil-
lan was placed on trespass
from Walmart.

Shane Joshua Torrence,
31, of Greer has been
charged with Possession
of Schedule II Drugs and

Rebels cruise past the Indians
BY BILLY CANNADA
SPORTS EDITOR
The Rebels took a punch
Friday night, and then
they punched back. Hard.
On its first play from
scrimmage, Gaffney
notched its first and only
points of the half on a 96-
yard pass play.
The quick score didn’t
rattle Reggie Shaw’s Reb-
els, as they cruised to a
34-14 victory.
“We felt like they got a
cheap one on us that was
easily correctable, so we
told our guys not to flinch.
If we weathered the storm
and kept doing what we
were doing, we felt like we
were going to be fine. You
have to keep a short mem-
ory,” Shaw said.
Byrnes did have a short
memory, marching down
the field to score on a one-
yard run by quarterback
Lawrence Scott.
“We’ve been in that situ-
ation before and we knew
we would come back,”
Scott said. “We kept fight-
ing and stayed positive
and things started going
our way.”
The Rebels then piled on
the points, as Scott found
Kris Byrd and Zacch Davis
on routes of 20 and 34
yards respectively.
Leading 19-7 at the half,
Shaw felt confident about
his team’s chances against
the rival.
“We knew we had to run

Eagles fall
to Chapman
Tigers,
Warriors
still winless
BY BILLY CANNADA
SPORTS EDITOR
An undefeated Eastside
team ran into its toughest
test of the season last Fri-
day, falling 49-23 on the
road to Chapman.
The Eagles first loss
came after a closely con-
tested first half. Eastside
trailed 14-10 heading
into intermission, but the
Chapman offense went
into high gear late, putting
the game out of reach.
The Panthers are now

team in Class AAA.
Eastside will have the
chance to bounce back
this Friday at Travelers
Rest, but they’ll have to
knock off an undefeated
team.
The Devildogs are 5-0
with wins over Riverside,
Pickens, Ware Shoals, Car-
olina and Blue Ridge.
It will be Eastside’s first
region contest of the sea-
son.
RIVERSIDE
A brutal first half, put
the Warriors in a hole they
couldn’t climb out of Fri-
day night against Mauldin.
Riverside remained win-
less on the season, tallying

the storm and kept
doing what we were

we were going to

they were focusing in on
our running back,” Shaw
said. “That opened some
things up for the rest of

lot of confidence in those
guys.”
Scott found Byrd once
more in the second half,
and running back Rah-
jai Harris scored on a
36-yard-run of his own.
“You can celebrate for a
short time, but you have to
move forward,” Shaw said.
“You have to stay humble
and hungry.”
The Rebels will travel to

Mauldin scored the first
six touchdowns of the
game, notching three in
each of the first two quar-
ters.
Andrew Brown broke the
scoring drought for River-
side in the third, scoring
on a 1-yard run.
After another Mauldin
touchdown, Zach White
found the end zone for the
Warriors.
Riverside will host By-
rnes this week, taking on a
Rebel squad that has only
lost one game on the year.
The two programs hav-
en’t played the past two
seasons after Riverside
switched regions.
Game time is set for 7:30
p.m.
BLUE RIDGE
Like the Warriors, the
Tigers are also still search-
ing for win number one
this year.
Blue Ridge made the
long trip to Vernon, Flor-
ida last week, falling to
Vernon High School 34-6.
Despite the 0-5 record, the
Tigers will get fresh life
this week when they play
in their first region con-
test at home against Berea.
The Bulldogs have won
one game this season, top-
ping Carolina in Week 1.
Berea has lost to Liber-
ty, Pendleton, Pickens and

A high stakes showdown
will kick off the Region
Two portion of the 2018
football season on Friday
night when Greer battles
Greenville High on the
road at Sirrine Stadium.
The Greer defensive front has created problems for opposing defenses during the first
half of the season.

These are the starters

This group has played
a major role in building
the Yellow Jackets’ 4-1 re-
cord, mostly against larg-
er Class 5-A teams, at the
midway point in the 2018
football season.
The “box” is drawing
praise from Greer High’s
letic quarterback Friday
night.
“Any time you play the
triple option, you have to
play assignment football,”
he said. “Their quarter-
back is very athletic and

four games remaining in
the small six-team region.
Greer brings a 4-1 re-

other Class 5-A teams.
Greenville is 3-2, but could

coaching staff, beginning
with Will Young who calls
them “a pretty incredible
group. We thought they
would be good going into
the season, and they hav-
en’t disappointed us.”
Defensive Coordinator
Travis Perry calls the front
“one of the best since I
have been coaching. They
make a lot happen. They
are very vocal and provide
leadership for the rest of
the defense and the entire
team.”
Perry said the lineback-
ers “also are playing real-
ly well, especially Dill and
Smith. They are two good
athletes who have a nose
for the ball, which is what
a good linebacker should
have.”

multiple and they get after

to have to go in there and
not beat ourselves.”
The Red Raiders nearly
upended South Pointe be-
fore falling 28-27 in their
last outing, a game “that
really got our kids’ atten-
tion because they know
about South Pointe,” said
Greer Coach Will Young.
“This game is big be-
cause they all are at this
point in the year, and
this is the next game on
the schedule. But the fact
we’re playing Greenville
also makes it important,”
Young said.

“This is one of the top
five D-lines we have had
since I have been coach-

is well over 30 years now,”
said assistant coach Bob
Massullo. “But I’m not yet
ready to say they are as
good as the 2003 line (the
last team to win a state ti-

prove.”
If the won-loss record
isn’t enough, the stats
bear out what the coach-

It’s a…
M
y wife and I had
the same argument
about 100 times.
I didn’t want to find out
the gender of our newest
unborn child. She did.
And she let me know on
more than one occasion.
She wouldn’t just ask
me or make a case for
us finding out, she got
stressed out…
“I don’t know what I’m
going to do about the ba-
by’s room,” she’d mutter
under her breathe. “What
about clothes? What am
I supposed to do about
clothes??”
Eventually, I abandoned
my position on this sub-
ject. No amount of fun
surprises are worth my
pregnant wife’s sanity.
I agreed to find out.
With one condition—
That we would find out in
the ultrasound room.
Shannon had the idea
of waiting until my
first-born’s birthday and
revealing at the party, and
I told her that was a great
idea. She should definitely
wait.
But I wasn’t about to
wait.
Nope, if I was going to
know, I wanted to be the
only person that knew for
a few days.
After the doctor per-
formed the ultrasound
and we saw the baby wig-
gle around, she handed
me an envelope and we
went back into the waiting
room. My wife hadn’t sat
down yet before I looked
in the envelope.
With anticipation and
butterflys, I ripped it
open, looked inside and
saw the words. It’s a….
Girl.
A girl. Another one.
I couldn’t react because
my wife was waiting for
the party to find out.
But my internal reaction
was to read the words
over and over again to
make sure they didn’t say
boy.
“hmmmmmm,” I
thought. “I’m a girl dad.
That’s my reality.”
“Two weddings? Oh no,
I’m going to have to pay
for two weddings!”
“Teenage sisters one
year apart? Oh my!”
The bad thoughts
quickly faded as I thought
about Penny.
“She’s so sweet.”
“I get to have another
one like her.”
“I bet I could give them
both golf lessons.”
My wife was staring at
me. It was as if she was
trying to read my face
to see the words “boy”
or “girl” written on my
eyeballs.
Days went by and I
managed to keep my
secret.
My wife found out,
along with all our friends
and family, on Sunday.
We’ll be welcoming
our second daughter,
Charlotte Ann “Charlie”,
sometime in February.
I don’t know why, but I
always assumed I would
have boys.
I pictured myself as the
dad in one of my favorite
jokes by a popular come-
dian.
Sitting in the bleachers
on a Friday night, I’d turn
to the crowd next to me…
“That’s my son! You
see the boy running the
touchdowns? I taught
him to do that. You see,
I’d run the touchdowns
myself but I’m too old so I
leave the touchdown run-
ning to him…MY SON!”
But that stuff is over-
rated. Spend two seconds
with my little girl and
you’ll find out they’re the
best. I don’t need Penny
to run touchdowns. I just
need her to laugh and gig-
gle with me for the next
50 years.
Parenting has become
such a joy for my wife
and I. We can’t wait to
add another little girl to
our crew.

Looking ahead, the De-

the belief that Greer can

“I know we have the

we can stay connected af-

of good for the communi-

senior who is the team’s
most vocal encourager
when it comes to pushing
others to do their best.
“We don’t need to sit
down”
“We don’t need to just sit
down and say we are here.
Most definitely, we need to
get better, and if we con-
tinue doing that, the sky
is the limit,” believes Mc-
Zavion Holley. The junior
tackle, who has recorded
one or more sacks in near-
ly every game, is pushing
himself to take on more
leadership now “so it will
come natural next year
when I am a senior.”
Junior linebacker Na-
jawuan Smith said, “I
think we’re going to the
state.” Although he has
returned two fumbles for
touchdowns (one nullified
by a penalty), Smith said
he gets the greatest plea-
sure out of “playing fast
and making plays. I just
like to hit people.”
“I feel we can be some-
thing great. But we have to
do it day-by-day and work,
and really trust our coach-
es,” said Jakyre Kerns,
also a junior linebacker.

Deante Bruton, senior
defensive end, said “we
all work hard, and we all
get to the ball on every
play. So I think we can
push through and win the
state.”
Top reserve and track
standout Zech Evans, who
plays both offense and
defense, believes, “We
should go get a ring. I
don’t want to settle for
second place.” Evans also
praised the Yellow Jack-
ets offensive line, saying.
“I like to run the ball, es-
pecially behind the first
team line. They are pretty
good.”
“I think we have a good
chance to win the state,”
said Garrett Dill, who start-
ed at linebacker last year
as a freshman. “The key is
keeping everyone healthy
and playing together. We
have fun, but we have to
work hard while doing it.”
Dill, who’s father Brad is

“It’s a different place to
play over there, but I think
our kids will be ready to
play,” Young continued.
“We have a good group,
and are very talented in
some spots. This bunch is
a little different in the way
they work on a daily basis,
taking a little more busi-
ness-like approach in the
weight room and off-sea-
son. That makes it fun to
be their coach. But we still
have to go out and execute
on Friday night.”
Young pointed out,
“Greenville’s offense is
a spread, a lot like ours.
Their strength is in the
running game with Collin
Wakefield, their running
back, and Davis Beville,
quarterback, getting a
lot of carries.” Wakefield
has rushed for 822 yards
this season, while Beville,
6-6, 205, has piled up 232
yards. Young said Wake-
field is similar to Greer’s
Dre Williams, while Bev-
ille, who is committed to
Pittsburgh, “is a monster
compared to our quarter-
back.”
Greenville is averaging
220 yard a game rushing
and 172 yards passing,
compared to Greer’s 250
yards rushing and 160
yards passing.
Young noted that Green-
ville offensive guard Ste-
phon Stokes, 6-2, 285
pounds, is committed to
The Citadel. “We also have
an offensive lineman, Kyle
Schneider who has a lot of
college offers.”
The Red Raiders lead-
ing receiver is Aziz Huff,
a sophomore, who has 19
catches and four touch-
downs.
Young said Greenville’s
defense “also is a lot like
us. Of course we are not
sure what they will throw
at us, but we will proba-
bly see a 4-2-5 like us, or a
3-4 like they used against
B-HP. We have seen these
defenses before.”
Both teams enjoyed
a bye last Friday night,
ets, was the toughest they
have played. “I believe we
could have beat them, but
we made too many mis-
takes,” Smith said.
“Byrnes wasn’t that
hard. I really don’t know
what happened in that
game,” Burton added.
Rice said, “I really en-
joyed the Mauldin game.
They were good competi-
tion, and they didn’t give
up until the second half.
Everyone else gave up in
the second quarter.”
Holley said “Westside
was the most physical
team we have played. They
come attack you.”
But Dill said Hillcrest,
in a pre-season scrim-
mage, “is the best team we
played. They have a really
good offensive line.”
After graduation
Defensive Box members
have a variety of personal
goals. Flannigan said, “I
want to get an education
first, so I am not worrying
about playing football in
college. I like to draw so I
am thinking about archi-
tecture or mechanical en-
gineering.”
Evans plans to play bas-

in several years, and then

does all of the sprints and
relays. After graduation,

His replacement will be

“I want to design my

Smith would like to play

Holley is another Yellow
Jacket that could get col-
lege football scholarship
offers, and says, “if that

After graduation Mc-

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 2018 THE GREER CITIZEN B5
Albino Skunk Music Festival set for Oct. 4-6
BY KAELYN CASHMAN
STAFF WRITER
SkunkFest returns to
Greer next weekend with
a charity bike ride and an
eclectic mix of music.
The 2018 Albino Skunk
Music Festival will run
from Oct. 4-6, beginning
with the bike riding event
on Thursday at 8 a.m.
THE RIDE
The ride, DeTour de
Skunk, will take partici-
pants through the foot-
hills of the Blue Ridge.
Two routes of various
distances and difficul-
ties will be available. The
short route is a 15 mile
ride along country roads
from the Skunk Farm to
1909 Campbell’s Covered
Bridge and back.
The long route, which is
35 miles, and has a couple
of more difficult climbs
and goes through Tiger-
ville and past the 1820
Poinsett Bridge.
Both groups will depart
together at 9 a.m. from the
top of the main parking
lot at 4063 Jordan Road.
Proceeds from the ride
will benefit 9-year-old Len-
nox Ostendorff, a regular
SkunkFest attendee, who
has been diagnosed with
X-linked ALD, a rare and
incurable genetic disor-
der. Lennox is the son of
Gentry Ostendorff, a local
drummer and a long time
volunteer and friend of
the festival.
The price for the ride is
$35, which includes regis-
tration, a commemorative
shirt, some riding snacks
and a beer token from the
Community Tap for those
21 and older.
THE MUSIC
The Albino Skunk Music
Fest will feature a variety
of music groups with the
gates opening at 10 a.m.
each day.
Glynn and Susan Zei-
gler’s old farm place north
of Greer hosts two yearly
music festivals.
SpringSkunk Music Fest
takes place the second
weekend of April, and the
Albino Skunk Music Fes-
tival takes place the first
weekend in October.
Both are often called
“SkunkFest” by attendees
and artists.
Originally founded as
a bluegrass music festi-
val, SkunkFest now fea-
tures all sorts of mostly
acoustic music – includ-
ing Americana, Folk, Sing-

by The Community Tap,
handmade crafts and kid-
dieland with playground,
activities, kid’s shows and

tance.

verse:

B6 THE GREER CITIZEN 
LIONSGATE
John Travolta in ‘Gotti’
COUCH THEATER  
BY AMY ANDERSON
NEW RELEASES
FOR THE WEEK OF SEPT. 24
PICKS OF THE WEEK
“Solo: A Star Wars Sto-
ry” (PG-13) -- Confession
time: I’m not what you’d
call a “Star Wars” fanat-
ic. I’ve seen (most of) the
movies, but I’m not emo-
tionally invested. So your
opinion about “Solo: A
Star Wars Movie” may
be different if you have
strong feelings about the
franchise. In my case, I
found it to be a fun, engag-
ing space Western -- com-
plete with a train robbery
-- and a charismatic romp
befitting the character it
centers around: Han Solo
(Alden Ehrenreich), a ras-
cal with a deep heart and
something to prove. After
he is separated from his
scrappy partner in love
and crime, Qi’ra (Emilia
Clarke), he vows to spend
his life plotting her rescue
-- which will involve Chew-
bacca and Lando Calris-
sian (Donald Glover) and
an even bigger heist in the
second act.
“Uncle Drew” (PG-13)
-- Dax (Lil Rel Howery) is
a Harlem streetball man-
ager who loses his team
(and the life savings he
invested to enter them in
a tournament) to a child-
hood rival named Mookie
(Nick Kroll). Hard outta
luck, an old-timer intro-
duces him to Uncle Drew
(Kyrie Irving), a streetball
legend, who agrees to join
him in forming a new team
that they’ll fill out with
Drew’s old gang: Big Fella
(Shaquille O’Neal), Preach-
er (Chris Webber), Lights
(Reggie Miller) and Boots
(Nate Robinson). It’s camp
and dumb and the laughs
actually come at a steady
dribble before the Big Mes-
sage at the end -- not quite
a slam dunk, but pretty
good for a movie based on
a Pepsi commercial.
“Hot Summer Nights”
(R) -- Set in early ‘90s Cape
Cod, “Hot Summer Nights”
puts the drug-dealing
scene front and center.
Sent to the shore after a
personal tragedy, Daniel
(Timothee Chalamet), an
awkward teen who seems
unlikely to become an
insatiable dealer, meets
local bad boy and weed
dealer Hunter (Alex Roe).
They form a lucrative part-
nership, as Daniel secretly
also forms a romantic
entanglement with Hunt-
er’s sister McKayla (Maika
Monroe). While the sum-
mer and the salty air mix,
a little bit is not enough,
and things spiral out of
control.
“Gotti” (R) -- John Tra-
volta delves deep into the
makeup chair for “Gotti,”
which perhaps unsurpris-
ingly chronicles the life
and times of mob boss
John Gotti, affectionate-
ly known as the “Teflon
Don.” No charges of good
filmmaking are sticking
here. Gotti is simply not
a sympathetic character.
If this were a sensational-
ized, true-crime glitz flick,
I could get behind it, but it
appears to be an attempt
at a serious character
study. It doesn’t help that
it has a just-slapped-to-
gether feel -- Travolta
plays John Gotti, and his
real-life wife (Kelly Pres-
ton) portrays Gotti’s wife,

Empty Bowls’ Soup Day set for Saturday
Volunteers have made
pottery bowls all summer
long. Now, Hub City Empty
Bowls will host Soup Day
on Saturday, Sept. 29, 11
a.m.-4 p.m., at Indigo Hall
in downtown Spartanburg
to help feed many people
| for months to come.
Annually, Soup Day is
the culmination of many
people’s creative and hard
work during the summer,
making hand-shaped clay
pottery bowls that will
be used to raise money
for local citizens who are
“food insecure,” which is
generally defined as “not
knowing if you’ll have the
ways and means for your
next meal.” In Spartanburg
County, about 40,000 peo-
ple are food insecure.
Hundreds of people
turned out for Hub City
Empty Bowls’s three
bowl-making sessions
during the summer, pro-
ducing hundreds of un-
finished bowls. The mem-
bers of the lead agency
Carolina Clay Artists re-
paired, touched up, paint-
ed, glazed, and fired the
bowls, making them ready
for people to donate $20
per bowl on Soup Day.
In addition to getting a
handmade pottery bowl to
keep, patrons of Soup Day
will also get to feast on
about a dozen different
soups that will be donated
by the community’s finest
restaurants. They will also
get to bid on a silent auc-
tion, hear live music, and
enjoy the fellowship.
The money raised on
Soup Day will be given to
TOTAL Ministries, a faith-

FURMAN BAND CONCERT
SET FOR SEPT. 28
Furman University’s
Marching Band, The Pala-
din Regiment, will present
its annual Band Extrava-
ganza concert Friday, Sept.
28, at 8 p.m. in McAlister
Auditorium on campus.
The concert is open to
the public and is held in
conjunction with Family
Weekend at the universi-
ty. Admission is $5 at the
door.
Under the direction of
Furman’s Jay Bocook, the
Paladin Regiment will per-
form the set list from the
band’s 2018 Exhibition
Show “British Invasion,”
which explores the music
of iconic rock bands from
the United Kingdom.
This performance will
present Furman arrange-
ments of Led Zeppelin's
hit “Kashmir,” Men With-
out Hats' “Safety Dance,”
and the Beatles' “Eleanor
Rigby.”
The Paladin Regiment
will also perform tradi-
tional Furman tunes such
as the “Furman Fight
Song,” the “Victory Song”
and the “Alma Mater.”
The group will honor the
country with settings of
“America the Beautiful”
and “The Star-Spangled
Banner.” Also making an
appearance are favorite
stand charts “Hey Baby,”
“Gimme Some Lovin’,” and
“Jungle Boogie.”
The Paladin Regiment,
The Greer Citizen
based agency in Spar-
tanburg that helps local
citizens faced with hard
times. For each of the past
two years, Carolina Clay
Artists has donated more
than $33,000 to TOTAL
Ministries.
“This being Hub City
Empty Bowls’s 10th anni-
versary, we are hoping for
a historic turnout of peo-
ple on Soup Day,” Chair-
man Bruce Bowyer said.
“This is always the real
test of people’s concern
for others -- to come out
to Soup Day and get one
or two or three or more
bowls, and then enjoy
themselves with a won-
derful meal, music, and
people who share their
concern for others. Soup
Day is so many things:
heartwarming, creative,
community minded, giv-
ing, grassroots, and most
certainly fun. If you want
to see how a little bit of ef-
fort can produce great re-
sults, come to Soup Day. It
will change how you look
and feel about those less
fortunate.”
In preparation for Soup
Day, TOTAL Ministries has
secured soup and other
food-related donations
from the following restau-
rants and providers: Andre
Nguyen, Hub City Co-op,
Country Club of Spartan-
burg, Cribb’s Kitchen,

ural Foods, Gerhard’s

which will perform cho-

famous by Wilson Pick-
ett, and “Uptown Funk”

Why do
we have hair?
DEAR DR. ROACH:
There is a question that
has intrigued me for years:
What is the purpose of un-
derarm and pubic hair?
I guess, for that matter,
what is the purpose of any
body hair and hair on your
head? -- B.H.
ANSWER: Hair provides
protection from the sun
and helps regulate body
temperature. Many evolu-
tionary biologists believe
our distant ancestors be-
gan losing most body hair
when we began walking
upright.
Axillary (underarm) and
pubic hair are thought to
be conserved because they
reduce friction, wick mois-
ture away from the skin,
provide a small degree of
protection and as part of
sexual selection, possibly
due to pheromones, hor-
mones that act outside the
body to attract others.
***
DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m
confused. While it may be
true that the majority of
men having prostate can-
cer may never be bothered
by it, what about the mi-
nority whose lives will be
threatened by it? If they
aren’t screened and treat-
ed, many will die. -- G.F.
ANSWER: I had a pro-
fessor in medical school,
Dr. Larry Wood, who used
to say, “If I have confused
you, you’re probably pay-
ing attention.” You have
identified a major is-
sue with prostate cancer

THE BOLD AND
THE BEAUTIFUL
On the eve of his court
date to win custody of
Will, Bill attempted to
convince his other two
sons to testify on his be-
half. Brooke continued to
hide the fact that she had
been secretly meeting with
Bill, but Ridge discovered
that Bill had subpoenaed
Brooke to the witness
stand. Lawyers Carter Wal-
ton and Justin Barber go
to battle for their clients.
Ridge hoped that Judge
McMullen would honor the
request he made of his old
friend. Together at For-
rester Creations, Hope and
Steffy worried about Liam
and Wyatt and how they
were holding up during
this stressful time. Wyatt,
Brooke and Bill all took

screening (and screening
in general): If screening
harms some but saves the
lives of a few, is it worth
doing? That answer may
be different if you are
coming from a public pol-
icy perspective versus an
individual perspective.
Although we don’t know
the exact numbers, it is
estimated that about 47
men need to be treated for
prostate cancer in order to
save one life. Put anoth-
er way, 46 out of 47 men
are treated for prostate
cancer, with its attendant
risk of side effects, such
as loss of sexual function
and incontinence, without
reducing their likelihood
of dying of prostate can-
cer. We can’t predict with
certainty whose prostate
cancer is destined to kill
them and whose is des-
tined to be more indolent
and slow-growing. The
Gleason score, a measure
of pathologic appearance
of the cancer, helps, but is
not completely accurate.
Ninety percent of men
with screening-detected
prostate cancer elect to
get it treated. Based on
the many letters I get, all
of them feel like they were
the lucky ones to have
had their lethal cancer
removed -- even if, statis-
tically, most of them were
