Marine surprises
daughters after
overseas tour
BY AMANDA IRWIN
STAFF WRITER
My first deployment
Four-year-old Milani and

6-year-old Bree Samuel
were given an unforgettable Halloween gift Friday when their mom, U.S.
Marine Gunnery Sgt. Jacquelyn Samuel, surprised
them at their schools.
Jacquelyn had not seen
her daughters since last
February when she left
for her third deployment
since becoming a mom.
Its hard because I
dont get to see them. My
first deployment after I
had her, you miss the first
steps, the first words, but
its all a part of the job and
the sacrifice to serve the
country and contribute to
such a great nation, Jacquelyn said.
Bree is a Woodland Elementary student and Milani is a student at Dunbar
Child Development Center. The two girls knew
their mom would be home
later that night to go trickor-treating with them, but
they did not expect to see
her so soon.

Mill has been an area of
concern for tenants following a stop-work order
issued by Greenville County recently.
Greenville County Government Relations Officer
Bob Mihalic said the concerns are unwarranted,
however.
No ones getting kicked
out. Its a lot of misinformation out there, Mihalic
said. That common
area (in the mill) is where
the stop work area is. The
common area is where we
need to review stuff. The
other folks who are in their

OPINION
The Greer Citizen
A4 THE GREER CITIZEN
Its beginning to look a lot like...
his past Monday night, Oct. 27, taking back roads home from Greenville,
South Carolina, what did I see in the
window of a modest brick ranch out the
passenger side window?
A Christmas tree.
Yall: a six-footer, festooned with lights
and doing its best to create a cozy ambience as the days Indian Summer ebbed
into the mid 70s.
So thats who was buying the Christmas baubles and tinsel from the Dollar
Store in late August. I had sorta wondered...
Craning my neck like a hypnotized
deer at the lights, I wheeled the car up
the next side street to circle back and
make sure I saw what I thought I saw.
Yep. No doubt- there it was, in living
color.
So I figured one of two things were
going on: either this is the home of a
deployed soldier keeping a tree up all
year round to welcome him home (Ive
heard about lights in the window, so
why not?) or somebodys got a bad case
of Yuletiditis. Well, its a free countryif you want to put up your tree before
IM JUST

PAM STONE
Halloween and begin listening to Mariah
Carey warble away on her holiday album,
go right ahead. I admire your tenacious
spirit. Not your musical taste, but your
spirit.
Because Ive gotta tell you: as much as
I love celebrating Christmas, or going to
the movies, or eating pizza, or anything,
really, the thought of doing it for eight
straight weeks is horrifying. There are
radio stations that begin playing Christmas music, I kid you not, at midnight
on Halloween. That might work in
frigid New Hampshire, but in a southern
climate, where temps are often mild
and are downright balmy in November,
hearing Bing croon, Let it snow, let it
snow, let it snow! while Im as sweaty as
the unseen crevices of a Sumo wrestler
in the interior of my non-air conditioned

truck, is nothing short of torture.
I dont want to get into the Christmas
spirit, yet. Id like it to happen organically, well after Thanksgiving, upon hearing there is a chance of snow flurries
one afternoon, or noting the local grocery store is displaying cracked walnuts
and candied fruit for holiday baking.
Paul and I arent even sure where we
would put a tree this year- Ive inherited
my mothers cherished Edwardian china
cabinet. Its a beast, taking up almost
the entire wall against the stair railing
that our Christmas trees have previously
occupied. To put it there, now, would
look like Neil Patrick Harris wedged
up against the window seat by Michael
Moore (or Chris Christie, depending on
your political point of view), overlapping
and taking up both arm rests on a plane.
It would just look pitiful. And painful.
Growing up, my mother was keen that
we children should observe the season
of Advent, first: preparing ourselves
for the coming of the Christ child by
opening festive cardboard calendars and
slamming our siblings head first to the

floor for the the piece of chocolate that
fell out, like baseball fans grappling over
a foul ball, before she would even begin
decorating for the season. But it didnt
matter... regardless of our greed we were
aware of her point and it is one that has
stayed with me to this day.
So go ahead, Dollar Store, stock your
shelves, and be my guest, Fraser fir
farmers, haul your trees to the vacant
lots come mid November.
Ill turn a blind eye as I drive by and
probably stop listening to the radio as
well. Time to download.
Because Im pretty sure Iggy Pop never
put out a Christmas album.

Read Psalm 139:5-10
f a blind person leads another blind person, both will

fall into a ditch. Matthew
15:14 (CEB)
When my friends and I tried
ballroom dancing, we knew
our roles: the men lead and
the women follow. Growing
up as an American woman, I
believe women should never
subject themselves to mans
dominance. However, as I cam
to enjoy the complementary
dance roles of leader and follower and considered how God
desires to lead us, I realized to
my detriment that I may have
mistaken leading as dominance.
In ballroom dancing, the
mans purpose is to empower
his partner to express beauty,
elegance, and grace. He surveys
their surroundings, determines
their course, and guides the
woman by gently pressing his
hand against her back. Ill never
forget one partner who failed
to keep his hand strong and
purposeful. I was constantly
looking over my shoulder in
fear we might crash. However,
with a partner who confidently
took the leadcareful to guide
and protect my stepsI felt
safe and was free to enjoy the
dance.
Likewise, God desires to lead
usnot to dominate us. Because
we are made in Gods image,
when we yield ourselves to
Gods loving lead, we reflect
Gods beauty and grace back
onto a fearful, lost, and chaotic
world.
Prayer: Dear Lord, teach us
to follow your lead that we may
guide others into the truth of

EDITORIAL
Chance to give back arrives

with Big Thursday, toy drive
With all the talk of elections, Ebola outbreaks
and a still struggling economy, its hard for
many Americans to get in the spirit for a holiday that is less than eight weeks away.
But life doesnt seem to be as bleak in the
Greer area. Several new downtown shops are
popping up and construction is taking place
right on Depot Street. The City of Greer even
announced recently that it set a new record for
gross retail sales, topping last years mark.
This week, area residents have an opportunity
to give back in a few different ways. Big Thursday, the annual fundraiser for Greer Community Ministries, is an all-day event that brings the
community together in a way that few things
do outside of Family Fest. When Big Thursday
began in 1979, a gallon of gas was 19 cents and
a postage stamp was 15 cents.
Today, 35 years later, Greer Community Ministries is still able provide a warm, meal for $4,
but serving 350 meals each weekday costs the
ministry $1,400 daily.
That is why GCM officials say Big Thursday is
a crucial fundraiser for the organization.
Whether its buying barbeque or hot plates or
bidding on one of many amazing items in the silent and live auctions, there is truly something
for everyone to take advantage of.
The auctions include many items that would
make great Christmas gifts, including packages
that include the use of a brand new BMW for the
weekend, footballs signed Greer High and North
Greenville University football players, Clemson
football tickets and so much more.
On Sunday, the annual Syl Syl Toy Drive will
take place from 2-4 p.m.
This event makes an impact on so many levels. It honors the legacy of a woman who loved
this city and children during her life, which was
ended much too soon during a horrific bank
robbery that also claimed the lives of two others.
It is spearheaded by her sons, who not only
want to pay tribute to their mother and the
things that she believed in, but also want to
make sure that the tragedy of her death is nev-

er forgotten and to one day see that justice is
served and the people responsible for her death
are captured and held responsible.
The event is hosted each year by the Clock
restaurant, and is a reminder of what the business and its owners mean to the community.
The restaurant isnt open on Sundays, but Jimmy Chaulkas and his family gladly open their
doors each year for this occasion.
You can feel the love and warmth of this event
the moment you walk through the doors.
If you are someone who has been to either of
these events before, you know how rewarding it
is to be involved and this year shouldnt be any
different.
If you havent been to either one, make this
the year. Along with Greer Relief and the Greer
Soup Kitchen, Greer Community Ministries is a
vital part of our community.
Through the work of many, those agencies offer assistance to the less fortunate and elderly.
They make a difference in the lives of so many.
If you attend the toy drive, one of the best
things to do is bring one or several unwrapped
toys in, grab a cup of sweet tea and a plate of
snacks, and then grab a seat that will allow you
to just sit back and enjoy.
It is then you will see the kind of heart that
this community possesses as people walk in
with things as small as a doll to as large as a
bicycle, and do it all for the same reason.
They want to give back and make sure the holidays are a little merrier for those who havent
always had that.

esterday some of us took

time out of our day to research candidates, commute
to our polling place and stand
too long in line all to spend
five minutes to partake in the
democratic process by casting
our ballots on the issues the
that indirectly or directly effect
every American, South Carolinian or Greer resident whether
they choose to vote or not.
When this column prints
election results will have been
tallied and voters will be left
with either the satisfaction that
their candidate won or solace
that, though they fell in the
minority, at least their voice
was heard and their ballot represented. Coinciding with this
will be complaints from angry
voters and non-voters, and its
with those people in mind that I
compose this column.
First off, if you forwent your
right to vote, you deserve
whatever hand you are dealt.
I, nor the others who took the
time to vote, care to hear your
opinion on the political matters
you chose to forgo. We live in a
democratic nation that others
have died for a chance to become part of and millions more
have died to secure the rights
and privileges this nation was
established on and have upheld.
Around the world nations are
denying the same privileges
we have, not as a result of our
own efforts and sacrifices but
because of the sacrafices of
generations that came before.
Equality still needs to progress
and grow in our country, and
while voting isnt the only way
to accomplish this feat, its the
least we can do to honor our
heritage, our nations history
and for the future generations
who will be effected by our
decisions or lack thereof.
To the individuals who have
lost faith in our system and its
politicians, yesterdays elections
results - no matter the outcome
- arent going to be satisfactory to you, but I hope you find
resolve in this: National candidates begin their careers at the
local levels. If you dont like
the system, change it, improve
it and find candidates who can
justly serve a position. We live
in democracy, and there are
more responsibilities available
in a democratic society than
simply casting a ballot.
If you dont like the system
or the options, change them.
Thats the advantage of a democracy.

DAVE
SAYS
Q: My daughter is a
freshman in college, but I
didnt save for her education. My parents said it
was my job to pay for my
college, and thats what
Ive told her. Shes going
to have about $12,000 in
student loan debt after
her first year, but how
do I talk to her about not
ending up with $50,000 in
debt when shes through?
Q: Im a junior in college, and I live in a rental

house. Theres no formal
lease, and my landlord
never asked for a deposit
of any kind. Recently, I
started receiving notices
from Chase Mortgage
saying that my landlord
is $7,500 behind in his
mortgage. Im worried
about what will happen
if they foreclose on him.
Should I move out, stop
paying rent or what? Hes
told me not to worry,
because hes just behind
on the payments and not
in default.
DR: Well, the last part
is not quite true. When
youre behind on payments you are, by definition, in default. Still, I
think you should stay
right where you are for
now, and keep paying
your rent on time like
normal. Keep the lines of
communication open with
your landlord, too.
Id also contact Chase,
and tell them about your
situation in this house.
Ask them to keep you
informed about whats
happening with the property, so that youll have
time to formulate a plan
and find a new place to
live if the house goes into
foreclosure.
You might keep an eye
out for other properties in
the weeks ahead.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
DAVE
RAMSEY
DR: If you want her

to pay for college, then,
as her dad, you have to
coach her on how shes
supposed to come up
with the money and
manage it properly. Shes
already behind the eight
ball because it sounds
like you didnt teach her
the correlation between
work and money earlier.
So, youre going to have
to get real busy, real fast
unless you want her to be
drowning in debt when
she graduates.
I think you owe her
a leg up at this point.
Twelve thousand dollars
doesnt just magically
appear in an 18-year-olds
hands. Im perfectly
okay with kids working through college and
parents cracking the whip
when it comes to acting
responsibly. But if you
expect them to pay for
it, you first have to show
them how to do that.
Otherwise, theyre going
to hit the default button
and wind up $50,000 in
debt when they graduate.
Thats a really bad plan!
If you have some
money, I think you should
help her along while
teaching her how to make
money, save and budget.
Then, maybe shell be prepared to pay for her last
couple of years with some
good, hard work!

Zoning Appeals OKs

variance requests
Warehouse
to replace
car wash
BY AMANDA IRWIN
STAFF WRITER
The Board of Zoning
Appeals approved two
setback variance requests
during its meeting Monday night.
Commercially
zoned
property owned by Don
Foster, located at 721B S.
Main St. where a car wash
structure currently resides, received approval to
allow for exemption from
the required 20 feet setback, instead have a fivefoot setback. The variance
request will allow Foster
to remove the car wash
structure and construct
a warehouse building on
the property without the
required 20-foot setback
between the structure and
his home that resides on
adjacent property.
Staff recommended variance approval because the
request doesnt unreason-
ably restrict the use of this

property or others and
authorization of the variance shouldnt change the
character of the district, as
several other warehouses,
also owned by Foster, reside on nearby parcels.
A proposed apartment
complex to be located on
the northeast corner of
Buncombe and Brushy
Creek roads received approval for a 50-foot variance from the railroad
buffer setback requirements established in the
Hazard Mitigation Plan
that was established in
2010. As it stands the plan
requires more than 400
feet of right-of-way for
Norfolk Southern Railroad
Company railroads.
The board approved the
50-foot variance request
for the proposed DRD, design review district, zoned
property. This request approval will allow the developers to go forward with
the proposed construction
of a 300-unit multi-family
apartment complex. The
variance was approved
following staffs recommendation, which stated
the request wouldnt un-
reasonably restrict the

use of the property and
others within the corridor,
where the buffer is 600
feet and variance approval
shouldnt change the character of the district.

The Greer community

really let its light shine
for my brother, J. Van Collins. The family and I are
so grateful for all you have
done for us.
I would also like to thank
the Spirit of Truth family,
under the leadership of
Pastor Courtney Cohen,
for their dedication, devotion and generous expression of love and support
for my brother during and
after this transition from
earth to glory. Words cannot express our gratitude.
Thank you.
J. Van Collins was the
type of man that, if you
knew him, you would fall
in love with him. If you
needed a hand, J. Van
would give you two. He
lived a happy life and I
shall miss him dearly.
Your wonderful memories
of my brother and kind
words helped lift my spirits. We will take each day
as it comes. It is going to
take some time for us to
get over J. Vans death.
We are blessed to have
such good friends as you
in this great community
of Greer. We are unable
to write individual thank
yous to each one that
has shown support. Please
know that your generosity
and thoughtfulness has
touched us deeply. Knowing that we were not alone
helped us bear our grief

and sadness.
We do realize that J. Van
has just gone home, however, he still remains here
with us in our hearts. Our
God doesnt make mistakes; J. Van just completed his course. Every one of
us has to take that same
trip.
The family wants you
to know that our hearts
are touched and we will
never forget your love
and thoughtfulness. We
are thankful that you are
there for us at this difficult time.
We ask for your continued prayers that God
would carry us through
the days, weeks, months
and years to come. Thank
you for being there for us.

Weekend Outlook
Cool Weekend Weather
Cool temperatures, partly sunny skies and

showers are in our weekend forecast. After a
week of partly sunny skies and rain we will
see a big cool down in our temperatures for
Saturday and Sunday. Weekend temperatures
will fall to the upper 50s with overnight lows
in the upper 30s. Our average high for this
time of year is 67 with an average low of 45.
Have a great weekend!
Some tenants have become concerned over what

they described as a mall
designation assigned by
Greenville County. However, the mall designation
does not align with the
more commonly known
use of a mall.
Where the stop-work
order has been placed is
in an open area, which
is generally referred to as
a mall, Mihalic said. It
doesnt mean its like the
Haywood Mall or the Mall
of America Its a generic
term as a common area,
which is how it was described to us by the owner, who was asking for the
permits.

COUNCIL: Improvements begin in Greer

FROM PAGE ONE
be speakers that will be

here as part of that program and tours that will
take place over on the site
at the Inland Port, Greer
City Administrator Ed
Driggers said.
Residents can also expect to soon see improvements in downtown Greer
that will be conducted in
conjunction with the Wild
Ace Pizza and Pub construction. Last month, the
restaurant began construction an existing building
on Depot Street, which will
include an addition. Once
complete, the business
will relocate from its current Trade Street location.
We were able to celebrate with one of our
downtown businesses for
a groundbreaking, Driggers said. Were excited
that block is also going to
see some improvements
as part of that work that
theyre doing, but also as
a result of some work that
we will be doing as well.
(We have) been working
with Mr. ( Don) Holloman,
(city planning engineer),
and [were] looking to also
install a new curb and

gutter in that area, a new
sidewalk, new street lighting. Were really now really
going to be able to tie in
this area between Poinsett
and Depot streets in both
directions, he said. I
think it will be a wonderful improvement to downtown. Well see improvements to the roadway,
improvements to the gutter, improvements to the
storm drain system, improvements to the lighting
and also on that section

Since its start in 1980, Rice Bowls has grown to partner with 52 orphanages and feeds more than 1,700 kids 1.8 million
meals each year. The program serves orphans in Haiti.
A creative way to feed the hungry

BY KATIE CRUICE SMITH
Thirty-four years ago,
Dr. Alastair Walker was
on a mission trip to Calcutta when he began to
really notice the plight of
hundreds of children who
were quite literally starving to death.
Determined to do something about it, Walker returned home to the United
States to find out what he
could do.
Like Dodd said,

[the game] is kind
of like Alfred was to
Batmanequipping
him to go fight. It is
meant to equip kids.
Bryan Martin
Director of design and branding

Partnering with Bob
Caldwell (who owns a
candle business in Spartanburg), Walker came
up with the idea of making a piggy bank out of a
rice bowl, providing a way
for people to raise money
and talk about world hunger. And with that simple
idea, Rice Bowls, Inc. was
formed.
Since its start in 1980,
Rice Bowls has grown to
partner with 52 orphanages and feeds more
than 1,700 kids 1.8 million meals each year. But
in the last few years, the
non-profit began to find
it more difficult to raise
money.
Four or five years ago,
[the Rice Bowls board] realized that buying power
was changing because
people are using less
cash, said Bryan Martin,
who is the director of design and branding. I was
hired to make a new rice
bowl in the form of a video game.
The concept behind the
game is quite simple. Players are able to download
the app for free, and then
there are opportunities
to make purchases within
the game in order to advance through the levels.
One hundred percent of
the purchases go to Rice
Bowls.
Martin had never designed a video game prior
to working for Rice Bowls,
but he wasnt new to creating great ideas. As a
former advertising agent,
Martin has won seven different film festival awards
for commercials he created - including commercials for St. Francis Hospital. He also created some
of the advertising material
for Ken Hams Creation
Museum and worked on
some materials for Billy
Graham.
Neither Dodd [Caldwell,
president of Rice Bowls]
nor I had ever done video
games, said Martin. But I
didnt want to quit. I wanted to make it work.
Rice Bowls, Inc. officially launched Hunger
Crunch on Oct. 1, although they have not put
out an official word on the
PHOTO | SUBMITTED
Officials say Rice Bowls can only meet so many needs at this time. With more funding,
more orphanages will be able to be helped.
gaming blogs until they
have tweaked a few things
about the game.
The game itself is geared
for all ages with 12 levels.
All of the bad guys on
the game are personifications of hunger.
The purpose is to stomp
the minions as a way of
stomping out hunger.
Within each level, there
are items to unlock by
purchasing them.
There is no shooting or
blood in the game, said
Martin. Like Dodd said,
[the game] is kind of like
Alfred was to Batman
equipping him to go fight.
[This game] is meant to
equip kids. Heres a game
you can feel really good
about.
The game also allows
for tournaments between
schools, like the current
tournament between Byrnes and Dorman. Right
now, there are nine tournaments happening with a
few hundred kids.
But Martin wants to make
sure the primary goal isnt
lost rescuing children off
the streets and partnering
with real heroes who are
taking those children into
their homes.
Rice Bowls, Inc. does not
actually send food to the
hungry. Instead, they partner with homes in nine
different countries that
are taking children off the
street and raising them to
be productive members of
their own society. To help
promote the local economy, Rice Bowls, Inc. sends
these homes a check in
order for them to be able
to purchase locally-grown
food.
The orphanage gives
back into the economy,
and we eliminate shipping
costs, said Martin. We
are partnering with real
heroes by taking care of
100 percent of their food
budget. We have a nutritionist who looks at their
menus, and our goal is
to make sure these kids
receive three meals a day
and, hopefully, two snacks
a day.
But even with the number of orphanages that
are being helped by Rice
Bowls, there is always another one down the street
in need. Rice Bowls can
only meet so many needs
at this time. With more
funding, more orphanages
will be able to be helped.
For four years, Greer

Mill Church sat nestled in
the local mill community,
dedicated to meeting the
needs of the surrounding
neighborhoods.
But now, anyone driving
down Bobo Street in downtown Greer may notice the
church is no longer there.
On Sept. 15, Greer Mill
Church closed its doors
and moved to its previous
location at 1846 Old Hwy.
14.
As part of the move, the
church decided to change
its name to Journey Fellowship.
We sold the building on
Bobo Street because it was
too big and we had the opportunity to sell and to
buy back our old place,
said Pastor Jamie Bertolini. We went from 16,000
square feet down to 4,000
square feet. We figured
God had a reason for us to
go back to our home location.
The Greer Mill location
was built in the 1950s as
a YMCA and was never
intended to be a church
building, although it has
served the small church
well for the past few
years.
Currently, a software
company is gutting it for
their own use.
We have stayed the
same in numbers [since the
move], said Bertolini. But
our numbers had dropped
significantly when we left
the first time [from the
original location]. We are
hoping to have an impact
on some of the people
who have left church for
whatever reason.
The staff has basically
stayed the same except
for the addition of a new
youth pastor, Justin Bubba Johnson, who joined
the church staff in July.

My wish is that people
get behind Rice Bowls and
Hunger Crunch and donate, said Martin. They
can be monthly givers of
$30 a month, and they
can spread the word. Make
Hunger Crunch known;
it has a beautiful purpose
give it a try.
Word about the game
has spread mostly through
the games Facebook page

and word-of-mouth.
We are hopeful that God
will look at us and what we
are doing and wink at us,
said Martin. We hope He
will bless us.

The church is unlike

many other churches in
the area as it started as
a biker ministry in 2005.
The church still has a biker ministry, and it has expanded its focus to those
people who may not look
like a typical churchgoer. The ministry began
as Rushing Winds Ministries, changing its name
to Greer Mill Church when
it changed locations. So it
only seemed right that the
church should change its
name again when it left
the Greer mill village.
God impressed on me
that the body of Christ is
on a journey, said Bertolini. Something was guiding me to that name.
So when the church reopened its doors on Old
Highway 14, it debuted its
new name.
Currently, the church is
going through a development phase, evaluating
how they can best serve
the surrounding communities. They have just one
service right now at 11
a.m. on Sunday, and the
youth meet on Thursday
or Friday.
We are hoping the location and visibility will
open doors for opportunities, said Bertolini. We
already have seen one
person come back who
stopped attending our
church when we moved.
We dont want to be your
traditional ministry. We
want to reach people who
have been hurt by church,
and we want to meet people where theyre at.
On an average Sunday,
the small church sees
about 50 people in attendance, but the new church
building has room for
150.
Bertolini said that the
main focus right now is
to encourage people to
come back and see what
God can do.

One hundred years of fire service in Greer has come with many changes. The fire department was established in 1914, but did not get its first fire truck until 1919. On Saturday, a few
engines from the old days were on hand to help the department commemorate its milestone anniversary.
Greer Fire Department celebrates a century

Members of the community were on hand to help
the Greer Fire Department
celebrate 100 years of service last Saturday.
The event included an
open house that allowed
local residents to partake
in car seat inspections, a
time capsule burial and a
formal ceremony.
The Greer Fire Department began its service on
Nov. 1, 1914, as Greer Fire
Company was established
on Randall Street. Mack
Fowler was named the
first fire chief.
The first Greer Fire Department was composed
of all volunteers, which
included John Keller, Marshall Pennington, Tom
Hendrix and W.H. Pennington. The volunteers were
tasked with fighting fires
without turnout gear and
without a truck. Volunteers rather had two hand
reels with 500 feet of hose
that they carried to the
scene of fires.
The Greer Fire Company
would not possess a fire
truck until 1919, and it
would serve as Greers
only fire truck for 22 years.
Greers first fire truck driver was Sam Maheffey, who
was also the departments
first full-time fireman.
Through the years, the
departments community
involvement extended beyond fighting fires. The
Greer Fire Department
also responds to medical
and public service calls,
participates in community
service projects, such as
Fire Prevention week, car
seat installations and inhome inspections.
In conjunction with the
milestone
anniversary,
current Chief Chris Harvey
announced he would retire
in the coming year.

free car seat inspection during Saturdays event.

Austin Parris, along with his sister, Casey, gets a taste of what its like to ride in the captains
chair in one of the City of Greers fire trucks.
Gunner Levschel put on a full firemans uniform to help

celebrate.
The Greer Fire Department opened its doors to the community, hosting an open house on Saturday afternoon. The
event featured tours, safety tips and demonstrations.

WITH CRIMINAL
SOLICITATION OF A MINOR
On Oct. 28, the Greenville County Sheriffs Office arrested and charged
47-year-old Joseph Martin
Trusty with criminal solicitation of a minor.
According to the Sheriffs Office, Trusty solicited a sexual encounter with

INMAN MAN CHARGED

WITH ASSAULTING MINOR
Last week, an investigator with the Special Victims

Unit of the Spartanburg
County Sheriffs Office
arrested Lester T. Collins,
71, of 161 Fagan Drive,
Inman, for the offense of
criminal sexual conduct
with a minor (first degree).
The teenage victim and
her family filed a report
with authorities alleging
the suspect assaulted her
when she was 9 years old.
The victim was interviewed
at the Childrens Advocacy
Center, where she gave a
detailed disclosure against
the suspect.
Collins came to the office last week for an interview, where he confessed
to the allegations and was
transported to the detention facility. Because of
the charge, the bond for
Collins will have to be set
by a circuit court judge instead of a magistrate.

woman faces charges after
she attempted to hit her
ex-boyfriend with a car.
Spartanburg
County
deputies said they were
called to the victims
home on Sweetbriar Lane
just after 2 p.m. Monday.
The victim told deputies that Heather Underwoods behavior had
become increasingly erratic since he had her
evicted earlier in the year.
He said, according to investigative reports, that he
had applied for a restraining order and arranged
for it to be served to Underwood, 27, at his home.
After the restraining order was issued, the victim
said Underwood locked
herself in a room and
threatened to harm herself, which prompted the
victim to call 911.
Before deputies arrived,
the victim said Underwood

Andrew Block, English instructor at Greenville Technical College, pictured center, was given a tour of the flight deck of
the USS Reagan (CVN 76), courtesy one of his U.S. Navy students.
The Greer Council of Garden Clubs is working to restore

the Blue Star Memorial Highway marker at Century Park.
Blue Ridge High ROTC students helped with the project
last week.
Greenville Technical College

instructor takes talents to sea
Greenville
Technical
College English instructor
Andrew Block has taken
his lessons to sea, spending five of the last six
summers aboard U.S. Navy
ships as an educator.
Block has taught college
courses to sailors and Marines on five different vessels, visiting 20 different
countries along the way.
Working in this program has been a wonderful experience for me and,
I believe, for my sailor
and
Marine
students,
too, Block said. I loved
the simplicity of lifemy
food was prepared for me,
I didnt have to drive to
work and the ships company made me feel very
welcome.
Block has worked in
conjunction
with
the
Navy College Program for
Afloat College Education
(NCPACE) since 2008. Instructors with the program must have a masters
degree in the subject they
plan to teach, and must
pass a physical exam to
participate
His first assignment was
in 2009 where he boarded
the USS Ronald Reagan
(CVN 76), an aircraft carrier in San Diego. During
his first trip, Block cruised
to Singapore for a two-day
visit.
The USS Russell (DDG
59), a destroyer, served
as his floating classroom
in the summer of 2010,
deploying at Bahrain and
going to Kota Kinabalu,
Malaysia.
During the summer of
2011, he taught on board
the USS Bradley (FE 1041),
deploying at Mayport,
Florida and visiting seven
West African countries. He
also taught crew members

on the USS Truxton (DDG
103), cruising to Cyprus,
Israel and Djibouti.
I particularly found the
Bradleys visits to West Africa interesting because of
the terrain of the land, the
tropical vegetation and
the customs and dress of
the people, Block said.
His summer break in
2012 was spent on the USS
George Washington (CVN
73), an aircraft carrier deploying from Yokosuka,
Japan and visiting Pusan,
South Korea and Hong
Kong.
He taught from the USS
Bataan (LHD 5) this past
summer, cruising to Bahrain.
On the larger ships,
Blocks classes were conducted in training rooms
while, on the smaller
ships, classes were held
on the mess deck. Classes

ranged in size from six
to 15 crew members and
were scheduled between 9
a.m.-6 p.m. on a given day
of the week.
Those attending were
given credit in the NCPACE
program that are transferrable to numerous colleges
and universities, enabling
servicemen and women to
continue their education
and pursue and undergraduate degree.
Block said he still keeps
in touch with one of his
at sea students, who is
now studying psychology
at a university in Pennsylvania.
Block has not applied for
a contract for the summer
of 2015, but continues his
work as a full-time instructor at Greenville Technical
Colleges Greer campus.

Greer blew the stripes

off the Tigers of Blue Ridge
on Friday night to cap an
undefeated regular season
and join the ranks of elite
teams in the schools storied football history.
This group has been
focused and played at
a high level every week,
and we did that again to-
It was spirit week

at school, with a
pep rally and we let
the kids enjoy all
of that. But when it
came time to play,
they were ready.
Will Young
Greer head coach

night, Greer Coach Will
Young said after the 510 blowout. It was spirit
week at school, with a pep
rally and we let the kids
enjoy all of that. But when
it came time to play, they
were ready.
Young said the 10-0 Yellow Jackets did not have
an undefeated season as
a primary goal. Our focus
has been to win the region
outright, because the last
two years, we had to share
the region championship
even though we finished
first on points. We wanted
to be number one by ourselves, because thats the
way it used to be.
Another motivation was
revenge. We lost to them
last year when we thought
we had the better team, al-
though Blue Ridge certainly played at a higher level

than we did then, Young
said. We used that to
motivate the kids to work
hard in the summer and to
play at a high level.
Depleted by suspensions
and injury, Blue Ridge
needed a near perfect
outing Friday, but things
started going downhill on
the opening kickoff when
a penalty left the Tigers at
their own 10-yard line. The
game quickly deteriorated
for Blue Ridge when the
host Yellow Jackets took
advantage of short field
opportunities to put four
touchdowns on the board
in the first period.
Forcing a short punt
with: 90 seconds having
elapsed in the game, Greer
cruised 34 yards to the
end zone in three plays.
Mario
Cusano
scored
from 15 yards out on a
quarterback keeper, but
Blue Ridges John Patrick
blocked Nick Robersons
extra point kick, leaving
the score at 6-0.
JACKETS STRIKE AGAIN
The
Yellow
Jackets
struck again just two minutes later after Dorian
Lindsey returned a Tigers punt to the visitors
16-yard line. Linebacker
Isaiah Long had put Blue
Ridge in a hole at the 10yard line where he sacked
quarterback Jay Urich on
third down. Cusano found
Lindsey in the end zone
for a touchdown on the
first play from scrimmage.
The Yellow Jackets added
a two-point conversion
with some trickery when
Lindsey took a pitch and
fired a pass to Cusano to
make it 14-0. We had to
have a little fun, Young
explained.

I
Adrian McGee and the undefeated Yellow Jackets blew past Blue Ridge last Friday night,
dominating the rivalry matchup in a 51-0 victory.
Blue Ridge moved out
to the 45-yard line on the
next series, but Greers
defense held on fourthand-one to hand the ball
over to the offense. Our
defense has been playing
great, Young declared.
I really enjoy watching
those kids, they way they
fly around and get to the
ball.
Two plays later, Greer
struck again when Cusano
delivered a 43-yard pass
to Troy Pride streaking
down the sidelines. Robersons conversion upped
the score to 21-0.
After forcing another
punt, the Yellow Jackets
swarmed 48 yards to score
in five plays. Adrian McSEE GREER | B5

The Warriors are playoff bound,

Now riding a three-game win
streak, head coach Phil Smith said
this is a major accomplishment
for the program.
Riverside has been so down for
a while, he said. I dont think
a whole lot of people gave us a

so. Coming off of 0-11, you dont

were already at the tail
end of another high
school football season.
Weve seen some incredible performances over
the last 10 weeks, and as
we get set for playoffs
to start Friday, I thought
this would be a good time
to reflect on some of the
seasons best moments.
For Greer, this undefeated season could have
looked a whole lot different if the Jackets hadnt
made some magic happen
during its first few games.
Greer trailed in three of
its first four games, using
a second half comeback
against Clinton, a gamewinning Hail Mary at
Union and a late surge at
Emerald to remain one of
the states top contenders. Since then, Greer has
been punishing teams,
beating rival Blue Ridge
by more than 50 points
in the season finale. Many
fans in the area have high
hopes that this will be a
truly special season for
their Yellow Jackets, and
if the team continues to
stay focused, I might have
to agree. Greer will be a
tough out this November.
The Rebels have had
their share of cool moments this season as well,
traveling to California
back in September to take
on De La Salle, one of the
nations top programs.
Although they didnt
come up with the win,
the Rebels have been on
a tear, blowing through
the next eight games and
claiming a region championship and the states
No. 1 ranking. Byrnes is
one of the most talented
teams you will find on
the high school gridiron.
From top to bottom, that
roster is loaded. You
can expect to see a lot
of those guys playing on
Saturdays in the very near
future. Heading into the
playoffs, Byrnes has positioned itself as the team
to beat in Class AAAA.
Only time will tell if coach
Brian Lanes first season
as a Rebel ends with a trip
to Columbia.
Riverside has essentially
been the story of the year.
The Warriors didnt win
a game last season, but
have proved themselves
in 2014, pulling out four
region victories and securing a spot in the playoffs.
The team got its first-ever
region win against Boiling
Springs on Oct. 3, and the
celebration after the game
said it all. This is a team
that has worked hard to
improve and it has finally
shown up in the win-loss
column. Coach Phil Smith
and his staff will be
competing for third place
in the region this week,
battling for better playoff
seeding. If the offense
can continue to generate
points and Riverside can
get the ball in the hands
of its playmakers, Id
watch out for Riverside
this November.
Blue Ridge has been
nothing short of consistent all season long, but
the Tigers hit some late
roadblocks that have really taken their toll. Despite
the recent struggles, Blue
Ridge has gotten solid
leadership from guys like
Melvin Smith, Tay Jenkins
and Brian Garrett. Theyve

Henderson gives
Greer leadership
in the trenches
BY BILLY CANNADA
SPORTS EDITOR
Cole Henderson has been
a force in the trenches for
the Yellow Jackets all season, and Friday night his
hard work paid off.
Henderson willed his
team to a 51-0 win over
rival Blue Ridge, capping
a perfect 10- regular season and earning Offensive
Player of the Week honors
from The Greer Citizen
and Owens Insurance.
Beating Blue Ridge 510 was a dream come true,
because were such big
rivals, Henderson said.
To end the season off
like that, especially with
us being undefeated, was
unreal.
Greer coach Will Young
said Hendersons leadership has played a vital role
in the teams success.
He is probably the
hardest working kid on
the entire football team,
Young said. In the weight
room, in the classroom, in
practicehes just one of
those kids you can look to.
He plays whistle to whistle, does not take plays off
and constantly works as
hard as he can.
Henderson said the his
teammates have bought in
to what the coaches have
been preaching.
Weve had good chemistry, he said. Were not
playing as individuals,
were playing as a team.
Weve been able to stay to-
gether and stay strong.

The senior big man has
also spent some time on
the defensive line this season.
Offensive line is my
main position, but playing
d-line is fun too, he said.
I like to get in there on
both sides of the ball.
With Greer accumulating
impressive numbers on
offense, Henderson said
the teams success can be
linked to good coaching.
I guess its just great
coaching, he said. Coach
Young is a really good
offensive line coach. We
just have really good guys
right now that are experienced.
Greer heads into the
postseason with a No. 1
seed, facing Clinton in a
rematch.
I remember we were
down 14-0 at halftime,
but I wasnt worried, he
said. I knew we were better than them from the
start. We just made some
mistakes in the first game.
I think were going to be
a little better this time
around.
To reach the teams
goals of a state championship, Henderson said the
Yellow Jackets will have to
stay focused.
We have to keep working hard at practice, he
said. Everyone has to stay
focused on the goal.

The Rebels needed a big
night from Lyrics Klugh,
and they got it.
Byrnes defeated Dorman
17-16 Friday night, securing a region championship
and maintaining the states
top ranking. The senior
defensive back had eight
first hits, four assisted
tackles and recorded two
broken up passes during
the win, earning Defensive
Player of the Week honors
from The Greer Citizen
and Owens Insurance.
Going into the

game, the talk
of the town was
[Dorman wide
receiver] J.J.
(Whiteside) and who
was going to stop
him. People were
saying that I wasnt
good enough to stop
him, but I just used
that as motivation.
Lyrics Klugh
It was a big win for us,
Klugh said. Going into
the game, the talk of the
town was [Dorman wide
receiver] J.J. (Whiteside)
and who was going to stop
him. People were saying
that I wasnt good enough
to stop him, but I just
used that as motivation.
My team helped me. The
defense helped me and he
didnt even score.
Shutting Whiteside down
was no simple task.
Its a big task and a difficult one to take on, he
said. Hes a great player.
I respect him and everything. I just had to do what
I had to do.
Throughout the year, Byrnes has relied heavily on

an experienced defense.
This is one of the best
defenses
weve
had,
Klugh said. All around,
were solid. The defensive
line is good, the LBs are
good, the DBs are probably the best were going
to have in a whilewe just
all come together and play
hard.
Head coach Brian Lane
said Klughs versatility
makes him dangerous.
Hes a good kid and a
good player, Lane said.
Hes very versatile. He
can play any position on
the field. You try to put
guys with their strengths,
but hes just that good of
an athlete. [We get] a lot
out of him on both sides
of the ball and on special
teams.
Heading into senior
night this Friday, Klugh
said his career at Byrnes
has gone by fast.
Its crazy, Klugh said.
Everything has gone by
so fast. I still cant believe
my senior day is Friday. It
could have been my last
time playing on Nixon
Field, but I have at least
two more times.
The team still has more
goals to accomplish.
Its kind of hard not to
overlook Wade Hampton
with playoffs being right
there, Klugh said. But,
weve just got to stay focused on the task ahead
and take it one game at a
time.
I feel more confident
than I did going into the
season, he said. I feel
like weve gotten a lot
better. The offense has
picked up a little bit more.
The defense is getting better day-by-day. I just feel
like were going to go all
the way.
With solid players across
the board, Klugh is looking for his team to make
a deep run into the playoffs.
We have a lot of good
players,
Klugh
said.
Theres a lot of guys we
can go to. There are guys
on defense who can play
offense and guys on offense who can play defense. Weve got a lot of
weapons we can use
weve just got to find ways
to use them.

Jackets open playoffs with rematch

By Leland Burch
For The Greer Citizen
With the schools first
undefeated season in 20
years on the books, Greer
begins the quest for the
state 3-A football title
this Friday at 7:30 p.m. at
Dooley Field in a return
engagement with Clinton.
The Yellow Jackets overcame a 14-point halftime
deficit to defeat Clinton
on Aug. 29. and have never looked back. Nine wins
later, Coach Will Young
& Co. are facing a greater
challenge, and he admits,
It wont be easy. We need
a lot of things to go our
way if we put 2014 on the
water tank, Young says.
The approach will be
the same. Right now,
we only want to win this
Friday night. Focusing
on one game at a time is
what weve done all year,
and our kids are mature
enough to buy into it. The
only thing we can control
is how we play this Friday
night there is nothing
we can do about the next
one.
Should Greer, 10-0, dispatch the Red Devils again,
the team would have a
home game for the second
round against the winner
of Belton-Honea Path vs.
Lower Richland.
After having come from
behind only twice, against
Clinton and Union, the
Yellow Jackets recorded
seven blowout wins. The
score was never our focus. In fact, the best thing
that happened all year was
playing at Southside without a scoreboard, Young
said. We challenge our
kids to play better each
week, and all we can do is
go out and play the schedule. The best teams we will
see are ahead of us, but
we dont care about any of
Mandy Ferguson | File Photo
Clinton blitzed Greer in the first game of the regular season, earning a 14-point lead at halftime. The two will meet again
this Friday night in round one of the Class AAA playoffs.
them, just Clinton.

With that being said,
Clinton is a familiar customer. The two teams
have played 46 games
with Greer winning 26
times. Clinton does the
same thing they have done
for 50 years, mostly run
the ball right at you and
control the clock. This is
a big challenge, because it
limits your number of possessions which forces you
to be more perfect offensively, Young explains.
But we have a special de-
fense just for Clinton, and

it goes back at least 30
years.
The Red Devils opened
with seven straight losses,
and then beat Chester and
Union to squeeze into the
playoffs as the fourth seed
from Region III. Clinton
lost to region champion
South Pointe, 21-14, last
week.
Clinton has improved
Clinton has obviously

improved since August,
Young notes. They are
doing a little wildcat formation on and off, but it is

still the same stuff we are
used to seeing. They will
put a couple of extra linemen in there to get more
blockers at the point of attack. What they really like
to do is get you sucked up
by the run and then use
a bootleg or play action
pass. Clinton only does
this two or three times a
game, which catches you
off guard.
Jay Fuller, a junior, has
taken over for Charlie Cra-
ven at quarterback. But

Shakeam Dowdy, the big
running back, still carries
most of the load, Young
continued. Dowdy rushed
for 78 yards on 22 carries
against Greer in the first
game.
He said the Red Devils
have made several defensive changes that included
inserting a pair of new
linebackers and rotating
a defensive lineman. But
their defensive scheme is
the same and very similar
to what Blue Ridge used
against us last week.

While Clinton is not
dramatically different, we
are, Young declares. We
are starting a different
running back in Adrian
McGee, and the things
that our defense has done
since the Clinton game are
very impressive.
Dorian Lindsey stunned
the Red Devils in the second half of the season
opener. Running out of
the Wildcat and catching passes, Lindsey accounted for all three Greer
touchdowns with 219 allpurpose yards. We have
many ways to use Dorian
and the Wildcat is something we could always do
again, Young suggested.
Wide receiver Zach Glidden, who missed the last
two games with an injury,
is expected back this week.
But defensive back Deandre Moren is sidelined
with a sprained knee that
he suffered in the Blue
Ridge game.
Greers only downer
this season occurred recently when the Yellow
Jackets were ignored for
post season all star team
selections. That was very
disappointing, because we
have some good kids in
the senior class who were
deserving, Young said.
The coaching staffs for
the Shrine Bowl and North
South evaluate kids all
over the state, and I dont
know how they overlooked
us because you couldnt
have an undefeated season without some very
good seniors.
But those seniors have
handled it pretty well.
They said the main thing
they wanted to do was to
win the region championship outright, and they
accomplished that last Friday night, he concluded.

Blue Ridge will need to shake off an embarrassing loss to Greer quickly with playoffs
beginning this Friday. The Tigers will travel to South Pointe for round one.
Blue Ridge needs a

quick turnaround
By Billy Cannada
Sports Editor
Blue Ridge is fresh off a
demoralizing 51-0 loss to
rival Greer, but the Tigers
will not have time to lick
their wounds.
We have to regroup,
head coach Shane Clark
said. We are in the playoffs and everybody starts
at even keel. Everybody
has to win to stay in and
theres a lot of teams right
now that are practicing
basketball or sitting at
home.
Clark said Greer was able
to take advantage of some
of the teams weaknesses,
making it impossible to
mount a comeback in the
regular season finale.
Weve had a lot of things
going in the last couple of
weeks, he said. Even on
Friday night, we lost three
guystwo in the first series. We lost Vonta Jenkins
by halftime. Its just tough
to try to get some guys to
step in for the first time in
that type of situation.
After being dominated
like we were, weve got to
get that out of our minds,
Clark added. Weve got to
get ourselves motivated
and focus. For us, everything has shifted to South

Pointe.
South Pointe, a No. 1
seed, will be tough to stop,
Clark said.
Theyre a different
style of offense, he said.
After being
dominated like we
were, weve got to
get that out of our
minds.
Shane Clark
Blue Ridge Head Coach

They do some different
things with the spread
and theyre a very athletic
group. Theyre big guys. I
think theyve got a couple
of North-South guys on
the team so theyll be a big
challenge for us.
The Stallions will line up
in multiple formations on
defense.
Sometimes its a fourman front, sometimes
its a three-man front
and sometimes theyre in
a two-man front, Clark
said. It seems like they do

something different every
other play.
Theyll show multiple
looks on offense, too, he
said. Theyll run some
power offense and some
spread looks. Weve got to
be ready for anything.
Clark said the Tigers focus is going to be on playing fundamental football.
Obviously, were going
to cover our fundamentals, Clark said. We do
that everyday. We have to
make sure were executing and doing what were
supposed to do. We cant
be worried about other
people and everybody has
to be responsible for their
own assignments.
Ending the regular season on a two-game losing
skid is not the way Clark
had hoped things would
pan out, but he is confident the Tigers can right
the ship.
Weve got to get everybody on board and do
what we want to do here
at Blue Ridge, Clark said.
We think our guys will respond.
Kickoff is set for 7:30
p.m. Friday in Rock Hill.
Third place in the region

will be on the line this
Friday night as Riverside
coach Phil Smith gets set
to square off with some
familiar faces.
The Warriors will host
Dorman in the regular season finale, a team Smith
helped coach just two
years ago.
Having worked there for
six years and been a part
of that staff, we played
in a lot of big games, he
said.
Smith competed for two
state titles during his stint
with the cavaliers, winning
one.
Working beside coach
(David) Gutshall and seeing what he does, hes a
football wizard, he said.
He can definitely find
your weaknesses and exploit those. That was a
great staff we had there
for all those years and Im
still really close with those
guys. Its going to be a
great atmosphere.
This years matchup will
mean a lot more to Smith.
The stakes were a lot
different last year, he
said. This year theyre
much higher. Were playing for third place in region two. This isnt just a
game to end the season,
this is a big game for us
and them. Points-wise, it
can make a difference of
where you go in the playoffs and were just happy
to have this opportunity.
Hopefully we can go out
there and execute and do
what weve been doing for
the past five weeks.
On defense, Smith said
Dorman has not changed
much.
Theyll run a 4-3,
Smith said. Theyre good
up front. Theyve got some
good linebackers--one of
them has been offered by
Army. Their safety is a
Shrine Bowl player. Its going to be tough.
The Warriors will have
their hands full trying to
defend a talented cavalier
receiving corps.
Theyve got a lot of

Riverside Head Coach

good athletes, Smith said.
They run a very similar
offense to what we do,
with a little more trap.
Theyre not as big up front
as what weve faced in the
past, but theyre quick.
Were just going to have to
make sure we play sound
up front and limit mistakes.
We have to take away
the big play, he continued. If J.J. (Whiteside)
gets the ball in his hands,
hes going to try and hurt
you. We have to make sure
we eliminate the big play
and make them snap it
again.
Having won three consecutive region games,
Smith said he expects
nothing short of a chess
match against Dorman.
Its going to be a chess
match between coach Gutshall and myself, he said.

He calls the offense and
he knows I call the defense. He kind of knows
what Im going to do and I
kind of know what hes going to do. It comes down
to figuring out what the
other thinks youre going
to do and switch it. Were
going to throw in a few
wrinkles.
Riverside will need to
get the ball to its playmakers early and often.
We have to get Emanuel
(Jackson) the football and
move it down the field,
Smith said. Weve got to
limit our turnovers and
play a sound game on offense.

The Crusaders got back

on track with a 24-14 victory over the Bulldogs of
Wingate University last
Saturday afternoon in Tigerville.
The Crusader defense
started out strong, forcing Wingate to punt on
their first two drives of
the game. On the second
drive of the contest, a 32yad field goal from senior
Justin Gravely put North
Greenville ahead 3-0.
After sophomore safety
Tony Godbolt picked off
a Wingate pass on the ensuing drive, the Crusaders drove 56 yards on five
plays, finishing the drive
with a 25-yard touchdown
run
from
sophomore
Simeon Byrd, gaining a 100 edge.
In the second quarter,
Wingate took advantage
of a poor punt, scoring
on a 36-yard touchdown
pass from Kyle Johnson
to Jiwan Funderburk, cutting the North Greenville
lead to 10-7 with just over
three minutes left to play
in the half.
The Bulldogs drove 41
yards on nine plays on
their opening drive of the
second half, taking a 1410 lead. The Crusaders
were forced to punt on
their next two offensive
possessions.
North Greenville opened
the fourth quarter in exciting fashion, as red shirt
freshman Roderick McCray blocked a Wingate
punt that was recovered
and returned 15 yards by
freshman Daulton Pilgrim,
giving the Crusaders a 1714 lead.
The Crusaders extended
their lead to 24-14 after a
44-yard touchdown run by
Byrd ended a three-play,
46-yard drive. An interception from senior Quantel Mack, his second of the
day, gave the Crusaders
the ball back and sealed
the win for North Greenville.
The Crusader offense
put up 384 yards on one
of the top defenses in the
South Atlantic Conference, including 189 yards
on the ground. Byrd led
the rushing attack, totaling 104 yards and two
touchdowns on 17 carries.
Junior Trey Walker carried
13 times for 82 yards in
the game.
Junior quarterback Nelson Hughes completed 16of-31 passes for 195 yards,
including five passes for
95 yards to senior receiver
B5
Thomas Weeks III.

North Greenvilles defense was once again a deciding factor in the game,
intercepting three Wingate passes and totaling
a season-high five sacks
in the game. Sophomore
Sam Houston led the unit
with 14 total tackles and
one tackle for loss. Junior
Taylor Anderson totaled
11 tackles with three pass
breakups.
Godbolt recorded 11
tackles of his own with an
interception and two pass
breakups. Junior Darius

in Conference Carolinas
play last Saturday afternoon, dropping a 3-1 decision to Emmanuel College
(Georgia).
The North Greenville offense floundered during
Saturdays showdown, hitting at .101 for the match.
The Crusaders put down
45 kills on 159 attempts
against the Lions, whose
defense at the net proved
to be a difference maker,
registering 10 assisted
blocks and a solo block.
The Lady Crusaders were
led by Yomi Adeyeye, who
had 14 kills. Taylor Dupes
had nine kills of her own.
North Greenvilles defense was also solid, putting together six solo
blocks and five assists at
the net while also collecting 89 digs. Megan Gouge
led the defense in blocks
with two solo and two assists. Brooke Stowell had
two solo blocks. The Crusaders had three defenders with double-digit digs,
led by team leader Hannah
Lewis who had 22. Taylor
Dupes had 21 digs while
Elizabeth James had 18.
James registered North
Greenvilles only doubledouble with 26 assists to
go along with her digs.
The Crusaders dropped
game one of Saturdays
road contest 25-20, but
evened the set total at 11 after winning the second frame 25-21. The two
squads would battle closely in the final two sets, but
the Lions would come out
on top of both, taking the
third by the score of 2520 and fourth, 25-19. The
Crusaders will be back on
the court Nov. 5 against
Limestone College in Gaffney.
GREER: Scores early and often during dominating victory over rival Blue Ridge
FROM B1
Gee was the workhorse in

the drive that he launched
with an 18 yard run and
later capped with a sixyard burst over the middle
to make it 28-0 with: 34
seconds left in the quarter.
Lindsey returned Blue
Ridges next punt 50 yards
for a touchdown only to
have the score nullified by
a penalty. The Tigers then
forced a punt, and got off
their only big play of the
half. Urich fired a pass to
Vonta Jenkins in the flat,
and the junior wide receiver scooted 50 yards down
the sidelines. Blue Ridge
moved on for another
first down at Greers 17yard line, but the Yellow
Jackets defense halted the
Tigers in their tracks. Jon
Michael Brights 33-yard
field goal attempt was just
wide of the uprights with
5:35 remaining in the half.
Greer came right back
with an 80-yard scoring
drive that required only
four plays. McGee bolted
24 yards up the middle for
the touchdown that built
the lead to 35-0.
83-YARD PASS
The Yellow Jackets put

the game out of reach with
1:22 left in the half when
Cusano found Lindsey behind the Blue Ridge secondary on an 83-yard pass
play for a touchdown that
made it 42-0.
After the athletic programs seniors were honored during halftime,
Greer took the second
half kickoff and drove 78
yards in six plays for a final touchdown. McGee had

runs of 30 and 22 yards
along the way, and Cusano
concluded the drive with a
19-yard touchdown pass
to Xavier Wright. The Yellow Jackets botched the
extra point, however.
McGee returned a Blue
Ridge punt 25 yards to
the Tigers nine to set up
Greers final score later
in the quarter. On fourth
down at the five, Roberson
came on to kick a 22-yard
field goal.
Blue Ridge moved into
Greer territory early in the
fourth period, but Pride
stopped the Tigers when
he intercepted a pass at
the one-yard line. The Yellow Jackets turned to McGee to get them out of the
hole with runs of 10 and
18 yards before trotting
out the second unit for the
remainder of the game.
McGee wound up with
208 yards on 14 carries.
I was really pleased with
the way Adrian ran tonight, and Im proud of
our offensive line. It is the
first time I have ever had
all five offensive linemen
to grade 80% or higher in
a game, Young said.
The stats were as onesided as the score. Greer
piled up 469 yards of total
offense for 18 first downs.
The Yellow Jackets completed 12 of 18 passes for
182 air yards and rushed
for 287 yards.
Greers defense held
Blue Ridge to 137 total
yards and six first downs
as Long, Tiquan Lyles,
Nakeem Hoke and Tyler
Wright recorded sacks.
Falling to 6-4 overall, the

Tigers rushed for 57 yards
and completed 7 of 19
passes for 80 yards. All
of our kids on the defensive side played extremely
well, Young said.
The Yellow Jackets did
not have a turnover, but
were hit with eight penalties for 70 yards. Blue
Ridge was penalized 72
yards on eight flags and
had one pass intercepted.

RING OF HONOR HONORS

THE BEST OF THE BEST
This years Greer High

Athletic Ring of Honor inductee is Steve Satterfield
from the Class of 1956. He
will be enshrined Friday
night at halftime of the
first playoff game against
Clinton.
Satterfield played football, basketball and baseball. He was the starting
quarterback for Coach Phil
Clarks 1955 team at Greer,
which finished with a 12-1
record. He was named to
the All-County and All-Region teams, while receiving numerous newspaper
all-star and player of the
week awards. He played
second base during his
high school baseball career. As a point guard in
basketball, he helped lead
the 1955-56 Greer team to
a state championship.
The Greer High School
Athletic Ring of Honor is
the highest honor an athlete or coach can receive.
Established in 2003, the
Ring has only 13 members that spans nearly 100
years of Greer High Athletics. They inaugural class
was Murray Hall, Jim Cox,
Steve Greer, Steve Brown
and Phil Clark. They were
followed by Steve Woodward, Luther Glenn, June
Pruitt, Butch Miller, Jim
Few, Stuart Holcombe,
Steve Gibbs and Ralph
Voyles . Only one former
Yellow Jacket standout
will be inducted every 13 years into the Ring. The
best of the best will be selected by a committee and
approved by the Principal.
We wanted to do something to recognize the very
best of the best, committee chairman Robbie Gravley said. People that bring
honor & dignity to Greer
High athletics will achieve
this award.
Gravley noted that after
the five initial nominees in
2003, the committee will
be very selective as to who
will become part of the
Ring.
That will be the hard
part...because we want this
award to be special. The
people that get this award
will be people who exemplify a true Yellow Jacket
star, on & off the field.
Gravley said the initial
class was composed of
people that were at Greer
all prior to 1965.
There were a lot of
names that come up, all
of them worthy, of people
that played or coached in
the 70s through the 90s.
We felt like the first few
classes need to be folks
from the history of Greer
athletics. Coach Satterfiled
is one of the all-time Greer
success stories and a huge
compliment to The Ring of
Honor.
LATTIMORE COULD RETIRE

FROM PRO FOOTBALL
Former Byrnes High

and current San Francisco
49ers running back Marcus Lattimore could retire, according to a report
from ESPN. According to
the network, Lattimore
has not made a decision,
coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed
Hes weighing his options, Harbaugh told
ESPN. He added that the
team should know more
in the coming days. Hes
going to talk to his family. Were in the process of
that right now.
The report states Lattimore, 23, was not with
the team during Sundays
home game against the
St. Louis Rams...Lattimore
spent the 2013 season on
the non-football injury list
and remains on that list
this season.
Lattimore made a name
for himself at the University of South Carolina,
where he suffered significant knee injuries in 2011
and 2012. He has since rehabbed and has not reinjured his knee, according

_________________)
WARRIORS: Will play for a winning season on Friday

FROM B1
terback Ryan Cerino found

Will Urich twice in the end
zone, sealing the teams
fourth region victory of
the season.
Now 5-5 on the season
with a 4-2 mark in region
competition, Smith said he
believes the hard work is
finally paying off.
For me, personally, this
was always my goal, but
you go 0-11 and you start
reevaluating what you
want to do, he said. Obviously, this is one of the
biggest steps Ive taken in
the profession of being a
head coach. It feels like a
huge accomplishment. Im
proud of what weve done
and, just like every coach
that does this, we all work
hard to reach our goals.
The improvement has
come gradually.
Weve taken baby steps
to get where we are,
Smith said. My staff really
bought into the philosophy last year and really

took it to the next level
this year. Youre only as
good as the guys that you
hire and I think Ive got a
pretty good staff put together that has worked as
hard as anybody.
Smith said a lot of the
teams success comes
from senior leadership.
Weve got a big senior
class and they took a lot of
what were doing to heart,
he said. They didnt want
to go out like the other seniors have and they really
dedicated themselves to
doing what needed to be
done.
Although the Warriors
had to endure a four-game
losing streak in September, Smith said his team
has bounced back in a big
way.
Early on in the season,
it didnt look very promising, but the kids turned
a corner somewhere, he
FROM B1
coming down, we were

just happy that he put it
through, he said.
Lane said much of the
credit belongs to the defense, which opened the
door with a late stop in its
own territory.
Theyve been great, he
said. Lyrics (Klugh) had a
great game against J.J. Whiteside and Noah (Dawkins)
and Devin (Dexter) did a
great job for us. Between
both of those guys, I think
theyre probably up to 23
or 24 sacks. They can really put the pressure on
up front.
Byrnes had a couple of
miscues in the first half,
losing a fumble and allowing Dorman to take a 137 advantage at intermission. The Rebels took the
lead in the third quarter,
however, as quarterback
Micah Young found Chavis Dawkins on a 23-yard
touchdown route. The
Cavaliers pulled ahead at
the end of the third with a
field goal from Davis Rogers.
Byrnes was able to out-
last Dorman on the road,

however, and Lane said he
saw clutch play from his
offense. Isaiah Hill rushed
for 141 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries.
He does his job, Lane
said. When its time to
run, we run it and when its
time to throw, we throw it.
Weve been fairly balanced.
Micah (Young) threw for
250 yards and then, as a
team, we rushed for over
200 yards, so I think thats
the kind of stuff that you
look for.
Braylin Collins led all Byrnes receivers with seven
catches for 84 yards.
Lane said the rivalry win
is nice, but he wants his
team to focus on bigger
goals.
Its great, but our ultimate goal is to win the
last game of the year, he
said. Its great to have the
region championship, but
we want to make it to the
playoffs and get that last
game of the year. Thats
what we play for here.
This was a great win, but
we cant stop here.

Phil Smith
Riverside head coach

said. The light switch
came on and I think they
started believing in themselves and got a little confidence.
The confidence started
at Spartanburg and, after
the game, they werent
holding their heads down.
They realized they could
play with the big guys in
the region, Smith continued. Early on, we made
several
mistakes
and
those mistakes are be-
ing corrected. This has

been huge, not just for
the program, but for the
entire school. These guys
can walk around and their
peers are proud of them
and happy for them. It
hasnt been like that in a
long time.

Eastside has had a tough
year, but there are several
things the teams record
wont indicate. The Eagles
have been in a lot of games,
but havent managed to
put together a strong
enough defensive effort
to close them out. One
of the most heartbreaking losses of the season
for Eastside came against
Christ Church. The Eagles
led the Cavaliers late into
the second half, but Christ
Church stormed back,
sucking the life out of a
team that had performed
so well to mount a twoscore lead. Eastside will
miss the senior leadership
and talent of Ty Thomason and Drake Turnquist
next season, but the team
has a lot of young talent
that will surely turn that
program around.

Riverside makes a splash for charity

During
annual
spirit week
It is definitely a tradition on council to challenge everything you

did last year...Theres no way we would settle for the same goal a
second time.
Daniel Freeman
Riverside High student body president
BY JULIE HOLCOMBE
STAFF WRITER
This week, Riverside
High students will run,
dance and play so that others may also. The school
will host several student
and community activities
to raise money to support
Camp Courage during
Spirit Week 2014.
Established in 1994,
Camp Courage is a branch
of BI-LO Charities Childrens Cancer Center of
GHS Childrens Hospital
that allows children diagnosed with cancer and
blood disorders to experience a week-long summer
camp free of charge.
Basically, they get to
experience normalcy for a
week, which I think is a really great opportunity for
them, said Daniel Freeman, student body president.

The charity was chosen
from 20 applicants, and
members of student council were able to visit the
camp to see exactly how
the campers would benefit
from the $70,000 fundraising goal.
Riverside High School students participate in a Paint War following an America-themed 5K on Tuesday morning. Both
events were part of spirit week activities created to raise $70,000 for Camp Courage.
It is definitely a tradition on council to challenge everything you did
last year. We are the only
school to beat our record
for five consecutive years
that I know of, Freeman
said. Theres no way we
would settle for the same
goal a second time.
COMMUNITY SPIRIT

Members of the Riverside High student council visited

Camp Courage over the summer to take a tour and
interact with the children.
For the first year, Riverside is broadening Spirit

Week activities to include
the greater community.
Visitors were invited
to car wash competitions
Sunday; a high school
girls spoof pageant Mon-
day; and an Americathemed 5K, paint war and

country-themed carnival
on Tuesday.
Tonight, the school will
host emerging artist Cory
Bishop in an outdoor concert from 7:30-8:30 p.m.
Tickets are $5 to the pop
country show and visitors
should bring blankets or
chairs.
A luau wraps up the
community events from 68 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6, at
the Silverleaf Pavilion.
CAMP COURAGE
In 2010, GHS partnered

with Greenville County
Parks and Recreation to establish a permanent home

for Camp Courage at the
Pleasant Ridge Park and
Retreat Center in Marietta.
This arrangement allowed
the camp to expand to two
week-long sessions one
for campers under age 12
and one for ages 13-18
and a special siblingsonly session. It also made
possible an all-access layout, making all activities
wheelchair-accessible.
Its the camp of your
dreams, said Jenn Parker,
annual giving coordinator
with Greenville Health System.
The site has air-conditioned lodge-style cabins,

and campers enjoy an
Alpine climbing tower,
ziplines, ropes courses,
horseback riding, hot air
balloon rides and swimming.
Community volunteers
teach various courses in
self-defense, physical fitness, jewelry making,
dance and more.
(Camp Courage) is helping give these kids the experience of a lifetime no
matter how long that lifetime is, Parker said.

Joy Through the Pain: a mothers dementia

BY AMANDA IRWIN
STAFF WRITER
At 82 years old, Alma
Parks Mills was diagnosed
with Alzheimers Disease,
a form of dementia that
results in memory loss,
cognitive changes, personality loss and an inability
to reason and relate to others, according to the Center for Disease Control.
Following the diagnosis,
Gloria Mills Battle, Almas
daughter, struggled with
depression and, in search
of an outlet, she began
writing about her families
struggle.
I have always been
close to mom and I do suffer from depression. When
I got ready to go home in
March I began to have anxiety because I didnt know
what to expect, she said.
To combat these feelings, she wrote her book
Joy Through the Pain in
hopes that it would help
others going through similar experiences.
This truly helped me. I
guess it took my mind off
me and put the focus on
that I still have her and I
thank God that shes still
here. Its been like a healing process, she said.

I want [readers] to
know that you are

this. Like I said, this

Gloria Mills Battle
Author
In the book Gloria wrote,

The story is about the
fond memories and love
I have for my mom. Its
the pain of knowing that
my mother has dementia.
Sometimes life can bring
us so much joy and pain,
its how you embrace the

pain to get to the joy in
our livesI pray that this
book touches the hearts
of those who are going
through some of the same
experiences that Im going
through.
Alma has lived in Greer
for 68 years, and in honor of her mother and the
books release, Gloria will
be visiting Greer on Sunday, Nov. 9, which is also
her mothers birthday.
From 35 p.m., a book
signing will be held at the
Holiday Inn Express, 1315
Wade Hampton Blvd.
When her moms dementia began, Gloria noticed
her personality changing.
She was changing and I
couldnt do anything right.
She thought I was a child
again, so I had to get past
that she said.
Her mother would misplace things. Gloria said
other people thought her
moms changes were a result of aging, but she felt it
was something more.
I think one of the signs
that I really noticed early
on was that mom was
misplacing things. She
would get the telephone
book and read it from
front to back every
name, every address, every telephone number,

Gloria said.
Since her mothers diagnosis, in-line with the
disease, her dementia has
worsened.
Sometimes when I call,
she cannot remember who
I am. She still remembers
some of the long term,
Gloria said. Now I asked
her the other day, Mom
youre getting ready to
have a birthday. She said,
When is it?
If I call her and ask,
Mom have you had lunch
or dinner? And shell say,
Let me ask your father.
Alma attends an adult
daycare to help manage
her dementia. Her husband serves as her primary caretaker.
I want [readers] to know
that you are never alone,
Gloria said. Youre not
alone through this. Like I
said, this is a healing process for me But I just
want them to know that,
through faith and perseverance and the love that
I have for my mother that
runs so deep, well always
be together.

COUCH THEATER
DVD previews
By Sam Struckhoff
NEW RELEASES
FOR WEEK OF NOV. 17
PICKS OF THE WEEK
If I Stay (PG-13) -- Mia

(Chloe Grace-Moretz) is a
teenage girl with a talent
for cello, nice parents, a
rock n roll boyfriend and
a good chance of getting
into Juilliard. While in the
car with her loving family,
they get into a horrible accident, and Mias body is
rushed into surgery while
her spirit looks on. Stuck
between life and death,
Mia has a decision to make.
It sounds like it should be
obvious, but she manages
to stretch out the decision
for the full run time.
Actually, any of those
things from the first sentence of this review could
be enough to say yes to
life. Really. Most people
lean toward staying alive
-- just as a general rule -if given the option. Do you
sense what kind of melodrama were dealing with?
To nobodys surprise, the
film is based on a bestselling novel for the youngadult market.
And So It Goes (PG-13)
-- In a sun-dappled Connecticut
neighborhood,
a grumpy old coot gets
saddled with a precocious
child who softens his image just enough to help
him find new love. It is as
boring and unoriginal as
it sounds. Oren (Michael
Douglas) is a realtor with
no people skills and a raging case of the grouchies.
His no-good son drops
by to give over a 9-yearold grandchild before he
heads to jail. Diane Keaton
plays a well-intentioned
neighbor whose jokes never land.
Oren has to learn not to
be such a cranky old fart,
but by that point, youre
not invested enough to
care. Rob Reiner has a
great track record of movies that are both funny
and uplifting, but this one
didnt go that way.
22 Jump Street (R) -This is a sequel that truly
builds on the success of
its predecessor without
recycling every single
joke! In the last movie,
21 Jump Street, Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill
were two cops tasked with
infiltrating a local high
school to bust up a drug
ring. Putting two overgrown adolescents into an
environment full of real
adolescents turned out to
be a great move, plus Tatum and Hill have an easy,
funny and admirable take
on adult male friendships
(called bromances in the
contemporary vernacular).
This sequel sends the duo
after a college-based crime
ring, stepping up the humor and the action.
The Wind Rises (PG13) -- Japanese animator
Hayao Miyazaki has an
illustrious career that includes some of the worlds
most-praised
animated
features. This movie has
been called his farewell
picture, and its a fitting
image. The animated feature takes you into the
mind of Jiro Hirokoshi,
an airplane engineer with
a sincere love of flight
and the intangible beauty
of mathematics. Unfortunately, Jiros masterwork
designs were used by the
Imperial Japanese military
during World War II. Dont
let the cooked-up controversy keep you from seeing this gorgeous, heartfelt film.

he theatre at which
I saw Nightcrawler
Thursday night had
accidentally added an S
to the end of the title.
Whoever did that
probably thinks its some
kind of Halloween horror movie about bugs, I
joked.
While Nightcrawler
is no such thing, it is in
fact a creepy movie that
bites and burrows its way
under your skin. And
while not all of his story
elements are credible,
first-time director Dan
Gilroy does a superb job
developing his twisted
protagonist and the
horrors he chases and
creates.
Gyllenhaals
performance
is as physical as
it is vocal, with
his protruding
cheekbones and
eyes bulging from
their gaunt sockets.
Jake Gyllenhaal lost
30 pounds to play Lou
Bloom, a sociopathic thief
who discovers an opportunistic camera crew at a
car crash one night. If it
bleeds, it leads, a veteran
cameraman (Bill Paxton)
tells him, and suddenly
Lou has found his calling.
He spends each night
chasing crashes, fires,
carjackings and murders
across the greater LA
area, filming the action
and selling it to a veteran TV news producer
(Rene Russo). As the
competition mounts and
stakes rise, Lou hires an
assistant (Riz Ahmed)
and begins taking a more
active role in the violence
he captures.
Nightcrawler features
some stunning nighttime action sequences
and strong performances
across the board. Gyllenhaals performance
is as physical as it is
vocal, with his protruding cheekbones and eyes
bulging from their gaunt
sockets. Most critics have
called this his best performance to date, though
I feel it is a bit too novel
to rank ahead of Prisoners (2013) and End of
Watch (2012) Theres no
question, though, that his
character recalls some of
Hollywoods most sinister
antiheroes Norman
Bates, Travis Bickle and
Patrick Bateman among
them.
For her part, Russo is
critical to the films success, working both as a
more glamorous version

of Lou and a barometer of
his sinister transformation (a conversation they
have at a Mexican restaurant is especially riveting).
In effect, Paxtons jaded
character works much
the same way reflecting
what Lou is on his way to
becoming.
Unfortunately, some
of the things that make
Nightcrawler so arresting also prevent it from
outright success. First
of all, Lou is really too
whacko for most to relate
to and sympathize with.
It certainly would have
been nice to get a little
more background and see
what made him this way.
And lastly, its impossible to believe someone
would have the audacity
and nerve to break into
houses mere seconds
after crimes have been
committed, or that any
network TV station would
air their macabre footage.
Yet, Director Dan Gilroy
has made a unique and
memorable film here that
mercilessly lambastes the
degeneration of TV news
and those who watch it.
Its a bit ironic that, in so
doing, hes made one of
those movies that newspeople often blame for
our countrys pervasive
violence.
DVD REVIEW
PURGE: ANARCHY PUTS

ACTION OVER CHARACTER
Rating: 5.5 out of 10
Run time: 90 minutes
Rated: R for language and
graphic violence
DVD Review by William
Buchheit
The first Purge movie
was a real guilty pleasure,
full of sinister twists and
compelling characters.
Unfortunately, director
James DeMonacos sequel
is neither as fun nor as
interesting.
Set in 2023 Los Angeles, the story starts just
a few hours before the
annual purge is to take
place. If you missed the
first film, the Purge is a
12-hour period in which
any crime, even murder,
is legal. Because the upper and middle classes
have the funds to barricade themselves inside
their houses for the night,
its usually the poor who
take to the streets and
kill each other, leading to
historically low poverty
and unemployment rates.
All but one of the protagonists in the sequel hope
to hunker down and avoid
danger on this grim night,
in the City Hall lobby leading up to the Thanksgiving

holidays.
The submission criteria are listed below and
must be followed in order
pieces to be judged. The
theme for the art show is
What I am Thankful For?
and should represent what
Thanksgiving means to the
artist.
The contest is free to
enter. Artwork may only
be done in pencil, paint,
crayons or pastels. Artwork must be matted and
include the artists name,
grade, school and contact

but when their best laid
plans go astray, they are
forced to bond together
to survive.
A Hispanic family,
young yuppie couple and
vengeance-seeking police
sergeant constitute this
underdog gang. Sadly,
there is little chemistry
or character development
between them. The best
sequences are the action
scenes, in which they
must avoid the psychopaths chasing them down
with machine guns. The
most interesting plot
twist comes towards the
end and actually involves
a game of human hunting.
As was the case in the
2013 original, the concept
is intriguing; but there is
no Ethan Hawk to lead
the cast this time around
and the films critique of
class-warfare is absurdly
heavy handed. To be
sure, its not a dull movie.
Its just a lot easier to
watch what happens to
these characters than to
care about them.

Purge: Anarchy, the sequel, fails to live up to the intrigue

and fun of the first film.
Whatever darkness
youre hiding is all over
your face, and I kind of
like it.
So says Noah Solloway
to Allison Lockhart in
the fourth episode of
Showtimes The Affair
(Sundays, 10 pm). That
sentence tells you nearly
as much about its two
central characters as any
of the events that precede
it.
Created by Sarah Treem
and Hagai Levi (who
teamed up to write the
HBO series, In Treatment), this new drama is
a gripping and complex
study of human attraction, insecurity and sadness. Noah is a successful NY City teacher and
author, who travels with
his kids and wife to her
parents beach house in
Montauk for the summer.
There, he meets Allison,
a married waitress whose
only child drowned two
years ago. As they seek
refuge in one another, the
affair tears life as they
knew it to pieces.
The shows greatest
asset is its format, which
has both Noah and Allison
independently recreating
their relationship from a
police interrogation room.
The crime that led them
there remains a mystery,
as do many of the events
that transpire between
them. Treem and Haggai cleverly divide each
episode in half. The first
is told from his point of
view, the second from
hers.
Thus, the discrepancies in their respective
memories reveal as much
about Noah and Allison
as their scenes together
do. It wouldnt add up to
much if the acting wasnt
there to support it, but
British stage actress Ruth
Wilson and Dominic West
(The Wire) are phenomenal as the leads. Photographed on location in
the Hamptons, the setting
is equal parts romantic
and tempestuous. And
while the family members
remain somewhat shallow and the two lovers a
bit unlikable, The Affair
is a show thats hard to
ignore, and even harder to
stop watching.

FUN AND GAMES
THE GREER CITIZEN
White-Coat Syndrome
or high blood pressure?
DEAR DR. ROACH: My
21-year-old son is a college athlete, a sprinter,
but he has had recurrent
high systolic blood pressure readings since he was
a senior in high school.
Hes generally easygoing
and not stressed. Doctors always attribute the
elevated results to whitecoat syndrome, since he
is otherwise in excellent
health and doesnt drink,
smoke or use drugs. The
last reading was 142/78,
when he checked it at a
drugstore monitor.
Hes never had any reason to be nervous in a
doctors office, and the
initial high reading was
with the same pediatrician
hed been seeing all his
life. Once, a nurse had him
rest quietly for a few minutes and rechecked the
reading; it was lower, but
still high. He just finished
four months of rigorous
basic training with the
Army with no problems
(his high reading on his
physical was put down to
nervousness), and he may
now be anxious no matter
where or when the reading is taken, but Im worried that something else
may be going on. Is there
something we should have
checked? -- K.C.
ANSWER: The real question is whether your son
has white coat hypertension, or just hypertension.
The best way of answering this is with a 24-hour
blood-pressure monitor,
which checks the blood
pressure every 15-30 min-

utes while awake, and
less frequently at night. If
those readings are mostly
in the normal range, we
could conclude that he has
reactive, or white-coat, hypertension.
However, it is possible
that he has hypertension.
Healthy young people
sometimes get hypertension, and he may be able
to get his blood pressure
down without medication,
through salt reduction and
relaxation techniques. But
if he needs them, there are
medications that will not
affect his athletic abilities.
I sometimes order an
echocardiogram to look
for changes in the heart
that go along with high
blood pressure. However,
the elevated blood pressure readings are only of a
few years duration, so he
might not have these yet. I
think the 24-hour BP monitor is the way to go.
High blood pressure is
one of the most common
ailments for the general
population. The booklet
on it describes what it
does and how its treated.

DEAR DR. ROACH: Is

there much difference between D.O. degrees and
doctor of medicine degrees? I just noticed that
my PCP has a D.O. after
his name, and nothing
else. -- B.B.
ANSWER: A D.O. is a
doctor of osteopathy,
someone who went to
an osteopathic medical
school. D.O. physicians are
licensed to practice medicine and surgery in all U.S.
states; in Canada, licensing varies by province. The
training of an osteopathic
physician is similar to that
of a doctor with the M.D.
degree, but osteopathic
physicians obtain training
in osteopathic manipulative medicine.
It has been my experience that D.O. physicians
are very similar to M.D.
physicians, in most respects.

instructors
Todd Varholy and Eddie
Squires said theyre hoping to soon be able to
compete with the first allfemale welding team at a

these girls excel and hold
their own in the dirty,
sweaty world of welding,
gives us a real sense of
accomplishment as teachers, Varholy said. These
girls can do anything, and
we are pleased that the
welding program at Bonds
is something theyve chosen to be a part of.
Machine Tool Technology instructor Roy Morris
touts his female students
as some of the brightest

I worked in industry for
many years before becoming an instructor at Bonds.
Back then it was rare to see

now, look around, some of
our most reputable companies in the Upstate, he
said. The girls are there,
earning a great living in

FROM B8
Riversides contribution
will go toward establishing a Riverside Camper
Scholarship that will last
for the life of Camp Couragelong after Spirit Week
2014. The camp is free to
attend, but administrative
and medical cost associated with each camper is
$550. A $70,000 gift would
ensure that seven campers
every year are able to attend camp.
One of the most important parts of my job is for
the donors to see, touch
and feel where their hard
work and funds are going.
I think watching them go
from seeing a little bit of it
to the totality of it made a
huge difference as donors
go from liking an idea to
being an advocate for it,
Parker said.
Its an incredible asset to our community to
have kids that are community-focused and dont
take their community for
granted and want to make
it better.
This is a really historic
year for us, and we appreciate the ones who are willing to come out and support us, Freeman said.

magnolias but as tough as
steel. The magnolia specifically references a magnolia tree they are arguing
about at the beginning.
