EDITOR
Greer city officials hope
a new festival will offer in-
sight and perspective into
other cultures around the
world.
The city will host its
first International Festival
on March 29 at Greer City
Park from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m.
This is the first time,
as the City of Greer, weve
had a festival to celebrate
international cultures and
influences in the Greer
community, Red Watson,
assistant director of Greer
Parks and Recreation, said.
We are always looking for
ways to improve our pro-
gramming and looking for
ways to make sure we stay
diverse, current and up-to-
date.
The idea came from
brainstorming.

From
burning
house
BY AMANDA IRWIN
STAFF WRITER
Resident Mike Johnson
sat through a more than
three-hour long Lyman
council meeting to thank
the fire department for
its assistance. Johnsons
house burned down Feb.
17, but firemen went into
his house three times to
locate and rescue his dog.
I just wanted to let you
know that my wife and I
really appreciate the fire
department, the chief
and his men. What they
did they went above
and beyond, went back in
found one of the dogs and
gave him oxygen, and its
certainly something they
didnt have to do, John-
son said. Sometimes peo-
ple complain about paying
taxes, but when you pick
up that phone and call,
its a good feeling to hear
that siren coming and I
certainly appreciate it and
wanted to say thank you.
They were really good
to us, he said. They made
sure we were all right, but
I really appreciate them
taking the time to, I think
they went back three
times, to find the dog. So
it was really a good service
and a good effort on their
part.
The council also dis-
cussed a resolution to

Police: Woman fatally
shot by Duncan officer
PRESTON BURCH | THE GREER CITIZEN
Residents and police crowded Duncan streets on Tuesday morning after a shooting took
a womans life.
After
hijacking
patrol car
BY AMANDA IRWIN
STAFF WRITER
A disturbance call
turned deadly when the
Duncan Police Department
responded to a call Tues-
day morning behind Value
Place near the Interstate
85 and S.C. Highway 290
corridor.
Duncan Police Chief
Ryan Cothran said a male
subject, allegedly respon-
sible for the disturbance,
fled on foot.
It started as a distur-
bance call and the officer
arrived, gets out with the
male subject that was sup-
posedly involved in the
disturbance and he (the
subject) flees on foot. The
officer goes to get back in
his car to go around the
block and when he gets
there, an unknown female
he dont know where
she come from was in
the patrol car and put it in
drive, and the officer, fear-
ing for his safety, he took
action, Cothran said. Its
being handled by SLED
(State Law Enforcement
Division) from this point
on.
The officer opened fire
at the car, killing the fe-
male driver.
The name of the officer
involved and the name
and age of the woman
killed were not released in
time for publication. The
officer is on paid adminis-
trative leave following the
incident.
We did catch him (the
subject) about 30 minutes
later, we did have him in
custody, but thats about
as far as weve gotten right
now, Cothran said.
Travis Knight, owner
of Scraps for Us Inc., was
nearby when the incident
occurred.
We actually just seen
some commotion out here,
police running toward this
one guy, he was running
from them, Knight said.
One of our customers
was coming off the scale.
He (the subject) actually
tried to get into his car
as he was coming out.
He (the subject) sped off
and the officer was telling
him to get down or get on
the ground or something,
and we heard four or five
shots.

The District Five Schools
of Spartanburg is moving
forward, completing sche-
matic designs for a future
Byrnes High.
At this point, Im com-
ing back to you to ask for
additional funding for
them to continue to work
on that schematic design,
Superintendent Scott
Turner told the board.
Completing the first
phase of the design would
cost $101,000 through
April 1. It includes archi-
tectural and engineering
fees. The design devel-
opment phase would be
$216,000 through July 1.
Im drawing the line
right there and just ask-
ing we do up to that point,
which would be $317,000,
Turner said. That would
give us complete design
of the facility without any
construction. Then the
board, at your pleasure,
would decide whether you
want to move forward or
not. It would be, in my
opinion, we should move
forward with just the de-
sign part of the building.
The money would come
from the building fund,
which has a $4.9 million
balance, Turner said.
There were about 2,200
students at Byrnes this
time last year, including
the Freshman Academy,
according to the districts
strategic plan. The new
building would have ca-
pacity for 500 more stu-
dents.
By doing the building
design in four phases, it
leaves room for adjust-
ments as needed, Turner
said.
All these things can be
done as you go through
these design phases. Thats
one good thing about hav-
ing it in four phases,
he said. We can do this
phase and if you want to
change this space make
it bigger, make it smaller,
whatever you want to do
within our budget, we can
do it.
The winter weather de-
layed an input session for
teachers and had not been
rescheduled as of Feb. 24.
The board voted unani-
mously to move forward
with the plans.

Variance
for Cott
approved
BY AMANDA IRWIN
STAFF WRITER
The Cott company ex-
pansion and residential
development on Autumn
Hill Drive received approv-
al for a variance request
from setback require-
ments during the Lyman
Board of Zoning Appeals
meeting Monday night.
The Cott companys ex-
pansion, located at 1990
Hood Road, 116, 117,120
and 121 Cascade Drive, will
allow for a 1,800 square
foot office space, 15 docks
and 28 trailer park to be
constructed on the I-1 in-
dustrial zoned property.
The Cott company is one
of the largest producers of
beverages, manufacturing,
distributing and packag-
ing a variety of beverages
from facilities located in
the United States, Canada,
the United Kingdom and
Mexico.
Glenn Pace, city and zon-
ing coordinator, said his
staff recommended the
boards approval for the
variance on the Cott com-
panys property because it
will not change the charac-
ter of the property.
Owners of property lo-
cated at 151 Autumn Hill
Drive, presently zoned R-
12 single family residen-
tial, requested a variance
from the setback require-
ments because of extreme
sloping on the property
that make portions of the
property unbuildable.
That could prevent the
construction of five resi-
dential homes the own-
ers intend to build. The
approval of the variance
will allow the homes to be
closer to the road.
Pace said his staff rec-
ommended approval for
the variance request be-
cause the property would
still maintain similar
characteristics of the sur-
rounding properties.
The next regularly sched-
uled meeting will be held
on April 7 at 5:30 p.m. at
Greer City Hall.

Byrnes plan moves forward
Focused
on teacher
retention
BY KATIE JONES
STAFF WRITER
Meka Bosket Childs has
high goals for South Caro-
lina schools.
Childs is a Republican
candidate for the South
Carolina Superintendent
of Education. If elected,
she wants to be good stew-
ard for taxpayers resourc-
es, individualize learning,
make sure parents can
pursue options to best fit
their child, prevent federal
overreach, reinvigorating
community involvement,
and attract and retain the
best teachers.
Her top priority is mak-
ing sure South Carolina
students graduate ready
for citizenship and work
or college.
The main thing Id like
to do is make sure that
when a child receives a
high school diploma, they
are really ready (to go to)
work or college and (are)
ready for citizenship,
she said. I think some of
our students are (ready).
Many of them are pleased
with their life experiences
once leaving high school.
I think we have too many
children who are drop-
ping out. I think we have
too many that are finish-
ing high school, excited
to walk across that stage,
then they hit the work-
force and realize there are
certain core skills, many of
them soft skills, essential
to being successful even
in entry positions. Theyre
coming up short.
Childs was on the pre-
med track at Duke Univer-
sity when she had a change
of heart. An earlier teacher
suggested she think about
teaching, which planted a
seed.
A couple things oc-
curred, but the main one
was that I realized that, at
that campus, being premed
was not unique. It kind of
lost its luster in that re-
gard. The other thing was,
I heard someone preach a
sermon. I dont remember
it very specifically, but the
overarching theme was for
us to think about the gifts
and the blessings that God
has given us and consider
how He might want us to
use them. Fortunately or
unfortunately, I felt a tug
in my heart where I need-
ed to pause. I saw the edu-
cation I was receiving at
Duke and the experiences
I was having there as an
opportunity for me to go
on and do great things for
Meka.
She changed her major
to education and educa-
tion policy formation her
sophomore year.
I decided I wanted to
come home and devote my
lifes work to education
policy, improving educa-
tion in our state, Childs
said.
Childs taught social
studies for four years and
coached girls basketball
at Dent Middle School.
I stayed longer than I
planned to originally be-
cause it became a harder
and harder decision to
make to leave the class-
room because I so thor-
oughly enjoyed it, she
said. But I also remember,
I also recognize the chal-
lenges. We want to offer
teachers the support they
need to do well. Where
theyre struggling, lets
walk alongside them and
help them get better.
Childs resigned from
her position as deputy su-
perintendent under Mick
Zais to campaign.
The Republican primary
is June 10. More informa-
tion on Childs is available
at mekachilds.com.

legislation
to be
introduced
T
he South Carolina
House of Representa-
tives caught up on
committee work this past
week following two weeks
of snow-related furloughs
over the past month. A
number of important
pieces of legislation
moved out of commit-
tees this week that I look
forward to debating on
the House floor soon.
This week, we will have a
full House calendar and
will work long hours on
Tuesday and Wednesday.
Patent trolls A House
judiciary subcommittee
approved legislation this
week that would provide
entrepreneurs and inven-
tors tools to combat so-
called patent trolls. If
youre unfamiliar with
the term, patent trolls are
people or corporations
who buy patents, usually
for pennies on the dollar
in bankruptcy or other
liquidation sales. Or,
they acquire a patent on
everyday objects, such as
a stick characterized as
a dog toy. Armed with
an arsenal of patents, the
trolls sue folks who are
allegedly violating these
patents. The trolls do
this despite the fact they
dont engage in any other
business other than hold-
ing the patents. As the
sponsor of the bills said,
it is essentially legalized
extortion. These trolls
are stifling innovation
and hurting our up-
and-coming companies.
Patents are predominantly
governed by federal
law, but these bills are
carefully tailored to give
South Carolina tools in its
arsenal to protect entre-
preneurs and combat the
patent trolls.
Right to life Legis-
lation that would ban
abortions beginning at 20
weeks of pregnancy was
approved Tuesday by the
House Judiciary Commit-
tee and should be on the
House floor next week.
The new restrictions are
because of new science
that shows that fetuses
can feel pain beginning
at 20 weeks. The very
liberal Ninth Circuit
Court of Appeals in San
Francisco struck down a
similar piece of legislation
in Arizona.
Ninth Circuit decisions
are not controlling in
South Carolina, however,
and the Richmond-based
Fourth Circuit Court of
Appeals has not yet ad-
dressed the issue.
Ethics As the Senate
finished debate on the
omnibus ethics reform
legislation that the House
approved last year, a
House judiciary subcom-
mittee began approving
smaller ethics bills as a
backup, just in case the
full ethics reform pack-
age dies. The House stood
with our Governor in sup-
port of this legislation,
and we hope to have the
Senate amendments back
in the House very soon.
Budget The House
Ways and Means Commit-
tee put the final touches
on the 2013-2014 state
budget at the end of last
week.
I will write more about
the budget when it
reaches our desks next
week, but a few highlights
include: a small raise for
some state employees
only their second raise
since 2009; funds for
17 new SLED agents and
10 new Highway Patrol
troopers; money for new
school buses and money
to allow students to use
lottery funds for summer
semesters.
We will fight for more
local government funds
and other issues that
may come forward on the
House Floor.

tion with the Startex-
Jackson-Wellford-Duncan
Water District (SJWD),
which was unanimously
approved and took effect
immediately. The resolu-
tion will allow the mayor
to conduct negotiations
with SJWD over any legal
proceedings.
Our town council, in-
cluding Mayor (Rodney
Turner) and SWJDs com-
missioners, including their
chief executive, are going
to meet with the media-
tors to resolve this 7Q10,
said Dennis Drozdak, Ly-
man town clerk and trea-
surer. Before, it was the
mayor and Alan Johnson
(director of public works)
mediating with our attor-
neys, and now the council
will be involved during
mediation.
In laymans terms,
[7Q10] was a law under
the water act a couple
years ago. Its the amount
of water that can be drawn
out by SWJD, and the new
law states they can draw
as much water out as they
want, but if that happens,
then we have to increase
our processing costs to
get the water to be the
right dilution to go back
into the river.
Through mediation, Ly-
man officials hope to set a
minimal amount of water
that will be available to the
town.
After being temporar-
ily halted by the South
Carolina Department of
Transportation (SCDOT),
the streetscape project
is moving forward with
minimal changes to plans,
and construction began
on Monday. After modifi-
cations to tree placements
were made, the SCDOT ap-
proved the project.
A resolution to authorize
the retirement of a K-9 po-
lice dog was presented to
council. The K-9 is 7 years
old and only one officer is
trained to handle the dog,
and the time it would take
to pair the dog with anoth-
er handler would not be fi-
nancially feasible, officials
say. The dog would be
upwards of 8 years old be-
fore the process would be
completed, so the request
to authorize retirement
was approved by council.
The second and final
reading for a Holly Springs
Road property to be re-
zoned from GBD-1 (gen-
eral business district) to
PH (patio homes) received
approval.
The next regularly
scheduled Lyman Council
meeting will be held on
April 7 at 6:30 p.m. at Ly-
man Town Hall, 81 Groce
Road, Lyman.
LYMAN: Streetscape moving forward with minimal changes

Meka Childs
Childs running for state superintendent
I
m pretty sure I dont owe any of them
money, but evidently, Ive got dead
relatives hanging out all around my
house.
Cardinals, you see- not those that vote
on a new pope, but rather the ones with
a way cooler pompadour hairdo.
I have long heard that, should you see
a male, red Cardinal, it is a sign that a
dead relative is visiting.
And the first time this happened was
my very first night alone at the farm.
Paul was still in California, winding
up his business before making his third
cross-country drive to join me (his sec-
ond, I kid you not, was driving a U-haul
full of his wine collection because he did
not trust a regular shipping company
not to park in the sun and turn it all into
lighter fluid), and so I spent the first
night, alone, in utter terror as I was used
to falling asleep to the blaring, white
noise of what passes as a Los Angeles
night: sirens, car alarms, hovering heli-
copters shining blazing lights through
the windows in search of a suspect, OJ
tearing through the neighborhoods...
and certainly not the deepest quiet I had
ever experienced. If I heard a twig snap
outside my South Carolina window, I
sat bolt upright, like Jason in Friday the
13th, coming back alive regardless of
the meat cleaver in his head, absolutely
sure that a murderer lurked outside the
window and not a deer, stepping deli-
cately into the woods.
And so it was just before 6 a.m. that
I was snapped back awake to the first,
rosy, fingers of a morning sky after a
night of fitful sleep.
I had heard a crash against the guest
room window.
Startled, I pulled the covers to my
chest and promptly dislodged four cats
to the floor.
A second crash was heard, this time,
in the back of the house, and a third, a
nano-second later, upon the front, storm
door.
What the is that? I whispered to no
one. I didnt own a cell phone in 1999
and hadnt yet put in an extension in the
master bedroom.
My mind whirled with a dozen pos-
sibilities, settling on the potential of this
being the ghost of a former resident, a
drug dealer, who had died in the hot tub
(we nicknamed him, Stew), but a ghost I
could handle. An escaped convict, trying
to break into my house, was another
thing altogether.
Looking for a weapon, I chose a deco-
rative golf putter I had been given, by
way of appreciation, for taking part in
a celebrity charity golf tournament in
Phoenix (if you call taking part lolling
in a golf cart drinking cape cods and
watching the action), some years before.
Descending the front stairs in the
dark, dressed for action in a sweat shirt,
Hello Kitty gym shorts and thick tube
socks, I hunched over my brandished
putter, ready to launch someones head
into orbit.
Which, really, would require a driver.
Luckily, for the escaped convict, my
eyes were instantly diverted to the real
culprit: a male cardinal flinging himself
against the front window, while in the
back of the house, another one was
doing the same thing. And on the side
of the house, a third was battering the
french doors.
Dead relatives abound! Or, according
to The Book of Totems, a sign of nobil-
ity and strength.
I would surmise perhaps also a sign of
a concussion after slamming into your
exact reflection countless times in a
futile attempt to exorcise your evil twin
away from your new girlfriend.
I hadnt felt that sort of relief since
knowing I wouldnt have to actually have
to take part in a Good Morning America
cooking segment and, one hand against
my heart, the other behind me, guiding
my shaking knees to the couch, I began
to chuckle at my situation.
As I type, there is a cardinal balanced
precariously upon slender branch that
scrapes against our front window, using
his head as a battering ram against his
foe. Call him a sign or a symbol, or what-
ever you like.
My cats, watching feverishly from the
coffee table, call him dinner.

Dead relatives abound
Taking time to thank
our frst responders
We need more residents like Mike Johnson.
During a recent Lyman Town Council meet-
ing, Mike did what we all should do more often
only he did it after a pretty traumatic experi-
ence.
A house fire in February destroyed Mikes
home, but all he wanted to do Monday night
was thank first responders.
His gratitude is a result of firefighters enter-
ing his burning home on more than one occa-
sion to save his trapped dog. In his words, it
was something they didnt have to do.
What they did they went above and be-
yond, went back in found one of the dogs and
gave him oxygen, and its certainly something
they didnt have to do, he said.
The Lyman Fire Department should be
thanked, but theyre not alone. Too often, we
dont show enough gratitude to the men and
women who serve as our first responders. EMS
workers, police, firefighters, search and rescue
teams and emergency room doctors are just
some of the folks that put their necks on the
line every day in service to others.
We might think theyre used to it because its
their job, but going into a burning building and
giving trapped animal oxygen requires great
risk and sacrifice. These men and women are
a special breed, dedicating their lives to serv-
ing their communities. Theyre not unlike our
military, who guard our freedom by spending
months at a time overseas and on missions.
A few weeks back, during one of the worst
snowstorms this area has seen in quite a while,
first responders worked around the clock to en-
sure safe passage for others. Firefighters helped
crashed cars out of ditches, highway patrol re-
sponded to collisions with injuries and police
took to the streets, searching for anyone who
might be in danger.
What if that was your family member, spouse,
son or daughter? What if it was someone close
to you risking his or her life on a daily basis?
Id like to think most of us would be extremely
grateful for their safe return home each night,
so why not let them know?
First responders do a lot of good, and not all
of it is seen and heard. There are dozens of ex-
amples of Greer servicemen and women simply
lending a hand to someone in need. It might
mean helping an elderly man in and out of his
home. It might mean spending hours trying to
get a child out of a well. It might even mean
staying up for hours, waiting for a call or some-
thing to happen.
The life of a first responder has to be tough.
There are not many jobs in this world where
most of the calls you get mean bad news for
others. When someone dedicates their life to
saving yours, they should be recognized. Not
just when its convenient, but all the time.
Mike gets it.
Sometimes people complain about paying
taxes, but when you pick up that phone and
call, its a good feeling to hear that siren com-
ing and I certainly appreciate it and wanted to
say thank you, he said.
Lets take a lesson from Mike. Find something
you can do for a first responder in your life and
show your gratitude. It could be you thats in
need of their help one day.
Ash
Wednesday
Read Philippians 4:10-13
P
aul wrote, I have learned
to be content whatever the
circumstances. - Philippi-
ans 4:11 (NIV)
As I drive to a friends house,
I notice a new sporting goods
store. I think about the great
sales they must be having for
their grand opening and all
of the fun things I could buy
for camping. Then I turn my
thoughts to the next day: Ash
Wednesday.
This holy day marks a time
when I try to think about mod-
eration. Living in moderation is
a daily challenge for me. From
grocery shopping, to eating,
to going to new stores, it is
difficult to eat and purchase
only what is necessary without
splurging on a little more here
and there.
As I approached the store,
my thoughts shift to the apos-
tle Paul who learned to be con-
tent in all circumstances. He
was satisfied whether he was
feasting or starving, whether he
had many possessions of none.
Having an excess of goods of
food clutters my life body,
soul and mind without pro-
viding any lasting, deep-rooted
happiness. They require time
and energy to maintain, which
distracts me from my nurturing
relationship with God.
I turn my eyes back to the
road and pass the new store.
Today I will make an effort to
live more freely, with less stuff
to hold me down and distract
me from God.
Prayer: Dear heavenly Father,
keep our thoughts centered on
you by removing distractions
from our lives. May we give
attention and energy to your
work today. Amen.
Thought for the day: Living in
moderation frees up space in
our hearts for God.
Random
kindness
M
any may believe kindness
is a rarity, even forget-
ting to take moments to
be kind because of the hurried
lives we lead, but acts of kind-
ness are more common than
we sometimes realize.
Recently, a colleague told
me her mother went to lunch
at a Taylors restaurant where
a couple, who dines there
regularly and whom she didnt
know, paid for her meal. Ive
heard several similar stories lo-
cally and nationally of strang-
ers paying for other strangers
meals with hopes of them
paying it forward.
Ive been in situations where
Ive had to remind myself
people are, in large part, kind
and cruel actions arent always
directed at a person but rather
the situation. I used to work in
call center for a debt collec-
tion company. It was my first
post-college and I was nave in
expecting that people would
be kind to me if I was kind to
them, but I quickly learned
that in the customer service
industry, this isnt the case.
Numerous times I was cussed
at, yelled at, called names or
told awful, vulgar things that
would make anyones mouth
drop, despite only doing my
job, which I only took because
I had college debts to pay and
employment rates were low.
This experience was spirit
crushing and left me feeling
that people were greedy and
cruel because, for me, that was
the reality.
It took months after leaving
that job before I really begin
to trust people again. But, it
was the small acts of kindness
I experienced from others that
helped me let go of the experi-
ence and remember people
could be kind as well.
Most people realize they
should be kind, but we some-
times forget to take the extra
effort because we become
caught up in our own lives
and, sometimes, were in tough
situations and we displace our
emotions. Furthermore, its not
often we have the opportunity
to see the results of actions
toward others whether good
or bad. But, being kind doesnt
only benefit others, it benefits
the person being kind as well
because it forces them to think
of someone else and put them-
selves in someone elses shoes
even if only for a moment.
Kindness is never overrated
and rarely forgotten.
These men and women are a special
breed, dedicating their lives to
serving their communities. Theyre
not unlike our military, who guard
our freedom by spending months at
a time overseas and on missions.
Folks in the community
got a taste of what life
would be like with driver-
less vehicles last week.
Greer Memorial and the
Cottages at Brushy Creek
participated in testing
of Inducts Navia electric
driverless shuttle last Fri-
day, cruising around at 12
mph with no one at the
helm.
Induct has been running
pilot projects with several
customers, who are using
the shuttles in pedestrian-
heavy or industrial sites,
such as college campuses
in Europe and Asia.
Those customers in-
clude Ecole Polytechnique
Fdrale de Lausanne in
Switzerland, Nanyang
Technological University
in Singapore and Culham
Science Centre in the Unit-
ed Kingdom.
Induct has been look-
ing for pilot test sites and
partners for the mobility
technology in the U.S., and
officials with the company
said Greer offered the per-
fect location.
By utilizing advanced
robotics, laser mapping
technology and sensors
that detect the vehicles
acceleration and rotation,
Navia creators say the
shuttle instantly calcu-
lates its position, nearby
obstacles, route and dis-
tance traveled in real time,
enabling it to carry its pas-
sengers quickly, safely and
efficiently.
Navia can weave around
pedestrians as it carries as
many as eight people.
When users get on board,
they find a touchscreen of-
fering the various stops.
They select their destina-
tion on the screen and
the shuttle automatically
sets off. Navia can be set
on a specific schedule and
route, or can travel when
needed, letting users sum-
mon the shuttle with their
smartphones.
Greer State Bank recent-
ly named Kevin Duncan
branch manager/private
banker and assistant vice
president for the Bun-
combe Road location.
Duncan joins the team
with seven years of
banking experience as
a financial services rep-
resentative, assistant man-
ager, licensed banker and
branch manager/business
banker.
Bank officials say Dun-
can will be responsible for
leading the branch team,
business development and
customer acquisition. He
will be involved in produc-
ing consumer and small
busi ness/commer ci al
loans, and working to cre-
ate and roll out a private
banking line of business.
As a Greer native, Kevin
is passionate about our
community and excited to
begin his career at Greer
State Bank, said Greg Sisk,
senior vice president and
retail banking manager for
the bank. Having Kevin
join our team will greatly
impact the level of service
we are able to provide our
customers. We are proud
to welcome such talent to
the Greer State Bank fam-
ily.

Taylors Free Medical
Clinic is $5,000 closer to
its goal of expanding its
services to the community,
and it has BI-LO to thank.
The store raffled off a
golf cart recently, raising
the targeted amount for
the clinic, which aims to
serve uninsured commu-
nity members with faith-
based care.
The money will help in
the clinics effort to ex-
pand its facility at 400 W.
Main St., Taylors.
We feel like we can ac-
complish it for $300,000
with volunteer labor and
donated materials, Execu-
tive Director Karen Salerno
said. Our goal is to raise
$150,000 before we break
ground in July.
Salerno said it is great
to see local businesses get
involved.
This is so neat, Saler-
no said. This is my BI-LO.
This is where I come, so
Im so proud. Its great to
know that the community
understands that were in
the community to serve
those in need. Its great
when a business in our
community understands
that and wants to support
it.
The expansion will allow
the clinic to provide for
more families, decreasing
wait times and increasing
services.
Its going to bring ad-
ditional exam rooms, edu-
cation rooms and waiting
rooms, Salerno. Well be
able to increase our to-
tal capacity and meet the
needs of our patients in a
much more efficient man-
ner.
BI-LO Store Manager
Keith Wilder said Larry
Copeland, with the clinics
board of directors, ap-
proached him with the
idea.
Sometimes well do
hamburgers or hotdogs
outside, Wilder said. Lar-
ry (Copeland) came to me
and said, I need $5,000. I
said, Larry, how am I sup-
posed to find that money?
and he said, Well, you sell
hamburgers and hotdogs.
I said, Thats a lot of ham-
burgers and hotdogs.
He told me what it was
for and I got to thinking,
he said. I knew some
stores down south got a
golf cart and raffled it off,
so I got the idea, told him
what I wanted to do and
thats what we did.
Wilder said his custom-
ers got on board quickly
for the cause.
It was a great feeling
and you really have to
credit the customers in
the store, Wilder said.
When they saw the bro-
chure that had Taylors
Free Medical Clinic on it,
they knew it was going to
a good cause.
The clinic is open Mon-
day, Tuesday, Wednesday
and Friday from 9 a.m.-
4:30 p.m. It is open 1 p.m.-
9 p.m. on Thursdays.

Gambling
for fun?
Q: How do you feel
about gambling at a ca-
sino, as long as you limit
your spending and dont
expect to win big money?
DR: I dont really have
a moral problem with it,
but I dont understand
the concept. Call me
crazy, but I do not get a
thrill from losing money
Ive worked hard to earn.
Thats not my idea of
entertainment.
When someone tells
me they gamble for fun
or recreation, my first
thought is theyre delu-
sional enough to believe
that theyll actually win
that they think theyre
the exception to the rule.
Otherwise, there would be
no thrill. You may see a
news story once in a while
about someone winning
big money in a casino,
but that rarely happens.
Think, too, about how
much money those people
had flushed down the
toilet previously while
gambling. Theres a really
good chance they didnt
really win anything. In
most cases, they prob-
ably just recouped a small
portion of their previous,
substantial losses.
My advice is dont waste
your time and money
on that stuff. One way
or another, the house
always wins. Thats how
theyre able to build
those giant, billion dollar
places called casinos. Did
you know that some of
those companies are so
big and expansive that
theyre publicly traded
entities? And guess what?
The profits they make off
people who are foolish
enough to gamble their
money away inside their
fancy hallsand call that
entertainmentdrives
their stock prices!
Think about it, Brian.
Why do all the folks
sitting at slot machines
and card tables look like
they cant afford to lose
money? Most of them
look like sad, broken,
lonely people. Maybe
they change when they
sit down. Maybe they
were winners in life and
with money before they
walked through the doors,
and their slumped body
language and the look
of stress and hopeless-
ness they carry is just a
coincidence or the indoor
lighting. But, I dont think
so.
Nobody ever
saves enough
Q: What happens to the
money in an ESA if the
child gets a scholarship
and no longer needs the
money?
DR: In an Educational
Savings Account (ESA),
and in a 529 Plan, you are
allowed to pull out money
tax free in the amount
of the scholarship. But
very rarely do you find
someone going to college
completely free and clear.
Often tuition is covered,
and even tuition and a
dorm room in some cases,
but zero-cost college is
almost unheard of. There
are always living ex-
penses, books and other
miscellaneous items, and
you can use the money in
an ESA for any education-
related expenses.

We were actually wrap-
ping up one of our other
festivals and we were
talking about upcoming
events, Watson said. We
just kind of started talking
about different things we
could do, and the mayor
had mentioned to us in
passing the possibility
of doing an international
festival. We knew it was
something we were inter-
ested in doing and it was
something that seemed
feasible for us.
After a bit of research,
Watson said the city de-
cided to take on the new
challenge.
We looked around the
area at other (similar)
festivals to get ideas and
form our own, unique
one, Watson said. It just
kind of all came together
naturally.
The festival will feature
booths from several dif-
ferent countries.
Its basically an open,
free festival to the pub-
lic for them to come and
learn and be educated
about different cultural
influences that are in and
around Greer, Watson
said. City Park will have
food vendors that will be
offering different interna-
tional cuisines. Well have
about a dozen tents set up
that will have information
pertaining to a specific
country.
Local residents will have
the opportunity to learn
about cultures in places
like Scotland and India.
People will be able to
come up and ask ques-
tions like What languages
are spoken there? or How
far away is it? These tents
will basically display any-
thing from a particular
country that shows off its
culture. Theyre there to
give people a snapshot of
what its like to be in that
country.
The festival also aims to
attract more people into
downtown Greer, boosting
local businesses.
We certainly want to
provide a festival thats
very fun and free to at-
tend, but we also want to
provide some sort of bene-
factor that will help local
businesses, Watson said.
Watson said the re-
sponse to the festival has
been positive so far.
Were expecting a cou-
ple thousand people, Wat-
son said. For a first time
festival, were just glad to
be offering something like
this to the community in
Greer.

SOIREE: Pet questions welcome

FROM PAGE ONE
used to have a camera in
the car, but the cameras
actually worn on the uni-
form now.
The cameras will benefit
the department, as well as
victims. If complications
or discrepancies occur,
the department will be
able to review the video
feed. A grant application
has been submitted, and if
awarded, the grant funds
will be used to purchase
body-based cameras, but
the department will not be
able to afford to outfit all
street officers in the first
year.
A lot of times, when
we go to cases, especially
like CDV (criminal domes-
tic violence) cases, theres
some discrepancy. A lot
of times maybe the victim
doesnt want to prosecute,
feels threatened or doesnt
want to say anything, (but)
were able to have the vid-
eo of the whole incident
and show what happened
when we arrived on the
scene, Holcombe said.
The added use of traffic
computers as well will help
assure accuracy, allowing
officers to document in-
cidents while in the field
and the reports are sent
directly to the state. The
computers are provided
by the state and the de-
partment expects to begin
using them this year.
METH USE UP
Authorities also say
methamphetamine cases
continue to rise due to
cost and accessibility.
The cost of meth the
cost of getting it, the cost
of producing it, the ease
of making it theres a
lot of reasons why, but its
just a low cost drug, Hol-
combe said.
During the 2012 Police
Report, the departments
goal was to handle meth
cases in-house without
requiring the assistance
from Greenville and Spar-
tanburg resources. While
the department is now
able to handle about 90
percent of the work, out-
side assistance is still re-
quired.
We do the majority of
it (meth-lab clean up) on
our own, (but) we also still
require a little assistance
from Greenville and Spar-
tanburg. We have several
officers that are trained
in it. We have most of the
equipment that we need.
I would say that probably
we do 90 percent of it
now, Holcombe said.
To combat this continu-
ing problem, more officers
have been trained to rec-
ognize and manage meth
offenders, some of which
are repeat cases.
Weve got officers that
are monitoring the sales
and use of Sudafeds and
stuff like that, he said.
Theyre able to get with
the pharmacies and tell
whos purchasing them
and the quantities theyre
purchasing them. Theyre
able to look for indica-
tors at peoples residences
now.
CITATIONS, WARNINGS
Compared with 2012, in
2013, citations and warn-
ings were up. Police issued
57 percent more citations
and 19 percent more warn-
ings, however, arrests were
down by 10 percent.
I think what happened
last year on counting for
arrests is our officers
would document if they
arrested somebody for
another agency. In other
words, say you had a war-
rant in Greenville and we
arrested you and gave you
to Greenville, we would
count that as an arrest.
What we changed this year
is, as far as a physical ar-
rest, someone we take to
our jail and book in, he
said.
Holcombe said citations
and warnings went up pri-
marily because a lot of the
younger officers in train-
ing are more proactive.
The number of assigned
cases for 2013 reflects an
unpredictable trend, drop-
ping to 348 assigned cases
last year, which is down
from 393 assigned cases
in 2012. The number is
up from the 288 assigned
cases in 2011.
Along with the drop
in assigned cases, the
departments clearance
rate jumped from 49 per-
cent to 68 percent for
crimes against persons,
but dropped from a 27
percent clearance rate to a
20 percent clearance rate
for clearance of property
crimes.
The amount of violent
crime and property crime
in Greer remains consis-
tent with previous years.
In 2013, 118 violent crimes
and 765 property crimes
were reported. Holcombe
said shoplifting is prob-
ably the most common
property crime.
Over the next year the
department intends to re-
establish the Direct Patrol
Unit, which focuses on
problem areas in the com-
munity. The unit was dis-
banded because of officers
deploying and retiring, but
new officers coming in af-
ford the department the
ability to reestablish the
unit.
POLICE: Eliminating discrepancies
FROM PAGE ONE
animal I was working with
and I was new and didnt
know what I was doing. I
just wanted somebody to
just answer my questions.
So were not a shelter, I
cant take in everybodys
I found it on the side of
the road, but if you have
a question (like) my dogs
been having this issue and
if I cant fix it, I might have
to take it to the shelter,
Give us a call, let us try
to give you some other
options first to try and
keep that animal in your
home.
The theme for this years
soiree is Be Their Hero,
and food, auction items
and entertainment will
be available at the event.
Tickets cost $30 for gen-
eral admission and $40
for VIP admission. Tickets
will be on sale until Friday
at 5 p.m. at Greer Trading
Post, or online at Saved-
Soiree2014.eventzilla.net
with the promotion code:
SAVED, which saves buy-
ers $10 a ticket.
Performers at the event
include, Kylie Odetta, The
Abbey Elmore Band, Alex
Hunnicutt, Harvey Bennett
Jr., Kenny Ruby, Morgan
Riley and Sharon Gerber
with Celloasis.
Last years event helped
raise $1,200 after expens-
es and this years goal is to
raise $1,500.
A lot of [the money
raised] went to vet costs.
We had some seriously ill
ones last year, so thats
where most of it went.
Just helping out with folks
in the community who
maybe contacted us need-
ing help with vet stuff too
thats where a lot of it
goes, Monroe said.
Right now, we do have
a couple of medical issues
coming up. We have one
little dog. To get her re-
homed is going to be $500
for her two surgeries she
has to have, she said.
Corky, a brown Chi-
huahua mix that needs
the surgery, came off the
streets of Greer about six
years ago and was placed
with an older couple that
have since passed away.
Some of the donated
items available for the
silent auction include
merchandise from Sharp-
shooters, Allen Arms and
Palmetto Concealed Car-
ry, as well as several pet
items for dogs of all sizes
and ladies accessories,
such as purses, scarves
and apparel, and various
restaurant gift certificates.
Raffle items will also be
available.
There are certain times
in my life that something
just hits you and thats
where you know thats the
direction youre supposed
to go and youve just got
to follow it. So I dont al-
ways have the answers,
and there are times that I
get discouraged, but you
just keep trucking on for-
ward. Its the little things
that make a difference,
and when you see so many
people that support some-
thing like this, I sit down
and get a little teary about
it because, for so many
years, I did this by my-
self, you know, me and my
husband. When somebody
comes and says, I appreci-
ate the work you do and
hand you $10, that makes
all the difference.

Scentsy
sales will
benefit trip
BY KATIE CRUICE SMITH
FOR THE GREER CITIZEN
Alicia Clayton loves sell-
ing Scentsy products, but
the sales she makes from
now until March 25 are es-
pecially important to the
kids at Praise Cathedral,
who will receive Claytons
commission as part of
their fundraising for Caro-
lina KidsFest 2014.
This is our third year
going as a church group,
and we have been doing
different things to raise
money, said Clayton. The
kids church has been do-
ing different auctions and
raising money for scholar-
ships.
So far, the kids have
held a restaurant auction
featuring donated deals
from local restaurants,
a spa auction featuring
products from Mary Kay
and local salons and a rec-
reation auction featuring
deals at the Pavilion, free
tumbling and karate les-
sons, among others. The
kids are also planning an
All About You auction
with products from Scent-
sy, Origami Owl and other
similar vendors.
The Carolina KidFest is
a Church of God disciple-
ship convention that is be-
ing held at the Renaissance
Charlotte Suites Hotel for
children ages 6 through
12. Special guests include
Steve Hogue, Chagy, Rob
Biagi, Justin Sigel, B-SHOC
and Jeff Smith. Set for
April 25 27, the confer-
ence draws churches from
the Carolinas, Virginia,
and Georgia. On that Sat-
urday, the Praise Cathedral
group is also planning a
trip to Carowinds between
services.
The cost is $135 per
person, and that includes
meals, room, services and
Carowinds, said Clayton.
Anything else that the
kids want to buy, such as
souvenirs, is covered by
the kids themselves.
To help the kids reach
their goal, Clayton de-
cided that she would do-
nate her commission from
this months Scentsy sale,
which is 25 percent of the
total purchases.
A typical month can
bring in anywhere be-
tween $150 to $500 or
$600, said Clayton. But,
I usually earn about $130
a month, which will send
at least one kid to the con-
ference.
Orders can be made at
www.aliciac.scentsy.us.
There is a link to the Caro-
lina KidFest on her page
and shipping is $8 for all
orders placed online. To
order directly through
Clayton, call her at 380-
8064.

Scary collision
Greer fremen responded to an accident last week on SC Highway 14. According to po-
lice, a deer struck the side of this van, breaking the passenger window and spraying this
infant passenger with glass. An ambulance transported the child and his mother, the
driver, away from the scene.
A Greer man has been
charged with ill treatment
of animals/torture after
a complainant saw him
spray a puppy with a wa-
ter hose before severely
striking him (the dog) with
an object. Gary Anders,
43, of 209 Virginia Ave.,
was arrested Saturday by
Greer police.
According to incident
reports, an officer was dis-
patched to Anders address
in reference to a complaint
of animal abuse. Upon ar-
rival the officer heard a
dog yelping from the back
of the residence.
The officer walked
around the residence to a
storage shed where yelp-
ing could be heard. The
officer then observed An-
ders walk out of the stor-
age shed and noticed he
had blood on his right
hand.
The officer then ob-
served the dog was clearly
bleeding from its mouth
and nose and also had a
swollen leg he couldnt
use to walk.
Anders told the officer
he was trying to fix the
dogs leg because it was
hit by a car a few weeks
prior. However, the com-
plainant told the officer he
heard the dog crying and
looked out of his window
and saw the subject (An-
ders) grab the puppy and
carry it inside the house
where he held it down by
its neck and sprayed it
with water. The complain-
ant stated Anders then
grabbed an object and
struck the dog with it. The
complainant said the dog
then cried louder and ran
away, at which point, An-
ders grabbed the dog and
carried it into the shed.
The complainant told the
officer he believed Anders
was attempting to kill the
dog inside the shed.
The officer arrested An-
ders and transported him
to the Greer City Jail. There
was no mention in the in-
cident report of where the
dog was taken.
(Note: All information
contained in the following
blotter was taken directly

reports filed by the Greer
Police Department or The
Spartanburg County Sher-
iffs Office or The Green-
ville County Sheriffs Of-
fice. All suspects are to be
considered innocent until
proven guilty in the court

the officer detected a
strong smell of alcohol
coming from inside Scotts
truck. He also noticed his
speech to be slurred. Scott
was asked to exit the ve-
hicle and when he did, the
officer observed an open
beer in the drivers side
floorboard. The officer
conducted a series of field
sobriety tests on Scott that
he failed. He was arrested
and transported to the
Greer City Jail where he
refused a breathalyzer.

day morning. Coroner
Parks Evans identified
the victim as 39-year-old
Laurie Patton of Travelers
Rest.
According to a statement
released by the GCSO, a 911
call was received around
5:30 a.m. Monday morning

All rooms surrounding the
room where the incident
occurred were evacuated.
There was no evidence of a
meth lab found inside the
room by The Greenville

Hours after the explo-
sion occurred, deputies
with the Banks County
Sheriffs Office stopped
a man on I-85 who was
driving Pattons car for an
unrelated traffic violation.
Sgt. Carissa McFaddin with
the Banks County Sheriffs
Office told Fox Carolina
that deputies pulled the
man (later identified as
Darrin Eskew) over be-
cause he was traveling 35
mph on I-85. She stated
that Eskew was acting er-
ratic and unpredictable,
and when deputies tried
to get him out of the car,
he attempted to strike a
deputy in the face.
He was eventually tased
after a brief struggle and
arrested on two counts of
felony obstruction of an
officer along with miscel-
laneous traffic charges.
McFaddin said Greenville
County deputies planned
to speak with Eskew about
their investigation Tues-
day. Anyone with informa-
tion pertaining to this inci-
dent is asked to call Crime
Stoppers at 23-CRIME.
The Greenville County

area hotel
A Virginia man received
a 35-year prison sentence
last week for sexually
abusing a 4-year-old girl
at a Spartanburg County

Daniel William Spade,
36, of Manasses, Va., was
found guilty of first-degree

The Spar-
t a n b u r g
C o u n t y

fice released

Know your
role, ref
S
ports referees are
often the subjects of
some pretty severe
abuse. Whether it be
verbal, or even sometimes
physical, the guys in black
and white stripes dont
have it easy.
I know. Ive been there.
OK, Ive kind of been
there. I was an intramu-
ral referee in college,
so needless to say, my
training for the gig was
limited. I learned on the
fly, and with the learn-
ing curve came a lot of
torment.
College kids took turns
yelling at me, cursing
and explaining why they
thought my call was the
wrong one. I know it was
intramural sports, but the
ideology behind the mat-
ter is the same. Referees
get the raw end of the
deal.
That being said, its
what you sign up for. Refs
are the impartial judges in
sports. The guys assigned
with the task of remain-
ing cool, keeping things
together and making the
right call.
There are those with
whistles, however, who
see things otherwise. Its
something that has be-
come an increasing prob-
lem in sports, particularly
basketball. A guy will fall
over, the whistle will blow
and everyone looks to
the closest referee for the
call.
Thats when its show
time for the little guy
time for the game official
to shine. You can see it
coming. A ref knows hes
being watched and acts
accordingly, dramatiz-
ing his call as if he were
single-handedly changing
the game. If its a call that
goes in favor of a rowdy
home crowd, the ref will
give it even more juice,
awaiting the applause that
will surely lie at the end
of his whistle.
This past week, I saw
something rather disturb-
ing. A college basketball
ref made a call that
Cincinnati coach Mick
Cronin didnt particularly
agree with. The play was
over and Cronin was do-
ing what weve seen 1,000
coaches do before. He was
flipping out.
Cronin was visibly
upset, getting as close as
he could to the official
to make his case heard.
After explaining the call
to Cronin, the ref began
to walk away, causing the
head coach to yell even
more. The ref was over
it. He proceeded to get
in Cronins face to issue
a technical. The team
separated the two, after
it seemed a fight was im-
minent.
Theres absolutely no
way around this one. The
rouge referee crossed a
line. He broke one of the
unwritten rules of sports.
No matter what is hap-
pening around you, YOU
have to remain cool. YOU
have to control the game.
YOU have to make the
right call.
Refs are becoming
something more than
what theyre paid to be,
which is simply an of-
ficial. Theyre becoming
less than impartial and
seemingly boastful in
their power to dictate the
outcome of a game.
I know referees are hu-
man. They feel the gravity
of the moment just like
players, coaches and fans.
But, theyre supposed to
know better. Theyre sup-
posed to be robotic, quick
and decisive.
If youre making a call,
dont jazz it up like youre
happy to be the center of
attention. Take it from an

know what Im talking

Several area wrestlers
took home state champi-
onships, while others were
crowed runners-up at the
Class AAA and Class AAAA
individual state wrestling
tournament last week.
Eastsides Clay Walker
secured his fourth indi-
vidual state title, defeat-
ing Emeralds Cody Pirkle
in the 132-pound weight
class final. With the win,
Walker became only the
16th wrestler to notch
four individual champion-
ships.
Clays brother, David
(126), also brought home a
title, winning a 12-6 deci-
sion over Swanseas Dylan
Crossland.
Zane Mitchell (106) was
the third Eagle to fin-
ish atop his weight class,
knocking off Cody Owens
in the finale.
Charlton Clark (120),
Cole Anderson (138) and
Michael Fernandez (195)
each finished as runners-
up for Eastside. Anderson
and Fernandez already
have individual state
championships to boast.
Byrnes wrestlers also
saw success over the
weekend.
Alex Spencer (120) and
Charlie Conner (152), both
Rebel seniors, came up
just shy of claiming a state
title, falling 4-2 and 6-4 re-
spectively.
Alex Spencer had a
great tournament, Byrnes
coach Russ Howard said.
He didnt start wrestling
until the ninth grade so it
was a big accomplishment
for him. Most guys, nowa-
days, have been wrestling
since middle school, so
this is a great way to finish
his career in high school.
Howard said Conner has
been just as impressive.
Charlie Conner had a
fabulous senior season,
Howard said. Hes only
lost to one other guy in
South Carolina up until
Saturday. He lost to an
eventual four-time (state
champion).
The head coach said the
two have nothing to hang
their heads about.

Ends boys
playoff run
BY BILLY CANNADA
SPORTS EDITOR
The Rebels came up just
shy of advancing to the
state semifinals last week,
falling in a tight contest to
Hillcrest, 68-62.
The fourth-seeded By-
rnes boys basketball team
end a playoff run that saw
two wins over higher-seed-
ed opponents.
Last week, the Rebels
were a few more ticks
away from defeating an-
other one.
Byrnes took a 21-16 lead
in the second quarter, but
the Rams rallied, respond-
ing with a significant run
that left the Rebels star-
ing at a 32-26 deficit. That
lead extended to double
digits by the end of the
third.
Some of our execution
and urgency just wasnt
where it needed to be when
it comes to playoff games,
Byrnes coach Layne Fowler
said. A lot of that had to
do with Hillcrest. They re-
ally share the basketball
very well. They dont care
who gets the credit.
The Rebels cut the ad-
vantage to seven on sev-
eral occasions, but let the
game slip in the final eight
minutes. Byrnes pulled the
contest to within four in
the final seconds, but that
would be as close as the
team got.
I thought we played
pretty well, Fowler said.
I didnt think we played
with quite the urgency
I thought we wouldve
knowing there was a berth
to the Upper State champi-
onship on the line, but our
guys played hard.
The Rams moved on
to the Class AAAA state
championship after de-
feating Irmo in the semi-
finals.
Syverio Jones led the
way for the Rebels, scoring
19 points in the contest.
Hillcrests Randall Shaw
led all scorers with 21
points, while Tyler Hooker
added 19 and Darius White
tacked on 16.
Theyve got a lot of
good pieces, Fowler said.
We lost by six, but I felt
like if we had made a few
more plays each half we
could have beaten them.
Byrnes finishes the sea-
son with an overall record
of 17-10.
It was a great season,
Fowler said. Weve got a

Decision
to leave
tough
BY BILLY CANNADA
SPORTS EDITOR
Byrnes football coach
Bobby Bentley shocked his
team last week when he
broke the news he would
be leaving to take a coach-
ing job at Auburn Univer-
sity.
It was not the first time
Bentley had been offered
the job, however. The
long-time coach turned
down Auburn last year to
coach the Rebels.
I was excited to be back
at Byrnes, Bentley said. I
knew I had that option of
going to Auburn last year.
I didnt know they would
come back. They came
back this year and the fact
that it was with quarter-
backs made me think a
little bit more.
Were all happy here, he
said. Thats what makes
it tough. Thats what made
this such a tough decision.
I feel like its in Gods will
for this to happen. Were
excited about it.
Bentley said it was dif-
ficult choosing to leave
behind the town he knows
best.
This is my hometown,
he said. This is what I
know. We dont know any
different.
Bentley said the Byrnes
players seemed to under-
stand that it was the right
move for his family.
The guys understood,
Bentley said. Its tough

RIVERSIDE
The Riverside baseball
team is geared and ready
for another season, and
head coach Travis Pitman
has high expectation for
his team.
The Warriors will be in
the hunt for their first
state championship since
2006.
We expect to compete
with everyone in our re-
gion, Pitman said. We are
very solid offensively and
have great team speed. If
we throw strikes and play
good defense like I think
we will, we should have a
very good season.
Riverside will see four of
its starters return, includ-
ing: first baseman Dylan
Graham, shortstop Tyler
Crowe, center fielder Aus-
tin Riggins and left-hand-
ed pitcher Austin Fahr.
Graham led the team in
hits in the preseason, and
Pitman describes him as
the heart of the team.
Pitman will also look to
Fahr and Riggins for pro-
duction, who saw a lot of
innings in 2013.
The season will not be
without test, however. Pit-
man said his squad will
face a tough region sched-
ule.
Our region is one of the
best in the state in (Class)
AAAA, Pitman said. Ev-
ery team is very talented
and fundamentally sound.
Any and all wins in the re-
gion are considered great
wins, and every game calls
for a teams best effort.
BLUE RIDGE
The Blue Ridge baseball
team is hoping strong per-
formances on the mound
carry its 2014 season.
The Tigers return six of
nine starters from a team
that finished 17-7 last sea-
son and won 15 of its last
17 regular season games.
The Tigers lost two gut-
wrenching playoff games
at AC Flora and Emerald
to end the year.
The Tigers will rely on
three senior arms at the
top of the rotation. Lefty
Robert Westenreider, a
Newberry signee and All-
Region selection last sea-
son, will anchor the staff
as the ace. He will be fol-
lowed in the rotation by
Hunter Wheeler and John
Mason Reynolds. Senior
Ty Montgomery, juniors
Weston Moody and Mikey
Urueta, and sophomores
John Coker and Ethan Few
will provide solid depth in
the pitching rotation, ac-
cording to Henson.
We have been extremely
pleased with our pitching
in the preseason scrim-
mages (wins over Powder-
sville 8-2, Wade Hampton
5-2, and Woodruff 9-1).
We knew our top three
arms would be solid, but
the depth of our staff has
been most impressive in
the pre-season, Henson
said.
The staff combined for
37 strikeouts in 24 innings
through the first three
scrimmages.
Montogmery, an All-Re-
gion selection last season,
returns at catcher.
Ty is among one of the
best defensive catchers
in the area and has been
extremely impressive not
only behind the plate, but
also at the plate, Henson
said.
Senior Alex Williams will
anchor the infield at short-
stop while senior Justin
Center will hold down
third base. Senior Augus-
tus Cothran will start at
first base and sophomore
Ethan Few and freshman
Elijah Henderson will
compete for the start at
second.
Our infield defense will
be solid and must be for
us to be successful, he
said.
In the outfield, the Tigers
return three starters from
last season in Wheeler,
Reynolds and sophomore
Jacob Wilbanks.
The Tigers will seek to
apply pressure on their
opponents this season
with a solid pitching staff
and stingy defense.
We will need to play
extremely well to have a
chance to win. Our region
is so strong. Greenville,
Eastside, and Travelers
Rest all won their respec-
tive districts last season.
All three of those teams
are not only loaded with
talented players, but
are also extremely well-
coached, Henson said.
The real challenge in our
region is that it is a deep
region. Greer, Pickens and
Berea have talent on their
rosters and very strong
coaching staffs. It will be
an intense and exciting re-
gion season, and the four
teams who qualify for the
playoffs will be a force in
the playoffs.
EASTSIDE
The Eagles are hoping
a talented core group of
players will propel playoff
hopes in the spring.
Eastside coach Scott Er-
win said a solid defense
will be the key for success
in 2014.
We have a good mix of
quality returners and some
talented younger players
that just need experience
on the varsity level, Erwin
said. We should be solid
defensively. Our lineup
should be able to produce
some runs.
Eastside returns senior
catcher Sam Jones, senior
first baseman Jacob Marke,
junior second baseman
Graham Mitchell, junior
shortstop Bryson Williams,
senior third baseman Zach
White and senior outfield-
er Alex Green.
The key will be our
pitching, he said. We
graduated 90 percent of
our innings pitched from
last year. We have some
quality arms that just
need to get on the mound
and get innings under
their belt. As the season
goes along and we become
a closer-knit group, we
should improve from be-
ginning to end.
Erwin said his team will
have no time to relax this
season, facing opponents
in what he believes is one
of the toughest regions in
the state.
Our region, year in and
year out, is one of the
toughest in the state, Er-
win said. That was proven
again last year, when three
of the final four teams in
the upstate were from our
region.
Erwin said teams in the
region are only getting
better.
I think the same will
hold true this year, he
said. Blue Ridge returns
a lot of experience and
quality pitching. Green-
ville has a lot of talent
returning. Travelers Rest
returns good pitching and
is always in the mix at the
end. Pickens has a new
coach, and I think they will
be much improved. Greer,
Berea and Southside have
some talented young play-
ers that will make them
competitive.
GREER
The Greer baseball team
will be looking to gain
some varsity experience
in a hurry with only two
starting seniors on this
years roster.
The Yellow Jackets have
been aiming to get better
each week.
Were just going to have
to keep getting better ev-
eryday, Greer coach Bob
Massullo said. Ive been
young for the last three
years. I have two kids on
my roster this year that
have varsity experience.
These JV guys that Ive
brought up have not been
in varsity ball games up
until the tournament this
weekend and theyre still
playing like JVs.
Greer will rely on return-
ing starter Bo Roberts, who
had a .327 batting average
last season. Massullo said
he will also be looking to
Chance Coleman for pro-
duction, who he says has
raw talent and led the JV
in fielding and hitting.
I told them were not
really good right now,
Massullo said. Were just
going to have to keep work-
ing hard and trying to get
better and better and see
what happens. Thats what
we need to happen.
They need to mature
really quickly for me, he
said.
Massullo will be looking
to the older guys for guid-
ance and leadership on the
diamond.
I got all 10th and 11th
graders out on the ball
field right now except for
a couple of seniors that
start, Massullo said. I
need the older guys to cor-
ral the younger guys and
lead them the right way.
Massullo said teams in
the region keep getting
better.
As always, youve got
Greenville and Eastside
who are always pretty
good, Massullo said. Blue
Ridge has had five guys
who have signed with col-
leges. We scrapped with
them last year and I think
they beat us by one run
both games. Coach (Tra-
vis) Henson has it going
up there.
Its going to be tough,
he said. This has always
been a tough baseball con-
ference.
BYRNES
The Rebels are gearing
up for another season, and
the team is hoping for in-
stant success with veteran
leadership.
Byrnes will return right-
handed senior pitcher
Alex Eubanks, short stop
Mason Streater, catcher
Adam Asbill, outfielder
Caleb Nelson and outfield-
er Alex Vazquez. All were
starters for the Rebels last
season.
Byrnes coach Michael
Maus said he will also need
solid play from first base-
man/right-handed pitcher
Hunter Hernandez.
(We just want to) com-
pete and try to win every
ball game, Maus said. We
have to play good defense,
throw strikes and hit the
ball hard.
Maus and his team en-
ter another year of tough
region play, and the head
coach believes the field is
strong.
It should still be strong
with teams, like Wade
Hampton, Dorman, and
Mauldin, he said. A lot of
talent top to bottom with
many signed and commit-
ted juniors and seniors at
the different schools.

MENS TENNIS
mens tennis team won its
third Conference Carolinas
match of the season, pick-
ing up a closely contested
5-4 victory over the Bull-
dogs of Barton College.
The Crusaders got off
to a good start in doubles
play, taking two of three
from the Bulldogs. Bar-
tons Rafael Ruiz and Jake
McCartney took the first
doubles game 9-7 over
North Greenvilles Jose
Castillo and Rafael Lenz
Gonzalez. Sergio Araujo
Filho and Andres Santiago
Robles Camacho evened
the tally at 1-1 with a 9-7
win in the second doubles
spot. Sjors van Eck and
Marcelo Yshikawa contin-
ued their solid doubles
season with another 9-7
win for North Greenville
over Nick Genest and Yaxi
Pintado.
The Crusaders held the
2-1 advantage heading into
singles, but things got dic-
ey for North Greenville as
Barton took the first three
singles matches, gaining a
4-2 lead. Jose Castillo (6-1,
6-2), Juan Vargas (6-0, 6-0)
and Lenz Gonzalez (6-2,
6-4) fell victim to the Bull-
dogs.
Sjors van Eck set the tone
of the final three singles
matches, winning his sec-
ond game of the day with
a 6-1, 6-2 win over Nick
Genest. Jorge Padilla then
lost in the fifth singles
game, and Sergio Araujo
Filho evened the overall
tally at 4-4 with a 6-4, 6-3
win, forcing a winner-take-
all sixth singles frame be-
tween Andres Camacho
and Daniel Radu.
Camacho came up big
for North Greenville, win-
ning a three-set thriller
3-6, 7-5, and 6-4, to hand
the Crusaders their sec-
ond conference win of the
week. North Greenville
improved to 3-1 in confer-
ence play.
SOFTBALL
softball team earned two
straight wins Saturday af-
ternoon in a pair shutouts
over Lees-McRae College
14-0, and 2-0.
The Crusaders saw a
strong performance from
right-handed ace Rachel
Glazebrook in game one,
who posted her first per-
fect game of the 2014
season. Glazebrook faced
the five-inning minimum,
while striking out seven.
The Bobcats failed to place
a runner on base during
the contest.
As for the North Green-
ville offense, the runs in
game one came in bunch-
es, starting in the first
inning. The Crusaders
quickly loaded the bases
and picked up a run on a
Morgan Roach walk, which
scored Sarah Armstrong.
North Greenville went up
2-0 on its next at bat when
a Jordan Farmer single
scored Shayna finley. The
Crusaders would gain
complete control of the
game after Cassie Carpen-
ter knocked a pitch over
the right center fence,
clearing the bases and giv-
ing the Crusaders a 6-0
lead on her second home
run of the season.
The Crusaders would
plate four runs in the sec-
ond inning, three in the
third and another in the
first to take a 14-0 lead as
the teams headed to the
fifth. The Crusaders fin-
ished the day batting .700,
going 14-20 at the plate
during game one. Five dif-
ferent players got a hit for
the Crusaders, including
Tori Freedman who was 1-
2 with a walk and an RBI,
and Megan Johnson, who
was 1-3 with two RBI.
Three players had mul-
tiple hits for North Green-
ville, including Farmer
who was 3-3, with two
runs scored and three RBI.
Armstrong reached base
every at bat for the Cru-
saders, once on an error,
and was 3-4 with three
runs scored and a triple.
Carpenter was 2-3 from
the dish, with two runs
scored and a game high
four RBI.
The name of the game
in the encore was pitching
and defense. North Green-
ville saw a strong perfor-
mance on the mound, this
time from junior Sarah
Armstrong. Lees-McRae
held its own on defense
in the second game, hold-
ing NGU to just two runs
on six hits. The Bobcats
picked up six hits of their
own, but were unable to
capitalize leaving three
runners on base.
The Crusaders stranded
11 runners on base, but
managed to pick up some
run support in the third
inning. Glazebrook got
the inning started off for
North Greenville with a
leadoff double. She would
be pinch ran for by Chris-
tie Reilly, who later scored
when Freedman doubled
two batters later to give
NGU a 1-0 lead.
The Bobcats attempted
a seventh inning rally in
the top half after a leadoff
single from Sadie Lagle,
but Armstrong and the
Crusader defense would
stomp out the flame
quickly, picking three
quick outs.
CRUSADER
CORNER
FROM B1
younger ones. I think the
older ones understood my
relationship with coach
(Gus) Malzahn and what I
was trying to do.
Bentley said it had been
his dream to coach at the
high school since elemen-
tary school.
I reminded them of my
story and that Ive always
dreamed of being a coach
here, Bentley said. Weve
had some success and
people have bought into
the brand of Rebel foot-
ball here. It was a dream
because it wasnt easy.
It wasnt built when I got
here. The program had a
lot of success behind it,
but we had lost that lus-
ter. We had a lot of work
to do.
The reaction to his deci-
sion has been positive.
Ive not had one person
(say something negative),
Bentley said. Its all been
supportive and positive.
Bentley said he would
not have left Byrnes if it
were not a great opportu-
nity.
If it wasnt Auburn and
coach Malzahn I probably
wouldnt have done it,
Bentley said. Thats the
reason why I did it. Im ex-
cited to work with the SEC
champions and a top-level
program. Im going to have
to work myself back up.
Its going to be great.
Now coaching quarter-
backs at the university,
Bentley leaves behind a
program he says will con-
tinue to succeed.
The program is in
place, Bentley said. The
sign of a good leader is
whether or not you can
put people behind you to
continue what youve built.
Thats what weve done.
Weve all invested our-
selves into other people
and I think the programs
ready to continue to roll
and do whats expected.
The program was built on
that foundation.
Bentleys son, Jake, was
set to take over quarter-
backing duties for the
Rebels next season, and
already has a scholarship
offer from Auburn. Bent-
ley said the thought of
coaching his son in college
is enticing.
Its come up a little bit
in conversations with the
family, Bentley said. Re-
ally, it was time for us to
do this. It was time. Its
great that the possibility
is there to coach Jake in
college, but its just a con-
versation. Its nothing we
set our minds on.

lot to build on. It has been
21 years since we made it
to the third round. Theres
a lot of good things to
hang our hat on and hope-
fully we will build on it.
Fowler said this team
was a good group.
They bought into what
we were doing, Fowler
said. We just started be-
ing more consistent. When
you start making plays
consistently, those are
usually the teams that
have success.
Heading into the offsea-
son, Byrnes will be looking
to do even more damage
next year.
I think we could be
better next year than we
were this year, Fowler
said. Thats saying a lot,
but weve got six of our
top eight guys coming
back and weve got good
young guys. The future is
very bright, but we have to
keep raising the bar.
FROM B1
Both of them had great
tournaments and great
performances in the fi-
nals, Howard said. They
just came up a little short.
Thats what you try to do.
You try to compete and
get to that last match, and
then see what happens.
The Rebels will be losing
some key leadership and
strength next season.
I cant say enough
about them, Howard said.
Theyre great senior lead-
ers. Alex is a phenomenal
worker. Its amazing the
energy he brings into the
wrestling room every day.
It shows in his perfor-
mance. Charlie is a kid who
has been wrestling all his
life. He understands and
having a guy that wants
to be there and compete,
those are just the intan-
gibles you cant teach.

Hollywild
debuts
triplet
bear cubs
BY KATIE JONES
STAFF WRITER
With the 2014 season
starting, Hollywild has
some new additions to the
animal park: three 8-week-
old bear cubs.
The Syrian brown bears,
born to parents Giza and
Ramses, came into the
world Jan. 11. They will
be hand-reared, a common
practice, according to Kim
Atchley, Hollywild market-
ing director.
These animals will be
cared for by people so
they need to be familiar
and comfortable with their
keeper, Atchley said.
The bears are cared for
by Tara Rihel, zookeeper
and surrogate bear moth-
er. They are just starting
to teeter around. They
weigh about 10 pounds
each now, but will eventu-
ally reach several hundred
pounds.
The bear cubs are al-
ready exhibiting unique
personalities, Rihel said.
Shes very much more
a princess, Rihel said.
Shes much more active
and independent. Shes
the first one up. Shes got
a string of pearls around
her neck is how I look at
her.
The park is holding a
contest to name the bears
two females and one
male, which is the first
male born at the park.
Submissions are accepted
through March 30 on hol-
lywild.com and forms are
available at the park.
We really want it to be
for people to help name
them and come back and
see them as they grow. Its
very cool, Atchley said.
Whats even better about
what has happened here
is weve had cubs born for
the last three years. They
can see infant cubs, they
can see a 1-year-old cub,
they can see three 2-year-
old cubs and then adult
bears. They can really get
a feel for the progression
of growth.
Hollywild will have pri-
vate bear encounters with
the cubs for $50 per per-
son.
Theyll make their first
appearance at Hollywilds
International Earth Day
Celebration on March
22 at 1 p.m. in the am-
phitheatre. The day-long
celebration will include a
Creature Feature program,
other special programs
and guest presenters.
In addition to the bears,
Hollywild has several hun-
dred animals birds of all
kinds, livestock and big
cats.
Several of the animals
are retired from circus
work or have been in mov-
ies and commercials.
The park is open daily
April Labor Day, week-
ends during March and
Labor Day October. Hol-
lywild is also open during
the Christmas season for
the annual lights.
The walking tour of the
park gives an up-close
look at many of the ani-
mals and has petting and
feeding areas, creating an
interactive experience.
We want people to un-
derstand that this is their
animal park, Atchley
said. Because were non-
profit, because we rely
completely on community
support. Thats one of our
promotions were your
park. Were not a state-run
facility. We want people to
say, Hey, this is my back-
yard.
During the brief period
that the park is closed,
renovations are done.
Hollywild was founded
in 1970 as M & M Zoo
essentially a backyard
menagerie, Atchley said.
In 1999, it was converted
from a zoo structure to a
nonprofit organization.
The idea is that, really,
this is the communitys fa-
cility, Atchley said. This
is their place to have fun,
hang out. The stories of
families that make con-
nections, generation to
generation, just so inspire
everyone here.
Admission is $10 for
adults, $8 for children,
senior citizens and handi-
capped during March, the
sneak preview month
and this includes the In-
ternational Earth Day cel-
ebration.

LIVING HERE
The Greer Citizen
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5, 2014 THE GREER CITIZEN B5
BY KATIE JONES
STAFF WRITER
Some people thrive on
recognition. Others work
quietly behind the scenes
for years without the spot-
light, without a paycheck.
Greer Soup Kitchen re-
cently honored its long-
time partners at its recent
banquet at First Presbyte-
rian.
Every year, we do a vol-
unteer of the year. I always
change it up. So this year,
I wanted to do something
different, said Martha
ONeal, operations man-
ager. You know that were
open seven days a week
and most of the weekday
crew knows each other.
We dont know the week-
end crews and there are so
many.
Praise Cathedral has
been working with the
Greer Soup Kitchen for 13
years.
Praise is just dear,
ONeal said.
Covenant United Meth-
odist has worked with
the soup kitchen for two
decades. The group is an-
other group I dont have to
worry about, she said.
Its a wonderful thing.
Im so excited that Julie
(Roberts) has taken over
the reins for Covenant
there, ONeal said. Shes
making sure weve got pa-
per products. Shes mak-
ing sure that Tuesdays are
working and smooth with
our new lead, Nancy.
First Presbyterian has
worked with Greer Soup
Kitchen since day one.
First Pres has been
my family and will be my
family until Im no longer
here, ONeal said. I have
wonderful friends at this
churchFirst Pres is amaz-
ing. They do a lot for this
community that nobody
knows about. Theres 30
(people) on this crew and
this crew rotates. We have
five that are always with us
and then they rotate that
out every three weeks. You
get to see new faces every
week. They have a dish-
washing crew. They have a
tea crew. They have a crew
for everythingIts just
amazing. I love my First
Pres group.
Joan White accepted the
plaque on First Presbyteri-
ans behalf.
Its for our whole group,
all 30 of us, White said.
Theyve all worked so
hard. This is their award.
ONeal is one of two
part-time employees,
which makes up the entire
Greer Soup Kitchen paid
staff. Without its extensive
volunteer staff, the soup
kitchen wouldnt exist.
Two part-time paid em-
ployees thats it which
is operations manager and
the janitor. Were part-
time. Emphasize on the
part-time, ONeal said.
With that being said, if
you did not have the vol-
unteers, you couldnt feed
a hundred and fifty people
a day. Its not possible.
While the soup kitchen
has an adequate volunteer
staff, it does have mate-
rial needs: canned fruit,
cream of mushroom soup,
canned tomatoes, self-ris-
ing corn meal and sugar.
ONeal also announced
Adam Wickliffe as the in-
coming board chairman,
replacing Alton Free. Hes
heard hell have a great
time as the board chair-
man, Wickliffe said.
Its because I have an in-
credibly, amazing board,
he said. So talented, so
blessed.
Greer Soup Kitchen honors longtime partners
Its because I have an incredibly, amazing
board. So talented, so
blessed.

PART 2
Editors Note: The follow-
ing is the second part of
a story documenting the
true events of a fishing
trip that took place a
few weeks ago in Central
Florida. Some names have
been changed to protect
certain people from of-
fense, embarrassment or
anger.
A
little after noon, Billy
finally pulled us out
of the shallow chan-
nel. The day had been,
in all respects, a dismal
failure, producing only
about four fish in close to
five hours.
Sure is tough today,
Phil muttered, taking a
dead shiner off the hook
and chucking it like a
Frisbee into the water. A
seagull screeched, then
dove down, grabbed the
dead fish in its beak and
flew away with a few
smooth flaps of its wings.
About three seconds later,
another seagull chased
the bird down in the sky,
trying to steal the shiner
away in midair.
I still havent caught a
fish, I said.
Ouch, My brother
Phil said. Bucks gettin
skunked.
You still aint caught a
fish? Billy asked, his blue
eyes wide and glaring.
I shook my head.
Thats a bummer, he
said, staring into my eyes
as if awaiting a reaction.
I fought off the urge to
tackle him off the boat
and strangle him in the
shallow water.
A little later, Billy
slowed the vessel, lit
a cigarette and looked
around frantically.
Which way wed come
in here? he asked.
Youre asking the
wrong people. It all looks
the same to me, Phil
answered.
It was true; the entire
3,000-acre reservoir
was shallow with thick
patches of vegetation pro-
truding from the surface
in all directions.
It was a perfect breed-
ing ground for huge bass,
as some of the states
biggest fish had been
caught in the reservoir
and the famous Stick-
marsh/Farm 13 lake that
fed it. Unfortunately, it
was a maze to navigate,
and Billy wouldnt have
been any more lost had he
parachuted into a South
American jungle.
Thing about this
lake stuff gets moved
around, he mumbled.
See that wall of grass over
there; it wasnt even there
when we come in this
morning.
He took his old greasy
hat off and looked around
again, as if the cap had
somehow hampered his
thinking in some way.
Ya see, all these boats,
especially them tourist
guide boats, get to moving
around a lot in here and
they blow things around,
he said, scratching at his
scalp like a hound. You
might have 20 feet of
open water in front of
ya one minute, and an
hour later be completely
blocked in.
Are you being serious,
I said, pulling the dead
shiner off my hook and
throwing it into a nearby
grass patch where the
birds wouldnt find it.
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
buddy, he said, grinning
wildly as he fumbled
around in his pockets for
another cigarette. When
he found one, he lit it and
revved the motor.
Yall hang onto some-
thing. We gonna try it,
he said.
Before we could ask
what he was talking
about, he was gunning the
motor straight through a
thick wall of hydrilla.
For a few seconds, it
sounded like we were
grinding coconuts in a
blender, but we finally
trudged through the
grassy mass and into
open water.
Mercifully, the day was
winding down. The wind
had picked up to about
15 mph, rendering Billys
trolling motor and small
anchor completely use-
less. He was at the back
of the boat, hunched over
and smoking with his gut
spilling over his jeans.
The wind was roaring so
much that it was hard to
hear, but it sounded like
he was telling Phil about
the all the animals hed
skinned and eaten over
the years.
Flavoring the account of
his carnivorous conquests
with profuse profanity, he
essentially concluded that
the only member of the
animal kingdom that he
hadnt eaten was a skunk.
Ordinarily I might have
asked whether hed ever
dabbled into cannibalism,
but I just wasnt in the
mood.
It was nearing 3 p.m.
and Id caught just one
fish. Altogether wed got-
ten less than a half dozen
in over seven hours. It
was clear Billys heart was
no longer in it, just as
his brain had apparently
checked out before he
even took the boat off the
trailer. Of the six dozen
shiners wed bought that
morning, just two were
left alive in the livewell
when Billy decided to
start heading back.
Yall get those last
ones on and drop em out
there, he yelled, cranking
the motor. We gonna try
to troll em around some
of these here mats.
Phil hooked the
two small fish and we
dropped them jerking
spastically into the water,
giving them line as we
watched the bobbers
dance away from us.
As we trolled, Billy
yacked on with some
story about how hed lost
his bottom teeth a few
decades ago. It was a
chain of events I didnt re-
ally comprehend -- some-
thing about blowing into
a snorkeling mask while
he was trying to get an
underwater view of girls
in bikinis.
He was still giggling
about it when my bobber
disappeared in a huge
splash about forty feet
behind the boat.
SEE FISHING | B7
T
he season of Lent
starts today with Ash
Wednesday.
Its a time of abstinence,
moderation or sacrifice.
For me, its also a time of
reflection and learning
about myself. There are
many personal variations
on how to observe Lent
some people give up
meat or TV.
Truth be told, Im not
an especially religious
person. I was raised Cath-
olic and I still consider
myself one, but I havent
been active since I was a
teenager for a number of
reasons.
For whatever reason,
Lent has been the aspect
of Catholicism Ive stuck
with, always been devout
about. I make it a point
to abstain from meat on
Fridays and Ash Wednes-
day and always give some-
thing up.
Ive always made it a
point to make some sort
of sacrifice. Last year, I
went to the gym every day
before work (sacrificing
sleep and my lazy ways).
Ive given up caffeine,
which was the most
painful Lent-item Ive
sacrificed. There was a
year I made it a point to
go to church every week
and a year when I stopped
swearing.
Lent has been a great
time of reflection. Its a
great way to learn about
yourself. During the caf-
feine sacrifice, when I was
17 or so, I learned I was
a serious caffeine junkie.
The first day I ended up
in bed with a horrible
headache at 4 p.m.
Im still not sure what
Im going to do this time
around. Cut caffeine out
again? Get back to the
gym? Volunteer? Stop
complaining?
I could benefit from all
these. Im not sure my
friends, family or cowork-
ers would appreciate the
caffeine-deprived version
of myself, though.
There are a lot of ways
I could improve myself or
help better the world.
Ideally, whatever I do,
Ill stick with it not go
back to my old ways after
the 40-day period. Hope-
fully, by the time youre
reading this, I will have
made up my mind.

of the Upstate.
This can be depicted
through cultural happen-

places.
Please consider these
themes (Greer: Interna-

submitting artwork for the
exhibition.

THINGS
TO DO
By Sam Struckhof
NEW RELEASES
FOR WEEK OF MARCH 17
PICKS OF THE WEEK
Frozen (PG) -- In
Disneys latest animated
musical adventure, Anna
(voiced by Kristen Bell) and
her big sister Elsa (Idina
Menzel) are inseparable as
little girls. Anna is a joyous
free spirit. Elsa can magi-
cally conjure snow and ice
with her hands -- a power
she cant control during
bouts of intense emotion.
As an adult, Elsa isolates
herself atop a mountain
and shrouds the realm in
eternal winter. Anna must
go on a quest to speak
with Elsa and get her to lift
the snowy curse.
Frozen reaches the
same caliber as previous
Disney princess flicks. The
musical numbers arent as
catchy, perhaps, but they
are poignant and emo-
tional. Comic relief comes
from a snowman named
Olaf (Josh Gad), who has
big plans to frolic in the
sun.
American Hustle (R) -
- Romance, scandals, feds
and sprawling moral am-
biguity come together per-
fectly in this inspired-by-
a-true-story tale about con
artists in love. Its the late
1970s, and Irving Rosen-
feld (a barely recognizable
Christian Bale) is an en-
dearing, pot-bellied grifter
who runs a few schemes
around town. Irving and
his sly, silky lover/partner
in crime (Amy Adams) are
caught red-handed by a
try-hard FBI agent (Bradley
Cooper with a perm), and
their only way out is to
help the feds pull an even
bigger con.
Director David O. Russell
(Silver Linings Playbook)
gives the whole moral
mess an underhanded
charm. The top-notch cast
-- which includes Jenni-
fer Lawrence and Jeremy
Renner -- all seem to be on
their A-game for the whole
runtime.
Saving Mr. Banks (PG)
-- Walt Disney (Tom Hanks)
promised his daughters
that he would turn their
favorite literary charac-
ter, Mary Poppins, into the
movie of their dreams. P.L.
Travers (Emma Thomp-
son), the author who cre-
ated the magical nanny,
vowed that she would
never let her beloved char-
acter be gobbled up by
Hollywood phonies. Leave
it to Disney (and Hanks) to
launch the greatest charm
offensive the world has
ever known. Its just like
any good theme-park at-
traction: We already know
where it ends, but the ride
is worth standing in line
for.
A Touch of Sin (NR)--
In four different parts of
modern China, four differ-
ent working-class people
are pushed over the edge.
Each story is pulled from
the headlines of industri-
alized China. In separate
turns, writer/director
Zhang Ke Jia explores the
ripples of rapid change,
and how corruption pre-
cipitates violence. Crit-
ics have been uniformly
enchanted by this film --
its beautiful, violent and
thoughtful -- and it raises
more questions than it at-
tempts to answer.

FROM B6
Good God, I whis-
pered, feeling the fish
yank my rod as she
dashed hard to the right.
The tip of the 7-foot rod
doubled over as I buried
its base into my abdomen,
assuring it wouldnt fly
out of my hands.
Thats a hog, keep it
tight, Phil said as Billy
killed the motor.
Feeling the hook pull-
ing her away from the
grass, the fish jaunted
back towards the boat. I
frantically reeled in the
slack before she made
one more dive under the
vessel.
Shes gonna break me,
I said.
Not on that line, Phil
responded, coming along-
side me with the net.
I tugged her slowly back
up and we got our first
good look at her, black
back, forest green sides
and gleaming white belly.
For Gods sake, dont
let her wrap ya in the
trolling motor, Phil said,
bracing the net over his
shoulder like a harpoon.
Several seconds later,
she floated up exhausted
and Phil netted her. I
wrangled the hook out
of her mouth and, with a
Whoooooooooooo that
would have made Rick
Flair proud, held all nine
pounds of her up in the
air.
Ya did it, Phil said,
putting an arm around me
and preparing his camera.
Hows it feel?
My hand was still shak-
ing as I held the fish up
and Phil started shooting
video.
Who put you on that
fish? he asked.
My good friend Billy, I
said, smiling and nodding
towards our disheveled
captain. Hes been enter-
taining us all day, and he
just put me on the biggest
fish of my life!
Its strange how a mo-
ment can change every-
thing. For seven hours,
Id wanted to pummel the
man, but the day ended
with me getting a huge
bass and him getting a
fat tip.
Of course, that feel-
ing of elation didnt last
forever, either. As soon as
Phil and I returned to the
hotel, I told the old man
in no uncertain terms
that he, not Billy, would
be guiding us around the
lake the next morning.
FISHING: Well worth it

Its strange how a
moment can change
everything. For
seven hours, Id
wanted to pummel
the man, but the
day ended with me
getting a huge bass
and him getting a
fat tip.

THE BOLD AND
THE BEAUTIFUL
Brooke returned home
from Paris. Aly walked
in on Hope and Wyatt in
bed together. At the park,
Ridge and Katie declared
their love and shared a
dance. On the way home
from Paris, Hope con-
fided in Wyatt that she
purposely left Katie and
Ridge alone together to
figure out their feelings
for each other. At the For-
rester office, Hope con-
fronted Ridge about leav-
ing his family and Brooke
the way Bill did with Katie.
Brooke didnt believe Ka-
tie at first when she said
that she and Ridge were
in love. Ridge left the of-
fice to face the music with
Brooke. Aly eavesdropped
on Pam and Quinns con-
versation about Wyatt and
Hope. Later, Wyatt gave
Hope a massage in the
steam room. Wait to See:
Aly stands up to Quinn.
DAYS OF OUR LIVES
John delivered devastat-
ing news to Hope about Bo.
JJ was smitten with a beau-
tiful woman. Brady was not
pleased to have his father
back in town and made his
feelings abundantly clear
about it. Rafe was heart-
broken and confused over
Jordans decision. Marlena
tried to dissuade Eric from
getting involved with Ni-
cole. Hope and Aiden had
a slight thaw while work-
ing together. Jennifer was
stunned by Liams reac-
tion when she broke up
with him. Abigail was hor-
rified when she realized
that she might be preg-
nant. Eric and Nicoles at-
traction began to heat up.
John and Marlena shared a
tense reunion. Wait to See:
Marlena seeks solace in
Romans arms.
GENERAL HOSPITAL
A struggle erupted be-
tween AJ and Ava, re-
sulting in AJ being shot.
Unbeknownst to Sam
and Silas, someone was
secretly watching them
at the clinic. Luke finally
came clean and told Tracy
where he had been. Eliza-
beth informed Michael
about AJs dire condition.
Alexis and Mollys never-
ending argument about
TJ caused Molly to call Ric
with an unexpected re-
quest. Luke had a propo-
sition for Tracy. Michael
and Elizabeth kept vigil at
AJs bedside. Duke found
himself in a quandary that
could alienate him even
further from Anna when a
suspect wanted to use him
as an alibi. Alexis deferred
AJs case to Ric. Carloss
loyalty was tested. Wait to
See: Lulu dreams that Ben
is her son.
THE YOUNG AND
THE RESTLESS
Chloe said that she de-
served to be punished
for taking Connor. Jill be-
lieved that Colin was send-
ing her on a wild goose
chase. Victoria wondered
if her marriage was even
worth fighting for any-
more. Billy told Kelly that
they couldnt be friends
anymore. To assuage her
guilt, Sharon assured Nick
that Summer was still his
daughter in every sense of
the word. Avery reminded
Dylan that Nikki was fi-
nally able to confront her
past. Hilary questioned if
Neil was trying to set her
up with Devon. Lily and
Cane reluctantly agreed
to have dinner with Colin.
Anita and Chelsea blamed
each other for Connors
kidnapping. Victor prom-
ised Cane a big promo-
tion if he cleaned up the
Bonaventure mess. Wait to
See: Tensions rise between
Lily and Hilary.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
I hope you can help me
with a problem that might
get me kicked off the first
string. I get cramps in my
legs, mostly in the calves.
At first, it was laughable.
Now its not. At practices,
I can sit down and wait
for the cramp to go. Dur-
ing a game, I have to be
replaced. How do I stop
them? -- B.L.
ANSWER: I have to tell
readers that what I say
applies to exercise-associ-
ated muscle cramps and
not to the cramps that
so many older people get
when in bed. Theyre both
the same phenomenon,
an involuntary, sustained
and painful contraction of
a muscle or muscles. But
theyre not the same when
it comes to the situation
that brings them on.
The actual cause is a
matter that experts have
debated for years. A lack
of potassium, calcium or
magnesium, excessive ex-
ercise, cold weather, hot
weather and dehydration
have been cited as possi-
ble causes. None has been
proven to be the universal
cause. Muscle fatigue is
another possibility. Some
experts say that muscle
fatigue affects the mus-
cles response to spinal
cord signals that prevent
cramping.
Suggestions to forestall
cramps are many. Hydra-
tion is a reasonable ap-
proach. An hour before
a game or an exercise
session, drink a quart of
water. That gives enough
time for the water to be ab-
sorbed. During play, keep
drinking. If you are drink-
ing a lot of fluid, switch to
a sports drink to prevent
a drop in potassium and
sodium. Stretch your calf
muscles in three daily ses-
sions. Rising on the toes
is a good calf stretch. You
can try taking a vitamin
supplement that contains
most of the B vitamins.
Make sure vitamin B-6 is
included.
To uncramp a muscle,
sit on the floor with the
involved leg stretched out
in front of you. Grab the
ball of the foot, and, while
keeping the heel on the
floor, pull the foot toward
you and hold it in that
position until the cramp
eases.
Pinching the skin be-
tween the nose and the lip
is another way to break a
cramp.

bics, fitness and abdomi-

DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
I have a Pap smear every
year. I dont have a cer-
vix. My cancer doctor (I
had breast cancer) said a
Pap smear isnt necessary
for women without a cer-
vix. I still have my ovaries
and tubes and the rest of
the plumbing. Do I need a
yearly Pap smear? -- K.R.
ANSWER: If a woman
has had her uterus and
cervix removed, she does
not need to have Pap
smears unless the uterus
and cervix were removed
because of cancer. Such a
woman shouldnt cut off
all examinations with her
doctor. She could have
other pelvic problems that
require periodic examina-
tions. However, the Pap
smear part of the exami-
nation can be stopped.
***
Dr. Donohue regrets that
he is unable to answer in-
dividual letters, but he will

column whenever possible.

ters at P.O. Box 536475,
