The City of Greer is moving for-
ward with a 15-year master plan
that aims to provide more economic
growth and development, but not
without some input from the com-
munity.
Last Thursday night, Greer resi-
dents got hands-on with the project,
participating in a master plan work-
shop at the Cannon Centre with city
and planning officials.
I was involved in the master
plan that we put together 15 years
ago, Sam Floyd, a local retiree, said.
Weve seen the real value of it and
were still seeing the value of it. This
is right on track with that same pro-
cess. I think it will be extremely valu-
able. I really liked to get the input
from all the folks here.
Its very hands-on. I think thats
what you need, Floyd said.
The city has been pushing the ef-
fort for several weeks, encouraging
those in the community to go online
to plangreer.com and learn more.
Thursday night, folk took surveys,
submitted ideas to small groups and
customized maps showing how they
thought the city should look in 15
years.
This is the first time Ive been in-
volved in a process like this, but its
interesting to see what kind of plan-
ning takes place behind the scenes,
Marc Garcia, a Greer resident, said.
We generally dont see that. We just
see the fruit, or lack thereof. It really

Through the opening
of its Community Chest
Thrift Store in May, the
Middle Tyger Community
Center (MTCC) created a
new avenue to help fund
and support the centers
several programs and ser-
vices it provides the Dis-
trict Five community.
The Lyman-based non-
profit organization pro-
vides adolescent and adult
education, parenting and
family programs, along
with counseling and health
and crisis services to com-
munity members with the
assistance of volunteers,
donations, fundraising ef-
forts and grants.
The idea to open a thrift
store, located at 52 Groce
Road, Lyman, was sug-
gested by a local business
owner and, with the assis-
tance of staff members ex-
perienced in running thrift
shops, the idea was put
into action, and a thrift
store where community
members could volunteer,
donate and shop while
supporting the center was
opened.

Greer teen charged with murder
Grandmother
seriously hurt
in stabbing
A Greer teen has been
charged with murder, at-
tempted murder and pos-
session of a weapon dur-
ing a violent crime, after
police say the 16-year-old
stabbed his 60-year-old
grandfather to death and
stabbed his 62-year-old
grandmother, leaving her
seriously injured.
Greenville Coroner
Park Evans identified the
man who died as Thomas
Wilkins.
According to Greer Po-
lice, units responded to
56 River Birch Way around
3:30 a.m. on Saturday
morning in reference to
a fight call. When offi-
cers arrived, they found a
woman and a man, both of
whom had sustained seri-
ous injuries.
Officers also located the
teen, who had sustained
gunshot wounds.
Both the woman and the
teen were transported to
the Greenville Memorial
Hospital for treatment for
their injuries.
Following a preliminary
investigation, three war-
rants were served on the
teen without incident.
No further information
was available at press
time.
Envisioning the future
Budget
keeps
up with
growth
BY AMANDA IRWIN
STAFF WRITER
David Seifert, director
of finance and informa-
tion technology, reported
to Greer Council that, over
the past 10 years, while
the budget has increased
significantly from $12
million to $18 million, it
has been at a slower rate
than Greers population
growth.
During his annual re-
port, Seifert stated Greers
millage over the last de-
cade versus the popula-
tion growth indicates that,
while the population has
grown 35.43 percent, the
millage has only increased
by about 4.15 percent.
The budget has gone
from $12 million to $18
million, thats tremendous
growth in the budget, but
comparing that to the pop-
ulation growth, its about
nine percent less. So our
budget growth has grown
at a smaller rate than our
population growth, Seif-
ert said.
For the 2014-2015 fis-
cal year, the proposed
general fund budget is
$19,769,005.
For those of you that
were here back in 2001,
when we actually went
negative in our fund bal-
ance. But, through 2006,

I left the polling station
Tuesday quite disturbed,
confused and disgruntled.
Monday evening, I did
my due diligence and re-
searched the candidates
running for office-thank-
fully listed in the May 28
edition of The Greer Citi-
zen.
Upon arriving at the
polling station with my
list of choices in hand, I
discovered I had to choose
between a Democratic or a
Republican ticket. How can
this be? I do not belong to
either party and why do I
not have the right to vote
for the candidate of my
choice, regardless of their
party affiliation? How can
some law, voting policy or
some political establish-
ment summarily eliminate
half my choices, suppress/
eliminate my voice and
deny my right to vote for
a candidate who qualified
to be on the ballot? This is
constitutionally allowed?
I also thought it a given
that all voting was a pri-
vate matter. Upon having
to choose a party ticket,
I had to sign a ballot reg-
istry. All previous voters
signatures were right there
in full view and as long as
a signature was legible,
Im free to peruse which
political party my fellow
precinct voters chose. In
my view, unless they want
to tell me, its absolutely
none of my business on
which party ticket my
friends and neighbors
chose to vote. Yet there
they were, both listed right
on the table allowing any
subsequent voter to view
and judge as they leaned
over to sign-in.
So, I left the voting
booth Tuesday realizing
that I had wasted a lot
of time Monday evening
studying candidates po-
sitions trying to become
a responsible informed
voter. I also left really sur-
prised so in so voted in
that partys primary. I
also left feeling somewhat
discriminated against in
that I didnt get to exer-
cise my right to vote for a
candidate I thought would
best represent my views,
which I always assumed
was a constitutional right
to all eligible voters in the
United States.
In closing, Id like to apol-
ogize to all the candidates
I intended to vote for, but
didnt get the opportunity
and I hope my one vote
wasnt the one vote you
needed to make it into the
general election.
C.J. Radford
Greer
Greers Relay for Life in-
cludes months of planning
and hard work. I would
like to thank Gina Miller,
Julie Barnes and those on
the Relay committee for
their efforts in organizing
this important event.
As I walked the track
that night, I saw our com-
munity at its bestindi-
viduals and groups repre-
senting schools, churches
and businesses coming
together to honor and
remember all who are af-
fected by cancer.
I hope that in the future,
the demonstration of sup-
port for Relay for Life will
extend beyond the Greer
High stadium. Last year,
Hyundai of Greer gener-
ously donated Relay for
Life banners and the City
of Greer displayed them
throughout the downtown
area. It seemed that the
timing of the Relay for Life
banners worked well, as it
fell between the Greer Fam-
ily Festival and the Fourth
of July, when other ban-
ners are displayed. This
year, we were extremely
disappointed to learn that
the city planned to charge
the American Cancer Soci-
ety hundreds of dollars to
hang the banners. Natu-
rally, this money needs to
be spent helping cancer
patients, and the Relay for
Life committee made the
sensible decision not to
pursue it any further.
Relay for Life is personal
to my family, as we have
lost our parents and my
father-in-law to cancer.
They loved Greer and sup-
ported local businesses all
of their lives. They were
truly invested in this com-
munity. I suppose I saw
the banners as a tribute to
them, and to all the citizens
of Greer who bravely fight
cancer. In my opinion, the
banners are a small way
for the city to say, were
in this together, a sign of
a truly progressive com-
munity.
Relay for Life honors the
good people who were,
and are, the backbone of
our community. I hope
our city council will recon-
sider this important issue
for next year and choose
to encourage and support
Relay for Life. This deci-
sion goes beyond dollars
and cents.

The June 10 election nar-
rowed the superintendent
race, but not enough.
Sheila Gallagher and
Tom Thompson face off
on the Democratic side,
while Sally Atwater and
Molly Spearman will run
against one another again
on the Republican side.
Between now and the
June 24 runoff election,
the candidates are out
talking with voters and
making last efforts to get
their names and messages
across.
Gallagher has taught at
McClenaghan Junior, Wil-
son High, and Williams
Middle. She also served
in various roles with the
South Carolina Education
Association, including as
president. She received
her bachelors from the
then-Winthrop College in
1974. She also has three
masters degrees from the
University of South Caroli-
na, the University of North
Carolina at Greensboro
and Winthrop University.
If elected, Gallagher
wants to incorporate
good, positive discipline
and strengthen after-
school programs.
I think our top priority
is to start working on, es-
pecially our pre-K through
third grade, smaller. Get
those classes smaller. That
means were going to have
to attract more teachers.
Youre going to need to in-
crease compensation that
were paying our teachers
and were also going to
need increase the compen-
sation were paying our
educational support pro-
fessionals.
Tom Thompson taught
in the educational leader-
ship department at the
University of South Caroli-
na and served as the grad-
uate studies dean at South
Carolina State University.
He now works at Walden
University as a specializa-
tion coordinator for Ph.D.
programs in the college of
education. Thompson re-
ceived his bachelors, mas-
ters and doctorate from
the University of Illinois.
Thompsons signature
platform is expanding
early childhood education
from birth to kindergar-
ten. He also wants to re-
pair relationships between
the education department
and school districts and
their schools.
If we can get parents
and children ready for
school and the schools are
ready to receive them, we
can get them through to
graduation much easier,
he said,
Molly Spearman grew up
in Saluda County, attend-
ing public schools and
attended Lander Univer-
sity, George Washington
University and the Univer-
sity of South Carolina. She
taught music and went
on to become an assistant
principal.
Spearman also served
four terms in the South
Carolina House of Rep-
resentatives, where she
served on the education
committee, ways and
means and the K-12 sub-
committee.
Since 2004, she has
worked as the director for
the South Carolina Asso-
ciation of School Admin-
istrators, the professional
organization of district
superintendents and prin-
cipals.
If elected, Spearman
wants to get South Caro-
lina standards in place
review the common core,
rewrite that and use com-
mon sense.
I would do that by
bringing in some of the
finest teachers and school
leaders in the state to en-
sure we have the highest
standards possible. Thats
my number one priority,
she said. Along with that
is to choose a test that
will work efficiently, that
wont take so long. Weve
been testing way too
much. A test that we can
give quickly and will give
good information to par-
ents and to teachers.
Atwater worked in the
U.S. Department of Edu-
cation under the Reagan
administration and both
George H. W. Bush. George
W. Bush appointed Atwa-
ter as executive director
by George W. Bush to the
Presidents Committee for
People with Intellectual
Disabilities.
Atwater was unavailable
for an interview in time for
publication, but spokes-
man Luke Byars said she
wants to focus on school
safety and put together an
action plan with law en-
forcement.
Shes even gone as far
as to say, Weve talked
about putting a school
resource officer in every
K-12 school, but it really
hasnt happened and its
time that (we) take an-
other serious look Byars
said. For her, its a prior-
ity. Shes been in the class-
room in rural South Caro-
lina where the only safety
measure is to lock your
classroom door. Thats
just not good enough. Its
hard to concentrate on a
math test when a student
is worried about being bul-
lied in the hall or whatever
the case may be.
With so many candi-
dates in the race a dozen
between the two parties
the candidates werent
surprised with a runoff,
they said.
Multiple candidates said
theyve run into people
who dont realize there is
a runoff or that they can
vote in it.
Voters will also choose
between Mike Campbell
and Henry McMaster for
Lieutenant Governor. More
information is available at
scvotes.org.

The Greer Chamber
of Commerce is digging
through a number of ap-
plications to find and
select its new president
and CEO by the end of the
summer.
The chamber began its
search after Allen Smith
announced his departure
in May. He has since taken
a new role with the Spar-
tanburg Chamber.
The deadline for re-
sumes has just ended last
Friday, said Mark King,
chairman-elect of the
chambers board of di-
rectors. Now, the search
committee will comb
down, I dont know how
many we ended up get-
ting, but lots and lots of
resumes. Well find ones
we feel fit our criteria. Our
first search committee
meeting is next Monday.
Well set up interviews in
the following weeks and
have them in here by the
end of the summer.
King said applications
came from as far away as
Iowa and Illinois.
We feel like Allen has
put us up to the next
level, King said. We feel
like were on a level play-
ing ground with all the
areas around here, so we
want to take the lead. The
Greenville Chamber has
an ex-president from here
and Spartanburg does too,
so were going to find one
who will take us above
both of those.
Smith had been with
Greer since June of 2010.
Upon leaving his post,
Smith said Greers poten-
tial is just beginning to be
realized.
I think Greer is stron-
ger than it has ever been,
Smith said in a previous
interview. Thats one of
the things that made it so
difficult to leave. I think
weve only begun to re-
alize our potential here
in Greer. When you talk
about economic develop-
ment, when you talk about
quality of life, weve begun
a conversation about mar-
keting Greer as a destina-
tion. Theres just so much
opportunity ahead of us
here in Greer.

lowing, glowing, gone...is the term I
read online to describe the plight of
lightning bugs around the world.
Taking a moment to lean idly against
the gate to the big field, on a recent
moonless night, my heart swelled to see,
at least here on the farm, the blinking of
countless fireflies scattered throughout
the undulating hills and woods before
me, like a string of Christmas lights
tangled over the landscape.
Fireflies, at least to me, always evoke a
feeling of childhood...the eager aban-
donment of all things interior on dew
soaked summer grass beneath bare feet
as we chased and contained dozens in a
glass jar, only to see them perished by
the morning... the earliest attempts of a
life-long human habit, I suppose, to lay
claim to nature and own it, despite the
consequences.
But when one, namely this one, manag-
es to step away from a screen, whether
it be email or television, to simply stand
outside at night, it is overwhelming
the amount of life teeming about us of
which many of us are quite unaware. The
gathering storm to the south that was
already bruising the evening sky an hour
before, was now assertively approach-
ing, with a welcomed rising wind to
keep mosquitoes at bay, and behind me,
I heard the familiar, repetitive call of a
Whip-poor-will, and to the west in one of
the Pin Oaks, a Great Horned owl made
the atmosphere even more ominous.
A couple of bats careened overhead,
and a dragonfly lingered for a moment
on the water trough.
I have surely noticed fewer butterflies
this year.
It is a worrisome fact that bees are
disappearing as well. But I am heartened
to see the fireflies that are too numerous
to count all around me. We dont spray
chemicals on the farm, perhaps that is
why, and, knowing they cannot thrive
amid light pollution and urban sprawl,
we count ourselves blessed to live on a
country lane devoid of street lights in an
exceedingly rural area of the Upstate.
We weed by hand which is why every-
thing is perpetually slightly overgrown
until covered by another load of mulch,
and our front lawn, (at least thats what
we call it) is composed of clover, crab
grass, invasive wild strawberries, and
yet, when mowed, leaves an impression
of a soft, uniformed blanket of green.
I remember once touring an English
country home in Hampshire and being
told that it was customary in English
gardens, no matter how grand, to keep a
bit of it untouched and wild.
Why? I had asked, my eyes skimming
over the meadow-tall grass and Queen
Annes Lace that had been left, unmown,
in enormous, romantic, circles beneath
towering oaks.
For the fairies! came the reply.
I loved that answer and have happily
proclaimed that, during incessant spring
rains when the grass grows as quickly as
a young boys during summer holidays,
it will host a bumper crop of fairies at
twilight.
And may they have a squadron of
fireflies to light their way.

Glowing, glowing, gone
Elephant and rhino
poaching is big business
Like father,
like daughter
Read Psalm 119:169-176
T
he psalmist wrote, I have
gone astray like a lost
sheep; seek out your ser-
vant. -Psalm 119:176 (NRSV)
I dont know how Ruby does
it. Fifty-five years after she and
Ted were married, Ted is now
lost in dementia. Hopelessly
confused about what day it is
and where he is, Ted hardly
knows any of their friends
anymore. His behavior is more
and more problematic: He wan-
ders off from their home on
imaginary errands; he shouts at
Ruby, sometimes even physical-
ly struggling with her. Yet, day
in, and day out, Ruby lovingly
and patiently cares for him. She
accompanies him everywhere,
explaining his condition to
those who dont understand.
Her actions are sincere; Ruby
cherishes Ted. Ruby still sees,
hidden behind the fog of de-
mentia, the love of her life.
Isnt this how God loves
us? Sometimes our minds are
focused anywhere but on our
loving Creator. At times our
behavior is so absurd that we
cant even say afterward why
we did what we did. We wander
like lost sheep. Yet none of it
deters God; in fact, God still
cherishes us. I dont know how
God does it, but whenever I see
Ruby, I know where she gets it
from.
Thought for the day: We are
always on Gods mind.
Prayer: Dear Lord, you un-
derstand our weakness. When
we get lost, bring our minds
back to your love. Amen.
Crafting
connections
T
echnology is developing
faster than it ever has
while individuals develop
unhealthy dependencies on
computers, phones, social
media and endless amounts
of distractions accessible
one-click away and yet it
still isnt enough. Our society
has developed an unquench-
able desire for immediacy and
modernity, continually reach-
ing for the shiniest, newest
and fastest innovations. What
if what we really desire isnt
another technological advance-
ment, but rather a lost aspect
of our culture?
My great-grandmothers
raised 13 children and dedi-
cated a lot of time to making
meals from scratch and clothes
by hand with skills that had
been passed down. I still curl
up in a well-made and beautiful
quilt she hand-stitched years
before I was born. She sacri-
ficed without considering it a
sacrifice with what must have
been immeasurable patience to
complete these time-consuming
tasks because she cared.
Our obsession with technol-
ogy and need for immediacy
have resulted in loss of con-
nection with the surrounding
world. Social neuropsychology
studies have shown that hu-
mans need for social connec-
tion is so essential it super-
sedes our need for food or
shelter and has a direct effect
on the happiness of introverts
and extroverts alike.
I can barely cook and when
I do its completed as conve-
niently and quickly as possible,
and reattaching a button is
about the extent of my sewing
skills. I have few real-life skills
simply because I wasnt raised
in a time when they were as
highly valued. I doubt I would
use these skills often if I pos-
sessed them, but lessons such
as patience, appreciation and a
desire to strive for perfection
are ideals that were lost on
me as a child because I wasnt
taught craftsmanship and the
appreciation resulting from it.
Older generations appreci-
ated craftsmanship, but the
integrity and connections they
upheld hasnt are slowly being
restored. Despite many crafts
and skills petering out with the
older generations, the reemer-
gence of locally based business-
es developing local craft brews,
foods for regionally-based
recipes and various handcraft-
ed products is evident with
the developing ecological and
biological awareness.
Joy the elephant died last week at the age of
44.
The animal had been at the Greenville Zoo
since 1977, but passed away while in transport
to a zoo in Colorado Springs that specializes
in handling older elephants. A new federal law
requires that zoos must keep the giant beasts,
which are very social in nature, in an exhibit
with at least two other elephants. Joy had been
on her own since her exhibit mate, Ladybird,
died last March at the same age.
Despite her sad end, the beloved elephant
died a lot more peacefully than many of her Af-
rican brothers and sisters.
Satao, one of the worlds most famous and
adored elephants, was slaughtered while roam-
ing the fields of Tsavo earlier this year. Poachers
shot the 45-year-old animal with a poisoned ar-
row and then sawed off his tusks. Those tusks,
which were so unusually long they touched the
ground on occasion, which proved a blessing
and a curse for Satao, attracting heavy atten-
tion and protection from Kenyas government
but also making him a glaring target for ivory
poachers.
Sadly, these wildlife killings have long been
commonplace in Africa, fueled by the insatiable
international demand for ivory. Unsurprising-
ly, most of the demand is coming from China
the same country whose exquisite tastes in-
clude shark fin soup and using rhino horns for
medicinal purposes. In 2012, the NY Times
estimated about 70 percent of all ivory exports
were bound for China.
You may have heard a lot about African blood
diamonds, but the securing of blood ivory is a
far more prevalent problem today. Poachers kill
roughly two game rangers per week and 30,000
elephants per year in their hunt for ivory, which
some believe to be a $20 billion-per-year indus-
try. And, the cost has been high in lives as well.
In 1979, there were some 1.3 million elephants
in Africa. Today most estimate there are less
than half a million remaining.
The 62 percent decrease is right on par with
the shark decimation of the last four decades.
Some estimate as many as 100 million sharks
are killed each year, most of them for their fins,
which are considered a delicacy in Asia.
But the type of slaughter most similar to el-
ephant poaching is rhinoceros poaching, partic-
ularly on the black rhino. In the late 60s, there
were an estimated 70,000 black rhinos in Africa.
Today, there are less than 4,000. Like elephant
tusks, it all comes down to Asian demand. Many
Chinese and Vietnamese people believe the rhi-
nos horns (made purely of Keratin) have almost
magical medicinal properties, including curing
impotence, reviving comatose patients and low-
ering fevers.
Ground up and sold in powdered form, rhi-
no horns are more expensive than cocaine. A
single horn weighs about 22 pounds and can
fetch $200,000. That kind of money, combined
with the criminal element of illegal importation,
makes elephant and rhino poaching big busi-
ness. Even worse, the money made from the
illicit industry is often used to fund terrorist
groups. The terrorist group responsible for last
years Westgate shopping center massacre in
Nairobi is believed to be behind the resurgence
in elephant poaching.
With the situation in Iraq degenerating into
chaos, perhaps our troops could better be used
in Africa, which simply doesnt have the money
or resources to protect its animals and rangers
from poachers. Two weeks ago, British soldiers
were deployed to Kenya for that very reason.
Its time we sent some of our own to join them.
I have surely noticed fewer
butterflies this year. It is a
worrisome fact that bees are
disappearing as well. But I am
heartened to see the fireflies
that are too numerous to count
all around me.
Sometimes our minds
are focused anywhere
but on our loving
Creator.
Youve heard a lot about African
blood diamonds, but the securing of
blood ivory is a far more prevalent
problem today.

Beginning Monday, a
Nurse Aide Training Pro-
gram (NATP) will be of-
fered for people seeking to
become certified nursing
assistants (CNAs) by a new
Greer business, Training
for Long-term Care (TLC),
located at 110 W. Church
St., suite B, Greer.
Its a nurses aid training
program thats licensed
through the statetrain-
ees are eligible once they
successfully complete the
program theyre eligible
to take the state exam,
said Penny Fry, business
office manager.
Nakehya Stanton, a
registered nurse, began
TLC, which is licensed by
the S.C. Commission on
Higher Education. Stanton
graduated with an associ-
ate degree in nursing from
the University of South
Carolina in 2005 and has
worked in wound, neuro
and geriatric care.
Shes been a nurse since
2005, a licensed RN with
South Carolina, Fry said.
She finished her licensed
degree program at USC
Upstate and shes been in
long-term care since that
time. And prior to that
time, she started out as a
CNA years ago before she
entered the nursing pro-
gram.
She had difficulty as an
administrator over a long-
term care facility keeping
CNAs, and theres such a
huge demand for CNAs.
Theres such a constant
turnover, a high turnover
rate in the long-term care
facilities especially be-
cause it is a difficult job
with fairly low pay com-
pared to the responsibili-
ties that they have, she
said. And so she was hop-
ing to be able to train some
girls or guys its open to
both and be able to get
them to understand better
when they are CNAs they
have a lot of difficult re-
sponsibilities to take care
of. Its a very stressful
position, but if they have
a heart for it and a heart
for the patients and
hopefully instill in them
a desire to help these
residents without feeling
over-stressed and being
very, very well trained to
be able to do their job in
a way that would take care
of the residents and all of
their needs, which vary
greatly depending on their
age and the reason that
theyre in these long-term
care facilities.
Through Stantons pro-
gram, students complete
100 hours of classes with
the first three weeks (60
hours) of the program be-
ing textbook and lab train-
ing, followed by two weeks
(40 hours) of clinical train-
ing at Valley Falls Terrace
Nursing in Spartanburg.
Classes begin on June
23 and conclude on July
25, with morning classes
8 a.m. noon, and after-
noon class sessions 1 5
p.m. The cost is $825 per
student, which includes
tuition, curriculum and a
SLED background check
and class sessions are of-
fered every five weeks.
Enrollment is limited, with
up to eight seats available
per session.

gram, visit trainingforsna.

from 3-4:30 p.m.
Fields will discuss the
role of business in com-
munity development.
He will also speak at
the Rotary District 7750
awards and installation
banquet at the Cannon
Centre, beginning with
a reception at 5:30 p.m.
Thursday.
The public is welcome to
attend both events.
The cost of the Banquet
is $40 and the cost of the

Fields presently serves
as the Executive Director
of the Palmetto Institute,
an independent, non-
profit research foundation
chaired by Darla Moore.
In addition to his role
with the Palmetto Insti-
tute, Fields also serves
as executive director of
the Lake City Partner-
ship Council, a non-profit
foundation charged with
transforming Lake City, a
poor, rural town, into an
economically-vibrant com-
munity.
Fields began his work
as counsel to the South
Carolina Senate Judiciary
Committee under the
leadership of Senator L.
Marion Gressette, and he
later served as Clerk of
the South Carolina Sen-
ate. During his tenure in
the Senate, he worked on
such issues as rewriting
substantial portions of the
South Carolina constitu-
tion, reapportionment of
the Senate, including liti-
gation twice to the United
States Supreme Court,
home rule and major re-
vamping of the tax struc-
ture for South Carolina.
Fields also worked on
several committees with
the National Conference
of State Legislatures and
the National Clerks Asso-
ciation.
Upon leaving the Senate
after ten years in 1984,
Fields joined the McNair
Law Firm, P.A., where he
continues to serve as man-
ager of the Governmental
Affairs Section.
Where are
you in your
financial
plan?
Q: What things do you
advise buying used versus
buying brand new?
DR: Im afraid theres
not one good, across the
board answer, because it
all depends on where you
are in your financial plan.
When it comes to cars,
you should always buy
good, used vehicles, unless
you have a million dollars
or more in the bank. New
automobiles drop in value
like a rock, so buy smart
and let someone else take
the hit in depreciation.
You dont become wealthy
by investing in things that
go the wrong way.
If youre talking about
clothing, and youre broke
or trying to get out of
debt, theres absolutely
nothing wrong with shop-
ping consignment stores
especially for kids.
They wear things three
times, and then theyve
outgrown them. Experi-
enced clothing is a great
buy for adults, too.
Of course there are other
things, but heres the deal.
As your money situation
improves, youll be able to
buy more new things. The
price of new will become
a smaller and smaller per-
centage of your financial
world.
But when youre broke,
deep in debt or dont have
a big income, the money
you spend on anything
is a big percentage. At
times like this, a decent
$50 washer or dryer in the
classifieds can be the best
deal on the planet!

The powerful reach of
social media was evident
Thursday, June 12, when
Greer Community Minis-
tries staff members de-
livered 163 cards to Helen
Burrell of Greer on her
100th birthday.
A Meals on Wheels cli-
ent, Burrell mentioned
her 100th birthday to one
of the Meals on Wheels
(MOW) volunteer drivers
the previous week. She said
that all she wanted for her
birthday was 100 birthday
cards. She commented
that she had outlived most
of her friends and that she
did not expect to have her
wish granted.
The driver relayed
the message to Wendy
Campbell, MOW coordi-
nator, and she asked that
Burrells wish be made
known through Facebook
and Twitter. The campaign
began on Friday, June 6,
and by Wednesday of the
next week, GCM had 163
cards from community
and social media friends
for Burrells birthday cel-
ebration. Cards were re-
ceived from as far away as
California and Illinois.
Once again, we see the
impact of the Meals on
Wheels program, said
Cindy Simpler, executive
director. From the driver
to GCM, from GCM to the
community, from the com-
munity to Helen--we work
to take care of each other.
We are so thankful to have
volunteers who are com-
mitted to helping beyond
simply delivering a meal
and to be part of caring
and responsive commu-
nity. Together we provide
for neighbors in need. So-
cial media provides the ve-
hicle for instant communi-
cation, enabling quick and
effective response. And
this isnt Star Wars; its
just Greer. But the force-
-the volunteer force--is
with us.
Bi-Lo at Collins Corner
donated flowers and a
birthday balloon to be de-
livered along with the meal
and the cards to Burrell on
her birthday.
Burrell said that she was
blessed to have made it
to 100 years and she was
looking forward to greet-
ing friends and family
during a drop-in party to
honor her later that day.
Burrell is one of 319
MOW clients currently
being served Monday
through Friday by Greer
Community Ministries. For

grams provided by GCM,

FROM PAGE ONE
We started thinking,
wow we could use this
to actually bring in some
money to support the pro-
grams and it would be a
great place for volunteers
to come and work, said
Executive Director Andrea
Moore.
So the idea was that it
would be a great way to
use donations to bring
in some revenue to help
support the programs,
to use volunteers and to
have a way for people to
keep their donations lo-
cal, she said. Because
people know when they
bring something into
here, every dime we make
from selling it is going to
go straight back into this
community.
The thrift store does not
resemble the average sec-
ondhand store, but rather
a boutique, and with sev-
eral displays donated by
J. C. Penny, the goal was
more easily accomplished.
I think one of the things
people have been really
pleasantly surprised by
is how nice it is, Moore
said. We want things to be
very, very inexpensive, but
we wanted people to come
in and feel like they were
shopping in a boutique,
as opposed to some place
kind of junky or dingy.
We wanted it to be a nice,
bright place for ladies to
come and shop.
People have bought
things and been very
complimentary about
how weve setup and the
color coding system. So
weve had a lot of good re-
sponse, said Coordinator
Lyn Turner.
One hundred percent
of the proceeds raised
through the store sup-
ports District Five Family
Ministries. Womens cloth-
ing, jewelry, shoes, purses,
scarves, belts, home dcor,
glassware, books, blankets
and chinaware are the
types of items that can
be found in the store for
around $2 - $8, depending
on the color code marked
on the item.
In addition to support-
ing the MTCC and offering
higher-end low-cost cloth-
ing, the store also creates
a place for women who
utilize the centers servic-
es to purchase affordable
interview and work attire.
The other thing that
were excited about is the
opportunity this creates
for us. Say, for example, we
have a GED student who is
just completing a GED and
she needs an interview
outfit or shes gotten a job
and needs clothes to wear,
(or) we have somebody
whos coming in from Dis-
trict Five Family Ministries
whos trying to get back
on their feet and needs
clothes for job interviews,
to be able to get them
a voucher that they can
come over here and actu-
ally shop for something,
Moore said.
The store is open Thurs-
day and Friday 10 a.m. 6
p.m., and Saturday 10 a.m.
2 p.m. Hours may extend
if volunteers are available
and a need arises.
Donations being accept-
ed are gently used ladies
clothing, accessories and
home dcor items, which
can be dropped off at the
MTCC, located at 84 Groce
Road, Lyman, or to setup
larger donations contact
Lyn Turner at 439-7760.
Donations accepted for
the store are limited to
womens clothing due to
the lack of space for chil-
drens clothing.
We felt like we needed
to pick something to fo-
cus on, that we wouldnt
have space to do every-
thing, Moore said. And
childrens (clothing) that
would take the whole
space unless you did like
one very small age group.
We didnt think that our
customers were as likely
to be men, as (they were)
likely to be women. And so
we thought that by doing
ladies clothing it would al-
low us to start with some-
thing that we felt like we
knew what we were doing
(and) had a little experi-
ence withWe always
kind of got the thought
if the community really
supports this and wants
it to grow we could always
expand into childrens in
another open space in the
strip or something, but it
seemed like a good start-
ing point.
The purse sale MTCC
regularly holds will be
integrated into the store
allowing items to continu-
ally be available. When
prom season approaches,
dresses will be sold out
of the store as well. Pres-
ently, the store is open
under a six-month trial ba-
sis. If community support
is apparent the store will
remain operational.
MTCC is taking in dona-
tions for school supplies,
which will be distributed
in August. The center in-
tends to open a health
center one and half days
a week to offer free health
services to individuals
who are uninsured or on

we had a fund balance
increase (and) had a little
bit of a decline in 2007.
(In) 2008 (it) stayed stable,
of course thats when we
entered the recession and
dropped to a low point in
2010 again. But, since that
time (we) had a steady
increase (in Greers fund
balance), and we currently
have a fund balance cover-
age of 28.66 percent.
Greers operating bud-
get is 18.7 percent of the
assessed value of city
limit properties. In com-
parison with other cities
Mauldin, Greenville,
Simpsonville, and Spartan-
burg Greer falls right
in the middle, with Spar-
tanburgs higher percent-
age of 24.9 and Mauldins
lower percentage of 13.6,
however Mauldin is part of
a special purpose district
that helps fund Mauldins
budget.
Council unanimously
passed the budget ordi-
nance for the 2014-2015
year following a prepared
statement from council-
man Jay Arrowood.
By looking at our finan-
cial position today project-
ing out a short two, three
years, its easy for one to
forecast the City of Greer
will be financially stronger
than ever in its history.
Having come out of the
worst economic downturn
since the 30s speaks vol-
umes about the decision-
making used to guide our
city, Arrowood said. As
we move into what is still
a very uncertain economic
future, we must continue
to manage in a way that
brought us here today. In
our micro-economy that
we call Greer or the Up-
state of South Carolina,
its incorrect to think that
the rest of the region of
the southeast of the coun-
try is doing as well as we.
Following a texting ban
signed into law by Gov.
Nikki Haley on June 9, City
Administrator Ed Driggers
advised council an ordi-
nance to repeal the citys
ban is being drafted be-
cause the state law super-
sedes it.
Several boards and com-
missions seats are up for
appointment or reappoint-
ment. Miles Nasons term
on the Greenville Spar-
tanburg International Air-
port Environs Planning
Commission expires on
June 30. Linda Wood and
Marney Hannons terms on
the Board of Architectural
Review expire on June 30.
Three terms expire on
June 30 for the Board of
Zoning Appeals, including
Loan Nelsons, District 1,
Thomas McAbees, District
3, and Kevin Tumblins,
District 6. Two Planning
Commission seats re-
signed by Chris Harris and
Clay Jones will also need
to be appointed.
The next regularly
scheduled Greer Council
meeting is June 24 at 6:30
p.m. at Greer City Hall.

is kind of an honor to be
here and just see the pro-
cess of what is going to be
happening in Greer.
City Administrator Ed
Driggers said the city is
simply looking for ideas
to brainstorm.
There are no wrong
answers in this process,
Driggers said. We will
continue to gather infor-
mation and, over the next
year, we will continue to
work on this community
master plan. In about 11
months, well bring that
master plan forward to
share with the commu-
nity.
The city has seen success
in this kind of process.
Since the late 1990s,
Partnership for Tomorrow
has been instrumental in
making sure were look-
ing toward the long-term
viability, growth and sus-
tainability for us as a com-
munity, Driggers said.
Weve been involved for
many, many months now
as we are working to con-
tinue this process.
Our goal is not to start
from scratch, said Eric
Bosman, an urban design-
er and planner with Kim-
ley-Horn and Associates,
which is working with the
City of Greer on the proj-
ect. We want to use all the
great work done over the
last 15 years to help take
Greer to the next level.
Bosman said taking ideas
from the community is the
first step in the process.
We havent put pen
to paper yet because we
thought it was most im-
portant to get out in the
community and hear from
you, Bosman said. We
want to know what your
vision for the future is.
This isnt going to be Kim-
ley-Horns plan for the fu-
ture. Its not going to be
Ed Driggers plan for the
future. This is going to be
the City of Greers plan for
where we want to be 15
years from now.
According to figures
presented by Kimley-Horn,
Greers population will
grow 45 percent, increas-
ing to 116,231 people, by
2040. Job growth will in-
crease by 32 percent, Bos-
man said.
Since the first master
plan, Greer has grown by
8,300 residents.
In my personal opinion,
I think acknowledging our
adversity as a community
has to be a focus, Garcia
said. There is a diverse
community here that con-
tinues to grow. I think that
has to be taken into ac-
count. Aside from that, I
think we all agreed at our
table that economic vital-
ity is really important for
us to continue to grow and
be Greer.

The Greenville County
Sheriffs Office is speaking
with a person of interest
after finding a deceased
man in a wooded area near
Lincoln Road and Hawkins
Drive.
According to a press
release from the sheriffs
office, they received a 911
call at 3:45 p.m. on Mon-
day in which the caller re-
ported hearing glass break,
and then observed a male
subject being chased by
another male subject who
had a knife.
The caller told police the
two men ran into a nearby
wooded area, and soon
afterward, only one man
emerged from the woods.
Deputies responded to
the wooded area and lo-
cated a dead male subject.
Anyone who may have in-
formation regarding this
incident is asked to call
Crime Stoppers at 23-

GREER TEEN DIES AFTER
CRASH ON BUSINESS 85
FROM FOX CAROLINA
NEWS PARTNER
A Greer teen died late
Saturday night from inju-
ries sustained in a wrong
way crash on Business 85

COMMISSION: storage ordinance tabled
FROM PAGE ONE
no control over traffic-
related safety concerns,
every resident that spoke
during the public hearing
stated they had concerns
about the impact the ad-
dition of the possible 200
homes would have on
Abner Creek Road, where
the communitys entrance
would be. Some residents
expressed added concerns
about effects of increased
traffic on emergency re-
sponse services, as well as
the impact rentals would
have on their home val-
ues.
I know theres going to
be traffic issues for wher-
ever development occurs,
but thats not something
for us to consider. Were
looking at: Is this an ap-
propriate use of the land?
said Brian Martin, Planning
Commission member.
While the commission
was not able to address the
traffic concerns, residents
were advised to present
the concerns to Greer
Council when they address
the commissions recom-
mendation. The Planning
Commissions only intent
is to address appropriate-
ness and potential effect
of property zoning, which
in the instance of Abner
Creek Crossing they unan-
imously passed the zoning
request for recommenda-
tion to council, indicating
the design review district
zoning was appropriate
and may even be better for
nearby residents than the
existing zoning.
I think that the request
for the design review dis-
trict being limited, spe-
cifically, to what they have
presented to us is a better
option for this communi-
ty, for the growth and de-
velopment of it, than what
could already otherwise go
into this property, Mar-
tin said. (I) was impressed
with the appearance of the
communities, and in con-
text of what could come in
there from a development
standpoint, I think this is a
good solution.
A request for Foxfield
Subdivision properties
located at Foxfield Way
and Chandler Road to be
zoned R-5, residential pa-
tio home, because it was
believed to be inappropri-
ately zoned for the char-
acteristics of the existing
community. Residents ex-
pressed no opposition and
the commission unani-
mously passed the rezon-
ing request.
An amendment for Greer
zoning ordinance defin-
ing and regulating the
use of storage containers
and storage buildings on
property inside city limits
was tabled a second time.
Several wording changes
and clarifications, as well
as review by the city attor-
ney were requested prior
to commission voting to
go forward with the ordi-
nance amendment.
The next regularly sched-
uled Planning Commission
meeting is July 21 at 6:30
p.m. at Greer City Hall.

BLAME
CANNADA
BILLY
CANNADA
World Cup
bliss
O
h soccer, why did I
ever abandon thee?
It only took a few
seconds 32 seconds to
be exact for me to pose
that question, internally,
while watching the United
States squeak by Ghana 2-
1 in the opening match of
World Cup group play.
I knew going in that
soccer is incredibly excit-
ing. I knew how much I
screamed watching Land-
on Donovan score clutch
goals in the 2010 World
Cup in South Africa.
I guess I just forgot.
Monday night, I was
reminded.
As is only appropriate
during the first match
of the world cup, I took
the game in with a group
of good friends who had
agreed to DVR the game
and start it a few minutes
late to avoid any sort of
commercial interruption.
We were treated to 90
minutes of excellent soc-
cer (most of it played by
Ghana).
Aside from Furman
grad Clint Dempseys goal
in the first 30 seconds
that sent U.S. fans into a
frenzy, it wasnt a great
showing for the red, white
and blue.
After settling down
from the excitement and
realizing we werent go-
ing to 30 more goals just
like it, it began to set in.
Ghana is good. We should
know, theyve put us out
of the last two World
Cups.
The Africans controlled
most of the match, caus-
ing midfield turnovers
and limiting the United
States to minimal shots
on goal. Just a little more
than 20 minutes into the
game, all of that hope
Americans had gained
from Dempseys magical
goal came crashing down.
Chasing a pass with
only one man to beat, star
American forward Jozy
Altidore went with an
obvious hamstring injury.
USA supporters had just
begun to accept the fact
that we werent going to
see Donovan on the big
stage again, and now this.
For the next 40-50
minutes Ghana seemed to
get every opportunity it
wanted. U.S. Goalkeeper
Tim Howard was brilliant,
along with the rest of the
American defense, stop-
ping numerous threats.
Then, it happened. What
we feared all night finally
came. A sweet pass in the
box led to Ghanas first
goal of the night. The
equalizer came with only
eight minutes remaining.
It was tough to watch.
Another loss to Ghana?
Or worsea tie?
The room I was in began
to lose hope.
Then, a fight for posses-
sion resulted in a corner
kick for the U.S., one last
chance to take the match.
I leaned over to my
friend Joel, who judging
by his disapproving tone
and the way his hand had
been firmly planted on
his forehead for the past
hour, did not think we
would capitalize on the
opportunity.
Its gonna happen,
man, I told him.
A frustrated Joel shook
his head in disagreement,
but watched intently.
Moments later Graham
Zusi delivered a beautiful
cross to John Brooks, who
netted a perfect header,
shocking the Africans in
the 86th minute.
The stadium erupted,
sports bars across the
nation erupted, the living
room I was in erupted
(quickly quieting back
down to avoid waking a
sleeping baby in the next
room).
My love for soccer had
returned with a ven-
geance.

SPORTS EDITOR
The Greer High football
team will host its annual
7-on-7 tournament this Fri-
day at Greer High School,
beginning at 9 a.m.
Head coach Will Young,
whose team began sum-
mer conditioning this
week, said the event will
provide a chance for some
extra practice time.
For us, this is more
about practice, Young
said. Well go out there and
run the stuff well actually
use in the fall. It gives our
skill kids a chance to get
ahead. Theyll be able to
show up in August know-
ing a pretty good portion
of the offense.
Young said it is also a
time to test the teams
drive.
Its fun to get out and
compete, he said. You get
out there and see a bunch
of different teams. Weve
got this one this week and
then were at Spartanburg,
and then were somewhere
after that. About every
week weve got a tourna-
ment well be in. Well get
to play all kinds of differ-
ent teams from different
places.
These tournaments
have become an institu-
tion during the summer
practice schedule, Young
said. Greer will face 7-on-
7 opponents all the way
through July.
You dont have the op-
tion of not doing 7-on-7s
anymore, he said. Its
something weve been do-
ing for about five, six or
seven years. Were prob-
ably not quite as involved
in it as some of these
schools, but we still do it
every week. Were not nec-
essarily out looking for a
7-on-7 championship, but
we want something that
will help us in the fall win
a state championship.
As for the early part
of the teams offseason,
Young said he has learned
a lot about his team that
will benefit them going
forward.
I thought we made
some pretty big gains
during spring practice,
Young said. We had some
pretty big holes to fill up
front on the defensive line.
Mario (Cusano) and Dorian
(Lindsey) on our offensive
side are our leaders there.
I feel like if we can add a
few pieces to the puzzle
over the summer on that
side, well be OK there as
well.
The kids have enjoyed
the spring practices and
the spring games and now
were looking forward to
the fall, he said.
The team will contin-
ue its conditioning and
weight lifting program
throughout the summer.
As the summer pro-
gresses, we want to im-
prove our conditioning,
Young said. Weve been
lifting weights since Janu-
ary, so thats not a new
thing, but we want to see
our conditioning progress
as the summer goes.
Other area teams will
also see 7-on-7 action this
weekend. Riverside will
travel to Easley to compete
in a tournament, while
Byrnes travels to North
Carolina State University
to play. The Rebels won
a tournament at Auburn
University two weeks ago.

A short-handed senior
legion squad came up
short last Friday against
Travelers Rest, falling in a
4-2 battle.
The Greer American Le-
gion Post 115 team picked
up a 3-0 win over Gaffney
early last week, but fell to
Spartanburg 5-2 on Tues-
day
Games against Union
and Inman were post-
poned due to rain.
Head coach Paul Kon-
towskys team went into
extra innings in the loss to
Travelers Rest.
Adam Acebedo start-
ed on the mound for us
and pitched six innings.
He pitched as good as
we could have asked for
him to pitch, Kontowsky
said. We gave up three
runs in the sixth inning
on a couple of pick-offs
we threw into centerfield.
Were hitting the ball, but
we still arent hitting very
good. We only had six hits
against TR. We left a ton of
guys on base.
Kontowsky was without
most of his starters.
A lot of what we
thought would be start-
ers have been on vaca-
tion, so they missed all
last week, he said. Since
this past Wednesday and
all last week, weve been
going with about 10 kids.
We were hoping to see a
couple of kids step up and
take some of those start-
ers spots away, and Mikey
Eurueta has been one of
them. Jordan Sizemore
has played well too.
Having had some time
to measure the field, Kon-
towsky said he knows ev-
ery game will be important
from here on out.
Weve lost three region
games already, he said.
Spartanburg and Inman
are the teams to beat right
now. Spartanburg, I know
once we get our whole
team back, I feel fairly con-
fident we can beat them.

Byrnes wide out Tavin
Richardson has plenty of
potential. Just ask any of
the 21 college coaches re-
cruiting him.
Richardson has seen the
offers flood
in heading
into his final
season as a
Rebel, but
last week,
he narrowed
the field.
Ive got
21 offers
right now, Richardson
said. I narrowed it down
to my top eight last week:
Louisville; Kentucky; Cen-
tral Florida; Florida; Wake
Forest; Nebraska; Virginia
and Virginia Tech.
With so many NCAA Di-
vision I looks coming his
way, Richardson said it
has become more about
relationships.
Ive got a good relation-
ships with those coaching
staffs, Richardson said.
All of them told me that
I will have a chance to
play early because most of
them have seniors that will
be leaving. The facilities
were also really nice. They
are all kind of equal.
Byrnes coach Brian Lane
said any team is going to
be lucky to have him.
Hes got great ball skills.
Hes a very athletic kid,
Lane said. Hes a smart
kid with a very high foot-
ball IQ. Whatever school
he decides to go to is defi-
nitely going to get a great
athlete.
He has a lot of those
intangible things like work
ethic. It doesnt hurt him
being 64 or 65, but he
puts in the extra time as
well. Tavin is going to be a
positive for whatever team
picks him up.
Richardson said the idea
of continuing his career at
the next level is exciting.
Its amazing because
you watch ESPN and you
see all these other guys
in college, and its just
a dream to play college
football and maybe have a
chance to play in the NFL,
he said.
As for now, the rising
senior has been working
to combine football and
basketball workouts over
the summer.
Right now were trying
to get better mentally and
physically, Richardson
said. We just have to keep
working hard.
Getting better requires
putting in the extra time.
We run a lot of 7-on-
7 tournaments, but be-
sides that, Ill go out on
weekends and run or run
routes, he said. I work
a lot with our receiving
coach.
Although the team that
played in the Upper State
final last year has lost
a few seniors, Richard-
son said they will still be
strong.
On the offensive side,
half of our offensive line
were seniors, so were go-
ing to need guys to step
up, he said. (Quarter-
back) Micah (Young) can
provide the same things
Shuler (Bentley) provided,
but he can add an extra
dimension with his ability
to run.
Lane said his top pros-
pect should expect a dou-
ble-team every game.
Im expecting him to
get double-teamed, Lane
said with a smile. I know
he will do what he does.
When the ball is in the air,
he goes after it. Its just go-
ing to be a situation where,
if you double-team him, he
might now see that many
balls, but if they dont,
hes going to see balls. I
think Tavin understands
that.
Lane said Richardsons
success could translate
into more college opportu-
nities for student-athletes
at Byrnes in the future.
When you get guys like
that in the program it helps
the other kids because,
now, theyre able to come
in and see the younger
kids that you might have,
he said. When Division I
schools come down, they
might not see a young 9th
or 10th grader that we
might have if it wasnt for
Tavin or others like him.

Dorian Lindsey is spend-
ing time on both sides of
the ball this summer for
the Yellow Jackets.
The dynamic wide re-
ceiver can play a variety
of positions, and his team
will be expecting a lot from
him in the fall.
Hes going to mean a
lot, Greer football coach
Will Young said. Obvious-
ly, we lose Quez Nesbitt so
youve got to figure thats
2,400 yards that weve got
to account for somewhere.
Well use Dorian in multi-
ple places on the field, not
just at wide receiver. We
just have to find ways to
get him the ball.
Lindsey said replacing
key seniors has not been
the easiest process.
Its hard filling in the
gaps, he said. We had a
lot of seniors. Our whole
defensive line was se-
niors. We lost a lot, but we
brought everybody togeth-
er and were getting bigger
and faster. Were just go-
ing to keep working, play-
ing hard and moving on.
Weve got to pick up and
get to work in the weight
room.
The loss of production
in the running game will
require Lindsey to step it
up even more.
We gave it to (Quez)
most of the time, but we
lost him so weve got to
depend more on the pass-
ing game, Lindsey said.
Weve got a good run-
ning back coming up that
can still do some damage.
That will open things up
to pass.
The wide receiver will
spend some time under
center as well.
Right now theyve got
me playing corner. Ive
never played it before so
its definitely a new expe-
rience, he said. Ill also
play wildcat quarterback
and wide receiver. Ill kind
of just be all over the
field.
Young said the offense
is going to try to mix a few
things up between now
and the fall.
It will be something we
use a good bit of, the head
coach said of the wildcat.
He does a pretty good job
at quarterback and throws
the ball fairly well. He ac-
tually was competing for
the quarterback job before
we were able to get Mario
out there and keep them
both on the field.
Learning both sides of
the ball has not been too
much of a challenge for
Lindsey.
Since I was a freshman,
I started at wide receiver,
but I also played a little
safety, so I know the for-
mations, Lindsey said.
Its all about just learning
and paying attention in
practice. You have to pick
up your role and keep go-
ing.
Even during summer
workouts, Greer is already
beginning to discuss team
goals.
Every year our goal is
to win state, Lindsey said.
We almost made it last
year.
The Jackets, who fin-
ished last season 10-3,
suffered a third round
playoff loss to Daniel last
year. Lindsey said this
team is using that as mo-
tivation.
Daniel punished us,
Lindsey said. We were
getting pounded and, after
the half, you could kind of
tell that we werent getting
pumped up. Next time we
play a team like that we
have to stay motivated.
We cant look at the score,
weve got to just keep
playing ball.

It was a soggy week for
the Greer American Legion
Post 115 junior team.
After a 9-1 blowout win
over Belton last Monday,
the team saw rain damp-
en the mood on the en-
tire week. Games against
Union and Spartanburg
had to be postponed.
Rain was not a problem
on Monday, however.
Colt Leopard threw six
innings for us and only
gave up one run, Post
115 coach Nate Ramsey
said. We brought in Bran-
don Wortkoetter to finish
it out. We had a five run
sixth inning that kind of
put it away. It was just one
of those games where we
were able to let all of our
guys play.
Ramsey said the extra
time off has thrown a
monkey wrench into this
weeks schedule.
Our schedule has
changed this week, as of
right now, Ramsey said.
Were home Wednesday
night with Gaffney and
Thursday were at Green-
ville. Saturday were ei-
ther going to play a dou-
ble header with Union at
home or were going to go
to Greenwood for a double
header.
The team potentially
faces a five-game stint this
week.
We havent really had
to play (that many games
in a week) yet, Ramsey
said. We just cant make
any mental errors. Thats
going to be the biggest
thing because theres go-
ing to be some physical
stress. Its going to be very
important for us not to let
any mental miscues get in
the way.
Right now, every game is
crucial as the junior legion
team battles for postsea-
son position.
This is our season this
week, Ramsey said. I
think Inman is 8-0 in the
region, so theyve pret-
ty much got first place
locked up. There are three
other teams vying for two
spots. Were going to learn
a lot this week.
Ramsey said he is wor-
ried rust might start to
creep in after having a
week off.
Were playing well, he
said. You just hope that
six days off doesnt take
you a step back. Were on
a good track so well see.
Post 115 is 5-5 overall
with a 4-3 record in the
region.
All these games are
going to mean a little bit
more than they did two
weeks ago, as far as where
we need to be playoff
wise, Ramsey said. If we
eliminate mental errors,
weve got a chance to beat
anybody. If were solid
mentally well be solid in
the win and loss column.

It has not been an ideal
start to the SAIL (Swim
Association Invitational
League) swimming league
for Sugar Creek athletes.
The team, which boasts
more than 200 swimmers,
has faced a bit of adversity
early on.
This year has been real-
ly tough, said Sugar Creek
coach Gretchen Lentz.
With the weather, on top
of the fact that we have a
new timing system were
trying to incorporate, it
has been a hard transition.
We havent even gotten
a full meet in. Its been a
tough season.
Despite less time in
competition, Lentz said
she has a strong returning
team.
We have the same re-
turning swimmers, which
have done a great job,
Lentz said. We do have a
lot of new families, which
is good to see and is al-
ways exciting for a com-
munity pool. We have sev-
eral families that definitely
bring a wealth of talent to
Sugar Creek.
Dual meets are each
Thursday, leading up to
divisional races in July.
These dual meets are
basically practice [for di-
visionals], but right now
were stuck in such a bind
with this system and the
weather and nobody has
times for anything. It really
will be kind of interesting
when it comes to division-
als, if we dont have times
for these kids, how thats
going to play out.
Lentz said she knows
she will see some stiff
competition from other
area teams this summer.
Our biggest competi-
tion is always Gower,
Lentz said. Honestly,
a lot of it has to do with
their size. Were really the
only two that can combat,
but I hear this year Green-
ville Country Club is quite
large. Usually its between
us and Gower.
With a new timing sys-
tem and short races, Lentz
said she is trying to stress
the basics to her team.
These kids are only
swimming 50s, 100s and
25s, so your starts and
your finishes are prob-
ably the most important
aspects of a race, she
said. You definitely want
to work on mechanics,
but the season is so short,
you dont really have time
to get a whole lot of tech-
nique. Basically, youve got
to get their endurance up
and ready to race.

Greer will rely heavily this season on Dorian Lindsey, a dynamic wide receiver who will
see some time at quarterback this fall for the Yellow Jackets.

BY SCOTT HELD
FOR THE GREER CITIZEN
At long last, Jimmie
Johnson knows what it
feels like to visit victory
lane at Michigan Interna-
tional Speedway.
The six-time NASCAR
Sprint Cup series champi-
on took the lead for good
on Lap 191 after a cycle of
pit stops and cruised to
the checkered flag at Sun-
days Quicken Loans 400
to end a 24-race drought
here.
Weve figured out ev-
ery way to lose this race
and today we were able to
get it done, he said after
getting out of his No. 48
Chevy.
Johnson had encoun-
tered heartbreak several
times when leading late
here and admitted he was
nervous as he dashed
through the final few laps.
About 200 yards before
the finish line I knew if the
car exploded Id still make
it across the line, he said
with a chuckle, so thats
when I finally relaxed.
Johnson pitted on Lap
165 and took on four tires
and enough fuel to finish
the race, which was green
the rest of the way. Anyone
close to him pitted later
and left Johnson comfort-
ably ahead as Hendrick
Motorsports captured its
fifth straight Sprint Cup
series race.
We were really in a
win-win situation, said
Johnson, who led 39 laps
and jumped to second
in the Sprint Cup points
standings behind Gordon.
Those guys had to come
to pit road to make it to
the end.
Once the strategy un-
folded, we knew we were
in the catbirds seat.
Crew chief Chad Knaus
said the team had an extra
ace in the hole.
We knew there was go-
ing to be some opportuni-
ties to play some strategy
today, he said. We were
fortunate to have a fast
racecar and hit the strat-
egy correct.
The car was the same
the team used to win
Johnsons first race of the
season at Charlotte.
Pole sitter Kevin Har-
vick, who led a race-best
63 laps, was second, fol-
lowed by Brad Keselowski,
Paul Menard and Kasey
Kahne.
Johnsons win capped a
stellar day for HMS, which
saw all four Chevys in the
top seven thanks to Kahne
and Jeff Gordon and Dale
Earnhardt Jr., who were
sixth and seventh.
Johnson became the se-
ries first three-time win-
ner and picked up his 69th
career Sprint Cup victory.
Hes finished first in three
of the series last four
races and jumped to from
fourth to second in the se-
ries points standings, 15
points behind Gordon.
Harvick was especially
fast on restarts during the
first 150 laps of the race
but got caught in a series
of green-flag stops that
dropped him to second.
He did little to hide his
frustration.
The car was fast, just
wound up on the wrong
side of the strategy, he
said.
Harvick had the fastest
car on the track for most
of practice and set a new
track record to earn the
pole.
The pit strategy chess
game forced several other
contenders farther back in
the field, including Joey
Logano, who led the field
for 15 laps before being
passed by Harvick on Lap
141.
The race wasnt quite a
lap old when Brian Vickers
brushed the Turn 4 wall,
then spun before collect-
ing Travis Kvapil near the
entrance to pit lane. Rook-
ie Kyle Larson and Mar-
tin Truex Jr. brought out
another caution on Lap 6
when they made contact
near Turn 2.
Casey Mears and Brett
Moffitt tangled in Turn 4
on Lap 115 and Aric Almi-
rola and Denny Hamlin
spun in the same place
on Lap 122 to bring out
another caution. The race
was yellow-flagged eight
times for 36 laps.

FROM B1
the thing I will take away
from Eastside is the rela-
tionships with the play-
ers that Ive built there,
Robinson. I was just at a
wedding of a player who
graduated in 07 this past
weekend. Theres a lot of
great things that come
with coaching, but seeing
your players go on to the
next stage of life is really
rewarding.
Robinson said it will be
difficult leaving his play-
ers.
Its going to be hard
walking away from players
that are extended family,
Robinson said. This is a
great group of girls and it
was very, very difficult to
say goodbye to them.
In addition to success
on the field, Robinson
was named Region Coach
of the Year in 2003, 2004,
2005, 2007, 2008 and
2010 and was selected the
SCHSCA State Coach of the
year in 2007 and 2012. He
was also chosen in 2007
by the National Federation
of State High School Asso-
ciation Coach of the Year.
Robinson said he hopes
the success he has had in
high school will translate
to the college level.
You certainly try to
come up with formulas
you think are going to
work for you, he said.
You dont want to go in
assuming anything, espe-
cially at the college level,
because the competition
is so tough and recruiting
is such a valuable aspect
of what you do. Its some-
thing that Im looking for-
ward to.
The new North Green-
ville coach said he will be
doing a lot of preparation
work in the days to come
to get ready to work with
his team.
I know a little bit about
them, Robinson said. I
dont know a lot. I know
there are some Greenville
players in there from Wade
Hampton, but Im still do-
ing my research.
LEGION:
Adds Williams
FROM B1
Inmans got a pretty solid
team. Theyre going to be
tough.
Starting Monday, the full
roster was set to be back
in action.
It will be nice to have
everybody there so we
can at least have people
in the right positions,
Kontowsky said. We can
finally get our batting or-
der right.
The stability comes dur-
ing a week where the team
faces rematches with Gaff-
ney and Travelers Rest.
Were at Travelers Rest
on Wednesday and were
at Gaffney on Friday, he
said. Weve played ev-
erybody now. Were 1-1
against Travelers Rest
now. Weve only played
Gaffney once, but it was
a close game. Now that
weve got everybody back,
hopefully well get some
more offense.
Post 115 recently added
Blue Ridges Alex Williams,
who Kontowsky believes
will provide a much-need-
ed spark.
Weve added Alex Wil-
liams from Blue Ridge,
who is going to SMC, Kon-
towsky said. He was one
we were trying to get at the
beginning of the year. He
wasnt sure if he was going
to play with the Diamond
Devils or with us, but he
called last week asking if
he could play. We had two
spots open for a couple of
kids, hoping he would be
one of them. Hes going to
lead off and play third for
us.

CHANDLER TO COACH
AT NORTH GREENVILLE
North Greenville wom-
ens basketball coach
Jayne Arledge has added
former Baylor University
forward Mariah Chandler
to her staff. Chandler will
assume the graduate assis-
tant position for the team,
beginning this season.
We feel very blessed to
be adding Mariah to our
staff and team at NGU.
She has been a champion
playing at the highest col-
legiate level, and we look
forward to the things she
can bring to our program
here. Shes a very intelli-
gent young lady that also
is in sync with our Univer-
sity and Womens Basket-
ball programs standards,
said Arledge.
While playing for the
Lady Bears, Chandler and
was part of Baylors 2012
national championship
team, which completed
a perfect season at 40-
0. During her career, the
Lady Bears also won four
consecutive Big 12 Confer-
ence Championships as
well as four consecutive
Conference Tournament
Championships.
Im excited for this op-
portunity and new expe-
rience, Chandler said.
Its a great chance for me
to learn new and better
things about the game of
basketball but most im-
portantly about myself.

The
mountain
of moving
A
fter what feels like
100 years, we are
finally scheduled to
close on our house this
week. This process has
taken forever. We even
had to file an extension.
Im still not clear why, but
thats a story for another
day.
At this rate, we will be
all moved in another 50 to
75 years. Thats a rough
estimate, of course. Im a
writer, not a mathemati-
cian.
I really, really hate
everything about moving.
Packing. Going through
everything you own.
Cleaning. Trying to Tetris
everything into a car. The
actual moving.
I love my tiny car most
of the time its great for
gas and I can parallel park
it like its my job, but Kia
Rios arent exactly moving
vans.
Shopping for and
buying a house was fun;
packing up our increas-
ingly cluttered apartment
will be torture. It seems
like our belongings have
multiplied in the recent
months.
I dont know how, but
stuff is just everywhere.
Everywhere.
Dale and I both started
back to school in early
June, so that means
textbooks and notes all
over the place. And of
course, all this means we
have less time to organize
things and otherwise keep
the apartment in order.
Weve got empty and
broken down boxes in the
living room. Theyre next
to the four cans of paint
we bought during a Me-
morial Day sale. Stacks of
newspapers are residing
in the kitchen.
And theres lots of
paperwork from the buy-
ing-a-house process in the
apartment. All over the
apartment. Paint swatches
everywhere. Theres a
giant porch swing in my
living room.
Our pool opened a while
ago, so weve got our pool
gear at-the-ready: bug
spray, sunscreen, hats
and towels. Books. Flip-
flops.
We packed a little bit
over the weekend, but we
also bought a few things
for the house. So now
we have paint brushes,
primer and all that fun
stuff somewhere. To be
honest, I dont even know
what we did with it. It
might still be in the car.
I dug out all our lug-
gage, duffel bags and tote
bags so that we could use
it for packing. Now, we
have a ridiculous amount
of luggage sitting empty
in my living room. Theyre
just in the way.
I took several books to
Mr. Ks, the used book-
store in Greenville, to
trade or sell. Now, I have
a bag of books that the
store didnt want sitting
in my living room.
I fully realize that these
problems are barely prob-
lems and that the prob-
lems are all results from
my not being proactive.
Well, its Dales fault, too.
Its still overwhelming.
I think we packed a to-
tal of four boxes and one
is tiny. It would surprise
me if the tiny box was
more than a cubic foot.
We have another 8.6 mil-
lion to go. Approximately.
So, if anyone has any
free time between now
and Friday, please come
help us.
Ill provide pizza and
drinks.
I promise to only whine
some of the time.

For Greer
Soup
Kitchen
BY KATIE JONES
STAFF WRITER
Gardening is in the
Schmals blood, said Kim-
berly and daughter Olivia.
Kimberly grew up do-
ing it. Olivia, a 21-year-old
North Greenville biology
senior, has too. They have
a garden at home where
they grow their own food.
They also volunteer in the
garden at the Greer Soup
Kitchen.
Earlier this summer, I
saw that the garden hadnt
been tended and I like to
garden, so we asked Mar-
tha (ONeal, operations
manager) if we could
make it beautiful, Olivia
said. So we planted and
weeded.
The family also eats
there and has done so for
years. The family fell on
hard times after Michael,
Kimberlys husband and
Olivias dad, got bacterial
meningitis.
My husband is disabled.
He had meningitis back in
2007 and hes on disabil-
ity. Thats changed a lot
of things in our family,
Kimberly said. We have
four kids and one of the
ways we make the food
budget stretch is to come
here to the soup kitchen.
Mike walks up here, which
helps with his diabetes.
We wanted to plant stuff
that would help supple-
ment what they serve in
the soup kitchen, like to-
matoes.
Michaels illness also af-
fected his memory.
There are sections of
my life I cant remember,
he said.
They enjoy contribut-
ing to the soup kitchen,
where they get help. Olivia
spends a few hours in the
garden three or four days
a week.
That was something
we could contribute as a
family, Kimberly said. I
think itll help out here at
the soup kitchen, as well
as be a good example to
other people in the soup
kitchen. You should get in-
volved. You may not have
so much money, but you
can apply your time and
talents.
The family is growing
peppers, lettuce, squash,
potatoes, carrots, beans,
cucumbers, broccoli and
cauliflower, as well as ba-
sil and other herbs. Theyd
like to keep it growing
year-round.
We want to keep it go-
ing, even through, because
theres a lot you can do in
the winter with the root
crops carrots, Swiss
chard, Kimberly said.
The family volunteered
at Greer Soup Kitchen
before they began eating
there. Olivia never expect-
ed to end up on the other
side.
When we first came, I
think it was Thanksgiving
or Christmas or some-
thing, and I love to serve
other people that need
help. These people did
need help. I enjoyed doing
that, she said. It comes
back to my original princi-
ples. Im a Christian. I see
Biblical principles you
just dont take, and take
and take. Its not good for
you and its not good for
the people who are serv-
ing you to just take from
them when you can actu-
ally give back as well. I see
here that I can give back in
this way, so I do.
Having a garden helps
with planning, said Martha
ONeal, operations man-
ager.
We get a lot in from the
community and so with
this, because theres so
much that comes in from
the community, we dont
know when its coming
in, ONeal said. Its too
sporadic. Its a blessing,
but its all over the place. I
could get a 100 pounds of
tomatoes, then I could go
a week with no tomatoes
Anything that comes in
that we dont use that day
or the day after, we blanch
it, we can it, we put it in
the freezer to use in the
fall.
Come fall, the produce
Olivia grows may end up
in spaghetti, chili or chick-
en tetrazzini.
Things that are so ex-
pensive at the grocery
store, but I just dont buy
those kinds of things.
Those are luxury items to
me, ONeal said. Produce
is luxury to us here... So
the garden is just a bonus.
We can just walk right out
and get what we need.
Herbs are very expensive.
The herbs that are grow-
ing out there, we can go
right out there and get the
herbs that we need with-
out paying $6, $7 for a
bottle of herbs.
Before the Schmals got
to work, the garden was
all weeds, she said.
Its just amazing to
see a young person giving
back, ONeal said.
You think that the youth
of today just does not get
it, but they do get it, she
said. Especially if theyve
got parents that are help-
ing them and showing
them, its not all about get-
ting. Its about giving back
and how to give back.

ing and the soup kitchens

Cliff Harspt is
something of a Greer ce-
lebrity.
Hes an honorary Great-
er Greer Chamber of Com-
merce member. He has
a sandwich named after
him at Stomping Grounds,
where he frequents. He
has even made an appear-
ance in the City of Greers
selfie contest.
So it should come as no
surprise that Senator Tim
Scott seems to be a fan.
Harpst had his photo
taken holding a photo of
Scott, which was later sent
to the senator. Scott sent
Harpst a photo in return:
a photo of Scott holding a
photo of Harpst, holding a
photo of Scott.
Harpst said he didnt do
anything to get the photo.
Im just the beneficiary
of it That aint too shab-
by for an old country boy,
he said.
Harpst met Scott at a
chamber meeting in Green-
ville, and when he went
to Washington, D.C. on
the Honor Flight, Harpst
spoke with another sena-
tor without realizing who
he was.
I didnt want nothing to
do with him, he said.
Grey Garland, one of
Stomping Grounds own-
ers, pointed Scott out to
Harpst.
And he said, I want to
meet that man. I pointed
out Cliff, told him he was
a World War II veteran and
hed like to meet him,
Garland said. He said
Take me to him and the
rest is history.
Harpst, 88 years
young, has lived in Greer
for six years. Hes a big fan
of the city that is a big fan
of him.
For somebody thats
only lived here to have the
popularity that I have I
didnt do anything special
that Greer has shown me,
its mind-boggling to me. I
just cant say enough great
things about the Greer
area and the people.

LAUREL SHOWCASES ASIAN
INFLUENCE IN EXHIBIT
Featuring work from
2005 to the present, Chris-
tina Laurels exhibit Lau-
rel: Retrospective and
Recent reflects an Asian
aesthetic transformed by
an American sensibility.
The exhibit runs June
1-27 in the Artists Guild
Gallery at Chapman Cul-
tural Center, with a recep-
tion concurrent with Art-
Walk 5-9 p.m. June 19 and
an Artists Talk at 7 p.m.
Laurels work in paper
is particularly influenced
by the Edo period (1600-
1850s) of Japan. The artist
manipulates prepared and
found papers that are wo-
ven, layered, collaged and
sewn. Using the kimono
and fan motifs as spring-
boards for her mixed-me-
dia work, the pieces are in-
evitably textural and invite
the eyes to touch. Laurel
originally studied fashion
design; her love of texture
remains visible.
Laurel currently resides
in Greer and holds a bach-
elors degree in studio art,
2009, from The College
at Brockport SUNY, with
additional art studies at
Cornell University and the
University of Maryland.

Masaharu Fukuyama in
Like Father, Like Son
By Sam Struckhof
NEW RELEASES
FOR WEEK OF JUNE 30
PICKS OF THE WEEK
Like Father, Like Son
(Unrated) -- A hardwork-
ing young couple receive a
shock after their son is ac-
cepted into an elite school:
The boy they have been
raising and loving for six
years is not their son, but
was accidentally switched
at birth. While two sets
of parents and two young
boys are pulled into an
emotional situation, the
film focuses on one of
the fathers. Ryota (Masa-
haru Fukuyama) realizes
that he is rather cold as a
father, and his long work
hours as an architect dont
necessarily make him a
great provider for his son,
Keita.
This Japanese import
draws its premise from
real-life events, but comes
across as more of an origi-
nal drama than an adapted
story. The movie delicately
handles difficult questions
about what makes a fam-
ily, and how do imperfect
people make the best deci-
sions for children.
A Young Doctors
Notebook (Mini-series)
-- A Russian doctor (Jon
Hamm) revisits his old
journal and gets pulled
back into his early days
as an overwhelmed young
physician (Daniel Radcliffe)
working in a hospital far
away from everything. Ap-
parently, practicing medi-
cine in rural Russia around
1917 was a brutal, stom-
ach-twisting business. The
doctors older self (Hamm)
has brief but entertaining
exchanges with the memo-
ry of his helpless younger
self (Radcliffe).
A mix of dark comedy
and darker drama per-
vades these few episodes.
Theres enough dry humor
and lower-brow gags to
keep you laughing for the
entire season. However,
there are stretches where
its almost impossible to
keep your eyes on the
screen: amateur surgery in
the early 20th century was
a very messy business.
Afflicted (R) -- Hey,
everyone! Somebody just
made a new found-foot-
age horror movie that isnt
boring crap! Just when
I thought the genre had
been picked clean, along
comes a little flick about
Clif and Derek -- two Ca-
nadian pals documenting
their yearlong trip around
the world. Somewhere
along the way, Derek gets
attacked while hooking
up with a one-night-stand,
and he starts displaying
odd symptoms. As the
duo continue their travels,
Derek develops inhuman
strength and a weird skin
condition. Things escalate
viscerally, paying off in a
horror flick that makes
you best friends with a
monster.
All the Wrong Rea-
sons (Unrated) -- In a big-
box superstore, a dramatic
love quadrangle forms
among some of the broken
young employees. Ascher
(the late Corey Monteith
of TVs Glee) is the store
manager and husband
to Kate (Karine Vanasse),
the stores boundary-ob-
sessed security director.
Also in the mix: Nicole
(Emily Hampshire), a ca-
shier and single-mother
who has her eyes on her
ambitious young boss, and
Simon (Kevin Zeggers),
a firefighter who lost a
hand and now works as
the stores security guard.
This isnt exactly a two-
for-one bargain of comedy
and drama -- more like an
off-brand value pack.
THINGS
TO DO
E
very summer theres
at least one a low-
budget flick that
comes out of nowhere to
capture the publics atten-
tion and make a bunch of
money at the box office.
Theyre called sleepers,
and these are my 10 fa-
vorite summer sleepers of
the last three decades.
10. Gremlins (1984)
Hard to believe three
decades have passed
since Joe Dantes $11
million movie thrilled and
scared its way to a $153.1
million payday. The films
dark tone, clever screen-
play and nasty originality
atone for its shaky cast
and dated special ef-
fects. Its pervasive gore
and violence were largely
responsible for creating
the PG-13 rating months
later.
9. Superbad (2007) --
Coming just months after
Judd Apatows break-
through Knocked Up,
cracked up audiences, he
produced this hilarious
coming-of-age comedy.
Directed by Greg Mottola
and written by Seth Rogen
and Evan Goldberg, this
crude high-school romp is
one of the funniest guy
movies ever made. It pro-
pelled Rogen and Jonah
Hill to the comedy A-List
and went on to make
$121.5 million in the U.S.,
over six times its budget.
8. When Harry Met
Sally (1989) Rob
Reiners $16 million
comedy paved the way for
hundreds of inferior sum-
mer rom-coms to follow.
But, they say the road to
hell is paved with good
intentions, and When
Harry Met Sally is about
as insightful and funny as
it comes. Leads Meg Ryan
and Billy Crystal demon-
strate terrific chemistry,
while Nora Ephrons edgy
screenplay doesnt shy
away from the tensions
between the sexes.
7. Ferris Buellers Day
Off (1986) Made for
under $6 million, this
John Hughes film is the
ultimate playing hooky
movie. Its every kids
dream come true. You
fool your parents into
thinking youre deathly
ill, then hit downtown
Chicago with a beautiful
girl and your best friend.
Funny, thrilling and origi-
nal, its one of the 80s
best comedies.
6. La Bamba (1987)
When this fantastic biopic
came out, most people
knew Ritchie Valens only
as one of the rockers
who died in the Buddy
Holly plane crash. Luiz
Valdez $6.5 million film,
however, depicted Valens
with surprising sensitiv-
ity and depth. Aided by a
stellar soundtrack from
Los Lobos and strong
performances by Lou Dia-
mond Phillips in the lead
and Esai Morales as his
brother, La Bamba is the
only movie I ever cried in.
5. Theres Something
About Mary (1998)
Anyone who saw Dumb
and Dumber (1994) knew
the Farrelly brothers
could write a funny mov-
ie. But, no one realized
just how hysterical they
could be until they wrote
and directed their first R-
rated film. Made for just
$23 million, Mary had a
vast array of oddball char-
acters, some howlingly
funny scenes and two all
time great comic perfor-
mances by Ben Stiller and
Matt Dillon.
4. Stand By Me (1986)
It took just $8 million
for director Rob Reiner to
turn Stephen Kings short
story The Body into a
funny and heartwrenching
coming-of-age drama. Set
in 1959, the film features
an all-kid cast (including
the late River Phoenix),
compelling plot, super
soundtrack and hilarious
dialogue. One of the all-
time-great coming of age
flicks.
3. The Blair Witch
Project (1999) Thanks
to a brilliant Internet
marketing campaign and
inventive documentary-
style production, Blair
Witch surpassed Hal-
loween (1978) as the
most profitable horror
flick ever made. It cost
less than a million bucks
to make and raked in over
$200 million domesti-
cally. People either loved
it or hated it, thought it
was stupid or terrifying.
I thought it was brilliant.
In fact, its the only movie
Ive seen three times in
the theater.
2. The Karate Kid
(1984) Rocky director
John G. Alvidsen scored
another knockout with
this $8 million teen drama
about a bullied kid who
is rescued by a Japanese
karate master. It has it all:
romance, great villains,
extraordinary fight scenes
and a triumphant end-
ing. The film created a
national obsession with
martial arts that contin-
ues to this day.
1. Back to the Fu-
ture (1985) Produced
by Steven Spielberg
and directed by Robert
Zimeckis (Romancing the
Stone, Forrest Gump)
this two-hour, $19 million
thrill ride made Michael
J. Fox the biggest star in
the world. Deftly blend-
ing sci-fi, comedy, action
and teen drama, the
movie was a one-of-a-kind
creation that offered as
much fun as you could
have in a cool movie
theater. It also featured
one of the all-time great
summer songs of the 80s
Huey Lewis Power of
Love.

Movies such as Back to the Future and The Karate Kid did not cost a fortune to make, but
produced quite a proft at the box of ce.

BY DANA BLOCK

est living arrangements.

lian. Silas wondered if Sam
was really over Jason. The
judge made a decision re-
garding Maxies visitation
rights with her daughter.
Anna warned Alexis to be
careful when getting in-
volved with Julian. Wait to

DEAR DR. ROACH: Can
you tell me why there
is so much emphasis
on small portions for
diabetics or prediabet-
ics? If you are watching
carbs and are extremely
underweight, is there still
a reason to limit portion
sizes? -- C.
ANSWER: The major-
ity of people in North
America with diabetes
and prediabetes are over-
weight or obese, so limit-
ing portion size makes
sense for most people.
However, for the minority
of people with diabetes or
prediabetes with normal
or below-normal weight,
portion size no longer has
the importance it does in
overweight people.
A careful diet is im-
portant for everyone
with diabetes. I would be
cautious about the term
carbs, since there are
several different types
of carbohydrates. Simple
sugars and starches are
the problem for diabet-
ics, since they are rapidly
converted to blood sugar.
However, fruits, veg-
etables and whole grains
are much more slowly
turned into blood sugar,
and along with high-qual-
ity protein and healthy
fat, form the basis of a
healthy diet for everybody
-- diabetics and non-dia-
betics alike.
Being underweight with
diabetes should raise the
possibility of Type 1 dia-
betes, which is caused by
autoimmune destruction
of the cells in the pan-
creas that make insulin.
Type 1 diabetics have no
or almost no insulin, and
absolutely need insulin
by injection. Most people
with Type 1 are children
or adolescents, but it can
happen in adults.
Type 2 diabetes is
caused by resistance
to insulin. Most Type 2
diabetics have normal or
even high levels of insu-
lin. Insulin helps bring
sugar from the blood into
cells, but it also acts as a
growth hormone. Thats
one of the reasons Type 2
diabetics have trouble los-
ing weight, since the high
insulin levels promote
fat deposition. Type 2
diabetes is more common
in adults, but as North
Americans continue to
have increasing rates of
obesity, Type 2 diabetes
is showing up at younger
and younger ages.
The situation is even
more complex than I have
made it here. There are
people with elements of
both Type 1 and 2 diabe-
tes, and even rarer types.
I believe Type 1 diabetics
should be managed by an
endocrinologist. Sophisti-
cated blood tests, includ-
ing insulin, C-peptide
and insulin antibodies,
occasionally are necessary
to sort out what kind of
diabetes is present.
Diabetes is a serious,
lifelong condition that can
affect almost every part
of the body. The booklet
on diabetes explains the
illness and its treatment
in detail. To obtain a

DEAR DR. ROACH:
Would someone who has
a gluten intolerance be
able to use psyllium prod-
ucts (Metamucil) without
any problems? What I re-
ally want to know is, does
psyllium have gluten,
since it comes from wheat
husks? Thank you for
your answer. -- S.S.
ANSWER: Psyllium is
gluten-free. It is made
from the husks of the
Plantago plant, not wheat.
Psyllium is an excel-
lent source of fiber, but
should be started at a low
dose and gradually in-
creased to avoid bloating.

Heres how to brew the
clearest and most spar-
kling iced tea ever.
8 cups cold water
8 tea bags of choice
Ice cubes
Granulated or superfne sugar
Thin lemon slices
1. In nonreactive 3-
quart saucepan, heat 4
cups cold water to boiling
over high heat. Remove
from heat and stir in tea
bags. Cover and steep 5
minutes.
2. Stir again and remove
tea bags. Pour tea into
heatproof 2 1/2-quart
pitcher. Add remaining 4
cups water. Cover and let
stand until ready to serve.
3. Fill tall glasses with
ice cubes and pour tea
over. Serve with sugar
and lemon slices. Makes 8
cups or 8 servings.
TIP: The perfect glass of
iced tea is sparkling clear,
but when refrigerated,
iced tea turns cloudy. To
make clear iced tea, brew
the tea with half the usual
amount of boiling water,
then add enough cold wa-
ter to cool the tea. If you
must refrigerate iced tea,
stir a little boiling water
into the chilled tea until it
clears.
Each serving: About 5
calories, 0g total fat (0g
saturated), 0mg cholester-
ol, 8mg sodium, 2g total
carbs, 0g protein.
