BLAME

BILLY
CANNADA
Remember
T
hirteen years ago,
our nation changed
forever.
It blows my mind it has
been that long. My wife,
a fifth grade teacher,
is currently teaching a
group of kids that werent
even alive when the World
Trade Center buildings
came crashing down on
September 11, 2001.
It was a horrifying day.
More than 2,700 people
lost their lives.
Now, its history.
But it doesnt feel like
history. I can remember
that day vividly. I was in
school when my teacher
flipped on the television.
Rumors had begun to
spread about what was
happening in New York,
and for the rest of the day
normal class activities
were put on hold.
My English teacher,
along with rest of the
class, stared at the news
silently. Trying to figure
out what was happening.
Hours went by before an-
swers came. I was living in
Charleston, West Virginia,
far away from the danger
in New York, but fear was
everywhere.
Each class was the
same.
Eyes glued to the TV.
Occasional interruptions
allowed teachers to dis-
miss students to fright-
ened parents.
I was one of the only
students left in my sci-
ence class after lunch, but
my parents came to get
me as well.
I had so many ques-
tions: What was going
on? Why were my parents
coming to get me? Were
our friends in New York
OK?
My parents didnt have
answers.
We just drove around
after leaving school,
avoiding our house and
any more news coverage.
When we did get home,
my brother and I tuned
into the news again, won-
dering if anything else
had happened.
My parents tried to
discourage it, but they
wanted to know too.
We sat in disbelief as a
family, not knowing what
was coming next.
My Sept. 11th story is
probably similar to yours.
Its one of those Where
were you? moments in
history.
I think this day is so
fresh in my memory
because were still seeing
the impact of it.
In the days months and
years that followed our
hearts remained heavy.
I remember being in
New York more than a
month after the attacks,
seeing bodies still being
pulled out of the rubble.
I remember the day my
brother joined the United
States Air Force, know-
ing our country was still
heavily involved in the
war on terror.
Sept. 11th changed us
as a nation, but we still
face the same threats
today.
With terrorists and mili-
tants creating chaos in the
Middle East and around
the world, we can only
hope to avoid another
tragedy and more war.
As we remember this
horrific day, take some
time to pray for peace.

In 35-7
win Friday
BY LELAND BURCH
FOR THE GREER CITIZEN
Greer took the wind out
of Riversides sails with
a 97-yard opening drive
and went on to sink the
Warriors 35-7 Friday night
in the annual cross-town
football clash.
Although the result was
familiar, Greer Coach Will
Young declared it was a
scary situation for us be-
cause Riverside had some
momentum, and if we
had come over here flat,
it could have gotten ugly
for us. But our kids were
up for the game and took
care of business.
There was funny busi-
ness as well. Riverside
twice attempted onside
kickoffs that Greer recov-
ered for prime field posi-
tion and one quick touch-
down. The Yellow Jackets
also lost a sixth touch-
down on a rarely seen play
when reserve quarterback
Brice Green scrambled 31
yards to the goal line only
to fumble. The loose ball
was batted around before
tumbling out of the end
zone where it was de-
clared a touchback, and
Riverside took over at the
20-yard line.
I dont know if we im-
proved much from last
week other than I thought
the kids played extremely
well early in the game.
Then we could relax and
enjoy the second half,
Young said. Our kids
played very physical. Our
offensive and defensive

The 42-game winning
streak was in trouble Fri-
day night.
Eastside quarterback
Drake Turnquist had just
found Ty Thomason on
a touchdown connection
with time winding down in
the third, giving the Eagles
a 28-16 advantage over
Christ Church.
Thats when everything
fell apart for Eastside.
The Cavaliers went on
to score five unanswered
touchdowns in the last
14 minutes, extending
their state record winning
streak to 43 games.
We gave them every-
thing they could handle,
Eastside coach Jeff Thom-
ason said. The defensive
staff did a great job and
the offensive staff did a
great job. We just dealt
with a few little mental
things here or there, but
thats going to happen. We
have to get our guys used
to being in these games
and being in these situa-
tions, and more things like
this will get done.
Turnquist threw two of
his three touchdown pass-
es in the first half, running
for one before the break to
give Eastside a 21-9 advan-
tage.
The last Eastside score
came just before Christ
Church returned a punt
for a touchdown in the
third quarter, shifting the
momentum and starting
an offensive showing that
could not be stopped.
Weve got a bunch of
kids trying to do a whole
lot of stuff, Thomason
said. Theyre fighting
their guts out and Im
proud of each and every
one of these guys. What
you saw was a bunch of
kids trying to make plays

If you want to catch the
Byrnes game this Friday
night, you will have to hop
the next flight to Califor-
nia.
For those not up for the
road trip, the Rebels can
be seen taking on De La
Salle at 10:15 p.m. (EST)
this Friday on ESPNU.
For new Byrnes coach
Brian Lane, organizing an
early season away game
on the west coast has been
easier than expected.
Theyre a very good
team, Lane said. I cant
say enough about coach
[Justin] Alumbaugh. Hes
just been great as far as us
working out logistics and
getting out there. Those
guys have done a heck of
a job in getting us situ-
ated.
Lane said Alumbaugh
and company do things a
little differently.
They have some grown
men up front on both sides
of the ball, he said. Its a
different kind of football
team out there. Theyre a
private school and it cost
about $16,000 to go there
a year. Its just a different
kind of atmosphere and
Im looking forward to see-
ing how our guys do. With
the trip and everything
thats going on, Im look-
ing forward to how theyll
respond.
De La Salle runs a 4-2 de-
fensive set.
Theyll run some cover
three, Lane said. They
disguise some things well
and theyll run some dif-
ferent coverages. Well
have to do a good job of
executing.
Lane said De La Salle is
efficient.
They tackle really well,
he said. Thats one thing I
noticed on video. They just
dont miss a lot of tackles.
Were going to have our
hands full.
While it may not be the
biggest game Lane has
ever competed in, its cer-
tainly the furthest.
I would say any state
championship game was
a big game for me, Lane
said. I dont know if this
is the biggest game, but
its definitely the furthest
weve ever been. Youve
just got to make sure ev-
erythings tied down and
on point. At the end of the
day, we have to be ready
to play.

A tough performance from Eastside wide receiver Ty Thomason was not enough for the Eagles to hold of Christ Church,
which used a fourth quarter comeback to win its 43rd consecutive game Friday night.

Blue Ridge nose guard
James Martin had 11 solo
tackles, two tackles for
loss and five assisted tack-
les during the Tigers 29-
15 victory over JL Mann
last Friday night, but the
stats were not what im-
pressed his coaches.
Mann was threatening
a late score inside the
Tigers 10-yard line that
would have put Blue Ridge
in a tight spot, but Martin
stepped up to make four
clutch tackles on consecu-
tive plays to seal the vic-
tory.
For his performance,
Martin earns Defensive
Player of the Week honors
from The Greer Citizen
and Owens Insurance.
I just like to play hard,
Martin said. Nobody gets
down the field if Im there.
Our defense is there to get
stops.
The defense did what it
needed to do early Friday
night, helping to build a
19-0 lead on the visitors.
We leave no doubt on
the field, he said. Thats
kind of our mentality. Play
hard and leave no doubt.
Martin said although he
was having a stellar per-
formance, he was not fo-
cusing on statistics.
I dont pay attention to
how many tackles Im get-
ting, Martin said. I just
play. I can see all the stats
on Monday. I cant dont
worry about all that.
During the last few
weeks of practice, Martin
said the focus has been on
effort.
Were talking about ef-
fort and giving it our all,
he said. Weve been watch-
ing film and we think we
have what it takes to get it
done.
Martin wants to demon-
strate leadership by ex-
ample during his junior
season.
My role is just to show
everybody Im there for
them and Im playing for
them, Martin said. The
seniors only have one
more year, so Im just
going out there to play
for them. You dont want
those guys to go out on a
bad season.
The Tigers will travel
to Georgia to take on Ste-
phens County this Friday
at 7:30 p.m.
I dont know about Ste-
phens County, but I know
Im going to show up and
play, Martin said. Im go-
ing to give it my all and
continue to leave no doubt
on the field.

Yellow Jacket quarter-
back Mario Cusano threw
for 129 yards while rush-
ing for 103 yards during
Greers 35-7 win over Riv-
erside last Friday, earning
Offensive Player of the
Week honors from The
Greer Citizen and Owens
Insurance.
Cusano threw for one
touchdown on 10 of 12
passing, rushing for a
score as well.
I mostly pass, but I can
also run, he said. Most
people dont know that.
Against Riverside, they
didnt know that. If they
watched the Clinton film,
they didnt see me run-
ning because we didnt do
a lot of that, but I like to
think of myself as a dual
threat.
The junior said the game
was about staying focused
and executing on offense.
We stayed physical and
did some things we want-
ed to do, Cusano said.
We knew that we could
win the game. We didnt
want to play down to
them. Thats what we did
last year to Blue Ridge and
we didnt like the outcome
of that game.
Cusano started off hot,
giving the No. 7 ranked
Jackets a 28-7 halftime
cushion.
I just wanted to get
off to a good start, get a
few completions and gain
some confidence, he said.
I got that confidence and
it carried over throughout
the rest of the game.
Cusano was able to get
several of his teammates
involved and the Greer of-
fense totaled 403 yards on
the night.
You have to spread
it around and make the
defense worry about ev-
erybody, not just one big
player, Cusano said. You
have to move it around
and get everybody going
because once everybody
is going, you can see the
outcome.
On Friday, Greer will
travel to Union to compete
in the Jacket Bowl.
These next two coming
up are going to be the big-
gest games of the whole
schedule, he said. We
just have to play them
tough.
Cusano said he knows
his role on this team is an
important one.
Ive got to be a leader,
Cusano said. On the field,
I have to control the tem-
po. Off the field, Ive got to
make sure everybodys do-
ing what they need to do
and not potentially hurt-
ing the team.

Week three of the young
football season is going to
require a little more travel
than usual for Blue Ridge.
The Tigers hit the road
this week to face Stephens
County, Georgia, which
will present another huge
task for the 2-0 squad.
Its a little bit more dis-
tance than were used to,
head coach Shane Clark
said. They way things
shook out, we added this
game to week three. It will
add to the challenge for
our guys. We know its go-
ing to be a long trip get-
ting there, but hopefully
well respond well getting
off the bus.
The Indians are coming
off a 35-20 loss to Elbert
County.
Every week, were work-
ing to get better, he said.
Stephens County is a good
football team. Weve had
the opportunity to look
at those guys and theyre
solid across the board.
Clark said most of Ste-
phens Countys strength
comes from its size on the
front lines.
Theyve got some pret-
ty big guys on both sides
of the ball, Clark said.
Theyve got a big 6-7 340
pound offensive tackle
that everybody talks
about. Theyre going to be
big in the middle and its
going to be a huge chal-
lenge for us.
Defensively, the Indians
line up in a 4-4 or 4-3 set.
They do a lot of things
well, Clark said.
Friday kicksoff at 7:30
p.m. in Toccoa, Georgia.

Something has to give
this Friday night at Wade
Hampton, as two teams,
desperate for wins, collide
at 7:30 p.m.
The Eagles will hit the
road to face the Gener-
als, who have lost three
straight games in the early
going. Wade Hamptons
most recent defeat came
against Hillcrest during an
embarrassing 71-8 show-
ing.
Eastside is licking its
wounds too, however,
coming off a devastat-
ing 51-28 loss to Christ
Church.
The Eagles had the lead
for most of the game
against a Cavalier team
that holds the state record
for most consecutive wins.
A few late turnovers, how-
ever, resulted in Eastsides
second loss of the season.
Were going to be fine,
head coach Jeff Thomason
said. Were going to build
of this. In the big picture,
[the Christ Church game]
doesnt mean a whole lot
as far as region stand-
ings and stuff like that.
Two weeks from now is
when we really need to
be geared up and pushing
ourselves.
Wade Hampton will pres-
ent a 4-3 look on defense.
The Generals have also
lost games to Blue Ridge
and Dorman this season.
Thomason said this
week is just about getting
better.
I think youll see this
team grow as we keep
moving forward, he
said. These kids believe
in each other as much as
any other team Ive ever
coached. Theyve grown
up. I think theyve shown
exactly what theyre made
of and well be fine.

The intensity was not
there for Riverside last
Friday night against Greer.
Thats what head coach
Phil Smith hopes to change
that this week as the War-
riors get set to take on
Woodmont.
We did lose and we lost
bad, Smith said. Its over
and weve got to move on.
We cant let one loss beat
us twice.
Smith said his team
struggled early and often
during a tough rivalry
game against the Yellow
Jackets.
The intensity that we
went out with against
Eastside just wasnt what
we went out with against
Greer, Smith said. We
played a dominant game
last Friday against East-
side and I think we didnt
play well [against Greer].
The Warriors had some
woes on defense in the
first half last week.
Defensively, we did
not play well at all, he
said. There were a lot of
missed assignments and
simple things we covered
all week. Weve talked a lot
about the intensity level
and how bad it was in the
first half. In the second
half, we went out there
and started playing bet-
ter, but we couldnt get it
done.
Riverside is hoping to
stabilize what they believe
can be a good offensive at-
tack.
We had some drives
where we shot ourselves
in the foot, but Greer also
made some great plays, he
said. I was proud of what
our offense did. There are
definitely some positives
to take away from it.
Against Woodmont, the
Warriors will have to de-
fend against the spread.
Theyre a spread team,
he said. They run the
counter and they run
some misdirections. They
run a little bit of isolation
and they run some two-
back. They also do some
option.
Defensively, Woodmont
will present multiple looks,
such as a 3-4 or a 4-2.
I think it will be a good
matchup, Smith said. It
was a close game last year
that we ended up losing.
I think a tackle here or a
tackle there could make
the difference in this
game.
I think we match up
well with what they do,
he said. Hopefully, well
have our guys back from
injuries this week so we
think well bounce back.
Kickoff for Friday nights
game is set for 7:30 p.m.
at The Reservation.

Greer will hit the road
to face Union County this
Friday night and head
coach Will Young said his
team will be in for another
tough game.
Its always been a tight
ball game, he said. Both
schools have a lot of tradi-
tion. Their kids believe in
what their doing and were
expecting a hard fought
ball game. I dont think
this year is going to be any
different. Theyre really
good.
The Jackets are fresh off
a 35-7 blowout win over
rival Riverside, but this
week has been about im-
proving and fine tuning.
Weve just been trying
to get better at what we
do, Young said. Every-
body adds something to
their package every week
and weve added some
stuff to our package. Were
working on that [this week]
and well see if we can find
a way to hang in there with
Union.
Union Countys defense
is based out of a 3-3 set.
Theyre kind of back
to the old Union County
where their defensive front
is pretty good, Young
said. Theyve got a good
defensive line, good line-
backers and theyre very
talented in the secondary.
Theyre just very good.
In the first two weeks of
the regular season, Greer
has seen offensive pro-
duction come from several
different places.
Different kids have
played bigger roles in both
ball games, Young said.
In the first ball game,
a lot of it fell on Dorian
(Lindsey), but in the last
ball game, very little of it
did. A lot of it fell on Mario
(Cusano) and Adrian Mc-
Gee against Riverside.
Thats what we have to
do all year. We knew that
coming in, he said. We
knew we had some pretty
good players out there on
the edges and we needed
to find ways to get them
the football.
Kickoff is set for 7:30
p.m.

The car and driver to
beat in the 2014 chase
for the NASCAR Sprint
Cup identified themselves
emphatically on Saturday
night at Richmond Inter-
national Raceway.
Brad Keselowski led all
but 17 of 400 laps in win-
ning the Federated Auto
Parts 400, the final race of
the NASCAR Sprint Cup Se-
ries regular season. In the
process, he won his fourth
race of the season and
secured top seeding for
the 10-race chase, which
starts Sunday, Sept. 14 at
Chicagoland Speedway (2
p.m. ET on ESPN).
Ryan Newman and
Greg Biffle secured the fi-
nal two of 16 chase spots
on points, Newman with
a solid ninth-place run,
Biffle with a much shakier
19th-place finish, two laps
down.
But it was Keselowski
who made the statement
in securing the 400th vic-
tory across all racing se-
ries for team owner Roger
Penske.
What a night, Kesel-
owski said. Part of me, I
pulled into victory lane and
I pinched myself once to
make sure I wasnt dream-
ing. These are nights you
dont forget as a driver
and you live for.
Were ready. We want
to run for another cup. We
really feel like this team
has it. Team Penske is re-
ally clicking 400th win
for Team Penske, and this
feels so lucky, man, to
have such an incredible
team and a car like we did
tonight and be able to ex-
ecute it and not have any
bad luck. Weve had plenty
of bad luck over the last
few weeks, but, wow, what
a night!
Keselowski, the Coors
Light pole winner, took the
lead for the final time on
Lap 127 when he beat race
runner-up Jeff Gordon and
Kevin Harvick, the races
only other leader, off pit
road. From that point on,
Keselowskis No. 2 Ford
was untouchable.
Gordon made it inter-
esting in the closing laps,
finishing .797 seconds be-
hind the Keselowski, who
won for the first time at
the .75-mile short track
and the 14th time in his
career. Clint Bowyer ran
third but failed to make
the Chase.
Jamie McMurray came
home fourth, one spot
ahead of Harvick, whose
car faded in the final 110
laps.
For the first three quar-
ters of the race, Keselows-
ki was totally dominant,
leading 283 of the first 300
laps. Harvick provided the
only competition for the
No. 2 Team Penske Ford
in the early stages of the
race, running a high line in
the corners and taking the
point twice for a total of
17 laps before Keselowski
regained control after a re-
start on Lap 132.
Bowyer grabbed the sec-
ond position from Harvick
with an aggressive move
on a Lap 271 restart. Kes-
elowski continued to lead,
but Bowyer stayed close
for the first 50 laps of
the subsequent green-flag
run.
Gordon charged past
Harvick for the third spot
on Lap 290 and took off
in pursuit of Bowyer,
who surrendered the sec-
ond position on Lap 319,
10 circuits before a fan
caused a caution with an
ill-advised, albeit success-
ful attempt to scale the
catchfence in Turn 4.
But if that caution gave
the drivers behind him
a glimmer of hope, Kes-
elowski quickly snuffed
it out, pulling away from
Gordon, Bowyer and Har-
vick after a restart on Lap
337 and opening a two-
second advantage by Lap
355.
Though Gordon got
closer as the run contin-
ued, Keselowski had built
too big a lead in the early
stages for Gordon to chal-
lenge for the win.
The four-time series
champion acknowledged
he couldnt compete with
Keselowski on the short
runs, but Gordon wasnt
about to concede the title
to his Team Penske rival.
I didnt feel like we
had a car that could com-
pete with Brad at certain
portions of the night, but
we just never gave up on
it great pit stops, great
adjustments, and there at
the end, we were closing
on him, Gordon said. It
wasnt a win, but still great
momentum to carry into
the chase.
This team is on fire,
and we just cant wait to
get it all started. Its been
a heck of a year. Our fans
and the way that theyve
embraced this season has
been extremely motivat-
ing, and I know how proud
they are. And were proud
of the effort and the re-
sults that were getting this
year. Ten more weeks that
weve got to get it done,
and this team is ready to
do that.
Though Bowyer finished
just seven points behind
Biffle in the battle for the
final chase position, real-
istically, the driver of the
No. 15 Michael Waltrip
Racing Toyota had to win
the race to make the post-
season.
And Bowyer left nothing
on the table.
That was our best ef-
fort, he said. Thats all I
had. Thats all we had as a
race team. We put it all out
there, and still, we were
just third best.

The North Greenville
University football team
opened the 2014 season
on a high note last Thurs-
day with a 45-21 victory
over Ave Maria University.
On just the second drive
of the game, the Crusaders
jumped on the board with
a four-play, 57-yard drive
that ended with a 13-yard
touchdown pass from ju-
nior Nelson Hughes to
sophomore Robbie Brown.
The Gyrenes and Cru-
saders traded possessions
before Ave Maria tied the
game at 7-7 with a five-
yard touchdown pass from
quarterback Clayton Ueker
to Dan Mervos with under
two minutes remaining in
the quarter.
North Greenville junior
Trey Walker would score
on the teams next drive on
a 49-yard touchdown rush
as the first quarter came
to a close, giving North
Greenville a 14-7 lead.
Junior Darius Custard
blocked an Ave Maria punt
to open the second quar-
ter. Ashton Heard convert-
ed the turnover into a 26-
yard touchdown to move
the North Greenville lead
to 21-7.
The Crusaders scored
again on a 68-yard
touchown pass from
Hughes to Brown and a 25-
yard field goal from senior
Justin Gravely put North
Greenville ahead 31-7 go-
ing into halftime.
Ave Maria used an 83-
yard touchdown pass on
the first play of the sec-
ond half to cut the Cru-
sader lead to 31-14. Heard
scored his second touch-
down of the game on an
ensuing drive, however,
making the score 38-14
as time ticked away in the
third.
Hughes and Brown
would connect again, this
time on a 49-yard score
near the end of the quar-
ter, to give North Green-
ville a 45-14 edge.
The Crusaders put up
639 total yards of of-
fense. Hughes finished
the game 15-25 with 324
passing yards and three
touchdowns. Backup Mike
Calabro also got in on
the action, completing all
five pass attempts for 44
yards, while rushing four
times for 67 yards on the
ground.
Walker went over the
century mark on the
ground, recording 131
yards on 12 carries with
a score. Heard totaled 11
carries for 57 yards and
two touchdowns. Brown
was the leading receiver
with seven catches for 206
yards and three touch-
downs. Senior Brock Fris-
bee caught two passes for
53 yards. Ten different
Crusaders caught a pass
in the game.
On defense, North
Greenville limited Ave Ma-
ria to just 59 yards on the
ground. Sophomore KJ Mc-

nine tackles and two tack-
les for loss. Sophomore
Nigel Gay recorded six
tackles in the contest. Fel-
low sophomore Sam Hous-
ton also totaled six tackles
with a forced fumble.

Blue Ridge has senior
Eric Diaz to thank for Fri-
day nights win against JL
Mann.
Diaz picked off a pass
and returned it 69 yards
for a touchdown, giving
the Tigers a 29-15 lead
that would hold up as the
final 60 seconds ticked off
the clock.
With the win, Blue Ridge
moves to 2-0 on the sea-
son.
Our defense stepped
up, head coach Shane
Clark said. Eric Diaz had
a great play, which kind of
sealed it for us.
That defense forced a
fumble on Manns open-
ing drive, and Blue Ridge
would take advantage
in the opening minutes.
Sophomore quarterback
Jay Urich hit Mikey Urueta
for a 17-yard touchdown,
capping an ensuing 97-
yard drive. Wide Receiver
Tay Jenkins then took a
handoff 49 yards, giv-
ing Blue Ridge its second
touchdown of the game to
open the second.
That 13-0 advantage was
moved to 16-0 after a 39-
yard Jon Michael Bright
field goal in the second.
Bright would nail two
more in the contest.
Our guys started out
pretty good, he said. We
had some really crazy pen-
alties and things that took
us out of some scoring op-
portunities.
After giving up a safety,
the Tigers then conceded
their first touchdown of
the night with only 11 sec-
onds left in the first half.
The Tigers went into the
break ahead 19-9.
A third Bright field goal
gave Blue Ridge a 22-9
lead, but Mann answered
in the fourth with a touch-
down of its own, narrow-
ing the margin to 22-15.
With Mann threaten-
ing another scoring drive,
Diaz scored the game-win-
ning touchdown.
We had a couple of
huge stops, he said. Our
defense stepped up big for
us.
James Martin also had
a big night for the Blue
Ridge defense, racking up
11 solo tackles, five assist-
ed tackles and two tackles
for loss.
We saw exactly what we
thought wed see, Clark
said. They fought pretty
tough and theyre a much
improved team over the
last couple of years. They
played very hard through-
out the game.
Clark said he wants his
team to finish more drives
instead of settling for
three points.
Weve got to work hard
and continue to finish
drives this week, he said.
We kicked three field
goals, which was great.
Weve just got to work
harder to finish drives of-
fensively.
With Urich and Jenkins
providing the only two of-
fensive touchdowns of the
night, Clark said his group
will have to continue to
look for more opportuni-
ties.
Its coming together,
Clark said of the offense.
It just takes a little bit of
time. This is the first time
all these guys are work-
ing together, but we think
good decisions are being
made and things are going
pretty well.

FROM B1
lines were physical, and
that is huge going into a
couple of very big games
the next two weeks.
Riverside Coach Phil
Smith was unhappy with
the outcome, saying, I
was disappointed. We had
some kids out with inju-
ries like our big play guy
Emmanuel Jackson, and
everybody has go to step
up. But we did not start
out like we were ready,
and thats my fault.
Smith added, Greer is a
physical team with a lot of
speed, but I was proud of
the way our offense dug in
there tonight.
The Warriors appeared
ready to pick up where
they had left off at East-
side by taking the opening
kickoff and mounting a
50-yard drive. With the aid
of a penalty, the Yellow
Jackets finally stopped
Riverside at the 31-yard
line, but the Warriors
pinned Greer at the three
with a punt.
GREER GAINS MOMENTUM
The Yellow Jackets
gained the momentum by
cruising to the opposite
end zone on a 12-play
drive, overcoming 30-yards
in penalties in the process.
Quarterback Mario Cusano
reeled off a 32-yard gain
along the way before fir-
ing a 34-yard touchdown
pass to Zach Glidden. Nick
Robersons conversion
kick was wide, but Greer
led 6-0 at the end of the
opening period.
Greer wasted no time
scoring again with a five-
play, 57-yard drive. Zeke
Whiteside scampered 17
yards on a wide sweep to
set up the score that came
on a four-yard burst by
Adrian McGee. The Yellow
Jackets tacked on a two-
point conversion with the
Cusano-to-Glidden pass
combination to make it
14-0 early in the second
period.
Three plays later Greer
linebacker Bobby Far-
rington recovered a War-
riors fumble at the 29-yard
line to set up a third score.
McGee again did the hon-
ors, reeling off 15 yards
on first down and shoot-
ing 14 yards off left tackle
on the next play. Rober-
sons extra point pushed
the tally to 21-0.
The Warriors made
Coach Smith proud with
a 14-play scoring march
that consumed the next
five minutes. Quarter-
back Ryan Cerino started
the 69-yard drive with a
13-yard pass to Matt Wat-
son, and finished it with
a fourth down scoring
toss of five yards to Corey
Bridges. Antoine Kahaleh
added the extra point.
That set the stage for Riv-
ersides first onside kickoff
that Isaiah Long recovered
at the Greer 48-yard line.
The Yellow Jackets took
advantage of the break by
scoring in just four plays.
McGee launched the drive
with runs of seven and
36 yards. Freshman Quay
Thackston took over and
got the final 19 yards in
two carries. Robersons
conversion made it 28-8.
The Greer kicker got an-
other scoring opportunity
on the last play of the half
following a 37-yard pass
from Cusano to Dorian
Lindsey. But the 36-yard
field goal attempt was
wide of the uprights.
Smith defends onside
kicks
Riverside opened the
second half with another
on-side kickoff that Long
also recovered. Greer ap-
peared to be headed to the
house with two quick first
downs, but Thackston
fumbled at the seven-yard
line where a host of War-
riors pounced on the ball.
Greer got the ball right
back when Lindsey picked
off a Cerino pass at the 16-
yard line. Cusano scored
on a quarterback draw on
the next play to put Greer
up by four touchdowns
with 2:39 left in the third
period.
Im not second-guessing
the onside kickoff calls,
Smith said afterward. We
had to try to make some-
thing happen, to get the
football any way we could.
Besides, statistics prove
that no matter how you
kick off, the final results
are about the same.
Young was suspicious
that the onside kicks may
have been illegal. The
rules say the kicker must
be clearly identified, and
that was not the case be-
cause Riverside had sev-
eral kids crisscrossing like
they might kick the ball,
he contended.
The fourth period was
uneventful, as both teams
began playing reserves,
until the final two min-
utes. Thats when Green
converted a fourth-and-six
into an apparent 31-yard
touchdown that he failed
to cash in.
Until then, Cusano had
turned in a spectacular
performance. The junior
quarterback rushed for
113 yards on 10 carries,
scoring once in the pro-
cess. He also threw a 34-
yard touchdown pass as
part of a 10-14 passing
performance that piled up
128 yards
With Cusano at the top
of his game, Greer had no
need to use the wildcat
featuring Dorian Lindsay.
Young explained, We
have an excellent quar-
terback in Cusano, and
the things we were doing
were successful. I thought
Thackston and McGee
both ran well. We have a
balanced offense, but we
knew that is what it would
take going into the season
because we graduated our
all-time leading rusher,
Quez Nesbitt.
In the process of im-
proving to 2-0, the Yellow
Jackets ran up huge mar-
gins in the stat columns.
Greer amassed 440 total
yards for 19 first downs.
The Yellow Jackets rushed
for 312 yards, and had
128 air yards. Greer lost
one fumble and suffered
six penalties for 85 yards.
The Warriors recorded
138 yards of total offense
for 13 first downs. River-
side rushed for 69 yards
net, and Cerino completed
10 of 23 passes for 69
yards. Riverside lost one
fumble and had a pass in-
tercepted while being hit
with eight penalties for 70
yards.

FROM PAGE ONE
and trying get the extra
yard. Thats just what we
do.
Late turnovers cost the
Eagles. Eastside turned
the ball over on a kickoff
return early in the fourth
and threw an interception
on a later drive.
Were not going to say
anybody did anything
wrong, he said. We
popped a few balls loose
ourselves. Thats just how
it goes.
Coming off a loss to ri-
val Riverside, the Eagles
feel good about their week
two showing.
They really rebounded
from last week, Thoma-
son said. Last week, we
just had bad execution.
They forgot about all that
and they executed well
[against Christ Church].
Thomason said his guys
will have to learn to finish
ball games.
We were a little tired
toward the end, but thats
OK, he said. Were al-
right. We think were in
better shape than any
team we face. Thats what
we kept telling them. The
second half didnt quite go
our way, but thats part of
trying to get this program
back where it needs to be.
We have to learn how to
finish some things.
Were going to be a
better team from here on
out, Thomason added.
Thomason said his team,
and even the student sec-
tion, believed they could
be the ones to knock off
Christ Church.
Weve got kids that
bought it and we talked
all week about believing,
he said. The student sec-
tion was over there saying,
why not us. All you hear
about is the streak, well
why cant we be the ones
to beat them? Our kids
believed in that and thats
what they fed on and kept
pushing for.
Eastside faces Wade
Hampton this Friday on
the road at 7:30 p.m.

KEEPING UP
WITH JONES
KATIE
JONES
Adios,
readers
I
have news. This will
likely be the last Keep-
ing Up With Jones
column. I will no longer
be with The Greer Citizen.
I know, I know youre
devastated.
Ive joined the Ameri-
Corps Upstate program
and will be at Greer Relief,
starting Sept. 8.
I am incredibly excited
about this opportunity.
Despite what some peo-
ple think (cough, cough,
Greer Citizen crew), I am
not disppearing.
Im not dying or joining
the witness protection.
Im not even leaving
downtown Greer.
Ive loved, loved, loved
my time in journalism.
Its been crazy, in the best
way.
I have met so many
wonderful people and got-
ten to do so many things
I would have never done
otherwise.
I snuggled a baby bear!
Lets not forget that.
I dont know if this is a
goodbye to journalism
or a see you later.
Its no secret Im work-
ing on my masters degree
in library and information
science.
Im not getting that for
the fun of it Im making
a career change.
Im excited, most defi-
nitely, for the change, but
Im sad too.
I joined my first news-
paper staff in middle
school. It was then that
I decided this is what I
wanted to do.
When I was 6 or so, I
wrote (and very poorly
illustrated) my first story.
It was not good.
I like to think Ive im-
proved since then. Writing
has been a big part of my
life since I learned how to
do it.
Im an indecisive per-
son. A worrier.
I make mountains out
of molehills and will bury
my head in the sand when
possible.
With the house, for
example, it has taken
me weeks to pick paint
colors.
Once I do make a
choice, I fret for a while
about whether or not its
the right choice.
Imagine what changing
career fields could do to
me.
But Im more than ready
for a change.
I feel good about this
decision.
Im excited to learn new
skills and immerse myself
in a new world.
The past few years have
been downright crazy.
Ive grown up just
enough to know that I
really have no idea what
Im doing.
Ive learned enough to
know I really know next
to nothing in the grand
scheme of things.
So, its time to try some-
thing new. Keep learning
new things.
Its been fun, Greer. Ill
be around.

Davenport
High
BY BILLY CANNADA
EDITOR
I
ts been seven decades
since Don Owens
graduated from Greer
High School, but he and
several classmates still
keep in touch.
The class of 1944 cel-
ebrated a milestone last
week, holding its 70th
reunion at Greer First
Baptist Church.
For Owens, the class
student body president, it
was a time to reflect.
This is the first time
weve had one in six
years, Owens said. Wed
just put it off and put it
off.
Owens said its good to
see familiar faces again.
Theyve changed, but
most have stayed the
same, he said. There
hasnt been too much
change from six years
ago. Weve lost some
people during that six
years, but there were 80
of us when we started.
About 21 of the 80 are
still living, he said. You
can figure were all 86 to
88 years old.
Back then, the school
was known as Davenport
High School, named for
D.D. Davenport, who paid
most of the construction
costs. Davenport served
as Greers high school un-
til 1953. Thats when the
North Main Street build-
ing was completed. The
old building then became
Davenport Junior High,
until it burned down in
1970.
Owens said he enjoyed
school at Davenport.
We went to Greer High

From D&D
Motors
donation
BY KATIE JONES
STAFF WRITER
Donations continue
to come in for the Daily
Bread Ministries Shelter
to Empower People (STEP),
a rehabilitation homeless
shelter set to break ground
on East Poinsett Street on
Oct. 1.
Most recently, D & D Mo-
tors has help, donating
$10,000 to the shelter.
I think its a fantastic
idea, said Skip Daven-
port, D & D president and
general manager. Theres
so many people in need in
our area.
D & D knows what a great
job Daily Bread Ministries
does, Davenport said.
Our goal is to help out
people in our local com-
munity who are in need,
he said. When it comes to
having something to eat,
thats about as basic of a
need as you can get. Help-
ing people transition off of
needing help to being able
to help themselves just
takes the whole process
in the right direction. We
felt like they were right on
target and wanted to help
out.
The Davenport fam-
ily has been helping the
Greer community for 75
years, said Norm West,
STEP construction project
manager.
I know, because I come
here at least once a year,
asking for donations for all
different kinds of stuff
and they always help out,
West said. Theyve always
supported the community,
as far as the soup kitchen,
cancer everything.
The shelter, estimated
to cost $475,000, will be
modeled after the pro-
gram at Triune Mercy Cen-
ter in Greenville. It will
house three individuals or
families in 90 or 180-day
programs where they will
receive counseling.
The Greer community
doesnt have a homeless
shelter currently, but has
needed one for some time,
said Nancy Webb, vice
chair of the board.
One of the founders
of our soup kitchen, this
was his dream, Webb
said. Norm has come
back again to help us ful-
fill Merle States dream of
a shelter. People are liv-
ing in their cars. We have
people living in tents. We
need to try and help out
where we can. Not only
feed the hungry, but shel-
ter them as well and help
them come out of home-
lessness. Thats our goal.
In the next five years,
Daily Bread Ministries
hopes to have 16 units,
West said. Four families is
only a dent, he said.
Were starting off with
four on the one shelter,
but then there will be
four more built under a
separate shelter, he said.
Were negotiating for
property next door.
The shelter, set to be op-
erational by February, still
needs more funding, West
said.
I dont want to beg for
money, but this money is
being used, he said. This
is going to impact the next
generation. When we bring
these families out of pov-
ertyTheir children are
not going to be in poverty.
You know what happens
in reverse.
Poverty is a generation-
al problem and perhaps we
can stop it, Webb said.

SIMULATION TRAINING
SESSION AT TECH
The Simulation Technol-
ogies and Training (STAT)
Center at Greenville Tech-
nical College welcomes stu-
dents from all of the col-
leges 17 health programs,
giving them a chance to
practice and perfect skills
on human patient simula-
tors before they work with
real patients on the job.
Many of these students
have never encountered
the simulators before they
enter the center, and they
are often surprised by the
lifelike appearance and
reactions of these high-
tech teaching tools.
Last week, the center
welcomed a visitor who
is very familiar with hu-
man patient simulators. In
fact, he invented the first
simulator for transtho-
racic echocardiography to
incorporate virtual real-
ity technology while work-
ing for a company he co-
founded, VIMEDIX Virtual
Medical Imaging Training
Systems.
That company was ac-
quired by CAE Healthcare
in 2010, where Dr. Rob-
ert Amyot now serves as
president. He and a team
from CAE spent a few days
at the STAT Center, watch-
ing simulators produced
by CAE and other vendors
in action.
The STAT Center at
Greenville Technical Col-
lege recently celebrated
five years in operation.
During that time, the cen-
ter has hosted over 900
classes and more than
17,000 student visits.
The facility includes
eight lifelike environ-
ments including an out-
door scene, indoor scene,
emergency room, labor
and delivery area, neona-
tal resuscitation, standard
patient room, operating
room, and specialty room.
Dr. Amyot and his team
watched as the STAT
team ran scenarios with
students and performed
debriefing to help the stu-
dents understand what
they had done right and
how they could improve.
The CAE team brought a
new product, the Fidelis
Lucina birthing simula-
tor, to demonstrate. This
model can give birth and
also be used for other non-
birthing simulations, mak-
ing it more versatile than
previous models.

THINGS
TO DO
Zac Efron in Neighbors
By Sam Struckhof
NEW RELEASES
FOR WEEK OF SEPT. 22
PICKS OF THE WEEK
Neighbors (R) -
- A young couple with a
bouncing baby daughter
(Seth Rogen and Rose By-
rne) lose their suburban
serenity when a rowdy
fraternity -- led by ma-
niacal, shirtless party-boy
Zac Efron -- takes over the
house next door. At first,
the hip mom and dad try
to be cool and party with
the frat boys, but then
quickly realize that they
cant possibly keep up
with the non-stop party
machine. Logical forms of
mediation soon fly out the
window, pitting the par-
ents against the partiers in
an escalating prank-war.
Rogen fits perfectly
into his role, as audiences
have seen him transition
from shiftless slacker to
reformed-but-still-casual
adulthood. Byrne is the
real surprise in the film,
displaying comedic chops
not seen since Brides-
maids. There are flashes
of clever humor, but most
of the gags are the shock-
ing and gross-out kind.
The Rover (R) -- Ban-
dits steal a mans car,
leaving him stranded in a
scorching wasteland. The
victim, Eric (Guy Pearce),
now has a bandit leaders
younger brother (Robert
Pattinson) and a plan to
get his car back. Its 10
years after the collapse of
society, and the Australian
outback isnt a good place
to wander around ... and
an even worse place to
make friends.
Director David Michod
plays his cards close to
the vest. Details about the
fall of society are scarce,
leaving a lot of that story-
telling to the barren set-
ting and the desperation
on the faces of the char-
acters. Pattinson delivers
a strong performance as
a lost, dimwitted young
man carrying a lot of loss
behind his eyes.
The Signal (PG-13) -
- Three college kids on a
road trip to California re-
ceive a message from NO-
MAD, a mysterious hacker
who challenges them to
come find him. Nic, Jo-
nah and Hailey (Brenton
Thwaites, Beau Knapp, Ol-
ivia Cooke) follow the trail
to a dusty corner of Ne-
vada, and then everything
changes. The trio is sepa-
rated, and Nic wakes up
in a strange facility where
he is interrogated by a
dead-pan man in a hazmat
suit (Laurence Fishburne).
From there, its a slowly
unraveling mystery with
science-fiction elements
creeping into the picture.
The final twists may not
be enough for some audi-
ences, but its an interest-
ing flick for a low-budget,
sci-fi headscratcher.
Very Good Girls (R) --
The friendship of two teen
girls is tested by romantic
rivalry when they become
interested in the same boy.
Lilly (Dakota Fanning) and
Gerri (Elizabeth Olsen) are
determined to lose their
virginity the summer be-
fore they start college, but
not in an American Pie
kind of way -- this movie
takes the pledge a bit more
seriously. Enter David
(Robert Boyd Holbrook), an
ice-cream-vending blond
with a knack for photogra-
phy. A love triangle forms,
and feelings get hurt. This
drama probably wont feel
authentic to younger audi-
ences, and may just bore
more mature crowds.

I
f you love animals
or nature, youll be
in heaven watching
Bears, the latest offer-
ing from Disneys new
documentary production
company. Fast-moving,
heartwarming and beauti-
fully shot, its a gripping
look at Americas most
majestic land animal in
Americas grandest wil-
derness.
Directed by Alastair
Fothergill and Keith Schol-
ey (the same team that
made the 2011 Disneyna-
ture predecessor, African
Cats), the film follows an
adult grizzly named Sky
and her two cubs, Amber
and Scout, through their
first year of life. Skys
goals are simple, but not
easy find food and keep
the two cubs alive. With
larger bears and other
opportunistic preda-
tors lurking nearby, the
mother must use every bit
of her wit, courage and
patience to get the family
to next winter.
The best reason to see
Bears is its breathtaking
cinematography. From
the grandiose helicopter
shots to the slow-motion
captures of bears chomp-
ing salmon in mid-air, it is
a beautiful film to watch.
The character develop-
ment is also superb, as
Fothergill and Scholey do
a good job illustrating the
different personalities of
the two cubs. Amber is
timid and clingy, while
Scout is more of a free
spirit occasionally a
little too independent for
his own good.
Even the predators, a
wolf named Tikaani and
two alpha grizzlies named
Chinook and Magnus, are
intimately captured and
sensitively portrayed.
The tales natural tension
is also carefully balanced
by lighter, more humor-
ous moments involving
the two cubs learning to
swim, hunt, climb and
play.
Bears is such a plea-
sure to watch that its
easy to forget its a G-
rated Disney flick target-
ed primarily towards kids.
As such, its frustratingly
simplistic at times and
suffers from a heavy dose
of goofiness. Narrator
John C. Reillys voice-over
jokes are corny as they
come, though thats more
the writers fault than his.
Like, African Cats,
Bears does a good job
humanizing some of the
worlds most awe-inspir-
ing apex predators. Like
lions, grizzlies can kill a
human in a matter of sec-
onds, but their impressive
physical prowess takes a
backseat here to the very
same emotions of wander,
love and fear with which
most viewers can identify.
Its a sweeping docu-
mentary, adventure, and
family movie all rolled
into one.

Rated: R for language and
adult themes
One of these days,
Thomas Hardy will prob-
ably win an Academy
award. In the meantime,
he seems to be honing his
talents in intense low-
budget dramas like this
one. In this tight novelty
of a film, the actor plays
Ivan Locke, a British
construction company big
wig with a loving family
and calm, logical demean-
or.
The foundation hes
worked his whole life
to build comes crashing
down when he learns a
woman he knocked up
is giving birth to his son
that evening. As he races
the two hours down the
interstate en route to the
delivery room, his damage
control talents are put to
the test. For 90 minutes,
he must juggle panicked
calls from his wife, sons,
work mates and baby
mama.
The entire movie takes
place inside Ivans BMW,
heightening its suffo-
cating, claustrophobic
feel. Writer/director
Stephen Knight (who did
the superior 2007 flick
Eastern Promises) keeps
the story zipping along in
real time, while the score
and dizzying cinema-
tography accentuate the
protagonists psychologi-
cal unraveling.
Few actors could carry it
all off the way Hardy does
here, in a performance
that students should
study for years to come.
The principal weakness
of Locke is that its
more character study than
actual story, and its hard
to care too much about
characters we hear but
never see. The repeated
rants that Ivan directs
towards his dead father
are more absurd than
revealing, putting a dent
in the films credibility.
But those flaws aside,
this is a worthy minimal-
ist showcase for Hardy,
who proves once again
hes one of Englands top
actors.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I
am 26 years old, 6 feet, 3
inches tall and weigh 290
pounds. About two years
ago, I had chest pain and
palpitations. I saw a cardi-
ologist, who performed an
echocardiogram. It showed
mild LVH and mild pulmo-
nary hypertension. I had
multiple EKGs, and my
doctor says I have a clean
bill of health. Are any of
the symptoms I have dan-
gerous, or am I overreact-
ing? -- J.A.
ANSWER: Chest pain
and palpitations -- such as
pounding, racing or flut-
tering heart -- are common
concerns that occasionally
represent serious heart
disease but often dont.
Its estimated that the av-
erage person has 500 or
so abnormal heartbeats a
day, and these can be felt
as palpitations. Chest pain
should raise the concern
for angina caused by heart
blockages, but that would
be extremely unusual in a
26-year-old.
The concern I have in
hearing about your echo
results is that they could
represent obstructive
sleep apnea. Left ventricu-
lar hypertrophy (LVH) is
the hearts response to
chronic stress, especially
to elevated blood pres-
sure, which is common in
sleep apnea. Pulmonary
hypertension has many
causes, but in someone
very overweight (your
body mass index, BMI, is
36.2, where obese is de-
fined as over 30), I have
to be concerned about
chronic low oxygen to the
lungs. There are many
people with sleep apnea
who arent diagnosed. I
would recommend a sleep
study. Certainly I recom-
mend careful checking of
your blood pressure, and
weight loss.
Heart disease remains
our No. 1 killer. The book-
let on clogged heart ar-
teries explains why they
happen and what can be
done to prevent clogging.

DEAR DR. ROACH: From
a blood test, how can I tell
if I am an insulin-depen-
dent Type 2 diabetic? For
instance, what would my
insulin or glucose read-
ings have to be? Secondly,
at what point would I have
to start taking medica-
tions? -- E.
ANSWER: Diabetes is
diagnosed with any of the
following: hemoglobin
A1c of 6.5 percent or high-
er; fasting blood sugar of
126 or higher; blood sugar
during a glucose toler-
ance test of 200 or greater
at two hours; or random
glucose of 200 or greater
in someone with classic
symptoms. In Type 1 dia-
betes, insulin levels are
very low, while in Type 2
they are normal or high.
Not everybody with dia-
betes needs medication.
Many people with Type 2
diabetes can be well-con-
trolled just with dietary
modification and often
weight loss, and almost ev-
erybody with diabetes can
improve with a better diet.
Medications usually are
given if the A1c is much
greater than 7 percent and
if diet, exercise and weight
loss efforts have been so
far inadequate.
In addition, medication
often can be stopped with
better control through life-
style. Insulin-dependent
Type 2 means just that
-- insulin is being used,
along with lifestyle and
often non-insulin medica-
tions.
Except in very rare in-
stances, everyone with
Type 1 diabetes needs in-
sulin.
Dr. Roach regrets that
he is unable to answer in-
dividual letters, but will
incorporate them in the
column whenever pos-
sible. Readers may email
questions to ToYourGood-

DEAR PAWS CORNER:
Both my dogs and my cat
are terrified by thunder-
storms, and they run, hide
under furniture, and howl
and yowl until the storm
passes. How can I stop
this behavior?
DEAR FRUSTRATED:
Fear and anxiety during
storms is a very common
issue among dogs and
cats, and not one that can
be easily or fully resolved.
However, there are steps
you can take to ease their
fear.
Keep an eye on weather
forecasts: note if a storm
is forecast, and what time
its likely to reach your
area.
About 30 minutes to
an hour before a storm
strikes (or as soon as pos-
sible ahead of the storm),
place your pets in a desig-
nated safe room -- one
that has their bedding,
toys, water and no large
furniture. If possible, it
shouldnt have a window;
if it does, put up heavy
curtains to block the light
from lightning flashes,
and add weather strip-
ping to reduce rattling. (A
closet or bathroom may
work, too.)
For the first few storms,
sit in the room with them.
Be very calm, and speak
in a calm voice. Cuddle
with your pets, feed them
a few treats if they dont
whine, and if they show
interest in their toys, play
with them.
Once theyre less fearful
using the safe room, re-
duce the time you spend
with them during storms.
Give them a treat when
the storm is over.
Dont treat storm-re-
lated anxiety as a disci-
plinary issue. Its an issue
of your pets needing to
feel secure from external
threats. If the method
above doesnt lessen
the issue, speak to their
veterinarian about other
ways to ease their anxiety.

be, Owens said. There
have been a lot of changes.
There was discipline then
in school. Most of us ad-
hered to it.
Owens recalls there be-
ing a lot more foot traffic
in the 1940s.
There were no bus
routes, so you would see
a lot of kids walking every
morning, he said. There
just werent that many
cars available either in the
40s. It was completely dif-
ferent from today.
Classmate Polly Wade
agreed, saying she used to
live in what seemed like
the middle of nowhere.
I thought we lived out
in the boondocks, but now
its right in the city, Wade
said. There was a peach
orchard right where I lived
[near Memorial Drive] and
I walked. There were dirt
roads and it seemed like it
was really out in the boon-
docks.
The instruction was dif-
ferent then, too.
The instruction was a
bit different, Owens said.
We didnt have many
things to choose from be-
cause you had a bunch of
core subjects and thats
what you took. There
werent electives like they
have today.
You usually read the
Bible in schoolthe teach-
er did, he said. Thats
something you cant do
today.
Athletics have also
changed through the
years.
The athletic equipment
we had was primitive com-
pared to what they have
today, he said. We had
a good basketball team
because all the mills had
YMCAs that fed into Greer
High School.
Owens played football.
He joked that he was too
small, but played any-
way.
At that time, the war
was going on and all the
big boys had gone into
the service, he said. The
little fellas were still there,
but it was fun.
The class graduated dur-
ing a time of war and con-
flict.
The Korean conflict
came along and some of
us were in World Wart II,
he said. I was in the Navy,
but I got in on the tail end
of it.
Talking to his classmates
last Thursday, Owens said
it would be the last re-
union for a while.
We had a good class,
he said.
