Commercial and resi-
dential construction in
Greer appears to be on the
upswing compared to pre-
vious years.
Greers commercial con-
struction year-to-date has
reached its highest valu-
ation since 2011, equal-
ing more than $26.4 mil-
lion--the highest January
through July totals in past
four years.
This years commercial
construction exceeded
2013s January through
July totals by about $4
million. By July of 2013,
nearly $22 million in com-
mercial construction oc-
curred. In July of 2012,
$20.1 million in commer-
cial construction occurred
and, by July of 2011, only
about $8.2 million in com-
mercial construction had
occurred.
In July, single-family
housing starts surpassed
2013s year-end total. As
of July, year-to-date there
have been 140 single-fam-
ily housing starts with 22
beginning in the month.
Last year, a total of 137
single-family housing
starts occurred. With five
months of housing starts
to be added to the total
this year, it is likely the
number of single-family
housing starts in 2014 will
exceed the 173 single-fam-
ily housing start total of
2012.
The valuations for this
years single-family hous-
ing starts equals about
$21.4 million, compared
with 2013s approximate
$11.1 million.
In August, the eight
permits issued equaled
$32,372.50 in commer-
cial permit fees, and 51
residential permits is-
sued equaled $26,471 in
residential permit fees.
Including miscellaneous,
mechanical, residential
and commercial permits. A
total of 210 permits were
issued in August, equaling
$88,677.50 in permit fees.
Officials say 782 inspec-
tions were conducted.
Charged in
Donald Harper
Jr. shooting
BY PHIL BUCHHEIT
STAFF WRITER
Two men have been ar-
rested and charged after a
Greer man was murdered
Friday night on E. Poinsett
Street Ext. in Greer.
Keylan Dejuan Mc-
Clintock, 20, of 919 Old
Canaan Road, Spartan-
burg, has been charged
with murder and Sandino
Edward Jackson, 22, of
1629 E. Poinsett Street Ext.,
Greer, has been charged
with assault and battery
of a high and aggravated
nature.
The arrests come after
Donald Travis Harper Jr.
was found shot multiple
times Friday night.
According to the Spar-
tanburg County Sheriffs
Office, a deputy was dis-
patched to 1631 E. Poinsett
St. Ext. at approximately
7:52 p.m. that night in ref-
erence to a fight in prog-
ress.
Police say when the offi-
cer arrived, he saw a crowd
of people gathered around
a white male victim later
identified as Donald Tra-
vis Harper Jr. Reports
said Harper was laying on
the ground unconscious
and bleeding.
Harper died during
transport to Spartanburg
Regional Hospital.
Harpers wife, Nicole
Harper, told Fox Carolina
the incident started when
her husband discovered
his stolen go-cart at a
neighbors house. Harper
went to confront his neigh-
bor (Jackson) about the
stolen go-cart and, after
Jackson threatened Harp-
ers wife, the two men be-
gan fighting. While the two
were fighting, McClintock
appeared and shot Harper,
according to police.
McClintock and Jackson
were both transported to
the Spartanburg County
Jail. They are both being
held without bond.
The incident is still be-
ing investigated.
Greer
man
killed
by train
BY BILLY CANNADA
EDITOR
An Eastbound train
struck a Greer man Sat-
urday afternoon between
Poinsett Street and Moore
Street Extension, killing
him.
Officials identified the
victim as 49-year-old,
James Martin Bruton of
Greer.
According to incident
reports, first responders
were dispatched to the
area after a call came in
regarding the incident.
The Greenville County
Coroner was notified
shortly after the officers
arrived. According to po-
lice, an officer spoke with
the engineer of the train,
who said the train was
traveling eastbound at 47
miles per hour when the
victim crossed a spur line
rail that leads into the in-
land port.
Lt. Jim Holcombe said
the train did not appear to
be at fault.

Since residents voted in
favor of changing Lymans
government to council
form, Mayor Rodney Turn-

the change, has been ab-
sent from council meet-
ings.
Other town employees
have been terminated or
resigned.
SLED and FBI opened an
investigation into illegal
video and audio recording
and wiretapping, which is
a federal offense, in Ly-

Initially placed on unpaid

The Blood Connection,
Inc. (TBC) recently an-
nounced it would promote
Brian Madden to executive
vice president of opera-
tions.
I am pleased to an-
nounce Brians appoint-
ment which includes a
broader corporate-wide
focus on business develop-
ment, marketing and pub-
lic relations, in addition
to overseeing daily opera-
tions, said President and
CEO Delisa English. Brian
has dedicated his career
to supporting the com-
munity blood supply by
managing important pro-
cesses that help us fulfill
our mission. Whether he
is working with donor re-
lations, technical services
or simply donating blood
at a blood drive, his com-
mitment to this organiza-
tion and its purpose is ex-
emplary.
Madden began his blood
banking career as a phle-
botomist at Greenville
Hospital System before
joining The Blood Connec-
tion hospital services.
Several positions in
manufacturing followed
as he learned the process-
es and technical services
necessary to monitor and
manufacture blood prod-
ucts.
Then, in 2002, Madden
was named Executive Di-
rector of Biologics and
Technical Services, manag-
ing The Blood Connection
state-of-the-art storage,
processing and distribu-
tion center.
In 2003, Madden was
named chief operations of-
ficer. He has since helped
lead the construction of
five donor collection cen-
ters, one acquisition, and
successfully integrated
three new hospitals as full-
service customers, giving
more patients access to
vital blood products.
Most recently, he led a
new business expansion
into Western North Caro-
lina to serve a broader
community and a greater
number of patients in
need of blood. He also
increased activities in the
North Carolina region to
self-sustaining levels with-
in the first 15 months of
expansion.
Madden earned a Bache-
lor of Science in biology at
Erskine College, followed
by a Bachelor of Science
in medical technology at
the Medical University of
South Carolina. He re-
ceived a Master of Busi-
ness Administration in
management and strategy
from Western Governors
University.
The Blood Connection
is well-positioned to serve
the needs of patients in
new communities and I
am enthusiastic about the
opportunities ahead, said
Madden. Im looking for-
ward to my expanded role,
and I remain dedicated to
fulfilling a vital mission
that supports the commu-
nity blood supply.

Wellford council amend-
ed a zoning ordinance for
a new zoning classifica-
tion passed earlier this
year. The amendment to
the R-2B zoning changes
allow for houses to be
built on smaller lots. When
the new zoning was intro-
duced, the setbacks were
not changed to match the
smaller lot sizes permit-
ted.
Under the amendment
passed, residential setback
requirements changed
from 25 feet in the front,
10 feet on the sides and
30 feet on the rear of
property to 20 feet in the
front, 5 feet on the sides
and 15 feet in the rear of
property.
The zoning amendment
was proposed as a result of
a mulit-phase housing de-
velopment that had been
approved under a previ-
ous council. Because of the
newly established zoning
parameters, the second
phase of the development
was prevented from mov-
ing forward without the
setback changes.
The amendment to the
zoning ordinance was the
only action Wellford Coun-
cil took during the Sept. 2
meeting.
The Wellford Police De-
partment reported that,
in August, the department
received 541 calls for ser-
vices and handled 376
cases. In addition, the de-
partment participated in
Hands Across the Border,
a joint effort with law en-
forcement from Alabama,
Tennessee, North Caro-
lina and South Carolina
to conduct road checks.
In September the depart-
ment will participate in
the Drive Program.
A special called meeting
for Wellford will be Sept.
9 at 7 p.m. and the next
regularly scheduled City
of Wellford council meet-
ing is Oct. 7 at 6 p.m. at

Local officials and vet-
erans were on hand last
Friday to celebrate the
unveiling of the Veter-
ans Corridor of Honor, a
12-mile stretch of road on
Interstate 385 recognizing
six 20th and 21st century
wars.
Greer resident Lewis
Vaughn, who served in
the U.S. Army during the
Korean War, used his past
experience as a state law-
maker to help push the
project through to a reso-
lution earlier this year.
Along with other mem-
bers of the Korean War
Veterans Association,
Vaughn pitched the idea
in Columbia, suggesting
that each two miles honor
a different war.
The wars recognized are
World War I, World War II,
the Vietnam War, the Ko-
rean War, the Persian Gulf
War and all the Undeclared
Wars.
Its taken on a life of its
own and has turned out
really great, Vaughn said.
The state House and
Senate passed a resolu-
tion calling for the South
Carolina Department of
Transportation to fulfill
the request in May.
We have to give a lot
of credit to our Greenville
County legislative delega-
tion, said Vaughn, who
served 18 years in the
state House and two years
in the state Senate. Rep.
Mike Burns, Sen. Tom
Corbin and Sen. Mike Fair
shepherded it through
the General Assembly at
record speed. I spent 20
years down there, and
things just dont happen
that fast. This one hap-
pened fast.
The signs, costing
around $250 each, were
not paid for with state
money.
The (SCDOT) wouldnt
pay for the signs. Theyre
not allowed to pay for
stuff like that, Vaughn
said. The Korean War Vet-
erans Association raised
the money and has come
up with about $4,000 to
pay for the signs. We just
got out there and raised
the money, and it didnt
take long to do it.
For Korean War veter-
ans, Vaughn said these
monuments will hold spe-

The Korean War was
known as a forgotten
war, he said. It was not
identified as a war until
recently. For Korean War
veterans, it will be great
because they are now be-
ginning to get recognition
they have not had in the
60 years since the war.

eres the deal: if youre going to be
nekkid and take what could end
up potentially being agonizingly
embarrassing photographs of yourself,
you really cant be too surprised when
they end up in the hands of others.
Or a few million others.
Its not that I am giving any sort of
free pass to the slimy hackers that
recently pilfered through the storage
computer clouds of celebrities, in
various states of undress and behavior,
and revealed them for financial gain, its
just that, even if you had photographs
locked up in a desk or a safe at your
home, there is still always the chance
that someone, anyone, could find and
steal them: a common thief, your kids, a
divorce attorney...
So maybe decide against that tipsy,
spur-of-the-moment madness involving
a sombrero and Nutella.
Really.
Yes, its your private life and yes, you
should be able to document any event
you like, but what are you going to do
with those shots, anyway?
Pull them out on your wedding an-
niversary, in a few years time, to prove
to yourselves you once actually were
happy-go-lucky and spontaneous?
Or savor the 28 waistline before the
twins?
Sure, its nice to have a record of how
you looked in the halcyon days of youth
and strength.
When Lauren Bacall passed away, each
obituary I read showed her at her siz-
zling best: the smoky eyes, the cascading
river of hair framing her face.
But luckily, as she and Bogie were
together before the invention of Pola-
roid, there was no temptation to record
any particular exploits they might have
fancied.
Perhaps some quick sketches, but I
doubt either one was much of a doodler.
And how nice for the rest of us that
both of them will only be remembered
in a sort of gossamer haze of timeless
glamour and elegance.
Then theres Rihanna.
Shes just one of dozens of celebrities
whose privacy was compromised after
this targeted attack although, frankly,
most of Rihanna can already be seen
from the countless selfies and insta-
grams that she has already personally
released.
And Mrs Kardashian-West, who insists
we see close-ups of her at the pool,
featuring her ample derriere in a thong,
which, to me, always look like shes sit-
ting on the heads of two, bald men, cant
be terribly embarrassed, can she?
By the way, Kim, just because a thong
is a size XXL doesnt mean one must feel
compelled to wear it (Id like a saucer of
milk, please).
Boy, am I delighted there are no lurid
photographs of me to be found--and
relieved.
Because, besides the fact that there
were no such things as camera phones
during the most hectic time of my life on
the road, with friends I hear were later
paroled, Im not someone who ever felt
particularly proud enough of my body to
have anyone record it wrapped around a
dancers pole.
In fact, there would be little difference
between the two.
And if I had done such a thing, believe
me, even if my face was covered, I would
be sweating bullets right now.
The thought of possibly being mistak-
en for Keith Richards, is horrifying.

In Gods
presence
Read Psalm 73:23-28
C
ome near to God and he will
come near to you. - James
4:8 (NIV)
As my parents age, they
are becoming more and more
dependent on my help. I do
what I can, but it is not easy
since I work and have respon-
sibilities in my own immediate
family as well. Because life
has become such a struggle
for Mom and Dad, our every
visit or phone conversation has
become focused on the next list
of requests they have for me.
Sometimes I feel I have merely
become a facilitator of all their
needs. Im happy to help as
much as I can, but I miss just
chatting and laughing and do-
ing things together the way we
used to.
This may be how God feels
when I pray only when I have
a list of requests. I know that
God cares about my needs, and
I often mention them in prayer.
But I very seldom pray to wor-
ship and be near God. I regret
looking to God merely as a fa-
cilitator of requests. More and
more I am realizing that God
wants more than my requests;
God wants my heart.
Thought for the day: Today I
will treasure my time with God.
Prayer: Dear Lord, reignite
our hearts with love for you.
Remind us that our times of
communion together can be
not only about our needs but
about spending time with you.
Amen.
The benefits of shopping locally cant be over-
stated.
When we spend our money at locally owned
businesses, were often reinvesting in our com-
munity. The dollars spent at local stores, shops,
restaurants, garages and other businesses tend
to remain in local circulation, boosting the local
economy and keeping many people in jobs.
Various studies have tried to quantify the
benefit. The York County Regional Chamber
of Commerce estimates that 45 cents of every
dollar spent at a local business stays within a
community, compared to just 15 cents of every
dollar spent at national chains and other non-
local businesses.
And when we support our local businesses,
they often return the favor by giving back to the
community. They sponsor little league teams,
form partnerships with local schools and sup-
port civic groups. Some national chains do that
too, but one report I read recently concluded
that nonprofit organizations receive about 250
percent more support from small or local busi-
nesses than from large businesses or national
chains.
Many people think of economic development
as being outside investment by big-name man-
ufacturers or national chains. And certainly,
those larger businesses have their place. But
small businesses are the driving force behind
our local, state and national economies--ac-
counting for more than 6 out of every 10 jobs
in the U.S.
With that in mind, here are a few easy ways we
can all help our hometown businesses thrive:
1. Eat at locally owned restaurants. If you dine
out frequently, make an extra effort to visit lo-
cal, family-run establishments. In Greer, its no
secret that some of the most delicious food can
be found at our smaller mom-and-pop restau-
rants. And these places are more likely to offer
great customer service because they know how
vital local patrons are to their success.
2. Network when you visit local stores. If
youre trying to drum up a little business your-
self, shopping locally can be great for network-
ing. Whether youre a salesman trying to spread
the word about a product, or a hair stylist want-
ing new clients, introduce yourself to the owner
or manager whenever you visit a local business.
Leave a business card if you have one. Theyll
sometimes reciprocate if they need a service
you offer.
3. Try to pick up a copy of your towns com-
munity newspaper each week. Local newspa-
pers strengthen the communities they serve by
spotlighting positive, local news and connect-
ing us with our neighbors. They also provide
an affordable way for small businesses, which
often lack large advertising budgets, to get out
the word about what they have to offer. (If you
decide to patronize one of these advertisers,
make sure to mention you saw their ad in the
local paper!)
4. For a night out, consider local sports or
cultural events. Whether youre planning a date,
a get-together with friends or a night out with
family, why not check to see if one of your ar-
eas high school or college sports teams has a
game scheduled? Or consider a play, concert or
some other cultural event. This can be a fun and
inexpensive way to support your community.
5. Visit your local farmers market. We all need
fruit and vegetables, and the local produce sold
at a farmers market are often the freshest and
tastiest available. Shopping at a local farmers
market or the State Farmers Market in Colum-
bia supports family farmers.
6. Share your experience. If you have a good
experience with a local business, tell your
friends and neighbors. Share it on social media.
Because they operate on tight budgets, many lo-
cal businesses rely on word-of-mouth to help
them gain new customers.
Many of these businesses are run by people
working to build their own piece of the Ameri-
can dream. Some invest their life savings into
their business. But competition from national
chains represents a tall challenge, and, sadly,
over half of all small businesses fail within five
years of opening.
If you stop to think about it, even a modest
shift in our personal spending habits can help
level the playing field for small businesses--and
improve our communities as well.

Protections
lacking
A
fter the video of Ray Rice
allegedly abusing his
finance was released, the
cold, victim-blaming reality of
domestic abuse has dominated
new outlets. Unfortunately,
S.C.s lack of protections make
it the second deadliest state in
the country for women who are
victims of domestic violence.
Initially I was surprised, but
then my roommate and I went
to the police station to file
harassment charges in hopes
of grasping at some sense of
security. The blatant absence of
caring on the faces of the two
men at the station washed away
any hopes we had for a legal
route of protection.
My roommates ex sent nearly
50 unanswered texts daily,
emails, phone calls and pur-
chased a second phone with
an unrecognizable number, in
addition to unexpected visits to
our house at night, purposely
stopping at public places where
he saw her vehicle, showing up
at her work and causing prop-
erty damage at our house. What
finally pushed us through the
doorway of the police station
were threatening texts toward
her boyfriend with his address.
The police said because she
hadnt specifically told him to
cease contact it wasnt harass-
ment and we were told to get a
concealed weapons permit. The
very individuals tasked with
protecting us literally told us to
protect ourselves.
About 67 percent of gun own-
ers own guns for protection, but
there is no credible evidence
that owning a gun reduces
the risk of being victimized.
According to an investigative re-
port published by the Post and
Courier, nearly seven out of 10
of the 300 women killed in the
past decade by a partner were
killed with guns. In tears, my
roommate left the police sta-
tion feeling helpless and more
unprotected than ever.
A piece of paper and short jail
times do little to protect indi-
viduals in domestic abuse situ-
ations. About 36,000 domestic
abuse incidents are reported
annually. Animal abusers can
serve up to five years for their
crimes, while someone who
beats their partner one first
offense only serves a maximum
of 30 days in jail. South Caro-
lina needs to implement longer
jail sentences, rehabilitation
programs, early intervention
measures and laws that prohibit
issuing firearms to convicted
abusers.
I regret looking to God
merely as a facilitator of
requests.

To the editor,
I was glad to see you are
addressing the FOIA (Free-
dom of Information Act)
as it is ignored in South
Carolina.
A few years ago, the
University of South Caro-
lina Upstate did some-
thing rather suspicious
by awarding a contract to
Office Max to outsource
its printing. I tried, in vain,
to contact Vice Chancellor
Skul about the irregulari-
ties without reply. When
I finally did confront her,
she refused to even ac-
knowledge me.
In that time, I filed 17
FOI requests and, although
I even contacted both the
USC chancellor and legal
department in Columbia,
my FOI requests were nev-
er replied to except from
the campus police, who
sent me the record of their
illegal threat ordering me
off campus.
What was strange about
the award to Office Max is
that it never was advertised
until after the fact, leading
me to have a strong suspi-
cion that Office Max actu-
ally wrote the specs. There
was never a study of costs
v. benefit (value analysis).
Having started my career
in procurement, I real-
ized there was something
really underhand being
perpetrated by the admin-
istration. Ms. Skuls office
also issued, after the fact,
a scathing evaluation of
their printing department,
which a year earlier and for
many years prior, received
high praise from the vice
chancellors office.
The purchasing agent at
USC Upstate quit suddenly
and I was able to talk to him
before he quit. He claimed
that the whole scheme
went around his office, in
disregard of all laws and
procedures. I contacted
the Attorney Generals of-
fice only to learn that the
Attorney Generals office
does not protect the pub-
lic. It only exists to defend
state employees from law-
suits. There is much more
to this story, but it would
take the whole page to
print it all.
Good luck on reforming
South Carolinas FOI Act.
You are up against a cadre
of legal criminals.

Q: My husband and
I have been living on a
budget for a few months,
and for some reason there
seems to be leaks in our
budget. Its just a few dol-
lars here and there, but
added together it makes
a huge dent. Can you give
us some advice?
DR: This kind of thing
happens a lot in house-
hold budgeting, especially
to folks who are new to
the game. Here are some
ideas to help stretch your
dollars and plug those
leaks.
Use the cash-only
method, especially when
shopping for groceries.
Take only the amount you
have budgeted, and dont
use your debit card or a
check. Also, use coupons
only for items you would
buy anyway. You can also
stock up on items you use
often when there is a big
sale. These little things
will add up.
Try eating out only on
special occasions, drink
water as your beverage
and dont be afraid to use
coupons in restaurants.
When it comes to buy-
ing clothes, make a habit
of checking out the sale
rack first. You can shop
at thrift and consign-
ment stores, and sell the
clothes you dont wear
anymore.
With entertainment, use
dollar-off and buy-one-
get-one-free coupons
whenever you can. See a
matinee or a second-run
movie, and if youre going
somewhere with a bunch
of people, call ahead and
ask for a group discount.
Youll be amazed at how
much money these tactics
will save.

meeting for local residents at Georges Brick Oven Bistro.

issued for the search of
Turners and Johnsons
homes. The Greer Citizen
requested the search war-
rants, but was told they
are not currently public
record. According to a
SLED representative, there
are currently no charges
against Johnson or Turner.
Once SLED completes the
investigation, the informa-
tion will be presented to
the state attorney, solici-
tors office or the prose-
cutors offices, depending
what is found. The office
that reviews the informa-
tion will determine the
charges, if any.
Wyatt announced during
Monday nights meeting
that Turner advised coun-
cil he was out for medical
reasons, but Wyatt said
he was not given reasons
for Turners absence from
previous meetings.
I dont want to specu-
late as to why, Wyatt said.
He did communicate to us
last night that there were
medical issues and he has
been on medical leave. The
other meetings he really
didnt offer an explanation
and you would have to ask
him about that.
According to Jeff Shack-
er, with the Municipal
Association, there is no
law that requires mayors
to be present at council
meetings. Furthermore,
the only way a mayor, be-
ing an elected official, can
be removed from office is
if the governor chooses to
remove them because they
violated the section of the
state code of laws that
governs municipalities.
The governor can also re-
move a mayor if they are
convicted of a felony crime
of moral turpitude.
Terry Richards resigned
from his position as police
chief following councils
receipt of a letter accusing
Richards of an affair along
with other allegations. Lt.
Jay Hayes is serving as in-
terim police chief.
A young lady delivered
[a letter] to the town It
details information about
accusations related to the
chief, related to an extra-
marital affair, Wyatt said.
SLED is investigation the
allegations against Rich-
ards, which Wyatt said
to his knowledge isnt in
connection with an ongo-
ing investigation being
conducted by SLED and
the FBI regarding illegal
recordings in Lyman Town
Hall.
In addition to Johnsons
termination and Richards
resignation, another offi-
cer was terminated on Aug.
29, a part-time employee
in the Streets Department
resigned and a part-time
Police Department office
position was eliminated.
Wyatt said the employees
who were terminated or
who have resigned are not
connected to the illegal re-
cordings investigation.
Theres been turnover
in town employees since
the election Please keep
in mind that the town is
an at-will employer, which
means that both the town
as the employer and the
employee can terminate
the employee relationship
at any time for any reason,
or for no reason at all.
All employees know this
when they go to work for
the town, Wyatt said in
a statement at the council
meeting.
At the council meeting,
council approved a motion
amending an ordinance re-
lating to the form of gov-
ernment and powers of
mayor and council. The
amendment gives a coun-
cil member signature and
banking authority. Coun-
cilmember Daisy Carter
was nominated as the
councilmember with that
authority.
Council also passed the
first reading of an ordi-
nance relating to the pre-
siding officer at council
meetings as well an amend-
ment for an ordinance to
add a fourth council per-
son to the Policy and Per-
sonnel Committee.
The next regularly
scheduled Lyman Town
Council meeting is Oct. 6
at 6 p.m. at Lyman Town
Hall. It was mention that a
special called meeting may
be held prior to then.

police that investigate

The engineer told po-

and it appeared as if he
was going to wait until
the train passed, but in-

the tracks.
Greer police have seen
others struck by trains in
the past.
Weve probably had
four [pedestrians hit by
a train] in the last six or
seven years, he said. I
think its been about eight
months or so, but one oc-
curred up further toward
the Century B area. Its not
very common, but it does
occur for some reason.
I dont know why, but it
does.
Holcombe said the area
where the incident on Sat-
urday occurred was on a
straight away.
Where that one was, its
a nice, long straight away.
[Im not sure] how you
dont see a train is com-
ing. Its not like its com-
ing around a curve, he
said. People need to pay
attention to it.
Greer Police encourage
caution to anyone cross-
ing the tracks.
The tracks themselves
are no trespassing zones.
You shouldnt be walking
along the tracks, Hol-
combe said. People still
do it, but you shouldnt
be on the tracks. If youre
crossing them, its just
like crossing a roadway
you have to make sure you
look both ways and cross
as quickly as possible.

BY KATIE CRUICE SMITH
FOR THE GREER CITIZEN
On Sept. 16, Greenville
resident, Dan Cruver, will
be honored, along with
about 140 other people, as
an Angel in Adoption in an
awards ceremony in Wash-
ington, D.C. The event will
be followed by a gala on
Sept. 17.
Cruver is being recog-
nized for his work in advo-
cating orphan care around
the world through the or-
ganization he co-founded,
Together for Adoption.
It all began when Cru-
ver and his wife, Melissa,
had their second child,
Daniel. Although Melissas
pregnancy was normal,
just 13 hours after Daniel
was born, he began hav-
ing seizures, ending up in
the neonatal intensive care
unit where doctors could
not seem to figure out
what was happening.
When Daniel began to
have between 40 to 70
seizures a day, the Cru-
vers were sent for further
observation at Duke Uni-
versity Medical Center,
then to Philadelphia, and
finally to Johns Hopkins
Hospital.
But no one could seem
to figure out how to help
the Cruvers son.
We were told that the
chances were 25 percent
that our next child would
have the same condition,
said Dan.
Thats when the Cru-
vers started to seriously
consider adoption. They
adopted their son, Isaiah,
when Daniel was 2 years
old, and their daughter,
Hannah, was 5 years old.
The Cruvers thought that
Daniel would live into his
teens, but five weeks af-
ter his third birthday, he
passed away.
Daniels suffering and
our inability to find treat-
ment helped us to think
of other children in the
world who are suffering,
said Cruver. There are
children suffering without
parents and the love and
support of a family.
A year after Daniel died,
the Cruvers added Noah
to their family, but their
journey into adoption was
only just beginning.
In 2005 and 2006, Cru-
ver served on two mission
trips to a Chinese orphan-
age and began to wonder
what more he could do.
I began to ask, How
could we better equip peo-
ple? said Cruver. To-
gether for Adoption was
born out of the suffering
of our second biological
child not just sympathiz-
ing but emphasizing as
well.
Together for Adoption
or T4A began in 2008
when Cruver was ap-
proached by a friend at the
Abba Fund (an adoption
assistance organization)
to speak at a conference in
Greenville on the theology
of adoption and orphan
care. There were 175 peo-
ple at the first conference,
so the idea was formed
to do another conference
somewhere else.
Orphan care and the
adoption movement in
evangelicalism started
growing in leaps and
bounds 10 years ago, said
Cruver, who was a pastor
for several years and a col-
lege professor of Bible and
theology. But the move-
ment wasnt rooted in bib-
lical text and theology like
it should be in order to be
sustainable for the long
haul. We are dealing with
140 to 150 million orphans
who have lost at least one
parent, plus different
country problems and the
stigma of at-risk children.
We need to see the church
more engaged.
After the initial confer-
ence, Cruver was intro-
duced to Scotty Smith,
who is the pastor of Steven
Curtis Chapman, Christian
music artist and founder
of Show Hope, an organi-
zation that promotes the
care of orphans.
In 2009, 650 people at-
tended the conference at
Christ Community Church
in Franklin, Tennessee.
We decided that we
wanted to do a confer-
ence every year, said
Cruver. Next we were in
Texas, and it was there
we broke the 1,000 mark.
At that point, we decided
we wanted to partner with
churches and non-profits
in other countries in order
to provided training [for
orphan care].
The first T4A interna-
tional conference was held
in Melbourne, Australia,
where, according to Cru-
ver, there is a very nega-
tive view of adoption.
We focused on what
Scripture teaches about
adoption, said Cruver.
There were almost 200
people there.
In addition to speak-
ing at the T4A confer-
ences, Cruver also wrote
four chapters of a book
in collaboration with John
Piper, Scotty Smith, Rich-
ard D. Phillips, and Jason
Kovacs to promote adop-
tion awareness called Re-
claiming Adoption: Mis-
sional Living Through the
Discovery of Abba Father.
The book was translated
into Amharic for Ethiopian
pastors in 2011.
Cruver has also part-
nered with World Orphans
in training pastors and
churches to help the or-
phans in their own coun-
try. Just three months
after the 2010 earthquake
in Haiti, Cruver held a
three-day training session
with 10 Haitian churches
to help equip them to care
for the orphans there.
In 2012, he traveled with
World Orphans to Nica-
ragua, and he held a T4A
conference in South Africa
in 2013.
It was neat to see how
it was resonating not just
with Christians in the U.S.
but across the globe, said
Cruver. People are rising
up and adopting orphans
in their own countries.
World Orphans places
children with families in
their churches. There are
no orphanages [in some
of these countries]. The
church is taking it on;
families are not isolated
and alone.
On Oct. 17-18, T4A is
coming back to where it
started. The 2014 confer-
ence will be held at First
Baptist Church in Simp-
sonville.
This year, we are ad-
dressing the tough issues
the movement has faced
over the years, said Cru-
ver. We are looking at
orphan prevention, foster
care, and how to equip the
church.
In addition to Cruvers
session, thirty-minute ses-
sions will be presented
by Brandon Hatmaker,
co-founder or Restore
Communities; Dr. Eliza-
beth Bartholet, Harvard
law professor; Dr. John
Sowers, president of The
Mentoring Project; Jedd
Medefind, president of
Christian Alliance for Or-
phans; and Jason Kovacs,
co-founder of T4A. Ten-
minute sessions will also
be presented.
We have 30 to 50 ex-
hibitors who have the
reputation of strong, ethi-
cal practices, said Cruver.
We will have workshops
and breakout session to
get [pastors] to plug into
their church. Once mem-
bers get a hold of this, then
people are equipped to do
orphan care, and the pas-
tors dont have to cham-
pion it themselves. We cut
through all the noise to
help the [churchs] people
do well with a ministry
like this.
Cruver was nominated
by Senator Tim Scott to re-
ceive the Angels in Adop-
tion award, which was
first awarded in 1999 at a
Congressional press con-
ference.
The Angels in Adoption
program is CCAIs sig-
nature public awareness
campaign and provides an
opportunity for all mem-
bers of the U.S. Congress
to honor the good work
of their constituents who
have enriched the lives
of foster children and or-
phans in the United States
and abroad, according
to a press release issued
from the Congressional
Coalition on Adoption In-
stitute. Each year, more
than 140 angels are hon-
ored through the Angels
in Adoption program.
Cruver is already mak-
ing plans for the future of
T4A. He is already work-
ing with Summit Church in
Raleigh, North Carolina, in
planning a conference for
2015. He is also meeting
with the World Orphans
president to talk about a
future international trip
to India. But for Cruver,
that is short-term. He is
hoping to be able to equip
the churches to care for
orphans for the next 50
years.
I am most excited about
the award exposing what
T4A is doing, said Cru-
ver. Well see what fruit
comes with that.

ence in Greenville, visit to-

Farr wins
grand prize
Tatertot Farr is the
grand prize winner in the
Greer Community Minis-
tries (GCM) Pet Photo Con-
test for Meals on Wheels
(MOW). Tatertot was one
of 16 entries in the contest
that was created to bring
awareness to the need for
pet food donations for
Meals on Wheels clients in
the Greater Greer area.
Category winners were
also named: Best Dressed:
Gracie Posey, Best Action
Shot: Duke Ruffle, Looks
like Owner: Chief and
Austin Ashmore, Pets are

Facebook winners: Samp-
son and Emma Sobolews-
ki.

cards to Pet Smart, free
nail trim from Dog Gone
Beautiful, and doggie day
care and overnight stays
at Wood Ruff Pet Re-
sort will be given to win-
ners. All contestants can

tributed to local Meals on
Wheels clients with pets.
We are pleased with
the results of our first Pet

Two Duncan men were
arrested last week after
breaking into a house on
River Falls Drive, Duncan.
Dustin Robert Pollard, 18,
of 106 S. Lakeview Drive,
Duncan and Luke Patrick
Carter, 18, of 174 River
Falls Drive, Duncan, have
both been charged with
second degree burglary.
reports obtained from
the Spartanburg County
Sheriffs Office, deputies
responded to River Falls
Drive when a concerned
citizen, who was walk-
ing in the neighborhood,
called 911 after seeing two
suspicious males, wearing
bandanas covering their
noses and mouths and
carrying backpacks, run
from the rear area of a res-
idence on River Falls Drive.
When deputies arrived on
scene they spoke with the
citizen who had called 911
and she informed them
both subjects had run into
the woods.
Deputies used a K9 to
search the area and even-
tually located one of the
subjects inside the Ingles
grocery store on Highway
290 and the other subject
was located behind the
store. Both Pollard and
Carter were arrested and
transported to the Spar-
tanburg County Detention
Center.
The victim whose house
had been broke into told
a deputy he was upstairs
when he heard the door-
bell ring and heard his
dogs bark.
The victim thought it
was his sister, who had re-
turned to the house after
forgetting something. He
then, however, heard what
he described as fiddling
at the kitchen door and
heard the kitchen door
open. The victim heard
one of the suspects yell
out, Is anyone home.
When the victim respond-
ed, both men ran out of
the kitchen door.
Schools in Spartanburg
District Five were notified
about the incident and de-
cided to go into lock down
until the suspects were lo-
cated and arrested.
I doubt the situation
would have been resolved
so quickly and safely if
not for her quick thinking
and action, said Lt. Kevin
Bobo with the Spartanburg
County Sheriffs Office.
Bobo stressed the impor-
tance of neighborhoods
staying active with neigh-
borhood watch programs
as a means to preventing
and solving crimes.
He said neighborhoods
often become passionate
about having an effective
neighborhood watch after
a crime is committed in
their neighborhood, but
after an amount of time
goes by without further
crime, the neighborhood
often becomes compla-
cent.
Most neighborhood
watch programs flair up
after a crime but then end
up going stagnant. People
get busy, complacent and
in a routine. We (The Spar-
Office) encourage neigh-
bors to share information
with each other through
ways such as an email
chain, said Bobo.
Though the natural per-
ception is that citizens
usually do dial 911 when
they see a crime being
committed or have infor-
mation regarding a crime,
Bobo said that unfortu-
nately often times this is
not the case.
People use fear of retal-
iation as an excuse for not
giving us information, he
said.
Bobo said in his numer-
ous years of law enforce-
ment work, he has rarely,
if ever, seen any cases in
which retaliation for pro-
viding information ever
occurred.
INMAN MAN FACES
MULTIPLE CHARGES
An Inman man is be-
hind bars facing serious
charges after authorities
said he broke into a for-
mer coworkers home and
then held her against her
will while sexually assault-
ing her.
Robbie Randall Robin-
son, 50, of 5471 New Cut
Road, Inman, was charged
with first degree criminal
sexual conduct, kidnap-
ping and first degree bur-
glary.
According to The Spar-
Office, a deputy was dis-
patched to a home in Boil-
ing Springs on Sunday
afternoon around 2:30
p.m. in reference to rape.
Upon arrival, the officer
met with the victim, who
stated Robinson, a former
co-worker, forced entry
into her home through a
storm door and held her
against her will and sexu-
ally assaulted her. He then
prevented her from leav-
ing the residence.
She told the deputy Rob-
inson had fled the scene on
a moped. The victim iden-
tified Robinson through a
photo line up and depu-
ties arrested Robinson at
his Inman home later that
day.
He was booked into The
Spartanburg County De-
tention Center where he is
currently being held with-
out bond.
GCSO SEEKS HELP IN
LOCATING MISSING PERSON
The Greenville County
Sheriffs Office is asking
the public for their help in
locating a missing Green-
ville woman who has not
been seen or heard from
since last Thursday. 69-
year-old Frances Louise
Stewart was last seen on
foot in the area of Mc-
Gee Street and East North
Street in Greenville last
Thursday wearing a a dark
blue shirt, tan pants and
carrying a green bag.
Stewart is described as
being 5-3 and weighing ap-
proximately 220 pounds
with gray hair and green
eyes.
According to Stewarts
family, she suffers from
Dementia along with men-
tal illness as well as seri-
ous medical conditions,
including diabetes, respi-
ratory and heart related
issues. Her family told the
sheriffs office Stewart re-
quires insulin injections to
treat her diabetes and they
believe she may not be in
possession of her proper
medication or the means
to administer it.
Anyone with informa-
tion regarding Stewarts
whereabouts is asked to
call 271-5210.

POWERLESS?
Christopher Way McCall,
38, of 108 Snow Street,
with theft of electric cur-
rent and possession of
methamphetamine.
reports, officers respond-
ed to the above address
in reference to a welfare
check. Upon arrival, of-
ficers observed that a red
tag had been placed on
the power meter, showing
the power to the residence
had been disconnected. As
officers were knocking on
the door, McCall pulled
up to the residence and
informed officers he was
the resident of the home.
Officers informed McCall
they were at his residence
to perform a welfare check
on his children due to the
fact that they had received
a report that his power
and water had been dis-
connected.
McCall told the officers
that his children were not
living at the residence.
A representative with
CPW then informed offi-
cers that 801 kw/hrs had
passed though the meter
since the power was termi-
nated on Aug. 26.
Officers observed Mc-
Calls behavior to be very
nervous and he became
adamant about getting his
lighter out of the truck.
When an officer went to
retrieve McCalls lighter
from his truck, upon Mc-
Calls request, the officer
observed a razor blade
with white residue. McCall
gave the officer consent to
search his truck and the
officer located a bag of
meth.
McCall was arrested and
transported to the Greer
City Jail.
CDV
Malcom Tomik Arnold,
22, of 212 Oakland Ave.
169, Greer, has been
charged with criminal do-
mestic violence of a high
and aggravated nature.
reports, officers were
dispatched to the above
address in reference to
a domestic disturbance
call. Upon arrival, officers
observed a female victim
with blood on her face. She
told the officer she and
her boyfriend (Arnold) got
into an argument and he
grabbed her by the neck
and threw her into a coun-
ter before throwing her
into a car and then slam-
ming her into the ground.
A witness of the incident
confirmed the victims
account of what had oc-
curred. The officer learned
that Arnold had pled
guilty in December 2012
to a charge of criminal do-
mestic violence of a high
and aggravated nature in
Pickens County.
Arnold was located in
the front of the apartment
complex and he was ar-
rested and detained. He
was transported to the
Greer City Jail.
NO PAIN, NO GAIN
David Wayne Cohen, 53,
of 909 Jones Ford Road,
Union, has been charged
with DUI and possession
of drugs.
reports, an officer was on
routine patrol at Cannon
Avenue and Pelham Street
when he observed a vehicle
with a cracked windshield
cross the center line three
times. The vehicle con-
tinued to weave back and
forth and the officer initi-
ated a traffic stop on the
car and its driver (Cohen).
Upon approaching the
vehicle, the officer ob-
served Cohen to be shak-
ing and his eyes appeared
bloodshot. The officer had
Cohen step out of the ve-
hicle, at which time he
asked him if he had any-
thing illegal on his person.
Cohen stated he did have a
narcotic and the officer re-
trieved a pill of acetamino-
phen/hydrocodone.
A series of field sobriety
tests were performed on
Cohen, most of which he
failed. Cohen admitted to
the officer he was under
the influence of pain med-
ication and amphetamine
salts.
He was arrested and
City Jail. He was then
transported to the hospi-
tal, where he provided a
urine sample before being
transported back to jail.
SCRAP THAT PLAN

observed a green minivan
turn onto Hampton Road
with a cracked windshield
and a broken rear window.
The officer also observed
that one of the vehicles
brake lights was inopera-
ble and the driver was not
wearing a seatbelt.
The officer initiated a
traffic stop on the vehicle
and its driver (Sudduth).
The officer asked Sudduth
for his name and he pro-
vided the officer with a
false identification.
Sudduth gave the of-
ficer consent to search
the vehicle, so the officer
had Sudduth and his pas-
senger (Adams) step out
of the vehicle. When Ad-
ams stepped out of the
vehicle a case containing
six needles and nine bag-
gies (six which were empty
and three contained small
pieces of cotton) fell out
of his pants. A search of
the vehicle yielded a paper
receipt from CRC Scrap
Metals that showed Sud-
duth had scrapped metals
earlier that day.
This receipt revealed
Sudduths true identity.
The officer then learned
Sudduths drivers license
was suspended and that
he had an active failure to
pay child support warrant
out of Greenville County.
Both Adams and Sud-
duth were arrested and
City Jail.
Sudduth was then picked
up by Greenville County
for his active warrant.

served a vehicle drive off
the road and onto the
sidewalk nearly striking a
railroad posting. The offi-
cer initiated a traffic stop
on the vehicle and its driv-
er (Cooper).
Upon approaching the
vehicle, the officer detect-
ed a strong odor of alcohol

failed.
He was placed under ar-
rest and transported to
the Greer City Jail, where

taining white residue.

were arrested and trans-
ported to the Greer City
Jail. King blew a .00 per-
cent on a breathalyzer,

CRIME REPORT |
L
ast Wednesday, state
lawmakers met in
Columbia to discuss
the legalization of medi-
cal marijuana. Currently,
about half of U.S. states
allow medicinal cannabis,
and there are many good
reasons why we should
join them.
1. It has proven to be an
effective drug
First and foremost,
marijuana has proven a
solid antidote to pain,
nausea, seizures and
suppressed appetite. Its
been prescribed to cancer
and AIDS patients for
years now with consistent
results.
2. It is inexpensive
Its a sad thing to see
when young children and
elderly patients have to
suffer because they cant
afford some cost-inflated
prescription drug a phar-
maceutical company has
patented. Marijuana is
easy to grow and distrib-
ute and, without some big
pharma company monop-
olizing it, would presum-
ably be cheap to produce
and buy.
Uncoincidentally, this
is the very reason the
FDA hasnt yet approved
marijuana as a safe and
effective drug. They
know they cant make big
money from it. Its cer-
tainly revealing that the
FDA has approved two
synthetic drugs (Cesamet
and Marinol) that have the
same active ingredient as
marijuana (THC). After
all, if its made in a lab,
you can bet that some-
body is making money
from it.
3. Its a lot safer than
whats already on the
market
This one goes hand in
hand with No. 2. We all
know that marijuana has
never killed anybody, yet
the drug companies and
FDA continue to demon-
ize it as a dangerous and
addictive street drug.
The fact is the FDA has
approved many drugs
that are far more danger-
ous. Narcotic pain killers
(hydrocodone, oxycodone)
for example, kill about
20,000 Americans each
year and wreck millions
of lives. According to Sci-
ence Daily magazine, 60
percent of those deaths
occur in patients who
have legitimate prescrip-
tions for those medica-
tions.
The kicker is this: ac-
cording to the American
Medical Associations
study of all opioid related
deaths between 1999 and
2010, the (then) 13 states
where medical marijuana
was legal had 25 percent
less people die from
narcotic overdoses than
states that didnt.
Quite simply, marijuana
can effectively treat many
of the same symptoms,
injuries and ailments
that opiates do, without
damaging your organs or
creating a life-threaten-
ing physical addiction.
Therefore, if legalized for
medicinal use, it would
obviously compete with
these dangerous narcotics
and put a major dent in
the bottom line of phar-
maceutical companies.
Still not convinced its
a money issue? Consider
this. The Nation maga-
zine recently revealed
that Purdue Pharma was
one of the biggest donors
of the Partnership for
Drug-Free Kids (formerly
Partnership for a Drug-
Free America). As you
might expect, one of the
organizations primary
goals is to fight cannabis
legalization of any kind,
with the logic that even
medical marijuana would
make the drug more ac-
cessible to children. The
inescapable irony is that
Purdue is the company
that created Oxycontin 20
years ago, which almost
single-handedly started
the prescription drug
crisis our country faces
today.
Im not saying that
Oxycodone doesnt have
its place in pain treat-
ment, but hundreds of
thousands of people have
suffered fatal overdoses
from it in the last two
decades. Marijuana also
has its place in medical
practice. It treats a whole
host of maladies, wont
kill anyone and might
even put some farmers in
our state back in busi-
ness. If, of course, the
government isnt still too
afraid to stand up to big
pharma.

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.
Theyre fghting

Im proud of each

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.
Warriors hope
to rebound
Eagles search
for first win
The Eagles will need to put last Fridays loss behind them if
they hope to have success against Wade Hampton.
We cant let one
loss beat us twice.

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-
Donald led the charge with
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.
North Greenville will

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.

Tigers hold off Mann
After securing a 19-0 lead against JL Mann at home Friday, Blue Ridge hung on to put
away its second win of the season.

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.

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
where Davenport used to

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.

Homeless shelter receives $10,000
Nancy Webb accepts a check from Skip Davenport on behalf of Daily Bread Ministries
Shelter to Empower People. The $10,000 check will aid in the construction of apartments
for homeless families.

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.
LOCKE
Rating: 6 out of 10
Run time: 84 minutes
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.
Bears is both breathtaking and heartwarming

him about what was really
going on. Maya shameless-
ly threw herself at an unin-
terested Rick. Brooke and

Paris at the same time that
Liam and Ivy were there.
Bill gave Quinn the benefit
of the doubt regarding her
reasoning for pushing Ivy
into the Seine river. Pam

DAYS OF OUR LIVES
Despite trying to ignore
her feelings for Aiden,
Hope had a romantic fan-
tasy about him. Eve plot-
ted to break up JJ and
Paige. Kate feared that EJ
and Sami would get back
together. Much to Hopes
dismay, Aiden and Ni-
cole shared a bond. Paige
was a little uneasy when
JJ hinted that he would
like to be more intimate
with her. Jennifer was
hurt when Daniel wasnt
quite as ready to reconcile
as she thought. Theresa
was horrified by Kristens
news. Will attempted to
patch things up with Sami.
EJ and Clyde had a tense
confrontation. Brady and
Marlena waited anxiously
to see if the experimental
drug would bring John
back to them. Kristen
snapped when Theresa re-
vealed that she and Brady
slept together. Wait to
See: Eve sabotages JJ and
Paiges college party.
GENERAL HOSPITAL

Alexis, but Alexis had her
sights set on another man.
Jordan hoped to convince
Ava to name the mob boss.
Sabrina slowly started to
plot her revenge. Sam and
Patrick changed their in-
vestigative strategy after
learning that Luke might
have been involved in the
accident. Nina pressured
Rosalie to help bring down
the next person on her list.
Lulu and Maxie each found
themselves in serious dan-
ger. TJ wanted to know
the identity of Shawns
mystery woman. Anna re-
luctantly worked with Ob-
recht to get to the truth.
Rosalie overheard some
secret information while
joining Michael, Kiki and
Morgan for pizza. Wait to

woman named Maureen.
Victor was evasive with
Nikki about where he had
been lately. Jack assured
Kelly that he was over his
feelings for Phyllis. Vic-
toria told her father that
Ashley was back in town
working at Jabot. Maureen
discovered Nikkis real
identity after seeing her
picture in a newspaper.

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-
Health@med.cornell.edu.

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.

PET OF THE WEEK |

Storm-proofing
anxious pets
FROM B8
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.
