City hosts Inland Port session, tour Friday

By Amanda Irwin
Staff Writer
(The inland port is) right in our backyard
City officials are hosting

a South Carolina Inland
Port information session
this Friday, which will include a tour of the Greer
location.
Registration for the
event will begin at 11:30
a.m. at City Hall.
The port is part of a
10-year expansion and
and its such an asset for us.

improvement plan of the
South Carolina Port Authority facilities. During
the ports groundbreaking,

officials reported that they
hoped to process 40,000
containers at the port in its

first year, 25,000 of which
would be a direct result
of BMW. Within five years,
officials hoped to expand
the ports capabilities to
process 100,000 containers annually. Residents
will learn about the ports
progress and its impact on
the Greer area a year into
its operation.
I credit the chamber will
really getting the ball roll-
ing there. They heard from

the business community
that there was a real interest in getting an update on
the progress of the project
and some more information about how it is effecting our community, and
how other businesses may
be able to become involved
and benefit from this project, Reno Deaton, Greer
Development Corporation
executive director.
I think the main part of

this is how important the
inland port is to Greer and
what we do here. I think the
biggest surprise to people
is how close it really is
to downtown. I mean, its
right in our backyard and
its such an asset for us.
I think people will really
understand that once they
get to see it, Katie Witherspoon, Greater Greer

The Greer High School volleyball team made its contribution to the annual Syl Syl Christmas Toy Drive last Sunday
afternoon at the Clock restaurant in Greer.
Syl Syl drive

a success
By Billy Cannada
Editor
Christmas will be provided for many needy
families in the Greer community thanks to the 11th
annual Syl Syl Christmas
Toy Drive.
The event, held in
memory of the late Sylvia
Holtzclaw, brought in an
overwhelming amount of
toys at the Clock on Sunday.
I think we were all
overwhelmed, to be honest, Sylvias son David
Holtzclaw said. Its gotten

bigger and bigger every
year, but this is definitely
the biggest year weve had.
Were only able to keep
doing this toy drive because of the support from
the Greer and surrounding communities. I dont
think we could ever tell
people how much we appreciate them coming and
donating toys, not only
in memory of mom, but
as a way to help kids that
otherwise wouldnt have a
Christmas.

Alcohol at convenience
and grocery stores will
soon be available for purchase in Greer on Sundays.
Following last weeks
general election, in which
residents
voted
overwhelmingly in favor of
the alcohol sales referendum, Spartanburg County
residents will be able to
consume alcohol in bars,
restaurants and hotels on
Sunday.
While the countywide
referendum does not apply to sales for off-premises consumption, 63 percent of voters in the City
of Greer, through paper
ballots, approved a referendum to permit the Sunday sales of beer and wine
at grocery stores and gas
stations.
Nonprofits and businesses can also now acquire permits through
the state Department of
Revenue to sell alcohol on
Sundays.
Greers referendum was
first proposed by councilperson Wryley Bettis
and Reno Deaton with the
Greer Economic Development. Bettis and Deaton
presented the ordinance
as a business opportunity
that could provide city taxes to delegate elsewhere.
For starters, council
should know that I dont
really have a dog in this
fight, Bettis said when

Big Thursday draws large crowd

By Billy Cannada
Editor
Greer residents helped
raise thousands for Greer
Community
Ministries
(GCM) last week during
the organizations biggest
event of the year.
GCM Executive Director Cindy Simpler said
Big Thursday brought in a
large crowd and plenty of
entertainment.
It was very busy,
Simpler said. Everyone
seemed to enjoy the event.
Obviously, we have some
INDEX
things we could improve

on, but all in all, I thought
we had a great crowd.
The event raised around
$70,000 for Greer Community Ministries four
programs.
We havent finalized our
numbers yet, but Im fairly
certain we hit somewhere
in the range of $65,000
to $70,000, Simpler said.
Its not quite as much as
last year, but we didnt
have two vehicles (to auction).

You can never have too many
his new frozen yoghurt place up the

road is going to be the death of me.
I have been committed for the
last several years to eating clean and
lean: salmon, kale, blueberries gluten
free everything. Do I have cravings for a
piece of dark chocolate, after dinner and
during the national news? Sure I do, but
upon researching, I learned cravings last
but three minutes, so I simply distract
myself for that duration by debating
whether or not to have that extra glass
of wine, and they promptly vanish. In
control, baby!
Oh, if only I knew what lay ahead...
Traditionally, Im an ice-cream girl
by heart, but wanting to support a new
business, I entered this opium den otherwise known as The Frosty Filly. This
was to be my undoing. A do it yourself
venue, where you can wander from
flavor to flavor, raising the handle- like
soft serve ice cream- I combined Salted
Caramel, Tahitian Vanilla and Key
Lime Pie.
Oh, my dear God in heaven.
But Pammy, I hear you cry, at least
frozen yoghurt is healthier for you than
ice cream, right?
IM JUST
SAYING
PAM STONE
Bear with...googling...
Er, no. That does not seem to be the
case, oh naive one. While there is an
absence of milk fat in frozen yoghurt,
there is only slightly less fat and saturated fat and by the time you add the
flavored syrups, youve disgraced yourself and your pancreas. Forget about any
probiotics, too- they dont survive the
frozen temperatures.
Trying to make amends with my blood
sugar, I was heartened by the sight of
chopped walnuts in the toppings bar.
Everyone knows walnuts are a super
food with enormous health benefits. So
a mighty spoonful went on top of my
dessert, also known as, lunch, crowning the small mound of ground-up Heath
bar and chocolate mint bits.
As I pulled out my wallet, the proprietor waited by the cash register and told
me the price would be by the ounce.

A weighed ounce? I asked, thinking
that even this comment brought back
hazy memories from the mid 1970s...
Yep, he said, placing my cup on
the scale. Four bucks. Well, certainly
cheaper, even taking inflation into consideration, than those Zepplin-inspired
yesteryears...
But heres the big problem. Im now
enslaved to chasing the dragon. This
place pulls me from my comfy sofa and
drags me into its lair. Im now making
excuses to drive into town, just to get
one more hit.
But we dont need another water filter, Paul tried to reason when, wild eyed
and bedraggled, I began scratching my
forearm and insisting I needed to rush
to the neighboring hardware store at
8am, We already have 6 that you bought
last week.
You can never have too many! I
said, panic rising in my throat. Theres
fracking going on nearby and our entire
well water supply may become contaminated.
Embarrassingly, all my integrity has
flown out the window. Once proudly
shunning styrofoam and plastic utensils,

I think nothing of the collection of white
cups and spoons that now roll around
in the cab of my truck, unable to be recycled and only valuable to a first grader
with uncooked macaroni and Elmers
glue.
The only thing that will curb my habit
are those shortbread cookies and we all
know thats simply maintenance to an
addict. No- I must be strong! It is a steel
backbone that made this country great
and there are ways to cope! I have read
it is helpful to keep a photo of children
(except I dont have any children), in my
wallet to remind me life is worth living,
sugar-free. So a faded snapshot of Bonnie, standing, wagging, at the front door
with a disemboweled squirrel between
her nearly toothless jaws will have to
suffice.
I will return to the hardware store this
week, by gum, but this time for something I really need- work gloves- and
I will walk past The Frozen Filly both
coming and going, head held high, selfdiscipline intact.
Im not quite sure how far the walk is,
but Im pretty sure its about 12 steps.

The gift
AMANDA IRWIN
Staff reporter
Read I John 5:11-12
hanks be to God for his

indescribable gift! 2 Corinthians 9:15 (NIV)
I opened the present slowly.

This gift, one of many I had
received from a close friend
over the years, would be as
thoughtful and extravagant as
the others. She knows me well.
She is quite aware of all my
failings and strengths, and she
loves me in spite of them. For a
moment, I hesitated. Knowing
I could never give her anything
as expensive in return, I considered handing the gift back
to her. But as I searched her
face, filled with the expectancy
of my joy, I couldnt deny her
the pleasure. The gift would
benefit both of us.
For many years, I have chosen to reject the lavish gift of
forgiveness that God gave me
through the blood of Jesus. I
considered it a debt I must try
to repay. The guilt was unbearable, the weight on my selfesteem heavy. But on that day,
sitting with my friend, I understood. I had caught a glimpse
of Jesus in her eyes. The gift of
his magnificent sacrifice and
his offer of eternal life gives
him pleasure, despite my unworthiness. The fact that I can
never repay him is irrelevant.
For God so loved the world
that he gave his one and only
Son, that whosoever believes in
him shall not perish but have
eternal life (John 3:16). All we
need to do is to say, Thank
you.
Prayer: Every day, dear God,
you present us with new gifts.
Bless us with eyes to see and
accept them graciously. Amen.
Thought for the day: We are
blessed when we open Gods
gifts.

EDITORIAL
Taking time to remember

and salute our veterans
For a people who are free, and who mean to
remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is
their best security.
Those were the words of Thomas Jefferson
during a message to Congress in 1808, and they
still ring true today.
This great nation, a land of the free and a
home for the brave, was built and is maintained
by the sacrifice of the many heroic men and
women in our military.
Sacrifice comes in many different forms. For
some in the service, it means long months and
years away from home. It means not being able
to see your kids when they come home from
school. It means rare phone calls and video
chats. It means hard, physical training when
you want to give up. The sacrifice our servicemen and women demonstrate on a daily basis
cannot be understated. They give up their comforts so we can have ours. They leave their families so we can stay home.
Veterans are a different breed. Theyre not
made of the same stuff your average person is
made of. They have an unmatched calling that
thrusts them into action. While others might
thing about serving, they go and get it done.
As Veterans Day rolls around again, lets take
some time to remember and thank our men
and women who fight for the freedoms we hold
dear. In the Greer community, we have so many
great folks that have sacrificed for the good of
the country.
Think about our local World War II veterans.
Back then, it wasnt a question of if you were
going to serve, but when. Right out of high
school, these folks didnt think twice about enlisting. It was something you did because you
were freebecause you were an American.
Its difficult to find a family in the United
States that was not affected somehow by World
War II, Greer Mayor Rick Danner recently said.
To stand at our Veterans Memorial Park and
read the names on monuments of those who
were killed during the conflict reminds us of
how entire towns and cities were affected as

well
The veterans of World War II are not alone.
Whether they served in Korea, the Persian Gulf,
Afghanistan or anywhere in between, our United State military is overwhelmed with heroes.
Sadly, with all the privileges we enjoy today,
its hard to wrap our minds around that type of
commitment. The veterans that came before us
paved the way, too often with their own lives, so
that we could take advantage of the opportunities we take for granted. The least we can do is
thank them.
This week, weve seen some of our own do
just that. Schools in Greenville and Spartanburg
Counties held Veterans Day celebrations, recognizing local men and women who served. Local
boy scouts placed American flags at the graves
of fallen veterans. City Hall flew the American
flag that was displayed during a World War II
veterans burial in France.
These are just small examples of our gratitude.
As another Veterans Day comes and goes,
take time to celebrate the lives of those who
serve. Take them out to dinner, leave them an
encouraging note or find some way you can
lend a hand.
The truth is, theres nothing we can do that
will make their sacrifices worth it. No speech or
ceremony can cure the pain caused by war and
heartbreaking loss.
All we can do is say thank you.

Forgotten
veterans
f the 1.4 million active

military members, about
14.5 percent are women.
Perhaps because of this, when I
went to cover a military members surprise homecoming, I,
along with many in my office,
were surprised to find that the
military person was in fact a
female.
Since first becoming a mother,
U.S. Marine Gunnery Sgt. Jacquelyn Samuels said shes served
three tours and has missed first
words and first steps, but its a
sacrifice shes willing to make
to serve the country and contribute to such a great nation.
Yet, should Samuels leave active
military, she may be faced with
the unfortunate reality that
providing for her two daughters
as a female veteran could be
difficult being the odds arent in
her favor.
Womens veteran unemployment rate last month was 11.2
percent and for female veterans
who have been discharged since
September 2011 the rate is 9.3
percent, according tot a report by the Disabled American
Veterans. Female veterans are
struggling more than their male
counterparts to gain employment, a problem First Lady
Michelle Obama spoke to on
Monday.
The exact reason for this
hasnt been pinpointed, but
there are factors believed to
impact this, including the fact
that the Department of Veterans Affairs has fewer health
programs available to women
possibly making the transition from military to civilian
life more difficult, including
gynecology services. About a
third of VA clinics do not have
staff to provide treatment to
one in five female veterans who
experienced sexual trauma in
the military, according to a report by the Disabled American
Veterans.
Females in the military sacrifice no less than their male
counterparts who serve, we
need to recognize the gaps in
services available to them and
forego the assumptions military
is exclusively men.
Say thank you to the military
veterans, recognize their service
and pray for their transitions
into civilian life. Thus far we
have failed to justly support
them. Female veterans can find
employment assistance through
the Veterans Employment
Center website and companies
can seek out veterans in need
of employment through the Disable American Veterans.

HONORING VETERANS PORT: Tours to be conducted on Friday

DAVE
RAMSEY
Not so fast!
Q: Weve got our starter
emergency fund in place,
and weve paid off the last
of our debt. Currently,
we rent an apartment but
my wife really wants us
to buy a house now. She
also wants us to use a 30year, 100 percent financing plan, and says this
wouldnt cost any more
than were paying in rent.
I disagree with her idea,
and shes upset with me.
How can I make her see
this is a bad plan?
DR: I think she probably
knows deep down this
isnt a good plan. Shes
found something she really likes, and shes mad
because youre not going
along with the idea. Its
called house fever.
When you buy a home
with nothing down and
little to no money in the
bank, youre inviting
trouble to move in with
you. In other words, youll
find yourselves in a mess
because you didnt have
the maturity and wisdom
to wait until you had
your fully funded emergency fund of three to six
months of expenses in
place, plus a 20 percent
down payment saved up
for a house.
The idea that you save
money because your
house payment is the
same as your rent is a
myth. It costs more to
own a home, period. As
a homeowner, youre
exposed to all kinds of
things you never have to
worry about as a renter.
Im not sure how to get
your wife to realize this
or act more mature, but
I do know that people
who charge into things of
this magnitude without
thinking are the very ones
who end up in my office
for financial counseling or
filing bankruptcy!

Sylvia was murdered in

an unsolved Blue Ridge
Savings Bank robbery that
occurred on May 16, 2003.
Since then, the toy drive
has aimed to support the
Cops for Tots program
and Country Santa.
Mom used to help with
the Cops for Tots program
[and] Country Santa, so we
[give to them] for that reason. But we also wanted to
keep the toys in the Greer
community, David said.
This was her community.
She loved this area and
loved Greer.
Greer residents dropped

by the Clock restaurant to
donate toys on Sunday.
The Clock is terrific,
David said. Arthur and
Jimmy (Chulkas) and the
entire family just mean a
whole lot to us. That was
moms favorite place to
eat. They were really good
to her and she loved them.
They open up on their day
off to have the event, so
its really special to have
it there.
David said he and his
brother, Kevin have been
grateful to the community
through the process coping with their mothers
death.
To see people that knew
mom and to hear stories
about her from people I
dont know that knew her,
its just great, he said.
They supported Kevin
and I since the day it happened and I dont know if
theres ever a way for us
to repay them for the support theyve given us.
This event helps us in

through with the case still
being unsolved.

collected?

he first introduced the ordinance to council. But I

do know a lot of people
that shop on Sundays in
the City of Greenville and
thats revenue that were
losing, and thats where I
come fromIm from the
economic
development
side of my brain. In conjunction with Reno Deaton, our Economic Development head, we look at
it as an opportunity. Were
always looking for ways to
benefit businesses in the
city, and this is a way to
recoup some revenue from
them and possibly generate a fair amount of new
revenue, and to me this
could potentially be an
offset in the future to allow us to lower some millage that would be offset
by funds coming in from
these taxes and whatnot.
The only councilmember
to vote in opposition of the
matter was Wayne Griffin.
Other
councilmembers
made it clear they were not
voting in favor of allowing
Sunday alcohol sales, but
rather allowing residents
to decide if they wanted
the city to permit it.
I think [Wryley Bettis]
made the motion because
it came from the business
community, councilman
Jay Arrowood said.
When we first voted for
it, when we first had our
first reading, I was going
to listen to the community
and see what they had to
say before I took my second vote for second readingI had only one person
ask me about itthat was
it. So am I surprised that
it passed? Im somewhat
surprised, but I never did
see any kind of opposition.
I voted against it like I said
that I would. I thought it
should have gone to the
voters like it did. I dont
recall seeing any kind of
opposition to it from anyone, he said.

The social effects, I dont

The Town of Duncan approved on-premise sales of
alcohol on Sunday. That is
similar to the countywide
referendum, however, selling alcohol on Sundays for
off-premises consumption
in the Town of Wellford
failed to pass.

Although the referendum was proposed as an

Greer, Arrowood said he
does not believe it is going to stimulate the Greer
economy.
As far as the overall
economic impact, I think it
will be net zero, he said.
People have so much
money to spend, and prior
to this passing they spent
so many dollars on alcohol but they spent it in six
days. Well, now its just
for sale on a seventh day
and if they buy more alcohol than theyre buying

The Greer Community
Master Plan will take one
step closer to completion
on Nov. 18, when the final
community workshop is
held from 5:30-7:30 p.m.
at the Cannon Centre.
Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., the design
consulting guiding the
community in the planning process, is encouraging members of the Greer
community
to
attend
the workshop. Those attendeding will be able to:
view the draft preferred
growth strategy, consider
the progress on concept
plans and provide input on
strategic corridors in the
city, as well as the framework plans for transportation and parks and open
space.
Jonathan Whitehurst, senior planner with KimleyHorn and Associates, said
the goal is to make the
event an interactive open
house with each attendee
receiving a passport when
they sign in. Passports will
be stamped for each activity in which they participate, with prizes for those
who are most active in the
process.
Five stations will provide
information and opportunities for feedback:
Street Builder
Attendees will use game

pieces to build their preferred street cross section
for one or more of the
strategic corridors.
Street Priorities
Attendees will be given a

set of 10 to 12 characteristics and asked to select
their top three choices for
one or more of the strategic corridors.
Mobility Indexing
Attendees will be asked

to capture home, work,
and recreation locations.
They then will be asked
if their home/work/recreation locations are walkable, bikeable or transit
accessible. The second
part of the exercise will
require attendees to write
down specific locations
that serve as barriers to
mobility.
Open Space Puzzle
Attendees will view basic information on existing parks, then choose the
missing piece to the parks
puzzle. Potential pieces
may include neighborhood parks, passive open
space, recreation center,
aquatics center, trails, ball
fields, sports courts, skate
park, etc.
The workshop is open
to the public at no charge.
For more information, visit www.plangreer.com.
Information Wall
Attendees will view a series of maps that show the

process used to develop
the preferred growth strategy. Participants will be
encouraged to write comments on post-it notes and
place on a blank wall.
Visual Preference

Attendees will use dots

to select preferred design

with 12 to 15 images. Each

Preston Burch | THe Greer Citizen
Greer Community Ministries raised between $65,000 and

$70,000 during Big Thursday.
GCM: Raising funds to

support four programs
from page one
sold every bit of it, so we

didnt have any Boston
butts to auction off.
Many stayed for the auction, which saw stiff competition.
This year, one of the
big items was the autographed helmet from the
Greer High School football
team and also, the North
Greenville helmet was a
favorite, she said. There
was a fair amount of back
and forth on the magenta
wrought iron patio set.
You can never tell whats
going to be the thing that
somebodys got their heart
set on, but its always fun
and funny.
Among the items that
were bid on were opportunities to purchase items
specifically for Greer Community Ministries. Folks
were able to bid on items
such as a weeks worth of
meals for local seniors,
paying more than the asking price.
We felt that maybe we
hadnt done as good a job
as we should on trying to
help bring people back to
why we were having the
event in the first place,
Simpler said. We wanted
people to recognize the
programs we offer and the
cost associated with those
programs.
None of our services
cost the client anything.
Everything is free. The
purpose of the auction
was not lets make a deal.
It was to feed and clothe
people in the greater Greer
community, she said.
Simpler said fundraising
is crucial.
The funding is a big
deal, she said. If were
not financially healthy, we

cant serve our clients the
way we need to. The stronger you are financially,
you dont have to continuously be looking over your
shoulder saying Can we
cover next weeks meals?
Can we cover next weeks
payroll?
Aside from the money,
Big Thursday offers an opportunity for community
members to meet the staff
at Greer Community Ministries.
Every time we do these
events, especially with Big
Thursday, theres a lot
of camaraderie, Simpler
said. It gives us a chance
to have some face to face
contact with folks in the
community and tell them
thank you for coming
out.
Many in Greer still dont
know about the organization, Simpler said.
As Greer has grown,
there have been more
transient folks that have
never heard of Greer Community Ministries, she
said. We still get the question of, Which church are
you? We go back and tell
our story all over again.
Were not a church, were
just servants who feed
and clothe people.
The event was held at
Fairview Baptist Church in
Greer.
I cant even begin to say
enough good things about
how generous Fairview is,
Simpler said. They just
gave us the keys to the
place for a week.

Greer police arrest woman in stabbing

Nakeshia N. Barton, 24,
of 211 Austin St., Greer,
has been charged with
criminal domestic violence
of a high and aggravated
nature and possession of a
knife during the commission of a violent crime.
According to a Greer Police Department incident
report, an officer arrived
at Bartons address in response to a domestic disturbance call. There, she
found the victim bleeding
profusely from a wound
on his torso. As EMS treated him, Barton said she
and the victim, her childs
father, had gotten into
an argument and she had
stabbed him with a butter
knife. Barton said she had
put the knife back into a
drawer, but officers could
not locate it.
They arrested Barton,
placed her in a police car
and advised her of her Miranda rights. She stated
she did not mean to hurt
the victim, but was attempting to push him out
of the house. She also said
the entire incident had
transpired in front of their
5-year-old son.
The victim was transported to Spartanburg Regional Hospital and Barton
was taken to Greer City
Jail.
Ann Gosnell, 26, of 800

Charisma Drive, Room 269,
Spartanburg, and Robert
Wayne Gosnell, 27, of 229
Grandview Drive, Spartanburg. Both suspects are
charged with criminal sexual conduct with a minor
first degree
The victims, age 8, 5 and
2, are the suspects biological children.
All three children have
been in foster care since
July 9, 2013, due an unsafe
living environment and
possible drug use in the
home, after DSS received
an ex parte order issued
by a family court judge.
The 5 and 2-year-old
brothers are in a foster
home together and the 8year-old sister is in a separate foster home.
Prior to the children
coming into custody, a
report was sent to DSS on
June 12, 2013, for possible
CDV in front of the kids,
child abuse, dirty house
and possible drug use.

CRIMINAL SEXUAL
CONDUCT

OFFICE
The Special Victims Unit
of the Spartanburg County
Sheriffs Office concluded
a lengthy investigation by
signing multiple warrants
on two parents for multiple offenses against their
three children.
The suspects are Pamela
A North Carolina woman was sentenced to serve

more than a decade in
prison this week after she
admitted to driving under
the influence of prescription medication when she
caused a fatal, wrong-way,
head-on crash on Business
I-85.
Lisa C. Fall, 42, of Rutherfordton, pleaded guilty
to felony driving under
the influence with death
and felony driving under
the influence with great
bodily injury for the June
14 wreck that claimed the
life of Allen Peter Turlak,
17, a student at Greer High
School. Turlaks brother,
Vitaly Turlak, 19, sustained serious injuries to
his spleen and back.
Circuit Judge Frank
Addy issued a 25-year
prison sentence that was
suspended upon the service to 13 years and four
years of probation. Fall
didnt have a prior criminal record.
The wreck occurred
about 4:15 a.m. on June
14 when Fall drove a 2005
Ford Mustang south in the
northbound lane of the interstate.

Falls car collided headon with a 2008 Honda Civic driven by Vitaly Turlak.
The Turlak brothers
were both wearing seatbelts when the wreck occurred. Fall, who was also
wearing a seatbelt, was
treated at Spartanburg
Medical Center before she
was taken to jail.
Highway Patrol troopers said Fall slurred words
when she spoke at the
hospital and she was unaware she had been traveling the wrong way on the
interstate.
The Turlak family has
been devastated by Lisa
Falls pathetic actions, Solicitor Barry Barnette said.
I hope people look at this
case and think about the
widespread and dangerous consequences of prescription drug abuse.

Changes expected for Bryant Center in Lyman

Council
meeting
dates
changed
tial plan, which included

a work training center,
said Jenny Thomas with
the Bryant Center. That
component of the Bryant
Center went through the
state improvement project
for budgeting a few years
ago, but was it was put on
hold due to budget constraints and now that our
budget situation has improved our commissioner,
Barbra Hollis, is looking at
the terms of getting the
project going again.
The Bryant Center provides vocational rehabilitation services for residents from Lyman and the
surrounding areas. Residents with disabilities can
receive services that target
their needs eliminating impendence barriers and giving them the tools to gain
employment.
Presently
the facility offers clerical
and administrative train-
By Amanda Irwin
Staff Writer
Although no action was
taken, Lyman council discussed giving a right-ofway or an easement to the
Bryant Center to allow for
the completion of the facility, which would include
adding an industrial training building behind the facilities current structure.
I wanted to let you
know that were looking
into completing our ini-
ing, but the new addition

will give the Bryant Center
the capability to train individuals for industrial jobs
as well.
Everything was predicated on a road being constructed by the Town of
Lyman that we could enter off of on the adjacent
property, Wes Stokes,
who spoke on behalf of the
Bryant Center. So what we
are asking now since that
didnt happen and plans
changed in this industrial
park did not come about
What we need in order to
complete this so we dont
have to have an additional
curb cut on our facility,
would we be on this adjacent property was at least
500 feet of this road being
constructed right adjacent
to the property line so that
we can access our facilityWhat we need at this
time or what we would
like to request is at least

an easement or right-ofway whatever is required
legally.
Council said after the attorney reviews the request,
an ordinance or resolution
will be placed on the agenda addresses it.
Council member Rita
Owens, as part of the Event
Planning board, said shes
been working on gathering
bids for renovations to the
Pacific Place.
We are doing a lot of
things to the Pacific Place
next door. We are getting bids on redoing the
bathrooms. All five bathrooms, were going to do
some major renovations in
there, Owens said. The
kitchen weve gotten bids
on putting in a commercial
kitchen, and were getting
bids on the painting and
replacing some window
panes, painting all the all
around the windows and

redoing the front. Were
real excited about that
because our thought is if
we get the outside looking
nice, people are going to
want to come see whats
inside.
Lyman has become a
partner with the Spartanburg Academic Department, and council members Daisy Carter and Tony
Wyatt will work with D.R.
Hill and Lyman Elementary
to figure out what Lyman
can do, if anything, to help
children in the community
better prepare. The focus
will be on kindergarten
preparedness, third grade
reading and eighth grade
math.
Lyman Council passed
a resolution to establish
wrecker service rates, to
sell a town owned Chevy
Van and to allocate $1,000
from the hospitality funds
to the Middle Tyger Area

Council.
Lyman is sponsoring Upstate Forevers active living
event on Thursday, Nov. 4
at Pacific Place from 5:30
7 p.m. A Lyman business
breakfast is being held on
Tuesday, Dec. 16 at 8 a.m.
at Pacific Place. The event
will give business owners
and residents a chance
to meet council and city
employees and pose questions.
The next regularly scheduled Lyman Town Council
meeting was moved to
Dec. 8 at 6 p.m. at Lyman
Town Hall, 81 Grove Road.
Councils regularly scheduled meetings will now be
held the second Monday
of each month at 6 p.m.,
following Mondays second and final reading of

Day
is on loan to the city from

Sgt. Jordans sister-in-law,
Rose Marie Cooper Jordan
of Greer.
As a corporal earlier
in the war, Jordan spent
most of his time stationed
at an infantry training
post at Ft. Wheeler near
Macon, Georgia, where he
served on the cadre of a
battalion responsible for
training inductees. After
the invasion of Normandy,
he was transferred to Ft.
Meade, Maryland to await
transport to the European
theater. He arrived in England on July 23, 1944, and
was sent immediately to
France, where he was assigned to Co. M, 38th Infantry Division.
Nathan reported to his
new outfit, the 38th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry
Division on Aug. 7, 1944,
and entered combat the
following day. He was promoted to staff sergeant
on Aug. 11, just three
days before he was fatally
wounded in fighting near
Tinchebray, France.
Veterans Day 2014 will
also bring to a close a
time-intensive project undertaken by members of
the Joyce Scott Chapter of
the South Carolina Daugh-
Veterans Day had special meaning in the City

of Greer this year, as folks
remembered a native son
who died in France during
World War II.
The flag that flew during
Sgt. Nathan Jordans burial
at Brittany American Cemetery in St. James, France
was flown on Nov. 11 at
Greer City Hall.
Its difficult to find a
family in the United States
that was not affected
somehow by World War
II, Mayor Rick Danner
said. To stand at our Veterans Memorial Park and
read the names on monuments of those who were
killed during the conflict
reminds us of how entire
towns and cities were affected as well

state playoffs. The Yellow Jackets advance to take on Belton-Honea Path in round two.
Greer edges Clinton, 17-13

In opening
round of
playoffs
BY LELAND BURCH
FOR THE GREER CITIZEN
When the going got
tough, Greer and Clinton
handed the ball to their
wildcats, and the unbeaten Yellow Jackets emerged
with hard fought 17-13
victory to advance to the
second round of the Class
AAA playoffs.
When the two teams
opened the season 11
weeks
earlier,
Greer
turned to Dorian Lindsey
operating out of the wildcat formation to lift the

Yellow Jackets to a 24-13
come-from-behind
victory. Taking a page from
Greers playbook, the Red
Devils unleashed a wildcat of their own, Donovan
Blackmon, who rushed for
79-yards and a touchdown
in the rematch that kicked
off the playoffs.
Greer did not insert
Lindsey in the shotgun
until the fourth quarter
when the Yellow Jackets
were facing elimination
and in dire need of points.
The junior wide receiver
responded with 40 yards
and a touchdown on his
first five carries.
Yellow Jackets Coach
Will Young said did not
turn to the wildcat until
Our defense and

offense played well
enough to win...and

BY BILLY CANNADA
SPORTS EDITOR
Marcus Lattimore decided to hang up his

cleats last week, putting
the breaks on an NFL career that never really got
started.
The
former
Byrnes
standout announced his
retirement last week after
rehabbing from a knee injury suffered while he was
a running back at the University of South Carolina.

Riverside has the best

cross country program in
the state and the Warriors
proved it Saturday.
The boys and girls teams
each took state titles over
the weekend, winning with
scores of 75 and 84 points
respectively.
It was exciting, Cummings said. We kind of
knew the girls going in
were heavy favorites, so we

expected big things from
them. The boys, though,
were an outside chance.
They stepped up and ran
their best time ever.
Kyle Mook led the attack
for the boys, finishing
eighth overall with a time
of 15:55. Ben Cignarale
finished 14th with a time
of 16:19), Neel Taber finished 17th with a time of
16:22 and Andrew Castano came in18th with a
time of16:26. Evans Harrison finished 21st overall

with a time of 16:30.
I was nervous, he said.
They came up around the
two-mile mark and I was
actually talking to one of
the parents. I looked at
them and I was like, were
in the lead. The coach
standing next to me said
he was going to say something, but was afraid to.
The guys were confident.

here are two types of

people in this world.
There are those that
could celebrate Christmas for six months each
year and not blink an eye
and there are those that
will lose their marbles if
you try to get holly jolly
before Black Friday.
Theres really no in
between.
I happen to fall in the
former category, being a
lover of all things Christmas.
You cant beat it. December is far too short a
month to try to squeeze
in all of your holiday
celebrations, so why try?
I dont need ABC Family
telling me what Christmas movie to watch on a
particular day. If I want
to pull out Home Alone in
August, you better believe
Im going to. Its America,
for crying out loud. The
same goes for music.
The wife and I crank
Christmas tunes in midOctober, skipping past
Halloween and Thanksgiving all together. I dont
know who decided to put
all three holidays at the
end of the year anyway.
We go all year with hardly
a holiday to celebrate,
then youre going to try to
jam three of them down
my throat?
Dont get me wrong, Ill
still humor those holidays. Ill toss out some
candy to a few trick-ortreaters. Ill eat more turkey than a human probably should in November.
But why not get straight
to the point?
Thanksgiving and Halloween are simply primer
holidays.
Halloween is especially uninteresting for
me, although Ive been
known to enjoy a good
horror flick. Im not in
high school or college
anymore, so dressing up
in funny outfits with my
friends isnt going to do
much for me. It was OK
when you were young, but
Halloween costumes come
with an age limit and Im
sure Ive surpassed it.
On the other hand, I
dont have many complaints about Thanksgiving. You give me my
grandmas cooking, football and a day to napIm
good.
That sounds like a holiday made just for me.
But, people treat it like
its Christmas rival. Its
a good day and all, but
Christmas offers more
depth.
I say just celebrate the
two simultaneously.
These past couple of
weeks, Ive seen plenty of
signs people agree with
me.
Go anywhere in downtown Greer right now and
youll spot Christmas
decorations covering the
sidewalks.
Turn on Magic 98.9
and youll hear as much
Christmas music as you
can stand. Go in your
local retail store and you
might find a Christmas
countdown near the
checkout (even I dont like
those).
Anywhere you look, its
already Christmas. I say,
embrace it. It will be gone
before you know it.

Greers Cole Henderson received The Greer Citizen/Owens

Insurance Offensive Player of the Week award last week.
Pictured, left to right, are Henderson, coach Will Young,
and Shane Lynn, of Owens Insurance.
Byrnes made short work

of its final region opponent of the regular season,
routing Wade Hampton
62-9 on senior night.
Head coach Brian Lane
said he was impressed
with his teams focus.
I felt like we came out
and played focused and
thats how you want them
to play, Lane said. When
you play a game where
youve already won the region and its not going to
impact the playoffs, you
always wonder where your
kids heads will be. But
they came out and played
well on offense and defense and it was an overall
team victory.
The Rebels offense
came from everywhere,
as Najee Bowens and Zach
Walker caught touchdown
passes from Micah Young.
Mason Streater also tossed
a pair of touchdown passes to B.J. Lane and Braxton
Mills.
The Byrnes defense
forced six turnovers, including two interceptions
by D.J. Crosby.
The chemistry has just
continually gotten better
from week one to now,
Lane said. Team chem-
istry, coaching chemistryits a challenge when

youre trying to merge
things from different philosophies. Our kids have
bought into what were doing as the season has gone
on and thats the main
thing. Our guys are closer
as a team and thats what
this game is about. Its not
about xs and os, its about
building relationships.
Lane said he was happy
for his son, B.J., who was
celebrating senior night.
I was proud of him, he
said. Hes been playing
defense a lot all year and
hes played some offense.
We were able to get a
bunch of kids in. I think we
had 12 kids catch a pass,
so thats pretty good.
Looking ahead to the
postseason, the Rebels
hope to make a deep run.
Ive been a head coach
for seven years and right
now Im at 68 victories,
Lane said. I would love
to make it to 72 victories
as a head coach. This is
why you come to a place
like Byrnesto make sure
that youre around good
competition and football
is meaningful. Were going to go out here and do
everything we can to finish the season on a great
note.
Rowell leads Rebels up front

BY BILLY CANNADA
SPORTS EDITOR
One thing has always
been true about the game
of football. The guys in the
trenches do the dirty work
to help the team succeed.
At Byrnes, Nick Rowell
has been a big part of the
teams success, leading an
offensive line that continues to grow and develop.
For his performance on
senior night, Rowell was
named The Greer Citizen and Owens Insurance
Defensive Player of the
Week.
Were a tight-knit unit,
Rowell said of the Rebels front five. We always
try to work to make each
other better. We always
try to boost each others
confidence. We just try to
be the best we can and always work hard.
Being on a team that
can put up staggering offensive numbers has been
rewarding, Rowell said.
Its kind of crazy, he
said. Most places, they
pretty much run one type
of offense.
We run pretty much everything. Its fast paced,
were constantly moving,

It just helps you get better

Wright puts on clinic against Clinton

BY BILLY CANNADA
SPORTS EDITOR
Tyler Wright was all over
the field for the Yellow
Jackets during the teams
opening round win over
Clinton, earning Defensive
Player of the Week honors
from The Greer Citizen
and Owens Insurance.
Wright totaled 13 individual tackles, four assisted tackles and one fumble
recovery in the victory.
We knew what we were
going to do, Wright said.
Clinton is a running team
pretty much. Everybody
just stuck to their assignments and we were able to
come out on top.
Wright said the Red Devils had improved since
Greers week one matchup.
Theyre definitely improved, he said. Theyre
a lot better. They made
some changes on the offensive line. They came
out hitting, but we were
more physical.
As a senior leader on
the defense, Wright said
it is his job to be the shot
caller.
I started off as a small
frybeing a freshman, he
said. I moved up and got a
starting position my soph-
omore year. Coach (Travis)

Perry calls the plays and I
relay them to the team, so
Im pretty much the shot
caller on defense.
Going undefeated in the
regular season took plenty
of teamwork and reaching
the teams ultimate goal of
a state title will take even
more.
We just play as a team,
Wright said. Nobody really gets down on each
other. If something bad
happens, we just pick each
other up because we know
its a four quarter game.
The linebacker said records do not matter at this
point in the season.
Weve been saying it
all week last week and all
week this week that were
1-0, Wright said. Its not
10-0 or 11-0, were just
trying to take things one
game at a time.
Up next for Greer is Belton-Honea Path.
We know (BHP) is going to run the ball and
throw the ball, Wright
said. Their offense is a
lot like ours, so were going to have to practice
hard, work hard and keep
watching film.
We just have to keep
doing what weve been doing all yearworking hard

Greer to battle BHP in second round

By Leland Burch
For The Greer Citizen
The road to the state
Class AAA championship
starts to turn uphill this
Friday night when undefeated Greer hosts BeltonHonea Path in a second
round contest at Dooley
Field.
Escaping with a 17-13
win over a gritty Clinton
team was far from a picnic
last week, and it certainly
doesnt get any easier from
now on, said Coach Will
Young who has guided the
Yellow Jackets to an 11-0
record. He adds, in fact,
BHP will be the best team
we have faced since Emerald, (the Peach Blossom
region runners-up with a
9-2 mark).
Greer will have the home
field advantage for the
first time in five playoff
pairings with B-HP dating
back to 1977. Greer and
BHP have a long football
history, but in recent years
the two teams have only
met in the playoffs
Most of todays players
have little or no recollection of the last two contests with BHP, in 2010
and 2004, both won by the
Bears. But Coach Young
does, and he would like
some revenge. We were
holding our own in 2010
until we lost a fumble,
and it went downhill after
that, he recalls of the 4210 defeat.
BHP comes into the 7:30
p.m. game with an 8-3 record, having lost to Class
AAAA power Westside
early in the season and
much later falling to Daniel, 28-20, and Region One

champion Wren, 50-21.
Young said the Bears
employ a spread offense
similar to Greers, except
they like to run the ball
nearly all the time, like
Clinton does but in a different way. They have big
kids who block really well
on the offensive line.
Austin Estes, a junior,
operates at quarterback.
Young said Uriah Oliver
was the Bears leading
rusher before being injured in an automobile
accident two weeks ago.
I dont know if he will be
back this week, he said.
heavies ready
If necessary, Young will

use Greers heavy package that inserts a pair of
offensive linemen, Noah
Hannon and Cole Henderson, into the line on defense. We will use them
in certain situations, but
hopefully it wont be for as
many reps as in the Clinton game, he said.
Young said BHP uses a
4-3 defense like many of
the teams we play, and
Cover 4 and Cover 3 zone
pass defenses in the secondary. Their defense is
very much like Emeralds.
Their linemen in the box
are very good, especially
Kyle McAlister at tackle,
Keenan Washington, and
Damon Brown who is a big
defense end. Their linebackers are very fast.
After completing the
schools first undefeated
regular season in 20 years,
the Yellow Jackets have
been battling injuries. Nakeem Hoke and Deandre

Moren missed the Clinton contest. Young said,
hopefully, they both will
be back this week, but we
dont know about Jackson
Tipton (defensive back)
who had a concussion in
the Clinton game. If he
is out, Adrian McGee will
have to play that position.
Young said last weeks
game was just a typical
battle with Clinton. They
controlled the ball and the
clock, and that put pressure on our offense not to
give it right back. Clinton
also gave us some new
looks on defense, which
was challenging, but our
offensive line adapted and
graded out in the 70s,
which was just decent
enough to win.
I think we had eight
possessions and scored
on three of them, he reflected. Two drives ended
with pass interceptions, we
punted twice and failed to
make a first down once on
a fourth down situation. It
was the kind of game we
have every time we play
Clinton. It wasnt pretty,
but we kept fighting and
found a way to win, which
we have been doing in recent years.
Our kids are excited to
be playing another week,
and I expect a good week
of practice, Young adds.
Friday nights winner
will advance to face the
winner of South Pointe vs.
Seneca in the third round
Cedric Sullivan will need to continue to be a force for the Yellow Jacket defense if Greer
hopes to defeat Belton-Honea Path on Friday.

Warriors seek revenge

In rematch
with
Vikings
By Billy Cannada
Sports Editor
Riverside and Spartanburg will meet up for a
second time Friday night,
battling it out in the first
round of the Class AAAA
playoffs.
For head coach Phil
Smith, it will be his first
trip to the postseason
since taking the reigns at
Riverside.
Theres an excitement
about being in the playoffs, Smith said. Spartanburg was one of our
turnaround games. The
last time we played them,
we played well. At one
point, it was 27-17. I think
we gave up 14 points on
special teams last time, so
if you take some of those
things away its a little different ball game.
Spartanburg had been
dealing with injuries earlier in the season, but Smith
said the Warriors should
see a full strength Viking
team on Friday.
Going into it this time,
I know (Tavien) Feaster is
healthy, he said. Hes unbelievable. Hes got a lot of
speed and he runs really
hard. Theyve also got very
good receivers and some
dangerous weapons.

Spartanburg will likely

We had a good game
plan against them last
time defensively, Smith
said. Its definitely a new
challenge. Were in the
playoffs, so theres a lot
more at stake. Hopefully
we can play as well as we
did last time and contain
some of those things they
were able to break on us
last time.
Focusing on not giving
up the big play is going
to be key for a Riverside
team that has struggled
in that area at times this
season.
I think the key is really
going to be our special
teams play, along with be-
ing able to contain Feaster, he said.

After failing to win a
game last season, Smith
said his team could not be
more excited to keep its
season alive.
The kids are excited
to be here, Smith said.
These guys are ready to
get back to work. Its different and you can feel
that its different. Its more
relaxed at this time of year
and the kids know what to
do by now and how to do
it.
Kickoff is set for 7:30
p.m. at Spartanburg.
Byrnes will meet Boiling

Springs in the first round
of the Class I-AAAA playoffs, looking for a second
win over the Bulldogs this
season.
The Rebels capped the
regular season with a
dominating 62-9 win over
Wade Hampton, but now
face a tough postseason
schedule.
I definitely feel like we
have a tough bracket,
Lane said. On any championship road, youre going to have to beat people,
but I think we have a really
strong bracket that were
in. Were just going to
have to play and see how
it turns out.
Now with a healthy starting quarterback, Boiling
Springs will be a much different team from the first
outing.
The main thing (when
we played them the first
time) was that they didnt
have Daniel Thompson,
he said. That was the big
thing. With him being back,
it changes the dynamics, at
least on offense. Were going to have to get out here
and play to the best of our
abilities and hope we come
out with the win.
Lane said the team can
still learn from the September game film.
You can definitely still
look at the game film,
Lane said. Theyre not
going to change up plays
necessarily. They still have
two really good receivers
and a good running back.
You have to attack it the
same way.
On defense, Boiling
Byrnes will take on Boiling Springs in the opening round

of the Class I-AAAA playoffs
Were just going to have to play and see

how it turns out.
Brian Lane
Byrnes Head Coach

Springs will show multiple
looks.
They like to be in what
I call a 50 look, he said.
Theyll show a 3-2 (defense) on some things,
but they can give you multiple looks out of it. They
play man, they play zone,
so they change it up with
some different things.

Theyre pretty good on
that side of the ball.

Blue Ridge falls to

South Pointe, 56-0
By Billy Cannada
Sports Editor
We made way too many mistakes to be
A depleted Blue Ridge

squad was no match for
South Pointe Friday night.
The Tigers failed to get
on the board for the second straight week, dropping the final game of the
season 56-0 in round one
of the Class AAA playoffs.
It was tough, head
coach Shane Clark said.
We lost three more defensive starterstwo in
the first quarter and one
midway through the second quarter. We ended up
with a very young group
trying to play defense over
there.
Blue Ridge had already
lost several players to
injury last week against
Greer, and five the week
before to suspension.
South Pointe made the
Tigers pay, gaining an insurmountable 44-0 advantage at the half.
We made way too many
mistakes to be playing a
team like South Pointe, he
said. We were finally able
to move the ball a little
bit and we end up turning it over. We had a lot
of missed tackles and way
too many mistakes to be
able to have any success.
Clark said his team had
no answer for South Pointe
quarterback Greg Ruff,
who passed for 158 yards
and two touchdowns, adding 80 additional yards on
the ground.
playing a team like South Pointe.

Shane Clark
Blue Ridge head coach

Their quarterback is
very good and we had
a hard time containing
him, Clark said. Wed
make some plays and hed
break free and run extremely well. We had a lot
of trouble containing him.
He made a lot of their big
plays.
Losing so many starters
put Blue Ridge in an awkward position down the
stretch, Clark said.
Ive had one other situation like this before, he
said. Back when I was at
TR, maybe my fourth year,
we ended up losing about
10 to 11 starters by about
the third game. Our two
quarterbacks both got
Mono and we had about
six torn ACLs, and none
of them were football related. That was a lot of
adversity and about the
only time Ive ever faced
anything quite like what
weve had here at the end
of the season.
We try to stress every
day that everybody needs
to know their role and be
able to step up, Clark
added. You never know
when your number could
be called.
Saying goodbye to a
group of successful seniors is the hardest part of

losing, Clark said.
This senior class has
been one of the top classes at Blue Ridge, he said.
Theyve won a lot of
games and theyve laid a
great foundation for us.
Weve got to be able to
build off of it.
With some returning talent in the backfield and on
defense, the head coach
said there is plenty of reason to be optimistic.
The goal is to try to get
better every single day,
Clark said. Well start our
offseason program here
shortly and get back into
it with the guys. I know
theyll come to work and
thats all you can ask of
them.
This Tiger team will be
remembered for its hard
work.
I think back to where we
were in our preseason and
not a lot of people gave us
a chance to win maybe one
or two games, Clark said.
To see these guys come
together and accomplish
what they did was very rewarding.
Dorman clobbered Riverside during the final game of the regular season, winning by four
touchdowns. The Warriors hope to bounce back this Friday at Spartanburg.

Turning up the heat

Greer girls basketball coach Carlton Greene is getting his team ready to play, kicking off
November practices last week. The Lady Jackets will face Laurens on Nov. 24.
William Buchheit | The Greer Citizen
Riverside was nearly

blanked during the regular
season finale against Dorman, falling 35-7 during
an emotional senior night.
Their defensive front
was a lot better than I had
anticipated, head coach
Phil Smith said. They
werent the biggest that
weve played against, but
they were very quick off
the ball.
That quickness held Riverside scoreless for the
first three quarters, allowing the Cavaliers to build
a 35-0 lead. Emanuel Jackson scored the Warriors
only points of the night on
an 18-yard run late in the
fourth.
They did some things
that really messed with
some of our reads, Smith
said. They executed a lot
of things really well and
their quarterback made
some tremendous throws.
It was hard to blitz him because he got rid of the ball
so fast. Most of the night,
he was throwing quick
game, so it was hard to get
to him.
Riverside players were

coping with the sudden
passing of a classmate.
We had several of our
guys that were pretty good
friends with the young
man who passed away,
so they had that on their
minds, Smith said. It
was a tough ball game and
I dont think we played our
best game.
Theres more to life
than football for these
guys, he said. I lost a really good friend of mine
during a car accident in
college. Its hard to deal
with as a young person.
You just question a lot of
things. The loss of your
friend and knowing theyre
not going to be there the
next day, you cant really
compare it to anything.
On the field, Dorman
quarterback Collin Hill
gave Riverside all it could
handle, tossing four touchdowns.
Collin Hill is probably
the best quarterback, I
think, in the upstate, as
far as a true drop-back
quarterback, he said. J.J.
Whiteside, obviously, is a
tremendous athlete. You
dont ever want to give up
the big play and youre doing something good if hes
not scoring touchdowns.
Unfortunately, he got one
Friday. He made one guy
miss and took it to the
house.
Smith said it was fun going up against his former
They werent the

biggest that weve
played against,
but they were very
quick off the ball.
Phil Smith
Riverside head coach
team.
It was fun going up
against coach (David) Gutshall, he said. I really
learned a lot and tried to
better myself studying his
offensive game. Just like
Bobby Bentley, hes going
to find and exploit your
weaknesses. Its my job,
as a coordinator, to correct those and disguise
some of the things we do.
It keeps your mind rolling
constantly.
All those guys are
still really close friends
of mine, Smith said. It
was a tough night to go
up against them. I knew
it was a tough challenge
to begin with. Theyre everything that people have
been saying. To be on the
other sideline now is fun
and challenging.
Riverside will open postseason play this Friday at
Spartanburg.

Bad drafting has sent Falcons back to birds
here arent all that

many diehard Falcons
fans out there. Never
winning a Super Bowl has
a way of keeping them
scarce. But for the last
half-decade, anyway,
Atlanta was at least competitive and respectable.
We were finally starting
to forget all those losing
seasons and bad drafts,
the Petrino debacle and
the Vick scandal, the
Eugene Robinson embarrassment and that clown,
Jerry Glanville
Heck, wed done more
than just turn the corner.
The Falcons had become
one of the most consistent teams in football,
amassing a 56-24 record
over the last five years.
In 2013, in fact, they
were just ten yards away
from the Superbowl, but
The Buck
stops here
William
Buchheit
Matt Ryans short pass to
Roddy White was knocked
down. And Atlanta s
five-year run of success
came crashing down with
it.
The team, quite simply,
has never recovered. Even
though theyve retained
the entire offensive
nucleus of Ryan, White
and Julio Jones, the Falcons are 3-6 and have lost
18 of their last 25 games.
Theyve sunk well past
obscurity and into that
realm of hopelessness
typically reserved for the

Oaklands, Tampas and
Jacksonvilles of the world.
So how did it happen?
How did Atlanta go from
one of the best teams in
football to consecutive
dismal seasons, seemingly
overnight?
Theyve certainly had
their fair share of coaching mistakes, bad contracts and injuries, but
whats really doomed the
team has been the draft.
If you look at the Falcons draft history since
its inaugural 1966 season,
its a miracle that Atlanta
still has a team. Theyve
drafted three Hall-ofFamers in 48 years. The
Steelers drafted four in
the 1974 draft, for Gods
sake. To make matters
worse, one of those Hallof-Famers was Brett Favre,
who was traded to the

Packers in 1992 without
starting a game in Atlanta.
But the bad drafts
seemed to be a thing of
the past when, in 2008,
the Falcons took Matt
Ryan with their first pick,
and then got starters
Sam Baker, Curtis Lofton,
Thomas DeCoud, Kroy
Bierman and Harry Douglas behind him. Unfortunately, the 2009 draft was
a train wreck, producing
just one player (second
round safety William
Moore) whos starting
on this years team. The
first-round pick that year,
Peria Jerry retired last
summer after a short and
dismal career.
In 2010, they took Sean
Witherspoon, who played
well for two years but
whos played in just seven
of the last 26 games and

may well be looking into
other career options since
tearing his Achilles over
the summer.
Those two drafts obviously caught up with
Atlanta, but it was the
2011 draft that sent the
team into disarray. In
case you forgot, thats the
year the Falcons sent five
draft picks to Cleveland
for the sixth overall pick,
which they used to select
Julio Jones. Theres no
question that Jones is one
of the leagues ten best receivers, but its also indisputable that the trade has
hurt the Falcons. Conversely, its finally bearing
fruit for the Browns, who
are 6-3 and on top of the
AFC North.
What the Falcons have
now is a jaw-dropping
dearth of talent. Of
the 19 linemen theyve
drafted since 2008, none
have made the Pro-Bowl.
There is no pass protection on offense and no
pass rush on defense.
Youre left with two great
receivers who dont have
time to run routes and a
team ranked 26th in the
league in rushing.
The defense, meanwhile,
is not only the leagues
worst, but made Teddy
Bridgewater and Andy
Dalton look like Warren
Moon and Jim Kelly.
Sadly, it took several
years for the franchise
to make this miss, and
it looks like its going to
take at least that long to
get out of it.

B6 THE GREER CITIZEN
Crusaders drop GREER: Turnovers nearly cost season

game to Catawba
FROM B1
In the final road contest

of the season, the North
Greenville football team
suffered a 28-17 defeat
at the hands of Catawba
College last Saturday afternoon.
The Indians used a 14play, 62-yard drive to gain
a quick 7-0 advantage
on the opening drive of
the game. The Crusaders
quickly responded to tie
the game at 7-7 as junior
Cedric Proctor returned
the ensuing kickoff 84
yards for a score.
North Greenville then
used a seven-play, 62-yard
drive to take a 14-7 lead on
its following drive, capitalizing on a five-yard touchdown rush by sophomore
Simeon Byrd with just under four minutes to play in
the first.
Catawba tied the game
as time ran out in the
first, leaving the Crusader
defense searching for answers. North Greenvilles
Justin Gravely netted a
25-yard field goal with 26
seconds left in the second
quarter as the Crusaders
took a 17-14 lead into the
break.
The second half was controlled by Catawba. The Indians used two touchdown
runs by quarterback Mike
Sheehan to secure the 11point victory.
The North Greenville
offense struggled to accumulate 303 total yards,
as quarterback Nelson
Hughes finished the day
18-of-34 for 239 yards
passing. Byrd was the
teams leading rusher, carrying the ball 12 times for
35 yards and a touchdown.
Senior Thomas Weeks
led all receivers with six
catches for 117 yards.
Junior Taylor Anderson
led the defense with 13
total tackles. Sophomore
Quan Weeks finished with
12 stops of his own and
sophomore Tony Godbolt
totaled nine tackles in the
game. Fellow sophomore
Nigel Gay finished with
eight tackles and one interception.
The Crusaders (5-5) will
return home on Saturday,
Nov. 15 for the final game
of the season against Newberry College.
TITLES: RHS takes state

FROM B1
They knew they had nothing to lose, so they went

for it.
Cate Ambrose, who
took the individual championship with a time of
18:07.23, won 33 points
for the Lady Warriors, who
repeated as state champions.
Ashley Fallow (18:43),
Carter Marchbanks (18:47),
Jessie Crowley (18:54) and
Emma Spencer (18:56) finished on the all-state girls
team.
Cummings said the titles mean a little more this
year.
They were all on top
of each other yelling and
screaming, he said. There
was a lot of celebratinga
lot of tears.
Coming in as an underdog, Cummings said the
boys had to work hard for
everything they earned.
They work really hard,
Cummings said. They are
very youngthe youngest

team out there. They pretty much do whatever we
ask them to do. Theyve
had some ups and downs
on the boys side. Weve
won some meets and weve
gone in and blown some
meets that we should have
won. Its kind of one of
those scenarios where everything fell together at
the perfect time.
The head coach said the
race was won at the finish
line for the guys.
At the end of the meet,
not one of my seven guys
got passed the last 200
meters, he said. We probably got eight points passing other teams in those
last 200 meters. It was
huge. That last straight
away won it.
We only have one senior
on the guys team, so they
should come back strong
next year, especially with
the confidence that they
have, Cumming said.

best player, and Lindsey

is the best player on our
team. Hes also the hardest worker on our team.
Young described the rematch as a typical, physical game with Clinton. I
wasnt surprised, because
football is what they do in
Clinton, and theyre good
at it. Clinton is a heck of
a 2-7 team that barely lost
to the top two teams in
their region.
We had seen their wildcat, but Clinton did some
things on defense that
surprised us, and that
was difficult. Our defense
and offense played well
enough to win, though,
and Im proud of our kids,
he said.
The
Yellow
Jackets
grabbed a 7-0 lead on their
first possession when
quarterback Mario Cusano
delivered a 74-yard touchdown bomb to Lindsey
streaking down the sidelines, and Nick Roberson
added the extra point.
PICK KILLS MOMENTUM
Greer was again knocking at the door at the 15yard-line when Clinton
defender Tay Cook made
a sensational, leaping pass
interception as he was going out-of-bounds at the
two-yard line. That really
hurt, said Young of the
play that killed Greers
momentum and gave the
Red Devils new life.
From there, Clinton
drove 98 yards to score
in 18 plays, burning nine
minutes off the clock in
the process. Greer helped
out with two costly 15yard penalties, and the
visitors twice converted
fourth-down
situations.
Clinton eventually scored
on a five-yard pass from
Charlie Craven to Chandler Todd, but Elvis Fritz
misfired on the extra point
leaving the Yellow Jackets
ahead 7-6.
Clinton then picked off
another Cusano pass, but
turned the ball back over
when Shakeam Dowdy
fumbled and Tyler Wright
pounced on the ball at the
Red Devils 31-yard line
with 1:23 remaining in the
half.
Greer narrowly missed
a touchdown when a Cusano pass was dropped in
the end zone and had to
settle for a 22-yard Roberson field goal to take a
10-6 halftime lead.
But we were much better off than the first game
when we trailed 13-0 at
the half, Young noted.
Yet the Yellow Jackets
could not capitalize on
two quick trips deep into
Clinton territory in the
third period. The Red Devils forced Greer to punt at

the 30-yard line, and later
Cusanos fourth-and-three
run came up a yard short
at the 32-yard line.
Clinton then took the
lead with a 68-yard drive
helped along by a pair of
huge penalties against the
Yellow Jackets. Blackmon
scored from two yards
out, and Fitz kicked the
extra point, which surprised me, because Clinton has always gone for
a two-point conversion in
those situations, Young
said later
Trailing 13-10 as the
fourth period opened, the
Yellow Jackets fielded a
short kickoff and proceeded to the end zone
68 yards away. Cusano
launched a 16-yard pass to
Lindsey to start the march
and the same combination
soon worked again for a
nine-yard gain to the Red
Devils 21-yard stripe.
I was proud of our

kids tonight.
Will Young
Greer head coach
WILDCAT APPEARS
Then Lindsey went into

the shotgun to reel off a
six-yard gain, and later
scored from 10 yard out
on a run up the middle.
Robersons conversion put
Greer up by four points
with 9:45 left to play.
Clinton came back with
a long drive that featured
a 22-yard gain on a trick
halfback pass from Vee
Thompson to Michael
Mann. But Greer managed
to hold on downs at the
33-yard line when a fourth
down pass went astray.
Although Greer gave up
points for the first time
in three weeks, Defensive
Coordinator Travis Perry
said I was proud of our
kids tonight. We were
handicapped because two
starters, Nakeem Hoke
and Deandre Moren were
out with injuries and then
Jackson Tipton went out
with a concussion in the
first half. But two offensive linemen, Cole Henderson and Noah Hannon
stepped up and played
just about the whole game
on defense, and Adrian
McGee had to play more
than usual in the secondary.
Perry added, penalties
really hurt us on Clintons
two scoring drives, but our
kids hung in there, and
Tyler Wright had a terrific
game at linebacker, probably his best of the season.
With Lindsey still at wildcat, Greer had a chance to

pad the lead on the next
series, moving for two first
downs to the Clinton 36yard line. But the Yellow
Jackets went backwards
when Lindsey had to fall
on a high center snap for
a 14-yard loss, and McGee
was dropped behind the
line for a 10-yard loss on
the next play. Clinton took
over after a Greer punt
with :07 left, and managed
to complete a 20-yard pass
to Cook who was smothered near midfield as time
expired.
The stats were as close
as the final score. Greer
chalked up 15 first downs
on 260 total yards. The
Yellow Jackets rushed for
120 yards, and completed
nine of 17 passes for 140
air yards.
Clinton put up 221 yards
for 14 first downs. The
Red Devils rushed for 174
yards and threw for 47
more on three completions
in eight pass attempts.
Greer had two turnovers
on pass interceptions
while Clinton lost one
fumble. The Red Devils
were penalized 12 times
for 120 yards while Greer
drew 95 yards in penalties
on nine flags. Clinton had
the edge in time of possession, controlling the ball
for 66 plays to Greers 54
snaps.

career, Lattimore said in

a recent statement. I have
given my heart and soul to
the game that I love, and
its time for me to move
on to the next chapter of
my life and help others. I
have given every ounce of
my energy toward making a full recovery from
my knee injury, and I have
made a lot of progress.
Unfortunately,
getting
my knee fully back to the
level the NFL demands has
proven to be insurmountable.
Lattimore was drafted
by the San Francisco 49ers
in 2013, leaving the Gamecocks a season early.
I am grateful for the entire 49ers organization,
he said. Their decision to
draft me was the realization of a lifelong dream
to be an NFL player, and I
cannot thank them enough
for believing in me and for
doing everything in their
power to assist in my recovery. I will always be a
49er.
During his college career, Lattimore rushed for
2,677 yards and scored a
total of 41 touchdowns.
He will return to Columbia
to complete his degree.
Though I am proud of
what I have accomplished
throughout my football career, I am sincerely disappointed that it must end,
but I trust that God has a
great plan for my future.
As for whats next, I will be
returning to the University
of South Carolina to complete my degree, he said.

Former editor launches second book

Features
some new
columns
By Billy Cannada
Editor
Leland Burch is continuing to tell his story, and
he is hoping to make you
laugh again.
A longtime resident of
Greer, Burch will launch
his second book, What
Could Possibly Go Wrong
this week.
This is another collection of columns that I
wrote when I was editor
of The Greer Citizen, he
said. Theyre humorous
columns. Theyre just on
general topicsgoing on
vacation, things that break
around the housestuff
like that. The title is What
Could Possibly Go Wrong
because, in nearly all the
columns, theyre about
something
that
went
wrong.
Burch released his first
book, Greer SC The Center of the Universe last
November.
The first book was all
about Greer history, Greer
events, Greer High School
and that kind of thing,
Burch said.
It was dedicated to
Suzanne Greene, a wellknown Greer artist that
passed away after a battle
with cancer. Greene gave Burch the

idea for a book and he ran
with it.
She was always bugging
me to put my columns in
a book, he said. When
she would go in for (chemotherapy) treatment, she
would draw little sketches
to illustrate my columns.
One day, she gave me a
big folder full of them
and said, These are the
sketches
for
your
book. From then on, I
knew I was going to do a
book.
The process of bringing
it all together has not been
an easy one.
I had to make copies
of every column because
we didnt save them back
then, Burch said. I went
through all of them and
picked out a couple hundred of the best ones. A
lot of them were just aw-
ful, but I tried to find the

most humorous ones.
I have enough for
(three) books, he said.
Burch said he hopes his
new installment will be
well received.
Im hoping this will appeal to people of a wider
area, he said. Once you
get outside of Greer, people dont really get excited
about the title of the first
book. Hopefully people
will be able to relate to
this one.
It will feature new columns, not previously published in The Greer Citizen.
When Bullocks sign
was stolen over at the barber shop, I wrote a column
about that and thats in
this book, he said. Right
after I retired, I had a lot
of problems with my back,
so there are columns in
this book about what I
went through trying to
get that straightened out.
These (columns) havent
appeared anywhere else.
Every story in there is
humorousor should be,
Burch said with a laugh.
Its intended to be.
Mastering the art of column writing comes with
plenty of trial and error,
but requires a community
touch, Burch said.
When I became the editor in 1985, I started writing a column, he said. I
wrote a few columns just
about general things and
then I wrote one that was
kind of funny and I got
I wrote a few columns just about general

things and then I wrote one that was kind
of funny and I got such a good response
on that one. I just
thought, from
then on, Id try to
write funny stuff to
brighten peoples
day.
Leland Burch
Author
such a good response on

that one. I just thought,
from then on, Id try to
write funny stuff to brighten peoples day.
When I was writing a
column, for many years, I
would try to complement
somebody within the community. I would give them
the Rose of the Week for
doing something to make
the community a better
place to live, Burch added. I did that for many
years.
Collecting columns has
been worthwhile for Burch,
who spent many years delivering news in the city.
Its been very rewarding, the Greer book especially, he said. After so
many years of going to
city council meetings, club
meetings and high school

football games, I knew I
put a lot of time and a lot
of hours working full-time
in the community.
Although he would like
to sell a few copies, Burch
did not get into this venture for the money.
This is not a money
making venture, he said.
I dont think Ive broken
even on the first book yet,
but its just something I
wanted to do.
The new book will be
available Friday for $15.
It can be purchased at The
Greer Citizen office, located at 317 Trade Street, or
other Greer locations.
Chili Cook Off

rocks Tuesdays
on Trade event
By Billy Cannada
Editor
Trade Street was packed
with taste-testers last
Tuesday night during
Greer Station Associations
first Chili Cook Off.
The event, which ran
from 5:45-8:30 p.m., was
part of the organizations
Tuesdays on Trade series.
As for the results, Spotted Dog won Best Overall,
Wild Ace Pizza & Pub won
We were very
pleased with how
the whole event
went and we happy
we made the
decision to go ahead
and do it.
Kyle Mensing
Commercial development coordinator

Best Restaurant and The
City Hollers won Peoples
Choice.
The chamber had previously done one, but I dont
think weve had one downtown for roughly three
years now, Kyle Mensing,
commercial development
coordinator, said.
We were kind of talking
through planning events
and we decided to give
the chili cookoff a shot.
We were very pleased with
how the whole event went
and we happy we made

the decision to go ahead
and do it.
Tickets were available
for $1 and sales benefited
Greer Relief.
Greer Station Association and the merchants
involved love to support
the Greer community and
Greer Relief is a very close
partner of ours, Mensing
said. Part of the reason we
thought to do the cookoff
in November is because
its coming up on Thanksgiving and we thought it
would be a good way to
raise awareness for Greer
Relief.
Canned goods were also
collected for Greer Relief.
I dont have the exact
numbers yet, but we raised
at least $800 through
ticket sales, plus canned
goods and I think they
raised some more at the
table that was set up, he
said. Not bad for a Tuesday night.
The series has seen some
success and has produced
some fan favorite events,
Mensing said.
We keep experimenting
to see what works the best,
he said. Some events like
the chili cook off, the fashion show and the Trucks
on Trade have really gotten a great turnout. We do
have some events that are
excellent for this community and were really looking forward to continuing
to grow those and build
off those.
Serious competition
The Greer Station Association hosted a Chili Cook Off last Tuesday. Spotted
Dog won Best Overall, Wild Ace Pizza & Pub won Best Restaurant and The City
Hollers won Peoples Choice.

Sylvester Stallone in The
Expendables 3
COUCH THEATER
DVD previews
By Sam Struckhoff
NEW RELEASES
FOR WEEK OF NOV. 24
PICKS OF THE WEEK
The Expendables 3
(PG-13) Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jet Li and a host of
other big names resume
their duties of being expandable without ever
getting expended. A huge
ensemble isnt really the
point of shoot em up action flicks, but The Expendables offers us the
hope that by simply cramming tons of old-school
tough-as-nails movie stars
into one project, an awesome movie must form
under the weight of all
that muscle-mass.
Of all the action movies
to come out this year, this
is absolutely the movie
with the most crowded
poster. Wesley Snipes and
Antonio Banderas enter
the line up, along with
some younger actors with
shorter resumes. Even fans
of the franchise will be let
down by the lack of surprises. Mel Gibson plays a
fun-to-watch unhinged antagonist, which is almost a
surprise.
The Giver (PG-13)
Jonas (Brenton Thwaites)
lives in a black-and-white
world where individuality and emotions are suppressed in the name of
controlling conflict. When
he comes of age, the community assigns him to be
The Receiver, the one
person who holds all of the
communitys memories of
what the world once was.
As Jonas receives more
memories from the Giver
(Jeff Bridges), he starts to
see things for what they
really are.
The beloved novel by
Lois Lowry gets its own
film adaptation just in
time to cash in on the dystopian teen fiction trend
in Hollywood. It doesnt
have the same impact
as the novel, but it also
steers clear of the cliches
of the current genre no
love triangles or werewolf
fights. The story is there,
but the pacing and drama
dont fly off of the screen.
The November Man
(R) Heres a premise that
Ive never seen before, and
Im not sure if audiences
can handle it: A hardened
ex-CIA agent gets pulled
out of retirement for one
more mission. Hes been
backstabbed by some former pals, and he even has
to go up against a younger
operative that he himself
trained! The plot has lots
of twists and turns, but
nothing outside genre
standards. Pierce Brosnan
gives a delightfully nuanced performance as the
grizzled protagonist, but
its not enough to raise
this movie above the average. Average can still be
good enough for a rental,
though, especially if you
need more globe-trotting
spy battles.
What If (R) To complete the cascade of cliched genre-flicks in this
weeks roundup, we have a
lukewarm romantic comedy about attractive latetwentysomethings living in
a chic urban environment.
Wallace (Daniel Radcliffe)
and Chantry (Zoe Kazan)
have instant chemistry full
of lovely banter and adorable compatibility. Shes
got a long-term boyfriend,
so the likable leads cant
jump right into romance.
Youll be simultaneously
charmed and annoyed by
their arbitrarily extended
courtship.

Clint Eastwoods cinematic adaptation of Jersey Boys

never quite captures the plays vitality.
WILLIAM
BUCHHEIT
Adapted from John
le Carres 2008 bestseller, the film concerns
a Russian/Chech Muslim
(Grigory Dobrygin), who
comes to Hamburg seeking the inheritance of his
late father. Believing him
a terrorist, the American
CIA and German government want him arrested.
A German espionage
agent (Hoffman), however,
believes the mystery man
can provide critical intelligence on Al Queda and
is therefore worth more
alive and free than in
custody or dead.
The movie is full of
good actors, but Robin
Wright, Willem DeFoe
and Rachel McAdams
dont get the screen time
they should. Meanwhile,
Dobrygins character is
frustratingly quiet, functioning more as a symbol
for collateral damage than
an actual person. The only
character given any real
substance is Hoffmans.
In his last movie role, he
plays Gunther Bachman
with a weariness that cuts
to the viewers core. Even
with his fake German accent, its sometimes difficult to parse his character

Steel Magnolias is a

sisters death. The title
suggests the female characters are as delicate as
magnolias but as tough as
steel. The magnolia specifically references a magnolia tree they are arguing
about at the beginning.

FURMAN HOSTS RECITAL

IN MEMORIAL CHAPEL
Celebrating the 10th anniversary of Furman Universitys installation and

121), Furman will present
a recital Monday, Nov. 17,
at 8 p.m. in the Charles E.
Daniel Memorial Chapel
on campus.
vincing blend of charisma

and insecurity. That he
and the supporting actors
performed all of the films
music live with the cameras rolling is the movies
most impressive feat.
Actors dont always make
the transition from stage
to screen, but Youngs arresting ability to sing like
Valli made him an easy
pick for the part.
The supporting cast is
solid (if not spectacular)
and Eastwood does a
laudable job developing
each band member. The
growing tension between
Valli and Four Seasons
guitarist Tommy DeVito
forms the dramatic core
of the story and remains
convincing throughout.
Unfortunately the same
cannot be said for Vallis
relationships with his
wife, girlfriend or children, who remain superficial even when tragedy
strikes. Another aspect
lost in the translation
from stage to screen is
the storys sense of humor, which sadly remains
as muted as the movies
color tones.
One of the unique
Broadway narrative
techniques that does in
fact transition well is the

directors use of multiple
points-of-view. Every band
member but Valli gets
his chance to address the
camera directly, providing
the viewer with additional
insight into both their
characters and the bigger
story at hand.
Some reviewers have
criticized Eastwoods oldfashioned style, but the
same traditional formula
has worked beautifully
in other biopics set in
the same era (Ray, Ali
and Walk the Line are
all examples). What hurts
Eastwoods Jersey Boys
isnt so much its narrative
path but rather its lack
of inherent excitement.
Ultimately, it is simply
too serious and detached
to offer the same jolt of
magic.
In fact, it is only in the
performances of songs
such as Dawn, Sherry
and Walk Like a Man
that Jersey Boys really
shines. Thankfully there
are enough of these
sequences to recommend
the film to fans of both
The Four Seasons and/or
early 60s rock music.
The recital is open to the

public and features guest
artists Dr. Timothy Olsen
(organ) and Ms. Judith Saxton (trumpet). Tickets for
the Hartness Organ Series
event are $12 for adults,
$10 for seniors and $5 for
students. A reception for

THEATRE SCHEDULE
The Civil War: The Musical Jan. 16-25

Thrilling,
gut-wrenching and awe-inspiring, the
Tony-nominated musical
The Civil War commemorates the 150 year anniversary of the end of one
of the greatest conflicts
in American history and
explores the experiences
of the soldiers and leaders
who fought for their way
of life. It also examines
the lives of the lovers and
families they left behind,
as well as the hopes and
fears of the slaves whose
freedom was at stake.
Drawing from the American musical genres of
rock, country, gospel, folk
and rhythm and blues,
The Civil War asks us to
consider our beliefs about
freedom, honor and faith.

Botox can lessen

eye muscle spasms
DEAR DR. ROACH: I
have been contending with
blepharospasm for years. I
got some relief from Botox
for about four years, but
then it stopped working
and my doctor moved me
to Dysport, which was horrible. It did not relax my
symptoms, and it made
me constantly very uncomfortable (with a feeling
that my eyes were swollen
all the time). I stopped the
treatments and have been
able to cope, until the past
six months. I am almost
unable to read, look at a
computer screen or drive.
Do you have any suggestions? I use Ativan to try
to relax the stress of the
blinking, but even that has
lost its effect. I have been
discouraged from getting a
limited myectomy because
of the risks. My ophthalmologist said that a neurologist would be a waste
of time. I am desperate for
another opinion. -- B.B.
ANSWER:
Blepharospasm is an uncontrollable muscle spasm around
the eyes, often causing
blinking and twitching. It
ranges from occasional
and mild to the much
more severe and disabling
condition you report.
Treatment with botulinum toxin is effective for
most people. Botulinum
toxin, directly injected
into muscle, weakens or
paralyzes it. There are
three types of botulinum
toxin A currently available
in the United States: Botox, Dysport and Xeomin,
as well as botulinum toxin
TO YOUR
GOOD HEALTH
KEITH
ROACH, M.D.
B (Myobloc). I suspect your
ophthalmologist changed
brands because of the concern of antibodies your
body may have developed
to the Botox.
I would never say that
a neurologist would be a
waste of time. Blepharospasm is a limited form of
dystonia, and neurologists
are the experts in dystonia. The neurologist will
have an opinion on trying
a different form of botulinum toxin, as well as other
treatments.
***
DEAR DR. ROACH: Im
a 61-year-old woman who
was diagnosed with notalgia paresthetica about five
years ago. Several years
later, my general practitioner told me to use capsaicin, which helps with the
tingling feeling but sometimes my back feels like
someone is pinching my
spine and the skin tingles,
bringing on a very uncomfortable feeling. Can
you give me any more information about this skin
condition? I am beginning
to believe that it is getting
worse. -- Anon.
ANSWER: Notalgia paresthetica is common, but
often not diagnosed, and
usually causes an itching

under one shoulderblade.
It sometimes is associated
with curvature of the spine
(scoliosis). It isnt curable,
and often gets better and
worse. Capsaicin, lidocaine
patch and other creams
usually provide some relief. Botulinum toxin and
nerve block occasionally
are used for people with
more severe symptoms
who dont respond.
***
DEAR DR. ROACH: How
often do you advise bathing a 3-month-old baby?
The hospital told my
granddaughter that you
do not have to bathe the
baby every day. Its become a concern for a worried grandparent, because
she hasnt been bathed in
a week. -- Anon.
ANSWER: Once a week is
fine. Three-month-old babies dont need frequent
washings of their whole
bodies, and excessive
bathing can dry out the
skin. A calm grandparent
is a source of much comfort to new parents.
Dr. Roach regrets that
he is unable to answer individual letters, but will
incorporate them in the
column whenever possible. Readers may email
questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu.

PAWS CORNER
DEAR PAWS CORNER: I love taking my

Golden Lab, Chloe, out
for walks in the nearby
woods. Like other dog
owners, I let her run off
leash on the trails. Unlike
other dog owners, I cant
get Chloe to stay near me.
She immediately takes off,
plunges into the pond,
then dashes away into the
forest. What can I do?
walks if you can. Youll

need to take her to an
enclosed outdoor space,
like your yard or a mostly
empty dog park.
The most basic command, of course, is
getting her to come back
when you call or whistle.
Have Chloe sit and stay
while you remove the
leash. Let her dart away
several feet, then call her
back, in a calm but firm
voice. When she comes
back, have her sit again,
then reward her. (Some
owners use treats as a
reward, others dont -- its
your decision as to what
works best, especially at
the beginning of training.)
Over time you also
should train her to stay,
sit or lie down at a distance.
DEAR CHUCK: It
sounds like Chloe is an
energetic and fun dog!
Thats always great, but
I feel your pain when it
comes to tracking her
down in the woods.
Work on her off-leash
skills, first and foremost.
Make this a part of her
training every single day
