Greer council to receive raise

STAFF WRITER
For the first time since
2000, the City of Greer will
raise the compensation for
its city council members.
Last week, Greer City
Council approved the first
reading of an ordinance
that will raise the amount
they are compensated, be-
ginning Jan. 1.
City Administrator Ed
Driggers said he took into
account what other cities
paid to their council members when deciding on the
issue. Cities studied were
Aiken, Anderson, Bluffton,
Cayce, Conway, Florence,
Lexington, Mauldin, Mt.
Pleasant, North Augusta,
Simpsonville, Sumter and
West Columbia. Driggers

said Greer City Council
member salaries are well
below those in the comparison group.
Currently,
council
members earn $6,000 a
year while mayor protem Wayne Griffin earns
$6,300 and Mayor Rick
Danner earns $9,600. If
second reading passes on
Nov. 10, council will receive $10,000 annually.

Mayor pro-tem will earn
$10,500, and the mayor

and beyond forfeited sleep
in order to be one of the
first 100 customers in the
doors at the new Aldi supermarket, located corner
of Wade Hampton Boulevard and Poinsett Street,
last Thursday.
Ellen Fisk, of Columbus,
North Carolina and her
daughter Polly Fioravanti
were the first to arrive on

Thursday morning. They
left Columbus at 3 a.m.
in order to arrive around
4:30 a.m.
I wanted to find out
what it feels like to be first
in line for an opening,
she said. Ive never done
if before.
Fisk actually tried to be
first at another Aldi opening recently.
She tried to be the first
customer up at our Boiling
Springs opening earlier
this month, and missed
out on it by a little bit so
she told me she wasnt going to miss out on it this
time, Lance Martin, Aldi
district manager in the
Jefferson, Georgia division
said. She strolled in just a

little before 5 a,m, and got
her spot in line.
We couldnt sleep last
night so we decided to
come early. Fisk said.
Its worth doing once in a
while, especially for Aldi,
Fisk said.
Her reward? A $100 gift
card. Her daughter also received a $25 gift card.
Just behind them was
Mark Livernois, who also
received a $100 gift card.
He normally drives to the
store in Taylors for his
Aldi groceries.
Behind Livernois was a
line that snaked around
the parking lot. Store manager Rebecca Gonzalez

Greers Joshuas Way

to collect gift shoeboxes
For Operation
Christmas
Child
What: Operation Christmas

Child
Where: Joshuas Way
1001 W. Poinsett St., Greer
When: Nov. 16-23, 9 a.m.
This November, Joshuas

Way will again serve as a
shoebox collection site
for Operation Christmas
Child.
The annual Samaritans
Purse project allows those
donating to fill a shoebox
with items to send overseas to needy children.
Through the simple
act of filling a shoebox,
someone in Greer can
make a tangible difference in the life of a child
halfway around the world.
Anyone can participate
and bring joy to a child
facing difficult circumstances,
said regional
director Keith Burney.

During national collection week, Nov. 1623,
the organization is hoping Greer and surrounding
area residents will
contribute more than 58,000
shoeboxes to the 2015
global goal of reaching 11
million children in need.
Joshuas Way will be collecting each day during
the week, beginning at 9
a.m.. A full list of area collection locations can be
found online at samaritanspurse/occ.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The importance
of research
To the editor,
I write to thank you for
helping make the public aware of persons who
were possibly buried at
the ONeal property, so
descendants can join to
restore and maintain that
property.
I was especially interested in Billy Cannadas
piece, published Aug. 26
and his phrase according
to records, used in reference to a Col. John Thomas. As a researcher, I was
curious. So, as a member
of the Daughters of the
American Revoltion and
corresponding secretary
of the Joyce Scott Chapter
in Greer, I asked our Chapter Registrar, Charlotte
Koehler, to see if anyone
had ever joined on his service record.
To our great surprise,
we learned that forty-two
applicants did become
members of the DAR on
WANT TO HELP?
his record. I have now sent

a request to the state archives for corroboration
of this record. I also asked
if he had received land for
his service. It will be interesting to see if he did receive land and if it is in the
ONeal area.
I have requested that the
register of deeds examine
the Grantor/Grantee Index to see if the names of
Edwards, Rush or Thomas
are included.
In the future, it might be
that I will find the person
who most recently joined
on the Thomas service.
That would be exciting for
any area relatives who can
either meet or correspond
with her.
Again, thank you for
your contribution to the
ongoing collection of historical records.
Samaritans Purse is an
international Christian relief and evangelism organization headed by Franklin
Graham. Since 1993, Operation Christmas Child has
delivered gift-filled shoeboxes to more than 124
million children in more
than 150 countries and
territories. For many of
these children, a gift-filled
shoebox is the first gift
they have ever received.

What were they thinking?

To the Editor,
The recent controversial
decision by a sharply divided (5-4) Supreme Court
to concoct a Constitutional right to homosexual
marriage wont be the
last word on the subject.
The ideologically based,
politically biased decision,
which basically puts heterophobic
homosexuals
on the same level as normal heterosexuals, so flies
in the face of reason that
it will eventually be overturned by more intelligent,
less biased judges.
Thinking people have
known for centuries that
homosexual activity is
immoral and a bad legal
precedent.
The ancient and primitive Greek and Roman societies once valued homosexual activity, but people
ultimately wised up and
deprecated it. Plato, for
example, wisely and logically opposed it as unethical. Some Supreme Court

Justices should be as wise
as Plato on this subject.
As female minds in male
bodies and male minds
in female bodies are sure
signs that something went
wrong somewhere (in nature and/or nurture), so
homosexual minds in heterosexual bodies are also
sure signs of mind/body
mismatches, are sure signs
of disorders.
Someday in the future
people will look back at
this regressive, inane decision and wonder What
were they thinking? (or IF
they were thinking).
In the meantime, its up
to decent ethical people to
work to overturn it. Lets
get started.

Definitely a hobo
happened to be in the right place

at the right time, last week, to help
judge a childrens Halloween costume
contest that included over fifty entries.
First prize was a generous gift card, so
the competition was keen, and for all
the rest, much to their dentists delight,
were tubs of candy to be given away so
that everyone went home with something, especially, high blood sugar.
It was very tempting, indeed, to choose
the toddler dressed in what looked to be
a professionally-sewn Godzilla costume,
although I suspect his mother wasnt
appreciative when, at first glance, I supposed aloud it to be a North Cakkalakki
Ditch Dog, generally a Pit-Chow mix?
In every neighborhood, theres always
one bad element: the boy who wreaks
havoc as he leads his nervous disciples
to toilet papering a yard or bashing
mailboxes, before being packed off to
military school by frustrated parents. In
our neighborhood, his name was Chuck,
and as we all filed down the shoulder
of the road, skirted by thick woods on
either side, Chuck, announced he had
brought along a packet of firecrackers
and itll be so cool to throw these under
IM JUST
SAYING
PAM STONE
cars, just as they pass us and then run in
the woods, because who could possibly
catch a bunch of kids in hundreds of
acres of which we knew every trail, every
nook and cranny?
Naturally, we all thought this was a
tremendous idea although I was roundly
told to Shut up, Stone, when I warned
I had seen on the news that Pintos were
blowing up all over the place and if a
Pinto drove past, we should probably let
it go.
As planned, we lay low in the culvert
on either side of the road (although
surely a pair of dice could be seen jutting out) and Chuck lit his first firecracker from the tip of his Marlboro, and
threw it, like a hand grenade, from the
ditch just as the first car drove over it
and was well down the street before it
finally went off.
The red brake lights, the only illumination in the dark, lit up our astonished
faces as the car screeched to a stop and
a man leapt out of the drivers seat,
screaming obscenities, and chased us
down the street with pre middle-age
speed, as one by one, like deer, we
plunged into the woods, hurtled down
an endless hill, Jennifers costume torn
away by branches and briars, revealing a
black leotard and Jennifers surprisingly
developing bust, but my own, bright
white poster board cube held me captive
and I knew, I just knew, as everyone
else was far ahead, I would be grabbed,
like Scout, trapped in that giant papiermch ham in To Kill a Mockingbird,
and killed, or worse, turned over to my
father. It takes great stamina to be a delinquent, and this I didnt have as, arms
stretched out to the side as I ran, I could
neither shield my face from low hanging
limbs or break my fall each time, which
was often, when I tripped over a root or
rock and was sent crashing to the damp
forest floor.
What was I thinking? What was I
thinking?!! I thought as my arm was
nearly dislocated by a small sapling
which flung me around in time to see

the other kids disappear into the gloom
and our assailant give up the chase and
head back to his car, engine still running, in the middle of the road. Sitting
down, panting, I rolled around on the
ground until my costume finally fell
apart and having escaped its confines,
back tracked to see if I could retrieve
any candy that might be in the general
vicinity after dropping my pillowcase
God knew where.
When I entered the kitchen, around 9,
I could hear my parents watching, Mannix, in the den.
Did you have a nice time? asked my
mother.
Wheres the candy? asked my father,
who always took all the Milky Ways.
Not a clue, I thought, relieved. No cops
had made the rounds to ask if anyone
had a kid dressed up as a die who was
trying to blow up cars.
It was O.K I said, then added, I left
it at Jennifers, and went to my room.
Lying sprawled across my bed, pulling
thorns out of my hair, I thought, Next
year, a hobo.
Definitely a hobo.

Unquotable
quotes
Snow days
and rest
There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God;

for anyone who enters Gods
rest also rests from his own
work, just as God did from his
(Hebrews 4:9-10 NIV).
n recent years catastrophic

accidentsExxon Valdez,
Three Mile Island, Chernobyl,
the fatal navigational error of
Korean Air Lines 007, the Challenger space shuttle disaster
all occurred in the middle of
the night with fatigue-stressed
operators. Rest is not optional.
Rest was never meant to be
a luxury, but a necessity for
growth, maturity, and health.
God commanded and Jesus demanded believers to withdraw.
We do not rest because our
work is done; we rest because
God created our physical, emotional, and spiritual components with a need for periodic
breaks. The old proverb is true,
If you dont come apart, you
will come apart.
Do you remember snow days?
As a child, when it snowed, you
would get up in the morning
and immediately turn on the
radio to see if school was going
to be closed. And when it was
canceled you rejoiced. You had
a free day, completely unplanned, in which you could do
anything you wanted. It was a
gift. We need to create our own
snow days, or at least some
snow time. We need blocks of
time on a regular basis to rest
our bodies and recharge our
souls, in order to remain free
of burnout and breakdown.
In coming to Jesus he gives
the rest we need. He didnt say,
Come to me, and I will tell you
where you can find rest.
When we come to him, he
gives rest for our souls. Its
better than any snow day could
give. Open your gift.

Big Thursday, toy drive

offer chance to give back
The holiday season has officially arrived,
which means there are plenty of chances to give
back.
This week, area residents will be able to do
just that in several different ways.
Big Thursday, the annual fundraiser for Greer
Community Ministries (GCM), is an all-day event
that brings the community together in a way
that few things do outside of Family Fest.
Whether its buying barbeque or hot plates or
bidding on one of many amazing items in the
online auction, there is truly something for everyone. This event is a huge success each year,
but it is always dependent upon the attendance
and participation of the local community. GCM
offers a wide range of ministries to our community, so showing up at Fairview Baptist Church
to participate on Thursday is a way of offering
your support to our neighbors.
On Sunday, the annual Syl Syl Toy Drive will
take place from 2-4 p.m. This event makes an
impact on so many levels. It honors the legacy
of a woman who loved this city and children
during her life, which was ended much too soon
during a horrific bank robbery that also claimed
the lives of two others.
It is spearheaded by her sons, David and Kevin Holtzclaw who want to pay tribute to their
mother and the things that she believed in,
while also making sure that the tragedy of her
death is never forgotten and to one day see that
justice is served and the people responsible for
her death are captured and held responsible.
It has been bigger every single year. It has
continued to grow, David said. I dont know
if we knew wed be doing this 12 years later.
The community has taken to it so much and accepted it and supported it to where were just
going to continue to go with it.
During the last several years, thousands of
toys have been collected. David expects that
trend to continue.
The event is hosted each year by the Clock

restaurant, and is a reminder of what the business and its owners mean to the community.
The restaurant isnt open on Sundays, but Jimmy Chaulkas and his family gladly open their
doors each year for this occasion. You can feel
the love and warmth of this event the moment
you walk through the doors.
If you are someone who has been to either of
these events before, you know how rewarding it
is to be involved and this year shouldnt be any
different.
If you havent been to either one, make this
the year.
Along with Greer Relief and the Greer Soup
Kitchen, Greer Community Ministries is a vital
part of our community.
Through the work of many, those agencies offer assistance to the less fortunate and elderly.
They make a difference in the lives of so many.
If you attend the toy drive, one of the best
things to do is bring one or several unwrapped
toys in, grab a cup of sweet tea and a plate of
snacks, and then grab a seat that will allow you
to just sit back and enjoy.
It is then you will see the kind of heart that
this community possesses as people walk in
with things as small as a doll to as large as a
bicycle, and do it all for the same reason. They
want to give back and make sure the holidays
are a little merrier for those who havent always
had that.

eporters are always fishing

for quotes. Quotes can legitimize, flesh out and cap
a story. Occasionally, though,
a quote will be said off the record or spoken out of context
or said in jest. These often
become my favorite quotes,
and yet they go nowhere.
They never see print; theyre
never read. I feel bad for these
quotes, and so without further
delay, I present unquotable
quotes.
Youll notice the speaker of
the quote is absent and some
details are missing. Theres no
reason to burn all my bridges.
Probably my second week
on the job I was being walked
through a building with people
I needed to know when the
person doing the introducing
walked me past his boss door.
The man was working diligently on his computer.
Hey, the boss isnt looking
at something inappropriate
this time, he joked.
Ummmm, nice to meet you?
Some of the best unquotable
quotes come on the football
field where emotions run high
and mouths just run. Much
of what is shouted by participants or coaches is not even
suitable for a column such as
this one. Instead, you have to
listen carefully to referees who
sometimes just want the game
to end.
Ugh, one such striped man
groaned, the last thing we
need is an overtime game.
I dont even think he likes
sports.
At another game I realized
members of the chain gang
have some of the best unquotable quotes. They pay close attention, oftentimes might have
a child on the team and are
usually quick with a sarcastic
remark. At one game a longsnapper just could not keep
from hiking the ball halfway to
Greenville.
Our long snapper has more
points than the entire offense,
he quipped as another football
sailed through the end zone.
Player of the Week!
Finally, and I hope I dont
give too much away with this
one, but I wrote down this
quote during a mock disaster
in conditions that really were,
well, miserable.
I wish someone would just
go ahead and set something on
fire so we can get out of here.
I couldnt agree more.

Pursue
nursing
another way
Q: Im 45 years old and
a single mom. I have a decent job, but I want to go
back to school to become
a nurse. The money would
be much better than what
I make now, but Id have
to take out student loans
to make this happen. Is it
worth the risk?
DR: Is nursing a field
worth pursuing, especially
when it is something you
love and would increase
your income significantly?
Save as much as
you possibly can
first even if its
just a little each
month.
You bet! Nursing is a very
honorable profession. Am
I going to tell you to take
out loans to make it happen? Absolutely not!
Save as much as you
possibly can first even
if its just a little each
month. Then, I want you
to look into Pell Grants,
traditional and non-traditional scholarships and
what I call the indentured servitude program.
Theres still something
of a nurse shortage in
this country, and there
are hospitals and drug
companies that will agree
to pay your school bills if
you go to work for them
afterwards for a specific
number of years.
Im proud of you.
Gaining knowledge and
improving yourself and
your career prospects are
all good things. But stay
away from student loan
debt. Its unnecessary.

Yandle lectures on local, national economics

At Greer
State Bank
annual
forum
While export growth in our country

has fallen, export growth going out of
Charleston hasnt. I think thats because of
the inland port.
Dr. Bruce Yandle
Dean Emeritus of Clemson Universitys

College of Business and Behavioral Science
BY WILLIAM BUCHHEIT
STAFF WRITER
Though
economic
growth has slowed in our
country, Clemson economist Dr. Bruce Yandle
says the Upstate continues to flourish. The beloved Clemson University
economist was once again
the featured speaker at
Greer State Banks annual
Economic Forum held
last Thursday morning at
Thornblade.
Yandle said there are
two reasons 2015 has
been a rocky year for the
US economy: inflation in
Europe and a slumping
Japanese economy. As the
value of the US dollar has
increased internationally,
exports have plummeted.
A strong dollar took
the edge off of our export growth and made it
possible for Americans to
buy more of other countries goods. So, the imports went up, exports
went down and that took
the edge off of economic
growth, explained the
Dean Emeritus of Clemson Universitys College of
Business and Behavioral
Science.
The international slowdown has taken a toll on
the growth rate of Americas Gross Domestic Product (GDP). While last years
was over 3.5 percent, Yandle said we will be doggone lucky to see 2.1 percent for 2015.
Locally, the economic
indices are rosier. Yandle
attributes much of that to
the success of Greers inland port.
While export growth in
our country has fallen, export growth going out of
Charleston hasnt, Yandle
told the crowd of sev-
building more condos and

apartments than single
family homes. Yandle believes this trend to be generational, as Millenials are
flocking to cities instead
of suburbs. The fact that
only 28% of adults under
34 are married has added
to the decrease in singlefamily home starts.
The good news for peoWILLIAM BUCHHEIT | THE GREER CITIZEN
Dr. Bruce Yandle spoke at an economic forum recently.

eral hundred Thursday.
I think thats because of
the inland port. The inland port is pulling goods
to Charleston that were
previously going through
other locations, so its
cushioning the effect of
the slowing of exports
[nationwide]. Yandle also
blamed a slowdown in
construction for keeping
so many Americans out of
the workforce.
Some of those people
with less than a high school

education are wonderfully
skilled people who know
how to hang drywall, how
to lay bricks, and how to
pour concrete, he said.
But until construction
gets rolling again, we will
not be putting that component of our population
back to work.
Though the economist
admitted construction has
picked up in recent years,
he said America is still

however, expects those

HEALTH PLANS
The Health
Marketplace
Insurance
provides
U.S. citizens access to affordable health insurance

coverage. Depending on
household income, some
individuals may qualify for
government financial assistanceor subsidiestowards the cost of the premium and other financial
obligations like co-pays or
deductibles.
All health plans on the
Marketplace must offer a
comprehensive set of benefits, and coverage cannot
be denied for individuals
with a pre-existing health
condition.
The penalty fee for not
having insurance has increased this year. If you
can afford health insurance coverage in 2016,
but dont sign up, you
may have to pay a penalty
($695 per adult, $347.50
per child up to $2,085/
family or 2.5 percent of
family income, whichever
is higher). You will have to
pay the fee on the federal
income tax return you file.
And, without insurance,
you will be financially responsible for all of your
medical costs.
This is where Mary Black
Health System can assist,
said Dardeau. With many
people not having access
to a computer or having
difficulty maneuvering on
the government website,
our application counselors can help individuals
and their families evaluate
the health plan options
and determine if they are
eligible for Medicaid or
other financial assistance.
Well also help with re-enrollment.
MEDICAID
Medicaid is a joint federal and state program

that helps with medical
costs for some people
with limited income and
resources.
Though a major function of www.healthcare.
gov is assessing whether
individuals and families
qualify for financial assistance to lower the cost
of health insurance, Mary
Black Health Systems application counselors can
perform the same analysis
and help with enrollment
and re-enrollment. To
make an appointment to
meet with an application
counselor, call 573-3194.
Mary Black Health System is committed to improving the health of the
communities we serve by
helping residents gain access to healthcare services, said Dardeau.

said she was shocked to

see that much of a turnout. Martin said when
he arrived at 6:30 a.m., a
crowd of two dozen were
already waiting.
Not wishing to keep the
customers at bay much
longer, Gonzalez cut a ribbon that allowed the line
to enter the store shortly
after 8:30 a.m.
Martin said the customers come for the quality
and affordability.
We offer the highest
quality products at the
lowest possible price everyday, he said. What
you see is what youre going to find today and next

Customers
wandered
the aisles, adding cereal
and produce and toiletries to their carts. Many
of those that received gift
cards said they wouldnt
spend it all that day. Fisk
said she would save hers
for the holiday season.
Weve got some Christmas baking to do, she
said. And whatever I can,
Ill get at Aldi.
Aldi is in the midst of a

plans to open 650 new
stores across the country,
bringing its total number
of U.S. stores to nearly
2,000 by the end of 2018.
feel comfortable voting to

give herself a raise. Other
council members, though,
explained their reasoning
for voting in favor.
Bookert said council is
asked to do many tasks
and that Danner deserves
a raise for his hard work;
the mayors compensation would be raised with
councils.
Unsettled Weekend Weather
After a week with clouds, rain and cool

temperatures we will see warmer weather
for the first part of the weekend with cooler
temperatures on Sunday. Our weather this
weekend will see temperatures in the upper
60s on Saturday with rain and scattered
thunderstorms. Overnight lows will fall to the
50s and 60s. Cool temperatures return to our
forecast for the first part of next week. Have a
great weekend!
Griffin said individuals dont serve for the

money. Council member
Wryley Bettis agreed, saying he didnt think anyone
looked at the salary before
they ran for the position.
If you dont have that
fire to serve Greer then
you dont deserve to be
here and I think we all do,
he said.

Mary Black offers help

with insurance enrollment
Mary Black Health System is once again helping area residents learn
about and enroll in health
insurance options on the
Health Insurance Marketplace during the open enrollment period of Nov. 1,
2015 - Jan. 31, 2016.
As part of the Affordable Care Act, most U.S.
citizens were required
to have health insurance
beginning in 2014. Since
the passage of the ACA
five years ago, about 16.4
million uninsured people
have gained health coverage. Yet, approximately 30
million Americans remain
uninsured.
As a primary health
provider in the Upstate,
our goal is to help educate
residents in an easy-to-understand way, as well as assist those who havent yet
signed up for health insurance or Medicaid, if qualified, said Sean Dardeau
CEO of Mary Black Health
System. During the next
few months, well be out in
the community and meeting one-on-one to help
these individuals find affordable coverage.

toys for children of any

age. The majority of those
toys will go to Greers
Cops for Tots program.
Some toys will also go to
Country Santa.
David explained that
many years ago his mother became involved with
Cops for Tots. She and
some other ladies started
collecting toys around
Christmas time for needy
families. After her death,
those ladies as well as
her sons pondered how to
make the toy drive bigger
and better.
It has been bigger every
single year. It has continued to grow, he said. I
dont know if we knew
wed be doing this 12 years
later. The community has
taken to it so much and
accepted it and supported
it to where were just going to continue to go with
it.
The last several years,
thousands of toys have
been collected. David expects that trend to continue. He also said businesses and individuals
have donated money. Hell
take every penny of that
money and purchase toys
to add to those brought by
the community.
I think its a great way
to help kids in the local
community that otherwise
wouldnt have a Christmas, he said.
The toy drive has turned
into something of a social
event. David said individuals will come from all
around and many will stay
to fellowship with one
another and enjoy baked
brownies from Firehouse
Subs as well as cookies

from Fuddruckers.
David said he appreciates the support and the
effort of the community in
making this a success year
after year.
I think its important
that we help and continue
to convey to people how
much we appreciate the
communitys involvement.
Theyve kind of taken this

thing and its taken off. It
shows the impact Mom had
on the community with all
the people that knew her
and want to help.
I dont think we can let
them know enough how
much we appreciate them
coming and being a part
of it.

Greer is one of SCs safest citites

The City of Greer ranks
21st on SafeWises report
of Safest Cities in South
Carolina for 2015, according to officials.
The report conducted by
the security organization
considers all cities with a
minimum population of
2,000 and uses the most
recent FBI crime data to
analyze and rank cities.
SafeWise praised the City
of Greer for making safety
a priority as its population
continues to grow rapidly.

The report states, With
new jobs comes an increased population, but
that doesnt keep Greer
from keeping crime at bay.
In fact, there were only
19 robberies reported in
2013.
We found many of the
cities that made our list
embrace the principles
of community policing,
SafeWise security analyst
Alexia Chianis said. This
means citizens and law

enforcement work together to identify community
problems and develop solutions, helping keep their
crime rates low.
City of Greer police chief
Dan Reynolds said community policing is reflected in his departments
motto, Policing is a Partnership.
We have many partners
in the community and
thats one of the keys to
an effective department.
Being named one of the
safest cities in South Carolina should be celebrated
by the entire community, Reynolds said. From
Neighborhood
Watch
groups to our Citizen Police Academy, which is
offered twice annually,
having engaged and aware
citizens makes a huge difference.
Feds indict 10 for counterfeiting

BY WSPA
NEWS PARTNER
The Secret Service announced Tuesday that it
has indicted 10 people
suspected in a significant, currency counterfeiting ring across the

six months.
Federal agents arrested
Benjamin Hinson, Maranda Hopper, Jose A. Felix,
Ashley L. King, Donna Felix, Craig R. Mitchem, Penny Pilgrim, Donald Wesley
West II and Christine N.
Snelson.
Each of the suspects
bonded out of jail, except
for Benjamin Hinson and
Jose A. Felix, both of whom
are held without bond.
Authorities are still looking for Tammy G. Jernigan,
who was also indicted on
counterfeiting charges.
According to court documents, the counterfeiting ring operated between
June and September and
produced bogus Federal

Reserve Notes in $20, $50
and $100 denominations.
The victims, according to
the indictment, included
several retailers, including
Goodwill, Lowes, Academy Sports, Sleep Inn, Ingles and Dollar General.
Resident Agent In Charge

the agencys Greenville office said in September that
the operation was based in

UNDEFEATED AGAIN
Jackets cap
season with
BR win
BY LELAND BURCH
FOR THE GREER CITIZEN
Greer used rarely seen

defensive heroics to put
down upset-minded Blue
Ridge 32-7 Friday night.
The Yellow Jackets recorded two safeties and
blocked a pair of field
goals to complete back-toback undefeated seasons
for the first time in the
schools 94-year football
history.
Ive never been in a game
that had two safeties and
two blocked field goals,
admitted Greer Coach Will
Young afterwards. We
also stopped Blue Ridge
when they had first and
goal at our six. All of those
things were huge. He

added, this game will always be intense because it
is such a rivalry. The kids
know each other and their
parents know each other.
Yet, he pointed out, we
really played sloppy, even
at times defensively we
had a lot of missed tackles.
We made many mistakes
offensively, especially the
holding penalties, none
of which were necessary.
Those things were a lot to
overcome, and we have to
get them straightened out
going into the playoffs.
The host Tigers put up
a stalwart fight to salvage
something from a 2-8
season that fell far below
expectations. But Greer,
10-0, had too many weapons including Troy Pride
who accounted for an 18point first half swing with
two touchdowns and two
blocked field goals. Dorian
Lindsey, also bound for the
Shrine Bowl, scored once
and kept several drives

alive with clutch catches
among his 12 receptions
for 151 yards.
Troy and Dorian are
special athletes on both
sides of the ball, Coach
Young declared. We knew
Troy could block field
goals. Hes been blocking
ours in practice all year.
Blue Ridge overcame 30
yards in penalties to stop
Greers first drive deep in
their own territory. But the
Tigers were soon undone
by a fumble that Adrian
McGee recovered at the
Blue Ridge 41 yard line.
From there Greer scored
in just three plays. McGee
reeled off a 13-yard run,

quarterback Mario Cusano
sliced through the line for
nine more and then delivered a pass to Pride who
took the ball 19 yards to
the end zone. Nick Robersons extra point made
it 7-0.

istorically, Im not a
Halloween guy.
Dont get me
wrong, Ive got no problem with the holiday. I
love scary movies, I love
candy, I love fall weather.
Actually, I just love October in general.
But Halloween, I can
normally do without.
I guess I didnt really
have a normal childhood.
We didnt dress up or go
trick-or-treating in my
family. I recall bringing
home loads of candy from
school, but I never trolled
the neighborhood dressed
up like my favorite ninja
turtle to earn it.
There was one exception. In grade school, I
remember asking my
parents if I could go buy
a costume to go trick-ortreating, but the result
wasnt what I expected.
My dad wasnt about to
spend money to dress me
up like the blue Power
Ranger (his name was
Billy, too), so my mother
was assigned the task
of creating a robot
costume for me to wear
around the neighborhood.
I put the word robot
in quotes because this
costume was nothing
more than a cardboard
box with holes in it and
aluminum foil wrapped
around it. I did get a lot
of candy that night, but
having been scarred by
the experience, I never
pursued trick-or-treating
again.
On Saturday, however,
my wife and I got together
with our neighbors to
hand out candy to kids
who hadnt sworn off the
ritual. Thinking trick-ortreating was still a thing,
we got a bunch of candy
(WOW that stuff is expensive) and sat by the door
waiting for kids.
We live in a fairly busy
neighborhood. Were not
over-populated by any
means, but there are a
healthy amount of kids
that surround us.
That being saidno one
showed up. We waited
and waited. We carved
pumpkins, ordered pizza,
built a fireand still, no
kids.
We eventually saw a kid
ride by on a scooter and
all of us perked up.
Hey, come get your
candy! I shouted, not
realizing how creepy that
sounded from far away.
I didnt care who was
coming to get the candy; I
just needed somebody to
take the fun-sized Skittles
away from me before I
acquired Diabetes.
The kid kept riding, and
soon, it was getting too
dark. We all went inside,
giving up on the prospect
of trick-or-treaters when
the doorbell rang. We
jumped up, running to
the window to see who it
was.
It was a NINJA!
Well, not really a ninja.
It was our 7-year-old
neighbor who actually
made a pretty convincing
ninja.
Not knowing what to
do, we panicked. We
hadnt rehearsed what to
say if we actually got a
trick-or-treater.
HI! we shouted, as the
kid stared at us.
Trick-or-treat, he said,
to all of our delight.
Hold on, well get you
some candy, I told him,
closing the door in his
face.
I ran around the room
searching for the candy
bowl while my wife reopened the door for the
now-confused ninja.
Here you go, I said,
plopping roughly 30
pieces of candy into his
tiny bucket.
Thats kind of a lot, he
said before heading back
down the driveway.
Hes lucky we didnt

Young leads Rebels

to win over Dorman
Byrnes takes
second
in region
By Billy Cannada
Sports Editor
The Rebels improved
to 9-1 last Friday, defeating rival Dorman, 31-7, in
front of a packed house.
With the win, Byrnes secures a second place finish in region play, barring
a Spartanburg loss to J.L
Mann this week.
The Rebels jumped out
to a hot start, as Micah

Young found one of his
favorite targets, Chavis
Dawkins, for a 79-yard
touchdown on the teams
first drive of the game.
Byrnes Kicker Thomas
Cook extended the first
quarter lead a few minutes
later, booting a 29-yard
field goal that gave the
Rebels a 10-0 advantage.
Young got things going
again in the second quarter, capping a long drive
with a 1-yard touchdown
run to put his team up 170.
Dorman answered, however, finding the end zone
with under a minute re-
maining in the half.

The 17-7 lead stood until
the third quarter. Byrnes
found momentum after a
blocked kick was returned
for a touchdown by Aaron
Watson. Steadman Rogers
put the nail in the coffin in
the fourth quarter with a
1-yard touchdown rush to
give his team a 31-7 lead it
wouldnt relinquish.
Young passed for 213
yards on the night.
The Rebels will take on
Wade Hampton this Friday
in hopes of sealing a 10win season.
Kickoff is set for 7:30
p.m.
Micah Young threw for more than 200 yards and rushed for a touchdown during his
teams win over Dorman last Friday night.

Riverside drops to 0-10

BY BILLY CANNADA
SPORTS EDITOR
Its been a difficult
stretch for a Riverside
team that was preparing
to make a playoff run this
time last season.
With Week 10 now in
the books, the Warriors
are still winless and only a
matchup with Dorman remains on the regular season schedule.

Riverside dropped to
0-10 last week, falling to
Wade Hampton 38-21.
The Generals jumped
out to an insurmountable
lead, climbing on top 23-0
at the half. The Warriors,
however, outscored Wade
Hampton in the second
half, finding the end zone

three times in the final two
quarters.
The loss ends a brutal
October stretch, which
saw matchups with Byrnes, Boiling Springs J.L.

Riverside will travel to
Dorman this Friday for a

Greer has an extra week

to bask in the glory of a
record setting, second
straight undefeated regular season. The Yellow
Jackets are waiting for an
opponent to emerge for
the first round of the 3-A
playoffs next Friday night,
Nov. 13 at Dooley Field.
Greer, 10-0, could face
one of three foes out of
Region Four: Camden, Dreher or A.C.Flora, depending upon the outcome of
games this Friday. The
mid-state football schedules were interrupted
by record flooding last
month, and the playoffs
have been delayed one
week as a result.
We cant scout all those
teams Friday night. So we
will wait until Saturday
morning and swap film
with the team that we get,
Greer Coach Will Young
explained.
A couple of things are
certain, however. Should
Greer win the playoff
opener, the Yellow Jackets would face the winner
of Union vs. Belton-Honea
Path on Nov. 20th. Either
one would be a heck of a
game, Young notes. And
it will get even tougher after that. There are some
really good 3-A teams out
there, he said, listing Seneca, Hartsville, Chapin and
Hilton Head, all undefeated, plus South Pointe and
Airport, both 9-1.
Greer ran the table during the regular season
last year only to be rudely
bounced out of the playoffs by Belton Honea-Path.
Were looking for a different outcome this time,
says Young who wants the
Yellow Jackets to make it
all the way to the state finals.
Young said the biggest
Dorian Lindsey caught 12 passes for more than 140 yards

during the Jackets win over Blue Ridge Friday.
difference from last year
is the things we have already done. We are multidimensional
offensively
with many different weapons we can deliver and a
guy (Mario Cusano) who
does a great job at that.
Our running and passing
games are solid, our receivers are solid, and I feel
good about us offensively.
The way we have played
defensively all year has
also been impressive. The
competition level goes up
any time you are scrappy
on defense, and that is a
big plus for us.
He adds, there is nothing we can change now. All
we can do is tweak some
things offensively and defensively, and then put it
all out there on the field.
Another difference from
last year is having a week
off. The extra time should
get the Yellow Jackets
back to full strength.
Young said Zach Glidden,
senior wide receiver who
suffered a knee injury at
Travelers Rest on Sept. 25,
should be back by next Friday.

The Yellow Jackets are
into a limited schedule
this week. After watching
film on Monday afternoon,
the team went to se the
movie Woodlawn that
night. Were having regular practices Tuesday and
Wednesday, and then the
normal Wednesday night
meal. We will have a light
practice in shells to polish
things up on Thursday,
and the kids will have a
long weekend off. Next
week, we will be back to a
regular schedule.
Before preparing for the
first playoff foe, Young
said the Yellow Jackets
will be working in practice
this week to correct problems that surfaced in the
Blue Ridge game. We had
too many penalties, and
we need to bring those
down. Also we had missed
tackles defensively, but
I was proud of the way
we played hard and well
enough to win.

UNDEFEATED: Pride, Jackets run away from Tigers

FROM B1
that Pride blocked. Pride

scooped up the loose ball
and ran it to the opposite
end zone for a touchdown,
but the score was nullified
by a penalty.
Tigers free safety Tommy Williams soon picked
off a Cusano pass at the
Blue Ridge five. But poor
field position cost the Tigers when quarterback
Jake Smith was tackled in
the end zone by Jordan
Hawthorne for a safety.
Leading 9-0 as the second period began, the Yellow Jackets took the ensuing kickoff and marched
63 yards to pad their
cushion. In the process,
Lindsey made key catches
for 11 and 16 yard gains
to help overcome a pair-of
10-yard holding penalties.
Cusano eventually scored
on a one-yard dive.
Blue Ridge roared back
with an 81-yard drive to
stay in the game. The Tigers not only took advantage of a pair of 15-yard
Greer penalties, but also
got a 19-yard run from
Jenkins and a 16-yard
pass from Smith to Austin James. Jenkins scored
through a one-yard gap
in the left side of the line,
and Brights extra point
kick made it a16-7 affair
with 1:12 remaining in the
half.
Not to be outdone, the
Yellow Jackets answered
in less than a minute when

Cusano launched a 50yard bomb to Pride who
got past the Tigers secondary to make the catch
in the end zone.
Blue Ridge made the
most of the remaining :20
seconds in the half when
Jenkins got away on a 26yard run and Smith delivered a 48-yard pass to
Tamaje Green at the Greer
six. With 2.6 seconds on
the clock, Blue Ridge attempted to cut into Greers
23-7 lead with a field goal,
but Pride again spoiled the
Tigers plans by blocking
Brights kick.
DUSTED WITH FLOUR
Greers white out student section had consumed

most of their bags of flour
celebrating big first half
plays that left themselves
and nearby spectators
thoroughly dusted. There
werent nearly as many
celebrations in the second
half, perhaps because the
flour was gone.
Josh McAbee recovered
a Greer fumble at midfield
early in the second half.
That led to a Blue Ridge
march to the six yard line
for a first down, primarily
on the strength of Jenkins
runs of 10 and 19 yards.
But the Yellow Jackets defense rose up to stop the
threat on four consecutive
plays and took over on
downs. That was another
huge point in the game,
Young said. The Tigers

never threatened again.
Greer put the game out
of reach with a 69-yard
scoring drive midway in
the fourth quarter. Cusano
delivered a 36-yard strike
to Lindsey to set up the
score, and the same combination worked on the next
play on a 16-yard toss that
made it a 30-7 affair.
When a 15-yard penalty
on the ensuing kickoff return left Blue Ridge in a
hole, Greer struck again.
Blitzing linebacker Omar
Fattah tackled Smith in the
end zone for a safety with
5:44 left to play.
The final score is reflected in the stats. Greer
chalked up 19 first downs
on 389 yards of total offense. The Yellow Jackets ground game, led by
McGee with 101 yards on
19 carries, piled up 157
yards. Cusano completed
18 of 26 passes for 157 air
yards.
Blue Ridge picked up
14 first downs on 248 total yards. Smith threw for
146 yards, completing 13
of 29 passes. The ground
game accounted for 102
net yards.
Greer also led in penalties, accumulating nine
flags for 110 yards. Blue
Ridge was penalized seven
times for 95 yards. Each
team coughed up one fumble, and Greer had a pass
intercepted.

after first round losses.
Riverside fell in threestraight sets to Dorman,
while Blue Ridge dropped
its matchup to Camden.
Riverside capped the
year with a 10-17 record
(2-8 in the region).
FROM B1
The Eagles started out

the season hungry for the
playoffs, shutting out the
Riverside Warriors 25-0.
Theyve bought in to
what were doing, and they
are learning about how to
become a family and care
about each other and do
a lot of good stuff off
the field, not only on the
field, Wilson said.
Eastside traded scores
with Emerald all night,
but couldnt hold off the
Vikings during the 41-30
loss.
This team, the only
thing I feel so bad about is
these seniors have changed
the culture, have changed
everything here, Wilson
said. Theyre not going to
get a chance to play, cause
I really think if wed gotten
into the playoffs we could
have made some noise
with this group of guys.
Were not going to be able
to find that out now, I wish
we could.
Their last game felt like
a playoff game, though.
The Eagles finished up the
first three quarters strong,
leading 10-6 after the first
behind a field goal from
kicker Alex Woznick and a
perfectly thrown ball from
quarterback TJ Gist to
Chance Pride for a 49-yard
touchdown. They scored
again in the second with
a juggling 74-yard Jovani
Lawton touchdown catch
to break for the half up
16-13, and they led going
into the fourth 27-20 with
a Gist 1-yard touchdown
run.
It seemed that Eastside
couldnt lose with Gist
leading the way. He finished the game with 94
rushing yards and 282 in
the air. Emerald, however,

facing the thought of missing out on the playoffs
themselves, found holes in
the Eastside defense. With
6:36 to go in the fourth,
K.J. Chamberlain caught a
pass from Emerald quarterback Dreek Jones to
knot things up at 27.
The Eagles would only
manage one more field
goal from Woznick on offense. It wasnt enough.
The Vikings scored again
on another Chamberlain
touchdown, and then the
all-purpose receiver and
defensive back picked off
Gist to set up a 48-yard
scamper from Willie Reynolds.
The games score shared
more than just the results
of the contest. The Vikings
left looking forward to
the playoffs; the Eagles
lingered on the field, considering how close they
had come to reaching the
postseason. Wilson says
they will look to improve
next year.
We look forward, we do
what Paul says in the Bible,
forgetting what lies behind, which is what weve
been trying to do, and
looking forward to what
lies ahead, he said. And
I think our underclassmen
understand what were trying to do. Our coaches are
doing a good job, and we
have a very good coaching
staff thats coaching these
guys now.
Its paying dividends.
It just didnt quite pay
us enough. We got used
to winning and we got
the taste of wining so we
wanted to keep winning,
and it just didnt happen
tonight.
Nelson Hughes broke the

school record for touchdowns in a career while
the Crusader defense came
up with big plays late in
the game, helping North
Greenville to a 27-21 win
over Wingate University.
North Greenville has
had Wingates number
as of late, wining the last
five meetings between the
two squads dating back to
2009. NGUs margin of victory during the streak has
been 17 points.
The two teams remained
tied at 14-14 late into the
second quarter. NGU held
the ball for the final drive
of the half but an interception from Hughes would
lead to a Wingate touchdown, giving the Bulldogs
a 21-14 lead at halftime.
Hughes first touchdown of
the game came in the form
of a reception, as Tyrecous Garrett found him on
a reverse pass from seven
yards out, while Ashton
heard rushed for another
touchdown,
accounting
for North Greenvilles two
first half scores.
North Greenville took
advantage of its first possession of the second half,
putting together a 13-play
scoring drive. The Crusaders marched 65-yards
and ate up just over seven
minutes of the clock as
Hughes hooked up with
Demajiay Rooks for his
first touchdown toss of
the game.
North Greenvilles defense would step up next
for the Crusaders as Jeremy Massey intercepted
a Kyle Johnson inside the
NGU red zone to hold
the Bulldogs scoreless in
the third quarter. NGUs
defense would come up
with two more big stops in
the fourth quarter, denying the Bulldogs a fourth
down conversion attempt
on its own 27-yard line for
one, and coming up with a
second interception as KJ
McDonald picked his third
pass of the season, following a North Greenville
turnover for the second.
The go ahead touchdown came less than one
minute into the final quarter as Hughes found Ma-
CRUSADER
CORNER
son Sanders for a 16-yard

hookup in the end zone.
Hughes finished with 252
yards through the air and
two touchdowns on 20 attempts to go along with
his receiving touchdown.
He finished the day with
68
career
touchdown
passes. North Greenville
would run the clock on the
final drive of the game,
wasting away the last
two minutes and 51 seconds. Perhaps the biggest
play of the game came on
fourth down when Hughes
hit Tyrell Hillary on a nineyard pass play, resulting
in a first down. The first
down allowed NGU to hold
onto the ball for the final
minute of play.
Ashton Heard carried
the ball three times on the
final drive for eight yards,
giving him 105 for the
game with a touchdown.
Hughes was 2-2 through
the air including the fourth
down conversion. Rooks
led the NGU receivers with
73 yards on six receptions
and a touchdown while
Hillary finished with 63
yards. Mason Sanders had
a receiving touchdown and
58 yards.
The Bulldogs finished
the game with 374 yards
and two turnovers, both
in the form of interceptions. Sam Houston led
the charge with nine total
tackles while Tony Godbolt and Taylor Anderson
had eight. Anthony Blair
recorded a sack for North
Greenville and two tackles
for a loss.

Taylors actress showcases talent in The 39 Steps

STAFF WRITER
By day shes an office
manager, handling the affairs of Greenville Little
Theatre (GLT). By night,
shes an actress, living out
her dreams on stage.
Taylors resident Laura
Sykes has been working
at the theatre since 2013,
though she was involved
in productions prior to
that. For her, Greenville
Little Theatre is a workplace tailor-made for her.
Getting to have a day
job in the same realm of
what my life dreams are
is a dream come true, she
explained. Its just the
best I could have asked
for.
Even as she attended
Eastside High School and
Christ Church Episcopal School as a teenager,
Sykes knew she loved acting, but she wasnt sure
how to make that translate into employment that
didnt involve touring all
the time.
She then decided to attend Clemson University
and study to be a Spanish
teacher. What she has with
GLT is, in a lot of ways, a
combination of her two
PHOTO | SUBMITTED
Greenville Little Theatre is getting set to present The 39 Steps, a family-friendly , mystery spy thriller. In the production,
only four cast members play around 100 characters.
passions because with the
theatre she is able to perform, but she also tours
local elementary schools.
In doing so, shes given
the opportunity to teach
children the importance
of the arts. Students this

fall are being treated to
the Junie B. Jones musical, with Sykes playing the
main character.
On the theatres stage,
Sykes is currently playing
the roles of three characters in GLTs production

of The 39 Steps.
Cast members say this is
not a show to miss.
I think the story itself,
being a relatively fam-
ily-friendly, mystery, spy

thriller, thats ones of
those genres that everybody loves, David Bean,
playing the main character
role of Richard Hannay,
said. At the same time
while it is that mystery, spy

thriller, they inject a ton of
humor, comedic, story and
theatrical elements into it.
Its one of those little bit
of everything shows.
One of my favorite
plays, Sam McCalla said.
Its this great piece thats
very theatrical. We play
so many characters. It really allows the actors and
audience to just really use
their imagination.
McCalla as well as Evan
Harris play a whole bevy
of characters. Thats one
of the compelling components of GLTs take on
the show only four cast
members play 100 or so
characters.
Its one of the things
I get to watch in awe as
both Laura and the other
two guys do it, Bean said.
Its a very carefully choreographed backstage and
sometimes onstage, too.
Guys are actually changing on stage. It happens
that quickly.
McCalla gave praise to
costume designer Thomas
Brooks, saying, He did a
terrific job with making
our changes as easy as
possible.

NEW RELEASES
FOR WEEK OF NOV. 16
PICKS OF THE WEEK
The Hobbit: Battle of

the Five Armies (PG-13)
-- Its the final installment
of the extra-large trilogy
about an extra-small hero.
Defeating the vicious dragon Smaug (voiced and motion-captured by Benedict
Cumberbatch) has vacated
its big ol pile of gold, but
now theres some conflict
over who gets to have a
big ol pile of gold. Turns
out that Thorin (Richard
Armitage), leader of the
heroic dwarves accompanying Bilbo (Martin Freeman), has decided that
hes not going to split the
loot with the other kingdoms like he promised.
This movie has more
battle and bluster than the
past two combined, but it
similarly lacks charm. This
final clash has been built
up so much, and it does
put a good ending on the
saga. However, no computer can yet replicate the
feel of the ornate sets and
masterful practical effect
in the earlier Lord of the
Rings movies.
The
Man
from
U.N.C.L.E. (PG-13) -- Two
Cold War agents from opposite sides of the Berlin
Wall have to collaborate
to take down an evil crew
bent on kicking off World
War III. American agent
Napoleon Solo (Henry Cavill, The Man of Steel) buddies up with Russian agent
Kuryakin (Armie Hammer,
The Lone Ranger) in this
modded-up reboot of the
60s TV show of the same
name.
Guy Ritchie made his
reputation bringing cool,
brassy style to low-level
Brit gangsters, and he
makes a cool retro style
out of something that
could have been laughably
irrelevant. Since James
Bond has grown kinda serious (but still awesome),
this jaunt offers a lighter
side to slick espionage.
Meru (R) -- Ever wonder why people who climb
Everest and other massive
mountains tend to go up
the easy side? For extreme
climbers and best pals Jeremy Chin, Conrad Anker
and Renan Ozturk, their
dream was to scale the
roughest side of them all,
a sheer climb called the
Sharks Fin on Meru Peak
in the Himalayas. They
tried and failed once in
2008 -- but not for lack of
grit. They were forced to
quit 100 meters from the
summit and retreat back
to their tent -- not really
a tent, but a dangly bag
nailed to a furious mountain. This majestic documentary shows some of
the most thrilling views
that anyone has ever
achieved, and explores
what would drive them to
try such a feat, and what
would drive them to try it
again a few years later.
Trash (R) -- Three little boys living in a thirdworld garbage dump find
a wallet that sets them on
a high-stakes adventure
with corrupt police at their
heels. Rafael (Rickson Tevis) splits the cash with his
pals Rato and Gardo. Then
the wallet yields a key
that leads to further enticing clues. Martin Sheen
and Rooney Mara help
the boys as a beleaguered
priest and burdened charity worker, respectively.
The movie can generate
some good feelings, but
eventually too much sugary sentiment sprinkled
over such squalid settings
rings false.

SLT TO STAGE
OF MICE AND MEN
A story of endurance
and hope in the face of unimaginable hardship, John
Steinbecks Of Mice and
Men has kept audiences
spellbound from 1937 to
the present day, through
countless
productions
and film adaptations. The
Spartanburg Little Theatre
opens its own interpretation of this modern masterpiece in November, with
performances Nov. 6, 7, 13
and 14 at 8 p.m. and Nov.
8 and 15 at 3 p.m.
The story centers on
migrant workers George
and Lennie, who dream of
owning their own ranch
someday, a story that
gives them hope as they
travel from place to place.
When the impossibility of
that dream meets harsh
reality, it brings George to
the brink of an unimaginably difficult choice.

While
the
costume
changes are made to be
seamless, the challenge
with playing multiple
characters is being another person in a matter
of seconds or minutes.
Sykes has this particular
challenge playing three
characters from Germany,
Scotland and England.
You have kind of the
diva, kind of sexy character, she said. And then
you go to a demure, innocent kind of girl and then
kind of round it out with a
more or less normal character and you get to see a
range of emotions from
her.
She has done a great
job from day one with
bringing something very
different to the table for
each one, with the accents

FURMAN PRESENTS

FUN AND GAMES
THE GREER CITIZEN
Large teratoma
found near heart
DEAR DR. ROACH: I had
a CT scan due to broken
ribs from a very recent
fall. The scan revealed a
large teratoma near my
heart. I am 69 and was
previously unaware of this
formation. No suggestion
has been given to me regarding further investigation or treatment of the
teratoma. I am assuming it
may have been present at
birth and does not cause
any problem. But now I am
wondering if it should be
monitored. Can a teratoma grow or migrate in the
body? Any information on
teratoma will be appreciated. -- S.S.
ANSWER: A teratoma is
a type of tumor of germ
cells -- the cells that become eggs or sperm. They
can occur within the testis
or ovary, but also can occur outside the gonads.
When they do, they usually
are found in the midline of
the body. A frequent place
is the anterior superior
mediastinum, in between
the lungs and below the
breastbone.
Teratomas
usually are benign tumors,
but some types can act
like cancers.
Your tumor is unlikely
to have been there since
birth.
Nobody
knows
whether the germ cell that
became a teratoma properly went into the gonads
during development, or
whether the cell left the
gonad and then became a
tumor. It is clear, however,
that men with teratoma
outside the gonads are at
TO YOUR

KEITH
ROACH, M.D.
higher risk for developing
testicular cancer later on.
Teratomas, being derived from germ cells, are
capable of creating any
tissue. Teeth and hair are
sometimes found inside
teratomas.
I am very surprised you
havent been recommended for surgical removal.
Surgery is usually successful at curing teratoma.
They certainly can grow,
and occasionally become
very large. I would certainly recommend seeing
an oncologist (cancer specialist). Thoracic (chest)
surgeons operate on this
area. It may be that the
position is difficult, but a
surgeon should still evaluate you, in my opinion.
***
DEAR DR. ROACH: How
is it that, at age 67, Id never heard about the abomination called scabies? Last
year, I was rubbing cream
onto my aged mothers
rash, and now I have this
disgusting infestation on
my body! Why havent
people been advised of
this scourge! -- Anon.
ANSWER: Scabies, sometimes just called, the
itch, is caused by the mite
Sarcoptes scabiei, and is

very common, with an estimated 300 million people infected worldwide. It
is transmitted person-toperson by direct contact.
The major symptom of
scabies is itching, often
very severe and usually
much worse at night. Itching begins about six weeks
after the first infection,
sooner if you have been
infected before.
Often, the hardest part
is figuring out the diagnosis, because a lot of people
dont know about this
condition. When the rash
is classic in distribution
(belt line, under the arms,
wrists, genitals and especially in the finger web
spaces), most regular doctors and any dermatologist can figure it out.
Permethrin 5 percent
cream (Elimite and others) over the entire body
for eight to 14 hours is the
standard treatment. Many
physicians recommend a
second treatment in one
to two weeks. There is an
oral medication as well.
Clothing and bedding need
to be disinfected, too.
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.
