Greer mourns fallen officers

At prayer
service
Monday
BY BILLY CANNADA
EDITOR
Mourning the loss of
five Dallas police officers,
city leaders and members
of the community took an
hour to pray Monday afternoon.
Its just like my grandmother used to tell me -prayer changes things,
said Greer Councilman
Wayne Griffin, who organized the service alongside Mayor Rick Danner.
Theres nothing new
about violence, murder,
poverty, racism, hunger,
extortion, robbery, lying,
bigotry or injustice, Danner told the crowd gathered at Greer First Baptist.
What is new is that we
now have the ability and
resources to address many

of these issuesUnfortunately, the problem is not
human resources, but the
lack of human will power.
We have allowed ourselves
to grow indifferent.
No community can be a
great community if were
not concerned about the
least of these, he said. A
great community is a compassionate community.
Danner and Griffin held
a similar event at Maple
Creek Missionary Baptist
Church after nine people
were murdered inside a
Charleston church last
June. Maple Creeks pastor, Rev. Earl Simmons,
was on hand this time to
offer words of encouragement amidst national racial tension.
Mutual respect is really
important, but oftentimes,
what we dont know about
one another puts us in a
place of misunderstanding, he said. We really
do have to develop our
trust with one another.

Tony Gillespie Sr. is

ready to take Lyman in a
new direction.
The former Spartanburg
County councilman was
sworn into office Monday
night, marking a new era
for a town that has been
without an official mayor
since last August.
Ive been a resident of
Lyman for just about all
my life and Ive got a lot
of friends in this town,
Gillespie said. I feel like
this is one of the best communities in the Upstate.
Weve got a lot of challenges when it comes to
infrastructureputting in
sewer lines and improving
sidewalks. Were dealing
with a lot of growth. My
goal as mayor is to leave
my children a place they
can be proud to raise their
kids.
Lymans former mayor,
Tony Gillespie, Sr.
Rodney Turner, was indicted on wiretapping

and misconduct in office
charges in 2015. He was
suspended by Gov. Nikki
Haley and Mayor Pro Tem
Tony Wyatt took over as
interim.
Despite the recent history, Gillespie said he believes council has begun
restoring trust with the
community.

Wellford approves
rezoning request
for concrete office
BY KAELYN PFENNING
STAFF WRITER
On Monday, the Greer community prayed for the families

of those lost to gun violence last week.
Wellford is moving forward with a request from

American Concrete Services to build a new office at
140 Gosnell Circle.
City Council approved
the first reading of Ordinance No. 2016-0705 to
rezone property from R-1
Residential to C-1 Transitional at a meeting last
week.
The proposed new office
space would consist of a
one-story, metal-framed
building, 75 feet by 100
feet. Approximately 2,500
square feet will be used
for office space, and the

remaining 5,000 square
feet will be used for shop
and storage space, according to the proposal.
American Concrete Services (ACS), a local concrete contractor, has been
in business more than 10
years with many projects
in the Greenville/Spartanburg region.
The Wellford region
serves as an excellent location for our offices due
to its central location in
the region and its arterial
routes, making transportation to our job sites more
efficient, according to the

Lyman welcomes councilmember Hellams

By Kaelyn Pfenning
Staff Writer
Rick Hellams was one of
four new council members
who swore the oath of office at the regular July
11 meeting at the Lyman
Town Hall.
It was the citizens that
wanted me to become involved, Hellams said. Everyone kept telling me that
they wanted me to runso
I put my name in.
Hellams is interested
in establishing a five-year
plan for Lyman, Hellams
said, so we can get some
direction for the next five
years. Weve sort of just
been spinning our wheels
trying to take care of old
business. I think were
ready to look forward to
the future now.
Born at the former Allen
Bennett Hospital in Greer

and raised in the area,
Hellams said, I love the
people and the feel of Lyman.
Ive been fortunate
enough to travel and
live all over the world,
Hellams said, I always
come back to Lyman, and
I always feel like this is
home.
For about 10 years, Hellams worked for an umbrella company of BMW
and traveled to mostly European countries, Hellams
said.
I went over to Germany
to the BMW plant, and I
trained, Hellams said. I
learned all the techniques,
and I would come back
here and train the workers.
Hellams also took trips
to Italy, France, Austria
Rick Hellams
and neighboring eastern
European countries.
I loved Austria, Hellams said. It was beautiful. They have barns older
than our country.
Hellams attended Byrnes High School and the
University of South Carolina at Spartanburg. He
spent a lot of time with his
grandparents, and he has
one younger sister who is

an author.
My grandmother, she
taught me tothe same
threes that you see now
love, live and laugh, Hellams said. It wasnt a saying back then, but those
were her things to us.
Hellams is concerned
about an increase of drugs
in the area, he said. Ive
seen some more drugs
come into the area, and
I hate that. I hate it with
a passion. Thats what I
want to work on with the
police department. Were
still low on the totem pole,
but Id like to stomp it before it ever gets started.
Hellams, a bachelor, has

one dog and two cats.
I love to read and I like
to travel, Hellams said. I
have a ton of friends, but I
cherish my alone time.
Hellams has worked as
a clerk for Sealed Air in
Duncan for about a year
and three months.
I work with a great
group of people, Hellams said. Unfortunately,
were closing, and I dont
know what Im going to
do after that. I want to do
something to work with
people.
You know what micromanagers are? I had to
work through those, and
I learned to accept it and

let it roll off, and that was
a huge accomplishment
for me, Hellams said.
Thankfully, my last experience here, I had an awesome boss.
Hellams has worked
in customer service at
Dollar General for six or
seven years, overlapping
the years he worked with
BMW.
I loved Dollar General,
Hellams said. You get to
see all sorts of different
people come through.
Hellams attends Potential Church of Wellford.

New councilmembers
take oaths of office
By Kaelyn Pfenning
Staff Writer
Rep. Rita Allison led

three new Lyman councilmembers, and the new
mayor-elect, through the
oath of office Monday
night at a regularly scheduled meeting.
Allison presented a Bible
to Glenn Greer, Hoyt Dottry and Rick Hellams before they took their seats.
Congratulations to each
of you, she said. God
bless you and give you
wisdom and direction in
all that you do.
New Lyman Mayor Tony
Gillespie also took his oath
Monday night.
After the oaths were
completed, councilmembers Rita Owens and Wetzel stepped down as the

new council proceeded
with Mayor Pro-Tem Wyatt presiding for the last
time.
The new council voted
Larry Chappell to be Mayor Pro-Tem and Gillespie
to be presiding officer, as
well as the third signature
on bank accounts, along
with Wyatt and Chappell.
Greer and Dottry were appointed personnel committee members.
I just wanted to take a
very brief moment to congratulate my new council
colleagues, Wyatt said.
Mayor Gillespie, congratulations on the victory.
It was a very educational

process. I concluded my
active year, and it will always remain a privileged
and cherished part of my
public service, but I hand
the mantle to you now,
sir.
I look forward to working with all of you together as a new council
to continue the work, he
continued. Its been a tremendous couple of years
particularly. I feel like we
accomplished a great deal,
and I feel like this council
is posed to build on that
and do great things. Thank
you all.
Lyman moves forward

to collect Wellford sewer
By Kaelyn Pfenning
Staff Writer
Lyman Town Council approved three ordinances
to accept the sewer system and the debt of Wellford at its regular July 11
meeting.
The first ordinance establishes the program
whereby Lyman could
make this agreement, and
the second two ordinances
relate specifically to accepting the debt from Wellford and procuring a loan
not to exceed $817,481.
Councilmember
Tony
Wyatt explained that Lyman has been able to get
better financing.
This would be our way
of satisfying that debt, he
said. Were refinancing.
The new council also
approved a resolution to
enter into agreement with
Bob Pitts, architect, to proceed with drawings for
exterior canopies not to
exceed $2,300.
In addition, council approvedaccording to the
recommendation of the
zoning commissionthe
first reading of an ordinance to rezone property
located on Pine Ridge Road
from R-8 to R-PH. A second
reading will be held.
There was no opposition to the request, said
Greg Wood, Chairman of
the Zoning Board. We had
a good conversation with
the applicants.
Council deniedaccording to the recommendation of the zoning commissionthe first reading
of an ordinance to rezone
property located on Somerset Drive from R-15 to

R-PH. There will not be a
second reading.
Wood said residents had
put together a petition with
35 signatures and shared
concerns about traffic,
clear-cutting timber and
land value decreasing.
Before the new council
took their seats, the old
council finished a couple
old business items. They
made a correction to their
subdivision street regulation and annexed properties near Holly Springs
Road, Pine Ridge Road and
Phoenix Court.
The next regular council
meeting is to be held on
Monday, Aug. 8, and filing
to fill former councilmember Wetzels empty seat is
set to begin on July 29.

OPINION
The Greer Citizen
Fair and balanced
egardless if you are a regular viewer

of Fox News or not, most folks are
familiar with Gretchen Carlson,
who worked at the network for 11 years
before being unfairly ousted, she now
alleges in a lawsuit, for rejecting sexual
advances from the network head, Roger
Ailes, as well as suffering sexist and
condescending behavior from former
colleague, Steve Doocy.
Admittedly, I am not a fan of Fox, I
prefer Morning Joe, but am I lying when
I note that for years its been woefully
apparent that Fox, in cultivating their
strongest demographic: middle aged and
older white guys, has always dangled a
bit of blonde eye candy either between
two men on the couch or behind the
desk on their own show. Its just disappointing that a Stanford educated and
classically trained violinist, like Carlson,
was either forced or chose to appear and
behave like a pert 1970s flight attendant
with plunging neckline, skirts riding up
to the thigh, spray tanned and crowned
with a shellacked platinum bob.
If Ailes is guilty, I hope she walks with
millions, but I hope something far more
earthshaking occurs: I hope every other

female newscaster on television begins
dressing professionally and appropriately for the job. Listen, having toured
as a stand up comic on the road for 25
years makes me the furthest thing from
a prude (and each day I give thanks
there were no smartphones to record
the 80s or 90s) so Im not coming from
an old school marm point of view. But
if you want to be taken seriously as a
broadcast journalist (think Christiane
Amanpour, who regularly reported from
Iraq and Iran with hair that looked like
she combed it with a chair and spat on it
to make it lie down, a dusty flack jacket
and a jawline that could deflect any
sucker punch) then dress like a broadcast journalist!
I mean, we dont see Steve Doocy or
Sean Hannity or, thank you, Lord, Bill
OReilly, reporting in shirts unbuttoned
to their navel or tank tops with their

bare, hairy arms on display, do we?
Theyre in suits. Expensive, tailored suits
with cuff links. Lester Holt, Wolf Blitzer,
all the guys from 60 Minutes, none of
them go to work looking like theyre on
their way to a cocktail party in stiletto
heels with make up thats applied like
Spackle.
And if youre taken into the boss office, Gretchen, and the rest of you, and
told, as she has claimed, not to wear
pants on the show but to instead, where
ridiculously short skirts that require
you to sit at uncomfortable angles with
one hand over your knee to block a few
million people from seeing what color
underwear youre wearing, that is the
time you nod prettily, take your seat in
the studio, attach the mic (whose wire
has to run up your skirt, over your back
and fasten to your neckline, generally
assisted by a bearded sound engineer)
calm your heart as it begins to beat out
of your chest, and without a word of
warning to anyone so that no one has
time to cut your audio, announce to your
audience, I was just told by my boss
that Im not allowed to wear anything
but short skirts and if I dont, Ill be

fired. Id appreciate your support in
letting me appear to be the professional
journalist I consider myself to be.
There will be an implosion of likes
youve never seen and no one will dare
fire you.
Look, Im aware that news networks
are notorious for sexism. Rarely will
unattractive women be hired. For years,
this country embraced the jowly Walter
Cronkite, however, we all know perfectly
well that had he had a physical equivalent, who might look like Bea Arthur, she
would never have been allowed behind
the desk. But theres enough women
viewers who can easily demand that
all women be considered and they can
certainly express disapproval via email
and phone calls to advertisers that it is
difficult to take anything seriously that
comes from the mouth of a neo Jessica
Rabbit.
If enough people raise a stink, things
can change. Until then, Im going to try
and see if I can unsee that image of
Doocy with chest hair and chains...

10:27 (NRSV)
On a windy fall day, my family and I were spectators at a
marching band competition.
One of the larger bands lost
control of its props, which
began blowing across the field
toward the students who were
performing. Some of the students panicked when they were
forced out of formation by the
obstacles coming toward them.
Suddenly, the director
began shouting at the top
of his lungs, Stick with the
music. Dont worry about the
props! Instantly, their panic
was replaced with calm as the
band members followed their
directors instructions.
Like the students transformed by a few words from
their director, we too can be
calmed by a few words from
the One who directs our lives.
When obstacles overwhelm
us, we can forget or ignore the
nudging of the Holy Spirit. But
when we hear Christs voice
and follow him, we can stand
firm in the knowledge that no
matter how hard the wind may
blow, His hand will calm, protect, and guide us. Listening
to Christs voice through the
Spirit or the words of scripture
will not only help us overcome
the challenges of today but will
also strengthen us for the ones
we face tomorrow.
Thought for the day: The
Holy Spirit helps us to hear
Christs voice
Prayer: Dear Lord, help us
hear your voice and follow you
faithfully. Amen.

EDITORIAL
Greer setting example of

unity, community peace
The kind of devastation we experienced last
week leaves everyone asking questions and
searching for hope.
Sadly, the news of more shootings, more protests and further racial division probably isnt
new to most Americans. Were spoon-fed our
daily dose of horror each time we turn on a
television. A video of someone dying isnt even
something CNN warns you about anymore. Its
simply the new normal.
Weve seen the African American community
become enraged because of police interactions
that end in death. Weve seen hate groups rise
up to combat other hate groups, usually in the
name of a victim that never intended to be a
symbol of protest.
Last weekend, we saw five police officers murdered in the name of racial injustice.
The best thing we could hope for right now
is unity and clarity on where to go from here.
But as weve noticed in the past, these incidents
often drive a deeper wedge between folks with
different ideologies.
So where do we turn?
The City of Greer turned to prayer.
On Monday afternoon, members of the community, local churches and elected officials
gathered at Greer First Baptist to pray. There
really wasnt anything else on the agendajust
prayer.
Theres nothing new about violence, murder,
poverty, racism, hunger, extortion, robbery, lying, bigotry or injustice, Greer Mayor Rick Danner told the crowd. What is new is that we now
have the ability and resources to address many
of these issuesUnfortunately, the problem is
not human resources, but the lack of human
will power. We have allowed ourselves to grow
indifferent.
But the mayor didnt stop there. Along with
pastors from local congregations and police officers, Danner went on to pray for our nation.
The group prayed for our police, for our elected
officials, for our neighborhoods and for the

hurting families in Louisiana, Minnesota and

Greer is a special place, and its because
people in Greer love their neighbors. We still
have our own issues. Theres still poverty here.
Theres still racial divisions here. Theres still
crime here.
But a response like this is not something you
see everywhere else.
Last year, after a shooting in Charleston took
nine lives, Greer came together. The city prayed
and mourned together. It wasnt anything new
for Greer back then and it wont be a new idea
for the city in the future.
Our city is setting the example. Our people
want to love each other and come together during times of division. Sadly, you cant say the
same for the rest of the country.
While others march in protests, express anger
and emphasize differences, the City of Greer
is busy combating hate the only way it knows
how: with prayer.
Our nation doesnt react well to difficult situation. We dont work on solutions, hear each
other out or mourn with those who mourn.

the real impact violence has on many of our fellow Americans.

the world looks at us, theyre going to see a
community that does things different. Thats
because our leadership takes its job seriously.
Thank you Mayor Danner and those that organized the service Monday afternoon. Events like
that give us a reason to hope.

Healing
hen tragedy strikes, we

look for something or
someone to blame.
It is a natural reaction.
Some blame circumstances;
others blame the individuals involved. Some blame the things
used to cause the harm; others
blame those who share what
happened.
Many are asking why questions.
Why are bad things happening? Why do they seem
to be getting worse and more
frequent?
Instead of answering our
questions, the Everlasting
Father often draws us nearer
to Himself by showing us more
of His character in the midst of
hard times.
Psalm 5:4-6 says, For you
are not a God who delights in
wickedness; evil may not dwell
with you. The boastful shall
not stand before your eyes; you
hate all evildoers. You destroy
those who speak lies; the Lord
abhors the bloodthirsty and
deceitful man.
And the next verses humbled
me.
Psalm 5:7-8 says, But I,
through the abundance of your
steadfast love, will enter your
house. I will bow down toward
your holy temple in the fear
of you. Lead me, O Lord, in
your righteousness because of
my enemies; make your way
straight before me.
The Author of Creation,
Maker of heaven and earth,
has revealed Himself to us in
nature and the Bible.
A listening ear goes a long
way in healing pain.
Cry out to the Wonderful
Counselor who longs to hear
your heart. Look to the Everlasting Father who gave His
only Son to us while we hated,
despised and ultimately killed
Him.
Listen to the Lamb of God
who came to testify to the
truth and give abundant life;
He received rejection, betrayal
and abandonment--for us.
Taste and see that the Lord
is good. Put your hand in His
and follow Him all the days of
your life.
Only in that position can
we know peace in the midst
of chaos, joy in the midst of
heartache and love in the midst
of terror.
Jesus says in John 16:33, I
have said these things to you,
that in me you may have peace.
In the world you will have
tribulation. But take heart; I
have overcome the world.

switch?
Q: Were working the
debt snowball, and together my husband and I
make $93,000 a year. The
amounts of our remaining three debts are so
close we wonder if we
should take interest rates
into account. Two are
student loans for $2,970
and $6,700, while the
...when you knock

out the little debt
and immediately

the others with a

accomplishment
and confidence.
other is credit card debt
in the amount of $4,750.
I also got a recent bonus
of $3,600. Should we
put that toward our debt
snowball?
DR: In a strictly mathematical sense, my
advice of paying off debt
smallest to largest may
be wrong, but its still the
correct advice. Besides,
if people were so good at
math they wouldnt have
debt in the first place,
would they?
If Im in your shoes, Id
have that lowest student
loan paid off in a heartbeat with the bonus you
mentioned. Id throw the
remainder, along with
your regular snowball
payments, at the credit
card and keep the debt
snowball rolling just like I
normally advise.
When youre pushing
to get out of debt fast,
interest rates dont really
matter much when you
add up actual dollars on
interest spent. If you were
going to keep debt around
for six or seven years,
then wed have something
to talk about. But when
you knock out the little
debt and immediately
plow through the others
with a vengeance, it gives
a real sense of accomplishment and confidence.
Remember, personal
finance is 80 percent
behavior and only 20 percent head knowledge.
So, mathematically
speaking, the advice Im
giving you might be a few
dollars wrong, but youll
benefit in other bigger,
long-lasting ways by gaining a sense of closure on
your debts, learning how
to delay pleasure and
staying on a plan!

Wellford changes industry

property to commercial
BY KAELYN PFENNING
STAFF WRITER
The City of Wellford is
looking to open the door
for commercial businesses.
At a special called meeting last week, Wellford
City Council approved the
first reading of Ordinance
No. 2016-0707 to Rezone
Properties Located on
Greenville Highway From
I-1 Light Industry to C-1
Transitional Commercial.
The property is owned
by the First National Bank
of Anderson, Texas, said
City Administrator Chris
Guy. I spoke with them
yesterday. They have no
problems with rezoning;
they just want to sell the

property.
Guy provided a list of
the businesses permitted
under Light Industry and
Transitional Commercial.
Light Industry, which is
the current zoning, allows
the property to be used
for trucking terminals,
fabricating shops, textile
plants and similar industries.
Transitional Commercial, which the city is looking to approve, permits
businesses such as restaurants, funeral homes,
medical facilities, radio/
TV stations, libraries, single and multi-family dwellings, daycare facilities,
real estate and insurance
brokers, paint/hardware
stores, personal services,
utilities substations, retail
businesses, parks, churches and schools.
The property has been
vacant for approximately
two years, Guy said. They
[bank owners] have had a
few construction people
in there to try to clean up
some things.
No one is looking to purchase the property at this
time.
So, this will be sold as
is? Councilman Wymond
Wilkins asked.
Thats what they are
trying to do now, yes,
Guy answered.
Keep Your Old Folks Home!
We appreciate you voting us as

Best Of GReeR!
Its truly an honor that my peers

and community and my state
have recognized my ability to serve.

SERVICE: Offers support for officers

FROM PAGE ONE
My biggest concern is that

we tear down the walls
that are separating us and
that we continue to grow
as a nation.
The police officers in
Dallas were murdered following protests in the city
Friday night. The protests
were sparked by recent officer-involved shootings in
Louisiana and Minnesota,
where two African-American men lost their lives.
Greer Police Chief Dan
Reynolds said he addressed his officers immediately following the Dallas shooting, reassuring
them of their safety.
What
happened
in
Dallas was an anomaly,
Reynolds said. (Our officers) live in a very safe
community and the people
here are very supportive
of police.
They cant avoid what
they need to do because
theyre afraid, he said.
Theyve got to go out and
do their job to make sure
this community is safe.
Nobody came here

to criticize anybody.
They came to
show how thankful
they were...We
need to work, as
a community,
to improve the
conditions that exist
here...
Dan Reynolds
Greer Police Chief
Reynolds attended the

prayer service, along with
many other Greer Police
officers.
Nobody came here to
criticize anybody. They
came to show how thankful they were, Reynolds
said. No blame needs to
be laid on anybody. We
need to work, as a community, to improve the

conditions that exist here.
This is not a perfect community. We still have people that are hungry, need
jobs or need an education,
so we have to focus our attention on improving life
here in Greer.
Danner issued several
challenges to the packed
sanctuary Monday afternoon, calling for action
instead of silence.
We can choose to waste
our own lives by divorcing
ourselves from true civic
engagement, or we can
decide that we no longer
want to remain silent or
neutral about the problem
that we face as a community, as a state and as a nation, Danner said.
Simmons said he was encouraged to see his community come together.
Im thankful that, in
Greer, we have a community that is respectful of diversity. Its really
unique, he said.

WELLFORD: Residents raise concerns

FROM PAGE ONE
ACS Zoning Variance Proposal.

During typical work
hours, the building will
only be occupied by office staff (five employees),
and will serve as parking
for all field employees.
Outside of office hours,
the surrounding land will
be used for storing trucks
and equipment, according
to the proposal.
The most bothersome
noise would come from
fleet vehicle maintenance
and the occasional operating forklift, according to
the proposal. Our current
office space is located in
a shared office building,
and there have never been
any complaints regarding
noise or cleanliness.
Several residents attended the council meeting, and a few expressed
desires regarding to the
rezoning request.
Number one, we need to
get businesses in Wellford

in order to build up Wellford, Diane Boyd of Wellford said. If we dont
were not going to get any
revenue. Our taxes are going to go up, and its not
fair to the citizens. Thats
our income in trying to get
anything done.
Nikki and Kenneth Copeland of Wellford, owners of Nevaeh Realty, expressed their concerns.
This is not the location for that, Nikki said.
I spoke with several residents in the area, went
door-to-door knocking, on
Sunday. They all opposed
what you want to bring
in the residential community.
I do agree we need commercial, she continued.
Theres commercial spots
on 29 and other locations
for commercial business,
not in a residential neighborhood to bring our
property values down.
Kenneth spoke after his
wife.
Bringing this concrete
company in will deplete
whole property values,
without a shadow of a
doubt, he said. Ive seen
online that you have a plan
for a community park in
the city of Wellford. Now,
thats what we need. We
need something to attract
people to the city of Wellford, for the city of Wellford to grow.
Traffics going to pick
up, Kenneth added. Its
going to push our property values down lower than
what they are. We need
something in the city of
Wellford to bring up our
property values. There are
grants out there that the
city of Wellford can obtain.
The second reading took
place at a special council
meeting last night, July 12,
at Wellford City Hall.
Weekend Outlook
Summer weather pattern
After a week of mostly sunny and hot weather

GILLESPIE: Ready for new challenge

FROM PAGE ONE
I think most everyone in

the town knows the folks
that are on council, and I
think everyone is ready for
Lyman to move forward
and build some credibility back, he said. I think
the previous council did
a good job starting that
building block, and were
going to build on that.
Although Wyatt will no
longer serve as Mayor Pro
Tem, Gillespie said he is
happy to still have him on
council.
I respect him and would
encourage any ideas that
hes got for the future of
Lyman, Gillespie said.
Hes a good man and hes
good for the town.
Gillespie said he would
like to establish a five-year
plan for the town.
We have to have a target to shoot for, he said.
Wed like to be able to
give the residents of Lyman a park and make
some improvements that
would make this place a
better place to live.
Although he has more
than a decade of government experience, Gillespie
said the next few months
will be an adjustment.
Ive never worked on

a local level before, so
its going to be an adjustment, he said. I dont
know how hard the transition is going to be, but the
council has the same objectives I do, so I think it
will be fairly smooth.
Gillespie said his number one priority in year
one is to maximize the
citys budget without raising taxes.

I dont foresee any tax
increases or anything like
that. I think we can do the
job without raising taxes,
he said. Thats the goal, if
I have anything to do with
it.

Greer PD seeking suspect
Crossing incident
Greer Police, Greer Fire Department, Greenville County EMS and CSX responded to an
incident on Suber Mill Road Wednesday afternoon when an SUV was struck by a CSX train
at the crossing. A patient was transported to the hospital. The Suber Mill Road crossing
does not have crossing gates or flashing lights.
ACCIDENT: Train company urges safe

practices at railroad crossings
FROM PAGE ONE
Norfolk Southern officials said Deane was not

at a designated crossing
when he was struck
The
individual
was not at the public
Fourth Street highway/
rail crossing, which is
equipped
with
lights,
gates and bells, said Susan Terpay, Director Corporate Communications
for Norfolk Southern Corporation.
The train, which had
two locomotives and 13
rail cars, was traveling at
track speed of 60 miles per
hour and was unable to
stop, Terpay continued.
Its important to note that
trains cannot stop quickly
or swerve. It takes a train
traveling at 55 mph up to
a mile and half to come to
a complete stop.
Greer Police Chief Dan
Reynolds said on Monday

this is the second train-related death he can recall in
recent years.
In both incidents, people were wearing headsets
and were listening to a radio, not paying attention,
Reynolds said. Otherwise,
they would have been safe.
It is important to always
pay attention and be aware
of your surroundings.
TRAIN SAFETY TIPS

FROM NORFOLK SOUTHERN
Trains overhang the tracks

by at least three feet in both
directions; loose straps hanging from rail cars may extend
even further. If you are in the
right-of-way next to the tracks,
you can be hit by the train.
It is dangerous to cross the
tracks immediately after a train
passes. A second train might
be blocked by the first. Trains
can come from either direction. Wait until you can see
clearly around the first train in
both directions.
Flashing red lights indicate a
train is approaching from either direction. You can be
fined for failure to obey these
signals. Never walk around or
behind lowered gates at a
crossing, and DO NOT cross
the tracks until the lights have
stopped flashing and its safe
to do so.
Hunting, fishing or bungee
jumping from railroad trestles
is prohibited. There is only
enough clearance on the
tracks for a train to pass.
Trains do not follow set
schedules and can come at
any time.
The Greer Police Department is seeking assistance

in identifying a subject involved in a shoplifting/ assault and battery that took
place at Target within the
city of Greer.
On July 2, an unidentified
black female entered the
store at 6025 Wade Hampton Blvd in Taylors. She
proceeded to take clothing and sunglasses and
place them into her purse
before the Loss Prevention
Officer made contact with
her. As the LPO guided
her to the LPO Office she
pulled back, took pepper
spray out of her purse and
tried to spray the LPO in
the face. The subject then
fled out the front doors

Junior legion advances after win

Will play
Spartanburg
this week
BY BILLY CANANDA
SPORTS EDITOR
The Greer American Legion Post 115 junior team
is on its way to the second
round of the playoffs, having defeated Williamston
in a three-game series last
week.
Greer went 13-9 during
the regular season, beating nearly every opponent
at least one time. The ju-
nior team will advance to

play Spartanburg, a team
they split a pair of games
with earlier this season.
Theyve been open to
playing small ball and doing what is necessary to
win games, head coach
Henry
Treadgill
said.
Thats the kind of commitment you like to see,
and its probably been the
most impressive aspect of
this team.
Post 115 stumbled in
game one against Williamston, falling 16-2 on
the road.
We struggled in the
first game, Treadgill said.
We just didnt show up at
all, but they didnt hang
their heads. The kids re-
bounded and got the win

at home.
After picking up a win at
home, Greer hit the road
to close things out later in
the week. Post 115 began
its three-game series with
Spartanburg on Tuesday,
but results were not available at press time.
Our guys are very resilient. They have that never
say die attitude and they
do a good job of showing how much heart they
have, Treadgill said. To
coin a phrase from Dabo
Swinney, you have to bring
your own guts. Thats exactly what I feel like these
kids have done.
Treadgill said his team
came together after an

early-season blowout loss.

It kind of gave us an
early benchmark to get
things together, Treadgill said. We knew we had
a team of very good athletes, but it was a matter
of getting the guys to work
together.
We got ourselves into
a decent rotation and

were able to win some key
games, he said. Overall,
we feel like our players are
as good as anyone youll
see in American Legion.
Greers pitching staff
has been strong all summer, featuring the likes of
Ryan Cheek, Parker Campbell, Colin Solesbee and
Grayson Armstrong.
You really cant just talk
about one guy, because
our team doesnt revolve
around one superstar
Treadgill said. Everybody
does their job, top to bottom, and thats how weve
been able to make a run.

PRESTON BURCH | THE GREER CITIZEN
Greers senior team was knocked out of postseason contention last week by Lancaster.
Greer senior legion falls

in first round of playoffs
BY BILLY CANNADA
SPORTS EDITOR
After a rough regular
season, the senior legion
squad was knocked out of
the playoffs by Lancaster
last week, falling 5-3 in
just one game.
Greer had to concede its
second game due to injuries.
Post 115 wrapped up
regular season play with
a record of 8-15, but head
coach Eric Moody said his
guys have nothing to feel
bad about.
Im not ashamed of
these guys, he said. They
played their hearts out for
me this year.
Greer had a late lead on
Lancaster, but like most of
the season, was unable to
finish the job.
We had them 1-0 going into the bottom of
the eighth, but they managed to get a couple of
blooper hits and that buried us, head coach Eric

Moody said. I really felt
good about the way we
were playing. I think we
mightve had one error the
whole game, so you cant
fault those guys.
Moody said his team lost
a number of games in the
eighth inning this season.
Several of the games
we lost, we should have
won, Moody said. The
best team in our region
was Gaffney, and they always got us in the eighth
inning. We just had a lot
of trouble late in games.
Youve got guys that are
used to high school baseball and seven innings, so
its a tough adjustment.
The Post 115 roster
didnt have a lot of time
to prepare for the season,
which put Greer in a hole
to start the summer.
We had a good squad,
but we didnt have much
time to prepare, Moody

said. Wed only practiced
a couple of times before
the first game of the season, and Inman pounded us. After that game,
though, the team game
together.
Moody said his team was
led by Greer Highs freshman catcher, Logan Magera, among other standouts.
He was phenomenal for
us, Moody said. He was
one of the top catchers
in the league, no doubt.
Tyler Crowe also came
through for us, as well
as Kenny Campbell and
Brandon Wortkoetter. All
these guys showed a lot of
heart. It was a good group
of kids that really came together.
Moody is in his first
season with the Post 115
senior team and plans to
return next summer.
ince Im known as the

resident 5-year-old in
my office, I would be
remiss if I didnt share my
thoughts on the popular
new cell phone game,
Pokmon Go.
I understand if I just
lost half my readers right
there. Its OK. Come back
next week when I discuss
sports and other general
nonsense that goes on in
my life.
But for those of you still
here, welcome. You must
be fellow Pokmon trainers!? (or at least mildly
concerned about the
random people walking
up and down your street
at midnight.)
I may be dating myself
here, but there was a brief
season in my life (less
than a year) where I had a
thing for Pokmon cards.
I was young and in the
fifth grade with nothing
better to do. I spent every
allowance I was given on a
brand new pack of cards,
only to wheel and deal
them away to friends the
next day at school.
I realize Pokmon isnt
cool. Actually, I realized
that back in fifth grade
when I was collecting
cards.
But Pokmon Go is
one of the best apps
ever invented (until next
week when another craze
starts).
For those of you still
not following, Pokmon
Go is a video game that
allows you to walk around
(using Google maps) and
catch creatures known as
Pokmon.
Its the first video game
(with the exception of the
Wii maybe) that makes
you participate in physical
activity to advance in the
game. The only way to get
more Pokmon and build
your stats is to explore.
But this game isnt
going to make you more
social. In fact, it will
make you look more like
a millennial than youve
ever looked before, as
you stroll downtown with
your eyes fixated on your
phone.
But I cant stop playing,
and neither can the world.
For a game that is less
than a week old, Pokmon Go downloads have
already surpassed the
number of active Twitter
users. For the first time
ever, Im actually on the
front end of one of these
new trends.
Dont believe me? Go
see for yourself.
Greer City Park is
the Mecca of all things
Pokmon. There are Battle
Stations, Pok Stops and
many different types of
creatures to find (Im
disappointed in myself
writing this column, believe me).
But you dont need a
cell phone app to see any
of that. Just walk through
the park and take a look
at all the people youve
never seen there before.
Sunday night after
church (we meet at the
old Greer Opry House),
my friends and I were seeing young couples pass by
with cell phones leading
the way.
Pokmon? I would
ask.
Yeah, theyd all say,
with a little bit of shame
in their voice.
I guess its a good thing
to get nerds outside,
right? I mean, everybody
needs a little exercise.
So what if that exercise includes evolving your Bulbasaur and powering up
your Eevee (dont worry,
Im almost donethis is
just as painful for me as
it is for you).
The real winner here is
the phone carriers.
Verizon is gonna be
pretty happy with me
after I spent all month
racking up Pok Balls and
collecting Stardust.
But this is my life now.
Theres no going back
(hopefully thats not true).

Keselowski saves fuel, wins wild race at Kentucky

BY REID SPENCER
NASCAR WIRE
Brad Keselowski had his
mojo working in Saturday
nights Quaker State 400

Saving just enough fuel
to get to the finish line,
Keselowski eked out a
heart-thumping
victory
over Carl Edwards to win
his second consecutive
NASCAR Sprint Cup Series
race and his third at Kentucky Speedway.
But this was not the
same bumpy, abrasive

GREER BOOSTERS TAKING

HALL OF FAME NODS
The Greer High Booster

Club is accepting nominations for induction into
the Athletic Hall of Fame.
2014. This was a repaved,

reconfigured 1.5-mile intermediate track fraught
with treachery, especially
when combined with the
lower-downforce aerodynamic package in use for
the race.
Keselowski got to the
finish line .175 seconds
ahead of Edwards, who
made up a deficit of more
than six seconds in the
final 10 laps but couldnt
quite get to Keselowskis
rear bumper on the final
lap.
When Keselowski took
the checkered flag, his fuel
cell was dry. The driver of
the No. 2 Team Penske
Nominees must have

graduated from Greer
High a minimum of five
years before becoming eligible. Criteria are based on
athletic accomplishments
as a high school student.
Nominations must include
the candidates specific
accomplishments as an
athlete and any postseason honors received, such
as All-Region, All-State,
Shrine Bowl and NorthSouth All-Star games.
The deadline for nominations is Friday, Aug. 26.
They must be submitted
in writing to GHS Hall of
Fame, 121 Rubiwood Circle, Greer, 29651.
The Hall of Fame will
induct new members in
ceremonies at halftime on
Sept. 9 during the Greer

Ford didnt have enough

gas to do a celebratory
burnout, and he needed a
push from a safety truck
to get to Victory Lane.
Keselowski took the lead
from Kevin Harvick after
a restart on lap 200 and
held it the rest of the way,
except for Lap 261, when
Matt Kenseth took the
top spot and immediately
came to pit road for fuel.
By then, the die was cast
for Keselowski, who was
committed to finishing the
race without another fuel
stop.
We knew the fuel mileage, said Keselowski, who
won for the fourth time

it became obvious that

Achilles heel, but to get a

know its been a good track

number four and take that
first place.
When Keselowski slowed
through Turn 4 on the

thought he had the race
won, but in retrospect,
Edwards believed he had
been beaten by a cunning
opponent.
Yeah, I thought he was
out of fuel coming off of

did it very well, Edwards
said, who indicated on his
radio with more than a lap
left that he was out of fuel.
If he didnt beat me, Id be

Keselowski,

A PORTRAIT OF ELVIS
Greer
remembers
David Deane
BY KAELYN PFENNING
STAFF WRITER
Residents of Greer are

remembering one of their
own hidden treasures.
David Deane, better
known as Elvis by many,
walked the streets of Greer
for many years, adopting
the likeness of the King
in his kindness, giving and
entertainment.
He enjoyed going to
different churches, but he
gravitated mostly to Grace
Place, Bill said. People
accepted him.
Elvis loved to sing,
Harvell said. And he
loved to sing loud. I would
get beside him and try to
harmonize. He made a joyful noise.
He sang solo hymns on
stage at Grace Place, but
also enjoyed Presleys favorites.
When Elvis sang karaoke,
he came alive. He was
somebody, Bill said. Personally, I never thought
he could carry a note, but
that didnt stop him.
He loved his karaoke at
the Village Bar & Grill, Bill
said. They are very special people.
FRIENDS BECOME FAMILY
His favorite thing

to do was to sing a
few bars of one of
Elvis songs, then
strike a pose.
Michael Joe Harvell
Above left (dressed as Elvis)

with Deane
He knew people everywhere, said Michael Joe
Harvell, Pastor of Grace
Place. He considered everyone a friend.
Born on May 17, Elvis
grew up in a suburb of Miami as the second oldest
of four brothers. In 2000,
Bill Deane, one of his
younger brothers, moved
their family from Florida
to Greer.
Elvis regularly strolled
Highway 14, but changed
his route to the downtown
area in recent years.
I dont know how many
miles he walked, Harvell
said.
He would walk from
Greer all the way to Taylors, said his youngest
brother Don.
These last few years, he
was in excellent health,
Bill said. He would probably walk four to eight
miles a day.
If rain came, Elvis would
catch a ride to church
with Harvell or one of his
brothers.
Melody Peterson, owner

of the Village Bar & Grill for
15 years, and her mother
took Elvis to Graceland, Elvis Presleys home in Memphis, Tennessee.
We had a wonderful,
great time, Peterson said.
Elvis came into my
place 15 years ago or 16
years ago, Peterson said.
Hed sit down and I didnt
know who he was. I said,
what can I help you with?
and what is your name?
He said, well, you can
call me Evel Knievel or you
can call me Elvis, Peterson said. I said, I guess
Ill name you Elvis.
We called him Elvis
ever sinceeveryone in
Greer, Peterson said. He
became a very good friend
of mine.
As their friendship grew,
Peterson offered Elvis the
chance to help her.
He would help me wash
dishes, Peterson said.
He would help me run errands. He would help me
do anything that I asked
him.
He was a very giving
person, Peterson said. All
the money that he made
from working for me, he
would go buy somebody in
Greer something with it.
Peterson shared how Elvis called her every day,
and she took him out to
eat on his birthday.
He loved everyone, Peterson said, and everyone
in Greer knew him from
coming to The Village and
walking in Greer and being
good to everyone.
He was so close to her,
Bill said. He used to call
her sister.
Elvis owned his own Elvis Presley costume complete with the wig and

Friends and family say David Deane had a larger than life personality and always enjoyed
singing.
sunglasses, Harvell said.
He loved to impersonate Elvis. His favorite thing
to do was to sing a few
bars of one of Elvis songs,
then strike a pose.
Elvis also liked jewelry,
lighters, watches and stuff
with Harley-Davidson on
it, Harvell said, but his
prized possessions, he
wore a pair of Carhartt
overalls. He had a Carhartt jacket he wore pretty
much all winter. He was
very proud of those.
Elvis saw himself as an
entertainer, Harvell said.
He had a little smile he
would get on his face when
he saw he was making that
connection. He kept things
interesting. He kept you
on your toes.
Harvell liked to joke
with Elvis by answering
the phone using different
voices, Harvell said. He
wasnt ever quite sure, was
it me or was I playing another one on him.
The next time they saw
each other, Harvell would
use that same voice, and
Elvis would recognize
him.
Harvell had last spoken
on the phone to Elvis in
Spanish and had looked
forward to speaking Spanish in person, but I never
got that chance.
At around 8:40 a.m. last
Wednesday, Elvis, who
came over. Harvell invited

Elvis to join him, and they
started talking. Elvis introduced himself as Elvis.
Later, Harvell learned his
real name.
Harvell knew him as an
acquaintance first. Then,
Elvis came to Grace Place,
and Harvell became his
pastor. As they spent
more time together, their
friendship grew until Elvis
became like family to Harvell.
He gave me way more
than I ever did for him,
Harvell said. He was a
giver.
One time, Elvis gave
Harvell a full-sized standup of Elvis. From then on,
Elvis would ask, You still
got Elvis?
Harvell said he does still
have Elvis.
He was always looking to give something to
someone else, Harvell
said, whether that gift was
advice, a blessing, encouragement or a pat on the
back.
Elvis was always teaching, Harvell said. He talked
to Harvells two daughters
like they were his little
sisters, Listen to your
daddy. He called himself
big brother Elvis. Elvis
had received good teaching from his dad, and he
passed it on.
Elvis father, a transport
pilot in both the Korean
and Vietnam wars, passed
away from Alzheimers
disease in 2004, and Elvis
mother passed away in
2008.
It was an honor taking care of my parents,
Bill said. My two brothers never left home. Elvis
was a mental health patient. They took care of us,
and now we took care of
them.

was a mental health patient, walked in front of a
Norfolk Southern train in
downtown Greer.
Bill stopped by Grace
Place to let Harvell know
what had happened. A volunteer was there, and they
called Harvell, who was on
the Interstate on his way

to Greer.
I cried, Harvell said,
knowing life would never
be the same without his
friend.
Harvell first met Elvis at
McDonalds 16 years ago.
He sat in a booth, and Elvis
As a boy, Elvis played

football, baseball and basketball, Bill said. He was
always athletic.
We grew up in a different time where neighborhoods were communities,
and everybody knew each
other, Bill said. We grew
up together.
Elvis took a liking to
surfing, Bill said. He
would travel to South
Beach before the beach became what it is today.
Elvis always had a flair
for getting attention, Bill
said.
He was a daredevil,
Harvell said.
Elvis also got all wrapped
up in Evel Knievel,

Pokmon craze hits downtown Greer

BY BILLY CANNADA
EDITOR
Downtown Greer is going Pok-crazy with the
release of the Niantics
Pokmon Go smart phone
application, which debuted
over the weekend.
All my friends and

family were getting
the app, and I was
trying to avoid it,
but I gave in.
Nicholas Labrecque
Pokmon Go is an openworld video game allowing
users to explore the city
using Google Maps, with
the goal of catching more
Pokmon.
Monday
afternoon,
Greer City Park was full
of new users who were rekindling their love for the
franchise.
Nicholas Labrecque has
only been playing for a
couple of days.
My familywere all big
gamers. We used to play
Pokmon back in the day,
said Labrecque, a Taylors
resident. When this came
out, it just started all over
again. All my friends and
Rebecca Mitchell, left, and Ronald Charping, center, sit by the fountain in city park, hoping
to catch a glimpse of a new Pokmon.
family were getting the
app, and I was trying to
avoid it, but I gave in. A lot
of old memories are coming back.
The game is designed
to allow users to build up
their aresenal of Pokmon
in order to battle at various stations in the area.
These stations are often
located at landmarks such
as Greer City Park and the
Greer Police Deparment.
Labrecque said hes
been all over town hunt-
ing Pokmon and battling

with friends.
Ive been to downtown
Greenville,
downtown
Greerthere are just a
lot of good spots here
that I dont have near my
house, Labrecque said. I
do live near two churches,
so that means more Pok
Stops.
A Pok Stop allows gamers to collect items needed to continue the quest.
They are located at most
churches. But all locations
are not created equal inside Pokmon Go, according to users.

Greenville is the best,
said Rebecca Mitchell,
who was also strolling the
park. Right by the Peace
Center. We were there for
maybe 20 or 30 minutes
(on Sunday) and there were
a ton of people around. Everybody was camped out
catching Pokmon.

UNIVERSAL PICTURES
Melissa McCarthy in The

Boss
COUCH THEATER
DVD Previews
BY SAM STRUCKHOFF
NEW RELEASES
FOR THE WEEK OF JULY 25
PICKS OF THE WEEK
The Boss (R) -- Melissa

McCarthy stars as a disgraced and unrepentant
swindler CEO who seeks
to rebuild her empire with
baked-good sales. Michelle
Darnell (McCarthy) is a
virtuoso of obscenity who
serves time for insider
trading after a villainous
ex (Peter Dinklage) rats
her out. While crashing
with her former assistant
(Kristen Bell), Michelle applies her cutthroat business tactics to pushing
Girl Scout-type cookies.
McCarthy has a few
good ad-lib sessions, but
sheer force of profanity
cant make the whole movie funny -- or fun. Director
Ben Falcone (who is married to the star of the picture) misses a chance to
put McCarthys cantankerous character energy into
a more-original story.
Sing Street (PG-13) - Setting his eyes on the
extremely cool Raphina,
young Conor finally feels
man enough to make a
move and ask her to be
in the music video for his
band. Unfortunately for
14-year-old Conor (Ferdia
Walsh-Peedo), hes not in a
band, he cant play music,
and hes the lowest-of-thelow on the social ladder
at his Dublin school. Everyone starts somewhere.
With his burn-out brother
as a spirit guide, Conor
turns a few stolen riffs
and a gaggle of other misfits into a band worthy of
his crush.
Director John Carney
made a splash with his debut, Once, another Dublin-based (sorta) love story
that used indie charm,
emotional complexity and
amazing musical talent to
get heaps of praise onto a
tiny-budget project. This
time he takes a different
tack by focusing on the
wonders of adolescence
with real feeling and excellent execution.
Born to be Blue (R) - Lying on a prison floor,
watching a tarantula creep
out of his trumpet, legendary jazz man Chet Baker
(Ethan Hawke) is due for
a comeback. The real-life
West Coast-based vocalist and horn blower hit a
low point by 1966 after
a promising start in the
1950s. Heroin had a lot
to do with it. Instead of
telling the story straight,
this film twists the notes
a bit. In the movie, Baker
is offered a chance to play
himself in his own biopic,
and the experience merges with his flashbacks
and sparks in him a real
chance to course-correct,
with the generous support
of the actress hired to play
his wife (Carme Ejogo).
The inventive storytelling
provides sturdy support
for two outstanding performances.
Hardcore Henry (R) - Pushing for the edge of
sanity, this action flick has
a large portion of videogame in its DNA. Its the
first film (to my knowledge) to successfully be
filmed start to finish in
first-person perspective
-- and almost entirely in
over-the-top action sequences. Our POV character wakes up in a laboratory watched over by a
beautiful scientist (Haley
Bennet). Youre Henry,
youve been brought back
from the dead, shes your
wife, and now shes kidnapped by baddies: time
to rampage. This time,
youre not watching some
Jason Statham-type dodge
punches on shaky-cam -youre in the heros head
for every flying jump-kick
and rapid-fire frenzy.

SLT FRINGE SERIES

PRESENTS AVENUE Q
The Spartanburg Little

Theatre returns to the
Chapman Center Stage for
a special summer engagement with the winner of
the 2004 Tony Award for
Best New Musical, Avenue
Q, July 15-24.
Irreverently
hilarious
and packed with heart, Avenue Q is an ingenious mix
of music and puppetry
that has often been called
an R-rated Sesame Street.
Its a familiar story: a
fresh-faced college graduate moves to New York
City in search of his fortune, and finds out from
the people around him that
life is a little different than
he thought. Theres one
big difference in this coming-of-age taleits characters are puppets. Winner
of the Tony Triple Crown
(Best Musical, Best Score
and Best Book) Broadway
hit Avenue Q brings to the
stage a colorful, hilarious
portrait of the real world.
Were expanding the
definition of what community theatre can be, says
Jay Coffman, Executive Artistic Director of the Spartanburg Little Theatre.
Our summer fringe series
allows us to present really
good shows that may not
necessarily fit, usually because of content, on our
more commercial main
stage season.
The Spartanburg Little
Theatre is also kicking off
their #sltcares initiative
at Avenue Q by partnering with Spartanburg area
non-profits to raise money
for and awareness of their
organizations. The six
non-profits represented
during Avenue Q are St
Lukes Free Medical Clinic, Safe Homes, Hub City
Animal Project, Piedmont
Care, HUB-BUB, and Gender Benders. Supporters
may contact these organizations for information
and coupon codes for discounted tickets.
Avenue Q runs July 15,
16, 22, and 23 at 8 p.m.
and July 17 and 24 at 3
p.m. Tickets can be purchased through the Ticket
Office at the Chapman
Cultural Center, by calling 585-2787 or online
at
www.chapmanculturalcenter.org. Please be
advised that Avenue Q is
only for audiences 18 and
over, as it contains adult
themes, language and lascivious puppet behavior.
CRITTERS EXHIBIT OPENS

AT RIVERWORKS GALLERY
The exhibition, Critters,

will open at RIVERWORKS
Gallery on July 15 and run
through Aug. 21 with an
opening reception scheduled for Friday, Aug. 5.
Trapped in the surreal,
forced to adapt to humanmade forces yet retaining
our idealization of cute,
maybe even warm and

fuzzy, these are the critters created by sculptor,
Anne Lemanski, printmaker, Meghan OConnor, and
photographer, Alice Sebrell. Critters offers fetching, humorous images
with a sad and frightening
commentary on human
power over nature. Each
artist questions the relationship of humankind
with the natural world and
each demonstrates the
possibility of our action
and inaction on the future
of the natural world. The
artist included in Critters
has also drawn or photographed or built appealing, smile-eliciting animals. Their appeal opens
our imagination to the artists cautionary tales and
invites us to replace these
critters with ourselves,
fellow inhabitants of the
natural world and also affected by the power of a
selfish, short-sighted, consumer culture.
21st Century Super Species: Jack-Dor is a mixed
media rabbit stitched by
Lemanski to sci-fi dimensions of 10 feet.
The 21st Century Super
Species is a new breed of
animal in reaction to extinctionAs consumers,
we need to acknowledge
the need for balance, and
renegotiate our constantly
shifting relationship with
the natural world, Lemanski said.
OConnor s prints are
masterfully drawn, sweet
little birds that grab you
with an ahh. You smile
as you rush up to admire
all that cuteness-then
suddenly, to be slammed
by the subtle image of
them tangled in electrical
wires or scissoring their
own wings. According to
OConnor, Animals become a stand-in for the
human figure and mechanical forms are metaphor for harmful systems
of power. The level of detail within the forms is a
representation of control;
whereas, the embossed
layers of loose mark-making symbolize letting go
to evoke empathy toward
the human condition and
show that outside variables are ultimately out of
our control.
In contrast to Lemanskis
and OConnors definable
mediums, Sebrell builds
sculpture utilizing eerie,
grinning taxidermy forms
combined with objects
or images and questions.
She then photographs
her sculptures as ghostly,
floating images each combined with text. Each photograph asks a question,
Where do you hide your
affection? Where do you
hide your beauty? Where
do you hide your innocence?

Nicholas Labrecque attempts to catch a Pokmon Monday

at Greer City Park.
CRAZE: Gamers in Greer

embrace inner child
FROM B4
prior experience with

Pokmon through Game
Boy games and trading
cards.
I started playing Pokmon when I was 11, said
Axucena. Back then, we
were playing it on the
Game Boy. Its just been a
fun hobby growing up.
Its a neat idea to have
a game where you can actually go out instead of
staying inside staring at a
screen, said Jordan Ferrell.
I saw people posting
pictures of the game online, so I decided to check
it out. I hadnt been around
Pokmon since like 2002,
so I figured now is as good
a time as any to get back
into it.
Ronald Charping tried
his luck on the Australian
version of the game before Pokmon Gos United
States release.
It was fun, but there
were constant problems
with it, he said. This one
is much better.
When asked to name
the craziest places theyve
been to catch Pokmon,
gamers in City Park listed:
behind Home Depot, back

alleys in Spartanburg and
even a cemetery.
I was on a back road
in Cherrydale trying to
find a church, and I could
barely fit my car on this
road, Mitchell said. It
turns out, the church had
been burned down, so this
Pokmon Gym was located
on a sketchy lot. Then, I
had some creepy guy following me, so I decided it
wasnt worth it.
You wont have to look
far to find someone playing the new game.
You can tell, Mitchell
said with a laugh. A lot
of people know what were
doing when they see us.

Green Nail Syndrome

is not easy to treat
DEAR DR. ROACH: For
the past four months,
I have had an infection
around the cuticle of my
right index finger. There
is green coloration under
the nail near the cuticle,
and the nail grew rather
deformed. I am a gardener and a homemaker, so
I tend to wash my hands
often. The urgent-care
doctor I saw prescribed
clindamycin and mupirocin cream. I also was told
to soak my finger twice
a day. My family doctor
took a culture and, because she did not know if
I had a fungus or an infection, prescribed Lamisil
and levofloxacin. She also
recommended saltwater
or peroxide soaks twice
daily. The culture showed
pseudomonas as the cause
of the infection.
With no improvement,
I saw an orthopedic doctor. He told me to continue the soaking and the
mupirocin cream. On my
second visit, he lanced the
area between the cuticle
and the nail bed. There
was improvement, but the
symptoms soon return.
The orthopedic doctor
spoke of removing the nail
as a possible solution to
clearing up the infection.
Is this my next step, or is
there something else I can
do? -- P.B.
ANSWER: It sounds as
though you have the aptly
named green nail syndrome, which is caused by

cated by a paronychia, an
infection along the side of
the nail. Your orthopedic
surgeon is quite right that
sometimes the nail needs
to be removed; however,
many people can avoid
that unpleasant procedure
(I had to perform it once)
with ciprofloxacin (the
best oral antibiotic against
pseudomonas), antiseptic
soaks and by keeping the
hands meticulously dry,
using gloves and even
using a hairdryer to dry
the nails after soaking or

***
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am
a 67-year-old male who
has had mild to moderate
psoriasis for the past seven years or so. I have been
avoiding the very effective
biological drugs because
of the scary possible side
effects. Instead, I use antiitch topical creams and
lotions, some with cortisone.
In researching the topic,
I ran across a treatment
called Fumaderm that is
available in Germany, but
I have never heard of it being used in the U.S. -- C.S.
ANSWER: Psoriasis is an
inflammatory skin condition that can range from
annoying to life-threatening in severity. Psoriasis

and its common complication, psoriatic arthritis, together are a highly
destructive arthritis that
often requires powerful
treatment: biologic agents,
like adalimumab (Humira)
or etanercept (Enbrel).
These do have the possibility of serious side effects, such as reactivation
of tuberculosis.
Fumaderm has been
used in Germany for 19
years with a generally
good safety record. There
have been reports of a disease, PML, caused by brain
virus, associated with Fumaderm, although it isnt
clear whether the Fumaderm predisposed the individuals to develop this
infection.
No medicine is free of
the possibility of side effects, and treatment for
psoriasis should be appropriate for the degree
of severity of the illness. If
you are doing well enough
with your current treatment, I wouldnt recommend trying a treatment
with a higher risk of serious side effects.
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.

NEW FOOD TRUCK
Greenville
County
Schools Food and Nutrition Services (FANS) rolled
out its new food truck
Thursday at A.J. Whittenberg Elementary School in
Greenville.
The truck will be used
to provide free summer
meals as part of the USDAs
summer feeding program,
and will be used throughout the school year to help
introduce new items on
school lunch menus. The
truck will also be utilized
to promote the school
foodservice program at
school carnivals, field
trips, summer reading
camps and other events
throughout the community and the district.
This is something that
is two and a half years in
the making, something
we have been very excited
about, said Joe Urban, Director of Food and Nutrition Services. We know
that we are feeding a tremendous number of students in the summer. We
have about 50 sites that
are feeding free breakfast and lunch to children
ages 18 and under, but we
know Greenville County
is so large that there are
pockets of this community
that dont have access to
our feeding sites, so this
mobile kitchen is going to
find them.

THE GREER CITIZEN B7
A gift from Nida Corporation and the Northrop

Rice Foundation will assist
the Aircraft Maintenance
Technology program at
Greenville Technical College in building real life
skills.
A donated emulator
allows students to learn
real power generation
systems, giving them experience in measuring current, load shed, and more.
The equipment, valued at
$12,500, allows instructors to teach the electronic
systems used in avionics
in the classroom, where
mistakes can be corrected
before students encounter
the systems in actual aircraft.
Nida Corporation is a
world leader in the development, design, and installation of sophisticated
electronics training systems. The companys advanced systems are used
by all branches of the military and at many colleges
to build real life skills.
Northrop Rice Foundation
works to promote education, professionalism and
safety within the aviation
industry. The foundation
does this by providing
scholarships to aviation
maintenance students, instructors and schools.
The industry needs to
meet that growth with an
increased number of qualified aerospace technicians. We are seeing more
and more pilotless aerial
platforms; however, both
manned and unmanned
aircraft
require
aviation technicians, Kevin
Gulliver, president of both
Nida Corporation and the
Northrop Rice Foundation,
said.
Our Aircraft Maintenance Technology pro-
gram is recognized by employers as top notch, and

an important component
of that quality education
is the strong inventory of
equipment we use to teach
thanks to generous industry partners like Nida Corporation and the Northrop
Rice Foundation, said Dr.
Keith Miller, president of
Greenville Technical College.
NGU RANKS AMONG

20 BEST COLLEGE DEALS
North Greenville University has been ranked

among the 20 best college deals for conservative
Christians by Great College Deals. NGU ranked 19
in the listing published in
June.
The 20 best deals were
selected and ranked based
on total number of points.
Points were awarded based
on the following criteria: presence of Bible and
Christ-centered academics; active campus groups
dedicated to worship; a
balance of liberal arts education and spiritual growth
opportunity; and any additional features that add
value for the Christian
student. Featured colleges
scored the highest among
schools with a net price of
$30,000 or less.
We are thrilled to be
ranked among the best college deals for conservative
Christians, says Interim
President Dr. Randall Pannell. Our faculty and staff
members remain committed to conservative values
and to the universitys vision: to provide each student with an exceptional
education in an authentic
Christian environment for
a successful life of service. We are proud to offer
biblically sound, Christcentered, and affordable
higher education.

Elvis: Family, Greer community remember the life of David Deane

He quit all his
from B4
Bill said, and became

known as Evil Dave to
his friends.
He
would
practice
jumping small mounds,
with his dirt bike, Bill said.
He had his own little outfit. He was a character.
One time, Elvis built an
eight-foot wall in the street
and lit the wall on fire.
Then, he crashed through
the wall with his bike.
I was standing right
next to the wall, Bill said.
I didnt know if he was
going to get injured.
Elvis had called the news
media beforehand, Bill
said, and police showed
up to say, you cant do
this. Elvis said, okay.
Their mom never knew.
Early in his life, Elvis got
involved with some substance abuse, which he
overcame, Harvell said.
shenanigans and
turned around. I
was so proud of
him.
Bill Deane
Brother
Elvis worked part-time

when someone would provide a job he could do, but
without a full-time job, Elvis had a lot of time on his
hands, Bill said. There
were years he got mixed
up with drugs.
He stopped on his own,
Bill said. He decided it
was time for a change.
Hes been clean for 10
years, said Don.
A few years back, Elvis
went to the hospital with
pneumonia, Harvell said,
and Harvell visited him

there. Elvis never forgot.
I thought I was going to
lose him that day, Harvell
said.
He was lucky to survive
that, Bill said.
There were some great
people over there, Bill
said of the nurses and
doctors in Travelers Rest
and with the Greenville
Hospital System.
After Elvis recovered,
he returneddressed as
Elvisto say thank you
and to visit with other patients.
That was heart-wrenching, Bill said. He touched
a lot of peoples lives.
Last Friday, a lady
brought a pie to Elvis
brothers and shared how
Elvis had influenced her
to stop doing drugs, Bill
said.
If he could do it, anybody could do it, Bill said.
He quit all his shenanigans and turned around. I

was so proud of him.
With all his limitations,
he wasnt going to slow
down and let any of that
get in his way, Bill said.
Elvis used to drive, but
when we got up here, we
didnt want him to drive.
Bill explained how they
were concerned about
Elvis being able to react
quickly enough. When Elvis walked, he visited his
friends in restaurants,
stores and other places
around Greer. Harvell said
he has memories of Elvis
all over Greer.
He had a knack or ability to talk to anybody, Bill
said. I attribute that to
my parents.
Elvis attended public
school but was not treated
different. He was socialized, Bill said. That later
turned out to be a wonder-
ful thing.
Elvis had gone to the
doctors office two days
before, and he had an appointment at 2:30 p.m. on
July 7 at mental health.
A lot of people miss
him, Bill said. Everybodys special no matter
what your limitations are.
Were all here for a reason.
Elvis had a lot of patience
with people who were not
kind to him. He was always
gentle and giving.
He really wanted to
make life better for people, Harvell said. That
was just his heart. He was
always trying to encourage, be a blessing and lift
people up.
I think Greer has a lot
ofwhat I callhidden
treasures in people, Harvell said. When you really
get to know them and their
heart, theyre very special
and very sweet, and they
make life richer, and Greer

really does seem to be
gifted with a lot of those
what I callhidden treasures. Some are celebrated
and some are ignored.
For Harvell, every room
at Grace Place has a memory with Elvis, who would
drop by to top off his tea
and follow Harvell as he
went about his work.
Elvis wanted a memorial service at Grace Place
for his friends, Harvell
said, and they are working on putting something
together.
In memory of Elvis, Bill
created a Facebook group
called Remembering David Elvis Deane to announce memorial services
and to allow people to express their sentiments or
share their stories of Elvis
with others, Bill said.
