Halloween Hoopla returns to Greer Saturday

BY BILLY CANNADA
EDITOR
Costumes, crafts and
plenty of candy will be on
hand Saturday in Greer
City Park, as Halloween
Hoopla returns for another year.
The event, led by Freedom Fellowship, offers a
free Halloween alternative
from noon- 4p.m. for local
families and trick-or-treaters.
We focus on providing
entertainment, fun, crafts
and candy for families--for
little to no expense, Freedom Fellowship connections pastor Donny Kauff-
man said. Families can

come and do everything
for free. We just want to
have a good, clean family
environment at a very low
cost.
Greer Mayor Rick Danner
said the event has done
well and has traditionally
drawn a large crowd.
Freedom
Fellowship
has done a really good
job of putting an event
together that serves as
kind of an alternative to
the traditional Halloween
trick-or-treating, Danner
said. Its really is a good
event that works well with
the season.
Freedom Fellowship has
been in charge of the event

for seven years Kauffman
said.
Originally, Halloween
Hoopla was done downtown through the Greer
Station Association, he
said. The chamber asked
us if we wanted to take
over the event, because
we had done some larger
events downtown, and we

thought it would be a great
opportunity for us.
We want to show the
community we love them
by serving them. Thats
why we started doing it in
the first place.
More than 100 Freedom
Fellowship
volunteers,
along with volunteers
from The Church at Greer

Station, plan to help at this
Saturdays event, which
will feature a number of
Halloween games for children.
Well have 2,500-3,000
people show up, Kauffman said. Thats usually
kind of the turnout we see.
Well have over 100 vol-
unteers from the church

helping and giving away
candy. Well have crafts
kids can do. Well have the
blowup rides they can play
on. And, this year were
doing games where kids
can win candy as prizes.
Where there are children
on Halloween, there must
also be candy Kauffman
said.
Last year, we probably
had a little over 150,000
pieces of candy, he said.
Its a lot. Well probably
have close to that amount
again this year.

Taylors residents are

concerned about sewage
overflowing from a manhole near the Enoree River.
Renewable Water Resources (ReWa) officials say they
are doing what they can to
take care of the problem.
Taylors residents Boyce

to the town about 30 years
ago.
Throughout those decades theyve watched
during heavy rains as sewage gushed from the top
of a raised manhole near
their property.

That year, we hadnt
had that much rain, but
the river was almost up to
the bottom of the bridge,
Annette said, referring to
their first year in Taylors.
I havent seen it that high
since then. A short time later, after it had rained here,
the sewage line over the
river was gushing out and
going into the river.
Recently,
with
the
heavy rains the state has
experienced, the problem
occurred
again.
Its been 30 years and they
still havent done anything
about it, she said.
ReWa insists it is working on the problem. In
an Oct. 16 press release,
ReWa, which includes Taylors Fire and Sewer District as a subdistrict, says
it is addressing problems
all over their service area.

Celebrating the roots of Big Thursday

The financial goal for
the first Greer Community Ministries (GCM) Big
Thursday event in 1979
was $10,000. That goal
was exceeded when the
community rallied to raise
$25,000 for the sevenyear-old ministry created
to meet the needs of hungry people in the Greater
Greer area.
I had the idea that if we
did a community-wide bazaar it would get a lot of
people to participate and
come and we could raise a
lot of money for Community Ministries, said Bette
Bridges, the first chair of
Big Thursday. They were
living day to day and we
needed to create a reserve.
Bridges brought the idea
of a community bazaar
to the board at GCM having helped with a similar
event in Texas. The board
agreed to back the event
and Bridges was asked
to lead it. She put a committee together including
Nancy Welch, Pam James,
Melvene Owens, and Ann
Thomason.
I really think my committee was super. They
are the people that made
it happen, Bridges said.
Greer had a lot of talented
people and artsy people.
Theres no way one person
could do this.

weekly to assign duties
and update each other on
progress. They also enlisted the help of others,
Bridges said. J.N. McFadden put the first auction
together. Ruth Ammons
was in charge of GCM
cookbooks. Joan Wallace
prepared the luncheon
and fed over 100 more
people than the group
anticipated. The first hot
dog supper was led by the
Apalache Methodist Men.
The event was so successful that Bridges had
people wanting to support
it after the event. They
would stop her in the
grocery store and hand
her cash. She started
taking a special
bag to collect
the money
to
add
to the
one-
day event.
You have to remember
that we were only in business one day, Bridges
said. You need to sell everything you have in one
day. Things didnt always
go for what their true value was but everything was
given in love.
Ruby Painter remembers closing her shop,
Rubys Flowers and Gifts,
so that she and employee
Hilda Taylor Quinn could
attend Big Thursday.
You would see friends
that you hadnt seen in a
year, Painter said. Her
favorite memory of the
event was walking through
the yard sale tents outside
before heading in to check
out the items prepared by
the members of Apalache
Baptist Church.
They
would
really
spread a beautiful table
with jellies, pies, and
homemade cakes, Painter
said.
Things didnt
always go for what
their true value was
but everything was
given in love.
Bette Bridges
First chair of of Big Thursday

Another favorite from
the beginning was the
chance to buy an apple pie
made by Ann Helton. The
pies in 1979 were $3, but
in subsequent years, her
pies have sold for as much
as $150 each during the
auction.
The first year I sold
them all before I even got
them in there, Helton
said. She got help from
friends the next year so
that she could bring more
pies.
Everybody loved to
come help because
we had such a

good time, Helton said.

She is currently busy making 40 pies for this years
event.
Ruth Lister Kelly got
more involved with Big
Thursday in the early
1990s when she took early
retirement. With friends
Gwen Johnson and Lois
Vaughn, they turned an
abundance of garden vegetables into 100 quarts of
soup to sell at Big Thursday.
It took a number of sessions to make 100 quarts,
Kelly said. They sold like
hotcakes. We could have
sold 1,000.
Kelly also worked with
ladies at Pleasant Grove
Baptist
through
craft
workshops to make goods
to sell at Big Thursday like
pillows,
wreaths, quilts, and flower

arrangements. The church
also made ornaments and
decorated a Christmas
tree at the event to display
them.
Elsa Poole was a member
of the GCM board the year
that Big Thursday was held
on a Saturday. With more
people working during the
week, the board decided
a move was in order, but
that move only lasted one
year.
We didnt make money on the lunches, so we
moved it back the next
year, Poole said. The
idea of Big Thursday is really wonderful and some
of the things people make
are incredible.
Big Thursday is Nov. 5 at
Fairview Baptist Church,
1300 Locust Hill Road,
Greer, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Comfort food
ow do I say this without sounding

macabre?
I think Ill just plunge in.
If our family must endure an extraordinarily long spell of hospice and steel
ourselves each morning to see what each
day brings, can I just say how very grateful I am, we are, to be an Episcopalian?
Because of our priest, you might ask?
Because of sympathetic fellowship?
Oh, yes! Absolutely! And, also, um,
because of the, er, food. Oh, Law, Law,
the FOOD!
Those that serve on our in-reach
committee have lovingly taken upon
themselves to make sure that Paul and
I, both vegetarians, dont even have to
think about going grocery shopping or
preparing a meal, and have delivered to
our doorstep containers of Mediterranean tabouli and Greek salads, scattered
with tomatoes, olives, and chunks of
feta, a freshly made tub of hummus with
roasted red pepper, pita bread, chopped
pineapple and cantaloupe, black bean
salad, not to mention a couple of bottles
of Chardonnay...
...which is my other favorite thing
IM JUST
SAYING
PAM STONE
about being an Episcopalian.
Because I love you Baptists, you know
I do, I just dont know how you make it
through the grief period with sweet tea.
Even a friend of mine, of the afore denomination mentioned, was rather agog
at the bounty stuffed within the confines
of our refrigerator.
I dont even know what any of this
stuff is, she mentioned, pulling back
the Tupperware lid.
Hummus! I replied. You use it as a
dip or spread.
Whats it made of?
Chick peas.
Ohhh.
Would you like some?
Um, no thanks, she said, securing the
lid carefully.
Taking in the tabouli she asked, So
your church brought yall all of this?

I nodded.
I hadnt ever seen some of that, she
mused, then offered, if somebodys
died at our church, we send casseroles.
A whole lot of casseroles. And cake.
Comfort food. I declared.
Her expression brightened as we were
now sharing familiar footing and she
said, Thats right, comfort food: Mac
and cheese, fried chicken, chocolate
cake... Her voice trailed off and then
she said, carefully choosing her words,
Does that hummus comfort?
I leaned against the kitchen island
and crossed my arms and thought for a
minute, then said, I wouldnt say that,
no. Although its really good- I could eat
it every day. But the Chardonnay, now
that comforts. A lot.
We would never carry alcohol over to
somebodys house.
No, I know.
I thought about all that fried chicken
and cake later that evening.
Probably fudge brownies as well, not
to mention heaps of mashed potatoes
and gravy. Because when all is said and
Those that serve on our inreach committee have lovingly

taken upon themselves to make
sure that Paul and I, both

done, nobody does comfort food like the
Baptists.
And nobody steps forward to volunteer for community service like the
Baptists. Regardless of if you agree with
their beliefs, Baptists walk the walk. And
talk the talk. And bake the bake.
But yall, having to drink Tetleys with
my tabouli? Thatd just make me cry.

reat leaders produce other

leaders.John Maxwell
The Lone Ranger had
Tonto. Batman had Robin.
Butch Cassidy had the Sundance Kid. Paul had Silas.
Elisha had Elijah.
The association that Elisha
had with Elijah went beyond
that of a teammate or a friend.
It was a mentoring relationship. Elijah believed in Elisha
and wanted him to succeed as
a prophet. Elijah was willing
to offer himself to Elisha to
assure his success. God had
brought Elijah into Elishas life
to prepare, train, and befriend
him for fulfilling the role of
prophet to the nation of Israel.
The impact of a strong mentor is undeniable.
In 1919 a young man, recovering from injuries suffered
in the European war, rented a
small apartment in Chicago. He
chose this location because it
was near the home of Sherwood Anderson. An author,
Anderson had written the
popular novel Winesburg, Ohio
and was known to be willing to
share his wisdom with young
writers.The two men were
together nearly every day. They
shared meals, took long walks,
and discussed writing until late
into the nights. The young man
wrote passages and asked Anderson to critique them, which
he did with brutal honesty.
The youngster didnt defend
himself or his writing, for, as
he said later, I didnt know
how to write until I learned
from Sherwood. Who is your
mentor? The closeness and accountability of trusted friends
and counselors is critical to
our growth. Mentoring is more
about maturity and integrity
than it is about information
and activity. Elisha had Elijah
as a mentor, who do you have?

Celebrating survivors and

building cancer awareness
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness
Month, and its a great chance to educate and
also make a difference. My goal this month is to
increase awareness and help inform the people
of South Carolina about breast cancer and early
detection.
One of the best ways we can work towards
this goal is sharing the stories of our survivors
and those currently battling the disease, as well
as the memories of those lost. I have been sharing these stories on my Facebook page as part
of our 31 Days of Awareness campaign.
I was inspired to undertake this campaign in
part because of the story of my friend Wendy, a
survivor who has an amazing story to tell.
In 2002, at the age of 33, Wendy visited her
doctor after her boyfriends dog Jake jumped
on her and hit her right breast. She developed
a black and blue bruise and small lump from
the border collies strong leap. Wendys doctor
initially diagnosed her with a blood clot. However, once the bruise disappeared, the lump
had not, so she began to closely monitor it and
eventually got a mammogram. When her results
returned, Wendy discovered that she had breast
cancer.
Cancer, in its early stages, is not always easy
to detect. Wendy was blessed with what she
calls her furry angel named Jake, and was able
to stop a highly aggressive tumor from spreading. My friend is now 48 years old and a 15-year
survivor. Two years ago, I was incredibly honored to give Wendy away at her wedding, one
of those amazing moments you know you will
never forget.
My reason for sharing this story is not only to
share a life-changing story from a breast cancer
survivor who is now flourishing, but to also encourage women to consult with their doctor and
conduct self-assessments and mammograms as
directed. Early detection can save lives, plain
and simple.

According to the National Institute

of Cancer, women in the U.S. have
a 12.5 percent chance of developing
invasive breast cancer during their
lifetime.
Breast Cancer is currently the most common
cancer diagnosed among women. According to
the National Institute of Cancer, women in the
U.S. have a 12.5 percent chance of developing
invasive breast cancer during their lifetime.
Women of color are also more likely to die of
breast cancer due to late detection, according
the American Cancer Society.
It is also important to remember that women
are not the only people who are affected by this
disease. Over years, thousands of men have
been diagnosed with breast cancer. This year,
approximately 2,300 men have been diagnosed
with this cancer. This fact only adds to the importance of spreading awareness and educating
as many people as we can.
Thats why I recently became a cosponsor of
the Accelerating the End of Breast Cancer Act
(S.746), which was sponsored by my good friend
Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA). The bill seeks to
identify, recommend, and promote initiatives,
partnerships, and research that can be turned
into strategies to prevent breast cancer with the
goal of ending the disease by 2020.
I will continue working to spread awareness,
celebrate our countrys survivors, like my friend
Wendy, and remember those we have lost. Let
us all come together to support everyone who is
affected by breast cancer and beat this disease.

ts time for your MLB update.

When we last checked in to
the current state of baseballs postseason, I had made
an executive decision to name
the Texas Rangers my new
favorite team, to temporarily replace the cellar-dwelling
White Sox and Atlanta Braves.
As if on cue, my Texas Rangers blew a two game series lead
to the Toronto Blue Jays to lose
the American League Division
Series. I guess Ill be returning
that Adrian Beltre jersey to the
MLB online shop.
At press time Tuesday evening, the Kansas City Royals
hold a two games to one series
lead over those Toronto Blue
Jays. In the National League,
the New York Mets are up two
games to none on the loveablelosing Chicago Cubs. Those
two teams were set to square
off Tuesday night. Check any
other media source for the
score on that game.
If the Cubs fail to comeback
against the Mets, Major League
Baseball will be left with a ratings bust. After all, Im pretty
sure only 40 people care about
the Mets, and most of those
individuals play for the team.
However, regardless of the
outcomes of the NL and ALCS,
true fans will be left with an
intriguing matchup of some of
baseballs most tortured fan
bases. The Royals, while they
went to the World Series last
year, havent won on baseballs
biggest stage since 1985. The
Mets won the series the very
next year. Toronto won in
1992 and 1993, but prior to
this postseason, they hadnt
been back to the playoffs since,
well, that last World Series win.
Finally, maybe sports greatest
example of futility, baseballs
version of the Washington
Generals (the punching bag and
punch line of the Harlem Globetrotters) the Chicago Cubs.
That ball club has been to the
World Series 12 times in its
existence, but theyve only won
twice and not since 1908. All
this to say that while baseball
executives might grimace at
the thought of another potentially record low in ratings,
baseball fans should relish the
chance to watch two teams
compete that havent sniffed a
World Series title in a very long
time.

Saving
is doing
something
DR: Congrats on beginning college! Im glad, too,

that you understand how
I feel about debt.
But it worries me that
you seem to think that
youre not doing anything
with your money when
you save.
Saving money is one of
the most important things
you can do with your
money, because when you
save youre planning for
the future and the unexpected.
Bad things happen

when people are
foolish enough not
to save money.
Retirement may seem
long way off right now,
but think for a second
how it would feel to have
worked your entire life
only to end up broke at
age 65.
If that thought doesnt
scare you, it should. Have
you ever seen someone
that age, or older, wrangling shopping carts in
the rain or flipping burgers at a fast food joint?
In most cases, its not
because they love the job
and being around people.
Theyre doing it because
they have to, because
they failed to plan for
the future and save some
money.
Lets talk about something a little closer. You
said you agree with my
stance on debt.
Okay, so how are you
going to buy your next
car without going into
debt if you havent saved
anything?
How will you survive if
you get laid off from your
job if you havent saved
any money?
Bad things happen when
people are foolish enough
not to save money.
Saving is doing something with your money.
Its one of the most
important things you
can do with money for
yourself and those around
you!

DAVE
SAYS
Q: I know youre all

about getting out of debt,
and I agree with your
stance on that. I started
college last month, and
scholarships and Pell
Grants will pay for everything. But is saving money
really that important if
youre young and have a
good income? What good
does money do you if you
dont use it for something?

Dark Corner Films recently filmed a few scenes for an upcoming film in downtown Greer.
Dark Corner films movie
Greer Bancshares Incorporated, parent company

of Greer State Bank, reported Tuesday a quarterly net income, attributable
to common shareholders,
of $657,000 or $0.26 per
diluted common share.
Total deposits at the
bank increased to $276
million, up $7.4 million in
the third quarter and up
$30.8 million since Dec.
31, 2014. Total loans outstanding increased to $200
million, up $1 million in
the third quarter and up

$6.5 million since Dec. 31,
2014. Investment gains
totaled $411,000 for the
nine months ended Sept.
30, compared to $874,000
for the same prior year period.
Nonaccrual loans increased from 1.10 percent
to 3.11 percent in the first
quarter due primarily to
the addition of one large
loan, and increased slightly in the second and third
quarters to 3.14 percent.

STAFF WRITER
Mystery and intrigue
have shrouded parts of the
Greer downtown in recent
weeks with the filming of
a supernatural thriller,
Chronology.
Dark Corner Films owner and co-producer of the
movie, Bryan Tankersley,
said Greer was a perfect fit
for some of their scenes.
Theres a scene where
he (Billy Baldwin playing
Mr. Rose) looks across and
sees two people in front
of a diner, Tankersley explained.
Just the size of the
Greer downtown area
where the streets are kind
of close and the old buildings. It gave it the right feel
with that particular scene
where we didnt have to
fake too much. The set up
was just right.
In addition to the Greer
Station Diner, filming also
took place at Carolina
Treasures and Greer Police
Department.
It looked great in there,
Tankersley said. They
have real jail bars. Most
city jails dont have those
anymore.
He said they had not
intended to use the jail
initially, but upon request

Chronology is a supernatural thriller directed by Kipp

Tribble.
that police department
was accommodating.
The use of the jail was
simply happenstance, he
said. Jeff Sumerel (coproducer) walked in and
talked to Lt. Holcombe.
When the film is completed and released, Greer
citizens will likely recognize locales in their own
town. Residents may also
recognize each other;
Tankerlsey said they used
several Greer extras.
All in all, cast members,
film crewmembers and
producers found Greer to
be inviting.
The city was very welcoming and friendly,
Tankersley said. And all
the people around while
we were shooting were
friendly as well.
In addition to Greer,
film crews also took to
the streets of Greenville
as well as Poznan, Poland,
the home of the executive
producers.
Chronology directed
by Kipp Tribble, tells the
mysterious and perplexing story of two men who
swap bodies after significant events intertwine
their lives.
Tankersley
said
he
wasnt sure when the film
would be finished or when
it would released, but he
said they are nearing completion of filming.
CPW warns
of phone scam
Five visits.
Zero surgery.
Infinite hope.
The Greer Commission

of Public Works (CPW) is
warning customers of a
phone scam in the community. The company received several reports over
the weekend of customers
contacted by callers fraudulently representing themselves as CPW employees.
CPW said the callers tell
customers that they are
late on payments and must
pay over the phone or risk
being disconnected from
service. CPW does not contact customers over the
weekend, and they do not
call to ask for personal or
financial information.
CPW advises customers
affected by the scam to
contact CPW during business hours from 8:30 a.m.
to 5 p.m. during the week.
Customers can check their
account at that time and
Treat prostate cancer with CyberKnife at

Gibbs Cancer Center & Research Institute.
they should report any

fraudulent activity to local
law enforcement.
Greer CPW offered the
following fraud prevention tips:
CPW will not call to ask
for payment information.
Do not give out bank account or credit card numbers.
Do not accept offers
from anyone, including
those claiming to be CPW
employees, to pay your
bill or provide any other
service for a fee.
CPW will not call you
to ask for personal information. Never share this
information,
including
birthday, social security
number or bank account
information.
Customers can call CPW
at 848-5500.
CyberKnife Technology treats prostate cancer in fewer visits than

traditional radiation therapies. In just five, 90-minute treatments,
CyberKnife uses high-dose radiation delivered with pinpoint
accuracy to destroy cancers while leaving healthy tissue undamaged.

Aldi, which will also

already has a location in
Taylors.
Rising demand for ALDI
is fueling significant expansion as growing numbers of smart shoppers
are discovering that they
can save time and money
at ALDI without sacrificing quality, Thom Behtz,
vice president of ALDI Jefferson division, said in an
email with The Greer Citizen. ALDI is in the midst
of a five-year expansion,
with plans to open 650 new
stores across the country,
bringing its total number of US stores to nearly
2,000 by the end of 2018.
[We] chose to expand to
the Greer, Greenville and
Spartanburg-area because
of population density,
proximity to competition
and traffic patterns. We
want to be conveniently
based where ALDI shoppers are located.
The Greer store will have
some new features, Behtz
said.
The new stores will also
include high ceilings, better lighting and environmentally friendly building
materials such as energysaving refrigeration and

FROM PAGE ONE
By the end of 2015,

ReWa will have completed
a 20-year comprehensive
basin plan update to address and plan for growth
and development within
ReWas service area, the
release reads. In Taylors, which includes Chick
Springs, there is sufficient
dry weather capacity for
growth; however, during
rain events, contributions
of I&I (inflow and infiltration) from the subdistricts
cause overflows.
Stacey Flax, customer
service/ contract manager
for ReWa said the only
way to permanently fix the
problem is for subdistricts
to remove the inflow and
infiltration from the collection systems.
Samantha Bartow, director of sewer services for
Taylors Fire and Sewer district, was unable to comment on how their subdistrict is working to remove
inflow and infiltration.
In the meantime, ReWa
is working to raise the
manholes.
One of the current
projects that was planned
for this budget year consists of raising manholes
(where the overflows have
been identified as well as
others) and improving hydraulics to help prevent
sewer overflows until the
subdistricts can adhere to
the terms of their agreements, Flax said. Each

According to officials, projects are planned to address

sewer overflows (like the one above) in Taylors.
of the subdistricts, along
with ReWa, are spending
millions of dollars in the
Taylors area to reduce excess I&I from the system
and therefore eliminate
the overflows.
The improvements are
especially needed now,
residents say.
Mary Lynn Bushong
wrote to The Greer Citizen saying a developer is
looking to add residential units to the corner of
Chick Springs Road and
Main Street. She is con-
cerned about the sewage

problem that already exists and what impact the
new development would
have on the existing situation.
Annette is likewise concerned.
They just dont seem
to be wanting to do anything, she said. Im just
afraid theyre going to put
in all those units and make
it worse.

Town Hall harkens

back to basketball days
By Kenneth Collins Maple
Staff writer
Lyman is making changes to town hall, and one
such change is reminding
residents of the buildings
athletic past.
Recently, town clerk
Tammy Redd, clerk of
court Candy Brock and
zoning administrator Matt
Bullard pulled up the carpet in the hallway, revealing the buildings old basketball hardwood floor.
The building was constructed in the 1920s to be
a gymnasium. Back then, it
was called the Community
Building a fitting name
since the community either turned out to watch
games or to play in them.
A lot of emphasis was
put on basketball and
baseball teams, said lifelong resident, Dr. Grady
Brooky Brookes. There
was a baseball league here,
too, as well as a basketball
league. That was a very
important part of your social life was going to the
baseball and basketball
games.
According to various
residents, the Lyman Mill
played competitive basketball during that time. Maurice Hawkins is one such
resident. After graduation
from Byrnes High School
in 1977, he worked for
Duke Energy and played in
the industrial league.
Best I can remember,
I probably played there
at least through the early
80s, Hawkins said.
Hawkins caught the tale
end of the league play in
the building before it became Lyman Town Hall.
Resident Ralph Cramer
remembers moving to Lyman as an 11-year-old boy
in the 1950s. While he
never played league ball,
he remembers that the
Community Building was
in many ways used to entertain Lyman. He recalled
musical performances on
the stage and also places
for table tennis and shuffleboard on the balcony
overhead.
The main event, though,
was basketball.

students are about to enter the busiest week of
their school year, and they
couldnt be more excited
about it.
Spirit week at the high
school runs from Friday,
Oct. 23 to Friday Oct. 30.
In between those dates,
the calendar is packed
with event after event to
raise money for the Barbara Stone Foundation a
non-profit out of Greenville that strives to help
those with disabilities.
Student leaders for Riverside Spirit Week hope
that the dollars of generous individuals will go
towards assisting the
Barbara Stone Foundation to establish a Recreation Exercise Community
Education Social Service
(R.E.C.E.S.S.) program at
the Eastside YMCA, said
Riverside student body
president Lydia Elsey.
We try to fill every

day with something
every hour so were
not wasting time.

Constructed in the 1920s, Lyman Town Hall previously

served as gymnasium.
would even import people
to work in the mills and
play basketball or baseball. Consequently, the
games could be quite competitive.
There were guys there,
you know six-foot-five,
six-foot-six that didnt
play college ball, Hawkins
said. Because even back
in the late 70s you didnt
have a lot of people that
went off to college. Its not
like it is now. They went
to work. They were good
athletes that just never
went to college and probably could have played in
college.
Hawkins also shared that
Lyman seemed to have the
best athletes around, and
the gym helped them take
advantage of their talents.
You had some pretty
good competition there,
he said. Being one of
three mills in the area with
Startex Mill and Lyman
Mill and Jackson Mill, this
was the only mill that had
a gym.
Of course textile basketball was also popular
in other Upstate cities.
Brookes said Greenville,
Spartanburg and Greer all
had textile leagues. And
like those leagues, the
teams faded as the mills
closed.
In the early 80s the
Community Building became Lyman Town Hall.
The shiny hardwood was
replaced with carpet, and

more offices were constructed to accommodate
town employees and the
police department. Today
the building hardly looks
like a place where athletes
practiced their jump shots.
With the removal of the
carpet, though, theres at
least some evidence to the
buildings past. Redd said
they will eventually remove the carpet from the
courtroom. On Tuesday,
workers labored to paint
some of the office space.
Brock said they would
eventually replace some of
the doors and that where
there is no hardwood, the
town would put down tile.
Outside the building, Tony
Wyatt, mayor pro-tem,
said they would be replacing the sign in the front of
town hall.
Were just trying to
spruce it up, get things
more organized, make the
best use of the building,
Wyatt said. Also in doing
so we can sort of reach
back and touch a little bit
of our history like with
the exposed floor. At the
same well reconnect with
our past.
When asked if Wyatt
would be coaching the
five-person council in basketball anytime soon, he
laughed and said, Probably not in the near future.
She said they hope to

raise between $70,000 and
$80,000 for this effort. In
order for that to happen,
students recognize the
need for community generosity and hard work.
Student advisor Dan
Tollison says they have indeed worked very hard.
They have set their
goals very high, and have
already worked hundreds
of hours to make this the
best spirit week we have
ever had, he said.
Some of the events
scheduled for the week
include a color run 5K on
Saturday, a Sadie Hawkins

Riverside spirit week events planned for next week include

a festival, color run and hypnotist show. Student body
leaders are hoping to raise over $70,000 for the Barbara
Stone Foundation.
dance on Sunday night,
Tribe Fest on Tuesday and
even a hypnotist show on
Wednesday.
We try to fill every day
with something every hour
so were not wasting time,
said Natalie Sprinkle, senior class president.
With a bevy of events
scheduled, the senior class
hopes to make this years
spirit week more successful than in previous years.
Its almost like a challenge to see what the seniors that year are doing
and then (think), How
can I make it even better?
Elsey said.
Riversides Logan Young,
the South Carolina association of student councils
president, said they can
make it better through
more community outreach. This year all events
are open to the public and
some are geared specifically to the public, meaning more people will hear
of the schools mission to
help the foundation.
Young, Elsey, Sprinkles
and student body vice
president Mary Varughese
all spoke to how theyve
made Spirit Week into
a friendly competition
amongst themselves. But
it seems that the effects
of their efforts extend
beyond the Greer and
Taylors area. Through
time spent with school in
other parts of the state,
Riverside students say
they have inspired other
schools to have their own
spirit weeks.
We raise so much money trying to give back to the
community, so much, and
it really kind of inspires
schools from all over the
state to give back, Young
said about students in all
Greenville County schools
who contribute to their respective spirit weeks.
The exact amount raised
will be revealed on Friday,
Oct. 30 when the football
team squares off against
Wade Hampton.

schools scheduled events,

Barbara Stone Foundation
can give during events or

Due to flood
delays
The South Carolina High
School League recently announced several adjustments to its fall sports
calendar, including new
football, volleyball and
tennis
championship
dates.
The changes come on
the heels of the devastating flood that rocked
much of the state, canceling numerous school days
and sporting events over
the last two weeks.
An extra week has been
added to the football, volleyball and girls tennis
schedules to accommodate any make-up games
that may be needed.
I wish to sincerely
thank our member schools
for the long hours and
hard work over the past
two weeks while reviewing options, said Jerome
Singleton, SCHSL Commissioner. Continued inclement weather created even
more obstacles which prevented our regions from
scheduling a feasible new
schedule. Therefore, with
the support of the Executive Committee, the 201516 fall sports season has a
one week extension. Grace
under fire comes to mind
when I read about our
student athletes during
this stressful time. They
have performed a stellar
amount of community service projects, going above
and beyond expectations
to assist their fellow South
Carolinians. They are a
shining example of sportsSEE PLAYOFFS | B6
The Jackets held off a relentless Chapman comeback to seal their eighth win of the year last Friday night on the road.
Greer holds on for win

Remains
unbeaten
BY LELAND BURCH
FOR THE GREER CITIZEN
The first half was pretty, but the second half
was ugly, reflected Greer
defensive
coordinator
Travis Perry afterwards.
When the game got really
tough, however, the Yellow Jackets got going with
a 16-play, 96-yard scoring
drive to salt away a 35-21
victory at Chapman on Friday night.
That drive was a great
way to end the game, said
Head Coach Will Young of
the march that ran 8:40
off the clock. Besides,
we needed to get our defense off the field. Young
added, it was good to see

how our kids reacted to
being tested. We are going to get tested down the
road, and we havent been
in a while.
Before nailing down
their eighth straight win,
the unbeaten Yellow Jackets suffered some uncharacteristic moments. An
interception derailed a
first half drive in the red
zone, two second-half
fumbles opened the gates
for Chapman touchdowns
and a rash of penalties
created setbacks, among
them a touchdown that
was nullified.
After a holding penalty

at Chapmans 34-yard
line, the Yellow Jackets

combination clicked again

few minutes later as Greer
went up 14-0.
When the host Panthers
failed to convert a fake
field goal at the Greer

the opposite end of the
field on Cusanos 66-yard

later, however, Chapman
defender Shaundre Miller
picked off a Cusano aerial
to end the threat.

Blue Ridge couldnt hang on to what would have been a big win over Southside last Friday
night on the road. The Tigers now face Chapman with just two games remaining.
Blue Ridge stumbles late

during heartbreaker
Tigers fall
on the
road, 20-14
BY BILLY CANNADA
SPORTS EDITOR
The Tigers have established a troubling trend
this season: turning the
ball over during crucial
moments in the game.
That trend bit the Tigers
yet again last Friday night,
as Blue Ridge threw three
red zone interceptions en
route to a 20-14 loss to
Southside on the road.
Its
heartbreaking,
Clark said. Especially after how hard these kids
played. Its very easy for
them to feel like hanging
it up. They want to right
now, but they havent

done it. We hope they
continue to fight like they
have been.
Blue Ridge led for most
of the second half, but it
was Southside that scored
the go-ahead touchdown
with just a few ticks remaining on the game clock
to improve to 7-1 on the
year.
The Tigers captured
momentum early, as Jake
Smith hit Sonny Stevens to
knot the game up at 7-7 in
the second quarter.
Our
guys
actually
played pretty well, especially defensively, Clark
said. Neither team could
get anything going in the
first quarter, but we came
right back with a good
drive in the second quarter. We were going to take
the lead, but we threw an
interception from the 10
yard line, making it 7-7 at

the half.
Unfortunately for Clark,
that wouldnt be the only
time his team would give
away points in the red
zone.
Smith found Jason Sammons in the third quarter
to put Blue Ridge on top
14-7, and the Tiger defense held strong for the
next couple of series. But
Blue Ridge was unable to
hold off Southside after a
few costly penalties.
We had three really
mysterious pass interference penalties that aided a
couple of drives for them,
Clark said.
Blue Ridge gave up a
second half touchdown,
but Southside missed the
extra point, allowing Blue
Ridge to hang onto a 14-13
lead. A few minutes later,

After a quick, two-game

skid, Eastside quarterback
T.J. Gist got his team back
on track, tossing three
touchdown passes during
the Eagles 41-13 win over
Berea last Friday night.
The Eagles are now 3-2
in region play, with two
games remaining on the
regular season schedule.
It wasnt smooth sailing
early, however. The Eagles
gave up a quick score after
turning the ball over, falling behind 6-0.
We started the game
very slow, head coach
Steve Wilson said. We
fumbled the ball the first
three times we had it. I
just dont think we were

mentally ready to play,
for whatever reason. Fortunately,
our
defense
managed to come in and
stopped them, so we only
went in the hole six points
instead of 21.
Gist answered at the end
of the first quarter, hitting
Tyius Lewis with a nearly
80-yard touchdown pass
to put his team on top 76.
From there, Eastside did
not look back.
We finally got our act
together in the second
quarter and started playing pretty well, Wilson
said. We were able to put
41 points on the board after that, so it was a good
night for us.
In addition to Gists success through the air, Jovani Lawton and Chance
Pride each rushed for a
touchdown in the win.
The victory, Wilson said,
puts his team one step

omethings happening to me and I cant

explain what it is.
Apparently, Im just
a bad sports fan. This
comes as a shock to me,
as Ive spent the better
half of my life honing my
sports knowledge and
watching countless hours
of games. But during a
recent conversation with
my non-sports-fan wife,
I realized that Im slipping.big time.
Let me set the scene.
Were channel surfing--not
an uncommon occurrence at my house just
before bedtimewhen we
stumble upon what appears to be game three of
the ALCS.
I say it appears to be
game three of the ALCS
because the two teams
that are playing are the
Toronto Blue Jays and the
Kansas City Royals. Now,
Im not claiming to be a
student of Major League
Baseballor even pay that
much attention to it, for
that matter.
But I am a sports fan,
and I like to be able to
hold my own in sportsrelated conversations. But
right now, Im as clueless
as my wife, who would
always rather be watching
HGTV than anything on
ESPN.
Whos playing? Shannon asked.
Apparently the Blue
Jays and Royals, I
responded, ashamed I
didnt know more.
At this point, this is
the longest my television
has remained tuned in to
a Major League Baseball
game since we bought the
thing.
Baseball is still going
on? she asked.
Guess so, I said, trying to recall which teams
are remaining in the MLB
playoffs.
I think I remember hearing something about the
CubsMy New York dad
is super excited about the
Mets, so that must mean
theyre still in it.
Are these not the four
least-likely teams to be
involved in the playoffs?
I asked myself. When I
stopped watching baseball, people were talking about the Giants,
Yankees, Red Sox and Cardinals. Guess times are
changinggood for you,
underdogs.
My lazy fandom doesnt
stop at baseball, however.
On Monday night, I found
myself tuning into the
Giants/Eagles game, not
because I loved Monday Night Football, but
because I had one fantasy
player left to play and
they were going to show
the new Star Wars trailer
at halftime.
I actually have no
shame in saying Star Wars
was more interesting to
me than football. I grew
up on Star Wars. Ive seen
the trilogy more times
than I can count, and even
though it was painful,
Ive watched the terrible
prequels multiple times
as well.
Back to sportsIm
starting to understand
what life has been like for
Shannon all these years.
Seeing that I know nothing about Blue Jays and
Royals, other than the color of their jerseys (Blue
Jays are blue right?...Im
guessing the Royals are
blue too? It is right there
in the name) gives me an
idea of what my wife has
been going through.
But Im not going to
start caring about baseball now.
Our television stayed
on that game for two
minutes, until the unbearable boredom that is MLB
seemed to set in.
Wanna watch HGTV?
I asked.
Here lies Billy, a man
who traded in his sports
fandom for an episode of
Property Brothers.

Rebels explode in first quarter

Cruise to
win over
Mann
BY BILLY CANNADA
SPORTS EDITOR
Byrnes quarterback Micah Young put up video
game numbers during the
first half of the Rebels
homecoming
matchup
with J.L. Mann last Friday
night.
Young threw for more
than 380 yards, totaling
seven touchdowns in just
24 minutes of play.
Head coach Brian Lane
said his team was simply
clicking on all cylinders
from the start.
Micah got off to a hot
start, Lane said. To score
42 points in the first quarter, I dont know if Ive
ever done that as a coach.
But they got it done and
jumped right on them.
Byrnes exploded to take
a 42-0 lead as Young found
wide receivers Chavis
Dawkins (twice), Demarcus Gregory (twice) and
Bouvier Howard (once) five
times in the end zone, giving his team an unmistakable lead. After a 10-yard
touchdown rush from
DreQuez Mayes, Byrnes
went into the second quarter with quite a cushion.
BILLY CANNADA | THE GREER CITIZEN
Jaylan Foster caught a touchdown pass during Byrnes 56-7 thrashing of J.L. Mann last
Friday at Nixon Field.
The defense was locked
in all night, and thats
what you want, Lane said.
They came out playing
hard and maintained it the
whole game.
Young found Dawkins
and Jaylan Foster on
touchdown routes to cap
the Rebel scoring in the
first half. The advantage
gave Byrnes a chance to
play some of its second
string players who havent
seen as much time this
season.
With this eight quarter
rule, were handcuffed
when it comes to getting
guys reps, Lane said. Being able to allow guys to
play and get reps is going
to be valuable for their
learning experience, maybe not this year, but for
next year.
Lane said he was impressed by the play of
Gregory, who is only a
sophomore.
At Byrnes, we pride
ourselves in growing guys.
If you come up in this
system, eventually youre
going to make plays somewhere, somehow, Lane
said. (Gregory) has just
been working really hard
and
hes
blossoming.
Thats what you look for
in a young guy. We know
were going to get a couple
of good years out of him.

Greer hosts Southside at Dooley

BY LELAND BURCH
FOR THE GREER CITIZEN
Greers hopes for late
season challenges will be
fulfilled again this Friday
night when the Southside
Tigers arrive at Dooley
Field for a 7:30 p.m. clash.
Coach Will Young wants
his unbeaten Yellow Jackets to be well-tested heading into the playoffs next
month, and Southside will
provide a different type
of exam, following on the
heels of an anxious second half at Chapman last
week.
They have the most
athletic team we will have
played since Union, says
Young of the Tigers who
are enjoying their best
season in decades. At 7-1
overall Southside has the
chance to wrestle the regular season Peach Blossom
3-A title away from Greer
with a win. But we are not
focused on the region race
right now, we only want
to win this game, Young
insists.
Southsides only loss
was to Emerald in an early
region contest, but they
are playing good football
right now, Young relates.
The Tigers, fresh from
downing Blue Ridge last
week, are led by Jawun
Prince, the son of Coach
Julius Prince and a three-

year starter at quarterback. Prince is a good
one, says Young, of the
operator of Southsides
spread offense. He has
some really good receivers, like Union, especially
Cam Wrice and Neje Washington.
He said the Tigers also
have a kid who can really
run in Quavian White. He
reminds me of Quez Nesbitt.
Defensively the Tigers
operate out of a 3-3 base,
but frequently shift to
confuse opposing offens-
BYRNES FUNDRAISER
GREER HIGH
Yellow Jackets
es. They often wind up

in a four-man front, using
the same players. The defensive line is smaller and
quicker than most teams,
and they are very athletic at linebacker and the
secondary. Shrine Bowl
bound Jeremiah Ferguson
is their best linebacker,
he added.
Although Greer will
battle archrival Blue Ridge
next week, Young said, I
dont think our kids will
be looking ahead. Friday is
Senior Night, and that is a
really big deal for us.
The Yellow Jackets could

continue to miss three
senior starters sidelined
with injuries. Center Noah
Blosser may be cleared to
return this week, while defensive tackle Jordan Hawthorne is expected to sit
out again with a torn meniscus. I think Jordan will
be back next week if he
can play through the pain,
but hell probably have
to undergo surgery later
on, Young said. Offensive
linemen Noah Hannon and
Tyrek Donaldson will be
used in spots to shore up
the defensive line. Wide
receiver Zach Glidden is
out for the season with a
knee injury.
Young said the Yellow
Jackets would be working to correct some issues
that arose at Chapman. He
said the Panthers defense
tried to force everything
inside by pinching in and
sending linemen through
the inside gaps. We hadnt
seen that before, but our
kids did a good job of
overcoming it by bouncing
the ball outside. You have
to give Chapman credit,
but we just had too many
weapons.
We also will continue
trying to polish up some
new wrinkles that we
havent used yet, he concluded.

It was another tough

The Warriors fell to
Mauldin last Thursday
night 49-14, giving up 42
points in the first half
against a team that is now
3-1 in region competition.
Mauldin wasted no time
getting started, scoring on
a 28-yard pass from Dre
Harris to Hunter Dawsey
with just over eight minutes remaining in the first
quarter. Jason Labrador
extended the Mauldin lead
with a 1-yard touchdown
run and Harris found
Dawsey again with under
four minutes remaining to
put his team on top 21-0.
The Warriors, however,
opened the second quarter with a bang, as Aaron
Odom found Braxton Collins on a 72-yard strike
with only 11 seconds expiring off the game clock.
That momentum wouldnt
last, as Mauldin piled on
three more scores, leading
Riverside dropped to 0-8.
42-7 at the half.

Riversides final score
came in the fourth quarter
as Robert Wang found the
end zone on a three-yard
rush with just over four
minutes remaining.

A SPORTING VIEW
BY MARK VASTO
ts Tuesday, and everything I think I know to

be right in the world is
wrong.
The Broncos are 5-0
but all Denver fans think
Peyton Manning is a bad
quarterback. His numbers are slipping, they
cry, but for the past three
seasons he has been 19-1
through five starts.
In South Carolina, Mannings old nemesis, the
ball coach named Steve
Spurrier, has resigned.
Faced with his first losing
season since he coached
the professional football
team from Washington,
Spurrier just decides to
bail. Its not something
that should have taken
anyone by surprise. Spurrier has been slipping of
late. What kind of coach
tells people during the

off-season that he plans
on coaching another
two to three years? The
kind of coach who isnt
interested in his recruits,
thats who. Who would
want to play for Spurrier
when by their senior or
junior year hes off to go
fishing? The ones who got
suckered into seeing him
leave them as a freshman,
thats who.
The Jets have the
second-best defense in
the NFL. Saying the word
best and Jets in the
same sentence is hard to
fathom, but the numbers
dont lie.
Tom Bradys guru
doctor is found to not
be a doctor at all. How
does that happen? Thats
almost as bad as Hillary with the e-mails. In
the same way you would
think that the presidents
staffers would have

noticed that they all had
.gov email accounts, you
would think the Patriots
would be on the lookout
for an M.D. credential at
the end of the doctors
name. It would just seem
to make better sense.
Whats next? Manny Pacquiao wanting a rematch
with Floyd Mayweather?
Yes, turns out he did say
that yesterday. Because
thats something we all
want to see. Mayweather
just made $300 million
for a fight that nobody
wanted to watch in September. A rematch of a
dud fight. Thats what we
have to look forward to?
Next youll tell me that
the Cubs will beat the Cardinals to advance to the
NL Championship Series.
On second thought, dont.
Ive heard enough for one
day.

Rebels take on Mauldin

BY BILLY CANNADA
SPORTS EDITOR
Coming off two blowout
wins, Byrnes is getting set
to take on a Mauldin team
that has surprised region
opponents this season.
The Mavericks are 5-3
heading into the contest
with a 3-1 record in the
conference. Mauldins only
loss in region play came to
Dorman on Oct. 2.
Theyll give you multiple looks offensively,
Byrnes coach Brian Lane
said. Theyve got a really
good quarterback. He runs
the ball well and throws it
when he needs to. Hes a
very athletic kid.
The Mavericks will also

present multiple looks on

defense, Lane said.
Theyre very sound on
defense, he said. Theyll
line up in some four-man
fronts and some threeman fronts. Theyll run
some man, theyll play
some zone and they will
roll coverages. Theyre
just very sound.
Lane said his team wont
be tempted to look ahead
to a matchup with its rival,
Dorman on Oct. 30.
We take it a week at a
time, Lane said. Im not
even thinking about Dorman right now because
Mauldin is a good football
team. Mauldin almost beat
Dorman. They had them
down 17-7 with six minutes left in the game and
Dorman came back to beat

them, so we definitely have
to stay focused. Were not
looking forward.
With only one blemish
on their schedule, the Rebels are aiming to wrap up
the regular season with a
top seed in the state playoffs.
We have to continue
to grow together as a
teamsspecial teams, offense and defense, he
said. We have to understand that were a unit and
we pick each other up. If
the defense isnt getting
it done, the offense has to
pick it up, and vice versa.
I just want to see us grow
as a team.

Costly mistakes have

taken Blue Ridge out of

dont expect the Tigers to

Head coach Shane Clark
said his guys want to
make a statement during
their final two games of
the regular season, but its
going to mean knocking
off two of the regions top
contenders.
If you look back at our
schedule, we really dont
feel like weve been blown

said of his 2-6 squad.
Four of these games have
been decided by six points
or less. Its just been a

every week.

Despite his teams record, Clark said it is unlikely Chapman or Greer,

as an easy win.
Since Ive been at Blue

Clark said looking ahead

They do a pretty good

Clark said. Theres always

about who our opponent

Eagles to square off

with Travelers Rest Friday
BY BILLY CANNADA
SPORTS EDITOR
The Eagles know now is
not the time for a slip up
as they get set to take on
Travelers Rest this Friday
at home.
Eastside has worked its
way to a 3-2 region record
so far, knocking off Berea
41-13 last weekend. The
Devildogs, however, have
seen plenty of improvement this season as well,
and currently sit at 4-4 on
the year.
Theyre obviously a
much improved team also
in our region, Eastside
coach Steve Wilson said of
the Devildogs. Were putting all of our focus and
attention on those guys.

Theyre a good, solid football team, but at this point
in the year, our guys are
starting to believe theyre
a pretty good, solid football team as well.
Eastside hit a slight
bump in the road after
losing to Greer, falling to
Southside the following
week. The Eagles had won
three straight leading up
to the matchup with the
Yellow Jackets.
It was a good feeling for
us to get back to winning
football games, Wilson
said. We really felt like
wed given one away playing Southside because we
had 510 yards off offense
and they only had 250.
That was one we shouldnt

have lost, so we were glad
to be able to stay in contention in our region.
Remaining on the schedule for Eastside are Travelers Rest and Emerald.
If we can play these
last two really well, were
still right in the thick of
things, Wilson said. That
would be the first time
(making the playoffs) for
Eastside in a very, very
long time.
Wilson expects the game
to come down to the wire.
It will be another tough,
hard-nosed night for us,
he said. It will probably
come down to the fourth
quarter like most of our
games have.

Busch outduels Kenseth for XFINITY win

BY REID SPENCER
NASCAR WIRE
Overcoming obstacles in
the XFINITY Series is commonplace for Kyle Busch.
In Saturdays Kansas
Lottery 300 at Kansas
Speedway, Busch brushed
aside a pit road speeding penalty, a hole in the
nose of his No. 54 Toyota,
a pit stop that dropped
him to seventh for the
penultimate restart, an
unwelcome green-whitecheckered-flag restart and
a teammate who had the
fastest car for much of the
afternoon.
The end result was
Buschs 75th XFINITY Series victory, extending his
own record. Busch won
for third time at Kansas
and for the fifth time in 20
starts this season.
The race also saw Chris
Buescher add one point to
his series lead over Chase
Elliott. Though both drivers had issues Elliott a
wreck during qualifying
that sent him to a backup
car and the back of the
field; and Buescher a pit
road speeding penalty
Buescher won a drag
race to the stripe to come
home sixth to Elliotts seventh and leads the standings by 27 points over the
defending champion.
But the final 43 laps of
the event were vintage

into second place in a single lap. For the next 28 circuits he harried teammate
and eventual runner-up
Matt Kenseth before clearing his Joe Gibbs Racing
teammate through Turn 4
on Lap 185.
Busch survived a greenwhite-checkered after Joey
Gases engine blew and

oiled the 1.5-mile track
with five laps left. Picking
the outside lane, Busch
cleared Kenseth entering
the first turn and pulled
away to win by .607 seconds.
I wasnt sure we had
enough for that 20 car
(Kenseth) today, but there

at the end of the race, the
track was cooling down
and certainly getting freer
and it looked like Kenseth
just was too loose, Busch
said. And I was able to really get the gas down and
drive real hard and had a
good car to stick through
the corner.
This Monster Energy
Camry was awesome,
(crew chief) Chris Gayle
and the guys did a fantastic job for me in getting me
a really good piece there at
the end to be able to battle
with Matt, and its cool to
end up in Victory Lane any
day I wasnt sure how I

was going to get the pass
done, but fortunately, finally there I was able to
do it.
Kenseth suffered a loose
handling condition late in
the race and couldnt keep
Busch behind him.
Its frustrating to get
beat again, said Kenseth,
who has finished second
in each of his last four
XFINITY Series starts. We
were out front in Chicago
and had the better car, but
second is the (next) best
place to finish, I guess.
Kind of aggravating
when you get beat, but we
were too free at the end.
I didnt give Wheels (crew
chief Mike Wheeler) good
enough information on
the tires. I did everything
I could to hold off Kyle
except for wrecking. Just
couldnt do it.
Joey Logano finished
third, followed by fourthplace Ty Dillon and fifthplace Regan Smith.
Busch would like nothing better than to duplicate his victory in Sundays Hollywood Casino
400 NASCAR Sprint Cup
Series at Kansas (2:15 p.m.
ET on NBC). After a 20thplace finish last Sunday at
Charlotte in the first race
of the Chases Contender
Round, Busch could earn
a spot in the Eliminator
8 Round with the ninth
XFINITY/Sprint Cup weekend sweep of his career
(including his three-series
sweep at Bristol in 2010).

BY REID SPENCER
NASCAR WIRE
Block me once, and Ill
cut you some slack.
Block me twice and
its Gotcha.
That, in essence, was
the conversation on Joey
Loganos team radio after
Logano spun race leader
Matt Kenseth in Turn 1
with less than five laps left
in the Hollywood Casino
400 at Kansas Speedway.
Logano went on to win
the race after a greenwhite-checkered-flag restart that sent the race two
laps past its scheduled
distance of 267 laps. The
driver of the No. 22 Team
Penske Ford has monopolized the Contender Round
of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, having
won back-to-back races at
Charlotte and Kansas.
The victory was Loganos second at the 1.5-mile
track the first coming
in last years Chase his
fifth of the season and the
13th of his career. But it
may have come at the expense of the title hopes of
the driver who replaced
him in the No. 20 Joe Gibbs
Racing Toyota.
He finished .491 seconds ahead of runner-up
Denny Hamlin, who held
off Jimmie Johnson at the
stripe to take the second
spot. Johnson ran third,
followed by Kasey Kahne
and Kyle Busch.
Desperately
needing
a victory to revive his
chances to make the cut
for the Chases Eliminator 8 Round, Kenseth had
grabbed the lead from
Jimmie Johnson after a restart on Lap 248. Using all
his skills to keep the faster
car of Logano behind him,

Turn 1, but a tap from
Loganos Ford sent the No.
20 Camry spinning.
Kenseth kept his car off
the wall and finished 14th,
but the result was far more
costly than a mere 13 positions. After finishing 42nd
at Charlotte a week earlier, Kenseth could have
salvaged his season with
a victory and a guaranteed
entry into the Eliminator 8
Round.
Now Kenseth, who is
35 points out of the final
transfer position (eighth
place) likely must win at
Talladega to advance.
Understandably upset
by the outcome, Kenseth
had a clear-cut view of the
incident.
It was really cut and
dry, Kenseth said. He
(Logano) picked my rear
tires off the ground and
wrecked me, so theres no
debate about that one
He was a little bit tighter
on that short run than I
was, and I couldnt get
away from him.

pretty good. I still thought
I was going to be able to
stay in front of him and
saw those lapped cars
coming and tried getting
a couple runs off the top
there and I was plenty
clear, got up in front of
him and he just decided to
take us out.
To Logano, it was merely
a case of aggressive racing on the part of both
drivers. As Logano pursued Kenseth during the
decisive run, Logano was
squeezed into the outside
wall, scraping the right
side of his car.
It was good, hard racing, Logano said. We
were racing each other really hard, and I got in the

Asked
whether

Hey, Ive got to race hard.
I got in the fence twice, so
I wasnt going to put up

Ashton Heards school

Hughes tied the career

sprinted out of the game
in the first quarter as
Heard took the first play

Ben Kramm would tack
on an NGU field goal later
in the quarter to make
the score 9-0 before the
Pioneers finally found pay
dirt. Cameron Thomas
would put Tusculum on

interception return to cut
NGUs lead to two. The interception broke Hughes
streak of 150 pass attempts without an interception while making the
score 9-7.
Ashton Heard would

of the season, extending

field goal to make the

North Greenville. The Tusculum field goal was the
first points of the second
half and came with 12:05
left in the third quarter.
North Greenville would

Kings Kara Garrett scored
off a corner kick in the
first minute and put the
Tornado ahead 1-0. The
Crusaders equalized in
the 10th minute off a goal
from Sarah Singh, her first
of the season. After allowing the first goal, King
took over for the remainder of the first half, grabbing the lead in the 16th
minute behind a goal from
Lindsay Curtis off a set
piece. The Tornado would
add one more before the
end of the half on a penalty kick. Hulda Sigurdardottir put it past Crusader
keeper Madelynn Schober
to make the score 3-1.
King opened the second half in the same style
as the first and won another penalty kick in the
47th minute. This time it
was Catherine Walsh who
stepped up to the spot
and put it past Schober to
make it 4-1.
North Greenville steadied the ship after conceding its second penalty

Greer made it 28-0 at

intermission after a short
Chapman punt. Cusano
found Adrian Lindsey
streaking down the sideline on a 40-yard touchdown bomb with 1:24 remaining in the first half.
With the game seemingly
out of hand, the Panthers
treated a large Homecoming crowd to a second half
show.
Chapman took the third
quarter kickoff and drove
80 yards to score. A key
play was a fourth down
penalty that gave the Panthers a first down at their
own 34-yard line. Bailey
later delivered a 40-yard
touchdown pass to Richard Tucker, and Carlos
Montalvo-Coralles booted
the extra point.
The Yellow Jackets proceeded to suffer a couple
of disastrous turnovers
that let the Panthers back
in the game.
After Cameron Kelley
returned the kickoff into
Panther territory, Lindsey
fumbled in the wildcat
formation, and McArthur
Scott recovered for Chapman at the hosts 32-yard
line.
Although Greer forced a
punt, Cusano fumbled on
the next play from scrimmage, and Miller recovered at the Yellow Jackets
32-yard line. Chapman
needed just four plays to
score with Bailey getting
the points on an 11 yard
run that cut Greers lead
in half, 28-14, with 4:37
remaining in the third period.
Its our job to stop them
no matter where they get
the ball, Perry said of the
Yellow Jackets defense.
But we had some poor
tackling, and I think we
need to settle down and
keep our composure.
The Panthers tightened
the game even more after
stopping Greer on downs
at their own 34-yard line.
Bailey engineered a 66yard scoring drive, including several key scrambling
gains, a 25-yard pass to
Tucker to put the ball in
the red zone, and then a
five-yard scoring pass to
Tim Beach.
MOST IMPRESSIVE
DRIVE YET
Although leading 2821 with 10:10 left in the

game, the Yellow Jackets
had their backs to the wall
when Lindsey fumbled
the ensuing kickoff out
of bounds at Greers fouryard line. Thats when the
team mounted its most
impressive drive of the
Greer jumped on top of Chapman in the first half, only to

see its lead vanish in the final two quarters.
season. McGee, who got
some long awaited blocking up front, powered the
ball out to the 23-yard line
in four carries. Cusano
later delivered a 22-yard
pass to Lindsey, but a
holding penalty nullified a
40-yard touchdown carry
by McGee.
No matter.
Cusano and Lindsey
hooked up for a 19-yard
pass to the Panthers 15yard line, and McGee took
the ball the rest of the way,
scoring on a one-yard blast
with 2:30 left to play.
You have to give Chapman credit, Young said.
They have a good team.
Theyre well coached and
played hard. But we really
stopped ourselves most of
the time with turnovers
and mistakes. You cant
give the other team the
ball in the red zone and
expect them not to do anything with it.
The Yellow Jackets had
one of their most productive offensive outings of
the season, piling up 501
total yards for 21 first
downs. Greer rushed for
302 yards with Cusano
leading the way, gaining
151 yards on 16 carries.
McGee added 142 yards
on 20 rushes. Cusano
completed 15 of 23 passes

Chapman dented Greers

We just had some key

in the game. You cant do
that against good teams,
he said.
Theres several guys
out there that this is their
first go-around with varsity football, Clark said.
Theyve been thrown into
the fire. We knew that going in, but we hoped that
the maturity would come
a little faster than it has.
Weve been in some tough

situationstrying to come
from behind and things
like thatso its just been
difficult.

closer to its ultimate goal.

[Making the playoffs]
would just have really
good ramifications for
us, he said. The seniors
here have never even been
close to getting into the
playoffs, so it would be a
new experience for them.
We really have inherited
some good seniors that
havent had any success,
so I would love to see this
happen for them.
Wilson hopes this years
turnaround will have a
positive impact for the
long-term success of the
football program.
I hope were starting
to set a precedent around
here for winning football
games, he said. Hopefully, thats going to infiltrate our younger kids in
our other programs and
well have more kids coming out for football. This
season means a lot for our
football program.

Olde Tyme Farm Day returns Saturday

To Gail and Vic Campbells Log Cabin Farm
BY BILLY CANNADA
EDITOR
For Gail and Vic Campbell, October is about
taking a horse-drawn trip
down memory laneback
to a time when life was
simpler and things were
made by hand.
Thats why the couple is
bringing back Olde Tyme
Farm Day, an event that
began in the 1980s, for another year.
The best thing is seeing people who are still
interested in doing things
by handthe way our
parents and grandparents
did them, Vic said. The
camaraderie (at farm day)
is great, Vic said. People
have been so willing to
help and give their own
time. Theyve really just
jumped in here to help
year after year.
The event is held each
year at Log Cabin Farm.
This years Olde Tyme
Farm Day will take place
on Saturday, Oct. 24, from
9 a.m.-4 p.m.

interested in it, Vic said.

My wife (Gail) wanted to
do it again this year, so I
didnt argue.
The event has been
around since 1984 when
Vic accepted his friend,
Hayden Kemps, challenge
to use his molasses mill

with the farms Brabant
draft horses.
He was my best friend
and just a great ol guy,
Vic recalled. He pestered
me about making molasses for about three years
Vic Campbell is getting set to open his farm for Olde Tyme Farm Day on Saturday
from 9 a.m.-4 p.m.
and we finally did it.
Campbell grew the sorghum, cut and stripped the
cane and put the horses to
work. Friends and family came to help with the
process, and friend Evelyn
Allen prepared breakfast
over a cookstove for the
volunteer.
People just had a fit
over it and they came in
to help us, Vic said. One
thing led to another and it
just gradually expanded.
Next thing you know, we
got this farm day started.
For the last five years
or so, weve drawn about
2,500 people all because
Hayden Kemp wanted to
make molasses, he said
Among the activities will

be antique displays, an apple cider press, spinning
and felting, blacksmithing,
and childrens crafts. Visitors can also enjoy bluegrass music, sample old
style cooking and tour the
Amish barn.
The horse-drawn mill
is still going on. Well
have a horse-drawn plowing demonstration in our
garden, Vic said. Well
have all kinds of displays
all over the farm and its
hard to say which is the
one most people appreciate. Its probably still the
molasses making.
Vic and Gail have had
plenty of help organizing
this years event, much of

it coming from Theresa
Land.
Theres just a lot of
work and a lot of effort
that they put into it, Land
said. Its amazing how
much goes into it, but we
enjoy it. The people that
cometheyre the ones
that keep asking, are you
going to have farm day
again?

Welch takes on life after death in new book

BY BILLY CANNADA
EDITOR
Who would your wife
want you to marry after
she passes away?
Thats
the
question
Greers Nancy Turner
Welch explores in her new
fiction book, Alices List,
recently released online
and in local stores.
Welch describes her 93page work as a clever way
to look at life after you
lose a spouse.
Its kind of a humorous
way of treating a rather
serious subject, she said.
I think, so often, men and
women feel so guilty after
a spouse dies. They think,
why did that person die
instead of me? Theres
this turmoil there and you
think, I shouldnt enjoy
the rest of my life because

Im the one that got to
live.
But there is life afterward, and in the book,
my character Ed receives
a wonderful gift from his
wife, Alice.
That gift is a list of five
women Alice approves
of Ed settling down with
after shes gone. In the
book, Ed explores what a
relationship with each of
these women would look
like and his wifes reasoning for choosing them.
I really think its a chick
book, Welch said with a
smile. It was fun to write.
There was a character
in my minda woman
who had been widowed
a long time. Through the
years, she had collected
cats, so I sort of refer to
Nancy Turner Welch signs a copy of her book during a

reading last week in downtown Greer.
Its kind of a
humorous way of
treating a rather
serious subject.
Nancy Welch
Author
her as a cat woman, she

said. Ed is not much on
cats, so theres a little bit
of conflict when he goes
to visit her and tries to
figure out how he would
fit in to that household.
Theres another woman
who hasnt been so lucky
in love. She had a not-veryfaithful husband and shes
just kind of down. This
book really runs through
the gamut of all the kinds
of women you might run
into if you were 58 years
old trying to find someone
who is a widow.
Welch has had plenty of
writing experience in the
past, but she traditionally
sticks to non-fiction.
Ive been writing for
years, Welch said. Ive
written
several
other
books, but never a fiction
book. Id only ever written
true stories.
Welch learned the basics
of fiction writing through
a class at Furman University.
The instructor said, if
youve never written fic-
Alices List is Nancy Welchs first non-fiction work, and it is available on Amazon.com and
in local retail shops.
tion, start with something
youre familiar with. So I
started thinking of things
that were kind of unusual
in my past. One thing I remembered was, before my
mother died, she gave me
a list of five women she
wanted my father to consider marrying after she
died. It started with that
idea, but from then on,
it was all fiction. I really
had fun creating these five
women.
Like her character, Alice, Welch has also battled
cancer.
Ive had my own battle
with cancer, so this was
sort of something where

you might as well say it
like it isnot everyone is
going to survive cancer,
she said. Im in my fourth
round with it and so far,
Im surviving, but the reality is that there are a lot of
people that lose their lives
to cancer.
I think the more we discuss it and the more that
its out there, the easier it
is, Welch added. Ill never forget standing in the
doctors office when they
told me I had cancer. I
thought, oh my goodness,
what does this mean? I
thought everything was
fine, but as it turned out,

not so much.
Welch is continuing to
write and her next work
will likely involve ghosts.
Its a ghost book, she
said. Im working on it
now and Im trying to get
it into some kind of order,
but hopefully I will be able
to share it soon.
Alices List is available
on Amazon.com. You can
also find copies at Fiction
Addiction in Greenville
and Dobson Gifts and General Hardware in Greer.

NEW RELEASES
FOR WEEK OF NOV. 2
PICKS OF THE WEEK
Inside Out (PG) -- Pixar goes on an inward-journey with this inventive

animated adventure about
the struggles of growing
up and having emotions.
Riley (voiced by Kaitlyn
Dias) is an 11-year-old who
has trouble adjusting after
her family moves to a new
state. Like all of us, Riley
has a rich inner-world
full of memories, and her
emotions influence how
she acts and how she sees
the world. Usually, Riley is
guided by Joy (Amy Poehler), in conjunction with
the other personified feelings: Fear, Sadness, Anger
and Disgust (Bill Hader,
Phyllis Smith, Lewis Black
and Mindy Kaling).
When kids movies try to
tackle complicated topics,
the result is usually either
dumbed-down to pointlessness, or the complexity suffocates the fun. Pixar
has made a movie that is
both pricelessly fun and
original, without compromising on the message.
Vacation (R) -- The legacy of National Lampoons
vacation flicks lives on this
hard-R sequel. Ed Helms
(of The Office) leads as
Rusty Griswald, the son
from the old Vacation
movies, now a grownup
failure who is borderline
reviled by his wife and
kids -- just like his dad!
Rusty has the brilliant idea
to rekindle his marriage
and impress his sons by
taking them on the same
horrendous road trip his
dad dragged him on!
The raunchy humor in
this outing is generally
more cringe-inducing than
laugh-out-loud. The last
set of Griswalds werent
a really happy bunch, but
theres a weird bitterness
to many of the jokes between these family members. The intense gross-out
factor also is much higher
than before, which could
be a draw for some.
The End of the Tour
(R) -- In 1996, the literary
world received a huge hit
to the head from a heavy
book. David Foster Wallaces novel Infinite Jest
quickly established the
author as The New Guy to
Watch. This movie is an
up-close study of an unreleased interview with the
young author, just coming
to grips with the success
headed his way. In 96,
Rolling Stone sent journalist and novelist David Lipsky (Jesse Eisenberg) on
a five-day ride-along with
Wallace (Jason Segel). This
is a major turn for Segel - until now best known for
comedy -- successfully taking on such a challenging
role in an unconventional
movie.
Roar (R) -- The bloodiest, most recklessly lifethreatening film production in Hollywood history
resulted in this light-hearted comedy about a family
acting afraid while they
share a home with at least
100 untrained tigers, lions
and panthers. Writer/director Noel Marshall felt so
strongly about this movie
that he cast his own family, literally feeding them
to lions -- including his
wife Tippi Hedren (from
Hitchcocks The Birds)
and her daughter, Melanie
Griffith (who would later
need facial surgery after
a lion attack). At least 70
people were seriously injured during production,
which was a never-ending nightmare thanks to
money problems and entire crews wisely walking
away from the project.
But Marshall finished his
movie. Never released in
the U.S., the 1981 film is
now available on Blu-ray,
and its a must-have for
collectors of Hollywoods
worst ideas.

Ridley Scott accomplishes the difficult task of making an

and figuratively out of

this world.
Not all of the films elements work.
The Martian isnt as
funny as it wants to be,
and its attempts at comic
relief prove more corny
than humorous. The
movies biggest flaw is its
lack of three-dimensional
supporting characters. As
such, acclaimed talents
like Jessica Chastain
(Zero Dark Thirty)
and Michael Pena (End
of Watch) dont get to
flex their acting muscle.
There is a wonderful cast
here, but it is underutilized.
Thankfully, Damon
doesnt suffer the same
fate. His performance
here is one of the best the
sci-fi genre has ever seen,
moving seamlessly between despair and hope,
surrender and conviction,
self-pity and self-confidence. Despite the best
efforts of the production
crew, the film begins and
ends with him. And he
deserves high praise for
keeping Mark Whatley
believable no matter how
outlandish the events
portrayed in the movie
may be.
The B-17 is one of only

eight in flying condition

B-24J and Full Dual Control P-51C Mustang are the

hen people talk

about who invented
heavy metal, they
talk about three British
bands Led Zeppelin,
Black Sabbath and Deep
Purple. The first of these
was inducted into the
Rock and Roll Hall of
Fame two decades ago,
the second in 2006. It
is one of rock historys
great travesties that Deep
Purple still remains on the
outside of the hall looking
in.
In a way, it would be
less reprehensible if they
hadnt been nominated
and denied twice already.
Yet, Deep Purple failed
to garner the necessary
votes in 2012 and 2013,
despite pleadings from
members of Rush, Metallica and Guns n Roses.
Most casual rock fans
know Deep Purple from
the 1972 hard rock
anthem, Smoke on the
Water. But the band produced far more than that.
In fact, in the early 70s,
the group put out three
albums that rank right up
there with Sabbaths best
work and almost up there
with Zeppelins. 1970s
Fireball featured the
epic anti-war song, Child
in Time. One of the alltime great vocal performances, the 10-minute
tune showcases front man
Ian Gillen singing/howling
in three different octaves.
Do yourself a favor and
look up any of guitarist
Ronnie Blackmores solos
on Youtube. You will see
pretty quickly why every
heavy metal guitarist
in the 1980s grew up
worshipping him. So I
ask, how can a group that
had one of rocks alltime greatest singers and
rocks all-time greatest
guitarists be denied entry
into its sacred halls in
Cleveland?
Obviously, the answer
is political. The Hall of

transparent about its
nomination process but
remains gleefully mute
about how exactly it
chooses its three inductees each year. Its hard
to comprehend why some
acts are in there and
others arent. While most
acts certainly deserve to
be their spot in the hall,
there are a few headscratchers in there as
well. The Mamas & the
Papas, KISS and Abba all
seem a bit questionable
to me; while Steely Dan,
Blondie and Dr. John
hardly seem like obvious
choices either.
Meanwhile, there are
more than a few great
rock acts that havent
yet made the cut. The
Zombies have been nominated and shunned, while
such brilliant acts as The
Guess Who and Warren
Zevon havent even been
nominated.
Obviously, those acts
will have to wait another
year (or decade) for their
names to come up. Deep
Purple is on the ballot
this year, along with many
other famous names
including NWA, Janet
Jackson, Nine Inch Nails,
Chicago and Steve Miller.
Only three will be voted
in. With the Halls bias
towards celebrity, its very
possible that Deep Purple
will again miss the cut.
For both rock enthusiasts
and the band that helped
invent and define heavy
metal music, thats a slap
in the face even louder
than their concerts.

Do Prednisone benefits
outweigh its risks?
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am
an 80-year-old woman who
always had excellent health
until about four years ago,
when I was diagnosed as
having
bronchiectasis.
Since then, I have had to
use an albuterol solution,
plus an Airway Vest, in periodic daily treatments in
order to continue breathing.
A few weeks ago, my
doctor prescribed 10 mg
of prednisone daily in
addition, and the results
have been amazing. Instead of five to six inhaler
treatments each 24 hours,
I need only two or three,
and (the best result) I can
sleep through the night!
Previously, I woke every
three to four hours nightly
for a treatment with the inhaler and vest, and I often
slept poorly afterward.
My prednisone dosage
has been reduced to 5 mg
daily, and although I know
it is a (possibly dangerous)
corticosteroid, I dread the
prospect of going back to
the days of arranging my
life around the use of the
albuterol inhalers, as well
as feeling so much less
able to enjoy what life I
have left. What would be
the result of continuing a
minimal dosage of prednisone (5 mg or less per
day)? What alternatives do
I have? -- C.B.
ANSWER: This is a
good question, not just
for bronchiectasis (a scarring condition of the air-

ways, so they cant clear
mucus properly), but for
the many, many diseases
treated with prednisone.
Long-term use of highdose prednisone (and
similar steroids, such as
cortisone and methylprednisolone, or Medrol)
can cause diabetes in susceptible individuals, and
it raises blood pressure,
weakens bones, increases
hunger and causes weight
gain in most, causes thinning and other skin problems and, in high doses,
causes confusion or psychosis. It is indeed a dangerous drug.
However, as bad as it is,
it sometimes is so effective at improving the disease its treating that the
benefit is worth the risk
of all these side effects.
There are some conditions
where the prednisone has
to be permanent, although
we are finding more and
more alternatives to reduce or replace the prednisone.
The body makes its own
steroid, cortisone, at the
daily equivalent of roughly 5 mg of prednisone. At
that dose or less, the risks
of prednisone are much
less than at the high dose
of 40 mg, 60 mg or greater
used for inflammatory
and autoimmune diseases. If you have to stay on
this dose, it sounds like
the benefit outweighs the
risk.
One alternative you
havent mentioned is steroid inhalers. For asthma
and sometimes for bronchiectasis, steroid inhalers,
which use far more potent
steroids than prednisone,
can have as good a benefit.
They are poorly absorbed,
and as such have little or
no systemic side effects,
like raising blood sugar
and blood pressure. If you
are doing well on a 5 mg
dose of prednisone, you
would likely do well on a
steroid inhaler.

DR. ROACH WRITES:
I wrote recently about
loss of eyebrow hair. One
reader wrote in to tell me
that in her case, a magnesium supplement solved
her problem entirely. I did
find that magnesium deficiency can cause hair loss,
so it may be worth a try.
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.
