Event aims

to raise
$120,000

STAFF WRITER
Survivors, friends and
families that have been af-
fected by cancer will join
together to raise money
for the American Cancer
Society at the Relay for Life
of Greer on Friday, May
16, beginning at 6 p.m. at
Greer High Schools Dool-
ey Field. The event raises
funds for cancer research
and to provide free servic-
es to cancer patients.
[At the American Can-
cer Society] our mission
is to create a world with
more birthdays and less
cancer, said Gina Miller,
Relay for Life community
manager. We are fight-
ing every day to continue
funding cancer research,
to support our researchers
I think were the only
private non-profit that
raises money for cancer
that actually has funded
47 Nobel Prize scientists.
We also help to fund free
patient health services.
The American Cancer
Society, located on Pelham
Road in Greenville, pro-
vides wigs, post-surgical
camisoles, scarves, trans-
portation to and from
therapy, access to emo-
tional support through fel-
low survivors and funds an
around the clock helpline
that provides emotional
and informational support
for cancer patients.
I actually became in-
volved with Relay for Life
about 13, 14 years ago. I
actually was a teacher in
Spartanburg County and I
was diagnosed with can-
cer. [Im a] 14-year sur-
vivor, Miller said. One
of my nurses at the infu-
sion center at Gibbs Can-
cer Center in Spartanburg
said, Gina, you need to
come out to Relay. And
Id never heard of Relay
for Life before, and I went
out with a friend just to
kind of experience what it
was like. Ive been hooked
ever since.
After attending her first
Relay for Life event, Miller,
who was a teacher at the
time, became a team cap-
tain at her school and con-
tinued her involvement
through the years. When

The Greer community is
continuing to rally around
the family of an injured
runner, who has been hos-
pitalized for more than a
month.
A benefit yard sale, bake
sale and block party for
Shannon High saw a per-
fect turnout last Saturday,
according to Highs broth-
er-in-law, Jason Blackwell.
I feel like it went abso-
lutely perfect, Blackwell
said. There were a few
times, when we started
setting everything out,
that we were overwhelmed
at the amount of stuff we
received and the donations
and just how supportive
the community had been.
High was injured early
during the Goodwill Mud
Run, which pits runners
against several obstacles
in route to the finish line.
High, who lives in Greer
and attends Praise Cathe-
dral Church in Greer, was
transported to the hospi-
tal, where he received ur-
gent care.
Friends and supporters
of High have been coming
together to help his family
ever since, and Blackwell
said he saw an enormous
turnout at the yard sale.
It was unreal. Ive never
seen so much stuff in my
life, Blackwell said. We
started setting things out
and setting things out, and
it just piled up. It would
have never been possible
if it were not for volun-
teers and what they gave.
They put in a tremendous
amount of work. At no
point did I feel like some-
one was there because
they wanted something in
return.
You could just tell by
peoples actions and kind-
ness, it was just a great
day, he said.
Blackwell said the family
was overwhelmed by sup-
port.
My familys response
and the volunteers re-
sponse was almost the
same, Blackwell said.
They couldnt believe that

There are four weeks
left in this years legisla-
tive session, and the race
is on to get legislation to
the governors desk.
Looking back on the
two-year session, the
House has a long list of
notable achievements.
Since voters gave us
control of the House in
1994, most of our states
major reforms originated
as priorities of the S.C.
House. This year was no
exception.
Here are just a few of
the notable bills that we
passed and their status:
Election reform: This
legislation fixed the prob-
lems that plagued the
2012 election and made
our election system more
efficient and streamlined.
This legislation has been
signed into law.
Common Core: The
House and Senate have
approved legislation
preventing the implemen-
tation of the Common
Core education standards
and removing the state
from the Common Core
organization beginning
next year and revert to
our strong, state-created
standards.
ID theft protection: In
addition to providing ID
fraud protection to all
South Carolinians, we ap-
proved legislation making
it easy to put a freeze
on your credit report
to prevent thieves from
stealing your identity to
take out loans, apply for
credit cards, or anything
else that requires a credit
check.
Obamacare: The House
Republicans have fought
back more than a dozen
attempts by the minor-
ity party to implement
Obamacare and radically
expand Medicaid spend-
ing. We successfully opted
out of the Medicaid ex-
pansion, opted out of the
exchanges and ordered
local governments not to
join on their own. Weve
worked for two years to
fight Obamacare with
every tool at our disposal.
Most of the legislation is
still in the state Senate.
Restructuring: The
House approved the big-
gest restructuring of our
government since Carroll
Campbell was governor.
That legislation created a
Department of Adminis-
tration and moved nearly
all of the day-to-day
operations of the state
government under the
control of the governor
and out of the hands of
the unaccountable Budget
and Control Board, which
was eliminated. This bill
is now law.
Two other bills await-
ing consideration in the
Senate include shortening
the legislative session
(something the House has
approved a dozen times
since 1994), and legisla-
tion allowing voters to
decide whether the state
Adjutant General should
be elected or appointed
by the governor.
Second amendment:
We approved two bills
that protected the rights
of gun owners that were
signed into law. The first
allows concealed weap-
ons permit holders to
take their weapons into
restaurants and bars
provided they do not
consume alcohol. The
second expands our state
background checks to flag
people who have mental
health issues. That legisla-
tion came following the
incident at the Ashley Hall
School, when a mentally
ill woman brought a gun
to the school and an
amazing tragedy was nar-
rowly averted.
Emmas law: The Gen-
eral Assembly approved
Emmas Law, which
requires repeat DUI of-
fenders to install ignition
interlock devices on their
cars. I have written about
this bill several times in
the past few months.
Ethics: The House will
soon consider our Ethics
Reform Act (after the Sen-
ate watered the bill down
and sent it back to us last
month). We approved this
legislation last year and
the Senate sent it back to
us in April. We are com-
mitted to getting this leg-
islation to the governors
desk before the end of the
session.
Data privacy protec-
tion: We approved legisla-
tion that prevents the
state, or law enforcement,
from eavesdropping on
your smartphones and/or
searching your smart-
phone without a warrant.
These are vital protec-
tions that the federal
courts have not given
us, but are vital now that
many of us carry sensitive
personal information on
our phones. This legisla-
tion is pending in the
Senate.
Budget: The House
approved two balanced
budgets that prioritized
education funding and
our infrastructure needs.
We have approved bal-
anced budgets in every
year that the Republi-
cans have controlled the
House.
A few other items of
note that are still pend-
ing in the Senate as time
runs short: legislation
requiring people getting
unemployment benefits to
be drug-tested; legislation
allowing the dependents
of our service men and
women to receive in-state
tuition at our public col-
leges; legislation putting
new restrictions on tex-
ting while driving; legisla-
tion expanding criminal
background checks for
childcare workers; legisla-
tion reauthorizing the
First Steps program; nu-
merous smaller pieces of
legislation restricting the
use of campaign funds
and legislation requiring a
fiscal impact statement be
computed for new regula-
tions.
It was a very busy two
years, but as we come to
the close of the session,
we can hang our hats on
a number of significant
reforms that will be felt
throughout our state in
the coming years.
You are why I serve!
Your input and concerns
are always welcome.

Molly Spearman does not
have all the answers, she
said, but she wants whats
best for South Carolina.
I have spent my life
working to improve the
education system here
and weve done some
great things, she said.
I have the relationships
that it would take with
the business community,
with the education com-
munity and legislators to
bring folks to the table
and hit the ground run-
ning. I dont have all the
answers. I dont plan to
be an expert in all these
fields, but I know people
who are and I would have
them sitting at the table
to find out whats best for
South Carolina and what
will work here.
Spearman, a Republican,
is running for education
superintendent.
The role of the state
superintendent actually
doesnt have a lot of au-
thority to tell people what
to do but the state super-
intendent is the ambassa-
dor for public education
in the state and can help
working with folks to set
a vision and bring all the
stakeholders to table to
solve issues, she said. I
believe Im well prepared
to do that.
Spearman wants to cre-
ate a strong, collaborative
effort among students,
parents, educators and the
business community to
focus on available South
Carolina careers and how
to prepare students.
Its a lot about informa-
tion. I think parents dont
understand whats avail-
able, she said. Weve got
to really enhance our ca-
reer and technology cen-
ters in the state to make
them more accessible so
more students to partici-
pate in those programs.
Spearman wants to fo-
cus on teacher and princi-
pal quality.
To me, those are the
two silver bullets that
can really change whats
happening in classrooms.
Youve got to have high
quality teachers who know
how to teach, particularly
teaching reading. We prob-
ably need some extra in-
struction there, she said.
Just as important is to
have a principal in every
school who understands
instruction. I would put
more emphasis on the se-
lection and evaluation of
principals and work with
the districts on that.
Spearman said she wants
to work with students and
families early on reading
and readiness programs.
Id really look forward
to working with all the
school districts in beefing
up our instruction in read-
ing in those early grades,
she said.
She also wants to build
up resources, infrastruc-
ture and accessibility to
technology. Safety is a big
concern as well, Spearman
said.
Ive been a real pro-
ponent of mental health
counselors, working very
closely with mental health
agencies to get more coun-
selors in schools and on
anti-bullying prevention,
she said.
Spearman grew up in
Saluda County, attend-
ing public schools and
attended Lander Univer-
sity, George Washington
University and the Univer-
sity of South Carolina. She
taught music and went on
to become an assistant
principal.
Spearman also served
four terms in the South
Carolina House of Rep-
resentatives, where she
served on the Education
Committee, Ways and
Means and the K-12 Sub-
Committee.
I really got good expe-
rience in understanding
the budget for K-12 works
and how its funding, she
said.
She has also worked for
the South Carolina Depart-
ment of Education as the
deputy superintendent un-
der former superintendent
Inez Tenenbaum, where
we had six great years.
Since 2004, she has
worked as the director for
the South Carolina Asso-
ciation of School Admin-
istrators, a professional
organization of district
superintendents and prin-
cipals.
I work very closely with
all of them on ed policy,
on professional develop-
ment, she said.
The primary is June 10.
Spearman is one of 13 can-
didates. More information

It was a very busy two years, but as we
come to the close of the session, we can
hang our hats on a number of significant
reforms that will be felt throughout our
state in the coming years.
T
he heart of the racing documentary
that I co-produced a year ago, JB
Day, passed away last week at the
age of 80.
But his life deserves so much more
attention than what was limited to in
column inches, for his obituary.
You see, JB was a self-made man and
came from an era that Tom Brokaw
famously described to be The Greatest
Generation and lived a life, particularly,
a childhood, that would send the rest of
us covering our eyes with our hands and
watching, in horror, through trembling
fingers.
My mama died when I was just a
baby, JB told us during the hours we
rolled film to record his story, And
my daddy was so busy farming he just
couldnt raise me, so this old feller
looked after me. We slept mostly under
the roof of this old barn that had come
down and if it was cold, wed just kick
some leaves up under it to stay warm.
JB was around 7 years old at this time,
sporadically attending school, feeding
his dads hogs, entranced with the magic
that only a kid would find in the con-
fines of an old junk yard. As he grew,
he learned to work on cars, drink a little
moonshine, deliver some of it as well,
and when he was approaching 10 or 11,
his boss told him if he needed a place to
sleep, he could sleep, JB thought he said,
With that old sow.
I aint sleeping with no pig. JB, of-
fended, replied.
Not old sow, his boss retorted,
and, pointing to the battered Caddy on
blocks, which was to become the boys
home for several years, added, The old
Lasalle. Curtains were run up for the
back window and JB would retire to his
room at night, in the junk yard, after
a full days work, for years to come. He
was in heaven.
I used to ride my bike to all the
races, JB declared, warming up. Some-
times 50 miles or more. Id sleep in the
woods at night and, if I was lucky, the
racers would see me on the road to Co-
lumbia or Spartanburg and theyd stop
and give me a ride. But one time, I was
at a truck rest stop and, in those days,
there were these long chains that used
to hang off the back of them trucks. So
I waited til I heard one get started up,
and I snuck round the back and held on
to that chain with one hand, and on to
my handle bars with the other, and he
pulled me along for about 20 miles or
so.
You didnt! I gasped, horrified. How
is that even possible? How fast were you
going?
Oh, a good 60 miles an hour, JB
mused, not bragging, just narrowing his
eyes in recollection, The trouble was,
wed get going so fast, down a hill, that
my bike would start runnin up under
the truck, so I kept havin to push off
from it, but, boy, we got goin so fast
that the speedometer on my bike kept
windin round and round and then the
whole thing busted off the handlebars!
When I saw that I was gonna run up
under the truck, again, I swung real wide
just as the truck started up the hill, and
the driver saw me out of his mirror and,
boy, he pulled that thing over and come
after me, pulling his belt from his pants,
fixing to tear me up!
There was so much more to hear, from
his bootlegging days to his own racing
career to his long and loving marriage
to wife, Willavene, as well as his de-
voted friendship with legendary racer,
Tim Flock, for whom he led the funeral
procession.
When they start shovelin the dirt
on my grave, JB, Tim had asked of
his friend when gravely ill, I want you
next to the grave, in my car, revvin the
engine.
And thats what we done, JB said,
softly. Thats what we done.
JB has left us now and all I can think is
that this year, the Racers Reunion that
he hosted annually at his Riverbend Old
Stockcar Museum, in Easley, will be held
somewhere the rest of us arent privy to.
But I can just imagine the laughter
and stories being shared between JB, the
Fabulous Flocks, Fireball, Ed Samples
and Louise Smith.
And Ive heard enough about Tim,
during his wild glory days, to make me
issue a bemused warning...

Laughter and glory days
A city thats quick to help,
served its neighbor well
Blessed
by autism
Read 2 Corinthians 1:3-7
B
lessed be the Godof all
consolation, who consoles
us in all our affliction. --2
Corinthians 1:3-4 (NRSV)
Our son was diagnosed with
autism when he was two years
old. My wife noticed subtle
changes in his behavior; within
months, his language and
social interactions became se-
verely diminished. The outgo-
ing boy we knew and loved was
gone, fixed in his own world.
Nothing could have prepared
us for what we were facing. We
turned to God, praying for our
sons recovery. Knowing that
a complete recovery would be
uncommon, we also prayed for
our understanding and accep-
tance.
We found a private school
that serves children with
autism. After six months, our
son has changed significantly.
We have been able to rally
around him as he continues to
progress little each day, one
step at a time. By concentrating
on intervention and progress,
we have developed a healthy
perspective toward his con-
dition. We are involved in a
healing process, emotionally
for our family and develop-
mentally for our child. Now
even the smallest improvement
feels like the biggest blessing. I
firmly believe that through this
sudden adversity, weve been
brought closer to God and to
one another.
Thought for the day: Small
improvements can be big bless-
ings.
Prayer: O Lord, may we be
strengthened by adversaries
and feel your loving presence
with us always. Amen.
In creeps
censorship
T
uesday, Europes top court
approved a controversial
law that deters between an
individuals right to privacy and
publics right to information.
The Right to be Forgotten law
establishes a precedent for in-
dividuals right to publication
removal and prevention of dis-
tribution regarding personal in-
formation and photos online.
The case originated when a
persons debts were found in
a Google search, despite the
person having paid them years
before. A newspaper published
the information, and while the
newspaper had the right to
publish the information, it was
determined the search engine,
Google, didnt have the right to
link people to the content and
the search engine links were
removed.
The law addresses three
aspects: an individuals right to
permanently delete information
they post, an individuals right
to have their information that
others post or distribute de-
leted and, lastly, it tasks sites
or content publishers, such as
Facebook, and search engines
with taking all reasonable
steps to remove all occurrenc-
es of the content and failure to
do results in substantial fines.
Yes, this law protects multi-
tudes of nave teens or bad-
decision-making adults who
drunkenly post regretful things
online, but it can also prevent
information deemed public
record from being found in
search engines.
The law allows any informa-
tion relating to a data subject
to be removed at the their
request regardless of who
posted it, with the exception
of journalist, literary or artistic
purposes. However, criminals
in Europe have successfully
sued to have links to their re-
cords removed from search
engines, making their murder
convictions inaccessible online.
The Right to be Forgotten
law isnt an American law, but
it effects the accessibility we
have to information worldwide,
and it censors social sites and
search engines we utilize. Simi-
lar online eraser legislation
has been passed in California,
directly in relation to minors.
But online eraser advocates
continue to push for nation-
wide enforcement of this seem-
ingly harmless censorship.
However you package it,
well-intended censorship is a
violation of rights and infor-
mation access, and it certainly
shouldnt be endorsed.
The Greer community deserves a pat on the
back. Last weekend, hundreds of local residents
turned out to support Greer Community Min-
istries (GCM) and help raise money for a local
family going through a difficult time. Everyone
was getting involved, and it wasnt unnoticed.
Early Saturday morning at Praise Cathedral
Church, piles upon piles of yard sale goodies
were sorted and organized in an effort to raise
funds for Shannon High and his family.
High, a Greer resident, is facing a long road
to recovery after suffering severe injuries dur-
ing the annual Goodwill Mud Run. Highs family
has watched him slowly progress since the ac-
cident. Theyve celebrated victories in his battle
with life-threatening injuries, but theyve also
celebrated the love and support of volunteers
willing to help.
Highs brother-in-law, Jason Blackwell, asked
friends and those willing to help to donate
items to the yard sale, and he was overwhelmed
with the response.
There were a few times, when we started set-
ting everything out, that we were overwhelmed
at the amount of stuff we received and the do-
nations and just how supportive the community
had been, he said.
The High Hopes campaign has been running
strong for several weeks. Friends and fam-
ily members have been organizing event after
event to help High, who has a wife and three
children. Businesses like Texas Roadhouse,
Pizza Inn, Fuddruckers and Sims BBQ are just
some of platforms the High Hopes campaign
has been able to utilize.
Its no surprise the Greer community has
stepped up and answered the call for help. With
the constant support of a city that always aims
to help its neighbor, those wishing to provide a
helping hand to the needy often see a positive
results. Just ask the staff at GCM. GCM has been
providing aid and meals for people in need since
the early 70s. Last year, GCM handed out 80,000
meals to folks in Greer and surrounding areas.
Doing such an extraordinary and needed
job, however, requires a little help from some
friends. This past Friday, more than 40 golf
teams lined up to participate in the organiza-
tions annual fundraiser, which was expected
to raise more than $50,000. Volunteers came
to help serve and cook food, hand out snacks,
watch each hole on the course, help with the
silent auction and clean up afterwards.
GCM relies on its volunteers. It relies Greer
folks to give. We couldnt survive without our
volunteers, Cindy Simpler, executive director
of Greer Community Ministries, said. If we
didnt have volunteers, we couldnt pull off an
event like that.
If you just look at that event and you saw how
many people were working, there were probably
three or four times the number of people we
have on staff at GCM, she continued. Theyre
the ones that make it happen.
The volunteers always seem to turn up. Wheth-
er its Big Thursday, the annual Greer Relief Gala
or a food drive at the Greer Soup Kitchen, local
residents make Greer what it ought to be.
This past weekend was great for the people
that will be helped, but it isnt enough. The city
needs to continue to provide support where its
needed, and we want to continue to offer you
chances to do that. All throughout our paper,
there are chances to get involved and to help
someone in need. Please dont pass them up.
Lets continue to make Greer the best place
to live in the Upstate and have more weekends
like this past Friday and Saturday. Our city will
be better off because of it.
We couldnt survive without our
volunteers.

Earlier this month, own-
ers Mark Grant and Dixon
Howard opened the Cam-
eroon, a cigar bar, at 207
Trade St. The facility,
named after a type of ci-
gar wrapper, holds several
seating areas and, in addi-
tion to cigars, offers vari-
ous local craft brews and
wines.
We had our own frus-
trations with other cigar
shops in the area, stuff
we wished that we could
change, Grant said. In-
stead of being disgruntled
customers in other cigar
shops, were like, we have
an opportunity to do this
ourselves and really pay
attention to the customer
from personal experi-
ence.
Prior to opening their
new business, Grant was
a carpenter, in addition
to serving in the military,
and Howard is a real es-
tate appraiser. Their en-
joyment of cigars led them
to collaborate and begin
the process of renovating
the longtime-empty down-
town storefront about a
year ago.
Greer seemed to have
that kind of family com-
munity and thats pretty
much what brought us
here, Grant said. We saw
a niche that needed to be
filled. Were passionate
about cigars, craft beer
and fine wines and we fig-
ured this was a good place
to do it.
Presently four premium
cigar brands and vari-
ous labels ranging from
about $8 to $10 are of-
fered, alongside 20 differ-
ent craft beers and several
wines.
We offer premium ci-
gars. Youre not going to
find like Swisher Sweets,
Black and Mild, things like
that. Were a craft store
and making cigars is an
art. Its a craft. The cigars
that we sell, its 100 per-
cent tobacco, Grant
said.
Eventually the inventory
will expand, offering up to
50 cigar brands and dou-
bling the beer and wine
inventory with an empha-
sis on offering local prod-
ucts.
What we represent here
is stuff people went to
great lengths to craft and
make it special, he said.
Grant said he has been
looking to customers for
recommendations of what
products to carry and a
business website is being
developed.
Right now I think the
one thing that differen-
tiates us a lot from the
other cigar shops around
here is the quality of our
air inside, Grant said.
Our ventilation sucks
the cigar smoke outside,
and we bring in fresh air.
One of the things thats
unique about that is most
cigar shops recirculate, so
you can never really get
away from that smell or
that haze from the smoke,
which makes it a guys
hang out. Last week I had
a lot of couples coming in
here husband and wife,
boyfriend and girlfriend
that kind of thing
We have a passion to
keep the place clean, keep
it smelling clean, and I
want couples in here. I
dont want the classic,
Yeah, my wife let me get
away and come in here
and smoke a cigar. I want
him to bring his wife here
and have a glass of wine
and enjoy the atmosphere
that was created, he said.
The Cameroon is open
Monday and Tuesday from
noon 8 p.m., Wednesday
from noon 9 p.m. and
Thursday Saturday from
noon 11 p.m. The hours
are flexible and, with cus-
tomers permitting, the ci-
gar shop would stay open
later if needed. The hours
will eventually be adjusted
based on the customer
traffic. For more informa-
tion, contact the Cameroon

Don Jordan does not
want to be superintendent,
but the longtime calculus
professor does not want
to sit idly by.
The problem Im hav-
ing with myself is this: Im
facing a hundred calculus
students, he said. Sixty
of them out of a hundred
of them are in serious debt
-- $30,000 to $100,000.
Nobodys talking about
that. The tuition increases
in South Carolina have got
to stop.
After graduating from
Camden High in 1961,
Jordan paid his own way
through the University
of South Carolina, where
he earned a bachelors in
math education and mas-
ters and Ph.D. in math-
ematics.
When he was working
his way through school,
tuition was $300 per se-
mester.
I worked 80 hours a
week. I had a hundred
bucks in a week. In three
weeks, I had my tuition
for the first semester,
Jordan said. In another
three weeks, I had all of
it and before the summer
was out, I had my room
and board. The only thing
I had to do was find some-
thing to eat and I worked
part time for it. I never was
in debt. Today...I couldnt
go to college. There would
be no way. I cant come up
with $25,000 a summer.
Jordan wants to look for
programs to help avoid
debt, like the military or
two-year schools. He wants
to work with the legisla-
ture to get more funding
for college.
Dont you think its a
sin to have a 21-year-old
$100,000 in debt because
he wanted to go to college?
Parents are concerned.
Students are concerned.
he said. Weve got to have
more than just talk.
He also would like to ad-
dress teaching measure-
ment in the state.
Measurement has not
been taught right in South
Carolina for a long time.
Its not been in the guide-
lines like it should be,
Jordan said. Nanotech-
nology is jostling to be
taught in middle school.
Its completely metricAll
chemistry is metric in high
school. The teacher has to
stop and teach metric be-
fore she can teach chemis-
try. We havent done that
right.
Jordan served as the sci-
ence fair director at USC
for 14 years and has also
directed Junior Academy
of Science for the South
Carolina Academy of Sci-
ence, where he is a mem-
ber. Hes also a member in
the South Carolina Council
of Teachers of Math and
Science.
He has worked with stu-
dents who have gone on to
win the national science
fair.
South Carolina has the
school system that can
produce the best in the
world, Jordan said. Ive
seen that.
He has also worked with
Project Access, developing
programs to help students
in poor or rural areas get
into college. Jordan also
taught summer programs
at the Wil Lou Gray Op-
portunity School in West
Columbia.
Jordan wants to see
math and science incor-
porated into early reading
programs.
Youve got to have some
science and technology in
the reading program as
well as the pure English,
Jordan said. You dont
read math like you do a
novel.
Jordan has been a pro-
fessor at the University
of South Carolina for 41
years. He grew up in Cam-
den.
More information about
Jordan is available at jor-
danforsupe.com. He is one
of 13 candidates. The pri-
mary is June 10.

many donations. Everyone
was just in sync.
Blackwell said a signifi-
cant amount was raised to
help in Highs recovery.
Between the yard sale
and the block party, its al-
most unheard of to know
that youve got that kind of
support and you came out
that well, Blackwell said.
It was amazing to have a
yard sale and a block party
that are 100 percent for
the High Hopes campaign.
Everybody was just like, I
cannot believe it did that
well.
Blackwell said, despite
all he has been through,
High has continued to im-
prove.
Hes at the Shepherds
Rehabilitation Clinic and
[will soon] come off the
ventilator, Blackwell said.
Thats a huge blessing,
to be done with that. The
doctor did tell my sister
that they would be able
to get him off the ventila-
tor and get that trake out.
One of his lungs that had
some difficulty came back
to 100 percent on its own.
Were grateful for that.
Were still praying and
hoping and reaching out,
Blackwell said.

Wetzel said last years
event was rained out,
but two years ago about
10,000 people attended
LymanFest, and weather
permitting, he expects at
least 6,000 people to par-
take in the event this year.
We need to promote

mote our community. This
is just a small way for us
as a town to give back to
the community, to thank
them for what they do for
us and to try to promote
what we have in the town,
Wetzel said.
Through out the day,
ice cream, burgers, kettle
corn, Italian ice, pizza and
BBQ will be served by one
of the several food ven-
dors, and more than 50
craft, art and retail vendors
will be on site as well, in-

Lymans streetscape
project to renovate and
beautify the downtown

way, but the ongoing con-

like were going to come
in somewhere between
$50,000 and $55,000.
Greer Community Minis-
tries ability to serve stems
from the help of volun-
teers, Simpler said.
We couldnt survive
without our volunteers,
Simpler said. If we didnt
have volunteers, we
couldnt pull off an event
like that. We had volun-
teers watching holes, we
had volunteers helping
with registration, we had
volunteers cooking and
serving. We even had some
wonderful beauty queens
running the snack cart for
us.
If you just look at that
event and you saw how
many people were work-
ing, there were probably
three or four times the
number of people we have
on staff at GCM, she said.
Theyre the ones that
make it happen.
The event saw more than
40 teams compete.
We had 44 teams, Sim-
pler said. We had a silent
auctions, a putting contest
and fantastic food. All
in all, we were extremely
pleased with how smooth-
ly things went. The folks
at Greer Country Club are
always very good to us.
Simpler said the silent
auction was much im-
proved from last year.
We havent really
summed up what we did
on the silent auction, but
we think it was an im-
provement over last year,
Simpler said. Folks had
a lot of opportunities to
get some really nice pack-
ages.
Simpler said the golf
fundraiser ranks up there
with some of the orga-
nizations most success-
ful events, including the
Benson Classic Car Show
and Twilight Run and Big
Thursday.
All of the businesses in
the Greer community that
contributed to the silent
auction items, thats just
huge, Simpler said. You
cant have an organization
like ours without people in
the community who have
a heart for wiping out hun-
ger and getting involved in
a tangible way.
Many of GCMs fund-
raising efforts are geared
toward raising money for
Meals on Wheels.
We always appreciate
financial support because
thats what takes to buy
the food, but when youve
got people working shoul-
der to shoulder with you
through the tasks that
arent necessarily the
greatest tasks in the world,
that means so much, she
said. Many hands make
light work.
Simpler said Greer Com-
munity Ministries has been
fortunate to have a solid
group of core volunteers.
Most of the folks who
volunteer for our events
have also been involved
with driving a Meals on
Wheels route, Simpler
said. The folks that were
there are not new to us.
If youve ever spent a day
working in here in some
capacity, then you see the
need. If you have any com-
passion at all, you feel the
responsibility. A commu-
nity has to take care of the
folks out there who are in
need. Its our responsibil-
ity.

free survivors dinner pro-
vided by Texas Roadhouse
will served to cancer sur-
vivors from 5:306:30
p.m. At 6 p.m., survivors
will kickoff the event by
taking the first lap around
the track before being
joined by other teams and
participants. Presently,
39 teams are signed up
to participate, but partici-
pants do not have to be
part of a team. To get in-
volved, online registration
is available at relayforlife.
org/greersc. If there are
survivors not yet regis-
tered, they can register
in-person at the survivor
dinner, where they will re-
ceive a free survivor t-shit
in addition to the event
shirt.
Last years Relay for
Life of Greer exceeded the
$115,000 goal and raised
$117,000, after expenses.
This years goal is to raise
$120,000.
I think, more than any-
thing everyone who
comes out there, whether
its a survivor, or a care-
giver or someone whos
supporting a friend, ev-
erybody there has a rea-
son that theyre out there
supporting Relay for Life,
Miller said.
Unlike the previous
years, this year the Lu-
minaria ceremony at the
event will begin with a
cancer survivor, along
with their family, carrying
a torch for a silent lap be-
fore others join in honor
of the people lost to can-
cer.
I know one thing thats
very emotional and mean-
ingful for people out there
is our Luminaria service,
and its where the bags are
lit around 9 p.m and we
walk a silent lap around in
memory and in honor of
our loved ones. Its quite
a powerful experience,
Miller said. There will be
a survivor who actually
carries a torch this year to
do a silent lap around the
track first with their fam-
ily, and then everyone else
will step onto the track
and walk that silent lap.
Its just very powerful.

Weekend Outlook
BY WILLIAM BUCHHEIT
THE GREER CITIZEN
PART I DAVID MEEKS
Editors Note The fol-
lowing is the first part in
a series on the exotic pet
trade. Look for further en-
tries in upcoming issues of
The Greer Citizen.
David Meeks has been
working with exotic ani-
mals for more than 40
years, since Spartanburgs
Cleveland Park Zoo closed
down and he and his fa-
ther took in some of its
animals. That was the
start of M&M (Meeks &
Meeks) zoo near Inman.
Eventually, David bought
out his fathers share and
the zoo became Hollywild
Animal Park, which it re-
mains today.
Meeks named the park
for its frequent contribu-
tions to Hollywood films.
Over the last three de-
cades, his animals have
appeared in 60 feature
movies, including the
blockbusters Days of
Thunder and Prince of
Tides. Meeks even ap-
peared alongside one of
his own tigers in Michael
Manns 1986 thriller Man-
hunter, the first entry
in the popular Hannibal
Lecter movie series.
His prolific travels, stu-
dio connections, knowl-
edge of animals and work
as Hollywilds executive
director have provided
him with a clear look into
something that typically
remains hidden from the
general public the exotic
pet trade.
People ask me if I think
a person should have a
dangerous animal and I
tell them that I think they
should have it so long as
theyre qualified to handle
it, he said.
The exotic pet trade
is a multi-billion dollar
industry that refers to
the buying and selling of
non-indigenous animals
for non-commercial pur-
poses. It includes animals
as small as insects and as
large as tigers. The more
dangerous species include
apes, big cats (lions, leop-
ards, cougars), wolves,
bears and certain giant or
poisonous snakes (cobras,
pythons).
In 2010, the World Wild-
life Fund estimated about
5,000 tigers are privately
owned in the U.S., roughly
2,000 more than what ex-
ist in the wild. Unsurpris-
ingly, not all of these own-
ers are equipped to handle
such beasts, which makes
occasional tragedies inevi-
table.
In 2003, a captive tiger
fatally mauled a 10-year-
old boy in Millers Creek,
N.C., about 20 miles east
of Boone. The child was
sweeping near its cage
when the animal grabbed
him and pulled him
through a hole a dog had
dug under its fencing. A
year prior to that, a boy in
Pickens County was also
bitten by his familys pet
tiger but survived.
Of course, animals that
big and powerful are dan-
gerous to even the most
well-versed handlers. Ev-
eryone remembers the
tiger that nearly killed en-
tertainer Roy Horn during
a 2003 show in Las Vegas.
All big cats have the
potential of being dan-
gerous, Meeks explains.
You can train a tiger to
sit and stay and come and
all that stuff. As long as
everythings going his way
and hes not frightened
or hurt, hell do what you
say because hes learned
it. But as soon as you
frighten him, he doesnt
think anymore. He acts on
instinct, and thats what
gets you in trouble. Once
instinct kicks in, the tam-
est leopard in the world
can do the same damage
one in the wild can do.
Sadly, one of Meeks
good friends learned this
lesson firsthand in May of
1988. Against Meeks ad-
vice, shock rocker Joe Sav-
age bought several leop-
ards for his stage show.
I told him, Its going
to cause you nothing but
trouble. You dont need
it, Meeks recalls, point-
ing at the hair standing
up on his arm. I told him
he was going to bring that
leopard out and some-
thing would go wrong. I
told him I just wouldnt
do it and he shouldnt do
it.
Weeks later, one of Sav-
ages leopards escaped its
cage and killed his two-
year-old daughter.
Meeks says thats the
problem for many exotic
pet owners: they do not
consider all of the sce-
narios and variables be-
forehand. He asserts a re-
sponsible owner not only
researches the breed, but
has a special veterinarian
in place to examine and
treat the animal as well as
a plan drawn out should
the pet escape.
But as cautious as he
is, the Hollywild direc-
tor tries to remain open-
minded when he talks to
potential pet owners. He
says people are more in-
formed about exotics than
they once were, and hes
known his share of owners
whove established superb
health care and living con-
ditions for their animal.
I know a couple that
have seven gorillas right
now as pets and, my
gosh, is the facility great.
And its not very far from
here, he says.
Meeks also claims that
owning an exotic pet is
less dangerous than own-
ing a car and, even though
they are sensationalized
by the media, attacks on
humans remain extraordi-
narily rare.
If its gory enough, peo-
ple will love it and it will
sell a lot of papers, he
says. But the fact is dogs
kill more people every day
than exotics ever thought
about killing.
Far more often, its the
animals welfare that is
compromised in such ar-
rangements, as they often
become malnourished or
sick under a private own-
ers care. A captive 130-lb
cougar, for instance, can
require as much as 10
pounds of raw meat per
day, and requires expen-
sive veterinary care.
When Meeks consults a
potential owner, he does
so with as much concern
about the animals well
being as the owners safe-
ty and liability.
I dont try to play
animal god with them,
because its not for me
to say who should or
shouldnt have them, he
says of prospective exotic
pet owners. All I do is tell
them what theyve got to
consider and tell them
they need to make sure
the animal is safe and
make sure that they have
enough experience with
those animals to take care
of them properly.
The next segment of this
series will be a look into
the S.C. laws and ordi-
nances in the state coun-
ties and cities in place for
owning, selling and buy-
ing exotic animals.
Steve Pettit will be the
fifth president of Bob
Jones University (BJU), ac-
cording to university of-
ficials. The change was
made May 10.
Pettit replaces Dr. Ste-
phen Jones who, for health
reasons, announced in De-
cember he would end his
nine-year tenure as BJUs
president at the end of
Commencement May 9.
Im overwhelmed by
the opportunity to serve
as BJUs president, said
Pettit. For decades, Ive
appreciated the ministry
of BJU and the Jones fam-
ily to me and my family. I
truly desire to honor BJUs
heritage and continueby
Gods graceto fulfill
its mission. I particularly
want to emphasize the pri-
macy of the local church,
encourage relational dis-
cipleship among our stu-
dents, faculty and staff,
and continue the empha-
sis on academic excellence
and living a Godly life.
Larry Jackson, chairman
of the Bob Jones Universi-
ty Board of Trustees, said
Pettit was the right choice.
With his emphasis on
discipleship and his exten-
sive experience in work-
ing with college students,
Steve is a natural choice
for BJU president, said
Jackson. He is committed
to BJUs biblical positions
and educational quality,
and we look forward to the
leadership he will bring to
the University.
Pettit was raised in Co-
lumbia and earned his BS
in Business Administra-
tion from The Citadel in
1978. He earned a MA in
Pastoral Studies from BJU
in 1980.
Prior to being elected
BJUs president, Pettit
served as President of the
Steve Pettit Evangelistic
Association for 29 years.
As president of the SPEA,
he conducted over 800
campaigns throughout the
United States and preached
in over 21 countries. Ad-
ditionally, Pettit serves as
the national director for
Cross Impact Ministries,
a ministry which partners
with local churches to
minister on college cam-
puses across the nation.
He has served for sever-
al years on the Bob Jones
University Board of Trust-
ees and also serves on the
Board of the Central Af-
rica Baptist College, Kitwe,
Zambia.
Pettit is married to the
former Terry Elkins of Den-
ver, Colorado. They have
four children: Rebecca, a
filmmaker in Washington,
D.C., Rachel, a paralegal in
Washington, D.C., Stephen,
a BJU senior and Michael, a
rising high school senior.

Greenville Women Giv-
ing awarded an $81.3K
grant to Greer Community
Ministries (GCM) at its an-
nual meeting held on May
7 at the Gunter Theatre in
Greenville.
The money will provide
GCM funds for a major
renovation of its kitchen
operations, including
HVAC and lighting, orga-
nization officials say.
We are so grateful to
Greenville Women Giv-
ing for granting funds for
this project, said Cindy
Simpler, GCMs executive
director. This grant will
have positive and lasting
impact on our operations,
providing true remedies
and not just band aids to
problems that come with
aging systems. Their gift
is one that will keep on
giving for many years to
come.
The grant will fully fund
the update to the kitchen
facility that prepares over
83,000 meals annually in
the nonprofit organiza-
tions Meals on Wheels
and Senior Dining pro-
grams. Aged and obsolete
kitchen equipment will be
replaced, Simpler said, and
HVAC and lighting sys-
tems will be upgraded to
energy efficient systems.
The kitchen has not been
updated since its 1996 in-
stallation, according to of-
ficials.
The tilt kettle and
dishwasher need to be
replaced, as well several
smaller appliances, Greer
Community Ministries
stated in a release. The
upgrades will provide re-
liability, increased opera-
tional efficiency and en-
ergy savings.
Greer Community Min-
istries has been feeding
and clothing people in
the Greater Greer area for
more than 40 years.

A Greer woman, who
impersonated law enforce-
ment to gain entry into
at least two Greer homes
in order to look for nar-
cotics, has been arrested.
Christine Parker Deyoung,
48, of 709 Joines Court,
has been charged with im-
personating an officer.
According to incident
reports obtained from
The Spartanburg County
Sheriffs Office, Deyoung
went to an address on Wa-
terwheel Street last Tues-
day and told a resident
at the home she was an
undercover officer with
the Spartanburg County
Sheriffs Office and she
needed to check the home
for narcotics. The victim
let Deyoung inside the
residence and advised her
there were no narcotics in-
side the residence.
Deyoung then began ask-
ing the victim if he knew
of anyone in the neigh-
borhood who may have
narcotics or prescription
drugs. Deyoung then left
the residence and went to
a residence on Fond Hart
Street where Deyoung told
a second victim she was
with both the Department
of Social Services and The
Spartanburg County Sher-
iffs Office before asking
if she could examine the
victims prescription med-
icine. The second victim
allowed Deyoung to look
through all of her prescrip-
tion medicine. Deyoung
then left the residence in
a small white four-door
sedan.
Deyoung was arrested
early Monday morning and
transported to The Spar-
tanburg County jail. Her
bond has not yet been set.
The Greer Police Depart-
ment informed The Spar-
tanburg County Sheriffs
Office it had a similar inci-
dent in its jurisdiction last
year and provided them
with that case file.
The Spartanburg County
Sheriffs Office encourag-
es anyone who has experi-
enced a similar incident to
file a report in the jurisdic-
tion where they reside.
(Note: All information
contained in the following
blotter was taken directly
from the official incident
reports filed by the Greer
Police Department or The
Spartanburg County Sher-
iffs Office or The Green-
ville County Sheriffs Of-
fice. All suspects are to be
considered innocent until
proven guilty in the court
of law.)
GETTING TRASHED
Ricky Orlanda Jenkins,
42, of 2627 Poinsett High-
way 62, Greenville, has
been charged with open
container and being drunk
in public. Dominique Ja-
mar Parks, 23, of 1135
Valentine Lane, Greer, has
been charged with inter-
fering with police.
According to incident re-
ports, officers responded
to an address on E. Fair-
view Street in reference to
an anonymous report of
illegal gambling.
Upon arrival, officers
observed a group of six
to eight men outside the
store. Officers advised
them to leave or face a fine
for loitering.
While the men were leav-
ing, one of the men (Jen-
kins) reached into a trash-
can and removed a large
beer from inside a paper
bag. The officer stopped
Jenkins who appeared to
be intoxicated. Jenkins
was having a difficult time
standing and both of his
eyes appeared bloodshot.
The officer placed Jenkins
under arrest and then went
to the front of the store
and told other people on
the scene to leave.
At this time another of-
ficer called for assistance
because another subject
(Parks) had walked up to
his patrol car and, despite
being told four times to
leave the scene, had re-
fused. Parks continued to
be verbally noncompliant
with officers.
Parks was also placed
under arrest. Both sub-
jects were transported to
the Greer City Jail.
MULTIPLE CHARGES
Michael David Mccurdy,
41, of 219 Marcie Rush
Lane, Greer, has been
charged with simple pos-
session of marijuana,
possession of drug para-
phernalia, no proof of
insurance, faulty vehicle
equipment and driving un-
der suspension.
According to incident
reports, an officer was on
routine patrol when he ob-
served a Kia with only one
functioning headlight. The
officer initiated a traffic
stop on the vehicle and its
driver (Mccurdy). The of-
ficer learned Mccurdys li-
cense was suspended and
he was unable to produce
any proof of insurance on
the vehicle. He was placed
under arrest.
A search of his person
along with his vehicle
yielded a glass pipe and a
small amount of a green
leafy substance believed
to be marijuana. Mccurdy
was transported to the
Greer City Jail.
MALICIOUS DAMAGE
Brian Andrew Sudduth,
33, of 406 4
th
St., Greer,
has been charged with
malicious damage to real
property.
According to incident
reports, officers were dis-
patched to an address on
E. James Street in refer-
ence to a possible burglary
in progress.
Upon arrival, officers lo-
cated a subject (Sudduth)
on the front porch of the
residence and observed a
window had been broken
out. Suddeth was immedi-
ately placed into investi-
gative detention. Sudduth
claimed he had been stay-
ing at the residence with a
woman but did not know
her last name.
Police determined the
woman Sudduth was refer-
ring to was incarcerated at
the Greenville County Jail.
A person who had been
tending to the residence
then arrived on scene and
informed officers Sudduth
did not have any permis-
sion to be at the resi-
dence.
Sudduth was arrested
and transported to the
Greer City Jail.
DUS
Timothy Mcabee, 47, of
104 Locust Drive, Greer,
has been charged with
driving under suspension
(second) and possession
of drugs.
According to incident
reports, an officer was on
routine patrol when he
observed a vehicle that
matched the description of
a suspect vehicle involved
in an armed robbery in
Spartanburg County. The
officer initiated a traffic
stop on the vehicle and
its driver (Mcabee). The
officer learned Mcabees
license was suspended.
He was placed under ar-
rest and a search of his ve-
hicle yielded four pills of
methadone he didnt have
a prescription for.
The Spartanburg County
Sheriffs Office then ar-
rived on scene to investi-
gate whether he was con-
nected to the previous
armed robbery but were
unable to find evidence
that this was the case.
Mcabee was transported
to the Greer City Jail.
BURGLARY
Pamela Jo Muller, 50, of
110 E. James St., Greer,
has been charged with
burglary (second).
According to incident
reports, an officer re-
sponded to a burglary in
progress at an address on
Bennett Street. Upon ar-
rival, the officer met with
a witness who stated she
saw a white female walk
up to the residence and
remove a screen to one of
the windows before enter-
ing the residence through
the window.
Other officers arrived on
scene and ordered the sub-
ject (Muller) to come out
of the residence. She was
placed under arrest. The
residents of the home ar-
rived and told police Mull-
er did not have permission
to be on the property.
She was transported to
the Greer City Jail.
ACTIVE WARRANTS
Henry Rodney Grayson,
32, of 200 S. Beverly Lane
B102, Greer, has been
charged with failure to
appear warrant, unlawful
possession of a firearm
warrant and criminal do-
mestic violence warrant.
According to incident
reports, an officer re-
sponded to the Beverly
Apartments in regards
to arresting Grayson for
three active warrants.
Grayson had a failure to
appear warrant with Greer
Police and had warrants
in Greenville County for
unlawful possession of a
firearm and criminal do-
mestic violence.
Grayson was located and
arrested. He was trans-
ported to the Greer City
Jail and Greenville County
was notified.

The Taylors Fire and
Sewer District is in the
very early stages of what
it is calling the Mill Hill
project.
Years ago, when the mill
was active, the houses
were built on top of the
sewer system, said Saman-
tha Bartow, sewer services
director. Currently, the
sewer lines are in back-
yards or under the houses
and need to be moved
toward the road, putting
them in a public right of
way.
The way I understand
it, and looking at the re-
search, the treatment
plant was probably at
the mill, she said. So
they were the only people
that probably had indoor
plumbing.
The district is currently
checking for rock. Three
checks have been done
and rock has not been
found, Bartow said.
We cant finalize until
the rock has been deter-
mined, she said.
Once the project is un-
derway, roads that have
yet to be determined will
be closed. The project will
take about a year. The
area is near North Center
Street, off Bridges Road.
Funding the project is a
little bit of an issue, Bar-
tow said, so that when the
time comes, the district is
prepared. It will funded
by the sewer user fee over
the next several years.
With no meeting before
the budget workshop,
the commission needed
to consider expediency,
Commissioner Mark Rea
said.
Its a major project,
said Commissioner Doug
Wavle. Its capital im-
provement thats neces-
sary. Its not something
thats going to stay on
your tax bill. They need to
understand that.
The district will need
to approach Greenville
County Council, where
it will go to the finance
committee. It will then go
through three readings
and an ordinance.
The three commission-
ers voted unanimously to
proceed with the capital
improvement project.
Notifications will be
publicized once the proj-
ect nears fruition. The dis-
trict is still in the design
phase.
TFSD plans to tackle
Mill Hill project
Its capital
improvement thats
necessary. Its not
something thats
going to stay on
your tax bill.

The cable
dilemma
M
y frustration is
beginning to get the
best of me.
More than a month
ago, my wife and I made
the decision to get rid
of cable. We realized we
were spending too much
time watching television
and agreed we werent
really enjoying what we
were watching anyway.
Its been really nice, ac-
tually. You do spend more
time talking. You do find
you have more time to get
things done. Theres really
a lot to be said for making
the switch.
Except
Im kind of a huge
sports fan. If you cant tell
by my columns, stories or
general enthusiasm when
Im out at a game I love
sports.
Thats why I chose this
profession. I wanted to
do something that gave
the opportunity to be
around sports. I wanted
to track the games, talk
to the coaches and get to
know local athletes. I do
have a job that allows me
to do that, but sadly, my
sports fandom goes much
deeper.
I really didnt miss cable
until the NBA playoffs
began heating up. My fa-
vorite sport is basketball,
and the NBA provides
some of the best postsea-
son drama you can find
anywhere.
The weekend we moved
into our new house in
Greer, there were five
game sevens in the span
of a couple of days.
FIVE!
I let Shannon know,
looking at her like I was a
disappointed child whose
mom just told him he
wasnt getting dessert
after dinner. It wasnt fair.
Everyone was going to be
watching the games, and
I was stuck following the
gamecast on my phone.
On a related note:
watching games on game-
cast has to be the worst
thing imaginable for a
sports fan. Its all the
frustration about watch-
ing sports with hardly any
of the satisfaction. Its
like cereal without milk.
Sure, it still taste like
cereal, but youre sad the
whole time youre eating
it, wishing you had the
sweet flavor only milk can
provide.
This is what my life has
become. Monday night,
the Heat were in a close
battle with the Nets. I
had seen game three of
this series, only because I
agreed to do a babysitting
stint at a friends house
in exchange. (My friends
dont know this, but
they didnt have to pay
me. I would have gladly
accepted their access to
televised sporting events
as payment).
The game was a tight
one. I watched my phone
as the score continued
to say it was tied at 92.

I continued to hit the

The Eastside baseball
team has been red hot in
the post season, beating
Belton-Honea Path 8-1 last
week to advance to the
Upper State tournament.
The 18-6 Eagles have not
lost a game in the play-
offs.
Will Thorpe led the Ea-
gles in the game against
BHP, going 3-3 from the
plate, scoring a run and
recording an RBI.
The Eagles jumped on
top of the visitors in the
third, when Graham Mitch-
ell knocked in a two-run
single that gave Eastside a
2-1 lead.
Zach White and Hamil-
ton McCauly made sure
the scoring continued, bat-
ting in runs to extend the
Eagles advantage to 4-1.
Belton-Honea Path
would not be able to battle
back from there, dropping
the game by a seven-run
margin.
Eastside took on A.C.
Flora this week. Results
were not available at press
time. The Eagles are one of
four teams vying for the
Upper State crown.
Eastside will either face
Wren or Greenville in the
next round of the tourna-
ment. That game is set to
take place on Wednesday.
The winner of the Upper
State tournament will take
on the winner of the Low-
er State, which includes
Hartsville, Gilbert, Berke-

North Greenvilles new
baseball coach does not
lack experience on the dia-
mond.
Landon Powell, a Univer-
sity of South Carolina grad
and former major league
catcher, took over duties
as the Crusaders head
coach last week, and he
said he could not be more
excited.
I know these guys
havent been able to have
a lot of success these past
couple of years, and Im
excited to have the op-
portunity to help them
change that, Powell said.
I had a dad that said,
Baseball is a vehicle, not
the destination. I used to
roll my eyes at that as a
kid, but now I look back
and think how important
that message was. Its not
about the end result of
the game. Its about all the
things the game teaches
you and all the places it
will take you.
Powell was rated the sec-
ond best high school base-
ball player in the draft
by Baseball America. He
enrolled at USC, where he
played four seasons. Pow-
ell was one of the lead-
ing offensive threats for
the Gamecocks, finishing
with a career batting av-
erage of .306 as a switch-
hitting catcher, with 44
homeruns, 61 doubles and
193 RBI. The team captain
also earned multiple All-
American nods.
Its an excting day for
my family, and its an ex-
citing day for a kid who
grew up dreaming of play-
ing baseball his whole life,
Powell said. [Its great]
to now get the chance to
teach other kids the game
I love and to have a plat-
form like North Greenville
to be able to share Gods
plan for us and His glory
and His gospel. Its not
something you get to do
a whole lot. Baseball and
God dont meet up in a lot
of ways.
The former College
World Series All-Tourna-
ment team honoree holds
South Carolina records for
a catcher in career putouts
(1,768) and assists (190),
and ranked third all-time
in Gamecock history in
games played (251), in-
cluding 242 as a catcher.
Powell was drafted in the
first round, 24th overall,
in the 2004 Major League
Baseball draft by the Oak-
land Athletics. He batted
.207 in his major league
career with 13 homeruns
and 59 RBI. One of Powells
career baseball highlights
came in May of 2010,
where he caught Dallas
Bradens perfect game for
the Athletics. Powell also
had brief stints with the
Houston Astros in 2012
and the New York Mets in
2013.
Powell retired from play-
ing baseball in June and
landed his first coaching
gig at Furman University.

The Tigers fell just short
of an Upper State tourna-
ment berth this season,
and despite losing seven
seniors, head coach Travis
Henson says his teams fu-
ture remains bright.
Blue Ridge lost the first
outing in the playoffs to
Wren 4-2, and Henson
said his team was disap-
pointed.
We actually had more
base runners than they
did, had more hits and had
more runners in scoring
position, he said. They
got the runners across.
The Tigers then needed
a win against Clinton to
stay alive.
We knew we had to bat-
tle back, Henson said.
Blue Ridge hit the road
for a 3-1 win before taking
down Chapin last Wednes-
day night.
They actually took the
lead with two outs in the
bottom of the sixth, Hen-
son said. We were down
to our last inning and our
last out, but we were able
to get a hit and send it
to extra innings. We were
able to pull that one out 7-
4 in nine innings.
Despite the teams suc-
cess in bouncing back,
Wren advanced past the
Tigers to secure a spot in
the Upper State tourna-
ment.
We just kind of ran
out of gas, Henson said.
Wren hit the ball extreme-
ly well and just took it to
us. I was very proud of
our guys and the resolve
we showed with our backs
against the wall.
Henson said traveling in
the playoffs is no easy as-
signment.
Its never easy to win
on the road, and its really
tough to win on the road
in the playoffs, Henson
said. For our guys to do
that is a big time experi-
ence. To get to the district
championship is a lot of
fun too.
Several of the teams ad-
vancing to the Upper State
tournament got the best
of Blue Ridge during the
regular season.
Of our losses this sea-
son, six of them came
to teams that are left in
the Upper State (Green-
ville, Wren and Eastside),
Henson said. Its hard
to say whos the best.
Wren is very good, but
its really wide open.
Henson knows he will have
some holes to fill next sea-
son.
We lose a good bit,
Henson said. We had
seven seniors and three of
them were our top pitch-
ers. Thats going to be
tough to replace. We lose
a lot of good players and a
lot of good leadership, but
thats high school base-
ball.
Ive had teams where
you lose a lot of players
and think, man, my cup-
board is bare here, but its
really not, he said. I real-
ly like the team well have
next season as well, al-
though were losing some
good players. I think we
could make another solid
run next year.
During the offseason,
Blue Ridge players will
condition and practice as
often as possible.
Our guys are kind of all
over the place during the
summers, but well have a
fall baseball team, Henson
said. We get some winter
workouts and well do a
lot of conditioning. Thats
going to be the key for us
to make a run next season.
Were going to have to
continue to work hard and
not be satisfied.

The Byrnes softball team
is tearing through the
playoffs, and head coach
Brandi Aiken said the Lady
Rebels are continuing to
take it one game at a time.
The Lady Rebels defeat-
ed Laurens 10-6 last week
to win the district and ad-
vance to the Upper State
tournament. Byrnes then
topped Clover 6-5, despite
heading in to the final in-
ning down 5-0.
Obviously weve played
really well so far, Aiken
said. Clover was huge win
for us.
Byrnes faced a matchup
with Mauldin or North-
western on Tuesday, but
results were not available
at press time.
We lost twice to Mauld-
in and finished second in
the region, Aiken said.
Northwestern won their
region and they have a
very good pitcher and
catcher. Obviously, this
time of year, the four of us
that are left are very tal-
ented teams.
Despite remaining unde-
feated in the postseason,
Aiken said her team is try-
ing to keep focused.
At this point, a win is
a win, Aiken said. Weve
been fortunate enough
not to go down into the
losers bracket. We did that
last year during the Upper
State tournament, so at
this point were excited to
have won that first game.
Hopefully well be able to
continue to put ourselves
in a really good position.
The Lady Rebels saw
playoff success last year,
but came up just short of
the teams ultimate goal.
Last year, we were one
or two games away from
playing for the state title,
but were trying to take it
one game at a time, Aiken
said. I think they realize
that, throughout the sea-
son, weve set small goals
and weve been able to
achieve those. Hopefully
they will be able to see
that and continue to move
us closer to where we want
to be.
Aiken said she saw re-
siliency from her squad
against Clover, who threat-
ened to hand the Rebels
their first loss in the sev-
enth inning of Saturdays
game.
Weve played really
well and we havent given
up, Aiken said. We were
able to score six runs in
the seventh on Saturday,
which was huge. They be-
lieve that they have a shot
until the out is made. We
had one bad inning against
Clover and we were fortu-
nate enough to battle back,
but this time of year, with
good teams, you cant re-
ally afford a bad inning.
Hopefully that was just
a fluke and well be able to
play a little bit better de-
fense throughout the play-
offs, she said.
Although Byrnes has
seen solid pitching, Aiken
said the push has been a
team effort.
Regan Messenger has
thrown really well for us
throughout the playoffs,
but its not coming from
one place at this point
Aiken said. The hits and
the runs are spread out
through the lineup.

Twelve

BY BILLY CANNADA
SPORTS EDITOR
Riverside coach Tra-
vis Pitman did not see his
teams season end the way
he would like, but said he
feels good about his ex-
perienced roster heading
into the summer.
Pitman will return 12 se-
niors in the fall.
Were going to be pret-
ty tough again next year,
which is pretty exciting,
he said.
The Warriors stumbled
into the playoffs, eventu-
ally losing to Northwest-
ern in the opening round.
We started out the sea-
son really strong playing
very good baseball, Pit-
man said. We had one
week where we had By-
rnes, Boiling Springs and
Spartanburg all in the
same week, and they ac-
tually swept those teams.
Right there towards the
end we didnt play our
best baseball.
We didnt play bad, he
said. But, we just didnt
play our best and we ran
up on a couple of teams
that were peaking at the
right time. It was just
a tough last five or six
games.
Despite the late season
mishaps, Pitman said he
was proud of the effort his
guys showed.
We were very proud of
guys, Pitman said. They
were able to make the
playoffs this year, which
is tough, especially in our
region. We had a team bat-
ting average this year that
was 50 or 60 points higher
than weve had in past sea-
sons. As a whole, we really
made great strides.
Pitman said his team
continues to improve, and
hopes they will continue
forward in the offseason.
From last season to
this season, Ive just seen
big strides, Pitman said.
Hopefully, well improve
even more and I think our
guys will. Were looking
forward to next year al-
ready.
For Riverside, the sum-
mer will mean a lot of time
in the weight room.
Getting in the weight
room is really important,
Pitman said. Well start
lifting weights consis-
tently as a team probably
within the next couple of
weeks. Usually in the sum-
mers, I back off on the
baseball and we mainly
focus on our speed and
strength training. When
school starts back in the
fall, as soon as the high
school league lets us, well
crank it back up and start
practicing.
Those returning will also
spend a lot of time on the
diamond, gaining experi-
ence and getting ready to
make another run next
season.
All my returning guys
are playing either legion
with Greer or on travel
teams, Pitman said.
Thats always a positive.
When we come back in the
fall, were going to have 12
seniors. Next year, theyre
probably not going to like
it as much, but Im going
to expect a lot more out of
them.

After winning six of its
last 10, the Greer baseball
team saw its season come
to an abrupt end.
For head coach Bob
Massullo, the teams stel-
lar performance late in
the year was too little too
late.
At the end of the sea-
son, we started playing
good baseball all the way
around, Massullo said.
We were pitching well
and hitting well and loving
it. It was just too late.
I didnt do anything dif-
ferent, he said. I dont
know if the kids just de-
cided they were going to
buy in, but it was just a
little bit too little too late.
We had to depend upon
too many other factors to
get us into the playoffs
and those things didnt
follow through.
The Yellow Jackets
opened the season on a
losing skid.
We started out pretty
doggone slow, Massullo
said. We were 2-2 in the
preseason tournament
and lost nine in a row af-
ter that. We were 2-11,
but the last two weeks, we
got hot. I dont know what
happened.
Massullo will need to
find some guys to step
into vacancies during the
offseason.
I lost eight guys, Mas-
sullo said. The eight guys
I lost, Im going to miss
them. I lost two outfield-
ers, a catcher. I do have
my leading hitter for the
last two years coming
back. Ive got some pret-
ty good batting averages
coming back, but the thing
I need most coming back
is a catcher. I need one of
my JV catchers to step up
and take charge.
Greer thrived at catcher
this season.
One of our shortcom-
ings this year was that my
best catcher was also one
of my best pitchers, Mas-
sullo said. I couldnt have
him pitching because I
needed him on the plate.
Despite all the team has
lost, Massullo said he feels
confident about the guys
coming back.
I do have some good
players coming back,
Massullo said. We were 6-
4 in the last 10 games and
I had some guys that con-
tinued to get better. We
just started scoring more
runs and getting timely
hits. If they can just work
hard in the offseason, play
a lot of ball and get some
more experience under
their belt, well be pretty
good.
The Yellow Jackets will
spend the summer in the
weight room and on the
diamond.
Theyll get an offseason
weight program, Massul-
lo said. Most of my kids
play summer ball all the
way up until school starts
again. They walk around
all summer with a bat in
their hand, well just see
what they do with it.

They entered the pre-
season ranked No. 1 in the
state and thats exactly
how they finished.
The Eastside boys soc-
cer team heads into post-
season play as the team
to beat in Class AAA. The
Eagles faced Belton-Honea
Path in the opening round
on Tuesday, but results
were not available at press
time.
Head coach Bill Martin
said finishing the regular
season strong was one of
the Eagles goals.
That was our first goal,
Martin said. We wanted to
be No. 1 in the state and
come in with the top seed.
That gives us home field
advantage and it was one
of our preliminary goals. It
was what we set out to do,
and it was good for them
to set a goal thats hard to
achieve and then achieve
it.
We knew that we were
probably favorites to fin-
ish high in the rankings,
but theres nothing like
setting a high goal and hit-
ting it, he said.
Martin said he did not
know a lot about BHP
heading into Tuesday.
I dont know a lot about
[BHP], but thats kind of
the funny thing about
high school soccer, Mar-
tin said. Youre going to
see a lot of teams that you
dont always see. Youre
never going to see a lot of
common opponents.
Martin said his guys can-
not afford to worry about
other teams if they want
to make a successful run
at a championship.
Were going to play
Eastside Eagle soccer and
were going to make them
deal with us, Martin said.
Were not changing for-
mations or do anything to
adjust to teams. Theyre
going to have to adjust
for us. Were just going to
play our game.
Despite blowing through
the regular season, Martin
said he has seen steady im-
provement from his squad
throughout the year.
I think we get better
every time we play and
Im seeing good growth
all over the field, Martin
said. I feel like our backs
and our midfielders are
a little better every time.
I feel like were scoring
more goals every time we
go out. Thats what we
need. I lot of teams kind
of plateau, but we seem to
get better every time we
go out there. These guys
are just working hard ev-
ery time they get a chance
to play.
Being No. 1 comes with
its fair share of pressure,
but Martin and group say
they do not feel any of it.
I dont feel [any pres-
sure], Martin said. I
think the only pressure is
the fear of underachieving.
We think were one of the
best teams in the state and
I think a lot of people are
going to run at us really
hard. If we play our game
and play our style, we
have as good of a chance
as anybody does.
Eastside could face a
potential second round
matchup with Chapin or
Woodruff.
I can see Chapin com-
ing out of the middle part
of the state. Weve done
a little bit of research on
those guys, he said. I
could honestly see us play-
ing either Berea or Green-
ville again, quite frankly.
We know those teams and
theyre very good and very
well-coached.
Whatever the next round
brings, Martin said his
guys will be ready.
I think theyre excited,
Martin said. Ive seen a lot
of the seniors take leader-
ship. They dont want to
take anything for granted.
They want to finish strong.
Theyre excited about leav-
ing a legacy and being suc-
cessful.
The Eastside girls soccer
team is also a No. 1 seed
heading into the postsea-
son.
I think it speaks a lot
about Eastside soccer in
general, Martin said. The
two programs worked
hard to coordinate this
year and I think it speaks
to how serious this school
takes soccer. Theres just
a history of excellence at
Eastside thats exciting to
be a part of. Its not just
the boys, its the girls.
Martin said his team
controls its own destiny.
Theyre really taking
ownership of the oppor-
tunity, he said. They
have a great chance to be
successful as a team and
theyre driving it. We just
have to play our game. I
think if we play the way
we like to play, were the
team to beat.
GREER
The Greer boys soccer
team thought the season
was over.
The Yellow Jackets were
coming off a regular sea-
son loss to Blue Ridge
and it did not look like
the playoffs were in sight.
Instead, Greer traveled
to Seneca Tuesday night
to take on the Bobcats in
the first round as a No. 4
seed.
[Seneca] has been a
good team for the past
two or three years, Greer
soccer coach Jorge San-
tos said. They havent
lost too many games and
theyve been consistently
ranked. Really, were go-
ing in there with nothing
to prove. Weve made it to
the playoffs. Were a young
team. Were just going to
go out there and have fun
and see if we can play up
to our potential.
Santos said his team was
unsure of its fate in the
final week of the regular
season.
I think theyre just
excited, Santos said.
Thursday night when we
played Blue Ridge, all of
us thought our season was
over. We lost and we as-
sumed Pickens would beat
Southside and Pickens
would go to the playoffs.
We thought we were done,
so this gave them that ex-
tra life, I guess. They just
want to go out there and
see what theyre capable
of doing.
Greer picked up some
key wins down the stretch
to give itself the push it
needed to secure a playoff
berth.
Toward the end of the
season, we had to win
four straight, Santos said.
With my boys being so
young, Ive been impressed
with what theyve been
able to accomplish this
season. To come out with
a 9-9 record, compared
to a 4-13 record that we
had last season, its been
great.
Results of the Seneca
game were not available
at press time, but regard-
less of the outcome, San-
tos said his guys will be a
force to be reckoned with
in the days ahead
In the next two years,
were going to be a team
to look out for, Santos
said. A lot of my boys are
starting to get into club.
Theyre getting better and
theyre learning more of
the game. Were starting
to get a lot more top-notch
soccer players at the high
school and I think that will
help us make the playoffs
the next two years.
RIVERSIDE
The Warriors enter the
postseason with a No. 3
seed, taking on Northwest-
ern in the opening round
on Tuesday night.
Results of that game
were not available at press

If Riverside were to

face either Irmo or Easley
in the second round.

Bounce
back from
loss

SPORTS EDITOR
The Eastside girls soccer
team bounced back from a
tough loss to Greenville in
the regular season finale,
shutting out Belton-Honea
Path in the first round of
the Class AAA state play-
offs.
Eagle coach Andy Robin-
son knows what it is like
to hold other teams score-
less. His girls have done
it 18 other times this sea-
son.
The girls came out
and scored in the first 62
seconds, Robinson said.
They really came out and
set the tempo and it was
just downhill from there.
They did some nice things
and we were able to get a
lot of people in the game
and keep some fresh legs
for Wednesday.
Coming off its first re-
gion loss of the season,
Robinson did not know
how his girls would re-
spond.
We never know what to
expect in the first round,
Robinson said. To be at
home and to start gearing
up for the playoffs and to
see how far we can go, it
was great.
Robinson said the Green-
ville game provided much-
needed focus.
Playing Greenville last
Thursday really kind of
refocused them and gave
them a renewed drive,
Robinson said. That game
put things in perspective
and helped us think about
taking things one game at
a time.
Heading through the
playoffs, Robinson knows
his teams No. 1 seed will
not be enough to win a
state title.
Youve always got to
have a little bit of luck,
but most importantly, you
have to come in and do
what youve been doing
all season, Robinson said.
Sometimes thats hard,
when youre being suc-
cessful, to stay focused on
the task at hand.
Robinson said teams will
be gunning for the Eagles
throughout the postsea-
son, but believes his squad
is ready.
Theres definitely a
bullseye on your back and
they know it, Robinson
said. Taking one on the
chin to Greenville really
decompressed that a lot.
I think if we had won, it
would have added some
pressure, but it just shows
you that anybody can beat
anybody.
If Greenvilles not ready,
somebody could beat them
and if were not ready,
somebody could beat us,
he added. Thats why this
is such a great time of the
year. This is a team thats
focused and will not be de-
nied. Theyre driven to do
what they want to do and
accomplish.
Although he likes to con-
template potential match-
ups, Robinson said he has
tried to keep his team fo-
cused on the task in front
of them.
You kind of look at it
and its like March Mad-
ness, Robinson said of
the playoff bracket. You
wonder who is going to be
the Cinderella or the up-
set. Thats we always like
to take it one game at a
time. I know people dont
like to hear that, but thats
really a discipline that our
team has embraced.
Robinson said Eastside
cannot afford to go into
any game thinking it has
an easy win.
There is no tomor-
row, he said. If we do
something dumb and B-HP
sticks one in on us and we
cant score, our season is
done. We really talk about
that there is no tomor-
row.
The Eastside boys soc-
cer team is also boasting a
No. 1 seed coming into the
playoffs.
[Eastside coach] Bill
[Martin] has done a great
job with the boys program
and its great to have him
on board and see all the
things hes doing, Rob-
inson said. Weve got to
pull for each other. Its
a big family and we both
want one another to be
successful. Its a pretty
cool thing.
The Eagles will face sec-
ond-ranked A.C. Flora in
round two.
We have to stay fo-
cused, Robinson said.
They have the potential,
but theyve got to show
up and play the game. We
have to leave everything
on the field.
BLUE RIDGE
The Blue Ridge girls
soccer team enters the as
a No. 3 seed, facing Seneca
in round one on the road.
The results of that game
were not available at press
time.
If the Lady Tigers were
to advance, they would be
looking at a matchup with
either Dreher or Woodruff
in round two, which is
slated for Wednesday.
RIVERSIDE
The Lady Warriors cap-
tured a No. 3 seed in the
postseason, facing a first
round matchup with No.
2 ranked Lancaster in the
opening round.
Results of that game
were not available at press
time.
If Riverside were to ad-
vance, the team would
face Irmo in the second
round on Wednesday.

His responsibilities at Fur-
man include hitting in-
structor, as well as interim
pitching coach. He will
finish the season with the
Paladins.
It was a way to keep my
foot in the door, Powell
said of his time at Furman.
It allowed my family to
recover and grieve the sit-
uation wed gone through
with losing our daughter.
To have this opportu-
nity to keep my family in
Greenville and, for us to
be in a great environment
where community and
faith surround us is some-
thing were very grateful
for.
Powell said he will stick
to small ball at North
Greenville.
I came from of program
at South Carolina that was
what they called gorilla
ball, Powell said. We just
hoped to outscore the
other team and, as much
as that was a fun style of
baseball, thats not really
the way the game is played
now. You really have to
play smaller baseball in
college now. You have to
move runners and you
really have to have good
pitching.
Although he has not had
the chance to get to know
his team yet, Powell said
he is already setting goals.
Were going to try to
glorify God with what we
do, he said. Were going
to have fun with what we
do, but were going to be
there to win. Thats going
to be our ultimate goal,
to bring home champion-
ships for this university.

of their choice out of
the beneficiaries selected
by South Carolina Chari-
ties, Inc.
The charity Pro-Am gen-
erated $731,152 in chari-
table donations. Since
2001, the tournament has
distributed more than
$9.98 million to more than
150 charities, putting the
tournament on the road to
raising $10 million after
the 2014 tournament. The
PGA TOUR is set to reach
a milestone of $2 billion
raised for charity during
the 2014 season.
The charities selected
this year include: 100
Black Men of the Upstate,
A Childs Haven, Child
Evangelism Fellowship
- Greenville, Child Evan-
gelism Fellowship - Spar-
tanburg, Dogs for Autism,
The First Tee of Greenville,
Greenville Family Part-
nership, Greenville Tech
Foundation, Habitat for
Humanity of Greenville
County, Harvest Hope
Food Bank, JDRF - Greater

dation, Ronald McDonald
House Charities of the
Carolinas, Scottish Rite
Foundation, Set Free Alli-
ance, Shriners Hospitals
for Children - Greenville,
and The Walker Founda-
tion for the SC School for
the Deaf and Blind.
The charities cover a
broad range, MacDonald
said. We dont have an
open application very of-
ten because our charities
want to come back. Some
of them will get gifts as lit-
tle as $5,000, but it will be
$5,000 that is very impor-
tant to them. Others may
get around $75,000. It just
depends on their level of
participation.
The pro-am is broadcast
around the world for four
days. A total of 2.9 million
people tuned into Golf
Channels coverage of the
2013 tournament.
Since 2001 more than
109 celebrities have partic-
ipated in the tournament,
including: Kurt Russell,
Wayne Gretzky, Catherine
Bell, Kevin Costner and
Dennis Quaid.
Twelve of our 25 celeb-
rities are first-time partici-
pants, MacDonald said.
Thats rare for us because
the celebrities that usually
participate want to come
back.
Youth ages 14 and
younger will be admit-
ted free, as well as active
and retired members of
the military. One hundred
and fifty percent of ticket
sales go to the charities
selected.
Its unique, MacDonald
said. Its more than golf.
Its just going to be fun
time. There are so many
cool things that happen
in the Upstate and this is
just another one of those
fun weeks.

A SPORTING VIEW
BY MARK VASTO
T
heres been a lot of
talk about college ath-
letes banding together
in some sort of union
which, as we all know,
would seem to take better
care of the kids financial
interests during their
collegiate careers. For
instance, why shouldnt
a college athlete who is
the face of a marketing
campaign be compensat-
ed above and beyond the
value of his or her tuition
and scholarship benefits?
You gotta give the kids
a little walking-around
money. This whole wait
until you graduate idea
... the wait until after we
ride you for countless
sellout games and mer-
chandise sales and then
youll make millions... is
sending the wrong mes-
sage to our youth, and
it smacks in the face the
very concept of capital-
ism. As we learned in col-
lege -- or for some of you,
in jail -- its that when you
have not, you look for
the haves and you make
a deal.
Jameis Winston, like
many Floridians, likes sea-
food. In Florida, the catch
is always succulent and
fresh. It transfers from
the sea to your plate in a
few hours, max. Mr. Win-
ston, the Heisman Trophy
winner and quarterback
of the National Champi-
onship team, found that
as said persona, people
wanted to be his friend.
One of those guys ap-
parently was in charge of
the seafood counter at his
local grocer because the
other day, Mr. Winston
tried to leave the store
with 4 pounds of shell-
fish without paying for it,
and in such a way that it
looked like he had maybe
done it before, like maybe
seafood is on the house
for Heisman Trophy win-
ners in that area. When
questioned by deputies,
the young scholar simply
explained that he forgot
to pay.
See, it would have been
better for him if he had
just said he didnt expect
to pay. Saying he forgot to
pay just makes him look
like an idiot. The knock
on Jameis Winston is his
field smarts ... apparently
he doesnt have any street
smarts, either. Forget the
education he received
at Florida State, the first
time we learn anything
in America is during the
most crucial of our forma-
tive years: the time we
spent in the back seat of a
grocery cart.
For there is where we
learned that all the things
you want or desire are
right there, tantalizingly
almost within your grasp.
But youre strapped to
your chair. Your mommy
or daddy says no. Then
its on to the crucible
... the actual checkout
aisle, where all of the
last-chance candy is laid
out in neat little boxes.
For the parent, this is
the moment they get to
openly display their train-
ing prowess. Its a little
like a dog show in that
regard. The parent is be-
ing judged by everyone in
line. Its brutal. But it also
is where a child under-
stands that, yes, things
cost money.
Jameis Winston, no lon-
ger touted as one of the
hot picks in the NFL draft,
may have forgotten that,
but hes about to learn
that failure to pay for
those $32 worth of mud
bugs will cost him in a
much bigger way after all.
SOFTBALL PLAYERS
EARN ACCOLADES
The postseason honors
continue to roll in for the
North Greenville softball
team, as three other Cru-
saders have been given
All-Conference and All-Re-
gion honors.
Conference Carolinas
coaches honored sopho-
more Jordan Farmer for
her solid performance at
the conference tourna-
ment. In her two games at
the tournament, Farmer
was 4-5 at the plate with a
pair of walks and an RBI.
Farmer finished the sea-
son third on the Crusaders
team with a .323 average,
pounding 42 hits, includ-
ing five home runs, four
doubles and a triple. She
also accounted for 26 RBI
and 22 runs scored.
Also finding themselves
on another postseason
awards list are senior Ra-
chel Glazebrook and ju-
nior Sarah Armstrong. The
two were named National
Christian Collegiate Ath-
letic Association [NCCAA]
All-Region players.
Rachel Glazebrook was
the leader for North Green-
ville both at the plate and
on the mound during the
2014 campaign. Glaze-
brook boasted a 1.44 ERA
this season, allowing just
38 earned runs all year.
Glazebrook gave up less
than a hit per inning dur-
ing the season, and was
second in Conference Car-
olinas with 258 strikeouts.
She also led the Crusaders
during 2014 at the dish,
claiming a .372 average
with four home runs and a
team leading 31 RBI.
Armstrong finished
with a .329 batting aver-
age, spending much of the
season as the leadoff bat-
ter for the Crusaders. She
led North Greenville with
51 hits from the one hole,
including a team lead-
ing four triples, and 34
runs scored. She also hit a
home run and accounted
for 14 RBI.
The Crusaders finished
the season 29-17 overall
and 11-5 in league play.
MARTINO SIGNS
NFL CONTRACT
Former North Greenville
football standout wide
receiver Freddie Martino
has signed a free agent
contract with the NFLs At-
lanta Falcons.
Martino was a four-year
starter for the Crusaders,
leading the team in recep-
tions and yards in each
season, including two sea-
sons of more than 1,000
receiving yards.
Since the 2010 sea-
son, Martino played in 48
games, catching 296 pass-
es for 3,766 yards and 26
touchdowns while also
scoring five times on the
ground, cementing him-
self in the record books at
North Greenville.
In 11 games during the
2013 season, the North
native totaled a NCAA
Division II record 146 re-
ceptions for an average of
13.3 receptions per game.
Martino also set the school
record for receiving yards
in a season with 1, 680
and found the end zone
12 times.
The Atlanta Falcons did
not take a wide receiver in
the 2014 NFL draft, instead
focusing on needs primar-
ily along the offensive line
and on the defensive side
of the ball. Martino will
compete for a spot on the
squad that currently had
just seven wide receivers
under contract, including
Roddy White and Julio
Jones.
NFL training camps are
allowed to begin in mid-
July with the Atlanta Fal-
cons training camp taking
place in Flowery Branch,
Ga.
50-INNING
BASEBALL GAME

for the upcoming season,
the Greer American Legion
Post 115 baseball team
will host a 50-inning game
that will be free and open
to the public on May 17.
The game will take place
at Greer High School. Each
player will start with a full
count, and will receive one
pitch. Those wishing to
attend are encouraged to
sponsor a player. For more
information, contact head
coach Paul Kontowsky at
640-5851.

Riverside Highs speech
and debate coaches ex-
pected to send a few stu-
dents to the national tour-
nament in Kansas but
they didnt expect to send
more than a dozen.
This year, 14 students
qualified for the National
Speech & Debate Tourna-
ment June 14-21 in Kan-
sas. Last year, five stu-
dents went and six is the
most Riverside has ever
sent. This years team has
47 students total.
Our number one objec-
tive is to pay for them to
go to as many competi-
tions as we can. We won
the state tournament.
Thats the goal, said Greg
Cook, one of the coaches.
Then we assume at least
some people will go to the
national tournament. In
order to give as
many k i d s
as much opportunity as
we can, thats where most
of the fundraising goes to,
for those students to go
on the trips. This was nice,
but it was unexpectedIf
you have to have a prob-
lem, its a good problem
to have.
The cost is about $750
per student.
The national tourna-
ment is the largest aca-
demic tournament in the
world, with 24 students
from each district at-
tending, Cook said. South
Carolina is its own dis-
trict, but larger states like
Texas and California have
several districts.
The top 3,500 speech
and debate students will
come together to com-
pete.
We have a lot of people
and not a lot of time,
Cook said of raising mon-
ey. Its a challenge.
Between now and the
tournament, the students
will continue
to pre-
pare their pieces and rais-
ing money through bake
sales, a showcase event
and soliciting donations
from civic organizations
and others.
All the tournaments
are finished except this
one, so its all practice,
which is hard because we
have so many seniors and
they have all these other
senior obligations AP ex-
ams, graduation and hav-
ing fun because theyre se-
niors, Cook said. When
everyone else is out there
going to these parties and
here there are, working on
their national pieces.
The last resort would
be to dip into next years
funding, he said.
Our major concern is
not just the na-
tional tournament, but
its making sure theres
enough money left for the
beginning of next year so
that we dont use every-
thing we have in the bud-
get now, so that when we
have a bunch of freshman
and new students start
in the fall, their options
arent limited, Cook said.
Coach David Deseja
hopes his students leave
with the ability to commu-
nicate clearly.
[It] seems so simple, but
if it was, why is it listed as
everyones top fear in life
or one of the top fears in
life? Deseja said. The
ability to see things from
somebody elses point of
view, whether its a char-
acter or another side of a
debate resolution, I think
thats the biggest chal-
lenge, not just in speech
and debate. I think thats
the biggest challenge of
the entire millennial gen-
eration.
Seniors Hiba Kouser and
Bryce Safrit, both on the
public forum debate
side, get a new topic
every month or so
to research lead-
ing to a scholarly
debate on a cur-
rent event, not
just yelling at
each other,
Kouser said.
Theyll write pro- and
against arguments and
flip a coin with another
team to decide who takes
what side.
At the end, you end up
knowing your case better,
Kouser said. Its more
about the persuasion side
of speech and debate.
Its very content-fo-
cused, Safrit said. Its
very much presentation.
Junior Stephanie Hong
and sophomore Carol Lee,
duo interpretative part-
ners, have been working
on their piece three days
a week since October. In
duo pieces, they cant
touch each other or have
eye contact outside of the
introduction.
Their piece, Brothers
Grimm Spectaculathon, a
comedic crash course on
the more than 200 stories
the brothers made popu-
lar.
Both Hong and Lee were
encouraged by their older
siblings to join speech and
debate and both hesitated
to follow in their siblings
steps, but fell in love
with the family-like atmo-
sphere among the club.
Whats pretty cool is it
doesnt matter how good
you are in the beginning,
as long as youre willing
to work hard, Lee said.
If youre willing to do
that, then everyones wel-
come.
Donations can be made
to the Riverside Speech &
Debate Booster Club. Con-
tact Dejesa at 355-7842 or

KEEPING UP
WITH JONES
KATIE
JONES


BY KATIE JONES
STAFF WRITER
Daily Bread Ministries,
which operates the Greer
Soup Kitchen, is planning
to expand its assistance
with a homeless shelter.
The shelter will be a
three-unit faith-based
apartment facility, with
a fourth apartment for a
resident mentor, as well as
an outdoor courtyard. Its
proposed for 509-511 E.
Poinsett St.
The shelter will be a re-
habilitation center, not a
rescue, said Adam Wick-
liffe, board chairman.
There is a need for a shel-
ter in Greer, he said.
There is absolutely a
need for something to
help the homeless, he
said. The soup kitchen is
a rescue operation. What
we dont want to have is
another rescue operation.
Try to open up a massive
shelter where people can
come, they sleep at night,
they get something to eat,
and then they go right back
out on the streets during
the day. This is something
far more than that.
The shelter will be mod-
eled after the program at
Triune Mercy Center in
Greenville. Volunteers will
meet with each person or
family in the shelter and
the group leader will be a
homeless person, he said,
making them actively in-
volved in their own inter-
vention.
Were looking to get
people the skills that
they need to become em-
ployable again, to be able
to become a productive
member of society, Wick-
liffe said.
The soup kitchens vol-
unteers will be able to
quickly identify eligible
people for the shelter, he
said. Wickliffe cautioned
there are some significant
issues that the ministrys
program will not be able
to solve, like severe men-
tal illness.
There may be some-
thing where they need
further help on another
plane before we can really
intervene there, he said.
Our program would not
be as effective as it could
be. There are a lot of peo-
ple who eat at the soup
kitchen that really want to
make a change in their life
and I want to give them
that opportunity.
Theres no set timeline
at this point. Everything is
contingent upon funding,
but a total hasnt been de-
termined yet.
If construction isnt
completed by the end of
the year, I would at least
hope that construction
would have begun by then,
Wickliffe said. For all you
know, it could be August.
It could be the time were
about to close on it and
were pretty much ready
to go ahead and build it.
Its completely contingent
on funding. We could very
well, in the next month,
completely have it funded
or we could be in the mid-
dle of funding for a while
but I think the money will
definitely come.
The ministry is under
contract on the land and
is currently in the first
phase of an environmental
report.
When we built the soup
kitchen that were in now,
we pretty much did the
same thing. We talked to a
lot of people, we let them
know what we had in mind
and the donations came,
Wickliffe said. I really
think thats what will hap-
pen this time as well.
The community will con-
tinue to provide as it has
in the past, Wickliffe said.
Covenant United Method-
ist has donated $4,200
specifically toward the
homeless shelter, he said.
Information will go out to
the soup kitchens sup-
porters about the project
soon.
The response to the
homeless shelter has been
overwhelmingly positive,
according to an online sur-
vey, Wickliffe said.
Ive not met anyone yet
and I dont think I will
who has come to me and
said, You know what, this
is a bad idea, he said.
Every single person has
said, This is a tremendous
need, let me know how I
can help.

Moving

with

on up
Whos ready for a
house-hunting update?
I hope you are because
thats what youre getting
in this weeks Keeping Up
With Jones.
We are moving right
along in this home-buy-
ing process. I dont want
to say its moving slowly
but it feels like time
has slowed down signifi-
cantly.
This is probably the
most exciting and the
most terrifying thing Ive
ever done.
We had the inspec-
tion done recently and
everything looks good.
The house does need
some minor fixes the
storm door is missing
the handle, the doorbell
doesnt work but those
are easily remedied.
Our future home is a
foreclosure, so it doesnt
seem like the previous
owners put a lot of effort
into fixing up the place,
and understandably so.
The house needs some
painting.
Some painting might
be misleading. In this
house, there are reds and
blues (yes, plural), as well
as green and orange walls,
while some rooms are still
asylum white.
I dont know who lived
in the house previously or
how long its been empty,
but it is in need of some
deep cleaning.
Some of the walls are
scuffed up and the kitch-
en floor has something
sticky on it (I dont even
want to know.) Those
are both easy fixes in the
grand scheme of things.
Like easy peasy lemon
squeezy easy.
We have been fantasiz-
ing about owning a home
for years now. If you were
to look at my Pinterest
boards, you would think
we already owned one. Or
at least had an amazing
apartment (when in actu-
ality, its pretty average
and filled with hand-me-
downs and clutter).
With a house, we can
grow our own food! We
can paint and make other
permanent changes! Well
be organized and crafty!
Never again will a Jack-
O-Lantern fall off the
balcony!
Yes, just like how I go
to my apartments gym all
the time, ride the bike I
bought two summers ago
and have a thriving patio
garden.
(In case the sarcasm
doesnt come across well
in print: Ive been to my
apartments gym once, I
rarely ride my bike and I
have a plant or two that
are surviving.)
Weve also been brain-
storming about where our
furniture will go, what
well use each room for
and everything well be
able to do once we have
a yard.
Oh, the yard. The house
were under contract on
sits on a little more than
one acre. The back yard
slopes down toward the
Tyger River.
We have big plans for
this place. We want a
hammock, a garden, a
grill. We want tubes, kay-
aks and fishing gear for
river adventures.
Keep your eyes open for
a fundraiser I will most
certainly need to fund all
these projects and ideas.

Scene from A Birders Guide
to Everything
By Sam Struckhof
NEW RELEASES
FOR WEEK OF MAY 26
PICKS OF THE WEEK
A Birders Guide to Ev-
erything (PG-13) -- To 15-
year-old David (Kodi Smit-
McPhee), bird watching (or
birding) is his passion, his
lifeboat in a confusing sea
of hormones. When David
snaps a blurry photo of a
duck once thought to be
extinct, he and his friends
quest to get a clear image
before their mentor (Ben
Kingsley) can swoop in
and steal the discovery.
All of this birding excite-
ment makes a convenient
distraction from the immi-
nent remarriage of Davids
father.
As a coming-of-age
comedy, the film hits ev-
ery note. David and his
friends have the right lev-
el of quirkiness to make
authentic teenage awk-
wardness fun to watch on
screen. This is the first
feature-length offering
from director Rob Meyer,
and it shows genuine af-
fection for his characters.
Journey to the West
(PG-13) -- Stephen Chow
lands another hit, solidify-
ing his title as the master
of kung-fu comedy. In this
adaptation of a Chinese
classic, shape-shifting de-
mons, big-footed warriors,
monster fish and slap-
stick action collide into
one fun movie experience.
Xuan Zang (Wen Zhang)
is a bumbling young Bud-
dhist monk on a mission:
hunt demons from India
to China and ultimately
confront the Monkey King.
In his travels, he befriends
a rival demon-hunter, the
beautiful and ferocious
Miss Duan (Qi Shu). With
the right blend of over-
the-top animated special
effects and real-deal ac-
tion, this goofball adven-
ture can throw a punch.
Run & Jump -- A work-
ing-class Irish family faces
a difficult transition after
the father suffers a rare
frontal lobe stroke. The
once-strong patriarch of
the family is now a collec-
tion of confusing behav-
iors, unable to relate to
other people. Complicat-
ing things just a bit more
is the observer, an Ameri-
can doctor (Will Forte)
who asks to stay with the
family and document the
fathers difficult rehabili-
tation. The doctor cant
help being drawn into the
family drama. Before last
year, Forte was best known
for his work on Saturday
Night Live. Since the Os-
car nominations for the
black-and-white dark com-
edy/drama Nebraska, it
seems hes successfully
branching out into more
serious roles.
DOG OF THE WEEK
Endless Love (PG-13)
-- This remake of a novel
adaptation (thats right,
a remake of a remake)
takes Hollywoods most
boilerplate teen romance
and somehow manages
to make it even blander.
There isnt any real con-
flict or controversy sepa-
rating the young lovers,
David and Jade (Alex Pet-
tyfer and Gabriella Wilde),
except that shes rich and
hes blue-collar. They just
graduated high school,
and only recently discov-
ered that the two of them
are by far the best-look-
ing people in town. Much
of their romance consists
of the 20-something-aged
actors snuggling in good
lighting.
In the second half of the
film, however, the plot de-
vices attack. Jades father
is clueless about feelings
(but hes a heart doctor!)
and takes a villainous
stance against the purity
of Young Love.

of their past relationship.

up with a passionate way
to distract themselves.

CEO of ELQ, which did not
please Tracy. TJ overheard

conversation. Dante and

family decision. Julian set
up a meeting with Luke to
discuss the future of their

son Dylan continued to
grow. Billy was determined
to find out what Stitch was
hiding. Victor and Ian had
another tense confronta-
tion. Cane found a Bo-
naventure business card
in Colins wallet. Dylan
wondered why Stitch
knew so much about the
law. Victor asked Noah to
testify on his behalf. Kelly
and Neils blind date was
a bust. Later, Kelly won-
dered if it was fate when
she ran into Jack. Abby
was troubled by Mariahs
presence in Genoa City.
Chloe devised a plan to
steal Glorias aphrodisiac.
Kevin turned to Michael
for advice on the state of
his marriage. Neil told Hil-
ary that he wanted to go
public with their relation-
ship. Wait to See: Lily has
a chilling confrontation
with Hilary.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am
a 65-year-old male in fairly
good health. I do a bit of
running. Ive checked my
blood pressure and pulse
lately and have started
monitoring it. My pulse is
always in the 40s or low
50s. I went to the hospital
to get some blood work
done and have an EKG.
They almost didnt let me
go home. My pulse was
reading 35, so the doctor
sent me to the outpatient
department. I wore an all-
day heart-rate monitor.
It did register in the 30s
overnight. I eat right, dont
smoke and am athletic, so
my doctor couldnt recom-
mend anything. Is there a
problem with a low pulse?
When I get older, how low
will it drop? -- C.W.
ANSWER: Bradycardia
(brady for slow, car-
dia for heart) usually
is not a problem in people
who have no symptoms.
However, heart rates in
the 30s make me nervous,
and they make most car-
diologists start thinking
very seriously about pace-
makers. My colleague, Dr.
Rob Campagna, a cardiolo-
gist at Weill-Cornell, tells
me that at heart rates in
the 30s and below, most
people have symptoms,
even if they are subtle.
He also reminded me that
sleep apnea, a condition I
have written about several
times, is a cause of bra-
dycardia and ought to be
considered in people with
slow rates at nighttime.

heart rhythms explains
common heart-rhythm
disturbances in greater de-
tail. Readers can obtain a

DEAR DR. ROACH: I get
a severe reaction to bee
stings. The last time, my
arm became swollen to
the size of my leg. Is the
next bee sting likely to be
fatal? Do I need an EpiPen?
-- N.N.
ANSWER: Bee stings (or
any of the family Hyme-
noptera, including wasps,
yellow jackets and hor-
nets) cause local reactions
in the majority of people.
About 10 percent of peo-
ple have dramatic local
reactions. Fortunately, the
risk of anaphylaxis -- the
severe systemic reaction
that is responsible for 100
deaths per year in the U.S.
-- is very low in people with
local reactions. However,
it is still worthwhile to
discuss with your doctor
or an allergist, because the
symptoms of anaphylaxis
are sometimes missed.
Anyone with a history of
systemic reaction should
carry (and know how to
use!) an epinephrine injec-
tion.
Removing the stinger as
soon as possible, prefer-
ably within seconds, is a
good idea to prevent the
full injection of venom.
***
DEAR DR. ROACH: My
husband had shingles
about five years ago; when
we went in for our flu shot,
we were both encouraged
to also get the shingles
vaccine. Doesnt he have
immunity from actually
having had it? We are both
60 years old. -- J.R.
ANSWER: Even if you
have a history of shingles,
you still should get the
shingles vaccine, since it
is still possible to get shin-
gles again after having it
once.
***
Dr. Roach regrets that
he is unable to answer in-
dividual letters, but will
incorporate them in the
column whenever pos-
sible. Readers may email
questions to ToYourGood-
Health@med.cornell.edu.
