The Greer Police De-
partment is evaluating its
training range facility near
the intersection of North
Highway 101 and Memori-
al Drive Extension.
The department brought
a bid summary to council
in September, hoping to
raise the berms at the site.
After discussion, coun-
cil held over the vote and
then removed the agenda
item.
“The Greer Police De-
partment assessed the
range facility as an ongo-
ing process to ensure we
are consistently providing
a high quality training en-
vironment that meets our
needs,” said Police Chief
Matt Hamby. “Our assess-
ment resulted in the de-

return for its 39th year on

Church in Greer.
“It’s the community that
donates to it, and it’s the
community that comes
out to support it,” Gibson
said. “And, all the money
we raise goes back into the
community.”
The event, which has
become one of GCM’s big-
gest fundraisers, serves
an important purpose of
funding the ministry’s
four outreach programs.
“People might not have
as much money during
this time of year, so the
need is there,” Gibson
said. “Our community

is becoming so important.
“The best way to help is

she said. “Every $20 you
spend feeds a Meals on

Even if you just come eat

Six general contractors
are vying for the bid on
Greer’s upcoming down-

The contractors at-
tended a mandatory pre-

month, and a decision will
be made in the coming
weeks.
“We have requested ad-

each of those six relative
to their qualifications for
a project of this type,”
said City Administrator Ed
Driggers.
“We will move into bid

The event, set for Nov.

“Every penny we receive
goes to purchasing toys,”
Holtzclaw added. “We

a goal, we just try to do

end of the day, if we bring

toys than we had.”
Holtzclaw said one area
of need this year is toys
for children ages 10-12.
“People tend to buy
toys for the little kids, but
there’s always a need for
10-12 year olds as well,”
he said. “That’s proba-
bly our biggest need each
year.”
The drive will last from
2-4 p.m. next Sunday.

n the 20 years that I have lived here, I
have yet to see a single trick-or-treater
come to my door.
Not one.
At first, I thought perhaps parents
had finally woken to the fact that what
is gleefully allowed on Halloween rather
flies in the face of responsible child
rearing: encouraging one’s flesh and
blood to go into the night with other
children to unfamiliar homes and take
candy from complete strangers who, like
paying off the mob for protection, bow
to extortion for the fear of an egg or
toilet paper retaliation.
Then a friend of mine pointed out the
obvious.
“Well, good Lord, look at the length of
your driveway!” she exclaimed. “What
kid is going to walk down that?”
It should be said that my driveway is
an unpaved tenth of a mile long. There
are no lights to guide one’s way, and the
house cannot be seen from our quiet
country street.
What’s creepier, more fun than that?

“Are you telling me that kids won’t

“Course not,” she chirped. “Parents

That stung because my house is

EDITORIAL
Who is to blame after
week of violence in US?
Who is to blame after a week of shootings and
tragedy?
Who is responsible?
That’s the question being asked after a rather
disturbing week of attacks and threats against
innocent Americans.
We’ve seen shootings at a high school, grocery
store and a Pittsburgh synagogue. These events
came just days after bombs were mailed to mul-
tiple political figures on the left.
Although each news cycle tends to divide the
country a little more, this feels different. And
the vast majority of mainstream media outlets
are making it known who they feel is responsi-
ble—our president.
Pointing to edgy rhetoric and constant attacks
on political opponents, media members are
making the not-so-subtle suggestion that Presi-
dent Trump has created the environment where
these attacks are possible.
But since this isn’t our first rodeo dealing
with devastating news cycles as a nation, we can
take some time before addressing who really
deserves blame after incidents like this. Spoiler
alert: it’s not just one person.
First and foremost, we must blame the radical-
ized individuals that carried out these attacks.
Violent hatred has no place in any society, and
we should not glance over these disturbed indi-
viduals to make a political point that supports
our beliefs. The attacks were carried out by sick
people, and they alone must be assigned the
consequences.
However, since our political climate is not so
simple, we can think of ways to improve our
unity as a nation.
CNN (and other mainstream outlets) says the
tone of political discourse has to be set at the
top. By this, they mean President Trump.
And they aren’t totally wrong. The president
could do a lot less tweeting and talking, and it
would bring the temperature down for lack of
material. He could give more carefully written

Gatherings
F
all can be a very busy time of
the year with many gather-
ings.
This past weekend, Brad and
I enjoyed the cold, rainy Friday
together before two full days
with family and friends.
Saturday, we spent the day
with my family.
We ate breakfast and watched
my younger brother, older sister
and dad open birthday gifts.
While the guys took my
younger brother’s car to get an
oil change, I took a walk with
my younger brother’s wife.
We also spent time playing a
new game my dad received.
That evening, we attended my
parents’ church’s annual hay-
 | ride near Lake Robinson.
We played corn hole and
ladder golf as well as threw the
football some, ate dinner and
took a hayride at the golden
hour as the sun set.
Back at my parents’ place,
we played some bridge before
heading home.
Sunday, we listened in Sunday

educating first responders
on how to manage the sit-

“I get goose bumps just
thinking about it because
it’s a very real life sce-
nario,” said Misty Wise,
SC811 Executive Director.
“I think it really resonates
with folks what the impor-
tance of calling 811 is.”
This demonstration was
the second one in South
Carolina with the first one
in Columbia last October.
“We do plan to do one
in the low country next,”
Wise said. “We’re trying to
do at least one a year.”
“We want to do more of
these,” she said. “The loca-
tions are hard to get.”
Every nine minutes an
underground utility line
is damaged because some-
one decided to dig without
calling 811 first.
“Call before you dig,”
Wise said. “It’s important.
It’s a free service. It’s es-
sential for homeowners or
anyone who’s doing any
kind of excavation proj-
ect.”
When calling 811, home-
owners and contractors
are connected to SC811,
the local one call center,
which notifies the appro-
priate utility companies of
their intent to dig.
Professional locators are
then sent to the requested
digging site to mark the
approximate locations of
underground lines with
flags, paint or both.
Striking a single line can
cause injury, repair costs,
fines and inconvenient
outages.

woman told deputies that
Casey shot her. She was

The victim stated at the

Two years after their de-

least 19 Tube Dudes can

limits.
With the downtown
streetscape project draw-
ing closer, a construction
dude with a hardhat and
giant hammer will be mo-
bilized to set up wherev-
er construction is taking
place.
“The construction tube
dude will be used during
the streetscape project
and moved throughout,
depending on where con-
struction is taking place,”
said Ann P. Cunningham,
Director of Parks and
Recreation for the City of
Greer.
Other dudes are in the
shop for maintenance and

“The jogger in City Park,
the baseball player from

from Kids Planet are cur-

A8 THE GREER CITIZEN 
Crime
Report
(Note: All information
contained in the following
was taken directly from
the official incident reports
filed by the City of Greer
Police Department. All
suspects are to be consid-
ered innocent until proven
guilty in the court of law.)
POSSESSION
Brandon David Simons,
20, of Greer has been
charged with simple pos-
session of marijuana (first
offense) and possession of
Schedule IV drugs.
According to an incident
report, on Oct. 17 at 6:20
p.m., two officers respond-
ed to the apartments lo-
cated at 3000 Daventry
Circle in reference to two
subjects unconscious in a
silver Ford Escape.
They located that vehi-
cle near building 12 and
arrived at the same time
as Greer Fire Department
personnel.
The complainant was
standing nearby on the
sidewalk with his dog, and
he stated that he saw the
two men in the vehicle and
attempted to wake them.
The complainant stated
that when he could not
wake them he called 911.
One of the officers ob-
served a white male wear-
ing a red shirt seated in
the front passenger seat.
The male was slumped
over in the seat, and his
head was nearly touching
the center console.
A second light skinned
male in a multicolored
shirt was seated in the
rear passenger side seat
directly behind the male
in the red shirt.
The front window of the
vehicle was rolled down,
and the doors were un-
locked.
Greer firefighters
opened the doors and be-
gan attempting to wake
the occupants.
As neither occupant was
rousing, Greer FD admin-
istered Narcan nasally to
both occupants.
At this point, they woke
and appeared unaware of
what was going on.
While FD was working
on the two males, the of-
ficer observed three open
beer containers in the
front passenger compart-
ment around the male in
the red shirt, now identi-
fied as Brandon Simons.
The officer could also
detect the odor of mari-
juana coming from the in-
terior of the vehicle.
Based on these observa-
tions, he had Simons exit
the vehicle.
At this time, another of-
ficer arrived on the scene.
An officer conducted a
search of Simons’ person
and located a clear bag of
green plant material that
smelled of marijuana in
his pants pocket.
Nothing else was in his
pockets.
Simons’ was placed into
handcuffs at this time and
instructed to sit on the
curb.
The officers then had
the rear seat passenger to
exit the car.
No items of contra-
band were located upon a
search of the passenger’s
person.
He was also instructed
to sit next to Simons.
Both occupants were
medically cleared by both
Greer FD and Greenville
County EMS.
The officer informed
both Simons and the pas-
senger that they would be
conducting a search of the
vehicle.
As this time, Simons
asked to speak privately
with an officer.
They walked a short dis-
tance away, and another
officer heard Simons tell
the other officer that there
was a small bag of pills in
the front passenger door
pocket next to where Si-
mons had been seated.
That officer conducted
a complete search of the
vehicle, and other than the
open beer containers, the
only item located was the
bag of pills that Simons
had mentioned to the of-
ficer.
The bag of green plant
material and the bag of
Police and Fire
pills was seized.
Simons was informed
that he was under arrest
for the marijuana and the
pills.
He was transported to
the Greer City Jail.
One officer told the
other that Simons made
comments regarding own-
ership of the pills while
being booked into the jail.
That officer will com-
plete a supplemental re-
port regarding those re-
marks.
The pills were stamped
and were identified as Xa-
nax.
The total weight of the
plant material was 8.5
grams, and there were
15.5 Alprazolam pills in
the bag.
These items were placed
into property and evidence
to be sent off for analysis.
SHOPLIFTING
Heather Nicole Grogan,
27, of Landrum has been
charged with Shoplifting
$2,000 or less.
According to an incident
report, on Oct. 17, an offi-
cer responded to Walmart
at 14055 E. Wade Hamp-
ton Blvd. in reference to a
shoplifting.
Upon arrival, the officer
met with the complainant.
The complainant stated
she witnessed the subject,
Heather Grogan, place a
toddler carseat in a shop-
ping cart, and also stated
Heather then met up with
her friend in the toy sec-
tion; they then walked to
the general merchandise
section.
Heather’s friend went on
to the self check out.
Heather still had the
cart containing the Graco
carseat ($70) and office
paper ($16) and exited the
store without paying for
the items.
The complainant then
stopped Heather and es-
corted her back to the of-
fice.
The officer received a
written statement from
the complainant as well as
a copy of the receipt.
The officer then issued
the complainant a subpoe-
na for court.
The complainant signed
a trespass notice as well.
The officer placed
Heather under arrest and
transported her to the jail
for processing.
The officer charged
Heather with Shoplifting
first offense, and the of-
ficer also issued Heather
a trespass notice for that
Walmart location.
DUS
Jimmie Eugene Phillips,
44, of Spartanburg has
been charged with Driving
Under Suspension.
According to an incident
report, on Oct. 17 at 4:45
a.m., an officer was pa-
trolling the area of Wade
Hampton Blvd and Dill
Creek when he observed
a grey colored vehicle pull
in front of the first choice
cash advance and cut off
their lights.
The vehicle was parked
sideways, and it looked as
if it was parked so it could
make a fast exit.
As the officer made a
U-turn and pulled into the
parking lot, the suspect
vehicle began to pull off
once they saw him.
The officer activated his
emergency lights, and the
suspected stopped.
The officer made his ap-
proach and made contact
with Jimmie Phillips.
The officer asked him
why he pulled in front
of the cash advance and
blacked out his lights.
He said that he was hav-
ing car trouble.
The officer asked him
for his driver’s license, in-
surance and registration.
He stated that he just
purchased the vehicle
from an individual.
He was only able to pro-
vide a bill of sale that was
only partially filled out.
The officer took what
information he had and
returned to his patrol car.
The officer discovered
that his driver’s license
was suspended.
Also, the vehicle did not
have insurance and the tag
that was meant for the ve-
hicle was suspended.
The officer also discov-
ered that Phillips had an
active warrant with Spar-
tanburg County for Failure
to Appear.
At this time, he was

Jackets bulldoze Blue Ridge, 63-6
BY LELAND BURCH
FOR THE GREER CITIZEN
Blue Ridge’s feisty Ti-
gers made the mistake
of stirring up a nest of
Yellow Jackets. That led
to the Tigers getting
swarmed in a 63-6 land-
slide at Dooley Field in
the regular season finale
for both teams.
‘We did what we set
out to do, so overall
I was pleased.’
Will Young
Greer High head coach
“I thought our kids
played pretty well. We
did what we set out to do,
so overall I was pleased,”
said Greer Coach Will
Young. Wrapping up a
9-1 campaign and win-
ning the Region 2, 4-A
title in the process, the
Yellow Jackets will ad-
vance to the playoffs on
Nov. 9th. Blue Ridge fin-
ished at 1-9, just ahead
of last place Berea.
Greer’s Dre Williams
warmed the cold, rain
soaked crowd with an-
other red-hot perfor-
mance that would fill
several highlight reels.
The senior running back
chalked up four touch-
downs on 313 all-pur-
pose yards. The Williams
show included touch-
down bursts of 38 and
61 yards up the middle
of the field and capped
with an 89-yard kickoff
return to start the sec-
ond half
All of that came after
the visiting Tigers gave
Blue Ridge fans some-
thing to cheer about at
the outset. Although

A seven-touchdown ex-

Thursday.

thew Huff’s flare pass
and cruised untouched
to the end zone, 40 yards
away, with the pick. But
the Tigers failed to add
to their lead when a two-
point conversion pass
failed to connect.
“That woke us up,”
Coach Young said. Fall-
ing behind sparked a
sting fest as the Yellow
Jackets retaliated with
three touchdowns over
the next eight minutes.
Greer took the ensuing
kickoff and scored in six
plays. Williams had runs
of 20, 14 and 18 yards
to move the ball to the
Blue Ridge two-yard line
where he crashed into
the end zone. Edwin
Sales put Greer ahead
when he kicked the extra

back to work, finding Byrd
again on an 8-yard route

The Yellow Jackets

Greer needed only four
plays to score when Wil-

Greer ended the quar-
ter with another pass

they were still knocking

FOR THE GREER CITIZEN
Greer High football is
in a familiar place en-
tering November. The
Yellow Jackets are pre-
paring for the playoffs
for the 13th. time in Will
Young’s 14-year tenure
as head coach.
There is a new twist
this year, however, as
Greer has this week off.
Lower state high school
games were postponed
by Hurricane Florence
in September, and those
make-up games will be
played this week. Thus,
Coach Young has the

some days off this week,

Greenville scored on an
ensuing drive to put the
Red Raiders back on top.
The margin would only
widen from there, as
Greenville scored 34 sec-

past the Eagles.
Eastside was led by Max
Louris, who finished with
204 rushing yards and two
touchdowns on the night.
Reggie Rodgers caught
a touchdown pass from
Dawson Conrad in the
fourth quarter.
Eastside finishes the sea-

Getting
too old
I
t’s possible I won’t be
a sports fan for very
much longer.
It won’t be because of
protest or lack of interest.
It will be because games
have become unwatch-
able.
No, really. I can’t watch
them. They come on too
late!
I’m not being a curmud-
geon here. A world series
game ended at 4 a.m. last
week. What responsible
human being forgoes a
night of sleep to cheer on
a baseball team? Certainly
not one with kids…or a
job…or plans the next
day.
It’s not just baseball,
though. It’s every sport.
Football and basketball
are as guilty as anybody.
NFL games on Sunday and
Monday nights don’t get
going until nearly 9 p.m.,
and if you want to see
LeBron play any games
this season you’ll have to
stay up until 1 or 2 a.m.
Having kids has
taught me that
sleep is the most
important thing we
do...
Maybe I’m on an island
here and kids have seri-
ously changed my life and
sports watching habits.
Surely television execu-
tives know what they’re
doing and can justify
these late start times with
adequate ratings. But one
would have to imagine
that if you start a game at
6 p.m., ratings would be
much higher.
But what do I know?
I went to bed at 7 p.m.
Monday night!
I can’t help it.
When my one-year-old
finally decides to pass out
after an evening of rapid
crawling and fitting small,
dangerous items in her
mouth, I’m too exhausted
to stay up and watch the
Braves play.
I don’t know exact-
ly when this phase of
parenting will end, but
with another girl due in
February, it isn’t soon.
The only games I man-
age to stay up for these
days are noon college
football games, and even
those have to be carefully
considered because of the
baby’s nap schedule.
Maybe it gets better.
Guys much older than
I am stay up for these
games, so there must be
light at the end of the tun-
nel. I reckon the true test
will be college basketball
season. In the past, I’ve
been willing to lose sleep
for my beloved Tar Heels.
We’ll see if that remains
the case this year. To be
honest, I’m not holding
out much hope.
I need to find a televi-
sion program that comes
on at a reasonable hour to
become a fan of.
Maybe Unsolved Myster-
ies? What about The Price
is Right? All My Children?
Prime time is no longer
8 p.m. for me. I’m eating
most of my dinners at
5:30 p.m. and when it gets
dark, it’s time for bed.
You can’t blame me. For
10 months of my life (my
daughter is 13 months
now), I was waking up 3-4
times each night with a
screaming infant. Having
kids has taught me that
sleep is the most import-
ant thing we do, and if
you don’t believe that
now, wait until it disap-
pears forever! Wait until
every peaceful moment of
rest is interrupted by the
shrieks of a tiny human
who aims to make your
life miserable.
Only then will you be
willing to skip the Patri-
ots’ Monday night football
game, no questions asked.

GREER: Looks ahead to Class AAAA matchup with Pickens High
FROM B1
next Friday night, Nov.
9th, at Dooley Field.
The SC High School
League will not final-
ize the playoff brackets
across the state until this
weekend, and Young is
not looking past Pickens
anyway. “I have no idea
who we would play if we
win the first one, because
some make-up games
were being played Mon-
day night. But our ob-
jective is to win the next
game, which is Pickens,”
Young declared.
That being said, the
Yellow Jackets have al-
ready achieved the goal
of winning the Region
II, 4-A championship
for the eighth time with
Young at the helm. “Ac-
tually, I am not sure how
many regions we have
won since I have been
here, and that’s not im-
portant. I think we are
successful because Greer
kids just expect to win
it every year,” Young
said. The Yellow Jackets
turned in a 9-1 regular
season record, sweeping
all five region games in
the process.
“Winning the region is
always important, and
something we set out to
do this summer, because
of getting the number

one seed,” he noted. That
assures the Yellow Jack-
ets of having at least two
home playoff games.
“The kids have done all
we have asked them to
do so far. Now, we need
to take the next step and
do something that is un-
common in the month
of November, and that
is get to the state cham-
pionship game. That is
a very difficult thing to
do.” But Young believes
the 2018 team has the
talent to win the state
title, explaining, “this is
a special group of kids
who have worked really
hard in the off season.
This is a team that prac-
tices well and gets ready
to play each week. They
are capable of going a
long way.”
Injures have increased
the difficulty of making
a long playoff run, how-
ever. Trey Houston, who
has started at quarter-
back for two and one-
half years, suffered a
knee injury in the sixth
game of the season, and
has been sidelined ever
since. Houston will also
miss the playoffs, but
another senior, Matthew
Huff, has been an ade-
quate replacement. “We
are very fortunate to
have Matt. He has taken

FROM B1
The Yellow Jackets
tacked on another first
half score on their next
possession, driving 62
yards in seven plays.
Huff delivered the touch-
down a nine-yard pass
to Miller DeArmond in
the end zone. That made
the tally 42-6 at intermis-
sion, at which point both
schools’ marching bands
went home.
With the game clock
running full speed, each
team had only three of-
fensive possessions in
the second half. The
Yellow Jackets made the
most of their opportu-
nities, starting with the
third quarter kickoff that
Williams returned for a
touchdown.
After forcing a Blue
Ridge punt, Greer staged
a four-play scoring blitz
that covered 52 yards.
Zech Evans, outside line-
backer who doubles as
back-up running back,
set up the touchdown
with a 30-yard gallop to
the Blue Ridge nine. Two
plays later, Evans scored
on a four-yard carry up
the middle.
Greer’s final score
came in the fourth pe-
riod after a short Blue
Ridge punt. Reserve ju-
nior wide receiver Isa-
iah Foster hit the end
zone on a nine-yard end
around run. Sales’ ninth
extra point closed the
scoring at 63-6.
The stats were nearly
as one-sided as the score.
Greer piled up 449 yards
of total offense for 15
first downs.
Blue Ridge had an even
100 yards and just four
first downs. The Tigers
completed four of 13
passes for 38 yards and
rushed for 62 yards.
Greer was far ahead in
penalties as well, collect-
ing seven yellow flags
the season.
The coaching staff is
promoting 21 junior var-
sity players for the play-
offs. “This will really help
us, especially in practice,
and the experience will
help the kids,” Young
said. “And some of them
may be able to contribute
in the games.”

NGU football falls on senior day Sports Emma Mooney

Abigail Armstrong

North Greenville’s se-

nior day was spoiled by
West Florida last Saturday
as the Crusaders fell 26-10
at home.
The Argos put up the
first points of the game
in the first quarter when
Quentin Randolph reeled
in a 35–yard strike from
Sam Vaughn. North Green-
ville held the West Florida
offense scoreless on the
next three drives, forcing
a pair of punts capped
by an Aaron Watson in-
terception to earn NGU’s
offense an extra posses-
sion. The Crusaders drove
to the West Florida 33 but
an interception returned
for a touchdown would
put North Greenville in a
13–0 hole after Chauncey
Haney blocked the point
after attempt. The Argos
attempted a field goal just
before halftime but Haney
came through big for NGU
again, blocking the kick
with 58 seconds left be-
fore the halftime buzzer.
NGU used the time pro-
ductively and drove 44
yards in seven plays as
Will Lawson tacked on the
first points of the day for
the Crusaders with a field
goal as the time expired.
Offensively the Crusad-
ers struggled to get any-
thing going in the second
half. The Argos kept up
the pressure and finished
the day with nine sacks of
Will Hunter while holding
North Greenville to just
257 yards of total offense.
North Greenville defend-
ers continued to battle de-
spite being on the field for
31 – minutes of the game.
The Crusaders forced
three turnovers, all inter-
ceptions while holding the
Argos to 314 yards on of-
fense, almost 90 yards un-
Crusader
Corner
der their season average.
West Florida tacked on
13 points in the third quar-
ter, the final score coming
with 2:17 left in the frame.
North Greenville would
eventually find pay dirt
late in the fourth when
Will Hunter found Jordan
Helms from six yards out,
taking advantage of an Ed-
die Studyvance intercep-
tion at the west Florida 25.
The touchdown came with
10:10 left on the game
clock but neither team was
able to score in the final
ten minutes of the game.
NGU’s final drive of the
game started with just
over 2 minutes left but
ended with a sack as the
clock expired.
Defensively Seth Laugh-
ter had one of his best
days in the red and black,
accounting for nine tack-
les including one for a
loss. Dominique Hunt was
next in line with seven
stops. North Greenville
had three sacks on the day
led by Eddie Studyvance
who had 1.5 to go along
with an interception.
Johnny Worthy and Aar-
on Watson also picked off
a West Florida Pass. Will
Hunter was able to com-
plete 23 of his 44 passing
attempts despite being
under pressure for much
of the game. Hunter fin-
ished with 222 yards and
a touchdown. Dashonell
Wright finished the day
with 72 yards rushing on

rushers. Lucas Catalfo-

mo had 79 yards on five
receptions while Jordan

catches for 34 yards and
a score.
SOCCER ENDS WITH WIN
The North Greenville
women’s soccer team
ended its regular season
in style with a 5-0 win
over the Converse Valky-
ries. Karly Denaburg had
quite a match with two
goals, as well as an assist.
The Lady Crusaders also
took over second place in
the Conference Carolinas
standings.
Just over three min-
utes into the half, Denab-
urg put the Crusaders on
the board with her fourth
goal of the season. Mary
Courtney Puryear near-
ly added a goal about a
minute later, but her shot
bounced off the post. In
the 18th minute, Puryear
would strike this time
with her second goal of
the season and an assist
by Denaburg. Gleed would
score her third goal of the
season around four min-
utes later with an assist by
Jamie Shutt to put NGU up
3-0. A fourth goal would
come across the board in
the 29th minute by Karla
Cruse, her fourth of the
season. North Greenville
put up the last three shots
of the half before time
would expire and would
record ten total shots in
the half.
Just under two minutes
into the second half, NGU
put up the fifth and final
goal of the match when
Denaburg scored for the
fifth time this season and
was assisted by Michaela
Gleed. In the 62nd min-
ute, Annie Miller entered
the game to relieve Briana
Rowe at goalkeeper. Mill-
er recorded her first save
of the season in the 74th
minute. North Greenville
was able to record the fi-
nal five shots of the match
and totaled 21 for the en-
tire match.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2018 FUN AND GAMES
Antibiotics vs. Probiotics
DEAR DR. ROACH: I un-
derstand that the overuse
of antibiotics can harm
the good bacteria in the
intestinal tract, as well as
the bad. While I don’t feel
that I am abusing antibiot-
ics, I have been prescribed
two courses in the past
five years. I wonder what
action can be taken to try
to ensure that balance in
my gut is restored. -- M.L.
ANSWER: We are just
beginning to understand
the beneficial effect of
bacteria living in our intes-
tine, and there is prelimi-
nary evidence that antibi-
otics might have adverse
long-term effects due to
loss of healthy bacteria. I
think the most important
message from this is to
use antibiotics as little as
possible, but two courses
in five years is certainly
modest.
The use of probiotics
(healthy bacteria) might
help prevent growth of
harmful bacteria, improve
the immune system, re-
duce pain and improve the
function of the gut lining.
I don’t think probiotics
are necessary after the
occasional course of anti-
biotics. However, it is rea-
sonable to consider probi-
otics in some situations,
including in people with
inflammatory bowel dis-
ease (Crohn’s disease and
ulcerative colitis), in cases
of infectious diarrhea and
perhaps in people with ir-
ritable bowel syndrome.
Commercial probiotics are
expensive, not FDA-ap-
proved and aren’t proven
Soap Updates
BY DANA BLOCK
THE BOLD AND
THE BEAUTIFUL
Dressed in a sexy witch’s
costume to help lighten
the mood, Quinn made a
major sacrifice in order
to keep her marriage on
track. Ridge expressed his
anger over Bill’s contin-
ued overtures to Brooke.
Pam reflected back on her
relationship with Stepha-
nie and the death of their
mother, Ann. Brooke con-
fided in Eric about Bill’s
admission and his desire
to be a better person.
Ridge confronted Bill and
the two quickly exchanged
heated accusations and
threats. Steffy oversaw a
photoshoot for the launch
of her Intimates line.
Quinn felt uncomfortable
around her stepchildren
in light of her recent dis-
agreements with Pam and
Eric. Leo asked Steffy out
on a date. Wait to See:
Quinn’s blue eyes turn
a jealous shade of green
when she spies Eric and
Donna reminiscing about
their past.
DAYS OF OUR LIVES
Hattie pressed Roman to
prove his love for her. Eve
cut ties with Brady and
left Salem. Ben opened
up to Ciara. Tripp made
a shocking confession
to Claire. Strange occur-
rences took place in Sa-
lem on Halloween night,
including a couple of fa-
miliar faces returning for
a spooky surprise. Hattie

to treat or cure any dis-
ease as of yet.
Yogurt often is recom-
mended, but not all yo-
gurt contains live healthy
bacteria. Even in the ones
that do, many of the bacte-
ria are killed by our stom-
ach acid. Other fermented
dairy products, such as ke-
fir, have higher concentra-
tions of bacteria. Both of
these might be problem-
atic in people with lactose
intolerance (which can
happen to anyone tempo-
rarily after a bout of infec-
tious diarrhea)

DEAR DR. ROACH: My
domestic partner’s body
heat is always very warm.
We keep our home at 75
degrees F, and she com-
plains that the house is
too hot. Even at night
when I touch her, I can
feel the heat on her body.
What do you think might
be causing this to happen?
Is this normal? She is in
her mid-60s. -- C.B.
ANSWER: It is not at
all abnormal for people
to have different tem-
peratures at which they
feel comfortable, and 75
degrees F is on the warm
side of comfort for many.
One way that our bod-

is through blood flow to
the extremities. When the
blood vessels are open,
the person will feel quite
warm to the touch, and
when trying to conserve
heat, the skin feels cold
and clammy.
If she is really both-
ered by it, it might be
worth thinking about two
common medical issues:
hyperthyroidism and va-
somotor instability of
menopause. In hyperthy-
roidism, the entire me-
tabolism is enhanced, so
the person is warm all the
time. A simple blood test
can confirm this diagno-
sis.
In a woman in her 60s,
it is common to have pe-
riods of vasomotor in-
stability, usually called
hot flashes. In these, the
blood vessels open up
and the woman becomes
uncomfortably hot for a
few minutes. It is possible
that one of these could be
happening for your part-
ner. However, sometimes
variations in normal phys-
iology can fool the physi-
cian into thinking there is
a problem.

her mind about Kyle after
witnessing him defend her

Mariah got matching tat-

to keep his children opti-

self torn as her attraction
to Rey continued to grow.
Later, Nick convinced Sha-
ron to go on a family trip
to the pumpkin patch, but
things quickly turned ugly
when they ran into Rey
