Friday morning between
midnight and 3 a.m., Dan-
iel Sauvola, 28, of Well-
ford, was struck and killed
by a train near Bobo Street
in Greer.
Around 7:30 a.m., a
train going through Greer
stopped and radioed in
that someone was on
the tracks. The train was
stopped on the tracks
blocking Highway 101 and
E. Poinsett Street in Greer
until around 12:30 p.m.
while the coroner and po-
lice investigated.
According to the inci-
dent police report, the
train that may have struck
Sauvola had advised dis-
patch that it collided with
something on the tracks,
further advising they be-
lieved it was a deer, but
they were unable to locate
anything.
It wasnt until another
train passed through four
hours later that the body
was discovered.
Lt. Cris Varner said the
second train did not strike
the body, and if the initial
train hit Sauvola they may
not have known it, but its
still unclear if the train be-
lieved to to have collided
with a deer was the same
train that first struck Sau-
vola.
Theres a lot of factors
that were still working on
with the investigation be-
cause you wouldnt feel it
if you were in a train, he
said.
Varner said it is too soon
to know if alcohol or drugs
were in Sauvolas system
and the death is still under
investigation.

ER doctors, social work-
ers and judges must often
deal with the ugly after-
math of domestic violence.
But no one faces the real-
time horror and sadness
of spousal abuse as rou-
tinely as police officers.
Greer PD Sgts. Chris
Forrester and Chad Rich-
ardson both worked the
citys streets for over a de-
cade before receiving their
promotions to Sergeant.
During those years, theyd
respond to 911 calls of
Criminal Domestic Vio-
lence (CDV) several times
per week.
The thing about CDV is
its a problem everywhere,
Richardson explains. Its
a problem that has no
socioeconomic ties to it.
You can go to the most af-
fluent neighborhoods and
work a CDV. Theres no
rhyme or reason to it. Its
everywhere.
CDV calls come through
the switchboard with such
frequency that a full week
of the three-month po-
lice-training academy is
dedicated solely to han-
dling such incidents. That
emphasis seems logical
considering the inherent
danger of these situations,
where officers enter into
a firestorm of emotion,
chaos and uncertainty.
CDV calls are so inherent-
ly dangerous, in fact, that
Forrester says only traffic
stops result in more of-
ficer fatalities in the US
each year.
The department handles
such calls with great care
and caution, with at least
two officers and some-
times three responding to
the scene. Often there are
weapons on the premises
and more times than not,

Young, Upstate art-

submissions, said Julia
Black, City of Greer events
supervisor.
More than 30 entries
were submitted this year,
with submissions ac-
cepted from kindergarten
through college students.
This includes a large group
of entries from Greer High,
said Robin Byouk, Greer
Cultural Arts Council su-
pervisor.
Were always grateful to

participation, she said.
The pieces will be on
display through the sec-

Theyre on display at Wall

STAFF WRITER
At the Lyman Town
Council meeting Monday
night, council was advised
that streetscape plans for
Lyman have been complet-
ed and will be submitted
to the S.C. Department of
Transportation Friday and
approval or denial will be
received within 30 days.
On Jan. 6, bids will be
presented for the project
and construction will start
soon after.
The new amphitheatre
is completed and a grand
opening for the facility
will be held after the Ly-
man Christmas Parade
being held on Dec. 1 at
4:30 p.m. Line-up for the
parade will begin at 3:30
p.m. in Freds parking lot
at Edgewood Street and
Spartanburg Highway. En-
try forms for the parade
are available at the Ly-
man Municipal Complex
and participation is free.
A Christmas Tree Light-
ing Ceremony, Christmas
carols and fireworks will
take place after the parade
at the new Amphitheater,
located across from Old
Springs parking lot.
Resident Michael John-
son addressed council
about traffic concerns due
to the Inland Port. Johnson
requested council consider
posting signs to prohibit
unnecessary truck traffic
through downtown Lyman.
Mayor Rodney Turner ad-
vised council intended
to address the issue and
consider the traffic impact
of the Inland Port, but no
course of action has yet
been taken.
The Public Works depart-
ment received approval
from DEHEC to go forward
with sewer treatment and
transport again following
an investigation into illicit
PCBs being found in the
sewer system.
Council heard the sec-
ond and final reading for
an amendment to the Sew-
er Service Ordinance. The
amendment changes the
verbiage of the ordinance,
but presently the sewer
ordinance is undergoing
an entire rewrite and when
completed will be present-
ed to council.
The Police Department
reported it took an active
role in Red Ribbon Week
last week when it visited
schools to talk to students
about alcohol, drug and to-
bacco prevention, and the
Fire Department report
that it handled 72 calls
last month, four of which
were related to vehicle ac-
cidents, and one of which
resulted in a fatality.
An Employee Apprecia-
tion Dinner will be held
Dec. 7 at 6 p.m. and the
next Lyman Council meet-
ing will be held on Dec. 2
at 6:30 p.m. at 81 Groce

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR |
I
t has taken me years no, decades
to learn to stop trying to punch my
way through a difficult situation.
Are you with me? Let me set the scene:
You have plans to go to the beach for a
long weekend. The week before you are
scheduled to depart, the water pump
goes in your car. OK, no problem, you
think, a bit inconvenient, but at least it
happened before you were halfway to
Folly Beach and you can take it to your
trusted mechanic.
Then, two days before you depart,
your child comes down with a sore
throat, and the day you are scheduled
to depart, its pouring and the extended
forecast calls for rain all weekend. This
will result in two different behaviors.
One will throw their hands into the air
and say, OK, I give up! Never mind that
I havent seen the ocean in five years,
were staying home, and well get a pizza
and Netflix a movie, instead.
And then there is me. Or the madwom-
an formerly known as me: I dont care
if I have to walk every step of the way in
a tornado, naked, wearing a collander on
my head, I.am.going.to.the.beach!
Oh, Id get there, all right, and it would
be awful.
And it would be all Pauls fault.
Nowadays, I cave in relatively quickly.
Its not that I allow setbacks to dictate
my decisions, but rather, I tend to pay
attention quickly so that the universe
stops using my head as a hacky sack and
I can let go and let God.
Case in point: For two weeks, I have
been trying to schedule a vetting for a
young filly that Im attempting to pur-
chase. Vettings are imperative because,
even if a horse is free, the last thing you
want is an animal with the beginnings of
arthritic changes, or a heart murmur or
weird blood panel results you get the
drift. And for two weeks, the vetting has
been impeded and re-scheduled three
different times owing to a faulty brake
box in my truck, a flat tire on my horse
trailer, and the horses owner being
called, last minute, to cover for a sick
colleague.
For the fourth time, I conferred with
the owner and we rescheduled. Only
then did I allow my excited anticipa-
tion begin to bubble. You see, regard-
less of my age, the thought of getting a
new horse is no different than that of
an 8- year-old child getting a pony for
Christmas.
You guys, imagine getting a vintage
soft tail under the tree. Ladies, 10 pairs
of Louboutin, red-soled heels. Youre
now somewhere close to my ecstasy.
Youre not going to believe this,
read the email that popped up later that
evening. The filly is lame and seems
to be brewing an abscess in her right
front hoof. Am poulticing and will have
the vet try to pare it out, but will have
to reschedule until it drains and shes
sound.
Wa-waaaaaa.
Man, Im sorry, said Paul, reading
over my slumped shoulder. Thats re-
ally frustrating.
But then I was given one more thump
on the back of the head by the universes
hacky sack and it all became crystal
clear.
Nope, I began, sitting up suddenly
straighter, dont you see? This is a good
thing! If Id tried to vet her a couple
of days ago, when we last rescheduled
and before the abscess really declared
itself, shed still be ouchy from the
stone bruise, or whatever, caused it. She
wouldnt have passed the vetting and we
wouldnt know why. I would have wasted
an entire day and a couple hundred dol-
lars on gas for nothing. This thing had to
surface, and now well wait for it to blow
and, like every other hoof abscess, shell
be fine. Im really grateful.
As I type, my rig is hooked up, new
tires are on the trailer, a brake box has
been installed in the truck and the last
empty stall in the barn has been deeply
bedded with soft shavings in optimistic
anticipation.
And if I dont bring her home with me
tomorrow, Im going to do my best to
echo a late friends advice:
Honey, if God doesnt open the door,
praise Him in the hallway!
Amen.
IM JUST

Let go and let God
Chance to give back arrives
with Big Thursday, toy drive
With all the talk of health care, government
shutdowns and a still struggling economy, its
hard for many Americans to get in the spirit for
a holiday that is less than eight weeks away.
But life doesnt seem to be as bleak in the
Greer area as the opening of the new Inland Port
is going to bring even more revenue into an area
that recently announced it set a new record for
Gross Retail Sales.
This week, area residents have an opportunity
to give back in a few different ways. Big Thurs-
day, the annual fundraiser for Greer Communi-
ty Ministries, is an all-day event that brings the
community together in a way that few things do
outside of Family Fest.
Whether its buying barbeque or hot dog
plates or bidding on one of many amazing
items in the silent and live auctions, there is
truly something for everyone to take advantage
of. The auctions include many items that would
make great Christmas gifts, including airline
tickets, packages that include the use of a brand
new BMW for the weekend, dinners hosted by
some of Greers most prominent citizens, and
footballs signed by NFL teams like the Denver
Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers, as well as local
high schools such as Greer and Blue Ridge.
On Sunday, the annual Syl Syl Toy Drive will
take place from 2-4 p.m. This event makes an
impact on so many levels. It honors the legacy
of a woman who loved this city and children
during her life, which was ended much too soon
during a horrific bank robbery that also claimed
the lives of two others.
It is spearheaded by her sons, who not only
want to pay tribute to their mother and the
things that she believed in, but also want to
make sure that the tragedy of her death is nev-
er forgotten and to one day see that justice is
served and the people responsible for her death
are captured and held responsible.
The event is hosted each year by the Clock
restaurant, and is a reminder of what the busi-
ness and its owners mean to the community.
The restaurant isnt open on Sundays, but Jim-
my Chulkas and his family gladly open their
doors each year for this occasion. You can feel
the love and warmth of this event the moment
you walk through the doors.
If you are someone who has been to either of
these events before, you know how rewarding it
is to be involved and this year shouldnt be any
different.
If you havent been to either one, make this
the year. Along with Greer Relief and the Greer
Soup Kitchen, Greer Community Ministries is a
vital part of our community. Through the work
of many, those agencies offer assistance to the
less fortunate and elderly. They make a differ-
ence in the lives of so many.
If you attend the toy drive, one of the best
things to do is bring one or several unwrapped
toys in, grab a cup of sweet tea and a plate of
snacks, and then grab a seat that will allow you
to just sit back and enjoy.
It is then you will see the kind of heart that
this community possesses as people walk in
with things as small as a doll to as large as a
bicycle, and do it all for the same reason. They
want to give back and make sure the holidays
are a little merrier for those who havent always
had that.
Dancing
my prayers
Read Psalm 149:1-4
D
avid, wearing a linen
ephod, danced before the
Lord with all his might. 2
Samuel 6:14
As a Native American, I have
the honor and privilege of car-
rying on the tradition of Native
American dancing. With each
dance step runs a deep connec-
tion among ancestors, those
who live now and the genera-
tions to come. My spirit-filled
dance gives honor and praise
to God, while giving me a way
to offer my prayers to my
creator.
The dress I wear is called a
jingle-dance or prayer-dance
dress. The cones on the dress
represent prayers. As I dance,
each cone hits another and the
prayers sing out their request
to God. Sgt. 1st Class Mitche-
lene Bigman gave me the dress
when she returned from her
first tour in Iraq. Her hand-
written message said that the
prayers on the dress were for
the soldiers that served side by
side with her and the families
of those who did not return
home with her unit. She told
me always to dance for peace
and healing.
Each time I dance, whether it
be for a Native American min-
istry Sunday service, pow wow,
or a gathering to share our
Native ways, my tear-filled eyes
dance with pride, as I honor the
prayers of those I do not know.
My dress reminds me that any
act done in love on behalf or
another is a kind of prayer.
Prayer: Creator God, we thank
you for hearing our prayers,
in whatever language we offer
them. Amen.
Temporary
pain
S
ticks and stone will break
my bones, but words will
never hurt me. Its a well-
known adage, but its ultimate-
ly a well-intended lie that at
times Ive wished were true.
Physical wounds are far
easier to manage than psycho-
logical ones. When we hurt
physically we take medications,
tend to the source of pain and
are often given a timeframe
for it to heal. Emotional pain
isnt so simple. There are no
answers. No timeframes. No
cures. There is only time.
Over the past week Ive
been struggling with my own
emotional wounds after mak-
ing a difficult decision to end
a relationship I had outgrown,
and Im now left with an empty
pit in my stomach, a little bit of
advice and a forced smile.
Although it was the right de-
cision, Im haunted by memo-
ries of a life I am no longer
part of and Im mourning the
life I could have had. There is
no timeframe, no painkiller
and no solution only fleeting
moments when I almost forget.
Everyone battles emotional
pain in some form or fashion
because its inevitable, but its
not uncontrollable. Anyone
who is also going through
tough times, know this: pain is
temporary and there are ways
to manage it without hurting
those around you or further
hurting yourself. Too often
people let their minds dictate
their actions in moments of un-
balanced emotion rather than
just standing in the oncoming
waves of pain and just feeling
it until the tide washes away.
Despite the deep-rooted
sadness I feel, through this
experience Ive learned a lot
about myself and Ive found
strength I wasnt aware I had.
Though Im no expert, Ive
acquired quite a few emotional
scars. Ive found immersing
yourself in distractions such as
social settings, books, televi-
sion and projects can bring
calm moments that allow you
to momentarily forget. These
distractions can also help to
avoid rash decisions. But when
pain is unavoidable and sad-
ness consuming, allow yourself
to grieve because there are no
right answers and few things
in life are as black and white
as broken bones. Like any pain,
some days are more manage-
able than others, you just have
to allow yourself to face it and
feel so you can move on.
If you are someone who has been
to either of these events before,
you know how rewarding it is to be
involved and this year shouldnt be
any different.
My dress reminds me
that any act done
in love on behalf or
another is a kind of
prayer.

Single
and staying
on track
Q: Do you have any tips
for how a single person
can stay on track with
their finances?
DR: Its really pretty
simple. The first thing is
the same advice I give to
married couples, and that
is to live on a monthly
budget. Sit down at the
end of each month and
write downon paper
all your expenses and
income for the following
month.
When you think about
it, budgeting really isnt
that difficult. Some of
your expenses, like your
rent or mortgage pay-
ment, will be the same. If
you have a car payment
(which I really hope you
dont), it will remain
constant, as well. Things
like groceries and utilities
may fluctuate based on
the time of year, but you
can make a pretty accu-
rate estimate by looking
at past months.
The second thing Id
recommend is that you
find someone to be your
accountability partner. It
should be someone who
is wise and good with
money and a person who
loves you enough to call
your bluff or hurt your
feelings a little when
necessary. They can be
a close friend, parent or
even your pastor. Just sit
down together over a cup
of coffee once a month
and talk about your fi-
nances. You could even go
over your budget together
line by line.
Ideally an accountability
partner is someone whos
ahead of you on a particu-
lar journey and can help
direct you along the path
to wisdom. Its their job
to hold you accountable
for what youre doing and
the decisions youre mak-
ing, for your own good.
A prodigal
daughter
Q: My daughter used
to live an irresponsible
lifestyle and was bad with
money, too. While she was
in college she also took
on $20,000 in student
loan debt. Since that time
she experienced a serious
illness. Shes recovering
now, and it has really
changed her behavior and
her outlook on life, spiri-
tual matters and money
for the better. I could pay
off the loans for her, but
Im wondering if theres a
better way to help.
DR: If I were in your
shoes, and I had the
means to pay off her
student loan debt without
putting myself at risk
financially, thats exactly
what Id do.
Sometimes the best gift
you can give a person
is to let them wallow
around for a while in the
mess they made. Being
forced to work your way
out of bad decisions and
irresponsible behaviors is
a great remedy in lots of
cases. But in this situa-
tion, with what youve
told me about her previ-
ous health issue, and the
fact that shes now being
responsible with money,
behaving and making bet-
ter life choices, Id want
her to be as free as pos-
sible as she takes up this
new walk.

For the 2013 fiscal year,
Greer reported the fourth
largest total retail sales
figures in Greenville and
Spartanburg counties, fall-
ing behind only Greenville,
Spartanburg and Mauldin.
Greer reported an 8 per-
cent increase in retail sales
compared to the previous
year, reporting a total of
$740,381,970 in gross re-
tail sales.
Reno Deaton, Greer De-
velopment Corporation
executive director, said he
believes a combination of
several things led to the in-
crease, including residen-
tial growth, an increase in
traffic through the Wade
Hampton corridor, and re-
tailers abilities to provide
a variety of products and
services.
I think that that has
led to increased traffic
through out the Wade
Hampton corridor and
other areas, he said.
Weve seen retailers,
both high traffic retailers
and high traffic commer-
cial areas, as well as our
specialty retailers in areas
such as our historic down-
town Greer station, do a
fantastic job as far as in
terms of product mix and
customer service.
Deaton said he expects
the trend to continue up-
ward as residential growth
continues.
I think it does have
the opportunity to con-
tinue to drive new retail
sales growth, with new
residents, additional new
housing starts, we have
additional customers and
new opportunities to move
product, he said.
As a result of the in-
crease in retail sales, Dea-
ton believes more busi-
nesses will consider Greer
as a viable market to con-
duct business in.
I think one, it demon-
strates to businesses both
in the community and
those that might be con-
sidering the community
that we are a thriving re-
tail market, Deaton said.
I think it also presents a
great story for local resi-
dents, that they under-
stand that they can shop
local and find all the prod-
ucts and services that they
may need or want.
On Veterans Day, Mon-
day, Nov. 11, customers
who come in for a hair-
cut at any U.S. Great Clips
salon will receive a free
haircut card to give to an
active/inactive/retired
military member of any
branch, including the Na-
tional Guard.
Military members can
also come in on Veterans
Day for a free haircut or to
pick up a free haircut card
to use, with proof of ser-
vice, any day before Dec.
31, 2013.
Were honored to help
the entire nation show ap-
preciation for the men and
women who have served
our country, said Great
Clips CEO, Rhoda Olsen,
who is married to a Viet-
nam veteran. We invite
everyone to come into a
U.S. Great Clips salon on
Veterans Day to purchase
a service and pick up a free
haircut card. Give the card
to your veteran neighbor,
family member or just
someone you notice is a
veteran to thank them for
serving our country. Its
one small way to show you
truly care and appreciate
their service.
The free haircut cards
are redeemable by veter-
ans at any U.S. Great Clips
from Nov. 11Dec. 31,
2013 with proof of service.
The promotion applies to
veterans only.
Veterans who visit Great
Clips in the U.S. on Nov.
11 receive either a free
haircut that day or a free
haircut card to redeem by
Dec. 31. After Nov. 11,
veterans must have a free
haircut card to get the
free haircut.
Many of our franchise
owners, corporate staff
and Great Clips stylists
have served in the mili-
tary, or have family mem-
bers or customers who
have served, so we are all
excited to be a part of this
nationwide thank-you to
our men and women in
uniform, said Terri Miller,
Great Clips vice president
of marketing and commu-
nications. To make sure
as many veterans as pos-
sible have the opportunity
to get their free haircut,
we extended this promo-
tion through the end of
the year. We want to give
these great people more
time to visit a Great Clips
and redeem this thank-
you card for a free haircut
in honor of their service.

Retail sales increase
expected to continue

day, and provides a unique
opportunity for customers
to support local charities
while taking advantage of
special discounts of 20-70

a $5 ticket, customers get
great buys on rarely dis-
counted merchandise and
other items throughout
the store.

a $5 credit on Charity
Sale purchases completely
offsetting the cost of the
ticket. Charities get to

proceeds from each $5
ticket sold. The first 100
customers in each store
on the morning of Charity
Sale will receive free Belk

from $5 to $100, and a
chance to win one of three
$1,000 Belk gift cards
awarded company-wide.
Our biannual Charity
Sale is a win-win for Belk
and the communities we
serve, said Jessica Gra-
ham, vice president, com-
munications and commu-
nity relations at Belk. The
upcoming Charity Sale
event is a great opportu-
nity for our customers to
get great bargains on our
latest fall fashions and top
brands and at the same
time benefit their favor-
ite local charities. Its one
of many ways that Belk
reinforces its long-stand-
ing commitment to com-
munity involvement and
charitable giving.
Charity Sale tickets
are now being sold by
participating non-profit
organizations and may
also be purchased at Belk
stores. All revenues from

Charity Sale raised more
than $5 million for nearly
8,000 schools and com-
munity nonprofit 501(c)(3)
organizations in Belk mar-
kets, and last year, the
two Charity Sale events
together raised a total of
more than $10 million for

BY KATIE CRUICE SMITH
FOR THE GREER CITIZEN
On Sunday, Nov. 17, Tay-
lors First Baptist Church
will present One Day, a
day dedicated to missions
and to presenting new
mission opportunities to
the congregation.
We want to celebrate
how God is making disci-
ples in our nations and in
other nations, said Jere-
my Thompson, minister of
missions. This is actually
a day that will be playing
off of two days Nov. 10
and 17 when our pastor
will be preaching on mis-
sions.
The church will be using
this day to announce to
the congregation two new
mission opportunities in
the United States and two
more around the world.
Taylors First is partnering
with two U.S. cities which
will be disclosed on One
Day to help the church
planters who are there
and to encourage some of
their own congregation to
go and help them as they
start their church plants.
In fact, two of the fami-
lies from Taylors First are
already heading to one of
the partner cities to begin
planting a church.
This is part of SEND
North America, which is
the emphasis of the North
American Mission Board,
Thompson said. They are
highlighting 32 SEND cit-
ies where churches will be
planted because those ar-
eas are in need of church-
es. We are working to pro-
vide a network of support
[for church planters] in
North America.
Internationally, Tay-
lors First is working with
the International Mission
Board to partner with an
unreached people group
and an unengaged people
group. The unreached
people group is a group
that has less than two per-
cent of evangelical Chris-
tians amongst them.
Research shows that
if a group of people has
more than two percent,
the church can thrive,
Thompson said. But when
there is less than two per-
cent, its a lot harder for
the church to survive.
Within an unengaged
group of people, there is
no evangelical presence,
although there may be
missionaries in nearby cit-
ies. The church hopes to
send short-term mission-
ary teams to this group
of people and eventually
send someone from their
own group to be a perma-
nent missionary in that
area.
During the One Day ser-
vice, two men who work
with the SEND cities will
present their ministries to
the congregation, a video
will be shown about the
unreached people group
and Thompson will repre-
sent the unengaged people
group.
We are hoping to
build long-term partner-
ships with these groups,
Thompson said. We want
to have a long-term impact
in the same areas.
Taylors First will be
handing out commitment
cards at the end of the
service, asking people to
pray and consider joining
one of the teams heading
out to help in these target
areas. There will also be
brochures with informa-
tion on how much money
each trip will cost. For the
people who wont be able
to go on a mission trip, the
church is asking for prayer
teams to pray for those
who do go. The purpose
is to get everyone in the
church involved in mis-
sions, both here at home
and abroad.
The reason we go is in
obedience to God in the
Great Commission found
in Matthew, Thompson
said. God deserves wor-
ship of every tribe, tongue,
and nation.

The Greer Citizen
March 31, 2008
Rapper DMX whose real
name is Earl Simmons has
been arrested again. Sim-
mons, 42, of 424 Ruby
Ridge Trail, Lyman, was
arrested early Monday
evening by Greenville-
Spartanburg Airport Police
and charged with driving
with a suspended license,
operating an uninsured
vehicle, and no vehicle
tag. Simmons, who was
en route to GSP Airport to
catch a flight at the time
of his arrest, was trans-
ported to The Spartanburg
County Detention Facility
where he spent roughly
three hours before post-
ing $1,135 bond. Simmons
was arrested in August for
possession of marijuana.
(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.)
SHOPLIFTING, POSSESSION
Jeremy Alexander Wain-
wright, 30, of 104 Ta-
bor Ln., Greer, has been
charged with shoplifting,
possession of drug para-
phernalia, and trespass
after notice. According to
incident reports, an officer
responded to the area of
Walmart near Lorla Street
in reference to a shoplift-
ing suspect who had fled
from Walmart. Upon ar-
rival, the officer located
the suspect (Wainwright)
and performed a pat down
of his person that yielded
a glass pipe with residue.
Wainwright was placed
under arrest. A short time
after, the loss prevention
officer of Walmart arrived
on the scene and identi-
fied Wainwright as the
shoplifting suspect. Wain-
wright confessed to hav-
ing taken two Blu-ray play-
ers and a set of speakers.
Wainwright was already
on trespass notice from
Walmart. He was arrested
and transported to the
Greer City jail.
DUS
Naam Stephen Goddard,
25, of 1619 Old Highway 14
S, Greer, has been charged
with driving under suspen-
sion (3rd), faulty equip-
ment, and failure to com-
ply. According to incident
reports, an officer was
sitting at the intersection
of Snow Street and Poplar
Street when he observed a
black Jeep traveling with
a faulty brake light. The
officer initiated a traffic
stop on the vehicle and its
driver, Goddard. The offi-
cer learned that Goddards
license was suspended and
that he also had an active
warrant out of Greenville
County for failure to com-
ply. Goddard had two pri-
or convictions for driving
under suspension within
the last five years. He was
arrested and transported
to the Greer City Jail.
DRUG POSSESSION
Wanda Jean Coleman,
48, of 5115 Arlen Ave.,
Easley, has been charged
with two counts of pos-
session of drugs and
one count of possession
of drug paraphernalia.
Amanda Darlene Robert-
son, 27, of 102 James St.,
Greer, has been charged
with possession of drug
paraphernalia, driving un-
der suspension, uninsured
vehicle, and following too
closely. According to in-
cident reports, an officer
responded to the intersec-
tion of S Buncombe Road
and W. Wade Hampton
Blvd. in reference to a traf-
fic accident. Upon arrival,
the officer noticed that the
passenger of one of the ve-
hicles involved (Coleman)
was acting in an odd man-
or and was continuously
trying to leave the scene.
Coleman even asked the
officer if she could leave
the scene and the officer
noticed her speech to be
both slowed and slurred.
The officer then learned
that the driver (Robertson)
of the vehicle, which Cole-
man was traveling with,
had a suspended license.
Robertson was placed un-
der arrest and gave the of-
ficer consent to search the
vehicle. A search of the
vehicle yielded a syringe,
q-tip and 3 spoons (two of
which contained a white
residue). Both Robertson
and Coleman were trans-
ported to the Greer City
Jail, where Coleman admit-
ted that she had inserted a
pill bottle into the private
area of her person. She re-
trieved the pill bottle that
contained 33 clonazepam,
three alprazolam, and one
unknown white pill.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Carroll Equan Jackson,
23, of 109 Arnold St.,
with criminal domestic
violence. According to in-
cident reports, officers
were dispatched to an ad-
dress on Chandler Road
in reference to a domestic
disturbance. Upon arrival,
two officers met with the
complainant who stated
that she and Jackson got
into an argument over
some content on Jacksons
phone. She stated a strug-
gle ensued and that Jack-
son then slapped her in
the face, bit her arm, and
threw her to the ground.
Jackson admitted to biting
the victim. Jackson was ar-
rested and transported to
the Greer City Jail.
DUI, NO LICENSE
Pedro Garcia Hernandez,
41, of 205 Justin Drive,
with DUI and no state driv-
ers license (2nd). Accord-
ing to incident reports,
an officer responded to
a single car wreck on W.
Poinsett Street. Upon ar-
rival, the officer observed
a badly wrecked vehicle
with EMS attending to
its driver, Hernandez.
The officer met with a
witness who stated that
the Hernandezs vehicle
passed him at a high rate
of speed and struck a wall
then a telephone poll. The
officer then spoke with
Hernandez, who was unin-
jured. The officer noticed
a strong smell of alcohol
coming from Hernandezs
breath. Hernandez admit-
ted to having had some
beers. The officer con-
ducted a sobriety test on
Hernandez that he failed
and then placed him un-
der arrest. He was trans-
ported to the Greer City
Jail, where he was unable
to properly provide a
breath analysis through a
breathalyzer.
CONTRIBUTERS
Ruthie Elizabeth Hen-
kin, 42, of 107 Burlwood
Drive, Greer, and Eric Eli-
ude Browder, 35, of 136
Mantaline Ct., Greer, have
both been charged with
contributing to the delin-
quency of minors. Accord-
ing to incident reports, an
officer was dispatched to
the above address on Burl-
wood Drive in reference to
alcohol being consumed
by minors at a residence.
Upon arrival, the officer
observed four teenage girls
walking around the resi-
dence while holding dai-
quiris. The officer smelled
the daiquiris and con-
firmed that they contained
alcohol. At this point, the
officer knocked on the
door of the residence and
the door opened. The of-
ficer observed both male
and female teenagers
drinking bud light inside
the residence. The officer
then met with the resident
of the home (Henkin), who
told the officer that she
and her boyfriend had just
arrived home and found
the teenagers to be having
a party. The officer had
been on scene of the loca-
tion for a length of time
while waiting for back up
officers to arrive and knew
that Henkin was not tell-
ing the truth. Henkin was
placed under arrest. At
this point, Browder told
the officer that the home
belonged to him rather
than Henkin. He was also
placed under arrest for
contributing to the delin-
quency of minors.
UNLAWFUL DRIVING
Sharon K Gonzales, 64,
of 109 Snow St. Greer, has
been charged with driving
under unlawful alcohol
concentration (2nd). Ac-
cording to incident re-
ports, officers responded
to Long John Silvers on
W. Wade Hampton Blvd in
reference to a drunk driv-
er. Upon arrival, the offi-
cer met with complainants
who stated that the driver
of the parked vehicle had
committed numerous
driving violations and was
driving very erratically be-
fore turning into the Long
John Silvers parking lot.
The officers then observed
the subject (Gonzalez),
who was very unsteady
on her feet walking out
of the restaurant. The of-
ficers told Gonzalez that
they had received com-
plaints about her driving
and wanted to make sure
she was OK to drive. After
noticing a strong odor of
alcohol, coming from her
person, an officer conduct-
ed a HGN test on Gonzalez
that she failed. The officer
then learned that Gonza-
lez had a provisional driv-
ers license due to a prior
DUI conviction. She was
arrested and transported
to the Greer City Jail,where
she blew a .18 percent on a
breathalyzer.
FROM PAGE ONE
there are small children as
well. To quiet the scream-
ing and diffuse the chaos
of the situation, the first
order of business is to
split up the fighting cou-
ple, taking the man and
the woman into differ-
ent rooms to get separate
statements.
If police determine one
party has inflicted physi-
cal injury on the other,
they are required by law
to arrest that person. This
process, the officers claim,
is often fraught with dan-
ger.
There have been inci-
dents where officers have
been killed arresting a CDV
[perpetrator] on the scene
because the other person
doesnt want them to go
to jail, says Forrester.
Such an implausible
chain of events works to
symbolize the insanity of
domestic violence. Often
a victim will try to defend
or rescue their abusive
partner even after he or
she has hurt them. This
is why its so critical that
officers get a statement at
the scene because there
is a lot of time for the vic-
tim to recant before the
suspect goes to trial. Such
statements have enabled
Richardson to obtain con-
victions even when the
complainant doesnt ap-
pear in court.
While arresting or jailing
a domestic abuser is one
thing, the sergeants insist
that getting a partner to
leave a violent relation-
ship is something else al-
together.
I think a lot of the gen-
eral public always has the
feeling that if people are
in these bad relationships,
then why do they stay in
them, Richardson ex-
plains. That is a mis-
conception that I had early
on as an officer. Sometimes
the victim staying there,
as bad as it sounds, some-
times keeps the peace. A
lot of times its easier to
let them handle the situ-
ation themselves instead
of judging them for what
they dont do.
Forrester admits that
the situation can get es-
pecially complicated when
kids are in the equation.
If there are kids in-
volved, you are pulling
them out of the household.
Its taking their world and
just blowing it up and
causing that much more
stress. At a certain point,
you would think that [vic-
tims] are going to get re-
lief at the end, but starting
the process is very stress-
ful for the people who are
involved.
Forrester and Richard-
son claim that state CDV
laws often change, and as
a result they must attend
annual classes to stay up
on things. They say that,
on a local level, Greer Mu-
nicipal judge Henry Mims
makes a valiant effort to
tailor the [CDV] sentence
to the situation and try to
prevent it from reoccur-
ring as best he can.
For instance, offenders
can opt to take rehabili-
tative steps such as job
searching, drug testing and
anger management classes
instead of just serving out
their jail sentence.
Courts arent taking it
(CDV) lightly, says For-
rester. But there is also
only so much that [court
officials] can do according
to the law, and that kind
of ties their hands and our
hands up.
The following are some
of the other insights about
CDV that Forrester and
Richardson offered over
the course of our inter-
view:
1. Cases of women as-
saulting men are far more
prevalent than most be-
lieve.
2. Each domestic fight
is different. Incompatible
personalities are often just
as much to blame as alco-
hol, drugs or jealousy. As
Richardson says, Certain
people are like fire and
gasoline. They just come
together and explode.
3. There is usually a cy-
cle to domestic violence,
where a couple will fight,
the abuser will apologize
and the victim will take
them back. Richardson ex-
plains, By the time it gets
to us, its been going on
quite a while. When we get
the call, it has really really
gotten out of hand.
4. Just as spousal abuse
has a cycle, it is often part
of a cycle. Children are in-
herently wired to imitate
their parents. Says Rich-
ardson, Sometimes you
can look at peoples arrest
records and see back two
or three generations of the
same thing.
5. Not all CDVs take
place inside the home. In
fact, Forrester claims the
worst incident of domes-
tic violence that he ever
worked happened in a car.
6. Evidence of physical
abuse isnt always neces-
sary for officers to make
an arrest. If police deter-
mine either party is in
grave danger or fearing for
his or her life, they are at
liberty to arrest the other
person.

Advocate
shares his
story
BY AMANDA BRADFORD
STAFF WRITER
Two weeks ago, the
Greer Police Department
attended Crisis Interven-
tion Training (CIT) where
they heard Paton Bloughs
story about his struggle
with bipolar disorder that
led to him being arrested
six times.
Its because of his experi-
ence with arrests resulting
from his bipolar episodes
that Blough believes its
important for officers to
be trained how to properly
deal with individuals with
mental illness, which is the
purpose of CIT. According
to Blough, South Carolina
only requires four hours
of training specifically ad-
dressing mental illness,
but through a free 40-
hour CIT course depart-
ments can become better
equipped to handle these
situations, which Blough
believes saves lives.
We feel that although it
is not mandatory training,
it should be mandatory
training because you deal
with all sorts of people
while youre out on the
street you know victims
of crime or people that are
breaking the law, Lt. Jim
Holcombe said. So you
want to make sure you un-
derstand and can kind of
pick up on some clues of
people that might have a
mental illness or are hav-
ing some sort of problem
in their life at that time.
We try to ensure that ev-
ery one of our officers go
through that mental ill-
ness training.
The Greer Police Depart-
ment regularly handles
situations involving the
mentally ill, according to
Holcombe. In the training,
participants have three
days of classroom training
including speakers, such
as Blough, sharing their
stories and role-playing
to teach the best ways to
handle situations involv-
ing the mentally ill.
Prior to his first bipolar
episode in 2002, Blough
had never been arrested
and he worked in the tree
service and storm recovery
business for 18 years.
In 2002, I had my first
experience with bipolar
disorder, and I did OK for
a few years, but I was go-
ing through a divorce and
different things, a lot of
personal trauma but I was
doing OK business-wise.
I was keeping my life to-
gether, he said.
Shortly after helping
with cleanup following
Hurricane Katrina, Blough
had what he calls the
mother-of-all manic epi-
sodes.
I basically got very par-
anoid, he said.
Blough began accusing
local officials in Mississip-
pi of fraud, and in 2005 he
ended up being arrested
and for the first time was
put in a mental hospital
in Alabama. Over the next
several years, Blough con-
tinued to struggle with his
disorder and he ended up
in and out of hospitals and
jails.
I would become ex-
tremely paranoid of police
in particular, that they
were part of a grander
conspiracy, he said. Al-
though Bloughs delusions
would begin small, they
would escalate. His para-
noia reached to the extent
that he doubted the police
officers were with the po-
lice department, but rath-
er the KGB or the Nazis.
What happens is you
eventually think that half
the world is good and
half the world is evil, and
in that state of mind you
believe that youre the one
combating the evil or at
least that was my experi-
ence.
With the assistance of
his now wife and the Na-
tional Alliance of Mental
Illness (NAMI), Blough was
able to begin his recovery
process, battle legal issues
and become an advocate
for people with mental ill-
ness. Today, Blough takes
part in the CIT by sharing
his experiences with po-
lice officers so they can
understand how to best
approach and handle in-
dividuals with mental ill-
ness.
[NAMI] really helped
save my life quite frankly.
But after I retained a little
bit of stability in my life,
about three and a half
years ago I believe it was
here in Greer, I was able to
tell my story as part of the
Crisis Intervention Train-
ing for the first time, he
said.
Though never officially
diagnosed, Blough believes
he had Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder from his
arrest experiences, which
sometimes involved tas-
ers, pepper spray, and
three of which placed him
in hospitals.
Out of the six arrests
three went fairly well, and
I dont think the difference
was me so much as the
way the officers handled
me in that crisis, he said.
One good experience
Blough shares when he
speaks is when he was at
Applebees and became
paranoid people sitting at

FITZS FINAL
THOUGHTS
JOEL
FITZPATRICK
B

I dont
envy them
L
ast week was a diffi-
cult one to be a coach.
While golfing in
Charlotte on Saturday,
Denver Broncos coach
John Fox began to feel
lightheaded and was
taken to a local hospital.
It was decided a surgery
to replace a valve in his
heart that Fox hoped to
put off until the end of
the season could wait no
longer.
On Sunday, Houston
Texans coach Gary Kubiak
collapsed at halftime of
his teams game against
the Indianapolis Colts. Ku-
biak was taken to a local
hospital and was treated
with an IV medicine -- tis-
sue plasminogen activa-
tor (tPA) -- designed to
break up blood clots, per
medical sources. Doctors
conducted tests Monday
to determine whether
he could have suffered a
stroke.
Coaching can be a dif-
ficult profession to be in
for a variety of reasons,
and you have to wonder
how much of a toll it
takes on the people who
do it.
I wasnt at last Fridays
game between Blue Ridge
and Greer, but I have
heard several accounts
of what happened. I
have also read a series
of quotes by coach Will
Young and how he is
kicking himself for tak-
ing three points off the
board in a game that was
eventually decided by one
point.
Im guilty of second-
guessing a coach as much
as the next person, and
had I been a Greer High
fan sitting in the stands
last Friday, I would have
possibly not agreed with
the decision that was
made.
But I pride myself in be-
ing an analytical person,
and cant help but wonder
what if about the call
that was made. What if
Greer would have instead
marched down the field
on that drive and scored a
touchdown? If the Yellow
Jackets would have done
so and increased their
lead to 16-3, would any-
one have second-guessed
the decision?
Leland Burch mentioned
in one of his articles
this week that had Greer
defeated Blue Ridge last
Friday, the Yellow Jackets
would have finished in
the exact same spot and
played the same Emerald
team this Friday.
Blue Ridge versus Greer
is a huge rivalry and the
Tigers earned bragging
rights for the next year.
Emanuel Kelly told me
last week that the Yel-
low Jackets are tired of
winning region champion
jackets every season and
instead want a state
championship ring.
If Greer wins its next
five games, four of which
would be at home, the
Yellow Jackets would earn
what Kelly and his team-
mates want most.
I havent heard the talk,
but hopefully Jacket Back-
ers arent ready to run
Coach Young out of town
for taking points off the
board.
If anything, maybe they
can learn from what has
happened at the Univer-
sity of Texas. Longhorn
fans were ready to run
coach Mac Brown off earli-
er this season, and on Sat-
urday he guided his team
to its fifth win in a row.
Texas has three ranked
teams left on its schedule,
but if the Longhorns can
continue to win and even-
tually earn a place in a
BCS bowl game, it will be
interesting to see if those
same fans are still ready
to see Brown leave.
Greer
to host
Emerald
BY LELAND BURCH
Greer will host a tough
Emerald squad out of
Greenwood to launch the
Class AAA football play-
offs this Friday at 7:30
p.m.
Although Greer placed
first in Region II on a tie-
breaker and Emerald fin-
ished fourth in Region I,
the two teams appear to
be evenly matched for
their first ever meeting.
In games against their
only common foe, Emer-
ald downed Seneca 27-17
while Greer dropped a
35-27 decision to the Bob-
cats.
The luck of the playoff
draw, like other recent
breaks, has gone against
the Yellow Jackets. This
years senior class was in
the third grade the last
time Greer had a cakewalk
in a playoff game, no mat-
ter how the team fared
during the regular season.
Emerald is very good,
and thats typical of the
way the playoffs have
gone for us. Said coach
Will Young, who should
consider re-sodding Dool-
ey Field with four-leaf clo-
ver after rolling the dice
by removing points from
the board that resulted in
a loss at Blue Ridge last
week.
Its never easy to lose a
big game to your rival like
we just did, Young said.
Even so, we are in the
same spot for the play-
offs that we would have
been if we had had won

The Blue Ridge Tigers
scored their biggest win
of the season last week by
defeating Greer.
Although both of those
schools finished with one
region loss, along with
Greenville, the Tigers
earned Region II-AAAs
number three seed via tie-
breaker, and will play at
Belton-Honea Path in the
first round of the Class
AAA playoffs on Friday.
This is another very
good team, coach Shane
Clark said. They are very
strong and physical. They
fly to the football and are
very good and consistent
at what they do.
The Bears finished the
season with 9-1 record,
their only loss a 10-0 set-
back to region foe Dan-
iel, the states top-ranked
team.
Offensively, they do a
lot of power-type things,
Clark said. They line up
and come right at you and
say you better find a way
to stop us.
They have a good run-
ning back and their offen-
sive line is strong. They
dont have the receiving
core they have had in the
past, but they are solid as
a group.
The defense is led by a
pair of talented lineback-
ers in Eric Boggs and Jo-
seph Kendall. Boggs is a
North/South selection, and
Kendall has been selected
to represent South Caro-
lina in the Shrine Bowl.

Four area high school
football players have been
selected to participate in
the 2013 Touchstone En-
ergy Cooperatives Bowl
North vs. South All-Star
game.
The 66th edition of the
contest will be played on
Dec. 14 at Doug Shaw Me-
morial Stadium in Myrtle
Beach.
Two players from Greer
and a pair from Byrnes
will represent the area.
Greer running back Quez
Nesbitt will be joined by
one of the offensive line-
man who has helped pave
the way for his success
this year, Rolland Nall.
Entering Fridays playoff
game, Nesbitt has rushed
for 1,829 yards and 23
touchdowns. Earlier this
season, Nesbitt became
the schools all-time lead-
ing rusher.
Joining Nesbitt in the
backfield will be Byrnes
quarterback Shuler Bent-
ley, who has thrown for
3,676 yards and 53 touch-
downs. Last Friday against
Dorman, Bentley set a
new state record for most
touchdown passes in a ca-
reer.
Fellow Rebel Tyreik
Lyles was also selected.
The defensive back has led
an impressive turnaround
in recent weeks. In four of
the last six games, Byrnes
has held opponents to a
combined 17 points. Two
of those games were shut-
outs, and the secondary
held Dormans talented
receiver, J.J. Arcega-White-
side, to five receptions for
39 yards last Friday.
Players will report on
Dec. 8. Twice daily prac-
tices for each team begin
the following morning and
continue through Friday
afternoon.

Following last Fridays showdown, Blue Ridge and Greer will both begin their quest for
the Class AAA state title this week.
Kick return
was only
touchdown
BY JOEL FITZPATRICK
SPORTS EDITOR
For the first time all
season last Friday, the
Greer Yellow Jackets were
held without an offensive
touchdown in their 10-9
loss to Blue Ridge.
Chris Pittman had a lot
to do with that, earning
The Greer Citizen-Owens
Insurance Defensive Player
of the Week honors with
12 tackles, one tackle for a
loss, a sack and a quarter-
back knockdown.
It still feels pretty
good, Pittman said. This
is the first time our senior
class has defeated Greer
on the varsity level.
Blue Ridge led the low-
scoring battle at halftime,
3-0.
I expected a higher scor-
ing game, Pittman said. I
was a little nervous, but I
was confident in my team
that we could pull though
it.
The Tigers fell behind 9-
3 but eventually regained
the lead for good.
I was really confident
when we went up 10-9,
Pittman said. (After Greer
failed to convert on fourth
down of its last posses-
sion) I knew we had it.
I knew that our offense
could just run the clock
out.
This Friday, the Tigers
will open the Class AAA
state playoffs with a trip
to Belton-Honea Path.
They are a good, strong
team, but we can out-pre-
pare them, Pittman said.
They expect us to be the
underdog. To beat them,
its going to take prepa-
ration, focus and hard
work.
Pittman believes that the
win over Greer will add to
the teams confidence.
Our confidence is pret-
ty high, Pittman said. We
beat our biggest rival, and
it was against a really good
team.

Riverside coach Phil
Smith looked at tape of the
Dorman Cavaliers over the
weekend, but was already
familiar with the team his
Warriors will play in the
regular season finale on
Friday.
Before coming to Riv-
erside this season, Smith
had spent the previous six
seasons as an assistant at
Dorman.
I think it will be fun,
Smith said. Six years
seems like a long time,
but it went by quickly. The
kids will be excited to play
there. Its a beautiful facil-
ity. You cant play in a bet-
ter venue.
From August until late
November of every year,
the coaching staff was to-
gether six days a week. I
will be seeing some friends
I havent seen in a while.
One of those familiar
faces will be Dorman Head
Coach Dave Gutshall.
Going against Coach
Gutshall will be fun, Smith
said. I think the world of
that guy. He has a tremen-
dous offensive mind and
sees things before other
people do.
Smith will also see sev-
eral familiar faces in the
players, on both sides of
the ball.
At 240 pounds, Shon-
drell Keenan reminds me
a lot of Christian Okoye,
who was known as the Ni-
gerian Nightmare when he
played for the Kansas City
Chiefs, Smith said. For
his size, he has great feet
and can really run the ball
well.
Obviously, (wide receiv-
er) J.J. Arcega-Whiteside
is something special. He
has won some games for
them this season, and has
been on the radar of a lot
of colleges since he was a
freshman.
The quarterback is
a dual threat, and they
have a big offensive line.
All of that shows up on
film. Johnathan Jackson
has tremendous speed
for a defensive end, and
Christian Maroni is a good
second-year starter at line-
backer.
Smiths message to his
team this week will be the
same as it has been all sea-
son.
My message will be to
continue to work hard
and approach this like any
other game, Smith said.
It may be our last one of
the season, but its still a
game we have to play. We
will try to go out and win
the game. Thats why we
play.

At 5-foot-10 and 205
pounds, Case Gregory
doesnt look like a typical
offensive lineman.
I started playing the po-
sition in the ninth grade,
Gregory said. I played de-
fensive line and linebacker
before that. One day in
practice, we were doing a
drill called Nitro, and the
coaches liked the way I ex-
ploded off the line. Thats
when I got moved.
The move has been pay-
ing off for both Gregory
and the Rebels through-
out his career, and did so
again last Friday against
Dorman. Gregory earned
The Greer Citizen-Owens
Insurance Offensive Play-
er of the Week honors by
grading out a 90 percent
and tallying three knock-
down blocks and two key
blocks that resulted in
touchdowns in the Rebels
54-14 victory.
Playing offensive line in
this offense is pretty ex-
citing, Gregory said. We
score a lot of touchdowns,
and I like helping the quar-
terback and running backs
look good.
The offensive line helped
paved the way for more
than 500 yards of offense.
I wasnt surprised that
it was a blowout, Gregory
said. The coaches pre-
pared us pretty well.
The night also included
a pair of record-breaking
performances when Shae-
don Meadors set a new
school record for touch-
down receptions in a sea-
son and Shuler Bentley
broke the state record for
career touchdown passes.
I was real excited when
they broke those records,
Gregory said. As linemen,
we feel like we are contrib-
uting to them.
This week, Gregory and
the Rebels will end the
regular season against a
Wade Hampton team that
will enter the game with a
3-7 mark.
Anything can happen,
so you always have to
play hard, Gregory said.
We are really focused. We
practice hard every day.

FROM B1
They primarily run a
four-man front, Clark
said. They try to control
the line of scrimmage and
put a lot of pressure on
you.
Clark said that there
wasnt one team on Blue
Ridges schedule that was
just like B-HP.
Their thought process
is similar to Greers, but
their style of play is more
like Pickens, he said.
Ending the regular sea-
son with a big win should
give the Tigers a confi-
dence boost going into the
postseason.
We are getting better
each week, so we should
be playing with a lot of
confidence, Clark said.
We will have to be at the
top of our game Friday. It
will be a challenge to score
on them, so we cant leave
any points on the field.
With a win on Friday, the
Tigers would either travel
to Broome or host Seneca
in the second round.
FROM B1
that game. We still have
our same goals, and every-
thing is in front of us like
it is supposed to be this
time of year. I think our
kids understand that, even
though you dont want to
go into the playoffs or any-
where else with a loss. We
have got to learn from the
last game and turn things
around by winning.
Last year, we had been
winning a bunch of games
by big scores, and then we
got in a really tight game
with Union and didnt han-
dle it well. So maybe the
Blue Ridge game will help
from that standpoint.
Young is especially anx-
ious to get his teams of-
fense untracked. After pil-
ing up huge scores while
rolling to eight straight
wins, the offense failed to
put a single point on the
board at Blue Ridge.
Our offensive line
didnt block well. They
got whipped up front a
few times. Blue Ridge did
some different things on
defense, and they played
very well, he said. Our
defense played well last
week. Thats one thing
we have going for us, and
playing good defense is
especially important in the
playoffs.
Greer hopes to have all-
time leading rusher Quez
Nesbitt at full strength to
welcome Emerald as a new
member of the Peach Blos-
som region in 2014. Nes-
bitt missed the Southside
game with a thigh bruise
and suffered leg cramps
at Blue Ridge because he
hadnt practiced in more
than a week, Young ex-
plained.
The Yellow Jackets may
have the services of line-
backer Jake Purvis, who
sat out last week with an
ankle sprain, but defen-
sive back DeAndre Moren
is out for the season with
a torn ACL.
Fortunately Zeke Wh-
iteside has come in and
played pretty well there,
Young said.
If Greer is to advance to
the second round to meet
the winner of Woodruff
and Westwood, then Pur-
vis and company will have
to shut down the Emerald
spread offense. Theyre
good, Young said of the
Vikings. They have a good
running back and a quar-
terback who throws it re-
ally well to one of the best
receivers we have seen
this year. Hes better than
Mason Covey at Pickens.
Defensively, Emerald
is very similar to Union,
personnel-wise, he said.
They have a big defen-
sive line, especially one of
their tackles who is a state
champion wrestler.
One positive note for
the Yellow Jackets is that
Emerald is also arriving on
a down note, coming off a
loss to Belton-Honea Path,
31-7, in a game that was
tied at halftime.

TIGERS: Bears think like Greer, play like Pickens

Our confdence is
pretty high. We beat
our biggest rival,
and it was against a
really good team.

In regular
season
finale
BY LELAND BURCH
Taking points off the
board may have prevented
Greer from escaping from
Death Valley North with a
two-point win in the Peach
Blossom Region football
showdown at Blue Ridge
on Friday night.
With his team hold-
ing a 9-3 lead despite be-
ing outplayed, coach Will
Young opted to erase Nick
Robersons 35-yard field
goal in order to accept
a 15-yard penalty that
gained a first down. But
Greer failed to score when
Blue Ridge forced a much
shorter field goal try that
was wide of the mark from
a poor angle.
Yeah, Id like to have
those three points back.
Im going to regret that
decision a long time,
Young said. I thought we
could get a touchdown or
at least another field goal
while running some time
off the clock.
Instead, quarterback
Ty Montgomery led Blue
Ridge 80 yards to the op-
posite end zone to take
the 10-9 victory and create
a three-way tie with Green-
ville for the title. Greer
finished first based on
defensive points allowed,
followed by the Red Raid-
ers and Blue Ridge.
The annual rivalry
match ended like several
others in recent years with
the favored team losing.
Greer had reeled off eight
straight wins, sailing un-
defeated through the re-
gion, only to never get un-
tracked when the offense
failed to score for the first
time this year. Blue Ridges
swarming defenders went
over and around the larger
Yellow Jackets line to hold
a gimpy Quez Nesbitt to
81 yards, his fewest since
the opening loss to Sene-
ca. And finding few receiv-
ers open in the secondary,
quarterback Mario Cusano
completed only seven of
18 passes.
We played hard, but we
played poorly. We never
got into a rhythm, run-
ning or passing, Young
said. But give Blue Ridge
credit. They played a heck
of a game.
Greers defense was
nearly as tenacious as the
Tigers, fighting off sev-
eral threats and scoring
a safety before sagging
under the weight of penal-
ties and Montgomerys air
assault.
The Yellow Jackets
failed to cross midfield in
the first half and dodged
several bullets with their
backs to the wall.
Shortly after Montgom-
ery hooked up with Tay
Jenkins for a 59-yard gain,
Melvin Smith skirted 15
yards around left end for a
touchdown. But the score
was nullified by a holding
penalty, and the Tigers
settled for a 42-yard field
goal that missed with 8:57
remaining in the half.
The Tigers were soon
knocking at the door again
when Montgomery found
Smith on a 38-yard pass
for a first down at the six.
Again, the Yellow Jackets
held for three downs, and
Jon Michael Bright kicked
a 23-yard field goal as Blue
Ridge took a 3-0-halftime
lead.
ANOTHER STATEMENT
Blue Ridge stuffed
Greers opening posses-
sion of the second half to
make another statement.
But the tables turned when
Yellow Jacket sophomore
Jake Arrowood booted a
55-yard punt that backed
the Tigers up to their own
six-yard line. Two plays
later, Emanuel Kelly, aided
by Nakeem Hoke, sacked
Montgomery in the end
zone for a safety, trim-
ming Blue Ridges lead to
3-2.
Kelly went from hero to
super hero when he re-
turned the ensuing kickoff
70 yards for a touchdown,
bowling over several Tigers
along the way. Robinsons
conversion gave Greer the
9-3 lead.
The Yellow Jackets
launched a drive late in
the third period when
Nesbitt got for loose for a
16-yard gain and Cusano
delivered a 35-yard strike
to Dorian Lindsey. But a
pair of penalties pushed
the Jackets back to the 21-
yard line, where Robinson
kicked the field goal that
was turned down.
Greer accepted a first
down at the 12 after Blue
Ridge was flagged for
roughing the kicker. But
the Tigers stopped the
Yellow Jackets three run-
ning attempts that led to
the missed field goal from
the left hash mark.
The Tigers took over at
the 20-yard line and got
first downs on an 11-yard
Montgomery-to-Clifton
Duck pass. That was fol-
lowed by penalties of five
and 15 yards against the
Yellow Jackets. Montgom-
ery then delivered a 15-
yard strike to Smith before
bulldozing his way for a
first down at the eight on
two carries. Three plays
later, the Tigers were fac-
ing third-and goal when
Montgomery found Brian
Garrett on the end zone
sideline for the touch-
down. Brights extra point
put Blue Ridge ahead 10-9
with 3:04 remaining.
Nesbitt came back with
two rushes for 13 yards,
but Greer was forced to
take to the air with time
running out. Cusano com-
pleted two of three passes
for a net five yards be-
fore Zach Odom batted
down his last attempt on
a fourth down blitz.
Blue Ridge, finishing at
8-2 overall, got the bet-
ter of the stats with 13
first downs on 252 total
yards. Montgomery com-
pleted 19 of 28 passes for
198 yards, and the ground
game added 54 yards.
Greer managed just
eight first downs on 184
yards. The Yellow Jackets
had 69 yards rushing and
115 passing yards. Cusano
was sacked three times for
losses totaling 17 yards.
Penalties and turnovers
hurt the Yellow Jackets,
who were flagged 11 times
for 80 yards, lost one fum-
ble after a long punt re-
turn and had one pass in-
tercepted. Blue Ridge did
not have a turnover and
was penalized four times
for 35 yards.

Byrnes is a team that can
only pass the ball and the
key to beating the Rebels
is by taking that part of
the offense away from
them.
Someone may want to
let Byrnes in on that secret
because the Rebels obvi-
ously arent aware of it.
Last Friday at Nixon
Field, Dorman focused on
taking the passing game
away from Byrnes. The
Rebels responded by rush-
ing for 346 yards in the 54-
14 win over the Cavaliers,
giving them the Region II-
AAAA title and home field
advantage in the upcoming
Division I state playoffs.
We said before the sea-
son that we wanted to run
the football, coach Bobby
Bentley said. We wanted
to run it not dictated on
what the defense was giv-
ing us, but just run the
football based on what
we wanted to do. We were
able to do that tonight.
Junior running back Isa-
iah Hill set the tone on
the first play of the game,
running for 66 yards and
advancing the ball down
to the Dorman one-yard
line. Quarterback Shuler
Bentley scored on the next
play, giving the Rebels a 7-
0 lead 27 seconds into the
contest.
Hills five-yard run
with 4:09 remaining in
the opening period and
Holden Owens extra point
pushed the lead to 14-0.
After Dorman cut the lead
in half with 42 seconds re-
maining, Byrnes increased
the lead back to 14 points
in just two plays. Bentley
hit Greg McHam for 13
yards and then Shaedon
Meadors for a 40-yard
scoring strike.
The Rebels pulled away
in the second quarter.
Najee Bowens scored on
61-yard run and McHam
raced past the Dorman de-
fense for a 17-yard touch-
down, making the score
34-7.
Most people havent
seen us run much, but it
adds to what we can do
on offense, said Bowens,
who rushed for 147 yards
on just six carries. People
may think its tough to be
a running back in this of-
fense because we pass as
much as we do, but we
still practice hard and it
shows.
After Dorman cut the
lead to 34-14 with 48
seconds remaining in the
first half, Byrnes drove 43
yards in three plays and
ended the half with a 44-
yard field goal by Owens.
The Rebels scored the
only points of the second
half with two touchdowns
and a field goal. Bentley
hooked up with Meadors
on both touchdowns, one
for 33 yards and the other
for 17, and Owens added a
27-yard kick.
The 33-yard pass play
from Bentley to Meadors
gave the quarterback a
new state-record 157 ca-
reer touchdown passes,
and his receiver a school-
record 24th touchdown
reception on the season.
He and I have been do-
ing this together since the
second grade, Bentley
said. We are best friends
and breaking that record
with him was one of my
favorite moments.
Bentley also has praise
for the running game.
Coach (Freddie) Brown
is the best running backs
coach I have been around,
Bentley said. He has not
only made Isaiah and
Najee better runners, he
has also made me a better
runner.

The Riverside Warriors
lost their 18th consecutive
game on Friday, falling 14-
6 to visiting Wade Hamp-
ton (3-7). Both teams en-
tered the contest without
a Region II-AAAA victory.
Friday was a hard loss,
especially for the seniors,
coach Phil Smith said. The
ones who give it their all
every Friday, those are the
ones who are really upset
and frustrated after these
losses.
Riverside was within
striking distance at half-
time, trailing 7-0.
Defensively, I thought
we were playing pretty
well, Smith said. That
Wing-T offense is tough to
simulate in practice dur-
ing the week, so to only
be down seven points
was something that I was
pleased with.
The Warriors cut the
lead to 7-3 with 6:21 re-
maining in the third quar-
ter on a 27-yard field goal
by Teddy Mafre, but Wade
Hampton responded with
a touchdown that pushed
the advantage to 14-3. Riv-
ersides only other score
came on a 28-yard field
goal in the fourth quarter.
I thought there were a
few adjustments we had
to make in the second half,
and we were right there in
the game, Smith said. It
just wasnt meant to be.
Riverside struggled of-
fensively, tallying 138 to-
tal yards.
I was disappointed
in not throwing the ball
as well as we had been,
Smith said. And our run-
ning game was sporadic.
Mario Funes played but
was hampered by an an-
kle injury, and Emmanuel
Jackson was out with an
ankle injury.

Eastsides 2013 cam-
paign came to a close last
Friday with a 40-7 loss to
Greenville.
The Eagles led 7-0 af-
ter the first quarter on a
25-yard pass from Drake
Turnquist to Reed Bearden,
but Greenville scored three
times in the second quar-
ter to take a 20-7 halftime
lead. The Red Raiders add-
ed a pair of scores in the
third quarter and another
in the fourth.
We went back to mak-
ing some of the mistakes
that we had been mak-
ing earlier in the season,
coach Jeff Thomason said.
We still felt like we were
right there in the game at
halftime. The defense was
playing well, but we just
didnt get things straight-
ened out in the second
half.
Eastside finished the
season with a 3-7 mark,
scoring wins over River-
side, Berea and Travelers
Rest. The Eagles finished
sixth in Region II-AAA.
We had a lull in the
middle of the season,
Thomason said. After we
lost to Blue Ridge (week
four), we didnt get back
on track until the Travel-
ers Rest game (week nine).
We were capable of doing
better, but I did see us
grow this season.
The Eagles will be hit
hard by graduation, but
Thomason is excited about
the future of the program.
We had 21 seniors,
Thomason said. What
they did, as far as teach-
ing these younger kids,
will help us in the future.
We will be young as far as
age, but we will be good
as far as experience. From
the varsity down to the D-
Team, we played 39 games
this season. We will be a
better team next season.
Thomasons goal is for
Eastside to be able to com-
pete with teams like Greer,
Blue Ridge and Greenville
for region titles.
Its going to take time,
Thomason said. When
you look at a team like
Greer, it seems like every
year they have an athlete
who comes into the pro-
gram and makes a differ-
ence. We are getting to the
point where kids want to
be a part of our program.
They arent looking to get
special permission to go
to another school. We are
moving in the right direc-
tion.

MANDY FERGUSON | THE GREER CITIZEN
Vonta Jenkins and the Blue Ridge Tigers used a fourth quarter touchdown and a late
defensive stop to defeat rival Greer on Friday, 10-9.
Everything seemed to be bouncing Byrnes way Friday.
Shaedon Meadors eventually made this catch.
Mario Funes and the Riverside Warriors were only able to manage a pair of feld goals in
last Fridays 14-6 loss to Wade Hampton.
Warriors fall to Generals

Eastsides season ends with loss
The ones who give it their all every Friday,
those are the ones who are really upset
and frustrated after these losses.

Rebels to visit Wade Hampton
BY JOEL FITZPATRICK
SPORTS EDITOR
Fresh off their region-ti-
tle clinching win over Dor-
man last week, the Byrnes
Rebels will close out the
regular season on Friday
with a trip to Wade Hamp-
ton.
They run the Wing-T of-
fense, so our goal will be
keep them off the field as
much as possible, coach
Bobby Bentley said. That
offense is capable of tak-
ing a lot of time off the
clock, which is what we
want to avoid.
Bentley said the Reb-
els will prepare for Wade
Hamptons offense
throughout the week.
We will have blocks
of practice where we will
simulate what they do,
Bentley said. Fortunately,
Coach (Mo) Dixon is famil-
iar with it from when he
coached in Georgia. That
offense is used a lot more
there, so he has a lot of ex-
perience with it.
Byrnes will enter the
contest with a 9-1 record
and is undefeated in Re-
gion II-AAAA, while Wade
Hampton is 3-7 overall
and earned its first region
win last week at Riverside.
Bentley said one of the
goals this week will be
to remain focused as the
playoffs begin next week.
We will try to treat this
week like a playoff week,
Bentley said. We will do
what we can to stay fo-
cused. We have built up
a lot of momentum going
into this week, and its im-
portant to keep that mo-
mentum going.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2013 THE GREER CITIZEN B7
BY KATIE JONES
STAFF WRITER
Every month, a group
gathers in the activity
building at Faith United
Methodist, where they
make pillows for local
childrens hospitals, baby
blankets for womens
shelters and other orga-
nizations and learn more
about their shared love of
quilting.
Ive tried to make us as
active as I can and not let
us get stale, which is easy
too do, said Barbara Sum-
mer, Peach Patchers Quilt
Guild president.
Made up of about 30 ac-
tive members, the group
does it for the children,
Summer said.
Just knowing that these
children would have a sur-
prise. They would have
something that they could
hold onto that someone
else had made for them.
They can take them home
with them.
Quilting goes back to
Summers own childhood.
My mother always
quilted, but I didnt start
really start quilting until
I retired, Summer said. I
just never had the timeI
like the finished product. I
like putting colors togeth-
er and designing or even
just following a pattern
just the creativity of it, I
guess.
Carolyn Jones, a Peach
Patchers member, got her
quilting start in a similar
fashion: from her mother.
She taught quilting for a
while as an adult.
I had people coming
from Travelers Rest, I
had people from Green-
ville, I had people coming
from Spartanburg, just
all around, said Jones, a
longtime Greer resident.
Recently, the group
made 172 comfort pil-
lows, which went to the
Childrens Hospital of the
Greenville Health System
and the Shriners Hospital.
The pillows that go to
children at the hospital
give them something soft
to hold onto when they
get worried, which is very
important for a lot of our
kids, said Emily Durham, a
child life supervisor at the
Childrens Hospital of the
Greenville Health System.
But it also lets them
know that people in the
community are caring
about them, Durham said.
Its nice to know when
somebody else is think-
ing about youKnowing
somebody cares lifts your
spirits.
Any of the patients in
the Childrens Hospital
can get a pillow, she said.
The patients range from
birth to 21 years old.
We do make sure to get
them to children who have
experienced a trauma or
have a new diagnosis or
are having surgery, those
kinds of thing, she said.
The Childrens Hospital
works with several Upstate
quilt guilds, Durham said.
We appreciate people
in the community sharing
their talents with the kids
here, she said.
The Peach Patchers meet
at 6:30 p.m. monthly on
the fourth Tuesday in the
Faith United Methodist ac-
tivity building. Every April,
the group has an exhibit
at the Greer Heritage Mu-
seum.

Walking Across Egypt
is a story people in this
area will relate to in a big
way, said Director Allen
McCalla.
I read the book, McCal-
la said. I always thought,
That is such a great story.
Its perfect for our audi-
ence here in this area and
I think they would love it
if it was ever made into a
play.
Walking Across Egypt,
by Catherine Bush and
based on the novel of the
same name by Clyde Edg-
erton, is wonderful story
about a little old southern
lady in rural North Caro-
lina who goes through life-
changing events and really
finds purpose in life, Mc-
Calla said.
Its very funny along the
way but very inspirational,
too, he said. Its sort of
life a Driving Miss Daisy.
Its wonderful.
The play has a stellar
local cast, McCalla said.
We are a showplace for
the local performers here
and this show highlights
some really terrific local
performers, he said.
Wofford Jones, former-
ly of Greer, plays Finner
Swanson, the crazy next
door neighbor.
We take everything too
literally, he said of his
character and his wife,
Alora Swanson, played by
Beth Munson.
We take things and
make them more than
what it is, Jones said.
Were always causing
chaos thats not really
there. Nothings really go-
ing on, but we just make it
10 times worse than what
it is. Thats where a lot
of the comedy moments
come from, is us taking it
too literal or over the top
or whats really not going
on.
Originally from Charles-
ton, Jones said he could re-
late to some of the things
that happened from child-
hood.
It appealed to me from
a heritage-type standpoint
as well, he said. But,
just the overall story, ev-
erything fits together so
nicely. Its like all the dif-
ferent peaks and valleys of
the story, the things that
the neighbors, my charac-
ter and Beths character,
we are taken out of con-
text and we make it more
than what it is. But when
everything comes together
at the end of act II, every-
thing is so chaotic in the
first act, but then all the
pieces come together.
The family-friendly play
starts at 8 p.m. Nov. 7, 8
and 9 and Nov. 10 at 3
p.m. at the Greenville Lit-
tle Theatre, 444 College
St., Greenville.
Tickets are $28 for
adults, and discounts
are available for seniors,
youths and groups. For
more information, call the
box office at 233-6238.

The Greer Citizen
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 2013 THE GREER CITIZEN B9
By Sam Struckhof
NEW RELEASES FOR WEEK
OF NOV. 18
PICKS OF THE WEEK
Planes (PG) -- This
animated spin-off of Pix-
ars Cars follows Dusty
Crophopper (voiced by
Dane Cook), a talking
airplane whos afraid of
heights. Despite his fears,
Dusty is determined to
win an around-the-world
airplane race -- pitting him
against the fastest and
most advanced planes in
the world. True to the for-
mula played out by Cars
2 and Turbo, our hero
will meet many other talk-
ing planes with silly per-
sonalities that border on
racial stereotypes.
Its no surprise that this
originally was planned as
a straight-to-video ven-
ture. The best jokes will go
right over the kids heads
-- and arent entertaining
enough for most grown-
ups. The kids probably
will have more fun playing
with the toys than watch-
ing the movie.
Were the Millers (R)
-- David (Jason Sudeikis)
is a mid-30s slacker -- a
no-ambition, small-time
pot dealer who sells to
all types except children.
When he gets mugged of
his money and merchan-
dise, David has to pay off
his debt by bringing the
next shipment up from
Mexico. He recruits a pre-
tend family to help him
get through the border
without suspicion -- the
stripper-next-door (Jen-
nifer Aniston), a hopeless
dork (Will Poulter) and an
aggressive runaway teen
(Emma Roberts) fill the
roles of his fake suburban
wife and kids.
For a raunchy, over-the-
line comedy, the film is
surprisingly quick-wit-
ted and enjoyable. A few
scenes might make you
squirm (a tarantula bites
an unfortunate area), but
all in all, the runtime is
a funny, somewhat cyni-
cal take on the American
Dream that seems so bi-
zarre to so many.
2 Guns (R) -- Denzel
Washington and Mark
Wahlberg play two bank-
robbing buddies hiding
a secret from each other
-- theyre both crooked
law-enforcement agents
trying to entrap each oth-
er. Washington is a DEA
agent, and Wahlberg is a
naval intelligence officer.
Theres more to the plot
than that; however, this is
the type of movie where
plot development is some-
thing that happens be-
tween explosive gun fights
and bouts of banter. If you
like your buddy action
flicks a little bit tougher, a
little bit louder with a lot
more shooting, then you
can enjoy this rental.
The Worlds End (R)
-- A handful of thirtysome-
things, lead by their delu-
sional friend (Simon Pegg),
try to finish a drinking
challenge they took up as
reckless teens. Then a sci-
ence-fiction/action movie
intrudes on their reflective
comedy as alien imposters
come flailing at the flabby
old friends. Its the third
movie in a line of barely
related flicks starting with
Shaun of the Dead. The
jokes come at you fast -
- almost as rapidly as the
movies gears shift from
funny, to touching, to ac-
tion packed. Just when
you think you know where
its all going, another sur-
prise hits the screen like a
projectile in an alien bar
fight.

COUCH THEATER |
Scene from The Worlds
End

BY KATIE JONES
STAFF WRITER
Arvie Bennett Jr. wasnt
looking to start a band.
Bennett grew up sing-
ing in the church choir,
learned guitar as a teen
and said, music was kind
of always there.
But the Arvie Jr. Band
was born anyway.
It was just something
that kind of happened
over a six-month period,
Bennett said. We started
playing shows. It seemed
to work, we just kept do-
ing it.
The CD release party
for Carolina Smile, the
bands first album, starts
at 8 p.m. on Nov. 9 at the
Mason Jar. Admission is
free and the CD will be
available for $10 and has
eight original songs of
country, pop and a little
bit of Southern rock in
there.
The band will play the
eight originals, along with
covers.
Everybodys welcome,
he said.
In a way, its kind of a
thank you to the Greer
community for what
theyve done for us in a
lot of ways, Bennett said.
They gave us our start.
The band plays a little
bit of everything, Bennett
said.
Our drummer came up
with the term funky soul
country, is what we call it,
he said.
Singer-songwriters like
Bob Dylan, James Taylor
and Jim Croce are some of
Bennetts personal influ-
ences.
I want my words to be
heard. Thats a big deal to
me, he said. When you
hear our songs, you can
hear the words. I dont
want the words to be
played over.
Bennett has been playing
professionally for about
five years, but only about
a year and a half with the
rest of the Arvie Jr. Band.
We started out playing
in Greer, playing Rhythm &
Brews, Stomping Grounds,
all the downtown places,
Bennett said. Greers kind
of our hometown thats
why we wanted come back
and do our CD release (in)
Downtown Greer, with the
first full-band CD.
From Greenwood, Ben-
nett said Greer has turned
out to be a great music
town.
Especially a good be-
ginning town to start your
music career in, he said.
Or it seems to be for us. A
very nice place. Businesses
give a lot of first-time art-
ists chances to come in
and play.

Rating: 8 out of 10
N
early a quarter
century after start-
ing out, Pearl Jam
seems to be having more
fun performing than ever.
Touring in support of
their superb new album,
Lightning Bolt, the
Seattle rockers have been
playing marathon three-
hour shows all down the
East coast.
But even after reeling
off a dozen such concerts
in the last three weeks,
the middle-aged outfit
still had plenty in the
tank when they arrived at
Charlottes Time Warner
Cable Arena Wednesday
night. They threw it all
out there new songs,
classics, rarities and cov-
ers -- and nearly all of it
stuck.
The lights went dark
at 8:25, and the band
began the show with a
slow burn. Starting with
the haunting new song,
Pendulum, singer Eddie
Vedder made it known
within seconds that his
voice, even at 48, remains
frighteningly piercing and
powerful. For most of the
first hour, the band mixed
new songs with lesser-
known tracks. The under-
stated start didnt seem
to matter too much to the
capacity crowd, however,
which applauded even the
new tunes like they were
fan favorites.
The band, consisting
of Vedder, bassist Jeff
Ament, drummer Matt
Cameron and guitarists
Mike McCready and Stone
Gossard, didnt bust out
the classics until the ninth
song. Then they served
up Jeremy and Daugh-
ter back-to-back and
completed the trifecta
with the blazing tour de-
but of Getaway, the up-
tempo opening track from
the new album. Vedders
childlike excitement for
the new song combined
with Camerons thumping
drums and McCreadys
screaming guitar runs to
make it one of the shows
high points.
The other standout of
the set was Immortal-
ity. This moody, seldom
played ballad from the
1994 Vitalogy album
featured McCreadys
most blistering solo of
the night. As for Ament,
he showed off his talents
on structurally complex
numbers like Given to
Fly, and a surprising
cover of The Who classic
The Real Me.
In a way, its a shame
that Vedder is such
a magnetic rock star,
because his emotion and
charisma often over-
shadow his supporting
players. Cameron, for in-
stance, is probably one of
the top 20 drummers still
swatting the skins today.
The former Soundgarden
drummer especially dem-
onstrated his power and
speed on the nights final
two songs, Alive and
a cover of Dylans All
Along the Watchtower.
Whether he was down
on a knee screaming
out the last chorus of
Porch or sipping wine
and speaking jovially to
the crowd between songs,
it was clear that Vedder
was enjoying himself. He
took time out to salute
the wounded warriors in
the club level, and joked
about McCready going
topless in order to push
the new album to the top
of the charts.
As for Vedders physi-
cal and vocal health, they
both appeared in splen-
did shape Wednesday
night. He belted out the
old standbys (Black,
Better Man) with the
same conviction he did in
the 90s, while giving the
acoustic numbers (Off He
Goes, Bee Girl, El-
derly Woman) enough
tenderness and emotion
to send a chill down your
spine.
The blessing and curse
with Pearl Jam, is that
theyve made so much
music over the years. As
a result, youre never go-
ing to hear all of your fa-
vorite songs on any given
night. Of my favorite
15 PJ tunes (which were
named and detailed in
last weeks paper) 10 were
left off of Wednesdays
menu. Of course, thats
why there are hundreds
of fans who follow them
from town to town and
show to show.
The way they performed
in Charlotte last week
made you wish you were
one of those fans.

THE BEAUTIFUL
Thinking about his fight
with Katie, Bill lost focus
during a dangerous climb.
Wyatt went into a panic
when the diamond went
missing. Quinn pleaded
her sons case in the war
for Hopes affections.
Donna tried to reason with
Katie about the limits she
was putting on Bill regard-
ing shared custody. Mean-
while, Liam asked Katie if
she could objectively run
Spencer Publications if
she harbored such hatred
toward her ex. Caroline
began planning her and
Ricks wedding. After al-
most falling to his death,
Bill had a renewed outlook
on life. Carter was able
to get Mayas job back as
spokesmodel despite what
happened between her and
Rick. Brooke made a sac-
rifice for the sake of her
family. Wait to See: Wyatt
and Liam make a bet.
DAYS OF OUR LIVES
Marlena turned to Vic-
tor when she encountered
a problem with Kristens
flash drive. Nicole was

accusations. Jennifer de-
manded answers from
Daniel about his supposed
affair with Theresa. Rafe
sensed that Jordan was
pushing him away. Kris-
ten began carrying a gun.
Gabi received an unex-
pected email from a mod-
eling agency. A stunning
reveal brought Kristen
and Bradys wedding to a
halt. JJ felt guilty for his
role in Jennifers breakup
with Daniel. Cameron told
Abigail that he was leav-
ing town. JJ asked Theresa
if she remembered any-
thing about the night she
overdosed. Wait to See:
Kristen holds Marlena at
gunpoint.
GENERAL HOSPITAL
Britt told Elizabeth to
butt out of her and Niko-
lass relationship. Robin
missed her family. Luke re-
assured Tracy that he was
committed to her. Carly
was suspicious that Franco
was secretly sleeping with
Diane. Olivia witnessed
Morgan handing some-
thing off to Scott. Sam and
Silas made a date for the
art show. Heather arrived
early to the art show and
was shocked by what she
saw. Max was oblivious to
Dianes feelings for him.
Heather made a shocking
confession to the people
of Port Charles. Sam was
intrigued that Franco
was donating some of his
proceeds to leukemia re-
search. Michael wondered
why his brother was stay-
ing with Ava now that he
knew the truth about her.
Scott feared for his future.
Wait to See: Maxie seeks
revenge.
THE YOUNG AND
THE RESTLESS
Paul discovered that the
photos taken of Carmines
crime scene were miss-
ing. Neil scolded Cane for
being so hard on Hilary.
Chelsea signed Dylans
divorce papers without
protest. Adam freely al-
lowed the police to search
his SUV for evidence in
the hit-and-run that killed
little Delia. Jack believed
that Hilary should stay in
Genoa City and seek for-
giveness. Kevin informed
Chloe about the piece of
evidence that was found
from the SUV that hit De-
lia. Sharon made it known
to her daughter that she
and Nick were not getting
back together. Jill was fu-
rious at Victors plan to
fulfill Katherines wish to
unite their two companies.
A grieving Billy stopped
by to visit Connor after
his operation. Wait to See:
Nikki gathers her friends
and family to pay tribute
to Veterans Day.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I
would like to know the risk
of having a stroke when a
carotid artery has a block-
age. I was told that doctors
dont go by percentage of
blockage now. How is the
risk determined? -- K.C.
ANSWER: An obstruc-
tion in the carotid artery,
the neck artery that sup-
plies the brain with blood,
is not the only cause of a
stroke. A piece of a blood
clot that has broken off of a
main clot elsewhere in the
body and been swept into
a brain artery is another
cause of stroke. I mention
this to keep it clear that a
blocked carotid is but one
risk for a stroke.
The doctors I know still
use percentage of reduc-
tion in the interior of a ca-
rotid artery as a criterion
of stroke risk. With a 60
percent to 70 percent or
greater narrowing of the
carotid artery, people ben-
efit from the opening up
of the artery, using a va-
riety of procedures. Some
experts feel that a 60 per-
cent narrowing requires
only blood-thinning medi-
cation, such as aspirin.
Others feel that surgical
removal of the blockage is
indicated.
Other factors have to be
considered: the patients
age, the patients wishes
and the patients health
problems unrelated to the
artery problem.
The booklet on stroke
gives timely information
on this dreaded cause
of death and disability.
Readers can obtain a copy

DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
I am an 85-year-old fe-
male, and my doctor has
suggested a colonoscopy.
I find it a degrading test.
The doctor didnt say why
I needed it. Should a wom-
an my age have it? -- K.C.
ANSWER: The American
College of Physicians rec-
ommends against screen-
ing colonoscopies for
people 75 and older or for
those people with a life
expectancy of less than
10 years. Some add that
screening can be stopped
only if prior colonosco-
pies have been normal. No
one I know recommends
screening at 85.
***
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
I am a World War II vet.
I told the Department of
Veterans Affairs doctor
that I have nervous feet. If
I sit in a chair with my feet
on a footstool, they always
start moving. The same
thing happens at night in
bed. I cant get to sleep.
Can you tell me what this
is? -- F.B.
ANSWER: It sounds
like a form of myoclonus
-- brief, involuntary move-
ments of the feet and legs.
Most often it happens
when in bed, but it also
can happen when sitting
in a chair. Something in
the nervous system has
gone wrong. Mirapex and
Requip are two medicines
used to quiet these move-
ments.
See if the VA doctor
agrees.
Its not such an uncom-
mon disorder as you might
think. Its often seen with
another condition called
restless leg syndrome, a
funny feeling in the legs
that makes a person get
up and move around to
get rid of the sensation.
***
Dr. Donohue regrets that
he is unable to answer in-
dividual letters, but he will
incorporate them in his
column whenever possible.
Readers may write him or
request an order form of
available health newslet-
ters at P.O. Box 536475,
