Members of the community celebrated the opening of Upstate Dermatology on Nov. 16.
Thats really what this
practice is, kind of a dream
or a fantasy that becomes
something real, Dr. Korman said. Theres a lot
of sacrifice that goes into
starting a business.
Mark Owens, President
and CEO of the Greater

for us to be here, to help
celebrate with you and
play a small part. One of
our favorite things to do
is help people open a business.
Its a privilege to be
here, Dr. Korman said.
Upstate dermatology is a
full spectrum, general dermatology practice. We see
patients of all ages, and we
offer a variety of services.
We are really excited to
be here, really excited to
serve the patients in this
area for years to come.
Dr. Kormans practice
has medical, surgical and
cosmetic dermatology.

Deadly crash
Three people were injured and one person was killed during this crash on Taylor Road
in Greer over the weekend. Neither the driver or the passengers were wearing seatbelts.
According to the South Carolina Highway Patrol, Haylee Cantrell, 16, was killed in the
wreck. No further updates were available on the other passengers as of Tuesday night.

made statements that the
vehicle was not his, but
he was watching it for the
driver who was going to
get a tire. After the officer asked him to keep his
hands out of his pockets,
he kept putting them back
in his pockets so the officer performed a Terry Pat
for weapons. The white
male identified himself as
Allen Williams.
Williams continued to
state that he was just
watching the car for a female who had gone to get
a tire. Williams had several bags at the back of the
Lexus and two additional
bags were found across
the Interstate and on the
other side of the railing.
Another officer confirmed the stolen status of
the Lexus. The Lexus appeared to have been disabled by hitting the cable
median divider. The front
left tire/axle appeared
broken and the left side
paneling was extensively
scraped.
While scanning for other
evidence or suspects, a civilian driving East on I-26
ran into the rear of a State
Troopers Crown Victoria
knocking it into the rear of
another officers vehicle.
The civilian was transported to Spartanburg Regional
Medical Center by EMS. He
was complaining of neck
pain. While checking for
a VIN, the officer found a
rolled blunt on the dash
under the windshield.
Williams was transported to the county jail and
was charged with possession/receiving of a stolen
vehicle.

Roeker stated he was
walking from his girlfriends house and found
the truck unlocked with
the window down. He stated he entered the vehicle
because he was tired and
thirsty.
Roeker claimed the only
items he owned in the vehicle was a black bag and
a camouflage charger for
his phone.
A search of the vehicle
revealed the plastic around
the steering column had
been removed, several
wires tampered with and
drill markings on the ignition. Roeker was also
wearing a shirt he stated
was not his.
The owner of the vehicle
was notified about the
situation and stated one
of his family members left
the truck at the business.
Fowler also stated the last
time he saw his vehicle
there was no damage to
the ignition or steering
column.
The damage to the ignition and steering column
was consistent with the
drill Roeker was carrying when he attempted to
flee.
After speaking with Mr.
Fowler and investigating
the vehicle, Roeker was
placed under arrest for
breaking into a motor vehicle and was transported
to the Spartanburg County
Detention Center.

Round three of the
NCAA Division II football
playoffs will offer redemption for North Greenville,
as the Crusaders get set
to square off with North
Alabama for a second time
this season.
The first matchup on
Oct. 22 did not end well
for NGU, resulting in 5221 loss that was never really that close.
We wouldnt know if
they have a punter or
not, North Greenville
head coach Jeff Farrington
joked. We never saw him
get on the field. It was a
tough game for us.
That game, however, did
mark a turning point for
Farringtons team.
two rounds.
Weve been
trying to play
sound,
not
give up big plays, and create some takeaways, Farrington said. Weve been
able to do that and we
hope to keep it going.
Farrington said his team
will have to pull out all the
stops to manage an upset
on Saturday.
Theyre very good, he
said. We didnt respond
very well in the second
half and we couldnt get
our defense off the field.
Their quarterback is an
outstanding player, and
theyve also got several
other guys that can hurt
you.
While film will help his
team prepare, Farrington

FOR THE GREER CITIZEN
In the halcyon days of
the 1970s and 80s, a car
company then-called Datsun used to saturate the
airwaves during televised
sporting events. Famous
for its sporty Z cars (the
240Z, 260Z and 280ZX),
Datsun extolled the gassaving virtues of its brand,
cheerfully urging wouldbe drivers to put your
money in the bank, not in
the tank.
Mayweather is the
greatest defensive
boxer who ever
lived.
That admonition would
work well in todays world
of boxing, too. Last year
saw the passing of the
Greatest of All Time
(GOAT) and the continued
win streak of The Best
Ever (TBE). While Muhammad Ali can no longer reap
the dividends from his
illustrious career, Floyd
Money Mayweather is
still in fighting shape at 39
years of age, and he is in
possession of what is really the sole marketing gimmick left in professional
boxing -- an unbeaten record of 49-0.
If you were a betting
man, you would think
that an ego-driven boxer
who has never really been
challenged or hit hard
more than once outside
of the Sugar Shane Mosley fight, would like the
all-time unbeaten boxing
record all to himself. Hes
tied with Rocky Marciano,
but your bettors hunch
just may prove to be correct: Mayweather himself
has trademarked the term
TBE 50-0. So conditions
appear to right.
Mayweather is the greatest defensive boxer who
ever lived. Ive watched
thousands of fights, and
I have never seen anyone
protect himself any better.
Ali was harder to hit, and
he moved around the ring
better, but Mayweathers
ability to fend off blows
like a horse flicking off
flies with his tail is unmatched across any era.
The problem is that his
style is epically boring,
and as boxing continues
to look for its next ratings
savior, hes not helping.
Enter Conor McGregor,
the baddest man on the
planet. He holds two UFC
belts in two different
weight classes and has
a record of 21-3, which
translated to a boxing record would be more like
100-3 (factor in that MMA
fighters use more of their
body to strike, and the
sheer overall violence).
With the loss of Rhonda
Rousey, he is the most visible and popular champion
in the fight game.
Also, he is game to fight
Mayweather. Lets face it,
Mayweather has nobody to
face who would command
the nine-figure payout he
is demanding. Nobody is
going to fall for another
pay-per-view disaster like
Mayweather-Pacquio
II.
A fight against McGregor
would more than live up
to the hype, if only to
showcase the merits of
boxing as a fighting style
as it continues to lose
mindshare to MMA.
Also, it would be an
easy fight for Mayweather. Vegas oddsmakers
already have the fight at 2250/+980 in favor of Mayweather (meaning youd
have to wager $2,250 on
Mayweather to win $100,
$100 on McGregor to win
$980), but you dont need
to be an expert to call this
one. Keep your money in
the bank -- McGregor wont
tank, but Mayweather has
plenty of gas left in his. It
would be the greatest upset in sports history and
certainly worth watching
... that much you can bet.
Lets get it on.

MUSIC LESSONS
some.
So, I started going to
his house and helping
him to play guitar, Stokes
said, and he learned very
quickly and told other
family members, and it
just grew from there.
I really feel like that
there are no accidents in
life, Stokes continued.
God has placed me in this
business and provided me
with customers for a reason.
Stokes also volunteers
at Greer Community Ministries and Grace Place.
Im just very thankful
to get to do what Im doing
because I have so many
other friends, musician
friends, that work other
jobs through the week
and play music on the
weekends, Stokes said.
We all desire to just play
music for a living, so Im
very fortunate and very
blessed, and I like to keep
that in focus.
After Stokes started
teaching, Lister asked
Stokes to come to their
store, teach and bring
his students, Stokes said.
They would provide me
with more students, and
I did that for quite some
time.
Unfortunately,
they
didnt make it in the retail business, not because
of anything other than Internet sales. A lot of small
music stores are struggling these days, Stokes
continued. The lesson
program was going great,
so when they closed that
retail store, I continued to
teach lessons in that location. I just leased part of
that location and stayed
there.
GREER STUDIO
TEACHING GUITAR
Matthew Stokes (right) teaches Randy Moon how to play the guitar at Stokes Music Shop
in Greer.
I found that encouraging
my students is the number
one thing that I do.
Stokes encourages them
to practice and gives them
motivation, he said.
We work on songs that
they want to learn, Stokes
said, but we also have
some structure, and we
work in books and follow
lesson plans, and we learn
to read music.
A lot of guitar teachers
dont teach music reading
these days, Stokes continued. Theyve kind of gotten away from that. They
draw little pictures of
where to put your fingers.
Its so important to learn
to read music, especially
if youre a youngster. Its
so easy at that age. I love
teaching youngsters to
read music.

The buildings creation

He loved his readers

alcohol does not render

ineffective.
Preventing STDs is much
better than treating them,
since not all can be cured.
Part of being sexually responsible is making good

that people are more likely to make unwise decisions with even moderate

true with or without antibiotics.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I suffered from a very painful
case of plantar fasciitis for
longer than a year when
my husband and I (both
in our 40s) discovered
that we were expecting a
baby. I was terrified over
the prospect for several
reasons, including the already painful state of my
feet. It turned out that my
plantar fasciitis was completely cured by the end of
my pregnancy.
Now, at 47, with a darling 3-year-old, Im wondering if there is any way
of preventing the condition from returning. My
