Pedestrian killed by train in downtown Greer

BY BILLY CANNADA
EDITOR
A woman was hit and
killed by a train in Greer
last Saturday morning, ac-
cording to police.
The incident took place
on the Norfolk-South-
ern tracks in the area of
S. Line Street and Moore
Street at around 6:08 a.m.
Tina Yvonne Robinson, 60,
was pronounced dead on
scene.
The Spartanburg County
Coroners Office and the
Greer Police Department
are handling the investi-
gation.
This is the first fatali-
ty of its kind since David
Deane was hit and killed
last July, although a vehi-
cle was hit by an oncom-
ing train in the area of S.
Line Street just last week.
Despite the recent oc-
currences, Lt. Jim Hol-
combe does not believe
these instances are on the
rise.
I dont think were see-
ing an increase in these
situations, but its the na-
ture of the tracks being
in the middle of the city,
Holcombe said. Whatev-
er town youre in, there
are going to be incidents
around the tracks.
Holcombe said the S.
Line Street area can be es-
pecially busy.
These are some of our
busier roads, he said.
People need to be aware
of the crossing and their
surroundings.
The railway puts out a
lot of information as far as
railroad safety and cross-
ing, he said. Theres a
lot of time spent trying to
teach people that its dan-
gerous in those areas. You
have to adhere to the rules
around the track.

TRAIN SAFETY TIPS
Trains overhang the tracks by at least three
feet in both directions; loose straps hanging
from rail cars may extend even further. If you
are in the right-of-way next to the tracks, you
can be hit by the train.
It is dangerous to cross the tracks immediately
after a train passes. A second train might be
blocked by the first. Trains can come from ei-
ther direction. Wait until you can see clearly
around the first train in both directions.
Trains do not follow set schedules and can
come at any time.
|
Flashing red lights indicate a train is approach-
ing from either direction. You can be fined for
failure to obey these signals. Never walk
around or behind lowered gates at a crossing,
and DO NOT cross the tracks until the lights
have stopped flashing and its safe to do so.
Hunting, fishing or bungee jumping from rail-
road trestles is prohibited. There is only
enough clearance on the tracks for a train to
pass.

Harvey
victims
BY BILLY CANNADA
EDITOR
After a Category 3 hur-
ricane devastated parts
of Texas at the end of Au-
gust, killing more than 50
people, local entities have
stepped up to provide re-
lief.
Officials with the Spar-
tanburg County Sheriffs
Office left on Monday to
assist with the Hurricane
Harvey relief efforts near
Houston. They took donat-
ed items and personnel to
boost the ongoing emer-
gency response.
We waited a little while
because the people in Tex-
as have everybody rushing
down to help right now,
Sheriff Chuck Wright said.
After a few days and
weeks, everybody leaves
and theres still a lot of
work to do. Thats why
were trying to space this
out.
Donated items included:
baby food, formula, dia-
pers, clothing, toiletries,
sanitizer, bottled water,
paper towels, gloves and
more.
Last time we asked
for this kind of stuff, ev-
eryone did an awesome
job getting it together,
Wright said.

Harvey eclipsed by love and kindness
I
t has been a long-held common su-
perstition believed by the ancients, as
well as a few middle-agers, that solar
eclipses such as the one we experienced
last week, are also harbingers of doom.
Oh, pffft, I thought.
And then Harvey happened.
My fingers furiously googling, I found
eclipses blamed as omens right before
the outbreak of World War I as well as
Alexander the Great being demoted
to Alexander the Average when a sea
bridge constructed by his men led to the
city of Tyre falling to the Greeks. There
were even a scattering of religious based
websites that claimed as the next eclipse
will be coming in seven years over Amer-

How long
is hurricane
season?
Q: How long is hurricane
season?
A: As the United States
continues to deal with the
aftermath of Hurricane Harvey
and the East coast prepares for
Hurricane Irma, its a good time
to answer this question.
The Atlantic hurricane season
runs from June 1 to November
30 and tracks weather systems
with well defined circulation
and sustained winds of 74 mph
or higher.
Youll often hear the sever-
ity of hurricanes described in
categories, which are on a scale
from 1-5. The category of a
hurricane depends on its wind-
speed, which range from 74
mph to greater than 157 mph.
The Atlantic hurricane
season runs from June 1
to November 30.
As of Tuesday afternoon,
Hurricane Irma, which has the
potential to make landfall in
South Carolina, was a category
five, although it will likely not
reach the United States as such.
Hurricane categories describe
how much damage those in
the path of the storm should
expect.
During a category one hurri-
cane, damages include flood-
ing and destruction of poorly
constructed materials.
A category five hurricane, on
the other hand, can result in
massive evacuations followed
by complete roof failure on res-
idences and utility buildings.
Back in August, forecasters
predicted that this hurricane
season had the potential to be
extremely active, and could be
the most active since 2010.

country has nothing to do with the end
of America at all. Perhaps instead it is
the crossing out of a state of mind.
And wouldnt that be nice?
Because an awful lot of folks feel this
country has never been so divided, so
violent or so angry towards one another.
With deadly protests and, statistically, a
mass shooting occurring somewhere in
our country every eight weeks, it was be-
ginning to feel like a bubbling cauldron
into which we had all been thrown.
Then Harvey happened. And every-
thing stopped.
Those of us watching the images could
only wipe our eyes and pray for families
swept away including a 60-year-old po-
liceman, insisting on returning to work
at 4 a.m., who was lost when his patrol
car was submerged in rising waters.
GUEST EDITORIAL
Houston now the city that
needs saving after Harvey
Twelve years ago last week, the city of Hous-
ton responded with heroic life-saving actions
to the near drowning of New Orleans. This as-
big-as-Texas effort earned Houston this news-
papers Texan of the Year designation for 2005.
In the days after Hurricane Katrina struck
the Gulf Coast on Aug. 29 of that year, more
than 1,800 residents died and millions were left
homeless.
For the sake of those traumatized survivors,
Houston met the challenge with the largest
shelter operation in the nations history. More
than 150,000 of the approximately 250,000
evacuees would eventually make Harris County
their permanent home.
Perhaps Houstons director of building ser-
vices in 2005, Issa Dadoush, said it best as
evacuees stumbled off buses and into the
mega-shelter created within the Astrodome:
These are Americans. Theyre our neighbors. If
not Houston, who else?
Not only did Houston provide emergency aid
to the survivors, the city got them into perma-
nent quarters as quickly as possible so they
could resume some semblance of a normal life.
School assignments for the children and job
placements for the adults.
To get the work done right, we became
far more than government. The extraordinary
effort depended on churches, companies,
nonprofits and tens of thousands of ordinary
people waiting for that first convoy of fearful
survivors who had huddled for days in the New
Orleans Superdome.
In response, Houston became the heart of Tex-
as. From those who served the first hot meals to
those who made return trips to New Orleans to
pluck even more survivors from nursing homes
and deserted streets.
Now its the rescuer in need of rescue: Hous-
ton, its suburbs and the many smaller south-
east Texas towns and surrounding counties lay
devastated by Hurricane Harvey.
While the catastrophic causes are different,
the similarity between images out of hurricanes
Harvey and Katrina are chilling. With southeast

North Greenvilles Matt

field goal in the final sec-
onds of last weeks game
against Tusculum College
to give the Crusaders a 34-
33 win.
North Greenville is now
3-0 in Thursday night
home openers, dating
back to 2013.
The Crusaders got off to
a quick start, scoring 14
points in the first quarter.
Deonte Bryant provided
the first score with a one
handed grab in the end
zone when Robbie Brown
broke away for a 77-yard
touchdown run with 2:41
left in the quarter.
Tusculum punched in a
pair of touchdowns in the
second quarter with a run
from Maxwell Joseph and
a 35-yard fumble return
from Dee Alford.
North Greenville then
tacked on a field goal
while the Pioneers found

The defenses took over
the opening minutes of
the third period, but North

provided some fireworks,
scoring from 72-yards
out to give NGU a 24-20.
A pair of scores in the
fourth quarter for the Pio-
neers and a field goal and
a touchdown for North
Greenville moved the tally
to 33-31 with 4:13 left in
the game.
The Crusader offense
faced a fourth down and

A pair of rushes from

goal line. Hunter would
take one look toward the
end zone, eyeing 6 foot 6
target Mason Sanders but
the pass would fall incom-
plete, leaving Matt Gravely
with a 29-yard field goal
attempt.
Gravely missed a pair of
field goal attempts early
in the game, but the true
sophomore connected
when it really counted,
putting it through the
uprights, giving his team
a 34-33 lead with 28-sec-

Yellow Jackets setting sights on Daniel
BY LELAND BURCH
FOR THE GREER CITIZEN
When Greer travels to
Central to face Daniel High
this Friday night at 7:30, it
may be the last time the
two teams will see each
other for years to come.
The rivalry resumed
last year, after a nine-year
break, and apparently will
be off again in 2018. Yel-
Young is already working
on next years schedule
following S.C. High School
Leagues recent realign-
ment, and said this game
is not an easy travel sit-
uation, and I dont think
Daniel is really interested
in continuing to play us.
The Yellow Jackets will
compete in an all-Green-
ville County region against
Blue Ridge, Eastside,
Greenville, Travelers Rest
and Berea next year. We
want to continue playing
very good teams in our
non-region schedule to
try to get us ready for the
playoffs, Young said. He
is putting together a pre-
liminary schedule that will
open with with Byrnes fol-
lowed by Westside, Clin-
ton, Mauldin, and Union.
Daniel is one of the few
teams that enjoys and ad-
vantage in football over
the Yellow Jackets, hold-
ing a 14-8-0 edge in the
series. Fortunately Greer
Highs football players
were in the second or
third grade and have no
memory of the last Yellow
Jackets trip to Daniel. That

BY BILLY CANNADA
SPORTS EDITOR
The Rebels arent satis-
fied with a 3-0 start and
a dramatic win over New
Jerseys Don Bosco.
Head coach Reggie Shaw
said the Rebels will have
their hands full once again
this week, as they get set
to take on Northwestern
on the road.
The Trojans have won
back-to-back games after
opening the season with a
39-7 loss to South Pointe.
Theyre a dangerous
team, Shaw said. I think
a lot of people wrote them
off after the South Pointe
game, but that game was
closer than the score indi-
cated.
We think were going
to have our hands full,
he said. Last week they
really put it together and
dominated a South Meck-
lenburg team that is pretty
athletic.
Northwestern will pres-
ent matchup problems
for Byrnes, which hopes
to keep its strong running
game going strong this
week.
Trey Houstons four touchdowns led Greer to a blowout win over Clinton on Friday.
five passes intercepted, in-
cluding a couple that were
returned for touchdowns,
and fumbled an on-side
kickoff.
We have to play physi-
cal defense this week. Our
defensive line has got to
establish the line of scrim-
mage, and if they do, it
will go a long way toward
helping us win the game,
Young said.
Daniel opened the sea-
son with a 17-10 victory
over Berkley, but then
Theyve got some very
good skill players and a
big defense that is fast
and physical, Shaw said.
Theyve also got a great
running back and their
quarterback is an accurate
passer.
On defense, Shaw antici-
pates the Trojans will line
up in a four-man front.
Theyve shown a three
and four man front, but
with our run game, I would
expect theyd start out in
a four-man front, Shaw
said. You never know
what youre going to see,
so you have to be ready
for everything.
The hour-and-a-half trip
wont be a normal one for
Byrnes, but Shaw said its
also not an excuse.
It helps that we played
over there in the presea-
son, so hopefully that
gives us an advantage,
Shaw said. It just requires
changing up the routine a
little bit. Youve got to win
on the road if you want to
win big.
Kickoff is set for 7:30

BY BILLY CANNADA
SPORTS EDITOR
After a dramatic win
over Riverside, Blue Ridge
will be back in action this
Friday, hosting the Liberty
Red Devils.
The Tigers have already
matched their win total
from 2016, but after a
heartbreaking 28-27 loss
to Liberty last season, Blue
Ridge will have revenge on
its mind.
Liberty is a very good
football team, Blue Ridge
coach Shane Clark said.
Theyre solid on both
sides of the ball and they
get to the ball quick.
Theyre very savvy on of-
fense, which means it will
be a tough challenge for
us.
Liberty is also 2-1 on the
year with wins over Wal-
halla and Pickens. The Red
Devils only loss came in

He said the Lions also
will throw some spread
stuff at us, as well as two
tight ends. Among the
Lions offensive weapons
is senior wide receiver
Drew Swinney, the son of
Clemson head coach Dabo
Swinney. Obviously, we
will have to be ready to
cover him, Young said.
He said the Daniel runs
a 4-3 defense this year, as
opposed to the 3-3 stack
last season. They have
four down linemen with
two linebackers in the box
and a third in coverage.
Jaylen Reese is a very
good linebacker, Young
notes. But the Lions also
feature Jake Venables, a
senior bound for Clemson
to play for his dad, Brent
Venables, the Tigers De-
fensive Coordinator. An-
other of Venables sons,
sophomore Tyler, starts at
strong safety.
Daniel is not real big at
cornerback, but they play
hard and get in coverage
quicker than Clinton,
Young said.
Greer will be without
starting center Matthew
Pearson who suffered an
ankle injury in practice
last week. Young said
Zach Drake, a junior, filled
in for Pearson at Clinton,
and did a really good job,
especially for it to be his
first start.
We will have to play
well, offensively and de-
fensively, to have an op-
portunity to win the game
against Daniel, Coach
Young concluded.

fourth-quarter turnovers,
made the difference for
the Rebels.
One of the things we
harp on all the time is
somebody stepping up
and making a play, Shaw
said. Momentum is such
a huge part of high school
football and it only takes
a spark to start a fire. One
play can change a game,
and when AJ Rogers in-
tercepted that ball on the
goal line, it gave us hope
and a chance to keep be-
lieving. From then on, it
was on.
After falling behind ear-
ly, Byrnes tied the game at
7-7 as Brock Carroll found
Ben Henson for a 35-yard
touchdown.
The New Jersey prep
school then flexed its
muscles, holding the Reb-
els scoreless for the next
two quarters.
Rogers first fourth
quarter interception led
to a touchdown pass from
Carroll to Rahjai Harris,
cutting the lead to 21-14.
The Rebels blocked a punt
on the following posses-
sion, setting up another
Harris score that tied the
game.
With just over two
minutes remaining, By-
rnes kicker Luis Hernan-
dez scored the go-ahead
points to give his team the
win.
Conditioning played a
big part in it, Shaw said.
In the fourth quarter,
most of our guys were
going strong and Don Bo-
sco seemed to have some
of the air let out, so to
speak.
Shaw said the comeback
was made possible by
plenty of offseason work.
Over the summer, we
tried to put our guys in
competitive situations
where they have to finish,
Shaw said. It started there
and that carried over into
the season. When were
tired, we try to finish as
fast as possible and play
mentally perfect football.
Our goal is to start strong
and finish even stronger.
Byrnes will travel to
Northwestern this Friday.
GREER: Defense posts shutout in bounceback victory
FROM B1
good one, and Edwin Sales
did a good job on kickoffs,
as did our coverage guys.
Its a good situation when
we force the other team to
go 70-75 yards to score.
The only hitch in the
kicking game occurred
after Greers fourth touch-
down when a Yellow Jack-
et player was sent to the
sidelines with an exposed
shoulder pad. That drew a
protest from Young who
complained, we were ex-
pected to go for the extra
point with 10 players. I
understand the rule, but
I dont know why the of-
ficials didnt give the kid
a chance to pull his jer-
sey over the pad, and go
on with the game. Those
things happen all the
time.
He said Greer was al-
ready playing a little short
handed because we only
carried 39 players to Clin-
ton due to the rule that a
kid cannot play in a jayvee
game on Thursday night
and again on Friday. T.L.
Hanna dropped their jay-
vee program because of
that rule, and we were in a
similar situation last year
because we had to convert
a wide receiver to the jay-
vee quarterback in order
to move Matthew Huff
to the varsity on Friday
nights. That was the only
way we could have played
a jayvee game last year.
When Young pointed
out to the referees that
two Red Devils had ex-
posed shoulder pads, he
was tagged with a 15-yard
penalty, which caused
Sales kick to come up
short. That would have
been a very critical thing
in a tight game. It was the
first penalty I have had in
a long, long time because
I learned that you cant
win these arguments, and
it can make things worse,
he said.

cost Greer 10 yards, Hous-
ton delivered a fourth
down strike to Quay White
in the end zone from 19
yards out.
The Red Devils came
back with a 15 play drive
that consumed much of
the second period. Facing
fourth-and-eight at the
Greer 21 yard line, Clin-
ton quarterback Konnor
Richardson launched a
rare pass. Greer defender
Jacob Harris picked off the
aerial at the goal line and
returned the interception
out to the 30, only to have
a penalty move the ball
back to the 12.
With 2:58 remaining in
the half, the Yellow Jack-
ets then went the length
of the field before inter-
mission. Houston again
launched the scoring ex-
press, this time with a
23 yard run. He then un-
onds behind the first place
team Lincoln Memorial.
Carson Newman earned
a third place finish while
race host Tusculum fin-
ished fourth.
Johnson University fin-
ished fifth while Maryville
rounded out the finishers
in sixth.
The Crusaders were
paced by Hailey Willing-
ham who clocked in at
21:02, good enough for
fifth, NGUs only top five
finish.
Hope Whisman was the
next best qualifier for
North Greenville in sev-
enth place, Victoria Davies
and Cori Small finished in
11th and 15th while Jadyn
Slaughter clocked in, in
the 18th position.
The Crusaders will take
the short trip down High-
way 25 to run in the Fur-
man Invitational on Sep-
tember 9.
NORTH GREENVILLE
DOWNS UNC PEMBROKE
The Womens volleyball
team picked up its first
win of the season on Sat-
urday with a 3-0 win over
UNC Pembroke.
The Crusaders made
their first win of the sea-
son look convincing, with
wins of 25-16, 25-13, and
corked passes of 14 and
16 yards to White and
Williams, respectively, as
Greer arrived at the Clin-
ton 12. Two plays later,
Houston scored on a six-
yard quarterback draw.
Sales extra point kick
made it 21-0 at halftime.
After a cloudburst
chased fans from the
stands during intermis-
sion, the rain stopped, and
Clinton marched to the
Yellow Jackets 22 yard
line. Greer held there when
Ethan Alexander batted
down a fourth down pass
in the end zone.
When Clinton failed to
convert a fake fourth-
down punt attempt at mid-
field, that was all Greer
needed to stick a fork in
the Red Devils. Houston
reeled off a 19-yard gain
on first down, completed
a 19-yard pass to Mathew
Huff and then scored on a
four-yard sweep. The extra
point kick failed after the
penalty pushed the con-
version attempt back to
the 18 yard line, but Greer
led 27-0.
As the game entered
the fourth quarter, White
returned the next Clin-
ton punt 50 yards to the
15-yard line. On the next
play, Houston delivered a
short pass to Chris Quinn
who rambled into the end
zone.
Three plays later, Greer
lineman McZavion Hol-
ley recovered a Clinton
fumble at the hosts 38-
yard line to set up anoth-
er scoring opportunity.
White sprinted to the end
zone on the next play only
to have the touchdown
nullified by a penalty. No
matter, Houston soon fol-
lowed with a 21-yard pass
to Huff, and White later
scored on a two-yard dive.
Sales conversion built the
lead to 41-0 with 6:18 re-
maining on the clock.
Greer, improving to
2-1 overall with the ninth

25-21.
A 15-13 lead in the
opening frame quickly bal-
looned as the Crusaders
scored seven of the next
nine points to take a 22-15
advantage.
Annie Beisecker and
Katie McManaway would
pound out a pair of kills
to go along with an attack
error from the Braves to
take the first set win.
NGU took a 21-12 lead in
the second frame on a kill
from Samantha Hebb.
The Crusaders would get
some help from the Braves
to help wrap up the 2-0 set
lead with a service and at-
tack error, which served as
the set point.
NGU held a sizeable lead
in the third frame when a
Kenzie Pierce service ace
made it 22-12.
The Braves had no in-
tention of going quietly
though, rattling off the
next five points to cut the
lead to just five.
The Braves would tack
on four more points but
NGU got back on track
when a pair of kills from
McManaway put the game
away.
Samantha Hebb lead the
Crusaders with 11-kills on
the night.
Katie McManaway and
Courtney Williamson fin-
ished with nine kills each.
Johna Robbins led the
team with 18-digs while
Sara Miller led with 35-as-
sists.
straight win over Clin-
ton, also dominated the
stats. The Yellow Jackets
chalked up 349 total yards
for 23 first downs. Greer
rushed for 190 yards and
Houston threw for anoth-
er 159 yards.
Clinton wound up with
11 first downs, all on 188
yards rushing. The Red
Devils failed to compete a
pass.
Greer also led in penal-
ties, collecting eight flags
for 70 yards. The Red Dev-
ils were penalized only
twice, for 25 yards. But
Clinton suffered two turn-
overs, a fumble and a pass
interception.

TIGERS: Stun Riverside
FROM B1
We had some big plays,
head coach Shane Clark
said. They never gave up
and thats why they came
out on top.
It was all Riverside early,
however.
The Warriors scored 21
points in the first half,
taking a two-score lead
into the break after touch-
downs from Max Louris,
Andrew Brown and Scott
Higginbotham.
The Tigers only score
in the first half came on a
15-yard pass from Smith
to Colby Johnson.
We got down, but our
kids made a decision to
fight, which is good to
see, Clark said. We had
a feeling toward the end
that we were going to
come together and get it
done, and thats what they
were able to do.
In the third quarter,
Riverside scored its fi-
nal touchdown as Kodi
Jones caught a 10-yard

We challenged our of-

difference for us in the
game.
As his team finished off

When you overcome

Railfest returning for second year
To Greer
City Park
Sept. 30
BY KAELYN CASHMAN
STAFF WRITER
Railfest will return to
Greer City Park at the end
of the month, this time
with live entertainment
from The Norfolk South-
ern Lawmen Band.
The second annual event
will take place on Satur-
day, Sept. 30, from 10 a.m.
to 2 p.m. and is free to the
public.
As always, we try to
add exciting new features
to our events each year,
said Ashlyn Stone, Events
Supervisor for the City of
Greer. What were most
excited about for the 2017
Railfest is the addition of
live entertainment from
The Norfolk Southern
Lawmen Band.
The group will be joined
by several other live per-
formers.
We will also have enter-
tainment from a traveling

Visitors can experience hands-on activites and educational

Eclipse glasses to be redistributed overseas
BY KAELYN CASHMAN
STAFF WRITER
Local residents are work-
ing to redistribute eclipse
glasses to those who need
them around the world.
Moore & Balliew Oil
Company and the Tay-
lors Burdette Library have
partnered with Astrono-
mers Without Borders as
collection sites for used
eclipse glasses left over
from the Aug. 21 event.
Like most residents and
tourist, Moore & Balliew
Oil Company was very ex-
cited about the Eclipse,
said Garth H. McDonald,
Marketing and Technolog-
ical Advisor at Moore &
Balliew Oil Company. Af-
terward, I discovered that
rather than throwing away
the coveted Eclipse Glass-
es, they could be donated
to Astronomers Without
Borders (AWB).
After enjoying the so-
lar eclipse, I was wonder-
ing what I should do with
the solar glasses I had
purchased, said Elaine
Connington at the Taylors
Library. I decided that I
would keep one pair as a
keepsake. But what to do
with the rest? I knew they
could not be recycled - un-
less the lenses (film) were
removed. I also felt that
it was not worth keeping
them to use for the next to-
tal solar eclipse to be seen
in America in 2024 as they
may have deteriorated or
become scratched. So I did
some on-line research and
found out about this great
program.

tific are collecting glasses

After almost a week
without anyone in the lo-

becoming a donation cen-

to the plate and become

said. I do know a few oth-

us to interact with, so in
promoting that, we pro-
mote ourselves, McDon-
ald said. Greenvilles a
very strong manufactur-
ing area.
We have a whole gener-
ation that is leaving the in-
dustry, and theres a great
concern that theres not
going to be trained, skilled
employees for those jobs
that are going to become
open, he continued.
Moore & Balliew Oil
Company has worked with
the Greater Greer Cham-
ber of Commerce as well
as gotten involved with
local schools, colleges and
mentorship programs.
The Greer Citizen
should be a great addition
to our already fun-filled
day.
Rail safety presentations
from Operation Livesav-
er, trackless train, model
trains, and more will be
taking place, and local rail
police and museums will
be available with interac-
tive displays.
The soul of this free
family event is to promote
rail safety while teaching
about the important histo-
ry of the railways in Greer
and its surrounding ar-
eas, Stone continued.
Videos about locomo-
tive history and rail safety
will be presented inside of
Greer City Hall.
The concept of Railfest
at Greer City Park all start-
ed because of the need for
a Greer-specific event,
Stone said. The City of
Greer is unique in that it
was founded because of
its proximity to the South-
ern Railroad (1876).
In 1914, a second rail
line was added (P&N), and
today, those two rails are
still active (CSX and Nor-
folk Southern) and run
through the heart of Greer.
Glasses from the Aug. 21 total solar eclipse are being
collected by area businesses for redistribution by
Astronomers Without Borders to other countries.
We want to empower frame specified by each
each and every student
to help them to succeed
at their goals, McDonald
said.
The goal of the oil com-
pany in collecting glasses
is to help promote Science,
Technology, Engineering
and Mathematic (STEM) re-
sources around the world.
As a former high school
teacher in England, I am
especially excited that we
are able help spread STEM
resources to schools in
developing countries and
that the children might
experience the wonder
of an eclipse safely as
we have been fortunate to
do, Connington said.
McDonald looks forward
to reaching outside our
community and helping
people enjoy the same ex-
perience we had here in
Greenville, he said. As-
tronomers Without Bor-
ders makes it really easy
to become involved.
There is an online form,
and the company that
signs up agrees to col-
lect the glasses and ship
them to AWB within a time
We hope Railfest can be used to educate
the community of Greers heritage and the
importance of rail safety.

a few of our events, we
heavily depend on the

I would highly encour-
age other businesses and
organizations to become
involved in order to col-
lect the most glasses pos-
sible, McDonald said.
I hope that we may col-
lect a substantial number
of pairs of solar glasses,
Connington said. There
were millions of pairs of
glasses sold or provid-
ed free such as by the
Greenville County Library
System surely it would
be a great pity if they were
all thrown away when they
had the potential to do
such good.
I just want to get the
word out and to provide
as easy a way as possible
for people to recycle the
glasses in their commu-
nity, Connington contin-
ued.
A recycle box at the Tay-
lors library will be avail-
able for donations until
Sept. 30. Then, the Green-
ville County Library Sys-
tem will mail the collec-
tion to AWB in Springdale,
Arizona.

There was definitely
a learning curve for our
first year hosting Railfest
in 2016, Stone said. I
dont think I realized how
much information was out
there about trains. Its all
very detailed and interest-
ing, and the best part is all
of this knowledge comes
with personal memories
of local depots, train trips,
and capturing photos of
trains over the years.We
enjoyed the challenge.

Collections will be held at area locations such as Moore
& Balliew Oil Company and the Taylors Burdette Library,
until around the end of September.
The glasses must be ISO
certified and undamaged,
Connington said. We will
need to check that they
fit the requirements of
Astronomers Without Bor-
ders. NASA has a list of all
the approved glasses.

Chamber

BY KAELYN CASHMAN
STAFF WRITER
The Greater Greer
Chamber of Commerce is
working with other Up-
state agencies to bring in
one million diapers as part
of Operation Dry Baby Bot-
toms.
The project, organized
by Diaper Bank of the Car-
olinas, will assist needy
families in the area by dis-
tributing diapers to low
income households.
Greer Chamber Board
Chairman Rosylin Weston
brought the need up at a
recent meeting, and the
chamber kicked off dona-
tions last Friday.
With a two-week old
baby boy named Luke at
home, Mark Owens, Presi-
dent and CEO of the Great-
er Greer Chamber of Com-
merce, said, It hits home
for me right now, and I
really hope that (people
will think it) through and
contribute.
When Im changing
(Luke), I dont have to
think about how many
diapers we have, Owens
said. Im privileged not
having to worry about
scheduling out only four
diapers a day or making
that decision, do I change
based off of money or do I
change off of need.
For the month of Sep-
tember, the Greer cham-
ber is one of multiple drop
off locations.
Its a great cause that
we want to do for our up-
state, Owens said.

a great story to tell, and it
is: the powerful and true
story of Henrietta Lacks. A
poor black woman, Lacks
died in 1951 of cervical

Over 60 years ago, DC-
3s landed regularly at
the Greenville Downtown
Airport in South Caroli-
na. Their mission was to
safely transport commer-
cial airline passengers
to their destination of
choice. DC-3s have been
doing just that since 1936
when American Airlines
convinced Douglas Air-
craft to increase the size
of their DC-2, which held
14 passengers, to accom-
modate 21 in a newly de-
signed DC-3. This allowed

During WWII, the DC-3
was equipped with a larg-
er cargo door and stronger
landing gear so they could
be used in military mis-
sions. The Army called
their altered version a
C-47, and the Navy a R4D.
After WWII many C-47s
were seen coming in and
out of Greenville Army Air
Base.

Does flushing toilet
really spred germs?
DEAR DR. ROACH:
I have seen articles in
several publications over
the years that talk about
the dangers of flushing
a toilet with the seat up,
and all the nasty, germy
things that come float-
ing up on droplets of
water. While its enough
to scare one, when you
think about it and all the
public restrooms with
toilets that have no seats
(let alone not knowing
the last person who used
it), its a wonder were
not all sick! I hope this is
just misinformation or
overblown facts. Can you
address this issue? -- J.N.
ANSWER: Mostly over-
blown facts, I think. A
study did show that bac-
teria and viruses can be
spread by water droplets
around the area of a toilet
with no lid (and presum-
ably with the lid up). How-
ever, these germs dont go
through intact skin, which
is why we arent all sick.
The key to not getting
infected is handwashing
after using the restroom.
However, I think keeping
your toothbrush a ways
away from the toilet also
might be a good idea,
having read through the
research.

diet; its a collection of
several cuisines that share
some important elements
and which have been
shown to reduce rates of
heart disease and obesity.
Some common features
are: mostly plant-based,
with small amounts of
meat; high consumption
of fruits, vegetables and
whole grains; low to mod-

products; relatively high
amounts of olive oil, nuts
and fish. Wine is an op-
tional part of the diet in
low to moderate amounts
and with food. The Ameri-

about this diet, and your

doubtless have some reci-

If you dont have a local
bookstore, one large on-

answer this. What are the
pros and cons of having
shingles vaccine if one
has genital herpes and is
being treated with acyclo-
vir? Im in my 60s. -- A.A.
ANSWER: The poten-
tially confusing issue
is that genital herpes is
caused by herpes simplex
virus II, which is in the
same family of viruses as
varicella-zoster virus, the
cause of shingles. Howev-
er, the vaccine will have
no effect on the herpes
or its treatment, so you
have the same recom-
mendation as the average
person, which is to get the
vaccine. Anyone over 60
should have the vaccine
unless there is a reason
he or she cant get it,
such as having a serious
immune system disease
(like advanced HIV), being
on medications that sup-
press the immune system
or having recently had
cancer chemotherapy.
