A bridge on Edwards
Road will be closed for
utility relocation next
week, and it will not re-
open until the early part
of next year.
SC Department of Trans-
portation (DOT) officials
said the work, which in-
cludes replacement of the
bridge itself, will begin
Monday, Oct. 16., conclud-
ing in January of 2018.
The bridge will likely re-
open in February.
Renewable Water Re-
sources (ReWa) and the
Taylors Fire and Sewer
District will also be work-
ing on the project. This
bridge is approximate-
ly .44 miles from Wade
Hampton Boulevard.
Detour routes are as
follows: Traffic traveling
north on S-335 (Edwards
Rd), will take a left on
S-166 (E. Lee Rd), right
on US-29 (Wade Hamp-
ton Blvd.), then a right on
S-335 (Edwards Rd). Traf-
fic traveling south S-335
(Edwards Mill Rd/Edwards
Rd) will take a right on US-
29 (Wade Hampton Blvd),
left on S-166 (E. Lee Rd),
then a left on S-335 (Ed-
wards Rd). A full circle
along this detour from
one end of the bridge to
the other is 3.5 miles.
With the election of Becky Martin, Lyman Town Council is
now complete with seven members.

GUEST EDITORIAL
Think pink during October,
but with savvy and smarts
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month,
a 31-day period that has become synonymous
with one color pink.
Fighting breast cancer is an important battle
1 in 8 women will get it, and it kills more than
40,000 each year. And the month of pink-coat-
ed awareness has led to a lot of positive edu-
cation efforts we know exercise, a good diet,
annual mammograms and self-examines can go
incredibly far in preventing cancer and making
sure it is caught early if it does develop.
But all that pink and awareness has given
birth to a new cottage industry the commer-
cialization of cancer. Everyone wants to give
back, and because breast cancer touches so
many lives and the pink ribbons and gear is
well-associated with it, many businesses and
nonprofits want to get in some might say ex-
ploit the phenomenon.
Famously, the NFL decks its players out in
pink every Sunday in October and then sells
the associated gear to support breast cancer
research. However, it has now been thorough-
ly reported by various media outlets that, after
everyone takes their cut and overhead, only 8
percent of the money spent on the NFLs pink
gear actually goes to breast cancer research.
The Susan G. Komen Foundation has taken a
public relations hit in recent years after fund-
ing breakdowns showed only 20 percent of
its money goes to research. (To be fair, chari-
tynavigator.org indicates 80 percent of its rev-
enue goes toward some kind of breast cancer
programming, but that also included education
and screenings/treatments.)
The situation only underscores that our as-
sumptions about where our money is going
when we give to charity can be quite inaccurate.
Whether its the pink ribbon bought in the gro-
cery store checkout line or the shirts being sold
at various locations, we give in hope of doing
good without putting any critical thought to it.
People spend hours researching the right phone
to buy but dont consider which charity will be
the best stewards of their money.
Experts do offer some tips to consider:

FOR THE GREER CITIZEN
For the first time in
twenty years, Trinity
Fellowship is getting a
facelift, updating every
inch of the 10,000-square-
foot building.
The sanctuary now
has darker ceilings and
more space, as the sound
booth was moved up-
stairs. The sound system
has also been updated,
as well as all the tech-
nology. New flooring has
been put down, and all
new appliances have been
brought in. Walls have
been knocked down and
rooms rearranged to make
room for the new chil-
drens ministry, which is
just one major change the
church will be experienc-
ing as the Greenville cam-
pus merges with the Greer
campus. Even the outside
is getting an upgrade, with
new bushes being planted,
trees removed, and a play-
ground installed.
Its been four years
since [Brushy Creek First
Assembly of God] and
Trinity Fellowship merged
in order to have a multi-
site approach, said Pas-
tor Chuck Hill. Now we
recognize the need to
consolidate two campus-
es into one. This is a great
opportunity because this
[Greer] location sits right
in the middle of the com-
munity, and there are 298
families coming in across
the street.
In fact, the two campus-
es have had very effective,
but very different, min-
istries. Many of the adult
ministries and mid-week
discipleship programs
have been offered at the
Greer location, while the
Pleasantburg location fo-
cused heavily on family
ministries. But with the
merging of the two cam-
puses, additional resourc-
es were needed to make it
a place that families would
enjoy.
We really want to estab-
lish a ministry here and
to be a blessing to Greer,
said Hill. We are very in-

try for food. We want to
support families by help-

Along with the reno-
vations come a lot of ex-

changes because the sale

the church to remain debt-
This gives us the free-
dom in ministry and the
ability to be debt-free for
future expansion, said
opening Sunday on Oct.
The new sanctuary will
seat up to 250 people,
which is plenty of room
for the nearly 200 regular
attenders, which include
around 30 kids ages 5 to
12 and about half a doz-
en nursery children. Be-
hind the church, the teens
will meet in a permanent
modular that is specif-
ically designed to meet
the needs of the 20 teens
in the church. Another
modular has been situated
behind the teen building
to become the new facili-
ty for the Helping Hands
ministry, which feeds the
community every Wednes-
day. The ministry plans to
re-open its doors in No-
vember, although no exact
date has currently been
set.
We had to close Help-
ing Hands because of the
renovations, said Pastor
Lee Athey, the executive
associate pastor at the
church. We are changing
the times to 4:15 p.m. to
6:15 p.m. in order to give
us more time to set up for
the Wednesday night ser-
vice.
The church plans to do
some more community
outreaches, such as a fam-
ily-friendly movie night
and reaching out to lend
a hand to the families who
move into the new apart-
ments being built across
the street.
There are still a few mi-
nor details to finish up at
the church, but the main
thing that they are wait-
ing on is the occupancy
permit. Renovations start-
ed in May, and they plan
to be finished in time for
15. There will be a dinner
on the grounds after the
10:30 morning service.
Wednesday night meet-
ing will be at 7 p.m. And
Sunday school will begin
meeting at 9:30 a.m. on
the first Sunday in Novem-
ber.
Trinity Fellowship is
located at 3610 Brushy

GCAC gave the arts center stage in Greer

During that time, the

felt a calling to help other
kids facing similar jour-

After a few months of
treatment, I realized I now
understood what is help-
ful to these families and
what they need, Munte-
an said. I told my mom
I want to do something. I
want to help, and I want to
make some kind of small
impact.
Time constraints and
legalities dissuaded the
family from creating a
nonprofit.
(Bella said) lets just
start it without making it
a nonprofit, and God will
show us the way if thats
what is meant to be. So
thats what weve done, for mouth sores and dry

las mom.
ANGELS OF HOPE
Munteans medical expe-
riences and enjoyed pas-
times led her to begin her
Angels of Hope mission
donating surprise-filled
pillowcases and American
Girl dolls to patients at
Greenville Health System,
Childrens Security Blan-
ket (Spartanburg) and
Cleveland Clinic, where
she is still receiving im-
munotherapy/antibody
and radium treatments for
a tumor found in March.
Right before (my leg
reconstruction) surgery,
I was waiting to go back,
and there was a nurse
who was helping me get
ready and she drew an
angel on my pillowcase.
That pillowcase went in
with me during my sur-
gery and my surgery end-
ed up being miraculous
The tumor turned out to
be 90 percent dead when
we thought that it was still
fully alive prior to the sur-
gery, she said.
After my surgery, with
chemos and different
things I was going through
I would bring the pillow-
case with me, and I always
found out that it was kind
of a good luck charm for
me.
Knowing the comfort
the pillowcase brought
her, Muntean asked GHS
pre-op nurse Pam Wrobel
if she would be interest-
ed in helping provide the
cases for other pediatric
patients. She agreed to
draw the custom angels
on drawstring pillowcases,
and Angels of Hope was
born.
Through individual
and church donations,
the family fills the cases
with goodies, toys, ac-

munities, so he came out
and spoke to us about how

tive, maybe how we can
get more organized.

side of the hospital.
The mission has deliv-
ered approximately 50 pil-
lowcases since April.
A TRUE AMERICAN GIRL
In addition to the pil-
lowcases, Muntean also
donates American Girl
dolls. She was a fan of the
popular doll before her di-
agnosis, but they took on a
new significance after she
received a bald doll during
one of her hospital stays.
We call her Mini Bella,
she said. Mini Bella would
go with me to every che-
motherapy, every surgery,
every major event, and
she was always dressed
up. She gave me so much
hope to have like a little
person with me for ev-
erything. If we give these
dolls to other girls, then
they can have a compan-
ion with them throughout
their treatments. It was
just awesome to know it
helped me and it might
help others.
Muntean began a fund-
raiser on Instagram to
help purchase dolls at the
American Girl Benefit Sale
in Wisconsin. She was able
to buy 16 dolls to donate
with the $1,000 raised.

Jim served in the USAF
for 20 years, and contin-

through the Greer DAV

a contractor for GE for 30
years which allowed him
to travel the world. His
passion in life was to learn
something new every day
and enjoy life to the full-
est. He was always avail-
able to anyone in need
whether it be a shoulder
to lean on or a computer
crisis, he was there at a
moments notice. He was
a giver, never a taker, and
was selfless to the very
end. There was never a
pretentious side to Jim
tralian programs, and car
racing. But most of all, he
cherished and was totally
dedicated to his family,
his wonderful friends, and
his pets (our babies).
He always said: You
will be judged by the qual-
ity of friends that you
have and, in the end, all
that matters is that you
have left a little something
of yourself that is true and
good. He kept his posi-
tive attitude until the very
end. His wit, charm, kind-
ness, and sense of humor
will live on forever.

involvement of the com-
munity.
The 38th annual version
of the fundraiser on Nov. 2
at Fairview Baptist Church
will showcase the talents
of two generations of peo-
ple that learn and live in
Greer.
Local students will bake
casseroles and two of
GCMs Senior Diners will
create artwork to sell at
Big Thursday.
Culinary students at
the J. Harley Bonds Ca-
reer Center will create 200
casseroles from recipes
that date back to the first
Big Thursday. Chef Ste-
ven Musco and his team
will put together chicken
pot pies, baked spaghetti,
macaroni and cheese, and
sweet potato casseroles.
They will then be frozen
and sold the day of the
event beginning at 8 a.m.
This is the second year
that the students have
partnered with GCM in
this way.
Pelham Medical Center
is sponsoring the joint
venture this year, provid-
ing a $2,500 sponsorship
to purchase ingredients
and packaging supplies.
Our support of the
community is really all
about our mission, said
Tony Kouskolekas, pres-
ident, Pelham Medical
Center. Part of our re-
sponsibility and role is to
give back, whether that
is supporting kids with
their career development
or sponsoring events. Its
a fundamental part of our
mission to be involved in
our community.
Hal Endsley and Brian
Marks are artists that at-
tend GCMs Senior Dining
program. They wanted to
give back to the ministry
and decided to use their
talent to create paintings
and colored pencil draw-
ings to sell during the
event. A special section
in the gym will highlight
their works.
Endsley, a 93-year-old
WWII veteran, hosted an
art show for GCMs Meals
on Wheels program in the
spring of 2016. That show
netted over $1,100 for the
program. He continues to
draw daily and said he is
anxious to help again.
I cant explain it, End-
sley said. I enjoy doing
it. I like to create art for
charity.
Marks, who is also do-
nating handmade Christ-
mas ornaments to sell,
joined the Senior Dining
program with his mother
earlier this year. He has
taught in schools, clinics,
and retirement communi-
ties. He also pioneered the
Art of Recovery initiative
for the S.C. Department of
Mental Health.
God graced us with an
abundance of beautiful
colors and it is a joy to
paint them, Marks said.
Big Thursday begins at 8
a.m. with a craft and food
bazaar featuring hand-
made items and baked
goods donated by local
churches and individuals
in the Fairview Baptist
ROC gym. The silent auc-
tion is from 8 a.m. to 6:30
p.m. Two meals will be
offered including a bar-
becue lunch from 11 a.m.
to 1 p.m. and the Greer
Lions Club hot dog supper
from 5-7 p.m. The live auc-
tion begins at 7 p.m. All
proceeds benefit GCMs
four programs: Meals on
Wheels, Senior Dining, a
food pantry, and a cloth-
ing closet.
Want to learn how you
can help fill the tables
with unique holiday gifts,
crafts, and baked goods?

The Town of Lyman will

to handle the impacts of
future severe storms, fol-

The town authorized
Duke Energy to stage

pending storm damage in
the Town of Lyman park-

property.
It would be ongoing as
needed, said Town Ad-
ministrator Gregg Miller.
If it ever becomes a con-

Crime
Report
(Note: All information
contained in the following
was taken directly from
the official incident reports
filed by the Greer Police
Department. All suspects
are to be considered inno-
cent until proven guilty in
the court of law.)
PUBLIC INTOXICATION
Jason James Niel, 43,
of 111 West James St. in
Greer has been charged
with Public Intoxication
and Interfering with a Po-
lice Officer.
According to an incident
report filed by Greer Po-
lice, officers responded to
a call about a suspicious
individual in the area of
Trade and Randall streets.
When they arrived, they
saw Niel walk out of Bull-
ocks Barbershop and sev-
eral members of the Greer
Fire Dept. identified him
as the disruptive subject
theyd called about.
When police told him to
stop, Niel took off running.
Eventually, he stopped
in front of Chelseas on
Trade St. He was sweating
profusely and his move-
ments were erratic.
Inside his pocket, police
found a small plastic bag-
gie with a white powder
inside. The substance test-
ed positive for metham-
phetamine and weighed
0.3 grams.
Niel was arrested and
issued citations for Pub-
lic Intoxication and Inter-
fering with Police. At the
Greer Detention Center,
Niel became disruptive,
banging on the holding
cell door.
Later, while an officer
was talking to him inside
the cell, Niel allegedly
charged the officer in an
attempt to escape the cell.
The officer restrained him
with a physical hold and
then cuffed him again.
Eventually Niel was
transferred to the Green-
ville County Detention
Center.

BHS tops Boiling Springs with ground game
BY BILLY CANNADA
SPORTS EDITOR
The Rebels used their
running game to dig them-
selves out of a hole on the
road last Friday, topping
Boiling Springs, 45-21.
The win is the sixth of
the season for Byrnes and
the first in region compe-
tition.
It was an important
game for usa must win
for our playoff hopes,
head coach Reggie Shaw
said. The guys respond-
ed well to the Spartan-
burg loss. We challenged
them all week to get back
to playing Byrnes football
and thats what they did.
It was a slow response in
the early going, as Boiling
Springs opened the game
with three quick scores.
They hit some big plays
on us and next thing you
know, its 21-9, Shaw
said. Our guys settled
down. We made some ad-
justments on defense and
were able to take away
some of the big plays.
Rahjai Harris and Brock
Carroll scored the Rebels
two first half touchdowns.

Tigers pull away
from Devildogs
BY BILLY CANNADA
SPORTS EDITOR
Blue Ridge picked up its
first region win last Friday,
topping rival Travelers
Rest, 32-20, to claim the
jug and bragging rights.
The Tigers stormed out
of the gate, taking a two
score lead at 12-0. That
lead did not last, however,
as the Devildogs scored
twice to go up 13-12.
Keeping its foot on the
gas, Blue Ridge responded.
There was no sense of
panic, head coach Shane
Clark. They knew they
just had to go back to work
and they were able to do
that. Thats a good thing
to see from our guys.
The Tigers forced a turn-
over and put together two
late scores to seal the con-
ference win.
Offensively, we had a

lot of guys making plays
and executing, Clark said.
Some of that comes from
getting back to the funda-
mentals and focusing on
assignments. It was a good
win for us.
Clark said the victory
will go a long way in se-
curing a playoff spot for
the Tigers.
It puts you in a good po-
sition to potentially make
the playoffs, Clark said.
Having that bye week be-
fore the region was good
for us, and hopefully this
win will help with some
momentum as we roll into
the next three.

DOWN TO EARTH
Williams has big night
as Greer thumps Eagles
BY LELAND BURCH
FOR THE GREER CITIZEN
The High flying Eagles-
ran into a stone wall
Greers defense at Dool-
ey Field on Friday night
when the Yellow Jackets
celebrated Homecoming
with a 42-7 victory that
brought previously un-
beaten Eastside down to
earth.
The Yellow Jackets held
Eastside to minus yardage
rushing, sacked Morgan
five times and quashed
two Eagles attempts to
keep drives alive on fourth
downs. The defensive ef-
fort slashed Eastsides
scoring average by 40
points.
It was our best game
in some areas, and oth-
ers not so much. Our kids
were pretty fired up, and
our defense played lights
out, said Greer Coach
Will Young afterwards.
He praised the defensive
front and linebackers, say-
ing they have played real-
ly well the last 3-4 weeks.

FOR THE GREER CITIZEN
One big game follows
another at Dooley Field
this month when unde-
feated Greenville comes to
town Friday to face Greer
High in a 7:30 p.m. match-
up.
No question, this is
another big game for us,
said Greer Coach Will
Young whose Yellow Jack-
ets knocked off previous-
ly unbeaten Eastside last
week.
Although Greenville
competes in another
4-A region, the contest
could be a preview of the
post-season playoffs. Our
region is matched up with
theirs for the first round
games, Young confirms.
There is still a long way
to go as we will have two

yards and three touch-
downs.
It was great to see our
offensive linemen finally
have a breakout game,
Shaw said. With the three
run threats that we have,
we feel like our ground
game gives us the best
chance to sustain drives
and move the ball down
field consistently.
Byrnes will now shift
its focus to Nation Ford,
which is 3-4 on the year.
Theyve played some
good teams, Shaw said.
Theyre going to be very
dangerous. Theyve been
inconsistent, but they do
have playmakers in a lot
of spots. It will be a chal-
lenge for us.
The Rebels jump back
into region play on Oct.
20 with a matchup at Gaff-
ney. They will then return
home on Oct. 27 for a ri-
valry game with Dorman.
Youre going to have
some dog fights down the
stretch, Shaw said of the
region. Teams are going
to be scratching and claw-
ing. Every game counts
and you cant afford to
play bad in the region.

Catching up
I
ts been a while since
Ive used this column to
write about sports and
I know Ive missed some
things.
So, Ill try to run the
gamut here and give you
my take the many topics
Ive missed since entering
this traumatic new-
born-having phase of life.
THE ANTHEM
I gotta be honest, I cant
believe this is still a story.
Id hoped to completely
miss out on this con-
troversy, but this thing
keeps dragging on, so
heres how I see it. Any
time the anthem is played
in a public setting, its a
time to recognize sacri-
fices made on our behalf
and people should show
respect. In my world,
that has always meant
putting your hand over
your heart, taking your
hat off and standing up.
There are serious issues
out there and people
feel unfairly treated, but
the anthem is a time for
unity, not protest. Having
said that, I get that people
are going to still protest,
and thats fine. This is
America, after all. They
have the right to do that.
Lets just drop it and
move on.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL
One of the coolest
moments of being in
labor was watching South
Carolina pull off a last
second win on a late Jake
Bentley drive. Its been a
better year for the Game-
cocks, although their fans
would gladly list all of
the teams flaws should
you ask. Clemson, on the
other hand, appears to be
a contender again. Ugh.
Please at least try to con-
tain yourself, Tiger fans.
You might end up with
your hands full against a
team like Miami later on
in the year. The U is back,
if you havent heard.
HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
Shannon and I took
Penny to her first football
game at 2 weeks old last
Friday. We werent going
to miss the Greer/Eastside
showdown, although it
appeared that the Jackets
didnt plan on making this
one much of a game. As
has been the case all year,
Greer is very good. But so
is Eastside, guys. Dont
let that score fool you.
Eastside will finish second
in the conference and
win a playoff game. The
Eagles are much improved
and their quarterback,
Jordan Morgan, is putting
up numbers unlike many
other players in the state.
Greer should feel very,
very good about that win.
UNC/NCAA
Ill likely have more to
say about this next week,
but the NCAA has appar-
ently concluded its report
detailing penalties for the
University of North Car-
olina and its academic
scandal dating back de-
cades. With details prob-
ably coming this week, I
would urge you to watch
how this story is reported.
My guess is that reaction
to the sanctions will com-
pletely depend on what
happens to mens basket-
ball (although thats not
what the case is about).

North Greenville falls to Catawba JACKETS: To square off
North Greenville scored
17 unanswered points in
the second half to force
overtime last Saturday
against Catawba.
The Crusaders effort
fell short, however, as the
Indians escaped with a 26-
20 victory.
Catawba now leads the
series with North Green-
ville 7-2, winning the last
three meetings with the
Crusaders.
Catawba put up the first
points of the day, taking
advantage of an inter-
ception on North Green-
villes first drive of the
game. The Indians drove
52 yards on eight plays to
take a 7-0 lead.
North Greenville strug-
gled to get its offense go-
ing in the first half. The
Crusaders had a pair of
touchdowns called includ-
ing one in the first half,
which wiped clean at least
12-points.
Catawba tacked on a
touchdown with 4:46
left in the first half on a
one-yard run. The Indi-
ans also got some special
teams help as Trey Murray
picked up a muffed punt
and returned it 41-yards
to take a 20-0 lead.
Matt Gravely added a
field goal at the end of the
half but trailed 20-3 at in-
termission. North Green-
ville had just 171 yards of
total offense in the first
half, the longest drive be-

Those guys are very ag-

now. Great defenses win
championships.
Young was also pleased
with Greers offense that
piled up 537 yards, say-
ing, our line blocked well
and our running backs,
Qua White and Dre Wil-
liams did a great job.
Williams had a career
best 290 yards and three
touchdowns as the Yellow
Jackets improved to 6-1
overall and took a huge
step toward clinching the
region title.
All of that overcame giv-
ing up half the field on a
kickoff that was another
in this seasons Twilight quarterback Trey Houston
Zone events. Having tak-
en a 21-7 lead in the sec-
ond period, Greers Edwin
Sales kicked off, and the
ball sailed out of bounds.
Yellow Jackets were off-
sides when ordered to re-
kick. On the third attempt,
a Greer player caught the
short kickoff in the air
while racing downfield.
The officials gave Eastside
the ball at the Greer 29-
yard line.
Coach Young explained,
Although the third kick
went beyond 10 yards,
it did not hit the ground,
so Eastside got the ball. It
really was a case of mis-
communication on our
part. Eastside was playing
with us, and we with them,
trying to kick the ball to
a spot. We should have
just kicked the ball, gone
downfield and made the
tackle.
Determined to register
a 14th. straight win in the
series, the Yellow Jackets
struck quickly, scoring in
two plays after forcing an
Eastside punt that land-
ed at their own two-yard
line. Williams churned out
to the 14-yard line on the
first play, and then shot
86 yards up the middle to
the opposite end zone on
the next. Sales kicked the
first of seven extra points
as Greer took a 7-0 lead at
the 8:48 mark of the first
period.
Eastside came right
back to tie the game in
two minutes flat. The Ea-
gles cruised 75 yards in
just thee plays as Morgan
hooked up with fleet-foot-
ed Chance Pride. The Ea-
gles opened with a 13-yard
pass to Pride. Two plays
later, Morgan delivered a
pass to Pride, and the se-
nior wide receiver zipped
through the Greer second-
ary for 55 yards before
being brought down at the
three. Morgan scored on a
third down keeper from
three yards out, and Joe
Bontrager kicked the extra
point to knot the score a
7-7.
GREER REGAINS LEAD
After an exchange of
punts, Greer safety Richie
Sadler intercepted an East-
Crusader
Corner
ing 63 yards which was
capped by a Gravely field
goal.
North Greenville came
storming back in the sec-
ond half, recovering from
a 2nd negated touchdown
due to a penalty, a drive
that ended with Gravelys
second field goal of the
day.
North Greenville rode
the momentum of the de-
fense, scoring the next two
touchdowns to even the
tally at 20-20 on a pair of
one-yard touchdown runs
from Tristan Jackson.
Jacksons two touch-
downs capped scoring
drives of 80 and 69-yards.
North Greenvilles offense
took advantage of the mo-
mentum created by NGUs
defense, which forced
four punts in the second,
half while intercepting one
pass.
Will Hunter threw for
228 yards on 18 comple-
tions against a Catawba
defense that has held
opponents to 160 yards
through the air this sea-
son.
Ashton Heard led all
rushers with 117 total
yards. Tristan Jackson had
a season-high 63 yards on
side pass at his own 15-
yard line. That launched
an 85-yard scoring drive
of six plays as the game
entered the second period.
The Yellow Jackets again
turned to Williams who
zoomed 48 yard up the
middle to score as Greer
regained the lead at 14-7.
Linebacker Matthew Ma-
son sacked Morgan for a
nine-yard loss on the Ea-
gles next possession. De-
spite the setback, Eastside
gambled on converting a
fourth-and-four at the Ea-
gles 40 yard line and came
up a yard short on a pass
from Morgan to Pride.
Greer made Eastside
pay for losing the gamble.
On the next play, Greer
threw for 128 yards, com-
launched a 43-yard pass
to Braxton Collins who
made a fingertip grab at
the goal line for a touch-
down. That was a great
catch, Coach Young said,
noting, Braxton is one of
the hardest working kids
on the team.
That was followed by one
of the strangest kickoff se-
quences ever that resulted
in Eastside getting the ball
at the Yellow Jackets 29-
yard line. But the Eagles
failed to take advantage
of the break. After picking
up a first down on a pass,
Morgan was flagged for
intentional grounding the
ball while being pursued,
resulting in a 24-yard loss.
On the next play, Morgan
was sacked for another
24-yard loss leaving the
Eagles facing third down
and 58 yards.
That led to a punt that
Qua White returned 45
yards to the Eastside 33
yard line. We wanted to
pressure Morgan, and we
were able to, which made
a difference in the game,
Coach Young explained.
From there, Greer
launched a nine play scor-
ing drive that Houston
capped with an eight-yard
quarterback keeper. That
put the Yellow Jackets up
28-7 with 1:49 remaining
in the half.
The Eagles came back
with a pair of first downs
as Morgan connected on
passes of 11 and 38 yards
to Pride and Payton Man-
grum, respectively. The
Yellow Jackets held at
their own 30-yard line
when Jacob Harris sacked
Morgan on a fourth-and-
seven pass attempt.
Greer took the second
half kickoff and embarked
on a long drive, moving
54 yards to the Eastside
14 yard stripe. But Greers
scoring threat evaporat-
ed when Houston lost the
handle on the ball, and
Mangrum recovered for
the Eagles.
The Yellow Jackets got
the ball back when Ethan
Alexander intercepted an
Eagles pass and returned
the pick 50 yards to the
Eastside 16 yard-line. Af-
ter the Greer suffered a

13-carries and led all play-
ers with two scores.
Matthew Thomas led
NGUs defense with 12
total tackles including 10
solo. He also had NGUs
only sack of the day.
Travis Beatty accounted
for the only turnover for
the Indians picking off an
OBrien pass late in the
fourth quarter.
Trey Evans and TJ
Lowe-Foston both had an
interception for the Indi-
ans while Michael Peppers
five-yard penalty, Williams
scampered 14 yards to set
up a touchdown. The ju-
nior running back got the
points on a burst up the
middle that made it 35-7
with 5:09 remaining in the
third period.
Eastside later pinned
the Yellow Jackets back
at their four-yard line on
a long punt, but Williams
jetted upfield for 60 yards
on the next play. Greer
was into the end zone four
plays later when White
crossed the goal line on
a 24-yard run to cap the
scoring.
Greer piled up 548 total
yards for 21 first downs.
The Yellow Jackets rushed
for 420 yards, Houston
pleting 13 of 23 passes.
Eastside had nine first
downs on 192 total yards.
Morgan connected on
20 of 28 passes for 231
yards, but Greers defense
shoved the Eagles back-
ward for minus 26 yards
on the ground.
The Yellow Jackets lost
one fumble and were pe-
nalized ten times for 75
yards; Eastside lost a pair
of pass interceptions and
were hit with seven penal-
ties for 52 yards.

STATE OF

COUNTY OF NEWBERRY
HENRY B. MOSLEY, JR.,
Plaintiff,
v.
MIRANDA B. SIMMONS,
Defendant,
with undefeated Greenville
FROM B1
Coach Young said of
Greers 35-14 defeat on
the road in 2016. We had
several turnovers and spe-
cial teams miscues that
really hurt. You take those
away, and it might have
been a different outcome,
or certainly it would have
been a lot closer. I think
we are playing a little bet-
ter this year.
Young said the 2017 Red
Raiders, are really good,
but I dont know how
to put them in perspec-
tive because we have not
played a single common
opponent.
Greenville is averaging
48 points a game, having
routed Wade Hampton,
Carolina, Christ Church,
Mann, Easley, Pickens and
Wren by large margins.
They are very good of-
fensively with a number
of starters back from last
year, Young said. Green-
ville has an excellent quar-
terback in Davis Beville
and a really good running
back in Danyaus Wil-
liams-Byrd, a 205-pound
senior.
The Red Raiders operate
from the spread offense.
All of their wide receiv-
ers are good, and Tydricus
Hellams is outstanding.
Young added that the
Greenville offensive line
ers back from injury this
week, making game plan-
ning a little more compli-
cated for Blue Ridge.
Their quarterback has
been out with an injury
and the word is that hes
supposed to be back this
week, Clark said. We
dont have a lot to look at
with him on film, but we
know hes fundamentally
sound and theyll have a
good game plan for him.
The Tigers have been
on the road for a while
this season, but will re-

is solid. They have good
size kids who move well
up front and maintain
blocks well.
Young said the Yellow
Jackets have been play-
ing really good defense
for several weeks. Im not
predicting anything, but
we will put them out there
and see if we can slow
Greenville down.
Young also said Green-
villes defense would be
a difficult challenge. We
still have things that have
got to be cleaned up offen-
sively if we expect to move
the football consistently.
Greenvilles defense is a
standard 4-3 with some
4-2 at times, Young said.
TreDorion Arnold, a 6-2,
140 pound senior, is an
excellent defensive tackle,
as is Stevie Johnson, also a
senior, at defensive end.
He adds, Jaylon Jenkins,
a senior, is their leading
linebacker. Hellams starts
at cornerback, and they
have a really good safe-
ty in Jalen Tate, a sopho-
more.
Gabe Hannon, a starting
Greer offensive lineman,
sat out the Eastside game
with an ankle injury suf-
fered in practice. Young
said Hannon is expected to
return this week. Other-
wise, we should be at full
strength for the game.
turn home in the final two
weeks for matchups with
Eastside and Greer.
This is our fifth week
in a row of not being at
home, Clark said. It does
kind of wear on you a lit-
tle bit. It is a grind, but the
guys are still working hard
to prepare and play well.

GMC students to serve community during Spirit Week

BY KAELYN CASHMAN
STAFF WRITER
As Greer Middle Col-
lege (GMC) students gear
up for their annual Spirit
Week, fundraisers and a
list of service projects are
on the agenda.
Similar to Hope Week, a
summer event started by
a GMC senior, this years
Spirit Week will include a
list of projects provided
by Greer Relief and Greer
Community Ministries
(GCM).
We really want to take
all of the weight off both
of these organizations
shoulders, said Bryson
Bargar, Student Body Pres-
ident at Greer Middle Col-
lege Charter High School.
We want to give them a
vacation.
Spirit Week will take
place from Friday, Oct. 27,
to Friday, Nov. 3, with a
full calendar of projects,
activities and events to
raise funds for a student
center including a gym.
Some of the projects
from Greer Relief and
GCM include painting a
door, delivering Meals on
Wheels, mowing a clients
yard, repairing a floor,
painting walls and helping
with a Christmas store.
Everything we do is
open to the public, Bailey
said. Were really hoping
more than anything to get
more than just our school
involved.
A carnival is set to kick
off the week Friday, Oct.
27, with inflatables, pho-
to booth, cakewalk, priz-
es and more. After 7:30
p.m., the activities will
move from the front of the
new building to the back,
where the patio will be ar-
ranged to show a movie.
Were trying to make
this as big as possible,
Bailey said.
Other activities for Spir-

it Week include yard sales,
pancake breakfasts, bowl-
ing, art and talent show Greer Middle College students came out Friday, Sept. 22, for the first Party on the Patio at the new building in place of
and one of the highlights, Dance on the Deck at the trailer park.
Mr. GMC.

Were not as focused on
funds as much as we are
on serving this year, said
Kelley Bailey, Student Gov-
ernment Advisor. I feel
like weve nickeled and
dimed our families and
community a lot, and so
we just really want to give
back to our community
more than anything.
Of course, there are
things monetary wise,
she continued. That ac-
tivity center will just open
up so many more doors
for us and kind of help us
budget wise and cost wise
because right now were
still having to rent soc-
cer fields and basketball
gyms, so when were able
to have our own, it will be
so awesome.
The goals for Spirit Week
are to serve at least 2,000
hours at Greer Relief and
GCM as well as to raise at
least $40,000 towards the
student activity center.
Were in Greer, Bailey be given to students who
said. We want to serve
Greer. We just feel like
Greer has done so much
for us.
Our administrators and
everybody is getting in-
volved, Bailey said. Its sponded in less than 30
going to be a lot of fun.
Friday, Nov. 3, is the fi-
nale with a powder puff
football game in a tourna-
ment style.
Were revealing how
many service hours we did
for each organization and
how much we raised, Bai-
ley said of that night.
Parents and students
who attend GMC need a
certain number of service
hours in order to gradu-
ate.
Its a good way for them
to get the service hours
they need. Bailey said
of the volunteer projects
during Spirit Week. Im
over part of the service
hours here at the school.
We like for them [parents]
to do stuff for our school,
but our school was raised
by our community.
Free t-shirts are going to
grow and be bigger than
volunteer their time to
work on the projects sub-
mitted by Greer Relief and
GCM.
When I contacted them
about it, they both re-
minutes, Bailey said of
the nonprofits. They have
incredible volunteers, but
they get tired.
Everyone deserves a
break, she continued.
Our break will come in
November. Really, were
serving one another. I
think our world needs a
little bit more of that.
Anything leftover from
the yard sales is going to
be donated to Greer Relief
and GCM.
We sell a lot of stuff,
but were left with more,
Bargar said.
One environmental sci-
ence class at GMC is go-
ing to do landscaping
for Greer Relief and GCM
during Spirit Week.
Its a lot of what theyre
learning in class, Bailey
said.
I think its just going to
ourselves, she continued.

Ansel Elgort stars in Baby
Driver
|
COUCH THEATER
BY SAM STRUCKHOFF
NEW RELEASES
FOR THE WEEK OF OCT. 9
PICKS OF THE WEEK
Baby Driver (R) --
Baby Driver is both a love
story and a crime story,
with a sweet soundtrack.
Baby (Ansel Elgort) drives
the getaway car for Doc
(Kevin Spacey), but not
necessarily by choice. He
is exceptional behind the
wheel, with a focus driven
by his personal playlist --
Baby is never without his
iPod, earbuds and sun-
glasses. When he falls for
angelic waitress Deborah
(Lily James), the one last
heist Doc planned takes a
screeching turn, and noth-
ing will ever be the same.
The characters -- a lunatic
criminal named Bats (Ja-
mie Foxx), a suave Bon-
nie and Clyde couple (Jon
Hamm and Eiza Gonzalez)
-- are memorable. The in-
tegration of music in this
film is infectious and de-
lightful. It is a refreshingly
fun ride, enormously en-
tertaining from the witty
dialogue to the exhilarat-
ing car chases.
The Pilgrimage (NR) --
It is the 13th century, and
an envoy from the Vatican,
Geraldus (Stanley Weber),
commands the inhabitants
of a remote Irish monas-
tery to escort their relic
to Rome. The relic is seen
as a powerful tool to turn
the tide in the Crusades.
A small group of monks
is chosen at accompany
it, including wide-eyed
novice Diarmuid (Tom
Holland, in a decidedly
non-Spideylike role) and
a mute with a terribly vi-
olent past (in a praisewor-
thy performance by Jon
Bernthal). They must cross
an unfriendly landscape
filled with both desolate
natural dangers and the
remnants of a war-infest-
ed past. Richard Armitage
plays the leader of a band
of Norman soldiers who
join the monks in order to
protect the relic and en-
sure success of their jour-
ney, which is fraught with
peril from the inside out.
The House (R) --
When you bet the farm, it
doesnt always work out,
and thats where youll
find The House -- not a
total loss, but certainly no
big payoff. Scott and Kate
Johansen (Will Ferrell and
Amy Poehler) get ready to
send their daughter off
to college, and discover
that they have no money.
Their neighbor Frank (Ja-
son Mantzoukas) comes
up with a cockamamie
scheme to turn the Jo-
hansens house into an
under-the-radar casino
to earn the money on the
quick. Things happen;
some of them are funny.
But in the end it comes off
as a bawdy slew of not-
quite-as-funny-as-planned
skits.
Wish Upon (PG-13) --
Joey King and Ryan Phil-
lippe play daughter and
father in this mystical
horror thriller by director
John Leonetti, of Anna-
belle fame. Single dad
Jonathan gives Clare a mu-
sic box, which grants her
seven wishes. But, as the
saying goes, you must be
careful what you wish for,
because everything comes
at a price. Its meant to be
serious and scary, but its
camp, plain and simple.
You might be wishing for
the end sooner than you
think.

about 16 percent of the
people are not sure where

Spearheaded by Car-

$15 donations to receive
locally handmade pottery
bowls and a simple meal
of soup, bread and tea.
All money raised will be
given to TOTAL Ministries,

hundred pottery bowls to
choose from and about

Empty Bowls is a world-

phenomenon without any

It was started in 1990-91
by a high school art teach-
er who wanted to involve
his students in an art-
based community project
of making pottery bowls
that could be used to raise
money to feed the poor.
From that humble begin-
ning, the concept spread
around the world, taking
on many different aspects,
but always keeping locally
made pottery bowls as the
source of the fundraising.

B8 THE GREER CITIZEN FUN AND GAMES
A Fib increases risk
of blood clots, stroke
DEAR DR. ROACH: I
have been taking warfarin
(Coumadin) for two years
now. I started taking it
after a knee-replacement
surgery, when they dis-
covered I had atrial fibril-
lation. I have high blood
pressure and high choles-
terol that are controlled
with medication, and dia-
betes controlled with diet.
Do you think I need to be
on warfarin if my blood
pressure and cholesterol
are well-controlled? Be-
fore the surgery I was on
two 81-mg tablets of aspi-
rin. Could I safely go back?
-- J.K.
ANSWER: Doctors rec-
ommend warfarin or oth-
er anticoagulant medica-
tion for people with atrial
fibrillation -- a chaotic
condition of the electrical
system of the heart -- if
they have more than min-
imal risk for blood clots
and stroke. Older age, fe-
male sex, high blood pres-
sure and diabetes (even
if controlled), congestive
heart failure and history
of stroke or vascular dis-
ease all increase risk for
stroke in people with atri-
al fibrillation, also known
as A fib.
Although I dont know
how old you are, just be-
ing female and having
high blood pressure and
diabetes puts you in a risk
category where you would
normally be recommend-
ed to stay on anticoagula-
tion. Never stop warfarin
(or similar medication)
without first discussing it
with your physician.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am
a post-menopausal wom-
an (12 years since my last
cycle). Last month, I had
a light period that lasted
over a week. I have seen
my OB/GYN, who sent me
for a pelvic ultrasound and
a transvaginal ultrasound.
The only thing it showed
was a thickening of the
lining. I then had a biopsy,
and the results came back
showing normal cells. He
seems stumped, and said
that if it happens again,
hed suggest a D and C.
But, as he acknowledged,
a 66-year-old woman isnt
supposed to be having pe-
riods. Obviously, he and I
both know something isnt
right but just dont know
what it might be. Any
thoughts? -- D.H.

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2017
ANSWER: Any bleeding
after menopause needs to
be evaluated, since it can
represent uterine cancer
about 10 percent of the
time. Fortunately, that is
very unlikely with a nor-
mal biopsy. Since you did
have a thickened endo-
metrium, it is possible
that you have endometrial
hyperplasia, though this
should have shown up on
the biopsy. An ultrasound
should have picked up a
polyp.
If it does happen again,
you should certainly have
further evaluation. Even
though a negative biop-
sy is very good evidence
that there isnt a cancer,
no test is perfect. About
20 percent of women with
persistent bleeding after a
normal biopsy had cancer
or a precancerous lesion.
This occasionally happens
when the uterine cancer is
in one focal place, rather
than present throughout
the lining of the uterus.
