Halloween Hoopla set for Sunday, Oct. 29
BY BILLY CANNADA
EDITOR
Thousands of trick-or-
treaters will storm the
grounds of Greer City
Park this Sunday during
Halloween Hoopla, a city-
wide event that features
games, costumes and
you guessed itplenty of
candy.
The annual outing,
which is put on by The
Church at Greer Station
(TCGS) and Resurrection
Church, has been a sea-
sonal Greer tradition for
the better part of 10 years,
according to TCGS Pastor
Trevor Hoffman.
It was something the
City of Greer started about
a decade ago and Freedom
Fellowship became their
primary pool of volun-
teers, Hoffman said. Af- Hoopla has taken on a life

For crack

sale
A Duncan man will
spend 25 years in prison
for selling crack cocaine
to an undercover police
informant.
Rusty A. Jones, 27, was
found guilty of third-of-
fense distribution of crack
cocaine at the conclusion
of a two-day jury trial.
Greer police utilized a
confidential informant
to purchase .83 grams of
crack cocaine from Jones
on June 25, 2014.
The drug deal involved
marked money and a re-
cording device that cap-
tured the transaction.
Assistant Solicitor Eddie
Hunter utilized law en-
forcement and the confi-
dential informant to prove
the case.
Jones will have to serve
85 percent of Circuit
Judge Mark Hayes prison
sentence before he is eligi-
ble for release.

Hoffman said Halloween
to serve the community.
The incident occurred at
the bridge area of J. Verne
Smith Parkway and E.
Poinsett St. Extension.
Greer police say the car
that was being pushed was
a 1994 Nissan Sentra. It
was struck by a 2013 Toy-
ota Corolla.
A person inside the Nis-
san Sentra, who was steer-
ing the vehicle at the time,
sustained injuries and was
transported to Spartan-
burg Regional.
The Greer Police Depart-
ment and the Spartanburg
County Coroners Office
are investigating the col-
lision.

FROM THE MAILBAG | KAELYNS
Why is
candy corn
so popular?
Q: Why do South Carolinians
love Candy Corn?
A: Youve probably seen the
stat floating around on social
media, but in case you live
under a rock, a recent study
revealed that the preferred Hal-
loween candy of South Carolin-
ians is Candy Corn.
Why is this? Well, because
were the most normal state in
America, quite honestly.
Who doesnt love Candy
Corn?
Along with the leaves
changing and the
temperature falling,
Candy Corn is one of
the only ways to tell that
its even fall.
Its so good that you cant
even describe it to someone
inquiring about its taste.
It has been said that Candy
Corn is the Nickleback of Hal-
loween candy (its popular to
say that you hate it), but such
talk is blasphemy.
You can find delight in
chocolate and fruit snacks at
any point during the year, but
Candy Corn is a seasonal treat.
Along with the leaves chang-
ing and the temperature falling,
Candy Corn is one of the only
ways to tell that its even fall.
People that say they hate
Candy Corn are not only lying
to themselves, but also to their
fellow man.
How many times have you
said I dont really like Candy
Corn, then dipped your hand
in the jar for a scoop of Candy
Corn to make sure you hate it?
Its because everyone loves
Candy Corn, whether it be
secretly or openly.
Now if youll excuse us, weve
made ourselves hungry.

Very clever of you to buy a red one,
I remarked, buckling my seatbelt and

we left the dealership, agreed. I thought

GUEST EDITORIAL
Newseum validates need
for traditional journalism
Everybody knows its been a rough decade for
traditional media.
Newspapers have shrunk, TV ratings have
fallen and news radio has been reduced to a po-
litical propaganda machine.
The root of the matter is that the Internet has
changed everything, from how we watch mov-
ies to how we shop and communicate.
Unfortunately, its also degraded the quality
of news that we consume.
One thing that will never change is our need
for real news, genuine reporting on critical
events in our city, state, country and world.
That fact was cemented for me last Friday
when I went to the Newseum in downtown
Washington DC.
The vast six-floor museum tells the story of
American journalism in a captivating, unforget-
table way.
I know Ill never forget my trip there. There are
some incredible artifacts, including the largest
section of the Berlin Wall you can view outside
of Germany. Perhaps even more impressive is
the three-story watchtower from which armed
guards shot down those trying to climb the 12-
foot concrete barrier and escape to freedom.
There is also a moving 9/11 exhibit that in-
cludes a part of the antenna that was atop the
North Tower of the World Trade Center until it
came crumbling down that fateful day. A piece
of United 93s fuselage is also on display along
with the fiery front pages of more newspapers
than I bothered to count.
But as sad and touching as the September 11
exhibit is, the Newseums greatest attraction its
its Pulitzer Prize Photographs Gallery, which
features every photo to win that award since it
was created in 1942. Its both life-affirming and
heart wrenching, this gallery of photographs. I
had already seen most of these images in books
and online, but its quite a different beast
standing there and staring at the prints.
In 1969, Eddie Adams won a Pulitzer for a

right towards a pick-up truck before
swerving back into our original lane.
As Paul was still trying to get his
breathing under control, I added cau-

BUCHHEIT Vietnamese gener-
al executing a pris-
oner on a street
with a revolver less than a foot from the pris-
oners head.
The photograph became an icon and changed
the lives of all involved. Its an example of the
visceral impact these images continue to have
after so many years.
If it makes you laugh, if it makes you cry
if it rips your heart out, thats a good picture,
said Adams.
This exhibition is full of photographs that do
just that. Its one you have to see for yourself,
as words, no matter who writes them, simply
cant do it justice.
Visiting the Newseum made me proud to have
been a journalist for the last 16 years.
In general, people dislike media personnel.
They criticize columnists, distrust reporters
and give spot news photographers all the re-
spect of buzzards circling a kill.
In an era where people fear, hate and scorn
the media, the Newseum validates how import-
ant journalism really is.
Theres no denying the fact that, without re-
porting, whether through video, text, or photo,
we would have no knowledge of what is going
on, whether it be in our own state or in the far-
thest regions of Africa.
In an increasingly insular and self-seeking
world, news isnt as important to us as it was.
That, however, doesnt make our need for
it any less. A few hours in the Newseum will
change the way you view journalism and the
people who provide it.

I dont want anybody getting ash and

Father Robert will look at us like idiots if
we ask for him to perform an exorcism.
Besides, youre looking at this all the
wrong way. Instead of thinking weve
nearly been killed four times by this car,
maybe think its excellent steering and
nimble ability has saved us four times.
Im just saying this wouldnt be the

replied. You might be driving home late
one night, glance in the rear view mirror
and see some ghastly face in the back
seat staring back at you.
Shut up. Paul replied nervously.

Halloween
H
alloween is probably one of
my least favorite holidays.
Growing up, my fami-
ly would celebrate my older
sisters birthday since she was
born on that day.
My younger brother was born
the day before on Oct. 30.
We celebrated birthdays or
turned off the lights during the
holiday as others went out to
gather treats.
One year, a neighbor gave us
a huge bag of candy afterwards.
As I got older, my family
moved south, and I moved
farther south for my first full-
time job.
In the south, I learned about
Trunk or Treat.
| This year, I will be joining in
celebrating the birthdays of my
mother-in-law and her sister,
who are twins born on Oct. 31.
Dressing up and giving away
candy is not so bad now that I
am old enough to have my own
opinion.
Nevertheless, some decora-
tions seem to be getting more
and more gruesome.
Dismembered bodies, skulls
and bloody displays are not my
idea of a fun holiday to cele-
brate.
I am not a fan of haunted
houses either or anything
creepy. There is enough in real
life that is fearful.
I look forward to Thanksgiv-
ing, Christmas and Easter.
I prefer thankfulness during
a feast with family, joy at the
birth of the Christ and hope
from the resurrection of Jesus.
Honestly, I have focused more
on the birthdays surrounding
the holiday, so I have not often
participated in festivals and
other fun activities related to
the holiday.
Acts 20:35 says, In all things
I have shown you that by work-
ing hard in this way we must
help the weak and remember
the words of the Lord Jesus,
how he himself said, It is
more blessed to give than to
receive.
This year, Id like to thank
everyone who takes the time
and money to give away candy
and special treats to children
and others who ask.
Matthew 7:7, 9 and 11 say,
Ask, and it will be given to
you; seek, and you will find;
knock, and it will be opened to
you....Or which one of you, if
his son asks him for bread, will
give him a stone? Or if he asks
for a fish, will give him a ser-
pent? If you then, who are evil,
know how to give good gifts to
your children, how much more
will your Father who is in heav-
en give good things to those
who ask him.

Q: What is your opin-

home, then renting it out
when youre not there?
DR: I see nothing wrong
with it, as long as youre
buying with cash and
youre also debt-free.
A vacation home is a
wonderful extra as you
start building wealth.
Remember though, its
still basically a very large,
very expensive toy.
In most cases it will go
up in value, and if you
rent it, it might become
something of a money
maker for you.

Youll probably make
some money, but in most
cases there will be several
weeks during a year when
it sits empty.
Youre not going to get
rich renting it out.
So, theyre not really
great investment proper-
ties.
What youre talking
about is more of a plan to
offset the annual costs of
your toy.
If you look at it that
way, I dont think youll
be disappointed.
If youre determined to
go this route, be ready
to deal with spills on the
carpet and damage from
your guests, along with
general maintenance and
repairs.
Theres always some-
thing that needs attention
when you own a property.
But if you can handle
all that emotionally and
financially and youre
not looking for it to be a

will make you rich youll
be fine.

I want to work with

Hannah enjoys helping
other people despite the
challenges of working 24-

His wifes mother grew

Gaffney
Will face
Dorman
BY BILLY CANNADA
SPORTS EDITOR
Byrnes dropped to 1-2 in
region play Friday night,
falling to rival Gaffney on
the road, 48-27.
The Rebels dug them-
selves into a hole they
could not climb out of in
the first half, giving up
four scores in the first half
to the 5-4 Indians.
Byrnes got on the board
before intermission, as
Brock Carroll hit Zy Young
for a 22-yard score to nar-
row the score to 28-7.
Gaffney continued to
keep its foot on the gas in
the second half, scoring
three more times and forc-
ing Byrnes into 10 pen-
alties totaling more than
100 yards.
The Rebels are now one
of three teams in the re-
gion with only one confer-
ence win so far (the others
being Boiling Springs and
Spartanburg). Byrnes will
return home for its regu-
lar season finale against
Dorman, who is a perfect
3-0 in region action.
The top four teams in
the region will get play-
off nods and the top two
will receive home playoff
games.

BY BILLY CANNADA
SPORTS EDITOR
Jordan Morgan set a
school record for passing
yards and touchdowns
last Thursday against Blue
Ridge, lighting the Tigers
up for seven scores and
543 yards during East-
sides 72-27 win.
With the victory, the Ea-
gles improve to 3-1 in the
region and secure a home
playoff game in the first
round of the Class AAAA
playoffs.
Despite the lopsided
score, the game was close
early in the second quar-
ter, as a quick start left the
two teams tied at 14-14.
Touchdowns by Chance
Pride and Payton Man-
grum, however, let the
game get out of hand be-
fore intermission, as East-
side took a commanding
49-24 lead.
Pride finished with 173
receiving yards and two
touchdowns.
Blue Ridge quarterback
Jake Smith tossed for 269
yards and three touch-
downs for the 3-6 Tigers.
Trey Houston led his team to a 63-20 win over Union County in the Jacket Bowl last Friday night at Dooley Field. Greer
will travel to Blue Ridge this week to take on the Tigers.

FOR THE GREER CITIZEN
Greer went to the head
of the class with a 63-20
trouncing of Union during
the annual Jacket Bowl
last Friday night.
The host Yellow Jack-
ets improved to 8-1 and
wrapped up the Region III
title in the process with nu-
merous firsts for the 2017
season. Among them were
the first defensive touch-
downs, the first scores by

FOR THE GREER CITIZEN
Despite wrapping up the
Region 3 championship
and home field advantage
for the first two rounds of
the Class AAAA playoffs,
Greer cannot afford to
look past the final regular
season game, a clash with
rival Blue Ridge this Fri-
North.
Blue Ridge limps into the
contest with a 3-6 overall
record and 1-3 in the re-
gion. The Tigers have de-
feated Riverside, Landrum
and Travelers Rest, but
lost to Belton-Honea Path,
Liberty, Chapman, Maul-
din, Union and Eastside.
With a win over Blue Ridge last Thursday, Eastside secured a home playoff game for the
first round. The Eagles will take on Wren this week.

Dr. Google
I
ve always tried to be
a straight shooter with
you guys.
If I cant be honest and
relatable in my columns,
they wont be any good. I
realize that.
Thats why I confess
things I wouldnt normal-
ly confess and write about
embarrassing moments
in my life that I would do
better to keep to myself.
Well, here comes anoth-
er one:
I have an unhealthy
relationship with Dr.
Google.
I generally worry and
have anxiety about a va-
riety of topics, but health
is a particularly rough
issue for me. I just cant
let things go. And once
my brain makes up its
mind on a specific worry,
theres no relief.
Heres how it normally
plays out for me.
It will be a perfectly
normal day and Ill be in
perfectly normal health.
Then, all of the sudden, I
hear a radio commercial
about a specific type of
Hmmm, my brain will
whisper to me. Maybe
you should check yourself
for that.
I usually obey, and with-
in the hour, Ive found
something on my body
thats going to put me in
an early grave.
Google is your worst
enemy in these situations.
Even if you start with a
harmless search, youll
end up on a page thats
telling you to rush to the
emergency room.
Why do I do this? I
cant tell you how many
seasons of life Ive ruined
by walking around with
a major health worry
hanging over my head.
I thought having a child
would help me, but on the
contrary, it has sent my
anxiety into overdrive.
Not only am I Googling
my problems every day,
but now Im also Googling
Pennys problems.
My search history is
quite revealing:
Is it normal for babies
to snore?
When to worry about
spitting up
How do I know if my
newborn has Colic?
Add that to the number
of aches and pains Ive
searched since her birth,
and Ive spent nearly ev-
ery non-busy moment of
my life on Google looking
for medical advice.
I know what youre
thinking. Go to a doctor!
Get off the internet! Stop
this madness!
Youre right. This is no
way for anyone to live.
Thats why Im inviting
those in similar situations
to join me in leaving Goo-
gle. For too long, this web-
site has given me access
to a wealth of information
that has only served to
damage my overall psy-
che. No longer!
If death is going to
come for me (I assume
that it will), let it come.
I cant control the time
and place of my physical
demise, so I need to stop
trying.
Maybe, with my new-
found free time, I can
start reading more books
or finishing more house
projects or binging more
Netflix shows.
Ok that last one was a
joke, but you get what I
mean.
Life is too short to wor-
ry about when its going
to end. When I finally
make it to my death bed,
I dont want to regret all
the hours I spent with a
phone in my hand, search-
ing the depths of the
internet for a problem I
either had or didnt have.
None of us are making
it out of here alive, so its
pointless to live like we
might.
If youre like me, step
away from the Google.
And if you see me on it,
you have permission to
smack the phone out of
my hand.

GREER: Earns win over Union County, remains perfect in conference action
FROM B1
season, Greer managed
to lose a third straight
coin toss and received the
opening kickoff. Marklean
Ware bobbled the boot
and found himself under a
pile of Union Yellow Jack-
ets at the ten-yard line.
That merely set the
stage for one of Greers
longest touchdown drives
of the season, 90 yards
in three minutes and 11
plays. Running back Dre
Williams launched the
drive on the first play of
the game with a 26-yard
run that gave Greer some
daylight. Quarterback
Trey Houston then took
to the air, completing four
passes to Qua White, the
last a six-yard touchdown
strike. Edwin Sales kicked
the first of his nine extra
points.
After forcing a punt,
Greer put together a 12-
play scoring drive that
covered 59 yards. Williams
caught a 16-yard pass
from Houston to get the
points as Greer took a 14-0
lead with 3:07 remaining
in the first period.
But the host Yellow Jack-
ets struck out on their next
three possessions, includ-
ing one that began at the
Union 30 yard line where
sophomore linebacker
Jakyre Kerns intercepted
as pass. We had third and
fourth down attempts that
we did not convert for sev-
eral reasons, Young said.
Once we did not have
enough push up front, an-
other time our back did
not stay in his lane long
enough, and then Chris
Quinn caught a pass and
landed just a yard short.
Then Greer scored a cru-
cial third touchdown with
a 56-yard drive following
a Union punt with 2:17 re-
maining in the half.
GOT AWAY WITH ONE inches.
Houston found Ware for
a 16-yard pass completion
to start the drive. Greer
later drew a holding penal-
ty that set the Jackets back
to the 24-yard line after
having gained a first down
at the 11. But Houston de-
livered a 14-yard shot to
Braxton Collins and then
scored on a 10-yard run
with :15 seconds left in
the half. That gave Greer a
21-0 cushion.

Houston completed 22 of

Union wound up with
274 yards. The visitors
had 14 first downs on 98
yards passing and 176
yards rushing.
Greer again led in pen-
alties with a marginal im-
provement from a week
earlier of eight flags for
63 yards. Union was pe-
nalized four times for 30
yards, but had four turn-
overs. Greer did not have
a turnover.

Sugar Ray Robinson had
never lost a professional
fight until he met LaMot-
ta, with LaMotta winning
on points in their second
meeting. Sugar Ray was
every bit the guy youve
heard so much about --
he truly was the greatest
pound-for-pound fighter
ever.
In their famed St.
Valentines Day Massa-
cre in Chicago, the 11th
round stands out for me.
They traded punches the
entire time, and LaMotta
kept charging. Robinson
would win by TKO two
rounds later. In the words
of LaMotta, We fought so
much I felt like we were
married.
ALI VS. FOREMAN -- ROUND
8 als at the age of 15. He
George Foreman had de-
stroyed Joe Frazier twice,
and he was the angriest,
scariest guy you ever saw
when he met Ali in The
Rumble in the Jungle.
Ali set the specifications
for the fight, demanding
a larger ring and elastic
ropes that allowed him to
basically lounge against
them as Foreman banged
away in what is now
referred to as the rope a
dope. By the 8th round,
Foreman had nothing left,
and Ali put together a
championship flurry that
floored Foreman to regain
his title.
HAGLER VS. HEARNS --
ROUND 1
Marvin Hagler had a
chip on his shoulder and
a cut over his eye by the
middle of one of the most
celebrated rounds in
history. Thomas Hearns
had been predicting a
knockout and at one point
had the Vegas odds in his
favor. When his brother
taunted him on the way
to the ring, Hagler tossed
his fight plan and charged
Hearns with the fury of a
guy who never felt he got
the respect he deserved.
Every single second of
this round featured a
punch. When the round
was over, the fans were
literally screaming and
on their feet applauding
so wildly it sounded like
Beatlemania. Probably the
best fight ever, and the
first round was an instant
classic.
DEMPSEY VS. FIRPO --
ROUND 1
Before Jack Dempsey
went out of his corner, his
cornerman told him that
he had bet his share of
the purse on a first-round
knockout. Incensed,
Dempsey went out like a
crazed lunatic, throwing
bombs and knocking Luis
Firpo all over the ring. To
see the Manassa Mauler
punch was an incredible
sight. He could dance
and move, but when he
threw a punch, he would
rear his arm all the way
back and launch it like a
howitzer, swinging from
his heels with vicious in-
tentions. Firpo was game,
and knocked Dempsey
through the ropes late
in the round. Dempsey
would go on to win in
two, but he lost his share
of the purse.
Many years later, after
the two had retired,
Dempsey met up with
Firpo in Argentina, where
Firpo handed him an
envelope with instruc-
tions to open it after he
boarded his flight home
to New York. Dempsey
opened the envelope to
find $20,000 in cash. How
great is that?
Carson McAbee won a gold medal for his recent
powerlifting performance.
McAbee wins
gold medal
in powerlifting
Seventeen-year-old Car-
son McAbee, of Greer, won
a gold medal at his first
national powerlifting com-
petition. The USAPL Raw
Nationals took place in Or-
lando, Florida, Oct 10-15
with over 1,100 competi-
tors.
McAbee has been com-
peting in powerlifting for
two years. He normally
competes on a state or
regional level but started
working towards nation-

Classic in August of 2017
where he broke three state

Martin Truex Jr. sur-
vived a restart penalty and
an unscheduled pit stop to
return to what has become
a thoroughly familiar lo-
caleVictory Lanein home track (closest to
Sundays Hollywood Casi-
no 400 at Kansas Speed-
way.
In a dramatic race that
brought Truex his seventh
Monster Energy NASCAR
Cup Series win of the sea-
son, calamity eliminated
four drivers from the se-
ries Playoff. Jamie Mc-
Murray, Ricky Stenhouse
Jr., Matt Kenseth and Kyle
Larson all saw their post-
season hopes end with the
final event in the Round of
12.
The shocker was Larson,
who fell out of the race on
Lap 77 when his engine ex-
ploded on the frontstretch
after dropping a cylinder a
few laps earlier. The driver
of the No. 42 Chip Ganassi
Racing Chevrolet finished
39th in a 40-car field and
dropped to ninth in the
standings, nine points be-
hind Jimmie Johnson.
The seven-time champi-
on moved into the Round
of 8 despite spinning
twice in the space of five
laps late in the race. But
Johnson was the prime
beneficiary when NASCAR
parked Kenseth, after a
massive wreck on Lap 198,
for a violation of the dam-
aged vehicle policy, spe-
cifically having too many
crewmen over the wall
to work on the car on pit
road.

ter Furniture Row Racing
road-crew fabricator Jim
Watson succumbed to a
heart attack, Truex fin-
ished 2.284 seconds ahead

to sweep both Kansas rac-
es in the same year. The
victory was Truexs sec-
ond at the track and the
14th of his career.

competition consists of
three compound lifts:
squat, bench and dead-
lift. Carson lifted a total
of 1,250 pounds in those
three events and won a
national champion gold
medal in his age and
weight division. His dead-
lift was 507 pounds, his
squat was 479.5 pounds
and his bench press was
264.5 pounds.
McAbee is a senior at St.
Josephs Catholic School
where he is on the varsi-
ty baseball team and is a
semifinalist for the Na-
tional Merit Scholarship

Joey and Renee McAbee, of
Greer.
Just cant say enough
about all these guys on
this Furniture Row/Bass
Pro Toyota, Truex said.
Just really proud of them.
Definitely racing with
heavy hearts today with
losing Jim (Watson) last
night. Want to send our
condolences to his family
and all of his friends. He
was a heck of a guy and a
great worker and put a lot
of speed in these Furni-
ture Row Toyotas, so glad
we could get him one here.
Excited to get another
one here at Kansas. This
feels really awesome. Its
really Furniture Rows

just feels really good to
finally get to finally get
another one here. We got
that one in the spring after
so many heartbreaks, and
then today it looked like it
was going to happen and
we just persevered.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

Hiatt shares unique
part of Greers past

GREER HERITAGE MUSEUM
The announcement
of a new downtown ho-
tel brings to mind the
Greer hotels of the past.
In fact, the new hotel will
sit across the street from
the best known hotel in
Greers history, the Way-
side Inn. Advertised as
the best little hotel in
the South, the Wayside
opened on December 17,
1929 under the manage-
ment of W. W. Marmaduke.
Built at a cost of $100,000,
it provided 50 rooms. The
best ones had their own
bathrooms. It had a coffee

Greer is the 1915 Greer
City Directory that lists
the Smith Hotel on Hill
Street (E. Poinsett) and the
Greer Hotel on the corner
of Trade Street and Ran-
dall across from the P&N
depot. Since the Piedmont
and Northern Railway had
begun service in 1913 at
the new depot, it made
sense for a hotel to locate
near the two rail lines.
The Southern Railway had
been giving Greer service
since the first depot was
built in Greer in 1873 by
the Airline Railway that
merged with the Southern.
The Smith Hotel, more

would step out on the up-

ring a bell to let the hun-

served.
Since the National High-
way came through Greer
along what is Route 290
today, it made sense to
place hotels along the
main traveled road from
Spartanburg to Greenville.

Tyger River celebrates 20-year milestone

BY KAELYN CASHMAN
STAFF WRITER
Twenty years ago, the
Lyman Fire Department
and Zoar Fire Service be-
came the Tyger River Fire
Department to improve
service in the area.
Since then, the depart-
ment has reached the
highest level of quality
with an ISO Class 1 rating.
We here at Tyger Riv-
er enjoy serving the res-
idents of Lyman and will
not settle for providing
anything less than excel-
lence in service to the cit-
izens of this great town
and the county area, said
Fire Chief James C. Redd.
Tyger River Fire Depart-
ment Station 2 hosted the
20th anniversary dinner at
355 Locust St., Lyman, last
week.
I just want to say what
an honor and a privilege
it is to work for this great
organization, an orga-
nization that is built on
customer service and do-
ing what is right for our
community, said Shawn
Harter, Tyger River Depu-
ty Fire Chief.
Harter grew up in east
Greer and moved to north-
ern Lyman.
Ive lived here all my
life, Harter said. It is an
honor to get to work with
people I grew up with. It
makes us a community.
Thats something that I
cherish.
Harter started as a vol-
unteer fireman at the Ly-
man Fire Department in
1992, the year he graduat-
ed high school.
My father-in-law was
the captain in Lyman,
Harter said. He brought

My 10 favorite concerts - Part 2

20TH CENTURY FOX
Andy Serkis in War for the
Planet of the Apes
COUCH THEATER
BY SAM STRUCKHOFF
NEW RELEASES
FOR THE WEEK OF OCT. 23
PICKS OF THE WEEK
War for the Planet of
the Apes (PG-13) -- In
the final installment of
the Apes trilogy, we
find Caesar (Andy Serkis)
in charge of the apes, a
band in search of a safe
haven from the unre-
lenting rogue forces of
Alpha-Omega, led by the
sadistic renegade colonel
played by Woody Har-
relson. An olive branch
offered by Caesar is
viciously rebuffed, which
sets him off on a personal
quest that will embody
both introspection and
retribution. Along the
way, his band adopt a
human child who may
hold the key to the end
of the War for the Planet
of the Apes. The film
gives as much depth to
character development as
its searing battle scenes,
and does an incredible
job with both. Its a fitting
end to a very well-done
series.
Annabelle: Creation
(R) -- As a dollmaker and
his wife grieve the loss of
their daughter, a demon
poses as the little girls
soul in order to gain entry
to the physical world,
taking the form of an an-
gelic porcelain doll. Hip to
the demons maneuvers,
the couple trap it inside
their daughters bedroom.
Flash-forward 12 years
and the couple open
their home to a group of
displaced orphans. What
could go wrong? Every-
thing. Talitha Bateman
stars as Janice, the unfor-
tunate orphan possessed
by the demonic presence,
while Stephanie Sigman
plays Sister Charlotte, in
charge of her protection.
This is the prequel to An-
nabelle and the fourth
installment in the super-
natural The Conjuring
series.
A
great concert is a spe-
cial experience.
It can provide the
joy of a birthday party,
emotion of a revival and
camaraderie of a sporting
event. It can transcend
age, race and geography,
uniting total strangers
in an electric celebration
of life. As a rock music
fanatic, Ive been to nearly
200 concerts in the last
three decades, seeing
over 50 different artists.
In compiling this list of
my favorite 10 concerts,
| I decided to choose only
one particular show by
each artist. Last week, we
counted down numbers
6-10. Here are my five
favorite concerts, along
with the necessary whens,
wheres and whys.
5. GREEN DAY CRICKET
ARENA, CHARLOTTE,
4/20/05
The album, American
Idiot wasnt just one
of the best of the new
millennium, it put Green
Day back in the national
spotlight. The night after
they appeared on Satur-
day Night Live, the group
played an epic show be-
fore a jam-packed Cricket
Arena crowd. Everyone in
the 50-year-old arena re-
mained standing through-
out the show, which fea-
tured Green Days most
elaborate accomplishment
to date, the nine-minute
anthem, Jesus of Subur-
bia. The band was at the
top of its game for two
blistering hours, mixing
90s classics like She,
Basket Case and Brain-
stew, with fresh new
punk like St. Jimmy and
Holiday.
Favorite Moment : After a
cover of Queens We Are
the Champions, the group
disappeared, leaving singer
Billy Joe Armstrong to bid the
crowd goodnight with the
nostalgic Good Riddance/
Time of Your Life.
4. METALLICA
SUNTRUST PARK, ATLANTA,
7/9/17
When I first saw legend-
ary metal band Metallica
in Memphis two decades
ago, I was just getting into
them. I was dazzled by
their skill and intensity,
and vowed to see them
play live again one day.
That day finally came last
summer when the ground-
breaking thrashers played
the new Braves stadium.
For a Sunday, it was a par-

BUCHHEIT
ticularly raucous crowd,
and they were treated
to a concert that beauti-
fully blended old-school
metal and pyrotechnics
with high-tech video,
lighting and sound. The
music was deafening, but
uncommonly clear and
well-mixed for an outdoor
show. The band, mean-
while, blew the crowd
away with old anthems
(One, Fade to Black)
and thrashers (Battery,
Seek and Destroy.). By
the time they encored
with Enter Sandman, the
crowd of 40,000-plus was
a sweaty, smiling mess.
Favorite Moment: After the
second song, singer James
Hetfield gave a unifying
speech to the crowd, saying
he didnt care about anyones
religion, politics or person-
ality, that the only thing
important that night was the
music. Metallica then played
two beloved tracks from the
Ride the Lightning album,
For Whom the Bell Tolls and
Creeping Death.
3. BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
BILO CENTER, GREENVILLE,
SC 9/16/09
I love the Boss. In fact, I
flew all the way to Jersey
to see him do his final
shows at Giants Stadium.
Ive seen him ten times way back to 1989, when
since 1992 and he never
fails to give you three
hours and 100%. That
said, I dont think Ive
ever seen him do a setlist

covers as well. During
the regular set, the band
did a muscular version of

But it was during the
encore that Youngs
performance went from
great to my favorite ever.
All night, the guy next
to me had badgered the
performer, yelling for
him to play Old Man.
Meanwhile, some teen
across the auditorium had
been yelling for Heart
of Gold. Though neither
song was actually in the
original setlist, he played
them both before ending
the show with Walk With
Me. Of the 59 shows he
played on that particular
tour, Young played Heart
of Gold just four times.
Its one of my all-time
favorite tunes by one of
my favorite artists, and
helped cement this 2010
solo show as my all-time
favorite.

Apple no substitute
for toothbrush
DEAR DR. ROACH: I
have heard that an apple
a day keeps the dentist
away and that an apple is
natures toothbrush. Can
we really skip brushing
our teeth if we eat an ap-
ple instead? -- R.T.
ANSWER: Ive read many
opinions about this sub-
ject, and I tend to agree
with the ones that show
that apples are high in
both sugar (some newer
varieties much more so
than old ones) and acid,
which can damage teeth.
Apples do have some
ability to remove some
particles from the teeth,
but they will not clean all
surfaces of the teeth. So,
I would not skip brush-
ing after an apple, even
though apples are much
better for your teeth than
sticky sweets.

KEITH
ROACH, M.D.
exophytic cyst bulges out
of the kidney and is filled
with fluid. The big concern
with these is whether they
can be cancerous. A sim-
ple cyst, with thin walls
and fluid without any sol-
id structures, has a very
low likelihood of being
cancer and does not need
further evaluation. If the
sonogram cant show that
for certain, then a CT scan
is usually done.
Kidney cysts are graded
according to the Bosniak
category, based on their
appearance by CT scan.
The more complex the
cyst, the higher the likeli-
hood of cancer. Older age,
being a male and asbestos
exposure are risk factors
for cancer of the kidney.
Despite those risk fac-
tors, if this were a sim-
ple cyst (Bosniak I or II)
and unchanged in eight
years, it is very unlikely
to be cancer, and I would
recommend letting it be.
However, if it were a Bos-
niak category III or high-
er, I would discuss biopsy
with the urologist.

I am walking with pads. I
have diabetes, but my sug-
ar level is moderate. I have
seen three doctors with-
out results. Do you have
any thoughts? -- B.G.
ANSWER: Anytime I
hear symptoms that could
be numbness, pain, tin-
gling or burning sensation
in someone with diabetes,
I think it is diabetic neu-
ropathy until proven dif-
ferently. It is not usually
hard to diagnose with a fil-
ament (to test light touch
sensation) and a tuning
fork (to test vibration), but
occasionally an electrodi-
agnostic test (i.e., EMG) is
necessary. If your regular
or diabetes doctor hasnt
helped, I suggest a neurol-
ogist.
Blood sugar levels that
are persistently high are
more likely to result in
diabetic neuropathy, but
longstanding diabetes,
even when its moderately
well-controlled, can lead
to neuropathy.
