Greer resident Megan Huffman prepares a dish for the Extended Stay America contest. She is currently a finalist in
the Newmans Own Greens for Good contest.
She feels good about her
chances.
I know the taste of it is
really delicious, so I think
I stand a good chance,
but there its up against
some really good recipes
as well.
Huffman knows the competition is stout because
she was actually a finalist
last year as well. She did
not win, but as with this
year the Meyer Center was
the recipient of $1,000.
Though she has made
the finals twice now, she
never even expected to
make it once.

big day, all I get is a hastily purchased
card from the Dollar Store and a grocery
store cake with four inches of icing that
makes my teeth bleed for a month.
Yep, were at the age where we dont
really need anything. Which is kind of a
relief. Ah, yes, its very nice when youre
young and just starting out and there
are all sorts of lovely pieces of furniture
youd like for your house, or pieces of
artwork and pottery. Perhaps a Keurig
on your countertop and a widescreen TV
to put over your fireplace so that when
you come home from staring at screens
all day, you can stare at the very biggest screen all evening. And when we
were barely in our thirties, because we
lived round the corner from Sweet Lady

wedding cakes for the rich and famous),

SAYS
Donates 7,000

Does the right pantry
Q: If a credit card
company has charged off
a debt, can they still sell
that debt to someone else
who can come after it? Im
currently receiving calls
about a debt thats more
than 20 years old. Do you
have any suggestions?
DR: Charging off a debt
doesnt mean that the
right to collect has been
given up or revoked. All it
means is that the debt is
no longer on their books
as an asset. They dont
think theyre going to collect, but it doesnt mean
that the legal right to collect has ended.
The real problem here
is whether or not the debt
is outside the statute of
limitations. Check with
a lawyer in your state to
make sure. Another issue
is when someone buys
and tries to collect on a
20-year old credit card
debt, they paid about five
cents on the dollar for it.
These debt collectors are
the worst type of bottom
feeders.
If they call, just hang
up on them unless theyre
willing to be respectful
and reasonable. You can
probably settle this for 10
or 15 cents on the dollar,
and get them out of your
life for good.

versity to do an economic
impact study during the
festival.
The whole point of the
festival is to draw people
to Greer to see what Greer
has to offer, she said.
That obviously includes
all the businesses downtown, but we think once
people come to Greer,
theyll be more likely to
visit again.
Weather pending, the
chamber expects more
than 10,000 people to stop
by the festival.
Oktoberfest stays busy
the whole time, Witherspoon said. Its a pretty
exciting day.
Several downtown roads
will be closed from Saturday until Sunday morning,
including: Trade Street
from Poinsett Street to the
railroad tracks, Victoria
Street from the parking
lot entrance to Poinsett
Street, and Randall Street
from the back of the Davenport to Depot Street.

Were talking 60 refugees. Of those, do we think
its going to take jobs away
from people, the 1.6 million people in the Upstate?
We dont think so. We
think it will be an added
benefit to the Upstate that
has a large international
community.
World Relief officials

get the information out to

Greer topples
Travelers Rest
BY LELAND BURCH
FOR THE GREER CITIZEN
Greer recorded one of
the most costly wins in
school history, slogging
past Travelers Rest 41-13
in a damp and dreary Friday night road game.
The Yellow Jackets paid
the price of losing lost
three starters to injuries.
Senior receiver Zach Glidden and junior center
Noah Blosser went down
with possibly season-ending knee injuries, and running back Adrian McGee
was sidelined with a hip
injury
To make matters worse,
the game was not well
played, said Greer Coach
Will Young. We were
sloppy. It looked like we
werent happy to be there.
Then when some things
went bad, some of the
kids went in the tank. We
have to snap out of that
because things are really
going to get tough down
the road.
We were sloppy.
It looked like we
werent happy to be
there.

Ramone Ramage, a senior wide receiver, will fill
in for Glidden. Young said
that freshman Dre Williams will relieve McGee
on offense, if necessary.
We also will give Troy
Pride a few more options
at running back. He did a
heck of a job there at Travelers Rest, and its not like
he hasnt ever played running back.
The Yellow Jackets will
be challenged by an Eastside defense that Young
says, is similar to what
we saw at Travelers Rest,
formation wise, based out
of a 4-3. But Eastside is
much better. They have a
solid line and secondary,
and their spur linebacker,
Joseph Fernandez, is an
especially good looking
player.
Offensively, the Eagles
will attack Greer with a
spread our of different
formation looks, similar
to ours. I think they want
to be a run team first, but
they also throw the ball a
lot, said Young.
They rotate a number
of kids in and out of the offensive line which is quite
good, Young continued.
Eastside has a good quarterback in T.J. Gist who
makes a lot of yardage on
scrambles. Their running
back, Jovani Lawton, is a

that will be in need of shelter during the winter.

need funding to come in
for the barn by early October. If they do not receive
the funding they need,
the park will have to look
to one of its off-site care
partners.
We really believe that
the best place for our
animals is here where we
know them, she said. We
know their behavior. We
know the toys they like.
We know the diets that
they need and want.
While Atchley conveyed
the needs of the park, the
animals continued to play
as usual.

Deane began assembling
small packs of lotion, hand

little items to distribute
during her treatments.
But she wasnt alone in her
mission.
Juanite Longoria, who attends church with Deane,
was diagnosed with colon
cancer and not expected
to live very long. But six
years later, Longoria is
still treating her cancer
as a chronic illness and
knows the harsh realities
of the cancer ward all too
well.
When I was first diagnosed, a family in the
church who had dealt with
cancer came up and hand-

Lisa Deane, right, with her nurse, Cheryl, rang the bell to announce that she was officially done with her chemo

patients through their treatments

those dealing with cancer.
Local artist John Roberts
is creating an Honor Board
that currently includes
over 70 names of people

Deane and Longoria
have set a goal of distributing 100 bags to some of
the cancer centers in the

they need the donations to
make that happen. To aid
in raising the funds, Deane
approached

for their support.
I was shopping with

I saw all the cute scarves

NEW RELEASES
FOR WEEK OF OCT. 12
PICKS OF THE WEEK
Tomorrowland (PG)
-- What we once knew as
the part of Disney World
that has Space Mountain
is now a feature-length futuristic adventure starring
George Clooney. Casey
(Brittany Robertson), a
plucky, science-oriented
teen, finds a pin that takes
her to a world of futuristic
fancy. She meets up with a
former boy-genius (Clooney) in the hopes that they
can find their way back
to Tomorrowland, where
things are shiny, science
is awesome, and mankind
lives in harmony with the
planet.
The film is really, really
fixed on this idea that science and society in general were better and more
hopeful some decades ago,
and that we need that oldtime optimism once again
if were going to make it
through the various social
and environmental problems of today. If you can
stomach the preaching, its
a fun ride for the kids, and
a lot less expensive than a
trip to Space Mountain.
San Andreas (PG-13) - Dwayne The Rock Johnson brings a helicopter to
an earthquake fight in
this mega-disaster thriller.
Ray Gaines (Johnson) is a
rescue guy who needs to
patch things up with his
ex-wife so they can save
their daughter from a super earthquake thats rearranging California. Not
much else to see or hear
over the roaring special effects.
Its a big, loud spectacle
that doesnt bring much
originality to the table.
The real objective here is
getting The Rock in a vehicle and watching it go.
Some viewers may need
to chug large quantities of
soda or tea, as the boom
and blunder is hard to
appreciate without a raging sugar-rush. Its fun,
but not worth the consequences.
Dope (R) -- Malcolm
(Shameik Moore) is on
his way to college from
a rough neighborhood
in California. Hes smart,
funny and a proud geek
who knows his hip-hop
trivia. Just when hes got
his shot at being really
cool, a series of events
leaves Malcolm with a
large amount of drugs and
orders to sell it -- or else!
This rare summer comedy
was hailed across the film
festivals for its originality, sharp wit, slick direction and hyper-awareness.
With this one role, Moore
has eyes on him for a follow-up performance. Pick
this one up for a different
perspective on what the
kids are up to these days.
Manos: The Hands of
Fate (R) -- This 1966 nobudget drive-in flop is
lauded as the worst movie
ever -- and its now remastered for Blu-Ray! The
first act features a punishingly boring account of a
husband, wife and young
daughter getting lost on a
Texas road trip. They stop
for the night a tiny lodge
tended by Torgo, a scruffy
weirdo whose exaggerated
limp gets its own theme
music every time he hobbles across the screen.
Theres an undying dark
priest in a stupid handthemed robe, The Master,
but he doesnt evoke so
much fear as pity, since
he can get no peace from
his harem of bickering immortal wives. Fair Warning: Manos is so bad that
its challenging to finish.
Watch with funny friends,
or pick up the Mystery
Science Theater 3000 version, which is almost the
same experience.

unpredictable menace he
gives the character that
will likely earn him an
Oscar nomination.
While that incendiary performance is the
highlight of Black Mass,
its hardly the films only
selling point. Director
Scott Cooper captures
much of the same human
ferocity, fear and emotion
he showed us in 2013s
underrated Out of the
Furnace. Aided by an allstar supporting cast, cool
soundtrack and captivating screenplay, Coopers
film is a rough and rousing start to the Fall movie

heart attack, and several
amateur and professional
cyclists have died as a
complication of too much
blood transfused or its
more modern equivalent,
the hormone erythropoietin, which causes the body
to make more of its own
blood. Losing blood, from
bleeding or donation, consequently reduces performance.
The plasma (fluid and
proteins) is made up
within 24 hours after donating blood, but it takes
four to six weeks to regain
the blood cells. Donating a
unit of blood can save up
to three lives. That should
give you some consolation. Maybe persuade your
friends to donate blood at
the same time, so you all
are on a level playing field,
so to speak.
