Wellford City Council
is taking action following
multiple annexation re-
quests from Startex resi-

Council unanimously
approved the first reading
of an ordinance annexing
a number of properties in
the Startex area last Tues-
day.
“The city has been work-
ing on these annexations
for several years,” said
Chris Guy, City Admin-
istrator. “Several home
and property owners in
the Startex area have ex-
pressed their wishes to
be annexed into the city
limits of Wellford for im-

“It is our desire to pro-

The City of Wellford will

“The Startex Fire De-

about the project back-
ground and the park’s his-

Interactive input sta-
tions that allow guests to
share their ideas will also
be a part of the session.
The workshop comes
on the heels of master
planning officials meeting
with local students to seek
their input on park struc-
tures and design.
“This input session will
build upon the design
ideas gathered from stu-
dents at six participating
elementary schools,” Alta
Planning + Design’s Calin
Owens said. “The goal of
this meeting for us is to
listen and learn.”
Owens said the design
team will be seeking to
learn more about positive
elements from the existing
Kids Planet, potential fea-
tures in a new playground,
and how the community
elements of the existing
park should be utilized.
“The local students have
been so excited about the
project and have provided
great ideas and exciting
challenges for the design
team,” said Ann Cunning-
ham, director of the City
of Greer Parks and Recre-
ation Department. “Now
we want to open planning
to the entire communi-

Offered exclusively for
graduates of the Municipal
Elected Officials Institute
of Government, the Asso-

vanced Institute in 2014
to provide elected officials
with continuing education
through classroom in-
struction and interaction
with experienced peers.
“The MEO Institute pres-
ents elected officials with
real world events and cur-
rent dilemmas being faced
by cities across our state,”
Dumas said. “As Greer
grows, we will continue
to face challenges that are
more robust and complex.
“Staff and outside ad-
visors offer valuable ad-
vice and guidance for city
leaders as we advance our
strategic and comprehen-
sive plans,” he said. “As an
advanced graduate of the
MEO institute, my resolve
to lean on the expertise
of specialists in municipal
management is more firm
than ever.
Bettis said the opportu-

the original Institute in

nance, different forms of
government, FOIA, gov-
ernment policies and eco-
nomic development.”
Officials participate in
at least four of six courses
to graduate from the Ad-
vanced Institute.
“The Advanced Institute
gives mayors and council
members an opportunity
to explore topics of in-
terest to cities and towns
in greater depth,” said
Wayne George, executive
director of the Municipal
Association.
Topics include public
safety, budgeting, utilities,
advocacy, economic devel-
opment and governance.
“I would say all topics
are applicable to Greer,”
Bettis said, “the basic
courses help get you start-
ed as a newly-elected of-
ficial, and the advanced
courses take a broader and
deeper approach to simi-
lar topics as well as addi-
tional subjects. During my
tenure the financial and
economic development
courses have been partic-
ularly helpful for assisting
the growth of Greer.”
“Probably one of the
courses that held more in-
formation for me on a sub-
ject that I had very little
depth of knowledge had to
do with utilities,” he con-
tinued. “We don’t manage
CPW the way some cities
do, but we are definitely
attached at the hip, and it
was good to get informa-

and procedures they have
to deal with.”

A4 THE GREER CITIZEN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 2018
I
t was sometime in the late 70s that I
first heard the astrological term, ‘Mer-
cury in retrograde,’—probably from
newspaper horoscopes that warned to
hold off signing contracts, travel, or op-
erate heavy equipment as chaos would
ensue. As a teenager with no contracts
demanding my signature or bulldozers
awaiting my engagement, I didn’t think
much about it and turned my mind to
more pressing matters: memorizing the
lyrics to the newest Zepplin release.
Even when I lived in West Hollywood
and used to frequent The Bodhi Tree
book store, retching slightly at the wave
of patchouli that met my nostrils upon
entering, I passed the books on astrolo-
gy that mentioned the phenomenon as I
bemusedly thought it to be hooey.
But beginning this last week all hell
broke loose for me and numerous
friends. My truck, clearly offended at my
making its cosmetic disfigurement pub-
lic in my last column, gave up its trans-
mission as I pulled into our driveway.
“Oh, thank you very much,” I hissed,
slamming it into Park, except that it
wouldn’t budge from Drive. “What lovely

“Happy New Year!”
That was the banner across
the top of this 1951 Greer
Citizen, which announced B.A.
Bennett (President of the Bank
of Greer) as the Citizen of the
Year.
The front page also high-
lights the history of the Greer
Public Library and states that a
new high school in Spartanburg
District Five will be named for
James F. Byrnes.
A police officer in Duncan,
Lt. James Greer, was given a
Wofford College class ring to
replace his old one, which was
destroyed in combat in Korean.
According to the article, Greer’s
ring was attached to his dog
tag and deflected a piece of
shrapnel, saving his life.
At the Dixie-Home Super-
market, steak was $1.11 per

GUEST EDITORIAL
Facebook scandal raises
questions about privacy
Mark Zuckerberg rightly faces a congressio-
nal grilling this week about Facebook’s failure
to protect users’ personal information. It is high
time that Congress addressed the issue of in-
ternet privacy, but it won’t be the first time Mr.
Zuckerberg and his company have faced federal
scrutiny.
In prepared testimony released Monday, Mr.
Zuckerberg takes full responsibility for recent
privacy violations and promises Facebook will
make changes to prevent a recurrence. The
problem is that he made similar promises in
2011 to the Federal Trade Commission.
Facebook denies that it violated terms of
the 2011 consent decree with the FTC and is
defending itself against an FTC investigation.
In that agreement, Facebook said it would not
misrepresent the privacy and security of con-
sumers’ personal information, said it would
obtain consumers’ consent to make changes in
the privacy of their data, such as what could be
shared with others, and said it would have an
independent biennial audit of its system to pro-
tect privacy.
The man who oversaw the 2011 consent de-
cree as FTC director of consumer protection,
Georgetown Law School professor David Vla-
deck, told the Chicago Tribune that Facebook
“in my view, is grossly out of compliance with
the FTC consent decree.”
The nation needs new penalties for gross
abuses of privacy rights for profit. And it needs
to broaden the definition of what is private in
response to challenges of the digital age.
Facebook is accused of allowing political con-
sulting firm Cambridge Analytica to reap per-
sonal data from as many as 87 million people,
including names, hometowns, work and educa-
tional histories, religious affiliations, and per-
sonal profiles disclosed by what users “liked”
on the social media platform. The consulting
firm was tied to the Trump presidential cam-
paign.

prompted her to hold a

to buy 16 dolls to donate

rested in their faith–a fact
that they wanted to share
with all they came into
contact with.
“I honestly don’t even
know (how I can do it all).
The only thing I can say
is it’s God,” she told me
at the time. “My faith has
just carried me through
all of this. I could not
have done this without
my faith and God, and my
friends and my amazing
support, especially my
church as well. I couldn’t
do this without any of
them.”
Bella was a member of
Covenant United Meth-
odist Church, where she
gave her testimony not
long after our interview.
When Bella went under
hospice care in March, the
church hosted a commu-
nity prayer vigil that drew
hundreds. She watched
the service from home via
live stream.
While prayers were
lifted for her, the leaders
shared Bella’s prayer for
those in attendance–that
they enter into the same
personal relationship that
she had with Jesus.
Brenda had told the
ery visit would be special. I
know I speak for the Greer
community when I say
thanks to Jason and Lori.
The BIN will be missed.”
Gossett said he had his
eye on downtown Greer
for seven months before
finding the BIN112 own-
ers.
“It was kind of a chance
meeting that ended up
coming to fruition,” Gos-
sett said.
Gossett is hoping to
open by the end of April,
but depending on the
equipment deliveries and
kitchen re-design, the
opening may be closer to
the middle of May.
“I think downtown Greer
is a great opportunity,”
Gossett said. “It definitely
will grow more significant-
ly in the next five years
than it has in the last 15.”
The restaurant will be
open from 8 a.m. to 10
p.m. every day, and Gos-
sett is looking to hire 10-
15 people. Gossett has
owned one other location
in Spartanburg for about
three and a half years.
BIN112 joins Rivera’s as
the second longstanding
downtown restaurant to
close since February.

At 9:45 a.m. on Friday,

In Loving Memory
of My Son
Gregory Mann
6/1/1982 - 4/13/2001
On the day God took you,
I thought that I would die.
You left us without warning,
I’ll never understand why.
I thought I might be dreaming,
That I’d wake and find you here.
I thought
“This can’t be happening”
As I wiped away my tears.
On the day you were laid to rest,
My heart broke yet again.
I wondered if the pain
would end,
But mostly, I wondered when.
You should have had
many years,
To watch your life unfold.
You’ll never have a wife & kids,
To love you till you grow old.
I wish I had more time,
Before your life was done.
I hope your resting peacefully,
I love you my precious Son.
Love and miss you so much,
Mom, Dave, Jen & Family

Dowd said.
“Then, we can increase

The SC Football Officials
Association (SCFOA) is
looking for new officials
for the 2018 high school
football season.
“We’re losing officials,”
explains Jeff Thomas, the
SCFOA’S District 1 Direc-

we’re not getting enough
young ones in. So, for us,
recruiting is the big thing
– recruiting and retaining
officials.”
Thomas, an Ohio native,
got into officiating two de-
cades ago after his son was
born and he no longer had
the time to coach. When
he moved to Greenville in
2006, he immediately be-
came certified in SC.
“I would just say that it’s
very exciting and it’s very
rewarding,” he says.

Life of
a casual
I
’m what you might call a
casual golf fan.
Most of us are.
Very rarely do I mark
my calendar or change
plans so that I can spend
a Saturday or Sunday
watching golf. It’s just
not that big of a deal to
me.
Neither is baseball, or
hockey, or soccer or the
NBA.
All of these sports
entertain me, but they
don’t lock me in.
There are exceptions
to this, of course. The
Masters remains one of
the greatest events on
the sports calendar, as
does the World Series,
the World Cup and the
NBA Finals.
That’s when the casual
viewer inside me turns
into a fanatic.
And fanatics aren’t
reasonable. They are, by
definition, unreasonable.
Like many of you, I
select few things from
this four-day outing.
First and foremost, Tiger
is back. I wanted all the
Tiger Woods, and from
a television perspective,
I got it. Tiger, however,
didn’t deliver.
But, that’s OK.
Tiger has been gone
long enough for golf to
build a life without him.
There were still plenty
of big names in the field
and several of them got
hot at exactly the right
time. Jordan Speith, for
example, put on a show-
case on Sunday, pulling
to within two strokes of
the lead before signing
his score card.
Also at the top on
Sunday were Ricky
Fowler and Jon Rahm
(and Bubba Watson on
the outside edge). I’ll be
the first to say it if no
one else will…nobody
wanted you to win, Pat-
rick Reed. It’s not that
people don’t like you.
Well, some people might
not like you, but us casu-
als don’t know anything
or care anything about
you. We wanted only one
thing—for you to three
putt that last hole and
take Ricky into a playoff.
That’s probably why
the crowd reaction was
subdued when you cel-
ebrated your Par on 18,
and the winning of the
2018 Masters. It was a
lack-luster ending to an
otherwise great event.
It’s weird operating as
a casual fan. Moments
before the final three
holes, I had no strong
feelings one way or the
other regarding Patrick
Reed, Ricky Fowler or
Jordan Spieth.
But Reed refused to
hit his ball directly into
the woods, blowing his
shot at a championship,
I was frustrated enough
to turn the channel. It’s
not the only time I act
like this either. During
the World Cup, I’ve
cheered louder for a
Clint Dempsey goal than
I ever did when North
Carolina won one of its
six national champion-
ships.
Why? Why would I
cheer so hard for some-
thing I know so little
about.
I believe, my friends,
it’s because this is the
best way watch sports.
If you have no rooting
interest in the event
or game, you’ll end up
passing the remote to
your wife so she can
watch her 900th episode
of Friends.
But if you set your
heart on an outcome
(this time, that outcome
was Patrick Reed hitting
his ball into the water),
you’ll be sure to find the
drama you’re looking
for.
I’ll admit to being a
casual fan, but I’ll argue
that you should be one
too.

Young Harris wins first NGU soccer 7v7
North Greenville’s Inau-

Championship went into
overtime, as Young Harris
1 topped Furman Universi-
ty White 4-3.
“It was a wild game. I
did not expect this,” said
Annie Miller of the North
Greenville University
women’s soccer team.
Each team took home
a trophy from Cowart
Awards.
The tournament fea-
tured a total of 18 teams
competing from 11 differ-
ent universities, including
NGU, and a local college
club team.
Each team competed in
three games of pool play
where they could earn
three points for a win, one
point for a tie and zero
points for a loss.
If there was a tie in team
points, it would come
down to the goal differen-
tial to decide which team
would move into bracket
play.
A game consisted of two
fifteen-minute halves with
a two-minute half time.
Between games teams had
the opportunity to shower,
play soccer tennis, watch
other teams compete and
bond.
“This day was so much
fun, I hope we do it again,”
said Annie Kate Hodge
who played for Anderson
Universitie’s Black squad.
For North Greenville Uni-
versity it was an opportu-
nity to rally good competi-
tion during the off-season
to get better and gear up
for the fall.
Head Coach Andy Robin-

the tournament and make
it better each year, bring-

WIN OVER LIMESTONE
The North Greenville

celebrated its seniors on
Saturday night with a five-
set victory over Limestone
College.
The Saints took set one
despite North Greenville
hitting almost .200 per-
centage points better than
the saints. The Crusad-
ers responded by taking
the next two sets from
Limestone to go up 2–1
in the set count. NGU nev-
er trailed in the second
frame and led by as many
as five when Matthew Mc-
Manaway put away a kill
to make it 16–11. The
Crusaders went up 24–20
with a kill from Jackson
Gilbert before another
McManaway spike earned
NGU the win. NGU jumped
out to its biggest lead of
the night with an eight-
point edge at 21–13. The
Saints added a pair of
scores but McManaway
tacked on a kill followed
by a Limestone service
error to put it away. The
Saints forced a fifth set,
using NGU’s worst offen-
sive performance of the
night to earn a fourth set
victory. The Crusaders hit

over the momentum into
the opening points of the
fifth taking a quick 4–2
lead. NGU evened it at four
with the next two points
before an error made it
5–4 in favor of the Saints.
The Saints clinched the
lead tightly until North
Greenville gained control.
The Crusaders capital-
ized on four consecutive
opportunities with a pair
of kills from Jackson Gil-
bert as well as a spike
from Ben Hamsho and
McManaway to take a 9–8
lead. The Crusaders would
take a 13–10 lead late in
the final set but the Saints
tacked on one more point
to inch closer at 13–11.
The momentum would be
short-lived though after
a Kyle Brandt kill made it
14–11. The game ended
on a Hamsho kill that put
North Greenville over the
top.
Jackson Gilbert led the
Crusaders with 15–kills
and a pair of assisted
blocks. McManaway had
14–kills but led all play-
ers in hitting percentage,
swinging at a .522 clip.
He also had three assisted
blocks on defense. Aaron

ly, Dusting King had 13–

Nate Estes added a second
run with another RBI-dou-

the 2nd with three runs

bring in a run a piece.
The Trojans responded
with three runs of their
own in the 3rd including
a home run by Drew Ellis

James Smibert to take a

came back to tie the game
in the 4th with an RBI-sin-

RBI-fielder’s choice by
John Jones.
The game remained tied

the men’s event with a dis-
tance of 6.94–meters.
Richardson claimed the

crossed the line in 21.82.
JJ Sherman claimed the
second spot in the race

WIN-STREAK
North Greenville ex-
tended its win streak to
six games and earned its
second consecutive Con-
ference Carolinas sweep
on Thursday taking a pair
of games from Belmont
Abbey.
A productive ground-
out from Jaelin Griffin in
the first inning produced
the first run of game one
as Haley Gray came home
to score. Gray led off the
game with an infield sin-
gle and advanced to third
on a Brooklyn Stone bunt
single and to third on

over Emmanuel College last week.
a groundout. Kate Lee
tacked on a pair of RBI
with a two-out single, also
in the first inning. Lee’s
base knock scored Celsea
Rivers and Stone to make
it 3–0 in favor of the Cru-
saders. Brooke Wade also
turned in a solid at-bat as
she forced a bases-load-
ed walk that made it 4–0.
NGU starter Amanda
Coffrin would take over
from there, keeping the
northern Crusaders off
the board until late in the
game.
Abbey finished the game
1–5 with runners in scor-
ing position as Coffrin
coaxed six strikeouts.
Abbey stranded one run-
ner in the second frame
and a pair in the fourth
as she worked around a
one-out danger spot. Ab-
bey’s only run of the first
game in the sixth as they
produced a pair of hits
including a leadoff dou-
ble from Brooke Pegram.
Pegram scored a pair of
batters later on Melissa
Neyhouse’s single. Coffrin
allowed no further dam-
age in the sixth and retired
the Crusaders in order in
the seventh to finish off
the game one appearance.
Stone and Griffin led
North Greenville with a
pair of 2 for 4 performanc-
es. Stone finished with a
run scored while Griffin
tacked on an RBI. Kate Lee

was 1 for 3 with a game-
high two runs batted in
while Haley Gray was 1 for
4 and scored once. Coffrin
improved to 14-2 on the
season.  Rivers who was hitless on
Haley Gray was once
again the first run of the
game, this time in the
Thursday finale. Gray led
off the game with a single
and came around to score
on a Kate Lee double.
Jaelin Griffin got the
start on the mound in
game two and kept Bel-
mont Abbey’s hitters off
balance most of the game.
The Crusaders (BAC)
evened the score at 1–1
in the fifth inning, taking
advantage of an NGU er-
ror to lead off the inning.
Morgan Smith would reach
on an errant throw as the
first batter and later come
around to score on a pair
of back-to-back singles.
Griffin thought worked
around any other trouble
as she stranded a pair of
runners to keep the dam-
age at just one run.
Abbey would score the
go-ahead run in the next
frame, once again the
beneficiaries of a pair of
North Greenville field-
ing miscues. The possi-
ble game-winning run
scratched on a second
NGU throwing error as
Anna Mixa came across to
score after reaching on a
single earlier in the inning.
North Greenville had its
chance to even the score
or take the lead in the
home half of the sixth but
left the bases loaded. Kate
Lee led off the inning with
a double and advanced to
third but the other Cru-
saders produced an out
on a North Greenville base
running mistake and then
coaxed consecutive outs
after NGU once again load-
ed the bases to end the
frame.
The Crusaders would
have one more crack at it
in the bottom seventh.
Brooklyn Stone got the
inning started as she was
hit by a pitch to lead off
the inning. Stone would
later reach third base on
a pair of NGU groundouts.
With two outs, the Cru-
saders opted to send Kate
Lee to first base inten-
tionally, putting the win-
ning run on base. A pair
of walks later, Lee found
herself on third base while
Brooklyn Stone scored to
equal the score at 2–2.
Grace DeBoer and Tay-
lor Koon induced consec-
utive free passes to push

the equalizer across. Koon
would get credit for the
RBI.
The game-winner came
from the bat of Celsea
the day (0–4) before her at-
bat in the seventh. Rivers’
bloop single fell between
the right fielder and a pair
of BAC infielders to plate
Kate Lee who was inten-
tionally walked earlier in
the inning to earn NGU the
win.
WOMEN’S LAX
TOPS EMMANUEL
Women’s lacrosse cele-
brated its three seniors on
Friday night with a dou-
ble-digit win over Emman-
uel College.
The Crusaders set the
tone early with a 4–0 lead
led by a pair of goals from
Rachel Kellogg. Taylor
Kennington added a fifth
score but the Lions inched
back and cut NGU’s lead to
two goals with a goal from
Lara Russell with 9:36 left.
North Greenville answered
right back, scoring eight
consecutive goals with no
response from the Lions.
Hanna Hawkins sparked
the rally with back-to-back
scores while Kellogg add-
ed a third and Kenning-
ton scored her second of
the game. Jenny Owens
also scored to help North
Greenville to a 13 – 3 edge.
The two teams would
trade goals as the Lions
tried to keep pace with an
aggressive NGU offense.
Hanna Hernandez made it
13 – 4 with a goal for the
Lions but Jillian Cheisa
responded with a score to
extend NGU’s lead to 10 –
goals. Senior Monica Col-
well would add her second
of the while Jenny Owens
would score her second to
help cap the conference
win.
Kellogg and Hawkins
led the charge for North
Greenville with three goals
each. Kellogg also had
three groundballs and
three caused turnovers.
Jenny Owens was one
of five players to score
twice on Friday night.
It was also Owen’s first
collegiate showing with
multiple scores. Colwell,
Cheisa, Kennington, and
Napoli also scored twice.
Defensively, Cheisa was a
force with a game-high six
caused turnovers and six
groundballs. Sydney Tay-
lor improved to 10 – 4 as
the starter in net. She had
nine saves on the night.

Greenville Drive
unveils 2018 roster
Hoping to defend their
2017 South Atlantic
League Championship,
the Greenville Drive an-
nounced its official roster
ahead of Opening Day last
week.
The roster features two
of Boston’s top five draft
picks from 2017, including
outfielder Cole Brannen, a
second round choice out
of a Georgia high school,
and right-handed pitcher
Alex Scherff, a fifth round
selection from high school
in Texas.
Also highlighting the
roster are eight players
who saw time in Greenville
during last year’s champi-
onship season.  Among
those players is shortstop
C.J. Chatham, a second
round selection by Boston
in 2016, left-handed pitch-
er Jhonathan Diaz, who
was among the Drive’s
most consistent starting
pitchers down the stretch,
right-handed pitcher Juan
Florentino, a key mem-
ber of the Drive bullpen
during the championship
run, and outfielder Jagger
Rusconi, a former fifth
round selection in 2015
who played in 45 games
with the Drive last season.
“We are extremely ex-
cited about the 2018 sea-
son as we look to defend
our South Atlantic League
title, and the release of
our Opening Day roster
puts us one step closer
to another great season
in Downtown Greenville,”
said Drive General Man-
ager, Eric Jarinko.  “The
current Red Sox roster
features so many ter-
rific young players who
blossomed in Greenville
during their minor league
careers, and this year’s
Drive roster features more
exciting young talent who
we hope to see in Boston
for years to come.”
The Drive’s preliminary
roster features 26 play-
ers, and will be narrowed
down to 25 active players
by Opening Day.  nings with seven strike-
The roster includes 10
right-handed pitchers:
Kutter Crawford, Nick
Duron, Devon Fisher, Flo-
rentino, Alberto Franco,
Hunter Haworth, Marcos
Lantigua, Denyi Reyes,
Scherff and Lukas Young;
as well as three left-hand-
ed pitchers in Diaz, Bren-
dan Nail and Angel Pad-
ron.

FROM B1
The Lady Rebels are un-
defeated in region play
with a matchup against
Boiling Springs this week.
“Our goals are the same
as they have been from
the beginning of the sea-
son,” Aiken said. “We want
to win our region and host
the first rounds of play-
offs, and give ourselves
the best opportunity pos-
sible to defend our state
title.
“We still have three big
region games against Boil-
ing Springs, Gaffney and
Dorman before we can
reach our first goal. We
need to make sure we are

weeks of the regular sea-

Florentino posted a 2.12
ERA in 10 appearances
with the Drive last sea-

be etched in Drive history
as the pitcher who logged
the final out of the Drive’s
championship-clinching
win.
Reyes was a New York-
Penn League All-Star in
2017 after posting a 9-0
record with a 1.45 ERA in
15 relief appearances for
the Lowell Spinners.
Scherff passed on a Tex-

es,” Landreth said. “It
just comes down to being
more consistent.  If we can
consistently put the ball in
play and not strike out, we
give ourselves a chance to
get on-base.”
Greer will need to be
more solid defensively if
they hope to secure a play-
off spot.
“Our pitchers will need to
be more consistent throw-
ing strikes,” Landreth
said. “Josh Fenton has
done a great job this year
and gets into a rhythm
on the mound.  When we
have struggled throwing
strikes, it hasn’t allowed
our defense to get into a

Drive’s catchers to begin
the 2018 season.
Lucena played in 53
2017, hitting .251 with
five homers and 21 RBI.
Miranda joined the Drive
roster during the postsea-
son but did not log any
game action.
The Drive infield will
feature Pedro Castellanos,
Chatham, Everlouis Loza-
da, Michael Osinski, Frank-
ie Rios and Kervin Suarez.
Castellanos played in
two regular season games
for the Drive in 2017 and
started all seven postsea-
son games.
Chatham was a second
round choice from Florida
Atlantic in 2016, but he
played in just one game
with the Drive last season
due to a hamstring injury.
Rounding out the Drive’s
roster are four outfielders:
Victor Acosta, Brannen,
Marino Campana and Jag-
ger Rusconi.
Brannen was selected
in the second round by
Boston last summer and
passed up a commitment
to Georgia Southern.  He
played in 42 games in his
pro debut last season.
Rusconi battled injuries
last season in Greenville
that limited him to 45
games, but he delivered a
key RBI single in the cham-
pionship-clinching victory
last season.
Under the guidance of
new Manager Iggy Suarez,
as well as Pitching Coach
Bob Kipper, Hitting Coach
Wilton Veras, and Assis-
tant Coach Bryan Ander-
son, the Drive roster looks
ready for a successful
2018 campaign.
“We have been anxious-
ly awaiting the 2018 sea-
son at Fluor Field, and
year’s roster, as it features
an exciting blend of top
draft picks and returning
talent that will ensure we
see another exciting year
of Drive baseball,” said
Drive Owner and Presi-
dent, Craig Brown.  “We
look forward to welcom-
ing these players into the
Greenville community
and helping them spring
forward in their careers
as they look to reach Bos-
ton and help the Red Sox
compete for World Series
championships.”

Blue Ridge.
“They are well-coached
and have a couple big
wins under their belts,”
Landreth said. “We’ve al-

goal hasn’t changed.”

know us well,” Henson
said. “It will be an exciting
couple of weeks. This time
of the season, these games
usually come down to who
can be consistent defen-
sively in making pitches
execute in key offensive
situations.”
Although the pressure
is on, the team goals have
not changed.
“Our goal is simply to
improve every day,” Hen-

Greer Mayor honors mother with garden, designation
BY KAELYN CASHMAN
STAFF WRITER
A recent landscaping
project brought back fond
memories for Greer Mayor
Rick Danner.
Danner has been work-
ing in his back yard for
the past couple of years,
eventually installing a
large flower garden that
attracted butterflies and
hummingbirds.
“My mother loved but-
terflies. They’re are spe-
cial to my family,” Danner
said.
His mother, Sarah,
passed away from cancer
more than 30 years ago.
“One of her lasting leg-
acies in our family was
her love of butterflies,”
Danner said. “She and my
dad had a mountain home
outside of Hendersonville,
and when the butterflies
would migrate, they would
ride the wind currents up

Greer is the first city
from South Carolina to

to the Monarch City USA
Facebook page.
Monarch City USA, a
non-profit corporation un-

partment of Revenue, was
created in 2015 in Maple
Valley, Washington.
“We strongly encourage
America’s 19,000+ munici-

ulation recover through
planting milkweed and
nectar plants within their
borders,” according to

NGU to grow programs at Tim Brashier campus in Greer
BY KAELYN CASHMAN
STAFF WRITER
North Greenville Uni-
versity will grow its Greer
campus from 400 to 800
students in the next five
years through the addition
of several programs.
Dr. Gene Fant, the uni-
versity’s eighth president,
updated local business
owners of the campus’
progress during the Busi-
ness and Breakfast event
as part of NGU’s celebra-
tion of 125 years.
“Last fall, between online
and graduate programs
and doctorate programs
and the PA (Physicians As-
sistant) program, we were
at about 430 students at
this campus,” Fant said.
“This campus is already
larger than the university
was 25 years ago,” he said.
Fant’s vision for Tiger-
ville is to remain a tradi-
tional campus with under-
graduate students while
his vision for Greer is to
grow as the entrepreneur-
ial part of the university.
“What we’re looking at
in Tigerville is for it to
remain a very traditional,
residential campus,” Fant
said. “We have everything
there from baseball, foot-
ball, you name it, and have
really phenomenal facili-
ties up there.”
“But what happens in a
lot of places is that they’ll
take the traditional pro-
grams and try to convert
them into an entrepre-
neurial context, and it
doesn’t work because
there’s just something a
little overly hidebound or
traditional,” he said.
Fant is working to main-
tain the Tigerville campus
and to grow the Greer
campus.
“We actually are going to
primarily focus on growth

to become supporters
of the monarch butter-
fly by planting new mon-
arch milkweed and nectar
plants throughout their
areas. Of course, we want
to promote as many new
sites as possible in as
short of time as possible.”
For this new program,
city staff will be meet-
ing to discuss how to in-
corporate this initiative
throughout the city.
“We are very excited that
the City of Greer is a part
of such a worthy cause,”
said Parks and Recreation
Director Ann Cunning-
ham.
“We believe our parks
are the perfect place to
here in Greer, not in Ti-
gerville,” Fant said. “Ti-
gerville, we’re hoping to
keep that at about 2,000
students undergrad.”
“In Greer, however, we
really believe that we
could be at about 800 stu-
dents in about five years
because of the kinds of
programs that we’re devel-
oping and opportunities
that we’re developing,”
he continued. “We’re very
pumped about that.”
Fant is a member of the
Board of Directors at Im-
pact 360 Institute, which
is a part of the Chick-fil-A
Foundation, and a mem-
ber of the Cathy family is
planning to attend Fant’s
inauguration on Friday,
April 13. On March 3, Fant
attended a strategy meet-
ing.
“One of the things they
have on the wall is that
there is a war for talent,”
Fant said. “Chick-fil-A
talked about that all the
time, about how critical
it is to identify sources of
talent and then find ways
to attract that talent, re-
tain that talent and contin-
ue to help them to move
forward.”
“That’s one of the things
we’re really trying to do
here at Greer,” he contin-
ued. “This is our campus
that’s not just entrepre-
neurial; it’s about applied
learning. It’s about prepar-
ing people, many of whom
already have jobs, but
preparing them for what’s
coming up next.”
In the next few years,
North Greenville Universi-
ty is going to be hiring and
instituting new programs,
including evening bac-
calaureate programs for
working adults.
“I think we’re going to
have some real opportu-
nities to do some things,”
The Greer Citizen
plant milkweed and nec-
tar plants,” she continued.
“Not only will they help
the monarch butterfly
population recover, but
we can help educate the
public on the value of re-
populating the Monarch
butterfly as well as enjoy
the beauty of these plants
and butterflies.”
Danner began his back
yard re-landscaping when
his wife retired.
“We decided to make
some changes to extend
our ‘outdoor living space,’”
Danner said. “We wanted a
space that we could use
for my vegetable garden,
for entertaining and just
relaxing.”
Fant said.
Fant was on the educa-
tional development com-
mittee for Palm Beach
County, Florida, economic
development district, and
worked with the chamber
there doing educational
preparation as they were
making pitches to busi-
nesses.
“A campus like this
should be a partner in eco-
nomic development and
community development,”
Fant said, addressing the
new Greer chamber pres-
ident Dr. Marjorie Dowd.
“I’m really big on educa-
tional development as well
and working and engaging
with the various kinds of
schools in the area, wheth-
er they’re public or pri-
vate or alternative or even
home schoolers.”
“My family did a little
of all of it,” he continued.
“The kids graduated go-
ing to public high school,
but they went to a private
elementary school for a
while, and then we home
schooled for a while. Then,
they did online for a while
as well. I see benefits and
opportunities in all those
things. We look forward
to seeing how we can part-
ner with all the different
groups here and the com-
munity.”
North Greenville is plan-
ning to send two to three
more employees to the
Greer campus by the fall.
“We’re really gearing up
for what we think is going
to be a significant growth
period here,” Fant said.
“We’re excited about these
folks coming and plugging
in to the community here.”
“We’re just looking for-
ward to seeing how we
can serve you, how we can
work alongside you, how
we can encourage you,” he
continued.

The project is an ongo-
ing, evolving development.
“I designed and installed
it myself, so it has been
a labor of love,” Danner
said. “Having spent over
20 years as a landscape
designer and landscape
company owner, the back-
yard reflects many of the
ideas and design elements
I have admired or wanted
to try through the years.”
“It is still in its infancy,
and I continue to tweak it,
but it is beginning to come
into its own,” he contin-
ued.
Last summer was the
first summer some of his
perennials had started
blooming.
In a recent conversation
with a retired executive,
Fant discussed today’s
workforce.
“One of the problems
that we have in our soci-
ety now is that we have
a lot of people that don’t
understand that work is a
blessing,” Fant said.
“If you are a job creator
or a manager, and you’re
able to give people a good
job and treat them with
dignity, then you are be-
ing a blessing generator,”
he continued. “I think our
campus could help in this
community to really be a
blessing generator as we
are really trying to find
ways to develop.”
Chamber plans partner-
ship
Dowd also shared some
ideas about how the Great-
er Greer Chamber of Com-
merce could partner with
North Greenville Univer-
sity.
“We know that an edu-
cated workforce is an eco-
nomic boom to our area,”
Dowd said. “That does
help drive economic pros-
perity.”
“If you are bettering
yourself, you’re bettering
your life and bettering the
community, so we are re-
ally excited about future
partnerships with North
Greenville,” she contin-
ued. “What we’re trying to
do is determine the train-
ing and certification needs
of our companies that we
are involved with. I’m con-
fident there are meaning-
ful ways to connect higher
education and the work-
force demands that are in
Greer. We just need to get
that started.”
Some ways Dowd men-
tioned to help set up
Greer’s workforce includ-
ed: promoting NGU’s on-
line programs for degree
“I noticed that the but-
terflies and humming-
birds were starting to
come,” Danner said. “Sure
enough, by the end of the
summer, the perennial
garden was a haven for
both.”
“I am hoping this year
with an extra year of
growth and a number of
new plants, I will have
even more bees, butter-
flies and hummingbirds,”
he continued. “To tell you
the truth, I never had any
intention of trying to take
the designation citywide;
I just did it in memory of
my mom. Nevertheless, if
we decide to embrace the
designation, I hope it will
inspire others.”

The garden has helped the City of Greer become a
Monarch City, the first in SC.
The influx of butterflies reminded Mayor Danner of his
mother, who passed away from cancer more than 30 years
ago, so he recently joined Monarch City USA in honor of
her.
completion, highlighting
jobs that are in demand
and collaborating with
NGU to provide pathways
to those jobs.
“Through our collabora-
tive network, we can de-
fine the data points that
determine our commu-
nity’s workforce trends,”
Dowd said.
As examples of data
points, Dowd shared some
statistics.
“Every year, our retail
sales go up 12 percent,”
Dowd said. “The average
national percentage is 3,
maybe 4….Greer consum-
ers are spending more.”
“Median age in Greer is
36 years old,” she contin-
ued, and “18 percent in
Greer have some college
but no degree.”
In addition, 58 percent
are white collar workers,
such as managers, bank-
ers and salespeople.
“Those are huge statis-
tics and data points that
we as a chamber can work
with North Greenville to
make that match,” Dowd
said.
“The Greer chamber
serves as the voice of busi-
ness for over 700 organi-
zations,” she continued.
“We strive to provide that
leadership that facilitates
the creation of prosperous
regional economy and that
certainly includes an ed-
ucated workforce. We are
proud to call North Green-
ville University a partner
and a friend.”
NGU alumnus Lamont
Sullivan, President and
CEO of Big Brothers Big
Sisters of the Upstate,
shared his journey at the
event.
“When I came to North
Greenville in 1994, it was
North Greenville College
at the time,” Sullivan said.
“The first semester that I
PHOTO | SUBMITTED
PHOTO | SUBMITTED
was here, I was the second
person in my family to at-
tend college and later be-
came the first generation
college graduate.
“My initial reason for
coming to North Green-
ville was for one reason
and one reason only,” he
said. “I was to come to
North Greenville for a year
to beef up, to get stronger,
to get better, to get faster
and leave North Greenville
to go play big time col-
lege football. That was my
whole reason for coming
to North Greenville Uni-
versity.…God had a bigger
plan for me when I came
to North Greenville Uni-
versity.”
During his tenure at
NGU, Lamont was a stu-
dent athlete, one of the
first five campus minis-
try interns, and president
of the Black Student Fel-
lowship. Later, he became
Vice President of the Bap-
tist Student Union.
“North Greenville’s try-
ing to prepare students
to help you as a banker
to grow your baking in-
dustry to win as many as
possible, you as a realtor
to sell as many homes as
possible, you as an edu-
cator to educate as many
students as possible, you
as whatever profession-
al industry you’re in to
help your business grow
to be the best that it can
be by any means possi-
ble,” he said, “so when
you’re thinking about stu-
dents, when you’re think-
ing about expanding your
workforce, when you’re
thinking about partnering
with someone that has
those same values, that
same method, that same
passion in mind, think of
North Greenville.”

Thread’
COUCH THEATER  
BY AMY ANDERSON
NEW RELEASES
FOR THE WEEK OF APRIL 9
PICKS OF THE WEEK
“The Greatest Show-
man” (PG) -- Witness
the rise and drive be-
hind America’s original
sanguine starmaker, P.T.
Barnum (Hugh Jackman).
His story runs from his
roots in poverty, through
a series of failed business
opportunities, to his all-in
gamble collecting what
were the dregs of society,
and duding them up to be
displayed as jeweled rari-
ties ... and it does so with
original music and dance
numbers! Jackman plays
Barnum as relentlessly
positive and captivating,
and Michelle Williams is
a real sweetheart as Bar-
num’s wife Charity. The
music alone is wonderful:
You can feel the confi-
dence blooming in “This
Is Me,” and the butterflies
in your stomach during
“Rewrite the Stars,” the
rope-swinging love song
between Philip Carlyle
(Zac Efron) and Anne
Wheeler (Zendaya).
“My Friend Dahmer”
(R) -- This dark little film
is a portrait of a young
Jeffrey Dahmer told from
the perspective of his
real-life high-school pal
Derf (Alex Wolff). Ordered
by his clueless dad (Dallas
Roberts) to “get some
friends,” Dahmer takes up
with a small cadre of kids
who form a Dahmer fan
club, inserting Dahmer
into a variety of pranks
and hijinks. But alone,
he’s a young man on the
fringe -- weird, fixated on
a local jogger, vulnerable
and detached. He slow-
ly mutates into a killer,
as his unhinged mother
(Anne Heche) battles
mental illness. If you are
a fan of Ross Lynch from
his “Austin and Ally” days
on Disney, be prepared
for a sudden, disturbing
turnabout.
“The Phantom Thread”
(R) -- Set in the high-fash-
ion world of London in
the early 1950s, Reyn-
olds Woodcock (Daniel
Day-Lewis) rules as a
couturier to the elite. His
fashion house is managed
by his sister Cyril (Lesley
Manville). He is highly
organized, strictly con-
trolled by routine and a
confirmed bachelor. While
delivering a piece to a
client of great esteem, he
is captivated by a waitress
in a countryside restau-
rant. He woos Alma (Vicky
Krieps), and she becomes
his lover, muse, and
ultimately, wife, but not
before their tormented
wills unfurl and collide:
Stitched together in one
place, the seams are
ripped apart in another.
The film, which received
six Oscar nominations, is
another rousing success
for director Paul Thomas
Anderson.
“Braven” (R) -- “Big and
beautiful” describes both
the mountain scenery in
this standard but well-do-
ne action feast and its
star, Jason Momoa. He
plays gentle giant Joe
Braven -- father, husband
and logging-company
owner. He heads up to
his cabin in the woods
with his good old dad to
button it up for the sea-
son, when lo and behold,
they come across a giant
bag of cocaine, which was
stashed in the cabin by
some drug traffickers.
While there’s only one
gun and a bow and arrows
in the cabin, you get the
idea that Mr. Braven is
skilled in the art of de-
fense -- and you won’t be
disappointed to see how.
Garret Dillahunt does a
wonderful turn as the vil-
lainous bad guy Kassen.

“As students and art-
ists, we have encountered
many situations in which
we have had to fail in or-
der to succeed. The colle-
giate experience—facing
the pressures of academ-
ics, social lives, and try-

voices—has resulted in
what we like to refer to as
'disappointing episodes'—
that is, moments where we

How low is too-low
blood pressure?
DEAR DR. ROACH: You
have written many articles
about high blood pres-
sure, but I want to know
about low blood pressure.
What is normal? What is
low, and what is danger-
ously low? I have a heart
issue for which I take med-
ication. I want to know if
my blood pressure is too
low. -- Anon.
ANSWER: Among young
adults, only 5 percent of
men will have a blood
pressure below 110/60 or
so, and for young women,
it’s 90/46. Blood pressure
tends to go up with age, so
low blood pressure num-
bers are higher for older
adults.
For people with healthy
hearts, the only time we
worry about low blood
pressure is if there are
symptoms, and the most
common symptoms are
lightheadedness and faint-
ing.
In people with conges-
tive heart failure, low
blood pressure usually is
not concerning in itself,
but because it might in-
dicate that the heart is
getting weaker. However,
many of the medications
used for CHF reduce blood
pressure, which can even
limit the amount of med-
ication that can be used.
In people with blockages
in their arteries, too low a
blood pressure can cause
inadequate blood flow
to parts of the heart and
cause angina symptoms.
The blood pressure is
dangerously low when a

DEAR DR. ROACH: I
would like to know about
warts. I know they are
common in both children
and adults. I have one on
my thumb. I am 50 years
old. Where can the warts
spread to? I heard you can
find them only on your
hands and feet. Is that
true? -- J.S.
ANSWER: Warts are
raised round or oval
growths, caused by the
human papilloma virus.
Although they most com-
monly occur on the hands
and feet, some strains of
HPV are more likely to
cause warts in the genital
region. Warts can appear
on any part of your body,
and you can spread them
from one part of your
body to another, as well
as from person to person.
Warts are more likely to
occur in areas of skin that

are irritated, such as cuts,
scrapes and even areas
that are shaved. For this
reason, it’s a good idea
to treat the wart quickly,
preferably before it gets
bigger and harder to treat.
Over-the-counter wart
treatments are most com-
monly salicylic acid. A nail
file or pumice stone to get
rid of dead skin first in-
creases effectiveness. Liq-
uid medicine is used for
thinner warts, and a plas-
ter is more effective for
thicker warts.
One home remedy is as
follows: Apply silver duct
tape to the wart and leave
it on for six days. Follow
up by soaking the wart
and removing any dead
skin, then leave the tape
off overnight. Repeat the
process by applying duct
tape for another six days.
This is effective in some
people. You should see
your doctor if these home
remedies don’t work.
