Watching Inherent
Vice (set in 1970) several
weeks ago, it struck me
yet again how cool and
beautiful cars used to be.
And driving home from
the theatre reminded me
yet again just how ugly
they are now.
While its true that we
idealize the past, Ive
discovered throughout
my life that those who
came of age between the
Eisenhower and Carter
administrations had the
most fun and pride driving their cars.
Of course, back then
America was practically
self-sufficient, and most
of the gems were built in
a Michigan factory.
I wish I had a dollar for
every time some old-timer
told me about the muscle
car he drove, raced, built
or wrecked back in the
60s and 70s. Back then,
cars were made to be fast
and pretty, not practical
and safe. The steering
wheels were as big as tires
and as hard as a Louisville
Sluggers. The seatbelts
went only around the
waist and the closest you
got to an airbag was that
chick you took to the
drive-in.
But man, did the looks
make up for it. Today,
your color choices for a
new car are scant, but

Saltines.
back then you could
get about anything you
wanted. In 1969, Ford offered its Falcon, Fairlane
and Mustang models in
two-dozen colors with
wacky names to match.
There was Gulfstream
Aqua, Anti-Establish Mint,
Thanks Vermillion, and
Calypso Coral to name a
few.
And then, of course, you
had the killer two-tone
paint schemes that could
make even a big family
car look like a work of art.
I dont know if drivers
have become boring or
the car companies have,
but the color offerings
As part of our larger series of highly focused ethics legislation, this past
week, the House passed
more important reform
bills. One strengthens
campaign finance reporting laws while another
clarifies how campaign
funds should be attributed to primaries and primary run-off campaigns.
A House judiciary
panel advanced several
more pieces of sunshine
legislation, aimed at
increasing government
transparency for citizens
and the news media in
obtaining public records.
Most government entities
(cities, counties, school
boards, state agencies,
etc.) perform admirably
at meeting FOIA requests.

However, some do not.
These provisions are
aimed at ending governmental abuses where
they exist by requiring
all government entities
to respond more quickly
to requests, barring them
from charging excessive
fees and creating a way
to settle disputes quickly

Wheres
the safety
factor?
Q: Im retired, and currently I have about five
percent of my retirement
savings in gold and silver
Ive been acquiring over
the last few years. Ive
seen gold prices decline
significantly, and Im wondering if I should hang
on to it as a safety factor
in the event the economy
goes bad in a hurry. I
want to make sure Ill still
have a safety factor, and
something of value, if that
happens.
DR: Whats the safety
factor here? And if
everything goes downhill, why does it have
value? Gold has this weird
allure and mythology
around it that says, Ive
still got something that
people will take when the
economy crashes. But the
truth is there hasnt been
an instance when people
used gold as a medium of
exchange in a crashed or
failed economy since the
Roman Empire.
People still use gold
because they believe in it.
We also believe in green
paper with presidents
faces on it. So, gold really has no more intrinsic
value than that green
paper. The only reason
we place value on it is
because we, the society,
place value on it. A failed
society might not place
value on it anymore.
In a completely failed
economy, the first step
is usually a takeover by
a Fascist government.
After that, you get a new
color of money of paper
with a new leaders face
on it. Then, the old stuff
isnt worth anything. Its
very seldom you ever see
gold come to the rescue.
I dont believe in investing in gold for that reason. Plus, the track record
on gold, as far as a rate
of return, is horrible over
the long haul. There was a
time a few years ago when
everyone went crazy on it,
but other than that? Ugh!
On the road
again?
Q: Weve got our emergency fund in place, and
were debt-free except
for our home. Wed like
to have a child soon, but
my job requires frequent
travel. I dont want to be
away most of the time
when theres a baby in
the house, so Im thinking
about opening my own
business. That way, I can
set my own hours. What
do you think of this idea?

The Partnership for Tomorrow, made up currently of 55 contributors, focuses efforts on economic
development, the community master plan (outlining
a direction for Greer over
the next 15 years), quality

These particular funds
are earmarked for economic development, Danner

these funds are going to
flow directly into the GDC.
Our commitment to the
partnership has been built
around a commitment to
economic development, to
the GDC and to the efforts

broader community. How
theyre spent in that realm
is dictated by the GDC, for
the most part.

Administrator Ed Driggers
said there has been plenty
of participation in the design process.
Theres been a concerted effort to make sure
input was solicited, so
that, as we look at the next
15 years, the consulting
group wasnt going down
a path that may have been
contrary to what local leadership was envisioning,
Driggers said. Things that
maybe weve expected or
have been moving toward,
weve been able to confirm
with the data. Theres also
been some new ideas introduced through public
input and I think thats
helped greatly.
The plan will likely focus
on key corridor development around Wade Hampton Boulevard, Interstate
85 and Highway 14.
Were starting to understand that our community
is much more than our
central business district,
which is vitally important to us, Driggers said.
Were concentrating on
that district, but were also
looking at the areas that
will have a major impact
on us over the next 15 or
20 years.

had a great time at our Lyman Fest, so were excited
to be able to do this. We
want this to be the first

Greers reigning Iron
Jacket will test his skills
on college gridiron next
fall, committing to play
football for Lenoir-Rhyne
University on National
Signing Day.
This is what I worked
all four years for in high
schoolto get to this moment right here, Henderson said. I didnt think
it was going to be LenoirRhyne. I didnt know what
Lenoir-Rhyne was my
freshman year. Now I know
and I really like it. I think
my official visit helped a
lot because now Im really
comfortable there.
Henderson, who will be
walking into an already
successful program, registered 89 knockdowns during his senior campaign,
leading an offense that
averaged 39 points per
contest.
Its a really good football team, he said of the
Bears. Theyve got a really good program. I think
theyve won their conference five years in a row
and have gone to national
championships. Its a great
football team.
Henderson has seen his
game develop at Greer,
gaining more than 70
pounds since his freshman season.
Cole Henderson
I think I weighed 190
coming in as a freshman, he said. I ended up
around 265, so Ive gotten
a lot stronger, faster and
better. Thats one of the
most important things.
You have to get stronger to
compete. High school and
college are two completely
different levels. Everyone
is a lot bigger in college, so
Im going to have to keep
working hard.
Henderson signed his
letter of intent about an
hour after Blue Ridge rival
Tay Jenkins committed to
the same school. Now, it
will be the offensive linemans job to protect the
versatile running back.
Hopefully, hell be my
roommate,
Henderson
said. Were pretty good
friends, but when Greer
and Blue Ridge play each
other, were going to be at
it a little bit.

all the self discipline and

you learn there.
High school has provided Koger with an opportunity to hone her skills,
making the transition to
college a little bit easier.
Lady Crusaders
top Mount Olive
The North Greenville
womens basketball team
extended
its
winning
streak to three games on
Saturday afternoon, topping Mount Olive 66-62.
Mount Olive trailed 6257 with 90 seconds to go
when Rachel Fehl made
it a one-possession game
with a left-handed lay-up
on the left baseline. After
the two teams exchanged
turnovers,
Tommarah
Harris drove the lane and
drew a foul, converting the
three-point play to tie the
game 62-62 with 24 seconds on the game clock.
North Greenville regained the lead on its next
possession as the Crusaders beat the Trojan press
for a two-on-one break.
Emily Wampler found Timisty Nelson for a quick
score with 13 seconds left
to play.
After nearly turning
the ball over in front of
the Mount Olive bench,
the Trojans called timeout with 3.4 seconds left.
Mount Olive tried to inbound the ball, but Nelson
tipped the ball and saved
it inbounds for the steal.
Wampler iced the game
with a pair of free throws
with 0.6 seconds left.
Mount Olive overcame a
six-point halftime deficit
with an 8-0 run to start
the second half, highlighted by Harris 40-footer as
the shot clock expired,
giving the Trojans their
first lead of the game at
34-32 with 16:44 left in
the contest. Mount Olive
had a chance to extend
its lead with a breakaway
score, but Nelson blocked
the shot from behind. Alisha Hope finished the play
with a jumper to tie the
game and trigger an 11-0
North Greenville run. Erika

Sports Editor
For Blue Ridge senior
Abby Koger, college is going to be about more than
just life on the soccer
field.
Koger, who will graduate early from high school,
hopes to use her education at The Citadel to begin a career in the U.S. Air
Force.
I really like the idea of
service, she said. Serving
your country, I think, is
really honorable, so I decided that was something
I wanted to do.
Koger signed a National
Letter of Intent to play
soccer for the Bulldogs
last week.
It was really the military
atmosphere that made me
want to go, she said. Ive
always liked ROTC and
the structure and the discipline. I really loved the
coaches and the girls on
the team. The school is a
Crusader
Corner
remaining matched the
Crusaders biggest lead at
43-34.
The Trojans chipped
away at the lead and
Wallaces 15-foot jumper
with 6:52 remaining tied
the game 50-50. After the
two teams traded baskets,
Niya Styles hit a threepointer to put Mount Olive
back on top 55-54 with
5:24 left to play. Nelson
answered with a lay-up
for North Greenville to
ignite an 8-2 run and give
the Crusaders a five-point
lead.
In the first half, North
Greenville used threepointers by Carter and
Hope to jump out to a 6-2
lead as the Crusaders led
for the entire half. The
margin grew to as many
as nine points before offensive rebounds by Kiara Jones and Anamaria
Zjacic led to a Ty Wallace
10-footer and triggered a
Mount Olive rally.
After Gabby Griffin
drove the length of the
court for a layup and Rachel Fehl connected on
a three-pointer, Tommarah Harris hit a runner in
the lane with 48 seconds
left to bring the Trojans
within 28-26. North Greenville scored the final four
points of the half.
Wallace pulled down 10
rebounds to finish with a
double-double for Mount
Olive, while Zjacic led all
players with 12 boards.
The Trojans out-rebounded the Crusdaers 49-38.
Shylia Buie shared gamehigh honors with seven
assists.

ship between Downey and
Farmiga is more distracting than anything else.
But minor flaws notwithstanding, The Judge
stays compelling and unpredictable the whole way
through. The scenes between Duvall and Downey
are electric and occasionally heartbreaking, while
Billy Bob Thornton adds
some flavor as the state
prosecutor.
Ultimately, Dobkins
film provides an honest, illuminating look at
strained family relationships and how they define
us. The murder mystery
at the films heart keeps
the story moving, creating a tension that further
reveals the inner workings of the two primary
characters.

have been effective, even
if done promptly.
At least one study of needle acupuncture showed
that it is as effective as a
cortisone injection. This
study excluded people
who already had fixed
numbness in the fingers,
who are less likely to be
helped by any treatment.
I have not found any evidence that laser treatment
is effective.
My advice is to first be
sure of the diagnosis. An
EMG test is a study of
nerve function, which can
confirm the diagnosis and
may be able to predict
how much damage there
is and provide guidance
on treatment. If damage is
not too severe, other treatments -- such as splinting,
medication, yoga or ultrasound -- may be helpful.
If advanced, surgery done
quickly still may be your
best bet.

DEAR DR. ROACH:
There has been much reporting of the effect of
not getting enough sun
during the winter months.
In your professional opinion, can some people get
depressed from too much
summer?
