We landed on this one and
it is something that is very

IM JUST

behind, asking, Sir? Sir?
Those two pig ears lay forlornly in the
front field for all of about 5 minutes
before both being discovered by Bonnie,
who carrying the first one, gave a threatening snarl to Rosie who approached
the second. Off Bonnie trotted into the
woods to bury her treasure somewhere, I
suppose, relatively near the mummified
squirrel haunch (including hairless tail)
and chipmunk she tends to bestow upon
our front step every couple of months
or so.
Rosie, peering as best she could with
her one eye, for once in her life gave in
to disobedience and after delicately picking up the second ear, absconded with
it in the opposite direction- the manure
pile.
Within minutes, Bonnie reemerged
from the woods, brown nose telling the
tale of covering her respective ear with
dirt, spread out evenly by her snout. Following her tracks and heeling the scent
of the other ear, she seemed puzzled
that it wasnt where she had left it in
the field, and a half hour later, appeared
both victorious and smug, having dug it
out of the manure pile.
Rosies eye looked nothing short of
bewildered.
But there is a reason that terriers
are considered tenacious. The following morning as I was cleaning stalls, I
witnessed Rosie quietly leaving Bonnies
side to duck around the back of the barn
and head into the woods. Sure enough, it
wasnt much later that I caught sight of
her carrying the wretched ear far across
the field and into the tree
line on the opposite side. And three
quarters of an hour later Bonnie was
working the scent back across the field,
into the same tree line, before reappearing with the ear.
Its like the Stone of Scone, I relayed
back to Paul that evening, describing the
ancient fight over that Scottish coronation block of sandstone, But whats so
funny is that neither one knows that
the other is physically stealing their ear.
They just keep finding where the other

important thing to teach
your kids. Once theyve
created some money by
working, then you want
to use those moments to
teach them to save, spend
and give wisely.
You can do this around
the subject of grades if
you want. Theres probably a valid case to be
made that getting an A
takes a lot more work
than getting a C. Youre
certainly not obligated
to pay them for work or
grades, but if you dont
do some of this and
teach them the proper
ways to handle the money
they earn youll miss

Reidville rescue
A Reidville firefighter discards a door cut from a wrecked vehicle on I-85 last week. A
woman driving a white Mini Cooper smashed into the median near the 101 Exit and
was trapped in the car for about 30 minutes. Police, EMS and firefighters closed off the
interstate and sawed off the top of the car to remove her from the vehicle. She was then
transported by ambulance to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

int no sunshine in
South Carolina as
Legislatures continue
picking apart and weakening the Sunshine Law,
further limiting residents
access to information on
matters that directly effect them.
Over the past year, laws
limiting the publics access to information have
been passed, in addition
to laws already in place
being reinterpreted by
state officials in a manner that removes rights to
information once considered protected by the
Sunshine Law.
The Sunshine Law, also
known as the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA),
is intended to secure the
publics rights to access
and obtain copies of records from public bodies,
including commissions,
councils and boards at the
local and state levels, pertaining to zoning changes,
fund allocations, appointments to boards and commissions, budgets, books,
maps, photographs, tapes,
recordings and emails
that pertain to public
bodies.
The South Carolinas
Freedom of Information
Act, Title 30, Chapter
4, states, The General
Assembly finds that it is
vital in a democratic society that public business
be performed in an open
and public manner so that
citizens shall be advised
of the performance of
public officials and of the
decisions that are reached
in public activity and in
the formulation of public
policy.
Despite this, recently
the House passed bill
3191 sponsored by state
Representative Weston
Newton, giving public
agencies the power to
take legal action against
individuals that file burdensome, overly broad
or improper requests if
the bill is enacted.
This bill clouds trans-
op-ed
Amanda
Irwin
parency because it leaves
FOIA requesters caught
between a catch-22 how
do you request information about matters you
are aware exist, but from
documents of which
youre unaware? The
bill limits individuals to
only requesting information they know specifics
about. It isnt uncommon
for FOIA requests filed to
be broad because requesters may not always know
which specific documents
contain the sought information, but now requesters risk legal action
against them.
Furthermore, the bills
vague language gives
public bodies the power
to interpret what constitutes as burdensome,
overbroad and improper requests themselves
because the terms are not
further defined which
is on par with the vague
wording that has recently
lead to reinterpretations
of the FOIA eliminating some of the publics
rights. In addition,
should legal action be
taken, timely information
requested could be withheld until a resolution is
reached, further obstructing transparency.
But this bill isnt the
first to revoke power
from the FOIA. Prior to
bill 3191, the S.C. Supreme Court ruled that
public bodies do not have
to publish agendas for
regularly scheduled meetings. The ruling resulted
from a reinterpretation
of the FOIA in Lambries
versus Saluda County
Council, in which Dennis Lambries filed action
against Saluda County
Council alleging its mem-

Baseball is back

Sports Editor
Spring is here, and for
more than 400 local children, that means baseball
is back.
Greer Parks and Recreation celebrated Opening
Day for its Greer Baseball Classic 13 and under

highlighted by a sunny
forecast, featured a home
run derby, a base running
competition, a parade
of teams and plenty of
games.
It was fantastic, Greer

Greer made its way up
the state rankings recently, cracking the top 10.
The highest weve been
so far this season is ninth,
but with the loss to Eastside, we dropped back
down to 14, Santos said.
We won nine games last
year, so our goal this season has been just to try
to win 10. The guys that
we have on the team have
played for me for a while,
so they know what to expect and the formation
we try to run. It has really
clicked with them this season.
Santos attributes the
turnaround to a solid commitment from players,
who have been working
hard in the offseason.

who was abused growing

leaving the Mother struggling to hold together her

be viewed as a symbol of
hope for change, struggles with the realization
that the life shes always

WELLFORD PARTICIPATES
IN PACER CHALLENGE
The Riverside High softball team is collecting gently used shoes through
the month of March to
help support micro enterprise programs around
the world. The shoes are
repaired and given to local
businesses to be distributed to those without shoes
or sold in their stores.
This enables them to form
an income so they can pay
for housing, food, educational expenses, and other
necessities.
The team hopes to fill
100 bags with 25 pairs of
shoes each, representing
just over one pair of shoes
for each student at Riverside High.
Donations can be delivered to the main office every Friday during March.

Academy laced up their
running shoes recently
and put their skills to the
test for the Pacer Challenge.
Students trained for
weeks for the special contest in PE that allowed

skills, and encouraged
them to push themselves
to achieve more.
First place ribbons were
given to one girl and boy
winner from each class. In
addition, overall grade level winners were awarded
scholarships to participate
in D5 youth cross country
in the fall 2015 season,

DEAR DR. ROACH: I injured my little finger in an
athletic event. The end of
my pinky pointed in toward the ring finger. It is
black and blue, and swollen. Do you think I fractured it? Should I get an Xray? I am still able to curl
my finger. -- A.J.
ANSWER: Its most likely
that you damaged one of
the tendons in the finger.
Sometimes a fracture can
happen at the same time.
