The importance
of research
To the editor,
I write to thank you for
helping make the public aware of persons who
were possibly buried at
the ONeal property, so
descendants can join to
restore and maintain that
property.
I was especially interested in Billy Cannadas
piece, published Aug. 26
and his phrase according
to records, used in reference to a Col. John Thomas. As a researcher, I was
curious. So, as a member
of the Daughters of the
American Revoltion and
corresponding secretary
of the Joyce Scott Chapter
in Greer, I asked our Chapter Registrar, Charlotte
Koehler, to see if anyone
had ever joined on his service record.
To our great surprise,
we learned that forty-two
applicants did become
members of the DAR on

PAM STONE
cars, just as they pass us and then run in
the woods, because who could possibly
catch a bunch of kids in hundreds of
acres of which we knew every trail, every
nook and cranny?
Naturally, we all thought this was a
tremendous idea although I was roundly
told to Shut up, Stone, when I warned
I had seen on the news that Pintos were
blowing up all over the place and if a
Pinto drove past, we should probably let
it go.
As planned, we lay low in the culvert
on either side of the road (although
surely a pair of dice could be seen jutting out) and Chuck lit his first firecracker from the tip of his Marlboro, and
threw it, like a hand grenade, from the
ditch just as the first car drove over it
and was well down the street before it
finally went off.
The red brake lights, the only illumination in the dark, lit up our astonished
faces as the car screeched to a stop and
a man leapt out of the drivers seat,
screaming obscenities, and chased us
down the street with pre middle-age
speed, as one by one, like deer, we
plunged into the woods, hurtled down
an endless hill, Jennifers costume torn
away by branches and briars, revealing a
black leotard and Jennifers surprisingly
developing bust, but my own, bright
white poster board cube held me captive
and I knew, I just knew, as everyone
else was far ahead, I would be grabbed,
like Scout, trapped in that giant papiermch ham in To Kill a Mockingbird,
and killed, or worse, turned over to my
father. It takes great stamina to be a delinquent, and this I didnt have as, arms
stretched out to the side as I ran, I could
neither shield my face from low hanging
limbs or break my fall each time, which
was often, when I tripped over a root or
rock and was sent crashing to the damp
forest floor.
What was I thinking? What was I
thinking?!! I thought as my arm was
nearly dislocated by a small sapling

Pursue
nursing
another way
Q: Im 45 years old and
a single mom. I have a decent job, but I want to go
back to school to become
a nurse. The money would
be much better than what
I make now, but Id have
to take out student loans
to make this happen. Is it
worth the risk?
DR: Is nursing a field
worth pursuing, especially
when it is something you
love and would increase
your income significantly?
Save as much as
you possibly can
first even if its
just a little each
month.
You bet! Nursing is a very
honorable profession. Am
I going to tell you to take
out loans to make it happen? Absolutely not!
Save as much as you
possibly can first even
if its just a little each
month. Then, I want you
to look into Pell Grants,
traditional and non-traditional scholarships and
what I call the indentured servitude program.
Theres still something
of a nurse shortage in
this country, and there
are hospitals and drug
companies that will agree
to pay your school bills if
you go to work for them
afterwards for a specific
number of years.
Im proud of you.
Gaining knowledge and
improving yourself and
your career prospects are
all good things. But stay
away from student loan
debt. Its unnecessary.

Though
economic
growth has slowed in our
country, Clemson economist Dr. Bruce Yandle
says the Upstate continues to flourish. The beloved Clemson University
economist was once again
the featured speaker at
Greer State Banks annual
Economic Forum held
last Thursday morning at
Thornblade.
Yandle said there are
two reasons 2015 has
been a rocky year for the
US economy: inflation in
Europe and a slumping
Japanese economy. As the
value of the US dollar has
increased internationally,
exports have plummeted.
A strong dollar took
the edge off of our export growth and made it
possible for Americans to
buy more of other countries goods. So, the imports went up, exports
went down and that took
the edge off of economic
growth, explained the
Dean Emeritus of Clemson Universitys College of
Business and Behavioral
Science.
The international slowdown has taken a toll on
the growth rate of Americas Gross Domestic Product (GDP). While last years
was over 3.5 percent, Yandle said we will be doggone lucky to see 2.1 percent for 2015.
Locally, the economic
indices are rosier. Yandle
attributes much of that to
the success of Greers inland port.
While export growth in
our country has fallen, export growth going out of
Charleston hasnt, Yandle

GREER
istorically, Im not a
Halloween guy.
Dont get me
wrong, Ive got no problem with the holiday. I
love scary movies, I love
candy, I love fall weather.
Actually, I just love October in general.
But Halloween, I can
normally do without.
I guess I didnt really
have a normal childhood.
We didnt dress up or go
trick-or-treating in my
family. I recall bringing
home loads of candy from
school, but I never trolled
the neighborhood dressed
up like my favorite ninja
turtle to earn it.
There was one exception. In grade school, I
remember asking my
parents if I could go buy
a costume to go trick-ortreating, but the result
wasnt what I expected.
My dad wasnt about to
spend money to dress me
up like the blue Power
Ranger (his name was
Billy, too), so my mother
was assigned the task
of creating a robot
costume for me to wear
around the neighborhood.
I put the word robot
in quotes because this
costume was nothing
more than a cardboard
box with holes in it and
aluminum foil wrapped
around it. I did get a lot
of candy that night, but
having been scarred by
the experience, I never
pursued trick-or-treating
again.
On Saturday, however,
my wife and I got together
with our neighbors to
hand out candy to kids
who hadnt sworn off the
ritual. Thinking trick-ortreating was still a thing,
we got a bunch of candy
(WOW that stuff is expensive) and sat by the door
waiting for kids.
We live in a fairly busy
neighborhood. Were not
over-populated by any
means, but there are a
healthy amount of kids
that surround us.
That being saidno one
showed up. We waited
and waited. We carved
pumpkins, ordered pizza,
built a fireand still, no
kids.
We eventually saw a kid
ride by on a scooter and
all of us perked up.
Hey, come get your
candy! I shouted, not
realizing how creepy that
sounded from far away.
I didnt care who was
coming to get the candy; I
just needed somebody to
take the fun-sized Skittles
away from me before I
acquired Diabetes.
The kid kept riding, and
soon, it was getting too
dark. We all went inside,
giving up on the prospect
of trick-or-treaters when
the doorbell rang. We
jumped up, running to
the window to see who it
was.
It was a NINJA!
Well, not really a ninja.
It was our 7-year-old
neighbor who actually
made a pretty convincing
ninja.
Not knowing what to
do, we panicked. We
hadnt rehearsed what to
say if we actually got a
trick-or-treater.
HI! we shouted, as the
kid stared at us.
Trick-or-treat, he said,
to all of our delight.
Hold on, well get you
some candy, I told him,
closing the door in his
face.
I ran around the room
searching for the candy
bowl while my wife reopened the door for the
now-confused ninja.
Here you go, I said,
plopping roughly 30
pieces of candy into his
tiny bucket.
Thats kind of a lot, he
said before heading back
down the driveway.
Hes lucky we didnt
give him the whole bag
wed just purchased at
Target.

OF MICE AND MEN
A story of endurance
and hope in the face of unimaginable hardship, John
Steinbecks Of Mice and
Men has kept audiences
spellbound from 1937 to
the present day, through
countless
productions
and film adaptations. The
Spartanburg Little Theatre
opens its own interpretation of this modern masterpiece in November, with
performances Nov. 6, 7, 13
and 14 at 8 p.m. and Nov.
8 and 15 at 3 p.m.
The story centers on
migrant workers George
and Lennie, who dream of
owning their own ranch
someday, a story that
gives them hope as they
travel from place to place.
When the impossibility of
that dream meets harsh
reality, it brings George to
the brink of an unimaginably difficult choice.

Artists Guild of Spartanburg will present artwork from various members in its Fall

The SLT production of
Of Mice and Men features
a cast of SLT performers
both new and returning,
led by Chandler Crawford
as George and Zach Ellis as
Lennie.
Please note that the
characters in the play are
rough, uneducated men
living in a bunkhouse together, and they do employ the frequent use of
strong language, including mild profanity and
vulgarities.
Therefore,
children under the age of
12 should attend at their
parents discretion.
Tickets can be purchased
by calling the Chapman
Cultural Center box office
at (864) 542-2787 or by ordering online at ChapmanCulturalCenter.org. Tickets are $25 for adults, $24
for seniors and $20 for
students.

professionals in honor of former
BJU trombone professor
Dr. Frank Garlock, who
brought the trombone
choir medium to BJU from

Tickets may be purchased online at bju.universitytickets.com or by
calling (864) 770-1372
from noon to 5 p.m. weekdays. Student tickets are

Large teratoma
found near heart
DEAR DR. ROACH: I had
a CT scan due to broken
ribs from a very recent
fall. The scan revealed a
large teratoma near my
heart. I am 69 and was
previously unaware of this
formation. No suggestion
has been given to me regarding further investigation or treatment of the
teratoma. I am assuming it
may have been present at
birth and does not cause
any problem. But now I am
wondering if it should be
monitored. Can a teratoma grow or migrate in the
body? Any information on
teratoma will be appreciated. -- S.S.
ANSWER: A teratoma is
a type of tumor of germ
cells -- the cells that become eggs or sperm. They
can occur within the testis
or ovary, but also can occur outside the gonads.
When they do, they usually
are found in the midline of
the body. A frequent place
is the anterior superior
mediastinum, in between
the lungs and below the
breastbone.
Teratomas
usually are benign tumors,
but some types can act
like cancers.
Your tumor is unlikely
to have been there since
birth.
Nobody
knows
whether the germ cell that
became a teratoma properly went into the gonads
during development, or
whether the cell left the
gonad and then became a
tumor. It is clear, however,
that men with teratoma
outside the gonads are at

ROACH, M.D.
higher risk for developing
testicular cancer later on.
Teratomas, being derived from germ cells, are
capable of creating any
tissue. Teeth and hair are
sometimes found inside
teratomas.
I am very surprised you
havent been recommended for surgical removal.
Surgery is usually successful at curing teratoma.
They certainly can grow,
and occasionally become
very large. I would certainly recommend seeing
an oncologist (cancer specialist). Thoracic (chest)
surgeons operate on this
area. It may be that the
position is difficult, but a
surgeon should still evaluate you, in my opinion.

DEAR DR. ROACH: How
is it that, at age 67, Id never heard about the abomination called scabies? Last

people been advised of
this scourge! -- Anon.
