Despite calls to preserve
the old Allen Bennett Memorial Hospital, Greer city
officials recently began
moving forward with plans
to demolish the structure.
The decision, however,
was not made hastily.
According to Greer Mayor Rick Danner, gradual
deterioration and depreciation of the building made
repurposing a difficult and
costly task.
We have considered a
number of different things
in terms of the action that

Treatment of oral medications and injections often dont

OPINION
The Greer Citizen
ave you ever seen and read such vitriol as in the past couple of weeks?
Holy cow! I couldnt suppress a
chuckle at the truth of a cartoon I saw,
showing a recent, current, feed of what
was trending on Facebook:
Flag, flag, flag, cute dog video, flag, gay
marriage, flag, flag, gay marriage, cute
dog video...
So much anger, a sea of seething disgust, friends unfriending other friends
because of their stand on one topic or
another.
Its as if we just found out we simply
cant stand each other.
And while we call up radio talk shows
and denounce the idiots who dont occupy our point of view, or burn a church,
or label one another as rednecks or
whiney liberals, we hear on the news
that ISIS has hijacked Ramadan, a time
of prayer, fasting and non-violence for
Muslims, and is calling for a month of
slaughter throughout the world as well
as America, particularly on July 4th- but
were so angry at each other, are we even
paying attention?
To be honest, and I dont mean to
IM JUST
SAYING
PAM STONE
sound flip, but what can the lone
wolves ISIS hopes to inspire with their
slick propaganda do to us that we
havent already done to each other,
with unsettling increases in number, for
decades? If the threats are indeed mass
shootings of the American public, well,
you know, whats new? We pretty much
get one of those every couple of months.
We weep, hold candles, bury our dead,
and proclaim, This has got to stop!
And then a 21 year old walked into
Mother Emanuel church, himself having been once described as a regular
church goer, but for whatever reason
and all the while drinking in non-ISIS
but equally violent on-line propaganda,
fulfilled his self-proclaimed mission. He
would have shot more, it was reported,
but he couldnt afford a truly efficient,
automatic weapon.
Gosh, Pam, I kind of read your
column for a laugh or two, thanks for
bumming me out, today.
I know, and Im sorry but I read these
headlines and watch the national news
showing the map of the United States
and where attacks might be most
likely, and listen to Homeland Security
Secretary, Jeh Johnson, state, We are
encouraging all law enforcement to be
vigilant and prepared. We will also adjust security measures, seen and unseen,
as necessary to protect the American
people.
And I think, Meh.
Because it just seems we can be as
vigilant as we want and thats not going to help us if we happen to be in
the wrong movie theatre, digging into
a bag of popcorn with our kids, when
a mentally unstable young man, who
had reportedly been telling his campus
psychologist that he had had thoughts
of committing homicide for over a
month, walk in and begin spraying a few
magazines of ammunition. Or ordering
a cheeseburger at a Hooters type bar in
CURIOUSLY
AMANDA
Be quiet
AMANDA IRWIN
Staff reporter
Unruly
executive
sessions
My 10-year-old grandson
loves to talk, so he often hears
this request from his Dad:
Would you please be quiet for
just five minutes? However, he
didnt fully understand why his
dad needed a break from his
constant chatter until he spent
an afternoon with his five-yearold cousin, who also loves to
talk. My grandson discovered
that concentrating on his video
game was difficult to do while
his little cousin stood beside
him, chattering constantly.
He finally put down his game,
came over to me and said,
Grandma, now I know why
Dad asks me to be quiet for a
little while.
I realized that I too am guilty
of being overly talkative when
I commune with God. Although
Im generally a quiet person,
during my prayers I dominate
the conversation, giving God
lists of requests and praises.
Even while reading my Bible,
my thoughts are not always
focused on listening to what
Im reading. This makes it difficult for me to comprehend the
messages that the Holy Spirit
has for me.
God gives us this command
in Mark 9:7: This is my Son,
whom I love. Listen to him!
Therefore, with renewed desire
to receive what our Lord has
for us to hear, we can say with
Samuel, Speak, for your servant is listening.
Prayer: Dear Lord, forgive us
when we do all the talking. As
we pray, help us to pause and
listen to you. Amen.
Thought for the day: Sometimes Gods wisdom comes in
moments of quiet solitude.

Unauthorized subletting
Q: I own a rental
property that brings in
enough to pay the taxes
and insurance with a
little left over. Recently, I
found out that my tenant,
who just signed a new
two-year lease, is subleasing the property for the
short term as a vacation
site. This kind of thing
happened once before
and is prohibited in the
agreement. Do you think
I should approach him
about the situation or
let it go until it becomes
problematic?
DR: Its already a
problem, because hes
in violation of the lease
agreement. Call him today
and tell him to stop the
sublease immediately. Let
him know that hell be
evicted if anything like
this ever happens again.
This may sound harsh,
but an agreement is an
agreement. You may not
have experienced any big
problems up until now,
but what happens when
he pulls this again and
DAVE
SAYS
DAVE
RAMSEY
the next people who come
in are a bunch of partiers?
You could end up with
broken windows, holes in
the walls and a bad reputation. On top of all that,
what if they leave and he
doesnt have the money to
fix things? Its all on you.
Why? Because you lost
control of your property!
As a landlord, I always
try to be gentle and nice
but really clear about
things. But this guy needs
to understand that you
mean what you say in the
lease agreement. Once
more, and hes gone!

On the surfacethey do
look like plausible variances, said Stevens.
Although the variances
appear non-controversial,
Turner had no legal right
to pass them, according to
Jeff Shacker with the Municipal Association.
State law is really clear,
Shacker said. Variances
can only be granted with
the approval of Zoning
Appeals. Theres a hearing
process there before the
board. Thats true of special exceptions, too. You
have these three tiers: permitted uses, conditional
uses things you can do
if certain conditions are
met andspecial exceptions. Those have to
be approved by the zoning
board also.
The variances Turner
passed were not.
to seeking appointment
from council for a fifth
Zoning Appeals member,
going forward, the Zoning
Appeals Board will review
variances. Stevens added
that the board is awaiting
direction from the citys
attorney and council regarding variances Turner
passed that failed to follow a public hearing and
board review.
The town attorney will
have to advise what we
need to do (on past variances). The buildings are
built. Theyre there, Stevens said.

A 10-game win streak
was snapped Monday
night, as the Greer American Legion junior squad

Senecas sole run came

By Billy Cannada
Sports Editor
Its do or die for Post
115.
The Greer American Legion senior team dropped
game one of a five-game
series to Rock Hill (7-6)
Monday night.
Greer, which had won
nine of 11 games heading
into the final week of the
regular season, must now
win three of its next four
games, without two of its
starters, to stay alive in
the playoffs.
We need to pick up the
intensity a little bit, head
coach Paul Kontowsky
said. We dont have Alex
(Williams) and we dont
have Jordan (Sizemore), so
were going to have somebody step up and play big
for us.
Post 115 struggled down
the home stretch of the
regular season, dropping
games to Gaffney (8-5),
Spartanburg (4-2) and Inman (10-1, 15-5). While the
see Seniors | B2
The Post 115 senior team lost a heartbreaker Monday night, falling to Rock Hill 7-6. Greer
will have to win three of its next four games to advance in the playoffs.
s it possible to win a
championship before
the season even starts?
If so, thats what the
Spurs just did.
In case youve somehow
missed it, San Antonio is
having one of the greatest
NBA offseasons in recent
memory.
Not only did they retain
Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard, Manu Ginobili and
NBA legend Tim Duncan,
but the Spurs acquired
LaMarcus Aldridge from
Portland and David West
from Indiana, easily becoming the team to beat
in 2016.
I have no idea how
Gregg Popovich and the
Spurs front office did it.
They got David West to
take an $11 MILLION PAY
CUT.
They are paying this guy
in Cheerios and hes cool
with it (as long as he gets
a ring, Im guessing).
What would it take for
you to walk away from
$11 million? How do
you explain that to your
friends and family? I
imagine David West said
something like this:
I know Im going to the
most boring team/place
on the planet. I know I
wont get much playing
time and Ill lose a TON of
money, but if we win the
championship we get free
hats and t-shirts, so, you
knowtotally worth it.
Whatever his reasoning, the Spurs are now
stacked, making an
already tough Western
Conference now impossibly difficult.
The most amazing thing
about this team is how
much mileage they continue to get out of Tony
Parker, Ginobili and Duncan. These guys have been
together for 13 seasons,
but they arent showing
any signs of deterioration. You could argue that
theyve slowed down, but
theyre still winning rings,
so they havent slowed
down too much.
These three are the
anchor that holds the
Spurs together. They have
created one of the most
successful dynasties the
sports world has ever
seen.
BUT, lets not be
hypocritical. When LeBron
went to Miami, what did
everybody say? Critics
screamed, he cant do it
without help, or Jordan never needed other
superstars beside him.
Everyone was so hard on
LeBron for selling out
to win a few rings, but
he never had a team that
compared to the 2016
Spurs
If were going to put an
asterisk beside LeBrons
name because he won two
titles with Dwyane Wade,
we need to extend the
same courtesy to Duncan,
Parker and Ginobili, who
have never had more
help than theyve got this
season.
Im not a Spurs guy.
In fact, I find this team
impossible to watch.
That being said, I think
all other teams are playing for second place next
season.

BUCHHEIT
(One of These Nights,
1975) This underrated
country cryer hits on
all cylinders thanks to
Henleys amazing vocals.
Much like Lyin Eyes, its
written from a womans
point of view.
10. Take It Easy (The
Eagles, 1972) An iconic
summer driving tune, Frey
co-wrote this one with
buddy Jackson Browne.
Both artists recorded it,
but the Eagles version is
definitive thanks to the
terrific guitar work of
Leadon.
9. Hotel California
(Hotel California, 1976)
Universally lauded as
the bands greatest song,
its certainly their most
complex and ambitious.
Guitarist Don Felder
wrote the music, while
the lyrics were a joint
effort from Henley and
Frey. Unfolding like some
drugged-out nightmare, it
climaxes with the famous
electric guitar duel between Felder and Walsh.
8. After the Thrill Is
Gone (One of These
Nights, 1975) One of
the finest collaborations
between Frey and Henley,
this ballad details the inevitable flame out of a relationship. Another song
in which both lead singers
get their moments, it

Tempchin. Be that as it
may, the Eagles were able
to get hold of it and use
it as the opening of their
second album. One of
Freys signature songs.
3. Victim of Love
(Hotel California, 1976)
Felder wrote this rocker
and insisted on singing it
for the Hotel California
record. The band apparently liked the song more
than Felders vocal and
chose instead for Henley to sing it. Though a
defeat for Felder, Victim
of Love marked a true
high point for the band.
Felders opening lick and
the songs venomous
lyrics and guitars make it
the Eagles heaviest tune.
2. Lyin Eyes (One
of These Nights, 1975)
Quite simply, one of the
best Country songs ever
made, Lyin Eyes is a
heartbreaking epic of lost
dreams, regret and selling
out. Simple in structure,
the songs strength lies in
its philosophical wisdom
and the superior development of its protagonist.
Freys restrained vocal is
perfect.
1. Desperado (Desperado, 1973) Frey
and Henley never wrote a
better song than this one,
a gorgeous piano ballad
about the price of living
for oneself. Henleys vocal
is as timeless as some of
the lyrics (ie: Your prison
is walking through this
world all alone). Its been
covered too many times
to count, but theres just
no topping the original.

Fibromyalgia
is real disease
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am
a 56-year-old female. I recently have been having
terrible pain in my joints.
It is so bad at night that I
cant sleep. Mainly the pain
is in my neck, ribs, elbows,
knees and wrists. My finger joints have hurt for
years. I recently went to a
rheumatologist because I
had an elevated rheumatoid factor (it wasnt extremely high). I was told
I have arthritis and a high
risk for rheumatoid arthritis. I was then diagnosed
with fibromyalgia. I was
shocked and embarrassed!
I had always thought that
fibro was not a real disease. I feel bad and tired
almost every day, and I am
so sick of it! -- S.S.
ANSWER: Some of my
colleagues still doubt it,
but I think that fibromyalgia certainly is a real
disease. There is no doubt
that there are a large number of people with chronic
pain in the muscles and
soft tissues who meet the
diagnostic tests for fibromyalgia, which are all
based on history and exam
-- theres no blood test or
X-ray for fibromyalgia, but
that doesnt mean it isnt
real. The current thinking
is that fibromyalgia is due
to alterations in the perception of pain by the central nervous system.
The most common symptom is aching in the body,
usually in the muscles and
joints. Although there are
specific commonly tender
spots that clinicians look
for on exam, the diagno-
