- By Terry M. Thacker



Valerie Adams, who lives in the State Park Road area, awoke Saturday morning anticipating setting up a garage sale, only to discover a family of four black bears in her back yard. Although she contemplated cancelling the sale, she decided to go ahead with it, all the while the four bruins slumbered peacefully high up in the branches of a tree. A family of bears, probably the same ones, have recently been spotted in the general area by other individuals as well. By the way, the bears were not for sale.

Council Resolution Tosses Decision to Hospital Systems for Joint Agreement on County EMS Operations
Two months ago, it appeared as if the Greenville County EMS operation would be turned over to the Greenville Hospital System. A deal had allegedly already been worked out with the County Administrator. The problem was that it had not been approved or even seen by Council and St. Francis did not like it at all. The deal, in their view, was stacked against their business interests. Then for the next several meetings of the Council, the Council chambers were filled with supporters of the Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital System. The hospital administrators made their case and accused the administrator of not operating above the table.
As opposition to the plan developed by the Administrator grew, Council members that were inclined to support the plan became skeptical. Finally, it was too controversial for the Council to decide and they approved a resolution drafted by Councilman Willis Meadows that asked the two hospital systems to develop a proposal for the two health systems to operate the EMS system jointly. They were given until the end of September to respond to the Council.

- By Bob Dill, Publisher

Billy and Debi Bush pleaded with the Greenville County Legislative Delegation Monday night to help them continue to have a successful business on Poinsett Highway.
The current plans for beautification of the Poinsett Highway would construct an 8 foot sidewalk within 2 feet of the entrance of their business. Their customers, many of whom are elderly, would have to walk as much as 100 yards from parking to their florist business.
The project is a partnership between the State and Greenville County and also involves a federal grant. Debi Bush said many meetings have been held, and every time they meet changes are made.
