A What we are seeing is that the traffickers themselves see these cities as saturated so they come to Greenville because opportunities are more plentiful.”

-Zaina Greene, executive director, Switch

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // DECEMBER 13

t 15 years old, Julie* was first trafficked. Her husband became her second trafficker and it wasn’t until he was sent to jail for drug charges and she ended up in a detention center in the Upstate that Julie was able to understand she had choices in the direction her life would take.

According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, trafficked is defined as; “the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act.”

Through an employee at the detention center, Julie met with people from Switch, a local nonprofit that helps victims of human trafficking, and she was able to get out. Switch helped her leave the state and enter a long-term restoration home for human trafficking victims, where she is now on her way to starting a new life, having been empowered to make a better choice.

Not all victims of trafficking look like Julie or have been conditioned by their captors to accept a life of being trafficked. As beautiful and desirable as Greenville is from the outside, there is an underbelly of trafficking that runs through the community, just like most major cities across America.

“Atlanta is the number one city in human trafficking in the country and Charlotte is in the top 10. What we are seeing is that the traffickers themselves see these cities as saturated so they come to Greenville because opportunities are more plentiful,” said Zaina Greene, the executive director of Switch and co-chair of the Upstate Human Trafficking Task Force.

When Switch was founded in 2012, people just didn’t believe trafficking happened in Greenville. But as the group started pushing awareness of trafficking through programs in the community and schools, residents began to understand just how prevalent it was in town.

“One of the more positive things for us was when the community started to see victims and call us and ask how to help.

When that happened, there was a shift in the mindset,” Greene said. “We had a woman brought to our office who was first victimized at age 5 and now she was 22. It was a sobering moment for that person and agency. When you put a face to the issue, everything changes.”

Trafficking in Greenville Greene’s observations on the community’s response to trafficking isn’t just anecdotal. Shared Hope International, a

global organization dedicated to ending human trafficking, releases state report cards every year, using a grading system to illustrate how well state laws respond to the crime of human trafficking, especially for children.

In 2012, South Carolina received a “D,” indicating that laws were not as protective as they could be towards minors who were trafficked. In 2018, the state received a “B” in part because sentences for those convicted of trafficking doubled from 15 years to 30 years and the institution of mandatory training of law enforcement about trafficking.

Switch representatives say there is more to do, however. In July, part of an international sex trafficking ring was busted in Greenville where commercial sex was being sold out of an apartment on Pelham Road. Women were being flown into Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport for two-week stints as prostitutes until police were tipped off and launched an investigation that led to arrests.

Last year, 23% of new human trafficking cases in the state were opened in Greenville County, according to the South Carolina Human Trafficking Task Force.

FROM THE COVER “Human trafficking is a supply-anddemand industry so the more Greenville grows, it’s likely human trafficking will increase,” Greene said. “This is why awareness of human trafficking in our area is crucial.”

Training & Awareness When Alex Garvey began his position in 2016 as the senior vice president of Mission at Bon Secours St. Francis Health System, he, like Greene, realized that few Greenville residents had any idea of the extent of human trafficking taking place in Upstate. Under his leadership, the Bon Secours Mission Department hosted its first human trafficking awareness and educational seminar in 2017, titled “In Our Backyard.” Through a media blitz, the seminar was able to raise significant awareness of human trafficking in Greenville and start the city on a path to combating trafficking and helping victims.

In August, Bon Secours hosted its third such seminar. Attendees came from a variety of backgrounds, including health care, social services, law enforcement, education and business. In addition to the more than 1,000 people who attended in person, the livestream was viewed by more than 30,000 people from around the world.

One of the outcomes of these seminars has been a clinical-training video, produced through a collaboration between Bon Secours and the South Carolina Hospital Association, that will be used in all South Carolina hospitals to train staff to recognize victims of trafficking.

1in3

Local Solutions Partnerships have been key to combating human trafficking in Greenville and raising awareness of what it looks like and how to help.

The South Carolina Human Trafficking Task Force, run out of the state Attorney General’s office, is composed of dozens of groups that seek to end human trafficking, including Switch and Jasmine Road, a long-term residential program in the Greenville area where women who are victims of trafficking or reliance on drugs can find hope and healing in a safe place.

The Junior League of Greenville has recently started to provide resources for the women that these two organizations serve such as clothing, shoes and accessories from the Junior League’s Nearly New Shop.

The task force also heavily promotes the National Human Trafficking Hotline (888-373-7888 or text 233733) through billboards and flyers in hospitals, truck stops, businesses, bathrooms and airports. Additionally, they help train first responders, medical professionals and labor agencies to identify victims of human trafficking.

But housing for victims of trafficking remains at the top of the list.

“Our greatest need right now is immediate or temporary housing for victims,” Greene said. “The first thing you can do for a victim is to meet the need for a safe place for them to lay their head. Stabilization homes would make them more

successful, give them time to rest and stabilize and give them authority over their life — it’s an important key that’s missing that would set them up for success.”

More than 140 women have come through the restoration program at Switch and over 200 others through the intervention program. The nonprofit holds a yearly gala as well as a Sweetheart Ball, which helps encourage the family unit and empowers young girls to know their worth. The groundwork has paid off in the community.

“We’ve seen a drastic change in the community since we started, which is a huge success,” Greene said. “Our community now has recognized a need for an anti-trafficking organization.”

PROFILE

Knitting shop owner offers classes for ‘crafty’ students Danielle Ertter learned to knit in the first grade, when she was 6 years old. Little did she know that more than 30 years later, she would start her own knitting company, London Fog Stitchery.

Originally from New York, Ertter moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, about two years ago where she began to teach knitting.

“I was new to the area and didn’t know what to do,” Ertter said. “I walked into a yarn shop and asked if I could teach classes there.”

The classes proved to be successful, but Ertter wasn’t fond of the Charlotte area so she moved to Greenville. “I had this idea of having my own space to teach knitting and bring a new kind of vibe to knitting in Greenville,” Ertter said.

After she found her space, the new business came together quickly. London Fog Stitchery opened on Oct. 1, 2019, at 217 E. Stone Ave., Suite 38, Greenville.

While there are other yarn stores in Greenville, Ertter said she tries to make her store different. “All of my yarn is hand dyed and the fibers are local to Greenville, like Old Soul Fiber,” she explained.

She also uses Queen City Yarn, handdyers out of Charlotte.

All of my yarn is hand dyed and the fibers are local to Greenville, like Old Soul Fiber.”

-Danielle Ertter, owner, London Fog Stitchery

Ertter offers classes, which she calls Knit Clinics. From 10 a.m.-noon on Saturdays, members and non-members can attend one of the sessions to get help with a project, fix a mistake or just to work on a new skill.

“I also created packages for students, so if you wanted to go from beginner to advanced, there is a package for that,” Ertter said. “Or you can buy packages separately, like a beginner or intermediate package.”

When going into a typical yarn store, they may offer classes, but they may not

be as customized. “At London Fog Stitchery, I can take you through the entire fiber journey,” Ertter said.

While Ertter said she is passionate about helping others on their fiber journey, she finds that she also helps herself. Knitting has helped her through tough times and remains an outlet for her, she said.

Less than two months after opening, Ertter is still discovering the demographics behind her customer base.

She said she encourages everyone to attend a lesson.

For non-members, there is a $10 charge to attend the Knit Clinics. London Fog Stitchery also holds Open Knit sessions on Wednesday nights and Friday afternoons.

“Open Knit is a great opportunity to get to know our members, and to spend time with the London Fog Stitchery community,” Ertter said. “For our fiber

community members that are looking for something a little more structured, I also offer classes across all skill levels.”

Ertter said she has designed classes for everyone from beginning knitters to advance knitters. There are classes for groups or one-on-one lessons.

Materials needed for projects can be found right in the studio. London Fog Stitchery also has gift certificates and class packages available for purchase that make great gifts for any occasion, Ertter said.

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // DECEMBER 13

The folks at Southern Opossum Sanctuary, or Opossum SOS, want to educate Upstate residents about the beneficial and misunderstood creatures.

The S.C. nonprofit, which was founded

by Connie Reese, works to rescue opossums and provide rehabilitation services for them. Over 12 people volunteer for the organization and respond to a number of calls.

Greenville’s Peggy Ambler is one of the volunteers who primarily focuses on rehabilitating opossums. When she began, she would respond to opossum 911 calls.

“If an opossum was hit or acting strange, like doing circles on the side of the road, the organization would message us with a 911 update and a location that we could respond to,” Ambler said.

This was the extent of Ambler’s participation until Shelby, an injured opossum, came along. Ambler said she felt equipped to rehabilitate Shelby because of her career as a physical therapist.

Ambler has been rehabilitating opossums for about six months, usually taking them into her home. “The goal is to rehabilitate them to the point where they can be released somewhere,” Ambler said.

However, Shelby’s case was different and Ambler decided to keep her. Her injury kept her from being able to survive in the wild.

While some may find it strange to have an opossum as a pet, Ambler said she couldn’t be happier. She said she loves to educate people on the perks of opossums and to dispute the misconceptions often heard about them.

Oppossums are carrion feeders and can eat up to 5,000 TICKS during one season

People think they carry rabies, and very seldom is that the case.”

-Peggy Ambler, volunteer, Opossum SOS “I think people are afraid of them,” Ambler said. “Don’t get me wrong, they will eat an animal or attack an animal if they have to or feel threatened.”

However, she said opossums are often the victims of myths created about them.

“People think that they carry rabies, and very seldom is that the case,” she said.

According to farmersalmanac.com, opossums are not considered a rabiesvector animal, meaning they don’t spread it. The reason foam is often found around their mouth is because of an involuntary reaction — like fainting.

Another misconception is that opossums eat trash. While they may resort to that when food is scarce, opossums require a balanced diet in order to avoid metabolic bone disease, Ambler said.

“MBD comes from an improper diet and the disease can’t be spread to other animals,” she said. “It is when the bones start to deteriorate because of a lack of proper nutrients, like calcium.”

Opossums are very beneficial to the Upstate area because they are carrion feeders. An opossum can also eat 5,000 ticks in a season, according to the National Wildlife Federation.

“We need them in our woods and in our community,” Ambler said. “I understand that people think they are a nuisance, but with all of the opossums I have rehabbed, they have never offered to bite me.”

OPINION

We all need safe places to walk and ride a bike n story by FRANK MANSBACH AND MARY MCGOWAN photos provided by BIKE WALK GREENVILLE

We at Bike Walk Greenville recently posted a disturbing photo on social media showing the tire tracks of a reckless motorist driving directly through the center refuge island at the intersection of state Highway 253 and the Green Line of the Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail system. GVLtoday shared the photo with its readers.

The post received several hundred comments, and many said we need safer infrastructure: “let’s build a bridge.” Others commented that they have seen too many near misses at this location and thus would never attempt to cross by foot or by bike. While the safety hazard posed by this intersection is immediately apparent to all, we believe the community must better understand the challenges of getting safer infrastructure funded and built.

What we have witnessed since we founded our nonprofit in 2013 is that limited budget allocation for safe biking and walking infrastructure and very long implementation timelines are preventing the completion of projects that would bring real, meaningful changes to our community.

The Greenville County Recreation Department had investigated a bridge over Highway 253 and found that due to adjacent high-voltage power lines and the required length and height of the bridge, the cost would exceed $3 million, and no such public money was available.

With more than 5 million users to date, the popular Swamp Rabbit Trail is a prime example of safe multimodal infrastructure, and the continued expansion of the SRT network will be a great thing for our community. The city of Greenville has dedicated a significant amount of hospitality tax money to the SRT network, including $4 million for bridges for the SRT extension from Cleveland Park to CU-ICAR. Greenville County has invested over $10 million to create and maintain the SRT system since 2009.

The Greenville Pickens Area Transportation Study will dedicate 10% of all funding starting in 2024 for biking and walking projects. Its long-range transportation plan funds the SRT expansion to Mauldin in 2024-30, and the Simpsonville SRT is funded in 203140. That seems a very long way off to us.

Unfortunately, the safety of the SRT does not translate to our local roads and

streets. The dangers to people on foot and on bike whose travels require braving roads that have been designed to move only motor vehicles is obvious. For example, the report Dangerous by Design 2019 documents nine pedestrian deaths (200817) within a mile of the Highway 253 and SRT intersection.

We have concluded that bringing meaningful impact to the safety of people walking or biking along major thoroughfares is not realistic under the current budget and timeline limitations. The cost to retrofit our car-centric roads with modern people-centric design with wide sidewalks separated from traffic, street trees and protected bike lanes — “complete streets” — simply requires funding and urgency that is currently nonexistent.

So, what can be done?

Bike Walk Greenville will continue to advocate for increased government funding for safe biking and walking projects.

We will also endeavor to accelerate timelines by looking for opportunities to develop new public-private partnerships.

The Lakeview Link project that now connects Lakeview Middle School to the SRT had no projected timeline for constructed until we raised private funding to partner with the county.

Individuals in our community also have their own roles in making their voices heard. All of our elected officials need to understand from their constituents that we have been designing our community around cars for too long. A forward-thinking investment in multimodal infrastructure will benefit Greenville for generations. Now is the time to start designing our community for people.

Frank Mansbach is the executive director of Bike Walk Greenville and became an advocate after being hit on his bike by a distracted driver in 2010.

Mary McGowan is a board member of Bike Walk Greenville who commutes by bike and witnesses too many distracted drivers.

As the winter season arrives, our Members continue to thrive indoors at a variety of holiday events, social gatherings and family visits, all while their safety and comfort are cared for.

As the first to bring robotic arm-assisted technology to Greenville, our hospital performs more joint replacements than anyone else in the state. That means our joint replacement team is here for you from education to recovery so you can get moving again.

Call 864-213-4958 to sign up for a FREE joint replacement seminar on Jan. 22.

Local nonprofit Senior Action announced plans to expand services and make room for new members, following the purchase of a building that will double the size of its current headquarters.

Set to open in summer 2020, the new space will have a Fine Arts Center with music, art and movement studios specifically for seniors, and a conference center that can seat up to 400 people for special events, thanks to a gift from Greenville Women Giving.

“Art and music programs are among our most popular and consistently have a waiting list,” says Andrea Smith, executive director of Senior Action, the nonprofit organization that connects adults over the age of 55 to programs and services to help them stay healthy, active and engaged in their community. “The Fine Arts Center will feature soundproof

The building Senior Action has been housed in since 2007 is approximately 15,000 square feet. The new headquarters is less than two miles away, located at 3715 E. North St., and offers 32,000 square feet of space for programs and activities.

“This new building gives us muchneeded space to grow,” Smith says. “We hope it will also increase our revenue stream so we can continue serving as many seniors as possible.”

Senior Action serves nearly 5,000 seniors at eight locations throughout Greenville County, offering a variety of educational programs, fitness classes and social events, as well as access to services like medical transportation, lawn care, home-delivered meals and affordable housing.

Groundbreaking held for new affordable housing Sharing umbrellas in the soft rain, a crowd gathered together on Monday Dec. 9 for a groundbreaking ceremony on Stratford Street in the White Horse Road area.

The ceremony kicked off construction on three affordably priced single-family homes, each featuring three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a two-car garage.

The homes are slated to be on the market by the end of the first quarter of 2020, priced in the mid-$100,000 range and available for purchase by moderate to low-income individuals.

The properties were acquired by the Neighborhood Housing Corporation of Greenville with the stated goal of providing new homeownership opportunities in the Greenville community. The Affordable Housing Fund from Greenville County is financing the construction of the homes.

Local family achieves dream with a new home for the holidays More than a year after leaving an uninhabitable rental unit where the landlord refused to repair critical issues in their home such as holes in the walls and ceilings, and mold, Charles and Julie Merritt and their two sons were gifted a new home for the holidays.

Interfaith Hospitality Network and Clayton hosted a ribbon cutting on Thursday, Dec. 12 to celebrate the new home, located in Greer.

Charles and Julie Merritt and their two sons, Jordan Merritt, 13, and Trevor Merritt, 6, entered the United Ministries Interfaith Hospitality Network program in 2018 and worked closely with IHN to overcome housing obstacles, improve their financial stability and ensure their children could continue accessing educational resources.

William Bates house – the home of Greenville's textile pioneer story by KIMBERLY COLLIER

Thousands of people drive by the William Bates house every day without even realizing they are passing the property and home once owned by one of the most successful and influential textile manufacturers in South Carolina. Almost completely obscured from view by trees and bushes along Highway 14, the William Bates house, built in 1835 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, is a privately owned piece of Greenville’s rich history.

The home itself is believed to be the only remaining structure associated with textile pioneer William Bates.

A two-story, clapboard-sided home with a tin gabled roof and a foundation of granite and fieldstone piers, the home has survived the test of time. Renovations and updates have long since changed the interior of the structure, but some of the original details have been left intact. The home is flanked on both the front and rear by porches extending the length of the home, each of which is supported by nine simple columns.

William Bates, the textile pioneer

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // DECEMBER 13

Batesville is built

Batesville is typically thought of as the first true textile plant in the county. Over the years it was enlarged several times and by 1840 Greenville County was producing $72,000 worth of cotton goods, primarily from the Batesville plant. William Bates had truly become one of the most successful mill owners in South Carolina.

In 1850 Bates’ son-in-law, H.P. Hammett, joined Wil-

William Bates House - Modern Photograph Hammett to purchase Garrison Shoals, located on the Saluda River, with the plan of eventually building a cotton mill at the location. Several events would delay progress on construction of the plant at Garrison Shoals, however, including the ongoing Civil War; William Bates’s death in 1872; and the financial panic of 1873. But, through Hammett’s perseverance, Piedmont Manufacturing No. 1 was put into operation in 1876 with a water wheel providing power for 5,000 spindles and 112 looms. This marked the real beginning of the textile boom in Greenville County.

The historic house and barn, situated on approximately 10.88 acres, are located off Highway 14 – in what used to be the rural ‘outskirts’ of Greenville County.

William Bates, who was born in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, began working in the textile industry at the age of 8. In 1819, he relocated to South Carolina primarily to work in the Weavers’ factory located in the Spartanburg District. Around 1830, Bates went to work at Lester’s factory on the Entree River and in 1833 he purchased 300 acres of land from Josiah Kilgore for $810.

This purchase made way for the initial construction and founding of “Batesville,” a revolutionary textile mill.

liam Bates & Co. and helped with the continued expansion of the Batesville plant. By the time it was sold to Charleston-based Trenholm, Frazier & Co. in 1862, the plant was operating 3,000 spindles.

The sale of the Batesville plant made way for Bates and

Piedmont Manufacturing gets its start

The opening of the Piedmont Manufacturing Co. and the subsequent success of the operations made way and created the path for other textile plants to be built in and around the Greenville area. After several additions, including two complete new plants (Piedmont Nos. 2 and 3), Piedmont Manufacturing was the largest mill in the state, boasting a total value of manufactured goods well over the million dollar mark.

The Batesville and Piedmont Mills are early predecessors of the extensive Greenville textile industry history and evolution.

Sometimes people are hard to buy for, especially the ones who will not tell you anything they might want or even say they just don't want anything at all. So, a little bit of 'reverse psychology' solves this age old problem. Just get them to guess three things that you got them for Christmas... yes, now you have three ideas of something they really want.

Happy Holidays!

Photos instead of gift tags

Oh, the gift tag issue, trying to think of a fun and creative way to avoid those little store bought tags? A great way to 'label' packages is to use your favorite photo of the gift recipient - just print and paste for instant package personalization.

Tagless presents

NEW PRICE

This is what happens at my house during a typical holiday season, I put a gift under the tree with the name label on it and almost immediately the intended recipient is shaking it, guessing what the present is and just generally messing around with the package. Tagless presents solved this problem immediately. Just wrap each person's gifts in varied paper styles and there’s no need to put name tags on the packages.

On Christmas morning give each person a square of their gift wrap to let them know which gifts belong to them. This increases the suspense.

Go ahead... shake those packages

$5000 BUYER INCENTIVE!

Another way to 'fool' a gift shaker - add a handful of jingle bells to each gift box before they’re wrapped these will disguise the sound of the gift inside.

CHANCELLORS PARK

Get our your pom-poms

1 Knightsbridge $589,900 | 5BR/5.5BA MLS#1399807

Use yarn pom poms on packages instead of bows.

No worries about bows being stacked on each other and getting squished or destroyed, and honestly pompoms are cheaper to buy and easier to DIY than bows.

Put the jingle in Pringles

NEW ROOF!

Clean out used Pringles containers, cover them in festive paper and boom: easy and free Christmas cookie packaging. Looks professional and keeps cookies from crumbling as well.

CHARLESTON WALK 204 Grandmont Court $454,900 | 4BR/4BA MLS#1402918

Pre-open those impossible packages

Those impossible to open plastic packages, the ones that seem like they intend for you get out the circular saw to open, make Christmas morning a hassle for the kids (young and old) and a hassle for you as you try to figure out just how to open them.

Go ahead and pre-open those packages as you wrap gifts. It may make the gift harder to wrap initially (or you could put everything in an easy to wrap box) but the extra effort before hand will make all the difference on Christmas morning.

GENERAL TIPS AND TRICKS FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON Snap those cards

All those picture cards and no idea what to do with them? Just snap a picture of them with your phone to use as contact photos or save them for the photo as a gift tag tip.

Customer service on aisle four

Having a hard time getting the help you need in a store this holiday season? Go over and stand by the biggest, most expensive TV (or other in store item) and look at the price tag, someone will be right over to help you.

The aroma of the holidays (and beyond)

Sprinkle essential oil on your air filter to scent the whole house: Pine essential oil will give the whole house that Christmas tree smell. After the holidays are over other oils such as vanilla, jasmine, orange, etc... will have the same effect.

Picking up a broken glass

CRASH! There goes the glass at a party or a Christmas ball off the tree - and little glass shards are everywhere. Instead of trying to sweep or vacuum, grab a slice of bread it will pick those small shards up in one sweep.

Batteries in cold storage

Buying batteries in bulk size packages is typically more economical and the better way to purchase. But, what about battery life? Store your batteries in the refrigerator and the will keep their strength and full power longer.

And, just as a reminder, check those toys before you wrap them to make sure to have the correct battery size and number so you can be prepared on Christmas morning.

and REAL ESTATE

Power check

Before going on your holiday vacation, place a coin on a mug of ice in your freezer. When you get home - if the coin is in the ice, it means your freezer stopped working at one point and the food probably has gone bad.

No leaks

Worried about leaking toiletries in your bag? Put a piece of plastic wrap under the screw on lids for a double seal.

Emergency copies

Scan and email yourself a copy of your I.D and passport - plus other important travel documents (download them so they can be accessed offline too) in case of emergency.

Road trip

Going on a road trip with the kids? Secure a fitted sheet to the back seat of the car, it will catch any crumbs/mess. Simply whip away the sheet and the crumbs are gone.

Fresh out of the dryer luggage

Put a scented dryer sheet into your luggage to keep clothes smelling fresh, when you get home and unpack, store your luggage with a dryer sheet or two in each bag and the bags will be fresh and clean when you get ready to travel again.

ENTERTAINING AND HOLIDAY PARTIES The belly button rule

Holding your drink at belly button level at holiday parties or networking events will make you look more confident.

Addressing directions - send a picture

When sending guests directions to your house, don’t just send them the address; send a picture of your house too - this makes it super easy to find the right house.

Offer guests a candy store

Create a "candy store" on an entry or side table with lidded apothecary jars in various sizes. Fill them with colorful candies and put scoops and small baggies on the table. Use individually wrapped candy and enjoy the look all season long.

STORAGE SOLUTIONS AFTER THE HOLIDAYS Store ornaments in cups

Everyone wants to keep their ornaments organized, and it turns out all you need is a bin and a stack of plastic cups to make sure each ornament stays perfectly packed until next year.

DEFINE YOUR POTENTIAL. As a regionally accredited college, your credits can move with you. Transfer options to many four-year institutions give you the choice to determine which career and educational track is your best fit.

Honors programs, academic support and small class sizes mean you’ll be able to gain the educational foundation you need for your future with confidence.

Student projects, like the Student Scholar Showcase, give you a venue to feature your talents and semester’s work, while one-to-one tutoring helps you master your material.

Eggs-cellent storage

For your smallest ornaments, use egg cartons.

Get all hung up

Wrap Christmas lights around a hanger so they don’t get tangled in storage.

Each year, the Poole family adds more lights and displays to their home light show. This year they are adding curtain lights and flame throwers to their already massive display, as well as another setup in their neighbor’s yard dedicated to the family’s grandmother. They estimate about 4,000 people come through this season.

The tradition of The Christmas House was started in the 1970s and continues to amaze visitors to this day. The show is drive-through only and can accommodate big passenger vans. The show begins nightly starting at sundown. This year, one of the displays pays homage to the new film, “Frozen 2.”

Lights here are all synced to music and start up on Thanksgiving night and run through New Year’s Eve.

WINTER Pop-classical sensation Lindsey Stirling brings Christmas cheer to the Peace Center n story by VINCENT HARRIS | photo provided by PEACE CENTER

Some artists release Christmas albums or create holiday-themed shows because it’s profitable. Some record and perform Christmas songs as a way to fill time in between original albums.

Lindsey Stirling is not one of those artists.

For the best-selling, Billboard Music Award-winning violinist and singer-songwriter, Christmas music is very personal, and her 2017 release “Warmer In The Winter” is an expression of what it means to her.

“Christmas is really important to me,” Stirling says. “Not only the traditions and the memories, but I’m a Christian. I believe in Jesus Christ. I was really excited to make this album, and it wasn’t just because ‘Silent Night’ was a really popular song. I grew up singing that song in church, and I love what it means.”

The 13-song “Warmer In The Winter” album is a mix of traditional holiday standards like “Silent Night,” more lighthearted tunes like “Jingle Bell Rock,” and a few Stirling originals, all marked by Stirling’s stunning violin playing over fresh, contemporary electronic-pop backing tracks. It was also one of the most successful releases of Stirling’s career, becoming the best-selling new Christmas album of 2017 and topping multiple album charts over artists like Gwen Stefani and Sia. “That made me so happy,” Stirling says of the album’s reception. “It seemed to resonate with people on a really personal level.

There were a lot of people expressing to me how much it meant to them, and that was the biggest thing. I feel like people of faith related to that album. You can feel things on that album that you can’t fake; you can’t fake that genuine spirituality.”

The “Warmer In The Winter” album has since spawned a successful tour of the same name, which will bring Stirling to the Peace Center in Greenville on Monday, Dec. 16.

Stirling planned the show as more than just a straightforward performance; it’s closer to a Broadway musical, with costume changes, different stage sets and set pieces designed to take the audience on an admittedly sentimental journey.

“I love the Christmas tour,” she says.

“One of the goals I have is that I want people to go through a lot of emotions. I want people to laugh and have fun, but then I also hope that people will feel something special. I want people saying, ‘I laughed, I cried, I went through all the feels.’”

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // DECEMBER 13

My whole thing is, when you’ve got lots of people listening to you, you should give them something to believe in; something that matters.”

-Lindsey Stirling, musician Stirling says she wants the audience to react emotionally to her show because she’s coming from an emotional place onstage.

“I really do go out there and not only perform my heart out, but I really bare my soul up there,” she says. “My whole thing is, when you’ve got lots of people listening to you, you should give them something to believe in; something that matters. When I leave the stage, I want people to leave the show feeling inspired and uplifted. I pray for that every night. That’s my calling as an artist, a performer and a person, and this gives me a really appropriate setting to share those kinds of things.”

There will no doubt be a lot of young people in the audience for Stirling’s show on Monday; since her self-titled debut al-

bum in 2012, she’s become an inspiration to many aspiring young musicians, both because of her classical-meets-pop musical approach and because of her unflinching honesty when discussing her struggles with depression and anorexia.

“I think that’s the greatest compliment you could possibly get from someone is that you in some way inspired them to create art as well as seeking it out,” she says. “I have to tell you, I just love when I see these little kids out in the audience who are so excited, or when they tell me they play the violin now. I think it’s so important for people to have an outlet they feel they can create with. I get excited when I see that people give themselves permission to create and be creative.”

Phyllis Mills Wyeth: A Celebration

Jamie Wyeth, born 1946 Stealing Holly from the Irénées, 2016 Courtesy of The Phyllis and Jamie Wyeth Collection

ON VIEW THROUGH DECEMBER 29, 2019 From the late 1960s onward, Phyllis Mills Wyeth (1940 – 2019) was a muse to her husband, artist Jamie Wyeth. The paintings assembled in this traveling exhibition are a memorial tribute to her and reflect her vibrant spirit and love of nature, horses, and her ever-present dogs. Phyllis Wyeth was a noted philanthropist, conservationist, environmentalist, arts supporter, accomplished horsewoman, and a staunch advocate for the rights of those with disabilities.

When you visit the GCMA, you’ll discover a carefully curated selection of American art, including the world’s largest public collection of watercolors by Andrew Wyeth, one of the world’s best institutional collections of works by our country’s most acclaimed living artist, Jasper Johns, and an unrivaled Southern Collection.

For years, one of the coolest sights on the Upstate music scene was singer Little Lesley Swift standing atop her double bass, thumping out rockabilly rhythms with her band, The Bloodshots. It was a sight and a sound that got Swift noticed outside of our comfy South Carolina confines, and Little Lesley & The Bloodshots were able to supplement their local gigs by playing prestigious rockabilly festivals around the world.

But for those who chose to take a deep dive into The Bloodshots’ most recent album, “Heartbeat,” it was clear that Swift was a fan of more than just double-time rhythms and stuttering guitar riffs. Midtempo ballads like “I’m Sorry” and “Spell My Name” revealed a promising honkytonk country singer-songwriter hiding beneath the stacked heels and big hair.

I don’t have any regrets. I think we still have enough of that rockabilly in us that we really feel part of a part of that community to some degree.”

-Little Lesley Swift, musician

–GREENVILLE–

From rockabilly raver to honky-tonk angel

And indeed, honky-tonk country is the musical direction Swift has headed in since “Heartbeat” came out. She recently revamped the Bloodshots, expanding it from a chopped-and-channeled guitar-bassdrums trio to a quartet that includes pedalsteel player (and occasional lead guitarist) Sean O’Shields, drummer Brian Kennedy and bassist Mark Dye, with Swift switching to rhythm guitar. She’s also written a set of fresh honky-tonk heartbreakers for her new band to perform.

“I feel it’s definitely been a move in the right direction,” she says. “I don't have any regrets. I think we still have enough of that rockabilly in us that we really feel part of a part of that community to some degree. Honky-tonk is right on the border of rockabilly, right? So I haven't had to give that up entirely.”

Swift says that she feels a lot more freedom as a songwriter now that she’s moved toward country.

“It's really challenged my songwriting ability,” she says, “and that’s one of the reasons why I wanted to get out of rockabilly.

There tends to be a really set, formulaic structure in rockabilly, and I felt like there was a lot more room in honky-tonk; there's just more variety with the songwriting that I’ve really enjoyed.”

Swift also decided that she needed a residency-style regular gig to hone her new band and new material before recording a new album early next year. That’s how “Honky Tonk Happy Hour,” a weekly Thursday night show at Greenville’s Velo Fellow, was born.

“I just really wanted to pick up a residency to get us together every week and get us tight,” she says. “And so we started thinking about where we wanted to do it and everyone thought Velo Fellow would be a good choice. And I was trying to think of a good name, and I went with ‘Honky Tonk Happy Hour’ because we really want to create that honky-tonk vibe.”

That vibe is an important part of the equation, and Swift says the Velo Fellow’s setup, which has the stage in a different room than the main bar/restaurant area, is ideal.

“I want it to feel like if you’ve had a rough week, come enjoy some drinks and some music and kick back, you know?” she says.

Swift and the new-look Bloodshots play three sets of rockin’ country every Thursday night, mixing her own new material with that of other honky-tonk-appropriate artists.

“We do a mix of probably two-thirds original music and one-third covers,” she says.

“We’ll do old Hank Williams songs, we throw in some Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline or Dolly Parton, and we do Dwight Yoakam, too. It’s just old-school honky-tonk classics, and we do some obscure tracks that real aficionados will appreciate. It’s been really great.”

Straight Outta Taylors: Homegrown metal stars Nile return to the Upstate n story by VINCENT HARRIS | photo by F. DESMAELE/NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS

Singer-songwriter and guitarist Karl Sanders has been leading the brutal Upstate metal band Nile for more than 25 years. The band has had a great deal of success, especially overseas; their technically dazzling, eardrum-punishing albums have hit the charts in Finland, Germany, Hungary, France just to name a few exotic locales.

But the band’s ninth studio album, the just-released “Vile Nilotic Rites,” is a bit of a curveball. It sounds just as crisp, skillful and massively heavy as their other records, and it has already met with international success, hitting the charts in Germany, Scotland and Spain. Not bad for an album largely recorded in Sanders’ house just a few miles down the road.

“We did the drums in Athens, Greece,” Sanders says, “but everything else was recorded in my home studio right here in Taylors.”

That’s a notable first in Nile’s career, but it’s not the only one. This is the first album that Sanders has produced, and it’s the first one with the band’s new lineup featuring guitarist Brian Kingsland and bassist Brad Parris.

Sanders says that taking the reins from Grammy-award-winning producer Neil Kernon, who worked on Nile’s last four records, was no easy task.

“There are a lot of challenges when you try to take on a project like that,” he says.

“There’s a responsibility to make sure the music’s right. There are a lot of long days.

We wanted this to be a strong record, so we really put in extra time.”

“There’s someone new who’s accountable now: me,” he says with a laugh. “I wouldn’t recommend it for the weak of heart.”

Sanders says that 25 years ago, it would’ve been impossible for him to imagine recording a professional-sounding album in a home studio. Then again, he adds that it would’ve been impossible for him to imagine a lot of things.

NILE, WITH TERRORIZER » SATURDAY, DEC. 14 | 7:00PM » THE FIRMAMENT » $20 FIRMAMENTGVL.COM

It’s important to be taking care of people in our hometown.”

-Karl Sanders, singer-songwriter, guitarist “Twenty-five years ago I couldn’t have envisioned a 25-year career,” he says. “It was a lot of hard days, busting our asses.”

It helps when you have bandmates who are willing to help out, though, and Sanders says that Kingsland, Parris and longtime drummer George Kollias were more than up to the task.

In fact, most of the “Vile Nilotic Rites” is a total group effort.

“Brian wrote the music for four songs,” Sanders says, “so right out of the gate you have an instant collaboration. But it goes even deeper than that. There was a real willingness to trust each other and hear each other out.”

Twenty-five years is a long time to do anything, but playing metal music around the world is an especially exhausting occupation.

While other veteran bands have retired, Nile is still out there touring and recording, and Sanders says it’s at least partially because they concentrate on what’s right in front of them rather than the distant future.

“We keep focused on the work,” he says.

“We finished the record, now it’s time to tour, to meet fans, to shake hands and spread the gospel of this new Nile record. Our greater place in the grand scheme of thing isn’t up to us to decide. That’s up to the fans.”

Nile will be spreading that gospel with a show at The Firmament in Greenville on Saturday, Dec. 14, and Sanders says that even after touring around the world, a hometown show is something special.

“It’s important to be taking care of people in our hometown,” he says. “That’s where we’re from. It’s where our lives are; it’s where our friends and families are. You can’t argue with home.”

The state’s first applied bachelor’s program at a two-year institution began this fall at Greenville Technical College.

The Bachelor in Applied Science in Advanced Manufacturing Technology will prepare graduates to assume technical and managerial positions in the growing global manufacturing sector, which drives South Carolina’s economic strength.

Technicians with plans to advance into higher-level technical and management positions can build on their associate degree, adding two more years of education at Greenville Tech’s very affordable rates. Learning will be active, engaging and hands-on. Keep up to date on the first-ever program in South Carolina.

You saw “Hamilton.” Now here’s your chance to see the spoof.

Actually, it’s not necessary to have caught the Tony Award-winning “Hamilton” to enjoy “Spamilton: An American Parody,” arriving at the Peace Center’s Gunter Theatre on Dec. 17 for a three-week run.

The show takes humorous aim at several familiar Broadway shows, including “Phantom of the Opera,” “Book of Mormon,” “Avenue Q,” “Harry Potter” and “Hamilton.”

Along the way, there’s an affectionate send-up of a few Broadway divas, including Liza Minnelli, Barbra Streisand and Bernadette Peters. And the Obamas — or at least their doppelgangers — make an appearance as well.

It’s 72 minutes of nonstop singing, acting and dancing.

We start and we don’t quit.”

-Datus Puryear, actor “It’s just an awesome night at the theater,” said Datus Puryear, who plays Aaron Burr, among other characters, in “Spamilton.”

The show was written by the master of musical spoof, Gerard Alessandrini, author of 25 editions of the parody “Forbidden Broadway.”

» DEC. 17-JAN. 5 | TIMES VARY » THE PEACE CENTER » $57 PEACECENTER.ORG The five-person “Spamilton” is performed in one fast-paced act. A pianist provides musical accompaniment.

“It’s 72 minutes of nonstop singing, acting and dancing,” Puryear said, speaking on the phone from New York during a short break in the tour. “We start and we don’t quit.”

“Spamilton” debuted off-Broadway in 2017 to rave reviews. The New York Times called it “smart, silly and convulsively funny.”

HERE TO LAUGH The national tour of “Spamilton” took to the road one year ago, with extended runs mostly in larger cities such as Boston and Phoenix.

“It has been really well received,” Puryear said. “People come here to laugh.

Many of the shows have been sold out.

People will hang out to tell us how they loved this or that show we spoofed.”

And while the show may lampoon “Hamilton,” at the heart of “Spamilton” is an abiding respect for that boundarybreaking musical.

“Gerard (Alessandrini) created this show based on the incredible phenomenon called ‘Hamilton,’” Puryear said.

“That’s really inspiring, and we hammer that point home.”

» TUESDAY, DEC. 17 | 7:30PM » FURMAN UNIVERSITY » $5-$35 PEACECENTER.ORG By many accounts, the Christmas season hasn’t really begun in Greenville until the big chorus sings.

The Greenville Chorale’s annual yuletide concert, now in its 38th year, is surely one of the longest-standing Christmas traditions in the community.

The 2019 “Christmas With the Chorale” performance takes place 7:30 p.m. Dec. 17 at Furman University’s McAlister Auditorium.

The 150-voice Chorale, under the direction of Bingham Vick Jr., will offer holiday favorites such as arrangements of “Jingle, Bells,” “White Christmas” and “The First Noel” as well as Benjamin Britten’s classic “Ceremony of Carols.”

“We all love this concert every year,” said Vick, the ensemble’s longtime conductor and music director. “The music is fun to sing, and the Chorale shares that fun with the audience. The festive atmosphere gives everyone a taste of joy like no other experience.”

“It brings the community together.”

'GROWN-UP CHRISTMAS LIST’

ICEONMAIN.COM 36

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // DECEMBER 13

The Chorale will be joined by two other ensembles: the High Point Academy Honors Concert Choir, conducted by Chase McAbee, and the Herring Chamber Ensemble, conducted by Vick.

The High Point choir will sing pieces by such composers as Kurt Bestor, Lari Goss and Dan Forrest.

The chamber ensemble, for its part, will offer a choral arrangement of “Grown-Up Christmas List,” a song widely recorded by such singers as Amy Grant, Kelly Clarkson and Barbra Streisand. The group also will sing “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch.”

CHORALE PREMIERE The Chorale will present a premiere as well: Lanny Lanford’s “Come and Worship” was written in honor of his mother,

Mary Ellen Lanford, who also happens to be the Chorale’s longest-serving member, having performed with the group for 55 years.

Guest conductor Merry Cox will lead the Chorale in “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.”

The soaring “First Noel” arrangement is

by Greenville-based composer Dan Forrest.

“It’s a beautiful setting,” Vick said. “Dan Forrest is well known, and his music is hard to beat.”

The Chorale will also feature a couple of arrangements by the much-loved British composer John Rutter, including his setting of “Go, Tell It on the Mountain.”

The music will be performed a cappella or with piano or harp accompaniment.

Nancy Smith serves as pianist for the concert. Harpist John Allen Wickey joins the Chorale for “Ceremony of Carols.”

TRADITION WITHIN TRADITION Within the tradition of the Chorale’s annual concert, other traditions abide.

The singalong of “The 12 Days of Christmas” has the audience hopping and bopping to the conductor’s directions: women sing, men sing, the balcony sings — and so on.

“The first time I did this, in the back of my mind, I was thinking, ‘Will the audience participate?’ But they really get into this, every year.”

Another Chorale tradition: Santa Claus is likely to make an appearance at the concert.

These shared holiday experiences are important for a community, Vick said.

“Especially in these days when there seems to be so much contention and dissension in our world, for us all to come together and celebrate the holiday spirit, and to join our voices in singing together, this is the experience we all need,” he said.

Greenville Theatre revives musical ‘A Christmas Carol’ after hiatus n story by GEORGIA GAY | show poster graphic by RYAN BRADBURN

After four years, the Greenville Theatre is bringing back a holiday classic. “A Christmas Carol” is set to run from Dec. 12-22.

Based on the age-old tale by Charles Dickens, the theater has put a special twist on the show by making it a musical.

None of the story has been changed, and the show still offers lessons about finding joy in life and helping one another.

“This is what everyone wants to see,” said Latreshia Lilly, who plays the Ghost of Christmas Present. “It is that time of year that is bubbly and joyous, so it just makes sense to perform this play.”

Carter Allen, a four-year resident actor, will play Scrooge. “This performance is

visually stunning and takes on a spooky, but fun side,” he said.

The ghosts are particularly striking, with great effects being implemented in the show. “All of the ghosts are being played by women, too, which is great and a good thing to explore, especially during the current times,” Lilly said.

Lilly said to expect catchy music in the performance with a great cast: “Just expect it to be a great show.”

Allen said he hopes this musical gives the audience the opportunity to get away and relax during what can be a stressful time of year.

All of the ghosts are being played by women, too, which is great and a good thing to explore, especially during the current times.”

-Latreshia Lilly, actress, Greenville Theatre

'A CHRISTMAS CAROL'

“It is a great story and captures the essence of the classic Dickens story where you’ll laugh but also have some gutwrenching moments,” he said of the show.

There will even be Christmas trees in the lobby, helping to establish the holiday mood.

Choice cuts for Christmas: A butcher shop’s holiday picks On cooking duty for Christmas this year?

Don’t fret.

We stopped by Revival Butchery in the Village of West Greenville, where master butcher Jeremy Webb schooled us on the best cuts of meat for that all-important Christmas dinner.

With five kids of his own under the age of 8, Webb knows the stress that comes with preparing the family’s holiday dinner. He also knows his meats, having worked in the butchering business since he was 16 years old.

In 2018, inspired by the classic family-run butcheries he experienced during his travels

in France, he started Revival Butchery on Pendleton Street, where he fuses old world techniques with modern creativity. Sure, he had to sell his classic ’71 Ford pickup to pay for the massive meat freezer in which his cuts are now on display, but in his words, “Oh man, was it worth it.”

Here are Webb’s can’t-lose picks for Christmas dinner.

ON THE FANCIER SIDE PRIME RIB ROAST Elegant and crowd-pleasing, a classic French-cut (meaning the bones are exposed) prime rib roast is a sure bet. Webb said the prime rib roast pairs great with all sorts of vegetables and perhaps a nice red wine sauce. Going with the French cut means you’ll have a few servings of gourmet ribs as well, perfect for finger food.

STUFFED TENDERLOIN The ultimate country club dish, a fine cut of tenderloin will make your family feel like a bunch of aristocrats for the

n story by EVAN PETER SMITH

night — perfect for when your judgmental in-laws are in town. Webb said the meat will be so tender, it won’t really matter what seasoning or vegetables you pack inside it. The result will be restaurantquality regardless.

BUDGET-FRIENDLY LAMB SHANKS Webb said this is the most underrated part of the lamb, and provides a surprisingly rich flavor. The shanks will also be a cheaper option than lamb chops. Simply season to your heart’s desire and slow cook the meat in a crock pot or the oven. You’ll be left with meat so tender it falls off the bone.

CROWN PORK ROAST The most carnivorous-looking dish you can find, the aptly named crown pork roast appears super fancy but really isn’t.

Essentially, it’s the fancy version of pork ribs. And, Webb said, it’s great for picky eaters and foodies alike.

TAKE A RISK PHEASANT Your grandparents may have fond memories of bringing home pheasant to cook for Sunday dinner, but for the modern eaters, this tasty bird is somewhat less understood.

Webb said a pheasant can be roasted just like a whole chicken, and is best served with roasted veggies. Just be sure to soak the bird in a brine overnight before roasting to keep it nice and juicy.

Molly and Myles Ice Cream dips into local, national ice cream scene

Tucked away next to the Regal Cherrydale movie theater is a quirky ice cream shop serving up ice cream cones made out of cereals such as Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Captain Crunch.

Molly and Myles Ice Cream has been serving Greenville since August 2018, with plans to open a second store where The Donut Experiment Greenville was previously.

Steve and Nicole O’Brien are the owners of the shop, and Nicole O’Brien is the mastermind behind the crazy concoctions. The O’Brien’s children, Molly and Myles, designed the shop.

The O’Brien family is originally from Chicago, where Steve O’Brien has an

-Steve O'Brien, owner, Molly and Myles Ice Cream award-winning burger restaurant called Burger Belly, which has been featured on TV and in print for Food Network. The restaurant can also be found at or near the top of many best burger lists in America.

When it comes to ice cream though, the children are in charge. “The store was designed by children, for children,” Steve O’Brien said.

Steve O’Brien says there is no adult supervision at all, allowing his children the artistic freedom to make the shop their own.

“My daughter wanted to have fidget spinners in the store, so there are 700 fidget spinners throughout the entire space where kids can play with them,” Steve O’Brien said.

Since its opening, Molly and Myles Ice Cream shop has already been awarded

It has also been recognized as one of the best ice cream shops in America by NBC’s “The Today Show.” O’Brien said the reason the shop was selected was because it isn’t just an ice cream shop, but an "amazing experience shop."

The cones are homemade and the shop uses four to five dairies at any given time. “We’re always changing them out seasonally and we curate our ice cream based on the flavors that our customers are asking for,” Steve O’Brien said.

Steve O’Brien says that while eating at Molly and Myles Ice Cream, customers will never experience ice cream fatigue. “We are always keeping it fresh and interesting.”

LITERATURE

New book offers step-by-step plan to be bolder and get out of "rock middle" n story by JOHN JETER | photo PROVIDED

Sitting with Sallie Holder in one of Greenville’s hip java joints, you don’t see the kid who worked a lemonade stand, went on to make and sell her own jewelry and went on to become a hotshot lawyer with a six-figure income. You also don’t see a recovering alcoholic, a life coach.

“We all know looks can be deceiving.

While smiling and confident on the exterior, Sallie had a secret: she was actually miserable living the life she’d chosen,” says the blurb for her upcoming book, “Hitting Rock Middle,” set to release in January 2020.

Holder was 14 when she started drinking. After graduating in 2001 with a degree in human and organizational development from Vanderbilt, she went on to earn her law degree from the University of South Carolina, then joined a global labor and

employment law firm. She’s worked with companies such as FedEx and Michelin.

In 2008, she won the Greenville Chamber’s Young Professional of the Year Award.

A hyper-achiever by 30, she was successful … practicing misery—at least, until she stepped away from a conference to take a call from a client. He screamed at her about a bill. She had enough.

That was six years ago.

“When you don’t listen to the internal markers, there’s a huge downward spiral,” she says. “So I ended up using alcohol to numb myself.”

She’d hit bottom. Then crawled back to “rock middle.”

“There’s no other term that I know of that identifies that middle, frustrating place where I just don’t love what I do,” she says.

I’m going to be so bold and say I’m authentic.

I’m honest. I’ll share every single bit of my ups and downs and everything I’ve learned along the way.”

“When you’re a highly driven person and you’re not paying attention to what fulfills you at all and that you’re going through life checking the external boxes of what other people define as success, which is what I did, you’ll end up in a place that maybe wasn’t meant for you.”

Now 40, she’s at a place that is meant for her. Now sober more than four years, she changed her LinkedIn profile last year. It now reads, “Speaker, Podcaster, Upcoming Author and Business Coach.”

On Jan. 14, M. Judson Books will play host to a party launching her book, which is earning marquee endorsements.

“This book is for every person who has sought happiness from success, only to realize the formula is flipped,” writes Kate Fagan, “New York Times” bestselling author and former ESPN writer.

“This book provides readers with the insight to begin to see their careers (and lives) from a new perspective.”

-Sallie Holder, author

So what differentiates Holder from the Tony Robbinses and Christian Mickelsens of the world?

“I’m going to be so bold and say I’m authentic. I’m honest. I’ll share every single bit of my ups and downs and everything I’ve learned along the way, and there are a lot of other people in this space that have never lived it,” she says.

Asked what she hopes happens next, she says after a remarkably long pause, “That desire, that dream you have within yourself, wouldn’t be there if it weren’t for you, and the book is your execution method to getting there.”

REMEMBERING

Mark Andrew Cason

Russell Leland Kelly

September 4, 1966 - November 27, 2019

June 30, 1941 - November 27, 2019

Mark Andrew Cason, 53, husband of Tracey Pitt Cason, went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, November 27, 2019.

Mr. Cason was born in Greenville to Annice Teresa Crosby Cason and the late William “Bill” Andrew Cason. He worked at DHL and formerly worked at Quality Carriers. He was the owner and operator of C.W. Solutions and Shippers Express.

He was an alumna of Southern Wesleyan University. Mark enjoyed wood-working and playing the bass-guitar. He was a member and Elder of Oak Pointe Baptist Church and formerly served as the choir director at Calvary Baptist Church. He was a huge Miami Dolphins fan.

Surviving, in addition to his wife and mother, are two daughters, Samantha Cason and Leigha Freeman and husband Tim; two sisters, Amanda Patton and husband Dan, and Jennifer Mansel and husband Carlus; and three granddaughters, Isabelle, Alyssa, and Emmalyn Freeman.

Russell Leland Kelly joined the Church Triumphant on Wednesday, November 27, 2019. He is survived by his wife, Helen Hoilman Shytle Kelly; three children, Sharon Kelly of Chantilly, VA; Katherine Kelly of Greenville, SC, and Daniel Kelly of Lilburn, GA; 2 step sons, James Shtyle of the home, and Clayton Shtyle of Playas de Tijuana, Mexico, 7 grandchildren, Destiny Shytle, Brendan Stohler, Lauren Stohler, Morgan Stohler, Eris Kelly, Fauna Kelly, and Leland Gwydian Kelly; and 2 great grandchildren, Stella Grace and Scarlett Hope.

Russ had many titles, but the ones he treasured were Christian, patriot, husband, father, son and friend. His adventurous spirit led to the nickname “Rambling Russ.”

Russ enjoyed many careers, including firefighter, Navy medic, and computer programmer. His career in computer programming began in 1962, and included writing a book on Y2K preparation. He toured South America to educate companies on Y2K preparation, drove buses in Yosemite National Park, as well as the Wall Street section of New York, and he drove thousands of miles throughout America for Peterbilt. His sense of adventure and patriotic nature led him to drive trucks in Iraq and Afghanistan when he was in his 60s, earning him the nickname “Geritol” among his fellow drivers overseas. He loved to

write, and wrote a “Rambling Russ” column in 2008 for Oconee Today.

Russ had an energy for life and loved to make others laugh. His generous heart, humorous writing, ability to laugh at himself, and good hearted pranks live on in his family and friends. He recently allowed his granddaughters to dye his hair pink and blue with permanent hair color, and fulfilled a goal at the age of 77 by sky diving.

A celebration of this wonderful life will be held at Seneca Presbyterian Church, 115 W.S. First Street, Seneca, SC at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, December 14, 2019.

Russ made life fun. He will be missed always.

The family wishes to thank the teams of Hospice of the Foothills, and the medical staff of Prisma Cancer Institute and Prisma Health System for their expert and compassionate care during his illness.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be sent to Seneca Presbyterian Church or to your favorite charity.

Help Us Save Them All This is the most important letter I have ever written in the 12 years that I have been managing Greenville County Animal Care.

Please read every word. I am going to tell you just how much your donation makes a difference in the lives of animals and why we need your help even more this coming year.

Since 2016, we have worked so hard together to build a no-kill, animal-loving community. Our goal has been to find homes for 90% or more of the animals in your shelter. In 2019, we have succeeded month after month. I am excited to tell you that we have met our goal this year with a combined life-saving rate of 90.5%! This is an extraordinary victory for animals. Please join us in shouting it from the rooftops and know that your support is what got us here.

Now that we are here, we are not stopping. Saving 90% of our community’s homeless animals is a worthy achievement and I thank you sincerely for doing your part to get us here. But saving lives is not a percentage. It can get more difficult as we become better at solving pet overpopulation.

While the number of homeless animals entering your shelter decreases, the ones who do end up here need more in-depth medical care and attention given to their special needs. They need behavior training, quality-of-life enrichment, and time to heal their physical and emotional wounds. They need us to find them special homes where people understand that they are not just pets. They are living creatures with powerful stories of how people like you working together with people like me can make an incredible difference in their lives.

I want to share a few of their stories so you can see where we need your help the most. Whether you donate money, volunteer, foster, or adopt, I am looking for your commitment today to help us help them find their forever home.

Buttered Up by an Itty Bitty Kitty Every spring and summer, your shelter is flooded with kittens. Those less than 4 weeks old are at the greatest risk because they do not have the ability to care for themselves. They need a mom to help them grow up. However, hundreds of small kittens enter Greenville County Animal Care without a mother.

Butter was an orphaned kitten when we met him. He was just 3 days old and had little to no chance of survival without help.

That help came in the form of a foster mom who bottle fed and raised Butter.

Three months after entering our doors, a little boy adopted Butter. He loves her the way all animals need to be loved.

From Unknown Past to Certain Love in the Future We are not sure where Bayou called home before she came here, but we do know that her road to a new home is complicated. When Bayou entered Animal Care, we were saddened to discover a very deep cut across the back of her neck and a serious eye injury. Our staff veterinarians were able to perform surgery to remove her eye. You saved Bayou’s life by supporting Greenville County Animal Care. She and many others like her will be in a home by Christmas because of friends like you.

We can save the dogs and cats in Greenville County that we have not been able to save before. Be their champion by making a commitment to donate. If you cannot donate, give what you can and pledge to help another way. We always need volunteers, fosters and adoptive homes. Spread the word. Saving animals is a powerful life experience and every day heroes surround me. You, my friend, can be one of them.

My deepest thanks,

Shelly Simmons, CAWA & Your Shelter Manager Donate to keep Greenville County a no-kill community.
