SPIRITS OF THE DARK CORNER Still sites are a remnant of Greenville County’s hardscrabble past

THE MYSTERIES OF GREENVILLE County’s Dark Corner are legion when it comes to moonshining as a cash lifeline for hardscrabble settlers in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Recently, a new one unraveled in a gated upscale

community built among those stills of yesteryear. Who stripped clean the remnants of several still sites along about 12 miles of a hiking trail at the Cliffs community of Mountain Park? And why? The cleansing escaped the attention of the partnership that owns unsold

land in the community and controls the property owners’ association. Upon some checking, Richard Hubbell, a Cliffs employee and a member of the Mountain Park POA board, learned the historic sites were cleared by a landscaper under direction of Carlton Property Services, the paid manager of the POA.

That cleared up who ordered the scrubbing. The “why” was not explained. Scott Carlton, president of Carlton and president of the Cliffs Clubs & Hospitality Group, did not return telephone requests for comment. CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

Council gets first look at plan for proposed city park

The proposed plan for Greenville's new downtown park.

something consultants said could fit on the south side off the parking area in the plan. They said they’d also like to see less asphalt and suggested some parking might be moved to cityowned land outside the park’s

boundaries. The plan includes 400 parking spaces, a number a consultant said was too many. One council member cautioned about cutting parking too much. “Planning for ample parking is important. Look at Cleveland

Park,” said Amy Ryberg Doyle. Some of the discussion centered on whether a community garden should be included in the park or moved to nearby city-owned land closer to the neighborhoods. White urged people to try to

help the city obtain the warehouses near the park site. “The biggest threat to the park is the wrong kind of commercialization near the site,” he said. CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

Mayor Knox White said the biggest threat to a proposed city park on land where the city’s public works facility now sits is the “wrong kind of commercialization” on surrounding land and the possible sale of nearby warehouses. During a work session Monday afternoon, the City Council got its first look at a plan crafted by consultants on what the 22-acre site along the banks of the Reedy River near the Kroc Center could look like. The plan might have a great lawn where people could listen to concerts and throw a football with their kids. It could shift the popular Swamp Rabbit Trail to the north side of the Reedy River, separating park activities from the bicyclists, runners and walkers who are using the trail. It could have a splash pad for kids to play in, a baseball field/ multipurpose field that is repositioned to keep the sun out of players’ eyes and a destination playground. Consultants said they are working on cost estimates for the plan and will reveal phasing possibilities at the project’s next public meeting. The city’s public works facility would have to be moved for the park to be built. The city has already bought 33 acres on Fairforest Way for its relocation, but a timetable for the move hasn’t been determined. At Monday’s meeting, some city council members said they want the park to have basketball courts,

OPINION VOICES FROM YOUR COMMUNITY, HEARD HERE

FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

Keep ads off school buses It leaves no doubt how much consumerism dominates our society that the state Legislature would consider even for a moment permitting advertisers to hawk their products to a captive audience of children riding a school bus. More appalling, it appears nary a doubt crossed the mind of state Superintendent Mick Zais, either, who told the Associated Press through a spokesman that he supports the idea as a “local control issue.” It’s encouraging when any state bureaucrat or politician champions a concept as endangered as local control. But this looks more like Zais trying to sidestep culpability for serving up South Carolina students to corporate advertising interests. The state Senate has included a clause in its proposed 2013-14 budget to allow ads on the exterior and interior of district-owned buses that take students to athletic events and other extracurricular activities. Ads would still be barred from the familiar yellow buses that transport students to and from school. One of the clause’s champions is Sen. Wes Hayes of Rock Hill, where school leaders began selling ads on service vehicles more than a year ago. So far, the Rock Hill district has sold six ads at prices ranging from $1,000 to $4,500 a year, the AP reported. District officials predict a revenue potential of $85,000 with all 50 service vehicles in play – enough to hire two first-year teachers, they said. There’s no question school districts are strapped for revenue, especially coming off the budget cuts delivered by the hard years of the recession. Hayes points out the Senate proviso bans districts from selling ads that promote an ideology, candidate or cause, products harmful to children or anything of a sexual nature. School boards would set their own advertising parameters within those limits, he told the AP. It still amounts to offering South Carolina students up to the highest bidder. Companies salivate at the prospect of school bus advertising specifically because the audience is young, impressionable and guaranteed. Young riders can’t demand a different bus if they or their parents prefer their school trips commercial-free. There are no channels to switch or websites to block; just a lucrative busload of consumers-in-training. School districts must never forget that anything they advertise on a school bus conveys an implicit endorsement. Presumably tobacco and alcohol ads are forbidden. What about junk food and sodas? Is childhood obesity harmful enough to ban those? Districts high-minded enough to forbid junk food ads might still allow McDonald’s or Burger King to put logos over an ad that says ‘stay in school.’” Way to build brandname recognition at a tender age. What’s next? Ads in textbooks? Digital billboards on elementary schools? How about logos in school cafeterias and naming rights on school buildings? School districts are trying that now in California and Massachusetts. Seriously, where will it end? It’s precisely because students are so bombarded with advertising from all directions that school districts must resist all attempts at commercial indoctrination. How will young people learn that life is about more than just how much stuff they can buy if their own school districts offer them for sale?

Foster children need your help Over the past two years as the director of the Greenville County Department of Social Services, I have witnessed many positive changes at DSS. One of our greatest accomplishments is that we have seen positive permanency for 126 children. Many of those children have reunited with their families and some were adopted. However, one issue that continues to be a challenge for child welfare in South Carolina is the need for additional resource families. Greenville County currently has over 280 children in foster care. While that number is less than it was in 1988, our growth rate of resource families has not increased enough to meet the needs of these beautiful children. You may ask, “What happens to children that we do not have resource families for in our community?” There is no standard or perfect answer to that question because each case is different. Most of the time, if our resource families are filled to capacity or the resource families cannot meet the needs of the child/ children in their care, these children are then placed out of county or in non-family settings. Foster care is very difficult for the children and their families. When children are removed from their homes, they are often removed from their communities and separated from friends, other family members and siblings. This is in addition to the separation from their parents and the trauma of the abuse or neglect they have experienced. These stressors are enough to break most adults, so imagine the tender threads of childhood being frayed by this experience. The second question I am frequently asked is, “What can I do to help?” My answer is quite simple: Be-

IN MY OWN WORDS by KEITH FRAZIER

come a licensed resource family (if you are not already), or encourage others to take this leap of faith and help others through this difficult process. Yes, I said difficult process, because each of us knows loving and caring for children can be very challenging – but it is worth every grey hair and every stress line we adults might develop in the process. Resource families are very special people who recognize the special needs of children living in troubled families. They recognize that fostering a child is a temporary arrangement that can make a positive impact in the lifetime of that child. With an investment of time, energy, love, and guidance, resource families can make a difference in the lives of children and their parents. May is National Foster Care Month. It is a time for our community to recognize the outstanding job that all of our resource families do every day. However, it is also a time for us to understand that these precious children deserve more than they are getting from our community. We need more resource families that can serve as mentors and resources for these children and families. All 280 of the children in Greenville County foster care deserve the best foster care experience they can receive. Why don’t you assist with helping? If you know of anyone who would like more information in becoming a licensed resource family, please encourage them to call Heart Felt Calling at 888828-3555.

Keith Frazier is director of the Greenville County Department of Social Services.

Duke releases lake management proposal Plan calls for $1 million for Nine Times Tract, changes to Oconee Nuclear Station Oconee Nuclear Station would be modified so it could operate with lower lake levels during times of severe drought, a $1 million Duke Energy contribution would allow preservation of an important tract of mountain land, and recreation areas on Lakes Jocassee and Keowee would be improved under a plan revealed by the utility Wednesday. The land management plan is part of Duke Energy’s effort to get its license for the Keowee-Toxaway hydroelectric project – which includes the Jocassee and Keowee hydroelectric stations and the two lakes– renewed for up to 50 more years. Duke’s license to operate Keowee-Toxaway expires in August 2016. The utility said it has been working with a team of public stakeholders for three years to come up with an agreement in principle designed to balance sometimes competing stakeholder interests by outlining hydroelectric operations, lake level management,

recreational amenities and regional drought response for the next three to five decades. The agreement in principle was revealed during a public open house held at Clemson University Wednesday afternoon. The agreement is non-binding and subject to change. Stakeholder team members are discussing the agreement with their constituencies to determine their level of support. Duke will ask team members to sign the agreement in July and indicate their level of consensus on a five-point scale. The agreement will then be transferred into a binding relicensing agreement scheduled to be signed in November. The agreement would allow Lake Keowee to be dropped to 10 feet below full pond and Lake Jocassee 30 feet under extreme drought conditions. The agreement says both lakes would be drawn down together and that it would stop releases from Keowee to meet downstream water needs once Duke’s useable storage reaches 12 percent. During normal conditions, Jocassee could be lowered 14 feet and Keowee a maximum of four feet. Duke also agrees to provide $500,000 for initiatives to improve water quantity planning and management in the Savannah

River basin within two years of the issuance of the license and the end of all appeals and administrative challenge periods. Under the agreement, Duke would provide $1 million so Naturaland Trust can buy 1,648 acres of the Nine Times Tract in northern Pickens County. The land is owned by Crescent Resources, a former real estate subsidiary of Duke. The utility would also give $600,000 to the Oconee County Conservation Bank and another $500,000 to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources for construction of an observation tower, interpretive signage and restrooms at Sassafras Mountain. In the agreement in principle, Duke agrees to build a new courtesy dock at the main ramps and a designated area for divers at Devils Fork State Park, add 25 acres to the Double Springs campground, provide toilet and 12 additional campsites there, and lease it to the DNR. At Keowee-Toxaway State Park, Duke agrees to develop camping and non-motorized boating facilities at the 15-acre lake, connect the park to municipal water, pave an access road to a new primitive camping area and construct 10 primitive campsites, three camping cabins, a canoe/kayak launch, an

event area, an outdoor gathering space with a fire pit, two bathhouses and a fishing pier. The utility also agrees to designate High Falls II and Mosquito Point for future public recreation needs. In addition, Duke agrees to offer low-cost leases to the DNR for the Licklog (46 acres), Dismal Creek (21 acres), Fishers Knob (45 acres) and the Laurel Preserve (500 acres) tracts of land during the new license period. The utility also will give the DNR the opportunity to purchase the Jocassee East, Laurel Preserve, Bad Creek South, Jocassee Spillway, Licklog and Dismal Creek tracts if it determines it no longer needs the properties. Banks would be open for fishing except in areas needed for safety and user conflict management and islands would be made available for public recreation use. Commercial marinas would only be allowed on Lake Keowee’s “big water” and not in the narrower portions of Cane Creek, Crooked Creek, Stamp Creek or Crow Creek. No commercial marinas would be allowed on Lake Jocassee. The full agreement in principle is available for review at bit.ly/dukeagreement. CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

Dark Corner White Lightnin’ Artifacts or eyesores? The remnants of still sites help tell the history of Greenville County

throughout the northeastern corner of Greenville County, where early Scots-Irish and borderland England immigrants settled in mountains not unlike the highlands of their ancestral homes. Bryan Tankersley, principal owner of Dark Corner Films of Greenville and producer of the popular documentary “Dark Corner,” which was set in Glassy Mountain, said anyone who has traipsed through the areas he traveled with his film crew likely will come upon a still site.

Still Debris ‘All Over the Cliffs’ “There are still sites on every single creek

of that mountain, every single creek,” he said of Glassy Mountain, which is east of the Mountain Park community. Of the eight Cliffs communities, six are located in or near what was considered the Dark Corner with Glassy Mountain being the center of the moonshine economy. Two are in North Carolina, one of which, High Carolina above Asheville, has not been developed. Tankersley said there are still sites “all over the Cliffs” and many property owners have them on their land. He had no knowledge or opinion on the cleared Mountain Park sites, but said

PHOTO PROVIDED

The vanished debris sites were brought to the Journal’s attention by a hiker who photographed debris of distilleries off one of the several trails of the 5,000-acre Mountain Park landscape (former sites identified above). The still debris was off the trail when the hiker walked it in December, but gone by a return trip in March. (The hiker declined to be identified, citing sensitivities of relationships with Mountain Park property owners.) This person believes it might have been “the densest collection of still sites in the Dark Corner” and that the rusted barrels, pipes, hoops and broken glass should have been left in their natural state for historic and cultural value. Remnants of still sites are common

he understands the inherent conflict between those who view the debris as “an environmental hazard and others who say they all should be preserved.” Dean Campbell, who was associate producer and lead storyteller for the film, has earned the title “Squire of Dark Corner” for his passion for tracing, telling and preserving the history and culture of the Dark Corner settlers. His ancestors are among them, going back eight generations in and around Landrum, Gowensville and Glassy Mountain. When the people who settled the Dark Corner came here, “they brought with them the firm conviction that they had back in the old country that man has a God-given, inalienable right to make his own ‘water of life,’” Campbell said. “They called it whiskey in the Scottish Highlands and Lowlands, in Northern Ireland’s Ulster, and particularly in the borderlands of England and Scotland.”

‘Cash on the Barrelhead’ With no access to patented medicine, the homemade brew was “No. 1, important because of the medicinal value,” he said. “No. 2, it was part of social interaction. But the big story of moonshining in this area was the economic situation. It was the only way families in these mountains could come by cash money.” In the late 1700s and early 1800s, the mountain settlers, who did not benefit from the plantation economy, bartered for goods and services. But, Campbell said, with a ready supply of water, a corn crop and crude stills, they could distill the corn, mix it with “other ingredients you bartered for,” and sell the whiskey for up to a $1 a gallon, which meant making $1.50 to $2 on a bushel of corn rather than 50 or 60 cents at the market.

Joe Fenten (above, left) and Richard Wenger hold historic photos of two families from Greenville County’s Dark Corner in the store and museum located in the front of the Dark Corner Distillery on Main Street in Greenville. The pair are trying to help preserve the history of the Dark Corner while making and selling fine distilled spirits. (Right) The still in the museum portion of the Dark Corner Distillery is more than 100 years old and once was used in the Dark Corner.

The settlers needed “cash on the barrelhead” to pay their annual taxes because there was no bartering with the government, he said. Moonshiners also used barrels, common in their rusted-out hulks at still sites, to age the white lightnin’ in order to improve the medicinal value, Campbell said. “The inside of barrels would be burned to be like charcoal. You put white lightnin’ into the barrels and bury it underground to age, so it not only has a better flavor but mixes better with herbs and spices for medicinal purposes. It turns a light brown color, like a light bourbon.”

City Slickers Exaggerated Violence

The “Dark Corner” identification predates the heavily publicized battles between moonshiners and federal revenuers that made Greenville’s mountains notorious as the nation’s moonshine capital. Based on research by Joe Fenton, who established South Carolina’s first legal distillery (Dark Corner Distillery) on Main Street in Greenville, an angry Sen. John C. Calhoun once vowed, “The light will never shine on that dark corner.” Calhoun turned on the Irish and Scottish settlers because they sided with President Andrew Jackson over nullification. It was a precursor to the Civil War three decades later.

“The big story of moonshining in this area was the economic situation. It was the only way families in these mountains could come by cash money.” “The area was very much a part of Appalachia. There were fights, blood feuds, hot tempers with hot lead and violence; these were always reported in media. What seldom was mentioned was that the Gowensville area was the cultural center of the upper part of Upstate counties for many years, with the Gowensville Seminary being the foremost educational institution for over 30 years.”

MOONSHINE HAS NEW APPEAL Half of state’s licensed microdistilleries are located in the Upstate John Connelly has a love of fine whiskey, a trait that goes back for generations in his family. He also loves a good story, especially one that involves the Dark Corner, the area around Glassy Mountain in the northeastern corner of Greenville County, and moonshine, the homemade whiskey that got its name because it was distilled in the moonlight so smoke would not be visible to federal “revenuers” searching for illegal stills. So when Connelly decided to join a growing list of microdistillers in South Carolina and the Upstate that make legal moonshine, he decided Travelers Rest was the ideal place to locate Copperhead Mountain Distillery. “Travelers Rest was the right place to open,” he said. “This was the hotbed of moonshining.”

MICRODISTILLERIES IN SOUTH CAROLINA: – Can sell no more than 3,750-ml bottles to a consumer in one day – Can not sell store goods, wares or merchandise in the same room where alcohol is sold or tasted – Must label bottles “not for resale” – Must produce a maximum of 125,000 cases per year – Must pay $5,000 for a biennial license

Copperhead Mountain is one of four microdistilleries in the Upstate and one of eight located in South Carolina. “I think moonshine was something

that kept America alive during the hard times of the Depression and Prohibition,” Connelly said. “The building I’m in was a judge’s office and a doctor’s office and I know for a fact that some people actually paid these guys with moonshine.” All of the state’s microdistilleries have opened since 2009, when South Carolina passed legislation that drastically cut the fees that smaller distilleries had to pay. The first microdistillery to open was Dark Corner Distillery on Greenville’s Main Street. There are two microdistilleries in Anderson County: Palmetto Moonshine and Six & Twenty Distillery. Two of the state’s other distilleries are in the Charleston area: Terressentia Corp. in Ladson and Firefly Distillery on Wadmalaw Island. The Charleston Post and Courier has reported at least two more microdistilleries could open in Charleston by the end of the year. Tiger Juice Distilleries is in Hartsville, while Black Sheep Distillery has opened in Columbia. South Carolina is not alone in the increase of microdistilleries. According to the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States, the number of microdistilleries in the United States doubled to 180 from January 2010 to September 2012. The organization says there are more than 250 craft distillers operating today and the number is expected to rise as states update laws and regulations, the popularity of television shows such as “Moonshiners” increases and the proliferation of flavored moonshine rises. Connelly, for instance, will begin offering peach moonshine as soon as Memorial Day. He’s sent for federal approval of other flavors such as apple pie, cinnamon, banana, blueberry and strawberry that he hopes to be selling in the fall in addition to his clear corn whiskey, his brown corn whiskey, a white

rum and a gold rum. Connelly, who was taught to make whiskey by a third-generation Glassy Mountain moonshiner, said he’s able to combine a century-old recipe with modern technology to make a hand-crafted artisan liquor. “The big distilleries crank out more in a half hour than I do in a year,” he said. “We take a lot of pride in what we do. We make the smoothest-tasting 100-proof alcohol you’ll ever taste.” He’s using three 30-gallon Tennessee fatboy stills now and will soon add another. CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

Altera decision to be appealed in court Though developer Eric Kaufmann has withdrawn a flexible review district (FRD) rezoning request for a condo development on Paris Mountain earlier this month, he retains preliminary approval to construct a 74-unit single-family home development, called Altera, on approximately 45 acres off Altamont Road. The initial approval of the Altera development by the Greenville County Planning Commission in 2012 is the subject of a court appeal scheduled to be considered next month. Plaintiffs are listed as James Sheets and Kathy LaRoux against defendant Greenville County Planning Commission. The appeal maintains that the planning commission should have given the subdivision proposal special review because it, like the condo development, would be located in a special district: the Paris Mountain-Environmentally Sensitive District (PM-ESD). In addition, the appeal says that the commission should not have approved the request because a development with an on-site wastewater

treatment plant should not be constructed in the PM-ESD. The county should not have granted the transfer of development rights allowing Kaufmann to increase the density because the density is inappropriate for the PM-ESD district, the appeal said. In response, Greenville County argued for dismissal in a brief filed in 13th Circuit Court, saying the appeal should not be heard at all because the court lacks jurisdiction over the planning commission’s decision and the plaintiffs lack standing to appeal the decision. The county maintains the commission appropriately considered the application, and made as a condition of final approval that applicants submit the preliminary engineering report for the proposed on-site wastewater treatment facility to the Appalachian Council of Governments (ACOG), Renewable Water Resources (ReWa) and SC Department of Health and Environmental Control (SCDHEC) for approval. Paris Mountain residents and other groups strongly protested

Kaufmann’s application for rezoning to an FRD for the condo complex earlier this year. The residents argued that a new development would exponentially increase the traffic on Altamont Road and would not fit into the character of the area. Residents also feared an on-site wastewater treatment facility could replicate problems created by failure of a similar system at Altamont Forest in the late 1990s. The Altamont Forest system was poorly maintained and later abandoned, resulting in sewage leaking into streams that fed one of Paris Mountain State Park’s lakes. At this time, Altera is at the same point it was before the FRD application. It is still awaiting approval of the on-site wastewater treatment plant from SCDHEC, ACOG and ReWa. According to the attorney for the plaintiffs, Audrey Pasin, the court appeal is scheduled to be considered in mid-June. APRIL A. MORRIS | STAFF

Poe Mill cleanup slated The Poinsett Corridor Revitalization Coalition has won an Environmental Protection Agency grant to begin redeveloping Poe Mill, the coalition announced this week. After clearing the Piedmont Shirt Factory site along Poinsett Highway in April and preparing that site for development, the coalition is ready to tackle Poe Mill, county officials say. The Greenville County Redevelopment Authority (GCRA) owns the former Poe Mill site and sought EPA funding four years ago so it could clear the property and begin redevelopment, said GCRA Chairman David Doser. With the help of several public and private partners, GCRA has secured $800,000 in EPA funding to begin the cleanup process at the Poe Mill parking lot and former his-

torical plaza, he said. The Brownsfield Grant includes funding to provide for voluntary environmental assessments of nearby property, where redevelopment could be complicated by the presence of hazardous substances near the site. Assessments will allow owners and potential buyers to evaluate potential land uses and hopefully reduce cost barriers to redevelopment, officials said. “We in the community are excited,” said Kwadjo Campbell, Poe Mill Neighborhood Association president, in a press release. “We are grateful to the GCRA and the many partners for sticking with this issue. This project will be a catalyst for the revitalization of the Poe Mill community.” Cleanup at Poe Mill is expected to begin this fall.

The 580-acre Riverbend Shoals tract along the Saluda River and Mountain Creek near Honea Path is now part of the lands protected by Upstate Forever.

1913

Upstate Forever, a local land conservation nonprofit, typically adds protected land to its land trust through owners donating property that will be preserved and free from development in a conservation easement. However, breaking a funding dry spell of more than four years created by reduced budgets, the South Carolina Conservation Bank (SCCB) was able to assist Upstate Forever in protecting more than 600 acres in Pickens and Greenville counties, the nonprofit announced this week. A 37-acre property, called Grant Meadow Tract One, lies below the face of Table Rock along SC Highway 11 and is a favorite spot for photographers or visitors to stop and capture the rock face. According to Upstate Forever, the protected piece is one-third of the meadow and also includes a pond and land along Carrick

Creek, an Oolenoy River tributary. Along the Saluda River and Mountain Creek near Honea Path, a 580-acre tract called Riverbend Shoals was also preserved. The Riverbend Shoals tract has wildlife habitat and river frontage along the popular Saluda River. “The more than two miles of river frontage is its most remarkable feature,” said Erin Knight, Upstate Forever’s land trust program director. Many conservation easements are donated, added Knight, but sometimes funding from the SCCB can help landowners who may not be in a position to totally donate their land. Landowners may apply through a land trust, like Upstate Forever, to be considered by SCCB, she said. APRIL A. MORRIS | STAFF

An artist's rendering of playground equipment planned for the Downtown Airport Park.

Downtown Airport Park receives donation, holds fundraiser Work on a park located at the Greenville Downtown Airport is progressing, with an amphitheater, grass, fencing, paved paths dubbed “Perimeter Taxiway” and walking “Runways” already complete. Plus, the Airport Park received a boost from Greenville County with $10,000 in funding, airport officials announced this week. The county funding, along with other donations, will help to add aviationthemed playground equipment and a picnic pavilion, officials said. This weekend, the downtown airport will also hold a fundraiser, the Take Flight 5K, which allows runners and walkers to “take off ” from an airport runway – a place that has never hosted a race before. The race will be held on May 25 and is open to all ages. The airport park was created in answer to a need for exposing aviation to children and visitors, an opportunity that vanished when tours ended following 9/11. The airport receives many requests from large groups for visits, but cannot accommodate them, said public relations director Lara Kaufmann. The new park will be open to the public and can host sizeable groups. It can also boost the local economy by encouraging visitors to pursue aviation-related careers that are needed in the Upstate, Kaufmann said. “We believe that exposure to aviation may inspire kids to become pilots or enter career fields such as engineering, air traffic control, aircraft maintenance or CNC machinist,” she said. “All of these are high-paying jobs that will need to be filled locally.”

The Upstate’s own 32-year-old festival Freedom Weekend Aloft floats forward as the reimagined Aloft, May 24-27 at Heritage Park in Simpsonville. This year’s festival will feature 80 hot air balloons May 24-27 from 6 to 8 p.m. and May 25 and 27 from 7 to 9 a.m. In addition, attendees have the opportunity to ride in a tethered hot air balloon on festival grounds. Festivalgoers will also have the chance to see performances from Kip Moore, Andy Grammer, Corey Smith, Third Eye Blind and 50 other bands on four stages. As part of the event’s re-engineering, large pools have been brought in for stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking demonstrations, organizers say. Attendees also will have the opportunity to zipline, take painting classes from Sassy Pants, watch stand-up comedy and patriotic tributes, fly RC airplanes and fly in a helicopter. To add to the sense of adventure, Terrapin Beer Company will have Gibbon Slacklines open to the public. Slacklining is the act of balancing along a narrow, flexible piece of webbing which is low to the ground and anchored between two trees – but more experienced slackliners can do tricks and jumps on them, organizers say. Sixteen professional slackliners

from around the world will be at Aloft to compete for cash prizes. In addition, there will be a craft beer experience featuring local breweries and beer from across the Southeast. More than 40 varieties of craft beer will be on tap to try in 3-ounce samples or in whole bottles. On May 27 at 8 a.m., the Crazy KOW 5K will take place to raise awareness and funds for Greenville’s Center for Developmental Services. Visitors also need to note security changes. Following the Boston Marathon explosions, Aloft will not allow backpacks or large tote bags inside the festival. Baby bags and bags carrying medical equipment are allowed, as are purses no larger than 12 inches in any dimension, but they will be screened by event staff. Fold-up chairs for use at concerts will also be allowed, but they must be removed from their carriers for inspection. Blankets can be brought in, but they must be unfolded for screening staff. Tickets may be purchased at the festival gates for $12 before 4 p.m. and $15 after 4 p.m. Children 12 and under are admitted free. For more information, visit aloft.org. JEANNE PUTNAM | CONTRIBUTOR

FROM THE MAY 20 MEETING

Greenville residents won’t pay higher taxes under a proposed 2013-14 budget that won initial approval from the Greenville City Council Monday night. It is the 18th straight year the city has not raised property taxes. However, wastewater fees will increase 5 percent if the budget wins final approval, while stormwater fees would go up 2.1 percent. Admission to the Greenville Zoo would also increase $1 for adults. City officials say the $131 million city budget reflects an improving economy as the city is seeing business license revenue creeping up, an increase in building permits and growing hospitality tax revenue collected from restaurants. The budget includes nearly $3.4 million for vehicle and equipment replacement and purchase, $410,000 for technology improvements that will allow citizens to do more government business online and increase efficiency of city departments, and $231,250 for the “Yeah, That Greenville” campaign designed to promote Greenville to visitors. The budget also includes money to refresh landscaping on Interstate 385 coming into Greenville. A Clemson shuttle and the six positions needed to run it are also included. About

half of the budget will go to public safety. Second reading of the budget and the city’s Capital Improvement Program is set for June 10. In other business, the council gave initial approval to a food truck ordinance that would allow food trucks to park on private property closer than 250 feet away from an open restaurant if the restaurant doesn’t object. An initial recommendation by a food truck task force – which included restaurant owners but no food truck operators – had prohibited food trucks from locating within the 250-foot restriction. Angie Prosser, the city’s director of public information and special events, said food truck operators had input into and were in “total support” of the revised ordinance. The revised proposal also would allow food trucks on streets and public property if approved by the city as part of a permitted special event, contracted with the city’s parks and recreation department or parked in a city-designated food truck parking space within assigned dates and times. Designated food truck parking spaces will be identified after the ordinance receives final approval, Prosser said. Food truck operators would be required

to pay $500 for a mobile food vendor decal and would be permitted to locate in areas of the city that are not zoned residential. There are two food trucks operating in the city now, but Prosser said more are expected. In other action, Council gave initial approval to a $1.2 million project that will improve access and signage at Heritage Green. The county provided the money, while the city will award the contract and manage the project. The work includes an electronic sign at the main vehicular entrance to Heritage Green off College Street, and two secondary entrance signs to the campus at College and Academy streets and at Buncombe and Atwood streets. The project also includes landscape improvements, way-finding signs and minor walkway and lighting changes. The work could be done in October if bids being reviewed now are accepted. Council also gave initial approval to OOBE using the terrace at RiverPlace for company events. When the company is not using the terrace, it will be available for public use. The next regular meeting of Greenville City Council will be June 10 at 5:30 p.m. in Council Chambers on the 10th floor of City Hall. CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

Inman applied and about a month later was on her way to southern India. Her 11-day trip last October was the first step in a four-year commitment that includes annual return visits, monthly conference calls and weekly emails with professionals from nine YMCAs in southern India. “In India, the YMCA is heavily dependent on international philanthropy,” Inman said. “They know that they have people who care and have resources, but they don’t know how to tap into that passion. The idea of asking someone for help is difficult for them, even if that help is for someone else.” Inman secured from a donor in Greenville $2,500 to pay for her travel, an expense that the Asia Pacific YMCA would have had to cover otherwise. When she contacted the president of the Asia Pacific YMCA to tell him and request that money be given to the YMCAs she would be working with, his response caught her off guard. “He said, ‘Thank them for helping people they have never met. I am not familiar with that concept,’” she said. “It really showed me that they weren’t used to giving to help people they didn’t know.” The YMCAs Inman is working with concentrate on meeting basic needs. One program helped build homes after the tsunami; others teach people how to be farmers, beekeepers and fishermen so they can make a living. YMCAs provide

schools for the mentally challenged and the hearing impaired; they also run hostels for men with mental or physical challenges who are shunned by society because they are different, Inman said. The most urgent needs are for things that people in the United States take for granted – working toilets in schools; batteryoperated lights so children in after-school programs can do homework during daily power outages; basic living conditions for men in residency programs. “I’ve never seen that kind of poverty firsthand before,” Inman said. “They’re just glad to have clothes and some food to eat. When you see people living like that, it really makes you think about the waste we experience every day and the priority we place on things.” She said the poverty was evident as soon as she stepped off the plane in Trivandrum. “The stench was overwhelm-

ing. The smell was on the edge of rot. It’s really a poverty you can’t prepare for and you can’t forget.” The YMCAs she is working with have raised $85,000 of their combined $125,000 goal. Four of the nine have already met their initial target, she said. The goal included the full amount of money the individual YMCAs need to implement their programs, Inman said. When Inman goes back in October, she’ll teach the YMCAs about major gifts and further penetration into their communities. “We’ll be working with their people on ongoing relationships,” said Inman, who will show the Indian fundraisers how to have those conversations with potential donors by going on a few calls with them. Inman said she is targeting companies that have a presence in India and the United States and asking them to create a pool of matching funds so the money raised by the Indian YMCAs will be doubled. Inman said similar programs are being done in northern India, Sri Lanka and the Philippines. If the pilots are successful, the YMCA would like to expand the program to Thailand, Singapore, Japan and Bangladesh. “I hope my efforts will lead to positive change,” she said. “I know my efforts may only affect 0.5 percent of 100 percent of what INMAN needs to be changed, but what if everyone did that? Being able to help facilitate change in some small way in an area of great need pulled at my heart.” CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

This summer, families looking for a shady spot can punctuate trips to the pool and the playground with a cool stop at the library for books, DVDs and more. The Greenville County Library System is aiming to get even more children and adults reading this summer – including the youngest ones who are simply listening to stories or just recognizing letters. This is the second year the library system is offering summer reading for babies, a program designed to help babies develop readiness for reading and writing, said youth services manager Karen Allen. Parents may read to their infants and do other early literacy activities, log the activities and receive a board book after 40 are completed, she added. Just being exposed to books and language creates an impact, Allen said. “If they don’t understand the content, they’re still getting the vocabulary and how the language works just from listening.” The point is to develop a foundation for literacy so children will be ready to read when they start school, she continued. When it comes to recognizing or learning to read new words, a child who has the word in his verbal vocabulary has an advantage over one who does not, she said. “The more you can read to them and have them familiar with the way language works, it’s a lot easier for them” when it comes to learning to read, Allen said. Summer reading officially kicks off on May 31 and all ages may participate in the books-and-bikes-themed program, Allen said. Last year, more than 15,000 residents were part of summer reading, logging the books read and taking part in performances, crafts and activities at the 12 library branches. Throughout the summer, readers log what titles they’ve read and qualify for

Greenville Run for One to benefit Boston victims June 12 event proceeds go to The One Fund Boston Greenville has a special connection to Boston through its Red Sox Class A affiliate baseball team. That bond will strengthen through a new event in June. On June 12, Upstate residents can participate in the Greenville Run for One, a 2.62mile run/walk fundraiser to support victims of the April 15 Boston Marathon bombing. Proceeds from the event will be given to The One Fund Boston, the official central fund for families affected by the bombing, and distributed to families on June 30. The 2.62-mile distance is a nod to the 26.2-mile marathon length, said event director J.J. Swartz. “We want as many participants as possible, and 2.62 miles is a manageable distance for most people to run or walk,” he said. Local businesses have donated much of the materials and logistical services to help keep costs down and more money going to the fund, Swartz said. Run organizers also offer a remote runner option where out-of-town participants may register and receive a T-shirt and bib. This will allow runners or walkers to participate wherever they may be, he said. For the evening event, runners and walkers will begin at the Caine Halter YMCA and make their way through Cleveland Park, finishing at Fluor Field. The route also features a local version of the Boston Marathon’s “Heartbreak Hill.” Participants receive a free ticket and may stay at Fluor Field to catch the baseball game as the Greenville Drive plays the Charleston River Dogs. A shuttle from County Square will return runners to the YMCA after the game. Drive players will also honor Boston by wearing jerseys with “Boston” written

on the front in the Red Sox style, along with a “B Strong” patch on the sleeve. The commemorative jerseys will be auctioned off online to also benefit The One Fund Boston. Organizers are determining additional ways the community can donate, said Swartz, who is also an event media specialist with emediagroup. Emediagroup produces runner bibs for a variety of race events and has worked with the company that handles logistics for the Boston Marathon and other New England races, Swartz said. Bill Bishop, co-owner of emediagroup, said in a statement, “We’ve been blessed to work with the DMSE [Dave McGillivray Sports Enterprises] team on their race bibs over the years. We knew immediately that we needed to let them know we were thinking about them and wanted to help.” Greenville Drive owner Craig Brown added, “As an affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, this tragedy really hit home and the event on June 12 will serve as a rallying point for the Greenville community to support those affected.” In addition to emediagroup, Greenville Run for One is sponsored by Caine Halter YMCA, Go Magazine, Set Up Events and Fatz.

New guideline for staying sun-safe Don’t Fry Day is May 24

In addition, the terms “waterproof ” or “sweatproof ” can no longer be used on packaging. If water-resistant, the label must say whether it is protective for 40 or 80 minutes while swimming or sweating. No product can be called a “sunblock,” or claim that it offers instant protection or protection for more than two hours without reapplication. Upstate dermatologist Dr. John Humeniuk said nearly 80 percent of his cases don’t deal with issues like acne or psoriasis, but with sun-related problems like removing precancerous and cancerous spots along with melanoma removal. Humeniuk said in his more than three decades of practice, he has seen attitudes toward sun care change and now he “recommends SPF 50 as a baseline.”

Vacation season is on the bright horizon and sun-seekers will be packing up their sunscreen, ready to hit the beach or the lake. But do you know which sun protection product is best for you and how much to use? The rules have changed. Summer 2013 is the first sunburn season that the Food and Drug Administration’s new rules regarding labeling and testing of sunscreens are in full effect. Some products protect from the sun’s UVB and UVA radiation, but not all – and manufacturers now have to be up front about what their products do. UVA rays age the skin while UVB rays cause sunburn. Until this summer, sunburn protection was the only distinction federal sunscreen rules addressed. All sunscreens protect from UVB sun burning rays, but both types of the sun’s radiation can contribute to skin cancer, according to the FDA. The agency now requires that in order to be labeled “broad spectrum,” products must protect against both types of rays and pass a broad-spectrum test. Those products with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 15 can help reduce the risk of sun-induced skin cancer, according to SLIP. SLOP. SLAP. WRAP. the FDA. Slip on a shirt.

This product has been shown with sensitive skin to use 80 to 100 SPF. only to help prevent sunburn, not skin canAccording to the Mayo Clinic, SPF valcer or early skin aging.” ues are based on how long it takes for treat-

ed skin to burn. Evaluators also factor in the probability that users may not apply the product correctly and water and sweat will reduce its effectiveness. Dr. Marshall Shuler of Carolina Dermatology also recommends broad-spectrum 50 SPF sunscreen, saying “the higher the SPF, the better.” Because the SPF number is developed in a laboratory environment, a higher SPF could provide a “cushion” against realworld elements and improper application. As far as which kind of sunscreen to use, Shuler recommends “whatever product people will use on a regular and consistent basis.” Over the last 15 years, UVA rays have become more of a concern and the sunscreen technology has now created a more stable formula that helps to block UVA rays, like helioplex, said Humeniuk. He said he has observed more parents protecting their children with sunscreen these days, but more need to protect themselves, too. Physical barriers like hats and clothing should also be used to protect skin from the sun, Humeniuk said, along with avoiding peak intensity hours between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. “It’s really a three-pronged approach,” he said. And as far as totally avoiding sun exposure, “the reality is that we live in South Carolina and people are going to be in the sun,” he said. The FDA is continuing to study sunscreens and is also considering further changes to labeling requirements, potentially changing those with a SPF value of more than 50 to be labeled SPF 50+. For spray sunscreens, the FDA is investigating the potential safety concern of people inhaling them unintentionally. Shuler added it’s important to note that the new FDA rules for labeling requirements do not apply to sunscreens that are in spray or towelette form, only those in cream or gel forms. The Environmental Working Group, which evaluates sunscreens annually, does

not recommend spray or powder sunscreen because of the risk of inhalation and missing a spot. And to kick off the sun season, the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention is holding Don’t Fry Day on May 24 to encourage sun safety awareness. Learn more at skincancerprevention.org. APRIL A.

POOH’S CORNER

Disney employee helps SCCT cast learn to “act big” By CINDY LANDRUM | staff

Presenting a beloved children’s classic such as “Winnie the Pooh” on stage presents challenges for the cast of the upcoming South Carolina Children’s Theatre production. Most of the challenges stem from director Kim Granner’s decision to use full-body costumes complete with big heads – capitalizing, she said, on children’s’ belief that the

characters they see on stage are real, the same ones they see on television and in the movies. Granner directed the same play in 1996, the first show she ever directed for the Children’s Theatre. “I believed then as I believe now that big POOH continued on PAGE 30

character heads are the way to go because the little bitties who see the show don’t think there are people in there, they think they are seeing the real Winnie the Pooh and Tigger,” she said. “They are only like that for a short time, so why not capitalize on that?” However, acting in full costume is quite different from acting with faces showing. To address the challenge, Granner asked a former SCCT actor who now works as a professional performer at Disney’s four parks in Orlando, Fla, to coach the cast. Nicholas Haile acted in his first SCCT play when he was 10. “My mom made me,” he said. “I was very shy. I loved performing for family, but not in front of a crowd.” His mother, Cindy Mixon, was also cast in the production of “Pinocchio.” Haile continued to participate in SCCT productions – some on stage, others behind the scenes – until 2008, the year he graduated from Wade Hampton High, moved to Florida and began working for Disney in Orlando. Ironically, his last SCCT play was also “Pinocchio.” Haile drove from Orlando earlier this week to work with the “Winnie the Pooh” cast on how to make the beloved characters come alive. “You have to do everything a lot bigger than you normally would,” Haile said. “The full costume hides what you’re doing and movements can get lost if they are too small. You’ve got to make everything as big as possible.” Actors who are wearing full costumes that include headgear can’t rely on their faces to convey emotions to the audience. Instead, they have to do that through gestures and body positioning, he said. “I’m very excited to be here,” he said. “I loved it when I performed here.” Granner said the challenge to cast members “is their physicality and their voice. You really have to over-exaggerate everything. Normal gestures in costume on stage won’t register to the audience.” Granner has designed the set to look like

a pop-up storybook. “It will look like illustrations straight from the book everybody knows,” she said. Winnie the Pooh’s fondness for honey has been well known for generations. In this story, all the animals in the forest are on alert, having heard there was a “monster” coming. The monster turns out to be Kanga, who has a bathtub, soap and strengthening medicine, Granner said. Kanga’s offspring, Roo, gets trapped in Rabbit’s house and Pooh tries to come to the rescue. But he has eaten so much honey he can’t get out. In addition to exaggerating the movements needed on stage, the full costumes

also create “an issue with sound,” Granner said. “If we put microphones in the character heads, the sound becomes muffled.” So Granner gathered a group of actors and actresses, people she calls Greenville’s “big guns,” to pre-record the lines of all of the full-costumed characters. The lines from the supporting cast and Christopher Robin will be performed live. “It adds another challenge,” Granner said. “The headed actors have to be right on top of it. The recording will continue whether or not they say their line.” “Winnie the Pooh” opens on June 15. CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

Branching out Kelen Heller releases first studio recording

Who: Kelen Heller with Super Bob and Vanisher Kelen Heller’s music is the most accessible kind of heavy. When: Friday, May 24, 8 p.m. The guitars roar, the rhythm Where: The Handlebar, 304 E. Stone Ave., Greenville section lays waste to the landscape, and the singer wails. Tickets: $10 in advance, $12 day of show But through the din, the Information: 864-233-6173 or handlebar-online.com rock-solid songwriting comes through. The melodies are strong and sound even more powerful above the roaring engine room, bringing to mind gold- and platinum-selling bands like Crossfade, Sevendust and Shinedown. The band has been playing since 2009, but they’ve gained a lot of traction recently with their single “Never Lived,” which combines radio-ready hooks with plenty of pure power. Kelen Heller formed, like many bands do, out of the ashes of other groups. “All the guys had been playing in bands like The Headsnap, A Vacant Soul and Phungusamungus,” says bassist Brandon Moore. “Each one of them had been successful, but it seemed like they all dissolved over the years. We all knew each other and had been friends for a while, and we all wanted to play with the best players around.” “We built our own little supergroup, if you want to call it that,” Moore says with a laugh. Moore says that the band is conscious of keeping their songs both heavy and accessible, he said. “We love melodies and singing,” Moore said. “We want to be heavy, but at the same time radio-friendly. Bands like Sevendust are a huge influence on us. We want to break into the mainstream. That’s what we’re going for. We want to put music out to the masses.” After three years of writing songs and building an audience through their live shows, Kelen Heller is releasing their first studio recording, an EP called “LTD,” which was produced by Rick Beato (Shinedown, Crossfade). “Rick’s a very cool guy,” Moore says. “He’s been in the industry a while now, and he has a couple platinum albums on his wall, for sure.” The band will play an EP-release show on Friday, May 24, at The Handlebar. Though some bands find chasing mainstream success a difficult compromise, Moore says that Kelen Heller’s songs are accessible by desire just as much as design. “We really want to take the band to the next level, and to do that you have to find a meeting point with the audience. And the way to do that is to write great songs that reach people. There’s nothing we’ve written that we wouldn’t be happy to play. What we’ve written has come out naturally, and people seem to like it. It seems to be working.” The next logical step for the band is a full-length album, and Moore says that they’ve already started preliminary work on it. “We’re talking to some producers right now, actually,” he says. “We love Rick, but at the same time, we want to work with different people and get a different spin on things. There’s no question we definitely have an album’s worth of material already. We’ll be playing some new songs at the Handlebar show that aren’t on the EP.” Ultimately, though platinum sales would be nice, Moore says that their goals are more modest. “We want to do this for a living,” he says, adding with a laugh, “We’re not fans of the day job.” VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR

Peace Center brings music to Summer Nights New concert series to be held at outdoor TD Stage

Cowboy Mouth

The Peace Center is bringing music to some Summer Nights in a new outdoor concert series. The Summer Nights Series – which will be held on the TD Stage behind the Peace Center from June through August – features six concerts ranging from the ukulele and “roots rock” to the blues and bluegrass. Jake Ukulele master Jake Shimabukuro kicks off Shimabukuro the concert series on June 7. Shimabukuro, who was featured on the PBS documentary “Life on Four Strings” earlier this month, has been called the Jimi Hendrix of the ukulele, an instrument with four strings and two octaves. On his new record, “Grand Ukulele,” Shimabukuro worked with Alan Parsons, the legendary producer best known for his work on Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon,” the Beatles’ “Abbey Road” and his own highly successful solo project. The record included a 29-piece orchestra, but Shimabukuro’s concert will be a solo show. Shemekia Copeland The Kruger Brothers “Someday I’d love to tour with a full orchestra, but these solo shows will be fun, especially since we arranged them so the new sounds can stand on their own,” the musician said.

R E A L E S TAT E N E W S Opportunities Abound in Housing Market but Challenges Remain

The shape of homeownership and housing markets has changed dramatically over time and will continue to change in the face of new housing opportunities and challenges. That’s according to panelists at the “Challenges and Opportunities in Housing and Homeownership” session May 17th during the Realtors® 2013 Midyear Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo here. During the session, academics from DePaul University, George Mason University, University of North Carolina and the University of Maryland presented various research and data illustrating the impact of shifting demographics, new mobility patterns and an uncertain interest rate environment on future housing prices, availability and affordability. Funding for some of the research was provided by the REALTOR® University Center for Real Estate Studies.

“The residential mobility rate in the U.S. has been falling steadily since the 1990s, when it was approximately 20 percent, to its current level of 12 percent,” said 2013 President of the Greater Greenville Association of REALTORS® and Broker-In-Charge of Keller Williams Realty in Greenville, SC, Bill Lawton. “The decline is unwelcome news since it may imply a reduction in economic mobility. Mobility is currently being impacted by the lack of housing inventory since fewer homes are available. In the future, proposed regulations requiring larger down payments could also signi�icantly reduce mobility since fewer homeowners may be able to afford a home.”

Lisa Sturtevant from George Mason University’s Center for Regional Analysis said recent trends in residential mobility are most likely the result of changes in the age distribution of the population. She said the two largest segments of the population – baby boomers and millennials – are delaying many major lifecycle events that have been traditional for their respective life stages, like marriage, children and retirement. That also means they are not moving as much as members of previous generations at the same life stages, which could be dragging down the overall residential mobility rate. “Homeownership rates have declined fastest for millennials, most likely the result of fewer job opportunities and higher student debt; however, I believe they still want to become owners and will eventually make their way into the housing market,” said Sturtevant. “When they do enter the market they’ll care about different things than previous generations too; I foresee more single people buying smaller homes in urban areas.” Lawton agreed that the recent housing downturn hasn’t change younger buyers’ attitudes about homeownership, despite many of them delaying their entrance into the market. “Rather, reduced home prices and lower interest rates have provided an opportunity for younger buyers to affordably enter the housing market,” he said.

James D. Shilling from DePaul University’s Institute for Housing Studies shared his insights into recent trends in household mobility and its future impact on the singlefamily housing market.

42 THE JOURNAL | MAY 25, 2013

“Higher home prices will unlock a large number of households with negative or low equity and incentivize them to get off the sidelines and into the housing market. However, combined with future increases in interest rates, the net effect is likely an overall reduction in residential real estate transactions and household mobility,” said Shilling. He anticipates the Federal Reserve will keep mortgage rates low through 2013 and most likely into 2014; consequently the majority of current homeowners will have mortgages with loans rates near record lows, and when rates start to rise they will not be incentivized to give up those low-rate loans to buy a new home with a higher rate mortgage.

Lucy Gorham from the Center for Community Capital at the University of North Carolina offered her perspective into housing policy implications for homeowners, including proposed regulations requiring higher down payments from home buyers. She said while restrictive underwriting helps lower loan defaults, it disenfranchises a higher percentage of creditworthy borrowers; if 20 percent down payments were required, as many as 60 percent of current buyers could be outside of the quali�ied mortgage criteria and potentially face higher interest rates or fees.

“Despite the recent housing crisis, homeownership continues to help build wealth for lower to middle-income households. A safe mortgage product with good underwriting helps lower loan defaults; requiring greater down payments simply closes off access to a greater percentage of borrowers,” said Gorham. Imposing higher down payment requirements would negatively affect low- and moderate-income households and disproportionately impact minority homebuyers, she said. Gorham said minority families tend to have lower wealth and greater need for access to mainstream sustainable loan products, and that more will need to be done to meet their credit requirements since minority families are expected to be the greatest source of future housing demand.

Margaret McFarland, Colvin Institute of Real Estate Development at the University of Maryland, agreed that excessive risk reductions requiring higher down payments and credit scores exclude too many well performing loans from the market. “Federal Housing Administration loans are an important �inancing option for affordable homeownership,” she said. “Veterans Affairs home loans also perform very well in relation to other mortgage products, even with a zero down payment.”

NOTICE OF MOTION STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA IN THE FAMILY COURT THIRTEENTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT COUNTY OF GREENVILLE AND MOTION TO INTERVENE, PURSUANT TO RULE 24, SCRCP 2011-DR-23-5086 Tabitha Talbert, Plaintiff, v. Christopher Talbert, Defendant Teresa K. Hoglen, Plaintiff/ Intervenor, v. Tabitha Talbert, Christopher Talbert, and “John Doe,” Defendants. In re: Allen Christopher Hoglen, DOB 3/16/13, a minor under the age of seven (7) years TO: THE DEFENDANTS ABOVE NAMED: YOU WILL PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Plaintiff/Intervenor, by and through her undersigned attorney, will move before the Greenville County Family Court, Greenville, South Carolina, on 24th day of June, 2013, at 2:45pm, or as soon thereafter as counsel may be heard, for an Order of the Court granting to Plaintiff the right to Intervene in the case of Tabitha Talbert v. Christopher Talbert, Case No. 2011-DR-23-5086, for the reasons set forth in the within Motion. Plaintiff makes this request based, without limitation, upon the following facts: 1. Plaintiff/Intervenor is the stepmother of Tabitha Talbert and therefore, the paternal grandmother of the minor child Allen Christian Hoglen, born March 16, 2013. Tabitha Talbert is the biological mother of said minor child. Tabitha Talbert and Christopher Talbert are involved in marital litigation in this Court. Upon information and belief, Tabitha Talbert deny that her husband, Christopher Talbert, is the father of this child, and Christopher Talbert will also denies that he is the father. This Court has jurisdiction, both in personam and of the subject matter, of this action, and venue is proper in Greenville County. 2. Plaintiff/Intervenor is seeking custody of the minor child named above. Tabitha Talbert has agreed to Plaintiff/ Intervenor’s having such custody, as evidenced by the document entitled “Custody Agreement,” attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, as Tabitha Talbert currently has no employment, no transportation, and no permanent place to live. 3. Plaintiff/Intervenor therefore has an interest relating to the outcome of the withinreferenced action. 4. Plaintiff/Intervenor’s claim and the ongoing divorce action will have questions of law and fact in common. 5. The best interest of the minor child would be served by allowing Plaintiff/Intervenor to intervene in the ongoing action rather than to file a separate action, as all issues could be decided at the same time. 6. The interests of judicial economy would be better served by these matters being heard at the same time, rather than their being separately adjudicated. WHEREFORE, Plaintiff/Intervenor respectfully requests the following relief: 1. That she be allowed to intervene in the litigation between the parties; 2. That the Custody Agreement attached hereto be approved and made the Order of the Court; 3. That any and all further hearings be coordinated, in the best interests of the minor child and in the interest of judicial economy, and 4. Any other and further relief as this Court may deem just, fair, and proper. Respectfully submitted, Dianne S.

LIFE IS SO DAILY WITH STEVE WONG

Forgive and forget: yes and no From all appearances, we here in South Carolina have forgiven Mark Sanford for his moral transgressions of hiking on the Appalachian Trail when he should have been home in the governor’s mansion being a faithful husband. To the amazement of most of the nation, we have elected him back into national politics with his mistressturned-fiancee in tow. We don’t really even seem to mind that he violated a court order to stay out of his ex-wife’s house: Can you really hold it against a good Christian man for wanting to watch the Super Bowl with his son? After all, he said he was sorry. And so Mr. Sanford goes (back) to Washington and “Saturday Night Live” has something sadly funny to say about South Carolina. As Mr. Sanford has pointed out, we do things differently here in the South. It is a much-accepted fact of life that our Southern culture and lives are peppered with “colorful characters.” If nothing else, they keep us entertained. Some of those characters are fictitiously near and dear to our hearts, like Arthur “Boo” Radley in “To Kill A Mockingbird.” He might have been a reclusive weirdo who probably killed a man, but “bless his heart,” he did what had to be done. Others are all too real, like that never-married distant cousin in everyone’s family, whom we dare not leave in the room alone with little children. When he comes to Sunday dinner, we seat him between the biggest uncle and the witchiest aunt in the clan, and watch his every move. “Bless his heart,” and you might want to wash his dinner plate and drinking glass separately. As the bumper sticker on dually trucks say, “Forget? Hell No!” We might sort of forgive a good ol’ boy for a moment of weakness, but we’ll never forget it. If nothing else, it will become legend around the dinner table. If we caught it on video, we’ll post it to You-

Tube. It might even become a reality TV show, joining the ranks of Honey Boo Boo and the Duck Dynasty. It’s just our way of processing backsliding Baptists, and leaving those casting stones on the ground for fear that one might ricochet back at us. In the clinical opinion of many mental health professionals, forgiveness is the key to settling of scores with others and ourselves. It can be bad enough that we refuse to forgive others of their sins against us, but it can be hell to forgive ourselves for messing up. Undoubtedly, we can be our own worst enemy. Personally, I am very slow to forgive those who have wronged me. Despite knowing better, grudges and I have an unhealthy symbiotic relationship. I hold onto my grudges and they hold onto me, and together we ain’t going nowhere good. My toes are very sensitive, even in butt-kicking boots. But those external obsessions are minor compared to the self-flagellation I receive when I recall my own tortured shortcomings. When I think bad thoughts about others, no one really gets hurt. When I think bad thoughts about myself, well, thankfully, the job of judge, jury and executioner is best left to a higher power. On the rare occasion that I hike alone, I use that time to think and reflect on the good, the bad and the ugly in my life. I make it point to try to forgive not only those who have wronged me but forgive myself for being wrong. I do this in hopes of moving on to a better place. I can’t help but wonder what Mr. Sanford will think about on his next hiking trip through the halls of Congress. Steve Wong lives in the peach orchards of Inman, SC. His opinions are all his own and he is solely responsible for them, come what may. If you have anything to say about it, his email address is Just4Wong@gmail.com.
