OPINION VOICES FROM YOUR COMMUNITY, HEARD HERE

The great truths our forefathers laid down on July 4, 1776 It was not because it was proposed to establish a new nation, but because it was proposed to establish a nation on new principles, that July 4, 1776, has come to be regarded as one of the greatest days in history.

Great ideas do not burst upon the world unannounced. They are reached by a gradual development over a length of time usually proportionate to their importance. This is especially true of the principles laid down in the Declaration of Independence.

Three very definite propositions were set out in its preamble regarding the nature of mankind and therefore of government. These were the doctrine that all men are created equal, that they are endowed with certain inalienable rights, and that therefore the source of the just powers of government must be derived from the consent of the governed…

These great truths were in the air that our people breathed. Whatever else we may say of it, the Declaration of Inde-

IN MY OWN WORDS by CALVIN COOLIDGE

pendence was profoundly American …

It is a declaration not of material but of spiritual conceptions. Equality, liberty, popular sovereignty, the rights of man – these are not elements which we can see and touch. They are ideals. They have their source and their roots in the religious convictions of our forefathers.

They belong to the unseen world.

Unless the faith of the American people in these religious convictions is to endure, the principles of our Declaration will perish. We cannot continue to enjoy the result if we neglect and abandon the cause. …

If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond

these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. …

Ours is a government of the people.

It represents their will. Its officers may sometimes go astray, but that is not a reason for criticizing the principles of our institutions. The real heart of the American Government depends upon the heart of the people. It is from that source that we must look for all genuine reform. It is to that cause that we must ascribe all our results.

It was in the contemplation of these truths that the fathers made their declaration and adopted their Constitution.

It was to establish a free government, which must not be permitted to degenerate into the unrestrained authority of a mere majority or the unbridled weight of a mere influential few.

They undertook the balance these interests against each other and provide the three separate independent branches, the executive, the legislative, and the judicial departments of the Government, with checks against each other in order that neither one might encroach upon the other.

These are our guaranties of liberty. As a result of these methods, enterprise has been duly protected from confiscation, the people have been free from oppression, and there has been an ever-broadening and deepening of the humanities of life.

Calvin Coolidge was the 30th president of the United States. The above is excerpted from his July 5, 1926, address at the 150th anniversary celebration of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia. To read the speech in its entirety, go to bit.ly/coolidge1926.

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

The above is the preamble and conclusion to the Declaration of Independence, adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. Thomas Jefferson, a delegate representing Virginia, composed the original draft.

REMBRANDT PEALE

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. – That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, – That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security…

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do.

And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Deadly days of summer

amorris@communityjournals.com Those heady days between Memorial Day and Labor Day – filled with travel, outdoor fun and family gatherings – have a darker epithet: the 100 Deadly Days of Summer, as known to safety experts.

With families heading off on vacation or weekend trips, car accidents are the primary cause of injury during the summer season. Vehicle crashes regularly spike during this time, and are the No. 1 cause of death for teens – killing 2,439 teen drivers and passengers nationwide in 2012, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

One in four teens don’t use a seat belt when they ride with a teen driver without an adult, reports Teens in Cars, a recent survey released by Safe Kids Worldwide. Many text while driving and admit they don’t speak up when riding with an unsafe driver.

The survey asked 1,000 teens aged 13 to 19 about driving habits ranging from seat belt use to texting. “I forgot” was the primary excuse teens offered researchers for failing to buckle up, followed by “it wasn’t

a habit” or “the trip was short.”

Researchers found that teens who don’t use seat belts are more likely to have parents who also don’t buckle up every time.

What’s more, these teens are more likely to text while driving.

Reaching for the seat belt is one of the easiest ways for teens to survive a crash, said Holly Watson, injury prevention and outreach coordinator for Greenville Health System’s Trauma Program. And everyone in the family should pocket their cellphones.

“We need to be safety role models for our kids. It’s hard to tell teens not to text when parents do it,” Watson said.

In the Palmetto State, Greenville County led the number of teen traffic fatalities in 2013, with 19 deaths out of a total of 141 teens killed in traffic accidents statewide, Watson said. The county’s combination of speedy interstates and twisty back roads

“In the trauma unit, motor vehicles crashes are our biggest trauma,” Watson said. Wearing a seat belt keeps occupants in the vehicle in a crash, restrains the strongest parts of the body, spreads out the force of a crash and helps prevent head trauma, she said.

DRIVEN TO DISTRACTION Experts say texting while driving is equal to driving after four alcoholic drinks. The City of Greenville banned handheld devices while driving earlier this year, but the ban was superseded by a weaker state ban on texting and driving that was signed into law in June.

The state ban only covers texting while moving and allows drivers to text while stopped in traffic and talk on their cells anytime. Drivers can be fined no more than $50 and the law forbids police to “seize, search or view” a phone for proof of texting. Tickets will not be reported to the driver’s insurance carrier.

Thirty-nine percent of teens say they have ridden with a teen driver who was texting, according to the Teens in Cars survey. And 28 percent of teens surveyed said they’ve seen their parents texting and driving.

Texting teens are 23 times more likely to crash than those who put down the phones, Watson said. Compounding the digital distraction is the human one: teen passengers.

“Texting may distract you for five sec-

onds, but a passenger distracts you the whole time,” Watson said. Adding one teen passenger to the car with a teen driver increases the likelihood of a crash by 45 percent. That likelihood goes up as the number of passengers increases.

REDUCING THE RISK The best way for teens to protect themselves on the highway is to use the seat belt every time they get in a car – no matter the distance or duration, Watson said.

Parents should lead by example, beginning when their children are very young.

And keeping an eye on the number of passengers allowed to ride with teen drivers is also a good idea, she said.

Driver training courses like Alive at 25 and Guard Your Life Challenge for teens are important and safety advocates are working to have Alive at 25 offered at all high schools, said Watson.

Wicked summer Ways to play it safe in the great outdoors

amorris@communityjournals.com

• Don’t start out too late and get caught in the dark.

Travel is not the only risk Upstate residents take during the sizzling summer months, said Dr. Ryan Hoffman, medical director of emergency services at Bon Secours St. Francis. People find all manner of ways to injure themselves in the great outdoors.

Here are a few pointers from the emergency room doctor:

• Be cautious about “where you step and where you put your hands.”

Copperheads and timber rattlesnakes are plentiful in the Upstate.

A copperhead bite is painful, but usually not deadly, Hoffman says. Get help right away if bitten by a rattlesnake.

“The best treatment for a snakebite is a cellphone.”

WATER RECREATION

FIREWORKS

APRIL A. MORRIS | STAFF

Boating, Jet Ski and swimming accidents spike during the summer, Hoffman said. Families should: • Always have one person watching the water at all times, especially if children are present.

• Insist every person in the water wear a life preserver (not just kids or boat riders).

• Monitor alcohol consumption – alcohol slows reflexes, which can affect safety.

HIKING

If you haven’t hit the trail for a while, it’s always advisable to start with a shorter hike, Hoffman said. Be sure to: • Tuck supplies like water, food, emergency blanket and whistle into your pack.

• Let someone know where you’re going and register at the trailhead with park officials.

The best fireworks “are the ones you go and watch,” Hoffman said. If you do light up the night in your driveway, keep in mind: • Children should not be involved in lighting or holding fireworks.

• Don’t purchase hand-held fireworks – especially Roman candles. “Even a benign sparkler can cause severe burns.”

• Don’t drink alcohol while handling fireworks.

SUN EXPOSURE Hoffman has admitted multiple child patients to the ER with severe sunburn.

When outdoors, remember: • Always apply sunscreen liberally and monitor length of sun exposure.

• The very young and the very old should avoid high heat exposure entirely.

HOLIDAY HANGOVER

GUARD YOUR LIFE

Holidays like the Fourth of July are not the busiest times in the emergency room. ER teams see the most action the day after, when revelers are beginning to recover, Hoffman said.

Guard Your Life Challenge, a teen driver-training course, is offered at the BMW Performance Driving School to teach teens about the dangers of distracted driving and learn basic skills. The half-day course is free to those who qualify and challenges teens to “guard their life” through good choices.

Teens can then pledge to use their vehicle in a safe manner, never text and drive, never drive drunk and wear their seat belts.

OBJECTS IN MOTION In a 30-mile-per-hour collision, a 60-pound person not wearing a seat belt transforms into an object moving with 1,800 pounds of force, said Holly Watson of the GHS Trauma Program. Increase the speed to 42 miles per hour and the force of the unrestrained person equals the weight of 4,500 to 9,000 pounds – the adult elephant. equivalent of an

2 more deaths linked to GHS infection One additional patient tests positive for mycobacterial infection APRIL A. MORRIS | STAFF

amorris@communityjournals.com

10 THE JOURNAL | JULY 4, 2014

Nearly a week after Greenville Health System revealed that 14 people were sickened by a mycobacterial infection and one death was linked to the infection at Greenville Memorial Hospital, one more patient has tested positive and two more have died, hospital officials said last week.

According to hospital officials, six patients are recovering at home and six are receiving treatment at the hospital or an extended-care facility. Dr. Robert Mobley Jr., medical director of quality at GHS, said that the infection could have contributed to the deaths of three patients, but was not the main cause as they had “significant underlying medical conditions.”

“We regret that any patient within our care could possibly be affected by this situation,” said Mobley last week.

“Our thoughts are with those involved. Our ongoing priority will be to monitor these and other patients for continued safe and effective care.”

The first case of the mycobacterial infection was discovered in March. Preliminary investigation results point to a piece of equipment, which was removed from use in May. According to hospital officials, the majority of patients affected had cardiac surgery along with two who had abdominal surgery and one who had neurosurgery.

JOURNAL NEWS Detecting and tracking the infection was complicated by its lengthy incubation period, up to 60 days, said GHS director of infection prevention Connie Steed last week.

Hospital officials are continuing to pinpoint the source of the infection with help from the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) and Centers for Disease Control and

Prevention (CDC).

Mycobacterium is naturally occurring and does not usually cause problems for those who are healthy; however, those who are already sick or who undergo surgical procedures can be susceptible.

Anyone who is concerned after having surgery at Greenville Memorial Hospital should contact their physician, said hospital officials.

MYCOBACTERIUM ABSCESSUS SYMPTOMS Skin infected with M. abscessus is usually red, warm, tender to the touch, swollen and/or painful.

Infected areas can also develop boils or pus-filled vesicles.

Other signs of infection are fever, chills, muscle aches and a general feeling of illness.

\ ]

TRANSMISSION CAN OCCUR Through injections of substances contaminated with the bacterium.

Through invasive medical procedures employing contaminated equipment or material.

After accidental injury where the wound is contaminated by soil.

There is very little risk of transmission from person to person.

An Anderson man has been sentenced to one year probation and a $5,000 fine for violating the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Robert Claude Cathey was found guilty of a Class A misdemeanor for unlawfully placing bait on a field on April 25. He was sentenced by the federal district court in Greenville on June 19, following his trial.

The Migratory Bird Treaty Act, a federal statute that affords protection to all migratory birds, bans the hunting of any migratory game bird, such as mourning doves, ducks and geese over a baited area. Penalties can reach a $100,000 fine and up to a year in federal prison.

In November 2012, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Office of Law Enforcement, in cooperation with South Carolina Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement, began investigating Cathey after state officers apprehended hunters stalking mourning doves on a field that had been prepared illegally in Liberty. The investigation revealed that Cathey had leased the field to the hunters for $5,000 and prepared the field by scattering wheat seed on top of the ground. The hunters were not charged in this investigation.

Police are urging residents to always lock vehicles as summer is a busy time for auto break-ins. On June 26, six break-ins occurred on Plamondon Drive (near Rocky Creek and West Georgia roads) in Simpsonville between 1 and 7 a.m., according to police reports. Victims reported some electronics and cash stolen from their vehicles.

In Marietta, the Greenville County Sherriff ’s Office received 12 reports of auto break-ins between 6 p.m. and 9 a.m. on June 29 and 30. According to reports, some of the vehicles were locked and some were not. Firearms, purses, electronics, wallets and other items were reported stolen.

Investigators ask anyone with information regarding these incidents to contact Crime Stoppers at 23-CRIME. Master Deputy Stan Whitten was “justified to use force” when he shot and killed Jordan Browder, 22, at the Citgo Corner Mart on Piedmont Highway on June 2, the Greenville County Sheriff ’s Office announced last week.

Whitten has returned to active duty.

Deputies responded to a 911 call June 2 regarding a suspicious vehicle parked next to a gas pump that had not moved for more than two hours, according to the police report. On approaching the car, a deputy observed a handgun in plain view in the lap of the driver, later identified as Dylan Lamar Tiller. The deputy backed away from the vehicle and called for backup.

When backup arrived, deputies gave loud, clear commands for the vehicle occupants to exit and show their hands, according to reports. The driver complied, but Browder did not and kept reaching into his waistband, even after exiting the vehicle, reports said.

Whitten feared that the subject was reaching for a weapon, endangering the safety of himself and other deputies. Whitten fired three times before Browder dropped to his knees and deputies were able to handcuff him and administer CPR. No weapon was found on Browder’s person, according to an earlier report.

Whitten was placed on administrative duty while the sheriff ’s Office of Professional Standards investigated the shooting. A SLED investigation is ongoing.

GHS changes education requirements for nurses Multiple jobs in acute care setting will now require bachelor’s degrees CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com Greenville Health System is now requiring Bachelor of Science degrees for some of its nursing jobs.

Hospital officials say the increased education requirements are necessary because health care delivery is becoming more complex and nurses in bachelor degree programs receive more critical thinking and care coordination skill training.

Research conducted by the Institute of Medicine in partnership with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Initiative on the Future of Nursing found having more nurses with bachelor’s degrees leads to better patient outcomes.

The IOM recommends that 80 percent of nurses hold a bachelor’s degree by 2020.

GHS employs 3,558 registered nurses. Fifty-three percent of nurses in the GHS system have bachelor’s degrees.

Fifty-five percent of nurses at the Memorial campus have four-year degrees, she said.

Michelle Taylor-Smith, GHS’ vice president of patient care services and chief nursing officer, said GHS anticipates about 300 nurses will be required to sign a memorandum of understanding that they will get their degrees within four years. New hires will also have to sign the memorandum if they are hired for a position that requires the bachelor’s degree.

“Nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care workforce and spend more time delivering patient care than any other health care profession.

They are the quarterbacks of patient care coordination.”

MICHELLE TAYLOR-SMITH

“Nursing’s unique ability to meet patient needs at the bedside and beyond puts us in a critical position to transform health care,” Taylor-Smith said.

“Patients have not been receiving substandard care. What this will mean is an improved level of communication. Patients are coming to us sicker and with more diseases. We don’t want them to have to stay longer because of a lack of critical thinking and communication.”

No jobs will be lost because of the new requirement, she said.

“Every nurse will be able to stay in their current position,” Taylor-Smith said. “If they go to a new position, they’ll be required to obtain a degree within four years.”

Nurses in GHS’ physician practice offices are not included in the requirement, she said.

Standing his ground

As IRS commissioner, Johnnie Mac Walters defied Nixon’s orders to investigate enemies

Lt. Johnnie Mac Walters in World War II.

CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com Johnnie Mac Walters didn’t have much as far as material belongings growing up – his family lived in a former sharecroppers house outside of Hartsville in South Carolina’s Pee Dee region with no electricity or running water.

But it was the gifts he did have – the principles of honesty and integrity and the rewards of hard work taught to him by his parents– that served him well throughout his life, most notably when he headed the Internal Revenue Service, and an embattled President Richard Nixon sought to use the agency to investigate and punish his enemies.

Walters’ family, from left, back row: Betsy, Hilton, J.R., DeeDee; front row: Johnnie Mac Walters and Donna Walters.

Walters’ refusal became a defining memory from the Watergate scandal.

Walters, called Mac by everybody in Greenville but his wife, died last week at age of 94.

“When Mac had his law office downtown, people used to point at him and say, ‘You know who that is, don’t you?’” said Camp Wynn, principal at Colonial Trust. “He had a halo created by Nixon, but his legacy was the way he lived his life. The principles by which he lived his life really were a roadmap on how to live

life. His formula was not hard to understand, but hard to implement.”

“HE JUST DID WHAT WAS RIGHT” When Nixon tapped Walters for the IRS, the president had already fired his first IRS commissioner, Randolph W. Thrower, for resisting White House pressure to punish political opponents. One of Nixon’s requirements for a replacement (as later revealed in the Watergate tapes) was that the successor be “a ruthless son of a bitch, that he will do what he’s told, that every income tax return I want to see I see, that he will go after our enemies and not go after our friends.”

But Walters didn’t know that.

When White House counsel John Dean handed him the “enemies list” of 200 people, mostly prominent Democrats, Walters was shocked and appalled.

“I told John that if the IRS were to do as requested it would make Watergate look like a Sunday school picnic,” Walters wrote in his memoir, “Our Journey,” published in 2011.

Walters put the list in a sealed envelope and locked it in his safe at IRS headquarters with permission of Treasury Secretary George Schultz. He later gave the list to Larry Woodworth, the executive director of the Joint Tax Committee.

On the Nixon tapes released later, the former president said, “The IRS must be used even if we’ve got to kick Walters’ ass out first and get a man down there.”

“I felt, and still feel, that had IRS implemented the request it would have ruined our tax system for years to come,” Walters wrote in his book. “Thus, by refusing to implement the request, we preserved our tax system and also kept me out of jail.”

Wynn said Walters never thought he did anything noble in the way he dealt with the enemies list.

“He just did what was right,” Wynn said.

Barbara Weatherford, who worked as

Walters’ assistant as Colonial Trust in Greenville for 18 years, said she never heard Walters say an unkind word about Nixon.

“He always felt that people needed to respect the office,” she said.

Public invited to ribbon-cutting event APRIL A. MORRIS | STAFF

amorris@communityjournals.com Less than two years after it announced a capital campaign to establish a shelter in Oconee County, Safe Harbor will cut the ribbon on a 24-hour facility to serve victims of domestic violence and their families.

Safe Harbor’s staff and board will mark the Oconee shelter’s opening with an offsite ribbon cutting July 8 at 10 a.m. at the Shaver Recreational Complex in Seneca.

State Sen. Thomas Alexander will join community and civic leaders in sharing remarks.

Safe Harbor had a presence in Oconee County through education and community counseling, but anyone needing shelter was forced to travel to Greenville or Anderson counties. The local community approached Safe Harbor about establishing a shelter in the county and a feasibility study revealed the need, said Safe Harbor executive director Becky Callaham.

The community rallied around the issue in the wake of five people losing their lives in one week in 2012 as a result of domestic violence, Callaham said. The nonprofit launched a capital campaign in early 2013 with the backing of Oconee Sheriff Mike Crenshaw.

In January, the nonprofit announced it had surpassed its $990,000 goal with nearly $1.2 million raised.

“The campaign to have a shelter in Oconee County began several years ago

as a grass-roots effort,” Crenshaw said.

“It really took off in March 2013 and now that goal has been reached. We still have a lot of work to do, but over the last nine months, I have observed a significant change.”

Crenshaw said Oconee County “now is starting to see domestic violence as a community problem instead of just a law enforcement issue. This will allow us to be successful as we move forward.”

clandrum@communityjournals.com The four tree houses under construction at the Roper Mountain Science Center are nothing like the tree houses many of us remember – and perhaps built ourselves – back in the day.

They are the creations of local architects, contractors and builders taking part in the center’s summer design competition, “Out on a Limb.”

The four entries are a far cry from the closet-sized rooms stumble-thumbed fathers built out of scrap lumber into the crooks of backyard trees. They’re “elevated playgrounds,” says Chris Stone, Roper Mountain Science Center Association board member and architect.

The tree houses will open for play July 12 from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. during Roper Mountain’s Second Saturday, which will feature the science center’s popular Blueberry Festival.

The tree houses will serve as ECO Science Exploration Centers for after-school programs, summer camp groups and visitors to the science center.

“They won’t be used as formal classrooms, but each will illustrate one or two science principles” and allow science center visitors an opportunity for recreation in a natural setting, said science center Director of Development Tommie Reece.

ashington lawyer Francis Scott Key sailed into the Chesapeake Bay in 1814 intent on persuading the British to release an American doctor held prisoner there.

Key was successful in his diplomacy – but it was what else he did on that trip that enthroned him in the history books.

Fearing Key would tip off the Americans about British plans to attack Fort McHenry, Key and his party were de-

tained under British guard on a vessel behind a fleet of 16 British warships. For 25 hours, the warships fired on the fort.

At daybreak, Key saw the American flag still flying over Fort McHenry, and began to scribble on the back of an envelope a poem that later became America’s national anthem.

To mark the 200th anniversary of that anthem, the Upcountry History Museum has opened an exhibit featur-

ing the War of 1812, “The Star-Spangled Banner” and the flag that inspired Key’s work. It runs through Sept. 17.

Keys originally called the poem, which has four verses, “Defence of Fort McHenry.” Fireworks-filled skies this weekend will offer a glimpse of what he saw as he penned, “And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air/Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.”

“Defence of Fort McHenry” was first published as a broadside with instructions that it be sung to the 18th-century British melody “Anacreon in Heaven,” the tune that Key had in mind when he wrote

STAR-SPANGLED TIMELINE 1813 – Baltimore flag maker Mary Pickersgill stitched the Great Garrison Flag, the largest battle flag ever flown at the time.

1814 – Fort McHenry was attacked on Sept. 13 but the Garrison Flag was still flying at dawn the morning of the 14th, leading Francis Scott Key to compose the “Star-Spangled Banner,” a poem he originally titled “Defence of Fort McHenry.”

the poem. Composed by John Stafford Smith, “Anacreon in Heaven” was the official song of the Anacreontic Society, an 18th-century gentleman’s club of amateur London musicians. Several writers, including Key, later used the tune as a setting for patriotic lyrics.

The military adopted the song for ceremonial purposes before the turn of the century. The U.S. Army and Navy designated it as the “national anthem” for ceremonial purposes in 1917.

“The Star-Spangled Banner” became the official national anthem in 1931.

Winners announced in MAC’s 24-hour art competition CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com Greenville has some artists who can work “Flat Out Under Pressure.”

Last weekend, 68 of them participated in the Metropolitan Art Council’s “Flat Out Under Pressure,” a 24-hour two-dimensional art competition whose winners have their work reproduced on recycling bins that are scattered up and down Greenville’s Main Street from the Hyatt Regency to the West End. Janette Wesley, a Greenville artist and Metropolitan Arts Council board member, came up with the idea in 2009. Wesley had participated in a timed painting contest in Italy and enjoyed the challenge.

Teresa Roche won this year’s competition with “Utopian Neighborhood,” an acrylic and watercolor on wood panel.

Artwork from the winning artists will be reproduced on the front and back of recycling bins, which will become an outdoor art gallery, said Alan Ethridge, executive director of MAC. The first-place winner gets a week stay in an Italian villa.

Daniel Bare of Clemson University’s Department of Fine Arts juried the exhibition.

The entries are on exhibit at MAC’s gallery at 16 Augusta St., Greenville, through Aug. 1.

CLOSED JULY 4th

After two decades, Marc Cohn still finds joy in his first hit You can apply many descriptors to singer/ songwriter Marc Cohn, but “prolific” is probably not one of them. Since his 1991 self-titled debut album, Cohn has released only three additional albums of his rough-hewn but strikingly detailed original material.

Then again, when your calling card is “Walking in Memphis,” maybe churning out WHO: Mark Cohn albums isn’t really necessary.

WHERE: TD Stage at the Peace Center The song, which was Cohn’s debut single, is one of the most recognizable radio hits of the WHEN: Friday, July 11, 7:30 p.m. last two decades, taking on a life of its own.

HOW MUCH: $25, $35 After various periods of inactivity throughout INFO: 864-467-3000 or peacecenter.org those decades, the Grammy-winning Cohn has rededicated himself to performing live.

After a recent series of shows with the legendary Mavis Staples, he’s coming to the Peace Center’s TD Stage on Friday, July 11.

First off, I have to ask: What was it like sharing the stage with Mavis Staples?

It was one of the great musical experiences of my life. She’s so inspirational on so many levels, and just being able to share the stage with her and hang out with her and be in her presence is a remarkable gift. It’s something I’ll never forget. After 60 years she can still raise the roof off the place, not to mention the work she’s done as a humanitarian… the list is endless in terms of everything she means to music and to society.

Do you aspire to that kind of longevity?

Absolutely. For most of us who are still on the road, that’s what it’s about. I’m so grateful at this point that I still have an audience. There was a point when I wasn’t travelling as much, and David Crosby called me up one day, someone who’s been a great supporter and a lovely friend, and said, “You owe it to your audience to go out and play.” And that impacted me deeply. He reminded me that it’s my job, and I should show a lot more gratitude for having an audience. So that’s what I’ve been doing for the last few years.

Your last album (“Listening Booth: 1970”) was a collection of covers; do you include cover material in your live show?

Well, that record is already almost four years old, so it’s not the focus of the set. I still do sort of a folk version of (The Box Tops’) “The Letter,” and I do (Simon & Garfunkel’s) “The Only Living Boy in New York,” which is one of my all-time favorite songs; I love doing that song live. But most of the stuff is from my original records.

Speaking of which, have you started thinking about your next original record?

I have. I’ve written a couple of new songs, which is rare for me, so having a couple of new ones is great. But I’m thinking about either making a new record or doing a series of releases on iTunes that are just one or two songs at a time. The format I grew up loving is the album, but to be honest, I’m not sure that it’s all that important to wait until you have 10 songs to release anymore.

Is songwriting a painstaking process for you?

The most painstaking part, usually, is waiting: waiting for something to make me want to sit down at the piano or pick up a pen and write. And I never know when or how that’s going to happen. So that’s uncomfortable from time to time.

Has your perspective on “Walking in Memphis” changed over the last two decades?

Just my level of pride about it; that’s increased. And my level of ownership of it has disappeared; I almost feel like it’s not mine anymore. That’s actually a pretty wonderful feeling. It’s amazing to me that 22 years later, there’s not one night where I don’t want to sing it. It’s really a remarkable thing. It has such an impact on the audience that it not only makes it beautiful to sing it every night, but joyful. And I still like the song. It’s always a pleasure to play it and enjoy the response it gets.

Gary Davis recently attempted to set a world altitude record for a particular class of electric aircraft at the Greenville Downtown Airport. Davis’ electric trike can fly at about 28 mph. His flight will go on record with The Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI – The World Air Sports Federation). While it might be a few months before the FAI’s official number, Davis feels certain that he flew between 3,700 and 4,000 feet.

THE SYMPTOMS

BY ASHLEY HOLT

When I moved to Spartanburg a few years ago, I knew there would be no music scene, no alternative newspaper, not even an FM radio station. Being a Carolinian from birth, I accept the typical Southern disdain for interest or effort as a given.

But the one thing I assumed a hillbilly village like this could provide was quality Southern cuisine. I salivated imagining the cake and fried apple recipes passed down from Beulah to Beulah, feeling confident that the one thing these well-fed citizens knew how to do was make dinner.

How great will it be, I thought, to have pork sandwiches available just blocks from our home? Even the NASCAR interior design theme, I saw as a good sign. Who knows quality hog parts better than Dale Earnhardt fans? This was going to be great.

I knew it was not great as soon as I saw the sandwich arrive completely dry.

I realized the squirt bottles I’d seen on the counter weren’t extra BBQ sauces, they were the only BBQ sauce.

This is as insulting to a true Southerner as serving unsweetened tea with a packet of sugar. Just as the only true sweet tea has been brewed with the sugar already added, true barbecue must be cooked in the sauce. Otherwise, you don’t have barbecue; you have a dry meat sandwich with a condiment.

I found, to my dismay, that every local BBQ joint had the same twisted ideology: dry meat with sauce on the side. I was starting to conclude there are modes of Southernism so backwards that even 16th-generation rednecks like me are repulsed. I would come to encounter many elements of Spartanburg culture that could be considered Too Southern.

What became apparent from the town’s countless signs and banners was that Spartanburg prided itself on its hot dogs.

This seemed odd to me, as I’ve always associated hot dogs with sidewalk vendors in New York and Chicago. But hot dog restaurants are everywhere here, not to mention hot dog dinners being advertised on the church signs stationed every 12 feet.

Sampling a couple of these outlets revealed that these are not gourmet dogs, but traditional Oscar-Meyer tube steaks. Here was a community of grown adults celebrating convenience store hot dogs as a point of town pride. I was beginning to suspect the local taste buds were underdeveloped.

I quickly learned to avoid any res-

taurant that served “plates” (hot dog or otherwise). Fries will come in a greasesoaked paper sack. Utensils will be plastic and prepackaged with a flimsy napkin. The ice in your Coke will be of the wax-coated pellet variety.

But if you prefer your prefabricated food on a metal tray rather than Styrofoam, visit one of Spartanburg’s innumerable fish camps. As a native of Charleston, famous for an abundance of enviable seafood restaurants, fish camps are abhorrent to me. The frozen food, fluorescent lighting and prison mess hall furnishings make you feel as if you’re being punished.

And as you pay the cashier, there is, without fail, a basket of Baptist propaganda to remind you that yes, you DO deserve punishment – with tartar sauce.

Maybe this gets to the gut of the Podunk cultural diet. Many Spartanburg restaurants feature entrées served in what look like bombed-out bunkers.

Cinder block hovels with no attempt at décor, folding tables with metal folding chairs. The never-changing menus offer fried grease sandwiches buried under triple-battered onion rings, sweet tea of such concentrated glucose it’s like drinking a cup of tea-flavored pancake syrup.

And yet Spartanburgers will flock to them, because expecting anything better would make them seem uppity. The locals gather there every week after church, and lo to any who decides to forego this sacrosanct ritual in favor of Applebee’s.

Why? Because, in the South, cultural expectations remain low in deference to family traditions. Chances are good everyone forcing down the corndog special at Mustard Bubba’s is somehow related. In the religion of Southernism, we’re taught to always observe tradition, however greasy or in need of salt.

Southerners accept the indignities of Mabel Lou’s Family Diner with stoic pride, as if tasteless grub and the resulting arterial damage were one’s sacred destiny. We will clean our plates graciously, thanking Mama and the good Lord for the privilege. For to be Too Southern is to live forever by Mama’s credo: “You’ll eat it and you’ll like it.”
