The Spay That Saved a Life

I’m alive today because of you. When we moved to Greenville, my mom, Nikki, brought me in to be spayed through Animal Care’s free large breed dog spay/neuter program. It was too expensive to afford a spay surgery where we lived before, and she didn’t want me having any more puppies. During my surgery, Animal Care’s veterinarian discovered I had a cyst the size of a grapefruit on my ovary. I could have died if it ruptured, so they used money from the Second Chance Fund to cover the removal and took care of it right then and there. Thanks to donations from animal lovers like you, my life was saved and I got to be here to welcome our new human baby into the family. My mom says it’s the best Christmas present she could have gotten! Please consider donating on our website, GreenvillePets.org, to help more pets like me.

NEW BILLS AWAIT LEGISLATORS Proposals would overhaul utility regulations, privatize school bus system, and, perhaps, bring an end to daylight saving time WORDS BY CINDY LANDRUM South Carolina’s utility regulations would see a major overhaul if multiple bills prompted by the cancellation of two unfinished nuclear reactors at V.C. Summer Nuclear Station are passed during the 2018 legislative session. Other bills would ban devices that turn guns into battlefieldstyle automatic weapons, allow removal of Confederate statues, and ask voters whether they want to end daylight saving time. Lawmakers filed 240 bills in advance of the session that begins Jan. 9. Some of the bills were prompted by headlines and events here in South Carolina and across the country. Some of the bills are repeats that didn’t pass last year. Others are brand new. Some have no realistic chance of passing, while others could spark big debates.

RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES

Several bills were introduced in both houses in response to the decision last summer by SCE&G and Santee Cooper to abandon plans for two new nuclear reactors in Fairfield County, even though they had already spent $9 billion on the project and started charging customers increased rates through the 10-year-old Base Load Review Act. One of the bills would not allow utilities to make costs associated with construction or expansion of a facility a part of their rates until the facility is operating and providing electric service. Members of both houses also want to change the S.C. Public Service Commission. The PSC decides whether power plants are built and how much utilities can charge their customers. The House wants to revise PSC members’ qualifications. The Senate wants to reduce the commission to five members and pay them more to attract more-qualified candidates. The House and Senate also introduced bills to create a position for a consumer advocate who will be responsible for representing only utility customers. The House bill places the advocate in the attorney general’s office, while the Senate wants the po-

sition to work with the Office of Regulatory Staff. Both houses want to give the office the subpoena power to get information from utilities after SCANA didn’t release a 2016 audit that contained concerns about construction and oversight problems at V.C. Summer. Sen. John Scott, D-Columbia, introduced a bill that would allow the relocation, removal, or renaming of Confederate monuments erected on public property under jurisdiction of political subdivisions in the state, including schools. The Heritage Protection Act, which was passed in 2000, says that no historical monument can be altered or moved without a two-thirds vote in both chambers of the General Assembly. Confederate monuments have been removed in cities and towns across the country in response to the Mother Emanuel church massacre in Charleston in 2015. Rep. Gary Clary, R-Clemson, introduced a bill that would ban the possession and distribution of devices intended to accelerate the rate of fire of a semi-automatic firearm. The gunman who opened fire on a concert crowd from a Las Vegas hotel room had rifles equipped with bump stocks. Clary is also a main sponsor of a bill that invalidates pre-dispute arbitration agreements in sex-discrimination disputes between employees and employers.

SECOND CHANCE

Rep. Wendell Gilliard, D-Charleston, wants to privatize South Carolina’s school bus system, something he proposed years ago. South Carolina is the only state in the country that owns and maintains its school bus fleet, which is also one of the oldest in the nation. More than half the school buses in the state are older than 15 years. Rep. Bill Taylor, R-Aiken, proposed creating an Office of Freedom of Information Act Review within the state’s Administrative Law Court that hears disputes regarding public information requests. Supporters say it will be able to handle cases more promptly than Circuit Court.

TIME, MONEY, AND REST

Rep. Alan Clemmons, R-Myrtle Beach, wants voters to decide whether South Carolina should continue to observe daylight saving time. Daylight saving time has been observed since the 1960s as a way to conserve energy. Currently, only Arizona and Hawaii do not observe daylight saving time. If the bill passes, the advisory referendum would be held in November. Sen. Harvey Peeler, R-Gaffney, wants a Senate committee to study the feasibility and economic impact of eliminating daylight saving time. Drivers would have to yield the right-of-way to a physician responding to an emergency call in a private vehicle equipped with a green light under a bill filed by Rep. Greg Duckworth, R-North Myrtle Beach. Clemmons proposed a law that would not hold churches criminally or civilly liable if they allow a concealed weapon permit holder to carry a weapon on their premises and they are involved in an incident. Sen. Richard Cash, R-Powdersville, wants to allow concealed weapon permit holders to have weapons on school grounds that are leased for church activities during church hours. Rep. Garry R. Smith, R-Simpsonville, wants to create an adult abuse registry similar to the state’s sex offender registry. Anyone convicted of a crime, or those who are found by the “preponderance of the evidence” that they have committed an act of abuse, neglect, or exploitation as determined by an investigating agency, could have their names placed on the registry. Smith is also a sponsor of a bill that requires the S.C. Election Commission to add a box on the state voter registration application for registrants to voluntarily disclose their political party affiliation. The bill says the information could not be used to restrict primary voting. Clary proposed a law that would prohibit a person who has made a campaign contribution to an elected official within the previous four years from being appointed to public office by that official. Sen. William Timmons, R-Greenville, wants to study a standardized paperless incident and case management system for the state’s solicitors, public defenders, and law enforcement agencies. Rep. Jason Elliott, R-Greenville, is among the sponsors of a bill that would create an independent commission that would reapportion districts for the House, the Senate, and the state’s congressional districts. Rep. Todd Rutherford, D-Richland, introduced a bill that would increase penalties for trains blocking traffic for more than five minutes from up to $20 per lane to $5,000 per lane. Sen. Katrina Shealy, R-Lexington, filed a bill that requires drivers to complete a human-trafficking prevention course before they are issued a Class A commercial driver’s license.

BEHIND THE WHEEL

Guard Your Life Challenge teaches teen drivers how to adapt to hazardous situations WORDS BY TREVOR ANDERSON Photo provided

Victoria Tave Humphries aspired to help children. Tragically, the 16-year-old Greenville County teen’s dreams were cut short in the single-car crash that claimed her life on the night of July 17, 2012, at Highway 14 and River Road near Greer. Although devastated by the loss of Victoria, or “Vic” as she was known to those closest to her, the Humphries family decided that the story of their beloved daughter and sister wouldn’t end there. Shortly after Victoria’s death, the Humphries family founded the South Carolinabased nonprofit Guard Your Life Challenge and established a safety course for teen drivers. The course is supported by the BMW Performance Center, Spartanburg Countybased BMW Manufacturing Co. employees, Entercom Upstate, and Clemson University’s International Center for Automotive Research. “She was super outgoing, compassionate, energetic, and full of life,” said her father, John Humphries, an Upstate construction professional. “She wanted to pursue a career that helped kids. So while this was probably not what she would’ve thought of, we felt like the best way to honor her was to help her dreams come true.” Since its inception, the course, which is held periodically at the BMW Performance Center at 1155 Highway 101 S. near Greer, has taught 900 Upstate drivers between the ages of 15 and 19 how to protect themselves behind the wheel. On Dec. 10, the family joined with program supporters and participants to mark the fifth anniversary of the Guard Your Life Challenge with a special dedication. A young cherry tree was planted in memory of Victoria near an entryway at the BMW Performance Center. Each year, as the tree blossoms, passers-by can be inspired to think of all the lives touched by her memory. “It feels very nice,” Humphries said. “But I guess you could say it is a bit of a double-edged sword for my family. On one hand, my family has to relive the event and the emotions. On the other hand, you’re watching 60 other kids get the opportunity to come in and do something that will hopefully keep them and their families from experiencing something like we did. It’s extremely fulfilling and therapeutic. The week leading up to the event, you’re a bundle of nerves.” The challenge centers on the fact that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teens — about 16 fatalities per day in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And drivers between 16 and 19 are three times more likely than drivers age 20 and older to be involved in a fatal crash. According to the Guard Your Life Challenge, teens are highly susceptible to driving distractions, and 66 percent of the fatalities of passengers riding with a young driver are within the same age group. “As a parent, you do the very best you can to prepare your kids for adulthood,” Humphries said. “When they go off on their own, they have to make their own decisions. I feel that most of our standard drivers-ed courses are taught under normal circumstances — ideal conditions. What we do, what the Performance Center does,

is to put some more tools in their toolbox. That way if they ever find themselves in a situation, it will help them respond in a way that will help prevent it from becoming a catastrophic situation.” For example, Humphries said, one student remembered how to activate her vehicle’s anti-lock braking system. “This girl sent us a message telling us that someone had ran a red light,” he said. “While she was in a crash, she knew how to apply the brakes and responded correctly. Instead of taking the impact in the driver’s-side door, her vehicle took the impact in the front quarter panel. You’re talking about milliseconds that could have make the difference from just a wreck that she walked away from and serious injury or worse.” Data gathered by the program with the help of CU-ICAR show that two-thirds of Guard Your Life Challenge participants reported having used skills learned in the class. More than three-quarters said they have changed their driving behaviors because of the class, while two-thirds reported avoiding motor vehicle crashes using the skills they have learned through the challenge. He said that as the region’s population grows, traffic will increase, which makes it even more likely the Upstate’s roads could become more dangerous. “We started this with the premise that if we can save just one life, then it’s worth it,” Humphries said. The challenge features half-day driving classes held at the BMW Performance Center. The classes are held on four dates each year, with two classes held per day. Those classes are designed to educate teens on the dangers of distracted driving, as well as teach basic braking skills and give teens a feel for stability, traction control, and ABS systems, and the effect these systems have on the vehicle. Led by BMW Performance Driving instructors, each class includes time both in the classroom and behind the wheel. In the classroom, students learn general driving safety, how to properly sit in the car, seat and mirror adjustment, and more. Then students drive new BMWs in three different areas, including skid recovery, distractions, and emergency braking. “We are proud to support Guard Your Life,” said Dan Gubitosa, manager of BMW Performance Centers for BMW of North America. “Teen driver safety education and awareness is part of our mission at the BMW Performance Center, and Guard Your Life programs provide an additional avenue to further promote that mission.” Humphries said he hopes to eventually expand the program and find sponsorships that could support corporate driving school events. The next Guard Your Life Challenge is planned for March. The organization plans to announce exact dates for 2018 in January, Humphries said. Participants can register online. Classes are free, but registrants are asked to provide a $75 refundable deposit to secure their reservation. The deposit can be refunded after the class or donated to help cover the cost of future classes.

GHS PARTNERS WITH KIYATEC TO BOOST EFFECTIVENESS OF CANCER TREATMENTS ANDREW MOORE | STAFF

amoore@communityjournals.com

The Greenville Health System Cancer Institute and KIYATEC have announced a new partnership to provide ovarian cancer patients with access to series of diagnostic tests that can indicate how their tumors respond to chemotherapy drugs. Researchers hope the tests will reduce the need for patients to undergo treatments that may not work or cause pain, according to a press release. “Human cells are as unique as the patients themselves, so you really need to see the way those cells interact with given drugs to know for certain what treatment will work,” said Matthew Gevaert, CEO of KIYATEC. “By placing each patient’s cancer cells in conditions that mimic the actual human body, we can drill down to drug effect on the cellular level and establish the connection between the results we see in the lab and the response we hope to see in the patients.” KIYATEC is a Greenville-based company that develops predictive diagnostic tests by using the patient’s own cells, which are placed in a three-dimensional cell culture and exposed to various cancertreatment drugs at differing concentra-

tions to determine their response level. The response level within the culture is then used to make an informed prediction of patient responsiveness to a given treatment option. Gevaert said the test is the result of a nearly six-year study, which in initial analysis has yielded 93 percent accuracy. KIYATEC received support from the GHS Institute for Translational Oncology Research, where its offices and labs are located. “KIYATEC’s three-dimensional cancer models may well allow clinicians to predict drug choice for cancer patients with greater precision and speed. Additionally, these same models can help companies develop new drugs with less expense,” said Dr. W. Jeffrey Edenfield, medical director of the GHS Institute for Translational Oncology Research. Ovarian cancer patients at the GHS Cancer Institute will be the first to benefit from these tests through clinical studies. Patients who choose to participate in the studies will have their results used to help inform patient treatment decisions. KIYATEC plans to offer the tests to patients with other cancers within the coming year.

WILLIAM HERLONG WILL RUN FOR STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Greenville attorney and former Greenville County School Board member William Herlong said Wednesday, Dec. 13, he is running for state attorney general as a Republican. Herlong, 59, said he would make an official announcement in January. “South Carolina is a truly wonderful place, but the corruption in our state capital threatens us, our reputation, and our way of life,” Herlong said in an email disclosing his intention. “The AG is the one officer who must do everything in his power to prevent and punish corruption. Our current AG has failed in that duty. In fact, he has actively worked to block others from pursuing corruption.” Current Attorney General Alan Wilson, who has been said to have gubernatorial aspirations, drew criticism earlier this year when he tried last year to block appointed special prosecutor David Pascoe from using the state grand jury to examine alleged misconduct by state legislators. Eventually, the South Carolina Supreme Court ruled that Pascoe had

acted within his authority. “A competent AG must be dedicated, honest, fair, and trustworthy. He must be a successful, independent, seasoned professional and must know where politics belongs and where it does not. He must be relentless and utterly unafraid to challenge the ‘powers that be,’” Herlong said in the email. Herlong continued, “The first antidote to corruption is a new AG who is dead-level serious about challenging the status quo and prosecuting malfeasance, regardless of title or influence, and who has the ability and the will to make that happen.” Herlong, who said he is not a politician and does not have interest in making the attorney general’s office a steppingstone to run for governor or senator, grew up in South Carolina and returned to the state in 1989, when he moved to Greenville after living in Chicago, Charlotte, N.C., and Washington, D.C. He has practiced law for 32 years, the last 13 years in his own firm. Herlong served two terms on the Greenville County School Board, a nonpartisan office.

Greenville Zoo giraffe is pregnant again The Greenville Zoo announced last week that Autumn, an 11-year-old Masai giraffe, could give birth to a calf as early as February. The zoo’s veterinary staff confirmed the pregnancy through hormone analysis earlier this month, according to zoo director Jeff Bullock. This marks Autumn’s fourth pregnancy, but her first with Miles, an 8-year-old Masai giraffe who was born at the Houston Zoo and transferred to Greenville in September 2016. “Baby news is always exciting and we’re looking forward to welcoming a new member of the zoo family,” Bullock said. “To add to the excitement, because Miles is such a tall giraffe, we’re especially curious and anxious to see what his first calf will look like.” Like a majority of the animals at the Greenville Zoo, Autumn and Miles are part of a cooperative breeding program known as a Species Survival Program. The purpose of the program is to monitor captive populations and make breeding recommendations based on genetic

variability and spaces available at other accredited institutions to ensure a longterm viable population without removing animals from the wild, according to Bullock. The Masai giraffe is the largest subspecies of giraffe and the tallest land mammal in the world, according to the Wild Nature Institute. It is currently listed as “vulnerable to extinction” because of habitats loss and poaching, which have reduced the population by more than 50 percent in the last three decades. There are currently 118 Masai giraffes in zoos around the world. Autumn was originally transferred to the Greenville Zoo from Boston’s Franklin Park Zoo in 2007 to be paired with Walter, the zoo’s former male Masai giraffe, as part of a breeding loan. Their first calf, Kiko, was born on Oct. 22, 2012, and was transferred to the Toronto Zoo in 2015. Their second calf, Roho, was stillborn on Aug. 20, 2014. Their third calf, Tatu, was born on Feb. 2, 2016 and was recently transferred to the Lehigh Valley Zoo in Pennsylvania. Bullock said zoo staff will continue to monitor Autumn’s condition and keep fans updated on her progress through the zoo’s Facebook page. The public can also monitor the pregnancy and view the birth on the zoo’s webcam. —Andrew Moore

Liberal Arts – without being too Liberal.

NORTH GREENVILLE UNIVERSITY is a private liberal arts institution affiliated with the South Carolina Baptist Convention and recognized as one of the most notable conservative Christian universities.* NGU features more than 50 undergraduate, online undergraduate, and graduate degree options, and students can complete their coursework at NGU’s campus in Tigerville, SC; its sister campus in Greer, SC; or completely online. Our main campus is located at the foothills of the scenic Blue Ridge Mountains in northern Greenville County, SC — less than 20 miles north of the award-winning city of Greenville, which both Livability.com and U.S. News and World Report have called a best place to live in the U.S.

State residents eligible for gas tax credit South Carolina residents may want to start saying yes when it comes to getting receipts at gas pumps. When state lawmakers voted last summer to increase the state’s motor fuel tax two cents each year until 2022 to help pay for road improvements and

maintenance, they also passed an income tax credit for up to two vehicles or motorcycles for each resident taxpayer. The credit is calculated based on motor fuel purchased in South Carolina and preventative vehicle maintenance done in the state. The tax credit may be claimed beginning in tax years 2018 through 2022. Taxpayers wanting to claim the credit should begin saving receipts Jan. 1. Each resident taxpayer may include up to two private passenger vehicles that are registered in South Carolina. To claim the credit, a taxpayer must maintain documentation of expenses and fill out South Carolina Form I-385 when filing their income tax return. Documentation includes fuel receipt or credit card statements that show number of gallons purchased in South Carolina during the tax year and maintenance invoices showing the car model, amount, and type of preventative maintenance performed. Fuel purchased and preventative maintenance performed outside of the state may not be used to determine the credit. —Cindy Landrum

Mills annexed, declared abandoned for tax credit purposes Two textile mills — Woodside and Plush — have been annexed into Greenville and declared abandoned by the city, qualifying developers who want to transform the properties for tax credits. The Greenville City Council finalized annexation of the nearly 17-acre Woodside Mill site at Woodside Avenue and East Main Street in West Greenville, and the 3-acre Plush Mill on Easley Bridge Road.

In addition, the Council certified both mills as abandoned textile mill sites, qualifying them for tax credits to help offset the cost of rehabilitating, renovating, and redeveloping the sites. Woodside Mill was once the largest cotton mill under one roof in the world. Woodside Mill Properties LLC wants to turn the mill property into approximately 300 for-rent residential units, office space, an event venue, retail, and a brewery or restaurants, according to a planned development agreement with the city. Built in 1925, Plush Mill was the first in South Carolina to make plush, a fabric with a soft and luxurious feel, according to historical research on the property. The mill, designed by J.E. Sirrine, a well-known architect of the time, closed in 1983. The site is across U.S. 123 from the Bon Secours St.

SET FREE ALLIANCE WORKS TO END CHILD SLAVERY IN INDIA WORDS BY ANDREW MOORE PHOTOS PROVIDED BY SET FREE ALLIANCE When David Moorhead first visited India in 2012, it left a lasting impression. “I was so destroyed when I got back home that I couldn’t even speak with my own wife. It was like I was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder or something,” said Moorhead, a Simpsonville resident. “I couldn’t stop thinking about all the kids who had been taken from their homes and forced into slavery. I just couldn’t process it.” Although officially abolished by the Indian government almost four decades ago, the practice of bonded child labor is on the rise, especially in rural areas. It’s estimated that 13 million children, between the ages of 5 and 14, are forced to work in the country’s stone quarries, fields, factories, brothels, and private households. Many of the children are sold to employers by their own families in an attempt to pay off debts. On average, they spend four years in slavery. But some of them never escape due to high interest rates and low wages, eventually passing the debt to a younger sibling, parent, or their own child.

times larger than what an untouchable usually earns. We give them a chance at life.” Set Free Alliance also recently built a 180,000-square-foot campus on 6 acres in Andhra Pradesh to house children who have been rescued by the Sylom Pastors League. The three-building campus, which opened earlier this year, includes a cafeteria, kitchen, pantry, medical center, classrooms, bathrooms, offices, and dorms. It can house up to 2,000 children, according to Moorhead.

Financing freedom

Like most nonprofits, Set Free Alliance relies on private donors, foundations, and sponsors to cover operational expenses, ranging from salaries and travel to office rent and fundraising events. That includes the nonprofit’s annual Keys to Freedom Gala at the TD Convention Center in Greenville. This year’s gala, held in September, raised $1.3 million to support the Sylom Pastors League. Moorhead said 100 percent of all public donations are sent to the Sylom Pastors League.

Cliffs residents present $45,248 to Upstate Warrior Solution

Meyer Center receives $22,500 donation from Wells Fargo

Residents of the Cliffs, Upstate Warrior Solution representatives, local warriors, and their families gathered together Dec. 7 so that residents of The Cliffs could present a $45,248 check to benefit the UWS Family Support Program, which is active in Greenville, Spartanburg, Pickens, Oconee, and Anderson counties. The proceeds were raised during the Annual Memorial Day Golf Tournament. Upstate Warrior Solution is a community-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that connects warriors and their families to resources and opportunities, as well as inspires them and ensures they are part of the community. The organization hopes to restore the warriors’ sense of purpose and empower the community to be responsive to veterans. The president of UWS, Charlie Hall, was at the event, as well as UWS tournament committee member Michael Wallach and Upstate veterans and their families.

The Wells Fargo Foundation presented a check to the Meyer Center for Special Children for $22,500 in support of children with special needs. The gift will directly benefit the lives of the children at the Meyer Center by supporting their education, therapy, guidance, and care in order to grow developmentally. The Wells Fargo Foundation has been supporting programs at the Meyer Center for over a decade. The Meyer Center has been dedicated to helping children in need of developmental education and therapy services for over 60 years. They aim to help children with special needs reach their maximum potential, and they currently serve nearly 100 children.

‘On Your Feet!’ tells Gloria and Emilio Estefan’s very American story CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

To Nancy Ticotin, Gloria and Emilio Estefan have a very American story. “Their story is the American dream,” says Ticotan, who plays Gloria Estefan’s mother, Gloria Fajardo, in “On Your Feet!” the musical based on the lives of the husband-and-wife team of Gloria and Emilio Estefan. “It’s a story of perseverance and hard work and never giving up.” “On Your Feet!” opens at the Peace Center on Tuesday, Dec. 26, for an eight-show run. Coming from humble beginnings in Cuba, Gloria and Emilio Estefan were an immigrant success story, becoming arguably America’s most successful Latin crossover team that paved the way for other Latin stars including Ricky Martin, Jennifer Lopez, and Shakira. Ticotin’s favorite moment in the jukebox musical is when Emilio is arguing with a record label executive about the crossover appeal of the Miami Sound Machine. Emilio wants to record in English. The label demands they stick to the Spanishlanguage songs that have been successful so far, saying that he wasn’t back home anymore so he didn’t make the rules. “Look at my face,” Emilio says. “Whether you know it or not, this is what an American looks like.” Ticotin says the line always generates applause. Ticotin says the role of Gloria Fajardo fits her perfectly.

“I get to sing, dance, and act, and combine it with my ethnicity,” she says. “There aren’t too many roles like that out there.” One of the biggest challenges Ticotin has in the role is keeping her focus to be prepared to do a dramatic scene when a number such as Estefan’s hit “You’ll Be Mine (Party Time)” is on stage. “I’ll be bouncing in my chair, tapping my toe, and singing along, and I’m like, ‘No, stay focused,’” she says. Her character is the antagonist in the production. While Gloria and Emilio were in love, her mother did not accept him. Mother and daughter hadn’t talked the two years before Gloria Estefan’s tour bus was involved in a violent wreck in 1990 and she suffered a fractured spine. The conflict ended when Fajardo arrived at the hospital in the middle of the night to find a devastated, worried Emilio there. Ticotin has appeared in films including “Ransom,” “The Wiz,” and “First Wives Club,” and television shows “Law & Order,” “Law & Order: SVU,” and “Orange is the New Black.” She is an original member of Ballet Hispanico of New York. On Broadway, she’s appeared in “The King & I,” “West Side Story,” “Jerome Robbins’ Broadway,” “Damn Yankees,” “In the Heights,” and the one-woman show “Wild Woman.” “On Your Feet!” includes Estefan hits such as “Rhythm is Gonna Get You,” “Conga,” “Get on Your Feet,” “Don’t Want to Lose You Now,” “1-2-3,” and “Coming out of the Dark.”

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Ashland Craft didn’t win NBC’s ‘The Voice,’ but she achieved her main goal: to grow as an artist VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR

vharris@communityjournals.com

Lasting for 12 weeks on NBC’s “The Voice” is no easy task, but that’s what Piedmont’s Ashland Craft did from September to early December. The 21-year-old Craft, who’s been honing her talent in South Carolina honkytonks for years, nailed her blind audition with a slow, soulful rendition of “You Are My Sunshine,” causing judges Blake Shelton, Miley Cyrus, and Adam Levine to all hit their buzzers and vie for Craft to be on their team. Craft ultimately chose Cyrus as her coach and moved through standards like “Delta Dawn” and “Good Hearted Woman,” along with more rockoriented material like Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive” and Joan Jett’s “I Hate Myself for Loving You,” making it deep into the Playoff round before being eliminated on Dec. 5. The Greenville Journal spoke with Craft a few days before that elimination, and she seemed at peace with whatever came next, confident about her abilities as a performer, and happy with what she’d accomplished. What was it like during the first few weeks, when you couldn’t talk about what was happening on the show yet? The hardest thing was not being able to share with people when I’d made it through a round. People were asking where I was, and I was only able to tell them that I was traveling and doing music stuff. But it paid off in the end when people watched the show and saw that I made it through.

Cyrus and the other coaches talked a lot about your confidence improving as the competition went on. Did you feel nervous or insecure at first? That was a little difficult, because I went into it thinking that I was super confident, and a lot of people talked about how I didn’t seem confident. It’s just that when you go from playing in the bars where you know people to playing for a crowd that you have to win over, it’s more complicated. You’re trying to win over a crowd that doesn’t know who you are, and it’s intimidating because you don’t know if they’re going to love you or hate you. But every time I got onstage, it got better. What do you think your strongest performances have been so far? My strongest performance was “Delta Dawn.” That was my breakout performance. Vocally, I would say that “Good Hearted Woman” was strong, too. I loved doing [The Zac Brown Band’s] “Chicken Fried,” but it was just such a hard song for me to perform, because I didn’t feel like it had any shining moments. I feel like I performed it well, but I didn’t feel like it had the dynamics that I wanted. Was it hard to come out from behind the guitar? You used it the first couple of weeks and then seemed to put it aside. I think coming out from behind the guitar was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do. But I needed to push myself to do it, because I felt like I was kind of hiding behind the guitar and not performing as much as I wanted to. I was like, “OK, I’m going to stay away from playing for the next couple of rounds just to show my

performance style.” At home, all I ever did was play guitar and sing. I never performed without it. It was a big step for me, but it’s paid off because I feel myself getting better as a performer without it.

someone’s eliminated, we’re all devastated. Everyone’s made the experience so much better than I thought it would be.

What’s surprised you the most about this experience? How close everybody has gotten. How nice people are. Because when I came into this, I thought this whole thing was going to be everybody at each other’s throats trying to win, but when I got here, everybody bonded more than I ever thought possible. We’re like a family. Every time

Regardless of the results, what do you think you’ll take away from this experience? I think the biggest thing has been how far I’ve pushed myself. I’d be OK with going home, because I’ve accomplished everything that I wanted with this experience. … I came here to make myself a better artist, and to learn from other people and see how far I could push myself. And I feel like I’ve done that. I can happily go home knowing that I did what I came out here to do.

STUDIO ROUNDUP

Don’t Forget to Take Care of the Caregiver Taking care of an elderly parent offers many benefits...strengthening the parent-child bond, bringing fulfillment and happiness, boosting quality of life. But regardless of these advantages and the love a family caregiver has for the recipient of their attention, caregiving can be emotionally and physically draining. This is especially true when added to other responsibilities at work and home. Photos by Alex Reynolds

Caregiving in the United States, released in 2004 by the National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP, reports that 44 million Americans – 21 percent of all U.S. households – provide care for an adult family member or friend. MetLife reported in a study that about 60 percent of employed caregivers have had to make some work-related adjustments to accommodate caregiving. This results in an estimated $33 billion loss in productivity. Over time, without relief and assistance, caregiving can take a mental and physical toll on family caregivers. The Family Caregiver Alliance reports that 40 to 70 percent of caregivers show clinically significant symptoms of depression. The Center on Aging Society adds that 1 in 10 family caregivers report that their responsibilities have caused their physical health to worsen. Stephen McConnell, senior vice president of advocacy and public policy for the Alzheimer’s Association, testified before the U.S. Senate Special Committee on Aging that 1 in 8 Alzheimer caregivers becomes ill or injured in the course of caregiving.

TAYLORS MILL 250 Mill St., Taylors Spaces ranging from 200-1,000 square feet Rates range from $185-$675 Artists: David Butts, Elizabeth Napier, Jonathan Moore, Mary Denman, Bob Ripley, Nathan Bertling, Nicholas Weidner, Tessha Zimmerman Dickey, and James Pittman

Family caregivers may feel guilty trying to find relief from the responsibilities of caregiving. But planned, periodic respites can benefit both caregiver and the cared for. Without breaks, caregivers can become stressed, resentful and even depressed. With a respite, they return to the task refreshed, reenergized and relaxed. Whether you’re just planning a day with friends or taking care of personal errands – or you want to get away on vacation – you have a variety of respite care options available. These include off-site alternatives, such as a nursing home or adult day care center. Or you and your loved one may feel more comfortable with the familiar – that is, arranging for other family members or friends to fill in for you in your loved one’s home. This is a common request for support that Comfort Keepers® offices across the US regularly support. You could also make arrangements to get relief from a professional in-home senior care provider, which can schedule specially-trained caregivers in your loved one’s home for any amount of time needed during your respite. Before planning respite care, be sure to talk with your loved one about it, so that he or she understands the benefit for both of you. Explain that you will be better able to provide the necessary care if you have occasional time to yourself. To help your loved one accept the idea, involve him or her in making the respite care arrangements. For more information and to find out how we can help you, please call, visit us in person or go online.

‘What’s Old is New’

Saskatoon Lodge, designed to look like a timeworn cabin, opens with new gardens on the 9-acre property Words by Ariel Turner Photos by Will Crooks At 2 p.m. Dec. 5, the new 7,500-square-foot Saskatoon Lodge, 681 Halton Road, received approval to open, and three hours later it began dinner service. “We moved over a couple of pieces of equipment, and we opened at 5,” owner Edmund Woo says. “It was awful. It was very challenging.” Because of previously booked holiday parties that were too big for the former location of 23 years at 477 Haywood Road, Woo and his staff had to make it work. They had planned to be open in November, but with typical project delays, that didn’t happen. The new location, which has the same rustic huntinglodge decor as the previous location, but on a grander scale thanks to Treehugger Customs’ work, sits on a

9-acre development at Halton and Haywood roads. It is part 100-seat event space, with an outdoor patio and unique peaked ceiling, and part 120-seat restaurant, with a kitchen large enough to handle both of those operations along with a separate staff assembling 2,500 chef-prepared paleo meals available for pickup on a weekly basis. “Pretty much two different staffs all over each other,” Woo says of the previous location. Now, that’s not an issue. The design inspiration came from Woo’s admiration of Walt Disney’s creativity and the desire to create a true destination feel in a suburban area. “We need to make it look like, if Walt Disney were still here and built us a lodge, what would it look like,” Woo says. As for what he told Treehugger Customs when they

were designing the aesthetic, there’s a storyline that he began brainstorming 25 years ago: “This building we have found, it’s been here for a couple hundred years, and we dusted it off and this is what it looked like. In a lot of old buildings and structures, what you will see is you have the initial structure, and then things are added on, as the family grew.” Woo describes the three distinct areas of the restaurant as the initial structure with traditional logs, the second area with a board-and-batten look, and the third in Tennessee-log style. “There’s a thousand ideas in here, and about half of those had to be challenged or changed in midflow,” Woo says of the process. The design also features two murals by Greenville artists, one by Kim Granner in the Tennessee-log section, and one by Ric Standridge in the lobby, which is illuminated by two projectors that change the lighting throughout the day to mimic the sun’s rising and setting. Known since 1995 for its wild-game offerings, the Saskatoon menu remains the same to maintain continuity for longtime guests. Woo says if this were a new concept, with new staff and new menu, the hasty opening would not have been successful or even possible. The catering menu features a buffet with a wild-game carving station. “Wild game is always best if it comes off the grill and

eaten,” Woo says. “It’s not something you want to leave sitting on a buffet table.” One of the main differences, however, is that the side dishes for the main entrees will likely change according to produce grown on-site, Woo says. “I want to do this on a pretty grand scale, because we have the land to do it,” he says. The property, which is bordered by Haywood and Halton roads, the Greenville Health System Swamp Rabbit Trail extension, and Woodruff Road, has been registered as a farm, with Chris Miller of That Garden Guy LLC planning and maintaining the gardens. So far, Miller has built and planted

nearly two dozen potager gardens (French kitchen gardens) in three areas around the entrance, which will grow herbs, greens, and beets, among other crops. Ten 50-foot garden beds are in process on the back side of the property, as well. The decision to add on-site farming to the restaurant may seem as though Woo is following farm-to-table trends, when in reality, his parents, who opened the first Chinese restaurant in Greenville 35 years ago, had a 3-acre garden. “My mom farmed all the veggies that we were using at the restaurant, not realizing what’s old is new again,” Woo says. “Now everyone’s doing farm-to-table.”

THERAPY FOR EVERYBODY The Holiday Survival Guide

Travel Advisory… For many of us, the more time we spend in our cars driving to see family or to the ends of the earth for that last minute gift, the more of a pain in the neck and back it becomes...literally! To make your travels more pleasant, try this: As you’re driving, it is important that you maintain a relatively straight spine. When the curves in your spine increase, so does the strain on your low back, neck, and shoulders. Keep your seat adjusted so that your spine and seat are in approximately a 90 degree angle to each other, with your arms and legs within easy reach of the wheel and pedals. This will help keep you, your neck, back, and shoulders in the holiday spirit. The Kitchen Marathon... Turkeys and cookies and pies... Oh my! The kitchen marathon is a grueling test of both culinary skill and physical endurance. Often your lower back becomes the first to succumb to the pressure. It begins to hurt when the curve in your lower spine increases. This commonly occurs from standing in the same position for an extended period of time. One way to combat this is to stand with one foot slightly elevated. In your kitchen, simply open a cabinet door and place the ball of your foot on the lower shelf. This will minimize the curve in your lower back, and give you the time you need to finish the race. Holiday Headaches... The holiday season is upon us and for many, so are the headaches that come with it. Headaches will start in your neck due to poor joint movement, muscle tension, and poor posture. Should you fall victim to a holiday headache, Elite can help! By correcting these problems, you can find relief from headaches and, best of all, learn exercises designed to minimize your headache’s intensity or even prevent their unwanted return all together. Cheers to a happy and healthy holiday season from your friends at Elite Integrated Therapy Centers!

Furman University Art Contest

“Dancing with the Stars: Live! Light Up the Night” is coming to Greenville on New Year’s Eve. This is a special event for any “Dancing with the Stars” fans, as well as anyone who loves a good show. The show will primarily feature the professional dancers —some who have been with the show for many years — and for the first time it will also feature two previous celebrity contestants: actor Frankie Muniz and Broadway star Jordan Fisher. Fans who voted Muniz and Fisher into the finals will have a chance to see them perform live, along with the standout season 25 competitors.

Smith Moore Leatherwood LLP will host the third annual Furman University Juried Art Competition, ending on Jan. 11, 2018. Furman University art students will display their work in the lobby of Smith Moore Leatherwood’s Greenville office, which will be open to the public on weekdays during business hours. There will be pieces, available for purchase, in two- and three-dimensional media, which include fabric, painting, drawing, electronic media, photography, and sculpture. On Jan. 11, there will be a reception to conclude the event, and a winner, chosen by a panel of judges, will be announced. That artist will have their art purchased by the firm, where it will remain on display as part of Smith Moore Leatherwood’s permanent collection.

“We do a pretty good job of taking the fan favorites to the live tour show, but we make sure to have fun and fresh dancing. A lot of the professionals don’t get to dance together very often on the show, so it’s fun for us to do what we do best,” says Lindsay Arnold, a dancer and choreographer who has been with the show since 2013. –Sara Pearce

It https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeu_RqULgPo just depends on the vibe of the room.” And the best way to stay flexible for Pruitt is in a threepiece setting. “There’s a lot more freedom in a trio for a soloist to step out and not worry about stepping on someone else,” he says. “I enjoy playing with bigger bands, too, but a trio is a lot leaner and there’s more space to fill.” —Vincent Harris THU
