First Annual National Night Out for Simpsonville Beth Kelley Fann | beth@simpsonvillebanner.com Tuesday, July 29, 2014 The Simpsonville Police Department is partnering with Greenville Health System, the Simpsonville Area Chamber of Commerce, Safe Routes to Schools, the Blood Connection and Greenville County EMS to host the first National Night Out in Simpsonville.
WHEN Tuesday, August 5th 6:00 - 9:00 PM
NNO began exactly thirty years prior to Tuesday’s event, and according to their website 2.5 million Americans took part across 400 communities in 23 states. The evening tradition was inspired by the porch light vigils used across the nation to send a message to criminals that residents are alert and prepared.
WHERE City Park E. Curtis Street
That idea evolved into a night time celebration of community and camaraderie between residents and first responders.
Simpsonville’s free event will feature music, food and beverages, a Bicycle Rodeo, an Interactive Disc Golf Demonstration and Ultimate Frisbee Demonstration. In addition, the Chamber of Commerce and Hillcrest Memorial Hospital are hosting a VIP Cook-Out for First Responders & their families, as part of Simpsonville’s first annual National Night Out celebration. All local First Responders are invited to attend this part of NNO, which will be held at the tent located above the Tater Shed. P. Simpson’s is providing food for the cook-out, and Events at Sapphire Creek is helping with decorations. Community members are invited to attend the cookout portion for $10. The Chamber asks that attendees register in advance at simpsonvillechamber.com

Update on Simpsonville Narcotic Arrests Statistics
Beth Kelley Fann | beth@simpsonvillebanner.com Tuesday, July 29, 2014
On July 11, we published an article regarding narcotic-related arrests throughout Greenville County. While most statistics were easily obtained, when it came to Simpsonville we were asked to file a FOIA request to answer this question: How many narcotic-related arrests have been made over a one year period in Simpsonville?
The answer received is 136, for a one year period ending in June 2014. For the year previous, that number was 56. This tally is similar to other municipalities in Greenville County. The 136 arrests were made prior to the start of the 2014-15 budget that was enacted on July 1st.

Simpsonville Chooses New Charter Ampitheatre Management Beth Kelley Fann | beth@simpsonvillebanner.com Tuesday, July 29, 2014 Following the executive session for last Tuesday’s Special Meeting at City Hall, council voted to contract new management for Charter Ampitheatre at Heritage Park. After five years with the Greenville Arena District, Simpsonville will now be moving forward this fall with TRZ Management of Anderson. Who is TRZ? Since they are in the business of promoting others - and not themselves - that information was not readily available. However, research into the groups and events supported by TRZ reveals undeniable accomplishment and upward growth. Owned by Roger Dickson, TRZ is the machine behind The Great Anderson County Fair and the country group Outshyne. The Fair will be one of the first events lined up for Simpsonville and boasts ten concerts in itself. Like he does in Anderson, Dickson plans to charge a $5 flat entry to the Fair when it comes to Heritage next spring,
allowing visitors to scale their experience based on what they want to spend. With Roger Dickson as long-time manager, Outshyne recently signed with Sony Records and is quickly becoming a well-known name in the country music industry. He is a big supporter of doing business locally, and will be partnering with Ray Bianco of Bianco Foods in Anderson. With the transition still a few months away, Dickson says he will spend the interim establishing the necessary contacts and building the team for Simpsonville. Dickson’s vision involves more events than before. He still plans on headline acts, alternating with smaller shows geared toward local audiences. Christian music and athletic events were two of many possibilities discussed. All of the plans center around one idea - serving the city of Simpsonville. Dickson spoke of close
partnerships with the city and first responders, and is prepared to work closely with all. His primary contacts with the city will be with interim City Administrator David Dyrhaug and Parks and Recreation Director Robbie Davis. “We took all of the deficit and risk out of the city’s hands,” Dickson stated of his proposal in an interview on Monday. Roger Dickson is an Anderson county native and a current Greenville resident. On a personal level, Dickson is glad to be working close to home. As a father of seven, cutting back on touring with different acts and events was a big plus. In years past Simpsonville has hosted large acts such as Mumford and Sons, The Black Keys, Darius Rucker and Willie Nelson. The final show hosted by Greenville Arena District will be Judas Priest on October 26.

Westwood: A Community Revival Beth Kelley Fann | beth@simpsonvillebanner.com Tuesday, July 29, 2014 When Westwood first began selling homes in the 1960s, two hundred dollars was all a homeowner needed to put down on a brand new home. For that amount, new owners found themselves excitedly selecting the perfect shade for the shag carpeting, or wrestling with the choice between avocado or harvest gold appliances. Let me tell you what I like about living in Westwood: I like that it’s an

peaceful. But more than that, I like that our next-door neighbor gifts us the surplus vegetables from his garden; I like that our across-the-street neighbor loves our dogs and jumps at the opportunity to pet-sit when we’re out of town; I like that if one of my neighbors is out mowing his lawn and notices another hasn’t had time to get to hers, he’ll just keep mowing until that yard’s done, too. I like that we’re those neighbors too. Neighborhoods are just better when neighbors are neighborly. Westwood is a big neighborhood, and the Westwood Summer Potluck is a chance to grow that neighborliness—to strengthen the sense of community— by building relationships with the people who live beside and near us. -Jennifer Hulehan, Westwood Resident

Veterans Corridor of Honor on I-385 to be Unveiled Next Month Beth Kelley Fann | beth@simpsonvillebanner.com | Tuesday, July 29, 2014
WHEN Wednesday, September 5 10:00 AM
WHERE Along I-385 at mile markers 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32 and 34.
Final preparations are being made by the SC Department of Transportation to begin installation of signs for the “Veterans Corridor of Honor”, a stretch of interstate highway from Laurens to Mauldin. From the original press release:
A 12-mile portion of Interstate 385 in Greenville and Laurens counties is being designated the Veterans Corridor of Honor to recognize those who served in 20thand 21st-century wars involving the United States of America. Signs commemorating six conflicts will be placed at twomile intervals and revealed in a ceremony scheduled for 10 a.m. Sept. 5, between the 22- and 34-mile markers on I-385. At the beginning of the designated area on both the eastbound and westbound lanes will be a sign reading Entering the Veterans Corridor of Honor. Acting upon a request by the Foothills Chapter (No. 301) of the Korean War Veterans Association, the S.C. General Assembly passed a concurrent resolution sponsored by Reps. Mike Burns, Dwight Loftis, Garry Smith and Mark Willis in the House and Sen. Tom Corbin in the Senate
to allow the recognition. The Korean War Veterans Association raised the money to pay for the signs within a week. On both the eastbound and westbound sides of I-385, the signs will be placed in chronological order of when the wars occurred. Beginning at mile marker 22 westbound, signs placed every two miles will commemorate veterans of World War I, World War II (mile 24), the Korean War (26), the Vietnam War (28), the Gulf Wars (30) and other undeclared conflicts (32) involving U.S. forces. Signs will begin at the 34-mile marker eastbound with the commemoration of World War I veterans. This is believed to be the first location where veterans of multiple wars involving the United States have been recognized in such a fashion on a stretch of highway. Veterans and family members of veterans are invited to attend the ceremony. Mile marker 22 is located between S.C. 14 and S.C. 418. Mile marker 34 is located between Butler Road and Bridges Road.

Hitting the Trails Leah Childress | leah@simpsonvillebanner.com Monday, July 28, 2014
“They are much to be pitied who have not been given a taste for nature early in life.” –Jane Austen Many of my fondest memories of childhood involve some sort of outdoor exploration. And having grown up in the upstate of South Carolina, that outdoor time usually played out against the backdrop of the enchanting Blue Ridge Mountains. So naturally, I want my children to be immersed in the same beauty and wonder of the landscape I remember so warmly. This past weekend, my husband and I took the kids (Sera, 4, and Miles, 1) up to Table Rock for a day in the mountains. We planned to hike the Carrick Creek Trail and photograph any interesting things we found along the way. Then we’d go through our photos once we arrived back home and research our findings. We decided to drive up after Miles’s nap time once the air had cooled down a bit. We started our hike around 3 o’clock. The first part of the trail takes you up an asphalt path, past a large, shallow pool fed by the falls at the end of Carrick Creek. The majority of the first half of the trail loop follows along the creek with plenty of chances for little ones to stop, explore and play in the water. Because of all the opportunities to venture off the path, cross water, and leap from rock to rock, this trail is always a hit with the kids despite us frequenting this hike. So to change things up a bit, we thought this particular day we’d try to sharpen our observation skills and look for new, surprising treasures along the way. We usually start off hiking and come back to the wading pool at the end as an after-hike treat. But this time, Sera was so entranced by the waterfall that we spent almost an hour and a half playing in and exploring the pool and surrounding rocks. We found tons of rhododendron, which Sera amusingly thought were “miniature palm-tree bushes.” She found a snail crawling up a tree nearby and spent a good ten minutes touching it and talking to it. After a good family water fight in the wading pool and many practice rounds of rock-skipping, we finally started up the trail. She found a tree covered in “green fuzzy stuff” and “steps for ants.” That provided a great chance for us to talk about moss and fungus. We then hiked up to the next bend where Sera discovered a “gross, shiny orange tree booger.” We assumed it was some sort of fungus and discovered later at home that it was, in fact, a fungus called Dacrymyces palmatus, an edible, but flavorless fungus. Despite all its gelatinous characteristics beckoning to us to try a bite, we somehow resisted the temptation. But it did provide a great opportunity to learn about how things in nature have common names and scientific names. We discovered a large patch of ferns blanketing the ground just off the path and talked about how some plants have changed very little since the time of the dinosaurs. This turned out to be one of the shortest hikes we’ve taken with the kids. We saw so many things that engaged us and held us up that we didn’t finish the trail. We only hiked about one quarter of the loop and turned back so we wouldn’t be caught out in the dark. But even though we didn’t finish as planned, we discovered so much more than we expected. And sometimes just going where your curiosity takes you proves to have the best lessons of all.

Southern Hospitality in a Garden Setting: The Garden House Bed & Breakfast Gary Fann | gary@simpsonvillebanner.com | Tuesday, July 29, 2014 Roy Shelton spent 30 years in the Marines, living all over the world. These days, he and his wife Frances are living out their dream, and they chose Simpsonville as the setting. While traveling with friends in Simpsonville, the Sheltons noticed a newly renovated house on historic South Main Street, and immediately fell in love with what they saw. In October of 2003, the Sheltons purchased the home and opened The Garden House Bed and Breakfast. For over 10 years, they have shared their dream with many strangers - strangers who quickly become friends. The house was originally built in 1905, and started as a one story cottage. After many additions and renovations, the home is now three stories, approximately 6000 square feet, and completely up to date inside. The Garden House is located just one mile from exit 27 on I-385 in the heart of the Golden Strip.
The home features five guest rooms furnished with the comfort of guests in mind. Cozy fireplaces anchor both the parlor and living room. Three covered porches take advantage of the fresh Carolina air and fragrant gardens. A walking path winds through the back of the property, and the trail is filled with botanicals and outdoor spaces. The house and garden are available for weddings, receptions, business meetings and other functions. The Garden House will design a package just right for you. Overnight guests will experience a different breakfast each morning and complimentary refreshments, hors d’oeuvres and dessert are served in the afternoon. To find out more about The Garden House, visit gardenhousebb.com or simply call (864) 963-3379. You can also find The Garden House on Facebook.
The Garden House is located at 302 S. Main Street, in downtown Simpsonville.

SMALL BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT | HISTORY UPDATE
Recording History
To donate to the Genealogical Research Room, visit gofundme.com/ bmhd60
Andrew Staton | andrew@simpsonvillebanner.com Monday, July 28, 2014 For two and a half years now, I have wanted to establish a place in Simpsonville for people to come and research their ancestors. I am excited to finally be able to announce that the Simpsonville Genealogical Research Room is going to be a reality. In January 2012, I met with thenCity Administrator Russell Hawes to discuss my idea of a genealogy room for Simpsonville. Having been tirelessly researching my tree since 2009, I had traveled to several libraries, archives and research facilities across the Southeast, and I had seen the benefit of adding a genealogy research room to any location. Looking at the Simpsonville and Greenville County area, I realized that genealogical resources were sadly lacking. Aside from the South Carolina Room at the Hughes Main Library in Downtown Greenville (which is a wonderful resource in itself), Greenville County and particularly the Golden Strip area had nothing to offer family researchers. Unfortunately, the plan for a genealogy room in 2012 was not completed. Earlier this year, wonderful things began to happen in Simpsonville. Through the power of Facebook, the community began to come together and Simpsonville History became a growing local topic. Beth gave me the opportunity to be the history writer for the Banner, which I gladly accepted, a new Historic Simpsonville website was created, and I began to get involved with the Revolutionary War Museum in Simpsonville. I got to opportunity to meet many local history enthusiasts, and I brought
back my plan for a genealogy room in the city. This time, I was met with greater optimism. Now, with the support of many in the community (including readers of this publication!), I am officially relaunching an effort to establish a genealogy room. Last week, at the meeting of the Recreation Standing Committee meeting, the creation of a genealogy research room was discussed. Recreation director Robbie Davis, all three committee members, and members of the public in attendance were all supportive of the idea and willing to help it become a reality. This project can be made into a huge success, with the support of people like you. Since I have chosen to not ask for city funding on this project, donations will be essential to the project’s success. I have set up a GoFundMe account at http://www.gofundme. com/bmhd60 to accept these donations, and these funds will be put towards necessities such as bookshelves, copy fees and other supplies.

LOCAL EVENTS
Summer Events in Full Swing Across the Golden Strip Beth Kelley Fann | beth@simpsonvillebanner.com Saturday, July 26, 2014 Simpsonville has seen an event explosion of late, a result of the efforts of SAFi, the Main Street Chapter of the Chamber and many other locals, to promote foot traffic and to just have fun. The music started on Thursday night at Simpsonville Sings, with Synergy Violins performing at the foot of the Clock Tower. The Sings events each have a business sponsor, and this week was hosted by Me Salon and Day Spa. Visitors packed the Main Street strip from the Clock Tower to the Ice Cream Station. Friday night Carolina Olive Oil hosted SUMC’s Hosanna Brass, who delivered familiar favorites with unique style. Guests brought chairs or parked in listening range to enjoy the music. Next to the Ice Cream Station, and in front of the Rotary, Community Chapel came out to promote their event on Saturday. The group featured acoustic musicians and visual artist Tucker Rodkey from Philadelphia. All of Friday’s downtown events were harmoniously timed as well. Just as Hosanna Brass wrapped up, Jack Roper and the Weathermen were getting started over at the Tater Shed. Their performance was one of the summer series hosted by SAFi (Simpsonville Arts Foundation, Inc.). The turnout was large, and the band played on until 10 PM. Synergy Violins will return to Simpsonville on August 8, and will play at the Tater Shed. SAFi’s full Starlight Series schedule is available online. On Saturday night, neighboring city Fountain Inn hosted New Fire as part of their Summer Bluegrass Festival Series. Visit The Banner online at SimpsonvilleBanner.com to keep up with events in the Golden Strip.

Temple Baptist Church to Host Centennial Celebration Gary Fann | gary@simpsonvillebanner.com | Monday, July 28, 2014
In the early 1900s, the Woodside Mill community began gathering for worship in a building across the street from the mill known as the Forum. The Forum was located where the Activity and Senior Center is now. At that time there was only one Baptist church in the City of Simpsonville, First Baptist Church. Years passed and the Forum group joined other Baptists, and created Second Baptist Church. They met in the building where Cannon Funeral Home is now located. The Reverend L.B. Wood became the first pastor in 1922. In 1937, the congregation renamed the church to Temple Baptist Church.
The church thrived and grew, but faced hard times during the Great Depression. During those years the congregation could not pay the pastor’s salary. However the church survived, and continued to grow. In the 1940s, Temple Baptist Church began construction on a new building. The new Church was completed in 1946. But just three weeks later, tragedy struck. While heating water for a baptism that Sunday morning, the building caught fire. The members and the community stood outside and watched as the church burned to the ground. The fire destroyed most of the church records, making it impossible to give exact dates and names of prominent individuals and leaders who made certain the church was successful in the community. One could only imagine what was on the minds and hearts of those citizens of Simpsonville who witnessed the fire. It was reported that a small group of boys who had stood and watched the building burn ran home and gathered their pennies and nickels and then returned. The boys gave their money to the pastor to be used toward building another church.
Rebuilding efforts began immediately. With the help of Woodside Mill, who donated the land where Temple Baptist Church remains today, the project only took 10 months to complete. The building was renovated once in 1994 and again in 2012. Temple Baptist added a new Family Life Center in 2012, complete with an auditorium, classrooms and a state of the art basketball gym. On August 31st, Temple Baptist Church will celebrate 100 years in Simpsonville, SC. This will be a historic day for Temple Baptist, and the church has planned fellowship, events and many notable speakers. Friends old and new are invited to join the Temple Baptist congregation for morning service, and stay around afterwards for a traditional southern baptist lunch. The celebration is planned for all ages, and will include games, a dunk tank and a bounce house.

Disappointment Disappointment. We’ve all felt it at one point or another in our lives. Things
I’ll be honest. When I get disappointed I feel hurt. When I feel hurt, I get
don’t go the way you expect them to at work, with your relationship, with
angry. When I get angry, I want to literally hit something. Hard. Really,
your children… The list of things that disappoint us can be endless. People
really hard. Hey, I’m human. I have learned that while disappointment
disappoint us. A trusted friend doesn’t respond the way you think he or
is inevitable at some point in our lives, it is not the end, and it’s not
she should, your boss doesn’t appreciate the extra work you put in over
permanent. 2 Corinthians 12:9 says “...My grace is sufficient for thee: for
the weekend; as I said, the list could be endless. Disappointment hurts.
my strength is made perfect in weakness…” Does this automatically fix
The question is not when will we be disappointed, the question is not even where, why, or by whom. The biggest question is how you will handle it. Will you sit back, let it roll over you like a wave and take you completely under? Will you fight back in anger or hurt at who or whatever disappointed you until they feel that same disappointment and pain? Will you bottle it up inside only to explode later, possibly at someone that had absolutely nothing to do with it?
everything? No, but neither will chocolate, or money, or hitting things. I am also reminded of 1 Peter 5:7 “Cast all your care upon Him, for He careth for you.” These verses tell me that I am not alone. It helps to know that my God is there, no matter what, to listen and care for me. I talk to Him, sometimes I even yell at Him, but no matter what, He is the one friend that never leaves and He never stops listening. He is there for you too. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Talk to Him. You might be surprised at how much it helps. As always, if you need help getting connected with a church, or have questions for me, email me at armstrongk2323@gmail.com. Have a blessed day,

SUNDAY BEST Praying is hard – much harder than it looks. When we aren’t busy with our hectic schedules, there is the constant temptation to ‘veg out’ in front of a screen. This makes praying hard, but the kind of praying described in 1 Timothy 2:1-2 is especially difficult. “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made…for kings and all who are in high positions that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life…” God wants you not only to pray but to pray for your political leaders. Pray for the President and the Police Chief, your Congressman and your City Councilman. Pray even for the ones with whom you disagree. I told you it was hard. It gets easier, though, when you discover why God wants us to pray this way. 1. Praying for your leaders is good for you. 1 Timothy 2:2 says we pray for our leaders “that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life.” Praying for your leaders helps your community. I frequently hear people complaining about circumstances in our nation or city. How might things be different if we earnestly prayed for our leaders?
2. Praying for your leaders pleases God. 1 Timothy 2:3 says, “This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior.” God is pleased when His people pray for their leaders because it reveals our desire for His kingdom to come and not just our political agendas to prevail. 3. Praying for your leaders spreads the Gospel. 1 Timothy 2:4-5 says that God “desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” This is the ultimate reason Christians should pray for their leaders. We want a peaceful community because we want our neighbors to meet the Prince of Peace. Earthly leaders disappoint us. Their failures make us cry out for ‘better’ leadership. That yearning for a candidate who will be above corruption is really a yearning for Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Leader of leaders. So pray for your leaders today, remembering that the One hearing your prayer is the ultimate leader. Josh Culbertson Pastor, Holly Ridge Baptist Church

Please don’t toss this paper in the trash! Did you know there are multiple uses for newspaper once you are finished reading it? There is another month before school starts back up, but the kids are really bored. Why not find some time to sit down with them and try your hand at arts and crafts made with newsprint? There are countless ideas to be found on websites such as Pintrest, Squidoo, Buzzfeed, etc., and most are fairly easy and inexpensive. You never know…you or your child may discover a hidden talent you never knew existed! Contributed by Christy Staton of Simpsonville
