Taylors First Baptist
Church is opening up
more space around the
welcome center to make
the entrance more visible
for visitors and attendees.
The project, which has
now been under construction for a couple of weeks,
is mostly a face-lift,
said Phil Crain, building/
grounds manager at the
church.
Good City Architects,
an architecture and interior design firm based in
Greenville, has completed
the design of renovations.
The biggest change is
going to be providing a
covered drop off area to
keep those who attend
services out of the rain on
wet days, Crain said, and
the colonnades are going

Buying a car
SLICES OF LIFE
BY JILL PERTLER
Her second car was a little red convertible. We bought it when she wasnt yet
old enough for kindergarten. She saved
most of the money for it herself - from
birthdays and other gifts. Pretty good
for a preschooler. This second gem had
an operational foot pedal and was battery-powered a pretty gutsy parental
move on our part.
She learned to press the pedal to
make the car go. It even had a reverse
option and it was amazing how quickly
she became proficient at backing up
and maneuvering in tight spaces. As her
parents, we were impressed (of course
we were). She delighted in giving her
little brother rides up and down the
driveway, enjoying an independence not
yet experienced.
Her third car was cute as a bug and
her favorite color yellow. It required
a valid drivers license, registration
and gasoline. Footpower was no longer
enough. She was 16, or in the words of

Q: In 15 months Ill

about 1.5 percent of
the company. I make
$100,000 annually, and it
will cost me three times
my income, but it could
increase my income by as
much as $40,000 a year.
I know that you discourage single-stock investing,
but do you think this is a
good idea?
DR: This sounds more
akin to a partnership than
a stock. Basically, youd
be a minority shareholder in the business.
That means zero power.
Whatever money you put
up could be lost, because
the people running this
business could decide to
close up shop and youd
be powerless to stop it.
To me, this is way too
scary. Youd be making a
$300,000 investment that
has no liquidity and that
you cant sell on the open
market. Id want to see at
least 30-percent return on
my capital in a situation
like this, so I wouldnt
risk my money.
Keep your good job,

Ride-along
To the editor,
As a citizen of Greer
and a military veteran, I
want to share an experience my wife and I had
with the City of Greer
Police Department.
By chance, I became
acquainted with Cpl. Scott
Broome, who encouraged me to check into
the Greer Citizens Police
Academy. My Wife and I
took the 10-week course,
graduated and became
alumni members. Part of
the course was a required
ride-along with an officer
on his shift. It was my fortune to go with Sgt. Chris
Ahler that night, and I
witnessed him involved in
a foot chase.
He caught the suspect,
and in a very professional
manner, subdued him and
read him his rights.

Israel said The Hiring

Suarez scores
breakthrough
victory
By Reid Spencer
NASCAR Wire
Joey Logano took the checkered flag at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday, leading 139 of 200 laps.
Daniel
Suarez
was
speechlessand
justifiably so.
The Mexican driver had
just passed Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Kyle Busch
for the lead on the next-tolast lap and held on to win
Saturdays Menards 250
presented by Valvoline
NASCAR XFINITY Series
race at Michigan International Speedway by .280
seconds over the man who
sets the standard in the
series.
The first Mexican-born
driver to win a NASCAR
national series race, Suarez overcame a pit road
speeding penalty assessed
on Lap 29 of 125 under the
first of three cautions. He
restarted eighth after the
third caution on Lap 91,
caught and passed Elliott
Sadler for second place
with 10 laps left and ran
down Busch for the lead
on Lap 124.
I just have no words,
said Suarez, an alumnus
of NASCARs Drive for Diversity and NASCAR Next
programs. I dont think I
can speak English or Spanish right now. I have no
words for what Im feeling
right now.
This machine is unbelievable. Its unbelievably
fastdefinitely the fastest car out there. I have
no words to describe what
Im feeling right now. Its
just unbelievable.
Though Suarez was reveling in the moment, he
made special mention of
JGR teammate and fourthplace finisher Erik Jones,
whose father passed away
at age 53 on Tuesday after
a brief battle with cancer.
Eriks No. 20 Toyota carried the name of his father,
Dave Jones, painted above
the window of his car.
I would like to dedicate
this victory to Erik and his
family, Suarez said.
Behind
Suarez
and
Busch, Paul Menard finished third, followed by
Jones and Sadler.
In passing Busch for the
win, Suarez beat the best.
Busch holds the XFINITY
Series record for victories
I have no words

Im feeling right

LOFTY RENOVATIONS
Pair bringing new life to historic Apalache Mill
BY JULIE HOLCOMBE
STAFF WRITER
In 1946, Apalache Mill was
a bustle of activity, with 380
workers producing fancy cotton fabrics on 419 looms and
27,516 spindles.
Mill hill life thrived with
143 houses, a school, two
churches, a company store,
YMCA, a ballpark, a racetrack
and a post office.
Since
CDS
Ensembles
moved its operations to
Greer Mill in 2007, the building has been silenced, but
that will soon change as a
local developer resumes construction of Lofts by the Lake
at Apalache Mill.
Longtime developers of
historic properties, Dale and
Jackie Goodrich, purchased
the location soon after operations ceased with the intent
to create urban-style condominiums.
After 2008the housing
crasheverything was just
flat so we just put it on hold
and started trying to market
it, Dale said.
During that time, Dale began the painstaking process
of researching the heritage
of the 128-year-old mill, 117acre pond and the community surrounding it in an effort
to have the site declared on
the National Historic Register. When the task proved
difficult due to the buildings
many additions and alterations, the developer decided
to incorporate the dam and
lake for consideration as an
historic district.
After hiring numerous
consultants without success,
Dale decided to submit the
49-page application detailing
Apalache Mills architecture,
plant operations, important
people and culture himself.

DEAR DR. ROACH: In
1978, I was diagnosed
with a benign brain tumor.
It was on the pituitary
gland and pushing on the
optic nerve. I had surgery,
but only half was removed
because of the optic nerve.
The other half was shrunk
with chemo and radiation.
I am concerned about the
long-term effects of radiation, because I had a
stroke in 2012 and the
doctors said this stroke
might have been a link to
long-term effects of radiation. But 36 years later?
Can you confirm or deny
that the long-term effects
of radiation cause stroke?
ANSWER: I cant tell you
whether your stroke was
caused by the radiation
you received; however, I
can confirm that high-dose
radiation (from radiation
therapy for your tumor,
not from a diagnostic CT
scan) increases the overall
risk of transient ischemic
attack and stroke. A welldone study from Australia

Artist Vivianne Carey will perform Cinderella-The Sequel June 18 at Chapman Cultural
Center.
the dark and morbid carriage, which is currently
parked in Chapman Cultural Centers plaza, will
circle the block that the
venue sits on. At the entrance, the Cinderella character will emerge dressed
in black rags, the spoiled
remnants of the once
beautiful gown that Cinderellas fairy godmother
had magically made for
her. The aged Cinderella
will make her way into
Chapmans theater lobby
for a public reception.
Once inside the lobby,
there might be a bit of
magic, Carey said.
This is the sequel, an
inversion of the classic
Cinderella story of a womans life from childhood
to death, Carey said. It
is a multidisciplinary exhibition and performance,
which incorporates sculpture, music, drama and
dance. It is largely autobiographical and presents
a narrative. It is about secrets. It is a love story. It
is a rage story. It is a story
of hopes and dreams. It is
my story.
Originally conceived and
performed at Winthrop
University in the spring of
2016 as Careys masters
degree thesis project, this
performance piece addresses the transformation
of a middle-aged woman. It
is a tale of brokenness and
restoration, of transgression and virtue. It reflects
the darker aspects of life,
the grief and sorrows, but
with a regenerative stance.
By means of aged, broken,
found materials woven
and wired together, and a
dark neutral color palette
with hints of transparent
color, I wrestle with the
dichotomy between darkness and light, melancholy
and joy, and grace and disgrace, she said.
The carriage will be
stationed at Chapman
through June 31. In addition, Carey will give an
ArtTalk at Chapman during Junes ArtWalk on
Thursday, June 16, 7 p.m.
