2024-04-14: The Winterville Mounds (Settlement)

Originally built hundreds of years before the white man came, the Winterville Mounds are an array of at least 23 earthen mounds constructed by Mississippian Indians. Most of the mounds have since been destroyed by a combination of agriculture and erosion, though a few still remain. It's currently privately owned by a white man who uses it as pasture land, though the women of the Greenville Garden Club are hoping to raise enough money to eventually buy back the land and turn it into a history preserve.

Until the money (and land) changes hands, though, trespassers will be shot.

Points of Interest

Temple Mound (Mound A)

At 55 feet tall, this is the largest mound on the site. It once held a temple where the sacred flame burned. It's rumored to have a secret treasure chamber buried deep within the mound (though this is false). However, returning the stone pipe stolen during the Blackburn excavation and relighting the sacred flame on top of the mound might bring about a blessing from the sun.

Charnel House (Mound B)

The second-tallest mound at 30 feet high is where the dead were stripped of their flesh and the cleaned bones were placed in baskets before being buried. Some say the mound whispers to people asking for the return of its stolen dead, but maybe any old body would do...

Honored Residence (Mound C)

Unlike the sharp angular sides of the previous mounds, this small mound is oval-shaped and slumped from erosion. It was once the site of a residence for one of the Honored or Noble castes, and it is the place that is most likely to yield artifacts like pottery shards that can be sold to collectors. Unfortunately for sneaky treasure-seekers, it's also the closest to the landowner's house and directly visible from most of the house's windows.

Landowner's House

Rebuilt after the flood in 1927, this home is small by landowner standards. It's occupied Gordon Roker, the curmudgeonly and territorial owner of the pasture land upon which the mounds are built. He tends to shoot first and ask questions later (or omit the questions entirely).

Cultural Background (Pre Contact)

In years past, this place had few permanent residents. Most of the people actually lived in dispersed communities in the surrounding areas. They hunted and fished and cultivated the Three Sisters (maize, beans, and squash) in the fertile soil.

Archaeological records indicate that the inhabitants of the Winterville Mounds possessed a culture similar to that of the Natchez people. There are indications of a complex political and social structure, as well as a religion that venerated the sun. The temple atop the largest mound held a nearly perpetual flame to honor the sun. The fire was extinguished for only one day each year for Busk, also known as the Ceremony of Green Corn, which happened near midsummer. A new fire was built, and all the hearths were lit from this new flame.

People were divided into castes, which were (from most to least prestigious): Suns, Nobles, Honored, and Commoners. Suns were required to marry Commoners, and the children of female suns and commoners were Suns, while the children of male suns and commoners belonged to the Honored caste.

Recent History

In 1869, a riverboat captain named George T. Blackburn decided to hunt for Indian treasure and excavated several of the mounds. He looted a stone pipe, a bunch of pottery, along with human remains. Decades later in 1907, there was another major excavation effort by Clarence B. Moore. Though he fancied himself an archaeologist (and was legitimately interested in understanding the culture instead of just looting artifacts), his methods of excavation and study would horrify proper archaeologists and preservationists. Unfortunately for Moore, Blackburn had pilfered most of the significant artifacts and the site was largely left alone because is was seen as empty of artifacts.

Agriculture encroached on the mounds, destroying many of the smaller ones to make way for more cropland. Naturally, cotton was a major crop for the area. However, when the levee burst in 1927 and flooded the southern half of the Delta, it deposited so much sand in the soil near Winterville that the land was no longer viable for commercial agriculture and had to be swapped to pasture land instead.

Prologue [B.B / S.R.] 40s

Series:  Portraits of our last summer 

Pairing: Bucky Barnes / Steve Rogers x Fem!Reader

Summary: It was the summer of 1942 when your life changed forever. Before you left for college, you wanted to enjoy your last summer of freedom. The United States had entered the war in December 1941, no one knew what was going to happen, so everyone wanted to enjoy any moment of peace.

Warnings: None.

Word Count: 2034

A/N:  Inspired by the novels of Nicholas Sparks. Sorry for my spelling and grammatical mistakes, English is not my native language, I am learning.

When was the moment when you stopped looking at life with those eyes of innocence and became a woman? During the summer of 1942 many events took place in your life, creating a before and after in your free spirit, but it was not until much later, when you read those words in that letter that you realised that you had changed and were never going to meet again that laughing young girl who saw the world bathed in colour.

But to understand your story, the story of Emily Lawton, you have to understand the way your childhood years were. You were born on October 16, 1924 into a wealthy family in the town of Greenville, your father, Mr. Lawton, owned one of the largest tobacco companies in the region, and was extremely popular with the crowds, regardless of their social status, as his business generated a great demand for employment, which was a welcome development in these times. On the other hand, your mother was more socially aware, she liked decorating and was a much-loved member of the Greenville ladies’ club, which used to do a lot of charity work for the underprivileged. However, all this didn’t capture your attention at all, perhaps because you had grown up in both circles, and therefore your curiosity was lessened.

Your parents had taken it upon themselves to provide you with the best education possible, and thus had faith that you would be able to enter one of the best universities in the county and possibly the country at the age of 18, a fact that on the one hand pleased you, because it would mean leaving their side and starting to see the world through your own eyes, but at the same time irritated you, because your mother still intended to plan your whole life. For you, life was not meant to be planned, things came at the right time, without waiting for them, but it was clear that such an imaginative vision did not belong to a woman, as your mother used to remind you, but to a girl, something you would learn in time.

You used to spend long evenings attending social events hand in hand with your parents, which at times could seem a bit presumptuous, especially when in 1939 the war began on the European continent, but you could hardly notice it because of the bubble in which that society lived, but as the years went by and the attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, the lives of all Americans were cut short, on several levels. Your 17-year-old mind still held the innocence and naivety, which you tried to hide with your chatter, your mischievous smiles and your laughter, but all you did was to show it even more. A young man, a William Craig, from a family of bankers, asked for your hand in marriage in the spring of ‘42, just before he was due to join the army and leave for the Primary Training Centre where he was to be trained as a private, but although it almost broke your heart to refuse him, for your future plans were far removed from any romance, you did.

It’s not that you weren’t romantic, nor had you flirted with the occasional young man - on the contrary, you loved it, you used to - but you had love so idealised that the distance between flirting and loving someone were complete opposites. Although that used to confuse young people, because your candid facade attracted them to the point of believing that you were madly in love with them and that you wanted to marry them, a confusion that became more extreme when you quickly lost interest in them.

Now, let’s talk about that summer of 1942. There was a moment in your life when you thought you were the luckiest person in the universe. You held the window down on that Willys Americar Sedan, sticking your face out of it, causing the summer wind to blow subtly against your eyelids and the curly locks of your brown hair to flutter freely. Your eyes watched as the setting sun broke through the treetops, letting in the last rays of sunlight of that first Sunday in June. The drive was shared with several flocks of sparrows that began their flight as the car’s engine invaded their quiet, while on the horizon, the Kiawah River showed its presence, informing you how close the end of the drive was.

You found that you enjoyed breathing in the peace of Wadmalaw Island, quite contrary to the effusiveness of Greenville, where you and your parents used to reside for the rest of the year. The last time you set foot on that land you were only 13 years old and your youth was just beginning to blossom, but now you had returned at the age of 17. Before leaving a residence you had thought about how you wanted that summer to be, your last summer before going to university, your imagination had recreated numerous scenes and events that could happen, but what was clear to you was that you wanted to enjoy it, the world was going down the drain and before yours went too you needed to live it.

You barely remembered how comforting it was to look out over the landscape, for it had been five years since your family, the Lawtons, had summered on the coast. In the old days it was traditional for you to set out for the southeastern part of South Carolina in June, arriving in the vicinity of the small town of Rockville, established in 1784 and only a few miles from Charleston. Its scenery was magnificent, you used to describe it as “a canvas of the natural landscape of Southern life”, which you would contemplate for the rest of your life.

But owing to the outbreak of the war and some setbacks in your father’s business, your presence was required during all the summers, yet things turned out most favourably, as your father used to report at dinner parties, for tobacco, it seemed, was the greatest leisure that soldiers could be offered at the front. Unlike your father, or your father, you had no interest in the family business, you thought it was devoid of art and colour, too banal for your taste, in short, dull, and you used to shy away from anything dull, you used to keep looking at life from a romantic perspective, still with a girl’s eyes, even if you thought you were a woman.

The journey took shape, the green landscapes gave way to a set of paved streets and an unusual urban movement, a few meters ago a sign provided at the side of the road had informed you of the beginning of the town of Rockville, but you hardly remembered that this town of a little more than a hundred inhabitants had so much movement.

“Why,” you said, peering curiously through the window, “you didn’t know that Rockville was now the new Charleston.”

“Looks like it,” whispered your mother, looking out her window. “Oh, I think it’s the county fair.”

“Looks like everyone’s having a good time,” you commented, resting your chin on your hands as you watched small groups of young people laughing. “Connie’s probably around here somewhere, if the Dawsons are here yet.”

“I spoke to Mr Dawson just yesterday,” your father looked at you through the rear-view mirror.

“Well?” you were genuinely interested in his answer.

“They arrived Saturday night,” he reported, “apparently his wife wanted to visit Charleston and so they moved up the trip.”

You nodded, Connie was one of your childhood friends, back in the day the Dawsons bought a property near yours in Rockville to enjoy summers together, unlike you, the Dawson family hadn’t missed a single summer. Connie was an incentive to enjoy those three months, she knew how to have fun, she offered that rebellious imaginative edge that you both shared within your allowed limits, so you looked forward to meeting her again to begin your new adventures.

You continued looking through your rolled down window, leaning your head on your arms that were supported by the car door, on the left side there was a sort of enclosure lined with wooden fences, in which numerous booths offered the best pastimes for those people who were there to forget everything that was happening around them. Your gaze was distracted, analysing the fairground, watching how people entered and left with ice creams and sweets in their hands, perhaps you expected to spot someone you knew, but it was not like that, evidently you did not know anyone there, however blue eyes rested on your face. A young man, of an age correlative to yours, was watching you leaning on one of the wooden fences, the car had stopped at a pedestrian crossing and the boy was delighting in the view he had of you.

On several occasions you had been the centre of attention at the social events you used to attend in Greenville, many boys had laid their eyes on you, but never in such a daring way as that young man was doing. If it had happened any other way you would have offered him a smile, and if you had liked the young man you would have moved with the wind to find out in the most subtle way who he was, but when you saw that he was being so brazen you turned your face away and rolled up the window.

The drive continued and the town of Rockville was left behind to take you back into the beauty of the countryside. White picket fences opened the way to a wide road backed by magnificent oak trees on either side. At the end of it was Lawton Plantation waiting to welcome its owners. The surroundings had not changed at all, but a sense of longing came over you. You were about to venture into your last summer before your departure for university and you felt that things were about to take a new turn. However, as you gazed at the porch surrounding the colonial-style house in the distance, your thoughts returned to their usual bliss. The house had known its heyday during the 19th century, being one of the highest-yielding cotton plantations in South Carolina. It had been built in 1790, sitting on over four thousand acres of riverfront land, but over the years its history had been left to memories, especially yours, for you wondered if the previous owners of the house had also marvelled at its surroundings.

The instant the car stopped, the back door opened, letting your excitement run free. It took you barely a minute to reach the inside of the property, offering a quick greeting to Mr. and Mrs. Fulton, the keepers of the house in your absence, and discovering that your belongings were still in place, surrounded by that peculiar scent of wood. You used to have two favourite places in that house. The first was a small room dedicated to painting, located on the main floor and which had a private exit to the porch through a glass door. That corner was equipped with all the necessary material to be able to escape from your thoughts and express every feeling and emotion inside. It was your father, with whom in some respects you shared similar tastes, who, on discovering at the age of 11 your interest in art, decided to encourage your fascination by creating that room for you. On the other hand, the second favourite place was the stables, or horse stables, which were the gateway to a new universe for you, which would allow you to enjoy those places hand in hand with your beloved Savannah, your mare, who had arrived a week before you.

That first day was not much more than rediscovering every corner of that property, rediscovering your old self from five years ago, reminiscing about remote times and preparing yourself for what was to come and what you would begin to experience the next day.

If You Are Vaccinated, You Can Dance the Night Away

Marissa Castrigno was walking through downtown Wilmington, North Carolina, when she spotted the sign in the window of one of her favorite dance clubs. After months of being shuttered by the pandemic, Ibiza Nightclub was reopening April 30, it announced.

This story also ran on Raleigh News & Observer. It can be republished for free.

Thrilled, Castrigno immediately made plans with friends to be there.

About 50 miles north in Jacksonville, Kennedy Swift learned of Ibiza’s reopening on social media. He, too, decided to attend with friends.

But on the night of April 30, the two groups were in for a surprise — one they would react to in starkly different ways.

In addition to IDs, they learned, they’d need to show covid-19 vaccination cards for entry. The club was letting in only people who had had at least one shot.

“I was shocked,” said Swift, 21. He learned of the policy a few hours before the reopening, when the club posted it on its Facebook page.

He and his friends had to cancel their plans, since none of them was vaccinated.

“I’m not against [Ibiza] exercising their rights as a business,” Swift said. “I just think it’s foolish. … This will discourage a lot of former patrons from returning to the club.”

On the other hand, Castrigno and her friends, most of whom had been fully vaccinated since early April, felt the policy made their return to nightlife even better.

“There was raw excitement about going out to a place and feeling safe,” said Castrigno, 28.

Similar conversations are playing out across the country as vaccination rates increase and bars, clubs and other businesses navigate how to reopen. The concept of vaccine passports — which allow people who have been inoculated against covid and are at lower risk of contracting or spreading the disease to participate in certain activities — has been floated for clubs, cruise ships and other spaces where large groups gather in close quarters. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recent announcement that vaccinated people can safely gather indoors and outdoors without masks has reignited the idea. Yet these passports remain highly controversial and their implementation is largely piecemeal. Many private businesses are making their own decisions, and governments in different parts of the country are adopting varying stances.

In New York, for instance, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced in early May that places where proof of vaccination or a negative covid test are required can operate at a greater capacity. Some nightclubs there have implemented policies similar to Ibiza’s. In Florida, however, Gov. Ron DeSantis recently signed a law prohibiting businesses, schools and government offices from requiring proof of vaccination, with fines of up to $5,000 per incident.

For Ibiza Nightclub in southeastern North Carolina — a political battleground state — the vaccine card requirement is proving to be a lightning rod. The club’s Facebook post announcing the policy had sparked 70 comments as of mid-May, and posts across other platforms echoed different sides of the issue.

“I am thrilled to see a personal business putting the health and safety forward in order to keep their business running,” one comment read.

Others took a markedly different tone: “This is pretty dumb!”

“Discrimination, expect lawsuits,” read another.

The Honor Code

Last week, after the CDC said vaccinated adults could largely live their lives mask-free, Raleigh restaurant owner Hisine McNeill felt a troubling pang of déjà vu. He owns Alpha Dawgs, a sandwich shop in southeast Raleigh, and said small businesses like his carried the burden of mask enforcement for much of the pandemic. Now, he said, they’re tasked with trusting adults who say they’ve been vaccinated. He isn’t ready to do that.

“I don’t have the luxury of taking chances on an honor code,” McNeill said. “If I have an outbreak because someone didn’t wear a mask and have to close down, who’s going to help keep me open?”

McNeill opened Alpha Dawgs in 2018 and, like most restaurateurs, he said, struggled through the pandemic, professionally and personally. He said he has lost friends and family members and doesn’t believe the pandemic is over.

“I know people personally in the ICU still recovering from [covid],” McNeill said. “I don’t need any more examples about how serious this is.”

So McNeill posted a new requirement on the restaurant’s Facebook page. He asked everyone to continue wearing masks unless they were prepared to show him a vaccine card.

“To whom it may concern,” McNeill wrote. “If you decide to come into my establishment claiming that you are fully vaccinated, I WILL ASK TO SEE YOUR CARD. If you don’t want to provide it then you will have to wear a mask in my store. And if you still don’t want to comply with either then I have the right to deny service. Thank you for your cooperation.”

The day after he posted that statement, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper eased most covid-related restrictions in the state, including its mask mandate. The Alpha Dawgs post stirred some online debate over masks and vaccinations and led to a few responses, including one from the Raleigh Republican Club.

“Should you be in the area…,” it read. “Eat somewhere else….”

McNeill felt the Raleigh Republican Club was calling for a boycott. Afterward, he noticed multiple one-star reviews pop up on Google, not from people who had been to the restaurant, but people accusing McNeill of discrimination.

“This is not political for me, this is a personal belief,” McNeill said. “I have an 85-year-old grandmother I see every other week. I’m going to make sure she’s protected.”

Raleigh Republican Club board member Guy Smith said the group’s post was written collectively, but he didn’t see it as a call for a boycott.

“Our philosophical position is it’s his business, the owner can choose to do what they choose to do within the confines of the individual business,” Smith said. “Our philosophical position is, to demand someone to demonstrate they’re vaccinated with a card, we think that’s out of bounds.”

Smith said the group also condemns writing bogus reviews of a business.

McNeill said Alpha Dawgs’ business has not suffered from the online dust-up.

“I haven’t had any problems,” McNeill said. “Only the online harassment.”

The Nightclub Expected Opposition

Charles Smith, general manager of the club, said he knew the policy would garner backlash, but “we’ve always put the health and safety of both staff and our patrons, and their families, first.”

Since opening as a gay bar in 2001, Ibiza has been a pillar of the LGBTQ community in Wilmington. Although its clientele has expanded over time, it’s still known for drag shows on Friday nights.

Last year, the club shut down March 12, about a week before Gov. Cooper ordered all North Carolina bars and restaurants to stop dine-in service. Ibiza remained shuttered for 14 months, using the time to renovate, Smith said, and leaning on federal and state assistance for small businesses.

When it came to reopening, he said, “the question was: How do we provide the absolute safest experience alongside the nightlife experience we’ve been known for?”

It wouldn’t be easy. Nightclubs are a perfect cocktail of covid risks: lots of people socializing and dancing in close quarters. Alcohol lowering inhibitions. Music forcing people to speak louder, releasing more droplets into the air.

“The concept of social distancing in a nightclub is an oxymoron,” Smith said. And the club’s staff didn’t want to be “the police of nightlife,” trying to separate people on the dance floor, he added.

The safest option, it seemed, was to require people to be vaccinated.

The club waited till all adults in the state were eligible for vaccines before reopening. 

Now Ibiza requires patrons to present their vaccine cards or photos of the cards for entry. On reopening night, the club asked customers to wear masks and limited its capacity to 50%, per an executive order from the governor. But as of May 14, the state lifted its capacity restrictions and masking requirements.

Castrigno, who’d been looking forward to that night for weeks since she saw the sign in the club’s window, said it was “the most jubilant I’d ever seen Ibiza.” Several performers put on a drag show. Customers took turns dancing on poles. Some people wore masks with rhinestones to match their outfits, she said.

She wasn’t surprised that many people took the vaccine requirement in stride. “Queer people are well versed in the risks of public health crisis and protecting the community,” she said, referring to the AIDS crisis, which devastated the community in the ’80s and ’90s.

For James Colucci, who has been a customer since 2016, supporting Ibiza’s vaccine policy is about protecting the club’s employees. Some of them have “spearheaded the [LGBTQ] movement, so we can get together and have events like this,” he said.

But others say the policy is discriminatory and injects the nightclub into people’s personal health care decisions.

Joey Askew, a 37-year-old from Greenville, wrote on Ibiza’s Facebook page, “I’ll never go back to this club until they lift this mandate!!”

In an interview with KHN, Askew said he’s not ready to get the vaccine because there haven’t been lifetime studies of recipients to determine long-term side effects. He’s willing to wear a mask and maintain physical distance, but a vaccine requirement goes too far.

“A mask is something I can buy from anywhere and take off whenever I choose,” he said. “But I can’t take a vaccine out. It’s a permanent choice that [the club] is involving themselves in, and it’s not their place.”

In between the people condemning the club’s policy and those applauding it are many who are conflicted.

Mark Russell, 29, is a nurse in Washington, D.C., who cares for covid patients and contracted covid last year. He plans on visiting Ibiza Nightclub in late May while attending a small wedding in North Carolina where everyone will be vaccinated.

The club’s policy makes him feel safer, Russell said. But he also worries about its effect on people of color, who in many places have faced barriers to vaccination.

“It’s a battle in my own brain, thinking those two things,” Russell said.

For Heidi Martek, 55, the policy raised a personal question. “What about those who can’t get the vaccine?” she wrote on Ibiza’s Facebook page.

She has an autoimmune disease, making her body hypersensitive to any vaccine, Martek said, even the flu shot.

But when commenters on Facebook suggested she sue the club, Martek pushed back. The club is facing difficult choices, she told KHN, and there’s no right answer.

“Whether I can go in or not, I support them,” said Martek, who’s been a patron at Ibiza for six years.

She wants the club to survive the pandemic, unlike other establishments that have closed in the past year.

“It’s not like Wilmington is overwhelmed with LGBTQ clubs,” Martek said. “Ibiza is really important.”

West Lebanon, NH - Beverlee Hastings Merrill, age 90, widow of the late Joseph H. Merrill, Jr., passed away on Sunday, November 27, 2022, at the home of her daughter, Nancy Peavey, in Enfield, NH.

Born at home on November 21, 1932, in Corinth, VT, to George and Bernice (Huntley) Hastings, she attended the small village Cookeville School, graduated from the Bradford Academy, Class of 1950, and attended Bob Jones University, Greenville, SC.

She moved to Hanover, NH, in 1952 to work at Dartmouth College Library. She married Joseph Merrill of Hanover at the United Church of Christ at Dartmouth College on September 15, 1956. He pre-deceased her on July 22, 1998. Married for almost 42 years, they spent most of their married life in the Hanover/Lebanon area as Joe pursued his career in Printing Management and they had their four children – Lisa, Lori, Nancy and Jonathan. Joe grew with Dartmouth Printing Co. In 1988, after 31 years with Dartmouth Printing, they moved out of town for the next eight years – first to Stratham on the NH seacoast for a position with Bradford & Bigelow in Danvers, MA, and then to The Printing House/Homes & Land magazine in Tallahassee, FL. They returned "home" to Lebanon in 1996 to be near their large, extended families.

Employed in the health care field for many years, Beverlee become a unit secretary at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center for 11 years (1977-1988). When moving to the NH Seacoast, she found fulfillment as a one-to-one companion with Interim and the Portsmouth Regional Private Duty Association in Hampton Beach, Rye Beach, Exeter, Portsmouth and Kittery Point, ME (1989-1991) and then in Tallahassee FL (1991-1996). She was deeply committed to the elderly, especially those with acquired memory-loss disorders. To make their days and moments special, she became a compassionate activity assistant/educator at the Leon County Adult Day Care Center in Tallahassee for three years, and upon returning to the Upper Valley, at Genesis Health Care/Lebanon Center for the next six years (1996-2002). For years after her retirement from Genesis, her former co-workers and residents' families told her they remembered her as "that Hat Lady" in her many vintage, decorative crazy hats.

She was a Hospice volunteer for 23 years, beginning in the early years of the Hospice movement in the Upper Valley. She went on to connect with Seacoast Hospice in the Exeter-Portsmouth area and Big Bend in Tallahassee before returning to be a volunteer again in the Upper Valley after her retirement.

Retirement to Beverlee was "simply shifting gears" with time to read all night, take long naps, do some traveling with friends and family – and time to delve more deeply into family genealogy and local history. She drove about to Town Clerk's offices seeking out documents of her ancestors' births, deaths and marriages, making copies, gathering them, with their stories, into notebooks as a legacy for her children and future descendants. With the help of her nephew Kevin Hurst, she produced a book – Bev's Memories. She gave copies of the book to her children, her siblings and cousins.

She got her wish to do some traveling with family and friends, visiting Scotland, Nova Scotia, Arizona, Colorado, California, the Smoky Mountains and multiple trips to Florida to visit her sisters and old Tallahassee friends. She flew to Minnesota to finally meet a pen pal she had connected with while both were in grade school.

Moving to the Quail Hollow senior living community in 2007, she remained active locally in the Lebanon Woman's Club and the Rusty Reds and Scarlett O'Hatters of Quail Hollow's Red Hat chapters. Gradually slowed down by a weak back and poor balance, her passion for social interaction and involvement never wavered. She took great pride in being the overseer of the Quail Hollow Bi-Annual Give Away-Take Away Weekends, the Kilton-Quail Hollow Lending Library project and Quail's rotating art galleries.

She is survived by her loving family – her four children, Lisa (Dean) Rowe of Shrewsbury, MA, Lori Kay of White River Junction, VT, Nancy (Jeff) Peavey of Enfield, NH, and Jonathan (Sue) Merrill of West Lebanon, NH; her ten grandchildren, Allison (Jim) Ladio, Stephanie (Tyler) Frost, David Rowe, Andrew Kay, Leslie Kay, Benjamin Peavey, Joshua (Megan) Peavey, Nathan Peavey, Jessica (Brendan) Demich, Lindsey Merrill; and six great-grandchildren, Rowen and Salem Ladio, Ava and Wesley Peavey, Zoe Frost and Cecilia Demich.

She is also survived by her sister Peg Wilmott of Naples, FL, and brother David (Sue) Hastings of North Haverhill, NH; and multiple sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law. She will be remembered by 30 nieces and nephews and their families, and many cousins.

In addition to her loving husband, Joseph Merrill, she was pre-deceased by her sisters Joyce Chapman and Bernice (Bunny) Hurst, her brother George (Bert) Hastings, as well as multiple sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law.

Her remains have been cremated and will be scattered by her family at locations that were especially meaningful to Beverlee. She wished that there be no calling hours or services.

Uptown Art of Greenville - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (and I don’t mean my painting)...

First let me start by saying that this review is strictly for the Greenville Uptown Art location and not any of the others in the surrounding area - I have only ever been to the Greenville location. Now that we have cleared that up let’s get down to business. For those of you unfamiliar with Uptown Art it is essentially an art class that allows you to come alone or with a group of friends and bring snacks and wine or other beverage of your choice. This is a very popular option for a “Girls Night Out” for ladies like myself who are of a certain age and have long since passed the “clubbing” phase. The class participants are seated at tables with all the needed supplies and a teacher instructs the class in whichever painting is being completed that night. At the beginning of every month Uptown Art posts the schedule of classes/paintings on their website, you simply go online select the painting you want to paint and register for that class or you can not schedule and just show up...however, if you go that route the class may be full and you may be out of luck or you may also run into the issue of not enough people coming and the class could be canceled...so it is best to at least call ahead and make sure the class is not full/canceled.

I have been to Uptown Art several times some paintings I really loved and some live in my attic and I gaze at them lovingly as I retrieve and put away my Christmas decorations every year. This is more due to my artistic prowess (or lack thereof) than a reflection of the establishment. However, I can say that the overall experience of Uptown Art has changed over the course of the last few years. My first few experiences were fantastic. The atmosphere was relaxed and easy going and the room was spacious and the instructor held my attention and I felt as though I actually learned something. The last 3 times that I have gone to a class I have been with a group of 3 and we all 3 registered online. The classes were on week nights and were absolutely packed. The staff had literally stuffed so many people at the tables that there was not room to move freely to paint or shift in your chair. The last time we visited the room was so packed that I could not move my chair back to get up because the person behind me had their chair crammed into the only available space and it was jammed behind mine - she couldn’t help it - that was the only way she could position her chair due to the large number of people at the table.  To say the least the class was over capacity which dampened the overall enjoyment of the artistic experience.

Another issue was the noise level. 2 out of the last 3 times there have been multiple classes going on and the noise level was incredible and very distracting and made it difficult to hear the instructor. The last time we visited (less than a month ago) there was actually another class going on in the same room as well as a class going on in the private room and it was incredibly confusing and distracting. Our painting was being taught in the room where there were dual classes being taught - 2 separate paintings with 2 separate instructors giving different sets of directions. Add on top of that the participants of that class using the hair dryers while our instructor was talking and I am sure you can imagine how hard it was to hear. There simply was too much going on in the small studio. At any given time the classes should be limited to 2 going on at once because there are only 2 separate rooms. All of this chaos caused our class to go over by an hour. Since this was a week night and we all had to adult the next day we had specifically chosen the shorter class which was to run from 7-9PM rather than the longer class which was set to run from 7-10PM. 9 PM came and went and the instructor who had been less than helpful or engaging the entire evening was in no rush to wrap things up and by the time we finished I was more than ready to go as I had been checking my watch for over an hour at that point. A good instructor can make or break the class and trust me this class was already broken - the dilly dallying of the instructor was just the glitter on an already less than fabulous DIY project.

Now that we have covered the good and the bad let’s talk about the ugly. Having had experienced the good classes and having a knowledge of how Uptown Art used to be and wondering if maybe we were hitting the classes at the wrong time one of the members of my party reached out via e-mail to Uptown Art just to inform and request info - not accuse, not to request a refund, and not to cause and problems. The email response which she received in response from the manager was incredibly defensive and downright insulting. To say that the old adage “the customer is always right” was not in this persons mindset that day would be an understatement. Wondering if maybe we just caught the manager on a bad day or if this was the norm I decided to do some research. I checked the internet of course! I checked Yelp and FaceBook and a few other sites and found the same on them all - the older reviews are great but many of the most recent reviews were poor - especially on their FaceBook page. Also, there were several reviews that said they had also attempted to reach out to Uptown Art and were treated in a similar fashion as I have previously described.

The cost for each painting ranges from $25-$35 - when you are paying that much for a 2-3 hour craft session it is not unreasonable to expect to be comfortable in your surroundings, learn a little something, and receive courteous customer service...sadly this does not seem to be the philosophy of Uptown Art of Greenville, and that is proven further by the other less than stellar reviews they have received on social media. I plan to try out some of the other similar business that offer this service in the area and compare.

Final Rating: 3 out of 5 Tiger Stripes (You gotta earn your stripes and this place just hasn’t earned 5)

What brand PSU do you have? Have a very similar setup using 350W cheap eBay PSU's. I tried 2 different PSU's while monitoring PSU every thing within the tolerances. In the end even though the eBay PSU's were reading good when I purchased a name brand 350W PSU from Best Buy it worked like a charm.. Anderson, Eds. A. Sabin, N.

Best Buy alone spiked 13% after reporting stronger profit growth than expected thanks in part to solid demand for big screen TVs.Tech stocks like Apple, Facebook and Amazon also rallied, carrying the Nasdaq nearly 3% higher at one point. That would have been its biggest gain since 2011. Instead, the Nasdaq finished slightly in the red.Even before the late day slide, market experts were warning that Tuesday early rebound didn mean everything is back to normal in the global financial markets just because China cut interest rates.Watch for more dramatic market moves as new clues emerge about whether the financial turmoil causes the Federal Reserve to delay its plans to raise interest rates in September until later in the year or even 2016.. 20.

That is, men with money and only men with money and education an inherently exclusive club. Twitter is not inherently open, as it requires contributors to have basic access to technology, an e mail address, computer literacy and hence, some degree of money and education. Something else I can't see: the return of stirrup pants.

Developing Players and Winning Games Shouldn’t be Mutually Exclusive 

FUNdamental Skills - Character Development Series 

By Darren Fenster / September 8, 2017 

Can't we all just get along?

On any given day, on any of the countless social media platforms, you can find baseball coaches ferociously attacking one another from behind their keyboards over a variety of subjects in and around our game. The vast “I’m right, you’re wrong” arguments range from the swing mechanics of hitters, to weighted balls versus long toss for pitchers, to offenses that believe in bunting against those who vilify the mere thought of laying one down.  

But there is one argument prevalent today above all others that shouldn’t be an argument at all: developing players versus winning games. These are in no way two ideals that should be pinned up against one another, but rather two that should work hand in hand, coexisting to be mutually beneficial for the other. But for some reason, many have come to view these two subjects as an “either/or,” and are unable to connect them in the productive relationship that they should naturally be found in.  

The belief that a coach has to be 100% all about developing players or 100% all about winning games is a misguided one in today’s day and age. My question is: when did these two become mutually exclusive?  

Since when did winning become a bad thing?

Since when did making players better become a bad thing?

Since when did these two ideals become all or nothing, one or the other?

This is the baseball world we now live in.

Team coaches are responsible for everything that happens on the field with their collective group of players. The individualized aspects of each player, as well as the overall fundamentals of the team both fall under that coach’s watch.  At many spots, at various levels, they are not getting paid (or volunteering) to spend all hours of the day to improve one part of one player's game, but rather to help teach an entire roster of players how to play the game, and eventually, how to win.  There are many of those coaches out there who we would all enthusiastically send our own children to play for.

On the other end of the spectrum are specialized coaches who are just that – specialized. They are not getting paid to teach the little nuances of the game that are the mark of complete baseball players who do the things needed to help their teams win games, nor do they pretend to be. Their sole purpose may be to increase a single pitcher’s arm strength or perfect the mechanics of an individual hitter’s swing. And there are many out there who are outstanding in doing so.

Last time I checked, when players became better individually, their teams had a better chance of winning.  And in a very similar manner, when players learn all of the things that it takes to win games, they are becoming better individual players.

So with that in mind, I'll ask again, when did winning games and developing players become mutually exclusive?

On the Minor League level where my springs and summers are spent, job security in our player development department is not one bit dependent on winning games. While our focus is consistently placed on helping our players get better day in and day out, rest assure, they are learning how to win along the way.  Winning is not just a byproduct of developing players; it is a significant piece of developing players.  

The job my staff and I have here in A-ball is to build a foundation of professionalism that will enable them not to be successful for the Greenville Drive in the South Atlantic League, but rather eventually in the Big Leagues, to help our parent club, the Boston Red Sox, win baseball games, because that IS their focus. That aforementioned foundation includes everything from teaching our players how to work individually in a manner where they can get something productive out of every single rep on the field, in the cage, or in the bullpen; to learning from their successes and failures in games that contributed to a win or a loss; to approaching every single part of the job - even those that they might dread - with the same focus and effort as they would the parts that they cannot get enough of.

We are working, day in and day out, to develop championship players. And few championships have ever been won with rosters full of players who didn’t understand what it takes to win.  

Without acknowledging winning, players often can become numb to the game’s end result, caring only about themselves and their own development without regard to working with everyone else on the team towards a common goal. Ask any coach – that guy, no matter how good, is a tough pill to swallow.

Without considering development, players will be challenged to find a way to get better when the only thing that matters is the W at the end of the day.

Has the school head coach ever gone into the cage or into the facility to see exactly what his players are working on with their private instructor? Has the hitting guru or velocity expert ever actually seen their clients perform in a game? We can benefit very much from one another being very good at what we do.

When you work to develop players, the result is often winning games.  When you place an awareness on what it takes to win games, you are undoubtedly making players better. The two ideals can coexist.  They HAVE TO coexist. Better players make for more wins, and players who know how to win make better players.
