Greenville Triumph looking to build new $38.6 million stadium in Mauldin
on January 29, 2022 at 3:45 am
MAULDIN, SC (FOX Carolina) - Soon the sounds of cheers for the Greenville Triumph could be coming out of Mauldin. "Gamechanger, it's transformative for the Upstate," City of Mauldin Mayor Terry Merritt. The Triumph have been looking for a new, permanent home for the last two years. Deciding on a six-acre site at Bridgeway Station in Mauldin near I-385 as the ideal spot. "When it came back to that, that to us was a great accolade for the city of Mauldin to even be considered on that scale," said Merritt. The proposed stadium would seat 8,100 people and can be used for much more than just soccer. "We think we can hold up to 150 events of all kinds in this stadium, which really makes it a smart proposition," said Greenville Triumph Soccer Club Chairman Joe Erwin. Some of those events can be other sporting events such as football or lacrosse along with other entertainment. Many people who live in Mauldin FOX Carolina spoke with are optimistic about the proposal. "I was excited that it would bring a different venue of entertainment here to Greenville," said Kris Bryant. But it doesn't come without some concerns. "The traffic situation," added Bryant. Right now, the $38.6 million question is who, and how, this stadium would be paid for. In a meeting <a href="https://www.foxcarolina.com/news/new-38-6-million-multi-purpose-proposed-stadium-to-create-hundreds-of-jobs-house-greenville/article_7731bcce-7a4f-11ec-84fd-bf12bae1b2f7.html" target="_blank">last week</a>, the Greenville County Finance Committee tabled the proposal until they could get their questions about the project answered. Merritt says the agreement with the city and Greenville County would have to make sense to all parties before anything becomes official. But he's hopeful this stadium can come together and bring some added revenue the city loses without a big entertainment space. "If we could capture a portion of that in the city of Mauldin, yes there's a revenue there, but it's an excitement too for our citizens and that's what they've been clamoring for," said Merritt. If all goes as planned, the Triumph hope they can open the 2023 season in the new stadium.

DHEC responds to GCS letter asking for changes in COVID guidelines
on January 28, 2022 at 11:53 pm
GREENVILLE, SC (FOX CAROLINA) - The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) responded to the Greenville County School's letter asking them to align student guidelines with protocols for teachers and staff. In the response, DHEC said if schools follow its current guidance, very few students should have to miss school due to quarantine after exposure to COVID-19. The guidance is provided below: On Jan. 15, 2022, DHEC updated its School and Childcare Exclusion List to allow exposed teachers and school staff without symptoms to continue to work during quarantine in times of crisis staffing conditions Teachers and staff must wear a mask and be tested on day 5. To summarize, avoiding quarantine, masking, and a required test on day 5 is identical to DHEC’s Test To Stay program for exposed students without symptoms.DHEC has supported the Test to Stay programs since early January. It allows students who are close contacts to stay in school by wearing a mask, monitoring for symptoms, getting a negative rapid test between day 5- 7, and if a second test is available, a second negative rapid test 24 hours before or after the first test. DHEC said it recommends schools adopt the Test To Stay procedures, and allow students exposed to COVID-19 to remain in school so long as they have a negative test. We reached out to the Greenville County Schools District for a statement regarding this response. This is what the Executive Director of Strategic Communications & Engagement Whitney Hanna had to say: Neither the Greenville County Schools’ Board of Trustees nor the Administration has received a direct response to the Board letter that was sent to DHEC’s Chair this morning. It appears that DHEC’s media response does not answer the Board’s request in the letter to handle student quarantines in the same manner as employee quarantines. While working during quarantine, DHEC allows employees to take a PCR test on day 5. The district has multiple sites where employees and students can get a free PCR tests with a quick reporting turnaround time. DHEC’s test-to-stay program requires that students take a rapid test, which are difficult to obtain and are not equitably available. The district has requested rapid tests from the State so they will be free and available to our students in an equitable manner, but we have not received any rapid tests at this time.

Donalds active firefighter turns 95
on January 28, 2022 at 10:50 pm
DONALDS, SC (FOX Carolina) - One of the oldest, active firefighters in our state is turning 95. Hobart "Hobie" Erickson has served as a first responder for over 65 years. And he has no plans to hang up his helmet. Erickson started his career back in 1965, in New Jersey. He later moved down South and joined the Donalds Fire Department more than 35 years ago. He was once the chief of the station. Outside of serving, he works out for over an hour three times a week and teaches golf part-time. He calls this "slowing down.""I do that so I can play free golf," Erickson jokes.He turns 95 Monday, making him the oldest, active firefighter out of the over 17,000 members of the South Carolina Firefighters Association, according to the association. Chief Ronnie Vaughn says he remembers working under him when first started."I become a lieutenant and he was chief. And man, was I scared to death of him," said Vaughn.Vaughn says Erickson is still helping out."He drives his trucks and pumps them. He still responds to medical calls," Vaughn said.Though they won't let him fight fires anymore, Erickson says he would if he could.Vaughn says they don't make them like Erickson anymore. The first responders at the station look up to him."We've learned from him. It has made us a better fire department," Vaughn said, "And anytime anybody needs anything, he's there."Erickson says things have changed over the years. He was on a waiting list to be a firefighter when he first started. Now, many stations are struggling to get people in. He just hopes his career sets an example for the next person willing to serve."First of all, The Good Lord's watching over me. He has been good to me. I have a good wife. And I have a good fire department here. All these guys take care of me. They're always watching over me," Erickson said, "As long as I can keep going, I'm going to keep going."The chief is planning a celebration Saturday at 4 p.m.Erickson plans to have Outback Steakhouse with his wife and church friends to celebrate his birthday.
