CITY
SYMBOLIC SIGNAGE
n story and photos by EVAN PETER SMITH
It’s been a little more than a year since downtown Greenville’s iconic Brown Street sign had to be taken down after it was struck by a tractor-trailer. Now the sign’s artisan builders are hard at work on a replacement, which is slated to be installed by the end of February. Ben Moseley runs operations for The Heirloom Companies, the family-owned company behind the award-winning Brown Street sign and other iconic Greenville landmarks such as the Cancer Survivor Park’s Celebration of Hope Pavilion.

“This design was personal for us,” Moseley said of the Brown Street sign, “but I didn’t expect it to be personal to so many other people. After it got damaged and taken down, we got so many messages from people we don’t even know who were saying how sorry they were. We found out people really missed it, which meant a lot to us.” The pedestals of the original sign, however, were too structurally damaged to be repaired, Moseley said, which meant a whole new sign needed to be built. After a year of what Moseley calls “dealing with the red tape of the insurance companies,” work on the new sign is finally underway. For more information visit GreenvilleJournal.com

OPINION
Three things you’ve probably never heard about affordable housing n by DON OGLESBY, PRESIDENT/CEO, HOMES OF HOPE
So many people are talking about the need for more affordable housing. Those of us who have been working in the field for years are thrilled that the community is so interested in this. Unfortunately, the conversation has often been limited to frustration at the need, while solutions and nuances of the problem are left out because of lack of information. Recently we ran a series with GVLToday on social media highlighting the “5 things you’ve probably never heard about affordable housing.” We had amazing response to the series. Given space restraints, here is the condensed version — covering the top three.
1
It is currently very difficult for “the market” to provide affordable housing on its own.
Recently Homes of Hope retained a real estate developer with 30 years’ experience and a great track record of success. We hired him to be the point person in our site work — both in design and execution of land preparation for builderready lots. After about six months we had a lunch meeting, and at that meeting he said “Don, this is way harder than anything I’ve done!” I gave him a knowing laugh. Yes, yes it is. Essentially, land, materials, and labor all cost what the market dictates that they cost. Affordable housing developers (for the most part) pay the same for these components as market-rate developers. If you want to build affordable housing using the donated land, donated material, donated labor model, you will never be able to achieve large, scalable results. There are just not enough donations to make a dent in our affordable housing crisis. The average developer can pass on rising costs of materials to their consumers through the sales or rental price, but affordable housing developers must find a way to put a ceiling on the final cost to the consumer without sacrificing quality. If your costs are higher than these families can pay, you cannot simply raise their price the way a market-rate developer could.
2
YOU might be living in affordable housing!
We need to stop thinking about affordable housing as something you can see, and instead think of it as something that is simply a math equation. Let’s do the math. If a family of four earning $140,000 lives in a $600,000 home, and the interest rate is 3.9% for a fixed-rate 30-year mortgage, their cost of housing will be just
FAMILIES

It is housing that is affordable to any person of any income. Right now, there is not nearly enough housing that is affordable to people of low-to-moderate incomes. That’s all we’re talking about here.

We love donations, but you can also invest.
We cannot donate our way out of this problem. Our supporters have been investing in our work for years. Affordable housing does produce some income, it’s just not market-rate income. Affordable housing can indeed repay investors something. These investors know that their communities will be better off if the people who wait tables in their favorite restaurants, or clean the hotel rooms of visitors to our cities, or cut their kid’s hair, or mow their lawns, or teach their children, or rescue their homes when they catch on fire, or protect them when they need a police officer, can actually afford to live there. They also know that this affordability creates investment in our community. People who can afford their home can save more and spend more — maybe even in your store or business! And if they can save more and afford more things, then maybe we don’t have to subsidize them when they can’t. Investing in affordable housing can realize a huge social impact “return,” a huge community impact “return” and a reasonable financial return! And unlike a donation, you can invest your money again after that. You could multiply your impact!

Deaf J.L. Mann volleyball player overcomes challenges to hit world court n story by KEVIN MELTON | photos by BONFIRE VISUALS
L
auren McCutcheon says she doesn’t feel any different than anyone else. The truth is that the J.L. Mann junior may not be giving herself enough credit. McCutcheon racked up some impressive numbers on the volleyball court last season and gained state and national attention — despite being deaf. McCutcheon, however, hasn’t allowed that be an issue. The J.L. Mann Patriots outside hitter was named the Region 1-AAAAA Player of the Year and also earned all-state honors this past season. She was named the state’s American Volleyball Coaches Association Player of the Week during the season. She led the region with 358 kills and added 42 aces, 41 blocks and 224 digs. She has been named to the AVCA Phenom watch list, JVA watch list and Hub City all-tournament team.
I just love to compete as well and don’t consider myself any different than anyone. I just want to play every point like it’s a match point and give everything I can for my team. -Lauren McCutcheon
With those numbers, it’s no wonder McCutcheon is getting the attention of college coaches. McCutcheon was born deaf and received an implant in her right ear at the age of 18 months. However, the University of South Carolina commit says when she hits the floor, everyone is equal. “I’ve been fortunate to have played at Mann since eighth grade, so my teammates and I have become very comfortable together,” she said. “There are times my device goes out and they are great about looking at me so I can read lips or signaling with their hands to get my attention. I just love to compete, as well, and don’t consider myself any different than anyone. I just want to play every point like it’s a match point and give everything I can for my team.”

That attitude has translated into being a top recruit — not just in the area, but nationally. Making her college decision, though, one could say she was born to play at Carolina. Her dad, Jason Pomar, was a two-sport athlete in football and baseball for the Gamecocks, and her mom, Kendra Stout, was a softball standout. McCutcheon said that it was an easy decision to spend her college years in Columbia. “I did receive several offers, but I narrowed it down to Oklahoma and (USC),” she said. “I loved everything about OU — the athletic culture, the direction the program is heading and coaches. But I’ve grown up a Gamecock fan. My mom played softball there and my dad played football and baseball there, so I wanted to be a part of the volleyball program continuing to make a national mark and also continue the family legacy. My oldest sister, Jordyn, is also a freshman there. The coaching staff is top notch, and I love the idea of my family getting to watch us compete.” McCutcheon’s abilities have been recognized well beyond the Upstate of South Carolina. She recently participated as a member of the USA Deaf National volleyball team that won a gold medal at the Pan American Games last month in Brazil. The USA team defeated Brazil 3-0 in the final.

McCutcheon’s trip to Brazil was coming off a disappointment in the state high school playoffs. The Patriots, who finished second in the region, advanced to the second round before losing to eventual state champion Nation Ford. Mann did beat Nation Ford in the first set before dropping the next three. That loss has already started a drive in McCutcheon for next year. “We lost a lot of seniors that have been a part of making Mann volleyball what it is, but I know we have younger players that are ready to step up,” she said. “My goal is to leave Mann with a state championship in 2020.” As for life beyond high school McCutcheon said that she wants to follow in her mother’s footsteps and compete for SEC and national titles while being the best possible teammate and player. She’s also got her sight set on another gold medal next summer. “It was amazing to play on a team with awesome girls that are hearing impaired, as well,” McCutcheon said. “Representing the USA was amazing, and I’m thankful to be a part of a great team with some great veteran leaders. These teammates in one trip taught me so much and left me hungry to learn to communicate better with them by learning sign language. Winning gold is indescribable, (and) going undefeated made it even sweeter.”

HUNTERS for the HUNGRY
Super Way
The
to Feed This Winter
In South Carolina, where 1 in every 7 people struggles with hunger and 1 in 5 of them is a child, there’s constant demand for whatever food pantries can wrap up for takeaway or soup kitchens can put on the table. Sometimes, the answer for neighbors helping neighbors is found not with food that comes out of a can but with fare that has been considered a treat for special occasions and is rarely seen on menus. It’s there for the taking, in the woods of the Palmetto State, every hunting season. Venison—low-fat red meat that’s rich in protein—is more and more finding its way onto the tables of the chronically hungry. “Very lean. So it meets all the buzzwords of the day. It’s free range and organic … I mean, you can’t get it any better than deer and as a matter of fact, I’m smoking a venison backstrap right now out here,” said Tim Sorrells, the retired assistant head football coach at Furman University, pointing to the smoker in his backyard near Paris Mountain State Park. When Sorrells retired from coaching in 2017, he wondered how he would fill his time. The answer, it seemed, could be found back in Tennessee where his dad grew up on a farm.

In 2018 the organization donated 70,000 POUNDS of venison “So that’s how I first started loving hunting in the outdoors and that kind of thing,” Sorrells said. “So it was a natural progression for me just to continue that—certainly after I retired—and getting involved with it just from a personal standpoint but now being able to incorporate that love of

hunting with also helping people has just been perfect for me. “I had a great season,” he added. “I killed seven deer total for me this year. I donated three of those seven.” Growing up in The Volunteer State, Sorrells learned of a program that allowed hunters to donate their kill. When he retired from Furman, he powered up his PC, hunted online for a similar organization, called the number on its website and was invited to a meeting. Now Sorrells serves as a board member for South Carolina Hunters for the Hungry, whose headquarters is in an old armory in Pacolet that also serves as a food pantry for 150 families, providing cleaning and paper products, canned food and meat — venison when available — two Thursdays a month. The white-tailed deer that Sorrells and his hunting buddies shoot are first taken to approved, licensed meat processors where they are turned into roasts, stew meat and tenderloin or simply ground meat and then frozen until a local charity can have someone pick it up. Hunters who donate their kill are faced with a processing fee averaging $75 per deer, which is either paid by the hunter as a tax-deductible donation or through funds raised by Hunters for the Hungry to offset the cost. In 2018, the organization donated 70,000 pounds of venison, about the figure projected for 2019 and one that Sorrells says could jump to 300,000 pounds in coming years if the group attracts more volunteers and funding. But even with the current 70,000 pounds, Sorrells points out, a lot of folks are being fed. “Well, we think it’s four meals per pound … so that would be 280,000 meals,” he said. Sorrells acknowledges that hunting deer is off-putting for some people. “‘Oh, I’m not eating Bambi or whatever … ‘I don’t like the taste of wild game,’ and that’s fine,” he said. “What I have understood and grown to love and appreciate about what we’re doing in our organization is, if you’re hungry you’d love it. “And so we’re not concerned about the fancier palates,” he added. “We’re concerned about the ones that really need it. And that’s been good for us.” Sorrells’ group aims to expand the existing network of meat packers, food banks and food pantries across the state. “Our end goal is to be where we can have a boots-on-the-ground guy in every
Our end goal is to be where we can have a boots-on-the-ground guy in every county.” -Tim Sorrells, board member, SC Hunters for the Hungry county” who can manage logistics and fundraising, he said. The organization is also looking for more volunteers to distribute processed meat. As fundraising efforts continue, Hunters for the Hungry is getting some help from big names. Furman’s current head football coach, Clay Hendrix, named the group as his beneficiary at a recent South Carolina Coaches for Charity event. Dabo Swinney, head coach at Clemson University, named it one of his All-In Team Foundation’s grant recipients. And the late Sam Wyche (Furman quarterback 1963-1965 and head coach of the Cincinnati Bengals), served as the keynote speaker at a Hunters for the Hungry banquet. Sorrells’ organization has also received support from Paul Constantine, a Furman graduate and executive at ScanSource, a Fortune 1000 point-of-sale technology company based in Greenville. In August, Gov. Henry McMaster will be the guest of honor at another banquet, to be held at Philadelphia Baptist Church in Spartanburg County. There’s no official word on whether fried chicken or venison will be on the menu. “It’ll be barbequed something,” Sorrells said. “We’re trying to bridge that gap between anybody that has limited knowledge of hunting and what hunters do and the compassion of feeding people that are in great need,” he said. “And we’re meeting that need. “So help us meet that need.” For more information on Hunters for the Hungry, visit www.h4hungry.org.

City of Greenville receives high marks in annual audit
n story by EVAN PETER SMITH
The city of Greenville received an unmodified opinion in its 2019 audit, the highest opinion possible. An unmodified opinion is one in which the audit offers a high level of assurance that the financial statements under review contain no misstatements. “So that is to say, you did a good job,” said Ken Meadows, partner with the accounting firm Greene Finney, which conducted the financial statement audit. Rather than a forensic audit, which is used to gather evidence over concerns of fraud, a financial statement audit aims to provide a picture of an entity’s financial health — in this case, the financial health of the city of Greenville. The findings of the audit provided “reasonable assurance” that the city’s financial statements are materially correct. “But the reason we say ‘reasonable assurance’ as opposed to ‘absolute assurance’ is we won’t necessarily audit every transaction,” Meadows said. “We may do a sampling of those.” The audit revealed that the city’s general fund increased by about $500,000 in 2019, bringing the balance up to $28.8 million. Of that amount, $25.7 million remains unassigned. This is good news for the city, Meadows said, because it equates to about 31% of
the total expenditures for the fiscal year 2019. City policy recommends that the city keep an amount of unassigned money in its general fund no less than 20% of the previous year’s total expenditures. With 31% of 2019’s total expenditures in the city’s general fund now, the city’s general fund balance is in “very health shape,” Meadows said. The city’s total revenues for the year came to a little more than $91 million. That’s up $8.4 million from 2018, or 10.2%, and was about $200,000 more than the city anticipated in its yearly budget.

Prisma Health is eliminating 327 employees, or about 1% of its workforce of 32,000, to improve operating efficiencies and streamline the organization, officials announced Jan. 16. Prisma Health has eliminated 200 other positions across its Upstate and Midlands locations since Oct. 1 for a total of 527 employees. Employees have been notified. “The healthcare environment in which we operate is becoming increasingly challenging for a variety of reasons, including lower reimbursements and increasing numbers of patients who are underinsured or uninsured,” said Mark O’Halla, president and CEO of Prisma Health. O’Halla said that when Prisma Health was formed 26 months ago, they began integrating and consolidating functions to gain the benefits of scale and to remove costs from the organization. Duplicative executive management positions were eliminated, leadership was restructured and there was a significant cost savings in supplies, technology and other areas. “We are taking steps to ensure that everything we are doing — both clinical and nonclinical — is delivering quality and value,” O’Halla said. “As part of this ongoing work, we have identified a number of additional expense-reduction strategies, many of which impact our workforce. These are difficult decisions, but we need to make them now so we can provide the quality care our patients deserve in a financially sustainable manner that
positions us for future growth opportunities.” Areas affected span the organization, including administrative, corporate and clinical areas across all campuses. Prisma Health is providing the affected employees with severance pay and outplacement services. They’ll also have the opportunity to apply for open positions across the organization. In addition, Prisma Health Greenville Memorial Hospital’s 15-bed Subacute Unit and the Children’s Residential Program in Greenville will be phased out in the coming months. Patients treated in these programs have a number of other local options, officials said, and Prisma Health is taking the steps necessary to ensure that there is minimal disruption to patient care during the transition. “We’re committed to building a stronger organization, where patients will experience consistent, high-quality care, regardless of which Prisma Health location they choose for care,” O’Halla said. “At Prisma Health, the patient is at the center of everything we do.” Prisma Health has 18 hospitals, 2,984 beds, more than 300 physician practice sites and serves more than 1.2 million unique patients annually.

Greer’s list of amenities will soon include a public golf course. The city is in the midst of acquiring the Greer Golf & Country Club on Gap Creek Road, City Administrator Ed Driggers said. The 34-acre property and its buildings are currently under contract. The purchase amount was not available at the time of publication. Greer City Council approved the purchase of the 64-year-old club in December.
The city will assume the debt and assets of the club — including its employees — and intends to operate the facility as a public golf course. It’ll be one of only six municipal courses in South Carolina, according to the city. “We’re continuing to invest in quality of amenities like parks and recreation, green spaces, and now this golf course,” Driggers said.

PROFILE
YMCA of Greenville’s new executive director works to expand impact on community n story by JESSICA MULLEN | photo PROVIDED
Brian Vest was recently named the district executive director for the YMCA of Greenville. He describes his job as “community-building, advocating for our organization, and helping to bring people to the table” in a quickly growing Greenville community. Vest describes himself as “a product of the Y,” saying, “I grew up in the Y; it was a second home for me as a kid. As a teen, I was in the teen leadership program at the Asheville Y where I lived. Very early in my life, the Y was one of those cornerstone experiences for me.” Vest went on to study recreation management in college while working at the Charlotte YMCA’s Camp Harrison. According to Vest, this time solidified a passion for youth service. Vest says he worked for the YMCA of Charlotte for 13 years before moving to Greenville in 2019. As district executive director, he is responsible for implementing strategic plans and overseeing the dayto-day operations of the Caine-Halter and Verdae branches of the YMCA.
I believe there’s no organization better positioned than the Y to take that to another level as people come in and help them get connected.” -Brian Vest, executive director, YMCA Greenville The biggest difference Vest says he sees between the YMCA of Greenville and branches where he had previously served is the decades-long impact the organization has had on the community. “I was talking with a guy the other day who is a veteran with a disability who got here through city transport so he could meet his occupational therapist for therapy in the pool,” Vest says. “And he told me, ‘As a kid, I learned to swim at Camp Greenville and got my lifeguard certification. The Y was critical for me because my mom was a single mom, and we didn’t have opportunities, but we had opportunities at the Y.’ And that’s a theme here in Greenville. The number of people who are regular users of the facility today, who can remember playing softball down on the fields or learning to swim here when they were 10, is special. The Y was a critical piece of their livelihood
50 years ago, and today and our staff is excited to go and tell that story.” In addition to preserving the Caine-Halter YMCA’s history in Greenville, Vest says he believes the YMCA is poised to make an impact on the city’s near future as it grows. “Greenville is attractive because there’s a sense of community and engagement, and people know each other,” Vest says. “If people are pouring into Greenville and they’re getting a vanilla experience, that edge is lost.” For Vest, achieving that vision begins by first looking inward. “We have to make sure we take care of our house,” he says. “We’re investing in this facility and in the experience of our members. Once we have that confidence that we’re doing that well, it’s easy to flip that script and do it on the outside.” On Jan. 16, the Caine-Halter branch debuted new fitness equipment and flooring in its largest exercise room. Some other program focuses in the coming year include improving childcare and the branch’s after-school programs to cater to busy young families. “We’re trying to provide cross-pollination opportunities to help families touch each piece of our organization,” Vest explains. “You can do your after-school program and your swim lessons and your sports right here at the Y, so you don’t have to drive all over town. We want to simplify and create synergy between some of our programs.” Vest says he believes that in the fitness industry, things are shifting toward small group emphasis. “People want to build community; they don’t want to just get on a treadmill,” he says. “They don’t want to just lift weights; they want someone to build connectivity and hold them accountable. “I believe there’s no organization better positioned than the Y to take that to another level as people come in and help them get connected,” he adds. “We use our tools and programming and facility to make community, and that’s what it’s all about.”

More than words While the name alone is indicative of the service, Speech Therapy covers more than just speech! At Elite Integrated Therapy Centers, we are excited to offer Speech Therapy at select locations and in the home. For infants to age 21, the primary role of a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) is the development of speech, language, memory/attention/problem solving, social, and feeding/swallowing skills. For adults, and at times children and teens, SLPs help to rehabilitate those same systems if they become impaired due to an accident/injury (i.e. traumatic brain injury, concussion, cancer, or stroke; Parkinson’s, ALS, MS, Acute Flaccid Myelitis, and other neurological diseases) or due to aging, mild cognitive impairment, and/or dementia. While some problems or diagnoses cannot be fully rehabilitated, SLPs help clients in maintaining maximal independence, finding the safest nutrition/hydration plan, and providing strategies and/or resources to keep the client’s highest level of function.

Chautauqua kicks off 2020 with Teddy Roosevelt n story by GEORGIA GAY | photo PROVIDED
Chautauqua is where stories are told and history comes to life. This season’s theme is “Reinventing America,” beginning with an opening night benefit show. “An Evening with Teddy Roosevelt,” the first character study of the year, will start the winter season at 7 p.m. on Jan. 31 at the Younts Center for Performing Arts. “This is the only ticketed show of the year. All other events are free to attend,” said Carolina McIntyre, administrator and historical interpreter. On Feb. 1-2, Roosevelt will also stop by Wade Hampton High School for two shows. “There will be about 600 people at Wade Hampton, so be sure to arrive early,” McIntyre said. Roosevelt will be played by Doug Mishler, who is no stranger to this character. “Teddy is dynamic, in a way outrageous and profound,” Mishler said. Mishler has been part of Chautauqua since 1993 and has 20 active characters. He has made 800 first-person presentations of over 24 historical figures, with Roosevelt being one of his favorites. “It’s almost too easy to act as Teddy because so many of my other characters are so serious, like Jefferson Davis and Pablo Picasso,” Mishler said. However, studying and fully engulfing himself as Roosevelt isn’t an easy task. “There are 36 books Teddy has written and thousands of letters and speeches he gave that I have studied,” Mishler said.
Teddy is dynamic, in a way outrageous and profound.” -Doug Mishler, actor Roosevelt was also more than just a president. He was a cowboy in the Dakotas, a soldier on San Juan Hill and a political advocator, according to Mishler. “No one changed American politics more than he did,” McIntyre said.

PARKINS MILL AREA History and Beginnings
was an operating mill located in the present-day Parkins Mill area. However, unlike most of the mills throughout Greenville, the Parkins Mill did not produce textiles. Built between 1825 and 1830, the mill was situated close to where Reedy River and Brushy Creek meet and it ground corn and wheat to produce flour and meal. The "Parkins" name allegedly comes from Allen Parkins, the patriarch of the Parkins family that moved to the area from Newberry County around 1817. Parkins bought a large amount of land and quickly accumulated over 2700 acres - stretching from Laurens to Augusta Road and from Pleasantburg to East Parkins Mill. The mill would operate long after Allen Parkins death in 1836. Elizabeth Parkins, Allen's wife, took over operations of the mill until her death in 1855. Then one of their sons oversaw operations for a few years before the mill ultimately closed and went out of business. The mill building would ultimately stand, even if in disrepair, for more than a century until the mid 1990s the mill would be demolished to make way for other developments and county use. What is now known as Mauldin Road was originally a dirt path worn from carts and horses traveling from the family home to the Reedy River - originally this path was known as Parkins Mill Road.
However, modern day Parkins Mill Road sits almost in the middle of what the family acreage would have been and divides the now long forgotten estate. Today, there is not much left of the Parkins properties, mill and outbuildings, and one would be hard pressed to find exact locations of where all the historical buildings

Local ceramicist Will Donovan’s very active pursuit of clay
CLAY photo by ASHLEY CUOCO
n story by GEORGIA GAY | photos PROVIDED
When Will Donovan, a local ceramicist, isn’t throwing clay in his personal studio, he is crafting tableware for restaurants in Greenville. He also works with Clay King in Spartanburg and as a studio manager and teacher at Hollowed Earth Pottery. To say he sleeps, breathes and lives clay is an understatement. “Clay has always been a very active pursuit for me,” Donovan said. It was an existential crisis that led Donovan to clay. Originally from Myrtle Beach, Donovan attended North Greenville University and enrolled his freshman year as a business major.
Clay has always been a very active pursuit for me.” -Will Donovan, ceramicist “The day before classes started, I had a weird existential crisis,” Donovan said. “I switched to art on a whim but had never taken an art class before.”

Creating a new schedule at the last minute, Donovan decided to take ceramics to fill a spot. Digital art wasn’t an interest to him and painting along with printmaking classes were full. “I started liking ceramics so much that I would often be in the studio after hours,” Donovan said. “I liked the 3D part of it, having to touch it, mold and shape it.” After graduating, Donovan put out feelers to gauge where he could continue ceramics. “I was actually mowing my previous ceramic professor’s lawn in exchange for studio space and the ability to practice for two years,” Donovan said. During this time, Donovan discovered he was able to sell his work in the Greenville Farmers Market, where he started to take commission orders. Soon, local restaurants started to notice his work and asked if he would make tableware for them.
“I have been able to make tableware for Husk and Soby’s while working on a commission for Larkin’s right now,” Donovan said. Currently, for the first time in two years, Donovan is working on something for himself. The project is a tea set with canisters that hold the tea leaves, the lids with woodland creatures for the knobs and tea bowls. “I am happy about this project but it was kind of easy,” Donovan said. Donovan’s ceramic journey has been both rewarding and stubborn, but the first thing he has put all of himself into. “I feel like I have put so much into it that I had to pursue it more.”
Donovan has made tableware for local restauarants including:

“THE RUSSIAN SORCERER & HIS APPRENTICES” » JAN. 25-26 | TIMES VARY » PEACE CENTER » $19-$76 PEACECENTER.ORG The Greenville Symphony’s Russian-born conductor has a special affinity for the colorful, rhapsodic orchestral works of his native land. Classical music fans can expect Edvard Tchivzhel to bring a thrilling, go-for-broke approach to the all-Russian program at the orchestra’s next Masterworks concerts, Saturday-Sunday at the Peace Center. As any longtime observer of Tchivzhel will tell you, Greenville’s maestro loves brisk tempos, dramatic contrasts and powerful orchestral playing. On tap for the program, “The Russian Sorcerer & His Apprentices,” are works by Mikhail Glinka, Alexander Borodin, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov and Igor Stravinsky. “The program represents the best of Russian music of the 19th century,” Tchivzhel said in a recent interview. As a special treat, Stravinsky’s dazzling “Firebird” Suite will be accompanied by projected visual images created by students from the S.C. Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities. “I was very pleased with their creativity,” Tchivzhel said. “They have tremendous imagination.”
‘SORCERER AND HIS APPRENTICES’
The “sorcerer” of the program’s title is Glinka (1804-57), regarded as the father of Russian concert music. He inspired generations of Russian classical composers. “All music in Russia stems from him,” Stravinsky said 101 years after Glinka’s death.

I was very pleased with their creativity. They have tremendous imagination.” -Edvard Tchivzhel, conductor, Greenville Symphony Orchestra Glinka sought to create a unique Russian musical culture by using folk music and stories from Russian history and folklore. The concerts open with Glinka’s exuberant Overture to “Russlan and Ludmilla.” Next up is Borodin’s Second Symphony, subtitled “Heroic” and inspired by the lore of Russia’s medieval knights. The program also features Borodin’s best-known work, the energetic “Polovtsian Dances.” Broadway fans will recognize the piece’s themes as the inspiration for the 1953 musical “Kismet.” Closing the program are two classicalmusic dazzlers: Rimsky-Korsakov’s brilliantly orchestrated “Capriccio espagnol” and Stravinsky’s electrifying “Firebird” Suite.

One of the best things about doing what I do is the surprises. There are a lot of talented artists around the Upstate who have snuck up on me with a great single, album or performance that compelled me to write about them. Welcome to that club, Salti Ray. To be fair, I was already somewhat familiar with Spartanburg’s Salti Ray band because of its multiple nominations for Upstate Music Awards. The group is up for Best Single (for “Ocean City”), Best Live Act and Best New Artist. But I hadn’t seen them live until recently, and the band’s performance, opening for Sexbruise? at the Radio Room, was striking enough that I knew I had to talk to it. The band radiated a sense of joy onstage that you don’t always see in live performance, and it seemed clear to me that singer/guitarist Mary Norris and lead guitarist Noelle Taylor, the nucleus of the band, had an infectious passion for their music.
the Spartanburg scene has really begun to grow in the last couple of years, and people have been very open and very welcoming.” -Mary Norris singer/guitarist

And what an expansive style of music it is. Onstage, the band went from catchy guitar-pop to lengthy hard-rock epics to introspective folk, and then ended its set with a cover of Britney Spears’ “Toxic.” That’s a pretty wide range of sounds, but Norris’ powerful voice and stage presence and Taylor’s stunning lead guitar skills served as a through-line that connected their disparate influences. While the band Salti Ray (which also includes skilled drummer and vocalist Houston Garrett), is a new project, Norris and Taylor have been working together in some form for more than a decade. “We just didn’t have a name for it, but it was always us two,” Norris says. “Noelle and I actually met in guitar class in middle school, so we’ve been playing together a long time. When we met, I asked her, ‘What
do you want to be when you grow up?’ And she said, ‘I want to be a musician and play in a band,’ and so did I. So that’s what we did.” Taylor is an absolute beast on lead guitar, and Norris says she’s lucky to have a musician like that as a collaborator. “She makes my songs better,” Norris says. “That’s the biggest thing. Whatever I write, when I bring it to her, she’s going to make it way better than it was when I wrote it, just because she adds so much. She just amplifies it with whatever she comes up with for the song.” Norris and Taylor were so close they decided to go to college together, leaving Charleston to pursue degrees in music at USC Upstate. What they found on Spartanburg’s music scene was so encouraging they decided to make their move permanent. “We loved the music community so much that we wanted to stay in the area,” Norris says. “I think at first it was really hard for us to find a sense of community in any music scene, but the Spartanburg scene has really begun to grow in the last couple of years, and people have been very open and very welcoming. It’s been really great seeing that the musicians are all there for each other, and supporting each other, and passionate about what the other bands are doing. It’s a real community, and I didn’t want to leave it.” As for the passion and commitment I sensed during Salti Ray’s performance, Norris says that she and Taylor have remained true to that dream they had as middle schoolers. “We’re very passionate about this,” she says. “This is what we want to do. We want to be able to support ourselves making music. That’s really all we want.”

South Carolina Children’s Theatre is returning to Narnia n story by PAUL HYDE | photo PROVIDED
By popular demand, C.S. Lewis’ “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” is being brought back for seven performances, Jan. 25-Feb. 2, at the Peace Center’s Gunter Theatre. This production marks the third time the S.C. Children’s Theatre has staged the classic play. The story follows four children who visit a home in the country. They find a wardrobe that leads them into the magical land of Narnia. There they meet a centaur, a faun and other fantastical creatures. A witch rules over Narnia, although the rightful king is the great lion Aslan. “It’s a good-versus-evil fantasy,” Granner said. The play is particularly popular because many young people have read the book in school, Granner said. Her staging features a cast of 26, mostly children and teens. The 75-minute, one-act play is appropriate for ages 4 and up, Granner said, although younger children might be a little frightened by the battle scene. Granner, a longtime director for S.C. Children’s Theatre, specializes in creating puppets. For this production, she designed a particularly large puppet for the Christ-figure of Aslan.

Will Ragland, a veteran Upstate actor and executive artistic director of the Mill Town Players, provides the voice of Aslan. Bill Munoz, of Flat Rock Playhouse, staged the play’s battle scene.

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // JANUARY 24
An Upstate native has been named co-artistic director of the South Carolina Children’s Theatre thanks to grant money from Hollingsworth Funds. Matt Giles will join the Children’s Theatre in March and will serve alongside current artistic and education director Betsy Bisson for a year before becoming sole artistic director, according to a news release. A graduate of Wofford College, Giles joins the Children’s Theatre from Children’s Theatre Company in Minneapolis — the nation’s largest theater for multigenerational audiences, where he currently serves as general manager. “It has been a dream of mine to return to the South and to have the opportunity to do so at South Carolina Children’s Theatre is almost too good to be true,” Giles said in the release. “I have such a passion for the work they do on their stages, in their classrooms and throughout the community.” Prior to his time in Minneapolis, Giles was the associate producing director at
Seattle Repertory Theatre. He is also an accomplished director, with more than 30 directorial credits to his name, the release said. Giles will direct the Children’s Theatre in Greenville as well, beginning with “Curious George: The Golden Meatball” in April — the theater’s final production as a resident company of the Peace Center. Founded in 1987, the South Carolina Children’s Theatre produces and performs five live main theatre performances featuring children and adults each year as well as offering year-round education in the dramatic arts for children ages 3 to 18.

Grammy-nominated bluegrassers Sister Sadie headed for the Upstate
New Greenville writers network brings community to a solitary pursuit
n story by VINCENT HARRIS photo provided by PINECASTLE RECORDS
n story by EVAN PETER SMITH | photos PROVIDED
There’s a popular, Grammy-award-nominated group coming to the Upstate Saturday, Jan. 25, but its not playing at Bon Secours Wellness Arena or the Peace Center. Sister Sadie, a critically acclaimed Nashville, Tennessee, bluegrass quintet that was nominated for Best Bluegrass Album in 2018, will play Jan. 25 at the Winter Bluegrass Jubilee at the Pickens High School, and the band will bring some serious acoustic instrumental skills and stunning vocal harmonies with it. The Grammy nomination was the beginning of a whirlwind 12 months for Sister Sadie, which consists of guitarist Dale Ann Bradley, fiddle player Deanie Richardson, banjo player Gena Britt, mandolin player Tina Adair and upright bassist Haselden Ciaccio. After playing together for years, the group seemed to get a whole lot of recognition in a short period of time.
We used to be little girls sitting at home watching the Grammys, and all of a sudden we’re there getting to participate in all the events.” -Gena Britt, banjo player, Sister Sadie “Last year was a really big year for us,” Britt says. “We’ve been together as a band for seven years now, but the Grammy nomination brought us a lot more notoriety. It exposed our music to different audiences. We were also asked to perform at the Grand Ole Opry, so we debuted there last year, and we won Vocal Group of the Year at the IBMAs (International Bluegrass Music Awards), and that kind of topped it all off.” Britt says that she and the band are still trying to process what they’ve achieved in the last year. “It’s kind of unbelievable,” she says. “We’ve all done this all of our lives, and to have the recognition of your peers and people you’ve always looked up to, it’s really humbling for all of us. We used to be little girls sitting at home watching the Grammys, and all of a sudden we’re there getting to participate in all the events.” The IBMA Vocal Group of the Year award is an important one, because the group’s harmonies are truly dazzling. As an instrumental ensemble, members can spin out dizzying solos til the cows come home, but the band’s earthy, emotional vocals are the epitome of the high-lone-
some bluegrass sound. “That’s one of our favorite parts of being in this band,” Britt says. “We like to put aside one weekend away from everything when we’re getting ready to record, and we’ll just kind of sit around the kitchen table talking about the songs and seeing what works vocally.” What’s most surprising about the member’s skill as ensemble players and vocalists is that Sister Sadie is, for them, essentially a part-time job. Each of the women in the band has her own musical projects, and despite the band’s recent career momentum, Britt says she doesn’t see that changing anytime soon. “Even though we’ve gotten busier as time has gone on, it’s still not a full-time thing,” she says, “although some people might consider it that. We all have things we do individually; we all have projects that came out this last year, and we’re also working on a new band project again. I think we’ve done a pretty good job being able to balance the two.” In fact, Britt suggests that the part-time status just might be what’s kept being in the band fresh for everyone involved. “The thing we decided when we started this band,” she says, “was that we wanted to make sure that when we go out on the road that we’re just as excited that time as the first time we went out to play. That mindset has worked for us. We’re all excited to go out on the road because it doesn’t get stagnant. That keeps it fresh for us as a band, and I think that’s important. I don’t know if that works for every band, but it works for us.”

what we're SEEING MY FAIR LADY AT PEACE CENTER
The story at the center of Lerner and Loewe’s musical “My Fair Lady” is one of the most beloved in the history of both the theater and the cinema. Cockney flowerseller Eliza Doolittle and stuffy linguistics professor Henry Higgins engage in a sweet-and-sour battle of wills as Higgins tries to turn Eliza into a “proper lady,” and various hijinks ensue as they sing classics like “I Could Have Danced All Night,” “The Rain In Spain” and “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly.” The version of “My Fair Lady” at the Peace Center is a recent revival by director Bartlett Sher, and the lavish, kaleidoscopic production has won praise from the New York Times and Entertainment Weekly, among others.
