OPINION VOICES FROM YOUR COMMUNITY, HEARD HERE
Know senior housing options Reflections on Selma The Upstate is growing and the Upstate is aging. Those two facts are undeniable as experts predict our region will grow by almost 230,000 people in the next 15 years – from 1.5 million to 1.8 million. That is like adding three city of Greenville populations in the next decade and a half. Spartanburg’s population was 250,000 in 2000. We will be adding almost another Spartanburg to our region in the next 15 years. As the Upstate skews older, residents will need housing that meets their needs. These will be long-time residents as well as recent transplants coming here because the Upstate is a growing attraction for retirees. The question then becomes, where will all the people live? Particularly those who no longer want 4,000 square foot suburban sprawl sites. The answer will be an uptick in housing aimed for those 65 and older. However, not all senior housing is the same, and the differences can be confusing for retirees or their children searching for the best retirement living options. Here are the basics: Nursing homes (skilled nursing): These facilities primarily provide longterm nursing care, rehab nursing and health-related services on a continuing basis for treatment and inpatient care. A nursing home is designed for someone who needs less care than a hospital, but requires daily health care assistance such as getting in and out of bed, taking medicine or using the restroom. Nursing homes accept a variety of payment options, which may include Medicare, Medicaid, private pay and insurance, depending on the facility. Assisted living facility: These adult care residences serve people who may have physical or cognitive impairments and require at least moderate assistance with the activities of daily living. Memory care units also come under the licensure of assisted living and offer a secured environment for residents with Alzheimer’s and other cognitive impairments. Residents receive three meals a day and snacks and, if necessary, help with bathing, toileting, dressing, groom-

ing, dining, medication management and administration and ambulating. Continuing care retirement community: These communities provide care depending on current needs. Some CCRCs are rental units, much like an apartment but with activities, transportation, housekeeping and at least one meal a day provided. LifeCare communities (also CCRCs) guarantee care for life. Residents pay an entrance fee and monthly service fees, which in turn give the residents residential and healthcare services. Most CCRCs offer independent living, assisted living, memory care and skilled nursing. Most will have skilled nursing services available either onsite, or at licensed facilities off-site. Residents move into the independent area of the CCRC. As they age, they go through the continuum of care, which may include assisted living, memory or skilled nursing. CCRC residents are basically independent, but anticipate and have planned for the need for daily health care for themselves or a spouse in the future. They will receive this care without having to move from the CCRC. Projections show a moderate growth in the number of CCRCs, but much larger growth is occurring to the existing communities that are developing their existing sites to include even more alternatives for residents like villa living. Choosing the one right for you, though, will come down to preference, location, cost and needs.

I am home alone on Tuesday, March 10, reflecting on the remarkable and blessed experiences of the past three days. Yesterday I sat at the steps of the Statehouse in Montgomery, Ala., listening to some remarkable reflections from a spouse and daughter of the 1960s. Juanita Abernathy, widow of Martin Luther King Jr.’s constant companion, Ralph David Abernathy, and Peggy Wallace Kennedy, daughter of former Alabama Gov. George Wallace, gave moving testimonies of what it was like as wills were tested during the run-up to the March 7, 1965, march across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala. I was particularly moved by Ms. Kennedy as she shared the experience of taking her son, Gov. Wallace’s grandson, to the King Center in Atlanta. Her son asked her, “Why did ‘PaPa’ do those things to other people?” Ms. Wallace Kennedy said she told her son that her father “never told [her] why he did those things,” but they were wrong, and it would be “up to [them] to help make things right.” My flight home was out of Birmingham. During the 90-minute automobile ride from Montgomery to Birmingham, the time spent waiting in the Birmingham airport, and on the flights to Columbia through Charlotte, I did a lot of reflecting and projecting. My feelings were that there is much more hope than the despair so many express for the future of our great country. Before leaving Montgomery, I had conversations with several current and former colleagues about what might flow from our weekend experiences. I shared my favorite passage from King’s letter from the Birmingham City Jail. In that timeless document, King responded to those who felt that his cause was right but the timing was wrong. King admonished in that letter that time is never right and time is never wrong. Time is always what we make of it. He went on to say – and I’m slightly paraphrasing here – that “people of ill will in our society make a much better use of time than people of good will.”

He concluded, “We are going to be made to repent not just for the vitriolic words and deeds of bad people, but for the appalling silence of good people.” We are hearing a great deal from those who would like to turn the clock back on voting rights, civil rights and the right to peaceably assemble. The rights to judicial fairness and effective representation in our various legislative bodies are under siege. The allowance of unlimited and secret financing of political campaigns and the creation of political ghettos and barrios are disconcerting. The voices of those who toss around gratuitous insults are loud and clear. On Saturday morning, I sat in the pews of Brown Chapel AMEC and listened to a panel of people whose lives were significantly impacted by the events at Selma 50 years ago. One of them was the daughter of Viola Liuzzo, the white activist who was murdered while transporting some of the marchers back to Selma from Montgomery. Ms. Mary Liuzzo Lilleboe said she is often asked why her mother went to Selma. She said she believes the more appropriate question is “why more people didn’t go.” I believe there are many more people of good will among us than various news reports might lead us to believe. Hopefully, more of them will raise their voices in continuance of our search for “a more perfect union.” James E. Clyburn represents S.C.’s 6th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he is assistant democratic leader. This article originally appeared in the Huffington Post.

BJU president responds to GRACE report findings CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF
clandrum@communityjournals.com Any personnel action that may have been taken against the two men who shouldered most of the blame in Godly Response to Abuse in the Christian Environment’s independent investigation into how Bob Jones University counseled victims of sexual assault won’t be made public. BJU President Steve Pettit addressed the report’s findings in general terms during the school’s chapel service on Tuesday. A more detailed response was posted on the school’s website. The GRACE report found that BJU discouraged or directed some students who reported being sexually assaulted, either as children or while students at the school, from going to police to report the abuse. The report said some students who reported sexual abuse were blamed, told to “deal with their own sin” and sent to untrained staff for counseling. Former BJU President Stephen Jones requested the review two years ago. BJU terminated GRACE’s contract, saying it was concerned about the investigation’s direction, before reinstating it. The report said Bob Jones III, Stephen Jones’ father and the school’s president from 1971 until 2005, was “ultimately responsible” for many of the findings. It recommended BJU take “personnel action” against him. The report also said Jim Berg, the school’s dean of students from 1981 until 2010, “bears a responsibility for much of the pain caused by BJU’s failure to understand and respond adequately to matters related to sexual abuse.” The report recommended Berg no longer be allowed to counsel or teach counseling and that the school no longer use or sell his books or DVDs. “Bob Jones University considers all personnel matters private and handles them internally,” the website said. The website said Berg’s sermons and materials were “faithful to Scripture” and that “thousands of believers have benefitted from his books and hundreds of churches have used his materials with great spiritual profit.” The materials will continue to be used in BJU courses and made available in the campus bookstore and through the BJU Press, the website said. Students told investigators that BJU teachings and practices inhibit abuse victims from disclosing their abuse because they are considered “second-class Christians” and that “the cause of Christ
will somehow suffer if news of abuse gets out to ‘the world.’” Investigators were told women and girls are taught they must “‘confess’ the part of sexual abuse they enjoyed, that they probably enticed the abuser.” They said they were told immodest clothing could lead to lust and a man to act out in inappropriate ways. In his chapel remarks, Pettit said, “Over the years our system of discipline created barriers with many of our students. Some students reported they were afraid to share their problems out of fear of facing discipline. A part of our culture placed too much emphasis on policies and not enough emphasis on people.” Among other items in the school’s response: • One student who left BJU without completing a degree will be allowed to return to BJU or receive assistance in completing her degree at another institution. • A larger pool of individuals inside and outside the university will be trained as advocates. • A review by an outside attorney who previously worked in a prosecutorial role with the U.S. Attorney’s Office did not find any instances where BJU failed to comply with reporting obligations. • The school is conducting a comprehensive review of student life. • A Student Care Center will be established.

Schools struggle with founders’ racial views considered offensive today Clemson, Bob Jones, UNC, Duke and other
Southern colleges take different approaches when confronted with buildings and monuments named after nowcontroversial historic figures
CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF
clandrum@communityjournals.com Ben Tillman was dubbed an “agricultural Moses” for his push for a school to educate South Carolina farmers. As a lifetime trustee appointed in Thomas Green Clemson’s will, and as an elected official – first as South Carolina governor and then as a U.S. senator – Tillman played an instrumental role in the founding of Clemson University. But Tillman had a dark side.
Not the first
An unapologetic racist and virulent white supremacist, Tillman earned the nickname “Pitchfork Ben” for both his agricultural advocacy and for threatening to impale President Grover Cleveland on one.
“Metaphorically and literally, statues have been toppled and cities renamed when the actions of people honored are beyond the pale of what’s acceptable today.” Steve O’Neill, Furman University history professor
It was his racist past – lived more than a century ago – and recent racial strife on campus that prompted a push by some Clemson students and faculty to rename Tillman Hall, one of the school’s most recognizable symbols.
sion and to show edifying love to those who could be offended or hurt by our connections to him,” BJU said in an emailed statement. A number of colleges and universities, most in Alabama, have buildings named after Graves. Some are historically black colleges and universities.
Clemson University isn’t the first university in the Upstate to confront the issue of racism when it comes to a building name. Until 2011, a men’s dormitory on the Bob Jones University campus was named after Bibb Graves, a friend of Bob Jones Sr. and a four-term Alabama governor known for his education reforms. He was also the Exalted Cyclops of the Montgomery chapter of the Ku Klux Klan. Graves attended the groundbreaking ceremony for Bob Jones College in Florida in 1926. The dorm’s name was changed to H.A. Ironside, a Canadian preacher. “BJU proactively changed the name of Bibb Graves Residence Hall in the summer of "BOB JONES UNIVERSITY, FRONT CAMPUS FOUNTAIN" BY JOHN FOXE - PHOTOGRAPH BY JOHN FOXE.

But the issue of what happens when past history and present-day sensibilities collide is not limited to Clemson. “The issue is a universal one,” said Steve O’Neill, a professor of history at Furman University. “Metaphorically and literally, statues have been toppled and cities renamed when the actions of people honored are beyond the pale of what’s acceptable today.” In some ways, no other region has had more dramatic reversals than the South, O’Neill said. “There have been dramatic reversals in the way of life in the South, and that is paralleled by changes in attitude.”
NOT ALONE Clemson is far from the only college to confront the issue. For years, students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill have pushed for Saunders Hall to be renamed. William Saunders was a state historian and a member of the school’s board of trustees. He was also an organizer of the Ku Klux Klan in North Carolina. In January, a group of students, most of them black, protested in front of Saunders Hall with nooses around their necks and signs that read, “This is what Saunders would do to me.” Later,
JOURNAL NEWS they “renamed” the building by writing in chalk on the sidewalk “Hurston Hall” to honor the school’s first black student. School trustees are scheduled to hear an update on the possibility of renaming the building at their meeting this month. In June, Duke University renamed Aycock Hall, a dormitory named after Charles B. Aycock, a governor who supported public education as well as disenfranchising African-Americans through Jim Crow laws. The dorm is now called East Residence Hall, as it was christened when it first opened in 1911 when Duke was still Trinity College. Aycock had no clear ties to Trinity or Duke. “Today, 50 years after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 … the values of inclusion and nondiscrimination are key parts of the university’s mission,” Duke President Richard H. Brodhead wrote in a letter to student leaders. “After careful consideration, we believe it is no longer appropriate to honor a figure who played so active a role in the history that countered those values.” Last month, East Carolina University announced it would “transition” Aycock’s name from a dormitory to Heritage Hall, which will be a place on campus to honor historic figures who had an important role in the campus. At the University of Mississippi, the campus street Confederate Drive has been renamed Chapel Lane. The university hasn’t moved to rename buildings, but is considering adding plaques to provide “context and perspective” to Vardaman Hall, the ballroom in the Johnson Commons, and the Confederate statue at the entrance to Lyceum Circle. At least one building named after somebody from South Carolina has been renamed. Thomas Russell, a law professor at the University of Denver, wrote a research paper about William S. Simkins, a Citadel cadet who possibly
“Some of our historical stones are rough and even unpleasant to look at. But they are ours and denying them as part of our history does not make them any less so.” David Wilkins, chairman of the Clemson Board of Trustees
could have fired the first shot in the Civil War. After the war, Simkins helped organize the KKK in Florida. Simkins taught law in Texas for 30 years and had a dormitory named after him at the University of Texas. The school renamed the dorm after Russell’s research was published. DEBATE REKINDLED The debate over the renaming of Tillman Hall was a short one, at least in the eyes of the Clemson Board of Trustees. Board Chairman David Wilkins said in a statement that the name of the school’s historical buildings would not be changed. “Every great institution is built by imperfect craftsmen. Stone by stone they add to the foundation so that over many, many generations, we get a variety of stones,” the statement said. “Some of our historical stones are rough and even unpleasant to look at. But they are ours and denying them as part of our history does not make them any less so.” Russell, the University of Denver law professor, told the Chronicle of Higher Education that renaming a building is one way for universities to acknowledge the past. But, he cautioned, lines must be drawn, as many people may have held opinions in the past – opinions representative of their day and time – that are considered offensive today.
How far do you go? Furman University history professor Steve O’Neill said when the present tries to cope with the past by renaming buildings, the question becomes: How far do you go? “Where do we draw the line?” he said. “Who gets to decide?” Is being a slaveholder enough? If so, that would include most people of a certain economic status, including George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Is supporting Jim Crow enough? What about those

who didn’t do anything to fight it? That could be considered tacit approval.
Here are some figures from the past who could be considered racist, depending on where that line is drawn: John C. Calhoun: Considered one of the greatest statesmen of the 19th century who intensely defended slavery as positive. He served as vice president and a U.S. senator. Clemson University is built on the site of Calhoun’s Fort Hill plantation.
Edmund Pettus Bridge: The Selma, Ala., bridge that symbolizes the Civil Rights movement is named after Edmund Pettus, a two-term U.S. Senator and former grand dragon of the Alabama KKK.
"VP JOHN CALDWELL CALHOUN" BY MATHEW BRADY
Strom Thurmond: Represented South Carolina in the U.S. Senate for 48 years.

Fountain Inn High won’t open until 2021 Popularity of urban living changes school growth pattern CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF
clandrum@communityjournals.com Greenville County Schools’ latest long-range facilities plan illustrates what homebuyers and contractors have known for a while – there’s a growing number of people interested in urban living. It’s a trend that can be easily seen during a drive-through of most neighborhoods that surround downtown – with more apartments and condo projects coming out of the ground or already completed, infill single-family housing construction in established and more popular neighborhoods, and redevelopment in others. It’s also a trend that will spread student enrollment growth throughout Greenville County instead of concentrating it in the Golden Strip in the county’s southern end as in the years before the recession. That means a new Fountain Inn High School won’t open until 2021. It’s the second time construction of the school

has been delayed. Originally, the school was supposed to open in 2017. But in 2013, the school board pushed back construction until at least 2019 because population growth in the Golden Strip was slower than expected. District officials have said the school will have a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math) focus. The school could focus on manufacturing, and there’s talk of incorporating a career center on the campus to provide students with training in skills used in manufacturing, such as welding and mechatronics. Included in the updated facilities plan for 2014-19 are a 400-student addition to J.L. Mann Academy, an addition to Rudolph Gordon Elementary School and conversion to a K-8 school, and a 100-student addition to Sara Collins Elementary School. In addition to the new Fountain Inn High, projects planned for 2020 and beyond include: • A 250-student elementary addition. • Additions to Fork Shoals, Mountain View, Robert E. Cashion, Simpsonville and Ellen Woodside elementaries. • A new middle school in the northern end of the county. • A new elementary school on the old J.L. Mann site.

Greenville County landfill may accept trash from Henderson County in NC Officials say the move could bring much-needed revenue APRIL A. MORRIS | STAFF
amorris@communityjournals.com Henderson County, N.C., is seeking a new home for its solid waste, and Greenville County is on the list. On Tuesday, Greenville County Council discussed accepting trash from other places as a way to offset operating costs of the Twin Chimneys Landfill. Henderson County issued a request for proposals due April 2 for solid waste hauling and disposal. Greenville’s Twin Chimneys Landfill was listed as a potential destination along with Upstate Landfill in Union County and White Oak Landfill in Haywood County, N.C. Since its landfill closed in the mid1990s, Henderson County has shipped waste to Palmetto Landfill in Spartanburg and Upstate Landfill in Union County, said Henderson County Director of Engineering Marcus Jones.
According to Greenville County spokesman Bob Mihalic, tipping fees for waste generated outside the county range from $21.50 to $30 per ton. Greenville accepts waste from Pickens, Aiken and Greenwood counties. A potential tipping fee for Henderson County could be between $19 and $24 per ton, said County Administrator Joe Kernell. Council members said they were open to discussing accepting more solid waste. “It’s good business to increase our customer base. We’ve got the capacity to do it,” said Council Chairman Bob Taylor. If Twin Chimneys accepted 70,000 tons of Henderson County waste yearly, it would reduce the landfill life by one year and generate approximately $1.4 million in revenue, said Kernell. The estimated life of the landfill is about 80 years, he said. Assistant County Administrator for Public Works Paula Gucker said Twin Chimneys has capacity in space, equipment and staff to handle more. The
landfill accepts an average of 1,362 tons daily and is permitted to accept up to 1,912 tons daily. Jones said Greenville was listed because of proximity. Twin Chimneys and the Upstate landfills are within 75 miles and White Oak Landfill is within 50 miles, he said. Travel radius matters because “the price of gas trumps the tipping fee” outside of about 75 miles, said Jones. Henderson County ships an average of 75,000 tons of waste annually and pays $2.5 million a year for hauling, said Jones. Councilman Joe Dill said he was concerned about the 11 to 12 tractor-trailer loads daily that would come down from Henderson County on their way to Twin Chimneys and the potential road damage. Councilman Sid Cates said he would support an agreement if it made a profit and did not damage the roads. Kernell said he has not talked with Henderson County officials and expects talks could happen after Henderson officials review hauling bids.

Razing awareness St. Baldrick’s asks volunteers to go bald for childhood cancer funding APRIL A. MORRIS | STAFF
amorris@communityjournals.com For the past four years, Robbie Tiffin has gone bald each March. As part of the annual St. Baldrick’s Foundation
fundraiser for childhood cancer research, Tiffin will again be in the barber’s chair on March 15. Participants in the event raise funds and then “brave the shave” to show solidarity with children and teens who lose their hair during cancer treatment. Leading up to this event, volunteers have raised funds during a spirit night at Chick-fil-A and with the Road Warriors hockey team’s Stick It to Cancer night, which resulted in three players
and one staff member with shorn heads, said Tiffin. This year’s goal is $65,000 for the foundation that distributes grants to fund cancer research specifically for children, said Tiffin. Right before the event, Tiffin will be participating in the Dash and Bash 5K. “At least I get to run with hair,” he said. There’s a sense of friendly competition surrounding the event, including longtime (and naturally bald) friends who gave the largest donations to see Tiffin go bald, too, he said. Though there are women who sign

Sasha Allen finds her ‘Voice’ in live theater

Talk about pressure. When Sasha Allen takes on the role of Leading Player in the national touring production of “Pippin,” she’s got some pretty big shoes to fill. Ben Vereen won a 1973 Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his portrayal of Leading Player in the original “Pippin,” even though he didn’t have the title role. Petina Miller, a South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities graduate, won a Tony for Best Actress in a Musical when she played the role in the musical’s Broadway revival 40 years later. Now, it’s Allen’s turn. Wait – pressure? Nah, not when compared to the pressure that comes when performing live on a national television show with millions of viewers. Allen was a Top 5 competitor on season four of “The Voice,” NBC’s reality television show where four big-name musicians choose a dozen singers based solely on their voices and then mentor them as they compete weekly until there’s one winner standing. Allen, who has sung backup vocals for Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys, John Legend and Usher, had been on Broadway before as Dionne in “Hair,” reprising the same role she had played in London. She had co-starred in the independent cult feature, “Camp.” “‘The Voice’ was the best school I possibly could have had,” Allen said during a telephone interview. “It helped me find myself and do it under pressure. The pressure of performing live on TV is out of control. There are 30 million people watching. It required more of me than just singing a song. ‘The Voice’ helped me find me.” “Pippin” tells the story of a young prince on his journey for meaning and significance. It’s no stretch to call “The Voice” Allen’s personal Pippinesque journey.

“It’s something we all go through. When we’re young, 18, 22, we all felt we knew what we were doing, but we didn’t,” Allen said. “Pippin is asking for help in discovering who he is and what he wants in life. Of course, he’s asking the wrong person, but he’s asking for help. It’s about how far we would go to be extraordinary.” Allen said the circus remake of “Pippin” has been challenging. She and the other cast members have to do trapeze and other circus acts. The show re-

In this show, I’ve been able to push myself – really, really push myself.” Allen said she didn’t realize just how much she’d learn on “The Voice.” “I learned so much. I learned a lot about myself,” she said. “I learned how hard I’m willing to work.”

clandrum@communityjournals.com Greenville Little Theatre Executive Artistic Director Allen McCalla could be called the theater’s equivalent to a chef. He takes a musical, mixes in a little mystery, some comedy and a Christmas show and voilà: He’s got the recipe for GLT’s Main Stage season. But, like all good chefs, McCalla knows the real key to success is picking good ingredients that work well together. Here are the ingredients he picked for GLT’s Main Stage season.
“LITTLE WOMEN: THE MUSICAL,” SEPT. 18-OCT. 3 The story: Growth, discovery and love are woven through the lives of four young women: the rebellious Jo, motherly Meg, shy Beth and tempestuous Amy. Led and anchored by the gracious matriarch, Marmee, these “little women” are in for great adventures as they navigate new experiences with their tightly woven family. Why he chose it: “The story has always touched people, but the powerful music of Jason Howland really takes it to another level.”

“THE 39 STEPS,” OCT. 30-NOV. 14 The story: In this adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1935 film, the forces of “The 39 Steps” are out for Richard Hannay, the unsuspecting target of a ring of spies. He’s forced to go on the run and encounters plane crashes, train chases and romance. Four actors play all 150 characters. Why he chose it: “This show combines two of my favorite things: Alfred Hitchcock and comedy. It somehow manages to pay homage to the great filmmaker while making us laugh hysterically at the same time.”
“A CHRISTMAS CAROL,” DEC. 11-20 The story: As the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future force Scrooge to see his life from another’s view, he must make the decision to stay the same or choose a different course. Impressed by his mistakes, Scrooge sees that life is meant to be shared with others. Why he chose it: “Suzanne and I have worked on this particular version 14 times – in Dallas, San Antonio and Greenville – and we love rediscovering it. It is a musical and magical take on the Yuletide classic.”
“AND THEN THERE WERE NONE,” FEB. 19-MARCH 6, 2016 The story: Based on Agatha Christie’s best-selling mystery that has 10 guests arrive on remote Soldier Island to find their host and hostess missing. A mysterious recording accuses each of them of murder, dooming them to demise in the method described by a nursery rhyme. Why he chose it: “Agatha Christie mysteries contain all the elements that make us love theater (suspense, humor, romance and intrigue), and this one is her best.”
“A VISIT FROM SCARFACE,” APRIL 8-23, 2016 The story: In 1930s Hollywood, Ben Hecht writes a film about Al Capone and finds himself the target both of Hollywood censors and Capone’s men. He might just have a Hollywood hit on his hands – if the hit on his back doesn’t go off first. Why he chose it: “Mix together a 1930s Hollywood screenwriter, his agent, a starlet, a wealthy drunk, a temperance leader and some gangsters threatening bodily injury, and you’ve got a recipe for a great comedy.”
“MARY POPPINS,” JUNE 3-26, 2016 The story: This supercalifragilisticexpialidocious musical adventure is based on the beloved Disney movie and the books by P.L. Travers. Jane and Michael Banks dream up a “practically perfect” nanny, Mary Poppins, who sweeps onto the scene with a spoonful of sugar and a magic carpetbag. Why he chose it: “I remember waiting in line outside the Fox Theatre on Main Street in 1964 to see the movie that took the country by storm, and then showing it to my son 35 years later. Almost everyone has been touched by the movie – this musical brings that magic to life.”

Viral hits “For the Record” provides Web outlet for Upstate musicians VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR
vharris@communityjournals.com
Musicians in the Upstate looking to publicize their upcoming shows have a new outlet, and it’s thanks to both a local venue and a local musician. Wes Gilliam, talent booker for the Radio Room nightclub, has teamed with Robert Gowan, vocalist for local band Wasted Wine, to create “For the Record,” a Web series dedicated to covering independent musicians and creative artists in the Upstate. The series’ pilot episode, which featured members of A Moment Electric, premiered on YouTube on Feb. 9, hosted by Gilliam and Gowan’s other collaborator on the project, Myles Griffin. “I originally had the idea for ‘For the Record’ a few years back when I was running my local music website WeAreTheUpstate.com, which our host, Myles, was also a part of,” Gilliam says. “We filmed an episode of it with some friends of ours, The Winter Sounds. Unfortunately after I filmed it I realized there was no way we could do the website and the series consistently, so it was abandoned.” That’s where Gowan came into the picture. “One night at a show I mentioned to Robert my idea for the series, since he had recently gotten into video and audio mastering,” Gilliam says. “And since he, Myles and I are all good friends, it was an easy alliance to form.” Gowan says he immediately saw the potential in the For the Record project. “The Web series, while more work technically, actually seemed easier than running a weekly show that re-
quired us to do a lot of talking and planning,” he says. “This is an all-in, artist-centric devotion of time, and also is only intended to run in short seasons, perhaps monthly at first.” Gowan and Gilliam share a vision for the series: raising awareness of the Upstate’s music scene in a lesser-used form. “The purpose of the show is to adapt the mission of showcasing local and regional talent in a modern context,” Gilliam says. “With print slowly dying and readapting into paid online readership models, not everyone is going to be able to read what few articles are actually written about these musicians, comedians or other artists.” “It’s our idea of spreading the vibe and creating a platform for some the tons of great Greenville artists deserving of the public eye,” Gowan adds. “We feel like there’s a great scene here that just doesn’t get the attention it deserves. We wanted to do something that allows people a chance to get to know artists more intimately, while also covering some of the events around town people don’t hear about in the papers.” Gowan, Gilliam and Griffin have launched a Kickstarter campaign to cover the production costs of future episodes, and Gowan says that the process of applying to be on the show is fairly wide-open. “For now there’s no defined application process,” he says. “We’ve just been picking bands we know that have releases coming up to help them garner some local support. I’m sure in the future we may have a website or something, but for now, we have a Facebook page. We’re also looking for comedians, artists, and filmmakers, anyone doing anything artistic really.” The pilot episode can be viewed on YouTube at bit.ly/for-the-record-pilot, or visit the For the Record Facebook page at facebook.com/fortherecordgreenville.

BRILLIANT MUSIC COMES IN MANY DIFFERENT FORMS

KEITH LOCKHART
Words can’t corral the music of Kenosha Kid
& THE BBC CONCERT ORCHESTRA
TUESDAY, APRIL 7
MIKE WHITE / CONTRIBUTING
An old quote attributed to Elvis Costello goes something like this: “Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.” It’s a quote I generally disagree with on both a personal and professional level, but when it comes to the music of Kenosha Kid – an Athens, Ga., group that will play an in-store show at Greenville’s Horizon Records on March 18 – it’s close to accurate. Are they a jazz group? Well, kind of, except that the band’s rhythm section, drummer Marlon Patton and bassist Robby Handley, flash the muscle of a WHO: Kenosha Kid, featuring the Horns From Hell rock group as often as the agility WHERE: Horizon Records, 2 W. Stone Ave. WHEN: Sunday, March 8, 8 p.m. of a jazz combo. So are they rock? Well, maybe, INFO: 235-7922 or blog.horizonrecords.net except that guitarist and primary songwriter Dan Nettles can work just as much abstract noise as melodic riffing into his playing. So they’re a trio? Well, yes, except when they add a horn section, which they do on their new album, “Inside Voices.” What about the songs? What ideas do they convey? Well, the songs are built on Nettles’ experiences, emotions and various things that resonate with him creatively. And they’re also entirely instrumental. It makes me feel a little better that Nettles himself has trouble describing Kenosha Kid’s sound to people. “It’s been a recurring failure for me,” Nettles says. “It would be great if there were a specific genre for us to fall into. That’s helpful. But several years ago, I kind of gave up trying to define where my heart and my ears were leading me, and I just went for it. I’ve noticed that when I’m asked to describe my music, I’m often stuck, which is ironic when you’re dealing with instrumental music that doesn’t have words. It’s like words are a failure in a lot of ways.” But, Nettles adds, “The music solves that problem when you listen to it. The flip side of this question is that when someone asks me about a specific song, like, I can gush at length about that song. It’s way easier for me to talk about the specific songs and where they’re coming from than to talk about our music in its entirety.” Nettles has a lot to gush about. Kenosha Kid’s music is simply wonderful to listen to: somehow soothing, exciting, experimental and melodic all at once. The occasionally languid tempos call to mind the late, great alt-rock trio Morphine, if that group had boasted prodigy-level jazz chops. As far as the songs being instrumental, Nettles said he feels more comfortable writing music than trying to express himself lyrically. “I used to write a lot, but eventually music became the superior form of expression for me,” he said. “Because I could listen to music or play music and feel like I was connecting more deeply than trying to wrap words around it. Music is such an outlet for me that I do everything I can to have the music speak for itself.” Despite the amount of work he puts into the writing, Nettles says he leaves plenty of room for the players to improvise. “All the songs are crafted around the idea of improvisation,” he says. “I’m really fortunate to work with such strong players. They’re craftsmen; they’re artists. It’s about 50 percent written material and 50 percent improvised material, which is great, because it’s fresh for everybody. And it also allows the songs to grow and express what they need to at a show. A lot of times, the audience is part of that expression. It’s the only time that this particular group of people is going to be in this room together, and we’re all part of that experience. So it’s kind of a big deal to play music that encompasses all those concepts.” VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR

THE CLASSROOM WINDOW WITH TREVOR BARTON
Tomás is not a shadow In my classroom, there is a little boy from Honduras. He speaks Spanish – that is the language of his heart – but he is learning English and tries with all his heart to learn new words and strange phrases that will allow him to live in his new world here. He is 9 years old, with dark hair cut straight across his forehead in a wonderfully crooked line. He has deep brown eyes the color of a plowed field, eyes that sparkle like starlight at night off a pool of calm water. He has big dimples that catch teardrops when he laughs until he cries, or when he cries until the sadness in his heart subsides. He has a broad smile that is sometimes mischievous but most times full of joy. Sometimes I wonder – what is he thinking as he closes his eyes at the end of the day, or opens them at dawn? “I hope my new world will embrace me,” he thinks tenderly, “And not call me an illegal alien and not try to tear me apart from my aunt and not try to tear me apart. To not place me in the shadows, and not make me a shadow. “Mami, can you hear me in the dawn? Will my words reach you over the land, to the valley, between the mountains, to La Esperanza, to Honduras? Help me, Mami. Please. I don’t want to be a shadow, here. “There, I was a human being. I walked beside you, Mami, my hand in yours, over the alfombras, the colored sawdust carpets on the streets, color, beauty, on Viernes Santo, Good Friday, and it was good because I was with you and with people who love me. And I sat beside you, Mami, your arm around me, under the midnight fireworks, after the late-night dinner, on Nochebuena, Christmas Eve, and the colors sparkled in your eyes, and in the colorful light, I loved you, and you loved me, and I was a human being. “Here, I might become a shadow, Mami. Is there no Good Friday on people’s feet, is there no Christmas Eve in people’s eyes? Are there only people, Mami, blocking the light, with angry faces and hateful words and violent hands, trying to make me a shadow? I am afraid, Mami. Help me. I am afraid of the dark. I don’t want to be a shadow.” Is this what he is thinking? Then I don’t have to wonder, for I know this is happening as he lives his life day by day. A woman stands at the door of a clothing room. She looks at him with kind, brown eyes and smiles at him with a bright, warm smile. “Hola, mi pequeño amigo,” she says. She shows his aunt a room full of clothes, beautiful clothes, for children of all shapes and sizes. He picks out a shirt with a picture of a soccer ball on it, a pair of jeans, a pair of soccer cleats, and a warm jacket – none of them brand-new, but all of them new to him. They are clothes his family cannot afford to buy at a store. Yet here, they can pay a little money to help another family with their needs and take home clothes they need for him. He is so happy. “I wonder,” the woman asks as he and his aunt say, ‘Adios,’ “if I can write down anything you would like for me to pray about for you? This place is more than just clothes. It is a place to show love.” She listens to his aunt, and writes down their struggles and their dreams, and sees him, and knows he is not a shadow. The guidance counselor at his school calls him to her office at the end of the day. “Here is a backpack, Tomás. It is filled with food that your family can use over the weekend. It is from a group called Mission Backpack. They want to make sure you have enough to eat before you come back to school on Monday.” How could she know that sometimes his family runs out of groceries by the end of the week? How could she know that they have only rice and beans – that his aunt cooks them in the morning and they eat them for breakfast, lunch, and supper, that he closes his eyes at night and dreams of meat, that he dreams of something sweet, that he dreams of food – how could she know? She knows, and writes down his name for Mission Backpack, and sees him, with caring people sees him, and knows he is not a shadow. On a Friday, I, his teacher, am about to call out the winner of the “student of the day,” an award I give to a student who has worked hard and behaved well for the whole, whole day. I wish you could see the hope in his eyes just before I call out the winner, and the happiness when I say, “The winner is... Tomás.” That look of hope and happiness, the face of Tomás, the life of Tomás, is what I hope you see when you hear the word “immigration.” He is not a shadow to me. He is not a shadow. Trevor Barton is a reading intervention teacher at Berea Elementary School. He believes we all have stories to tell and loves to listen.
