Why I Voted Against the Roads Bill By Jason Elliot

South Carolina’s roads and bridges are crumbling, and the state House of Representatives took an important first step earlier this month to solve this safety and economic development crisis. You can follow the progress of this bill at bit.ly/H-3516. The House bill secures permanent funding sources and places a projected $550 million in new funding into an Infrastructure Trust Fund that can only be spent fixing existing roads and bridges. The new funding sources include: � Raising the gas tax by 2 cents per gallon for five years, resulting in a 10 cents per gallon increase when fully implemented. It is estimated that one-third of the gas tax will come from out-of-state drivers who use South Carolina roads. � Raising the sales tax cap on vehicles purchased in South Carolina from $300 to $500. � New South Carolina residents paying $250 to register each vehicle for the first time in our state. � Increasing vehicle registration fees by $16 (renewal is every two years). � Charging a fee of $60 every two years for hybrid vehicles. � Charging a fee of $120 every two years for electric vehicles.

The S.C. Department of Transportation (SCDOT) estimates that approximately $1 billion per year is needed to fix our over 40,000 miles of state roads. The bill provides modest reform by allowing the governor to select the SCDOT Commission with approval by the House and Senate. The commissioners would then hire the SCDOT secretary. While I commend the House leadership for their hard work in trying to solve the roads problem, I voted “no” on the current version of the bill. Here’s why: 1. Unquestionably, money is required to fix and maintain our roads and bridges. But we are squandering a great opportunity to provide real SCDOT reform as part of this process. South Carolina government needs to move into the 21st century. The appointment of SCDOT commissioners occurs through a confusing legislative process that results in blurred lines of authority and a lack of accountability. 2. The Department of Transportation should be an agency in the governor’s cabinet. As the chief executive officer of our state, the governor should have the power to appoint and the ability to remove the SCDOT secretary. The buck should stop with the governor, and he or she should be held accountable for the agency’s performance. We need to eliminate the SCDOT Commission, and I introduced a bill to accomplish this (bit.ly/H-3703). 3. South Carolina maintains over 40,000 miles of roads. Less than 7 cents per gallon of our current 16.75 cents per gallon gas tax goes directly to fix these roads. The remainder goes to DOT salaries, federal matching funds, and other state agencies. The state gas tax needs to go directly to fixing and maintaining our roads. 4. We should also protect our hardworking citizens who live paycheck to paycheck by providing those earning less than $30,000 a year with a tax credit to help offset higher gas taxes. On the Senate side, the Senate Finance Committee this week raised the proposed gas tax increase to 12 cents per gallon over 6 years and eliminated the meager reforms contained in the House bill. This bill will now come back to the House after the full Senate passes its own version of the roads plan. All this action has occurred in both houses as Gov. Henry McMaster has consistently said he is against a gas tax increase, stating that it is the “last resort.” I continue to fight to fix our roads and will work with my House colleagues, the Senate, and Gov. McMaster to finish the job of fixing our roads and creating an efficient SCDOT that is accountable to you. Jason Elliott is the state representative for District 22 and a Greenville attorney.

Fixing Our Roads: A Freshman’s Perspective By William Timmons

Featuring Ruﬀ Reporter:

Rose

Kitten Season is Coming... Spring has sprung and that can only mean one thing - KITTENS ARE COMING! Cats start to breed more when it gets warmer and litters will begin to appear soon. If you find a litter, don’t move the babies. Wait for 24 hours to see if their mom returns. The safest place for young kittens to be is with mom. She knows just how to take care of them. Once the kittens are 8 weeks old, they can be spayed or neutered. Luckily, Animal Care started the Community Cats program last year and all stray cats can be spayed or neutered for FREE at their clinic. Spread the word about this sage kitten advice. It will save lives! Despite what you might think based on stereotypes about my species, I really, really love kittens.

Everyone knows South Carolina has a major infrastructure problem. Roads and bridges in our state are in terrible condition. As your Senator, I am committed to finding solutions to fix the problem; however, it is a complex issue pitting many dissimilar interests squarely against one another. The optimal solution is a combination of different ideas that depend upon each other like a three-legged stool and would fall without all three legs firmly in place. First, we need a $1 billion dedicated annual revenue stream to repair and maintain the condition of existing state roads and bridges. This dedicated stream of revenue must be diversified and designed to last decades, not just years. But that is not as simple as it seems. In order to allow the General Assembly

to properly fix the roads and budget for the future, we need to sufficiently diversify the funding so the state is not solely dependent on just one source of revenue. A gas tax increase and at least another half-dozen other revenue streams would accomplish this goal and avoid having to deal with this kind of crisis again anytime soon. The second part is an offset to balance the gas tax increase. It is unconscionable to raise taxes when our state has had revenue surpluses for the last decade. We should reform the tax code and target the offsets toward lower- and middle-income families. Estimates project a gas tax hike costing a $100 difference per year. We must protect the families that would be hit the hardest by the gas tax increase. Thankfully, our gas tax now includes at least 30 percent of out-of-state dollars.

The last component is government reform. Our state’s governance over infrastructure dollars is a complicated system where no one person is accountable. We must take the politics out of roads and make only one person, the governor, 100 percent responsible. Businesslike efficiency and transparency in decision-making is paramount. No amount of additional road funding will fix our roads unless it is appropriately disbursed in an apolitical and efficient manner. This three-part solution will allow us to have sufficient dedicated funding and ensure these funds are spent efficiently and with transparency and accountability. The main obstacle is, as always, power and influence. Some senators benefit from controlling the existing road funding. They like having that power to influence road decisions. The optimal solution described above is not perfect for these senators because it reduces their power and influence. Currently, we have almost 20 senators (out of 44) committed to either structural reform or tax offsets. Simply increasing revenue by $900 million annually will not fix the roads in Greenville. The pressure is on the General Assembly to address this road funding and reform issue; otherwise the Legislature will have failed and the economic future of our state will be in serious jeopardy. For these reasons, I will insist on real reform these next few weeks. I will support tax offsets because it is the right thing to do, but most importantly I will do everything in my power to block a simple stand-alone tax increase. William Timmons represents District 6 in the South Carolina State Senate and is an entrepreneur and attorney in Greenville.

NEWS POLITICS

Mental health advocate Paton Blough announces run for Trey Gowdy’s seat Greenville resident and mental health advocate Paton Blough is planning to run as an independent for South Carolina’s 4th Congressional District in 2018. Blough, who campaigned for the seat in 2015, has already started collecting some of the 10,000 signatures needed to be placed on next year’s November ballot. If successful, he would run against U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy, who was reelected to a fourth term last November. Blough, 40, is the founder of Rehinge, a mental health advocacy organization. He is also a board member of the state chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness and trains police officers and first responders as a member of a crisis intervention team program. His campaign will focus on mental health and criminal justice reform. Blough became a mental health advocate after his personal experience with bipolar disorder. He previously experienced a series of manic episodes and was arrested six times and charged

twice with felonies while in jail, once for spitting on an officer and another time for threatening a public official.

seat since 1981, but this election the Democrat has at least one challenger, Republican Matt Cotner.

However, Blough has since worked with South Carolina legislators to push for better crisis intervention training for law enforcement officers. For example, the Senate recently passed a piece of legislation that will require the state’s law enforcement agencies to recertify in deescalation training every three years.

Flemming recently ran for the S.C. Senate District 7 seat, but lost to fellow Democrat Karl B. Allen. She previously ran for the post in 2012, losing as well.

“I have always wanted to run for public office since I was 5 years old. I thought my difficulties with bipolar stopped that dream from becoming a reality,” Blough said. “Now that I have essentially been an effective citizen legislator for several years to address the very issues that I dealt with, I have come to the conclusion that I could do much more for my community as a congressman.” —Andrew Moore

CITY

Banker Matt Cotner to challenge Lillian Brock Flemming Lillian Brock Flemming has held the Greenville City Council District 2

Last Friday, Cotner, a commercial banker with SunTrust, filed to run for Brock’s District 2 seat. District 2, which represents the West End of downtown and the West Side of Greenville, has historically been a largely African-American area. However, the redevelopment of homes in the West End area and now in the Village of West Greenville are both signs that the district is possibly moving away from a majority-minority district. Flemming is black and Cotner is white. Flemming is an employment recruiter and former teacher for the Greenville County School District, a Furman University grad, and a community leader. She has also been working to bring the proposed City Park to Greenville’s Southernside neighborhood, a project that will create the city’s third signature park behind Cleveland and Falls parks. A Vanderbilt University and University of South Carolina Darla Moore School of Business grad, Cotner has been involved in numerous nonprofit including the United Way, Friends of Greenville Zoo, Metropolitan Arts Council, and the March of Dimes.

“Greenville’s recent growth and success requires a new generation of leadership that’s collaborative and visionary,” says Cotner. “I bring a fresh perspective and a practical business approach to solving complex issues.” The party primaries are scheduled for June 13; Election Day is Nov. 7. Since the creation of the Liberty Bridge and Fluor Field, the West End area has become the de facto heart of downtown, a shift from NOMA Square and ONE City Plaza. The shift has brought with it new restaurants, retail, and high-rise apartments. The Village of West Greenville is in the midst of the earliest stage of revitalization. The area first began to transform as local artists set up shops in the empty businesses along Pendleton Street. The area is now home to the Village Grind coffee shop, Mac Arnold’s Blues Restaurant, the farmto-table restaurants GB&D and the Anchorage, the West Village Lofts at Brandon Mill, and Community Journals, the parent company of Greenville Journal. The Growler Haus and Neo Burrito are also moving to the neighborhood. The City of Greenville has recently announced that its free trolley service will begin servicing the Village of West Greenville, bringing more foot traffic from downtown to the arts district. —Chris Haire

NEWS Greenville seeks Shoeless Joe « statue replacement

A FUNDRAISING EVENT BENEFITING THE GOVERNOR'S SCHOOL FOR THE ARTS AND HUMANITIES

The City of Greenville’s Arts in Public Places Commission is soliciting requests for qualifications (RFQ) for designs of a 3D sculpture that will replace the Shoeless Joe Jackson statue that was previously located at the public plaza in front of Smoke on the Water in the West End. In February, the Jackson statute was moved to Fluor Field. The new sculpture will be a central feature of the West End plaza. The sculpture design and materials must have a “degree of transparency” to preserve views and daylight, and a “lighting component” must also be incorporated so that the work can be illuminated and viewed at night. The most successful designs will complement the “existing architecture and public space” around the plaza. The city is willing to consider the use of a variety of materials, including “digital, glass/acrylic, light, metal, mixed media, and interactive.” The city has set a $90,000 budget. Artists or design teams who have experience within the last eight years of executing “site-specific art commissions” with a budget that exceeds $50,000 are eligible to apply. The deadline is Thursday, April 20. Finalists will be selected in May, and the final artist selection will be in July following proposal submissions. The project installation is set for summer 2018. —Emily Pietras

tube in someone’s neck to alleviate pressure on their chest and lungs. “We had this past year two cases where a person was not able to be ventilated very well, and we had to put a tube in their neck. It’s rare to do it. Period,” Fabiano says. “The team met with the lady afterwards because she wanted to thank them for saving her life.” Another new addition to the ﬂight team’s work is a CPR machine, named AutoPulse. As the crew ﬂies a patient with sudden cardiac arrest to the

hospital, the equipment performs continuous compression. The technology is more efficient than the usual CPR. The next step will be to use ultrasound to look for internal bleeding and collapsed lungs in trauma patients, Fabiano says. “We trained staff to use the ultrasound, and we hope to get that here in the next couple of months,” she says. The S.C. EMS Association chose Fabiano for the Medical Director of the Year award partly because of her efforts to expand the emergency transport service’s resources, but also because she pays close attention to EMS patient care. Fabiano has even studied to earn an EMT basic certification. Fabiano says she was happily surprised by the award, but is especially pleased her staff received the agency honor: “They make my job easy,” she says. “They make it easy for me to be a leader. They really do.” —Melinda Young

MUSIC

R.E.M., Panic producer pairs with Greenville musicians Athens, Ga.-based producer/engineer John Keane has worked with a host of legendary bands, including the Indigo Girls, Widespread Panic, R.E.M., Uncle Tupelo, and 10,000 Maniacs. Two Upstate musicians, singer/bassist Mark Dye and singer/guitarist Matt Fassas, recently completed sessions with him for their own projects. Dye met Keane while playing for the popular Greenville jam-band The Work. That band recorded their only studio album with him in 2005. When Dye began to write songs for a new album — this time as a solo artist — Keane was the only person he wanted to work with.

Parkinson Society hosts fundraiser in April

“I went into the studio and laid down some tracks with Johnny Mosier from Blueground Undergrass and Brad Morgan from the Drive-By Truckers,” Dye says. “Then I did five tracks with Matt Fassas and [drummer] Jason Owens.

A couple hundred people are expected to roll, walk, dance, and kickbox while raising money for the Fourth Annual Strike-Out Parkinson’s walk on April 22, 10 a.m. to noon, at Fluor Field.

As for Fassas, he was so impressed with Keane’s work that he scheduled sessions with bassist Sam Kruer and drummer Troy Jones to record 10–12 songs for his own album.

Last year, the Greenville Area Parkinson Society (GAPS) raised $38,000 at last year’s Strike-Out, but this year’s goal is $50,000, says India Martin, GAPS communications chair.

Fassas is looking at an August-September release. Dye, meanwhile, hopes to have his LP out by year’s end. Neither record has a title as of yet.

A month before the event, the donation thermometer was at $3,300 raised.

“There’s no down time with John,” Dye says with a laugh. “Once you’re in that studio, it’s on and it’s nonstop. He just keeps it rolling and keeps it smooth.”

The fundraising event will feature interactive sessions of people demonstrating kickboxing, dancing, and other forms of activity that help people with Parkinson’s improve their movement, which the disease impairs. “We want to show the positive impact exercise has on people with Parkinson’s,” Martin says. The event also will be family friendly with an open playground and face painting. Funds raised will support GAPS’ programs and

“Sam, Troy, and I all studied music together in college,” Fassas says. “And we’re used to working under intense circumstances, where you have to do everything exactly right. But working with [Keane] was as tough as any of that ever was. He’s just super-meticulous. You’ll play the same lick or verse for the 10th or 15th time and it starts to grind on you, but eventually, you get it right and it all sounds great. —Vincent Harris

The evening will showcase cuisine from five different countries. Pop-up performances of dances representing the different countries will be presented throughout the event. “We’re actually including a salsa since one country we’re showcasing is Cuba,” says Juliana Jordan, director of artistic operations and resident choreographer. “The USA focus is on a 1920s-style New York contemporary dance.”

The two announced concerts move a little further from the mainstream this year: The first show, on Friday, June 23, will feature Keller Williams, and the second show, on Aug. 25, will be a performance by The Revivalists.

Jordan says this event isn’t just a fundraiser. “It’s a calling card for people to understand who we are,” she says. “We’re stepping out more and more, and this helps people know more about who we are.”

Williams plays a one-of-a-kind blend of jazz, pop, and jam-rock, moving from instrument to instrument onstage and using a looping technology to build his songs piece by piece. He’ll create a percussion line, then sample it and repeat it so he can move to bass guitar and play a rhythm pattern, then on to guitar and vocals.

THE QUEST TO BRING BACK SOUTH CAROLINA’S ONLY NATIVE TROUT Greenville’s Gordon Anderson has hooked countless trophy fish since purchasing his first rod and tackle box in 1971. But none of them, no matter how large or exotic, compare to the beauty of the Southern Appalachian brook trout. “They are some of the most colorful fish you can catch,” said Anderson, conservation chairman of Greenville’s Mountain Bridge Trout Unlimited, an anglers group dedicated to conserving freshwater fish and their habitat. “They also live in beautiful places. The scenery and seclusion are part of the experience for me.” South Carolina’s only native trout, which can be found in the Upstate’s remote mountain streams, have earned a special place in the hearts and hooks of fisherman across the eastern United States for their colorful appearance. But the Southern Appalachian trout, which are genetically distinct from their northern brook trout relatives, has seen its numbers dwindle to dangerously low

levels. That’s why Anderson and other members at the Mountain Bridge Chapter of Trout Unlimited are working alongside the S.C. Department of Natural Resources and U.S. Forest Service to restore the fish to their original range. “It’s our job as fishermen who enjoy the sport to ensure that this species survives. It’s part of our heritage,” said Anderson.

SAVING THE BROOK TROUT The brook trout, which first arrived in the southern Appalachians about 1.8 million years ago, has historically thrived in rivers and streams stretching from Maine to Georgia. But it has been under pressure since the influx of European settlers in the 1800s. Clemson-based SCDNR fisheries biologist Dan Rankin says forest management practices in the early 1900s have fragmented habitat, increased sedimentation, and created warm stream temperatures.

The Southern Appalachian brook trout thrive in waters with low temperatures and high oxygen content. Most of South Carolina’s trout reside in high elevation headwater streams in Oconee, Pickens, and Greenville counties. Rainbow and brown trout have also hurt Southern Appalachian brook trout. The former species of fish, which are not native to the Southeast, were stocked in South Carolina’s mountain streams in the 1900s to provide more fish for anglers. Now they outcompete the state’s native brook trout for food, according to Rankin. Also, acid rain has decimated South Carolina’s native brook trout. Pollutants, including sulfates and ammonia, work their way into soils near streams and wash into waterways when it rains, stressing fish and leaving some unable to reproduce. The Southern Appalachian brook trout have been eliminated from 55 percent of their historic habitat in South Carolina and Georgia, and populations are greatly re-

duced in another 25 percent of habitat that formerly supported brook trout, according to an assessment by Trout Unlimited.

ONE STREAM AT A TIME Fortunately, the Southern Appalachian trout’s decline hasn’t gone unnoticed. SCDNR is working with federal agencies and private conservation groups, including Trout Unlimited, to restore the fish through the Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture, which was intended to assess brook trout populations, identify healthy breeding populations, and develop strategies for the protection of remaining viable populations. “The population hit such a low level in the 1990s that we thought we were going to slowly lose what remaining brook trout we had left. We were down to 10 or so viable populations,” Rankin said. “But there was a big push for us to restore the state’s streams so they would support the fish. So we did.”

03.31.2017 | GREENVILLE JOURNAL | 13

COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM In South Carolina, biologists have restored more than 10 streams, totaling 26 stream miles, for Southern Appalachian brook trout since 2005. The state now has about 59 miles of stream where brook trout are the only trout present. Strategies to improve brook trout streams include removing rainbow and brown trout from designated sections of streams, building bottomless arches to replace culverts, and using limestone sand to neutralize the effects of acid rain. “Some streams are much more secure. But there’s still a lot of opportunity and a long way to go. We’d really like to restore some more streams that lead into more fishable populations,” Rankin said. But as SCDNR continues to grapple with budget struggles, collaboration with private groups and individuals plays an ever more important role in their ability to accomplish conservation missions. For instance, Greenville’s Mountain Bridge Chapter of Trout Unlimited and Clemson’s Chattooga River Chapter of Trout Unlimited have worked alongside Rankin since 2009 to restore the Southern Appalachian brook trout in four mountain streams in the Jocassee Gorges. That includes Howard Creek in Oconee County.

A TEAM EFFORT

2 miles of habitat for Southern Appalachian brook trout to hide, rest, and search for food. The Chattooga River Chapter then donated $10,000 to SCDNR for genetic screening to ensure that wild brook trout used in restoration efforts are from pure native sources and maintain sufficient genetic diversity. A northern strain of brook trout was released in South Carolina to supplement local stocks, causing alterations to native brook trout population genetics. Only four populations of genetically unaltered Southern Appalachian brook trout persist in South Carolina, according to Rankin. Trout Unlimited members and SCDNR have also replaced Howard Creek’s rainbow trout population with 200 Southern Appalachian brook trout. Now they plan to monitor the fish in the coming months to see if they spawn and hatch a thriving population. “I have faith we’ll see a healthy population at Howard Creek,” said Rankin. “It offers a unique opportunity to expand the brook trout population many miles downstream, and obtain more connectivity, more like what we had in a lot of these streams in the late 1800s. It could expand their range by another 18 miles.” —Andrew Moore

In 2015, the Mountain Bridge Chapter and SCDNR cut down trees and placed them in Howard Creek, creating more than

T HE OU T DOORS IS SUE Chip and Jackie Batson recently opened Piney Mountain Bike Lounge, a full-service bike shop and craft beer taproom. Photo by Will Crooks

BIKE LOUNGE FOSTERS MOUNTAIN BIKING COMMUNITY THROUGH BEER AND GEAR Bikes and brews, they go hand in hand. Or at least Greenville’s Chip and Jackie Batson seem to think so. The husband-and-wife duo and veteran mountain bikers recently held the grand opening for their new venture, Piney Mountain Bike Lounge, on March 18. The new full-service bike shop and craft beer taproom, which is located at 20 Piney Mountain Road, features local craft beers, a pump track with an outdoor viewing area, and an extensive inventory of mountain bikes and gear.

“We want Piney Mountain Bike Lounge to become the wheelhouse for the Upstate’s mountain biking community,” said Chip Batson. “We’ve created a space where people can hang out, buy a beer, plan weekend rides, share stories, and meet new people from the community.” In 2016, Jackie decided to quit her job at Greenville Middle School, where she taught eighth-grade math for 12 years. She then discussed her decision with Chip, who encouraged her to pursue something different. She chose mountain biking.

Piney Mountain Bike Lounge has become the “local watering hole” for nearby neighborhoods since opening, according to Chip Batson.

Both Chip and Jackie have extensive mountain biking history. Chip, who started mountain biking in 1988 with his father, has ventured to West Virginia and several other states to shred rubber across new trails. And Jackie, who started mountain biking in 1992 as a student at the University of Georgia, spends some weekends racing across trails as a member of several mountain biking teams. For years, they discussed the need for a place that mountain bikers could call home, and to get more people interested in moun-

tain biking. The duo eventually noticed an empty building off Piney Mountain Road that was directly in the path of Paris Mountain. “It started as a joke, but it had natural momentum,” Jackie said. “We had friends who wanted to be a part of it, and volunteers who wanted to help us out. It just seemed like something the community really wanted.” She added, “With the mountain biking culture, beer is often involved. We decided to combine the two.” The duo started planning their shop and purchased the building in April. With help from friends and volunteers, they spent the summer demolishing and reconstructing the building. It now features a full-service bike shop that offers brake adjustments, bolt checks, custom wheels, and more. Piney Mountain Bike Lounge also currently sells Rocky Mountain and Norco mountain bikes, which interested customers can demo on local trails before purchasing. The bar serves various local and regional craft beers, including Greenville’s Brewery 85 and Birds Fly South Ale Project, and hosts several food trucks, including Automatic Taco and Chuck Truck. But the most popular attraction at the Piney Mountain: The pump track, a looping trail of dirt mounds and curves that allows visitors to ride continuously without pedaling. “The goal is to use your upper and lower body pumping motion to maintain your speed around the track without using the pedals,” Chip said. Piney Mountain Bike Lounge, which held a soft opening in November, has attracted interest from mountain bikers and non-bikers alike. “Our shop is not just for those riding bikes. We’re becoming the local watering hole for nearby neighborhoods, and kids are coming out to enjoy the pump track,” Jackie said. “It’s exactly what we hoped for.” Now the duo is thinking about the shop’s future. “We’re trying to get our feet under us at this point, but we’ve got some ideas circulating around,” Jackie said. “We’ve talked about hosting some local mountain bike races that might be fun and quirky.” —Andrew Moore

PUPPY PARKS: WHERE TO TAKE YOUR DOG

WHY DON’T WE HAVE A DOWNTOWN DOG PARK? As the influx of apartments and mixed-use developments continues downtown, many residents may be wondering about the absence of a specific amenity in the city’s center: a dog park. Cleveland Park was once home to Canine Corner, which closed in fall 2014 when the Conestee Park dog park opened. The decision to shut down Canine Corner was met with protests from many of the park’s regular visitors, who pleaded with City Council to keep it open. “While it was not an easy decision to close the Cleveland Park dog park, there were a number of reasons for having done so,” said Edward Kinney, senior landscape architect of the city’s parks and recreation department. Among other flaws, Canine Corner was less than an acre in size, lacked separate sections for large and small dogs, and had corner

traps in fencing that can lead to confrontations between dogs. All of those design elements go against best practices for dog parks, Kinney explained. Additionally, Canine Corner’s close proximity to the Reedy River was detrimental to the river’s water quality. “The original park was designed and constructed by a Leadership Greenville class some eight to 10 years ago, I’d guess,” Kinney said. “As I understand it, the project was not

properly vetted through the public process and the neighborhood was never really accepting of it.” Canine Corner was often a point of frustration for area residents. The city frequently received complaints about noise issues, traffic congestion on Woodland Way, and visitors illegally parking in neighborhoods due to limited parking spots. Unfortunately for downtown residents, it

doesn’t look like a replacement for Canine Corner will be planned anytime soon in the immediate area. The reason is quite simple: a lack of space. “There isn’t much room,” Kinney said. “Best practices for dog parks require at least an acre of fenced-in space, and this has not been easy to find.” When it was time to shut down Canine Corner, the city evaluated two options for a new dog park: the current location at Conestee Park and an area close to the downtown airport, which is about 3 miles from Cleveland Park. The Conestee location was chosen due to “topographical and water-quality issues” at the downtown site, Kinney said. He acknowledged that the Conestee location, which is about 7 miles from Cleveland Park, “is not ideal for downtown users” but added that Conestee’s “size and natural conditions made it a great fit.” —Emily Pietras

icnics always sound like a nice romantic idea. The checkered blanket, flawlessly prepared snackable foods, the great outdoors as a backdrop for the perfect date. A picnic is also ideal for a springtime family outing. But if you’ve ever spent hours acquiring ingredients, prepping sandwiches (that will likely be soggy by the time you eat them), and chopping veggies, you know planning such an outing can be a royal pain in the picnic basket. But it doesn’t have to be. In fact, it can be a true pleasure to create a unique al fresco dining experience that goes beyond the mediocre sandwiches and potato chips. The solution: pre-made grab-and-go items. And whether you’re looking to create a romantic date or a family fun day, you don’t have to look any further than downtown Greenville. A variety of pre-prepped entrees, artisan snacks, and unique drinks are readily available within walking distance of Main Street — Two Chefs, Caviar & Bananas, Soby’s on the Side, and Publix, to name a few. Each of the local shops we visited can provide everything you’ll need in 15 minutes or less with minimal to no prep. Just be sure you pack enough ice for your cold items and check the alcohol policy in local parks if you plan on popping some bubbly or cracking open a bottle of suds. Bon appétit.

Rosie Thompson

Growing up in a large extended family of full-figured women, Rosie Thompson found that family gatherings revolved around food and discussions about dieting. “Having a voluptuous figure is a wonderful and beautiful thing, but all I ever heard was negative talk about that,” says Rosie Thompson, a 20-yearold college student from Anderson who is in recovery from an eating disorder. “So when my body turned into my genetic makeup, it was in my brain to rag on myself about that.” For another woman, a Greenville mother of girls, there was a sickening sense of déjà vu when she realized her eldest daughter was suffering from anorexia. “I was completely unaware of the hereditary component, but my mother had an eating disorder my whole life, and I suffered from one as a young adult,” says Sarah Harrison, who is using a pseudonym to protect her daughter’s privacy. “I became healthy, but I never talked to my girls about it.” In popular perception, eating disorders most commonly affect female adolescents and young women, but the mental illness’ victims are far more wide-ranging. “I was previously in Atlanta at Emory University, and so I saw all these college-age students with eating disorders,” says Dr. J. David Moore, a clinical assistant professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioral medicine at the Greenville Health System and University of South Carolina School of Medicine Greenville. “Since moving to Greenville, I’ve been surprised at the number of eating disorders among adolescents — especially those on cross-country and track teams, but also in older women, ages 50 and above.” Moore estimates he has seen about 30 middleaged women who are recovering from eating disorders. “These are mostly women who also had issues as teenagers or young adults, but for most of them an eating disorder was not as problematic after they were married and became mothers,” he says. “But now that their children are out of the house, it seems to have resurfaced. I’m not sure I can explain why that is.” The Eating Recovery Center (ERC) of the Carolinas has seen a disproportionate number of referrals for binge eating disorder among middle-age women and younger men, says Beth Riley, executive director. Riley started working locally with people who have eating disorders 20 years ago, but she hadn’t begun seeing boys or men until recently. “Since we opened a partial hospitalization program, we are seeing more and more males, particularly male binge eaters in their midlife and a lot of adolescent boys,” she says. While the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) estimates that 20 million women nationwide suffer from a clinically significant eating disorder at some point in their lives, about 10 million men also have this. Eating disorders have a genetic link that might be tied to obsessiveness and perfectionism. They also typically have an environmental trigger. Certain sports, like cross-country, are triggers. So are unrealistic role models for beauty and brawn.

Even youth anti-obesity campaigns can be a trigger. Superhero role models for boys have a lot of muscles, and some boys who gain weight in their midsection in preparation for puberty can feel there is something wrong with their bodies, Riley notes. One man, an ERC patient from Kansas, had competed in track, baseball, football, and soccer, and was a junior Olympics qualifier. He also had a longstanding eating disorder that resulted in his coughing up blood while

out running as a college senior. “As a male, I felt pressured to have a certain body type,” says Jonathan Smith, 26. “I had this mindset of trying to get myself to a starting point where I was lean enough, and I’d body-check for abs and muscularity.” Moore’s eating disorder patients have included young men who began weight-training and fitness programs that led them to lose weight and gain muscle mass. Soon, they were abusing steroids or consuming mass quantities of protein shakes.

‘‘ If it wasn’t for givers, I wouldn’t be a mother. I wouldn’t be a wife. I wouldn’t have life.

“A kidney can only take so much protein, so a lot of these men are referred to a primary care provider or a nephrologist because why would a 25-year-old have kidney issues?” Moore says. Rosie Thompson’s negative self-talk evolved into action after a friend taught her about binging and purging. “I had an obsession with food,” Thompson says. “I always had to know when we were eating, what we were eating.”

When her mother confronted her, asking if she was okay, Thompson burst into tears and told her the truth. Even so, it took a few years before she sought help from ERC professionals. Now that she’s learned a new way to eat and live, she plans to help others. “My goal is to become a psychiatric nurse practitioner who works with adolescent patients with depression and eating disorders,” Thompson says.

See You in the Garden

with Kathy Slayter

Red Dawn

Get ready for the beginning of tomato season March 20 was the beginning of spring, but planting time in the Piedmont vegetable garden should wait at least until April 7 or two weeks beyond that. Plants respond to soil temperature, not air temperature. If 70-degree days and 50-degree nights are predicted for at least a week in a row, you will probably be OK. You want your roots to ﬂourish and establish themselves well before the long hot days of summer. The Farmer’s Almanac encourages planting in the second week of April with the full moon waning.

example, a Cherokee Purple heirloom is an indeterminate. Indeterminate heirlooms grow vertically, up to 6 feet tall. Plant them at least 3 feet apart and keep the rows 4 feet apart. This also requires proper caging. I use “hog wire,” cut to a width of at least 4 feet and secured with zip ties, to make a circle and set over my heirlooms.

Your homegrown tomato seedlings that have wellestablished roots and strong growth should be in the “hardening off ” process by now and can be fertilized with a light dilution of fish emulsion.

As the season turns from spring to summer, I encourage you to track not only with your eyes and your labor the movement of the season. Sit and listen in your garden to the sounds of the birds, the arrival of the insects and bees; sense the fragrances of the garden, the intense shift in the temperature and sun. Watch the night sky as it passes over your house and the cycles

of the moon. Muse about how you might name each full moon that governs our months here in the Piedmont. It can be unique to you and your families as so many ancient cultures have done since the beginning of time. Those things I notice are what shape my mind. These are the markers of our lives. This is the passage of time. See you in the garden.

BRAVO

MAC has a record year supporting the local arts community CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

If Greenville’s Metropolitan Arts Council were a singer, reviewers would have noted that the nonprofit hit all the high notes in 2016. Last year, MAC, which provides support for Greenville’s arts organizations and artists, set a record for grant funding. MAC distributed $435,663 for 78 projects, 17 schools, 16 artists, and 45 organizations — and they raised $1.76 million in cash toward

its more than $2 million budget. Furthermore, Open Studios featured 131 participating artists, combining for sales of more than $281,000 over the November event’s 18 hours, while MAC’s budget exceeded $2 million for the third consecutive years and its endowment exceeded $1 million for the first time. “Greenville’s success is our success,” said Charles Ratterree, MAC board president. “We have a very generous community.” When it comes to 2017 and beyond, MAC has set its sights even higher. “As a re-granting organization, continuing to expand re-granting opportunities speaks to our success,” said Ratterree. “We’re constantly looking for how we can increase those opportunities.” This year, MAC is working on a plan to expand its SmartARTS program, a program for schools that are committed to having the arts as part of their curriculum. SmartARTS schools are eligible for funding from MAC for arts-related supplies, field trips,

and artist residencies. Currently, 61 out of 101 Greenville County Schools have teachers certified in SmartARTS. Teachers are trained in integrating the arts into the curriculum for up to five years. So far, more than 400 teachers have been trained. Since the federal government quit funding SmartARTS in 2007, MAC has raised $1.8 million to continue and expand the program. “[SmartARTS] has been incredibly successful,” says MAC Executive Director Alan Ethridge. “There’s a reason why we’ve been able to continue the program for 10 years after federal funding ended — it’s a program that works.” In addition, MAC plans to start a facility enhancement grant program for its eight general operating support partners — Artisphere, Centre Stage, Greenville Chorale, Greenville Little Theatre, Greenville Symphony Orchestra, Peace Center, S.C. Children’s Theatre, and Warehouse Theatre. The grants, which would be up to $15,000, would be used for capital projects. “A num-

ber of our operating support partners are engaged in different stages of improving their own capacity,” Ratterree said. “The grants would provide support as they are making significant and lasting improvements to the community.” The Children’s Theatre is planning a new headquarters, while Centre Stage wants to convert a church into a facility with a second theater, rehearsal space, and classrooms. The Peace Center recently completed a capital campaign and renovation. In addition, MAC will continue to advocate for arts funding and awareness. “Arts funding is always precarious,” Ethridge said, a point exemplified by the Trump Administration’s proposed cuts to the National Endowment for the Arts and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and recent budget cuts from former S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley.

Her process is guided by improvisation as each layer evolves upon the next. Once enough layers have formed, a more intentional process begins of deciding which layers to reveal and which to conceal, until she has eliminated any unrest in the piece.

Broadway is alive and well in Greenville. “Producers are so happy with the audiences we’ve built in Greenville,” says Peace Center President and CEO Megan Riegel. “They love to come here.” That commitment is reflected in the 2017–18 Broadway season announced Tuesday night at the Peace Center. The nine-show season features the 2015 Tony Award winner for Best Musical, “Fun Home,” and the 2016 Tony Award winner for Best Revival, “The Color Purple.” Add to that blockbusters “Les Miserables” and “The Phantom of the Opera,” the sequel to the Phantom’s journey in “Love Never Dies,” the true story “On Your Feet!,” and three hit-movie adaptations (“School of Rock,” “The Bodyguard,” and “Waitress”), and it equals what Riegel calls another great season.

Gottrocks 200 Eisenhower Drive 8 p.m. | $10 Dangermuffin is one of the most innovative jam-bands on the scene right now.

Not that you need to follow any of that to enjoy the trio’s tight, funky grooves. 864-235-5519 bit.ly/2lI0eyP

“The Bodyguard,” Sept. 11–17

Based on the 1992 Whitney Houston-Kevin Costner film, this musical is about a former Secret Service agent turned bodyguard hired to protect a musical superstar from an unknown stalker. Grammy Award-nominee and R&B star Deborah Cox stars. The musical includes several Houston songs, including “Queen of the Night,” “So Emotional,” “One Moment in Time,” “Saving All My Love,” “Run to You,” “I Wanna Dance with Somebody,” and “I Will Always Love You.”

“Fun Home,” Sept. 26–Oct. 1

MUSIC

The Emotron w/ Jack Toft & Jake Xingu

Radio Room 2845 N. Pleasantburg Drive 9 p.m. $5 (over 21)/ $7 (under) If you like the experimental and the just plain weird, this is the show for you. Both The Emotron and Jake Xingu are solo performers and performance artists. What does the music sound like? It depends on if they’re doing acoustic or electronic, but either way they both write oddly compelling, off-kilter pop songs that are as catchy as they are disturbing. 864-263-7868 bit.ly/2m4fFSp

This musical is based on the bestselling graphic novel by cartoonist Alison Bechdel, a memoir that tells the story of a girl growing up in a small Pennsylvania town with a perfectionist dad who slowly realizes she’s gay and he is, too. When the College of Charleston chose “Fun Home” as its reading selection for incoming freshmen in 2013, state Rep. Garry Smith (R-Simpsonville) said the university was promoting the “gay and lesbian lifestyle” and proposed cutting $52,000 from the school’s budget, the cost of the freshman reading program. His colleagues in the General Assembly passed the bill. Bechdel and some Broadway cast members later staged the musical at CofC.

“Les Miserables,” Oct. 31–Nov. 5

Based on Victor Hugo’s 1862 novel, “Les Miserables” tells the story of ex-convict Jean Valjean as he’s trailed by police inspector

Javert. The story, set against the backdrop of the Paris uprising of 1832, is one of redemption and social justice. “Les Miserables” was last seen in the Broadway Series in 2012.

“School of Rock,” Dec. 5–10

Andrew Lloyd Webber returns to the rock roots in this musical based on the hit film that starred Jack Black. Dewey Finn is a substitute teacher and wannabe rock star who turns a bunch of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock group. The musical features an all-kids rock band.

“On Your Feet!,” Dec. 26–31

“On Your Feet!” takes the audience behind the music and inside the story of Emilio and Gloria Estefan. The couple came to America from Cuba and became a crossover sensation at the very top of the pop music world. But just when they thought they had it all, they almost lost everything. “People forget all the wonderful music of Gloria Estefan,” Riegel said. “When I see a production, I want my emotions to go all over the place. I want to be moved. This does that.”

“The Phantom of the Opera,” Jan. 31–Feb. 11, 2018

This reimagined staging of “The Phantom of the Opera” is grittier and more realistic than the original, but the story is largely unchanged.

“The Color Purple,” March 13–18, 2018

Based on the 1982 novel by Alice Walker, the John Doyle production follows the journey of Celie, an African-American woman in the American South from the early to mid-20th century. The revival ended its two-year Broadway run in January; one of its producers is Oprah Winfrey.

“Waitress,” May 8–13, 2018

Based on the Adrienne Shelly film, “Waitress” tells the story of Jenna, a waitress and expert pie maker who dreams of a way out of her small town and loveless marriage. A baking contest in a nearby county and the town’s new doctor may offer her a chance at a fresh start. Grammy nominee Sara Bareilles wrote the music and lyrics. “I loved that movie, and this has adorable choreography and the soundtrack is wonderful,” Riegel said.

“Love Never Dies,” June 12–17, 2018

So what happened to the Phantom after he disappeared from the Paris Opera House? In this sequel, audiences find out the Phantom has escaped to a new life in New York, among the amusement park rides and freak shows of Coney Island. Christine Daaé, the object of the Phantom’s obsession and now one of the world’s finest sopranos, is coming to perform in New York. “I purposely scheduled ‘Love Never Dies’ in the same season as ‘Phantom,’” Riegel said.

“Lying in State”

David C. Hyer’s political farce “Lying in State” is “a laugh riot,” says Sam McCalla, director of Greenville Little Theatre’s latest production. “‘Lying in State’ is full of witty one-liners, quirky characters, and outrageous situations.” A state senator shot to death in a hunting accident becomes a national hero, and among those vying for his seat are his ex-wife, his brother, his aide, and a stripper named Buttons. And, as you might expect, there is a search for a purple squirrel named Mel. The show is timely for a heated era in American politics, McCalla says. “This gives both parties a chance to laugh at politics,” he says, “and since there are no mentions of Democrats or Republicans, we don’t have to worry about laughing at ‘our candidate.’” The cast includes Elizabeth Colson, Evan Harris, Emily Grove, Kelly Wallace, Graham Shaffer, Shane Willimon, and GLT Executive Artistic Director Allen McCalla. —Jerry Salley

Bewitching Bites Paul Taylor’s ‘Book of Beasts’ playfully toys with the audience’s expectations ARIEL TURNER | STAFF

aturner@communityjournals.com

With a title like “Book of Beasts,” one would expect a dance to reflect the darkness the title connotes in the characters’ movements and in the accompanying music. The main characters, dubbed “Illuminations,” are named Phoenix, Squonk, Demon, and Deity, further reinforcing a more serious, possibly gothic imagery. But when legendary choreographer Paul Taylor is the dance’s creator, the expected is likely the opposite of reality. “It’s actually really clever and happy,” says Michael Trusnovec, a 20-year veteran of New York City’s Paul Taylor Dance Company, which will perform three dances, including “Book of Beasts,” April 4 at the Peace Center Concert Hall. The world-renowned dance company that, aside from commissioned works, performs only Taylor’s choreography, comes to Greenville shortly after the end of its annual season at Lincoln Center, featuring nightly performances from March 7–26. The music for “Book of Beasts” is a compilation of classical orchestral works transcribed for electric harpsichord — such as Saint-Saëns “The Dying Swan” and selections from Tchaikovsky’s “The Nutcracker.” Pair those regal-sounding tunes with the visual of a black fur-and-sequin-covered Demon brandishing foot-long talons while swaying his hips and posing in a provocative manner, and it becomes clear the choreographer is toying with the audience. Taylor, internationally known for his innovation in modern dance, created “Book of Beasts” in 1971, and danced all four Illuminations himself, running offstage for repeated costume changes. Despite its creation 46 years ago, the dance transcends time, says Robert Kleinendorst, who takes on the role of Demon. “Paul was moving away from formal modern dance in the ’60s,” he says, before addressing “Book of Beasts.” “It’s not meant to shock or dismay, but rather to free things up.

It takes jabs at old ballets.” Kleinendorst, who has danced with the Paul Taylor Dance Company for 17 years, says the role is physically freeing. “Demon kills everyone, but it’s fun to dance,” he says. “He’s mean, but there’s a side to it that’s sassy. It’s tongue-incheek.” Trusnovec also takes on the role of Phoenix, whose costume is covered entirely in red and gold sequins. The Phoenix movements mimic a bird. “I’m flying across the stage,” Trusnovec says. “It’s a very short solo with a lot packed in. I’m a blur of color and light.” The company will perform two other dances at the Peace Center – the majestic Robert Kleinendorst as Demon

“Cascade,” which is accompanied by the music of J.S. Bach, and the frenetic “Syzygy,” performed to the music of company musical director Don York. “Book of Beasts” will be performed between the other two. “We start with classic, then go to witty and then wildly energetic,” Trusnovec says. “If you don’t like one, maybe you’ll like the next one.”

APR. 2 Cedryl Ballou & The Zydeco Trendsetters

Dr. Mac Arnold’s Blues Restaurant 1237 Pendleton St. 8 p.m. | $10 Lake Charles, La.’s Cedryl Ballou never really had a choice about becoming a zydeco player. His stepgrandfather was the legendary Rockin’ Sidney Simien, and his father, Cedric, played bass for Sidney. “I grew up at my grandfather’s rehearsals,” Ballou says. “I would take naps on old album covers.” But Ballou and his band bring a feverish dance-hall passion to Big Easy boogie, and though he does cite giants like Sidney and Clifton Chenier as influences, he’s anxious to put his own stamp on the zydeco tradition. “I want to keep the heritage rolling but bring my unique style to the table,” he says. “I want to bring zydeco to people who haven’t heard the music. I want to make zydeco a world music, not just a New Orleansbased music.” And the best place to do that is on stage. “I love to see the smiles on the crowd’s faces when the energy hits,” he says. “It just sends a big ol’ chill down my spine. That’s what drives me and keeps me going.” —Vincent Harris

Faces Unturned, w/ Redefind & Didges Christ Super Drum

Radio Room | 2845 N. Pleasantburg Drive 9 p.m. | $5 Fountain Inn’s Faces Unturned has been playing an ultraheavy style of metal in the vein of midperiod Metallica since 2007, but they’re just as capable of switching gears into a country-tinged acoustic ballad or a mid-tempo Southern rock tune. Part of that versatility might be in the band’s unlikely roots. “Me and a buddy of mine started Faces Unturned as an acoustic music band,” says singer Travis Abrams. “But I lived in Pickens and he lived in Greenville, so it was difficult for us to get together to play.” Abrams eventually brought in second vocalist James Moorefield, guitarist Kenneth Youngblood, bassist Nick Kujawski, and drummer Ricky Whittaker, a lineup that’s remained surprisingly stable over the years. That stability is another key in the band’s sound; all five members are dedicated to avoiding a specific genre. “We’re kind of all over the place,” Abrams says. “And that’s what’s drawn people. We can play with a diverse group of bands. We can jump in with a heavy band, we’ve played with rap-rock bands, and we kind of fit in with anybody.” — Vincent Harris

Deep Dish Dixieland

As part of the Greenville County Museum of Art’s Sundays at 2: Music in the Galleries series, the retrolovin’ trio Deep Dish Dixieland will be bringing a raucous, Roaring ’20s vibe to the museum’s otherwise silent halls. Kelly Sech (vocals/clarinet/soprano sax), along with Victor Jennings (washboard, etc.) and Brad Majors (ukulele/banjo-uke), play vintage Dixieland and jazz tunes from the Tin Pan Alley era and up through the 1930s. “Dixieland appeals to such a large audience. It is great to see little kids dancing and older folks singing along,” Sech says. The group first began to come together when Sech and Jennings met in a church praise band, with Majors joining the lineup when the duo began tackling jazz standards. “We think of ourselves as the kind of band you would hear in a spirited speakeasy,” the singer adds. Deep Dish Dixieland regularly plays Brick Street Café, but this summer they’ll be at the TD Saturday Market and the Greenville Zoo. Sech adds, “Playing with Brad and Victor in Deep Dish is the bee’s knees!” —Chris Haire

Between his work with Christian rap group DC Talk and his own solo albums, Toby McKeehan, aka Toby Mac, has sold more than 10 million albums, won seven Grammys, and scored 20 hit singles on the Billboard Christian Pop charts. What’s interesting is that he’s done so with several distinctive musical styles. With DC Talk’s early albums, Mac spearheaded a fairly straightforward brand of gospel-rap. Then, with the band’s breakthrough album, “Jesus Freak,” their sound widened to include heavy guitars, rock rhythms, and pop hooks, expanding their audience significantly with crossover singles like the title track “In the Light.” On his own albums, Mac has ventured even further away from the rap stylings that got him started, adopting a synth-heavy, arena-pop sound that calls to mind bands like Coldplay, though his songs have generally remained infectiously danceable. And his crossover appeal is stronger than ever; Mac’s most recent album, “This Is Not a Test,” debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard Album chart. —Vincent Harris
