SCOOP

Amy Doyle

Do nonprofits need to change, too?

Meals on Wheels rethinks exposure Everyone went from being excited about springtime and graduations to adapting to school closures, e-learning, restaurant shutdowns and grocery shortages. Company presidents are frantically regrouping.

I am reminded of the famous quote from Charles Darwin: “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.” And change is upon us all.

WHAT IS MEALS ON WHEELS?

Meals on Wheels Greenville provides a daily delivery meal service to homebound seniors throughout Greenville County. In addition, the volunteers provide human interaction — a friendly hello — which may be the only outside contact the person has that day.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

On any given weekday, 85 volunteer drivers come to the Meals on Wheels office on Oregon Street, pick up meals and a drivers’ list, and deliver 1,500 meals and smiles all over Greenville County. The system is so fine-tuned that the entire daily routine and pickup is over at noon. As a Meals on Wheels volunteer myself, I have taken my children on routes for years. I have met a wide variety of people, from an 85-year-old married senior couple who met while part of the Parker High School band (they both played the clarinet,) to the client who was ending her battle with cancer and asked me to send her final Christmas cards.

I have also had a lot of laughs over the years. One client remarked, while looking at my son, how my “grandson was getting soooooo big.” Ahem … I think her cataracts had come back.

Since many of the homebound clients may be at risk, the delivery also provides a point of contact to ensure the senior’s safety. For instance, if a client does not answer the door, the delivery person reports back to Meals on Wheels, and a call protocol begins.

A WORLD TO EXPLORE, a vibrant community to come home to. A lifestyle that embraces true independence, friendships, culinary celebrations and the safety of community. It’s time to enjoy retirement the way it’s meant to be.

Call Us Today • (864) 606-3055

HOW HAS IT CHANGED?

Meals on Wheels staff was concerned about potential health risks of the COVID-19 virus to its senior clients. Executive Director Catriona Carlisle said she awoke in the middle of the night and thought, “We need to do a drive-thru and minimize exposure, but we cannot stop.”

Overnight, the staff regrouped, ordered $10,000 worth of trays to prepare frozen foods, made 5,000 meals in one day and were off on a new system. “This is the hardest week I have ever had at Meals on Wheels, but honestly I have seen the most kindness in volunteers,” Carlisle said.

Drivers no longer enter the building on Oregon Street but go through the drive-thru to pick up their route. They are given instructions about the “no contact” delivery system. Drivers are to knock on doors and step back at least 6 feet. Meals are hung on the door in a bag.

Delivery has changed to Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with a fresh and frozen meal for each delivery day. Gloves are now used.

HOW IS MEALS ON WHEELS GREENVILLE SUPPORTED?

Several thousand make up the army of enthusiastic delivery people.

Most of the funds to run this organization come from individual and corporate support. Less than 1% comes from a federal grant for Senior Action meals. The two largest fundraisers are the Sweetheart Ball (held in February) and the Wheels for Meals cycling fundraiser originally scheduled for April 25.

“The cycling community is so good to us,” Carlisle said.

The event is in process of being rescheduled. More to come on the Wheels announcement.

AT THE COMMONS, collaboration and

innovation forge new ways to reach customers n story & photos by WILLIAM FOX

t’s midday on a Wednesday. But the days are all blurring together now.

Day 16 of who-knows-how-many.

Most lights are off at Commons Market as lunch hour approaches. Gates are shut or partially closed. Empty chairs surround long dining tables. Wood-framed wire awnings are down and latched. It looks closed and empty.

BUT IT’S NOT. Follow the aroma of freshly roasted beans into the roasting room at Methodical Coffee. Bags of Belly Warmer, Blue Boy and Pink Lady line a worktable. Steve Naylor fills two-pound bags at a machine that makes a swooshing sound with each cascade of beans.

Zach McCutchen is out front brewing cups of coffee between running orders outside to waiting customers like Elizabeth Kabakjian. She often came to Methodical during work breaks at Dapper Ink not far away.

She still does, only now she orders ahead and picks it up out front.

Today is sunny and warm. In the distance, a construction flagman directs traffic around the backhoes ripping up Welborn Street to lay a new sewer line. Duke Energy crews bury utility lines around the corner on Hudson Street. The Commons is in the center of what will one day become Greenville’s 60-acre Unity Park.

The Commons is the dream of an imaginative group of three entrepreneurs who trained together at the Caine Halter Family YMCA — Rion Smith, co-owner and president of Outdoor Sports Marketing; Drew Parker, owner and brokerin-charge of the Parker Group; and Ray Foral, co-owner of Ridgeline Construction.

While each had their own business, they shared a common vision.

“Could we run our businesses here, and could we attract other local talent, other entrepreneurs that have grown their businesses here in Greenville and highlight them together?” they asked. “What kind of community could we create where we could speak to community engagement and healthy pursuits?”

They found that place in 40,000 square feet of raw warehouse space built along the banks of the Reedy River.

We’re doing everything we can to keep our team together. It’s a challenge right now.

-Rion Smith, president & co-owner, Outdoor Sports Marketing Sydney Taylor prepares chicken in the Methodical Coffee kitchen during lunch hour.

FROM THE COVER Soon the three moved in their companies and attracted others like Billiam Jeans, Carolina Triathlon, X Agency, Yield, Gruffy Goat, Photoelectric and Project Plus. In November 2019, Commons Market opened with Golden Brown & Delicious, Methodical Coffee, the Bake Room, Automatic Taco and Community Tap’s Trailside location.

Randy McDougald, owner of Carolina Triathlon inside The Commons, says his business is “sustaining,” as customers look for ways to get fresh air and exercise at a time they can’t go to the gym or attend spin class. “People are wanting to get outside and be active, and we’re helping them fulfill that,” he says.

The work has kept his employees busy, and McDougald says he has no plans to cut back hours for the time being “regardless of what happens.”

“We are doing takeout from next door because we know they are suffering a little bit,” he says. “So, we’re trying to do what we can to help support them during this time of need to keep their businesses going.”

Greer Quinn works at Ridgeline Construction in The Commons and says he and his co-workers are doing the same. While many in his office are working remotely from home or at job sites, he says the construction business has remained strong.

“We’re carrying on for now,” he says.

Quinn served as project manager when Commons Market was under construction last year. He’s waiting for his lunch order after walking over from his office in The Commons.

“It’s sad seeing this place through to completion back in November and now, given this time of year, anticipating the back deck being packed with people drinking beer…” says Quinn, his voice trailing off.

It’s not what the owners of The Commons were envisioning, either. Not two months after some restaurants in the Market posted their best-ever January business numbers.

GIVING MATTERS

Local nonprofits adapt relief efforts to COVID-19 reality n story by REBECCA HOWERTON | photos PROVIDED

Providing food and other basic needs for the homeless and people facing food insecurity is never easy, but Greenville’s relief agencies have always met critical needs in creative and meaningful ways.

Now the social distancing required to prevent the spread of COVID-19 has made their work more difficult, but that hasn’t lessened the need or their commitment to do their best for the people they serve.

Project Host was established in 1981 and still operates the only soup kitchen in Greenville, using donated and rescued food, vegetables from its on-site garden, and food purchased in bulk.

Besides offering a nutritious meal each day, the nonprofit operates a culinary school, bakery and food truck, providing job training opportunities while alleviating hunger.

This has pulled the rug out from under us and from what I consider our true mission. People feel isolated, cut off.”

- Deb Richardson-Moore, pastor, Triune Mercy Center The nonprofit has dramatically changed the way it serves homeless guests and funds its operations, said Paulette Dunn, chief executive officer.

Guests are no longer given a hot meal

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // APRIL 10

inside, and all portable meals are prepared by staff members, rather than the approximately 15 volunteers daily who would normally sanitize the kitchen and prepare, cook and distribute food.

Under normal operation, some bakery items are sold at a profit, and the Host Mobile food truck plans corporate stops and other for-profit events, using the funds to sustain free distribution in communities of need. These sales have been discontinued so that staff members can serve free meals in high-risk communities.

“Our annual BBQ Festival fundraiser that was scheduled in April has been canceled, and we anticipate a $40,000 loss this year as we have decided not to reschedule,” Dunn said.

Immediate needs include zip-close bags, #6 brown paper bags, bottled water and shelf-stable items such as individually wrapped crackers, snack mixes, potato chips and other items that can go into a bagged lunch.

“Financial donations would be appreciated to assist us in our efforts to continue to employ staff,” Dunn said. “Contributions will be utilized to underwrite the operating costs of the soup kitchen and food truck service for such things as utilities, equipment repair, fuel and other expenses. We are assessing our needs day-to-day, and we fully expect the need to continue to grow as other businesses close.”

Since 1989, Triune Mercy Center has served hot meals to neighbors in need.

Over time, the ministry has grown to include other services, including drug rehab, social work and pro bono legal advice. As at Project Host, Triune is serving bagged lunches in place of its usual hot meals, and its weekly food pan-

try has moved to the parking lot.

Altered food distribution is only part of what has changed, said Deb Richardson-Moore, Triune’s pastor. With all gatherings canceled, the congregation, a mix of homeless neighbors and members from across the county, is missing a key component of its ministry.

“We are different from a shelter such as the Salvation Army or Miracle Hill or an agency such as United Ministries — we are a worshiping congregation,” Richardson-Moore said. “The foremost thing we offer is community to the marginalized. The bulk of our programming is ways to connect — worship services, Sunday school, Bible study, art room, Playback Cafe, four communal meals a week. Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings. This has pulled the rug out from under us and from what I consider our true mission. People feel isolated, cut off.”

Nonetheless, Triune has pivoted to meet the new needs. Its case managers are working with people who live in motels and have lost jobs due to the coronavirus. The public can help keep these people in place

by making financial contributions to Triune, earmarked for COVID-19 relief.

Triune’s social worker, case manager and rehab counselors are still helping people access benefits and other needs.

Homeless neighbors can still collect their mail.

The church is staying in touch through livestreamed worship services, Richardson-Moore said, and community members are bringing “pop-top bags,” gallon-sized plastic bags filled with items like granola, peanut butter, crackers, bottled water and canned goods that don’t require a can opener.

“Our partner churches have been troupers, pivoting on a dime from hot meals to sandwiches,” she said. “We are stocking snacks and water in our little outdoor lending library, and the city is installing a hand-washing station in our parking lot.”

More than just a ballpark: Greenville Drive celebrates its 15th anniversary

n story by EVAN PETER SMITH | photos PROVIDED

MAJOR MILESTONES

Greenville Drive owner Craig Brown never planned on starting a second career. In fact, he hadn’t even planned on making a strategic investment at all.

After a successful career in advertising, the motivation that drove Brown to purchase the baseball team and open Fluor Field in 2006 was relatively simple.

“The purchase was really to just have some fun with it,” Brown said, looking back on the decision that would not only change the course of his life but would also reshape the fabric of Greenville itself.

Nearly 15 years after fans first streamed through the gates of Fluor Field to watch the Greenville Drive’s opening pitch, the ballpark has become a regional symbol of rebirth and growth. Serving not only as a catalyst for the development of the West End of downtown, Fluor Field has also firmly established itself as a community engagement platform as the Greenville Drive developed partnerships with local schools, businesses, arts and culture devotees, community advocacy groups and more.

“Each year we’re here, we become more aware of ways we can help the community,” Brown said. “That’s what we’ve learned the most over these 15 years—what a team can mean for everyone.”

The team began as the Capital City Bombers in Columbia before moving to Greenville in 2006 under the new name the Drive, chosen because of the automotive industry’s impact on the Upstate. Many Drive fans are sure

to know that the team name was originally intended to be the Joes to pay tribute to Greenville legend Shoeless Joe Jackson, but Minor League Baseball vetoed that name, apparently still peeved by Jackson’s alleged role in throwing the World Series in 1919.

The ballpark, located just a stroll away from Falls Park, saw a major renovation in 2017, the same year the team won a South Atlantic League Championship and a John H. Johnson President’s Award designating it the best minor league team in the nation.

But just as importantly to Brown, the ballpark has become rooted in the downtown landscape and in the community itself. To him, that’s what separates minor league baseball from the major leagues: the sense of intimacy and community. Harkening back to the textile mill teams of Greenville’s past, Brown said he hopes the park can create that same common pull that brings everyone together.

“Baseball is so much a part of the culture in this community,” Brown said.

He mentioned a term he heard a few years back, when someone referred to Fluor Field as “the front porch of Greenville.”

“Coming from the North, I wasn’t exactly sure what that meant, but I came to understand the front porch is where the family gathers, where it celebrates its victories and

comes together in times of adversity,” Brown said. “That’s exactly the kind of role we aspire to play in the community.”

If there ever was a moment that exemplifies times of adversity, the current COVID-19 pandemic would appear to check all the boxes. So far, the Drive’s 15th season remains up in the air. At one point, to add some levity to the situation, the sign outside the ballpark announcing the season’s opening night displayed instead a giant shrug emoji, as if to say, “Who knows?”

Brown said no matter what happens, the ballpark will weather the storm.

“I’ve learned in life you can only control what you can control,” he said. “We’re keeping our ear to the ground and listening to the experts and just trying to do what’s best for the community. But I can tell you we’re here for the long term, and nothing is going to change that commitment.”

THE BLOOD CONNECTION THANKS COMMUNITY FOR RAPID RESPONSE The Blood Connection asked, and the Upstate community responded in droves.

Just a few weeks ago, when the coronavirus pandemic was in its early stages, The Blood Connection saw a notable dip in blood collections. On March 8, the organization only collected 54 percent of what it needed to supply hospitals for that day.

People were being asked to stay home, blood drives were canceled and corporate donating was down due to people working from home. The result was a large deficit, and the staff knew they had to turn things around as quickly as possible.

A plea to the community led to incredible results. By March 19, collections exceeded the goal, with a 36% jump in donations from week to week. Between March 8 and March 20, the staff saw a 42% increase in the number of donors visiting mobiles and centers.

“Donors really stepped up and helped us navigate this,” says Allie Van Dyke, partnerships and media coordinator. “The community responded when we needed them to, but we need that response to continue.”

She says the people who gave in the past few weeks can’t return for two months, so new donors are very important to keep supply steady. Blood has a shelf life, with platelets used to help cancer patients only lasting five days and whole blood lasting 42 days. “We have to restock the shelves,” she says. “We have a responsibility to the community.”

In today’s socially distant world, the best way to help is to make an appointment at one of The Blood Connection’s five centers, which are being cleaned multiple times per day for every donor’s safety. Donors can go online at thebloodconnection.org and sign up for an appointment to donate in Greenville, Easley, Greenwood, Seneca or Spartanburg.

While mobile collections are still going on around the community, Van Dyke says making an appointment at a center is the best choice. “That’s where you find healthy people helping others,” she says. “If you are healthy, now is the time to give.”

It’s quick, simple and, as Van Dyke points out, safe. According to the FDA, individuals are not at risk of contracting COVID-19 through the blood donation process or via a blood transfusion, since respiratory viruses are generally not known to be transmitted by donation or transfusion.

While the coronavirus pandemic does not require extra blood at hospitals, it is important to maintain the supply for people with blood disorders, cancer

IF DONORS DECIDE TO STAY HOME, THAT’S A BIG DEAL, BECAUSE THESE HOSPITALS ARE RELYING ON US.

or other issues requiring transfusions. “If donors decide to stay home, that’s a big deal, because these hospitals are relying on us,” Van Dyke says.

Donations are needed to get through the summer, and blood drives around May will make a huge difference by shoring up supply for the upcoming months.

Van Dyke is confident that the Upstate community will continue to support this life-giving effort, just as they did last month when the situation looked dire and donors turned the situation around. “We’ve done well, but we have to be in this for the long haul, and we need the community to stay in it with us.”

CITY

Greenville businesses required to keep customers 6 feet apart n story by ANNA LEE

Get ahead of previous semester setbacks this summer!

Take a class or two

at Greenville Technical College this summer and return to campus in the fall a step ahead.

Choose from five campuses and hundreds of courses offered in traditional and online formats with condensed and full summer schedules.

Registration begins April 13.

The city of Greenville has made it illegal for businesses to allow less than 6 feet of distance between people in its latest measure to tame the fast-spreading novel coronavirus that has sickened more than 2,300 in South Carolina and 204 in Greenville County.

The City Council voted to approve an ordinance on Friday, April 2, that enforces social distancing requirements on those businesses allowed to stay open under Gov. Henry McMaster’s latest executive order, which closed barber shops and bowling alleys but allowed essential businesses to remain open. At the same time, the ordinance explicitly calls on the governor to declare a 14-day statewide “stay-at-home” order similar to those already in place in most states.

McMaster had stopped short of issuing such an order, saying at a recent news conference that South Carolina is “unique” and that what works in other states may not be the right approach for the Palmetto State.

Then at a news conference on April 6, the governor reversed his decision, saying there were too many people on the roads and in stores. The statewide stay-at-home order went into effect at 5 p.m. Tuesday, April 7.

Greenville had previously considered its own shelter-in-place ordinance but city officials believe only the governor has the power to mandate that action.

Instead, the city has attempted to slow the spread of the virus with its own set of restrictions, including closing Falls and Cleveland Parks and enforcing a nighttime curfew downtown. The new ordi-

nance, which went into effect Saturday, April 4, goes a step further by requiring businesses to: • Provide hand sanitizer or sanitizing products for employees and customers • Implement separate operation hours for the elderly and vulnerable • Make regular announcements or have signage in place to remind people to practice social distancing • Have an alternative purchasing and delivering system, such as online or phone orders and curbside pickup • Allow employees to wear protective masks and gloves While a number of businesses are doing a “fine job with social distancing,” Greenville Mayor Knox White said, “many are not,” White said he’s especially concerned about grocery stores and home improvement stores, which continue to attract large crowds despite local officials’ pleas to stay home.

Anyone who violates the ordinance is guilty of a civil infraction and faces a $100 fine. Businesses where repeat violations occur may have their occupancy permits or business licenses revoked and be declared a public nuisance.

Girl Scouts announce online cookie sales, virtual programming n story by JEANNIE PUTNAM

Girl Scouts of South Carolina-Mountains to Midlands and Girl Scouts of the USA announced the rollout of online cookie sales through the Girl Scout Cookie campaign and two virtual program series.

With the spread of COVID-19 leading to the suspension of in-person activities and events, including the Girl Scout Cookie booths, the organization rolled out the Girl Scout Cookie Care campaign as a way for consumers to order or donate cookies online.

“Girl Scouts has the unique opportunity, during this challenging time, to virtually innovate to provide fun learning opportunities, help girls keep in touch with their Girl Scout sisters and make new friends virtually,” said Girl Scouts of South Carolina-Mountains to Midlands CEO Lora Tucker. “By purchasing and donating Girl Scout Cookies the community is helping girls in our area grow leadership skills through incredible programs while also bringing some joy to our hometown heroes on the front lines of the current crisis.”

In addition to rolling out online cookie sales, the organization has launched a free national online platform called Girl Scouts at Home. This virtual program allows Girl

Scouts and nonmembers to access free, selfguided activities from the organization’s programming covering STEM, entrepreneurship and life skills Another virtual programming series is the statewide Girl Scouts Connected, which is open to all girls to work on age-specific badge work. The program begins daily at 10 a.m. At 3 p.m., girls can watch a Facebook Live video for an all-ages activity. Girls who are not Girl Scouts can sign up online to participate.

Kiden the giraffe to leave Greenville Zoo n story by ANNA LEE | photo provided by CITY OF GREENVILLE

Kiden, the Greenville Zoo’s two-year-old Masai giraffe, is moving.

Officials said Kiden will be transferred to the Oregon Zoo in Portland later this spring as part of the Masai Giraffe Species Survival Plan, a cooperative breeding program among 34 zoos accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums.

Kiden will be paired with Buttercup, the Oregon Zoo’s 5-year-old male Masai giraffe, officials said.

Zoo staff will move Kiden to a separate stall to begin preparing her for the crosscountry journey. She’ll travel to her new home in a custom trailer driven by a licensed exotic animal transporter. The trip is expected to take two to three days.

Because the Greenville Zoo is currently closed, fans can say farewell during a Facebook Live virtual goingaway party at 10 a.m. April 15. Friends

A BUSINESS THAT PUTS CUSTOMERS FIRST

When times are uncertain, it’s nice to know that local businesses are in your corner. Genco Pools and Spas has been entrenched in the Upstate community for decades, and they are making every effort to keep Greenville afloat —literally. “We are always focused on our customers,” says Todd Edwards, director of sales and marketing at Genco. “We’ve been around for over 30 years, and it takes strong customer relationships to achieve that kind of longevity in this market.”

With the unexpected arrival of COVID-19, Genco has taken steps to make sure their employees, customers and the entire Genco family are protected. “We have unique expertise in this already, and we intend to share our expertise with our customers on how to beat this virus from our little corner of the world.” Although their showroom is limited to one customer at a time during the temporary age of social distancing, Genco is working tirelessly to take orders, test water samples and continue installing state-of-the-art luxury pools and spas. Edwards says, “We are dedicated to being available to welcome new customers into our family.”

They also provide pool safety tips through their social media presence on Facebook, which includes information on how and when to treat your pool. “Safety has always been paramount in our industry, from swim safety to keeping the water safe, clean, clear and sanitary,” explains Edwards.

Many of the people at Genco have been with the company for decades, and they attest to the family atmosphere in the showroom and on the construction sites.

MILESTONE

Center for Developmental Services celebrates 20 years n story by REBECCA HOWERTON | photos PROVIDED

The cheerful therapy rooms and gathering areas of Greenville’s Center for Developmental Services have witnessed countless milestones. A medically fragile child whose parents feared she might be paralyzed learns to move, sing and delight everyone with her impish antics. Cheers ring out when a child takes first steps, tears when a baby hears his mother’s voice for the first time, squeals of delight when a child learns to pilot her own wheelchair. Families bond over their children’s shared challenges and realize they aren’t alone.

We’re proud and excited about all the milestones our kids have reached, and now we’re excited to celebrate this milestone of our own.”

-Dana McConnell, executive director, CDS

CDS brings together providers under one roof to help individuals with developmental disabilities, with services including screening, diagnosis and therapy (occupational, physical, speech); specialties like audiology, psychology, prosthetics and orthotics; and early intervention, as well as parent education, bilingual interpretation, legal aid and family support.

The center, which executive director Dana McConnell describes as unique in the United States for its range and depth of services, is celebrating 20 years of coordinated care.

“We’re proud and excited about all the milestones our kids have reached, and now we’re excited to celebrate this milestone of our own,” McConnell said.

In celebration, CDS has appointed its founder, Dr. Bill Schmidt, to its board with a special emeritus status. Schmidt, a recently retired pediatric oncologist, served in a number of roles at Prisma Health (formerly Greenville Health System), including chair of pediatrics, founding medical director and later administrator of the Children’s Hospital. The 2018 Order of the Palmetto recipient has said he considers his role in the creation of CDS one of his greatest professional accomplishments.

BIG DREAMS

In the early 1990s, Schmidt saw a need to make it easier for parents of children with disabilities to access services. Because children with diagnoses like autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome and rare genetic disorders often need help from multiple providers, coordinating their care at locations across the county became its own challenge.

“Families had to go here and there and try to have a life at the same time,” Schmidt said.

“Our idea was to have one spot where likeminded people could share secrets they had learned.”

While the need was clear, a feasible solution was not.

“When you have a need for a health service, whose responsibility is it to provide

it? Everyone agrees that developmentally challenged children need help, but nobody wants to pay for it,” Schmidt said. “How do you make the funding work to keep the mission going? I had the idea to get the community involved.”

The United Way of Greenville helped form a task force to study local resources and similar facilities in other cities, seeking an example to follow.

“When you have big dreams but don’t have any money, you spend your time planning,” Schmidt said.

The dream got a boost in 1997 when First Presbyterian Church of Greenville offered rent-free use of a former warehouse on Academy Street.

“It was full of water, full of vermin, but they said, ‘If you can fix it up, you can have it,’” Schmidt said, adding, “It was not the area that it is today.”

A $4.5 million capital campaign led by the late Dr. William R. DeLoache was launched in 1998, and the center opened its doors in 2000, serving 2,000 children in its first year.

GATEWAY TO OTHER SERVICES

No one expects to have a child with special health care needs, McConnell said, but when it happens, CDS partner Family Connection of South Carolina provides a network of support from people who truly understand the whirlwind of emotions and the journey ahead — parents who have been there.

“They will go to the NICU to see a mom who just gave birth and help navigate every stage of the process,” she said.

Another partner, Clarity, provides evaluation and treatment for speech, language, hearing, auditory processing, academic and other developmental concerns.

Doors opened; CDS served 2,000 children that first year

2016 Renovation to expand office and treatment space

KidVentures of Thrive Upstate provides weekly early-intervention learning activities in the child’s home or day care.

The South Carolina Medical-Legal Partnership, which includes Prisma Health System, Furman University and South Carolina Legal Services, assists with issues like guardianship, insurance or government assistance and other health-related legal needs.

Prisma Health Children’s Hospital offers several specialties at CDS: developmentalbehavioral psychology; Kidnetics, which provides therapeutic services; and pediatric prosthetics and orthotics. Prisma Health also operates the Wonder Center, a therapeutic day care for newborns through age 6 with medical and developmental problems who require daily nursing care.

In 2019, CDS served 9,300 children and individuals. Some come for a one-time evaluation for a speech delay or a learning difficulty, others come several times a week for years to address lifelong conditions.

McConnell said CDS’ next challenges will be addressing capacity issues, especially parking, and finding new ways to expand its services outside the physical building.

“Our plans for the future involve managing the growth in the Upstate as more children with developmental delays are identified,” she said. “We look forward to collaborating with partners to support our clients’ changing needs.”

Schmidt described the center as “a star in the crown of Greenville,” noting that businesses have relocated to the area to be near it.

“You don’t realize what it means until you have a child with special needs,” he said. “CDS will change for sure, but I hope it will always be focused on the developmental needs of children and supporting their families.”

Celebrates 20th anniversary and serves over 9,300 children per year

ith many people staying at home to help stop the spread of COVID-19, home improvement projects and spring cleaning are in full swing.

Before packing anything away for storage, identify what space is available.

Once the amount and type of storage space has been identified, buy containers that work for the space. If items are being stored in an area exposed to the elements or changes in temperature, invest in plastic containers made for long-term storage.

Consider reorganizing the kitchen by using square, not round, storage containers on the counters and shelves — they maximize space by fitting flush to the wall.

To create additional counter space, install a dish-drying rack in a cabinet above the sink. If there is space between the wall and refrigerator, use a tall, narrow pullout storage cart or rack to hold canned goods, spices and cooking oils. Inside

the fridge, install a rotating tray for easier access to condiment containers and jars.

Throughout the house, there are several ways to get the most of out of cabinet space. One way to utilize more space in cabinets would be to add tension bars to hang spray bottles on. This allows for cleaners to be easily accessible while freeing up the bottom of the cabinet for additional storage. Tension bars can also be installed vertically to help keep plates, frying pans, cookie sheets and more in line. These items can also be organized by wire racks inside the cabinets.

Another way to expand the use of cabinet space is storing water bottles and travel mugs in separate labeled dishpans or shallow bins. The person organizing may want to limit food storage containers to three or four different sizes so they can be easily nested within the cabinet or into a drawer added in the space.

REAL ESTATE

HOUSEHOLD ITEMS FOR REPURPOSING: When cleaning up counters and cabinets, explore how to repurpose household items and free up space. For example, keep K-Cups organized by storing them in an egg carton as a way to save space and still be able to read the labels, or use a paper towel rack to stack cookie cutters.

Throughout the house, magazine holders can be used in versatile ways, like storing vegetables in the kitchen, organizing shoes in the closet or stowing away hair styling items or hair care supplies.

Inside closets, use an over-the-door shoe organizer to store cords, packs of crayons and markers, small toys and more. In the pantry, this same item can be used to hold snacks, seasoning packets and other small food items.

To further organize closets, use towel bars and shower curtain rings to keep scarves in one space.

Another multi-use item is a corkboard covered in fabric. This can be used in the bedroom or bathroom to store necklaces and other loose, dangly jewelry. It can also be installed in a closet and hold small wire shelves for belts, hats, ties and other lightweight items.

WHAT IS WEEKEND WARRIOR? Weekend Warrior is a live event held

by Fell & Fair that is designed around European medieval ages from the eighth-14th centuries.

pstate native and Fell & Fair Productions CEO Zan Campbell’s love of fantasy, adventure stories, storytelling and drama can be traced back to his childhood.

“I read ferociously as a child,” Campbell said. “Anything I could get my hands on, like adventure stories, I would always read, and that was a huge part of my childhood. When I was in middle school, I was involved in school drama and theater and that sort of stuff. Even then, we would hang out with our friends and get a camera out in our backyard and make little movies. We loved watching movies like the ‘Lord of the Rings’ and [‘The Chronicles of] Narnia’ growing up, and that inspired us.”

Campbell’s love for movies and stories led him to act in student film projects but also develop an appreciation for actors who learned specific skills and abilities, such as archery or fencing, for the roles they were playing.

By the time he was in college, his interest in medieval archery began to lead him down the path to eventually creating Fell & Fair.

“In college, I decided I was going to join the Navy and pursued it through ROTC at the University of South Carolina,” Campbell said. “I was really interested in medieval archery back then. It was 12-15 years ago, and there wasn’t Etsy or readily available online

The studio outsources its chain mail production to another vendor to craft the aluminum armor, but Campbell said that the finished product is aged in-house to look like steel.

Ultimately, Campbell attributes the success of Fell & Fair to the authenticity of its work and a love of storytelling.

“We also realized that people loved the authenticity we had on Instagram because we had built a team of people who were experts in their fields,” Campbell said. “If we have a person holding a sword, that person really has training in medieval long sword fighting. We love telling stories, and we do that through building immersive aesthetics, whether that is through photography, film or live event. There is a childhood love of adventure; you know you can give a kid a stick and he’s in the backyard slaying dragons. It takes a lot more for adults to get into that same mindset, that same immersion of the story, and that’s what we try to do.”

“After everything shut down across the board, I got a lot of calls,” Frazier says.

“Some from my staff, but most of them were from musicians who lost their gigs.

So I tried to come up with an idea where I could keep them working.”

Now that, like every other restaurant, Smiley’s can only provide curbside and delivery service, delivery customers will have two options: dinner, or dinner and a show. That’s because Frazier has recruited a group of 20 or so local musicians who will not only bring your food to you but also play you a few songs when they do.

From a socially safe distance, of course.

Smiley’s has also added a caricature artist to its delivery rotation

Frazier is planning a concert series on Instagram to keep everyone moving and working and spread a little joy as well, because people are already a bit stir crazy.”

Frazier says the idea is an extension of Smiley’s dedication to the local scene.

“Obviously, we’re a music venue and we have a great love for the arts here in our community,” he says. “So I thought if I could make this work and get people excited about it, it will be great for the artists and the community as well.”

The group of musicians includes Smiley’s regulars like Charles Hedgepath, Darby Wilcox and Sam Kruer, and Frazier compares their work schedule to another popular service.

“We don’t have mandatory schedules for them,” he says, “It’s like an Uber situation; they show up and we put them to work.”

When a customer calls in an order to Smiley’s, choosing the musician-delivery option adds $10 to their tab, but the good news is that 100% of that goes to the musicians. If you feel like that’s not enough, you can always tip. Smiley’s has even added a caricature artist to the rotation who will create a caricature of you and your family — from six feet away or more.

“There’s been quite a bit of excitement about it,” Frazier says, “especially on weekends when people would typically be going out to shows. But as more and more businesses are shutting down, I think we’ll have more of a response during the week as well.”

And so far, Frazier adds, the customer feedback has been positive.

“We’re lucky enough to have musicians who can handle a lot of different types of music,” he says, “so we haven’t had anyone who’s been unhappy so far.”

2020-2021 SEASON ON SALE NOW!

Veteran Upstate rockers REdEFIND release new EP with a new singer n story by VINCENT HARRIS | photo PROVIDED

Successful lead-singer transplants in rock music are rare. Yes, Van Halen sold a lot of albums after David Lee Roth left, but many people will tell you the band was never the same.

And in a sense, Greenville’s REdEFIND is not the same band it once was now that Jordan Caparell has replaced Branden Knapp. In fact, on its new EP, “Let’s Party,” the band sounds like several different bands.

Over five tracks, the band goes from brutal, no-holds-barred modern metal (“Deadboi”) to twisted-but-catchy groove-driven hard rock (the title track) to complex, Tool-style prog-rock (“Step Up”). And through it all, Caparell doesn’t miss a beat, moving from growl to croon in a heartbeat and even throwing in some rap on the EP’s last two tracks.

His vocals fit in perfectly with the band’s multifaceted attack on “Let’s Party,” which is somewhat surprising since he’s only been with the band since last October.

“We jammed with Jordan, and we knew something special was there,” says REdEFIND’s drummer, Dustan Snow.

“We still tried out a few other people, and they were talented and solid, but they weren’t Jordan. We knew that he was going to bring something different from what Branden was doing with us.”

Even though Caparell fit in well with the band, he was a bit nervous about how he’d be perceived by their fans.

“My biggest fear coming into this was that replacing a singer completely changes the sound,” he says. “So how are people who liked REdEFIND before I joined going to look at me?”

In fact, for Caparell, the actual singing was the least intimidating part; he’s been doing that all of his life.

The untold true story of the Witches of Oz

We still tried out a few other people, and they were talented and solid, but they weren’t Jordan.”

-Dustan Snow, drummer, REdEFINED “It actually goes back to me riding around in the car with my mom,” he says, “and if I didn’t have my headphones on, I was listening to George Jones or Reba [McEntire] on the radio with my mom. I was also in the choir as a young boy, and I was in theater down in Greenwood, so there were a lot of musicals that I did.”

Interestingly enough, all the music on “Let’s Party” was recorded before Caparell joined, meaning he had five completed songs to write lyrics for.

“I loved it,” he says with a laugh. “I wish that that’s how we could record everything. I had five songs in my headphones that I could listen to at any time, find my cadence and sing along with, and all I did was bring my own lyrics to it. I just tried to match vocally what they were doing.”

Years before he officially joined the band, Jordan Caparell actually joined REdEFIND onstage one night to perform alongside their previous singer.
