OPINION
Views from your community
The South Carolina Conservation Bank stays in business By Mark Taylor and Andrea Cooper Gov. Henry McMaster recently signed into law a bill that reauthorizes the South Carolina Conservation Bank. The bill avoids a June 30, 2018, shutdown of the bank and keeps in business a program that has already provided benefits of incalculable value to our state. With South Carolina’s population now exceeding 5 million and growing at the mind-boggling rate of 177 people every day, we need the Conservation Bank now more than ever. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the Conservation Bank, you’ve probably heard of — and hopefully have visited and enjoyed — one or more of the following places in our area: Lake Conestee Nature Park, the Greenville Health System Swamp Rabbit Trail, Paris Mountain State Park, Jones Gap State Park, Nine Times Forest, and Stumphouse Mountain. These are just a few of the special places in the Upstate that have been acquired or expanded with funding from the bank. Across the entire state, the bank has been directly involved in the protection of nearly 300,000 acres at a cost to the state of only $526 per acre. While little progress was made on reauthorization last year, the General Assembly went into full gear during this year’s session. Reauthorization bills passed the House and then the Senate by overwhelming margins, and the differences in the two bills were quickly reconciled. The long campaign for reauthorization came to a successful conclusion with the governor’s signature on May 18. With no sunset provision in the new law, we should never have to fight again for reauthorization. The law, however, eliminates the deed-recording fee as the Conservation Bank’s funding source. From now on, the amount of funding for the bank will be determined in each year’s budget. Bank supporters must remain vigilant and advocate strongly for the appropriation of adequate funding for the bank. We want to thank Reps. Brian White and Mike Pitts and Sens. Nikki Setzler and Chip Campsen for their leadership and support. And thank you to the Greenville legislative delegation — every member voted in favor of reauthorization. Special kudos to the thousands of South Carolina citizens who spoke out in favor of reauthorization; your voices made the difference. We also want to recognize Greenville’s own Doug Harper, who was elected the new chair of the Conservation Bank board at the beginning of this year and played a key role in the reauthorization effort. People visit South Carolina in droves — and many end up staying here — because of our smiling faces and beautiful places. We owe it to our citizens and future generations to keep South Carolina attractive, vibrant, and special, and the Conservation Bank is one important way to do that.

ALL AFLUTTER
Roper Mountain Science Center opens for third annual Butterfly Adventure WORDS BY ANDREW MOORE Roper Mountain Science Center is once again home to hundreds of native butterflies. The science center, which provides hands-on courses for elementary and middle school students, has opened to the public for its third annual Butterfly Adventure, an exhibit that allows guests to interact with hundreds of butterflies as they flutter and soar throughout the Fred W. Symmes Tropical Rainforest. Butterfly Adventure is the only exhibit of its kind in the Upstate, making it unique for those living in and around the area, according to Michael Weeks, director of Roper Mountain Science Center. “We expect around 20,000 visitors over the next six weeks,” Weeks said. Roper Mountain Science Center’s Butterfly Adventure features more than a dozen butterfly species that are native to the Southeast. That includes monarch butterflies and South Carolina’s state butterfly, the Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, according to Weeks. The exhibit also includes several educational displays that showcase the lifespan of a butterfly, butterfly models, and more, according to Weeks. Admission to Butterfly Adventure also includes access to the Darrell W. Harrison Hall of Natural Science, which is open again after closing last year for $3 million in upgrades and improvements. Greenville County Schools paid about $2.5 million for the renovations, while the Roper Mountain Science Center Association raised about $50,000 in private donations, according to Weeks. The renovation includes structural upgrades like a new entry, windows, floors, roof, and support systems. It also includes an overhaul of the building’s Marine Lab, which now includes immersive tanks with white spotted bamboo sharks and exhibits with an expanded focus on coral reefs and the food web. The building, which was constructed in 1978, now also includes a new exhibit featuring the jaw bone of a Megalodon, a prehistoric shark that died out 1.5 million years ago, and an interactive tracker that updates the location of sharks as dots on a map. Other renovations include the overhaul of the building’s Paleontology Lab, which now includes the fossil of a velociraptor, and a replica of an Allosaurus, a large theropod dinosaur that lived 155 to 150 million years ago during the late Jurassic period. The replica is part of the science center’s upcoming Dinosaur Trail, which is set to open in 2020. The new exhibit will include more than a dozen dinosaur replicas located at field stations along the center’s nature trail, which spans more than a mile through the wooded area between the Wilkins Conference Center and Harrison Hall. Guests can also check out other exhibits, including the outdoor butterfly garden, where a variety of flora have been planted to attract and sustain butterflies and bees. They can also visit the Design Lab, Living History Farm, and Ecology Lab, which includes a honeybee hive and numerous habitats showcasing South Carolina’s geography and wildlife.

Roper Mountain Science Center’s nature trails, arboretum, tree houses, natural playgrounds, and picnic areas are also open. Guests can pack a lunch and snacks, and food and drink vendors will be on-site each Saturday.
The Butterfly Adventure exhibit, which is open through July 13, is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. But it’s closed on Mondays, Sundays, and the Fourth of July. Admission to the exhibit is $8 for adults, $7 for children 4 to 12, and free for children 3 and under. For RMSC members, admission is free. Visitors are encouraged to take advantage of membership options for both free and discounted admission to additional events held throughout the year.

Construction begins on new connector expected to cut traffic on Woodruff Road CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF
clandrum@communityjournals.com
Construction of a new connector road expected to cut traffic on Woodruff Road by more than 20 percent began Monday, June 11. The two-lane road, called the PNG Connector, will give motorists a way to get to popular destinations on Woodruff Road without having to actually get on the traffic-choked road itself. Construction is expected to be complete in spring 2019. In 2016, Piedmont Natural Gas, which has a facility behind Target, told city officials it planned to build a private road from Woodruff Industrial Lane to Verdae Boulevard to provide an alternate way to get its trucks out of its facility in an emergency without having to get on Woodruff Road. It asked the city if it wanted to make it a public road and connect it with Ketron Court and Green Heron Road.
The new road will allow motorists to take Verdae Boulevard to the PNG Connector to get to Magnolia Park, where Costco and Cabela’s are located, and the shopping centers that contain Target, Academy Sports, and Trader Joe’s. Piedmont Natural Gas provided $1,287,500 for the project. Verdae Properties, which owns undeveloped land along the proposed new road, and the Hollingsworth Fund will donate the rightof-way and contribute $312,500 for the project. The City of Greenville, Greenville County, and the Greenville County Legislative Delegation contributed $400,000 each to the project, while Magnolia Park will contribute $200,000. The project includes approximately 1 mile of roadway improvements, including the connector, the extension of two existing dead-end streets (Ketron Court and Green Heron Road) to connect to the new road with roundabout intersections, and the construction of a right-turn lane and other improvements on Woodruff Industrial Lane.

CHANGING HANDS SC DOT commissioners approve $10M to pay cities and counties to take over roads; Greenville has interest CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF
clandrum@communityjournals.com
South Carolina Department of Transportation commissioners have approved $10 million for a pilot program that would pay cities and counties to take over some roads that are currently in the state system. Greenville may be interested. Greenville’s public works department and engineers have compiled a list of state roads the city has interest in taking over, either because they are downtown, in areas that are ripe for economic development, in residential areas, or they border the city’s planned Unity Park.
At more than 41,000 miles, South Carolina’s statemaintained road system is the fourth largest in the country. Fifty-three percent of all roads in South Carolina are owned and maintained by the state. In Greenville, the state maintains major interstates and arteries such as Interstate 85 and Woodruff Road, main downtown roads, and some in residential neighborhoods. The top 10 streets on the list that city Public Works Director Mike Murphy presented to the City Council’s Committee on Development and Finance were all downtown or near bordering Unity Park. Streets on the list were North and South Hudson Street, Mayberry Street, West Broad Street, West McBee Avenue, East and West
Turning back
South Carolina wants to divest itself from some of the roads it has to maintain. Greenville may be interested in taking some off its hands. Here are the top 10 on the city’s list of roads it may be willing to take over.

Park Avenue, Atwood Street, and West and East Washington Street. McDaniel Avenue, a street into downtown from Augusta Street where residents have complained about speeding, and North Main Street were just outside the top 10. Removing the streets from state control would give the city flexibility in streetscaping and road design. Because McDaniel Avenue is a state road, the city cannot install speed humps, a traffic-calming method it has used in other areas. Mayor Knox White has said that getting approval to put parking spaces on a state-owned road downtown or rearranging parking can often take a year. He said Greenville Water System’s landscaping plan for its office building on Washington Street still isn’t complete because the state DOT says it’s not safe to plant trees in the area between the street and sidewalk, even though there are trees on the rest of the street. Under a pilot program approved by the state Transportation Commission earlier this month, the state would pay cities and counties to take over mutually agreed upon roads based on their condition and cost of maintenance over 40 years, said SC DOT Director Christy Hall. For 1 mile of a two-lane paved secondary road in good condition, the state would pay the local government $561,234. Reimbursement for a similar road in poor condition would be $847,989. Murphy told councilmembers the money would come with no strings attached, but that the city would take over ownership of the road from then on. He said he doesn’t expect the $10 million to go very far. “The sooner we get a list to them [state DOT], the better position we’ll be in to take advantage of it,” he said. “I think we will be lucky to get three roads, but more than likely two.” Hall told commissioners that Greenville, Hilton Head, and the York County area have expressed interest. She said the turnback program would be re-evaluated each year as part of the state budget process.

CASE PENDING Appeals court sides with environmental groups in local pipeline case
ANDREW MOORE | STAFF
amoore@communityjournals.com
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has once again sided with Greenvillebased nonprofit Upstate Forever and the Savannah Riverkeeper in their federal Clean Water Act lawsuit against Kinder Morgan, denying the company’s request for a rehearing in the case concerning the rupture of its Plantation Pipeline in Anderson County. “Kinder Morgan continues to try to avoid its responsibility to the citizens of Anderson County, and we are pleased that the court confirmed its earlier decision,” said Andrea Cooper, executive director of Upstate Forever. “Fossil fuel pipelines threaten waterways across the Upstate of South Carolina. We will hold companies accountable when they fail to maintain their pipelines and are responsible for ongoing pollution.” Last year, Upstate Forever and the Savannah Riverkeeper filed a lawsuit against Kinder Morgan, claiming the Houstonbased pipeline operator had violated the Clean Water Act when a rupture in the Plantation Pipeline leaked about 370,000 gallons of gasoline and petroleum products near Lewis Drive north of Belton in 2014. The suit claims the spill has seeped into two streams that flow into Broadway Lake, Lake Secession, Lake Russell, and the Savannah River. In 2017, a U.S. District Court in South Carolina dismissed the suit, which calls for Kinder Morgan to pay more than $30 million in civil penalties. The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, however, ruled in April that Upstate Forever and the Savannah Riverkeeper could proceed in federal
court with their lawsuit against Kinder Morgan. The case will now return to the U.S. District Court in South Carolina, according to Frank Holleman, a senior attorney for the Southern Environmental Law Center, the nonprofit law firm representing Upstate Forever and the Savannah Riverkeeper. “The Court of Appeals’ latest decision to deny rehearing is another win for clean water, not only for the Belton community in Anderson County but also for citizens throughout the Southeast,” he said. “Local citizens can now ask the court to require Kinder Morgan to stop the petroleum pollution of Anderson County’s waters that flow to the Savannah River.” Melissa Ruiz, director of corporate communications for Kinder Morgan, said her company disagrees with the recent decision by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and intends to “seek review by the U.S. Supreme Court.” Kinder Morgan currently submits monthly reports to the state and has spent more than $4 million for remediation and repairs, according to Ruiz. Last year, for instance, the company installed monitoring wells and recovery trenches in Browns Creek to prevent pollutants from migrating downstream. It also installed more than 40 biosparging wells at the spill site. The wells inject oxygen into the polluted groundwater and feed microorganisms that break down contaminants. Kinder Morgan has recovered more than 220,000 gallons of gasoline and excavated and disposed of more than 2,800 tons of gasoline-impacted soil offsite
since the spill was discovered in 2014, according to Ruiz. Shelley Robbins, energy and state policy director at Upstate Forever, said the company’s cleanup effort has “failed” and that more than 100,000 gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel remain in the surrounding soil, groundwater, and area streams.
“Pumping air into the wells and then bubbling the stream is not doing the job,” Robbins told the Greenville Journal earlier this year. “Unless effective additional action is taken, this spill will be polluting the river system for years to come.”
A BLOOD DONOR IS THE FIRST FIRST RESPONDER 4.5 million Americans will a need blood transfusion each year. Someone needs blood every 2 seconds.

Why there’s an Army tank in Gower Park and why it may not be there for much longer CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF
clandrum@communityjournals.com
A U.S. Army tank has been stationed between the tennis courts and the basketball courts at Greenville’s Gower Park since the 1990s, but it may not be there for much longer. The tank, which is a decommissioned M60A3, made its way to Greenville after a planning commission member saw an article in Governing magazine about surplus Army tanks being used for artificial reefs and suggested the city explore acquiring a tank for display in one of the city parks. Then-City Manager Aubrey Watts Jr. wrote to the South Carolina Army Reserves National Guard and the city was approved to receive a tank as long as it agreed to pay $3,893 to decommission it and maintain it “so that its appearance and use will not discredit the donor.” The city agreed also that the tank would not be restored to running condition or driven under any circumstance. Paul Ellis, who was the city’s parks and recreation director at the time of the donation, said the city decided to put the tank in Gower Park because there was level land on which a concrete pad could be poured. The city did not want to put the tank in Cleveland Park because that park had already had a military presence with the Rudolf Anderson Jr. memorial and F-86 Sabre jet. Now, the Major Rudolf Anderson Jr. American Legion Post 214 wants to take ownership of the tank and relocate it to its Cecil D. Buchanan Military History Museum on Wade Hampton Boulevard. “The M60 [is a] symbol of strength of the U.S. We want to put it where it will be seen by more people,” said Peter Butchart, director of the museum.
“It will be honored instead of just being a jungle gym,” Councilman Russell Stall said. The Cecil D. Buchanan Military History Museum was originally founded by Buchanan at the American Legion Post 3 in Greenville and was subsequently moved to Post 214 in Taylors in 2017. The museum houses military artifacts from the American Revolutionary War through the Gulf Wars. Greenville City Manager John Castile said the city will explore what it would take to transfer the tank to the American Legion, but said because the tank has been a part of Gower for a long time, the city would have discussions with the neighborhood before any decision is made. The M60 Patton series was named after Gen. George S. Patton and made by Chrysler at the Detroit arsenal from 1960 to 1963. The tank used a four-man crew and had a range of 350 miles. It has a combat weight of 102,000 pounds. The first M60s served in Europe to offset the Russian t-54 tanks during the Cold War. It also served in Vietnam and Desert Storm. A total of 2,205 were built. By the 1990s, the M60 Patton battle tanks were primarily found in U.S. Reserve and National Guard units.

Guild of the Greenville Symphony presents check to Greenville Symphony Association
State Treasurer Curtis Loftis presents South Carolina family with $529 PalmettoBaby Grant
The Guild of the Greenville Symphony presented a check for $100,000 to the Greenville Symphony Association. The funds were raised during the 2017-2018 season. The check was received on behalf of the GSA by Maestro Edvard Tchivzhel, Julie Fish, executive director of the GSO, and Tom Strange, outgoing president of the GSA board, and presented by Betsy Cates, outgoing president of the Guild.
Holly and Joseph Goshorn from Greer welcomed their third child, Maxwell, at Patewood Memorial Hospital on May 29. Just a few hours later, the family was greeted by State Treasurer Curtis Loftis with a gift for baby Maxwell, a privately funded $529 Future Scholar PalmettoBaby Grant. The newborn’s arrival on National 529 Day enabled the family to qualify for the Future Scholar PalmettoBaby Grant Program. The sixth annual PalmettoBaby Grant Program celebrates National 529 Day and promotes college savings. Through the program, all babies born in South Carolina on May 29 are designated as PalmettoBabies and are eligible to apply for a $529 grant when their families enroll in a Future Scholar college savings plan by Aug. 31, 2018. The PalmettoBaby Grant Program is held on May 29 (5/29) in recognition of National 529 College Savings Day. National 529 Day is named for the section in the Internal Revenue Code that created 529 plans, which include tax-advantaged savings accounts such as South Carolina’s Future Scholar 529 College Savings Plan.
NGU music partners with Kroc Center North Greenville University and Greenville’s Kroc Center will partner this fall to offer a string program for grade-school children. The project will introduce string instruments to children and also afford NGU music major undergraduates to have hands-on teaching experiences and address the nationwide string teacher shortage. The program will be led by master teacher Dr. Anne Matthews, a public-school strings teacher, and NGU undergraduate strings students who will teach children in the community how to read music and play a string instrument, such as the violin, viola, cello, or bass. Tuition for grade-school students will be $10 or less per week. Classes will begin meeting after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting on Sept. 4 at the Kroc Center. Currently, 40 universities and colleges nationwide participate in the National String Project Consortium. NGU/Kroc Center and the University of South Carolina are the only two in the state. The application for student participants is available online at ngu.edu/stringproject, from the Kroc Center, or by contacting string project director Dr. Michael Weaver. Enrollment applications will be accepted through Aug. 30.

Children’s Cancer Partners offers joy of summer camp to children battling cancer Children’s Cancer Partners of the Carolinas (CCP) brought several children battling cancer to summer camp and gave them a chance to enjoy the summer. CCP’s Camp Victory is in its 11th year and was held for the first time at YMCA Camp Greenville this year from June 1-3. The camp offers the full summer camp experience for the child and family, with overnight cabins, campfires, and outdoor activities including canoeing, zip lining, fishing, and seeing waterfalls. There were nearly 250 campers who represented 50 families from across
North and South Carolina. The three-day camp, designed to allow children with cancer to “just be kids” for a while, began in 2007 and has grown significantly. With the move to YMCA Camp Greenville, this year the parents of children served by CCP were able to join their campers at Camp Victory. As staff and volunteers involved children in activities, licensed counselors hosted support groups for parents and guardians so they could benefit from the strength found in sharing with others who know their battle. CCP was founded in 2001 to help families in Spartanburg County and now helps families throughout the Carolinas. FESTIVAL

The art of shibori and cyanotype feels fresh for summer Words by Beth Ables | Photos by Jessica Barley
What makes the combination of blue and white so appealing in decor? From Blue Willow platters to French Toile to classic Seersucker, the color scheme of blue paired with white continues to anchor spaces in classic and refreshing ways. But modern tastes or even our tried-and-true classics could use a dose of the organic lines found in the current trend of shibori fabric, also known as dipped-dyed indigo. This isn’t your summer camp tie dye project; the ancient art is less about the kitsch and more about the chic. It’s popping up in high-end design for its graphic two-toned styling which works in a variety of spaces, living rooms to bedrooms, porches to dinner tables. Pairing a shibori throw with framed cyanotypes (sun-exposed photographs) is a match made in blue and white heaven. The effect is simple and instant, creating a calming, natural element in the home. And, it just so happens to be an easy and satisfying DIY project.

Shibori
Cyanotype Shibori Style combining traditional elements with the monochromatic tie dye style of shibori is a contemporary surprise and an easy way to update a space for a new season
Since indigo is such a natural element with uneven colors and lines, it pairs with other organic elements: jute rugs and baskets, indoor plants, rattan and bamboo furniture. But it can also make an interesting counterpoint in a more formal environment: as a pop of color on a tufted linen sofa in a neutral living room or mixing a shibori pillow within a collection of silk pillows on a bed or in a sunroom can add sophisticated styling.
the ancient Japanese technique of folding, binding or tying fabric and dyeing it with indigo
a photographic printing process producing a cyan-blue print
Indigo has been used for dyeing cloth for in various cultures for centuries. Because it is a natural, plant-based dye, indigo typically needs to be heated to become water-soluble. However, purchasing a kit provides you with prepared dye and fixatives, which can take the guesswork out of your project. In general terms, you’ll mix four gallons of warm water with the dye along with a reduction agent. Cover the container and wait at least twenty minutes or up to an hour.
Employing the same chemicals used in architectural blueprints, you can create blue and white art pieces utilizing found elements, sunshine and water. It’s simple, but with magical results.
You’ll need: Rubber gloves (most kits come with a single pair, but you will definitely want more) 5 gallon plastic bucket with a lid Stir stick long enough to stir to the bottom of the container A plastic drop cloth to place your fabric on while it oxidizes Line to dry larger items To prep your fabric to dye, you may use accordion folds, which will produce a fluid grid design or you may choose to simply dip dye your piece to form a gradient. Using 100% cotton is your best bet, but silk works beautifully too. Soak the folded cloth in water and then wring it out. After prepping your fabric, remove the foam-- known as the “flower”-from the top of the liquid. You may be surprised to see that the liquid dye is a clear yellow or yellow/green. Don’t worry, that’s exactly what it should look like. The deep blue indigo color appears as the air oxidizes with the dye in the fibers. Dip your fabric, holding it under the surface for around 10 seconds, making sure the fabric can move freely around the dye vat. It will continue to oxidize as it dries. The blue will intensify and the dye will bleed a bit more into the fabric. Unfolding a dye project to hang on the line is a satisfying surprise.
For complete SAIL results, photos, and rankings, go to GreenvilleJournal.com/SAIL
You’ll need: Pre-treated cyanotype or “sun print” paper Cold water with a few drops of lemon juice added (this intensifies the blue) Paper towels for drying Natural objects (flatter items work best) A sunny spot but even an overcast day will work nicely Think through the layout of a finished piece and then remove a piece of treated paper, avoiding direct sun exposure until the last minute. Arrange your objects as desired. Place a piece of glass or acetate over top to keep objects in place and to avoid creating shadows. Wait until the blue tinted paper turns almost white and then remove the glass and objects. Rinse in cold water for a minute and allow your cyanotype to dry on a towel. The blue will darken as the image processes. Frame cyanotypes in simple frames and hang in multiples.

Homecoming Upstate native Matt Giles returns to Greenville to direct SCCT’s ‘Madagascar: A Musical Adventure’ WORDS BY SARA PEARCE
| PHOTOS BY WILL CROOKS
The South Carolina Children’s Theatre will present “Madagascar: A Musical Adventure” from June 16-24. The show, based on the Dreamworks film, will showcase the movie’s outrageous characters, including the beloved Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe, and Gloria the hippo. But the credit for bringing the show to life belongs to Matt Giles, director of SCCT’s last show of the season. Giles brings a unique perspective and twist to the film adaptation. He also made his way across the country to direct this show for SCCT. Giles is originally from Spartanburg and grew up in the Upstate. He attended Wofford College and worked with SCCT for a time after graduating. “I was first cast in their [SCCT] production of ‘Beauty and the Beast’ as Lumiere,” Giles says, “but then Betsy [Bisson, artistic/ education director at SCCT] got me on board to teach some classes and doing musical directing. I became more and more ingrained in the work that they do, right up until I moved across the country.” >>
Giles took a job in Washington at the Seattle Repertory Theatre, where he has worked for the past seven years. He is now the associate producing director. Through his time in Seattle, he has continued to be involved in youth theater, and often directs and is a teaching artist at Seattle Children’s Theatre. “Almost all of my freelance work is spent working with young people or theaters that work with young people,” Giles says. Giles’ passion for working with children and encouraging them to embrace their interests in the arts was born out of his time at SCCT. “I am very passionate about the mission of SCCT. I believe very strongly in their work and their leadership team and the difference they are trying to make in this community and the lives of young people in this community,” Giles says. “I am very passionate about theater for young audiences and working with young actors and adult actors performing for a young audience.” Giles knows that not everyone is a natural actor, but he believes that everyone is inherently an artist, in some way or another. “I genuinely believe very passionately that everybody is an artist. It doesn’t mean that everyone will make their living doing art,” Giles explains. “It is places like SCCT that dedicate their entire existence to providing students with a space to experience art, to explore their creative imagination and creative impulses, and I love that. I am very passionate about that sort of work, and it’s the kind of work that I find most fulfilling.” One of Giles’ favorite parts of working in theater is when he gets to see a child experience theater for the first time. “It’s about watching a child discover something about themselves that they haven’t experienced before,” Giles says. “I really enjoy working with young people to help them find their artistic voice, which I think we need a lot more of, not only in the Upstate but across the country.” Giles and Bisson planned for some time for Giles to direct a show at SCCT, and with some scheduling work and plane tickets, he was able to make it a reality for “Madagascar.” “We knew we wanted a musical because that’s what I like best,” Giles says, and “Madagascar” worked for everyone. Logistically, it has been challenging for Giles to direct a show from almost 3,000 miles away. Giles flew in to teach classes and encourage participation, for auditions, for the weeks leading up to the show, and of course for show week, but he admits he’s missed some of his favorite parts of directing. “The hardest part was they started rehearsing immediately after we cast the show, so I wasn’t here for the beginning of the rehearsals process,” Giles says. Due to the nature of musicals, there are lots of songs to learn and choreography to master that don’t necessarily require the director’s presence. Giles says that his biggest challenge was missing the initial weeks of collaboration. “That’s the part I geek out about the most,” he says. “Being in the room and watching it happen.”
“That was the most difficult part — not being here to help set the tone because those first few weeks are very formative for everyone in the cast,” he adds. “But I trust my creative team implicitly, but as director and sort of captain of the ship, you still want to be there to help set that tone for everybody, so that was difficult.” Giles has overcome these challenges by working closely with everyone at SCCT, and he is thrilled to offer audiences of all ages a fun, exciting journey. “The audience can expect to see a great story of friendship and a story of the sacrifices that people are willing to make for their friends, which is always an uplifting message to learn and to hear,” Giles says. “The choreography is great and wacky and insane. The costumes are gorgeous representations of animals, and there is so much humor; the actors are doing a great job handling that material and knowing where the jokes land and how they fall. I think the audience can expect a riotous, hilarious romp through the jungle.” Directing this show in his hometown has also presented another set of challenges. Greenville is different in many ways from Seattle, and Giles explains that he thinks the theater scene in Seattle is slightly more progressive. “There’s so much theater that happens in Greenville. To be the size that it is and where it is, there’s so much theater here. It’s so inspiring to see the work that happens here, but it’s just of a different taste,” Giles says. And he speaks highly of Greenville and the local theater scene. “I think that having lived in Seattle and having worked at the Seattle Children’s Theatre, I come back and am still amazed at how fortunate Greenville and this region is to have a place like SCCT, which is doing work on par or of equal quality of work that is happening in a big city like Seattle,” Giles says. Giles
adds that SCCT was a great influence on him, and on the entire Upstate. He emphasizes how lucky he is to return to the area to direct this show, and that SCCT has been a part of his career in the arts. “The work that happens at SCCT is of the highest caliber, and the people who work there are artists of the highest caliber, and the students who cross through those doors really are receiving training and experiences that they would be fortunate to get at any city in the country,” he says.

BACKSTAGE A Q&A with Furman theater arts professor Maegan Azar WORDS BY NEIL SHURLEY PHOTO BY WILL CROOKS
06.15.2018 | GREENVILLE JOURNAL | 31
COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM Maegan Azar is the associate professor of acting & directing at Furman University and is currently directing “The Tin Woman,” which opens June 19 at Centre Stage. “It’s about a woman who’s had a heart transplant who goes off to meet her donor’s family. It sounds heavy, but it’s really very funny,” Azar says. Azar moved to Greenville eight years ago along with her husband, Thomas, who is also a theater artist. As well as teaching and directing, Maegan Azar often acts in local productions at both Centre Stage and The Warehouse Theatre. The Azars also have a 1-year-old son, so we feel lucky that Maegan was able to take some time out of her schedule to talk about the Greenville theater scene.
When did you first become involved in theater, and when did you know this is something you wanted to do long-term?
What do you most enjoy about Greenville’s theater scene?
Conference as vice president of administration for the board, and I am a current board member and also past president of the South Carolina Theatre Association. And I have to say that of all those things, teaching still provides me the biggest challenges. One of the beauties of teaching is that you never know what you’re going to walk into in a classroom. Day to day, you have possibly 16 different minds, hearts, and spirits approaching material that can be very subjective, that can be emotionally challenging, that can be intellectually challenging in many different ways, so you never know what you might walk into. Which I think is very exciting and has definitely set me up so that I have greater empathy when I’m approaching a role, and when I’m working with constituents as an administrator or as an advocate for theater artists.
One of the things I most enjoy is the ability to see an actor in a show at Greenville Little Theatre and then see them in a show at South Carolina Children’s Theatre and then see them in a show at Centre Stage and then see them in a show at Warehouse, and see what happens to that actor as they progress. I find that the more work I do, the more I am inspired by the collaboration in the room. I like to work with people who are excited to tell a new story, and you can really tell when you see people in various places that they are just dying to get up there and tell a really good story. You can see it. Some of us work primarily at one theater or another and that’s fine, because we all have our different passions and interests, but sometimes it’s really fun to see those people that work everywhere and see how different the experience can be, no matter what theater you’re in.
What has been your most enjoyable I was in my first show when I was 9. I role and why?
was an orphan in the musical “Annie” — it seems so cliché, but it’s true! I was very fortunate because my father was the principal of a high school when I was growing up, and that was how I was in “Annie.” And I was in a couple of other shows where they needed kids, prior to my getting into high school. I also did community theater and theater camps growing up, and I was very involved in my high school theater program. But I was also an athlete, so I sort of straddled both those words. When I got into undergraduate, I went to East Tennessee State University on an academic scholarship and played on the NCAA volleyball team. I auditioned for a show and I was cast in “Godspell,” and I thought, hmm, I really like these people, they feel like my people. Theater programs are always so inviting and accepting, and I think that’s one of the beauties of having a theater community. Everyone’s welcome and the diversity of ideas and opinions are so instrumental to the developing mind. So I quickly realized I should not be a biology major, and after two years playing volleyball, I realized I’m not going to be able to do this for the rest of my life, so I changed my major to theater and I went full in.
What has been your most challenging role and why? I sort of practice what I preach to my students, in regards to my career. Furman is a liberal arts institution and is set up as a generalist program, meaning students cross-train in all the different elements of theater. And I do that with my own career as an actor, director, and teacher, but I’m also involved in the Southeastern Theatre
A couple of years ago, I played a character called Lanie in “Two Rooms” over at Centre Stage, as part of their Fringe Series. So, it’s interesting how your personal life and your professional life can kind of coincide, right? In that story, Lanie’s husband has been captured and is being held as a political prisoner and my husband — though not captured — was away in graduate school at the time. I’m clearly not going through what Lanie is going through — but, it was kind of hard to devoid myself of the fact that I was on my own quite a bit while Thomas was away. I was working with Matt Reece and Kerrie Seymour, and the three of us have worked together on several projects, so we have a very safe working atmosphere and being able to take emotional risks was allowed and comfortable. And it was the first time any of us had worked with Kent Brown, who can really push actors in a very logical, productive way, in that he separates himself from the emotional element of directing and allows the actor to explore that on their own. So being able to be in that environment where I knew I could take those risks with really challenging material was extraordinarily special.
What’s your favorite play? I’m not one of those people who’s drawn to one specific style of theater. I love shows that really bend form and the way stories are told — in circular ways or backward flashbacks. And I have a background in physical theater, so I’m drawn to stories that can be told in more physical ways. We don’t really get to see a lot of that in the professional theater scene in Greenville, but if you go to colleges and
universities you get to see that sort of experimental work. I love musicals, and I love shows that can transport you away from the divisiveness of the everyday world. Right now I love a good love story. So I can’t really say I have a favorite play. I am getting to direct one of my bucketlist shows in the fall. I’ve got two students who want to do a senior capstone project and they’re both very interested in pursuing musical theater when they graduate, so we’re going to do “Daddy Long Legs,” and it’s going to open in September. It’s just a small two-person musical, but I love the story because it’s about a woman who’s finding her own voice in the world and she falls in love with someone who’s supporting her in her college endeavors, and it’s, like, thank goodness there’s still good in the world!
Which theater artists inspire you? I try to read everything that Anne Bogart writes, that Sarah Ruhl writes, but it’s so hard to keep up. Lynn Nottage is another. But I also follow a company from the U.K. called Frantic Assembly quite closely. They are responsible for the movement work in “Curious Incident” and “Peter and the Starcatcher,” and ever since I saw the original production of “Curious” at the National in 2012, I’ve followed their work. They have this insane ability to tell stories through vibrant, raw, and honest physical theater. I just love watching what they are doing. And the work that they do with at-risk youth in London is something that truly excites me.
What is your hope for the future of theater in Greenville? As Greenville is becoming more and more of a destination for theater artists, I’m hopeful that we will start to see more and more theaters supporting artists as professionals. We have people working in this town who have seven plus years of undergraduate and graduate training, and then are continuing to train in various aspects of their field, and more and more we’re starting to see that boards recognize that and are putting their money toward having quality arts entertainment. Even audiences understand that the actors you see on stage are going from working fulltime 9-to-5 jobs, taking an hour dinner break, and then working four to five hours at rehearsal every night in order to make that show possible. Wouldn’t it be great if we could pay artists a living wage to be able to do that? I think we’re progressing. Since I’ve been here, that’s something I’ve been happy to see — dollar amounts rise for the work that’s being done. It’s important that we continue, as artists, to advocate for that.
Backstage is a recurring series that appears in the Greenville Journal’s culture section that is designed to bring the theater community and the community at-large closer together through Q&As with local actors, directors, and designers who are instrumental in shaping our performing arts scene.

NEW LINEUP Lydia Loveless steps out of comfort zone with duo setup, stripped-down set VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER
vharris@communityjournals.com
When she sings, Columbus, Ohio’s Lydia Loveless seems to be an open vein of emotion. She pours so much feeling into her vocals that at times she seems to be on the verge of breaking down. In fact, on one track (“Move Me Over”) from “Real,” her devastatingly dark breakup album from 2016, it really seems like Loveless starts to cry. Typically, those incredible vocal performances are backed onstage and on album by tough, gritty alt-country arrangements played by a full band. And they’re great to listen to, but it’s exciting to know that, when Loveless plays at The Radio Room in Greenville next Thursday, it will be as part of a duo, just two guitars and that voice. “It’s me and Todd May, who plays guitar with me,” Loveless says. “He’s been in the band for like nine years. We’ve always written together, so it’s pretty easy for us to just head out and play the songs together.” Loveless says that the duo setup is ideal for where she is in the album-tour-album cycle, with her most recent new work
about two years behind her and new songs beginning to come for her next album. “It’s just always been a really easy dynamic with Todd,” she says. “I’m working on new material right now, so it’s not always beneficial to have a full band set in the ‘in-between times.’” Actually, there could have been an even more intimate setup for some dates that Loveless had planned for last year; it was supposed to be her first-ever solo tour. But then… “I had a solo tour booked last year and I chickened out,” Loveless says with a laugh. “I was like, ‘Todd, please come with me!’” Loveless didn’t chicken out this year; she’s doing a series of solo shows leading up to her performances with May, something she said started with her “mostly just shaking with fear.” It was an intimidating step for a performer who describes herself as not just shy, but introverted and private. “It’s been scary but not super bad,” she says. “I’ve done solo shows before, but never a whole tour when I’m carrying everything onstage and I’m also doing my merch. So it’s a lot of social interaction. But mostly it’s been exhilarating. I hope it’s exciting enough for people to watch me onstage playing guitar.” Interestingly enough, there’s a fair amount of rearrangement that Loveless and May have had to do to her songs, mostly because of the way they created them in the first place. “The way it usually goes is that I write
the songs and then Todd and I will arrange them with the full band along the way,” she says. “You always have to make room for new parts when there’s no drums or bass going on. So there’s some rearrangement, but it’s not planned out. That’s what makes it fun, I guess.” Anyone who’s listened to Loveless long enough knows that she has a knack not just for songwriting, but for covering other artists’ material; the stripped-down version of Elvis Costello’s “Alison” that she put out as a B-side in 2012 (later added to a reissue of her “Boy Crazy” EP) makes a dark, lonely song even more emotional, and she’s even been able to breathe life into a pop trifle by Justin Bieber (“Sorry”) by turning it into at atmospheric acoustic ballad. So it’s good to hear that the upcoming duo show in Greenville will feature some outside material, even if Loveless isn’t sure what it will be yet. “I’ll totally be doing some covers because it’s just fun,” she says, “especially in a stripped-down kind of set.”

WORK IN PROGRESS Shovels & Rope talk new album ahead of Greenville Zoo performance
ley’s. … We played at the Radio Room and had WAY too much fun for people in their early 30s. I love Charleston, but I feel like Greenville is the other hip center with a lot of action. There’s a lot of cool people doing cool things. Plus, it’s just down the mountain from Asheville. I love it.

You’ve recently been in the studio recording your new album of original songs, but you’ve had two covers albums out in the past couple of years (“Busted Jukebox” Vols. 1 & 2) that changed up the songs a lot. Have you brought any of that experimentation back to your own songs?
This will be your sixth release; what have you learned over time about how you like to work in the studio? Cary Ann: Every time we get settled into a situation, the situation changes. This is the first time we’ve recorded in our own studio space where we’re not sharing anything with anybody else, and it’s an entirely new recording experience where we’ve got the time and the songs. It’s the best

Will we hear any of those new songs at the Zoo Tunes show? Cary Ann: We’re going to be working on a lot of our new material. We have some weekend shows over the next month, and I think this is the first time we’ve had the opportunity to work on music on the road before it gets recorded, so we can kind of play with that.

The Greenville Zoo’s PNC Bank Zoo Tunes Concert Series has spent the past few years bringing some of the biggest musical acts in the country to Greenville for small, intimate concerts that take place inside the zoo itself. In the past, the series has brought Jason Isbell, Bruce Hornsby, and The Revivalists to the Upstate, but this year’s kickoff show, which will take place on Friday, features a popular band from a little closer to home: Charleston’s Shovels & Rope. The husband-and-wife team of Cary Ann Hearst (vocals, drums) and Michael Trent (vocals, guitar) have spent most of the last decade becoming one of the best-known bands under the increasingly broad “Americana” banner, and they’re taking a break from working on their new album to perform in Greenville for the first time since their 2014 Fall For Greenville appearance. We spoke with Michael and Cary Ann recently about the show, their history in the Upstate, and their new album. Michael Trent (vocals, guitar) and Cary Ann Hearst of Shovels & Rope.

Charleston’s Almost Steve feels right at home in Greenville
Summer BBQ season is in full swing! While the obvious choice is to use the garbage disposal as a catch-all, throw the bulk of your food waste into the garbage can or compost instead to prevent clogs and damage to your disposal. Limit the garbage disposal for little scraps and rinsing off plates. You’ll save yourself time, money and frustration!
VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER

The Charleston quartet Almost Steve spent the better part of a decade, from the late 1990s to the early 2000s, touring throughout South Carolina and eventually up and down the East Coast, playing a catchy style of acoustic-electric rock. It was tonally similar to what some of their contemporaries like the Blue Dogs were doing, but Almost Steve’s music had a bit more of a ragged edge and more complexity in their rhythms. Whatever the formula, it was an effective one, and the band routinely drew crowds 300-500 strong throughout South Carolina. And they had an especially strong following in the Upstate, even naming their album “Greenvegas Super City” as a nod to Greenville. “I felt like in Greenville, we were really enjoying a fair amount of popularity,” says singer/guitarist Jeff Buchanan, who founded the band with his childhood friend, singer/guitarist Bill Johnson, and bassist Brian Buchanan (no relation). “We got together as a band in Charleston, but we got out there and toured a lot so, we’d always stop into Greenville a couple times a year. And we were seeing 3, 4, 500 people coming out to the shows back in those days. We were fortunate enough to get some people paying attention and supporting us.” Eventually, the band stopped touring and recording, for what Buchanan says is a very simple reason: “The other guys are jerks,” he says with a laugh. “That’s primarily what the problem was.” In truth, there wasn’t any one reason that Almost Steve became inactive. “There’s no one big story,” he says. “Life happened; people started going in other directions and following other pursuits. It was more of a fizzle than a big bang. All of us continued doing music in one way or another. Bill and I continued to do a lot of playing as an acoustic duo, as well as doing stuff on our own. It was just a matter of us going in different directions after doing one thing for so long.” Despite their different paths, the members of Almost Steve still worked together, either in the aforementioned acoustic duo
or in Jeff Buchanan and Brian Buchanan’s project Frozen Concrete. So, it makes sense that eventually, they decided to get back together under their old name for some new shows to commemorate the band’s 20th anniversary, one of which will be at Gottrocks in Greenville on Friday. The show will be recorded for possible future release. There is one member who unfortunately won’t be along for these shows, and that’s drummer Todd Verdin, who died unexpectedly in 2010. Brandon Gallagher, who started out as a fan of Almost Steve in his teens, will be behind the kit for the band’s shows in Charleston, Columbia, and Greenville. “I’ve got a lot of history with Brandon,” Jeff Buchanan says. “He’s a phenomenal drummer who’s in like five different bands. He was already familiar with the material because he had our CD in high school.” When the quartet decided at the end of last year to play some shows, they didn’t want to disappoint themselves or their fans, so they immediately began a rigorous rehearsal schedule that’s taken up much of the past seven months.
“We all agreed that we wanted to really get in there and spend the time and put forth the effort to rehearse and prepare the material,” Buchanan says. “And that’s what we’ve done. And it’s been a lot more enjoyable than I would’ve imagined. We wrote this music when we were very young and played it so much that it became old to us. So, when we went back and rehearsed it, I found that I liked the songs more than I thought I did.” Buchanan does have one caveat about Almost Steve’s return: Don’t call it a reunion. “I don’t like the term ‘reunion shows,’ because I don’t like the idea that we’d broken up,” he says. “We left things openended so that anything was possible.”

Adjusting to a Forever Home
When you move to a new place, it can be kind of overwhelming. There are new smells, spaces, people and animals; there’s a new routine and a different way of living that you’ve never experienced before. Not unlike when humans have to learn the streets in their new city, animals have to adjust to a new set of rules. Some of us are great with change, but others need a little help along the way. It’s only natural! When you adopt a new pet, no matter their age or breed, you should always be prepared to spend time training or with a professional trainer who can help to make the adjustment as smooth as possible. Animal Care even offers free training sessions to adopters! Just ask the staff.

CHARACTERS OF THE PAST Greenville Chautauqua has spent past two decades bringing history to life Seth Harrison had gone down to the amphitheater behind the Peace Center expecting a jazz concert. What he got was a history lesson. It was 1999, the first year of Greenville Chautauqua. “There was a guy on stage talking about being a teenager in the 1920s. I thought that if he was a teenager then, there’s no way he’d be here now,” said Harrison, who was one of a dozen or two people in the audience. “I paid attention to what he was saying.” Turns out the man he was listening to was Charles Pace, a historic interpreter who was portraying poet, novelist, and playwright Langston Hughes. The performance was one of five at the inaugural Greenville Chautauqua festival. “I wasn’t disappointed because I didn’t hear music that night,” said Harrison, who has been a volunteer with the festival ever since. This year marks the 20th year of the festival, which has “brought” icons such
as Mark Twain, Frederick Douglass, Alexander Hamilton, Abraham Lincoln, Harry Houdini, John James Audubon, Amelia Earhart, Benedict Arnold, and Walter Cronkite to Greenville. This year, Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Revolutionary War hero Francis Marion, abolitionist and political activist Harriet Tubman, American suffragist and women’s rights activist Alice Paul, and Red Cross founder Clara Barton will be brought back to life by part-actors, part-scholars in costumes. Performances are held in Greenville County, Spartanburg, and Asheville, N.C. After the actor performs a monologue,
the floor is opened to audience questions. Because of that, Chautauqua is not just an actor working from a script. The performers immerse themselves in the characters, learning them well enough not to be stumped by one of the questions. The first Chautauqua started as an adult education program for Sunday school teachers at a campsite on Chautauqua Lake in Upstate New York. Tent Chautauquas toured America, including one that regularly stopped in Greenville. Chautauqua stopped during the Great Depression. It was revived in the 1970s as a way to promote humanities education. Greenville’s Chautauqua started in 1999 after George Frein, a founding member of the National Chautauqua Tour, moved to Greenville. “It’s the people of Greenville who sustain it,” said Caroline McIntyre, Greenville Chautauqua administrator. “Greenville Chautauqua happens because people want it to happen and are willing to work to make it happen.”

SECOND CHANCES Centre Stage’s ‘The Tin Woman’ shares heartwarming story MELODY WRIGHT | CONTRIBUTOR
mwright@communityjournals.com
Based on a true story, “The Tin Woman” follows graphic designer Joy O’Malley on her search for meaning, belonging, family, and hope after receiving a second chance at life — a heart transplant. Bringing awareness to the need for more organ, eye, and tissue donors with sponsor Donate Life SC, Centre Stage will share Joy’s touching adventure on select nights this month. “This show is funny and heartwarming, a tear-jerker at times, but really a celebration of how people can overcome loss when we do it together,” director Maegan Azar says. Playing the role of Joy, Sara Tolson calls the play “inspiring, touching, and hilarious.” “‘The Tin Woman’ follows a topic that touches the lives of many, and a topic that may touch your life one day,” Tolson says. The story begins with Joy living and working in New York City with a heart condition that leads to her receiving a heart transplant and deciding to meet the donor family. “She is estranged from her family and has very few interpersonal relationships,” Tolson says of her character. “She has felt like a burden most of her life and is striving to put that behind her. She’s an artist, she struggles with self-esteem and feeling valuable, she has a short fuse, and she can be really awkward at times.” With “The Tin Woman” being her 11th production with Centre Stage, Tolson thoroughly researches her characters to bring life to the stage. For the role of Joy, she watched videos of heart transplant re-

cipients meeting their donor families, read about the surgical transplant process, and read and watched interviews from various perspectives on the process. “I’ve also looked into anti-rejection medicine and the recovery process of those who receive organ transplants, because that’s what I would do if I were actually about to receive one,” Tolson says. In addition to the transplant process, Tolson says much can be learned from this play — from cherishing people and life to finding family outside of a biological family. Azar joined Centre Stage in 2011 and has directed four shows, as well as acted in productions. She prepared for “The Tin Woman” by talking with an ICU nurse friend, interviewing the playwright, reading scholarly articles about the psychol-
ogy of the transplant process, and reading “Sick Girl” by Amy Silverstein. The most beneficial research the cast experienced was a conversation with a heart transplant recipient who’s a Donate Life SC spokesperson. The recipient shared her story to give the cast a personal perspective and show how remarkable transplants are. Azar says the more complicated story within the production is about love, family, and redemption. Parents Hank and Alice and daughter Sammy struggle with grief from the loss of their son and brother, Jack. And Joy struggles with her second chance at life. “Through the donor’s presence in the show, these people are brought together to shape a new family, to thrive through surviving this loss, and to find love in the strange twists and turns that life can lead
us through,” Azar says. The story raises awareness of the complicated process of organ transplants both emotionally and physically for all involved. Azar says she hopes the production will lead people to become organ donors. “It is easy to do, and through organ and tissue donation, one person has the chance to help upwards of 70 people,” she says. Donate Life SC media relations coordinator Mark Johnson says that with waiting lists growing fast, organ, eye, and tissue donors are life donors. “Currently, there are approximately 115,000 people nationwide in need of an organ transplant, and approximately 1,000 of them are in South Carolina,” he says. “On average, one person is added to the nation’s organ transplant waiting list every 10 minutes. Unfortunately, 20 people a day die waiting on a lifesaving organ transplant in the United States.” Audience members can talk to volunteers with Donate Life SC who are transplant recipients and donor family members after the performances. Donate Life SC will have a booth for people to learn more about donation and register to be an organ, eye, and tissue donor. “We encourage everyone to make their decision to be an organ, eye, and tissue donor known by signing up on the state’s donor registry at the S.C. Department of Motor Vehicles, at DonateLifeSC.org, or through the iPhone Health app medical tab,” Johnson says.

Kava is the ‘anti-caffeine’ WORDS BY ARIEL TURNER
| PHOTOS BY WILL CROOKS
If you walked into a bar and saw dozens of people playing board games, jamming on guitars, and periodically cheersing a round of shots, you’d be safe to assume most of those partaking shouldn’t be driving home at the end of the night. But not at The Kava Konnection, where you’d find all of those activities going on any night the bar is open and also see all of the customers leave completely sober at 2 a.m. The difference is, The Kava Konnection serves only nonalcoholic beverages. So what’s the deal with the shots? They’re a cloudy brown drink called kava, made from the root of the South Pacific Piper methysticum plant. “Think of it as the anti-caffeine,” the bar’s co-owner Gabriel Coggins says. “It’s not going to be impairing. It’s extremely socializing.” Kava, which means “bitter,” has been used by South Pacific islanders for centuries as a calming drink. Coggins discovered it in pill form at a local health food store when he was looking for a nonprescription means of curbing his anxiety and helping him sleep. A former drug and alcohol user who has been sober for several years, Coggins also discovered the social aspect of drinking kava in Asheville, N.C., to be much like the bar scene he used to enjoy but without the impairment. That discovery led him to open The Kava Konnection in September 2015, and it remains the only kava bar in South Carolina. Kava is a complex beverage. Certain cultivars, or varieties, of kava lessen any hindering social inhibitions, much the way “liquid courage” does, but without the potentially nega-
tive side effects. There are also specific cultivars that have a stronger sedating and calming effect that are used just prior to bed or for muscle recovery after strenuous workouts. And contrary to the tolerance built up by repeated alcohol use, kava users require less and less kava to achieve the desired effect the more often they drink it.
But, since it’s literally a foreign concept and has an earthier flavor than the average American is used to drinking, there’s a bit of an introduction that’s necessary. Thankfully, the kava-tenders at The Kava Konnection are prepared with a persuasive and informative elevator pitch, during which they’ll also tell you that kava has a slight mouth-numbing

Follow @thesoutherngrowl on Instagram for more details. Meredith Leigh, the award-winning author of “The Ethical Meat Handbook,” and the new book “Pure Charcuterie,” has partnered with the Swamp Rabbit Café and Grocery to bring a two-day intensive class on do-it-yourself meat curing that is accessible to all. The class will be held July 14-15, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. daily. In the two-day class, students will learn to confidently cure meats via salt, smoke, dehydration, and fermentation. Leigh will begin with a half hog, and along with the class members will spend the two days producing a diverse array of charcuterie recipes. Participants will take home copies of “Pure Charcuterie” and “The Ethical Meat Handbook,” as well as meat from the class and preservation projects to continue in their own kitchens.

effect that is perfectly normal but can be startling without the warning. First-time kava drinkers will get a free shot of the plain house kava to sample before they order. The menu also includes specialty cultivars as well as the equivalent of mixed drinks or cocktails, blending the kava with flavored syrups to enhance the flavor, draft kombucha, and nitro Due South coffee. Coggins and his staff make their kava using a method that enhances the effectiveness. The 480 grams of the imported root powder is put in a four-gallon bucket. Then, hot water is added to let the kava soak for 45 minutes, and the water can’t be hotter than 121 degrees, or it starts to break down, lessening its effectiveness. After the hot soak, it’s then cooled and sits overnight to further soften the root, which is non-water-soluble. The mixture is then ladled into a 32-ounce blender and blended for 30 seconds or so before it is poured through a straining bag. The resulting liquid will be good for about five days. The staff will go through parts of this process every day to meet the demands of the bar, which are greater on nights like open mic poetry night that draws 50-60 customers every other Wednesday night.

The Velo Fellow | 1 Augusta St. No. 126 | 8:45 p.m. | Free
On their self-titled debut album from 2017, the Chapel Hill, N.C., duo Blue Cactus re-created the sounds of classic 1950s and ’60s country to an almost eerie degree. Steph Stewart and Mario Arnez got everything right: the dimly lit, smoke-filled atmosphere that singers like Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, and Faron Young discovered in Nashville’s recording studios; and a set of lonely hearted tunes that seemed tailor-made for honky-tonk jukeboxes. That’s what makes their new single, “Radioman,” such a surprise. Abandoning the mimicry of the first album, the single resets everything for the band, taking on a wide-open Americana-tinged country-rock style that’s closer to Gillian Welch than vintage Music City. “All the material we wrote for that first album, we were trying to write certain kinds of songs,” Arnez says. “We were approaching different country archetypes and putting limitations on ourselves, and you can only do that for so long before you want to stretch it out.” Stewart adds that the duo are now mixing those classic country styles with a more expansive approach for their next album. “We’re trying not to put too many limits on what we’re writing,” she says. “And if we find a really good song that we like, it’s still us singing and playing it.” – Vincent Harris THRU SAT

Lydia Can’t Breathe w/ Amnesis, Decibel Effect, and Reciprocator Radio Room 110 Poinsett Highway 9 p.m. | $7
For the past decade or so, the Florida metal quintet Lydia Can’t Breathe have charted their own uncompromising path, both musically and in the marketplace. The music is a pummeling mix of styles with little regard for the seemingly infinite sub-genres of heavy metal music, freely combining primal guitar aggression with progressive flourishes and flexible rhythms and topping it off with vocalist Kyle Bolduc’s surprisingly versatile voice, which can handle guttural growls and soaring choruses with equal ease. “We write music that we can enjoy,” Bolduc says. “We all listen to a bunch of different styles, so we didn’t want to be one genre. We just play what we want and do what we do to make it our own.” And the band has done so independently, releasing multiple albums, singles, and EPs without the aid of a major record label. “We have to figure out how to do videos, merchandising, recording, everything ourselves,” Bolduc says, “but we get to keep all of our money, and we don’t have anyone telling us that we can’t do something creatively.” – Vincent Harris

“Out of Line,” the new album by the Tuscaloosa, Ala., progressive-rock quintet CBDB, is an interesting contrast with their debut full-length, 2015’s “Joyfunk Is Dead.” Both albums feature the band’s tight, skillful playing, which simultaneously nods toward the jam-rock of bands like Perpetual Groove and the vintage sounds of prog bands like Yes and Genesis. But “Out of Line” refines the approach considerably, keeping their complex-but-catchy songs to about four to five minutes, whereas their debut sometimes stretched songs into nine-minute epics. The band’s bassist, Mike Sinopole, says the shortened songs are part of an effort by CBDB to make sure their songwriting chops are as strong as their instrumental ones. “We want to be able to have fun with it and play some technical stuff, but we want to be known as good songwriters as well as good instrumentalists,” he says. “You can be a really talented player, but writing a catchy song has a lot of value compared to writing a showy riff. The goal is to have it be accessible and have the fancy stuff underneath.” – Vincent Harris

Jackson captures the presidency as a born and bred American with a message that resonates with the common people, as opposed to the ruling class that preceded him. Ascending from his Tennessee upbringing, he finds himself in the Oval Office and discovers that campaigning is easy, but governing is hard.

Actually, there’s only one piano player, Jon Schmidt, and one other instrumentalist, Steven
Sharp Nelson, on cello. Yet the other two - Paul Anderson and Al van der Beek - are equally significant members of the group. 864-467-3000 | 800-888-7768 www.peacecenter.org
