OPINION Views from your community

My Fellow Millennials… …we need to talk about the true meaning of affordable housing By Bobby Barreto To my fellow millennials, I apologize. I’m sorry for throwing generational unity out the window and not taking your side on this issue. Hopefully, when this is all over, you’ll find it in your heart to forgive me for my treason and we can all grab a beer (or glass of rosé or whatever infused cocktail is popular nowadays). I take issue with how we, as a generation, view money and affordability. More specifically, I cringe every time I hear a millennial complain about how affordable housing affects them the same way I cringe every time someone says the word “moist.” Simply put, we millennials don’t understand what affordability means and how it relates to our spending habits. About a month ago, 35-year-old Australian developer Tim Gurner tried to touch on the same topic on his country’s version of “60 Minutes” and, in one fell swoop, managed to earn the outrage of almost every millennial in the world by alluding that avocado toast and $4 cups of coffee are what is holding the generation back from being able to afford a mortgage. I acknowledge that there are plenty of things at play when it comes to millennials being able to afford to buy a home. For starters, the average student loan bill is $351 per month (and rising, according to the Federal Reserve), health care costs continue to outpace inflation, and we haven’t yet been able to find an economically viable legislative solution for either. However, I think that we millennials should also look at ourselves in the mirror and ask, “What are we doing to impact our own personal financial situation?” Sure, Gurner’s use of avocado toast and $4 cups of coffee was silly. But what if I changed those examples to clichéd millennial buzzwords like “wanderlust” and “turning up”? I think one of the reasons millennials can’t seem to find financial stability is that we have an inherent desire to spend a ton of money on Instagram-worthy things and experiences (#topshelf #Coachella #brewerytour #beachweekend). Hell, I’m guilty of it, too. According to Travel Pulse, millennials spend over $200 billion annually on travel. With about 75.4 million millennials in the United States, that comes out to about $221 per month that millennials spend on travel and vacation. Additionally, millennials spend an average of about $523 per month at bars and restaurants. And that’s on top of their student loan payments and other bills. I love traveling and encourage everyone to take whatever opportunity they have to do it. In that same breath, though, I’d also warn that they would need to be prepared to make financial sacrifices in order to travel and do the “20 things that Buzzfeed says every 20-something needs to do.” The fact is you can afford a fun lifestyle on an entry-level salary, but you can’t afford that lifestyle and a nice house (or apartment) in a great neighborhood.

This brings me to the real topic of this article, and the thing that triggers me to no end: how millennials view affordable housing. In Greenville, millennials complain about how living downtown is completely unaffordable and that more affordable housing needs to be built — and they’re completely right… but for the wrong reasons. In my countless discussions on this issue with fellow millennials, I’ve found that most millennials want to live on (or near) Main Street. I respect that. I mean, who wouldn’t want to live in the heart of this great city? The problem is found when millennials have to spend $351 per month on student loan debt; want to spend $744 per month on travel, bars, and restaurants; have to pay their other bills (food, utilities, health insurance, and cable/internet); should be saving money for a down payment on a home purchase; but want to live in a part of town where a one-bedroom apartment costs about $1,200 per month. The numbers just don’t work out — you can’t afford all of those things on the budget that many millennials are living on. In the case of millennials, though, “you can’t have everything” isn’t an acceptable answer. So we demand affordable housing in the place where we want to live because, heaven forbid, we can’t be reduced to living somewhere with a 15-minute commute just because it’s more affordable to us than the place that we do want to live. I hope I am making myself perfectly clear to all of my fellow millennials who may be reading this: Just because you can’t afford $1,200 per month in rent doesn’t mean that the very real affordable housing problem that we have in this city applies to you. The spirit of affordable housing isn’t to make sure that 20-somethings are able to have their cake and eat it, too; it’s to help those in our community who are truly struggling to pay for basic living expenses. If you can’t afford a $1,200-per-month apartment because you’re saving money, traveling as much as possible, or paying off your student loans faster, good for you. If you aren’t saving money, traveling less than your friends, or making minimum payments on your student loans because you decided to live in a $1,200 per month apartment, good for you. Either way, live your best life. Just keep things in perspective. The lack of affordable housing is a glaring issue that faces our city. However, if we continue to look at it with the wrong perspective, we will never find a solution.

A MATTER OF ANTITRUST Legislators urge state AG to investigate GHS, Palmetto Health partnership

ANDREW MOORE | STAFF

amoore@communityjournals.com

Last month, the Greenville Health System (GHS) and Palmetto Health in Columbia announced plans to form the state’s largest health system, one that will serve 1.2 million patients annually and earn a projected $3.9 billion in annual net revenue. However, the members of Greenville County Legislative Delegation, a group that decides who serves on GHS’ board of trustees, want South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson to investigate the partnership. The delegation — Reps. Garry Smith, Rita Allison, Mike Burns, William Chumley, Dwight Loftis, Leola RobinsonSimpson, and Tommy Stringer — recently sent a letter to Wilson, expressing concerns about the “anti-competitive nature” of the partnership. “Over the past several years, GHS has been expanding horizontally, vertically, and geographically throughout a six-county region, such that it is now by far the dominant hospital and health care system in the Upstate,” the group said. “Depending upon the specific geographic area examined, GHS now controls between 75 percent and 100 percent of the market share.” “It has acquired county hospitals, a 300-employee cancer treatment center, numerous physician groups and clinics, and a variety of other medical and nonmedical organizations

throughout that six-county region,” the legislators added. “We believe that as attorney general, you should be investigating it for systemic and continual violations of the South Carolina antitrust laws.” When it comes to such matters, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice are already tasked with investigating whether or not the partnership violates antitrust laws. “We are confident that the FTC will find that the affiliation is not anti-competitive and offers significant cost efficiencies, which will be of benefit to the consumers and markets in general,” GHS spokeswoman Sandy Dees said in a prepared statement. According to GHS CEO Michael C. Riordan, the Upstate’s other medical systems do not oppose the merger. As first reported in the Upstate Business Journal, Riordan spoke with leaders at Bon Secours St. Francis Health System in Greenville, AnMed Health in Anderson, and Spartanburg Regional Health System before the announcement. “They have been incredibly supportive and see the need for what we’re doing for South Carolina,” he said. “There is nothing better for us than a strong Spartanburg [Regional Healthcare System], Bon Secours [St. Francis Health System], or AnMed [Health], and from a competition standpoint, they will keep us on our toes, and I hope they say we do the same thing for them.”

As South Carolina’s two largest health systems, GHS and Palmetto have a combined 13 hospitals and hundreds of physician practices and ambulatory centers. If the FTC approves their “merger of equals,” the new company will be one of the 50 largest health systems in the United States, according to Riordan. Furthermore, the organization will employ 2,800 physicians and 28,000 other staff — making it the largest private employer in South Carolina. And it will serve about onethird of South Carolina’s Medicaid population, and provide hundreds of millions of dollars in charity and uncompensated care. The partnership could have several benefits to the community, said Riordan. For one, the two health systems could offer services that, individually, were not feasible. Riordan added the combined systems also could expand health care and medical school training and expand clinical trial research. The Greenville Journal reached out to all the legislators who signed the letter to see if they could weigh in further. Burns of Taylors, S.C., was the sole one to reply ahead of the vacationheavy Independence Day weekend. He believes the merger will not stop with just the Upstate and the Columbia metropolitan area. It would “become an entire state problem,” he said. “Greenville Health System’s quest is to cover all of South Carolina, from Greenville to Myrtle Beach and Charleston,” said Burns, who represents District 17.

Greenville Health System spokeswoman Sandy Dees

“Greenville Health System in the Upstate already controls the lion’s share of patients, over 70 percent,” he added. “This trend will continue as they march toward the coast and continue to try to venture into neighboring states simultaneously. Again, lower competition only yields higher costs and lower health care.” Dees responds, “We are focusing on programs that will bring value to the Midlands and the Upstate,” adding that GHS will maintain its relationship with the Medical University of South Carolina, McLeod Health, and Self Regional Healthcare through the hospital systems’ purchasing collaborative Initiant Health Collaborative. “We will continue to

work with many hospitals and physicians on the many programs and services that benefit multiple communities in the state.” In the letter, Burns and his fellow members of the General Assembly propose several remedies to boost competition, including prohibiting future acquisitions, divesting existing holdings, placing limits on new joint ventures, and appointing a monitor to ensure future compliance with state antitrust laws. This isn’t the first time that the Greenville County Legislative Delegation has opposed a move by GHS. Last year, the delegation asked the FTC and the state Supreme Court to investigate GHS’ transformation into two separate, private nonprofit groups, the Strategic

Coordinating Organization (SCO) and the Upstate Affiliate Organization (UAO). The UAO will handle the day-to-day operations of GHS, and the SCO will guide the UAO. The state Supreme Court denied the request, and, according to Dees, the group later introduced a budget proviso that would have immediately closed GHS. The General Assembly voted against that measure 79 to 8. While the state Supreme Court has refused to take up the matter, that doesn’t mean the issue is entirely settled. A lawsuit is still pending in Greenville County Court of Common Pleas. According to S.C. Rep. William Timmons in a Greenville Journal op-ed, the court will “determine if the original GHS

Board of Trustees possessed the legal authority to delegate its powers and duties to two newly formed 501(c)(3) organizations for a term of 100 years.” Timmons later wrote, “In an Aug. 26, 2016, press release, GHS executives led the public to believe that the issue had been settled, since the S.C. Supreme Court refused to take original jurisdiction of the matter. This is intentionally misleading at best. The Supreme Court’s ruling simply requires the case to go through the traditional judicial process before being heard by the Supreme Court. Be that as it may, the FTC has looked into the delegation’s request and issued a notice that it wasn’t taking any action, Dees said. “These are also the same members of the delegation who have on numerous occasions tried to block the efforts of GHS to improve care in our community. They unsuccessfully sought to have Gov. [Nikki] Haley refuse to certify a public hearing held to maintain the tax-exempt status of bonds issued by GHS. This would have cost GHS, and the people it serves, over $167 million in additional interest,” said Dees. She also noted the group previously asked the state Legislative Audit Council to investigate GHS, and the council refused. According to Burns, the group of legislators have notified the FTC of their letter to the attorney general. He said the group wants to make sure the federal agency knows “people will be better off with a system that has competition, which will create better care at lower costs.” “Attorney General Wilson has to consider the circuit court suit, the actions the Federal Trade Commission may or may not take, and the best interest of South Carolina,” said Burns. “The folks don’t deserve to have assets which they’ve bought and paid for with taxpayer dollars to be pulled away with no oversight from the public and no decision toward the future.” The Attorney General’s office received the group’s letter on June 26 and plans to review the request in the coming weeks, according to a spokesman.

Clemson University and Bob Jones University are the best four-year colleges in South Carolina, according to the website Schools.com, an online resource that provides information about colleges nationwide for prospective students. The website’s recent report, “Best Schools 2017,” ranked more than 1,600 schools across the country, and looked at affordability, flexibility, and other factors. Clemson and BJU were listed in the two top spots out of 34 South Carolina colleges considered by Schools.com. “Although its sticker price is higher than that of other schools on this list, Clemson is more affordable once financial aid is factored in,” the report said. “The university has the fifth lowest average net price for low-income students.” The estimated yearly tuition rate is $14,318 for Clemson. The website’s survey, released earlier this month, credited Clemson for its 38 online programs and considerable flexibility. It also commended the university for retaining students and helping them advance toward graduation in six years or less. “Students looking for online South Carolina degrees will find plenty of options at Clemson University,” the report said. “The school ranks third for the number of distance education programs it supports. Also notable is the university’s graduation rate, which is ranked second in the state.” The report also said Clemson students graduate with lower debt levels relative to other South Carolina college graduates because of the amount of grant money available. Clemson “ranks fifth for the amount of institutional grant aid it awards as a percentage of its tuition and fees,” the report said. “Perhaps as a result of that, Clemson comes in fourth for the low median debt carried by graduates.” The university, which has an admission rate of 51 percent, was also listed as one of the most exclusive of the Top 10 colleges in South Carolina.

Schools.com named BJU the No. 2 college in the state because of its affordability. The website’s report said BJU ranks fifth out of 34 South Carolina institutions for its average net price and ranks first for the low median debt carried by graduates. BJU is also ranked first in the state in terms of its three-year loan repayment rate. Tuition and fees cost BJU students about $14,900 without financial aid, according to the university’s website. “BJU is honored to be recognized for its affordability — both in its price and in the low debt students acquire while pursuing their college degree,” BJU President Steve Pettit said in a press release. “We work every day to deliver affordable high-quality academic programs to students from across the United States and around the world,” he added. BJU is a regionally accredited university with more than 100 undergraduate and graduate programs in religion, education, fine arts and communication, arts and science, and business. The university has 2,700 students from nearly every state and more than 40 countries. Schools.com also commended BJU for its student support services. “The university offers a number of support services to help students be successful,” the report said. “There are remedial classes for those who need to brush up on core skills, academic advising, and career placement for those who earn their degree.” For more information, visit schools.com/ online-colleges/south-carolina. —Andrew Moore

School district policy deﬁnes appropriate interactions between teachers and students Teachers, school district employees, and approved volunteers who interact with students in Greenville County would be prohibited from having private one-on-one electronic communication with individual students that are unrelated to school activities or student well-being and occur without knowledge of the student’s parents under a new policy designed to define appropriate contact between teachers and students. Greenville County Schools attorney Doug Webb told school board members that the

policy is not designed to chill a teacher’s ability to instruct or mentor students but is designed to address “boundary-blurring” behavior. “It strikes that balance,” he said. While some school board members were concerned the policy could create apprehension among staff members, Board Chair Crystal Ball O’Connor, a member of a board committee that is reviewing all of the district’s policy, said the language is strong for a reason. She said during her research, she discovered that a lot of inappropriate relationships between teachers and students developed through electronic communications such as text messages and social media. “There’s no reason for private electronic communication not related to education,” she said. The policy says that relationships and interactions between district employees and students may exist outside of school as long as they occur with knowledge of parents. “Employees, however, should not make outside student interaction a regular part of their social life,” the policy says. Webb said there’s been a movement nationwide to have policies that address teacher-student interaction and that the school district would be one of the few in the Southeast with a policy that addresses a wide a range of behaviors. The policy is designed to prevent “grooming,” defined as drawing a victim into an intimate relationship and maintaining that relationship in secrecy. The policy says physical contact meant to encourage or reassure students, such as a hand on the shoulder or a pat on the back, should be brief and unambiguous. It also said teachers should not share secrets with students or conduct conversations with students in locations inaccessible to others or in situations on school premises that are unknown to the employee’s supervisor. School district employees are prohibited from giving or receiving gifts of a personal nature, such as jewelry and clothing, without the knowledge of parents. Exceptions may be made in emergencies or special circumstances such as helping a student in financial need.

Employees may also not grant special privileges, rewards, or opportunities to a specific student beyond those school-approved incentives provided to students to promote and recognize achievement and behavior. The policy says all district employees shall be trained in the prevention, identification, and reporting of possible sexual misconduct or abuse of students. Administrators and employees must immediately report suspected grooming of students. In addition, administrators must regularly review their buildings to identify locations that need to be enhanced to ensure appropriate student supervision. The policy does not prevent teachers from conducting educational activities that require appropriate physical contact such as teaching a technique or skill or from using necessary and appropriate restraint to prevent students from endangering or harming themselves or others. —Cindy Landrum

TRANSPORTATION

One Gateway project bridge completed The I-85/385 Gateway project is one step closer to completion. Construction crews recently completed one bridge in the main interchange, according to the South Carolina Department of Transportation. The project, approved by SCDOT in 2012, is expected to transform the Upstate’s driving experience, as it should revamp the trafficladen interchange and make much-needed additions to the overall regional transit structure. The $231 million project is being financed through Act 98 of 2013, which provided additional funding to SCDOT for bridge, resurfacing, and mainline interstate projects. Additional funding is being provided by the Federal Interstate Improvement Program and Greenville-Pickens Area Transportation Study Committee. The project, which is scheduled for completion by 2020, also includes: • The extension of the fourth auxiliary lane on I-85 northbound and the addition of another lane southbound between I-385 and Pelham Road. This means the road will be four lanes wide between these two exits.

• The widening of I-385 from four to six lanes between Butler Road and Roper Mountain Road. • The construction of 12 new interchange bridges, including two flyovers that will replace the existing loop ramps that tie I-85 from and to I-385. • The reconstruction and enhancement of the traffic signal system on Woodruff Road between Ketron Court and Highway 14. Also, flood warning signs will be added on I-85 near Rocky Creek. • The construction of additional turn lanes and reconstruction of three intersections

on Woodruff Road between I-85 and I-385. Construction is being done by Coloradobased Flatiron Construction Corp., an infrastructure contractor, and Texas-based Zachry Construction Corp. Both companies previously worked on landmark transportation projects in South Carolina. Flatiron, for instance, completed the Ravenel Bridge over the Cooper River in Charleston in 2005 and Carolina Bays Parkway in Myrtle Beach in 2002. Zachry Construction Corp. is best known for completing the Interstate 20 widening project NEWS continued on PAGE 12

NewSpring Church to discuss future on July 21 NewSpring Church officials plan to outline the church’s future direction and pastoral structure on July 21. The meeting comes a

year after the church’s split with founder and former senior pastor, Perry Noble. NewSpring’s leadership team will outline the church’s plans during NewSpring Leadership Night. Church leaders will be at the church’s Anderson campus, but the meeting will be aired at the rest of its campuses via live feed. Unlike the church’s services, the meeting will not be broadcast live online, said church spokeswoman Suzanne Swift. “We’ll be sharing what’s next,” she said. At the meeting, which is open to the public, church officials will provide answers to some of the questions they’ve heard since Noble’s departure, including whether attendance has dropped and how the ministry has been affected. NewSpring was the eighth fastest-growing church in 2016 with an attendance of more than 33,000, according to Outreach Magazine. Noble preached on June 28 at Powerhouse in Anderson, the first time he preached in Anderson since his dismissal from NewSpring. —Cindy Landrum

A NEW HOPE When they couldn’t find a school that could serve their autistic sons, two moms founded a preschool. Twenty years later, their unexpected mission continues.

WORDS BY CINDY LANDRUM | PHOTO BY WILL CROOKS Lisa Lane, left, and Susan Sachs, right

Lisa Lane and Susan Sachs hadn’t planned on starting a nonprofit organization and a school two decades ago, but they couldn’t find the programs needed by their young sons, newly diagnosed with autism, anywhere else. “There’s nobody as determined as a mom with a child in need,” Sachs said. “You’ll do anything.” So they started the Project Hope Foundation and a small preschool where children with autism and neurotypical kids attended classes side-by-side. “It was supposed to be a temporary thing,” Sachs said. Today, the school and its offshoot, the HOPE Foundation, serve about 300 people in the Upstate a day and are raising money to construct a permanent home in Greenville. “It’s a mission now,” Sachs said.

Lives turned upside down

Lane and Sachs were on a path familiar to many Upstate moms in 1996 — they were working and raising their families until the diagnoses of autism changed everything. Lane knows the exact date when she realized something wasn’t right with her second son, Colby — April 6, 1996.

Lisa Lane and Susan Sachs both noticed early signs of autism in their sons, Colby and Michael.

It was her older son’s birthday, and she noticed Colby, whom she saw as self-sufficient and independent, wasn’t participating in the party. “He was just not a part of it,” she said. Lane noted Colby was inconsistent in his responses to sound. At first, she thought he was deaf, especially after she

dropped a stack of books on the floor and he did not flinch. That theory was dismissed after Colby, who was not 2 years old yet, came running after Lane put a “Barney” video in the VCR and the theme song started to play. An attorney turned stay-at-home mom, Lane heard about an autism conference at Converse College and attended. Even at that time, she thought that the chance of Colby having the disorder was a long shot. But two months later, her son was diagnosed with autism. For Sachs, it took a lot longer. Her son Michael walked early, talked early. He spoke in sentences. He flirted if he saw a cute young girl or a grayhaired woman. “We’d go to the mall and he’d wave and say, ‘Hey! Hey!’ He was a really outgoing child,” Sachs said. That all changed when he was about 15 months old. Michael didn’t react at all when he saw his grandmother. He became oblivious to other children around him. At first, Sachs and doctors wondered if her son’s behavior was a reaction to his father being transferred to New Jersey for his job. “We thought it might have to do with his dad being gone, but it never got better,” she said.

Doctors told her to give it time. Friends who were in social work told her that kids sometimes lose skills. Michael’s father thought he was deaf. “Barney” once again proved that theory wrong. The family tried traditional therapies — speech, occupational. There was no improvement.

Too young, too old

When Lane attended the autism conference at Converse College, she found out about applied behavior analysis (ABA), a therapy that involves targeting specific objectives in order to teach communication and social and cognitive skills. After her son was diagnosed, Lane said she called every ABA provider in the country. Nobody would take him because he was too young. So she flew in a consultant from California so she could start doing the therapy at home. Other parents of children with autism used the consultant as well. Together they shared the cost of airfare, hotel, meals, and time. But Sachs and Lane knew that their sons needed more. They knew their sons needed to interact with typical kids. Finding a preschool that would take kids with autism proved to be difficult. “Michael spent a year at a private preschool, but he was not a part of that class,” she said. “I knew he needed to be in a structured program where he could practice those skills. It had to be a small classroom, and preschools are not profitable that way.” So they decided to start one themselves. Sachs had a friend who went to Advent United Methodist Church on Woodruff Road. The church’s pastor had met with the administrative council and talked about the possibility of starting a preschool. If they had one, it would have to be one-of-a-kind. “We came in, told our story and what we were looking to do,” Sachs said. Soon, they found themselves looking for used learning materials. They ran advertisements in the newspaper for teachers. They bought office supplies.

Children with autism seem typical until, sometime in the first three years of life, they don’t anymore. Autistic children might seem deaf until hearing tests show they aren’t. They talk until the words stop. According to the Autism Society of America, others signs include little or no eye contact, insistence on sameness, obsessive attachment to objects, and not wanting to be cuddled. It’s the overall pattern, not any single trait, that’s indicative of the complex developmental disability that affects a person’s ability to communicate and interact with others. When Sachs and Lane started the Project Hope Foundation, the incidence of autism was 1 in every 2,800 children. Now, it’s 1 in every 68. Experts don’t know the reasons for the sharp increase — it’s been attributed to environmental causes, genetics, changing criteria, and better detection. Whatever the cause, Sachs and Lane say there’s no reason to think that demand for services won’t continue to increase. “It doesn’t seem like it will do anything but grow,” Sachs said.

Looking to the future

Today, Hope Academy is housed at the Temple of Israel at 400 Spring Forest Drive. It has 101 students and 27 teachers. “We could fill an additional five classrooms now,” Lane said, regarding the school’s current space. Hope Academy has purchased land at 501 E. Butler Road in Mauldin next to Mauldin City Park for its first permanent facility in Greenville. “It’s hard to do early morning, late evening, and weekend services when you’re in somebody else’s space,” Sachs said. “There’s a big need for after-school programs and early morning drop-off.” Lane said the Butler Road property is an ideal location because the park is within walking distance and students from nearby Mauldin High have worked with the school since 2002. To meet all their goals, Hope Academy is in the midst of a capital campaign to raise the $9.8 million to build and furnish a new school. So far, $1.2 million has been raised and another nearly $1 million pledged in in-kind donations. Lane said almost half the school’s students are able to move into mainstream programs and others show significant growth. “Some children gain enough skills that you

That’s the beauty and the heartbreak.” And that potential is evident in Lane’s son, Colby, now 22. Where he once struggled to differentiate between four words — ball, shoe, movie, and cup — he now communicates with people every day. “He’s living a very successful life,” Lane said. Colby is not alone. Michael, now 25, is part of Hope Alive, a pilot program the Project HOPE Foundation is running in partnership with South Carolina Vocational Rehabilitation that helps participants develop life and job skills. Hope Alive is one of several programs run by the foundation, which now has campuses in Greenwood and Woodruff. A new campus will soon open in downtown Spartanburg. Sachs said she feels good about what the foundation and Hope Academy has done. “Autism is a difficult hand, but like anything difficult, good things come from it,” she said. While there have been times of struggle for the foundation and Hope Academy, both Sachs and Lane said they would do it again. “How can you look at the miracles that happen here every day and say no?” Lane said.

Hope Academy needs $9.8 million to build and furnish a new school. So far, $1.2 million has been raised and another nearly $1 million pledged in in-kind donations.

Brother-sister duo receives national recognition for Adopt-A-Stream efforts

ANDREW MOORE | STAFF

Greenville’s Rachel and Adam Enggasser aren’t your typical teenagers. They don’t spend hours with their eyes glued to the screens of their smartphones or waste their time bingewatching Netflix shows. Instead, the siblings can usually be found standing in the middle of a stream with rubber boots on their feet and scientific instruments in hand. Each month, the brother-sister duo ventures out to dozens of Upstate streams and samples for E. coli bacteria and other dangerous substances like metals and mercury. They also help coordinate training sessions to certify more South Carolinians in chemical and macroinvertebrate water monitoring. Their work hasn’t gone unnoticed. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently named the Enggasser siblings as winners of a 2016 Presidential Environmental Youth Award. According to a press release, the award honors environmental awareness projects developed by young individuals, school classes, summer camps, and others.

This year, the EPA recognized projects from 13 states. “These students are empowering their peers, educating their communities, and demonstrating the STEM skills needed for this country to thrive in the global economy,” EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt said in a prepared statement. Rachel and Adam will receive their EPA award this fall in Washington, D.C. They are the first Greenville County students to win the award. The EPA selected the siblings for their efforts to teach other students about water quality monitoring, according to a press release. In 2013, Rachel, a sophomore at Wade Hampton High School, and Adam, a 2017 graduate from Greenville Senior High Academy, recruited some of their classmates to form Citizen Science in High Schools Aimed at Water Quality Testing. The group, which now includes more than 20 students, has since executed a monthly survey of 18 county streams for possible E. coli bacteria hotspots. They test the streams and post their results to a public database so public health officials and researchers can detect changes that may result from sewage spills. Through their monitoring initiatives over the years,

Since 2005, Rachel and Adam Enggasser have participated in Georgia’s Adopt-A-Stream program. “South Carolina actually didn’t have its own program when we decided to get into water quality monitoring, so we trained through Georgia’s program and decided to tackle water quality issues back at home,” said Adam Enggasser. The siblings’ water quality monitoring efforts include collecting samples at three sites on the Reedy River in downtown Greenville. The river has experienced severe pollution since the early 1900s because of nearby textile mills, sewage discharges, and runoff from increased urbanization. South Carolina has more than 64,000 miles of streams and rivers but only 174 stations to monitor for pollution. “Our public officials don’t have the necessary resources to monitor all of our streams and rivers. It’s impossible,” said Rachel Enggasser. “It’s our responsibility to help keep the environment in check.”

two broken sewer lines have been discovered and repaired at Greenville’s Brushy Creek and Sliding Rock Creek. The project has also benefited participating students, according to Adam Enggasser. “Citizen science projects get students plugged into the scientific community and interested in STEM careers,” he said. “If they’re interested they can join us and get the

chance to meet professors and officials from around the state,” he added. “Those are great connections for college.” The brother-sister duo plans to continue to share their knowledge and encourage their classmates and teachers to participate in environmental efforts. Adam will attend the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill this fall to major in environmental science but plans to continue monitoring through the summer.

Rachel plans to oversee the project through her graduation and use it as a platform for education reform in the Upstate. “I’ve noticed less of an emphasis on self-discovery for STEM initiatives and more of a classroom setting style,” she said. “I want to get younger students in the outdoors for some exploratory learning, rather than following strict guidelines. I want to break down the walls between students and the scientific community.”

WYNIT provides 5,000 books for Greenville summer reading program To help Greenville students, WYNIT has joined the Make Summer Count program and adopted Summit Drive Elementary School. Make Summer Count is a reading initiative organized by Public Education Partners of Greenville County. The program provides high-need students and families with resources and opportunities to encourage reading through the summer. Summer reading is critical to educational development. Research shows that reading proficiency, particularly for lower income students, declines in the summer. Between grades one and six, it is possible a student could lose as much as a year and a half of reading ability through the summer months alone. The WYNIT volunteers who committed to participating received special training on leading reading groups of children earlier in June. A total of 20 WYNIT staffers are volunteering with the program and will be working with other schools on reading nights throughout the summer.

minute-and-a-half to twominute ticket time sounds too good to be true at a non-fastfood restaurant. It’s literally the span of time it takes to fill up your drink cup at the fountain, find a table, and get situated. Enter White Duck Taco Shop, whose quick service time is just as much a signature feature as the crispy pork belly with pickled watermelon rind taco. I can affirm the fabled 1:30-2-minute turnaround time, having now eaten at the new Greenville location that opened June 21 in Hampton Station for lunch and dinner, with friends arriving at different times and ordering separately and waiting in lines reaching the door or no line at all.

same at the other five locations along the I-26 corridor from Charleston to Johnson City, Tenn. What makes the short wait time even better is that on the other end of it is fresh, flavorful food, 99 percent of which is sourced in the U.S. The double corn tortilla taco offerings, many with an obvious Asian-leaning flavor profile, change according to availability, but options include fish with pico de gallo, chipotle crema, and cabbage; steak and cheese with lettuce, pico, and Mexican crema; Bangkok shrimp with cucumber, chili aioli, and sesame glaze; banh mi tofu with daikon and carrot slaw, sambal aioli, and ginger glaze; Thai peanut chicken with tropical salsa and cabbage, and mushroom and potato with romesco sauce, pico, and feta. They

are each in the $3.45–$3.65 range. For kids, there are cheese or chicken quesadillas for $3.45. Sides, such as watermelon with fresh mint or green chile and black beans, are $2, and chips and salsa trio, which includes a medium red, verde, and chipotle aioli, or chips and queso, are $3. Desserts, which you really shouldn’t pass up unless you’re deathly allergic to an ingredient, rotate between Mexican Chocolate Pot du Creme with Pistachio Nut Crunch and Coconut Macaroon Pie with Salted Caramel for $4.50. Side note: Look for the green star on the chalkboard menu to denote glutenfree items. So basically, if you’re not indulging in several glasses of the seasonal sangria ($6) or the top-shelf margarita ($10),

lunch or dinner at White Duck doesn’t need to involve a major financial commitment. The environment in the former cotton mill is casual and family-friendly. With the outdoor patio, grassy lawn, and beer garden in front of neighboring Birds Fly South Ale Project, there’s plenty of seating space for groups or couples when the weather allows. Seating indoors at custom-built tables branded with the duck logo ranges from 60-70 people.

White Duck Taco Shop is located at 1320 Hampton Ave. Ext., Suite 12B. Hours are 11:30 a.m.–9 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and closed Sunday.

HER ANDY Victoria Wyeth’s photographs offer an intimate look at the world of her grandfather, Andrew Wyeth CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

There’s the Andrew Wyeth the art world knows. Then there’s the Andrew Wyeth that his granddaughter, Victoria, knew. “The thing that differentiates Andy from Andrew Wyeth was that Andy was my grandpa,” she said. And like so many people, Victoria Wyeth has many memories of her grandpa doing grandfatherly things — such as taking her to the movies, eating gooey cheeseburgers together, and even making a trip to the King of Prussia Mall to get her a pair of white boot-cut jeans even though he was hardly the mall type — that contrasted the public’s perception of the man as a gruff, unsmiling recluse. Andrew Wyeth fans will get a unique and intimate look into the artist’s world — the one he shared with his only granddaughter — through an exhibition of Victoria Wyeth’s photographs. “Victoria Wyeth: My Andy,” a collection of more than 30 black-and-white photos taken between 1993 and 2013, opens July 12, the 100th anniversary of the artist’s birth. “We’ve established what a fabulous painter he is,” Victoria Wyeth said in a phone interview. “But he was just as wonderful a person.” Victoria Wyeth took up photography in high school when it and studio art were offered as an alternative to taking French. “I can’t draw a circle,” she said. She credits her teacher, Mrs. Seccombe, for pushing her into a medium that was previously unexplored by her family of artists. The first photograph she ever took of her grandfather — the only one he knew she was taking — was at the Kuerner Farm, a historic farm in Chadds Ford, Pa., that the artist explored in many of his best-known paintings and that he had suggested numerous times she go with him. “I always saw Andy as this adorable, cuddly, smiling older man,” she said. On that day, she said, “For the first time in my life, Andrew Wyeth was standing before me. Not Grandpa, not Andy, but Andrew Wyeth the artist. He was doing the weirdest thing with his hand. His fingers were all splayed out, and he had the most earnest look I had ever seen in my life.” Wyeth calls the exhibition, her first solo

The first photograph Victoria Wyeth took of her grandfather was at Kuerner Farm, a historic farm in Chadds Ford, Pa.

show, an awesome Happy Birthday and “I love you” present to her grandfather, who died nine years ago. “It’s so great all this is happening, but it’s so sad he’s not here,” she said. The Greenville exhibition is a perfect present for her, too, she said. Wyeth was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago at the age of 36. She said she’ll wear pink for the exhibition opening and will be “all tailored and prim and proper.” She faces a double mastectomy before Halloween. “It’s been a tough couple of years,” she said. The exhibition complements the museum’s current exhibition “Wyeth Dynasty,” which showcases the museum’s large collection of Andrew Wyeth’s watercolors, temperas, and drawings, as well as works by Wyeth’s son Jamie; his father, N.C. Wyeth; and his sisters, Carolyn and Henriette Wyeth. The photographs include images of the renowned artist at home, of his wife, Betsy; and of the people and landscapes that inspired him in both Chadds Ford, Pa., and coastal Maine. The photos give an insider look. One photo shows Wyeth in a black turtleneck and a handmade wool sweater. Black L.L. Bean turtlenecks were Victoria’s go-to gift for her grandpa. She said she always felt a bit embarrassed that all she gave him were turtlenecks, especially with some of the cool gifts he received from others. But after opening the box, he would say, “Black turtlenecks! I love black turtlenecks!” and peel off whatever shirt he was wearing to put the new one on. “He always had a knack for making me feel so special,” she said. When Victoria’s parents divorced, she remembers Andy acknowledging how horrible it must have been for her. “Usually people think of the parents who are divorcing. They don’t think of an 18-year-old kid,” she said. “We were so close. He got me.” When Victoria Wyeth was in Upstate New York after her parents divorced, Wyeth would write her letters. “Having fun,” the letters said, “but wish you were here.” “He made me feel special,” she said. “I want to make him feel special. The real point of the show is to show him as a human and a loving father and grandfather.”

MURDER, SHE WROTE (AGAIN) Journalist turned preacher and homeless advocate writes second book in mystery series CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

When she was a newspaper reporter, Triune Mercy Center pastor Deb RichardsonMoore’s stories generated headlines. Now, the headlines are generating storylines in her mystery series. “The Cover Story,” the second cozy mystery in Richardson-Moore’s Branigan Powers series, was inspired, in part, by news stories involving college campuses, including one where 18 Penn State students were charged in connection with the death of a fraternity pledge who died after falling down stairs at a fraternity house. “It seemed like over and over, horrible things were happening on college campuses,” she said. “Some of the things that happen in the book, five years ago, I would have said, ‘That’s too unrealistic.’ Now, there’s nothing that’s too unrealistic. It seems to be happening all the time.” In “The Cover Story,” a fatal crash involving two college students heading home for the holidays seems like an unfortunate accident. But when the surviving girl wakes up, she says a vehicle — an old-fashioned, 1950sstyle hearse — ran them off the road. Powers is desperate to find out whether her niece is still in danger and teams up with Malachi Ezekiel Martin, a homeless man and one of the key characters in the first book, to track the hearse to a local university. There, she is led to dangerous fraternity and sorority pledge parties and must uncover what is really going on at the college before other students are put in danger. Richardson-Moore, a lifelong mystery lover, said she hopes people will learn something about the homeless by reading the book. Before becoming pastor at Triune, an international nondenominational church that works with the homeless, Richardson-Moore said she didn’t recognize that some of the people she saw in her day-to-day life were homeless. “You don’t know what you’re looking at unless you know what to look for,” she said. “They’re kind of invisible out in the open.” Richardson-Moore put Malachi at the heart of her mysteries to show that the homeless are real people and to show “not only how he lives but how he thinks,” she said. “Homelessness does not define a person’s

character,” Richardson-Moore said. “There are good, bad, and in between. Having a house or not having a house does not show a person’s character.” The old hearse came from Richardson-Moore’s childhood. When she was growing up, her family told ghost stories, especially when they were at the beach. They told stories about the Gray Man of Pawleys Island; Alice Flagg, an early 19th-century woman from an upper-crust family who fell in love with a man in a lower social class; and other ghosts from the Carolinas. But the family’s favorite was a story from Richardson-Moore’s Aunt Margaret, a teacher in Sumter. According to the story, Margaret was returning home around dusk from Columbia, and a car began following her. She sped up, and it sped up. She dropped back to let it pass, and it edged up beside her. She saw it was an old hearse. It began inching toward her, threatening to force her off the road. As she neared her house, Margaret realized no one was home. She was afraid she wouldn’t be able to get out of the car and into the house before whoever it was could get in. She continued driving, the hearse on her tail, until she arrived at her in-laws’. The hearse followed her into the driveway but quickly turned around in the yard and sped off when Margaret’s headlights shone on the house. “I told that story on every beach trip probably from the time I was 12 years old,” Richardson-Moore said. “It’s been trying to find its way into a book ever since.” It has — in Richardson-Moore’s latest cover story. She is already working on the third book in the series.

The Banditos’ sophomore record reflects uneasy times CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

In 2015, a raucous, six-piece musical hurricane from Birmingham, Ala., called the Banditos released their debut self-titled album on Bloodshot Records. The band had been together since 2010, honing an all-over-theplace mix of loose, chaotic Southern rock, gritty honky-tonk country, and the stunning, torn-throat soulful emoting of singer Mary Beth Richardson. On one hand, there was a little something for everyone. On the other, it was a stylistic grab bag. And it was a slow starter in the marketplace, eventually becoming a sleeper hit thanks to a punishing touring schedule that took the Banditos around the country (including a stop at the 2015 edition of Fall for Greenville) and overseas. The album garnered rave reviews from taste-making sites and publications like The A.V. Club.com, Paste magazine, and the Chicago Tribune, and began to find a commercial foothold, much to the surprise of the band. “We were a kind of nobody-knows-whowe-are band from Alabama, trying to break through,” Richardson says. “It’s a weird thing to try to get commercial success with a sound that was so all over the place.” But if fans were expecting another collection of rave-ups and down-and-dirty twang on the band’s just-released follow-up, “Visionland,” they might be a bit surprised. There are certainly elements of that raw anything-goes spirit on the banjo-driven rocker “DDT,” and on the appropriately titled pickin’-and-grinnin’ shuffle “Fun All Night.” But there’s more than a hint of darkness on “Visionland.” On “DDT,” the lyrics betray a certain amount of fear and suspicion in the air: “It seems like every time I try to lay down in my bed,” guitarist Corey Parsons sings, “a voice keeps whispering something in my head: ‘Boy, be careful what you do and say.’” Elsewhere, on the driving rocker “Fine Fine Day,” Parsons and Richardson’s voices intertwine in a tellingly desperate tone, singing, “I can’t think of an American thing to say.” Seems like a little of the country’s current turmoil has snuck onto the Banditos’ propulsive musical freight train. “I guess it’s kind of a reflection of what’s going on right now in society,” Richardson says. “The album is kind of a transition from being a young band and having a rowdy good time on the first record to making a little more space in the music, because it feels bet-

Singer Mary Beth Richardson (second from right) says the Banditos’ second album “came out kind of dreamy and airy.”

ter there than in reality right now. It’s the result of being a touring band and going across the country and overseas and being more aware of what’s going on around you, rather than being a little bubble.” Reflection is an interesting word for Richardson to use, because the album itself was the result of a lot more consideration than their first. “Visionland,” which was produced by Israel Nash, is a concentrated effort by the band to create a bigger, more cohesive sound. “It was a big change to sit down and reflect on what we were playing and dissect it and see it clearly,” Richardson says. “We went out to Dripping Springs, Texas, on 10 acres of land in the middle of nowhere, and I think that being secluded and wrapped up in the ideas helped it come out really well.” In short, the Banditos haven’t given up being a kickass blend of rock, country, and soul, but they have gotten a little older and wiser. “Our palette has broadened,” Richardson says. “Our tastes have changed, and we wanted a different feel. I didn’t know how the album was going to sound going into it, but it came out kind of dreamy and airy, and I really liked that.”

Salsa at Sunset

Bastille Days Greenville

Yappy Hour

Upstate International and Pura Alegría Dance Company are hosting their third annual, three-part dance event, Salsa at Sunset. The first event will be held July 8 at Graham Plaza, located in front of The Peace Center. Bring your family and friends to enjoy salsa lessons and dancing and live Latin music from The Marcel Portilla Band. There will also be a beer and wine cash bar. If you can’t make it on Saturday, Salsa at Sunset will be held again on Aug. 12 and Sept. 16. Aug. 12 will feature the Sonbachá band at the same location, while the Sept. 16 event will be held at the Clemson University amphitheater, with music from the Orquesta Mayor band. —Jonas Mullins

14 Juillet — or July 14 — marks French Independence Day, and even the Upstate will be celebrating. The annual Bastille Days Greenville is the signature fundraiser for Black Sheep Farm Ltd., a horse-assisted education nonprofit in Fountain Inn. The culture and celebration of French Independence Day intertwines with Black Sheep Farm, as France is known for its love and appreciation of horses, demonstrated by the country’s victories in Olympic equestrian competition and advanced police equestrian training. The theme this year for Bastille Days Greenville will revolve around “haute couture.” With the purchase of a ticket, guests can indulge in French food (heavy hors d’oeuvres), wine, and kir (a popular French cocktail); participate in a silent and live auction; and watch a fashion show. Auction prizes include one week in Clermont-Ferrand, France, one week in Saumur, France, and many other French-themed gifts and items. —Jonas Mullins

You know what’s better than just enjoying a regular ol’ happy hour? Enjoying a happy hour with your — and others’ — four-legged friends. Enter Yappy Hour, held at NOMA Square on the second Wednesday of the month. Mix and mingle with pups and humans while listening to the tunes of Louis Sagedy and procuring libations at the cash bar. The event also includes door prizes and specials on “yappetizers” from Roost. And each attendee can order their dog a complimentary “pup-tini” drink, ensuring that you both get the most out of Yappy Hour. —Emily Pietras

Musicians mention Nirvana as an influence all the time, but they usually point to Kurt Cobain’s intense-but-melodic way with a song or Dave Grohl’s explosive drumming. Few people have ever said, “I picked up a bass because of Nirvana,” but that’s the band that got Upstate four-string whiz Neil Alexander started. “I have an older brother who was listening to Nirvana when I was 10 years old,” he says. “I got into it, picked up a bass at a pawn shop, and never put it down.” Of course, Alexander also had a practical reason for not going with another instrument as well. “There are always plenty of guitar players and drummers around,” he says. “There’s not always a bass player. And that’s been my role: laying down the foundation.” Alexander has played everything from country to jazz in different ensembles from here to Nashville, but his trio performance at VILLive will focus on unpredictable jams. “It’s very improvisational,” he says. “We’ll do a John Mayer tune, then go into a free-form jazz tune.” —Vincent Harris

The Wood Brothers

TD Stage, 300 S. Main St. 8 p.m. | $25, $55 Listening to the rustic, vocal-harmony-drenched Americana of The Wood Brothers, it’s difficult to believe that bassist Chris Wood used to be part of the jazz-funk fusion group Medeski, Martin & Wood. Together with his guitarist brother Oliver and multi-instrumentalist Jano Rix, the trio creates a heartfelt, stripped-down style that pulls from roots-rock just as much as Appalachian folk. And sometimes, particularly onstage, those styles can change from song to song. “I think the sound of the band evolves and the repertoire evolves,” Oliver Wood says. “Because if nothing else, we like to entertain ourselves by changing things up. We’ll take songs that were once waltzes and change them to 4/4 time or take acoustic songs and make them louder, rock ‘n’ roll songs or vice-versa. There are lots of ways you can rework a song, and we do it partly for us, but partly for the audience.” The band’s most recent album, 2015’s “Paradise,” was the first time since forming in 2004 that they shared the songwriting duties rather than relying on Oliver’s tunes, and he says they’re loving the new sense of collaboration. “We’re working on a new album now, and the three of us are having a great time co-writing and co-producing,” he says. —Vincent Harris

When Cadaver Creator formed in 2013, they had a plan: to play brutal death metal in the style of bands they loved like Cannibal Corpse and Morbid Angel. The only question was how they were going to do it as a two-piece. “The band began as a project for me and [guitarist] Robert McFarland,” says singer Chris Cobb. “We wanted to do an old-school project. We started talking about it and coming up with riffs and writing songs. It was just me, him, and programmed drums.” Over time, the band has expanded to a five-piece that includes drummer Tyler Wooten, bassist Quinn Reilly, and second guitarist Major Howell, and their sound has grown as well. “We’re often labeled as death metal, but we’re really more than that,” Cobb says. “We take bits of black metal, thrash, nu-metal, and ’80s metal, though sometimes you might not be able to hear them specifically. It’s really a melting pot of influences.” —Vincent Harris

PUBLIC NOTICE A Common Law Commercial Lien has been LAWFULLY established between myself, Melvin: Earl Wiley, and the individual who accepts liability for the Corporation State of South Carolina, at 1205 Pendleton Street COLUMBIA, SC 29201. herein referred to as “the Tortfeaser”. The reason for this Lien is that I have been the subject of a wrong (i.e. a tort) at the hands of the Tortfeaser, and my remedy IN LAW is to be able to place Lien on their property, until the wrong has been set aright. Thus I am LAWFULLY able to seize goods and assets that belong to the Tortfeaser, up to the amount of the Commercial Lien, which is Hundred Million, [100,000,000.00] This Notice is to inform whomsoever may be concerned that the creditworthiness of this Tortfeaser is, henceforth, highly suspect, until the Lien lapses - or is, by some other means, removed.
