5 MAC grants to look out for

The Metropolitan Arts Council’s quarterly grants program is the backbone of the organization, and it provides project support to individual artists, arts organizations and arts education programs throughout Greenville.

The impact of these grants on the overall cultural environment of Greenville is significant, as the funds have allowed artists and presenting companies to expand their programs and services. Here are a few of the artists, organizations and programs who have recently been given that extra boost from MAC to turn their visions into realities.

SOUTH CAROLINA CHILDREN’S THEATRE SCCT’s Scholarship Program

Goal: to provide scholarships for its Theatre Arts classes in 2018 Each year, SCCT’s Theatre Outreach Partnerships serve 14,000+ children who are at-risk, disadvantaged, hospitalized or disabled.

Class scholarships give children who haven’t had access to theatre the chance to discover their potential and build their confidence.

“With support from MAC, SCCT is able to provide nearly 20 theatre class scholarships to underprivileged youth across the Upstate. Many of these students lack access to the theatre arts, but thanks to our scholarship program, they are able to fully participate in our offerings. Here they will find a nurturing environment in which to explore their creativity, build friendships and feel a sense of belonging.”

– Carter Meadors, Grants Manager

“Through this support, Salsa at Sunset has grown to be an event that families travel to the Upstate to participate in, that motivates individuals to learn a new language, that children take an interest in learning to play music because of, that makes retirees remember how much fun dancing can be, and that prompts people of different backgrounds to start conversations that lead to friendships across cultures. Now that is some kind of impact.”

- Tracie Frese, Executive Director

UPSTATE INTERNATIONAL Salsa at Sunset

Goal: to highlight local dancers and regional Latin musicians to engage a wider audience in Greenville’s artistic diversity Salsa at Sunset is a free, family-friendly salsa dance party. The third event is coming up on August 11 from 6 – 10 p.m. in front of the Peace Center. (dance lessons from 6 – 7 p.m.)

"The financial assistance I have received from the MAC Artist Grant will be primordial to execute my project, “Conversation Starters,” a production line of salt and pepper shakers that will carry my message while continuing to expand my career. At the same time, I will be able to offer internships to local emerging artists, giving them the chance to learn from my own processes and from my daily artistic practice. Once again MAC's support reaffirms my sense of belonging to the artistic community and to the city of Greenville at large."

– Diana Farfán

DIANA FARFÁN | “CONVERSATION STARTERS” A Production of Salt & Pepper Shakers

Goal: to create a collection of small ceramic sculptures that are both functional and artistically stimulating The collection of five different sets of salt and pepper shakers have their own narrative and characters. Diana Farfán produces them using a slip cast technique, where each piece is formed individually but altered by hand to give it unique qualities. These sculptures are an affordably priced introduction to her larger work.

COMMUNITY FOUNDATION OF GREENVILLE Josh White Commemorative Sculpture

Goal: to honor the life of Josh White, a world-renowned African American guitarist, singer and songwriter born in Greenville A new sculpture approved by the Arts and Public Places Commission will honor the legacy of Greenville musician, Josh White, through a contemporary sculpture series of tablets. The Josh White sculpture will feature double-sided bronze plaques 10 ft. wide and 9 ft. tall, created by sculptor Joe Thompson. The sculpture will be located outside of the new downtown Embassy Suites Hotel off River Street on Hammond Street.

GLOW LYRIC THEATRE

Fidelio (2018 opera production) Goal: to create accessible opera performances that touch current issues in the community GLOW (a non-profit opera and musical theatre company) is producing Fidelio, the third show of the GLOW 2018 Festival and its only opera of the season. It’s Ludwig van Beethoven’s only opera, and this will be the first professional production of it in S.C. “I can honestly say that GLOW Lyric Theatre would not even exist without MAC. They were our very first grantor and have been instrumental in our ability to grow year after year.” –Christian Elser, Executive Director

OPINION

Views from your community

Our city’s defining symbol is a bridge, not a wall

By Paul Hyde Here’s a little secret: Greenville is the city that globalization built.

From its sparkling downtown (the vision of a Jewish refugee) to the mighty Upstate economy (fueled by massive foreign investment and soaring international exports), the Greenville area has benefited enormously from globalization.

I’m whispering (in case you didn’t notice) because “globalization” — the movement of people, goods, and capital across national borders — has become a dirty word these days.

Walls have become the primary symbol for the USA. Immigrants and refugees are not welcome. President Donald Trump, meanwhile, is bombarding our trading partners with tariffs — and they’re firing back.

At such times, it’s worthwhile to remember that Greenville’s shining symbol is not a wall, but rather the Liberty Bridge in Falls Park.

It’s a perfect emblem for Greenville, a generous community that, with characteristic Southern hospitality, welcomed to our city a young Jewish refugee named Max Moses Heller who had escaped the Holocaust as the Nazis were descending upon Austria in 1938.

Heller, after marrying the former Trude Schonthal on Greenville’s Main Street in 1942, would place an indelible stamp on Greenville.

Anti-immigrant sentiment in the U.S. was running high when Heller arrived in Greenville. Thousands of other Jewish refugees were being turned away from America’s shores, including Anne Frank and her family. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in a cruel argument echoed by Trump today, claimed that Jewish refugees posed a threat to national security.

The indefatigable Heller, for his part, set about making history in Greenville. He would become a highly successful business owner, a city councilman (1969-1971), and later Greenville’s mayor (1971-1979).

CREATING DOWNTOWN In the early 1970s, Greenville’s downtown was a sorry sight, with cars speeding

down the four-lane Main Street past many boarded-up buildings.

Mayor Heller decided to narrow Main Street to two lanes, slow the traffic, and add more sidewalks, green space, and flower planters.

Heller sought to re-create the walkable, tree-lined villages he knew growing up in Austria. (I can hear his raspy voice in one of my last interviews with him before his death in 2011: “Never forget the trees.”)

That’s another little secret: Greenville’s lovely American downtown actually is a lovely European downtown. As one character says in the hit musical “Hamilton,” “Immigrants — we get the job done.”

Thanks to Heller and subsequent leaders such as Bill Workman and current Mayor Knox White, we enjoy one of the most beautiful and celebrated downtowns for cities of our size in America. It’s also an economic powerhouse for our city.

This is globalization writ small: an example of how immigrants contribute to the richness of our communities.

IMPACTING THE UPSTATE Globalization has positively impacted the entire Upstate. Again with classic Southern hospitality, we’ve welcomed to the Upstate hundreds of international businesses such as Germany’s BMW (10,000 employees), France’s Michelin (more than 5,000 employees), Sweden’s Electrolux, Switzerland’s Nestle, Japan’s Fujifilm, and Germany’s ZF, Bosch, Adidas, and Draexlmaier, to name just a few.

The Upstate Business Journal announced only a few days ago that South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics would open a new customer care center in Simpsonville, creating 400 jobs.

The Upstate region boasts 450 international businesses from 30 countries. More than 100 of those businesses (from 22 countries) are in Greenville County alone.

That’s globalization writ loud and clear.

Our globalized Upstate community doesn’t like economic barriers, whether they’re barriers to foreign investment or Trump’s crushing tariffs.

On Trump’s misguided trade war, the Upstate’s international businesses are

sounding the alarm: BMW, employing 10,000 workers and directly impacting 36,000 Upstate jobs, recently warned of job losses and higher prices for consumers.

U.S. tariffs raise the prices of components that a business such as Germanowned ZF imports for the car parts it manufactures in Gray Court and Duncan.

Retaliatory foreign tariffs, meanwhile, can undermine the overseas sales of BMW and other Upstate businesses.

SOUNDING THE ALARM The S.C. Chamber of Commerce also is raising red flags and shouting at the top of its lungs, blasting Trump’s tariffs as a significant threat to the entire state’s economy, with 600,000 jobs tied to more than $3 billion in annual exports.

Erecting barriers between people and trading partners doesn’t reflect the soul of Greenville and the values of the Upstate.

No, we don’t take things to extremes.

We don’t support unlimited immigration, and we believe in reasonable business regulation.

And while globalization certainly doesn’t deserve all the credit for the Upstate’s bustling and growing economy, it has been an unambiguous boon for the region.

At the bottom of anti-globalization efforts is fear of foreignness — whether of people or internationally competitive businesses.

That’s not how we roll. At its best, Greenville approaches immigrants and businesses with a spirit of openness, not a closed fist.

Our defining symbol is a bridge, not a wall.

SEARCH FIRM HELPING GREENVILLE CITY COUNCIL FIND NEXT CITY MANAGER

Texas-based executive search firm Springsted|Waters is helping Greenville City Council find the city’s next manager.

Greenville City Manager John Castile’s last day will be Aug. 31.

The current timeline calls for candidates to be screened Aug. 28 through Sept. 11 and background checks completed by Sept. 18, said Councilwoman Jil Littlejohn. She said the Council hopes to be able to make an offer to a candidate by Oct. 1.

“I know we’ll never find another John Castile because there’s only one,” she said. “But I’m confident we’ll find someone with the skill set to move Greenville forward in the next five to 10 years.”

Castile, who has served as Greenville’s city manager for eight years, announced he was leaving the city in May. He has worked for the city in some capacity for the past 23 years.

He said this week he plans to take some time off to be with family and friends before pursuing “another passion.”

The city manager is Greenville’s chief executive officer who is responsible for managing the city as a whole, implementing policies approved by City Council, hiring employees, and presenting an annual budget.

Council members said Castile’s success came because he understood Greenville’s culture.

A job description on Springsted|Waters’ website said the city’s new manager will be a creative, policy-driven visionary who can anticipate issues and act strategically to meet current and future city needs. The job description said Greenville is a growing community that is experiencing some of the challenges of a much larger urban city.

“The ideal candidate is a leader who has the tenacity to work through complex, longterm, and often difficult issues and projects and the courage to make tough decisions when necessary,” the job description said. “The successful candidate must understand how to balance the expectations of an engaged citizenry in an emerging world-class destination city.”

A recruitment brochure listed the new city manager’s challenges as unprecedented growth, public transportation, aging city facilities, establishing and maintaining effective community and internal relationships, technology, Unity Park, and annexation.

Springsted|Waters is involved in city manager and city administrator searches in Asheville, N.C.; Billings, Mont.; and Grand Rapids, Mich., according to its website.

or Stan Stone, funeral service is more than a business, but a ministry.

He is honored to have the opportunity to help families work through their grief and find meaningful ways to celebrate the life of their loved one.

A manager who received his license in 2003, Stan is a graduate of Anderson University and a member of Fountain Inn Presbyterian Church. Married and the father of three girls, Stan understands what families need, and goes above and beyond expectations to ease the burden, making extra phone calls and appointments and adding special touches with pictures, music and much more. A recent letter of gratitude summed up Stan’s service focus: “To you, you were doing your job, but to me and my family, it was so much more.”

jobs downtown, said Kim Williams, existing industry manager for the Greenville Area Development Corporation.

More than 1,200 employees and employers in the 29601 area code responded to the survey that was conducted by the Greenville Chamber of Commerce, the Greenville Area Development Corporation, the Appalachian Council of Governments, and SC Works. The respondents represented 11 business sectors.

Ninety-two percent of the employees who completed the survey drive to and from work alone. Seventy-four percent have commutes

of 30 minutes or less. Of those who provided home addresses, onethird live within a half-mile of a current Greenlink bus stop. Nineteen percent are within a quarter-mile.

But 67 percent of the employees surveyed said they don’t take the bus to work because they prefer to drive. Forty-one percent said current bus routes are not convenient, and 30 percent said the frequency is not convenient. Twenty-two percent said bus hours of service are not adequate.

Sixty-four percent of employees park in an employer-paid lot. Another 20 percent pay to park in a garage or lot. Seven percent rely on on-street parking, while 4 percent use street and garage parking based on availability.

Employers said their workforces would most benefit from additional structured parking, followed by more trolley service, more frequent bus service, longer running bus service, additional surface parking, park and ride locations, and modified bus routes.

When asked how a park and ride might work, Greenlink Director of Transportation Gary Shepard said he envisioned a secure parkand-ride lot with shuttles running from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Shepard said Greenlink’s five-year transportation plan calls for increasing the frequency and number of routes. It would cost an additional $5 million in annual operating costs plus the cost of buying new buses.

SLOW&STEADY Officials say balanced growth is the key to future vitality of the city, county WORDS BY CINDY LANDRUM

G

reenville has fallen on the nation’s fastest-growingcity list, but Mayor Knox White said that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

“I’m glad to see the era of hypergrowth is slowing,” White said. “What we need is steady, moderate growth. It’s good it is being tapped down a bit.”

Greenville’s population grew 1.9 percent from July 2016 to July 2017, according to the latest U.S. Census Bureau estimate. While that rate still put Greenville ahead of fourfifths of the nation’s cities with populations of 50,000 or more, it’s significantly less than the 5.8 percent growth the city saw in 2016.

Since the last official census in 2010, the city’s population has swelled by nearly 17 percent, or just under 10,000 residents. During the same time, Greenville County’s population has swelled to more than 500,000 from just over 450,000.

The growth has presented challenges — for residents who find themselves driving on traffic-choked roads to governments that have to deal with inadequate infrastructure and louder complaints from residents.

DESIRED DESTINATION Greenville’s appearance on several “best of” lists over the past few years prompted Susan McCormick to stop on her way to Atlanta from New York last year. She was looking for a place to call home after she retired. Now, she’s looking for a place to call home here.

“I guess I’m part of the problem, or soon will be,” she said during a stop in Falls Park. “Greenville has a charm that I hadn’t seen in other cities. I just hope that people continuing to move here doesn’t mess it up.”

When she does move, she’ll become part of the trend that shows that people moving in are behind much of the population growth of Greenville, the region, and South Carolina as a whole. The Greenville-Anderson-Mauldin metropolitan statistical area showed an 8.7 percent population increase, or 71,693 residents, from 2010 to 2017.

Natural growth — births minus deaths — accounted for about one-quarter of the additional residents. The rest moved from somewhere else.

“There’s no magic gate to keep people out,” White said.

Greenville isn’t the only municipality that’s growing. All five of the other cities in the county have shown growth since the last census, including Greer, where the population has soared more than 21 percent since 2010.

Greenville Councilwoman Jil Littlejohn said the city’s growth has made it even more important to concentrate on affordable housing, something that has been a push since a 2016 study found that the city is short more than 2,500 units.

“We need to make sure there’s a space and place in the city of Greenville for everyone,” she said. “We won’t

be able to meet the economic changes and demand for jobs without having housing that’s affordable and inclusive.”

KEEPING UP Managing growth and all that goes with it has challenged local governments.

White said that includes adding green space — the biggest example of which is Unity Park, the 60-acre multimillion-dollar signature park that will be built west of downtown on the former site of the city’s public works complex

“I’m glad to see the era of hypergrowth is slowing. What we need is steady, moderate growth. It’s good it is being tapped down a bit.”

–Mayor Knox White

— and intentional development in the city’s corridors to protect neighborhoods from commercial creep.

While both a proposed (and ultimately not built) Chickfil-A restaurant on Augusta Street and a neighborhood’s successful battle to keep Walmart from building a smaller store on Church Street where apartments were ultimately built garnered headlines, White said the city has turned away other developments it thought would negatively impact neighborhoods.

“We say no to projects all the time,” he said. “There have been fast-food restaurants proposed for Augusta.”

The city is trying to address traffic on another commercial corridor, Woodruff Road, which was transformed from mostly underdeveloped land into one of the area’s busiest retail strips when it was not a part of the city limits.

“We’re building our own bypass,” White said. “That’s another good example of being as creative as we can within our limited means.”

The bypass White spoke of is the PNG Connector, a two-lane road from Woodruff Industrial Lane to Verdae Boulevard that will give drivers a way to get to popular destinations on Woodruff Road without having to actually get on Woodruff. Piedmont Natural Gas, which has a facility behind Target, told city officials it planned to build a private road to get its trucks out of its facility, and the utility asked if the city wanted to make it public and connect it with Ketron Court and Green Heron Road.

That will allow drivers to take Verdae Boulevard to the connector to get to Magnolia Park, where Costco and Cabela’s are located, and the shopping centers that contain Target, Academy Sports, Home Depot, and Trader Joe’s.

“Focusing on balanced growth will help differentiate us from other fast-growing cities,” White said.

NOT JUST THE CITY Talk about growth isn’t limited to the city, however.

The Greenville County Council recently nixed plans for a $50 million, 180-home subdivision in the Five Forks area near Simpsonville after residents voiced concern that the area’s roads could not handle the added traffic. Earlier this spring, County Council discussed possible future impact fees and a road sales tax as ways to deal with infrastructure needs caused by growth, which is equal to 22 people moving into the county every day.

Goodwill helps polish job skills for ‘returning citizens’ leaving SC prisons

By E. Richard Walton

Editor’s note: This column was submitted prior to the author’s unexpected death on July 13, 2018.

When the 2.2 million people currently in America’s jails complete their sentences, they will be called “returning citizens.”

Terms like former jailbird, ex-con, or ex-felon are passé. “Returning citizen” doesn’t sound as toxic, or as much like finger-pointing. It even suggests that some are open to giving the “returning citizen” a second chance. The newer terminology lifts the monkey from the backs of former prisoners.

About 5,000 former prisoners are expected to return to Greenville County in the next five years, according to Ginny Stroud, a director with the city of Greenville.

A returning citizen needs a job, housing, clothing, food, and a supportive family or community. That’s why Goodwill Industries of the Upstate/Midlands has entered the fray. It wrote and was awarded a $1.5 million federal grant to help returning citizens develop or polish their skills to get jobs. The program, titled “Good Start,” is expected to assist 80 to 90 people annually.

State inmates spend their last four months at the Manning Re-entry/Work Release Center in Columbia to help with their assimilation, said Robin Ebert, Good Start’s program manager. Goodwill employs counselors and instructors to help returning

citizens as they transition from incarceration to freedom.

Ebert said each returning citizen receives guidance in how to write or update a resume and tips on interviewing skills. They also learn computer skills and how to dress and answer interviewers’ questions about lengthy gaps in his or her employment history.

“It’s not easy,” Ebert said of explaining a prison stay.

The Good Start program, which kicked off a few months ago, is designed to help returning citizens realize what types of jobs they are qualified for. Goodwill knows how to assist those who need employment: Last year, the organization helped 12,152 people get jobs.

Isaiah English, a 49-year-old “returning citizen,” knows first-hand the value of this project.

“It builds self-esteem,” he said.

English said that former prisoners “need to put forth the effort. If I put forth the effort,” he said, “I get something for it.”

Goodwill has convinced bureaucrats it can help those who have earned a second chance. Ebert believes in the program and makes it clear to each returning citizen that he or she must draw from within himself or herself to be successful.

“We’re not going to do it for you,” she said. “We require that they put forth effort to the extent that they can.”

New residences. New restaurants. Same friendly community.

There’s a big, beautiful expansion about to take shape. With more independent living options, more dining, more lounges, more activity rooms, and more ways to enjoy life than ever before.

COMMUNITY VOICES Ebert said counselors don’t sugarcoat things, and assures that Goodwill will give its utmost to each person it helps.

“They put forth 100 percent, and we put forth 200 percent,” she said.

Ironically, returning citizens are helped by the current low unemployment rate.

Simply put, there aren’t enough workers to fill both skilled and unskilled jobs, such as in retail, the service industry, or some factories. Recently, there were 6.6 million jobs unfilled and the unemployment rate seemed stuck at 3.3 percent. S.C. Gov. Henry McMaster said recently that there are 60,000 unfilled jobs in the Palmetto State.

Finding a job is a major issue, said Jerry Blassingame, founder of Soteria Community Development Corp., which was created to support former prisoners.

Those familiar with prison-reform trends say that 70 percent of returning citizens who don’t find work return to prison within five years. Blassingame said that locating housing, clothing, and ample support is critical for former prisoners, and Soteria CDC provides all three, plus job assistance. And Soteria CDC isn’t by itself in Greenville, say those familiar with prison trends.

This spring, Greenville Mayor Knox White issued a proclamation titled “Second Chance Month,” which was published on the city’s website.

He highlighted “the tireless work carried out by the Greenville Re-entry Coalition,” a nonprofit that assists returning citizens.

White has said he thinks the city should establish a returning citizen program in the city.

It wasn’t just any night for Octavia Frazile; it was the night she graduated from Greenville Health System’s Medical Experience Academy and received a $5,000 scholarship to continue her education to become a nurse — a “secondcareer” decision made after seeing how compassionately nurses cared for her dying grandmother.

And it wasn’t just any night for me. It was the night that with great emotion I awarded Octavia the inaugural Robyn Zimmerman Scholarship. Three years ago, in celebration of my retirement from GHS as public and community relations director, my colleagues and friends graciously made contributions in my honor in support of the Medical Experience (MedEx) Academy. Both then and now, I am still so very overwhelmed and humbled.

Because I also served as an adjunct professor at Greenville Technical College and the University of South Carolina Upstate during my time at GHS, we included in the scholarship criteria that the funds be used to build the next generation of health care workers by giving this scholarship to deserving MedEx graduates enrolled in either college.

Octavia became the perfect candidate. After her sophomore year at Greenville Tech, she plans to transfer to USC Upstate and complete her nursing degree with dreams of becoming a certified registered nurse anesthetist.

I cannot imagine a more deserving student than Octavia for this first gift. She embodies all that is good about the health care profession. Her intellect and drive are surpassed only by her heart to serve others. A mother of three boys under the age of 10, she is married to a Marine who recently completed a 10-month active-duty deployment to Afghanistan. She earned a 4.0 GPA at Greenville Tech while balancing classes, MedEx, and caring for her family during her husband’s deployment.

I am also so proud of what MedEx has become. It began eight years ago in 2010 with only 12 students from two high schools. It has now grown to more than 170 students from 24 high schools and 30 universities. Through innovative career pipelines like MedEx, GHS is not only making a difference in students’ lives, it’s making a difference in the lives of all of us who may someday receive care from these future nurses, doctors, and other health care professionals.

On that wonderful night at the MedEx graduation, it was exciting for me, her family, and the other graduates to see Octavia’s face light up with utter surprise as we announced her scholarship.

I know her grandmother would be so proud of her and extremely happy about her decision to be a nurse.

[MedEx] is making a difference in the lives of all of us who may someday receive care from these future nurses, doctors, and other health care professionals.

Robyn Zimmerman, the former public and community relations director for Greenville Health System, is now an executive communication strategist with Crawford Strategy. For more information on the Zimmerman Scholarship or MedEx, visit ghsgiving.org/donate-now or hsc.ghs.org/medex/.

The Key to Unlocking Your Potential

Functional fitness aims to improve your sport and your life

By Leigh Savage You may be able to jog 3 miles, but can you get down on the floor and then get back up? Samantha Smith, owner of Greenville Fitness & Rehab, says functional fitness can be the key to not only unlocking athletic potential but also making daily life easier and more enjoyable.

“People will spend a lot of time in the gym, pushing big, heavy weights or spending time on machines, but it doesn’t necessarily mimic day-to-day life,” she said. Functional-fitness exercises are designed to make it easier to do any activity, from weeding your garden to playing hide-and-seek with your kids or grandkids.

Smith, a personal trainer, massage therapist, fitness instructor, and avid cyclist, said functional fitness classes typically use body weight to do exercises that make life easier and make people less prone to injury. Participants can be ultra-fit athletes or those who have never exercised before, including seniors or those who are recovering from surgery or injury.

Smith teaches a weekly class at Carolina Triathlon and sees mountain bikers, high school athletes and their parents, and exercise newbies all looking to strengthen the body at the foundational level.

Because most of the movements are simple, participants

can do them on the same day as other exercises and not be worn out, she said. Movements like multidirectional lunges or balance work help train the body to move sideways, backward, or diagonally, and help build balance by taxing the body equally on both sides. T:9.75”

Instead of focusing on one body part, functional exercises tend to use many, working the back, legs, glutes, and more in a coordinated way.

Smith likes to focus on core-specific exercises — and not the six-pack abs most people think of.

“The core is made up of nine specific structures in the deepest part of the body, and when they are worked they form a very good foundation for functional strength and injury prevention,” she said. “That six-pack is superficial. You can do crunches until the cows come home and still have a weak core.”

At her location near Cherrydale, Smith and her staff work one-on-one with clients to achieve their specific goals and address their particular weaknesses — often weak glutes that stem from days spent sitting. Once people are back to enjoying being active in their daily lives, the world opens up to them as far as additional activities they can pursue, she said.

“If you can prepare your body to be bulletproof on a dayto-day basis and have that strong foundation, you can build on that” in activities such as biking, running, tennis, or golf, she said. “People will start a program like this, and then they’ll realize how much it helps with the sport they love. I love keeping people doing what they love.”

Harold Troy Cox

October 31, 1924 – July 14, 2018 Harold Troy Cox, 93, husband of the late Helen Page Cox, died Saturday, July 14, 2018. Born October 31, 1924 in Greenville SC, he was a son of the late Gustus “Gus” Monroe Cox and Ollie Iola Massingille Cox. He graduated from Westville High School. Mr. Cox was a US Army Air Corp Veteran of WWII and longtime member of Augusta Road Baptist Church where he held numerous positions within the church, including being recognized as Deacon Emeritus. His involvement in other local organizations included the Greenville Exchange Club and American Legion. Harold retired from G. M. Cox & Company which was originally started in 1919 by his father, Gus Cox, in Greenville SC. After the death of his father in 1963, he and his brother Monroe Cox continued the business until 1995.

Harold is survived by numerous nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his siblings: Robert Frank Cox, Taula Mae Cox, Hazel Odessa Cox, Evelyn Cox Young, William Marshall Cox, James Monroe Cox, and Frances Cox Hamilton.

A Funeral service was held at 11:00 am on Wednesday, July 18, 2018 at Augusta Road Baptist Church in Greenville. Visitation was held prior to the service. Burial followed the service at Graceland West, Greenville SC. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Augusta Road Baptist Church, 1823 Augusta St, Greenville, SC 29605. A memorial message may be sent to the family by visiting www. mackeymortuary.com

Bob Clark Robert Earl (Bob) Clark of Greenville, SC, passed away on Sunday, July 8, 2018, at the age of 88.

Bob was born in Fort Fairfield, Maine, to the late Clarence and Gladys Clark, and grew up in Perham (Aroostook County), Maine, the second of five children. There he learned his work ethic from his father on the family potato farm; and at age 16, he became one of the youngest pilots in Maine.

In 1951, Bob married his childhood sweetheart – literally the girl next door – Charlene Hope Conroy, and began their 67-year journey together.

A hard worker with leadership ability, Bob served as a lead machinist for Pratt & Whitney Aircraft, a lubrication engineer for Mobil Oil Corporation, and eventually partnered with Charlene for a successful real estate career of over 35 years.

A passionate follower of Jesus since his early 20’s, Bob never missed an opportunity to talk about His Savior to anyone within the sound of his voice or the reach of his smile. As a member of Fellowship Greenville for nearly 40 years, he served as a deacon, usher,

choir member, and greeter. For many years he led a weekly Bible study at Perry Correctional Facility, pointing prisoners to freedom in Christ.

His other great passion was connected to his role as a Trustee for the Greenville County Library Commission, which he served for over 15 years.

Hundreds of people were invited to “go get a library card” through Bob’s pleasant persistence.

A faithful husband, loving father, and delighted grandfather, Bob is survived by his wife, Charlene; his children, Lyndon Clark, Donna (and David) Aprati, Paul (and Lisa) Clark, and Wenda (and Jim) Starr; 9 grandchildren, and 8 great grandchildren. He is also survived by 3 siblings: Elaine Bridge, Maxine Hybarger and Ed Clark; (pre-deceased

by Louise Jensen).

The family requests that gifts in his memory be given to Miracle Hill Ministries (www.miraclehill.org) or the Alzheimer’s Association (www.alz.org/sc).

Rebuild Upstate hopes to repair 200 homes in 2018, a 25 percent increase from last year. The organization has more than 1,100 homes on the waitlist. The repairs include roofing, flooring, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and decks. Rebuild Upstate uses a model of matching volunteer groups to complete many of its projects, maximizing its resources and engaging the community.

Rebuild Upstate invites anyone interested in learning more about affordable housing preservation to attend Wake Up With Rebuild 2018 from 7:30-9 a.m. Thursday, Sept.

Spinx Charity Classic Golf Tournament raises more than $100,000 for local charities Spinx hosted its 18th annual Charity Classic Golf Tournament on May 8. More than 300 golfers gathered on three courses in the Upstate and collectively raised more than $100,000. The five beneficiaries are the American Red Cross, The Children’s Museum of the Upstate, Loaves & Fishes, Pendleton Place, and Safe Harbor.

“This fundraiser is important to everyone at Spinx, and I want to personally thank all of our business partners who supported this year’s tournament plus the staff and volunteers that worked behind the scenes to make this another successful event,” said

Stewart Spinks, chairman of the Spinx company and Spinks Family Foundation. The tournament was held at Greenville Country Club — Chanticleer, Cliffs Keowee, and Cliffs Valley courses. Proceeds will be presented to the beneficiaries to enable them to meet the needs of many Upstate families and children. To date, the Spinx golf tournament has raised $1.3 million to help fund 25 charitable organizations.

Milliken & Co. donates $330,000 to United Way of the Piedmont with Milliken Gives Milliken & Co. has given United Way of the Piedmont a donation of $330,000. The gift comprises pledges from associates based at Milliken’s global headquarters in Spartanburg and a matching gift from the Milliken Foundation. “Milliken Gives unifies the spirit of giving within Milliken by fostering a legacy of community partnership through various avenues of impact,” Harold Chandler, chairman, president, and CEO for Milliken & Co., said in a news release. “To see the generosity of our associates manifest in volunteer hours and monetary gifts reaffirms our long-held belief in the shared benefit of being an organization committed to corporate citizenship.”

Milliken Gives features a multipronged approach to encourage associates to donate through an annual corporate giving campaign, volunteer hours, and community support drives held at Milliken. “Milliken’s commitment to United Way of the Piedmont exemplifies what it means to fight for the education, financial stability, and health of every member of our community,” said Paige Stephenson, United Way of the Piedmont president and CEO. The annual corporate giving campaign is a centerpiece of Milliken Gives. Associates can designate their funds either to specific organizations supported by United Way or to United Way of the Piedmont’s Community Impact Fund. All monies matched by the Milliken Foundation are invested directly into the Spartanburg County community.

Splash-worthy Updates Answers by M. TODD EDWARDS | Director of Sales and Business Development for Genco Pools & Spas of Simpsonville, Inc.

Pools are a welcome retreat from the heat of summer, but even they can look wilted after years of family fun. What can you do to refresh your pool so it will be more functional and attractive? Let’s hear from an expert who not only digs new pools but also refreshes them to add years of enjoyment.

Q: When is it time to consider updating your pool’s surface?

A: Many factors can contribute, regardless of whether the pool is vinyl, plaster, or even tile. Age and chemical wear are the two primary causes for degradation, but sometimes it’s just aesthetics that drives the change. Fading and etching are the telltale signs, along with a rough, sandy surface for gunite pools or brittle vinyl that has lost its supple flexibility. For vinyl pools, most owners change their liner after from seven to 10 years while gunite-pool owners see a longer life span, usually from 10 to 15 years. Ceramic waterline tile can be replaced in a gunite pool without re-plastering the entire surface of the pool if the owner wants to jazz things up a bit, but it is more cost effective to do both at the same time.

Q: What options are available for updating the surrounding deck?

A: That depends a lot on the existing deck materials and condition, but generally a variety of surface applications can be applied to improve the look of a dated wooden deck. Most surface applications, however, require regular maintenance and sealing adding to the total cost of the investment year over year.

Cement, natural stone, travertine, and composite-paver systems are the better choice; both for their beautiful appearance and minimal maintenance.

Q: Should I consider updating my filtration equipment?

A: Absolutely! So many advances in technology have been made for swimming pool filtration systems it’s incredible. Variable-speed pumps will save you a bundle on electricity, along with low-voltage LED underwater lights and saline disinfectant systems that make chlorine from sodium chloride (table salt). The operating savings puts money directly back in your pocket and can, over time, pay you back in full for the upgrade.

COLUMBIA'S REAL WORK BRINGS MELODIC ROCK TO RADIO ROOM FOR EP RELEASE SHOW VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER

vharris@communityjournals.com

Perhaps it shouldn’t be surprising that the new self-titled EP by the Columbia band Real Work sounds so polished and professional. The group has a bit of a secret weapon in that area: Singer/guitarist Kenny McWilliams has spent a lot of time over the past few years making other bands and artists, including Danielle Howle, Alarm Drum, and Finnegan Bell, sound great as a producer/engineer at Columbia’s Archer Avenue Studio. His work with groups like All Get Out and Valley Maker, for example, helped them create atmospheric-but-immediate music, whether the genre was punk-pop or ethereal folk or straight-ahead rock.

Real Work’s music is polished, well-constructed, tight melodic rock that’s difficult to classify as “indie” even though it was recorded without the benefit of a major label. The sound is defined by a thick, shimmering guitar tone, propulsive rhythms (courtesy of former Needtobreathe drummer Joe Stillwell), and seamless vocal harmonies that create melodies and countermelodies on top of one another. In a perfect world, it’s what would be on rock radio these days.

Real Work began when McWilliams teamed with an old friend and bandmate of his, bassist and vocalist Chad Rochester. The two had previously worked together in a band called Baumer, and they were both looking to start something new.

“We’d worked on a couple of different

projects with other friends, but this was the first time the two of us thought maybe we could work on a project alone,” Rochester says. “We were demoing and writing in the studio, and it turned into something that was clearly going to be a full band if we were going to do this.”

Given the amount of time McWilliams had spent behind the boards watching other bands work, he knew early on what he wanted and didn’t want to build Real Work’s sound.

“There were a couple of elements I was looking for once we started to write these songs and figure stuff out,” McWilliams says. “I chased this specific guitar sound to the extent that I bought this Gibson hollow-body guitar and an amp just for this band, just for that tone.”

Rochester and McWilliams had the skill, and the studio, to record the guitars, bass, and keyboards themselves, but they weren’t as skilled on drums, and McWilliams was adamant about not using sampled percussion. So they reached out to one of the best drummers they knew, not sure what he would actually think of their songs.

“I think as soon as we started recording and realized it was going to be more than just an ambient project, we immediately started thinking about drummers who could come in,” Rochester says. “We were already good friends with Joe, but it was kind of an intimidating thing to say, ‘Hey, here are these demos, would you be willing to come and play on them?’ because of his experience in Needto-

Real Work had to wait about three years after its formation before the band was able to release an EP and begin touring. Photo provided

breathe, and because we respect him as a musician. But when we sent him the demos, he really liked them, which was kind of validating for us.”

Once Stillwell manned the kit, Real Work changed into something a lot bigger and more powerful than either of its cofounders anticipated.

“The great part was that when Joe came in, he added his own energy; he took the parts we wrote and built on them, and made them something really special,” Rochester says. “After he tracked the songs, we asked him if he’d be willing to play live, because we were really excited about it.”

Stillwell would have to wait awhile, though, because it’s been about three years since Real Work actually started working. Due to busy schedules, the band hasn’t been able to get the EP out and tour (with lead guitarist Christian

Tyler and keyboard player Brewer Eberly added to the mix) until recently. It’ll play a release show at the Radio Room in Greenville on Friday.

“We’ve been sitting on these songs for a long time,” McWilliams says, “but starting to play live shows has been a breath of fresh air. We’re really happy for people to finally hear the whole thing.”

GLOW LYRIC THEATRE’S ‘IN THE HEIGHTS’ IS A TIMELY PRODUCTION AS US IMMIGRATION DEBATE CONTINUES EMILY PIETRAS | MANAGING EDITOR

epietras@communityjournals.com

When Glow Lyric Theatre’s Christian Elser and Jenna Tamisiea chose the theme “Demand the Right to Dream” for the theater’s upcoming 2018 season, the inclusion of the word “dream” was intentional.

“It’s a purposely loaded word,” says Elser, the theater’s executive director.

And it also becomes deliberately political when considering “In the Heights,” one of the three shows Glow will produce this summer.

Featuring music and lyrics by Lin-Manuel Miranda, “In the Heights” portrays three days in New York City’s Washington Heights, a predominantly Hispanic-American neighborhood. Alongside musical numbers that fuse rap, hip-hop, and salsa, the production weaves together the stories of the community’s residents — many of them first-generation immigrants.

Elser and Tamisiea selected “In the Heights” earlier this year when the uncertain status of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program was a central focus of the immigration debate in the U.S., Elser says. (DACA allows young immigrants who arrived illegally in the United States as children to remain in the country, and many refer to those who would benefit from the program as “Dreamers.”)

While the future of DACA remains unresolved, immigration continues to be a hot-button issue across the country.

The use of theater to confront the current political climate and produce socially relevant art are central aims of Glow, and staging “In the Heights” aligns with that mission. Tamisiea, who is directing, hopes the show will lead audiences to “see firstgeneration immigrants as people with dreams and aspirations.”

Crystal Marie Stewart, a member of the ensemble, says “In the Heights” portrays “universal” experiences — “child-parent relationships, falling in love” — that can help bridge cultural gaps.

“I think it will surprise people how much of themselves they also see in it,” she says.

Ediberto Ortega, who plays Usnavi, the show’s central character who owns a local bodega and hopes to one day return to his birthplace of the Dominican Republic, believes the show can help remind people of what they ultimately have in common.

“We have an issue in this country right

now where most of the people in this country are afraid of people who are different,” he says, “and I think … that when people see this show, some of that fear is going to be stripped away a little bit, because people are going to realize … that yeah, everyone’s different, but we truly are the same. We have different ways of culture. We have different ways of doing things. But we all kind of want the same things.”

For Ortega, “In the Heights” provides an opportunity to “make people reflect on their own opinions.” For example, the song “Paciencia y Fe,” sung by the neighborhood’s beloved matriarch “Abuela” Claudia, carries real-world relevance, Ortega says.

“It’s so important … because of what’s happening today with immigrants in this country,” he says. “That song takes you through a whole life of a woman who has worked her butt off after coming from such disaster, you know, back home and really found a home in America, regardless of the people who didn’t want her there. I think that’s a beautiful song. It’s very powerful.”

The ongoing immigration debate is a

subject that “hits close to home” for the cast during rehearsals, says Katerina McCrimmon, who plays Nina, a student returning to Washington Heights for the summer following her first year at Stanford University.

“It’s not something that’s at a great distance; it’s something that’s happening now,” she says.

“These are real people with real stories and real wants and real desires who are all trying to prove something in one way or another. And that’s how people are relating to this show,” McCrimmon adds. “It’s not only because Latin people are going to see this show, and they’re going to be like, ‘Oh, these are people like me.’ It’s going to be people from all walks of life.”

AMAZING GRACE

David Drake, circa 1800 to circa 1870 storage vessel, 1857 alkaline-glazed stoneware inscribed: Aug 16, 1857, Dave I wonder where is all my relation Friendship to all and every nation

I wonder where is all my relation Friendship to all and every nation Experience the powerful story of David Drake, an enslaved African-American who worked as a “turner” in several pottery manufacturing facilities in South Carolina’s Edgefield District. Drake, who was known only as “Dave” before 1865, learned to both read and write, dangerous and even illegal skills for a slave to possess. Drake openly expressed his literacy by inscribing original poems on many of the utilitarian works he created.

The identities of millions of enslaved African-Americans, whose talents and labor supported the development of American culture, were overlooked or disregarded by recorded history. Through the modest wares handcrafted and inscribed by David Drake, at least one remarkable voice remains to speak on behalf of the lives and stories irretrievably lost.

The GCMA is home to the largest institutional collection of pottery vessels by David Drake, including single-handle jugs, storage jars, pitchers, a syrup jug, and a rare butter churn.

GREENVILLE JAZZ COLLECTIVE BIG BAND'S FIRST ALBUM SET FOR FALL RELEASE WORDS BY VINCENT HARRIS

I

Brad Jepson, trombone player of the Greenville Jazz Collective.

| PHOTO BY WILL CROOKS

t must have been quite a sight: All the members of a 17-piece big band, gathered together at Sit-N-Spin recording studio in downtown Greenville, blasting out favorites by Count Basie and Thad Jones, as well as a lot of their own compositions. That’s what Upstate jazz fans have to look forward to when the Greenville Jazz Collective Big Band’s first-ever album comes out in the fall.

The collective was formed in 2012 by a group of local musicians (guitarist Matt Dingledine, bassist Shannon Hoover, trombone player Brad Jepson, drummer Justin Watt, pianist Keith Davis, and saxophone player Matt Olson) with the goal of raising awareness and educating people about jazz music in general, and the jazz scene in the Upstate specifically.

It has evolved into a nonprofit that helps create small group ensembles for high school students, puts on free events for the public, and provides the area with innovative jazz events. But at its heart, its members are musicians, and musicians love to play. As the collective expanded to include a big band, a Dixieland ensemble, and a contemporary quintet, they set a goal to document the music they were making.

“It’s important for the community and the musicians to have some kind of recording out every year,” Jepson says. “It motivates us to write new music and rehearse hard, and it’s something we can present when people give us donations to show them that we’ve got something really good going on here.”

The collective decided to start with the big band because it was one of the longesttenured ensembles it had (around four years old), with the biggest songbook (more than 100 tunes). It’s hoping to have a release by the Dixieland ensemble out in 2019, followed by the quintet in 2020.

Perhaps the most exciting aspect of the upcoming album, which is as-yet untitled and should comprise 11 cuts, is that most of the selections were composed by members of the band, including sax player Tom Wright and guitarist Adam Knight.

“We have people writing with this band in mind who know what our strengths are,” Jepson says. “It’s all geared towards who’s in the band, what’s going to make us sound most like ourselves. In most cases when we perform, we’re doing music that we write, so we wanted the recording to reflect that.”

The album, which the collective is hoping to release in October to coincide with its performances at the Peace Center and at Fall for Greenville, was largely recorded live with all of the musicians in the same room, something that Hoover still sounds surprised about when the subject comes up.

“It took some heavy planning, but we got the whole 17-piece band in there and tracked 11 tunes,” he says. “We were doing live takes, so we had to be well-rehearsed.

We had a couple of gigs leading up to the sessions, and we had three days of recording to get it done, so the biggest challenge was getting the music together so we could do it. We had three takes of each tune and picked the best one.”

It would’ve been possible to have the musicians record separately, but Jepson says that’s not how the best jazz music works.

“Jazz is so interactive,” Jepson says. “We wanted the rhythm section to be able to respond to what the soloist was doing. In order to have that vibe, it was vital that we do it all live. It’s like a live album recorded in a studio.”

A few years ago, it would’ve been impossible to fit the GJC Big Band into SitN-Spin all at the same time, but after the studio moved from 730 S. Pleasantburg Drive to a much larger space behind the Warehouse Theatre, it could accommodate bigger groups, and Sit-N-Spin owner Matt Morgan, who also serves as a producer and engineer, had the room tuned up just right.

“Matt’s a true professional,” Jepson says.

“He did a lot of research to figure out the microphones, and we learned a lot together. It’s kind of unbelievable that we had all 17 people in the same room, but we’re really proud of it.”

If you’re looking for an evening of laughs with an underlying current of social commentary, then check out Glow Lyric Theatre’s upcoming comedic opera “H.M.S. Pinafore.”

The production by Arthur Sullivan and W.S. Gilbert tackles the issue of class structure in 19th century England through a series of love triangles. But instead of an intense analysis, it is an uproarious comedy from which no one is safe.

The show looks at several relationships that are not socially acceptable because they violate the day’s conventions concerning social class and stature. In classic Gilbert and Sullivan style, there are several storylines happening at once that come together against all odds.

While class structure was very well-defined when the show was written in 1878, Glow artistic director and co-founder Jenna Tamisiea works to ensure that each joke is relevant, funny, and timely.

Gilbert and Sullivan “parody government. That is something we are still doing,” Tamisiea says. “Look at [‘Saturday

Night Live’] or Stephen Colbert or any of those comedies. It is just plain funny to make fun of government. That’s just what G&S did then. It is amazing how the themes and jokes in the show carry over contemporarily. It’s funny because we are still dealing with it now.”

Tamisiea explains that the show tackles class structure, and even though we don’t have a structured class system today, classes are still defined by socioeconomic and racial factors, and privilege creates a silent class system.

Because “H.M.S. Pinafore” was written in the 1800s, no one owns the rights to the show, meaning that any changes can be made to update it. Glow hopes to make opera and operetta accessible to everyone, and one of the ways the group does that is to connect it to current events in the community or country, Tamisiea says. They also choose shows based on what they think will resonate best with the audience in view of current events.

“The show lends itself to updating the lyrics and jokes,” says Sara Magun, who sings the role of Buttercup. “They make sure to add modern-day references so that the audience can really connect with it,

07.20.2018 | GREENVILLE JOURNAL | 37

COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM just like they did when it was written.”

Intertwining the worlds of politics and comedy can be challenging. The cast and crew walk a fine line to ensure the show doesn’t become over-politicized to the point of polarization. “We want people to be receptive to the message,” Tamisiea says. “We don’t want them to feel like they are being lectured or that we are pushing an agenda.

“It is so nice to do G&S because they take shots at both sides,” Tamisiea says.

“No one is immune to poking fun at. It is nice to just be able to share a laugh with everyone. If we can share those laughs, then we can move forward together, and that is what we’re trying to do.”

The show takes a crack at the idea that “everyone is equal, except I’m better than you,” Tamisiea explains. “We see all sides of the political spectrum say those things.

It is incredibly pervasive in our society right now.”

Despite the changes made to ensure the show is current, relevant, and hilarious, Tamisiea says that about 98 percent of the show is true to the original.

The most important aspect of any Gilbert and Sullivan show is that it is gut-wrenchingly funny. Magun and other actors rave about the rehearsals and the creative license that Tamisiea allows them as actors.

They constantly ad-lib and leave rehearsals with pains in their sides from laughter.

Tamisiea loves allowing the cast this artistic freedom but maintains that she wants to stay true to the original.

“There are so many ways to make it fresh and new while still paying homage and respect to the traditions of the piece. It is so inherently funny,” Tamisiea says, and notes that changing too much would take away from the comedic license and laughter the original cast shared while rehearsing.

“H.M.S. Pinafore” addresses real issues head-on and honestly, while ensuring that no one is spared from its political jokes and unique comedy. Jeremiah Johnson, who plays Captain Corcoran, explains, “The thing with G&S is no matter how campy it gets, there has to be an underlying layer of honesty or it reads as fake.”

FEEL THE BURN WORDS BY ARIEL TURNER

| PHOTOS BY WILL CROOKS

When Upstate resident Jason Tate was searching for a name for his new super-hotpepper farm in Mauldin, he came across a Vietnam War acronym that refers to acquiescing to a repeated, adverse situation: BOHICA: Bend Over, Here It Comes Again.

Maybe that phrase doesn’t communicate the wholesome sentiment normally equated with a family-run farm, but it happens to correlate with the name of the Fort Mill company that developed the current reigning world’s hottest pepper – PuckerButt Pepper Co. – and the occasional undesirable intestinal reaction to ingesting just one of the insanely hot Carolina Reaper peppers.

“I can take it, but I’ve gotten to the point now where I don’t really eat ’em that much,” Tate says of the Carolina Reapers.

“The aftereffects are just killin’ me as I get older.”

“Bohica” sounding somewhat tropical was also a plus, Tate says. Thus, the name Bohica Pepper Hut was born for the halfacre farm on Tate’s residential property where he now grows more than 200 vari-

eties of the hottest of the hot peppers, including Carolina Reapers, 7 Pots, Bhuts, and Scotch Bonnets, that he ships all over the country and the world for use as much for culinary ingredients for hot sauces and salsas as for physical pranks and eating contests.

“I’ve always liked hot stuff and salsa,” Tate says. “Just grew up eatin’ hot food all my life.”

Case in point, he once stumbled upon a Fall for Greenville jalapeno-eating contest and without any pregaming won second place for downing 14 raw peppers.

Several years ago, Tate came across a salsa recipe of his uncle’s and started making it for friends and family, and people liked it. He initially planned to grow hot peppers, thinking he’d use them for a salsamaking business.

Tate, whose day job is in the credit department at Mount Vernon Mills, then began looking for his current Mauldin property, which is only a mile away from his office.

“I looked for a place with a good oppor-

Jason Tate’s Bohica Pepper Hut produces some of the world’s hottest peppers tunity for a garden that got a lot of sun, and luckily I found this place about three years ago,” he says.

But then his plans changed.

“I just kinda stumbled into it,” he says.

“I was gonna make a salsa company. It just got kinda hard to jump through all the hoops of making salsa, and I had the peppers growing.”

So he decided to see if he could sell the peppers online. He started out selling the seeds he harvested from peppers he had grown and dried, and then last year he started selling the peppers. Both were even more successful than he expected.

He grew 50 varieties last year, selling about 7,500 peppers total during the July to December harvesting season. He has since expanded the farm to include 200 varieties, some of which he hasn’t even tasted yet, with a sales projection of 50,000-100,000 peppers based on each plant’s producing about 250 peppers throughout the growing season.

“It’s just me right now,” he says. “I’m gonna need some help.”

Tate has two sons, ages 15 and 16, who will be able to help harvest while they’re on summer break, and thanks to a timed drip system throughout the 1,500-square-foot side garden and the 500-square-foot rear raised beds, watering and fertilizing are taken care of automatically.

Near-future goals include adding additional raised beds along the rear property line and obtaining USDA organic certification. Tate says his gardening practices are

already organic, but he wants the official credentials as he grows his business. The two- to five-year plan is to find a 5- to 10acre piece of land to farm, and eventually circle back to the culinary side and develop a hot sauce line.

JUST HOW HOT IS A CAROLINA REAPER? Ed Currie, the founder, president, mad scientist, and chef of PuckerButt Pepper Co. near Rock Hill, created Smokin’ Ed’s Carolina Reaper, which measures more than 1.5 million on the Scoville Heat Unit Scale and was awarded the Guinness World Record in November 2013.

The Scoville scale is a measurement of the spiciness or heat of chili peppers or other spicy foods, as reported in Scoville Heat Units (SHU), a function of capsaicin concentration. Capsaicin is one of many related pungent compounds found in chili peppers, collectively called capsaicinoids.

For comparison, a jalapeno measures a mere 5,000 on the scale, with habaneros registering 150,000. Both are commonly used in Mexican and South American cuisine and are often considered too hot to eat.

Her brother, chef Alex George of neighboring GB&D, will now expand his business into the old space.

Meat in the middle A new butcher named Revival Butchery has rather quietly opened in the Village of West Greenville at 1286 Pendleton St. in the same space as Naked Pasta, and has quite a wide variety of sausages already available.

James Times III, the lead singer and focal point of Who’s Bad: The Ultimate Michael Jackson Experience, is excellent at his job. He can handle the vocals, pinpoint-precision dance moves, and the moonwalk of The Gloved One with an uncanny flair, and anyone going to see him take on the King of Pop will enjoy himself. But Who’s Bad is a band, a group that can play 30 or so of Jackson’s greatest hits and make them sound like you’re listening to the radio. Perhaps that’s one of the reasons this particular tribute act has been going strong for 15 years. In fact, Who’s Bad founder and longtime saxophonist/keyboard player Vamsi Tadepalli says the musicians came before the Michael. “The band actually didn’t have a Michael at first,” he says. “You’d think we found the Michael first and then formed the band around him, but it was actually the other way around. We formed the band from people who were interested in playing the music of Michael Jackson, and then it was a matter of finding a frontman. I think that’s why we’ve been able to stay popular all this time.” –Vincent Harris FRI

If there’s a phrase that any band probably would rather not have applied to a new album, it’s “long-awaited.” But it took four years for the Charlotte, N.C., quartet Junior Astronomers to muster a follow-up to their 2013 album, “Dead Nostalgia.” That album was a 12-song slab of passionate, angular indie-rock that never seemed to let its guard up. Singer Terrence Richard put his voice through the wringer seemingly in every performance, howling with intense emotion over a rolling storm of thrashing guitars and shifting tempos. There seemed to be only one way the Astronomers knew how to play: with every ounce of their collective being, every second. That debut garnered enough buzz to keep the band on the road for much of the four-year interval between “Dead Nostalgia” and last year’s “Body Language,” which kept the intensity just as high but was almost a concept album, taking on Richard’s feelings about his home city and its quick evolution. Richard sings about wanting more time, of being torn between leaving and staying, and wondering why things are changing so quickly. –Vincent Harris percent of proceeds from sales going to benefit Greenville County Animal Care’s mission of building a no-kill community.

Gottrocks | 200 Eisenhower Drive | 9 p.m. | $12

It’s tough to describe the blend of world-music percussion, progressive-metal crunch, and instrumental prowess that the New York trio Consider the Source create. It’s even harder to believe when you listen to their music that there are three people making it (though guitarist Gabriel Marin does wield a fretless double-neck guitar).

Luckily, drummer Jeff Mann says the band has created a handy phrase to explain what it does.

“We’ve come up with a tagline: Middle-Eastern sci-fi fusion,” Mann says. “It’s fusion in a true sense because the guys are into world music, rock, metal jazz improvisation, and funk. It’s a mashup of everything we can throw in there. Overall the vibe we’re trying to give off is cinematic; we’re trying to create a mental picture.”

It might not seem like prog-rock and world-music have much in common, but Mann says the connection is often in the rhythms. “Western music is usually in three or four time,” he says, “but the prog stuff has a lot of different time signatures, and we found that it was the same when we listened to music from different cultures.” –Vincent Harris

Dance Theatre of Harlem

Peace Concert Hall | 300 S. Main St. 8 p.m. | $25-$55 A singular presence in the ballet world, Dance Theatre of Harlem tours internationally, presenting a powerful vision for ballet in the 21st century. Now celebrating its 50th anniversary, the multi-ethnic company performs a forward-thinking repertoire that includes treasured classics and neoclassical works by George Balanchine and resident choreographer Robert Garland, as well as innovative contemporary works that use the language of ballet to celebrate African American culture. Founded in 1969 by Arthur Mitchell and Karel Shook as an affirmation of the power of art to transform, the Dance Theatre of Harlem company — comprised at that time of African American artists barred from U.S. ballet companies because of the color of their skin — became an expression of human excellence that broke down barriers and inspired millions. The evening’s program will include Valse Fantaisie (George Balanchine), This Bitter Earth (Christopher Wheeldon), Return (Robert Garland), and a new work by Claudia Schreier.
