Remembering Purple Heart Day By Doug Greenlaw

I think about my two Purple Hearts quite often. Thoughts and experiences in my daily life often trigger the remembrance of my days in Vietnam in 1967 and 1968 when I was wounded in combat on two separate occasions, initially as a young 1st Lieutenant Infantry Platoon leader and later a Company Commander. At the age of 23, I was the “old man.” The most populated age in the Vietnam War — and most wars — was 18. We were young, so young. But I guess it takes the bravado of the young to do the things that war demands. Most American citizens have heard of the Purple Heart medal, but they do not have knowledge of its meaning and history. The Purple Heart medal is the oldest medal in U.S. history. Gen. George Washington created the medal for heroism in combat during the Revolutionary War. As time passed, the Purple Heart was officially given to those in the military in the name of the president of the United States who were wounded or killed while serving in combat against the enemy of our great nation. Gen. Douglas MacArthur was the person who developed the modern design we know today. He enlisted the Washington Commission of Fine Arts to redesign the Purple Heart medal exhibiting the golden bust and profile of George Washington.

Murphy received the Distinguished Service Cross, Bronze Star, and Purple Heart, along with Belgian and French awards. In addition, while wounded, Murphy received our nation’s highest award for valor, earning the Medal of Honor for singlehandedly holding off an entire German company of 250 soldiers. When the American hero returned home, he embarked upon a 20-year career as a successful Hollywood actor. Ironically, after all of that combat, Murphy was killed in a private airplane crash at the age of 45. So in honor of Murphy and all those who were wounded in battle, and those who will one day be, let’s not forget Aug. 7, Purple Heart Day, each and every year. Please remember those in the military that shed their blood on foreign ground in the defense of our wonderful country.

FIGHT AT COUNCIL SQUARE A tumultuous County Council strips Meadows, Dill of their chairmanships

“You can’t just keep on breaking the rules and nobody say anything. Just not the way it works.” RUDOLPH BELL | STAFF

rbell@communityjournals.com

Nine members of Greenville County Council have moved to marginalize two of their council colleagues amid ongoing conflict related to two new fees and a lawsuit brought against the council by three of its own members. Council Chairman Butch Kirven, citing his powers as chairman, stripped councilmen Willis Meadows and Joe Dill of their respective chairmanships. Meadows previously headed the Finance Committee and Dill the Planning and Development Committee. Meadows and Dill are among three council members who filed a lawsuit against Greenville County and Greenville County Council over a recent vote involving the imposition of fees. Councilman Mike Barnes is also a plaintiff in the pending lawsuit, but he did not have a committee chairmanship to lose. Kirven said he acted with the blessing of eight other council members. They are Xanthene Norris, Sid Cates, Rick Roberts, Bob Taylor, Liz Seman, Ennis Fant, Lynn Ballard, and Fred Payne. The unusual move was expected after Kirven and his eight allies on council voted July 18 to give him power to determine the Finance chairman, a power he already had in regard to council’s other standing committees. In a memo announcing the changes, Kirven said council had become “infected by discord and dissension.” “The source of the problem is the failure of some council members to work with others constructively and in good faith, resulting in loss of trust and faith among colleagues,” Kirven wrote.

In an interview with the Greenville Journal, Kirven said some members of council have been “grandstanding” and “wasting time” in addition to suing other members of council. For example, he said, they have declined to object to particular legislation as it moved through the lengthy legislative process only to start raising questions and asking for more time when the rest of council was ready to vote. Stripping Meadows and Dill of their chairmanships changes the dynamic, Kirven said. “It’s about the only thing council has available that it can do within its power and authority,” he said. Kirven also said, “With nine council members working together, the council can accomplish everything it needs to accomplish.” The move, however, only seemed to exacerbate the bitter division that has emerged between nine members of council and the other three. Dill is threatening to file another lawsuit in response. He said Kirven has authority to restructure committees only during council’s first meeting in January following a general election, with the only exception being excessive absenteeism on the part of a council member. Dill said he may have no choice but to do what he, Meadows, and Barnes did earlier this year — seek the attorney general’s opinion and file a lawsuit if that opinion is not followed. “You can’t just keep on breaking the rules and nobody say anything,” Dill said. “Just not the way it works.” Dill also said any claim that he is not willing to work cooperatively with other council members is “a lie. It’s not true.”

Kirven, however, cited in his memo specific language of council rules as his authority for restructuring the committees. According to Kirven’s memo, council rules allow him to “change committee membership as merited” during “the course of the two-year term.” Contacted by the Greenville Journal, Ballard and Payne declined to discuss the matter. “It’s a very awkward situation,” Payne said. “I believe it’s inappropriate for any of us to speak out on this except the chairman.” Ballard said in an email that he was referring news media inquiries about the situation to the county’s legal department. In suing Greenville County and Greenville County Council, Meadows, Dill, Barnes, and other plaintiffs claimed that council, in imposing the fees, failed to follow a longstanding rule requiring a “supermajority” of nine votes to raise taxes or fees. Seven council members voted to repeal the supermajority rule in April before council gave final approval for the new fees through separate votes in June. Under the committee restructuring, Taylor is the new chairman of the Finance Committee and Ballard the leader of the Planning and Development Committee. The Finance Committee’s jurisdiction includes taxes, the budget, and property tax breaks for economic development projects. The jurisdiction of the Planning and Development Committee includes land use and transportation planning.

ANOTHER GATEWAY TO GREENVILLE City eyes improved eastern entrance to Falls Park thanks to an assist from Grand Bohemian developer

CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Greenville City Council has given initial approval to providing $3.5 million to the parent company of the Grand Bohemian, a highly anticipated lodge-style boutique hotel on the banks of the Reedy River, to create a new entryway into Falls Park. The Kessler Enterprise Inc. plans to build the 160-room, four-diamond Grand Bohemian on the site of the current Wyche P.A. law firm offices at the intersection of East Camperdown Way and Falls Street. The project is slated to play a key role in the area's transformation into the East Gateway District, which also includes the Camperdown development under construction at the Greenville News site at Main and Broad streets. The Grand Bohemian project is expected to cost more than $75 million, the agreement said. Under the agreement, the city will take $3.5 million from its Economic Development Fund to pay for public improvements to Falls Park’s East Camperdown Way entrance. Part of the concrete parking lot between the Wyche firm and Bowater building will be turned into a green lawn that would lead to the Liberty Bridge and could be set up for small concerts and public events. While there’s plenty of green space in Falls Park, flat green space is scarce. Construction on that part of the project would commence nine months prior to hotel completion, according to the agreement. The agreement said the city will pay for up to $1.3 million for those improvements. The second part of the project will improve the other portion of East Camperdown and the Falls Street intersection. No specific timeframe was laid out for construction of that section until Kessler better understands how that

infrastructure will serve other redevelopment planned in the immediate vicinity of the hotel. The agreement requires Kessler to acquire the Wyche property no later than the first quarter of 2018. Construction would be completed in the fourth quarter of 2019. Plans call for the hotel to resemble a national park lodge, said Christian Sottile, the dean of the Savannah College of Art and Design’s School of Building Arts and a principal in the architecture firm Sottile & Sottile of Savannah. The Camperdown side of the hotel would be natural wood and shakes, while the river side would incorporate stone and brick to complement the river. The city’s Design Review Board approved a certificate of appropriateness for the project in May with conditions. Sottile told the board he views the location of the hotel as a transition from the city into the park, and based the design on the wooded, lush greenery. The panel asked Sottile and his team to consider modernizing the exterior to appear more in line with surrounding building designs. The Kessler Group, along with Sottile & Sottile, will make the recommended adjustments and present them to two DRB members for approval. The development needs one more reading to become final.

CITY COUNCIL FINALIZES PURCHASE OF REEDY RIVER SITE

Last week, Greenville City Council gave final approval to a contract for the city to purchase property on the banks of the Reedy River in Falls Park, where a developer had proposed to build a controversial office building, 55 Camperdown.

The city will buy 0.93 acres along the river for $4 million and help pay for infrastructure improvements made by Centennial American Properties. Centennial American is overseeing the Camperdown redevelopment on the block of South Main Street, where the Greenville News has made its home since 1969. Centennial had proposed building a four-story brickand-glass office building mere steps from the historic Main Street bridge. The plan received a certificate of appropriateness from the city’s Design Review Board but drew immediate opposition for being too close to the river and negatively impacting a slice of green space in Falls Park. Others were critical of the proposed 55 Camperdown project because they didn’t like the building’s design. The city will take the money for the property out of its economic development fund. Private groups have pledged $1.15 million. The Falls Park Endowment said it would contribute $900,000, while the Friends of the Red Cross pledged $250,000. The larger $200 million Camperdown project includes office space, a hotel, multifamily units, retail, and restaurants. A letter of intent approved by City Council in January also calls for Centennial to construct public improvements on the 55 Camperdown site to improve connectivity between South Main Street and the river, streetscape improvements, and a public plaza. Through a synthetic tax increment financing district, the city would reimburse Centennial for the cost of those public improvements over 25 years, with payments based on the increased property taxes generated by the project.

CITY

Augusta Street nearly set to receive new firehouse City officials are nearing an agreement with a developer that would allow the city to build a new fire station to serve Augusta Street, Fire Chief Stephen Kovalcik said. The city bought land on Faris Road, just down the block from the current Augusta Street station, in August 2015. The current station’s two-story 60-yearold brick building’s bays are too small to accommodate today’s fire trucks, forcing the city to special order trucks that can fit into the bays designed for older models. Firefighter living quarters are on the second floor, and there’s no fire protection between floors. The building has no sprinkler system, and

the second-story sleeping quarters windows are sealed shut. Building a new station in the vicinity of the current station was critical, because if it were moved one-quarter mile, it would leave gaps in coverage because Augusta and Faris is such a critical intersection, Kovalcik said. A new station could be built in 18 months. Kovalcik said he expects a final agreement to be completed in about three weeks. Although plans for the current station have not been finalized, city officials have said they want it to remain standing. In addition to finalizing Augusta Street station plans, Kovalcik said the city would soon begin looking for land on which to build a new Stone Avenue station. The Stone Avenue station has the same issues as the Augusta Street station in addition to being in a floodway.

The city opened a new fire station on Verdae Boulevard earlier this year to help meet the needs of the growing Woodruff Road, Verdae Boulevard, and CU-ICAR corridor.

Downtown streetlights could double as small cellphone towers Walk down Greenville’s Main Street and you’ll be hard-pressed to go a block without seeing people using their smartphones to search a list of restaurants to help them determine where they want to eat, watch the latest viral video, and to check email. That illustrates the problem wireless companies are facing — smartphones are being used less and less for actual conversations and more and more as hand-sized computers. Unlimited data plans and the meteoric rise of video streaming are putting a strain on their wireless networks. In downtown Greenville, the solution could come from streetlights. ExteNet Systems Inc. wants to deploy up to 23 small-cell wireless antennas on streetlights and other existing structures in the public rightof-way in the city. Sixteen of those will be in the central business district. The company would replace existing streetlights that are similar in size and appearance with streetlights that are designed to house and conceal antennas and wireless equipment. Verizon Wireless will use the small cells. But Eric Lovvorn, ExteNet’s external relations director, said once the system is up and running, other wireless companies may be interested in colocating on those poles. Without the small cells, the system would be overloaded in downtown within a year or two, he said. “The main reason is not coverage but capacity,” Lovvorn said. City officials said the new streetlights will be similar to what exists in downtown now, and will be pretty unnoticeable for the average person walking downtown. The alternative would be rooftop cell towers. “They’re essential to move forward with the smart city stuff,” said Greenville City Councilman George Fletcher. Under the nonexclusive franchise agreement, ExteNet will grant the city no charge excess fiber optic capacity in its network that can be used for the city’s security cameras. ExteNet will pay the city rent for city-owned poles it uses. Most of the streetlights slated for replacement are owned by Duke Energy. —Cindy Landrum

B-Cycle opens location in the West End Greenville B-Cycle, a bicycle-sharing program that provides a bike rental network across downtown, has opened its newest location at Link Apartments in the West End. The program, a partnership of the Greenvillebased environmental advocacy group Upstate

Forever and Greenville Health System, now has 10 stations and more than 50 bikes. “The installation of our 10th bike station is a milestone,” said Lisa Hallo, land policy and planning director for Upstate Forever and director of the B-cycle program “We have been steadily growing the system since its launch in spring 2013 and are happy to report that ridership is higher this year than any other so far.” Since the program’s launch, B-Cycle users have logged more than 15,000 rides, according to Hallo. More than half of the program’s riders have been residents of Greenville County, according to a 2016 analysis. Another 13 percent came from surrounding Upstate counties. B-Cycle has focused on downtown because it offers density in terms of users and is home to the city’s safest bike infrastructure, according to Hallo. “Greenville B-Cycle is giving residents and visitors alike a convenient means to get active — whether they are biking for recreation, exercise, or active transportation,” said GHS Community Relations Coordinator Rebecca Cooper.

Greenville Water, and Renewable Water Resources, to complete the plan and restore the lake and river, which have experienced high levels of sediment runoff over the years from development and other sources. Excess amounts of sediment not only fill in the rivers and lakes but also carry pollutants like bacteria, fertilizers, and pesticides that further degrade water resources, according to Ruhlman. “The upper part of the lake was dredged at significant expense in 2012 and is already filling in with sediment again. We have heard complaints from fishermen and boaters who see it firsthand,” she said. According to a press release, Save Our Saluda plans to implement various best management practices, including vegetated buffers along waterways to control erosion and sediment, stabilize streambanks, restore riparian areas, improve wildlife and pollinator habitat, and protect downstream water quality, aquatic life, and recreational uses. The group, for instance, recently received a $20,000 grant from Michelin, Naturaland Trust, TreesGreenville, and others to restore the riparian area along Railroad Creek, a tributary to the North Saluda River. The group will plant native woody species as well as install grassed swales and rock fillers in ditches to filter sediment from runoff and pollinator strips along farm fields to increase

nectar and pollen sources for pollinator insects. “The North Saluda River is an important source of drinking water but is also one of the cradles of locally sourced food for the Upstate,” said Mac Stone, executive director for Naturaland Trust. “As our region continues to grow, we will need further access to clean water and healthy local food.” —Andrew Moore

Marcus King graces cover of Guitar Player mag If you wander past the magazine aisle at the grocery store this week, take a closer look at the stands. You might see a familiar face. Twenty-one-year-old Marcus King, singer, guitarist, and bandleader for Greenville’s own Marcus King Band, is a first-time cover boy for Guitar Player magazine, one of the most popular and oldest guitar magazines in America. Launched in 1967, the monthly magazine provides everything from song tablatures to equipment tips alongside interviews with some of the best-known guitarists around. And now the Upstate guitarist, who’s in the midst of touring to promote his band’s self-

titled LP, is ecstatic about it. “Guitar Player magazine has been on the coffee table at my house since I was a little kid,” King says. “My father has cases of issues of Guitar Player from decades past.” And that might be the most important part of the cover excitement for Marcus: Telling his father, a skilled guitarist and performer in his own right. “My heart jumped from my chest when I was able to tell my dad that I was going to be on the cover,” he says. “He’s always been my biggest supporter and musical guru.” King is also flattered to be grouped in with players who have been featured on past covers of the magazine, including Eric

he opening scenes of Rory Scovel’s new Netfl ix stand-up special depict him backstage at a comedy club, surrounded by booze, drugs, women, and the requisite entourage. The leather-clad Scovel, a Greenville native, yells at, drinks, snorts, or makes out with everything in his path while swaggering his way to the stage, fully resplendent in mascara and hair spiked to the rafters. And then he’s startled awake in his dressing room and walks onstage in real life, a bit less angry but no less resplendent — that is if your idea of resplendent is a vintage maroon Members Only jacket. That bizarre opening is just one of many indications that the program, “Rory Scovel Tries Stand-Up for the First Time: A Netfl ix Special,” is going to embrace absurdist humor. In addition to that, there’s the title – Scovel’s been doing stand-up since 2003. And the weird segment about halfway through his routine features a talk-show style interview with Scovel and former White Stripe Jack White as guests. Neither the host nor White seems interested in Scovel, and the segment ends with the two of them urging Scovel offscreen while he timidly attempts to deliver some jokes. The cinematic turns in the special, largely conceived by Scovel and director Scott Moran, are courtesy of a comedian who graduated from USC Upstate in 2003 with a communications degree but always felt a pull toward making movies. “I kind of always wanted to be a fi lmmaker, and then I realized I hadn’t really done much towards actually doing that,” Scovel says. He comes from a funny family, and he loved being the class clown at Christ Church Episcopal School and Greenville High, but stand-up comedy wasn’t on his radar. Scovel was working as a cameraman for WSPA in 2003. At the time, he was trying to fi gure out his life. Enter David Cross’ epic double-CD “Shut Up, You [Expletive] Baby!” “That album hit me hard,” he says. “And I wanted to see if I was capable of doing that. It’s weird that something small like that has led to this.” Now the only thing that Scovel had to do was take that back-of-the-classroom smartass personality and make it work onstage. “I had to learn how to hone it,” he says. “Not just to make an ass of myself to make people laugh, but to be funny creatively and sustain an audience’s attention.” And so in December 2003, Scovel hit the stage for the fi rst time with a few jokes and some friends in the audience at an open-mic night. He was hooked. “I was immediately bitten by the bug,” he says. “I loved what it was.” Scovel’s comedic voice is a unique one because of the styles it mixes together. He has created a persona that can be steely-faced arrogant one second and surrealistically absurd the next. It’s a combination of confrontational and silly that Scovel spent years refi ning as he moved from the Upstate to Washington, D.C., New York City, and ultimately to Los Angeles. “My sister lived in D.C.,” Scovel says. “And I looked in the weekly paper up there and noticed that they had a lot of open mics. So I could dive into it but not in a terrifying way where I was all alone, because already I had family that was willing to help me out and let me sleep on her couch.” Scovel spent three years in D.C. before moving to

New York. “It was time to make the jump and play in tougher waters,” he says. “It was the city for standup comedy, so I wanted to challenge myself.” That’s when Scovel stared getting noticed. It’s also where he learned how difficult it was to do stand-up well. “I think what’s so interesting about stand-up comedy is that you learn how to do it while you’re doing it,” he says. “You can’t really learn how to get up in front of an audience and make them laugh without getting up and doing it.” And sometimes, that means falling flat on his face. Hard.

“ ” When people think about stand-up comedy, they think either you’re great or you bomb. And they don’t realize that all the greatest stand-up comics in the world have bombed, and continue to bomb today.

“It’s actually good that it happens,” he says. “When people think about stand-up comedy, they think either you’re great or you bomb. And they don’t realize that all the greatest stand-up comics in the world have bombed, and continue to bomb today. You’re writing down ideas that you’re trying to make funny, and the only way to fi nd out if it works or not is to test it. Sometimes it’s the audience’s, but nine times out of 10, it’s yours.” It was toward the end of that four-year period that the bombs started coming less and less often for Scovel. He got an agent and a manager who began landing him television auditions. When that started happening, it was time for Scovel to move to Los Angeles.

In the early 2010s, he appeared on “Conan,” “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson,” and Comedy Central’s “@midnight.” He was also named a “comic to watch” by Variety, and his 2011 debut album, “Dilation,” was included in the Huffi ngton Post’s list of best new comedy albums of the year. But Scovel’s real breakthrough came when he was noticed by Bill Lawrence, the executive producer of NBC’s “Scrubs,” who was launching a new sitcom on TBS called “Ground Floor.” “I’d started fi guring out how to audition,” Scovel says, “and Bill Lawrence gave me the opportunity to be on his show. The show got canceled after less than two seasons, but getting to be on that, I learned how those shows work, and that was a big door opening for other opportunities and go after them confidently. I’ve been able to get some guest roles in other shows since then.” That’s a bit of an understatement. Since “Ground Floor” was canceled in 2015, Scovel has appeared in eight different TV shows and two movies, steadily increasing his profi le on TV shows like “Undateable” and “Those Who Can’t” and in fi lms like “Dean” (with Dimitri Martin and Kevin Kline) and “The House” (with Amy Poehler and Will Ferrell). Not surprisingly, this higher public profi le has boosted the attendance at his stand-up shows, improving his confidence onstage. “Acting is a different discipline, but it has helped people who like me as an actor discover my standup,” he says. “And over time, as you notice that people who are there already like what you do, that gives you a lot of confidence as a stand-up. You know that people are there to see you and you’re not having to prove yourself.” That higher profi le led to Scovel’s Netfl ix special. For the comedian, the special, which received positive reviews from The A.V. Club and Paste magazine, among others, is a chance for this relatively soft-spoken man to truly express what’s going on in his mind. “When I’m onstage, that’s how my brain is always going,” he says. “It’s so freeing. I’m fortunate enough to have a job where I can talk about what I want to talk about, and it’s been very rewarding. I take a lot of pride in knowing that that person up there is my true self and those are my true opinions on things, and people seem to be attracted to it even if they disagree with me.” Currently, Scovel is working on new material. And this go around, his point of view might be more forceful than ever, especially when it comes to postelection politics. “Every single day I’m terrified of the direction that we’re going,” Scovel says. “The current state of things seems to be something of a circus, and the Republicans’ attitude seems to be, ‘I don’t care that our team is horrible; we still won the championship.’ “I think you have to care that the team is horrible, and I think what terrifies me is that I thought there were more Republicans either in office or in general who would hold themselves to a higher standard.” he adds. “We’re way off the map now. The team is crazy.” And that kind of fear is exactly what fuels Scovel’s material. He says, “Anything that gives me stress or anxiety is what I’m going to write about, because I need to deal with it. And the hope is that you’re helping other people deal with it as well.”

hallenge: Create a 13-item menu for a small restaurant kitchen that has only three major pieces of equipment — a 24-inch flat cook top, panini grill, and sandwich station to store cold items. That’s exactly the scenario in which SIP Whiskey and Wine Bar’s executive chef Troy Gagliardo found himself when redesigning the newly released small plate menu at the rooftop bar overlooking ONE City Plaza. “The small kitchen forced me to be creative,” says Gagliardo, a veteran chef who has worked on numerous restaurant concepts and redesigns for the Charlotte, N.C.-based Bottle Cap Group. In addition to SIP, Bottle Cap owns Diner 24, Ink N Ivy, Brazwell’s Pub, and Green Room, which has not been reopened since closing earlier this year. Many of the new dishes being added to SIP and other Bottle Cap menus are inspired by the 2,000-plus recipes Gagliardo has developed over the course of the chef’s

Hummus with Naan Bread, $8 for 1 or $16 for 3

KITCHEN IMPOSSIBLE SIP Whiskey and Wine Bar’s new menu proves kitchen size doesn’t matter Words by Ariel Turner | Photos by Caroline Herring 10 years on “Troy’s Everyday Eats,” a Charlotte TV show that airs every Tuesday morning. The new SIP menu includes many seasonal ingredients, which will likely change throughout the year, and is designed for snacking rather than a traditional dining experience. “Ordering a couple of snacks with a tableside sangria – that sounds like a good night to me,” Gagliardo says. Menu highlights include a seared shrimp dish with asparagus, fregola (pasta), and chorizo (imported from Spain) vinaigrette; shishito pepper with grilled lemon aioli; tuna carpaccio seasoned and seared on one side and topped with chimichurri white beans and charred kale; hummus and naan two ways; and two varieties of bruschetta. Not having a typical full commercial kitchen in which to prepare dishes meant Gagliardo focused on the quality of the limited ingredients he’d be using. “It allows me to be creative when you have to rely on the ingredients,” he says. “If

you screw it up, it’s not going to be good.” Whereas in the past Gagliardo added more ingredients to a dish to enhance it, today he takes a less-is-more approach. “What can I take out of this to make it better?” he says. Having limited kitchen appliances and storage space meant using fewer ingredients in each dish, as well as using the same ingredients in multiple dishes without seeming repetitive. For example, white beans are used in the bruschetta, naan, and tuna carpaccio; chorizo is included in the SIP & Snack Board; the seared shrimp also appears in the pickle jar; and charred kale is used a couple times as well. The treatment of the tuna was the result of having to use particular plateware, requiring further ingenuity. In order to fit a rectangular plate, the tuna is fileted and pounded thin, much like a traditional beef carpaccio. “It’s great that we can put out this type of food with this small of a kitchen,” Gagliardo says.

HOME AWAY FROM HOME Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Carolinas plans to double capacity with expansion WORDS BY EMILY PIETRAS PHOTOS BY JOSHUA KELLY

Construction of the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Carolinas’ expansion is expected to be completed by spring 2018. The facility will include 12 new guest rooms, a lobby and reception space, a commercial-sized kitchen and open dining area, and an outdoor patio and playground, among other additions.

The Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Carolinas (RMHCC), which assists the families of sick or critically injured children by providing housing, meals, transportation, and other support, has been facing an unprecedented demand for its services. “We are always full at over 80 percent capacity and have been for over five years,” says Marti Spencer, executive director and CEO of RMHCC. RMHCC, located on Grove Road across from the Greenville Health System Children’s Hospital, is one of more than 335 Ronald McDonald Houses worldwide. “We allow families to have time together. That’s the most important thing,” Spencer says. “So when your child is critically ill or injured, you know that we are kind of going to take away all those worries about where you’re going to sleep, where you’re going to eat, how you’re going to take a shower, do laundry. … So we provide all of those for them so that their focus can be on their child. We try to be part of the whole program of family-centered care.” She adds, “We’re able to keep families close and help them have some normalcy at a very unpredictable time in their lives and their children’s lives.” Since RMHCC opened its doors in 1989, GHS Children’s Hospital has more than doubled its number of beds, from 64 to 166 in 2015. In that same time period, its team of pediatric specialists has increased from 14 to 206. More than half of the families who stay at RMHCC have children being treated at GHS, but the organization has other medical affiliates in the Upstate, including the Shriners Hospital for Children and Bon Secours

St. Francis Health System. RMHCC mainly serves families from across South Carolina, as well as from six neighboring states: Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. In 2015, the counties most served were Oconee, Greenwood, Laurens, Anderson, Spartanburg, and Greenville. Although RMHCC never wants to be in a position where they have to turn away a family, the growth of local hospital systems has left them without a choice. With just 12 guest rooms, they simply don’t have enough space to accommodate need.

Debbie Wilson, Abby Bell, and Fisher Bell during their stay at RMHC.

“Last year, we served over 350 families, but we had to wait-list over 250 families,” Spencer says. The Bell family recently spent 12 days at a hotel before RMHCC had an open room. Twenty-nine-year old Abby Bell gave birth to her second child, Jensen, on May 11. Her pregnancy was full-term without any complications, but during birth, Jensen sustained a severe brain injury, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE), caused by oxygen deprivation to the brain. He was treated in the neonatal intensive care unit at the GHS Children’s Hospital. When Jensen first arrived in the NICU, however, RMHCC was at full capacity. Faced with the choice of commuting to and from their home in Liberty or staying at a hotel, Abby and her husband, Christopher, opted for the latter. Co-workers, Abby said, pitched in to cover the lodging expense. On May 25, to the family’s relief, RMHCC staff notified the Bells that a room was available. In a June 1 interview, during the family’s stay at RMHCC, Abby Bell said that knowing she was very close to Jensen and could see him at any time helped provide some peace of mind. Other amenities that RMHCC offers, such as a hot dinner each night and laundry facilities, also helped reduce the stress of taking care of everyday tasks. “They [RMHCC staff] go out of their way to make you feel comfortable,” Abby said, adding that the night the family arrived, the couple’s 4-year-old son, Fisher, was given a toy and handmade blanket. The Bells stayed at RMHCC until June 14, when Jensen died in the NICU from complications associated with HIE.

“All I can say about the Ronald McDonald House is that they made a hard time in my life so much better. I even received a card and basket from the staff after he [Jensen] passed away. I hope that one day I can find a way to repay them,” Abby wrote in a July 20 email to the Greenville Journal. A major change is on the horizon for RMHCC, one that will significantly help reduce the number of families who need to seek alternative housing while their child receives

medical treatment. In mid-2015, RMHCC introduced their Building Hope capital campaign, with a goal to raise $3.5 million for a comprehensive expansion of their facility. Plans call for a 17,500-square-foot addition that will double RMHCC’s capacity, with 12 new guest rooms, a lobby and reception space, a family library, a commercialsized kitchen and open dining area, an outdoor patio and playground, a volunteer hub,

laundry facilities, a fitness room for parents, and an elevator for increased accessibility. Construction is expected to be completed in spring 2018. To date, the Building Hope campaign has raised $2.5 million. In the final round of fundraising, RMHCC’s goal is to have 2,000 individuals pledge $500 each. “We need to get to that other $1 million. We’ve been great stewards of the dollars that have been given to us over the years,

and we want people to see the success that we are and the success that we will continue to be,” Spencer says. “We want to be a big partner not only for our hospital system but for families that reach out to us and need us. And I think that with the expansion, we will be able to make a greater impact in the lives of so many.” For more information, visit rmhc-carolinas.org/capital-campaign.

home a reality. Brad and Jarrett met while attending Clemson University. They were fraternity brothers and eventual roommates who took separate but similar career paths after their graduations in 2005 and 2006. Jarrett, a second generation licensed residential builder, was working with his dad in Augusta, while Brad was putting his licensed landscape architect skills into practice doing sports facility design with a firm in Birmingham.

We try to always remember that it can’t be just another project to us because at the end of the day, it’s someone’s home, so it needs to be right.

Rolling their years of friendship into a business partnership has been a seamless transition. Jarrett and Brad’s complementary skill sets, shared work ethic and attention to detail have made for early success. This is both good and bad news. The company has experienced significant growth over the last year, which has proved out the partnership, but unfortunately doesn’t leave much time for those shared vacations. Luckily, their passion for what they do outweighs vacation any day.

The two kept in touch, even vacationing together thanks to having married a pair of lifelong friends, and had long talked about going into business together. They collaborated on a few projects here and there, and in February 2014 officially hung out their shingle as Smith & Webb. After a few moves, they’ve settled into an office in Clemson’s up-and-coming Patrick Square. The true art behind the company is that the homes are truly custom tailored exactly to each client’s wants and needs. Planning, design and construction work together to provide that. “We can meet the client on their vacant lot and go from there,” Brad says.

Everyone who walks through the door at Massage Envy gets treated like family. Whether you’re a new customer, a long-time member, or part of the staff, Don and Caroline Taylor want you to feel at home. “At a lot of places, you get your massage and facial and you leave. But we get to know our members, and really strive to provide total body care. That’s what sets us apart,” says Caroline Taylor, who owns three Massage Envy locations in the Upstate with her husband, Don. Massage Envy’s membership model aims to make professional massages and esthetics both affordable and convenient, and something everyone can fit into their busy lives. And the Taylors take that mission very seriously. Don says, “We have locations all over Greenville – Verdae, Pelham and Downtown. We’re open seven days a week, and weeknights until 10pm. We’re here for you, whenever you can get to us.” The family atmosphere extends to Don and Caroline’s staff as well. “We celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and other milestones together. Clients bring goodies for the staff. Everyone knows everyone, and it creates a real sense of community,” Caroline says.

The Taylors are always looking for ways to do more for their members. Their downtown location hasn’t even been open a year yet, but it’s already getting its fair share of traffic. “We’ve had a lot of new members join us since we opened our newest location. And some of our long-time members are delighted the downtown location is more convenient for them. That’s opened up some spots at our Verdae and Pelham locations, making it easier for people to schedule their appointments. So it’s a win-win.” Massage Envy recently added more advanced facial treatments, and the Taylors are looking to add some new IT technologies later this year. “We’re rapidly implementing new technology to provide the best experience possible for our clients and staff,” says Don. “We are on the cutting edge.” They’re in the process of going paperless. All therapists will have tablets and take digital notes, and the check-in process will be much faster and smoother, while still giving clients a customized session. Giving back is as important to the Taylors as going green. They’re big supporters of the Ride to Remember, a 252-mile ride from Simpsonville to Mount Pleasant to benefit the Alzheimer’s Association. For the third year in a row, they’re looking for people to join their team in July. “At Massage Envy, our goal is to improve quality of life for people,” Don says. “The Alzheimer’s Association works to improve the quality of life for people with Alzheimer’s and their families. So teaming up to support them is a natural fit.” It’s also a very personal cause for Don, who lost his mom to early-onset Alzheimer’s when she was only 47 years old.

ARTS & CULTURE “SERAFINA AND THE SPLINTERED HEART” TRIVIA Robert Beatty’s “Serafina” series centers around Serafina, a young girl living at the Biltmore Estate, and it draws heavily from Appalachian folklore and the area’s infrequent cougar sightings. “There is a lot of mythology related to the mountain lion here,” Beatty says. “Many people believe they still live here, but the scientists say they don’t.” In Beatty’s magical world, these mysterious cougars are actually people who can transform into big cats. His titular heroine is one of them. Of course, if you are a fan of the “Serafina” series, you already know that. And if you do, you’ll be pleased to know, M. Judson Booksellers is hosting a special trivia night in honor of the recently released third book in the series, “Serafina and the Splintered Heart.” If you’re interested, gather together a group of likeminded friends — this is a team competition, after all — and contact the staff at M. Judson. Registration is a must. —Chris Haire

SPONSORED BY

For almost 20 years now, Tavo Ramirez has been one of the Upstate’s premier DJs, mixing danceable beats with a rainbow of musical inﬂuences. A typical set from Tavo could feature anything from African funk to Peruvian dance to classical jazz and everything in between. One of his favorite things to do is to dig through record store crates in a quest to find some obscure but addictive sample to work into his mix. “I didn’t want to do what every other DJ was doing,” he adds. “I started with jazz in my teens and explored every style of music from there, whether it was world music or jazz or funk or Latin music. Whatever the style was, I listened to it all.” In the early 2000s, Ramirez used that deep well of inﬂuences to lay the foundation for Projekt Lotus, a musical collective that created a hypnotic brand of atmospheric, experimental hip-hop. In order to distribute their music, Projekt Lotus formed their own label, called Varia Labs Records. Over time, though, the members of Projekt Lotus moved on to their own individual projects, and Varia Labs mainly became a vehicle for Tavo’s music, at least until he met a young crop of new MCs. “I wasn’t really looking to record anyone else. It was never my intention, but it’s funny the way things happen,” he says. “My younger sister went to school with these kids, and I ended up doing a song with one of them. He called himself Ife’ Neuro, and he was like 18 years old at the time. When he came back from college, he called me up and said, ‘We had fun last time. Let’s do it again.’ And next thing I knew, we’d recorded seven songs.” Through Neuro, Tavo met other hip-hop artists he took an interest in. At that point,

Varia Labs became something new. “I told them they just needed some mixing and mastering and they could put this stuff out,” Ramirez says. “And that’s what changed the label into something else.” For Ramirez, “something else” means not just recording and mixing his artists but providing guidance as well. “It’s about developing them,” he says. “I don’t have to coach them on lyrics or anything like that, but my goal is truly to show them the ropes. “I’ve gotten to tour with artists like Del the Funky Homosapien and Souls of Mischief, some of the bigger artists in our genre, and I learned a lot from them. So I’m trying to pass that information along to these younger artists and create a nice little touring network for them, because the money is in touring and merchandising. We’re doing everything in house, from printing CDs and pressing them to doing artwork and shooting videos — everything.” Ramirez has put together a combination album-release show for Ife’ Neuro’s “End 2 End” and a showcase for his other Varia Labs artists at the VILLive Summer Concert series in the Village of West Greenville on Friday. “Originally, it was just going to be a DJ show, but they asked if I had any guys who could perform,” he says. “And I said, ‘Yeah, I’ll just bring my guys out.’”

Greenville Center for Creative Arts Annual Showcase The Greenville Center for Creative Arts (GCCA) Annual Showcase provides the community with an opportunity to see the various works produced by 109 GCCA member artists. The showcase is also a final chance for the public to see the works of the three 2017 Brandon Fellows. The GCCA Fellows program, founded in 2015 to support talented local artists and promote diversity, provides artists with an opportunity to work in a “university-style” studio space for six months. Fellows also receive a stipend to purchase art supplies and the opportunity to take classes at GCCA. The 2017 Fellows who will have their works on display at the Annual Showcase are Brandon Seabrook (drawing), Dororthy Shain (painting), and Ashley Waller (painting). “The show concept is to exhibit the breadth and depth of member artists working in our community,” said Cherington Shucker, executive director of GCCA. There will be an opening reception held Aug. 4 from 6–9 p.m., which coincides with the First Fridays gallery crawl. That event will include an Art School Open House, where parents and kids can meet instructors and explore class offerings, as well as a showcase of kids’ art produced during GCCA summer camp. The three new Brandon Fellows for 2017–18 will also be announced. —Emily Pietras

Mark Powell Book Talk

On the surface, Mark Powell’s “Small Treasons” is a story about a struggling marriage. But Tess and John Maynard’s relationship is at a crossroads due to the former’s growing fascination with the War on Terror and the latter’s previous life as a CIA contractor at a site that interrogated suspected terrorists — including an innocent civilian.

When Pendleton’s Doc Holiday got together back in 2012, they played relatively straightforward Southern rock and mainly gigged around their hometown. It wasn’t until after they began tentatively reaching outside the state for tour dates that they found the town that ended up helping them figure out their real sound: Tuscaloosa, Ala. After playing a few shows and making a few friends there, the band moved en masse to Tuscaloosa in 2016. “We made the decision to move, because we didn’t have a whole lot going on here,” says Doc Holiday singer Aaron Langford. “And it was a great experience. It’s a college town, first of all, with a lot of young people, and everyone was trying their hardest to do the best music they could. Everyone was competing to see how big a crowd they could bring out. It gave us motivation to work harder.” It also helped the band develop a more experimental, but still hardrock based, sound. “We became a little more progressive,” Langford says. “We added more of a jam element into it. It pushed us to make more complex music.” —Vincent Harris

Gottrocks | 200 Eisenhower Drive 9 p.m. | $10 | gottrocksgreenville.com Greenville’s Four 14 has spent so much of the last decade being the Upstate’s reliable “friendly neighborhood jam band” that it’s difficult to believe they haven’t played a gig in six months. But singer/guitarist Kyle Rowland says that after years of nonstop playing and recording, the band needed some time off from music — and perhaps each other as well. “We sat in a room and hashed things out,” Rowland says. “And the end result was that we decided to take the first break we’ve taken in three or four years. We put so much work and time into our album and playing shows after it came out that we needed to let everyone try to get their stuff together.” Unfortunately, the break became permanent for Four 14’s lead guitarist and bass player, which brought new players Austin Waits (guitar) and Thomas McPartland (bass) into the picture. “Austin and Thomas have brought us to a whole new level of jamming we hadn’t been able to get to yet,” Rowland says. “They’re incredible talents that have meshed really well with what we like to do as a band.” — Vincent Harris

When suspicion, xenophobia, and distrust flourish, how can love survive? How can we decipher the truth when lies and deceit become commonplace, and a person’s word is no longer their bond? Set in a stark, not-so-distant-future, The Warehouse Theatre’s touring production of William Shakespeare’s “Othello” asks these timeless questions. Performances are Thursday-Saturday at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m. warehousetheatre.com/othello/

Carolina Peach Truck Bandcamp III

Featuring Sun Brother, Horrible Girl & The Hot Mess, The Indoor Kids, Swing First, Hugger Mugger, and Nepotism Radio Room | 110 Poinsett Highway 7 p.m.| $10 | radioroomgreenville.com The idea for the original Bandcamp show at The Soundbox Tavern three years ago actually came from a promoter who wanted to beef up a show with the hip-hop collective Ramo Nation and grungy power-trio Sun Brother. “He suggested that we add more artists to the bill,” says Sun Brother singer/guitarist Zebraylon Woodruff. “So we did, and we just ended up calling it Bandcamp. It was such a cool concept that after that show we just kept running with it.” The third edition of Bandcamp will feature Sun Brother, the experimental hip-hop duo Nepotism, punk-rock outfits Horrible Girl & The Hot Mess and The Indoor Kids, and festival newcomers Swing First and Hugger Mugger. “We wanted a bunch of different bands that represented a bunch of different communities,” Woodruff says. “And this will actually be Sun Brother’s first show at the Radio Room in three years, and the first with our new drummer.” —Vincent Harris
