Salters Road work planned $13.5 million project to widen road, replace bridge could begin in fall 2014 CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com Work on a one-mile stretch of Salters Road – and the first of a series of steps designed to take some traffic off of car-clogged Woodruff Road – could begin in fall 2014.

The South Carolina Department of Transportation plans to widen Salters Road from Verdae Boulevard to Carolina Point Parkway/Millennium Boulevard from two lanes to four lanes, add bicycle lanes and a grass median, and replace the overpass over Interstate 85.

The project also improves intersections in that stretch with the addition of turn lanes and traffic signals. The grade on part of the road will be reduced to improve visibility and motorist safety.

Salters Road would have to be closed for nine to 12 months while the old bridge over Interstate 85 is removed and a new one built.

“This project is absolutely needed,” said Rick Sumerel, president and chief operating officer of Verdae Development Inc. “There will be a little short-term disruption, but it’s going to be worth it.”

The project carries a $13.5 million price tag.

Nearly 6,000 cars travel Salters Road between Verdae Boulevard and Carolina Point Parkway daily, according to DOT traffic counts.

But, perhaps more importantly, a widened Salters Road has the potential to take some traffic off of Woodruff Road’s most congested stretch – between Roper Mountain Road and Carolina Point Parkway.

“It’s one piece of the puzzle,” said Dwayne Cooper, city engineer for Greenville. “It’s one step in the right direction.”

A corridor study initiated by the city and completed in 2007 showed Woodruff Road from Interstate 85 to state Highway 14 was at or over capacity and the stretch from Interstate 85 to Verdae Boulevard was close to capacity.

Since the study was completed, development has continued at Clemson’s automotive research campus CU-ICAR, Verdae, the Shops at Greenridge, the Point and Magnolia Park, the Menin Development project that landed Cabela’s.

Everyone who follows the latest in skin care technology has heard of microdermabrasion and lasers. These are not the latest nor greatest.

At last we have technology that eliminates aluminum oxide crystals and wands that can scratch or streak the skin as well as potentially damaging the capillaries.

The newest technology is called DermaSweep.

The DermaSweep, sweeps, lifts, infuse’s vitamins, minerals and more! The skin is left feeling smooth as silk, radiant and “red carpet ready.” Hollywood celebrities are raving about the results.

Our clients are telling us it is amazing how wonderful their skin looks and feels 3 weeks later.

The school is an eight-week program where residents can learn about services provided by the county, from waste disposal and law enforcement to planning and economic development. Class size is limited to 25 participants and registration is due by 5 p.m. Aug. 30. For more information and registration forms, visit greenvillecounty.org.

BEYOND THE LASER

LED (Light Emitting Diodes and Micro-Currents) Recent clinical studies show that lasers scar collagen fibers rather than stimulate them. LED technology was originally discovered by NASA and scientific research was continued by Mayo Clinic. The LED technology works at the same depth in the dermis as a Laser and treats age spots, redness, acne, stretch marks, scars, wrinkles and large pores.

We can also lift, tighten, and firm the skin with micro-currents.

What’s the most exciting part about LED/ Micro-current treatments? You experience no burning, stinging, discomfort or downtime and results are immediate. What a great option to maintain our youthful appearance.

The Jane Crawford Skin Clinic is the FIRST to bring DermaSweep and the latest LED-Micro-current technology to the upstate. Call us to experience these advancements in clinical skin care.

OPINION VOICES FROM YOUR COMMUNITY, HEARD HERE

In defense of GMOs

FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

Sowing confusion Conflicting data gives parents little reason to trust the latest performance reviews from the state Department of Education.

It’s a good bet “transparent” is not the word that leapt to mind for most parents trying to make sense of the confusing mishmash of school performance reports the state Department of Education released last week.

So repeating it like a mantra is hardly the way for state Superintendent Mick Zais to build credibility for himself or the new letter-grade system the state has adopted to satisfy federal accountability mandates for public schools.

While other reports released last Thursday show student grades climbing in most subjects, the new federal system has the majority of South Carolina schools skidding towards F. Statewide, nearly twice as many schools did worse than better on the A-F scale, with 40 schools plunging from an A to a D or F in one year.

In Greenville, 55 schools dropped by at least one letter grade since last year, the first year the state substituted the letter-grade model for the Adequate Yearly Progress rating in the federal No Child Left Behind Act. Ten Greenville County schools – including six high schools – scored F. Zais defended the report card approach as “more transparent” than the previous model, telling reporters, “It’s easy to understand and it fits on a single sheet of paper.”

But short and simple is worthless if the results can’t be trusted. What absent calamity could change in a year to drop a school’s grade from attic to cellar? Variations of that extreme “indicate that the rating system is neither valid nor reliable,” as Molly Spearman of the Association of School Administrators noted to the Greenville News.

The confusion is compounded by the academic progress revealed in three other standardized reports the SCDOE released on student achievement. The percentage of students scoring “proficient” in at least two subjects was up at every grade level on the Palmetto Assessment of State Standards. Scores also climbed on the Palmetto Achievement Challenge Test given to grades three through eight, and the percentage of high schoolers passing the state exit exam increased from 80.1 to 82 percent.

Zais and others explain the discrepancies by the fact that the federal model sets new benchmarks every year to encourage “growth,” and tracks student progress by a different formula than the state uses. Only a slight change in a student subset can prompt a shift of a letter grade or more.

Or course South Carolina schools need to improve every year, and raising the bar ensures they try. But the benchmarks should be calibrated to assist growth, not obscure it, which is what happens when the public sees grade gyrations to these extremes.

How can anyone judge a school’s fitness with data as conflicting as the education department released last week? “Excellent” and “failing” lose credibility – making the reports irrelevant and not worth the public’s notice.

Zais said it himself last week, telling The State newspaper: “Our state’s accountability system must be modernized to provide a single state and federal report that provides clear, meaningful data to the public and helps teachers improve instruction in the classroom.”

Exactly, Mr. Zais. So do it.

“Genetic modification” is a scary phrase, one that evokes horrific imagery of mad scientists or evil, mutant food engineered to kill.

A disappointingly large part of the discourse surrounding genetically modified organisms (GMOs) stems from this kind of misconception, not at all helped by misleading terms like “Frankenfood” used in the Greenville Journal’s July 28 cover story on this subject.

It’s important that the discourse around genetic modification revolve around the science, and not alarmism.

Genetic modification is a technology that has saved billions of lives in the developing world and has the potential to save billions more. Humanity has technically been genetically modifying crops since the invention of agriculture. By strict definition, traditional breeding – selectively breeding plants and animals to continue certain traits – is genetic modification.

However, this method is impractical, inaccurate and time-consuming. When a better solution was found, it was used.

With genetic modification, scientists can take any traits from any organism and insert them in other organisms, with much more precision and in much less time.

Many, like the Consumer’s Union, have criticized this classification, saying that scientists don’t know the effects of their insertions immediately. This, however, is not a case for an outright ban on the technology, but rather for more funding and testing. According to the World Health Organization, regulated genetic modifications have not produced any harmful effects in humans.

In the 1960s, to combat starvation, members of the Ford and Rockefeller foundations and the Government of the Philippines formed the International Rice Research Institute with the goal of creating more nutritionally complete, resistant, and durable rice.

In 1966, the IRRI debuted their new rice crop, IR8, which the IRRI says produced a significantly higher yield than the native rice variant. IR36, created by Dr. Gurdev Khush, then-IRRI member and recipient of the 1996 World Food Prize, yielded crops that matured 25 days faster, according to “Gene Banks and the World’s Food,” published by Princeton University Press.

The first commercial, truly genetically modified product was medical. Before ge-

netic engineering, insulin had to be harvested from animals. However, in 1979, Genentech, a medical research company, used genetic engineering to clone human insulin synthetically. In 1982, after they sold the technology to Eli Lilly, synthetic insulin became the first commercially available GM product. Since 2006, according to the FDA, bovine and porcine insulin production has been discontinued, and all insulin for sale in the United States is synthetic.

There’s very little talk about GMOs without mentioning Monsanto. Monsanto is a large corporation that seems to have become a synonym for genetic engineering to groups like Millions Against Monsanto.

They protest Monsanto’s business practices, like its terminator crop, and provide little scientific research to back their claims.

It’s a powerful tactic because it’s no secret Monsanto profits from using genetic engineering, but that is not a reason to throw away a technology.

I’m not claiming scientific authority regarding genetic modification. I’m just a recent high school graduate with an interest in science and a passion for truth.

Genetic modification was created to help humanity. Throughout its existence it has mostly stuck to that goal. As Norman Borlaug, father of the Green Revolution, 1970 Nobel Peace Prize recipient, Congressional Gold Medal winner, credited with saving over a billion lives in the developing world, said, “The destiny of world civilization depends upon providing a decent standard of living for all mankind.”

A little misuse and bad PR shouldn’t ruin the technology for the rest of the world.

Teaming up to improve patient care How many questions did you have when you bought your latest smartphone?

How about when you got that high-definition television?

Now, more important, how many questions did you have the last time you visited the doctor?

Being an engaged patient is a responsibility that we all have, no matter if it’s a routine checkup or an inpatient hospital stay.

However, patients and health care providers sometimes struggle with this concept.

Greenville Health System’s Patewood Memorial Hospital is one of three hospitals that participated in a national study by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality focused on improving patient and family engagement. AHRQ’s research found that there are communication gaps between patients, caregivers and hospitals.

So it’s important that everyone involved in a patient’s care communicate and feel comfortable asking questions.

We have already seen improved patient satisfaction scores and positive responses from patients based on new practices that we have implemented.

Placing an emphasis on partnership is an important part of increasing patient and family engagement. One of Patewood Memorial’s initiatives involves patients and families participating in nurse bedside shift reports that occur twice a day.

This report takes place in the patient’s room during shift changes. The nurse who is going off duty shares information about the patient’s care with the nurse coming on duty, the patient and their family.

Patients and families are encouraged to participate in the shift report. We discuss their plan of care, medications and pain management. The patient is an important part of the health care team and participation in the shift report ensures they receive timely information about their care.

They are also encouraged to ask questions, share concerns and ask for clarification of anything they do not understand.

Patewood Memorial Hospital’s Hospital Consumer Assessment for Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) scores have increased since patients and families were invited to participate in bedside shift reports. Patewood Memorial has an overall hospital rating in the 99th percentile nationally. The HCAHPS Survey sets a national standard for collecting and pub-

licly reporting information about patient experience of care.

These qualitative findings suggest high levels of patient satisfaction with bedside shift reports. Patients have also written comments such as “I liked the procedure of both nurses coming in and discussing my case with me at shift change” in their HCAHPS surveys. The hospital’s nursing staff reports satisfaction in its interaction with patients and families at the bedside, too. Patewood Memorial’s findings are being shared with hospitals across Greenville Health System and nationally.

However, the concept of patient and family engagement can be challenging because it involves changing the culture associated with health care. Some patients are uncomfortable asking questions because they don’t want to come across as challenging their health care providers. But health care providers should encourage patients to be active participants in their care.

Patient safety and satisfaction are important and including patients in bedside shift reports is one example of how we can transform health care for the people we serve.

Fortunately, it’s getting easier for patients to do their own research online, and this makes them more prepared to ask questions and be an active participant in their health care.

Our health is more important than the pixels on any phone or television screen. So we must play an active role in our health care decisions and should expect our health care providers to partner with us.

Going West

Artists and businesspeople are headed to the newly rebranded Village of West Greenville CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

SEEKING ORGANIC GROWTH

After Condon started ArtBomb, Michael Watts started buying property “on a whim.”

“I bought my first piece of property here [a building next to Pace Jewelers] 10 or 11 years ago simply because it was a good buy,” he said.

“I had a gut feeling it would turn out OK. From a location standpoint with [Highway] 123 on one side and [Highway] 183 on the other, West Greenville had a lot of potential.”

He and businessman Richard Heusel now own a large amount of property in the Village.

Watts and others believe that the Village can be Greenville’s version of New York’s SoHo or Brooklyn, a local incarnation of Charlotte’s NoDa. Or what many thought the West End was before the city turned its attention there, development took off and rents soared.

Watts said the future of West Greenville will be 25- to 40-year-olds.

“I think there’s a certain type of individual attracted to this kind of area,” he said. “It’s not

PHOTOS BY GREG BECKNER / STAFF

When artist Diane Kilgore Condon bought the Brandon Mill company store in decaying West Greenville to turn into the working studio space for artists called ArtBomb, she wasn’t driven by a desire to see the area return to its former glory.

She was driven by necessity.

It was 2001, and architects were measuring the floors of Condon’s studio above a store on Coffee Street as real estate in Greenville’s downtown was being snapped up. The West End was on its way to becoming the hot spot it is now, the market pushing out artists who could no longer afford the rent.

“Everybody thought we were crazy,” she said.

Except for a furniture store and a jeweler, West Greenville was full of empty and boarded-up buildings. Time had replaced thriving textile mills and the hub of activity surrounding them with decay and despair.

In other words, it was the perfect place for artists – an area ignored, an area nobody else cared much about.

Since then, more than 35 artists have located on Pendleton Street and those surrounding it. Some bought their buildings, others rent.

Some bought old mill houses and turned part into their working space. Their presence has led to the next step in the renaissance.

Businesses – some art-related, some not – are moving in. So are artists, young couples and young professionals who are buying old mill houses.

“It’s a new explosion out here,” said Terri Lingsch, president of the West Greenville Business Association, which unveiled last week a

new brand name for the area – the Village of West Greenville. Fittingly, a local artist, Joshua Blankenship, designed the logo.

downtown Greenville. Every city that prospers – Atlanta, Charlotte, New York – has a section that is a bit different, creative, gritty, on the edge.”

Condon said West Greenville’s improvement has been organic.

“It can’t be something the city creates,” she said. “It has to be in the hearts of the people. It can’t just be a destination for shopping; it has to be a destination for living.

A good tone has been set here by people who have heart, not just money.”

CLEMSON AND MAC ON THE WAY

Two of the newest occupants of the Village are generating a lot of excitement.

Clemson University’s Center for the Visual Arts will open a satellite office in the space that has been occupied for years by Village Studios.

Students, faculty and alumni will be able to use the space to develop and curate exhibitions and display their art, said Greg Shelnutt, chairman of Clemson’s art department.

“It makes sense for us to be here,” he said, adding that Clemson alumni and faculty are already a big part of West Greenville’s art community. “Our presence in Greenville was a natural evolution because we’re already there in so many ways. Clemson is

JOURNAL NEWS already there. Opening the satellite office is like a homecoming, to a certain extent.”

The first exhibition opens Sept. 5 and will feature work by Clemson alumni who teach art in the Upstate.

The second new business generating a lot of interest is a restaurant and music club that blues musician Mac Arnold will open on Labor Day. “What this area has needed for a long time is a restaurant and a venue,” Watts said. “Mac is doing that all in one.”

Those businesses join Les Beaux Gallery and Midtown G a l l e r y, two art galleries located next door to each other. “ W e s t Greenville is the arts center of Greenville,” said Lee Cormier, owner of Les Beaux Gallery, which has been Village Studios and Gallery will soon be home to the Clemson University Center for the Visual Arts satellite office.

open for four months.

Naked Pasta has opened a storefront and Lingsch is looking for a retailer to locate in Artisan Traders beginning in January. Watts said he’s in negotiation with a well-known Greenville company to locate its offices in property he owns.

IMPROVEMENTS STILL NEEDED

Despite progress, some say West Greenville still needs a lot of help.

They want the city to invest in streetscaping and sidewalks, improvements they say will enhance the “bones” needed by the community that are already there – a grid of streets and a “Main Street.”

The city has earmarked $100,000 for street and sidewalk improvements in the Village.

Plans are being designed now and work should begin next year, said Nancy Whitworth, the city’s economic development director. Only part of West Greenville is in the city limits, though, Whitworth said.

West Greenville will also be a part of the city’s west side comprehensive plan.

The plan will outline areas on the city’s west side where revitalization can best occur, ways to manage growth and strategies to address issues such as affordable housing, transportation, parks and economic development.

Work on the plan started last month.

Whitworth said growth in West Greenville will actually help downtown.

“It brings one more unique venue to the city,” she said. “Differentiation in the marketplace is so important. And West Greenville is a unique place.”

JOURNAL NEWS In Greenville County, the percentage of students meeting or exceeding the standards on the PASS test was up in 18 of 26 categories. Greenville County students exceeded the state average in all subjects tested in all grade levels.

The district received a B, the same grade as it received last year in the federal system.

But 10 schools, including six high schools, got F’s.

Fifty-five Greenville County schools saw grade drops of at least one letter grade. Some schools in the state fell from A’s last year to F’s this year. Others went from F’s to A’s.

Most local schools made an A or a B. State Superintendent of Education Mick Zais said the federal letter grades reflect achievement and growth and are easier for parents and the public to understand.

But education officials said the new federal grading system, now in its second year, doesn’t create transparency, it creates confusion.

“Both systems become irrelevant because it is too hard to understand,” said Dana Yow, spokeswoman for the state Education Oversight Committee, a nonpartisan committee created by the Legislature in 1998 to oversee progress in South Carolina schools.

Both systems use the same test scores.

But the state system calculates a growth

grade calculated by measuring the progress made by individual students from year to year, as well as a performance grade that is based strictly on how students from a school scored on the test.

The federal system calculates improvement by comparing how a class did with the class from the year before.

Dr. Jason McCreary, director of accountability and quality assurance for Greenville County Schools and a parent of school-aged children, said, “What I see is a mess.”

McCreary said one thing is clear from the results – the state needs one accountability system.

He said educators aren’t afraid of accountability, but said, “There’s a lot of problems with having multiple accountability systems based largely on a snapshot that is a test score. Learning is a very complex, comprehensive process that cannot be whittled down to a score.

“Schools would be the first to tell you we can improve, we need to improve and we’ve got to continue to improve,” he said.

To see your child’s school’s test results, go to bit.ly/greenvillescores.

On the state’s high school exit exam, 85.3 percent of Greenville County’s firsttime test-takers passed both sections. The state’s passage rate was 82 percent, the highest ever.

“It’s not a black thing, a white thing or a Hispanic thing,” said Paul Guy, director of Beyond Differences. “It’s a youth thing.”

Access plans education programs and a career-planning center. The teens want franchises to locate in the facility’s food court to give teens an opportunity to work and get experience running a business.

Entertainment possibilities include an arcade and game room, open-mike forums, talent shows, mini concerts and even a skate park, something that has been talked about in Greenville for years.

19-year-old was beaten and robbed near Falls Park APRIL A. MORRIS | STAFF

amorris@communityjournals.com Greenville police are continuing their investigation into a robbery that occurred on the GHS Swamp Rabbit Trail last week.

On Thursday, Aug. 1, at approximately 10:30 p.m., 19-year-old Gideon Hackett reported that he was riding his bicycle up Furman College Way near the stone bridge in Falls Park when he approached about a dozen men.

According to police records, one of the men in the group pushed him from his bicycle and punched him in the eye. Then one of the men pointed a gun at Hackett and told him to lie on the ground. The men then stole his belongings, including his bicycle, phone and wallet. Hackett said he was kicked in the ribs before the group of men escaped on foot across the bridge.

Police are continuing normal security along the nearly 18-mile Swamp Rabbit Trail, which includes an officer patrolling on bicycle or ATV between 7 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., times of heaviest use on the trail, said Bragg.

Euphoria

WITHIN REACH Stuffy no more: Festival adds events geared toward food trends, young professionals

Organizers of Euphoria, the nationally acclaimed food, wine and music festival held in Greenville each September, want to keep one of the festival’s reputations this year while dispelling another.

Since being founded by restaurateur Carl Sobocinski and singer-songwriter Edwin McCain in 2006, Euphoria has earned a reputation as a first-class mix of food, drink

Two new events are designed to change that perception while maintaining the quality people have come to expect from the festival, said Gillian Trimboli, Euphoria’s event director.

“We want to broaden the appeal of Euphoria,” she said. “The food scene in Greenville is growing and we want to be able to involve more people.”

Euphoria runs from Sept. 26 through Sept. 29.

One of the new events is “Swine and

Dine,” a whole hog roast on NOMA Square on Thursday night.

The event will feature pitmaster Sam Jones of the Skylight Inn in Ayden, N.C., Roost chef Trevor Higgins and the Greenville-based band The Piedmont Boys.

Tickets are $75 each.

On Saturday night, Euphoria will take advantage of one of newest food trends in Greenville: food trucks.

Traffic Jam will feature eight food trucks, some from Greenville and some from out-of-state. The event will feature Seven Handle Circus, a Georgia band described

as “bad-ass bluegrass” with the “drive and energy of a rock band.”

The event will be held at the Old Cigar Warehouse. Tickets are $75.

“Food trucks are such a trend right now. It’s hip and young and fresh, and we want to have something for that young professional audience, the audience that is into what’s new in food and where their food is coming from,” Tromboli said.

Both of the new events will have a more casual vibe than some of the other Euphoria events, she said.

“People are really wanting a laid-back networking opportunity,” she said. “They want to be able to wear a polo shirt and jeans, have a cold craft beer and talk business in a setting that’s not stuffy. This gives them that.”

Euphoria will also include signature events such as Taste of the South, the Tasting Showcase, seminars, guest chef dinners and the Jazz Brunch.

Trimboli said Euphoria’s ticket prices are bargains when compared to other food festivals such as Charleston Food and Wine, Southeast Food and Wine and Aspen Food and Wine.

All Euphoria events are allinclusive and include food, beverage and music.

Southern Living magazine has dubbed Euphoria “the best little food festival in the South.”

Into thin air and back again A first-person account of a mountain biking adventure Part 2 of 2 KEITH SECHRIST | CONTRIBUTOR

In last week’s Journal, contributor Keith Sechrist began his firsthand account of the annual Bikes, Brews ‘n’ Views festival at the Beech Mountain Ski Resort. This week, his adventure concludes.

Descent We started to ride back down a gravel road and took another unnamed trail that was a grassy strip through shaded woods. It could have been a trail captured by an artist in the 1800s, but there we stood. We came out from Emerald Outlook onto the Beech Mountain Resort trails by a service road that’s normally hidden beneath snow. We rode the easiest part of the easiest course, but even so, the trail was extremely rocky and technical. We rode off the track by mistake and took a service road most of the way down.

After a decent meal at the resort’s bar, we waited out a rainstorm to go downhill biking. As I looked around, I saw the professionals in head-to-toe gear, some no more than teenagers, riding and talking to each other. The ones lucky enough to get a ride in before the lifts were shut down were caked in mud – smiling like it was a treat, not a tragedy.

Once the lifts reopened, riders sent their bikes up first on a bike tray and followed on chair lifts. We looked around at the trails from our vantage point: a freestyle course (wide jumps with little technical terrain), slalom course and professional courses. I could hear cyclists coming down the mountain, bursting out of the clearing mist at flying speeds as I watched them in their natural setting: the downhill course.

We came out of the clouds at the mountain peak and could see for miles. A member of the resort staff was at the top, holding my bike and inspecting it. I must have looked confused because he smiled and said, “Your bike’s too clean; you need to get some mud on it.” I laughed and promised to do my best.

The first trail we picked was called “All of My Love” because it was the easiest.

With that much love, it had to be safe, right?

The trailhead immediately dropped off down the mountain. The rocks gave way easily here, and there were fewer roots.

The rain’s runoff had dug out some of the trail and low spots were full of mud. One of the media folks “table topped,” or as Puckett said, “OTB, or over the bars for short.”

Mud Bath We took a small break halfway down and watched other riders fearlessly drop into the rock gardens, getting through with relative ease. We took our own version of the rock garden: a muddy and dug out trail, but the berms coming out of it shot you into the open field.

I tried to slow down using the rear brake, but the rocks and mud made it impossible as my back end began to slide out. I continued down, hit the next berm and jumped a bunny hill to gain speed. After I reached an uncomfortable

speed, I tried to dodge some of the mud by going in the grass – then I was on the ground.

Because of the angle, muddy, wet grass and disc breaks that locked as soon as I hit them, this would happen a few more times, but I had no serious injuries. I was covered in mud, but smiling. I was also hoping that nobody had seen me fall on this part of the trail.

Arrival Other riders from other trails meet us at the bottom, and then we all rode to the lift to do it again. You can’t help but look at how everyone else did coming down the mountain and see they are just as muddy as you are.

I didn’t expect to be winded by the end, but the drop from 5,500 to 2,200 feet provided a much longer ride than I was used to. Unlike in winter, there weren’t any long lift lines, so I couldn’t help but get back out and ride some more.

The most difficult part wasn’t the trails, but having to admit that it was time to leave and clean my bike.

GLOW Lyric Theatre’s season features the beloved, the controversial

CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Christian Elser is an operatic baritone, a member of the music faculty at Presbyterian College.

Jenna Tamislea is a versatile actress and stage director for straight and musical theater.

When the couple moved to the Upstate in 2008, they decided to try to find a genre that could fit the talents of both of them the best.

“We were looking for something in the middle,” Elser said.

That was operetta and, at the time, that was a niche that was underserved in Greenville’s vibrant theatrical scene. So they formed Greenville Light Opera Works. GLOW is now in its third full season and has a new name – GLOW Lyric Theatre, a name Elser said has allowed the theater to broaden the shows it does.

This weekend, GLOW will produce “Pirates of Penzance,” the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta.

“Who doesn’t love ‘Pirates?’” he said. “Even if you don’t think you know it, you know it. It was an easy choice.”

“Pirates” tells the story of Frederic, a young man who is released from his apprenticeship by the king of a band of tenderhearted pirates. He meets Mabel and falls in love.

But there’s a problem.

Frederic was born on leap day so his birthday actually comes around once every four years. Since his apprenticeship indentures say he remains apprenticed until his 21st birthday, he must serve another 63 years.

Glow Lyric Theatre actor Felipe Bombonato performs in “The Pirates of Penzance” at Centre Stage.

The King’s next target turns out to be Mabel’s father.

“Pirates” is GLOW’s third Gilbert and Sullivan production. The company performed “Trial by Jury” in 2010 and “The Mikado” the next year.

“Those are the three big ones, and ‘Pirates” is the most famous of the three,” Elser said.

“Pirates” premiered in the United States. “‘Pirates’ had a foothold in the U.S. It’s always been

popular here,” Elser said.

The cast of 25 features some local talent as well as visiting singers.

Local cast members include Brittnee Siemon, head of voice at the Fine Arts Center; Thomas Dickinson, a faculty member at the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities; Barry Combs, minister of music at Augusta Road Baptist Church; Ashley King, director of fine arts at Shannon Forest Christian School; and Chip Mays, music director at Seneca Presbyterian Church and co-owner of Foothills Pipe Organ LLC, an organ tuning and maintenance firm in Greenville.

• “Jesus Christ Superstar” – Aug. 15, 16, 17 at 8 p.m.

Aug. 17-18, 2 p.m.

WHO: GLOW Lyric Theatre

JOURNAL CULTURE Longtime Greenville actor and Woodmont High theater teacher Will Ragland designed the sets.

“We’ve got a fantastic cast,” Elser said.

“But as great as the ‘Pirates’ cast is, the ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ cast is just as great.”

“Jesus Christ Superstar” will be produced Aug. 15 through Aug. 18.

Both productions will be staged at Centre Stage.

“Jesus Christ Superstar” is a story of the last six days of the life of Jesus Christ told through the eyes of his betrayer, Judas Iscariot.

Elser said when he help formed GLOW, the original vision was to stage operas and the golden age of musical theater. He thought they’d shy away from modern pieces, modern being defined as post-1965. “ ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ fits the criteria of an opera. There are no spoken lines,” he said. “I really think it’s Andrew Lloyd Webber’s best work.”

Once again, the cast has a mix of local talent and visiting singers.

Following the Friday performances of each production, the company will present “La Hora Perdida: Songs for Renno,” original music by FLOW composer-inresidence Karl Johnson. Four members of GLOW’s Graham Apprentice Artist Program will be involved in the event, which does not require a ticket to the Festival perfor m an c e s for admission.

Elser said GLOW has been well received in the community.

This year, GLOW started its Graham Foundation Apprentice Artist Program with four artists who have ties to South Carolina.

“We’re closing the gap,” he said. “It allows young artists to get some professional experience.”

Elser said the company’s 2014 season will be held at the Peace Center.

A guild will be started in 2014, as well as a way to allow more people in the community to support GLOW. “So far, so good,” he said.

Some, to contact author Clyde Edgerton.

She had heard that actress Andie MacDowell had an option to turn Edgerton’s first book, “Raney,” into a movie.

Mason wanted to play the role of the aunt – “I was too old to play Raney and not old enough to play the mother,” Mason said – so she decided to pay Edgerton a visit to ask if he had any input into casting.

She didn’t get the role, but Edgerton and Mason kept in touch. Years later, after some prompting by a Furman University educa-

tion professor, Mason wrote a book on Edgerton’s work.

Edgerton is the focus of the inaugural Greenville County Reads, a series of programs based not on a single book written by an author but on that author’s entire body of work.

Mason, who became an English teacher

13 years ago, will open the series on Monday with a discussion of her book on Edgerton, “Reading, Learning, Discussing Clyde Edgerton,” and Edgerton’s work. The discussion will be held in the Hughes Main Library in downtown Greenville at 7 p.m.

Edgerton, who was born in Durham, N.C., and currently teaches at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, will close out “Greenville County Reads” with an appearance at the main library on Sept. 12.

Mason put what she called a “ridiculous, insane” amount of research into her book.

Mason believes everybody is a storyteller and everything is a story.

“It’s a primal necessity,” she said.

Southern literature has its own vernacular.

“We love to tell about ourselves. All of the stories are about us,” she said. “But in Southern literature, there’s the extra necessity of place. That differentiates Southern literature from other literature.”

Mason said a lot of urban-based literature could be plopped down in other places. Some stories based in New York City, for example, would work just as well if the setting were Chicago or Washington, D.C. But some of the Southern things couldn’t work in another setting.

“We trade in both arrogance and introspection and those two things are polar opposites,” she said. “We are defiant and melancholy at the same time. We tend to be nostalgic about a very oppressive time.

We don’t necessarily want progress, but we

Blues bloodline Shemekia Copeland was born to sing the blues – literally If you think Shemekia Copeland sings the blues like she was born to do so, her bloodline proves you right. The vocalist, who can range from a Cassandra Wilson-style husky whisper to a full-throated diva roar depending on the song, is the daughter of legendary Texas blues singer/guitarist Johnny Copeland. But Shemekia’s onstage swagger and vocal power are all her own. Since releasing her debut album (1998’s “Turn The Heat Up”) at age 19, Copeland has blazed a trail of modern blues excellence, working with superstars (and peers of her father) like Joe Louis Walker, Dr. John, Steve Cropper, Felix Cavaliere and Buddy Guy. Over the course of seven albums, Copeland has touched on soul and jazz in her choice of material, but her voice always keeps the blues at the forefront of her performance.

Copeland is playing the Peace Center’s outdoor TD Stage on Friday, Aug. 16, and I recently got a Who: Shemekia Copeland chance to speak with the woman who the 2011 Chicago Blues Festival crowned “Queen of the Blues.”

Where: The Peace Center’s outdoor Was there ever a point in your life where you TD Stage didn’t want to follow in your father’s footsteps?

When: Friday, Aug. 16, 7:30 p.m.

Absolutely. Early in my life, I didn’t want to do Tickets: $20 on the lawn, what my dad did, because I thought it was really hard, $35 at Genevieve’s you know? I actually couldn’t believe he was doing it. I thought being out onstage was scary. I thought Information: 864-467-3000 or traveling was scary. As a young person, I definitely peacecenter.org couldn’t see myself doing what my father did. And then something changed when I turned about 15 years old; the sands started to shift. I got a calling. And it was just time for me to do it.

What do you think of the state of blues music today?

I think that music is a natural progression. Whatever’s happening is supposed to happen, you know what I mean? You don’t have to like everything, but things are the way they are. I think that at some point there’s always a crash; things get crazy, a lot of strange things happen, and then finally, we get right back to the basics again.

It’s been about a year since your last album, “33 1/3.” Have you started thinking about your next album yet?

No, I have not, actually. I’m just enjoying “33 1/3” right now. I’m never in a hurry to make another record.

Really?

I like performing better. I have a good time making records, I work with great people making records, but I prefer to be on the stage. And for me, those records are like my babies; they’re like my children. You nurture an album and watch it grow. It’s not an easy thing to go through, the album-making process, especially when you care so much about it. It takes me a long time to pick and choose. What I put out into the universe is very important to me.

For the most part, you’ve interpreted other people’s songs, but you’ve done some writing, as well. Would you like to write more?

I’m not really a songwriter. I occasionally write songs, but I don’t consider myself a “songwriter.” Unfortunately, too many people out there think that they’re songwriters, which is the demise of our business, you know. If someone else writes a better song than me, then I’m going to do that song. Because I care about my fans not to just put anything out there just because I wrote it.

How do you choose the songs you perform?

I have to be able to jump inside a song and live in it. If I can’t get inside of a song, then I don’t perform it. When I do a song like “Ain’t Gonna Be Your Tattoo,” I put myself in that position: You’re not going to abuse me, mentally, physically or otherwise.

R e a l E s tat e N e w s Why Use a REALTOR®?

All real estate licensees are not the same. Only real estate licensees who are members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® are properly called REALTORS®. They proudly display the REALTOR “®” logo on the business card or other marketing and sales literature. REALTORS® are committed to treat all parties to a transaction honestly.

REALTORS® subscribe to a strict code of ethics and are expected to maintain a higher level of knowledge of the process of buying and selling real estate. An independent survey reports that 84% of home buyers would use the same REALTOR® again.

Real estate transactions involve one of the biggest financial investments most people experience in their lifetime. Transactions today usually exceed $100,000. If you had a $100,000 income tax problem, would you attempt to deal with it without the help of a CPA? If you had a $100,000 legal question, would you deal with it without the help of an attorney? Considering the small upside cost and the large downside risk, it would be foolish to consider a deal in real estate without the professional assistance of a REALTOR®.

But if you’re still not convinced of the value of a REALTOR®, here are a dozen more reasons to use one:

W NE

G TIN LIS

W NE

1. Your REALTOR® can help you determine your buying power -- that is, your financial reserves plus your borrowing capacity. If you give a REALTOR® some basic information about your available savings, income and current debt, he or she can refer you to lenders best qualified to help you. Most lenders -- banks and mortgage companies -- offer limited choices.

2. Your REALTOR® has many resources to assist you in your home search. Sometimes the property you are seeking is available but not actively advertised in the market, and it will take some investigation by your agent to find all available properties.

3. Your REALTOR® can assist you in the selection process by providing objective information about each property.

Agents who are REALTORS® have access to a variety of informational resources. REALTORS® can provide local community information on utilities, zoning. schools, etc.

There are two things you’ll want to know. First, will the property provide the environment I want for a home or investment? Second, will the property have resale value when I am ready to sell?

4. Your REALTOR® can help you negotiate. There are myriad negotiating factors, including but not limited to price, financing, terms, date of possession and often the inclusion or exclusion of repairs and furnishings or equipment. The

purchase agreement should provide a period of time for you to complete appropriate inspections and investigations of the property before you are bound to complete the purchase.

Your agent can advise you as to which investigations and inspections are recommended or required.

5. Your REALTOR® provides due diligence during the evaluation of the property. Depending on the area and property, this could include inspections for termites, dry rot, asbestos, faulty structure, roof condition, septic tank and well tests, just to name a few. Your REALTOR® can assist you in finding qualified responsible professionals to do most of these investigations and provide you with written reports. You will also want to see a preliminary report on the title of the property. Title indicates ownership of property and can be mired in confusing status of past owners or rights of access. The title to most properties will have some limitations; for example, easements (access rights) for utilities. Your REALTOR®, title company or attorney can help you resolve issues that might cause problems at a later date.

6. Your REALTOR® can help you in understanding different financing options and in identifying qualified lenders.

7. Your REALTOR® can guide you through the closing process and make sure everything flows together smoothly.

8. When selling your home, your REALTOR® can give you up-to-date information on what is happening in the marketplace and the price, financing, terms and condition of competing properties. These are key factors in getting your property sold at the best price, quickly and with minimum hassle.

9. Your REALTOR® markets your property to other real estate agents and the public. Often, your REALTOR® can recommend repairs or cosmetic work that will significantly enhance the salability of your property. Your REALTOR® markets your property to other real estate agents and the public. In many markets across the country, over 50% of real estate sales are cooperative sales; that is, a real estate agent other than yours brings in the buyer. Your REALTOR® acts as the marketing coordinator, disbursing information about your property to other real estate agents through a Multiple Listing Service or other cooperative marketing networks, open houses for agents, etc. The REALTOR® Code of Ethics requires REALTORS® to utilize these cooperative relationships when they benefit their clients.

10. Your REALTOR® will know when, where and how to advertise your property. There is a misconception that advertising sells real estate. The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® studies show that 82% of real estate sales

are the result of agent contacts through previous clients, referrals, friends, family and personal contacts. When a property is marketed with the help of your REALTOR®, you do not have to allow strangers into your home. Your REALTOR® will generally prescreen and accompany quali�ied prospects through your property.

11. Your REALTOR® can help you objectively evaluate every buyer’s proposal without compromising your marketing position. This initial agreement is only the beginning of a process of appraisals, inspections and �inancing -- a lot of possible pitfalls. Your REALTOR® can help you write a legally binding, win-win agreement that will be more likely to make it through the process.

12. Your REALTOR® can help close the sale of your home. Between the initial sales agreement and closing (or settlement), questions may arise. For example, unexpected repairs are required to obtain �inancing or a cloud in the title is discovered. The required paperwork alone is overwhelming for most sellers. Your REALTOR® is the best person to objectively help you resolve these issues and move the transaction to closing (or settlement).

Crossword puzzle: page 42 The West End String Band provided the live music at the first annual Zoo-B-Que at the Greenville Zoo. Participants had the chance to try free samples of barbeque and beer and vote for their favorite while visiting with the animals and listening to the live music. Proceeds raised at Zoo-B-Que are for the benefit of renovation of the lion’s den at the Greenville Zoo.

Zoo-B-Que brought hundreds out to the Greenville Zoo.

Joy from the past, a dream for the future Two August commemorations give the Upcountry a chance to celebrate and reflect

National archives

The established narrative of our state’s regional distinctions – the Upcountry, Lowcountry and Midlands – is one based on contrast and differentiation. Our region, the Upcountry, even received its moniker in juxtaposition to the far more evolved and developed Lowcountry. Throughout the 19th century, when Lowcountry elites travelled north to escape sweltering heat and mosquitos, they traveled to the Upcountry.

With Charleston touting the largest historic residential district in the nation, it is the Lowcountry, according to our storied state’s tale, who preserves its past. Recent accolades from well-regarded travel magazines such as Conde Nast suggest that heritage tourism and the Lowcountry’s efforts to mold its past into a powerful economic engine have been most successful. And it is the Lowcountry, of course, where the initial shots and sounds of our nation’s greatest internal conflict began. For many, South Carolina history is Lowcountry history.

In contrast, the Upcountry is often described as a forward-thinking, businessminded region. Yet the Upcountry has a strong past as well, and every so often we too take time to look back upon it.

In our community in August, two significant moments in our nation’s history will be commemorated, and will provide opportunities for us to reflect, honor and scrutinize ourselves and our community.

Three years ago, Congress designated every second Sunday in August as a National Day of Celebration for Spirit of ’45. The Spirit of ’45 was inspired by the iconic photo of Edith Shain, the “Times Square Nurse,” kissing a sailor in New York City’s Times Square on Victory in Japan Day (more commonly known as V-J Day), when news of Japanese surrender reached the U.S. The news of the war’s conclusion reached the Upcountry just after 7 p.m. on the evening of Aug. 14, 1945. Within 15 minutes, jubilant community gatherings were underway on main streets and squares. Revelers exploded firecrackers, tossed confetti, ignited bonfires, danced and cheered. The Spartanburg Herald reported that “watermelons flew like footballs.” Greenvillian Beth Evans Jones recalled in an oral history conducted by the Upcountry History

Museum-Furman University in 2009 that “We went uptown for two and a half hours, came home and ate, [and] then went back. We screamed, we hollered … we just did everything we could.”

Since 2010, communities across the country have hosted commemorations and celebrations to honor veterans and other members of the Greatest Generation who endured that all-encompassing conflict and who supported our country at a time when our needs demanded sacrifice.

Spirit of ’45 Upstate will thus commemorate this National Day of Celebration at 2 p.m. on the afternoon of Sunday, Aug. 11, with exhibits of memorabilia and vintage military vehicles and a parade. The culmination of the celebration will begin at 3 p.m. with an hour-long ceremony at Reedy River Baptist Church.

Two weeks later, our country will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the renowned speech Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. offered at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on Aug. 28, 1963. Before a crowd of 250,000 who had gathered on the National Mall in our nation’s capital, Dr. King rose to the podium, and with the iconic figure of the Great Emancipator, President Abraham Lincoln, sitting and staring intently behind him, offered our nation his vision for the society we could become.

He began by welcoming the crowd to “what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.” In the midst of our nation’s civil rights movement, he proclaimed that despite the challenges of the time, “I have a dream.” He aligned that dream to that of the American Dream, quoting from our Declaration of Independence. His vision was a world in which race was subordinate to character, actuating the values our Founding Fathers had professed.

Year of Altruism, in partnership with Furman University, the Upcountry History Museum-Furman University, Greenville Little Theatre and USC Upstate, will host Greenville’s commemoration of the March on Washington and King’s speech with two events.

At noon on Wednesday, Aug. 28, at the Upcountry History Museum-Furman University, Furman professor Dr. Cynthia King will offer “Altruism, Civility and Protest in Dr. Martin Luther King’s ‘I Have a Dream’ Speech.” Reservations for this insightful pre-

The commemoration of nationally and internationally-significant historical events such as Spirit of ’45 and the anniversary of the Dream Speech provides a forum upon which our community can contemplate such questions as: How do we maintain the spirit of selflessness and unity found in the aftermath of World War II? Has the “dream” that King presented so eloquently been realized?

Using our history to inform our present is a valuable exercise for any community, Upcountry or Lowcountry, for our success in the future can be enhanced greatly by community-wide conversations about who we have been, who we are and what we aspire to be.

That evening at 7:30 p.m., the Greenville Little Theatre will host “One Voice: A Black History Narrative.” In “One Voice,” local personality Jeremiah Dew presents a multimedia one-man show in which he assumes the identity of select African-Americans, including Dr. King and President Obama.
