Many mortgage lenders require a large down payment to avoid Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). We don’t. Our adjustable rate mortgages do not require PMI unless you borrow more than 90% loan to value. That means you keep more of your money for moving, furnishing–whatever you need to make that house yours. Talk to us about how you can save money with a competitive mortgage rate and lower down payment– whether you need an ARM or fixed rate, standard or jumbo.

Funding South Carolina Children’s Theatre instills value of the arts, enriches lives of families By By Alan Ethridge and Michael Cooper
Donate Goods
For the last 31 years, the South Carolina Children’s Theatre has impacted the lives of children and families throughout the state through theater, educational classes and workshops, and innovative outreach initiatives. In 2017 alone, SCCT touched the lives of over 50,000 youth and their families — many of them Title I-school students who were having their first and only arts experiences. SCCT has been a stalwart in Greenville’s cultural landscape since its inception. With Debbie Bell as executive director since 1999, it has truly experienced a renaissance of sorts. Under her wise direction and vision, the organization has been able to earn 63 percent of its annual operating budget; the remaining 37 percent comes from gifts and grants. These percentages are indicative of an arts entity that is financially very healthy, well-managed, and focused on its mission. SCCT not only delights audiences with its MainStage productions, but it also uses the art of theater to address and ameliorate pressing social problems for children such as bullying and drug use. SCCT has a proven track record of success with programs that focus on development in literacy, soft skills, emotions, and cognition. The organization also serves children with special needs through outreach in hospitals and with nonprofits focusing on health and human services. Its intrinsic value extends far beyond the current pressing needs of today’s youth. In 2014, the SCCT Board of directors embarked on a challenging and exciting new initiative for SCCT — a new facility on Augusta Street in the historic West End district that would allow the organization to add performance times, expand its programming and community offerings, and allow for handicapped-accessible and sensory-friendly performances, ultimately touching even more lives throughout the state. The geographical reach of SCCT extends well beyond Greenville — more than 60 percent of ticket sales come from outside the city limits and 34 percent outside of the county. Over the last eight years, the theater’s school-touring program has served almost 70 schools outside Greenville County and requests for outreach extend far beyond the Upstate. Because of its success and viability, SCCT is more than deserving of the $500,000 in state support that has recently been vetoed by Gov. Henry McMaster after being approved by both the state House of Representatives and Senate. Green-

Partnerships and joint ventures between art organizations are at an all-time high both here — and throughout South Carolina. This relatively modest investment of $500,000 will have a huge impact not only on SCCT but also on the entire state as an arts destination. We encourage you to contact your elected officials and ask them to override the veto and reinstate funding for SCCT. In providing such funding, South Carolina is investing in its youth and instilling the value of the arts to a younger generation that will help support the arts in the future.

Charter Institute at Erskine College offers bonus for sponsoring schools
AUTHORIZER
2 of the $ %
WORDS BY ARIEL GILREATH
CHARTER
SCHOOL Tucked near the back of Vamshi Rudrapati’s contract with the Charter Institute at Erskine College is a simple statement — if he brings in five charter schools by 2020, he’ll receive a $25,000 bonus. There are three ways a public charter school can exist in South Carolina: It must be sponsored by a local school district, by the statewide South Carolina Public Charter School District, or by an institution of higher education. Entities that sponsor charter schools are called “authorizers” and can receive up to 2 percent of each school’s state funding in South Carolina. Erskine’s charter institute hasn’t been around long, but it has a contentious history. Erskine College has had a history of financial woes. Tax filings from 2007 to 2016 show it consistently operated in the red. In 2014, the school was placed on probation by its accreditor because of finances. After increasing tuition, slashing salaries between 5 and 30 percent, eliminating a department, and cutting positions, the college was taken off probation a year later. Last July, Erskine College became the first private college in the state to sponsor charter schools, and the only institution of higher education in the state to currently sponsor charter schools — South Carolina State University briefly sponsored an on-campus lab school in 2014. State legislators have said they never anticipated that a private college would sponsor charter schools across South Carolina. Several bills were introduced in the
Legislature this past session to limit how many charter schools could be sponsored by a college or limit the amount of state funding colleges receive from them, but none made it out of committee.
“ I’ve never heard of that — of an individual getting a bonus based on the number of charter schools they oversee.” Greg Richmond, president and CEO of the National Association of Charter School Authorizers
The state Department of Education projects Erskine’s total state appropriations budget this year to be $70.8 million, most of which will go to its schools. The institute’s 2 percent share would equal more than $1.4 million. When the college announced it would sponsor charter schools, it said two were already interested — Cyber Academy of South Carolina, a Greenville-based virtual school, and the South Carolina Virtual Charter School,
based in Columbia. Both schools operated under the South Carolina Public Charter School District and had been placed in “breach” status by the district for consistently poor academic performance — one step away from having its charter revoked. Not long after seven more schools filed to transfer from the S.C. Public Charter School District to Erskine’s charter institute. Of those, three were in breach status, two were in caution, and two were not eligible for a status because they opened less than two years prior. From the start, the S.C. Public Charter School District did not support the schools’ intent to transfer and its board chair and superintendent referenced “authorizer shopping” where failing schools switch sponsors to evade responsibility and remain open. The schools argued that wasn’t their intent, but that they wanted more support from their sponsor, something Erskine promised to provide. Since then, Erskine has approved a total of 20 schools — 10 transferred from the S.C. Public Charter School District and five had applied to the S.C. Public Charter School District in the past and were denied. Two months after Erskine announced its institute, it named Rudrapati its director. Rudrapati had been employed with the statewide charter district for five years and was most recently the district’s director of federal programs, earning a salary of $77,700. Rudrapati resigned from the S.C. Public Charter School District on Sept. 18, 2017,

COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM in a late-night email to the district’s director of human resources. The Greenville Journal sent a Freedom of Information Act request for Rudrapati’s contract, which lists him as the institute director with a salary of $75,000. Near the end of his two-year contract, under a section titled “Bonus Structure,” it says Rudrapati “will be due a bonus of $25,000 at the end of the contract term if the Charter Institute at Erskine is serving as a sponsor of five or more schools at that time.” Greg Richmond, president and CEO of the National Association of Charter School Authorizers, said he had never heard of authorizer staff receiving a bonus for how many public schools they bring in. “We do surveys of authorizers and things like that, and it never even occurred to us to ask this kind of question — ‘Are you getting a personal bonus for authorizing schools?’” Institute CEO Cameron Runyan said the bonus was put in Rudrapati’s contract
because the agency was uncertain if the institute would be viable. “The reason that was put in there like that was that the charter institute needed an out if it wasn’t financially able to provide that — so it was always the intent of everyone involved to be able to give him that bonus on the back end, but we needed an out just in case,” Runyan said. Cathy Hazelwood, general counsel for the state Department of Education and former general counsel for the State Ethics Commission, said the contract doesn’t violate the state Ethics Act. “I know that there is rumbling here in Columbia about that term and that contract; however, it’s not because it’s a violation of the Ethics Act,” Hazelwood said. “There’s some sense that this is unseemly, but who knows?” Ryan Brown, spokesperson for the state Department of Education, said the department would not comment on the contracts of leadership at local education agencies.
Greenville student featured on ‘The Tonight Show’ A Greenville County Schools student and her invention were featured on the Aug. 9 segment of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” Elliana Trivett, who finished fifth grade at A.J. Whittenberg Elementary School earlier this year, showcased her invention, called the Hula Drop Stop, on the show’s “Fallonventions” segment. Trivett’s Hula Drop Stop is worn below the waist and keeps Hula-Hoops from falling to the floor. “Fallonventions” showcases students from across the country with inventions solving realworld problems. Trivett received a $5,000 check from “The Tonight Show” for her invention. In prior episodes, students featured on the show have invented devices ranging from a mess-free dog bowl to glasses that provide real-time closed captions.
The segment will also appear on the “Fallonventions” YouTube channel at NBC.com/Fallonventions. —Ariel Gilreath

10 | GREENVILLE JOURNAL | 08.17.2018 GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM espite being tucked away in the trees of Cleveland Park, the Greenville Zoo has become one of the city’s biggest attractions since opening nearly six decades ago, welcoming hundreds of visitors every year who want to see and hear some of the world’s most exotic animals, including lions, monkeys, giraffes, and even lemurs. Now the 14-acre zoo is poised to undergo a transformation that officials say will allow it to launch a new breeding program and offer improved veterinary care for its more than 200 animals. The zoo plans to open a new lions’ den and renovated veterinary hospital by mid2019, according to director Jeff Bullock. Both projects are part of the first phase of the zoo’s $65 million master plan, which was finalized in 2012. Bullock said the $1.7 million lions’ den will include a 1,600-square-foot holding building with three individual bedrooms and a breeding room, allowing the zoo to participate in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan for African lions. The program matches individual animals from accredited institutions across the country for breeding in order to ensure a genetically diverse and self-sustaining population is bred in the event it is needed for a reintroduction program to save threatened or endangered species from extinction in the wild, according to Bullock. Though currently not considered endangered, the wild population of African lions has declined by 43 percent over the past two decades due to habitat loss, climate change, difficulty finding prey, and hunting. Lions are considered vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The Greenville Zoo is home to two male African lions, Chuma and Saied. The brothers were born at Riverbanks Zoo and Gardens in Columbia in 2008 and sent to Greenville in 2010 on a breeding loan recommendation from the SSP. Bullock hopes to exchange one of the two male lions for a female once the new lions’ den is complete. But there are no guarantees that the zoo will be chosen as a breeding site since the Association of Zoos and Aquariums matches males and females based on factors like individual behavior and compatibility, reproductive cycle and genetic variability, and spaces available at other accredited institutions. Luckily, the Greenville Zoo has not only managed African lions but also bred ocelots and Amur leopards over the years, increasing its chances of selection as a breed-

LIONS, AND LEMURS, AND GIRAFFES! OH, MY! New animals and exhibits coming to Greenville Zoo in 2019 WORDS BY ANDREW MOORE
The Greenville Zoo’s $1.7 million lions’ den will include a 1,600-square-foot holding building with three individual bedrooms and a breeding room, allowing the zoo to participate in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan for African lions. Rendering provided by Craig Gaulden Davis.
ing site, according to general curator Keith Gilchrist. If the zoo is chosen for breeding, Gilchrist said visitors could expect baby news within months of the female’s arrival. The gestation period for lions averages three to four months, and litter size is usually two to six cubs. Gilchrist said the newborn cubs would stay with their mother in the new breeding room for three months before going on display. The zoo would then release the cubs into the exhibit and slowly introduce them to their father, who would be temporarily kept in a separate outdoor enclosure while the mother and cubs bond. Visitors would be able to watch the cubs grow thanks to a new indoor demonstration area and viewing window outside the breeding room, according to Bullock.
The zoo plans to open a new lion’s den and renovated veterinary hospital by mid-2019. Both projects are part of the first phase of the zoo’s $65 million master plan, which was finalized in 2012. Bullock and Gilchrist agreed that newborn lion cubs would likely become a hit attraction among Greenville residents and tourists alike, providing yet another platform for staff members to discuss the zoo’s conservation work with the public. Riverbanks, for instance, has experienced an influx of visitors since the debut of three female lion cubs in July, said Sue Pfaff, the zoo’s assistant mammal curator. The trio was born in April to Thabisa, the zoo’s 3-year-old female, and Zuri, a 13-year-old male. “Our attendance at Riverbanks has always been phenomenal, and we’re very proud and thankful for that,” Pfaff said. “But when our gate opens in the morning, people are running to see the cubs. I’ve really never seen anything like it.” Unfortunately, while the cubs could become a hit among zoo guests, they would not become permanent residents in Greenville, according to Bullock.

WE AIN’T LION TO YOU 5 wild facts about the big cat
• Living in the grasslands and open woodlands of subSaharan Africa, the lion is the second largest cat in the world after the tiger. • They usually live in groups, called prides. A pride consists of up to three males, a dozen related females, and their young. • Female lions, which are smaller and more agile than males, are the primary hunters of the group, using teamwork to bring down their prey. • A lion’s typical lifespan is between 10 to 14 years in the wild, whereas they can live up to 20 years in captivity. • Lions are the laziest of the big cats, sleeping an average 20 hours a day. After two years, the cubs would be eligible for the SSP. At that time, the cubs could either remain in Greenville or be transferred to another zoo for breeding purposes. Bullock said the new lions’ den will also include a banded mongoose exhibit. The banded mongoose is a

Other features include a green roof and formal training wall for the lions, allowing keepers to hold public demonstrations.

GREENVILLE ZOO ANNOUNCES FIRST ORANGUTAN BIRTH IN 12 YEARS ANDREW MOORE | STAFF
amoore@communityjournals.com
The Greenville Zoo has a new baby animal, the first of its kind to be born there in over a decade. Zoo officials announced on Tuesday the arrival of a female Sumatran orangutan born to parents Lana, a 33-year-old female, and Kumar, a 13-year-old male. It is the first orangutan birth at the Greenville Zoo in 12 years, according to administrator Jeff Bullock. The last orangutan born at the zoo was Bob, a male Bornean orangutan born to parents Mia and Chelsea in 2006. All three orangutans have since been transferred to other zoos. Lana and her 2.9-pound newborn appear to be healthy, according to Bullock. But a birth management team of seven staff members will care for the newborn until Lana has recovered from the cesarean section she underwent on Monday night. Bullock said Lana began showing signs
of labor around 10 p.m. Monday but began to tire as her contractions became more intense and the intervals shorter. The zoo’s staff members discussed the changes with local medical consultants, including an obstetrician-gynecologist and neonatologist, and decided to transfer Lana to a local veterinary hospital for the C-section, according to the release. Lana has since been monitored and provided with medication to help manage the pain from the surgery as she comes out of the anesthesia, according to the release. The birth management team will work in shifts around the clock, caring for and feeding the newborn orangutan until Lana is well enough to do so. Once Lana and her baby are reunited, they will be separated from Kumar and put into a den that’s “baby-proofed” with padded floors and cleared of shelving and climbing materials, Bullock told the Greenville Journal earlier this year. In preparation for the birth, the zoo’s

keepers started training Lana to hold and nurse her newborn by using a stuffed-animal orangutan. If Lana rejects her baby or is unable to provide proper maternal care, the zoo said it will explore options such as partial handrearing or identifying a surrogate mother orangutan at another zoo accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Details about Lana’s recovery and the baby’s progress will be shared in the coming days and additional pictures will be posted and shared on social media, according to the zoo. Bullock said Lana had never been given an opportunity to reproduce before arriving at the Greenville Zoo. Lana was born at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans in 1985 and transferred to the Cincinnati Zoo in 1990. She was sent to the Greenville Zoo two years ago on a breeding loan from Cincinnati, according to Bullock. The Species Survival Program, a program of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums that oversees breeding in accredited facilities to ensure the survival of threatened or endangered species, recommended her as a mate for Kumar. It wasn’t an easy courtship, however. “Introducing animals can always be tricky,” Bullock told the Greenville Journal earlier this year. “What I think made this situation trickier was the age difference. Kumar is just more active than she is.” Kumar was born at the Gladys Porter Zoo in Texas in 2005. Since arriving at the Greenville Zoo in 2016, the 13-year-old orangutan has broken out of his enclosure
DID YOU KNOW Sumatran orangutans are considered one of the world’s 25 mostendangered primates and are listed as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. The population is estimated to be under 15,000 in the wild. Rampant logging and the rapid expansion of palm-oil plantations have been blamed for destroying their jungle habitat throughout Indonesia, according to Kapustin. Plantation workers and villagers also attack adult orangutans that feed on their crops, while poachers capture babies to sell as exotic pets. three times. His most recent escape took place in January, when the zoo was closed for annual maintenance. Despite their differences in personality and age, Lana and Kumar eventually “learned to tolerate one another and were able to set their personal boundaries,” the release said. In May 2017, the keepers at the Greenville Zoo began to notice the physical characteristics of pregnancy becoming apparent in Lana. A human pregnancy test confirmed she was, indeed, expecting. Lana, however, suffered a miscarriage three months later. Bullock said the zoo will likely hold a naming contest for Lana’s new baby. Visitors can expect to see the orangutan family together on exhibit this fall or next spring, depending on the weather.

GREENVILLE PRO SOCCER TEAM UNVEILS NAME, COLORS ARIEL GILREATH | STAFF
agilreath@communityjournals.com
Triumph — that’s what the leadership of Greenville’s newest professional soccer team hopes to do. Greenville Triumph will be the Upstate’s newest venture into the world of professional soccer, nearly two decades after two of the city’s former professional soccer teams, the Greenville Lions and the South Carolina Shamrocks, folded from low profits. Started by entrepreneur Joe Erwin and his team at Erwin Creates, the Greenville Triumph name and navy/Kelly green colors were unveiled publicly Thursday at Pour Taproom. The franchise was awarded to the Greenville group by the United Soccer League in March after the organization announced it would start a new Division III league. At the time, Greenville was the third team announced for the division — now, the list has grown to include six teams across the United States and Canada. Until now, the team called itself Greenville Pro Soccer.
Doug Erwin, vice chairman of the franchise, said the group started with about 20 name ideas before slowly whittling it down to Triumph with community input via focus groups and surveys. “We wanted it to be something that was reflective of the community,” Doug Erwin said. “It was really about making sure we engaged the community in the process.”
Doug Erwin said the idea for the name came from the Upstate’s ability to reinvent itself after what seemed to be the decline of the South amid the fall of textile industries. “You look at where the city was in the middle of the century — we were the textile capital of the world, and as the textile industry started a seismic shift overseas and people started boarding up factories and laying off workers, and the downtown kind of fell into disrepair — I think it would have been easy to watch the region just kind of continue to go downhill,” Doug Erwin said. “But the spirit of the people of the Upstate to reinvent ourselves and pick ourselves back up after facing adversity, to reinvent the region as an international manufacturing hub, to reinvent the downtown to become one of the most desirable, vacationable small towns in America — one of the best places to live and raise a family — speaks to the triumph and spirit of human will.” Chris Lewis, president of the Triumph and past president of the Greenville Swamp Rabbits hockey team, said they hope to provide an experience to the community that goes beyond a soccer game.
“A sense of togetherness in terms of the community is what helped create that major triumph for the city to get it where it is now,” Lewis said. “We think that this team can be a vehicle for gathering people together and creating that sense of togetherness and community to create whatever the next triumph is for Greenville.” Lewis said the blueprints for a successful franchise are already here with the popularity of the Greenville Drive, and the hope is to reach a variety of people with soccer because of its international popularity. “This community is so diverse and inclusive and has such a rich international flavor, it really is a good fit for Greenville,” Lewis said. “Oftentimes, a team succeeds by sort of transcending the game.” The team isn’t just about a brand or a game — Doug Erwin said it’s about uniting the community. “As you look at how the name relates to soccer, or any sport for that matter, triumph being the goal on the field, we think it’s just a name that embodies the spirit of Greenville and of the entire Upstate,” he said.

TRAIL LIFE
With planned trail extension and sewer expansion looming, some say it’s time for a Laurens Road master plan WORDS BY CINDY LANDRUM
Two things about to happen in the Laurens Road corridor — an expansion of the Swamp Rabbit Trail from Cleveland Park to Verdae and the completion of a sewer line serving the former Department of Motor Vehicles site and the surrounding area — are expected to lead to explosive growth in the area. That’s why some say it is the perfect time for the city to formulate a plan for the area, whether through an update to the city’s comprehensive plan that is underway now or a separate master plan for Laurens Road. “That area of Laurens needs some planning,” said Greenville City Councilwoman Amy Ryberg Doyle, who chairs the council’s Committee on Planning and Neighborhoods. The Swamp Rabbit Trail expansion is the catalyst for the renewed interest in Laurens Road, especially the portion closest to downtown Greenville. Greenville County, which is managing the trail expansion, has removed the old rails and ties from the abandoned rail line and is working to secure the last easements needed for construction. In the meantime, city engineers are designing plans for how a $1.5 million flyover bridge near Willy Taco and across Laurens Road will tie into city-owned property just north of the Spinx gas station and into Cleveland Park. Making the connection could mean Richland Way near the stone tunnel under East Washington Street will be closed to traffic. No timetable has been set for construction of the bridge, Greenville County spokesman Bob Mihalic said. But that hasn’t stopped development. The popular

restaurant Willy Taco, which opened in a former feedand-seed store in 2016, is the most conspicuous example of trail-related development. Other projects in that vicinity are in the works, but none have been officially announced. “There’s no question the Laurens Road corridor is going to change dramatically because of the trail,” said Mayor Knox White. The city has had informal talks with key landowners along Laurens but White said it would be good to have a more-formalized process to ensure development in the area coincides with the desires of the city and residents in the nearby neighborhoods. Farther along Laurens, construction of a sewer line that will open up the Laurens and Pleasantburg area for development is underway and should be completed within the next two or three months, said Marcus McCall, owner of McCall Capital. McCall Capital is installing the sewer line in conjunction with its Laurens Village development, a multi-use development on the former state Department of Motor Vehicles site. White said the city also has a million-dollar stormwater project planned near the old National Guard Armory and Fairway Ford. McCall said his company is fine-tuning plans that will include apartments and possibly condominiums, retail, and possibly a small hotel and office space. McCall said the multifamily development would have extensive amenities and would be priced “a couple of notches below ultra-high end.” “It’s the perfect location,” he said. “It’s really a midtown location in relation to downtown. The concept pro-
posed is a perfect match for that site in Greenville. It’s a historic location that will set the tone for high-quality development along Laurens Road and Pleasantburg.” McCall said he expects construction on Laurens Village to start in 2019. “We’re frankly taking our time. We want to do it right and when we’re there, we’ll start,” he said. Think Tank Brew Lab is planned nearby and will have direct access to the expanded Swamp Rabbit Trail. “The growth that’s coming will be substantial over the next few years,” McCall said. “The Swamp Rabbit Trail is a significant game changer.” Terry Farris, Clemson University associate professor emeritus of real estate development and city and regional planning, said having a plan serves as a guide to overall development and environmental management of an area. “A plan lends stability,” he said. “It gives confidence to both parties. It gives confidence to the development community about what is envisioned so they can try to meet the given market and consider the feasibility of a project.” The mayor said a week doesn’t go by without somebody talking to him about Laurens Road. Once construction starts on the trail, White said he expects there to be a flurry of activity. “Landowners over there need to be open to other things,” he said. “Some are not thinking big enough.”

Lawsuit seeks removal of McPherson Lane barricade CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF
clandrum@communityjournals.com
A lawsuit filed against the city of Greenville and the Greenville City Council seeks the removal of the barricade that turned part of McPherson Lane into a one-way street. Fred Crawford and Marc Balsa, described in the lawsuit filed last week as residents of Greenville and users of city streets including McPherson, are suing individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated. The lawsuit comes on the heels of a more-than-year-long contentious battle over whether a barricade that turned one block of McPherson into a one-way street would be permanent. The Greenville City Council ultimately decided in May to keep the barricade as a traffic-calming measure, preventing motorists from using McPherson, a small residential street, to escape from or avoid the traffic gridlock on Augusta Street. Residents of McPherson and four other nearby streets — Warner Street, McDaniel Court, Camille Avenue, and Cothran Street — said they were promised the barricade as an answer to their concerns over increased traffic because of the redeveloped shopping center at the corner of Augusta and Faris Road. But residents of other streets in the neighborhood objected to the one-way, saying they weren’t notified the barricade would be erected and their streets were being adversely affected by increased traffic. The city has since said it will change its traffic-calming process and one-ways and street closures will not be options. According to the lawsuit, a city councilman who resided on that part of McPherson Lane advocated with city engineering and planning for closure of the inbound half of McPherson, and stated he would vote for pending zoning change on Augusta
Street only if McPherson was closed to incoming traffic. The councilman was David Sudduth, who lost his bid for re-election. “The purpose of this closure was to limit the automobile traffic on McPherson Lane and four small adjoining streets, for the benefit of a group of residents living on or near McPherson Lane, including the City Councilman, and to the detriment of the other users of McPherson Lane, to the detriment of City residents as a whole, and to the detriment of the public,” the lawsuit said. The lawsuit alleges the partial closing of McPherson Lane wrongfully interferes with the free and lawful flow of traffic on a city street dedicated to public use. Closing the street for the benefit of a few residents is also a breach of the public-trust doctrine, the lawsuit said. The city did not comply with “many sections” of its rules pertaining to traffic-calming devices and procedures, or the state Department of Transportation official traffic-calming guidelines for road closures, the lawsuit said. More than 70 percent of residents on McPherson and the four other streets voted in favor of making the barricade permanent and installing three speed bumps. The lawsuit alleges that if the city allowed all affected by the closure to vote, the outcome would have been different and McPherson Lane would not have been closed. Not allowing all affected by the closure to participate was a breach of the equal-protection clauses of the federal and state constitution, the lawsuit said. In a statement, the city admitted the matter could have been handled better but said City Council acted within its authority in approving one-way traffic on McPherson. “Accordingly, the city does not believe the legal claims presented by the lawsuit have merit and plans to defend them with vigor,” the statement said.
Southernside Community Center site could be redeveloped into affordable housing CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF
clandrum@communityjournals.com
Southernside Community Center and three other nearby parcels could be developed into affordable housing for seniors if a plan under discussion by the city of Greenville and the operators of Brockwood Senior Housing comes to fruition. Under a nonbinding letter of intent approved Monday by the Greenville City Council, the city would donate the land to the Southernside Block Partnership if it secures financing and zoning approvals within 18 months. The deed would have a reversionary clause that would revert the title back to the city if any of the properties no longer were used for affordable housing. The Southernside Community Center site and the three parcels — at West Washington Street adjacent to Brockwood Senior Housing, at West Washington and South Hudson streets, and at Nassau, Meadow and Oscar streets — are part of 25 acres the city owns along the edges of the new Unity Park. The city plans to use that land for new affordable housing to counter rising property values and housing costs around the park and in the surrounding neighborhoods near downtown that some say are squeezing out lower-income and working-class residents. Unity Park will be built on 60 acres bordered by Hudson, Mayberry and Meadow streets with an estimated cost of $40 million, half coming from the city and half from private and corporate fundraising. The first phase of the park is expected to open in 2020. Unity Park’s purpose is twofold — to provide needed green space and to give an economic boost to an area of the city that has thus far been largely left out of the growth Greenville has seen in recent years. Southernside Block Partnership proposes to build 125 units on the property, according to Ginny Stroud, the city’s community development administrator. A 2016 study showed the city has a shortage of more than 2,500 affordable housing units. The resolution passed Monday by City Council gives the city manager authorization to execute nonbinding letters of intent from developers interested in redeveloping city-owned properties adjacent to Unity Park for affordable housing. The letters should be “innovative and creative, and include a variety of housing options serving multiple incomes,” the resolution says. The resolution also authorizes the city manager to develop an affordable housing vision including the parameters by which city-owned properties will be disposed for review by City Council.
Reading Vision Correction is Here! Advanced Treatment for Dry Eye The inlay is a tiny porous ring placed in the cornea. It works like a camera aperture, returning reading vision to patients.
Dry Eye affects an estimated 25 million Americans and is the most common reason for a visit to an eye specialist. It is a complex disease involving the tear quantity, quality, inflammation, and eyelid oil or Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD).

HONORED TO LEAD Greenville veteran Doug Greenlaw named national commander of the Military Order of the Purple Heart WORDS BY ANDREW MOORE
O
ne of America’s oldest veterans service organizations is now under local leadership. Greenville resident and U.S. Army veteran Doug Greenlaw, who is the chairman of Community Journals Publishing Group, has been named national commander of the Military Order of the Purple Heart of the USA. Founded in 1932, the Military Order of the Purple Heart is a Virginia-based nonprofit dedicated to “the protection and mutual interest of all combat-wounded veterans and active-duty men and women” who have received the Purple Heart, a decoration for wounds sustained in combat, according to a news release. The group’s services range from helping combat-wounded veterans navigate the maze of government entitlements to providing rides to a Veterans Administration hospital to finding donors who can provide wheelchairs to those who need them. “I cannot put into words the honor it is to be elected by my peers as the national commander of the Military Order of the Purple Heart,” Greenlaw said. “I am honored to help the order march into a challenging future and complex culture as we continue to assist our country’s military men and women every day.” Greenlaw said he has both the military service and business acumen needed to lead the Military Order of the Purple Heart, which has about 46,000 members nationwide. A decorated Vietnam War veteran, Greenlaw served as an Army officer, graduating from Officer Candidate School at Fort Benning, Ga. He then trained officer candidates for one year before enrolling in “jungle expert” training at the Infantry School in Panama, South America, according to a news release. Following his training, Greenlaw served as a first lieutenant, joining the forces in Vietnam as a platoon leader, receiving a brigade-level promotion to company commander in 1967 and 1968 while serving with the 196th Light Infantry Brigade.
Greenlaw was wounded once as a platoon leader in the fall of 1967 and gravely wounded as a company commander during the Tet Offensive in the spring of 1968. He is the recipient of the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, and two Purple Heart medals. Upon his return from Vietnam, Greenlaw earned a Bachelor of Science degree in communications from Indiana University and joined the media world.
“ I cannot put into words the honor it is to be elected by my peers as the national commander of the Military Order of the Purple Heart. I am honored to help the order march into a challenging future and complex culture as we continue to assist our country’s military men and women every day.”
Doug Greenlaw
In addition to helping launch Community Journals Publishing Group, Greenlaw has held several key leadership positions with Viacom, the world’s ninth largest media company, and Multimedia Inc., which was purchased by Gannett in 1996. Currently, Greenlaw serves as the chairman and CEO of Greenlaw Communications, which operates small-market television companies. He’s also on the board of directors of The Bank of New York Mellon Corp. and its subsidiary, Alcentra Capital.
Greenlaw has been a member of the Military Order of the Purple Heart since 1996, when he was introduced to the organization by former Republican presidential nominee and U.S. Sen. Bob Dole, a World War II veteran, who had chosen Greenlaw to serve as vice chairman of veterans outreach during his 1996 presidential campaign. Greenlaw has since served as the state commander and national chairman of the Military Order of the Purple Heart. He’s also the co-founder and former commander of the Capt. Kimberly N. Hampton MOPH Chapter 845 in Greenville. During his tenure as national commander, Greenlaw said his primary goal is to improve the Order’s finances by restructuring the Purple Heart Foundation, a sister entity tasked with raising money for the organization, and launching a new fundraising campaign. “The order’s financial needs are in jeopardy as we have never seen before in our history,” Greenlaw wrote in his nomination letter to order members. “While revenues continue to erode, expenses have grown considerably. Our foundation’s net asset value has deteriorated to the point that operating expenses cannot be covered. We are losing money every year with inadequate funding on the horizon.” In order to improve the Order’s finances, Greenlaw wrote that his fundraising strategy would “initially raise corporate funding, filling the short-term financial gaps while simultaneously building a celebrity-driven national fundraising drive.” Greenlaw said he’s already received an endorsement from Fred Smith, chairman and CEO of FedEx Corp., and plans to meet with other top U.S. business executives, including the CEOs of Google, Facebook, Amazon, and Apple. He also said the Order is coordinating a meeting with President Donald Trump, who has long championed veterans issues and promised to reform the Department of Veterans Affairs, improve access to health care, and provide veterans with education.

all of our electrical, plumbing and HVAC needs.”

FUNDRAISING Walmart and Sam’s associates recognized for $11 million Children’s Hospital contributions Recently during Walmart Day at Greenville Memorial Hospital, regional Walmart and Sam’s Club representatives were recognized for their annual Children’s Miracle Network fundraising efforts. Partners with CMN for 31 years, Walmart and Sam’s Club have raised more than $11 million for Children’s Hospital of Greenville Health System. The funds raised help support specially trained child-life specialists, facility dogs, camps for kids with various medical conditions, and research to help young patients heal physically and emotionally. Providing care to more than 400,000 children a year, GHS Children’s Hospital has the region’s largest group of pediatric specialists.
“We love Walmart and Sam’s Club associates,” Robin LaCroix, GHS Children’s Hospital medical director, said in a news release. “Their passion for our hospital over the years and asking customers and members to donate has made a tremendous difference in our ability to provide the most comprehensive health services for our children and their families in our community.”
FOOD DRIVE Publix raises more than $73,000 to feed the hungry Through the company’s annual Food for Sharing and Food for All campaigns, Greenville Publix grocery stores have donated more than 25 tons of nonperishable food and $73,306 to Loaves & Fishes food rescue. Publix Super Markets Inc. strives to feed the hungry in its communities through campaigns encouraging shoppers to donate food or money. Loaves & Fishes’ partnership with Publix feeds more than 253,000 people approximately 475,000 meals. The funds raised through Publix’s campaign will help rescue and deliver fresh food to the hungry daily. “Our trucks drive approximately 62,000 miles annually and the financial donation from Publix and their customers helps purchase fuel and provide maintenance on our refrigerated trucks which is an ongoing operational expense for which we often seek funding,” Paulette Dunn, executive director of Loaves & Fishes, said in a news release. All of the food donated during the campaign will feed the hungry in Greenville County. “As a food retailer, our single biggest opportunity to give back is in alleviating hunger,” Kim Reynolds, media and community relations manager for Publix Super Markets, said in the release. “It’s an honor to partner with Loaves & Fishes to help meet the needs of children and families in our communities.”

COMMUNITY VOICES
Recovery: Being the exception to the rule By Mary-Catherine McClain Riner Eating disorders and substance abuse and addiction are full of paradoxes. For example, an individual feels protected if his or her body is too thin or too big — thus making the person feel “unattractive” and “safe” from being vulnerable and hurt by others. On the other hand, eating disorders increase vulnerability by making the body physically unhealthy, weak, and isolated from loved ones. Similarly, an individual may feel power by restricting intake and controlling body size and appearance. However, this obsaessive focus on body, food intake, and overall size leads to compulsive behaviors that actually take control over the individual. The scale may lead to feelings of happiness and confidence one day yet create feelings of despair, sadness, and anger the following day. One common message I hear in private practice is the desire to be unique. Similarly, some patients have difficulty going into treatment because they do not think they are “sick enough” compared with person X and Y. Clients often communicate that it is OK for a friend to have a muffin, yet it is not acceptable for them to consume a muffin because it would lead to weight gain. Alternatively, some people feel the need to exercise for longer durations because they feel they have slower metabolisms than their peers. In other words, there seems to be a conviction that they are special and that rules don’t apply to them. This type of thinking is very dangerous and represents a negative trap for remaining stuck in distorted and unhealthy patterns of behaviors. While the human body is resilient, it will not accept such illusions or exceptions to the rule. The body will respond to danger (e.g., eyelids blinking faster to avoid dirt) un-

less it is too numb or too weak to be present — which often happens when the body is undernourished or under the influence of substances. The body also does not lie. For example, someone may say he or she isn’t sick enough and blood results may appear normal, yet a body-density scan will reveal a diagnosis of osteoporosis. A significant part of treatment and recovery is reconnecting with the body and learning how to listen to and honor it. This is extremely difficult because it requires courage, hope, faith, trust, and strength to let go of illusions and seek reality. The longer someone has struggled with addiction, the more challenging it may be to release negative ways of thinking and behaving. Binge eating and restriction do not lead to sustained improvements in anxiety and depression. To achieve freedom and more emotional control, a person needs to address and process the underlying roots and concerns that are leading to negative urges and related behaviors. Staying present and being connected is incompatible with numbness or a loss of consciousness. Ultimately, the process of being in the moment and approaching underlying feelings provides freedom and a fresh start toward becoming friends with your body. The body is no longer considered an enemy but rather a trusted companion. Another principle in treatment is looking beyond the individual level; instead of trying to be unique or normal, examine what health truly means to you and not how society, a friend, a sibling, or family member defines health. Be alert to tricks and illusions — specifically recognizing that the sense of being alive further proves the rule. Allow yourself to do what everyone else can do as you take your body where it needs to go. As you choose to enter recovery, consider letting go of defenses and rules, and ask yourself the following:
• How are you denying your body’s requests today? • What are you doing to grant requests made by your body? • How are you continuing to punish your body? • What are you doing to reward your body? • What are ways to reconnect with your body? •W hat is one way you can show your body trust, kindness, and friendship today? Remember, even as you learn a rule based in reality, you are still subject to it. Recovery and treatment require consistent reflection, vulnerability, honesty, and self-awareness. Search for traps, lies, and mind games, and most importantly, invest in a relationship with yourself and body. Do not be afraid to seek help.

Restoration Retail Coffee bar installation hints at building’s historic past Words by Stephanie Burnette Photo by Alexa Lephart
One of Spartanburg’s premier downtown buildings has been sitting empty for nearly a decade. On the corner of East Main and Liberty is Aug. W. Smith, once a majestic department store in the grand tradition of Southern downtown retailers. It was named for Augustus Wardlaw Smith, its proprietor along with co-owner H. Frank McGee. The building was designed in 1926 by Lockwood, Greene and Co. Engineers with an exterior of local brick, stone, and cast-in-place concrete. It remained in business for more than 55 years and was beloved for its showcase plate-glass windows and elaborate displays designed by James “Buck” Buchanan. Until recently it’s been one of the moreinquired-about empty structures in the Upstate with many fearing it would be demolished for redevelopment, but Greenvillebased developer Blue Wall Real Estate stepped in to reimagine the iconic Spartanburg building as 45 luxury urban apartments grounded by retail. McMillan Pazdan Smith Architecture was retained to design the adaptive reuse of the property. The back of the first floor contains the most interesting of spaces. Sandra Cannon Interior Design was employed to create a common area for residents: part party room, part coffee bar, and part meeting place. A feature wall now includes a nod to the building’s retail past; what looks like a fine art mosaic is an installation of credit card blanks in a sea of blue. The water-like wall is the work of Spartanburg artist Laura Flacy, based on a design idea by Cannon. It is 20 feet high and 18 feet wide and utilizes 5,000 credit card blanks. It took Flacy four days on scaffolding to glue the varying blue credit cards, along with some white and black ones to create depth. “The trick was to source the quantity of cards in ’s specific three brand shades of blue,” says Cannon. “It gives a real nod to the building’s past which I like. Laura did an amazing job, it has a liquid feel as you look at it that’s modern too.”

SUSTO’S JUSTIN OSBORNE TO PLAY SOLO ACOUSTIC SHOW AT RADIO ROOM VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER
vharris@communityjournals.com
SUSTO started back in 2014 as the creation of Charleston singer/songwriter/guitarist Justin Osborne. After the breakup of his previous band, the popular indie group Sequoyah Prep School, Osborne took some time off and wrote a set of songs that defied easy classification. The core of the tunes was acoustic, country-tinged folk, but Osborne’s winsome voice and an evocative, ghostly production gave SUSTO’s self-titled debut album an ethereal, otherworldly shimmer. On the band’s second album, 2017’s “… And I’m Fine Today,” SUSTO went bigger, bringing in strings, keyboards, and choir-like backing vocals, taking the muted, greytoned feel of the debut and splashing it with Technicolor. Osborne’s songs were just as strong, but it was clearly more of a fully realized band effort than simply a singer/ guitarist and some hired hands. Given the difference between these two records, it’s going to be interesting to see how Osborne handles the songs when he plays a solo acoustic show Friday at Greenville’s Radio Room. The selections from the first album will probably sound relatively similar to their full versions. The songs from “… And I’m Fine Today,” Osborne says, will be reshaped quite a bit. “I think it’s cool to try to adapt those songs,” he says. “There are a lot of instruments and parts on “… And I’m Fine Today,” so I think that trying to bring the same vibe with

just one person and a guitar can be really interesting. You’re exploring the same melodies, but instead of being a synth, it might be with the vocals.” It’s interesting that this show is happening at all; one would think that Osborne would welcome a break after essentially spending the past year and a half on the road with his band. But he says that it’s actually difficult not to be playing some kind of show somewhere, even if he’s just by himself. “It’s hard for me to stop moving completely,” he says. “Whenever the band takes time off, it’s nice to have some shows where I can have a different experience with the crowd and do something different performance-wise. I just thought it would be cool to do a solo show because last time we were in town we had a really good crowd, so I knew there were some SUSTO fans and I just wanted to give people a chance to hear the songs in a different way and hear some new songs. I’m getting ready to go into the studio at the end of the month, and I want to try some new stuff out.” Those new songs will largely deal with what Osborne has experienced in the past four years with SUSTO. The band’s two albums have met with wild critical acclaim from all over the country, with The Charlotte Observer writing that “… And I’m Fine Today” “adds to the band’s gentle roots and Americana base with layers of synthesizers, moments of sonic grandeur, and full-on rock songs that echo Drive-By Truckers and Tom Petty. But more often than not, it’s Osborne’s lyrics and earnest delivery against beautiful soundscapes that draw the listener in. He shares intimate stories about drugs, acceptance, screwing up, and choosing the path less traveled.” ConsequenceOfSound.com noted that SUSTO creates “the kind of music that just hits in the right way on those long, dark nights of the soul. Hell, it might even make you laugh when you’re done mopping up those tears.” It’s a level of acceptance and acclaim for Osborne’s music that he has both welcomed and tried to keep at arm’s length. “We’ve just been trying to do our best and ride the wave,” he says. “Any kind of approval we’ve gotten from fans or press, I just take as a mandate to keep doing what we’re doing. But if you pay more attention to it than just regarding it as a thumbs up, it can really affect what you’re doing. Keeping that stuff out of your mind is important.
Grants Feature The Metropolitan Arts Council’s quarterly grants program is the backbone of the organization, and it provides project support to individual artists, arts organizations and arts education programs throughout Greenville. Featured below are a few projects that were recently funded in part by a grant from the Metropolitan Arts Council.
EMILY CLANTON
Summer Mokuhanga Print Workshop Goal: to particpate in the Mokuhanga print workshop at Whitman College Emily received an individual artist grant to attend the 2018 summer Mokuhanga Print Workshop which was led by printmaker and book artist, Tuula Moilanen, founder of the Finnish Woodcut Artists Society. Tuula taught Japanese woodblock print techniques in the morning, and workshop participants practiced in the afternoon and evenings. “I’m one of the many Americans who would like to earn a master’s degree, but I hesitate due to the cost. In the meantime, I seek out professional development opportunities on my own....Of course, none of this would have been possible without financial support from the local community. So please know that when you donate to the Metropolitan Arts Council, you’re supporting artists like me.” - Emily Clanton

BACKSTAGE
WORDS BY NEIL SHURLEY | PHOTO BY WILL CROOKS
When did you first become involved in acting, and when did you know this is something you wanted to do long term? I was first involved in theater when I was in high school, in community theater productions of “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” and “The King and I.” Growing up in a small town in Alabama, things are so sports-oriented, and my brother was a very well-known baseball player in the community, and my sister was a very well-known cheerleader and singer. So then it was me going, hmm, where do I fit? And once I did those shows, I thought, hey, I think I’ve got something here. In my high school we had no theater whatsoever, so my senior year I went to our English teacher and said, “We should put on a show.” She started the drama club and we did “Little Shop of Horrors” — I played the dentist. We did it in the gym of the elementary school and we had to round up people to fill out the cast. But it was college that helped me learn about the craft, learn that it wasn’t just fun, that there was a craft to it. And I fell in love with that aspect of it, the craft.
What actors inspire you?
Q&A
WITH ACTOR MATT REECE
Matt Reece considers himself first and foremost a storyteller. “I love telling stories,” he says. “And we exist to tell those stories through the craft and art form of acting.” He grew up in Alabama, earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Montevallo, and joined The Warehouse Theatre’s Journeyman program in 2002. After that, he traveled a bit and worked at the Orlando Shakespeare Festival. But ultimately the lifestyle of a traveling actor was not for him, and after returning to Greenville for a couple of shows, he fell in love with the area and decided to stay. Since then, he’s appeared in countless productions on local stages, including memorable roles in “The Merchant of Venice,” “The Rocky Horror Show,” “Angels in America,” and “The Explorer’s Club.” He’ll be back at the Warehouse later this year as an embittered adult Tiny Tim in an encore production of “Christmas on the Rocks.”
For me, it’s seeing artists that I know, especially the local ones here in town, when I see them accomplish something in a role that even I didn’t know they were capable of, to see their work and their growth over a course of time. And also people like Taylor Marlatt or Jessica Eckenrod or Jon Kilpatrick and so many other people, when they sing. I just … I can’t do that. That’s amazing. There are so many artists that I’ve known for so long, I could go down a list — Kerrie Seymour, Anne Tromsness, Meagen and Thomas Azar, Miranda Barnett, Brock Koonce, Chip Egan — if someone were to tell me we’re doing a play, we want you to be in it, and you’re going to be acting opposite one of these people, I’d be like, “Yes. What’s the play? It doesn’t matter. I’ll be there. Yes.”
What do you most enjoy about Greenville’s theater scene? Really, there’s nothing better than telling a story with your friends and inspiring each other through the process. Also, seeing so much new talent coming through. There’s not a show that I see that I don’t go, “Who is that?” For instance, when I saw “Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson” — Sarah Adams was the bandleader who sang the last song, and I saw her and just thought, “Who is that? I like that!” And there’s such a strong local base of people that collaboration can occur. I think it’s great that the theaters are willing to let each other borrow things if it works for the play that they’re doing. And you have actors who work at all the different theaters and are constantly giving shoutouts to each other on social media or attending other shows. And the theaters work together to plan and create seasons sometimes, too. That level of collaboration is great. And it does really give you a sense of community.
How has Greenville’s theater scene changed since you first became involved? Since I’ve been in town, I’ve seen many artistic directors come in, but the one thing that’s remained consistent is the talent base. And that talent base is growing and changing. And so is the audience. When I did “The Drawer Boy” at The Warehouse with Chip Egan, we had a matinee — we were three people in the cast, and there were three people in the audience. And now shows are selling out in theaters. I’ve seen all the organizations grow over the years and develop their own style and their own base, too. It seems like each theater has developed its own personality.
What is your hope for the future of theater in Greenville? I hope it continues to grow and flourish, obviously. And in doing so, I hope that opens up the doors for more opportunities for more artists. I can’t believe the amount that salaries have increased since I’ve been in town, and I think people shouldn’t be afraid to approach it as a business and advocate for themselves. And as much growth as we’ve had, I really hope that the organizations don’t lose sight of their roots. All the theaters in town tell stories that are relevant to the community at large and are told by people who live and work in the community. And that’s what has drawn the talent pool that we have and the audiences that we have. And I hope that continues.

Little Lesley & The Bloodshots
The Velo Fellow | 1 Augusta St. No. 126, Greenville | 9 p.m. | Free
For years, the Upstate band Little Lesley & The Bloodshots operated as a trio, putting on their best 1950s-era finery and hitting the stage to play fulltilt, old-school rockabilly, without any of the punk or hard-rock trappings that the genre seems to have taken on in recent years. And Little Lesley, aka Lesley Swift, was always center stage wielding a standup bass, twirling it, rocking it around, and even standing atop it while banging out that heartbeat rockabilly CONCERT thump. But recently, Swift has expanded the band and moved over to rhythm guitar, which has opened up their music, even if the change gave her pause. “I was really worried about it because I think that one of the things that helped me get myself out there was that idea that I’m this really small person playing this big bass,” she says. “Visually, that was interesting to people, and that’s why we focused on it in the photographs. It’s been such a good marketing tool.” But Swift had grown restless with the band’s sound and decided it was time to shake things up, and her propulsive rhythm guitar has given The Bloodshots a new bounce, not to mention more focus. “It allows me to physically focus on singing,” she says. “And I think that the extra layer of the rhythm guitar has added this more danceable feel to the music.” —Vincent Harris FRI-SUN

Radio Room | 110 Poinsett Highway, Greenville | 8 p.m. | $7
For anyone who loved the loud, fast, and snotty hardcore punk rock of the early 1980s, the new split 7-inch LP release by Charleston’s Hale Bopp Astronauts and Columbia’s Soda City Riot will scratch a serious itch. It’s basically four songs of angry but insanely catchy hyper-speed rock with activism and anger to spare, and it’s surprising how much the bands’ respective sounds have in common while still remaining independent from one another. The split 7-inch LP has been a staple of punk rock for decades, and Soda City Riot guitarist Billy Ray says it’s a great opportunity for people to sample two bands for the price of one. “I think it shows the best of both worlds,” Ray says. “It’s what I like to call ‘sharing the state.’ We like to try to build a circle of friends and a good network, and that’s one way to make things work is to do those split releases.” The idea of networking is also why Ray loves multiband shows like the one Soda City Riot is playing at the Radio Room. “I think it’s a great idea, especially when you have a venue that’s able to have different kinds of bands come in from different areas,” he says.

Freddie Wooten, a veteran Upstate drummer and drum-kit builder, has done many benefit concerts for various causes, and one of his most popular concepts has been a re-creation of the 1969 Woodstock festival, with local musicians taking on classics by Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, Joe Cocker, and more. But for “Message to Love,” a benefit for 8-year-old Lennox Ostendorff, who was recently diagnosed with a chromosomal disease called X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, Wooten looked to another legendary musical event: 1970’s Isle of Wight Festival. “The list of artists who performed there was incredible,” Wooten says. “It was just as amazing an event as Woodstock, if not more so: The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Chicago, Sly & The Family Stone, and Joni Mitchell all played, and it was the second-ever performance by Emerson, Lake & Palmer.” Recruiting a slew of Upstate acts including The Eric Weiler Group, Sound Committee, True Blues, Kelly Jo, The Bad Popes, and more, Wooten has assembled a three-hour-plus show named after a documentary about the festival. And it’s all for a family and a little boy who mean the world to him. “When this diagnosis happened, it was such a devastating thing for Lennox and his parents, Gentry and Holly,” Wooten says. “They’re like family, and because of that connection, it was important for us to try to do something.”
