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.

DINOSAUR DISCOVERY Museum’s newest exhibit is a blast from the past WORDS BY ANDREW MOORE | PHOTO BY WILL CROOKS

cientists say it was one of the largest explosions in the history of Earth. Long before the existence of humans, at the end of the Cretaceous Period, an asteroid struck what is now Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, releasing a billion times more energy than the nuclear bombs that destroyed the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. Sonic booms shook the land. Massive tsunamis flooded every coast. Acid rain engulfed the landscape. Firestorms scorched the globe. And debris rained from the sky, leaving much of the planet in darkness. Within mere geologic moments, the impact killed off about 75 percent of all plants and animals, including the dinosaurs that once roamed the primeval forests and coastline of present-day South Carolina. Now, about 66 million years later, the Upcountry History Museum in downtown Greenville is bringing the prehistoric giants back to life with its newest exhibit: “Dinosaurs: Land of Fire and Ice.”

Created by the Minnesota Children’s Museum, the traveling exhibit aims to transport visitors back to the Cretaceous Period, allowing them to explore dinosaur habitats — and the creatures who populated them. Designed for young children ages 3 to 10, the bilingual exhibit (Spanish and English) features two distinct dinosaur environments (warm and cold) and numerous science activities, according to Elizabeth Gunter, director of education and programs at the Upcountry History Museum. As visitors walk through the 2,000-square-foot exhibit space, they will also come face-to-face with a number of sculpted, touchable dinosaur models, featuring the most recent scientific findings about colors, textures, and structural form, according to Gunter. “This exhibition not only features dinosaurs and their environments, but explores the process of scientific discovery, a process that is often used by historians and archeologists who are studying past human culture,” Gunter said. “We hope that this

exhibition will help our visitors see one connection between science and history.” Gunter said the “Land of Fire” section is based on the warm-weather habitats dinosaurs occupied in present-day Montana in the Late Cretaceous.

The exhibit’s “Land of Fire” section features realistic models of the Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus rex, one of the largest bipedal carnivores to roam North America.

This section is home to realistic models of the Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus rex, one of the largest bipedal carnivores to roam North America. It also features

a smoldering volcano and swampy bog, which is designed to replicate the spongy surface of a prehistoric forest. Children can also become part of the surrounding environment by putting on a costume and venturing around the exhibit as one of three animals: a dragonfly, a bee, or a baby Troodon, a small, two-legged dinosaur that dates back to about 75 million years ago. Gunter said the exhibit utilizes new research about the climates in which dinosaurs were able to survive. The “Land of Ice” section, for instance, is based on the polar forests and various other habitats that dinosaurs occupied in the northern fringes of prehistoric Alaska. One dinosaur species that visitors can expect to see in this section is the Edmontosaurus, a duck-billed herbivore that roamed western North America at the end of the Cretaceous Period between 66 and 68 million years ago. Children are encouraged to touch the sculpted model and climb through and around its legs to compare their relative size to the prehistoric giant, according to

Gunter. Visitors can also take a photo with the Edmontosaurus and email a digital postcard to friends and family by activating a nearby kiosk. “The whole exhibit is designed to be an immersive experience that is hands-on, educational, and most importantly, fun,” she said. As visitors journey through the “Land of Ice,” they can also expect to stumble across a sculpted model of an adult Troodon guarding its nest of eggs. The model, which stands 4 feet high and 6 feet long, is situated beside a second nest featuring plush eggs that visitors can handle. Gunter said the exhibit also features a number of hands-on games and other activities, including a “food chain puzzle” and “eye spy cards,” which highlight a variety of animals and plants from the Cretaceous Period. Rounding out the exhibit is the Field Research Station, where visitors can become amateur paleontologists by digging through a pit of rubber mulch to uncover the fossils of dinosaurs, including the T. rex, Edmontosaurus, Velociraptor, Megaraptor, and Iguanodon. Children can also create narratives about dinosaurs at a series of play tables, which feature 3D landscapes, small dinosaur models, and view maps of North America that show how much the continent has changed since the beginning of the Cretaceous Period. “Those children who are already interested in dinosaurs will be able to enter a

world designed to help them engage with the dinosaurs they love, exploring the environments those dinosaurs lived in, and learning new facts about their favorite dinosaurs,” Gunter said. “For those who are not as familiar with dinosaurs, this exhibition is a great introduction to the dinosaurs who lived in North America.” While much of the exhibit focuses on nonnative dinosaurs, Gunter said the Upcountry History Museum is consulting with Adam Smith, curator of the Bob Campbell Geology Museum at Clemson University, to highlight via social media some of the prehistoric creatures that once roamed South Carolina. The museum, for instance, plans to post “fun facts” in the coming weeks about some of the state’s most important fossil discoveries, Gunter said. In addition, Smith will host a presentation at the museum on at 9 a.m. Jan. 11 about his current research on the connection between birds and dinosaurs, as well as the general field of paleontology.

3 of the best places in South Carolina to view fossils South Carolina State Museum 301 Gervais St., Columbia

Bob Campbell Geology Museum 140 Discovery Lane, Clemson

Roper Mountain Science Center 402 Roper Mountain Road, Greenville

The South Carolina State Museum has opened an exhibit of 30 fossils mostly discovered in South Carolina in each year since 1988, when the museum first opened. The exhibit, which includes a 450,000-year-old saber-toothed skull found in Dorchester County in 2003, will be on display until February 2019. The cost of general admission tickets for the museum are: adults (13-61), $8.95; seniors (62 and older), $7.95; children (3-12), $6.95; infants (2 and younger), free.

The Bob Campbell Geology Museum is known for its collection of more than 10,000 minerals and rocks, but in recent years, the museum has brought in fossils from across the United States. While some fossil displays in the museum are actually casts, there are several that were dug up by a small team from Clemson University. Fossil species at the museum include parts of a Triceratops, a cave bear skull, a cast of a saber-toothed tiger (Smilodon), and a cast of a Tyrannosaurus rex skull. Admission to the Bob Campbell Geology Museum is free.

Along with a planetarium, aquariums, farm animals, and a range of scientific activities, Roper Mountain Science Center is gearing up for a dinosaur trail outfitted with replicas of large, prehistoric creatures. The trail will have 14 to 16 lifelike dinosaur replicas, from the Triceratops to a giant Tyrannosaurus rex, with a playground in the middle. The center also has several fossils available for viewing, including a giant Megalodon mouth and the fossilized dung of a giant sloth. While there are some dinosaurs already set up on the trail, the project won’t be complete until 2020. The dinosaur trail is currently open to the public. Admission is free. Visitors to Roper Mountain Science Center are not permitted to enter school buildings.

The dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures of South Carolina Dromaeosauridae

Hadrosauridae

A family of feathered theropods that included Velociraptor. These small to medium-sized dinosaurs possessed a large “killing claw” on their toe bones that may have been used to capture prey. They lived as recently as the Cretaceous Period.

Small, duck-billed dinosaurs that lived in the Cretaceous Period about 65 million years ago. Hadrosauridae were the first recorded dinosaur fossils found in South Carolina in 1987.

Megalodon A giant species of shark that lived as recently as the Pliocene Epoch more than 2 million years ago. The largest megalodon tooth measures around 7 inches in length, which is almost three times longer than those of great white sharks.

Giant sloth

Saber-toothed cat

A group of large ground sloths that lived in North America as recently as the Holocene Epoch, or about 10,000 years ago.

Large, predatory cats with long saber teeth that lived as recently as the Pleistocene Epoch (known as the Ice Age), or about 11,700 years ago. Sources: South Carolina State Museum, Roper Mountain Science Center

Infusion of city’s budget surplus money into Greenlink won’t expand service but will update fleet CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

If you ask Greenlink director Gary Shepard what keeps him up at night, he’ll answer it’s the moment in the mornings when the buses in the aging fleet are cranked, determining whether they’ll be able to leave the Greenville Transit Authority’s maintenance facility to begin the day’s routes. An infusion of cash from the city of Greenville’s general fund surplus will help ease his concerns. But the $1.25 million won’t do anything to expand service, something Greenlink officials and the community say is necessary to support the workforce in the city and county. The local money, which still must be approved by the Greenville City Council, will be leveraged with state and federal money to buy two electric buses from Proterra, two 30-foot diesel buses, and three

Greenlink director Gary Shepard says the city funding will help update the aging fleet of buses.

new cutaway buses, which are the vanlike buses that Greenlink uses for its paratransit program. In addition, the money would overhaul 12 Greenlink buses to extend their useful lives for five more years. Each overhaul includes a new engine and transmission, new seating, flooring, paint, and video cameras.

Greenlink should have replaced nine of its buses in 2014, Shepard said. The problem with an aging bus fleet is not unique to Greenville. Shepard said there is at least $9 billion in capital needs for transit authorities across the country. “The money from the city helps us immensely to update the fleet,” he said. Doubling the size of Greenlink — increasing the frequency and number of routes — would triple the system’s annual operating cost, according to Greenlink’s Transit Development Plan. Capital costs would exceed $55 million. Affordable housing, another issue attracting attention in Greenville, would get $1.4 million of the surplus. The mon-

ey would go to the Greenville Housing Fund, the independent nonprofit fund the council established to help address the city’s shortage of more than 2,500 affordable housing units. The fund, which was launched as part of the community development financial institution Community Works, will provide equity funding for development and preservation of affordable housing for households with annual incomes of up to $55,000. An additional $1.1 million will be used for neighborhood planning, traffic-calming, road resurfacing, sidewalks, and congestion management. One million dollars would be earmarked for leverage for economic development projects such as providing matching funds if Greenlink gets a $15 million grant for a new maintenance facility, or work to link Salters Road to Mall Connector Road to relieve congestion on Woodruff Road. The final $1.25 million of the surplus would be used for repairs to City Hall.

Greenville Housing Fund considering five geographic areas of focus for land bank CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Five geographic areas could become the focus of the Greenville Housing Fund’s land-banking efforts. The city of Greenville will help jumpstart the land bank program with some of the 25 acres of land it owns around the city, said Ginny Stroud, the city’s community development administrator. The Greenville Housing Fund’s efforts likely will center on Judson and Dunean, Pleasant Valley, the Poinsett Highway and Rutherford Road corridor, Nicholtown, and the area near the city’s new Unity Park because they can build off existing revitalization efforts in those areas and can make a visible impact quickly, Stroud said. Those areas also have master plans in place and active neighborhood associations. The Greenville Housing Fund is an independent nonprofit fund established by the Greenville City Council to address the affordable housing shortage. The fund’s initial investments will be in the city, but future efforts could also include the county. “We are not restricted to city property,” said Bogue Wallin, chairman of the Greenville Housing Fund board. “We’ll take any land we can get that advances the goals of the fund.” Stroud said the city owns seven parcels totaling about an acre in Brutontown, a neighborhood located in the Poinsett and Rutherford corridor. It also owns eight parcels totaling 2 acres in Nicholtown, which is completely within the city limits. In the Unity Park area, the city owns several parcels on West Washington Street. Stroud said the city has several options and plans to bring in the Greenville

Housing Fund to help determine the best use of the properties. The city is developing criteria for conveyance of property to the housing fund, and the transfer of property would have to be approved by the Greenville City Council. In addition to contributing land to the land bank, the City Council is expected to earmark $1.4 million of its $6 million general fund surplus to the Greenville Housing Fund to loan projects that would provide new or preserve affordable housing units. A GHF loan will help St. Louis-based Bywater Development Group rehabilitate Stratham Place Apartments, a project that has been four years in the making. Before Bywater bought the property in 2015, there was concern that Greenville would lose some of its already scarce affordable housing. The apartment complex, which was built in the 1950s, is on Shaw Street just north of Pete Hollis Boulevard and a block west of Poinsett Highway. It is less than 1 mile from the North Main Street and Stone Avenue area. “It was really critical to our project. There was a hole in financing, and the launch of the Greenville Housing Fund was very fortuitous,” said David Dodson, Bywater’s CEO, who said the company hopes to begin construction on the $12 million project in November. Construction should take 14 months. The project includes new roofs, reconfigured floor plans, new facades, internal parking, and a playground. Some of the units will be converted to fully accessible units for mobility-impaired residents. “It had sound structural bones, but it needed to be re-envisioned to make it more of an anchor point of this part of the city,” Dodson said. “We believe it will be catalytic in the community.”

Integrity Above All Kevin Boudle

General Manager/Funeral Director Mackey Funerals & Cremations at Woodlawn Memorial Park

evin Boudle has a motto that he uses every day in his role as General Manager and Funeral Director at Mackey Funerals and Cremations at Woodlawn Memorial Park: “If you do the right thing ALL the time, all the right things will happen.” Kevin, a licensed funeral director since 1991, brings that integrity and work ethic to families who are seeking to memorialize a loved one. While he has seen many changes in funeral service in his 27-year career, the common thread is that families want to create a service as unique and special as the person they are memorializing. Whether they choose burial or cremation, he goes out of his way to make sure their expectations are exceeded. When he isn’t working, Kevin spends time with his wife and two children and relishes a chance to get outdoors, especially fishing.

Red panda cubs make public debut at Greenville Zoo ANDREW MOORE | STAFF

amoore@communityjournals.com

After months of waiting, the public can now watch the Greenville Zoo’s latest set of red panda cubs traverse the treetops and feast on bamboo. The three cubs — Anne, Marie, and Frank — made their official debut during the zoo’s celebration of International Red Panda Day on Saturday, Sept. 15, according to curator Keith Gilchrist. Born in June, the cubs spent three months nursing and bonding with their mother behind the scenes, Gilchrist said. They are the first offspring for Collette, a 6-year-old female, and Zheng, an 8-year-old male. “Their metabolisms are very slow as 98 percent of their diet is bamboo leaves,” Gilchrist added. “Growing to a stage where they are coordinated and confident enough to explore and climb takes a long time.” Zoo visitors can see the cubs in the Asian Forest exhibit starting at 10 a.m. daily, according to Gilchrist. Their appearance, however, is “far from guaranteed," he said, as captive red pandas have a low tolerance for heat, and the cubs are provided with around-the-clock access to air-conditioned dens when the temperature is above 80 degrees. “We are allowing them to come and go at their own speed,” Gilchrist said. “So, essentially, it’s a bit random when they’ll be out, although the frequency of their explorations will increase over the next few days [or] weeks.” Gilchrist said the cubs, one male and two females,

to nurse with their mother, according to Gilchrist. “They are still at a fairly early stage of their development,” Gilchrist said. “Collette has been an excellent mother — letting them explore on their own but coming to the rescue Did you know?

able at other accredited institutions. Red pandas are native to Asia and are commonly found in Nepal, India, Bhutan, Myanmar, and China, according to the zoo. The animals, which have a lifespan of 12 to 14 years, are known for their red and offwhite markings, large puffy tails, and pointed ears. Like giant pandas, they require specialized diets and eat large amounts of bamboo each day. Today, the red panda faces numerous conservation threats, including hunting, poaching, deforestation, and habitat fragmentation. It is currently listed as a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT GREENVILLEZOO.COM.

Castile: Greenville County can learn affordable housing lessons from other growing areas CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Decades ago, Austin, Texas, and Nashville, Tennessee, were in the same position Greenville is now — experiencing explosive growth. New Greenville County Redevelopment Authority Executive Director John Castile said Greenville County can learn from those cities when it comes to addressing a problem that often accompanies rapid growth — affordable housing. “We can learn a lot from other communities that have gone through this, the do’s and the don’ts,” he said. “Places like Spartanburg are doing innovative things. We can take those ideas and see how they might be adapted here. Each community has a palate for certain types of projects.” The GCRA administers the money the county receives from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and other sources for affordable housing. “As Greenville County continues to experience unprecedented growth, increasing housing opportunities for all income levels is essential to building an inclusive diverse community,” said Castile, who is the seventh executive director in GCRA’s 45-year history. Castile was Greenville city manager up until Aug. 31, a position he held for eight years. He had worked for the city in some capacity for 23 years. A study completed earlier this year found the county has a shortage of 9,432 housing units that are affordable to households earning less than $25,000 per year, a group that makes up more than 23 percent of those who reside in Greenville County, but outside the boundaries of the city of Greenville. The study by Alexandria, Virginia-based urban planning and neighborhood development consulting firm CZB LLC found there are 60,000 households in Greenville County whose maximum affordable rent is less than what for-profit developers need to break even. The study found that if the county’s trajectory of economic growth continues, it would be only a matter of time before teachers and first responders found themselves priced out of good housing options. “When a community has been discovered, it’s a natural thing to ask what kind

of community do you want to be and for whom,” he said. “We all agree having a diverse community is a strength.” County Council Chairman Butch Kirven, who touted Castile’s proven leadership, called the hiring a “game-changer.” “Affordable housing is not just beneficial to certain people in the community,” he said. “It benefits everyone and our community.” Castile said GCRA will continue to concentrate on constructing, rehabilitating, and partnering with nonprofit and forprofit organizations to provide affordable housing units. Over the past 45 years, it has worked to stabilize and revitalize about 30 communities in the county, including former textile mill neighborhoods. It has provided about 5,000 affordable housing units. Castile said he sees opportunities where the GCRA can work with the Greenville Housing Fund, an independent nonprofit fund established by the Greenville City Council to address the affordable housing shortage. He said there are several neighborhoods that are partially in the city and the county, and that the GCRA and Greenville Housing Fund could work on projects in which there’s mutual interest in those areas. “Are there other things we can do to further increase opportunities for affordable housing?” he said. “I think there are.”

A DAY IN COURT

Judge Letitia Verdin

Lakeview Middle students learn about inner workings of criminal justice system ARIEL GILREATH | STAFF

agilreath@communityjournals.com

Monday mornings on the third floor of the Greenville County Courthouse are hectic — throngs of defendants and potential jurors can be found crowded outside the courtrooms that line the hallway. The atmosphere of the hallway-dwellers varies depending on the docket, and for roughly one Monday out of the month, they’re joined by curious middle-schoolers, soaking in the judicial system. A Day in Court is a program Circuit Judge Letitia Verdin picked up as part of a project for the Liberty Fellowship — a “leadership incubator” run by the Aspen Institute that selects 20 people from a pool of candidates in South Carolina each year to become a fellow. Liberty Fellows spend 18 months attending seminars, collaborating, and implementing projects to effect change in their communities. In 2017, the theme for the projects was for fellows to pick up a project that was abandoned by a past fellow, and Verdin chose a program called A Day in Court,

I thought they weren’t going to be as hard on them.” Eighth-grader Shantasia Hughes is interested in the judicial system, and she knows all about her Miranda rights.

She wants to become an activist when she’s older — her heroes are Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. “I want to be somebody who can help or inspire at least the little kids to grow up to be somebody who can change the world,” Shantasia said. “There’s two sides to every argument.”

Greenville County Schools sees $6.7 million drop in Title I funds ARIEL GILREATH | STAFF

agilreath@communityjournals.com

OPEN HOUSE October 4 at 9:30 am & 6:00 pm

Register at www.cces.org or 864.331.4223 CHRIST CHURCH EPISCOPAL SCHOOL CCES is a college preparatory school serving students in K5-12th grade in Greenville, SC. Christ Church Episcopal School admits students of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin.

Greenville County Schools is getting less money for students in poverty, but depending on what scale you look at, it isn’t because there are fewer impoverished students in the county. In 2016-17, the district received $22.7 million in Title I funding. This year, the district is projected to get about $18.5 million. The $4.2 million drop has resulted in an even greater drop in overall Title I funds for Greenville County Schools because of fewer carryover funds. Title I is a section of the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act that sets additional funding aside for schools with a high number of students from low-income families. In years past, South Carolina schools primarily determined the number of their students from low-income households based on who qualified for free and reduced lunch — a simple process determined by household income and the number of children in a home. In recent years, South Carolina has pushed for districts to adopt the federal Department of Agriculture’s Community Eligibility Provision, which is what most schools nationwide use to determine low-income households. The CEP’s definition of poverty differs from the free-and-reduced-lunch formula — a list of qualifications includes the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Medicaid, and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families eligibility. Greenville County Schools adopted the CEP in 2016. When Greenville County Schools was getting $22.7 million in Title I funds in 2016, it was also carrying over about $3.6 million from the previous year, meaning the district had a total of $26.4 million in its Title I budget. From 2016 to 2017, the district’s Title I funds dropped by about $3.5 million and it had $1.3 million in carryover funds, or a total of $21.6 million in its budget. Now, the total projected Title I budget for the district is $19.7 million — a $6.7 million drop from just two years ago. But Charlotte McDavid, executive director of academic innovation and tech-

nology with the district, said the term “carryover” is somewhat of a misnomer — since the fiscal year ends on June 30, any leftover funds are considered to be carryovers, although staff still get paid during the summer. “If we just plain stopped, we wouldn’t be able to pay for the salaries over the summer,” McDavid said. “We also have summer programs that operate, we have other things going on. So part of that carryover, I won’t say it’s intentional, but it’s planning that needs to be in place.” Since Greenville County doesn’t receive funding for preschool programs, Title I funding pays for all preschool programs in Title I schools. It also pays for supplies that students aren’t able to afford. With decreased funds, the district has had to make some sacrifices. From 2016 to 2017, McDavid said the district had already hired its personnel when it found out there would be $3.5 million less in Title I funding. “Contracts had been signed and written, so we had to go in and look at ways of cutting $3.5 million,” McDavid said. “There was a vacancy and we simply did not replace that person. There were funds set aside for summer school for all the Title I schools — we cut that. We had supplies, materials and programs in each school, and we could not absorb $3.5 million at the district level, and so schools had to absorb some of that.” McDavid said some reasons for the funding decreases are the changes in the poverty formula and the transfer of one of the district’s Title I schools to the South Carolina Public Charter School District. Legacy Charter School, which had about 1,200 students, transferred out of the district to the SCPCSD in 2017. From 2017 to 2018, the number of eligible students in the county went from 17,260 to 15,048. Excluding the 1,200 Legacy students, the county had a decrease of about 1,000 eligible students. This year, only 12,159 students in the county have been identified as eligible for CEP, while the overall student population continues to grow. As of 2016, the United States Census Bureau estimates 15.4 percent of

GHS unveils new name, logo under merger with Palmetto Health ARIEL GILREATH | STAFF

agilreath@communityjournals.com

For the first time in its more than 100year history, the Greenville Health System won’t have Greenville in its name. Starting next year, GHS and Midlandsbased Palmetto Health will officially retire their names and start going by Prisma Health, which is the largest hospital system in South Carolina and top 50 in the United States. GHS and Palmetto Health leaders made the announcement Tuesday morning at campuses in Greenville and Columbia. The two hospital systems, which have 14 hospitals and more than 1 million patients, announced the merger last year and made it official in November 2017. The systems estimated between $80 million and $100 million in savings from refinancing debt with the merger. At the time, the two systems kept their names but operated under an interim parent company, SC Health Company. Todd Miller, senior vice president of marketing and communications with Prisma Health, said the new name “is an acknowledgement that we need to be singular, and we need to be unified, and we want to express that through using a brand that can be the same in whatever location that we’re in.” Prisma Health was selected from among 1,000 names, Miller said. South Carolina resident to be living «in poverty and 11 percent of Greenville

County residents. McDavid believes several factors could be contributing to the decline in Title I funds — the economy is doing better than it was five years ago, but that doesn’t account for all of the decrease. “It’s not considered that we have significantly less poverty,” McDavid said. The CEP funding formula requires families to receive government assistance while the free and reduced lunch model does not, and McDavid said families have to take steps to maintain that assistance. “It takes a bit longer to sign up and re-

“We brought in team members, leaders, physicians, (and) community members to help us in evaluating name options to ultimately determine what name felt right, looked right, sounded right, and most importantly, what name could we own?” Miller said. Miller said the organization hopes to give its own meaning to the unofficial word “Prisma,” stemming from “prism.” “Prisms are colorful, and they’re bright, and they’re light, and they’re multifaceted. That word has such positive connotations to the people we shared it with, and they saw possibilities because it can represent the diversity of our people, the diversity of the people we serve, the multifaceted nature of our business,” Miller said. “It just felt like it had a lot of possibility, and so that was how we chose the word, then we designed a logo to go with it.” GHS President Spence Taylor said it will take some time to rebrand everything, and the agency doesn’t have an official budget yet on how much that will cost. “The capital dollars we pay for signage each year is not insignificant,” Taylor said. “I don’t care if it’s the GHS old logo or the new Prisma logo, you’re just adding something. I think it’s real important that we do it responsibly.” The names and brands of individual hospitals under Prisma Health won’t change. ceive the Medicaid and SNAP, and there is also different criteria for maintaining that funding where they renew that eligibility, and it takes a lot,” McDavid said. This year, the district cut a few positions and reorganized staff to make up the funding decrease. McDavid said they’re still trying to provide as much help as they can to the county’s neediest schools, even with less funds. “We are still trying to provide the quality educational programs; however, when there are significant cuts, we have to do so with fewer personnel and fewer supplies,” McDavid said.

Greenville City Council interviews six city-manager candidates CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Smile for Your Health! Smiling can help to change your mood from gloomy to sunny. The act of smiling creates positive endorphins in your brain that actually improve your mood. Smiling is also thought to be contagious; approximately 50% of people will smile back. When you smile you spread the health benefits to those around you and it comes back to you as well. Most people find someone more attractive when they are smiling! The effects of a good smile extend past just the exterior good looks. Stress relief is another great benefit of smiling, simple as smiling a little more throughout the day

Greenville City Council members will bring in six city-manager candidates for interviews in early October. The city received approximately 70 applications for the position, the holder of which serves as Greenville’s chief executive officer and is responsible for managing the city as a whole, implementing policies approved by City Council, hiring employees, and presenting an annual budget. Councilwoman Amy Ryberg Doyle said the job opening drew applicants from across the country with a tremendous amount of experience. Mayor Knox White said after the first round of interviews, council will likely reveal the finalists. Under the state’s Freedom of Information Act, application materials of the top three finalists must be made public. A job description on executive search

firm Springsted|Waters’ website described the city’s future manager as a creative, policy-driven visionary who will be able to anticipate issues and act strategically to meet current and future city needs. The job description said Greenville is a growing community that is experiencing some of the challenges of a much-larger urban city. “The ideal candidate is a leader who has the tenacity to work through complex, long-term and often difficult issues and projects and the courage to make tough decisions when necessary,” according to the job description. “The successful candidate must understand how to balance the expectations of an engaged citizenry in an emerging worldclass destination city.” Nancy Whitworth, who, as the head of the city’s economic development department and deputy city manager has played an integral role in Greenville’s resurgence, is serving as interim city manager.

By Bob Morris Philanthropy, charity, giving voluntarily and freely … call it what you like, but it is truly a jewel of an American tradition.” — John F. Kennedy Jr. Evidence of the philanthropic gene that President Kennedy referred to abounds in the Upstate. Every day in Greenville, there are families who have never met — and yet will profoundly impact each other. One has an adult child with a persistent mental illness who lives an independent and productive life as a member of Gateway. The other is a contributor to Gateway’s capital campaign who will double the number of members that will be served by this internationally replicated model. One family relishes the performing arts at the Peace Center, The Warehouse Theatre, and South Carolina Children’s Theatre, and has provided the funds to extend the opportunity to participate in these programs in spite of a limited family budget. By doing so, each parent has created a pathway to artistic excellence and inspiration that is wide and inclusive. One is a college freshman pursuing a degree in journalism at the University of South Carolina and the other is honoring his or her mother, who taught English in her early career at Wade Hampton High School. As a recipient of the Alice Watkins Scholarship, a young woman may follow the example of Mark and Donna Johnston, entrepreneurs who founded Community Journals in 1999. For seven years the Community Foundation of Greenville, TOWN Magazine, and Elliott Davis have recognized individuals, businesses, and nonprofit organizations with Charitable Giving Awards at a reception and in the November issue of TOWN. It is gratifying to acknowledge outstanding people just before Thanksgiving. Community Journals recently presented us with an opportunity to extend our coverage of philanthropy all year long across many media formats through a new microsite called Giving Matters. The professional expertise of the team at Community Journals in digital strategies with GVL Today, Upstate Business Journal, TOWN Magazine, and Greenville Journal will enable the Community Foundation of Greenville to connect with a larger audience about the impact of the nonprofit sector in Greenville. In turn, we expect more people will contribute to organizations that improve the quality of life here. I hope you will enjoy learning about the efforts we feature

and join with us to increase their impact on our community. At the time they began the Greenville Journal, a Harvard professor published the book “Bowling Alone,” in which he described a cultural movement away from healthy civic associations and toward isolation. These include a disengagement from civil discourse and withering connections between families on the same streets and in the same ZIP codes. Personal connections more than ever are critical to blast though the noise of sensationalism to articulate the successes of local humanitarian enterprises. Your personal effort to connect, when added to the efforts of others, creates a movement of service. Collective efforts such as Greenville Women Giving, Greenville Partnership for Philanthropy, and the United Way of Greenville County have an impact above and beyond our individual time and resources. The results of collective giving help serve as a beacon to our young students as well as attract newcomers who bring their own traditions of service and giving. Sharing stories about initiatives like OnTrack Greenville — which brings enhanced academic services and summer-learning opportunities to high-priority middle schools — shares the positive outcomes of such investments. Similarly, sharing stories about Project Hope Academy and its unique academic curriculum elevates successful strategies for students with autism and their families. By sharing these informative and inspirational stories, we hope to strengthen the ligaments that connect all of us.

LOOKING AHEAD Public-private partnership addresses

Greenville’s need for affordable housing By Rebecca Howerton

Cities all over the country have faced the challenge of balancing growth with the need for affordable homes for all of the people who contribute to that growth. The city of Greenville has taken steps to face the issue head on, first by creating a volunteer steering committee and commissioning a year-long study of the topic. The committee worked with urban planning consultant firm CZB to create an ongoing solution to address the need for affordable housing at all income levels, defined as costing 30 percent or less of gross income. Of particular concern is the city’s shortage of more than 2,500 units with monthly rents lower than $500–$625, affordable for people earning $20,000–$25,000 annually (working full-time at $10–12.50 per hour). The work group recommended the creation of a housing trust fund to support the construction and preservation of affordable housing units, focused on projects serving households with incomes between $15,000 and $55,000. The city earmarked $2 million to establish the Greenville Housing Fund along with a proposed $1 million in private money. With contributions from local grant makers such as Hollingsworth Funds, the Graham Foundation, the Community Foundation of Greenville, and Westminster Presbyterian Church, the private portion of the initial capitalization is nearly complete, said Bob Morris, president of the Community Foundation. “The Community Foundation has supported nonprofits that build affordable housing in the past, so investing $100,000 in this public-private partnership was a natural fit for us,” Morris said. “The city’s commitment is the beginning of a very exciting period for our community. We’re trying to show leadership and partnership to help meet this goal and move the issue forward.” The Graham Foundation’s $200,000 contribution was given to leverage its previous housing grants, said Eleanor Dunlap, chief impact officer. “The housing fund will support projects that address housing needs for individuals and families who increasingly find it difficult to find affordable homes, from hourly workers, restaurant and hotel employees, to teachers and firefighters,” Dunlap said. Tammie Hoy Hawkins, project manager for GHF, said

Bywater Development will rehabilitate Stratham Place, located off Poinsett Highway, preserving 88 affordable rental homes.

the agency will evaluate diverse programs to fill the need, including repairing existing homes or building new homes and rentals, proposed by nonprofits and for-profit developers. “We can offer technical assistance, help identify projects that are ready to go, and provide the last funding to make the project happen,” Hawkins said. “We hope to revolve these funds as much as possible.” On Sept. 18, 2018, GHF announced awards of $863,000 to Habitat for Humanity, Homes of Hope and Bywater Development, intended to build and restore more than 100 homes within the city of Greenville. With this financing, Homes of Hope plans to develop nine rental homes, and Habitat for Humanity will build six homes. Bywater Development will rehabilitate Stratham Place, located off Poinsett Highway, preserving

88 affordable rental homes. “The vision of the Greenville Housing Fund is to enable thriving diverse neighborhoods throughout Greenville,” said Bogue Wallin, chair of GHF. “This would not be possible without the support we have received from the city.” While providing loans and grants is an important function of the housing fund, another goal is to serve as an advocate and champion for affordable housing in Greenville. “We want to be a leading voice for balancing growth with affordable housing and looking at innovative strategies and making policy recommendations to do that,” Hawkins said. “As federal funds continue to decline, we have to look to local to address the challenges within Greenville. We hope these donations will catalyze other entities to also invest in this issue.”

Greenville Health System and Palmetto Health are becoming

Why Prisma Health? Since we launched our new health organization last November, we have made great progress by building on the strength and legacies of Greenville Health System and Palmetto Health. Together, we are looking at health in a completely new way. In early 2019, we will unite under one name, one logo and one way of delivering health care. Because the name Prisma Health is unique, we can make it our own. Our bold, fresh visual identity includes sharp angles and bright, vibrant colors that distinguish us from traditional health care providers in our region. The design of the letters is intentional and engaging, evoking the facets of a prism. The name and logo reflect the multifaceted, dynamic organization we are today, and light the way for all we are becoming.

What stays the same? We will continue to honor the sacred relationships our patients and their families have with their physicians and advanced practice providers. Your doctor won’t change. Your hospital won’t change. Only our company names and logos will change to reflect our new unified organization. While our hospital names will change to include the Prisma Health brand, each hospital you have come to know and love will keep its familiar legacy name: Greenville Memorial, Greer Memorial, Hillcrest, Patewood, North Greenville, Children's, and Roger C. Peace. Your physician practice name will stay the same, too. We continue to be dedicated to transforming health care through education and clinical research. Collaborating with our academic partners, we are teaching the next generation of physicians, nurses, dentists and other medical professionals, and investing in research to improve the lives of those we serve. And we continue our commitment to keep health care local. By coming together as one, we’re shaping our own future so we may continue to improve the health of all South Carolinians.

What’s our promise? Inspire health. Serve with compassion. Be the difference. Our 30,000 team members are dedicated to supporting the health and well-being of you and your family. To learn more about how we will serve you, visit PrismaHealth.org.

January 18, 1933 ~ September 16, 2018 Pete Anestis Kalatges, 85, of Greenville, passed away peacefully while visiting his birthplace, Agia Paraskevi, Lesvos, Greece, on Sunday, September 16, 2018. Pete was the eldest son of the late Anestis and Eleni Kalatges. He came to the United States in the early 1960s and started the franchise restaurant “Petee’s” throughout the upstate. In 2001, Pete, along with his son, opened A&P Restaurant in Greer where he retired but still managed to show up every day to “charm” the public. A business man of 50 years, he met so many people throughout his lifetime that turned into lasting friendships. He greeted everyone with his infectious smile and strong disposition. You never had to guess where you stood with him, as he spoke freely and openly to everyone. He believed in the importance of sacrifice, hard work, and dedication and instilled this in his children. Pete cherished his grandchildren. He was an avid hunter and loved the outdoors. Pete and his wife enjoyed spending their summers in Greece with family and friends. Although he was honored and proud to be an American, his hometown was always held special in his heart. We are thankful that God allowed him to visit his most beloved village one last time. The family would like to extend a special thank you to everyone for their love, prayers, and support during this time.

In addition to his wife of 48 years, Dora, Pete is survived by three daughters, Stasia Bakaes, husband Gus, Mina Troubetaris, husband George, and Leia Kapetanakis, husband Pete; a son, Anestis Kalatges, wife Laura; twelve grandchildren, Yianni and Naya, Eleni and Iliana, Stefano, Evan, Brie and Deni, Theodora, Panayiotis, Christos and Margaret; a brother, Christos Kalatges, wife Froso of Agia Paraskevi, Lesvos, Greece; a sister, Maria Jones of Pennsylvania; mother-in-law, Aglaia Bikas; and many nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Kathy Vrahnos, husband Bobby; two brothers-in-law, John Jones and George Bikas; and his fatherin-law, Dennis George Bikas.

Brandi Ward designed this greenhouse fit for a fairy using windows and doors salvaged from Habitat for Humanity. The roof is corrugated acrylic, and the floor is fashioned from reclaimed brick. Jon Ward built hanging shelves using I-joists left over from construction of the main house, creating the perfect sunny perch for seedlings awaiting their turn to take root in the garden beyond.

FARM FRESH words by Allison Walsh | photography by Chelsey Ashford Farmhouse style is having a moment. But for Brandi Ward, who together with her husband, Jon, transforms spaces through their design and lifestyle brand Chestnut Living, the word “farmhouse” transcends shiplap walls and tobacco baskets over the mantel. “I feel like our generation has seen ‘before technology’ and ‘after technology’ and we’re starting to see the repercussions of technology, so we’re craving something — more of a simple life — and to me that lends towards farmhouse,” Brandi Ward says. “It’s just a feeling of home and comfort.” And while the Ward family does live on a farm of sorts — complete with peach trees and hens laying eggs in an adorable coop — she says this aesthetic is achievable in any home, no chickens required. She says the best way to create this sense of stylish calm in a home is to start with a fresh, neutral palette. “For me, farmhouse is wood tones and neutral [colors] and then adding in fresh greenery, creating a fresh feeling,” she says, “because when you’re on a farm, it’s mainly green, white, and wood.” When it comes to accessorizing a room, Ward suggests shopping within the family first for pieces that tell the family’s story. Find something as simple as a framed photograph or a beloved relative’s recipe book and then build on those artifacts with items that give a similar feeling, whether they be foraged treasures or reproductions, she says.

Farmhouse aesthetic is achievable in any home, no chickens required

Among her favorite pieces are a pie safe that once provided a safe haven for cooling pies baked by the grandmother of a dear friend. “Keep the things that you absolutely love, that when you look at them they give you joy and remind you of happy times,” Ward says. “Anything from your family history; incorporate something that’s authentic to you in that room.” She is also a proponent of repurposing, whether that means giving new life to an old piece or using new materials in unexpected ways. Ward’s husband had for some time been building baskets out of tobacco sticks — traditionally used by tobacco farmers to hang leaves in barns to dry after picking — when a new idea struck. “He made one that was big that had two big rope handles, and it was beautiful,” she says. “He held it upside down and said, ‘What if I made a light out of it?’” In short order the fixture was making a

statement over the family’s kitchen island. In similar rustic fashion, hog-panel railing — originally used to keep pigs in their place — looks downright elegant as a stair railing, and the four-by-four squares just happen to perfectly comply with code. Ward has a particular fondness for old windows and uses them as dramatic wall hangings throughout her home, but she stepped up her game in the greenhouse, where walls aren’t walls at all. “I went to Habitat for Humanity and bought a ton of windows and doors and laid it out how I wanted it on the driveway, and then Jon built it for me,” she says. “He built the frame and then he screwed all the windows and doors together.” The Wards have since embarked on a new design adventure, with Brandi Ward busy putting her distinctive stamp on a fifth-wheel trailer the family of four will call home while their future forever home is under construction.

TIPS FOR CREATING A FARM-FRESH FEEL IN ANY SPACE Brandi Ward offers these tips to help create a farmlike feel in any home. •A fresh, neutral palette is the way to go. Think whites and wood tones with touches of fresh greenery here and there. • Take things one room at a time, and start with a clean slate. • Build a look using pieces that tell your story, whether they be treasured family heirlooms or simple knickknacks that fit the narrative. • Above all else, strive for surrounding yourself and your family with objects that bring joy and memories of happy times.

Real Estate News

Cate Thompson Joins Joan Herlong & Associates Sotheby’s International Realty Joan Herlong & Associates Sotheby’s International Realty is pleased to announce the addition of Realtor Cate Thompson to the company. Owner and CEO Joan Herlong said, “Cate has proven herself with years of experience as Thompson a top producer in Greenville. What struck me immediately was her “Clients First”

business philosophy. Fiduciary duty can’t really be taught – it must be inherently felt – and Cate GETS IT in a way many other Realtors just don’t. She’s a perfect fit, and we are so happy to have her.” Cate is a Greenville native; her father built and sold custom luxury homes in the area when she was growing up here. She graduated from Clemson University and began her career as a teacher in 2001. Eventually, she decided to get back to her roots and became licensed to sell real estate in 2009; she decided to go full time in 2012 leaving teaching behind. She’s worked for a small Lake Keowee brokerage selling

luxury lake properties, and two larger brokerages in town. She quickly became a Top Producer, says Thompson, “I have had many interactions with Joan Herlong and her associates throughout my career and was always impressed by their professionalism and tact. The obvious next step for me was joining a firm that serves luxury real estate clientele better than any other. I cannot begin to express how thrilled I am to be blessed with this huge opportunity.”

Illustrator Brittany Kelly often draws inspiration from favorite fantasy, fiction, fairy tales

Through her love of reading, Greenville native and Brandon Fellowship recipient Brittany Kelly discovered her own talent for illustration. Illustration by Brittany Kelly. Photo by Will Crooks / Greenville Journal SARA PEARCE | STAFF

spearce@communityjournals.com

Brittany Kelly has been a lover of books for as long as she can remember. As an avid reader since a young age, books also brought her to another passion: illustration. Kelly, originally from Greenville, is one of three recipients of the 2018-19 Brandon Fellowship, a program designed to develop local emerging artists between the ages of 21 and 30 and provide them with mentorship and community within the Greenville arts scene. Kelly says she first realized how much she loved drawing in middle school when she and her friends found the world of comics and anime, and would create their own characters and stories — and, of

course, illustrations — to bring their creations to life. She attended the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities, where she chose to pursue her interest in art instead of dance, something that she had been doing for years. Her love for illustration is closely tied to her love of reading and books, and the two have been hand in hand her entire life. While she often finds inspiration from her most recent reads, Kelly says that she is inspired by everything. “I’m inspired by anything and everything,” Kelly says. “I am most inspired by reading; I have tons and tons of books: fantasy, fiction, and I really really love fairy tales.” Her favorite book is Robin McKinley’s “Beauty,” a different take on “Beauty and the Beast.” Kelly laughs that she has read

it at least 20 times. “I have an entire shelf of favorite books,” she says. “My art is heavily inspired by cartoons and comic books. It’s a cartoony kind of style that tries to keep elements of realism in there. I draw a lot of people, a lot of fashion, and a lot of bright colors. I focus on mostly people of color and I draw lots of characters.” While much of her work is done digitally, her sketching is the most important aspect of her creations. Her pieces can have up to 10 layers, which, she explains, is just part of the process. Her work can take anywhere between two and six hours — or more. The project she is most proud of is a 40page children’s book with original illustrations based on the fairy tale “Cinderella” she created for a class while studying visual communications at Winthrop University

“I’m really proud of the book,” Kelly says. “I knew that since I was a collector of books I probably wanted to do something with books, so when I actually sat down to make one, I was like, ‘Wow, I can actually do this.’” Kelly, who hopes to eventually create a sequel to her first book, says she is looking forward to the Brandon Fellowship so that she can work on projects she hasn’t had the time or resources to do during her college years. “I want to do a lot of personal projects that I maybe thought of while I was in school, but definitely didn’t have time to do,” she says. “I want to do things like a coloring book, some more acrylic painting, and maybe put out another book.” As for the future, Kelly says, “I just plan to draw and draw and draw for as long as I can every day.”

SC artist recognized by Gibbes Museum for question-raising batik paintings

SEP T. 28 - OCT. 4 Carolina Music Museum From the Kingdom of Buganda to Greenville! Sep. 28 ~ 520-8807

MELODY WRIGHT | STAFF

“The purpose of art is to lay bare the questions that have been hidden by the answers,” late author and playwright James Baldwin said. Contemporary South Carolina painter Leo Twiggs quotes Baldwin, saying they share that philosophy. “I think art is about the relationships of images and ideas,” Twiggs says. Recently awarded the Society 1858 Prize for Contemporary Southern Art by The Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston, Twiggs became the first South Carolinian to win the prestigious award since its creation 10 years ago. More than 250 artists from all over the South compete each year for the $10,000 prize recognizing excellence in contributions to Southern art. The winner is selected by a five-person jury of art professionals from national museums. Twiggs is most known for his “Requiem for Mother Emanuel” series commemorating the nine victims of the 2015 shooting in the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church of Charleston. “I do paintings about ideas,” he says. As a person and as an artist, Twiggs explores the connection of past and present, putting his ideas and emotions on display for all to see. Being from the small town of St. Stephen and currently living in Orangeburg, Twiggs says the award is especially gratifying. “This award is due in main because of my connection with the Upstate,” he says. The Mother Emanuel series first gained popularity in Spartanburg, and then it went from the Upstate to the Mint Museum in Charlotte, North Carolina. “While the Mother Emanuel series was born in Charleston, it took the Upstate to make it a national and international event,” Twiggs says of the series he believes contributed to his winning the award. Using an ancient textile-dyeing method called batik to create his own painting process, Twiggs sketches on fabric, applies wax, dips the fabric in dye, repeats the process several times, and removes the wax. The result is a layered piece of art that subtly conveys ideas, meanings, and emotions. Transforming batik into a painting process took much time and patience, making Twiggs’ art unique. “Over the years I continued to simply

experiment with this technique,” he says. Critics in the past have questioned the classification of Twiggs’ work as traditional art due to the never-before-seen wax-and-dye painting. But Twiggs didn’t let that stop his innovative art process. “You have to follow your dream and stick with what you feel you have to do,” he says. “As an artist, you have to select your voice. … For me, batik is that voice.” The very muted colors that batik yields make it more attractive to Twiggs, who doesn’t like to shout at viewers through bold colors. “I think lightness invites people to look very carefully at the work and ask more questions,” he says. Twiggs explains his batik-painting voice with one word: whispers. “I think some very profound statements can be made in whispers,” he says, citing Yoda from “Star Wars” and Don Vito Corleone of “The Godfather” as examples of

Hank, Pattie & The Current brings bluegrass with a twist to Albino Skunk Music Festival VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER

vharris@communityjournals.com

When Hank, Pattie & The Current step onstage at the Albino Skunk Music Festival in Greer next Friday afternoon, there will doubtless be people in the crowd expecting a straight-ahead bluegrass band. After all, the Asheville, North Carolina, band’s instrumentation consists of a banjo, a fiddle, a mandolin, an acoustic guitar, and a standup bass. But the reality of what they do is a lot different — and more intricate — than the perception might be. This group can handle a solo-trading bluegrass hoedown, sure, but what they really excel at is a blend of styles worked into an acoustic music format. One of the best representations of their sound is a video clip of Hank, Pattie & The Current playing a song called “County Line” in 2016. Opening with a delicate, skeletal duet between Hank Smith’s banjo and Pattie Hopkins Kinlaw’s violin, the song takes flight when Kinlaw begins to sing in a bright, lilting voice and the band falls in behind her, creating a bouncing, mandolin-spiked rhythm and stacking

dizzying vocal harmonies around Kinlaw’s lead. It’s not quite bluegrass, not quite jazz, and not quite folk; rather, it’s all three at the same time. Every song on their self-titled album

seems to unfold like that. The instrumentation is confident but never showy, and the vocals are layered like a 1960s pop group. The band, which formed around the nucleus of Smith and Kinlaw in 2015, moves through intimate balladry (“Better Life”), country-tinged uptempo numbers (“Heard the Sound”) and complex, tempo-shifting instrumentals (“Starman”) completely unbound by any genre expectations, which is an outgrowth of how the duo formed the group in the first place. “Pattie and I have actually been playing together for the better part of a decade,” Smith says. “We started out as side-personnel in a band called Kickin’ Grass, and we also had a rock ’n’ roll band that overlapped it, and both of those bands stopped playing at around the same time. We were sort of left thinking, ‘Well, what do we want to do?’ And it was a unique opportunity to form a band from the ground up that was what we wanted to do musically. We were able to take the time to figure out how we wanted to do it, what the personnel was going to be, and how we wanted to move forward.” Their first step was to essentially recruit another duo to join them. “We discovered these two guys, Ben Parker [guitar] and Robert Thornhill [mandolin] playing as the Reckless Brothers, and they knocked us out,” Smith says. “I thought it would be great if we brought them into it.” After that, the quartet was joined by bassist Scott Warren (recently replaced by Billie Feather), and a group of musical alchemists was born.

“Our music continues to evolve and push past the boundaries of bluegrass,” Smith says. “We can drive a straight-up bluegrass song if we need to; we just have all of these musical thoughts that steer us in other directions. Pattie is coming into bluegrass from the classical world, because she’s a trained violinist who still plays with a symphony sometimes. And I started out in bluegrass and came into classical music in the middle of my journey, and we met in the middle with our mutual love of jazz, rock ’n’ roll, and whatever we wanted to do.” And there are few events better equipped to handle an eclectic acoustic group like this one than the Albino Skunk Music Festival, which has spent a couple of decades hosting boundary-breakers such as The Avett Brothers, the Steep Canyon Rangers, Peter Rowan, and more. Smith says the band is thrilled to be making its Skunkfest debut this year. “The festival has been on our radar for years,” he says. “I’ve had a lot of friends play it and they’ve all talked about how much they love it, and it sounded like something we should do. I’m glad that we’re finally getting to come down and do it.”

‘The Play That Goes Wrong’ is a play that goes wrong on purpose CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Peyton Crim has been in plays where something has gone wrong, but nothing like “The Play That Goes Wrong.” Props are misplaced. Lines are forgotten. Cues are missed. Entrances are flubbed. There’s even a corpse who can’t play dead. But it’s all on purpose. “Having things go wrong in a controlled environment is much preferable,” said Crim, who recalled his performances where things haven’t gone exactly right before, including a tech production of “Beauty and the Beast” in which he was supposed to fly across the stage, but because he wasn’t hooked into the flying apparatus exactly right, he ended up spinning around like a piñata instead. “The Play That Goes Wrong” is a British import and currently the longest-running play on Broadway. The play won an Olivier Award for Best New Comedy and a Tony Award for Best Set. The national tour opens an eight-show run at the Peace Center Tuesday, Oct. 2. The play, which has been called a hybrid of “Monty Python” and “Sherlock Holmes,” is about the Cornley University Drama Society’s dogged, but sometimes futile-looking attempt to get through a performance of “The Murder at Haversham Manor,” a 1920s murder mystery. “The show’s No. 1 objective is to entertain, and it does that for two solid hours,” Crim said. “It’s so constantly funny. The audience has ridiculous reactions the whole time. It’s smart humor.” After eight rounds of auditions, Crim

was cast as Robert, a role he wanted for its physical-type of comedy and because he was relatable. He said when “The Play That Goes Wrong” premiered on Broadway last year, almost 30 of his friends called him and insisted he needed to go see the play. Crim liked what he saw, especially in Robert. “Unfortunately, I can relate to him,” Crim said. “He has an inflated sense of self-worth. He’s a very classical actor who thinks he elevates the show. He’s got delusions of grandeur.” Plus, Crim liked the comedy required in the role. “It’s a very specific type of comedy,” he said. “It’s really intelligently set up.” Crim said audiences have responded well to the humor and seem to empathize with the people on stage. “The actors are trying their hardest to get the murder mystery done. They are trekking on through against the odds,” he said. “I don’t think ‘The Play That Goes Wrong’ was written with any underlying message. But if there is one it would be that perseverance is one of the greatest things you can have.”

Bluegrass & Big Band Chuck Nation Bluegrass Band joins the Chorale to present, “Come Away to the Skies: A High Lonesome Mass,” by Wes Ramsay & Tim Sharp.

Singer-songwriter Jim Lauderdale brings country twang, roots-rock sounds to Upstate VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER

vharris@communityjournals.com

It’s difficult to imagine a more fullcircle moment than the one that Grammy-winning singer and songwriter Jim Lauderdale is experiencing right now. On Aug. 3, Lauderdale and Yep Roc Records released “Time Flies,” his 31st album. It was in some ways a typical release for Lauderdale; his rich, powerful voice soaring across a set of songs that mixed country twang and roots-rock grit, bathed in atmospheric production and accented by sharp, incisive lyrics. The singing and songwriting were of the same high quality that led artists such as George Strait, Gary Allan, Elvis Costello, Blake Shelton, the Dixie Chicks, Vince Gill, Patty Loveless, Dwight Yoakam, and Lucinda Williams to seek him out, either as a writer or a vocalist. But on the same day that “Time Flies,” an album that largely concerns itself with memory and how quickly the years go by, was released, Yep Roc also issued “Jim Lauderdale & Roland White,” a lost album from 1979 featuring one of bluegrass music’s most

revered mandolin pickers and a young singer-songwriter who idolized him. “I thought that it was lost forever,” Lauderdale says of the album with Roland White. “When I made that record in 1979, I thought it was going to be my big break. It was almost too good to be true to be doing this record with one of my heroes.” But anyone who looks at Lauderdale’s catalog will see that it doesn’t officially begin until 1991, so that big break wasn’t imminent. “I sent it around with a handwritten letter and a cassette tape to all the bluegrass labels I knew of,” Lauderdale says, “and they all felt like I was an unknown and they didn’t want to take a chance. That really discouraged me, so I pursued country music more after that and put it on the back burner.” A few years down the road, with Lauderdale landing his songs on albums by country superstars and his own work getting critical acclaim, he thought the time was right to try to release the album again, but a new problem presented itself. “I got ahold of Roland and said I think somebody will put this out now,” he says, “and then we realized that neither of us knew where the master copy

shine Gold took home the gold in the Brett Beer category out of 61 entries. As if that weren’t enough, they also landed a bronze out of 116 entries in the Specialty Saison category for their Rustic Sunday beer. For some perspective on these wins, the beer festival featured 800 breweries and more than 3,800 beers. It’s pretty great to see our little ol’ town listed amongst other muchmore-established brewery locations, and we owe it to these guys.

Under new management Solid gold Birds Fly South Ale Project at Hampton Station made some pretty big news last weekend at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver, Colorado. Their C’mon Sun-

of the record was. So I just figured it was gone.” Cut to a couple of decades later, and one night in a Nashville, Tennessee, club when Lauderdale and White were playing a show together. During the show, White casually mentioned that his wife had found a master copy. “I was really pleased that Yep Roc liked it and they thought it made sense to put it out on the same day as my new album,” he says. “It would’ve been my fist record, and it became my 30th. It means a lot to me emotionally that that record finally saw the light of day.” The full-circle part comes in because the two albums have some unexpected connections between them.

located on the fourth floor. Strait comes from the Marriott Spartanburg, and most notably, was a member of the food-and-beverage team for the 2012 PGA Championship and the 2013 Masters Tournament. Campbell previously served as an event coordinator at The Cliffs Clubs. She began her career at The Cliffs as a server and worked her way to become food-and-beverage supervisor before taking on her final role as event coordinator.

Speaking of new jobs There are a bunch of positions open for the new El Thrifty authentic Mexican cuisine concept and social club coming to the Swamp Rabbit Trail. Along with the usual kitchen and front-of-house jobs, there’s also an opening for an experienced event coordinator. Email andrea@elthrifty.com with the position you’re applying for in the subject line.

“That first record was done in the basement of [bluegrass banjo legend] Earl Scruggs’ house,” Lauderdale says. “He had a recording studio and Roland suggested it. Well, Earl Scruggs’ grandson, Chris, played some really great guitar on “Time Flies” and his sound really added a lot of layers to the record. Also, Marty Stuart played lead acoustic guitar on that first album, and Chris Scruggs plays in Marty’s band now.” If Lauderdale is feeling particularly nostalgic about his career right now, his visit to The Spinning Jenny in Greer on Friday will probably bring back some memories, too — and not just because he played to a few hundred people there a few months back. “I lived for three years of my youth in Due West, South Carolina,” he says. “My folks lived there for 34 years, so I’d go there several times during the year to visit. I get a really good feeling when I come to the area. There are just certain places in the country that resonate with me, and I just feel at home in South Carolina.”

euphoria 2018 WORDS BY ARIEL TURNER | PHOTO BY WILL CROOKS

Festival wraps up another successful year catering to foodies, wine lovers Now that the dust has settled from the 2018 euphoria food, wine, and music festival held Sept. 20-23, here’s a recap of some of the highlights and a guide to planning for next year. Things you missed if you weren’t there: The Weather Channel personality Jim Cantore mugging on cue for every camera in the vicinity. He’s also a big Greenville fan and will likely be back. Chef Sean Brock of Husk calling his friend, actor Bill Murray, during The Michelin Experience dinner hosted by Husk Greenville. It happened to be Murray’s birthday, and Brock and the 75-or-so guests sang “Happy Birthday” to him over speakerphone. James Beard Award-winning chef Tory McPhail of Commander’s Palace in New Orleans dancing his tail off to the Soda City Brass Band at the Big Easy Bash. A wine seminar with comedienne and sommelier Laurie Forster where she paired Cheetos with cabernet sauvignon and Cool Ranch Doritos with rosé. A Devereaux’s staff reunion that showcased the chefs and the best cuisine from the experimental restaurant formerly located on East Court Street. It was a bit ahead of its time for Greenville and closed in 2013 after an eight-year run. How to plan for next year:

For the true foodie Save up your pennies and snag a ticket to one (or more) of the guest chef dinners and Sunday Supper. These special collaborations between Michelin-starred, James Beard Award-winning, and other notable chefs are a convenient way to dine on some of the best food in the country without the hassle or expense of traveling to each of the restaurants represented. For instance, the Michelin-starred dinner on Saturday night featured chefs from France, San Francisco, and Chicago in one location – the budget and time required to visit each of those restaurants would be prohibitive for the general populace. And a word of caution: if tendon, beef tongue, or head cheese sounds a bit too adventurous for your palate, these dinners may not be the best option for you, but don’t let that scare you away. These dinners are as much for the experience as they are for the taste.

For the partier The Big Easy Bash ($85) in name alone is the first clue that this event is a straight up party with the Soda City Brass Band jammin’ and N’awlins food slingin’. Don’t miss it. But the Greenville Kick-off Party ($75), Feast by the Field ($85), or Sunday Brunch ($55) are also three great values for the amount of wine, liquor, and food options available. Plus, there’s great music, too. The chefs and restaurants represented during these events show-

case what they do best in an environment where they are catering to a less-specialized audience. Basically, everything is going to taste good and be easy to figure out. Also, be warned, with the open bar and three to four hours of drinking time, you’ll need to pace yourself. But the good news is, if you were racking up that bar tab elsewhere, it’d likely cost a lot more.

For the budget conscious but curious Take a classroom. At $35 a pop, they are the most budgetfriendly events and oft-times the most entertaining because of the small, intimate setting. Learn about oysters, craft cocktails, wine pairings, barbecue, and biscuit-making from true culinary experts all while having a dang good time.

For the music lover Songwriter’s Recipe on Thursday night is a favorite event for country music fans. During this event the songwriters behind some of the biggest country hits sit down and perform their own music, rather than the big name who made it popular. Lunch & Listen: Noteworthy was a new event this year, featuring two singersongwriters and food and wine pairings. Taste of the South on Friday night gets the biggest musical act of the weekend and to close out the festival, a final concert was added after Sunday Supper this year. At $25 a ticket with an open bar, that’s a no-brainer.

ON SALE NOW!

CONCERT

As appealing as the idea of seeing Fleetwood Mac live on their (presumably) farewell tour might be, it stings a bit that singer-guitarist Lindsey Buckingham — such a huge part of the band’s sound from the 1970s onward — won’t be along for the ride. Nothing against former Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers lead guitarist Mike Campbell and Crowded House singer-guitarist Neil Finn, but there’s a certain magic to that “Rumours”-“Tusk” lineup that scored hits such as “Rhiannon,” “Go Your Own Way,” “Gypsy,” and “You Make Loving Fun.” But if authenticity is what you’re looking for when it comes to those vintage hits, not to mention a ticket price way below three figures, the tribute band Rumours might be a good bet. The band doesn’t just pump out the classic Mac hits in eerily on-point versions, but they dress the part as well, with their Stevie Nicks-like singer twirling center stage in the top hat, shawl, and lace.

The quartet seems to have found a second home in the Upstate, playing venues all around town over the past couple of years. “Since we first started playing there, I feel like we’ve connected with audiences very well,” Kyle Travers says. “You can tell the town had a great underground music scene, but it’s started to come more to the forefront, and when we come around you can tell that people are genuinely excited about the music. With performers like Marcus King coming out of Greenville and putting in on the map, people have really latched onto the scene and it’s reblossoming.” The band is finishing up its second album, a release that Travers says will take the polished soul-rock of the 2016 album “A Way to Survive” and expand it, much the way the band does live. “I’d say the sound has definitely evolved,” he says. “The songs are longer this time with a pronounced beginning, middle, and end. I really think it’s going to make an awesome record to tour on because you’re not just doing a four-minute song you might hear on the radio.”

For the past three years, the Greenville nonprofit Upstate Splash has been providing swimming lessons to atrisk and underprivileged youth, teaching more than 1,800 children a vital skill for a very important, and somewhat surprising, reason. “Drowning is the No. 1 accidental loss of life for kids under 4, and it’s the No. 3 issue for kids up to age 14,” says Steven Scott, the founder of Upstate Splash. “So what we’re trying to do is make a difference.” One of the ways that Upstate Splash often raises money is through concerts, and one of the most successful events they’ve hosted was a tribute to The Rolling Stones at Revel a couple of years ago. This time out, Scott looked to another legendary artist to pay tribute to and settled on Tom Petty. “We all know Tom, and so many of us grew up with his music,” he says. “He was such an iconic musician with an unbelievable songbook. Anytime we can bring great bands together to pay tribute to someone like that, it allows us to produce something people can enjoy and raise awareness about what we do.” CAUSES & FUNDRAISING
