Greenville’s Hot Air Balloon Festival & Victory Cup Polo Match

T

he hot air balloon festival Freedom Weekend Aloft was an Upstate staple for 33 years.

It’s been five years since that event was held, and now a new festival is on the rise in Simpsonville. On Nov. 1 and 2, Greenville’s inaugural Hot Air Balloon Festival and Victory Cup Polo Match will take flight.Founded 15 years ago, the Victory Cup started in Washington D.C. and then spent several years in the New York and Connecticut area before expanding to a national event.

The event has grown exponentially. This event used to be just held once a year. This year we have eleven events across five different states.”

-Joe Bachmeier, Victory Cup co-owner “The event has grown exponentially,” said Joe Bachmeier, Victory Cup co-owner. “This event used to be just held once a year. This year we have 11 events across five different states.”

The event features tethered balloon rides (weather permitting) both days and three polo matches on Nov. 2.

According to Bachmeier, pairing hot air balloons with polo is a perfect fit.

“Balloons can only typically activate in the morning and evening, so we have balloons around sunrise, polo throughout the day and then we bring the hot air balloons back out around sunset,” said Bachmeier.

Another appealing thing about pairing the two activities is that polo can be played rain or shine, whereas the hot air balloons can easily be grounded due to weather conditions.

“Over 60% of Victory Cup attendees have never been to a polo match before,” said Bachmeier. “It is our mis-

Maddox herself comes across as gentle and thoughtful but also conscientious. As executive director at the Phoenix Center — a prevention, treatment and recovery service for those struggling with substance abuse or addiction — Maddox says her work requires enormous measures of sensitivity and respect.

She says recovery and prevention methods have evolved positively over time, especially by professionals recognizing that clients have the ability to make good choices.

NEED TO KNOW

Maddox to pursue a career in substance abuse counseling.

The Phoenix Center allows those struggling with substance abuse to leave the debilitating cycle of hurt, loss and hopelessness and regain their stability and self-worth.

DRIVING THE CAR Maddox describes the Phoenix Center’s technique for client support as “motivational interviewing.” “[Motivational interviewing] is an approach where you really allow the client to find their own motivation so you engage in a conversation where you’re really just listening,” she says. “You might use words to encourage them, you know, to keep thinking about [what they’re doing]. You’re not really directing them.”

Metaphorically, she says, the client drives the car while the counselor, professional or family member is in the passenger’s seat.

This method is helpful because, as Maddox explains, simply directing or bossing can have negative effects on a person’s treatment and recovery from substance abuse.

“When you’re always telling somebody what they should do or shouldn’t do, one thing is they stop listening to you.

And the second thing is, it really doesn’t encourage them to think through their own problems,” Maddox says.

Study examines impact of gentrification on 10 Greenville neighborhoods Furman-United Way study is the first-of-its-kind

n story by JOHN JETER | photo by WILL CROOKS

It confirmed what we know: that people are struggling to make ends meet on the things that you and I care about for our families—quality transportation, affordable housing, access to quality housing.”

-Meghan Barp, president & CEO, UWGC

Neighborhoods on the periphery of Greenville’s explosive—and awardwinning—development are experiencing what one community leader called a crushing wave of financial and social stresses, according to a first-of-its-kind study of local gentrification.

“As the tide lifts, everything is lifted. I don’t see it as a tide being lifted. I see it more of as a tsunami,” says one participant quoted in the report released Oct. 25.

Titled “Change in Greenville County Neighborhoods: Challenges and Opportunities,” the 87-page analysis caps off a collaboration between Furman University and United Way of Greenville County, which commissioned the study.

Where are the poor people going to go? Where are they going to live? You can’t just push them out and say thank goodness we got rid of those people.”

-Berea resident

“It confirmed what we know: that people are struggling to make ends meet on the things that you and I care about for our families—quality transportation, affordable housing, access to quality housing,” says UWGC’s President and CEO Meghan Barp.

Beginning in February 2018, students and faculty took to the streets of 10 Greenville County census tracts experiencing various stages of gentrification.

Students distributed flyers to recruit 72 residents for focus groups in Brandon, Berea, West Greenville, Haynie-Sirrine and Simpsonville, among others.

“They would see a lot of different things going on in these neighborhoods,”

says Shaniece Criss, Assistant Professor of Health Sciences and one of the study’s two principals, who earned her doctorate at Harvard and sits on Travelers Rest’s City Council. “So we really tried to give you an honest assessment.”

The report bristles with frank appraisals of housing affordability; rising rents and property taxes; access to public transportation and better healthcare; infrastructure and investors’ developments; “in-movers” and “out-movers”; and changing demographics, among other issues.

In the Haynie-Sirinne neighborhood, which straddles South Church Street and sits a mile and a half from the heart of Greenville’s Top 10 downtown, one resident told researchers that gentrification is inevitable.

“There’s the need or desire for development, but it almost borders on a mean-spirited ignoring of realities of other human beings that are being affected by the movements,” said the resident, who, like all other participants, is unnamed. “Not that it shouldn’t happen, it’s going to happen, but how to be more humane about it.”

Amelia Miles, one of three Furman students who researched and compiled the qualitative (people) and quantitative (numbers) study, says the results

It's a tremendous amount of improvement with kids. You don't see as much shooting, you don't see as much prostitution, you don't see as much drugs.

Obviously, you can't eliminate all of them, but you do have some. But, if the people see what it was at that time because compared to what it was now, it's like day and night ... day and night.”

reveal an under-resourced Greenville needing more attention.

“A lot of this goes unseen,” says Miles, 21, now a Benefits Counselor at Greenville’s United Ministries. “We kind of always talk about the ‘Furman bubble’ and how we don’t see a lot of this poverty in Greenville.”

The study's focus group consisted of 72 RESIDENTS in areas including Brandon, Berea, West Greenville, Haynie-Sirrine & Simpsonville She says she was especially taken aback with rent increases. A 14-page Executive Summary accompanying the report says that from 1990 to 2016 real median household income across the studied census tracts fell by 5.3 percent while real median rent skyrocketed by nearly 24 percent.

In a neighborhood designated as “Across South Pleasantburg From Nicholtown,” one resident said, “Older folks get priced out of rentals that they’ve lived in for decades. They’re going to not just have to leave their houses, they’re also going to have to leave their support structures.”

Not every comment in the report painted such a grim picture of the county’s gentrification/displacement issues.

Once it was Green-ville, but no, it’s more of concreteville. … You really could take the word ‘green’ away.”

“Participants expressed the notion that affordability is relative; the cost of living in these neighborhoods is simultaneously what pushes people out and draws people in,” the study says.

anybody get displaced, but I like seeing the community built up.”

Another Brandon neighbor put one benefit of gentrification more bluntly: “You don't see as much shooting, you don't see as much prostitution, you don't see as much drugs.”

Lauren Prunkl, who joined the project as a student in January 2018, handled the GIS portion, or Geographic Information System, which transforms mountains of data into maps. (Those visuals can be found here.)

“From the data perspective, looking at different indicators across time was pretty sobering in the sense that a lot of things have gotten worse, which isn't what you want to see,” says Prunkl, 23, who graduated in 2018 and continues at Furman as a quantitative analyst on a post-baccalaureate fellowship.

“But I think there's definitely opportunities for further collaboration with local organizations.”

Barp shares those hopes.

“I think it really illuminated this path for us at United Way to say, ‘Gosh, we can do more and we can be really thoughtful and strategic about what our future looks like to make sure we’re doing everything we possibly can to ensure that everyone in Greenville County has a quality of life that we think is possible. It gave us some clear marching orders on where we can go from here.”

SOLUTIONS?

The report offers a sprawling array of recommendations, from rent controls to improved public transit, better access to healthcare and healthier food choices, more greenspace and increased interaction within neighborhoods.

Furman’s Dr. Shaniece Criss suggests local businesses and restaurants encourage neighborhood get-togethers. “We really have to cultivate how we can bring people together, talking, from the different groups.”

CHANGING DEMOGRAPHICS

HOUSING AFFORDABILITY

The diversity index changed from 0.688 in 1990 to 0.612 in 2016. A diversity index of zero indicates "perfect" diversity, while 1 indicates no diversity.

The percentage of households with rental costs exceeding 35% of household income in Greenville County increased from 25.3% in 1990 to 38.1% in 2016.

WORKFORCE READINESS/EDUCATION Median real per capita income in Greenville County has increased a modest 7.6% since 1990, but has decreased across some of the study areas

TRUST Just 52% of Americans say they trust all or most of their neighbors, while 48% say they trust some or none of their neighbors, according to a 2015 Pew Research Center survey.

TRANSPORTATION A number of Greenville County census tracts in 2016 had approximately 20-40% of occupied-housing units without access to a vehicle.

GIVING MATTERS

THE POWER OF COLLECTIVE GIVING Maggie Glasgow, past Co-Chair, Greenville Women Giving; Board Member, Catalist n story by REBECCA HOWERTON | photo PROVIDED

Collective giving, a pooling of resources among like-minded people to support a community or cause, has tripled in size in the United States in the past two decades, led by a rise of women’s grantmaking organizations formed around this principle. These organizations have their own unique permutations, but all share some commonalities: • Their members pool money to make larger grants for greater impact.

• They employ formalized, memberdriven grants-review procedures.

• They use a democratic process to select their recipients.

• They offer educational and leadership opportunities to foster informed philanthropy.

In Greenville, the collective-giving model is exemplified by Greenville Women Giving, born as a special initiative of the Community Foundation of Greenville. Three local women, Harriet Goldsmith, Frances Ellison and Sue Priester, founded Greenville Women Giving in 2006 based on the model pioneered by Washington Women’s Foundation in Seattle, Washington — a collective-giving organization founded by Colleen Willoughby and others in 2000.

The Community Foundation of Greenville has been critically important to the success of Greenville Women Giving. Fourteen years ago, The Community Foundation leadership saw the potential benefit a strong collective-giving group would bring the community — and they have never wavered in their support. Bob Morris’s introduction of the founders, GREENVILLE WOMEN GIVING WAS the $50,000 match for the first three rounds of granting, and the continual FOUNDED IN 2006 BY LOCALS: support on innumerable levels has advanced an organization that has grown to over 550 members and collectively granted more than $6 million to 79 Greenville County nonprofits.

GWG’s local success is also part of a national story.

Shortly after Below: Beverly Ward, Magaly Penn, Emmy Holt, and Karyl Woldum GWG’s inception, the Washington Women’s Foundation led the formation of a network of like organizations to host national leadership conferences, to be a forum to share resources and best practices.

GWG was an original member and remains one of the larg-

est active groups in the current Catalist (formerly WCGN) network of 72 affiliates. GWG founder Sue Priester was a founding board member and continues to plan and moderate Catalist’s webinar educational series.

What members gain from the collective-giving experience is rich and rewarding. GWG grants in five focus areas: arts and culture, education, environment, health, and human services.

In addition, every year they offer members five educational sessions, one in each focus area, featuring issues, programs and policies presented by experts on the needs and resources in our community. Members who wish for a deeper dive can serve on the grant selection committee — the 80-90-member group of teams tasked with building the ballot for the full membership vote.

The membership “surprise” for most are the new friendships made and relationships forged. GWG is a cross section of informed and engaged women from throughout the county, from diverse personal and professional backgrounds, who generate a synergy different from most single-purpose organizations. In addition to long-time Greenvillians, GWG attracts newcomers and is seen

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // OCTOBER 25

as a welcoming place to quickly learn about and become involved in their new community, and to meet new friends.

The philanthropic surprise is based on surveys of GWG members. They mirror the findings of national studies of women’s collective giving groups.

Our members report they: • Give more money overall to philanthropy since joining GWG. • Give their philanthropic dollars more strategically than in the past.

• Have become personally involved with nonprofits they have encountered through GWG, including direct donations, volunteer efforts and even board participation.

This ripple effect is the true power of collective giving, and one that has made the larger philanthropic sector sit up and take notice. Greenville Women Giving has fostered a place where women have the ability to donate time, treasure, talent and testimony. Together they have taken that to heart, and today Greenville is the richer for it.

Bridge concept part of Swamp Rabbit Extension plans n story by JESSICA MULLEN | rendering provided by GREENVILLE COUNTY’S DEPARTMENT OF PARKS, RECREATION & TOURISM

The city planners behind the Swamp Rabbit Trail have announced plans for five new bridges and an intersection crossing to help users of the popular trail get to where they need to be.

The goal for the trail system’s development is transportation, not tourism. The question planners at Greenville County Parks, Recreation and Tourism ask themselves, according to Ty Houck, county director of greenways, natural and historic resources, is “how can we create a system for someone so that they can leave home with just a debit card and their phone?

“I’ve heard of children, not of driving age, using this system to go from downtown Greenville to TR to eat at Tandem,” Houck continues. “The Swamp Rabbit Cafe is [also] a destination, so residents should be able to get there on the trail system without having to get in their cars.”

Whether it's a retiree using the trail for exercise or a day laborer using the trail to get to his or her next job, the trail serves its purpose when it connects Greenvillians to various parts of the county. According to Houck: “Tourism is great, but we get a lot more investment from residents.”

The trail system currently runs for 22 miles from north of Travelers Rest to Mauldin. The city of Greenville hopes to utilize the trail system in creating a “walking highway,” with multiple inter-

connected trails improving pedestrian opportunities. The Green Line is the main corridor, commonly referred to as the Swamp Rabbit Trail. The Orange Line splits from the Green Line at West Washington Street, near Monaghan Mill and the Swamp Rabbit Cafe, and leads to Hampton Station. Although it is the only additional line at this time, Houck says he wants to see other trails added in the future.

The county’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism is looking for a contractor to build five new bridges in a style similar to downtown’s Liberty Bridge.

The department has released a design concept for five new bridges to be added to the trail system. Two of the bridges are upgrades to existing bridges. The locations for the new bridges include: • Laurens Road and Hillside Drive at Willy Taco • Haywood Road near the intersection with Halton Road • Verdae Boulevard at the Velo Verdae apartments Studies showed that at one trail crossing, the Green Line traffic is equal to the vehicular traffic. According to the statement, the DOT decided to install a light that allows Swamp Rabbit Trail users to cross the four-way intersection at Airport Road diagonally, instead of crossing the road twice. The green painted line and push-button crossing signal will help the approximately 360 trail users who cross that road in one hour’s time, according to Houck. The pedestrians and bikers will have the right of way, similar to the crossing at the existing light on the trail at Sulphur Springs Road.

CHILDHOOD ADVERSITY WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW n story by EMILY WARNER

TOXIC STRESS RESEARCH

Exposure to intense, frequent, or sustained stress without the buffering care of a supportive adult, can change children’s brains and bodies.

Greenville Women Giving recently hosted a panel at the Kroc Center to help raise public awareness of child abuse, neglect and adversity in Greenville County, and to communicate available resources for children. The event featured speakers from two local child-advocacy groups, A Child's Haven and the pediatrics division of Prisma Health System. Below are some of the topics discussed during the panel.

A CHILD'S HAVEN is a Greenville nonprofit organization that treats children with developmental delays as a result of limited resources, abuse, or neglect, and provides support and education for both the child and their families. During their most recent year of the program:

CHILDREN RECEIVED THERAPEUTIC SERVICES OF CHILDREN DEMONSTRATED MEASURABLE IMPROVEMENT TOTAL CAREGIVERS RECEIVED WEEKLY HOME VISITS

Children with high ace scores are

3X RISK for HEART DISEASE or LUNG CANCER.

The term “ADVERSE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES,” or “ACES,” comes from the 1998 Adverse Childhood Experiences Study examing exposure to childhood adversity.

NERVOUS SYSTEM

Disruption to the developing brain, including changes to the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex and amygdala, may lead to an increase in risk of cognitive impairment, attention deficits, learning disabilities, hyperactivity, self-regulation, memory and attention, and anxiety.

CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM

Toxic stress can increase a person's risk of developing high blood pressure, elevating levels of inflammation that can damage the arteries. These conditions can lead to heart disease, stroke and other serious health issues later in life.

IMMUNE SYSTEM

Higher risk of infection and autoimmune disease may occur due to chronic inflammation and other factors, which cause changes in the body’s natural immune defense responses.

ENDOCRINE SYSTEM

Toxic stress can impact growth and development.

It can also lead to obesity and changes in the timing of puberty, as well as other issues.

THERAPY FOR EVERYBODY 5 Myths About Your Back ...BUSTED!

NEED TO KNOW

EVENT

Run4Life raising funds for local cancer patients, research n story by STAFF

Don’t believe everything you hear regarding back pain—Elizabeth Galyas, PT, DPT and Clinical Director at Elite Integrated Therapy Centers is here to set the record straight…

E X ER CI S E C A N H U RT Y O U R BA C K

Fact: With professional guidance under a licensed Physical Therapist, exercise can help your back by strengthening the muscles that support your spine. A strong, well-conditioned back can withstand more stress and better stabilize the spine.

A HE R NI ATE D D IS C N E E D T O BE S U RGIC A LLY REPA IRED

Fact: The intervertebral discs act to cushion your spine against stress.

These discs may rupture, or herniate, if the outer layer of the disc weakens.

The jelly-like center of the disc leaks, irritating the nerve. More than 90% of herniated discs get better on their own with conservative treatment such as Physical Therapy and activity modification.

I F Y OU HAVE BU L G IN G D IS C S , Y O U H AVE A M A JO R M ED IC A L P R OB L E M FO R L IF E

Fact: Bulging discs are a normal part of aging. Only a fraction of patients with bulging discs experience symptoms.

RUN4LIFE SATURDAY, NOV. 2 | 7:00AM CAINE HALTER YMCA REGISTRATION VARIES RUN4LIFESC.ORG

MR I I MA GES ALWAY S S H O W T H E S O URC E O F BA C K PA IN

Fact: MRI uses a magnetic field to create detailed images of organs and tissues within your body. These scans can demonstrate annular tears, herniated discs, and nerve compression. However, they do not show weak muscles or poor movement that contribute to back pain. MRIs will also show the normal age related wear and tear can be misleading as the source of back pain.

THE B ES T TH IN G F O R A S O RE BA C K IS RES T

Fact: It seems counterintuitive, but the best thing for your back is gentle exercise. Walking, for example, gets you out of a sitting posture and into a more neutral, upright alignment. Gentle, easy activity helps as well.

Licensed Physical Therapists can best supervise and create a tailored routine for patients.

At Elite Integrated Therapy Centers, we take time to understand the root cause of your back pain and create a treatment plan customized to your needs and recovery goals. If you are experiencing back pain with little to no relief, or would like a second opinion, give us a call!

Caine Halter’s death at age 44 from lung cancer was a tragedy that touched his family, friends and colleagues. Twelve years ago, Halter’s “army” - as they call themselves - decided to help others through the fundraising event, Lungs4Life, which raised nearly $1 million.

For the past five years, the children and adult walk/run fundraiser has been known as Run4Life and the proceeds go toward patients fighting all types of cancer.

“Fundraisers are a vital part of us being able to continue our projects,” said Julie Martin, director of cancer research for Prisma Health Upstate. “They really are making a difference.”

Organizers’ goal for the Nov. 2 event is to raise $140,000 through sponsorships and the participation of around 1,000 runners/walkers.

The 2019 Run4Life dollars go to a few different local causes:

Prisma Health Cancer Institute and Cancer Society of Greenville County Prevent Cancer Greenville: This is a new, free initiative within Prisma Health to screen and monitor healthy “well” people annually to be able to determine causes of a diagnosis if one should arise. Basic science researchers use the data gathered to find indicators of what could be changed and turn the patient’s health trajectory around. The goal is to prevent cancer from developing in the first place.

The ITOR Caine Halter Lung Fund, part of Prisma Health: This fund was developed specifically for research projects like ongoing research in the rare tumor center. That research uses gene sequencing to determine if certain mutations within the cancer would respond to drugs that are normally used for other cancers. Funds also help look for clinical trials or other drugs that could be used.

Additionally, in past years, Run4Life funds have been used to support the efforts of small biotech companies like Kiyatec Inc. The Greenville-based company’s tech has been used in the Prisma Health Cancer Center to determine which drugs would effectively treat certain tumors.

Five Forks: one of the most popular 8 square miles in Greenville County Five Forks, an affluent and quickly growing suburb located in Greenville County covers an approximate 8 square mile area of what is officially considered Simpsonville.

Even though Five Forks has no formal municipal government it is considered, locally as well as nationally, as an official "suburban area" of Greenville. The area got it's name due to the five roads that split off of Woodruff Road, including one that is actually called Five Forks Road.

Officially it is known as a census-designated place (CDP), a populated area that generally includes one officially designated but currently unincorporated community, for which the CDP is named. In the early 90s the Five Forks area was nothing more than a very rural area with just a crossroad at its center, but over the last few years that crossroad area has become anything but rural.

Now a mecca of shopping, dining and entertainment choices the Five Forks area has

doubled in population more than once over the last twenty years.

With an influx of residential developments in the area, highly rated schools, convenience to major highways, downtown Greenville and several major area employers the Five Forks area has become one of the hottest real estate areas in Greenville County. According to niche.com the median home value in the Five Forks area is $282,400 with an astounding 91% of residents owning their home.

Niche.com also ranked Five Forks as the number 1 (of 190) best places to live in South Carolina, and number 2 (of 190) best places to raise a family in South Carolina. With a median household income of $100k+ and a lower than average cost of living it's no wonder people continue to flock to the area.

Tech University. He eventually graduated college and decided to go to the Virgin Islands to live for a couple of years. “Why not,” Pandolfi says.

There he taught chorus for a year but got into playing cocktail-lounge piano.

“This is when I had to learn to play the piano by ear,” Pandolfi said. “I played the current pop tunes of the time, like The Beatles.”

mile Pandolfi, a native New Yorker, found his way to Greenville and is running Magic Music Productions, a recording studio, with his wife Judy.

Pandolfi has deep musical roots: He grew up in an Italian family where everyone played instruments. At 5 years old, he started taking lessons at Third Street Music Settlement in Manhattan, the nation’s longest-running community music school.

“I remember one time I was waiting for my music lesson and there was a recital go-

ing on,” Pandolfi said. “I heard this beautiful piece of music on the piano and knew I had to play it one day.”

Pandolfi learned seven years later that it was Chopin’s Waltz in C Sharp Minor.

Opera and classical music often played in Pandolfi’s parent’s home. When he turned 9, he and his family moved to Greenville, where he took piano lessons at Furman University until he went off to college.

His first year of college was at Furman but Pandolfi said he decided to follow a piano teacher to Baylor University and Texas

This is when I had to learn to play the piano by ear. I played the current pop tunes of the time, like The Beatles.”

-Emile Pandolfi, pianist From there he went to England on a whim. He lived there for two years as well, playing in pubs and earning enough money to keep three month visas.

After leaving England, he made his way to Colorado, where for two years he played more cocktail-lounge piano with a band called Buddy Brown and the Bittersuite.

“I think I have a two-year cycle,” Pandolfi said. “I get tired of things and I have never had a real day job.”

His next move was to Los Angeles on yet another whim. He stayed for 13 years playing for ballet classes, acting classes and a few restaurants.

Soon he found himself working at The Comedy Store, a comedy club that

has hosted stars like Robin Williams and Jim Carrey. He would play 30 minutes before the show started and for comedian’s sets if needed.

While in L.A., he also auditioned to be a part of the group Melanie after they performed at Woodstock. He traveled with the band to Australia where they toured for three months.

After being with the band for about a year, Pandolfi made his way back to Greenville where he began to play on cruise ships departing from San Diego to Fort Lauderdale. “I went through the Panama Canal 10 times because I was the house pianist,” Pandolfi said.

In 1990, Pandolfi recorded his first cassette tape of Broadway tunes. This is when he decided to start recording and performing concerts for a living. His wife Judy orchestrated everything, he said, and really helped to get the business started.

Because CDs are not as popular as they once were, Magic Music Productions shifted gears and started streaming, which has proven to be quite successful. “Over Pandora, Spotify and Apple music, we have half a billion streams,” Pandolfi said.

Sponsored by

Through art and artifacts the Love A Vet exhibition, and its related programming, will encourage the public to appreciate the sacrifices made by veterans and their families and educate on the challenging issues that veterans face upon their reentry into civilian life. Exhibit runs through January 5, 2020.

GROUPS

There have been two EP’s released this year under the band name Sesh, and it’s difficult to imagine them being much more different from one another.

The first one, “Anomie,” came out in April. “Anomie” is five tracks of intimate, acoustic introspection; singer/songwriter/guitarist Justin Sardinha pours his photo PROVIDED heart out on four originals and a cover of Townes Van Zandt’s “Waiting Around To Die,” and he’s even referred to the EP as “a musical journal of sadness and reverb.”

The second one, the just-released and simply titled “I,” tips far more heavily in the direction of hyped up, propulsive, guitar-fueled indie-rock; Sardinha’s vocals are rougher and edgier, occasionally resembling Widespread Panic’s John Bell.

There’s not an acoustic guitar in sight, and even the atmospheric ballad “Honesty” explodes into a fuzz-coated hard-rocking finale. It’s a total shift in sound from Sesh’s first EP, and that’s because, well, there was actually a band this time out.

“Sesh started out as a bedroom project when I was living in Raleigh,” Sardinha says. “Of the three releases we’ve had (including a collection of demos in 2018), two of them are all me.”

Then an old friend of Sardinha’s started dropping by to help out on his new songs: bassist/keyboard player Andre Van Parys.

Van Parys had played with Sardinha in his previous band, the psychedelic rockers A Moment Electric, and the bassist was also a skilled producer/engineer. He helped craft a tough-but-clear sound for Sardinha’s intense guitar-fueled indie-rock.

It’s not just the guitar noise and topnotch production that makes Sesh’s new EP work, though. Drummer Brandon Gallagher, who seems to be in every band in the Upstate right now, provided the propulsion, getting back behind the kit with his former A Moment Electric bandmates Sardinha and Van Parys.

“It was pretty casual at first,” Sardinha says of the three of them playing together again. “We were just putting songs together and having fun with it.”

We decided we were just going to make songs that we were proud of and wanted to show other people, and leave it at that.”

-Justin Sardinha, musician And Sardinha says it never occurred to him or his bandmates to worry about whether or not Sesh was going to sound like their previous band.

“We decided we were just going to make songs that we were proud of and wanted to show other people, and leave it at that,” he says. “We weren’t trying to speak to a certain demographic or genre. It was just, ‘Do we like it? Are we proud? Do we want people to hear it? Cool, let’s put it out.’”

Interestingly enough, even though the band was working in a home studio and presumably had all the time they needed, all five songs on the “I” EP were recorded pretty quickly, which Sardinha says is his preferred approach.

“When you’re recording at home, you don’t have to schedule studio time, and it’s obviously less expensive for a band that’s just starting out,” he says. “But a lot of it was first takes. I like the raw energy, and even the smaller mistakes you make in the first takes,” he says, “because it gives the songs more character. It doesn’t have that super-polished effect that people strive for; I don’t dig that. The song is what it is.

It’s not what you want it to be or what you hoped it would be, you just get what it is.”

OPINION

Euphoria founder Carl Sobocinski thanks community for event’s success n story by CARL SOBOCINSKI, Euphoria founder & past board chair | photo by WILL CROOKS

“Sunrise, Sunburn, Sunset, Repeat.”

Those lyrics remind me of Euphoria weekend. “Eat, Sip, Listen, Repeat.” As we look back on 14 incredible years of Greenville’s premier food, wine and music festival, I am amazed at how this event continues to exceed expectations and always improve on the previous year.

Many of you have heard me say, time and time again, that the best times to visit Greenville are during our fabulous festival weekends: Artisphere, BMW Charity Pro Am, Euphoria and Fall For Greenville.

I will continue to brag on all four of these great festivals, but I am proud to say, without a doubt, that the absolute best time to be in Greenville, South Carolina, is the third weekend of September for Euphoria.

Euphoria’s impact on Greenville’s hospitality, tourism, economic development, quality of life and education is second to none. In 2018, Euphoria had a $3.8 million impact on the local economy during the four days of the festival. We had guests from 29 states and the Virgin Islands. This year, in addition to hosting the Association of Food Journalists, which brought in dozens of journalists from around the country, Euphoria gave four young culinary students a chance to cook on stage with Michelin-starred chefs.

The non-profit festival also gave grants to three community organizations to fund instructional programs for deaf and blind students, equipment for a fine arts program, and scholarships for summer culinary camps for middle school students.

None of this would be possible without each and every one of Euphoria’s community partners, from event organizers, sponsors, interns and volunteers, to vendors, chefs and restaurant staff (both local and visiting), as well as local and state business leaders, elected officials and festival attendees. This kind of success and impact on our entire community only happens when we all work together, care about each other, and give selflessly.

While we are proud of Euphoria’s growth over the years, we’ve also worked hard to keep this event at an enjoyable size and maintain the intimacy that al-

lows guests to interact with Michelinstarred chefs, songwriters who’ve written No. 1 hits, and some of the best winemakers, mixologists, distillers and chefs from across the Southeast. Each year, before they leave, many of the participating chefs ask for next year’s dates and an invitation to come back again. Some even call us when they get home, asking questions about potentially opening restaurants here. That is a huge compliment to those who work tirelessly to bring great talent to Euphoria each year, and a great sign that visiting chefs are being treated well while they’re here. We are proud to show them what Greenville hospitality is all about and continually offer them opportunities they value and appreciate.

I would like to extend a very sincere thank you to all of Euphoria’s community partners for your commitment of time, talents and community spirit during Euphoria 2019 (and every year). This is truly a community event, and one that shares the best of who we are and what we do. We should all be proud of what we can accomplish together, with great teamwork and the right mindset.

CHANTICLEER’S “TRADE WINDS”

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // OCTOBER 25

You can almost always count on a Chanticleer concert to begin in the graceful Renaissance and finish on the wings of a soaring African-American spiritual.

The Grammy Award-winning men’s vocal ensemble is nothing if not eclectic and global in its musical choices.

Chanticleer brings its latest program, “Trade Winds,” to the Peace Center on Saturday, Oct. 26.

Included in the concert will be not only Renaissance music and spirituals but works by Irving Berlin, Portuguese composer Filipe de Magalhaes, modern Chinese-American composer Zhou Tian and folk songs from Wales, Japan, Korea and China.

For Chanticleer, it’s a characteristic mix of sacred and popular music. All works are performed a cappella by the 12 men of the group.

The theme of “Trade Winds,” inspired by the group’s forthcoming tour to Australia and New Zealand, is travel.

“It’s a program about adventure, the idea of going to some exotic place, and then it becomes a program about other people, about being in love and out of love as well,” said William Fred Scott, music director of Chanticleer.

True to form, Chanticleer opens the concert with Italian madrigals by Monteverdi and Gesualdo.

“They all have to do with winds and waves, love and loss,” Scott said, speaking by phone from his home in Atlanta.

SATURDAY, OCT. 26 | 8:00PM PEACE CENTER $15-$55 PEACECENTER.ORG The group’s association with Renaissance music goes back to its beginnings. Tenor Louis Botto founded the ensemble in 1978 to focus on Renaissance and Medieval music. It wasn’t long, however, before Chanticleer vastly expanded its repertoire.

THE OLD AND THE BRAND NEW

Some of the oldest works on the program are by Magalhaes, the rarely heard Portuguese Renaissance composer. The newest pieces on the program, meanwhile, were written only last year by Chinese-American composer Zhou Tian.

“This is part of the Chanticleer style,” Scott said. “We’re constantly trying to unearth old music and commission new music.”

Scott, music director of Chanticleer since 2015, served as the artistic director and principal conductor of the Atlanta Opera from 1985 to 2005. Earlier, he was associate conductor of the Atlanta Symphony — a post offered him by legendary conductor, chorus director and arranger Robert Shaw.

Scott still calls Atlanta home, though he spends much of the year in San Francisco, where Chanticleer is based, or on tour with the group.

SLEEPING BEAUTY Phyllis Mills Wyeth: A Celebration on view through December 29, 2019

From the late 1960s onward, Phyllis Mills Wyeth (November 13, 1940 – January 14, 2019) was a muse to her husband, artist Jamie Wyeth. The paintings assembled in this traveling exhibition are a memorial tribute to her and reflect her vibrant spirit and love of nature, horses, and her ever-present dogs. Phyllis Wyeth was a noted philanthropist, conservationist, environmentalist, arts supporter, accomplished horsewoman, and a staunch advocate for the rights of those with disabilities.

When you visit the GCMA, you’ll discover a carefully curated selection of American art, including the world’s largest public collection of watercolors

by Andrew Wyeth and one of the world’s best institutional collections of works by our country’s most acclaimed living artist, Jasper Johns. The museum’s unrivaled Southern Collection highlights a collection of clay vessels created by the enslaved potter David Drake; a selection of sculpture by South Carolina artist Grainger McKoy; and one of the largest collections of paintings by African-American artist William H. Johnson outside the Smithsonian.

THANK YOU! FALL for TUNES. FALL for TASTE. FALL for TAPS.

Big changes coming to the Mauldin Cultural Center with Frozen Jr. not far behind n story by GEORGIA GAY | photos PROVIDED

A Special THANK YOU to the 2019 Bank of America Fall for Greenville Sponsors

The building that at separate times housed both Mauldin High School and Mauldin Elementary is now the Mauldin Cultural Center, and renovators say that many changes lie ahead.

Van Broad, community development director, and Keira Kitchings, director for the center said they hope people will see the level of professionalism and effort being put in to revitalizing the center.

Broad came from Fountain Inn after working in what is now the Younts Center.

He said he was able to watch Fountain Inn grow and now he sees the same growth in Mauldin.

“Through the [Mauldin Cultural Center], we are able to help with economic development and push projects forward,” Broad said.

One project being pushed forward is the renovation of the center.

Empty classrooms line the hallways for artists and teachers to occupy the studio spaces. At the end of the hall is the pièce de résistance: The newly renovated theater.

Linoleum has been removed to reveal the hardwood floors. The stage now has stairs on the side for actors to get on and leave the stage. More lighting has been installed, along with a projector.

At first it was a challenge getting kids to know each other and support one another.

Now the kids have almost become like a family.”

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // OCTOBER 25

The hard work is leading to the upcoming performance of “Frozen Jr.,” directed

by Tim St. Claire II, the theater’s director.

“It is a unique situation where the play is still on Broadway and about to launch a tour of its own, but decided to release the script because the junior version is so popular,” St. Claire said.

Being the first company in the area to grab the script, the turnout for auditions was large. “Over 160 kids auditioned and 38 were casted,” Kitchings said.

The requirements for kids auditioning were they had to be 18 or younger and could read a script. “It is fun for the kids to do a show that is currently on Broadway and can only be seen in New York,” said St. Claire.

Some challenges faced during the production were working while the building was being renovated and having the children bond with one another.

“At first it was a challenge getting kids to know each other and support one another,” St. Claire said. “Now the kids have almost become like a family.”

The biggest challenge now, Kitchings said, is to accommodate everyone who wants to see the show.

“We have sold out just about every show we have done here so we extended the showing to three weekends,” Kitchings said.

The last weekend of the show is also when “Frozen 2” is slated to come out.

“We didn’t plan it, it just happened like that,” St. Claire said.

St. Claire said this performance will include some special surprises.

“There will be digital projections and animated backgrounds,” he said. “There will also be snow machines, so expect it to snow.”

Kitchings said the center is excited to show off both “Frozen Jr.” and the newly renovated space. “We could sell out in the old theater, so we have a lot of faith in the new theater,” she said.

WEST END STRING BAND, WITH EMILY MCSHERRY

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 27 | 6:30PM SANS SOUCI COMMUNITY GARDEN FREE SANS-SOUCI.ORG

A few years back, Emily McSherry was the irrepressible singer for a quirky Upstate band called The Frankness. They were, above all else, a lot of fun, reaching back past rock ‘n’ roll into older forms of country, blues, and folk, with McSherry up front strumming away on her ukulele and cutting loose with her powerful voice.

Sadly, that voice has been silent for a long time. Almost three years, in fact. But that’s what two brain surgeries within a year and a half will do to a person.

About six years ago, McSherry was diagnosed with multiple cranial neuralgias, meaning a combination of trigeminal, geniculate, and glossopharyngeal neuralgia. Rather than delve any further into the technical medical description, we’ll just let McSherry describe what that is, and what it felt like.

“I wanted to do it to prove I could still sing.”

-Emily McSherry, singer “It’s a misfiring of the cranial nerves that send information from the brainstem to the face,” she says. “It’s a progressive disorder that starts as something tolerable and eventually it becomes excruciating. Any time that my blood was pumping, there was a chance that I would be electrocuted by my own brain. It was like being poked by a cattle prod or biting into an electric fence. It’s one of the most painful medical conditions known to mankind.”

In order to combat that excruciating pain, McSherry underwent two separate brain surgeries, one in April 2016 and the second in December 2017. Those procedures made

singing impossible for her for a long time.new theater,” she said.

Since that second surgery, McSherry has performed on stage only twice, very briefly. Which is why her opening slot for the West End String Band at the Sans Souci Community Garden this Sunday is such a big deal. Luckily the show, which will end the Community Garden’s 2019 concert series season, is about as lowstress as a gig can be; McSherry will be in a bucolic outdoor setting, playing with people she loves, namely her husband Kevin Mavis on drums, Jason Sykes on guitar and Todd Janssen on upright bass.

“It’s kind of like playing in someone’s backyard,” she says. “It has this neighborhood feel.”

McSherry says that she’s doing the show for one reason.

“I wanted to do it to prove I could still sing,” she says. “I got very frustrated before because I felt like my voice wasn’t ready.

And if I’m honest with myself, I still feel like my voice isn’t ready, but I’m tired of waiting.

I’ve had a year of vocal training, but sometimes I open my mouth and nothing’s there.

Sometimes I open my mouth and I’m hitting two octaves at the same time, because my right vocal fold would vibrate at a normal frequency, but the left would vibrate extremely slowly. So it’s a challenge, but I’m ready to get back into playing music.

“I guess I’m not a very patient patient,” she adds with a laugh.

And what happens if McSherry opens her mouth to sing with her band and nothing’s there?

“I’m trying not to have any expectations,” she says. “And if someone’s enjoying the music that’s great, but I’m going to be selfish and say I’m doing this for myself. I feel like if I get up there and my voice just doesn’t ignite, that I can just take a minute away from the mic and everyone’s going to be perfectly fine with that.”

where we're EATING FOXCROFT WINE CO. Before you head to Ben Folds solo show at the Peace Center, we have five must-tries from Foxcroft Wine Co. See what we did there? Five, the third word in the name of his former full band that likes to re-band and dis-band periodically. Speaking of coming and going, the featured fresh pasta special and white wine flight at Foxcroft have limited availability, so if you have to pick two of the five, those are the move. After that, they’re all good and not so heavy that you’ll be comatose in the Peace Center’s new cozy seats by the 20-minute mark.

FOXCROFT WINE CO. OFFERS A WINE CLUB MEMBERSHIP FOR $60/MONTH. MEMBERS GET 2 BOTTLES OF HAND-SELECTED WINE.

Fall St. garage is within walking distance of both locations.

RECOMMENDED: Conchiglie Pasta ......................$16 pork cheek, chestnut mushroom, local greens, pork jus

Seared Scallops ......................$20 polenta, peas, bacon, tomato chutney

Summer Whites flight ........$11.25 Cap Cette Picpoul, Zenato Lugana Trebbiano, Lagar de Cervera Albariño

what we're SEEING BEN FOLDS & A PIANO AT THE PEACE CENTER Ben Folds has proved there’s life after the dreaded “one-hit wonder” tag.

Folds and his band, Ben Folds Five, made their biggest commercial impact in 1998 with the moving ballad “Brick,” and its striking chorus, “She’s a brick and I’m drowning slowly.”

Since then, Folds developed into a multi-faceted artist, taking his innate knack for writing catchy pop hooks and applying it to more mature piano-based tunes. He’s also become a passionate advocate for music therapy and an accomplished producer and arranger.

Above all, Folds remains an excellent live performer.

BEN FOLDS HAS WORKED ON ALBUMS BY AMANDA PALMER, KESHA AND WILLIAM SHATNER. YES, THAT WILLIAM SHATNER.
