The 17th annual Greenville Open Studios will commence on Saturday, Nov. 10. The event will feature 143 local artists, giving the public a chance to see inside the studios of some of the Upstate’s best talent, and engage more with the visual arts community in Greenville.

“It is very rewarding for the entire Upstate to see the evolution of Greenville Open Studios. Since its inception in 2002, the event has provided over $3.1 million in income for the participating artists and well over 500,000 visits to the various studios have been recorded. Greenville Open Studios is the premier sales and marketing event for Greenville’s fantastic community of visual artists.”

CERAMICS

Darin Gehrke S T O RY B Y M E L O D Y W R I G H T

“

I make work to be used. I think when something can be interacted with and used each day, it makes me feel better.”

Photo by Will Crooks

Blending art, education, and science, potter Darin Gehrke creates art to be used rather than simply viewed.

“With ceramics—functional ceramics— it needs to not only look nice and want to be used, but it also needs to be functional as well,” Gehrke says. “And so, you have to meld those two things together—aesthetics and functionality.”

Making pottery as a full-time career since 2005 when he opened his own studio, Gehrke instantly fell in love with ceramics as an art education major at Pennsylvania State University. While his father was an engineer and his mother was a teacher, Gehrke was always involved in the arts.

“Ceramics was the perfect melding of technology, science, and art,” he says. “I make all the glazes, which involves chemistry. Working on the kilns, that part of it is all technical—which I enjoy. Then along with the forming and creating of the pieces, it all works together.”

While Gehrke could use his skills to make sculptures, he chooses to make functional ceramics. “I make work to be used,” he says. “I think when something can be interacted with and used each day, it makes me feel better.” Gehrke says the piece is truly completed when it’s used by someone.

While using creativity to design aesthetically pleasing artwork, he must also implore engineering to make well proportioned ceramics. “When something is created well, we are attracted to it and want to touch it,” Gehrke says. Considering nearly everyone knows what a teapot

should look like, a misplaced or misshaped spout would drive people away, he says.

Inspiration for all his pieces comes from Japanese, Chinese, and Korean ceramics.

Having lived in China for a year with his wife, Gehrke explored the local potteries and generated ideas.

Specifically inspired by the periods in each culture where the pottery designs were timeless, he likes to add some modern edge to his pieces.

“There wasn’t a lot of glazing going on.

It was just like a single glaze, and it was all about form,” he says. “So, those periods in each culture are what I am drawn to, and that’s what I use in my own work.”

This year being his fourth time participating in Open Studios, Gehrke looks forward to using his art education experience to explain his creative workflow with visitors.

“It’s great for people to actually see the processes behind the artwork,” he says.

“It makes the artwork even more valuable I think when people can actually see how it’s created.”

Gehrke’s workspace flows into the gallery allowing guests to see work in all stages, from beginning to end. “If they’re drawn to a piece, hopefully they’ll appreciate it even more because they will know the time that was put into it and the care that was taken in creating it,” he says.

“

I always loved painting a figure, but I didn’t know what to do with the figure. So, I started sculpting figures with any material I could get my hands on.”

Kymberly Day

Photo by Will Crooks

SCULPTURES, PAINTING

In her cramped studio, disembodied figures watch her as she paints — the top half of a centaur, a unicorn head, a distraught Mary Magdalene bust.

Lines run down the sculptures where insulation foam boards fit snugly together, meticulously carved into mythical creatures and Greco-Roman shapes. Giant legs hang off of her small studio’s shelves. Torsos sit several feet from their counterparts, which when assembled at a gallery or showing, form imposing figures with gazeless stares.

Kymberly Day is one of 143 artists to be featured in Greenville’s 2018 Open Studios event from Nov. 10-11.

Perhaps most striking about Day’s sculptures are the mediums — made of pink, insulation foam boards often found inside the walls of a house, the sculptures evoke images of unfinished Renaissance-era statues.

But the unfinished aspect of the sculptures is intentional.

“They’re disembodied parts that create a whole when they are installed, and I did that to go along with the state of restoration and disarray that actual classical sculptures are found in and how they’re displayed in museums,” Day said. “There are gaps, implied continuity by the proximity.”

Originally from McKinney, Texas, Day moved to Greenville when she was 11 before attending the South Carolina Governor’s School and graduating with a bachelor’s in painting from the Maryland Institute College of Art. Day, 27, graduated from Clemson University last year with a master’s in fine arts concentrating in sculpture.

She initially tried sculpting while in college as a way to find subjects for her paintings.

S T O R Y B Y A R I E L G I L R E AT H

“For a while, I didn’t know what to paint,” Day said. “I always loved painting a figure, but I didn’t know what to do with the figure.

So, I started sculpting figures with any material I could get my hands on.”

Her paintings have an element of surrealism to them, while still maintaining realistic properties.

Day draws on artists like Dali, Donatello, and Cézanne for inspiration, but she credits several people throughout her life for influencing her.

Her idea to use insulation foam in her sculptures came from her experiences with her dad, who has worked in construction since she was young.

“I would walk around the in-progress house sites,” Day said. “He would build our homes every time we moved, so I would tour the house and see all of the

raw materials exposed as it was being built.”

Day’s mom is also an artist, which is how she learned how to paint at a young age.

“My first studio in Greenville I shared with her,” Day said. “I would sit down and paint with her when I was little and always compare myself to her.”

Now, Day has her own studio in West Greenville filled with portraits and sculptures she works on when she’s not teaching art at Lander University. In the spring, she’ll begin teaching at Clemson University as well.

JEWELRY

Tanya Stiegler S T O RY B Y M E L O D Y W R I G H T

“

Sometimes the things I bring home will wind up being a part of the finished piece, and sometimes they’re more thematic.”

Translating ideas and aesthetics from nature, artist Tanya Stiegler handcrafts pieces of jewelry using a variety of materials. For her, jewelry tells stories, represents experiences, and celebrates friendships. She has over 24 years of experience in the jewelry industry.

“When I’m out in nature, when I’m outside it’s just a sense of really feeling renewed and recharged for me,” Stiegler says. “I find that I like to bring elements of that home with me to remind me of that experience.”

Whether it’s grapevine tendrils, pebbles, or photographs from her nature walks, Stiegler always brings back something to inspire her jewelry.

“Sometimes the things I bring home will wind up being a part of the finished piece, and sometimes they’re more thematic,” she says.

While the grapevine tendrils themselves make up the Tendrils collection of jewelry, the Fizz collection expresses the movement of water as it tumbles over rocks to create air bubbles.

Creating things her whole life, Stiegler grew up playing with her greatgrandmother’s Pop-It beads and rhinestone jewelry. Her mother was a fashion designer and encouraged a creative household.

“Growing up we were just always making things, whether it was Christmas tree ornaments or cross-stitch or learning to knit,” Stiegler says. “We were just always making.”

Jewelry did not become a career in-

terest until Stiegler took a metalsmith class one summer during her college years. After interning and later working with a jeweler in Winston Salem, she was captvated with jewelry-making— the intricate designs and processes.

Good design in general inspires Stiegler most as an artist. “Good design takes a lot of experience and understanding of materials and processes and techniques,” she says. With jewelry being worn rather than hung on a wall as some art forms, the choices of materials, finishes, and processes must be very intentional.

“People have a tactile relationship with it, so you want it to be something that’s comfortable, that they want to wear, and also something that will hold up well,” Stiegler says.

Having her own studio for over two years at Hampton Station surrounded by other creators, Stiegler always knew human interaction was necessary to her work. “Being an artist there’s that component where you really need to be able to focus on what you’re doing and get things done, and that is more solitary,” she says. “But, I also really need that connection to other people, which is a big part of why I wanted to be at Hampton Station.”

“

I think my work this year kind of takes rules from nature and riffs on it, and you’ll see very organic shapes and ideas from nature and then very design-driven patterns and colors that are influenced from that background.”

Daniel Crawford

PAINTING, GRAPHIC DESIGN

Artist Daniel Crawford’s recent experience is just one example of how Greenville’s Metropolitan Arts Council supports local artists. This year, Crawford was anonymously sponsored by someone at MAC to participate in Open Studios.

“They paid for everything, which is great,” Crawford says. “It’s very typical of the Greenville art community — people seeing and reaching out and supporting other artists.”

Crawford has been in Greenville for about three years, and has had his studio at White Whale Studios for that entire time. While many of his White Whale counterparts have participated in years past, Crawford says he’s looking forward to his first year.

“I’m really excited to debut in that sense and show off what I’ve been working on,” he says.

Crawford says he is most comfortable working with the natural world and draws much of his inspiration from that.

“I think my work this year kind of takes rules from nature and riffs on it, and you’ll see very organic shapes and ideas from nature and then very design-driven patterns and colors that are influenced from that background,” he says. “That contrasts well and brings an interesting energy and edge to these pieces.”

Crawford says that, as a design student, he has a deep appreciation for both worlds — design and fine art — but feels they are often pitted against one another.

“It’s something that I felt like I may grow out of or was even being encouraged to grow out of as an artist,” Crawford says.

“I was straddling that line between design and fine art, but it’s a broad spectrum. I felt pressured to kind of choose one way

S T O RY B Y S A R A P E A R C E

or the other. Really, I don’t think you have to choose. They can be blended and mixed together, and there is no point in following a strict set of rules. You can even create more-interesting things if you are willing to experiment and have fun with the two.”

This has led Crawford to experiment with his style of art.

“This body of work is a lot of construction, almost architecturally. My dad is a woodworker so I always grew up around that, but didn’t utilize it until a year or two ago,” he says. “I have been able to build custom frames and elements of the piece. This body of work is very 3D and architectural.”

Once the architectural elements are created, he says he looks at the color and design.

“I build from there until it feels right and balanced,” Crawford says. “There’s a lot of adding and subtracting, but I am enjoy-

ing that more experimental process where I can play around and have fun. It makes a more joyful process. I don’t think I’ve ever had more fun making pieces than I have making pieces for this body of work and Open Studios.

“I’ve only really just begun dipping my toes in the water of MAC and the community that [it has] brought together is amazing,” he adds. “The way that they have supported us and make resources available, and the crowd that they draw in is so vital for us in Greenville. They provide opportunities that no one else can provide.”

Jeffrey Leder

“

S T O RY B Y S A R A P E A R C E

My artwork is about myself finding a level of peace that I never had before. I try to flow with life and not be so judgmental of myself and others; I try to flow rather than to fight life. And I want my art to express that.”

Photo by Will Crooks

Jeffrey Leder has lived in New York City and Puerto Rico, taught at New York University, beat cancer, lived through the events and aftermath of the 9/11 attacks from only a few blocks away, and owned his own advertising firm, among other things.

Through the many challenges and triumphs in his life, he says he has always found peace through his art.

Art has played a role in Leder’s life for most of his 72 years. In his 20s he was an exhibiting artist, until he went back to school to pursue his master’s degree in visual communications. After doing so, he worked for CBS for a number of years and eventually opened his own marketing firm in New York City, which drew on his creative nature and business savvy. This was Leder’s calling for about 35 years; at the company’s peak, he employed over 30 people. The period still plays an incredibly important role in the way that he says he views the intersection of art and business.

“I have done a lot of studying and work on myself over the past 35 years,” he said. “I had a difficult childhood and I was angry about it and needed to move forward. That anger propelled me to be very successful but also held me back personally. I was sarcastic and difficult to be with; there was a time when I don’t know why anyone would put up with me, but thankfully some people did.

“Now there is a peacefulness in me that is conveyed through my work,” Leder says. “Color is essential in my

work. I start with sketches, and I try to let it be subconscious and not think about it too much. I then start with one color. I don’t think of the color scale or anything, I just look around and look at what I think would be nice together.”

His process is as complex as it is simple and straightforward. Leder uses his unique eye for fine art as well as design to create his colorful, geometric pieces.

When Leder decided to move to Greenville, the art scene in the West Village was one of the first things he experienced, through the Metropolitan Art Council’s First Friday series. After being in Greenville for two years, he says he looks forward to participating in an event that opens a dialogue.

“My greatest interest is engaging with people who come to my studio,” Leder says, “and walking through the process of how I work and getting to communicate with them so that they can understand what I’m about and how that is conveyed in my artwork.

“My artwork is about myself finding a level of peace that I never had before.

I try to flow with life and not be so judgmental of myself and others; I try to flow rather than to fight life. And I want my art to express that.”

Gregg Tully, executive director of PASA, spoke with the Greenville Journal about some of the threats facing primate populations in Africa and how his organization is helping to address them.

The following transcript has been edited for brevity and clarity.

Q&A WITH GREGG TULLY THE JOURNAL How does PASA help with primate conservation?

GREGG TULLY There are a lot of small-to-medium-sized nonprofits throughout Africa

that are working to rescue and rehabilitate primates. But a lot of them are struggling in isolation. PASA fills that gap by connecting these organizations to one another. We host a conference every year for our members so that they can meet and discuss the challenges they’re facing. We also have a wide range of programs that help them build their capacity.

THE JOURNAL Which threats do you consider most dangerous to African primates?

GREGG TULLY I believe widespread hunting is now the biggest threat. It started out as

sustainable hunting a couple of decades ago. But as humans populations have grown and habitats have decreased, it’s now far from sustainable.

It’s a big business now. In many cases, it’s not people hunting to feed their families. They instead hunt animals and sell them to meat markets. This industry is widespread throughout much of Africa. But sadly, not enough people know about it in America. Habitat loss is also still a huge issue.

That includes mining projects, logging projects, and also people who are illegally converting protected forests into farmland. There is also the illegal wildlife trade. Someone can smuggle a great ape out of Africa and send them to the Middle East where they’re added to someone’s private animal collection or China where they often end up in zoos with no standards or accreditation. They can go for more than $10,000.

THE JOURNAL How are PASA members addressing these threats?

GREGG TULLY Our members play a critical role in law enforcement. We’ve found in

countries that don’t have wildlife sanctuaries that police don’t want to arrest someone who is smuggling a baby chimpanzee. They don’t know what to do with the chimpanzee. It’s a lot easier for them to take a bribe and look the other way. Our sanctuaries make it possible for law enforcement officials to arrest smugglers, because they are capable of providing long-term care for these primates. They also help through the education and community development work they do. It’s really crucial for changing people’s attitudes and behaviors regarding hunting and eating bushmeat.

Our members generally target communities that are located in or near primate habitat. It’s not something that produces immediate results but it can produce a widespread impact over time by teaching kids to be more compassionate to animals.

THE JOURNAL How many primates have been rescued and rehabilitated by PASA wildlife centers?

GREGG TULLY PASA member organizations rescued 174 primates last year. Most of the

primates were victims of the illegal wildlife trade or orphans of the bushmeat trade.

THE JOURNAL What are some simple – but perhaps overlooked – ways in which everyday people can help with primate conservation?

GREGG TULLY There are countless ways that people all around the world — including

those in Greenville — can help to protect primates from extinction. One of them is by donating to charities that are working to protect primates.

It also helps to raise awareness, so sharing posts on Facebook and other social media platforms is really helpful. Social media makes it easier than ever before to inform friends and family of these issues. PASA also has an online petition on our website about the bushmeat crisis that people can sign. That’s an easy way to make an impact. We also encourage people to visit zoos, because they usually donate a portion of the admission fees to wildlife organizations.

Duke Energy proposes $10.4M electric vehicle program in South Carolina Charlotte-based Duke Energy Corp. recently announced plans to launch a pilot program to increase electric-vehicle charging options across South Carolina.

The pilot, if approved by the state Public Service Commission, would cost an estimated $10.4 million over three years and include four programs designed to research the effects of increasing adoption of electric transportation on Duke’s electric system, the behavior of customers, and the potential financial and environmental benefits to the state, according to a news release.

Jay STINKS at Tennis.

The first program would provide a rebate and ongoing quarterly participation payments for up to 400 residential customers installing qualifying Level II charging equipment in exchange for utility management of home charging during defined hours, according to the release.

Other programs would facilitate the replacement of older diesel school buses with 30 electric buses, provide financial support to eligible transit-agency customers electing to procure electric buses for up to 30 charging stations, and establish a network of up to 30 DC fastcharging installations across South Carolina, according to the release.

Alta Planning & Design is studying potential routes for the Laurel Creek pedestrian and bike trail and will present trail-alignment and road-crossing recommendations at a Nov. 1 public meeting at ECPI University at 1001 Keys Drive. The meeting will be held in ECPI’s library meeting space. The consultants will also have cost estimates and phasing suggestions for the project, said Edward Kinney, the city’s senior landscape architect.

If constructed, the trail, which would be just less than one mile long, could give residents of the apartment complexes near Haywood Mall and the Fluor campus access to the Swamp Rabbit Trail all the way to Travelers Rest.

Greenville’s 2012 bike master plan proposed on-street bike lanes linking Laurens Road to Haywood Mall but city officials have said that is not feasible because of traffic and the existing engineering of Haywood Road.

Kinney told members of the Greenville City Council Committee on Planning and Neighborhoods that the city has $851,500 for construction in its trails and greenways account.

The trail would start near the Haywood Mall and end up on Airport Road, Kinney said.

The consultants have recommended getting rid of the middle turn lane on Old Airport Road, keeping the 12-foot travel lanes and creating a 10-foot path for bicyclists and pedestrians, Kinney said.

On city-owned Timmons Drive, the 12foot lanes could be reduced to 11 feet wide and a 10-foot bike-pedestrian lane created, Kinney said. From there, the trail would access the creek, he said.

One issue to be solved is how the trail would cross Transit Drive and Halton Road.

Transit Drive has a grade difference, Kinney said. Solutions to that could include raising the profile of the street, adding on-street stopping and warning signals for an at-grade crossing, or add a box culvert to preserve separation of bikes and vehicles.

“We need to consider all crossings like riv-

ers — and go over or under but not through,” said Councilwoman Amy Ryberg Doyle.

From there, the trail would go south along the creek bed. One difficulty along Halton Road is there is a flat severe curve that limits sight lines, Kinney said. A solution is to clear out some trees, he said.

Finally, another question is where the trail would approach the Swamp Rabbit Trail.

Two alternatives are going behind Goodwill Industries or going through the Saskatoon property, Kinney said.

Kinney said he doesn’t think the Laurel Creek Trail can be completed with the money remaining in the trails fund and may have to be built in phases.

County council has also been addressing Greenlink’s low operational budget in its meetings. The county provides $451,223 per year to its operations, while the city provides $599,098 plus $480,000 in contributed management services and $260,021 in hospitality tax money for trolleys.

City council approved spending $1 million to neighborhood investment, which White said will go toward improved planning and infrastructure, including neighborhood and commercial corridors, facade improvements, sidewalks, and traffic light controls.

White said the city manager will be asked to make a plan proposal to the council in the near future, and the investment could help with an existing plan to improve the Wade Hampton Boulevard corridor.

“In our normal budget, we’ve boosted funding for all the neighborhood projects for about the third year in a row, which is about $1 million for sidewalks, road repaving, trails, and things like that. So it’s supplemental to that,” White said.

The council also approved $1.4 million as a local match to federal funds garnered for the Greenville Transit Authority facility.

White said after the allocations, there is still money left in the reserves in case of emergencies.

“The reason we’re doing all of this is a response to growth and to better manage growth in the city,” White said.

The city will take a final vote on the surplus allocations on Nov. 12.

Why we’re voting ‘Yes on Amendment 1

By Jim DeMint and Ellen Weaver

On Nov. 6, South Carolina voters will be asked to vote on one of the most important reform initiatives they may never have heard of: whether to appoint or elect South Carolina’s superintendent of education.

Amendment 1 on this year’s ballot could determine not just the course of South Carolina public education — but the fate of other key reform measures — for decades to come.

A “yes” vote would require the superintendent of education to be appointed by the governor with the consent of the Senate. A “no” vote would maintain the current method of electing a superintendent of education.

Why is our superintendent of education elected? It dates back to “Pitchfork Ben” Tillman’s 1895 Constitution that diffused the executive branch’s authority, primarily out of fear that an African-American might become governor. This led to much power being given not only to the Legislature, but to other elected, executive branch officials who in theory could check the governor’s power.

We have made progress over the last decade in reforming this antiquated — not to mention ineffective — form of government.

Which brings us back to Amendment 1 and three key reasons it matters.

a recent interview, she shared: “When I decided to run, I checked the Constitution to make sure I was qualified, and it turns out everybody is.”

This year, the General Assembly successfully passed a law that would require any future appointed superintendents to have at least a master’s degree and “substantive and broad-based experience” in public education or operational and financial management in a field like finance, economics, accounting, law, or business.

Our “yes” vote on Amendment 1 is a vote to make the key question of the superintendent’s “job interview” what he knows about education and fixing complicated systems, not how good a politician he is or how much money he can raise.

COLLABORATION

RESPONSIBILITY

Governors are important ambassadors for our state, working to recruit new businesses and address the needs of existing jobcreators.

Our “yes” vote on Amendment 1 is a vote to more fully integrate effective education policy into the larger conversations driving economic development in our state.

Our diffuse system of education accountability just isn’t working for far too many of our children. It will take an innovative education leader — backed by a courageous governor with a bold vision — to make the decisions necessary to face down our education challenges.

A superintendent of education appointed by the governor — and approved by the Senate — will provide clearer lines of responsibility, essential experience, and better collaboration in our journey to give every student in our state the opportunity to reach their full potential.

That’s why we’re voting “yes” on Amendment 1.

EXPERIENCE

Jim DeMint is a former U.S. senator from South Carolina and the founding chairman of Palmetto Promise Institute.

Who is ultimately responsible for South Carolina’s lagging K-12 education system (not to mention nearly one quarter of the state’s annual general fund budget)?

The state superintendent? The governor?

The General Assembly? The state Board of Education? The Education Oversight Committee? Local school boards? The list goes on, as does the endless circle of fingerpointing.

Our “yes” vote on Amendment 1 is a vote to begin to streamline South Carolina’s tangled structure of education governance, which will make it more — not less — accountable to voters.

Our current state superintendent of education supports Amendment 1. While her resume as an educator certainly speaks to her personal qualifications for the role, in

Ellen Weaver is president and CEO of Palmetto Promise Institute.

RUDOLF ANDERSON (1927-1962) Maj. Rudolf Anderson, a 1944 graduate of Greenville High School, went on to graduate from Clemson University as a member of Air Force ROTC Detachment 770 in 1948. Commissioned as a second lieutenant, he completed primary and advanced pilot training and received his Air Force aeronautical rating as a pilot. He earned two Distinguished Flying Crosses for reconnaissance missions during the Korean War. After qualifying on the U-2 in 1957, he became the 4080th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing’s top U-2 pilot with over 1,000 hours, making him a vital part of the United States’ reconnaissance operation over Cuba in late October 1962. Anderson, who died when his U-2 aircraft was shot down, was the only person killed by enemy fire during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

KRIS BURTON Kris Bruton was raised in Greer by his grandmother, who instilled in him an impeccable work ethic. He graduated from Greer High School in 1989 and attended Benedict College. While at Benedict, he so impressed the men’s head basketball coach during a pickup game that he was recruited and offered an athletic scholarship. Bruton’s basketball career soared as he earned National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics First Team All-America honors and won the 1994 Slam Dunk Contest as a college senior.

He was drafted by the Chicago Bulls in 1994, but his NBA career was derailed by injuries. After playing basketball overseas, he signed a contract with the world-renowned Harlem Globetrotters. Bruton, aka HiLite, is playing in his 17th season with the Globetrotters in a career that has taken him to dozens of countries.

MATTHEW CORDELL Mathew Cordell, a 1993 graduate of Hillcrest High School, is an author and illustrator of children’s books. While at Hillcrest, Cordell won the school’s Art Student of the Year Award and Gold Key Scholastic Art Award. Cordell studied graphic design at Winthrop University and later moved to Chicago to pursue his passion, graphic design and the fine arts. Soon, his paintings and drawings were being shown in galleries throughout the Windy City. Cordell is the 2018 Caldecott Medalwinning author and illustrator of “Wolf and the Snow,” which also received a 2018 Boston GlobeHorn Book Honor Award. He is the illustrator of numerous highly acclaimed children’s books, and he speaks to students at schools across the nation about the joy of writing and drawing.

Gourd & Pumpkin Planters

by

Using gourds and pumpkins Martin as planting containers is a unique and creative way to Garden decorate for the fall season Center or Thanksgiving. Sedums and stonecrop make great choices for plants because they will provide interest throughout the fall and will not need much watering. You can also use colorful pansies, violas or mums to liven up your display but they will require closer attention.

Let’s get started:

1

2 3 4 5

Use a sharp knife to cut a hole in the top of your pumpkin or gourd.

Make the opening large enough to allow for digging and planting.

Use a trowel or spoon to scoop out the innards of the pumpkin including seeds.

Fill the hollow pumpkin with high quality potting soil and include a fertilizer like Garden Cote™.

Choose your plants and place them in the soil covering them so the top of the plant is level with the top of the soil allowing about an inch for watering.

Water sparingly.

Enjoy your festive, colorful, living pumpkin and gourd planters! You’ll be the envy of the neighborhood.

Happy carving!

Tips & Tricks

• When choosing your pumpkin or

gourd, remember that a round fat shape with a flat bottom is easier than a tall, skinny one.

• Once the pumpkin begins to fade,

plant your pumpkin planter in the ground and let the rotting pumpkin provide natural fertilizer to the young plants in your garden.

• Use a plant shine product like Green Glo™ to put a sheen on the outside and bring out the pumpkin’s natural color.

SAT scores rise slightly in SC, surpass national average ARIEL GILREATH | STAFF

agilreath@communityjournals.com

South Carolina outperformed the national average on the SAT and Advanced Placement tests for 2018, with its average SAT score jumping six points from the previous year.

The format of the SAT changed in 2016 from a 2,400-point scale to a 1,600-point scale.

The national average for the SAT in public schools this year was 1049 and 1068 overall. In South Carolina the average for public schools was 1064 and 1070 overall.

The scores paint a different picture of South Carolina’s ranking in education compared with results on this year’s ACT tests, which dropped on average in every subject area.

On the ACT, South Carolina scores ranked among the bottom in the nation, with only Nevada performing worse on the test.

The results on the ACT come from a graduating class that was required to take the test, whereas the SAT was optional.

Results on both tests for historically underserved groups in South Carolina remained low. Only 2 percent of black students met the college-readiness benchmark for all four subject areas on the ACT test.

Half of all black students taking the SAT met neither the math nor the evidence-based reading and writ-

ing benchmarks, and only 17 percent met both.

To meet both benchmarks on the SAT, a student would need a score of 1010 or higher. The average score for black students in the state was 938.

In a statement, the South Carolina Department of Education praised the high number of black testtakers this year compared with the nation. Black students accounted for 26 percent of SAT test-takers in public schools this year, compared with the national participation rate of 13 percent.

State Superintendent Molly Spearman made note of the different standardized test results in a statement.

“These results illustrate the importance of an education system that is based off multiple measures,” she said. “While there is still work to be done in other areas, the data from these two rigorous national assessments prove that South Carolina students can surpass their peers nationally and that our schools are moving in the right direction.”

The in-state colleges with the most scores received from students were: University of South Carolina (9,648), Clemson University (7,712), College of Charleston (5,281), Coastal Carolina University (3,688), and Winthrop University (3,188).

For AP tests, more South Carolina students earned a score of 3 or higher than the national average number of students in every subject area except European history and statistics.

Furman expands minority scholarship as part of report’s recommendations ARIEL GILREATH | STAFF

agilreath@communityjournals.com

Furman University’s newest initiative — to acknowledge the role of slavery and racism in its history — shines a tarnished light on some of Felicia Furman’s ancestors.

But it’s a light Felicia Furman has been shining for years.

“Slavery has been in my family since before the Revolutionary War,” Felicia Furman said.

“It’s very much a white story.”

Furman University announced Monday it will increase its Joseph A. Vaughn Scholarship for African American students from $164,000 in endowment funds to $1 million in total annual awards. The university added $3 million in endowment funds to ensure its continuation. Joseph A. Vaughn was the first black student to attend the university in 1965.

The decision comes after the school’s Task Force on Slavery and Justice released a report this summer on the university’s use of slaves through its early leadership. The report gave 19 recommendations intended to “reckon with the past, repair the harm, and create increasing justice in each generation.”

The report highlights a moral defense of slavery written by Richard Furman, the university’s namesake, in 1823, along with the pro-slavery ideology of his son, James C. Furman, who was also the school’s first president.

Elizabeth Davis, president of Furman University, said expanding the Joseph Vaughn Scholarship was a recommendation the administration could immediately act on without board approval, although the board of trustees endorsed the decision.

The need-based scholarship has been around since 1999 and is directed at African American students from near one of the four communities Furman’s campus has been lo-

cated historically — Edgefield, High Hills of Santee, Winnsboro, and Greenville. Only 16 students have received the scholarship so far, and the increased amount will be available to serve more students starting in fall of 2019.

Alec Taylor, chairman of Furman’s board, said the board has formed a special committee to look at all of the recommendations from the report that would require board approval, such as monuments and name changes.

“The process will be deliberate, it will be thoughtful, and it will be transparent,” Taylor said.

The committee is set to report to the board in May its conclusions on the recommendations.

For Felicia Furman, a direct descendant of Richard and James C. Furman, this atonement has been a long time coming.

“We don’t know how many people were enslaved here, but I think they will eventually find that in historic record. They are a group of human beings who made this university possible,” Felicia Furman said.

Felicia Furman is a member of Coming to the Table, a Virginia-based nonprofit that takes its name from Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech: “I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia sons of former slaves and sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.”

The organization’s initial goal was to bring descendants of slave-owners together with descendants of those slaves. Now, its focus is primarily on racial healing through community discussions.

Felicia Furman attended the scholarship announcement at Furman on Monday, as did Mark Rumph, who is a descendant of slaves who worked under Felicia Furman’s maternal ancestors.

Joseph Vaughn, Furman University’s first black student, walks on campus in 1965. Photo provided.

Felicia Furman made a documentary that aired on PBS more than a decade ago called “Shared History” about her maternal ancestors and their slaves “I feel shame about my ancestors’ connection to slavery,” Furman said. “But through an organization called ‘Coming to the Table,’ I have learned to make that shame work towards equality for all.”

Felicia Furman said she’s received some pushback, but she’s glad Furman has decided

to acknowledge its past.

“It’s true that the truth shall set you free, and without the kind of research that Furman scholars have done — revealing the connection to slavery — we would continue in this darkness of simply always having slavery in the background,” Felicia Furman said. “Now it’s in the forefront. We know it happened.

We’re looking for people who it affected, and they’re taking actual steps to address the harm that was done.”

Tigerville Elementary wins National Blue Ribbon Award

MINERALS FOSSILS JEWELRY DECOR

Five South Carolina schools were recently recognized as National Blue Ribbon Schools for 2018 by U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos. Tigerville Elementary in Taylors was among those five schools, making it the 15th school in the district to win National Blue Ribbon status. The honor is based on overall academic performance or progress in closing achievement gaps among student subgroups.

“Tigerville Elementary is proof that students in rural schools can produce outstanding academic results,” superintendent Burke Royster said in a news release. “It is also evidence of the important role community partners such as the Cliffs Residents Outreach can play in a school’s success. I want to extend my congratulations to principal Diane Jackson, her administrative staff, outstanding teachers, and the school’s hard-working students, and supportive families for receiving this national recognition. We are incredibly proud of their accomplishments.”

Rachel was full of life and known by her God-given smile. She was a great lover of people and pursuer of relationships; the type to enter in. Rachel loved music and she loved to dance. She also loved softball, but her true joy came from the relationships she cherished with the girls she coached. Known as Auntie Rachel to her family, they were her greatest earthly joy. Rachel knew Jesus and that defined her life. She played softball at Travelers Rest High School and North Greenville University. She was most recently serving as Assistant Softball Coach at Union University in Tennessee.

Daughter of Bob and Sharon Glazebrook; survived by her brother Stephan Glazebrook (Caroline), sisters

Mara Traynham (Pelham), Norie Mueller (Charlie), grandparents Jack Smith (Nancy), Bob and Neoma Glazebrook, nieces Eliza, Eleanor, Zella, Emma Jean, Maisy Grace, and Lucy Ruth, nephews Ansel, Flynt, Amos, Zane, and Arthur, and her cat Ivy. Rachel joins her grandmother, Lou Ann Smith, in glory.

We are separated by death, but held together in Christ.

Services will be held at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on Sunday, November 4. The family will receive friends from 1:30-3:30, and a Celebration of Life will follow at 4:00.

Memorial donations may be made to New City Fellowship (newcityorangeburg.

Harriett Shannon Victor 63, went to be with her Lord October 23, 2018. On December 30, 1954, she was born to Robert and Mildred Victor (now deceased) and raised in Greenville, SC. She was a 1973 graduate of Parker High School. She also studied at Greenville Technical College.

After graduating from Greenville Tec, Harriett was a paralegal in Greenville, Charleston and Columbia.

Upon the birth of her daughter, Shannon, the family moved to Spartanburg.

Harriett re-entered the work field when her daughter started kindergarten, and was the Director of Montessori West, Spartanburg, SC, at the time of her death.

Although Harriett had no siblings, she had many “sister friends”.

Nora and Mike Bishop opened their hearts to Harriett many years ago, and

Besides her many friends, she leaves behind the loves of her life, Shannon (Jesse) Simpson, grandson Toby Ryan Simpson, and fiancé, James Woolery.

Visitation and services were held October 27 at Hope Church in Spartanburg.

This Week

Harvest Day

Colonial Milling embraces an unhurried life at its antebellum grange words by Beth Brown Ables | photo by Jessica Barley It’s a golden Southern morning and blessedly cool as Jon Stauffer heads out early to survey his cornfields. The kernels he planted in the rainy spring are now dry stalks, their husked kernels burnished, indented, and dry.

His wife, Michelle, busies herself inside, baking buttermilk biscuits in cast iron pans and stirring a pot of buttery grits. There are apples to slice and plates to set, because after the morning’s work everyone is going to be hungry.

Their son Grant checks on his flock of chickens and gathers fresh eggs. Meanwhile, friends are on the way over to help with the many chores involved to process the crop and prepare it for milling. It’s harvest day.

This may read like idyllic family farm life from the 18th century, but the Stauffers are first-generation farmers working land purchased just five years ago.

Since 2015, their family business, Colonial Milling, has grown and milled heritage non-GMO corn in Pauline.

“We’ve realized that living and eating this way, simply and with the freshest ingredients, just tastes better,” Michelle Stauffer says, unsealing a jar of homemade strawberry jam.

Theirs is a history unfolding. Jon and Michelle met in high school, and their roots in the Spartanburg community run deep. After a summer job cutting hay when he was 16, Jon knew he had found his calling. So after years of funneling his love of the outdoors into a landscaping business, farming beckoned in earnest. When the couple began searching for land, a listing for an antebellum home from the 1790s on 25 acres felt as if it had been handed to them from across the centuries.

The farmhouse echos with history: Handmade bricks on the chimney are etched with dates, names, and thumbprints; hand-hewn logs hide under the plaster in the front room; and the kitchen connects to the main house by a narrow hallway. While playing outside, Grant often comes across arrowheads, hand-forged nails, and once, even a rusted bayonet.

“It’s a work in progress, that’s for sure,” Jon says as he surveys their recent renovation project: resetting and plastering the brick pillars on a wide back porch.

His eyes pass over the field of corn banking a creek,

across free-ranging chickens, the mill house, and the vast kitchen garden, and he smiles. “We wouldn’t have it any other way,” he says.

Jon’s farming technique is at once age-old and new utilizing cover crops and companion planting to create bionutrient-rich soil essential to cultivate an heirloom crop.

Both varieties of corn they grow, Hawkins Prolific and Hickory King, require careful tending in order to produce flavorful kernels ready to mill. From seed to field to table is a careful journey, one that requires faithful dedication.

After harvest, the corn is ground onsite using a circa1930s grain mill fitted with a pink granite stone before it is sifted into cornmeal, grits, and polenta.

The resulting product is delicious — sweet, golden, and possessing a depth of flavor absent in commercial products — which is why local-centric restaurants such as The Kennedy (opened by William Cribb, a 2017 South Carolina chef ambassador) clamber to feature Colonial Milling’s products on their menus. They are telling the same story really, of what can be produced by the land: good, simple food. It’s a story that requires work, but with the help of friends and food these chores are transformed into something more with children, chickens, kittens, and a dog lending an air of celebration to this harvest morning.

It is a way of life ripe for community.

“We love having people over, and it seems like all of our friends are good cooks and love sharing meals.”

Because most of them have small children, easy gatherings make the most sense.

Harvest may not be your particular excuse to gather.

Instead maybe it’s the first chilly morning of the season or celebrating friends in town or an impromptu neighborhood get-together. Michelle says she favors recipes that come together quickly, creating a comforting and delicious fall brunch.

The Stauffers live by the sentiment “make a life you love,” words that reflect in a home and a business brimming with simple pleasures: a morning’s work, friends around the table, and a perfect bowl of grits. Good for centuries before, and centuries to come.

You can make it Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe provided by Michelle Stauffer & Beth Brown Ables

For light and flaky biscuits, use cold ingredients — even frozen butter. A second tip: Don’t handle the dough too much.

2 cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder ¼ teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon kosher salt 6 tablespoons frozen butter 1 cup cold buttermilk Preheat cast-iron skillet in 450 F oven. In a large bowl, mix all dry ingredients together.

Grate butter — use a box grater — directly into the flour mixture and stir well. Add buttermilk to the flour mixture and stir only until liquid milk has absorbed; the dough will still be crumbly.

Pour dough on a lightly floured surface. Using fingertips, form dough into a rectangle. Fold the dough in half, then lightly press the dough again into another rectangle. Repeat this process five times. This process ensures a flaky, layered biscuit. Cut biscuits and place them into the cast-iron skillet. Bake 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

MASTERS IN THE HOUSE

5 REASONS

Divine architecture by three artisans of the craft words by Lynn Greenlaw How would you define “home?”

Ask 10 people and you’ll get 10 different answers. To provide some insight, we turned to three nationally recognized and respected architects to see how they would answer the question. We’ll look to three books of their work that speak not only in words, but also in gorgeous photographic examples of their style and expertise in creating home.

Having designed homes in the area, these three craftsmen share a connection to the Upstate, and we’ve had the privilege of featuring them in past issues of atHome magazine.

‘The Home Within Us: Romantic Houses, Evocative Rooms’

ed with his desire to “live my lessons.”

Among the others is a Mediterraneanrevival house with factory-sash windows and classical Roman columns, a beach house with a vaulted hallway leading to a light-filled contemporary salon, a Cape Dutch design with steep Flemish gables and apothecary windows, and a Georgian revival with a conservatory-like salon.

There is a romantic approach to the creation of a McAlpine home: His main goal is to design a home that provides “physical evidence of a state of mind of well-being.”

This is the first book of his designs. A second book was published last year: “Poetry of Place: The New Architecture and Interiors of McAlpine.”

‘Creating Home: Design for Living’

By Keith Summerour; Rizzoli, New York; $50.

our first walks the property noting the topography, sun and wind direction, the views, and the existing flora.

He also works closely with his clients to get a feel for how they will live in the house and adjusts the design to meet the owners’ needs rather than using a “onesize-fits-all” approach.

An Italianate villa with a Santa Fe flair, a South Carolina Lowcountry classic with a modern sensibility, and Summerour’s own rural Georgia retreat home — a truly inimitable “shot” tower — round out the third section of this engaging book.

‘Frank Lloyd Wright: American Master’

By Kathryn Smith; Rizzoli, New York; $30.

LEAVES

When yard waste is placed on the curb, it often travels - clogging stormdrains and polluting waterways. Here are five other reasons to leave ‘em be:

1.Free fertilizer & mulch!

Leaves are a natural mulch that suppress weeds and add nutrients to your soil. You can let them stay where they fall, or move them to a compost pile for later use.

2.Pollinators love ‘em!

Many species, including beneficial insects like pollinators, rely on fallen leaves for shelter and food during fall and winter months.

New York; $32.

Drawing his first floor plan at the age of 5, Bobby McAlpine was destined to become an architect. His firm, McAlpine, with offices in Montgomery, Alabama; New York; Atlanta; and Nashville, Tennessee, has evolved to not only designing homes but also the furnishings within them. The firm creates homes that are “romantic historicism blended with modern refinements.”

McAlpine’s structures are often evocative of his strong reverence for English design, particularly that of Sir Edwin Lutyens. Lutyens’ design for his mother-in-law’s home inspired McAlpine’s own home design.

This book is divided into four sections and features photographs of more than 20 homes and structures, both exterior and interior. McAlpine’s home is the first that is featured and takes us through the evolution of changes as he experiment-

NOT

Keith Summerour, raised in Alabama and now headquartered in Atlanta, has been perfecting architecture since 1991. His thoughts on what one should feel when entering a house can be summed up in two words: expectancy and excitement. Looking through this book will provide you with both.

The book is divided into three sections — Respect for Tradition, Rustic Retreats, and Authenticity — and features nine homes.

The first section interweaves history and modernity with photos of a 1922 traditional restoration project, a 4,000-square-foot new build with Arts and Crafts detailing, and an unassuming English cottage-style home.

The second section features two homes on property abutting Blackberry Farm in Tennessee and a 10,000-square-foot, two-story, one-room-deep home on a North Carolina mountaintop. To conceptualize each home’s design, Summer-

The title says it all.

You can’t talk about home design and omit Frank Lloyd Wright. It would be sacrilege.

Wright (1867-1959) was an architect, interior designer, writer, and educator who drew upon his philosophy of “organic architecture” and created structures that were in harmony with the needs of people and the environment.

By the time of his death, he was eulogized as one of the greatest architects who ever lived. Several of the homes he designed that are no longer occupied have been preserved and are open for tours. Included is his Phoenix, Arizona, home and studio, Taliesin West.

The book is divided into sections that lead you through the periods of Wright’s evolution of architectural style. They are Deconstructing History, 1886-1901; Abstracting Nature, 1902-1917; Materials as Metaphors, 1918-1936; Building Usonia, 1937-1959; and Leaving a Legacy, 1948-1959.

There is a bit of text before each section, but the abundance of pages contain what we really want to see: photos of the houses and their interiors. Some of Wright’s iconic buildings are also included and stand out for their unique, timeless qualities.

3.Reduce waste!

Yard waste accounts for nearly 17% of our solid waste stream. Why not reduce the load and reuse fallen leaves as compost?

4.It’s not natural!

Raking removes nutrients from your yard that would otherwise feed the soil and make your grass even greener come spring. Nature’s cycle works - why break it?

5.Save time & energy!

Sit back and enjoy the colors of fall. Time is precious - don’t waste it.

nternational Ballet’s 2018-2019 season that kicks off Nov. 17 features a variety of dance styles, ranging from classical ballet to Russian folk dancing, with each production also showcasing the talents of local musicians.

“As a ballet company, our primary focus is showcasing classical dance, so audiences can always expect exceptional ballet, but we always feature something different as well,” said a joint statement from the company leaders.

The season opener is “L’Automne” on Nov. 17. IB began calling their fall mixed repertory/live music event “L’Automne” last year. Previously titled the Fall Chamber Series, the format is a more intimate performance during which the dancers perform in a variety of shorter pieces along with guest musicians, sometimes together and sometimes separately.

The Warehouse Theatre provides the setting for this event that will feature styles including contemporary dance, modern, and a swing-inspired piece by Kimberlee Ferreira.

When planning the program, Vlada Kysselova, the artistic director, selects works that are best suited for the dancers in the company each year. And while the company repertoire is extensive, she is always open to new possibilities. continued on PAGE 30

This year for example, Denis Simon, a guest teacher from Ukraine, worked with the dancers on Russian folk dancing during the summer intensive program.

He set a piece for the summer intensive demonstration that was so enjoyable for the audience to watch that Kysselova added it to the L’Automne program, and executive director Lena Forster found a local accordion player, T.C. Costello, to join the company in presenting it to the public.

The second production of the season, “The Nutcracker” runs Dec. 21-23 at the Peace Center.

This traditional version of the classic holiday ballet features the Greenville Symphony Orchestra accompanying the dance live.

Last year’s guest principals, Adiarys Almeida and Taras Domitro, will return again this year to allow people another chance to see these internationally renowned dancers.

The final production of the season, Cultura, runs April 13-14 at the Peace Center Gunter Theatre.

Gabriel Paluszak International Ballet Photo by Will Crooks Some years, IB’s spring performance is a full-length story ballet, and some years it is a mixed repertory show. This year, Kysselova elected to offer a mixed program similar L’Automne and call the collection Cultura, which means “culture” in several languages. The program will also feature live music.

“We are the International Ballet, and we hope to represent the arts and enhance the culture in a positive way. Naming our program ‘Cultura’ signifies that we hope to mark ourselves in a way that honors the many cultures that have poured into the performing arts, in addition to our efforts to pour into the Greenville culture,” the joint statement said.

‘World Builders’ addresses mental illness with dark, romantic humor MELODY WRIGHT | STAFF

mwright@communityjournals.com

A challenge to the love affair between characters Max and Whitney, two patients suffering from schizoid personality disorder, forms the basis for the Centre Stage Fringe Series’ “World Builders.”

A clinical trial with a new drug presents the two patients with the possibility to escape their schizophrenic dreams and become functioning members of society. But, normalcy may come at the expense of their self-built worlds.

Playing the role of Max, Chris Cashon describes his character as being oblivious to real people and events. Max’s world and the people in it mean everything to him.

“He’s terrified to face reality,” Cashon says. “When the pills begin to work, he develops feelings for another patient, Whitney, struggling to decide whether he wants to keep what he has or give it up for a life that is real.”

Withdrawing from human interaction and showing little emotion, Max struggles with social identity. As an actor, Cashon found these aspects of Max challenging to portray.

“It has been a fascinating challenge to find the right moments to connect with Lena Bledsoe [who plays Whitney] and to live in the moment when playing someone who reacts uniquely to situations that would normally [elicit] a very different emotional response,” he says.

As the pills give Max the ability to feel emotions, he must decide what to do with these new feelings.

“Come to enjoy a very unique and sweet love story,” Cashon says. “Max and Whitney may be different, but they are only different in the eyes of others.

Perception can shift perspective.”

Director Aaron Brakefield says he felt freedom to make unexpected acting choices with the script in “World Builders” due to the nature of the topic.

Labeled as a dark romantic comedy, the production addresses a serious disorder with pieces of humor throughout.

“As with all good theater, I think the audience can expect to think about things they may never have before,” Brakefield says. “The play raises the questions: ‘What is normal?’ and ‘Why do we force perfectly happy people to find what we consider normalcy?’”

Max and Whitney will remind audiences of the power of imagination. Brakefield says little room has been left for pure imagination in a time of tablets and devices that show so much to those who use them.

“Some folks seem Director Aaron Brakefield worried about appearing normal or ab“It’s a bit eye-opening to step back normal when we have full freedom to and look at how much we take advan- create ourselves far above and beyond tage of our ability to connect with oth- such labels,” he says. ers and then try to learn how to do it all Dr. Frank Clark, who specializes in over again,” Cashon says. psychiatry with Greenville Health SysA production about human connec- tem, which sponsors the Fringe Series, tions is important in a time when humans says much stigma continues to exist in are so accessible yet so isolated, he says. our society regarding mental illness.

“Some folks seem worried about appearing normal or abnormal when we have full freedom to create ourselves far above and beyond such labels.”

“Individuals with mental illness desire longevity, prosperity, and happiness just like anyone else,” Clark says.

“We are all human beings with feelings [and] emotions who desire to be validated and accepted.”

Discussing mental health in open settings, as “World Builders” does, helps raise awareness and increase knowledge and understanding of an important issue, according to Clark.

“There are plenty of individuals like Max and Whitney who want to tell their story of adversity, resilience, and hope,” Clark says. “We just have to be willing to listen.”

Clark will be available to answer questions during a post-show period on Nov. 14.

“World Builders” will open the 201819 Fringe Series, which addresses mental health, including depression, schizophrenia, and suicide; substance abuse; sexual abuse; access to health care; and socioeconomics.

The Willis Clan shares message of emotion, honesty with concertgoers VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER

vharris@communityjournals.com

It all seemed so perfectly laid out for The Willis Clan.

This musical family of 10 siblings made a splash in 2014 on the ninth season of “America’s Got Talent,” playing a bluegrass-infused version of the Huey Lewis hit “The Power of Love” that showcased their shiver-inducing vocal harmonies and instrumental talents on flute, upright bass, accordion, and more.

True, they were eliminated in the quarterfinals of the competition, but the story of a 14-member family trying to break through in the music business was too appealing to be ignored for long, and the TLC cable channel came calling in 2015, offering the Willises their own reality show called “The Willis Family.” Over two seasons and 13 episodes, the family struggled with everyday issues, sibling tensions, and big dreams, creating Christian-themed country-pop while trying to balance music with their lives back home.

But TV often offers more-easily solved problems than real life, and as we seem to be finding out more and more these days, things aren’t always as wholesome as they seem on the surface. In September 2016, Toby Willis, the clan’s father, was arrested on four counts of child rape, and even more horrifically, the victims were four of his own daughters. He pleaded guilty and is serving a 40-year prison sentence.

Willis’ oldest daughter, Jessica, was in-

strumental in bringing him to justice, and it’s harder to imagine a worse breach of trust than what these young girls, and the entire family, went through. It’s an unspeakable crime that understandably put music on the back burner while the family tried to heal.

Somehow, though, The Willis Clan found the courage to carry on, and they decided to keep making music. This wouldn’t be the polished, happy-faced music they were making before, though.

They had a message to deliver, and the video for the title track to their new album, “Speak My Mind,” is a stark statement not just about the family’s abuse, but on abuse in general.

As the clip opens, a woman who has been badly beaten tries to repair the damage with makeup in the bathroom mirror.

As Jennifer Willis’ powerful voice works through lyrics like “There’s got to be more courage I can find/ To speak my mind,” the images continue to come: a young girl covering her ears as her father yells at her; a couple arguing relentlessly; and perhaps most disturbingly, a little girl cringing as her father touches her shoulder, angrily brushing his hand away.

But even as these moments seem to drown the video in darkness, The Willis Clan’s vocals are a ray of light, and the clip ultimately finds them standing center stage, drawing strength from one another, and as the song builds and the cameras swirl around the family, they layer their passionate vocals into a crescendo that

11.02.2018 | GREENVILLE JOURNAL | 33

COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM wasn’t until maybe a year after we started writing that we thought these songs could become a project and maybe help other people in their journey. They were just what we were using to process our own story.”

The Willis Clan (minus oldest sister Jessica and some of the younger members of the family) is now touring behind “Speak My Mind,” and they’ll be playing a show at The Spinning Jenny in Greer Friday night.

Jennifer Willis says that performing these intensely personal songs night after night has its rewards and challenges.

“We still get very emotional singing these songs,” she says, “but we believe in the power of the truth and being honest and open, and the encouragement that can give other people. That’s what helps through the hard moments. Honesty can be very scary at times, but we felt it was a message we wanted to share with people.”

brings a sense of hope to the song, as if there is a path forward from the darkness.

That, according to Jennifer Willis, is where the heart of the “Speak My Mind” album lies; not in rage or despair, but hope.

“There might be moments of frustration or anger on this album,” she says.

“That’s part of it, but that’s not the main theme of our story. And that might be surprising to some people. We really feel like hope is the main theme, and we wanted the musical to reflect that.”

She also says that, like the video, The Willis Clan took great care on the album to make the lyrics universal rather than specific about the abuse they suffered.

“It’s sadly something a lot of people can relate to, whether it’s specifically sexual abuse or other forms of abuse,” she says.

“And with this project we wanted to both share our own story but also send a message of hope and maybe inspire others to tell their stories and take control of their lives again.”

It’s something of a miracle that “Speak My Mind” exists at all. Initially, The Willis Clan began writing these songs as a method of dealing with their grief; they never intended to release them.

“We were writing them for ourselves and each other,” Jennifer Willis says. “It

Bela Fleck has spent over 40 years redefining his chosen instrument, the banjo, into something beyond what pioneers like Uncle Dave Macon or Grandpa Jones could ever have imagined.

Sure, players like Earl Scruggs and J.D. Crowe took the instrument beyond the basics of bluegrass in their respective times, but Fleck has blazed trails that no one ever even considered.

Along with musicians like Dobro player Jerry Douglas and mandolin player Sam Bush and a few others, Fleck pushed bluegrass into new territory in the early 1980s either in the aptly named New Grass Revival or on his own periodic solo releases.

Then he dove headlong into jazz with his band the Flecktones, before taking on classical music with his 2001 album “Perpetual Motion.” He’s also explored folk music with his wife, fellow banjo player Abigail

Washburn, and even dipped his toe into jam-oriented rock with an appearance on the Dave Matthews Band’s “Before These Crowded Streets” album.

Along the way, Fleck has become one of the most respected players and composers in any genre of music, as proven by the range of categories his 14 Grammy wins have come in. He’s taken home trophies for best instrumental country performance, best contemporary jazz album, best classical crossover album, best folk album, and even best contemporary world music album.

That is a broad resume, which Fleck himself acknowledges.

“Perhaps it’s a short attention span issue?” he muses. “I certainly see myself as a lifelong student of music, and I love to put myself in situations where I can learn a lot and need to rise to the occasion. I started wanting to learn about classical music simply because I was looking for the next step in complexity after learning the bluegrass fiddle tunes and instrumentals. I found that

11.02.2018 | GREENVILLE JOURNAL | 35

COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM in Bach and Paganini and, really, all over the place in classical music.”

Fleck also credits his instrument for being an unusually flexible one.

“The banjo has a lot of potential to fit and bridge between different worlds,” he says, “and it’s a privilege to get to spend my life exploring music.”

Fleck is doing a lot of that exploring in his current group, which includes equally exploratory bassist Edgar Meyer and tabla player Zakir Hussain. Back in 1998, Fleck, Meyer, and Hussein, accompanied by conductor Leonard Slatkin and the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, created an album called “The Melody of Rhythm,” a dazzling synthesis of classic, world, jazz, and bluegrass music.

The trio haven’t recorded together since, but they’ve recently reunited for a tour that will bring them to the Peace Center on Nov. 6, accompanied by Rakesh Chaurasia on the bansuri, a side-blown flute that originated in India. And perhaps the most exciting news for fans of Fleck, or just of adventurous music in general, is that the ensemble will be playing new material.

“We have a repertoire that we have played for some time, and we’ll use that to start,” Fleck says. “But we brought in a pile of new music to pour into the mix during rehearsal. We’re really excited about devel-

oping that new material on this tour.”

Fleck says that he reunited with this group and added Chaurasia for a couple of simple reasons.

“We’re like family,” he says, “and were missing the time together. And we also felt that we hadn’t fully exploited the possibilities of this unique ensemble.”

But it’s not just a sentimental connection; Fleck feels challenged by these three other players. “Edgar, Zakir, and Rakesh all possess knowledge that I do not,” he says.

“And I’m inspired and have to be at my best to keep up. Hopefully I bring some things that push them, as well. So it is a spirited conversation among friends from different nations, with some common and some uncommon knowledge. It’s very interesting.”

So does this mean, with new material being worked out onstage, that we can expect, or at least hope for, a new FleckMeyer-Hussain album?

“We’re gonna try!” Fleck says.

aul’s Pick of the Week: The Reedy Reels Film Festival, Saturday-Sunday at the Peace Center’s Gunter Theatre.

Why you should go: It’s a unique opportunity to see a wide array of films, with an emphasis on movies by South Carolina filmmakers. Forty-six films will be screened over two days at the fourth annual festival.

Variety is the spice: The films range from full-length feature films, animation, student films, documentaries and music videos. Dozens of short films — something you never see at a commercial cinema — will be presented. The shortest film is just over 1 minute; the longest feature film is about an hour and a half. Almost half of the films were made in Upstate South Carolina.

Creators on hand: Directors and other creative personnel will be on hand to discuss their work after the screenings.

“What makes a festival different from seeing a movie at a regular movie theater is that we actually bring the filmmakers, the actors, actresses and the crew to the festival,” said Matt Foster, executive director of the festival.

Film fans are invited to see as few or as many movies as they like. Tickets for twohour blocks are $12. Tickets are available also for day passes ($30) or full festival passes ($50).

“This is a wonderful opportunity to see some great films, meet some interesting filmmakers, network with a creative group of folks and to have to some fun in downtown Greenville,” said Ken Seay, chief financial officer of the festival.

Beer, wine, soft drinks, popcorn and candy will be available at the screenings.

An opening night party takes place at 7:30 p.m. Friday at The Venue at Falls Park, 631 S. Main St. Tickets are $75.

A growing festival: Greenville has a world-class arts community that encompasses theater, dance and music. Four years ago, the Reedy Reels Film Festival tossed down the gauntlet: Would the community embrace a film festival?

The answer seems to be an unequivocal yes.

In its first year, the festival sold 250 tickets; in its second, 600 tickets; in its third, 1,200.

“Every year it gets bigger and better,” Seay said.

Some highlights: At 1:30 p.m. Saturday, the festival will screen the documentary “Dirt McComber: The Last of the Mohicans,” about a rugged Canadian man who makes his

living off the land. He’ll attend the festival.

“He’s a cross between ‘Crocodile Dundee’ and ‘Duck Dynasty,’” Seay said. “He makes his living hunting and fishing, and his makes lacrosse rackets out of the animal products.”

One of the most popular screenings every year is the 9 p.m. Saturday group of films, all made in South Carolina.

At 6:30 p.m. Sunday, the festival offers the world premiere of “37 Ghosts” by local filmmaker Collins White. The story centers on a hit man who is visited by his ghostly victims.

In that same block of movies is “Harvest Season,” filmed locally, about a man who questions his values after his wife is stricken with cancer. The 46 films being screened were culled from about 100 entries.

“We’ve actually seen films made, thanks to the connections that have been made through the festival.”

Matt Foster, executive director of the festival

“We want the highest-quality content, but we also want a broad range of content,” said Mike Giordano, operations manager for the festival. “We want a balance, for instance, of drama and comedies.

Prizes for the best: The festival awards prizes for Best Feature Film, Best Short Film, Best Documentary, Best Animation, Best Student Film, and the Palmetto Prize for a South Carolina film.

Last year’s Best Feature, “Tinker,” by Greenville filmmaker Sonny Marler, subsequently won several other awards and will now be released nationwide.

Building up film: An important goal of the festival is to encourage filmmaking in South Carolina.

“We want to build filmmaking up in South Carolina, particularly in this area,” Giordano said. “We want to help filmmakers develop their craft, to help them make it in the major leagues.”

“We noticed that there was a gap in the community for filmmakers, actors and actresses,” Foster said. “This has become an opportunity for them to meet and net-

Ana and Hector Batista, owners of Tacos & Mas

The family-owned, Latin-inspired Tacos & Mas that opened in a Greer strip center at 802 S. Batesville Road a year ago is focusing on the “mas” part of its name: a second location, expanded bar, and additional menu items.

In terms of typical restaurant growth, they’re on the fast track.

Opening a second location on Nov. 6 — just slightly more than a year after the original’s launch — is not unheard of, but definitely not the norm. And owners Hector and Ana Batista, originally from the Dominican Republic, were aware of the challenges the timing could present.

“We were in no rush,” Hector Batista says. “This location became available, and Greer becoming as popular as it is and as busy as it is, we started running out of space. It’s a challenge to try to do a fullservice restaurant out of that kitchen that was typically a kitchen for a Subway.”

Several months ago, one of their regular customers recommended they take a look at the property next to Aldi at 1757 A Woodruff Road and consider it for a second location.

“We came in, and we liked it right away,” Batista says. “What you see is our vision. When I walked in to that door, I envisioned exactly what’s in here.”

Despite being new restaurant owners, although certainly not new to the industry, Batista says there were enough pros to move forward with the new project.

“It was almost a no-brainer,” he says. “For us, this is an ideal location — the size of it, the space, the previous company that was here left a lot of equipment, the fact that this part of Woodruff is not as crazy as that part past I-385, the fact that Five Forks is so close, Mauldin is around the corner, [and] there’s so many neighborhoods in the back there. We looked at all of those variables, and we feel that this is a good move for Tacos & Mas.” The location wasn’t the only consideration, though.

“One thing’s for sure, that I wouldn’t have ever taken up this project if I didn’t feel comfortable that I had the right supporting team,” he says. “If I didn’t have the right supporting team that would allow me to step out of the location, I would’ve never made that decision.

That was one thing that Ana and I sat down and we contemplated really hard. Do we have the right people in place? And we did. It’s not starting fresh like we did in the previous one. We’re in a better place to start off this concept.”

Since opening the Greer location, they’ve retained about a dozen employees who are well-versed in the systems and menu, and some of them will transition over to the new location to give it a solid start.

As for the food and beverage options, a new menu with additions to the “mas” section has been rolled out for both locations, and the expanded bar options will include margaritas made with fresh juice WORDS BY ARIEL TURNER | PHOTOS BY WILL CROOKS and Sauza Silver tequila for $8.

“We’re lowering the price of the margaritas,” Hector Batista says.

“I like to provide good value when it comes to the price of the margaritas.”

New menu items include shrimp in a garlic sauce, which is very popular in the Dominican Republic, the Batistas say, tacos dorados (golden tacos, which are fried), hanger steak Argentine style with chimichurri and yucca fritas, two more fish tacos, and Ana Batista’s favorite: chicharrones, which are typically served in the U.S. as fried pork rinds.

“This is the chicharrones that have a little meat on it,” she says.

The menu will also include Cuban chicken wings, which Ana Batista resisted until she saw their popularity at a catering event with 13 Stripes Brewery at Taylors Mill.

“Ana finally got convinced because everyone The new location on Woodruff Road has much loves the chicken wings,” Hector Batista says. “I’ve more seating than the original location in Greer. been wanting to put them on a long time.”

small P L AT E S FOOD NEWS & EVENTS

BY ARIEL TURNER

BECAUSE YOU ASKED Best Burgers in Greenville I get asked at least once a week where the best burger in town is. There’s no simple answer, first, because the original Aussie Burger, with hands-down the best burger in the Upstate, closed years ago. Second, there are different types of burgers: the grass-fed beef type; the smash patty; the house grind; the dive burger; or the amusement-park-of-burgers burger. So I figured I’d take this opportunity to sound off on a few of my favorites, but in no way is this meant to be exhaustive. And let me also be clear, as long as this town is devoid of a Shake Shack, there will be multiple answers to the above question. But, if that blessed event should occur, the SmokeShack burger from Shake Shack will be my answer every single time. Here are some (again, not all) of my go-to burgers in town, and some of them do overlap categories.

Grass fed

Golden Brown & Delicious. That burger sauce (wow) and put an egg on it, always.

Smash patty

Husk. After tasting it for the first time, I asked founding chef Sean Brock if he was knocking off the Shake Shack burger, and he confirmed my suspicions.

House grind

There are several great options. Bacon Bros.

Public House, Foxcroft Wine Co., Fork and Plough, Halls Chophouse, Trappe Door, and The Strip Club in Greer (only on Fridays) are top of mind.

The dive

The amusement-park-of-burgers By which I mean this burger is a par-tay with all the things happening on it. The Southern Growl, every Thursday, wins the extreme burger war. But any other night, check out LTO Burger Bar for the Dude on the Sofa and Magnum P.I.

Poppin’ bottles

Some unique wines from Scribe Winery in Sonoma, California, are popping up at Golden Brown & Delicious for a wine dinner Friday, Nov. 2.

Chad Stock, the avant-garde winemaker of Minimus Wines in Oregon, will share a lineup of his natural wines throughout the restaurant and bar. A tasting of five wines will be $30. If you’re also dining, the staff will happily pair them with whatever food you order, or you can enjoy the wines on their own in the bar or lounge area. Reservations will be limited in the dining room, so mention the wine evening when you call.

Taste them all

If you’ve been to the annual Taste of Table 301 event in the last three years, you know it’s worth it. It’s the once-a-year chance to dine at The Lazy Goat, Jianna, Nose Dive, Soby’s, Passerelle, Papi’s Tacos, and Table 301 Catering & Kitchen all in one place. The fourth annual Taste of Table 301 will be held from 5-7 p.m. Nov. 8 at The Lazy Goat.

Hub City Soul: An Aretha Franklin Tribute, featuring TJ Jeter, Soul Intent, and The Jamie Wright Band

CONCERT

The FR8yard, 125 E. Main St., Spartanburg 7 p.m. | $10

Shannon Ferguson is a senior at Converse College, studying concert promotion and design. She’s also fond of a Spartanburg-based charity called Globalbike, a nonprofit with a mission of raising money to provide bikes for women and girls in underdeveloped regions of Tanzania, so that they have a way to get to the resources they so desperately need. “I support that cause because it allows these women to be more empowered in their daily lives,” Ferguson says. So she decided to put her educational training to good use and put on a benefit show to raise money for Globalbike. And she decided that concert would be a tribute to the late, great Aretha Franklin. “She was such a musical icon of her time and a pioneer in her genre of music,” Ferguson says, “and it seemed like it would be great pairing with this particular organization because of how empowering Aretha Franklin was.” She also thought The FR8yard would be a perfect venue for a soul-music-based show, which will feature Franklin’s music and some of Stevie Wonder’s, as well. “I approached the owner of The FR8yard and proposed this concept because it’s a genre that they don’t explore too much,” Ferguson says. “They tend to do more with indie-rock and bluegrass.

So it’s a whole different demographic.”

AROUND TOWN MORE AT EVENTS.GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM THE LAST SHOW EVER! PLEASE ATTEND! The B-52s NOV. 8 Peace Center, 300 S. Main St. | 7:30 p.m. | $45-$75

CONCERT

I mean, do we really have to tell you why you should go to this show? Do we really have to tell you how awesome it’s going to be to hear Cindy Wilson and Kate Pierson’s birdsong harmonies soar out over the Peace Center and then have Fred Schneider’s giddy quack tell you the tale of a “Rock Lobster”? Do we really have to nudge you to go see this quirky, kitschy jukebox of a party band cranking out “Love Shack,” “Roam,” “Good Stuff,” and “Private Idaho”? We can’t even really remember the last time The B-52s were anywhere near here, and few other bands are still able to get butts into, and then out of, the seats like these veteran Athens, Georgia, alchemists who blended a punk-inspired DIY attitude with trashy pop-culture and bottomless grooves. This show can mean only one thing: It’s time to “Dance This Mess Around.”

‘Wait Until Dark’ ■■ 8 p.m. Nov. 2-3, Nov. 8-10; 3 p.m. Nov. 4, 11 ■■ Greenville Little Theatre, 444 College St. ■■ $28 This masterfully constructed, spine-tingling thriller centers around a blind woman who is unwittingly at the center of a sinister plot. A Broadway hit and Audrey Hepburn movie, this classic suspense tale moves from one moment of suspense to another.

‘Shrek: The Musical, Jr.’ ■■ 7:30. - 9 p.m. Nov. 2-3, Nov. 9-10; 3-4:30 p.m.

Nov. 4, Nov. 11 ■■ Mauldin Cultural Center, 101 E. Butler Road, Mauldin ■■ $6 – $10 Mauldin Youth Theatre presents “Shrek: The Musical, Jr.” Beauty is in the eye of the ogre in this play based on the DreamWorks Animation film and Broadway musical. It’s a “big, bright, beautiful world” as everyone’s favorite ogre, Shrek, leads a cast of fairytale misfits

CONCERT

TRUNK SHOWS

AROUND TOWN MORE AT EVENTS.GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM

Sometimes bands have trouble coming up with the best way to describe themselves. But the Upstate band Valle Crucis can sum it up pretty well: pure, raw, destructive, violent, black metal. They may even be underselling it a bit; the guitar-drums duo of Skullcrusher and Ashriel (even the names are metal) essentially play as one, creating a merciless, punishing blur of sound punctuated by Skullcrusher’s vocal shriek. But their new album, “Iron & Blood,” takes that seemingly inflexible sound in lyrical and musical directions you don’t expect. “There are a few themes within the music,” Skullcrusher says. “The majority of the lyrics center around depression, anger, and hatred towards the social, political, and religious status quo of our country. The title track is about breaking through all of that, realizing potential, and rising above this status quo and destroying it.” As for the album release show, Valle Crucis hand-picked the bands they wanted on the bill with them for maximum effect. “Rapheumet’s Well we’ve seen several times, and we’re excited to share the stage with them,” he says. “Engulfed in Blackness is actually a former band of mine that Ashriel currently contributes some live drum performances to, and Von Nacht is an extremely talented duo out of Florida that we’ve wanted to bring up to South Carolina for a while now.”

Leavitt’s discoveries, dismissed until men could take credit for them, provided the key to measuring the distance between Earth and other galaxies.

‘The Boys in the Band’ ■■ 8 – 10 p.m. Nov. 2-3 ■■ Greenville Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, 1135 State Park Road ■■ $15 Set in 1968 just before the Stonewall riots, which took place in June 1969, “The Boys in the Band” features nine gay men at a birthday party in New York City where the insults flow as freely as the booze. This production will be the Deep South premiere of the new, updated version of this classic American play.
