OPINION Views from your community

Rescue the Reedy

A proposed development threatens the beauty of Falls Park IN MY OWN WORDS

By Anna Kate Hipp , Stephanie Norris, Suzy Haynsworth and Lezlie Barker

The first place proud Greenvillians take our guests is to Falls Park for the spectacular view from our own internationally acclaimed Liberty Bridge. Looking at the rapids, the cascading waterfalls and the banks and boulders of the Reedy River, we share in the natural beauty and serenity of this urban oasis.

The chronology for the now 24-acre park surrounding the river had its beginnings in 1967 when the Carolina Foothills Garden Club, partnering with the Greenville Planning Commission and Furman University, deeded 6 acres to the City of Greenville for our now world-class Reedy River Historic Park.

In those 50 years, the river has been a focus and a passion of the Carolina Foothills Garden Club. As the community worked together to create and develop the park as we know it today, several notable accomplishments are significant: the park’s inclusion in the National Historic Registry, the demolition of the Camperdown Bridge freeing the falls, the generous support of the city and our community as plans for the river and the park were refined, the establishment of the Falls Park Endowment and the construction of the Liberty Bridge.

This journey has been deliberate and passionate. While the Carolina Foothills Garden Club was among the first to urge for the expansion, refinement and implementation of the park, the project has been an endeavor supported by all facets of Greenville. When we hear people say “our park,” it is a collective, allencompassing “our,” the positive result of a dedicated, environmentally sensitive, forward-looking citizenry.

The campaign slogan “Free the Falls” successfully grew community support for the removal of the original Camperdown Bridge. The bridge came down, the park

was expanded and the Liberty Bridge was built. Now, imagine standing on the Liberty Bridge at sunset in the near future.

The existing trees on the far bank of the river have disappeared, replaced by a four-story building with the afternoon sun reflecting off the exterior of its fa-

There are positive options for compromise.

One option would be to deed the small parcel of 55 E. Camperdown Way property to the city or a nonprofit organization and put it into a perpetually safe designation. The property values would be a con-

We now find our greatest asset is at a tipping point.

Which direction will we go?

Let’s continue to be the city that hears the voices of all who share the vision that has made Greenville the wonderful place we all enjoy today. çade. Gone is the tranquility and cool serenity formally encompassing our widely admired “view from the bridge.”

This scenario is not idle speculation.

There is now a proposal before the city to construct an office building on this acreage, 55 E. Camperdown Way, directly in the view line of those on the Liberty Bridge and looking up the river. While the developer has met “legal regulations” for construction under current code, the building will block the gateway arch underneath the historic Main Street Bridge and become the view from the Liberty Bridge.

The regulations and zoning laws of the city are outdated. When enacted, it was impossible to envision what Greenville would boldly and imaginatively become today.

We are for development. We applaud and are proud of our city’s remarkable growth and renewal that followed the removal of the old Camperdown Bridge that freed the falls. The development of Falls Park, its gardens and wide expansive lawns that we all enjoy today took years of careful work.

tribution resulting in a tax credit to the donor.

Secondly, the present owner could sell the parcel to an interested party with the agreement that it would become a safe buffer to the river and never be developed. The buyer would donate the property to the Falls Park Foundation and receive a tax credit.

Thirdly, the City could purchase the property, preserving and protecting the banks of the Reedy River in the park.

We’d also like you to remember these words from Mayor Knox White in the Oct. 5, 2014, issue of The Greenville News: “Our city is firmly established as a tourists’ destination for the first time. But the greatest legacy of Falls Park is the new pride we share in our city and the belated recognition that the Reedy River is indeed our greatest asset. Downtown Greenville’s future as a distinctive, vibrant and livable urban center will be shaped by what we do next along its path.”

We now find our greatest asset is at a tipping point. Which direction will we go?

Let’s continue to be the city that hears the voices of all who share the vision that

has made Greenville the wonderful place we all enjoy today. Let us join together and make a conscious effort to think outside of the box about how we can save this last tiny, but vital, piece of land that lies along the banks of the Reedy River and is the calming entrance and tranquil focal point to literally tens of thousands of people who stand on the Liberty Bridge each year, walk through our park and marvel at what our small town in South Carolina has accomplished because we work together and share our pride of place.

Advanced Technology Improves Lasik Outcomes ADVERTORIAL

LASIK uses lasers to correct vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It is the most popular refractive surgery performed in the United States and considered the safest elective procedure in all of medicine.

Laser vision correction gives you great vision, generally restoring 20/20 vision and eliminating or reducing reliance on glasses and contacts.

Clemson Eye is a well respected leader in laser vision correction, having treated more than 15,000 Upstate patients to freedom from glasses and contacts. Not all LASIK procedures are created equal. Some outcomes are

better than others, depending on many factors, including the equipment and technique used. In 2016, Clemson Eye purchased a topography guided laser system called Contoura Topography-Guided LASIK. It is the most advanced laser vision correction in the nation.

lens wear. Results from a recent study¹ exceeded expectations.

When treated with a topography guided system, 92.7% of all patients achieved an uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), that is vision without glasses, of 20/20 or better, and 68.8% achieved a UCVA of 20/16 three months after surgery. ²

Recently FDA approved, Contoura is a step into the future.

The system uses advanced technology to incorporate a patient’s prescription and corneal irregularities into a highly customized map of their eye. It plots approximately 22,000 points of curvature on the cornea (front part of eye) versus 168 points through traditional topographers, allowing for greater customization and accuracy in treating the prescription or refractive error. While these advancements improve surgical planning and visual outcomes for all LASIK patients, they are particularly beneficial to patients with irregular corneas caused by past surgery, eye disease or corneal scarring due to contact

Symptoms traditionally associated with LASIK, such as glare, halos, difficulty driving at night, light sensitivity and eye dryness, also improved after topography guided LASIK treatment. There has never been a better time to have laser vision correction.

1. Results from FDA T-CAT-001 clinical study for topography-guided vision correction (with the 400 Hz ALLEGRETTO WAVE® Eye-Q Excimer Laser).

2. Post hoc analysis of postoperative UCVA compared to preoperative BSCVA of 230 eyes contained in the FDA T-CAT pivotal trial at 12 months. The primary end point evaluated changes in BSCVA.

Cataract Patients Now Seeing Near To Far Cataracts, a clouding of the eye’s natural lens, affect about 22 million Americans over age 40. Left untreated, cataracts can lead to blindness. They are the leading cause of vision loss in the United States.

Surgery is the only known treatment for cataracts. Two things happen during the surgery: Your clouded lens is removed and an artificial intraocular lens is implanted. The lens requires no care and simply becomes a permanent part of your eye. You don’t see or feel the lens implant.

Cataract surgery is one of the safest and most commonly performed surgeries in the U.S.1 It is a 15-minute out-patient procedure. People with cataracts can opt for basic or laser cataract surgery.

It cannot correct astigmatism or poor reading vision. This manual, bladed surgical procedure is covered by Medicare and most health insurance plans. It is a safe, excellent option. However, if you wore eye glasses before your basic cataract surgery, you will most likely need them after it.

Laser Surgery Laser cataract surgery involves using a laser and computer-guided software system to create incisions that are up to 10 times more precise than manual incisions. Here, patients have the option of advanced lenses that can correct astigmatism and provide a range of vision from near-to-far.

“Through laser cataract surgery with Vicky and Doug Kingsmore, advanced lenses, we can deliver the best Clemson Eye Cataract Patients. possible visual outcomes for our cataract patients, regardless of their age” says Dr. Joseph Parisi, Medical Director and Chief Ophthalmologist at Clemson Basic Surgery Eye. “Our laser cataract patients enjoy excellent restored Basic cataract surgery involves removing the diseased vision, whereby they are entirely free of or much less lens and implanting a monofocal lens. The monofocal dependent on eye glasses.”2 intraocular lens clears your vision at a single focal point.

A portion of the cost of laser cataract surgery and advanced lens implants is covered by Medicare and most health insurance plans. However, an additional payment is required. Clemson Eye patients have the option of 24-month, 0% payment plans.

When they developed cataracts, Clemson University benefactors Vicky and Doug Kingsmore opted for laser cataract surgery at Clemson Eye. Mr. Kingsmore had an advanced multifocal lens implanted during his laser cataract surgery. “After my surgery, I could read the telephone book and newspaper. It helped me tremendously. But more than anything else, it improved my golf game! It has been the most wonderful thing to happen to me in my adult life,” he says.

Mrs. Kingsmore had her laser cataract surgery a couple years after Doug’s, and she too opted for a multifocal lens.

“It’s a different world,” she says. “It’s a much brighter world.

And I don’t need to look for my glasses anymore, because I can read just about anything without them.”

SILENCING THE SONG DOGS State combats surge of coyotes with a hunting contest ANDREW MOORE | STAFF

amoore@communityjournals.com

While sly, the coyote isn’t a silent species.

The wild canines are often described as one of North America’s most vocal mammals and are often called “song dogs” because of their expansive section of sounds, which includes high-pitched yips, loud barks and echoing howls.

South Carolina has launched a program to silence those sounds.

The S.C. Department of Natural Resources is tagging and releasing 16 coyotes across the state. And anyone who claims one of the tagged coyotes and verifies it with SCDNR will receive a lifetime hunting license, which typically costs about $300.

The program was designed to increase the number of coyote hunters in South Carolina by giving them a chance to receive a significant reward for killing one of the tagged

coyotes, according to Jay Butfiloski, a wildlife biologist with SCDNR. The S.C. Senate approved the program in June after hearing complaints from constituents about coyotes.

“People are concerned because coyotes are getting closer to their homes, which is where their children and pets are,” Butfiloski said. “This is the Legislature’s way of trying to calm those concerns by reducing the population.”

South Carolina’s surging coyote population can be traced to two sources.

Coyotes, which are not native to South Carolina, migrated to northeast Georgia from areas west of the Mississippi River.

Coyotes then appeared in areas of northwestern South Carolina in the 1970s.

SCDNR and federal authorities reported cases of hunters illegally importing coyotes into the state under the guise of hound running in the 1980s. Coyotes were released into large pen enclosures for the purpose of training foxhounds as well as hunting.

Coyotes have since migrated to all 46 counties and are now considered nuisance animals. Farmers complain their domestic livestock is in danger, and homeowners say family pets are threatened as coyotes migrate to suburban neighborhoods.

Coyotes have been spotted in urban areas around Greenville. In September, a bus driver for Woodland Elementary School spotted a coyote behind the school’s playground.

The sighting prompted an indoor recess for students.

State wildlife officials say coyotes pose a threat to the deer population. “South Carolina’s deer have declined by more than 30 percent since the late 1990s. But not all of that is due to coyotes. But they have played their part,” said Charles Ruth, deer and turkey project coordinator for SCDNR. “Coyotes are a significant threat to fawns.”

Ruth and Dr. Jim Kilgo of the U.S. Forest Service tracked the lifespan of 216 fawns at the Savannah River Site near Aiken from 2005 to 2012. “Coyote predation accounted for 80 percent of all mortality,” Kilgo said.

“That translates to 62 percent of all fawns born, most of which would have survived had coyotes not taken them.”

Deer harvest numbers continue to fall across the state.

“Coyotes are well-established in South Carolina, so they should be expected to play a role in deer population dynamics at some level. That factor combined with extremely liberal deer harvests that have been the

norm in South Carolina are clearly involved in the reduction in deer numbers in the last decade,” Ruth said.

Ruth added that coyote numbers have increased dramatically since the 1980s. A survey revealed that hunter-harvested coyote numbers have increased from 2,500 then to more than 30,000 in 2015. Those numbers have leveled off.

Coyotes account for 62 percent of all fawn deaths at the Savannah River Site.

Coyotes will likely survive the new management program. “Cockroaches and coyotes are going to be here when we’re gone. They are extremely adaptable,” said Ruth. “Similar programs have been tried out west. However, they’ve had little effect on coyote populations. Trapping isn’t the best option either.”

From 2010 to 2012, Ruth and Kilgo removed 474 coyotes from three different 7,900-acre parcels and monitored 163 pregnant deer, which eventually gave birth to 192 fawns. But coyotes ate most of the fawns, despite the trapping efforts. “The best way to ensure that more fawns survive is to shoot fewer does during hunting season because that means more fawns will be born the next spring,” Kilgo said.

South Carolina adopted new deer harvesting regulations in June.

Under the new law, with the purchase of a license and big game permit, resident hunters will be issued eight antlerless deer tags, which are valid only on specified dates.

Hunters will also receive three antler buck tags at no charge.

The law, which takes effect in July of next year, requires hunters to tag all harvested deer. SCDNR will enforce the law and issue

citations for those who transport deer without tags.

Hunters will also have the option of purchasing two more buck tags at $5 a piece.

Those tags come with antler restrictions.

The buck must have a minimum of four points on one antler or a minimum 12-inch inside antler spread.

Those funds will be used for the coyote management program.

SCDNR has hired four licensed trappers to capture the 16 coyotes. So far, the trappers have captured nine. The agency plans to release four coyotes in each of the four game zones. “The idea is to spread the coyotes around so that everyone has a chance,” said Butfiloski. “We hope to trap the remaining coyotes before December.”

The program has garnered 1,400 registered participants so far. SCDNR plans to survey participants next year to gauge their overall interest in coyote hunting and improve the program, according to Butfiloski.

The Tiger’s Orders Clemson opens world’s first solar-powered mobile health clinic for underserved communities ANDREW MOORE | STAFF

amoore@communityjournals.com

Clemson University is putting health care on four wheels.

The Joseph F. Sullivan Center, the university’s health care center, has opened the world’s first solar-powered, mobile health clinic. “This vehicle is truly a dream come true for me and our staff,” said Dr. Paula Watt, director of the Sullivan Center.

She added that the mobile clinic would provide health care to underserved communities throughout Greenville, Anderson, Pickens and Oconee counties as well as help students understand the challenges of health care.

The new mobile clinic provides immediate health needs, such as flu shots. But it also provides breast and cervical cancer screenings and connects residents to regular health care providers.

NEWS Sen. Thomas Alexander (R-Walhalla), who said mobile clinics are essential to helping areas of the state that remain underserved in South Carolina, which lacks physicians.

The U.S. will be facing a deficit of more than 130,000 primary care physicians by 2025, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges. In 2014, the last year that data is available, South Carolina ranked 37th with 223.1 primary care physicians per every 100,000 patients. Also, 1.2 million South Carolinians live in a primary care shortage area. That’s 25 percent of the state.

“It’s critical that the state make it possible for organizations like the Sullivan Center to bring health care to folks who need it most,” Alexander said. “The state should support any mission that leads to better health outcomes, and the preventative and educational components provided by mobile clinics have proven time and again to do just that.”

The mobile health clinic will also provide educational opportunities for nursing and other health science students. Clemson University already has more than 7,500 recorded hours of one-on-one teaching through its nursing and health schools.

Clemson recently received support from the joint medical and nursing boards for South Carolina that will allow the clinic to access care across the state. “They [students] will rise to the challenges faced by

the individuals this clinic serves and lead the way to improved health care across our state and beyond,” Watt said.

Watt worked with Odulair, a Wyoming manufacturing company, to create the mobile health clinic. “We did immeasurable homework on what we wanted,” she said.

One of her concerns was the clinic’s offroad capability. So the company built the clinic with a four-wheel drive base. The new mobile clinic also features flexClinic technology that allows walls to move and convert from one room to five rooms.

The entire clinic runs off a special solar battery that eliminates the noise and fumes that typically come from a traditional generator as well as decreases operation and maintenance costs.

It’s the world’s first mobile health clinic to use 100 percent solar power.

“We’ve all dreamed of using solar power in this way for a long time, but the technology is finally at a stage where it can be useful,” said Anita Chambers, president and CEO of Odulair, the clinic’s manufacturer.

The clinic should remain functional through 2030, according to the company.

Drought sparks Upstate wildfire, burning ban ANDREW MOORE | STAFF

amoore@communityjournals.com

The pile of leaves will have to wait.

Last week, the South Carolina Forestry Commission issued a burning ban for all counties in the state’s Piedmont region. That includes Anderson, Greenville, Oconee, Pickens and Spartanburg counties.

The burning ban prohibits outdoor burning, including yard debris burning and burning for forestry, wildlife or agricultural purposes. Campfires and open-fire cooking are not in the ban. But the Forestry Commission strongly encourages people in the area to refrain from any unnecessary burning.

“The ongoing drought, combined with leaf fall, low humidity and high winds, is making conditions ripe for wildfire,” said S.C. Forestry Commission Fire Chief Darryl Jones.

“The intent of this burning ban is to help us avoid the number and severity of wildfires that we’re seeing in all of our neighboring states.”

The Forestry Commission confirmed last week that the smoky haze settling over the state was coming from wildfires throughout western North Carolina, northeastern Georgia and southeastern Tennessee.

Also, a fire ignited on Pinnacle Mountain at Table Rock State Park last Wednesday.

The fire had grown to 2,200 acres as of Sunday. The fire is in an area where controlled fires are common to thin out the tree canopy, according to Doug Wood, director of communications for the Forestry Commission.

Last week, firefighters operated hand lines while the S.C. National Guard used its helicopter to drop water on the fire from Lake Oolenoy in Table Rock State Park. The state park’s mountain trails have been closed until further notice, but the park and its lakeside trail are open, according to park officials.

The smoke is going to remain in the area until the wildfires are controlled or South Carolina receives significant rainfall, said Jones. But the latter won’t be happening anytime soon.

“Fire season in South Carolina is usually December through April. The dry conditions in the upper parts of the state have made the environment right for that to move up sooner,” Forestry Commission Fire Staff Forester

Brad Bramlett said.

The S.C. Drought Response Committee updated drought statuses for all 46 counties in October. Upstate counties, including Anderson, Oconee and Pickens, were upgraded to severe drought status.

Other Upstate counties, including Greenville, were designated as moderate.

But the current drought conditions are the worst in the Upstate since 2012. Some counties in the Upstate have received less than 10 percent of normal rainfall throughout the last 60 days, according to climatologist Hope Mizzell. “It is rare to see such a range of extremes with Myrtle Beach receiving over 33 inches of rain over the last 60 days, while Easley reports only 75 one-hundredths of an inch,” she said.

Streams in the Upper Savannah and Upper Santee Basins have been below normal for the past six months. It’s worsened since mid-September because of low rainfall patterns, according to the S.C. Department of Natural Resources.

The drought has affected lakes throughout the Piedmont region. Lake Jocasse is 10 feet below; Lake Keowee is 4 feet below; and Lake Hartwell is 8 feet below, said SCDNR hydrologist Scott Harder.

The dry conditions are here to stay.

The National Climate Prediction Center recently forecasted below-normal winter rainfall and warmer-than-normal temperatures. “The committee will closely monitor the situation since the forecast is for a continued pattern of below normal rainfall,” said Ken Rentiers, chairman of the S.C. Drought Response Committee.

The Forestry Commission is urging people with respiratory issues to be mindful of the smoke and possible particulate matter in the air. “Wildfires occurring in the mountains and Piedmont are exhibiting aggressive fire behavior, therefore increasing safety concerns,” Bramlett said.

FIRE FACTS Source: S.C. Forestry Commission 98 percent of all wildfires are caused by human activities.

Nearly 50 percent of those fires are due to escaped debris burns.

The S.C. Forestry Commission responds to 2,500 wildfires every year.

Wildfires burn about 18,000 acres annually in South Carolina.

Cheers County Sunday alcohol sales should have little effect on city CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

amoore@communityjournals.com

When voters approved a referendum last week allowing Sunday alcohol sales in unincorporated areas, the City of Greenville lost one of the selling points of businesses being annexed into the city.

Sunday alcohol sales have been legal in the City of Greenville since the passage of a 1999 referendum.

“The change expectedly opened a lot of doors to a lot of small annexations,” Mayor Knox White said. “But it was a marginal benefit and not something we have built

our annexation efforts around.”

Annexing property has been one of the city’s goals for years. White and the City Council have said South Carolina’s tough annexation laws have made it difficult for the city to grow and that its official population doesn’t reflect how big the city actually is.

Sunday alcohol sales revenue for the city has climbed from nearly $280,000 in 2011-12 to a projected $446,459 in 2019.

The city has earmarked some of that revenue for a Fluor Field renovation project and work at the TD Convention Center.

Sunday alcohol sales once was a sure loser at ballot boxes in South Carolina, but Greenville County became the 20th county in the state to allow them by an overwhelming margin. More than 134,000 Greenville County residents voted in favor of the sales, while 56,565 voted against.

Sunday alcohol sales were already allowed in all of the municipalities within Greenville County.

Sunday alcohol sales in the county could start as early as this weekend, said state Department of Revenue spokeswoman Bonnie Swingle.

Before the successful Nov. 8 vote, Sunday alcohol sales in the county had come up at least twice before. Fifty-seven percent of Greenville County voters were against it in a 1999 vote. The City of Greenville approved Sunday alcohol sales a year later. Sunday alcohol sales came up again in 2010, but the issue never made it to the voters as the Greenville County Council failed to pass an ordinance authorizing the referendum on second reading.

Debate about a potential Sunday alcohol referendum died in 2014 after Council concerns that it would negatively affect a referendum on a sales tax to fund road

projects. The roads referendum was overwhelmingly defeated.

After the council punted on a 2014 Sunday alcohol sales referendum, David McCraw, owner of the Palmetto Restaurant and Ale House, launched a petition campaign, which failed because it didn’t get the required number of signatures from registered voters. But McCraw continued to lobby council, saying that council would not be voting to approve Sunday alcohol sales, only to allow voters to decide. McCraw had said the inability of businesses not located within a municipality to sell alcohol on Sundays hurt their ability to compete. McCraw’s own business had been closed on Sundays because it was located in the county and could not sell beer, wine or liquor on Sundays.

Organizations seeking tourism tax money may face more City Council scrutiny CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

City hospitality taxes — a 2 percent tax on prepared meals and beverages — are expected to generate more than $10 million in 2017. Accommodations taxes — state and local taxes added to hotel bills — will generate another $5.5 million.

During the past year, Greenville City Council has allocated tourism money for the South Carolina Children’s Theatre’s new performance, education and administrative building, improvements to Fluor Field and the Children’s Museum of the Upstate. The proposed City Park will likely get a chunk of that money in the future.

While money generated by a 2 percent state accommodations tax requires dispersal through a local advisory committee, the 2 percent hospitality tax collected by the city and a 3 percent local accommodations tax do not require the same oversight under law.

A City Council tourism marketing committee proposes that organizations that

want some of that money will fill out the same application used for Ataxes. “The whole purpose is to bring t r a n s p a r e n c y, ” said Councilwoman Amy Ryberg Doyle, who chairs the committee.

A proposed Amy Ryberg Doye tourism marketing grant application asks whether the project has broad-based community appeal and how it promotes and expands tourism in the city. The application asks about other funding sources and requires that other government or private sector support cover at least 70 percent of the event’s budget.

During review of the project applications, city officials will determine whether it qualifies for accommodations tax money or hospitality funds, Doyle said. The committee wants to hold a public workshop for pro-

ELECTION 2016 Plant a Tree

Advertorial

Joelle Teachey | TreesGreenville jteachey@treesgreenville.org Leave a legacy. Plant a tree.

Step 1: Select the Right Tree for the Right Place.

When selecting a tree, think about it’s mature size. How tall and wide will it get? How much root space does the tree need? When purchasing a tree, make sure it only has one main trunk. Forked trunks don’t do as well in ice storms.

Step 2: Think about your soil moisture and sunlight. Trees vary in their tolerance of soil moisture and sunlight. Trees that are tolerant of dry soils are drought tolerant species.

There are higher concentrations of available nutrients in soil with a pH of about 6 to 7.5.

Check the pH of your soil. If necessary, address extreme soil pH problems.

Step 3: Dig a wide hole. The width of the hole should be about 3 times the diameter of the rootball.

Step 4: Remove soil from the top of the rootball until you find the first main lateral root and the flare at the bottom of the trunk. Prune to correct circular roots. Proper planting depth is based on the first main lateral root. In compact soil the rootball is set ¼ above finished grade. In modified soil it is set at finished grade. Remove straps, wire cages, burlap, plastic ties, rope, staking, and tags.

Step 5: Backfill the first ¾ of your hole with the soil that came out of the hole. Then, add soil amendments. Mix no more than 20% of the total volume of the hole to the remaining soil and backfill. Keep your backfill off of the top of the rootball. Mycrorrhizae is the best amendment you can add.

Step 6: Mulch up to the edge of the rootball.

Keep mulch away from the trunk of the tree. Keep mulch 2-4 inches deep. Mulch wide, not deep.

Step 7: Water. Water. Water. Trees need to be watered regularly the first two years of planting.

Irrigation for your lawn may not meet the watering needs of your tree. Newly planted trees need slow and deep watering.

Step 8: When pruning, never remove more than 10% of the canopy. Make your pruning cuts just outside of the branch collar and the branch bark ridge. Do not top trees. Topping weakens the tree and leaves large wounds.

‘I think everyone was surprised’ S.C. women’s reactions to Trump election span the political spectrum EMILY PIETRAS | ASSOCIATE EDITOR

epietras@communityjournals.com

Last Tuesday, millions of Americans cast their votes for the next president of the United States, and by early Wednesday morning, Donald Trump was declared the president-elect. Many Hillary Clinton supporters were eager for the chance to make and witness history by electing the first female president, but the role that women played in this election extended far beyond the sex of one candidate. Women’s issues were also a top priority in many voters’ minds.

Throughout her campaign, Clinton placed a heavy emphasis on her life’s work fighting for the rights of women and children. Clinton advocated for equal pay, paid family leave, abortion rights and affordable child care. Trump proposed child care and family leave plans, and he ran on an anti-abortion rights platform.

Trump also made headlines with his comments directed toward women. But while Trump did lose the overall female vote — 42 percent to Clinton’s 54 percent, according to USA Today — his numbers within the demographic closely aligned with Mitt Romney’s in 2012.

Women, just like any other demographic in the electorate, have different political leanings among each other — even in the red state of South Carolina. (In Greenville County, Clinton came away with 34.7 percent of all votes.)

Women across the state are both pleased and disappointed with Trump’s victory.

INITIAL REACTIONS Donna Gottschall, president of Upstate Republican Women; Phyllis Henderson, S.C. state representative of district 21; and Rita Allison, S.C. state representative of district 36, all described the election results as a welcomed surprise.

Scarlett Jones, first vice president of Democratic Women of Greenville County, said last Thursday afternoon that many were “still in shock and disappointment.”

“We certainly were hoping Hillary Clinton would be elected,” she added.

Polls and pundits that consistently predicted a Clinton victory leading up to the election likely contributed to the stunned reaction.

“I was surprised and dismayed by the results. I think most people who were relying on polls were caught off-guard,” said Dr. Diane

Perpich, director of the program in women’s leadership at Clemson University.

(Women’s leadership is a Bachelor of Arts program at Clemson and is therefore nonpartisan and does not endorse a specific candidate.)

Gov. Nikki Haley, who stated prior to the election that she would be voting for Electoral map of South Trump, released the Carolina representing following statement counties won by Donald last Wednesday: “We Trump (red) and Hillary Clinton (blue). congratulate PresSource: Politico ident-elect Donald Trump on his historic victory.

“I really didn’t get involved personally about This is an opportunity for the country to unite and work together, and, as governor of South those kinds of things,” she said regarding Carolina, I will partner with our new president Trump’s comments, but she added that she does not “approve of that kind of talk.” to move our state and nation forward.”

Jones, on the other hand, was “very surPrior to Tuesday’s election, many political observers wondered if Haley, whose name was prised” that Trump’s comments did not hurt circulated as a potential vice presidential pick his candidacy more and was dismayed they prior to Trump winning the nomination, was were tolerated.

Perpich said that while the young women where it goes.

is a women’s issue or not or a Republican or a Democrat issue … I look at what is going to be the best for everybody.”

“I hope he surrounds himself with people that can give him good advice, and that he takes those issues and moves forward on them while keeping in mind what is best for the great citizens of this country, both in safety and quality of life,” said Allison.

Jones does not think women’s issues will be a “priority, at least within the first year” under a Trump administration.

“We’ll wait and see what happens,” she said.

“I think the Democratic Party and Democratic women in particular are going to keep these women’s issues on the forefront throughout his presidency.”

Perpich believes that how Trump will handle women’s issues is currently an unknown.

“I think Trump has said so little of substance during his campaign that it is very hard to know. His running mate, Mike Pence, has very extreme views regarding women’s reproductive rights,” she said. “His own views have been opposed even by Republican women in his own state, so I think we will have to watch these issues very closely.”

For many women who oppose abortion, a Trump presidency represents a potential for significant change to current abortion laws.

“I think his choices and stand on abortion are going to be a huge asset to our country,” Gottschall said. “Hopefully it will be a thing of the past … and hopefully children will be taken

care of inside the womb and outside the womb by nurturing mothers.”

Jones does not yet view a Trump presidency as a threat to Roe v. Wade. “I think he is more interested in getting rid of Obamacare and replacing it and some other issues,” she said.

LOOKING AHEAD For Democratic women in Greenville County and beyond who are disappointed with the election results, Jones believes “we have to just stick together and work together in the next four years. We have a gubernatorial race coming up [in 2018]. We need to look for good Democratic candidates and support them.”

Although incumbent Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy defeated Democratic challenger Chris Fedalei in the 4th congressional district race, winning 67 percent of votes, Jones noted that the latter “did make a showing, and he had a lot of support.”

“I firmly believe it starts right here locally with your county council and state offices. It certainly starts locally, because these are the people who eventually and usually go on to serve in Congress,” she added.

“Women need to organize and run for office at a local, state and federal level,” said Perpich, regarding how women can move forward. “We have to keep young women from being turned off by politics. We won’t change it if we abandon it. The presidency would have been an important and symbolic win, but we need women at all levels in political life.”

ELECTION 2016 OPINION:

Over and Donald Both Republicans and Democrats ignored the force driving Trump’s popularity CHRIS HAIRE | EDITOR

chaire@communityjournals.com

From the moment Donald Trump first entered the presidential race, barely a day went by when there wasn’t a new outrage, a new indignation, a new soundbite slur that would be endlessly repeated on cable TV. As Trump emerged as the frontrunner and Hillary Clinton continued to use behind-thescenes Democratic Party machinations to stop the populist usurper in her party, a new

type of partisan divide began to bellow forth, signaling the placement of the final brick in the wall that separates what is now two very different Americas.

Some say this stark division, at least in this particular shape and form, has been with us since the rise of right-wing radio and the presidency of Bill Clinton. But the 2016 campaign was different. It wasn’t simply a battle between red states and blue states, flyover country and massive metropolitan areas.

This was a Tolkienesque fight between good and evil, and the stakes were as dire as they were during the War of the Ring.

There was one hitch, though. Neither side could agree who fought for Mordor and who was trying to destroy the One Ring in the fiery abyss of Mt. Doom.

This is where we find ourselves today. But it doesn’t have to be where we are tomorrow.

I can’t speak to what Trump may do, and I have no desire to rehash all of the brutish characteristics that make him odious to both Democrats and many Republicans. In fact, thanks to our system of checks and balances, there is very little he will actually be able to accomplish, even with both Congressional houses on his side.

ELECTION 2016 ‘It’s disheartening’ Head of Julie Valentine Center talks about the election EMILY PIETRAS | ASSOCIATE EDITOR

epietras@communityjournals.com

The release of the 2005 “Access Hollywood” tape was not the first time president-elect Donald Trump ran into criticism for the way he spoke about women before and during his campaign, but it may be the most memorable.

His comments earned rebuke from voters, public figures, celebrities and both Democrats and Republicans in office, including Sen. Tim Scott. But, as is now evident, they did not end his candidacy or cost him the presidency. Although Trump lost the overall female vote by a 54-42 margin, 53 percent of white women voted for him, according to the New York Times.

(94 percent of African-American women voted for Hillary Clinton.)

But for sexual assault victims, Trump’s vic-

tory can be perceived as a tacit dismissal of their experience, and some are currently grappling with the reality that a man who boasted about kissing and groping women in a nonconsensual manner just won an election to become the most powerful man in the country.

Following the election, media outlets, including Buzzfeed, The Atlantic, Complex and Broadly, a women-focused channel on Vice, published articles that put a spotlight on the potential messages that a Trump presidency sends to victims of sexual assault, and the distraught reactions that came from both survivors and advocates.

“It’s disheartening to them,” said Shauna Galloway-Williams, executive director of the Julie Valentine Center, a Greenville nonprofit that provides services to survivors of sexual assault and child abuse. “It’s disheartening to those of us who do this work, and we anticipated that we would have callers calling in on our hotline or clients that we see that would be triggered by that … and that was the case.”

The day after the election, Galloway-Williams said the center received hotline calls

from victims who were triggered by the news that Trump would be taking office.

Although the election result has stirred up feelings of dismay in the acShauna Galloway-Williams, tivist community, executive director of the Galloway-Williams Julie Valentine Center said that the center will “respect the office and respect the process and certainly put our faith in the democratic process itself. At the same time, we will continue to fight the battle that we do every day. … And we will continue to take a stand against statements, actions and behaviors that continue to perpetuate [sexual violence] in our society,” she said.

Oftentimes, women who are sexually assaulted know the offender. That person is also frequently “someone who has some type of position of power in their lives, whether it is actual or perceived power,” Galloway-Williams explained.

“And so when someone takes an office like this one and becomes the president and has said those types of things and has been accused of sexual assault, it sends a message, I think, to the community and survivors that those issues are not important and that these behaviors are not taken seriously,” she said.

“In my world this is one of the most important issues. And for victims and survivors, it is a very important issue for them too.”

Donald Trump issued an apology shortly following the leak of the “Access Hollywood” tape. He said he was not “proud” of his comments but also added that they were “locker room talk.”

While this defense received a share of public backlash, some voters, both men and women, also accepted the “locker room talk” label. Galloway-Williams said the application and approval of this rationalization is part of rape culture, which is defined by activists and women’s studies scholars as “a setting where sexual violence is pervasive and normalized.”

“We dismiss statements like that as ‘locker room talk’ or ‘boys being boys’ without thinking about the implications of those words and that those words do really matter … What he [Trump] was describing was acting without consent,” she added.

Part of the mission of the Julie Valentine Center is to increase awareness so that sexual violence and assault can be prevented. This also involves “talking to boys and men specifically about not contributing to this behavior and being a bystander,” Galloway-Williams said. “As long as we continue to tolerate it, it is almost dismissing it and saying it is okay, which it’s not.”

And while the road to having a national conversation about sexual assault and violence was not an ideal one, Galloway-Williams said that the Julie Valentine Center sees “these as opportunities to get our message out there and continue to communicate to victims that we do believe them, that we do stand behind them.”

In a classroom at Eastside High School on a late Wednesday morning, “The Harlem Shake” is blasting through a pair of speakers.

A group of students is gathered in a circle, working on warming up their muscles under the direction of Kelsey Crum and Alyson Amato, dance educators at Carolina Dance Collaborative (CDC). The room is bustling with activity and energy. It’s the second week of a

’ n i v o M Groovin’ and

fiveweek special education residency that CDC is bringing to four local high schools, and the students are eager to get started.

The program, which began Oct. 24 and runs through Nov. 28, is being held at J.L. Mann, Berea, Riverside and Eastside high schools. Crum and Amato are visiting the schools’ special education classrooms once a week and, for the length of a class period, are teaching a dance and arts integration curriculum to students. They hope that this special education residency is just the beginning of similar programs CDC will introduce to local high schools.

Crum and Amato, who both graduated from the University of South Carolina with a Bachelor of Arts in dance education, co-founded CDC in spring 2015. The mobile dance outreach program offers a wide range of curriculums — including YMCA classes, in-school and after-school programs, senior citizen classes, adult classes and classes for those with disabilities and special needs — to provide the public with dance experiences. CDC aims to share both the physi-

cal and creative self-expression of dance with all demographics in order to “improve self-esteem, self-confidence, body awareness and collaboration.”

Including Crum and Amato, the company currently has 10 dance instructors.

Most of CDC’s current school programs are held at elementary schools, but Crum and Amato wanted to find a way to reach out to local high schools as well. They agreed the best approach to engage with older students was to simultaneously connect with those who have disabilities and special needs.

“I’m glad we were asked to be involved, because I knew my students would want to do this,” says Kim Sinclair, a special education teacher at Eastside. “They all love dance and music … We’re always creating our own [activities in the classroom], so it’s nice for

the classroom has four peer tutors who provide encouragement to their classmates and help them complete the movements. “[The peer tutors] have a relationship with those students and get to know them throughout the year,” says Crum. “They’ve been really helpful with this project. We couldn’t do it without the additional assistance. They help them engage in more ways than we could.”

Making connections someone to come in and provide this.”

The students have also welcomed the opportunity.

“I like learning the dance moves,” says Jacob Reed, one of Mrs. Sinclair’s students. He says it is his first time learning how to dance and that he enjoys music.

Ally Howard, another student, says with a big smile that “having fun” is her favorite part about learning dance.

Team effort CDC is a for-profit company, but they often work with nonprofits to expand access to their various programs. The Barbara Stone Foundation, which strives to improve the quality of life for those with disabilities, is providing the necessary funding to make the high school special education residency a reality for these students. The Barbara Stone Foundation has also helped provide scholarships for the company’s disability outreach programs, which include a Saturday morning Connect class, held at First Baptist Greenville, and the Adaptive Christmas Flash Mob, a yearly performance at the Fountain Inn Annual Christmas Festival. The students currently participating in the special education program can also attend these programs if they want to learn more.

“Barbara Stone has always been very supportive. They see a need for recreation programs for people with disabilities,” says Crum, CDC’s managing director. “There isn’t a whole lot out there, especially when it comes to dance, so they wanted to provide that funding for the programs that we do have.”

Between the four high schools, 55 special education students are participating in the program. Eighteen peer tutors, students who volunteer to assist the teachers in the special education classrooms, also attend the sessions. At Eastside,

In addition to the dance component of the residency, Amato, the CDC’s director of education and development, has created an arts integration curriculum for the students that incorporates history lessons.

During the program, the students have been learning about the cultural and historical significance of the Harlem Renaissance.

“We wanted to take the concepts of dance and movement by connecting it to an academic portion to broaden their view of dance and show them that what they are learning in the classroom can be explored outside of us being there,” says Crum.

At the beginning of this particular lesson, Amato and Crum conduct a brief review of what the students have learned so far about the Great Migration of the early and mid-1900s.

The previous week had specifically focused on the modes of transportation that African-Americans utilized to move from the South to the North, including a car, train, and horse and carriage. To relate that back to dance and movement, the students all perform motions that correspond to these objects.

“Take your horse’s reigns,” Amato tells the students when they’re about to mimic a horse and carriage. She raises her arms in front of her and makes two fists. “And remember it’s a gallop, so move those legs up and down,” she says, demonstrating the motion as the students follow her lead and move around the classroom. Throughout the exercise, Crum and Amato instruct the students to keep their arms and legs active and to use the space all around them.

“We focus more on [teaching] creative movement of exploring pathways, different ways of using our bodies to travel, those sorts of things,” says Crum, regarding the type of dance that the students are learning. “[The warm up] that we do at

the beginning of every class … has some combinations of jazz and hip-hop and even modern and contemporary.”

The previous week, Crum and Amato taught the students the step-drag, which they revisit during the lesson. To build off that movement, this week the students learn how to do the Charleston, which Amato explains was a popular dance move that emerged with the rise of jazz music during the Harlem Renaissance. They break down the movement into separate parts for the students and then practice it through repetition while giving continuous verbal cues.

Poetry in motion To ultimately tie together the lessons learned about the Harlem Renaissance with dance, each group of students at the four schools has been assigned a poem written during the time period. They are now working to create choreography that coincides with their interpretation of that poem. At Eastside, the students are given “Good Morning” by Langston Hughes. They split up into smaller groups and are each assigned a few lines from the poem. Within those lines, each group works together to find words that emphasize motion and action while creating movements to represent them. Afterward, the poem is read line by line while each group presents the movements they chose.

Ultimately, this exercise not only allows these students to explore their creativity by connecting movements to poetry but also it provides them with physical enrichment.

In the coming weeks, the students will practice and memorize these movements. At the program’s conclusion, students at all four schools will showcase what they have learned at a public performance at J.L. Mann High School on Friday, Dec. 2, at 6 p.m. Each school will perform their poem-inspired routine separately, and then all the students will go on stage together to do their warm-up routine. There will be a reception afterward to celebrate the students’ accomplishments.

Crum and Amato hope that, in addition to families and teachers, members of the community will also attend the performance.

“This project is a way to help other people see the power of dance and the impact of the arts, not just on people who have disabilities but on all lives. Our goal and mission is to reach all people through dance,” says Crum. “We want dance and what we’re doing in the city to be known.”

FUNDRAISING

United Way of Greenville County extends giving campaign The United Way of Greenville County has extended its 2016 community campaign, the organization announced last Thursday during an event to recognize donors.

The campaign, which began Sept. 6, has generated more than $16 million in donations.

“For the past several weeks, friends, neighbors and coworkers from across Greenville County have come together to support our community through this year’s United Way campaign,” said Jennifer Johnsen, campaign chair and shareholder at Gallivan, White & Boyd, in a news release. “The level of support from Greenville County’s corporate community, small businesses, public employees and nonprofit partners has once again been encouraging and outstanding.”

Many companies are still experiencing a steady stream of donor support.

“We didn’t want to have a chilling effect and stop momentum,” said Johnsen on the decision to continue the campaign. “Our goal is to raise as much money as possible for the community.”

There are some companies whose campaigns have just started, said Johnsen. For example, TD Bank, which is a national partner for United Way, just kicked off their campaign. Fluor’s giving campaign is also still ongoing.

“We’ve never had as many campaigns running after when we normally report [our total],” said Mike Posey, vice president of marketing and communications.

The United Way hopes the extension also gives people who do not have a connection to a company campaign the opportunity to contribute, especially because the campaign will be continuing on Giving Tuesday, the unofficial start to the holiday giving season. Giving Tuesday falls on Nov. 29 this year.

The fundraising total thus far is “astonishing,” says Kurt Rozelsky, campaign vice chair and attorney at Smith Moore Leatherwood LLP, “but it pales in comparison to the need” in the community.

Funds generated from the campaign go toward the United Way of Greenville County’s Cycle of Success program. The four pillars of the program are Life Essentials, School Readiness, High School Graduation and Financial Stability. The philosophy behind the Cycle of Success is that if children are prepared to go to school and learn from early childhood, there will be a domino effect in which they will have academic success, graduate high school, find good jobs and create stable homes.

Their children will then be afforded the same opportunities for a bright future beginning early in life. The Cycle of Success collaborates with private and public entities and encompasses more than 100 programs and initiatives within the United Way and its 69 partner agencies.

While the United Way continues to provide assistance in immediate crisis and emergency situations, they are also paying attention to fulfilling the foundational needs of the community, said Posey.

The organization is excited for what’s to come during the course of the rest of the campaign. “United Way of Greenville County raises more money than any other chapter in the state. It’s a great model for fundraising. It shows how generous our community is,” said Johnsen.

On January 26, 2017, the United Way will host its annual meeting and awards celebration for supporters at the TD Convention Center. The final campaign total will be announced at the event.

Takeout Takeaways establishments these days, you can take a bite of Maria’s Goan burger without unhinging your jaw like a snake, and chewing the bread is not an exercise in endurance. The Goan burger is slightly squished and it’s sloppy but not overwhelming so. You won’t have to constantly readjust your angles to keep all the contents from spilling out. Everything stays, more or less, contained.

Personally, I would have enjoyed a heavier hand with the spices. I had expected to be blown away by Indian flavors, but instead I was teased by them.

The fries, on the other hand, are perfectly serviceable, seasoned with a slight dusting of spices and crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside.

One of the homier dishes on the menu, the Brazillian feijoada ($7.50) features black beans, collard greens, rice, pico de gallo, chunks of beef and sausage with fennel seeds, a common ingredient in Indian cuisine. The steak is tender, moist and holds up nicely even when put in the fridge and microwaved the next day. While providing a Southern touch, the collards don’t add much, but the pico rather nicely cuts through the earthiness of the beans.

One of the more bizarre items I tried, the Bird Dog, is a truly curious beast. Featuring a slice of bacon, white and cheddar cheese, a fried chicken tender and mustard sauce, the Bird

A Melting Pot of Flavors Maria’s Kitchen offers a wild ride across the culinary landscape CHRIS HAIRE | EDITOR

chaire@communityjournals.com The Drop-In Store has been a Greenville staple for three decades. For many in the North Main area, it’s been a place to grab a 12-pack of PBR on the way home or a bag of Doritos and a Powerball lottery ticket. But over the past few years, the cramped convenience store has undergone a transformation that few longtime customers could have predicted — the DropIn now doubles as one of Greenville’s more curious culinary destinations, Maria’s Kitchen.

And make no mistake, Maria’s is a destination. In large part it’s because the North Main restaurant is such an oddity, both as a location and for the type of cuisine it

serves — a delightful grab bag of American lunchtime staples and international fare, Indian, Portuguese, Mexican and Cuban. On any given day, you’ll find hot dogs, shrimp tacos, samosas and veggie burgers, while the specials for the day may include tamales, chicken soup, gyros and smoothies.

Maria’s Kitchen is helmed by Maria Gomes, who, along with her husband, Roland, own and run the Drop-In. However, these days Maria is back in the kitchen. Gomes didn’t go to culinary school. She didn’t train under a regional celebuchef. Instead, she borrows dishes and ideas from a former business partner and draws on the cross-cultural cooking she grew up with in Goa, India, an area ruled by the Portuguese for nearly 500 years. And in that regard, what

Gomes serves up is a type of home cooking, that is if your home was a melting pot of cuisines.

Take for instance the Goan burger ($5.99), a regular item on Maria’s menu. With it, Gomes takes that most American of dishes — a burger and fries — and adds to it an assortment of spices and garlic, creating a hamburger that is at once familiar and unique. Topped with lettuce, tomato, mayo, cheese, mustard and a dab of some kind of secret sauce, the patty is wellseasoned; whatever additions she makes to the meat aren’t overpowering. In fact, they’re rather subtle, and as such, unlikely to throw more vanilla burger fans off.

More importantly, Gomes nails the size and shape of a classic burger, striking the right balance between heft and size. Unlike many

Dog is stunt eating and quite honestly, there’s a time and a place for this sort of giddiness — it’s like something a drunken frat boy or a particularly nutty ballpark operator might think of. For anyone who has ever put Cheetos on a sandwich, you’ll know there’s some fun about biting through soft bread and into something crunchy, and the Bird Dog offers a similar experience. I imagine this is a big hit with kids.

Speaking of sandwiches — and yes, I’m in the a-hot-dog-is-a-sandwich camp — the Cuban sandwich ($7.50) is another regular menu item that’s worth checking out. Tucked in between a carefully pressed panini, you’ll find a nice slab or two of pork and ham; both are purposefully grilled with some char marks adding a bit of tasty gristle, while I would have preferred a more traditional pickle instead of relish and some mojo to dip the Cuban into. However, the true stars of this dish are the house-made chips that accompany the sandwich.

I’m not normally a chips guy, but Maria’s held up nicely — they weren’t too crispy as fresh chips often are but still had that deep-fried snap and crunch. But it was the sauce that was slightly drizzled across them that stood out.

Thinner than A-1 yet more adhesive, and tasting like a more viscous malt vinegar, the sauce was awesome. It’s what ketchup aspires to be.

Maria’s offers an assortment of tacos — the aforementioned shrimp tacos were colorful ($6.99) — but we settled on the Carnitas.

Topped with sour cream, lettuce, cheddar and diced tomatoes, this one is a split between a traditional Mexican taco and an American one. While it doesn’t hit all the feels diehard traditionalists want in a taco — some pico, queso, red cabbage and a splash of lime would certainly liven things up — the pork is nicely seasoned, with a mild bit of heat and bit of char.

Like pizza, there’s really no such thing as a bad taco, and this is proof of that — it satisfies, especially at three for $5.99, and is sure to please fans of the American style The one dish that I was truly disappointed in was the chicken enchiladas ($5.99). The strangely small enchiladas look almost like spring rolls, and they’re paired with rice, cheese, some crema and salsa verde. The dish was rather lackluster in look and taste. The chicken didn’t taste particularly seasoned, and the sauce atop it was lacking the acidic bite needed to counter the heaviness of the cheese. Still, like all of Maria’s offerings, the price is more than reasonable.

And therein lies the ultimate selling point for Maria’s Kitchen. The price point is lower than what you would normally get for this kind of food, and the variety is quite unheard of. For many of Maria’s regulars, it’s quite clear that half the fun is coming back to this North Main restaurant and seeing what the day’s specials are.

Blues From an Old Soul Upstate singer/guitarist JL Fulks has a sound way beyond his years VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR

vharris@communityjournals.com

On his new EP, “On Down the Road,” singer/guitarist JL Fulks’ thick, heavy tone and fluid soloing style resembles the great Stevie Ray Vaughan. Listening to him lock into a down-and-dirty roadhouse groove on the opening track, “The River,” feels like slipping on an old pair of jeans, especially if you’re a fan of the place where the blues and Southern rock meet. But the Fountain Inn-born Fulks, just 26 years old, has a lot more to offer than gruff blues-rock retreads. The next song, the EP’s title track, is a J.J. Cale-style shuffle, and it’s followed by a sparse, late-night ballad (“I Believe in Love”) and a grinding George Thorogood-esque rocker. “On Down the Road” ends with “Phrygian Dance,” a jazzy instrumental that echoes early Santana.

“My main goal as a musician is to create an original sound,” Fulks says. “I like all kinds of music, and even if the blues is the foundation of what I do, I was kind of influenced by everything and write songs in different kinds of

genres and try to put it all together.”

Fulks got his start playing guitar at age 13, inspired by his dad’s love of the blues.

But his first experience playing live was in the Praise Band at Pleasant Grove Christian Academy. He sees some similarities between the gospel and the blues, though.

“I think blues and gospel are both pretty spiritual,” he says. But it was all over for him once he heard Stevie Ray for the first time.

“A lot of it was his tone, the modern approach he brought to the blues at that time,” Fulks says. “Plus he had the image. He had the whole look down, and his music spoke volumes.”

Fulks honed his skills throughout his teens, and after a move to south Florida JL Fulks Ray and the players of today.” in 2011, he was spotted playing live by After eight months of touring with Sanveteran blues singer Brandon Santini, who recruited Fulks as his new lead guitarist. Fulks tini, Fulks, who will play at Chicora Alley in relocated to Memphis during this time and Greenville on Friday, began leading his own started digging into the roots of blues music. band and recording his own music, taking the “I went back and I learned from the greats,” lessons he learned as a sideman with him. “I he says, “and how it originally started and learned a lot from [Santini],” he says. “He progressed throughout the years to Stevie taught me the do’s and don’ts. It gave me an

opportunity to shine and to learn from the guys I was playing with. I learned a lot the whole time I was out there. I saw what it took to be a bandleader and I followed Brandon’s lead when I was preparing to do my own.”

It’s still hard to believe that at 26, Fulks has toured the country and released multiple albums and singles, and he says people are often surprised at his relative youth when they see him play. “I do get that pretty often,” he says. “I get called an old soul a lot. People have told me my sound is beyond my years, but I think that’s because I started playing and learning about the blues at such a young age, and I saw how it relates to everyday life.”

War Stories Four years after her ‘divorce record,’ Jill Andrews finds fresh collaborative energy in Music City VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR

vharris@communityjournals.com

NOVEMBER 23 ON SALE AT

10 AM

Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumours.” Richard and Linda Thompson’s “Shoot Out the Lights.”

Bob Dylan’s “Blood on the Tracks.” It seems that a lot of great artists have made a “breakup album” at some point in their careers.

Singer/songwriter Jill Andrews is no exception; in fact, you could argue that she’s made two of them.

As part of the Americana/alt-country band the everybodyfields, in 2007 Andrews and her then-bandmate and boyfriend Sam Quinn recorded the tellingly titled “Nothing Is Okay,” a series of sweet-and-sour duets that seemed to tell both sides of a deteriorating relationship. The band broke up

soon after that album, and in 2011 Andrews recorded her first solo album, the spare, haunting “The Mirror,” an album whose subject matter she makes no bones about. “In terms of writing the songs on ‘The Mirror,’ I was basically going through a divorce,” she says. “That’s what that record is: my divorce record. Everyone’s got to have one, right?”

Four years passed between “The Mirror” and Andrews’ new album, “The War Inside,” and there’s a world of difference between the two. Andrews moved from Knoxville to Nashville before recording the album, and in collaboration with producer/percussionist Will Sayles (Norah Jones, Michael W. Smith), Andrews created a new sound for herself, moving from stripped-down altcountry to a more layered, warmer style that weaves strings, horns and vocals together into a genre-free blend of pop, rock and folk. She might sing that she’s “not okay” on one of the album’s songs, but she’s certainly more upbeat and confident-sounding that she was before.

“I think it very much felt like a new chapter,” she says. “Both in the writing process and my personal life. I felt really creative as opposed to timid and unsure which I’d felt in the past. I think I was just really excited

The album, which was recorded over three years, was heavily influenced by Andrews’ new Nashville home, where co-writers and session musicians were plentiful. “To me it took the right amount of time,” she says. “I needed all of it.

Finding Her Entrance Greenville actress Reid Cox is living her dream in Hollywood ARIEL TURNER | CONTRIBUTOR

aturner@communityjournals.com

When actress Reid Cox, 24, was much younger, she wrote in her journal during a fight with her parents that the day after she graduated from high school she was going to jump in her car and drive to Hollywood.

That childhood threat became a literal reality: the day after she graduated from J.L. Mann High School, she packed up her car and headed west. She’s been working in Los Angeles in TV, including a guest role on MTV’s “Awkward,” and independent film ever since as an actress and now a producer.

And it is work, hard work, Cox is quick to emphasize. And potentially demoralizing to those not confident in their abilities or goals.

“I joke that it’s my job to get rejected for a living,” Cox says.

Working in an industry unashamedly focused on physical appearance and increas-

ingly revealed to be sexist toward women brings its own level of challenges.

“In LA, there’s a million girls that look like me,” she says. “I had an agent tell me my eyes were uneven so I’d always play the ugly girl.”

Cox says she has learned the importance of working with her integrity intact.

“LA will test you,” she says. “You have to remember who you are and not compromise or lower your boundaries.”

At first, desperate for work, she wasn’t going to rock the boat and just accepted her opinions being ignored, but she eventually regained her footing and learned to stand up for herself.

“I’m demanding not to be pushed to the side,” she says. “Things are changing. It’s the most incredible time to be working in this industry.”

Cox recently spent a weekend in Greenville promoting her first project as producer, “I Blame Monty Hall,” during the Reedy Reels Film Fest. She also used the time to speak to drama students at Eastside, Greenville and Travelers Rest high schools about setting goals for themselves in whatever field they chose.

“And whatever those goals are, go a step higher, make them a bit bigger,” Cox says.

“You have to be vocal about what you want.”

Cox says if she hadn’t set goals for herself in high school and really pushed to achieve them, she’d never have succeeded to this point.

A self-described wallflower while in school, Cox says she never did well in academics.

“I barely graduated,” she says.

She also failed to get into the Governor’s School and Fine Arts Center drama programs. But that didn’t discourage her.

“I knew I wanted to be in the movies,” she says. “I pushed myself.”

She focused on dance and studied film and acting every day – and still does.

At the time, local filmmaker Chris White was the drama teacher at J.L. Mann and saw

her potential. He helped connect her with his contacts in Hollywood.

“She’s one of those, who in a year, we’re all going to be saying ‘I know her,’” White says.

After a summer internship in a Los Angeles casting office before her senior year, Cox knew she was on the right path.

“I was living my dream,” she says.

Coming back to Greenville to finish her senior year felt like having her dream ripped away, she says.

Her singular focus became getting back to Hollywood, even though she did consider applying for Julliard or NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts drama programs. She decided against it because of the inevitable student debt that would weigh her down financially for years after graduating.

Throughout this whole process, she was fighting her own personal battle with an eating disorder, a common problem in Hollywood among men and women, Cox says.

Her family worried that moving so far away while she wasn’t healthy would be devastating. Cox says it was only after moving that she finally got the help she needed to overcome and heal.

She gained true closure over her disorder after playing an anorexic in “Mackenzie,” filmed earlier this year.

“I’m not afraid to talk about it anymore,” Cox says.

Why Use a REALTOR? All real estate licensees are not the same. Only real estate licensees who are members of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® are properly called REALTORS®. They proudly display the REALTOR “®” logo on the business card or other marketing and sales literature. REALTORS® are committed to treat all parties to a transaction honestly. REALTORS® subscribe to a strict code of ethics and are expected to maintain a higher level of knowledge of the process of buying and selling real estate.

An independent survey reports that 84% of home buyers would use the same REALTOR again.

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

But if you’re still not convinced of the value of a REALTOR®, here are a dozen more reasons to use one: 1. Your REALTOR® can help you determine your buying power -- that is, your financial reserves plus your borrowing capacity. If you give a REALTOR® some basic information about your available savings, income and current debt, he or she can refer you to lenders best qualified to help you.

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

all available properties.

3. Your REALTOR® can assist you in the selection process by providing objective information about each property. Agents who are REALTORS® have access to a variety of informational resources. REALTORS® can provide local community information on utilities, zoning, schools, etc. There are two things you’ll want to know. First, will the property provide the environment I want for a home or investment? Second, will the property have resale value when I am ready to sell?

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

The purchase agreement should provide a period of time for you to complete appropriate inspections and investigations of the property before you are bound to complete the purchase. Your agent can advise you as to which investigations and inspections are recommended or required.

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

Your REALTOR®, title company or attorney can help you resolve issues that might cause problems at a later date.

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

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

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

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

10. Your REALTOR® will know when, where and how to advertise your property. There is a misconception that advertising sells real estate.

The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® studies show that 82% of

real estate sales are the result of agent contacts through previous clients, referrals, friends, family and personal contacts. When a property is marketed with the help of your REALTOR®, you do not have to allow strangers into your home.

Your REALTOR® will generally prescreen and accompany qualified prospects through your property.

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

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

Your REALTOR® is the best person to objectively help you resolve these issues and move the transaction to closing (or settlement).

The National Association of Realtors®, “The Voice for Real Estate,” is America’s largest trade association, representing 1.1 million members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries.

Greater Greenville Association of REALTORS® represents over 2,300 members in all aspects of the real estate industry. Please visit the Greater Greenville Association of REALTORS® web site at www.ggar.com for real estate and consumer information.

As I’m writing this, the election is only two days past, and I think a lot of us will be debating the pros and cons of the electoral college over turkey this Thanksgiving. I personally am going to do my best to keep the table talk focused on actually giving thanks, and if that fails, I’ve studied up on which teams still have a viable path to the College Football Playoff.

No matter the topic of conversation, a pleasant setting can help keep the debate civil, if not polite. Usually, for Thanksgiving, I tend toward formal: the old Haviland china, the Hepplewhite sterling with a coin silver spoon for coffee, a white damask napkin in a sterling napkin ring and — my favorite touch — a nut dish with some sort of treat

like chocolate-covered almonds or even a few Hershey’s Kisses. Most likely I would set the table on a white damask cloth and use the crystal, of course.

A casual place setting has its appeal, too. I’d still use the sterling, but I’d switch to a heavy pottery plate and a print placemat. Large linen napkins are fun and practical. For a centerpiece, I would arrange my small collection of wooden candlesticks around a low wooden bowl filled with mixed autumn flowers or fill a rustic container with small pumpkins.

My favorite table setting in recent memory is a combination of the formal and the casual with a white damask tablecloth, barley twist GRATEFUL LIVING continued on PAGE 40

HOME The Abstract Art of Grateful Living

with Paula Angermeier GRATEFUL LIVING continued from PAGE 38

candlesticks and the good china and silver.

What makes it feel fresh are the flowers – or, more accurately, the lack of flowers. To create a centerpiece, I raided our produce basket in the kitchen for clementines and pomegranates, cut some magnolia leaves and picked up a few pine cones from the yard. I added a pumpkin brought in from the front porch. Easy peasy.

Other than turkey, we have three traditional dishes that must be served: cornbread dressing with sausage and pecans, sweet potato soufflé and Nannie’s corn pudding. This year I’m adding a mixed green salad topped with coarsely chopped roasted Brussels sprouts and butternut squash. Although I love making cranberry sauce from real cranberries, the Mister and the kids insist on sauce from a can. I used to make both, but, honestly, I have given up trying to convert them. There are worse things than canned cranberry sauce.

I do refuse to serve it as a cylinder to be sliced. Nevertheless, my little darlings – encouraged by the Mister – usually buy their own can and open it on the sly and then pass the condiment in its quivering, shimmering glory. And now I have to admit, it wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without it.

Whether you’re headed over the river and through the woods or just into the next room, I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration with people you love.

By day, Paula Angermeier is the head of communications for the Greenville County Museum of Art. By night, she writes about the art of living at TownandCountryHouse.com.

There is no place like home.

Let me help get you there.

HOME Realtors Can Gain a Competitive Edge

by Understanding Real Estate’s Top Issues in 2017

Classic. Timeless. Custom.

From $675K

Exclusive 24 Home Community Historic Augusta Road

Walk to Downtown Greenville, Fluor Field & The Swamp Rabbit Trail (864) 325-6266 • AugustaWalk.com

Housing affordability, demographic shifts and e-commerce’s impact on retail spaces are among the top pressing issues Realtors® should be knowledgeable about heading into 2017. That’s according to a forum on the emerging trends affecting real estate at the 2016 REALTORS® Conference & Expo.

Providing their timely insights on residential and commercial real estate were two speakers with leadership roles from the Counselors of Real Estate®: Scott Muldavin, 2017 chair, and Peter Burley, chair of the group’s external affairs committee. For the past five years, the committee has identified and released a top 10 list of the issues and developments that will define the real estate industry in the upcoming year.

Muldavin and Burley launched into the interactive discussion by talking about the current global and domestic opportunities and threats. Geopolitical and economic uncertainty, volatility in the energy markets and weaker trade volume could slow U.S. growth and lead to fewer job gains in the year ahead.

These set of dominoes – if prominent and prolonged – could have the potential to eventually trickle down and impact residential housing.

“The good news is that even with U.S. economic expansion at around 2 percent, the U.S. is still outperforming other major countries around the world,” said Muldavin.

Burley pointed out that demographic shifts are also poised to transform the real estate industry now that millennials have taken over baby boomers as the largest generation.

With a growing share of millennials now entering their mid-30s, an increasing number of them will be getting married and eventually having children. This points to strengthening demand for buying a home. Meanwhile, baby boomers’ tendencies to age in place creates opportunities for commercial real estate in the form of medical and assisted living facilities development.

On the topic of housing affordability, Burley said the lack of new supply coming onto the market has made purchasing a home more expensive. Furthermore, younger and older buyers are competing for the minimal available inventory in many of the same places. Adding more pressure is that while apartment construction has ramped up, rents are still outpacing incomes in many communities. This only adds to the pressure of aspiring homebuyers trying to save enough money for a down payment.

“Home prices have outstripped incomes and it makes it very challenging for millennials looking to buy,” Burley said. “As a result, rental demand is expected to remain very strong.”

The added pressure on suburbs to become more urbanized was also discussed during

the session. According to Burley, cities are expanding as people prefer to live in or immediately near urban cities. Those living in the suburbs still want to be within distance of walkable areas with a plethora of activities and unique experiences. This has resulted in the suburbs striving to become more urbanlike with mixed-used developments and office space.

“Suburban areas are adding urban amenities so that there’s an environment where people can live, work and play right outside of the core part of the city,” added Burley.

In the commercial real estate retail sector, the rapid rise in online shopping has led to major retailers adjusting accordingly by closing stores and shrinking their store footprints. One emerging trend in the industry is smaller “showroom” space with an online component where consumers can buy at the store and have the item shipped to their home within a few days. Another shift is that many new commercial construction projects are mixed-use developments with a variety of retail, food and housing. Muldavin said that there’s huge opportunity in secondary and tertiary markets for this type of development because retailers strive to be near walkable residential areas.

According to CRE, the full top 10 issues affecting real estate going into 2017 are: The changing global economy Debt capital market retrenchment Demographic shifts Densification/urbanization The political environment Housing affordability and credit constraints The disappearing middle class Energy The sharing and virtual economy The rise of experiential retail “Realtors® are futurists in the sense that you’re advising someone what may happen in the next few years as they’re in the process of buying or selling a home,” Muldavin said to the crowd full of Realtors® in attendance.

“Understanding these top 10 issues can increase your value to your clients while giving you a competitive advantage within your market.”

The National Association of Realtors®, “The Voice for Real Estate,” is America’s largest trade association, representing 1.1 million members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries.

Allen Tate Contributes $1.85 Million to Public Education Annual FUNday events help provide resources and fund programs for teachers and students

When it comes to buying or selling a home, one of the single most important factors is the quality of the schoolhouse at the end of the street. And Allen Tate Realtors® have found a way to positively influence that.

Each fall for the past 19 years, Allen Tate Realtors and employees have raised money for public education in the Carolinas through the Allen Tate FUNday event.

This year, the company raised more than $198,000, bringing the FUNday lifetime total to $1.85 million.

FUNday is a social event where agents and professional staff come together, with vendor sponsors, to “raise money for the kids.” What began as a single field day is now a multi-event extravaganza, with four regional events held throughout Allen Tate regions in North and South Carolina.

This fall’s events included a beach-

themed bash at the Hyatt Downtown in Greenville, S.C.; a semi-formal garden party at Paul J. Ciener Botanical Garden in Kernersville, N.C.; a tailgate celebration at the Dorothy and Roy Park Alumni Center at N.C. State University in Raleigh, N.C. and a field day at Northstone Country Club in Huntersville, N.C. Festivities varied by event, but included silent and live auctions, raffles, wine pulls, games, live music and other activities to raise funds for local schools and educational foundations.

“This year’s FUNday events were some of the best we’ve ever had. More than 1,000 Allen Tate agents, employees, sponsors and guests stepped up and raised the bar. To be able to contribute nearly $200,000 to benefit public education is simply amazing. I could not be more proud of the Tate people and community partners who made this happen,” said Pat Riley, president and CEO, Allen Tate Companies.

FUNday is part of the Tate Cares giving initiative, along with the company’s annual giving campaigns to benefit arts and cultural organizations and United Way agencies.

Radio Room | 2845 N. Pleasantburg Drive | 9 p.m. | $5 (over 21)/$7 (under) As part of the Upstate band the Jericho Bros., guitarist Mickey Kriese spent some time playing the band’s somewhat complex, instrumentally demanding brand of indie rock. It was fun, but as time went by both Kriese and Jericho singer Caleb Riley had the urge to do something a little more elemental on the side. That’s where their new band, The Trolls, came in. “Over the summer, Caleb and I sat down and talked about setting up a project together,” Kriese says.

“And we wanted to do something that was basic rock ’n’ roll. A no-frills power trio with a singer, that kind of thing. So we started writing with [bassist] David Walker, and the next thing you know we had eight songs. It’s been at breakneck speed.” After adding The Boo Jays’ Cinco Sanders on drums, the band is about to play their debut show, but Kriese says that there’s no pressure involved. “We just wanted to do something fun that gets people moving,” he says.

“We’re not trying to change the world or anything, just writing music people will enjoy. That’s why it’s worked.” —Vincent Harris

Calvin Edwards was born to play guitar. His father, who led a popular gospel group called the Southern Crusaders, taught Calvin to play when he was 6. Edwards toured and wrote with his father before moving on to a long stint with the Grammy-winning gospel group the Five Blind Boys of Alabama, which was a seminal, educational experience for Edwards. “I learned how to behave on the road from them,” he says. “I learned to always look professional and have a nice suit, and how to manage a band.” Edwards has been leading his own trio for 30 years, playing a blend of soul and jazz in the vein of Wes Montgomery or Jimmy Smith, and he recently released a new album called “Just Swing.” “You have to be an expert jazz musician to even think about playing in a trio,” Edwards says of his preferred format.

“You cannot hide behind anything. Anyone can solo at any given time. You don’t have horns or keyboards or another guitar to hide behind.” —Vincent Harris

Cosmic Charlie Gottrocks, 200 Eisenhower Drive | 9 p.m. | $10

Cosmic Charlie has been paying tribute to the Grateful Dead for 17 years, and they know the band’s catalog back to front. But most of the time when they go onstage, much like the venerable jam band they’re covering, they don’t have a plan. “We don’t walk onstage with a set list,” says guitarist Michael Wegner. But for their upcoming Gottrocks show, the band is tackling a truly revered Dead set: their triple-album live opus “Europe ’72,” which many connoisseurs consider to be the band’s best official live release, both in terms of improvisation and playing. “It’s a full night’s worth of their most classic songs,” Wegner says. “But we’re not specifically trying to recreate exactly that performance or even that sound for how the band sounded in 1972. We’re trying to use it as a foundation. We’ll do it different from the original album. We even segue some of the songs together in a way that they weren’t originally on the album, because a lot of times they’d move from one jam into another without a break.” —Vincent Harris

The dead were victims of the Pan Am 103 bombing that claimed 259 passengers and crew, and 11 people on the ground. Deborah Brevoort wrote her tribute to “The Women of Lockerbie” eight years before 9/11. Inspired by true events, “Lockerbie” depicts the extraordinary efforts of the town’s women to wash 11,000 pieces of clothing from the plane’s wreckage as both a practical and symbolic act of cleansing. Guest Jayce Tromsness directs.

Breaking News: Dogs & Cats Tie in Polls

While all you humans have been busy voting for the next president, we’ve been having our own election over here at Animal Care. The results are in and the polls say: dogs and cats are tied! Yes, that’s right - after surveying every pet at Animal Care and recounting the votes late into the night, neither species has come out ahead. I have to say, I’m not surprised! It’s a tough choice, but we’re challenging you to take the test.

Come vote by adopting a cat or a dog at Animal Care for only $35 and everyone will come out a winner.

When you adopt at Animal Care, you’re giving an animal a second chance. I can’t think of anything more rewarding.

Life Without Parole with Christopher Myers

Fear and Loathing in the Produce Section I can never find anything at the grocery store. In the aisles, I wander like a slowmotion Pac-Man, turning at random intervals in hopes of finding something edible. Simple grocery runs become Homerian (think Simpson, not blind poet) slogs. Eventually I arrive home with both a full beard and trunk, the latter loaded with cookie dough, potato chips and whatever the stir-fry lady happened to be demonstrating that day.

My latest adventure in grocery incompetence occurred just last week.

My Soulmate wrote out the shopping list, though to call such a document — tricolored, with more footnotes than the tax code, a map of the store to scale (fire extinguishers highlighted), a concordance and detailed descriptions of the items to be bought — just a list is like calling Liberace merely overdressed.

At the last minute she wrote on my hand with a Sharpie, “Baking soda is NOT baking powder.” Then she pinned the list to my shirt and warned me not to go down the beer aisle. “Remember what happened last time? The collapsed shopping cart?” I replied petulantly, “If there’s a weight limit, they ought to put up a sign.”

I arrived to find the assistant manager just inside the door, tying a string to the handle of a buggy. At the other end, near the ceiling, bobbed a big red balloon.

“Tracking system,” he explained. The PA system sounded overhead: “Impending cleanup, impending cleanup.”

My first stop was the produce section, which was packed. Trouble always starts in the produce section. If you’ve ever had to outrun a knuckle-dragging semiliterate for the last bunch of collards on New Year’s Eve, you know what I mean (and shame on you for tripping me).

I was minding my own business, listening to the faux rain on the cilantro, and wondering whether I should take a flyer on something called jicama when the trouble started. Among the usual crowd of sniffers and squeezers was an older man. With him was a little girl, probably his granddaughter. As I watched, the oldster took a handful of grapes, ate one and, with a wink, handed one to the girl.

She hesitated a second but, after a nod of encouragement, ate the fruit.

A lady — attractive, with green eyes and a set jaw — approached the man.

“You’re stealing,” she declared. Simple, straightforward, categorical. Traffic stopped, glances bounced, disapproval simmered. “How dare she?” said the accumulated zeitgeist. The lady, whose zeitgeist meter was broken, continued, “And the worst part is you’re teaching her to steal, too.”

People don’t like tension. People want life to be easy. This lady made it unpleasant. The lady, the man and the girl left, but the tension remained.

People blamed the lady. “She’s a gracist,” said a man next to me. I asked what that that meant. “It means she’s against old people.” Before I could digest this, another voice chimed in: “That’s not right,” said a woman whose shoes had toes. “A gracist is someone who doesn’t like grapes.” Murmurs of assent, dissent and horror rose from the crowd.

Things turned ugly. “You’re both wrong,” yelled a man with a cart full of tangerines, “Gracists hate dark grapes.”

There followed a heated discussion about whether one should call lighter grapes green or white, the debate escalating even as it splintered. Some blamed the little girl. Others defended her. “Her grandpa served her the grapes; it’s not her fault she had an illegal server.” Soon, everyone was yelling over the piles of fresh food, calling each other gracists. The fight was over, but the fight about the fight was just beginning.

Christopher Myers lives in Greenville, where his ramblings are ignored by his Soulmate, three dogs and friends with poor judgment. He never did get his jicama.
