GROWING GREENVILLE

LAURENS ROAD EXPANSION STORY BY ARIEL TURNER

RENDERING BY LMG ARCHITECTS

New 12-acre Laurens Road development snags Home Team BBQ and a brewery for Greenville Holland Park, a new 12-acre mixed-use development at 813 Laurens Road, will break ground in early 2019, bringing nationally recognized and Lowcountry favorite Home Team BBQ to Greenville along with a new entertainment experience-based brewery concept, Double Stamp Brewery; a half-acre of shaded, planned green space; and more than 18,000 square feet of additional office, retail, and restaurants.

Not only will it have direct access to the future Swamp Rabbit Trail extension, but the project will also include 175 parking spaces, which was a major deciding factor for Home Team.

“What’s really important to us is accessibility,” says Home Team’s chief operating partner and pitmaster Aaron Siegel. “How we win is attracting families. Having parking is important.”

The front 6 acres of Holland Park consists of a one-story, 5,500-square-foot restaurant for Home Team fronting Laurens Road; an approximately 18,000-squarefoot, three-story building also fronting Laurens, with ground-level retail or restaurants, and two upper levels of office space; Double Stamp Brewery behind Home Team; two shipping container restaurants across from the brewery; and Oak Tree Park, a park with 12 existing, 100-year-old oak trees that will provide a full canopy from the sun in the summer.

The back portion of the land, which is bordered by the under-construction Swamp Rabbit Trail extension, will remain undeveloped while this first phase is completed, and until the developer, J. Darryl Holland, a local real estate attorney, finds the right use for the land. He says he’s considering everything from multifamily to an entertainment amphitheater. The former senior living building on the left side of the property will be demolished in phase two, and that is also up for development

for the right tenant, Holland says.

Holland will relocate his law practice, J. Darryl Holland Law Firm, to the new office building, leaving 9,000 square feet of office space available to rent.

An anchor tenant the caliber of Charleston-based Home Team, which has received accolades from both print and TV national media since 2006, was a major score for Holland and further legitimizes Greenville’s growing culinary scene.

Siegel says Greenville was on their radar for what will be Home Team’s sixth location mostly because of their experiences cooking during the annual euphoria food, wine, and music festival. He and his partners saw the town was growing, and after opening a location in Aspen, Colorado, 2,500 miles away from home base, Greenville’s proximity to Charleston was a plus.

“I see it kind of being like Charleston was 15 years ago,” Siegel says.

“It’s kind of a sleeping giant. We want to be a part of what’s going on from a culinary standpoint.”

A development this size also confirms the Laurens Road corridor’s growth city officials have been predicting for the last few years, which in large part began with the 2014 announcement of Hollingsworth Park’s Verdae Development at the end of Laurens near Interstate 85.

On the portion of Laurens closest to downtown, Willy Taco Feed & Seed opened in December 2016 in a former feed-and-seed building at the East Washington Street and Laurens Road intersection. Projects in between the two are in the works, such as Think Tank Brew Lab, which proposes a small-scale Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.-like experience off Airport Road.

These projects, including Holland Park, are a direct result of the proposed Swamp Rabbit Trail extension that is in the works. Greenville County, which is managing the trail expansion, has removed the old rails and ties from the aban-

Holland Park

The new 12-acre mixed-use development at 813 Laurens Road will break ground in early 2019.

Here is what you can expect:

PHOTOS PROVIDED

Home Team has been eyeing Greenville’s growing food scene since taking

part in the annual euphoria food, wine, and music festival. Greenville will be the sixth location for the nationally-acclaimed restaurant. The menu will be consistent with prior locations offering multiregional barbecue along with creative sides, salads, and tacos. The bar selection has something for everyone with an expansive American whiskey selection, frozen cocktails, and local craft beer.

When J. Darryl Holland first began seeking tenants for Holland Park, he

knew he wanted to snag a brewery. And, not just any brewery. Holland says when he first heard about the Double Stamp brewery concept, he knew he had the “perfect fit.”

The Double Stamp partners will be announcing more details about their entertainment experience-based brewery concept.

Holland Park will have direct access to the Swamp Rabbit Trail extension

that is currently under construction. The extension will include a bridge – that’s both a pedestrian cycling path – at the intersection of Laurens and East Washington Street.

Phase two of the project will include the development of the land in front of the trail.

Multi-family or an entertainment amphitheater are under consideration for the space.

RETAIL & RESTAURANTS Now that Holland Park has Double Stamp and Home Team signed,

developer J. Darryl Holland will be on the search for other restaurant and retail tenants. There will be 9,000-square-feet available for rent in the first two levels of the office building that will front Laurens. Holland says there will also be two shipping container restaurants in front of the brewery.

DOWNTOWN GREENVILLE doned rail line, and plans call for a $1.5 million flyover bridge near Willy Taco and across Laurens Road to tie into city-owned property just north of the Spinx gas station and into Cleveland Park.

City of Greenville Mayor Knox White has been a champion for growth in this particular area of the city and helped connect Home Team with Holland.

“Laurens Road is the next big development area of the city with lots of opportunities,” he says. “Like all the other corridors, it’s affected by the rollout of the downtown development, and Laurens Road is poised to be the next.”

He cites the anticipation of the Swamp Rabbit Trail extension as an incentive for developers.

“Laurens Road has always been a through corridor and rather dowdy,” he says. “It’s really waking up.”

The construction and access requirements for Holland Park will call for wider sidewalks and landscaping that will spur further streetscaping improvements and redevelopment, White says.

For Holland, the project has been about 18 months in the making, with the land acquisition requiring six different closings over nine months. The first parcel was ac-

quired in August 2017, and the last of seven parcels total closed in May. Holland’s sole financial partner in the venture is Bank of Travelers Rest, with senior vice president Bob White working as the loan officer. Otherwise, Holland is self-funded, which is why he hasn’t yet marketed the available spaces, choosing instead to personally seek out tenants whom he has confidence will create the atmosphere he wants and draw in the community.

“I wanted to personally target tenants that I thought would be exciting for the project and for Greenville,” he says. “I wanted to bring concepts or brands that Greenville had never seen before in this market.”

His first target was a brewery, and Ryan Robertson with SVN BlackStream LLC connected him with a new local concept.

“Double Stamp Brewery turned out to be a perfect fit,” Holland says. “They signed on to be the first tenant and they brought an immediate energy to the project. I am very thankful to them for being the first to believe in Holland Park.”

The Double Stamp partners have chosen not to announce more details at this time.

Next up was a major restaurant anchor, and White knew Home Team was looking.

“Mayor White told me that bringing Home Team BBQ to Holland Park would help ignite the revitalization of Laurens Road and create another great entrance to our city,” Holland says.

Home Team BBQ was represented locally by Boyd Hipp with Highgarden Commercial Real Estate and in Charleston by Sean Litton with The Peninsula Co. Holland says he worked with Hipp and Litton for several months along with civil engineer John Connelly with Britt, Peters and Associates Inc. to make sure he could accommodate the large footprint that Home Team desired for their entrance into the Greenville market.

At the time, Home Team was also securing its newest location in Columbia, which will open in spring 2019, and the partners wanted to execute that lease before finalizing the Greenville location, Siegel says.

With that lease signed, Home Team is working with their architect on the final design for the restaurant that will also include 1,000 square feet of patio and have a large enough kitchen to meet the day-today needs and also operate the significant catering arm of the concept.

Home Team’s Greenville menu will be consistent with previous locations, offering

elevated yet approachable, multiregional barbecue paired with creative sides, salads, tacos, and more, in addition to chef-driven daily specials. The menu will also highlight a wide-ranging bar program featuring an expansive American whiskey selection, frozen cocktails, and local craft beer curated by director of operations Adam Rothstein.

Siegel says he and his partners will be active in the Greenville location’s operations to guarantee consistency and quality throughout all six locations.

“We think we’ve got the structure to handle this experience,” he says. “We’re not franchising. We’ll be as serious as a heart attack as to how things go up there.”

Holland says that having been in the permitting process with the city of Greenville for about six months and nearing completion, an early first-quarter groundbreaking could put the opening of both Home Team and Double Stamp Brewery in late 2019.

“We know that there are a lot of folks from Greenville who are excited,” Siegel says. “It feels good to know that folks are excited about your arrival. It makes us want to work hard to fill the expectations.”

See how Greenville County Schools fared on state report cards ARIEL GILREATH | STAFF

agilreath@communityjournals.com

For the first time in four years, parents can see school ratings on the 2018 report cards, which the South Carolina Department of Education released Thursday afternoon.

The report cards are a complete overhaul from ones in prior years and feature more data than ever before.

“The report cards unveiled today are the culmination of many years of South Carolina’s hard work to design a rigorous accountability system that uses multiple measures to show the public the overall performance of our schools and districts,” state Superintendent of Education Molly Spearman said in a statement. “I encourage students, parents, and school communities to take an in-depth look and celebrate their successes and collaborate on areas where we need to improve.”

The schools are graded based on performance in several categories — academic achievement, preparing for success, English learners’ progress, student progress, and school quality — but the report cards also feature data that didn’t factor in to the school’s overall score, such as student safety and financial data.

One new metric this year grades elementary and middle schools on student growth, which is a boost for schools with traditionally low-performing populations because it tracks how far students progressed, rather than just academic performance.

Some of the new data come from federal mandates in the Every Student Succeeds Act, which requires data from the Office of Civil Rights to be included. New to the report cards are school safety data featuring the number of sexual assaults, threats, and attacks in the schools and districts — although the safety data is from the 2015-16 school year because of a lag in how the records are obtained.

The rating metrics have brought criticisms from some school leadership — administrators with Greenville County

Schools had a list of qualms about the data, including the idea that there are a pre-set number of “Excellent” and “Unsatisfactory” schools.

The Education Oversight Committee and the state department determined 15 percent of schools would fall in the “Excellent” range, 20 percent would be “Good,” 35 percent would be “Average,” 20 percent would be “Below Average,” and 10 percent would be “Unsatisfactory” based on the state’s scores for the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) — known as the nation’s report card.

GCS Superintendent Burke Royster released a statement on Nov. 29 afternoon questioning the validity of the scores.

Of the 86 Greenville County Schools eligible for ratings: n 20 schools scored Excellent n 24 schools scored Good n 30 schools scored Average n 7 schools scored Below Average n 5 schools scored Unsatisfactory “The requirement that school ratings in South Carolina ‘match’ the performance of SC students on the NAEP exams is inherently flawed because it requires a certain number of schools in each ratings category,” he said. “Although this decision ties back to a federal requirement, the EOC created a system of limitations so a predetermined number of our schools fall under each category, which is not specifically required by the federal government. If the desire is to raise the quality of South Carolina schools, our state should set standard thresholds to give schools clear, measureable goals.”

But Melanie Barton, executive director of the Education Oversight Committee, said the report cards are more

We always let you know who will be there when you open the door!

BURKE ROYSTER GCS Superintendent

transparent to the public than ever.

“Some districts like it because they embrace the accountability and transparency of the data, other districts don’t,” Barton said.

Royster was not alone in criticizing the validity of report card ratings — the Post and Courier reported that officials in Berkeley County and Charleston County school districts also questioned the ratings.

“We are concerned with any report card system that materially conflicts with other established standards of excellence,” Royster said. “For example, Greenville High School is highly ranked

by U.S. News and World report, but it is rated as Average under this system.

Skyland Elementary and Bethel Elementary, both rated as Average under this system, are National Blue Ribbon Schools of Excellence. Additionally, some of our most desirable schools, in terms of parent choice, do not have high ratings under this system. It is our belief that the people of Greenville County have a better understanding of the quality of our schools than does this new report card system.”

Greenville County Schools

Of the 86 Greenville County Schools eligible for ratings, 20 schools scored Excellent, 24 schools scored Good, 30 schools scored Average, seven schools scored Below Average, and five schools scored Unsatisfactory.

For elementary and middle schools, most of a school’s score comes from academic achievement and student progress. For high schools, academic achievement, graduation rate, and college and career readiness are the most weighted indicators.

Overall, Greenville County Schools performed above the state average in most areas, although the district lagged behind the state for its Eng-

lish Language Learners’ Progress — only 47.5 percent of English learners in Greenville County Schools met the progress goals for proficiency, compared with the statewide average of 48.6 percent.

The report cards underscore wide disparities among historically underserved groups and white students in the county — only 28 percent of white fourth-graders in the district performed “Below Basic” on the reading portion of the nation’s report card compared with 60 percent of black students, and only 15 percent of black students met the criteria for “Proficient” or “Advanced.”

The disparities can be tracked to school-wide performance, as well — Tigerville Elementary School, which had six black students in the school at the start of the year, had 71.7 percent of its students meet or exceed expectations on the ACT College and Career Readiness assessment for English language arts.

Only 25.2 percent of students at Thomas E. Kerns Elementary — whose enrollment is 56 percent black, 26 percent Hispanic, and 13 percent white — met or exceeded expectations on the same test.

But a few schools in the county buck the trend — A.J. Whittenberg Elementary School of Engineering sits in downtown Greenville and has a population of 52 percent black students, 7 percent Hispanic, and 29 percent white. The school outperformed the district and state averages on the College and Career Readiness assessments and the science portion of the SC PASS test.

The overall graduation rate for Greenville County Schools was 83.6 percent, surpassing the state average of 81 percent. But while Greenville’s graduation rate is above the state average, it’s lower than last year’s rate of 87.3 percent.

Principal of Taylors Elementary School

LEAH STAFFORD

Asst. Principal of Simpsonville Elementary School

Two Greenville County Schools leaders were ranked at the top among their peers Friday by the South Carolina Association of School Administrators (SCASA).

Principal Rhonda Rhodes of Taylors Elementary School was named the 2019 SCASA Elementary Principal of the Year, and Assistant Principal Leah Stafford of Simpsonville Elementary was named the 2019 SCASA Elementary Assistant Principal of the Year.

Each year SCASA, a statewide organization for school administrators, selects the top candidates for principals and assistant principals at the elementary, middle, and high school levels.

Greenville County Schools swept the elementary awards for 2019.

The criteria for both awards are set by the National Association of Elementary School Principals.

Both administrators were surprised by the news at assemblies Friday

morning, where students and family members greeted them with signs and applause.

Rhodes, who has led Taylors Elementary for five years, received her master’s in educational leadership and administration from Clemson University. Prior to Taylors Elementary, she worked for the School District of Oconee County and Anderson School District 1.

“I try to run my school like I run my family. These kids are my family, my students are my family,” Rhodes said.

“I think that’s the heart of leadership — is to inspire others to see it [leadership] in themselves and to find their own ways.”

In a statement, Jackie Earle, principal of Simpsonville Elementary, said Stafford puts her students first.

“She works hard with the faculty and staff to improve instructional practices while always remembering that students need to love learning,” Earle said. “Leah inspires the students to become lifelong learners through her daily interaction with them. She

realizes that it is a cooperative effort from all aspects of a child’s life that helps to nurture a child’s inquisitive spirit.”

Stafford has been at Simpsonville Elementary for three years. She received a graduate degree from Grand Canyon University in curriculum instruction and literacy, and a degree from Southern Wesleyan University in elementary education administration and supervision. Prior to Taylors Elementary, she worked at Chandler Creek Elementary School and Heritage Elementary School.

“Our role in elementary school is to really let the kids have fun and be engaged and [get them] viewing this as a great place to be, a place they want to come to every day,” Stafford said. “A lot of times, assistant principals are looked at as just discipline or just management or just textbooks or just buses, but I think, especially assistant principals, have this unique gift of taking that role and expanding it further, looking for unique opportunities to build through that.”

Greer rebidding downtown streetscape project CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Greer is rebidding its Greer Station streetscape after the lone bid came in millions of dollars more than what the city had estimated the project would cost.

Sossamon Construction Co. of Gaffney submitted the only bid for the project earlier this month, but its price of $11,757,837.95 exceeded the city’s $7 million budget.

New bids will be opened Dec. 12.

Greer City Administrator Ed Driggers said the project remains on schedule for a June 30, 2020, completion.

The centerpiece of the project is the transformation of Trade Street.

Gone will be the curb and gutters.

So will the traditional sidewalks, landscaping, and benches. In its place will be one continuous surface made up of different-colored pavers that designate areas for vehicle traffic and parking, as well as for pedestrian traffic. When Trade

Street is closed for an event, it will all become one large pedestrian area through a shared street design more commonly found in Europe.

In addition to Trade Street, the project comprises the area between Main, Poinsett, and Randall streets, including Victoria, School, and Depot streets.

The Greenville County Legislative Delegation Transportation Committee and the city worked on value-engineering options in an effort to reduce the cost of construction.

“We have an obligation to our community to be conscious of the overall budget while delivering the quality promised in this project,” Driggers said. “Greer City Council mandated that this work be done with no millage or business license increase, and we will honor that commitment.

Rebidding the project should not cause any construction delays, as work wasn’t scheduled to begin until January after the Christmas shopping season.

CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

Because of an ordinance designed to keep skateboards out of its central business district, Greenville has been left out of the latest personal transportation craze to sweep through downtowns across the country — electric scooters.

But that could change.

The Greenville City Council is beginning to look at whether the ordinance should be revised.

Two companies have already approached the city about putting the ride-sharing devices downtown, assistant city attorney Bob Coler told members of the Greenville City Council Committee on Public Safety and General Government. Razor USA did not pursue it after being told about the ordinance. Bird, a Santa Monica, Californiabased company, applied for a business license but the city put it on hold pending more information, Coler said. Bird has scooters in more than 100 cities, including Charlotte, Atlanta, and Raleigh.

Greenville’s ordinance prohibits roller

PROS & CONS

Electric scooters are currently outlawed in downtown Greenville and on any streets with speed limits of 30 mph or higher anywhere in the city.

But city officials are looking at whether that should change.

skates, in-line skates, skateboards, coasters, or similar devices from operating on streets with speed limits of 30 mph or higher, cityowned or leased parking garages and surface lots, or any sidewalks or streets in downtown. Segways are allowed because of a state law that gives them the same rights as a pedestrian, Coler said.

Some scooter companies allow cities to limit hours and location of operation, said Edward Kinney, Greenville’s senior landscape architect who oversees the city’s Bikeville program. For instance, Charlestonbased Gotcha uses a “geo fence” to limit app access and scooter speed outside of approved zones, and users can be assessed additional fees, he said.

Some companies share revenue or allow cities to impose a per-trip fee that could be used for transit-oriented infrastructure costs.

Julie Horton, Greenville’s governmental relations manager, told the council committee that the city continues to be approached about electric scooters. She said that while city staff presented committee members with “Scooter 101,” it was not making a rec-

PROS • Allows riders to travel to areas that are too far to walk without having to use their cars.

• Decreased fossil fuel emissions.

• Studies say women prefer scooters over bike sharing because they are easier to ride in skirts and heels.

• Provides a “last mile” transportation option that Greenville currently doesn’t have.

• Would allow hospitality workers the option to park at larger, less expensive parking areas and ride into work.

ommendation on whether the ordinance should be changed.

Cities nationwide have been grappling with how to regulate the scooters.

In North Carolina, the city of Charlotte’s Department of Transportation unveiled a draft of its e-scooter plan last week.

According to the plan, nearly 440,000 trips have been taken on electric scooters since they arrived in Charlotte in May as part of a shared mobility pilot program. Riders have traveled more than 1.5 million miles.

Charlotte’s plan allows riders to use escooters on sidewalks except in the congested business district. Users would be required to park e-scooters upright and within eligible parking areas. Users would be prohibited from parking e-scooters in any manner that blocks the sidewalk or reduces its width to less than 6 feet.

Some cities, including St. Louis, are trying to use e-scooters as a channel of transportation for underserved communities. But it hasn’t been as successful as hoped because users must have a credit card, said Anna Catherine Thornley, the city’s downtown project manager.

CONS • Not all city streets have bicycle lanes for scooters to use.

• It’s more difficult for drivers to see scooter riders than bicyclists.

• Scooters in other cities have been vandalized. There are concerns scooters could be thrown off the Liberty Bridge and end up in the Reedy River.

• Some Greenville residents don’t have smart phones and could not activate a scooter.

• Uneven pavement, potholes and loose gravel could create a safety concern for riders.

Greenville could hire a construction manager at risk for its new Augusta Street fire station this month.

Construction of the new facility, which will be built on Faris Road just down the block from the current station, is expected to begin in June, said Greenville Deputy Fire Chief Brian Horton.

The new station is part of a years-long effort to improve the city’s fire stations and response times. The city opened a new fire station on Verdae Boulevard last year to help meet the needs of the growing Woodruff Road, Verdae Boulevard, and CU-ICAR corridor.

The construction manager would work with the architect and contractor to deliver a new station for a guaranteed maximum price.

The current Augusta Street station is nearly 70 years old, and its bays are too small to accommodate today’s fire trucks. The city has to special order trucks to fit. In addition, firefighter living quarters are on the second floor and there’s no fire protection between floors. The building has no sprinkler system and the second-story sleeping quarters windows are sealed shut.

Horton said the two-bay, two-story station would contain 12,908 square feet and would cost $3.7 million. Site development, streetscaping and underground storm water retention would cost another $781,900. Matt Efird, Greenville’s budget administrator and interim assistant to the city manager, said the city has enough money set aside that it wouldn’t have to borrow money to pay for the station’s construction.

Once the new station is built, Cothran Properties will redevelop the current station, according to a development agreement approved by the Greenville City Council earlier this year. The agreement prevents the developer from demolishing the old station for 10 years. In exchange for the old station, the city is getting a parcel needed to build the new station.

GRAVE WARNING

OUTSIDER

3 ways climate change could impact the Upstate STO RY BY AN DR E W MOOR E

HEAT WAVES

A scientific report recently issued by 13 federal agencies paints a troubling picture of what could await the Upstate if significant steps aren’t taken to address climate change.

The 1,600-page report is the second volume of the Fourth National Climate Assessment (NCA4), which reviews the science of climate change and details the devastating effects it could have on communities across the United States. It was produced by the U.S. Global Change Research Program, a consortium of more than 300 government and independent scientists, including a social environmental geographer at the University of South Carolina.

Ultimately, the report, which was mandated by Congress, “concludes that the evidence of human-caused climate change is overwhelming and continues to strengthen, that the impacts of climate change are intensifying across the country, and that climate-related threats to Americans’ physical, social, and economic well-being are rising.”

As the report notes, climate change will have a number of impacts on the country, including dwindling water supplies, agricultural declines, infectious disease outbreaks, destructive sea-level rise, an increase in certain natural disasters, and billions of dollars in economic losses.

Here are some ways the Upstate could be impacted over the next few decades:

The increased presence of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere could result in unprecedented warming by the end of the 21st century.

NCA4 NOTES

South Carolina’s geographic position gives it a humid, subtropical climate with hot summers and mild winters. But the increased presence of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere could result in unprecedented warming by the end of the 21st century, including more heat waves during the summer months, according to the NCA4.

“Sixty-one percent of major Southeast cities are exhibiting some aspects of worsening heat waves, which is a higher percentage than any other region of the country,” the report says.

In addition to heat waves, the NCA4 notes that the number of days with high minimum temperatures (nighttime temperatures that stay above 75 degrees Fahrenheit) has been increasing across the Southeast, and some areas could see an additional 100 “very warm nights” per year by the end of the century.

South Carolina has experienced an “above average” number of very warm nights since the early 1980s, according to the NCEI. The highest number of very warm nights occurred from 2010 to 2014, with an average of eight nights per year, more than double the long-term average.

“Exposure to high nighttime minimum temperatures reduces the ability of some people to recover from high daytime temperatures, resulting in heat-related illness and death,” the NCA4 says. “This effect is particularly pronounced in cities, many of which have urban heat islands that already cause elevated nighttime temperatures.”

FLOODING

Extreme rainfall events have increased in frequency and intensity in the Southeast, and there is high confidence they will continue to increase in the future.

NCA4 NOTES

While future changes in precipitation remain uncertain, extreme precipitation is projected to increase across South Carolina and other parts of the Southeast due to climate change, according to the NCA4.

“Extreme rainfall events have increased in frequency and intensity in the Southeast, and there is high confidence they will continue to increase in the future,” the report says.

Since the start of the 21st century, South Carolina has experienced a “below normal number of extreme precipitation events,” according to the NCEI. The NCA4, however, notes that high-intensity hurricanes are expected to become more common in the future due to climate change, potentially causing local waterways to flood and cause damage.

In the Upstate, the Reedy River is known to swell during extreme rainfall events and flood areas throughout Greenville. That includes the Swamp Rabbit Trail and Cleveland Park, both of which sit in low lying areas along the banks of the river.

An increase in extreme rainfall events due to climate change could also lead to increased levels of water pollution due to stormwater runoff, which occurs when rain falls but there is more water than the land can absorb, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.

In urban or developed areas, the excess water flows across pavement and parking lots, picking up oil and other pollutants before flowing into a nearby river or stream.

AIR QUALITY

Some 28,000 tons of air pollutants are emitted each year across the Upstate, according to the EPA’s National Air Toxic Assessment.

Climate change, however, is expected to worsen air pollution throughout the Southeast as the concentration of ground-level ozone is stoked by heat waves and methane emissions.

“The major urban centers in the Southeast are already impacted by poor air quality during warmer months,” the NCA4 says. “Increases in precipitation and shifts in wind trajectories may reduce future health impacts of ground-level ozone in the Southeast, but warmer and drier autumns are expected to result in a lengthening of the period of ozone exposure.”

Ozone forms when pollutants emitted by cars, power plants, industrial boilers, refineries, chemical plants, and other sources react chemically in the presence of sunlight, according to the EPA. At ground-level, ozone is considered a pollutant that can impact children’s health and development and increase the risk of heart disease, lung cancer and asthma attacks, according to the American Lung Association.

Climate change creates conditions, including heat and stagnant air, which increase the risk of unhealthy ozone levels, according to the American Lung Association. These conditions also increase the risk of wildfires, a major source of particle pollution.

Particle pollution is a mixture of tiny particles and droplets made up of dirt, dust, soot, smoke, and liquid compounds. Exposure to this type of air pollution can increase the risk of serious health effects, including heart attacks and lung cancer.

Southeast EPA administrator resigns following indictment The Environmental Protection Agency’s top official for the Southeast has resigned after being indicted on state ethics charges in Alabama.

Trey Glenn, who oversaw South Carolina and seven other states in the Southeast as the EPA’s Region 4 administrator, was indicted earlier this month on charges of using his office for personal gain and soliciting or receiving a “thing of value” from a principal or lobbyist, according to the Alabama Ethics Commission.

The charges against Glenn and a former business partner, Scott Phillips, stem from their work with a coal company to stall the cleanup of a polluted site in north Birmingham.

Glenn submitted his resignation on Nov. 18 to acting EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler.

Wheeler’s chief of staff, Ryan Jackson, announced earlier this month that Mary Walker, the region’s deputy administrator, would become acting administrator for the EPA’s Region 4 office. Walker previously served as the regional director of the Water Protection Division.

The EPA’s Region 4 office is headquartered in Atlanta and encompasses eight states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

LAWN & LANDSCAPES

The birds, the bees, & the butterflies If you’re looking for a backyard-enhancement, here’s an idea that’s a little outside the box: add a chicken coop, beehive, or butterfly garden. Not only are you gaining a hobby, there are also added benefits for your yard and the environment.

Check out the information below for tips.

1 Chicken Coop With the right preparation, raising chickens can be a relatively easy, inexpensive hobby.

Check out www.backyardchickens.com for tips. Once you’re set up, the chickens will supply fresh eggs and manure for your garden.

2 Beehive Bees need a few things to survive: sun, afternoon shade, fresh water near their hive, and space. As a beekeeper, you’ll need your gloves, helmet, and veil. For more information visit www.backyardbees.com.

What’s your question?

Each week, local experts will answer questions from readers about lawns, landscapes and gardens.

To submit your question, visit our website: GreenvilleJournal.com/homes.

3 Butterfly Garden Make sure you have various nectar plants that butterflies feed on, host plants that butterflies lay eggs on, and the caterpillars they like to eat. Make your garden more attractive to butterflies with a house and feeders.

4 The Outcome Your garden will either reap the rewards of the chicken manure or the bees’ and butterflies’ pollination. And since honey bees and some butterfly species have declined from urbanization, disease, and environmental factors, hosting these insects can help stabilize their population.

ALL THE BIG NAMES ARE HERE.

Named one of South Carolina’s “10 Best Attractions,” by 2018 USA TODAY 10Best and as one of the Top Three Things to Do in Greenville by U.S. News & World Report Travel, the Greenville County Museum of Art is home to the world’s largest public collection of watercolors by renowned American artist Andrew Wyeth.

CHALK GENIUS

MATTEO MILES S T O RY B Y S A R A P E A R C E PHOTOS BY WILL CROOKS

atteo Miles isn’t a starving artist; in fact, he says he’s quite “well-fed.”

Miles, whose real name is Matthew Gutierrez, is the quintessential up-andcoming young artist who is willing to go where the work takes him. But Miles says he has plenty of work to keep him busy.

Miles works at Aloft Greenville Downtown as both a bartender and an artist. He started at Aloft when it opened about two years ago and has since begun making the lobby more welcoming with his unique chalk murals about current happenings in Greenville. He travels to other Aloft hotels for murals and works with AC Hotels, as well.

“I update the murals about once a month and completely redo them with the seasons,” he says. Miles, who says he has always had a passion for art, never expected to work with chalk murals or in hotels, but he is always hungry for the next project, whatever it might be.

At 23, he has lived in Greenville for about nine years since his family moved from Pasadena, California, after watching an episode of HGTV’s “Flip This House” and thinking it looked like a nice place to live.

In addition to working with Aloft on its unique wall art, he helps with window art at Paw Paws USA, Blueberry Frog, Yee Haw Brewery, Cantina 76, and other plac-

es around town. He does his own tattoo art, as well as pet portraits.

He will be completing his first exterior mural, which will focus on Greenville’s history and legacy, on the outside of East Broad Street’s new Hyatt Place hotel, which is set to be completed in January 2019.

“I feel like I don’t have a niche that I consistently do; I just enjoy painting all types of things. Oil paint on canvas and panel is one of my favorites, and then chalk and pastel,” Miles says. “I’ve been trying to build singular collections that focus on one medium and one concentration.”

Miles began doing portraits of pets while working at Aloft, a dog-friendly ho-

tel that allows guests to stay with their dogs and bring them to the bar. It even has an adoption program through Lucky Pup Rescue SC, which has placed about 80 dogs.

“I feel like working in the hotel business as an artist is a great way to meet a lot of people and make connections for work,” he says. “The dog portraits just fell in my lap, like a lap dog!”

Miles hopes to continue to grow, learn, and delve deeper into the Greenville art community.

“I would like to talk more with other artists consistently and be a closer part of that community here,” he says.

Miles also boasts another unique interest. He is in school studying to be a mortician. While the two careers may seem to have little in common, he thinks otherwise. “I think arts and sciences merge well. I always grew up drawing out of anatomy books,” he says.

He has been able to bring art into that world, as well, as he has painted portraits of loved ones who have passed away. Miles finds a way to integrate his love for art into anything he is doing, and he doesn’t plan to stop anytime soon.

“There’s this scene in ‘Big Eyes’ where [Margaret Keane] is just painting up in the attic, painting on canvas and drinking her tea, and that’s just the goal for me one day. That would be really amazing working as a full-time artist,” Miles says.

As he continues his schooling as a mortician, he will transition to learning about forensic pathology, and working as an artist the rest of the time.

“Art is the lifetime,” Miles says. “Mortician and forensic pathology is amazing, but I won’t let art as my passion take a back seat.”

ART IS THE LIFETIME.

‘The Best Christmas Pageant Ever’ brings families together—fictional and real-life MELODY CUENCA | STAFF

mwright@communityjournals.com

Known as ‘the worst kids in the history of the world,’ the six Herdman siblings shake up the town’s annual holiday pageant in an unexpected way in “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” by South Carolina Children’s Theatre.

Imogene, Claude, Ralph, Leroy, Ollie, and Gladys Herdman were abandoned by their father and have a mother who works two jobs.

Left to tend to themselves, the siblings are quite the troublemakers and bullies. However, the pageant changes them just as they change the pageant.

Betsy Bisson, SCCT artistic/education director, calls the play a “great story of redemption.” “It is a great holiday tradition for families to do together,” she says. “I hope [audiences] leave with a real appreciation for their own families and maybe pause to think how difficult that first Christmas was for Mary, or any new mom.”

Bisson directs this holiday production and unusually large 52-member cast. “Due to the

nature of the casting needs, we were able to cast parents and kids together, which is always cool,” Bisson says.

One mother-daughter duo, Jenny Humphries and 10-year-old Maddie Humphries, makes their MainStage debut in “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever.” Maddie has been taking classes at SCCT for seven years now, and her mother has been taking the adult classes. In this production, Jenny Humphries plays the role of church lady Vera Clark, and Maddie Humphries is in the angel choir.

“It has been a blast doing a show with Maddie,” Jenny Humphries says. “Towards the end of rehearsals, the cast spends a lot of time at the theater, so it’s really nice to spend that time together.” Also making it a memorable experience is the fact that several other parent-child combos were cast in the show.

“It adds to the feeling of the cast becoming a family throughout the process of the show,” she says.

The opening performances were so well received that an additional Saturday, Dec. 8, evening show was added to the schedule. “‘The Best Christmas Pageant Ever’ is a great way to get into the holiday spirit,” Jenny

Humphries says.

Another family actor pair in the show, firsttimer Hunter Weekes and son Adam Weekes, play the roles of Reverend Hopkins and Charlie Bradley, a frequent target of Leroy Herdman. Adam Weekes, age 11, has participated in SCCT summer workshops over the past few years and been in two MainStage productions.

“It’s a lot of fun for both of us,” Hunter Weekes says. “Adam really enjoys the process, and it has truly been a privilege for me to get to be so involved. It’s been a great bonding experience and will be a memory that will last forever.”

The fun atmosphere created by the diverse cast is one of Hunter Weekes’ favorite aspects of the production. “The cast members are great kids, encouraging one another and celebrating each other’s progress and accomplishments,” he says.

Hunter Weekes agrees with Jenny Humphries that “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” is a must-see this holiday season—for young and old. “The story is fun, funny and heartwarming,” he says. “But, the awesome cast and crew really bring it together.”

Growing record label, Real South Records, hosting music fest at Radio Room VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER

vharris@communityjournals.com

D.J. Edwards has spent the last two years bringing a diverse and talented group of South Carolina musicians to his record label, Real South Records. He and his team have created a roster that includes Upstate folk-rocker Darby Wilcox, the indie-pop bands Whitehall and Tom Angst, hip-hopper Abstract-That Rapper, veteran Charleston punk rockers Hybrid Mutants, and more, and he says his label’s goal is a simple one: Do everything the musicians themselves don’t do, whatever that might be.

“That could mean marketing,” Edwards says, “or distribution. It could mean booking shows. It could mean budgeting and organization. Ultimately, we’re just trying to be a liaison between the South Carolina music scene and the rest of the country.”

Edwards studied audio engineering at Clemson and worked at the university’s radio station, and during that time he took in the local and regional music scenes and noticed a harmful flaw.

“I felt like the music business in South Carolina was really lacking in foundation, and it was really difficult for bands to get off the ground,” he says. “There weren’t a lot of positive role models or examples around.”

And that doesn’t just apply to the business side of music; Edwards is talking about the racial and gender makeups of the state’s various music scenes, as well.

“I wanted to grow with a roster that represented South Carolina in terms of gender, race, and sexuality,” he says. “I really wanted to make sure that it didn’t wind up being a bunch of bands that were all straight white guys. And I feel like because I went to Clemson for audio engineering and worked at the radio station there, that gave me a lot of the skill set I needed to run a label.”

“Running a label” is a vague term; what Edwards really means is “everything from recording studio stuff to event organization to artist management; all of that. I just kind of have been navigating myself into this position for the past eight years.”

One of Edwards’ responsibilities is promoting his label and his bands, and he’s done both by creating a multiband festival called “Real South Rex Fest,” which will take place at Radio Room in Greenville on Saturday. In addition to Wilcox, Tom Angst, Hybrid Mutants, and the headliners, Whitehall, the schedule includes Charleston hip-hop artist Abstract That Rapper, the folk-punk project Haunters, and the garage-rock of Motel Glory.

The previous edition of the festival was held in Charleston, but Edwards says his goal is to have the event bounce from city to city across the state each year.

“I’ve been going to shows at the Radio Room since 2010,” Edwards says, “and they really are the venue that supports the local scene in Greenville.”

When it came to creating the lineup, Edwards says the criterion was simple: Invite as many Real South bands as possible.

To his mind, every band on the schedule has something to offer to those who might aspire to make music for a living.

“It’s not just about letting people know about the label,” Edwards says. “It’s also about putting a bunch of positive role models on the front lines. As young artists who are involved in the music scene, to see them up onstage, it’s going to motivate people to give them goals to work towards.”

Mobile Meltdown

FOOD TRUCK SERVES HAND-HELD COMFORT FOOD

STORY BY ARIEL TURNER | PHOTOS BY WILL CROOKS LAUREN KULESZ

Soft white bread and Kraft yellow American singles are the ingredients of childhood memories.

Add butter and heat, and those simple components become a grilled cheese – probably the gooiest, most satisfyingly consistent, cross-generational comfort food in a home cook’s arsenal.

And Lauren Kulesz, owner of new food truck Mobile Meltdown, knows all about that.

The former Oobe apparel designer recalls her mom’s keeping their family dinners fairly simple, and grilled cheese was often on rotation. So when sorting through 10-15 years of ideas for a restaurant she would run, the concept of grilled cheese kept popping up.

“It’s universally loved,” she says.

She says the purpose of her venture at its core is to bring people together and give them comfort food, which, for her, normally means gravitating toward pizza, pasta, or grilled cheese. Looking at the other food truck and restaurant options in Greenville, the latter seemed to be missing. And versatility was a key deciding factor.

Grilled cheese options and variations are endless, Kulesz says, calling cheese and bread a “blank canvas.”

“You can build upon it and create a lot of different types of sandwiches,” she says.

The Mobile Meltdown menu is simple. Sides include tomato basil bisque, deep-fried mashed potato balls, and house-made chips, and the four sandwiches showcase a range of sweet, savory, and spicy while catering to a variety of tastes.

First, The Classic – white American cheese served on freshly baked bread from the Publix bakery – is one Kulesz says will be a constant on the menu even as she experiments with other combinations.

Next, Brie & Bacon – double cream brie and crispy bacon with a drizzle of raspberry reduction glaze served on a freshly baked butter croissant – is a rendition of a traditional baked brie in puff pastry Kulesz makes for Christmas each year.

The Spicy Pig – hot capocollo ham and a manchegoJarlsberg cheese blend, topped with a sprinkle of diced jalapenos and a drizzle of balsamic reduction glaze and served on freshly baked bread – was inspired by an annual tapas-and-wine party Kulesz threw for her friends and family. The original version that she couldn’t make fast enough for her guests’ appetites included chorizo, manchego, roasted red peppers, and balsamic on French bread. She took that base and tweaked it with help from taste-testing friends into the current savory and slightly spicy version on the menu.

And lastly, the Vegan It Too is a completely plantbased sandwich with house-made herb cashew cheese, baby portabello mushrooms and spinach sauteed in garlic, and balsamic vinegar, served on vegan white bread. Kulesz added this to the line-up when planning her first pop-up event in May at The Community Tap. That inaugural event, with 60 tickets coming in at once and a torrential downpour flooding her tent, was the tough but important learning experience that allowed Kulesz to revamp her processes, finalize the business plan, and in September, with help from an investor, buy the food truck she’s named “Pearl.” After her first full month in operation, having left her position at Oobe, she says she’s ready for this next stage of running a small business.

small P L AT E S FOOD NEWS & EVENTS

BY ARIEL TURNER

IN THE KNOW Wine Not Almost weekly, or even more frequently, local restaurants and bottle shops are hosting wine dinners and tastings. Nothing about that is news, especially if you’re a frequent guest at such events. But if you’ve never joined in, you might not know what you’re missing, and I’m not referring to just the wine and paired dishes. What I’m getting at is the heap of knowledge these visiting winemakers, sommeliers, and distributors drop on the imbibers. In fact, it’s kind of ridiculous how much of a great value a $20 tasting can turn out to be. (Dinners are pricier, but still worth it.)

For instance, a pre-Thanksgiving wine tasting at The Community Tap that offered seven pours also featured a special guest – the son of winemaker Henri Perrusset, whose chardonnay was the second pour of the night. After a wonderfully informative presentation about the winery in the Beaujolais region, we all swirled, sniffed, and tasted the buttery-hued wine in our glasses. Without exception, the four guests at my table voiced the same sentiment – they wouldn’t normally consider themselves chardonnay fans, but knowing more about the winemaker and meeting a member of his family created a connection to that particular bottle that made it more interesting and, in this case, tasty. We all expressed surprise that we would actually consider purchasing a bottle because of that interaction when we wouldn’t have otherwise. The ramifications of that fact – knowledge begets familiarity and enjoyment – can be rather far-reaching, especially with culinary experiences.

That’s just one example of dozens I could throw out, but if broadening your palate sounds, well, palatable, look up the event schedules at bottle shops like WineXpress, The Community Tap, and Red’s Beer and Wine, and restaurants like Larkin’s on the River, Stella’s Southern Brasserie, Soby’s, and Foxcroft Wine Co.

HOLE FOODS How ‘bout D’s Nuts Yes, the the gluten-free, sugar-free, vegan-friendly doughnuts from Farm Fresh Fast have been branded “D’s Nuts.” (Go ahead and take a minute to process that). But, if you can get past the obviously created-for-shock-value name, they are worth a taste test.

The team has just rolled out six new flavors based on traditional holiday favorites: sugar cookie, peppermint fudge, eggnog, gingerbread, snowball, and milk and cookies. And so far, they’ve sold out every day, if that tells you anything. So, if you’re looking for a fairly guilt-free holiday treat for you or the kids, pick up a half dozen at Farm Fresh Fast and try them all. Because really, how do you choose?

We didn’t know if Everette would make it through the night...

When Everette arrived at Animal Care he was abandoned and starved. We didn’t think he would make it through the night. What followed astounded us all.

One of our staff members tells it best. “The next morning, I went in to check on him and he lifted his head. He looked at me as if to say ‘thank you.’ It was then I knew he would make it. He knew he was safe and his fighting spirit showed through.” Today, Everette is a new dog. He has more than doubled in weight and has a family who never lets a day go by without reminding him that he is loved.

We were able to save Everette because of donations from animal lovers like you. Every gift makes a difference. We need your financial support to help every savable animal in Greenville County. We are the closest we have ever been to being a no-kill community! During this season of giving, please consider making a life-saving donation to homeless pets.

Donate to help build a no-kill community in Greenville County.
