OUT OF BOUNDS
Pendleton Street property owner fears the city’s rezoning efforts may cost his family. Again.
CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF
clandrum@communityjournals.com
When Dino Hassiotis looks at the city of Greenville’s plan to rezone Pendleton Street, he gets a feeling of deja vu. Back in the late 1980s when Greenville was in the midst of trying to revitalize downtown, it had a plan to revitalize Piazza Bergamo in the heart of the city’s central business district. The Boston Lunch, a family-style restaurant owned by Hassiotis’ father, Christos, and a fixture in downtown, stood in the way. The city wanted to demolish the building to make room for a large garden patio. After fending off threats of condemnation for two years, his father decided to sell the building to the city for $190,000. Christos Hassiotis looked for another place for his restaurant that was close to downtown. He chose Pendleton Street. Now, Dino Hassiotis is concerned that a proposal by the city to rezone Pendleton Street will cost his family money again. “My father didn’t want to sell Boston Lunch, but he felt he didn’t have a choice,” he said. “We built on Pendleton Street when nobody else would. We’ve made a long-term investment and now that we’ve almost got the building paid off and when the area has turned around and is ready for growth, the city is going to give it to us again.”
Area of change
When his father decided to buy two lots on Pendleton Street near the corner of Academy so he could build a new Boston Lunch, nobody was investing in the area, Hassiotis said. “In 1991-92, nobody in their right mind would have broken ground there, except for us. Nobody had broken ground on that
street for 30, 40 years,” he said. But now the Pendleton Street corridor between South Main and Academy streets is redeveloping, and some residents have asked the city to look at rezoning the area to encourage development that is compatible with the surrounding neighborhoods. “The neighborhood feels current zoning reflects very intense commercial zon-
would generally downzone property from C-3, regional commercial district, to RDV. C-3 is one of the city’s most intense commercial districts and is found on Laurens Road, Wade Hampton Boulevard, Pleasantburg Drive, Woodruff Road, and at the Haywood Mall, according to Michael Williamson, the city’s community development project manager.
The Planning Commission delayed action after Chairman Jason Tankersley said he didn’t favor blanket rezoning and that he believed the RDV designation was a way to cherry-pick what property owners are allowed to do. After complaints from some property owners, adjustments were made “where it was appropriate from a planning perspec-

owner of the Pendleton Street property where O.J.’s Diner is located ing,” said Ian Thomas, co-president of the West End Neighborhood Association. “Due to grassroots development of owneroccupied residential, the area’s residential component has grown exponentially over the past 10 years and has outpaced the commercial component. We feel the zoning should reflect that.” This is not the first time rezoning the area has been discussed. A similar recommendation was made in the Sterling Neighborhood Master Plan, which was adopted in 2010. The city’s proposal would generally down-zone property on South Academy from C-2, local commercial district, to RDV, redevelopment district, or RM-2, single and multifamily residential district. On Pendleton Street, the proposal
In its rezoning application to the Greenville Planning Commission, the city said West Greenville, West End, and Sterling have undergone a transformation with the renovation of existing homes and the construction of new homes. “While this revitalization, overall, has been very positive, the three neighborhoods have faced development pressures including the demolition of older homes with historic character, and the transition of once-affordable housing options to market-rate homes,” the application said. The application said the RDV designation would guide redevelopment and increase the viability of the area by limiting certain uses and encouraging a pedestrian orientation and mixed-use pattern of retail, office, and residential development.
tive,” Williamson said. One of those adjustments was to allow four parcels at the corner of Pendleton and Academy owned by Enigma Corp., whose registered agent is Stewart Spinks, to remain C-3. Williamson said the properties are contiguous properties that have access to Academy Street and the other three corners of the intersection have C-3 zoning. At the original Planning Commission meeting, attorney Rivers Stilwell said rezoning the property to RDV would hurt Spinks’ ability to find a tenant for the property.

Home Tips As the weather turns colder, heaters are coming on and with them comes the increased danger of carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that often goes undetected. Every home needs a carbon monoxide detector installed on every floor, preferably 5 feet from the ground. Placing detectors near a sleeping area is even better since you are less likely to notice the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning while sleeping. Like your smoke alarms, these devices have a ten year life span too, so check the install date! A professional inspection of gas appliances every year is important since carbon monoxide is created when the fuel isn’t burned completely.

Under the RDV zoning proposed for much of Pendleton Street, restaurants with drive-thrus or outdoor seating and retail uses with more than 25,000 square feet would be allowed under certain conditions.

type of business to allow and disallow,” he said. He said he is upset that the Enigma property was taken off the list of properties the city wants to rezone and his remains. Hassiotis’ biggest concern is that restaurants with drive-thrus are not permitted in RDV zones by right. Williamson said any uses no longer permitted by right as a result of a zoning change are allowed to continue as a nonconforming use as long as they don’t close for six months or more, invest more than 50 percent of the value of the property in improvements, or expand the existing use. Williamson said if a restaurant operating as a nonconforming use closed for
six months or more, a new restaurant with a drive-thru in an RDV zone could apply for a permit as a conditional use. But Hassiotis said the value of his property would be diminished because there’s no guarantee a new restaurant would be approved for the conditional use. Thomas said the new zoning and the grandfathering of existing businesses would provide a “transitional change over time” that will benefit the neighborhoods in the Pendleton Street corridor. “If anything, it will help bring more business to the street,” he said. But Hassiotis said if the rezoning goes through and if he sells the Pendleton Street lot, he won’t invest in property in
the city again. He said that after his father sold the downtown Boston Lunch property, the city didn’t demolish the building as planned and instead sold it to a partnership that said it would renovate the structure into apartments and a restaurant. “Greenville has not been a good place to do business for us,” he said. “We didn’t fit into their plans downtown because we didn’t serve the right clientele. After what they did to my dad and my family, and what they’re trying to do now, if I ever sell the property, I’ll never invest in Greenville again.” The Planning Commission will consider the rezoning request at its Dec. 20 meeting.

THERE’S A
NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN Child exploitation cases are on the rise and Greenville County has a unique weapon in the fight
NOSE FOR THE JOB
STORY BY CINDY LANDRUM
GROWING PROBLEM
11
Every 11 minutes, a child is sexually assaulted in the U.S.
Each year, 63,000 children are victims of 11 “substantiated or indicated” sexual abuse,
according to the National Institute of Justice & Centers for Disease Control & Prevention.
The majority of child sexual assault victims are
12-17 years old
Among cases of child sexual abuse reported to law enforcement, 93 percent of the perpetrators are known to the victim.
The number of child exploitation cases in South Carolina and the nation is rising, and the Greenville County Sheriff ’s Office has a unique weapon to help it catch the perpetrators. Queue, a 2-year-old black English Labrador retriever, is trained to detect electronic storage devices, some as small as a thumbnail, that could contain evidence of criminal activity. Queue is the newest member of the Sheriff ’s Office’s Internet Crimes Against Children unit and is one of about two dozen law enforcement K-9s nationwide — and the first in South Carolina — specifically trained to detect electronic devices that could be hidden and missed during searches conducted by human law enforcement officers. Law enforcement officers said a single SD card could contain up to 244,000 images of child pornography. Toni Clark, founder of Greenville-based Defenders for Children, the organization that paid for Queue and the training, wants to place an electronic device-detecting K-9 in Anderson or Pickens County and eventually have the dogs in every area of the state. “We can’t afford to miss one device,” she said.
93%
Queue uses her heightened sense of smell to detect a chemical baked onto computer circuits in electronic storage devices to prevent devices from overheating. While dogs have been used to detect drugs, bombs, and accelerants in arson cases for years, using them to locate electronic storage devices is relatively new. In 2016, the Connecticut State Police trained the first electronic storage device dog after a chemist there was able to isolate the chemical. Todd Jordan, CEO of Jordan Detection K9 and Queue’s trainer, is a firefighter in Indiana who trains arson dogs. He had been talking to friends who were police officers and members of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force who said they knew they missed finding devices when they conducted searches.

Queue is one of about two dozen law enforcement K-9s nationwide (and the first in South Carolina) specifically trained to detect electronic devices as small as a thumbnail that could be hidden and missed during searches conducted by human law enforcement officers.
“
“WE CAN’T AFFORD TO MISS ONE DEVICE.” TONI CLARK founder of Defenders for Children
Jordan had heard that a chemist had isolated a chemical in electronic devices and that dogs were being trained to detect its smell. He began training Bear, a black lab, to detect the minute odor. One day, he was asked to bring Bear to a house near Indianapolis. The dog uncovered a hidden flash drive that was key to the investigation of former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle, who pleaded guilty to child porn and sexual misconduct charges. Jordantrained dogs also worked on the case of U.S. Olympic gymnastics coach Marvin Sharp and helped on a serial killer case. Before Queue returned to Greenville with handler Sgt. Mike Rainey last month, he had gone on seven searches in Indiana, Jordan said. “I can’t wait to hear about Queue’s successes in South Carolina,” he said.
MORE ARRESTS
Chip Payne, commander of the South Carolina Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, said child pornography and sexual exploitation of children are a growing problem all over the state. “The problem is prolific statewide,” he said. “The problem is tremendous.” South Carolina received a U.S. Department of Justice grant in 1998 to establish one of the first 10 Internet Crimes Against Children Task Forces in the nation. Now, there are 61 task forces in the country. In South Carolina, the task force made 45 arrests in fiscal year 2013. That increased to 210 arrests in 2017, Payne said. During that time, the state task force expanded from 40 members to 110 members. The Greenville County Sheriff ’s Office
has always been a member, Payne said. In 2017-18, the Sheriff ’s Office ICAC unit executed 47 search warrants, Rainey said. Sheriff Johnny Mack Brown said it’s clear there’s a problem. “With the past experiences of doing predator stings, it’s very obvious we don’t get everybody,” he said. Having Queue will help, he said. Clark said devices used for storing child pornography need to be found not only to help prosecute the offenders but to help the child victims, as well. Victims range in age from infants to teens, she said. She said she read about electronic storage device detection dogs on the Internet and decided Greenville needed one when she saw a dog in action in Atlanta. Clark said she put a micro SD card in a container of makeup and put the container in her purse. The dog found it immediately. “That convinced me,” she said. Payne said that when Queue is not searching for devices in child exploitation cases, she can serve as a therapy dog for officers in the Internet Crimes Against Children unit. “They see the worst of the worst,” he said. “What they see will give you a sick feeling in the pit of their stomachs. But that same feeling is what drives them to get the perpetrators off the street.” Payne said parents need to realize that sexual exploitation of children is not something that just happens in other places and they need to know what their children are doing. He cited a recent case where a man who had been communicating with a teenage girl over the Internet traveled from California and was living in her closet while she was at school.

Greenville County Schools to send text alerts on school delays, closings ARIEL GILREATH | STAFF
agilreath@communityjournals.com
Parents who are tired of waking up early to check media lists for school delays and closures can rejoice — Greenville County Schools will now send text alerts. The district has never sent text alerts or early morning robocalls, partly because of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) — legislation enacted by the Federal Communications Commission in 1991 that restricts telemarketing communications to safeguard consumer privacy. The restriction applies to some governmental agencies, including school districts, but in 2016 the FCC released an order stating school districts could “lawfully make robocalls and send automated texts” for an emergency purpose. Beth Brotherton, spokesperson for Greenville County Schools, said along with the TCPA, sending a text alert in years past was a hassle because various phone companies charged for text messages. Brotherton said the district started looking into available options when it discovered the Twitter-to-text alert system it was using was unreliable.
“Though we have been using a text message system called @gcsalerts through Twitter, that system has been less than reliable and is dependent on parents opting in and having push notifications set properly on their phone,” Brotherton said in a statement on Dec. 3. The district’s legal team reviewed the FCC’s 2016 statement and made the decision to start sending text alerts in December. Parents whose primary home phone number with the district can receive text messages will get the alerts automatically, but parents who have a landline or other non-text-receiving phone listed will need to fill out a form and return it to their school’s front office. The form can be found on the Greenville County Schools website. “We will continue to use @gcsalerts as a communication redundancy,” Brotherton said in the statement. “As always, the GCS website, social media platforms, and local media will be used to help disseminate emergency messages.”

Local dentist delivers free smiles to Guatemalan children MELODY CUENCA | STAFF
mwright@communityjournals.com
What many people consider to be a drudgery, the children of Antigua, Guatemala, see as a gift — dental procedures. Dentists, dental hygienists, and assistants from Aspen Dental-branded practices in the U.S. recently worked alongside the Global Dental Relief organization to provide free dental care to 882 children there. Dr. Savannah Reynolds, who has owned an Aspen Dental practice in Greenville for three years, was among the eight dentists who made up the Aspen Dental “Smiles for Guatemala” team. The team traveled to Antigua last month for an eight-day trip, with five days being clinic days. “From the volunteers that I worked with to the Guatemalan adults and children that I came into contact with, we truly created some amazing memories, and I was especially impressed with everyone’s positive attitudes,” Reynolds says. “I realized that I have more to be thankful for than I ever could have imagined.” Growing up in a low-income area of rural West Virginia, Reynolds saw people suffering and always wanted to help those around her. “I thought it would be really cool to give back one day, especially because I knew I was going to be a doctor,” she says. “I just never had

the funds to do it.” After researching Aspen Dental’s mission trips, Reynolds applied and was selected for the Guatemala team. Working primarily on adults at her practice, she was a bit nervous to provide dental care to children ages 3 to 18 during the trip. As the trip approached, her nervousness turned into excitement. “It was just way more of an experience than I ever dreamed it could be,” she says. “You can imagine these kids that I’m worried about hurting them, and really they’re crying because they’re happy they’re going to be out of pain. They would hug you after.” Providing free dental education, cleanings, fillings, and extractions, the team’s goal was to relieve pain, preserve permanent teeth, and extract any abscessed teeth. “Here in the U.S., you inject someone with an abscess, they’re screaming and ready to hit you. Over there, they’re hugging you and thanking you,” Reynolds says. Loving her career in general dentistry and growing from her Guatemalan experience, Reynolds will continue to change her patients’ lives through dental care. “You come back and you realize what things matter in life,” she says. “It was crazy how much we were impacting each other when I thought we were just impacting them.”

DNA analysis identifies remains of Greenville sailor killed at Pearl Harbor
Carl D. Dorr.
STORY BY ANDREW MOORE | PHOTOS BY THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE POW/MIA ACCOUNTING AGENCY.
Former President Franklin D. Roosevelt termed it “a date which will live in infamy.” Seventy-seven years ago on Dec. 7, shortly before 8 a.m., a fleet of almost 200 Japanese aircraft attacked the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, killing thousands of American sailors. The USS Oklahoma, an older battleship that had been stationed in the Pacific after World War I, sustained multiple torpedo hits and capsized within minutes of the attack. Many of the ship’s crew members escaped
the wreckage by jumping overboard, but hundreds more remained trapped inside. Only 32 were rescued. Ultimately, the attack on the USS Oklahoma claimed the lives of more than 400 sailors, including Navy Fireman 2nd Class Carl D. Dorr. Dorr, who grew up in the Sans Souci neighborhood of Greenville County, enlisted in the Navy in 1940. He was 27 years old at the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor. Now, nearly eight decades after his death, Dorr’s remains have been identified and returned home. On Dec. 5, Dorr’s flag-draped coffin was unloaded from a passenger plane at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport, where it was greeted by surviving family members and carried by a Navy honor guard to a waiting hearse. Dorr was laid to rest on Dec. 7, the 77th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack. Like others who perished during the Pearl Harbor attack, Dorr’s remains sank to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean with the USS Oklahoma. From December 1941 to June 1944, Navy
personnel recovered the crew’s remains, which were subsequently interred in the Halawa and Nu’uanu cemeteries in Hawaii. Three years later, members of the American Graves Registration Service removed the remains from the two cemeteries and transferred them to the Central Identification Laboratory at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii. The laboratory staff confirmed the identifications of only 35 men from the USS Oklahoma at that time, so the American Graves Registration Service buried the unidentified remains in 46 plots at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, known as the Punchbowl, in Honolulu. In October 1949, a military board classified those who could not be identified as nonrecoverable, including Dorr. Decades later — in April 2015 — the deputy secretary of defense issued a policy memorandum directing the disinterment of unidentified remains associated with the USS Oklahoma to undergo DNA analysis. Of the 16 million Americans who served in World War II, more than 400,000 died during the war. There are 72,781 (about
For more information, visit www.dpaa.mil
26,000 are assessed as possibly recoverable) still unaccounted for. DNA analysis, however, has helped identify scores of unidentified remains in recent years. Last year, for instance, Navy Seaman 1st Class Milton Reece Surratt, a Mauldin native, who was killed aboard the USS Oklahoma during the Pearl Harbor attack, was identified through DNA testing and returned to the Upstate for burial. To identify Dorr’s remains, scientists from the DPAA and the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System used mitochondrial and Y-chromosome DNA analysis, anthropological analysis, and even circumstantial evidence. The Department of Veterans Affairs also partnered in the effort. According to the DPAA, Dorr’s remains were accounted for on July 25. A rosette will be placed next to his name on the Walls of the Missing at the Punchbowl to indicate he has been identified. Today, there is a memorial to the USS Oklahoma and the sailors and Marines who died during the attack at the National Memorial Cemetery on Ford Island at Pearl Harbor.

Radios used by city of Greenville’s first responders need a nearly $2.3 million upgrade CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF
clandrum@communityjournals.com
When the radios used by Greenville’s emergency responders need repairs, the city has to go to eBay to look for parts. Fran Moore, the city’s communications administrator, told members of the Greenville City Council Committee on Public Safety and General Government that the radios used by police, fire, public works, parks and recreation and dispatch are 2003 models that are nearing the end of their useful life and no longer supported by the vendor. “We’re struggling to equip essential personnel,” she said. “There are no spares. There are no parts.” It will cost nearly $2.3 million to replace them. The city needs 413 hand-held and 209 vehicle-mounted radios. The police and fire department radios are interoperable but the police department has loaned radios to the city’s parks and recreation and public works departments to use during weather events and other emergencies so they can communicate. The fire department’s radios would be the first to be replaced. After those radios are replaced, some could be used as spares and for parts until the implementation is complete. Matt Efird, the city’s budget manager and interim assistant to the city manager, said a countywide grant would fund more than half of the fire department’s radio needs through a different vendor. Fire Chief Stephen Kovalcik said all the
department’s radios should be replaced at the same time because they are assigned to rigs, not specific firefighters. The department needs uniformity in equipment so firefighters know the controls and can operate them in smoke-filled buildings, he said. “It’s a safety issue,” Kovalcik said. Kovalcik recommended the city return the grant radios and allow them to be deployed to other fire departments in the county. “There are smaller volunteer departments that have to literally have hot dog roasts to put fuel in their vehicles,” he said. “They need to be able to communicate, too.” Outfitting the fire department would cost about $500,000, Efird said. He said possible funding sources include money the council earmarked for neighborhood improvements, using the city’s current budget surplus or making the radios a priority in next year’s budget. Moore said the new radios could be implemented over the next three to six years. Interim City Manager Nancy Whitworth recommended to the committee not to go past three years. “Public safety is a core function of a city,” she said. “Six years is too long.” Moore recommended the city set up a gradual replacement program so it could spread the cost over time instead of taking a $2.5 million hit at once. Greenville County has purchased some 800 mHz radios for Greenville County EMS and the Sheriff’s Office and has plans to buy more. The radios have not yet been put in service, according to county spokesman Bob Mihalic.

Clemson to offer $34K stipend to diverse chemical engineering students

agilreath@communityjournals.com
Nearly 80 percent of chemical engineers are men and less than 6 percent are black, but a new grant-based program at Clemson University aims to change that. The Department of Education award-
ed Clemson a Graduate Assistance for Areas of National Need (GAANN) grant of $746,250 to attract more students to its doctoral program in chemical engineering. Clemson is matching $186,564 of the grant. The university will focus its recruitment efforts on students at Clemson and in the 107 historically black colleges
and universities in the Southeast. Mark Blenner, associate professor in the chemical engineering department, said Clemson will use the grant money to attract students by offering up to $34,000 in annual stipends for two to three years. Nearly all of the grant money will go to the stipends. “The Ph.D. program is a five-year program, but the GAANN fellows program, depending on how you do it, is about two to three years,” Blenner said. Blenner said tuition for students in the program is typically $15,000, but nearly all students receive significant financial assistance. The GAANN program targets chemical engineering students who want to become university-level professors, with a goal of graduating six doctoral students through the program in five years. “The thought is to have a program that is better preparing any of our students to go into academia, but we’re particularly interested in trying to get more underrepresented students into Ph.D. programs, who then become faculty members who can then be good role models for those underrepresented
groups in the future,” Blenner said. If the university reaches its goal, it will increase its Ph.D. students in the program by 10 percent through the grant. “It’s not a huge number — six — but it is 10 percent of our Ph.D. students, so it’s not an insignificant number for us,” Blenner said. “If we can try and get more students in who are interested in academia and becoming professors, then that just helps propagate the cycle here.” Overall, Clemson’s goal is to increase total enrollment in its chemical and biomolecular engineering doctoral program from 59 to 70 students. The average salary of chemical engineers is $105,524 — more than twice the national average salary of $50,213. The university is currently recruiting students to the program for fall 2019. “Everyone realizes the importance of having a more diverse set of graduate students who get Ph.D.s and go on to do amazing things as faculty or working in the industry,” Blenner said. “It’s incredibly competitive to get this small pipeline of students coming out right now, and so this is going to help do that.”

SC districts to replace fire-prone buses by Christmas ARIEL GILREATH | STAFF
agilreath@communityjournals.com
By Christmas, all South Carolina public school districts will finally be rid of the 1995- and 1996-model school buses prone to catching on fire. Legislators made it a priority last January to replace 210 of the nearly 600 buses the South Carolina Department of Education still had that were built in 1995 or 1996 after a spate of more than a dozen school bus fires over the last three years. The 1995/1996 buses, which were built with engines in the back, made up most of the state’s more than 100 bus “thermal events” since 1995, according to the state Department of Education. In November, Greenville County Schools replaced its remaining fire-prone buses after receiving 21 propane-fueled buses as part of a pilot program with the state department. In 2007, legislators wrote into state law a mandate to replace one-fifteenth of its buses every year, meaning no district should have buses more than 15 years old. But year after year, the mandate went unfunded. Beth Brotherton, spokesperson for Greenville County Schools, said that in the last year, districts had to prioritize replacing the 1995/1996 buses
over others because of the increasing number of fires. In May 2017, 56 students were on board a bus that caught fire in Spartanburg County. Six months later, a bus with 29 students on board in Greenville County caught fire. No students were injured in either of the incidents — two of more than a dozen school bus fires in the state since 2015. Ryan Brown, spokesperson for the state Department of Education, said its 2019-20 budget request accounts for the 2007 state law, as well as additional buses for counties with high projected growth, such as Greenville, Charleston, York, Lexington, and Horry counties. Districts will still have buses more than 15 years old on the roads — Brown said there are 432 model-year 1988 buses across the state — but that could change depending on funding. The state Department of Education could receive funding from a Volkswagen settlement stemming from investigations by the United States Environmental Protection Agency in 2015 that revealed the company installed devices in vehicles to cheat diesel emissions tests. The South Carolina Department of Insurance is the lead agency for handling the nearly $34 million South Carolina was allotted.
BY THE NUMBERS • There have been MORE THAN 100 bus "thermal events" since 1995 in SC • There have been more than 12 BUS FIRES in SC since 2015 • 210 1995/96 model buses were replaced in Jan. The nearly 400 REMAINING BUSES will be replaced before 2019.

Brandon Mill sells, allows Greenville Center for Creative Arts to expand ARIEL TURNER | STAFF
aturner@communityjournals.com
The West Village Lofts at Brandon Mill has traded hands for $42.2 million, and Greenville Center for Creative Arts (GCCA) has purchased one of three parcels of the development, the historic Brandon Mill Cloth Building at 101 Abney St., they’ve called home since 2015. Subsequently, the new owners of the Brandon Mill development will be donating the third parcel, the 30,000-squarefoot Cotton Warehouse that sits on the property, to GCCA in the first quarter of 2019, allowing the art school to expand its 3D classroom offerings. Cherington Shucker, GCCA executive director, says the board and leadership anticipates doubling the number of students served annually, currently 950 per year, with the additional classroom and studio facilities. Located in the Village of West Greenville, which is known as Greenville’s arts district, GCCA has operated as a non-profit, community-driven arts center since opening, attracting more than 30,000 visitors for classes, exhibitions, community
events, and First Friday events. The Cloth Building GCCA occupies is situated in the renovated West Village Lofts at Brandon Mill project envisioned and carried out by Pace Burt, who redeveloped the mill beginning in 2014 into a mixed-use development that includes 275 residents. GCCA has served as an anchor of the growing visual art district in the Village of West Greenville and brought people
here,” Shucker says. Burt, who also owns The Lofts of Greenville development at 201 Smythe St., recently sold two parcels of the Brandon Mill property to California-based Brookline Investment Group, which owns the 400 Rhett apartment complex in the West End in addition to other investment properties around the country. GCCA purchased the Cloth Building parcel from Burt.
to the development before the residential portion was completed. “They created something so special and brought awareness to the area,” Burt says about GCCA. GCCA’s First Friday events draw hundreds of people each month to a part of town many had never visited, says Tracy Hardaway, GCCA’s chair of fundraising and co-founder. “It’s been so much fun to be able to help open people’s eyes to what could be down
Brookline’s interest in the property was heightened by the unique partnership between Burt and GCCA, and Burt was committed to preserving the relationship between the new owner and GCCA. Brookline’s donation of the Cotton Warehouse building further signifies their partnership with the arts center and was made possible through Greenville County’s granting of a 20-year property tax freeze contingent on the donation.
GCCA has launched a community capital campaign to raise the funds required to renovate and equip the Cotton Warehouse. The renovation will create classrooms and studios for ceramics, jewelry and metals, and woodworking – none of which can be executed in the current GCCA location because of fire safety regulations due to its connection to a residential building. Woodworker and architect Chris Stone of StoneCraft Studio3, in cooperation with LS3P, has designed the renovation of the Cotton Warehouse building. “This building is like doing furniture or making pottery,” he says. “You have to physically get involved. I would say it’s like taking an old building or like an old piece of furniture and bringing it back to life.” Stone says the bones of the building are already intact and is approaching the design like he approaches a piece of wood: Like an artist turning the hunk of wood into what it wants to be, asking ‘What do you want to be?’ “It’s really about keeping and enhancing what’s already there,” he says.
The Community Foundation of Greenville bridges philanthropy and purpose by offering planned giving services, donor-advised funds and administering charitable endowment funds in support of a better community.

A downtown parking lot is being repaved with nanomaterials made from wood.
Here’s why. STORY BY ANDREW MOORE
If you were to walk through downtown Greenville, you would likely notice several landmarks, including the Liberty Bridge and the old county courthouse. While these iconic structures are unique in their own right, they share one commonality: They’re made of concrete. The coarse, gray material is the very foundation of modern infrastructure. It’s been used in the construction of everything from buildings and bridges to roads and sidewalks. But despite all its benefits of strength and durability, there’s a major downside to using concrete.
TESTING GROUND
The production of cement, which when mixed with water forms the binding agent in concrete, accounts for 5 to 10 percent of all human-caused carbon dioxide emissions, according to the International Energy Agency. These emissions have been on the rise since the industrial revolution and remain the leading cause of global warming. Over the past decade, though, researchers from across the country have been working together to create a cleaner version of the versatile building material. And now they plan to test the capabilities of their environmentallyfriendly alternative in Greenville. The U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities, a Greenville-based environmental nonprofit, has partnered with the U.S. Forest Service, Oregon State University, and Purdue University to study a concrete mixture infused with cellulosic nanomaterials. Cellulosic nanomaterials are produced by breaking down wood to its smallest, stron-
gest components through mechanical and chemical processes similar to making paper. These tiny rod-like structures have diameters 20,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair and can be seen only using an electron microscope, yet they are as strong as steel with only one-fifth the weight. “Researchers are testing these cellulosic nanomaterials in a wide range of applications from substrate for computer chips, they don’t warp under heat like plastics
being mixed. The addition of cellulosic nanomaterials, however, increases the hydration of cement particles, thus making it stronger, according to Dr. Jason Weiss, a professor of civil and construction engineering at Oregon State University. In lab tests, the addition of the nanomaterials increased the tensile strength of traditional concrete by 15 percent, improving it enough to help prevent cracks.
“We are excited to be spotlighting Greenville in this project. This test aims to show what the future of sustainability can be.” CARLTON OWEN
president of the U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities
do, to car and airplane bodies, lighter and stronger than steel,” said Dr. Alan Rudie, a chemist with the U.S. Forest Service’s Forest Products Laboratory in Wisconsin, in a news release. “Our team expects that concrete will be among the first commercial applications.”
STRONGER BONDS
While traditional concrete remains one of the most widely used construction materials in the world, it’s strength and durability are hampered by the fact that not all of the cement particles are hydrated after
THE GOAL
The U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities, along with its research partners, plans to conduct a head-to-head comparison of nanomaterial-enhanced concrete with traditional concrete by reconstructing its 25-by-45-foot parking lot on East North Street and pouring 32 tons of each mixture at the site. The nonprofit will be working with Harper General Contractors, SynTerra Corp., and Thomas Concrete to rebuild the parking lot starting this month. Carlton Owen, president and CEO of the
U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities, said the long-term goal of the study is to test how well the nanomaterial-enhanced mixture compares to traditional concrete when it comes to reducing carbon emissions, materials used, and cost. The nonprofit’s parking lot is one of three test sites nationwide. “We are excited to be spotlighting Greenville in this project,” Owen said. “This test aims to show what the future of sustainability can be.” Manufacturing cement produces large amounts of carbon dioxide emissions, because it involves burning fuel to heat a powdered mixture of limestone and clay at temperatures exceeding 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. When cement is mixed with water, a paste is formed. Sand and gravel are then added to the paste to make concrete. By adding cellulosic nanomaterials to the mixture, concrete structures become more resistant to corrosion and last longer. This enables the construction industry to use less cement, resulting in a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. The addition of cellulosic nanomaterials to concrete could also improve the sustainability of forest management efforts by providing a market for low-value wood, according to Rudie. Public land managers typically remove this type of wood from forests to reduce the risks of catastrophic wildfire and other threats but can’t find uses for it. “Removing low value wood is expensive, so finding markets is critical to forest health and sustainability,” Rudie said. “Products made with CN [cellulosic nanomaterials] could provide one of the most

COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM important answers to keeping our forests as forests and ensuring their health and sustainability.”
POTENTIAL IMPACT
A group of scientists from Purdue University and Oregon State University began looking into the uses of cellulosic nanomaterials a decade ago in collaboration with Robert Moon, a materials research engineer at the U.S. Forest Service’s Forest Products Laboratory.
Their work, which was funded by the National Science Foundation, has since inspired similar research across the world, including a $480,000 project at Clemson University that aims to use cellulosic nanomaterials to develop composite materials that could be shaped into automotive parts with improved strength. In fact, the International Organization for Standardization published a set of global standards and definitions last year for the industrial production of cellulosic nanomaterials.
Rick Richardson, vice president at Harper General Contractors, said his company is working with the U.S. Endowment of Forestry and Commissions to establish a local testing site for cellulosic nanomaterials because of its long-ranging applications. “We are a company that values cuttingedge ideas along with creating a more sustainable future,” he said. “This project allows us to do both while working in a city and community that has been our home for generations.”
Smaller than hair, stronger than steel
SynTerra Corp., a Greenville-based regional provider of environmental consulting services to industrial and governmental clients, will provide engineering throughout the project. “We’re always looking for creative solutions, and we’re always mindful about the environment,” said Mike Hutchinson, a senior civil engineer at SynTerra. “Working with this technology puts a checkmark in both boxes.” For more information, visit www. fs.fed.us.

GREENVILLE ZOO’S NEWEST RESIDENT

He doesn’t have teeth, but he’s got a bushy tail, two-footlong tongue, and a voracious appetite for insects — up to 35,000 termites and ants per day to be exact. Anton, the Greenville Zoo’s newest resident, is arguably one of the strangest animals on the planet. But he’s quickly becoming a favorite among local crowds. The 4-year-old giant anteater recently made his debut in the zoo’s South American Pampas exhibit. He was transferred from the Roger Williams Park Zoo in Providence, Rhode Island in late October as a recommendation by the Giant Anteater Species Survival Program, according to Greenville Zoo administrator Jeff Bullock. The purpose of the program is to ensure the survival of threatened or endangered species by monitoring captive populations and making breeding recommendations based on genetic variability and spaces available at other accredited institutions, Bullock said. He added that Anton replaces Mo, a 7-year-old male giant anteater who was transferred to the Greenville Zoo in 2014 and recently sent to the Roger Williams Park Zoo as part of the Species Survival Program to breed with Delilah, a 4-year-old female. Giant anteaters, also known as “ant bears,” are the largest of the four anteater species and are native to Central and South America, according to the Greenville Zoo. Giant anteaters are currently considered a vulnerable species in their native habitat of Honduras, Brazil, and northern Argentina. The species’ population is declining due to a number of factors, including habitat loss from urban development and farmland, hunting for meat and leather, wildfires, and road-
way accidents, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Researchers estimate that only about 5,000 giant anteaters remain in the wild today. There are currently 117 giant anteaters being cared for in 56 accredited North American zoos. Conservation actions are considered important for their survival. The Greenville Zoo, in partnership with ScanSource and the Reid Park Zoo in Tucson, Arizona, recently worked with a field biologist studying giant anteaters to create a digital audiobook in Portuguese for schoolchildren in Brazil to educate them about the anteaters and what they can do to help preserve them in their region. Bullock said the zoo eventually hopes to import a female giant anteater to Greenville through the Species Survival Program to breed with Anton.

Caroline Williams Plyler
October 8, 1936 ~ November 22, 2018 Caroline Williams Plyler, wife of John Plyler, died on November 22, 2018. Caroline was born October 8, 1936 in Summerville, SC, the daughter of John V. and Zadee Shuler Williams. She completed high school in Springfield, SC before attending the University of South Carolina from which she graduated in 1956. She later earned her Masters of Education from Winthrop University. She was an early childhood educator and especially enjoyed teaching children to read. Her first job was teaching first grade in Beaufort, SC. Caroline and John married in 1959, and Caroline taught first grade and kindergarten in different cities as the family moved to follow John’s work. Caroline is survived by John, her husband of almost 60 years; her daughter, Sharon Besley; her son, John Plyler III; two grandchildren, Will Besley and Caroline Besley; and a sister,
Marguerite Andrews. She was predeceased by her parents; a son, Bill Plyler; a brother, Dr. Fred Williams; and a son-in-law, Bill Besley. Caroline often spoke of her extended family and friends, and would want you to know that she loved you and that each of you contributed to the happy life she enjoyed.

HEALTH presented by
CONCIERGE CARE The gift of time By Leigh Savage It’s become a common occurrence in doctor’s waiting rooms: you make an appointment for 9:00 a.m., only to get called back by a nurse at 10:00, where you wait another half hour for a visit with a doctor who barely has time to answer your questions. Concierge medicine was designed to address this problem, as well as others,” said James White, office manager and practice manager at PartnerMD. “Time is the big differentiator,” he said. “It allows the patient to receive quality care, and it allows the physician to deliver quality care, so it’s a win-win.” Concierge care refers to membership in a medical practice. It can offer a way to spend more time with your doctor and reduced wait times, and patients pay a monthly fee for the service. “When it first started, it was a bit pricey, but now I think it’s affordable even to the middle class,” White said. “When you look at it, where do you want to invest your money? You’re investing in your health.” PartnerMD charges $158.33 per month for a basic membership, which patients say is often less than their cable or cell phone bill. In return, patients get quick access to doctors, longer appointments and even 24/7 phone access if needed. The company still files insurance like other doctors’ offices, with the
Don’t just imagine better primary care, meet your true partner in personal health.
membership in addition. Of the many benefits members talk about, he said the brief wait times are a favorite. “We have people who drive from Georgia so they can be seen right away,” White said. “They can drive here and still be seen faster.” PartnerMD is able to keep wait times short by making sure the doctors see seven to 10 patients per day instead of the 30-plus doctors see in some traditional offices. The lower number also allows doctors the time and freedom to listen to patients. “Any physician will attest, the best way to diagnose a patient is by listening,” White said. He cited a recent study showing that concierge practices reduce hospitalizations, likely due to the enhanced ability to focus on each patient and any acute care or chronic diseases they need to address. While a traditional practice may spend five to seven minutes with each patient, doctors at PartnerMD spend 30 to 90 minutes. Instead of 3,000 to 5,000 patients per year, doctors see closer to 500. “It’s like a family environment,” he said. While concierge care stil makes up a small portion of doctors offices, it is growing by 4 to 6 percent per year, White said. Everyone is being encouraged to become insured, but there aren’t enough primary care physicians,
so waiting rooms are filling up even more. The concierge model benefits physicians as well, as some drop out as hospital systems push doctors to see more patients. Doctors often go into medicine to help people, White said, and become frustrated if time pressure and quotas prevent them from offering the best care possible. Finally, the concierge model allows the doctor to serve as a coordinator of care. “Lots of patients take multiple medications and are managed by multiple specialists, but they don’t have a quarterback,” he said. “We can help manage all of those problems.” Preventative care such as a wellness program can reduce the need for medications and add accountability. “You want to catch those pink flags before they turn red,” he said. But most of all, patients like the access. Recently, White himself saw the benefits of the service when his son got a head injury while playing basketball. “I called the doctor on call, and they were able to tell me the signs of concussion to look for, and told me to call back if I saw any of those signs,” White said. “That kept us from having to go to the emergency room and paying at least $500 just to be seen. That pays for the membership right there.”
Imagine having a doctor with the time to truly listen. One you trust as your partner in lifelong health. Imagine also having unlimited health coaching and access to the most advanced physicals for more information to take control of your health. At PartnerMD, our physicians see significantly fewer patients and have the time to provide our members with care so personal, it’s like having a doctor in the family.

BJU programming teams excel at ICPC Mid-Atlantic USA Regional Contest
GREAT LOCAL GIFTS!

Competing at the Mid-Atlantic USA Regional Contest, the Bob Jones University Bruins intercollegiate computer programming teams placed fifth overall. The contest was held at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. With three BJU teams entering the 168-team competition from 58 colleges and universities, one BJU team was one of five teams to solve all eight contest problems. The contest included a five hour time limit. The BJU team consisting of Nathan Collins, Samuel Henry, and Jacob Brazeal, also placed first at the UNC-Chapel Hill site. Other BJU team members include Zachary Hayes, Carter Shean, Ryan Longacre, Jeremiah England, Steven Platt, and Erick Ross. “Since we competed in a different region this year and regions tend to vary in their problem styles, we weren’t sure what to expect. Our students rose to the challenge and secured the highest ranking that we have achieved since our inaugural participation in 2003,” Jim Knisely, head of BJU’s Department of Computer Science, said in the release. “It has been a joy to train this group, and the seniors have had a great four years representing BJU.”

NONPROFIT
Meals on Wheels of Greenville receives grant from Dabo’s All In Team Foundation A grant of $5,000 was given to Meals on Wheels of Greenville to support its At-Risk Children and Homebound Seniors Meal Program. The grant money was given by Dabo’s All In Team Foundation. Meals on Wheels will use the gift to buy a Delivery Concepts Transportation System, which is a vehicle specifically designed to transport large quantities of food at a controlled temperature. The vehicle will allow the organization to provide meals and snack to multiple agencies aiding various groups including at-risk children and youth. “Purchasing this transportation system is a critical step in allowing us to serve at-risk children and seniors who desperately need the nutritional support,” Meals on Wheels executive director Catriona Carlisle said in the release. “This grant from Dabo’s All In Team Foundation will not only support our vulnerable homebound clients but also make an impact in the lives of so many others in our community. We are tremendously grateful for their generosity.”

CREATING OPPORTUNITIES
Leadership opportunities for young professionals in the community are usually few and far between. For instance, non-profit boards generally seek established individuals within the community to provide assistance and ensure the non-profit has adequate resources to advance its mission. Because of the lack of opportunities, about 9 years ago, Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Carolinas saw a need to create a group of young professionals to serve as an arm of the House by spreading its mission. In conjunction with several young professionals within our community, they established the Red Shoe Society to provide opportunities for young professionals to serve meaningful roles on a non-profit board and to contribute to community.
Anand Patel
Red Shoe Society President Intellectual Property Attorney The Red Shoe Society is a young-professional led organization that with Dority & Manning
supports the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Carolinas to help provide a “home-away-from-home” for families with children facing medical challenges. The organization empowers young professionals to engage in our community through active participation. Our Red Shoe Society raises awareness and provides support to our Ronald McDonald House, located on Grove Road, in various ways. Most importantly, the organization seeks to connect with families staying at the House by hosting meals throughout the year and also decorating the House for the holidays. The organization also raises awareness throughout the community by volunteering in various City of Greenville events including Hands on Greenville, Downtown Alive, and Fall for Greenville. In addition, the Red Shoe Society plans and hosts two signature fundraising events: The Plane Pull and The Greenville Royale.
By joining our Red Shoe Society, you’re joining individuals who want to make life easier for families so that they can focus on their child. Our wish is that all of our members use their time with the organization to create meaningful memories and learn how their contribution can have an enormous impact in our own backyard. To join, you can register via our online form (https://rmhc-carolinas.org/rss-become-member/) and provide an annual donation of $89, which represents the cost to house one family for one night.

How to brighten up your yard this winter
What’s your question?
There’s no need to have a drab, colorless yard this winter. There are plenty of flowers and shrubs that can endure the winter chill and even thrive in our climate. An added bonus: the vibrant blossoms and berries will fight the winter doldrums. There are options below for planters, window boxes, and shrubbery. So, bundle up and get to planting! SOURCE: HGTV.com, houselogic.com, dengarden.com
1 Camellias These evergreen bushes come in many varieties and bloom in shades of pink, red, and purple. These shrubs are well-suited for winters in the south and some varieties can bloom from October through March.
2 Dogwoods Red- and yellow-stemmed dogwood shrubs are named for their trademark colored-stems that are most vibrant in late winter. These shrubs also bear flowers in the spring and berries from summer to fall.
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 Pansies Pansies can be planted as annuals in the winter and come in colors ranging from deep purple to rich gold. For more dimension, integrate “penciled” pansies that have black lines radiating from the center.
4 Snowdrops These plants are as hardy as it comes. They can survive – and bloom – through snowy winters. They trademark drooping white blossoms give them their name. These plants will come back year-after-year with more blossoms over time.

What is the dirt on
SOIL? In a world that's lost about 1/3 of its topsoil, it's important to remember that we owe our existence to it. 95% of our food comes from the soil, but that’s not its only marvel.
MOST APPRECIATED
Off the market
The details behind some of the Upstate’s highestappreciated real estate transactions
Soil filters water, keeping pollution out of rivers, lakes, and streams. Soil protects communities by storing water, which reduces flooding and keeps things green during times of drought. Soil is home to 1/4 of our planet’s biodiversity. Soil stores carbon, which helps keep carbon dioxide (a greenhouse gas) out of the atmosphere.
What can you do? Follow the four soil health principles in your own backyard! 1.Plant a diverse range of native plants to increase diversity in the soil. Consider adding Blackeyed Susans or Coneflowers. 2.Disturb your soil as little as possible. Avoid tilling the garden or adding too many chemicals. 3.Keep living roots in the soil year-round. Cover crops are your soil’s best friends. 4.Just like we need protection from the sun in summer months and warm clothes during winter ones, soil needs to be covered to stay protected. Where plants won’t grow, add mulch!

Jasper Johns is known as one of the most famous living artists in the world. Several of Johns’ work have held the title of most paid for a work by a living artist, and most notably a piece of his was sold for a reported $110 million in 2010. Yet, he is famous for not speaking on the nature or subject of his work. “He doesn’t really like to talk about his work,” says Greenville County Museum of Art curator Chesnee C.S. Klein. “He wants you to come and see it and get your own feelings and relate to the work on your own terms instead of having a preordained idea going into it.” This is one of the many reasons his work has gained attention since he began creating it in the mid-’50s. He is most well-known for his painting called “Flag” and his works with numbers, targets, and other elements of classic iconography. “He takes one or several themes and then reworks them over and over,” Klein says. “He’ll revisit something and incorporate it into new bodies of work years later.” This trait is one of the elements that make his work stand out the most because it showcases his high level of creativity and ability to incorporate themes and designs he has used
before in continually new ways. Johns was born in Augusta, Georgia, but was raised in South Carolina before moving away for college. “He lived in South Carolina until early college age, but just from growing up and spending his formative years in the South, part of him revisiting things over and over again, and that shows his appreciation for history and the past and so you can see in his work that he is revisiting his own history, which is part of his Southern upbringing,” Klein says. GCMA boasts a wide collection of his work that spans from his earlier years to as late as 2017. “The museum has a huge collection of works that span his entire career,” Klein says. “It’s not just prints, but it’s really amazing that this institution has been able to build not just a print collection, but that we have watercolor, drawings, monotypes, oils, and encaustics. We are covering not just the breadth of his career but the breadth of technical process.” The museum has been building the collection for years and is proud to have pieces from as recent as 2016 and 2017. The exhibit is organized both chronologically and by theme so that viewers can see Johns’ continuing themes over the course of his career. In his later career, Johns began to incorporate things that were more personal to him
and use them throughout his pieces, such as a family portrait, his own shadow, his father’s watch, and images of pottery from his own collection of ceramics. Though Johns is known for keeping his method and intentions to himself, he will occasionally give insight into his creative process. “You get wonderful glimpses of stories from interviews where he reveals something personal from time to time,” Klein says. “You get these little glimpses of what he is seeing when he is painting and working on it, but you are not inundated with information so he encourages the viewer to come and have their own experiences.” The GCMA exhibit is a chance to see some truly influential American art, and Johns’ unique pieces show more than just a career, but the evolution of an artist through media, subject matter, and stages of life.

HE’S GOT THE BEAT Marcus King Band drummer delivers jazzy improv with side-band Jack Ryan
The Shady Recruits

VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER
vharris@communityjournals.com
Jack Ryan is not a man who likes to have time on his hands. The Upstate drummer has spent much of the last four years playing a 200-show-a-year schedule as part of The Marcus King Band, the fiery, fast-rising Greenville blues-rock band led by one of the best young guitarists in the country. But rather than relax when he’s back in his hometown and away from the grind, Ryan decided to form a side band called The Shady Recruits, who will perform at Gottrocks in Greenville next Wednesday. “I’ve always liked to have a lot on my plate,” Ryan says. “Even when I was a kid, I’d play sports, I was in the Boy Scouts, I was in bands with my friends, I did all kinds of activities. So if The Marcus King Band tours for a month or two at a time and then we take a month off, I still want to play during that month.”
Of course, it probably helps that the Recruits are essentially an Upstate AllStar band, featuring guitarist Charles Hedgepath, keyboardist Marcus White, bassist David Katilius, and fellow Marcus King Band alum Justin Johnson on trumpet and trombone. Together, the band digs into deep funk grooves and jazzy improvisation, styles that Ryan doesn’t get to delve into too often with King. “It’s still very much in its infancy, but the music is really ambitious,” Ryan says. “I want to leave it open to different genres and styles, with more improvisation. I don’t get to play a lot of stuff with odd time signatures with Marcus, so I wanted to get into some more of that. But it’s probably going to change the more we get to play.” The Shady Recruits started in late 2016 when Hedgepath asked Ryan to be part of his Tuesday night residency at Smiley’s Acoustic Cafe on Augusta Street. “Charles wanted me to start my own
12.14.2018 | GREENVILLE JOURNAL | 45
COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM thing so I could bring something different to his Tuesday night series at Smiley’s,” Ryan says. “It was a way for him to be able to bring guys from The Marcus King Band in without having to say, ‘Hey, it’s The Marcus King band!’ It was also a chance for me to play with David Katilius. He’s one of my best friends and one of my favorite bass players, and I don’t get to play with him much because Marcus King band is on the road so much. With the Shady Recruits I had an excuse to play with him and with Marcus White.” In fact, during our conversation, Ryan lets an interesting fact slip about Marcus White: During the band’s search for a new keyboard player after original member Matt Jennings’ departure in 2017, White was a serious contender for the job. “The first time I saw Marcus White, he was playing with his band Soul Mechanic,” Ryan says. “They were opening for The Marcus King Band in Charlotte and we immediately hit it off. When we switched keyboard players and chose DeShawn [Alexander], I realized I had to figure something else out. I absolutely love DeShawn and he’s a monster on the keys, but I still wanted to play with Marcus White.” Admiration and friendship come up
a lot when Ryan talks about The Shady Recruits. “That’s the biggest thing is that it’s all people I really get along with in the first place,” he says. “I’ve hung out with all of them. Justin and I were in a band together before we met Marcus King, and I’ve always enjoyed playing with him. I love hanging out with Charles, and David and Marcus White are two of my favorite players. It was just a no-brainer.” The only issue now is that Ryan doesn’t get to spend as much time with this band as he might ideally like, and he has an unexpected dream project in mind for them. “We don’t really get to do anything until Marcus King is off the road,” he says. “I just try to find space as I can; it’s a side project by definition. But I’d love to do some studio work. I’d really love to do TV or film soundtrack work with the guys in this group. I think that’s something we could get into. It’s different music and it’s really fun.”

SPACED OUT FEST Electronic music duo playing final show at Radio Room STORY BY VINCENT HARRIS
For the past eight years, Atlanta’s We Roll Like Madmen has created electronic music so lush and layered that it’s difficult to believe there are only two people in the group. But Chris Tollack and Jordan Young are indeed the heart of WRLM, creating what they call “psychedelic dance” music. Onstage, the pair have always been just as conscious of their visual presentation as of the music itself, and their shows often feature dynamic light shows or a projection screen flashing random images or patterns while they work their magic on synthesizers, samplers, and drum pads. It’s an immersive approach to electronic music, where Tollack and Young pay just as much attention to constructing a propulsive set or conveying an aesthetic as they do their pounding, infectiously danceable beats. It’s a sound that has gained WRLM a fervent following around the Southeast, and a particularly strong one in the Upstate. But after nearly a decade of working together, We Roll Like Madmen have decided to pull the plug, and they’ll be playing their final show at the Radio Room in Greenville on Saturday night. “This is something we started when we
were audio students at Clemson, and we kind of fashioned a niche for ourselves,” Young says. “We played a lot around the Upstate and in Columbia, Charleston, and Asheville, and we had a thing going in Atlanta here for a while.” The duo’s move to Atlanta two years ago actually started the dissolution of the band. “When we first moved down here, we stopped putting a lot of initiative into actively booking shows,” Young says. “We

took things as they came, and we eventually stopped accepting offers and decided it was just time to call it a day.” The decision came largely because both Young and Tollack had new separate careers. Young works for South Arts, a nonprofit regional arts organization, and Tollack is with Clayton State University’s Spivey Hall, a jazz and classical concert venue. So when TPP Events, the promoters who booked the Radio Room show, contacted them about performing, both men saw it as the perfect chance to say goodbye. “We thought it would be a great opportunity to close it out,” Young says, “and anyone who wanted to come see us one last time could do that and kind of relish that experience. We definitely recognized that a lot of our early shows were at the Radio Room, and Greenville was a great place for us to build an actual fan base.” We Roll Like Madmen has had a lot of influence on the local electronic music scene, and TPP Events is actually a direct result of that influence. The “TPP” stands for The Parlor Pinks, a Greenville electronic music duo who took some of their musical and visual
cues from Young and Tollack. “They’re kind of like the OGs to me when it comes to blending electronica with a more rock sound and having a visual element,” says The Parlor Pinks’ Ash Foster-Lee. TPP Events was born when The Parlor Pinks had trouble finding shows, and Foster-Lee and his musical partner Rachel Clark finally decided to create shows themselves and invite other regional electronic acts with a similar aesthetic to join them. “We’re flying by the seat of our pants, but it seems to be working so far, and I’m pretty elated to be able to say that we’re having We Roll Like Madmen come and play their final show with us,” Foster-Lee says.

Greenville Chorale brings back Handel’s towering ‘Messiah’
Laughing All The Way
The Greenville Chorale performs Handel's "Messiah," the most popular work written for chorus and orchestra, on Tuesday, 7:30 p.m. at Furman University's McAlister Auditorium. Photos provided.
PAUL HYDE | CONTRIBUTOR
PAUL’S PICK OF THE WEEK “Messiah,”
by George Frideric Handel, featuring the Greenville Chorale, Tuesday, Dec. 18, 7:30 p.m. at Furman University’s McAlister Auditorium.
WHY YOU SHOULD GO This oratorio
about the King of Kings is the king of choral works. Handel’s “Messiah” is arguably the greatest and certainly the most popular masterpiece written for chorus and orchestra – a distinction it has maintained for 280 years. “Messiah” is a particularly favorite choice at Christmastime. It has been 10 years since the mighty Greenville Chorale has sung the work. “It was time to bring it back,” said the Chorale’s longtime music director Bing Vick. The 145-voice Chorale will collaborate with a 27-piece orchestra. Taking on the solo parts will be several vocalists from the Chorale.
“‘Messiah’ is part of the Christmas tradition in America and I think this is going to be a wonderful, meaningful concert,” Vick said.
WHAT IT’S ABOUT Parts One and Two,
which the Chorale will perform, relate the story of the coming of Jesus Christ, his birth, crucifixion and resurrection – concluding with the famed “Hallelujah” chorus. “The appeal is on many different levels – musical and theological,” Vick said. “Handel was in the entertainment business first of all and his prime audience was the opera audience in London. Then he moved to oratorios, such as ‘Messiah,’ which were basically operas without the scenery and dramatic action. “‘Messiah’ features delightful baroque music,” Vick said. “It’s beautiful and tuneful. There’s exaltation and serious drama. The second level is obviously the theological. The heart of Christianity is the birth, death and resurrection of Christ, and that’s the message of ‘Messiah.’”
A GREENVILLE TRADITION This marks
the 37th annual Christmastime concert for the Chorale. Most often, the Chorale performs a Christmas pops-style concert. Every few years, however, the Chorale presents “Messiah.”
DEC 6–22
FUN FACTS Handel composed this tow-
ering masterpiece in a mere 24 days in the late summer of 1741. In the U.S., the audience traditionally stands when the first notes of the “Hallelujah” chorus are heard. Why is that? Legend has it that King George II initiated the practice by standing during the “Hallelujah” chorus. “When the king stands, everyone stands,” Vick said. “But why did he stand up? One biographer says he had been sitting for two hours and stood up to stretch his legs. Another story has it that he was so overcome with emotion by the ‘Hallelujah’ chorus that he stood up. I’m not sure we’ll ever know exactly, but the tradition has continued. I think it’s a mark of respect for the work and for the message.”
HANDEL’S “MESSIAH,” FEATURING THE GREENVILLE CHORALE AND ORCHESTRA WHEN 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 18, WHERE Furman University’s McAlister Auditorium TICKETS $5-$30 INFO 864-467-3000 or www.peacecenter.org (Tickets sold by Peace Center box office)

COFFEE BAR AND BAKE SHOP
PROVIDES COMMUNITY FOR ADOPTIVE AND FOSTER FAMILIES STORY BY ARIEL TURNER | PHOTOS BY WILL CROOKS
Exchange Co. coffee bar and bake shop at 110 S. Main St. Simpsonville is one of those hidden gems of the greater Greenville community for multiple reasons thanks to the vision of owners Michael and Roxanne Bacaro. Here are a few:
BUSINESS WITH A MISSION
The name “Exchange Co.” speaks to the Bacaros’ desire to create community and a gathering place to support adoption and foster care efforts. As parents of two biological children, one adopted child, and one in foster care, they are passionate about helping others in the same situation and supporting local nonprofit efforts. They serve on the board with A Home for Me fostering and adoption network and are currently hosting a gift card drive at the coffee shop for the 14-18 year-olds who are aging out of foster care. Customers can take an ornament from the tree and return with the gift card listed on the tag. Additionally, the Bacaros allow adoptive and foster care families to use their space free of charge for any events they may want to host and continually host fundraisers for local efforts. Eventually, the goal is for the business to be profitable enough that it could support efforts in more ways than fundraisers, Michael Bacaro says.
ALLERGEN-FRIENDLY OPTIONS
Exchange Co.’s unique menu is not so secret if you normally spend time on Simpsonville’s quaint Main Street. But if that’s not your normal stomping grounds, you likely

SPOTLIGHT
. . . And World Piece
We’re probably all wishing for the elusive peace on earth this holiday season, but at least we’ll have World Piece on Stone by Christmas. Yes, the restaurant from Coffee Underground owner Dana Lowie is almost open next to the second location of her coffee shop – this one called Coffee on Stone – in the Westone development at 109 W. Stone Ave. With her certificate of occupancy and liquor license in hand, Lowie is working with the staff for a few more days before opening to the public. Target public opening date is Dec. 19. The menu will have half-a-dozen different flavors of wings, Chicago style pizza, and burgers – basically, something for just about everyone who wants to hang with their families in a casual atmosphere.
IF YOU GO Yes Reservations After almost two years of no reservations, except for the chef’s tasting table, The Anchorage has partnered with RESY to offer reservations up to 30 days in advance for brunch and dinner, while also keeping tables and the bar open for the loyal walk-ins. That means New Year’s Eve reservations are now available, and those will fill up. This year for NYE The Anchorage will be offering a limited choice four course tasting menu ($65 per person) with an optional wine pairing ($45 per person). On the menu will be some of their favorite wines and favorite dishes from the past two years as well as some new creations. Also keep in mind the restaurant will be closed following days: Dec. 24-26 and Jan. 1-2. Visit theanchoragerestaurant.com to book your table.
AUTHENTIC
Papi’s Club de Cena
When Papi cooks, you want to be there, because the namesake of Papi’s Tacos does way more than just tacos. When the second Papi’s location is announced (very soon), it will include a full menu of authentic Mexican offerings showcasing the culinary heritage of Jorge Borrales (Papi). In the mean time, though, the taco and torta shop on the Reedy River is hosting a monthly dinner club to introduce what those traditional menu items may be. On Dec. 6, the small casual restaurant was transformed into a white tablecloth venue for the first Club de Cena. The five-course dinner included cocktail and Spanish wine pairings. On the menu were chorizo and potato empanadas, shrimp ceviche, lamb tacos and consommé soup, Chile Colorado, and tres leches cake. The next Club de Cena is scheduled for Jan. 24, so keep an eye out for tickets.

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.
