Looking back at year one of ‘All In’ Big Blue recycling By Gaye Sprague and Amy Ryberg Doyle
In 2016, after much study and leadership from our Green Ribbon Advisory Committee, the City of Greenville transitioned its curbside recycling program from a dual-stream, manual collection system with an 18-gallon recycling bin to a single-stream, automated collection system with a 95-gallon roll cart. The goals were to improve employee safety, lower program costs, streamline operations, and increase participation. So, how did we do? With the first year of our “All In. Recycling Simplified.” campaign behind us, we have some wonderful improvements to highlight in our target areas. First, the recycling participation rate in the city has increased to 70 percent. Technically, “all in” means that all of
your recycling can go in your “Big Blue” roll cart, but for the program to be most effective, “all in” also has to mean that everyone participates. To increase participation even more, the City’s recycling team will soon introduce a new program to engage more residents by rewarding individual residents who recycle, so be ready for that knock on your door. While no longer accepting glass has changed the tonnage of materials substantially, our overall tonnage has risen in-line with our increased participation rate and the additional items we accept. The quality of the recyclables that we collect and send to Pratt Industries, our recycling partner, has also improved. Our contamination rate (the percentage of materials that are not recyclable) is down to under 15 percent. Additionally, since we implemented
the automated collection system, we have had no injuries among our recycling collection employees. City residents currently pay a monthly fee of $16, which is included in their monthly water bill, for recycling, household trash, and yard waste pickup and disposal. Commercial businesses and multifamily residences do not receive City solid waste collection services, and therefore do not pay a fee. The solid waste fee and sale of recyclable materials cover approximately 55 percent of the total operations cost, with the balance of the cost funded by property taxes and other City revenues. As citizen participation rates increase, the cost of operating the recycling program will go up, but the income we receive for the recyclable materials will also go up, and the amount the City pays in tipping fees at the landfill will go down. Hopefully, in the long run, we can avoid additional landfills in Greenville County. A question we are always asked is what happened to glass. Simply put, the company the City sold glass to no longer buys it. While there is currently no viable processor for glass in the Upstate and transporting it to neighboring states is not economically feasible, we will continue seeking other opportunities to address the glass issue and improve the system. As a reminder, the city accepts the following types of recyclable materials: � Plastic bottles, jugs, and containers (numbers 1–7) � Paper (newspapers, mixed paper, cardboard, magazines, junk mail) � Aseptic containers (milk/juice cartons, drink boxes) � Aluminum and metal cans
Speak your mind
The Journal welcomes letters to the editor and guest columns on timely public issues. Letters should include name, city, phone number and email address for verification purposes and should not exceed 300 words. Columns should include a photo and short bio of the author and should not exceed 600 words. Writers should demonstrate relevant expertise and make balanced, factbased arguments.
Scrap metal, appliances, and tires are also accepted, although residents must call 864-467-4345 to schedule a pickup rather than placing them in their blue recycling roll cart. All food and beverage containers must be rinsed out before being placed in the cart, as this prevents recyclables from smelling or attracting rodents and insects, and helps maintain the value of the recyclable material. Putting any trash, food, or yard waste in the recycling cart will contaminate the whole load. Another tip is not crushing aluminum cans before placing them in the recycling cart. The process used to separate aluminum cans from the other materials actually works better when the cans are not crushed. Additional information about recycling in the City of Greenville is available online at recycle.greenvillesc.gov. The changes we have made to our recycling program are expected to save taxpayers approximately $2 million over the next 10 years, and the automated collection system now in place will keep our employees out of harm’s way. However, like any good business, the City must plan ahead and be solution-focused for its citizens, so we will continue to address improvements in operations and the expansion of services. We want to thank all of our citizens who have been “all in” this past year and encourage everyone to support our efforts to keep the green in Greenville.
Gaye Sprague and Amy Ryberg Doyle are Greenville City Council members.

‘ONE ELECTION TOO EARLY’ District 2’s demographic shift not enough to outweigh Lillian Brock Flemming’s base… at least not yet WORDS BY CINDY LANDRUM
If gentrification could be personified in an election, it would be last week’s Greenville City Council District 2 race. Lillian Brock Flemming, who grew up in the Southernside neighborhood and still lives there, is the longtime incumbent whose advocacy for African-Americans and the underprivileged dates back to the civil rights era. Matt Cotner, the Republican candidate, is young, white, and a commercial banker. “It was very much perceived by the black community that Cotner represented the gentrifying elements,” said Brent Nelsen, a Furman University political science professor. During the last redistricting, District 2’s borders were redone and snaked through disparate areas of the city – at one point connecting only by the Reedy River itself – to carve out a district that retained its minority majority. The lines, which took effect for the 2013 municipal election, created a district in which 52.26 percent of voters were black. Now, just five years later, the makeup has flip-flopped, with white voters comprising 52.15 percent of voters. Some city residents were convinced the whitening of the district would cause the whitening of City Council, leaving it with less than two minority representatives for the first time since 1981, the year Flemming won the District 2 seat for the first time. “People thought, and I was one of them in the beginning, that there was a chance the seat would flip,” Nelsen said. “But I think it was one election too early.”
BIG TURNOUT
A big turnout, relatively speaking, helped Flemming retain the seat. While off-year elections typically have a turnout of around 10 percent, this year’s City Council election got about 18 percent of registered voters to the polls. In addition to the Flemming-Cotner race, Democrat Russell Stall faced Republican John DeWorken in a race for the council’s at-large seat now held by Democrat Gaye Sprague. Prior to Tuesday, the 2009 at-large race between Sprague and Joyce Smart had the highest number of votes cast in a City Council race. And the Flemming-Cotner race surpassed that by 16 percent. Cotner got 905 votes, a number that the campaign expected would be enough to win, if results from other recent City Council races were to serve as a guide. Amy Ryberg Doyle won re-election in 2015 for the District 1 seat that represents the North Main area with less than 700 votes. Earlier this summer, Wil Brasington won the Republican primary (and the District 4 seat overall) with 1,122 votes. Cotner won five boxes – and won them by big percentages – but his margin in those precincts weren’t enough to offset heavy turnout in District 2’s traditionally Democratic – and black – precincts. Cotner won more than 69 percent of the vote in Greenville 16, the precinct that is bordered by West Faris, South Church Street, Mills Avenue, Watts Avenue, Jones Avenue, and Augusta from Jones to Faris that includes Swansgate Place, Conestee Avenue, and Grove Road, taking the box 362 to 159. Greenville 18 also went to Cotner, who got 116 votes to Flemming’s 34. But while Cotner won three other boxes, taking anywhere from nearly 75 percent to nearly 82 percent, the spread in ballots was relatively small — 36 to 8 in the Southside precinct; 50 to 17 in the Greenville 17 that includes McDaniel Avenue, McPherson Lane, and Crescent Avenue; and 20 to 8 in Greenville 20 that includes Riverside Drive, Byrd Boulevard, and Sirrine Drive. Flemming won eight boxes, as well as the absentee. Flemming won big in Greenville 7, which includes the area around where City Park is
being built, and Greenville 8, which includes part of the West End and the Village of West Greenville; both areas are seeing rapid redevelopment and have raised concerns over gentrification and longtime residents being pushed out. And both have been traditionally heavily Democratic and minority. In addition, Flemming had a huge margin in Greenville 5, which includes Viola Street, an area that was redeveloped by the city more than a decade ago and is now seeing those homeowners sell to take advantage of downtown’s growing popularity. Before the election, it was clear demographics had shifted. But the unknown was whether there was a mobilization of the new voters in the district, Nelsen said. “It was clear the demographics shifted,” Nelsen said. “What we didn’t know was if there was mobilization of the new voters in the district.”
“ Never underestimate a scared incumbent who knows she’s really got to work to get her base out.” Brent Nelsen, Furman University political science professor
ABOUT THE BASE
Flemming said gentrification gave Cotner an opportunity to run for the seat. But gentrification also played a role in his loss. “I didn’t focus on gentrification, but I had my concerns. Further gentrification, that’s what bankers do,” she said. She said she was shocked when Cotner said at a debate prior the election that he attended his first City Council meeting about three weeks before the vote. “I think voters were not ready to trust this district to somebody without experience building relationships. Being a businessman doesn’t mean you’re a team player.” Nelsen said the election speaks to Flemming’s ability to get her base out “and she’s got a very solid one.” “Never underestimate a scared incumbent who knows she’s really got to work to get her base out,” he said. “She knows how to win. She knows who her supporters are, and she knows how to get them out.” Compared to 2009, more than 10 precincts citywide doubled the number of voters casting ballots and another eight increased by one-third, political consultant Krista Bannister said. Forty-two percent of the 7,761 voters voted straight party ticket. Of those who did vote straight party ticket, 62 percent voted Democratic. By comparison, 54 percent of those who voted straight ticket in 2009 voted Democratic. In 2011, 53 percent of those voting straight ticket in the city voted Democratic. “Both candidates did an excellent job getting their voters to the polls,” said Krista Bannister, a local political consultant with the Banellis Group. Nelsen said he didn’t think Cotner was a great candidate, although he was definitely qualified and “is a decent guy.” Republicans would have had a better chance to take the traditionally Democratic and minority seat with a white candidate who is making a living in the area. “I think there’s another way to win the seat and that’s with someone deeper into the neighborhoods with both the white and black communities, somebody who is making a living in the area, perhaps running a restaurant or a brewery,” Nelsen said.

SURVEY SAYS
Confederate monuments, political correctness, and racial divisions highlight latest Winthrop Poll WORDS BY CHRIS HAIRE | IMAGES BY BO LESLIE Few would argue with the perception that Americans today are more divided than they have been in decades. While these trends were emerging long before Donald J. Trump was elected president, the battle lines between opposing sides have only gotten more fortified, with any sense of compromise fading away. Recently, Scott Huffmon and his team at Winthrop University in Rock Hill released the results of their latest survey. While the Winthrop Poll often focuses on national and state issues, the most recent poll made a concerted effort to zero in on the differing worldviews of white and black communities across 11 Southern states. These are a few of the results.

Reading Vision Correction is Here! The iStent Treats Glaucoma Glaucoma has been called “the silent thief of sight” because it doesn’t have any overt symptoms until damage is done and vision is lost. It is the second leading cause of blindness in the United States, after cataracts. The only way to detect glaucoma is through an eye exam. Now, a tiny implant is giving glaucoma patients new hope. It is called the iStent – the smallest implant ever approved by the FDA. Clemson Eye, a leader in eye care innovation, was among the first practices in the area to offer this solution to its patients.

FROM START TO FINISH New Clemson yearlong residency program hopes to increase teacher retention WORDS BY CINDY LANDRUM In a traditional university teaching program, education majors spend 12 weeks in the last semester of their senior year in a classroom as a student teacher. But a new program at Clemson University will give education students a more complete picture of what teaching entails through a residency that encompasses an entire school year from start to finish. The program, funded by a $10 million gift from Darla Moore, is the state’s first university-led teacher residency program. Research shows teachers who have gone through a residency program feel more prepared and stay in the profession longer. That’s a big deal, because at the beginning of the 2016-17 school year, there were 481 teaching vacancies in South Carolina. There was also a 21 percent increase in the rate of teachers not returning to current positions that year. It costs school districts about $18,000 to replace a teacher, said George Petersen, founding dean of the College of Education at Clemson. In the teacher residency program, which is optional, student teaching in a student’s final undergraduate semester is replaced with graduate education classes, and the following year is a year-round residency. After five years, students in the residency program have both a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in education, as well as an extended yearlong student teaching experience.
“With a teacher residency program, students are better prepared from the very day they start as the teacher of record. They’re better teachers for the students and they stay,” Petersen said. Jeff Marshall, chair of Clemson’s teaching and learning department, said a lot of teachers leave the field after three to five years. Alternative teacher programs fare even worse, with many teachers leaving after one to two years because they don’t feel well equipped for the job. That goes up to seven to eight years for teachers who graduate from residency programs. “They feel better prepared for day one,” he said. “Many students who go into education are middle- to upper-middle-class families and succeeded in education themselves. But what do you do with the 20 to 30 to 80 to 90 percent of students in a school who come into class not wanting to be there? That takes time to learn.” Students in the residency program will gain experience in the school community in which they work, Marshall said. “They’ll understand the bigger picture,” he said. Clemson is working with seven Upstate school districts: Greenville County; Anderson Districts 1, 3, 4, and 5; Pickens County; and Oconee County. Students in the program will work with master teachers in those districts, Marshall said. The first teacher residents will be placed in those districts in fall 2018.

Greenville Zoo sending celebrity giraffe to Pennsylvania The Greenville Zoo has announced plans to transfer its youngest giraffe, Tatu, to the Lehigh Valley Zoo in Schnecksville, Penn. The transfer was made on recommendation from the Masai Giraffe Species Survival Plan Steering Committee, according to Greenville Zoo director Jeff Bullock. A transfer date has not yet been decided, but zoo officials expect it to take place before winter arrives. Tatu was born on Feb. 2, 2016, to Autumn, the zoo’s 11-year-old female, and Walter, the zoo’s 11-year-old male. His birth was watched by thousands around the world when it was streamed by EarthCam. Walter was later transferred to Turtle Back Zoo in New Jersey, where he died earlier this year due to complications during surgery. In September 2016, the Greenville Zoo brought in a then 7-year-old giraffe named Miles. Bullock said it is typically recommended that giraffe calves be transferred to another facility before their first birthday in order to prevent inbreeding. Before the relocation, Tatu will go through numerous pre-transfer

While at the Lehigh Valley Zoo, Tatu will be housed with a male giraffe named Murphy until he reaches an age when he can be paired with a suitable mate, Bullock said. “While it’s always sad to see a member of our zoo family leave, supporting and promoting conservation efforts is a critical part of our mission, and we must always focus on the needs of the overall population,” Bullock said. “To that end, with Miles and Autumn being such a highly recommended pair, we’re hopeful that we’ll soon be welcoming a new calf to the zoo family.” —Andrew Moore

Program to keep middle school students OnTrack to graduate shows positive results A program to keep middle school students in the White Horse Road corridor in school and on a path to high school graduation is showing promising results. OnTrack Greenville uses an early warning and response system to identify middle school students in the White Horse Road corridor — Lakeview, Tanglewood, and Berea middle schools, and Greenville Early College, a program for underachieving middle and high school students who scored between the 20th and 40th percentile on standardized tests in at least one subject and come from families whose income makes them eligible for free or reduced price school lunches — who are veering off track in attendance, behavior, and academic performance. Officials with OnTrack Greenville said a drop off in those areas could often indicate a student is beginning to disengage from school.
Paid for through a three-year federal grant and 10 local stakeholders, OnTrack Greenville matches students to customized supports that include a school-based health program, mentoring, summer learning programs, leadership and social-emotional development, and academic instruction. When the program started, 14 percent of students at the schools were chronically absent, 58 percent had at least one behavioral referral, and 26 percent had an out-of-school suspension referral. After two years of the program, there’s been a 20 percent reduction in the number of behavior referrals and out-of-school suspension referrals. There’s been a 6 percent decrease in the number of students receiving behavioral referrals. One school has seen an 18 percent reduction in chronic absenteeism. Students in the program also showed a two-month learning gain, said Tobi Kinsell, OnTrack Greenville director. In addition, 94 percent of the students who used the student-based health center returned to class after a visit, reducing the amount of time of instruction missed. —Cindy Landrum

Agreement for Woodruff Road connector gets initial approval
SERVING THE GREATER GREENVILLE AREA
jha-sothebysrealty.com
An agreement for design and construction of a new connector road expected to cut traffic on Woodruff Road by more than 20 percent received initial approval from Greenville City Council on Monday, Nov. 13. When the half-mile, two-lane connector opens, it will give motorists a way to get to popular destinations on Woodruff Road without having to actually get on the trafficchoked road itself.
Last year, Piedmont Natural Gas, which has a facility behind Target, told city officials it planned to build a private road from Woodruff Industrial Lane to Verdae Boulevard to provide an alternate way to get its trucks out of its facility in an emergency without having to get on Woodruff Road. It asked the city if it wanted to make it a public road and connect it with Ketron Court and Green Heron Road. The new road will allow motorists to take Verdae Boulevard to the PNG Connector to get to Magnolia Park, where Costco and Cabela’s are located, and the shopping centers that contain Target, Academy Sports, and Trader Joe’s. According to the agreement, Piedmont Natural Gas will provide $1,287,500 for the project. Verdae Properties, which owns undeveloped land along the proposed new road, and the Hollingsworth fund will donate the right-of-way and contribute $312,500 for the project. Magnolia Park will contribute $200,000. The City previously appropriated $400,000 for the project. Greenville County and the state C-Fund committee are expected to each contribute $400,000 to the project, but they were not a part of the agreement the Greenville City Council addressed Monday at its formal monthly meeting. —Cindy Landrum

“Catholic health care says our strength is in our diversity. If you’re a person of faith who believes God has given you the ability to co-create a better world for our brothers and sisters, then we, as a faith-based institution, are the conduit for your ministry.” Alex Garvey, senior vice president of mission, Bon Secours St. Francis Health System Front entrance of the first St. Francis Hospital.

M
any things in health care have changed tremendously since 1932 when the Sisters of St. Francis arrived in Greenville to run a hospital that would serve poor cotton mill village residents. But one thing hasn’t in those 85 years — Bon Secours St. Francis’ focus on improving the health of those who live in the surrounding community. “We’re standing on the shoulders of the greats that came before us,” said Sister Dorothy Brogan, who joined the Sisters of Bon Secours when she was 19 and is celebrating her 65th year in the order. Brogan has been at Bon Secours St. Francis since 2000, when the Sisters of St. Francis, whose numbers were dwindling to the point where they decided they could no longer sustain the hospital ministry, turned over sponsorship of the St. Francis Health System to Bon Secours Health System. CEO Craig McCoy, whose family goes back generations in Greenville, said maintaining the sisters’ vision while pushing forward in a business environment is the hospital’s focus. “We can’t lose sight of the truth of our mission,” he said.
Humble beginnings
In 1921, the Salvation Army agreed to assist Greenville’s textile executives in building and equipping a hospital to serve cotton mill village residents. The executives raised $150,000 of the $290,000 needed, and the Greenville Salvation Army post commander borrowed the rest. Emma Moss Booth Hospital opened in 1922 but became a victim of the Great Depression. Then, the Sisters of St. Francis were asked to come to Greenville and run it. “The Sisters never went anywhere they weren’t invited,” said Alex Garvey, senior vice president of mission for Bon Secours St. Francis Health System. “It’s the calling of God and response.” Greenville residents didn’t quite know what to make of the habit-wearing Sisters when they arrived in 1932. “They used to think they were women dressed for Halloween,” Brogan said. “They weren’t sure they could trust them, these strange-looking women in these strange-looking outfits.” But build trust they did. “Catholic health care says our strength is in our diversity. If you’re a person of faith who believes God has given you the ability to co-create a better world for our brothers and sisters, then we, as a faith-based institution, are the conduit for your ministry,” Garvey said. Garvey said the world’s best-known religious woman was Mother Teresa, who never worked in Christian or Catholic countries. “She had a great line, ‘We take care of God’s people because we’re Catholic, not because they are Catholic.’” Brogan agreed, saying, “We treat people, not religions.” Will Crooks / Staff

In 1956, St. Francis became the first hospital in Greenville to have an ambulance. Photo provided Hospital expansion Over the years, St. Francis achieved many firsts in health care for Greenville. In 1956, it became the first hospital to have an ambulance. When a new hospital was opened on Dunbar Street in 1971, it was one of the first all-private-room hospitals in the Southeast. In 1995, Sister Marilyn Trowbridge founded South Carolina’s first Parish Nurse program at St. Francis. In 2005, it became the first hospital in the Upstate with digital mammography. But one of the things that hasn’t changed is the hospital’s commitment to improving the health of the community surrounding it — and that includes more than physical health.
“We say we’re in the health care business, but in reality we’re much more in the sick care business,” McCoy said. “But for us to truly push the mission forward, we’ve got to truly be in health care.” And while that comprises physical health, it also includes other aspects as well, McCoy said, including housing, hunger, education, and workforce development. “What are the core components I need to achieve maximum health? Could I be as healthy as I can be if one of those components are missing? No. When any of those items are not in the mix, a human can’t reach maximum health.” McCoy said St. Francis has to do its core business well, producing quality in
a fiscally responsible manner because that’s how it can make the other components of health possible. “We may not be the ideal group to address hunger issues, but we can partner with groups that are. We may not be the ideal group to address affordable housing, but we can partner with those who can,” he said. “Our position is how do we use our platform as a large employer to be a catalyst to bring parties together? How do we advocate against gentrification, because if we do economic development, that’s great. If we do it on the backs of the impoverished, it’s deplorable. How do we provide equity in what we do? That’s our mission-based focus.”

The health system is partnering with Greenville County Schools and S.C. Vocational Rehabilitation to immerse high school seniors with autism, Down syndrome, and other disabilities into real-world work environments with the hope they’ll gain job skills and find employment after they graduate. The program, launched in September, will include eight students from five high schools. They’ll complete three 10-week internships in various departments at St. Francis.

It’s a crisp Sunday morning at Alder Park in Simpsonville, and Lucas Croft is throwing a flying disc to his dog, Sailor, a Belgian Malinois. With just a flick of his wrist, Croft effortlessly sails the disc 20, 30, 40 yards down the field with pinpoint accuracy, and Sailor, usually at a full sprint, keeps making catch after catch, demonstrating her impressive agility with the occasional leaping grab. But Croft and Sailor aren’t just an owner and dog playing a midmorning game of fetch. They’re both seasoned competitors in the world of disc dog, a class of sport in which dogs and their handlers participate in various disc events. These include distance throwing and catching, known as Toss & Fetch, and Freestyle, which involves coordinated routines of a dog completing tricks and making acrobatic disc catches. Sailor and Croft recently traveled to Cartersville, Ga., to compete in the United States Disc Dog Nationals (USDDN) World Finals, where the duo placed second in Division II Freestyle and 18th in Super Pro Toss & Fetch. And to think it was only two years ago that Croft first became involved in disc dog competition. Back then, he and his dog Belle, a 70-pound mixed breed, went to a USDDN event in Macon, Ga., and placed first in the Toss & Fetch novice division. Since then, Croft and his dogs have competed regularly in Toss & Fetch and Freestyle. “It’s really a true team effort between you and your dog,” Croft says. “You can have the best dog in the world, but if you can’t throw a disc well, you’re not going to do well. There’s nonverbal and verbal communication the whole time.” The popularity of disc dog is scattered throughout the country, but there’s a high concentration of competitors in the Southeast, as the Atlanta area was an initial “hub city” to grow the sport, Croft says. Toss & Fetch currently lacks a strong presence in South Carolina, and Croft is doing his part to try to change that. Since last summer, he has captained a local K9 Frisbee Toss & Fetch club. Mark Vitullo, of Ohio, who is a friend of Croft’s, founded K9 Frisbee Toss & Fetch, an international league that currently fields 54 clubs in 10 different countries. “I’ve gotten far enough into it that I have the ability to share some knowledge with people and help them get started. The more players we have in the sport, the better it is,” Croft says. Although Croft practices with Belle and Sailor a few days each week (he’s also training his young Border Collie, Flynn, for competition), it’s the Greenville Toss & Fetch club that has brought him to Alder Park on this particular Sunday. But before fall league play officially begins, Croft has been leading practices for handlers and their four-legged teammates. Participants are a mix of veterans and newcomers. Stephanie and John Reagle, of Simpsonville, and their 1-year-
old Beagle, Freddie, are Toss & Fetch beginners. The couple says Freddie will fetch a ball “for hours on end,” so they signed up for the league to give him a new “hobby” and increase bonding. Christy Lovorn, of Anderson, and her German shepherd, Molly, are also novices. Lovorn heard about the league through her local doggie day care and thought it’d be a perfect fit for Molly. “We just play Frisbee in the yard, and she loves it,” she says.
The Toss & Fetch field is a trapezoid shape, and there are five zones ranging from 10 to 50 yards that award a potential one, two, three, and five points. The aim is to score as many points as possible within the scoring zones during a timed one-minute round. K9 Frisbee Toss & Fetch includes winter, spring, summer, and fall sessions that last five consecutive weeks. The Toss & Fetch field is a trapezoid shape with five zones ranging from 10 to 50 yards that award a possible one, two, three, and five points. The aim is to score as many points as possible within the scoring zones during a timed one-minute round. On competition days, each handler/dog duo plays two rounds of Toss & Fetch. Scores are tallied both as individual and team totals. At the end of five weeks, the club with the most points wins. Croft emphasizes that the Greenville Toss & Fetch club is open to everyone, even those who have no experience. “Any dog that can chase a toy can catch a Frisbee. Any human with an arm can learn to throw them,” he says. “Some people are intimidated by the sport, but it’s not as intimidating as people want to think. If you judge skill level between 0 and 100, you can go from 0 to 70 real quick.” K9 Frisbee Toss & Fetch league play for the fall session began Nov. 5 and runs through Dec. 3, but there will be opportunities for newcomers to participate in the winter session.

NAMI Greenville’s support group enables vets to help their fellow servicemen WORDS BY EMILY PIETRAS | PHOTOS BY WILL CROOKS When it comes to the conversation surrounding mental health in the United States, the needs of veterans are treated differently then the general population due to the unique and complex needs of those who served, especially those who experienced life-or-death combat situations. According to a 2015 article from the Advances in Medical Education and Practice journal, “Veterans experience mental health disorders, substance use disorders, posttraumatic stress, and traumatic brain injury at disproportionate rates compared to their civilian counterparts.” Despite this, studies reveal that a significant number of veterans do not receive the mental health treatment they need. For instance, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration reports that “approxi-
mately 50 percent of returning service members who need treatment for mental health seek it, but only slightly more than half who receive treatment receive adequate care.” According to the National Veterans Foundation, reasons for this lack of care range from personal embarrassment and a fear of being perceived as weak to a lack of understanding regarding treatment options, long waiting periods, and concerns over the quality of treatment provided by Veterans Affairs (VA). With this existing gap in treatment, nonprofit organizations play a significant role in providing veterans with needed services. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Greenville, which strives “to improve the quality of life and treatment for those who suffer from mental
illness and their family members through education, support, and advocacy,” offers a support group specifically for veterans and active duty service members. The group meets at the Greenville VA Outpatient Clinic on the first and third Wednesdays of each month. By design, both attendees and those facilitating the support group are either current or former service members. “There’s just a lot that is involved in military culture, and it was important for the leaders to have a really good understanding of what their group members have gone through,” says Danielle Ellis, program coordinator at NAMI Greenville. The group provides veterans with an opportunity to access support, get connected to various resources, and “talk about the present issues in the lives,” Ellis says.

While facilitators are not licensed mental health professionals, NAMI Greenville provides training and guidelines for conducting the group. Wilbert Norman and Harvey Craig are volunteer facilitators, and both men are former sergeants in the Army. Norman served from 1964 to May 1967 and was stationed in Vietnam from June 1966 to February 1967. Craig served from 1966 to 1975 and also fought in Vietnam, receiving two Purple Hearts. For Norman, the value of the support group is tied to being able to relate to veterans and their experiences. “I think the biggest benefit is having your story told and having somebody listen to it,” he says. “It’s helping and being a Christian — that’s what we want to do for others,” he adds. “It helps me to keep my mind off of my own problems, helping someone else. It’s rewarding seeing them get the help that they have earned.” Craig’s choice to be involved in the support group is partly rooted in his own post-military experience. His service ended with a medical discharge, and he turned to alcohol and drugs to cope with
undiagnosed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). After two decades, he got the treatment he needed to manage his symptoms. He has been sober since 2003. “It took me years to get where I’m at now,” Craig says. “I didn’t want anyone else to go through what I went through, so I wanted to help other veterans.” Craig’s story is not uncommon among Vietnam veterans. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, approximately 30 percent of Vietnam veterans “have had PTSD in their lifetime.” The National Vietnam Veterans’ Readjustment Study, completed in the 1980s, reported that alcohol abuse and dependence were the most prevalent lifetime disorders among Vietnam veterans. In a 2003 reanalysis of the study, researchers found that 4 out of 5 Vietnam veterans reported lingering PTSD symptoms over two decades after the war ended. For Craig, the support group provides veterans with “a place to come unload so they’re not carrying things from one week to the next.” Being able to talk freely with fellow veterans, he says, “makes a world of difference.”

“ I was a combat veteran, so I experienced a lot, whether it was flying or things exploding around me. … It took me some 50 years to come to realize I had a different disposition.” James Neely, who served in the Army from June 1964 to June 1967 and fought in Vietnam

Group attendee Joseph Sligh served in Vietnam from 1966 to 1968 as a specialist in the Army. “A lot of the guys have the same problems you have. There’s good camaraderie. It makes you feel better when you go,” he says. “Mostly [we talk] about our lives and how it is now and how it was then and things like that.” James Neely, who was a private first class in the Army from June 1964 to June 1967 and fought in Vietnam, says the support group helped him connect with a caseworker and later see a psychiatrist. In 2016, Neely was formally diagnosed with PTSD. “I was a combat veteran, so I experienced a lot, whether it was flying or things exploding around me. … It took me some 50 years to come to realize I had a different disposition,” he says. “After a period of time, things began to be not so pleasant with people around me. I guess I was hurting and didn’t know it.” Regarding the support group, he adds, “It helped me realize that I wasn’t alone and there were other veterans going through it. It was beneficial for me to talk to someone that could relate to what was happening.” “I just think NAMI is a great source for people that are willing to listen to a facilitator. The key factor is getting them to come and seeing whether they can benefit,” Craig says. “A lot look for a quick fix, so the key is trying to keep them there and convince them that it’s helping, and help them feel like they’re part of something.”

FLORA AND FAUNA Brandon Fellow Olivia Perreault’s art captures the colors, textures of the natural world SARA PEARCE | EDITORIAL INTERN
spearce@communityjournals.com
Growing up in Massachusetts and Upstate New York, Olivia Perreault would often explore her family’s property and photograph, paint, and draw the things that caught her attention. Today, her botanical pieces combine her love for nature and her eye for composition. Perreault describes her work as “kind of contemporary with lots of colors and naturerelated.” Her art, which focuses on both flora and fauna, often explores the remarkable colors and textures of the natural world. Perrault prefers to use acrylic paints due to their depth and the way they capture natural scenes. She is most proud of her current collection, which explores South Carolina botanicals, a compilation that, she says, has the most depth and coherence. Perreault has showcased her work in art competitions for several years. And in 2011 she won fourth place in the American Association of Christian Schools Art Competition hosted by Bob Jones University. Perreault has a painting on permanent display at Marion General Hospital, in Marion, Ind., and has also completed several personal commissions, including one for an auction for Ducks Unlimited, a nonprofit that focuses on the conservation of wetlands and waterfowl. She was also awarded the 2017 exhibition committee award during the Greenville Metropolitan Arts Council’s Flat Out Under Pressure. She first learned about the Greenville Center for Creative Arts’ Brandon Fellowship program through a colleague who suggested she apply. When Perreault was granted the fellowship, she knew she had become part of a special community, and she hopes the opportunity serves as a stepping stone to becoming a full-time artist. Perreault enjoys working with the other young artists in the fellowship program, as well as drawing inspiration from the emerging art scene in the Village of West Greenville. Through the Brandon Fellowship, Perreault says she hopes to make a name for herself in Greenville by being an active participant in the local art community.

UP FOR INTERPRETATION For Robert Gowan, ambiguity is the key to music video production VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR
vharris@communityjournals.com
In the video for “Blackbird Lullaby” Rex Akins, who performs under the name Morgan of the Pines, is a haunted man. Directed by local musician, producer, and Wasted Wine singer Robert Gowan, the video for the gothic, stripped-down acoustic ballad unfolds like a fever dream. A tangle of Shiva-like black arms reach up from behind Akins as he intones the dark poetry of the song, clutching at him and caressing him. A madwoman crouches in a fog-shrouded tree, seemingly shrieking in rage or terror, the viewer can’t tell which. Two other women stand in shrouds in an ancient-looking room near a mounted musket, masked, naked, and motionless. It’s such a startling and unsettling series of images that one immediately assume it must have something to do with Akins’ lyrics. Perhaps it’s a reference to some centuries-old feminine archetype. It could even be something buried somewhere in their subconscious minds, some forgotten figure from history. But on the surface, the two were simply following their instincts. “Most of the video was his vision, and then he gave it to me to execute,” Gowan says. “The ideas were there already, and he had specific imagery he wanted to include. It was my job to get the shots he wanted and to try to tie those things together.”
“I don’t like narrative-heavy music videos,” Akins says. “I like a loose narrative. Really good straightforward videos do exist, but ultimately it seems restrictive to me.” “Much like the song, I want the viewer to be left to develop their own emotions and reactions to what they’re seeing,” Akins adds. “People ask what it’s about and I tell them, ‘It’s about whatever you think it is.’”
a positive side. “I knew what I wanted to feel, even if I didn’t know what I wanted to see, specifically,” Akins says. “If you’re working with the right people and you’re creative enough, you can make these things happen.” Making someone else’s vision come to fruition was a bit unusual for Gowan, simply because he’d typically played a central role in his creative projects; he’s one of
“People ask what it’s about and I tell them, ‘It’s about whatever you think it is.’” –Rex Akins The main setting for the video is the home of Wasted Wine members Buck Dollars and Lou Buckingham, a place that Akins calls “this gorgeous, old haunted-looking house from the 19th century with all these cool knickknacks. So I knew I wanted to do something in that house.” And really, other than the image of a woman perched on a bare tree branch, that was all he knew about what he wanted, at least initially. “It wasn’t really calculated; I had the image of the woman in the tree, and I loved that image. It was very evocative to me,” he says. “But other than that, we didn’t know what was going to happen; it just happened.” The instinctive approach had

the main writers and arrangers in Wasted Wine, and he eventually joined the band he most recently produced, My Girl, My Whiskey, & Me. But he ended up appreciating the challenge. “I find it a lot of fun to sift through somebody else’s ideas and make it work, especially on a budget,” he says. “And it turned out to be a lot more collaborative in the end.” Ultimately, the video ended up costing around $300, a surprising amount for what Gowan and Akins were able to do. “I would love for more people to see the video work I’ve been doing,” Gowan says. “I don’t see a lot of local artists doing videos right now, and that’s one of the things I’m trying to work on. I want them to know that with the right people, you can do it.”

PUSHING THE ENVELOPE Nancy Wright’s Greenville Underground ARTS aims to be a niche for progressive, freethinking creatives
ARTS CALEN DAR NOV. 17-23 2017
Greenville Symphony Orchestra
Mozart’s Magic Flute & Harp Nov. 17-19 ~ 467-3000 JOSHUA S. KELLY | CONTRIBUTOR
In the past few years, Greenville has seen a lot of growth and attracted attention – and new residents – from all over the country. And the city’s growing art scene caught the eye of Nancy Wright, a former artist whose paintings were sold in Nordstrom before she had to get a “regular 9-to-5” job. After years of working in the corporate field following the Great Recession, Wright felt it was time to return to what she loved. “I had been at my corporate job 10 years and dreamed of moving out of California and devoting the rest of my life to art and being in the company of other artists,” she says. After settling on Greenville, Wright sold her West Coast home, told her mother and three adult children goodbye, and moved east to start painting again. Wright says, “I told the company’s board that I was going to Greenville to make a difference in the art scene there.” With a specific vision of what she wanted to bring to the community, Wright set out to make a unique artists group. “Once here, I decided to start my own group, with unrestricted exhibits and an affordable way for emerging and professional artists to exhibit their art,” she says. Wright wanted to put on exhibits that pushed the public to think. Being from Los Angeles originally, she was accustomed to progressive and freethinking environments that didn’t shy away from testing the edges. “I believe art to be the purest form of selfexpression. I am a huge Warhol fan and loved his ‘underground’ concept, deciding to use it for our name,” she explains. “I felt we would be an undercurrent here of likeminded artists.” This past February, Wright and the Greenville Underground ARTS collective had their first show. At the time, only Wright and one other artist exhibited, photographer and artist Laurel
Bishop. “The moment I spoke with Laurel, I felt an immediate bond,” Wright says. Shortly after, Bruce Miller, a former Marvel Comic artist who had a building called Studio Unknown, and Brad J. Forth, a former New York City-based photographer for Condé Nast, joined Wright and Bishop. From there, Greenville Underground ARTS has continued to grow. True to Wright’s plan to hold controversial exhibits, Greenville Underground ARTS has put on several shows, including an erotic show and a horror-themed show and Halloween party. Their next exhibit, “Papa Don’t Preach,” is a religiousthemed show opening Dec. 9, and “Death” will open Jan. 20, 2018, to start the new year. “Our artists are diverse in age, backgrounds, and experience,” Wright explains. “With themed exhibits, we believe it encourages the artists to create outside their comfort zone.” Most importantly for Wright, the community that she has helped cultivate needs to be a place for artists to be able to thrive and be supported when they need it. “We all have one thing in common: a strong passion for art, fellow artists, community, and a belief that all art should be openly expressed, not suppressed,” she says. “We embrace all serious artists and are here to support them with no judgment.” More information about Greenville Underground ARTS can be found on meetup.com and their Facebook page, or by contacting greenvilleundergroundartists@gmail.com. Meetings are held on Wednesdays from 7-9 p.m. monthly at Studio Unknown.

AROUND THE WORLD IN 18 HOLES Golf-loving writer George Kitchens pens a travel guide to the world’s best courses
George Kitchens. Photo by Will Crooks VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR
vharris@communityjournals.com
George Kitchens, author of the new book “Golfing Across the Ponds: A Duffer’s Perspective,” is not a very good golfer. The retired physician would like you to know that upfront. “I’ve never really been any good,” he says with a laugh. “The best my handicap has ever been is 13, but as I’ve gotten older, it drifted up to 22. So I’m not masquerading as a good golfer or a perfectionist with technique.” What he is, however, is a genuine lover of the game and a man who’s played on over 540 courses around the world in his 73 years. His book is a combination travel guide and list of some of his favorite courses from around the world. He doesn’t rate them on difficulty so much as on ambience and attractiveness. And it’s easy to understand why. Kitchens grew up about 35 miles from Augusta National, by any standard one of the most
beautiful courses in the world. “My father never played, but I can remember that he told me that in the late ’40s, people from Augusta National were begging him to buy tickets to The Masters, because the tournament almost failed,” Kitchens says. “He and my mother would always go on that final Sunday because he worked six days a week. He’d talk about players being able to make a ball go left or right and control wherever it went, and it really made me interested in golf.” Kitchens took up the sport in his early teens, right before his aunt took him to The Masters for the first time in 1958. “I was just amazed,” he says. “I’d been to Atlanta to a baseball game. I’d been to Athens for a football game. I’d been to some sporting events. But I recognized really quickly that this was immaculate. The course was immaculate; the spectators were immaculate. That’s what really got me interested.” After that, even as he put in the hard work to get into medical school, Kitchens
“Golfing Across the Ponds: A Duffer’s Perspective” is available at Fiction Addiction and at the Greenville Country Club’s pro shops at Chanticleer and Riverside. was hooked. “On spring break, I’d go to Hilton Head and play 36 holes a day with my friends,” he says. “It was a real bonding experience.” Kitchens kept it local for a few decades while he was busy with his work, but he never stopped playing. In fact, one of his top five favorite courses is just up the road in Cashiers, N.C. “It was designed by [golf course architect] Tom Fazio in 1987, and he hit a home run with WH,” Kitchens says. As he began to have more free time in the early ’90s, Kitchens devoted himself to becoming a better golfer, and that’s also when his travels began. “I went every year to Ireland and Scotland from 1993 to 2004. I started keeping a list of my favorite courses,” Kitchens says. “I’ve been for-
tunate to play about 49 of the best in the world and 40 of the best in the country.” As his journal of favorite courses grew, Kitchens started contemplating the book, even if his ranking system was a bit different from Golf Digest’s. “I look at the condition of the course, how it looks (being on the water helps), the exclusivity of the memberships, and how many hoops I have to jump through to play on it,” he says. “It’s about the scenery, the routing, and then the ability to test your skill.” For the record, Dr. Kitchens’ top five all-time favorites are Pine Valley in New Jersey, Cypress Point in California, the Royal County Downs in Ireland, Wade Hampton Golf Club, and, of course, Augusta National.
Angee, lung cancer patient
1 clinical trial can make all the difference.
Lung cancer tried to take Angee down. But the right clinical trial was just the breakthrough she needed to keep fighting. When you’re facing advanced cancer, having access to more clinical trials means a better chance of finding the treatment that could change everything for you. At Levine Cancer Institute, we offer you more clinical trials and a wider range of treatment options than any other cancer center in the region. That means more opportunities to find a cure – and more hope for a future that’s cancer-free.

WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD WORDS BY ARIEL TURNER | PHOTOS BY WILL CROOKS
Larkin Hammond’s Italian restaurant Limoncello is steeped in family history
W
hen Larkin Hammond was a young child, she began cooking on a wood stove in her Italian grandmother’s kitchen. “She didn’t cook by recipe,” Hammond says. “She was the first farm-to-table person I met.” Hammond’s mother and grandmother also owned a neighborhood restaurant together. It was those experiences that laid the groundwork for Hammond’s life, a life that includes a string of successful food-oriented businesses – Larkin’s on the River, Grill Marks, and Larkin’s Events and Catering in Greenville, as well as four other concepts and locations in Columbia and North Carolina under the Larkin’s Restaurant banner. And now, there’s a new addition. Just a few weeks ago, Hammond opened the 172-seat Limoncello at RiversEDGE, 401 River St., in the former Playwright space.
Limoncello is the restaurant group’s first foray into Italian fare, a surprise given Hammond’s background, as well as Bob Munnich’s, Larkin’s chief operating officer. Munnich is also of Italian heritage. Both he and Hammond discovered their families came from the same region of Calabria. Furthermore, the first restaurant Munnich opened was an Italian spot in the Chestnut Hill area of Philadelphia. Munnich and Hammond combined their family recipes, and together with Larkin’s executive chef Alex Castro, reworked old favorites and created some new ones to develop a menu that is both reminiscent of their childhoods and comfortable for their customers. For instance, the limoncello, whole-fried branzini, and marinara, the secret of which he won’t discuss, are Munnich’s. The palm-sized meatballs and baked pasta dishes are Hammond’s.
Hammond’s grandmother owned an olive orchard in Italy, and Limoncello now carries the olive oil that’s produced there. “It’s very rich,” she says. “We use it sparingly.” The menu includes a variety of pizzas, traditional pastas, antipasto, lunchtime paninis, and house-made desserts. The latter are made by Munnich’s wife, Cindy, who crafts such delights as a lemon-almond torta made with limoncello-spiked lemon curd that Munnich resurrected from their days in Philly 25 years ago. The wine list is entirely Italian and curated by Larkin’s vice president of restaurant operations, Bruce Wise. Hammond says her goal was to create simple homecooked dishes, not an elaborate Italian meal for guests. The intended result: the type of dining experience they might receive at an Italian country home. “I didn’t want a fancy restaurant feel,” she says.

Chopped Italian Salad (Italian greens, tomato, cucumber, carrots, olives, pepperoncini, chickpeas, tossed in balsamic glaze and olive oil)
Hammond and Munnich initially had the idea to open an Italian restaurant years ago. This is nothing unusual for the pair. From idea to opening night, it took them 10 years to launch what would become Grill Marks. According to some, the restaurant space at the corner of Broad and River streets is too far off Main Street to be successful. But when the property became available, it presented Hammond and Munnich with the perfect opportunity to open their neighborhood Italian restaurant, a restaurant that area residents can visit on an average weeknight without a big to-do. “You can’t do a neighborhood restaurant on Main Street,” Hammond says. Hammond says they eventually plan to open for breakfast, serving pastries and coffee, which they source from Due South Coffee Roasters. Current hours of operation are Monday–Thursday, 11 a.m.–10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m.–11 p.m.; and Sunday, 10 a.m.–9 p.m.

Noah Guthrie w/ Megan Davis
CONCERT
NOV. 17
For those familiar with Noah Guthrie from his role as Roderick on Fox’s hit series “Glee,” his own music might be a bit of a surprise. He’s certainly skilled at covering modern pop radio material and making it his own, but his songwriting trends toward grittier, intimate folk-rock, often accompanied only by his propulsive acoustic guitar playing. It’s an interesting duality, but Guthrie says he’s used to it. “I’d had my own original album out before I went on ‘Glee,’” he says. “In fact, I was touring behind it when I got the call. So I’ve experienced that dual life my whole career, hopefully while steering people toward my original sound. But I’m in a decent spot now because I feel like fans are following me where I want them to go, regardless of where they came from.” Guthrie’s new album, “The Valley,” is a compelling mix of storytelling and autobiography, all in service of creating an emotional response. “The main goal for me is ‘What’s the overall feeling of this song?’” he says. “How should it make people feel? There’s a storytelling aspect, but it’s more about the way I convey it. I want to make the listener feel something.” —Vincent Harris

SOULFUL SOUNDS OF CHRISTMAS
When Charleston’s The Travelin’ Kine released their debut full-length album, “Change in the Wind” in 2016, it wasn’t just a great blend of Southern rock and country twang; it was a statement of purpose. Singer/ songwriter Slaton Glover conceived the album as a declaration of music as his true passion. Glover, who comes from a family of firefighters, was reeling from the loss of some of his best friends in Charleston’s catastrophic Sofa Super Store fire, and in the aftermath, music became his outlet. Now, more than a year removed from the album’s release, Glover says the band is going strong. “The album has done well for us,” he says. “And pretty much immediately after it came out I started writing songs for a new album.” That new album is being produced by a fast-rising friend of Glover’s: Josh Roberts of Josh Roberts & The Hinges. “I’m really happy with the work he’s doing,” Glover says. “He’s really helped me out with the lyrics. In the past, I’d have written a song and that was the song. And he said, ‘People write books and edit constantly. What makes you think songwriters shouldn’t?’” —Vincent Harris

Mannheim Steamroller Christmas by Chip Davis
Peace Center | 300 S. Main St. | 7 p.m. | $55–$85 For many people, the Christmas season hasn’t begun until they’ve heard the familiar synthesized tones of Mannheim Steamroller’s instrumental version of “Deck the Halls.” That song, which first appeared on Steamroller’s 1984 album “Christmas,” essentially created a second career for the neo-classical group, which was formed in 1974 by keyboard player Chip Davis. Up until then, the band had made their name with a series of ambient, experimental New Age music called “Fresh Aire,” which they ultimately released eight volumes of. But that initial step into Yuletide favorites put them into a new category; their first holiday album ultimately became the seventh-biggest selling Christmas release of all-time, going triple platinum and remaining a strong seller for over three decades. Since then, Mannheim Steamroller has released more than 20 additional Christmas-themed releases over the years, selling nearly 30 million albums in the U.S. alone and becoming one of the most reliable holiday touring acts in the country. —Vincent Harris

This is a story about a baale. A real life baale happens all around us every day. It’s a baale against all of the things in life that are hard, and sometimes people don’t win. Sometimes their stockings are still empty on Christmas morning, or they have to go to bed hungry, or they don’t go to bed at all because they don’t have a home, or even a place to sleep. But there is an Army dedicated to fighting this baale. They are in every town and in every city. A bell is their baale cry and their weapons are hope, kindness and compassion. Best of all, anyone can join them wherever there is a Red Keele. Because at Christmas, love has an army that Fights for Good. When you give, you help The Salvation Army fight for those most in need.
Be the Good this Christmas.
