A SAFER PATH
Bike Walk Greenville meets funding deadline for Lakeview Swamp Rabbit Trail spur
Bike Walk Greenville has met a July 1 deadline to raise $100,000 for construction of a spur that will connect Lakeview Middle School and parts of Sans Souci and Berea to the Greenville Health System Swamp Rabbit Trail. Construction of the 0.4-mile trail will start in January and should be completed by spring 2019. Bike Walk Greenville, a 5-year-old nonprofit bicycle and walking connectivity advocacy organization, began raising money for the trail six months ago. Momentum Bike Club serves students at Lakeview Middle. But without the Lakeview Link spur, students cannot directly access the GHS Swamp Rabbit Trail. Instead, they must walk or bike Sulphur Springs Road and West Blue Ridge Drive, busy streets with no sidewalks and traffic whizzing by. The spur was the idea of Jennifer Hull, a creative writing teacher at Lakeview and one of the leaders of the bike club. In a Bike Walk Greenville promotional video for the Lakeview Link, she said many of Lakeview’s students and Momentum Bike Club members can’t go home and play outside, and the spur would give them safe access to the trail. She said having students access the trail via Sulphur Springs and West
Blue Ridge has been “risky, but worth it.” Greenville County is contributing the other $100,000 needed for the spur. “We want to thank the county for matching our raised funds dollar-for-dollar to achieve this publicprivate partnership,” said Frank Mansbach, executive director of Bike Walk Greenville. “We are also extremely grateful to the major donors and more than 125 private donors. With their contributions, the Lakev-
iew Link will help Berea and Sans Souci residents safely walk and bike to places they want to go.” Mansbach has said once the spur is finished, students could use the trail as a safe way to get to school. He said that more than 450 children live within a mile-and-a-half radius of the school and don’t have bus transportation. The spur could also give them better access to recreation and healthy food as well, he said.

WATER DAMAGED City Hall repairs could cost $2.5M CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF
clandrum@communityjournals.com
Greenville City Hall is leaking — and repairs could carry a price tag of about $2.5 million. City officials have been working with H2L Engineering Design, a company that specializes in high-rise rehabilitation, and Harper Construction to identify where the water that seeped in behind some Sheetrock and flooded the basement was coming from. It turns out the imported Italian architectural marble that covers the outside of the building’s elevator and stairwell shafts is porous and is allowing water to infiltrate the building, said James Crosby, the city’s building services manager. “The marble is seeping water, probably since day one,” said Mike Murphy, the city’s public works director, of the building that was first occupied in 1971. “Thankfully, it hasn’t damaged the building beyond repair.” To repair the problem, the bottom row of marble tiles will be removed and a concrete curb poured where the steel of the structure starts and a waterproof membrane installed. The bottom row will be replaced with concrete precast tile. The rest of the marble tiles will be treated with a water-resistant material, Crosby said. The repellent will have to be reapplied every five to seven years. A second phase of the repairs will include work to prevent groundwater from getting into the basement, Murphy said. Murphy said the city will use a construction manager at risk for the project. Under that format, the city will get a guaranteed maximum price from the contractor. He said he hopes the $2.5 million estimate can be reduced. Murphy said the plan does not call for City Hall to be covered by scaffolding. Instead, the plan is to have workers rappel from the top of the building. But the contractors will likely have to take over the parking lot behind City Hall during the project. “There will be inconvenience,” he said. City Manager John Castile said water has been getting into the building for a long time. The city has made repairs in the past, but the problem would reappear months later. “Water can be evasive,” he said. “We need a comprehensive fix.” Eleven options were considered, including replacing all the marble. The repairs may not be the only ones needed at City Hall. The city is doing comprehensive evaluations of 10 of its 105 buildings. Murphy said the heating and air conditioning system is a challenge and it is difficult to find replacement parts for the elevators, which are the originals.

PANDA-MONIUM Greenville Zoo announces birth of red panda cubs ANDREW MOORE | STAFF
amoore@communityjournals.com
The Greenville Zoo has a few new residents. Zoo director Jeff Bullock announced on Tuesday, June 19, the arrival of three red panda cubs born to Collette, the zoo’s 6-year-old female, and Zheng, the zoo’s 8-year-old male. The cubs, which have not been named yet, are the first set of triplets born at the Greenville Zoo since 2006. They are the first offspring for Collette and Zheng. Collette previously gave birth to a cub, Willie Nelson, on Father’s Day in 2015. The cub was later transferred to the Knoxville Zoo as part of the Red Panda Species Survival Program (SSP). “We still worry anytime an animal goes into labor, but by Wednesday morning, all three cubs were squeaking and squirming in the nest box, with Collette taking excellent care of her new litter,” Bullock said in a news release. “At this point, all three cubs are doing well, appear healthy and happy, have good weight, and are active.” The zoo was aware of Collette’s pregnancy thanks to several ultrasounds performed earlier this year, according to Bullock. Jennifer Stahl, who maintains the zoo’s Asian Forest exhibit, found Collette in the process of giving birth as she was making her final rounds before closing early last week, according to Bullock. The zoo’s staff then performed a quick exam when Collette left her nesting box to eat, discovering two female cubs and one male cub.
Bullock said the three red panda cubs are still too young to open their eyes and rely completely on Collette for care. Guests, however, may be able to catch a quick glimpse of the cubs as Collette moves them from one den to another. Red pandas are native to Asia and are commonly found in Nepal, India, Bhutan, Myanmar, and China, the zoo said in the release. The animals, which have a lifespan of 12 to 14 years, are known for their red and off-white markings, large puffy tails, and pointed ears. Like giant pandas, they require specialized diets and eat large amounts of bamboo each day. Today, the red panda faces numerous conservation threats, including hunting, poaching, deforestation, and habitat fragmentation. It is currently listed as a vulnerable species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. The Red Panda SSP is designed 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. Both Collette and Zheng were transferred to Greenville as a recommendation by the program, Bullock said. Collette was born on June 11, 2012, at Great Plains Zoo in Sioux Falls, S.D. She was transferred to the Greenville Zoo in March 2013, according to the release. Zheng was born on June 24, 2008, at the Detroit Zoo and was transferred to the Greenville Zoo in December 2016.

A new project along the river’s banks could improve water quality, reduce flooding WORDS BY ANDREW MOORE
Despite years of cleanup, the Reedy continues to face numerous water quality threats and has been listed by the state as “impaired,” a designation that signals possible health risks. Photo by Will Crooks/Greenville Journal he Reedy River has become a crown jewel for Greenville, and now the city has launched a new project to improve the river’s water quality and reduce flooding that has long been a concern for downtown. Despite its recent status as a downtown attraction, the Reedy historically has been one of the most-polluted waterways in South Carolina. Once the dumping ground for local textile mills, the upper portion of the 65-mile-long river is said to have changed colors daily, depending on which dyes mills were using to color fabrics, according to Greenville Mayor Knox White. The river’s water quality has improved over the past few decades thanks to cleanup efforts by a number of local conservation groups and government agencies. The latest project, which is part of Unity Park’s construction in West Greenville, aims to create a more natural course for the river by sculpting its banks, said Darren Meyer, principal of the Columbus, Ohio-based urban design and landscape architecture firm MKSK, which was hired by the city to come up with a plan for the park and surrounding area. Meyer said his firm plans to expand the park’s active floodplain by excavating a bankfull bench, which is a flat or shallowly sloped area above the water level, along a 30-foot river channel that runs through the heart of the property. MKSK’s restoration project along the channel would slow floodwater along the Reedy and decrease the risk of flooding farther downstream in downtown, according to Meyer. The project also calls for the preservation of the area’s significant trees and installation of riparian vegetation along the river’s banks that would serve as a natural filter for sediment and reduce erosion, improving water quality. In addition to improving water quality conditions, the remediation project could also help improve habitats for fish and invertebrates in the river, as well as the birds and mammals that prey upon them, Meyer said. The city’s remediation of the river channel will also create accessible viewsheds of natural bedrock features and integrate a pedestrian trail system into the expanded bank zone.
Meyer said the upcoming remediation project would occur in the early stages of the park’s construction in order to complete the permitting process and secure funding, which could stem from stormwater user fees, as well as state and federal grants. Cost estimates for the project are still being developed by the city. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently awarded a $300,000 grant to the city to conduct environmental assessments within the park and surrounding area, according to a news release. Beginning in October, the grant will be available for three year. White said the city could also potentially get millions of dollars in mitigation credits from the river work. Mitigation banking is a system of credits and debits devised to ensure that ecological loss, especially to wetlands and streams, is compensated for by the preservation and restoration of wetlands and streams in other areas.
PROTECTING THE RIVER
In order to preserve the river and other natural resources throughout the park’s 22 acres, the city has hired Maryland-based environmental consulting firm Biohabitats to oversee the conservation planning, ecological restoration, and design of the property. Through the city’s framework, Biohabitats will determine what natural aspects should be preserved, restored, and accentuated on the Unity Park property. Biohabitats president Keith Bowers will be leading the work for the firm. Bowers, who founded Biohabitats in 1984, has more than 30 years of experience leading teams of biologists, geologists, ecologists, arborists, mapping technicians, soil scientists, engineers, landscape architects, and planners on more than 1,000 projects. Biohabitats’ conservation plans have been applied to wetlands, coastal habitats, prairies, woodlands, parks, campuses, residential and commercial developments, and endangered species habitats. The company works with government agencies, universities, and other institutions to plan for growth that helps the environment.

Recently, Biohabitats was tasked with leading the watershed management initiative for Baltimore at the city and county level. The 20-year project will improve water quality and aquatic habitat in the Chesapeake Bay to allow for a swimmable, fishable Inner Harbor. The company was also recently selected by the city of Atlanta to conduct an 18-month study that “will result in a comprehensive plan that highlights how to preserve Atlanta’s unique natural resources as our population grows and to establish a citywide ecological framework that supports healthy environments for people and wildlife.” Bowers said his company would work with the city of Greenville and MKSK over the next year or so to not only identify Unity Park’s selection of natural resources and their impact on the region but to also design the riparian systems and floodplains as part of the stream restoration project. “We will be looking at the master plans that have been developed over the years and advising the team on any types of improvements or enhancements that can be made to emphasize the ecological components of the site,” he said. Biohabitats will also create an adaptive management plan to help the city prepare for and better respond to any issues, such as flooding, that could alter the Reedy and surrounding area, Bowers said. The company will also develop an operations and maintenance plan to help the city’s parks and recreation department manage the Unity Park property. “Ecological systems aren’t static,” he said. “Storms and other natural events can have a big impact on the park, so the city has to have the patience and ability to adapt when it does change in order to preserve the property’s natural resources.”
RECLAIMING THE RIVER
White said the upcoming restoration project is “the next step in reclaiming the Reedy.” The idea of focusing on the river and creating parks and green spaces along it can be traced to a 1907 master plan created by a Boston landscape architecture firm for the Municipal League of Greenville, according to White. The plan, which recommended the city restore the river and develop numerous parks along it, also suggested the city tear down the bridge over the Reedy to create an unobstructed view of the falls, according to White. In 1998, White began to push to remove the Camperdown Bridge in order to create a signature public space below the falls. After years of back-and-forth talks to remove what many people saw as “a perfectly good bridge,” according to White, the city eventually tore down the bridge and constructed Falls Park, which opened in 2004. It has since become one of downtown Greenville’s most popular features, attracting thousands of visitors every year and hosting dozens of events, including the Duck Derby. The city’s next step in reclaiming the Reedy came in November 2003, when it announced RiverPlace — the multimillion-dollar development on the west bank of the river that now includes residences, office buildings, and several hotels. Unlike past projects, however, White said the upcoming effort to create a natural path for the Reedy in West Greenville could serve as a potential model for how the city and county tackle future restoration work throughout the river corridor.
A HISTORY OF POLLUTION
Renderings provided by MKSK show how the Reedy River’s design will evolve in the coming years as the Ohio-based urban design and landscape architecture firm works to create a more natural path for the river by excavating the banks of a 30-foot channel that runs through West Greenville.
The Reedy River, which is a tributary of the Saluda River, is about 65 miles long, according to Friends of the Reedy River, and flows across Greenville and Laurens counties. Despite years of cleanup, the Reedy continues to face numerous water quality threats and has been listed by the state as “impaired,” a designation that signals possible health risks, according to Maddi Phillips, community relations coordinator for the Greenville County Soil and Water Conservation District. Greenville’s portion of the river, for instance, continues to be hampered by excessive amounts of E. coli bacteria, which flow downstream from a number of sources, including cattle farms, leaky sewer pipes, and pet waste, Phillips said. The bacteria can not only impair waterways but also contaminate sources of drinking water, limit recreation opportunities, damage the habitat of aquatic animals and plants, and make people and pets ill if ingested, she added. Another big threat to the Reedy River’s water quality is Greenville’s increasing amount of development, which causes runoff from paved surfaces and construction sites, according to Rob Hanley, a senior environmental scientist at TRC and board member of Friends of the Reedy River, a local conservation group.

DID YOU KNOW? Dog waste remains one of the leading contributors to the Reedy River’s excessive levels of E. coli bacteria, according to Maddi Phillips, community relations coordinator for the Greenville County Soil and Water Conservation District. E. coli bacteria impair waterways and can contaminate sources of drinking water, limit recreation opportunities, damage the habitat of fish and other aquatic animals and plants, and make humans and pets ill if ingested. “Dog poop contains much higher levels of E. coli bacteria than that of geese, deer, and other wildlife and does not make for good fertilizer due to the bacteria content. When left on the ground, pet waste is carried by stormwater into local waterways,” said Phillips.
from parking lots and roads sometimes dump untreated stormwater in the river. Trash can also be swept downstream when the river overflows during rainstorms. In parts of northern Greenville County, for example, increased stormwater runoff has increased the magnitude of peak flows within the river, resulting in loss of aquatic habitat, bank erosion, and increased sediment loading. The Reedy is also adversely affected by large amounts of litter within its channel and along its banks. It also contains high nutrient levels that can cause harmful algae blooms, reduce dissolved oxygen in the water, and in turn kill fish. The source of the nutrients is believed to be failing and malfunctioning septic tanks, which can leak onto the surface of the ground and wash into waterways, Hanley said.
CLEANING THE RIVER
Luckily, partners ranging from regional conservation groups to government agencies are collaborating to combat further contamination of the Reedy River. The Reedy River Water Quality Group, which formed in 2015, includes a diverse collection of stakeholders, ranging from local governments to conservation groups, that are working together to “develop water quality improvement plans using water quality monitoring, river system modeling, public education on pollution prevention, successful practice review, and economic impact analysis,” according to a mission statement. For instance, the city of Greenville has partnered with Renewable Water Resources and Greenville County since 2015 to administer a cost-share assistance program within the Huff Creek Watershed, which feeds into the Reedy, to help home and business owners repair or replace their failing septic tanks. The city and county also work alongside the state Department of Health and Environmental Control to compile water quality data from about 17 grab sample and continuous monitoring locations along the river. The group is now working to identify best-management practices based on their effectiveness, cost, and overall benefit to the community. BMPs can include landscape activities, maintenance procedures, treatment requirements, and various other practices to prevent or reduce the pollution of waterways, according to Hanley. For example, the city of Greenville is putting in place a series of stormwater management regulations,
a move that will substantially reduce the amount of pollution that runs off of streets and construction sites. The county, too, is strengthening its stormwater program, and developers are showing increasing interest in lower-impact techniques. Local governments and private organizations are also working together to educate people living within the Reedy River Watershed about the importance of protecting water quality and the river around which they make their homes.
SEEING THE BIGGER PICTURE
While the city’s upcoming effort to restore the Reedy to a more natural path could provide a boost to the river’s water quality and native species, it won’t be the silver bullet that fixes other ecological problems throughout the corridor, according to Meyer. “Flooding and water quality are watershed-scale issues. We can’t solve those issues with a single project like this,” Meyer said. “But the only way to address these bigger issues is to do it incrementally and start projects like this one that can become models for restorations further upstream or downtown, at which point you begin to see improvement.” In addition to the restoration project, MKSK is working with the city to reduce impervious surfaces in the park by 50 percent to reduce stormwater runoff, which can further pollute the channel and wetlands with a toxic mix of nutrients, heavy metals, and hydrocarbons, according to Meyer. Last year, for instance, the city relocated its public works building from the park property to 33 acres near Mauldin Road. The old facility will be demolished later this year and remain a passive green space until the park’s development. The city also plans to work in conjunction with MKSK and Biohabitats to ensure the park’s design provides surrounding communities with “equal and quality access” to the park and its natural resources, Bowers said. “We want the park to be as inclusive as possible.” Bowers said his firm, as well as the city and MKSK, will be working more closely with local conservation groups, including Upstate Forever and Friends of the Reedy River, in the future to receive feedback and recommendations on the park’s design. Both groups serve on the park’s advisory committee, which was organized several years ago. “There are so few opportunities to feature a natural wetland within an urban park, and by restoring this natural wetland, the city could create a rare oasis in the center of town,” said Heather Nix, clean water director at Upstate Forever. “We’re looking forward to working with the environmental consultants on the restoration plans.”

SOLVING A MYSTERY
Literary sleuth Susanna Ashton reveals author of SC slave narrative WORDS BY PAUL HYDE
With the help of several Clemson undergraduate assistants, Susanna Ashton, Clemson University Department of English chair, traced Sam Williams’ life from the age of 9 when he was separated from his family to become a personal slave for a Confederate officer. Photo by Clemson University – University Relations
It was a mystery that had stumped scholars for years: Who was Sam Aleckson? Aleckson was the supposed author of the slave narrative “Before the War, and After the Union,” a poignant testament to both the horrors of slavery and the surprising kindness of some South Carolinians in the antebellum South. But little was known about Aleckson outside of his 75-page self-portrait of struggle and survival. “He wrote a really remarkable book about South Carolina,” said Susanna Ashton, chair of Clemson University’s English department. “But there’s almost nothing in the historical records about Sam Aleckson. He seemed not to exist.” Thanks to some persistent literary sleuthing, however, Ashton recently was able to write a full account of the ex-slave’s life, publicly revealing, among many other things, that his name was not “Sam Aleckson” but actually Samuel Williams. Ashton and several Clemson undergraduate assistants traced Williams’ life from the age of 9 when he was separated from his family to become a personal slave for a Confederate officer. After the Civil War, Williams reunited with his family in Charleston and enjoyed a long life, almost reaching his 100th year before his death in Cambridge, Mass., in the mid-1940s. “Once you have a name, a whole world can open up,” said Ashton, who specializes in poring over dusty archives and voluminous census data in search of information about the authors of slave narratives. “Bit by bit, we pieced it all together, and it’s really a remarkable and triumphant American story in a lot of beautiful ways,” she said. Through painstaking research, Ashton and her students located a distant relative of Williams — a great-great-grandniece — in California, obtained the only known photo of Williams, and fleshed out the details of the heretofore obscure author’s life.
A slave’s love for South Carolina
Williams, born into slavery in 1852, wrote “Before the War, and After the Union” in 1914 or 1922, long after he left South Carolina and while working as an in-house servant in Vermont. The memoir was finally published in 1929 in limited quantities on Williams’ son-in-law’s press. Today, only 27 copies of the original book can be found in libraries and historical archives. Ashton’s team was able to document that the fair-skinned Williams, as a child, had worked in South Carolina as a porter, errand boy, and personal slave to a Confederate officer in Secessionville on James Island. “His older brother died of malaria or yellow fever at age 12 while serving as a slave to a Confederate officer,” Ashton said. “His white masters sent him (the young Williams) at age 9 to take his brother’s place. That’s not the kind testimony we hear much about — the starvation and terror of serving in that situation at such a young age.” Through census records, Ashton’s team discovered Williams’ first wife and son died in the 1880s. Williams later married a woman with whom he apparently raised several children. Williams’ slave narrative is important for several reasons, including for the portrait it paints of the life of urban slaves in Charleston, Ashton said. “He had some advantages in his life that many other slaves didn’t have,” Ashton said. “He was urban. He was not out doing plantation work. Most of the time he was living in the house of his father’s enslavers. We know so little about the life of urban enslaved people. He has so many insights into that.” Williams’ memoir includes glimpses into the labor of enslaved children in 19th-century Charleston, from working as jockeys in horse races for the entertainment of white gamblers to forced servitude for the Confederacy.

Williams’ pen name
“Through courage, a lot of luck, and a huge amount of hard work, Williams managed to build this life for himself. He didn’t forget the suffering, but he remembered it alongside the love he took with him, and that’s a lesson for anyone.” Susanna Ashton
What also makes Williams’ account of slavery in South Carolina so unique is the author’s strikingly nuanced approach to the topic, Ashton said. Slaveholders could be cruel, separating families and brutally punishing those who were thought to be insufficiently obedient. Yet Williams also professes his love for the state and the white people he knew. “He has fond things to say of many of the white people who enslaved his family,” Ashton said. “He’ll say, ‘They were kindly, good people,’ and then casually in the next sentence he’ll say, ‘And then they took my mother to be sold away from me and I didn’t see her until after the war.’” “He wraps appreciation and love together with some incredible cruelty that he’ll casually mention because it was so naturalized,” she said. Williams writes with particular affection about three white women who, in violation of the law, taught the young Williams to read and write — giving him the ability, decades later, to write his autobiography. “These ladies clearly had a lot of love in their hearts,” Ashton said. “Teaching him to read was technically illegal. In the 20th century, he was still talking about how kind they were and the advantages literacy gave him in later life.” Ultimately, Williams’ memoir is “about love and reconciliation,” and his life is an iconic American story, Ashton said. “Through courage, a lot of luck and a huge amount of hard work, Williams managed to build this life for himself,” Ashton said. “He didn’t forget the suffering, but he remembered it alongside the love he took with him, and that’s a lesson for anyone.”
Writers of slave narratives only rarely used pseudonyms — they wanted the record of their lives to be verifiable — but Ashton determined that Williams had relatives still living in South Carolina at the time when he was writing his memoir, and he most likely wanted to protect them from possible reprisal. But why did Williams choose the curious pen name of Sam Aleckson? The answer was one of the more obvious facts uncovered by Ashton’s team. “It took an undergraduate to point out that Samuel Williams’ father was Alexander, so he was Alex’s son — or ‘Aleckson,’” Ashton said.
Telling Williams’ real story
What first sparked Ashton’s literary journey in search of Williams was an unexpected letter she received eight years ago. In 2010, Ashton published “I Belong to South Carolina,” a collection of seven South Carolina slave narratives, including the one by “Sam Aleckson.” When a story appeared in The State newspaper about the book, a descendant of Williams wrote to Ashton, saying that “Sam Aleckson” was actually “Samuel Williams.” After confirming that Williams was indeed “Sam Aleckson,” Ashton and her assistants set out to find out everything they could about the author, going far beyond the information supplied by Williams’ relatives. “The family has always known about him and his real name, but it had never been out in the world,” Ashton said. “It was never shared by the family. So we found as many images and documents as we could to tell this story to the public.” Ashton’s team not only revealed details of Williams’ life but also uncovered facts about Williams’ memoir. Williams, it seems, had not only given himself a false name but also had disguised the names of several people and places in his story. “It was very interesting because so many of the names and places were fake,” Ashton said. “We spent a long time trying to track down the real names of all these people and whether they really existed and what we could verify about this story and what really happened to him and his family.” Ashton’s research into Williams’ life is an ongoing public-humanities project, and she invites feedback. “This is everybody’s history,” she said. “It belongs to everybody and it’s evolving. If you have information about these families, please let us know. Let us build this story out.”

A new approach to Alzheimer’s and dementia caregiving By Kelly Harris, activity director, Cascades Verdae (10 Fountainview Terrace, Greenville, SC 29607; 864-528-5501)
June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, a time dedicated to increasing public awareness of Alzheimer’s disease. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, an estimated 5.7 million Americans of all ages have Alzheimer’s. In 2018, someone in the United States develops Alzheimer’s every 65 seconds. By 2050, someone in the United States will develop the disease every 33 seconds. Understanding that your loved one may have a form of dementia can be difficult and trying. Dementia is a generalized term for a mental decline that is severe enough to interfere with daily life. It impairs mental functions such as memory, thinking, and reasoning. While there is no single test that can diagnose dementia, it’s vital to identify and become aware of the symptoms attributed to the decline. There are various cases of dementia, and on average, Alzheimer’s accounts for 60 percent to 80 percent of cases, while vascular dementia (which often occurs after a stroke) is the second-most-common form. For a long time, the trend in dementia care has been centered around the caregiver instead of the care receiver. Today, we’re seeing a unique shift in the caregiving culture that involves engaging elders to prevent agitation and confusion before they begin. The key to this switch is that caregivers are encouraged to join the patient’s current reality, taking a person-centered approach to the patient’s care instead of trying to orient the patient to the reality of the caregiver. Reality orientation is a powerful technique in which information about time, place, or person is offered to help someone understand his or her surroundings. When used to aid those with dementia, however, the technique can be more harmful than helpful. For example, memory-care residents may believe that they are in their 20s or 30s and rather than dissuading them from their realities, caregivers can just join them in those realities. We may even learn more about the patients in the process. Directing a resident to real-time orientation might bring out challenging behaviors including anger, confusion, distrust, and suspiciousness. In addition to being ineffective, reality orientation can also contribute to depression and isolation. Each time patients are corrected, we are telling them that they’re wrong. At Cascades Verdae, we take a person-centered approach to caring for our residents. We encourage caregivers to meet each individual’s cognitive needs on his or her level, which enhances self-esteem, promotes participation, and allows for more effective caregiving. It is the belief that even though the person with dementia may not remember how we helped or served them, it mattered that we were truly with them in that moment — walking with them, instead of telling them to keep up with where we are. This is the culture that we champion at Cascades Verdae. It is exciting and rewarding to see the positive effect on both the resident and the caregiver.

PURPLE HEART VETERANS TO STOP IN GREENVILLE DURING COAST-TO-COAST TRUCK RUN MELODY WRIGHT | CONTRIBUTOR
mwright@communityjournals.com
A group of Purple Heart recipients has a new mission: They’re on a coast-to-coast journey to personally thank Americans for their support. The combat-wounded and disabled veterans plan a June 30 stop in Greenville as part of the Purple Heart Truck Run, which is intended to raise awareness about the mobility needs of wounded veterans. The Military Order of the Purple Heart and nonprofit Wounded Warriors Family Support are jointly sponsoring the event. The veterans, traveling in style in a mobility-equipped 2018 Ford F-150 pickup, will visit the TD Saturday Market, on Main Street, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Paid for by WWFS, the Ford pickup was uniquely designed to enable veterans who are paralyzed or have lost limbs to drive. At the 2018 MOPH National Convention in Washington state, which will be the truck’s final stop on July 30, the keys of the truck will be given to a disabled veteran selected from a nationwide search. Throughout the run, supporters can sign the truck with gold-ink pens. By the time the truck reaches the final stop, it will be covered in names and encouraging messages. Also at each stop, WWFS is providing, to interested entities, free signs denoting special parking for combat-wounded veterans. “I'm hoping there will be a good turn-
out at our stop in Greenville,” driver Justin Burdette says. “I look forward to sharing how the Military Order of the Purple Heart is helping wounded veterans regain independence through adapted vehicles.” Burdette, a double-amputee Purple Heart recipient, has been tapped as the first driver of the trip both this year and in 2017. The theme of the Purple Heart Truck Run is “mobility is freedom.” With the right vehicle for mobility, wounded veterans can live productive, quality lives with their loved ones. “The mission is to help these Purple Heart recipients and all veterans in any way we can,” says Douglas Greenlaw, founder of MOPH Chapter 845 in Greenville. The chapter was named in 2015 in honor of Capt. Kimberly N. Hampton, an Upstate native and the first female killed in aerial combat in Iraq. MOPH, a brotherhood of about 50,000
veterans in the United States, helps veterans reintegrate into civilian life while maintaining as much independence as possible. Through grass-roots efforts at the local chapters, MOPH offers a variety of programs, from help for post-traumatic stress disorder to building ramps and customizing homes for veterans with disabilities. The Purple Heart Run promotes MOPH’s mission in a physical way across the nation — providing independence through mobility for combat-wounded veterans. “For the community, they’ll get an understanding of who we are,” Greenlaw says. “The truck is a classic example of who we are and what we do.” Currently running for national commander in the August elections, Greenlaw served in the Army for three years before a booby trap sent him home for good. “When you see the horrors of war at 18 and 19 years old, it has a traumatic effect on your life,” Greenlaw says.
As part of its coast-to-coast journey, the Purple Heart Truck Run has a scheduled stop in Greenville on June 30 at the TD Saturday Market, on Main Street, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Supporters can sign the truck with gold-ink pens. Also at each stop, WWFS is providing, to interested entities, free signs denoting special parking for combat-wounded veterans.

Swift Charities donates $150K to Miracle Hill Ministries Swift Charities has presented a $150,000 grant to Miracle Hill Ministries to build one of the eight transitional houses comprising Miracle Hill at Restoration Place, a recovery village that will support recent graduates of the organization’s Overcomers residential addiction program. Swift representatives presented the award on June 19. “We love partnering with Miracle Hill because we see the difference being made in the community. They are delivering a better life, whether it’s for the homeless, people overcoming addiction, or for kids in foster care,” said Yvonne Howell, Swift Charities ambassador for the Greer terminal, according to a news release. Miracle Hill at Restoration Place is located directly behind the Overcomers Center and will allow graduates to remain in close proximity to not only the center but also other important resources. The 7-acre community will house up to 48 men and will include a shared green space that will be utilized for cookouts, sports, and fellowship. Each three-bedroom home will be built to Energy Star efficiency standards. The total cost of the project is expected to be nearly $1.8 million. Construction will continue as funds are raised. Swift Charities Executive Director Jim Stone said in an award letter, “It is our intention to leverage our monetary gift and passion for this project by sharing our excitement and the opportunity to participate with like-minded customers and suppliers.” Additionally, the company hopes to participate actively in a work project, helping to build out the infrastructure of this transitional community.

TRAVELERS REST HIGH SCHOOL
Student wins an environmental scholarship Claire Windsor has been given the 2018 Greater Greenville Sanitation District Sustainable Schools Program Environmental Scholarship. Windsor was chosen from students across Greenville County School District and will receive $1,000. She was the 2018 valedictorian for Travelers Rest High School. Windsor has served as an officer in the Beta Club, National Honor Society, Lions Club, and the ecological awareness club during her time at TR High School. She plans to attend the University of South Carolina Honors College to double major in global and environmental studies. “One of Claire’s biggest accomplishments while at Travelers Rest High was a recycling program that she single-handedly researched, implemented, promoted, and evaluated. As an adviser on this project, it was amazing to watch Claire work so hard to try and get her fellow students to buy into the recycling campaign,” said Michael Eudy, the science department chair at Travelers Rest High, in a news release. Seniors across Greenville County who are planning to pursue a degree related to the environment, public education, waste management, or sustainability were eligible to apply for the scholarship. Finalists were selected on the basis of their past work in their school and/or community to help with waste minimization. Submit education news items at bit.ly/GJEducation.

Epic Novels for Epic Trips words by A.K. Freeland | photography by Eli Warren With a great novel at the ready, the adventure starts as soon as bags are checked. I put as much planning into what I’ll read on a trip as I do the destination itself, saving big reads (in size or impact) for significant pockets of time. Getting to know characters in a different culture and place deepens my imagination for the destination. I remember the characters, their hearts, and their dilemmas long after the last page. I recall visually stunning landscapes I have yet to physically visit. Epic novels take you to a place you haven’t been with people you haven’t met, but will know well after. HEAD WEST You may have seen the miniseries, but you may not know that Larry McMurtry’s novel “Lonesome Dove” won a Pulitzer. Former Texan Rangers embark on a cattle-herding journey from Lonesome Dove to Montana, providing the backdrop for the end of the Old West, the hardships of travel, and the friendship between Augustus and Captain W.F. Call. Their partnership is marked by differences leading to harsh, hilarious and tender exchanges. By the end of the novel I had met two people that I admired so much, I have thought about how they may solve a problem at hand. VENTURE EAST More page relisher than page tuner, “A Fine Balance” by Rohinton Mistry weaves a stunning tale. Mrs. Dina Dalal, a Parsi widow and two Hindu tailors, Ishvar and Omprakash, create an accidental family while experiencing “The Emergency” in India in the 1970s. Sensory details offer understanding of a period in India not often taught on our side of the pond. You picture these characters as they meet, sew, love and age; be prepared for humor, tenderness, unparalleled respect, and heartbreak.
GO SOUTH, WAY SOUTH Nothing makes time pass like a tale of forbidden love, familial protocol, war, food, and magical realism. Originally published in 1989 (translated into English in 1992), “Like Water for Chocolate” by Laura Esquirel is part legend, part soap opera. Beautiful Tita is forbidden to marry her love, Pedro, because she is the youngest daughter and must stay in the family home to care for her mother according to tradition. Each chapter begins as a recipe with Tita conveying passion, sadness, and longing through the food she prepares. TRAVEL NORTH, BUT DON’T STOP THERE Covering race relations across three continents may sound ambitious, but Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie pulls it off in the sensational “Americanah.” This novel follows Nigerian native Ifemelu — a lifestyle blogger — as she lives in Princeton, N.J. and travels to Trenton to have her hair braided. It is in the salon that she recounts her life in Nigeria. Her outsider perspective is enlightening and haunting. Ifemelu is both edgy and funny while exploring race relations in the United States, Nigeria, her upbringing, and her return home. This book is big and artfully spans a large territory, both in geography and understanding.

Wes Gilliam, Geoffrey Cannada, and David Raghib, the co-owners of Greenville’s Radio Room concert venue, bar, and restaurant on Poinsett Highway, would love to tell you what it was like when they opened their new location one year ago. But since they had about three weeks to clear out of their old Pleasantburg Drive location; get a kitchen, bar, stage, and PA system set up; finish building renovations; and get all the necessary permits, there’s not too much they remember other than lots of work. Did we mention they were still open for business on Pleasantburg the whole time they were getting things ready on Poinsett? “I was desperately worried that we were forgetting something,” Raghib says. “We’d never dealt with a point-of-sale system. There were so many things that were completely foreign, and we didn’t have a single day to think about it. That was actually better in a way. It was difficult to have any expectations because it happened so fast. It was like, ‘We’re moving; this is happening.’ We knew we needed to get to work.” With Gilliam handling booking, Cannada running the kitchen, and Raghib managing the bar, the trio’s first year has been just as much of a blur, with the Radio Room hosting more than 236 events, including concerts by local bands (Hugger Mugger, Tom Angst), regional acts (Charleston’s SUSTO, Columbia’s Glass Mansions), and nationally known groups (American Aquarium, Nikki Lane), along with themed karaoke nights and private events. “We’ve tried a lot of different things in the last year,” Gilliam says, “and now we can look back and see what worked and what didn’t.” The venue will celebrate its first an-

niversary with a multiband show on Saturday featuring The Apartment Club, Chunx, Hugger Mugger, Mason Jar Menagerie, and Baby Baby, all bands that followed the Radio Room from its old location to Poinsett Highway, a move that doubled its capacity. “My reasoning was that these were the bands that were with us at the old place, and they’re still with us,” Gilliam says of the lineup. The learning curve was steep for the three men as they went from a private club that was open until 4 a.m. to a public one with a full kitchen, a closer proximity to downtown, and new daytime hours. “There’s a lot more to worry about,” Raghib says. “There are a lot more things going on because we’re busier. Those are good worries, but we’re learning that there’s always more we can do despite the fact that we’re always exhausted. I thought one day there was going to be a smack in the face, and we’d have a big epiphany and realize exactly what we need to do. But it’s something different
every day. I think the learning process is going to be years.” That applies to the concert booking and promotion tasks, as well. “There’s always something I could be doing,” Gilliam says. “I could spend another four or six hours every day working on something, whether it’s updating the website or buying groceries for the band’s hospitality riders.” This wasn’t a task the three owners were able to accomplish alone. All of them are quick to credit a hardworking staff and a loyal crowd of regulars for keeping them afloat during this first year. “The staff is what’s helped this place work as well as or better than the last place,” Cannada says. “They stepped up and work hard.” And their patrons often helped with everything from building renovations to manning the bar when they were short-staffed. “It was important for us to have people that had the experience along with us and have grown with us,” Raghib says. “We’ve always had a pretty tight crew and a loyal crowd.”

BACKSTAGE
WORDS BY VINCENT HARRIS PHOTO BY WILL CROOKS
Carter Allen is originally from Iowa, and he’s been on Greenville’s theater scene for only about two years, but his profile has grown over that time. As a member of the Greenville Little Theatre’s resident actor program, he’s moved from character-actor type roles in productions of “Footloose,” “Peter and the Starcatcher,” and “Mousetrap” to more out-front parts in “Ragtime” (as Harry Houdini), “Hairspray” (as Link Larkin, the love interest of the main character, Tracy Turnblad), and “Beauty and the Beast,” the Little Theatre’s current production in which he plays the enchanted candelabra, Lumiére.
When did you first become involved in acting, and when did you know this is something you wanted to do long term? I took my first acting class when I was 3 or 4 years old back in Iowa. My mom had taken me to see a bunch of live shows, and I fell in love with plays and musicals, anything that was on a stage. And from a very young age, it’s what I’ve always wanted to do. A lot of kids want to be a fireman one week or something else the next, but for me, this has always been, this is what I wanted to do.
What has been your most challenging role and why? It just happened last year. I played a romantic lead for the first time in my life. I played Link in “Hairspray” at the Greenville Little Theatre, and I’m typically a character actor. I play goofy friends or villains or weird parts. So, it was the first time I’d had the opportunity to be kind of this normal love interest. I hadn’t had that challenge before.
What has been your most enjoyable role and why? I like playing multiple roles in a show. That’s one of my favorite things to do, and I got to do that in a production of “The 39 Steps.” I played one of the clowns, and I did a whole bunch of different characters, some women, some old men, and it was a whole lot of fun.
What’s your favorite play? “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead” by Tom Stoppard. It’s one of my favorite plays I’ve ever read, and it’s on my dream list of shows to do. I’ve never gotten a chance to do it, and I love it.
Which actors inspire you? When I started out, comedic movies were really huge for me. People like Jim Carrey and Robin Williams were so unique that they were really inspiring. At that same time, my first acting teacher was named Greg Holt. He was also an actor, and he was a huge inspiration when I was first starting out. He still is. Right now, as far as famous performers go, Sam Rockwell is my favorite. He has such range as an actor; he plays so many different kinds of characters, and I really admire that.
What do you most enjoy about Greenville’s theater scene?
A Q&A with actor Carter Allen Backstage is a recurring series that appears in the Greenville Journal’s culture section that is designed to bring the theater community and the community at-large closer together through Q&As with local actors, directors, and designers who are instrumental in shaping our performing arts scene.
Coming here as an outsider, I had no idea what to expect. I got the job from an audition in Tennessee, and my first day was my first time meeting anyone in the theater community out here. But everyone was extremely kind to me from day one and welcomed me with open arms.
How has Greenville’s theater scene changed since you became involved? I think that the growth that’s happened since I’ve been here has been amazing. A lot of theaters are using more diverse casts, more modern productions. They’re kind of pushing the limits more without losing their base.
What is your hope for the future of theater in Greenville? It’s been really fun to see the depth of talent that’s here. I think that a lot of the talent I’ve seen is very young, so it’s going to continue to grow. In a few years, we’re going to have one of the best talent pools in the region.

CREATING A MASTERPIECE IN A DAY Michelle Jardines takes top prize in MAC’s Flat Out Under Pressure contest SARA PEARCE | STAFF
spearce@communityjournals.com
Michelle Jardines isn't just an artist — she's an artist who can create under pressure. Jardines bested nearly 120 artists who competed in the Metropolitan Arts Council’s ninth annual Flat Out Under Pressure contest, held June 15-16. Participants had 24 hours to complete a piece; their canvasses were stamped on Friday morning, and completed submissions were turned in Saturday morning. Eight winners were chosen to have their works featured on recycling bins in Greenville for the following year. Jardines, as the overall winner, received a cash prize and a trip for two to Italy, along with some spending money. Jardines is no stranger to the competition or Metropolitan Arts Council’s events throughout Greenville. She came to Greenville about four years ago and has settled comfortably into the

arts scene. She was a 2018 Artisphere Emerging Festival Artist, has done several shows of her collections, and created a mural as part of the Stone Mural Project. For the past two years, Jardines says, she altered her style and process to better fit the competition. This year, however, she decided to do what she does best. “In the past, I feel like I’ve put a lot of pressure on myself to do something different out of who I am, you know, just to be more impressive," she says. “But for whatever reason, this year I decided not to do that. I gave myself some grace just coming out of Artisphere, and I just tried to enjoy the competition and not stress about it.” Jardines says that while the competition is intense, it also fosters strong bonds between Greenville artists. “You go in there and you have no idea who’s competing against you,” she says. “It’s such a fantastic group of artists, and especially this year was the largest, which was great. There were lots of new faces, which was fun. All of the artists are there supporting each other, but at the same time, even though we are competing with each other, we have such a sense of community and just being here for each other whenever anybody needs anything. I feel
like we really come together as a group.” Jardines had to overcome difficulties to take home the winning prize. She was exhausted from Artisphere and just wanted to be herself in the competition. She also couldn’t find the correct canvas size and wasn’t able to start painting until late Friday afternoon, which was especially challenging given that she works in oil paint, which can take hours to dry. “Everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong, and it kind of ended up working out perfectly,” Jardines says. The competition is one of many events held by MAC throughout the year. “MAC has really brought so many opportunities to the community for us to really succeed here, and I think this is one of my favorite events of the year that MAC does,” she says. “I think joining MAC was a quintessential part of my career in Greenville. It opened up a lot of doors for me and opportunities. It helped me get to be able to know other artists. They really cater to the artists and try to help us bring art to the community.” The winners’ art is available to view at greenvillearts.com/mac-programs/foup, and will be on display in the MAC gallery until July 13.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT The NESS Fest plans to change your perception of ‘health food’ New food truck Cocobowlz will be serving its plantbased acai and pitaya bowls during The NESS Fest.
T
he NESS Fest founder and local event planner Brenda Luginbill doesn’t like the term “health food,” which may seem odd given that healthy eating is a main focus of the new health and wellness festival planned for Oct. 20-21 at Fluor Field. “Ultimately, it’s all about balance and understanding that what we put into our bodies affects more than our weight — it affects our emotions, energy, sleep, performance, etc.,” she says. “I think people have a perception that healthy food doesn’t taste good or has no flavor.” And she’s confident the food partners for the festival — Happy + Hale, Farm Fresh Fast, Seedlings, Cocobowlz, Blush Nutrition, and others — will change that perception. “We’re not here to preach about what you should or shouldn’t eat,” she says. “If we can change one person’s mind about eating what makes them feel good — not just how they look — and focusing on the things you put into your body, I consider that a success.” The two-day, family-friendly event Luginbill launched because she was passionate about improving the lives of those around her, especially the next generation’s, will include dozens of community partners that represent the festival’s four pillars: fitNESS, goodNESS, wellNESS, and wholeNESS. Classes by Greenville gyms, studios, and
trainers will be held on four fitness stages. Various local health providers will host workshops and seminars, and meditation and mindfulness seminars will be offered.
“We are choosing vendors that are just as passionate about bettering our attendees’ lifestyles as we are.” –Brenda Luginbill
In addition to having a full menu of options available for sale, the food providers will also present cooking demos and meal-prep seminars. “We are choosing vendors that are just as passionate about bettering our attendees’ lifestyles as we are,” Luginbill says. “We all know that everyone is different and we do not live in a cookie-cutter world — what works for one person might not be the best for someone else’s health. We want people to start understanding their bodies and what” they need. Here’s a sampling of what to expect from the food vendors and why they’re aligning themselves with The NESS Fest.
WORDS BY ARIEL TURNER PHOTO BY WILL CROOKS HAPPY + HALE The Raleigh, N.C.-based fast-casual restaurant Happy + Hale will have a booth where they will sell a variety of small bowls so people can experience a taste of what the restaurant regularly offers. That means salads and grain-based bowls, using fresh ingredients in a variety of colors, flavors, and textures, and dressings made from scratch daily. “We produce healthy fuel that nourishes the body, fulfills the soul, empowers the community, and balances the planet,” says H+H co-founder Tyler Helikson. “We are excited to be a part of an event promoting the same values of health and wellness that we are passionate about.” FARM FRESH FAST AND SEEDLINGS Both of owner Jonathan Willis’ restaurants’ menus are driven by what is available locally, so an actual menu is difficult to project this far in advance. What he does know is that his team will be doing a cooking demo on Saturday and another on Sunday, but they’re still deciding which topics to tackle. The topics will most likely revolve around their passion for using the freshest ingredients for optimum taste and health value. “We started our business as a way to make health and wellness — through food — more
accessible to people,” Willis says. “Seeing a community-driven event like The NESS Fest come together to bring even more wellness resources to the same place at the same time is incredible. We are proud to be part of a community that puts an emphasis on health, wellness, and living your best life.” BLUSH NUTRITION Brittany Jones of Blush Nutrition willtake to the goodNESS stage for two seminars: “Meal Planning Made Easy” and “Leftovers Made Awesome.” As a registered dietitian, Jones teaches her clients that all foods can fit. “I encourage focusing on functional foods 80 percent of the time, and fun foods 20 percent of the time,” she says. “There is a place for everything, and I think The NESS Fest will show participants to focus on how they feel after eating a food rather than if it is considered ‘good’ or ‘bad.’” The NESS Fest event schedule is available through the Sched app, where guests can also plan their day and sign up for classes and seminars in advance. One-day tickets are $55 for adults and $10 for children ages 8-16. Children younger than 8 get in free. Two-day VIP tickets are also available for $100. Tickets are on sale now through Eventbrite.

Husk Greenville just rolled out its bar menu and it’s everything salty, savory, and briny you’d hope it’d be. And yes, I tried all the things. If you follow me on Instagram, expect to see a lot more salads featured within the next week. But, the bar menu — go try it every day starting at 4 p.m. Options include beef jerky with a mostly Orange Nehi and a splash of Westbrook Gose glaze; pulled-pork rillettes that are smokey and barbecue-like; crispy catfish potato cake; the snack plate (a must-order) with corn nuts, roasted peanuts, and pork rinds; coal-roasted chicken wings that are so umami it’s ridiculous; and hot fried chicken served with the cutest mini biscuits you’ve ever seen. But wait! There’s more, and this is possibly the most important piece of information I could report: The famous Husk cheeseburger and fried potato wedges are now available at the bar every night after 9 p.m. I’d recommend, in all seriousness, you make that your dessert stop.

Trust me, some of the best food in Greenville is tucked away off of Rutherford Road in a strip center at 1316 Stallings Road. If you don’t believe me, trust the judges of Food Network’s “Food Court Wars” who crowned Tirado’s Empanadas and More the champions in 2013 when the authentic Puerto Rican restaurant used to be located in West Gate Mall in Spartanburg. Lucky for us Greenvillians, the familyrun business moved closer, and after several different daily schedule changes, they’ve now added breakfast on Saturdays, from 7:30 a.m. until 11 a.m. The menu includes fresh-baked pastries and papas rellenas filled with eggs and sausage, and you won’t find friendlier service anywhere.

Get out(side) The Anchorage in the Village of West Greenville has added about 22 seats of outdoor dining on the patio. Granted, it’s been a tad sweltering for outdoor dining to sound pleasurable, but, hear me out: The tables are in the shade, under the twinkle lights, and with the breeze that’s been picking up lately, it’s definitely worth a shot.

Smiley’s Acoustic Café | 111 Augusta St. | 6:30 p.m. | Free
CONCERT
The first album by North Carolina singersongwriter Austin Coleman, 2016’s “Tusquittee Rain,” certainly makes it sound like Coleman is comfortable with the country-tinged acoustic rock music he’s creating, and the album’s 13 tracks flow by easily like a Southern river, with equal measures of shimmer and grit. But as Coleman prepares his second release, “Long Mile From Home,” he says he’s much happier with both the sound and the organic approach he’s achieved this time out. “On the first record, I’d come out of playing with a heavier, more alternative-rock-style band,” he says. “So, a lot of those songs when they were written didn’t have as much focus on that acoustic direction, even though we recorded them that way. With the second album, the writing was focused a lot more on a raw feeling, and we took that into the studio.” Working at The Vault Recording Lounge in Marietta, Ga., Coleman and producerengineer Kevin Sellors took a decidedly old-school approach to recording. “Kevin wanted to use as little digital technology as possible,” Coleman says. “We used old compressors, vintage instruments, and we ran about half of it through a vintage tape machine. We did a lot of things to make it have that nostalgic feel.” —Vincent Harris FRI

As odd as it seems now, the CDB broke onto the national airwaves as an “outlaw country” band and went on to sell millions of albums and produce classic country-rock crossover standards such as “Long Haired Country Boy,” “The South’s Gonna Do It Again,” and “The Devil Went Down To Georgia.” Daniels himself has launched careers as a gospel artist and conservative activist. An instrumental wizard equally skilled on guitar and fiddle, in the 1970s Daniels mixed a hippie’s sense of fun, a bluegrass player’s skill, and some serious rock ’n’ roll muscle into his music, aligning him more with rule-breakers like Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Hank Williams Jr. So, when Daniels was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2016, it was not just a testament to the timelessness of his best music; it was a statement about how much time can change things. —Vincent Harris

Brother Oliver
The Velo Fellow | 1 Augusta St., No. 126 | 9 p.m. | Free
CONCERT
“Brother Oliver,” the 2017 self-titled debut album by siblings Andrew and Stephen Oliver, was a collection of melodic folk-rock that occasionally ventured into more adventurous territory, mixing in more experimental, psychedelic influences in the production. But their new single, “Castles,” is a more confident, comfortable blend of folk and psychedelia from the start. Andrew Oliver’s acoustic guitar is immediately joined by a spidery, spectral electric guitar. The spacious rhythm seems to stretch out underneath the duo’s vocal harmonies, and the end of the five-minute-plus song works in an extended jam featuring woozy, seasick keyboards, mandolin, and trumpet. “I definitely was really excited with how it turned out,” Andrew Oliver says. “I wanted to put out a single with a little cleaner production. The album we put out last August was kind of designed to sound live, so we wanted it to be raw. We were really pleased how it tuned out, but with ‘Castles’ I wanted to show people we could put out a more polished product. We wanted to get it perfect.” —Vincent Harris local farmers and artisans will display and sell an assortment of products.

Fathom Events Regal Hollywood 20 | 1025 Woodruff Road 7-10 p.m. | $15-$17 In cinemas for a special summer encore presentation, Fathom Events, BY Experience, and Pathé Live present Tchaikovsky’s transcendent classic “Swan Lake,” captured live from Moscow. At moonlight on the banks of a mysterious lake, Prince Siegfried meets the bewitched swan-woman Odette. Completely spellbound by her beauty, he swears his faithfulness to her. However, the Prince realizes too late that Fate has another plan for him. A ballet of ultimate beauty and a score of unparalleled perfection born at the Bolshoi in 1877. In the dual role of white swan Odette and her rival black swan Odile, prima ballerina Svetlana Zakharova exudes both vulnerability and cunning through superb technical mastery, alongside the powerful and emotional Siegfried, Denis Rodkin. Including breathtaking scenes with the Bolshoi’s corps de ballet, this is classical ballet at its finest. www.fathomevents.com/events/bolshoi18swan-lake-encore
