BY THE NUMBERS

BY THE NUMBERS: GREENVILLE COUNTY SCHOOLS WAITLIST n story by ARIEL GILREATH

While most students in Greenville County attend the schools they’re zoned for, the district still has the largest amount of students in the state who choose to attend schools out of their residence zones. With 16% of the district’s roughly 76,000 students at outof-zone schools, the number of open seats at some schools in the district fill up fast. Many of the district’s magnet schools — which were created to draw more students in — have the highest wait lists, but traditional schools in the district still dominate the overall amount of schools with biggest wait lists. The district also compiles a list of schools with the highest number of open seats to accept students, which is a factor when district officials determine where to start new school choice programs. In the past, the district took students at out-of-zone schools on a first-come first-serve basis, but now parents must submit applications early on in the year before the stu-

dents are chosen by a lottery system. District administrators and school board members with Greenville County Schools plan on evaluating which schools will get new choice programs based on need and capacity. The biggest obstacle with expanding the choice program — particularly for magnet schools — is the size of the district coupled with a statewide bus driver shortage. Students who attend schools based on choice must have their own transportation, but magnet school students are guaranteed school bus rides. “The strategic part of what the board needs to do is we have to get to the next generation of what choice looks like

and how we enhance that,” said board member Lisa Wells at a board meeting. “Choice may not mean that we have more than 16% of our students criss-crossing across the county, it might mean that we have less because we’re going to allow more opportunities within our schools.” Students who attend choice or magnet programs in elementary school also have fewer options when moving on to middle and then high schools. “If you put something in at an elementary school somewhere, where are they going to go to middle school to follow up that program? And if there’s a high school followup, where will that be?” Superintendent Burke Royster told board members at a meeting in August. “So it’s a feeder pattern not in the sense of an attendance area feeder pattern, but a programmatic feeder pattern.” Since students transfer and move a lot at the start of the school year, Greenville County Schools won’t have current numbers until later in the year.

ADDICTION

HOPE:

one mother’s story of success amidst struggles n story by MELODY CUENCA | photos by WILL CROOKS

“I just look at her and she’s like my little miracle baby,” Ashley Burley says of her 2-year-old daughter, Ava. Burley’s story is one of addiction, pain, and loss — but also of triumph, love, and hope. “I’m an addict and an alcoholic. I’ve messed around with drugs and alcohol starting at age 12,” she says. “Then it just progressed, and it got worse and worse.” With the help of local organizations, she’s now working and building relationships with her family and, most importantly, with her other children. Burley’s also preparing to move into her new home. But it took the heartache of losing custody of her first two children and the determination not to lose Ava for Burley to accomplish these milestones.

THE INTERVENTION

“I met Ava’s dad in 2015 and got mixed up with meth a lot,” she recalls. After finding out she was expecting, Burley told Ava’s father she wanted to change. “I told him, ‘I want to get clean. I don’t want to lose her,’” she says. But staying clean for more than a few weeks was nearly impossible in her environment. Pregnant and fighting addiction, Burley and her boyfriend were caught breaking into a house. She spent five months at the detention center in Oconee County. “I really feel like when we got arrested that that was an intervention,” she says. “That was God saying, ‘I hear you, I know you want to get clean. … I’m going to pick you up and take you out of it and put you in a controlled environment where you can get clean.’”

THE RECOVERY

Hearing about Serenity Place in Greenville, Burley decided to participate in its inpatient program for mothers struggling with substance abuse. “You make that decision to get clean before you go,” she says. “Once you get there, they give you the tools to rebuild your life.” The biggest tool for success Burley received was simply a fresh start. Calling the experience humbling, she says it’s also heartwarming to receive help from people who truly care. “It feels good to know in such a mean, hateful world that there are people out there that want to help,” she says. Serenity Place is one of The Family Effect’s many programs that seek to rebuild healthy families.

“The women in our program can be pregnant and/or have their preschool-age children with them to receive treatment simultaneously,” says Aileen Gallagher, community engagement coordinator. “This is a very unique program — of all treatment centers in the United States, only 3% allow for mothers to bring their children with them.”

THE FAMILY EFFECT is the philanthropic foundation of The Phoenix Center, which is governed by The Greenville County Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse.

SERENITY PLACE and THE LOTUS PROGRAM are some of The Family Effect’s many programs which seek to rebuild healthy families.

Ashley utilized United Ministries programs including Financial Counseling and Case Management to increase income, improve her credit, build savings, and continue to build her skills as a strong single parent. Using what she has learned, Ashley has gone from homeless to homeowner.”

THE RESULTS

Burley chose to stay in interim housing and continue case management and treatment services through Serenity Place’s Lotus program. “After inpatient care, Ashley worked hard in the Lotus program to find a job, find stable housing, find day care for Ava, and joined a recovery community,” Gallagher said. “Ashley is an excellent example of success of treatment for substance use.” After some time, Burley’s counselor connected her with United Ministries’ Interfaith Hospitality Network to find shortterm housing. United Ministries encouraged Burley to apply for a Habitat for Humanity home. To her surprise, she received approval to become a Habitat homeowner and will soon move into her new home.

HABITAT FOR HUMANITY Greenville builds in all areas of Greenville County. Approximately 10-12 families are served annually in its homebuilding and home rehabilitation program. According to a 2016 homeownership impact survey that explored the connection between affordable homeownership provided by Habitat and the positive changes experienced:

Ashley is a perfect example of collaboration and working together with others. At Habitat we have found that families are more successful when they have a support system and network around them. Ashley worked with Serenity Place, United Ministries, and Habitat on her journey to homeownership and we couldn’t be more excited for her fresh start.” -Monroe Free

4 schools in Greenville County made America’s Most Challenging High Schools list n story by ARIEL GILREATH | photo by GREG BECKNER

Four high schools in Greenville County made the Washington Post’s annual Jay Mathews Challenge Index — a list ranking the most challenging high schools in the United States. The rankings are determined by the number of advanced tests given at a high school divided by the number of seniors who graduated that year. The list, which first appeared in the Washington Post and Newsweek in 1998, is compiled by the Washington Post’s education columnist Jay Mathews. Of the 2,537 high schools that made the list this year, J.L. Mann Academy ranked 743, Greenville High Academy ranked 864, the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities ranked 959, and Riverside High School ranked 1,401. Seven other South Carolina high schools

also made the list, with Academic Magnet High School in North Charleston ranking within the top 0.5% in the nation at 52. The list doesn’t factor in scores, but rather relies on participation on Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and Cambridge tests. It also reports the percentage of students that passed at least one of the advanced tests.

GREENVILLE’S ROB GALLOWAY BATTLED THROUGH INJURY TO PLAY IN THE U.S. OPEN Galloway and doubles partner, Nate Lemmons, lost in the ﬁrst round to 15th-seeded team. n story by KEVIN MELTON | photos PROVIDED

A second straight trip to the U.S. Open didn’t end the way Rob Galloway wanted. But it was a strong step forward after suffering a setback. The lifelong Greenville resident and former Wofford standout was ousted alongside doubles partner Nate Lammons 6-3, 6-2 to 15th-seeded Neal Skupski and Jamie Murray in the opening round of the 139th edition of the event held at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York, New York last week. For Galloway, it was a comeback of sorts after dealing with an injured ankle that sidelined him for the past few months. He said that the road to recovery is on schedule. “My partner and I had a good start to the year, and obviously the injury derailed my plans,” Galloway said. “I played a tournament two weeks before the U.S. Open and was pain free there. That’s my goal is to continue to play pain free.” Galloway, 26, earned 6-2, 6-2 victory with Lammons against Kevin King and Reilly Opelka in the first round of the 2018 U.S. Open. He was the first player from the Southern Conference to play in the tournament in more than 30 years, as well as the first men’s player from South Carolina in over 25 years. Galloway’s longtime personal coach, Robb Thompson of the Greenville Country Club, said that he’s seen a steady progression in his player over a long period of time. “He grew up at my club at the GCC since he was 6-years old,” Thompson said. “It’s been an

uphill climb, but every year he’s gotten better. He’s been a big deal for South Carolina because it’s been such a long time since we put someone on the tour. He’s not at his peak yet, but he’s going to make it. I think he’ll be the top 15 in the world before it’s over.” Galloway, who was ranked as high as No. 83 in the world earlier this year, followed up the U.S. Open by playing a tournament in New Haven, Conn. The former multiple All-SOCON selection said his current goal is to continue to build strength off of the injury and in the standings. “I’m going to keep playing in challengers and keep getting back to where I was before,” he said. “I plan to stay in the (United) States and get my level back and try to get my ranking back up.” Galloway said that his initial goal was to give the professional route two years to determine if it was a path in which to continue. Now in his fourth year, his goal is to keep making a name for himself and the state. “It means a lot,” he said. “I put a lot into South Carolina tennis as a junior. Obviously South Carolina tennis has done a lot for me, especially in Greenville. It’s nice to pay it back and try to do well for my state.”

OPINION

Including Hispanic youth

An integrated multicultural curriculum is essential in the Upstate

n story by EBONI JOHNSON

Over the last 10 years, the population of Hispanics has grown 52% and now makes up 9% of our small city. Hispanics make up 5.5% of South Carolinians. It is no question that Hispanic children’s well-being and status very well may affect Greenville’s, given that they are becoming such an integral part of our community. Systemic barriers are blocking many Hispanics’ path to success, which

has often made their journey a difficult one. Therefore, an integrated, multicultural curriculum in all schools is step one to knocking these obstacles down. For the 2018-19 school year, 15.7% of elementary students across Greenville County Schools were Hispanic. It is our duty as citizens and as a people who genuinely care to help all children succeed.

IS A CORPORATE WELLNESS PROGRAM NECESSARY? n story by KEVIN DEHLINGER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, SPORTSCLUB FITNESS & WELLNESS

Did you know the average employee will spend over 1800 hours a year at work? This is a huge amount of time in which employers can have a real impact on their employees by educating them on the benefits of a healthier lifestyle. Research from organizations such as the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control, and Harvard Business Review continues to show that promoting healthy habits to employees through comprehensive programs and organizational culture support effectively, benefits both employer and employee.

Most corporate health and wellness programs are started because employers want to help employees stay healthy, reduce health care costs, and mitigate absenteeism. Well-designed employee wellness programs will accomplish these goals. An enormous amount of published scientific evidence supports the impact of well-run wellness programs. • The World Health Organization reported that in the United States an investment of $1 in physical activity leads to $3.20 in medical costs savings. • Employees who actively took part in a corporate wellness program regained an average of 10.3 hours in additional productivity annually. • Evidence indicates that instituting workplace health programs can reduce the average sick leave, health plan, workers’ compensation claims, and disability insurance costs by approximately 25%. • According to the Centers for Disease Control, productivity losses related to employee health problems cost U.S. employers $1,685 per employee per year, or $225.8 billion annually. • The Lancet found that physical inactivity by employees is deadlier and costlier than smoking. There is no question that a properly implemented corporate wellness program does positively affect the health of a workforce. However, undoing years of poor health habits will not be an easy task. Unless motivated, most employees will have a hard time beginning and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Get Help from Local Experts. Once the decision has been made to develop or revitalize a corporate wellness program, seek out help from your community partners. Experts are available in the Upstate to help you get the process started including health clubs such as Sportsclub Health & Wellness, hospital systems such as Bon Secours, and non-profit organizations such as Live Well Greenville and the South Carolina Business Coalition on Health.

Pendleton Street, Looking north towards Main Street. Easley, SC

(source: Pickens County Historical Society)

Rockville, the first name of the modern day Easley, was founded in 1791 after the state legislature established the Washington District and split that district into Greenville and Pendleton Counties. Rockville was in existence for about a year and then it became known as Pickensville, the second name of the modern day Easley. Pickensville played a major role in the eventual development of the Upstate, it held the district seat for the Washington district until 1798, and then became the district seat for the Pendleton district (composed of what is now Pickens, Anderson and Oconee Counties). As time went on the legislature split the area into counties, thus dividing the area into Anderson and Pickens counties. As new courthouses went up in different parts of the Upstate region, Pickensville began to lose its importance. The final demise of Pickensville would be the construction of the railroad through the small community of Easley - less than 2 miles away.

EASLEY'S BEGINNINGS

Easley's namesake, General William King Easley, was an attorney for the Atlanta and Charlotte Railroad Company and in the late 1800's, General Easley persuaded the railroad to lay tracks through the town. As soon as the tracks were completed, surveyors laid out streets and in 1873 the town of Easley was chartered. In 1875, the U.S. Post Office renamed the Pickensville location to Easley Post Office - thus delivering the final blow to the town of Pickensville. As with many of our Upstate communities it was the railroad that sparked growth and development and brought industry and workers to the area.

The Doodle Trail, a partnership between two cities

MELISSA MORRELL

Opened on Memorial Day weekend in 2015, the Doodle Trail is a 7.5 mile rails-to-trails partnership between the cities of Pickens and Easley. Doodle Trail is a multi-use trail, open from dawn to dusk for biking, walking, running and roller blading. The Doodle Trail got its name from what was locally known as the Doodle Train. The Doodle Train was used for transport of goods between Pickens and Easley since its inception in 1898. For over 100 hundred years the train carried a variety of goods including food products, textiles and more to and from Pickens and Easley. Local residents nicknamed the railroad the "Doodle" line because the freight engine had no ability to be turned around - so, it had to run backwards from Easley to Pickens, looking like a doddlebug. The train ran its final route in 2013 and two years later the Doodle Trail opened, preserving the history of the vital connection that had been forged between the two communities over 120 years ago.

ARTS & CULTURE ‘LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS’ BRINGS EXOTIC, BLOOD-THIRSTY PLANT TO CENTRE STAGE n story by MELODY CUENCA | Photo by WILL CROOKS

It’s two hours of absurdity, but absurdity that makes sense and is relatable and fun - fun absurdity.” -actor Mary Evan Giles.

NEED TO KNOW WHEN: Sept. 19-Oct. 6

B e wa r e !

The cult classic “Little Shop of Horrors” brings the murderous plant Audrey II to life in Greenville — and it demands blood. The comedy rock musical opens Centre Stage’s 2019-20 season with doo-wop and rock hits like “Git It,” “Somewhere That’s Green,” and “Suddenly Seymour.” The story follows the quirky florist’s assistant named Seymour who crushes on co-worker Audrey. “He stumbles across an exotic and strange plant that he names Audrey II in hopes of winning the affection of Audrey,” actor Javy Pagan says. Playing the role of Audrey II, Pagan says his villainous character accomplishes its mission despite who stands in the way. “Audrey II is a talking, moving, very-much-alive plant that is trying to take over the world,” he says. “Seymour just happens to be the tool that Audrey II is using to execute their world domination.” Written by Alan Menken, the music of “Little Shop of Horrors” shows an almost endearing side of Audrey II. “People know that Audrey II is not the nicest, but they can’t help but fall in love with Audrey II because of Alan Menken’s music,” Pagan says. Audiences will see Audrey II like never before. “We are taking it in a very fun, very differ-

ent, very new direction, and we’re excited for our audience to see that,” he says.

WHERE: Centre Stage, 501 River St. Greenville

TICKETS: $25-$35 Mary Evan Giles, who plays the role of Audrey, says adding uniqueness to a popuINFO: www.centrestage.org lar show like “Little Shop of Horrors” can prove difficult. “I think the way that Centre Stage is taking it on is going to do just that — give the audience a ‘Little Shop’ that they’ve never seen before,” she says. Describing her character as the girl next door, Giles says Audrey is “trashy but misunderstood.” “She’s been dealt the short end of the stick most of her life so she doesn’t think that she’s worth everything that other people see in her,” she says. For Giles, playing Audrey allows her to sing music she grew up listening to. “So I’m really trying to do her justice in a way that makes women proud to be who they are — even if they are misunderstood,” she says. Giles and Pagan describe the show as fun, bizarre, and relevant. “It’s two hours of absurdity, but absurdity that makes sense and is relatable and fun — fun absurdity,” Giles says.

OCTOBER 14 THE STEELDRIVERS

At a certain point in the past decade, the Grammy-winning Nashville, Tennessee, bluegrass band The SteelDrivers probably got used to a little bit of behind-the-scenes chaos. Onstage, and on their four studio albums, the band ran like a well-oiled machine, but that was likely no easy task with the several lineup changes they faced. Country music sensation Chris Stapleton was part of the band for its first album in 2008, but by 2010 he’d departed. Then in 2011, co-founding guitarist Michael Henderson left the group. In 2017, Stapleton’s replacement, singer/ guitarist Gary Nichols, abruptly departed, and Adam Wakefield, a former contestant on NBC’s “The Voice,” filled in until a permanent replacement could be found. That permanent replacement’s name is Kelvin Damrell, a singer/guitarist who joined The SteelDrivers in 2018. Everybody have their scorecards updated at this point? Good. Luckily, fiddle player Tammy Rogers says that, after that somewhat bumpy ride, the band is firing on all cylinders again. “I feel like we’re in a great spot,” she says. “Kelvin has really settled in and is doing a fantastic job.” In fact, the band (Rogers, bassist Mike Fleming, banjo player Richard Bailey, and mandolin player Brent Truitt) was so encouraged by Damrell that they put off recording their fifth full-length album until he was fully integrated into the group to give him a chance to contribute.

“But now, the record is DONE, he sounds incredible, and all our tour dates this year have been really well-attended,” Rogers says. “There have been a lot of sellouts, so it feels like we’re on a real upswing.”

FRIDAY, SEPT. 6 | 8:00PM TD STAGE @ PEACE CENTER $35-$45 PEACECENTER.ORG Rogers readily admits to a sense of relief that The SteelDrivers’ fan base has stayed with them through the different lineups. “We’ve gone through a couple of these changes, and our fan base is loyal enough that they trust us,” she says. “They trust that we’re going to show up, the songs are going to be consistent, and they’re going to be happy.” Now, with an album scheduled for release early next year, The SteelDrivers are working new material into their shows. We’ve pushed ourselves as a band and tried to evolve and take our fans on that journey with us,” Rogers says. “So far people seem to really be liking it, but there’s a lot of work left to do behind the scenes between now and when it comes out.” The band will return to the Upstate this Friday night to play a show at the Peace Center’s outdoor TD Stage, and Rogers says this area has long been one of The SteelDrivers’ favorite places to play. “We committed ourselves a number of years ago to traveling to North and South Carolina a good bit to build our audience,” she says. “And exposing people to our music has really paid dividends. I think it’s the fact that there are a lot of bluegrass and Americana music fans in this part of the world, and our songs strike a chord with them.”

In April of 1997, singer/guitarist/songwriters Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, better known as the Indigo Girls, released their sixth album, Shaming Of The Sun. The album continued the duo’s evolution from acoustic-folk-based songs like their signature hit, “Closer To Fine,” into a more expansive sound that included straight-ahead rock, heart-stopping orchestral ballads, catchy acoustic pop and more. The first song on the album was called “Shame On You,” a terse-but-catchy rocker written by Ray that featured the following verse: Let’s go road block trippin’ in the Middle of the night up in Gainesville town There’ll be blue lights flashing down the long dirt road When they ask me to step out They say we’re looking for illegal immigrants can we check your car I say you know it’s funny I think we were on the same boat back in 1694. It’s a verse that, sadly, is more relevant today than it’s ever been, and the Indigo Girls have been revisiting that 22-year-old tune a lot recently. “What’s depressing is that we haven’t solved that,” Ray says. “What’s depressing is that our government hasn’t been able to

figure out a path to citizenship, or a way to humanely deal with having a border. It’s very complex, but with all the other stuff we’ve been able to work out, with all of the amazing scientific achievements in our world, that doesn’t seem like something that should be impossible to solve. It feels to me like it’s always tied up in polarization and political views and egos and no one willing to compromise. It’s very discouraging to me that it’s even more relevant now than it was in ‘97.” Saliers and Ray often choose songs that jibe with current socio-political issues for their shows, but that’s not the only way for a song to find its way into the Girls’ set. YOU try to figure out what to play after a 34-year, 14 album career. In that time, the duo honed their exhilarating vocal harmony blend, won a Grammy award, went gold or platinum seven times and garnered one of the most loyal fan-bases in music, so there are a lot of potential favorites for them to choose from. “We actually don’t write the set list until we’re having dinner before the show,” Ray says. “We go by what we feel like playing, but we also check Facebook or Twitter to see if

there have been any special requests. Then we sit down after we’ve sound-checked and we practice anything we need to practice.” The request angle is interesting, because it occasionally allows Ray and Saliers to rediscover songs that they hadn’t thought about in a while. The best example of this is “Love Will Come To You,” a yearning ballad by Saliers from the 1992 album Rites Of Passage. “A while back we got a couple of requests for the song, and we learned it again and played it,” Ray says. “And a lot of people REALLY liked it, and we were kind of surprised by that. So we’re definitely influenced by how our audience feels.” So if there’s a song that you’d like to hear

Plus we have a new record we’ve finished that’s going to come out in early 2020 so we’re playing some of those songs, too. So it’s a constantly changing thing.”

talking about what it means to be women, wives, mothers, our experiences of trauma,” Blankenship says. Also, “Sisters, too.” explores the idea of art’s importance to their purposes. The name of the event refers to the Me Too movement of predominantly women who shared their histories of trauma and sexual harassment. “Jenny’s events in her past absolutely have to do with that, and then I have my own history of trauma, which is typically medical,” Blankenship says. “We both have experiences of trauma, but they’re wildly different.” The mutual support and empathy of shared experience from the Me Too movement proved to be the biggest inspiration for “Sisters, too.” “I feel like it’s an important moment in time to come together and say, ‘I dealt with

$7-$10 SISTERSTOOSHOW.COM this, you dealt with that. I still love you, and I want to be with you in this moment,’” Blankenship says. The goal of the show is to create conversation around empathy and support, especially among women. “I do want to celebrate women, the different aspects and the different forms that we take through this family life, and to just celebrate the essence of who we are and what we’re capable of,” Ayers says. Enriched with music and visual and spoken art, “Sisters, too.” ultimately seeks to offer hope and encouragement.

“Sisters, too.” speaks to womanhood, motherhood, trauma, and purpose through a collaborative show of music, art, and poetry. Born from the works of two sisters, Mandy Blankenship and Jenny Ayers, the unique show was inspired by their individual experiences and the “Me Too” movement. “Jenny and I have been making things for a very long time in different forms,” Blankenship says. “Mostly for me, it’s been visual and writing. Since Jenny was a very little girl, she has been singing.” Not collaborating artistically since their childhood, Blankenship and Ayers decided now was the time to share their stories together. They will speak their truths in the language they know best — art. “It’ll be a weaving together of our different stories through Jenny’s music, my poetry, and some quilted pieces I’m making,

where we're EATING IRA’S CHICKEN When you go to Nashville, you eat hot chicken. When a Nashville songwriter plays a show here, you should also eat hot chicken, if there’s a reputable option. Enter Ira’s Chicken. With all the hype around chicken sandwiches these days, it’s a perfect time to revisit this fairly new locally owned restaurant that specializes in the sinus-clearing sandwich from the Music City but also has the regular fried goodness for the sensitive palates. The fast-casual spot at 107 S. Main St., Greer, with a small menu is the ideal pre-show stop this week because of proximity to The Spinning Jenny and also because the show is seated from 7-8 p.m., which doesn’t leave much dining time. Even if there’s a line at the counter, Ira’s will get delicious, Southern fare out to you as fast as you need it for cheap.

RECOMMENDED DISHES: Small Plate or Large Plate to share .............$8.50 or $11

White or dark meat (Southern, Mild, Hot or Grilled) with white bread, homemade pickles, two sides

what we're SEEING DARRELL SCOTT AT THE SPINNING JENNY

Darrell Scott’s is a performer, instrumentalist and songwriter of the highest order, a man who excels at just about anything musical. Even if you don’t immediately recognize his name, you probably know some of his songs. Scott’s tunes have appeared on dozens of albums by artists like the Zac Brown Band, Randy Travis, Sam Bush, Garth Brooks, and a host of other country, Americana and roots-music acts. Scott is a storyteller supreme who’s been working his magic in the Upstate for years, whether was at the Albino Skunk Music Festival or The Handlebar or, now, at The Spinning Jenny. This is a chance to spend an evening with one of the great Americana artists of our age and hear some of the best written songs of our time, and both the artist and the material will be treated with the respect they deserve at this gem of a venue in Greer.

“Tomatillo Mosaic.” The first two words in the description of the Radish & Roe small plate on Oak Hill Cafe’s new dinner menu begged an explanation that would arrive in a small hand-thrown gray bowl, layers of flavors, textures, and shapes stacked one on top of the other. The foundation was a pumpkin seed creme followed by quarter-inch spheres of pear, bits of skin-on plums, thinly sliced radishes topped with pale green tomatillos arranged in a rosette, and finally, a quenelleshaped center of paddlefish roe. This combination of ingredients is likely unfamiliar territory for even a seasoned Greenville diner, yet the flavors strike a familiar chord — the pumpkin seeds, though in a hummus-like form, are reminiscent of fall nights snacking on the roasted remnants of the carved jack-o’-lantern, the radishes freshly picked from the home garden just before they turn bitter. Very little about Oak Hill dinners, set to launch Sept. 6, will be expected, with the raw ingredients pushed and stretched to take on new forms through dehydration, emulsion, and many other experimental techniques, yet the flavors of each component in its most natural form will shine through. Oak Hill Café, which opened late June at 2510 Poinsett Highway, is a partnership between Costa Rican chef David Porras and Lori Nelsen, a retired lab manager at Furman University in the earth and environmental sciences/sustainability sciences department. Their garden partners — Chris Miller (That Garden Guy) and Aaron von Frank (Tyrant Farms) — designed a garden and greenhouse on the back acre of the property that provides much of the produce used in the restaurant. Together, in a kitchen teeming with former Culinary Institute of America students hungry to learn from Porras, they are creating a unique addition to Greenville’s dining repertoire. The name “cafe” is fitting for the daytime options such as hearty sandwiches and soups,

bowls of grains and greens, huevos rancheros, and coffee service. But come dinner service, the menu split into small plates, shared plates, and entrees will read more elevated with an element of surprise in each dish. Take the Pimento Cheese Spheres. The description says “Pimento Infused Olive Oil, Crostini.” Simple enough. What arrives at the table is a short mason jar filled with spheres of pillowy cheese, submerged in oil, that have taken on an uncharacteristically light texture. Upon tasting, it mimics cotton candy, melting before you can even swallow. A rotating list of desserts hits all the usual categories — chocolate, fruit, ice cream — with the Oak Hill signature intrigue, like Orange & Miso Ice Cream with black sesame and roasted sesame oil. Some dishes are as simple as a few components with a hint of salt, like the burrata with basil flower, basil oil, and pickled peaches. But the preparation techniques used and combination of flavors create an intellectual, sensory experience opposite the habit of mindless eating. Starting out, dinner will be offered two nights a week — Friday and Saturday — while the kitchen and service staff acclimate to the new format. Eventually, it will move to Wednesday-Saturday dinner service. Like the food menu, the beverage menu has a few of its own surprises, such as a gin, green chartreuse, and green bell pepper cocktail named Ring My Bell or the Espresso Martini with bourbon, Cynar, and honey. With three or four ingredients apiece, the cocktails also represent well-balanced simplicity. The end goal of Oak Hill’s dinner service is the 14-course tasting menu that will be offered once a month by reservation only. Simultaneously, the bar will offer its own tasting menu of three cocktails paired with dishes. Oak Hill is open six days a week (closed Sundays). Visit oakhillcafe. com for current hours and to make a reservation.

Schwaben House sits on a slight rise off Laurens Road, outside of the foodie bustle of Main Street. They serve German food, elevated and refined beyond the typical beer garden brats. I realized during my first weeks in Greenville that the city had a large international population. The booming engineering and automotive industries recruit staff from all over the world and those people bring their food cultures with them. This creates a vibrant, international culinary scene that expends way beyond traditional Southern fair.

JUDAH & THE LION BRING “FOLK, HOP & ROLL” TO BON SECOURS

VIDEO AVAILABLE ONLINE

WWW.GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM

New album “Pep Talks” tells band member’s personal struggle with anxiety and depression. n story by VINCENT HARRIS | PHOTO PROVIDED

Tennessee’s Judah & The Lion band released an album in 2016 called Folk Hop N’Roll, and that phrase defines their sound better than any typical genre-label could. Their glowing vocal harmonies, intimate, confessional lyrics and acoustic instrumentation (mandolin, banjo and acoustic guitar) come straight from the folk-music tradition. But the group isn’t shy about working danceable, electronic beats into their music, and they have a real knack for wide-open, anthemic rock choruses. It’s an effective mix of styles that has worked like a charm for Nate Zuercher, Brian MacDonald and Judah Akers, who form the nucleus of Judah & The Lion. They’ve been on an upward curve career-wise for the past few years, landing singles like “Rich Kids,” “Take It All Back” and “Over My Head” on the alternative rock charts and gaining a devoted fan base. But there might be no better sign of their increasing momentum than the fact that last year when they came to the Upstate, they played at the Peace Center, and this year, they’re playing at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena. “Shows like these come with a bigger weight,” says Judah Akers, the band’s lead singer, main songwriter and guitarist. “Not that there’s more hard work or dedication on this tour than the others, but there’s a lot more crew and production and lights that you’re going to have to get prepared before you can set out on a tour like this. It makes you want to rise to the expectations of those rooms and the crowds that are showing up. Hopefully, our sound and our skills and my voice have gotten better because we’ve grown as musicians.” Judah & The Lion are reaching their biggest audience just as they’ve released their most achingly personal music. Their new album, Pep Talks, isn’t a concept album per se, but there are unifying themes, namely Akers dealing with the aftermath of his parents’ divorce, and the toll that split took on his entire family. “The record was a personal story that I was going through,” Akers says. “I was struggling with anxiety and depression for the first time in my life, dealing with my parents’ divorce, and my mother was struggling with alcoholism.” The band had never shied away from telling their own stories in the past, though. “We’ve always sung about personal stuff,” Akers says. “The first record was about us

JUDAH & THE LION SUNDAY, SEPT. 8 | 8:00PM BON SECOURS WELLNESS ARENA $31-$51 BONSECOURSARENA.COM dropping out of school and pursuing music and our families telling us it was crazy. For this one, we wanted to be honest about what I was going through and what my family was going through.” So what’s it like telling your parents that you’re about to make an album about their divorce? “It was definitely a hard conversation,” Akers laughs, “but my parents were great about it. I was able to have a pretty frank conversation with my parents. My family has always been really supportive, and I’m still really close with them. And when I was telling my mom that I wanted to sing about what it had been like to deal with this, and telling my dad that I felt like he kind of ran away from his family, they knew that I never wanted to personally attack either of them, because they’re amazing parents.” Akers says that ultimately, the message of Pep Talks, and of the band in general, is more about hope than despair. “I think the record’s trying to say that we’re all trying to get through this thing called life, and it can be very beautiful at times and very hard at times,” he says. “And maybe these stories will help people. We’re trying to give people a sense of hope; a sense that we’re all in this together and that no one’s alone.”

NOTES: Each service offers a combination of the same and different restaurants, so if you don't see what you are looking for on one of the services, there's a good chance the restaurant you are craving is offered on another service. LUCIFER | NETFLIX | 4 SEASONS | APPROX. 67 EPISODES | 1 HOUR EACH

Bored with being the Lord of Hell, the devil relocates to Los Angeles, where he opens a nightclub and forms a connection with a homicide detective. NOTES: Funny at times, serious at times – this really was a great series to kick back, relax and watch. Rated TV-14, there are some parts which would be unnerving to younger viewers.
