Serious legal issues cloud the future of GHS

By William Timmons

Two weeks ago, the Greenville Health System announced its intent to partner with Palmetto Health to become the largest provider of health care in South Carolina. There is only one problem: The partnership is likely not legal.

Let me first be clear: I am not against such a partnership.

I am also not against empowering GHS to have the legal authority to enter into this partnership. However, I believe GHS currently does not have the ability to legally enter into a contract of this nature.

A lawsuit is pending in the Greenville County Court of Common Pleas to determine if the original GHS board of trustees possessed the legal authority to delegate its powers and duties to two newly formed 501(c)(3) organizations for a term of 100 years. In an Aug. 26, 2016, press release, GHS executives led the public to believe that the issue had been settled, since the state Supreme Court refused to take original jurisdiction of the matter. This is intentionally misleading at best. The Supreme Court’s ruling simply requires the case to go through the traditional judicial process before being heard by the Supreme Court.

Long before my time, the South Carolina Legislature determined that it was in the best interests of the Upstate to form a public hospital system that would provide affordable and accessible health care to the surrounding community.

They passed Act 432 in 1947, which created the Greenville Hospital System, defined its governance structure, and outlined its legal authority. The act created a hospital system with extensive power to grow and serve our region but limited the board’s authority so that layers of governmental oversight would ensure future decisions were in the best interests of the public.

Over the years, your elected officials have reviewed the needs of the system, heard from constituents and board members alike, and amended laws as necessary to properly allow for necessary changes. While this process may take more time than some would like, it is a straightforward method that allows for public input and thoughtful consid-

Let me first be clear: I am not against such a partnership.

I am also not against empowering GHS to have the legal authority to enter into this partnership. However, I believe GHS currently does not have the ability to legally enter into a contract of this nature. eration and guarantees a commonsense check and balance.

Today’s developments should not be any different. As a governmental subdivision, GHS was required to and should have obtained legislative approval and obtained the requisite authority before leasing all its assets to another corporate entity and attempting to partner with another hospital system.

A decision this important warranted taking the time to go through the process as required by law. However, GHS circumvented the law and is hurtling down a dangerous path that could be very expensive and difficult to undo. GHS is a taxpayer asset worth billions of dollars to local citizens.

Their $80 million repayment plan to taxpayers over 20 years to various nonprofits of their own choosing is unreasonable.

As a senator, I tried to resolve this problem by proposing new legislation to codify the actions of the GHS board of

trustees, within reason. Those efforts nearly succeeded but ultimately fell through. Now, I must inform and protect my constituents about their rights as taxpayers.

The legal question is simple. Does the board of trustees of a political subdivision have the authority to contractually delegate its legislatively granted governance authority and governmentally owned assets to a private entity?

The legal answer is also simple. A political subdivision has only the powers that were statutorily granted to it.

Here, the generally accepted rules of statutory interpretation lead us to the conclusion that the GHS board of trustees has acted outside the scope of its authority. It will likely take many months of litigation for a circuit court judge to give us any insight and then years to get a final ruling from the state Supreme Court.

Please keep in mind that if the GHS privatization were upheld, then the Ports Authority, Santee Cooper, USC, Clemson, and any other political subdivisions would be allowed to privatize their operations and remove taxpayer oversight, should their boards choose to pursue such options.

We must consider why governmental oversight exists.

Whether we are discussing the Freedom of Information Act, procurement law, or the management of taxpayer investments, such conversations need to be part of the public process. Honestly, I am strongly in favor of these conversations, and there could be benefits to the state divesting itself of many of these assets.

However, it is critical we all respect and follow the law.

If laws do not matter, then where does that leave us as a society?

GHS, Palmetto partnership is a win-win

By Jeff Herman

On June 15, South Carolina’s two leading health systems, Greenville Health System (GHS) and Palmetto Health, announced plans to form a new, not-for-profit health company aimed at shaping and leading the future of health care for all South Carolinians. From where I sit — first and foremost as a patient and, second, as someone who regularly hears about the impact of health care on our business community — I see this partnership as a win-win for the Upstate and Midlands communities.

I believe this new partnership will improve our community’s health and address a major need in our state. The impact of poor health strains the limited resources of both

businesses and the community overall. South Carolina regularly ranks near the bottom in national health indexes for heart disease, diabetes, obesity, pulmonary disease, and other conditions. These results are more than just statistics; they are our friends, neighbors, and co-workers.

Health care is an industry like no other. We’ve all seen the headlines and read stories about how health care needs to change. Government and private insurers are reducing reimbursement rates, our population is aging, and we are experiencing a rise in chronic diseases. There is also intense competition to find and keep the best doctors and nurses. Through this new health company, Palmetto Health and GHS will be better positioned to meet these

challenges. Not only that, together they will have the resources needed to treat people who are sick while keeping people well and out of the hospital, which is exactly what our state needs.

For me, it is important that the new company will continue to be led by local board members who live and work right here in South Carolina. This will be a South Carolina-led health company, dedicated to serving the needs of all South Carolinians.

One reason local control is important is cost. We can all agree that rising health care costs must be addressed.

It has become increasingly hard for families to afford care. The people of our region want access to quality

health care and are rightly concerned about increasing health care expenses. By partnering together, GHS and Palmetto Health will create a company with the scale required to make a real difference in containing costs.

The new company will also be able to provide patients with another kind of value.

This is not simply about getting bigger; it’s about taking that size and turning it into the ability to make investments. For example, the new company will have hundreds of millions of dollars to invest in new technology, facility upgrades, education programs, and recruitment of highly skilled doctors and nurses.

Additionally, these investments will spur economic development in our state. Industries like biotechnology, medical device manufacturers, and pharmaceutical companies will be attracted to our state at a whole new level. That’s a win for patients and a win for job seekers.

It’s important to remember, of course, that all the possibilities and promise of the new health company must not come at the expense of those most in need. GHS and Palmetto Health have pledged a commitment to caring for all members of the community regardless of their ability to pay. Health care is a mission-driven field, and both systems will continue to deliver on their duty to serve everyone in need.

GHS and Palmetto Health’s partnership will ensure patients have access to highquality, affordable health care now and in the future. South Carolina is fortunate to have these two world-class systems in our state. As they join to form this new health company, each will continue to make good on their promise of meeting patients’ needs and providing an outstanding community benefit. Their partnership will make South Carolina a better and healthier place for all of us to call home.

Legacy Charter 2017 valedictorian Ingrid Ramos.

EDUCATION

New name, expansion plans for Legacy Legacy Charter School is changing its name — not expectations — and making plans to expand.

Legacy, now the county’s largest Title I school, is changing its name to Legacy Early College.

The school’s class of 2017 was the school’s fourth graduating class, and all have had 100 percent of its graduates accepted into college.

“Our name change simply better explains our high expectations,” said William Brown, Legacy founder and board chairman.

And to make sure it has room enough to serve all who want to do the same, it wants to build a second middle school on the site of the old Berea Elementary.

The 49 students in this year’s graduating class received more than $2.1 million in scholarship offers.

Legacy has more than 1,350 students in kindergarten through the 12th grade. It has two campuses on Greenville’s west side. The school now occupies the former Parker High School and a former elementary school that once housed the Fine Arts Center.

The Greenville County Council is considering an ordinance that would authorize the sale of the old Berea Elementary at the corner of Farrs Bridge and Sulphur Springs roads to Legacy for $400,000. According to the ordinance, which was referred to the Council’s finance committee after first reading, Legacy would build a new school with a façade substantially the same as the old elementary school, which Legacy founder and board chairman William Brown said is not economically feasible to keep.

Brown said the school has wood floors and would not be safe for students. He said somebody who went through the school recently actually fell through the floor.

A group of Berea residents have fought since 2015 to save the old school after a Florida developer proposed rezoning the property and building a commercial development. The Works Progress Administration completed the school in 1939. It served as a campus for Greenville Technical College before its current Northwest campus was built on White Horse Road.

Brown said a second middle school is needed because Legacy is at capacity at that grade level.

Clemson University student honored with prestigious astronaut scholarship The Astronaut Scholarship Foundation (ASF) has awarded more than $4 million to undergraduate students since its inception about 30 years ago.

Clemson University’s Caitlin Seluzicki is now one of those students.

Seluzicki, a rising senior majoring in microbiology, was recently awarded the 2017 Astronaut Scholar Award for her research under David Feliciano, an assistant professor of biological sciences at Clemson University.

She is one of only seven Clemson students to have ever received the award, which comes with a $10,000 scholarship for tuition, textbooks, fees, and room and board.

“I am grateful for the mentoring that I have received in Dr. Feliciano’s lab that has allowed me to develop skills that will be indispensable in my pursuits,” said Seluzicki. “I’m grateful to be a part of research that I am passionate about.”

Feliciano and his students study how neural stem cells direct brain growth, research that contributes to the treatment of neurological disorders.

Seluzicki contributes to Feliciano’s research by studying the role of an amino acid transporter in cerebral cortical development.

“It’s gratifying to be able to pass the torch to young, rising scientists like Caitlin,” Feliciano said. “Caitlin is dedicated to the scientific process, and this award assures her the continued opportunity to pursue her intellectual curiosities. Our laboratory is very proud of her efforts, and we are excited to see what she will accomplish next.”

Seluzicki has been named to the President’s List and Dean’s List at Clemson every semester of her undergraduate career. She was also recently awarded the 2017 Barry Goldwater Scholarship for her research.

The ASF selected Seluzicki for her “unyielding pursuit of undergraduate research and also for her excellence in her coursework,” according to a press release.

The six surviving members of the Mercury 7 mission founded the ASF in 1984 to encourage students to pursue scientific studies to keep the United States on the leading edge of technology.

Astronauts from the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, and Space Shuttle programs have since joined the ASF, which has awarded scholarships to more than 400 of the nation’s top scholars in STEM fields.

Admission into the scholarship program is highly competitive, and only the top research universities in the country are chosen to participate. Only two students can be nominated each year from participating universities, of which only one student can receive the award.

Seluzicki was nominated by faculty across multiple departments, including biological sciences, mathematical sciences, physics and astronomy, and more.

Seluzicki plans to spend her summer interning at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Massachusetts, studying the processes necessary to keep cells living, which will help her future studies.

After graduating, she plans to attend graduate school to pursue development neuroscience research. —Andrew Moore

New Veterans Memorial in City Park gets thumbs up from City Council

OPEN 7 DAYS a week

For details and locations visit:

GreenvilleRec.com

Greenville City Council has endorsed the idea of having a veterans memorial in the city’s planned signature park, presently referred to as City Park.

Currently, Greenville County doesn’t have a park dedicated to veterans; however, there is a memorial at County Square. Once County Square is redeveloped, the Veterans Memorial will no longer have a home. The County Square Veterans Memorial was erected in 1996 by the Greenville County Veterans Affairs department and honors those who fought in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf Wars, and undeclared wars. It also honors Medal of Honor recipients, prisoners of war, and those who are missing in action.

The resolution allows a committee headed

by Doug Greenlaw, chairman and co-founder of the Community Journals and founder of the Upstate Chapter of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, to work collaboratively with the city and its park consultant, MKSK design firm, to come up with a design for the memorial that honors veterans and weaves into the existing design of City Park. It also allows the group to begin fundraising efforts for the memorial and related park features’ design and construction.

The resolution says any financial support of the memorial project would require a separate Council action.

Groundbreaking for City Park could be held as early as spring 2018. —Cindy Landrum

Greenville Zoo welcomes Amur leopard cubs The Greenville Zoo has announced the birth of two Amur leopard cubs.

The cubs, born on April 29, are the first

offspring for Jade, the zoo’s 7-year-old female Amur leopard, and Nelkan, an 11-year-old male that was imported from a zoo in Berlin, Germany, last year as part of the Amur Leopard Species Survival Plan (SSP).

Nelkan arrived at the zoo in November and was introduced to Jade on Jan. 18.

According to a press release, the pair’s cubs are doing well. However, they aren’t old enough be on exhibit. The zoo has installed a video monitor at the Amur leopard exhibit to allow guests to see inside their den and watch them as they grow.

The gender of the cubs will be determined during their first physical exam, which will occur in the next couple of weeks.

Jeff Bullock, Greenville Zoo administrator, said the cubs’ birth is important for the zoo’s conservation efforts and the Amur Leopard Species Survival Plan, “as it will introduce another bloodline into the North American population.”

Jade and Nelkan are part of the Species Survival Plan, a program developed by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums in 1981 to help ensure the survival of selected species, most of which are threatened or endangered.

The Amur leopard is one of the world’s rarest big cat species, with just 70 in the wild and 200 in captivity. Their numbers have been dwindling for decades due to poaching for their fur, as well as the loss of natural habitat and diseases.

In 2016, there were 14 Amur leopard births, three of which happened in zoos across North America, according to Bullock. There have only been nine Amur leopard births so far this year.

In addition to its participating in the Amur Leopard SSP, the Greenville Zoo supports the Amur Leopard and Tiger Alliance, a coalition of international organizations working to support conservation of Amur leopards and tigers in the wild, through its Quarters for Conservation program, donating nearly $15,000 since 2012.

The zoo plans to donate even more money to the group later this year. —Andrew Moore

comprehensive cancer treatment and care,” said Craig McCoy, CEO of Bon Secours St. Francis Health System, in a news release. “We all share a passion for creating the right environment to help bring about bright futures for teens and their families.”

The unit at St. Francis will serve cancer patients between 15 and 39. Programs will be introduced over the next two years.

Teen Cancer America is a national nonprofit that seeks “to help hospitals and health care professionals bridge the gap between pediatric and adult oncology care” in the United States. The nonprofit is an offshoot of Teenage Cancer Trust, based in the United Kingdom. Both organizations were founded by musicians Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend of The Who. Often, teenage and young adult cancer patients are either treated in pediatric wards with young kids or at a general cancer unit with older adults. Teen Cancer America helps develop “specialized units” for patients who are in between the two demographics, creating an

environment that meets this population’s unique needs.

“Since 2012, we have cared for AYAs in the Upstate, and this partnership will take the program to the next level as we launch a vibrant, developmentally appropriate inpatient unit and support services dedicated to teens and young adults,” said Dr. Hall Croswell, director of BSSF’s Adolescent Young Adult Cancer Care and Blood Disorders Program.

At the time of last Wednesday’s announcement, Teen Cancer America and First Citizens Bank pledged to donate $320,000 toward the development of the new unit and programs.

First Citizens Bank’s support of Teen Cancer America is the company’s “largest-ever corporate philanthropic initiative.” Across the country, the bank has helped the nonprofit fulfill its mission through raising funds, increasing awareness, and partnering with hospitals and medical centers.

First Citizens’ current campaign theme in support of Teen Cancer America is “Open the Door,” a reference to the need in the United States to establish more teenage and young adult cancer programs.

The theme is inspired by Roger Daltrey’s new recording of the song “Let My Love Open the Door.” —Emily Pietras

ARTS

New artwork coming to Main Street recycling bins Greenville has some artists who can work “Flat Out Under Pressure.”

Last weekend, 90 artists participated in the Metropolitan Art Council’s “Flat Out Under Pressure,” a 24-hour two-dimensional art competition whose winners have their work reproduced on recycling bins that are scattered up and down Greenville’s Main Street from the Hyatt Regency to the West End.

Ten of the works submitted for MAC’s annual Flat Out Under Pressure program on June 24. The first place winner was Starr Haney whose painting, "Girl Power," is pictured in the top center.

This year’s event was the largest since Flat Out Under Pressure began in 2009.

“It is always so rewarding and interesting to see what is created in a 24-hour period,” said Alan Ethridge, MAC executive director. The 87 submissions are on display in the MAC gallery at 16 Augusta St. through July 21.

Starr Haney won first place. Other award-winners were Jo Carol Mitchell-Rogers, second place; Paul Flint, third place; Tami Cardnella, fourth place; Diane Kilgore Condon, fifth place; Janina Tukarski Ellis, sixth place; Jacki Newell, seventh place; and Kent Ambler, eighth place.

Exhibit committee awards were given to Blake Smith, Michelle Jardines, Elizabeth Kinney, Nivya Kuriakose, Cindy Hammond, Susan Schwartzkopf, Olivia Perreault, and Nick Ring.

Artwork from the winning artists will be reproduced on the front and back of recycling bins, which will become an outdoor art gallery, said Ethridge. —Cindy Landrum

fourth feast

THIS AMERICAN POTLUCK Don’t know what dish to take to the annual Fourth of July picnic?

We got you. Or rather, several local chefs do.

Eight members of the local culinary scene (present and future) have told us, in their own words and recipes, what they would take if they were invited to a celebratory cookout. The recipes range from simple salads to more complex soups to the perfect deviled eggs and seasonal desserts.

You’re sure to make quite an impression at the family cookout with any of these winners.

Gregory McPhee, The Anchorage

“The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays because it’s centered around friends, family, and food. Something I always remember growing up was fresh fruit, so I try to bring something sweet to finish.”

Mixed Summer Berry Cobbler Crumble:

2 cups butter 2 cups brown sugar 2 cups oats 2 cups whole-wheat flour (or substitute all-purpose or gluten-free) 1 tsp. vanilla extract 2 pinches salt

Filling: 5 peaches (ripe) 1 pint blueberries 1 pint strawberries Juice of 1 lemon (add zest if desired) 1 cup sugar 2 tsp. salt 2 oz. bourbon 1 vanilla bean scraped or 2 tsp. vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Bring butter to room temperature and cube. Add all ingredients into a mixing bowl. Work the mixture with your hands until the mixture comes together in clumps. Reserve in fridge until after completing fruit mix.

For filling: Remove the pit from peaches and cube in small pieces. Wash the berries and pick through for quality. Cut the strawberries in quarters. Add all the fruit to a bowl and add sugar, bourbon, vanilla, and lemon. Mix and reserve for about an hour on the counter. Strain the liquid from the bowl into a 10-inch high-sided saucepan and reduce to a syrup consistency. Add the fruit back

Allow the liquid to reduce down slightly until it coats the fruit.

Pour the fruit and liquid directly into a casserole dish or individual ramekins. Add the crumble from the fridge on top of the fruit and throw into the oven. Bake until golden- to walnut-brown in the oven or until the fruit mixture begins to vigorously boil. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes for the liquids to settle. Serve with your favorite ice cream.

Heidi Trull, Grits and Groceries

“Bread pudding is the perfect covered dish to take along. It could feed four to 40; just depends what size spoon you put in it! A lot of people say they don’t like bread pudding, but then they taste ours and change their minds. It is light and fluffy, and you could put the sauce on anything and it would taste good.”

Peach Pecan Bread Pudding This bread pudding is best made with fresh South Carolina peaches, but it is still very good with frozen or canned peaches.

2½ cups sliced peaches (fresh, frozen, or canned) 1 tbs. butter ¼ tsp. ground cinnamon ¼ tsp. ground ginger Pinch ground cloves ¾ cup brown sugar 1 cup sugar 1 cup heavy cream 1½ cups milk ¼ cup peach brandy or bourbon ½ cup pecans 3 eggs 1 tsp. vanilla 10 cups French bread cut into 1-inch cubes

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large heavy-bottom saucepot, melt the butter. Add the peaches, spices, and sugars and cook over medium heat for about 5–10 minutes. Add the cream and milk and heat the mixture until hot to the touch. Whisk eggs in a large bowl and slowly pour milk mixture into eggs, whisking constantly.

Pour egg mixture over the bread and add the brandy or bourbon, vanilla, and pecans. Let the bread soak for 15-20 minutes. Spoon into greased large muffin pans. Bake in 325-degree oven for 20-30 minutes.

Serve warm with caramel sauce.

“If I were invited to a Fourth cookout, I would bring panzanella.

Everything in this dish shouts summertime. It is light and refreshing and pairs with almost anything. It is quick and simple but delicious.”

Panzanella 8 oz. extra-virgin olive oil ½ cup white balsamic vinegar 2 tbs. smoked fish sauce 2 tsp. aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes ½ cup sliced scallions 2 garlic cloves (minced) 1 lemon (zest and juice) 5 large tomatoes (large dice) 2 slicing cucumbers (halved and cut into half moons) 4 oz. basil (chopped) 4 oz. parsley (chopped) Salt and pepper to taste Brioche bread or whatever you have around

fourth feast Start by adding olive oil, vinegar, fish sauce, pepper flakes, lemon juice/zest, garlic, and scallions to a large bowl. Whisk until everything is incorporated. Add your vegetables and herbs, mix well, and adjust seasoning. Tear whatever bread you may be using into large “croutons,” toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and toast in a 350-degree oven for 5-8 minutes. Garnish salad with croutons.

“This brings back memories of picking blueberries as a child in Michigan and going to summer picnics, and it is very simple to make. You can add a top pie crust if you would like or a crumble topping with equal parts oats, whole wheat flour, butter, and sugar mixed together.”

Super Simple Blueberry Pie 1 all-butter crust (Swamp Rabbit Café sells an amazing house-made crust in the grocery store) About 1 heaping quart freshly picked local blueberries Organic cane sugar 1½ tbs. cornstarch Splash of lemon juice Pinch of sea salt

In a bowl mix together the blueberries, cornstarch, and enough sugar that it coats each berry (around ½ cup; if you like a sweeter pie, add ¼ cup more), a pinch of sea salt, and a splash or two of lemon to help the sugar stick to the berries. Mix until combined.

Scoop filling into the pie crust and bake in a 350-degree oven until filling is bubbly and crust is golden brown, 35–45 minutes.

“I like to make simple food/tasty food. My informal party settings are the same. I like to make savory apps/sides, and of course proteins, but if I’m not in charge, I like to make deviled eggs. They are fun, easy, and a good way to get creative with different toppings. My favorites are the ones we do at the restaurant with Tasso ham and a little extra kick from a special blend of dried super hot chili peppers.

“First, you must properly cook the eggs. This is actually proven to be much more difficult than I think most people realize, but if you follow this recipe you will produce perfect hard-boiled eggs every time.

“I always make extra because people eat more than they would like to admit. I like to plan for each guest to eat two whole eggs or four halves.”

can. Put a lid on the pot and turn down to medium-high heat and set a timer for 12 minutes.

At the end of the 12 minutes, drain the eggs and rinse them under cool water so that they are cool enough to handle, but not cold yet (they are easier to peel when warm).

Peel them and drop into another bowl with ice water.

Once you have completed the peeling process, carefully split the eggs and remove the yolk, store in a separate container, and place the whites onto your serving tray.

Blend egg yolks together in a food processor for 30 seconds, and then add other ingredients. Mix until well incorporated. Taste and adjust seasoning as you see necessary. I like mine with a little extra mustard and black pepper.

Pipe into eggs and be generous.

You want to have a full egg, because the yolk mixture is where the flavor is.

Top with sliced ham, pickled mustard seed, and spices if you want it that way.

You could instead top with pickled jalapeños and chopped bacon for a little fun. Get creative and have fun with it.

15 whole eggs

Filling:

Bring enough water to a boil to cover the eggs once they are added.

Make sure to account for the water level to rise once you add the eggs.

Salt the water generously because the eggs are porous and will absorb the seasoning.

Once the water is at a full boil, gently add the eggs. Make sure that the water does not stop boiling, so if you need to work in batches you

Toss carrots and spices in olive oil to coat. Season with salt. Roast in 400-degree oven until lightly caramelized and tender (about 20–30 minutes). Meanwhile, combine orange juice, vegetable stock, harissa, honey, cinnamon, and salt in a soup pot. Bring to simmer. Add carrots. Simmer for 20 minutes. Puree until smooth. Chill.

Serve garnished with a dollop of Greek yogurt and several mint and cilantro leaves cut into thin ribbons.

Feta Cheese and Watermelon Salad Serves 4

1-2 lb. seedless watermelon, red (rind removed) 1-2 lb. seedless watermelon, gold (rind removed) 4 oz. Feta Cheese in Brine (drained and crumbled) 4 tbs. infused balsamic reduction (recipe below) 2 tbs. pistachio oil ½ lb. organic field greens Kosher salt and black pepper Toasted pistachios (optional)

Deviled Eggs

8 oz. of egg yolk 2 oz. of yellow mustard 2 oz. of mayonnaise ½ tsp. apple cider vinegar ½ tsp. of your favorite hot sauce ¼ tsp. black pepper ¼ tsp. kosher salt

1 tsp. cumin seeds 1 tsp. coriander seeds Olive oil to coat 1 cup orange juice, fresh-squeezed if possible 3 cups vegetable stock 1 tbs. harissa paste (any gourmet supermarket should have this in stock) 2 tbs. honey 1 tsp. ground cinnamon Salt to taste Greek yogurt Mint leaves Cilantro leaves

Rodney Freidank, Table 301

“I like dishes that are light and use seasonal ingredients. I like to take ingredients that are typically served a certain way at a summertime party, and present them in a way that folks don’t expect. My friends know I’m a chef, so no one expects me to just bring the crudités with ranch dip or the plain cut-up watermelon.”

Chilled “My Rockin’” Carrot Soup 1 lb. carrots, diced

Cut watermelon into chunks and place in large bowl or on platter.

Toss field greens with salt, pepper, some balsamic reduction, and some pistachio oil, and put on top of watermelon. Drizzle remaining balsamic reduction and pistachio oil over the top. Crumble feta onto greens and watermelon and garnish with pistachios if desired.

Infused Balsamic Reduction: 1 bottle (32 oz.) balsamic vinegar ¼ cup sugar 1 tsp. molasses 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce 1 piece star anise 2 tbs. honey

¼ cup dry currants ¼ cup dry cranberries 2 black peppercorns 1 vanilla bean 1 sprig rosemary

Combine all ingredients in saucepan and reduce slowly to syrup consistency.

Shawn Kelly, Fork & Plough

(future restaurant at 1629 E. North St.) “What I like to try and do when I get an invite to any party is try and take something that kids will enjoy and something for adults to enjoy. Fourth of July weekend is peak season for both watermelon and peaches, so both are featured in very simple recipes to showcase the fruit.”

THERE GOES THE SUN Greenville prepares for total darkness as rare solar eclipse approaches

ANDREW MOORE | STAFF

amoore@communityjournals.com

On Aug. 21, the earth, moon, and sun will momentarily align, allowing millions of Americans to observe the first coast-to-coast total solar eclipse in almost a century.

Luckily, Greenville and other cities across the Upstate are directly in the path of the rare celestial event and will have more than 2 minutes of total darkness.

The upcoming eclipse, dubbed the “Great American Eclipse,” is expected to start in Oregon and gradually pass through 14 states.

It will begin its pass over the Upstate at about 1:07 p.m. and finish around 4:02 p.m.

The total eclipse will begin around 2:37 p.m. in Greenville and last for 2 minutes and 10 seconds before heading through Columbia and Charleston.

During the eclipse, the moon will completely block out the sun, leaving only the corona visible to anyone wearing glasses with solar filters.

A total solar eclipse is often a once-ina-lifetime experience, according to Amber Porter, a physics and astronomy lecturer at Clemson University.

The last coast-to-coast solar eclipse in the United States was recorded in 1918. A total solar eclipse won’t pass through the Upstate again until 2078.

“Everyone who lives in the path of totality should be getting excited about being able to see a total solar eclipse from their backyards,” said Porter. “Most people won’t get a chance to see something like this ever again.”

State officials are preparing for as many as 2 million visitors.

The Greenville County School District, for instance, has pushed the first day of school from Monday, Aug. 21, to the following day.

The state Department of Public Safety is already preparing for increased traffic, according to spokesman Kelley Hughes. State troopers are planning in advance to monitor and assist with traffic issues that may arise during the eclipse.

The S.C. Emergency Management Division is also preparing for the eclipse.

“We’re standing by to respond to any request from our coordinators throughout the state,” said EMD spokesman Derec Becker.

“From our perspective, it’s a localized event, and our local first responders will take the

lead should anything happen.”

Becker said EMD hasn’t received any formal request for planning assistance but plans to release safety information about the eclipse in the coming weeks.

“We’re mainly concerned about people driving and stopping on the interstates to view the eclipse. People need to plan ahead and choose a safe location off the roadway if they intend to watch it,” Becker added. “It’s actually illegal to stop in the road for reasons other than an emergency situation.”

EMD expects the influx of traffic to mirror that of a major college football game.

Greenville and other cities are looking to capitalize off the rare celestial event.

The city’s visitors and convention bureau, VisitGreenvilleSC, has created a “Yeah, That Eclipse” webpage that features a countdown clock, a few hotel packages, and information about events related to the eclipse.

“We’re trying to bring in as many people as possible and turn the eclipse into an extended weekend event,” said Laura Connell, marketing coordinator for VisitGreenvilleSC. “Our partner hotels will have solar glasses for their guests who are in town for the eclipse day, and there will be a limited number available at the visitor’s center the weekend before and day of the eclipse.”

Greenville’s Roper Mountain Science Center expects to attract thousands of people from across the globe for its “Eclipse Extravaganza.”

The center plans to offer various eclipserelated activities on Aug. 19 and 20. It will also hold several major events on the day of the eclipse.

The Lower Eastern Cherokee Nation of South Carolina, for instance, plans to visit the center’s Living History Farm to talk with attendees about how other cultures understood and explained such phenomena in the past.

The center also plans to present a solar eclipse show at its newly renovated T.C. Hooper Planetarium and showcase its 23inch refractor telescope.

There will also be live music, with bands using instruments powered by solar panels, according to Michael Weeks, director of Roper Mountain Science Center.

As the eclipse begins, astronomers will be on hand at each of the center’s four viewing areas to ensure people are viewing the sky

safely and explain what’s happening.

“We want everyone to know how lucky we are to be able to experience this amazing event without having to travel. The last time the mainland U.S. was in the path of totality was in 1979,” said Michael Weeks, director of Roper Mountain Science Center. “Most of us will never have this opportunity again.”

Weeks said tickets are sold out to view the eclipse from Roper Mountain Science Center, but that tickets are still available for preeclipse activities. “We have people buying tickets from Germany, France, and literally all over the world.”

Admission for the Roper Mountain Science Center Eclipse Extravaganza is $10 per per-

son for ages 4 and up for Aug. 19 and 20, and $25 for ages 4 and up on Aug. 21. For more info, go to ropermountain.org.

Lake Conestee Nature Park is holding a “Solar Spectacular” at Lost Lake, which is located behind the Little League baseball fields at 840 Mauldin Road.

The event, which begins at 12:30 p.m. on the day of the eclipse, will include live music, food trucks, nature walks, bird viewing, eclipse-themed crafts for kids, face painting, animals from Wild Rescue, and experts.

The “Solar Spectacular” is $20 for adults and $10 for kids under 12. Solar eclipse viewing glasses will be given to the first 100 people to buy tickets.

From the onset of entering the Davis Audiology warm, inviting and comfortable (so non-medical like) reception/waiting room through the conclusion of the very professional and thorough diagnostics and hearing aid correction by Dr. Alexandra Tarvin and associates, I was impressed. This is a group of solidly credentialed and warmly-relating clinicians who listen well, ask thoughtful questions and, through the use of up-to-date technology, provide insightful responses and appropriate correction. It is a gift to be under their care along with their patient-friendly office support staff and I am most grateful.

DISCORDANT NOTES GLOW Lyric Theatre questions authority with Summer Festival Season

Melissa Parks stars in “The Crucible” July 13-28.

ARIEL TURNER | STAFF

aturner@communityjournals.com

GLOW Lyric Theatre explores the place authority has in society through three productions running simultaneously during its Summer Festival Season, July 13–30.

The season’s theme, “Question Authority,” was born out of the post-election atmosphere sensed by organizers Christian Elser, executive director, and his wife, Jenna Tamisiea, artistic director.

“We always start from asking questions about what’s going on in our community, in our world, we want to start a conversation about,” Tamisiea says. “We actually had another theme planned for this season, but then the November election happened.”

She says seeing the various protest marches and the overall sense of uprising caused them to want to explore the place authority has in society through some wellknown productions.

The season begins with a haunting opera version of “The Crucible,” July 13–28, followed by the hippie rock musical “Hair,” July 14–30, and concluding with the Gilbert and Sullivan political satire operetta “The Gondoliers,” July 21–29.

The three shows will run simultaneously in the Fine Arts Center black box theater, using a skeleton set with interchangeable decorations for each production. For “Hair,” the tiered plank deck set will be decorated with strips of fabric, chains will hang from the beams for “The Crucible,” and columns and nautical items will transform the set for “The Gondoliers.” Props will include modular furniture pieces that will be used for multiple purposes.

Many of GLOW’s 85 guest vocalists, instrumentalists, and technicians from around the U.S. and South Carolina will be participating in all three shows.

Some of the more notable guest performers are mezzo-soprano Melissa Parks, who performed in the Italian premiere of “Sweeney Todd” as well as at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City; tenor Hugo Vera, who has performed with the Metropolitan Opera among dozens of other notable opera companies; bass Ryan Allen, who also performed with the Metropolitan Opera during his distinguished career; baritone Nicholas Hawkins, a Greenville native who

received his degree in vocal performance from the University of South Carolina; and Tierney Breedlove, a Furman University graduate from Rock Hill and musical theater and film actress.

Tamisiea says when she and Elser were planning the season, which is the first time they’ve attempted three shows at once, they first thought about “Hair” because of its relevant themes to the current social and political climate: protest culture, the horrors of war and nuclear weapons, the environment, racism, sexism, and the clash of generations.

“They’re all still very relevant,” Tamisiea says. “It’s made accessible through rock ’n’ roll.”

Robert Ward’s operatic adaptation of Arthur Miller’s “The Crucible” dramatizes the Salem witch hunt of the 1690s. “‘Witch hunt’ is a phrase I hear on the news every night,” Tamisiea says.

To lighten the mood, “The Gondoliers” was added to the lineup.

“We knew we wanted to do Gilbert and Sullivan,” Tamisiea says. “It had the most material we could turn into political farce.”

She says “The Gondoliers” is like the “Saturday Night Live” production of the season.

“It’s very funny and pokes fun at everybody,” she says. “It’s really great to be able to go to the theater and laugh.”

‘CHARGED UP AND READY TO GO’ The Francis Vertigo regroups as a ‘four-piece machine’ VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR

vharris@communityjournals.com

In March 2016, the Upstate trio The Francis Vertigo released an EP called “Reception.”

It was a fascinating mix of power and finesse, blending Sam Goldsmith’s adventurous fullkit drumming with singer/guitarist Reuben Knights’ layered, melodic guitar lines, while bassist Oliver Snow created a subtle, pulsing connection between the two. The band’s music had a bit of progressive rock experimentation in the mix, but Knights’ skill at creating catchy vocal hooks made the challenging rhythms more palatable.

And then after the EP came out — well, nothing much happened with the band.

Knights and Goldsmith toured as part of the atmospheric indie-rock band Gláss, did a few shows to promote their own EP, and then essentially parted ways for a year with little fanfare.

But Goldsmith is quick to point out that the band never officially split. They were just on a break. “We never broke up,” he says. “It was just that Reuben and I had played together in some capacity for the past six years or so.

We just felt like we needed a little time to recharge our musical batteries.”

It also didn’t help that Snow, who’d already been in and out of The Francis Vertigo once, moved to Texas after “Reception” came out.

But Goldsmith and Knights couldn’t be kept out of a project together for too long, so they recently decided to revive The Francis Vertigo after their extended hiatus. The problem, however, was that they needed a new bassist, and it would have to be a good one.

Both men agree that the band was the best it had ever sounded with Snow playing bass as a bridge between them, and it wasn’t going to be easy to replace him.

In fact, even after getting back together and playing a few gigs, they still haven’t. Matt Crisp is temporarily filling the position while the band continues to search.

On the plus side, Goldsmith and Knights have also brought in a second guitarist, Austin Wood, which has allowed them to expand their sound.

“He’s a great player, and we’re a four-piece

machine right now,” Goldsmith says. “It’s nice having another guitar in the mix, because it gives us more ways to express what we want to say.”

The difference in the band’s sound is immediately apparent on their new single, “Snow Day.” A mournful twin-guitar line opens the song before Goldsmith’s rumbling, slippery drum part comes in, and then Wood and Knights start bouncing different melodic ideas off one another before rejoining for a resonating, power-chord-heavy chorus.

“The break was much needed, but now we’re fully charged up and ready to go,” Goldsmith says of the band’s new music. “We’ve already started working on writing what will be our debut album, and we hope to have it completed and recorded by this fall.”

The band will be one of the first to play at the Radio Room’s new, bigger location on

Poinsett Highway this Friday, sharing a bill with five other local bands.

“The Radio Room was the first real venue we played at, and the way they treat bands is incredible,” Goldsmith says. “I’m excited for them to be in the bigger spot and put on even bigger and better shows.”

Who doesn’t appreciate a good underdog story? Fiction Addiction will take a day to celebrate the “brave scribe warriors” — self-published and small-press authors who have demonstrated dogged determination to tell their stories to a larger audience. Throughout the day, 10 authors are scheduled to conduct book signings at the store in hour-long shifts, and perhaps attendees will discover their next summer read. The event will also include a launch party, beginning at noon, for Laurel Shaler’s “Reclaiming Sanity: Hope and Healing for Trauma, Stress, and Overwhelming Life Events.” —Emily Pietras

MUSIC

Swannanoa Chamber Music Festival Music lovers, you can either take Inessa Zaretsky’s word for it when she says that the Swannanoa Chamber Music Festival lineup includes some of the world’s best, or you can look at the awards this year’s participants have won. This season’s lineup includes Vadym Kholodenko, a gold medalist at the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition, and Itamar Zorman, a winner in the International Tchaikovsky Competition. The festival, one of the oldest music festivals in the United States, will hold concerts in Greenville on Mondays in July. The festival also holds concerts at Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa, N.C., and the Performing Arts Center in Waynesville, N.C. Zaretsky, a pianist and the festival’s artistic director, will perform in the festival’s first concert along with the Jasper String Quartet and percussionist Yousik Sheronik. — Cindy Landrum

WARNING: Dogs and Fireworks Don’t Mix

Those big, booming sounds and sparkling balls of fire are fun for humans, but for animals it’s just plain scary. Don’t get me wrong, I’m as patriotic as the next dog, but the 4th of July can be one of the scariest days of the year for me.

Thankfully, I just got adopted by a person who plans to keep me in a safe, escape-proof space during all the chaos and celebrations. More pets get lost on the 4th of July than on any other day of the year, and it gives me peace of mind knowing I won’t be one of them.

Remember, if your four-legged kids ever do get lost, Animal Care is the FIRST place you should go.

Emily Musolino Band w/ Kelly Jo VILLive Summer Concert Series, 1288 Pendleton St. 6 p.m. | Free villagewgvl.com

It’s clear within a few seconds of hearing Durham, N.C.’s Emily Musolino play guitar that she’s a badass. A deadly soloist with truly skillful grasp of electric blues, her playing would be enough reason to listen https://emilymusolino.bandcamp.com/ to her music, but then you get to the lyrics of her songs, which in some cases could peel the paint off buildings. “You cheating b**ch/Don’t try to talk me out of this… You made those f**kin’ choices/You’re gonna watch the consequences,” she sings on a slow, jazzy vamp called “Jealous Girl.” It’s a brutally honest, effective mix of classic rock guitar fireworks and modern-day jilted-lover storytelling. “When it comes to guitar players, Stevie Ray Vaughan is up at the top of the list, along with Jimi Hendrix,” Musolino says of her influences. “And I like a lot of old soul music like Etta James. But lyrically, I like more modern stuff like Amy Winehouse. Her lyrics are very blunt and to the point and speak to her experiences. And I think what really draws people in is when they can identify with the story. It’s the little details that make it more personal.” — Vincent Harris

Nora Jane Struthers & The Party Line w/ Andrew Leahey & The Homestead

The Spinning Jenny, 107 Cannon St., Greer 8 p.m. | $10 adv/$12 door thespinningjennygreer.com Listening to singer Nora Jane Struthers’ latest album, “Wake,” is like turning the dial on a radio.

One minute you’re hearing acoustic string band music, then it’s down-the-middle alt-country, then a dose of confident, swaggering rock and roll before a detour into confessional folk. It would be distracting if the music wasn’t so uniformly excellent. “I wasn’t really conscious of trying to make it sound like different genres,” Struthers says. “But there are certainly songs that feel more like country, and songs that feel more rock and roll, which are both strong influences of mine. I think it was just a matter of letting my roots show on that record.” Struthers produced the record herself, and created a fullbodied sound that lets her powerful voice shine alongside the contributions of her genre-bending band, The Party Line. It’s a great production job, and she’ll never, ever be doing that again.

“It was tough to switch back and forth between being an artist and a producer,” she says. “I’m proud of that record, but it’s not something I’ll be doing it again in the future. The process was miserable. Maybe it’s harder to be objective with your own stuff.” —Vincent Harris

Little Lesley & The Bloodshots w/ The Snopes Family Band and Darby Wilcox Gottrocks, 200 Eisenhower Drive, Greenville 9 p.m. | $10 villagewgvl.com

If you’re an Upstate music lover, you probably know that for a while there, you could catch Little Lesley & The Bloodshots somewhere close by every weekend, slamming out their brand of old-school rockabilly (and we do mean old-school; think Sun Records, not Reverend Horton Heat) while Little Lesley stood on her upright bass and thumped away, stealing the show and our hearts. But it seems like it’s been a while since that’s been the case, and the main reason is that for the last year or so, Lesley & the Bloodshots have hit the rockabilly festival circuit, and hit it hard. They’ve played different festivals from Myrtle Beach to Vegas to London, and Lesley says that it’s made them a better band. “It really makes you focus on your performance and focus on putting on a show,” she says. “It can get too comfortable when you play local bars; your friends are there, and it’s just a more laid-back atmosphere. Festival performances keep you more on your toes because people are expecting a show. And I try to bring that experience back with me to our own shows and make it a really big performance.” —Vincent Harris

show will begin at 9:45 p.m. For the best view, head over to Main Street between Court Street and Falls Park Drive.
