WHY GREENVILLE COUNT Y IS WORKING ON A NEW

comprehensive plan n story by CINDY LANDRUM

Greenville County is working on a new comprehensive plan that will help shape growth and development for the next decade.

The county is near the end of the first round of nine community meetings to get ideas from its citizens on where they want growth to occur and what it should look like. It’s the first phase of a three-phase process that ultimately determines where Greenville County’s new housing, jobs, and other amenities will go.

“This is the public’s plan,” said Greenville County Planning Director Sarah Holt. “They are the experts on their own communities and neighborhoods.”

The last time the county updated its comprehensive plan was in 2009, a time when the recession put the brakes on growth and development. The economy has heated back up and Greenville County has become a hotbed for growth.

GREENVILLE COUNT Y POPUL ATION GROW TH

“It’s a totally different time,” Holt said.

“There’s been a 180-degree shift.”

And that shift has caused conflict as residents in some areas of the county have fought developments they say undermine quality of life by clogging roads and overtaxing infrastructure.

Holt said the 2009 plan was more “onesize-fits-all” and she hopes the new plan will be more character-based because the

785-square-mile county differs greatly from one end to the other in terms of topography, density, culture, and beliefs. For instance, residents in some areas of the county support zoning as a way to prevent development they consider undesirable, while residents in the northern part of Greenville County have traditionally eschewed zoning because it restricts what owners can do with their property.

COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM Here’s a quick guide to what you need to know about Plan Greenville County.

WHAT IS IT?

The comprehensive plan will serve as the county’s roadmap for where and how future growth and development should occur. The plan will look at existing conditions, identify the county’s issues and needs, and provide a guide for citizens and decision-makers on how the community should change over time.

WHY IS THE COUNTY DOING IT?

South Carolina law requires municipalities and counties to prepare new comprehensive plans every 10 years. The comprehensive plan must address nine elements: population, economic development, natural resources, cultural resources, community facilities, housing, land use, transpor-

tation, and priority investments in public infrastructure and facilities. State law mandates that comprehensive plans be reviewed every five years.

for different areas of the county.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Greenville County’s population has increased 14 percent since 2010, putting it over half a million people, and the growth is expected to continue. ESRI Business Analyst expects the county to grow by 8 percent more by 2023. Some of the areas experiencing the most growth are eastern Greenville County in the Five Forks area, the area between Greenville and Mauldin, downtown Greenville, and near Travelers Rest.

While the plan is not regulatory, it forms the foundation for all regulatory documents that come after it, Holt said. The comprehensive plan will contain a future land use map that shows the desired locations of different land uses in Greenville County. The planning department, the planning commission, and County Council use the map when making decisions on rezoning requests. Holt said the council has indicated it will revamp the county’s zoning and land development ordinances following the adoption of the plan. She said she envisions zoning that is tailored

New connector expected to alleviate congestion on Woodruff Road n story by CINDY LANDRUM

NEED TO KNOW The new connector is expected to cut traffic on one of the most congested parts of Woodruff Road by more than 20 percent

WHAT’S IN A NAME?

Construction is scheduled to be completed by June. The project is currently about 50% complete.

A new connector road expected to cut traffic on one of the most congested parts of Woodruff Road by more than 20 percent is on schedule to be completed in June.

The two-lane road will allow motorists to access Magnolia Park, where Costco and Cabela’s are located, and the shopping centers that contain Target, Academy Sports and Trader Joe’s without having to actually get on traffic-choked Woodruff Road.

The idea for the connector came in 2016 after Piedmont Natural Gas, which has a facility behind Target, told city officials it was considering building a private road from Woodruff Industrial Lane to Verdae Boulevard so it had an alternate to Woodruff Road to get its trucks out of its facility in an emergency.

The limited access connector will connect with Ketron Court, Green Heron Road and Woodruff Industrial Lane with roundabouts.

It also includes construction of a right-turn lane and other improvements on Woodruff

Greenville has guidelines for naming roads, including:

Industrial Lane.

The project is about 50 percent compete, Greenville Public Works Director Mike Murphy told members of the Greenville City Council on Monday. When it’s finished, about 7,000 cars per day are expected to use it.

Piedmont Natural Gas provided $1,287,500 for the project. Verdae Properties, which owns undeveloped land along the proposed new road, and the Hollingsworth Fund will donate the right-of-way and contribute $312,500 for the project. The City of Greenville, Greenville County and the Greenville County Legislative Delegation contributed $400,000 each to the project, while Magnolia Park will contribute $200,000.

The Greenville Planning Commission is scheduled to approve a name for the new road at its March meeting. At their work session Monday, City Council members said Hollingsworth Parkway or Connections Parkway were their two top choices.

Street names shall not be the same or similar to others Roadways running north-south are streets Roadways running east-west are avenues Curvilinear roadways are roads or drives Numbers must be spelled out Dead end roadways are known as a lane, place, way or court Through roadways are considered streets, roads or drives

Greenville County Schools could change how schools determine their top seniors n story by ARIEL GILREATH

Greenville County Schools is changing how it honors the county’s top graduating students.

Currently, the county’s 14 high schools all determine their top seniors in different ways.

Under the change, all high schools would recognize students using the Latin honors system — students with a 4.25 GPA would graduate cum laude, a GPA of at least 4.5 would be magna cum laude, and a 4.75 or higher would be summa cum laude.

The change does not affect a school’s ability to honor a valedictorian or salutatorian.

An ad hoc committee of the district’s board of trustees recommended the chang-

es after hearing from all of the principals.

“Previously, it’s been left up to each individual high school how they want to recognize honor graduates,” board member Lisa Wells told the trustees at a meeting.

“They call them different things and they had different criteria, they had different cut scores.”

For example, Greer High School honors the top 10 graduating students, while Hillcrest High School uses the Latin honors system but with different cut scores.

At Hillcrest, a student could graduate cum laude with a 4.0, magna cum laude with a 4.25, and summa cum laude with a 4.5.

The board approved the change at a

board meeting on Feb. 26. The new honors system won’t take effect until 2023.

The board also approved having the district study the cut scores used for the Latin honors system after the first year of its implementation, in 2024.

Hillcrest Principal Bryan Skipper said he thinks roughly the same number of students would be recognized under the new proposal at the high school as were recognized in previous years since South Carolina transitioned to a 10-point grading scale two years ago.

Students with a grade of 90 or higher in a class now receive a GPA of 4.0 or higher, whereas the previous cutoff for a 4.0 was a score of 93.

Superintendent Burke Royster said the district’s high school principals approved of the change.

“One of the biggest problems was students transferring among schools, and then they’d transfer and the rules were different,” Royster said. “This sets a level playing field.”

Royster said the change also eliminates some of the competition in high schools where honor graduates are based on a set number or percent of students.

“It sets a bar for anybody to be able to attain — you don’t have to compete amongst your fellow students, you have to get to that bar,” Royster said.

LEGACY

Former Simpsonville Mayor Ralph Hendricks built futures

n story by CINDY LANDRUM | photo by FURMAN UNIVERSITY

Ralph Hendricks was a builder.

From donations that helped build Simpsonville’s iconic clock tower and a new Greenville County branch library to developing subdivisions that became home to hundreds of families, Hendricks helped build his adopted hometown into what it is today.

He also built futures.

Through the Ralph and Virginia Hendricks Foundation, the former Simpsonville City Council member and mayor allowed hundreds of high school graduates from the Golden Strip to further their educations through scholarships to Furman University, North Greenville University, Anderson University, and Greenville Technical College.

“He was a builder of good things in his community, and he was a builder of opportunity,” said Dick Riley, former South Carolina governor and U.S. secretary of education, who served as Simpsonville city attorney when Hendricks served on the City Council and as mayor.

Hendricks died on Feb. 17 at the age of 101.

Hendricks didn’t have the opportunity to attend college himself. He left school when he was 16 to go to work to support his family. After serving in the U.S. Air Force, he was working as a long-haul truck driver before his father-in-law offered him a job at his building supply business.

He eventually bought the business and developed it into one of the largest independent building-material suppliers in the Southeast.

Hendricks often quoted his father as saying, “You can blow cash but you can’t blow an education,” said Jenna Hendricks, his greatniece who will take his seat on the foundation board.

“It was his heart’s mission to provide opportunity for students to better their lives and better the community,” said attorney Rick Moore, who was one of the Hendricks Foundation’s original board members.

In a video recorded for the Greenville Tech Foundation’s 2016 Workforce Development Salute, Hendricks told the story of the first recipient of a Hendricks scholarship, the daughter of teachers, who finished medical school and went on to work for the hospital system.

“It’s just that good feeling that you spent your money well,” Hendricks said in the video.

He said that unlike gifts for brick-and-mortar projects where the results could be seen quickly, education was more of a long-term

investment.

“It won’t show up the day you give it, but hopefully it will show up many years later,” he said. “My legacy is looking at that student and seeing what that student has that he can carry on and make this world a better place.”

The foundation was Hendricks’ way to provide for the youth of the community and leave a lasting legacy, Jenna Hendricks said.

He often received thank-you notes from scholarship recipients and he saved all of them in an album.

“He cheered and rooted for their success,” said Allison Foy, Furman University’s director of donor relations.

Hendricks, who had served on the Furman board, cheered for the Paladin athletics teams as well, especially the men’s basketball team.

“IT WAS HIS HEART’S MISSION TO PROVIDE OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS TO BETTER THEIR LIVES AND BETTER THE COMMUNITY.”

Greenville County Schools adds honors band, theater classes n story by ARIEL GILREATH | photos by WILL CROOKS

Greenville County Schools approved 13 new courses for its catalog of classes schools can offer, including honors-level introductory band and theater classes.

Students who take band and theater throughout high school currently aren't able to take advanced versions of the classes until their junior or senior years.

Adam Scheuch, the district's director of bands at Mauldin High School, said not having introductory honors classes discourages students who are focused on having a high GPA from taking the classes.

Regular high school classes operate on a 5.0 GPA scale, while honors classes operate on a 5.5 scale, and Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate/dualcredit classes operate on a 6.0 scale.

"Probably eight to 10 years ago, there were a significant number of students who would drop band so they could go load up on honors or AP courses for the sole reason of improving their GPA so they could be considered for salutatorian or valedictorian, or even in the top 10 [students]," Scheuch said.

An enduring legacy of care for Upstate children and the Greenville Humane Society Margaret Linder Southern Endowment Fund reaches $2 million milestone

n story by REBECCA HOWERTON | photos PROVIDED

GREENVILLE HUMANE SOCIETY

In March of 2004, Margaret Linder Southern wrote a letter to Bob Morris, president of the Community Foundation of Greenville, asking that an endowment fund be established in her name at her death. She estimated the value of the bequest to be about $4 million. Mrs. Southern asked that the fund’s annual distributions be split equally between the Greenville Humane Society and childhood education and special education services.

When Mrs. Southern died in 2012, Morris was surprised to learn that her gift had grown to $8.4 million—the largest in the Community Foundation’s history. Following distribution of the 2018 awards, the endowment has disbursed $2.1 million to 22 organizations, and the Margaret Linder Southern Endowment Fund (MLSE) continues to shape the charitable landscape in Greenville, now and for the future.

“This is what makes endowments so desirable for nonprofits and rewarding for donors—they make annual grants in perpetuity,” Morris said. “We at the Community Foundation are delighted to announce this milestone and reflect on the myriad ways Mrs. Southern’s gift has allowed others to continue caring for children and animals as she envisioned.”

Margaret Linder was born August 8,1918, in the Sans Souci section of Greenville. She

earned an education degree from Greenville Woman’s College, and married Charles Southern in 1943. The couple lived for many years in Des Moines, where Mrs. Southern taught students in elementary grades and special needs children. Her husband said she could do whatever she wanted with her teaching salary, suggesting that she learn about stocks and investing. She did, with promising results.

When her husband died in 1983, Mrs.

Southern moved back to Greenville and spent a decade caring for her younger brother, Boyce, who had Parkinson’s disease. During this time, she got her first dog, a dachshund named Nancy, then another named Molly when Nancy died. These beloved pets inspired her support for animal welfare.

“Her gift was pivotal for the Greenville Humane Society and became the nest egg for a $3.3 million expansion of our facility,” said Kim Pitman, executive director. “This 14,500

2018 MLS Endowment Recipients n Bradshaw Institute for Community Child Health & Advocacy / Greenville County Care Coordination Collaborative received $34,323 for a one-year, part-time position for one year to build GCCC’s existing foundation and launch a new project tackling child homelessness. n Chandler School received $16,010 for a new math curriculum and teacher training to implement problem-based learning for students in kindergarten through grade five. n Institute for Child Success was awarded $40,000 to explore the viability of a multiyear project to catalyze early childhood education and wellness outcomes through the “Hello Family” initiative. n Quest Leadership Academy received $29,000 for the following: 40 Chromebooks, charging carts, and set up, Leadership Club Activities, and Parent Outreach. n St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School received $30,667 to create a learning environment blending technology and teaching for children in early primary classrooms.

square-foot space houses clinics providing low-cost, high-quality spay/neuter and vaccine services to the public; the Healing Place, where animals are treated for serious diseases; and one of the largest no-kill shelters in the Southeast.”

Lesa Kastler, chair of the Margaret Linder Southern Endowment Committee and the Community Foundation board, commended grant makers and those requesting grants alike for always keeping Mrs. Southern’s wishes at the forefront of the allocation process.

“Margaret Linder Southern’s guiding directive for grantmaking was both specific and broad. As such, grants since 2013 have resulted in phenomenal impact for Greenville County,” Kastler said. “To illustrate, funding has supported operations, strategic planning, growth initiatives including scholarships, therapies, curriculum, specialized equipment, and advanced technology for classrooms.”

A glance at the full list of MLS Endowment grants (available at www.cfgreenville.org) gives a snapshot of some of the dedicated groups working to make Greenville an especially nurturing environment for children and animals. Below are a few of the organizations that have received large or multiple awards over the years.

3.1.2019 | GREENVILLE JOURNAL | 13

COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM

PROJECT HOPE FOUNDATION

Susan Sachs and Lisa Lane founded Project HOPE (“Help Our Potential Emerge”) Foundation in 1997 to help provide services needed by their young sons who had recently been diagnosed with autism. They launched Hope Academy, a small inclusion-based preschool with six teachers and eighteen students, which gradually expanded to include elementary and middle school grades. Today the organization provides “a lifespan of Autism services,” including Applied Behavior Analysis therapy, a variety of classroom options from preschool through high school, adult employment and day programs, social groups and community outreach.

To address a shortage of trained professionals to provide ABA therapy, Project HOPE Foundation created a joint master’s degree program with Florida Institute of Technology. A 2013 MLSE grant of $50,000 helped fund the supervision required for 15 of these students to earn their degree, becoming board-certified behavior analysts.

“They still work for us, and are changing lives every day,” Sachs said.

A second grant in 2015 of $37,390 covered a funding gap of 10,000 hours of therapy not covered by Medicaid.

A CHILD’S HAVEN

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) such as poverty, neglect, and trauma have been shown to have lifelong impacts. One proven way to mitigate the damage of ACEs is through early intervention and high-quality child care. A Child’s Haven is the only facility in Greenville County that offers therapeutic child care, group and individual therapy, home visits and parental education, said Laurie Rovin, executive director. MLSE grants of $25,000 in 2013 and 2014 and $20,000 in 2017 helped fund the care these at-risk children desperately need.

“Some of these children have serious behavioral problems like hitting and biting, and 90 percent have been expelled from other

day-care settings,” Rovin said. “These funds helped insure access to behavioral health care treatment for children and their families regardless of the availability of Medicaid or other funding.”

THE CHILDREN’S MUSEUM OF THE UPSTATE

We always let you know who will be there when you open the door!

This July, the Children’s Museum of the Upstate will celebrate 10 years of engaging children—and many adults—by sparking curiosity in the arts, humanities, sciences, health, nutrition, and the environment.

A 2014 grant from the MLSE was used in conjunction with a challenge gift by TD Bank to help eliminate the museum’s building debt obligation, strengthening its sustainability.

“We are grateful to the legacy of Mrs. Southern, whose focus aligned with our work in early childhood education and special education for children, the very core of our work,” said Michelle Shain, interim president and CEO.

INSTITUTE FOR CHILD SUCCESS

The Institute for Child Success (ICS) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit research and policy organization dedicated to promoting the success of all young children.

MLSE grants in 2013 and 2014 provided operational support to ICS, enabling it to conduct policy research, including the first South Carolina Early Childhood Annual Data Report.

“This report and other policy research led to such accomplishments as the reauthorization and reform of South Carolina First Steps to School Readiness, expansion of the state’s publicly funded four-year-old kindergarten program (4K), a dramatic increase in the scale of the Nurse-Family Partnership, and the adoption of a state-wide Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) for working families,” said Jamie Moon, ICS president.

In 2018, ICS was awarded $40,000 to implement a new “Hello Family” Initiative to address the health and education needs of children from birth through age 5 born in a specific jurisdiction of Greenville County.

“Anytime I have a problem, Corley is always ready to save the day!

I have never been disappointed with any technician that has come out to help me with whatever issue I was having. Plumbing, HVAC, Electrical – they are all very

knowledgeable, friendly, prompt.”

Sue Dendy Jester Tisdale

Richard “Dick” Boothroyd

November 21, 1933 ~ February 20, 2019 A lover of people, music, and good conversation, when combined, Sue relished life and sparkled. Her character was forged by her deep, life-long faith, the love of dedicated parents, and exquisite memory. A true “steel magnolia,” Sue grew up in her mother’s childhood home in the heart of the Upstate South Carolina, on historic Hampton Avenue in downtown Greenville.

Her mother, Allie Gentry Jester, was a dedicated homemaker to her family, a virtue she shared with her daughter.

Her father, John Venerable Jester, was a Renaissance man with a passion for bird dogs and hunting. During Sue’s youth, on the Lord’s Day, he would teach an adult Sunday School class, later named for him, at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church, then sprint down the street to direct the sanctuary choir at the Lutheran Church, a block away. He also was a local lawyer and served as one of Greenville’s District Traffic and Family Court judges.

Perhaps influenced by her father’s musical genes, Sue was predisposed toward a love of Sacred music. Sue graduated from Greenville High School and enrolled in Furman University where she joined the performing choir, The Furman Singers. This association ignited a life-long affiliation with the Singers and later led to her joining the choir of Westminster Presbyterian Church, where for decades, she “made a joyful noise unto the Lord” and embraced the activities of this vital community with her two children. After a freshman year at Furman, Sue transferred to Duke University. At Duke, she enrolled in nursing school, earning an LPN license, and capturing the eye of her future husband, a Divinity School student, Walter Eugene Tisdale. Meeting and

March 28, 1938 ~ February 18, 2019 marrying “Gene” was one of the high points in her life.

When she returned to Greenville in the early 1970’s, by necessity, she began working outside the home. She worked in the neonatal intensive care nursery of the original Greenville Memorial Hospital. Later, Sue worked as a nurse for a variety of local medical offices and gerontology facilities in the greater Greenville area before her retirement. In recent years, she was a resident of Heartland West Skilled Nursing Center where she received loving and dedicated care. Despite being physically fragile, bedridden, and confined to a skilled nursing center life, she weathered the ordeals of aging with grace and an indomitable spirit.

It is a resiliency and strength she has bequeathed to her children and those who knew her well. Sue was preceded in death by grandson Derrick Camp.

She is survived by her daughter Nancy T. Camp of Tigerville, SC, son John Kenneth Tisdale of Hillsborough, NC; grandchildren Chris Camp, Stephanie Camp Parham, and Josiah Tisdale; and three great-grandchildren Alexia Camp, Kayleigh Camp, and the newest addition, Maeva Camp. Visitation will be held in the Atrium of Westminster Presbyterian Church on Sunday February 24 from 1-2 pm with the service to follow in the sanctuary. Burial will be held in Springwood Cemetery. Memorials may be made to Westminster Presbyterian Church, 2310 Augusta St., Greenville, SC 29605.

Lyman, South Carolina - It is with much sadness that we announce the passing of Richard “Dick” Boothroyd, age 80, who passed away on Monday, February 18, 2019 after a courageous fight with lung cancer. Dick was born in on March 28, 1938, the youngest child of the late Robert S. Boothroyd and Viola C. Boothroyd. Dick’s journey in life started in Ithaca, N.Y. After graduating from Ithaca High School in 1959 he attended Ithaca College.

Dick was a proud Marine, joining the United States Marine Corps in 1959 and serving until 1977. He achieved the rank of Gunnery Sergeant. He served in Vietnam where he was awarded the Combat Infantry Badge, the Vietnam Cross of Gallantry, a Presidential Citation and two Marine Corps Unit Citations.

Upon leaving the Marine Corps, Dick found great success working twenty-one years for RGIS Inventory Specialists, a job where he thrived working up and down the east coast with his RGIS colleagues.

Dick had two marriages, his first to Rae Heroy whom he met in Ithaca. A second marriage to Audrey Geaslen that also ended in divorce. Dick learned over the years that while he appreciated each of his marriages; in his older years, he also relished time more with family, friends and his cherished pooches.

Dick retired back home in Ithaca where he found his next love,dog agility and dog obedience with Australian Shepherd dogs. In his retirement, he just relished traveling and competing with his beloved Aussie dogs, Rip and Bandit, often receiving numerous titles. At the same time he enjoyed the competition of dog agility and dog obedience, he also became deeply involved with ARHP, the Aussie rescue organization. Dick was also

a golf enthusiast where he was a member of the Country Club of Ithaca. He could often be found on one of three courses in Ithaca engaged in a good game of golf. In 2007, he moved to Lyman, South Carolina where he continued to play golf, adopt two more Aussies, Ivy and Buzz, catch up with life long friends, enjoy new friends and host folks passing through Lyman. As important, he adored spending holidays and time with his beloved Boothroyd Carlson clan in northern Georgia and they adored “Uncle.”

Dick is survived by his sister, Phyllis Boothroyd Lee and by his brother, Robert Boothroyd (Rita); three children, Jeffrey Boothroyd, James Boothroyd and John Boothroyd, grandchildren and many nieces, nephews, great nieces , great nephews and in-laws all of whom lovingly referred to him as “Uncle.” He was predeceased by his father, Robert S. Boothroyd and Viola C, Boothroyd.

He was also predeceased by Rae Heroy Boothroyd, the mother of his three boys.

Near the end of his life, Dick was a happy, opinionated, life-loving old soul, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend. He will be greatly missed.

A Military-Burial-at-Sea will take place at a time yet determined.

Contributions in Dick’s memory can be made to the Cal Ripken Foundation www.ripkenfoundation.organd/or to the Aussie Rescue (ARHP) http:// www.aussierescue.org/home. _____ He was extremely fond of both of the organizations.

Honoring loved ones. Sharing their Story.

Emrys’ Fête Thursday crowns Upstate arts royalty n story by JOHN JETER | photos PROVIDED

Writing, so they say, is a solitary enterprise. But next week, Greenville’s vanguard literary organization, the Emrys Foundation, gathers an artsloving krewe for a Mardi Gras-themed gala whose flavor and camaraderie reflect this morsel from a classic New Orleans novel: “When my brain begins to reel from my literary labors, I make an occasional cheese dip.” So wrote John Kennedy Toole, the late, legendary wordsmith from The City that Care Forgot.

Now Emrys takes a break from its own calendar-filling labors to honor two of Greenville’s most prominent arts supporters—and with much more than light snacks.

Alan Ethridge and Jeanet S. Dreskin will be crowned Rex and Regina at Fête Thursday, Emrys’ largest fundraiser, with Cajun food, music from the Soda City Brass Band and more than 30 works from local artists in a silent auction.

Usually held on Fat Tuesday, Emrys’ fifth edition is, happily, closer to the weekend, with festivities starting at 7 p.m. and culminating in

the coronations.

“I am very pleased to be this year’s Rex for Emrys,” says Ethridge, Executive Director of the Metropolitan Arts Council and a member of other marquee arts boards. “For the last several decades, Emrys has been Greenville’s leading literary arts organization, and it has published work by some of the area’s most talented and well-known writers.”

Ethridge and Dreskin both earned the Elizabeth O’Neill Verner Award, the state’s highest honor in the arts, and as Dreskin says of her Regina role, “This is amazing that this would happen to me at this point.”

A New Orleans native who attended Mardi Gras balls before ultimately moving here with her husband in 1950 and helping establish the Greenville County Art Museum, she adds, “It’s a big honor to be selected by your peer group.”

Emrys President Carol Young Gallagher says the foundation also recognizes the pair’s nurturing of artists in multiple disciplines.

“Alan has led the Metropolitan Arts Council for 14 years, providing support and funding that has helped the arts flourish in Greenville,” Gallagher says, “and Emrys has benefited from a number of MAC grants.”

Of Dreskin, Gallagher cites the veteran painter’s awards and exhibitions from India to Italy and from Cannes, France, to Youngstown, Ohio.

“Both Alan and Jeanet,” she says, “lead by example.”

Bob Howard, retired president of the Greenville Technical College Foundation, emcees Fête Thursday at The L, 211 E. Broad St. Tickets are available at www.emrys.org/fete-tuesday-tickets.

CAPTURED

SCIENCE Daniel Observatory PHOTOS BY WILL CROOKS

Since being built in 1882, “The Great Refractor” telescope has been used by renowned astronomers and the U.S. Naval Observatory to study the stars. The 23-ton refractor telescope is the eighth largest in North America, and it’s powerful enough to give views of Saturn’s rings and Mars’ ice caps. The best part?

It’s right here in Greenville.

The Greenville County School District bought “The Great Refractor” in 1978 and it’s been housed in the Daniel Observatory at Roper Mountain Science Center since 1985. You can visit the Daniel Observatory during Roper Mountain’s Friday Starry Nights program, which happen every Friday evening from 7 p.m.-10 p.m. The program includes shows at the planetarium and a chance to see spectacular views, weather permitting. The Roper Mountain Astronomers’ group offers more opportunities through their special events and classes.

If you’ve been to The Village Grind in West Greenville, you’ve seen her work. Artist Glory Day Loflin painted the big leafy mural beside the counter.

“More so than a painter, I want to be a multidisciplinary artist,” Loflin says. “I think the biggest gift I could give to my community is basically bringing in the language of sound art, and performance art, and an art that is maybe a little more challenging.”

Attending The Cooper Union in New York, Loflin studied art, architecture, and engineering.

Recently, her work has transitioned to include the human figure. “The figure has always been present in my drawings and my sketchbooks,” she says, "but recently, I've gone through this big change of reintroducing the figure back into my work.”

In her Pendleton Street studio, you’ll find a wall with very large silhouettes of people.

“I think that with my current figurative work, it's more thinking about those longer histories and mythologies,” Loflin says.

Much of her previous art focused on mundane, day-to-day experiences such as vessels around the house.

“I'm transitioning from the places where the experiences happen and the objects that they occur with over to observing figures in whatever they're doing,” she explains.

Whether it’s a sculpture, drawing, painting, poem, or song, Loflin’s work intertwines. “I find that in order to make anything, I need to be doing a lot of things,” she says.

While working for several other local artists in addition to running her own business, Loflin says her relationships are most important in her life.

“I'm hoping that my work is starting to reflect that more — that the connection between and among people is actually the most valuable thing there is.”

For Loflin, art is the glue connecting her many interests. “To me, there’s a real beauty about artwork and the fact that it crosses over language barriers, among other things,” she says.

Loflin says she examines and processes the world through multisensory learning.

“The relationship between my senses and my learning were always very tied together,” she says. “When I take in information, it turns into drawings, paintings, sculptures pretty immediately.”

Returning to her roots after college, Loflin says Greenville has given her much inspiration, which she’s trying to give back.

She will be showing her work in Artisphere this May, and her art is consistently available at Art & Light Gallery.

The beloved, outrageous, satirical musical “The Book of Mormon” returns to Greenville to share the story of two missionaries on a holy journey to the other side of the world.

Actor Corey Jones plays the role of the general, whom the Mormon duo encounter in their travels.

“Not to give too much away, but he is a warlord of sorts,” Jones says. “So he has a vigilante army that he uses to terrorize the local area in which our two protagonists, the missionaries, have been based.”

The general serves as a counterpoint to the humor permeating the musical. “He sort of brings a very sobering element to the show, because the show is very hilarious, funny, and crazy things happen, but also these are people dealing with real-life issues and situations,” Jones says.

“The Book of Mormon” raises serious discussions of faith among the witty satire and potty language, creating an unexpected, relatable experience. “Even though you’re laughing at ridiculous situations, the music, the songs, all of it has an element of truth to it, which is what makes it so brilliant,” Jones says.

The musical's accessibility has contributed to its great success. Jones calls it an "everyman show." While the humor could be considered offensive, Jones tells audiences to "have an open mind and enjoy the ride." “[Trey Parker, Robert Lopez, and Matt Stone] do a great job of really highlighting

and exposing and forcing us to confront some issues dealing with faith and dealing with the realities of the world and real-life situations that these characters are put in,” Jones says.

The themes, fun music, characters, and ridiculous situations combine to show humanity’s need to believe in something else in order to survive life’s obstacles, according to Jones.

“You’ll basically watch the story of two missionaries who set out thinking they’re going to change the world and in turn see that the world changes them,” Jones says.

“They take a huge leap forward in their growth as people and as missionaries and as people of faith.”

CONNECTING GREENVILLE ON PERSONAL LEVELS

n story by MELODY CUENCA & SARA PEARCE | photos PROVIDED

ShareGVL features members of Greenville who live or work in the community. Real people’s stories and photos are shared Mondays through Fridays on ShareGVL’s social media. The goal of this community building initiative is to humanize social media.

ShareGVL grew from the mind of Wyatt Stephens, who was inspired by Brandon Stanton’s Humans of New York while living in Manhattan.

Moving back to Greenville, Stephens knew he wanted to expand on this idea. Stephens met Eric Swofford through Curated Village in 2018, and the two decided to build community through ShareGVL. Storytelling is a powerful tool to connect people from various backgrounds with others who share similar experiences—good or bad.

“What’s really cool is somebody like William Timmons who has been featured on our site to somebody who’s over here waiting for the bus, how they kind of have similarities as well,” Stephens says.

Swofford desires to help individuals recognize and release their passions.

“I think in all respects, what I endeavor to do is to build community and make it easier for people to build relationships with each other,” Swofford says. “One

of the desires that we have is just to create a platform where those amazing qualities, those passions can be showcased.”

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Anyone can submit their story to be featured on ShareGVL through the online form for free. Although, not all submissions will be featured. Currently, everyone answers the same questionnaire, which asks about background, job, interesting fact, life motto, and more.

“We’re highly confident that if people are given the opportunity in our community to be genuine and honest, they will be,” Swofford says. “And in doing so, actually, we’ve been helping others see the richness within our community.”

The two want to remain unbiased in selecting what’s featured on ShareGVL. “I want to make sure that our community vision is literally just a community,” Stephens says. “Sometimes the true, best content can literally come from the streets.”

In addition to social media posts, ShareGVL offers a weekly newsletter of stories that’s also free to subscribe.

Business and nonprofit sponsorships are available for the newsletters.

Jeff Sipe, North Carolina drummer for the Aquarium Rescue Unit, Leftover Salmon, Keller Williams, Trey Anastasio, and more: Kofi was kind. He looked for meaning and saw through all the nonsense. He believed in people and their better natures. Kofi was always supportive of others while reaching for the ultimate musical expression and celebrating when it happened. He had a comfortable relationship with life, truth, and learning and could complement the moment in the most sophisticated and magical way. He blended classical, funk, and jazz into his own amazing Kofi genre.

We called him “koficus magnificus” because he seemingly spoke the language of the gods. He left me in awe every time I heard him. He could talk about anything, even the most advanced technologies and theories of the universe. His mind was wide open. I’ll miss Kofi and his smile.

Thankfully, I can listen to a lot of great recordings he and we did and relive those moments. God, thank you for Kofi.

1961-2019

Whether he was playing for the Derek Trucks Band, Col. Bruce Hampton’s Aquarium Rescue Unit, Naked Jazz, or the Tedeschi Trucks Band, Kofi Burbridge was a natural. The keyboardist and flutist, who passed away Feb. 15 at age 57 from complications stemming from emergency heart surgery, was classically trained, but he was also an adventurous player with an innate sense of a song’s groove. His playing on the Tedeschi Trucks Band’s new album, a soul-jam-rock opus called "Signs," was subtle, supple, and milesdeep, a heartbreaking final message from a great player.

And just like his bass-playing brother Oteil, Kofi had a huge impact on the Southeastern music scene, and his loss is being mourned by local and regional musicians who played with him and looked up to him. Here are some of those musicians from around North Carolina and South Carolina talking about Kofi and the impact he had on their lives.

KOFI BURBRIDGE

Charles Hedgepath, Upstate singer, guitarist, and songwriter; member of local band The Work: Kofi’s loss is felt throughout the music world. I’m thankful for the times he spent in Greenville, either with [bassist] Todd Smallie and [drummer] Yonrico Scott or showing up at The Work’s Christmas Jam. He graciously shared his time and friendship, lending his services on both my and Marcus King’s recordings. Words cannot explain how deeply talented and beautiful a person Kofi was.

Craig Sorrells, singer, trumpeter, bandleader; the Craig Sorrells Project, The Work: The first time I met Kofi, I was only 22 years old; he was performing with the Derek Trucks Band at Gottrocks in Greenville. I never>>

>>could have imagined then that not only would I get to meet him, but I would actually perform with him and everyone in that band many times and create a lasting friendship with Kofi especially. Over the course of the last 20 years, I was blessed to really know this gentle genius. And that’s what he was, a genius. I mean how many people can say that they actually met and built a friendship with a genius? Every time you were around Kofi you just knew you were in the presence of someone who had a superior mind, and he was always willing to share what was going on up there no matter if I understood it or could even comprehend it. He was constantly searching for a greater understanding of things. He was an open book. You could ask him anything and he was always more than willing to share his knowledge. On top of all that genius was a kind, free-spirited man that genuinely loved everyone he came into contact with. There were so many lessons to be learned from him outside of music — lessons on how to be a good person and be kind and warm to others. Not many people know this, but Kofi seriously considered moving to Greenville for many years. He loved our area and had a deep love for many people in it. Even though he never actually moved here, he had a home here in the hearts of many of us who knew him.

Matt Dingledine, guitarist, Greenville Jazz Collective: My experience in getting to know Kofi Burbridge’s music is similar to an archaeological expedition; I just keep finding more relics and gems the more I dig into his music, and my mind is blown each time a discovery is made. There was a certain gravity and focus in his solos that made his playing unique to my ears. Something about his phrasing, the space between his musical ideas, set him apart from the other world-class musicians with whom he played. How does someone play at such a high level on two completely different instruments? I am so thankful for the precious music he was able to deliver here on earth, which I anticipate uncovering and savoring for years to come.

TCHIVZHEL CONDUCTS POPULAR MUSIC OF paul’s TWO COMPOSERS NAMED STRAUSS P I C K S n story by PAUL HYDE | photo ERNEST RAWLINS PHOTOGRAPHY, COURTESY OF GSO

PAUL’S PICK OF THE WEEK

Conductor Edvard Tchivzhel will wield the baton and a pistol (don’t panic, it’s harmless) in the Greenville Symphony program “Strauss Squared,” Saturday-Sunday at the Peace Center.

Why is Tchivzhel packing heat at a concert?

It’s all a part of the show. Johann Strauss II’s “Hunt Polka” includes a part for pistol, so Tchivzhel will be trading shots with a percussionist.

Again, not to worry, the guns fire blanks.

THE FULL STORY

“Strauss Squared” spotlights the works of two composers named Strauss: Richard (1864-1949) and Johann (1825-1899).

Johann Strauss II, the “Waltz King,” is probably the better known of the two. Tchivzhel, the orchestra’s music director, will conduct some of the Austrian composer’s most popular waltzes and polkas, including the “Blue Danube” and “Emperor” waltzes, the “Thun-

der and Lightning Polka” and the aforementioned “Hunt Polka.”

“It’s charming, delightful music,” Tchivzhel said.

DIFFERENT TIMES, DIFFERENT MUSIC

The two Strausses and their music, by the way, are not related: Johann’s short works reflect the grace, ease and confidence of 19th century Viennese life. Richard’s music, ultraromantic in its sweep and bombast, often delves into the turmoil of the 20th century.

Johann’s waltzes and polkas could be considered the delectable dessert of the program.

The first half of the concert is devoted to the main course, Richard Strauss’ “A Hero’s Life.”

HEROIC STRAUSS

Almost 100 musicians will be on stage for “A Hero’s Life,” Strauss’ hour-long musical tribute to a great composer – actually himself. The piece is an unapologetic depiction of Strauss’

trials, tribulations and ultimate triumph.

“He describes his own life,” Tchivzhel said.

“It’s a brilliant piece, featuring a huge orchestra. Strauss was a master of orchestral colors.

It’s powerful, very theatrical. Obviously, he was not shy about presenting himself in the best possible way.”

The work muses on six episodes in Strauss’ life. Notably, the composer exacts revenge on music critics, representing them in the shrill, high-pitched woodwinds.

Strauss’ wife, meanwhile, often can be heard in the voice of the solo violin – a part to be played by Greenville Symphony concertmaster Laura Colgate.

Also notable is the “Hero at Battle” sequence, an extraordinary movement in which the hero and his adversaries clash in a titanic struggle. It’s some of the most powerful – and, for the orchestra, most challenging — music ever written for the concert hall.

“It’s a very expressive, passionate work,” Tchivzhel said.

THE GREENVILLE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA: “STRAUSS SQUARED” CONDUCTED BY Edvard Tchivzhel WHEN 8 p.m. Saturday; 3 p.m. Sunday (The Greenville Journal’s Paul Hyde will present a free pre-concert talk one hour before each performance.)

T EUPHORIA’S THIRD

a southern remedy n story by ARIEL TURNER | photos by HEATH CLARK

hird time’s the charm for euphoria’s A Southern Remedy.

“We feel like this was our best A Southern Remedy yet,” says Morgan Allen, executive director of euphoria food, wine, and music festival.

And what exactly made the Feb. 21 ASR event superior to the first two years?

Possibly a location change, some stellar new restaurants involved, a nationally touring musical act turning Jack White and The Black Keys into new-grass, and a capacity crowd.

“We hosted A Southern Remedy at Zen for the first time this year, and we were thrilled with the results,” Allen says. “We had a sold-out crowd, with 352 people in attendance. We received great feedback from guests about the space, the traffic flow, the live music and of course, the food. The menus were absolutely delicious, with everything from brisket tacos, boudin balls and shrimp n grits, to meatballs, ceviche, red cabbage latkes, and donuts. The specialty cocktails were also a hit with guests.”

The inaugural and sophomore ASR events were held at Revel event center on Stone Avenue with the purpose of bringing in the newest or most-anticipated Greenville restaurants to showcase the local culinary scene.

“We started A Southern Remedy three years ago as a way to keep our guests engaged throughout the year,” Allen says.

“We wanted to host something during the winter, with a warm and cozy vibe, to get everyone looking forward to our festival weekend in September. We partner with some of the Upstate’s newest and mostanticipated restaurants for this partic-

ular event. We love it because it gives euphoria guests a taste of something new, and the restaurants have a chance to really shine in front of a captive audience. It’s a win-win for everyone involved.”

The annual July euphoria event, Tapas & Tinis, which has been held at a variety of locations over the years, was also hosted at Zen in 2018 with local event band Steel Toe Stiletto turning it into a legitimate dance party.

At this year’s ASR, My Girl My Whiskey & Me brought their acoustic altrock, new-grass covers to entertain euphoria guests, and they did not disappoint. While there wasn’t nearly as much dancing as at Tapas & Tinis, they had a captivated audience until long after the food was packed away.

Specialty cocktails from Zen (both available as mocktails) were the Winter Warmer with Larceny Bourbon, tea, maple syrup, orange juice, lemon juice and a hint of cayenne pepper, and the Winter Green Refresher with Tito’s Handmade Vodka, ginger, mint, lemonade, orange juice and lime. Additionally, Due South also served its “Joe Lee Mocktail” of cold brew, ginger beer, and mint.

To sum up: The all-you-can-eat-anddrink tickets at $50 were definitely worth it.

UPSTATE VENUE THE FIRMAMENT CELEBRATES THEIR 1-YEAR ANNIVERSARY WITH A PERFORMANCE BY THE LARRY KEEL EXPERIENCE

n story by VINCE HARRIS | photos PROVIDED

THE LARRY KEEL EXPERIENCE WHEN 8:30 p.m. Saturday, March 2 WHERE The Firmament, 5 Market Point Drive, Greenville TICKETS $13-$20 INFO www.firmamentgvl.com

Andrew Peek has spent the last year missing a lot of sleep and a lot of time with his wife and two young daughters. As the co-owner and booker of the Upstate music venue The Firmament, late nights and long hours are just part of the job.

Peek and his business partner, Chad Hendricks, have hosted everything from cover bands to heavy-metal bands on their stage, and the 825-capacity, 9,500-squarefoot room has seen several sellouts and a few shows that weren’t that well-attended. Again, no surprises there. Owning a music venue in Greenville can be “a fun little roller coaster,” as Peek puts it.

There HAVE been a couple of surprises since The Firmament opened on Market Point Drive in 2018, and at least ONE surprise has been a pleasant one. Peek didn’t know what to expect when he booked The Breakfast Club, an ‘80s tribute band that played the venue in early February.

“We did like 350 people and we weren’t expecting it,” Peek says, “and they were amazing.”

In fact, the band did so well that Peek booked them again almost immediately, scheduling a show in September.

Some of the other surprises haven’t been as pleasant. Peek doesn’t have nearly as much time with his young family as he used to back when he sold insurance for a living.

“The thing I miss the most is spending the weekends with my girls and my wife,” he says. “That’s been the most difficult thing for me.”

And he’s still a bit shocked that he can’t seem to get traction with the agents for various heavy metal bands, despite having done well with metal-leaning acts.

That tide is slowly turning, however, thanks to the sheer volume and variety of shows that The Firmament has booked like classic hip-hop act Bone Thugs-NHarmony and electronic dance music superstar Paul Oakenfold. As those shows continue to do well, Peek says more bookers have begun to pay attention.

Peek says there are several keys to staying afloat as a music venue in a town that’s notoriously fickle when it comes to live music: marketing, diverse booking, and planning ahead.

“It really just is about staying on top of things and staying in communication with bands,” he says. “A lot of them plan their tours a year or more in advance, so it’s important that you stay on their radar.”

The Firmament has kept planning ahead by booking progressive-bluegrass guitar picker Larry Keel and his band, the Larry Keel Experience, for their anniversary show this Saturday.

“We decided to go with bluegrass for our anniversary to get into that market a little more,” he says, “and Larry Keel is a great musician who piqued my interest and I just really wanted to see him.”

As for where The Firmament has been and where it’s headed, Peek is optimistic.

“It’s been a good year for us,” he says, “and I think we’re really hitting our stride right now.
