Protected bike lanes being peddled CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Greenville is updating its bicycle master plan, and the new one could include a new concept in bike lanes that is spreading across the country: protected bike lanes.

Protected bike lanes separate bicycles from vehicular traffic by curbs, parked cars or some other barrier rather than lines painted on the roadway.

They are a relatively new phenomenon and not mentioned at all in Greenville’s first bicycle master plan that was approved in 2013, said Edward Kinney, senior landscape architect for the City of Greenville and Bikeville coordinator.

Alta Planning and Design is working on the new bicycle master plan, which Kinney said should be presented to Greenville City Council members some time in June.

Greenville has been designated a bronze-level Bicycle Friendly City by the League of American Bicyclists.

But Greenville City Councilwoman Amy Ryberg Doyle, a big proponent of bike lanes, says the percentage of the city’s streets that have bike lanes is well below that of other bronze-level cities and she’s worried about the city losing that designation.

“In terms of infrastructure, we have to up our game,” she said.

A public meeting on the updated plan is scheduled for May 18 from 4 to 7 p.m. at City Hall.

A demonstration of a protected bike lane will be held Saturday, May 28. The protected bike lane will use parked cars as the buffer between automotive traffic and bicyclists on East Broad Street from Falls to Main streets, said Frank Mansbach, executive director of Bike Walk Greenville, an organization that advocates for bicycling and walking connectivity.

Mansbach said the lane is scheduled to be up until Monday, May 30, but that he hopes it is so popular that it stays.

Bike Master Plan Public Meeting When: May 18, 4 - 7 p.m.

Where: Greenville City Hall

Protected Bike Lane Demonstration When: May 28, 9a.m. - 5 p.m.

Where: East Broad Street from Falls Street to Main Street, downtown Greenville

Color your palette at Artisphere 2016 IN OUR OWN WORDS

By Marion Crawford, David Lominack and Knox White

Greenville’s downtown will buzz this weekend with some of the country’s most talented exhibiting artists during the 12th annual Artisphere, presented by TD Bank.

Ranked sixth in Greg Lawler’s Art Fair Sourcebook Fine Art Show list, a Best Overall Show in ArtFairCalendar.com and included in the Southeast Tourism Society’s Top 20 Events, Artisphere welcomes the most talented fine art and craft artists to Greenville’s signature cultural spring event.

This three-day arts celebration provides the opportunity to color your visual, culinary and performing arts palette with unique opportunities to experience, watch, learn and interact with artists, local creators and performers.

The diversity of art that Artisphere presents to patrons has been a driving force behind its success and economic impact.

With attendance close to 85,000, the event brings in over $5.5 million to the Green-

ville community as attendees patronize our hotels, restaurants and shops, as well as purchase art at the festival. Last year, the average artist sales were $7,300, up from $6,800 the year before. We look forward to another record-breaking year at Artisphere 2016.

Artist Row features 135 juried artists selected from an applicant pool of 1,100 in 17 different medium categories, from painting, glass, jewelry, drawing and mixed media, to photography, ceramics and more.

Fifty-five of the participating artists will be first-time exhibitors at Artisphere, and all exhibitors will show and sell original works of art while offering art enthusiasts the opportunity to meet the artists and inquire about their work.

Artist Demo Row allows art lovers to observe an artist at work – watching them live in action. Glassblowing, metalworking, printmaking and woodworking demos enlighten and expand appreciation of these skillful art forms. Artists of the Upstate and the Greenville County High School Juried Exhibits, as well as Clemson’s art demonstrations, showcase the area’s most

talented aspiring and veteran artists alike.

Those who feel inspired by the surrounding art can experiment at the Art Lab, where instructors demonstrate how to create individual masterpieces in jewelry; experiment with painting techniques such as infusing hot wax with pigments, known as encaustic painting; and learn the early photographic craft of wet plate collodion process that gave way in the mid-1850s to the more practical daguerreotype.

In addition, children will have the opportunity to learn how to create kites, puzzle quilts and superhero masks at Kidsphere.

Next, venture into the science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics activities in the STEAM Exhibit, where the whole family can experience the intersection of art and technology.

Take in colorful musical performances as national, regional and local performing artists play on the Main Stage, the Culinary Arts Café Stage and the new Acoustic Café Stage on South Main Street. In Falls Park, be prepared to engage in Brian Olsen’s live painting demonstration of popular culture icons set to music at the Art in Action Stage and participate in London artist Julian Wild’s communal sculpture, Making the Connection.

Artisphere provides the opportunity to also please your palate – sip, taste and experience selections from some of the most popular restaurants in Greenville at the Culinary Arts Café.

Don’t miss the tastings from the trendiest craft beers and premium wines at

the Wine & Craft Beer Experience.

There are many ways to create a colorful experience at Artisphere. Come find your perfect medium and enjoy Greenville’s growing arts community May 13–15.

Whatever it is you’re looking for, at any age, you are sure to discover it at Artisphere.

Dragon Boat festival sets records, changes lives IN MY OWN WORDS

research and support services that are available for patients. I’ve also seen how the funds from the Dragon Boat Upstate Festival have made a difference in the lives of the institute’s patients and their families. The event has raised more than $2 million over the years, and it has supported the Winn the Fight Tissue Bank (founded in honor of Karl Winn, who lost his fight with cancer in 2007), molecular screening, the Rare Tumor Center and various other programs to help cancer survivors and their families.

Funds raised this year will purchase equipment for the Cancer Institute to better study and identify more targeted treatments for cancer, support programs for patients and their partners, and expand the GHS Blood and Marrow Transplant Unit and other local programs that assist cancer survivors and their families.

All of us should be proud of these projects. It doesn’t matter if you spend November until April raising funds for a team competing in the festival, or if you simply give a couple of dollars to those of us leading fundraisers. The event, the dollars raised and the services established because of donations are a powerful example of what can be accomplished when a community collectively comes together.

Until next year… paddles up!

What are you passionate about?

What’s something that takes your undivided attention and makes you want to give your all – then, give even more?

For a few years, the Dragon Boat Upstate Festival has been the thing for me, and I can’t describe how it feels to have been part of an event that set a personal best in fundraising to provide world-class care to cancer patients living across the Upstate.

Twenty-seven teams participated in the 10th annual Dragon Boat Upstate Festival on April 30, which raised $580,000 for the Cancer Institute of Greenville Health System, GHS’s Institute for Translational Oncology Research and other organizing partners.

Teams of paddlers and one drummer – along with a professional oarsman – raced in specially decorated boats on the waters of Lake Hartwell. Each of the 40 teams had their own team name, color and T-shirt, and each chose a theme for their boat.

Some dragon boat teams write a check for donation, and individual donors also support the paddlers. Every paddler is encouraged to raise at least $100, and with 25 paddlers in each boat, the boats raise more than $2,500 each. Some teams have raised over $10,000 in the past.

It’s always a special event, but setting a record along with the other captains and Allyson Steffen has been their teams is an amazing experience. Each a team captain for year, we know that we’ve done something Release The Kraken tangible and life changing, and this year’s during the Dragon Boat collective effort was simply amazing.

Upstate Festival.

Other than my marriage, there is nothing else that’s given me such fulfillment in my 45 years of life.

GHS nutrition program builds healthier habits in preschoolers

The Highest Level of Safety & Security, for What Matters Most

MELINDA YOUNG | CONTRIBUTOR

myoung@communityjournals.com

A first step in combating the nation’s skyrocketing obesity rate is to teach very young children and their families healthier ways to eat. That’s the theory behind the Choosy – Farm to Belly childhood obesity prevention program in Greenville.

“It’s hard to change a bad habit,” says Kerry McKenzie, obesity prevention program coordinator at Choosy – Farm to Belly, a 30week program, which is operated through the Greenville Health System (GHS) Children’s Hospital.

“With Choosy, we try to start young, helping children build healthy habits before bad habits set in,” McKenzie says. “In South Carolina, the obesity rate for children ages 10 to 17 is the second-highest in the country, and we know that it all started early when they were younger.”

When families are consistently planning, preparing and eating meals together, children will choose fruit, vegetables and trail mix over less healthy snacks, such as chips and candy, according to preliminary findings by GHS Children’s Hospital, Children’s Advocacy and Clemson University Public Health Sciences.

The Choosy project, which stands for “Choose Healthy Options Often & Start Young,” involved 180 preschoolers and their families. It began Oct. 15, 2015, and ends May 16 at the North Franklin Road Head Start Center. For the program, GHS partnered with Feed and Seed, an advocacy group, which organized 12 partners for the project. Each partner had a significant role to play.

How the program worked: First: The recipes were created by Clemson University associate professor Sarah Griffin. The bags, containing the recipes and ingredients like Spice Society’s spices, oils and other things they’d need to make it at home, were assembled by adults with disabilities who are part of the Thrive Upstate program.

Second: Loaves and Fishes picked up the bags and delivered them to the North Franklin Road Head Start facility at the end of the week. Children and their families took the bags home and made the meals.

Third: On alternating weeks, Frances Produce would bring a variety of fruits and vegetables to the Head Start building, where children and their parents could “shop,” paying with Choosy tokens the kids had

North Franklin Head Start’s Choosy Garden

earned through good classroom and athome behavior.

“Every day of the week, children were learning about Choosy in the classroom, learning about physical activities or gardening,” McKenzie says. “They could participate with little red wagons and taste food growing out of the ground.”

With help from the Hispanic Alliance and a master gardener, the preschoolers also learned to grow their own vegetables in a garden at their school.

The little ones quickly caught on. “Kids would call out their parents and say, ‘You’re not being a choosy mom because you’re buying white bread,’” she says. “We had some parents who said they quit smoking because their kids would say they want them to be a choosy mom or dad. Kids can be a powerful influence to make change.”

The TD Charitable Foundation provided $50,000 in funding to expand the program to more children and to follow them over time to see how the program affects their health and food choices as they enter elementary school.

So far, the results look promising: When the program began, only half of the children could correctly identify a cucumber; now, 90 percent of the children can identify one, McKenzie says.

Electric avenues Can alternative-fuel vehicles gain traction on Upstate highways?

LAURA HAIGHT | CONTRIBUTOR

lhaight@communityjournals.com

Walking up the 18th fairway at The Preserve at Verdae on Sunday, Dave thought about the drive home. He opened an app on his smartphone, saw the internal temperature of his car was 97 and turned the air conditioning on. Twenty minutes later, under the shade of a crepe myrtle, sipping a Pepsi, Dave reels off the many reasons why he loves his car. “My wife hates it,” he says.

“It’s too fast for her.”

The car: A Tesla S, a plug-in all-electric vehicle. The Tesla is one of many factors contributing to a growing market for alternative fuel both in the Upstate and nationally. Admittedly, the market is still small. But the introduction of cars with style, features and speed is turning heads and helping the EV movement gain traction.

Those cars come from all corners: from the upstart Tesla with its head-turning lines and “wow-factor” technology; to the established luxury brand BMW, which reported that April sales of its i3 EV doubled to 814 vehicles; to Cadillac, an American automobile icon with two plug-in EVs in production.

Michael Beinenson is president of the EV Club of the South, headquartered in Atlanta. He’s quick to point out the difference between electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and what most people bundle up under the term “hybrid.” Traditional hybrids use their batteries to extend the range of the primary gas engine. They are expensive and the fuel conservation isn’t enough to turn heads. But full electric or plug-in hybrids “are the future,” he says.

“Everything [about these vehicles] is positive,” Beinenson says. “Give someone an electric propulsion vehicle for 24 hours and they will never want to go back to a gas engine.”

Batteries and infrastructure Peter Bures, sales manager at Kevin Whitaker Chevrolet-Cadillac, says sales of the Volt increase steadily each year, held back only by the ability to make more batteries. “Eighty percent [of EV owners] go back into another one,” he says.

Beinenson sees the two major areas that are key to growing the adaptation of electric vehicles. First, batteries. “Two hundred miles [full-charge range] is probably the proper amount,” he said. Right now, EV range falls somewhere from 35 miles on battery alone (the Cadillac ELR) to 230 miles (the Tesla S), with most falling in the 80mile range.

Second, infrastructure. “More fast-charging infrastructure, so you can charge your car to 80 percent in less than 30 minutes,” he says. “That’s what we need to connect city centers.”

This is an area where the Upstate is definitely improving.

Spinx has 12 EV chargers in the state; eight of them are in the Upstate. Five are Level 3 chargers (also called DC Chargers or fast chargers). These chargers are 480 volts, compared to Level 1 (120 volt) and Level 2 (240 volt) chargers. Tyler Zelina, a marketing coordinator with the Spinx Corporation, said there are three Level 1 and 2 chargers remaining in the Upstate, but they are being upgraded to Level 3 in a project that began in January. All the Spinx chargers were provided by Nissan and fit the Leaf, but there are various adapters that will make them usable to other EVs, including the Tesla.

The city garages have Level 2 charging stations in all but two of their locations. Dennis Garrett, manager of parking services for the city, says there will be charging locations in

each of the three new garages being built. Currently, charging is free and there are “no plans” to change that at this time, Garrett says.

An average of 300 vehicles per month charge up at the Tesla Supercharger location at the Hilton Garden Inn at The Point on Woodruff Road. This is the second Upstate location; the other is The Bleckley Inn in Anderson. Tim McClintock, Hilton manager, says the seven superchargers were installed in November 2015. “I was a little surprised at the usage,” he admits. “But any time I look out there – especially on weekends – they are in use.”

“The car of the future” The Tesla chargers were not sitting idle on a recent Friday afternoon. Tom Wagner of Greenville was charging his Model S and, in short order, was joined by two other motorists. Tesla likes to put Superchargers in locations where there’s lodging, restaurants and activities, so drivers have something to do while they’re waiting. That can also be economically advantageous for businesses in the area.

The Tesla community is pretty tight.

They wave to each other when they pull in to charge up, and it’s not unusual for total strangers to watch your car or your things while you run into a building for a bio-break or to grab a sandwich. One Tesla owner recalled watching a fellow motorist’s dog for about 10 minutes during one stop.

Wagner, like many Tesla owners, is a goodwill ambassador: A fount of information, happy to demo some of the cooler features – like summoning the car to you.

“This,” Wagner says, “is the car of the future. And it’s here now.”

While a $70,000 Tesla S is not exactly a car for the masses, the much-anticipated Tesla 3 could be a game-changer. In just under a month, nearly 400,000 people have plunked down a $1,000 down payment to get in line for the new $35,000 EV, Beinenson says.

Give us a break There are federal and state tax advantages for alternative fuel vehicles. Both the state and federal incentives are available through Dec. 31, 2016.

SC Tax Credit: You can receive an income tax credit of $667 plus $111 on the purchase of qualified plug-in hybrid vehicles that have at least five kWh of battery capacity. You will receive an additional $111 for each kWh thereafter with a maximum credit of $2,000.

Federal Tax Credit: A 30 percent tax credit on the cost of installation of a home vehicle charger up to $1,000. For businesses, there’s a $30,000 tax credit for installing chargers at your business.

Although we aren’t yet seeing builders putting charging stations in apartment buildings, condo developments and subdivisions, that may not be far behind, in the view of Craig Bailey, managing broker at Joy Bailey Real Estate. A recent development that Bailey was a part of included a Supercharger station as part of a retail/amusement development near Pleasantburg and I-85. That deal didn’t happen, Bailey said, “but I think more and more charging stations are going to developed around retail and other destination areas where you want to draw traffic.”

More than just a hybrid There are many kinds of alternative fuels available in the market today. Some are gaining more traction than others; some are designed more for fleet or industrial use, while others are more focused on the consumer market.

T R E C CON SERIES

Gasoline electric hybrid What powers it: This is what most of us mean when we talk about “hybrids.” Hybrids are powered by a combination of an internal combustion engine and an electric motor that uses energy stored in a battery. Standard hybrids using gasoline have the advantage of the range expected from a conventional car with the benefits of higher fuel economy. Hybrids can range from 35 to 50 mpg, depending on the size and weight of the car.

Supply and demand: Between the 2010 and 2013 model years, manufacturers have increased production 71 percent to 459,150 vehicles in 2013, the last year data is compiled for.

J u ly 2 8

Daughtry

Driving the change: Full-size hybrids. In this class, 845 vehicles were built in 2012 and 17,254 in 2013 (a 1941 percent increase).

Electric (EV) or plug-in hybrid EV (PHEV) What powers it: Electric vehicles draw power from the power grid and store it in onboard batteries. Standard house current (120v or Level 1) is acceptable but slow charging; 240v or Level 2 charging can charge your Volt from a near empty battery to full overnight. Battery capacity varies by model. Some plug-in hybrids, like the Cadillac ELR, also use gas. The driver chooses to run only on battery or extend the range with the gas engine.

Driving the change: Two things are major drivers: First, significantly better mileage. When calculated as mpg (a complex calculation you can figure out here: goo.gl/1vfw9D), electrics are doing well over 100 miles per gallon. Some may never even use the gas in the tank, and charging at most facilities is free. Total cost of ownership (TCO) is dramatically reduced. Second, some sharp looking, luxury/performance cars are now in this space, appealing to the heart as well as the mind: The Tesla S, the Porsche Panamera, the Cadillac ELR and 2017 CT6 and BMWi3.

What powers it: Compressed natural gas is clean burning, domestically produced, relatively low-priced as a transportation fuel and widely available.

Supply and demand: Worldwide, there are 12 million CNG vehicles zipping around the autobahns of Europe, but a small percentage is in the U.S. Still, since 2010 supply has nearly doubled, with manufacturers going from making 4,934 vehicles to 9,454 in 2013. Honda produced a CNG version of the Civic, which it has discontinued. There are also CNG versions of the Chevrolet Silverado 2500, Dodge Ram 2500 CNG and Ford F-250 pickups.

Supply and demand: The fastest-growing segment of the alternative fuel industry, all-electric or plug-in hybrid electrics grew 5,749 percent from 2010 (2228 vehicles built) to 2013 (130,317 vehicles built).

Driving the change: Public transportation has been the primary market for CNG with about 15 percent of buses running on it. Approximately 20 percent of all buses on order are CNG powered.

Hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (FCV)

Driving the change: Infrastructure. California has committed to spend $20 million per year to build out a network of charging stations for fuel cell vehicles. They are few and far between in the rest of the states. The nearest hydrogen charging location to the Upstate is in Columbia; in fact, it is the only public charging station within about 800 miles. The next closest is Washington, D.C. Supply information from the US Energy Information Administration

Supply and demand: From 2010 to 2013, supply was nonexistent. But three major automakers – Toyota, Honda and Hyundai – are betting on fuel cell vehicles as the next big thing.

Each has a major entry expected in the next one to two model years. Hyundai’s popular Tucson SUV is already available in a hydrogen fuel cell version but sold primarily in California where the bulk of the charging stations are.

RESERVED

What powers it: The heart of the FCV is the fuel cell stack, which uses oxygen from the air to convert on the onboard hydrogen gas into electricity, powering the motor. Fuel cell vehicles are zero-emissions, fast charging (three to five minutes), long-range and two to three times more efficient than an internal-combustion engine.

The warning came in the wake of wildfires occurring in every geographic region of South Carolina Sunday and Monday.

The warning came despite predictions of increased relative humidity levels, mild winds and expected precipitation during the week.

Precautions include creating an adequate firebreak around the area to be burned and having enough personnel, water and equipment to keep the fire under control at all times.

Forest fire danger in South Carolina is highest in late winter and early spring when most vegetation is dead or dormant.

In South Carolina, 98 percent of all wild land fires are caused by human activities, and escaped debris burns are responsible for nearly 50 percent of them, according to the Forestry Commission. Forestry Commission firefighters respond to an average of 2,500 wildfires every year. The fires burn about 18,000 acres annually.

Front Row: City Council

City extends federal courthouse construction deadline Council also approves road abandonment CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Greenville City Council members on Monday agreed to extend the performance time for the construction of a new federal courthouse by three years.

The city passed an ordinance in October 2013 abandoning nearly 11,000 square feet of North Irvine Street between East Coffee and East North streets contingent upon construction starting within 36 months.

While Congress has passed an appropriations bill that funds several courthouse projects, including the one in Greenville, construction is not expected to begin before the deadline.

The General Services Administration is awaiting Congress’ approval on the final spending plan before it proceeds.

The original ordinance called for the North Irvine Street property to revert back to the city if construction didn’t begin before Oct. 14, 2016. The new resolution extends that deadline to May 9, 2019.

The new courthouse will contain seven courtrooms and nine chambers to accommodate nine judges. Other court-related tenants include U.S. Probation office, a federal public defender and U.S. Department of Justice agencies.

When the new courthouse is complete, the Haynsworth Federal Building will be used by the Court of Appeals and Bankruptcy Court as well as other federal agencies that currently lease space elsewhere.

The GSA earmarked nearly $94 million for the project in the latest appropriation. It had earmarked another $11 million for the project in 2004. The federal government purchased the 2.4acre site in 2013.

Annexation

The City Council gave final approval to the annexation of 10.81 acres adjacent to Airport Road, Transit Drive and Jimmy Doolittle Drive and initial approval to the abandonment of a portion of Jimmy Doolittle Drive.

Central Realty Holdings plans to develop flex and office space with an industrial use on the property, which is near the end of the runway of the Greenville Downtown Airport.

Proposed abandonment

Some property owners expressed concern over a proposal to abandon an unnamed alley located between North Main and Water streets during a public hearing held during Monday’s Council meeting.

Nicholas Kelly, the property owner who requested the abandonment, said it would allow for continued maintenance of the alley. But some of the other property owners expressed concern that they would lose access to the back of their properties and that they’d have to pay property taxes on the land.

No action was taken.

I learned the importance of the intersection of business and politics while working for the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce from 1988 to 1990. After graduating from USC in 1990, I was the guy who dealt with constituents in Gov. Carroll Campbell’s office. It was a great experience. In 1994, I was political director for the state’s Republican Party and worked with David Wilkins on campaigns. It was the year Republicans took over the state legislature.

Wilkins’ wife, Susan, is a Meyer Center emeritus; she’s an ambassador for us in the community. So it goes to show you that those early relationships come back.

After this, I ran former Sen. Bob Dole’s 1996 presidential primary campaign in South Carolina.

And then what?

New Meyer Center leader Chris Neeley brings Bronze Star experience to organization’s mission MELINDA YOUNG | CONTRIBUTOR

myoung@communityjournals.com

Chris Neeley’s path to becoming The Meyer Center’s new executive director took him through the thick of South Carolina’s Republican politics, into the heart of corporate America and across the world to Afghanistan, where he earned a Bronze Star.

But if Neeley were to pinpoint one moment when his life seemed destined to include work with a nonprofit that helps children with learning disabilities, it would be when he was a teenager and created his own “Special Olympics” as part of an Eagle Scout project.

Neeley’s family includes his wife, Janie; a daughter, Jordan, who will be graduating high school this spring and plans to attend the Citadel to run track and field; an 11-year-old son, Tucker, who will attend Beck Academy next year and a 7-month-old baby, Marshall, who has Down syndrome.

The Greenville Journal asked Neeley about his life and his vision for the Meyer Center, which has been helping babies and young children with learning challenges in Greenville since the 1950s.

Who is Chris Neeley, and why did you come to the Meyer Center?

I was born and raised in Columbia and

went to Carolina. My family has been in South Carolina for eight generations.

In 2012, I made a corporate move with Walmart to Arkansas, and I worked for their corporate office until two years ago when I left to manage Made in USA Works to help companies come back from China to the U.S. and create manufacturing jobs here.

On Oct. 6, 2015, we had our third child, Marsh, who has Down syndrome. He spent six weeks in the hospital. He was born early and had to have surgery. Marsh transformed our lives. It was a game changer, because I had started evaluating my work in the corporate world and the work-life balance, and when we had a child with Down syndrome, I decided I needed a new focus, purpose and passion. That’s when I saw the announcement that the Meyer Center was looking for a new executive director through a national search.

What does the Meyer Center do especially well?

We learned quickly after Marsh was born that these children have to have early intervention in terms of therapies. They need a lot of different therapies, including occupational therapy, physical therapy and speech therapy, and you want therapy to start while they’re infants because that gives them a head start and helps them with eating, walk-

ing and mobility.

Where we lived in Arkansas, the problem was that all of Marsh’s therapies were a 55-minute drive away and not in the same location. What’s unique about the Meyer Center is we provide all the therapies under one roof. And we also provide education.

Children receive early childhood education and therapies in one place, so parents don’t have to drive all over town to meet all these appointments. The goal is to give the children a foundation so they can go to public schools and start their next

I worked in politics and then for WalMart until 9/11, when I joined the Navy, working at the Navy War College in Rhode Island, training senior officers how to do press conferences and media interviews. In 2009, I left the Navy with an honorable discharge and joined the Army National Guard in May. Then on Jan. 3, 2010, I was deployed to Afghanistan with a unit from South Carolina, the 1-178th Field Artillery Battalion, which is a Lowcountry unit around Georgetown.

Our battalion provided security forces for 13 provinces in Afghanistan, including Kabul province, which is the capital of Afghanistan. We worked with tribal leaders and elders to build schools for children, provide humanitarian aid and provide work for Afghan men so they wouldn’t go to work for the Taliban. I re-

“The Meyer Center has done a great job getting to where it is today, a first-class therapeutic institution for children with disabilities, and I want to build on that foundation.”

ceived the Bronze Star for that work.

While we were there, I led an organization we started with 10 soldiers who volunteered their time when they returned from missions to provide humanitarian aid to families who lived around our post. We called it Operation Outreach Afghanistan, and it grew to 200 soldiers, airmen, Marines and sailors. I was elected chairman, and we raised $75,000 from our families back home. So we’d collect shoes, clothing, school supplies and books from our families, and we’d take these on our missions and give them to the chil-

dren we met in the villages. That completely transformed my life and changed me. We were the first westerners these people had ever met, and the children had never seen a book before.

What is your vision for where the Meyer Center heads next?

Dr. Leslie Meyer founded the Meyer Center in 1954 because he saw a similar center in Boston and said, “Why can’t we do this here – get early intervention for children all under one roof?” He started with a handful

of kids, and now we help more than 100 each day. But we have upwards of 2,000 children in Greenville County alone who need the services the Meyer Center can provide. They have disabilities and challenges that would qualify for our school.

I’d like to reach out to all of those families who don’t know about us and help those children. The Meyer Center has done a great job getting to where it is today, a first-class therapeutic institution for children with disabilities, and I want to build on that foundation.

We have some space in our building on

Rutherford that we’re going to be renovating through donations from generous donors, and we will do what we can internally to open our doors to more children. We’ll raise more money, hire more teachers and therapists.

In the next five years, I’d like to see us grow out of our current school and into a brand-new Meyer Center in Greenville County, where we can open the door to any child who has disabilities and have it be a building that’s designed specifically for our children. That’s my vision for the place.

A look into downtown Greenville’s urban living

Animal Care’s

LETY GOOD | STAFF

lgood@communityjournals.com

While browsing through Greenville’s creativity at Artisphere, individuals will also have the chance to peek into five downtown dwellings.

The Downtown Condo Rondo, hosted by the Greenville Symphony Orchestra (GSO), is a self-guided tour of five hom es uniquely decorated to reflect the owner’s style and interests. In its fourth year, the fundraiser event will feature homes concentrated in the downtown’s west end, all within walking distance from each other. In previous years the Condo Rondo has featured homes on Main Street and Riverplace.

“We try to do something different every year,” said Phyllis Schrage, Guild of the Greenville Symphony co-chair. “We’re trying to give people a sense of what it’s like to live an urban lifestyle in Greenville.”

For the selection of each featured group of condos, Schrage said the Guild becomes familiar with new buildings and condos in the area each year and invites the homeowners to participate. The Guild usually chooses condos that are anywhere from 2,400 to 6,000 square feet.

“We like to make sure we have diversity,” Schrage said.

In addition to the downtown living tour, there will be a small flower show within the condos. Each home will have four different flower arrangements provided by master designers of the Clarice Wilson Garden Club that fit into this year’s “Gracious Living in the Historic West-End” theme. Arrange-

ments will be judged by national certified judges and awarded ribbons for excellence.

Schrage said this is the first year the Guild is collaborating with the Clarice Wilson Garden Club.

The Downtown Condo Rondo will take place on May 14 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Individuals can visit the condos in any order at their own pace. GSO suggests allowing at least an hour and a half to two hours to visit all the condos.

Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 on the day of the tour. All proceeds will benefit the Greenville Symphony Orchestra. For more information, visit guildgso.org or call the Guild office at 370-0965.

COMMUNITY Game On Talking Points on Sports with Vincent Harris

A Team Effort

PlaySafe rushes in to take care of injured high school athletes on the field It’s a chilling, but familiar, scene that’s reenacted on sports fields all over the world: A young athlete suffers a brutal hit, turns his leg the wrong way or simply collapses, and a team of athletic trainers rushes in from the sidelines.

Now imagine that scene again, but without anyone rushing in to help.

Smaller Upstate high schools like Pickens or Pendleton or Daniel High might have found themselves in that situation if not for PlaySafe, a nonprofit created to fund and provide athletic trainers in schools all around the Upstate, along with several schools in North Carolina and northern Georgia.

High schools rarely have medically trained personnel on staff. Typically, they’re hired by local hospital systems or other health care organizations to provide care for injured athletes. And 10 years ago, it was a pretty flawed system, particularly in Anderson, Oconee and Pickens counties.

“Back

then,

several

physicians, primary care physicians, orthopedists and physical therapists in the tricounty area of the Upstate were all covering the costs of athletic training services to high schools directly through their practices or individually,” says the executive director of PlaySafe, John Crosby. “They were all working together to make sure they were getting sports medicine coverage to the high schools, but they couldn’t cover all of them.

They ultimately realized that they couldn’t continue to do so … as the demand kept growing and still be able to do it as it needed to be done. And from that conversation, several folks got together and said, ‘We need a nonprofit that can raise the funds, because it’s not supported fully on the state level.’”

So PlaySafe was formed about six years ago with a collective of sports physicians and trainers from Blue Ridge Orthopedics, Clemson Sports Medicine and other health care facilities.

“We currently have 16 athletic trainers in 14 high schools across the tri-county area as well

as at the Palmetto Tennis Championships, Clemson University’s Club Sports Soccer tournaments and the annual Tiger Paw Gymnastics Classics, among others.”

Crosby says the biggest misconception that PlaySafe runs into is the idea that athletic trainers are paid as part of coaching staffs or as state employees. That misunderstanding doesn’t just come from the general public.

“We’re consistently working to educate families that it’s an outside organization, like a hospital system, that provides this service for the high schools,” he says. “Parents often have this misconception that our tax dollars fund that. And that’s not the case. But we also talk to coaches, because a lot of times there are coaches, especially new ones, that don’t understand that the athletic trainers that are on-site are not school employees.”

Like any nonprofit, PlaySafe has multiple events (golf tournaments, silent auctions and the like) throughout the year to raise money.

But they also visit schools and coaching staffs and families to educate them on the

injuries athletes can suffer. “We talk about concussions, dehydration and the general health of the student athlete,” Crosby says.

“The trainers have strategic meetings with parents to let them know what is expected of their students.

“Safety, or the lack of it, at the high school level is a community issue,” Crosby says.

“We’re looking not only to prevent injury but to help these kids bounce back from an injury.

I’ve seen these guys do everything from working with kids with ACL injuries to putting kids on spine-boards, and in some cases, there wouldn’t have been anyone there to help otherwise.”

Upstate musicians jam to prevent child drownings MELINDA YOUNG | CONTRIBUTOR

myoung@communityjournals.com

An Eagle Scout surfer, an elite swim instructor and an indie musician have teamed up to produce a concert for preventing childhood drowning.

Upstate Splash Charity and local musician Charles Hedgepath will present the Upstate Splash Freestyle Jam at GottRocks on Sunday, May 22.

More South Carolina children die from drowning than any other accidental cause except for asphyxiation, according to a state report. Between 2006 and 2014, there were 65 drownings among children 17 and under, according to the 2015 State Child Fatality Advisory Committee report.

Often, children and adults drown because of a lack of water safety awareness, says Steve Scott, executive director of Upstate Splash, a Mauldin nonprofit that began in

February 2015 to provide free swimming lessons to children and to raise swim safety awareness.

A California native and Eagle Scout, Scott grew up in an area where every high school had a pool and every kid learned to swim.

“We grew up at the beach, surfing and hanging out at swimming pools,” he says.

“Our blond hair would turn green because we were in the chlorine so much.”

Scott and his wife, Leslie Scott, came up with the idea of Upstate Splash, partly because of their mutual attraction to water. Leslie, who teaches special education at Hillcrest High School and has coached high school swimming, is a member of the United States Masters Swimming (USMS) organization, which organizes national competitions. She also is one of fewer than two dozen people in the U.S. who is a level 4 certified swim coach through USMS.

“One thing Leslie wanted to do was give back to the community, and swimming is a great sport to be involved in,” Scott says.

“You can do it yourself or with a group of people.”

Upstate Splash raised $6,300 at an open water swim at Lake Jocassee in August, he says.

“When we planned that event we were told we’d get 30 to 40 swimmers, but we had over 200 swimmers representing seven states,” Scott says. “We had 15 organizations donate food and volunteers, and that’s when we found out the community embraces this cause.”

The nonprofit uses its funds in partnerships with organizations such as Westside Aquatics Complex to provide pools and swim instructors, who work with children at no charge to families. So far, the funding has helped more than 200 at-risk children learn to swim.

“The other part of it is we’ll start using those funds with educational programs, going out to schools and educating kids that they need to learn how to swim and learn water safety,” Scott says.

A Child’s Haven opens infant center

Program provides services for infants at risk of developmental disabilities LETY GOOD | STAFF

lgood@communityjournals.com

One in six U.S. children has a developmental disability, according to a survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2011.

A local nonprofit, A Child’s Haven, aims to help developmentally disabled children and their families. Recently, the organization expanded to serve at-risk infants, such as preschoolers, who may be developmentally delayed or who face behavioral challenges because of limited family resources or home conditions.

The new Bracky Comer Infant Center serves infants 12 weeks to 18 months old and provides support and education for their families at the nonprofit’s new main facility that was made possible by a $5.5 million capital campaign.

The infant center opened in March and is named after Charlene Comer’s late husband, Bracky, who passed away in 2014. Charlene Comer served as past board chair for A Child’s Haven and has been involved with the organization for 15 years.

A Child’s Haven headquarters at 20 Martin Drive is 25,000 square feet and includes doors with access outside, windows in the classrooms, plenty of teacher workspace, observation rooms and an outside “natural”

playground.

GGAR Market Overview May Once again, Greenville, South Carolina has been voted one of the 10 Best Places to Live Now, according to Men’s Fitness Magazine editors.

Calling Greenville the “very center of the New South,” the editors point out Greenville’s enviable location in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and it’s nexus of multinational industry, including facilities for Fluor, Lockheed Martin, Michelin, GE, BMW, among others. With 10,000 employed at BMW’s Greenville location, it’s the most productive unit for the company worldwide.

Home values are up exponentially. The median home price in Greenville is $143,000, easily affordable on the city’s median income of $44,783. The cost of living is nearly 7 percent below the U.S. median. Boasting a low 4.3 percent unemployment rate, Greenville has one of the best job markets in South Carolina.

According to Jonathan Smoke, Chief economist for the National Association of REALTORS®, there are four key reasons housing sales will be hot this spring: lower interest rates, more urgency on the part of buyers, record searches on Realtor.com, and faster housing sales.

In March 2016, Greater Greenville housing sales

rose over four percent year-over-year, from 994 units to 1037 units sold. The median price of homes sold was two percent higher than year ago levels at $198,599.

As of April 2016, there were seven percent fewer homes on the market than the same period a year ago. Homes that sold were gone in under eighty days, eleven percent faster than in March 2015. The median price of homes that sold was $174,000, six percent higher than a year ago when the median was $164,084.

The median listed home for sale is $239,000, nearly 10 percent higher than active listings a year ago. In the first quarter of 2016, home sales volume was up over eight percent from Q1 of 2015. At the current pace of sales, Greater Greenville has approximately five months’ supply of homes for sale, making it a seller’s market.

The amazing weather of the last few weeks – bright blue skies, cool mornings blossoming into warm, sunny afternoons – has created a welcoming home for azaleas. Popping out throughout the Carolinas, azaleas with blossoms in shades of pink, peach, white and salmon are a sign that spring is here.

While they are all lovely, all azaleas are not the same, in bloom times or pruning schedules.

Many varieties will lose their leaves in the autumn; others are “evergreen.”

When it comes to blossoms, you’ll see the “encore” or “ever blooming” azalea throughout the Upstate. It blooms two or three times a year. The “Florida Flame Azalea” blooms in April with orange, yellow or scarlet flowers.

Once the blooms start to wilt, it’s time to prune – typically in late spring or early summer. If you wait to trim in late summer, fall or winter, you risk cutting off the buds that will become new flowers, and your azalea will not bloom the next season.

It is vitally important to prune by hand. Please do not take an electric hedge trimmer to your azalea, as you risk disease and having it turn into the “ugly tree” (as in, “you must have fallen out of the ugly tree”) than a rhododendron.

Using a simple hand anvil pruner, you can trim one-fourth-inch stems, or use a larger bypass lopper for bigger branches. Creating an uneven look, with some branches a bit longer than others, permits the sun to penetrate the canopy and allows for a more beautiful, natural and healthier plant.

« Let’s talk container planting

Containers aren’t only great ways to grow summer vegetables; you can also grow amazing focal points of color that will be both beautiful and also attract beneficial bugs that help protect your veggie plants from damaging insects.

When shopping to fill a pot with great annual color, I start with a focal point – the standardbearer geranium with shades from pink to red to purple, for example. I then search for

Great Room. Master shower provides curb-less/zero entry shower floor. Other great features include master bedroom suite and two additional bedrooms on the main level, beautiful hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances and extra large bonus room with walk-in attic. Don’t take my word for it, come see this beauty for yourself or take our virtual tour from the comfort of your living room – http://mls.homejab.com/?p=8219

two complementary plants to fill in the sides and help break up the hard lines of the pot.

For example, I might use a tall African daisy, a yellow flower with purple accents, as the focus and add a purple trailing lobelia and some pink and white mounding impatiens to add some additional accent color. This is easy on the eyes, flows well and pops full of color. If you prefer to utilize the KISS method (Keep It Simple Stupid), your local nursery will have premade pots ready to go for you to just “drop in” to your container – simple!

Adding color with simple plants or growing some herbs, peppers and tomatoes can be as simple as going to your local garden center and picking up a plant and plopping it into a pot or the ground. Start small and grow your new hobby over time.

BEHIND THE COUNTER 2016

DeAnna Gibson Joins Coldwell Banker Caine Coldwell Banker Caine recently welcomed DeAnna Gibson as a residential sales agent to its Greenville office.

DeAnna joins Coldwell Banker Caine with several years of real estate experience in Louisville, KY. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Music Business from the University of North Alabama.

An active member of her community, DeAnna volunteers with Holly Ridge Baptist Church, where her husband (Brett) serves as Music Minister. DeAnna enjoys music and crafting in her spare time, as well Gibson as anything involving her three sons. DeAnna spent some of her life overseas, including multiple years in Indonesia and Malaysia, and often uses free moments to continue learning about other cultures.

“We are delighted to welcome DeAnna to our Greenville team,” said Stephen Edgerton, president and CEO of Coldwell Banker Caine. “Her experience and wealth of unique skills will be a tremendous asset to our team and to her clients.”

Lindsay Blanton Joins Coldwell Banker Caine Coldwell Banker Caine recently welcomed Lindsay Blanton as a residential sales agent to its Spartanburg office.

Lindsay joins Coldwell Banker Caine with nine years of real estate experience from another real estate company in the Upstate where she was a multi-million dollar producer, earning Rising Star and Silver Awards.

Outside of work, Lindsay volunteers at her childrens’ school and her church. She loves spending time with her husband of eleven years Blanton (Freddie) and their two active, young boys (Sayler, 5 and Solby, 3).

Bringing art home Art collecting doesn’t have to be intimidating or expensive CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Collecting art has never been easier than it is now, said Teresa Roche, owner of Art & Light Gallery and an Artisphere board member.

And it doesn’t have to be costly or intimidating.

“It’s not as expensive as people think it is,” she said.

Yes, there are pieces that cost thousands of dollars. But there are many other pieces available for less than $100. Patrons at this weekend’s Artisphere will find plenty of both. So will visitors to Greenville’s many art galleries and art exhibitions, including the Metropolitan Arts Council’s “OneStop Open Studios Retrospective” exhibit that runs through May 27 and will be open during Artisphere weekend. That exhibit features small works by local artists who have participated in the MAC’s Greenville Open Studios.

“People with modest means can easily begin an art collection,” said MAC executive director Alan Ethridge, who has an extensive collection of local art in his office and in his home. “Events such as Artisphere, Greenville Open Studios every November and First Fridays provide the public with fantastic opportunities to purchase original art, not all of which is cost-prohibitive.”

Furman University art professor Michael Brodeur advises people to buy art they love.

“If you start thinking about the value and reselling, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment,” he said. “One of the reasons to collect art is to look at it and live with it.

That’s where the value is to me.”

For those collectors for whom increasing values are important, Bob Jones University art professor Kevin Isgett advises enlisting an art consultant, although there are no guarantees.

Art & Light Gallery located at 16 Aiken Street in the Village of West Greenville proudly displays the artwork of several local artists.

Roche said when somebody who doesn’t own any original art walks into her gallery, she first asks them to show her a piece that resonates with them and is something they’d want in their home.

Next, she shows them more work from that artist and suggests a studio visit so they can talk to the artist and see part of the artist’s artistic process.

“This connection with the artist, the medium and the process really triggers it for them,” she said. “It completely changes the way they buy art. So much of the collecting process is the joy and happiness that art brings; they want to do it again and again.”

Ethridge said Greenville has an outstanding roster of visual artists across all media and across all price points.

“Our visual artists are very unique, and it can be very rewarding to own their work,” said Ethridge, who describes his taste as very eclectic but with one commonality – color, and a lot of it.

Artisphere is a great place to look for art because it is a juried show and everything there is original and well done, Roche said.

She recommends going from tent to tent to get a feel. Once drawn to a piece, visit other booths and then return the next day to see if the piece evokes the same emotion.

“If it does, that’s a good sign you’re going to love it,” she said.

If a piece draws your attention but you’re not ready to buy because it exceeds your budget, follow that artist by subscribing to his or her mailing list. Go to exhibits and the

“See if what they are doing really resonates. Is it worth the investment because it’s a piece you truly love and can’t live without?” Roche said. If it is, some artists and galleries offer payment plans, Ethridge said.

If they don’t, they may have a similar piece that costs less, Roche said.

Collectors may have to save up money and buy one or two pieces a year, Roche said.

Collections can have themes, but they don’t have to. Some collectors buy certain artists; others buy pieces with certain subjects. But art doesn’t have to match the couch or the paint in the living room, Isgett said.

“There’s no one correct way to collect art,” he said.

Artisphere takes over downtown this weekend CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

The arts will take over downtown Greenville this weekend.

Artisphere, Greenville’s big festival that celebrates the visual arts and is widely recognized as one of the nation’s top art festivals, opens at noon Friday and runs through Sunday afternoon.

Tens of thousands of people are expected to gather to view and purchase colorful art and enjoy free music, street performances and artistic demonstrations.

The heart of Artisphere is Artists’ Row where 135 artists will display their work in booths that line Main Street. The featured artists – including 17 local artists – were selected from 1,090 applicants.

To accommodate the largest Artist’s Row in festival history, the festival has enlarged its footprint downtown to accommodate the expansion of artists’ booths on South Main Street.

The artists represent media ranging from painting, photography, jewelry, glass, sculpture and woodworking. Fifty-five of the artists have not participated in Artisphere before.

But that’s not all there is to it.

What’s new?

This year’s festival has some new features.

One is London artist Julian Wild, who will be debuting “Making the Connection,” a communal sculpture project in Falls Park.

The installation will allow people of all ages

the opportunity to participate in the construction of a large-scale sculpture made of low-tech everyday material such as plastic tubing and elbow joints.

Artisphere is adding a fourth stage this year – the Acoustic Café Stage. The stage on South Main Street will feature local musicians such as Charles Hedgepath, Moody Black, Brooks Dixon, Wesley Cook, Darby Wilcox and Taylor Moore.

Food trucks will be a part of Artisphere’s After Hours Concert Series, which features national performing acts such as Major & the Monbacks, SHEL, Diane Coffee and Brett Dennen on the festival’s Main Stage after the artists’ tents close up.

Those into social media can check out what’s happening in the Windstream Social Media Listening Center.

Festival favorites Artist Brian Olsen, one of the festival’s most popular guests, will return with his “Art in Motion” performance. He combines music and paint in a flurry of action to create larger-than-life portraits of various pop culture icons and historic figures.

Thirteen performances are scheduled throughout the festival.

Festivalgoers can see how art is made on Artist Demo Row, while kids will get to release their inner artist at Kidsphere. Clemson University faculty, students and staff will showcase the intersection of science, technology, engineering, art and math in the festival’s STEAM exhibit. Visitors will get to create a Pascagaza (“an interactive contemporary artwork in which the spectator becomes the artist as he crafts his own unique aesthetic experience,” according to a Clemson University press release), take an infrared selfie and play a hydraulophone, among other activities.

The Artists of the Upstate juried exhibition entries are hanging in the Founder’s Room above Larkin’s on the River restaurant at 318 S. Main St. behind the Peace Center. Hours are Friday noon to 5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Artists in the exhibition live within a 35-mile radius of Greenville.

High school artists are featured in a juried exhibit in the Broad at Main Courtyard.

On Friday, the festival gets underway with a puppet parade at noon. The parade of larger-than-life puppets starts at City Hall and runs south.

Local artists, national reputation KENT AMBLER Kent Ambler knew he’d be an artist. He was introduced to printmaking while a student at Ball State University in Indiana and discovered he had an innate feel for the process of making woodcuts. Mark making is the main focus in Ambler’s woodcut prints, while surface and paint application are the main focus in his paintings. Booth #20.

HALLIE BERTLING Hallie Bertling worked as a children’s book illustrator after graduating from the Savannah School of Art and Design. Her watercolors feature the feet of faerie tale characters and hidden objects from childhood favorites. She calls it “art for the visually articulate.” Booth #45.

JOSEPH BRADLEY Joseph Bradley’s career as an artist had a bit of an unusual impetus – he was held up in a bank robbery. The experience forced an evaluation of what energized him. Now a nationally known artist, Bradley, a Greenville native, is known for koi, wildlife and landscape paintings. Booth #108

EVANGELOS COURPAS Evangelos Courpas creates one-of-a-kind hand-built wood furniture using local trees – often from friends’ or neighbors’ properties – that he mills or splits and seasons. The wood’s qualities and characteristics such as grain, color, density and structural attributes are an integral part of the design. Booth #121.

on figurative work. Her style, which combines the lighting techniques found in realism with bold painting-knife strokes of impressionism, has been described as “peaceful, yet still subtly invigorating.” Booth #57.

KATE FURMAN Kate Furman’s jewelry pieces tell stories.

Her designs are made from an array of materials, including found wood, sterling silver, bronze and steel.

These wearable pieces are inspired by nature. Her years of whitewater raft guiding in Jackson Hole, Wyo., and beachcombing along the South Carolina coast are visible in her pieces. Booth #104.

DARIN GEHRKE As a potter, Darin Gehrke’s goal is to make work that is striking and functional. Since Gehrke returned from living in China, his work has focused on making ceramics that combine Chinese and Japanese aesthetics. Prior to moving to Greenville, he worked in a garment district studio in New York City and taught adult ceramics classes. Booth #68.

LYNN GREER Lynn Greer’s emphasis is color. Whether the variety found in the sky and lights of Greenville’s cityscape at night, a breathtaking landscape or a bunch of flowers, Greer tries to make a statement through new combinations of color. Greer, a graduate of the University of Georgia, has participated in every Artisphere except the first one. Booth #63.

MARIE GRUBER Black and white fine art photography has always been one of Marie Gruber’s favorite forms of artistic expression.

Gruber studied fine art at the University of Georgia and Clemson University. She earned a degree in painting from Clemson. Her images are from her local surroundings and from her travels in the United States, British Columbia, France, Spain, China, Costa Rica and Italy. Booth #64.

JENNIFER JANEIRO Jennifer Janeiro creates vintagefeeling pen-and-ink drawings of modern elements, found objects and skulls. Utilizing cross-hatching and hard contrast, her drawings take on the appearance of old etchings.

Booth #129.

JERRY MAXEY Jerry Maxey has always worked with wood, starting with building things and refinishing furniture at his father’s upholstery shop.

When he found himself without access to a workshop, a friend urged him to start making baskets. Now he combines both in his art. Booth #16.

RAY MOSTELLER Photographer Ray Mosteller focuses on “storytelling” scenes in his photography. Mosteller photographed as a hobby for many years before becoming a full-time fine art photographer seven years ago. He specializes in large-scale photography and some of his pieces are 16 feet long. Booth #1.

DANIELLE MILLER-GILLIAM Danielle Miller-Gilliam discovered her passion for working with metal while making a large-scale welded-steel sculpture.

She became entranced by jewelry making in college. Her present work consists of jewelry with kinetic elements designed to attract and engage the attention of the wearer. Booth #72.

JACKI NEWELL Jacki Newell loves painting outdoors, so the move to the Greenville area was perfect, because there is so much incredible scenery to paint. Newell said she wants the viewer to experience what she loves about the scene, which is almost always the light hitting the subject and shimmering in the air. Booth #49.

Collector’s conscience Sandy Rupp, owner of Hampton III Gallery, makes art accessible EXTRA RUTA FOX | CONTRIBUTOR

“IT’S SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL!” –NY1

To Paris and beyond, the world is at your feet the moment

BROADWAY ’S BIGGEST NEW HIT!

Representing artists with work in the permanent collection of MoMA, the MET and the Whitney in New York City, not to mention the National Gallery in Washington, DC, and the Art Institute of Chicago, Hampton III Gallery owner Sandy Rupp has spent more than 25 years curating art. Her collaborations between artists, collectors, museums and academic institutions form the basis for her South Carolina–focused exhibits.

Featuring sculpture, collage, mixed media, prints and paintings in subjects as varied as still life, figurative work and landscapes, the Hampton III Gallery offers art aficionados work to fit any budget. Rupp offered some tips on how to start collecting.

How long has the Hampton III gallery been in Greenville?

SEASON TICKETS ON SALE NOW! Why subscribe to the entire season?

Because season ticket holders get the best prices, with guaranteed seats starting as low as $255 for nine outstanding shows. Plus, our extended payment plans make Broadway more affordable than ever.

Actually, we are the oldest art gallery in South Carolina, including Charleston. My father started it in 1970. He was a teacher who had summers off, so he decided to open an art gallery. He had three friends who were artists, so he called it Hampton III. In the late ’60s and early ’70s, there was a nucleus of professional artists in South Carolina who were exhibiting throughout the Southeast. He started with Carl Blair, Emery Bopp and Darell Koons and soon invited their friends: Leo Twiggs, Jeanet Dreskin and William Halsey.

How did you get into the gallery business?

I grew up in it because I was surrounded by artwork. There were always artists around; they were like aunts, uncles and grandparents, as well as mentors to me. The artists in the gallery are still mentoring me; I continue to learn a great deal from them.

What hangs in your own home?

It’s floor-to-ceiling work by all of my artists. If I fall in love with a piece of art here, it goes home with me. And it stays at home.

How exactly do you decide on which artist to represent?

I’m always looking for talent whether I go to exhibitions, research online or peruse magazines. I’m interested in artists who’ve been influenced and have developed a legacy in South Carolina. They may or may not actually live here now, but either through their childhood or their work career, they have deeply resonated with South Carolina. But

Paul Mehaffey

most important is their aesthetic; each artist needs to have a unique voice.

How do you describe the gallery?

I can’t really describe it. It’s unpredictable as to what I might show. It has to have a depth of quality, but I don’t look for a particular style. I do feel that my artists are the foundation for the visual culture of South Carolina, and that it’s important that gallery owners, collectors, and museums pass along their visual history to the next generation.

Is any type of art hotter than any other type right now?

Oh, everyone asks me that! I am not in the market to follow trends or encourage artists to work in a certain style. I urge artists to express themselves and follow their path.

Hopefully, I will find collectors that respond to that. The dialogue between the artist, the collector and the gallery guests always delights and surprises me.

Should people just buy what they like or have a strategy to pursue a balanced collection?

People definitely need to buy what they love. When a collector looks at art, they bring their own aesthetic to the process. So, I find that often an unconscious connection will surface as a collection develops.

Can you give us some tips for buying art on a budget?

First, ask a gallery dealer if they will allow you to do payments. You could also start with etchings or lithographs, but be careful that the prints have come from the artist’s hand and are not commercially reproduced.

There isn’t a rule that one medium is less expensive than another. However, sometimes works on paper tend to be less expensive than works on canvas.

Ace of bass No matter the genre, Victor Wooten keeps his eye on the bottom line VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR

vharris@communityjournals.com

Most musicians would probably think that bringing incredible technique, genre-spanning ability and an extensive resume that includes five Grammys with them when they roll into town for a show would be enough. But bassist Victor Wooten isn’t most musicians.

So along with a dazzling level of mastery over his instrument, the aforementioned fistful of Grammys, a list of cross-pollinating collaborations that includes work with banjo master Bela Fleck, the Dave Matthews Band’s Carter Beauford, Bootsy Collins and jazz bassist Christian McBride, Wooten is bringing an incredible ensemble with him to the Mauldin Cultural Center this Friday.

Accompanying Wooten on sax will be Bob Franceschini, who’s worked with Paul Simon and Tito Puente, among many oth-

ers. Then there’s drummer Dennis Chambers, who’s played with George Clinton’s Parliament-Funkadelic collective, John Scofield and Santana. And interestingly enough, standing alongside Wooten on an additional bass guitar will be Anthony Wellington.

“It frees me up a lot, having an extra bassist, a good supportive bassist,” Wooten says.

“I can play the melodies and things that I play on my records, because just about all of the times on my records, I play a melody and then I still record the bass parts underneath.

So having Anthony with me allows me not to lose the bottom end when I play bass on it.”

And then there’s Chambers, with whom Wooten says he has a special bond. “Both

of us grew up in the funk and R&B era, with Parliament and James Brown. So what we do is rooted in funk music; there’s a solid funky groove to it. And that’s one of the things that allows us to relate together in music, and why we get along no matter what other style we’re playing, is that we both go back to the same era.”

“But,” Wooten is quick to add, “to be a bass player and play with Dennis, you have to know what you’re doing. You have to stay on your toes at all times because he’s such a good drummer that he can flip the beat upside down, and before you know it, you’re lost. You thought you knew where everything was, and all of a sudden you’re just out in the wilderness. So you’ve got to stay on your toes.

And it’s fun for me. I love that challenge; I love having to listen that closely.”

Given that Wooten can pull from jazz, funk and all sorts of different styles from his 15-album discography (that’s apart from his ensemble work with Bela Fleck & The Flecktones), it’s reasonable to ask what kind of a set he’ll be playing on Friday. And the answer is, quite simply, any kind he and his band want to.

“One of the first things I did with these musicians was ask them what they wanted to play,” Wooten says. “I wanted them to bring their interests to the table. So there will be quite a bit of new music that people haven’t

heard before. And of course there will be a lot of improvisation.”

Then again, Wooten’s longtime fans probably know not to expect anything predictable. Heck, he even unexpectedly became an acclaimed author a few years back when he wrote a fictional book that incorporated the musical techniques he’d been teaching for years at his annual summer music camps.

“I do think that any audience that’s followed me for years, they know that every time I come around, it’s going to be something different,” he says. “Different music they’ve never seen or heard before, and in most cases different musicians. It’s rare that I ever come back to the same area with the same outfit. Hopefully people like that. I know that I do.”

CULTURE Sound Bites “LOOSEN THE BIBLE BELT,” FEATURING KRISTEN BECKER, JAY BAKKER, SARAHROSE MARIE, DWAYNE DUKE AND THE HEAVENLY CHILLBILLIES Independent Public Ale House, 110 Poinsett Highway, Greenville Saturday, May 14, 9 p.m., $12 Adv/$15 Door What do you get when you put a lesbian comedian and a preacher following in his father’s footsteps together?

A “variety hour” show that features two standups, a man of faith preaching tolerance, a rockabilly band and a ukulele-strumming songstress, all in service of the idea of acceptance. Kristen Becker, the aforementioned lesbian comedian, reached out to Jay Bakker, son of Jim and Tammy Faye, with an idea about joining forces. “In 2006 I saw that Jay was voicing his support for gay marriage. I saw in him a guy who is of Christian faith and believes that Jesus loves you exactly as you are, and I thought that maybe if we could get together, then we could show other people how to do it. The idea is that it’s a two-way street; as much as Christians may have some negative view about LGBT people, LGBT people have some of those same views about religious people. It seemed like a really great way to open up a conversation and literally practice what we’re preaching.”

MORGAN OF THE PINES W/ JOHN THE REVELATOR & HUNGER ANTHEM Radio Room, 2845 N. Pleasantburg Drive, Greenville Friday, May 13, 9 p.m., $5 The music that Rex Akins creates for his band, Morgan of the Pines, is dark, atmospheric and largely acoustic, combining the more sinister elements of Appalachian folk and blues. Which is why hearing about his first musical influence is a bit surprising. “The first band that started it for me was Nine Inch Nails,” he says. “It was very atmospheric, very evocative, kind of like a journey. After that there was this exponential upward curve of listening to other bands. But I also like that old, soulful, earthy blues music that sounds like it was recorded in a tin can. So I guess when I sit down to write music, it becomes a synthesis of those two different worlds.”

And for Akins, creating an atmosphere isn’t just about the music. “The lyrics need to induce mood, even if you’re just looking on a piece of paper,” he says. “They need to be good enough to stand alone.”

Must-See Movies By Eric Rogers

Experiments in suspense

Alfred Hitchcock was not afraid of novel approaches to filmmaking

Many consider Memorial Day weekend the official start to beach reading season. Here are some suggestions to take with you for those long, languid days in the sun. Fiction Addiction will be hosting these authors for events at the store as well, so stop by and say hello on your way to the shore.

Alfred Hitchcock directed 53 feature films and is often referred to as the Master of Suspense, but he was also the master of experimentation. These two films are good examples of his experiments.

“LIFEBOAT” Hitchcock made several films with a limited setting. This one was the most restrictive, because the entire film takes place in a lifeboat. Despite this limitation, it is a compelling film about how the survivors of a sunken ship battle one another in the confined space.

In Hitchcock’s early days, he often appeared as an extra in his films simply because he didn’t have a large enough budget to hire more actors. By the time he released this film in 1944, audiences had come to expect his cameo. Perhaps his biggest challenge in this film was figuring out how to make that happen. He achieved it by appearing in a weight loss ad featured in a newspaper that one of the characters is reading.

“ROPE” Four years later, Hitchcock made this film loosely based on the Leopold-Loeb murder case. Leopold and Loeb were two wealthy college students who murdered a classmate just for the thrill of it in 1924. They believed themselves to be examples of Nietzsche’s “Übermenschen,” or “Supermen,” which meant that laws and morals did not apply to them. This is discussed in the movie; however, it’s one of the few references that are accurate to the real life story. Hitchcock used the true story as a

Prepare for beach reading season

framework but took some liberties with it.

The experimentation in this film comes in the way it was edited. The majority of the movie appears to be one long shot without any cuts, so the film takes place in real time. At that time, it was impossible to actually shoot a whole movie in one take, because the film in the camera would run out about every nine minutes. During the shot the crew would move the camera to a black area in the scene, such as someone’s sport coat. They would then stop the camera, reload it, and then start the next take on something else black to make the edit point seamless and appear as an unbroken shot.

Hitchcock coined the term “MacGuffin” to refer to an object in a film that creates conflict for the characters (like a treasure map or a valuable jewel). The MacGuffin in this film is a rope. In real life, Leopold and Loeb bludgeoned their victim with a chisel, but Hitchcock decided to use a rope as the murder weapon since it made a good metaphor for a movie that contained one continuous shot.

Eric Rogers has been teaching filmmaking at The Greenville Fine Arts Center since 1994.

Big screens in the The Hip Abduction takes the great outdoors groove in a new direction CAROLINE HAFER | STAFF

chafer@communityjournals.com

The difference between the Florida septet The Hip Abduction’s 2013 album and their new one, “Gold Under the Glow,” is startling. The 2013 self-titled album is reggae to the core. There are a few moments where the band stretches its groove out into jam-band territory, but for the most part, the band sticks to laid-bank Jamaican rhythms.

Which is what makes “Gold Under the Glow” such a surprise. The backbeats are more influenced by African and Caribbean styles, with polyrhythmic percussion bubbling up throughout the songs. And the mostly organic sound has been replaced by a new electronic sheen, with synthesized sounds washing over just about every song. It’s still as danceable – and as soulful – as their last record, but it’s coming from an entirely different set of influences.

“I don’t think we go into an album thinking, ‘From this point moving forward, we’re going to be a little more electronic, or we’re going to totally change the next album,’” says The Hip Abduction’s singer, songwriter and guitarist, David New. “I think it’s more of, ‘You are what you eat.’ I’d been listening to a lot of West African music and electronic music like Daft Punk, so that’s what led to the direction of this record.”

New says that despite the change in direction, he feels that the basic thrust of the songs on “Gold Under the Glow” is just the same as on the previous two albums (their debut was 2011’s “One Less Sound”). “Even though the songs are a little more electronic-infused, I still think it takes people to the same place,” he says.

“It’s still got that island or more tropical feel, whatever the fans call it. The songs changed, but I don’t think it’s been anything too drastic.

In fact, the fans love it; it’s done a lot better than the last one.”

To be fair, though, the band’s fans probably had an inkling about what was coming, simply because the album’s songs were a part of the band’s live show for months before they were recorded. “I always try to play a song for a couple months at least before we record it,” New says. “There are songs on the new album that we played for six or nine months before we tracked them. I always try to see how the fans

react and make sure it grooves with the rest of the music. It’s nice to do that before recording them.”

The band, which will play Gottrocks in Greenville this Friday, worked with producer Dabney Morris for the first time on “Gold Under the Glow,” and New says that he was thrilled with the experience. “Dabney was awesome,” he says. “In the past we’d go in, and the producer wouldn’t have heard our music beforehand.

We’d play it live in the studio and use those recordings and go from there. Dabney was involved five or six months before we even went into the studio. He really helped to shape the sound. It was nice to work with someone who was involved from the very beginning. When we were putting down demos, he was already suggesting keyboard sounds. He’s really into old synths and analog sounds. It was really cool experimenting with sounds, not just recreating something that came out of a box. It was really nice to have someone who was that involved.”

The series will feature a Fourth of Julythemed concert featuring the Lakeside Concert Band and the Greenville Chorale.

One of the weekly concerts will feature a bluegrass band.

Life in the Slow Lane with Joan Herlong

A course in crash etiquette When you marry off three daughters in seven years, you become an expert in things you’d rather not be.

When they detoured from the exit to the restroom, they found a line of well-hydrated women waiting in line, and me, right behind them.

Did you know that having a (costly) “tossing bouquet” is de rigueur in all the “best” weddings?

The well-heeled bride now “preserves” the bouquet she held for maybe an hour.

This is where their crashing etiquette fell apart.

My bouquet has been preserved for nigh on 34 years now, in a landfill. It might be nestled beside my wedding gown, because my mother sold it in a garage sale (for way less than what a tossing bouquet costs now, not that I’m bitter).

Did you know that making extra nice to your local postal clerk makes zero percent difference? He is as nice and as helpful as he can be, but flirting, flowers and dinner will not guarantee invite delivery.

I won’t bore you with details of lost and returned invitations. I’m saving that for the useful collection I plan to publish. Here’s a sampling:

Short Stories for Insomniacs: “My Dog’s Dreams,” an anthology of my dog’s recurrent dreams, and interpretations thereof, as intuited by Carl Simkins, MENSA member.

“Squirrels: My Victorious 34-Day Battle to Win Back My Attic” as told by Fred Finkle, retired civil engineer. (Unabridged audio version also available. Warning: Do not listen while operating heavy machinery.)

“My Wife’s Day,” as related by any given husband who nods and grunts “mmm-hmmm” in all the wrong places.

But I digress.

Weddings have also given us an eagle eye for identifying crashers.

The first wedding only attracted one, a young man who claimed to be a distant cousin of the groom. I have no idea how Venetia (wedding coordinator par excellence) handled it, because she wisely spared us the details until later.

At this last wedding, we had security to prevent crashers, who are drawn to outdoor venues like moths to an open bar. The profile of would-be crashers is usually a scrum of male millennials, camouflaged in coat and tie. Our security spotted and prevented a gang wearing those colors from penetrating the wedding membrane. Unfortunately, no Tasers were used.

We had no security at the “after party,” we just had me, and I spotted two millennial female crashers.

It’s always nice to be nice, so I informed them, nicely, that it was time to leave. At first, the girls shared a sheepish “Oh… gosh” look, and agreed to leave.

Only they didn’t.

Thank you to our sponsors

I noted that the exit was in the opposite direction, but these two doubled down.

PLATINUM

“We need to use the bathroom!” one of them mooed.

Mind you, there was a public restroom on another floor, and ample shrubbery outside.

I took their (MY) drinks from their hands, so they could exit safely.

“I cannot believe you’re doing this to us. You’re so rude!” the accomplice bellowed.

SILVER

Before the door closed, one of them hissed, “You’re trash!”

These girls needed a course in crash etiquette, and the crashers at our second wedding could certainly teach it. I’m not one to use names, but their initials are N.E.I.L. and R.O.S.S. N & R were intrepid wedding crashers, boldly going where no crashers had gone before.

When I spotted them at the first bar after the wedding, I had no idea they were crashers.

In my defense, they were a couple of very married-looking guys in their 30s, wearing golf garb that would have made Mr. Rogers proud.

Before they could respond to “Fancy-meetingyou-here,” my niece outed them: “They’re crashers! They boozed it up at the wedding, and then they got on the bus and wouldn’t get off! They claim they know you….”

I was initially disappointed in them (well, not so much R.O.S.S., because I know his parents.

He just wasn’t raised right, so it’s hard to blame him). But this is where these crashers showed true etiquette.

They didn’t double down; they sheepishly admitted that they in fact enjoyed several beverages at our wedding bar. Then they bought a round for everyone, and joined in our continued revelry.

They’re crashers anyone would welcome.

I hear their transportation home that cold night involved a Good Samaritan pizza driver.

The final chapter in their wedding crasher etiquette handbook dictated that their wives and toddlers lovingly let them all sleep in till 6:30 a.m.

Cheers to that. I think we were worth it.
