OPINION

Views from your community

Creating a world-class park on Greenville’s west side for everyone

By Knox White Having long discussed the idea during more than a decade of study and planning, Greenville is taking the first steps in turning the vision of a 60-acre west-side park into reality — to transform and in some ways restore a largely unseen and often forgotten part of our community’s history. The park will be named Unity Park.

We are staking out this ground for generations to come as a park for everyone. It’s designed to accomplish four main goals: manage growth by balancing it with green space, knit together neighborhoods, address issues of affordable housing, and create a destination to attract visitors from across the region and beyond.

Unity Park is a recognition that Greenville’s strength derives from its diversity of cultures and backgrounds that have combined to build one of the nation’s most enviable communities. Unity Park is a forward-looking acknowledgment that our achievements ahead will be defined and measured by our ability to unite as one community behind a shared vision, having learned the lessons of our history.

The $40 million park will be funded through a public-private partnership. The city of Greenville has pledged $20 million, largely from hospitality tax funding, and has set a goal to raise another $20 million in private funding. The Community Foundation of Greenville has already contributed $100,000, and Verizon has contributed $25,000.

The city has released the latest design renderings from MKSK Landscape Architecture of Columbus, Ohio, that showcase some of the park’s key features, including a signature 120-foot observation tower, a gathering hall that can host outdoor concerts, a pedestrian bridge, a playground, a water “sprayground,” athletic fields, and green space.

Most significantly, the park includes restoration of the wetlands and a section of the Reedy River. The park is the natural next step for reclaiming the Reedy through an interconnected series of parks beginning with Cleveland Park, extending through Falls Park downtown, and crossing Academy Street into West Greenville with Unity Park.

A park on this site was first envisioned in a 1907 planning document entitled “Beautifying and Improving Greenville, South Carolina” by the noted Boston landscape architects Kelsey & Gould. The May 2002 Reedy River Master Plan compiled

by Clemson University for the city and county also called for a park on this land, as well as a hiking path that would become the Swamp Rabbit Trail.

Our Greenville wins awards. Urban planners visit from other cities to see for themselves how we transformed a typical mill town into a force to be reckoned with. We did so by staying true to a long-range progressive vision, by maintaining an enduring respect for conservation and sustainability, and by recognizing our shared history and heritage.

Unity Park represents each of these in ways that pay homage to the historic legacy of three of downtown’s proudest neighborhoods — Southernside, West Greenville, and Hampton-Pinckney — and the people who brought us to where we are today.

Toward that end, areas of the park will be named Mayberry Field and Meadowbrook Green in honor of the rich history of Mayberry and Meadowbrook parks. Unity Park will afford many more opportunities to recognize Greenville’s roots and tell our story.

To be constructed in phases over time, the park will stretch from the A.J. Whittenberg Elementary School of Engineering on the southeastern corner to the railroad trestle on the northwest. When completed, the park will be about twice the size of Falls Park and about half the size of Cleveland Park.

A biology professor at Furman University is on a mission to save one of America’s most iconic species

ON THE TRAIL OF NEW MEXICO’S MOUNTAIN LIONS

WORDS BY ANDREW MOORE | PHOTOS BY WILL CROOKS Dr. Travis Perry

In the equipment room of his laboratory at Furman University’s Townes Science Center, Dr. Travis Perry rummages through a small closet and removes a collar that’s outfitted with a GPS satellite. It’s just one of the many tools the associate biology professor uses to track mountain lions, or cougars.

Perry is the founder and lead researcher for the Furman Cougar Project, a program that aims to “produce research that can be used for the responsible management and conservation of cougars” in New Mexico.

Each summer, from May to August, Perry and a group of undergraduate students travel to Sierra County, N.M., to photograph, track, and study the big cat species. “The primary objective of our research program is to develop

cost-effective population estimate techniques and provide local population estimates,” Perry said.

The world’s fourth-largest cat, the mountain lion, has a territory that’s more extensive than any other mammal in the Americas. But the cats, which are also known as pumas and panthers, were almost completely wiped out of eastern and Midwestern states due to habitat loss and hunting, according to Perry.

Today, it’s thought that about 30,000 mountain lions exist in the western United States, and about 100 panthers in Florida. “Except for a very small population in Florida, there are no known groups in the Southeast or east of the Mississippi in all truthfulness,” Perry told the Greenville Journal last year.

New Mexico, on the other hand, is home to at least 3,000 mountain lions, according to a report from the state Department of Game and Fish. That estimate, however, along with other population estimates across the western U.S., are often unreliable, based largely on anecdotal evidence instead of empirical data, according to Perry.

Perry said wildlife agencies and scientists often struggle to calculate accurate population estimates because mountain lions are “extraordinarily stealthy and secretive” and live in rugged habitats. “You won’t see a cougar unless it wants to be seen,” he says.

He added that understanding the size of the state’s mountain lion population is critical for the New Mexico

COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM Department of Game and Fish (NMDGF) and other agencies to properly conserve the species and prevent it from being over-hunted and exploited.

“Population size determines whether or not a species requires legal protection, and how much protection. If it is a game species, population size determines annual quotas, hunt unit areas, seasons, and the sex and age of individuals that can be harvested,” he said.

Mountain lions are classified as a big-game species in New Mexico, according to Perry.

In 1971, the state’s mountain lions became a “protected” species, under the management authority of the NMDGF. The department initiated a four-month regulated hunting season in the southwest corner of the state that same year. It has since expanded the length of the hunting season, the size of the legal hunt areas, and the hunting harvest limits.

“Changes to the management of cougars by the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish have been quite controversial over the last decade,” Perry said. As of 2016, for instance, hunters can legally trap mountain lions on private lands and about 9 million acres of public trust lands in New Mexico without a permit.

Conservation groups across the country argue that trophy hunting not only reduces the size of mountain lion populations but also disrupts their social structure and leads to a lack of genetic diversity. A 2003 study, for instance, found that killing male mountain lions causes young male lions to look for territory, which can result in the killing of female lions and their young, ultimately reducing population growth.

The Humane Society of America claims that “trophy hunting accounts for more than 80 percent of all humancaused lion mortality annually in New Mexico.”

Between 2005 and 2014, trophy hunters killed 1,782 mountain lions, according to data from the NMDGF. In the 2016 hunting season, the last year data is available, trophy hunters killed 243 mountain lions.

The Humane Society and Animal Protection of New Mexico, a nonprofit, have since filed a federal lawsuit against New Mexico state game commissioners and the director of the NMDGF, claiming that the department’s decision to open a cougar trapping season on public lands jeopardizes endangered species, including Mexican wolves, as well as nursing female lions and their spotted kittens.

Perry said, “The legal directives for the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish require that they manage all game species in such a way as to maintain viable populations indefinitely.”

He did, however, acknowledge that the state’s mountain lion population could decline if it were to be mismanaged by wildlife agencies and over-harvested by hunters, and said his team of researchers is working to address the mountain lion population estimates used by the NMDGF to determine harvest levels.

“Our effectiveness in this endeavor depends absolutely on the ability of the state agency, hunters, ranchers, anti-hunters, animal rights advocates, and environmental groups to trust our objectivity as practicing scientists,” Perry said.

Perry added that scientists can accurately measure the density of cougar populations in a small, local area by capturing and marking every individual in a population. That method, however, is “extremely expensive in time and money.”

That’s why Perry and his current graduate student, Tricia Rossettie, a Furman alumna, are developing and testing a hair trap that’s capable of passively collecting genetic samples from the feet of free roaming mountain lions.

“When the cougar steps in it, it closes firmly enough on the foot and ankle to extract hair when the cat easily re-

Rossettie plans to complete the technique this fall and share it with the NMDGF, which can then use it “to more accurately estimate cougar population size for less money in the future and effect better conservation measures based on those population estimates,” according to Perry.

Meanwhile, Perry and a group of undergraduate students will traverse the mountainous terrain of southern New Mexico this summer to study habitat fragmentation and other ecological factors impacting the state’s mountain lion population.

Students participating in the project learn everything from orienteering to backpacking to statistical analysis, according to Perry. They must also work together to locate, capture, sedate, and outfit mountain lions with GPS collars.

“A primary objective is to engage Furman undergraduates in ecology, conservation, and the scientific process in a meaningful and unforgettable way,” Perry said.

Before capturing and collaring a mountain lion, the student researchers must establish a network of trail cameras across more than 450,000 acres in order to figure out exactly where the big cats travel and how often, according to Perry.

After the team has identified the location of a mountain lion, they capture it with either hounds, large box traps, or foot snares that loop around the paw when triggered. The researchers then shoot the lion with a tranquilizer dart.

Perry noted that all capture methods used by the research team have been approved by the American Veterinary Medical Association, the American Society of Mammologists, Furman University’s Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, the NMDGF, and the university’s supervisory veterinarian.

“We are gravely serious about the humane treatment of our study animals,” he said.

Once the mountain lion is immobilized, the researchers quickly get to work weighing, measuring, determining its age and sex, and attaching the GPS collar. After the collar has been attached, the researchers reanimate the mountain lion and observe it for a couple of minutes to ensure it doesn’t suffer any ill effects from the tranquilizer.

Location data is then sent from the collar every two hours over a 12-hour period, which allows the researchers to track the whereabouts and hunting patterns of the mountain lion. A drop-off mechanism releases the collar from around the mountain lion’s neck after a year, so it can be retrieved by the researchers, according to Perry.

Researchers with the Furman Cougar Project have captured about 33 mountain lions since 2008, according to Perry. The corresponding data have been used to study a number of ecological threats, including habitat fragmentation.

Human population growth and development throughout the western U.S. have pushed mountain lions into landscapes with limited prey sources and travel corridors, causing increased conflicts with humans, demographic isolation, and inbreeding.

Roadways, for instance, are an increasing threat to mountain lions across New Mexico, Perry said. “Habitat fragmentation in the west is probably most affected by interstate highways. … Our research program does look at when and how often cougars cross interstates and how this might affect cougar populations,” he said.

In New Mexico alone, more than 50 cougars were killed in vehicle collisions between 2012 and 2016, according to data from the NMDGF. That includes a male mountain lion captured and collared by Perry’s research team at Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque in 2014.

The 165-pound mountain lion, which was called KM1, was eventually killed by a vehicle on Interstate 40 just east of Albuquerque in the pass between the Sandia and Manzano mountains, according to Perry. “KM1’s untimely death on I-40 certainly supports the hypothesis that interstates create barriers to cougar movement,” he said.

Habitat fragmentation has also increased human encounters with mountain lions across the western U.S., leading landowners and wildlife agencies to kill the big cats to protect domestic livestock or wild ungulates (mule deer, desert bighorn sheep, etc.) from predation and to enforce human safety, according to Perry.

Perry and his research team, however, have found that mountain lions in southwestern New Mexico live close to humans with much less conflict than might be feared.

“This knowledge, ideally, would lead to a greater tolerance of these big cats, especially where human development has pushed into their habitat,” Perry said.

He added mountain lion attacks are rare and generally can be avoided if people take the proper precautions, such

In addition to habitat fragmentation, Perry and his students are also studying the diets of mountain lions to determine their impact on ecosystem ecology, including how their impact on deer and elk population size and distribution affects the vegetation and hydrology throughout southwestern New Mexico.

“The presence of a large predator like the mountain lion changes the entire landscape by altering vegetation and changing the community in which other animals live. ...

And so, one of the ways mountain lions might be having a really big impact on the landscape is by eating smaller predators like coyotes and bobcats that eat smaller mammals like rabbits and rodents,” Perry told Furman University’s news service in 2015.

Perry said mountain lions provide numerous benefits to other wildlife either directly or indirectly. The big cats, for instance, control deer and elk populations, thus preventing overgrazing. A 2009 study conducted by Oregon State University researchers found that mountain lions in Utah’s Zion National Park prevented deer populations from overgrazing fragile riparian systems, leading to more wildflowers, butterflies, cottonwoods, amphibians, cattails, lizards, and narrower stream channels.

Mountain lions can also help maintain the health and viability of deer, elk, and desert bighorn sheep populations by preying on sick individuals. For example, a 2017 study conducted by researchers at Colorado State University found that mountain lions at Rocky Mountain National

Mountain lions, or cougars, are the fourth largest cat species in the world.

Park preyed on mule deer infected with chronic wasting disease, a contagious neurological disease with no cure.

An eight-year study conducted by Perry and his students also found that some mountain lions in southwestern New Mexico prefer older age classes when preying on mule

deer, which results in a smaller effect on mule deer population growth.

Additionally, the presence of mountain lions can reduce human injuries and deaths caused by vehicle collisions with deer. Recent research has shown that, in South Da-

Location data is sent from the GPS collar every two hours over a 12-hour period, which allows the researchers to track the whereabouts and hunting patterns of the mountain lion.

A drop-off mechanism releases the collar from around the mountain lion’s neck after a year, so it can be retrieved by the researchers.

kota, mountain lions reduced vehicle collisions with deer by 9 percent between 2008 and 2012, preventing an estimated 158 collisions and saving residents about $1.1 million annually in counties with established mountain lion populations.

Perry, who graduated with a bachelor’s degree in biology from Furman in 1992 and later earned a doctorate degree in ecology at the University of New Mexico, started studying mountain lions in 2006, when he decided to take a yearlong academic sabbatical and help a private conservation company to monitor mountain lion predation on desert bighorn sheep in the moun-

tains of southern and central New Mexico.

“From this experience, I gained a practical understanding of the difficulties of cougar management and conservation,” Perry said.

New Mexico’s desert bighorn sheep were nearly wiped out during the 1900s because of habitat loss, mountain lion predation, and diseases introduced by domestic sheep grazing on public lands, according to Perry.

The state, however, placed the sheep on its endangered species list in 1980 and launched a restoration program in which captive sheep were released into a number of mountain ranges throughout southern and central New Mexico.

In 1999, after biologists determined that mountain lion predation was the primary cause of desert bighorn sheep mortality, the New Mexico State Game Commission authorized the NMDGF to preemptively kill up to 34 mountain lions each year in five mountain ranges, including Fra Cristobal.

During his sabbatical, however, Perry set out to develop a nonlethal approach to resolve mountain lion predation on desert bighorn sheep. “Specifically, we wanted to see if tiger or jaguar urine, used as artificial scent marks, would cause cougar to shift their home ranges away from areas of conflict — like desert bighorn sheep ranges,” he said.

Perry ultimately failed to collar enough mountain lions to complete the study, but he returned to Furman in 2007 with another goal in mind.

“I wanted to create a more focused, long-term research program that would provide a unique research experience for undergraduates while contributing in a meaningful way to a pressing conservation issue,” he said. “With this in mind and given my familiarity with New Mexico geography, natural history, and professional contacts, I decided to focus on cougars in New Mexico.”

In 2008, Perry launched the Furman Cougar Project and began recruiting students from the university’s biology department. More than 30 undergraduates have participated in the program since then. Four students — Chambers English, Brandon Holsten, Elena Smart, and Rebecca Bolich — will participate this summer.

As for the future, Perry plans to continue recruiting students and raising funds for the Furman Cougar Project. The program is currently funded by a combination of Perry’s own personal finances, grants, donations, and the Furman Advantage Research Fellowship program, which provides students with summer stipends.

TRAFFIC SHIFT AHEAD On heels of McPherson controversy, changes coming to Greenville’s traffic-calming process WORDS BY CINDY LANDRUM On the heels of a contentious battle over whether a barricade that turned one block of McPherson Lane into a one-way street should be made permanent, the City of Greenville is changing its traffic-calming process.

The Greenville City Council voted on Monday night to keep the barricade that prevents motorists from using McPherson, a small residential street, to escape from or avoid the traffic gridlock on Augusta Street.

Councilwoman Amy Ryberg Doyle said traffic is increasing throughout the city and it’s time to take another look at a process that has been in place since 1999. Scores of other neighborhoods have undergone the traffic-calming efforts, but none has been as controversial as this one.

“We’ll just try to do better the next time,” she said.

The McPherson barricade has been in place for a year, prior to the ongoing renovation of the strip shopping center on Augusta Street that houses Verizon and Moe’s Southwest Grill.

Residents of McPherson and four other nearby streets — McPherson, Warner Street, McDaniel Court, Camille Avenue, and Cothran Street — said they were promised the barricade as an answer to their concerns over increased traffic because of the redeveloped shopping center. McPherson residents said they did not contest the rezoning necessary for the shopping center’s redevelopment because they thought the one-way was permanent.

But residents of other streets in the neighborhood objected to the one-way, saying they weren’t notified the barricade would be erected and their streets were being adversely affected by increased traffic.

The city later called the barricade temporary and required the neighborhood to go through its traffic-calming process that allows residents to vote on items such as speed humps, traffic circles, landscape medians, curb extensions, and roundabouts.

The residents of McPherson, Warner, McDaniel Court, Camille, and Cothran voted for the installation of three speed humps in addition to making the one-way permanent. Residents of the other streets said the boundaries of the traffic-calming voting district were not broad enough and if they would have had a vote, the one-way would have failed.

Before their vote to make the barricade permanent, several council members, including the area’s representative on Council, Wil Brasington, said it was important to stand by the traffic-calming process, no matter if they personally agreed with the one-way or not.

“As flawed as this process might have been, I think as a Council we need to respect the process,” Councilman Russell Stall said.

Doyle, who chairs the Council’s Planning and Neighborhood Committee, said the city’s “traffic calming 2.0” will better define how the study area will be determined, likely with the city Planning Commission having input. It will also address how members of traffic calming study committees are chosen, she said.

The city will also likely eliminate one-ways from the list of traffic calming methods on which neighborhood can vote, Doyle said.

“We’re hearing from neighborhoods all across the city about traffic. But we need to look at neighborhoods as part of a larger system,” she said.

Traffic volumes across the city are increasing. Doyle said average daily traffic counts have increased 30 percent on Church Street and between 8 percent and 10 percent in some neighborhoods. But while traffic counts are up, collision rates are down, Doyle said.

The city is also looking at traffic signal improvements, road design and striping, and intersection improvements as ways to ease traffic congestion and concerns, she said.

COUNTY COUNCIL VOTE GIVES $1 BILLION COUNTY SQUARE REDEVELOPMENT GO-AHEAD WORDS BY CINDY LANDRUM

Greenville County Council members on Tuesday, May 15, gave final approval to a deal with Atlanta’s RocaPoint Partners to redevelop County Square.

The Greenville Journal was the first to report that Greenville County chose developers RocaPoint Partners/The Georgetown Company, architects Foster + Partners and Wakefield Beasley & Associates, and commercial real estate firm KDS Commercial Properties for a billion-dollar transformation of County Square into a new mixed-use development that includes a new 250,000-square-foot county office building.

The final vote was unanimous with no discussion. A public hearing held before the vote only had one speaker — pastor Clarence Thornton, who said poor people and the middle class would be left out and it could contribute to gentrification, which is already a problem near downtown.

County officials have said it will take between seven and 10 years to build out the redevelopment, which they said would generate an additional $22.5 million in property tax revenue for the county and the City of Greenville.

Since the Journal’s original story, additional details about the redevelopment and its financing were released: • The new county office building will occupy 4 acres. Parks and open space will take up 3.74 acres. New roads will cover 10.16 acres. That leaves 22.7 acres of buildable land.

• The proposal calls for 1,125 units of multifamily housing, 450,000 square feet of retail space, 650,000 square feet of office space, and 350 hotel rooms. That mix may change depending on market demand.

• The development’s maximum building height is 10 stories.

• Family Court would have to relocate during the first phase of the project to allow construction of the new county office and parking.

• The new planned development zoning the county will seek calls for a floor area ratio of up to 3.5. The floor area ratio is the ratio of a building’s gross floor area to the size of the piece of land on which it is built.

• The county is considering leasing the 1,000-space parking facility, so the space is taxable. If the county owns the parking facility, the land does not generate property taxes.

• A portion of President Street will be abandoned, and University Ridge will be relocated and connected to an upgraded Thruston Street.

The Council’s approval directs county representatives to negotiate the terms of the deal and set up a University Ridge Public Facilities Corporation to “accept, buy, sell, own, hold, lease, develop, operate, mortgage, insure, pledge, assign, transfer, or otherwise receive or dispose of real and personal property in conjunction with the redevelopment.”

The county will transfer property to the PFC, which is managed by the chairman and finance committee chairman of Greenville County Council and the county administrator, which will then release that property as deals are made.

This isn’t the first time the county has used a public facilities corporation to facilitate capital projects. PFCs, which are controlled by the county, were used for the Greenville County Detention Center, the courthouse, and the Matrix Business Park, which is now called Augusta Grove. One was used to help finance the University Center as well.

Currently, County Square is appraised at $32 million, County Administrator Joe Kernell said. Instead of selling, the county decided to partner with a developer who could drive up the value of the property, he said, essentially paying for the county’s facility.

The County Square property will be a part of a multicounty industrial park, which is a tool often used for economic development projects, and the county will collect all of the property tax revenue generated from the development for up to 20 years to pay for infrastructure there, such as grading; water, sewer, and stormwater lines; new roads and sidewalks; park space and trails; and curbing and lighting. The city and school district will receive their share of property taxes after the infrastructure is paid for.

“Nobody is losing anything, because right now, the property generates no tax revenue,” Kernell said.

Under the agreement, from now until 2021, the county would pay for predevelopment and construction costs of the county office building, estimated to be between $50 million and $70 million.

The county would pay 65 percent of land predevelopment costs for items such as zoning, design, permits, marketing, presales, and selection of users. The developers would pay the remaining 35 percent. Land predevelopment costs are estimated to be between $5 million and $6 million.

RocaPoint would fully fund commercial predevelopment such as design, preleasing, and marketing, estimated to be between $5 million and $6 million.

From 2020 to 2026, the county and developer have a revenue target of $95 million to $105 million from land development and sales. The county will get the first $40 million.

After that, the county’s share decreases for each $20 million increment. Any revenue over $100 million is split 50-50.

The agreement calls for RocaPoint to invest at least $200 million of its own money. The developer could potentially make $35 million from the deal.

Kernell said if the county sold the land today for $30 million and built a new county office building and paid to relocate the departments being moved off the property, it would have to issue bonds that would cost $3 million per year for 20 years.

Under the agreement with RocaPoint, if no land were sold at all, the new county office building and relocation would carry an annual debt service of $5 million for 20 years. If land sales totaled $50 million, annual debt service would be nearly $1.47 million. If land sales total $70 million, it would cover the cost of the new building.

Taxes would not be raised to pay for the building, county officials said.

After County Council approves the deal, the next step would be to create the actual master plan for the development. The next step would be to get the property rezoned to a new planned development district. County Square is not in the central business district, so the development won’t have to get approval from the city’s Design Review Board.

It will take up to 18 months before construction of the new county building begins.

Yeah... that’s what our members said too.

BJU to move Museum & Gallery off campus Bob Jones University plans to move its Museum & Gallery off campus.

The museum, which is widely recognized as one of the finest collections of religious art in the Southeast and perhaps the nation, has been closed since February 2017 after the university determined the exterior and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system of the building that houses it needed significant work.

Since the closure was announced, the community urged M&G to consider relocating the museum to provide broader access, said Randy Page, BJU chief of staff. The M&G voted to begin a $20 million capital campaign for the new museum. At its May meeting, BJU trustees voted to authorize the quiet phase of a capital campaign to repurpose the campus M&G building and the school’s Mack Library.

The current M&G building, which was constructed in 1947 as the school’s dining commons, and the school’s Mack Library will be repurposed, Page said. The M&G building was refurbished in 1965 for use as a museum for expanding the Old Master collection. Last year, it was determined the building required work to provide better care of the collection of centuries-old paintings, furniture, art, and antiquities. Water had penetrated its walls and damaged some of the interior walls. None of the paintings were damaged.

It is not yet known where the museum will locate off campus or when an off-campus facility would open, Page said.

Since the museum’s closure, some of its paintings have been loaned out to museums, corporation headquarters, and private homes of art enthusiasts. Selected portions of the collection are on display in campus locations for public view and tours, and an exhibition sampling some of the Old Masters will open at the Greenville County Museum of Art in mid-June.

Bob Jones University’s Museum & Gallery’s 16th Century gallery

M&G has one of the largest collections of European Old Master paintings in America.

While it is internationally known for Baroque art, the collection includes furniture, antiquities, Russian icons, textiles, and objects of art. The collection represents 45 centuries. — ­ Cindy Landrum

Greenville Women Giving awards $601K in grants SARA PEARCE | STAFF

spearce@communityjournals.com

Greenville Women Giving announced their 2018 grant recipients on May 15.

They awarded $601,745 to eight local organizations.

Funding for these grants is made possible through membership donations and other donor-directed contributions through the Community Foundation of Greenville.

This year's grantees were FAVOR Greenville ($100,000), Gateway House ($100,000), Jasmine Road ($100,000), Girl Scouts of South Carolina Mountains to Midlands ($88,540), the Warehouse Theatre ($75,259), Homes of Hope ($50,000), Loaves & Fishes ($50,000), and Mill Community Ministries ($37,976).

The grant process is extensive. Each organization applies for a specific amount of money, and that number is not adjusted. “Ultimately, the choices are made by the entire membership," says Emelia Stephenson, who has been a member since the organization's first year and is now one of the four co-chairs that make up the leadership team.

There is a committee that narrows down the applications to a manageable amount, and then the entire membership, which sits around 550, is given a ballot to vote on. “Ultimately, it [the chosen grantees] is what resounded with the membership,” Stephenson says.

One of the grantees, FAVOR Greenville, will put its awarded funds toward a new program, Nicholtown Outreach Project.

FAVOR, which stands for Faces and Voices of Recovery, works to create a response to the suffering caused by addiction in our community.

"Nicholtown is an ignored and neglected area in terms of recovery support services," says FAVOR CEO and COO Rich Jones. The funds "will hire a full-time staff to get into that area," he adds. FAVOR believes in grass-roots support for communities that can only be accomplished from the inside out.

"We are exceedingly appreciative of this grant," Jones says. "It's only through GWG, that are willing to take a chance on a project like this, that we are able to change anything. There's no dedicated funding for this type of work; it's too innovative. So it takes an organization that's

visionary like GWG to be able to put us on the map."

Stephenson notes that GWG has helped fund FAVOR in the past. “It was a nobrainer to take this amazing program to the people," she says.

Greenville Women Giving follows each grant awarded until completion to ensure that the monies are used properly and that the organization has the support system they need to accomplish their goals.

"We have a committee that is in charge of following all grants to completion, and we require a report from all of our grantees, and that organization is not allowed to apply for another grant if their previous grant hasn’t been approved as completed by that committee," Stephenson says. Each grant recipient has a personal cheerleader at Greenville Women Giving to help them successfully complete their goals.

Since its inception in 2006, Greenville Women Giving has donated $5.4 million in total grant funding to the Upstate community.

PHILANTHROPY

Co-op and community come together for local youth Paula Lyles, a customer service representative at Laurens Electric Cooperative, was entered into a random drawing at work to receive $500 as part of the company’s Pay it Forward program.

After the employee is drawn, they have one month to apply the funds toward an act of kindness. Lyles chose Straight Street in Laurens, which is a youth center that provides activities and a meeting place for youth and their friends. Lyles was so inspired by the facility that she chose to help raise additional funds and raised a total of $3,000. The funds will provide the center with a new TV, PlayStation 4, new games, 12 basketballs, and more.

Fluor’s Golf for Greenville raises $670K for local charities Fluor’s Golf for Greenville charity golf tournament raised a record $670,000 for three Upstate charities in its 29th annual event. The tournament took place at four of the Cliffs golf courses: Glassy, Keowee Vineyards, Keowee Falls, and Mountain Park. More than 450 participants played. The 2018 charity recipients included the Greenville Medical Free Clinic, Goodwill of the Upstate and Midlands, and Make-A-Wish South Carolina.

A team of more than 120 Fluor volunteers contributed thousands of hours to organize and operate the tournament. Since its inception in 1989, Fluor’s Golf for Greenville charity golf tournament has raised more than $5.7 million for charities in the greater Greenville area.

FESTIVAL

Camp Sevier to be the focal point of 2018 Scottish Games opening The 2018 Greenville Scottish Games will be held on Saturday, May 26, at 11 a.m. at Furman University. The games will feature a special celebratory kickoff to honor the Old Hickory Division, a century after a young group of men trained in Greenville broke the Hindenburg line and helped end World War I. A 48-star American flag will be parachuted into the game’s grounds at Furman University, and then there will be a special reading of the poem “In Flanders Field” by local actor and historian Brock Koonce.

The event also will feature the World War I Centennial Commemorative Team, which is a group of military veterans who serve as reenactors. This group also will be at the kickoff parade Friday night in downtown Greenville.

The Remember the Old Hickory Project is a grass-roots effort to remember Camp Sevier, which was one of the largest Army bases in the U.S. during the war. The 30th Infantry Division, which was known as the Old Hickory Division, trained at Camp Sevier in Greenville and included hundreds of local soldiers as well as men from the rest of South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee. The camp was located about 6 miles from downtown Greenville. Scottish Battalions and Highland Regiments fought in Belgium and France with the Old Hickory Division, which is why this remembrance will occur during the Scottish Games.

Congratulations!

More than 2,800 people and 2,200 dogs participated in the Mutt Strut; there were even two pet pigs. $140,000 was raised, almost $40,000 more than the 2017 event. The Greenville Humane Society places more than 6,400 pets into permanent homes each year.

Three K-9 SAR teams receive certifications Three K-9 SAR teams of the South Carolina Search and Rescue Dog Association (SCSARDA), a nonprofit, allvolunteer professional search and rescue team dedicated to finding missing people with highly trained search dogs, have attained national certifications from the North American Police Work Dog Association (NAPWDA).

Michel Galliot with K9 Shadow and Marion Tisdale with K9 Maya received certification in SAR area search.

Nancy Jocoy with K9 Beau received certification in cadaver detection. The search and rescue area search test includes a dog searching an area while off-leash, finding and alerting back to its handler of a hidden subject. The cadaver detection certification test included searches for human remains in 12 different scenarios in six areas.

Team members also take coursework in lost person behavior, managing the land search operation, and other advanced SAR courses.

“…staff is inspiring and encouraging and although the sessions are challenging the results are undeniable. I am stronger, pain free and running faster and longer than ever before.” –Tim M. “I am constantly smiling during my time at Elite. I feel wonderful. I feel loved, like everyone cares about the needs and care of the patient, and I wouldn’t recommend anyone to a place other than Elite.” –Marvin M. At Elite, we welcome patients of all ages: children to seniors and everything in between.

Furman University has announced that James A. Lanier Jr., ’79, and Mary Anne Anderson Lanier, ’79, have committed $1.05 million to invest in Furman University’s Shi Center for Sustainability. The Laniers’ commitment will directly support The Furman Advantage, providing students increased opportunities for fellowships and research and funding for improved programs and learning experiences. The university is also taking steps to further integrate sustainability into the curriculum across all disciplines.

The Laniers have long supported both higher education and sustainability. In 2016, James Lanier was appointed to Furman’s board of trustees and retired from his 35-year tenure at Interface, a global leader in sustainability. James has also served on a number of education-oriented professional associations, including ACUHO (Association of College and University Housing Officers), APPA (the Association of Higher Education Facilities Officers), and SCUP (Society for College and University Planning). Mary Anne Anderson Lanier is president of the Ray C. Anderson Foundation and serves on the boards of the Chattahoochee Riverkeeper and the Institute for Georgia Environmental Leadership. Previously, she served on the sustainable operations team of Interface and in 2013 was appointed to the National Wildlife Federation’s President’s Advisory Council.

This Week

Fresh is Best

A spring and early summer vegetable tray entices guests with fresh and savory bites The season’s early harvest beckons a wow-worthy vegetable offering served up on a beautiful platter. An ombre of green creates harmony for the eye and the palate, so step away from the expected celery and carrots and embrace what’s seasonally available from Upstate purveyors.

Terry Gillespie of Hennessee Haven says there are a variety of platter styles to suit any spring table, luxe-to-simplified, earthy-to-refined and all with a sense of tradition and heirloom-worthy possibility.

Styles, page 24

24 | GREENVILLE JOURNAL | 05.25.2018 GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM

Prep your veggies Wash and towel dry everything. Nothing bruises a tender vegetable faster than water drops. Lay washed veggies in a single layer on an absorbent cotton towel. Roll the towel up gently patting as you go to absorb moisture. Delicate leaves can be spun in a salad spinner.

Step 1: Use greens to set the stage. They are not just ornamentation, but also highly noshable. We utilized full spinach leaves and deliciously bitter dandelion greens to create fringe at opposing angles.

Step 2: Plan the position of containers to hold wet or brined items like dips, olives and pickles. They don’t need to match; in fact, find vessels that are of varying diameter and height. We combined softened cream cheese with Greek yogurt and nestled it in store-bought pesto for a dip that continues to please the more it’s dipped into.

Step 3: Not every component needs to stay raw. Roast cruciferous vegetables-like broccoli, rapini or cauliflower-- in the oven with smoked salt and a spritz of oil for 10-12 minutes at 400degrees. Chill in the fridge until it’s time to assemble.

Step 4: Pare by hand. Interesting cuts make for a pretty platter so slice pale carrots into angular wedges and take the tops lengthwise off pods to reveal their nestled peas. Cucumbers should always be stripped from their waxy exterior and utilize a serrated peeler to strip asparagus as well. The stalks become increasingly tasty raw when shed of its skin.

Step 5: Add the unexpected. Shaved fennel is a delicious addition. Consider giant capers in place of olives or go old school and pile up endive. Look for unique varieties of veg such as watermelon radish, golden beets or an array of Swiss chard to add surprising interest.

CHANGING TUNES Blending musical styles has been the key to Judah & the Lion's success VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER

vharris@communityjournals.com

Judah & the Lion titled its 2016 album “Folk Hop N’ Roll,” an accurate, genre-hopping description of the 10 songs contained within. The opening track, “Graffiti Dreams,” mixes a burbling banjo line, icy synthesizers, serrated guitars, and a massive, stuttering beat, and the rest of the album follows suit. The trio of Judah Akers, Brian Macdonald, and Nate Zuercher creates a synthesis of anthemic choruses, electronic dance beats, and rock muscle, an unexpected blend considering that their main instruments include Macdonald’s banjo and Zuercher’s mandolin. And that mixture of styles has paid off big time.

The second single off “Folk Hop N’ Roll,” “Take It All Back,” is at once the most stripped-down and successful moment on the album. Based around a skeletal beat, Akers’ layered vocals, and a banjo vs. mandolin duel in the background, the single went gold, selling a half-million copies and topping Billboard’s alternative rock chart. A deluxe version of “Folk Hop N’ Roll,” released in 2017, featured a dramatically slowed-down version of “Take It All Back” augmented by a swelling string section, in addition to four new songs that point toward a more direct modern-rockmeets-folk sound, leaving the band’s options wide-open for its next recording.

“We’re starting to figure out what the next album is going to sound like,” Zuercher says.

“We’re supposed to go into the studio in a couple of weeks, and we’ve done a lot of demos, but it’s usually not until we get into the studio that we figure out what it’s actually going to sound like.”

Zuercher acknowledges, however, that two of the new songs on the deluxe version of “Folk Hop N’ Roll” seem to be the template for where they’re headed. “Songs like ‘Suit Jacket’ [an atmospheric synth-and-banjo ballad with a massive chorus] and ‘Green Eyes’ [a guitar-driven rocker] — that sort of felt like the main avenue we wanted to go down,” he says. “We’re always open to change.”

Despite the layers of production and instrumentation that usually mark the band’s songs, Zuercher says they typically start as acoustic songs with strong melodies.

“I think that any good song can be stripped down to an acoustic guitar and a vocalist,” he says. “We’ll have a big drum sound or synth sound, but before we actually record it, we’ll sit down with an acoustic guitar, piano, banjo, and mandolin and make sure it feels right in a bare-bones setting. And if it doesn’t, we need to change something.”

There’s also a structural advantage to starting a song in bare-bones mode: The musicians can hear what they’re doing. “There’s less going on,” Zuercher says. “You can pay attention to the melody and what it’s saying before you add this big rock sound that makes it harder to focus on the intimacy of the song.”

Regardless of how the songs on the band’s two albums, “Kids These Days” and “Folk Hop N’ Roll,” start or end, you’re bound to hear quite different versions of them if you catch Judah & the Lion’s show at the Peace Center’s outdoor TD Stage on Friday.

“We think of the record as being a snapshot of that moment,” Zuercher says, “and then when we play it live, that’s when we get to be creative and push our boundaries. Our experience is that when we write a song, we don’t have a lot of time to try different things. We have to record the song wherever it is at that moment. But when we play it over and over again, we get to have freedom to try new riffs, melodies, or drum patterns, and hopefully that’s what makes our live show a more special experience than just listening to the record.”

ART APPRECIATION Mod Fête event to kick off revamped MAConnect program SARA PEARCE | STAFF

spearce@communityjournals.com

The Metropolitan Arts Council will host its first annual Mod Fête event on June 8, 7-10 p.m., at ArtUp Studios at Hampton Station to showcase its revived and reinvigorated MAConnect program.

“The purpose of MAConnect is to connect local artists to a demographic of folks in their 20s-40s who are interested in learning more about the local arts scene through lively member events,” says Kacee Lominack, development associate at the Metropolitan Arts Council.

MAConnect, which was founded in 2014, has been undergoing a natural revitalization due to new events, new board members, and an excitement surrounding the group and its events, Lominack says.

“We’ve made a deliberate attempt to include a well-rounded group, which has led to the formation of some of these new ideas,” she says. “It’s exciting to watch the artists have a platform that directly contributes to the sale of their work or the development of a friendship as a result of being connected to our group.”

Mod Fête will feature several local artists, art demonstrations, live music from the Note Ropers, and a $500 raffle.

Participating artists include Tanya Stiegler, Gerry Wubben, Mark Batory, and Ric Standridge, among others.

Stiegler, a fine art jeweler who has called ArtUp Studios her home for about a year, is looking forward to the event. “Part of the appeal to opening my studio was being able to create an environment which communicates the influences on and essence of my work,” she says. “It has been really fun to build that, and I love welcoming people into this space.”

Stiegler also speaks highly of the work that MAC and MAConnect have done in the arts community. “MAC is the glue that holds together so many different visual and creative arts fields here in Greenville, and that joins them up with an appreciative audience,” she says. “They do a tremendous amount to promote the value of the arts in our community. MAConnect is an essential piece of this promotion, creating the next generation of arts enthusiasts and collectors.”

Other artists, including Wubben, are

looking forward to being able to demonstrate their craft at the event. “We will let attendees have a try at it if they want,” he says. “It’s hard to keep up with all of the great events that go on in Greenville. MAConnect brings people together and is showing them a great group of artists that they might not know about otherwise.”

MAConnect steering committee member Virginia Hayes is excited about the new involvement of MAConnect and the reinvigoration of the group through events like Mod Fête.

“I was thrilled when the MAConnect group was formed under Alan Ethridge and the Metropolitan Arts Council to educate like-minded art patrons on Greenville’s thriving arts scene in fun and engaging ways. Not only has this been a fun group to be involved in but I’ve learned so much,” she says. “Supporting our arts community is essential to Greenville’s prosperity. Part of what makes Greenville so unique and cool is the extensive amount of talent we have here. We are lucky to live in a city that not only has such amazing talent but one that embraces it.”

Mod Fête admission is $75, which includes a full year of MAConnect membership.

“In addition to admission to the Mod Fête party, Fall Open Studios Bus Tour, MAC exhibit openings, and artist talks, members receive MAC’s exclusive ArtCard, which allows the cardholder to a buy-one-get-one-free ticket to the Greenville Symphony Orchestra, Centre Stage, Warehouse Theatre, Greenville Chorale, Greenville Little Theatre, South Carolina Children’s Theatre, and select shows at The Peace Center,” Lominack says. “It’s the best entertainment deal in town!”

AMONG THE GREATS Ricky Skaggs reflects on Country Music Hall of Fame induction, return to bluegrass VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER

Ricky Skaggs has won 14 Grammys and eight Country Music Association awards.

He can expertly play multiple instruments, including mandolin, fiddle, guitar, and banjo, and sing beautifully in a high-lonesome tenor. Before returning to his first musical love of bluegrass with 1997’s “Bluegrass Rules!,” he scored 12 No. 1 country hits, including “Highway 40 Blues,” “Country Boy,” and “Crying My Heart Out Over You,” and no less an authority than Chet Atkins once credited him with “singlehandedly saving country music.”

So, it comes as something of a surprise that until this year, the 63-year-old musician, bandleader, and record-label owner who will play the Peace Center’s TD Stage with his band Kentucky Thunder on Tuesday, hadn’t been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. It seems like a no-brainer, but back in March when the Country Music Association announced that Skaggs would, at long last, become an inductee, no one was more surprised than he.

“It’s very humbling,” Skaggs says. “In my mind, there are a lot of people who I feel like deserve to be there that aren’t already; people who have been playing

music longer than me and that still inspire me. People like The Stanley Brothers, for instance. I’m not complaining; I’m very grateful. And at 63, I’m going to be able to enjoy this for a long time.”

Somehow, despite all his success and acclaim, Skaggs didn’t really have an inkling that his induction was coming until he was told about it early in the year.

“It’s one of those things where it’s easy to think, ‘Well, this person got in and this person got in, so maybe one of these days,’” he says. “And I’ve had a lot of people tell me, ‘This is your year.’ But you never really know for sure. I had faith, but I didn’t know for sure it was coming until they spoke to me about it.”

Skaggs was especially happy to be inducted alongside singer Dottie West and Johnny Gimble, a member of Bob Wills & The Texas Playboys and one of the most important fiddle players in country music history.

“I didn’t get to know Dottie as well as I would’ve liked to before she passed away,” he says, “but I met her at the Grand Ole Opry, and I went to church with her daughter and son-in-law. And then Johnny Gimble, my goodness, what a fiddle player and what a great man.”

Despite the accolades from country music, Skaggs has never regretted his return to bluegrass in the late ’90s. As a young musician, he played with Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, and Ralph Stanley, and moving back into the music he grew up with was not only comfortable, but it unexpectedly opened a whole new world of collaborators for him.

“Since I came out of the commercial country music world and gone back to

bluegrass, it seems like I’ve had a lot more opportunities than I ever had just playing country music,” he says. “I got to go out on tour with Ry Cooder a couple of years ago, and that was one of the best times that I’ve had. My relationship with Bruce Hornsby has been very fruitful; it was such an incredible thing to work with him. And we’ve done some recording with Jack White and The Raconteurs; that was a fun thing.”

Those collaborations were a lot of fun, but Skaggs still has the best experience leading the young musicians in Kentucky Thunder.

He’s evolved from the young country music wunderkind to an elder statesman bringing great musicians into the world.

“I’ve been able to raise up young musicians in this band that are phenomenal players and will go on and have great success in their own right,” he says. “Lots of great guitar players, fiddle players, banjo players, and bass players. The people who have worked with me in this band throughout the years, they’re like sons.

Some of them don’t want to be sons and that’s OK; I love them anyway. Experience is a great teacher, and at 63, playing music since I was 5, I think they realize there’s a lot of wisdom under this gray hair.”

Are Regular Visits to the Dentist Important?

Many people don’t see a need to visit a dentist until a problem arises. When the problems show up it is TOO LATE! Regular visits to a dentist are a must; prevention and early detection of issues are crucial to your dental health.

Regular hygiene appointments, or “check-ups”, are a wise choice for your dental health. When you visit regularly your hygienist and dentist will be able to assess your dental health to resolve small issues and prevent new issues. A regular hygiene appointment should consist of:

“We look forward to helping you to maintain or create a smile you will share with confidence!”

• An update and discussion of your current medical history. Medical information is important; many conditions in the human body are directly related to your dental health as well dental conditions can affect your whole body health.

• The hygienist will take x-rays to assess ar eas of teeth, tissue and bone that the naked eye cannot see. The roots and bone are hidden and there may be a hidden issue that you cannot feel! The x-rays give the hygienist and dentist a view of what they cannot possibly see otherwise.

GATHER ‘ROUND

WORDS BY ARIEL TURNER PHOTOS BY WILL CROOKS

Family meals for restaurant staffs got their name for a reason As a 19-year-old working in the kitchen at a Louisville restaurant, chef Jason Scholz remembers eating one single french fry while he was on the clock, and at the end of the night, the owner handed him a bill.

Scholz, the co-owner and executive chef of two successful local restaurants, Stella’s Southern Bistro and Stella’s Southern Brasserie, who also worked in well-known Charleston kitchens for many years, says the memory of that lack of hospitality has always stuck with him.

“You should extend hospitality to staff and guests,” he says.

It’s one of the reasons serving a “staff,” or “family meal,” before dinner service each night at both of his restaurants is so important to him, even though it costs roughly $15,000 per restaurant annually.

“It’s a financial commitment, but it’s important to do that,” Scholz says.

Family meal is standard practice in many restaurants, especially those in which the staff isn’t, for a variety of reasons, allowed to make a to-go order at the end of their shifts.

The format varies from restaurant to restaurant, but the basic gist is the same: a cook or team of cooks, usually not the executive chef, whip up a family-style meal in whatever style they choose to be shared either altogether if time permits or as the staff has time prior to service each day around 3 p.m.

“It’s a tremendous way to extend professional courtesy to employees,” Scholz says. “It builds camaraderie with the employees. It’s humane. You’ve got to extend that to your staff.”

Furthermore, working in a restaurant can be physically and mentally intense at times, and fueling up beforehand only ensures a better-equipped staff for the tasks ahead.

“It’s good to break bread with the peo-

ple you’re about to go into battle with,” Scholz says.

At Husk Greenville, family meal is always a team effort, says chef de cuisine Jon Buck.

Each day, two cooks and/or chefs are paired together to prepare a meal for the rest of the staff. Generally, the family meal pairs come from different stations in the kitchen (i.e. the Hearth station and Pastry).

“The cross-functional aspect of family meal is an essential part of creating a sense of camaraderie amongst the team,” Buck says.

Buck says because of their unorthodox schedules and the fact that they work around food all day, it is important to provide the hard-working staff with the much-needed opportunity to sit down, relax, and enjoy well-balanced nutrition.

“Family meal earned its name for a reason,” he says. “We spend long hours with one another on any given day and truly are a family. We all sit together and spend this time setting goals for the upcoming shift and touching base with one another.”

A secondary goal for family meal in many

kitchens is using resources and reduction of waste, along with giving cooks a chance to showcase their culinary creativity.

“Depending on what we have in abundance in the kitchen, the chefs and cooks plan a meal that will creatively use those excess resources,” Buck says.

A large green salad is pretty standard fare for family meal. Following that, Buck says the individuals preparing the meal are provided the creative liberty to showcase their talents by making satisfying dishes that are not necessarily anything that would ever be on the menu at Husk.

“For example, our sous chef Shamil Velazquez uses family meal as his opportunity to showcase his Puerto Rican heritage by making traditional recipes such as fish stew,” Buck says. “On any given day we could have tacos, meatloaf, pasta, anything. It all depends on how the talented members of our team use the resources that they have available.”

Chef Chuy Trinh at Otto Izakaya’s West End location likes to use family meal as

Being invited to cook at the James Beard Foundation House in New York City is kind of a big deal. Some notable Greenville chefs — Greg McPhee (The Anchorage), Jason Scholz (both Stella’s), and Anthony Gray (Bacon Bros.)

Locally made Blue Ridge Creamery cheeses are also on the menu, and with Nick cooking, that likely means a bounty of local produce will accompany his dishes. Way to show up in the Big Apple, Greenville. Rumor has it this will also be the very first James Beard House dinner broadcast live on Facebook, so tune in to the JBF Facebook page at 7 p.m. to see our hometown boy throw down.

Your coffee dreams have come true So at least once a day, someone on my social feed laments that coffee delivery doesn’t exist and wouldn’t it be nice to have that double coco-whip skinny caramel macchiato (I just made that up) delivered desk-side instead of the bad office drip variety. Or, even more often, stay-at-home moms of littles on a sleep boycott voice their need for caffeine delivery.

«

a way of encouraging his newer cooks to branch out from what they do from the menu, but cooking for a staff of professionals can be intimidating. Trinh doesn’t let that become an excuse.

“I make everyone on the kitchen cook,” he says.

He says he likes to see the cooks challenge each other and see what they can do while also using it as an opportunity to give recommendations and teach new skills.

“They hate making family meal,” Trinh jokes. “But they love to eat it.”

Because of the staff’s various backgrounds COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM

and food allergies, they like to get creative.

Sometimes Trinh will make traditional pho from his Vietnamese background; a couple Hispanic members of the kitchen will often make tacos or enchiladas; cook Jessy Mai’s fried rice is a staff favorite because he uses bacon and other ingredients not typically on the menu, and even spaghetti and meatballs will be served on occasion.

Regardless of the exact meal served, for those working on their feet for 12-hour shifts, family meal is critical.

“If you don’t feed your staff, everybody gets stagnant,” Trinh says.

Cleghorn

Greenville Heritage Main Street Fridays | NOMA Square 5:30 p.m. | Free

CONCERT

The Celtic-rock band Cleghorn, who are playing both the Greenville Heritage Main Street Fridays series and at the Scottish Games at Furman University the next day, identify themselves as a Celtic-rock band.

But in a genre where Flogging Molly and The Dropkick Murphys are the most well-known names, it can be a challenge to explain to people how different Cleghorn is. On their new album, “Celtic America,” the band, led by father John Cleghorn (vocals, guitar) and son Dylan Cleghorn (vocals, fiddle, mandolin, didgeridoo), leans more heavily on “rock” than “Celtic.” “Certainly, Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys are well-known names, even for mainstream audiences,” Dylan Cleghorn says. “So, it’s a common comparison that people tend to make, but they’re a little more traditional Irish, where we have more of an American rock influence. It’s hard to explain unless people have experienced it.

Maybe sometimes it should be called ‘rock Celtic’ and not ‘Celtic rock.’” –Vincent Harris FRI-SUN

MAY 27

The Greenville band Sparrow’s Point formed in 2015 around the nucleus of singer/guitarist Brady Scott and drummer Dillon Tortora, two guys who had known each other since middle school. And even three years down the line, the band still has some trouble defining their sound, which has the heaviness of straightforward power-trio rock with a lot of punk-inspired attitude and deceptively complex playing. “It’s really hard to say what we play,” Tortora says. “All of us come from very eclectic backgrounds that are very different from each other. We’ve got some music that’s jazz-inspired, some that’s Latin-inspired, some straight-up punk rock. It’s just very all over the place, but alternative rock is probably the best way to describe it.”

Sparrow’s Point is rounded out by bassist Andy Kent, who may or may not have stretched the truth a bit when he joined. “I knew Andy as a guitar player, but I mentioned to him that we needed a bassist, and [he] told me he played bass,” Tortora says. “He didn’t at all; he just really wanted to be in a band. So, he picked up a bass guitar and an amp and showed up to practice and worked his butt off and convinced us he could actually play bass.” –Vincent Harris THRU SAT

She works best in a cool, mid-tempo style that allows her to stretch out, playing with melody lines and verses with the adventurous spirit of a jazz player.

In addition to a slew of hits on the R&B charts, including “Pieces Of Me,” “Stay Together,” “I Blame You,” and “All The Way,” this sound has garnered Ledisi a great deal of critical and industry acclaim, including a stunning 12 Grammy nominations since 2008. It’s a level of appreciation she says she enjoys but has to keep at arm’s length. “Any artist that says they don’t care is really full of it,” she says with a laugh. “But awards are all opinions that in the end have nothing to do with the hard work that’s put into every project I have put out. I listen and receive all external opinions and praise, and then I have to keep it moving.” –Vincent Harris Heritage Green. Only 80 seats available.
