Voters show incumbents the door Two longtime senators, sheriff and County Council rep fall in bad night for incumbents CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Greenville voters helped put out two state senators in Tuesday’s runoff, an election that had a decidedly anti-incumbent bent that also ousted longtime Greenville Sheriff Steve Loftis and Greenville County Councilwoman Lottie Gibson.

But the biggest incumbent loss may come from a neighboring county, said Danielle Vinson, a Furman University political science professor. Longtime state Sen. Larry Martin, who chaired the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee, lost to Rex Rice, the owner of a construction and land development company and cattle farmer who served in the House from 1995 to 2010.

“He was so active in the big issues, and by losing that voice, we lose some influence,” Vinson said.

But William Timmons, a Greenville businessman who defeated longtime District 6 Senator Mike Fair by a 2-to-1 margin, said it is simple why Tuesday was such a bad night for incumbents.

“They’re not doing their job,” Timmons said.

Too much time in Columbia is spent on recognizing people from the House or Senate floor and not enough time is spent on solutions to problems state residents care about, he said.

“That we can’t pave our roads but can name them after somebody is shocking,” Timmons said.

Timmons dismisses talk that rookie legislators can’t get anything done in Columbia.

“I could care less about seniority,” he said. “I’m not going to get it, but I am going to get things done.”

Voters not seeing things getting done — whether it’s in Columbia, Washington D.C. or County Square — fueled the anti-incumbent mood, Vinson said.

“The Greenwood County Clerk was defeated. Who boots out an incumbent county clerk? Most people don’t know what a county clerk does,” she said. “Every-

body is frustrated with government at every level and it’s ‘throw the bums out.’”

Vinson said voters want problems solved.

Politicians want to solve problems, too, but they want to solve them while keeping a particular ideology. Vinson said voters have heard about gas tax hikes and Department of Transportation restructuring for years.

“Voters, quite frankly, don’t care how the roads are fixed in South Carolina. They just want them fixed,” she said. “They’re tired of driving over crud. With South Carolina voters, the top issues are roads, roads and roads. They want to see orange cones. If they don’t, we may see the same thing in two to four years.”

Vinson said roads and ideology played a major part in Sen. Lee Bright’s loss to former state Rep. Scott Talley in the Senate District 12 race. Bright stirred controversy in his eight years in the Senate, the latest

07.01.2016 | GREENVILLE JOURNAL | 5

NEWS when he proposed that transgender people be required to use public restrooms that correspond with their sex assigned at birth rather than their gender identity.

The proposal mirrored North Carolina’s “bathroom bill” that spurred a business backlash.

“Bright focused on symbolic issues that were not enhancing South Carolina’s image and ignoring issues focusing on roads,” she said.

Vinson said she also thought voters’ antiincumbent “throw the old guys out” mood played a bigger factor in Loftis losing the Sheriff ’s race to former deputy Will Lewis than the mudslinging that marked the race for the weeks leading up to Tuesday’s vote.

“Mud was flying in both directions,” she said. “I think Lewis’s message of changing the way we police and technology played into the anti-incumbent mood.”

OPINION Views from your community

Keep your kids safe in the water IN MY OWN WORDS

By Cynthia Fryer

As the weather heats up and more children and families head to pools, lakes and beaches, Safe Kids Upstate wants to remind parents and caregivers to actively supervise children at all times when they’re in and around water.

Drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional injury-related death for children ages 1 to 19. Nationally, on average, more than 1,000 children die each year due to unintentional drowning, and more than 5,000 are seen in emergency rooms for injuries from near-drowning incidents.

A drowning child cannot cry or shout for help, so simply being near your child doesn’t always help. Whether it’s a trip to the beach or a dip in the community or backyard pool, you can ensure that swimming is as safe as it is fun by following a few basic safety tips, starting with keeping your

eyes on your kids at all times and keeping children under 5 years of age within arm’s reach.

Studies show that although 90 percent of parents say they supervise their children while swimming, many acknowledge that they engage in other distracting activities at the same time like talking, eating, reading or taking care of another child. Even a near-drowning incident can have lifelong consequences. Kids who survive a near drowning may have brain damage, and after four to six minutes under water, the damage is usually irreversible.

Safe Kids Upstate recommends the following five tips to keep kids safe in and around water:

Give kids your undivided attention.

Actively supervise children in and around water, without distraction. Children under the age of 5 should be within arm’s reach of the designated supervising adult while they

are in the water.

Have a designated Water Watcher.

When there are several adults present and children are swimming or around a pool, use the designated Water Watcher strategy, which designates an adult as the Water Watcher for a certain amount of time (such as 15-minute periods) to prevent lapses in supervision and give caregivers a chance to make phone calls or take a bathroom break.

Teach children not to swim alone.

Whether you’re swimming in a backyard pool or in a lake, teach children to swim with an adult. If you are a swimmer, model safe swimming by swimming with a partner every time. Teach children to never go near or in water without an adult present.

Learn CPR. You have a lot to do, and learning CPR should be on the top of the list. It will give you tremendous peace of mind — and the more peace of mind you have as a parent, the better.

Be extra careful around pool drains.

Educate your children about the dangers of drain entanglement and entrapment and teach them to never play or swim near drains or suction outlets.

Safe Kids Upstate works to prevent unintentional childhood injury, the number one cause of death for children in the United States. The coalition is led by the Greenville Health System Children’s Hospital and is part of its Bradshaw Institute for Community Child Health and Advocacy.

Financial literacy is a requirement for stability IN MY OWN WORDS

By Dana McConnell

No matter your social status, ZIP code or educational level, a basic understanding of money is required for financial stability. You could earn a nice salary and still not have enough left over at the end of the month to buy basic food necessities. Or you could be a family of four thriving on a modest salary. It all comes down to living within your means, and making the most of what you have.

Decisions: Need vs. want. As parents, how often are we tempted to give in to our children’s pleas at the store? If we allow our children one treat during every store visit, that can add up in expenses, as well as setting an expectation for future trips. It becomes a costly habit that is difficult to break.

Consider instead allowing your child to help pick out the type of yogurt, sandwich bread or fruit purchased, so they feel in-

volved in making decisions for the family.

Ask your child to help you compare the price of a name brand product vs. a store brand product, and be willing to try the one with the better value. If your child still insists on a treat, however, many grocery stores offer children a free cookie or bag of popcorn.

Simplicity: If you haven’t used it in the past year, get rid of it. This goes for off-site storage units, cable TV and magazine subscriptions. Basically, simplify your life and get organized. It’s so tempting to hold onto our personal keepsakes with the thought that “someday” we will need them. But if you haven’t needed them in the past 12 months, chances are you won’t ever need them. Consider selling the items in a garage sale or through online platforms. This will not only provide instant cash with the proceeds, but you will save the monthly cost of maintaining that storage unit.

Cable TV seems to be a priority we value as high as other utility bills, like water and electricity. But most prime networks are available free, giving a wide selection of morning talk shows, daytime dramas and evening news. For those who can’t live without sports or movies, online streaming services such as Hulu, Netflix and Sling offer subscriptions for a fraction of the price of cable.

Mindset: Save, save, save. Be mindful of your grocery purchases and buy only what you feel you can eat. Food should not go to waste. If you decide to eat out, consider going only where you have a coupon or where they have in-house specials like kids eat free nights. Also, keep in mind that full-service restaurants require a tip that may negate any potential coupon savings.

For those with significant medical bills, financial stability takes on a whole new mean-

ing. The cost of prescriptions, operations or lifelong conditions can strain even the most frugal family budget. Even further stretched are those who have a child with a disability.

Because with a child, it’s not just his or her medical bills to consider but also his or her educational environment, long-term residential options and special needs trusts.

The Center for Developmental Service (CDS) will be hosting a free financial literacy program every Friday. This seminar series is open to the community but will touch on a few topics designed specifically for families who have a child with a disability. Each week, a financial specialist in the community will cover a different topic.

Dana McConnell is the executive director of the Center for Developmetal Services (CDS), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and a United Way funded agency.

The Pixelry decodes the gender gap Greenville tech camp teaches young girls the basics of coding ANJALI PATEL | CONTRIBUTOR

apatel@communityjournals.com

My college roommate was a chemical engineering major her first semester. But that didn’t last long. When young women like my roommate declare a major in a STEM field, they often find it discouraging to be one of the few females in their classes.

The founders of a new Greenville coding camp are motivated by the similar problems and prejudices they faced during their own college days. The Pixelry is a coding camp located in the Erwin Penland building at 125 E. Broad St. in downtown Greenville.

“Being an outlier in a group can be intimidating,” The Pixelry founder and lead instructor Kelly Cook explained. The Pixelry is working to transform this discouragement into female empowerment, but hopes to spark an interest in coding and STEM-related fields at an even earlier age.

It all started when parents asked Cook if there were any local opportunities for young girls to learn how to code. “My answer consisted of a very short list, which made me re-

alize that there are not enough opportunities in the Greenville area,” she said.

Cook previously taught coding classes for the Greenville chapter of 100 Girls of Code, and strived to add more Greenville-based opportunities by creating The Pixelry, a coding initiative of her own. This year, seven girls between the ages of 8 to 12 attended two threehour learning sessions on June 18 and June 25 for a fee of $100. They were given access to laptop computers provided by sponsor Erwin Penland and instructed by four women: Kelly Cook, Katie Hildebrand, Valerie Miller and Katie Fricks.

The girls were taught how to code their own webpages and the basics of HTML and CSS, and were given an introduction to JavaScript. The instructors simplified these complex concepts by relating them to things the girls might better understand. “I talked a lot about Minecraft,” Cook said.

The Pixelry’s other major sponsor, CodePen, provided notebooks, pens, stickers and buttons for the girls to take home. The camp was additionally funded by Cook herself, who paid out of her own pocket to ensure that The

Pixelry’s vision could come to fruition.

The instructors hope that this experience will encourage the girls to pursue code on their own, and hopefully in their academic futures. Given the successful turnout, the instructors hope to make The Pixelry a quarterly opportunity for Greenville girls with a growing interest in STEM. They also plan to make it a one-day workshop in the future, rather than two sessions on separate days.

“It’s a lot of work, but seeing the kids learning to code brought us so much joy,” Cook said.

Cycle of change With development continuing to boom in and around downtown, bike advocates say it’s a key time if Greenville is to become home to more non-car commuters HIGHLIGHTS As more people move downtown, advocates push for more bike paths Challenge is creating a network of comfortable, connected bikeways Commuters are looking for bike-friendly, protected ways to get to work CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

As multifamily development continues to explode in downtown Greenville and its outer fringes, bike advocates say it’s a key time in the city’s quest to become home to more non-car commuters.

“Just walk from the Peace Center to Westfield Street and you can see all the development. If all those units are sold or rented, it will dramatically change downtown’s vibrancy,” said Frank Mansbach, executive director of Bike Walk Greenville. “Just think if everyone who lived downtown had to drive a car to get to a grocery store.”

The city is in the middle of updating its bike master plan and Mansbach and other cyclists are pushing for Greenville to first concentrate on getting bike paths — especially protected bike paths that use parked cars, planters, bollards, striped buffers or curbs to separate cars and bikes — into more of the central core of the city.

“People need a way to make that 1- to 3-mile trip without having to get in a car,” he said.

Greenville has the Greenville Health System Swamp Rabbit Trail, an over-the-top success that attracts all levels of cyclers, from the serious bike commuter to recreational bicyclists who are trying to pedal their way to better health to families with little kids trying to spend some quality time together. In fact,

the Swamp Rabbit Trail, which runs from Greenville to Travelers Rest, is so popular it is probably at or very close to capacity, especially on weekends, said City Councilwoman Amy Ryberg Doyle, a staunch supporter of bike lanes and complete streets.

The issue is how to connect a growing number of cyclists to the trail and to destinations such as offices, downtown restaurants and entertainment and shopping — safely.

“The time is ripe for renewed interest and investment in bike infrastructure,” said Jean Crowther, Greenville office manager for Alta Planning, the consultant working on the bike plan. “The need for it will only increase with new development.”

BIGGEST CHALLENGE

Greenville’s biggest challenge is a lack of connected, comfortable bikeways, which consist of protected bike lanes, quiet neighborhood streets that feel comfortable and the Swamp Rabbit Trail and its connectors, Crowther said.

“Greenville is making progress with pieces of that, but it’s at a tipping point,” Crowther said. “It’s really tough work connecting a network. If it doesn’t get someone from where they’re starting to where they’re going, they’re not going to use it.”

Andy Johnston and his wife, Brooke, commuted by bike in places they lived before moving to Greenville. But he said they haven’t felt as comfortable bike commuting in Greenville.

“Walk from the Peace Center to Westfield Street and you can see all the development. Just think if everyone who lived downtown had to drive a car to get to a grocery store.”

Frank Mansbach, Bike Walk Greenville

“People aren’t used to it and some of the roads aren’t wide enough,” he said.

Johnston said his office on Pettigru Street is bike-friendly from his Earle Street home.

But when his wife tried to bike commute to Greenville Hospital System on Grove Road, it was much more difficult, especially once the automobile drivers had started their morning commutes.

TIME FOR PROTECTED BIKE LANES?

Greenville, which was designated a bronzelevel Bicycle Friendly Community in 2009 and again in 2013, put its first bike lane down about a decade ago. In the five years since the first bike master plan was completed, the city added 7.5 miles of bike lanes.

A temporary protected bike lane that uses parked cars to separate bikes from automobile traffic has been up for a month on Broad

Street. The protected bike lane was put in through a partnership between Bikeville, a city of Greenville bike initiative, and Bike Walk Greenville. It is believed to be the first protected bike lane in South Carolina.

The lane will be taken down for the city’s Red, White and Blue Fourth of July celebration, said Edward Kinney, senior landscape architect for the city and coordinator of the city’s bike efforts. Kinney said the city would like to make the protected bike lane permanent, but no money has been earmarked for the project, which could cost at least a few thousand dollars.

Mansbach said it would make sense to put protected bike lanes on Washington and McBee avenues and River, Spring and Broad streets.

“We think the city should concentrate on the streets they own, the 1- to 3-mile trips,” he said.

NEWS More bicyclists, more thefts

As number of riders increases, so does the chance of having bikes stolen CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com Cities, including Greenville, are getting more bike-friendly, and riders are not the only ones who are benefitting. So are bike thieves.

In Greenville, police investigating a string of bicycle thefts in downtown earlier this spring arrested three people who targeted apartment complexes. Another person has an active arrest warrant for selling one of the bicycles.

The trio sold a total of 28 bikes between early March and early May and Greenville police tied them to 14 cases.

Police said some of the bikes were sold within a few days after being taken and others were kept a little longer.

Eleven bikes were recovered, and a noname brand blue and teal bike is the only one that remains in police property and evidence, said Gilberto Franco, Greenville Police public information officer.All of the bikes had their locks cuts.

Franco recommends that bike owners put them in a locked garage or storage area. If they live downtown and don’t have access to one of those, Franco suggested parking near a surveillance camera and using a lock.

Bike owners should write down the brand, model number and serial number.

times help increase the chances of getting your stolen property back.

The problem is not unique to Greenville. A 2012 FBI report estimated bicycle thefts comprised 3.6 percent of the 6.151 million larceny and theft cases nationwide. That equals nearly 221,500 cases. The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that four times that amount go unreported.

Police urge bike owners to report thefts, because if several bikes are stolen from the same area and only one is reported, they won’t know if it’s a trend or an isolated case.

Wade Hampton Boulevard, some of the city’s other corridors, will be harder to deal with because they are state roads, Kinney said. In those cases, the city instead comes up with bike bypasses that use side roads and signage to show cyclists how they can get to where they’re going and stay off roads with higher speed limits and heavier traffic.

Laurens Road could be served by a future SRT extension from Cleveland Park to CUICAR. The project will use an abandoned railroad line, and bridges are supposed to be built over Laurens Road, Verdae Boulevard and Haywood Road.

But bike lanes aren’t the only component of the bike master plan. It includes a bike-share program, hosting cycling championships to raise awareness, Bike to School days, education programs and bike racks on Greenlink buses.

The City Council is expected to get its first look at the updated master plan in late July.

I biked to work and survived The traffic didn’t kill our two-wheeled reporter, but the heat almost did CAROLINE HAFER | STAFF

chafer@communityjournals.com

Spoiler alert: It’s hot!

For some reason, I thought it would be an interesting idea to write about a commute to work, since Greenvillians are talking about the need for more bike lanes.

What I didn’t consider was the 90-degree weather we’re having every day.

I live close to Laurens Road, but I knew that I was not comfortable biking Laurens Road and Stone Avenue. I am willing to take some journalistic risk in my career, but I am not willing to risk my life for one article. I got a little creative on my route through my neighborhood and went a little out of my way to make sure I hit as much of the GHS Swamp Rabbit Trail as possible.

From Cleveland Park to Furman College Way, it was a pretty smooth commute. Near the end I did have some confusion on how to get to Main Street, since every entrance had stairs leading up, so I ended up just riding it all the way to University Street. From there, I got off Main Street pretty quickly

and took back roads for the rest of the commute.

There were not any bike lanes on the roads I was on, including Main Street, which I think is a major issue. Riding all the way down Rhett Street was nice for the lack of traffic, but the roads were extremely uneven and not the comfiest ride.

Cars don’t care about bikers in Greenville. Which is a very broad generalization, but I’m going to stick to it. Even as someone who bikes occasionally, I sometimes find myself driving in a way that is dangerous to bikers because it slips my mind that they are everywhere.

It’s hot. If your office has some sort of showers, I would recommend planning to use them when you get to work, because no one wants to smell you all day. Also, pack a change of clothes. The easiest way to ruin a nice outfit is with some bicycle grease, not to mention that you will spend the first two hours at work in clothes drenched with sweat.

Overall, it took me about 40 minutes to get from my house near Laurens Road and North Pleasantburg Drive to our office in the Village of West Greenville, roughly a 5-mile trip. I had worked it up in my head to be a lot scarier than it would be. It is hot, but that’s inevitable. When fall and early spring roll around, I would definitely consider biking to work regularly.

THE TAKEAWAY • The Swamp Rabbit is a great resource for biking if you live and work close to downtown.

• Be okay with going a little out of the way to take the best and safest route.

• Plan your route before you go.

• Wear a helmet.

• Pack a change of clothes and plan to use a shower if your workplace has one.

• Be safe.

Since Bill Peduto became mayor of Pittsburgh in 2014, the city has been on a mission to become one of the elite when it comes to bike friendliness. The city has added bike lanes and bike racks over the years, and there’s a Confident City Cycling Classes program for cyclists, no matter what their level of riding, to learn bike-based skills that are essential to street riding.

LOUISVILLE, KY.

During the three-day Forecastle Music Festival, Bicycling for Louisville, known as B4L, valet-parked 1,780 bikes. The city has bike parking spaces in all of its Parking Authority of River City garages. The bike spaces are near the garage attendant so they’re more secure.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN.

Chattanooga is now a Silver Level bike-friendly city, and officials credit its promotion from bronze to its bike-share program that has 300 bikes at 33 stations. An app allows users to plan their routes and purchase a day pass. The app shows how many bikes are at each station. The Chattanooga Police Department also has a safe bicycling initiative designed to reduce car-bike crashes.

Front Row: City Council

‘Transformational’ corridor developments advance Northpointe, Laurens Village get key approvals CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Two projects that Greenville city leaders say will transform two key areas of the city advanced a step at Monday night’s Greenville City Council meeting.

Initial approval was given to a zoning change for Northpointe, a mixed-use development at the corner of Stone Avenue, North Church Street and Wade Hampton Boulevard, across from Canal Insurance.

A sewer agreement that would allow McCall Capital to build a mixed-use development on the former site of the state Department of Motor Vehicles on Laurens Road received initial approval as well.

Mayor Knox White called both projects “transformational.”

Central Realty Holdings, which is owned by the same family that owns Canal Insurance, has been working on Northpointe for two years, said Rece Morgan, president and CEO. “That piece of property is so strategic, so important to the city,” White said. “Its

impact will be felt blocks and blocks away.”

Councilwoman Amy Ryberg Doyle said the city still must approve abandoning Column Street, a short street that runs from Church to Wade Hampton, and vote for infrastructure improvements.

Morgan said he expects to have a development agreement with the city by the end of July and expects to break ground for the project in late August.

The project includes a Harris Teeter, multifamily housing, commercial space and a parking deck.

Laurens Village, a multiuse development planned by McCall Capital on the former DMV site, will transform Laurens Road and Pleasantburg Drive, said White and developer Marcus McCall.

Councilwoman Gaye Sprague said having healthy commercial corridors is important to the city.

“The vitality of the corridors influence the vitality of the neighborhoods,” she said.

Under the agreement, McCall Capital will replace 4,375 feet of sewer line, which

will increase sewer capacity in the area.

The city agrees to pay $1.2 million of the expected $1.5 million price tag. McCall will pay $150,000 and the Greenville Local Development Corp. will pay $150,000, according to the agreement.

Councilman David Sudduth said the city has been studying the idea of impact fees and said the agreement sets the standard of what the city needs to do in the future.

McCall said he expects to purchase the property in September and start construction next spring or summer. The project will have apartments, retail, office and access to the GHS Swamp Rabbit Trail.

GREENVILLE DRIVE

Council approved a resolution saying that beginning in 2019 it intends to provide an annual contribution of no more than $150,000 per year to the Greenville Drive from tourism-related money. The resolution said the appropriation would have to be approved each year by the then-sitting City Council and the money used for the enhancement and maintenance of Fluor Field

improvements that are open to the public.

The resolution acknowledged the Drive’s role in the transformation of the West End. The Drive plans a stadium renovation, and the city has already committed $5 million to the project in its Capital Improvement Plan through tourism-related taxes and Sunday alcohol sales fees.

REZONING

Council gave final approval to rezoning the Cureton property on Augusta Street.

The rezoning paves the way for the South Carolina Children’s Theatre to build a new facility.

FLEXIBLE REVIEW DISTRICT

City Council gave final approval to adding a flexible review district to its zoning districts. The FRD would be similar to a planned district and allow development flexibility while assuring compatibility with surrounding properties

RAISES

City Manager John Castile, City Attorney Michael Pitts and City Judge Matt Hawley will all get 3 percent merit raises.

The water’s fine County’s supply is abundant, thanks to efficiency and planning, says Greenville Water myoung@communityjournals.com

The first phase of Greenville Water’s Water Resources Master Plan has good news for county residents and industries: The county’s water supply is in great shape.

Existing water resources can handle today’s needs of serving nearly half a million people and likely will continue to handle a growing population’s water needs over the next century.

“It’s not so much we have plenty of water, as we are fortunate to have the water we have,” says Greenville Water Commission Chairman Phillip A. Kilgore of Ogletree Deakins Law Firm.

The Water Resources Master Plan, authorized in 2014, has confirmed water commissioners’ belief that the water system’s supply is on firm footing, Kilgore says.

“I have long believed the Greenville community is well-positioned to have a water supply to meet the needs of the 21st century,” Kilgore says. “What we have learned in recent years, however, is that when this remarkable planning is combined with the water efficiencies we and our customers have achieved, our water supply has become more sustainable.”

Water sense measures and standards in new homes and appliances, as well as individual businesses and citizens reducing water usage, have allowed Greenville Water to grow without having to make expensive infrastructure investments in recent years, says Olivia Vassey, communications manager for Greenville Water.

“The less water people use over time, the less we need to invest in water treatment plants and pump stations,” Vassey explains. “It helps keep your water rates low,

which is why the water industry wants to promote responsible use.”

To maintain its water quality, Greenville Water continually replaces aging pipes, spending $6.02 million in water system projects in 2015, including $1.48 million in the Augusta Road area.

shed areas, and the public is not permitted to stop and fish, swim or boat in the reservoirs. As the county’s protected water supply is more pure than lakes and rivers that provide water for many other cities, Greenville Water has to do minimal treatment to make the water drinkable, Vassey explains.

“It’s not so much we have plenty of water, as we are fortunate to have the water we have.”

Phillip A. Kilgore, Greenville Water Commission chairman

A generation ago, the water system protected its Upstate watersheds at North Saluda and Table Rock reservoirs and then partnered with Duke Energy to draw water from Lake Keowee. Greenville Water has about 30,000 acres in the reservoirs’ watershed areas. These are protected by conservation easements, Vassey says.

The easements are legal agreements the water system made with the international conservation nonprofit The Nature Conservancy to protect “the conservation purposes thereof in perpetuity for the benefit of the citizens of South Carolina,” according to a copy of the May 24, 1993, conservation easement document.

“We control what happens out there,” Vassey says. “It helps us keep a tighter grasp on what happens in the ecosystem, and it helps us maintain our treatment costs, as it ensures we have super clean and pristine water to provide.”

No developers can build in the water-

“If you think about it, the less chemicals you have in your water, the better off you are in terms of health,” she says. “We follow EPA recommendations, and do about 100,000 water quality tests each year, including testing of water from people’s faucets.”

Water tests look at lead, copper and other metals and chemicals. In a 2015 Water Quality Report, the summary of test results showed that Greenville’s water had no problems with lead, copper and other contaminants.

“What we’re providing, basically, is mountain water,” Vassey says. “So we’re very lucky.”

S.C. college tuitions going up Housing rates and fees are also higher

ter more in tuition. They’ll also pay more for student housing and dining plans, an average of $80 per semester for dining and $167 per semester for housing. Actual cost will depend on the residence hall and meal plan chosen.

“We are committed to protecting the high level of academic quality that our students have come to expect and ensuring that students are able to get the courses they need to graduate on time. Tuition is crucial in funding our efforts to offer the best college experience possible for our students,” Clemson President Jim Clements said in a statement.

“We also are committed to keeping Clemson affordable, and we appreciate the support of the state and leaders of the General Assembly that has enabled us to keep this tuition increase low.”

At the College of Charleston, a popular choice for Greenville County students, tuition is going up 3.5 percent to $11,386 per year for in-state students.

Although Winthrop had one of the lowest tuition increases among South Carolina four-year public schools, it is the most expensive at $14,510 per year.

Tuition and required fees for in-state students at South Carolina’s public colleges and universities are going up around 3 percent for 2016–17.

With the cost of housing and meal plans going up as well at most schools, going to college will take a bigger chunk of out the wallets of South Carolinians. That’s really not news in South Carolina, a state that has seen double-digit tuition increases in the past and also has the highest published average in-state four-year college tuitions in the country.

At the University of South Carolina, instate students will pay 3.25 percent more in tuition in 2016–17, the school’s largest tuition increase in five years. USC’s tuition has increased every year since 1987.

At Clemson University, in-state undergraduate students will pay $218 per semes-

with Vincent Harris

Defying gravity at Gravitopia First things first: Don’t call Gravitopia a “trampoline park.” It’s not. It’s an “Extreme Air Sports” facility, darn it. And yes, there is a difference between bouncing up and down on a backyard trampoline and the various sports and activities that Gravitopia, which opened in September 2013, offers.

“We consider ourselves the leaders in adrenaline,” says Jordan Wade, a VP with CircusTrix, the company that owns Gravitopia.

“We want to give adults and kids these adrenaline-filled sharable experiences. It’s motivation to get off the couch. It takes a lot to pull people away from the Xbox or Netflix. It’s so easy to stay at home and entertain yourself. We want to create these experiences that people want to share with their friends.”

And those experiences are about more than bouncing on the seemingly endless fields of trampolines that cross the floor of Gravitopia’s home off on Brookfield Oaks Drive near Butler Road in Greenville. The facility features two “American Ninja”-style obstacle courses complete with a trapeze, a salmon ladder, monkey bars and silk climbing ropes, several foam pits, two basketball hoops and a dodgeball tournament area. And that’s before you get to the Eurotramp, which as it turns out is not a prog-rock band from the ‘70s but a tightly wound trampoline with the spring power to help you run up and down the walls.

But if you want to bounce in place, that’s fine, too. “It’s what you’re comfortable with,” says Gravitopia’s general manager, Jeff Hall. “There are people that come in here that can do a triple backflip. I can’t, so I just do a single. We had a 60-year-old woman in here with her grandkids last week and she was just jumping by herself and having a great time. We also had a 75-year-old woman on the trapeze. I was super impressed.”

Both Wade and Hall say that the purpose of their setup is to emphasize both fun and physical activity. “We don’t want it to be like, ‘I’m just going to come bounce for a few minutes,’” Wade says. “We want it to be a measurable experience where the first time someone comes, all they could do was bounce around; now they can do a dunk or play dodgeball or

do the ninja course. We’re pushing them to improve themselves, and get in better shape.”

Wade estimates that Gravitopia has added six new attractions since January, and Gravitopia even offers fitness classes that emphasize core strength and cardio.

The dodgeball tournaments are quite popular at Gravitopia, and the most recent one included 17 different teams. The grand prize is $1,000, which, as you might imagine, gets people’s competitive juices flowing. “Those are the most intense thing,” Wade says. “You get guys who are really good athletes who can chuck it and they’re dead set on winning. It’s good fun.”

There is one misconception that Wade wanted to clear up before we finished our conversation, though, perhaps to reassure parents who are reluctant to bring their kids. “The No. 1 myth is that facilities like this are dangerous,” he says.

“If you look at the safety data, you’d see that jumping at one of our parks is by far safer than just about any other sports activity you could participate in. It’s one of the safest activities you can participate in. We have plenty of welltrained staff here, and our rules are to protect kids.”

Sprouting joy with a living roof Rooftop farms. Rooftop gardens. Living roofs.

Green roofs. Roofs with gardens. There are myriad options out there with just as many names. Three years ago, I was a part of a group of young idealists who came together and introduced Greenville to rooftop farming. This was on the grander scale of the spectrum; however, you, the homeowner, can still reap the benefits of installing a green roof on your home, a garden shed or even the dog’s house.

One of the many benefits of having a green roof is reduced heating and cooling costs, as it adds an insulating layer above the roof protecting it from the sun’s heat.

Research published by the National Research Council of Canada shows that this resulting insulating layer can easily cut your summer air conditioning demand by 75 percent. In the winter months, it’ll help cut the heat lost through the roof as well. Imagine your attic being cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter all due to some plants growing on your roof.

A green roof also protects your roofing from the sun’s UV rays, adding another 15 to 20 years to the lifespan of your shingles. A green roof will increase a home’s marketability and increased property value due to the higher efficiency.

Before installing a green living roof onto your existing home, you should have the roof structure checked by an engineer to see if it can withstand the extra weight load associated with the addition of the growing medium and water retention. If you are building a new home, it can be engineered and constructed appropriately to withstand the extra weight.

I would understand if you are not inclined to spend the money to green your home’s roof, but perhaps you can add a living roof to a garden shed or a doghouse. When I built a garden shed this spring, the idea was to create something that was not visible from the street. Using a barn-gray siding and a living roof hides it from neighbors and the street. The added benefit has been a respite from the heat — the inside of the shed is almost 15-20 degrees cooler than the outside climate. A traditional shingle would absorb heat and transfer it to the inside the structure. If you have an outside house for your dog, this is also a great solution.

plants that are perfect for this type of installation. They come in trays at big-box hardware stores. To make my dollar go further, I separated the sedums inside the trays in half and planted the other half in another tray. I then filled the empty half with a lighter soil medium that allows the sedums to spread over time. Underneath the trays I used an aluminum foil and tar flashing material (commonly used to seal around windows and doors) to waterproof the roofing surface.

Around the edges of the roof is a piece of white vinyl lattice with drains at each corner of the roof. The living roof added approximately $45 onto the total cost of the roofing materials, but in the end it makes the birds, beneficial insects and, most importantly, my Master Gardener mom much happier.

Commercial Drone Use Set to Take Flight with Release of FAA Rule

Classic. Timeless. Custom.

From $675K

Exclusive 24 Home Community Historic Augusta Road

Walk to Downtown Greenville, Fluor Field & The Swamp Rabbit Trail (864) 325-6266 • AugustaWalk.com

Commercial drone use in the real estate business got a boost today with the release of the Federal Aviation Administration’s final rule is governing small unmanned aerial systems, or UASs, in the national air space.

Drones are increasingly being used in commercial applications, but federal regulations have required commercial drone operators to apply for a “Section 333” waiver from the FAA before they can fly. Over 5,000 waivers were issued to commercial entities, a significant portion of which were used for the real estate business, but only licensed pilots were eligible to fly commercially.

FAA rules released today create a clearer pathway for real estate professionals to use drones for commercial purposes, a prospect that Len Fletcher, 2016 President of The Greater Greenville Association of REALTORS® and Broker- Associate with RE/ MAX Moves in Simpsonville, SC, called a win for the industry.

“We’ve worked hard to strike a responsible balance that protects the safety and privacy of individuals, while also ensuring real estate professionals can put drones to good use,” said Fletcher. “That effort just took another big step forward. The rules unveiled today will help more real estate professionals take flight, making the efficiency and innovation that drones have to offer available to a much broader base of operators.”

The FAA’s announcement marks a long-fought victory for the National Association of Realtors®. Since early 2014, NAR has worked with the FAA and industry partners to integrate drones into the national airspace for commercial use. NAR wrote to the FAA on numerous occasions to weigh in on the final Small UAS Rule, and testified before Congress to support the use of drones in real estate.

Despite eliminating the requirement that operators hold a pilot’s license, anyone looking to fly drones commercially will still have to comply with strict requirements designed to protect people on the ground.

Drones are useful in a number of real estate-related applications, including marketing properties, assisting with appraisals, facilitating insurance claims and overseeing utility work. While many real estate professionals with pilot’s licenses have already put drones to use in these arenas, the new rules are expected to open the door for additional operators to do the same.

Despite the significant progress made in the FAA’s final rule, NAR’s work on this issue will continue. NAR is calling for eased restrictions on a “micro” category of drones; drones in this category weigh less than four pounds and present a much smaller safety risk than certain drones in the under-55 pound category covered by the rule released today.

NAR also believes there is an ongoing need for a drone strategy that allows for “beyond visual line-of-sight” flights, or those where the operator cannot physically see the drone throughout the entire operation. These flights are particularly important for aerial photography across large buildings or tracts of land.

Fletcher praised the FAA for their efforts in crafting the rule.

“Getting here wasn’t easy, and the FAA is to be commended for listening to the concerns of real estate professionals throughout the rulemaking process,” he said.

“We’re entering a new stage of drone use in real estate, and no doubt there will be additional questions and challenges ahead. NAR will continue educating its members on issues important to the safe, responsible use of drones so they can grow their business and better serve their clients.”

The National Association of Realtors®, “The Voice for Real Estate,” is America’s largest trade association, representing more than 1.1 million members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries.

Greater Greenville Association of REALTORS® represents over 2,300 members in all aspects of the real estate industry. Please visit the Greater Greenville Association of REALTORS® web site at www.ggar.com for real estate and consumer information.

Children’s treasured books find a new life at history museum CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

A child’s mind is not the only place seven beloved picture books will come to life in Greenville this summer.

At the Upcountry History Museum, they’ll come to life in Peter Rabbit’s burrow, a make-believe snow bank that’s a perfect spot to make a snow angel when it’s 90-plus degrees outside and a “Tuesday” town overtaken by frogs.

It’s part of “Storyland: A Trip Through Childhood Favorites,” a traveling exhibition

that originated at the Minnesota Children’s Museum designed to help develop literacy skills in the younger set — children ages 2 to 7.

“The goal of our education program is to teach history,” said Elizabeth McSherry, the museum’s director of programs. “A 2-yearold is not ready to learn history, but they are old enough to start learning literacy skills. We want to build their excitement for the written word so that when they’re old enough to start learning about history, they’ll love reading about history.”

For those children and adults who already know how to read, the exhibit provides a

history of children’s literature, from the instruction manual-like books from the 18th and 19th centuries to the big, colorful books of the 20th and 21st centuries, McSherry said.

The exhibit features such children’s classics as Beatrix Potter’s “The Tale of Peter Rabbit,” Ezra Jack Keats’ “The Snow Day” and Eric Hill’s “Where’s Spot?” The exhibit also includes Arthur Dorros’ “Abuela,” Laura Numeroff’s “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie,” David Weisner’s “Tuesday” and “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom,” a book by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault.

High-def jams The pair behind Mauldin’s HDI Records weren’t always hip-hop fans, but now they’re “here to stay” VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR

vharris@communityjournals.com

There are all kinds of stories in the music world that begin with, “I loved this kind of music since I was 2 years old, and I knew from the beginning that that’s what I was going to do when I grew up.” But for Micah Davis and Jon Hargrove, co-owners of Mauldin’s HDI Jon Hargrove Records, that’s not the case. The two men joined forces in 2012 to bring Upstate rappers, hip-hop producers and DJs together and give them a way to get their work heard,

but they weren’t lifelong hip-hop fans.

“We are a generation raised by baby boomers,” says Hargrove, 23. “There was no point during childhood where hip-hop was introduced to us by anyone. It was a genre to be discovered.”

“It wasn’t something that came early for me,” says Davis, also 23. “I was never encouraged to aspire towards it or given the chance to explore it as a child. My background was practicing cello five out of seven days a week and memorizing compositions for recitals or youth orchestra performances. It was through a friend during high school that I began to meet and collaborate musically with local hip-hop artists that sparked my interest into the genre.”

But once they were exposed to it, both men were hooked. “What spoke to me as a musician was the universal power and ap-

background. It doesn’t take an expert to see that rapping is a diary in musical form. The stories, the pain, the success, the highs and lows... as a producer, I can’t find a genre more diversified or capturing as hip-hop.”

Since forming HDI (which stands for “Hi-Def Innovative”) in 2012, Davis and Hargrove have brought on a plethora of rappers, DJs and producers from the Upstate, including Kozu Nova, Mashio, King Casso, Droc, Rick Da Rula, Cook the Rook and Fat Zech. The music they’ve created at their recording studio in Mauldin ranges from the

moody, multigenre instrumentals that Nova concocts to Mashio’s more jittery, dancemusic influenced tracks to King Casso’s confident, swaggering raps.

“I think we as hip-hop artists in the Upstate have to fight harder to have the same opportunities that say maybe a singer/songwriter would have,” Davis says, “because there is a stigma around hip-hop music. Our goal is to offer the city the safest yet the most fun musical events as possible. We feel like it’s part of our mission to prove that hiphop can be as safe and as profitable as rock.

While never turning our back on or pushing aside any other genre.”

Ultimately both Davis and Hargrove, who are currently touring with their roster and special guests as the No Days Off tour, see the Upstate’s music scene as roomier (and more diverse) than some might think.

“There’s room for everybody to grow as artists and develop their talent,” Hargrove says.

“The real motivation comes from seeing so many artists and musicians like us who want the same changes for hip-hop in the Upstate,” Davis says. “Since we created the label, we’ve seen major improvements in the relationships between hip-hop artists and the city. But there’s so much more to do, and we are here to stay in the Upstate to see it happen.”

Must-See Movies By Eric Rogers

anti-drug film ever made. It follows the story of four different people who have various kinds of addictions that include heroin, diet pills and prescriptions drugs. There is no happy ending in this film as the four main characters sink into the depths of despair.

Despite the depressing subject matter, the film is brilliantly shot and edited. Aronofsky’s style often features the use of unusual camera placement to make viewers feel as if they are seeing something from a perspective they have never before considered. The soundtrack, by Clint Mansell, is one of the most memorable and haunting scores I can think of. In fact, it was used again for the trailer for “The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.”

Before Aronofsky was making expensive high concept films like “Noah,” he was making small intense psychological dramas like “Pi” and “Requiem for a Dream.” This films stars Ellen Burstyn, Jennifer Connelly, Marlon Wayans and Jared Leto. The film is probably the best

It is particularly timely in light of the rise of people like Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. Supporters of both politicians will likely find this film interesting as he lays out the systematic plan underway to eliminate democracy and place power in the hands of a ruling elite — as the Founders intended, he explains.

one of the opening lines from this documentary featuring one of America’s most notable intellectuals, Noam Chomsky. Chomsky is a professor of linguistics at MIT but is best known for his views on international politics. He refers to himself as an anarchist, and his books and lectures offer biting criticism for many world leaders from a variety of political parties.

Many films about Chomsky are just lectures that

The film ends with Chomsky quoting his friend Howard Zinn the historian, who stated, “What matters is the countless small deeds of unknown people who lay the basis for the significant events that enter history. They are the ones who have done it in the past. They are the ones who will have to do it in the future.”

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

Upstate artist Darell Koons, BJU teacher, dies at 91 EMILY PIETRAS | ASSOCIATE EDITOR

epietras@communityjournals.com

Courtesy of Hampton III Gallery

Renowned Upstate artist Darell Koons, whose paintings of landscapes and barns were often compared to the works of realist painter Andrew Wyeth, died Tuesday at age 91.

Born in Albion, Mich., in 1924, Koons graduated from Bob Jones University in 1951 with a bachelor’s degree in art. In 1955, he received his Master of Arts degree in art education from Western Michigan University. Koons taught at Bob Jones University for more than 40 years before retiring in 2000.

“His tenure at Bob Jones Darell Koons inspired hundreds, if not thousands, of students now located throughout the world. He was absolutely committed to being sure that young artists had a place at the table,” said Alan Ethridge, executive director of Greenville’s

Metropolitan Arts Council. “He will be greatly missed, but his influence will be palpable for many years to come.”

Throughout an illustrious career, Koons’ works were showcased at more than 45 solo exhibitions and dozens of group exhibitions, mainly across the Southeast.

He had a significant presence in the Carolinas, with his works appearing in several Upstate venues, including the Greenville County Museum of Art, the Hampton III Gallery in Taylors, Bob Jones University, North Greenville University and Wofford College.

Koons once stated of his works, “An artist must know something about his subject, or he will surely have difficulty painting it.

A Cup of Coffee and A Second Opinion The reality of investing is that markets go up – and they also go down. Virtually any investment involves some level of risk, so it’s very important that investors understand how they feel about risk.

We invite you to make a quick appointment with us in the next week or two for a cup of coffee and a second opinion.

We will review your holdings along with your goals and objectives. If we think your investments are well-suited to your long-term goals – in spite of the current market turmoil – we’ll gladly tell you so and send you on your way.

If, on the other hand, we think some of your investments no longer fit your goals, we’ll explain why, in plain English, and we’ll even recommend some alternatives.

Either way, the coffee is on us. We hope to hear from you soon.

CULTURE Huangry Sensual and Not-So-Sensual Meals with Andrew Huang

Sound Check Notes on the Music Scene with Vincent Harris

The jagged sounds of Greenville’s Gláss

Taco tango The place // Tipsy Taco The order // The Kahuna Tuna, Drunken Piggy, Veg Head and Old School Tacos What’s in a name? Well, if you’re Shakespeare, probably some nonsense about love and Capulets and Montagues. But I’m no Shakespeare, and this ain’t “Romeo and Juliet.”

Still, it’s a pretty good question. When it comes to restaurants, I think names can play a big role in setting expectations. Take, for example, when my friend Emily suggested eating at Tipsy Taco, a new neighborhood spot in the Pelham Commons shopping center.

“That sounds like the kind of place where you make the wrong kinds of mistakes,” I thought.

But upon reflection, it also sounds like the best place to make those mistakes. Because when a restaurant is named Tipsy Taco, you know from the get-go that it doesn’t take itself too seriously. I mean, if we’re ascribing significance to word order, tacos aren’t even the main draw. Being tipsy is.

Granted, even if the name suggests that this restaurant isn’t a serious #foodie joint, it still needs to have decent food. There’s no greater buzzkill than bad food, bad drinks and the hangovers that result from bad food and bad drinks.

In that regard, the Tipsy Taco is a bit of a mixed bag. To start, Emily and I had pretty disappointing incarnations of sangria. Mine was essentially a goblet of white wine and three raspberries; Emily’s was the same, but with red wine. Our subsequent cocktails were much improved: better than haphazardly mixed drinks at Carolina Ale House, but certainly a step down from Greenville’s best craft cocktails.

the only discernible flavor. It’s not the worst thing in the world — especially if you’re like me and enjoy both Sriracha and mayonnaise — it’s just not terribly satisfying beyond a few bites. The Drunken Piggy’s blend of beerbraised pork and pineapple habanero sauce — basically Hawaiian pizza in taco form — was similarly good if unremarkable.

Ultimately, because I know this place isn’t pretending to have the best food or best drinks in town, I feel the letdowns are less significant than they might otherwise be. Add in the really solid selection of tacos, a location away from downtown Greenville with plenty of parking and a huge selection of tequilas, and you have a pretty solid neighborhood bar. It might not blow your mind, but it’s plenty good enough.

Pros + Solid taco options at a variety of price points. You can have a fancy $7.50 lobster taco, all the way down to a basic ground beef taco for $2.75.

Luckily, there’s better news on the food front.

Emily and I sampled four of the 16 listed tacos: the Kahuna Tuna, the Drunken Piggy, the Veg Head and the Old School. They were all generously proportioned and generally unobjectionable. It’s hard to screw up a taco, after all. Some of them even managed to surprise.

+ Delightfully kitschy name and décor seems to give you permission to be a little silly.

The Veg Head’s roasted cauliflower, lemon yogurt and smashed black beans were a really nice, substantial take on a vegetarian taco. It was perhaps a dash of cumin away from a really interesting Moroccan vibe. The Old School taco — seasoned ground beef, cheese, lettuce and sour cream — reminded me of grocery store DIY taco kits, in the best way possible. Simple and gratifying, with a splash of childhood nostalgia thrown in for good measure.

- The sangria. Where’d all the fruit go?

The Kahuna Tuna, with its splendidly seared tuna, was one-note, with Sriracha mayo being

+ Over 60 varieties of tequila, if that’s your thing.

On their new album, “Accent,” the Greenville trio Gláss creates a sound that’s somehow both massive and basic. Repeated guitar figures, elliptical, fragmented lyrics and pulsing rhythms feed songs that are infectiously melodic. But the trio can shift gears on a dime, moving from blissfully languid verses to jarring, jagged instrumental passages. The lyrics are more impressionistic than narrative, like a Morse code of disassociated phrases surfacing throughout.

“I’ll go to my hometown,” singer/guitarist Aaron Burke sings dispassionately over and over on the opening track, “Hometown.” But there’s no comfort in his determination. Burke seems weary and disconnected. On the throbbing, strobe-like “Hotel/Motel,” Burke intones nightmarish lines (“I’m not cold enough for you / And I’ve lost most of my teeth”) moments before insisting, “It’s not as bad as it seems.”

Those feelings of uncertainty and unease came naturally to the 21-year-old Burke. He’s spent most of the last four years adjusting to his new life after moving from Scotland to America with his mother and stepfather.

“The move affected me hugely,” he says, “and I tried to convey the distant and uncomfortable feelings that I had about it in this record. Really, for the past two years, my move to America has been the main subject I’ve written about.”

In order to combat the sense of isolation, Burke took solace in music, the only thing that felt familiar. He started going to as many Upstate shows as he could. “I’d go to Radio Room like five times a week,” he says. “I’d still have the stamp on my hand from the night before.”

Through those shows, he met people like Gláss’ eventual rhythm section, drummer Sam Goldsmith and bassist Ary Davani.

“I knew Sam because he was playing in The Francis Vertigo,” Burke says. “I had the feeling that we had similar tastes, so we ended up talking and planning to play together. We

Where: Radio Room 2845 N. Pleasantburg Drive Tickets: $5 21 and over / $7 under Info: 263-7868; radioroomgreenville.com hung out for a long time before we actually played. Then I met Ary at a show at Cabin Floor Records and asked if he wanted to play with us and see how it went. I was just lucky to meet people that I felt comfortable playing around.”

In addition to Gláss, Burke plays solo acoustic shows occasionally, and has another project called Ice Cream Social, with which he creates experimental electronic music. But he says that playing with the band has proven the best outlet for unifying his various musical influences.

“Playing in a band, that’s always something I wanted to do,” he says. “I can’t do everything on my own, and I wouldn’t want to. It’s kind of nice to have people around to set me straight when the idea’s too crazy, to have two more heads to bounce ideas off.”

In fact, Burke’s experience with Gláss has been the opposite of what you might expect. Instead of feeling like he has less room to express himself, Burke feels freer. “In the past, I’d tried to compartmentalize all of my different musical ideas and styles,” he says. “But playing guitar in my bedroom, without a drummer, it’s really hard to build a song that isn’t quite there yet. The band helps me try things in different ways and put things together.”

CULTURE Sound Bites LORDS OF MACE W/ WHISKEY MACHINE Gottrocks, 200 Eisenhower Drive, Greenville Friday, July 1, 9 p.m. $8 in advance/$10 day of show The first word that comes to mind upon hearing Winston-Salem’s Lords of Mace is “heavy.” The guitars are lowtoned, roaring Earth-movers; the rhythm section is cranked to ribcage-shattering levels; and singer Mike Bright’s voice is a howl of pure menace that’s so manly it has its own beard. Their new self-titled EP is a five-song onslaught of Southern stoner rock in the Kyuss mode, though Bright hears a little more than that in the band’s writing. “There’s a little bit of Kyuss, but there’s also a little Clutch and some Molly Hatchet,” he says. “It’s a mishmash of things that we really like.” The band came together from various groups last year. “We’ve all been in different bands around Winston-Salem, and everybody’s band has played with everybody else’s band,” Bright says.

THE BROADCAST Piedmont Natural Gas Downtown Alive NOMA Square, Main Street, Greenville Thursday, July 7, 5:30 p.m.

Free By definition, Asheville’s The Broadcast is an indie rock band. There’s no major label in sight on their new record, “From the Horizon.” But that’s all semantics, because what the album is really about is a crowd-pleasing showstopper of a group. From the relentless rock rhythms of the aptly titled opener, “Steamroller,” the band is a confident ensemble playing one polished gem after another. A few tracks are straight-ahead rock, a few mix in some funk and soul, but regardless of the tune, singer Caitlin Krisko is a sly, sensual force of nature. “I think that this record being our sophomore effort, it was a crossroads for us,” she says. “We sat down and said, ‘Where is this band going? Where do we want to take it? How do we want to get there?’ And making a great record that people wanted to hear made the most sense. The goal was to break through the glass ceiling of the grassroots independent artist circuit.”

BANDCAMP 2, FEATURING ACTUAL SOMETHING, BIZNESS SUIT, DABLES, SOLAIRE, THE REASON YOU STAYED, FLOCO TORRES, THE INDOOR KIDS & SUN BROTHER Soundbox Tavern, 507 W. Georgia Road, Simpsonville Saturday, July 2, 6 p.m. $8 Zebraylon Woodruff, who serves both as singer/guitarist for the band Sun Brother and as the organizer of last year’s multi-act Bandcamp show, might be the only festival organizer ever to think smaller for his second time around.

“Smaller” being a relative term when there are eight bands on the bill, that is. “Last year we did Bandcamp during the summer at the Soundbox Tavern, and it was a blast,” Woodruff says. “But this year I wanted to make the focus a bit tighter and feature some artists that I have enjoyed playing with from North Carolina, South Carolina and Dables Georgia.” And it wasn’t just about the music, which veers all over the map from punk (The Indoor Kids) to rap (Floco Torres). “All of these bands are easy to work with and friendly and awesome in their respective genres,” Woodruff says. “I definitely just wanted to create an atmosphere where music lovers can come and enjoy artists that they haven’t heard of before.”

Swannoanoa Chamber Music Festival is back CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Some world-class chamber musicians will perform in Greenville this month as the Swannanoa Chamber Music Festival returns for the second year.

The Swannanoa Chamber Music Festival, one of the oldest music festivals in the U.S., will hold concerts at the Fine Arts Center on Mondays from July 4 through July 25.

The festival also holds concerts at Warren Wilson College in Swannanoa, N.C., and the Haywood Theatre in Waynesville, N.C. The festival expanded to Greenville last year thanks to a grant from the Elbert W. Rogers Foundation and other private sponsors and was well received.

July Fourth’s concert, fittingly titled “American,” features the Enso String Quartet

and Inessa Zaretsky, the artistic director of the festival, on piano.

On July 11, a program called “Metamorphoses” features Itamar Zorman on the violin, Raman Ramakrishman on cello, Keve Wilson on the oboe and Zaretsky. Zorman is a Tchaikovsky Competition winner.

The July 18 program “Sketches” will feature the Jasper String Quartet: Lynn Hileman, bassoon; Wilson, oboe; William Hoyt, horn; and Zaretsky. Wilson is the solo oboist with the Grammy-nominated Absolute Ensemble and the oboist in the Tony Awardwinning Broadway show “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder.”

The festival’s last concert on July 25 features the Jasper String Quartet: Mario Gotoh, violin; Andrew Janss, cello; and Zaretsky. Gotoh is the violinist and violist on the Grammy Award-winning Broadway show and album “Hamilton.” She also frequently performs with pop stars on television.

The musicians remain “in-residence” at Warren Wilson College during the

month.

“Because of the intense musical demands of ensemble music, the opportunity to work and live together in a residential setting allows for the highest possible standard of excellence,” Beth Lee, one of the local sponsors of the festival, said in a release.

Zaretsky said the musicians love what they do.

“It is most gratifying to experience the growing enthusiasm and appreci-

BACK PAGE COMMUNITY VOICES Life Lessons from a Dog Trainer with Connie Cleveland

3 rules of relationships for pets and people Every month, another 40-plus pet owners enter our dog-training facility. They are nervous that their dogs will be ill behaved, and anxious about their own ability to train them.

As each new group begins, I make certain that all the instructors remember the three basics of building relationships among the dogs, the owners and ourselves.

1. Get behind the eyes of another, and see the world as he does.

I received a video of a 9-week-old puppy exhibiting intense aggression. The puppy was chewing a rawhide, and a gloved hand reached in to take it from him. He ferociously attacked, snarling, attempting to shake the glove, and eventually holding on with such force he was lifted off his feet.

I agreed to meet the puppy, and upon arrival, he trotted into the building, tail wagging and offering completely appropriate behaviors for a puppy his age.

I explained to the owner that when one puppy tries to steal from another, aggression is a reasonable response. When we naively reach for an object possessed by a dog, from his point of view, he has two options: acquiesce and give it up, or defend it. It took no time to teach the puppy that when a person came near him, he was to give up the object and back up, offering his prize.

It seemed reasonable from our human experience that the puppy should allow us to remove the bone. That was not appropriate from the canine point of view.

That principle applies to knowing the perspectives of the people I teach. Once, a woman’s dog growled at me as I approached.

I simply took the dog’s leash and walked him away from her, and he was soon allowing me to pet him. The owner was in tears. I explained that her dog’s intention was to keep me away, but I wanted to be sure he knew that his growling would not work. I learned that the owner had previously owned a very aggressive dog and her tears came from fear that she might have another dog that behaved the same way.

2. Find a character trait about your student that you like.

The owner entered to sign her dog up for training. She suggested we go outside to get him, because his aggression was so intense that she was afraid to try to remove him from the car.

Expecting a large and ferocious encounter, we approached the car to find a 14-pound dog sitting in her husband’s lap. He said he could not

touch the dog for fear of being bitten.

All the trainers here know the rule, “If you cannot tell me something you like about this dog, you are not allowed to train him.”

There was very little to like about our first encounter with Titan. However, without fanfare, we simply took his leash, pulled him out of the car and brought him into school.

We took a very no-nonsense approach. As much as we wanted to understand why he behaved the way he did, we all agreed it did not matter. He simply could not treat us, or anyone else, in such socially unacceptable ways. By the end of the week the owners were stunned to see the change in his behavior.

Likewise, one of my favorite fifth-grade teachers started a school year telling me about the size of the file on one of her incoming students.

“I simply stopped reading it,” she told me. “It will color my opinion of that child, and I am determined, within the first week, to find at least three things about him that I absolutely adore.”

Abraham Lincoln is credited with the quote, “I don’t like that man. I must get to know him better.” What a lovely attitude.

3. Assume ignorance.

At the most stressful times of our lives, people say the dumbest things. We can all tell tales about what others have said or done when we were in the depths of grief or despair.

Rev. Jake Foglio, a longtime family friend, was quick to counsel that we should assume ignorance, referring to John 23:34: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”

When I hear owners complain about their dogs by saying, “He knows he shouldn’t…” I pay attention. Dogs do not purposefully do what they know will irritate or enrage us. They are dogs, and they do dog things.

Chewing our possessions, digging holes and urinating on the carpet are all behaviors that are completely natural to the dog — perhaps as natural as we find it to talk instead of listen, judge instead of consider another’s perspective and dislike instead of getting to know each better.
