OPINION
Views from your community
It’s time for South Carolina’s leaders to talk about real issues By Paul Hyde Now that the primary election has blessedly concluded, can we talk about some real issues here in South Carolina? Can we talk about 550 classrooms without teachers, about one of the highest gun murder rates in the nation, and about 450,000 South Carolinians lacking health insurance? It’s often said that South Carolina government operates by crisis. State lawmakers will rouse themselves from their habitual stupor only when the crisis stage has been reached. In the recent primary election, however, many candidates blithely ignored even our current state crises. The Republican runoff election between Gov. Henry McMaster and John Warren seemed to center on whether the two candidates sufficiently opposed abortion, supported guns, and loved President Donald Trump. Perhaps the lowest point was a TV ad by McMaster ludicrously linking Warren to Hillary Clinton with a witch-like photo of Clinton and the sound of a woman cackling like a demon. Enough already. Let’s talk about three real issues that should become a central part of public discussions as we head toward the November general election. Teacher shortage. Because of low teacher pay, South Carolina is facing an escalating teacher shortage. Public schools began the 2017-18 school year with about 550 teaching vacancies unfilled. By a conservative estimate, that means 13,000 South Carolina students started the year with no teacher in the classroom. School administrators say they can’t attract teachers, especially the best teachers, with low pay. State lawmakers may eke out a 2 percent pay raise for teachers this year, but teacher pay in South Carolina will still lag behind the 16-state Southeastern average, according to the S.C. Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Office. For years, state lawmakers proudly pegged teacher pay to the Southeastern average to remain at least regionally competitive. Education advocates, for their part, often pleaded with lawmakers to set their sights higher, upping pay to the national average.
Speak your mind
But now, lawmakers won’t even increase pay to the Southeastern average. Currently, the state falls $2,200 below the Southeastern average in pay and $10,000 below the national average, reports The (Charleston) Post and Courier. Higher pay would allow the state to attract the best and brightest educators. Teachers are central to the goal of building a world-class system of public education in South Carolina. We’re not going to achieve that goal on the cheap.
Can we talk about 550 classrooms without teachers, about one of the highest gun murder rates in the nation, and about 450,000 South Carolinians lacking health insurance? Gun violence. South Carolina had the 10th highest gun murder rate among the 50 states in the nation in 2016, the latest year for which statistics are available, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The stories you see in your newspaper or on TV of daily carnage are true and tragic. Some sort of sensible gun laws in South Carolina would be welcome, such as imposing longer waiting periods, regulating gun shows, restricting sales of assault-style weapons, approving child-access prevention laws, and requiring background checks prior to the transfer of firearms between unlicensed individuals. Those things may not happen in gun-happy South Carolina, but state lawmakers can’t just sweep crime under the rug. They have the responsibility to propose meaningful solutions to the state’s high gun murder rate. They might start by providing more support for local law enforcement.

Health insurance. The Kaiser Family Foundation reported in 2016, the latest year for which statistics are available, that an estimated 448,200 South Carolinians did not have health insurance — a 9 percent uninsured rate. The organization also estimates that 13 percent of adults ages 19-64 in 2016 were uninsured, compared to a national average of 12 percent. U.S. News & World Report ranks South Carolina No. 41 out of 50 in how well states are meeting citizens’ health care needs. States such as South Carolina that have refused to expand Medicaid have the highest uninsured rates in the nation. South Carolina’s leaders turn away millions of our federal taxpayer dollars, saying they don’t need the federal government’s help to solve our uninsured crisis. But they never offer their own plans to fix the problem. It’s a rotten way for state leaders to treat the residents of their own state. Fixing all this will cost money, of course, but in this strong economy, Gov. Henry McMaster has claimed that the state will enjoy a surplus of $2.2 billion over the next five years. If McMaster is correct, there should be plenty of money available to address these problems. The governor, unfortunately, has proposed handing out the money in tax cuts. Our state, of course, is plagued by dozens of other problems: deadly roads, unsecure schools, a struggling social services system, low test scores, low graduation rates, low average educational attainment, low pay for first responders, high rates of cancer mortality, low average wages, a yawning gender wage gap, and high poverty rates — to mention just a few of the ongoing trainwrecks in our state. These are urgent, difficult issues, and politicians may not want to deal with them. It’s up to voters to keep South Carolina’s politicians focused — and hold them accountable.

The latest version of Lockheed Martin’s F-16 fighter jet will be built in the Upstate. The Maryland-based aerospace and defense company announced on Tuesday, June 26, that it has received a $1.12 billion contract from the U.S. government to produce 16 advanced F-16 Block 70 Fighting Falcons for the Royal Bahraini Air Force. Lockheed said production of the fighter jets will take place at its 16-hangar facility at the South Carolina Technology and Aviation Center in southern Greenville County. “We value our long-standing relationship with the Kingdom of Bahrain and look forward to beginning production activities on their first Block 70 aircraft at our facility in Greenville,” Susan Ouzts, vice president of Lockheed Martin’s F-16 program, said in a news release. “This sale highlights the significant, growing demand we see for new production of F-16s around the globe.” As the Upstate Business Journal reported, Lockheed announced plans last year to relocate its F-16 production line from Fort Worth, Texas, to Greenville to accommodate the F-35, a fifth-generation fighter jet with stealth capabilities. Don Erickson, site director for Lockheed’s Greenville operations, said the company plans to modify an existing 110,000-square-foot hangar and hire up to 200 people during the third quarter of 2018 to support the F-16 contract. Production will begin with one aircraft a month but could expand to two a month should Lockheed sell the F-16 Block 70 to other countries, Erickson added. The company is currently anticipating orders from Indonesia and Colombia. Lockheed is also working to secure a contract with the Indian government that would reportedly involve the purchase of 200 fighter jets. The company’s Greenville facility would assemble some of the initial aircraft if the deal happens, according to spokesperson John Losinger. The remaining work, however, would probably occur in India due to a partnership between Lockheed and the aerospace and defense arm of the Tata Group, India’s leading global enterprise. The contract would also allow India to export its F16s, which means India could end up competing with Lockheed’s Greenville operations for any work to upgrade about 3,200 F-16s currently in use by various countries, according to Defense News.

Photo by PRNewsfoto/Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Richard Aboulafia, an analyst with Teal Group, an aerospace consultancy in Fairfax, Va., told the Upstate Business Journal last year that he doesn’t expect Greenville to produce many of the supersonic jets. “The F-16’s only real hope for a sustainable line is an India order, and that means building in India,” he said. Nonetheless, Lockheed expects its F-16 production line to generate strong sales over the coming years. The company’s first-quarter sales in aeronautics jumped $278 million, or 7 percent, to $4.4 billion in part due to higher volume on modernization activities for the F-16 program. Lockheed said the F-16 Block 70 aircraft is fitted with advanced avionics, a proven active electronically scanned array radar, advanced weapons, conformal fuel tanks, and an automatic ground collision avoidance system. It also features an upgraded cockpit and advanced engine, as well as an extended structural service life of 12,000 hours. To date, a total of 4,604 F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jets have been purchased by 28 customers worldwide, according to Air Force Technology. About 3,000 of those aircraft are flying today. “Lockheed Martin has more than 36 years of weapon-integration experience with the F-16,” according to the company’s website. “No other organization can match this weapons-integration experience. In concert with the U.S. Air Force and multiple F-16 Foreign Military Sales customers, Lockheed Martin has certified more than 3,300 carriage and release configurations for greater than 180 weapon and store types. Our experience as a weapon integrator has enabled the F-16 to be one of the most versatile multirole fighters ever.”

Dominion Realty Partners has closed on the purchase of The Ogletree Building, a 61,047-square-foot Class A office building located at 300 N. Main St. in downtown Greenville, marking the real estate organization’s first foray into the local market. The property underwent various renovations and updates in 2016 and was 100 percent occupied by a variety of financial services and law firms at the time of sale. CBRE’s Patrick Gildea, Tripp Sellers, and Matt Smith represented the seller, a general partnership operating under the name Three Hundred North Main, in the transaction. The property is one of only a handful of buildings in the Greenville central business district that includes its own dedicated, adjacent parking garage, creating an attractive tenant amenity and the potential for additional future development. “DRP is extremely excited to enter the Greenville market with the acquisition of The Ogletree Building,” said Beau McIntosh, partner with DRP. “Market office fundamentals continue to remain strong, as demonstrated by 100 percent occupancy in our building, and we are confident that Greenville’s economic growth will continue on its recent trajectory.” DRP’s investment in Greenville extends the geography of its value-add office acquisition strategy, adding to other recent acquisitions across the region in Raleigh and Durham, N.C., and Richmond and Virginia Beach, Va. “DRP is actively seeking new acquisition and development opportunities, as we continue to grow and expand our portfolio and enter additional markets across the region,” McIntosh said. Dominion Realty Partners is a full-service real estate organization providing development, management, leasing, acquisition, and investment services, with offices in Raleigh, Richmond, and Charlotte, N.C.

CITY SEEKS FEEDBACK ON WADE HAMPTON BOULEVARD PLAN
A survey on the strategic plan for Wade Hampton Boulevard asks respondents a variety of questions, including what kind of businesses residents would like to see on the road. Will Crooks / Greenville Journal CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF
clandrum@communityjournals.com
While some may see dated strip shopping centers and vacant lots on the stretch of Wade Hampton Boulevard from downtown to North Pleasantburg Drive, others see potential — and a lot of it. Arnett Muldrow & Associates, the Greenville-based consulting firm hired by the city to come up with a strategic plan for Wade Hampton, has created a survey to get public input into the plan.
For more information about the study and a link to the survey, visit https://bit.ly/2KrJ6Gp. The city portion runs from downtown to North Pleasantburg Drive. The survey asks about the importance and attractiveness of Wade Hampton Boulevard, whether respondents frequent businesses in the study area, and what are the most important assets, challenges, and opportunities there. In
addition, the survey asks respondents what they want to see on the road: locally owned businesses, national retailers, locally owned restaurants, chain restaurants, offices, gas stations and convenience stores, national hotels, single-family residences, and multifamily residential. Respondents are asked if they want to add a 10-foot shared-use path or narrow four of the six traffic lanes by 1 foot each to create a wider median with landscaping that would allow for clearly marked left turns and encouraged U-turns.
In addition, the survey asks whether the White Oak cut-through near White Oak Baptist Church should be eliminated and whether pedestrian-vehicle conflicts and confusing vehicle movements at Bob Jones University should be addressed. In the plan, the consultant will identify a minimum of three redevelopment or strategic projects, which could consist of multiple properties or nodes, on which the city could concentrate to boost future development. The consultant would then develop conceptual plans for each to show what it may look like.
New entrance. New reception. Same warm welcome. There’s a big, beautiful expansion about to take shape. With more independent living options, more dining, more lounges, more activity rooms, and more ways to enjoy life than ever before.

Pushing Back Building affordable housing on city-owned property around Unity Park is Greenville’s way to counter rising housing costs and gentrification
Words by Cindy Landrum | Photo by Will Crooks
A
rguably the city owns some of the most valuable and developable land in Greenville — 25 acres just a couple of blocks away from the new Unity Park. The city plans to use that land for new affordable housing to counter rising property values and housing costs around the park and in the surrounding neighborhoods near downtown that some say are squeezing out lowerincome and working-class residents. “We have a unique opportunity to put a check on the market and rising values because we own the edges of the park,” Mayor Knox White said. “We can push back.” Unity Park will build on 60 acres bordered by Hudson, Mayberry, and Meadow streets with an estimated cost of $40 million, half coming from the city and half coming from private and corporate fundraising. The first phase of the park is expected to open in 2020. Unity Park’s purpose is twofold — to provide needed green space and to give an economic boost to an area of the city that has thus far been largely left out of the growth Greenville has seen over recent years. “Any time a new baseball stadium or park is built, you hope it will be a catalyst for development, but it also raises property values around it,” White said. “It’s a dilemma everybody’s dealing with.” The development has come sooner than the city expected. It took a few years for the area around Fluor Field
to develop. After Falls Park was built, it was a year or two before RiverPlace was built. But investors and developers flocked to the Unity Park area years before the park was officially approved. Some residential units near the park sold for $600,000, proving the value of the land the city is donating, White said.
“We need to make sure it remains a place for everyone.” Mary Duckett “There’s no speculation that the land we’re donating is valuable,” he said. “The market has already tested it.” Mary Duckett, president of the neighborhood association for Southernside, one of the neighborhoods that borders the park, said now that city funding and a name for the park have been decided, she’s shifting her concerns to how the community protects its residents and maintain its identity.
“We need to make sure it remains a place for everyone,” she said.
What is affordable housing? By federal government definition, affordable housing is housing that takes no more than 30 percent of a household’s income. The Census Bureau’s 2012-16 American Community Survey shows nearly 34 percent of city of Greenville residents exceed that level. That’s because, within the city, incomes have not kept up with increasing housing costs and escalating property prices, said Ginny Stroud, the city’s community development administrator. Don Oglesby, executive director of the nonprofit affordable housing developer Homes for Hope, said he wishes that people would stop thinking about affordable housing as something they can see. “When most people hear the phrase affordable housing, they think of a mill village, or a HUD [Housing and Urban Development] high-rise or a blighted area. Nobody wants that,” he said. Instead, Oglesby said housing for the city’s low- to moderate-income households should be incorporated into neighborhoods. “From the outside looking in, you shouldn’t be able to tell affordable housing from market-rate housing. It might be smaller, but you shouldn’t be able to tell a difference in

quality,” he said. “Mixed-income housing can and does work. [The city] can mandate that. They own the land.”
Seeking proposals A specific number of affordable housing units for the city land has not yet been identified. A market study conducted as part of the park planning recommended between 2,000 and 2,200 residential units in the larger study area, Stroud said. Five hundred of those would be affordable, she said. Several affordable housing projects in the Southernside community are currently either in the planning or exploratory stages, Stroud said. The city expects to issue a request for proposals for the land it owns near the park by early next year. White said they’d be looking for new ideas and creative designs for affordable housing before deciding to whom it will sell or donate the land. New ideas could include ways to get more density on the land closest to the park, he said. Oglesby said nonprofit affordable housing developers should be part of the conversation because they have been making the numbers work for new affordable units when for-profit developers can’t. “A lot of people are talking about affordable housing, but they’re not talking to us about how we can solve the problem,” Oglesby said. Nonprofit affordable housing developers pay the same price for bricks as forprofit developers do, he said. The difference in nonprofits being able to make the numbers work is that they get some money that doesn’t need to be paid back, or is paid back at lower interest rates. “The hospitality industry should be investing in affordable housing themselves,” he said. “They can get a return on their money, but they have to be patient. They may not get a return on their money for 15 years because I’ve got to pay back the note and then I can pay them back. But if they donate $10,000, they never see that money again and it’s one house. A lot of these ideas are not new. They’re just new to South Carolina.” White said there’s a possibility the city may sell some of its land on Mayberry Street and use the money to facilitate affordable-housing construction on other land it owns near the park. The mayor said he expects the city to focus on increasing affordable housing for seniors so people in the neighborhood can stay there. MKSK, a consulting firm the city hired to do the master plan for the park and the surrounding Reedy River corridor, has said the city can encourage more affordable housing

through policies and regulations such as a community character code, inclusionary zoning, and waived fees. Oglesby said the city must be as intentional about the affordable housing aspect of the park as it was with the park’s components. “We can’t blow this opportunity,” Oglesby said.

Greenville has new tool in push for affordable housing Greenville has a new tool in its push for construction of new and preservation of existing affordable housing units. The South Carolina Bailey Bill authorizes local governments to offer a special property tax assessment for rehabilitation of historic properties and low- and moderate-income rental properties. The city had already had an ordinance that allowed for the rehabilitated historic property special assessment, and it passed the low- to moderate-income rental provision last month. “Because land appropriate for residential development within the city is limited, it is essential that the city implement tools that will encourage the rehabilitation of housing units that are affordable to residents and working people with low to moderate incomes,” the ordinance said. Under the ordinance, properties can qualify for the special assessment in two ways — by providing Section 8 housing or, if it is producing low- to moderateincome housing, the cost of rehabilitation exceeds the appraised value of the property.
The special assessment is good for 10 years. The Greenville City Council can extend that to up to 20 years if the rehabilitation is extensive in scale and scope, and if the city determines the longer tax freeze will “foster the economic viability of the surrounding community and is in the best interest of the city.” The first project expected to take advantage of the tax break is the Greenville Summit, a 101-unit apartment building serving low-income seniors and the disabled at the corner of West Washington and River streets. The owners are expected to spend $1.5 million. Ginny Stroud, the city’s community development coordinator, said the owners of two other low- to moderate-income apartment buildings could take advantage of the new property tax assessment. The owners of Stratham Place are reviewing the adopted ordinance now to determine whether it would benefit their rehabilitation project, Stroud said. The city plans to discuss the new tax break with the new owners of Towers East on North Main Street as well, she said. —Cindy Landrum
Greenville Housing Fund set to approve first round of funding for affordable housing projects The Greenville Housing Fund is considering loans for four projects that would provide or preserve affordable housing for as many as 325 Greenville families. The four projects are on the short list for loans in the first round of funding from the newly launched GHF. The GHF board meets July 11 and is expected to make decisions then, said Ginny Stroud, the city’s community development coordinator. GHF Chairman Bogue Wallin said letters of interest were submitted for 11 projects that included 828 affordable housing units and cost more than $77 million. Those projects asked for more than $3.5 million in funding. The four projects being considered for first-round funding would cost more than $48.5 million. They would use between $1.6 million and $1.7 million of the fund’s $2 million in initial funding. Wallin said the projects would serve households with annual incomes of up to $55,000.
Stroud said one of the projects would preserve existing affordable housing. One of the projects is senior affordable housing. The Greenville City Council established the independent nonprofit fund to help address the city’s shortage of more than 2,500 affordable housing units. The fund, which was launched as part of the community development financial institution CommunityWorks, will provide equity funding for development and preservation of affordable housing for households with annual incomes of up to $55,000. Eligible borrowers include nonprofit and for-profit organizations, government entities, builders, developers, or combined partnerships that are committed to the production and preservation of affordable and workforce housing. Borrowers must have experience developing and managing qualified units. Stroud said a second round of funding could be made available by the end of the year. —Cindy Landrum

DECODING DIETS
Thoughts on Whole30, glutenfree, and other diet plans By Leigh Savage If upcoming beach trips and pool days have you trying on bathing suits and considering the latest fad diets, Mimi Edgar, a registered dietitian at Greenville Health System’s Life Center, suggests a different approach. While many plans can encourage healthier eating, most are too restrictive and can not only leave you regaining every pound you lost but can lead to health problems and nutritional deficiencies. While many people know this on a logical level, the lure of the quick 10-pound loss is often irresistible. Edgar understands that people tire of her directives to eat more whole, unprocessed foods such as lean proteins, fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats. It’s not a popular line of discussion at parties, but the effort will pay off in the long run. “Long term, steady changes lead to lasting results,” she said. “People want a quick fix, but we’ve yet to find one that actually works. And remember, it’s not just about a number on the scale. It’s a healthy life you’re trying to gain by losing weight.” We ran a few popular plans by Edgar for some quick takes on what may be beneficial about the plans and where danger may lurk.
Eating more whole, unprocessed foods, such as lean protein, fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats is an advisable diet plan.
WHOLE30: “I like that it prescribes eating whole foods and PALEO AND KETOGENIC: Edgar says these are just new lots of vegetables, but I’m not a proponent of taking out food groups,” she said. People don’t always use Whole30 to lose weight but instead to kickstart healthier habits, which can be beneficial, but the strict rules, including limited carbs, can leave people short on B vitamins, fiber, and other nutrients. “It’s great to avoid processed foods, but I don’t advocate vilifying one food group over others,” she said.
ways of restricting entire food groups to reduce calorie intake. Paleo focuses on protein while restricting carbs, and keto reduces carbs but increases fat intake. Both can be difficult to maintain long term and may not provide the body with the nutrition it needs to function optimally.
tolerance, a gluten-free plan doesn’t make sense, Edgar said. It may reduce calories, but it prevents people from eating whole grains, which can provide energy, fiber, and minerals, while also adding satisfaction to meals.
tives to eat lean protein, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats.
strictive, Edgar said. The Mediterranean diet is a good plan
GLUTEN-FREE: Unless you have celiac disease or gluten in- for many people, as it follows the basic nutritional direc-
INTERMITTENT FASTING: “I’m not a fan,” Edgar said.
EATING CLEAN: “Clean eating” has been a catchphrase
While proponents of intermittent fasting may claim that it reduces inflammation or improves sleep, there isn’t science to back up those claims. For certain people, including diabetics, people taking blood pressure medication or people who have struggled with disordered eating, these plans can be dangerous. 945 E.

for several years, and can mean different things to different health gurus, from reducing processed food to spartan plans that eliminate food groups. “Avoiding processed food is a good recommendation for everybody,” Edgar said.

Three groups of Mauldin firefighters have been recognized for their lifesaving resuscitation efforts that occurred over the past year. Each recipient was presented with a certificate and a pin. In many cardiac-arrest situations, patients end up with physical deficits or may not survive; the significance of this award is that every patient not only survived cardiac arrest but was also discharged from the hospital with zero physical or neurological defects. Firefighters receiving the award included Russel Anderson, Thomas Guthzeit, Jack Sweeney, Glen Guy, Eric Lutz, Andy McAbee, Brandon Cromer, Kevin Gainey, Charles Harris, Brian McHone, Tim Reardon, Mike Taylor, Jason Banks, Charles Harris, Tommy Holsonback, Anthony Horton, and Kyle Strickland. Mauldin firefighters were also recognized for outstanding service at the S.C. Firefighters Association’s annual conference. Lt. Jeff Nix and Lt. Jacob Looney were awarded the Meritorious Action Award for rescuing a resident from a house fire in May. It is the first time Mauldin firefighters have received this state-level award. PHILANTHROPY
Center for Community Services announces Christmas in July food drive The Center for Community Services will host a Christmas in July food drive to demonstrate that fighting hunger isn’t just important around the holidays; it is relevant all year. The beginning of summer means the end of free and reduced-price school meals for many children. The summer months are also difficult for many low-income seniors who are often forced to choose between paying bills and purchasing food. Food pantries often experience a slump in donations during the summer because of the lack of holiday giving opportunities. Throughout July, the community can drop off donations of nonperishable food items and household goods at the following locations: Fountain Inn Chamber of Commerce (102 Depot St., Fountain Inn); The Mauldin Chamber of Commerce/Mauldin Cultural Center (101 E. Butler Road, Mauldin); The Simpsonville Chamber of Commerce (100 W. Trade St., Simpsonville); and The Center for Community Services (1102 Howard Drive, Simpsonville). The most-needed food items are canned meat, vegetables, soup, macaroni and cheese and other kinds of pasta, spaghetti sauce, brown rice, dried beans, peanut butter, jelly, oatmeal, cereal, and breakfast bars. The most-needed household goods are diapers, baby wipes, deodorant, toothbrushes and toothpaste, bath soap, laundry, detergent, training pants, toilet paper, shampoo/conditioner, feminine-hygiene products, and household cleaners.

The Duke Energy Foundation donated $10,000 for the South Carolina School for the Deaf and the Blind’s book club. The funds will be used to purchase additional books for the school’s Really Cool for My School Book Club. Each student at the S.C. School for the Deaf and the Blind receives books annually to take home and keep as his or her own as part of schoolwide book distributions. Students who participate in the school’s after-school book club receive additional books to take home and keep. The goal of the Really Cool for My School Book Club is to build students’ personal libraries and their interest in reading. Provided through the school’s foundation, the books are available in regular print, large print, and Braille. Reading is a major initiative at the school, and incentives are offered throughout the year to encourage an ongoing interest in reading. “This generous gift represents a contribution to the development of reading skills and a lifelong interest in reading,” said Ann Akerman, CEO of the school’s foundation, in a news release. “We are grateful to Duke Energy for the wonderful gift and for taking the time to come out and celebrate reading with our students.” Submit community news items to www.greenvillejournal.com/submit.

South Carolina’s Backyard Ideas take root at South Carolina Botanical Garden at Clemson words by Sandra Woodward | photography provided by Clemson University Before grabbing the car keys for yet another visit to the local garden center for yet another flat of plants to brighten that spot by the mailbox, you may want to head to the backyard for inspiration. Not the one behind your house, though. Head for South Carolina’s backyard, the South Carolina Botanical Garden. Located on the edge of the Clemson University campus, this 295-acre site is home to one of the Southeast’s most prestigious plant collections with an ever-growing reputation. Whether you spend an hour or an entire day, you will come away with a new appreciation of the abundance of plant life that surrounds us in the Palmetto State. A LITTLE HISTORY What began as a living laboratory for Clemson University horticulture students in the 1950s received its designation as the state’s official garden 40 years later. Thanks to the efforts of staff and an army of volunteers, more than 10,000 plant species and varieties can be found at the South Carolina Botanical Garden. The gardens’ designs have undergone many changes over the years, notably the addition of brick walkways, many seating areas, and a new entrance. Three unique houses representing three periods of South Carolina’s history enhance the natural environment and offer context for the color and variety of plantings throughout the year: The Hanover House, a 1716 French Huguenot dwelling from the Lowcountry, is surrounded by a somewhat formal courtyard featuring urns and plantings as well as an heirloom vegetable garden. The Hunt Cabin, a circa-1826 dwelling typical of the more rural Upstate area; and The Wren House, a contemporary dwelling built in 1998 that was the first Southern Living Idea House. SUMMER’S BOUNTY Summer is an especially advantageous time to see plant groupings at full maturity. The Hydrangea Garden showcases one of the most popular home garden shrubs blooming in a spectrum of color, shapes, and size. The Butterfly Garden is alive with butterflies from early spring through fall feasting on milkweed and butterfly bush. The Hosta Garden offers a huge variety of these shade-loving
beauties, and the Perennial Garden includes examples of many hardy plant varieties such as azaleas, rhododendrons, and more than 100 daylilies. One of the more informative spaces is the Xeriscape Garden, which features drought-tolerant plants that thrive with little irrigation, important in South Carolina’s unpredictable summers. Taking this concept to the next level is an experimental garden called The Chihuahuan Desert Garden, composed of more than 640 species of plants brought here from the desert by that name in parts of the western United States and Mexico. FROM THE MOUNTAINS TO THE SEA South Carolina’s topography allows us to travel from the top of Sassafras Mountain in Pickens County (the state’s highest peak at an elevation of 3,563 feet) to sea level in a drive of about four hours’ time. The Natural Heritage Garden takes visitors through the full range of the state’s natural habitats from the cool, damp ravines of the Blue Ridge Escarpment through the pine forests and plains of the Midlands to the coastal habitats of the barrier islands. INSIDER INFO • Open every day, dawn to dusk. • Admission is free. • Strollers are welcome. • Leashed dogs are welcome.
• Bikes are allowed on most trails. • Picnicking is allowed. • Restrooms are located in four areas.
SCBG PLANT ID APP A free app, “Discover SC Botanical Gardens,” is available for iOS and Android devices. The app tracks your progress through the garden and provides information about the plants in each location. Search “SCBG” to download the app. BRING IT HOME Twice a year the Botanical Gardens hosts a plant sale, featuring a large selection and variety of seasonally appropriate plants, hard-to-find native plants, and rare plants. The next sale is scheduled for Sept. 21. For more information, visit clemson.edu/public/scbg.

UNDERGROUND GENRE
Starkfest Vol. 2 helps bring exposure to the region’s often-overlooked metal bands VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER
vharris@communityjournals.com
Last year, when Upstate sludge-metal trio Waft’s singer/guitarist Dan Johnson and drummer Zach Newton put together a two-day, 30-band extreme-metal blowout called Starkfest, they were essentially learning from scratch how to put on a big event. That can be an unpredictable process, and one of the unexpected curveballs the pair got thrown was when Johnson suddenly had to run sound for most of the second day of the festival, which took place at Thomas Creek Brewery. Then Johnson had to play a full set with Waft to close out the night, and he was, by his own admission, “totally wiped out.” That’s why, while you’ll see plenty of ultra-heavy bands from just about every subgenre of metal music at Starkfest Vol. 2 this Friday and Saturday, you won’t see Waft perform. “I said I was at least going to wait a year or two before I helped run things and played a set again,” Johnson says with a laugh. “That’s a lot of weight and a lot of stress. Thank God for Red Bull; that’s the only thing that got me through last year.” Needless to say, Johnson and Newton learned a lot from the first edition of Starkfest. And that’s why this year’s version, which will include performances by Neverfall, Behind The Sun, Divine Treachery, Xael, Coffin Torture, and more, will take place at Greenville’s Radio Room venue rather than the brewery. “I learned a lot about the organization, and about delegating things to people,” Johnson says. “Doing it in a venue is a lot better than doing it yourself. In a venue, you have a sound person; you have a door person; you have a bar person. These people are able to do their jobs more smoothly than you can. Unless you have a lot of money
to hire on a lot of people for a festival, you don’t really have a whole lot of people to help out. So I’m hoping it’ll be a lot more fun and a lot less stressful.” When it came time to choose the bands for Starkfest 2018, there were plenty of acts to consider, not just because Waft was already friendly with a lot of them, but because there were plenty of bands that had tried to get on last year’s packed-solid schedule. Ultimately, it was a combination of factors that sealed the deal for the 12-band bill. “I basically looked at hard-hitting regional bands that are making waves,” Johnson says. “Some of them are bands that I’m friends with, but that’s not why I chose them; I’ve seen them play lots of shows. And last year we had people that wanted to jump on, but we already had like 30 bands, so it was impossible.” Whatever the reason for the respective bands’ inclusion, the main goal of Starkfest is to shine a spotlight on what Johnson sees as a neglected regional music scene. “These different genres of harder-hitting music don’t normally get as much press or get showcased to people as often as they should,” he says. “There aren’t a lot of festivals that do that around here, and that’s kind of why I started Starkfest in the first place. I wanted to give these people a stage and an event where they can showcase their craft, whether that’s thrash metal, black metal, sludge, grind, or any of the different subgenres of heavy music.” And however financially or logistically successful Starkfest is, the most satisfying thing for Johnson will be if people leave as fans of bands they’d never heard before. “When people are being turned on to bands that they didn’t know about before, and maybe they start showing up to see these bands whenever they come through, I love that feeling,” he says. “I love giving people that opportunity.”

Timeless classic ‘Little Women’ elicits smiles and songs at Logos Theatre MELODY WRIGHT | CONTRIBUTOR
mwrightl@communityjournals.com
The March sisters — Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy — quickly earned a special place in hearts and homes when Louisa May Alcott wrote them into existence in 1869 with the publication of “Little Women.” Over the years, the beloved coming-of-age tale has been adapted for films, television series, and a musical version that premiered on Broadway in 2005. Now, nearly 150 years later, the March family continues to captivate audiences with life lessons in sacrificial love, heartache, forgiveness, and hope. The Logos Theatre brings “Little Women: The Broadway Musical” to the Upstate beginning July 6. “This musical with its dynamic songs, elaborate costumes, beautiful set pieces, real-life moments portrayed by the characters, and depictions of true, self-sacrificing love will leave parents and grandparents hugging their families a little more tightly, and children entertained and challenged to think more of others,” says director Nicole Stratton. The overarching theme in “Little Women” is the gift of family, with all the joys and pains it brings. “This is a timeless story, told in an exciting new way, where anyone of any age will go away with a smile on their face and a song in their heart,” Stratton adds. “Little Women” is set during the beginning of the Civil War with the four sisters and their mother, known as Marmee, living in Concord, Mass., while their father serves as chaplain for the Union army. Jo, the predominant character, aspires to become a famous writer and support her family — an uncommon but brave dream for a girl in the 19th century. Stratton feels a special connection to the story as the third of four daughters herself. “The honesty of this script has been so beautiful, as well as heart-wrenching, for me, and I believe it gives the audience a wonderful look into this tight-knit family and what it truly looks like to love and let go,” she says. Each girl’s personal journey folds into the narrative intertwining with characters
John Green as Theodore “Laurie” Laurence
Theodore Laurence III — “Laurie” — the new young neighbor and nephew of old Mr. Laurence, and Laurie’s tutor, John Brooke. “With each new person that enters their life, they fight to stay connected as a family, while still giving each other the freedom they need to ‘grow up’ as it were, find love, and eventually change into young women with their own individual lives,” Stratton explains.
Zac Johnson, who plays John Brooke and assists with directing the production, recalls fond family memories of his own. Johnson’s mother would read great works of literature to her 11 children, including her favorite — “Little Women.” “Even though we had a house full of little boys, we all loved ‘Little Women,’ and that makes this musical all the more special,” Johnson says. “The book is an American classic that has meant so much to so many, and this musical has the same kind of personal impact.” For Johnson, playing John Brooke presents the same challenges as any role — getting to the place where the emotions are real, not acting. “That doesn’t mean you fall in love offstage just because your character does onstage, but it does mean you allow yourself, in the moment, to temporarily act and react with emotional honesty as your character,” Johnson says. The musical will show audiences the iconic settings of the March’s parlor and attic, where the girls act out Jo’s wild tales. With a 20-foot-diameter turntable, the Logos Theatre smoothly transitions through the story’s many scene changes. And the impact of the music itself shouldn’t be ignored, says music director John Green. All music interpretation stems from the personalities of the characters. “The music score is strong for ‘Little Women.’ It is full of wonderful melodies, lush orchestration, and variety,” Green says. “Audiences will absolutely fall in love with this adaptation because of the timeless story and magnificent music.”

EVERYONE 6 things you should know about Eats at Yee-Haw before you go
After a wait of at least 18 months, Yee-Haw Brewing Co.’s highly anticipated Greenville location next to Cyclebar in Keys Court on McBee Avenue opened July 2. And because the restaurant component Eats at Yee-Haw is new to the brewery and the Upstate, here’s what you need to know before you head into the cycling-themed, family-friendly taproom for lunch, dinner, and everything in between.
Summertime Blackberry Beret beer
1. Get the wings. If you order nothing else on the menu, order the chargrilled wings, especially if you aren’t normally into wings. These are worth it, and so is the inevitable, finger-licking mess. Here’s why: They are first brined for 24 hours in liquid smoke, then convection steam baked, and finally finished on the grill. They are never fried and come in three different flavors — buffalo, sweet chili lime, and Valentina hot sauce. If you give them a little shake, the meat literally falls off the bone. ’Nuff said.

$ Menu items include both healthy entrees and guilty pleasures.
2. Vegetarians can order more than the portobello sandwich. So, there is actually a grilled portobello sandwich with balsamic, Boursin cheese, and roasted red pepper on the menu, but there’s also beer cheese, guac, fried green tomatoes, veggie tacos (grilled squash and mushrooms), and a portobello-and-artichoke flatbread.
3. There are some killer healthy options. The Yee-Haw guys are all about balance, fitness, cycling, and the like, so providing some healthy entrees was just as important to them as serving the loaded cracklins’ that are anything but. For some no-guilt, post-cycling fuel, you’ve got three salad options: the Local Strawberry (grilled chicken, field greens, blue cheese, honey vinaigrette); a grilled romaine wedge (blackened shrimp, diced tomato, feta, red onion, classic vinaigrette); and a salmon (field greens, avocado, tomato, mushroom, feta, jalapeño, cilantro, classic vinaigrette).
4. Tennessee-cured Benton’s ham is on the menu. Benton’s ham has been a prized Southern staple, landing on menus in some of the top restaurants in the country, since Blackberry Farm put it on the map years ago. Notably, in South Carolina, chef Sean Brock of Husk uses Benton’s bacon in the grind of the famed Husk cheeseburger. It pops up around here on menus from time to time, and here’s another chance to enjoy the exceptional other white meat. Look for it on the wagyu burger, and Vermont and Porky Fig flatbreads.
5. The award-winning beer isn’t being brewed here yet.

Give them some time, and it will be, across the patio in the new tank system set up in the separate space to the left of Cyclebar. In the meantime, there’s no shortage of beer coming down from the Johnson City, Tenn., brewery, so there’s nothing to worry about.
6. There’s more than beer on the drink menu. Whether wine, mocktails, or cocktails are your thing, you have a full range of options. On the nonalcoholic side, the blueberry mojito and Strawberry Bee’s Knees are exceptionally refreshing and not overly sweet. For cocktails, four of the seven craft options feature locally or regionally distilled liquors, such as Striped Pig Vodka from Charleston, Six & Twenty 5-Grain Bourbon from Powdersville, and Dark Corner Jōcassee Gin from Greenville.

Depending on which album you’re listening to, the Easley-based band Revelator has either been an experimental group creating concept albums, post-punk boundary-pushers, or, in their most recent incarnation, a quartet that mixes indie-folk and acoustic-electric rock. Their most recent album, “#Muricana,” is considerably more straightforward than anything they’ve done before, and that’s because it was the first one designed to be played live. “Revelator started out as an online project in 2011,” says singer Jon Rasmussen. “I basically sent out an email to three of my friends and asked if they wanted to make music together. We were all in different locations, so using Dropbox or Google Drive we would email around one part at a time.” Guitarist Heath Lane adds, “Most of it couldn’t be reproduced live.” Eventually, Rasmussen and Lane wanted to turn Revelator into a live band, so they created music that could be played live and recruited a rhythm section. And one of the reasons they’re happy to be playing a festival at a house-show venue like Clemson’s Pablo is that it gives bands making original music a much-needed place to play. “One of the downsides of this area is that there isn’t a huge amount of venues that care about the local scene,” Lane says. “If you’re not playing cover music, it’s a stumbling block. That’s the reason house venues like Pablo and Grandma’s House are so important to us. They offer you a place to put your stuff out there.” –Vincent Harris

Black Fast
FRI
Ground Zero | 3052 Howard St., Spartanburg | 7 p.m.
CONCERT
If you’ve never heard a band from the “technical metal” genre, it’s a dizzying, stunning experience. Technical metal bands, like the St. Louis quartet Black Fast, execute jarring shifts in time signatures and tone that make the thrash-metal of bands like Metallica and Megadeth seem like amateurs, creating breathtakingly complex song structures that twist, turn, and fold back in on themselves and take off down unexpected paths. It sounds somewhat intimidating when it’s described in black-and-white, but on Black Fast’s new album, “Spectre Of Ruin,” it’s more of a primal rush than an overcomplicated intellectual exercise. On tracks like the relentless “Cloak Of Lies” and the more epic “Silhouette Observer,” Black Fast creates the adrenaline-fueled release that metal fans crave while keeping their playing chops, and songwriting skills, sharp enough to satisfy their own artistic curiosity. It might not be for everyone, but if you’re a fan of the sheer aggression of great metal, Black Fast is an excellent way to check out a potentially unfamiliar subgenre. –Vincent Harris Nashville country standards and country-dipped pop hits to Greenville. 864-467-3000 | 800-888-7768 www.peacecenter.org CAUSES & FUNDRAISING

If you look at the picture of Foreigner that accompanies this 2018 Jukebox Heroes tour stop and the faces you see look a little, well, foreign, you probably aren’t the only one. The only remaining original member of the classic-rock juggernaut that brought us hits like “Feels Like The First Time,” “Hot Blooded,” “Waiting For A Girl,” and “I Want To Know What Love Is” in the 1970s and ’80s is guitarist Mick Jones. Singer Lou Gramm is long gone, and a new cast of characters, including singer Kelly Hansen, now surround Jones onstage. But this isn’t some fading nostalgia act; Jones is largely responsible for just about every note Foreigner ever played, and the notorious perfectionist has built a band that can handle the classic hits, and an occasional new tune, as well as or better than the classic lineup. Hansen, in particular, is a frontman to be reckoned with, sporting a solid-gold set of pipes and charming onstage charisma. –Vincent Harris female artists of all time.

Perennial Passion!
by Martin Annuals add that punch of Garden seasonal color to our flower Center beds, but we all know that perennials are the real mainstay providing our gardens with consistency, longevity and recurring striking color year after year! We love perennials for several reasons:
1 2 3
They are cost effective. Why not make your plant purchases last? By choosing perenninals your plants will come back year after year. Many perennials are evergreen providing your garden with color and interest even in the cold winter months. Because different perennials can bloom at different times of the blooming season, a carefully planned garden can provide you (and the butterflies and hummingbirds, too!) with a continuous bloom flow.
Be sure to check out these stunning favorites: Coneflower, Bee Balm, Salvia, Butterfly Bush, Blanket Flower, Balloon Flower, Coreopsis, Yarrow, Foxglove, Gaura, Verbena, Delphinium and Dianthus. And here’s a HOTlist of evergreen perennials to love: Ascot Rainbow Euphorbia, Red Veined Dock (Rumex), Lamb’s Ears, False Raspberry, ‘Lemon Ball’ and ‘Angelina’ Sedums. Perennials are the backbone of our gardens. Plant and enjoy! Blanket Flower is a huge crowdpleaser with bursts of yellow.
Martin Garden Center
Tips & Tricks • Many perennials are drought tolerant
allowing you to cut back on watering.
• Mix your perennials with a few herbs and annuals for maxium punch!
• Divide perennials every 3-5 years and share with friends!
• Most perennials are not heavy feeders
and they will be happy with one spring application of a balanced granular fertilizer.
