Council approves annexations, rezonings Action could help make way for family entertainment venue, townhomes CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

JULY 19-24

OPENS TUESDAY! BEST PRICES ONLY AT

Annexations and rezonings dominated the agenda for Monday’s City Council meeting, and eventually they could make way for a family entertainment venue and some new townhomes.

City Council gave initial approval to the annexation of approximately 8.71 acres at the corner of Congaree and Griffith roads and to zoning that land as C-3, regional commercial district. An additional 2.3 acres of right-of-way adjacent to the property will also be annexed.

The Corley Family Realty Limited Partnership is buying the land.

At the June Greenville Planning Commission meeting, commissioners were told that the new owner plans to develop the property into a family entertainment venue with birthday parties, an arcade and bowling alley.

The annexation of 6.85 acres on Market Point Drive received initial approval as well.

The land will be zoned C-3, regional commercial district. Bryan Wood of the city’s zoning department told Council that 66 townhomes are planned. Offlex One Limited Partnership owns the property.

Council will also approve rezoning of two properties on Market Point Drive. First, 0.7 acres was rezoned from PD, Planned Devel-

opment, to C-3, Regional Commercial District. Then, 0.858 acres was rezoned from C-3 to PD. The swap was necessary to provide connection to 30 Market Point Drive, which is being developed into a new apartment community.

Council also gave final approval to a sewer agreement with McCall Capital that would allow the company to build a mixed-use development on the former site of the state Department of Motor Vehicles on Laurens Road.

City officials have said Laurens Village will be a transformative project for Laurens Road and Pleasantburg Drive.

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. The Greenville Local Development Corp. will pay $150,000 and McCall Capital will pay $150,000.

Council also made several appointments to boards and commissions.

Robert Benedict, John Edwards and Joel Patterson were named to the Design Review Board Neighborhood Panel for two-year terms ending July 31, 2018.

Danielle Fontaine and Mitch Lehde were named to the Design Review Board Urban Panel for two-year terms ending July 31, 2018.

Charles West, Charlie Bryan, Earl Provost and Thomas Drake were appointed to serve on the Springwood Cemetery Advisory Committee until June 30, 2018.

Rachel Kepley will fill an unexpired term on the Greenville Housing Authority Board.

Children’s Theatre project gets $1.5 million boost CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Greenville City Council members on Monday put their support of the South Carolina Children’s Theatre’s plan to build a performance, education and administrative center on Augusta Street in writing.

The Council passed a resolution that promises the theater $1.5 million in hospitality tax funds over five years and challenged the Greenville County Council to do the same.

City Councilman David Sudduth challenged Greenville County to match the city’s contribution.

“It’s right in the back yard of County Square and would go a long way to improving that area,” he said.

The Children’s Theatre plans to build a $10 million 34,000-square-foot facility that includes a 300-seat theater, a separate Second Stage space, education classrooms and a large lobby.

Groundbreaking is expected in January 2018.

The theater has “an exciting but limited

window of opportunity” to build a new facility next door to its current headquarters thanks to Josephine Cureton, a longtime Children’s Theatre supporter who said in her will she wanted her 125-year-old Victorian house demolished and her property turned into the Children’s Theatre’s new home.

The Children’s Theatre stages its Main Stage productions in the Peace Center’s Gunter Theatre. For its smaller-scale Second Stage shows, it transforms the back of the metal building that houses its administrative offices into a “stage.”

“There is no other project underway that has the potential scope and promise to positively impact the future of Greenville and its citizens,” said SCCT Executive Director Debbie Bell.

About 43,000 people experienced or participated in Children’s Theatre activities last year. The theater has outgrown its leased space, and demand for programming and performances continues to increase, Bell said. With a new facility, the theater’s capacity for performances would increase by 40 percent, Bell said.

OPINION Views from your community

Creating a culture of compassion in Greenville IN MY OWN WORDS

By Susan Stall

As I have watched recent news footage of murder and pandemonium, I feel like I am watching video from a war-torn country. In many ways, the United States is a war-torn country. People are living in fear, arming themselves for battle. Citizens are dying on streets, on sidewalks, in cars, in police vans and prison cells. Snipers take aim from above.

We are living with so many layers of division, which are underwritten by centuries of injustice, systemic racism and an ever-growing chasm between people who have too much and those who don’t have enough. Our political landscape is as inflamed and volatile as the streets of Ferguson and now Dallas. We are a country in need of healing and compassion. Most of

us do not know where to turn or what to do. We are afraid, terribly sad and angry.

Many years ago, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “People fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don’t know each other; they don’t know each other because they have not communicated with each other.”

In recent days, U.S. Rep. John Lewis of Georgia said, “We must learn to live together as brothers and sisters. If not, we will perish.”

These are the times that drive people to the streets in protest as well as to their knees in prayer. These are times that compel faithful people to look at the world around them and ask, “What does my faith tradition tell me to do?”

The need for mercy, compassion and

dialogue in our community has never been greater. I invite you to hear Jack Jezreel, founder of JustFaith Ministries in Louisville, Ky., speak at the Kroc Center on Tuesday, Aug. 9, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. This free event is open to anyone who wants to discern what an active faith means for them (please register at justfaithevent.eventbrite.com). JustFaith Ministries is committed to nurturing a vast community of faithful people who will create a culture of compassion.

JustFaith encourages participants to cross lines of division, and it inspires personal transformation. This small group ministry builds strong relationships among participants who grapple with how their faith intersects with our world today.

Each group offers a forum in which people can consider injustices in our communi-

ties, and then consider the possibilities for how they might be part of the solution to bring justice and compassion to our world.

New JustFaith groups will be forming throughout Greenville this fall. I invite you to be inspired by the words of Jack Jezreel on Aug. 9. I invite you to consider whether you are ready to join a JustFaith group and help create a culture of compassion in our community.

For more information, visit Justfaithevent.eventbrite.com.

Finding hope in the Cancer Moonshot IN MY OWN WORDS

by Beth Baker

As a cancer survivor of two different cancers in the last six years, I applaud Vice President Joe Biden’s Cancer Moonshot initiative.

My cancer started in May 2010 with the diagnosis of stage 4 lung cancer in West Palm Beach, Fla., where I lived all my life.

My treatment appeared to be working when a severe reaction took me off the drug within 10 weeks. I was devastated — but, by the

grace of God and the expertise of my medical team, my PET scan showed no active cancer in spite of my only completing twothirds of the regimen.

I was thrilled. But I realized there were things I wanted to do — like enjoying the change of seasons, all the way from spring through crisp bright falls and fireplace winters. We moved to Knoxville. I experienced seasons, more snow than I thought possible growing up in Florida, mountains everywhere and the awe-inspiring beauty of God’s creations.

But then, while in Knoxville in June 2013, I was diagnosed with a high-grade bladder cancer that had already spread to my lymph nodes. This cancer had no relation to my earlier one, except the chemo drugs needed to fight it were the ones that I couldn’t take.

In the midst of my trying other chemo drugs combinations, my tumors spreading and my oncologist recommending radiation, my husband was transferred to Greenville.

That’s when I met Dr. Jeff Edenfield, with the Greenville Heath System Cancer Institute, who looked at other options, including

tumor DNA profiling, after radiation failed to completely shrink the tumors. After much searching, he and his staff found an immunotherapy drug by Bristol-Myers Squibb that helped my immune system. Hope soared, but then came despair because it was not approved by the FDA for bladder cancer and was therefore considered experimental — meaning my insurance would not cover it. But the staff at the GHS Cancer Institute rose up again and aggressively worked Bristol-Myers, which agreed to provide me the drug at no cost.

And guess what? After seven months, my radiologist told me there was no evidence of tumor.

My own cells are fighting the cancer cells.

Because it’s not chemo, I have far fewer side effects. I don’t understand all that it does completely, but I know it works.

How can I say this — I feel normal on it.

And when I stop, I will be monitored with CT scans, and if/when I come out of remission, the Moonshot initiative will hopefully have something else available.

This is what the Moonshot is all about — finding therapies that target a specific patient’s specific cancer, speeding research and cutting red tape to get promising new drugs on the market. Finding hope.

I may not have a long life ahead of me.

Only God knows the length of my years. But while I am here, I can have a life that is full of life and being able to accomplish the things

OPINION I want to do. My first oncologist told me his “mission was to see that I live a long life and die of something other than cancer.”

With all my heart, I believe this is also the mission of this new Moonshot program.

Preparing for launch Greenville’s Olympic pole vaulter Sandi Morris is ready for Rio — and aiming to jump higher than any woman has before ANDREW MOORE | STAFF

amoore@communityjournals.com

Greenville pole vaulter Sandi Morris has collected a pile of medals throughout her career. But one medal is missing. It’s round, golden and has “Rio 2016” inscribed across the front. It might just be added to the pile soon.

On Sunday, she finished in second place at the USA Track & Field Olympic Trials in Eugene, Ore. Morris cleared a bar set 15 feet, 7 inches in the air, a surprising height considering she hadn’t used her left arm for more than a month.

On May 20, Morris, 23, sustained a hairline fracture at the tip of her left ulna — a forearm bone — during the IAFF World Challenge in the Czech Republic. Her fiberglass pole had snapped just as her feet left the ground, sending the recoil into her arm.

But Morris returned home to Arkansas and started doing minimal training to prepare for the trials. In late June, doctors cleared Morris to jump. She increased her approach to the launch pad in increments until she could jump from a running start of 94 feet.

“It caused some discomfort. But it was more of a mental thing for me. I had to teach myself that it’s healed and that it’s not going to hurt me. Because you can get hurt if you hesitate or put half the effort into a jump,”

Morris said.

Morris’ performance Sunday garnered her a spot on the U.S. Olympic team and a trip to the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janiero. Her successes are the culmination of a decade of training and competing on a national and international scale.

Learning to fly

It started in the second grade. In 2000, Morris paid a boy a quarter to race her 100 meters. She beat him, and her parents — both former athletes at Western Illinois University — signed her up for a children’s track and field team. She ran hurdles.

Morris continued running hurdles throughout her childhood and became a member of the Anderson Quick Striders in sixth grade. In eighth grade, a coach from Greenville High introduced Morris to pole vaulting. She practiced and her potential became clear.

In 2006, Morris started at Greenville High School. There, she continued to jump higher and higher under the instruction of Columbia-based coach Rusty Shealy. She cleared 8 feet, 6 inches as a freshman and 10 feet as a sophomore. Morris also started competing across the country in USATF Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships.

Competing against national talent helped Morris earn state titles in her junior and senior years. Then colleges started recruiting Morris just before she graduated in 2010.

She got countless recruitment offers and verbally committed to Wake Forest University. But then she changed her mind and committed to the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill.

Morris trained and competed the summer before entering college and placed first at the USATF Junior Olympics Track & Field Championships. She continued that success at UNC. In 2010, Morris became the only freshman to qualify for the NCAA Outdoor Championships and placed fourth at the ACC Indoor Championships.

In 2011, Morris started her sophomore year at UNC and finished 11th at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. But she needed a life change.

“I wasn’t getting better,” said Morris.

“Their training regime focused on running too much, and it didn’t help me at all. But I had also been through an ankle sprain and mono that season, and I hadn’t committed to my academics. So I just needed a fresh start.”

In the meantime, Shealy contacted Brian Compton at the University of Arkansas to inform him of Morris’ decision. Compton had

tried to recruit Morris before she committed to UNC in 2010. He offered Morris a full-ride scholarship and she transferred.

Forging a career

Morris found the fresh start she needed upon transferring. She also found her passion for broadcast journalism, which has helped her athletic career.

“I majored in biology at UNC. But my roommate started teaching me how to edit video, which really gave me a creative outlet,” said Morris. “I changed my major to broadcast journalism … it taught me how to act on camera. The stars really aligned for me.”

Morris’ pole vault career started to take shape under Compton’s coaching as she finished fourth at the 2013 NCAA Indoor Championships and second at the SEC Championships.

Greenville pole vaulter Sandi Morris floats through the air, approaching a bar set 15 feet, 11 inches in the air. Morris cleared the bar and finished in second place at the 2016 IAFF World Indoor Championships in Portland, Ore.

“Coach Compton runs a tight ship and pushes us to our limit. But that’s the type of coaching I needed. He’s just so good at noticing and correcting errors in technique,” said Morris. “It was tough at first, but I learned his coaching style and it paid off.”

Morris redshirted the 2013 outdoor and 2014 indoor season. But she returned for her senior year and demolished the competition. Morris finished first at the 2015 SEC Indoor Championships and 2015 NCAA Indoor Championships. She also set a collegiate outdoor record of 15 feet, 5.75 inches at the 2015 SEC Outdoor Championships.

Morris graduated but continued to train at the University of Arkansas to compete in the 2015 USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. She signed a contract with Nike a

day before the competition. Morris finished in second place to represent the U.S. at the World Championships in Beijing. She finished in fourth place at that competition in August.

“It was just surreal wearing USA across my chest. I competed against some of the best athletes in the world,” said Morris. “It really set me up for the Olympics.”

Becoming an Olympian

Morris returned home after Beijing and rested. She then competed in the Millrose Games in February. There, she watched Demi Payne and Katarina Stefanidi both clear 16 feet. Morris set her sights on doing the same but failed. She finished in third place.

NEWS the “16-foot club” at the USA Indoor Track & Field Championships in March. Morris jumped and cleared her bars but fell behind.

Then she did it. Morris cleared a 16-foot bar and stole the lead. She finished in first place.

“I started out struggling but just made it happen. Sometimes you just push against that struggle and it works out,” said Morris.

“I hope to become the first woman to jump 17 feet. But no one builds a wall by going out and saying they want to build the greatest, biggest wall ever. You start by laying each

in my career and get up on that podium,” said Morris. “Every time I hear the national anthem, I imagine I’m on the podium with a medal around my neck, my hand on my heart and the reflection of the stars and stripes glittering in my tears of happiness.”

5 Questions for Sandi Morris How does an Olympic pole vaulter train?

We do something called “8-minute workout” with poles. You basically run eight 100-meter sprints with poles.

You have one minute to run 100 meters and the rest of the minute to rest.

So if you run it in 15 seconds you’re in good shape. I can barely lift my legs after. And you can’t pump your arms because you’re holding the pole. So your arms get tired and your chest cramps up. It’s not fun.

What do you listen to before a big competition?

I’m a huge fan of “Jock Jams.” It’s basically just a bunch of ’90s rap and hip-hop songs. It gets me pumped up.

brick perfectly. I got that from Will Smith.”

Her performance sent her to the 2016 IAFF World Indoor Championships in Portland, Ore., in March. She finished in second place. Then Morris sustained the hairline fracture at the tip of her ulnar at the 2016 IAFF World Challenge in May. After rehabbing her fracture and training, Morris set off to Eugene, Ore., for the 2016 USA Track & Field Olympic Trials. She competed in the semifinal qualifier round on Friday. She missed her first jump but then qualified for the final round with a second jump of 14 feet, 5.25 inches. She finished just behind Olympic champion Jenn Suhr.

On Sunday, Morris returned to the stadium to qualify for the Olympic team. But she missed her first attempt of the day at a height of 14 feet, 5.23 inches. She rallied and cleared a height of 15 feet, 7 inches, garnering her a spot on the U.S. Olympic team beside Suhr and Alexis Weeks, a freshman at the University of Arkansas.

Morris has since returned to Arkansas to prepare and train for the 2016 Summer Olympics. She and her teammates enter the first round of Olympic qualifiers on Aug. 16 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The pole vault finals are set for Aug. 19.

“I hope to medal and take a shot at the gold … I hope to break 16 feet for the second time

It’s one of the very few places where they still wear dirndl and lederhosen.

But there were just flowers everywhere and a beautiful lake. I remember actually pole-vaulting into the lake. I actually didn’t jump well when I was there. But I could just stay forever. It was like living in a fairy tale.

What’s your favorite food to eat when you’re not on a training diet?

I’m not sure if this is a junk food, but I’m obsessed with those kettle-cooked potato chips. I could eat about 10 bags. They’re so good. But I also like Cheetos. If I eat one, it’s over.

What do you miss most about Greenville?

There’s a small store called The Emporium [at 1 Augusta St.]. I love that little store. They just have the coolest trinkets and decorations. I always buy something if I go in there. And obviously, I can’t forget Spill the Beans. We don’t have that here. So I always go downtown to walk on Liberty Bridge and then get some Spill the Beans.

Noble’s dismissal “difficult and painful” for NewSpring EMILY PIETRAS | ASSOCIATE EDITOR

epietras@communityjournals.com

Last Sunday, Executive Pastor Shane Duffy of NewSpring Church announced during morning services that founder and senior pastor Perry Noble has been removed from his position, effective July 1, and that Clayton King will serve as interim senior pastor.

According to a statement posted on NewSpring’s website, the board of directors and pastor advisory team, in accordance with the church’s governing bylaws, ultimately made the decision to dismiss Noble.

“While this is the most difficult and painful decision we have had to make, unfortunately it was necessary,” the statement reads.

According to the statement, Noble has made “unfortunate choices and decisions,” and executive pastors met with him several times to discuss “concerns regarding his personal behavior and spiritual walk.” Noble’s “posture toward his marriage” and an “increased reliance on alcohol” were cited as primary concerns.

Ultimately, because Noble “chose not to properly address these ongoing issues and didn’t take the necessary steps toward cor-

recting them,” it was determined he was “no longer qualified … to continue as a pastor at NewSpring Church.”

The statement concludes with a request for members to “join us as a church family in continual prayer for Perry, his family and our church.”

NewSpring Communications Director Suzanne Swift could not be reached for further comment.

The church’s website also posted a statement from Noble, who said his “obsession to do everything possible to reach 100,000 [members] and beyond … has come at a personal cost in my own life and created a strain on my marriage.”

Noble addressed his growing “overuse of alcohol,” which he described as “a spiritual and moral mistake on my part.”

“I realize that I cannot continue to do effective ministry if this issue in my personal life is not adequately addressed,” his statement reads.

In addition to seeking spiritual guidance, Noble said he is currently seeing a psychiatrist for treatment.

Noble also addressed any misconceptions surrounding the reasons for his dismissal,

stating, “Let me be clear, neither [wife] Lucretia nor I have committed any sort of sexual sin. I have not stolen money. I have not been looking at porn, and there was absolutely no domestic abuse. This is the story — period. I simply need to address an issue that has gotten out of hand in my life.”

Noble stated that although he did not know what his next step would be, his main focus would be “becoming the best husband and father I can become.” He said he still believes “NewSpring is the greatest church in the world,” and he asked church members to pray for him and his family as they move forward.

On Wednesday, Noble posted a video message on Facebook to thank everyone who has offered prayers and support.

He said NewSpring’s leadership made the right decision to appoint King as the interim senior pastor, and he expressed his continued love and support for NewSpring.

“I ran to [alcohol] other than Jesus for my comfort, and that was wrong,” Perry said in the video. “God has gotten my attention, and I am focused on getting better.”

He said he would keep everyone updated on his journey, and that “the best is yet to come.”

NewSpring Church held its first official ser-

vice in Anderson in 2000. The church’s roots can be traced back to the weekly Bible sessions Noble held at his Anderson apartment beginning in 1998. Today, NewSpring has 17 campuses across South Carolina. With an average weekly attendance of more than 30,000, it is one of the largest “megachurches” in the country. In 2015, according to an annual report on the church’s website, NewSpring had an income of $64.2 million.

Advanced Treatment for Dry Eye Dry Eye affects an estimated 25 million Americans and is the most common reason for a visit to an eye specialist. It is a complex disease involving the tear quantity, quality, inflammation, and eyelid oil or Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). Causes include age, medications, health and environmental conditions, and contact lenses. It is more common in women than men. Dry Eye occurs when there are insufficient tears to provide adequate moisture or when the tear film over the eye is of poor quality. “If left untreated, dry eyes become uncomfortable with symptoms of scratchiness, stinging, itching, burning, light sensitivity, fluctuating vision, and tired eyes,” says Dr. Joes Parisi, Chief Ophthalmologist at Clemson Eye. Traditional treatment includes artificial tear drops and lifestyle changes, but there are some advanced therapies.

Over the past 15 years, research has revealed that Meibomian Gland Dysfunction is the leading cause of eye discomfort for over 86% of patients with Dry Eye. It occurs when the eyelid oil glands become blocked due to inflammation and thick secretions and can no longer produce normal lipids or oils needed for a sustained healthy tear film. Then more rapid evaporation of your tears leads to inflammation and results in a gradual, progressive loss of the Meibomian glands.

During a Dry Eye exam, the doctor will check to see if the glands are releasing oil during the blinking process. The Lipiview® test provides an accurate digital image of the Meibomian glands and blink function. If the test shows the gland function has dropped off and there is ‘Evaporative Dry Eye’, then the doctor will recommend cutting edge treatment either with a LipiFlow® or other therapies like artificial tears, Restasis, omega-3 supplements or punctal plugs.

ADVERTORIAL

LipiFlow® is the only electronic device cleared by the FDA for treatment of MGD with clinical studies of safety and effectiveness.

Through advances in the application of Vectored Thermal Pulsation (VTPTM) technology, LipiFlow® utilizes a patented algorithm of precise heat applied to the inner eyelids with directed gentle massage to remove blockages from the Meibomian glands. This treatment is designed to restore the natural oil flow to the tear film that covers the eye’s surface and save the glands.

Overall, Dry Eye treatments may make a sufferer more comfortable and often improve the quality of vision. Anyone with symptoms of Dry Eye should visit an eye care professional specializing in Dry Eye treatment.

Basic vs. Laser Cataract Surgery Life expectancy in the United States has been increasing steadily over the past century. Americans who reached 65 in 2011 are projected to live another 21 years to age 86.1 As a result, many Americans are working longer than expected.

Visual health is important to being able to work at any age. But as we age, vision becomes more of a challenge for a greater number of us. Cataracts are often the culprit.

Cataracts, a clouding of the eye’s natural lens, affect about 22 million Americans over age 40. By age 80, more than 90% of Americans will have a cataract.2 Left untreated, cataracts can lead to blindness. They are the leading cause of vision loss in the U.S. Surgery is the only known treatment for cataracts.

Cataract surgery, a 15-minute out-patient procedure, is one of the safest and most commonly performed surgeries in the U.S.3 People with cataracts can opt for basic or laser cataract surgery.

Basic Cataract Surgery Basic cataract surgery involves removing the diseased lens and implanting a monofocal lens. The monofocal intraocular lens clears your vision at a single focal point. This manual, bladed surgical procedure is covered by Medicare and most health insurance plans. However, if you wore eye glasses before your basic cataract surgery, you will still need them after the surgery.

Laser Cataract Surgery Laser cataract surgery involves using a laser and computer-guided software system to create incisions that are up to 10 times more precise than manual incisions. Here, patients have the option of advanced lenses that can correct nearsightedness, farsightedness and/or astigmatism.

“Laser surgery with the multifocal lens has changed my life.”

“Through laser cataract surgery with advanced lenses, we can deliver the best possible visual outcomes for our cataract patients,” says Dr. Don Glaser, the eye surgeon at Clemson Eye’s Anderson clinic. “Regardless of their age, Clemson Eye patients enjoy excellent restored vision, whereby they are entirely free of or much less dependent on eye glasses.”4 A portion of the cost of laser cataract surgery and advanced lens implants is covered by Medicare and most health insurance plans. However, an additional payment is required. If you’re a Clemson Eye patient, you have the option of 24-month, 0% payment plans.

Carol’s Cataract Story Carol Bridges opted for laser cataract surgery. Bridges is a youngat-heart American who chose to forgo retirement and continue working part-time. She is a dental hygienist in Pickens, SC, and very much depends on good vision to perform her work.

When she started to notice colors diming and driving becoming more difficult, she booked an eye exam. At her exam, her eye doctor, Dr. Joe Parisi, confirmed she had cataracts.

After discussing all the options with him, Bridges chose laser cataract surgery with an advanced multifocal lens implant.

“I work at close range all day long. The laser surgery with the multifocal lens has changed my life. It’s made my work so much easier. I don’t have to bother with glasses anymore. It’s wonderful,” says Bridges.

Eye Exams for All Seniors If you think you have a cataract, a dilated eye exam is the only way to confirm it. An annual eye exam is recommended for all seniors to help ensure your visual health, quality of life, and ability to continue working, should you so desire.

Police could have body cameras as early as October Cameras high on list of local protestors’ demands CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Greenville Police officers could be equipped with body cameras as early as October.

Immediate purchase and use of body cameras by the Greenville Police Department and Greenville County Sheriff’s Office is one of three changes demanded by leaders of local protests held after the back-to-back fatal shootings of black men by white officers in Louisiana and Minnesota last week.

“We want them to have body cameras that don’t fall off when they run,” said Bruce Wilson, one of the leaders of the Greenville protests and head of Fighting Injustice Together, “and not one or two years down the road.”

South Carolina was the first state to direct every police department in the state to use body cameras. But law enforcement agencies aren’t required to do so until they receive full funding.

Greenville Police Chief Ken Miller said body cameras are included in his department’s budget this year.

The department field-tested Taser Axon cameras for about two months in 2015 and Miller had told City Council members that a package that would cost the city about $175,000 each year would equip 125 officers with body cameras and new Tasers that would automatically activate the body camera when removed from its holster. The package also included video storage, which officials said is the most costly part of having body cameras.

The city decided to seek body camera bids, and eight vendors submitted proposals. A committee that will evaluate them met for the first time Wednesday.

Committee members have a July 25 evaluation deadline, and officers could have body

cameras by October or November. If additional field tests are needed, officers likely will not have the cameras before the end of the year, Miller said.

The department received a nearly $94,000 federal grant for body cameras, a public awareness campaign and evaluation of the program with the help of the criminal justice department at the University of South Carolina.

It can ask the state to reimburse the rest of the estimated $260,434 cost to equip all of its field officers — community patrol, traffic, K-9 and school resource officers — with body cameras.

The department has about 40 cameras, but Miller said they are outdated and several no longer work.

One hundred sixty-eight agencies applied for the first round of state grants and will be notified this month how much they’ll get out of the $5.8 million available. According to the Department of Safety, 168 law enforcement agencies across the state requested $13.8 million. All the agencies will get some money, depending on their size. Thirty-one will get 100 percent of their requests, while the largest agencies may only get half.

Greenville County Sheriff Steve Loftis did not request money for body cameras in his budget. The agency did apply for a $700,000 grant.

Protesters also want any death of a person at the hands of law enforcement to be investigated by the FBI and the U.S. Department of Justice instead of the State Law Enforcement Division. In addition, they want the county and city to have citizen review boards with subpoena power. The city has a citizen review board that reviews grievances from police department employees and takes complaints from the public, Miller said.

Upstate Black Lives Matter and Fighting Injustice Together have organized several protests in downtown Greenville since two black men were fatally shot by white officers in Louisiana and Minnesota last week.

On Monday, they said one of the changes they wanted was immediate implementation of body cameras by the Greenville Police Department and the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office.

Talking it over Panel discusses race, law enforcement and violence in inaugural CurioCity forum MARY WILLSON | STAFF

mwillson@communityjournals.com

Tuesday night, six people who otherwise wouldn’t be in the same room sat across from each other and had a vulnerable conversation during the inaugural CurioCity panel, live streamed on Facebook.

Hosted by Community Journals and moderated by Jonathan Parker, Fellowship Greenville’s director of community involvement, discussions included body cameras, white privilege, police diversity, gentrification and public protests.

“On July 4, my wife and I welcomed our third son into our world. There was tremendous joy and happiness as we welcomed this new family member into our family,” Parker said in the live-streamed video introduction.

“The week that brought such joy into my family was the week that brought such loss and pain to families and communities around our country.”

Last week, two African-American men were killed by police officers in Louisiana and Minnesota. The following weekend, five Dallas police officers were killed at the tail end of an otherwise peaceful protest march in response to those killings.

In Greenville, both Friday and Saturday nights, citizens rallied downtown for planned peaceful protests. Friday night was widely without incident, while Saturday resulted in five arrests and a tasing.

Enter CurioCity. The goal of the brand, associated with GVLtoday, is to make Greenville “the most curious city around.”

The goal of CurioCity events is to provide space, to create an environment for meaningful and vulnerable conversation around complicated topics in the Greenville community and around the world.

Hom e i s... the meeting spot for the neighborhood club.

Jonathan Parker, moderator

“Sadly, it generally takes a crisis, an outbreak of violence that no one can ignore, for us to gather as a community with those of differing points of view for a conversation,” Parker said. “We must engage the conversation before the crisis comes home to us.”

Ken Miller, Greenville police chief

Miller discussed the Greenville Police Department, citing that the majority of their recruiting budget is currently going to diverse recruitment. He said he has a police compensation plan drafted that he believes makes Greenville competitive for diverse officers.

“Implicit bias is something that I believe is important for police to focus on,” he said. He also cited that the force is reviewing bids for body cameras, which he hopes to have implemented by this fall.

Jalen Elrod, community organizer

“A lot of people like to assume that the issues between the African-American community and law enforcement community started in August 2014 in Ferguson, Mo., and that simply isn’t true,” he said. “For anyone to suggest that 200 years of racial tyranny does not have implications that reverberate to the present is naïve.”

David Taylor, director of Momentum Bike Clubs

Taylor addressed the geographic segregation issue from the perspective of the mentoring program he runs for at-risk youth. “We need an intentional proximity of people with color and people who are different, so we can build that bridge,” he said.

Zachary Brewster, pastor of St. Matthew Baptist Church

“What we’re really fighting is each other,” Brewster said. “Until we come into more rooms like this, we’re not working together.”

He challenged the panelists to bring the collaboration of the panel back into their own daily lives. “If you say something different in that room, something you wouldn’t say if you weren’t on camera, then you aren’t having accountability to have that conversation.”

Is Greenville ready if protestors get out of hand?

Greenville Police recently received riot gear, but only two platoons have been trained in field force techniques so far CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Back-to-back fatal shootings of black men by white officers in Louisiana and Minnesota last week have prompted days of protests in downtown Greenville and across the country.

It also has raised a question: Is Greenville ready if protests turn violent like they have in the past in Ferguson, Mo., and Baltimore after deaths of black men at the hands of police officers?

Chief Ken Miller says yes, although he said the best path is to avoid problems in the first place through communication and cooperation between police and protestors.

The Greenville Police Department just received field force gear — shields, helmets, elbow pads, kneepads and wooden batons — after Miller discovered last spring the department had “no instructors, no training and almost no gear.” He said the previous police chief had no interest in buying any.

“Hopefully, we’ll never need it, but all you have to do is look at the world and what’s happening,” he said.

The equipment, which will equip 130 officers, has trickled in — some of the equipment was backordered as police departments all over the country ordered the same gear, he said.

Two of the department’s five platoons have been trained on field force techniques, but those platoons were off on Saturday when a protest turned confrontational after some protesters blocked streets in downtown Greenville and threatened to block Interstate 385, Miller said.

Miller said those platoons weren’t called in to work because police had worked out

a plan with protest organizers for Saturday after Friday protestors commandeered the stage at the downtown music festival Main Street Fridays for about 10 minutes. Protestors also had minor violations of some of the city’s rules on picketing, such as getting in the street when sidewalks narrowed or to avoid an obstacle.

“Those were pretty minor violations to provoke a fight,” Miller said. He has since told protestors the city will enforce its rules on picketing for future demonstrations.

“Hopefully, we’ll never need [field force gear], but all you have to do is look at the world and what’s happening.”

Greenville Police Chief Ken Miller

He said tactical units from other law enforcement agencies were available for most of Saturday night but were released about a half hour before protesters decided to close roads and take I-385.

Some SWAT team members responded to the scene with long guns, a sight Miller

described as intimidating even to him.

Miller said the department has pepper spray and foam, and four supervisors with the department carry beanbag rounds that can be shot from firearms. He said beanbag rounds are not designed to be lethal but can be if they are not deployed correctly. Chemical munitions such as tear gas, smoke and flash bangs can also help disperse a crowd, he said.

The department has access to equipment owned by the FBI, SLED and other police agencies as well. One of those devices is a long-range acoustic device, or LRAD, a device sometimes used by law enforcement to disperse crowds because it sends loud,

ear-piercing sounds. Airports also use the devices to keep wildlife off runways.

Miller said SWAT was preparing to use the LRAD device to disperse a crowd of about 25 people sitting on the steps of the Bon Secours Wellness Arena and refused to leave. Miller asked them to delay so he could explain to the group what was about to happen. He said using the device without the warning would have been “too much at that time.” The group left without police using the device.

“Sometimes slowing things down helps us,” Miller said. “But we’re only half the equation. The bottom line is that people’s behavior determines if people get arrested.”

Upstate Black Lives Matter and Fighting Injustice Together have organized several protests in downtown Greenville since two black men were fatally shot by white officers in Louisiana and Minnesota last week.

George Dubose, founder of Reedy River Farms, took a unique approach to health in 2013, which has turned into not only a lifestyle change, but a career reboot. He was in a graduate English program when he moved to a North Carolina farm for eight months.

“I was really fat and unhealthy, and didn’t like my career,” he said.

His business partner, Chris Miller, was studying environmental science and feeling overwhelmed about the state of the world food system when he showed up in the same farming apprentice program.

A 45-minute drive to Cowpens at the Thickety Mountain Farm reveals a similar story. Clemson University assistant professor and licensed architect Sallie HambrightBelue and her husband, Brent Belue, started cultivating their family’s land when Brent was looking for a more fulfilling career and Sallie become involved with relating architecture in rural South Carolina.

However they came into the world of farming, they have similar missions: to make a living growing food.

Local food for local eaters

This is where Mike McGirr, founder of Feed and Seed, comes in. The nonprofit dedicated to the reconnection of regionally produced food has helped spur the rise in local restaurants purchasing produce from nearby growers.

McGirr has spent years forging connections with local farmers and community consumers.

“It’s literally a one-on-one conversation,” McGirr said. “I specifically go out to the properties and spend hours with each farmer.”

That’s just the start of the process. Proving that a small-scale farm can make a living from selling wholesale locally is a feat that includes the cohesion of farmers, sellers, chefs and consumers.

One of the major players is the successful Greenville restaurant Bacon Bros., founded

by Jason Callaway. He recently purchased wholesale potatoes from Thickety Mountain Farms for their fries and chips.

Despite the growing trend in the food industry of creating menus around locally sourced ingredients, for Callaway and his team, it’s about quality and freshness.

“When they come from a local farm, it’s a week-old potato, if that,” he said.

“My entire staff is passionate about [local food] and that breeds additional excitement about food and farms,” Callaway said.

“And you’re committed to the community.

Ten years ago, our average consumer could care less, but there’s a heightened awareness about it, and more people are wanting to know where their food comes from.”

along. Because they are a small urban farm, it only makes sense economically to sell small batches to local eateries and at farmers markets.

“We were hustling. We basically would be breaking down back doors and kept on bringing samples and sending them a sheet every week of what we had,” Dubose said. “We tried to give a good product and not a flea-bitten piece of kale.”

And it worked. Greg McPhee, current executive chef at Restaurant 17 who is set to help open The Anchorage in the Village of West Greenville, started buying different produce every week. The farm’s main transportation is a cargo bike, which they can deliver on the same day.

While Thickety Mountain Farms is in their first stages of selling to local entities, they play an important role in showing other farmers what wholesale distri-

bution locally can look like.

“That’s where we might get one two or three farmers to say ‘I want that, I want access to that,’” said McGirr. “They have to see it actually working before they are going to start adapting their processes and adapt into the market in a different way.”

Feed & Seed has established relationships with dozens farmers across the 10-county Upstate and announced plans Tuesday to expand into a new food hub, which will be located at 159 Welborn St. with three entities run by Bacon Bros., including a butchery, a bakery and a diner. (Read more in this week’s Upstate Business Journal.)

In June, Reedy River Farms broke ground at a new location on Pendleton Street in the Village of West Greenville.

Now, they are preparing the land for fall planting.

If you’ve spent any time biking, running or walking on the Greenville Health System Swamp Rabbit Trail, the variety of eateries and small businesses along the trail have probably caught your eye and piqued your interest.

To satisfy all inquisitive minds, we’re curating a list of stops to check out along the trail, starting with a few in Travelers Rest. This is the beginning of an ongoing series, so be on the lookout for future articles highlighting additional stops.

For convenience, we’re featuring places that are only 1/4 of a mile away from the trail, so you don’t have to veer too far off of your planned route to reach these destinations.

PROVISIONS 1. UPCOUNTRY BAKERY AND BISTRO 6809 State Park Road, Travelers Rest (Closed Sundays and Mondays) Upcountry Provisions aims to use organic and local produce when possible. Their breakfast menu includes bagels, breakfast sandwiches, muffins and scones, and their coffee is locally roasted by West End Coffee. They also sell freshly baked bread, and their baking schedule can be found on their Facebook page. For lunch and dinner, we recommend ordering the Swamp Rabbit vegetarian wrap, the Caesars Head chicken wrap or the Poinsett Club turkey sandwich.

Upcountry Provisions also has a rustic outdoor space called The Grove, which features a “softdeveloped” landscape that makes guests feel as if they’re out in the woods. On Friday nights, Upcountry Provisions hosts live music at The Grove, where guests can enjoy hors d’oeuvres and selections of craft beer and wine.

FOREST 2. THE COFFEEHOUSE 27 S. Main St., Travelers Rest

AT 3. CAFÉ WILLIAMS HARDWARE 13 S. Main St., Travelers Rest

The Forest Coffeehouse began by serving coffee directly sourced from a farm in Zimbabwe. Today, the store has expanded to include coffee originating from Nicaragua, Brazil, Guatemala, Tanzania and Colombia, among other locations.

Their coffee is roasted locally each day and brought to the store as soon as it’s packaged to ensure each cup has the ultimate freshness and flavor.

If you want to buy their coffee for your home or office, all the store’s roasts are available for purchase in grounds or whole beans packaged in re-sealable bags. Customers also have the option to buy whole beans in bulk and pay by the pound.

The coffeehouse’s most popular selection is the Farmhouse variety, a blend of medium roasted coffees from Leopard Forest’s Crake Valley Estate in Zimbabwe and the Selva Negra Estate in Nicaragua. This coffee delivers a sweet and smooth taste with subtle notes of chocolate and berry.

As the name implies, the café is housed in what was formerly the Williams Hardware store. The store is part café, part upscale gift shop.

The Café at Williams Hardware specializes in Southern comfort food. Lunch hours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday through Thursday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Weekend breakfast hours are 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. The store has rotating daily specials each day in addition to their standard menu items.

If you visit the café on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, you’ll have the opportunity to order Chef Christina Halstead’s BLT on pimento cheese buttermilk biscuit with red pepper jelly (dubbed “THE Biscuit”), a dish that recently won a national award from General Mills.

4. COPPERHEAD MOUNTAIN DISTILLERY 14 S. Main St., Travelers Rest (Closed Sundays and Mondays)

HONEY BEE 5. CAROLINA COMPANY 10 S. Main St., Travelers Rest (Closed Sundays and Mondays)

Copperhead Mountain Distillery is the first legal distillery in Travelers Rest. Their motto, “Moderation is good, so drink something great,” is fitting for a producer of slow, handcrafted spirits. The employees are very knowledgeable about the history of moonshine in the United States, so ask them about it if you’re curious.

If you want to purchase libations, the Snakebite Corn Whiskey Moonshine is the store’s original product and a customer favorite.

In the hot summer months, popular varieties include watermelon, blueberry, peach and tropical pineapple. The store is also known for its moonshine jelly and hot sauce.

The founders of Carolina Honey Bee Company have beekeeping roots in their family going back more than 100 years. In addition to their own hives throughout the Upstate, the company partners with local beekeepers throughout the region.

The company’s honey is always pure and unfiltered, and they primarily carry sourwood, poplar and wildflower honeys. Other varieties, including tupelo and orange blossom, are available when in season.

The store also sells health and beauty products derived from pure beeswax, including lotions, bar and pump soap, body butter and lip balm, and beekeeping supplies.

COMMUNITY Game On

with Vincent Harris

Bocce social imports Italian sport to Greenville to have some yard games that people could get together and enjoy on a lazy Sunday afternoon and have some fun. We’ll have rules printed up for everybody so they can pick it up as they go.”

There’s a certain amount of knowledge one is expected to have if one is going to write about sports, so it is with a heavy heart that I must make a confession: Before this week, I knew very little about the Italian sport called bocce.

After doing a little research, I now know that bocce is similar in theory to curling or croquet, with a little bowling thrown in. The object is to place a small ball (or a “jack” in bocce-speak) in as favorable a position as possible within a certain area of the playing field, and once you’ve done that, you either underhand-throw larger balls (helpfully called “bocce balls”) as close to the jack as possible to better position it, or use them knock your opponents' balls further away.

Everybody up to speed? Good.

It takes a great deal of precision to play bocce well, but it’s a fun way to pass the time regardless, which is what the Young Benefactors group had in mind when they scheduled the first-ever Bocce Social this Sunday. The event will be held on the lawn adjacent to Swamp Rabbit Crossfit on Peden Street in Greenville, adjacent to the Greenville Health System

Swamp Rabbit Trail.

The Young Benefactors are a group of business professionals dedicated to helping the Governor’s School for the Arts Foundation raise money, specifically for the Governor’s School’s Guest Artist program. As part of that fundraising drive, the group has created the Bocce Social, proceeds from which will go towards bringing guest artists of all stripes to the school to exhibit their work.

And don’t worry if you’re interested in buying a ticket but you still aren’t clear on how to play bocce. “We’re calling it a ‘social’ for just that reason,” says Meredith Cook, the annual programs and events coordinator for the Governor’s School for the Arts Foundation.

“It’s open to everybody, because we wanted

So how does one settle on bocce as the theme for a fundraiser? Cook says that the idea came after some group brainstorming. “We were trying to think of something that would be fun and relaxing and we could get the community involved in, and bocce just seemed like a fun thing to do,” Cook says.

Cook says that the guest artist program provides value both to Governor’s School students and to Greenville in general. “Money raised from this event will go towards bringing artists from around the country and the world onto the Governor’s School campus throughout the year,” Cook says.

Previous guest artists have included author Lauren Groff and playwright and screenwriter John Patrick Shanley (“Doubt,” “Moonstruck”).

“This program brings extraordinary artists who are working professionally in their fields to work with our students and show them what

Greenville County School District students might abandon the cafeteria for the curb. Last week, the district invited about 30 students from the Kroc Center day camp to sample a cheeseburger from the window of its latest addition – a food truck. It was a hit. The truck will begin serving food to students on July 18. It’s being used to service the district’s free summer lunch program, held at 52 locations throughout Greenville. The program serves about 5,300 meals per a day.

HOME Put Your Apron On with Emily Yepes

Nothing says lovin’ like a mug cake from the microwave If you’ve spent any time on Pinterest, you’ve probably seen recipes for “mug cake.” In theory, mug cakes are a brilliant idea. They make just a single serving, are quick to prepare with ingredients you likely have on hand, and “bake” in the microwave in just a couple of minutes. Unfortunately, most recipes are a disappointment. They tend to be spongy, almost elastic — like a dish sponge, not like a sponge cake.

I began experimenting with mug cakes in preparation for a recent glamping trip over the Fourth of July weekend in the Great Smoky Mountains. (Glamping, for those who are unfamiliar, is glamorous camping. A real bed, air conditioning and a shower, all while being out in the middle of the woods.)

I packed our food for the entire trip and knew we would be limited to a mini fridge, a coffeepot, a microwave and a gas grill. I had no interest in spending four days in the wilderness without a proper dessert. Maybe that’s because I’m pregnant, or maybe (more likely) because I just like treats. But there would be no freezer for ice cream and no oven. The microwave was going to have to produce something worthwhile.

I managed to find a mug cake recipe that serves as a decent impostor of oven-baked caked. It’s dark chocolatey, moist and surprisingly close to normal cake texture.

It’s just sweet enough to satisfy the roaring sugar dragon (though you can add more sugar if you prefer). The original recipe calls for a gooey center of Nutella, but I’m not a fan of the popular spread (gasp! I know, pick up your jaw). I subbed chocolate chips mixed throughout the batter instead. After microwaving, the chocolate chips create melted, gooey pockets of chocolate to be discovered with each spoonful. If you happen to have some vanilla ice cream in the freezer, you’ve got yourself a warm chocolate cake

Warm Chocolate Mug Cake with Melted Chocolate Chips (modified from TableForTwoBlog.com)

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (Do NOT use self rising. Pamela’s Gluten-Free All-Purpose Blend works well for those who are GF.) • 2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder • 1/4 tsp. baking powder • 2 tbsp. granulated sugar (you can add 1 tbsp. more if you like it a bit sweeter) • 1/8 tsp. salt • 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp. milk • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil • 2 tbsp. chocolate chips (or 1 tbsp. Nutella) Instructions In a medium bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.

Whisk in the milk and vegetable oil until all ingredients are combined and batter has no clumps.

Pour batter into a microwave-safe mug. I recommend a 14-ounce mug. You want enough space for the cake to rise without pouring over.

Stir in chocolate chips (or drop the Nutella in the middle of the batter. No need to push it down and sink it in the batter).

Microwave mug cake for 60 seconds on high. Quickly open the microwave door and peek at the batter. Cook for 10 more seconds; check the batter. Continue microwaving in 10-second intervals, taking care to peek as quickly as possible between intervals, until most of the shine from the raw batter has dissipated. You want to stop cooking immediately once it no longer looks shiny to avoid overcooking the cake. (Overcooked cake will be rubbery.) a la mode in less than five minutes. No leftovers to sit around and test your guilty conscience, and no turning on the oven in the South Carolina summer.

Buyers from all over the country have been asking for it, so Crescent Communities and Lake Keowee Real Estate are here to deliver! We are introducing a new cottage concept for Lake Keo wee Living called The Cottages at Riverbirch. This gated, planned community consists of 31 wooded, waterfront home sites in a low-maintenance community. Craftsman-style cottages with exposed beams and stone entry are now being offered in three attractive models, all with open floor plans and beautiful outdoor living spaces. Buyers have recently been saying that “less is

more” and so this community will offer floor plans of 2070, 2588 and 2705 finished square feet, rather than the traditional larger home sizes found in our lakefront communities.

In order to make it easy for our buyers, lot surveys are already done, dock permits have been obtained, septic permits are on file with SC DHEC, and financial institutions are prepared to start lending money for this construction project. And if you aren’t ready to build yet, you can buy the lot now and build at a later date.

Sister Act Centre Stage takes a nostalgic look at the Andrews Sisters

The cast of “Sisters of Swing,” opening July 21 a Centre Stage.

LETY GOOD | STAFF

lgood@communityjournals.com

During a time when the nation needed a morale boost, three sisters set out to make a difference with their music. The Andrews Sisters’ swing tunes made a positive impact in many American soldiers’ lives during a difficult time in our nation, and their harmonies are still influential today.

“Sisters of Swing: The Andrews Sisters Musical” at Centre Stage will take audiences back in time to the boogie-woogie era of WWII and tell the story of a group of three sisters who made it big.

The musical follows the lives of LaVerne, Maxene and Patty Andrews from their early days on the road to their stardom, traveling all over the world entertaining American GIs, to their breakup. Selling more than 90 million records, the Andrews Sisters today are still one of the best-selling female vocal groups of all time.

Melissa Murphy, who plays the role of Maxene, said that if she could go back in time, she would pick the Andrews Sisters’ era. After graduating from Western Michigan University with a degree in musical theatre performance, Murphy put a hold on her music and arts career. But when she

and her husband moved to Greenville and she saw how important the arts were in the community, Murphy felt it was time to get back in touch with her passion.

With some persuasion from a friend who happened to be involved with Centre Stage, she began researching the “Sisters of Swing” show and was “instantly attracted.”

Murphy soon auditioned for the role of Maxene, the rebellious middle sister, and got the part. “I just love the clothes,” Murphy said. “It’s just really fun, and dancing to boogie-woogie in the show are some of my favorite parts.”

The musical includes hit songs by the

Andrews Sisters such as “Bei Mir Bit Du Schon,” “Don’t Sit Under the Apple Tree” and “Boogie-Woogie Bugle Boy.”

CULTURE Sound Check Notes on the Music Scene with Vincent Harris

The Get Right Band tunnel through musical boundaries Crossword puzzle: page 42

Sudoku puzzle: page 42

䄀 倀攀攀欀 䄀琀 伀甀爀 ㈀ ㄀㘀ⴀ㈀ ㄀㜀 匀攀愀猀漀渀℀ The Get Right Band’s new album, dropping Aug. 5, is called “Who’s in Charge?” It’s a fair question, at least as it applies to the music on the album.

The Asheville trio achieves such a seamless synthesis of styles from song to song that it’s difficult to figure out which genre is in charge.

The title track, for example, starts with a mellow reggae groove. But then the song blooms into a full-on anthemic rock tune in the chorus before throwing in a tightly syncopated, near-prog-rock bridge.

The song establishes a pattern for the rest of the album. There are gritty rockers, spacy Pink Floydian interludes, feel-good jam-band tunes and some pretty heavy wigged-out funk.

In other words, it’s exactly the kind of allinfluences-welcome music that the band has aimed to make since the beginning.

“The bass player, Jesse Gentry, and I put this band together in 2011,” says singer/guitarist Silas Durocher. “And we really wanted to have a project that didn’t limit us. We wanted a band where we could make one night really song-based, and one night really improvisationbased. We could play a blues song, a rock song, a reggae song, acoustic, electric, whatever. We could play everything. We wanted as few limits as possible.”

The idea of creative freedom isn’t a new one, but Durocher says that the urge to play “everything” really comes from the band’s sense of who they are. “We really try to be honest with ourselves and create music from a place that’s real and present and not focus too much on what we think will sell,” he says. “Of course, we want our music to sell, but we think about that later. For us to really be honest and present at a show or in the studio, we need to have that flexibility to be creative from wherever we’re at.

So if we just had to play blues or whatever else, and that’s not where we were emotionally or

spiritually, then it wouldn’t feel honest to us.”

Asheville is just about perfect for a group like the Get Right Band (who will play Downtown Alive at NOMA Square next Thursday), or at least modern-day Asheville is. “For a long time it was mainly known for bluegrass and folk and Americana,” Durocher says. “But I think that’s really changed over the years. Asheville’s got a lot of different stuff going on, a lot of different styles. We find a lot of people who dig what we’re doing for different reasons. Hopefully there’s something for everybody in what we’re doing.”

On the band’s previous album, 2014’s “Bass Treble Angel Devil,” they’d only been playing with drummer J. C. Mears for a few months.

Now, after two years and around 300 shows, Durocher says the group has evolved from individuals into a tight, cohesive unit. “We’ve changed a lot,” he says. “You can’t substitute anything for that time. It does something wonderful for a band like ours to get closer as friends and musicians. We learn about each other’s playing and anticipate what we’re going to do. We form this one-mind thing where improvisationally we’ll all go to the same place without cues or planning. And we were able to bring that chemistry into this new album.”

To Bangkok and back Taylor Moore’s musical journey brings him home at last VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR

vharris@communityjournals.com

Greenville’s Taylor Moore makes music that’s straightforward and enjoyable. He’s a skilled guitar player who’s equally adept on acoustic and electric guitars. His sturdy, melodic songwriting is an infectious blend of vintage folk, pop and rock in the vein of Edwin McCain or Jack Johnson. And his voice has just the right mix of grit and polish.

But while his music is straightforward, Taylor’s journey away from and back to the Upstate has been anything but.

Moore began performing in Charleston while attending college. “I’d go out and play the bars and wake up with a little money in my pocket,” he says. “And I’d think, ‘Hey, I might be on to something.’”

Honing his craft in the Holy City, Moore became a reliable songwriter and enough of a concert draw that he could tour up and down the East Coast from Key West to New York. And that’s just about the last familiarsounding part of his story.

Because in addition to music, Moore pursued teaching English as a second language, and he wanted his CELTA (Certificate in Teaching English to Adults) certification.

He signed up for an intensive one-month course in Chiang Mai, Thailand, in 2013.

“Before the course started, I was walking around this old city in Chiang Mai, and I heard this girl singing,” Moore says. “And it was absolutely gorgeous. Her name was Anna, and I went up to her and told her I was a musician and a bandleader, and so we starting playing together. She told me she was going to try out for ‘Thailand’s Got Talent’ and asked me if I wanted to be in a duo with her, and I said, ‘Why not?’ We did one of my original songs, got through the audition and then I took the course. I didn’t find out until after I was finished with the course that we were going to Bangkok for Round 1.”

From there, it was a bit of a whirlwind for Moore. “It was bizarre,” he says. “There was no one speaking English, and I don’t speak

Thai. I never knew what the hell was going on; I was trying to get Anna to translate and she kept saying, ‘I’ll tell you later.’”

Though they didn’t get much farther, the duo did have a taste of fame, playing a 1,000seat theater and even appearing in some memorable TV ads. But even after the show, and after getting his CELTA, there was more adventure waiting for Moore.

“I went to Vietnam,” he says. “I ran out of money running around Thailand, and when we lost it was like, ‘Crap, I guess I’ve got to make money somehow.’ So I kind of just walked over to Vietnam because there were

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

Dodge the post-brunch coma The place // The Nose Dive The order // Avocado Toast In the beginning, there were three square meals per day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. We ate these meals at regular intervals and we were satisfied. We were industrious because our hunger was sated, and the world was good.

But then came weekends — Saturdays and Sundays — when we did not have to be as industrious. Our days of leisure — and the possibility of sleeping in — were disrupted by the demands of our three square meals, namely breakfast. And on these days, though our hunger was still sated, we could not sleep in as late, and as such, our world was not as good.

And so weekend brunch was invented — a way to circumvent the tyranny of breakfast early in the morning. This combination of breakfast and lunch — consumed anywhere between late morning and early afternoon — became the rallying cry of lazy Saturdays and hungover Sundays. And because we could sleep in late without missing a meal, the world was good again.

more jobs than there are teachers, so it was pretty easy to get work. And I kept playing.

In fact, I enjoyed playing in Hanoi more than anything else. They had some really cool clubs there, and I had a good following after two years of playing around the city.”

In fact, when Moore finally did return home to the Upstate earlier this year (he’ll be playing a show at the Reedy River Concert Series on Wednesday), he experienced what he calls “reverse culture shock” that took him somewhat by surprise. “All of a sudden I could understand what everybody was saying and I could understand the radio,” he says. “It was driving me crazy.”

Moore says his Reedy River show is going to be a mix of musical friends from Charleston and the Upstate. “We’ve got some horn players from the Mill Town Brass Band, so we’ll have some New Orleans flavor,” he says. “And I’ll have as many special guests as we can get up there.”

But then brunch became Brunch. It turned from a simple celebration of leisure into a full-blown pageant replete with bottomless boozing and menus that preferred extravagant, decadent and obscene cardiac arrests bearing little resemblance to the original crossover hits of brunch. And though the world was not bad, it also was not necessarily good.

Andrew Huang

an afterthought — more garnish than anything else — but it’s a nice balance against all the richness in the eggs and the avocado.

The only thing I found wanting was the bread.

The slices of French toast were too thin and narrow for my liking, wilting under the weight of the avocado spread. And though grilled, the bread didn’t have enough of the crunch or crustiness that would have provided a nice counterpoint to all the smooth, creamy textures. Furthermore, there wasn’t enough bread left over for mopping up golden yolky goodness — a definite waste, and very nearly a crime in my book.

But bread shortcomings aside, the avocado toast was a revelation. I spent the afternoon on my feet instead of in a coma. It was a reminder of a simpler, less calorically catastrophic brunch. And so my world, at least, was good again.

Pros

Because although there is a place for thicksliced French toast stuffed with caramelized apples, goat cheese and maple syrup, a caloric gut-bomb like that pretty much guarantees my day of leisure turns into a full day of recovery from overindulgence — and that’s before adding in my mimosa or bloody mary intake.

+ Simple, refreshing brunch option.

Which is why I was excited to spot the avocado toast on The Nose Dive’s brunch menu last Sunday. It’s simple: three slices of grilled French toast each smeared with fresh avocado spread, a couple of poached eggs, all resting on a bed of mixed greens.

Cons

The avocado spread is generously applied, and while it’s mild and smooth with all that “good” fat, the spread manages to keep from being bland. There’s cilantro and jalapeno blended in, and also a hit of acidity, which no doubt keeps the avocado from turning an unappetizing shade of brown. The eggs are nicely poached as well, with yolks ready to ooze more richness onto the plate as soon as you dig into them. The green salad is almost

+ Is there anything not made better by an egg? How about two poached eggs? + Still creamy, rich and satisfying, without absolutely overloading your system with heaviness.

- Needs more bread. The toast wilts under the avocado spread, and there isn’t any left over at the end to mop up the creamy yolk from the poached eggs.

Egan and Johnson to lead Warehouse Theatre CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

Animal Care’s

Correspondent

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Two familiar names will lead The Warehouse Theatre while a soon-tobe-created search committee looks for a permanent leader.

Chip Egan, a former Warehouse board member who Egan has directed and acted in the theater’s productions, will serve as interim artistic director for the 2016–17 season.

Jason D. Johnson, the theater’s director of marketing since 2014, will Johnson serve as the interim executive director.

They replace Paul Savas, who resigned as artistic and executive director last month.

“We will be focused on continued

growth,” Johnson said. “We’re focusing on making the Main Stage shows as great and as successful as they possibly can be, and we’re focusing on growing our educational programs. We’re not going to sit idly by and keep the status quo.”

Johnson said the board expects to have a search committee for the theater’s permanent leadership in place in August. The goal, he said, would be to have a new executive and artistic director in place by the start of the 2017-18 season.

Don’t let fur babies have more babies.

We’re half way through summer.

Every day I see more babies coming through the doors at Animal Care, and boy are they cute! What you might not realize is that there are more puppies and kittens being born every day than there are humans to adopt them! That’s why I’m here to ask, plea, BEG you to help spread the word about how important it is to spay and neuter your pets. It’s simple, really, if you look at the math: one unspayed female dog, her mate, and all their puppies and their puppies’ puppies could add up to 67,000 new dogs within 6 years. It’s even more for cats! Please spay and neuter your pets and help reduce pet overpopulation. Tell everyone you know just how many lives it will save!

CULTURE Sound Bites HEYLOOK ENTERTAINMENT PRESENTS THE JAM JAMS, MIGHTY & SILVERMANE Radio Room, 2845 N. Pleasantburg Drive, Greenville Saturday, July 16, 9 p.m.

The Jam Jams’ sound is a true dose of all-for-one rock ‘n’ roll. Their songs are a unified blast of riffs and hooks with a surprisingly flexible, almost bouncy rhythm section underneath, and once they’re into a groove, it can be as unstoppable as a boulder rolling down a mountain. Singer/ guitarist Michael Morris formed the band after his duo, the No Counts, dissolved in 2015. “After the No Counts fizzled out, we took a break from music,” says singer/guitarist Michael Morris. “But I’d never stopped wanting to be in a band. I met Zach Young, our guitar player, at the Radio Room when we were looking to start something.” After bassist Preston James and drummer Chase Prince came on board, the Jam Jams were ready to roll with a larger sound. “It’s more expansive,” Morris says. “The No Counts were more primitive. That was my first attempt at songwriting, and I didn’t know too much about it at the time. We have a lead guitar now, so we get to take big melodic lines, and throw them right in front.”

THE VILLIVE SUMMER CONCERT SERIES PRESENTS THE DANIELLE HOWLE BAND The Village, West Greenville Friday, July 15, 6 p.m.

Danielle Howle is certainly capable of pulling off a great solo acoustic show. Her material is a fascinating mix of folk delicacy, bluesy earthiness and rock attitude, and her voice is a deep, sensual instrument that does her last name proud. But she really shines with a skilled band, which is which is where this Friday’s show with guitarist Zach Bodtorf, drummer Josh Kean, bassist Sean Kelly and keyboard player Alex Goyette comes in. “There are dynamics within the storytelling of each song that be expressed through different instruments,” Howle says.

“This band pushes each other and they push me and that’s what it’s all about.” Howle is making her first appearance for the VILLive Concert Series, and she’s excited about where Greenville’s music scene is going. “It’s to be a part of a new concert series,” she says. “Greenville’s got it going on, and some of the best musicians in the world come from the Upstate.”

SOUL SERVICE Soundbox Tavern, 507 W. Georgia Road, Simpsonville Saturday, July 16, 9:30 p.m.

Singer/keyboardist Audrey Hamilton is a powerhouse live performer who can be seen in singing with various groups around town, most notably the LOZ Band and the Craig Sorrells Project. But when she formed Soul Service last year, the idea was to create a musical family, both literally and figuratively. “Most people don’t know that Soul Service started with my brother and me,” she says. “We’d always wanted to play music together, all the other groups I was in, and there wasn’t an opportunity for him and me to do shows together.” But soon after the band formed, Hamilton’s brother got a job that took him out of the area, so Soul Service became a more symbolic musical family while they honed in on their gritty blend of vintage rock, soul and funk. Hamilton says the band’s hosting of a weekly open-mic night at Soundbox Tavern was crucial in their evolution. “It’s been amazing for our development to be able to play for that many hours on a regular basis,” Hamilton says. “It’s a great opportunity for a band that’s just starting out, because you can build up a repertoire.”

Only on Augusta Summer’s here, and the time is right for the annual Summer on Augusta celebration LETY GOOD | STAFF

lgood@communityjournals.com

The Augusta Road area is known for being one of Greenville’s most historic business districts. It’s also known for the Summer on Augusta celebration that brings the community, businesses and local history together for a weekend packed with entertainment.

The fourth annual Summer on Augusta (SOA) festival, presented by Virginia Hayes of Coldwell Banker Caine, will feature returning popular events such as the tomato pie contest, block party at Capers Place, Grillin’ and Chillin’ BBQ Fest at Augusta Commons, Hound Dog Social at Augusta Village and Shaggin’ on Augusta.

The SOA community shuttle will also be returning, but will have a new feature this year. People in the Augusta Road neighborhood will be able to text the number on the event’s website to be picked up. The shuttle, added last year, is sponsored and serviced by Primrose School of Greenville.

Two new events at the festival this year

The annual event that takes place all along Augusta Road is created by members of the Augusta Road Business Association and held in celebration of summer, bringing the community of Augusta Road and the vicinity together for food, music and family friendly activities.

“Since its inception, Summer on Augusta has always been a summer highlight for my family and me,” Hayes said. “Having grown up in a small town where its unique retailers and restaurants couldn’t withstand the test of time, I know the importance of supporting our vibrant community. Summer on Augusta sheds light on the treasured business community found on Augusta Road, and I’m

excited to see the impact it will have again this year.”

Summer on Augusta kicks off on Thursday, July 28, with a block party at Capers Place at 1803 Augusta St. with music by West End String Band, food provided by The Chuck Truck and beverages by Liquid Catering.

Where I’ve Been with Bill Koon

Exploding beans, unfried chickens and other culinary confessions Over the years, I have used this space to suggest a few things about food. Tips like “always count the bay leaves” and “shrimp won’t boil while you are in the same room with it” have resonated in the kitchens of the Upstate. And many of my readers have thanked me for the suggestion that “when you spill a cup of blueberries or cocktail peanuts on the kitchen floor, take off your shoes.” Likewise with my observation that “the best way to stop eating chips is to go ahead and finish the bag.”

And today I want to talk a little more about the culinary experiences that inform my insights.

It started during my brief career as a Boy Scout. Our parents cheered us on in our various outdoor expeditions, and we loved going to camp even though our equipment was worn-out Army surplus stuff — thin sleeping bags, patched tents, fatigue caps that didn’t fit, etc.

Amidst all this detritus was a stove, which was a simple little tripod that would hold a can of Sterno with space just above it for a pot. These things put out the heat of a flashlight and would not fry an egg in an eon. So, in hungry impatience, I created a new way to heat pork ’n’ beans.

I gathered some pine straw around the can and lit it up. The beans got hot fast, which is why the unopened can exploded, and even today I am thankful that I was not killed by pork ’n’ beans or a forest fire.

As a college student, I lived in the basement of a house owned by a wonderful lady who allowed me to keep a hot plate. Didn’t occur to her that it might be dangerous to have a college kid drinking beer and cooking on a burner just under her bedroom.

these days look like finger food.

My best recipe began with a pot of instant mashed potatoes. Then I heated up a can of Dinty Moore Beef Stew (by then I had learned to empty the ingredients into a pot and not to cook the can itself). I poured the warm stew, which was packed with potatoes, over the warm mashed potatoes. And, voila, my appetite was satisfied almost immediately — the double potatoes make the Ramen noodles so prominent on campuses

One last adventure: Like most Southern boys, I have always loved fried chicken. My mother cooked it in lard (she kept a big can of Crisco on the kitchen counter) in a black cast-iron frying pan that had taken on generations of chickens. I’m salivating as I write this, and I’m getting angry that my brother snatched that frying pan out of the estate.

Once in a while, when she really needed a break, she’d put me on the train in Columbia’s Union Station, bound for Spartanburg and a stay with my aunt who had a wonderful cook whose specialty was, you guessed it, fried chicken.

The train stopped in small towns along the way, and in one of those, maybe Laurens, the local ladies offered box lunches that we passengers could buy out of the window of the train. That chicken was greasy and lovely, and those lunch stops are still among my best memories.

I tried many times to duplicate such chicken but never succeeded. I did learn that part of secret was the freshness of the chicken. And back in the ’60s, I took a share with some other daring students in a subsistence farm experiment. We raised the birds without a lot of trouble. But then we ran into a big problem: No one wanted to kill them.

Years later and still on the trail of the delicacy, I saw an ad for fresh chickens over at the Clemson Poultry Science Department. A pot of gold, I said, and called to order half a dozen. When I picked them up, I found myself with a large cardboard box — which held the chickens, on the hoof.

I couldn’t kill them, either. Thus I found myself with six new pets — until I returned them to the poultry scientists without asking for a refund.

I believe that the perfect fried chicken is still out there, at the end of a rainbow somewhere. But I have given up my quest since, at this point in life, I wouldn’t be allowed to eat it anyway.
