Many mortgage lenders require a large down payment to avoid Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). We don’t.

Our adjustable rate mortgages do not require PMI unless you borrow more than 90% loan to value. That means you keep more of your money for moving, furnishing–whatever you need to make that house yours.

Talk to us about how you can save money with a competitive mortgage rate and lower down payment– whether you need an ARM or fixed rate, standard or jumbo.

OPINION

Greenville’s bus system leaves a lot to be desired

By Jeff Alden I was a lawyer in Minneapolis for over 35 years before my wife Paulette and I moved to Greenville, where she was born and raised, two years ago. Around the time of the Iraq War, I gave up my monthly parking space and started riding the bus to my office downtown. We’d just gone to war in the Middle East to protect our access to oil, but I was still driving to work every day and leaving my car sitting in a ramp the whole time. I wanted to do my part.

Minneapolis has an expansive bus system with routes that run often, with morefrequent trips and express lines to downtown during peak business hours. The buses run on time so you can count on one to be there when it’s supposed to be. Soon I recognized that other lawyers were riding my bus, along with secretaries, college students, bank tellers, department store clerks, downtown shoppers, and folks who worked at McDonald’s — none of us clogging the roads anymore as we bypassed the

rush-hour traffic in our dedicated lane.

One of the first things I noticed when I got to Greenville was that there weren’t many buses. Except for the red trolleys that seemed to be mostly for tourists going to Drive baseball games, there was hardly any public transit system as far as I could tell. But there was plenty of traffic congestion.

When I brought up the lack of bus service one evening at a dinner party not long after we arrived in Greenville, I was surprised to hear one of the other guests proclaim that “more funding of city buses would just be welfare.” After living here a while, I came to understand that much of the community views public transit as just another government entitlement for the poor. Of course, the truth is that public transportation does help the poor. It provides transportation for people who can’t afford a car but still need to get places — like to jobs, doctors’ offices, or grocery stores. Why it’s bad to provide a way for low-income

people to get around is beyond me.

The result of my dinner companion’s way of thinking is that Greenville and the surrounding area has one of the most underfunded bus systems in the South.

That ethos — that the system shouldn’t be adequately funded because it’s an entitlement — has been both self-fulfilling and self-defeating. In 2016, Greenlink spent 69 percent less on bus-system operations and 98 percent less on capital assets than its peers in comparably sized urban areas — cities such as Charleston, Columbia, Baton Rouge, La., and Greensboro and Winston-Salem, N.C. Greenville has a $5.6 million budget for transport compared to Charleston’s $17.6 million.

Along the way, Greenville has managed to create a transit system so lousy no one would want to ride unless they had no other alternative. The coverage, service hours, and frequency of trips make the city’s bus routes almost unusable for most. But by funding a bus system that serves only the

poor, Greenville is also serving the whole community poorly.

Greenvillians are rightly proud of their city. That man I met at dinner would be the first to tout Greenville’s downtown, its economy, and the infusion of big corporate business over the last 20 years. I’m proud of that Greenville, too. But that Greenville is in a big hole when it comes to supporting the life-blood of a healthy economic environment — an efficient public transportation system. Funding public transit isn’t welfare.

It’s a wise investment in a modern city.

Jeff Alden is a retired lawyer who recently moved to Greenville after practicing law in Minneapolis for 36 years. He now spends his time writing, running in Cleveland Park, and serving as a mediator with the Upstate Mediation Center.

SUMMER STORMS MEAN MORE MOSQUITOES, FORECAST SHOWS

WORDS BY ANDREW MOORE | ILLUSTRATIONS BY TIMOTHY BANKS If you’ve been swatting at the air above your head or sprinting indoors to escape a large swarm of bloodsucking pests, you’re not alone. The mosquitoes really are terrible this year, and they’re only expected to become more active in the coming weeks.

Quoting pest-management professionals, AccuWeather. com experts estimate that mosquito activity along the East Coast is two to three times higher this summer.

The website, which produces a forecast specifically focused on the pesky insects, predicts extreme mosquito activity in Greenville for much of the next two weeks.

“It makes sense considering the recent weather patterns we’ve seen across the Piedmont,” said Dr. Elmer Gray, a Clemson graduate and entomologist with the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension, who conducts research throughout parts of the Upstate.

Gray said this year’s mosquito season experienced a slow start in the Southeast due to a dry winter and cooler spring.

But above-average rainfall totals and high temperatures during the months of May, June, and July left many states, including South Carolina, with standing pools of water that provide ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes to lay their eggs and develop larvae.

Like butterflies, mosquitoes undergo a metamorphosis that includes an egg stage, larva stage, pupa stage, and adult stage, according to Gray. It takes about two weeks for mosquitoes to fully develop and hatch in standing water.

The bad news: Last week’s rains likely left behind large amounts of standing water that, combined with the heat and humidity, could speed up the maturation process of larvae and provide additional breeding locations for mosquitoes throughout the Upstate, Gray said.

He added that mosquito activity could remain elevated even if standing water evaporates.

DID YOU KNOW? The Greenville-Spartanburg area ranked No. 31 on Orkin’s Mosquito Cities list, which ranks metro areas by the number of new mosquito customers served from April 1, 2017, to March 31, 2018.

“There are other sources of water that have built up during the wet period that mosquitoes can use for breeding,” Gray said. “They often concentrate near bird baths and other structures that are capable of holding moisture.”

The bloodsucking pests also tend to concentrate in neighborhoods when people water their plants or let their kids play with the water hose or sprinkler in the yard, ac-

tivities that can leave standing water on the ground for breeding mosquitoes, he added.

While it’s hard to know exactly how long mosquito activity will remain elevated throughout the Piedmont, Gray said he expects “pretty high levels” into autumn as the temperatures continue to rise and rains keep falling.

Dr. Chris Evans, an entomologist with the state Department of Health and Environmental Control, said South Carolina’s mosquito season is “generally unpredictable” but typically runs from March to November. “Mosquitoes are most active when temperatures are above 60 degrees,” Evans wrote in an email to the Greenville Journal. “Two to three freezes are generally required to force mosquitoes into winter hibernation.”

Mosquito season, however, is growing longer for many cities across the country.

Rising temperatures and humidity since the 1980s have driven an increase in the number of days each year with ideal conditions for mosquitoes, according to a recent analysis from Climate Central, a nonprofit news organization that reports on climate change.

As temperatures slowly increase across the country, the number of days above 50 degrees grows, according to the analysis. And as things get warmer, more moisture is evaporated into the air, which increases the humidity.

“Mosquitoes love hot and humid days,” Gray said.

Dozens of cities throughout the country have seen their

08.10.2018 | GREENVILLE JOURNAL | 7

COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM

mosquito seasons grow by at least 20 days over the past 35 years. The largest increase has been in Baltimore, Maryland, and Durham, N.C. In Greenville, the mosquito season has increased from 113 days to 137 days since 1989, an increase of 24 days. Spartanburg’s season, on the other hand, has increased from 105 days to 125 days since 1989, an increase of 20 days.

As warming continues, the areas favorable for mosquitoes will continue to shift and grow, likely increasing the risk of disease, according to Dr. Michael Reiskind, an assistant professor of entomology at North Carolina State University.

“Higher temperatures can cause some mosquitoes to feed more frequently, which increases their chances of acquiring a virus,” Reiskind explained. “A virus has to reproduce in a mosquito for a certain period before it can be transmitted through a subsequent bite. But warmer temperatures allow mosquitoes to develop faster and the viruses they carry to replicate faster, meaning an infected mosquito is able to transmit whatever they have to more animals and humans before their life cycle ends.”

Mosquitoes aren’t hatched carrying malaria or any other disease but can become carriers if they bite an infected human or animal, according to Reiskind. The bloodsucking insects transmit the disease to the next victim they bite.

In many tropical and subtropical countries, mosquitoes carry and transmit diseases like malaria, yellow fever, dengue, and chikungunya, which together result in more than 1 million deaths each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

Mosquito-borne illnesses are most prevalent in central Africa, India, and South and Central America along with much of Asia. But a number of illnesses, including the Zika virus and West Nile virus, are on the rise across the U.S. thanks to increased migration — including by refugees created directly by climate change — trade, and international travel.

Nationally, illnesses from insects like mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas tripled from 2004 to 2016, according to a new report by the CDC. In that time, nine new germs spread by mosquitoes and ticks were found or introduced into the U.S. “Zika, West Nile, Lyme, and chikungunya — a growing list of diseases caused by the bite of an infected mosquito, tick, or flea — have confronted the U.S. in recent years, making a lot of people sick,” CDC Director Dr. Robert R. Redfield said in the report. “And we don’t know what will threaten Americans next.”

8 | GREENVILLE JOURNAL | 08.10.2018 GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM Currently, the Zika virus is widespread throughout Central and South America as well as the Caribbean, according to the CDC. But there have been no local transmissions of the virus, and all South Carolina cases have been travel-related.

The Zika virus is spread to people by the Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes, both of which are found in South Carolina, according to DHEC. About 80 percent of people who contract the virus don’t experience any symptoms, which can range from mild flu-like symptoms to serious neurologic conditions in adults.

In pregnant mothers, however, Zika can cause microcephaly, a condition where a newborn baby has an abnormally small head and developmental problems.

“When traveling to any country with active Zika transmission, travelers should proactively take steps to prevent mosquito bites, such as using insect repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants, and staying in places with air conditioning or that use window and door screens,” Dr. Linda Bell, an epidemiologist with DHEC, said in a statement.

While local transmission of Zika hasn’t been observed in South Carolina, the risk of being exposed to the West Nile virus

continues to pose a real threat. Peak transmission of the virus occurs between Aug. 15 and Sept. 15 annually.

Earlier this month, DHEC officials announced that an individual from the Pee Dee region had contracted South Carolina’s first case of West Nile virus in 2018. A bird infected with the virus was previously found at a home near Broadway Lake in Anderson County.

West Nile virus can cause inflammation of the brain and spinal cord, according to DHEC, but the risk of serious illness or death from the virus is low.

“Most people infected with West Nile virus have no symptoms,” Bell said. “The risk of serious illness is low as less than one percent of people infected develop a potentially fatal inflammation of the brain, known as encephalitis.”

Bell added that about one in five people infected becomes ill within two to 14 days with symptoms that may include fever, headache, joint pain, muscle pain, and occasionally nausea and vomiting. Symptoms of the more severe form of illness include headache, high fever, neck stiffness, disorientation, coma, seizures, or paralysis.

“If you develop fever or other symptoms after being bitten by a mosquito, you should contact your health care provider,” Bell said.

When a new sculpture commissioned by Artisphere is installed in the Village of West Greenville next spring, it will be unlike any of the three other sculptures commissioned by one of the country’s top-ranked fine arts festivals.

Arizona artist Blessing Hancock’s “Spindle,” a stainless steel piece that will be internally illuminated and draws inspiration from the area’s textile heritage, will be the first Artisphere-commissioned sculpture outside of the festival’s downtown footprint. It will be installed in the Village’s plaza near the Community Journals office.

Artisphere aims to commission an original piece of public art every five years, said Executive Director Kerry Murphy.

A 10-sided, 18-foot-tall sculpture in the form of a faceted cotton spindle, the piece features words cut from the stainless steel sheets. Hancock attended the 2018 Artisphere to get suggestions for the words. When the sculpture is installed and illuminated, the words will project shadow patterns onto the surrounding area.

Ed Zeigler, the incoming Artisphere board president and a former city of Greenville Arts in Public Places Commission member, said Hancock has long been on his radar.

WHO IS BLESSING HANCOCK? Tucson, Ariz.-based Blessing Hancock believes in light’s ability to enliven a space.

She specializes in creating large-scale, interactive, illuminated, site-specific sculptures that are “born of place” and speak of the surrounding people and culture.

Her installations can be found around the world, including in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada; Alberta, Canada; Chengdu, China; and in 13 states.

“For years, people have been talking about doing something under the Main Street bridge, so I started Googling ‘under-bridge sculptures’ and found these incredible chandeliers of large globes she made of bicycle parts that were inner lit and threw shadows on the underside of the bridge,” he said. “For years,

I’ve been saying I’m going to get Blessing Hancock to Greenville someday.”

But Hancock wasn’t a shoo-in for the piece. Three artists submitted proposals to Artisphere.

Murphy said Hancock’s Skyrim studio was the unanimous choice of the selection committee.

“My feeling was that this was a sculptural form that both referenced the past and the connection with the neighborhood and place, and related the idea that Greenville is very much a contemporary city and we’re moving ahead with the times,” said Joe Thompson, a member of the selection committee and the chairman of the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities. “It has meaning on different levels.”

Murphy said Artisphere has raised $87,500 out of the $125,000 it needs for the piece.

The city will do the landscaping, she said.

A new statue and new businesses aren’t the only things coming to the Village of West Greenville — more public improvements and development regulations are likely on the way, as well.

The Village has received unprecedented development interest with more than a

dozen businesses either opening or announcing plans since spring. The city of Greenville is trying to keep up with the transformation with new public improvements and additional zoning regulations.

Last week, the city made a one-way out of Branwood Avenue, which is one block off Pendleton Street, the Village’s main commercial road. The city plans to extend the Village’s plaza, which was made pos-

sible by closing a portion of Perry Avenue in front of the Community Journals office, The Anchorage restaurant, and Artisan Traders. The city plans to extend the plaza to make a home for a statue Artisphere has commissioned for its 15th anniversary.

The closure is part of a plan to make the Village more walkable and increase the number of parking spaces, said Tracy Ramseur, senior economic >>

The extra lane would allow for sidewalks.

The city wants to work with developers of Poe West, a mixed-use project on the site that most recently housed Diversified Systems Inc., to install streetscape improvements and lighting in the front of the property. The city is considering having reverse-angle parking in front of Poe West because it is supposed to be safer, Ramseur said.

In addition, the city is considering an “overlay” zoning district for the Village’s main commercial district, Ramseur said. The new regulations could limit the height of buildings, city planning director Jay Graham has said. Currently, buildings can be four stories tall.

In addition, the city is considering lessening parking requirements for businesses in the Village. Currently, businesses are required to provide one parking spot for every 100 square feet of commercial space. A shopping center requires one for every 650 square feet, which city officials said might be more reasonable.

The overlay district could also possibly allow uses that are not currently allowed in the RDV (redevelopment) zoning classification, Ramseur said. One idea the city is considering is requiring the front third of a building be devoted to active uses so pedestrians don’t have to walk past buildings with drawn blinds, she said.

“We don’t think people in the Village want a huge restaurant or huge grocery store on Pendleton,” she said. “We think they want uses that are more like urban downtown buildings.”

The effort to bury utility lines in the city of Greenville continues to be slow-going, years after 2005’s crippling ice storm left thousands in the dark and cold for a week or more.

Under an agreement with Duke Energy and the city, the cost of line burial is shared.

The city’s share comes from an increased franchise fee paid by Duke. That expense was passed on to customers, who have paid an average of $1 per month more on their electric bills since July 2008. The city sets aside about $1 million per year for burying utility lines.

Duke matches it with about $500,000.

Eighty percent of the money goes to commercial projects. Twenty percent goes to a residential program that provides $1,500 to homeowners to bury the service line from the power pole to their house.

Greenville Mayor Knox White wants the city to bury utilities in and along the borders of Unity Park, the city’s new $40 million signature park in western downtown.

But the price tag for doing Welborn and Nassau streets, Hudson Street from West Washington Street to the Reedy River, and

Mayberry Street is estimated at $9.15 million, nearly twice as much money as will be available in the fund on June 30, 2020, said Kai Nelson, director of the city’s Office of Management and Budget.

The City Council has said it will issue revenue bonds to pay for components eligible for tourism-related funding, provided the annual debt is no greater than $2 million per year for 20 years. Nelson did tell members of the City Council Committee on Planning and Development that $2 million a year would cover a bond issue of $27 million, about $7 million more than Council originally thought.

The city is currently burying lines on part of West Washington Street. Other projects that are being considered, but have had no money appropriated, are a relocation and pole consolidation on Laurens Road, another stretch of West Washington, and Williams Street. City officials said another project on Augusta Road is in jeopardy, as contractors are reluctant to bid because of the state Department of Transportation’s stringent encroachment requirements of working at night and extensive traffic-control measures.

MILL VILLAGE FARMS IS WORKING TO SOLVE THE FOOD DESERT PROBLEM SARA PEARCE | STAFF

spearce@communityjournals.com

A

local farm is working to bring fresh produce to the West Village and surrounding neighborhoods that otherwise don’t have ample access to fruits and vegetables. Mill Village Farms, under the umbrella of Mill Community Ministries, has started two programs to help.

The farm has launched a downtown produce cart — the Veggie Cart — and is working in its second season of FoodShare Greenville. The cart is strategically located at Richardson and McBee streets next to the Greenlink Bus Transfer Station, giving low-income bus-riders easy access. This placement stems from the fact that many low-income neighborhoods around downtown are in what the United States Department of Agriculture calls a “food desert.”

A food desert is defined by the USDA as “parts of the country vapid of fresh fruit, vegetables, and other healthful whole foods, usually found in impoverished areas … due to a lack of grocery stores, farmers markets, and healthy food providers.”

The effects of food deserts are most immediately felt by low-income individuals and families, who sometimes face a long

bus ride to find healthy food options. Dan Weidenbenner, executive director of Mill Community Ministries, explained, “Folks over here [West Greenville] will shop for groceries at Spinx and maybe Family Dollar.” Weidenbenner’s mission through the Veggie Cart was to work with Greenlink to find a place where people are already coming and give them affordable access to healthy foods there.

The other program that Mill Village Farms introduced almost two years ago is FoodShare Greenville, a box program that works with nonprofits and medical clinics. The boxes have a large variety of fruits and vegetables and are available at about 12 nonprofit organizations and clinics in the area. Each box is valued at $20-25 and can be purchased for $15 in cash or $5 in EBT/SNAP, which allows many low-income individuals to afford a box each two-week cycle. Weidenbenner heard about a similar program in Columbia, and he and FoodShare coordinator Courtney Watson have worked together to bring it where it is today.

“The challenge for many of our families when doctors would tell them what they needed to be eating, it’s just not possible, it’s not a reality. This helps it to become a

reality and part of a routine,” Weidenbenner said. The boxes are available every two weeks, and clients know to come pick up their boxes at their doctor’s office, church, or other organization.

“I like vegetables. The box yesterday had okra in it and I almost had a fit. It’s one of my favorites,” Kelly said. “The boxes have been a tremendous help to me. The one I picked up this week had a whole pineapple

“ The boxes have been a tremendous help to me.

The one I picked up this week had a whole pineapple in it, which I could never usually afford.”

– Dorothy Kelly

Dorothy Kelly, a user of FoodShare Greenville since its inception, explained what an asset the boxes were to her after she became guardian to her three greatgrandchildren. “The youngest was under two, and I had just retired. I had different plans,” she laughed. “I can just eat one meal a day and be on my way, but with three kids, I need to fix three meals a day.

The only time I don’t have to do that is when they are at school, and that just takes one meal away.”

Kelly has always been an advocate of eating fruits and vegetables but knows they can be expensive and difficult to come by.

in it, which I could never usually afford.”

Kelly not only takes a box for her and her great-grandchildren, but also delivers a box to a home-bound friend who rarely gets access to healthy produce outside of the FoodShare boxes.

The FoodShare program gives patients of the clinics and other individuals a tangible solution for an ongoing problem. “It has been so nice to have something that I can offer them that is real and they can take home from here and use with their families,” Amati said.

Home Tips When was the last time you changed your AC filter? For your HVAC system to work properly it needs to be able to pull in air that it then cools, or conditions. An air filter that has extra layers of dirt and dust means your system isn’t able to pull in as much air.

Your system works harder to suck the air through the dirty filter which can cause a break down.

Something as simple as changing your filter every 30-90 days can help reduce a majority of the issues for a system.

January 3, 1953 – August 2, 2018

Alan Randolph Cochran, beloved husband, brother, uncle, and friend, departed this life on August, 2, 2018. Mourning his passing are innumerable family members and friends.

Married to Kathy Holcombe Cochran for 43 years, Alan was born to the late Samuel Mack Davis Cochran and Rubye Edny Walker Cochran on January 3, 1953. Growing up in Taylors, SC, he attended Taylors Elementary School, Northwood Middle School, and Wade Hampton High School. He was active at Taylors First Baptist Church during his early years.

After graduating summa cum laude from Furman University in 1975, Alan was admitted to the Order of Wig and Robe at the University of South Carolina Law School and was admitted to the South Carolina Bar Association in November of 1978. He practiced law at Williams and Henry, P.A., until he opened his own practice, Cochran Law Firm, P.A., in 1994.

He was President and a founding member of the organization now known as Injured Workers’ Advocates, a coalition of South Carolina attorneys who work for the rights and equitable treatment of South Carolina’s injured workers. His reputation as a concerned, fair, and hard-working advocate for the legal rights of all citizens is held high by those with whom he worked, by those whom he represented, and by those with whom he sparred in court.

Alan was never happier than when he was with his family and friends – boating on Lake Keowee, holding court at meals, driving golf cart tours around the neighborhood and walking on the beach at Isle of Palms, sharpshooting on the rifle range. He created wonderful memories for many people.

Survivors include his brothers, Mack Cochran (Becky) of Rising Fawn, Tennessee, Rev. Neil Cochran (Candy) and Shields Cochran (Carolyn) of Greenville,

South Carolina; mother-in-law Louise Holcombe of Greenville, SC; brothers-in-law Danny Holcombe (Susan) of Spartanburg, SC, Terry Holcombe (Susan) of Walhalla, SC, and Jeff Holcombe of Lexington SC; and sister-in-law Donna Hovanec (Tom) of Bradenton, FL. Nieces and nephews include Rion and Molly (Zack Dungan) Holcombe of Spartanburg; Connie Boroff (Stan) and children, Chloe and Davis, of Fountain Inn, SC; Jay Cochran and daughters, Emma and Kate, of Billings, MT; Kim Cochran and her daughter Kate, of Mt. Pleasant, SC; Kelly Duffie (John) and sons, John Blake and Taylor, of Carey, NC; Bryan Cochran (Tim Molenda) of Missosula, MT; Jeff Cochran (Tracy) and son Noah, of Chattanooga, TN; Tammy Martin (Russell) and children, Jackson and Claire, of Ringgold, GA; Jessica Mayes (Robert) and children, Veronica and Joey, of Crompond, NY; Andy Hovanec (Tiffany) and sons, Jase and Cole, of Parrish, FL; and Cari Hovanec (Andy Leathers) of Tampa, FL. Special and heartfelt thanks go to Alan’s caregivers, Neil Cochran, Harriett Pearce, Connie Boroff, and Tony Tart.

Funeral services were held Sunday, August 5, 2018, at 2:00 p.m. in the sanctuary of Greenville First Baptist Church, followed by visitation, also in the sanctuary. There will be a private burial.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Alan’s memory to Carolina Miracle League Scholarship Fund, 828B East Main Street, Spartanburg, SC 29302, or ClemsonLife Scholarship Fund, 102 Tillman Hall, Clemson University, Clemson, SC 29634.

Plans for traffic-calming measures on McDaniel Avenue face uncertain future CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

The Alta Vista Neighborhood Association bought a radar gun and measured speeds of McDaniel Avenue motorists over three days. The average speed was 41.5 mph, well over the 30-mph posted speed limit. Will Crooks/Greenville Journal

Bids for traffic-calming measures designed to slow motorists on McDaniel Avenue have come in over budget, and the city is trying to figure out what to do.

The city had budgeted $100,000 for the project that included landscaped bump-outs and some restriping between Augusta Street and Crescent Avenue as well as some landscaped islands and restriping around Woodland Way and University Ridge. But bids came in at $160,000, said Greenville Public Works Director Mike Murphy.

The Alta Vista Neighborhood Association, which has been asking for traffic-calming measures on the street for the past three years, bought a radar gun and measured speeds over three days.

Alta Vista Neighborhood Association President Curt Hall said the average speed was 41.5 mph, well over the 30 mph posted limit. They clocked some drivers going 60 mph.

Part of the problem is that the road is wide and straight. According to the National Asso-

ciation of City Transportation Officials' Urban Street Design Guide, drivers travel about 9 mph faster for every additional 3 feet of road width.

Now, the city is re-evaluating the scope of work to see what can still be accomplished to

$160,000 slow traffic, said Allen Reid, traffic operations engineer for the city and project manager for the McDaniel project.

Reid said the city hasn’t decided on a new plan, but it will likely result in the project being rebid.

Speed humps can’t be installed because McDaniel is a state road, Murphy said.

Cheap Fitness Q&A

By Leigh Savage

Q: I want to get fit this summer, but I don’t want to blow my vacation budget on it. What can I do?

–Janet, Mauldin

There are plenty of ways to get fit on the cheap, but Mike Worley, an exercise physiologist with Bon Secours St. Francis Health System, says your first step should be visiting your doctor. “See a primary-care physician to address any contraindications to activity,” he said. He also suggests seeing a trainer if you’re getting started on an activity for the first time.

After that, free and cheap options abound. Worley, who recommends four to five days of exercise per week for about 30 minutes, says walking or jogging are great options. “Go hiking, go to the Swamp Rabbit Trail, or a lot of neighborhoods in the area almost have a resort feel,” he said.

To boost strength as well as cardiovascular fitness, he recommends body-weight exercises such as push-ups, crunches, and squats.

For a very low-cost option, he suggests apps or websites like 7 Minute Workout or Fitness Blender. Some

workouts are free, with more-extensive options costing just a few dollars per year, he said. People can then add basic tools like tubing, dumbbells, or medicine balls to use along with the apps.

Team Greenville has been growing.

The team has 225 swimmers going into the 2018-19 season that begins Sept. 4, Kozicki said.

It is also becoming more successful, Beckish said.

Team Greenville, a competitive swim team that just won its first state championship in 14 years, is preparing to become a privately run sports program.

For more than 25 years, Team Greenville has been managed by Greenville County, but starting with the 2019-20 swim season, the team will be run independently, according to team and county officials.

Team Greenville coach Karl Kozicki said that when the Greenville County Recreation District dissolved itself and became a Greenville County department five years ago, the county began moving in the direction of providing facilities for youth sports but not running them.

Team Greenville was the last youth sport managed by the county, he said.

ARTS & CULTURE

Artisphere 2019 calls for entries The 15th annual Artisphere presented by TD Bank received an unprecedented 1,163 artist applications for the 2018 event, which is a 3 percent increase over 2017 applications. Artisphere is consistently one of the top-rated art shows in the country. Show organizers attribute the rise in applications to the festival’s track record for garnering meaningful sales for participating artists; 2018 exhibiting artists reported average sales of $8,100. This year’s jury review will be held Nov. 3-4. Artisphere 2019 will be on May 10-12 in downtown Greenville. There will be 135 artists chosen from the applicant pool, and cash awards totaling $15,000. Some of the many benefits offered to participating artists are free parking with 24-hour security, an artist awards breakfast, complimentary meals, and reduced hotel rates. In its short history, Artisphere has distinguished itself as a national and regional highlight in the arts. In addition to a Purchase Awards Program that provides an average of $12,000-$15,000 in art sales, Artisphere distributes $15,000 in prize money to nine award winners each year. Artisphere’s multimedia advertising campaign markets the festival throughout the Southeast in print, radio, and television ads.

Artisphere has been ranked No. 17 on the list of 100 Best Art Shows in the country by Sunshine Artist Magazine; a Top 10 Fine Arts and Fine Craft Festival by the Art Fair Sourcebook; and No. 3 of 20 finalists for USA Today’s Reader’s Choice Award for Best Art Festival.

Applicants are being accepted until Oct. 4 through zapplication.org.

Mauldin receives Senior Center Permanent Improvement Project grant Mauldin has announced that it has been awarded $325,000 provided by the Lieutenant Governor’s Office on Aging’s Senior Center Permanent Improvement Project grant program. The award is in addition to a required local match, as stipulated by the guidelines of the program. The PIP funds will be used to renovate an existing building to current Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. The senior center’s enhancements will include the installation of an elevator, hallway widening, and kitchen and bathroom im-

COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM provements to accommodate a steadily growing number of seniors who utilize the center.

The Senior Center Permanent Improvement Project grant program was established by the General Assembly in 1991. Administered by the Lieutenant Governor’s Office on Aging, the PIP grant program has since funded necessary construction and renovations projects at senior sites throughout the state. While Mauldin is the recipient of the PIP funds, the Appalachian Council of Governments and Area Agency on Aging is the grantee. All funds are disbursed to the grantee through a reimbursement system when certified invoices are submitted to the Lieutenant Governor’s Office on Aging and approved. “An active senior lifestyle encourages independence and enhances overall quality of life,” says Lt. Gov. Bryant, according to the release, “These renovations and improvements will allow the center to expand its reach in the Mauldin community, and I am very appreciative of the state and local leaders who have worked so hard to make it happen.”

Habitat receives $60,000 grant Habitat for Humanity of Greenville County has been awarded a Corporation for National and Community Services grant of $60,000 to support five Habitat AmeriCorps member positions for the 2018-‘19 service year. AmeriCorps members will apply for and serve full time at Habitat organizations across the country helping families build stable homes. Award funds go toward corps member allowances and program administrative costs. During the service year, Habitat AmeriCorps members are expected to contribute more than 600,000 hours of service toward building or improving Habitat homes in 130 communities nationwide. In Greenville County, AmeriCorps members will work in new construction, ReStore, neighborhood revitalization, and family services. The Habitat AmeriCorps program is in its 23rd year. Habitat for Humanity covers about half the cost of each service member, delivering results at a much lower cost than direct government services.

In 2017, Habitat AmeriCorps members served more than 5,800 individuals in 32 states; provided nearly 900,000 hours of service; and mobilized, trained, and managed more than 226,000 volunteers in community building efforts..

Rain Down Outdoor showers are sprite addition to busy backyards

by Leigh Savage

Outdoor showers make perfect sense by the lake or pool, but today’s homeowners are adding them to backyards for a post-gardening rinse, a post-activity cool down, a pet wash or simply to create a luxurious, spa-like experience in their own backyards.

Aimee Williams Garrett of Gateway Supply Co. has seen a major uptick in the number of homeowners looking to design outdoor showers and says a wellplanned one can make a backyard stand out, whether it’s a simple do-it-yourself project or a designed outdoor oasis. Exposed showers often will feature a large rain head and Garrett says there are many styles to choose from top brands such as Outdoor Shower Co. and Jaclo.

Outdoor shower kits are available online at a variety of price points, but Garrett suggests visiting a showroom to make sure the fixtures will work for your configuration.

Homeowners must also consider location and available plumbing and whether they want an outdoor shower exposed in an open space or within an enclosure.

A plumber is another helpful resource, Garrett says, as adding to the garden hose line “will only have cold water, which will not give you the relaxing, soothing shower you are looking for.” To cut cost on a heated shower, keeping it as close to the home as possible can often allow tapping into existing water lines.

Look for ways to blend an outdoor shower into the environment and Garrett says shower-friendly landscaping and permeable pavers, which are designed to manage water runoff, can help give the shower that hideaway appeal.

Sandra Cannon of Sandra Cannon Interior Design has also noticed increasing interest in alfresco showers and says her priority is creating a space that blends in with its environment.

“The sustainability of natural elements is the undercurrent of the outdoor shower,” she says. “I like to use elements and materials from the natural habitat and infuse the shower with those to create more of a seamless transition.”

She suggests materials like teak, slate, travertine, concrete, and limestone, as well as heavy-duty fixtures of chrome or rubbed bronze. Cannon customizes projects to fit with its surroundings and intended usage and says that while lakeside showers and dressing rooms are common, she is hearing from homeowners who simply want the option of showering outdoors.

“We’re lucky to have good weather more often than in many other areas, so it’s definitely something people are talking about,” Cannon says. “If they have the views, the space and the privacy, it can be a nice experience to create an outdoor shower right off the master suite.”

PROJECT KNOW-HOW • Outdoor shower fixtures must be winterized at the end of the season to prevent freezing.

• Consult with a plumber or builder to ensure you have proper drainage in your chosen location.

• Consider materials underfoot carefully. Instead of tile that might crack with cold weather, choose permeable pavers or artificial turf.

• Think about how you want to use the shower: hosing off sand and dirt? Cleaning fishing gear? Bathing pets? Add the features that suit your plans such as a foot shower, hand shower, hooks, a slatted mat or outdoor speakers.

• Make sure the space is well ventilated to reduce mold and mildew.

Richard Cox named brokerin-charge of C. Dan Joyner, Realtors’ Augusta Road office, Main Street Gallery Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices C. Dan Joyner, Realtors recently announced that Richard Cox has been named brokerin-charge of the comCox pany’s Augusta Road office, as well as the company’s recently opened gallery on Main Street in Greenville. Most recently, Cox served as a sales associate at the Augusta Road location.

Cox brings a lifelong connection to the real estate industry that started in the halls of a family real estate business. He grew up spending nearly all of his free time and summers working in areas from maintenance to marketing at Surfside Realty, which was founded by his grandfather in 1957.

He attended Wofford College and upon graduation in 2006, he moved to Charleston working briefly for the Ginn Company, a Florida-based developer,

before embarking on a professional golf career from 2007-2010.

Cox returned to the Upstate in 2010 after enrolling in Clemson University’s Master of real estate development program. After completion, he spent time working in commercial real estate development, land development, commercial buyer representation, real estate advisory sales, and investment services, as well as residential home and land sales.

“After years of working for clients and customers all across the real estate spectrum, I look forward to using my industry knowledge and love for Greenville to work to better the community and the lives of those that live in it,” Cox said.

“Richard is a tremendous addition to our leadership team,” said Danny Joyner, president and CEO. “We are eager to see his leadership flourish in his new role within the company.”

Roger N. Wells joins Joan Herlong & Associates Sotheby’s International Realty Joan Herlong & Associates Sotheby’s International Realty recently an-

All Adoptions

nounced the addition of Realtor Roger N. Wells to the company.

Owner and CEO Joan Herlong said, “Roger’s years of experience selling real estate all over the country, and the world, is a wonderful asset for our clients here in the Upstate of South Carolina. Greenville is becoming so much more diverse with people moving here from all over, and Roger is well suited to serve our most discerning world-traveler clientele.”

Wells has sold real estate since he was 18, and in South Carolina since he was 20. He’s currently licensed in both North and South Carolina, has been previously licensed in Virginia and will soon be licensed in Georgia and Texas. He at one point was also an appraiser with Master Appraisal Institute designation, and even has been a custom homebuilder in Tennessee and Virginia. He’s currently a Flex-Patriate between Upstate South Carolina and Budapest, Hungary, where he’s founded a tech startup and is also licensed to sell real estate there.

Says Wells, “I have traveled the world and seen 25 countries in the past two years alone! From my travels, I am well acquainted with the Sotheby’s International Realty brand and believe it is the best brand to reach and serve luxury clientele on a global level. After meeting Joan Herlong, her ideas and business approach mesh well with mine, and I am thrilled to be joining this company.”

AFTER FOUR DECADES, ‘NEWGRASS’ PIONEER SAM BUSH REMAINS AS BUSY AS EVER

Sam Bush will be at the Spinning Jenny Friday, Aug. 10. Photo provided VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER

vharris@communityjournals.com

Sam Bush is a master of the mandolin, and he’s pretty brilliant on fiddle and guitar, too. He helped create an entire subgenre when he began his career in the early 1970s, combining his love of classic bluegrass with a yen for more-experimental, jazz-style improvisation to give birth to “newgrass.” It’s a category that Bush and players like banjoist Bela Fleck, Dobro player Jerry Douglas, mandolin player Chris Thile, and bands like The Infamous Stringdusters have broken boundaries with for the past five decades.

But Bush can work just as easily within the mainstream, as well. In addition to his genre-bending solo albums (the most recent of which is 2016’s "Storyman"), Bush has played straight-ahead country with Al-

The night after my band played, I got to sit in with the Old and in the Way reunion with Peter Rowan and David Grisman, playing [the late bluegrass violinist] Vassar Clements’ parts, then the night after that I participated in Hot Rize’s 40th anniversary show.

And I also played with the Steep Canyon Rangers.”

Basically your typical lazy summer, right?

The documentary has been an especially interesting project for Bush because it allowed him the rare opportunity to take a look back at his long, extremely busy career.

“It’s sometimes startling to look up and realize I’ve been doing this since 1970,” he says. “It’s pretty humbling and overwhelming. The great part is that I still get to do it. I’m still busy creating music.”

Bush says his many collaborations, both in the studio and on stage, allow him to return to his own projects with greater skills when it comes to leading his own ensemble.

“I think in order to be a good bandleader, you have to be a good support musician for other people,” he says. “I think that it’s a great situation to be able to step into a group. There’s nothing more fun to just sit in like I did with Steep Canyon Rangers or Hot Rize and blend in. They have great sounds, so it’s your responsibility to not detract from them. It helps me to play with others and find that rhythm.”

FUTURE CHORD: FROM A BLOG TO A CONCERT, BOOKING, AND MANAGEMENT COMPANY VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER

vharris@communityjournals.com

When he was a student at Clemson University a few years back, Jeremy Theall searched for a way to get out the word about the Southeast’s music scene and the bands he loved. He initially channeled his passion for that music into a blog called Future Chord, in which he talked about the history and shows and various events in the lives of bands all over South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia.

But after he got out of school, Theall felt the need to expand on that blog idea, and not just for altruistic reasons.

“I was writing about bands from the Southeast because local music was really important to me,” Theall says, “but after I graduated I realized I wanted to do something more worthwhile, because I couldn’t really make a living writing about music.”

So over the past five years, Theall has turned Future Chord from a blog into a concert booking, promotion, and management company, with clients ranging from the electronic dance-music duo Carpoolparty to the psychedelic folk band Brother Oliver and the indie-rock quartet Daddy’s Beemer. At any given point in the past few years, Future Chord has offered management or promotional services to nearly two dozen bands around the region, on either a temporary or long-term basis.

One of the most noteworthy events Theall has created is Future Chord Fest, an annual multiband showcase that features both his own clients and bands from the area whose music Theall enjoys. The third annual edition of Future Chord Fest will kick off Friday night at Radio Room in Greenville, and it will feature Daddy’s Beemer alongside Pure Ghost, a Greenville band that specializes in massive, My Bloody Valentine-style guitar epics; the ethereal, atmospheric music of Austin’s Slow & Steady; the anthemic Upstate prog-rockers Tides in Transit; and the spaced-out, propulsive hip-hop of Asheville, N.C.’s Spaceman Jones & The Motherships, among others.

It also marks the festival’s shift from a one-day, jam-packed schedule to a twonight event, and its move from The Spinning Jenny in Greer to the Radio Room.

“A lot of the feedback I got the last two years was that it was too exhausting to have all the bands in one day,” Theall says. “I think people liked the music, but a lot of them would’ve preferred to have more time to come see the music over two nights.”

As for the move to the Radio Room, Theall says he was very happy with the way previous festivals went at The Spinning Jenny, but he was reluctant to have the event seem exclusively tied to one venue, plus the in-house kitchen and staff at the Radio Room made it a perfect fit.

“The Spinning Jenny was great to the fes-

tival for the first two years,” he says, “but I wanted to do it somewhere else this year so that people wouldn’t think it was an exclusive thing. Fortunately, I do a lot of shows at Radio Room already, and it was a little easier to get together because I didn’t have to get food trucks or vendors or worry about finding a door person or a sound person. That helps me focus on some other things that allow me to promote it and get people excited about coming out to the show.”

Ultimately, Theall says he’ll judge the third edition of Future Chord Fest a success not just if the Radio Room has a packed house (the first two years drew 300-plus people apiece), but by how the fans and bands are able to grow from it.

“I hope people leave with a new favorite band,” he says. “And I hope some of the bands will be able to network with one another and be able to play in other towns.”

ROBERT RANDOLPH & THE FAMILY BAND BRING SACRED STEEL TO ZOO TUNES VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER

vharris@communityjournals.com

Drawing on the decades-old tradition of sacred steel music (the blending of pedal steel guitar with ecstatic gospel music), Robert Randolph is an absolute master of his instrument. He can manipulate the liquid mercury sound of a pedal steel to sound like the joyful cry of a human voice or the roar of a fully amped Les Paul. He’s spent much of the past two decades touring and recording with The Family Band (which includes his brother Marcus on drums and sister Lenesha on vocals), laying down his astonishing solos over stretched-out jam-rock, infectiously danceable funk and, on their most recent album, “Got Soul,” old-school R&B, garnering a legion of fans, critical acclaim, and three Grammy Award nominations.

Randolph and The Family Band will perform on Friday at the next edition of PNC Bank Zoo Tunes, a concert series that takes place inside The Greenville Zoo and has featured Bruce Hornsby, Jason Isbell, and, most recently, Shovels & Rope.

We spoke with Randolph about his early shows in Greenville, his musical roots in the church, and his next album.

You might not have played at the zoo before, but do you remember your past shows in Greenville?

Oh yeah, I remember playing the outdoor festival (Fall for Greenville) and The Handlebar. There’s a great vibe in Greenville; it’s a great musical city. The crowds are great, and my buddy Marcus King is from there, too.

Your live shows are so energetic and celebratory; is it difficult to translate that to a recording studio?

If you look at the musicians I love, like the Grateful Dead and artists like Stevie Wonder, the [Rolling] Stones, [Jimi] Hendrix, The Allman Brothers, Stevie Ray Vaughan, look at the way they are live, it’s always different from the recordings. That’s what makes the live experience one thing and recording another. You can try to make the recording with as much energy as you can, but it’s never the same as the live interaction you get with the fans, or the improvisation. Even as a kid growing up in church, the music was based off the energy of each other and connecting with spirit and taking it to another level.

Speaking of church, what was it that moved you about the sacred steel style?

For me, music was always a big part of who I was. It was kind of kept hidden in the American roots-music scene for 80 years, but there was always lap steel playing in our church.

And all of the guys playing were my Albert Kings and Robert Johnsons. That’s what I knew. And then I started getting into all kinds of different music as a teenager, and that kind of led me down a different path of trying to meld the two worlds together and come into my own. It was a great feeling and wonderful experience.

You’ve been nominated for three Grammy awards and you’ve performed at the ceremony; what’s the Grammy-night experience like?

It’s just so much fun. You feel like you’re part of your musical peers, seeing so many different artists and performers. It

just goes to show that we all appreciate each other, and we all appreciate the music that we made. It was really a good feeling, man. It’s kind of hard to explain what it feels like when you’re there; it’s like you’ve been accepted. We all make music and sing songs, but when that acceptance comes from the people there, it really feels like something special.

It’s been about a year since your last album, “Got Soul,” came out. What’s on the horizon as far as the next album goes?

We’re supposed to start recording in early October. We’ve got some producers lined up and we’re finalizing everything now. It’s going to be a really bluesy rock record, really organic.

And we’ve already written like 30 songs. That’s the fun part about being on tour, is that everyone’s there with their musical ideas, you’re on the bus, there are no distractions, you’re up til 2 or 3 in the morning playing guitar and full of ideas. Those late-night drunken ideas are usually the best ones [laughs]!

DON’T MISS

When Josh McGee came on board as the city of Greenville’s special events coordinator four years ago, he thought he had a pretty thick skin. But as he created lineups for for the city’s various musical events like Piedmont Natural Gas Downtown Alive, Greenville Heritage Main Street Fridays, and especially the Fall for Greenville festival, McGee realized he wasn’t quite prepared for the level of feedback he got, seemingly no matter what his schedules looked like.

“Just working for the city kind of puts me out there in the first place,” McGee says.

“People are going to say things about what I do because it’s easy to blame the city for things. I felt like I had a thick skin when I came into the job, but it’s gotten a little thicker over the years, especially with social media, because there’s no filter.”

That being said, the musical lineup McGee curated for this year’s Fall for Greenville food and music festival, which runs from Oct. 11-14 in downtown Greenville, is one he’s proud of, and it might just silence some of McGee’s critics.

“I’m feeling really confident about this one,” he says, and he probably should be.

In addition to a healthy selection of local musicians and bands like Mac Arnold & Plate Full O’ Blues, Angela Easterling, LOZ, Zataban, and the Greenville Jazz Collective Big Band, McGee has landed a strong set of headliners, including the hard-rocking American Aquarium; fastrising alt-country singer Sarah Shook and her band, The Disarmers; progressive

King Tuff Jerry Douglas Angela Easterling American Aquarium Front Country Ashland Craft Gold Light & Snakemusk Sarah Shook and The Disarmers Forlorn Strangers Jesse Isley Junior Astronomers The Artisanals Mac Arnold & Plate Full O’ Blues The High Divers

Check out the the complete list of 73 at fallforgreenvillle.org bluegrass veteran Jerry Douglas; and psychedelic garage-rockers King Tuff.

McGee has also added more regional talent to the 72-act roster, bringing in Junior Astronomers from Charlotte, The Artisanals and The High Divers from Charleston, and Asheville, N.C.’s Redleg Husky, among others.

If some of those national names sound familiar, it’s because many of those bands have come through the area within the last year, and McGee is constantly monitoring the schedules of nearby venues large and small, looking for ideas.

“If you saw the bookmarks on my computer, you’d see I have links to all the lo-

cal and regional venues, from the Radio Room to The Orange Peel to the Georgia Theatre,” he says. “I keep my eye on who’s coming through, and any names I’m not familiar with, I’ll research them and see what might work and what might not work for the festival. I wish I had the time to actually visit the venues more often, but there aren’t enough hours in the day.”

Deciding which bands to put on which of the six Fall for Greenville concert stages at what times is a painstaking process for McGee, and it’s one he takes very seriously.

“I try to treat each stage on each day as its own little concert,” he says, “and I build the bill from there. It’s not just throwing bands on a stage at whatever time slot works. I really want to build up these lineups throughout the day.”

One of the interesting wrinkles that McGee has thrown into this year’s local act lineup is an emphasis on bands and musicians with new music either just out or about to come out.

“There’s so much going on in the local scene in terms of new material,” he says. “LOZ’s got a new album out, Angela Easterling is working on something new, Brother Oliver has a new single out, and it was really exciting to build up the lineup around those bands with new material.

People want to know what’s new, so we have these local bands that are not only great and we want to showcase them, but they have something new coming out, and in the long run I hope it helps increase awareness of the bands and maybe people will buy that new music.”

MEATLESS MEETUP The number of vegan options continues to grow in Greenville

WORDS BY ARIEL TURNER

PHOTO BY WILL CROOKS

Cashew Toast (superfood bread, raw cashew tahini butter, fresh peach, black pepper, mint) from Due South's new breakfast menu.

Farm Fresh Fast owner Jonathan Willis found out the hard way just how passionate the Greenville Vegan Society members are about their chosen lifestyle.

But what could’ve turned into a very public and ongoing feud between local omnivores and vegans — those who avoid eating or using any animal products or byproducts — has actually had the opposite positive effect with Farm Fresh Fast’s hosting a recent vegan society meetup that resulted in more than 80 members showing up at the small, 30-seat restaurant.

It started on March 28 when Farm Fresh Fast posted an event on its Facebook page that advertised an upcoming painting and wine night. The painting happened to be of a pig, and the highlighted dinner ingredient of the night was pork provided by Providence Farm. The idea of painting a cute pig while snacking on pork ruffled some feathers.

A lively discussion with members of the vegan community about humanely raised versus conventionally raised pork and the benefits of using no animal products at all ensued. To his credit, Willis has left the thread intact for all to see on the Facebook page.

Willis, who frequently posts photos on Instagram of the pigs and other animals being raised for the Farm Fresh Fast menu, says the trickle-down effect from that event discussion was something he couldn’t have anticipated.

As a result, Willis met with members of

the vegan society, including founder Tracy Weaver, to listen to their point of view, which gave him the chance to share his. It also helped him realize the vegan community in Greenville, though small, is vocal, has buying power, and will promote businesses that cater to their needs.

On April 23, Farm Fresh Fast launched a “No Kill” menu, completely free of animal products, in addition to its regular pork, chicken, and beef offerings. It quickly became popular with vegans and non-vegans alike.

“I wanted to be as progressive for them as I have been for the local sustainable farms,” he says.

The changing menu features grain bowls, stir-fry, meatless “chicken” wraps, Buddha bowls, a grits and meatless “meatballs” dish, and more, with ingredients sourced mainly from local farms along with vegan proteins that can fool meat-eaters.

Willis says sales from this menu now make up more than 50 percent of total sales in the restaurant, and many of those orders come from people who have not adopted a vegan diet or lifestyle. And that’s a major win for vegans, Weaver says, as educating the general public that vegan food can taste good is a priority.

“You’re not living a deprived life,” she says. “Your whole perspective changes.”

Two years ago when Weaver, a registered nurse, formed the Greenville Vegan Society, she knew only two other people locally

The idea of painting a cute pig while snacking on pork ruffled some feathers.

who were like-minded.

“There’s just three of us in Greenville, so we’ll be friends,” she recalls thinking at the time.

The three of them banded together and created a Facebook group and planned dinners out. The group now has close to 800 members, all of whom aren’t vegan, Weaver says, but are sympathetic to their cause or seeking more information.

The group’s goal was simply to start the conversation about veganism and make their presence known to local restaurants, she says.

“It would be so nice and be able to go out and not have to ask for accommodations,” Weaver says.

Many local restaurants, either in response to the Greenville Vegan Society’s requests or simply following dining trends, have added vegan options to their menus. For years, vegetarian options have been widely available, but finding restaurants with items that omit the use of animal by-products, such as eggs, dairy, and honey, has been tricky.

Other restaurants in town Weaver says have been especially accommodating are Generations Bistro, which is hosting a vegan wine dinner Aug. 22; LTO Burger Bar; Ji-Roz, which has vegan Thursdays; Chicora Alley; Swamp Rabbit Café & Grocery; and Green Lettuce. Most recently, Due South Coffee Roasters has added a full menu of breakfast options, many of which are vegan because co-

owner Patrick McInerney says there simply aren’t enough healthy, local options.

“Every day I hear about another restaurant,” Weaver says.

And when she does, expect to see a post on the Facebook group’s feed, asking the members to support the businesses making an effort.

“We want to show them that we’re going to support them,” she says.

She believes their supporting local businesses making these changes has helped the variety of options to grow significantly now that the demand has been established.

“We don’t have any completely vegan restaurants in Greenville,” she says. “The way we get there is supporting the ones with vegan options.”

Willis says he’s made it clear to Weaver and other members that Farm Fresh Fast will never be completely vegan, but he supports their choices and values their input as he continues to develop new menu items for the No Kill menu.

Weaver says the fact that he also draws meat-eaters in to the restaurant who then will try items off the vegan menu is likely better for the cause than if Farm Fresh Fast were completely vegan.

“I don’t think any have gone to the lengths that Jonathan does,” she says, acknowledging Willis’ continued efforts.

AUG. 9

For years, Greenville’s The Lackies were on the rock band treadmill, playing their melodic, Beatlesque power-pop whenever they could and recording often. But as they tried to find a bigger audience for their catchy, guitar-heavy songs (primarily written by guitarists Matt Morgan and Jef Chandler and singer/bassist David Sims), a certain amount of burnout set in.

“Like anything you do over and over, the repetition makes it boring,” Morgan says. “You can lose sight of what’s important. You fall out of love with it or take it for granted.”

Now, with the band playing far fewer shows (usually just a handful per year), and the pressure of being a full-time band largely behind them, things are a lot more laid back.

“When we played before, we were making a go at getting on the road, releasing and selling new records and playing a lot of shows,” Morgan says. “Now it’s just a hell of a lot of fun. David and I have been in bands together since middle school, and some of these songs go back over 30 years. When we get together and play those songs now, it’s very special.” —Vincent Harris

Gottrocks, 200 Eisenhower Drive | 8 p.m. | $10

CONCERT

AUG. 11

Saxophone player and band founder Calvin Johnson calls the music that his group Chapter:Soul makes “NOLA future funk,” and it’s difficult to think of a better hard-and-fast description. Over New Orleans-style horn-spiked soul, Johnson’s quartet mixes in modern-day R&B vocal hooks, jazzy time changes, and pop-music polish, but they never lose that relentlessly danceable Big Easy sense of groove.

It’s a stylistic range that allows them to work in everything from Kanye to Freddie Hubbard, and it’s delivered so confidently that it’s somewhat surprising to learn that Johnson was initially reluctant to leave his gig with the veteran New Orleans outfit the Dirty Dozen Brass Band to start his own project.

“There was most definitely some hesitation,” Johnson says with a laugh. “As an artist, you’re kind of scared when you have something new to say; you wonder how people are going to accept it. Are they going to take to it? Are they going to just remember you from the past or allow you to move on and do something new?”

But when it came to heading up his own group, Johnson could hardly have had better teachers than the Dirty Dozen. “They took me in and showed me the ropes from the bottom on up,” he says. “Everything from putting a band together to putting together a tour to doing publicity. They are true road warriors.” —Vincent Harris SUN

Jeff Hardy and Peroxwhy?gen, with Something Clever, Seven Year Witch, and Solarist

CONCERT

AUG. 14

The Firmament, 5 Market Point Drive | 8 p.m. | $20-$50

Jeff Hardy typically spends most of his time being a WWE Superstar, traveling from town to town and performing gravity-defying feats in the ring. But his secret passion has always been music, and he’s made three albums of razor-edge, electronics-tinged hard rock with his band Peroxwhy?gen — pronounced peroxygen — since 2010. Not that making time for the band is easy. In fact, the release party for their most recent album, 2017’s “Precession Of The Equinoxes,” took place in Nashville after Hardy appeared on an episode of the WWE’s “Monday

Night Raw.” “With the WWE schedule, it’s almost impossible, but every once in a while I’m able to do a show,” Hardy says. “It’s going to be really cool to get back with the band again.”

In the meantime, Hardy says his current WWE character, a face-painted, enigmatic figure, has helped him become a better frontman.

“I’ve recently started doing some in-ring promos and they give me some crazy stuff to try to memorize and put in my own words,” he says, “and it’s actually helped me to get in front of people and sing because I feel a lot more comfortable than I did five or six years ago. I can speak to the fans in between songs and tell jokes makes that connection.” —Vincent Harris WED
