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.

Battling Bullying

Programs aim to prevent, reduce behavioral issues in schools Words by Ariel Gilreath

When Molly rushed to Wade Hampton High School after receiving a call from administrators, she found her daughter in the front office — bruised, bloody, and crying.

The 11th-grader was jumped on the school’s walkway by another girl, according to her account, which was recorded on a cell phone video that quickly spread around the school.

After the incident, Molly’s daughter left Wade Hampton and finished high school through virtual school. Molly asked that her last name and her daughter’s name not be used in this story because of the widespread attention the video received.

“She lost her whole world,” Molly said.

“She didn’t want to go back — she didn’t have anything to go back to, really.”

Molly said her daughter didn’t press charges after talking with officers, and a student was suspended from school for several days in connection to the incident.

More often than not, bullying doesn’t manifest in a physical, documentable way like with Molly’s daughter, and when it does, it’s the culmination of much subtler harassment built up over time.

“If I had known the stuff going on prior to that fight happening, I probably would have taken her out of school a long time before that,” Molly said.

In 2016-17, South Carolina schools recorded 2,856 incidents of bullying — 475 of which were in Greenville County Schools, according to the district’s records. The numbers differ slightly from what the state Department of Education reports for the district because the Greenville district use a different management system to record the incidents, which could capture incidents not recorded in the state system, according to Ryan Brown, a spokesperson for the department.

As the largest school district in the state, Greenville makes up more than 10 percent of public school students in South Carolina and about 17 percent of the state’s recorded bullying incidents, according to records from the state Department of Education.

Greenville isn’t the only district with disproportionately high bullying numbers — Colleton County School District comprises only 0.8 percent of South Carolina students, but it has more than four times that in recorded bullying incidents.

Kenza Hicks, a behavior interventionist for Greenville County Schools, started a second-chance program in the district last year aimed at preventing and reducing behavioral issues in schools.

The six-week program targets at-risk students and students who have been in

trouble for behavioral problems. The students focus on different issues each week with one week dedicated to bullying.

Hicks has said that in the year the program has been active, she’s already noticed behavioral differences in students.

“There was a student who, when I would come in the first week or two, he would put his head down and was just not interested,” Hicks said. “He actually ended up on the A/B honor roll.”

Grove Elementary School, which also implemented the second-chance program in 2017, had 41 bullying cases in the 2015-16 school year — the most in the district. By the end of 2016-17, the school had reduced its cases to 10.

The federal Department of Education estimates only 40 percent of bullying cases on average ever get reported.

Counselors in Greenville County Schools hope to change that.

Rob Rhodes, director of counseling for the district, said there are several ways a student can report bullying without having to walk up to a teacher or administrator: by calling the district’s bullying hotline (864-452-8559); by emailing the district at quicktip@greenville.k12.sc.us; or by using an anonymous SchoolMessenger app on school-issued Chromebooks or on the district’s website.

“We want students to feel comfortable that, if something is going on that should

“ We want students to feel comfortable that, if something is going on that should not be occurring, we want anyone to tell us that because we want to help. Because that’s what makes our schools safer.”

Kids may come home from school hungry because they did not eat lunch.

• Difficulty sleeping or frequent nightmares.

• Declining grades, loss of interest in schoolwork, or not wanting to go to school.

not be occurring, we want anyone to tell us that because we want to help,” Rhodes said, “because that’s what makes our schools safer.”

But administrators are often put in difficult positions when investigating bullying accounts — not all of them result in one “bully” and one victim, and many of them are hard to prove. With social media, the lines become even more blurred.

The federal “The behavior is expressed in Department of different formats now, and it defiEducation reports nitely makes it more complex when as many as you’re dealing with the speed of Snapchat or Instagram or Facebook, and you’re posting something, and people are responding so quickly because it’s rapid,” Rhodes said. “By the time you’re dealing with something and there’s been response and response and reaction and reaction, there are multiple layers of this.”

Rhodes said the district tries to find solutions that won’t keep stuhave been bullied dents out of the classroom — administrators have to carefully balance the needs of all students involved, which can be difficult when it comes to school safety.

“Students that tend to bully, at the time they’re doing that, they’re usually not connected to positive activities, they’re usually not involved, they’re not feeling a part of something, their needs are not being met in a positive way — they’re not happy,” Rhodes said. “When they have those assets, like a positive role model in their life, involved in activities that are positive, a part of a group that is doing something good that they enjoy — those students aren’t bullying, and most of the time, they’re not being bullied, because they’ve learned through all those avenues appropriate ways of engaging with one another as well as appropriate ways of responding when your rights are infringed upon.”

To Molly, school districts aren’t harsh enough on the offenders.

In the case of her daughter, the family doesn’t refer to the incident as bullying — the word doesn’t hold enough weight with people, Molly said. It brings up images of children fighting in a schoolyard. Instead, the family calls what happened to Molly’s daughter an assault.

“Bullying is not a crime — it’s just a thing kids do,” Molly said. “But an assault is a crime. Harassing somebody is a crime. I’m not saying kids should go to jail, but I think it should be treated like a serious crime.”

NEW YEAR, NEW RESOURCES

Greenville County Schools sees more students, additional security personnel for 2018-19 school year going basis, much in the same way custodial specialists go and look and check about the cleanliness,” Royster said.

Each of the specialists has a background in law enforcement — from local training to experience with the FBI. Aside from security, one elementary school had a major expansion this year — Rudolph Gordon Elementary School will now accept sixth-grade students. In the next two years, the school will also add seventh and eighth grade classes as part of the school’s new mission to serve preschool through eighth-grade students.

The purpose of the added middle school is to provide overcrowding relief for Hillcrest, Bryson, and Riverside middle schools.

The district’s next major facility project will be for an entirely new school — Fountain Inn High School — and is set to begin construction in 2019.

Now that the school year has started, Royster said there are few teacher vacancies still left to fill. Last week, the number was down to 11 positions open.

Districts have had to contend with a statewide teacher shortage for the past couple of years. The Center for Educator Recruitment, Retention, and Advancement released its annual Supply and Demand report in January, which

Greenville County Schools not only has 700 to 800 more students for 2018-19, it also has additional security personnel.

Four new security specialists will keep tabs on all 106 facilities in the district this year, in addition to the school resource officers already at some schools.

The added positions are part of the district’s increased security measures, including the ban on nontransparent bags at athletics events, Superintendent Burke Royster said.

“We wanted to have resources to support our safety and security plan deployed regionally to be closer to those schools, not just physically closer, but where they could give closer support,” Royster said.

The officers will be placed strategically around the county near the facilities they oversee and will report to the district’s director of school preparedness. They will periodically grade each facility on its safety and security.

“One of their primary responsibilities would be to go through a school and look at safety and security on an on-

said 6,705 teachers left their classrooms in 2017 — 4,900 of those left the profession entirely.

“We are seeing a shrinking pool of candidates. Going into the start of school, because of our size, we’re always going to have a vacancy. We’ve got 10,000 employees; almost 6,000 of those are teachers,” Royster said.

The district hired 633 teachers this year and added three teaching positions less than a week before the start of school to account for growth.

“If enrollment doesn’t show up in a school, we may move teacher allocations down; more often, we’re adding to,” Royster said.

Some of the positions for which the district often has shortages are special education teachers, guidance counselors, and media specialists. At the high school level, Royster said traditionally math, science, and foreign language teachers are harder to find, but recently all subject areas have been affected.

“We’re fortunate we’re among the top-paying school districts in South Carolina,” Royster said.

Royster also said the district is always looking to hire bus drivers. Currently, he said all routes have drivers with only two short routes that are doubled up.

Shelley Smith had always wanted to be a teacher — she taught her stuffed animals math lessons in elementary school before realizing math wasn’t her strong suit.

Now, Smith is being recognized for her own skills in teaching in the largest school district in South Carolina. Smith, a social studies teacher at Travelers Rest High School, was named Greenville County Schools’ 2018-19 teacher of the year among nine other finalists Aug. 15.

“I’ve always wanted to teach, and now I’m getting to live that dream,” Smith said.

Each Greenville County school selects its own teacher of the year before a committee chooses 10 finalists in the district. From those 10, the committee chooses three runnersup and the districtwide teacher of the year.

Smith said was her teachers she remembers looking up to most as a child; when she felt insecure about the hundreds of freckles dotted across her face, her teachers were there to allay her insecurities.

Smith started her teaching career six years ago at Travelers Rest High after graduating from Clemson University. She said the student successes are what make it worthwhile.

“The real-life success stories that no one else really cares about — we have to celebrate success, and we don’t do that enough,” Smith said.

Before Smith, Travelers Rest High’s last teacher of the year was more than 17 years ago, prior to Principal Louis Lavely’s tenure.

“Shelley is an amazing teacher, and she does such great things for her students and the rest of the faculty,” Lavely said. “She has been a role model for new teachers and veterans.”

Smith’s father, Jerry Smith, said he knew his daughter would accomplish whatever she set her heart on.

“She has been more determined to do everything she’s done in her life to the best of her ability,” he said. “She never comes up short. She always strives to be the best, and today, she is the best of the best.”

Runners-up for teacher of the year are Rick Schwartz of Greer High School, Matthew Boone of Northwood Middle School, and Reem Alnatour of Fork Shoals Elementary School.

CONTINUUM OF CARE

Clemson unveils new nursing facility with Greenville Health System ARIEL GILREATH | STAFF

agilreath@communityjournals.com

Clemson University cut the ribbon on its new nursing facility in Greenville Tuesday, which will allow the school to more than double the number of freshmen it can accept for its undergraduate nursing program.

In past years, Clemson accepted 64 freshmen annually who primarily attended classes at its Edwards Hall on the main campus. Now, Kathleen Valentine, director of Clemson’s School of Nursing, said the school will accept 174 freshmen, with some students attending classes at Edwards Hall while others attend the Greenville facility, called the Clemson University Nursing Building.

The four-floor facility, which is about 78,000 square feet, was built in partnership with the Greenville Health System and is on the hospital’s main campus on Grove Road as part of its Greenville Health Sciences Center. It will also increase the amount of space the university has for its graduate nursing students.

The location was by design, not only for its easy access to clinical space, but it was also the impetus for the expansion, according to David Sudduth, chief operating officer at GHS. “The Greenville Health System actually started the Health Sciences Center, and our three primary academic partners are the University of South Carolina, Clemson, and Furman,” Sudduth said.

Two corridors of the $31.5 million nursing facility connect with the University of South Carolina’s School of Medicine facility.

Valentine said the connection was intentional.

“We think it’s the only place in the state where Clemson and USC are connected in a physical space, and we call it the ‘Innovation Corridor,’” Valentine said.

Sudduth said they haven’t heard of any other facility in the country physically connecting a nursing school with a school of medicine — especially between two rival schools.

“Symbolically, [it’s] connecting not only the School of Nursing with the School of Medicine, but also serving as a bridge between Clemson and USC,” Sudduth said.

Officials with the school have said the facility has the latest medical-education technology, including several simulation rooms where students will work in small groups on robotic patients that mimic real-life symptoms. A two-way mirror and sound system will allow faculty to oversee and guide the students in the realistic patient room.

Aaron Dix, operations director for the hospital’s emergency simulation center, said the lifelike setting is key to the education experience for both the Clemson and USC students, who will have opportunities to collaborate in shared simulation centers.

“Clinicians don’t operate in their own silo — it’s part of the continuum of care,” Dix said. “What’s special about it is that it’s interprofessional. We have everybody from emergency medical services to respiratory therapy to nurse anesthetist programs to USC’s School of Medicine to Clemson University to practicing physician residents — they’re all here, right now, practicing in the same space.”

Clemson’s expansion will not only help the university accept more applicants, it also allows the hospital to have a larger pool of job candidates amidst a growing nursing shortage in South Carolina.

According to a 2017 report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, South Carolina is one of seven states projected to have a shortage of more than 10,000 nurses in 2030 based on recent supply and demand trends.

Brenda Thames, executive vice president and provost of the Health Sciences Center, said the new nursing facility will give students the opportunity to figure out the nursing concentrations with the highest shortages and allow them to get a better look at what working in a hospital looks like after graduation.

“We need nurses across the system, but there are some areas more critical than others,” Thames said. “And they’ll get to know the nurses they’re going to work with.”

Nature lovers, rejoice. One of the most popular state parks in the Upstate could soon get more hiking trails and campgrounds thanks to a local environmental group.

Naturaland Trust, a Greenville-based nonprofit organization dedicated to the conservation of land and other natural resources throughout the Upstate, announced on Aug. 14 the donation of 680 acres to Jones Gap State Park in northern Greenville County.

“Naturaland Trust has worked for almost half a century to protect South Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains and make them accessible for the public to experience and enjoy,” said Naturaland Trust president Frank Holleman. “Naturaland Trust’s gifts to Jones Gap State Park embody our work to save South Carolina’s mountains for future generations.”

The nonprofit’s donation includes property located along the border of South and North Carolina that borders Jones Gap State Park and another piece that was recently acquired through private donations, according to a news release.

Mac Stone, executive director of Naturaland Trust, said the donated land would ultimately act as a connector be-

tween Jones Gap State Park and Gap Creek, a 955-acre tract of land along the South Carolina-North Carolina border that was donated to the state park system last year by the Greenville office of The Nature Conservancy, a nonprofit conservation group headquartered in Washington, D.C. About half of Naturaland’s 680-acre donation is situated between Jones Gap State Park and Gap Creek, according to the release, meaning the donation will, in effect, create a contiguous tract of land throughout the park totaling more than 1,600 acres.

Stone said both properties feature a large hardwood forest system that is home to various animals and plants. Rare and iconic species found on the properties include Rafinesque’s big-eared bats, black bears, turkeys, salamanders, and white-tailed deer.

The properties also include a series of headwater streams that flow into Saluda Lake, which supplies drinking water to Easley in Pickens County, according to Stone.

“Jones Gap is one of the most striking and ecologically significant parks in South Carolina. We are incredibly proud to add to this iconic landscape,” Stone said. “Ultimately these properties should be a public asset, and that’s precisely what we’re doing by placing them in the

very capable hands of S.C. Parks, Recreation, and Tourism.”

Upstate Forever, a Greenville-based nonprofit that protects land and water resources throughout the 10-county Upstate region, will monitor and enforce a conservation easement on the property to ensure that it remains protected and undeveloped, according to Stone.

Stone said Naturaland Trust will work with the State Park Service to transfer the 680 acres into the park system over the next several months. Once transferred, the properties would include open access for hiking, camping, fishing and other outdoor activities.

GIVING BACK TO NATURE

Since opening nearly three decades ago, Jones Gap State Park has become one of the state’s most popular spots for outdoor recreation, welcoming thousands of visitors every year who want to explore its more than 3,000 acres of woodlands and trails.

The park, however, may have never happened had it not been for Naturaland Trust, according to Phil Gaines, director of the S.C. State Park Service.

In addition to playing a central role in the park’s creation, the nonprofit organization has helped with its expansion by donating thousands of acres over the years.

It all started in 1973 when local attorney and acclaimed conservationist Tommy Wyche launched Naturaland Trust and set out to establish a “bridge” of protected lands between the Table Rock Watershed in Pickens County and North Saluda Watershed in Greenville County.

Naturaland Trust has since worked with government agencies, nonprofits, private foundations, and local landowners to secure conservation easements and acquire undeveloped properties across the mountain escarpment, known as the Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area.

Popular destinations located within the Mountain Bridge Wilderness Area include Caesar’s Head State Park, Table Rock State Park, and Jones Gap State Park. Naturaland Trust acquired the land to form Jones Gap State Park in 1979. It opened nearly a decade later.

Naturaland Trust is responsible for the design and construction of most of the hiking trails at Jones Gap, according to the release. Also, with the current donation, the nonprofit will have purchased and given more than 1,200 acres to the state park over the last 11 years, expanding it by over 20 percent.

Map provided by Naturaland Trust

In 2007, under Wyche’s leadership, Naturaland Trust donated about 300 acres to Jones Gap State Park. It donated an additional 305 acres to the park in 2010. Five years later, Wyche passed away, leaving behind a lasting legacy in the environmental community.

“Without Naturaland Trust and Tommy Wyche, Jones Gap State Park wouldn’t even exist,” said Gaines. “That alone is extraordinary, but they didn’t stop there.

They continued to give us more and more land and have made the park an even better and more accessible place for the public to use and enjoy.”

Brad Wyche, Tommy’s son and founder of Upstate Forever, said his father “loved the South Carolina mountains and devoted much of his life to protecting them.”

“The establishment of Jones Gap State Park was one of his greatest accomplishments, and he was delighted to see the increasing popularity of the park and to enable the park to expand through the Naturaland Trust donations,” Wyche

added. “I know he would be very pleased with this additional gift of even more land.”

In addition to establishing Jones Gap, Naturaland Trust played a central role in creating and protecting Caesar’s Head State Park, the Jocassee Gorges Wilderness Area, the Blue Wall Preserve, the Stumphouse Mountain Heritage Preserve, and the Nine Times Forest, according to the news release.

Naturaland Trust also has acquired and protected lands adjoining Paris Mountain State Park, key portions of the Swamp Rabbit Trail, and lands along Matthews Creek and the South Saluda, Middle Saluda, North Saluda, Chauga, Reedy, and Enoree rivers.

Today, the nonprofit organization continues to own and manage more than 5,800 acres that are open to the public, the release said. It recently donated the 6.8-acre property for Greenville’s Cancer Survivors Park in downtown. The park opened earlier this year.

A SOLDIER’S STORY

Army vet Tom Austin recalls World War II memories

WORDS BY ANDREW MOORE

On a warm, quiet morning in September of 1944, Tom Austin boarded a Higgins landing craft and crossed the English Channel for the shore of Normandy, France, with a loaded rifle and submachine gun hanging off his shoulder, unsure of what to expect.

Three months earlier, the stretch of beach codenamed Omaha had been the site of the D-Day invasion, during which roughly 20,000 soldiers had been killed. Austin’s older brother, Lester, an engineer serving with the Army National Guard, had barely survived the invasion and was still fighting his way east toward Berlin, Germany.

Luckily, though, Austin, a staff sergeant with the U.S. Army’s 12th Armored Division, wasn’t heading into combat. He was instead one of the tens of thousands of personnel supporting the front lines from the rear, sent to Normandy to establish an Allied command post for his division.

During a recent interview with the Greenville Journal, Austin, now 96, agreed to speak about his wartime experiences and reflected back on his remarkable two-year journey across Europe: from the southern coast of France to the outskirts of Austria.

SHIPPING OUT FOR WAR

Like many others who served, Austin’s life was never the same after Japan’s surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.

Shortly after graduating from high school, Austin, who was 19 years old at the time, enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corp. with his friend, Joe Watson.

“We thought they had the better-looking uniform,” Austin said with a laugh.

Unfortunately, though, Austin never got a chance to wear the iconic dress blues as he was medically discharged several weeks later due to severe asthma.

When he returned home to Charlotte, N.C., Austin gave up on joining the armed forces and began looking at colleges. But then he was drafted by the Army several months later and assigned to the 12th Armored Division, also known as the Hellcat Division.

Austin and the rest of his division were sent to Fort Campbell, Ky., in September 1942 for basic training. After learning to shoot a rifle and dig fox holes, they were sent to Camp Barkeley in Abilene, Texas.

While many of the soldiers were assigned to infantry and tank battalions, Austin was promoted to the rank of staff sergeant and assigned to division headquarters, where he was tasked with overseeing the management and distribution of supplies.

His promotion also came with a special assignment, however.

In the summer of 1944, shortly after the invasion of Normandy, Austin was tasked with accompanying the division’s assistant commander, Brig. Gen. Riley Ennis, to France to establish headquarters and prepare for the arrival of infantry and tank battalions.

Austin, along with others assigned to the advanced detachment, eventually departed from Texas and traveled to New York, where they set sail for Europe with thousands of soldiers aboard a massive ocean liner called the SS Île de France.

“I was responsible for all the supplies on the ship,” Austin said. “If you needed to smoke then you came to me for cigarettes.”

After six days of sailing, the SS Île de France entered the English Channel and docked at the Firth of Clyde off the southwest coast of Scotland, according to Austin. While most of the ship’s soldiers were sent off to war, Ennis and his entourage toured the city of Edinburgh, Scotland, and then boarded a train for Southampton, England.

In 1944, after the invasion of Normandy, Austin was tasked with accompanying the 12th Armored Division’s assistant commander, Brig. Gen. Riley Ennis, to France to establish headquarters and prepare for the arrival of infantry and tank battalions. Ennis sent a letter thanking Austin for his service when the troops arrived several months later. Photo provided Once the detachment reached South Hampton, Austin and others boarded a Higgins Boat landing craft and set sail across the English Channel for Omaha Beach.

Austin and the rest of the detachment landed several hours later and then traveled to Auffay, a commune in northern France, where they established headquarters and prepared for the rest of the division, which arrived in November 1944.

SUPPLYING THE TROOPS

Once the division arrived in France, Austin was once again assigned to headquarters and tasked with managing supplies throughout the war.

“My job was to keep a record of who had what weapons,” Austin said. “Most soldiers were given a rifle and submachine gun, while officers usually had pistols.

I had all three and drove a 2.5-ton cargo truck with a trailer attached on the back.

It was a rolling inventory.”

Austin said despite being stationed at division headquarters, he experienced a number of close calls during the war, even surviving sniper fire on his first day in France.

He also experienced the horrors of the Nazi death camps.

When the 12th Armored Division secured the town of Landsburg in Germany, Austin and his comrades participated in the daunting task of liberating several subcamps surrounding Dachau concentration camp, where 32,000 documented deaths occurred.

Greenville resident and U.S. Army veteran Tom Austin (right) spent two years fighting across Europe with the 12th Armored Division, more commonly known as the Hellcat Division.

Photo provided “It was quite an ordeal,” Austin said.

“The prisoners were absolutely pitiful.

They had been starved to death. They were eating sawdust and anything else they could find.”

After liberating the death camps, Austin and the rest of the 12th Armored Division pushed south and crossed into Austria.

The war came to an end shortly after, but the division established headquarters in Heidenheim, Germany, on May 5, 1945, and continued occupation duties until November, when the convoys left for France.

COMING BACK HOME

Once the division’s occupation ended, Austin boarded a ship in Marseilles, France, and set sail for home. He was officially discharged in February of 1946.

With his military days behind him, Austin enrolled at Wake Forest University, where he studied business and met his wife, Mary Ann. The two married several years later and eventually had two sons, Thomas Graham Austin Jr. and Lee Austin.

Austin is now long retired as vice president and general manager of Dealers Supply and Lumber and Co. in Greenville. His wife died about 10 years ago.

Though four years less than a century old, Austin is full of energy, is a good walker, and keeps himself busy by playing golf at least once a week.

He also remains an active member of the 12th Armored Division Association, a group that aims help those who served with the division stay in touch with one another.

The nonprofit, which has more than 400 members across the country, has organized an annual reunion since 1947. Next year’s reunion will be held in Colorado, according to Austin, but he’s campaigning to bring the event to Greenville in 2020.

“I’m not on the planning committee, but I’ve asked them to come down here to take a look around,” Austin said. “I’m really proud of how far we’ve come over the years.”

WEST GREENVILLE REZONING PROPOSAL PUT ON HOLD CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

A proposal by the city of Greenville to rezone the Pendleton Street corridor between South Main and Academy streets has been put on hold.

The Greenville Planning Commission tabled the city’s application to rezone 103 acres after a public hearing during which several residents generally spoke in favor of the changes and a number of business owners were opposed.

City Planning Director Jay Graham said the proposal would generally down-zone property on South Academy from C-2, local commercial district, to either RDV, redevelopment district, or RM-2, single and multifamily residential district. On Pendleton Street, the proposal would generally down-zone property from C-3, regional commercial district, to RDV. Graham said the Pendleton Street corridor between South Main and Academy streets is an important connection, linking three walkable areas: downtown, the

Academy Street between Markley and Pendleton streets also links Heritage Green, downtown, the Kroc Center, AJ Whittenberg Elementary, and the new Unity Park with these neighborhoods, he said.

Expanding the RDV designation is compatible with the changing conditions in West Greenville, West End, and Sterling, Graham said.

“The West Greenville, West End, and Sterling neighborhoods have undergone a transformation with the renovation of existing homes and the construction of new homes,” the application said. “While this revitalization, overall, has been very positive, the three neighborhoods have

Synnex donates $250,000 to Greenville’s Unity Park CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

Unity Park has received its first major donation.

Synnex Corp., along with its Concentrix subsidiary and its fundraising initiative Synnex Share the Magic, announced Monday a $250,000 contribution toward construction of a playground to be named the Synnex Share the Magic Playground.

The playground, to be built at the center of the 60-acre park, is expected to be among the most popular areas of the park.

Groundbreaking for the $40 million park, which will receive half of its funding from the city of Greenville and the other half from private sources such as corporations, individuals, and private foundations, is expected in 2019.

Since its inception in 2011, the annual Synnex Share the Magic fundraising initiative has raised more than $8.5 million for Make-A-Wish South Carolina, Clement’s Kindness, Pendleton Place, and A Child’s Haven to fund programs that give Upstate

Peter Larocque, president of North American Technology Solutions for Synnex, founded Synnex Share the Magic.

“With the opening of Unity Park coinciding with the 10-year anniversary of Synnex Share the Magic in 2021, this playground represents a way to acknowledge the meaningful impact these four organizations have had on our community,” said Bob Stegner, Synnex senior vice president marketing, North America. “This playground is dedicated to the tremendous work of these groups as well as the hundreds of associates of Synnex and Concentrix who generously give their time and resources to help children.”

The Synnex Share the Magic Playground will be designed with the input of childhood development experts and safety consultants. The playground is meant to evoke a child’s view of the archetypical Upstate landscape complete with forests, meadows, mountains, and streams, according to a press release.

Major James Quentin “Jim” Christopher July 25, 1942 ~ August 12, 2018

On Sunday, August 12, 2018, retired SC Law Enforcement Division (SLED) Major James Quentin (Jim) Christopher passed away, surrounded by his loved ones, after a long struggle with Parkinson’s Disease.

His courage was tireless, as was his devotion to his beloved family, his devotion to a large extended family of friends and colleagues, and his devotion to the core values of duty and honor which carried him through his life.

Major Christopher began his 35year career in Law Enforcement when he joined the Greenville Police Department (GPD) in 1964, after serving in the United States Marine Corps as a Platoon Sergeant. He ended his career in 2004, retiring at the rank of Major and second in command of the SC Law Enforcement Division (SLED).

“Chris,” as he was dubbed by his fellow officers, served briefly on his first GPD assignment as an undercover officer before working on foot patrol in downtown Greenville. He was promoted to Detective by 1970, and served as the commander for the first Tactical Unit for Special Operations, which became the first GPD Vice Squad. His work ethic and tenacity in solving major crimes set him apart and earned him numerous honors and awards. He was a graduate of the FBI National Academy and chaired many boards and community organizations throughout his career.

Through his dedicated service, he promoted positive communications between Law Enforcement and the Greenville community. At the GPD, he achieved the rank of Captain. He also served as Uniform Patrol Commander and Internal Affairs Commander prior to leaving the department to pursue a private business venture. He returned to Law Enforcement with SLED and resumed his devotion to a long and

successful career in that field.

Among his many honors and awards are Greenville County Law Enforcement Officer of the Year, the Greenville Jaycees’ Distinguished Service Award, and the Billy Wilkins Award for Excellence in Law Enforcement. While with SLED, he received the Strom Thurmond Award for Excellence in Law Enforcement, and upon his retirement from SLED, he was awarded the prestigious Order of the Palmetto for his exemplary service to our state.

Born in Williamston, South Carolina, Major Christopher was the son of the late James Bennett Christopher and Ruth Norris Christopher. He is survived by his wife, Carol Fuller Christopher, a daughter, Caren E. Christopher, a son, R. Dale Simmons (Sara), three grandchildren, Zacharie James Simmons, Evelyn Rose Simmons and Miles Christopher Simmons; he is also survived by brothers, Benny Christopher of Simpsonville, Stephen Christopher (Judy) of Woodruff, and sisters, Martha Bagwell (Van) of Pelzer, Lessie Austin of Pelzer, Becky Milford (Johnny) of Belton, as well as many beloved nieces, nephews and cousins.

In addition to his parents, Major Christopher was preceded in death by a sister, Mary Bruce, and two brothers, Bill Christopher and Pete Christopher.

A memorial service was held on Saturday, August 18, 2018 in the Chapel at Thomas McAfee Funeral Home, Downtown. Visitation followed the service.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Immanuel Lutheran Church,

Trusted since 1872.

“The goal of this event is to raise awareness about the ongoing needs in Greenville, such as affordable housing and feeding the homebound and elderly,” event founder Tommy Tomlinson said in a news release.

“Both Habitat for Humanity and Meals on Wheels of Greenville rely on the community to serve those in need and we’re happy we could support both of their missions.”

Tomlinson recently presented Monroe Free, president and CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Greenville County, and Catriona Carlisle, executive director of Meals on Wheels of Greenville, with the proceeds from the event.

Know the difference: Koi versus goldfish Koi are a subspecies of carp, which are domesticated and bred specifically for their bright and varied markings. The more koi, the larger and deeper the pond, but this can vary with the size of the fish. Typically, there are no more than four fish per 1,000 gallons of water. Koi are resilient omnivores, so don’t plan to put many plants in the pool. They can grow to be more than 2 feet long and generally live more than 50 years. Koi do well on their own, or they can share a pool with ornamental goldfish.

Goldfish are also carp relatives and have been bred for centuries in China.

They display an array of colors and patterns but notably also offer a variety of body sizes and shapes. Goldfish do not live as long as koi — an average of 10 years with good care — but are hardy fish as long as there is good filtration in their pond. Because goldfish tend to be smaller, their ponds need not be as large as those required by koi. Goldfish will not eat plants, making them a better choice for a water garden or smaller pond.

Playing koi Opinions run deep about ponds versus water gardens

By Julia Sibley-Jones Photography by TJ Getz

So you’re finally ready to build that koi pond. Now what?

According to Jim Borenstein, owner of South Pleasantburg Nursery, the first step is to decide whether you want a true koi pond or a water garden with a few fish.

A koi pond is all about fish: Some pond owners have dozens, he says. If you opt to go this route, you’ll need a larger and deeper pond with a more elaborate filtration system.

Koi will eat nearly anything green, so plant options are pretty much limited to water lilies.

Most residences opt for what’s called a water garden. It can be any size and, with water plants, can look especially natural, since the goal is to create a small ecosystem. Technology makes this easier now that filters and pumps are less expensive and more efficient than even a decade ago. Add a mixture of larger goldfish varieties, and you’re ready to go.

This is a hobby that can be relatively low-maintenance, or you can take a really deep dive. The key is to take the time

and spend the money to set up a pond or water garden the right way from inception.

“It’s hard to think bigger if you’re the one digging, but the No. 1 thing people wish they had done differently is to build their pond bigger to begin with,” Borenstein says.

More space is better for the health of the fish, plants, and the entire pond ecosystem, he says. Two feet is fine for a few fish, but if you have more than eight or 10 koi or goldfish, the cavity will need to be at least 3 feet deep.

“The initial cost will definitely be higher, but the planning and quality will more than make up for it in avoiding maintenance costs or, even worse, having to start over,” Borenstein says.

A great way to learn more is to talk with a growing community of the koi obsessed. The South Carolina Koi and Water Garden Society meets monthly and hosts an annual pond tour as well as an annual koi show. Mel Barutha, the society’s president, estimates that the Upstate boasts 73 homes with ponds or waterfalls.

“They can be really basic or they can be very extrava-

gant,” he says of the water features. “I know two people who have a waterfall just for the sound of the water, and other families with multiple ponds — some larger than swimming pools.”

But doesn’t that waste a lot of water? In fact, most ponds use slightly less water than the same size irrigated lawn because water is recaptured and used over and over. And, any worry about chemical use is unwarranted; the ecosystem filters itself because natural microbes and beneficial bacteria keep the system in balance. Usually the only treatment needed for ponds or water gardens is an additive to remove chlorine from the municipal water used to fill the pool, which well water wouldn’t require.

And what about mosquitoes? Nope. The constant running of the pump means that there is no still, stagnant water where mosquitoes could breed.

Borenstein says having a water garden is worth the setup.

“People want it for the sound of the water or the beauty of the plants, but the thing that keeps them is the fish,” he says. “They become pets and people really love them.”

Did You Know Smiling is Healthy!

There are many scientific studies done that have shown that smiling really is healthy! Smiling can help to change your mood from gloomy to sunny. The act of smiling creates positive endorphins in your brain that actually improve your mood. Smiling is also thought to be contagious; approximately 50% of people smile back. You spread the health benefits to those around you and it comes back to you as well. Most people find someone more attractive when they are smiling; men especially are attracted to a smiling woman while for women a smile is not the only factor initially identified. The effects of a good smile extend past just the exterior good looks. Stress relief is another great benefit of smiling, simple as smiling a little more throughout the day releases endorphins that counteract and diminish the stress hormones. People who smile more may even live longer too, around 7 years longer than most according to one study. Releasing stress can help the heart, temporarily lower blood pressure and much more to keep you in better health longer.

Your smile is powerful so you need to make the effort to care for this beneficial tool you carry everywhere you go! Maintaining your dental health is key to having the best smile possible.

LAST GROUP STANDING Marshall Tucker’s Doug Gray isn’t ready to stop performing VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER

Only lead singer Doug Gray, third from left, remains from the original lineup of The Marshall Tucker Band, though the current incarnation of the band has had a solid lineup for more than a decade. The band will perform Aug. 30 on the Peace Center TD Stage.

A quick look around the Southern rock landscape these days will show you that Spartanburg’s The Marshall Tucker Band, founded in 1972, is just about the last group standing, at least from the classic 1970s division of the genre. Lynyrd Skynyrd is in the midst of its farewell tour and The Allman Brothers Band broke up a few years back, so it’s hard to think of another first-rank group of Southern rockers still out there playing.

And it’s not like The Marshall Tucker Band hasn’t taken some hits along the way. Lead guitarist Toy Caldwell died in in the early 1990s. His bassist brother, Tommy, was killed in a car accident in 1980, and rhythm guitarist George McCorkle passed away in 2007. These days, only lead singer Doug Gray remains from the original lineup, though the current incarnation of the band has had a solid lineup for more than a decade.

“It’s a good feeling to still be out there, is all I gotta say,” Gray says. “We still have the respect and attitude that we had when we first started touring. Me and Toy always felt the same way when we started the band: We just wanted to go out there and play. We still go out there to hit the

HITMAKERS ON TOUR 3 Doors Down, Collective Soul, Soul Asylum co-headlining at Heritage Park VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER

vharris@communityjournals.com

The three bands performing this weekend at Heritage Park Amphitheatre in Simpsonville – 3 Doors Down, Collective Soul, and Soul Asylum – have sold about 25 million albums between them. They also essentially ruled modern-rock radio for a decade or so, with Soul Asylum scoring hits like “Runaway Train,” “Somebody to Shove,” and “Misery”; Collective Soul landing “Shine,” “December,” “The World I Know,” and “Precious Declaration”; and 3 Doors Down going multiplatinum with “Kryptonite,” “When I’m Gone,” and “The Road I’m On,” to name just a few.

“These bands all have a lot of hits,” says Collective Soul drummer Johnny Rabb. “It’s fun to listen to all three of the bands play all these songs that you know. With our set, we try to do all the songs that people could possibly expect, and a couple of unexpected, unreleased songs mixed in with the hits from the past records. But we want to give the fans what they want to hear.”

With 3 Doors Down and Collective Soul co-headlining the show with dueling 75-minute sets, there’s probably a sense of healthy competition between the bands to see who can blow whom off the stage each night, right?

Not so, Rabb says.

“That’s not how it is at all. It’s all fun.

We’re really different bands, so there’s no room for competition. We go out there

and do the best we can playing our songs, and everybody has respect for everybody else. That’s why we’re doing this tour.”

In fact, Rabb says he tries to catch the other two bands’ sets as much as possible, paying particular attention to the man behind Soul Asylum’s drum kit these days.

“Michael Bland is playing drums for Soul Asylum now, and he was the original drummer for Prince’s New Power Generation,” Rabb says. “I get to watch him play drums now, and I see him checking us out sometimes. That’s an honor.”

Those who might want to get a taste of what Collective Soul sounds like onstage before the show would do well to check out “Collective Soul: Live,” an 18-track album the band released in late 2017. It was a notable release because, other than a performance with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in 2007, it’s the only official live album in the band’s 26-year career.

“The cool thing about that record is that it’s just the band, raw,” Rabb says.

“It’s just the five of us. It marked what people can expect from us and it captured the energy of what we can do as a live act.

We pride ourselves on being a live band.

We’re not playing along to backing tracks.

What you see is what you get, and I’m proud of that.”

Rabb has something of a unique perspective on Collective Soul because he joined the band about seven years ago, after its multiplatinum heyday. Rabb says the band has still been able to maintain a strong following since then because of the dedication of its hardcore fans and the quality of its songs.

“Credit goes to the fans for being faithful and supportive, but a lot of it also has to do with the band’s power and energy,” he says. “It’s so refreshing. Even when I’m onstage doing my job, I look up sometimes and think, ‘These guys really know

Collective Soul. Photo provided

what they’re doing.’ I couldn’t be in a better situation.”

And even if it’s playing a hits-heavy set every night, Collective Soul isn’t trafficking in nostalgia. The band has recorded 19 new songs over the past couple of years, and it’s prepping for a new studio album — possibly even a double album — to be released soon.

“We still have the mindset of making a whole album,” Rabb says. “There’s a side A and a side B. We embrace streaming and the forward motion of technology, but we still love the old-school approach of making records.”

That’s how he and Scholz met. After two years of hounding Scholz to have a conversation, Eastland handed him a knife bag and told Scholz to use the contents and give feedback.

“I should’ve talked to him a lot sooner,” Scholz says.

“As soon as I started to use them, I could tell he was doing something special.”

Scholz then recommended his colleagues do the same, and it’s that word-of-mouth support that has allowed Eastland to grow his business over the last several years.

Dan Eastland’s custom-made cutlery draws on both Japanese and Western designs as part of its unique look and feel.

FUNCTIONAL and BEAUTIFUL

WORDS BY ARIEL TURNER PHOTO BY WILL CROOKS

Dogwood Custom Knives gives local chefs an edge in the kitchen Some Greenville chefs are taking the “locally sourced” mantra beyond the menu to their most important tools, thanks to local knife maker and artisan Dan Eastland of Dogwood Custom Knives.

“He’s adding another layer to the food and beverage community,” says Jason Scholz, executive chef of Stella’s Southern Bistro and Brasserie. “In the movement of making everything local, he’s filling in the gaps and adds another piece of fabric to the Upstate’s culture.”

Eastland, who moved with his family to Greenville four years ago, designs and crafts custom culinary and outdoor knives using some of the newest steel and resin technology available. An outdoorsman at heart, he says he’ll continue to make knives for that use, but his real passion is to create knives as functional as they are beau-

tiful for professional and home chefs.

Local chefs who’ve commissioned custom knives include Scholz, Shamil Velázquez of Husk Greenville, Wilbert Sauceda of The Lazy Goat, and Craig Kuhns at Greenbrier Farms.

Eastland’s handiwork also ships around the globe and can be found in the hands of some prominent members of the culinary world. While giving a tour of some custom pieces in his Greer workshop, Eastland casually quips that chef, author, and PBS personality Vivian Howard has one of his knives.

Eastland is a firm believer in his designs, all of which have been tested and revised by working chefs, so when he hands over a demo bag of knives to a new chef friend, he knows it’s a matter of time before he’ll get the order call.

with the superlative “unique” is not a stretch in this case.

To balance the German-versus-Japanese knife debate, his blade shapes are modeled after the contoured Japanese style with a sharper angle, while the handles are a Western shape and grip to accommodate the decades of muscle memory of most of his clients.

While he doesn’t forge the steel for his knives — “I learned how, but that’s cutting-edge technology from the 1400s” — he sources the sheets of metal he grinds for his blades from a company that uses the proprietary Crucible Particle Metallurgy process.

“It’s literally changed the structure of steel to make it stronger and hold an edge longer,” Eastland says. “So now you can make these thinner lighter blades that’ll outperform anything else made.”

What that means for chefs is a better, lighter tool that lessens the fatigue of using the same motion on the same dulling blade — the duller the blade, the harder the work — and guarantees a more precise outcome.

The type of handle material Eastland works with is also unusual and the first of its kind he’s found. In order to be food-grade — meaning it has to be a nonporous surface — he can’t use wood, unless it’s been sealed in resin, nor does he want to use generic black.

So, he gets creative: Dried coffee beans, rice, hops, nutmeg are compressed and sealed in resin. Fine art images are layered dozens of times and sealed in a resin block so that when the handle is shaped, the image remains consistent from all sides. Eastland says this is possible only because he found a “mad genius” in Florida to whom he can outsource the process of manufacturing these unique and technically challenging design requests.

The results are custom handles that showcase the intended owner’s personality. And that’s important for a chef who is going to use that knife for 50-plus hours a week, Scholz says.

“A chef is an artist in a temporary medium,” Eastland says. “They want to express themselves, and a custom knife, especially with the handle materials, it lets them be themselves. It lets them be something other than boring black plastic.”

Junto Coffee, a new project from barista Alex Medina, is now under construction. Follow their progress on Instagram @junto.coffee. Their neighbor — The Farehouse restaurant we’ve been anticipating since December — is nearing completion, but before it opens, they need servers, bartenders, line cooks, and dishwashers. Apply in person at 250 Mill St., Taylors, or call Jeremy at 864-982-9299.

A decade of delicious Stella’s Southern Bistro in Simpsonville is celebrating 10 years of business on Sept. 2, and they are throwing a party from 6-9 p.m. — as they should, since most locally owned restaurants don’t survive past the five-year mark. For $25, enjoy three hours of live outdoor music and heavy hors d’oeuvres. Tax, gratuity, and alcohol are additional, but bring a canned good to donate and get your first drink free. Reservations are required. Call 864-757-1212.

Mind your beeswax The rooftop of Golden Brown & Delicious just got a little sweeter thanks to some new residents up there. An actual hive of honey bees has been installed by Gregory Pest Control on the roof of the Village of West Greenville restaurant, and while they won’t bother the human pedestrians, they’ll do the important pollinating work on the urban garden below. Without honey bees, which pollinate more than 70 percent of our food crops, our selection of food would be vastly and disappointingly different. Save the bees, people.

Keep it going Five Table 301 restaurants that participated in restaurant week have extended their special prix fixe menus an additional week. So, if you missed the discounted meals at Jianna, Soby’s, The Nose Dive, Passerelle Bistro, or The Lazy Goat, you have until Sunday, Aug. 26 to take advantage. Also from the Table 301 group, the former Soby’s on the Side that was rebranded as Table 301 Kitchen with a new, smaller menu has added back fan favorite Daily Motivators. Those daily specials are: Monday, smoked pork barbecue; Tuesday, grilled hot dogs; Wednesday, grilled cheese; Thursday, chef’s choice flatbread pizzas; and Friday, Philly cheesesteaks.

Game On!

School is back in session, which means our favorite sports are back too!

Unfortunately, this means an increase in sports-related injuries. It's estimated that high school sports are responsible for 2 million injuries, 500,000 doctor visits, and 30,000 hospitalizations every year. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, nearly 3 million children under age 14 are hurt each year playing sports, 25 percent of them so seriously they require a trip to the emergency room.

Keeping this in mind, it’s important to recognize common sports-related injuries and their warning signs in order to lessen the impact of the injury and keep your athletes safe throughout the season.

SPRAIN OR STRAIN Sprain or strain to a muscle or joint are the most common sport related injury.

This type of injury can occur in just about any part of the body, although sprained ankles are the most common. Research has shown that early recognition and treatment of a sprain or strain will help speed your recovery, so schedule an appointment with a doctor or physical therapist as soon as possible. In the meantime, remember the R.I.C.E method… Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation… to reduce pain and swelling.

ACL TEAR An ACL tear is a tear to the anterior cruciate ligament. The ACL is the most commonly injured ligament in the knee, which affects an athlete’s ability to make the sudden or explosive movements required in sports like football, soccer, basketball and cheerleading. This can be a season or career ending injury.

CONCUSSIONS Usually caused by a blow to the head, concussions don't always involve a loss of consciousness. In fact, most people who have concussions never black out.

Many athletes don’t report or are unaware that they have a concussion. Here are some of the warning signs to help you identify if your athlete has sustained a concussion: • • • • • • • • • • • •

Loss of Consciousness (seen in less than 10 % of concussions) Forgets events prior to the injury (retrograde amnesia) Forgets events after the injury (anterograde amnesia) Appears to be dazed or stunned Is confused Forgets plays Is unsure of score or opponent Moves clumsily Seems off balance Shows behavior or personality change May repeat themselves Vomiting

Talk to one of the skilled clinicians at Elite Integrated Therapy Centers today about how to protect your athlete from sports-related injuries. All locations have extended hours to accommodate school and practice schedules!

CONCERT

AROUND TOWN THERAPY FOR EVERYBODY Tracy Lawrence with Kenton Bryant | 1035 Lowndes Hill Road AUG. 24 Blind Horse Saloon 8 p.m. | $23 in advance, $25 door There’s an interesting parallel between the state of country music in the early 1990s and the state of country music today. Back then, as now, it seemed like genuine country music was a hard commodity to come by, while the radio was ruled by a watered-down, poppier variation, chock full of overly polished arrangements with zero twang or honky-tonk grit. A wave of neotraditionalists arose in the 1990s — like Chris Stapleton and Sturgill Simpson are doing now — bringing crying pedal steel guitars and fiddles back to the forefront. Artists such as Alan Jackson, Randy Travis, and Garth Brooks led the charge, and Tracy Lawrence wasn’t far behind, selling millions of albums and scoring hit singles like “Today’s Lonely Fool,” “Sticks and Stones,” “Can’t Break It to My Heart,” “Alibis,” and “Time Marches On.” Those multiplatinum days might be gone, but Lawrence is still hitting the honkytonks, with his cowboy hat and pure country vocal twang fully intact.

AROUND TOWN Tribute: A Celebration of Band AUG. 24 The Allman Brothers The Spinning Jenny | 107 Cannon St., Greer CONCERT

8 p.m. | $15 in advance, $20 door

When, five years ago, guitarist Rod Gunther formed Tribute: A Celebration of The Allman Brothers Band, it wasn’t just because he noticed that tribute bands were getting more and more popular. That was part of it, sure, but Gunther noticed that there was one band, a group that he loved, that didn’t seem to be getting a lot of attention on the tribute circuit.

“It all started with a love of The Allman Brothers Band,” Gunther says. “They were a band I loved from the time I started playing guitar, and when this whole tribute-band thing started to take off, it seemed like no one was playing them. It seemed like something I would enjoy doing, so I found some guys who felt that way, too; we’ve been doing it for five years.”

One of the most striking aspects of Tribute’s sound is singer Oliver Nichols, who can emulate Gregg Allman’s bluesy growl to an uncanny degree.

“When it came time to put this together, what I didn’t want was some guy trying to look the part or mimic mannerisms,” Gunther says. “I just wanted somebody who could sing the songs in a way I thought Gregg would appreciate hearing. Oliver came in to audition and sang “It’s Not My Cross to Bear,” and the minute we finished the song, I said, ‘That’s it, we’ve got a band!’”
