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

Views from your community

New Greenville Tech program helps build skilled workforce

By Keith Miller Have you ever wondered how colleges develop new degrees and programs? For two-year colleges, new offerings are directly tied to employer needs. Our role is to make sure that the companies in our community have the educational options available to access a skilled workforce. When those employers have an unmet need, we create an answer.

That’s how Greenville Technical College’s applied baccalaureate in advanced manufacturing technology came to be. The need for this educational option was voiced by some of our area’s strongest manufacturing employers including Michelin, GE, and Bosch Rexroth. The first step toward offering the degree was legislative approval. In June, the South Carolina House and Senate passed a bill allowing us to move forward with the curriculum. Last week, Gov. Henry McMaster signed the bill, a critical step forward for our state. Now, Greenville Technical College is seeking necessary approvals from the state Board for Technical and Comprehensive Education, the Commission on Higher Education, and our accrediting body, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. Soon, we expect to have the program up and running, allowing companies in our area to grow and succeed.

We are not the first state to offer applied baccalaureates. In fact, two-year colleges in 19 states are currently providing this option, and several other states are somewhere in the approval process. Altogether, 90 community colleges across the nation are offering about 900 baccalaureate programs.

The degree we will offer does not duplicate anything offered by a four-year institution in South Carolina and is very different from traditional bachelor’s degrees offered on four-year campuses. Our degree is technical in focus with a project-based curriculum. Learning will be active, engaging, and hands-on.

The applied baccalaureate in advanced manufacturing will benefit the companies that require this level of education and the graduates who will be ready to assume technical and managerial leadership posi-

tions in our growing global manufacturing economy. This degree is designed for those currently working in technical manufacturing positions and looking for a way to advance and for those seeking to enter the high-tech manufacturing industry.

At Greenville Technical College’s Center for Manufacturing Innovation, students will gain hands-on skills using manufacturing equipment including a five-axis machining center, fully automated manufacturing systems, robotics, additive manufacturing technology, industrial hydraulics, pneumatics, and mechanical systems. They will have the opportunity to participate in industryled collaborative research projects as part of their education. Through these experiences, students will build portfolios that document mastery of teamwork and application of new and emerging technologies to real-world manufacturing problems.

Manufacturing is leading South Carolina’s strong economy. Total output from manufacturing was $35.16 billion in 2016. There were 239,500 manufacturing employees in the state, working for 3,400 firms. The S.C. Department of Commerce reports that 59,000 new manufacturing jobs were announced in the state from 2011 to 2017. Our mission is to provide people to fill those jobs, transforming graduates’ lives and their families’ futures in the process.

As we move ahead with the approvals needed to offer an applied baccalaureate degree in advanced manufacturing technology, we are grateful to our leaders in state government for their foresight in bringing educational offerings up to speed with current needs. We are very fortunate in South Carolina to enjoy a strong economy. By meeting the needs of employers and giving the people of our state access to opportunity, we can expect that strength to continue..

Keith Miller is president of Greenville Technical College, past chairman of the board for the American Association of Community Colleges, and a former member of the board for the American Council on Education.

I’m Too Young.

Yeah... that’s what our members said too.

CLEMSON FOOTBALL PREVIEW

Words by Cindy Landrum Photos by Richard Shiro

uring the past three seasons, Clemson has a record of 40-4, won three Atlantic Coast Conference championships, made three College Football Playoff appearances, and won a national title.

The good news for Tiger fans — and bad news for opponents — is that head coach Dabo Swinney’s 2018 squad is loaded and ready to continue the program’s recent success.

With a senior-laden squad, many of whom know nothing but finishing the season as a playoff team, and backups who would be starters for many other programs, Clemson is a runaway pick to win the conference again and contend for another national championship.

D

Here’s a quick guide to the 2018 season.

Three games to watch SEPT. 8 AT TEXAS A&M

Jimbo Fisher is no longer at Florida State, but that doesn’t mean the Tigers won’t face him in 2018. Fisher was lured to College Station with a 10-year, $75 million deal, after the Aggies went 7-6 last year. Athlon has predicted that A&M will beat Clemson in the biggest upset in college football this year.

OCT. 27 AT FLORIDA STATE

It’s been a decade since a team other than Clemson or Florida State has won the Atlantic Division title.

Clemson has won the past three games, but Florida State won the three before that.

NOV. 24 VS. SOUTH CAROLINA

Clemson-Carolina. Enough said.

Ten players to watch #75 Mitch Hyatt • OT

Hyatt is a fourth-year starter who became the first true

freshman to start on the offensive line at Clemson since 1980. He has started 42 games, and made the All-American team in 2017. His uncle, Dan Benish, was an all-conference defensive lineman for Clemson’s 1981 national championship team.

#5 Tee Higgins • WR

In 2016, Mike Williams was Clemson’s elite go-to deep ball threat at wide receiver. Last year, it was Deon Cain.

This year, it’s sophomore Tee Higgins. In Clemson’s spring game, Higgins had four catches for 118 yards and two touchdowns. In high school, Higgins was Tennessee’s Mr. Football as a junior and senior.

#2 Kelly Bryant • QB

A Manning Award finalist in 2017, Bryant led the Tigers to 12 wins during his first year as starting quarterback.

Six of the wins were over top 25 teams. Bryant joined Tajh Boyd as the only Clemson quarterbacks in the past 50 years to lead the Tigers to an ACC championship without having started a game the previous season. His .658 pass completion percentage was 10th best in the nation.

#16 Trevor Lawrence • QB

When Clemson starting quarterback Kelly Bryant was leading the Tigers back to the College Football Playoff

08.31.2018 | GREENVILLE JOURNAL | 9

COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM

#50 Justin Falcinelli • C

Falcinelli is on the Rimington Trophy watch list for the nation’s top centers, and is rated third in the nation at that position by Lindy’s. He started in all 14 games last year, earning honorable mention All-American honors by College Football News and an All-ACC first team selection.

His father, David, played one season at Notre Dame.

#8 Justyn Ross • WR

Wide receiver Justyn Ross last year, Lawrence was finishing up a high school career that saw him go 52-2 as a starter and win two state championships.

Now, the No. 1 high school player in the nation last year is second on the depth chart, behind Bryant. Lawrence holds Georgia state records for passing yards and passing touchdowns that were previously held by former Tiger quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Starting defensive line Clelin Ferrell, Christian Wilkins, Austin Bryant, Dexter Lawrence Yes, I know, this is not one player. But how do you pick just one or two players from a starting defensive line that analysts say could be the best collegiate defensive line ever? You don’t. Ferrell, Wilkins, and Bryant passed up the NFL draft to chase a fourth consecutive ACC title and a second national title in three seasons.

#9 Travis Etienne • RB

As a freshman last year, Etienne exploded onto the scene with a team-high 766 yards rushing and 13 touchdowns on 107

carries. His 7.2 yards per carry was fourth in Clemson history. He was tied for 10th in the nation with four carries of 50 yards or longer.

#34 Kendall Joseph • LB

Joseph was a third-team All-ACC selection last year, finishing ninth in the conference in tackles per game. He was the team’s co-Defensive Player of the Game in last year’s ACC Championship win over Miami and in Clemson’s loss to Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. Joseph’s 222 tackles are third among active ACC players.

#13 Hunter Renfrow • WR

Hunter Renfrow isn’t Clemson’s biggest wide receiver. He’s not the flashiest, either. But he knows how do damage to the defense, especially on third down. Those qualities have been evident to anybody who has followed Clemson football for the past few years. Renfrow went from being a walk-on to a Clemson legend, catching four touchdowns in two national championship games against Alabama.

Ross is the first No. 1 player in Alabama to sign with Clemson, and was just the second top-ranked player in that state who did not sign with the Alabama Crimson Tide since 2005. He had 37 receptions for 730 yards and 13 touchdowns as a high school senior. The freshman had a onehanded catch in practice this preseason that went viral after it was posted on the Clemson football Twitter account.

Five things to do on game day Getting into the stadium in time to watch the Tigers run down the Hill, called by many the most exciting 25 seconds in college football, is a given. Here are five other things you can do on game day.

Hollywild faces criticism after megachurch uses exotic animals during sermon ANDREW MOORE | STAFF

amoore@communityjournals.com

Despite closing to the public more than a year ago, Hollywild Animal Park in Wellford remains a target for one of the country’s largest animal rights groups.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, published a letter on Wednesday criticizing a megachurch in Nashville, Tenn., after it used animals from the former roadside zoo during a recent back-to-school worship service.

“All animals are individuals, created by God’s wondrous hand, and they feel joy, sadness, loneliness, and fear, just as humans do,” wrote Colleen O’Brien, vice president of communications at PETA. “Using them in these types of displays undermines what it means to be a good steward of God’s creation.”

A recording of the 1.5-hour-long service shows Galen Davis, the associate lead pastor for Cornerstone Church, standing in front of several enclosures on a large stage and using the zoo’s animals, including a cougar, lion, ram, and horse, as teaching illustrations, linking their characteristics to a biblical message.

The video also shows Davis briefly taunting the park’s white African lion, Mandela, during the sermon. The 600-pound lion, which was sent to Hollywild in 2015 from South Africa, responds by growling and lunging toward Davis from behind his windowed enclosure.

David Meeks, founder and owner of Hollywild, also briefly appears during the sermon, standing in the background and watching as Davis leads the zoo’s miniature horse, Sebastian, on stage to discuss faith and parenthood with his congregation.

In its letter to Cornerstone Church, PETA not only criticized Davis but also once again took aim at Hollywild Animal Park, saying the former roadsize zoo, which now operates as a wildlife preserve, has a “notorious history of failing animals.”

The U.S. Department of Agriculture fined Hollywild for nearly $19,000 in 2015 after a two-year investigation found animals held in unsafe enclosures, a repeated lack of veterinary care, and numerous other issues throughout the park.

A barn fire in 2015 also killed more than two dozen of the park’s animals, including

a bear cub and four wolf hybrid puppies.

Many park patrons and community members voiced sadness and disappointment about the loss of so many animals. PETA even called upon federal authorities to shut the park down and revoke its license.

The USDA conducted a full inspection after the fire and cleared the park after finding no compliance issues, Meeks told the Greenville Journal. Hollywild, however, took a financial hit as a result of the fire, forcing it to close to the public last year.

Meeks and his wife, Lucia, have since assumed responsibility for the park’s finances and hired their own staff to oversee the care of its wildlife collection, which now includes four lions, two tigers, and more than 300 other exotic animals.

The park’s latest set of routine inspections, which occurred in July, showed “no non-compliant items,” according to USDA documents.

In addition to managing Hollywild’s animals, the Meekses also continue to operate the park’s animal talent agency, using their backyard menagerie for advertising campaigns, brochures, films, art exhibits, and Nativity scenes.

Meeks said his agency, Cinema Animal Talent, has donated its services to Cornerstone Church for more than a decade, receiving travel permits from the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, which oversees import requirements, and providing state and federal authorities with a certificate of veterinary inspection for each animal.

While acknowledging that travel can be stressful for captive animals, Meeks said his agency transported the park’s lion, cougar, horse, and ram in “large trailers” with frequent stops during the five-hour road trip to Cornerstone.

He said that a representative with the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency was present at Cornerstone Church before and after the service to ensure the park’s animals were transported safely and placed in proper enclosures.

“I am licensed to do these kinds of things,” Meeks said. “I pay my fees and keep my records. I do everything that’s required.”

Nancy Whitworth named Greenville’s interim city manager CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Nancy Whitworth, who has played an integral role in Greenville’s resurgence as the head of the city’s economic development department, was named interim city manager Monday night.

Current city manager John Castile’s last day is Friday, Aug. 31. Castile, a longtime city employee, has served as city manager since July 2010.

Whitworth, who was named Greenville’s economic development director in 1992 and deputy city manager in 2011, has agreed to serve in the position for six months while the city council hires a replacement.

“I don’t think we’ll ever be able to replace John Castile,” Whitworth said. “My intent is to keep the momentum going.”

Whitworth said she would not apply for the job permanently.

“It’s not something that I aspire to, but I’m willing to do it for an interim period of time,” she said. She said Castile is leaving the city in a great position and it has strong department heads in place.

Whitworth said she agreed to take the role when asked by council because she’s committed to the city.

“I’ve been here my entire career. I’m very passionate about the city,” she said.

“I love what I do in economic development, working with the community and business sector, and planning. I love do-

ing that, and I will continue to do some of that.”

Whitworth said it’s important for the city to get the right person for the city manager position because the city’s

Gov. Henry McMaster shakes hands with Keith Miller, president of Greenville Technical College, after the ceremonial signing of a bill to allow technical colleges to offer an applied bachelor’s degree.

GEARING UP

SC technical schools can now offer four-year degrees in advanced manufacturing technology ARIEL GILREATH | STAFF

agilreath@communityjournals.com

For the first time, technical colleges in South Carolina can offer students fouryear degrees.

South Carolina’s General Assembly passed a bill in June that was introduced by the state House of Representatives to allow technical colleges the ability to offer students an applied baccalaureate degree in advanced manufacturing technology, so long as no additional state funding is requested for the program. Previously, technical colleges were not able to offer anything past the associate degree level.

Gov. Henry McMaster did a ceremonial signing of the bill at Greenville Technical

College’s Center for Manufacturing Innovation at noon August 22, although the governor officially signed bill H.4931 on July 2.

“The country is experiencing a change in the way it works, and things require more flexibility, things require a lot more skill than it used to — the old mills are gone,” McMaster told the crowd at the signing ceremony.

McMaster said about 20 other states allow technical colleges to offer applied bachelor’s degrees.

“That is the one missing thing that we needed to be sure that we maintain our pre-eminence in the higher education of our young people,” McMaster said.

Keith Miller, president of Greenville

Tech, said the college has led efforts to get the bill passed for more than two years.

“Greenville Tech made this happen,” Miller said.

An applied bachelor’s degree is different from a typical bachelor’s degree in that the program is focused more on specific, hands-on skills rather than theoretical knowledge.

“It’s hands-on, very highly technical, computerized project-based learning as opposed to the theoretical side of it. If you sit in a traditional classroom, you get the theoretical side of it, and both approaches are important,” Miller said.

The college already offers an associate degree in manufacturing technology, but the applied bachelor’s degree will allow

students to receive more advanced skills over the course of four years.

“The careers have changed that we’re training for. The skills that are required for technicians at the high end — the highly skilled technicians — you can’t address those in just a two-year program,” Miller said.

But the bill is only the first step in getting the program at Greenville Tech — the college still must get the program certified and approved by the state Technical College System board, the state Commission on Higher Education, and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.

“But the first critical step has occurred, and it makes it possible,” Miller said.

BIG PLANS

The Robert W. Leach University Transfer Building is one of several buildings on Greenville Technical College’s Barton Campus that is slated for renovations.

Greenville Tech plans out projects, expansions for next 7 years ARIEL GILREATH | STAFF

agilreath@communityjournals.com

Greenville Technical College has mapped out most of its upcoming big projects — and how much they will cost — for the next seven years.

The biggest project on the list is one new building to hold students currently in the Ernest F. Hollings Health Sciences Center and the Robert W. Leach Sr. University Transfer Building.

Jacqui DiMaggio, vice president for finance at Greenville Tech, said the University Transfer Building is the biggest classroom facility on the Barton Campus with most of the college’s students passing through it.

“That building was built in the ’70s, and it’s got a lot of challenges with it — we need to update pretty much everything,” DiMaggio said. “And it’s not something you can do without vacating the building entirely.”

The Health Sciences Center, which was built nearly 50 years ago, is also in need of updates.

With students from both buildings in one new, combined facility, the old Uni-

versity Transfer Building and Health Sciences Center can be renovated and used for other purposes, DiMaggio said.

The total estimated cost for the project is $36 million, which includes upgrades to the college’s central energy plant.

Other than updating some of its decades-old buildings, the college’s primary goal with the new construction is to get its support services back on the main campus and potentially at the current University Transfer Building.

The college’s support services have been 1 mile off campus at McAlister Square since 2003.

While it isn’t far, DiMaggio said it can be a hassle for students who can’t drive.

“What the master plan calls for is to move our student services back to the main campus,” DiMaggio said. “There are some students that don’t have transportation, and it just creates a hardship.

It would just be really nice to have everything back on this campus.”

The goal is to have the new Health Sciences/University Transfer Building completed by 2021, but DiMaggio said the date isn’t set in stone because the project is contingent on county bonds.

The college has other renovations planned, as well. In 2020, the college has planned renovations for the Technical Resource Center to make it more like a student success center rather than a large library. In 2021, along with the new Health Sciences/ University Transfer Building, the college has plans to update its online system that performs registration and payroll functions, as well as update its central energy plant and classroom technology.

In 2022, the college plans to have renovated the old University Transfer Building. In 2023, the college hopes to complete a park and bridge on the Benson Campus, contingent on donations received for the project.

Although Greenville Tech has a list of projects planned, it also has upcoming projects that aren’t yet fleshed out. At the college’s August area commission meeting, one board member mentioned a project previously discussed to create another branch for the school’s culinary program in Greenville.

Keith Miller, president of Greenville Tech, said the college’s foundation would be involved in funding the project, which has not yet been fully developed.

The college’s culinary program is currently located on its Northwest Campus off of White Horse Road past Berea.

Furman gets National Science Foundation grant to acquire imaging system CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Furman University received a National Science Foundation Major Research Instrumentation grant to buy equipment to help students and faculty study DNA, proteins, and other biomolecules.

Chemistry professor Karen Buchmueller, who wrote the grant proposal, said the new imaging system would impact at least six faculty members and 35 undergraduates each year, including research experiences for South Carolina high school teachers and students, and visiting students from other regional universities.

Furman faculty and students are engaged in a wide

range of research projects that will benefit from the enhanced capability of the new system, from improved biophysical characterization of proteins that bind to DNA, including the understanding and development of Furman University’s new imaging system will aid with on-campus research, potential cancer therapies, to studyas well as provide research experiences for high school teachers and students from around the state. ing the fundamental mechanisms of cell migration.

The as-yet-unnamed female Sumatran orangutan was born earlier this month at the Greenville Zoo.

OH, BABY!

Orangutan born at Greenville Zoo reunited with mom following cesarean delivery ANDREW MOORE | STAFF

amoore@communityjournals.com

The Greenville Zoo says a 25-day-old female Sumatran orangutan that was hand-

raised following a cesarean section delivery is finally in the arms of her mother.

Zoo officials say the 3.4-pound baby orangutan was physically introduced to her mother, Lana, for the first time last week.

Since then, Lana has been constantly cradling and nursing her baby.

The unnamed infant was born via Csection on Aug. 7 to Lana, a 33-year-old female, and Kumar, a 13-year-old male. She is the first orangutan to be born at the Greenville Zoo in 12 years, according to zoo director Jeff Bullock. The last orangutan born at the zoo was Bob, a male Bornean orangutan born to parents Mia and Chelsea in 2006. All three orangutans have since been transferred to other zoos.

Following the birth of Lana’s baby, the zoo provided around-the-clock care for the infant to ensure Lana’s sutures stayed in place, and that she had fully recovered from the stress of the immobilization, anesthesia, and surgery before she was tasked with caring for her baby.

Since infant orangutans instinctively cling to their mothers during the first few months of life, the zoo’s staff had to carry the baby for 24 hours a day, according to zoo curator Keith Gilchrist. Staff members took four-hour shifts wearing specialized vests that were outfitted with strips the newborn could cling to.

Zookeeper Jennifer Stahl said caring for the baby orangutan was similar to caring for a human baby.

“It’s an endless cycle of sleeping and feeding,” she said.

Sarah Schwenzer, a veterinary technician at the zoo, said the zoo used up to 18 bottles of formula per day to feed the baby orangutan. The infant feeds about every two hours.

The zoo’s veterinary staff also performed daily medical assessments on the newborn, taking its temperature and recording its weight, Schwenzer said.

Last week, the zoo’s staff met and decided that Lana was healthy and ready to care for her infant. The duo has since been separated from Kumar and given access to several indoor dens that have been babyproofed with padded floors and cleared of shelving and climbing materials, according to Bullock.

The zoo will continue to monitor Lana and her baby through the day and overnight via closed-circuit cameras, noting when and how long the baby nurses and anything else that occurs to ensure that Lana is taking care of the infant.

It will also place cameras inside the dens to give visitors an opportunity to view the pair via a television monitor from inside the orangutan viewing area.

Zookeepers briefly introduced the baby orangutan to her outdoor habitat earlier this week, allowing visitors to catch a quick glimpse of the infant through a viewing window.

Bullock said the zoo plans to hold a naming contest for Lana’s baby in the coming weeks.

Visitors can expect to see the orangutan family together on exhibit this fall or next spring if the reintroduction is successful, Bullock said.

Greenville County may use GHS settlement money for affordable housing CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Greenville County could use some of the money it will receive as part of a deal brokered to settle a dispute over governance of the Greenville Health System for affordable housing.

County Administrator Joe Kernell told Greenville County Council members during a recent meeting of the whole committee that the county will get $1 million per year for 20 years as part of a compromise bill passed by the state Legislature. The components of the bill were included in a settlement of a lawsuit filed by some local legislators alleging the GHS board improperly turned over governance of the public nonprofit health system to a private nonprofit entity.

Kernell recommended the first $5 million the county collects be given to the Greenville County Redevelopment Authority to establish a revolving fund that could be used to increase affordable housing in the county.

A study completed earlier this year found the county has a shortage of 9,432 housing units that are affordable to households earning less than $25,000 per year, a group that makes up more than 23 percent of those who reside in Greenville County, but outside the boundaries of the city of Greenville.

The study by Alexandria, Virginiabased urban planning and neighborhood development consulting firm CZB LLC found there are 60,000 households in Greenville County whose maximum affordable rent is less than what forprofit developers need to break even.

Greenville’s downtown vibrancy hinges on tourism, and on restaurants and hotels, which rely on $8- to $10-anhour labor to clean rooms, bus tables, and tend bar, consultant Charles Buki has said. Using the commonly accepted definition of affordable as being no more than 30 percent of household income, the $520 monthly rent they can afford is infeasible for the private market to deliver without subsidy, he said.

The study found that if the county’s trajectory of economic growth continues, it would be only a matter of time before teachers and first responders also found themselves priced out of good housing options.

Right now, households with annual incomes between $40,000 and $60,000, who are able to afford rents between $1,100 and $1,700 a month, have the

capacity to find a good apartment near their jobs in the county. But there is a shortage of homes to buy that are priced between $140,000 and $220,000. That means they’ll rent longer, occupying apartments that would otherwise be rented by households with slightly lower incomes, or they will buy outside of the county, Buki said.

Kernell said the county’s affordablehousing fund could be used by GCRA for various programs such as down-payment assistance, construction of rental units, and subdivision public infrastructure. He said the $5 million fund would be replenished as property is sold, loans are extinguished, or special assessments are paid. The GCRA could work with the new Greenville Housing Fund established by the city, Councilman Lynn Ballard said.

GOOOOOOOAAAAALLL! Former soccer star named Greenville Triumph head coach ARIEL GILREATH | STAFF

agilreath@communityjournals.com

Greenville’s newest professional soccer team now has a head coach — one who played in two FIFA World Cup tournaments and is a member of the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

John Harkes was announced head coach of Greenville Triumph on Monday, little more than two weeks after the new United Soccer League Division III team unveiled its name and logo.

Greenville Triumph is one of 10 D3 teams announced to compete next year in the United Soccer League, with four more team announcements expected by the end of September.

Harkes, who most recently coached the Division II team FC Cincinnati, signed a three-year contract with Greenville Triumph after the team conducted a nationwide search for the position.

Joe Erwin, chairman of the team, said Harkes was their first choice.

“Our first-choice candidate told us that he and his wife were simply blown away by our community and by Greenville’s history and positive story of triumph,” Erwin said.

The team announced Harkes will move to Greenville in September, and tryouts could start as early as November.

Harkes was the first American to compete in the English Premier League before moving to Major League Soccer with D.C. United in 1996.

He went on to serve as a commentator for ESPN’s coverage of the Major Soccer League before becoming head coach of FC Cincinnati.

“When you have the experience as a player, you want to grow as well, you want to evolve and you want to change, and for me it was adding skillsets as a coach,” Harkes said. “There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a player that you’ve been able

to inspire or grow that love for the game.”

Harkes and his wife met through soccer, and all three of their children play soccer — his son is a member of D.C. United, one of his daughters plays with Clemson’s women’s soccer team and his youngest daughter is a freshman at Elon University in North Carolina.

Harkes said he’s excited to build a team from the ground up.

“I love putting your stamp on something, and I love having accountability in the game to say, ‘What can we create?

What can we grow here’” Harkes said.

“This opportunity came at the right time,

and I think it’s really special to grow something from the ground up.”

The United Soccer League announced the Greenville Triumph franchise in its Division III league back in March. Not long after, the team announced it had chosen Chris Lewis, former director of the Swamp Rabbits hockey team, as its athletic director.

Greenville Triumph is set to start its season against other D3 teams in March of 2019. Erwin said the team will make an announcement in the coming months on where it will play for its first season.

By the start of 2019, Erwin said he hopes to announce plans for a permanent stadium.

9 candidates file for 6 seats on Greenville County Schools board of trustees ARIEL GILREATH | STAFF

agilreath@communityjournals.com

Nine candidates are running for six open seats on the Greenville County Schools board of trustees.

Filing for the election was open from noon July 16 until noon Aug. 15. The election is closed, meaning candidates must live within the seat’s district lines to run.

A candidate running for the Area 26 seat in the southern part of Greenville County would have to live in that area.

The 12 board seats have staggered election years with six seats opening every two years. The candidates serve four-year terms. Three incumbents have challengers — Area 18 board member Pat Sudduth, Area 22 board member Lynda Leventis-Wells, and Area 28 board member Lisa Wells.

Area 21 will also be on the ballot after trustee Danna Rohleder left the board effective Aug. 8. Filing for the seat opens at noon Aug. 24 and closes at noon Sept. 3.

The seat will be added to the regular Nov. 6 election instead of a special election.

Area 18: Pat Sudduth Occupation: Retired social studies teacher Important issue: School safety, old buses “I hope to continue, first of all, with making sure our schools are safe, and that we have more officers on our school grounds, especially at the elementary school level — that seems to be something we still seem to be lacking at,” Sudduth said.

“I’d certainly get rid of all of the old buses in Greenville County, and of course I’m always trying to improve on our graduation rate.”

Area 18: Bob Cotter Occupation: Retired band teacher Important issue: Letting teachers teach “I’m really concerned that the teachers have so much paperwork to do that they don’t get time to teach,” Cotter said. “And I’m concerned that they all get put inside this little box, and they say, ‘You must teach this at this time, you must be here by a certain date, you can’t be there before that date.’”

Area 22: Rob Kendrick Occupation: Retired business teacher, owns GreenLeaf Realty Important issue: Efficiency in district resources “Everybody talks about Greenville being a large district and the fact that it’s consolidated, and I think there are a lot of opportunities to try and introduce some business principles and ideas to help the district function more efficiently,” Kendrick said.

Area 26: Roger Meek Occupation: President of Bramlett Insurance Agency Important issue: District budget, school safety “The budget is always very important, and I think also in this day and time, making sure that our schools are safe, that parents feel comfortable sending their children to school,” Meek said. “We’re working on that every day — I’ve been a proponent for a lot of new ideas and things that are taking place in our schools right now.”

Area 28: Lisa Wells Occupation: Civil engineering work for commercial and industrial clients as well as the city of Greenville Important issue: Greenville County population growth, student safety “Our biggest issue is dealing with population growth in our communities and schools while we protect existing options and expand high-quality school-choice opportunities for families across the county,” Wells said. “Equally important is the issue of student well-being and safety — we must create better support networks and interventions in our schools to assist students before they hit a crisis point.”

Area 28: Darryl Imperati Occupation: Former principal of Woodmont High School Important issue: Providing the best educational opportunities for staff and students “I believe that anyone wishing to run for the school board shouldn’t denigrate, but rather build up,” Imperati said. “If elected, I’ll be a strong voice for the entire area which I will serve, always advocating for parity and always striving for excellence and always building on the foundation that’s been laid. There are too many times folks tear down and tear apart. My record as a school administrator is one of building up.”

HEALTH presented by

PHYSICALS GET ADVANCED For some patients, doctors take closer looks

By Leigh Savage Physicals can uncover important information about what patients can do to improve or maintain their health.

But for some people — especially those with certain risk factors — an advanced physical is the only way to get a full and revealing picture.

Dr. Jack Durham, who has been in practice for 35 years, the last five with PartnerMD, said some patients are asking for a more advanced physical. It is something he recommends to those with a high risk for coronary artery disease.

“People at higher risk would be smokers, those with a sedentary lifestyle, high blood pressure, obesity, a lack of exercise,” he said. “And we see people who don’t have those risk factors but have a family history.”

Routine physicals include complete blood count, a metabolic panel to check kidney and liver function, and tests for cholesterol and other health indicators. These all provide excellent information, Durham said. Advanced physicals go above and beyond by adding less-common tests such as an expanded lipid panel, genetic testing, and a critical vessel screening.

Care so personal, it’s like having a doctor in the family.

For some individuals, an advanced physical is the only way to get a full health picture.

The expanded lipid panel can find people who may have heart disease but have normal cholesterol levels.

“It checks subfractions of cholesterol, and can give us a heads-up — the subfractions can show if they are at greater risk for heart attack or stroke, and we can talk about changes they can make, through lifestyle or medication, that would do them good,” Durham said.

Genetic testing is another important component, and can show whether people are more susceptible to certain diseases, he said.

“For people with a family history, it’s another thing we can add that tells us how aggressive we need to be to prevent future problems,” Durham said. “Half of people who have issues with their heart never realized that there was something that predisposed them to have the issue.”

The genetic testing allows doctors to do the job of preventing disease, rather than waiting to diagnose and treat it, he said.

Critical vessel screening tests the carotid arteries, which provide the blood supply to the brain. The test

looks for developing plaque or blockages there, as well as the abdominal aorta and the ankle brachial index, or ABI, which checks for different blood pressure in the hands and feet, which can point to blockage. Understanding the results of these advanced tests often leads to lifestyle changes for patients, such as quitting smoking, adding exercise, or boosting nutrition.

“We always start with lifestyle changes,” Durham said.

“Losing weight can help a lot, but as they say, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink. Some patients, it strikes a chord, and they walk out of here and they are on board with it.”

Other people find they need medication, such as statins, which can help reduce cholesterol.

If risk factors cause the doctor to suggest the test, insurance companies will often cover it, he said. While every patient doesn’t need the advanced physical, for those who do, the information can be life-altering.

“It gives you a path to follow,” he said. “The earlier you do it, the better.”

Imagine having a doctor you trust as a true partner in health. Imagine also having unlimited access to a health coach who offers solutions tailored just for you. At PartnerMD, our primary care physicians and coaches provide members care so personal, it’s like having a doctor in the family.

Habitat for Humanity dedicates seventh CEO Build home More than 30 local business leaders recently dedicated a home as part of the seventh Habitat for Humanity CEO Build in the Grace Point community. The annual build strives to unite community businesses to help construct homes for local families making between 30 and 60 percent of the area median income. Along with Habitat, executives support the future homeowners through volunteer hours.

Betty Powers and her son Quinn will receive the newly constructed Habitat house.

The Greenville natives have completed hours of work on their new home through the ReStore. Their home is an important milestone in the completion of the Grace Point subdivision, as it will be the final phase of the neighborhood.

“We are glad our CEO Build has made such an impact within the businesses around the Upstate,” Monroe Free, president and CEO of Habitat Greenville, said in a news release. “We continue to gain more and more organizations every year and have been very fortunate and proud to collaborate with these terrific companies.”

Former Michelin executive Dick Wilkerson led construction for the seventh CEO Build. Contributing businesses include Greenville Health System, Renewable Water Resources, Greenville Technical College, Spinx, and Lockheed Martin.

“I always have such a great time when I get to help out with the CEO Builds,” Wilkerson said in the release. “Having different businesses from all over the Greenville community come out to support these families and Habitat is always such an awesome thing to see.”

The Cliffs Valley presents check to Upstate Warrior Solutions Residents of The Cliffs Valley recently gave $34,681 to Upstate Warrior Solutions to help meet local veterans’ needs. The donation was a result of a Memorial Day golf tournament hosted by The Cliffs Valley. Presentation of the check to UWS took place on the first tee behind The Cliffs Valley Clubhouse.

UWS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission to connect veterans to available resources, lead them to self-empowerment, and inspire the community to recognize local warriors and their families as neighbors and friends. More than 2,300 Upstate warrior family members have been helped since UWS began in 2013.

Harvest Hope Food Bank receives $12,000 donation from The Darden Foundation The Darden Foundation granted $12,000 to Harvest Hope Food Bank to help fight hunger. Funds from the unrestricted grant will be allocated to areas in the community in most need.

“One in 7 people struggle with hunger in our 20-county service area, including 86,000 children,” Keith Ferrell, interim CEO at Harvest Hope, said in a news release.

“Hunger does not discriminate, and there are many children, families, and seniors who turn to our food bank for help. The Darden Foundation’s donation will go a long way for the people in our community.”

Working daily to eliminate hunger and provide healthy food for more than 300,000 individuals in its service area, Harvest Hope is South Carolina’s largest food bank and serves about 38,000 people per week. The Darden Foundation also works to support families in need of food across the U.S. The Darden Foundation has partnered with Feeding America for six years and has a network of 200 food banks.

Beginning their partnership in 2017 when King of Pops participated in The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program, King of Pops and The Salvation Army are working to build better futures for local youth.

“We are so thankful for our partnership with King of Pops,” Mike Burdine, executive director of the Boys and Girls Club, said in a news release. The ice-pop company began setting up its pushcart at the Kroc Center with the idea to give back to the Boys and Girls Club. Partnering with Belk, King of Pops also helps provide back-to-school clothes for youth in the clubs.

“King of Pops has always been committed to supporting the community and creating unexpected moments of happiness,” King of Pops general manager Mandy Musgrove said in the release. “And we are so thrilled to provide both through our partnership with the Boys and Girls Club.”

Roland was Valedictorian of the Class of 1945 at Honea Path High School. He graduated from Duke University in 1948 and the Medical College of South Carolina in 1952.

Dr. Knight trained as an Orthopedic Resident at the Texas Medical Center in Houston. His training was interrupted when he was called to active duty in the US Air Force and was stationed at Sheppard Air Force Base, Wichita Falls, Texas from 1954 to 1956. He retired with the rank of Captain. His final year of residency was at Shriner’s Hospital in Greenville with Dr. Frank Stelling and Dr. Leslie Meyer. In 1958, Dr. Knight began the practice of orthopedic surgery and sports medicine.

He was on the staff of Greenville Health System and St. Francis Hospital for more than 50 years and enjoyed his association with outstanding colleagues. He served as the orthopedic consultant to the Clemson University Athletic Department from 1959 until 1989. Throughout his career, he was honored to treat athletes from Furman University, Presbyterian College and many other colleges and high schools throughout the region.

Dr. Knight was an active participant in the training of new orthopedic surgeons with the Greenville Health System.

He was a Past President of the Medical Staff at Greenville Hospital System and a member of numerous professional associations. He was a founding member of the American Academy of Sports Medicine. For more than 20 years, he was an active volunteer physician at the Greenville Free Medical Clinic.

Roland was an elder at First Presbyterian Church Greenville and in later years an active communicant of Christ Church.

He was a member of the Greenville Rotary Club and a Paul Harris Fellow, the St. Andrews Society and the Poinsett Club.

He particularly enjoyed his weekly Bible study with a group of men at Christ Church and his participation in the orthopedic journal club at Greenville Health System.

He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Katherine Graves Knight, two daughters Elizabeth “Libby” Knight Borders (Ford) and Frances Knight Taylor, and two sons Roland M. “Rick” Knight, Jr. (Pam) and Robert A. “Bob” Knight (Barbara) all of Greenville; his eight grandchildren, Blanding Fowler, III (Melissa) and Blair Fowler Young (Donnie), Roland M. “Ro” Knight, III (Landrum), Reeves M.

Cecile Henry Irwin

July 11, 1928 - August 26, 2018 Cecile Henry Irwin, devoted wife of Dr. George L. Irwin, MD, died Sunday, August 26, 2018 at Rolling Green Village in Greenville, SC. She was born in Chester, SC, the daughter of William J. Henry, MD, and Florence McNamara Henry, where she grew up with her beloved sisters and best friends, Betty and Trudy.

Cecile was educated in the Chester, SC, city schools and was a graduate of Chester High School. She attended Erskine College and then transferred to Columbia University in New York where she earned a B.S. in Nursing. Upon graduation, she worked on the private floor at Babies Hospital in NYC for two years. She then took a two and one-half month trip to Europe with three classmates from nursing school which she always remembered fondly.

Upon her return, she worked at the new hospital at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, NC, before marrying a hometown boy, George Irwin, MD. Along with her husband and family, she attended Northgate Baptist Church and then, First Baptist Church, in Greenville, SC, where she was a member of the Seminar Sunday School Class and a faithful member of the church choir. She and George devoted many hours over many years as volunteers at Meals on Wheels of Greenville. She absolutely loved the visits she was able to make with “shut-ins”. She loved arts and crafts and shared her creations with everyone. She also assisted her husband in gathering research for an exhaustive genealogy of the Irwin and Henry families that is a true legacy for her loved ones.

“A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life…many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.”

Proverbs 31:10-12, 29.

Cecile once described herself as “a fulltime MOM, driver, cook, bottle-washer, Sunday School teacher, and community volunteer.” In fact, she was much more than that. She was a devoted wife and a loving mother with an unshakeable faith in Jesus Christ and His Church. She taught the Beginner’s Class (children) at Northgate as well as First Baptist for many years. She would often share a story about a time when a child in her class once referred to her as “Mrs. God”, an appellation that both shocked and amused her…and which she quickly corrected!

“And he took a child and put him in the midst of them, and taking him in his arms, he said to them, ‘Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me.’” Mark 9:36-37.

She is survived by her children, Andrew Irwin (Sheila) and Jane Lynch (Kevin), as well as seven grandchildren: Matthew Irwin (Kristin), Mary Elizabeth Zaldivar (Rafael), Kevin Irwin, Sally Parkinson Barbano, Ned Parkinson, Timothy Irwin, and Molly Irwin, and three great grandchildren: Arthur Zaldivar, Elsbeth Zaldivar, and Charlotte Irwin.

A memorial service will be held Sunday, September 2, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. at First Baptist Church of Greenville with the visitation following.

Memorials may be made to Meals on Wheels, 15 Oregon Street, Greenville, SC 29605, or First Baptist Church of Greenville, 847 Cleveland Street, Greenville, SC 29601.

Thomas McAfee Funeral Home, Downtown.

This Week

Nick Carlson’s home features numerous automated features, including lights that turn off automatically at 11 p.m.

LOCK AND LEAVE Clever automation has downtown home on cruise control Nick Carlson loves selling real estate, but has never been a fan of the tedious task of turning on lights and opening blinds to prep for a showing and then reversing that process all over again.

“I would think, I just wasted 30 minutes of my day doing that. Why can’t it just do itself?” Carlson says.

It turns out those things can do themselves, and in Carlson’s Ben Street abode, now they do.

Carlson, who is co-owner of Wilson Associates Real Estate, has owned the 1930s bungalow at the end of a quiet street off McDaniel Avenue for nearly 15 years.

“We’ve always looked for something else, but have always come back because of location,” Carlson says. “We’ve got Cancer Survivors Park right there, the YMCA is right there, and we’re 10 minutes from town. So we walk everywhere.”

Not willing to let go of this prime location, Carlson and husband Derek Poland turned to local architect Matt Tindall to bring the bungalow up to date.

“It was an old, 1930s house and it just didn’t live the way we live now,” Carlson says.

“It was originally a three-bedroom, one-bath, and we converted it to a one-bedroom, oneand-a-half bath. It suits just our needs.”

The renovation converted unnecessary bedroom space into an enviable master closet and bathroom, added outdoor living space to both the front and back of the house, and tricked out the modernized kitchen with luxury appliances. But the automation hacks are what make Carlson’s heart go pitter-patter.

“We wanted something that was a smart house and we wanted a lock-and-leave situation, as well,” Carlson says. “When we’re gone on trips, the house is on autopilot. All

words by Allison Walsh | photography by Eli Warren

the blinds open and close, the lights turn on and off at certain hours. It’s just a wholly automated house.”

Carlson opted for the Philips Hue lighting system, which can be controlled via smartphone as well as through a voice control device, like Amazon Alexa. This system allows full control over the color and brightness of individual lights, one room, or the entire house. Routines can be set to perform functions at the same time each day, and a geolocation feature that turns lights on when Carlson’s phone connects to the home’s Wi-Fi means they never come home to a dark house. Motion detectors in the laundry room automatically turn the lights on when someone walks in and off a minute after they walk out. The Hunter Douglas PowerView System offers similar control over the blinds.

Carlson has routines set to wake the house in the morning and put it to bed at night

without his having to give it a second thought.

“At 10:30 every night the lights start to dim themselves out, and at 11 they cut off completely,” he says.

The main living area features an energyefficient Haiku fan from Big Ass Fans that works in tandem with the Nest thermostat to keep the home at the desired temperature while running the heating and cooling system less.

Even the grass gets in on the automation act thanks to a Rachio Smart Water System that dials into local weather reports to customize irrigation, and the couple also installed an August Smart Lock that uses Wi-Fi to provide secure keyless entry.

Carlson says this comes in handy for grocery-laden hands and for letting guests and contractors in when he can’t be home.

“You can just open the app and unlock your door from wherever you are,” he says.

SINGING FROM THE HEART Sarah Shook vividly brings moments of heartache to life VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER

vharris@communityjournals.com

If you’ve enjoyed watching artists like Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Lydia Loveless, and Margo Price bring some real-life grit and old-school twang back to country music, then it might be time to check out what Rochester, New York’s Sarah Shook is doing with her band, The Disarmers. On her two albums, 2015’s “Sidelong” and 2018’s “Years,” she blends rock ‘n’ roll guitars with a plain-spoken, Southern-style delivery, sounding like the next step on a path forged by artists like Lucinda Williams and Kim Richey.

As a songwriter, Shook is remarkably skilled at taking moments of heartache or small victories of her own and bringing them to vivid life. On the pedal-steel

spiked “Over You” (from “Years”), Shook proclaims, “I’ve had more than enough/ You can’t tell me that this is love.” Else-

Congratulations!

.

where, on the midtempo, staggering “The Bottle Never Let Me Down,” Shook uncorks a near-classic verse of wounded honky-tonk wisdom: “Every day you tell me I’m a drunkard/ And every night you lie awake and stew/ I never claimed to be anything other, darling/ ‘Cause the bottle never lets me down the way you do.”

“My songs are my moments to exorcise my demons,” Shook says. “I don’t believe in doing things half-assed. I sing from the heart. The subject matter is heavy, so that’s going to come out emotionally. I’m not up onstage to strum a guitar and look pretty; I’m up there to talk about real s---.”

As you might have noticed, much like in her lyrics and music, Shook in conversation is a no-BS kind of person. She has few qualms about telling it like it is. For example, here’s Shook talking about her level of focus on her new release as opposed to her previous album.

“When we made ‘Sidelong,’ I was wasted the entire time,” she says, “and when we made ‘Years,’ I was determined to be sober and be more emotionally present, and I think that comes through.”

Shook says she took solace in the bottle while making her first full-length album because at the time, her band was less than 3 years old and she didn’t feel comfortable with the recording process.

“I didn’t want to put an album out and my band did, and I felt pressure to do it,” she says. “We didn’t have a lot of touring

history and we weren’t really playing a lot of shows, even on the local level. Plus, I felt very wary of the music industry and success on any level, because it compromises you in a way.”

It’s a good thing she managed to move past that reluctance, because “Sidelong” was one of the best-reviewed albums of the year, garnering raves from Paste magazine, No Depression, The Wall Street Journal, and Rolling Stone, among many others. Coming off of that album, Shook felt a different kind of apprehension while making the followup.

“I think when you put something out that’s really well-received, it’s normal to feel the pressure to follow it up with something that’s just as good, if not better,” she says. “You can feel it. And it’s a good thing, because it really motivates you to get your s--- together. And I felt like with ‘Years’ being the sophomore album, it was clear that the band had been playing together longer; we were tighter as a unit.”

“Years” was equally as acclaimed as “Sidelong” and a strong seller, reaching No. 1 on Amazon’s Alt-Country and Americana Bestsellers lists. Shook and The Disarmers have begun playing bigger shows, too. After their performances at both Horizon Records and Radio Room on Friday, they’ll be returning to the Upstate in October as headliners at the Fall for Greenville festival.

As for her suspicion of the music industry, Shook says she’s more comfortable than ever and making the music she wants to make.

“Our music isn’t for everybody, and that’s cool,” she says. “I’m not trying to appeal to some kind of lowest common denominator. If I was going to do that, I’d be making pop music.”

GIMME THE GIG Kami Ocean & the Rhythm win revamped band contest VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER

vharris@communityjournals.com

When he took over as the city of Greenville’s special events coordinator a few years back, one of Josh McGee’s jobs was to create the schedules for the city’s summer concert series, Piedmont Natural Gas Downtown Alive and Greenville Heritage Main Street Fridays. And while he was doing so, McGee also wanted to bring back a tradition from the old Downtown Alive days: a season-ending battle of the bands.

But he wanted to add a twist.

“A version of what I wanted to do existed probably 10 years ago,” McGee says, “but it was more of a straightforward battle of the bands where they would perform in front of judges. When I came on board with the city, I wanted to do a version of the battle of the bands, but I wanted to change it up a little bit. And I thought that the change should involve social media.”

McGee and the city created a contest called Gimme the Gig, a competition that would pit a handful of bands against one another to see who could get the most votes from fans, with the prize being some serious exposure at the final Downtown Alive concert of the year.

“That first year, we put it out there to see if we could drum up some interest from local bands, because the main thing I wanted to do was promote local music,” McGee says. “We were looking for local bands who were up-and-coming and relatively new to the scene who wanted to get their name out there. We had about 10 acts who signed up to compete that first year; we picked eight of those and put surveys out there on the city’s social media for people to vote for, and the first winner was Brooks Dixon.”

But after the first two years of the competition, McGee decided that simply giving the winning band a stage to play on wasn’t enough.

“I wanted the prize to go further than them just having that last slot of the Downtown Alive series,” he says. “I wanted them to have something to walk away from this with.”

So this year, one of the prizes is free recording time at Sit-N-Spin Recording Studios, located near the Warehouse Theatre downtown, plus a Sit-N-Spin-produced

wine tasting

performance video.

And the winner of this year’s contest, after 13 bands entered and 3,000 votes were cast, is Kami Ocean & the Rhythm, a sevenpiece Upstate soul, blues, and jazz band.

The band will perform at Downtown Alive on Thursday evening starting at 5:30.

“We’d heard about the competition, but this was the first time we decided to enter,” says Ocean, the band's lead singer. “I sent in a couple of clips of audio from our shows, and they emailed back and said we were one of the groups chosen.”

After that, it was up to Ocean’s fans, and the band member’s social media savvy, to bring home the prize.

“We put it on all of our social media pages, and I have a group of people I email for our show dates, and then those people share it, and so on,” Ocean says. “It surprised me when we won, because I feel like we’re still kind of new to the scene. I saw some of the other bands that entered, and I felt like they were all really good bands with their own strong followings. For us to have been chosen was really a surprise to me.”

Since Kami Ocean & the Rhythm are

regulars on the cover band/variety circuit, Ocean says they plan to use their studio time to record a demo to give to those booking weddings or corporate events.

And as for McGee, thanks to this year’s entrants, he has a whole new slate of bands to consider for next year’s concert schedules, whether that means Downtown Alive, Main Street Fridays, or Fall for Greenville.

“The model makes it so that I can keep up with the bands that entered and continue to watch them grow, and involve them in one of our series at some point,” he says.

The Warehouse Theatre pays a humorous tribute to science fiction and bad horror films from the mid-20th century through the 1970s with “The Rocky Horror Show,” which opens Friday, Aug. 31.

The production tells the tale of the newly engaged Brad and Janet, who get caught in a dangerous storm and find themselves in the castle of a mad, transvestite scientist, Dr. Frank-N-Furter.

As bizarre as the plot may come across, the show is now considered a cult classic by its devoted audience. To speak to that point, this will be The Warehouse Theatre’s fourth production of the show since 2010. The show boasts outrageous and sexy comedy, absurd scenarios, interactive and messy theater, and a theme of acceptance and self-love.

These are the qualities that director Jenna Tamisiea believes keep audiences coming back year after year.

“I think part of what makes it so special is because it’s a place where the only thing that is weird is normality,” Tamisiea says.

“It’s a really safe place for people who may feel like they are on the fringes of society or even people who may not be part of a marginal community, but a person just in general who feels like they don’t fit in.

This is a show for misfits.”

Tamisiea says the show was originally created by members of an experimental theater group who felt they weren’t fitting in at the time, and that their intentions set the tone for the show in the following years. One of the best aspects of the show, she says, is that audiences have no expectations at the door — they are able to sit and enjoy the show, or yell and scream and take part in the action.

“The message of the show is so important in that it talks about being completely accepting of who you are even if someone calls you a freak or they don’t agree with the way that you live,” Tamisiea says. “It’s such a powerful message in a silly, little show. It says you’re welcome here and you’re accepted here.”

Tamisiea and Kenzie Wynne, who plays one of the four phantoms, hope to push boundaries and break down walls with the audience.

“It’s a call to arms for all of the freakflag-waving people out there,” Wynne says. “It allows people to take a walk on their dark side in a fun way that is silly, goofy, sexy, and ridiculous.”

This show is not for the faint of heart.

It openly discusses subjects that are often considered taboo and stigmatized, such as same-sex relationships, unconventional sex, and women owning their sexuality, which is one of the many ways it tries to break down the walls of the audience.

“There’s a lot of sex and it is so intimate,” says Maddie Tisdel, who plays Magenta.

“It’s such a hard environment to create with strangers, and that’s one of our challenges.”

Tamisiea says the show thrives in the South because it is so rare to find this suggestive content approached in such a fun, outrageous environment.

“This isn’t the Sunday matinee of ‘Steel Magnolias,’” she says. “It is this rebellious little show that says, ‘Oh, you’re uncomfortable with this? Well, I’m going to throw it in your face.’”

Frank L. Humphrey III plays the unconventional transvestite and mad scientist Dr.Frank-N-Furter, and he understands the challenges of putting this kind of content on stage. As a native of the South who now lives in New York, Humphrey feels

this struggle, as well.

“The hardest thing is bringing out that sexuality on stage,” he says. “I am a PK — preacher’s kid — and I was like, ‘Oh my God, my family,’ but I know I need to trust the director because she has trusted me to do her work. We have such a supportive cast, and it’s amazing.”

Audiences are in for a unique staging experience, as well, Tamisiea says. Audiences, she says, will be involved as characters, rather than as guests — even being recruited to become Transylvanians.

“We are inviting them to be with us because it is as much their show as it is ours,” Tisdel says.

Though this show has been done many times in many ways, Tamisiea hopes to recreate it in a fresh way that pulls the audience in with favorite tunes and surprises with new quirks.

“I had a friend who said, ‘I have seen it so many times, I’m just not sure if I need to see it again,’ and I said, ‘Just wait until you see this production — it is going to slap you in the face,’” Humphrey says.

There is nothing to not like, Tamisiea says.

“If you come in with an open heart, then you will enjoy every part of this,” she says.

“You can party, you can weep, you can drink. You are going through the whole emotional range.”

reenville football fans, we lucked out.

After months of the usual construction and permitting delays, Moe’s Original Bar B Que at 109 W. Stone Ave. in the Westone development next to Liability Brewing Co. has opened in time for NFL preseason and the Aug. 30 college football kickoff.

Here are a touchdown and the extra point’s worth of reasons why that’s a great thing.

1

Game-day vibes The Moe’s guys — both the company’s owners and the local franchisees — are big football fans, so they’ve made sure their restaurants are adequately equipped to support their customers’ watching and eating needs. Flat-screen TVs inside will provide the viewing options, while the ample outdoor patio seating with a fire pit makes for a great pregame or postgame ritual. If you’re a Clemson fan, you might have to put up with some good-natured ’Bama ribbing, but chances are you’ll have plenty of opportunity this season to return the favor.

2

Redneck Nachos Look no further for the perfect game-day starter. This dish comprises house-made potato chips, queso, jalapeños, and the Moe’s signature Alabama white sauce, topped with pulled pork or chicken. It’s totally worth accepting the “redneck” moniker to enjoy these. And just wait until you get to the bottom of the chip pile where the queso settles — you’ll need a fork to scoop up the gooey remnants.

3 4 5

All the meat options Pulled pork, ribs, wings, turkey, and chicken smoked over hardwood are daily options and are available eat-in or take-out. Especially nice for tailgating, as at many other local barbecue joints, they’re available in larger quantities by the pound so you can take that savory goodness on the road.

Wednesday specials Now that Wednesday-night college games are occasionally on the schedule, the midweek specials are even more important. Wednesday at Moe’s means beef brisket thin-sliced and 75-cent wings. Brisket is on the menu only one day a week, and it’s available until it sells out.

The bushwhacker What hurricanes are to New Orleans, bushwhackers are to Alabama.

They’re basically boozy, grown-up milkshakes with soft-serve vanilla ice cream, two types of rum, Kahlua, chocolate sauce, and a cherry on top. And with high temps continuing in South Carolina often into November, these frozen treats aren’t just for summertime. Fair warning: Consume more slowly than you want to unless you’re not driving home.

IT’S A SCORE FOR GREENVILLE

Thanksgiving Thursdays Celebrate the best football day of the year every week. If you happen to have migrated south from the land of Wawa gas stations, you already know how clutch a sandwich made of all the best Thanksgiving fixins’ can be. For the rest of you, run, don’t walk, to Moe’s on Thursdays to acquaint yourselves with the beauty that is a bun piled with sliced turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, and in this version, Moe’s white sauce.

Noteworthy sides Lastly, the made-from-scratch sides on a daily rotation aren’t just your random, typical barbecue accompaniments. Many of them are family recipes passed down from grandmothers, moms, and aunts of the founders. The variety is impressive. Boudin balls (a Cajun-style mixture of pork, mirepoix, herbs, and rice deep-fried in ball shape), cakelike cornbread slathered in butter and griddled before serving, refreshing tomato and cucumber salad, and the like round out standards such as mac ’n’ cheese, potato salad, and braised collards. There are dozens more in the lineup, so you can try different dishes each time.

CONCERT

SEP

The summer of 2018 in the Upstate has been a real boon for the platinum-selling rock bands of the 1990s and 2000s. Collective Soul and 3 Doors Down just played a show at the Heritage Park Amphitheater in Simpsonville, as did Evanescence.

Now Puddle of Mudd, whose 2001 major-label debut “Come Clean” went triple-platinum on the strength of hit singles like “Control,” “Blurry,” “Drift & Die,” and “She Hates Me,” will play on The Firmament stage for the first time. In the age of splintering radio formats and streaming, it’s difficult to imagine anyone keeping up the kind of sales momentum that Puddle of Mudd started with, but they’ve remained a popular live band, and this show sweetens the deal for fans of modern guitar rock by including the million-selling nu-metal band Saliva and the post-grunge rockers Tantric, which sold a half-million copies of its self-titled debut album in 2001 thanks to the hit single “Breakdown.” novel that they have written together, “The Glass Ocean.” Each ticket admits one and includes lunch and a book copy, which we will have at the event for you since it releases that day. You will have the choice of an Asian wrap sandwich, Carolina blend salad with grilled chicken, or a Brooklyn Style Deli Sandwich.

LESSONS & TRAINING

Singer, songwriter, guitarist, and Upstate musical fixture Darby Wilcox has spent two years working on her new album, “11:11,” a mix of folk, country, and rock recorded with her band The Peep Show. “It’s so nice to finally have it done,” she says. “It’s like being pregnant for way too long; it’s better out than in, is what I say.” Wilcox spent a long time playing the songs on “11:11” with bassist Sam Kruer as a duo, but she expanded her vision during the recording sessions, bringing in guitarists Nathan Gray, Charles Hedgepath, and Matt Fassas, drummer Troy Jones, and more special guests, all of them from the local music scene. “When I started recording that album, I thought we were going to make it bare-bones,” she says, “but I decided I wanted to highlight the people who helped me along the way. I feel like I’ve strengthened myself with the help of others, and I feel like that’s reflected in my music.” Wilcox has extended that feeling of community to the album release show at Gottrocks, which will feature singer/guitarist Niel Brooks and the indie-rock band Tom Angst. “There’s so much talent in this city,” she says of her fellow Greenville musicians. “We take care of each other and elevate each other, and when people see that, they want to be a part of it.”

Conde has spent years bringing his blend of storytelling, drums, and dance to five continents, and he’s thrilled to bring his knowledge and skill to the Upstate. “I want to show people here what I do all over the world,” Conde says. “In all the rhythms I play, there are stories and there are dances that go with all those stories. I want to keep my culture going because the people, the children, the teachers love it all over the world. We will have acrobats, dancers, and singers; it’s going to be a good experience for the people.”
