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.

GREENVILLE COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE DEPLOYS HIGH-TECH ROBOT TO HELP WITH UNDERWATER SEARCHES Words by Andrew Moore Photos by Will Crooks

oug Beutler never imagined that his love of “Call of Duty” would translate into a career, but now he’s using his knack for video games to investigate underwater crime scenes.

Beutler, a deputy with the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office, is one of six ground-crew members with the agency’s dive team tasked with controlling a new “remotely operated underwater vehicle.”

The $12,000 device, known as a BlueROV2, was recently donated to the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office Dive Team by the ScanSource Charitable Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Greenville-based technology firm ScanSource Inc.

“ScanSource has had an ongoing relationship with the Greenville County Sheriff ’s Office, and we’ve been honored to be involved with several charitable efforts and initiatives with them over the past several years,” said Joel Douglass, sales manager at ScanSource and president of the ScanSource Charitable Foundation.

“The Dive Team plays such a vital role locally, and knowing the impact this underwater robot would have on the team’s capabilities and safety, we wanted to make sure it was fully funded.”

Beutler and several other members of the dive team conducted a training exercise with their robotic team member Tuesday morning at Lake Robinson in Greer.

As Deputy Nate Jordan, one of the team’s eight divers, waded through the water beside the robot, Beutler stood on a nearby fishing pier with an Xbox controller in his hands, peering into a small computer screen and watching a live video feed from the robot’s high-resolution camera.

With a couple of touches on the controller’s joystick and gaming pad, Beutler submerged the robot into the water and demonstrated some of its features, including a claw that can grab onto items.

“We didn’t get a training guide with the robot, so we just put it in the water and played around with it until we figured everything out,” Beutler said. “I played a lot

Lt. Mike Decker, the dive team commander for the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office, said the new robot is designed to supplement the agency’s existing team of divers by helping them locate distressed swimmers, drowned bodies, and evidence that’s been discarded in local waterways.

Once the team has found an underwater object with sonar, it can send the robot to the exact location by inputting a set of GPS coordinates, according to Decker.

The robot can then transmit a live video feed to a topside computer, allowing the team to confirm whether or not it’s the object they’re searching for. If the object is verified, the team’s divers can retrieve it by following a long yellow cable that’s tethered to the robot.

The Greenville County Sheriff’s Office used the robot earlier this year to help officials in Anderson County locate a missing boater at Lake Hartwell, according to Decker.

He said the robot, which is mostly used for possible drownings and evidence recovery, allows the Sheriff’s Office to conduct longer searches in deeper waters.

Lt. Mike Decker, dive team commander for the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office.

“ Our divers don’t have a communications system, but the robot allows us to see them when they’re swimming around.

It’s a big comfort for us to have that capability, because we can send someone down if our divers need help.”

Doug Beutler, a deputy with the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office and member of the dive team.

While the agency’s divers can travel only 80 to 90 feet below the surface for no more than 15 minutes, the battery-powered robot can dive as far as 900 feet for up to four hours, according to Decker.

The Greenville County Sheriff’s Office is one of only two Upstate agencies to use a remotely operated underwater vehicle, according to Decker. The agency’s dive team responds to 15 to 20 incidents a year.

Master Deputy Wes Kilgore, the dive team’s lead instructor, said the robot will ultimately improve safety during some of the team’s riskier operations, including searches in dark-water environments.

While most law enforcement agencies prefer their divers to perform search operations in clear water with unlimited visibility, they often have to jump into brackish, polluted waters, according to Kilgore.

Diving into dark water is not only psychologically unsettling, but it can pose serious health risks to divers, who are not able to prevent contact with hazardous objects while swimming around, he said.

Luckily, though, the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office can now keep its dive team out of the water until the new robot has located its target, according to Kilgore.

“It will do most of the preliminary work before our divers even hit the water,” he said.

Beutler said the use of a remote operating vehicle not only benefits the team’s divers but also helps members of the ground crew respond when an underwater emergency occurs.

“Our divers don’t have a communications system, but the robot allows us to see them when they’re swimming around,” Beutler said. “It’s a big comfort for us to have that capability, because we can send someone down if our divers need help.”

While the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office doesn’t plan to add a second robot to its underwater searches anytime soon, Kilgore said the dive team is looking to eventually purchase locators that can be mounted on divers, allowing them to see where they are in relation to the robot when swimming around.

The dive team also plans to request funds from the Sheriff’s Office to purchase a computer with a graphics card that’s capable of fully supporting the robot’s software, according to Kilgore.

The Greenville County Sheriff’s Office Dive Team has received a remotely operated underwater vehicle for search and rescue operations. The robot is steered with an Xbox controller.

AW, SHUCKS

RECYCLING TIPS FOR OYSTERS The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources offers these tips for recycling oyster shells: • Separate shells from trash. Shells mixed with trash are not suitable for recycling. Provide separate container for shells.

• Keep shells in a porous container to reduce odors.

• Take your shells to the nearest shell recycling center.

• Do not put live oysters in South Carolina waters.

If the oysters you purchased were harvested outside South Carolina, it is illegal to place them in South Carolina waters. Placing imported oysters in South Carolina waters can create public health problems and may harm local oysters or other animals.

• Do not put freshly shucked shells in South Carolina waters. To avoid contamination, shells should be dried for six months.

Local seafood restaurant gives second life to oyster shells ANDREW MOORE | STAFF

amoore@communityjournals.com

Once you shuck ’em, don’t chuck ’em: That’s the new motto at Shuckin’ Shack Oyster Bar in Greenville.

Every week, the seafood restaurant, which is located off Pelham Road, prepares more than 2,000 oysters for customers to chow down on. And until recently, it tossed the empty shells in the trash to be hauled off to the nearest landfill.

These days, however, like a growing number of restaurants, the Shuckin’ Shack is giving those shells — about 140,000 a year — a second chance at life by returning them to the ocean, where they can become the building blocks of restored oyster beds.

Shuckin’ Shack is among the latest to join the oyster shell recycling program organized more than 10 years ago by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources.

The program enlists restaurants throughout South Carolina to donate their empty oyster shells so the agency can turn them into habitat for juvenile oysters.

For Don Marcum, the owner of Greenville’s Shuckin’ Shack Oyster Bar, the program is about giving back to the source of his restaurant’s staple menu item.

“We were tossing our shells in the trash for the longest time, because there wasn’t an easy or cost-effective way to recycle them” Marcum said. “But now we’re saving as many as we can. It’s such a critical step for resident oysters.”

Recycling and replanting oyster shells creates suitable habitat for future generations of oysters, according to Trent Austin, an SCDNR biologist, who oversees the program.

During the summer months, oysters spawn and release free-swimming larvae into the water column. The juvenile oysters float around for two to three weeks but eventually settle on the bottom of the waterway and attach themselves to hard surfaces. If no suitable surfaces exists, the larvae die, according to Austin.

Centuries of oyster cultivation have proven oyster shell to be the preferred material for attachment and subsequent growth of young oysters, according to Austin.

Once the juvenile oysters land, they cement onto the oyster shell and begin to reproduce within a year, completing the life cycle, Austin said.

But shells can be hard to come by in South Carolina as the disappearance of commercial canneries and increasing popularity of backyard roasts and by-the-bushel retail sales have contributed to a critical shortage, he said.

SCDNR makes up for the shortage by purchasing shells from out-of-state processors to supplement stocks for planting, a need that could be eliminated if the state could recycle up to 25 percent of the shells available.

N E W S F LA S H The SCDNR plans to open a dropoff station at the Renewable Water Resources wastewater treatment facility at 561 Mauldin Road by mid-September.

SCDNR has maintained more than 20 oyster shell recycling centers since 2000, collecting tens of thousands of shells every year and planting them along the coast to rebuild the state’s oyster reefs, according to Austin.

Currently, though, the SCDNR is able to capture only about 10 percent of the shells available for recycling within the state, Austin said.

“We provide the drop-off locations, but to complete the cycle we really rely on private citizens to do their part,” he said.

Austin said establishing recycling sites in the Upstate has proved to be a challenge over the years since the program’s staff of four biologists is based in Charleston.

But then members of the Upstate Master Naturalist Association volunteered to collect and transport the shells from Shuckin’ Shack Oyster Bar in Greenville.

Once a week, nine volunteers haul away five shellcrammed containers to the Renewable Water Resources

wastewater treatment facility off Mauldin Road.

After collection, the shells are quarantined for six months to kill bacteria and then planted in South Carolina’s public shellfish grounds, from which anyone holding an up-to-date saltwater recreational fishing license can harvest oysters.

Austin said Marcum and his crew at Shuckin’ Shack are on track to recycle an average of 750 bushels of oyster shells in one year — about 2.5 percent of what the program recycled in 2017. A bushel is equivalent to roughly 100 oysters.

Shuckin’ Shack has already recycled more than 350 bushels of oyster shells since joining the program in mid-February, according to Austin. Every half shell that’s collected by SCDNR creates a new home for about 10 juvenile oysters.

Once planted, the shells not only produce more oysters but also provide habitat for other types of marine life, including fish, shrimp, and crabs, according to Austin. They also act as natural filters to keep waters clean, protect shorelines against erosion, and contribute a sustainable fishery for coastal restaurants and other businesses.

“Oysters are a staple in South Carolina cuisine and culture,” Austin said. “They’re extremely important, regardless of whether you live three hours or three minutes from the coast. An estuary without oysters is an estuary without life.”

The SCDNR is looking for more volunteers to help with the expansion of its oyster shell recycling program throughout the Upstate, Austin said.

For more information on the oyster shell recycling program, or on how to become a volunteer, contact Trent Austin at austinm@dnr.sc.gov or 843-953-1367.

YOUR BEST SHOT

Here’s what you need to know to score ‘Hamilton’ tickets in Greenville CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

So, you want tickets to “Hamilton” during its two-week run in Greenville in December. Here’s what you need to know before the public ticket sale begins at 10 a.m. Saturday.

There are two ways to get tickets: online at https://tickets.peacecenter.org/Hamilton/Online/default.asp or at the Peace Center box office.

No tickets will be sold over the phone.

Tickets are $95 to $200. A limited number of premium seats will be available for select performances for $379.50. A handling fee will apply for online sales. The ticketing system will assign the best-available seats for the preferred day and price level.

There is a limit of four tickets per account for the run of the show. If you’ve purchased tickets from the Peace Center before, whether online, in person, or by phone, you already have an account. The Peace Center is urging account holders to log in before Saturday to make sure you remember your password. If you haven’t purchased tickets from the Peace Center before, the venue recommends creating an account before Saturday. Credit card information can be saved now to simplify ordering.

The Peace Center also urges ticket buyers to identify which performances you’d be able to attend. As tickets become limited (and the run is expected to sell out quickly), you may have to switch quickly to another performance to have a chance to see what arguably will be the hottest theater ticket ever in Greenville.

H If you’re trying online

Go to tickets.peacecenter.org/Hamilton/Online/default.asp. If you are there before 10 a.m., you’ll be in a virtual waiting room

and will be assigned a random place in the queue when the sale begins. There is no benefit to arriving early because the process is random. Those who arrive after 10 a.m. will be added to the end of the queue.

The waiting room browser tab will say Queue It, and the address bar will say audienceview.queue.it.net. You can enter your email address to be notified when it’s your turn to purchase.

Once you start the purchase process, you have 10 minutes to complete the transaction. If you miss your window, you have to go to the end of the queue. The name and address on the credit card must match the name and address on the Peace Center account.

Gift cards, even those from the Peace Center, won’t be accepted.

H If you’re trying in person

The line will begin at 7 a.m. Saturday and no placeholding will be allowed. No list or line formed before 7 a.m. will be honored.

No camping is permitted.

Tickets can be purchased with cash or credit card. The name and address on the credit card must match the name and address on the Peace Center account. Cash purchases require a photo ID with a name that matches the name on the Peace Center account.

Checks and gift cards will not be accepted.

In-person purchases are first-come, first-served and open to those 13 years old and older.

Tickets will be mailed by mid-October. The Peace Center reminds people that it is the only official retailer for “Hamilton” in Greenville. If tickets are purchased from another source, the Peace Center cannot replace lost or stolen tickets, and the ticket may not be legitimate, according to the venue.

The good news for those who aren’t able to get tickets on Saturday is that additional tickets may become available as it gets closer to the engagement. The show will also offer a digital lottery for $10 tickets for every performance.

Installation of permanent McPherson Lane barricade on hold until judge’s ruling CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

The city of Greenville won’t proceed with construction of a permanent barrier on McPherson Lane until after a judge rules on a request by plaintiffs who have sued to get the controversial barricade removed.

Residents of McPherson Lane, Cothran and Warner streets, Camille Avenue, and McDaniel Court voted earlier this year to request, through the city’s traffic-calming program, a permanent barricade that would turn part of McPherson Lane into a one-way street. The change was approved by the Greenville City Council.

But two residents of a nearby street filed a lawsuit alleging the partial closing of McPherson Lane wrongfully interferes with the free and lawful flow of traffic on a city street dedicated to public use and it was for the benefit of a few residents.

A circuit court judge heard arguments on Tuesday concerning the plaintiffs’ request to prevent construction of a permanent barrier while the lawsuit is pending and is expected to rule in the near future, said an email sent by city communications manager Leslie Fletcher to residents of the five streets. The city will wait before proceeding “out of respect for the court process,” the email said.

The lawsuit came after a more-than-yearlong conA barricade on McPherson Lane tentious battle over whethPhoto by Will Crooks er a barricade that turned one block of McPherson into a one-way street would be permanent.

Wade Hampton High teacher’s dedication recognized with National Aerospace Teacher of the Year award ARIEL GILREATH | STAFF

agilreath@communityjournals.com

A robotics coach, a chemist, and a Fulbright Scholar walk into a physics classroom, but it’s not a joke. Beth Leavitt, the 2018 National Aerospace Teacher of the Year, is all three.

Model solar systems hang from her Wade Hampton High School classroom ceiling above a life-size astronaut cutout with a picture of Leavitt on the helmet. Her classroom is filled with scientific escapades, from photos of a trip to Japan as a Fulbright Scholar to newspaper clippings from a workshop where she floated in one of NASA’s zerogravity chambers.

In her free time, Leavitt looks for these opportunities. Nearly 15 years ago, she was one of 200 teacher finalists reviewed for astronaut selection by NASA during a time when the agency was looking to add teachers to its force. Although she wasn’t selected because of her medical history, the selection process spawned a relationship with the agency that led to even more opportunities — for example, she’s been close enough to a shuttle main engine test to get rained on by the engine’s sulfuric cloud.

Teaching physics is just one aspect of Leavitt’s career as a scientist and educator — one she started after spending 12 years as an environmental chemist.

On Aug. 10, she was named the 2018 National Aerospace Teacher of the Year by the Air Force Association, but the impetus of the award stems from a mysterious 2010 application that Leavitt wouldn’t learn about until 2016, when the National Space Club and Foundation told her to submit another application.

“The National Space Club said, ‘Hey, we were going over old finalists from back in 2010 and we saw your application for Aerospace Teacher of the Year, and we would like you to reapply.’ And I was like, ‘I don’t remember applying for that; somebody else must have put my name in,’” Leavitt said.

“And I go, ‘Sure, I’ll reapply.’”

Although Leavitt never found out who nominated her for the award in 2010, she won the 2017 award and attended a gala where she sat by astronaut Buzz Aldrin and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos.

“I’ve never felt so respected and honored as a teacher in my life,” Leavitt said.

About a month after the gala, someone with the Air Force Association contacted Leavitt asking her to apply for the association’s own Aerospace Teacher of the Year award.

Leavitt won the organization’s Beth Leavitt 2017 statewide award but didn’t win the national award — until now.

A statement released by the Air Force Association said Leavitt was chosen because of her “dedication to her students, [science, technology, engineering, and math] programs, and her creativity.”

Leavitt has never sought out the awards and accolades — she spends much of her time at the high school working with her competitive, after-school robotics club, which she started 12 years ago when her son was looking for a club to join.

FIRST Robotics (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) is an organization with thousands of member clubs internationally. Last year, Wade Hampton High’s team advanced to the world championship in Houston, Texas.

Leavitt is constantly looking for sponsors to help fund equipment and trips for the students.

“New sponsors can help us go a long way, most importantly for those low-income students,” Leavitt said. “There’s no funding to give a low-income student from a club for opportunities like that.”

In a week, Leavitt will attend a conference in Washington, D.C., where she’ll talk about receiving the National Aerospace Teacher of the Year award.

For Leavitt, transitioning from a chemist to a teacher 20 years ago was the best decision she’s made. She said the most rewarding aspect of teaching is seeing students get excited about learning.

Often, Leavitt said, she will present students with a difficult problem in the first week of class, before they’ve learned anything about physics.

“There are ways to solve problems that you have zero experience with,” she said.

Stop Enabling and Start Empowering Where mentorship + incentives = Success

Hi, my name is Beth. My kids and I have only been participants in Ripple of One a short time, but we’ve already been so positively impacted that I wanted to share my story.

After 2 decades of an abusive marriage I felt suicidal and hopeless, but God gave me courage to stand up for truth.

Unfortunately, I found myself a single mom of 6, with no job or savings.

My degree was in the fast-changing technological world I had not been a part of for decades. I found some flexible work, but with our expenses we could never get ahead.

After being accepted into Ripple of One things changed. They gave me a mentoring team and helped me identify long term goals. We worked together to create an action plan to bring those goals to fruition – especially financial and career. Although I was good with money, I didn’t have a budget. That discipline was an eye-opening experience! Now Ripple matches my savings up to $235 every month. By intentionally saving the maximum amount I can build a healthy emergency fund. My kids are learning by saving their Ripple incentive money as well. By the time I graduate, I’ll no longer fear unexpected expenses. Ripple also helped me identify a new career goal – I’m earning a Master’s degree in Pastoral Counseling. To help build my resume, Ripple is even going to provide a paid internship in this field. I can’t wait to be able to help others get ‘unstuck’ in their own life circumstances!

The Ripple of One program embodies hope. It’s not a cookie-cutter formula for “success”, but an individualized family plan that can change your life. It isn’t easy — it involves consistency, perseverance, and plain ol’ hard work! But Ripple is behind you every step of the way.

In just the last two years 48 adults and children have moved beyond government assistance through the Ripple of one program. This equates to $184,000 in local taxpayer savings.

If someone you know would like to apply to be in Ripple of One please call 864-882-8777. If you would like more information go to rippleofone.org.

ADVANCED PLACEMENT Fountain Inn High School will be district’s first to focus on manufacturing, technology

These renderings show how the new school will look from various perspectives, according to the architecture firm charged with designing the facility. Renderings provided by Craig Gaulden Davis

Greenville is set to open its first high school dedicated to advanced manufacturing and technology in a community that hasn’t had its own high school since 1956.

Plans for a new Fountain Inn High School have bounced around for years, but now, a firm hired by Greenville County Schools has completed designs of the facility with an opening scheduled for 2021.

The original Fountain Inn High School, which was built in 1939, closed in 1957 upon the completion of Hillcrest High School. For about 40 years, the facility served as Fountain Inn Elementary School until it became what’s known today as the Younts Center for Performing Arts.

High school students on the Greenville County side of Fountain Inn have been attending Hillcrest High, Woodmont High School, and Mauldin High School.

All three high schools have an approximate maximum capacity of 2,000 students, but a district spokesperson said the number doesn’t account for half-day students and students who spend part or most of their time off campus.

At the end of the 2017-18 school year, Mauldin High had 2,349 students, Hillcrest High had 2,097, and Woodmont High had 1,715.

The new school will take some of each school’s enrollment to help with overcrowding relief.

Fountain Inn High, which will be the district’s first completely new high school in nearly 50 years, will focus on advanced manufacturing and technology.

The school will offer a lot of career and technology education classes, but Superintendent Burke Royster said the district will start advertising for a principal in January with the hopes of having one by spring to help with the school’s program planning.

The district presented a draft of the school’s design to the Fountain Inn community in June.

Craig Gaulden Davis, the architecture firm designing the facility, met with board members at a committee meeting on Aug. 14 to go over the blueprints.

The school will consist of two floors in one section of the building, with a large manufacturing workspace near the front.

Charles Gunning, lead project architect for the design, said aesthetically it is similar to Greenville Technical College’s Center for Manufacturing Innovation — both buildings incorporate a sleek metal

framework through much of the exterior and both will feature large windows in the lobby facing the manufacturing space, but the Fountain Inn design also uses red brick throughout to maintain the appearance of a traditional school.

Although it’s not mandatory for students at the new school to take manufacturing classes, the design of the facility leans on the program as its centerpiece.

“We’ve incorporated a large window in the lobby here so you can look down and see into the advanced manufacturing space,” Gunning said. “We want this to be front and center.”

The district has not mapped out the school’s attendance zone, and there hasn’t been a decision made on school colors or mascot.

FAST FACTS • Maximum capacity is 2,000 students, with an initial enrollment of 1,000 students.

• The school will start with ninth grade and add a grade each year.

• Athletics: baseball field, softball field, football field, tennis court, and two practice fields.

• 300 student-parking spots initially, with 300 spaces to be provided in coming years.

• Former agents with FBI, law enforcement, and the Secret Service reviewed designs for the school for safety and security.

Royster said the school’s branding will come after the attendance zone is determined so the community and students can be involved.

“It’s been a number of years since we built a new high school — we built a new building at J.L. Mann, Wade Hampton, Carolina, all of those places. We already knew what the mascot was, we already knew what the colors were,” Royster said.

“We don’t know that yet [with Fountain Inn], and we believe the students need to have an opportunity to weigh in to make those decisions. Until we have an attendance area, we don’t know who those students are.”

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: World-famous equestrian games come to North Carolina MELODY WRIGHT | STAFF

mwright@communityjournals.com

No horsing around: All eyes will be on North Carolina as a major international equestrian championship event opens Sept.

11.

The Federation Equestre Internationale’s World Equestrian Games is a 13-day event, occurring every four years. This year it will take place at Tryon International Equestrian Center in Mill Spring, North Carolina.

Projected to have 500,000 spectators, more than 840 athletes, and more than 830 horses, the 2018 WEG ha s the potential to be the largest sporting event in North Carolina history, according to TIEC officials.

“This is the world’s premier equestrian event, second only to the Olympics,” Sharon Decker, COO of TIEC, said in an official statement. “The Olympics has three equestrian events at the highest level in the world and the FEI WEG have eight. It’s a big deal

for not only North Carolina; it’s a big deal for our country.”

Team USA is excited to participate in the games on their home turf this year.

“It’s awesome to have the WEG return to the U.S.,” Jordan Larson, Team USA Reining Team member, said in an official statement.

“It’s really cool to be able to represent our country here at home. It was awesome to go to France, but there’s even more pressure I think to represent well here, so we’ve got our work cut out to get ready for the next one and be even better.”

Like the Olympics, the location of the equestrian event rotates to different parts of the world. The last WEG occurred in 2014 in Normandy, France, and the last WEG in the United States occurred in 2010 in Kentucky.

For tickets or more information, visit tryon2018.com or call 828-863-1471. Day passes are available for $20. While some allday passes are sold out, attendees can still purchase individual-event tickets.

Proposed ordinance would make brandishing a long gun illegal in Greenville CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Greenville is looking for a way to keep people from having loaded shotguns or rifles downtown.

For years, Greenville used a city ordinance to prohibit the possession of a loaded shotgun or rifle on a public right of way, including the sidewalks of the city’s central business district, said Bob Coler, Greenville assistant city attorney.

That was until state Rep. Josiah Magnuson, who represents District 28 in Spartanburg County, asked the state attorney general’s office whether the ban was legal. In a nonbinding legal opinion, the attorney general’s office said no because state law says no county, municipality, or other political subdivision may enact any ordinance that attempts to regulate the transfer, ownership, possession, carrying, or transportation of firearms, ammunition, or components of firearms.

But state law also says the provision does not affect the authority of counties or municipalities to regulate the careless or negligent discharge or public brandishment of firearms.

Coler told the Greenville City Council’s Committee on Public Safety and Government that brandishment has not been defined by the court so they consulted the dictionary, which defines it as “to wave, wield in a menacing manner.” Councilman Russell Stall said the dictionary he consulted defined brandishing as “wav-

“We want to be as generic as we can,” Coler said. “There’s really no good reason to walk downtown with a long gun.”

The proposed amendment defines brandishment as “to shake, wave, wield, display, expose, show, or exhibit a firearm in a menacing, ostentatious, shameless, or aggressive manner.”

Police Chief Ken Miller said the change doesn’t prevent people from having long guns at a protest.

When asked how many long guns have been brought downtown, Miller said there haven’t been many, but there have been some. He said a pro-Confederate group brought some long guns to a rally about a year ago.

The prohibition does not apply to law enforcement officers or members of the active armed forces, including the Reserve and National Guard.

City Council would have to approve the ordinance.

Work has begun to integrate Cleveland Park Stables property into Cleveland Park’s greater footprint CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

After neighborhood residents successfully fought a rezoning request that would have allowed construction of up to 40 high-end apartments on the Cleveland Park Stables property on Woodland Way six years ago, Greenville resident Jill Cox bought the property and donated it to the city as an extension of Cleveland Park.

Work now is underway to integrate those 2.5 acres into Cleveland Park.

The $500,000 project includes a covered formal entry into the property, a 13-space semi-circular parking lot, an open lawn, a river overlook with education panels, fencing, wildflowers, and azaleas.

The work should be completed by the end of October, said Jeff Waters, urban designer for the city.

After Cox bought the property for $875,000, she was called “the neighborhood’s angel” and Greenville’s version of the Rockefellers, who donated the land where Acadia National Park in Maine and Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming now stand.

Cox’s gift came with the stipulation that no enclosed building could be built on the site.

While that work progresses, the city and its consultant MKSK Studios are working on a master plan for Cleveland Park as a whole.

A Time To Plant: Trees & Shrubs!

by Martin Garden Center

The stables property fronts on Woodland Way. Rendering provided

Cleveland Park is Greenville’s largest park and home of the Greenville Zoo. The Greenville Health System Swamp Rabbit Trail is also a major drawing card.

The park, for which the city has never had a master plan, has problems with parking and traffic, especially on nice weekend days, even those without special events. Parking is one reason the city expanded its trolley system for part of the year.

Tee Coker, a planner with MKSK, said a traffic analysis shows that traffic on Cleveland Park Drive spikes, leading the consultants to believe it is commuter traffic trying to get back out on Laurens Road. But it doesn’t appear motorists use Cleveland Park as a cut-through, Coker said.

Yikes!CALL IKE’S

“Most who turn into the park are staying in Cleveland Park,” he said.

Prior to the start of the master plan, some city officials have talked about pushing parking to the outer edges of the park and closing the roads that traverse its interior, even if just on the weekends, like Central Park in New York. It’s a proposal that some neighbors support but others don’t.

The consultants will next meet with residents of neighborhoods that surround the park and then hold public meetings to solicit input. Those meetings have not been scheduled but are expected in mid- to late-September.

FALL DOOR HANGERS ARE HERE!

It’s September and you know what that means... It’s the perfect time to plant trees and shrubs here in the upstate. There are so many wonderful shrubs to plant right now: hydrangeas, camellias, azaleas, sun evergreens, shade evergreens, deciduous shrubs. And don’t forget about the trees: Japanese maples, crape myrtles and magnolias to mention a few.

It’s easy. Here’s how:

1 2

3 4 5 6

Dig the planting hole: twice the width of the plant root ball but the same depth.

Amend the soil as needed.

Mushroom compost enriches the soil with organic humus. Soil conditioner loosens the soil and allows for drainage. We recommend 2/3 native soil and 1/3 amendment.

Remove the plant from its container and loosen the roots. This will stimulate new growth.

Place the tree or shrub into the hole and backfill with amended soil, keeping the root ball level with surrounding ground.

Water slowly and deeply.

Mulch the area to help retain moisture and reduce weeds.

Now let’s talk watering. New shrubs need to be watered only 2-3 times per week. Not daily! Daily watering is unnecessary and even harmful, causing sopping wet roots.

Now go get that landscape plant you’ve always wanted to plant! Go! Fall Planting = Happy Gardens

If you are watering your newly planted shrubs everyday, you are probably overwatering.

FOSTER CARE

International expert, author headlines Thornwell Foster Care Conference International foster-care expert and author John DeGarmo, who has a doctorate in educational leadership, will be the keynote speaker at the second annual Thornwell Foster Care Conference, slated for 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. Sept. 15 at the First Baptist Church in Simpsonville.

DeGarmo’s keynote address, “Facing Challenges and Reaping Rewards,” will highlight the various challenges that foster parents face, and examine the rewards of being a foster parent. The purpose of the presentation is to reassure, motivate, and inspire foster parents to continue to care for children in need.

“Foster care is in crisis in our nation,” DeGarmo said in a news release. “There is an increase in the number of children being placed into foster care not only in South Carolina, but nationwide, due much in part to the opioid crisis that is strangling our country.”

Currently, there are 1,459 children in foster care in the Upstate and only 616 foster homes, according to the release. More than 500 additional foster homes are needed.

“The critical need for foster homes prompted Thornwell to start a new foster care program last year to recruit, train, and support foster families in Upstate South Carolina,” Thornwell’s president, Elliot Smith, said in the release.

The complete conference pass is $40 and includes breakfast, lunch, snacks, drinks, and full access to DeGarmo’s online training. Tickets for the keynote luncheon only are $20. Registration is available at www.thornwell.org/conference.

Thomas James Harley

January 19, 1945 – August 30, 2018

Thomas James Harley, 73, of Simpsonville, died August 30, 2018 after a short battle with cancer. Born on January 19, 1945 in Ossining, NY, Tom received his bachelor’s degree from Pace University. He spent two years in the United States Army and served in the Vietnam War. Tom’s love for racing and fast cars fueled his career in the automotive industry.

He spent more than two decades working for BF Goodrich, Michelin and Driving Dynamics. During his retirement, he was actively involved in his church and the River Walk Homeowner’s Association.

Tom’s greatest love and his lasting legacy is his family and he will always be remembered as a devoted husband, father, brother and papa. His four grandchildren were the light of his life. Nothing made Tom happier than cooking great meals for his family, spending time with them on his porch, listening to music, sharing laughs, drinking wine

and watching C l e m s o n football.

Tom never met a stranger. He loved people and was always ready to greet you with a smile and a hug. He touched so many lives through his generosity and desire to help others.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 46 years, Anita; his children, T.J. (Nicole) and Amanda Allen (Trey); grandchildren: Maxwell Thomas, Leo James, Harley Rose, and Jackson; and his sister, Frederica Harley. He was predeceased by his parents, Purves and Frederica Harley, and his brother, Purves Harley, Jr. A memorial service was held 11:00 AM Tuesday, September 4, 2018 at Eastminster Presbyterian Church in Simpsonville. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in Tom’s memory to: Eastminster Presbyterian Church; Generations Group Home; The Giving Kitchen; or the charity of one’s choice.

This Week A traditional petite buffet gets a fresh start with customized latex Suburban Paint in a signature Barb Blair color: Esme.

Left: As a buffet, accessories tell the home’s story. A stack of favorite cookbooks adds height and personality while layering plants adds warmth and life.

Above: A place for glassware and drinks encourages guests to serve themselves and is an excellent opportunity to display a well-curated collection.

Right: When styled as a bedroom dresser, juxtapose angular brass accessories with delicate plants like these staghorn ferns and air plants.

Dressed to impress A petite buffet gets made over three ways

by Beth Ables | photography by Jessica Barley Photography What if a single piece of furniture could transform how you see your entire house? What if a bold color or a new placement freed you to see your house as something more than a place to cook and lay your head? What if a simple change led to seeing your house as … a home?

Your home tells a story — your story. From the arrangement of furniture to refrigerator magnets, to the messes and the collections, a house becomes a home when a homeowner’s personality shines through.

“Live with what you love” is Barb Blair’s unwritten code at her furniture studio and shop, Knack. Long a mainstay in the Village of West Greenville and in the creative community at large, Blair continues to surprise and delight her friends and fans with her intuitive, artistic furniture styling. It’s too simple to call what Blair does “furniture refinishing.” The care and personality put into each piece she

touches is tangible: drawers lined with artful paper; drawer pulls meticulously selected to enhance and elevate her work; and, like a grace note, she names her finished pieces as part of collections, the touch of an artist signing a masterpiece.

“I want to embolden people to carefully create spaces they are proud of, spaces of welcome and intention,” Blair says as she looks around her spacious, light-filled studio.

“We are naturally drawn to things we love and enjoy.

Quality, story-filled items will work wherever you place them.”

With that in mind for atHome, Blair transformed a traditional, petite buffet using a bold, saturated color of latex paint mixed specially for her at Suburban Paint. “It’s one of my signature colors. I named it Esme, after the woman who mixed it for me,” she says with a smile.

The bright, bold green may give some reason to hesitate, but “there’s freedom in choosing something fun and

different,” she says. “Using something like this helps you to see your room in a totally new, fresh way.”

And her encouragement rings true. Not only does this piece work in its original role as a sideboard/buffet, but moving it from room to room demonstrates without a doubt just how versatile a piece like this can be: first as an entry table, or in the bedroom as a dresser. As she styled the piece in each room, Blair took other items from around the home to keep things personal and add a fluid, effortless style. “When you create a collected home full of things you love, there is so much to work with!” she says.

This keeps a space from feeling stagnant and dull.

“Seasons of life change, and how we use each space changes as well,” Blair says. “Look at each room in the home and ask yourself, ‘Am I using this room to its full potential? What could I change to make it more in line with the way we live or use this space?’ And then do it!”

Tablescape beyond the tailgate Brilliant fall florals dress up outdoor entertaining

T

ailgating seems to be the preferred method for dining alfresco during the fall, likely because it’s ready-made fun. The people are there, lawn chairs are at the ready, and the color scheme relies only on the home team. Why abandon your outdoor entertaining skills at the parking lot? There are ample alternatives, and none of them requires being relegated to the kitchen.

by Lynn Greenlaw | photos by TJ Getz

Outdoor entertaining does mandate you pick a location.

Consider shady spots for midday gatherings and ambient lighting for after-hours affairs. Once you settle on a spot, don’t forget to add a touch of nature’s beauty to your table. Here, an open-air pavilion styled with the expertise of Frank Ogleetree of The Embassy Flowers & Nature’s Gifts (and a collection of his essentials) creates a perfect outdoor dining scenario. Bright florals and serving-ware complement one another without feeling too formal thanks to a mixture of earthy implements and accents. A neutral linen table cloth on a simple picnic table; a wooden cutting board for displaying servings of sliced artisan bread; and a log house-style pine basket for containing colorful blooms.

Food, friends, flowers: What more could you need?

MATERIALS • Sunflowers • Zinnias • Blue thistle flower • Butterfly milkweed • Native grasses • Pine branches • Queen Anne’s lace

• Crowder peas • Pokeberry • Purple millet • Corn • Eggplant • A variety of peppers

‘A LIFETIME IN THE MAKING’ Furman freshman’s documentary shares story of Civil Air Patrol SARA PEARCE | STAFF

spearce@communityjournals.com

It is no surprise that Matthew Weir has a passion for filmmaking.

With his upbringing in California, family friends involved with making movies, and his father’s presence in the film industry, Weir was destined to find his own place in filmmaking.

Weir, a freshman at Furman University,

has been making films since 2011. His most recent film was chosen as an official selection of the All American High School Film Festival and the organization’s Teen Indie Awards. It will be screened Oct. 6 in a theater in New York’s Times Square.

His film, which he completed for his senior thesis project at Christ Church Episcopal School, combines two of his greatest passions: filmmaking and the Civil Air Patrol.

The Civil Air Patrol is the civilian auxiliary branch of the United States Air Force.

It was chartered by Congress in 1941 just days before Pearl Harbor. Its members have played a significant role in World War II, disaster relief efforts across the United States, and even photographing

the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. Weir has been involved in the Civil Air Patrol since he was 12 years old.

“It was a lifetime in the making,” Weir says about his film, “Civil Air Patrol: Aviation’s Greatest Ally.”

Since his interest in the Civil Air Patrol started at an early age, Weir says it seemed like a great story to tell in his documentary for his senior thesis.

“A lot of people haven’t heard of CAP before,” Weir says. “I thought it would be really cool to share their story.”

In his documentary, Weir interviews the volunteers who make the Civil Air Patrol possible and tells stories of their selfless efforts to serve the United States. Weir interviewed one of CAP’s oldest members, Sarah Lever-

ette, who has been a member since 1943.

“I gravitate towards redeeming stories, not necessarily in terms of faith, but rather storytelling that has an arc — a beginning, middle, and end with hopefully a happy ending,” Weir says.

His story of CAP strives to shed light on the 70 years of service that CAP has quietly dedicated to the United States.

“He is one of the most passionate, motivated students that I’ve ever had the pleasure of teaching,” says Owen Riley, Weir’s documentary film studies teacher and senior thesis mentor at CCES. “He has tremendous skills, but is constantly evolving and changing and learning more and more.”

“He’s really self-directed and he could have made this film without me, but what I brought to him was getting more to the storytelling aspects of it,” Riley says.

“I helped him narrow his focus and encouraged him to track down some of the people he did and hopefully be a mentor more than a teacher, because technically he could probably teach me a lot.”

Weir’s inclusion in the All American High School Film Festival is no small feat, and Weir knows this. He is incredibly proud of his work, and confident going forward. In an effort to hone his craft, he spent the summer after his senior year taking a six-week summer course through University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts. The program works closely with Disney and allows students to work in Disney studios and learn from some of the best in the business. Only 24 students are accepted each year.

Going forward, Weir plans to continue his involvement with the Civil Air Patrol and make more films. His five-year goal is to be making movies full-time. He also wants to contribute to his community.

“When I came to CCES, I started establishing goals in terms of what I wanted to do with filmmaking and how far I wanted to go with it,” he said. “I wanted to contribute to the Greenville community through filmmaking.”

KICKING OFF A ‘SEASON FOR YOU’ Centre Stage brings The Dreamettes to life, sheds light on social injustices MELODY WRIGHT | STAFF

mwright@communityjournals.com

“Dreamgirls” will kick off Centre Stage’s 2018-19 “Season for You.” The Broadway musical production shines the spotlight on three aspiring singers as they experience the ruthless world of show business. The trio called The Dreamettes get spotted by music manager Curtis Taylor Jr. at a talent show and soon begin singing backup for national star Jimmy Early.

Based on real-life acts such as The Supremes, The Shirelles, and James Brown, “Dreamgirls” follows a journey of heartache and renewed strength. Hit songs such as “I Am Changing,” “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going,” and “Dreamgirls” have earned the musical six Tony Awards.

Guest director Paige ManWaring says “Dreamgirls” is a fun musical that will transport audiences to the ’60s and ’70s.

“The story follows three incredible women of color that ascend the pop charts and their place in society,” ManWaring says.

“Their struggles are real, relevant, and that conflict transcends time and space.”

This underdog piece fits today’s social climate, ManWaring says, making it espe-

cially important for Centre Stage to present the social injustice of that time to the Upstate. “It gives the viewer the opportunity to connect and feel the highs and lows of this hard industry with these women,” she says. “You revel in their triumph and cry with them in their failures.”

With 30 songs performed during the two-hour show, “Dreamgirls” is filled with complicated music, choreography, and unique blocking.

Music director Taylor Marlatt says the show has everything you could want from a musical.

“The music is soulful, accessible, memorable, fun, and it will move even the coldest heart,” Marlatt says. “It’s filled with great Motown tunes, incredibly heartwrenching ballads, and stunning large ensemble numbers.”

Marlatt works with the singers not only to teach the music but also to ensure the actors are advancing the storyline throughout the musical in a way that makes sense to the audience.

“When [The Dreamettes] come on for the iconic ‘Dreamgirls’ song, I can’t help but get chill bumps,” she says. “The voices are stunning, the dancing is inspired, the costumes are gorgeous, and you feel like

you’re in the presence of superstars.”

Jessica Eckenrod, who plays Effie White, says this has been one of her most challenging roles. Eckenrod notes several differences between herself and her character; she says even her voice is quite different from the original Broadway Effie’s voice.

“As I continue to do my homework, Effie and I relate in a way that many people do,” Eckenrod says. “Certain personalities are often misunderstood, and we are just working to tell our story.”

Not shown in the Upstate for quite some time due to its difficulty to produce, Centre Stage’s production of “Dreamgirls” showcases local talent in a fun night of singing and dancing.

“I hope [audiences] leave with the expectation to see more productions for African-Americans and people of color where cultures are depicted in a positive light and not rely on some plight of race to propel the storyline,” Eckenrod says.

POETRY TO THE PEOPLE Peace Center announces 2018-2019 Peace Voices poetry program STAFF REPORTS

The Peace Center has announced its 2018-19 Peace Voices poetry program, an opportunity for the community to experience poetry through live performances and readings, classes with visiting artists, workshops, a poetry slam, and book discussions.

With poet-in-residence Glenis Redmond at the helm, attendees are encouraged to tell unique personal stories, have important conversations, and develop written and verbal skills. Peace Voices events are free.

POETIC CONVERSATIONS

Poetic Conversations bring together guest poets to share their work on a common topic and start a poetic dialogue with audiences. Separate master classes give teens and adults opportunities to dig deeper into the nuts and bolts of the poetic process. Poetic Conversations may contain mature language and content.

GENERATIONS: TELLING STORIES Featuring Jeanette Redmond, Glenis Redmond, Amber Sherer, and Celeste Sherer 6:30 p.m. Sept. 11 | Huguenot Mill

When three generations share the stage, a metaphorical quilt of familial and cultural lore is stitched together through poems, stories, and recipes. Glenis Redmond, the Peace Center’s poet-in-residence, is joined by her mother, Jeanette Redmond, and twin daughters, Amber and Celeste Sherer. Inspired by the tools of her foremothers’ trade — a long line of seamstresses — Glenis Redmond stitches together memories of both beauty and struggle, one word at a time.

HABLA: WITH HEART IN MIND

4,000-mile journey and explores borderland politics, race, and immigration on a personal level. This program is in celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month, Sept. 15-Oct. 15. A master class with the poets will be held at 4:30 p.m.

PALMETTO POETS: AS WE BREATHE WE HOPE Featuring Monifa Lemons and Matthew Foley 6:30 p.m. Nov. 29 | Huguenot Mill

Our state motto, Dum spiro spero, means, “While I breathe, I hope.” Monifa Lemons is the co-founder and director of The Watering Hole, a South Carolinabased poetry community dedicated to young poets of color. Matthew Foley is a spoken-word poet on the board of directors of The Unspoken Word, a literary arts nonprofit that programs poetry events in the Charleston area. The poets’ thoughtprovoking work both challenges and celebrates the geographical and emotional terrain of South Carolina. A master class with the poets will be held at 4:30 p.m.

SOUTHERN VOICES: BLACK, WHITE, AND BLUES Featuring Glenis Redmond and Scott Ainslie 6:30 p.m. Jan. 10 | Huguenot Mill

Back by popular demand, Glenis Redmond and Scott Ainslie return to kick off Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday month.

The duo, an African-American traveling poet and a Scottish-American blues singer/historian, explore relevant themes through gospel, blues, and soulful verse with music performed on vintage instruments. Intertwining African roots and American blues with poetry, their performance is an artistic reckoning.

Featuring Elizabeth Acevedo and Javier Zamora

What does it mean to code-switch and to cross borders? The daughter of Dominican immigrants, New York City-based poet Elizabeth Acevedo seamlessly floats between English and Spanish in her poetry. Acevedo is a National Slam Champion and a New York Times best-selling author for her award-winning novel, “The Poet X.” Javier Zamora fled civil war-torn El Salvador alone as a child. His first poetry collection, “Unaccompanied,” details that

Blackman’s debut novel, “Hex,” explores how a woman can use language to rebuild herself. Johnson is the author of two collections of poetry, “A Woman’s Season” and “A Gathering of Mother Tongues.”

Lawson won the 2016 Jasper Magazine Artist of the Year Award in Literary Arts, wrote the book “Before the Night Wakes You” and co-edited “Hand in Hand: Poets Respond to Race.” A master class with the poets will be held at 4:30 p.m.

A POET’S DREAM: PAST & PRESENT Featuring Jacqueline Woodson 6:30 p.m. April 10 | Gunter Theatre

In celebration of National Poetry Month, the Peace Center welcomes Jacqueline Woodson, 2018-'19 National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature. Woodson’s New York Times best-selling memoir, “Brown Girl Dreaming,” won the 2014 National Book Award, the Coretta Scott King Award, a Newbery Honor, and the NAACP Image Award. “Brown Girl Dreaming” reflects on Woodson’s time spent in Greenville’s African-American area of Nicholtown as a child and revisits the clash of the civil rights era from a young person’s perspective. This homecoming will focus on the power of poetry and dreams.

LINEAGE AND PLACE Featuring Alicia Jo Rabins and Kevin Coval 6:30 p.m. May 30 | Huguenot Mill

How do we speak of place? Are lineage and place geographical, cultural, emotional, and spiritual? Alicia Jo Rabins and Kevin Coval are privy to the traditions, rituals, and struggles of being Jewish Americans. Rabins is a writer, musician, composer, performer, and Torah teacher. Her work explores the intersection of ancient wisdom texts with everyday life. Coval is a poet and community builder. As the artistic director of Young Chicago Authors, founder of Louder Than a Bomb, and professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago — where he teaches hip-hop aesthetics — he’s mentored thousands of young writers, artists, and musicians. These poets stem from very different literary traditions, but both have much to contribute about lineage and place and how they write about it. A master class with the poets will be held at 4:30 p.m.

ADULT WORKSHOPS

Adult workshops ask participants to mine their own personal histories as Redmond and local guest poets take them through a variety of styles and all stages of the writing process. Workshops are held at 6:30 p.m. in the Huguenot Mill.

Ashley McBryde’s new album pairs raw, rock-influenced honky-tonk sounds with solid pop songwriting VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER

vharris@communityjournals.com

The first words on singer Ashley McBryde’s new album, “Girl Going Nowhere,” are about as autobiographical as it gets. A woman stands on a concert stage in front of a packed house, playing her own music after years of dreaming about it.

“Where they said I’d never be is exactly where I am,” McBryde sings in an emotional, honey-rich voice while skeletal acoustic and electric guitars sketch out the melody behind her. “I hear the crowd and look around/ And I can’t find one empty chair/ Not bad for a girl goin’ nowhere.”

It’s a striking song that stays surprisingly restrained despite McBryde’s obvious joy, and both the track and the singer have attracted a lot of critical attention. “Girl Going Nowhere” was recently named one of National Public Radio’s “200 Greatest Songs by 21st Century Women,” and McBryde has been called an “Artist You Need to Know” by Rolling Stone, which further described her as “an Arkansas red-clay badass, with the swagger of Hank Jr. and the songwriting of Miranda Lambert."

In other words, 2018 has been a breakout year for McBryde, who’s finally coming to the forefront after years of working behind the scenes. Growing up, she always wanted to be a singer, but she had a pretty strong practical streak; she hedged her bets by becoming a great songwriter, too.

“I loved performing and I wanted to be an artist, but the chances of doing that are so slim,” she says. “And I knew that there was a great world of songwriters in Nashville, and if I could get there, that I could be that for the rest of my life if that’s what I wanted to do. So I was content to play in bars and write songs for radio in Nashville. Or I was trying to be content, anyway.”

McBryde found her fair share of songwriting success, most notably through Eric Church, who co-wrote the song “Bible and a .44” with her. And during her time watching Nashville country artists come and go, she learned a thing or two about what works and what doesn’t.

“What I noticed is that some artists are handed a producer, and they’re handed songs to sing,” she says. “And they wind up coming out with a product that doesn’t

sound genuine to themselves. Even if it does sell or make money, how much better would it have been if it was really genuine and really honest?”

The temptation to score a hit can be overpowering sometimes, though, and McBryde herself succumbed to it on her debut EP, 2016’s “Jalopies & Expensive Guitars.”

“There were a couple of songs on the EP that I was talked into doing,” she says.

“I agreed to cut a couple of songs that I wouldn’t normally cut, as long as I got to cut the songs that I really wanted to cut.

And I ultimately wound up not getting a record deal, not because the audience sniffed it out right away, but the industry did. They looked at the EP and said, ‘That doesn’t make any sense, so we’re not going to mess with it, because we don’t want to have to fix it when it breaks.”

McBryde switched management after the EP sunk without a trace, moving to Q Prime, a firm that has worked with everyone from Metallica to Madonna to Gillian Welch.

“They said I had permission to be 1,000 percent myself,” McBryde says. “All of the decisions were left up to me, and we came out with a product that does feel right,

and does sound right, and that led to a record deal.”

The “Girl Going Nowhere” album is every inch the jeans-wearing, whiskeydrinkin’ McBryde’s vision, pairing a raw, rock-influenced honky-tonk sound with solid pop-songwriting instincts, and it seems to be working. In addition to the critical praise, she’s landed a single on Billboard’s Country Top 40 charts (“A Little Dive Bar in Dahlonega”) and is in the midst of her first-ever headlining tour, which will bring her to the Blind Horse Saloon in Greenville on Friday.

“It’s a neat mixture of being really excited and being just a little bit nervous about having to take the credit or the blame for how well it does,” McBryde says of the tour. “Now that we have the real estate to cover onstage, we need to make sure we cover it.”

Swamp Rabbit Music Fest features six bands, food vendors, more VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER

vharris@communityjournals.com

Like many great friendships in our lives, John Durham doesn’t know exactly when his bond with Wendy Lynam, the proprietor of the Swamp Rabbit Inn, began.

It has to have been at least three years ago, because that’s when Durham, a guitarist for the Upstate psychedelic pop band LOZ and founder of the musical collective Local Green, launched the Swamp Rabbit Music Fest on Lynam’s property on Main Street in Travelers Rest.

Working in collaboration with Lynam, Durham created the first Swamp Rabbit Music Festival in 2015, and the pair fig-

not a great host. But because of Wendy, anything that the Swamp Rabbit Inn puts on is going to have a great vibe.”

This year’s edition of the festival, which kicks off at 4 p.m. Saturday, will feature six acts ranging from acoustic folk (Rush Morgan, Mourning Dove) to funk-rock

“Our arts scene is so deep, and I think we have six really talented bands with accessible sounds that all do their own thing and have an air of universality to them.”

— John Durham

Durham has a long history of booking multiband showcases that put the spotlight on local musicians, and it turns out he’d met a kindred spirit in Lynam.

“We’ve always had a good rapport, and I asked if she minded if we used her spot for a show,” Durham says. “And it turned out that she’d had a similar idea of her own.

Wendy’s from Wisconsin and had been a

ured out that they complemented each other perfectly.

“It’s a great partnership,” Durham says.

“I handle the signing up of the bands and she handles the event grounds and the sponsorship. The grounds themselves are beautiful, and Wendy is a great host.

That’s something that doesn’t come naturally to me; I’m a good facilitator but I’m

(April B. & The Cool) to dream-pop (Chasing Vixen), with LOZ closing out the day. Instead of a 10-band schedule — which is how the festival started — Durham has honed the list to six.

“This is the first year we’ve had volunteers who will be working at the festival,” Durham says, “and the truth is that a longer event would be too much of a slog for them.

I also wanted to give each band a longer set.”

But while the music schedule is pared down, the festival itself is growing, with food vendors on site (Automatic Taco, Resident Dogs, and Mallow Madness), a jewelry maker (TarahBelle Jewelry Designs), and live painting by Grey Thompson. There will even be a luthier on-site — Jim Marley — building and selling handmade, custom acoustic guitars. Marley’s company, Marley Guitar, is one of the event sponsors, along with the local events guide In the Know Upstate.

“There are so many talented people here and I’m lucky enough to have this platform,” Durham says, “and I don’t want to be selfish with that platform. I wanted to cast a wider net. I feel like this year’s festival is a really good cross section of what we’ve got going on in the Upstate.

Our arts scene is so deep, and I think we have six really talented bands with accessible sounds that all do their own thing and have an air of universality to them.”

Durham sees the festival as an outgrowth of what he’s been trying to do with the Local Green collective: trying to create a support group for local musicians so they can sustain themselves and get more people listening.

“Local Green’s goal is to support other people with a similar passion who don’t have an excess of means,” he says. “It’s about trying to connect musicians with people like Wendy — people who have both a business sense and an artistic soul.”

Home Tips Did you know the most common occurrence of electrical shocks is from your outlets? Changing out your normal outlet to a GFCI outlet can help prevent these. A GFCI, or ground-fault circuit interrupter, will ‘sense’ any change in the electrical flow and will instantly shut down the power. They also prevent electrical fires by detecting the ground faults, which occur when the flow of electrical current leaves a circuit.

When used together with electrical breakers, GFCI outlets are one of the best safety devices you can install to protect your family and home.

feast 2018 Indie Craft Parade expands food options thanks to new location WORDS BY ARIEL TURNER | PHOTO BY ANDREW HUANG Resident Dogs will be serving up unique specialty hot dogs at Indie Craft Parade.

(864) 908.3360 W W W. CO R L E Y P R O. CO M

A new, bigger space in the Southern Bleachery development of Taylors Mill means an even bigger party for the Makers Collective Indie Craft Parade’s ninth year, Sept. 14-16.

And it’s not a party without good food.

“Anybody that went to the festival the first year, they’ll remember we had more food,” says Indie Craft Parade co-founder Lib Ramos. “Our popularity grew, and the art pushed the food out of the way.

We’re super excited to add back the food component.”

In recent years, the festival had space inside the Huguenot Loft in downtown Greenville for only two food vendors, but now with the newly redeveloped building in Taylors at 232 Mill St. designed for their needs, including a full commercial kitchen and expansive outdoor space, it will have eight local vendors offering a variety of options.

“The food will be outside in front of the venue, like a mini food festival,” Ramos says. “We want people to enjoy their time at the festival.”

Ramos says that because no restaurants are within walking distance until The Farehouse opens in Taylors Mill, they’re hoping having food options on site will allow guests to stay and enjoy the festival for longer than they’ve been able to in the past.

Those vendors for Saturday and Sunday are Southern Pressed Juicery, Bossy Baker, Methodical Coffee, Vita Nova Coffee and Tea House, Golden Brown & Deli-

cious, The Nomadik Few, Resident Dogs, and Meat and Tree.

“Some of them, like Methodical, Southern Pressed Juicery, and GB&D, have been longtime partners,” says co-founder Jen Moreau, who is organizing the food vendors. “Others, like Bossy Baker and Nomadik Few, have been friends for a while, but we just haven’t had room to include them. Finally, we needed to round out the offerings, so we brought in Meat and Tree, Vita Nova, and Resident Dogs because we felt they had really good offerings for our attendees.”

Additionally, on Friday night, for the ticketed opening party called the First Dibs Party, Bacon Bros. Public House will serve up a special menu of small bites alongside Taylors Mill neighbor 13 Stripes Brewery’s limited-edition beer brewed specifically for Indie Craft Parade.

“We picked partners who trust us to be able to know we’re going to pull this off,” Ramos says, alluding to the challenge of moving the festival to a new venue in a lesser-known area of town.

All of these food and beverage vendors, in keeping with the spirit of the Makers festival, are local entrepreneurs.

“We’re really excited that these are food vendors from across the Greenville area, all with unique stories and goals for the food scene in Greenville,” Moreau says.

Meat and Tree has already planned its menu, and the others have provided an idea of what they will be offering.

MEAT AND TREE Smoked pulled-pork sandwich with marinated coleslaw and choice of scratch-made sauce; smoked chicken sandwich with marinated coleslaw and ’Bama white barbecue sauce; barbecue bowl with pulled pork, cheesy new potatoes, barbecue baked beans and choice of scratch-made sauce; and homemade banana pudding.

BOSSY BAKER Savory galettes, pies, and pastries, with some gluten-free and vegan options.

METHODICAL COFFEE Hot and cold espresso drinks.

VITA NOVA COFFEE AND TEA HOUSE Teas, specialty lemonades, and Italian sodas.

GOLDEN BROWN & DELICIOUS The GB&D burger, various sandwiches, and donuts.

THE NOMADIK FEW Assorted flavors of shaved ice.

SOUTHERN PRESSED JUICERY Assorted bottled juices.

RESIDENT DOGS Variety of specialty hot dogs.

But back to the fun part: The evening will include wine sampling of more than 50 wines and restaurant vendors, including Bacon Bros. Public House, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Commerce Club, The Sweetery, The Melting Pot, Southside Smokehouse & Grille, Couture Cakes of Greenville, Chuy’s, and Chef360 Catering. This year a new VIP area will include exclusive wines and Blockhouse Restaurant and Oyster Bar. All VIP guests are automatically entered into a raffle to win a wheelbarrow of wine! Tickets are $50 for general admission, $75 for VIP, and $20 for designated drivers. Visit greenvillezoofoundation.org to purchase.

More wine And who’s mad about that? Not me. Soby’s is hosting a wine dinner Sept. 18 with Ramey Wine Cellars out of Healdsburg, California. The menu includes five savory courses paired with a companion Ramey wine and ends with a dessert from Soby’s pastry chef. George Stai-

kos, from Ramey Wine Cellars, will be host for the evening. The dinner is scheduled to take place in the Loft at Soby’s, but may move to the Soby’s Mezzanine if it outgrows the Loft space. The event begins at 6:30 p.m.; the cost is $90 (plus tax and gratuity) per person. Snag tickets at sobys.com.

And even more wine Foxcroft Wine Co., the wine bar from Charlotte, North Carolina, that’s been under construction at 631 S. Main St. in the former Brazwells space for several months, is opening Sept. 21. That happens to be smack in the middle of Euphoria weekend, in case you need a time reference, so if you can’t make the annual food and wine festival events that night, you can try for the Foxcroft opening and give the staff a warm Greenville welcome. Foxcroft serves small plates paired with its wine offerings and also has an extensive retail bottle selection. I’m looking forward to this addition to our growing number of restaurant options farther south on Main Street.

New mystery menu Executive chef Nick Graves at Restaurant 17 inside Hotel Domestique has been working on a total revamp of both the bar and main dinner menu for weeks. He’s also keeping it under wraps until it’s just right. That should be soon. I’ve seen a version of the bar menu, and it will definitely be worth driving a few miles outside of Greenville. Speaking of which, the most common complaint about Restaurant 17 is the location beyond Travelers Rest proper — Greenville residents like to stay within their specific 5- to 10mile radius. I get that. But, according to Graves and his pastry chef partner Meghan Neal, you all showed up big time for Restaurant Week and proved that you’ll drive for really excellent food. Good on ya. Let’s keep it up and support one of the hidden gems of Greenville’s vibrant food scene.

CONCERT

Eric Bachmann, the mastermind behind popular indie-rockers Archers of Loaf and the more experimental, atmospheric project Crooked Fingers, has never played in Greenville before, to the best of his recollection. That’s somewhat surprising to him, given his history with the Upstate. “I actually grew up there,” he says. “I lived in Mauldin and Simpsonville as a kid, and I never really went back even though I passed through it a million times. So I kind of have a connection to the Upstate.” Bachmann will be making his only stop in the area at Horizon Records on Friday to play songs from his new album, “No Recover,” which combines his intricate playing on classical acoustic guitar with subtle — and largely electronic — percussion, over which he explores lyrical themes of anxiety and fear brought on by his recently becoming a parent. “I feel like they shouldn’t work together,” Bachmann says of the acoustic guitar-and-electronics combo, “so the challenge is in making them do so.”

Golden Grove Farm & Brew | 115 Krim Road, Piedmont | 7:30 p.m. | Free

Judson McKinney has spent the past few years making rootsy, enjoyable folk-rock albums and playing more intimate solo acoustic shows, neither of which is any true indication of his next step. McKinney is currently finishing up a sweeping two-album set called “Confederate’s Last Farewell.” The record will cover both McKinney’s personal history and that of South Carolina itself, and it will feature an ensemble so big that McKinney says he’s toying with the idea of crediting the release to The Judson McKinney Orchestra. The ambitious project began after McKinney returned to the South after years of living in Europe, California, and Texas. “I grew up in South Carolina and had always really valued its history,” he says. “But I’d been so far away that coming back here, I feel like I really got to know the place I grew up in for the first time.

Sometimes when we come back to what we knew and revisit it, we truly understand it for the first time.” McKinney will perform versions of the material from “Confederate’s Last Farewell,” which he hopes to release next year, at his solo acoustic show at Golden Grove. He says his songs have been received well. “I recently did a show at The Troubadour in LA, and I played songs from it, and it went great,” he says. “People really responded to it.”

AROUND TOWN Philip H. Anselmo & The Illegals SEPT. 12 The Firmament | 5 Market Point Drive | 7 p.m. | $20-$25

CONCERT

With the tragic shooting death of guitarist Dimebag Darrell in 2004 and the unexpected passing of drummer Vinnie Paul earlier this year, singer Philip Anselmo has become one of the last remaining links to the merciless grunge-metal pioneers Pantera. And he’s still got the molten gravel demonic growl that powered popular songs like “Walk,” “Rise,” and “Mouth for War” during the 1990s. Since Pantera’s acrimonious dissolution in the early 2000s, Anselmo has served as the frontman for several different projects, including Superjoint Ritual (a collaboration with Hank Williams III), Viking Crown, and Southern Isolation. What he hasn’t done is release a lot of work under his own name, an issue Anselmo recently remedied with “Choosing Mental Illness as a Virtue,” an album credited to Anselmo and his band, The Illegals. The basic sound will bring back fond memories for fans of Pantera; the guitars still bludgeon and Anselmo’s voice still rages. But the tempo and unpredictability of the thrash-style rhythms is a brutal, and effective, surprise.

IN WITH THE NEW

Seeing birds with missing feathers, dull scruffy feathers?

• Birds are molting into a new coat of winter feathers to stay warm, • Feathers are more than 90% protein, so molting birds need extra proteins to grow strong feathers for flight and effective insulation.

• High-protein foods such as Nyjer ®, peanuts and tree nuts, Bark Butter ®, Bark Butter Bits® and blends with nuts give birds a reliable protein source to help them regrow new feathers.
