Seeing Red about Green

Food is an overlooked public policy issue — it’s time for that to change IN MY OWN WORDS

By Will Morin

This election cycle has been draining. Friends, Facebook and otherwise, have been at odds about the Top 2 candidates for months. Now the attention is being turned to the down-ballot races. These candidates are the ones who are running for open or incumbent positions at the federal and state level: United States Senate, U.S. House of Representatives and South Carolina State House and Senate, as well as seats at the local level. County, city and school board officials — these are the people who impact our lives the most.

Like many, I absorb as much information as I can about who is running for an elected office. In the words of Thomas Jefferson, "An educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people."

It is important for us to question our elected leaders, ask questions of those who seek to replace them and find out where they stand on the various issues that most affect our lives: infrastructure, housing, schools, public safety, etc.

In this column, I’m not writing about any of those

things. Instead, I want to talk about a serious issue that presents itself in our lives each and every day yet, unfortunately, hasn’t risen to a level that some deem worthy of a political discussion: food.

Make no mistake, food — how it is grown, where it is grown, who has access to it, who has too little — is a policy issue.

The Carolinas just suffered a catastrophic hit by Hurricane Matthew, which flooded thousands of homes, shutting down interstates and burying farms. Last year it was the rains that flooded the midlands of South Carolina and devastated farms there. What will the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew be for the food producers in North and South Carolina? Only time will tell.

I pride myself that I am experienced and knowledgeable enough about home-farming techniques that I can grow a nice crop for myself and neighbors each summer. While I do not hold advanced degrees in agriculture nor political policy to answer these questions today, we have a plethora of experts in our state and country that can.

As an informed and concerned citizen, I am yearning

Drawn Out Loud

by Kate Salley Palmer

for our elected leaders to form a coherent public policy about the looming food crisis locally here in Greenville, our state, our nation and our planet.

While the world population grows at an increasingly faster rate — the U.N. estimates we will add another billion people by 2030 — we need to devise a plan to feed ourselves today and tomorrow. In 2014, the U.S. Census Bureau predicted that our own population will go from 314 million in 2014 to more than 400 million by 2060. We are at a tipping point today; I cannot imagine what it will be like in 40 years.

Consider California: This is a state that grows half of all the fruits, nuts and vegetables grown and consumed in the United States. Multi-yearlong droughts have burdened farmers in California and have increased our prices at the supermarket and favorite restaurants.

Hurricane Matthew flooded our coastline but still leaves the Upstate in a drought. Prices are going up — it’s a fact. This is also sending more and more people to the local food pantry and forcing our low-income neighbors to eat unhealthy canned food from cheap dollar stores. This is not sustainable. Our country, our state, our town needs a plan.

It was recently reported that Mayor Knox White and Greenville City Council will spend millions on a beautiful park in a blighted area along the Reedy River and preserve vital green space. Unfortunately, this plan will also mean that a local farm will be vacating its current spot in the proposed park area. The farm’s operator was aware of this when they began operation three years ago — and they’ve already made plans to move to the Village of West Greenville — but why can’t the only major producer of fresh produce within Greenville city limits coexist with the park? And if not them, then another farm.

Food is a major four-letter word. It needs to be dealt with before the crisis becomes worse.

Please reach out to our elected officials in Congress, Columbia and right here in Greenville and ask them, what is your policy on food?

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

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

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

ADVERTORIAL

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

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

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

New Technology for Cataract Patients Cataracts are a common eye condition where the natural lens becomes clouded, impairing a patient’s vision. According to the National Eye Institute, more than 20 percent of Americans will have cataracts by the age of 65, and the prevalence increases with age. In cataract surgery, the clouded natural lens is removed and replaced with an IOL. For many patients, cataract surgery freed them from prescription glasses, but sometimes replaced them with readers. A new intraocular lens (IOL) that provides a full range of vision for cataract patients, even those with astigmatism, is now an option for many patients.

Clemson Eye surgeon Dr. Brian Johnson calls The Symfony lens a “game changer.” In September, Dr. Johnson became one of the first surgeons in Greenville to implant the new lens, which was just approved by the FDA in July for use in the U.S.

Until the Symfony, cataract patients with significant astigmatism were limited to monofocal lens implants that would correct either distance or near vision, but not both. Symfony is the first extended depth of focus lens with astigmatism correction.

This allows excellent night vision and sharpness of vision (visual acuity) at near, intermediate and far distances.

New technology innovations, like the Symfony, continue to improve the IOLs and the visual outcomes for patients with a variety of conditions. The two most significant improvements are vastly improved intermediate vision and an extended range of vision acuity for patients with astigmatism.

The Symfony has been in use in 49 countries for several years, but the FDA approval came after a randomized clinical trial of 148 patients. In that trial, 77 percent of Symfony patients had 20/25 vision at intermediate distances, compared with 34 percent who had a traditional mono-focal lens. Near vision for reading was improved and patients were able to read two levels of smaller lines than their mono-focal counterparts.

“Patients who have received these have been very excited and pleased with how their lifestyles have improved,” Dr. Johnson notes. “These lenses are ideal for patients who have an active lifestyle. They meet the needs of our patients who like to golf, use a computer or tablet, shop, use a smartphone, and drive at night.”

13th Circuit Solicitor trying new approach to minor drug cases CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

GREENVILLE COUNTY DRUG CRIMES

clandrum@communityjournals.com

SM

www.1073jamz.com

A portion of the 2016 Belk Fall for Greenville proceeds will benefit 12 local nonprofit organizations.

One-third of all cases on the 13th Circuit docket are drug cases, and a large chunk of them are minor possession charges. Thirteenth Circuit Solicitor Walt Wilkins is changing the way his office handles those cases, which he said most often do not result in jail sentences.

Through New Start, a pilot program Wilkins started four months ago, defendants charged with simple drug possession and some possession with intent to distribute charges are offered the chance to enroll in a 12-week outpatient drug rehabilitation program. If they successfully complete the program, the charge is dismissed.

“People can accuse me of being weak on drugs, but I’d argue I’m being tough on drugs because it is forcing them to alter their behavior,” Wilkins said. “I don’t know if [the program] will be a success or not. But I know that we have to get to the root of the problem.”

Wilkins said his office sees between 500 and 700 defendants each year with minor possession charges who he says are drug addicts.

Some charged with possession with intent to distribute are caught with less than 8 grams of cocaine or methamphetamines, an amount the solicitor said is “enough for a couple of people to get high for a day or two.” When those cases get to the courtroom, they typically result in sentences that do not result in incarceration, he said. “Drugs are more powerful than the threat of jail,” Wilkins said.

Greenville defense attorney Sloan Ellis, who is also a former prosecutor, said he has seen a lot of people plead guilty to simple possession charges “just to get it over with and put it be-

er employers may not conduct a background check, most will conduct a Greenville County court record search online.

“Like it or not, it creates an impression on the employer’s side,” Ellis said.

The New Start program takes advantage of Greenville County nonprofits that offer drug rehabilitation, the Phoenix Center and FAVOR, or Faces and Voices of Recovery. “A lot of [the defendants] don’t have the resources to get help,” Wilkins said. “This program gives them a way.”

Those who do not enter the program or fail

to complete it will be prosecuted, Wilkins said.

“We’re asking for weekend jail time,” he said.

The new program differs from Greenville County Drug Court. Although Drug Court targets nonviolent offenders whose crimes are the results of their drug addiction, participants in that program plead guilty and are sentenced to 10 years or more in prison. That sentence is suspended, and if the defendant completes Drug Court successfully, the sentence is satisfied. If they don’t, they must complete their sentence in prison.

“Ideally, we’d have 300 people in Drug Court,” Wilkins said. “But it’s an expensive program.”

Wilkins said Drug Court costs about $250,000 per year. Only 40 people can go through the program at a time, he said. Drug Court is a program that includes a year of weekly outpatient counseling, 18 months of case management, random drug testing and frequent court sessions to monitor progress and provide accountability. Drug Court has a less than 15 percent recidivism rate.

New Start is designed to get defendants into

rehab. “If, after three years, we have 100 fewer drug addicts, that’s 100 fewer people who might break into your car looking for things they can steal to finance their drug addiction. The cost of continuing the addiction cycle is high for society and the community.”

Wilkins said his office would continue to aggressively prosecute big drug cases. “If you set up dope houses, we’re going after you. “ Thirty-four defendants have been referred to the program since June. Nineteen have completed it or are currently in the program.

The Internet of Things is coming to Greenville — just not yet

Greenville City Manager John Castile says the city’s Internet of Things agreement paves the way for future technological advances.

RUDOLPH BELL | CONTRIBUTOR

dbell@communityjournals.com

The city of Greenville has reached an agreement with 20 other cities regarding the Internet of Things.

The Internet of Things is a new buzz term that refers to the idea of equipping everyday objects with sensors and WiFi connectivity so they can collect, send and receive data, thus “talking” to each other and to people. The objects that can be interconnected this way go far beyond computers and cellphones to include vehicles, buildings, factory machinery, jet engines, virtually anything.

In the context of cities, the Internet of Things is seen as a way to create new efficiencies and make smarter decisions.

For example, a city computer system might pick up data emitted by street lights to monitor citywide traffic in real time. The computer system could then orchestrate the timing of traffic lights during rush hour to maximize throughput and cut congestion. City officials could store and analyze the traffic data, looking for revelatory patterns that could help them make better decisions in the areas of planning and transportation infrastructure.

The brave new world that’s being created by these technologies, however, is bringing with it new issues of privacy, intellectual property and security. As a way to begin addressing those issues, the city of New York invited other cities,

including Greenville, to sign off on a set of broad principles governing their use of the Internet of Things.

The principles are designed to “ensure the responsible and equitable deployment of smart city technologies,” according to a press release from the New York Mayor’s Office of Technology and Innovation, which led the effort. That office, with help from International Data Corp., gathered more than 450 best practices from cities around the world to create a set of guidelines upon which the principles are based.

The principles call for the cities to be “open and transparent” regarding any data they collect, according to a statement signed by Greenville City Manager John Castile.

Greenville and the other cities have also pledged to ensure that real-time data is used “in ways that maximize public benefit” and to dispose of devices, networks and infrastructure “in an efficient, responsible and secure manner.”

At this point, Castile said, Greenville is not collecting data, or planning to collect any, for an Internet of Things application. He said the city agreed to the principles as a way of being prepared for technological changes that are on the horizon.

“I don’t think anyone knows how quickly some of these things get to the market, but I think there’s consensus that change is going to occur,” Castile said.

It’s not the first time local officials have delved into the

Internet of Things and so-called smart cities.

Earlier this year, the Greenville Transit Authority proposed creating special demonstration zones for Internet of Things technology as part of an unsuccessful application for a U.S. Department of Transportation grant.

The grant application spelled out a plan to ban conventional cars from Main Street, allowing only pedestrians, bicycles and self-driving, low-speed electric vehicles.

Along Woodruff Road, the grant writers proposed a “smart shopping area” with automated vehicles transporting merchandise from the Greenridge shopping center to parking garages, where they would be picked up by the buying consumers.

Another part of the “Greenville Smart City Vision” involved testing automated parking shuttles on the test track at the South Carolina Technology and Aviation Center in advance of deploying them to Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport and Clemson University.

In the end, USDOT picked Columbus, Ohio, over 77 other applicants as the winner of its Smart City Challenge.

As a result, Columbus received $40 million from the agency and another $10 million from an entity tied to Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, according to a USDOT press release.

The Ohio city proposed using the money, in part, to operate three self-driving, battery-powered shuttles between a retail district and a bus rapid transit center.

Bat Talk Microbiologist speaks about fatal threat to bats as part of conservation series ANDREW MOORE | STAFF

Sure, bats can seem like vicious monsters swooping just overhead at night. But in reality, they are more of a blessing than a curse.

With bats around, there are fewer insects spreading diseases, raiding vegetable gardens and sucking blood.

But the nocturnal creatures are in danger.

That was the message from Dr. Chris Cornelison of Atlanta’s Georgia State University on Wednesday night. The microbiologist gave a free presentation about white-nose syndrome and his efforts to stop the deadly disease at the Children’s Museum of the Upstate in downtown Greenville.

“White-nose syndrome is the most devastating wildlife disease in modern history.

The rapid spread and unprecedented mortality rates are hypothesized to result in species extinctions within our lifetime,” Cornelison said.

White-nose syndrome has caused more than 5.7 million bats to die across eastern North America since 2005. And for the past six years, Cornelison and a team of researchers have battled the fungal disease, even concocting the first treatment last year.

The presentation could be the first of many

coming to downtown. The Greenville Zoo and Furman University have officially partnered to hold a series of free lectures that highlight various global conservation efforts.

“The goal is to help the public learn and understand the importance of being responsible stewards of the planet,” said Nikolay Kapustin, deputy zoo administrator and veterinarian for the Greenville Zoo. “It doesn’t matter if you’re a Furman student or businessperson from downtown. We just want everyone to come out to the lectures.”

The conservation lecture series is funded through the Greenville Zoo Conservation Fund, Furman University’s biology department and the student-led Environmental Action Group.

The idea for the series began in 2013 with Furman biology professor John Quinn, who wanted students to hear about conservation efforts. Since then, the Greenville Zoo has helped bring researchers to the campus for conservation presentations. But Kapustin and Quinn decided to relocate the lecture series to downtown this year.

“The lectures were held exclusively at Furman University before. So our goal is to draw a broader audience from the surrounding area with this being downtown. The location of the lecture series will probably vary between a downtown venue and Furman in the future. But that depends on how well this one turns out,” Kapustin said.

There will be three or four more lectures through the spring, according to Kapustin, who is currently recruiting researchers to present their conservation efforts. He added that a potential presentation in November

could address Madagascar wildlife, which is currently threatened by deforestation and the illegal wildlife trade.

Other presentations could include various research topics, including anteaters and giant armadillos. A final schedule should be released sometime this fall.

Kapustin, who joined the Greenville Zoo in January, chose Cornelison for the series after hearing his presentation at the American Association of Zoo Veterinarians conference in Georgia earlier this year.

“Bats are an important part of an ecosystem and contribute to decreasing populations of nuisance or pest insects such as mosquitoes,” said Kapustin. “A decrease negatively impacts the environment as those insects increase in number and contribute to the incidence of certain diseases, such as viral encephalitis.”

He also selected Cornelison because the presentation complements the Greenville Zoo’s Halloween-themed “Boo in the Zoo” event, which raises funds for its conservation efforts. That event starts on Friday, Oct. 21, at 5:30 p.m.

The lecture series could create additional educational opportunities. “We might just have researchers independent of this joint venture come through and hold free lectures at the zoo,” said Kapustin. “But it all depends on how this turns out.”

Roadie app offers peer-to-peer shipping in Greenville ANDREW MOORE | STAFF

amoore@communityjournals.com

Greenville residents can now access the Roadie app, a free mobile application that allows people to ship items to a destination via drivers who happen to be heading toward that location.

“People are heading everywhere and chances are some of them are heading where your stuff needs to go. Whether it’s car keys, cupcakes or a couch,” said Roadie CEO and founder Marc Gorlin, who created the created the app last year to provide a shipping option for items too costly or large for the U.S. Postal Service or UPS. Roadie operates through a network of users known as drivers and senders. Drivers must first post their location, availability and vehicle. Then the app verifies license and insurance information before approving them for service.

Senders must post an item or pet they need delivered to a specified location. They are then contacted by the driver, who picks up that item or pet and delivers it to the destination for a fee, which is based on distance and other factors.

Last year, the company Roadie Inc. announced a national rollout of the app and it became available to residents in select cities across the country. The app has garnered 280,000 downloads and about 20,000 drivers nationwide so far. There are about 1,000 users already in South Carolina, according to Gorlin.

With the continued growth of Greenville, Gorlin saw the perfect opportunity for his app.

“As our Southeastern corridor continues to grow organically, it only makes sense to focus more attention on Greenville, which is a

critical hub that allows us to move things cost-efficiently,” said Gorlin.

“Add to that the growing automotive industry and all the logistics happening between the suppliers all across the Upstate.”

“Greenville is just a natural fit for us,” he added.

HOW DO I USE THE APP AND WHAT DO I GET OUT OF IT? People wanting to ship an item must input its distinguishing characteristics, including size. For pets, senders must include the breed, weight and more. Senders must also upload their picture and include trip details, including the destination.

Once a shipment (also called a gig) is created, the app notifies drivers in the area.

Roadie matches senders and drivers by details (destination, preferred delivery time and the size of the item) provided in the gig creation phase.

Senders will then have to choose a driver, who bids for the job. The pricing depends on traditional shipping costs such as the length of the trip, delivery time and logistical characteristics of the gig.

Because the app ships any item that can fit in a car, the cost varies. Shipments can cost between $8 and $50, according to Roadie Inc. But oversized items such as furniture or equipment can cost up $650.

Pets can cost even more than that.

The sender is responsible for all protective packaging.

Shipments are insured up to $500 so that senders don’t have to worry about drivers riding off into the sunset with their possessions or pet. Senders can also purchase ad-

Becoming a driver has its benefits too.

Drivers get 80 percent of delivery fees and can claim a tax write-off of 57.5 cents per mile while delivering. Also, Roadie provides free roadside assistance for drivers when they’re delivering items.

Other benefits include free waffles and coffee.

Waffle House decided to partner with the app earlier this year and label more than 1,750 restaurants in 25 states as “Roadhouses,” which are official meeting locations for drivers and senders. Drivers

“Waffle House provides a friendly, comfortable place for our folks to meet, and grab a plate of scattered, smothered and covered while they’re at it.”

Just peachy

Clemson just got $1M to grow organic peaches, and it could benefit farmers ANDREW MOORE | STAFF

amoore@communityjournals.com

Most people would quit their jobs, buy a yacht and move to the Caribbean if they were awarded $1 million. Clemson University researchers Juan Carlos Melgar and Guido Schnabel plan to do just the opposite. They plan to grow more organic peaches.

The duo has been awarded $999,700 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture to further develop a production method that could lead to more organic peaches in the Southeast, where humidity usually causes high levels of pests and diseases. The grant will be dispersed over the next four years.

Last year, Melgar and Schnabel started tying paper bags on peaches as they grew on trees, an unconventional method of protecting them from insects and disease while reducing a reliance on pesticides.

Now, thanks to the grant, the duo will expand their efforts to more orchards in South Carolina, Georgia and Florida as well as collaborate with University of Florida and University of Georgia researchers.

“This project will provide organic peach growers and growers in transition to organics in the Southeastern U.S. with an innovative strategy to increase peach orchard productivity and economic returns; to produce highquality, low-residue peaches; and to reduce reliance on insecticide and fungicide application,” Melgar said.

THE STATE OF PEACHES

Just how many peaches does South Carolina produce?

South Carolina growers harvest more than $64 million in peaches a year, according to the National Agricultural Statistics Service. South Carolina is second to California in peach production. However, all those peaches are grown with pesticide applications because organic pest management has been ineffective on peaches in South Carolina.

The Southeast as a whole produces nearly one-third of all peaches grown in the U.S.

Melgar and Schnabel first got the idea to bag peaches in 2012 and teamed up last year to win a grant from the USDA’s Southern Region Integrated Pest Management to test the production method, which had previously been used only in Asia and Europe.

In April 2015, about four weeks after the peach trees bloomed in South Carolina, the duo placed wet waxed paper sandwich bags on trees at the Musser Fruit Research Farm in Seneca and two farms in “The Ridge,” which is South Carolina’s predominant peach-growing region near Edgefield, Saluda and Lexington counties.

FOR MORE INFORMATION, visit www.clemson.edu/extension “For conventional growers, I could imagine people bagging some fruit and selling them as priority peaches or low-residue peaches for a premium. I could also imagine that this could be a key component for organic producers, who currently don’t really have the tools to produce quality fruits,” said Schnabel. “Those bags might be the answer.”

Since last year, Melgar and Schnabel have surveyed consumers at the Clemson Farmers Market and a fruit stand near the university. Participating consumers were shown two batches of peaches and asked which one

TREE PREPARATION � Prune the peach tree in the winter, removing suckers and unwanted branches. � Adjust soil pH and apply fertilizer between the bloom and petal fall. � Apply fungicide and insecticide immediately after bloom and 10 to 14 days later. � Thin the peach tree when fruit is the size of a thumbnail, leaving one fruit every 4 to 5 inches.

BAGGING FRUIT � Apply fungicide and insecticide one day before bagging the peaches. � Slide the bag over the peach so that the branch fits into the V-shaped notch. � Cinch the two sides next to the notch tightly together around the branch until the bag is closed. Then wrap a twist tie around the top of the bag. looked more attractive.

In one instance, the duo found that most of the surveyed consumers preferred blush-red peaches to peaches grown in bags. However, after being told the bagged peaches were free of chemicals, most consumers changed their mind.

Melgar and Schnabel also found that those consumers were willing to pay a premium of up to $1 per pound, which is 80 percent more compared to conventionally grown peaches.

But the researchers have calculated that farmers might have to sell bagged peaches for around 10 to 15 cents more per pound than conventional peaches to make up for the increased labor costs of bagging peaches. For that reason, the two researchers are working to determine if consumers would pay enough of a premium.

Throughout the next four years, Melgar and Schnabel plan to repeat the application and survey process each spring and summer. The duo also plans to present its findings at various horticulture conferences and growers meetings throughout the Southeast.

In the meantime, Melgar and Schnabel have prepared a fact sheet for organic growers who are interested in adopting the production method. Also, Clemson recently started selling peach bags for interested growers.

“We have already been contacted by some growers in other regions of the country, and in Canada that are interested in using bags in their orchards. So there is interest on this strategy already,” Melgar said.

Melgar and Schnabel compared two different models – one that left the peaches bagged until harvest and another that involved removing the bags 10 days before harvest – to a control group of peaches that was not bagged at all. The researchers have repeated that process each spring.

Comparisons of the two testing models revealed that bagged peaches, specifically the peaches that were bagged until harvest, had less incidence of brown rot and insect damage than the peaches without bags.

The two researchers have found that the sugar and acidic content are the same in bagged peaches and peaches grown with pesticide applications. Melgar and Schnabel have also found that the weight and size are the same. But there is one slight difference.

“For some varieties there are no differences at all, and for some other ones we get a little less intense blush,” said Melgar. “I would not call it yellow. In countries in Asia, some people use dark bags and these ones don’t let as much light go through so they get uniformly yellow peaches,” he added.

Melgar and Schnabel use white paper bags, which let light through.

The bags could be the answer to fungicide resistance, a costly problem in which diseases adapt to pesticides, rendering them ineffective, according to Melgar. The bags could also limit skin disorders caused by pesticide residue, acid rain or heat stress. That could reduce post-harvest waste and create more marketable peaches for farmers.

Melgar and Schnabel believe that bagging peaches could reap economic benefits. “There is great demand among customers for organic peaches, but production of organic peaches is concentrated in western states, such as California and Washington,” Melgar said.

“We don’t know yet if this can be done on a large scale in the Southeast, but we will find out,” Schnabel added.

Bagging peaches might not displace pesticide applications in large-scale applications, but it could create a niche business for farmers that would serve health-minded consumers willing to pay a premium for chemical-free produce.

Because of this, we were able to make very focused design decisions. The result is a 50-year-old building that looks, operates and performs like it is brand new,” said Greg Brown, project designer at AECOM. The new Swann Pavilion, which houses all aspects of the men’s and women’s basketball programs in one central location for the first time, will elevate the student-athlete experience. The pavilion includes a 13,000-square-foot practice gym and shooting courts; 5,000-square-foot team suites for each program that comprise the locker rooms, film room, lounge and coaches’ lockers; and a 6,000-square-foot weight room and sports medicine area shared by both teams.

The renovations will also revamp the fan experience and deliver an engaging, high-energy in-game environment. The new entrance to Littlejohn, the Burton Gallery, is a “high-volume, 10,000-squarefoot entry hall” that will provide an eye-catching first impression. Audio-visual upgrades include a 36-foot above-court video board, 440 feet of LED ribbon board and two 150-square-foot LED video boards in the lobby.

Littlejohn’s exterior also received a facelift. The arena’s original facade has been replaced with metal panels, brick accents and transparent frontage to give the building a modernized and contemporary look. The expanded outdoor grounds can accommodate 250 tailgating spots.

“This is an exciting step for the future of our basketball programs and our athletic department,” said Dan Radakovich, director of athletics. “Our desire was to update Littlejohn but respect the great structure that has served our university so well for almost 50 years.

GHS breaks fundraising record with $91 million campaign The Greenville Health System has raised $91 million in a record-setting "Campaign for the Second Century: Transforming Health Care" philanthropy project.

"Community support, vision and hard work started GHS in 1912, and it's that same support, vision and hard work that have grown us into what we are today," said Jerry Dempsey, campaign chairman and former chairman of the GHS board of trustees, who commented on the fundraising success in a media announcement.

"In the last century, Greenville citizens showed that they had the vision to transform a city. That same creativity, compassion and capability is taking GHS to a new level of service and accomplishment for the communities we serve, both in Greenville and beyond," Dempsey said.

The campaign's success was due in large part to Dempsey's support, said George Maynard III, GHS' vice president of institutional advancement. "He has focused on details and participated generously with his own leadership gift — quite simply, he has been the best volunteer leader in my career."

The campaign, which had a goal of $80 million, raised money with community support to fund a variety of programs, including the Bradshaw Institute for Community Child Health and Advocacy and the McCrary Blood and Marrow Transplant Unit. Other program beneficiaries are the Rare Tumor Center, the Medical Experience Academy, the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (AML) Clinic, the Children's Hospital Seed Fund for Advanced Pediatrics Care and the Ferlauto Center for Complex Pediatric Care. Top medical students applying to the USC School of Medicine Greenville also can receive scholarship support through the campaign's fundraising. – Melinda Young

The fundraiser is being spearheaded by the couple's charity organization, Dabo's All in Team Foundation.

"Dabo and I are so proud our foundation is partnering with Clemson Athletics, Oobe, St. Francis, Coke, Tiger Sports Shops and Tiger Town Graphics to help make a difference for those suffering with breast cancer," Kathleen said.

Kathleen revealed two designs, one in orange with a Tiger Paw graphic and the words, "I am Death Valley," and the other, a whimsical pink and white "Fighting for a Cure" tee. The Death Valley shirt sells for $16.95 (half of the proceeds go to the All In foundation), while the pink Fighting T-shirt sells for $20.95, with $10 from every shirt going to the nonprofit.

For the Swinneys, the fight against breast cancer is a personal one. Kathleen lost her sister to the disease. "Breast cancer doesn't just affect one person," Kathleen said. "It affects the whole family."

Beginner's Guide to Cycling EMILY PIETRAS | ASSOCIATE EDITOR | epietras@communityjournals.com

The Greenville Health System Swamp Rabbit Trail and the nearby mountains, both in the Upstate and across the border in North Carolina, have made Greenville a premier destination for cycling. Over the years, a lively cycling community has evolved in Greenville, ranging from groups that regularly organize rides for all levels to advocates who are pushing for more cycling-friendly infrastructure within the city.

We’re now experiencing a period of ideal cycling conditions as the temperature is becoming more reflective of the current fall season.

And because cycling has become such a hallmark of the outdoor culture in the Upstate, it’s reasonable to assume that there are inexperienced riders in our community who are interested in starting cycling as a new hobby, whether it’s for fitness, leisure or both.

However, cycling is more than just indiscriminately grabbing any old bicycle and pedaling down the road, which is why the Greenville Journal spoke (pun intended) to five local experts in order to compile a go-to resource for novice cyclists.

The Essentials

George Hincapie pumps the brakes before hitting the road “If you haven’t ridden in a while, just make sure your equipment is checked out before you jump on the bike. Make sure the tires are in safe condition, and make sure your brakes and gears are working properly. There’s nothing more frustrating than getting on a bike that doesn’t work.

So make sure to get it checked out before you go for a long ride.”

“If you’re doing any kind of distance or endurance, you should use clipless pedals and shoes. It allows you to pedal full circles. It’s a lot more efficient.” — MCMILLAN “We tell people to ride first and then see how your body responds to it. Gloves are also a good idea, especially if you’re concerned about falling. Sunglasses will also keep you comfortable and keep grit and pollen out of your eyes.” — MCRAE

The key to reducing bike fatalities — education and infrastructure, not laws CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

South Carolina legislators may have revamped the state’s bicycle safety laws to legally require drivers to leave a safe passing distance between them and cyclists and made it a crime to harass cyclists, but a bike attorney says much more can be done.

Peter Wilborn, a Charleston attorney who formed BikeLaw, a network of attorneys across the country, said the laws have led to better understanding and better behavior on South Carolina roads.

“A huge part of bicycle safety laws is to educate people,” Wilborn said. “We’re making slow but steady progress to better

understanding and better behavior. Absolutely, it helped.”

While Wilborn said there’s room in the 2008 law to get better — South Carolina’s law only prescribes that motorists maintain a safe distance when passing bicyclists where other states define that distance as three feet, for instance — infrastructure improvements would have greater impact.

“It’s really a function of infrastructure.

In places with infrastructure, crashes go down and ridership goes up. That’s what really is a game-changer,” he said.

Greenville is currently revising its bike master plan to include protected bike lanes, said Edward Kinney, senior landscape architect for the city and coordinator of the city’s bike efforts.

“[Bike safety] is really a function of infrastructure.

In places with infrastructure, crashes go down and ridership goes up.

That’s what really is a game-changer.”

Peter Wilborn, a Charleston lawyer who specializes in bicycle wreck cases

When the city adopted its original bike master plan in 2011, protected bike lanes were not common. In the years since, they have become more popular. A protected bike lane on McBee Avenue from Main to Falls streets was set up as a demonstration in June. Kinney said the city is now examining how to make it permanent.

“People need a way to make that 1- to 3-mile trip without having to get in a car,” said Frank Mansbach, executive director of Bike Walk Greenville.

Greenville’s biggest challenge is a lack of connected, comfortable bikeways, which consist of protected bike lanes, quiet neighborhood streets that feel comfortable and the Swamp Rabbit Trail and its connectors.

Greenville, which was named a bronze-

level Bicycle Friendly Community in 2009 and again in 2013, put its first bike lane down about a decade ago. In the five years since the first bike master plan was completed, the city added 7.5 miles of bike lanes.

The percentage of South Carolina residents commuting by bike is increasing, although that percentage is tiny at 0.3 percent, up from 0.2 percent. But Amy Johnson Ely, executive director of Palmetto Cycling Coalition, said commuting to work comprises only 15 percent of all bicycle trips.

“Half of all trips people make are within two miles of their homes,” she said.

“Imagine how much more active we could be and how much more enjoyable getting there would be if we used bikes.”

The Palmetto Cycling Coalition will continue to push for a law that increases penalties for killing or causing serious injury to pedestrians, bicyclists, persons in a wheelchair or those operating a farm tractor on the state’s roads.

Wilburn said he believes South Carolina’s bicycle safety laws, once some of the most progressive in the country, will be changed eventually. But, he said, changing the way of thinking of South Carolinians is just as important.

“Bicycle crashes are rarely accidents,” he said.

Lessons from Paris

By Don Hudson

My wife and I spent this summer in Paris, where a large number of people safely bike through the city.

While overseas, we kept connected with our friends in the Greenville bicycling community. We were pleased to see that the City of Greenville took a small step toward safer streets for cyclists by constructing a demonstration protected bike lane on Broad Street.

An aspect that I love in Paris is that when a bike lane crosses a street, especially in a roundabout, there are bike symbols on the street every four feet apart or so showing cyclists how to best navigate the crossing. You simply follow the bike symbols painted on the street.

Even better, cars and pedestrians expect bicycles to take the right of way. If

you are on a bike and do not go first, they look at you like, "Dude, get a move on and go ahead in front of me. I don't have all day."

Autos and moped drivers watch out for and yield to a cyclist even when the cyclist is running through a stoplight, yield sign or going the wrong way.

In Paris, there is no debate that protected bike lanes are important; the only debate is how to improve them. Some want to erect better barriers — plants perhaps — between the sidewalk and the bike lane. Others want to use different colors of paints so pedestrians can better tell when they walk across a bike lane.

With the increased amount

of distracted drivers, as well as pedestrians and cyclists, looking at their phones, it is recognized that infrastructure must be designed to maximize safety for all constituencies.

Cycling in the City of Lights isn't perfect, and from a newcomer's eye it can seem quite chaotic, but I can say that it works. For Greenville to be the city we need to be, we need to learn from the advancements my wife and I observed in Paris.

While we were away, we learned that Bike Walk Greenville is advocating for the city to start permanent construction of a network of protected bike lanes.

Clearly with the large number of new housing units nearing completion downtown, such a bike network will allow residents to get to work, stores and restaurants without the need of a car.

Of course, Greenville does not have the magnificently wide boulevards of Paris, so to retrofit them with protected bike lanes will take some ingenuity. I think we have it in us.

Don Hudson is the past president of the Greenville Spinners Bicycle Club and a resident of downtown Greenville.

City’s updated bike plan highlights more protected lanes CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

A consultant working on updating Greenville’s bike master plan has identified 50 potential locations for protected bike lanes in the city. The Top 5 are on key downtown streets off of Main Street.

City staff is now reviewing the recommendations, which range from painted bike lanes to bike lanes separated from traffic by curbs, posts, planters, parked cars and painted lanes, said Edward Kinney, senior landscape architect for the city and coordinator of the city’s bike efforts.

Kinney, who would not reveal the rest of the recommended streets because work on the revised plan is not yet finished, said the type of protected bike lane would depend on the road design, speed limits, how many curb cuts exist and whether the street is more urban or rural.

For instance, if a street has a lot of driveways, it wouldn’t make sense to have an elevated curb, he said. If a street only has 5 feet for a bike lane versus 8 feet, it would not make sense to use planters to separate bicycles from cars, he said.

He said he expects city staff to complete its review by the end of the year.

He is currently receiving input from city department directors on the feasibility of making that lane permanent. The project could cost a few thousand dollars, he said.

Project Host’s garden and greenhouse get a boost from the Fluor Corporation

Project Host’s greenhouse is now equipped with a hydroponic system that will help increase inhouse crop production.

EMILY PIETRAS | ASSOCIATE EDITOR

epietras@communityjournals.com

On Saturday, volunteers from the Fluor Corporation will return to Project Host, a nonprofit in the West End that addresses hunger in the community, to put finishing touches on new garden beds and compost bins. Fluor recently awarded Project Host a $10,000 grant to cover the nonprofit’s expenses for six garden beds (one wheelchair accessible), eight compost bins and a hydroponic system that operates inside their greenhouse, which was also constructed due to a past grant from Fluor. Project Host aims to incorporate as many fresh fruits and vegetables as possible into the meals they prepare each day, and the grant will help them build on that mission.

“Growing the plants from seeds is the cheapest way to grow vegetables,” says Jill Mashburn, a board member of Project Host and a project controls specialist at Fluor. “We try to get the very best at a minimum expense.” Mashburn wrote and introduced the grant on the organization’s behalf.

This summer, close to 700 tomato plants were grown in the Project Host garden and greenhouse in addition to okra, cucumbers, eggplant, zucchini, green beans and squash.

Currently, the garden is growing Red Russian kale, fennel, romaine and various herbs including parsley, thyme and rosemary. The hydroponic system, which was installed last month, now makes growing year-round possible, and it produces a greater yield compared to traditional gardening methods. In one week, the system can produce up to 30 heads of lettuce.

Approximately 15 volunteers tend to Project Host’s garden and greenhouse on a regular basis, says Sally Green, executive director of Project Host. Many are retired individuals who have downsized their property and no longer have yards. Throughout the year, the Project Host garden will have close to 100 volunteers. Green says volunteering at the garden is a popular team-building activity for businesses, and the garden also serves as a teaching space for kids and to support community gardens.

Although Project Host implements succession planting to maximize the yield of their garden, demand outweighs their in-house supply. “Everything we grow gets used, but it isn’t enough to cover [all operations],” says Green. To make up the difference, the organization partners with agencies like Loaves & Fishes and area farmers, and they also use food distribution companies such as Sysco and PFG. Open from 11 a.m.–noon Sunday through Friday, the soup kitchen is run by volunteers and provides 150 meals daily. Additionally, through the Cooking For Kids program, Project Host serves a daily meal to approximately 450 low-income kids enrolled in nearby afterschool programs.

Pay it forward Project Host’s CC Pearce Culinary School, which was established in 2003, is the linchpin of Cooking for Kids. The school teaches unemployed and underemployed individuals culinary and food service skills so that they can find permanent work in restaurants or commercial kitchens. Under the tutelage of head chef Tobin Simpson, students help prepare the Cooking for Kids meals. By intertwining the two programs, the culinary students can hone

After completing Project Host’s culinary school program, Pekan Briggs was hired as a chef’s assistant at the nonprofit.

their new craft while also giving back to the community.

The 12-week program runs four times a year and averages five students per cycle.

Some individuals who enter the program are referred by nonprofit social services agencies like the Salvation Army. Other students hear about it through word of mouth or from being a soup kitchen client.

In addition to preparing Cooking for Kids meals, on the third Thursday of every month, the organization hosts reservationsonly three-course community dinners.

These dinners, as well as group catering opportunities, give students valuable practical experience in the kitchen. Project Host pays students for hours worked outside of the classroom.

“We teach them the skill set to get a job and be more self-sufficient and be more financially stable,” says Allen Hellenga, director of development. “In my mind, what makes this program successful is the employment readiness we teach … The food part gets a lot of attention, but that’s what really makes the difference.” Project Host offers students instruction on hygiene, money management, conflict management, résumé writing and communication skills. They also provide case management to help identify the barriers that may be preventing students from achieving professional success.

Project Host culinary students help prepare 450 meals daily for low-income children enrolled in after-school programs.

A new avenue Project Host currently employs two former culinary students. Pekan Briggs entered the program in June 2015, and soon after she graduated, Simpson asked her to join his staff as a chef’s assistant.

“I think he’s the best chef in the world,” she says of her former instructor. “He makes sure you get it.”

Briggs says the skills she learned while in the program include the correct way to incorporate spices into a dish, improving her chopping technique and adjusting to measuring ingredients in grams rather than pounds. She has also gained insight into the inner workings of the front end of a kitchen. Each day Briggs assists with preparing the Cooking For Kids meals and instructing

the culinary students. “I help keep them on track,” she says.

Asked how the entire experience — from starting the program to now working at Project Host — has made an impact on her, Briggs says, “From where I was, just doing home cooking, I am now able to do more French style … It’s opened up a whole new avenue. It’s broadened things for me.”

The grilled cheese and apple sandwich at GB&D comes with squash soup.

Photos by Will Crooks Although the temperature skewed a little high earlier this week, there’s no doubt the air’s been a little crispy. Fall is here and thankfully so, especially after 2016’s long, hot summer in which it seemed like all of America boiled, baked and melted down. How else do you explain the bizarre behavior of our presidential contenders, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Gary Johnson and Jill Stein?

Not a week has gone by when it didn’t seem like one of them, if not all of them, were totally and completely out of their gourds.

Speaking of gourds, fall brings us plenty of those, and nobody is happier about that than the local chefs adding pumpkins and autumn

squashes to the menus. We called around to a few Upstate restaurants to see how they’re using their gourds this fall. Enjoy.

Rick Erwin’s West End Grille is showcasing seasonal ingredients with a dish that features seared scallops, butternut squash risotto, squash purée, candied bacon and brown butter.

“Local, seasonal ingredients are simply at their best, so we love to include them whatever way we can, including in this seared scallop entrée,” says Justin Furr, executive chef of West End Grille. “I would still recommend the dish to someone who may not like butternut squash, because when we cook it like we do, it has a sweet, creamy texture, and

the brown butter in the dish gives it a nutty flavor. It’s rustic and reminds me of fall.”

The Greenville Journal’s Village of West Greenville neighbor GB&D prides itself on serving local vegetables on its frequently changing menu. Chef and owner Alex George often offers the roasted delicata squash soup and grilled cheddar and local apple sandwich to first-time diners. Last week, George cooked up a ramen special that quickly sold out during its first lunchtime appearance.

The ramen dish features butternut squash, confit chicken, savory broth, Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, a beet-dyed egg, scallions and apple kimchi. GB&D has since added the

noodle dish to the restaurant’s new dinner lineup.

Like GB&D, Executive Chef Steven Musolf and the gang at Lazy Goat are serving up two gourd-based dishes, a pumpkin risotto and a squash pizza.

Musolf says that the pumpkin risotto is inspired by the Mediterranean, like much of the Goat’s fare. “The risotto at The Lazy Goat is made in the traditional style using onions, white wine and Arborio rice. It’s finished with diced pumpkin, pecorino pepato, sage and brown butter,” Musolf says. “I’d describe it as familiar and harmonious.”

As for the squash pizza, Musolf says his sous chef, Spencer Bonezzi, is the brains behind that beauty.

“Fall flavors are abundant on this pie with caramelized red onions, grilled cauliflower and ricotta cheese,” Musolf says. “Spencer tosses raw julienned butternut squash in a marinade of olive oil, sage, salt and pepper. It’s then simply scattered on top of the pizza along with the other vegetables and cheese. Once in the pizza oven, the squash starts to caramelize, giving it a toasted, sweet finish. Familiar flavors with a twist on the approach.”

Just a hop, skip and a jump down Main, the American Grocery crew is embracing gourds like Linus clutches his security blanket waiting for the Great Pumpkin on Halloween night.

Co-owner and sommelier Darlene Mann-Clarke has all the details. “We are featuring candy roaster squash from Broken Oak Organics [Marietta, S.C.] that is made into a puree and currently on our swordfish dish,” Mann-Clarke says.

Chef Joe Clarke of American Grocery has also added another fall fave to the menu: sweet potatoes from Crescent Farm in Clinton, S.C. “We are using these to make our

sweet potato biscuits featured on our Daily Bread Basket,” Mann-Clarke says. “We are using sweet potatoes to make a house-made sweet potato tortelli — basically a larger form of tortellini — featured on our crispy veal sweetbread appetizer. Also, we are utilizing sweet potatoes on our cornmeal-crusted sunburst trout entree prepared as glazed sweet potatoes.”

At Stella’s Southern Bistro in Simpsonville, Chef Jason Scholz is offering up a ridic-gourd-ulous lineup of fall veggie-inspired eats. In fact, Scholz says, they are going through 100 pounds of squash a week, from butternut to African and spaghetti.

Scholz has added pickled African squash and some toasted pumpkin seeds to the house salad, and he’s serving up a squash, apple and ginger bisque.

Stella’s has also been serving a wreckfish pirlou featuring Carolina Gold grits, roasted and caramelized squash and fish from Abundant Seafood and Captain Mark Marhefka in Mt. Pleasant. (Interesting fact: Stella’s gets up to 130 pounds of fish from Marhefka every week.)

For meat lovers, Scholz is offering a pork chop with baked cheese grits, squash, sweet potato, apple sauce and braised cabbage.

‘Curious Incident’ looks inside unusual boy’s sensory world CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

“The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time” is a journey into a world most of the audience will never experience personally.

It’s the world of Christopher Boone, a 15-year-old boy who is exceptionally intelligent but ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. Although it’s never explicitly stated, Christopher’s condition seems similar to an autism spectrum disorder. The national tour of the 2015 Tony Award winner for Best New Play uses the set to put the audience in Christopher’s head through the set’s precise, confining grid pattern of the walls, something designed to pay homage to the boy’s love of science, math and graph paper. Math formulas, cities and constellations are projected onto the walls, lights flash and discordant percussive noises illustrate the chaos.

“On stage, you get the sensory overload he’s going through,” said Gene Gillette, the actor who plays Ed, Christopher’s father. “I think the story gives a beautiful understanding of other people and what they’re going through.”

“Curious Incident” is the second national

facts about “The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time”

• The idea of using light-up dots or pixels on the floor to illustrate Christopher’s mind came from the film “The Matrix.”

• Five tons of steel are used in the walls and floor.

• All of the music in the show is based on prime number sequences.

• The video cabling is military grade to assure the show moves smoothly between venues.

• There are 234 sound cues made up of 2,593 different elements.

touring Broadway play in which Gillette has been cast. He also appeared in “War Horse,” which made a stop in Greenville in 2013.

Both are plays that were adapted from young adult novels.

“It doesn’t sugarcoat things,” he said. “[Young adults] don’t need things sugarcoated. I just look back at the things they go through in high school, junior high. They were so awful, often moreso than anything they’ll go through in adulthood.”

And “Curious Incident” has been successful on Broadway because it is a story to which everybody can relate, he said.

“It has a lot of universal themes. There are some pretty brutal parts of the play,” he said. “It’s really a beautiful family story and

a truthful one.” Christopher lives with his father, a guy who just lost his wife and is trying to learn how to be a single parent. “He doesn’t always make the best decisions,” Gillette said.

Christopher finds his neighbor’s dog, which was killed with a pitchfork. After briefly being suspected of the killing, the boy sets out to find the culprit. In the course of his detective work, Christopher discovers some family secrets – including that his mother was not dead as he had been told, but instead had run off with the man next door, and that his parents’ marriage had fallen apart partly because of the strain of caring for him.

“It’s really unique theater. It has a beau-

tiful story. It has gorgeous direction. It has amazing movement,” Gillette said. “It’s not a two-person, living-room play. It’s a sensory overwhelming experience.”

Bridging the Cultural Gap Greenville Chorale performance designed to acknowledge Jewish community ARIEL TURNER | CONTRIBUTOR

aturner@communityjournals.com

Greenville Chorale conductor Bing Vick says an experience as a grad student attending synagogue on the North Shore of Chicago stuck with him these many years later and served as an inspiration for the chorale’s upcoming “Jewish Musical Monuments” performance on Oct. 22.

The program, scheduled two weeks after the Jewish observances of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, will feature two 20th century choral/orchestral compositions by Jewish composers Ernest Bloch and Leonard Bernstein. The chorale will be joined by the full Greenville Symphony Orchestra for this first concert in the chorale’s 56th season.

“This idea has been brewing for a number of years,” Vick says. “These are two monumental Jewish works, but both are applicable to broader humanity.”

Vick says one of the main goals for this performance is to acknowledge the local Jewish community.

“There is a great body of beautiful and expressive choral and choral-orchestral music by Jewish composers, and music particularly meaningful to Jewish congregations, that is performed infrequently in our part of the country,” he says.

“The chorale’s mission is to perform music representative of the full range of cultures in our country, and with this music, we actively reach out to the Jewish community.”

Vick says even though the pieces are Jewish, their musicality should appeal to Protestants and nonreligious alike.

The chorale will be singing both works in Hebrew. English translation will be available in the printed program.

The first half of the concert will feature Bloch’s “Avodath Hakodesh” (“Sacred Service”), along with frequent soloist bass-baritone David Parker of the Bob Jones University voice faculty.

The chorale has performed the Bloch composition only once, in 1974, before Vick became conductor.

“This is my first time conducting it, and it’s a challenge,” he says. “There are meter changes, rubato, a lot of give and take between the orchestra and chorale.”

“Avodath Hakodesh” is an operatic setting of the Sabbath-morning service based on the Reform Jewish Union Prayer Book (1892) for baritone soloist (cantor), chorus and full orchestra. The cantor role in this work is nearly identical to that in the Jewish worship service. He will sing a phrase and the choir and orchestra, representative of the congregation, will respond and reinforce the idea.

“The composer felt compelled to make it more than just Jewish liturgy,” Vick says.

Taylors resident Sue Lasser, a longtime member of the chorale who is also Jewish, transliterated the Bloch from Eastern European Hebrew pronunciation into modern Hebrew pronunciation to make it connect even further with the local Jewish community. She also helped coach her colleagues in their Hebrew diction.

She says this performance is especially meaningful for her.

“We sing a lot of great music from faith traditions that are not mine,” Lasser says. “So for me to sing this music that is from my faith tradition adds the spiritual connection.”

Following intermission, the chorale, along with 13-year-old boy soprano Jacob Litke from Woodruff, will perform Bernstein’s popular “Chichester Psalms.” The Hebrew texts come from the Psalms, including the familiar passages of Psalm 100 and Psalm 23. The message of the composition is brotherhood of man. Litke will sing the words of Psalm 23.

“It should leave everyone with a warm feeling in their hearts,” Vick says. “With politics and all of the angst and anger, it shows God’s faith in humanity and hope for the future.”

Mr. Bonejazz Picking up the trombone in 10th grade started Buff Dillard’s slide into the jazz Top 40

Major, Minor, and Modern

VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR

A Peace Chamber Concert

As a child, Buff Dillard, an Upstate native who comes from a long line of musicians, first picked up the trombone to emulate his brother Daniel, who played with R&B singer Peabo Bryson and eventually moved behind the scenes to work as Gladys Knight’s road manager. But it wasn’t his favorite instrument. Dillard preferred drums, and his second choice was stand-up bass.

So when Dillard relocated with his family to Philadelphia in his teens and he joined the band program at his high school, he went straight for the rhythm section and found quite a crowd.

“I wanted to play drums with the jazz band, but they had four drummers,” Dillard says. “So then I wanted to play bass, but they had three bass players. So when the band teacher was out of the room and the kids were just playing instruments and making noise, I grabbed the trombone and I just started wailing all these different riffs. I noticed that all the other instruments got quiet and I realized the band teacher had come back in.

I turned around and he’s looking right at me and I thought I was in trouble. But he said, ‘You didn’t tell me you could play trombone like that! I had no idea!’ And after that he put me in every jazz band he conducted.”

Perhaps what the band teacher was reacting to was Dillard’s sound, a surprisingly flexible tone that can slide up, down and around the melody of a song like a singer. “I never listened to other musicians,” he says.

“I listened to other vocalists. That’s how I came up with my style. It sounds like more of a voice singing than an instrument playing. People say they can almost hear the words in the music I play. When you hear the trombone, you usually either hear it with a lot of other horns, or you think of the adults’ voices on Charlie Brown. I was thinking about being out front like the sax or the lead guitar or the piano.”

That tone, and his band teacher’s connections on the Philadelphia music scene, eventually landed him some high-profile gigs, including stints with the Count Basie Orchestra and the jazz-fusion group Pieces of a Dream. But Dillard always had his eye

on a solo career, and he wanted to pursue a brand of smooth jazz that left room for his soulful, muscular tone.

“The challenge was creating a market for what I do,” he says. “I had to create a market to present this, because people thought of the trombone as a boring instrument.

The business side of it was a challenge, but people at the shows were telling me they’d never heard the trombone played that way.

That kind of piqued my interest in getting the music out there. My goal became, ‘How do I get this music out?’”

When no major labels seemed interested in his music, Dillard decided to self-release and promote his albums, and after eight independent releases, the hard work seems to be paying off with his new album, “Mr. Bonejazz.” The album is currently in the Top 40 on the Independent Jazz Album charts, and four of its songs are currently in rotation on 100 or so radio stations around the world. “My music has reached all around the globe,” Dillard says, “and I paid for the publicity campaign, because I can’t seem to get the labels’ attention. But I’m doing it. I’m playing my own music in my own style.”

All Lit Up The Warehouse Theatre GETS A FLASHY NEW SIGN ARIEL TURNER | CONTRIBUTOR

aturner@communityjournals.com “It finally looks finished,” is a comment Katie Leckenbusch, Warehouse Theatre director of development, has heard repeatedly since the new marquee sign was installed on the front of the West End building two weeks ago.

Thanks to grants from the Graham Foundation, which has long invested in the Warehouse Theatre, and the Community Foundation, the new sign illuminates the corner of Augusta and University streets and features two promotion boards – one facing each street – for the main purpose of capacity building.

“The enormous number of eyeballs that drive by is astounding,” says Leckenbusch. “This allows people to find us easier and allows us to promote multiple productions.”

Board member Ken Betsch worked with Scott McMillan of F. Scott McMillan Design and Associates on the design. The sign was created by Masstar Signs.

Greenville Technical College’s RIVERWORKS Gallery 300 River St., Ste. 202 1-6 p.m.

FREE Carly Drew, Katelyn Chapman and Kolton Miller are all Drawn South through their childhood immersion in and reverence for South Carolina’s culture and landscape. Their images explore and narrate their home landscape with layers of media that present a compression of history and multiple perspectives. Miller says, “It is important that the work questions the time, place and realness of your standard landscape, pushing something normally thought of as concrete into an unearthly event.” While studying together at Clemson, the three became friends and colleagues. A reception will be held First Friday, Nov. 4, 6-9 p.m. gvltec.edu/riverworks/

Tradition

Virtue

Excellence

Durham, N.C.’s Bombadil specializes in remarkably precise, painstakingly crafted pop songs that still leave breathing room in their arrangements. The seemingly effortless songwriting presents infectious choruses and sing-along verses with lyrics that are somehow playful and somber, direct and obscure. However, those deft touches with melody, arrangement and lyrical perspective don’t necessarily mean the band that created them has had a smooth ride.

Bombadil has been together since 2005, and it seems like each of their releases has been accompanied by a lineup change. “It’s been hard to keep a steady lineup going,” drummer James Phillips says with an understated chuckle. “But we just keep on keeping on.” That uncertainty hasn’t stifled their creativity, however. For their most recent album, “Hold On,” Phillips and singer/multi-instrumentalist Daniel Michalak started with nearly 50 songs. “We were fortunate this time around to have far more songs than we ended up releasing, so the songs we ended up picking were the ones we were the most excited about,” Phillips says. “There was this well of enthusiasm for the material that we could rely on while we were working on it and honing it.” —Vincent Harris

CONCERT

OCT. 21

Rumpke Mountain Boys Gottrocks | 200 Eisenhower Drive

Amnesis, w/ Red X & Didges Christ Super Drum Radio Room | 2845 N. Pleasantburg Drive $5 (over 21)/$7 (under) | 9 p.m.

What’s most interesting about the sound of the Canton, N.C., quintet Amnesis isn’t the obvious heaviness, though that’s certainly something the band does well. And it’s not how the twin guitars sync up or dogfight one another like fighter jets, either, though both guitarists display a dazzling amount of skill.

The real key to the band’s menacing metal is the way that singer Jaysun Brenneman fuses with the rhythm section instead of basing his performance on the riffs. His voice is almost like another instrument fattening up the bottom end of the band’s songs, and as it turns out, that’s entirely intentional. “When we write, it starts with the two guitars, and everything comes naturally around the riffs,” Brenneman says. “But it took me years to find the sound I wanted. I was a drummer for 12 years, so I eventually learned to go by the bass and drums and find the root of the vocal that way.” —Vincent Harris

BOOK SIGNING

Charles Martin Book Talk & Signing Fiction Addiction | 1175 Woods Crossing Road 4 p.m. $28 includes book and guaranteed seating, $10

$10 | 9 p.m.

If you go strictly by appearance, the Rumpke Mountain Boys has “traditional bluegrass” written all over them. The instrumentation is strictly acoustic: guitar, upright bass, mandolin and banjo. And the Cincinnatti quartet certainly knows its way around an old-school Appalachian rave-up. But a closer look will reveal a much more expansive sound. The band, which formed over a decade ago, calls their musical style “trashgrass.” It’s an experimental blend of influences ranging from Jimmy Cliff to the Grateful Dead to Tom Waits to The Stanley Brothers, an all-encompassing brew that’s further bolstered by the genre-bending songwriting of all four members of the group.

It’s a sound that you might think would offend the traditional faction of bluegrass-lovers, but Rumpke Mountain Boys bassist J.D. Westmoreland says that they haven’t heard a peep from the purists. “I don’t think we’ve had any problems,” he says. “Not that I’m aware of, anyway.

But even though our instrumentation is in the classic style, we don’t really claim to be of the classic style. We play all kinds of styles; if we like a song, we do it.” —Vincent Harris

OCTOBER 25-30 OPENS TUESDAY! BEST PRICES ONLY AT

Trinity UMC 2703 Augusta St.

This play by Rebecca Gilman is part of Centre Stage’s Fringe series. It confronts the complicated subject of children in foster care. “Despite what we try to put in place, the systems are only as strong as the people running them,” says director Anne Tromsness. “Even people with the best intention lose their way.” The plot follows veteran social worker Caroline, who will do whatever it takes to protect the baby named Luna Gale in her care. She unwittingly sparks a family conflict that exposes a shadowy, secretive past and forces her to make a risky decision with potentially dangerous consequences.

Tromsness says while the play is not a tragedy, there are no clear protagonists.

“There are no villains and no heroes,” she says. “There are frustrating moments and it’s a challenge not to judge the characters.”

Tromsness says that, like the real world, this play shows characters in a great deal of pain and a great deal of love. centrestage.org

$60 for six-week session; $25 instrument rental Register for this six-week series of lessons.

Lessons begin Oct. 27. This program is open to all ages (third-grade through adults) and is designed to teach students to play Appalachian music with acoustic instruments. Instruments include guitar, mandolin, fiddle and banjo.

Rapid Eye Reality with Brad Willis

Pure courage from the mouths of babes It doesn’t take a deep investigation of American values to know, despite many advances for women over the last couple of generations, we are nowhere close to perfect.

If you doubt that, read the last few weeks of news. Ask yourself if you’re proud of where we are as a country and how we treat girls and women. Consider the moral courage it takes to stand up and say it’s wrong.

I saw that courage in Ghana.

I saw girls and young women have the bravery to tell the old men they wouldn’t stand for it. Moreover, I saw young men stand beside those girls and join their fight. Finally, I saw a village chief who listened and vowed to help The children stood in a circle, bouncing to the beat as a young girl danced in the middle, her backside padded with cloth to make it look much bigger than it really was. A young boy broke free from the circle and joined the girl in the middle. He stepped behind her and put his groin against the girl’s rear end. His smile was as wide as his face.

tradition that by Western standards are hard to imagine. In some parts of the country, female children are promised as wives before they learn to walk. It’s not much longer before many are sexually abused, often by members of their own family. They bear children when they are still children. They are shamed for their menstrual cycles and avoid school as a result.

There were no gasps from the assembled crowd of adults. No schoolmarm rushed to the middle to pluck the boy away. No one stopped the boy from pressing himself against the girl from behind.

When the dance was over, a line of girls stood in front of the local chief and read poetry in their native language and in English. They spoke without notes, beseeching girls to understand their lot in life did not have to be what twisted tradition had dictated for so long.

Until the girl did it herself.

She moved her hips forward and then bucked them back, striking the boy with enough force to knock him 4 feet backward to the delight of everyone around him.

He moved in from a different angle, sidling with the beat, spreading his legs wider for a better approach. The result was the same.

The girl bucked him away with a certain grace. She never missed a dance step.

It happened over and over again until it wasn’t shocking anymore. It wasn’t just a dance. It wasn’t a public molestation. It was a political statement meant for every adult in the crowd: The girl and every one of her girlfriends would stand for it no more.

This month I traveled to Ghana, a developing but struggling West African nation, one that is working to extricate itself from generations of

For an outsider, it was an uncomfortable display, and not just because of the subject matter. The girls’ demonstration was taking place in front of village elders, skinny men in traditional garb looking on with unsmiling faces, men who had grown up in a community where the shame of sexual abuse was only a woman’s to bear.

As an American, I stood there watching somewhat uncomfortably. I imagined the shock and horror of Greenville parents if they heard there was a mock sexual display happening during a school assembly. I wondered what would happen if middle school girls at my son’s school stood up in front of the entire student body and declaimed what happens to girls and women in my own country.

protect girls from his own constituents.

And then I came home to America. I read the news. I heard the political equivocations and impotent protests of men struggling to defend themselves. I saw the wholesale normalization of criminal sexual behavior. I saw sputtering hate from people who likely have a different interpretation of the phrase “from the mouths of babes” than I do.

A week has passed since I saw pure courage in the middle of an African schoolyard. I can’t shake the feeling I had while watching children stand up for women and against something that was clearly wrong. Now, I sit at home in the most powerful country in the world and wonder what would happen if we were all as brave.
