Instagram-worthy fall date ideas

Fall is a beautiful time of year to get cozy with your significant other – or meet someone new – and see some of the best scenery the state and surrounding areas have to offer.

We’ve come up with the best fall dates that are both romantic and Instagram-worthy, because really, you’ve got to share the love.

STUMPHOUSE TUNNEL

JUSTUS ORCHARD

Construction on the Stumphouse Tunnel in Walhalla started pre-Civil War in 1852 and was never completed. Stroll hand in hand through the tunnel. If you go when the leaves are changing, the photos can be quite stunning. For an extra treat, stop at the nearby Issaqueena Falls.

Apple season lasts only a few months but hitting up an apple orchard is a great way to spend time together. With the mountains in the background, a good apple photo is usually an instant Insta hit.

Plus you can enjoy their delicious apples, cider donuts and unbeatable views.

The Poinsett Bridge is the oldest in SC. Its Gothic arch is ideal for beautiful, romantic photos.

A small creek flows under the bridge and in the fall, yellows, reds and oranges frame the shot. It's also rumored to be haunted-good luck trying to get paranormal activity on camera.

Romance flies high at a hot air balloon festival.

The Victory Hot Air Balloon Festival happens in Greenville Nov. 1 and 2 at Historic Hopkins Farm in Simpsonville. Book a spot to take your date in a hot air balloon and be sure to have that camera ready.

PROFILE

Greenville Tech professor Steve Farrell presents short film “Mersey Boys” n story by EMILY WARNER | photos PROVIDED

Steve Farrell’s favorite Beatles song is “In My Life.” The song is significant to him because he heard it in the pub where John Lennon and Cynthia Powell held their wedding reception in 1962.

Farrell is a speech communication professor at Greenville Tech and loves the Beatles.

He enjoys The Beatles’ music and legacy so much, in fact, that he wrote the novel “Mersey Boys” based on the band’s early days in Liverpool.

“Mersey Boys” follows Al Moran, an Irish-American professor who takes a position at Liverpool Art College in 1959.

Moran becomes infatuated by the beautiful Ginny Browne; however, he has to compete for her with a young student by the name of John Lennon.

Farrell’s work also inspired a screenplay called “Mersey Boys: A Letter from Al Moran.” Irish director Paddy Murphy wrote the screenplay, which was based on Farrell’s work, as a prelude to the novel. Farrell says he hopes the 10-minute film will generate interest in a feature-length film.

The people from Merseyside have their own unique dialect called Scouse which makes it distinctive from the rest of England and the United Kingdom.”

-Steve Farrell, speech and communication professor, Greenville Tech

WHAT’S MERSEY? According to Britannica, The River Mersey stretches from Stockport, England, to an estuary at the Port of Liverpool.

Liverpool is within the county of Merseyside; it is both a geographic area and, at least when The Beatles formed, an identifiable mindset and attitude.

“The people from Merseyside have their own unique dialect called Scouse which makes it distinctive from the rest of England and the United Kingdom,” Farrell says.

He explains that Liverpool’s existence as a port city makes significant cultural exchange possible. Liverpool’s proximity to the Irish Sea meant lots of Irish, Scottish and Welsh as well as West Indian people migrated to the city for work.

“Liverpudlians also very much have an “us” versus “them” worldview, especially with Londoners or the Cockneys,” Farrell explained. When asked why it’s significant that The Beatles came from Merseyside, Farrell said it’s because of their dual Irish and English identity — they were outsiders.

“They were also exposed to the AfricanAmerican R&B sound and the white rockabilly music that sailors introduced to the teenagers of the city,” Farrell said.

“Mersey Boys” is available for purchase on Amazon as well as Farrell’s “Mersey Boys,” a compilation of the “Mersey Boys” novel and screenplay.

THROUGH THE LENS of the AFRICAN AMERICAN EXPERIENCE The International African American Museum breaks ground

I

f history is a living thing, it needs enough light and the right space to grow. A critical element of American history will begin to thrive at Gadsden’s Wharf in Charleston, where a groundbreaking was held Oct. 25 for the International African American Museum. Located where nearly half of enslaved Africans first set foot on American soil, the museum will shed new light on those tens of thousands of people, the country they helped to build and South Carolina’s role in it all.

Elijah Heyward III, IAAM chief operating officer, said the museum will open late 2021 and wouldn’t be at this “exciting juncture” without statewide support, particularly in the Upstate.

Upstate involvement became more visible with announcements of sizeable pledges from Flour, Michelin, TD Bank and a $1 million pledge from BMW in the past two years.

Yet the project has been championed for nearly 20 years by former Charleston Mayor Joe Riley. He was reportedly inspired by a family conversation and further reading about his city’s role in slavery.

Such informal education is common in Greenville. Peggy Baxter, who serves on boards including the historic Afri-

can American Sterling Neighborhood, compared the IAAM to the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of African American History and Culture that opened in September 2016 in Washington, D.C. “We’re hungry for that Washington experience. We want our kids to hear, not because of shame but rather pride at what a strong people we are,” Baxter said. “Of course we have an emotional reaction but it will be great to know the facts.”

John Greene, owner of The Fade Studio, said barbershops are rife with such discussions. White clients ask him about African American accomplishments and historical claims.

“This museum is going to make a huge difference,” Greene said. “People can learn about the slaves, different dialects, understand what they had to endure. People should be able make their own decisions about what’s right and what’s wrong in America. It’s going to show people some things they don’t want to know.”

Museum visitors will be able to illuminate their personal histories in the museum’s Center for Family History, dedicated to genetic and genealogical research. TD Bank sponsors the center, seeing it a community bridge-builder, said David Lominack, South Carolina market president for TD Bank.

Greenville resident Minor Shaw, IAAM board member, sees the museum as a place for all to learn and embrace the personal impact of African American history.

“I don’t think it’s just for African Americans,” Shaw said. “It’s for anybody to come in and experience the history of this country, what happened at that

point in time, but also the contributions that these people who came over from Africa were able to make to our country. It’s important in every aspect of our lives. It’s a very difficult story for anyone, whether you’re African American, white or whatever you are.”

Heyward said the groundbreaking is an opportunity to thank thousands of supporters — many from the Upstate.

It's not Halloween... It's Día de los Muertos Day of the Dead has a distinct history that doesn't include Halloween n story by EMILY WARNER | photos PROVIDED

Ancient Mesoamerican civilizations like the Olmec, Maya and Veracruz believed that death was part of the journey of life. Rather than death being the absolute end, they believed that new life came from dying.

These groups inhabited what is now Mexico and Central America. Today, descendants of these civilizations honor their ancestors’ culture and legacy by memorializing loved ones who have died. This celebration is known as Día de los Muertos.

IT’S NOT HALLOWEEN For many Americans, Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is synonymous with sugar skulls and Halloween. It’s a day to dress up and paint your face like a skeleton. However, even though death is the whole point of Día de los Muertos, it isn’t supposed to be creepy — not like some terrifying Halloween costumes. It also has nothing to do with Halloween.

Día de los Muertos just happens to occur at the same time of year.

“For us in Mexico it’s to remember on Earth the people who died,” says Carmen Gallagher, a member of Upstate International and AHAM (Hispanic American Women’s Association). Gallagher is from Monterrey, Mexico, and married a man from New York. The couple moved to Greenville 13 years ago.

“So in Mexico we set altars in our houses. And we usually put pictures of those who died and the food and the drinks that they used to like. If someone Below: Carmen Gallagher (left) celebrates Dia de los Muertos at Upstate International

used to like tequila, you put a bottle of tequila. And in Mexico people actually go to cemeteries. They bring food and there’s music.”

Upstate International hosts Día de los Muertos events each November. Gallagher says these events usually focus on a traditional altar to honor deceased loved ones.

This year, though, it’ll be different.

Instead of a traditional altar, Upstate International will celebrate Día de los Muertos by inviting Sara Montero-Buria of Hispanic Alliance to give a presentation on La Catrina.

La Catrina is a fashionable skeleton and a quintessential icon of Mexican culture. Her image appears on clothes and shoes, murals and traditional sugar skull candy.

Artists usually depict La Catrina wearing ornate clothing and jewelry; no matter the artist, though, she never appears without her statement feathered hat.

According to the Yucatan Times, the Catrina we all know nowadays came to life in the early 1900s courtesy of Mexican artist José Guadalupe Posada. Posada was a political cartoonist who drew and etched skeletons as satire to remind even the wealthiest Mexicans that they would all end up dead in the end.

For many people in Greenville, Día de los Muertos is

EVENT

“Who Will Write Our History” n story by LAURA HAIGHT

It’s been 80 years since a group of journalists, educators and community leaders imprisoned in Poland’s Warsaw Ghetto began to document their experiences, the Nazi occupation and its propaganda campaigns.

Unable to publish or communicate openly, these prisoners hid their writings in metal boxes and milk cans, and buried them. In 1946, the first group of buried reportage and artifacts were unearthed; another in 1950.

Those first two tranches included 10 metal boxes and three milk cans, which altogether contained more than 6000 documents. A third tranche has never been found.

The story of those collaborators, known collectively as Oyneg Shabes, and the heart-wrenching stories they tell comes to life in the film “Who Will Write Our History.” The film, released this year, was written and directed by Roberta Grossman and produced by Nancy Spielberg. Both Grossman and Spielberg will be at a Furman University screening and panel discussion of the film on Nov. 17.

The event is presented by the Greenville Jewish Federation and Furman University.

Based on the 2008 book by Samuel Kassow, the film meshes historical images with readings from the archives. Adrian Brody voices Emanuel Ringelblum, the initiator of the documentation and protection of the materials; Joan Allen voices Rachel Auerbach, one of only three of the Oyneg Shabas chroniclers to survive the war.

The lessons of the Holocaust continue to resonate in today’s headlines, says Amy Hammer, executive director of the GJF. “At a time when we are locking up children and seeing a dramatic increase in hate crime, these stories need to be told.”

Many of the archived stories tell of the horror visited on children. Ringelblum wrote of the plight of starving children throughout the ghetto.

“It often happens that begging children die at night on the sidewalk. I just heard about a terrible scene… where a 6-year-old beggar lay dying all night, unable even to crawl to eat a piece of bread that someone had thrown to him from the balcony,” he wrote.

To Hammer, the film is a “cautionary tale,” a “vivid reminder of what can happen when hate overtakes a society.”

Education is a strong focus for the GJF and the program will be free to students of all ages. The program is eligible for CLP credits but college students should check with their institutions to confirm.

Following the film, Grossman and Spielberg, sister of Steven, will participate in a panel discussion on the film, the archives, the history and its importance in current affairs. The discussion will be moderated by Furman professor Melinda Menzer.

-Randy Moore, managing partner, Crossgate Partners Jim Woodside was also present at the groundbreaking. As the great-nephew of founder John T. Woodside, he represented the family. He told the audience that he is grateful to see this part of the Woodside legacy preserved.

“It really means a lot to me, to see [the mill] being preserved and not torn down,” he said. “The family’s been here since 1784. I’m the fifth generation in Greenville county. I’m proud that my family had a part in the development of the county.”

In 1927, the mill was the largest in the world with 110,000 spindles under one roof, according to Don Koonce, a local businessman and an authority on Greenville’s once-booming textile industry.

Please Join Us for the 9th Annual structure in the Woodside community, towering over the nearly 300 other buildings which were part of the mill village, according to the South Carolina Department of Archives and History.

From the steel trusses above to the original wood floors below, care has been taken to preserve the mill’s historical architecture wherever possible. Ken Betsch, the project’s lead architect from Betsch Associates Inc., said the firm is working closely with the state Historical Preservation Office, checking in even before removing paint from the walls. The mill’s former front-office building will now be the leasing office for the apartment complex. The former boiler room, the energy source at the heart of the mill, will be refitted as a gym and a conference space. Betsch even mentioned hopes for some of the other buildings on the property, like a former scrap warehouse, to be turned into a co-op grocery or a local brewery.

“Our design allows us to preserve a great deal of the original Woodside Mill and create a place to enjoy for another 100 years,” says Randy Moore, managing

THE CANDIDATES: IN THEIR OWN WORDS

District 1 Republican candidate John DeWorken

District 1 Democratic candidate Matt Johnson

n story by JOHN DEWORKEN, Republican | photo PROVIDED

n story by MATT JOHNSON, Democrat | photo PROVIDED

The Greenville we know and love today is marked with tree-lined streets, children playing in our parks, adults strolling through our neighborhoods, abundant art all around us and a vibrant downtown that is the envy of other communities. Business and commerce are robust, where innovation and entrepreneurism thrive and local small businesses fill our commercial corridors and Main Street.

Greenville’s unique quality of life is attracting more and more people to move here each day. However, as a result of that growth, issues must be addressed so that we do not make the same mistakes that cities like Atlanta have made.

My name is John DeWorken and I am running for Greenville City Council because I have a plan to ensure the Greenville we know and love today will be a Greenville our children and grandchildren will love tomorrow.

In order to do that, I am committed to focusing on championing neighborhoods, approaching growth in a balanced manner and supporting a strong economy and small businesses.

Greenville is at a tipping point. Development and traffic are increasing while affordable housing options and diversity decrease.

Our neighborhoods, local parks and community centers need an independent voice they can trust on City Council. A voice for improved public transportation and affordable housing options for all income levels is critical. I am the Democratic candidate for Greenville City Council’s District 1 and I am that voice. I ask for your vote on Nov. 5.

I was raised in Greenville, attended our public schools and returned after college and law school. I recently served two full terms on the City of Greenville Planning Commission, including as Chair, where we made recommendations to City Council on zoning and annexation issues, reviewed new subdivisions and oversaw comprehensive planning. On the City’s Infill Task Force in 2015-2016, I studied and made recommendations to City Council about infill projects, their impact on existing neighborhoods, and related ordinances. I am a shareholder at Ogletree Deakins law firm and chair the South Carolina Bar’s Employment and Labor Law Section. My work with the City and legal training uniquely qualify me to understand and solve the many challenges we have with growth and urban planning.

I have remained committed to bettering the Greenville community through volunteer work. Currently the most fulfilling work I am doing is as a steering committee member with the Greenville Homeless Alliance, which works to combat local homelessness and increase housing options for at-risk families and individuals. With rapid growth, declining diversity and escalating costs, housing must be addressed at all socioeconomic levels. Addressing homelessness and our lack of affordable housing is a necessity, not a luxury. We can do this through collaboration with service providers and philanthropies, better use of available public land and buildings, financial incentives for private development of affordable housing and improved zoning ordinances and permitting processes to incentivize a mix of housing options.

In addition, we have chronically underfunded our public transportation infrastructure. Although Greenlink funding was recently increased, more must be done to

BALANCED GROWTH How do we avoid making the same mistakes that Atlanta made years ago?

How do we avoid suffocating the very people who live in our neighborhoods with ill-advised growth? How do we avoid high-density overdevelopment?

Balance is key. With years of experience taking on tough issues, I will make sure growth compliments our neighborhoods. I will work to find traffic solutions and implement tougher standards for apartment developments. I will use my experience in public transportation policy and as vice chair of the Greenville Transit Authority to support housing and affordability issues. And, I will continue championing our commercial corridors to ensure they don’t become industrial corridors.

Most importantly, I will work with others to ensure growth is balanced.

CHAMPIONING NEIGHBORHOODS A charming neighborhood is like your health. If you ignore it, it will go away.

And, as former neighborhood association president, I fully understand that neighborhoods must be championed at City Hall.

On Council, I will work to slow cars down, create safer crosswalks for our kids, fund more sidewalks, support law enforcement to keep us safe, discourage overcrowded development and invest in our neighborhood parks and green spaces.

My learning curve on these issues is small. Most recently, we fought off an ill-advised storage facility; we pushed the City to improve the North Main Rotary Park; and, we are working to improve pedestrian safety along major corridors.

SMALL BUSINESSES AND A STRONG ECONOMY I have spent my professional life advocating for good jobs and small businesses. As such, I understand the role local government can play in creating the right environment to promote a strong economy. As a member of City Council, I will support small businesses, be a strong voice for entrepreneurship and innovation and work to recruit professional jobs to Greenville.

My name is John DeWorken and I ask for your vote on Nov. 5.

offset traffic congestion, minimize parking issues, provide access to affordable housing and limit environmental concerns given growth predictions for Greenville. Investment in public transportation yields significant increases in job creation and economic returns. Greenville can benefit further from purchasing zero-emission electric buses made in Greenville by Proterra, Inc., which provides job to citizens of Greenville.

I am committed to doing more for our community centers, local parks, and our iconic Reedy River. I support the proposed Unity Park while recognizing the importance of offsetting gentrification and displacement of nearby neighborhoods. But I am also committed to maintaining City Hall’s focus on funding and supporting our local parks and community centers. The condition of Croftstone Park, Hessie Morrah Park in the Overbrook community, and the North Main Rotary Park in my neighborhood, are unacceptable to me. I will ensure our neighborhood parks have a trusted voice at City Hall.

Finally, my decision to run for City Council came after a tree fell on the Bobby Pearse Community Center, a memorial to the WWII veteran funded by family and friends. The hole in the roof has been covered by a tarp since May 2018, evidence it is not a priority at City Hall. Many children benefited from the diversity and quality programming provided at its summer and after-school programs. The neighborhood deserves a community space for meetings and other programming. I will ensure City Council restores Bobby Pearse, but I will also fight for other community centers and neighborhood parks that deserve our attention and support.

John DeWorken (Republican) and Matt Johnson (Democrat) are both running to be the representative for District 1.

THE CANDIDATES: IN THEIR OWN WORDS

Incumbent at-large Republican representative George Fletcher

At-large Democratic candidate Dorothy Dowe

n story by GEORGE FLETCHER, Republican | photo PROVIDED

n story by DOROTHY DOWE, Democrat | photo PROVIDED

The keynote speaker at a recent Smart City Conference opened his talk with, “The answer is money, what is the question.” He closed with “In 10 years, all of this will be as common as the flush toilet or the cellphone.

However, the interim 10 years will be chaos.”

He said this because the smart city technologies will affect almost everything we do. Think about the smart phone in 2007.

Who would have believed that in a few short years, you could carry access to the world’s knowledge in your shirt pocket? Tech giant Cisco believes the application of these technologies will be a $30 trillion market.

In political campaigns, we often talk about specific issues such as affordable housing, public transportation and traffic.

For government, these issues are 1) tied to a budget process and 2) far more complex than can be discussed in campaign literature. I am very proud of the Council’s accomplishments over the last four years and the fact that the overwhelming majority of votes were 7 to 0.

We are now in a new election cycle and areas have been identified that need improvement. Clearly, we need more affordable housing. We need improved public transportation and better traffic management.

But now we have a new tool in our tool bag – smart city technologies. Some examples: AFFORDABLE HOUSING: In 2017, City Council set up the Housing Fund and committed $3.5 million initially plus land near Unity Park. The idea was to incent the private sector to build affordable housing. The Board also hired a nationally recognized expert, Brian Brown, from Columbus OH as Executive Director. A major opportunity is evolving Smart City solutions. Homes do not have to be traditionally stick built. There are new models in tiny homes, prefabricated smart homes and container homes. What makes smaller footprint homes possible are multi-function rooms where beds, tables or other daily uses can be moved out of the way when not in use. A company in Austin, TX has just announced a 3D printed home.

They can print a 350 sq. foot home in 24 hours and are working on a 2,000 sq. foot home. The Housing Fund will work with the City and County housing authorities to set up models of these new technologies.

LEADERSHIP DECISIONS ABOUT WHO IS ON THE COUNCIL BELONG TO YOU

CONGESTION MANAGEMENT: In the past six months, people can drive Laurens Road from I-85 to Washington Street with few if any stops. This is due to centralized traffic control. Instead of changing the timing at each individual stoplight, the lights are connected and controlled from a central point.

The next step will be cameras that read the traffic and adjust the signal timing based on volume and direction of the traffic. No cross traffic, no signal change.

PARKING GARAGES: By next summer, all of the city parking garages will be equipped with technology to read license plates entering and leaving the garage.

The system will know which licenses are monthly parkers and which are short term. It will know how many cars are in the garage and let people know on their cell phones how many spaces are available. If you choose, your credit card will be stored and the system will automatically charge it. It will know when there is no charge for parking.

There are comparable applications in public safety, public and personal transportation, energy management and storm water control. Literally every area of local government will be impacted. The City now has a multidepartment task force that is not only looking at applications, but also concerns such as security, privacy and the inevitable unintended consequences of new technology.

As the opening page of Max Heller’s Vision 2005 said, “If we can only get a clear sense, a clear conception, a clear vision of the road ahead, My God, what a fantastic time to be alive.”

We all know that for Greenville, the next four years matter. Perhaps as never before the decisions made by Greenville City Council will be more numerous, more complicated and have more direct impact on our quality of life. Which is why we need to elect an at-large council person committed to doing the hard work of keeping all of us involved.

A person who attends council meetings and neighborhood and commission meetings in order to consider the interests of both business and neighborhoods. And who understands maximizing our potential does not require sacrificing our values.

Perhaps different from my opponent, I believe City Council should be able to focus on residents as well as tourists, that Greenvillians want to create prosperity that also generates philanthropy and that Greenville has the capacity to build pathways out of poverty as well as pathways in the park. I believe our best work is yet to be done.

When I proudly say “Yeah, that Greenville,” I’m referencing our city’s commitment to community. I’m talking about us. Which is why I will champion these key priorities:

1. AFFORDABLE HOUSING: I support funding housing for families earning between $15,000 and $55,000 per year and will champion the effort to address our deficit of over 2,500 units. This income level includes professions we all value that are critical to a thriving community, such as our teachers, police officers and service workers. Additionally, support for affordable housing is essential to addressing our growing concerns surrounding gentrification, as well as our challenges for those experiencing homelessness, including the over 1,100 students in our school district who are currently experiencing homelessness.

2. TRANSPORTATION: This is one of the major barriers to workforce entry for our citizens who do not have their own means of transportation. I support the phased approach of the Greenlink Transit Development Plan which includes recommendations for both short term and long term

improvements, and the necessary funding to implement this plan. Additionally, our traffic challenges serve as a threat to our quality of life and I believe we need to stop talking about traffic as a neighborhood issue and start addressing traffic as a city council priority.

3. MANAGED GROWTH: On council, I will work to help steer and adopt our comprehensive plan, known as GVL 2040, and ensure that it has teeth in it, that will help us manage our growth wisely and will ensure Greenville’s success for the long term. Growth in Greenville is necessary for us to progress. We all want to be a city where citizens thrive and businesses invest.

Over the last 12 months I have made every effort to interact meaningfully with as many voters as possible. You have expressed a growing concern about the pace of change around us, the decision-making criteria that is driving the change and the sense you have of being left out of those decisions.

On Nov. 5th many of you only have one chance to affect the decision-making body of our city. You can choose me instead of my opponent who has had four years to address your concerns about change and communication and failed to do so. Leadership decisions about who is on Council belong to you.

Every Greenville city resident gets to vote for an at-large candidate on Nov. 5.

It is a citywide office charged with representing all of us. I’d be honored to have your vote.

George Fletcher (Republican) and Dorothy Dowe (Democrat) are both running for the City Council's at-large Representative.

Near-tragedy gives couple first-person insight into the true value of donating blood People give blood for a variety of reasons. In one instance, a near-tragedy gave local residents Kristen and Brent Odom a deep and personal appreciation for the value of what is often described as the gift of life.

Kristen’s and Brent’s story began at the happiest of times. Residents of Taylors, the Odoms, in the fall of 2017, were excitedly awaiting the birth of their daughter.

Kristen Odom says her pregnancy was unremarkable.

“I had a pretty great, healthy pregnancy,” Kristen, who was 29, recalls now. “I exercise all the time and I’m really pretty fit, and there was no indication there would be any complication.”

Kristen went into labor and went to a local hospital at 3 a.m. Aug. 29, where she says she experienced a “perfectly easy labor.”

Caroline Odom was born at 5:30 p.m. Aug. 29 with no complications, Kristen says.

“She was perfectly healthy, and in my mind, we were good,” she says. “They told me she had an Apgar score of 8 or 9, and I knew in my mind that that was a good thing, so I just thought, ‘hey, we’re great!’”

But while their new daughter was great, Kristen was not. She was experiencing bouts of dizziness and vision problems, and as the doctors and nurses began to work more intensely on her, she remembers mainly a sense of confusion.

“My vision was still off, and they brought [Caroline] to me and I held her for seven minutes, and I just started feeling more and more dizzy,” she says.

Within minutes, Kristen says, the medical team had called an obstetrics code because of her deteriorating condition.

“I remember hearing them call the code and the room number, and I remember … thinking that’s my room number,” she says, “and I thought ‘something’s going horribly wrong. They’re calling the code for me.’”

Kristen Odom was bleeding so profusely that her blood couldn’t clot. She was taken to an operating room, where a team would work on her for hours.

During that time, she says, she had six IVs that provided her with life-giving whole blood, fresh-frozen plasma and platelets. Those life-saving blood products were provided through The Blood Connection, the locally based blood supplier for all Upstate hospitals.

Although she didn’t require surgery, Kristen would spend the next three days in intensive care with a nurse at her side. All totaled, she says, she received around 25 units of blood products. The loss of blood had wreaked havoc on her body, including the loss of some kidney function. It would be several days before Kristen was allowed to go home, and she says she has only recently felt completely recovered.

“I had to have physical therapy to be able to regain my strength,” she says. “I left the hospital being able to walk, which was a huge blessing. But even that was

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // NOVEMBER 1

It’s easy to donate blood through a process just to work up to, because I was so weak. It took me several months for my kidneys to get better, and my doctors told me to give myself two years to feel fully recovered.”

With Caroline’s second birthday recently passed, Kristen says she does finally feel like her old self.

“I feel fully recovered. I’m able to go run 30 minutes and I feel great, I feel strong,” she says. “I’m chasing a toddler!”

Since his wife’s ordeal, Brent Odom has made it a point to donate blood. Brent says he had donated blood for years – first in college and then, as a teacher and principal, at school blood drives – but never considered himself to be a regular donor.

Then he learned how much blood had been needed to save his wife’s life.

“It was probably when we were checking out and going home from the hospital that we learned (how much blood Kristen had received),” he says. “It really re-energized and revitalized my wanting to pay it forward by being a regular blood donor, which I have been, every eight weeks, usually, depending on my schedule. Knowing that it is such a lifesaver re-energized me to pay it forward.”

In addition, both of the Odoms now help The Blood Connection spread the word about the importance of donating blood.

Kristen says she will always appreciate the selfless donations of the people in her community whose blood kept her alive in 2017.

“I feel like I owe a massive thank you to everyone who takes time out of their day to donate blood,” she says.

THE CANDIDATES: ON THE ISSUES

City Council candidates ON THE ISSUES

n story by STAFF | photos PROVIDED

The four city council candidates running in contested races recently spoke to the Journal about their take on the issues and what qualifies them for office. There are two contenders vying for Amy Ryberg Doyle’s District 1 seat: Republican John DeWorken and Democrat Matt Johnson. Incumbent George Fletcher, a Republican, is facing Democrat Dorothy Dowe to be the council’s at-large representative.

JOHN DEWORKEN

NEIGHBORHOODS NEED A VOICE I think that we all agree that some of the key issues that we’re facing here in Greenville really center around growth, and how we’re going to grow and how do we want to look in the next 10 or 20 years? …

I think we need to swing that pendulum back more toward neighborhoods and neighborhoods having a strong voice at City Council.”

“The whole point of running is being a voice for your constituents,” says John DeWorken, who is running as a Republican for City Council District 1. If elected, DeWorken says he’ll have an open-door policy like he did as president of the North Main Community Association, as vice-chairman of the Greenville Transit Authority and other community roles. DeWorken and his wife Sunnie own the government relations and advocacy firm, The Sunnie & DeWorken Group.

Matt Johnson says he’s never run for office. Not even student council. So what prompted the local attorney to run for the District 1 City Council seat? “I’m running now because of Bobby Pearse Community Center and concerns that City Hall’s not addressing that situation.

If they’re not addressing that situation, there’s a lot outside of District 1 or outside my neighborhood that’s not getting addressed,” Johnson said. Johnson, his wife GraceAnna and their two children live on W. Earle Street.

• Rotary Park in the North Main area: “On day one, we’re going to get to work.

We’ve got a kudzu city down there.”

• B obby Pearse Center: “And then you’ve got the Bobby Pearse Center, which just looks abysmal over there. That’s got to get taken care of.”

• Traffic: “The city has got to get proactive on handling traffic. So we don’t feel suffocated ourselves within the neighborhoods. And we can do that a number of different ways.”

ON THE ISSUES

VIDEO AVAILABLE ONLINE

ON THE ISSUES CITY & COUNTY MUST PARTNER The reality is the city and the county have to have similar priorities in some respects. We know that with respect to public transportation, and affordable housing, the county is going to have to deal with that issue, just like the city’s dealing with that issue. And the best way to do it is to do it together rather than the county dealing with it one way and the city dealing with it a totally different way. We get more bang for our buck if we work together.”

PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICERS SHOULD BE PRIORITY • Diverse force & diversity training: “I can’t help but think that if our police officers had more racial diversity, and in addition had more training on dealing with diversity, they can do a better job policing our streets.

• Equip the officers: “To me, we should never have gotten to the point where somebody has to go to eBay to get replacement parts; we should make sure our police have the communication equipment necessary to respond to emergencies.”

GEORGE FLETCHER REPUBLICAN RUNNING FOR COUNCIL'S AT-LARGE REP. “One thing about local politics, local government is you can solve problems and you can feel satisfied of solving problems,” George Fletcher says.

And even before becoming the city’s At-Large councilman, Fletcher was a leader. He owned his engineering firm, chaired the Chamber of Commerce, chaired the committee that brought Fluor Field, coordinated the Greenville Vision 2025 process and more. Fletcher and his wife Sarah live on Rock Creek Drive.

For example, we got that whole strip along the south side at Unity. You can make zoning overlays and you can protect it for mixed income housing … There are a lot of people that own houses there.

And by increasing rent, they’re essentially pushing them out."

THE FILMORE - 3BR/2.5BA

FIND INNOVATIVE APPROACHES TO AFFORDABLE HOUSING: • Incentivize developers: “The idea is the developers can make a whole lot more money out of high-end housing than they can low income housing. And so the idea is to provide the buck in the form of land or the form of incentives or loans. So we've got the Housing Trust Fund that we can give that land to and they can leverage it.”

• Incorporate “Missing Middle” Housing: “We really do need to loosen up our standards on that because there is a great way to intermix affordable housing with market-rate housing.”

• Identify the affordable housing range: “I just think it’s much broader. I think It’s not just the 30% problem, it is the workforce. It’s the whole range.”

ON THE ISSUES

|

TRANSPORTATION/TRAFFIC

DOROTHY DOWE DEMOCRAT RUNNING FOR COUNCIL'S AT-LARGE REP. Dorothy Dowe, the Democratic candidate for the council’s At-Large seat, has been investing in Greenville since moving here three decades ago. She’s started two businesses and has been active with her children’s schools, her family’s church and numerous civic organizations. Dowe believes her next role should be as a public servant. “We are at a tipping point of some kind. And to manage that going forward, because I love Greenville so much, I do want the A-team on board. There’s no doubt in my mind that for this seat, I’m the A-team,” Dowe says.

WHO COULD BENEFIT FROM AFFORDABLE HOUSING?

ON THE ISSUES GREENVILLE’S BIGGEST ISSUE? AFFORDABLE HOUSING I like to define it because what’s affordable to one person and another person and another person varies obviously, dependent on their income. I define affordable housing as $15,000 to $55,000 of income a year, gross, for the family … That is the range set by the Greenville Housing Trust Fund.”

THE AVERDINE - 4BR/3BA

THE TUXEDO - 3BR/3BA

• Service industry: “Service workers, especially in the downtown area, are challenged both with parking costs and that’s if they have a core transportation into the city, and then how to make a livable wage if they are paying for their parking.”

• Teachers: “You’ve heard of the teacher shortage crisis; the city has a role to play in providing affordable housing to help our school district recruit and retain teachers if they can find an affordable place to live.”

• Law enforcement: “Our first responders and police officers cannot afford to live in the city and, quite frankly, who would not want to have a police officer living beside them?”

What started as a Cherokee Indian trail and trading path, situated just above the Reedy River, would eventually become one of the most desirable areas in Greenville.

On December 8, 1853 the community gathered to welcome the first train into the Augusta Street Depot and hence the Augusta Road area was born.

Named Augusta Road in the 1830s when it became the main route between Greenville and Augusta, GA it would become one of the most important areas in Greenville's growth.

The 1850s saw big changes in the area, the addition of the train depot, the opening of the campus of Furman University and Greenville's only physician

A mighty highway, forty feet wide... set up shop. The changes and amenities attracted some of Greenville's most well-to-do citizens and stately mansions began to be built throughout the community.

The Civil War brought more passengers, cargo and news to the Augusta Road Depot, according to the Augusta Road Business Association (ARBA). During the Civil War names of the deceased and wounded were called aloud throughout the day.

New Kids BLOCK on the

This year’s Open Studios will showcase 158 artists in 102 locations and it’s all happening in just one weekend. How can it all be done?

With practice and the fact that Open Studios has been around for 17 years.

Greenville has proven time and time again to be an outstanding community that fully embraces the arts. Whether you are a fan of painting, pottery, metal

work or another form of art, there is surely something to see.

The artists and studios listed below are fairly new to the game. Each is focused on a different form or style of art and everyone is excited to showcase their work. Every artist involved has put their heart and soul into Open Studios, so while looking at the art is acceptable, feeling it is preferable.

GREENVILLE OPEN STUDIOS: NOV. 9-10 For more information see the 2019 Open Studios catalog in this week's issue of the Greenville Journal.

New faces join this year's Open Studios event.

JHA WORKS METAL

A

s a first time participant, Jason Anderson is excited to showcase cap handles for breweries in this year's Open Studios.

Anderson is one of five blacksmiths in Greenville who does ornamental blacksmithing with functional fabrications. “I used to do woodworking for many years but fell in love with connecting and reshaping metal,” said Anderson.

Mentored by a local blacksmith, Anderson learned how to view mistakes as just redirections. “Some of the best mistakes I’ve made enhanced my creativity,” said Anderson.

In his studio, JHA WORKS, Anderson can fully express his creativity and has made the space I believe in artistic his own. “My studio freedom, but if a client is 1,300 square feet has a specific idea then filled with big boy toys I can play with,” AnI go with that.

ent wants. “I believe in artistic freedom, but if a client has a specific idea then I go with that,” said Anderson. “I always tell my clients that it is their concept, but my creation.”

Anderson finds inspiration in nature, viewing it as overlooked by the general public. “It is everywhere and commonly viewed but an overlooked sight of the human eye,” said Anderson.

The exposure from Open Studios and getting to meet new people is an exciting feeling for Anderson. “There are going to be awesome artists in all aspects,” he said.

HOLLOWED EARTH POTTERY CERAMICS

S

arah and Mark Batory are an artsy power couple. The Batorys met at Bob Jones University and married in 2009; they recently celebrated their 10th anniversary. Mark Batory said he took ceramics classes at Bob Jones but wasn’t planning on making it a career.

Meanwhile, Sarah Batory earned a business degree; she said Mark introduced her to ceramics. Since then, she’s dealt with the business side of Hollowed Earth Pottery as well as making pottery of her own.

We teach people's hands. There's just such an interesting relationship between people and their hands.

It's so cool: when people come in we teach them to relax their hands in order to have control of their hands. So many people come in and talk about how therapeutic pottery is.”

-Mark Batory, Hollowed Earth Pottery This year, the Batorys are participating in Open Studios for the first time.

The couple opened their studio last year and missed the registration deadline for

Open Studios — this year, though, they entered and couldn’t be more excited.

“We love the experience of working in clay,” Mark Batory said. “We draw inspiration from that experience.”

Mark Batory talked about witnessing the evolution of students as they became more comfortable working and creating with their hands.

“We teach people’s hands,” he said.

“There’s just such an interesting relationship between people and their

hands. It’s so cool, when people come in we teach them to relax their hands in order to have control of their hands.

So many people come in and talk about how therapeutic pottery is.”

Mark Batory said it’s exciting to see everyone from little kids to doctors to CEOs and engineers come into the studio; when they start working with their hands, he explained, a whole new level of creativity opens up.

“We watch first-timers fall in love quickly. People figure out they can actually do it. And that’s empowering,” he said.

“We want people to see the continuity between what we create and what we provide for other people to create,” Sarah Batory added. “So we’re really looking forward to showing people that clay doesn’t have to be this really high-class, artsy thing. Basically at the end of the day if you want to do it, you can do it.”

MELISSA ANDERSON

G

reenville native Melissa Anderson is participating in Open Studios for the sixth time; however, she said she is familiar with the event history, having first participated more than 15 years ago.

A lawyer turned artist, Anderson got into art after having her third child. “I took an art class and found other artists through workshops to study with,” she explained.

Now, she has a studio space right in her own backyard. “When my house was being built, there was also a garage with a studio space above being built too,” she said.

“My studio is layered and made to feel authentic.

I salvaged cabinets and flooring from

HOME STUDIO PAINT Habitat for Humanity to help make the space my own.”

Anderson’s style is indicative of the South and very home and garden. She draws inspiration from landscapes, gardens and nature in general: “I have flowers planted in my yard that I will use as inspiration.”

There is always a different stage of a painting going on in her studio, sometimes having five to six pieces going on at once.

“I am always looking for how the paint is sitting on the canvas,” she said. “When working with oils, you have to wait for it to dry so I will then start working on another piece.”

Generally, Anderson said, she starts with something to paint, whether it be a flower from her yard or a piece of furniture in her studio.

“My work isn’t about just painting something as it is; it acts as the inspiration and the jumping point,” she said. “It gets to a point where it isn’t about the subject anymore.”

es. “This is a positive, community wide event that shows that artists open their arms up to showcase art,” she said.

BUILT BY JAY CERAMICS

ay Owens seeks artistic inspiration in anything and everything around him.

“I don’t really look to one area [for inspiration],” said Owens, a ceramics artist and painter based in Travelers Rest. For Owens, art is about simply interpreting what he sees around him. Owens described his artistic process as driving a car down a road and seeing things pass by.

“As you pass by you’ll notice a shoe lying in a gutter or a tire lying on the sidewalk, or look at that person who seems to be having a hard time in life and struggling, or look over there at that brandnew fancy car,” Owens explained. “It’s recognizing what I’m seeing and having that open awareness.”

Owens grew up in Westminster in nearby Oconee County, and visited the Greenville Art Museum regularly as a child. He went on to study art at Winthrop University and Utah University. He’s participated in four Open Studios; he said he usually skips a year or two between each event.

Owens describes his studio space as making sense out of chaos.

“You know, there’s stuff everywhere all the time,” he said. “When people come to visit [during Open Studios] there won’t

be, but typically there’s drawings everywhere, there’s sculptures that are waiting to be fired, things that are drying.”

Even over the phone, Owens comes across as laid-back and receptive. He said he observes his work and watches it grow and change.

“I take things and change them; I just kind of keep working with similar images,” he said. “It’s really being aware through the working process of how [my art] changes, so instead of looking at [someone else’s work] and saying ‘Oh I want to copy that style for a little while,’ because I’ve been through that and over time you’re constantly influenced by things, lately that hasn’t entered the way I work. If I look at someone else’s work I’ll take it on their terms and not how it relates to me.”

SLEEPING BEAUTY Phyllis Mills Wyeth: A Celebration on view through December 29, 2019

From the late 1960s onward, Phyllis Mills Wyeth (November 13, 1940 – January 14, 2019) was a muse to her husband, artist Jamie Wyeth. The paintings assembled in this traveling exhibition are a memorial tribute to her and reflect her vibrant spirit and love of nature, horses, and her ever-present dogs. Phyllis Wyeth was a noted philanthropist, conservationist, environmentalist, arts supporter, accomplished horsewoman, and a staunch advocate for the rights of those with disabilities.

When you visit the GCMA, you’ll discover a carefully curated selection of American art, including the world’s largest public collection of watercolors

by Andrew Wyeth and one of the world’s best institutional collections of works by our country’s most acclaimed living artist, Jasper Johns. The museum’s unrivaled Southern Collection highlights a collection of clay vessels created by the enslaved potter David Drake; a selection of sculpture by South Carolina artist Grainger McKoy; and one of the largest collections of paintings by African-American artist William H. Johnson outside the Smithsonian.

METAL YOGA Have you ever wondered when someone was finally going to say, “It’s time” and combine heavy metal music with yoga? Well, I’ve got some good news for you: Charles Sikorski has done it.

Thanks to Sikorski, an Upstate yoga instructor, you can go to the Radio Room in Greenville at 6 p.m. Tuesdays and aim for inner peace while songs by Anthrax, Slayer, Ozzy Osbourne, Pantera and other metal gods accompany you on your journey.

a human being, you can combine the two to find a happy place.”

As odd a pairing as it seems, Sikorski may just have a point here; transcendence is transcendence, regardless of how or where you find it.

“I think it’s very similar to being in a mosh pit,” he says, somewhat surprisingly. “If you think about the experience of being in a mosh pit, knowing that any time you could fall down and get hurt, or the experience of being one with your breath and holding a pose that you didn’t think you could hold, I think there is that feeling of transcendence in both of those moments.”

And what better place for a non-traditional yoga class than a non-traditional venue?

“I went to Radio Room about four months ago to see a show, and I decided to talk to the owners and ask them if they wanted to try it,” Sikorski says. “And they found some empty spaces in the schedule and said, ‘Let’s try it out.’”

Sikorski says that he typically uses around 15 different metal songs for each class and changes up the playlist from week to week.

He also structures the classes based on the level of experience of those who attend, so there’s some — ahem — flexibility for both beginners and advanced students.

“I’ve had brand-new beginners in class, and I’ve had some experienced practitioners,” he says. “I try to gear it towards making everyone happy.”

The Metal Yoga classes have been in session for about a month, and Sikorski says the attendance is improving each week; in fact, there’s only one thing he’d change about the way the classes are going.

“I’m thinking about changing the time to a bit later than 6 p.m., because a lot of metalheads don’t get out of work until around 6,” he says with a laugh. “Other than that, for having a brand-new class in a new venue that’s a non-yoga studio, I think it’s going really well.”

Sikorski began teaching metal yoga classes three years ago while living in Connecticut.

He’d loved classic metal music since he was a teenager, but becoming a father had changed his tastes somewhat, whether he wanted them to change or not.

“When you have kids, you listen to music they want to listen to,” he says with a laugh.

So it makes sense that after Sikorski started taking his kids to yoga classes, he fell in love with it too, to the extent that he ended up becoming a yoga teacher. The idea for metal yoga classes came shortly afterwards.

“I wanted to combine my two loves together,” he says.

Sikorski says that metal music and yoga are not as diametrically opposed as one might think.

“Music is all vibrations,” he says. “It’s sound. And I think that with yoga, in essence, the vibraNext session: Tuesday, Nov. 5 | 6pm tions of the body are linked up to the music, and if this One free drink included afterwards. music links to how you feel as

Punk-rockers Go Betty Go roar back into Greenville n story by VINCENT HARRIS | photo PROVIDED

By 2010, as far as drummer Aixa (pronounced I-EEEK-SA) Vilar was concerned, the band was done.

“When my sister first quit, I never imagined we would reconcile,” she says.

“We were travelling all the time and living like gypsies, and when you do that, certain conflicts arise. If you could just go home and cool off and get back together a few days later, maybe that would’ve been best for everybody. But when you’re on the road full time, it becomes a very stressful situation. During the peak of all that negativity happening around us, I never imagined that that could be worked out.”

But time has a way of healing all wounds, and the original lineup of Go Betty Go regrouped for what was supposed to be a one-off reunion show back in 2012. But that one-time gig has grown into seven years and an EP aptly titled “Reboot,” and Go Betty Go is still going.

“Everyone had such a good time coming back together to do that one show,” Aixa Vilar says, “and people seemed to want to come out and see the band again, so it made us happy that people were still interested. Since we saw that was happening, we decided we would do it as long as everyone feels good about it. We’re a fully It feels like things come full circle functioning band again, when you come up with an idea, work we’re working on new music and we’re hoping it out with your bandmates, create to put something out something together and perform it for next year.”

That’s not to say that people to enjoy.” the band has gone back to -Aixa Vilar, drummer, Go Betty Go their brutal touring schedSometimes the best punk-rock bands are like the best punk rock songs: fast, furious and not necessarily built for longevity.

That initially seemed to be the case with Los Angeles’ Go Betty Go, which took off like a three-chord meteor back in 2000 and steadily gained momentum through the middle of the decade. The quartet released a jittery, full-throttle EP called “Worst Enemy” in 2004 and then, fueled by Nicolette Vilar’s soulful sneer of a voice, her sister Aixa Vilar’s propulsive drumming, bassist Michelle Rangel’s relentless groove and guitarist Betty Cisneros’ unbridled roar, their debut full-length album “Nothing Is More” followed in 2005.

The band scored slots on two editions of the popular multi-band Warped tour and played the prestigious, ultrahip South By Southwest convention in Austin, Texas, and they seemed primed to go a lot further. But Go Betty Go ran out of “go” in the mid-2000s; Nicolette Vilar quit the band abruptly after becoming burned out by relentless touring, and though they tried to stick to the grind with replacement members, the band never really regained momentum, becoming less and less active over time.

ule, though. They’ve decided that when it comes to playing shows, less is more.

“We don’t tour as much as we used to,” Vilar says. “We’ve been a band so long and it’s such a grind that we tend to do smaller runs where we’ll fly out and do a few shows and then make our way back home. People have families, and their family lives need to be a little more normal; you miss out on a lot of things if you’re out on the road nine months out of the year. So in order to keep sane and create a balance, you do a shorter run of shows.”

Go Betty Go is including Greenville in their latest short run; they’ll play a show Sunday at the Radio Room in Greenville. And as long as they’re enjoying themselves, Go Betty Go’s members are still in it for the long haul.

PAUL'S PICK

Tchivzhel returns to a work of tragedy and triumph n story by PAUL HYDE | photo PROVIDED

GREENVILLE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA: “LOVE, DRAMA, TRIUMPH!" SATURDAY, NOV. 2 | 8:00PM SUNDAY, NOV. 3 | 3:00PM PEACE CENTER Gustav Mahler’s Fifth Symphony is a work of tragedy and triumph.

Perhaps it’s no surprise that Edvard Tchivzhel, a Soviet defector, chose the monumental piece to conduct when he returned to post-Soviet Russia in 2003 to lead his old orchestra, the Saint Petersburg (formerly Leningrad) Philharmonic.

The Fifth Symphony seemed an ideal reflection of the dark days of the past (for both Tchivzhel and Russia) but also of a brighter present and future.

“It’s a very special piece for me,” said Tchivzhel, the longtime music director of the Greenville Symphony.

Tchivzhel returns to Mahler’s Fifth Symphony this weekend with the Greenville Symphony Orchestra at the Peace Center for two concerts, 8 p.m.

Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday.

Almost 100 musicians will be on stage for the symphony, composed in 1905 and appropriately nicknamed “The Giant.” The 70-minute work is the only piece on the program, although it will be divided by an intermission.

A showpiece for orchestra, the symphony spotlights a number of solo instrumentalists.

TRAGEDY OVERCOME BY LOVE

Mahler was the most revealing of composers, and the Fifth Symphony was born of two important events in the composer’s life, Tchivzhel said.

Mahler’s chronic health problems led to a frightening near-death experience in 1901.

Later that year, however, Mahler recovered

$19-$76 PEACECENTER.ORG and met the woman who would become his wife, Alma Schindler.

“It was the beginning of a great romance,” Tchivzhel said.

The symphony’s heartfelt fourth-movement Adagietto, Mahler’s single best-known piece, was composed as a love letter to Alma.

The meltingly lyrical movement is written only for strings and harp.

“It is one of the most touching and sublime pieces of music ever written,” Tchivzhel said.

The first two movements of the work, however, represent the tragic side of the equation: The symphony opens with a gloomy funeral march, followed by an intensely dramatic outpouring of despair.

But Mahler is setting the stage for a triumphant conclusion.

Tchivzhel summed it up: “Tragedy is overcome by love and a celebration of life. Like much of Mahler, it’s full of extremes.”

A CLOSE CONNECTION

The symphony was a favorite of Tchivzhel’s teacher, legendary Leningrad Philharmonic director Yevgeny Mravinsky. For Tchivzhel, it’s another close connection to the work.

Tchivzhel noted that many great composers were at their best in their fifth symphonies. He mentioned Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, Prokofiev — and, of course, Mahler.

“The number 5 is perhaps a magic number,” he said.

PRESENTING SPONSOR

Kathleen Turner’s cabaret show “Finding My Voice” earned rave reviews in London and New York.

Now the legendary actress with the famously smoky voice is bringing a revised version of the show to Greenville’s Peace Center on Nov. 5 before taking it to Chicago and back to New York.

“I think of Greenville as my out-oftown tryouts,” she quipped, speaking on the phone from her home in New York.

The show is an onstage memoir, with Turner offering anecdotes from her stage and screen career, and crooning standards from the Great American Songbook.

Accompanied by a trio, Turner sings such songs as “Let’s Fall in Love,” “Brother, Can You Spare a Dime?” and “On the Street Where You Live.”

“The songs highlight what I’m trying to say with the story,” Turner said.

“It’s probably two-thirds talking and one-third singing. It’s a full theatrical evening. I love to tell stories and talk about some of the work I’ve done and about some of the commitments and passions in my life.”

Reviewing Turner’s show in London, Claire Armitstead of the Guardian said, “She owns the music. She is magnificent, this battered star with her leonine voice, which unites the personal and the political, taking possession of standards that may have been sung better but never more meaningfully.”

HOLLYWOOD STAR

Turner got her start in such films as “Romancing the Stone” and “Prizzi’s Honor,” each of which earned her a Golden Globe Award. Her other movies include “Body Heat,” “Peggy Sue Got Married” and “War of the Roses.” She also supplied the distinctive sultry voice for Jessica Rabbit in “Who Framed Roger Rabbit.”

The songs highlight what I’m trying to say with the story.”

-Kathleen Turner, actress Turner has a long list of Broadway plays to her credit as well but never sang in a show until relatively recently.

“When I first came to New York, all the leads were sopranos, and I was never going to be able to do that,” Turner said.

But six years ago, Arena Stage in Washington, D.C. asked her to star in “Mother Courage and Her Children.” “’Mother Courage’ has five songs,” Turner said. “I discovered through ‘Mother Courage’ that I enjoyed the singing. And that evolved into this show.”

Turner put “Finding My Voice” together with director Andy Gale and music director Mark Janas.

The show touches on the good and the bad, including some challenges in Turner’s life, such as her struggles with rheumatoid arthritis.

“It’s a constant factor, but I’m walkin’ and movin’, buddy,” she said.

Her show gets a little political, too. An outspoken activist and longtime board member of People for the American Way, Turner has relished performing another one-woman show, “Red Hot Patriot: The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins,” based on the life of Ivins, the liberal Texas firebrand.

Turner will return to that play at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis right before the presidential election next year. The timing is not by accident.

“I’m going to play her (Ivins) right up until the Election Day, babe,” she said.

what we're SEEING JIM LAUDERDALE & DONNA THE BUFFALO AT THE SPINNING JENNY

On the surface, it might not seem like country singer-songwriter Jim Lauderdale and jam band vets Donna The Buffalo have too much in common, musically speaking.

Dig deeper and you’ll find plenty of common ground. Lauderdale is quite the musical explorer on his own albums, reaching into roots-rock, folk and more.

And Donna The Buffalo can jam all night, but there’s a versatility in its sound that allows members to slip in and out of different genres just as Lauderdale does.

So really, Jim Lauderdale playing with Donna The Buffalo is an evening of adventurous alt-country/roots-rock/Americana from a group of musical kindred spirits.

DONNA THE BUFFALO ATTRACTS ONE OF THE MOST DIVERSE FAN BASES ON THE FESTIVAL CIRCUIT. FANS ARE KNOWN AS "THE HERD."
