Check out vintage toys from the ’70s-’90s during second annual Retro Toy-Con n story by GEORGIA GAY | photos PROVIDED

t’s out with the new and in with the old: Retro-Toy Convention, South Carolina’s only convention dedicated to toys from the '70s to today, is holding its second convention Nov. 23-24 at the Embassy Suites on Verdae Boulevard.

Toy Federation, a local toy shop in Greer owned by Ryan Bonavia, has orchestrated this convention for two years. It is a gathering of toy dealers from around the country in one ballroom, primarily showcasing toys.

“The two-day event will also feature celebrity guests, artists and cosplay,” Bonavia said. “I wanted to run a show that was different than what was already out there.”

Celebrities attending the event include Larry Kenney who voiced Lion-O from the “ThunderCats,” Gregg Berger who voiced Grimlock and Jetfire on various “Transformers,” Felix Silla who appeared in “Return of the Jedi,” “Star Trek,” “Spaceballs” and more.

Before opening his own store four years ago, Bonavia said he was scouring the country for shows that mainly showcased retro-styled toys. Despite extensive travel and research, he couldn’t find anything.

He said that led to his decision to hold his own convention, which started over a year ago.

The convention features 50-60 vendors who feel the same way as Bonavia does.

“This year’s convention is maxed out on vendors, but last year was really tough,” Bonavia said.

The show usually features popular items such as toys from “Star Wars,” “G.I. Joe,” “Transformers” and more.

These vendors are the top toy dealers who killed it the first year of the convention.”

-Ryan Bonavia, owner, Toy Federation “These vendors are top toy dealers who killed it the first year of the convention,” Bonavia said. “They brought in the right demographic that we were hoping for.”

Bonavia said he wants to set a specific tone for this convention. “I want people to feel like they are having a first-class experience,” he said.

Bonavia said the reason for the toy convention’s success is that retro is making a comeback.

“It is hot right now, with ‘80s and ‘90s [toys] being considered retro now,” he said.

Community gathers to address homelessness n story by EVAN PETER SMITH

The cold and windy weather outside seemed only to underline the issue that brought together a group of prominent Greenville residents for a news conference on Friday, Nov. 15.

The Greenville Homeless Alliance met at United Ministries to present its 2019 Report on Homelessness in Greenville County. The findings of the report, which came about as an update to the original 2015 Homelessness White paper, presented a snapshot of the homeless problem in the county over the course of 2019.

At least 3,633 men, women and children experienced homelessness in Greenville County in 2018 through 2019. Of those, more than 1,100 were school age children.

“Look out the window right now,” said Greenville County Schools Superintendent Burke Royster, speaking during the presentation of the report’s findings. “It’s windy, it’s cold and it’s raining. Imagine you’re a third grade student without a home who’s sitting in class. Are you concentrating on the day’s lesson, or are you too preoccupied by the fact that you don’t have any certainty of whether or not you’ll have a warm

The report’s findings rank Greenville County as having the third highest number of persons experiencing homelessness statewide.

It's windy, it's cold and it's raining. Imagine you're a third grade student without a home.”

-Burke Royster, superintendent, Greenville County Schools In order to achieve the group’s goals of making homelessness “brief and rare,” the report outlines five key areas on which to focus.

• Increase housing and exits from homelessness by adding 850 new housing options, with subsidized rent ranging from $250 to $650 per month.

• Reduce barriers by increasing collaboration, creating a sustainable fund to end homelessness, collecting data to measure progress and advocating for affordable childcare options, mental health services and opportunities for previously incarcerated individuals • Strengthen coordinated response by exploring public and private partnerships to implement a single homelessness system of entry and exit county-wide • Support transit by advocating for full funding of Greenville Transit Development Plan through 2023 • Impact policymaking by engaging on policy issues that affect residents experiencing homelessness and housing instability Mayor Knox White and Greenville County Council Chairman Butch Kirvin signed a proclamation designating Friday, Nov. 15 as “Greenville Homeless Alliance Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Day.” Visit GreenvilleJournal.com for more information.

Beneath the hum of rumbling backhoes and swiveling cranes, educators plowed the earth with golden shovels for a ceremonial groundbreaking on the new Fountain Inn High School. Construction for the $84 million project is actually well underway, with erected gym walls providing a backdrop for the Nov. 5 ceremony.

“I ride by here twice a day to see what’s going on,” says Principal Maureen Tiller. “They are really rocking and rolling out here, getting things done. To think about that being a gym, and what’s going to happen in that gym. I envision kids in there, and families and programming. It definitely makes it more real.”

-Burke Royster, superintendent, Greenville County School District District. “This folds in career-and technical-lab space that lends itself to advanced manufacturing and engineering: CNC [computer numerical control]; machine tools; welding; mechatronics. In fact, the way the building is laid out, you can actually look from the second-floor classrooms down into the technical areas.”

When Fountain Inn High opens in August 2021, students will have on-campus access to traditional advanced-placement and college-credit courses, in addition to state-of-the-art manufacturing and engineering instruction. Programs will include mentoring, job shadowing and apprenticeships with business and industry partners.

way around,” Royster says. “We are ahead of the curve in what we’re putting in here, and what we’re doing will have a good value to the taxpayers. When students leave here, they will already have college credit, industry certifications, or be entering the workforce ready to work.”

THE STUDENTS

Tiller is already hard at work engaging seventh-graders, from her current office inside Rudolph Gordon School. Many of these students, along with some from Bryson Middle School, will form FIHS’ inaugural grade of a projected 250 pupils, creating the graduating class of 2025.

Each year, another freshman class will enter behind them.

“They will blaze through all four years, and set the traditions, and what the culture is going to be,” Tiller says. “The focus we’re building off of now is creating pathways to the future for all students. That means an inclusive environment; a supportive environment.”

Tiller has been gathering feedback from future students, community leaders and district leadership teams, to select a mascot and colors. The short list now stands at three, and administrators say they plan to reveal the results of the School Mascot Challenge in December.

THE HISTORY

The facility is also generating pride as the community’s first, stand-alone high school since the original Fountain Inn High closed in 1957, district officials say.

Over the years, Fountain Inn teens joined others from across the Golden Strip to attend Hillcrest and Mauldin high schools.

FIHS will help ease overcrowding at both, according to officials.

“It lends a sense of identity,” Tiller says.

“In a town this size, everything happens

at the high school, so it brings the community together. Sports, fine arts, plays, orchestra, those are the things that these students and families will have as memories of growing up in Fountain Inn.” Less than one mile from the town’s original high school (which is now the Younts Center for Performing Arts) the new facility will draw residents down Quillen Road, while providing room for growth. The first phase on the 62-acre site calls for a 229,000-square-foot building to serve 1,000 students, as well as a full athletic complex featuring a football stadium, tennis courts and multiple soccer, baseball and softball fields. Phase two will eventually add wings to the school to house another 1,000 students.

Tiller is in a position very few principals experience: building a school from groundbreaking to graduation.

“It’s different coming into an established school situation and try to make culture, or instructional program changes,” the veteran principal says. “When you’re building from the bottom up, it’s daunting, but exciting, because you get to put an imprint on what you’ve learned. We want to make this school innovative, and meet the needs of 21st century graduates.”

New GTC initiative aims to keep African American male students enrolled in schools

n story by REBECCA HOWERTON | photos provided by MONICA DURHAM

Like other technical colleges, Greenville Tech is uniquely positioned to positively affect the futures of students and their families over generations by providing access to college degrees. But if students can’t stay the course, they miss out on the benefits. Last year, GTC President Dr. Keith Miller, created the “President’s Commission on Persistence and Retention” to address the urgent issue of keeping students in class.

The commission started by comparing two measures among different demographic groups and the college at large: persistence — the percentage of students who enroll one fall semester who either re-enroll the following spring semester or graduate; and retention — the percentage of students who enroll one fall semester who either re-enroll the following fall semester or graduate.

“What we learned when we looked at the data is that African-American males were coming in at the bottom of every category—10 points lower than the college rate of retention,” said Dr. Alecia Watt, director of educational opportunity

We knew that one component of the program would be to establish a brotherhood accountable to each other, a partner system to keep them on track.”

programs. “What’s happening is they’re coming to school and dropping out. It became very clear that something special was going to have to happen to get them at the level of the rest of the college, let alone improve rates overall.”

In November 2018, when the team explored possible causes for this disparity with a focus group of 10 African American male students, several themes emerged. First, the men expressed missing out on a sense of belonging, and a desire to find other African American men to bond with.

“They’re a very small percentage of the GTC population, so when you walk through, you aren’t seeing a lot of people who look like you. You may be the only African American male in your class,” Watt said. “We knew that one component of the program would be to establish a brotherhood accountable to each other, a partner system to keep them on track.”

Another common theme was stereotype threat, defined as the fear of confirming what you believe other people think about your group. Watt gave the example of a young man who was struggling in a math class, but hesitated to ask questions.

“One of the advantages students have at GTC is small class size, so they can feel more comfortable establishing relationships with instructors. But this student would not raise his hand.

He signed up for a tutor, who told him, ‘You

The college has connections in the community with so many great organizations that can help them get the supports they need.”

-Dr. Alecia Watt, director of educational opportunity programs should have learned this in high school.’

He never went back,” Watt said.

To address these issues, and improve engagement among this population, GTC this fall launched the African American Male Scholars Initiative. The program is modeled after City University of New York’s Accelerated Study in Associate Programs, an evidence-based program that has demonstrated progress since its inception in 2007.

GTC’s inaugural class of 100 students underwent a comprehensive needs assessment with questions about housing, transportation, substance abuse, disabilities, medical and other issues, so they can be connected with local resources. Two academic coordinators provide intensive academic advising and weekly monitoring of course performance to head off academic issues before they become insurmountable. Other services include financial advising, college tours, book scholarships and cultural activities.

“The college has connections in the community with so many great organizations that can help them get the supports they need,” Watt said. “We’ve also established a partnership with the Greenville

SC Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity to help connect them with successful African American men in the community, so they can see someone who looks like them who made it.”

Community support also made the launch of the program possible, said Ann Wright, vice president for advancement for the Greenville Tech Foundation, which contributed, along with the Graham Foundation, the Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina, United Way of Greenville County, the Community Foundation of Greenville and others.

“We are hopeful this initiative can be scaled up to help more students,” Wright said. “If we can help these students succeed, it will impact their future employment, income and the economic mobility of their family.”

Streaming Sensation: a guide to navigating the new world of streaming options

n story by EVAN PETER SMITH

With the entry this month of major players Apple and Disney into the so-called streaming wars, you could be forgiven for assuming that we’ve reached streaming overload.

At last count, we tallied 23 major streaming services available nationwide (if you want to subscribe to them all, it’ll cost you about $652 a month, or $7,824 a year) with dozens more smaller video streaming services also available. And that’s not even counting NBC’s upcoming Peacock streaming service set to launch in April and HBO Max from Warner slated for release in May. To help parse through all the options, here’s a guide for would-be cord cutters to figure out what service is best for them — or for folks who might just decide to keep it simple and stick with cable after all.

FREE STREAMING CHANNELS One-time purchase of a digital antenna

ity are high definition. The only caveat is the channel availability: a digital antenna will receive all the major networks, with about a dozen or more obscure channels thrown in as well, but you still won’t have the same bevy of options as you would from cable or paid streaming services.

FOR MOVIE BUFFS Netflix

• About 4,000 movies • $12.99 a month Netflix broke onto the scene as the first prominent streaming service, which set the tone for the streaming wars to follow.

Though its movie catalogue has gone down by more than 2,000, it still offers the most overall selection and the most original movies of any other platform

HBO

• Major Networks + a few extras • $9-$30 Like old-school rabbit ear antennas, these will pick up channels that are available via over-the-air digital broadcasts. You don’t need internet access and there are no subscription fees. The picture and sound qual-

• About 800 movies • $15 a month HBO might not have the largest movie selection, but in terms of quality, it stands on top. With an ever-rotating selection and an average IMDB film score of 7.1 (versus Netflix’s 6.7), HBO is the best choice for the highest rated content.

FROM OUR READERS

We asked our readers what their favorite streaming service was and here are the results:

8% OTHER DIGITAL ANTENNA

SPECTRUM TV

4%

DISNEY +

14

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // NOVEMBER 22

YOUTUBE TV

18%

HULU

• About 17,000 movies (some are free with

subscription; the majority can be rented or purchased for an additional fee) • $9 a month

Amazon Prime is more than just a streaming service, of course, and a good number of you likely already have it for its speedy shipping and price deals. But for streaming options, although Prime has a decent selection of movies that are free with a subscription, the service truly reigns supreme as the best option for renting movies. You’ll have to pay a fee of anywhere from $1 to $6 for a one-day rental, but if you’re looking for anything from the latest blockbuster to something totally obscure, Prime will likely have it.

FOR CLASSIC/INDIE FILM NERDS Criterion Channel About 1,800 movies • $11 a month

If you’re the type of person who uses the word “films” instead of “movies,” then this streaming service is for you. Featuring a wide selection of classic films, from Hollywood’s Golden Era to foreign arthouse pictures to old-school independent movies, the majority are at least 20 years old. But for those looking to develop a sophisticated cinema pallet, give this one a try.

SundanceNow About 150 movies • $5 a month

3%

26% NETFLIX

Amazon Prime

With fewer than 200 titles in its service, SundanceNow is on the skimpier side content-wise, but it’s also one of the cheapest.

If you’re the type who’s intrigued by the films that show at the Sundance Film Festival, take note of this service, which selects each title to coincide with its independentminded style.

FOR SPORTS FANS FuboTV

• 94 channels • $55 a month While most cable-replacement streaming packages will cover the standard sports channels, fuboTV is for the niche sports fans. Originally intended for fans of international soccer (hence the name “fubo”, a shortened version of “futbol”), it now features dozens of regional channels to cover a wide range of sports across the globe,

from Formula 1 racing to cricket. The one downside? No ESPN. Still, the service features pretty much all other channels you’d want from a cable subscription, especially if you’re the type of person who thinks the only real football is the one played with shin guards.

FOR THE FAMILY Disney+

• Nearly every Disney movie and TV show

ever made, as well as Pixar, Marvel, National Geographic and Star Wars • $7 a month

While Netflix and Amazon Prime offer family-friendly content, no one can beat Disney on this front. The entire service features only content that is rated PG-13 or lower, so you shouldn’t even have to worry much over setting parental guides, and with new original content (Star Wars’ “The Mandalorian” being the biggest hitter) and a catalogue stretching all the way back to Disney’s origins, even the grandparents can enjoy this one.

BEST OVERALL CABLE-REPLACEMENT OPTIONS Spectrum TV

Aka: Charter, or Charter Spectrum • More than 60 channels • $15 a month for those who are current

If you already have internet with Spectrum and are looking for a streaming option, this is your cheapest and best bet.

You’ll get essentially a basic cable package that you can stream from any device, but you’ll pay much less than you would for traditional cable.

YouTube TV

• More than 70 channels • $50 a month Overall, for non-Spectrum customers, this may be the best option for those looking to replace their cable service. With the ability to record as many programs as you want without storage space limits, a wide selection of channels and functionality across all devices, YouTube TV is a seamless and easy to use service. But the biggest selling point? You can use the service on up to three devices at once.

Save Our Saluda has been awarded a $533,000 grant from the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control to protect water quality in the Upper Saluda Watershed.

The advocacy group, which strives to protect and restore the Upper Saluda Watershed, the Saluda River and its tributaries and Saluda Lake, will utilize the grant money to work alongside partner organizations to develop and implement projects aimed at reducing sediment runoff to the North Saluda River and Saluda Lake.

“The North Saluda River and Saluda Lake are drinking water sources, support business and industry and provide recreational opportunities to thousands of Upstate residents and visitors,” the group said in a press release. “Sediment has filled in the lake and impacted the water quality and health of the river and lake.”

The project funded by the grant money has the potential to address these water quality issues through financing of soil conservation practices, which SOS asserts will help reduce sediment runoff.

S.C. Dept. of Revenue issuing $50 rebates The South Carolina Department of Revenue created a website for South Carolina residents to find out if they will be receiving a $50 rebate.

State lawmakers decided to give the rebates after an individual took home $877M from a Mega Millions Jackpot worth $1.5B in March. State lawmakers had $61M left over that is used for the rebates.

The rebates will be paid by Dec. 2.

Bright Health’s entry brings second ACA health insurance option to Upstate residents n story by JOHN JETER

The race for gold, silver and bronze is on. We’re talking Health Insurance Exchanges, with Olympic-medal plans available until Dec. 15 in the Affordable Care Act’s open enrollment period.

Competition just changed the field.

Every day of the year, somewhere in our community, tough breaks happen to honest folks.

Evictions happen to families with babies.

Initiations happen to kids who don’t know better.

Lay-offs happen to single parents. Abuse happens to the defenseless. Empty bank accounts happen to hungry people.

But, thankfully, every day, somewhere in our community, good people happen to bad things.

Come alongside the nearly 40 million hardworking Americans fighting to escape poverty and help them win.

With a sustaining monthly gift of just $25, you help us double our ability to assist those in need.

South Carolina was 1 OF 9 STATES that saw an increase in ACA sign-ups in 2018 Bright Health, currently operating in 12 states, this year entered South Carolina, where “Obamacare” sign-ups actually increased since 2018 — one of only nine states that saw increases. The Minneapolis, Minnesota-based company provides a second option to Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina plans in some parts of the Upstate.

“We’ve had only one carrier for the last three years-plus,” says Guy Furay, an insurance broker whose Greer company, The Insurance Source, now sells Bright Health plans. “When you have only one carrier, prices are higher — it’s called a monopoly.”

Bright Health offers seven ACA plans only in Greenville, Pickens and Anderson counties after joining with Southeastern Health Partners, a network that includes Bon Secours. Blue Cross Blue Shield, by comparison, sells 30 plans in all 46 South Carolina counties.

Notably, the monthly premium for BCBS’s BlueEssentials bronze 1, the leastexpensive plan, is a buck and change higher than Bright Health’s bronze. The key difference: In Greenville, you can use only Bon Secours and its providers.

“Our network is more constrained than the other networks because we’re focused on delivering very high-quality care that has good values,” says Jonathan Watson,

As long as they're in our system we know that their care is going to be provided quickly and efficiently at the right cost point.”

-Jonathan Watson, president of individual and family plans, Bright Health

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // NOVEMBER 22

We also believe that our broad hospital and physician network, choice of benefits and our multiyear market experience with the exchange population will be attractive to members.”

-Patti Embry-Tautenhan, assictant vice president of corporate relations, Blue Cross Blue Shield Bright Health’s president of individual and family plans. “Your doctor may not be in the network with us, so if you love your doctor, we’re not going to be a good choice for you.”

Bright Health aims to shift the relationships between patient, provider and health insurer, Watson says, adding, “As long as they’re in our system, we know that their care is going to be provided quickly and efficiently at the right cost point.”

Bon Secours’ Keith Newnam sees that, too.

“They’re patient-focused as well as provider-focused, creating a simpler, more connected health care experience, especially for the Medicare population,” says Newnam, chief network integration officer for Bon Secours.

During the 45-day open enrollment period, Furay says he worked with one customer who chose Bright Health and saved about $45 on her monthly premium.

Since Bright Health moved into Tennessee last year, Blue Cross Blue Shield there dropped its rate 30-plus percent, he says.

South Carolina’s Department of Insurance Director Ray Farmer says this is the first year since the ACA began in 2010 that rates fell in the state.

Two other insurance newcomers, Molina and Ambetter, now compete with BCBS in other parts of the state.

Of Bright Health’s entry in the Upstate, Farmer says, “Competition can also increase quality and give consumers options if a particular company doesn’t have their preferred providers in-network.”

That’s a gap Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina aims to fill.

“While we welcome competition, we believe being a local company is valued by customers,” says Patti Embry-Tautenhan, assistant vice president of corporate relations for Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina. “We also believe that our broad hospital and physician network, choice of benefits and our multi-year market experience with the exchange population will be attractive to members.”

story by KIMBERLY COLLIER

Walking in the front door after a long day of work and realizing that people, families have walked in that same door for over 100 years must be a comforting thought. Owning a piece of the past, a piece of yesterday, and continuing the tradition of the families that came before yours is what Hampton-Pinckney residents do everyday.

The area now known as Hampton-Pinckney District was first purchased in 1815 by Vardry McBee, and the first house in the area was built by McBee's son - Pinckney prior to the Civil War. The area emerged as one of the most desirable areas in Greenville due mostly to the fact that the trolley lines were located just one block away.

The trolley system covered Main, College, Buncombe, North and Pendleton Streets. The trolley lines would eventually serve Poe Mill, Woodside Mill, Monaghan Mill

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // NOVEMBER 22

and even San Souci Country Club, which was the Greenville Country Club of that era.

The Hampton-Pinckney district is recognized as one of the finest remaining areas of Victorian architecture in Greenville. The dominant architectural styles are Queen Anne and Craftsman with some Gothic Revival, Colonial Revival, Italinate and even Prairie. The area was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, becoming Greenville's first National Register District.

Like many of the urban neighborhoods of the era, the Hampton-Pinckney district fell into disrepair and began a period of decline between the end of World War II and the late 1970s. But, with the listing in the historic register and the urge of people to renovate older properties the area began to see a resurgence of interest and growth in the late '70s.

Today the Hampton Pinckney Historic District is one of Greenville's most distinctive neighborhoods and represents one of the most significant architectural resources in Greenville.

13. WALKER-MONROE HOUSE: Constructed circa 1920 with distinctive Arts and Crafts detailing.

14. CHILES HOUSE: Distinctive 1925 bungalow has significant Craftsman detailing.

15. LIPSCOMB HOUSE: Built around 1905, this house closely resembles a house on Hillcrest Drive. The owners actually moved to Hillcrest Drive and built essentially the same house (but Mrs. Lipscomb thought Hillcrest was too far out in the country, so they moved back).

16. LOUIS BURDELL HOUSTON HOUSE: Built in 1904 by Louis Burdell Houston for his new bride, this resembles a house in Brevard.

CONSERVATION DISTRICTS Across the United States, nearly 3,000 conservation districts work to conserve and promote healthy soils, water, forests and wildlife. All share a single mission: to develop local solutions that promote the wise and responsible use of natural resources.

This mission was born out of a dire situation — the Dust Bowl. Hugh Hammond Bennett, who would later be known as “the father of soil conservation,” realized that the country’s fate was closely tied to that of its farmers and land management practices. Bennett testified before Congress in 1935 and the Soil Conservation Service (today’s NRCS) was born. In 1937, the first Conservation District followed.

Today, Districts across the country continue to: • Apply conservation practices to protect soil, water, air quality, and wildlife habitat • Conserve and restore wetlands • Protect groundwater resources • Assist communities in planting trees and other land cover to hold soil in place, clean the air, and beautify neighborhoods • Provide communities & schools with environmental education to teach the value of natural resources

Moving on Up

Greenville-born songwriter nominated for CMA award n story by EVAN PETER SMITH | photos PROVIDED

Back in October, country superstar Thomas Rhett performed before a packed crowd at the Bon Secours Wellness Arena, playing fan favorites and hit songs off his newest album “Center Point Road.”

What many in the audience might not have known, though, was that the title track off Rhett’s chart-topping album was actually written by a young man who grew up right here in Greenville, mere minutes from where Rhett performed the song to thousands of cheering fans.

“I mean, what can I say? It’s crazy,” said Greenville-born songwriter Cleve Wilson.

I’m lucky enough to be coming from such a supportive community.

I’m so thankful for Greenville, all the people in my corner here.”

-Cleve Wilson, songwriter 26

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // NOVEMBER 22

At 21 years old, Wilson is no more than a few years removed from his days attending Greenville Senior High School, but his songwriting skills have already landed him a writing credit on the second most streamed country album of all time in its debut week, with more than 33 million ondemand audio streams.

Wilson said it wouldn’t have been possible without his Greenville roots.

“I’m lucky enough to be coming from such a supportive community,” he said. “I’m so thankful for Greenville, all the people in my corner here.”

For his work on “Center Point Road,” Wilson was nominated for a Country Music Association Award, and he attended the Nov. 13 show with his girlfriend of two years, Emma, which, as Wilson will admit, isn’t a bad way to spend a date night.

“I got to take the love of my life to something that’s really important to me,” he said.

“You can’t beat it.”

He also got to take his father to the CMA nominee dinner, where he introduced his dad to country superstars such as Keith Ur-

ban — not too shabby for a local boy who moved to Nashville, Tennessee, with zero connections and practically no idea of how the music industry operated.

The song for which Wilson was nominated, originally titled “Charlemagne,” was born out of his dorm room in college. By chance, Wilson’s manager was playing the song when Rhett’s executive producer, Jesse Frasure, who was in the adjacent room, happened to hear it playing through the wall.

Soon after, Frasure sent Wilson an email, saying that Rhett loved the song and wanted it for his newest album.

“I wasn’t really expecting too much at the time,” Wilson said.

Cut to nearly half a year later, and Wilson received a call while working a shift at Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint in Nashville, Tennessee, with the news that Rhett and charttopping singer Kelsea Ballerini wanted to meet him in the studio — can he come now?

“I had to pay a dude $50 to get him to cover my shift,” Wilson said. “I show up to the studio in my uniform, wearing Doc Martin’s and just reeking from the barbecue smoker.”

The album Wilson worked on had more than 33 MILLION on-demand audio streams in its debut week

But that moment illustrates what Wilson believes is the biggest factor behind his success so far.

“You always have to show up to work, whether it’s a meeting or a discussion or just grabbing coffee,” he said. “Show up 10 times out of 10, and with a little luck, something’s going to come out of it.”

Although he didn’t win at the CMA’s this time around, Wilson is already looking forward to going on tour in May with “Body Like a Back Road” singer Sam Hunt. Wilson will be playing in the band and writing songs with Hunt along the way.

It’s his first tour, so he’s not sure what to expect. All he knows is that he’ll show up, put in the work and see what happens.

PAUL'S PICK

Mannheim Steamroller’s Christmas show returns to the Peace Center PAUL HYDE Contributor

Thirty-five years ago, Chip Davis wanted to record a new kind of Christmas album — one that would combine elements of classical music with upbeat rock and jazz.

Music producers scoffed.

“Only artists who have run out of ideas ever do a Christmas album,” Davis recalled them saying.

But Davis and his band, Mannheim Steamroller, forged ahead, and today Davis is the No. 1 Christmas music artist in history, with 29 million records sold. Elvis occupies a distant second place with 17 million discs purchased.

Mannheim Steamroller returns to Greenville with its popular Christmas show with two performances at 4 and 8 p.m. Nov. 23 at the Peace Center. The show features a sixperson band backed by an orchestra.

Davis himself was sidelined by an auto accident several years ago and no longer tours with the two bands that operate under the Mannheim Steamroller name. But he remains actively involved in every aspect of the Christmas shows, he said.

GREENVILLE JOURNAL: You’re celebrating a big anniversary this year.

CHIP DAVIS: Yes, this will be the 35th anniversary of our annual Christmas tour, making it the longest-running consecutive tour in the entertainment industry. We have our fans to thank for this milestone and making Mannheim Steamroller part of their holiday tradition.

THE JOURNAL: Why do you think the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas albums are so popular?

DAVIS: At Christmastime, people want to listen to something that is familiar in their lives. And for 35 years, millions of people have grown up listening to our music. It’s comforting to hear something from your childhood — kind of like comfort food. Also, Christmastime is family time, and our music and concerts are all family friendly. We often see three generations attending one of our shows.

THE JOURNAL: What were your musical goals when you created Mannheim Steamroller more than 40 years ago?

28

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM // NOVEMBER 22

n photo provided by THE PEACE CENTER

DAVIS: I wanted to explore new ways of expressing music and created a sound I call “18th Century classic rock.” I don’t believe in all acoustic or all electronic, all digital or all analog. My style is where they all meet.

THE JOURNAL: Where did the name Mannheim Steamroller come from?

DAVIS: From Mannheim, Germany. That’s where Mozart and composer-music theorist Joseph Stamitz both lived. Stamitz came up with the idea of the crescendo: music building and getting louder in order to excite the audience. The 18th Century musical phrase “Mannheim Valse” literally meant “roller,” and people used to joke that the loud music would roll over the crowd and flatten them.

When it was time to start selling my band I had to come up with a name to market.

At the time, the big rock groups had interesting names like Jefferson Airplane or Iron Butterfly. So I came up with the name Mannheim Steamroller.

THE JOURNAL: Something many fans may not know is that you had a big country music hit back in the 1970s.

DAVIS: I worked as a jingle writer early in my career. One of the ad executives was Bill Fries and we wrote a series of commercials about a fictional truck driver named C.W. McCall and his waitress girlfriend, Mavis.

Bill was the voice of McCall. Well, those jingles became extremely popular with radio listeners. We produced one in 1975 that became the song “Convoy,” which sold 10 million copies. “Convoy” went on to become a movie and, would you believe, I won SESAC’s Country Music Writer of the Year award for my work.

VINCENT HARRIS Contributor

When I began writing for the Greenville Journal six years ago, I had one goal in mind: Getting the word out about our area’s best local, original music. So perhaps you will understand why what I’m about to tell you means so much to me, and to everyone involved.

I’m excited to use my column this week to tell you about the Upstate Music Awards.

This is an idea that Wes Gilliam from the Radio Room and Jeremy Theall from Future Chord Entertainment came to me with a few months back, and it allows both local musicians and fans to nominate the original bands and artists from this area for awards in 12 categories.

You might notice that, in the categories, there are no specific genres listed. That was a deliberate decision. Part of the point of the Upstate Music Awards is to bring our local music communities together, and we felt from the beginning that the best way to do that would be to dispose of genre descriptions that often aren’t that accurate, anyway. This is about local, original music of all kinds, chosen by the people who love it.

The idea is simple: We want to shine the spotlight on local musicians who make original music. We love our cover bands as much as the next person, but this is for those artists who create their own material, record it, play it live and put it out into the world, whether it’s on an LP, CD, or sites like Soundcloud.

Today, we’re going live with a website specifically dedicated to the nomination process. Both fans and the musicians themselves can submit nominations, but if you’re an artist who wants to participate, we will ultimately need a bio, clips of your music either on SoundCloud or Bandcamp, and an artist photo uploaded to the page. If a fan nominates you or your band, I’ll reach out to you about uploading your material if you want to participate.

For the Best New Artist category, we require that the nominees started their careers in 2019, either by playing or recording mostly original music. All of the releases considered in the Best Album, Best EP, Best Single, Best Video and Best Collaboration category have to have been released in 2019.

You’ll have until Dec. 21 to nominate yourself or an artist you’re passionate about for one of the Upstate Music Award categories.

On Jan. 1, we’ll open up the list of nominees

CATEGORIES BEST ALBUM BEST EP BEST SINGLE BEST MUSIC VIDEO BEST LIVE ACT ARTIST OF THE YEAR BEST NEW ARTIST BEST COLLABORATION BEST STUDIO PRODUCER/ENGINEER BEST SOLO ARTIST BEST ALBUM ART/VISUAL DESIGN BEST MUSIC PHOTOGRAPHER WRITE-IN VOTE (artists we didn’t cover, chosen by YOU)

864 AWARD

(this would be for an artist with close ties to the community, through service or charity work)

to the public for voting; you’ll have until Jan. 23 to vote. We’ll announce the top five finalists in February, and then, in March, we’ll announce the winners at an awards ceremony at Zen in downtown Greenville.

A couple of notes: For our purposes, “local” music applies to the area covered by the 864 area code: That means Abbeville County, Anderson County, Cherokee County, Greenville County, Greenwood County, Laurens County, McCormick County, Oconee County, Pickens County, Spartanburg County and Union County.

If you want to participate, you must have a usable band photo, a SoundCloud or Bandcamp link where we can listen to your music, and a bio.

It’s a lot of information to take in, and I know there will be a lot of questions. I hope I can answer them for you as we move through this process. First steps are often unsteady, but I hope our path gets clearer over time.

And we need those people to spread the word. Share this everywhere you can think of if you like the idea, from social media to conversation to comments, and maybe we can make this work; Time to get the word out about the great music that’s coming from the Upstate. Let’s do this.

where we're EATING

The Radio Room is a 3 minute drive from Northgate Soda Shop.

NORTHGATE SODA SHOP 918 N. MAIN ST.

You would not believe the number of longtime Greenville residents I meet regularly who’ve never set foot in Northgate Soda Shop. And every time I’m genuinely shocked. Like the Blue Dogs, who’ve been a mainstay in the Charleston music scene for 30 years, Northgate has kept the hometown burger vibe alive for decades.

The walls covered in Greenville memorabilia are a time capsule.

what we're SEEING BLUE DOGS

AT RADIO ROOM Alongside bands like Hootie & The Blowfish, Cravin’ Melon and Jump, Little Children, the Blue Dogs helped usher in a musical renaissance in South Carolina in the 1990s, gaining national attention for their heartfelt, melodic rock songs that had just a pinch or two of country in them.

While the band might not have reached the heights of Hootie, it has remained one of the state’s most popular groups, consistently selling out the Charleston Music Hall with its annual Homecoming show.

Still led by the band’s founding members, singer/guitarist Bobby Houck and upright bassist Hank Futch, the band is a reliable live act, with several decades worth of well-crafted songs to choose from onstage.

Children’s Theatre brings ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ to the Gunter Theatre n story by PAUL HYDE | photo PROVIDED

It’s Christmastime and all the Peanuts kids are celebrating — writing letters to Santa, hanging decorations, addressing cards.

Except for Charlie Brown.

“Charlie Brown bemoans the fact that Christmas is so commercialized,” said Mia Phillips, who is directing the South Carolina Children’s Theatre’s production of “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”

The show, suitable for elementary schoolaged children and older, opens Nov. 29 for nine public performances through Dec. 8 at the Peace Center’s Gunter Theatre.

Most everyone already knows the story.

They come there so excited to see Snoopy, Woodstock and Charlie Brown, and everyone loves to see Lucy being bossy. They recognize those characters, and they love their innocence and joy.”

-Mia Phillips, director The stage adaptation of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” is based closely on the original 1965 TV show, a Christmastime favorite.

“Charlie Brown is on a quest to find the meaning of Christmas,” Phillips said.

When Charlie Brown is named director of the Christmas play, he does his best to bring the spirit of Christmas to the forefront, but things don’t go as planned. Just when it

“A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS” » NOV. 29 & 30, DEC. 1, 7 & 8 » TIMES VARY » PEACE CENTER GUNTER THEATRE » $19-$28 PEACECENTER.ORG seems like hope is lost, Charlie’s friends rally around him.

The stage version of the show, written

by Eric Schaeffer, features all the familiar Peanuts gang — including Charlie, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus, Sally and Woodstock.

“Most everyone already knows the story,” Phillips said. “They come there so excited to see Snoopy, Woodstock and Charlie Brown, and everyone loves to see Lucy being bossy.

They recognize those characters, and they love their innocence and joy.”

In addition, the stage play retains the beloved Vince Guaraldi music, including the famous “Linus and Lucy” theme.

The show opens with Guaraldi’s “Christmastime is Here,” with the children ice skating — or rather wearing Heelys, the shoes with wheels.

The stage adaptation expands the 30-minute TV version by about a half hour by adding extra music — and an audience singalong of Christmas carols to conclude the show.

The South Carolina Children’s Theatre produced “A Charlie Brown Christmas” a few years ago, and it’s being brought back by popular demand.

The Children’s Theatre has assembled two all-student casts to accommodate all of the shows. Nine school performances are scheduled in addition to the nine public shows.

Wine guide for holiday dinners: What to buy and how to please everyone n story by ARIEL TURNER | photos PROVIDED

Mom doesn’t do reds. Dad only drinks red. Aunt Jackie prefers a sweet white and will say so loudly if you don’t remember. Your brother-in-law will sniff, swirl and declaim 15 characteristics he detects in his glass, much to your sister’s embarrassment.

Meanwhile, you just want everyone to get along, for dinner to come out perfectly and for the wine to flow freely within a budget, whether those idealistic wishes for a holiday gathering come true or not.

The good news is, buying the right wines for the wide variety of guests and cuisine during the holiday season doesn’t have to be nearly as intimidating or expensive as it may seem. To help ease your wine-choosing trepidation, three local wine experts adept at recommending wine to even the pickiest of palates have provided guidance for many of the scenarios you’re likely to encounter.

The main takeaway? When in doubt, choose bubbles. But if you’d like to get a little more specific, here’s what they suggest.

WHAT TO DRINK WHILE COOKING

HOW TO PLEASE EVERYONE

A GREAT GIFT

One for the pan and one for the glass is the proper sip-and-stir technique, if you’re drinking for the type of cuisine you’re cooking. But even then, there are some parameters to keep in mind.

Christy Kendig, Husk Greenville sommelier, says the key to not blowing out your palate before dinner even begins is going with a lower alcohol wine. Also, if the pan is partaking, stick with a less expensive bottle in the $10 or less range — there’s plenty of decent wine to be had at that price point, such as a grenache often available at The Community Tap, she says (ask the staff).

Otherwise, start with bubbles: It’s festive, and when guests arrive, they can jump right in with you.

“Bubbles set the tone for a memorable celebration and also aid the digestion of those six deviled eggs that you were not at all sneaky about housing from the appetizer tray,” says James Alford, Foxcroft Wine Co. Greenville general manager.

Annie Tackett, beverage coordinator and certified sommelier for The Cliffs, agrees and offers a budget-conscious option.

“True champagne can get a bit pricey, so if you are looking for something a little more inexpensive, consider a Spanish cava,” she says.

Obviously, you might not be able to please every last palate at your table, but you can get close.

Bubbles often fit the bill. But Kendig uses her family’s tastes as her benchmark. She always has a non-cabernet red, a dry white and a sweet white, such as a gewurztraminer or riesling.

Alford offers this tip for dinner wines.

“Rich holiday food makes you thirsty,” he says. “Why have a beverage that doesn’t quench that thirst? As much as we love those giant, oaky cabs, they aren’t typically what we reach for when we’re dying of thirst. Wines with lower alcohol, lively minerality and snappy acid make you want that next sip, and keep your palate refreshed for your fourth helping of dark meat.”

Kendig and Tackett both also recommend a pinot noir as a crowd-pleasing option that will pair well with the smorgasbord of dishes.

Alford says rosé will also please multiple palates, and some great options are available for less than $20.

You certainly don’t want to come off cheap with your gifted wine when a guest in someone else’s home, but if your list of 14 holiday functions looks daunting to the budget, you have options.

Kendig says hands-down, go with a Willamette Valley pinot noir — it’s always a crowd pleaser and affordable. Additionally, if you prefer Old World vino, go with a gamay — also as equally pleasing and affordable.

Alford goes back to bubbles.

“Even if your host already has some bubbly on ice when you get there, no one has ever seen a guest come through the front door with a bottle of Champagne and been unhappy about it,” he says.

Tackett offers a more specific option.

“Red blends have gained a lot of popularity over the years,” she says. “If you’re looking to take a step up from the usual Apothic Red, but enjoy that fruit-driven style, I’d suggest Conundrum red blend, Daou Vineyards’ Pessimist or Leviathan.”

DON’T BREAK THE BANK

THE NO-STRESS MINDSET

NEED MORE HELP?

You can impress your wine-loving friends without breaking the bank. You don’t want to be memorable at a holiday dinner for serving bad wine but also have costs to keep in mind. Tackett offers a strategy.

“Many high-end producers make a more affordable option under a second label,” she says. “This takes some research, but can pay off. Also consider looking into a lesser known wine region. Some of my favorites are from Spain. Rioja is a tempranillo-based wine and a great choice for pinot noir lovers, as both share a red-fruit characteristic.”

Kendig suggests going for a cru-level Beaujolais, many of which are available for $20 or less. They drink like much more expensive wines — and you can afford a couple bottles.

The holidays are a special, once-a-year occurrence that can also cause high levels of stress. Don’t let one of the best parts — the wine — add to it.

Alford suggests a specific overall mindset.

“Mostly, look for the wines that you love the most, that maybe you don’t buy all that often,” he says. “Fill the case with those special bottles that are a little pricier than your Tuesday night go-to, because come on, it’s Thanksgiving! There won’t be a second one this year, so treat yo’self.”

This casual tasting will include a number of wines suitable for a Thanksgiving meal. No advance tickets are required.

Growing Green takes over Pendleton Street farm plot from Reedy River Farms

Newly planted Russian red kale, heirloom mustard greens, Chinese cabbage and intermittent rows of Easter egg radishes are sprouting inside the high tunnel greenhouse at 1176 Pendleton St. The half-acre urban farm in the Village of West Greenville has a new set of crops — and a new operator — as of this fall.

Growing Green Family Farms has taken over the lot from Reedy River Farms, which first turned the land into farmable space in 2016. Reedy River Farms has since purchased property in Easley, which made the Pendleton Street farm available. Reedy River farmer George DuBose handed the farm off to Growing Green in September, making it the second location for the family-run supplier of greens and other vegetable crops.

It’s the perfect time because the restaurant scene in Greenville is growing.”

-Nathan Vannette, founder, Growing Green Business major Nathan Vannette founded Growing Green in 2012 in his home state of Michigan and then moved to South Carolina in 2015 to open a farm in Anderson.

Vanette says this additional, downtownadjacent location puts his crops within three miles or a seven-minute commute to many of the restaurants he supplies. It would be difficult to be any more local, farm-to-table than that, he says.

“It’s the perfect time because the restaurant scene in Greenville is growing,” he says.

A true family business — Vannette’s brother-in-law is his partner and three sis-

INCLUDING THE CLASSIC SONGS... ters run various aspects of it — Growing Green has a regular presence at Upstate farmers markets and is expanding its restaurant customers.

The original farm has served restaurants such as Soby’s New South Cuisine and the neighboring Table 301 Catering, Happy + Hale, Foxcroft Wine Co., and Two Chefs Cafe & Market. Main Street restaurants are a prime target for his business, and now within walking distance of the restaurant hot spot that is the Village, he has begun making inroads with his neighbors.

Kuka Juice just down the street sporadically sources greens from Vannette, and he’s in discussions with nearby Coastal Crust about providing the arugula for their woodfired pizza.

“I love the atmosphere of the west side here,” Vannette says.

And while farmers market season has come to a close, the growing season and restaurant business continues through the colder months thanks to greenhouses, hydroponic technology and careful planning.

Vannette employs the same no-till method of farming as his predecessor and uses neither pesticides nor herbicides, preferring fabric covering to block weeds and pests. He also weeds by hand. The difference in taste and color of his produce is worth the extra physical labor, he says.

Also nearby, Swamp Rabbit Cafe & Grocery carries Growing Green produce, and Vannette offers a weekly or biweekly winter community-supported agriculture program with pickups on Pendleton Street. Those shares will include carrots, beets, various allium and various greens.
