The D-Word

When employed effectively, density can enhance a community’s character IN OUR OWN WORDS

By Andrea Cooper and Nancy Fitzer

Downtown Greenville is garnering national attention for its beauty and vibrancy. This deserved reputation feeds a cycle of attracting tourists, businesses and residents, which in turn creates a demand for new development. But the question for many area citizens is this: How much is too much? How do we continue to make our city an even better place to live, work and play without sacrificing our community’s character and our quality of life?

Communities are not static. They grow, they decline, they become more diverse, they age and so on. Change is inevitable. But we do have a choice in whether we manage that change or just let the changes happen. The most livable cities plan for growth and take into consideration the protection of and interaction with natural areas, vibrant public spaces, a varied skyline, diversity and inclusiveness, affordable housing and a range of transportation options including public transit and bicycle networks.

While we are usually quick to voice what we don’t want, it’s also important to talk about what we do want.

Moving beyond downtown, are we developing neighborhoods that promote walking? Are we allowing and encouraging mixed-use developments? Are our developers connecting streets to reduce congestion? Are we investing in compact centers that can support public transit? We must be committed to the bigger picture

Letter

“Premature Criticism” After reading Jason Zacher’s Oct. 24 Greenville Journal column, “Proposed Greenville County sign ordinance creates burdensome regulations,” and as a member of the sign committee charged with rewriting the Greenville County Sign Ordinance, I believe a response is warranted.

I find Mr. Zacher’s statements and accounts a bit disingenuous and his criticism of the committee’s work to be very premature; reacting to a working draft of the ordinance that has yet to be endorsed by the committee makes me question his motives. The committee and county staff are still hard at work developing its final recommendations.

The committee was appointed by County Council to address a need in our community. You don’t have to look too hard to find areas of our county that are plastered with signs, banners,

and how we are going to accommodate this growth.

Battles over growth and development often center on the “D-word”: density. For some, the word conjures visions of walkable, vibrant communities. For others, density raises the specter of overcrowding and noise.

And they are all correct, for all density is not created equal — it can enhance our quality of life or detract from it, depending on the form it takes. Units per acre are but one characteristic that tells only a small part of the story of a place.

As the Lincoln Institute for Land Policies notes in their “Visualizing Density” resource, “Two neighborhoods with the exact same density can look as different as night and day. Although they measure out at the same density, they are not necessarily perceived to be equally dense. What really matters is how the streets are laid out, how the land is subdivided, how the buildings are arranged and detailed, whether trees are planted, where the sidewalks lead. These are all functions of design.”

So we should not reflexively fear density. It can bring significant economic and quality of life benefits for us all. But we should carefully examine densifying areas to ensure that stormwater will be managed appropriately, that green space and public gathering places are provided and that the character of the community is enhanced.

And what about those ever-present twin bugaboos, traffic and parking? Even the most fervent city boosters among us grumble under our breaths as we spend

more time behind the wheel than we used to, stuck in rush-hour traffic or searching for an open parking spot.

As Greenville continues to grow and densify, we simply can’t rely on the old model of everyone driving everywhere. If we do, we will end up with more and more congestion — an exercise in frustration, and perhaps killing the goose that laid the golden egg. We need shuttles, transit, sidewalks and bike lanes that enable us to get where we want to go conveniently and efficiently.

These options benefit all users — old and young, rich and poor, impaired and functioning — providing improved and equitable access.

In a recent piece in Citylab, Garrett Nelson writes, “What we care about most in community planning is that people can get to the places they use regularly — their workplace, school, child care, grocery store, café and so on — in a convenient, affordable and energyefficient manner.” This should be our goal as Greenville continues on its upswing: to promote density that works for all of us.

designed and all issues, real or perceived, will be addressed prior to the committee’s final recommendations, and certainly prior to consideration and adoption by County Council.

The sign committee’s main goals are to address two important areas of concern: First, create a balanced business-friendly sign regulation that is effective in minimizing the visual sign clutter that plagues many of our area roads. Second, develop a regulation that is simple to understand, administer and enforce with the current level of resources available at the County.

The goals are to treat every business fairly, and at the same time maintain Greenville County’s image as a pleasant community with signage that meets advertising needs and safety requirements without negative appearance. Many other communities do it, including cities in Greenville County.

The process established for this ordinance update is inclusive and open, and the committee’s final recommendations will be presented to the Board of Zoning Appeals, Planning Commission and County Council for their feedback and consideration. I would respectfully request that Mr. Zacher withhold his judgment until the committee has completed its work. I have no doubt that the established process, guided by county staff, will work as

Mr. Zacher’s premature criticism is obviously a preemptive strike aimed at discrediting the committee and the hard work of committee members and citizens of this county that have dedicated their time to this worthy project.

A year ago, Vance Ferrigno lost his son on a deadly stretch of U.S. 25 Words by Andrew Moore Photos by Jack Lukow

O

n Nov. 10, 2015, Vance Ferrigno was driving home from work on U.S. 25 when he saw a cloud of dust and debris. A small car had run off the road, hit a concrete culvert and overturned in the median just minutes before.

Ferrigno pulled up to the scene and started to panic. The turquoise car in the median was the pale blue 1998 BMW sedan he had purchased for his son, Anthony. He immediately stopped his vehicle and rushed to the median.

“God put me there for a reason,” Ferrigno said. “The car was crushed. I crawled through the passenger side window and saw him upside down with his seat belt on and blood coming out of his mouth. My only thought was, ‘Please Lord, no.’”

Anthony Ferrigno, 20, was taken to the Greenville Memorial Trauma Center, where he died from blunt force trauma.

Highway Patrol officers investigated and ruled out speeding, according to Ferrigno, who also checked his son’s phone records to determine if Anthony had been distracted.

Anthony had not used his phone in more than an hour before the crash. “I still have no idea what caused his death,” Ferrigno said.

“But I know that the section of highway where my son died is simply unacceptable.”

way.

The analysis is based on crash data from Jan. 1, 2013, to Dec. 31, 2015.

There were 96 crashes between Hawkins Road and Belvue School Road. That is lower than other urban primary arterials with similar traffic volumes throughout the state. One of the accidents was fatal.

There were 177 crashes between Belvue School Road and the Cherokee Foothills Scenic Highway. That is higher than other rural primary arterials with similar traffic throughout the state but “considerably lower than other roadways currently targeted for safety improvements.” Four of the accidents were fatal.

To make matters worse, the number of accidents is rising on the 9-mile section.

Between 2011 and 2016, there have been 425 crashes with 180 injuries and 10 deaths.

A different section of U.S. 25, from the South Carolina border to Interstate 26, has had 156 accidents with just one death, according to SCDOT data.

“I believe my son would still be here had he crashed on the North Carolina side of the highway, because they have much wider medians and cable-barrier systems,” said Ferrigno. “A simple guardrail could have saved him.”

THE DANGERS REVEALED

A traffic engineering report released by the S.C. Department of Transportation on Oct. 28 found that the 9-mile section of U.S. 25, from Tigerville Road to the Cherokee Foothills Scenic Highway, is fraught with damages.

Several intersections and medians have poor pavement, overgrown brush, faded road markings, missing or outdated signs, no acceleration or deceleration lanes and no paved shoulders or rumble strips to warn drivers they are close to the edge of the road.

SCDOT also conducted a crash analysis for two sections of the highway. The first section spans from Hawkins Road to Belvue School Road. The second spans from Belvue School Road to the Cherokee Foothills Scenic High-

THE COSTS OF SAFETY

The state plans to fund some short-term, low-cost improvements on the 9-mile section of U.S. 25. That includes signing upgrades throughout the corridor with fluorescent sheeting, reflective strips at strategic locations and advance warning signs at intersections.

The other improvements will include trimmed vegetation at critical intersections, raised pavement markers and future resurfacing projects that will also include wider markings, paved shoulders, rumble strips and stop bars.

Parts of U.S. 25 are scheduled for resurfacing in 2017.

The improvements will be moved to subsequent years if portions of U.S. 25 do not rank high enough on the state’s priority lists.

“We’ll have to address some of the bigger issues as funding becomes available,” said Mike Sullivan, planning chief for SCDOT. “It’s the same for all improvements.”

Several improvements will remain unfunded. That includes the widening of all four-foot medians, median closures, development and improvement of turn lanes and acceleration lanes and improvement of intersections on U.S. 25 at Mush Road Creek, U.S. 25 northbound at S.C. 290 and U.S. 25 at White Horse Road.

“Our needs outweigh our funding, so we can’t fix everything right now,” Sullivan said.

The state has set aside $845 million for highway maintenance. Maintenance can include installing signs and traffic signals, patching roads and cutting grass. The state has also received $187 million in federal aid for highway improvements.

SCDOT maintains a list of priority road improvements in its statewide multimodal transportation plan, which is used for the scheduling and allocation of funds. South Carolina has $70 billion in road improvements listed in its current plan, which is scheduled through 2040.

South Carolina’s estimated transportation revenue is $27 billion for the year, according to Sullivan. And most improvements are costly.

A new lane can cost up to $2 million, and a new highway interchange can cost up to $50 million. The new pavement for the section of U.S. 25 where Anthony Ferrigno crashed would cost about $6 million.

That section of highway is also ineligible for federal maintenance dollars, according to the report. It only has about 35 crashes per mile as compared to another section of U.S. 25 from I-85 to Lily Street that was recently identified for a safety review. It has more than 1,700 crashes with 268 crashes per mile.

SCDOT plans to monitor the corridor to determine if federal funding can be used in the future, according to Sullivan.

GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM

9 Miles of Danger SCDOT recently studied a 9-mile section of U.S. 25, from Tigerville Road to the Cherokee Foothills Scenic Highway, and found several safety concerns. But that wasn’t surprising for nearby residents. The number of vehicular accidents on that stretch of highway has steadily increased over the last five years:

FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD

CREATING A MOVEMENT

A group of concerned residents called the Highway 25 Initiative is fighting for funding.

“The new report substantiates what we’ve been claiming for the last year. So I hope we’ll be able to gain some momentum with it,” said Travelers Rest City Council member Rebecca Cooper, a member of the Highway 25 Initiative.

Fueled by the death of Anthony Ferrigno, several residents living along U.S. 25 formed the group to address safety concerns. “Accidents and deaths are likely going to increase as the road continues to deteriorate and traffic volume grows,” Cooper said. “Someone had to address these safety issues, because the state wasn’t going to.”

The group handed out petitions in April and garnered 1,900 signatures.

“It’s great to see this group taking on such a

That is a result of inadequate funding.

Both agencies create long-range transportation plans every 10 years to determine which transportation projects receive priority scheduling and funding. Selected projects are slated for completion in at least 25 years.

“We’re probably not going to be able to schedule projects for funding that are outside the top 15 spots. We can only add a few of those projects to the short-range plan every five years. So even our top projects are a ways out from being completed,” said Keith Brockington, GPATS transportation planning manager.

GPATS adds a limited number of projects to the short-range plan because it only receives $18 million per year, and most of the projects on the LRTP are multimillion-dollar road-widening or intersection projects.

ACOG updated its LRTP in May. However, it only receives $3.5 million from the state, according to Chip Bentley, deputy director for ACOG. “We distribute a very small amount of money between our counties and focus on smaller projects. It’s the best way we to get more bang for the buck.

We actually tend to list a lot of intersection projects,” Bentley said.

“The [Highway] 25 improvements probably wouldn’t have made our list,” he added.

big effort,” said Ferrigno. “Signing a petition was easy for me. Too many people, including my son, have died on that stretch of highway.

Something needs to change.”

SCDOT solicited letters of support for the improvements in May. The Greater Travelers Rest Chamber, Greenville Health System and others voiced support. “ … The highway has a grass median in places with a 3- to 5-foot-deep ditch in it … these conditions, along with the dreadful state of the pavement, make this main corridor, which is also a truck corridor, a terribly unsafe highway,” wrote Adrienne Talbert of Greenville Health System’s North Greenville Medical Campus.

In June, the group presented their concerns to the SCDOT commission, which

unanimously approved a traffic engineering study.

After receiving a preliminary report in August, the group decided to request funding from the Greenville-Pickens Area Transportation Study (GPATS) and Appalachian Council of Governments (ACOG). The agencies oversee the 9-mile section of highway and allocate state funds for its improvements.

BARRIERS TO PROGRESS

Cooper has presented the report to both agencies. “There have been reflections on the inadequacies of our transportation system.

But neither group really claimed the project like we thought they would,” she said. “It’s been disappointing.”

The group plans to apply to the C Fund Program. That program is administered by the SCDOT, and the funds are derived from 2.66 cents per gallon of the state gasoline tax.

The state administered $4,252,400 to Greenville County this year.

The county selects projects for funding.

Most of the funds are used for secondary roads, according to Sullivan. The state requires counties to use at least 25 percent of the fund on state roads. The selected highways are costly for the state to maintain, but aren’t considered a priority.

“Greenville County might have funding for this stretch of highway, but it’s also a federal highway. I’m not sure if they’d allocate funding for it since most of the money usually goes to paving projects for non-state roads,” Sullivan said.

Greenville County has $3,189,300 for nonstate highway projects.

SCDOT commissioner Wood Willard, who represents the Greenville area, said the roads agency would likely provide proposals to the Legislature in January to show lawmakers that SCDOT could improve significant primary roads, like U.S. 25, if it’s given more funding.

The statewide multimodal transportation plan won’t be updated again until December 2019.

“Some people say losing a child is a parent’s worst nightmare. But it’s much worse when it actually happens,” said Ferrigno.

“How many people need to die before this section of highway sees change? It’ll only get worse if nothing is done.”

The proposed Poe Mill Wheel Park scores a consultant but needs money for final plans CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

California Skateparks, one of the world’s top skatepark design and construction firms, has conducted an initial site visit to Poe Mill, the first step in turning the makeshift park skateboarders created amidst the mill’s ruins into a destination for skaters.

The nonprofit Greater Greenville Parks Foundation is trying to raise an additional $13,000 for the company to hold community design meetings, create a 3-D rendering and provide a detailed construction budget.

“People from all over the world will know about us if we do this right,” said Ty Houck, Greenville County director of Greenways, Natural and Historic Resources.

The effort to build a skatepark in Greenville gained momentum in 2015 after the Innoskate skateboarding exhibit was brought in by the Children’s Museum of the Upstate. The park has since gotten the attention of the Tony Hawk Foundation and the Street League Skateboard Foundation,

whose executive director, Josh Friedman, will be leading the 2020 Olympic effort for the United States.

“It’s amazing how much the site has changed even since Innoskate,” said Adrian Gallardo, owner of the Blazer Skate Shop on Laurens Road and an avid skateboarder.

Gallardo is leading a grass-roots effort to raise money for the park.

Plans for the Poe Mill Wheel Park far exceed what those do-it-yourselfers could have ever imagined for the park. Plans call for a 40,000-square-foot park for skaters and people who enjoy other recreational wheel sports such as roller-skating and rollerblading.

“Greenville has plenty of parks,” Gallardo said. “But we don’t have anything like this.”

The proposed Poe Mill park is 8,000 square feet bigger than SK8 Charleston, a new skate park on the north side of the peninsula in Charleston that has been years in the making. Team Pain, a skate park design group from Florida, designed that park.

SK8 Charleston features two pool-shaped bowls, one 12 feet deep and another 6 to 8 feet deep. There’s a 200-foot snake run that includes different sized bends, hills, roll-ins and kickers. A street course modeled after downtown Charleston includes a quarter pipe, stairs, rails, funboxes and flats. It is expected to open by the end of the year.

Gallardo said the Poe Mill park is already known nationally among skateboarders.

Poe Mill park will be a premier wheel park in the Carolinas that will attract skateboarders from a wide area, he said.

After the wheel park master plan and detailed cost estimate is complete, Houck will try to get the park included in the county budget.

The Science of Diversity Clemson launches initiative to boost women, minority faculty in STEM fields ANDREW MOORE | STAFF

amoore@communityjournals.com

Clemson University has been awarded a $3.4 million grant from the National Science Foundation’s ADVANCE program to address its lack of women and minority faculty members teaching science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).

“We will be able to accelerate the recruitment and retention of underrepresented scholars across the university and to improve the work environment for all faculty no matter their background or discipline,” said Ellen Granberg, Clemson University’s associate provost for academic affairs and co-principal investigator for the grant.

Thirty-five percent of full-time faculty members are women at Clemson University, but only 19 percent are women in STEM fields.

“The statistics for racial diversity within the Clemson STEM faculty are even grimmer,” said Sez Atamturktur, the engineering

professor who oversaw the application process. “Out of 509 STEM faculty members, only one (0.2 percent) is an African-American woman, and two (0.4 percent) are Hispanic women faculty.”

With the grant, Clemson has launched Tigers ADVANCE, an initiative to build a culture of diversity, inclusiveness and acceptance.

Atamturktur and more than 40 faculty members and students spent two years identifying major challenges to women and minorities in STEM faculty positions at Clemson University.

The initiative will include a program to train faculty to recognize biases; diverse search committees; a pipeline for women into institutional leadership roles; and increased opportunities for joint-hires of spouses or partners.

Tigers ADVANCE is also being used to increase the number of women being considered for faculty positions at Clemson. The

university will also be putting measures in place to retain female faculty members.

“We will strive to match the representation of women in faculty positions to the number of candidates available for those positions in the national pool,” Atamturktur said.

According to the university, of the 14,499

faculty applicants to Clemson between 2010 and 2014, 23 percent were women, 10.7 percent were minority women and 0.7 percent were African-American women.

“Our search committees absolutely are doing a good job of identifying talented women and bringing them to campus,” Atamturktur said. “The problem is the number of women in our applicant pools is very, very low. We’re starting with fewer options.”

To make matters worse, women faculty members leave Clemson more than men despite receiving tenure and promotions at an equal rate. Between 2011 and 2014, 56 percent of assistant professors who left were women. But in STEM fields, 28 percent of tenured or tenure-track faculty members who left were women. Women made up only 19 percent of the faculty during that timeframe.

Clemson has decided to extend the initiative to non-STEM departments as well.

“There are clear economic and societal benefits for engaging the talents of people from every demographic. They bring a diversity of ideas and excellence with them,” Atamturktur said.

“We believe this is the only way to achieve institution-wide impact and sustainable transformation,” she added.

That effort will include tracking underrepresented faculty hired, promoted and advanced into leadership roles, as well as supporting efforts to increase diversity in all applicant pools. Clemson also plans to conduct climate surveys.

“At the end of the day, the best determinants of whether the institution has transformed or not will be the Clemson faculty, the diversity of the Clemson faculty and their responses to the climate surveys,” said Atamturktur. “Five years from now, our campus should be a lot more diverse with a more inclusive culture and more openness to new ideas.”

Ron McKinney wasn’t a developer or an elected official, but he had as much impact on Greenville as any of them. Known for his keen wit and impeccable integrity, McKinney played a critical role in the development of downtown and the West End as Greenville’s city attorney from 1995 until his retirement in April 2014.

“He was a perfect fit for the city of Greenville,” said developer Bo Aughtry, who called McKinney a gentleman and a gentle man. “He looked at things from a perspective of reasonableness. He didn’t see the private sector on one side and the public sector on another. If it was for the greater good of the community, he saw it as a common goal. He was a very able attorney who, in his role with the city, always had a balanced perspective and an approach of facilitating good business.”

McKinney was found dead in his McDaniel Avenue home last Wednesday. He was 68. Greenville County Coroner Park Evans said in a news release that an autopsy performed Thursday found no signs of foul play but the cause and manner of death are pending results from the Medical Examiners Office.

Mayor Knox White called McKinney the “heart and soul” of City Hall.

“Ron was a pillar of this organization for almost 20 years and played a critical role in our becoming a world-class city that we are today,” he said. “We have lost a cherished member of the city family and Greenville has lost a devoted advocate.”

Law school classmate Ken Young paid perhaps the ultimate compliment in a post on McKinney’s Facebook page. Young found himself opposite McKinney at the negotiating table on behalf of a billboard client.

“He was always wonderfully polite and refreshingly candid. Never a hidden punch,” Young wrote. “We always found middle ground and avoided needless litigation. If all lawyers were like Ron, there would be no lawyer jokes.”

Deb Sofield, a former member of the Greenville City Council, said she remembers McKinney for the twinkle in his eye and his sense of humor.

“They say if you are attending a boring political rally, you want to sit next to a judge or sheriff. I’d add Ron McKinney to that list. He had the best stories and sense of humor,” said Sofield, who called McKinney a mentor when she was a new City Council member.

McKinney was an expert in oriental rugs and a barbecue connoisseur, Sofield said.

He was an avid reader and an opera buff.

Prior to joining the City of Greenville, McKinney was in private practice for a firm in Greer whose members served as city attorneys for the cities of Greer and Travelers Rest. During his tenure with Greenville, he served as interim city manager in 2000 and again in 2003.

McKinney, a native Greenvillian, earned a bachelor’s degree in history from Furman University, where he was student body president, and a master’s from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

He earned his law degree from the University of South Carolina and was admitted to the S.C. Bar in 1978. McKinney argued and won landmark cases before the South Carolina Supreme Court and was a former president of the S.C. Municipal Attorneys Association.

McKinney resided in Greenville with his wife, Kathy Crum McKinney, a bond attorney with Haynsworth Sinkler Boyd. McKin-

Drones Over the Farmland Clemson drones could boost US farm production ANDREW MOORE | STAFF

amoore@communityjournals.com

Drones could be flying across America’s farmland soon.

The Federal Aviation Administration has granted Clemson University a special license for researchers to pilot unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) weighing less than 55 pounds anywhere in the United States.

One of those pilots is Joe Mari Maja.

Maja, a sensor engineer, joined Clemson’s precision-agriculture research program two years ago to develop techniques and technologies that could improve profitability and environmental sustainability in agriculture, South Carolina’s largest industry.

So he turned his attention to drones, which in recent years have been used by various industries, including retail and aerospace.

“I believe the applications for this are very diverse. UAV is a game-changer in precision agriculture,” said Maja, who works at Clemson University’s Edisto Research and Education Center in Blackville, S.C. Precision agriculture is a method that reduces waste and optimizes farm equipment

and materials by determining the amount and locations of water, fertilizer and chemicals to specific areas of land where products are needed. This reduces the misapplication of products and increases crop and farm efficiency.

In December 2015, Maja was granted a license from the Federal Aviation Administration to use a drone in agricultural research in Barnwell County. Maja has since used drones to monitor crop health and gather data to improve farming productivity by letting farmers know when and where to water, fertilize or spray crops.

Maja is currently developing sensors that can transmit crop data from drones to wearable devices such as smart glasses. He is also developing a circuit board that allows drones to communicate directly with farm technology irrigation systems.

“That’s my dream,” Maja said.

Farmers could reap the benefits of the technology.

The drones allow for quicker crop monitoring: One drone can survey and collect data from a 10-acre field in less than five minutes, according to Maja. That would take a person

days or weeks to complete.

The drones could also help farmers improve soil quality and eradicate pests and diseases faster, according to Maja. That is particularly important in South Carolina, where fields are subject to high degrees of soil variability.

The technology is expected to become a farm staple.

Agriculture drones could eventually account for 80 percent of the commercial market, according to the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, the trade group that represents producers and users of drones.

As that growth happens, Clemson University will be helping drive industry innovation as the new license also allows the university to register more employees as drone pilots, which could lead to new projects.

Maja said he plans to develop training and certification materials for university operators.

NEWS IN BRIEF DEVELOPMENT

55 Camperdown Way project moves forward at DRB One of the dozen people who spoke at the Design Review Board Urban Panel meeting in opposition of a planned mixed-use development at 55 Camperdown Way says the project will harm Falls Park and has shown a gaping hole in the city’s planning process.

“Falls Park has no protection. None,” said David Sweatt, a RiverPlace resident with 40 years in commercial banking and real estate. “This is not good for Falls Park and this is not good for the

City of Greenville.”

The urban panel of the city’s Design Review Board approved a certificate of appropriateness for the 55 Camperdown project with four conditions: that Centennial American Properties submit final site design for DRB approval; that the project comply with city stormwater requirements; that public easement to the river is provided and that a balcony be incorporated into the southwest corner of the building at the Main Street level to give view access to the park from the Main Street bridge.

Sweatt said Falls Park is not in the West End Historic District and that the Main Street Bridge

THANK YOU! for voting us Best of the Upstate

receives no historic protection. “The current planning system treats Falls Park as ‘central business district,’” he said. “That’s just wrong. It has to be fixed.”

Representatives of the Greenville County Historic Society, two garden clubs and Upstate Forever, told the DRB that the building would negatively impact Falls Park and the river as well as hide some of downtown’s historic aspects.

“It is out of place. It feels forced and it looks greedy,” said Lindsey Strand, executive director of the Greenville County Historic Society.

Nikki Grumbine of the Friends of the Reedy River said she doesn’t believe any building would be

appropriate for that site. City engineers said a minimum 25-foot stream buffer measured from the edge of the water of the river is required and that the buffer must average 50 feet. No structure is permitted within 25 feet of the river’s edge.

Brody Glenn of Centennial said he understands how important the property is to Greenville.

“We’re Greenville people. We want to make sure what we build is an asset to Greenville,” he said.

NEWS IN BRIEF PUBLICITY

The press praises Greenville … again Little ol’ Greenville has racked up quite the recognition as of late.

The Wall Street Journal has named our town one of the Top 10 “buzzy, newly accessible destinations,” along with some pretty impressive international locations, like Abu Dhabi. And “Southern Living” lauded it as a “foodie paradise.” Locals certainly wouldn’t disagree.

Now the Nashville daily The Tennessean has called it “a great choice for a long weekend trip, especially in the fall,” in a story called “Greenville, S.C. thrives with hip urban core.”

The report gives a brief history of Greenville’s transition from a mill town to a destination city before providing a weekender’s guide to downtown, beginning with a visit to Falls Park on the Reedy. Then it highlights the Peace Center, the abundant Southern cuisine, the locally owned boutique shops along Main Street, the Heritage Green museums and of course, the Swamp Rabbit Trail.

Sounds like a perfect weekend to us, too. —Ariel Turner

DEVELOPMENT

Federal courthouse construction to begin in 2018 Construction of the long awaited new federal courthouse in downtown Greenville is expected to begin in 2018.

The project, which received initial funding in 2004, will take three years to complete, according to information given to the Greenville City Council last Monday during a discussion about the city’s state and federal legislative agenda.

The General Services Administration earmarked nearly $93 million for site preparation, design and construction of a new courthouse and inside parking spaces across from the Greenville County Courthouse in its Courthouse Investment Plan last year. That’s on top of the $11 million earmarked for the Greenville project in 2004. In 2013, the federal government purchased 2.4 acres on East North Street.

The new facility will be called the Carroll A. Campbell Jr. Federal Courthouse in honor of the late Greenville native and South Carolina governor.

The new courthouse is expected to be 10 stories tall and will contain seven courtrooms and nine chambers to accommodate nine judges. Other court-related tenants include the U.S. Probation, Federal Public Defender and U.S. Department of Justice agencies.

When the new courthouse is completed, the Clement F. Haynsworth Federal Building will be used by the Court of Appeals and Bankruptcy Court.

Mayor Knox White said the city is having discussions with the GSA’s Atlanta office about design, parking and landscape compatibility issues. —Cindy Landrum

Fifteen-year-old Tim Pitts had three fractures in his back, a sports injury attributed to overuse.

Too Much of a Good Th ing

Young athletes are experiencing more injuries thanks to one-sport focus MELINDA YOUNG | CONTRIBUTOR

myoung@communityjournals.com

Tennis is embedded in Tim Pitts’ bones, in his DNA. The sport, which his father, Eric, played in college, is so imprinted on the 15-year-old that it left a visible mark of fractures along his spine.

For two years, the teenager played tennis despite recurring pain. His family and the physical therapist that treated him thought his injury was muscular. Tim had grown nearly a foot between ages 12 and 14. He was strong, athletic and had a powerful serve and forehand. “Tim would be in the match and all of a sudden he’d quit playing and say his back hurt,” recalls Bricey Pitts, Tim’s mother.

Symptoms would come and go until a match in Knoxville, Tenn., when he vomited after winning the first set 6-0. Then he had to forfeit in the second set when he couldn’t bend over to pick up a tennis ball. “It was the worst pain I’ve ever experienced. I couldn’t sit up straight,” Tim says.

“After that weekend, I called the pediatrician and said, ‘He has been going to a physical therapist for two years, and it hasn’t gotten better. Can you do an X-ray?’” Bricey says.

The MRI showed that Tim had three fractures in his back, all attributed to overuse.

In the teen tennis player’s experience, this meant he was suffering from too much of a good thing.

Sports injuries caused by overuse — playing one sport too often — have been on the rise. They account for half of all adolescent and teenage sports injuries and impact young athletes who spend hours daily in practice, according to recent studies, says Dr. Neeru Jayanthi, an Emory sports medicine physician and director of tennis medicine in Atlanta. Jayanthi also is a researcher and the president of the International Society for Tennis Medicine & Science.

“The bottom line is that we’ve seen in the last 15 to 20 years a trend toward specialization,” says Dr. Alan G. Posta Jr., chief of the

shoulder service at Eastside Hospital and orthopedic sports medicine specialist at Bon Secours St. Francis (BSSF).

“It used to be kids playing multiple sports in different seasons of the year. Now they play one sport, and they play on multiple teams within the same sport,” says Dr. Christopher Bray, an orthopedic surgeon with the Greenville Health System (GHS) Steadman Hawkins Clinic of the Carolinas. “Instead of basketball in the winter, baseball in the spring and football in the summer — where you use different muscle groups — they’re playing year-round baseball and playing on three baseball teams, so you don’t get the same break for a certain muscle group when you do that.”

Research suggests overuse injuries are a new trend. For example, a large clinical study of more than 1,200 athletes between ages eight and 18 found that overuse injuries are increasing. Researchers learned that young athletes who play more hours per week than their age are twice as likely to be

COMMUNITY

injured.

For instance, an 8-year-old should not play more than eight hours a week. The more time a young athlete spends at a single sport, the greater the overuse injury risk.

Concussions and ACL tears might make up the headlines, but overuse injuries are more frequently the problem for the young, Jayanthi says.

For instance, youth baseball and softball players have had five times as many serious shoulder and elbow injuries in the past 16

years as they did in the 1990s, suggests data published on Stop Sports Injuries.

Posta recently saw two young baseball players with overuse injuries. One teenage boy had “Little League shoulder,” which is a fracture that sometimes is seen in softball and baseball players who are not skeletonmature. “Because of stress on the joint, they actually fracture the growth plate,” Posta explains.

Gage Laymon, 14, and his sister Gabrielle, 16, are textbook examples of this phenom-

‘‘ If it wasn’t for givers, I wouldn’t be a mother.

enon. Gage, who is a freshman at Riverside High School, has been a baseball player for about half of his life. He pitches and plays second base, and last year he was the left fielder for the Northwood team that made it to the Little League World Series, says his mother, Connie Laymon.

Gage played year-round baseball, complaining occasionally of pain in his elbow and lower bicep. This fall the pain escalated, causing him to stop pitching, although he continued to make his freshman team’s

fall practice. “When you’re a freshman in high school, you don’t want to jeopardize fall practice, because you want to make the team,” his mother explains.

Then, at one fall practice, he and another player collided in the outfield, head to collarbone, sending Gage to the doctor to make sure his collarbone wasn’t broken. The X-ray showed that the collarbone would be fine — no breaks, but there was a stress fracture in Gage’s shoulder’s growth plate.

“The doctor said, ‘We’re shutting you

down,’” Connie recalls.

The experience was a bit of déjà vu for the Laymon family, as Gage’s older sister Gabrielle had a similar shoulder stress fracture when she was 14. Her sport was softball, and she had been a catcher on two teams, practicing weekdays and playing tournaments on weekends.

“She played a crazy amount of softball that summer, but her injury was gradual and it never dawned on me that it could be a stress fracture,” Connie says. “It was one of those moments when I felt like a really bad mom. Why did I let her do this? But it was her passion.”

With 11 children, all in sports, the Laymons have seen a variety of sports injuries, including tendon tears, wrestling injuries and surgeries, football injuries and the sorts of minor problems that come with soccer and dancing.

But overuse injuries are a new phenomenon among their offspring, and the injuries weren’t because the Laymons were pushing their children to be sports stars.

“Honestly, in our house, we don’t push our kids to play any sports,” Laymon says. “They have to want to play, and we want them to try different things to see what their passion is, what their talents are.”

Often, it is the young athlete who decides he or she wants to specialize in a favorite sport. “I think the biggest thing we’ve seen over the last 10–15 years is kids are starting to decide on a single sport early on,” Bray says.

Sports coaches and programs often encourage — or even require — young athletes to put in daily hours practicing a single sport.

“I’m hearing there are so many full-time tennis kids and programs that encourage it,” Jayanthi says. “If you’re in that environment, and you decide to do it, then recognize the

problems early.”

Parents and athletes can limit the risk of overuse injuries by limiting practices to fewer hours per week and by not letting the child specialize until middle or late adolescence, he says.

Other than that, they need to recognize these injuries early, particularly in the higher risk areas of the lower back, elbow and shoulder, he says.

In the Pitts family, this message now has sunk in, particularly as Tim has two younger brothers who also are top

regional tennis players. “It made me aware to give the kids more time off and to not have them do the same thing every day,” Bricey says.

While recovering from his broken back, Tim Pitts had time to research orthopedic and overuse injuries, nurturing a budding interest in medicine that might one day replace his passion for tennis. “Over the winter, we had an internship week of school, and I did an internship with an orthopedic surgeon at GHS,” he says. “I liked it a lot.”

Soccer program for disabled vets kicked off Nov. 4 An eight-month soccer program focused on supporting disabled veterans kicked off Nov. 4 at Clemson University.

Skye Arthur-Banning, an associate professor in Clemson’s parks, recreation and tourism management department, secured funding from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to grow the sport of soccer with disabled veterans. The funds will be used to develop and educate player-coaches who will then assemble and coach teams of disabled veterans.

The $52,000 awarded by the grant represents the only money given in 2016 to specifically fund Paralympic soccer by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Arthur-Banning will work with several veterans and representatives from

U.S. Soccer over the project’s duration that will culminate in several matchups between the assembled teams.

“These men have already given so much to their country, and now they want to give back to their communities and fellow wounded warriors,” Arthur-Banning said.

Arthur-Banning worked with Stuart Sharp, head coach of the U.S. Paralympic National Soccer Team, to assemble a group for the five-day camp last weekend. The camp focused on sports leadership, coaching and recruitment training.

The participating coaches will then take lessons learned back to their own communities to assemble teams of veterans. Arthur-Banning said grant money will provide six months of resources for coaches to pull teams together and for necessary training expenses.

the coaches involved in the camp.

be too old, but he tried out anyway.

Taylor suffered a traumatic brain injury that went undiagnosed for months after an encounter with an improvised explosive device in December 2010.

“I realized I was too old for the team, but I don’t play timid. I told Sharp I wanted to be involved,” Taylor said. “I want to be around young guys who I’ve got something in common with.”

It was only after returning to the U.S. on leave two months later that he and his family started seeing the real effects. His wife and kids noticed something wasn’t right. He had constant migraines, tremors and he frequently forgot things.

After Taylor and the other coaches have a few months to assemble and train teams, Taylor and other coaches will return to campus in April to become national, D-licensed U.S. Soccer coaches. In June, the three teams will participate in exhibition matches where they’ll be able to put months of practice to use in competition.

“I didn’t see the effects, but the onion started to peel,” Taylor said. “I was a real jerk and I was a bad father; I finally started to realize that it was affecting my family and it was time to do something about it.”

After his diagnosis, he was stationed in the East Coast’s Wounded Warrior Battalion, where he saw a flyer for the U.S. Paralympic Team soccer camp. At 44 years old, Taylor thought he might

“There’s no reason everyone involved can’t get something out of this,” Arthur-Banning said. “Our students can gauge how much of an effect this experience has on these veterans, we can grow Paralympic soccer in communities and we can have a positive effect on people who have given so much.”

James Beard winner to serve ‘big bad breakfast’ at Bacon Bros.

This is a fact that every Southerner knows: Breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day, it’s the best. At least when it’s done right — that means no cereal, no smoothies and absolutely no Cream of Wheat.

And few folks do breakfast better than John Currence, the Oxford, Miss., James Beard-winning chef of City Grocery, Snackbar, Lamar Lounge and Big Bad Breakfast.

The latter restaurant serves up such gut-busting dishes as the Last Gentleman (three-piece plate of Coca-Cola-brined fried chicken with mac and cheese and slaw), Yard Work (two eggs scrambled with zucchini, squash, mushrooms, spinach, onions, peppers, tomatoes, sweet potato hash, fresh herbs, goat cheese and Swiss cheese) and the Pylon (split, griddle-fried hot dog with chili, slaw, cheddar cheese, mustard, chopped pickles, onion, jalapeños and crackers on a waffle).

We don’t know about you, but that gets our mouths a-watering.

If you’re the same, then you’ll be pleased to know that Chef Currence is coming to Bacon Bros. Public House Sunday, Nov. 13, to serve a three-course meal.

For the first course, Currence is serving shakshouka with baked eggs, San Marzano tomatoes, feta cheese and warm buttered pita. For second, it’s his Hangtown Fry with fried oysters, soft scrambled eggs, table sauce and bacon, while the third brings monkey bread with apples, currants, chopped nuts and brown sugar. On the table, you’ll find buttermilk biscuits and cornbread using the Lowcountry heirloom grain, Jimmy Red Corn.

Tickets are $30 (brunch, drinks) and $60 (brunch, drinks and a copy of Currence’s new cookbook, "Big Bad Breakfast"). To buy tickets, visit Eventbrite. —Chris Haire

Taste of Table 301 offers a small preview of Jianna At last Wednesday’s Taste of Table 301, we watched Jianna’s Chef Michael Kramer use a classically inspired meat slicer to cut through a massive hunk of beautiful, buttery ham, and it was a delight to watch. This is going to be a crowd-pleaser, like watching the doughnuts get made at Krispy Kreme, but for carnivores.

We also got to sample one of Chef Kramer’s dishes: rigatoni with smoked bacon, tomato and Grana Padano. It was light and bright, with each smoky bite of bacon serving as a little savory surprise.

While we expect good things from the menu, we were happy to learn that Jianna will be offering specialty negronis — the Campari-based cocktail that has experienced resurgence in recent years. At Taste of Table 301, Jianna offered their take on a boulevardier, but instead of using vermouth, they use the classic Italian digestif Averna alongside Elijah Craig bourbon and Campari, and they call the whole thing The Count. It was slightly bitter and medicinal thanks to the Campari, with the Averna and marinated cherry giving it a bit of sweetness, while the bourbon gave it an oak-barrel smokiness. Confession: We had more than one.

Judging by Jianna’s offerings at Taste of Table 301 and Kramer’s work at The Lazy Goat, which is arguably the star player of the Table 301 team, the new West End restaurant should find more than a few fans of modern Italian cuisine.

The 5,800-square-foot restaurant will feature a 40-foot bar that offers both indoor and outdoor seating on the second story of the new Falls Park Place development at the corner of Main Street and Falls Park Drive. Jianna is also set to have an open kitchen and pasta-making area. —Chris Haire

Billy Strings to play Upcountry Provisions oyster roast The Travelers Rest bistro and bakery will host a bluegrass fave Dec. 1 Billy Strings, International Bluegrass Music Association instrumentalist of the year, will be playing his unique brand of modern bluegrass, complete with a loop pedal board nearly as impressive as Ed Sheeran’s. Strings will perform around the campfire, while guests enjoy a small plate menu of oysters and the usual fixin’s.

Upcountry Provisions chefs Steve and Cheryl Kraus and Jaimee Park, along with chef Greg McPhee of The Anchorage, will be collaborating to serve unique flavor combinations paired with craft beer and wine selections.

The event will be held at The Grove at Upcountry Provisions, 6809 State Park Road, Travelers Rest, from 6–10 p.m. Early-bird tickets are $45. Regular price is $55. Cash bar not included in ticket price.

The First Family of American Painting Upcoming ‘Wyeth Dynasty’ exhibit shows family’s depth of talent and expands GCMA’s Wyeth collection ARIEL TURNER | CONTRIBUTOR

aturner@communityjournals.com

It’s rare to have five members of the same family presenting an equally impressive level of artistic skill worthy of display in the same exhibit.

The Greenville County Museum of Art’s “Wyeth Dynasty” capitalizes on this rarity.

The exhibit is a celebration of the upcoming centennial of painter Andrew Wyeth’s birth, featuring works by the first family of American painting – Andrew (1917-2009); his father, N. C. (1882-1945); his son Jamie (b. 1946); and his sisters Carolyn (19091994) and Henriette (1907-1997).

The exhibit, featuring 75 examples from the family’s prolific body of work, opens with a GCMA members’ reception on Nov. 15 and for the general public on Nov. 16. It will run through Sept. 10, 2017.

To commemorate the opening, Jamie Wyeth will be traveling from his home in Wilmington, Del., to meet with GCMA patrons at a private dinner on Nov. 14. Additionally, tours and educational opportunities will continue throughout its duration.

In July, the museum will also feature a photography exhibit, “My Andy,” by Andrew’s granddaughter, Victoria Wyeth of Philadelphia. The exhibit focuses on portraits of her grandfather in a behindthe-scenes look at many of the places he painted, bringing the “Wyeth Dynasty” full circle.

And as always, admission to these exhibits is free because of ongoing financial support from local patrons.

“The community did this,” says Chesnee Klein, GCMA curator. “It’s amazing we have this collection and it’s free.”

It’s not news that GCMA is home to the world’s largest public collection of watercolors by Andrew Wyeth. The acquisitions for this exhibit, however, will significantly expand on the museum’s Wyeth family holdings. Among the new selections are three egg temperas, which is a fast-drying Renaissance painting technique, several charcoal drawings and rarely seen studies of final paintings.

Studies are the painter’s equivalent of a rough draft, explains Ellen Westkaemper, head of education for GCMA. Often, the final painted product will only loosely resemble the initial charcoal concept.

Also among less frequently viewed works is a self-portrait Andrew Wyeth painted in 1945 for the National Academy of Design.

Klein says it is especially unusual to have a self-portrait of Andrew Wyeth because his subjects were almost always his surroundings.

Of the 75 pieces in the exhibit, 10 are by Jamie, three are by N.C. and two each are

by Carolyn and Henriette. Carolyn was her nephew Jamie’s primary teacher, although his father Andrew, or “Andy” as he preferred, was also involved. The paintings by

N.C., Carolyn and Henriette are hung so the similarities and differences can be seen side-by-side, with the exception of one illustration N.C. created for a book published in Charleston.

Jamie’s brightly colored portraits are displayed on the opposite side of the gallery from the other family members and show a sharp contrast to the muted neutrals of the others’ palettes. Jamie’s subjects include his mother; his contemporary Andy Warhol, whose portrait “Consumé,” painted on corrugated cardboard, pictures him sitting among a busy social scene calmly drinking his soup; and a nude rear-view of Arnold Schwarzenegger in Jamie’s apartment with Central Park visible out the window.

Andrew’s wife, Betsy, still lives in Chadds Ford, Pa., where he painted a large portion of his work. The Maine islands of Monhegan and Cushing, where the family spent each summer, are the settings for most of his other paintings. Both are heavily represented in the GCMA collection.

Andrew did, however, take one trip to a South Carolina barrier island just after selling out his first solo art show at the William Macbeth Gallery in New York City in 1937.

His trip south lasted only a couple of weeks as he recharged from what must have been an emotionally exhausting experience, but he still painted a handful of pieces. GCMA has one of those paintings, “Under the Live Oaks.”

Planting Trees for a Return on Your Investment

If you ask a child to draw a tree, most will draw a flare at the bottom of the trunk. Compare this picture to newly planted trees in residential and commercial developments. Do you see that trunk flare? If you don’t, the trees are planted too deep and/or over mulched. Planting trees too deep is the most common mistake and the easiest to correct. Planting trees at the proper depth will help them live to maturity and benefit generations yet to come.

There’s a common saying among Arborists, “don’t plant a $100 tree in a $10 hole.” A tree should be planted in a hole about 3 times the width of the diameter of the root ball. Straps, burlap, wire baskets, and soil on top of the root ball need to be removed to expose the first main root and the trunk flare. Unfortunately, many trees planted in new residential and commercial development are dropped in holes too deep that are not much wider than the root ball.

Over mulching is another common mistake.

Over mulching promotes trunk rot, encourages pests and diseases, promotes girdling roots, and negatively impacts the health of a tree. Mulch piled up against the trunk causes decline and tree death. Mulch should always be kept off the tree trunk. Mulch should only be about 2-4 inches deep.

As the landscape of Greenville County changes we are losing mature canopy. It’s important that newly planted trees grow, thrive, and survive to maturity. Mature trees provide economic, environmental, and public health benefits. Trees clean the air. Trees cool the air and prevent ground level ozone from forming. Trees help us meet federal air quality standards. Meeting federal air quality standards is important to our local economy.

Trees properly planted and maintained in an urban landscape will have better survival rates. If you want a return on your investment, properly plant and care for your trees. When paying to have this work done, ask for ANSI A300 standards to be followed. ANSI A300 standards are research based specifications for tree care practices.

Covering the Holidays Norman Rockwell exhibit features ‘Saturday Evening Post’ covers CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Many of the most recognized and beloved Norman Rockwell paintings on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post depicted the holidays, whether it was the presentation of a mouthwatering turkey at the Thanksgiving table or a rosy-cheeked Santa checking his list to see who was naughty or nice.

But the covers were also lessons in history.

Upcountry History Museum is hosting “Norman Rockwell’s Home for the Holidays,” a traveling exhibit from the artist’s museum in Stockbridge, Mass., through Jan. 29. The exhibition features more than 40 of the special holiday cover illustrations Rockwell completed for the Saturday Evening Post from 1916 to 1963.

Overall, Rockwell created more than 300 covers for the magazine.

“His work is so iconic, so memorable that almost every American has a Norman Rockwell image to which they can relate,” said Elizabeth

Gunter of the Upcountry History Museum. “And so many of his images are teachable moments.

They are more than magazine covers. They are history lessons built into magazine covers.”

Over the course of Rockwell’s career, he produced covers for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, Valentine’s Day, Easter, the Fourth of July and even April Fool’s Day, which included visual jokes and items that weren’t real such as flying penguins and mislabeled canned vegetables. “They had a sense of humor as well as a deep sense of humanity,” Gunter said of the April Fool’s covers.

Throughout the years, his holiday depictions shifted in subject and style, from Victorian-inspired Christmas images to Christmas in smalltown America.

In a quote from his biography on the Norman Rockwell Museum website, Rockwell said, “Without thinking too much about it in specific terms, I was showing the America I knew and observed to others who might not have noticed.”

Keeping the Faith Brothers resurrect NEEDTOBREATHE after feud nearly destroys the band VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR

vharris@communityjournals.com

In 2014, the Seneca, S.C., quartet NEEDTOBREATHE released their fifth album, “Rivers in the Wasteland.” It was the band’s usual mix of spiritual lyrics, anthemic, big-hearted rock and achingly introspective acoustic ballads. It was an unqualified commercial smash, debuting at No. 1 on both the Billboard Christian Album and Rock Album charts, reaching No. 3 on the Billboard 200, spawning a Grammy-nominated single (“Multiplied”) and selling more than 150,000 copies within a year. And it was also nearly the end of the band.

Brothers Bear (vocals/guitar) and Bo Rinehart (lead guitar), the nucleus of the group, were essentially at each other’s throats by the time “Rivers in the Wasteland” came out. “Bo and I had a huge fight and thought about breaking the band up,” Bear says. “It had a pretty dramatic effect on how we do things.”

Now based in Charleston, the band, which also includes bassist Seth Bolt and keyboard player Josh Lovelace, took a step back after years of constant touring and recording and decided to make some changes and clear the air. “We made some promises to ourselves and the band that we would care about each other more than we cared about the music or success,” Rinehart says. “And that’s helped us remember how much we enjoy what we do. We went back into the studio with a better perspective on things. Our music doesn’t necessarily define us now. It’s just something that we love to do.”

The Rineharts wrote the songs for their new album, “HARDLOVE,” in their respective home studios, using programmed drums to create their demos. The result of that different writing environment, plus the electronic percussion, resulted in an album that sounds different than anything the group has ever done. Awash with massive drumbeats, waves of synthesizers and massive vocal hooks, the album is, according Bear, “as much of a dance record as NEEDTOBREATHE is ever going to make.”

“I knew that the way the demos were sounding that it was going to be a different record,” he says. “But we’ve always felt like the bands we love continue to change and challenge themselves, and that came from real inspiration. There’s not a whole lot of inspiration in copying yourself. We’ve never seen the point of that. Our immediate thing is how do we change this up and make it feel fresh to us.”

Lyrically, the songs on “HARDLOVE” are full of gratitude, affection and themes of renewed determination. “What don’t kill you makes you stronger, get back up,” Rinehart sings on the title track. The pulsing “Great Night” takes things to a blissful extreme, with Rinehart exhorting people to “have a great night on the dance floor,” aided by a cameo appearance by, of all people, the adored rootsAmericana duo Shovels & Rope, also from Charleston.

NEEDTOBREATHE

“There’s no doubt that we’re talking about how thankful we are on the album,” Rinehart says. “Going through those times made us who we are right now, and the record is a happier record than we’ve ever made. It’s definitely about the place we are in life. We didn’t set out to do that, we didn’t know that was going to be the theme, but it happened naturally.”

As for the fans, NEEDTOBREATHE needn’t have worried if their new sound was going to throw their fans for a loop. The band actually went one spot higher on the Billboard 200 chart with “HARDLOVE,” all the way to No. 2.

“I think it’s made us incredibly proud,” Rinehart says. “We felt confident regardless of the reaction because it’s the record we were trying to make. It’s a reflection of who we are. But knowing that we made the record we wanted to make and it’s being received well, that’s just icing on the cake.”

NEEDTOBREATHE, w/ Mat Kearney, Parachute and Welshly Arms When: Friday, Nov. 11, 7 p.m.

Heavenly Metal Jonathan Scales takes the steel drum from the cruise ship to the jazz club VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR

vharris@communityjournals.com

Percussionist Jonathan Scales knows what you probably think about when you hear the words “steel drum.” He knows that the Trinidadian instrument, with its instantly recognizable metallic-butmelodic thrumming, will remind you of tropical destinations.

“A lot people associate the steel drums with cruise ships and vacations,” Scales says. “And some people think it’s a novelty instrument.” With his band, the Fourchestra, Scales hopes to show the true potential of the steel drums. Using the steel drums as both percussive and harmonic instrument, he creates melodies that dart and dance around subtly

stuttering basslines, sounding like a keyboard one moment and a Milt-Jacksonstyle xylophone the next. He has a deft touch that keeps his tone light, like sunlight dancing on a stream.

“When I was a junior in high school, I joined the drum line in marching band,” Scales says. “I was offered the opportunity at random and I took it. But it wasn’t until I got to college that I came across the steel drum, because there’s a steel drum ensemble at Appalachian State.”

Scales found a flexibility in the steel drums that fueled his compositional urge, but it wasn’t until he discovered another skilled player taking an unconventional approach to a well-known instrument that he felt like he might be on to something: banjo master Bela Fleck, whose hybrid jazz-bluegrass band The Flecktones became a major source of inspiration.

“I think the thing that hit me was that he was taking an instrument that people associated with something traditional and doing something different with it,” Scales says. “He wasn’t letting the stereotype of his instrument determine

CULTURE «

anything. He didn’t say, ‘I’m a banjo player, so I have to do this.’ That was something that really struck a chord with me. I was doing that with my instrument, and when I saw him trying different things and not letting his instrument be a binding thing, it was like validation, like, ‘Maybe I’m not crazy.’”

The feeling must be mutual among some of the elite genre-benders of jazz, because over the past decade, Scales has played or recorded with The Flecktones’ Victor Wooten and Howard Levy, as well as drummer Jeff Sipe, Allman Brothers bassist Otiel Burbridge and many more.

Scales has typically had a fluid membership in the Fourchestra throughout its decade of existence, and for the most part, that’s how he wanted it. “As a composer, it’s nice to work with different people,” he says. “And I don’t have to turn down any work. I can say yes to any date because I’ve built this network of amazing players that can come in and play this music. It gives me a lot of flexibility.”

But his current lineup, which has been in place for almost a year, is one he wants to keep around for a while. Drummer Robert “Sput” Searight is best known for his work with Snarky Puppy, but he’s also played with

Kendrick Lamar and Erykah Badu. Bassist Mono Neon was one of the last people to play with Prince before he died, and percussionist Weedie Braimah has played with The Nth Power. “This is a very special group,” he says.

Scales will also be leading a percussion master class at USC Upstate before his show at Gottrocks Wednesday night, and he says his approach to instructing students is to treat them as peers. “It might be a crazy way to think, but I walk in assuming that they already know everything that I could possibly tell them,” he laughs. “That allows me to play and do what I do, and then people start to tell

me what they want to know. We’re together in this room together for an hour; what do you want to have from this experience? What do you want to walk out of here knowing?”

The holidays, handwashing and hygiene

By Kimberly Baker, Marie Hegler, Adair Hoover Clemson University Cooperative Extension Service The very first things we wonder when becoming sick with a foodborne illness is what caused it and from where did we get it. We often consider our last meal to be the culprit.

Unfortunately, unless we have similar symptoms to someone who has been sick or who has shared a meal with us, we may never truly know the what, when, where, or how of a foodborne illness. We can, however, be proactive and protect ourselves from pathogens that cause foodborne illnesses. This can be especially important during the holiday season.

The holidays are known for the gathering of family and friends. We often attend more parties, dinners and get-togethers than normal, which means we increase our likelihood of exposure to certain bacteria and viruses. The handling of food and crowded spaces create ample opportunities for the growth of pathogens and the spread of foodborne illnesses.

While we don’t like to think about foodborne illnesses until we are actually sick, taking time in advance to review food safety practices can mean the difference between spreading holiday cheer and spreading foodborne illness. The Clemson Extension Food Safety and Nutrition team wants everyone to have a fun and healthy holiday season. In the latest installment of the Food Safety for Reel video series, “Holiday Food Safety,” we highlight some of the following precautionary measures to take during the holiday season.

OPEN HOUSE November 13 • Sunday 2-4pm

304 N Main Street Fountain Inn, SC

Double-Dipping – Double-dipping is known to spread illness. Just one bite of food or lick of a finger when passing food can transfer enough bacteria to make someone else sick.

Pets at the table – Pets at the table or near any food contact surface can spread unwanted bacteria. Just think about the places pets walk and the surfaces they lick.

Sick people – Those who are sick are also carrying bacteria. These bacteria can easily spread when hands are not washed thoroughly, or by sneezing followed by touching a food contact surface that is then touched by others.

So remember to avoid double-dipping, to keep pets away from food contact surfaces, to wash hands with hot soapy water for at least 20 seconds and to stay away from the party or take the necessary precautions if you are sick. We don’t want to see anyone’s family holiday ruined by a foodborne illness!

99 Problems, But the Milk Ain’t One oats is helping the milk situation. Oats are considered a “lactogenic” food, which are said to increase milk supply.

Science has neither proven nor disproven this claim, but the widespread reported experience of mothers suggests that eating oats indeed boosts milk supply. Add this to the humble oat’s list of accolades.

The path to motherhood was not the sunny stroll I had anticipated. As with so many other couples, our journey was full of potholes. We struggled to conceive, and there were multiple, confounding issues that were preventing pregnancy. It seemed that every time the doctors discovered one and then solved it, another problem would then be evident. It took two years of troubleshooting, rivers of tears and mountains of cash to have our daughter.

I gave birth to our first child about three months ago, and she was certainly worth the wait.

The first couple of months presented more challenges because, for whatever the reason, the universe was apparently keeping to the theme. She was born six weeks premature and lived her first three weeks of life in a clear plastic box in the NICU. I spent those days at her bedside and spent those nights waking every three hours to pump breast milk for her. While she was still in the NICU, we discovered a major water leak and corresponding mold situation at our house. We brought her home to a kitchen zipped up in plastic like some kind of HGTV nightmare. I could go on and on about how inconvenient it was to camp out in the nursery with an infant while contractors took over our entire downstairs doing their thing — hammering, pounding and making other terrifying loud construction sounds that I don’t

Unfortunately, the majority of oat products on the market are loaded with sugar. Flavored oatmeal, granola, snack bars and even “lactation cookies” targeted to breast-feeding women are just desserts in a healthylooking disguise. This is particularly problematic as a new mom wishing to shrink my postpartum belly while maximizing milk production. Eating plain oats out of the can is a healthy option, but a rather boring one. Luckily, making my own tasty, low-or-no-sugar oat cereal is incredibly easy.

have words to describe. But this is where the pity party stops.

In some unlikely stroke of luck, it turns out I have a rich and plentiful breast milk supply. One of the NICU nurses called it “the heavy cream” of breast milk, and I make far more than my daughter needs. It’s truly a blessing. Certainly genetics plays a large role, but I have to wonder if my longtime love affair with

This vanilla spice oat cereal is a fantastic recipe for getting a day’s fill of oats while controlling the level of sugar. I prefer this recipe without any sugar at all — some cold milk and a sliced banana add just enough sweetness in my opinion — but you can certainly add maple syrup as a sweetener. The oats are toasted, maturing the flavors of the spices and adding a rich, nutty flavor and texture. The

• 1 egg white • 1 tsp. vanilla bean paste or pure vanilla extract (do not use vanilla “flavoring”) • 1 tsp. cinnamon • 1/2 tsp. nutmeg • 1/4 tsp. ground ginger • 1/4 tsp. salt

Dry ingredients

• sunflower oil or another light-tasting oil such as grapeseed

• 3 1/4 cup rolled oats (do not use quick-cook oats)

• maple syrup (optional)

• 1/4 cup chia seeds

Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a 1-cup measuring cup, whisk together egg white, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.

If using maple syrup, add it here (up to 1/4 cup), then add oil until the total volume of the wet ingredients is 2/3 cup. If not

• 1/2 cup roasted, unsalted pumpkin seeds Wet ingredients

using syrup, just add oil to egg/spice mixture until you get to 2/3 cup of total wet ingredients. Give the wet ingredients a good whisking and pour them into the dry ingredients. Stir to coat the dry ingredients evenly with the wet ingredients.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the oats onto the sheet in an even layer. Bake in a 300-degree oven for 10 minutes. Stir, bake 8 more minutes, stir then bake 5 more minutes. The total baking time may vary from oven to oven.

You want the oats to be toasted and golden — but pull them out of the oven before they start to burn.

Gláss w/ Eureka California & Feather Trade Radio Room | 2845 N. Pleasantburg Drive | 9 p.m. | $5 (over 21)/$7 (under)

On their album Accent, the Greenville trio Gláss creates a sound that’s somehow massive and basic. Repeated guitar figures, elliptical, fragmented lyrics and pulsing rhythms feed songs that are infectiously melodic. But the trio can shift gears on a dime, moving from blissfully languid verses to jarring, jagged instrumental passages. The lyrics are more impressionistic than narrative, like a Morse code of confused or disassociated phrases.

Those feelings of uncertainty and unease came naturally to the band’s singer/guitarist Aaron Burke. He’s spent most of the last four years adjusting to his new life after moving from Scotland to America with his mother and stepfather. “The move affected me hugely,” he says, “and I tried to convey the distant and uncomfortable feelings that I had about it in this record. Really, for the past two years, my move to America has really been the main subject I’ve written about.” —Vincent Harris

“A Thousand Cranes”

Flat Rock Playhouse, Playhouse Downtown 125 S Main St., Hendersonvlle Friday (7 p.m.), Saturday (2 and 7 p.m.), Sunday at (2 p.m.)

Seats from $10 to $18 Flat Rock Playhouse presents a Studio 52 production, “A Thousand Cranes.” This show tells the true story of Sadako Sasaki, who was a 2-year-old in the center of the 1945 bombing of Hiroshima. Although seemingly unharmed at the time, 10 years later she was diagnosed with “radiation sickness,” or leukaemia. While in the hospital, Sadako attempted to follow the Japanese legend that her wish of healing would be granted if she folded 1,000 paper cranes.

Singer/songwriter Ian Fitzgerald recorded his last album, 2013’s “No Time to Be Tender,” in four days with three additional musicians, one of whom was the producer. So when his new album, “You Won’t Even Know I’m Gone,” took a lot longer than that with a lot more musicians involved, he started getting a little nervous. But it turns out he just needed to find the right setting for his unassuming, disarmingly catchy acoustic folk. “I went in with a band that had two additional guitars, bass and drums,” Fitzgerald says of the sessions. “But as I started working on those I thought maybe the arrangements weren’t exactly what I was looking for, so I went back in with some other friends of mine. It was difficult but gratifying when I finally figured out what the sound was.” Fitzgerald’s music is so direct and his lyrical eye is so incisive that the tendency is to think of his songs as autobiographical, but he says he avoids simply singing about his life. “I don’t want people in my life to feel like if they say something to me that I’m going to jot it down and turn it into a song,” he says. —Vincent Harris

Susto w/ Vilai Harrington The Spinning Jenny, 107 Cannon St., Greer 8 p.m. | $10 (adv)/$12 (door) In 2014, the Charleston band Susto released their debut self-titled album. Written largely by singer/guitarist Justin Osborne, the songs on the album took basic acoustic roots-rock and imbued them with a haunted atmosphere of mystery, all the better for Osborne’s lyrical ruminations on regret, confusion and the past. And to his surprise, the album has slowly but surely built momentum over the last two years, allowing the band to tour continuously. “I thought we made a good record,” Osborne says, “but I didn’t know if we were going to do anything with it. We’re still riding the wave of it two-and-a-half years later, and it’s been really good for us.” The band has finished up their second album, which will be out early next year, and Osborne says he’s ready for people to hear Susto’s next step. “I’m anxious to start playing the new songs,” he says. “We’re excited to move forward. We took some chances sonically with the kind of Americana, alt-country sound on the first record, and people responded really well, so we kind of magnified that on the second record. It feels very much like the next chapter for the band.” —Vincent Harris

From soulful indie-folk, alt-country and stripped down rock to heavy metal, funk, voodoo hexes and hip-hop, the fifth annual Jam Room Music Festival is bringing 12 bands, two stages and an all-around street party to downtown Columbia on Nov. 12.

Roberts’ exhibition, Indigo Curtain, is an extension of her philosophy, which says, “My practice is a meditation on time and its role in the decay of objects and memories. Inspiration is drawn from historical objects, the architecture around me, or a personal relationship. My processes are repetitive and labor intensive; I draw, construct and weave using materials to depict fleeting, fragile moments and to examine the temporary physicality of an object or idea.” bit.ly/2evIUsz

Townes Lecture on Faith and Reason in Shaw Hall of the Younts Conference Center on the Furman University campus. Smith’s talk, “Why Scientists Playing Amateur Atheology Fail,” examines the capabilities and limits of scientific authority to help us know what we can and cannot rationally believe about possible religious truths. Smith explores questions such as, do natural and social scientists have the capacity to make claims about the existence of God, the meaning of the universe or other metaphysical positions? Can science prove or disprove religious beliefs? Is atheism more scientific than belief in God? 294-3107 | bit.ly/2flEDoP vince.moore@furman.edu

Where I’ve Been with Bill Koon

Spinning, Moving Forward and Doubling Down I’m sure you have noticed that the news is full of recalls, denials and apologies.

I’m a big believer in correcting errors and asking forgiveness. But really!

Volkswagen is losing a few billion because it cheated on the fuel efficiency of its diesel engines. My first car was a 1960 Beetle with a canvas sunroof. My mother and I bought it together; she drove it to work on weekdays and I drove it all over creation on weekends. It had its disadvantages, of course. That sunroof was a little leaky, which meant that, in winter, the frost was on the inside of the windshield. You just had to scrape it off into your lap.

The little car, though, was incredibly dependable. Mine started almost every time, and when it failed to fire up, it was easy to give it a shove. It was economical; my roommate and I learned that we could drive about 50 miles on the spare gas tank, which we switched on with a little handle on the floorboard. And, maybe best of all, it was never recalled.

The Germans had put the thing together right.

Samsung dropped a few billion by selling phones that catch fire in your pocket.

That’s a personal issue when you are alone on the sidewalk. It becomes a community matter, however, when you are packed into the economy section of a 747 over the Atlantic.

Back before cellphones, we depended on pay phones and kept a few dimes handy should we need to make a call.

Our college dorm, remarkably, had a pay phone on each floor; none of them caught fire. Millennials are miles ahead of me when it comes technology, but I bet that few of them would recognize a phone booth.

Thousands and thousands of cars have been recalled for dangerous air bags.

Ironic, isn’t it, that the great device designed to save us turns out to be deadly? My old Beetle wasn’t big enough for an air bag, though it probably could have used one.

Wells Fargo deceived a couple of million customers by secretly giving them accounts they never asked for. Almost every day that bank has a full-page newspaper ad announcing that it is “Moving Forward to Make Things Right.”

I now believe that “moving forward” means “Let’s change the subject.”

I remember that my grandfather never trusted a bank and kept his money in his clock. We found a lot of bread there along with a stack of uncashed Social Security checks after he died. My father paid cash for everything and never had a bank account until the company he worked for started paying him with a check. He never forgave them because he really loved to line up at the pay window on Friday afternoon to get his envelope of coins and bills.

I remember being a little unnerved when my employer started using direct deposit.

I liked walking my pay to the bank myself; that way I knew it was there. There was no online banking then, and I had to wait for the monthly statement to show up in the mail to see that I didn’t have as much as I thought I had. Nowadays, I go online every morning to be sure there has been no hanky-panky with my account while I was asleep.

I refused to use an ATM until the bank tellers got so impatient with me that I had to go ahead and devise a secret code for myself. And I’m still not thrilled with automatic drafting. It has worked beautifully so far, but what if Netflix decides to snatch more than eight bucks each month?

COMMUNITY JOURNALS IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER.

I won’t go into politics since recent candidates refused to acknowledge lies, crimes and misdemeanors. And certainly they have not apologized or sought forgiveness. As the media likes to say, they just “doubled down” on such and then turned it over to their “surrogates” to spin. “Doubling down” is almost as useful as “moving forward” when it comes to dodging the truth. And isn’t “spinning” designed to convince us that someone didn’t say what he said?

George Washington and his apple tree have been left in the dust – with my lovely old Beetle.
