OPINION

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Make shopping local a priority this holiday season

MARK B. JOHNSTON | PUBLISHER

mjohnston@communityjournals.com

Drawn Out Loud

f there’s one thing I don’t have to remind any of you, it’s that Greenville is a great place to live. We’ve got firstclass restaurants, unique shopping venues, world-class culture and a downtown that is regularly celebrated by newspapers, magazines and websites across the nation. No matter who you are, Greenville welcomes you. So come here with your wallets open. Our restaurants and shops are more than happy to make your trip to Greenville the best it can possibly be. And I urge my fellow Greenvillians to do the same, to enjoy our many fine local businesses and keep our holiday spending right here in our community. As Black Friday marks the official start to the Christmas shopping season, please keep in mind the importance – and personal value – of shopping locally. By that I mean buying holiday gifts from locally owned, independent business owners who live here, pay taxes here, send their children to school here and want Greenville to prosper as much as

by Kate Salley Palmer

you do. When you shop locally, your dollars have a multiplier effect that touches your life in more ways than you probably ever imagined. A recent landmark study by the firm Civic Economics found that for every $100 spent locally, $68 stays in the community. However – and this is important – the study found that to hold true only if the money’s spent at a homegrown, locally owned business. Spend that same $100 at large-scale online retailers, and none of it stays in the local economy. Independent business owners spend their profits here – not just on goods but also on a wide variety of support services, from architects to accountants, building contractors to computer consultants. They also carry locally made goods that reﬂect the unique tastes and interests of their communities. Local business owners donate more to local charities, are more likely to serve on local boards and support a variety of community causes and events. I know, because I’m one of them. This is my home. What Greenville becomes affects my family and me personally. Let me encourage you with this idea: Think of three independently owned businesses you know you would miss if they weren’t around anymore.

$100 $68 spent with locally owned businesses

stays in the local economy

$100 ZERO spent with large-scale online retailers

stays in the local economy

Make a point of stopping in to say hello and make a purchase, however small. If we all follow through on that, the impact will be huge. Consider this: According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, if just half the employed U.S. population spent $50 a month in independently owned businesses, their purchases would generate $42.6 billion in revenue. So shop local this Christmas. It matters. You’re creating jobs, promoting community development, funding more city services, supporting a host of local charities and helping keep Greenville the unique and wonderful place we all know it to be.

Think of three independently owned businesses you know you would miss if they weren’t around anymore.

A DVERT ISEM EN T

SAVE FALLS PARK

November 11, 2016

To: Mayor Knox White, Members of the Greenville City Council, Members of the Planning Commission, and Members of the Design Review Board – Urban and Neighborhood Panels Ladies and Gentlemen: Please save Falls Park! This is a follow up to my previous letter to you dated November 3, 2016, which also appeared in the Greenville News on Sunday, November 6, 2016. There is important additional information that you should review and consider. Everyone in Greenville who uses Falls Park rightly believes that the proposed site of this new “glass tower” to be built right up against the Main Street Bridge is part of Falls Park. Why? BECAUSE IT IS! The City’s “Riverplace Plan” connected to the Falls Park Extension Plan ($13.5 million of Greenville taxpayers’ funds alone – not counting private donations) at the Main Street Bridge. Taken together, implementation of these two complementary plans required countless dedicated City officials and private citizens to complete by investing years – many years - of hard work, and they did a wonderful job. According to the Riverplace plans, it is to be noted that on the West side of the Main Street Bridge, on the north bank where the staircase comes up to Main Street beside today’s Coldwell Banker Caine office located at 428 South Main, the city went to great lengths, and considerable EXPENSE to purchase and demolish older buildings that completely blocked the third span of the Bridge on that side. Yes, there were buildings that the City bought and removed in order to complete the plan and open up a view of all spans of the Main Street Bridge from both directions. I have old photographs that show the buildings that were purchased and demolished to open up the view of the river from the Main Street Bridge, and, just as importantly, to open up the view of all three spans of the bridge as seen from the Wyche Pavilion. What about the “Falls Park Extension” plans? The City’s published documents of that plan, including the written landscape plan by the noted landscape designer who prepared them, were executed exactly as promised to the citizens of Greenville. The diagrams provided to the public show exactly what you see today, and recorded documents show this portion of the Park just as you see it today. The City built what it agreed to build on this property: The Liberty Bridge, a plaza, an overlook, and rock and cement walkways that go all the way to the Main Street Bridge.

There is no plan for a multi-story “glass tower” office building between the Bowater Parking garage and the Main Street Bridge. This would have been an absurd use and abuse of that portion of the property. The City and its citizens would never have agreed to that. The City and its citizens must not agree to it now. Ethically and legally the City must not give away what it has built! To summarize: 1) The City has Plans in place; 2) Those plans have been faithfully executed and implemented; 3) Riverplace and Falls Park are the culmination of a well executed public and private effort that created the crown jewel of Greenville. Yes, the City must now act with foresight and dispatch to address the looming pressure to develop a comprehensive plan for the Northern boundary of Falls Park. That Northern boundary has NO PROTECTION - NONE! This requires the City to develop a comprehensive plan to protect the Northern border of Falls Park from the Main Street Bridge to the Liberty Bridge and all the way to Church Street. This brings us back to the much-flawed approval given to the “glass tower” by the Design Review Board. How did this happen? That erroneous decision was based on the simplistic notion that “This is private property, therefore they can build it.” That was an entirely erroneous and

indefensible position for the City’s Planning staff to take. No doubt the developer was in a big, big hurry. He said, “I have to have this decision tonight.” He got it. The City needs to examine its planning set-up. No doubt, the developer’s proposed tenant for the “glass tower” is in a hurry. The developer apparently has the property under contract and/or option to purchase all or some of the land from Camperdown Falls, Ltd. Partnership/ Easlan Capital, which owns the entire Bowater parcel. The proposed tenant is a prominent law firm that already owns significant property nearby on Falls Park. Sources indicate that the law firm covets spectacular conference rooms, executive office suites, and highly visible exposure in the proposed new “glass tower” that would dominate the Main Street Bridge. In urgently pressing his case for the “glass tower,” the developer actually said that the citizens of Greenville would get a great benefit from his plan to cut down nearly all of the trees (many of them quite large) on his proposed building site: “The trees are blocking the view of the Park from the Main Street Bridge. We will cut them down to provide a better view.” My specific request to the Mayor, City Council, Planning Commission, Parks Commission and Design Review Board is this: Please address the important planning issues needed to protect Falls Park now. Commence the process immediately. Suspend consideration of this request (DRB DOCKET CA 16-642) to build a “glass tower” in Falls Park until any and all important planning gaps have been addressed. I respectfully submit this letter to the above-mentioned distinguished parties on Friday, November 11, 2016. David Sweatt 300 Pettigru Street, Greenville, South Carolina, 29601 dsweatt22@gmail.com

months to complete. Without the additional sewer line, the current sewer system for the Reedy River basin, which affects downtown Greenville all the way to Travelers Rest, will run out of capacity and development would grind to a halt, Rich said. In addition to providing capacity for future growth, the project will meet immediate needs by providing an additional buffer against sewer surcharges due to inﬂow and infiltration during rainy weather. Rich said the tunnel is not the least expensive alternative but the best long-term solution for the community. “Greenville has developed so much that doing an open-cut project would tear up the heart of downtown,” he said. “The tunnel is not the cheapest alternative, but we selected it because it won’t be disruptive.

Renewable Water Resources will soon be diggin’ Greenville – or more precisely, digging under Greenville. ReWa is planning the largest-ever underground tunnel project in Greenville’s history, boring a 1.3 mile-long tunnel through granite rock 100 feet underground for a new sewer line that will run from Cleveland Park near the Greenville Zoo to Hudson Street near downtown. The $46 million project, called Dig Greenville, will meet sewer needs in the Reedy River basin for the next century, said Graham W. Rich, ReWa’s executive director. The underground tunnel will be 10 feet in diameter and house a 7-foot diameter pipe. Construction is not expected to begin until January 2018 and is expected to take 30 THE PATH OF

tunnel is being drilled, people will never know what’s going on or where it is.” Trenchless technology is becoming more common in urban and suburban areas where infrastructure is buried well below ground and where open-cut projects would mean months or years of disruptions and detours. The gravity sewer tunnel conveys wastewater without the use of mechanical equipment. The wastewater upstream of downtown Greenville will drop down a shaft approximately 100 feet to the pipe in the tunnel, and then ﬂow by gravity to the existing sewer system in Cleveland Park. Access shafts will have to be constructed at each end of the tunnel. The blasting of rock will occur at each end of the tunnel. Officials say the blasting will occur during the first 12 months of the project. People and businesses near the blasting sites will be given plenty of warning, Rich said. The tunnel itself is constructed without blasting by utilizing a tunnel-boring machine that cuts the rock as it moves along the tunnel alignment. Part of the parking lot off Cleveland Park Drive in Cleveland Park will be used as a construction staging area during the project. ReWa will add parking spots on the Washington Street side of the Cleveland Park playground to make up for the loss of those spaces during construction. After the 30-month construction project is completed, ReWa will restore the parking area used for construction staging, resulting in more parking for Cleveland Park/Greenville Zoo.

CHOOSE A TOP DOCTOR BACKED BY EVEN MORE. CHOOSE A GHS DOCTOR. A boring machine like this one will be lowered 100 feet underground to begin digging a 1.3-mile sewer tunnel underneath downtown Greenville.

The 20,000 to 25,000 cubic yards of rock will be removed by mine rails and dumped in the construction staging area. Trucks will remove the rock. ReWa is working with the city on the truck routes, likely on Washington Street and Laurens Road. Once the access shafts are constructed, Rich said residents won’t feel any vibrations. “They won’t feel it because it’s so far down,” he said. ReWa will use state-of-the-art equipment for geotechnical monitoring during the project. Wright said granite is the perfect type of rock for the tunnel. He said the tunnel would be completely encased in rock. ReWa used historical data from borings made over the years and did about 50 of their own to determine the topography, depth and character of the rock. Samples were sent off to the Colorado School of Mines for testing, Wright said. “We’ve got pretty solid rock,” he said. The contractor likely will advance 20 feet to 30 feet per day during the boring. The tunnel will be 10 feet in diameter, a size dictated by the equipment. A 7-foot reinforced fiberglass resin pipe will be installed and the space in between the pipe and the tunnel wall will be filled with grout. “It won’t be able to shift,” Wright said. The trenchless technology will require the least amount of maintenance of all of the alternatives studied, Wright said. Perhaps the most famous downtown tunnel constructed was the Big Dig in Boston. The Big Dig, officially called the Central Artery and Tunnel and the most expensive highway in U.S. history, moves traffic through 1.5 miles in downtown underground. The project ballooned from $2.6 billion to nearly $15 billion and was eight years behind schedule by the time it was completed in 2006. But Rich said trenchless technology is becoming more common when building infrastructure in urban, developed areas. Charleston, for instance, has many tunnels on the peninsula. “As this project unfolds, we want all of Greenville to be excited,” Rich said. “Our first priority is letting the people of Greenville know what’s happening.”

Joint Replacement GHS to replace Marshall Pickens with new 120-bed psychiatric hospital MELINDA YOUNG | CONTRIBUTOR

myoung@communityjournals.com

The Greenville Health System (GHS) and the national psychiatric hospital giant Acadia Healthcare have formed a joint venture to build a $64 million, 120-bed hospital on GHS’ main campus. The new 80,000-square-foot inpatient behavioral health hospital is expected to open in March 2018, replacing Marshall I. Pickens Hospital and its 46 beds. “This $64 million new state-of-the-art hospital will provide greater access to people who need these services,” says Mike Riordan, president and chief executive officer of the Strategic Coordinating Organization (SCO), a new private, nonprofit entity that helped to negotiate the joint venture with Acadia Healthcare. The SCO was formed as part of GHS’ transition to a private organization for the purpose of planning mergers, partnerships and joint ventures. Riordan and other GHS officials emphasized at a Nov. 15 public announcement of the new hospital that the joint venture could not have occurred had GHS remained in its public, nonprofit model instead of transitioning in October to its new private, nonprofit model. “We’re going to start initially with 65 beds,” says Dr. Kenneth Rogers, medical director and chair of the department of psychiatry and behavioral medicine at GHS. The new hospital will expand child and adolescent services, which currently has only six beds. This probably will be tripled, Rogers says. “We’ll also begin to develop alcohol and substance use treatment services, which we currently don’t have in our facility,” Rogers says. “We’ll continue to have general adult inpatient services.” Other services will include geropsychiatry, adolescent psychiatry and intensive outpatient therapy. Acadia Healthcare has 591 hospital facilities in the United States, Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom, and the joint venture with GHS will create its sixth joint venture hospital, says Joey Jacobs, chairman and chief executive officer of the Franklin, Tenn.-based company. The company’s hospitals span 39 states, and it has about 17,800 beds. Its services include behavioral health and addiction services to its patients in inpatient psychiatric hospitals, residential treatment centers, outpatient clinics and therapeutic school-based programs. Acadia is known as a leader in acute services, including helping suicidal patients, Jacobs says. “We’re a leader in addiction services, substance abuse and psychiat-

ric trauma.” Marshall Pickens will be closed after the new hospital opens, and its facility likely will be used for other purposes, such as oncology and outpatient services, says Dr. Spence Taylor, president of the Upstate Affiliate Organization (UAO), which, as a private, nonprofit organization, handles the health system’s operations.

One of the new hospital’s focuses will be on training public first responders on how to handle encounters with people who have behavioral and mental health problems. One of the ongoing issues with meeting a community’s mental health needs is that there often are too few behavioral and mental health professionals, including psychiatrists, to meet the need. This is part of the reason why GHS sought the joint venture with Acadia, GHS officials said. A new hospital for behavioral health will generate excitement and attract physicians, residents and other professionals to the area, Taylor predicts. “We have four psychiatric residents per year,” he says. “This will be an exciting pipeline for the Upstate.” One of the new hospital’s focuses will be on training public first responders, including police and emergency technicians, on how to handle encounters with people who have behavioral and mental health problems, Taylor says. The joint venture announcement falls on the heels of the presidential election and the possible repeal of part of the Affordable Care Act, which has expanded the number of people insured in the U.S. over the past six years. But this change is unlikely to have a big impact on the behavioral health industry, Jacobs notes. “Like everyone else, we’re waiting to see what happens, but the Affordable Care Act didn’t impact our industry like the rest of health care,” he says. “And because South Carolina did not do a Medicaid expansion under the ACA, the change will have less of an impact.”

Lead Academy breaks ground on $10.3M school building ANDREW MOORE | STAFF

amoore@communityjournals.com

After years of relocation, Greenville charter school Lead Academy has found home. On Tuesday, school officials broke ground on a $10.3 million school building, which will be constructed on 7.9 acres of land at 804 Mauldin Road. The 47,000-square-foot facility will have 25 classrooms, as well as an art room, cafeteria, media lab, auditorium and science lab, according to principal Rodney Johnson. The facility will allow the school to double its enrollment capacity to 432 students. “With this new school building, we’ll be able to offer kids more opportunities to be agents of change in the community,” Johnson said. Last year, the school began implementing exploratory learning, a curriculum defined by students concluding relationships between their background knowledge and unfamiliar concepts. The school’s approach to exploratory learning focuses on teamwork, community, technology and real-world experiences. The school decided to construct the twostory facility to accommodate the curriculum.

The classrooms will feature walls that can be separated to allow classroom-toclassroom interaction within grade levels. “There’s going to be so much more room for our students to collaborate, whether that be in the classroom or community,” said Lead Academy board member Allison Roach. Since the school implemented an exploratory learning curriculum last year, students have worked with community experts to complete a research project that is presented to family members, teachers and the general public. Students will use the auditorium to present projects if the new school building is approved. Lead Academy used a Series 2016 bond through Chicago-based Ziegler, a privately held specialty investment bank, to purchase the land and construct the building, as well as refinance an existing bridge loan and reimburse for planning and site-work costs previously incurred for the facility. The school plans to use its state funding, $5,780 per student, to pay off the bond. “When we began this process, we only had 136 students and a vision. Most folks told us that a school of our size would never be able to find financing,” Johnson said.

Lead Academy’s new building will have 25 classrooms, an art room, cafeteria, media lab, auditorium and science lab.

“It’s been a rollercoaster to get here,” he said. Johnson founded and opened Lead Academy at Redemption Outreach Center in 2010. He then moved the school to Upstate Circle of Friends in 2012 and Reedy River Missionary Baptist Church in 2014. The school then placed two portables on 7.9 acres at 804 Mauldin Road and relocated in April. The frequent change in location wasn’t a choice. “There was no place to expand, because the number of students has continued to grow and grow,” Johnson said. “That’s not

including our staff.” The school’s enrollment has increased from 80 to 240 students. It also started enrolling kindergarten through fourth grade this year, expanding staff from 13 to 29 teachers, according to Johnson. The new school building should be complete by August 2017.

Just Kickin’ It Greenville gets USA Karate Junior National Championships and Team Trials ANDREW MOORE | STAFF

amoore@communityjournals.com

The USA Karate Junior National Championships and Team Trials are returning to Greenville July 19-23 at the 15,000-seat Bon Secours Wellness Arena in downtown Greenville. Hosted by VisitGreenvilleSC, the martial arts tournament will feature the USA Karate Junior National Team as they compete for a chance to represent the United States at the World Karate Federation’s Junior World Championships in Spain. According to VisitGreenvilleSC senior sales manager Robin Wright, the 2017 USA Karate Junior National Championships and Team Trials should bring more than 4,000

Hampel and USA Karate board members to promote the Wellness Arena for future tournaments. With millions of dollars in revenue up for grabs, cities across the country were trying to land the event. VisitGreenvilleSC has requested $25,000 from the city and county to help pay hosting costs related to the martial arts tournament. The city approved funding earlier last month, but Greenville County Council is still considering the request. The tournament has the potential to produce 2,200 room nights for hotels in the Greenville area and an economic impact

Good medicine begins with a joyful heart. stfrancishealth.org/heart people — athletes and spectators — to Greenville. “We are excited to be returning to Greenville for a third time, and I know that the city is a great destination for our members,” USA Karate CEO Phil Hampel said. Bon Secours Wellness Arena and Greenville last hosted the martial arts tournament and national team trials in 2013. It was supposed to be held in Salt Lake City, this year, but Hampel and board members had to relocate the tournament after finding out there wasn’t enough hotel space for the team. They chose Greenville because of its previous bidding efforts. Wright has worked closely with Hampel for the last two years to bring the tournament back to Greenville. “We originally bid on 2016 but unfortunately lost it to Pittsburgh,” she said. Wright and Beth Paul, the general manager of the Bon Secours Wellness Arena, then traveled to Colorado Springs, Colo., in January 2015 to deliver their bid for the 2017 USA Karate Junior National Championships and Team Trials. Wright also attended last year’s championship and team trials in Florida to “show support and help boost our future commitment to hosting.” While there, she met with

of $1.9 million dollars, according to VisitGreenvilleSC president Chris Stone. Wright added that winning the bid to host the 2017 martial arts tournament could lead to more successes in the future. “Greenville is definitely making a name for itself in the sports industry. We will continue to go after and bid on any and all sports that makes sense for the destination,” she said. One of those events could be the Olympic qualifier for the USA Karate National Team. In August, the International Olympic Committee unanimously approved the decision to include karate in the 2020 Olympics in Japan. The U.S. team will include a male and female athlete in the Kata division as well as three male and female athletes in the Kumite division, according to the USA National Karate-do Federation. USA Karate will release the official athlete selection procedures once they are available. “We would definitely welcome discussions to potentially hosting this. We look forward to a long-term partnership with USA Karate,” Wright said.

Pickens County declares state of emergency as Pinnacle Mountain fire grows to more than 3,000 acres ANDREW MOORE | STAFF

amoore@communityjournals.com

Pickens County Council has declared a state of emergency to help pay for the firefighting costs at Pinnacle Mountain, where a single campfire has apparently grown to more than 3,000 acres in just two weeks, according to the S.C. Forestry Commission. Last Wednesday, councilmembers called a special meeting to consider the declaration. Councilwoman Jennifer Willis said the fire at Pinnacle Mountain would likely disrupt communications, interfere with the use of roadways, pose threats to public order and threaten the life, health and safety of residents throughout the county. The declaration allows the county to apply for both state and federal aid that should help reimburse some of the funds spent on the fire. It also allows the county administrator to use money from other county funds to pay for firerelated expenses as well as mandate an evacuation if needed, according to county attorney Ken Roper.

Currently, the county does not have a cost estimate for its firefighting efforts. Last week, the Pinnacle Mountain fire grew from 2,312 acres on Monday to 3,283 acres on Wednesday, becoming the largest mountain fire recorded in South Carolina, said Forestry Commission spokesman Russell Hubright. The fire was just 35 percent contained as of last Wednesday. There are 170 firefighters on Pinnacle Mountain, according to the Forestry Commission. They spent most the day last Wednesday building break lines on the east side of the fire and north of Highway 11. The S.C. National Guard also used helicopters to drop water from the upper and lower Table Rock lakes on hot spots between Pinnacle Mountain and Table Rock, said Chief Warrant Officer Lester Furr. “They have a strategy on the ground,” he said. “They’re telling us where they need us to drop the water.” That ground strategy has included burnouts, fire lines and more. Last week, the Forestry Commission evacuated about 70 families from the affected area

and conducted a large burn of more than 2,000 acres. The burnout was an effort to get ahead of a cold front that would fuel the fire with high winds and drier air, according to Hubright. There is no estimate on when the fire might end. “The ongoing drought, combined with leaf fall, low humidity and high winds is making conditions ripe for a wildfire,” said Forest-

ry Commission Fire Chief Darryl Jones. Some Upstate counties have received less than 10 percent of normal rainfall in the last 60 days, according to Hope Mizzell, a climatologist with the S.C. Department of Natural Resources. The S.C. Drought Response Committee recently updated several Upstate counties, including Oconee and Pickens, to severe

NEWS drought status. On Nov. 19, the Forestry Commission extended a burning ban from the Piedmont region to the entire state. The ban prohibits yard debris burning and burning for agriculture, forestry or wildlife purposes. Campfires and open-fire cooking are not in the ban. However, the Forestry Commission encourages people in the affected area to refrain from unnecessary burning. “The intent of this burning ban is to help us avoid the number and severity of wildfires that we’re seeing,” Jones said. He added that the smoke is going to remain in the area until the wildfires are controlled

or South Carolina receives significant rainfall. The National Climate Prediction Center recently forecasted below-normal winter rainfall. The Forestry Commission is urging people to be mindful of the lingering smoke and particulate matter in the air. “Wildfires occurring in the mountains and Piedmont are exhibiting aggressive fire behavior, therefore increasing safety concerns,” Forestry Commission Fire Staff Forester Brad Bramlett said. The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control is encouraging residents with asthma and other respiratory illnesses to stay

inside and keep windows and air intakes closed as well as replace air filters when needed. “Smoke from these fires can irritate the eyes and respiratory system, as well as aggravate or exacerbate chronic heart and lung diseases,” said Rhonda Thompson, the chief of DHEC’s Bureau of Air Quality. She added, “Currently, the Upstate counties are most affected. However, areas of the state north of I-20 and west of I-77 are at risk.” The national air quality standard for particulate matter is 35 micrograms per cubic meter averaged over 24 hours, according to DHEC. Air quality monitors throughout the state have

exceeded that standard in some locations for much of the past week. DHEC previously issued two air quality alerts for the Upstate. “If you observe low visibility due to smoke, then the air is probably unhealthy to breathe, and you should limit your time outdoors,” added Mike Abraczinskas, deputy director of the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality’s Air Quality division.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a Tiger or a Gamecock — these are the defining moments in Clemson-Carolina history CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

hat’s the better college, Clemson or Carolina? If an argument that has been waged around family dinner tables, workplace break rooms and at sports bars and keggers were a divorce case, it would cite irreconcilable differences. The argument is long-lived, with Clemson-Carolina (or CarolinaClemson for Gamecock fans) being the second longest-running rivalry in major college football, behind only Wisconsin-Minnesota. The ClemsonCarolina game, which has been played each year since 1909, would have been the longest-running if not for a near-riot leading to the suspension of the series from 1903 through 1908. (By the way, Lafayette and Lehigh have the longest-running rivalry in all of college football, having played each year since 1897). Not that it matters. Sports Illustrated has called Clemson-Carolina the most underrated rivalry in college football. And as expected, the rivalry has produced its fair share of never-forget games and plays. In keeping with the pigskin theme, here are seven of the most memorable moments for each side (a touchdown and an extra point). And for good measure, we’ll throw in three more. Consider that a game-ending field goal. Will Saturday’s game produce the next memorable moment? Who knows, but we’ll all be watching. Clemson receiver Deon Cain makes a catch in the 2015 game.

1950: THE RUNNER

1975: THE PROMISE

1961: THE PRANK

1977: THE CATCH

Clemson was nationally ranked and undefeated going into the 1950 rivalry game. Carolina had lost to The Citadel. But nobody told Steve “The Cadillac” Wadiak that the Gamecocks were huge underdogs. Wadiak, who set a Southern Conference rushing record that year with 998 yards and was considered Carolina’s first real star, rambled for 256 yards on 19 carries in a 14-14 tie. Wadiak was the first Gamecock football player to have his number retired.

When 30 men dressed in orange ran onto the field at Williams-Brice stadium, the Clemson band fired up “Tiger Rag.” The east side of the stadium, filled with Clemson fans, started cheering. The Carolina contingent in the west stands booed. The players began doing jumping jacks and calisthenics. When the players started “milking” each other’s hands and dancing “The Twist,” the prank was revealed. The men in those uniforms (borrowed from Orangeburg High School) weren’t Clemson players, but members of the Carolina chapter of Sigma Nu.

Steve “The Cadillac” Wadiak

The night before the game, which Carolina had to win to go to a bowl game, Gamecock quarterback Jeff Grantz told a teammate they’d score every time they had the ball. The Gamecocks scored a touchdown every time they had the ball on their way to their decisive win in the series, 56-20. The last touchdown came with 54 seconds on a fourth-and-goal from the 20. Carolina racked up 458 yards on the ground and 626 yards in total offense.

Clemson held a 24-0 lead in the third quarter and looked well on its way to its best season since 1959. But Carolina rallied and took a 27-24 lead with less than three minutes to play. Quarterback Steve Fuller led the Tigers down the field. At the Carolina 20 with 49 seconds to play, receiver Jerry Butler ran a corner route. When he saw Fuller was in trouble, he broke back toward his quarterback. Fuller, rolling to his left, launched a pass. Butler leaped and made a diving backward grab that is known in Clemson as “The Catch.”

11.25.2016 | GREENVILLE JOURNAL | 15

COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM

Clemson was 5-5 going into the game, and coach Danny Ford was on the hot seat. The Tigers had lost to Maryland 34-7 and Carolina, ranked 17th and Gator Bowl-bound, was coming to town. The Gamecocks’ offense featured Heisman Trophy-winning running back George Rogers. Ford found his spark in orange football pants. The Tigers wore their traditional white pants for pre-game warm-ups before changing into their all-orange uniforms. The Tigers won 27-6 behind a two-interception game by Willie Underwood.

1984: BLACK MAGIC

It was the year of Black Magic for Carolina. Coming off a 5-6 season, the Gamecocks started the season with eight consecutive wins, including those against 11th-ranked Florida State, 12th-ranked Georgia and on the road against Notre Dame. Carolina rose to No. 2 before being upset by Navy. In the Clemson game, Carolina scored 19 unanswered points to take a 22-21 win. Quarterback Mike Hold scored the game-tying touchdown. Gamecock kicker Scott Hagler missed the extra point but got another chance when Clemson was flagged for having 12 men on the field. He nailed his second chance, and the Gamecocks had their first 10-win season ever.

1987: THE RANKED

The 1987 game was once of the most anticipated games in series history, with Carolina ranked 12th and Clemson eighth. Clemson led 7-6 at halftime. Carolina took the lead in the second half, and defensive back Brad Edwards picked off two Rodney Williams passes in the fourth quarter, including a game-clinching touchdown with 5:37 to play. The 20-7 win was Carolina’s first over Clemson in Columbia since 1979.

Thankful for a Second Chance

Thanksgiving is here; a time to be thankful. I didn’t have much to be thankful for before I came to Animal Care. I had no family, no home, no guarantee of where my next meal would come from. Now I have a warm place to sleep, loving human friends who care for me and show me affection, and best of all, hope for a forever family to call my own. 90% of dogs are finding homes quickly at Animal Care, and it’s all because of generous people like you who donate to their Second Chance Fund.

1992: THE AUTOGRAPH

Cocky longhaired freshman quarterback Steve Taneyhill rescued the Gamecocks from a 0-5 start, leading Carolina to four wins in his first five starts. Clemson needed a win at home to become bowleligible. The teams were tied 10-10 at halftime before Taneyhill led the Gamecocks to a 24-13 victory. After the game, Taneyhill “autographed” the Tiger Paw at midfield.

2000: THE CATCH II

Rod Gardner’s game-changing catch is arguably one of the most controversial plays in the rivalry. Carolina led 14-13 and was less than a minute away from snapping a three-game losing streak in the series. Clemson had the ball deep in its own territory. Quarterback

Woody Dantzler called “Lion 70 X-Go,” and Gardner got behind the defense. The two battled for the ball and Gardner came up with a 50yard reception known to Clemson fans as “The Catch II.” Gamecock fans refer to the play as “The Push,” although the referee did not throw a flag for pass interference. Tiger kicker Aaron Hunt kicked a 25-yard field goal to give Clemson the win.

2003: THE ANNIHILATION

With Clemson Coach Tommy Bowden on the hot seat, the Tigers blew out the Gamecocks 63-17 in a game that left the stands at Williams-Brice Stadium half-filled at halftime. The Tigers scored touchdowns on each of their first three offensive possessions on the way to handing Lou Holtz the worst defeat in his Hall of Fame coaching career.

2005: THE UNDEFEATED QUARTERBACK

Quarterback Charlie Whitehurst became the first Clemson quarterback to earn four wins against the Gamecocks when the Tigers won the game 13-9. Before the game, the fierce rivals met at midfield and shook hands in an effort to put the brawl of the year before behind them.

2007: THE FINAL PLAY

Soccer player turned Clemson placekicker Mark Buchholz missed two field goals in the 2007 rivalry game. The game before, in a loss to Boston College, he missed a potential game-tying field goal. The Tigers had squandered a 10-point halftime lead and trailed by 21-20 with 2:09 to play. Clemson drove down the field to set up Buchholz’s redemption. With three seconds left, Buchholz drilled a 35-yarder to give the Tigers a 23-21 win. It was the first time in the rivalry that the winning points were scored on the game’s final play.

1946: NEAR RIOT TM

on Augusta

A WoodBine Senior Living Community

Two New Yorkers decided to make an easy buck by selling counterfeit tickets to the 1946 game. When the 26,000-seat Municipal Stadium reached capacity, the gates were shut. Holders of legitimate tickets demanded admittance. Those with bogus tickets wanted in, too. Two huge wooden gates at one end of the stadium couldn’t withhold the pushing and shoving of the angry mob and gave way in the middle of the first quarter. Thousands of fans gathered on the sidelines. South Carolina won the game 26-14.

In the late 1800s, South Carolina and Clemson played football on “Big Thursday” as a way to attract more people to the S.C. State Fair. All state offices and schools were closed on the third Thursday in October and the game, well before the Thursday night games that are now common on ESPN, was the only one in the nation played on that day. They played 57 of them before Clemson Coach and Athletic Director Frank Howard decided the game was too big and too important to always be played on his rival’s home field.

2004: THE BRAWL

One of the ugliest moments in the series came during Clemson’s 29-7 victory in 2004 when the teams brawled on national television. Tensions were high even before Carolina quarterback Syvelle Newton was knocked to the ground after a hit to the helmet on an incomplete fourth-and-11 pass with less than six minutes to play. It was the last game Lou Holtz coached. It wasn’t the first brawl in the series — another happened in 1983 — but it was definitely the worst.

Jamie Wyeth adds his own color to his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic tradition

A painter the caliber of Jamie Wyeth doesn’t often make an appearance for a show opening in Greenville. Even more unexpected from an internationally known artist who has painted dignitaries, befriended the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger and spent weeks with the Kennedys might be his aversion to attending his own show. “I’m so embarrassed,” Jamie says. “I hate openings. As a friend who’s a writer says, it’s like standing around watching people read your novel.” His modesty shouldn’t, however, be confused with shyness. Of the five Wyeth family painters – grandfather N.C, father Andrew and aunts Henriette and Carolyn – Jamie, born James Browning Wyeth in 1946, is known to be the most social, living for many years in a New York City apartment overlooking Central Park and en- Jamie Wyeth arrived at a Greenville County Museum of Art reception in his own unique style, sporting pantaloons and joying the celebrity status and its one patterned sock. tangential benefits. trouser socks.

that evening. The visit’s brevity was simply so Wyeth didn’t have to break from painting for longer than necessary. “I hate to say it this way, but I’m a workaholic,” Wyeth says. “I love to paint. It’s limitless. You can create another world with rudimentary tools.” He arrived in style, wearing a tailored navy sport jacket with white pinstripes and fiery red accents atop a pair of voluminous graphite-colored pantaloons cinched under the knee and two coordinating, but not identical,

The family business

Painting for the Wyeths was and still is a family affair. Wyeth says the creative energy when he and his father and aunts were all painting together was unsurpassed. Art for the Wyeths was like politics for the Kennedys – it wasn’t a hobby. “Painting was taken very seriously,” Wyeth says.

time in the art studio. His father certainly influenced and guided him — Wyeth says he was “the best teacher” by example — but at one point Andrew decided his son needed to spend time on the rudimentary skills and placed him under his aunt Carolyn’s tutelage. Wyeth describes his aunt as a lover of animals who always kept them around, including two bear cubs she donated to a zoo when she could no longer keep them. But she was a strict teacher. “For a year I slaved away drawing cubes and black-and-white figures,” he says. Well-known for his oil portraits of people and animals, which he calls his friends just as much as any human, Wyeth says he was influenced greatly by his grandfather whom he never met. Instead, Wyeth painted in his grandfather’s studio, which was full of period costumes, guns and props N.C. had used for his illustrations. “It was magical,” Wyeth says. “Then I’d go back down the hill to my house where my father was painting a dead crow.”

the son of one of America’s most celebrated 21st-century artists could say. “It sure is strange. He has legions of admirers, and they pick out the worst qualities to imitate.” Jamie says he thinks his father’s work has an edgy and disturbing quality that people don’t necessarily recognize. For instance, Wyeth says Andrew’s most famous painting, “Christina’s World” displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, is actually not the romantic scene many people imagine it to be. “Here you have this lone figure crawling across a field,” he says. But he says neither he nor his father had any desire to impose their views on what people should see when looking at their paintings, and the public perception of paintings often changes drastically over the years. For instance, following the release of Jamie Wyeth’s portrait of John F. Kennedy in 1967, he received thousands of hate letters because he chose to paint the former president in a more serious way and not in the blue-eyed, blond and grinning way the general public wanted to see him at the time. In 1988, however, the painting was chosen as the image for the national stamp of Ireland. Wyeth says in contrast to his father, whom he describes as “seeing things in brown and

white,” he sees things in much more vibrant colors. “Color choice is purely personal,” he says. This is especially evident in his more recent pieces, such as the oranges in “Smashing Pumpkins,” the neon greens in “Sister Parish and Mr. Universe” (which features a rearview nude portrait of Schwarzenegger while he was the reigning Mr. Universe) and the almost white-hot glowing background of “The Coop – Fourth in a Suite of Untoward Occurrences on Monhegan Island,” which, as the title states, focuses on strange occurrences on the small Maine island where the Wyeths spent the warmer months. This particular odd instance involved a seagull that somehow managed to live covertly with the chickens for weeks before being discovered. “Painting is the most individual of the fine arts,” Wyeth says. “I really get deeper by painting oddities.”

Globetrotting and Gershwin Former ‘Amazing Race’ winner starts a new cross-country journey as star of ‘An American in Paris’ CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

During their winning sprint around the globe for the 13th season of “The Amazing Race” in 2008, actor Nick Spangler and his ex-Dallas Cowboys cheerleader sister, Starr, covered eight countries in 23 days. While his current trip — as Henri Baurel in the North American tour of “An American in Paris” — won’t be as much of a whirlwind, he says it is every bit as exciting. “With ‘The Amazing Race,’ you wanted to pack as minimally as humanly possible. I had a backpack and that was it,” he said. “For this trip, I’m traveling with my wife and my 14-month-old son in a car loaded to the brim, and we’ll spend 12 months on the road. It’s a much longer haul this time.” “An American in Paris” will be in Greenville for eight performances from Nov. 29 to Dec. 4. Inspired by the 1951 Academy Award-winning film, “An American in Paris” is the romantic story of an American soldier, a mysterious French girl and an indomitable European city, each yearning for a new beginning in the aftermath of war. “The show is incredible. The role is incredible,” said Spangler, who was in the original Broadway casts of “The Book of Mormon,” Rodgers + Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” and “It Should Have Been You.” “I’ve never been

happier in my life.” The role of Henri, the soldier’s romantic rival and a Parisian aristocrat, is bigger on stage than it was in the 1951 movie starring Gene Kelly. Henri gets engaged to the French girl, Lise, but winds up realizing she’s not truly in love with him. “Henri is really like a gallant gentleman, even though it breaks his heart to let her go and he knows it’s the right thing to do,” Spangler said. Spangler said landing a role in “American in Paris” was daunting because the show’s choreography is heavily influenced by ballet and the majority of the members of the company are ballerinas. “The early days of rehearsal were terrifying,” he said. “But at the same time, because a lot are dancers, they may not have sung or acted on stage, so I was somebody they could turn to in that regard. It really was a great sharing of talents. We all were able to grow and learn together.” The stage show, directed by 2015 Tony Award-winner Christopher Wheeldon, features the same George and Ira Gershwin music as the movie did. “One of the real cool things is that if you saw the movie and loved the movie, you’ll love the show. If you haven’t seen the movie, you’ll still love the show,” said Spangler, who also drew rave reviews for his Off-Broadway performance as Matt in “The Fantasticks.” “We deliver a classic story with classic music in a contemporary way.”

Real-life brother and sister star as siblings in ‘A Charlie Brown Christmas’ ARIEL TURNER | CONTRIBUTOR

aturner@communityjournals.com

An iconic family television tradition is coming to life on the Gunter Theatre stage this holiday season with help from a brother and sister pair. The S.C. Children’s Theatre’s first ever production of “A Charlie Brown Christmas” runs Dec. 2-4 and 9-11 with Charlie Brown and his sister, Sally, being played by real-life siblings Julia and Jack Higginbotham. Julia, 10, and Jack, 11, who get asked “all the time” (said in perfect sibling unison) if they are twins, are regular performers in productions around the Upstate. They have both made it to the final cut for some Broadway productions, as well. But “A Charlie Brown Christmas” gave them a singular opportunity: They’ve been cast in the same show before, but they’ve never interacted on stage together. “We are super excited,” says their mother, Suzanne, whose husband, Brandon, has also performed with his children. “It never crossed my mind when we got the cast list that they’d get brother and sister.” Suzanne says the two are very similar to their stage characters. Jack is much more serious and protective of his downtime, much like Charlie, and Julia is peppy and outgoing like Sally. The SCCT production will feature two entirely separate casts who will perform alternating shows. The “Green” cast is comprised of seventh- to 12th-graders, and the “Red” cast members range from fifth to seventh grade. Director Mia Phillips says she employs the multicast method to allow more students to be involved and also to help alleviate some of the fatigue from performing back-to-back shows. Julia and Jack are part of the Red cast. Phillips says their casting was purely coincidental. “I did not even think about Charlie Brown and Sally being brother and sister when I was casting them, but these are the parts they got,” Phillips says. Julia says it’s really fun for the two of them to act with each other, because even though they do have their typical sibling moments of disagreement, and are fiercely competitive when it comes to their grades, they are great friends. Jack says his favorite scenes in the whole

show are the ones he and Julia do together. “It’s something you don’t get to do all the time,” Jack says. “It’s basically what we do all day but in front of a million people.” Julia and Jack have grown accustomed to theater life, juggling voice lessons, acting classes at SCCT and play rehearsal. Julia says she’s often tired because of the late evenings on school nights, but the experience is so fun and rewarding that it’s worth it. And she’s figured out how to combat the fatigue. “Sometimes I have some coffee in the morning, so that might change my perspective on the day,” Julia says, speaking much more like a professional actress accustomed to dealing with the press than a typical fourth-grader. The original “A Charlie Brown Christmas” special made its debut on CBS on Dec. 9, 1965, but the stage version wasn’t licensed and released until 2013. It follows the television special, including all of Vince Guaraldi’s memorable music and the opening ice-skating scene, for which the children’s theatre cast members will wear Heely tennis shoes to “skate” around the stage. All of the songs are performed on stage by the cast and a three-piece band – keyboard, upright bass and drums. “It’s such a classic,” says Phillips. “We’re so excited.”

Chapter: SOUL puts a new spin on old-school Big Easy funk VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR

vharris@communityjournals.com

On “Oh Yeah,” the opening track of Chapter: SOUL’s new EP, “The Bible, Book 1,” the New Orleans band makes their home city proud, launching into a horn-heavy funksoul bounce designed to get people moving. Band founder and leader Calvin Johnson Jr. sends a soaring tenor sax solo over keyboardist Kashonda Bailey’s gritty organ while the rhythm section pounds out a heads-down funk groove, the kind you wish could go on forever. The next two tracks, however, prove that Johnson has more on his mind than the typical New Orleans groove. Johnson has played with everyone from the Dirty Dozen Brass Band to rapper Mystikal, and his multigenre musical vision takes shape on the futuristic electro-jazz-fusion of “James Joint” and the hip-hop/jam-band hybrid “Freakish.” For Johnson, he’s just drawing from the music he grew up with. “Just from the sheer disparity in generations between Dirty Dozen and Chapter: SOUL, you’re going to have differences in the music,” Johnson says. “It’s like we learned from different textbooks.

They learned from the book of the postwar baby-boomer generation. And we’re reading from the book of the millennials. We have a totally different perspective on the music.” He adds, “We’re all speaking the same language of music, but the music has to evolve.” That being said, Johnson owes a lot to his former band. While touring with the group a few years back, Johnson and Dirty Dozen sousaphone player Kirk Joseph talked a lot about melding traditional New Orleans second-line funk and jazz with a more modern perspective. Those conversations gave Johnson the courage to explore his own musical interests and try to figure out how to create a unique sound. “When I started the band, I knew I had something to say. The problem was I had so much to say I didn’t know where to start from,” Johnson says. “And what I had to say changed and evolved as I opened up the band to other people and asked others to be a part of it. They brought their different vocabulary to the conversation. So then we had our musical conversations, and when that happened, we blended and compromised. That’s how we found unique ground. That’s how you find something different.

That’s how evolution takes place.” When he began recruiting other members for Chapter: SOUL, Johnson says he actually wasn’t looking for the most technically gifted players. “It’s not about the best musicians. That’s a misconception that a lot of people have,” he says. “Sometimes the best musicians bring a closed-mindedness, so to speak. We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel, so we don’t necessarily need the best musicians. We’re trying to spin the wheel. I needed musicians who are creative and open to creating.” He came up with a group that was just

about perfect for his vision, and his enthusiasm when he talks about them is palpable. “Sousaphone is the backbone instrument of the city of New Orleans,” he says. “It’s the foundation of the second line. And [former Dirty Dozen player] Julius McKee understands it on a whole different level. That cat is bad. Kashonda Bailey, I call her ‘The Deaconess,’ because she is stone church. She reminds you of that old Baptist church where there’s no A/C and everyone’s sitting there with the hand fans and reading the hymnals; she brings an organic element and a spirit to the music. And [drummer] Terry Scott brings an energy and excitement to the music that I find very refreshing. He listens to everything. It’s exciting to build and create with different aspects of time and beat and rhythm to the table. Having a band like this expands the palette, so to speak.”

Amped Up Folk fave Johnny Irion plugs into his rock side VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR

vharris@communityjournals.com

Greenville, in your inbox.

Johnny Irion is probably best known as part of a duo with his wife, Sarah Lee Guthrie. They’ve spent most of the last decade releasing a series of melodic country-folk albums that spotlighted their yearning vocal harmonies and soothing acoustic melodies. But it was during the recording of their most recent studio album, 2013’s “Wassaic Way” (produced by Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy and Patrick Sansone), that a friend of Irion’s noticed some of the fierce electric guitar that was popping up throughout the record and gave Irion some advice. “He said I should probably think about putting my rock stuff somewhere else and not fusing too much of the rock stuff with the folk,” Irion says, “which is what we’d been doing. He’d always known that I had music like that in my head. Even though the Sarah Lee and Johnny stuff would fall

into a more digestible folk platter, I’ve always loved electric guitars. But those kinds of things would’ve never made it on a Sarah Lee and Johnny record.” And thus, after four records of bittersweet folk introspection, Irion formed a band called U.S. Elevator and recorded an album of rough-hewn roots-rock in the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers mode, heavy on wiry riffs and upbeat rhythms. The songs are catchy and full of layered harmonies, but the swaggering heaviness of songs like “Dangerous Love” and “Cry for Help” will surprise anyone who only knows Irion from his records with Guthrie. “It was fun to take on those ideas,” he says. “It ended up not feeling as weird as I thought it was going to be. I had the sound of U.S. Elevator in my head, and it was an opportunity to explore the rock side of things. And at the same time, I met a bunch of dudes in Santa Barbara who were willing to set up and record to this two-inch tape machine with my buddy [producer] Tim Bluhm. I had a vision that I wanted to play some rock ‘n’ roll and have the songs to back it up. And we did it. It all worked out. It’s just creating a whole other movie to be an actor in.” Irion is currently touring with U.S. Elevator, but he’s taking a break from those shows to play an acoustic in-store performance at Horizon Records with local singer/guitarist Niel Brooks on Wednesday. He’s planning to do songs from the new album in that acoustic format, but he says he’s not worried about the lack of amplifiers. “If you have to have amplification or any other tricks to make a song sound like a good song, it’s probably not worth playing in any form or fashion,” he says. “That’s always been the deal with any record I’m a part of. I have to be able to unplug the electric guitar and play it sitting in a room with friends or family. It has to be up to snuff to play it that way. If I don’t feel comfortable sitting in that circle and playing it, I probably won’t record it.” In fact, Irion might be playing some even newer songs at Horizon, because he’s got two more albums planned out. “I have a solo record coming out in the spring that I made with Dawes as the backing band,” he says. “And I have more songs for the project I’m doing after the solo album. I love stockpiling and constantly nesting songs and hopefully they have a home. I don’t like the pressure of having to go write a record all at once. I like touring, coming home, writing and then doing a record after that whole process.”

HOME Soil Therapy

with Will Morin

A Gardener’s Letter to Santa Dear Santa, I know it has been probably 35 years since I last wrote you, but with your bright and cheery “Ho Ho Ho” about to surround our homes and neighborhoods with Christmas splendor, I thought I would write you my own wish list for the holiday. Please bring me a Click and Grow Smart Herb Garden (ClickandGrow.com, $60). It’s far too cold to grow anything outside, so I’d love to be able to grow smart with this intelligent “smart” herb garden that only takes up a small footprint on your counter or desk. The device constantly monitors your plants, stores a month’s worth of water, utilizes LED technology for lighting and only consumes $3 worth of electricity a year. The Haws copper watering can (Williams-Sonoma.com, $90), made from bright and gleaming copper, dates back to 1886 London, when it was first produced by John Haws, who patented the “watering pot with perfect balance.” These classics are a fixture in English gardens. A gift certificate to Roots on Augusta would be a fun and welcoming surprise gift (RootsOfGreenville.com). Roots is known for their indoor garden inspirations, outdoor specialties, a flock of chickens and a handy potting service. In the spring and fall, a Roots gardener will come to your home and repot or replant your containers with fresh, seasonal color and amazing designs all painted with nature’s splendor. Fatwood from Orvis, at Main and Washington streets downtown (Orvis.com, 14-lb. wooden crate, $69). A sustainable product, “fatwood” is the resin-saturated heartwood from pine tree stumps. It lights a roaring crackling fire in minutes, fills the air with the scent of a pine forest and lets you sit back to enjoy time with the family or your favorite football team. It’s 5 o’clock somewhere – grow your own cocktail garden with the Cocktail Grow Kit (UncommonGoods.com, $12). Six-seed packets for thyme, lavender, Thai basil, mint, lemon balm and blue borage get their tasty starts in the included recycled egg carton. Everything sourced from within the USA. I have a lot planned for my garden next spring. I truly only wish for a healthy garden and a bountiful harvest. It is the time I get to spend in the soil – among the green leaves, colorful blossoms, beneficial insects, birds, butterflies and whatever else Mother Nature has planned – that is the important, rewarding part of life. This is all I really want for Christmas this year. The rest is just gravy. Thank you, Will Will Morin is an avid gardener and food enthusiast. Follow him on Twitter and Instagram @ DrinkNEats.

In order to make it easy for our buyers, lot surveys are already done, dock permits have been obtained, septic permits are on file with SC DHEC, and financial institutions are prepared to start lending money for this construction project. And if you aren’t ready to build yet, you can buy the lot now and build at a later date.

FRI

Blind Horse Saloon 1035 Lowndes Hill Road 9 p.m. | $15 (in advance)/$18 (door) There’s nothing wrong with a healthy sense of competition, whether in sports or music. And that compulsion to win might be why country singer Chris Lane’s star is rising so quickly. The former college baseball player has a drive to succeed in music that’s fueled his ascent. “I think everybody wants to go out there and give it everything they have,” he says. “And I think most bands are going to do that. No one wants to get outperformed by anybody. There’s certainly that competitive edge that most artists are going to have; you don’t want to get outshined.” Lane, whose recent single, “Fix,” was a big hit on the charts, is one of many country artists who performs both his own songs and outside material. “The music’s all about what you feel,” he says. “I write about a lot of things in my life, or stuff that I feel sure people can relate to. When it comes down to choosing songs, I just go with what I know is ‘me’ and my style. Whatever it says in the song, I make sure it’s something that I would want to talk about.” —Vincent Harris

Equally adept at soulful grit and jazzy improvisation, Jamie Wright has built a solid “allaround entertainer”-type reputation around the Upstate, and her tight, polished combo can match her genre-hopping every step of the way. 297-6100 aloftgreenvilledowntown.com

Singer/songwriter Brooks Dixon grew up within a solid musical community, provided by his family. “I grew up singing in choir with my brother and my sister,” he says. “My parents weren’t musicians, per se, but they loved music and they could sing and that’s what I grew up around. They forced me to start taking piano lessons when I was in second grade or so, then I picked up the guitar around seventh grade.” That background helped Dixon develop a back-porch acoustic playing style, and his sweet-and-sour vocals are perfect vehicles for his infectiously melodic, lyrically incisive slice-of-life songs. He’s got a keen eye for small details and a solid sense of songwriting that make the songs so pleasant that it’s easy to miss some of the darker, more turbulent emotions he expresses, as his newest EP, “Weather the Storm,” displays. “Most of my lyrics are personal,” he says. “It’s me diving deep into myself.” —Vincent Harris

CALENDAR Mason Jar Menagerie, w/ Gods of Mars & Sweat Lodge

CONCERT

NOV. 25

Radio Room, 2845 N. Pleasantburg Drive | 9 p.m. | $5 (21+)/$7 (under 21) The Fountain Inn trio Mason Jar Menagerie is part of a growing trend of bands taking the energy of power-trio rock and applying them to classic acoustic blues music – think Them Crooked Vultures or Dead Meadow. But the band, led by singer/songwriter/guitarist Jake Garrett, isn’t quite the acoustic-guitar-and-washboard combo that some might expect, given their influences. Garrett has a theory about why many modern musicians are combining seemingly incongruous sounds. “I think a lot of it is that kids grow up on the more aggressive punk music, and then when they get to a certain age, they start learning about Appalachian, bluegrass and folk,” he says. “So they take the roots of what they loved and apply that aggression to those other forms of music. It’s hard to take the punk out of a punk kid.” Garrett says that if you trace the history of rock ‘n’ roll and the history of older forms of music, they share similar roots. “If you keep going back, it all comes from the same place,” he says. “All you’re doing is making it more aggressive, a little more emotional than people were into at that time.” — Vincent Harris

The Classroom Window with Trevor Barton

I Am Because We Are I am a public school teacher in a highpoverty elementary school. My students are colorful and creative, wise and wonderful, beautiful and brave, and I love each and every one of them. Sheniece was one of my students a few years ago. She had colorful beads in her hair that clicked and clacked as she bounced down the hall. She had a face like the sun. On good days, it shined like the sun, bright and warm and ready to do the best she could do and be the best she could be. On bad days, though, it darkened like a storm cloud, tough and mean and ready to take on other students, her teacher and the world. One day she had a bad day. She rolled into the classroom, loud and belligerent, bothering other students and ignoring the morning procedures. “Sheniece,” I said sternly, “Park it and turn off your engine.” She put one hand on her hip, waved the other in front of me, and said, “Mr. Barton, who do you think you are?” I could have said, “Sheniece, I’m your teacher. I’m here to help you learn and to help you stay safe. The school says I’m ‘in parentis loci.’ Do you know what that means? It’s Latin for ‘I’m your parent at school!’ It means you have to listen to me and do what I say. So park it and turn off your engine.” Instead I looked into her big brown eyes and asked, “What about you? Who do you think you are?” She answered, “I think I want to be the first woman high school football coach in South Carolina.” I said, “Come on, let’s go and have a talk with Coach Burns. She can tell us how you can become a teacher and a coach.” We walked off together down the hallway toward the gym. Who do I think I am? To answer this question, the first place I go is to my feet. Maria was an immigrant student at my school. She was a secondgrader, with mischievous eyes and an infectious giggle. She was small in stature but big in heart. On special days, she dressed in bright and beautiful Mexican dresses and wore high-heeled shoes on her tiny feet. Once I stopped by Greenville Water on the way home from school. As I stood in line, I heard a little voice. “Mr. Barton! Oh, Mr. Barton! It’s so good to see you!” I looked around then down and there was Maria. She wrapped her arms around me and gave me a big hug. A baby stroller was beside her holding a toddler. Her mother was behind her holding an infant. “Maria,” I asked, “What are you doing here?” She answered, “I’m

here to help my mom pay our bill.” I hope my feet take me where Maria’s feet took her: to help someone. The second place I go is to my hands. Momadu was one of my best friends when my wife and I lived in Mali in West Africa. He was a cook at the mission station where we worked. The main food staples for us were rice and peanut sauce. “We’re having rice and peanut sauce for breakfast,” said my friends there. “We’re having peanut sauce over rice for lunch,” they said. “We’re going to put some tasty rice in a bowl and cover it with delicious peanut sauce for supper tonight!” they exclaimed. It was called tigadiga-na. I loved it and was thankful for it, but when you have it meal after meal, day after day and month after month, your taste buds cry out for something different. On my birthday, I walked up to the door of the little community house. Of course, I was expecting rice and peanut sauce with a candle in the middle of it for my birthday meal. Momadu met me at the door. “I have a surprise for you,” he said in his broken English that always made my heart whole. I sat down at the table. “Close your eyes,” he said. I closed them and he placed two trays on the table. “Open your eyes now,” he said. In front of me, in one of the most rural and remote places on the world, was a cheddar cheese meatloaf and a French apple pie. This was my favorite meal. He found the recipes in some old Southern Living magazines and went out into the surrounding villages and markets to find the ingredients that would work for the meal. I hope my hands create what Momadu created: something beautiful for someone else.
