OPINION

Views from your community

On Take Back Day, you can help fight opioid abuse by disposing of your prescription drugs properly

By Rep. Phyllis Henderson

Did you know that drug overdose is now the leading cause of death among Americans under the age of 50?

That every 21 days in the United States we lose the same amount of people who died on 9/11 to a drug overdose?

That 1 in 5 high school seniors report having misused prescription drugs at least once?

That women ages 45 and older have higher rates of opioid-use disorder than men?

That there were 876 drug overdose deaths in South Carolina in 2016, up 61 percent from 2007?

That Greenville County has one of the highest rates of deaths due to opioid overdose in the state?

These are sobering statistics. As a member of the House Opioid Prevention Abuse Study Committee, I have learned a great deal about how this epidemic is impacting our community, state, and nation.

In 2015, nearly two-thirds of drug overdoses were linked to opioids like Percocet, OxyContin, heroin, and fentanyl. This is an epidemic that all Americans face, because here is the grim reality: Americans consume more opioids than any other country in the world. In fact, in 2015, the amount of opioids prescribed in the U.S. was enough for every American to be medicated around the clock for three weeks.

The nonmedical use of prescription drugs ranks second only to marijuana as the most common form of drug abuse in America. Unused prescription drugs thrown in the trash can be retrieved and abused or illegally sold, while unused drugs that are flushed down the commode contaminate the water supply.

How can you join in the fight against prescription drug abuse?

Saturday, Oct. 28, is National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. On that day, several local agencies and the Drug Enforcement Administration will give the public its 14th opportunity in seven years to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. The service is free and anonymous; no questions asked.

Last April, Americans turned in 450 tons (900,000 pounds) of prescription drugs at almost 5,500 sites operated by the DEA and more than 4,200 of its state and local law enforcement partners. Overall, in its 13 previous Take Back events, the DEA and its partners have taken in over 8.1 million pounds of pills.

This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, mis-

use, and abuse. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet.

In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines — flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash — both pose potential safety and health hazards.

Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse.

Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet.

The following locations in Greenville County will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Oct. 28 for National Prescription Drug Take Back Day. Bring your unused prescription medications to any of the following locations for safe disposal: Greenville Memorial Hospital, 701 Grove Road, Greenville; Greer Memorial Hospital, 830 S. Buncombe Road, Greer; Hillcrest Memorial Hospital, 729 SE Main St., Simpsonville; Greenville City Court House, 426 N. Main St., Greenville; Fountain Inn Police Department, 300 N.

Since my last update regarding VC Summer, I have traveled to Washington, D.C., to meet with members of our federal legislative delegation and policy experts, had many conversations with people involved with the project, attended another South Carolina Senate VC Summer Nuclear Review Committee meeting, and met with the governor.

In this time, I have learned many things and have begun considering and discussing what can be done to make this situation hurt ratepayers less, to guarantee that it cannot happen again, and to address changes that can be made legislatively going forward.

Based on what I have learned, I am certain that the Legislature needs to repeal the Base Load Review Act, assess our regulatory environment and make changes for improvement, and either sell or restructure Santee Cooper.

Repealing the Base Load Review Act and taking a hard look at our regulatory system will provide important protections for ratepayers. It will mean that private utilities cannot finance projects that have not yet been built on the backs of ratepayers.

The Public Service Commission and Office of Regulatory Staff ’s structure and function need to be more finely tuned.

As for Santee Cooper – a political subdivision/public utility – I am not sure if the best solution is to sell immediately or restructure for a sale at a later date. A decision of this magnitude needs to be made deliberately and carefully so that further harm is not done.

I am engaged in these discussions and will withhold judgment about what to do with them until we get more information from the experts.

That said, my hope is that construction will restart and the reactors will be completed (similar to the Vogtle plant in Georgia).

If a sale of Santee Cooper achieves that objective, I will be more inclined to support it. If we cannot complete the two reactors at VC Summer, then we must weigh whether Santee Cooper is sold now at a discount or later once financial solvency is attained.

I will continue to advocate for limited government. Political subdivisions across our state exist for historical reasons that are no longer valid. Privatizing all political subdivisions reasonably possible will let free market forces improve the lives of our citizens.

I will keep you informed.

The legislative session begins in January. I anticipate all of these things to be major issues to address.

Greenville Health System Swamp Rabbit Trail

HITTING THE TRAILS New GHS Swamp Rabbit Trail route could connect to Haywood Mall…PLUS 3 other routes WORDS BY CINDY LANDRUM As work continues to extend the Greenville Health System Swamp Rabbit Trail along Laurens Road from Pleasantburg Drive to Verdae Boulevard, the City of Greenville is looking ahead to other potential trail projects.

“We need to have several trails in the pipeline,” said City Councilwoman Amy Ryberg Doyle. “We should be doing 1 to 2 miles per year.”

Paving is expected to begin in January on the GHS Swamp Rabbit Trail extension from Pleasantburg Drive to Verdae Boulevard. Greenville County is overseeing construction of the project, and the city is pitching in $2.5 million to build bridges across Laurens Road, Haywood Road, and Verdae Boulevard. The trail will go under Pleasantburg Drive.

Edward Kinney, senior landscape architect for the city and coordinator of the city’s bike efforts, said Greenville’s 2012 bike master plan proposed on-street bike lanes linking Laurens Road to Haywood Mall, but that is not feasible because of traffic and the existing engineering of Haywood Road.

NEW TRAIL 1: A potential parallel route using existing sewer easements could connect the new Laurens Road section of the GHS Swamp Rabbit Trail to Pelham Road, Kinney said. The Laurel Creek trail would be Americans

with Disabilities Act compatible, and it would have a grade of under 5 percent along the entire way. The route would have up to three street crossings and up to three pedestrian bridges. Kinney said a feasibility and preliminary engineering study would cost $85,000 and take nine to 12 months to complete.

If it is constructed, the just under 1-mile-long trail could eventually reach residents of the apartment complexes near Haywood Mall and the Fluor campus.

NEW TRAIL 2: A second potential trail project would connect Cleveland Park to the new bridge over Laurens Road that is being built as part of the Laurens Road GHS Swamp Rabbit Trail extension. That connector would provide multiple ways for people to get to Cleveland Park, City Manager John Castile said. The city has spent $1,500 on an internal feasibility study and would need to do an engineering feasibility study, Kinney said.

NEW TRAIL 3: Work to create the Sliding Rock Mountain Bike Trail, a natural surface trail adjacent to Nicholtown, is proceeding, Kinney said. Upstate SORBA, an off-road bike advocacy group, adopted the project in 2013, and the city wrote a letter of support for a grant application. Kinney said SORBA presented its plan to the Nicholtown Com-

munity Association in August and received unanimous approval for it. As soon as a memorandum of understanding between the city and SORBA is finalized outlining SORBA’s role in the construction and maintenance of the trail, construction can begin, Kinney said. The city will contribute amenities at the trailhead.

NEW TRAIL 4: The city will conduct a preliminary, inhouse feasibility study of turning a city-owned abandoned rail line that runs from Washington Street to McDaniel Avenue into a trail. The trail could serve as a secondary bike route for those in the Washington and McDaniel area and provide a secondary zoo entrance, Kinney said. In addition, the trail could provide additional zoo parking access. The feasibility study will look at grade, secondary zoo entrance dynamics, and approaches to Washington and McDaniel.

And finally, the city will conduct feasibility studies on creating protected bike lanes on Townes and Richardson streets, West Washington Street, McBee Avenue, and Pendleton Street.

The city currently has one protected bike lane on Broad Street from South Main to Falls streets. Protected bike lanes separate bicycle traffic from vehicular traffic by using curbs, bollards, planters, parked cars, and paint.

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN Should we block off Main Street from vehicular traffic?

Our readers voice their opinions Last week, Greenville Journal columnist Bobby Barreto penned a column proposing an idea that would radically change Main Street – blocking off the road from Beattie Place to Washington Street and turning it into a pedestrian and dining thoroughfare.

Some of you applauded. Some of you proclaimed that this was a singularly stupid idea. Some of you even had a few equally audacious proposals of your own.

Here’s what you had to say on our Facebook page.

Scott Dishman This is a stellar idea, and pedestrian-

Edward Iwanski Perhaps it might be modified to allow

ers and officials from city governments from all over the U.S. come here to see what we have done. Do we want to take a chance like Kalamazoo did on their Burdick Street?

They reintroduced cars to a closed pedestrian street at a cost of $3.5 million.

rich environments like Charlottesville, Va., have made it work beautifully. Restaurants can expand their patios outside, artists and musicians abound, and there’s no traffic for pedestrians to worry about. There’s so little parking really available on Main Street, the new garages recently built can absorb that need. And truthfully, except for cruisers, no one uses Main Street as a through street in the evenings. Too much traffic. To reject this idea because people want to cruise would be a shame. It would be a huge win for this town. Dream, people!

Bob Evans I think we should block car traffic on from

Friday at 5 p.m. to Sunday at 10 p.m. Consider also including national holidays for the closure as well. Only allow the trolley. Allow restaurants to expand outside seating to the parking spots during the road closures.

Brandon Schell I worked downtown for eight or so years. I had to go outside every two hours, on the hour, to move my car so that I wouldn’t get a parking fine. What we need to do is to get rid of the meter maids! No more parking fines downtown!

Chris Harrigan With more and more people using

Jan Mears Collins And for the people with difficulty

Flemming Josephsen I have been a proponent of this exact idea for several years. One could start small, say, close off the Coffee Street intersection so that Coffee Street becomes a “dead end.” The next step would be to eliminate the on-street parking in these sections. Having a street with nothing but idling cars serves no purpose.

It is downright unhealthy walking downtown Greenville due to all the idling cars… The rest of the Main Street access should be for zero-emission vehicles only.

Uber, parking becomes even less significant. Forward thinking might be having a dedicated “drop-off point” for ride share or taxis.

Nathan Ashley Totally agree. It would also get rid of the idiots that just cruise up and down the street making noise. Main Street isn’t the strip at Myrtle Beach.

Laurie Wilson Hart Terrible idea for those with mobility issues. The lack of handicapped parking on Main Street is already terrible. Maybe one spot per block on opposite ends of the block. It’s very disheartening to those who want to enjoy dining downtown but can’t because of so little concern for people with mobility issues. Want to move traffic? Put more handicapped spaces on Main instead of regular ones and the traffic will ease up. People with no mobility issues can park in the garages.

Ernest LaFoy This would increase bicycle, skateboard,

skaters, and other non-motorized activity. The author didn’t mention that would be stopped. Real inconvenience for older people and handicapped with mobility issues.

the “trolley” buses and carriages to continue using it and prohibit other traffic. It seems there are plenty of other places to park, and it would eliminate a great deal of congestion on Main.

walking far? Walking to and from a parking garage isn’t just an inconvenience; it eliminates the trip altogether.

Don’t know of many handicapped or even comprised individuals that choose to be in that situation.

Carol Perrin Cobb No! I was in Winston-Salem when this was tried there decades ago. It failed miserably. People quit going to downtown because the pedestrian area got overrun with panhandlers, bums, and drunks. And you had to figure out how to get around in downtown, since the center of town was blocked to traffic. Please don’t add to downtown congestion by doing this!

Tom Kline Aw, let’s turn it back into a four-lane road so the teenagers can cruise back and forth for hours on end like we did back in the ’70s. Seriously, I avoid Main Street most of the time because of the issues spoken of in this article.

Robert Showalter Keep in mind just because this concept works in one city does not mean it will work here.

Most cities that have had success with closing streets to pedestrian traffic have strong retail side streets. These side streets feed into main streets. Greenville has one major retail/business area, and that is our Main Street.

Our side streets struggle with retail. Our Main Street works! It works so well that thousands of urban develop-

Sheila Hasser I agree! There are times that I would love to dine alfresco, but do not because of the car emissions! Who wants to watch all those cars go by while eating?

Howard Irby It’s a great idea, young man, but this city will look like another European city, and who is going to pay for this European change to the downtown area?

Richard Conn Turning Main Street in downtown Greenville into a pedestrian walkway is perfect. Greenville could differentiate itself further from other cities by looking at a gondola system suspended above Main Street to quickly move people/strollers/scooters over distances.

Local group works to designate parking spots for wounded veterans Every parking lot provides reserved spaces for handicapped drivers and expectant mothers, but now a local group of veterans is working to designate spaces for those who have been wounded fighting for our country.

The Military Order of the Purple Heart Chapter 845, a Greenville-based group that supports military veterans and their families, is providing establishments with specially designed signs that designate reserved parking for wounded veterans.

The signs, which the group distributes for free, are meant to not only honor wounded veterans but also serve as a reminder of the sacrifices they made at home and abroad, according to Greenville resident Doug Greenlaw, who is chairman of the Military Order of the Purple Heart Chapter 845 and Community Journals.

“Combat-wounded veterans suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, bad joints, and all kinds of other health issues. But many don’t qualify for handicap parking,” said Greenlaw, who was wounded twice during an infantry combat tour in Vietnam. “We’re hoping that these signs make it easier for them to get around town.”

He added that the parking signs were donated by the Wounded Warriors Family Support Organization, a Nebraska-based nonprofit that helps families of injured or killed soldiers.

The organization began offering the signs in 2014. It has since distributed more than 2,000 signs across the country.

The signs are emblazoned with the Purple Heart, a medal awarded to those who have either been wounded or killed in combat. There have been an estimated 1.8 million Purple Heart medals awarded since it was established in 1932.

Greenlaw and others are working to install 20 signs at businesses, churches, and other establishments across Greenville County. To date, the group has installed a sign at Cabela’s on Woodruff Road and Willow Creek Country Club in Greer.

“Cabela’s is grateful and humbled for the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women who risk it all each and every day,” said Tina Furmanek, marketing manager for Cabela’s.

“Our gesture of putting up a sign to recognize and assist our veterans is a just a small token of appreciation.”

The signs are not official regulatory signs and do not replace existing handicap parking spots, but Greenlaw said he hopes people will use the “honor system” and leave the spots for veterans who sometimes need more space to get in and out of their vehicles. –Andrew Moore

Sheriff Will Lewis denies sexual assault allegations, admits to ‘consensual encounter’ During a press conference last week, Sheriff Will Lewis denied allegations brought against him in a lawsuit filed by former Greenville County Sheriff’s Office employee Savannah Nabors. Nabors has accused Lewis of harassment and sexual assault.

Lewis, however, admitted to having a “consensual encounter” with Nabors.

“As the sheriff of the county, I took an oath to protect the county and the people of the county. More importantly, I took an oath and vow to my wife and my children to be a loving and faithful husband and also a father that protects my children,” Lewis said. “It pains me to tell you that I in fact broke that vow to my wife and family. I had a consensual encounter earlier this year, and for that, deeply sorry doesn’t cover it. But that’s all I can tell you, is that I am deeply and truly sorry for that.”

Lewis said the encounter was “a moral failure that he has to take up with his family.”

He reiterated there is “zero credibility” to the accusations of rape and stalking and said he looks forward to the conclusion of the litigation and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division investigation.

Lewis said he plans to continue to serve as sheriff and that the lawsuit will not affect the mission of the Sheriff’s Office.

“I think it’s most important that you guys understand that no matter what my personal infidelity led to, that this is still the best agency in South Carolina hands down. The best men and women work here, and the best men and women will continue to work here,” he said.

Lewis asked that the media allow privacy for his family. He did not take questions from the media and ended the press conference by saying, “Continued prayers are always appreciated.” . –Andrew Moore

How one Upstate family turned their outdoor adventures into an international television show

CREATURE FEATURES

COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM

n a recent afternoon, along a secluded trail at Jones Gap State Park, 17-yearold Pierce Curren pried open a plastic container and gently reached inside to retrieve his Peruvian red-tailed boa constrictor named Lewi. “He loves fresh air and sunlight,” said Curren. “But I usually don’t take him out in public areas, because I don’t want to scare people.”

As the 5-foot-long snake slithered up his right arm and shoulder, Curren explained that many people have a deep-seated fear of snakes. “I completely understand why some people are afraid,” he said. “But they aren’t as dangerous as people make them out to be.”

Boa constrictors like Lewi kill by coiling around their prey and squeezing until its heart stops. Then the serpents swallow their victim whole. Luckily, they only feed on small mammals like mice and birds, Curren said.

“I would be lying if I said you shouldn’t handle these animals with care, but for the most part, they’re gentle giants,” he said. “It’s really just a matter of educating people and clearing up any misconceptions they might have.”

That’s why Curren has spent the past four years working alongside his parents, Rick and Tanya, to produce an educational television show called “Scaly Adventures.”

The show, which airs internationally, features the Curren family as they travel across the Southeastern United States to interview wildlife experts and participate in conservation efforts.

“The purpose of the show is not only to teach what rep-

tiles are really like, but also to teach kids how they should interact with and care for animals,” said Tanya Curren.

“It’s also our way of trying to inspire families to get outside and have their own adventures.”

The family of three, who live just outside of northern Greenville County near Table Rock, decided to film their own reality television show after a series of unfortunate events inspired them to pursue Pierce’s dream of working with animals.

In 2004, Tanya had a routine hysterectomy but contracted a staph infection, which spread through her entire body. She fell into a coma for eight days and was given only hours to live. She recovered not long after, but by 2007 she became addicted to prescription drugs and was ready to commit suicide.

“I felt so broken and worthless and like everything had gone wrong in life. But after praying with my family, I decided to get back up and fight. It wasn’t easy, but I was able to eventually break free from my addiction,” she said.

Soon after Tanya beat her addiction to prescription drugs, Rick was laid off from his $200,000-a-year sales job. “The company provided a small severance package and even offered to help me find another job, but I honestly felt like it was time to move on,” he said. “I had a good salary, but I was miserable in sales. I was tired of traveling and ready to spend more time at home with my family.”

In 2009, Rick and Tanya launched Boundless Limits International, a nonprofit dedicated to “creating positive

media with the sole purpose of inspiring others to lead a life of purpose and passion.” The couple wrote several books, recorded Tanya’s story on audio CD, and spoke at conferences and churches about their journey.

They also devoted themselves to their son and his education, including his passion for reptiles. “I went through several phases as a kid,” said Pierce Curren. “I was really into geology and dinosaurs for a while. But then I discovered reptiles, which are fascinating.”

Pierce got his first pet snake in 2009 when Rick captured a red-bellied brown snake in their yard. “I named that snake Chester and kept him for about a year,” said Pierce Curren. “Then we started attending reptile shows and collecting more snakes.”

After collecting more than a dozen reptiles, the Currens decided to share their son’s passion with others and launched “Scaly Adventures.”

With no money, help, or experience, the family of three started a website and began filming educational videos in front of animal exhibits at the Greenville Zoo. Their videos garnered a large following across the Southeast and were soon being aired as filler spots for a television station in Atlanta. That’s when the station’s manager recommended that the Currens film a pilot episode for a television series.

“We never set out to do a television series. It was just an outlet for Pierce to share his passion for reptiles with other kids,” said Rick Curren. “But we also knew it was a great opportunity to provide young kids with a familyfriendly show.”

Tanya Curren

In 2004, Tanya had a routine hysterectomy but contracted a staph infection, which spread through her entire body. She fell into a coma for eight days and was given only hours to live.

In 2013, the Currens created a pilot episode and distributed 40 copies at a National Religious Broadcasters conference in Nashville, Tenn., where a distributor from Russia decided to release it internationally on multiple networks. The Currens raised $5,000 and shot 14 episodes across the Southeast for their first season, which aired in September 2013.

The show, which airs on the Daystar network on Saturdays at noon and on various other networks across the world, has become a big hit among young kids and their parents since debuting, said Tanya Curren. It was even nominated for a Southeast Regional Emmy Award for Outstanding Children’s Programming in 2013.

More recently, it was named nonprofit of the year by the Environmental Education Association of South Carolina. The show, which is operated under Boundless Limits, offers information on a variety of animals, their habitats, and conservation issues.

In 2014, for instance, the Currens featured Greenville’s Safe Haven & Educational Adventures, a sanctuary for exotic animals that have either been abandoned or abused by their owners. Another episode featured the Georgia Sea Turtle Center, which is one of the country’s only rehabilitation centers for sick and injured sea turtles.

Scaly Adventures also spotlights organizations and careers, such as veterinarians, police officers, educators, and military officers. The show’s fifth season, which aired earlier this month, features the Greenville Police Department’s SWAT team, K-9 unit, and patrol officers

“We love shining a positive light on the work they do to keep our communities safe,” said Rick Curren. “They don’t get paid huge salaries for putting their lives on the line, but they are passionate about their job. That deserves our respect.”

The Currens also do presentations for school groups, camps, and organizations and offer birthday party entertainment across the Upstate. It not only allows them to connect with their fans but also teach life lessons to kids, according to Rick Curren.

“I always stress that our show is more about human conservation than anything else,” he said. “We use animals as a hook to engage students and teach them lessons on bullying, drugs, racism, and other prominent issues affecting our society today. We need to address these things if

we’re going to survive as a species.”

The Currens plan to film 10 more episodes across the Southeast this spring for the sixth season of “Scaly Adventures.” It will feature the Greenville Swamp Rabbits hockey team and several other organizations across the region, according to Tanya Curren.

As for Pierce, he’s already thinking ahead and planning a career as a veterinarian.

“I’m not completely sure about my plans for college, but I’m definitely looking to go somewhere that’s close to home,” he said.

“As for the show, we’ll either have to take a different approach or continue to film during my winter and summer breaks. It just depends on what I decide to do about school.”

‘ FOR ANYONE, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME’ Mental Health America of Greenville County’s crisis services fill an often-overlooked need, but funding cuts and volunteer shortages pose continued challenges WORDS BY EMILY PIETRAS For anyone who has ever dealt with stress, worry, depression, or anxiety, finding a person who will simply listen can be invaluable. And for the past 25 years, Mental Health America of Greenville County (MHAGC) has been offering that vital service to the community at no cost through CRISISline, a 24/7 year-round hotline operated by volunteers.

CRISISline gives callers an “opportunity to talk about how it feels to be in their shoes and how it feels to deal with what they’re dealing with,” says Kathy Eckart, director of crisis intervention services at MHAGC. “We really market it in terms of it’s for anyone, anywhere, anytime,” says Jennifer Piver, executive director of MHAGC. “One thing we all frequently will say to people is if we asked everyone what a crisis would be, the definition would be completely different from every one of us. And we really take that perspective on the phones: that a crisis is individual.”

By providing callers with a resource to talk through their situation, the hope is that they can develop coping mechanisms or solutions on their own, and that it will also help to “minimalize the cumulative effect of stress,” Piver says.

And while the demand for MHAGC’s crisis services continues to increase, a lack of resources, compounded

by funding cuts and volunteer shortages, has posed challenges for the agency.

‘THESE AREN’T ANONYMOUS PEOPLE’ Piver says MHAGC once had the capacity to answer about 15,000 CRISISline calls a year. In 2016, CRISISline answered 9,201 calls — while missing nearly 9,000.

“Right now, we don’t have a full-time volunteer coordinator,” she says. “If we were able to afford that, fewer calls would go unanswered.”

The agency doesn’t receive any county, state, or federal support, according to Piver, and is funded primarily through the United Way of Greenville County, private donations, program service fees, and grants. To protect individuals’ privacy, the identities and stories of those who are helped by MHAGC’s crisis services remain unknown to the public. That promise of confidentiality, though it is essential for maintaining the trust of callers, can be a detriment for MHAGC in their efforts to drum up community and institutional support for their mission.

“People have a hard

time funding anonymous people,” Piver says, “and what we try to help people understand is that in all reality, these aren’t anonymous people.”

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, 18.5 percent of adults experience mental illness each year, and 21.4 percent of youth ages 13 to 18 experience “a severe mental disorder at some point during their life.”

The organization also reports “half of all chronic mental illness begins by age 14.”

“This really affects every dining room table,” Piver says. “And no one necessarily plans to have a crisis. … But we’re here, and people don’t think to support that.”

Adds Eckart, “We hear all the time what a great service it [CRISISline] is and how people give out our cards all the time. And all of that is free. And to not have that backing for it… that makes us sad, too, that we can’t be there for as many people as we’d like to be.”

In 2016, CRISISline answered 9,201 calls — while missing nearly 9,000.

“ Given the current environment and the negativity bouncing around, to come in and try to do something positive, even if it’s just a small piece… it makes a difference not just in their day but in mine, too.”

Currently, CRISISline has 24 volunteers.

For MHAGC to be in “a really healthy position,” the agency would need close to 75 volunteers.

The obstacles MHAGC faces aren’t only attributable to the agency’s own funding, however, as statewide cuts to mental health care have increased demand for alternate resources.

MHAGC’s Reassurance Line, a support line that places outgoing calls to individuals with chronic mental illness, has become a “stopgap” for accessing professional mental health treatment. “When it takes time to get into a psychiatrist or counselor, we’re checking in. We’re the inbetween,” Piver says.

The calls serve as reminders to individuals living independently to complete what are termed activities of daily living, which include eating, showering, dressing, and taking prescribed medication. In 2016, MHAGC placed 11,436 Reassurance Line calls.

the immediate impulse would be to try to discourage a caller from acting on those thoughts, but MHAGC deliberately does not take that approach.

“To tell someone that they can’t do it is unrealistic,” Piver says. “We do everything we can to identify the feelings of how they got there and what they can control in their own life. … We acknowledge that it’s OK [to have those thoughts], but by not putting a reactionary spotlight on it, we can get to those feelings.”

Therefore, whether or not a caller is suicidal, the method for volunteers working the phones remains the same: Through active listening, they acknowledge the caller’s current situation and emotions, and then ask how they have previously used coping mechanisms to deal with past incidences of stress.

‘A SNAPSHOT OF THE SITUATION’

‘DESPERATE FOR VOLUNTEERS’

Whether volunteers are working on the CRISISline or the Reassurance Line, remaining objective and suspending judgment while on the phone are critical. A volunteer who is talking to a caller only knows a “snapshot of the situation,” Piver says, so attempting to either give advice or make decisions for someone is “incomplete and dangerous.”

“Oftentimes, people want us to validate a decision, but we can’t,” she says.

That remains the case even when speaking to those who express suicidal thoughts on the phone. For many,

Currently, CRISISline has 24 volunteers. For MHAGC to be in “a really healthy position,” the agency would need close to 75 volunteers, Piver says.

The time commitment is one roadblock in volunteer recruitment. Prospective CRISISline volunteers must undergo 45 hours of classroom instruction involving education and role-playing, followed by another 20 hours of mentoring, in which volunteers first listen in on CRISISline calls and then have their calls listened to. In total, training lasts about a month.

“With a food bank or something, you can meet some-

“With a food bank or something, you can meet someone that day and have them volunteering in an hour.

That is not at all how we function, which is what makes it so difficult.”

one that day and have them volunteering in an hour. That is not at all how we function, which is what makes it so difficult,” Piver says.

“We’re desperate for volunteers. There’s no reason that a call should go missed,” she adds. “And the skills that people learn are lifetime skills that help in every aspect of life in terms of dealing with those you love and situations you come across.”

Erin*, 25, who began volunteering in January, says that while she believed she was a good listener prior to her training, her experience as a CRISISline volunteer has led to improved personal listening skills.

“It’s helped my relationships and friendships,” she says. “I catch myself not minimizing people’s problems.

You can’t downplay what people are feeling.”

Jim*, 69, who has been volunteering on CRISISline for four years, says the overall experience has been “enlightening about what’s out in the community that you don’t see walking down the street.”

A retired professor and licensed professional counselor, Jim says that a saying he heard — “don’t retire from, but retire to” — inspired him to volunteer.

“Given the current environment and the negativity bouncing around, to come in and try to do something positive, even if it’s just a small piece… it makes a difference not just in their day but in mine, too,” he says.

“The value of listening is not recognized,” he adds.

“This is the place to learn that.” *Erin and Jim are both pseudonyms. MHAGC keeps the identities of crisis service volunteers confidential.

A little bit o’ heaven is how I would describe the garden of Bill and Evelyn Watkins. It’s packed with intensive plantings of annuals, such as cosmos, nigella, Brazilian bachelor button, milkweed, Texas sage, zinnia, coleus, and hybrid red salvia (also known as Salvia splendens). The latter reseeds itself.

As Evelyn describes them, the annuals are self-sowing once established. All she does is “edit them” each spring for the desired results. Perennials like passion vine, sedum, larkspur, black magic elephant ear, and a wonderful textural chenille plant that looks like a pink caterpillar are just a few of the collection.

Under cover on the patio sits a shelf filled with various types of begonias, kept for cuttings to give to friends who come to admire the garden. Terra cotta pots loaded with seasonal color strike a pose, drawing one’s eye to various points along the path, up the steps, and throughout the garden.

Every possible inch of dirt is covered with plants of some sort. Vincas, native to North America, reseed prolifically. Cotoneaster is sculpted into the front steps; thyme and sedge cover the paths. Passion vines ramble at the edge of the formal hedge in the back, chewed up by the hungry caterpillars that will change into the Gulf fritillary butterfly. The milkweed was full of monarch caterpillars on the day I visited.

Terraced stone beds full of caladium and elephant ears, which Evelyn says she pulls up like weeds, and formal shrubs for sculpture and a water feature for sound all

draw you deeper into this garden.

With a passion for caladium bulbs, Evelyn digs the bulbs each fall and replants them every year. My favorite container garden was called a “fairy garden,” loaded with tiny little bells on wires meant to ding if the “fairies” were close. The garden is a true sanctuary, devoted to butterflies and bees, natural sounds, and beauty.

October can be busy in the garden.

Leaves fall, and we turn them into mulch.

Asparagus can be bedded down now with at least 2 inches of mulch. Herbs should be harvested now, before that first frost. If you are new to the area, we expect frost by early November, but there is no promise on this, so you need to prepare for it now. Follow the weather forecast and be prepared for sudden

Villas at Carriage Hills & West Georgia 1 Heron Way, Simpsonville, SC 29680

Home Info Price: Starting from $260’s Info: Maintenance-free, all brick patio homes. Private outdoor courtyards. Picturesque streetscapes. Great location near Greenville, I-285, shopping, restaurants & airport.

HOA Services Provided: All lawn maintenance, irrigation, mulch applications, weed control, leaf removal, gutter repairs, pressure washing, exterior paint, driveway and sidewalk repair, roof repairs and termite bond Agent: Allison Wallace 704-271-9084 Allison@NewStyleCommunities.com

Live the maintenance-free lifestyle you deserve! So, you’ve been thinking about what life would be like without the hassles of yard work and home maintenance. We understand. If you’re like most of our home buyers, you’ve been thinking about “right-sizing” your next home for a long time. But you don’t want to sacrifice quality and you don’t want to compromise on features. We understand.

You need to check out The Villas at Carriage Hills and West Georgia where architecture and natural beauty intersect with a no-maintenance platform where all exterior maintenance is handled by others - giving you the freedom to enjoy your free time.

We’ve designed Carriage Hills and West Georgia with a quaint and intimate streetscape - combined with charming architectural elements and high-quality construction practices. The wellcoordinated community will be one-of-a-kind for the residents of Greenville.

You’ll soon discover the benefits of maintenance-free living and the convenience of having all of life’s amenities right outside your front door.

temperature drops. Protect your tender plants in the vegetable garden as needed.

Bring in your houseplants, and develop fall and winter container gardens now so their roots can settle in before it turns cold. Collect seeds from your annuals if you wish to replant them next spring.

Bulbs can be planted by the end of October. You will learn a great deal from bulb catalogs. (I love the John Scheepers’ bulb catalog.) Certain perennials seeds, including coneflower, larkspur, foxglove, poppies, and stock, need cold weather to germinate, so sow them soon.

It’s a good thing that I don’t have to rely on my garden to feed me through the winter. I do rely on the seasons to shift, the daylight to shorten, and the deep dark of the winter to settle in on me.

Caring for a garden and observing its mysteries has been an enduring joy. As Evelyn says, “We learn by doing.”

Quoting from Paul Pitchford, author of “Healing With Whole Foods,” “The mysterious forces of the Earth create moisture in the heaven and fertile soil upon the Earth.”

See you in the garden.

The garden is mysterious. As the leaves drop and the nights chill, I find I am looking for ways to make life easier.

We put our heart and soul into our garden; it’s a way of self-expression.

MORE THAN A REMAKE Centre Stage’s ‘Ghost the Musical’ goes beyond replicating its source material EMILY PIETRAS | ASSOCIATE EDITOR

epietras@communityjournals.com

When the movie “Ghost” was released in 1990, it became a box office hit, grossing over $500 million in theaters. Starring Patrick Swayze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg, the film tells the story of Sam (Swayze) and Molly (Moore), a young couple who is prematurely separated when Sam is murdered by his shady business partner and turned into a ghost.

Invisible and incapable of communicating with Molly, Sam enlists the help of Oda Mae Brown (Goldberg), a psychic.

Fast-forward about two decades later to 2011, and the ’90s classic was adapted into a musical, which will make its Southeastern theater debut at Centre Stage this week.

And although drawing comparisons between the source material and its musical version is expected, executive artistic director Glenda ManWaring and David Bean, who plays Sam, insist that the “Ghost the Musical” cast and crew aren’t aiming to simply reproduce what was on the silver screen.

“We aren’t trying to mimic the iconic characters of Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore,” she says. “We’re letting the actors tell their story in their way.”

Bean adds, “The strongest thing we’re attempting to do is not just pay homage to the movie, not just say, ‘Hey, remember this great movie? Now we’re doing this on stage,’ but say, ‘Check out this story we’re telling.’”

Paige ManWaring, who plays Molly, says preparing for a role that is already so entrenched in pop culture has been a balancing act between making the character recognizable to audiences while also bringing her own unique interpretation. The chal-

lenge is “trying to make [Molly] authentic and real without copying something a celebrity has done,” she says.

“I feel connected with the character in general, mostly because she’s an artist. And she’s in a new, loving relationship. It seems like everything is going her way, and the world crashes around her,” she adds.

Gisele Gathings, who plays Oda Mae, says she brought her own personality to her performance, rather than imitating Goldberg’s approach to the role. “I embody a lot of this character’s quirkiness and things,” she says. “I already had them.

So what I embody in that character, I bring and I incorporate it.”

For those who haven’t seen “Ghost,” the musical adaptation isn’t just meant to entertain and captivate fans of the film.

Bean says, “The people who never saw the movie will enjoy the story itself and these characters and the journey they go on.”

He adds, “One of the unique things in this role is looking at Sam from the perspective of the seven stages of grief. Those are typically applied to mourning the death of a loved one, but from Sam’s perspective, many of the seven stages are there when he’s on the other side of the curtain, so to speak. He’s dealing with his own death and all he’s trying to accomplish.”

Bean also singles out the “impressive technical elements of the show” as another draw. For Glenda ManWaring, employing those technical features was the biggest challenge in successfully bringing “Ghost the Musical” to the stage. To achieve the desired effects, the crew had to get creative with lighting design and also employ dry ice, haze, and fog.

The production is also heavily relying on utilizing projectors, says Paige Man-

Waring, as the set will be entirely composed of projected images displayed on 14-foot-tall screens around the stage.

She adds, “The way we’re mastering it and making it work, it has to be done on a professional level that is half magic and half theater, which makes it so special.”

HAIL TO THE KING B-movie icon Bruce Campbell comes to town with a pop culture game show VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR

vharris@communityjournals.com

There’s a lot of Detroit work ethic in actor, writer, director, producer, and Michigan native Bruce Campbell. Like the auto builders of that city, he has put in a lot of hours over the years, first gaining cult fame as Ash Williams, the eternally putupon, chainsaw-armed protagonist of the “Evil Dead” trilogy, before moving on to a seemingly endless series of roles.

Campbell has appeared in over 100 different films, TV shows, and video games, including B-movies like “Maniac Cop,” mainstream TV shows like the USA Network’s “Burn Notice,” big-budget films like Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man” trilogy, and cult gems like “Bubba HoTep.” Along the way, Campbell has amassed a devoted following for his self-deprecating wit, lantern-jawed leadingman good looks, and sheer commitment to whatever role he’s in. He’s also become a three-time best-selling author, first with his 2002 career memoir “If Chins Could Kill: Confessions of a B-Movie Actor,” then with his fictional novel “Make Love the Bruce Campbell Way,” and now with his second memoir, “Hail to the Chin: Further Confessions Of A B-Movie Actor,” which details the last 15 years or so of his career.

Oh, and he’s also trying his hand as a game show host. More on that in a bit.

If there’s a unifying element to Campbell’s two memoirs, it’s that he treats every project with the same respect, whether it’s a hit like “Burn Notice,” his Starz series “Ash vs. Evil Dead,” or his lesserknown films.

“If I say yes to something, big, medium, or small, it’s no different to me,” he says.

“You have to put in the full effort on your part of it, whether you’re acting, writing, producing, directing, dancing, or singing.

You do your part, because there’s a lot you can’t control.”

In the book, and in conversation, Campbell typically handles his Hollywood

ups and downs with a grain of salt and a handful of wisecracks, but there’s one section of “Hail to the Chin” where there are no jokes allowed.

“When I talk about visiting troops in Iraq, that’s about as serious as I get,” he says. “It was a privilege to go over there. …

It has an impact seeing guys who made the ultimate sacrifice.”

It was Campbell’s work with the troops that indirectly led to his latest role as the host of a traveling trivia game show called Last Fan Standing.

“It was a game show developed by [Iconic Media Group Inc. CEO] Steve Sellery, who’s now a buddy of mine,” Campbell says.

“He called me up and said he was doing a

show called The Armed Forces Trivia Quest at Fort Sam Houston in Texas and asked if I wanted to come host it.”

“After seeing him do the first event, we collectively thought we really had something here, but why don’t we use it to celebrate fandom? And that’s what became Last Fan Standing,” says Sellery, who also leads event- and sponsorship-focused business across Community Journals’ media portfolio.

Here’s how the game works: Everyone in the audience gets a response device, and the first part of the show features the crowd answering a series of questions about sci-fi, fantasy, superheroes, pop culture, and, naturally, Bruce Campbell.

The top four people who answer the most questions correctly and quickly advance.

Through a series of rounds, the four are narrowed down to one last fan standing.

That fan wins a unique prize.

“It’s a blast,” Campbell says of the game, whose stop in Greenville on Halloween night is sponsored by Borderlands Comics & Games. “Everybody plays, and anybody could get up there if they’re fast enough on the trigger and they’re accurate.”

The show is set up as both a traveling show and Campbell’s book tour. It’s hit 17 cities so far.

And with the third season of “Ash Vs. Evil Dead” coming in February, Campbell has been working hard.

But it’s not like that’s anything new.

“You have to go to work to get it done,” he says. “I tell young actors, ‘You can’t get off that set until you get on it.’ You want to go home and have your cold beer? It ain’t gonna happen until after you finish your work. Let’s get out there. Let’s get after it. Let’s do it. I’m ready to go.”

Greenville Chorale concert to feature premiere of Dan Forrest’s latest composition ARIEL TURNER | STAFF

aturner@communityjournals.com

Members of the Greenville Chorale have spent the last several weeks experiencing something most musicians won’t in their lifetimes: working with a living composer on a piece of music written specifically for them.

“I show up as a living composer and people are like, ‘You’re still alive!’”

Greenville composer Dan Forrest jokes, acknowledging that most traditional choral music was written decades or centuries ago.

Forrest was commissioned by longtime local arts supporters Gordon and Sarah Herring in fall 2014 to compose a piece

Hearing breathing patterns, specific tempos, and volumes in person has allowed Forrest to rework certain passages and annotate the music appropriately for publication so his original intent is communicated. had heard his latest composition sung by live voices, and it became clear some changes were in order.

“That’s the beauty of it,” Forrest says.

“If you’re working with a new piece and living composer, you can make those adjustments. The choir can observe music taking shape before their eyes.”

of music for the Chorale. The result is “LUX: the dawn from on high,” which the Greenville Chorale and Greenville Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Bingham Vick Jr., will perform on Oct. 28.

The Greenville Chorale’s Vick says it’s a “distinct honor and privilege to do the world premiere — the first performance — of any work.” He adds, “Those opportunities don’t come around very often.”

After the Chorale first performed Forrest’s “Requiem for the Living” in fall 2014, the Herrings were inspired to commission the composer for his “next great choral-orchestral masterwork.” The upcoming concert will also feature “Requiem for the Living.”

Rehearsals with the Chorale and Forrest at the piano began Sept. 4. Those initial sessions were the first time Forrest

Vick says the rehearsals have been invaluable from his standpoint as conductor, working to communicate the composer’s ideas, and for Forrest, being able to fine-tune his composition.

“He had the advantage of having us as the laboratory,” Vick says. “Composers can’t put every thing on the printed page.”

Hearing breathing patterns, specific tempos, and volumes in person has allowed Forrest to rework certain passages and annotate the music appropriately for publication so his original intent is communicated.

“I can be fussy, and we can get it right,” Forrest says. “It’s good to help the choir realize music is not just these black notes that are sacrosanct.”

The first joint rehearsal with the or-

chestra will take place Friday night before the Saturday performance, which won’t allow for full-scale revisions as Forrest hears the orchestration in its complete form for the first time. He plans to work with Vick on the minor adjustments he can make.

Another unique opportunity represented by “LUX” is the rarity of a living composer working with a living lyricist.

In this case, Forrest came across a poem, “The Gift,” by Daniel Ladinsky that was penned in 1999, and Forrest chose to use it for the third section of the choral work. It reads, “Even / After / All this time / The sun never says to the earth, / “You owe / Me.” / Look / What happens / With a love like that, / It lights the / Whole / Sky.” “He modeled this poem after Hafiz, the ancient mystic Persian poet,” Forrest says. “It’s a stunning poem, in its simplicity, and really becomes the keystone of my whole work.”

PUMPKIN SPICE & EVERYTHING NICE WORDS BY ARIEL TURNER | PHOTO BY WILL CROOKS

Forget what the haters have to say… we still love pumpkin spice lattes

The Village Grind’s Pumpkin Pie Latte

A week after the New York Times ran an op-ed titled “Will Pumpkin Spice Destroy Us All?” we offer a rebuttal of sorts, at least when it comes to fall’s signature seasonal coffee – the pumpkin spice latte. Here’s an unapologetic shout out to the many PSLs around town.

Real Pumpkin

For beverages that include actual pumpkin – something the Starbucks version didn’t until 2015 – these are your go-to spots and the ingredients that make their drinks unique.

The Chocolate Moose Bakery & Café Pumpkin Spice Latte: house-made pumpkin sauce with cinnamon

Grateful Brew Pumpkin Spice Latte: house-made syrup with pumpkin puree and spices

Kuka Juice Pump’d Up: pumpkin, sprouted almonds, organic coffee, medjool dates, H2O, coconut oil, hemp seeds, pumpkin spice, Himalayan salt Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice: heirloom pumpkin, carrot, apple, pumpkin spice, ginger

Southern Pressed Juicery

Caviar & Bananas

Pumpkin Spiked: pumpkin, apple, ginger, chia seed, cardamom Pumpkin Pie Mylk: pumpkin, almond, dates, H2O, agave, cinnamon, vanilla extract, gray sea salt The Great Pumpkin smoothie: pumpkin, cold brew coffee, almond mylk, almond butter, allspice, maca, vanilla extract, dates, banana

Pumpkin Fluff Latte: toasted hazelnut and pumpkin syrups with marshmallow fluff

All three drinks are bottled and served cold.

Swamp Rabbit Café

Liquid Highway White Chocolate Caramel Pumpkin Latte: white chocolate, caramel and pumpkin syrups, whipped cream

Tandem Creperie and Coffeehouse

O-CHA Tea Bar

Pumpkin Pie Latte: house-made syrup with pumpkin, spices, and sweetened condensed milk

Pumpkin Spice Latea: brewed pumpkin spice black tea with steamed milk

The Village Grind

Not Pumpkin

Pumpkin Pie Latte: pumpkin puree with brown sugar syrup

Pumpkin With a Twist

Plain ol’ pumpkin spice wasn’t good enough for these guys, so they amped up the flavors a bit.

Bex Café & Juice Bar

Methodical Coffee

Pumpkin Chai: chai tea latte with shot of espresso and Monin pumpkin spice syrup White Chocolate Pumpkin Spice: white hot chocolate with Monin pumpkin spice syrup

36 | GREENVILLE JOURNAL | 10.27.2017

Caramel Pumpkin Spice Latte: house-made caramel and pumpkin spice syrups and a drizzle of caramel spice on top of whipped cream

Pumpkin Spice Latte: organic pumpkin puree with organic spices

Both drinks are bottled and served cold.

Spiced Honey Latte: honey syrup mulled with spices, pumpkin puree whisked in, Apple Jacks garnish

Crepe du Jour

Maybe PSL is not your thing, but fall flavors are. These two specialty coffee shops went all-in for fall, minus the orange gourd.

Due South Coffee Roasters Frozen Lake: chai spices, steamed cold brew and milk, and crème brulée top

Barista Alley The Spinning Jenny: organic orange oil, house-made mocha, and gingerbread spice syrups GREENVILLEJOURNAL.COM

TIME SERVED ‘Les Misérables’ is just as relevant today as it was when Victor Hugo put pen to page CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

It’s easy to hate Javert, the dogged police inspector who is in eternal pursuit of fugitive Jean Valjean in the musical “Les Misérables.”

“I don’t think he’s the villain,” says Josh Davis, who plays the unbending detective in the national touring production of “Les Misérables” that will be in Greenville for an eight-show run at the Peace Center beginning Tuesday. “His belief system is the villain.”

Based on the novel by Victor Hugo, “Les Misérables” tells the story of Jean Valjean, a convict released from a French prison after serving 19 years for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his sister’s starving child and for subsequent escape attempts. After his release, he breaks his parole and is pursued by Inspector Javert, a man whose view of justice excludes mercy.

Davis says there are three distinct belief systems in the musical. Valjean believes a man can do something wrong, change his ways, and turn his life around. Thenardier, the innkeeper and secondary male antagonist, believes it’s every man for himself.

“To him, it’s all about survival,” Davis notes.

Then there’s Javert, who believes a person is the product of all the decisions they’ve made and if that person has made bad decisions, they are a bad person, Davis says.

“I think Javert truly believes he’s trying to rid society of a bad person,” Davis says.

“He’s a person of strong convictions. To him, there’s right and there’s wrong and no in between. And that didn’t turn out so well for him.”

Davis, who is playing Javert for the fourth time, says the story still speaks to society even though Hugo wrote the book in the 1860s.

“It’s even more relevant now than in the 1980s (when the musical premiered in Paris). Unfortunately, it’s timeless,” Davis adds. “One of the amazing things about art and theater is that it holds a mirror up to society and people’s belief systems.

I hope, even if it’s on a sub-perceptional level, that people leave a little changed for the better.”

This production reflects the staging and re-imagined scenery of the most recent

Broadway production. “Victor Hugo was a painter and his own drawings were used to paint pictures for the backdrops,” Davis says.

Davis keeps coming back to “Les Misérables” because he loves the music.

“Personally, it works well for my voice,” he says. He returns to Javert because the character is fun to play. “Javert has such a strong arch. It’s a fun role to do.”

Over the course of his career, Davis played Nick and Bill Medley for three years in the Broadway production of “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical,” as well as appeared in television and film, including “Law & Order” and a number of soap operas, “Guiding Light,” “All My Children,” and “As the World Turns.”

But “Les Misérables” is a special production to Davis.

“It was the first show I ever saw when I was in high school and it blew me away,” he says. “It’s a story to which everybody can relate. It’s an epic story of love, forgiveness, and redemption.”

Gotjokes Halloween Comedy Show Featuring Kenneth E. Hughes, Jas Gill, Justin Hartman, Brandon Rainwater, Andrew Yan, Justin Blackburn, and Christian Winkler When Justin Blackburn, one of the comedians performing youtube.com/watch?v=Et15s3Jv3rM at Gottrocks’ Gotjokes Comedy show, initially started doing jokes on the mic, it was between bands at the now-closed Greenville club Reverb. “I booked bands there, and between the bands I would do jokes, and I thought maybe I should just make my own comedy show,” he says. “So I wrote my own material, and it was really bad. I only got a couple of laughs.” At first, some of that was intentional; Blackburn was purposely trying to make his audience uncomfortable.

“I wanted to bomb,” he says. “I was coming at it from an anti-humor perspective. I would be weird onstage, and people didn’t know if I was joking sometimes. But then nobody would book me because I was ruining the atmosphere on shows, and I realized I’d have to start writing jokes that made people laugh.” The now deliberately funny Blackburn says that he prefers the informal setting of a music venue Justin like Gottrocks over a typical comedy club. “Comedy clubs Blackburn can be sterile,” he says. “In a more laid-back environment, the audience is usually more open and friendly. Then you can put these deeper truths into what you’re saying.” –Vincent Harris

MAIN STAGE PLAY PRESENTED BY

The Travelin’ McCourys are an outgrowth of one of the best and most popular bluegrass bands in America, The Del McCoury Band.

About seven years ago, as Del was entering his 70s, the legendary singer, guitarist, and bandleader began thinking about his band and their future. “He wanted us to be prepared so we wouldn’t have a cold start if something happened to him,” says Del’s son, singer, mandolin wizard, and the Travelin’ McCourys bandleader Ronnie. “So he pushed us out of the nest.” The plan was for Del to cut down drastically on his touring schedule and let the new group, which featured four of the five members of his band, plus guitarist Cody Kilby, carry on the tradition. There was just one problem with that plan. “Dad never really slowed down that much,” Ronnie says with a laugh. “It’s been awhile now, six or seven years, and now here we are still building something, and at the same time we still get to be onstage for half the year with my dad.” As for the differences between Del’s group and the Travelin’ McCourys, Ronnie says it’s all about exploring the songs more. “We kind of open up and jam out a little bit,” he says. “It keeps us on our toes and scratches a different itch.” —Vincent Harris

Bad Internet presents /girlpower\, featuring April B. & The Cool, Yams Club, Joie, and Deltalys The Grove at Upcountry Provisions 6811 State Park Road, Travelers Rest | $10

Local rapper and promoter Brent Best’s (aka $amson) events company, Bad Internet, is ready to unveil his latest multi-act showcase, /girlpower\, a four-band show. The lineup will mix Joie’s haunting guitar-piano-vocals-and-electronics sound with April B’s soulful rock, Deltalys’ darkly ambient soundscapes, and the jazz-inflected indie rock of Atlanta’s Yams Club. Myra Hendley, singer for the hybrid rock-electronic band Joie, says she enjoys Best’s mixed-genre approach. “I was listening to the other bands on the show, and I think the diversity is a strength,” says Hendley. “It gives the show a festival vibe, and I like playing shows with different kinds of bands, because it spotlights what you do and what they do.”
