Many mortgage lenders require a large down payment to avoid Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI). We don’t.

Our adjustable rate mortgages do not require PMI unless you borrow more than 90% loan to value. That means you keep more of your money for moving, furnishing–whatever you need to make that house yours.

Talk to us about how you can save money with a competitive mortgage rate and lower down payment– whether you need an ARM or fixed rate, standard or jumbo.

Summer It’s time for bilingual education Container Refresh! by Martin Garden Center

It’s summer. You’ve been babying your precious porch containers or door baskets through the Upstate heat all season. Chances are you have gone on vacation and left someone else in charge of watering or just “chanced” it and return home to dead, wilted, and dying plants.

Have no fear, we’ll walk you through the refresh process.

1 2 3

Evaluate. Overwatered?

Underwatered? Which plants are totally gone and which ones could just use a strong deadheading? Also look at the leaves for insect damage.

Prune. Cut back plants that are looking withered or leggy. Prune back stems to the point of green growth or healthy looking material. This encourages bushier growth the rest of the season.

Replace. Let’s face it, sometimes these plants need a total re-do.

Carefully remove plant(s) leaving the remaining healthy plants in tact.

Would a new color give the container a fresh striking look? Pop in the new plant(s) and Voilà! - instant beauty!

You’re happier and your containers are happier! Water immediately.

Remember to use our thriller, filler, spiller recipe for the perfect container. If you’re not sure what that is, come in and ask.

We don’t keep secrets! Happy Planting!

Adding a new color to your container can transform it to look like a whole new creation!

Martin Garden Center

Tips & Tricks

• Introduce fresh potting soil in any

gaps that you find within your container. This gives your plants a new medium to extend their roots.

• Add some slow release fertilizer (we recommend Garden Cote by Fertilome) to feed your plants the necessary nutrients to finish the summer strong.

• Plants planted in the heat of summer tend to stress a bit more, so stay on your watering and keep a close eye on newly planted containers.

This year, more than 11,000 Hispanic youth were enrolled in Greenville public schools. Forty-eight percent come from homes that speak English “very well”; however, for a majority of our Hispanic students, Spanish remains the primary language spoken at home.

Professor Patricia Gándara of the University of California Los Angeles, an expert in Latinos in education and Englishlanguage learners, explained that if a child can improve his native tongue, it will be easier for that child to improve his second language. To be clearer, only 34.4 percent of Hispanics are immigrants, so U.S.-born Hispanics and immigrant Spanish-speakers need to work on different issues such as proficiency. Intuitively, we can say that English-language proficiency is vital to be successful within our community and our nation. That is why access to English as a Second Language instruction and bilingual programs and teachers is essential for nurturing the lives and career skills of the Spanish-dominant students who call Greenville home. Looking at a bilingual education more broadly, if more programs were created in Greenville County Schools, we could also expose the 64,000 other students to a multicultural education.

Bilingual teachers can better address classroom expectations and academic material. They can also benefit students’ parents and guardians by explaining in their native tongue how their children are doing in school and what they need to work on. The lack of bilingual teachers across our school system presents a barrier that negatively affects our Hispanic students’ chances of being successful both inside and outside the classroom.

Author Geoffrey Willans said, “You can never understand one language until you understand at least two.” Bilingualism has been shown in studies to improve cognitive skills and increase social awareness, as well as drive greater career success and higher salaries. Our students here in Greenville deserve every opportunity for success in a future that is more and more competitive and diverse, both locally and in the rest of the world. It is time for the public to realize and demand the benefits of bilingual education for our children.

According to the website for Greenville’s Blythe Academy, the school is “currently recognized as the only elementary school in the state that offers daily foreign language instruction to all of its students.” This is a bilingual magnet school

where children will have science and math taught in Spanish or French and social studies and language arts taught in English. Students who want to learn or improve their Spanish or English skills can learn from other students. Blythe Academy is a role model for what more schools in Greenville could offer.

One suggestion is to provide summer ESL classes for Spanish-dominant youth. This would ensure that they do not regress in their English-language capabilities.

“You can never understand one language until you understand at least two.” ­— Geoffrey Willans

By 2060, the Hispanic population in the United States is predicted to increase by 115 percent. Investment in bilingual educators and resources is essential not only for the growing Hispanic population but also for every child growing up in this new diverse world. The United States is known for being the land of opportunities. By providing more bilingual teachers and programs, we can give all of our youth the opportunities for a successful and prosperous life.

A PLACE TO CALL HOME As the number of homeless students in Greenville County soars, a new program is helping families find more stable housing WORDS BY CINDY LANDRUM | PHOTO BY WILL CROOKS

Torrey Hill and her two teenage sons recently moved into an affordable rental house owned by Homes of Hope after living in transitional housing.

A

local group is working to address a problem many people might not know exists — homelessness among students.

Last year, nearly 1,089 students in Greenville County Schools had no place to call home. Nine of them lived in places not meant for human habitation such as cars, parks, or abandoned buildings. Ninety lived in emergency shelters for the homeless.

Eight hundred twenty-two lived with friends or relatives because their families couldn’t afford a place of their own, and 168 stayed in hotels or motels, a number that has doubled since 2012.

The number of students categorized as homeless in the school district has increased 113 percent since 2012, and they attend 84 different schools.

Under the federal McKinney-Vento Home-

less Assistance Act, homeless students are defined as students who lack a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence.

Some partners in the Greenville Homeless Alliance are working on a pilot program that will target 10 families of students who are living in motels and have an eviction on their record, something that often stops them from getting into stable housing, said Susan McLarty, Greenville Homeless Alliance coordinator. The Second Chance program includes the Greenville Housing Authority, United Housing Connection, SHARE (Sunbelt Human Advancement Resources), the Greenville County Human Relations Commission, and United Ministries.

Families identified by the school district’s coordinator for the McKinney-Vento Education Program, named for the federal law that defines which students are

classified as homeless and mandates that public schools accommodate them, will go through an education program that teaches them how to be good tenants. They’ll get a certification, something organizers of the program hope will convince landlords to give them a second chance.

“These are people who are paying $225 to $450 dollars a week for a motel room,” said Davina Kavanaugh, a mental health counselor and volunteer with the Greenville Homeless Alliance.

Many got there because of life circumstances, she said.

“It’s not people who are just lazy or drug addicts or the stereotypical homeless person,” Kavanaugh said. “It’s people who don’t know how to budget, go through a divorce, have a health issue, are escaping domestic violence, or are living paycheck

to paycheck and have an unexpected expense such as a car breaking down.”

Never expected to be homeless Torey Hill never expected to be homeless.

She had a college degree and a full-time job.

Then her husband left after they separated last April. It took three months for her to fall behind on the rent on the apartment in which she and her three children lived. They were evicted. She was able to get another apartment, but within two months, the landlord started the eviction process again.

“When the second eviction was going on, my oldest son was really angry and frustrated. He wondered how it could happen to us when I worked. He thought nobody cared about our situation and wondered how we were going to get out of it,” Hill said.

“Frankly, I was asking the same questions.”

08.03.2018 | GREENVILLE JOURNAL | 9

COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM Hill sought help from United Ministries in October, and she and her two teenage sons spent two weeks staying in churches in the county before getting a place in a transitional home, and an assigned social worker and financial adviser.

In June, she and her sons moved into an affordable rental house owned by Homes of Hope. Her oldest daughter had moved out of state.

“The most frustrating part of the whole thing was that it happened in the first place,” Hill said. “But now, we’re in a good situation. Everybody is calmer. Everybody is at peace. I can tell they [her sons] feel more stable. Even when we were in transitional housing, there was always the wonder in the back of their minds when are they going to tell us we can’t live here anymore.”

Katie Preuss knows of a single mother and her three daughters who "lived" in a 24-hour McDonald's. Preuss, associate director of the Interfaith Hospitality Network at United Ministries, the church program Hill and her sons utilized, said the woman now has a fulltime job, child care, and her own apartment.

Larger numbers of homeless students were enrolled in early elementary grades than in later grades.

In South Carolina, the numbers increased steadily from 2012-2013 to 20152016. But the number decreased in 2017, falling from 14,360 in 2016 to 12,018, or 1.9 percent of enrolled students.

Doubled up (822)

Matt Orr, public information officer with the South Carolina Department of Education, said those numbers are lower than what is predicted by the level of poverty in the state. He said the rule of thumb is that 10 percent of people living in poverty will experience homelessness at some point during the year. According to U.S. Census data, 18.5 percent of S.C. resi-

dents under 18 years old live in poverty.

In Greenville County, homeless students attend school all over the county, including in some of its wealthiest areas such as Bell's Crossing Elementary, Oakview Elementary, and Riverside High.

That shows the importance of increasing available affordable housing in both the city and the county, McLarty said.

New entrance. New reception. Same warm welcome.

There’s a big, beautiful expansion about to take shape. With more independent living options, more dining, more lounges, more activity rooms, and more ways to enjoy life than ever before.

ONE-WAYS AND STREET CLOSURES WOULD NO LONGER BE TRAFFIC-CALMING OPTIONS UNDER NEW RULES CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

Closing a street or making it one way would no longer be an option for Greenville residents who want to slow traffic on the streets in their neighborhoods under a new traffic-calming process being discussed by Greenville City Council.

The changes come on the heels of a contentious battle over whether a barricade that turned one block of McPherson Lane into a one-way street should be made permanent. The City Council ultimately decided to keep the barricade that prevents motorists from using McPherson, a small residential street, to escape from or avoid the traffic gridlock on Augusta Street.

The city’s traffic-calming process has been in place since 1999, and dozens of neighborhoods have voted in favor of installing items such as speed humps, curb extensions, and chicanes. None was as controversial as McPherson, City Councilwoman Amy Ryberg Doyle said.

access or circulation, increasing the wait time for neighborhoods to initiate the traffic-calming purpose from three years to five, and including a process for removal of a device that has been previously voted in by residents.

Murphy told City Council they should consider having the planning commission approve the study area and engineering assessments.

Currently, a neighborhood must submit a petition with 50 percent of the households in a study area determined by the city’s traffic engineering department. A neighborhood study team is formed and traffic engineering researches traffic patterns.

Together, they develop a traffic-calming plan. The plan can include multiple items.

Seventy percent of households in the study area must vote yes for the items to pass. Diverters, textured pavements, chicanes, lane reductions, and street closures require City Council approval.

Councilmembers are expected to consider the new rules around the end of August.

WHAT DOES THE CITY HAVE PLANNED AT 55 CAMPERDOWN? THIS COULD BE IT CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

After a developer proposed an office building on a piece of property along the banks of the Reedy River at the edge of Falls Park, the city bought the property so it would not be developed at all.

Now, there’s a preliminary landscaping concept plan for the property, which is designed to improve connectivity between South Main Street and the river.

The concept plan, done by Beau Welling Design, covers the river’s east bank — defined as Japanese Dogwood Lane, the road that borders Camperdown, Centennial American Properties’ redevelopment of the block of South Main Street across from the Peace Center, down to the Bowater building.

The plan covers 0.6 acres and is estimated to cost approximately $600,000, said Edward Kinney, the city’s senior landscape architect.

The city bought the parcel at 55 Camperdown Way for $4 million. The Carolina Foothills Garden Club donated $900,000 through its Falls Park Endowment to help defray the cost of purchasing the land in exchange for a conservation easement being permanently placed on the land. Upstate Forever was named the grantee of the conservation easement.

Under the easement, the city cannot remove trees and future plantings must be native, Kinney said. The easement also contains a cap of 30 percent impervious surfaces, he said.

A letter of intent approved by the City Council last year calls for Centennial to construct the public improvements on the 55 Camperdown plaza. Through a synthetic tax increment financing district, the city will reimburse the company for the cost of those improvements over 25 years with payments based on the increased property taxes generated by the $200 million Camperdown development.

Friends of the Red Cross also pledged $250,000 to help the city pay for the land purchase. The concept plan includes a spot for a sculpture

commemorating the Red Cross’ centennial and service to Greenville.

Kinney said a sculpture honoring former South Carolina Gov. and U.S. Education Secretary Dick Riley could also be located in the river’s east bank area.

Kinney said work on the landscape plan likely will be done in conjunction with the rest of the Camperdown streetscape work.

NEW PLAN ADDRESSES FUTURE MOTEL CLOSINGS CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

The next time a motel is condemned in Greenville, local government and nonprofit organizations have a plan to help residents who abruptly find themselves without a place to live.

When the Economy Inn off Augusta Road in Greenville County was condemned in January, more than 100 people were left scrambling to find a place to go.

Some ended up sleeping on cots at a local church for as long as three weeks.

Prevention of condemnations is the first goal, according to the “motel displacement response plan” developed by representatives of nonprofits, governments, and churches. The effort was led by the Greenville Housing Alliance. The plan calls for local governments to support motel owners and property managers in making repairs to keep their properties from being condemned, including providing time for them to make repairs and de-

termining whether financial resources are available to support repairs.

The plan said local nonprofit organizations will work “to help people living in precarious housing find sustainable permanent housing."

When a closure is expected to occur, local churches and shelters will work to find temporary beds for displaced residents, and organizations will provide services such as transportation, job training and placement, and a link to more-permanent housing, the plan said. The organizations expect to provide assistance for up to two weeks but said a few families may need additional assistance.

Greenville Homeless Alliance Coordinator Susan McLarty said 12 motels in the Pleasantburg Drive, Mauldin Road, and Augusta Road areas are being used as long-term housing by low-income individuals and families.

Greenville County has an estimated 170,000 people living in or teetering on the edge of poverty, according to the plan.

EVADING THE SUMMER SLIDE OnTrack program helps Greenville students succeed

Seventh-graders Claudrez Thompson, Cammiekay Fitzsimmons, and Tony Mack built bikes at Berea Middle School’s OnTrack summer program. Will Crooks/Greenville Journal

ARIEL GILREATH | STAFF

agilreath@communityjournals.com

A local nonprofit is working to address a problem educators across the globe are familiar with when they start the school year — the summer slide.

Most school districts have summer programs for students who have failed or come close to failing a class during the year, but the United Way of Greenville County’s OnTrack program is working to take it one step further.

During the summer, the last thing on students’ mind is school, and by the start of school, it reflects in their academics.

Rather than picking up in the fall where they left off in the spring, teachers have found that students often decline in academic performance during the summer.

Educators have termed this fallback the “summer slide.”

OnTrack began in Greenville schools

in 2015 in partnership with Building Educated Leaders for Life, a national program and curriculum with the goal of improving student attendance and academic performance. Its free summer program takes middle school students at risk of falling behind academically and attempts to catch them up in the span of six weeks during the summer.

Studies show that high-performing students and students from affluent families don’t feel the effects of the summer slide as much as students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. Students whose families can afford to send them to camp and keep them engaged over the summer, for example, experience the slide less than those who stay at home.

A 2011 report from RAND Corp. titled “Making Summer Count” said that on average, students lose one month of learning during the summer. However, students can lose more or even make gains

during the summer, depending on their backgrounds.

Tobi Kinsell, director of OnTrack Greenville, said the program identifies middle school students who can benefit from the summer camp based on three early warning signs — chronic absenteeism, behavior problems, and low academic achievement.

“The reason those are the indicators is that research has proven that if you are chronically absent, have a high number of behavior referrals, or are failing math and English in middle school, you only have a 20 percent chance of graduating,” Kinsell said.

For students who show more than one warning sign, the odds of graduating high school are lower.

“OnTrack teams talk about the data and the students to determine why they’re off track and determine the root cause, and then we wrap interventions around students to help support them getting back

on track,” Kinsell said.

According to BELL’s 2017 report, students in the summer program gained two months in math and two months in literacy proficiency rather than sliding back.

On top of the academic gains, students have said they look forward to coming to the summer program to see their new friends.

Steven Sokohl is assistant principal at Berea Middle School — one of the three middle schools in the Greenville County School District to have the OnTrack/BELL summer program. Students at Tanglewood and Lakeview middle schools are also participating in the summer camp.

Sokohl said that for the first half of the day, students complete their BELL curriculum. The second half of the day is devoted to activities, from attending Greenville Drive games to learning about robotics.

“I had one kid that was getting in trouble here at BELL, and he had never been

08.03.2018 | GREENVILLE JOURNAL | 17

COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM to a Greenville Drive game. So he came to us at my office and basically said, ‘I’m staying out of trouble because I want to be able to go to a Drive game,’” Sokohl said.

Sharif Abdulbarr had never successfully ridden a bike before this summer.

The soon-to-be seventh-grader tried when she was younger but stopped when

“There was a woman and she was here to help me ride it, and then I caught on by myself,” Sharif said.

This is Sharif’s second year coming to the camp, which she said made her feel more at home when she was a rising sixthgrader.

Berea Middle School Principal Corey Collington said the program relieves some stress off not only rising middle school students but also their parents.

“Sixth grade is that transition year, and you always worry about sixth grade and ninth grade,” Collington said. “But having them here, –Corey Collington, Berea Middle School principal it helps with the comfort level with our parents and our students.”

Maddie Fields, who is also each attempt ended in a fall. a rising seventh-grader, said the summer This summer, Sharif not only learned to camp helped her a lot last year when she ride a bike on the Greenville Health Sys- was nervous about starting middle school, tem Swamp Rabbit Trail, she also built and it reflected on her report card. her own mountain bike with other Berea “I had all A’s and B’s every quarter and Middle students. got on the A/B honor roll at the end of the OnTrack partnered with Village Wrench year,” Maddie said. “As long as you know to provide the parts and instruction so each the teachers and you’re on their good side, student could build a bike to take home. you’re going to be better and get used to it.”

TIME NAMES GREENVILLE MAYOR KNOX WHITE ONE OF 31 PEOPLE CHANGING THE SOUTH

Crossword puzzle: page 42

Sudoku puzzle: page 42

Time magazine has named Greenville Mayor Knox White one of 31 people who is changing the South.

White, who has served as mayor for 23 years, was honored for playing a role in the revitalization of downtown Greenville.

The article pointed out the city’s connections to textiles and said the city was saved by a far-sighted decision to diversify its industrial base, landing GE, Michelin, and BMW. “When White was elected mayor in 1995, the city had the money and planning acumen to build an urban center where people actually live, complete with retail, restaurants, and trails beside a reclaimed Reedy,” the article said.

The article concluded with the city’s plans for Unity Park, a 60-acre park that is being built on land west of downtown that had once held two separate, segregated parks.

Others making Time’s list include Demario Davis, a linebacker for the New Orleans Saints; Danica Roem, the first openly transgender person ever to serve in a state legislature; Paula Wallace, president and cofounder of Savannah College of Art and Design; Meherwan Irani, a chef with restaurants in North Carolina and Georgia; and Christy Coleman, CEO of the American Civil War Museum. –Cindy Landrum Knox White has been Greenville's mayor for 23 years.

Greenville school district implements clear-bag policy at athletic events

We always let you know who will be there when you open the door!

4

Spectators won’t be allowed in any Greenville County School District athletic events with a bag in tow unless it’s transparent, the district announced Thursday morning.

The banned bags include camera cases, briefcases, backpacks, cinch bags, and large purses. The only opaque bags allowed will be small clutch purses, according to the announcement.

Any items brought into an athletic event that need to be carried in a bag must be in a 1-gallon-sized zip-close bag, or a 12-inch by 6-inch by 12-inch clear bag.

The district said spectators will be allowed to carry items in, such as blankets and folding chairs, but they will be subject to a search.

The ban comes after tightened security at school districts across the country as parents and students have increasingly publicly questioned school safety in the wake of a mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Fla. But the announcement said the ban wasn’t a direct result of a specific event.

“The policy is similar to those already in place at university stadiums and local arenas. The policy is not a response to any specific event or concern,” the announcement said. “We are continually evaluating security measures in our school buildings and taking steps to 4 ensure public safety at our after-school events.” –Ariel Gilreath

SENIOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Brothers who hadn’t seen each other in seven years were reunited on the baseball diamond during the Senior League Baseball World Series that recently concluded at the J.B. “Red” Owens Baseball Complex in Easley.

During a team practice, Saipan’s Justin Celis realized he was throwing pitches to an unknown catcher. The mystery player turned out to be Justin’s older brother Ton, who hadn’t seen Justin in the seven years since he moved to Washington state. When he learned that Justin would be among the players making the 54-hour journey to the SLBWS, Ton began making plans for the surprise reunion.

Renovations to begin for Greer Branch Library Renovations will begin in late August on The Jean M. Smith Branch of the Greenville County Library System at 505 Pennsylvania Ave., Greer. The library is adding 5,500 square feet and updating the building. When finished, the branch will include an expanded children’s area (double the current size), a dedicated space for teenagers, an enlarged community meeting room that seats 120, two new four-person conference rooms, enclosed quiet space for reading and studying, interior updates, drive-up materials returns, a family restroom, a nursing room, and additional parking.

The project budget is almost $5 million, which is funded by the library system’s accumulated capital fund reserves with no bond issue necessary. There will also be engraved pavers available for purchase to further support the project.

The branch closed Monday, July 30, and will reopen in fall 2019. During the closure, the public is invited to use the Burdette Branch at 316 W. Main St. in Taylors or any of the 10 other Greenville County Library System locations.

Also, beginning Aug. 13, the Bookmobile will be available from 1:45-4:30 p.m. every other Monday in the parking lot of the Greer First Baptist Church, 201 W. Poinsett St. Materials borrowed from the Jean M. Smith Branch in Greer may be returned to the Bookmobile or any Greenville County Library System location.

Beds for the Modern Dog South Carolina furniture maker believes in good design for all words by Anne Wolfe Postic Josh Cox opens the door of his workshop with the wideopen smile of a man who loves what he does. His workshop, home to Bricker & Bark (and its sister company Bricker & Beam), is located in the growing community of artists, restaurateurs, and eclectic businesses of West Columbia.

The large shop is filled with works in progress, experiments with new materials and the delicious smell of fresh wood. Cox makes heirloom-quality furniture, defined by expert craftsmanship, a clean aesthetic and the warmth of natural materials. In one corner, a stack of dog beds handcrafted from sustainably sourced local hardwood await delivery to homes where beloved dogs enjoy the same luxuries as their human families.

Cox learned woodworking techniques as a child, working alongside his grandfather on his Ohio farm, where he visited several times a year.

“As we neared the farm, we passed what we came to call ‘Bricker Hill,’ the last hill before we arrived and the point at which our excitement for adventure started. It’s that anticipation and excitement to explore and create that inspired our name,” Cox says. That taste for adventure still drives Cox to conceive and design new pieces for humans and canines alike.

As he grew older, furniture making became a convenient hobby, a way for Cox to have the high-quality, modern furniture he preferred. When he and his wife were in search of a coffee table, he realized he could simply make it himself; so he did. That coffee table garnered interest from

friends and Cox found himself cutting out earlier and earlier from his bartending job to finish custom projects.

“The business kept snowballing and I realized it was time to make furniture full-time,” he said.

Bricker & Beam was born.

When a lovable labradoodle named Coltrane joined the family, dog beds to suit a modern aesthetic were in short supply — nonexistent, really. Cox felt that familiar excitement and went to the workshop to build something beautiful.

“My goal is to create furniture that blends contemporary, clean lines with the warmth of natural materials,” Cox says.

And, furniture for dogs should be no exception, he said: After all, canine companions can’t articulate their own style, so they need guidance.

Bricker & Bark beds are built for dogs whose homes reflect their owners’ tastes. They come in two styles: the Winston, a platform style, rests on hand-turned mid-century legs; the Frye has raised edges on three sides. Both beds come with foam cushions, covered in removable, waterproof canvas or premium faux leather. Where overstuffed, garishly colored dog beds are a jarring interruption in the home, Bricker & Bark beds add warmth and style to any room.

“Building furniture isn’t just a business for us, but a passion,” Cox says. His passion for design, heirloom-quality work and natural materials shows in every piece.

LONG-TABLE DINNERS The art of unmatched entertaining

words by Stephanie Burnette | photography by Blenco & Co. Dining in the garden has never been more inspiring. Invite a crowd, small or large, over for a long-table supper in the waning light of summer evenings. A family-style meal is the way to accomplish a gathering where you can enjoy the al fresco experience as much as guests.

We tapped the expertise of Milton’s Cuisine and Cocktails, whose garden suppers are feted events at their 155-year-old farmhouse and biodynamic micro-farm called Milton’s Acre, in northeast Georgia. Chef Derek Dollar and his team — including farm manager Peter Kohm — grow 90 varieties of heirloom vegetables, fruits, and herbs to supply the restaurant’s menus and cocktails, garden suppers, and private events.

Start with an appetizer that can be picked up and carried around as well as a batched cocktail. Milton’s Acre suggests a duo of cucumber, quite the clever pairing: chilled tomato cucumber gazpacho matched with a cucumber basil sparkler made with Effen cucumber vodka. A batched cocktail is a smart starter, sitting ready by the pitcher-full with glasses aplenty. Gazpacho can be pre-ladled into lidded jars with self-serve spoons.

Set the table for face-to-face seating with low, spaced-out arrangements, keeping room for communal dishes. Consider common vessels for twinkling votive candles. They can hold a candle alone or be nestled with organic ingredients like grits, dried beans, seashells or pebble.

The trick to the long-table-dinner look is to use the same size rectangular folding tables butted end to end. These tables are narrow and uniform and look apt with simple white tablecloths and a runner of herbs or garden greenery, possible sprinkled with battery-powered fairy lights.

Chairs can be a menagerie of what you have or can borrow. It works well if all the chairs are armless and nearly the same seat height. Avoid placing chairs at the

ends of your table since these banquetstyle tables tend to be narrower than a traditional dining setup.

Plates and flatware can vary immensely, though consider odd sets of twos or threes alternating by seat. Matching napkins, whether cloth or paper, can be uniform and

simple. The show-stopper of the evening is the natural beauty of eating in a garden as well as the dishes served on the plate.

Opt for a simple, beautiful protein served with two sides, one warm and one cold. This time of year Dollar likes the airline cut of chicken (it’s the breast with the wing drumette still attached) alongside tomato corn basil spoonbread and a shaved vegetable salad dressed with white balsamic vinaigrette.

For dessert, think cobbler self-scooped into bowls. Crème fresh or whipped cream is more easily passed than ice cream and don’t forget to keep pitchers of still water on the table, too.

If you plan to set up your dinner around raised beds or garden boxes, think about purchasing low-cost solar lights to pepper into these spaces. As the sun drops below the horizon their ambient lights will add to the festivities. And, if you don’t want to spray this area of your yard for mosquitos, employ torches filled with citronella oil to keep everyone bite free.

NEW INSTITUTE BLENDS FOUNDATIONAL ART EDUCATION, PRACTICAL CAREER HELP

Founders Michelle Radford (lead instructor), Brannon McAllister (president), and Ian Crook (CFO) combined forces to open a creative and practical art institute for growing artists in Greenville. Will Crooks/Greenville Journal MELODY WRIGHT | CONTRIBUTOR

mwright@communityjournals.com

A new institute in the Village of West Greenville combines art and vocation for a holistic approach to growth for young or aspiring local artists.

From foundational art classes and portfolio preparation to career tips and hosted discussions, Leaf Institute of Art & Vocation exists as a flexible space for up-andcoming artists.

Co-founder Brannon McAllister, who has years of artistic experience in design, animation, and illustration, says the institute will have seating for about 100 people, a small collapsible stage, and easels. The 501(c)(3) nonprofit art-education pilot program is at 1278 Pendleton St., where Atlas Local Commons serves as the anchor tenant.

“I think our main goal now is to create art-education classes that reach high school level,” McAllister says. “There’s a lot of gifted people who are already super interested in either becoming artists or exploring that [who] may not have the art education access they’d like.”

Currently, Leaf Institute offers basic painting and drawing instruction, with plans to expand to printmaking and other

classes. “So what we want to do is have very foundational art training combined with very practical career help to get people started as artists,” McAllister says.

While the art institute has a Christian faith-based perspective on art, Leaf Institute welcomes everyone in the neighborhood from all backgrounds to enroll for classes and register for events.

“We felt like we’d like to have an organization that talked about the intersection of faith and work,” he says. Discussions such as these would include various professionals coming to speak on business, art, and faith.

Trained educators and professional local artists will instruct the students, and students will have access to the online education platform Pathwright for assignments, class discussions, and supplemental resources.

The modular course structure allows for students to pay for a single class and reach a specific category of skill. While high-school students are the focus, adults may also enroll.

The classes may be used supplementally in partnership with an accredited secondary or vocational school, or to extend education for working professionals.

Co-founder Michelle Radford, who has been teaching art in higher education for 10 years at Bob Jones University, says the classes are developed to equip students with the necessary skills for artistic and professional growth.

“We really do want to reach students

that are really serious about art,” Radford says. “It’s not merely recreational art classes. It should be fun, but we want to reach people that are trying to push themselves in their technique.”

As for the name of the institute, McAllister and Radford named Leaf Institute for J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Leaf by Niggle.” The short story tells of struggling artist Niggle, whose lifework centers on painting one little leaf.

“In the afterlife, he finds out that [the leaf] was actually on a large tree in the middle of a massive forest,” McAllister says. “So, he finds out that this one thing that he was doing that seemed so insignificant was actually part of something much greater.”

For McAllister and Radford, the story serves as a metaphor for their “passion projects” or their “creative callings.”

“It gives a picture of [how] we are really committed to education in the arts, but also we want to have a really fruitful discussion with the community about creativity,” Radford says.

Monthly dinners, rotating gallery shows, and an annual conference will also be hosted by Leaf Institute. Local illustration artist Chris Koelle is the first of several professionals scheduled to hold a show in the space in September.

MARK HARTWELL JONES’ HOODOO MUSIC PODCAST HIGHLIGHTS LOCAL SCENE VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER

vharris@communityjournals.com

Like many people in the Upstate, Mark Hartwell Jones has loved music all his life.

His mother and grandfather played guitar, and Jones took it up himself, along with the trumpet, when he was in middle school.

He formed a band when he was in college, which he remembers as “terrible,” and he grew to love going to small-venue shows around Greenville far better than crowded arenas where he felt lost in a sea of people.

“I’d rather go to a small show, in a bar or a basement in someone’s house, than a stadium,” he says. “It’s more intimate; I have more direct contact with the music.”

But as time went on and Jones got older, he felt less and less connected to the local music scene and, like many people in Greenville, simply woke up one day and realized he’d lost touch with what was going on in local music.

“I looked around and it didn’t seem like there was much of a local scene, and if there was, I didn’t know where it was,” he says.

“I’d been out of it for so long at that point.”

That might be a bit of an exaggeration because Jones was a skilled recording engineer who’d worked with musicians around town, most notably the remarkably talented acoustic guitarist Jacob Johnson. In fact, it was during a conversation with Johnson in 2016 that he first articulated the idea that would lead to the local-music-centric podcast that Jones hosts, engineers, and produces, called The Hoodoo Music Podcast.

“I was at Jacob’s house and we were talking, and I had this idea that I wanted to try to create a project where I would record a band for cheap or for free and then put that out for the sake of exposing people to new music,” he says. “I wanted to find out more about what was out there and offer a way to promote it. I felt that if I didn’t know about it what was going on locally, there must be a lot of people who weren’t as aware as they could be about the music scene.”

Johnson’s response was simple: Why not start right now?

Johnson offered to be Jones’ first guest, and The Hoodoo Music Podcast was born.

Over the past two years, Jones has produced 47 episodes of the podcast, doing

Introducing The Flower Bar at Roots

Farm Fresh Flowers from our Own Local Farm!

one roughly every two weeks. A typical episode mixes interviews and performances, and along with Johnson, the series has featured solo artists like Alex Hunnicutt, J.S. Terry, and Thomas Levine and bands like Wasted Wine, Brother Oliver, The Apartment Club, Italo & The Passions, and Horrible Girl & The Hot Mess, whose new album Jones is engineering.

“There are some great bands that have surprised me, and I just want to provide a resource for people to discover new music.”

–Mark Hartwell Jones

“It’s not just an avenue to use my skills at recording and mixing, but it’s also a way to offer somebody a way to promote themselves for free,” Jones says. “It seems like when I was younger there were more ways for people to find out about bands; I remember seeing flyers all over the place. Hopefully, with the podcast, people will come looking for one band and find somebody else, and it becomes this cross-promotional effort.”

As Jones has progressed through the episodes (he says that initially, he felt like he’d be lucky if he made it to 20 episodes), he’s become more connected to local music again, and he says he sees a newly vibrant music scene around the Upstate, even if that’s just his perception.

“It seems like there’s a wave of local music that wasn’t there before,” he says, citing bands like Tom Angst, Daddy’s Beemer, and Apricot Blush as particular favorites. “Maybe it’s just because I’m noticing it now, but it does seem like there’s been a resurgence. There are some great bands that have surprised me, and I just want to provide a resource for people to discover new music.”

The Hoodoo Music Podcast is available through Apple Music, Google Play, and YouTube.

SISTER HAZEL PLANS TO RELEASE 4 EPS BACK-TO-BACK IN NEW ‘ELEMENTS’ PROJECT VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER

vharris@communityjournals.com

Doing any job for 25 years is pretty impressive; maintaining a successful band in a fickle music industry for that long is nearmiraculous. But that’s what the Gainesville, Florida, quintet Sister Hazel has managed to do. Long after the appealingly rootsy acoustic-electric rock of its biggest hit single, 1997’s “All for You,” drove its album “… Somewhat More Familiar” to platinum status, Sister Hazel has kept on keepin’ on, touring successfully around the world and holding onto a large fanbase long after its late-’90s contemporaries have faded.

The band has even managed to flourish as an independent act without a major label, releasing albums on its own Croakin’ Poets label and making waves on the country charts with its newest EP, “Water,” without significantly changing its sound to fit a format. It’s a rare band that can say it’s just scored a top-10 hit more than two decades into its career, but that’s

Sister Hazel has kept the momentum going ever since their biggest hit single, 1997’s “All For You,” drove its album “... Somewhat More Familiar” to platinum status over two decades ago. Photo provided

what Sister Hazel did when “Water” was released in February.

And the band has continued to challenge itself creatively rather than regurgitating the same old hits every night. “Water” is the first

step in an ambitious, conceptual plan.

“We’re planning on putting out four EPs back-to-back as a larger project called ‘Elements’,” says Ryan Newell, Sister Hazel’s lead guitarist. “The first one was called ‘Water.’ The next one [which will be released in September] is ‘Wind.’ It’s something we’ve never done before, which is rare when you’ve been in a band for 25 years.”

Newell adds that the ambitious EP plan is an outgrowth of the band’s desire to get more music out more often. “Instead of doing a big record every three years, we just decided to put out the songs we were writing as often as possible. This seemed like the best way to do it,” he says.

“Water” actually hit the top 10 on the Billboard Country Album charts, which might come as a surprise to Sister Hazel fans who have never considered the band country at all. Newell says that the band has always defied easy genre classification and that the country-radio format has simply moved closer to Sister Hazel’s rootsyrock sound. Of course, if there is a little more twang in the band’s sound lately, its base of operations is in Nashville, Tennessee, now, so that might have helped.

“I don’t think we made a conscious shift,” Newell says. “Everything we’ve done still has the Sister Hazel sound. The main difference is that we started writing with writers in Nashville, and we record our albums there, and you can’t help but be influenced.

We’re still being true to ourselves, but the format we were lumped into for years has disappeared, and most of our listeners have kind of moved over to the country genre. If

you listen to country music nowadays, it’s what was on rock radio years ago.”

Regardless of which chart it’s on, a top10 release is still good news, and Newell says that Sister Hazel, which will perform at the Peace Center’s outdoor TD Stage on Friday, can still command those sales because it’s worked hard over the years to maintain a connection with fans.

“When we decided to start doing this on our own, we also decided to be as accessible as possible to our fans,” he says. “We’ve always wanted to do more than put out songs and go out on the road. We wanted the songs to become part of people’s lives.

Throughout the years, we’ve done different events like the Hazelnut Hang, where we get together with our fans at the beach and hang out for a long weekend. We’re very involved with our Lyrics for Life charity [which funds cancer research and patient care facilities], which our fans have really gravitated to. And there’s a really big online community that keeps in touch and makes plans to see shows. We try to be the soundtrack to all of these life experiences that they’re going through.”

MORE THAN A DECADE AFTER PERFORMANCES AT THE HANDLEBAR, SUGARLAND RETURNS TO GREENVILLE AT THE BON SECOURS WELLNESS ARENA VINCENT HARRIS | ARTS & CULTURE WRITER

vharris@communityjournals.com

Most of the time, it doesn’t really mean much to ask a band, especially one that’s sold as many albums as the country-music duo Sugarland, how it feels to be coming back to the Upstate. And that’s because these bands typically don’t really remember where they’ve played before or know where they’re playing next.

But we asked guitarist Kristian Bush, who along with singer Jennifer Nettles makes up the group that’s sold 14 million albums, scored five No. 1 singles, and won two Grammys, how it felt to be coming back to Greenville for a special reason. Before the platinum plaques, sellout tours, and awards ceremonies, Bush, Jennifer Nettles, and singer/songwriter Kristen Hall, the original founders of the band, played their first shows right here in

town in the early 2000s, at The Handlebar on Stone Avenue.

Before joining forces, the trio (Hall left the band in 2005) were solo singer-songwriters who didn’t seem to have a whole lot in common musically.

“I remember people looking at us onstage and maybe recognizing each of us from our solo shows,” Bush says, “but they looked completely confused as to why we were getting onstage together. I remember kind of looking at them like, ‘Hold tight, you’re about to see something cool,’ because it was cool for us, too.”

That first night, Bush says, was magic.

“It was the strangest thing; I’ve read about it or heard about it with other artists. They say, ‘Oh, the first time the band played together, it really lit the room up,’ and I was always sort of rolling my eyes at those stories, except that I’ve been through it!”

So how does it feel for Bush and Nettles to reunite for a tour after a four-year hiatus and head back to their old stomping grounds?

“Fantastic,” Bush says. “It’s like a victory lap, not just for us, but for everyone who was there when we started. I’m excited.”

There was no acrimony involved in the band’s hiatus; it was simply that, after 10 years and five albums, Nettles had some items to check off her bucket list.

“When we took our break, it was focused around the idea of her having a family,” Bush says. “She hadn’t done that yet, and I’d actually had a family the entire time I was in Sugarland. Then she decided to do a solo record [2014’s ‘That Girl’], and that made sense, because she’d been doing solo work before she was in Sugarland. So I think that career-wise, she started exploring things that she couldn’t do in Sugarland. That was fun to watch.”

And then one day, out of the blue, Nettles called Bush and asked if he was ready to fire up Sugarland again. There was just one problem: Bush had resumed his own solo career and begun producing other artists. He was swamped.

“I said, ‘I’m super busy now. I’m doing like nine things at the same time. But let’s see what happens from a writing perspective. If that’s not working, then maybe we shouldn’t

do anything,’” he says with a laugh. “The first song we wrote together was a song called ‘Still the Same,’ and I was like, ‘Oh, this is good. We need to go do this.’”

That’s right: It won’t be just a nostalgia show when Sugarland rolls into Bon Secours Wellness Arena on Saturday, though you’re sure to hear hits like “Baby Girl,” “Something More,” “Want To,” “Stay,” and “Already Gone.” They’ve got a new album in tow, called “Bigger.”

“Sugarland has always been about what we made together,” Bush says of the effort to make new music. “Otherwise, it wouldn’t have meant anything. I think our real intention was to just see what we could make, and if it sucks, maybe we ought to not do this. Let the art lead the commerce, not the other way around.”

PEACE CENTER'S CONCERT HALL SEATS REPLACED AFTER 28 YEARS MELODY WRIGHT | CONTRIBUTOR

mwright@communityjournals.com

Renovations are underway to the Peace Center’s Concert Hall, including replacement of the original 2,111 seats that have occupied the venue since 1990. The project is scheduled to be completed in early September.

The 28-year-old seats have accommodated patrons throughout thousands of performances. Greenville’s own KM Fabrics made upholstery for the original seats and is doing the same for the new seats.

“The Peace Center is here and successful because the people of Greenville have been supportive for so many years,” said Megan Riegel, Peace Center president and CEO. “We’re always looking for ways to improve the experience of our patrons, and this is the most recent step in that journey.”

The $2.4 million capital project entails improvements to the audience chamber and improved accessibility. New carpet, drapes, and fresh paint and stain will also be added.

More accessible seats, including transfer seats with raisable armrests, will be scattered around the theater. An additional ramp will be located on the right side of the lobby, allowing full access to both sides of the orchestra level.

Also, some updates will be made to the assisted-listening systems. The location of the soundboard is moving to the center of the audience chamber’s back wall to improve the sound experience for patrons.

A final element of the project includes future-proofing by updating infrastructure to allow for future sound and lighting upgrades.

“With these updates, the Peace Concert Hall will continue to be an exceptional place to host world-class artists and enthusiastic audiences for decades to come,” Riegel said.

“We’re excited to welcome the community back into the Peace Concert Hall to see the changes in September.”

SUCCESS AND HOPPINESS The Southern Growl is expanding, and their success is no accident WORDS BY ARIEL TURNER | PHOTOS BY WILL CROOKS

The Southern Growl has 60 rotating taps at its current location.

Matt and Anna Bowes are expanding The Southern Growl to include a microbrewery and expanded kitchen and entertainment options.

T

here are enough reasons for the success of The Southern Growl since it opened in April 2014 to make it difficult to pinpoint just one that led to its upcoming expansion.

Owners Anna and Matt Bowes have taken the original concept from small taproom at 6 S. Buncombe Road, Greer, to full restaurant in 2016, and now to the future 10,000-square-foot microbrewery and gastropub less than a quarter-mile away at 155 N. Buncombe Road with a planned opening late spring 2019.

The square-footage increase alone could cause even a seasoned restaurant owner to break into a cold sweat while trying to justify the necessary profit margins, but the husband-and-wife team who love to interact with their customers as much as, if not more than, their staff, are positive their success will continue in a bigger space with more elbow room for everyone.

Their plans on the 4.5-acre site include the 15-barrel microbrewery, expanded kitchen, more entertainment options, on-site garden, and close to an acre of grassy outdoor land that the Bowes believe will draw customers from the nearby neighborhoods and give families a place to create new memories.

To name a few things the Bowes have gotten right over the last four and a half years: There’s the 60 rotating taps and the five Certified Cicerones (beer equivalent of

a sommelier) and five Certified Beer Servers on staff to explain all of them. In the new location, about a third of those taps will be brewed on site by bar manager and brewer Jason Azbell.

The rotating pub menu is planned by executive chef Joey McCarter, whose Johnson and Wales culinary training is evident even in the sandwiches he creates. Thursday burger night, which recently featured the “Relish Make Ya Jealous” burger with tomato-pepper relish, balsamic mayo, red onion, mozzarella and goat cheeses, and fresh basil on a brioche bun, regularly sells out, even though the kitchen ups its burger prep every week.

Every eight weeks, the menu, featuring the freshest local ingredients, changes without exception, and the new, larger kitchen will allow for even more creativity.

The Bowes also believe they’ve figured out a thing or two about staff retention, a universal challenge in the service industry for a variety of reasons.

“You can’t pay them $2.50 an hour and expect them to care,” says Anna Bowes, referencing the typical hourly base pay for restaurant service staff who receive a gratuity.

The Bowes say they pay a “living wage” because they expect a lot of their staff but also want them to enjoy coming to work. And as owners and managers, they work hard to provide intangible benefits for their employees — such as creative license in the kitchen along with coursed, fine-dining beer dinners so chef McCarter and his team don’t get bored. They also regularly take their staff on outings, especially after a big event like their Goat Roast every July. The day after, they shut down the restaurant and take everybody out for a day of fun.

“It’s a great industry to be in not only from the community aspect but also, it’s fun,” Matt Bowes says.

And fun is exactly why the Bowes got into the beer business in the first place, and it also serves as the motivation behind the plans for the new property.

It’s also likely keeping a sense of humor while working long hours and handling the stresses of owning a restaurant have helped.

“I always say, ‘It’s a good thing I’m at work right now, ‘cause I could use a beer right now,’” Matt Bowes says.

Matt Fassas (album release show)

Gottrocks | 200 Eisenhower Drive | 9 p.m. | $10 ($15 with a copy of CD)

Matt Fassas is a skilled songwriter, bandleader, and guitar player whose musical tastes run from country to progressive rock to psychedelia. But on his last album, “Inferno,” he says his wide-ranging stylistic palette may have hurt him more than it helped. “I tried to reach out as far as I could in as many different directions as I could,” he says. “And I think ultimately, while it was a really good exercise for me, I confused people. They really didn’t know what to make of it.”

On his new album, “Trip,” largely recorded last year in Athens, Ga., with producer/engineer John Keane (R.E.M., Widespread Panic), Fassas narrowed his focus. He also recruited guests like keyboardist Ike Stubblefield, vocalist Audrey Hamilton, and drummer Jack Ryan (from The Marcus King Band) to augment his rhythm section of Sam Kruer and Troy Jones. “I was very much trying to make it a cohesive album that really worked well as a whole,” he says. “It turned out being a bluesy-rock kind of thing with some Americana and psychedelic influences. It still reaches in different directions, but it’s more direct than anything I’ve done before.” – Vincent Harris

CONCERT

AUG. 3

Make no mistake about it, the upcoming Paul Oakenfold show at The Firmament is one of the biggest concert events to hit Greenville in quite a while. Oakenfold is one of the most successful and influential producers and DJs in the history of electronic music, and not just because he’s won three Grammy Awards and created remixes for Madonna, U2, The Rolling Stones, Britney Spears, Massive Attack, The Cure, and over 100 more artists. He’s had a huge role in just about every iteration of dance music that has made a ripple in the world’s musical consciousness in the past three decades, and his status as a pioneer and innovator in the genres of acid house, trance music, big beat techno, and electronic pop is unassailable. And that’s not even including his evocative, darkly beautiful film scores, which have enhanced movies like “The Bourne Conspiracy,” “Collateral,” and “The Matrix Reloaded,” among many others. – Vincent Harris LESSONS & TRAINING

Radio Room, 110 Poinsett Highway Horizon Records, 2-A W. Stone Ave. 8 p.m. (Radio Room), 3 p.m. (Horizon Records) $15 adv., $20 door (Radio Room), Free (Horizon Records)

Those who think that gritty alt-country and atmospheric, near-psychedelic production don’t mix would do well to steer clear of “Dude, the Obscure,” the new album by former Dead Confederate singer/ guitarist T. Hardy Morris. Working with longtime collaborator and producer Adam Landry at Landry’s home studio in Nashville, Tennessee, the duo takes Morris’ forlorn wail and Kiffy Meyer’s weeping pedal steel and bathes them in an eerie, shimmering glow that lends the songs a sense of size and mystery that’s hard to resist. “I felt pretty comfortable in the studio with Adam,” Morris says. “By now, we truly just approach it as making music and steer clear of genre or letting anything happen other than the songs doing what they’re going to do. We just kind of ease into the song and let it take us where it’s going.”

Morris says that his band is more than capable of re-creating that atmospheric feel onstage, but it might be a good idea to swing by his in-store show at Horizon Records if you want to catch a more stripped-down approach; that performance will just be Morris and Meyer. “You can kind of present the songs as they were initially written,” he says of the duo lineup. “You can hear what the song was before it was recorded and all the other stuff was laid over the top.” –Vincent Harris PERFORMING & VISUAL ARTS

Since then, the only access to his otherworldly voice has been through his archive of iconic recordings. That changes with In Dreams: Roy Orbison - The Hologram Tour, an extraordinary event that sees the man himself take the stage via hologram, accompanied by a full live orchestra. Through cutting-edge digital and laser technology and extraordinary theatrical stagecraft, this first of its kind live concert sees Orbison brought to life on stage to perform his classic tracks, as well as newly recorded and never-before-heard arrangements of his originals. Recognized universally as one of the great rock and roll legends, Orbison’s catalogue includes such chart-toppers as “Oh, Pretty Woman,” “You Got It,” “Only the Lonely,” “Crying,” “I Drove All Night,” “It’s Over,” and “In Dreams.” This tour, directed by Eric Schaeffer (Broadway’s “Million Dollar Quartet”), will allow fans the chance to experience one of the most iconic figures in the history of music in a thrilling way, as Orbison and his trademark three-octave range voice comes back to the stage he commanded for decades.

Alison Krauss called her to the Grand Ole Opry stage when Hull was only 11 years old. Two years later, she signed with Rounder Records and soon became known as a remarkable mandolin player, a tone-true vocalist, and a recording artist of high order. She has played at the White House, Carnegie Hall, and the Kennedy Center, and she became the first bluegrass musician to receive a Presidential Scholarship at the Berklee College of Music. Now a seasoned touring musician nearing her mid-20s, Hull has delivered her most inspired, accomplished, and mature recorded work to date. Weighted Mind is a landmark achievement in folk-pop, bluegrass, and acoustic music. With instrumentation comprised largely of mandolin, bass, and vocals, this is genre-transcending music at its best, with production by Béla Fleck and special harmony vocal guests Alison Krauss, Abigail Washburn, and Rhiannon Giddens adding to the luster.
