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.

If a race has no history, it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated. CARTER G. WOODSON
1 Our celebration began as a week in 1926, from the mind of Carter G. Woodson. 2 He knew we needed a bridge to get us there, but knew a bridge does not appear in happenstance; even though its metal bones majestically rise from the landscape like a magical wonder. 3 Consider the foundation. Plan and set it with intentions. 4 Pick the observance on purpose. In 1976 we got the whole month. We finally got the month not because it is the shortest month, but because of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln’s birthdays. 5 Set the framework and pray for cultural intersections. 6 Note twentyeight days can’t hold the multitudes of our black brilliance. 7 Hope twenty-eight days will bud into 365 days of the year, because Black History is American History. 8 Hope someone will be inspired to pick up a book to learn more than the five to seven requisite heroes and sheroes to which black history is usually truncated. Remember the Greenville Eight, they sat in, so we could stand up. So, we could check out library books to look our history up. Expand. 9 Give people heart and eyes to see how we have melded our innovations into every brace and strut of this edifice we call South Carolina to the whole of the United States. 10 We still tremble when we recite Lift Every Voice and Sing, because more needs to be lifted than the notes of our struggle, than the music of our celebration. 11 Let the preachers, poets and activists tell how some days feel like ain’t nothin changed but the date; especially when we speak their names––when we use our voices to lift our ancestors from unmarked graves and from every place of annihilation:

In “Twenty-Eight Ways Black History Month Matters,” Redmond views Black History Month metaphorically as a bridge to understanding. “I think we progress if we hold the past, we don’t live in it, but we understand it,” she says. “We study it, we know it, so we can move forward.” Calling herself a social justice poet, Redmond uses poetry as a tool to make sense of life. “You look at life to be inspired, or you look at life to try to understand how the world is,” she says. “We’re better people when we reflect.” Reflecting on past strides in black history,

Peace Center submits renovation plans for Wyche Pavilion for city approval n story by CINDY LANDRUM | renderings by SUMMEROUR AND ASSOCIATES
The Wyche Pavilion, the open-air pavilion on the bank of the Reedy River behind the Peace Center, is just a shell of its former self. But a plan announced by the Peace Center last week to preserve and repurpose the historic structure that once served as a paint shop and a mayonnaise factory does more than create another music and event venue on the campus. The project, which could begin this spring if approved by the city’s Design Review Board at its Feb. 7 meeting, will enhance connectivity with Falls Park as well as improve the water quality of the Reedy River that has been one of the keys to the revitalization of Greenville’s downtown and the West End. “This is good for the Peace Center,” said Peace Center President and CEO Megan Riegel. “It’s good for Greenville.” The restoration of the former paint shop and mayonnaise factory had been planned as part of the Peace Center’s initial campus development. The building had fallen into disrepair in the 30 years between its abandonment and its purchase by the Peace Center in the late 1980s. However, financial constraints put those plans on hold and the building was reduced in size, gutted and turned into an open-air pavilion that exists today. “It’s not taking something away,” Riegel said of the proposal. “It’s giving something back.”
and doors, which will maintain the feel of an open-air pavilion when the weather allows, and heating and air conditioning will allow the facility to function as a year-round event space. Riegel said there’s no reason why The Wyche can’t host 200 events a year, from weddings, meetings, lectures, and concerts. “I’m sick of hearing that Greenville is not a music town,” Riegel said. The Wyche would give the Peace Center an intimate music hall to go with the Peace

Concert Hall, which seats more than 2,100; the TD Amphitheatre, which seats 1,450; and the Gunter Theatre, which seats 439. The new Peace Voices Songwriters Series, held in Genevieve’s lounge, is designed to develop an audience for more intimate concert experiences. “We’ve got programs that operate under the radar. The Peace Center is more than going to the Concert Hall to see ‘Hamilton,’ ‘Miss Saigon,’ or ‘Chicago’ the band,” she
Last year, only 36 events were held in the Wyche Pavilion. “People are in love with the glamour shot Wyche Pavilion, not the one with bird poop and trash, and a cracked cement floor,” Riegel said. “We’re creating something special.” When the project is finished, The Wyche will be outfitted as a fully functioning performance venue, featuring state of the art sound and lighting equipment. Windows
said. “We want to have a campus of buildings that are rocking and rolling all the time.”
More than windows
The building itself is the easiest part of the project, said Keith Summerour, principal of Summerour and Associates, the architect on the project. Fire trucks cannot access the site right now because they can’t currently fit under the Main Street bridge, Summerour said.
A new boardwalk along the Reedy River and deck between the Wyche and TD Stage will allow public access around the building. The proposed Wyche Pavilion addition would be lime-washed white brick to reflect the look of a previous extention of the Wyche Pavilion and covered with a climbing vine, Summerour said. The vine is a fun reference to when the building and river was hidden by kudzu vines.
The proposed renovation includes a plan to enclose the existing structure and an addition that will house a kitchen, restrooms, meeting space, & an elevator.
Sewer, power and water lines will be be relocated so the road can be lowered for a fire lane. Underground wastewater retention and riparian plantings will benefit downstream users, he said. “It may look like putting windows in an abandoned building, but it’s way more,” he said. Riegel said the project will significantly improve the Peace Center’s riverside campus.
“It is merging the building with the landscape. It has yet to be done in Greenville but it’s been done in other places where waterfront restorations have been done,” he said. Riegel said she does not yet know how much the project will cost, but said there is no plan to conduct a capital campaign. Construction would be complete by spring 2020.

spark joy? The Marie Kondo effect has hit Greenville closets and consignment shops n story by CINDY LANDRUM
“My approach is broader. It’s about tidying up your lifestyle and your life.” MARIE KONDO

on the KonMari method
Call it the Marie Kondo effect. Greenville residents have been going through their overstuffed closets, toy chests, and bookshelves, looking for the items that “spark joy” and getting rid of the rest, and producing a surge of donations to thrift stores and a rush of people to consignment shops. The wave of tidying all started after Netflix’s Jan. 1 release of the series “Tidying Up With Marie Kondo.” “It definitely has had an effect,” said Sadie Cherney, owner of Clothes Mentor on Haywood Road, who said she’s had people coming in with trash bags full of clothes they are trying to sell. “It feels like three times what is normal for this time of year.” Liz Daly-Korbyski said she saw the Netflix show, ended up binge-watching the series, and soon found herself going through her clothes. One recent Saturday night, she was out with friends when her husband told her he and their son were organizing their guest room. “My husband and son were cleaning without any browbeating,” she said. “I was really surprised how well they took to it.” Erin Rigot actually got a jump on the newest wave of Greenville tidy-ers. She has been doing the KonMari
method of tidying for three years, shortly after the 2014 release of Kondo’s book, “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.” She and her husband lived in a 1950s starter home that she said was “busting at the seams with stuff.” “I actually felt the need to move,” she said. “I thought we had outgrown the house.” Rigot started with her clothes. Since then, she and her husband have tackled all five of Kondo’s categories: clothing, books, papers, komono (miscellaneous items), and mementos. For those who aren’t familiar with the KonMari method, she recommends decluttering and organizing by categories instead of rooms. “We’re total believers,” she said. Korbyski said she’s sparked further joy through mindful donation. She’s given clothing to school clothes pantries and just last week donated books to the little library at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School. Cherney said if holding each item to see if it sparks joy and thanking items that don’t for their service is not a person’s style, they could ask if they’d spend money on it again. For those who haven’t gotten the tidying bug, there’s good news. There’s now a bunch of good, new stuff at Greenville’s thrift stores and consignment shops.

Dear Secretary Betsy DeVos,
united for access Greenville women sign full-page Washington Post ad urging DeVos to address period poverty n story by ARIEL GILREATH
Two Greenville women’s names are listed alongside celebrities and advocates in a letter to Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos urging solutions for students who can’t afford feminine hygiene products. Sharron Champion and Stephanie Arnold, cofounders of the Greenville-based organization Homeless Period Project, are at the top of the list of names featured in the letter, which ran as a full-page advertisement in The Washington Post on Monday. “Menstrual hygiene products are basic necessi-
In 21st century America, schools have an obligation to serve all students equitably. Every student deserves the reassurance that their school restrooms are outfitted with necessities to accommodate their biological needs. Yet, for over half the US student population, there is a glaring exception to this commitment: menstrual hygiene products. The US Department of Education’s stated mission is to “promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access.” We call on you, Secretary DeVos, to fulfill your agency’s charge to remove discriminatory barriers that hold students back. Menstrual hygiene products are basic necessities, and the inability to access them affects a student’s freedom to study, be healthy, and participate in society with dignity. Studies have shown that when students lack access to menstrual hygiene products they skip or miss class, face embarrassment or objectification because of period stains, and are limited both academically and socially.
Stephanie Arnold and Sharron Champion
The Department of Education’s self-declared role is clear, and to uphold that pledge it must address inequity among students by championing menstrual equity. That includes acknowledging period products as health necessities, advocating for policies that support students who menstruate, funding programs to provide period products for free to students in all school restrooms, promoting comprehensive period health education for students of all genders before the age of 12, and commissioning a study to determine the impact period poverty has on students in the United States.
Secretary DeVos, you have a profound responsibility to create “safe and trusted” environments for students across the nation. Now is the time and this is the way to fulfill your moral obligation.

ties, and the inability to access them affects a student’s freedom to study, be healthy, and participate in society with dignity,” the letter says. “Studies have shown that when students lack access to menstrual hygiene products they skip or miss class, face embarrassment or objectification because of period stains, and are limited both academically and socially.” The letter is signed by the CEO of Thinx Inc. — a feminine hygiene products company — and the executive director of Period — a nonprofit advocacy group — along with the president of the American Federation of Teachers and celebrities such as Padma Lakshmi, Sharon Stone, and Cynthia Nixon. Arnold and Champion started the Homeless Period Project in 2015 after Arnold saw a video addressing the issue. In it, a homeless woman said she had to rip up toilet paper to serve as menstrual products. “They are the least donated products to organizations that work with the homeless,” Champion said. Homeless Period Project is a nonprofit organization that hosts and promotes period packing parties, where groups gather to pack tampons, pads, and other feminine hygiene products in baggies to distribute to homeless shelters, schools, food banks, and other places where women might need them. Champion said the organization has distributed more than 230,000 packs since 2015, which has most recently included distributions to Transportation Security Agents and other federal workers who had been

furloughed during the government shutdown. In South Carolina, feminine hygiene products are considered nonessential, taxable items and are not among the tax-free items available to purchase for tax-free weekend. “You can purchase things such as bridal gowns, fur coats, even lingerie tax-free, but you can’t purchase pads and tampons tax-free that weekend,” Champion said. Champion said a lack of awareness is the biggest problem, which she hopes this ad will help change. The letter addressed to DeVos asks the Department of Education to “remove discriminatory barriers that hold students back.” “That includes acknowledging period products as health necessities, advocating for policies that support students who menstruate, funding programs to provide period products for free to students in all school restrooms, promoting comprehensive period health education for students of all genders before the age of 12, and commissioning a study to determine the impact period poverty has on students in the United States,” the letter says. Arnold said making menstrual products available to all schools would send a strong message to girls that society values them in the classroom.
“It needs to come across as a very fundamental change in the way we view periods and the way we value our girls in our school system,” Arnold said. A 2017 survey from Always — a feminine hygiene products brand from Proctor & Gamble — reported that 1 in 5 girls in the United States have missed class because of a lack of period protection. “When you don’t have a lot of money, and you’re faced with, ‘Can I put food on the table or buy these for my two or three daughters?’ You’re obviously going to buy the food,” Arnold said. “What we’re finding out from school nurses and teachers is [some students] simply can’t afford it.”

Greenville Zoo launching breeding program for Prevost’s squirrels

hether or not she knows it, Bebe the Prevost’s squirrel needs help finding a date — and local zookeepers have the perfect suitor in mind. Bebe, the Greenville Zoo’s 7-year-old female Prevost’s squirrel, will soon be paired with a male counterpart from the Los Angeles Zoo in California, according to Greenville Zoo curator Keith Gilchrist. Gilchrist said the 5-year-old male Prevost’s squirrel is being loaned to the Greenville Zoo on a breeding recommendation from the Species Survival Plan. The Species Survival Plan, which is administered by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, matches individual animals from accredited institutions to ensure that a genetically diverse and self-sustaining population is bred in the event it is needed for a reintroduction program to save threatened or endangered species from extinction. Although Prevost’s squirrel populations are stable throughout Southeast Asia, the species is considered vulnerable by some due to the illegal pet trade and de-
meet
forestation, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Gilchrist said Bebe is currently rated as the third most genetically valuable female among the Prevost’s squirrel population in zoos worldwide. She was born at the Micke Grove Zoo in Lodi, California, in 2011 and relocated to the Greenville Zoo in 2015 as part of the Species Survival Plan. Bebe’s unnamed suitor will be transferred to the Greenville Zoo this spring and then quarantined for about 30 days before being introduced to Bebe and her current roommate, a Palawan peacock-pheasant named Fez. If Bebe and her suitor are compatible, they will likely produce offspring this summer, according to Greenville Zoo keeper Jennifer Stahl. The breeding season for Prevost’s squirrels is yearround, but it typically peaks between June and August, according to Stahl. Females can have up to three litters each year, with one to four pups per litter. Once pregnant, Bebe will carry the pups for about 40
days before giving birth inside a nesting box, according to Stahl. Prevost’s squirrel pups are born naked, toothless, and helpless with their eyes closed, so the zoo’s staff will likely observe Bebe in the days following the birth to ensure she is providing proper maternal care, such as nursing. Zoo visitors won’t be able to view the squirrel pups until they’re about 2 months old, at which point they will be fully furred and independent enough to leave the nesting box, according to Gilchrist. The pups will reach maturity after a year and be added to a list for possible transfer to another zoo through the Prevost’s Squirrel Species Survival Plan. For now, though, visitors can enjoy watching Bebe in her exhibit at the Greenville Zoo’s Asia habitat, according to Gilchrist. A zoo map can be downloaded at https://bit.ly/2MnbnzK. “Any time of day is best as Bebe has a varied routine and spends her time eating, exploring, nest-building, and napping,” Gilchrist said.

CAPTURED
Women’s March
PHOTOS BY PHILIP GARCIA / GOOD HURT STUDIOS
As an artist, my purpose is to scrape away at a deeper truth. I decided to experience the Women’s March in Greenville and attempt to gain a better understanding of the people there. My goal was to convey the diversity of the crowd and hear some of their stories in the process. I felt it was my duty to capture each individual the way I would if they were in my studio, giving them a space that was their own even though they were amongst hundreds.

The Spring Hotlist
LAWN & LANDSCAPES
Jumpstart your garden
If you want a robust garden come spring, there are some fruits and vegetables that benefit from starting as seedlings indoors. Urban Farmer gives a full list of the planting schedule for Greenville based on the projected last frost. Some seedlings to start planting now include Brussel sprouts, collards, lettuce, peppers, spinach, and tomatoes. Urban Farmer also notes the fruits and vegetables that grow better by direct sowing – being planted first in the ground. Below are steps to take your seeds from indoor planting to growing outdoors.
by
We know, we know! You Martin are itching to start your Garden spring gardening. It’s just around the corner, S.P.R.I.N.G. Center - we promise. Seriously. We thought we’d give you a list of spring must-haves, spring be-onthe-lookout-fors, spring wishlisters, spring up-and-comings ... basically all the hottest spring garden additions to get you spring-ified!
1 Timing & Prep
2 Plant
Plant your seeds six to eight weeks before the last frost. See Urban Farmer’s schedule for a guide. Make sure your container is two to three inches deep and has drainage holes. Use potting soil that is specific to seedlings.
Make sure you follow the instructions for how deep to plant the seeds. Some seeds should be on the soil’s surface and others need to be planted deeper. A helpful tip for speeding growth: place plastic wrap over the pot until you see the first signs of green.
So here’s our spring hotlist to be on the lookout for:
1 2 3
4 5
Kabloom Calibrachoas. The Kabloom series - the best cali performers, hands down.
‘Jams ‘n Jellies Blackberry’ Vinca. A new vinca color that is so deep purple it’s almost black. ‘Bordeaux’ Lily of the Valley. ‘Bordeaux’ produces pure white, larger bell-shaped flowers on stems that are held above the foliage as opposed to between the leaves. ‘Carolina Bicolor’ Verbenas. Haphazardly placed splashes, streaks, splotches and blotches of color against a crisp white background. Beautiful! ‘Imagination Deep Magic’ Trailing Petunia. A fabulous trailing petunia: think magic! (see above photo)
3 Water & Light
4 Plant Outside
After watering, the soil should be damp, but not too wet. Try using a mister instead of watering can. The soil should dry some before watering again. Use fertilizer as needed based on the seed instructions. Make sure seeds get enough light for proper growth.
You should slowly transition the seedlings from indoors to outside by starting them off with a few hours in a shaded area at a time. After about a week of gradually increasing the seedlings’ time outdoors, you’re ready to plant.
OPEN HOUSES
Because, you know, you can never have too much of a good spring... ahem... thing. Happy Planting!

Experience Wynton Marsalis’ music through Patrick Lopez, Greenville musicians n story by VINCENT HARRIS | photo PROVIDED
THE MUSIC OF WYNTON MARSALIS FEAT. PATRICK LOPEZ
WHEN 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 5 WHERE Coffee Underground, 1 E. Coffee St., Greenville TICKETS $12 (seniors, students), $15 general admission INFO 864-298-0494
FOR TICKETS visit centrestage.org or call our box office at (864) 233-6733 SPONSORED BY Bev & Jim Whitten, Harry & Sheila Bolick, Jack & Judy DePriester
Trumpeter, vocalist, and bandleader Patrick Lopez has done a lot of things and worked with a lot of people. He was a student of the great Cuban trumpeter, pianist, and composer Arturo Sandoval. His first vocal teacher was Jon Secada, who scored a No. 1 pop hit with “Just Another Day.” And he’s played in various combos across the Southeast, including his own band The Patrick Lopez Experience. But there’s one musician who influenced Lopez more than anyone else: the nine-time Grammy-Award-winning, New Orleansborn jazz legend Wynton Marsalis. In fact, Lopez can talk about Marsalis’ career off the top of his head like he’s reading the man’s Wikipedia page. “He was one of the few jazz icons in my time growing up in the ‘80s who had an impact on music as a whole,” Lopez says. “He won the Pulitzer Prize as a musician [in 1997]; I was watching when he was one of the first musicians who got a Grammy for jazz and classical music in the same year [in 1983, when Marsalis was 22]. That had such an impact on me and on musicians all around, seeing him on TV winning Grammys for music that wasn’t necessarily popular. And he has so many other awards and accolades. He was a huge influence on me.” Perhaps it’s not surprising, then, that as an adult, Lopez wanted to pay tribute to
his greatest influence by putting together an evening of Marsalis’ music, which Lopez did about three years ago in Asheville, North Carolina. What IS surprising is who Lopez was able to collaborate with on the show: Wynton’s brother Jason Marsalis, who plays drums. “It was a thrill, having one of the Marsalises with us,” Lopez says. “It was mindblowing. I got to experience playing his music with one of his siblings performing them with me. Wynton’s music was so important to me growing up, and being able to play it, it almost felt selfish, playing this music that I loved to hear.” Lopez was able to bring Jason Marsalis in partly due to the efforts of the Upstate group the Greenville Jazz Collective, which had collaborated with the drummer before. Lopez met members of the collective, including guitarist Matt Dingledine, bassist Shannon Hoover, and trombone player Brad Jepson, when he moved from his native Miami to North Carolina and began looking for places to play, and for people to play with. “When I first came to the area, I started reaching out to venues that would play jazz music, and I got to meet Brad and Matt and Shannon,” Lopez says. “They were so receptive to me, and they started calling me for performances at Furman University or at Chicora Alley. And as I’ve
played with them, we’ve become friends.” Lopez will again be collaborating with members of the GJC this Tuesday at the Coffee Street location of Coffee Underground, where he, Dingledine, Hoover, saxophonist Matt Olson, pianist Keith Davis, and drummer Justin Watt will once again be paying tribute to Wynton’s music, this time without Jason. Lopez says the experience of going from an avid fan to a musician playing Marsalis’ music has been eye-opening. “His songs were hard to analyze as a young student,” he says, “but I can see the complexity now of his writing. If you look at a standard like ‘Autumn Leaves,’ for example, he starts breaking down the tempo, and gradually speeding up and doubling it and doubling again. It’s always a challenge to give his music the respect it deserves.” And Lopez is quick to add that Coffee Underground is a great place to do just that. “The word for that space is ‘intimate,’” he says. “You get the audience to LISTEN. It’s a really nice room, and the people there really want to hear the music. That keeps you on your toes. You’re not just going through the motions and playing your parts. This is more of a listening room, which makes it more enjoyable for us and keeps us on top of our game.”

Film screening highlights international effort to save Balkan rivers
PEACE CHAMBER CO N CERT S ERI ES

BERLIN PHILHARMONIC WIND QUINTET FEB. 13
Outdoor marketing agencies Groundswell PR and Blue Ion Outpost have partnered with Friends of the Reedy River, a Greenvillebased environmental nonprofit, to host a screening of the documentary “Blue Heart: The Fight for Europe’s Last Wild River.” Produced by media company Farm League and outdoor clothing brand Patagonia, the 43-minute film chronicles the grassroots campaign to protect the rivers of the Balkan Peninsula in southeastern Europe. The Balkan Peninsula, which includes 20,000 pristine, free-flowing kilometers of rivers between Slovenia and Albania, has become a target for foreign developers and banks that plan to build 3,000 new hydroelectric dams and diversions throughout the region. Around 91 percent of the planned projects are small hydropower diversion dams, according to Patagonia. These types of projects divert water and can leave portions of rivers completely dry. Environmental advocates and researchers alike argue that blocking or diverting the paths of the Balkan rivers could impact their water quality, block the movement of nutrients and sediment, and destroy fish and wildlife habitats. A 2017 report commissioned by Riverwatch and EuroNatur, two environmental campaign organizations, found that up to a tenth of Europe’s fish species could be wiped out or decimated by planned hydroelectric dams and diversions throughout the region. “I believe this wild place requires and deserves protection,” Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard said in a news release. “It’s a waste of money and a moral travesty that some of the world’s largest financial institutions have embraced this outdated and exploitative
technology and are financing new dams in some of the last wild places in Europe.” Patagonia is working with local communities and nongovernmental organizations in countries like Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, and Macedonia to put pressure on foreign developers and banks that fund the projects. The company’s film, “Blue Heart,” documents the battle for the largest undammed river in Europe, Albania’s Vjosa; the effort to save the endangered Balkan lynx in Macedonia; and the plight of women from the village of Kruščica, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, who spearheaded a monthslong, 24/7 protest to protect their community’s only source of drinking water. Robert Prioleau, a founding partner of Blue Ion, said his company decided to co-host a screening of the film to increase public awareness of the negative impacts of hydroelectric dams, as well as the local environmental issues facing the Reedy River. Since the 1900s, the Reedy River has experienced severe pollution from nearby textile mills, sewage discharges, and runoff from increased urbanization. The river’s water quality, however, has improved over the past few decades thanks to cleanup efforts by a number of local conservation groups and government agencies. Once the screening ends, Friends of the Reedy River will hold a presentation about their work to help improve the Reedy’s water quality, according to Prioleau. The screening is set for 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 7, in the main lounge of the West Village Lofts at Brandon Mill, located at 25 Draper St. in Greenville. Tickets cost $5 per person. The evening will conclude with a prize drawing.

David Drake, circa 1800 to circa 1870 storage vessel, 1857 alkaline-glazed stoneware inscribed: Aug 16, 1857, Dave I wonder where is all my relation Friendship to all and every nation
I wonder where is all my relation Friendship to all and every nation Experience the powerful story of David Drake, an enslaved African-American who worked as a “turner” in several pottery manufacturing facilities in South Carolina’s Edgefield District. Drake, who was known only as “Dave” before 1865, learned to both read and write, dangerous and even illegal skills for a slave to possess. Drake openly expressed his literacy by inscribing original poems on many of the utilitarian works he created. The identities of millions of enslaved African-Americans, whose talents and labor supported the development of American culture, were overlooked or disregarded by recorded history. Through the modest wares handcrafted and inscribed by David Drake, at least one remarkable voice remains to speak on behalf of the lives and stories irretrievably lost. The GCMA is home to the largest institutional collection of pottery vessels by David Drake, including single-handle jugs, storage jars, pitchers, a syrup jug, and a rare butter churn.

Chazz Palminteri knew “A Bronx Tale,” his one-man show turned Robert DeNiro movie, would make a great Broadway musical. He just needed to find the right team to pull it off. “I knew I had a great book for the musical,” said Palminteri, who became the first actor to play the same role in a play, feature film, and Broadway musical. “But I couldn’t write the music. I couldn’t write the lyrics. I’m not a choreographer.” Enter eight-time Oscar winner Alan Menken to write the music, three-time Tony Award nominee Glenn Slater to write the lyrics, and Tony nominee Sergio Trujillo to do the choreography. DeNiro, the legendary actor who made his directorial debut in the film adaptation, and four-time Tony winner Jerry Zaks were co-directors. “We got all-stars,” he said. “Does that guarantee it will be a hit? No. But this is one time it all clicked.” “A Bronx Tale” opens Tuesday for an eight-show run at the Peace Center. It tells the story of a boy named Calogero who witnesses a murder by the mobster Sonny. The gangster later befriends him, and Calogero finds himself caught between the straight-and-narrow father he loves and the mob boss he’d love to be. The story is autobiographical. When Palminteri was 9, he witnessed a local gangster gun down a man in broad daylight in his Bronx neighborhood. Palminteri never said anything, and the gangster later took him under his wing. “People have been asking me for 30
years whether I was traumatized by it, but no, it was like nothing happened,” he said. “Obviously, it made an impression because I wrote about it years later. It stayed in my head.” Palminteri said it’s been a success because it has themes everybody can relate to. His father inspired one of the biggest themes of the musical – “the saddest thing in life is wasted talent” — and him to write the story in the first place. “My father had seen a lot of young boys in the neighborhood die of drug overdoses. He told me that the saddest thing in life is wasted talent,” Palminteri said. “That motivated me my whole life. I wasn’t going to let my talent be wasted.” “A Bronx Tale” is also a cautionary tale, he said. “It’s about the choices you make and how they shape your life,” he said. “The story is as relevant today as it was in 1968, or in 1989 when I wrote the one-man play, or today.”

In its 22 years as a band, the Atlanta metal quintet Sevendust has released 12 albums of original material, not counting live albums and compilations. They’ve sold millions of records and landed nearly 30 singles of tight, ferocious twin-guitar rock on the Billboard singles charts. And their newest album, 2018’s “All I See Is War,” was one of the most critically acclaimed of their career. Their music got darker and more dramatic on the album, and the reviews praised the changes, with The Washington Post calling “All I See Is War” “polished, heavy and melodic … another step in the band’s movement,” and the website AllMusic noting the album was “as potent and furious as anything in their back catalog.” Given the enthusiastic response to the new stuff, and a large back catalog of hits like “Denial,” “Waffle,” “Praise,” and “Live Again,” one wonders how Sevendust is able to figure out what to fit into their live show every night, and singer Lajon Witherspoon says their set list is a moving target. “It’s one of the hardest things to do at this point in our career,” he says with a laugh. “The last shows we did around New Year’s started with ‘Sevendust: Deep Cuts,’ and then the next night we did ‘Sevendust: Deeper Cuts.’ But then the next night we did the ‘Home’ album [one of the band’s most popular releases] in its entirety. So I’m excited what’s going to happen with these next shows.” Interestingly enough, the critical praise for Sevendust’s newest album is something Witherspoon didn’t pay much attention to, which is a bit different from the old days. “I had some stuff in storage in Atlanta,” he says, “and my wife was going to pick it up and asked me what I wanted to keep. And I told her to just throw it all away; I didn’t want it. But she said there was some cool stuff there, and she brought these two cases with all of these magazines, from ‘Metal Edge’ to ‘Hit Parader,’ with us on the front with people like
Kid Rock and Metallica. It was incredible. To go through them was amazing.” That’s not to say that Witherspoon isn’t proud of Sevendust’s new album, which they made after a year-and-a-half break, one of the longest of their career. “If you’re on the road all the time, what do you have to write about other than being on the road?” he says. “It was time to come home and pick the kids up and take the trash out, things that normal people do that we miss. It was a great way to bring out the realness of the band and come in fresh.” One of Sevendust’s calling cards has always been the power and flexibility of Witherspoon’s voice; he can growl and bellow like any good metal-band singer, but he’s got more range and depth in his vocals than many other singers. It’s a voice he’s learned to take care of. “I’ve always felt like it’s my gift to sing,” he says. “But it’s also my job. So I go to bed. Moderation is VERY important. You can party a little bit, but you don’t have to burn it all the way down every night. You’ve got to get your rest.” Sevendust will perform Wednesday at The Firmament in Greenville, and Witherspoon says that after a couple of decades, the band is in a great place. “It’s good to be in Sevendust right now,” he says. “We continue to play this music, and hopefully people will continue to come along with us and keep us relevant in this brutal world that is the music business. I really feel like I can never take it for granted to be able to tour the world.”

With many GCYO students pursuing musical careers, the “Shoulder to Shoulder” concert allows them to see their potential futures. “Seeing professionals there working with you, they made it so you know it’s possible, and it’s good inspiration,” YAO timpanist Will Harris says. Working closely in final rehearsals, students receive one-on-one instruction from GSO members, going over passages and techniques together. The result is an orchestral concert without distinction between student and professional. “I think [the audience] will be surprised to see what young musicians are capable of,” Harris says. The weekly rehearsals also give students an inside look at a professional career. “I really like the longer rehearsals, which sounds really funny,” YAO violinist Hope Zinkann says. “Now that it’s three hours, you can experience what you’re going to experience later.” GCYO executive director Holly Caprell says “Shoulder to Shoulder” is the highlight for many students. “It’s invaluable for the kids to have those professionals even take the time to share with them,” Caprell says. GSO education director Braxton Ballew says “Shoulder to Shoulder” has become one of his favorite projects, too. “All musicians go through an intense process of discipline and preparation, expressing yourself while being part of something
larger at the same time; there’s just nothing I’ve ever experienced like it,” Ballew says. “And getting to make that happen year after year for the musicians and the audiences of the future is what it’s all about.” The audience should expect great music, Ballew says. “Standards are always high, and both GCYO and GSO musicians bring all the passion and skill they have, every time,” he says. GCYO students are the next generation of Greenville musicians. GCYO alumna Emily Kirkpatrick is now a GCYO section coach, strings teacher at Stone Academy of Communication Arts, and professional violinist with several area symphonies, including GSO. “Playing in GCYO exposed me to higherlevel symphonic repertoire, allowed me to play in a full orchestra, and challenged my technique,” Kirkpatrick says. “I feel that GCYO brings different playing opportunities to the young musicians of Greenville.”

WELCOME TO THE CHEESE C AV E
Blue Ridge Creamery makes local aged cheeses in Travelers Rest
Christian Hansen Cheesemaker
n story by ARIEL TURNER | photos by WILL CROOKS
“A cheese rind is really like a forest floor.” Christian Hansen points to multiple (good) mold colonies of differing greens, grays, and browns, and varying textures forming the rind on a wheel of Chattooga Blue. He explains: in order for the type of mold necessary to develop the flavors he’s after in each specific type of cheese, each type of mold begets another, like the layer of fallen leaves building the foundation of a forest floor on which the rest of the flora will grow. And that is just one of the bits of minutiae critical to the cheese making process. Hansen, cheese maker and owner of Blue Ridge Creamery founded in 2016 in Travelers Rest, likes to call himself a “curd nerd.” The title is apt for the former computer-software salesman as it is his “nerdy” tendencies and attention to detail that have allowed him to learn and perfect the oft-painstaking, hurry-up-and-wait
cheese-making process. It’s an Old World process that runs in Hansen’s bloodline – both his grandfather and great-grandfather were Danish dairymen – and after experimenting at home in 2006 with his first cheese, he knew at some point he would move away from the corporate environment and into the local artisan food movement. Aside from the challenge of jumping into a completely different new career, the craft of cheese-making itself is fraught with difficulties one learns only by experience. In other words, one does not simply make cheese, to borrow a popular meme phrase. It’s complicated, volatile, backbreaking, sometimes stinky, messy, expensive work. And for those, like Hansen and his business partner Charles LePrade, for whom the highest quality and sourcing local ingredients is paramount, it’s even more difficult. But they love it. They’re good at it, as evidenced by local and regional chefs’ adding Blue Ridge Creamery cheese to
their menus with increasing regularity. Mentions in regional and national publications continue to roll in. And it’s made in Greenville County, primarily for local residents. That’s reason enough to know how it’s made and why it’s worth the $24 per pound.
Let’s start with the basics. To make aged cheeses, not the ricotta or fresh mozzarella home cooks can easily make, a proper aging facility, or cave, is necessary. Hansen found a building formerly used as an auto body shop and more recently for canoe manufacturing in which to build his commercial kitchen. The addition in which the canoes were painted now serves as the cheese cave, where the temperature and humidity are carefully regulated – 85 percent humidity and 55-56 degrees to be exact. Too much humidity could cause the cheese to go rancid, Hansen says, with the summer proving particularly difficult. In order to make larger quantities of
cheese, a proper insulated holding tank for milk is required. That tank holds about 330 gallons of milk at a time and can keep it properly regulated for about 24 hours if the power goes out. Any longer than that means $6,000 worth of milk is wasted. That loss would be devastating for a small business. One gallon of milk makes about eighttenths to two pounds of cheese, depending on the variety. Currently, in the cave, a 125-pound wheel of Mont Sassafras alpinestyle cheese made from 140 gallons of milk is aging alongside seven to eight different kinds of cheese formed in much smaller wheels. Here’s where the variables get interesting, and why cheese makers have to learn much of the process by doing rather than following a tutorial. The milk Blue Ridge Creamery sources from Milky Way Farm (raw) and Southern Oaks Jersey Farm (pasteurized) changes every week, and they have to adjust, Hansen says. In the spring, cows are giving birth and their milk is much fattier, which is ideal for blue cheeses.

“
You don’t think this came out of a factory. Christian Hansen Cheesemaker
“Spring babies and grass make the best milk,” Hansen says. Summertime, when the milk is leaner, is great for hard cheeses. If the cows have been indoors for the few days prior, their milk will be white. If they’ve been outside grazing in the grass, their milk will be yellow and fatty. It’s always different. What follows is also an expert-learned process – knowing how long certain types of cheeses need to curdle, how much of the solidifying enzyme (rennet) should be added, how hard or soft the cheese should be when it’s removed from the cooking vat and molded into wheels. Hansen says he spends most of his time either washing equipment or leaning over the vat, stirring and then cutting the curds. Hansen’s research and trial and error produce a high quality product, but it’s not without personal sacrifice. He says so far, the creamery burns a lot of cash, but as Hansen is able to produce higher volume, the financials will make more sense. He’s unwilling to compromise, though, and will continue to touch every wheel of cheese that the creamery produces. “You don’t think this came out of a factory,” he says.
