OPINION Views from your community

The Misunderstood Generation Don’t believe everything you hear about millennials IN MY OWN WORDS

By Hannah Barfield Spellmeyer

It’s no exaggeration to say that millennials are a misunderstood and sometimes reviled group of workers. We blame their failings on a lot of things: helicopter parents, participation trophies and timeouts instead of spankings. As with many things society doesn’t understand at first, we have exaggerated the pervasiveness and severity of this generation’s unique habits. Millennial urban legends are beginning to rival the hook-handed serial killer on Lover’s Lane. Text-neck and trigger-thumb from our iPhones, six months at one job before we move to the next, and unrestrained entitlement top the list of tall tales. To be fair, some of these complaints have teeth, but others are about as credible as a Martian invasion and the subsequent government cover-up.

Drawn Out Loud

As a former preteen who once spent hours upon hours talking on the phone, it’s hard to believe that millennials are so averse to phone calls today, but, alas, this is no storyline from “The Twilight Zone.” Coldcalling evangelists may clutch their pearls, but when someone calls unannounced it often isn’t received well. Random phone calls can imply that the caller believes their priorities are more important than the recipients’. Think of it as the equivalent to walking into someone’s office, sitting down and just chit-chatting without asking if they’re in the middle of something. (If you are that person, please stop doing that.) Millennials prefer email/text because it allows them to prioritize the message, respond thoughtfully, and complete any tasks they’re working on before replying. Beyond that, email is the modern-day searchable filing cabinet.

You can always relocate the information you

by Stuart Neiman

Work hard but set boundaries.

No one walking the plank says, “I wish I would have worked more.” need at a later date. Unsurprisingly, professionals outside of the millennial generation are also starting to adopt this preference.

Another top grievance is that millennials have limited commitment to their employers. Ahem, they “job hop.” This one is, categorically, an urban legend. OK, OK, you need evidence. After all, I’m a millennial – why trust me? According to a study released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics in 2015, baby boomers changed jobs in their 20s at the same rate that millennials do now with an average of six jobs between the ages of 18 and 24. Let me demystify this even further: Young people usually take whatever job they can get because they have no idea what they want to do for the rest of their lives. On top of that, millennials in particular came of age during a recession where if you didn’t take whatever job you could get, you were perpetually unemployed. Unemployed millennials can’t buy brunch and believe me, brunch is millennial kryptonite.

Lastly, millennials work differently than other generations, but they are not aggregately lazy or entitled. We don’t always subscribe to traditional work hours. We value work-life balance and sometimes prioritize it over a demanding career. We want to understand the whys behind what we’re doing because we crave purpose. Are these entitlements the fodder of fairytales? That’s

debatable. But, they all describe what sage elders tell us to prioritize after it’s too late for them to do so. Spend more time with your family. Do something you love. Work hard but set boundaries. No one walking the plank says, “I wish I would have worked more.”

As with most negative reputations, attitudes toward millennials are based on part folklore and part truth. We can be indecisive, kind of needy and will constantly challenge the status quo. But, we also answer late-night emails, constantly seek new technology to be more efficient and work limitless hours once we find our passion.

With more generations working alongside each other than ever, it’s vital that we learn to cope with each era’s idiosyncrasies and leave the larger-than-life stereotypes to the raconteurs.

Good Neighbors The Salvation Army and its clients are the focus of frustration for Rutherford Road area residents MELINDA YOUNG | CONTRIBUTOR

myoung@communityjournals.com

Will Crooks / Staff

Mary Robinson, who once abused alcohol, marijuana and cocaine, has been sober since April and a resident of the Salvation Army’s homeless shelter for women and children.

Greenville’s Salvation Army’s headquarters is expanding, driving the North Main community to confront the area’s uneasy relationship with the homeless and indigent. The Salvation Army is planning a major renovation and expansion on Rutherford Street, where the 113-yearold nonprofit organization has been providing help to the poor since relocating there in 1927.

With housing for more than 80 homeless men, women and children, the Salvation Army decided to improve its space after reviewing recommendations from an August 2015 mission planning study. In addition to consolidating the organization’s offices at 417 Rutherford St., plans call for enlarging the dining hall, which serves residents and others in the community.

“We have a dining hall that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner every day of the year,” said Rachel Wilkes, development director. “We serve 155,000 meals each year.”

As the Salvation Army is poised for another change, its proposal spotlights how the needs and goals of two different worlds sometimes collide as each struggles to define the North Main area.

The Salvation Army’s plans include updating its existing site and putting new offices in the old WORD-FM building at 501 Rutherford, next to WYFF-TV. The pro-

posal requires a zoning change and, possibly, convincing neighbors that the expansion will be positive for everyone.

Calling it an expansion is imprecise because there won’t be more services or an increase in the homeless population the Salvation Army serves, Wilkes said. “It will add office space and make the property safer.”

When Salvation Army leaders discussed preliminary architectural plans at a May public hearing, they heard an earful from frustrated neighbors. Residents were worried that the change would result in more clashes with homeless people in their neighborhoods.

“The meeting was very little about zoning questions, but became an outlet to voice frustration,” she said. “People talked about the homeless on their property, leaving trash and beer bottles, getting into their cars.”

The organization’s advisory board members voted earlier this summer to temporarily drop the rezoning request with the understanding that they’d bring it back up with the city toward the end of 2016, Wilkes said.

Since then, the Salvation Army has tackled the trash issue: Guests who dined at the organization’s free dinners on Tuesdays and Thursdays sometimes would carry out their food in Styrofoam containers and then leave them

on the streets. After learning of the problem, the Salvation Army did away with the Styrofoam. People now have to sit down to eat, using regular plates and silverware.

The community’s other concerns also are valid, but are not necessarily the fault of the Salvation Army and the people it serves, Wilkes said. There are many homeless people in the area besides those who live at the Salvation Army. “We want to be good neighbors,” Wilkes said, “but those are macro issues that Greenville is facing now with the growth of the city, gentrification and mental illness.”

For example, behind the Salvation Army are some streets that are defined by poverty, drugs and homelessness. On another side and across Rutherford are places where many homes sell for upwards of half a million dollars.

The faith-based service organization’s renovation plans are happening at a time when the North Main area is rapidly transitioning to more upscale housing and retail businesses, including the new Main & Stone mixed-use development.

For Janet Sumner, the Salvation Army is part of the area’s blended community culture.

“I remember the Salvation Army being here when I was a kid,” said Sumner, who moved to neighboring James

Mary Robinson has long been a part of the North Main area, particularly in the community behind the Salvation Army, where she self-medicated with alcohol, marijuana and cocaine. Since April 25, she has been sober and a resident at the Salvation Army’s homeless shelter for women and children. Her daily routine is a 4 a.m. wake-up, followed by morning housekeeping chores, breakfast and a cigarette break. Then she spends the day at Labor Finders, working if she’s able.

The long day leaves no time for wandering around neighboring streets, and Robinson said she wouldn’t do anything that would reflect badly on the Salvation Army. “We know we are scrutinized when we come here, and we don’t want to let this organization down,” she said.

Alvin Robinson echoes Mary Robinson’s sentiments. Alvin, who is not related to Mary, said he found a home and people who cared for him at the Salvation Army.

After his siblings boarded up the family house he had lived in for most of his life, Robinson said he slid on a downward spiral, landing — homeless and addicted — on the streets.

A Virtual Wilderness Clemson creates digital archive for US parks ANDREW MOORE | STAFF

amoore@communityjournals.com

Rejoice, history buffs: Clemson University and the National Park Service (NPS) have created a virtual time machine – the Open Parks Network.

The website features about 200,000 downloadable images, maps, architectural designs, engineering plans and 1.5 million pages from technical reports and journals that detail events from more than 20 national parks, state parks, historic sites and battlefields throughout the country, including Greenville’s Paris Mountain State Park.

“Before the Open Parks Network, items in the park archives weren’t viewable unless you visited the park. The network puts these treasures in the hands of anyone with an internet connection,” said Brett Wright, dean of the Clemson University College of Behavioral, Social and Health Sciences and project sponsor.

The site will help park professionals and researchers evaluate park issues and project funding needs. Its images will help with historical interpretation, and the architectural and engineering plans will help rangers maintain current infrastructure, said Christopher Vinson, project lead and head of technology at Clemson University Libraries. Also, the maps could help in land acquisition, which helps in the establishment of new parks.

The site also provides a better communication system for park managers and rangers, allowing them to share materials with one another. Managers can network and find each other based on common interests related to parks. And the system notifies managers when information about a subject of interest appears in the database.

“Often in the parks profession, national park people aren’t talking to state parks people and state parks professionals aren’t talking to local parks people. Sometimes even within one park system, different groups of people aren’t communicating as efficiently as they could,” said Wright. “So when managers in one park find a solution to a challenge or produce a research study of significance,

that knowledge frequently remains isolated because of geography or funding.”

The digital database was thought up by the NPS in 2008. The NPS then partnered with Clemson University, Purdue University Libraries and state parks throughout Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina to produce it.

In 2010, Clemson University Libraries received a $773,444 grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) to develop the database. Clemson University also

contributed $799,167 to the project, creating a total of $1.57 million in funding.

To create the database, Clemson University computing and information retrieval specialists had to scan documents and objects from park archives into high-resolution images so that they could be stored online. In 2010, the team started scanning in its lab at the R.M. Cooper Library at Clemson University. The process was tedious.

Some parks couldn’t ship fragile materials to Clemson, so the team had to some-

times drive and fly up to eight hours away sometimes to pick them up. And if materials were too fragile, the team was required to transport their imaging equipment to the parks to scan items on site.

“My friend and I drove to Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky to pick up nitrate negatives, which are combustible,” said Vinson. “They’re usually kept in cold storage for that reason. So we blasted the air condition on the way back home to keep them from bursting into flames. You just never really know how delicate the materials are.”

In 2013, Clemson University metadata architect Rachel Whittmann started creating metadata for each of the scanned items.

Metadata is the detailed information used to describe digital materials, ranging from coordinates to image formats.

Using geocoding, Whittmann constructed digital maps that show the coordinates of images and other scanned items that had addresses. One of the collections includes the 141,000 names and addresses of the people who donated to create the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Park in 1916.

Donors can be found on a digital map.

The mapping technology has also helped genealogists trace family histories, according to Whittmann. The geocodes, which show

NEWS family names, are derived from a network of negative images and maps of familial land tract acquisitions used to create parks.

The team plans to add more images in the near future. In fact, Vinson and Whittmann plan on adding 40 photo albums of material from Yellowstone National Park on Thursday to celebrate the National Park Service’s 100year anniversary.

The Clemson team also plans to add materials from Cowpens National Battlefield (Gaffney, S.C.) and Harpers Ferry National Historical Park (West Virginia) this fall. They were also recently awarded $25,000 by the NPS to scan 50,000 materials from the Everglades National Park in Florida. Also, they plan on partnering with the NPS Southeast Archeological Center to scan additional materials.

“Our ultimate goal is to scan materials from all parks,” said Vinson. “It’s a big goal, but I think we can get it done. It’ll just take time.”

History is a series of stories. Theater is a way to tell stories. Actress and teaching artist Prentiss Standridge melds them both in the Metropolitan Arts Council’s arts-integration program.

SmartARTS partners teachers with visual and performing artists to teach core subjects in Greenville County schools. It got a $200,000 boost from TD Bank on Tuesday.

The money will establish the TD Center for Arts Integration at MAC’s headquarters on Augusta Street.

“The arts, especially theater arts, appeal to all five senses,” Standridge said. “It reaches multiple styles of learning. Inevitably, students make a connection to the material and to themselves.”

SmartARTS began in 2002 with $2.1 million in federal grants. The program focused on integrating the arts into all grade levels at one high-poverty middle school and one high-poverty elementary school. One of the grants focused on training teachers and artists to work together in the classroom to teach core subjects using the arts.

Through SmartARTS, eighth-grade algebra students made glass quilt tiles to learn about slopes in algebra class. The quilt tiles contained secret messages carried on the Underground Railroad, incorporating history into the math class.

In an elementary art class, fifth-graders wrote poetry that incorporated their personal experiences, knowledge of America, its history, their community and their families.

A fourth-grade class Standridge worked with last year was studying the westward expansion and they re-enacted key moments,

putting themselves into the characters’ shoes.

“They had a deeper connection to historic figures,” Standridge said, adding that students had to write their own play, a task in which they learned vocabulary and historic facts.

By using the visual and performing arts to enhance academic achievement, SmartARTS provides teachers with tools to work with students’ different learning styles and increase student engagement.

The program’s federal funds ran out in 2007, and MAC has raised $1.68 million since to expand and continue the program.

“SmartARTS has a proven track record of success in improving academic achievement through integration of the arts into the standard curricula of our public schools,” said Cal Hurst, TD Bank’s regional vice president.

Sixty-one schools have participated in the SmartARTS program. It has trained more than 200 artists and 450 teachers in art-integration techniques. Teaching artists in the program include a Broadway actor, an award-winning performance poet, a muralist, a printmaker, a television actor and musicians. Through the program, more than 400 arts-integrated units have been developed.

Hurst said TD Bank recognizes the value of the arts to a community’s growth and prosperity. “Maybe there’s no greater example of the arts’ return on investment than Greenville. All you have to do to see the central role the arts have played in what we’ve seen Greenville become is look a block down, up, this way, that way,” he said.

Private support for the arts is especially important as budgets get tight, Hurst said. “Arts are often targeted,” he said. “But the investment we’re making now lays the ground for possibilities in the future.”

MAC Executive Director Alan Ethridge said TD Bank has a tradition of supporting worthwhile philanthropic and arts-related initiatives throughout the Upstate.

“SmartARTS ensures the arts are part of every child’s education,” Ethridge said.

Honoring Our Heroes Greenville says thanks to its police officers and firefighters CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com

With the backdrop of a nation struggling with strained relations between law enforcement and community, Greenville said thanks to its heroes last Friday.

During the third annual Greenville Heroes: Serve and Protect Awards luncheon at the Hyatt, Greenville honored police officer Nate Phillips, who patrols the city’s central business district. During his five years on the force, Phillips has rescued people from the waters of the Reedy River, intercepted armed robbers in the beginning of a crime spree at convenience stores on Wade Hampton Boulevard and talked a suicidal subject into seeking treatment instead of ending his life in a congested area of downtown.

Greenville said thanks to Greenville firefighter Steven Dover, a 33-year veteran stationed at Eastside Station 6. Dover was fishing with his son on the Saluda River in July when he saw a young boy and his mom who had been swept away by the current. Dover and his son, Adam, rescued them without any floatation devices, instead using a tree branch to help them to safety.

“I can understand Steven putting his life in danger, but when he involved his son, he

said it was worth it,” said Greenville Fire Department’s Rick Williams. “He put their lives on the line because it was worth it.”

Greenville said thanks to the family of Allen Jacobs, the police officer who was fatally shot by a fleeing suspect on March 18.

Phillips joined the department at the same time as Jacobs, and the award recipient was among the first one on the scene after Jacobs was shot, applying a tourniquet to one of the downed officer’s arterial wounds.

“He did anything and everything to save the life of Officer Jacobs,” Police Chief Ken Miller said before presenting Phillips with his award.

And, finally, Greenville said thanks to the rest of the men and women who run toward danger while others run away from it with a video presentation featuring U.S. Sen. Tim Scott, U.S. Rep. Trey Gowdy and S.C. Supreme Court Judge John Kittredge.

“You tell a story about a dangerous world and nobody tells it better,” Kittredge said in a videotaped message. “The common thread is that you were born to do this.”

Before the awards presentation, community activist Yvonne Reeder said our community must have an environment that produces mutual respect for citizens and law enforcement.

“Our fire department and police have the awesome task of not only protecting us but themselves as well,” Reeder said. “We want to think of standing with and surrounding our first responders with a loving and watchful eye without fear.”

NEWS IN BRIEF USC Upstate bets on Greenville Greenville will play a key role in the University of South Carolina Upstate’s plan to increase its enrollment to 10,000 students by 2030.

While Interim Chancellor Mary Anne Fitzpatrick said details are still being worked out on how the school, with its main campus in Spartanburg and two satellite locations in Greenville, will nearly double the number of students it serves over the next decade and a half, she said USC Upstate will expand programs in Greenville.

“The expansion will be based on the region’s needs. We’ll be looking during the next month at where we think we’re going to place our bets,” she said. “There is certainly plenty of room to grow.”

Fitzpatrick, the vice president for system planning at the University of South Carolina, took over as USC Upstate’s interim chancellor on Aug. 1, replacing former chancellor Tom Moore, the end of whose tenure was embroiled with controversy. A permanent chancellor should be named by the end of the year.

USC Upstate has 6,000 students. Twenty percent of students enrolled at the school’s main campus and the George Dean Johnson

Jr. College of Business and Economics in Spartanburg are from Greenville. USC Upstate’s Greenville locations are the University Center, a consortium of seven universities housed in the former McAlister Square mall on Pleasantburg Drive, and 5,600 square feet on the second floor of an office building at 501 River St. In 2015-16, USC Upstate students took 2,591 classes at the University Center. Nursing was by far the most popular subject with enrollments of 843 students in the fall and 857 in the spring semester. Another 23 students took nursing classes this summer. The next most popular area of study was education.

This semester is the first time the River Street location is being utilized for classes.

The two being held this fall are art history and history, with a combined enrollment of 40 students.

“To some degree, the University Center and the new facility will act as special programs that fill an important local niche,” Fitzpatrick said.

Such a niche is the school’s urban and regional studies program, she said. “This program is at the core of our metropolitan mission,” she said. The new program will be unique in South Carolina. While Furman University and the College of Charleston have urban and regional planning programs,

those are a collection of courses from other fields of study. USC Upstate’s program will have full-time faculty and use downtown Greenville as its learning laboratory.

“There are a lot of career possibilities in city planning,” Fitzpatrick said.

Fitzpatrick said another example of filling a regional need is USC Upstate’s advanced manufacturing management program, which allows students with associate degrees in advanced manufacturing to earn a four-year degree to help them advance in their careers.

“People want to move forward,” she said.

Fitzpatrick said nursing is one of the school’s most important programs and it will be even more so in the future because the National Academy of Medicine, a nonprofit organization that provides advice to policymakers on health and science, has said nurses should be bachelor’s degree trained. While the institute can’t make demand that nurses be bachelors, Fitzpatrick believes eventually there won’t be any insurance reimbursement for care provided by those who are not.

“This program is extremely important,” she said. “It’s extremely important to our state. We are committed to helping to meet regional and state workforce needs.”

Similar opportunities are available in criminal justice and business, she said.

“There’s a whole series of pathways. We’re committed to helping students complete

their education in a reasonable time. This is the most important thing we can do to keep college affordable,” Fitzpatrick said.

Economists estimate that South Carolina needs 70,000 more college graduates by 2040, Fitzpatrick said. A total of 14,000 graduates have to be added to the state’s rolls every five years, she said. “This increase in college and advanced training graduates is vital to the economic future of South Carolina,” she said.

Help for Greenville police After a peaceful rally in downtown Greenville in July turned contentious when protestors threatened to shut down Interstate 385, Greenville Police Chief Ken Miller decided his officers needed more training in crowd control management that would make confrontations between law enforcement and protestors less likely.

That training is the first project that the new Greenville Police Foundation will fund.

The foundation is a nonprofit organization formed to provide grants to buy equipment, provide specialized training and fund employee recognition programs that aren’t covered under the police department’s budget.

Miller is familiar with police foundations.

Charlotte and Greensboro, both cities where Miller had worked before coming to Greenville, have police foundations.

“It can be used for anything that helps us accomplish our mission of making the city safer, reducing crime and enhancing the quality of life,” Miller said.

Donors may specify whether they want their contribution to fund a special project or be used by the foundation to provide grants to the Greenville Police Department. Individual, business and corporate donations made to the foundation are tax deductible.

“We’re like any other grant-making organization. The police department will have to present its case for funding,” said Jason Richards, president of the foundation’s board of directors. “The chief is not directing the funds.”

While Miller doesn’t direct the funds, he said the foundation could fund projects such as an emergency management portal that would allow authorities to know where every police, fire and EMS unit is so that commanders know where to direct resources and when.

When Miller worked in Charlotte, the foundation there paid for DNA analysis in cold cases by paying for overtime and the cost of lab analysis. A number of cases were cleared as a result, he said. In Greensboro, the foundation paid for a priority-offender monitoring program. Greenville is beginning a similar program, but startup costs are being paid with drug forfeiture money.

Miller said his department needs technology upgrades but those are not in the budget.

“We’ve got other big needs such as body cameras, bringing pay to competitiveness and

NEWS IN BRIEF facility needs. Those will consume the city budget,” he said.

Richards said there are a lot of competing interests – from sewer lines to repaved roads to parks - for city tax dollars and the foundation is a way to fund police department needs.- CL

More restaurant parking Shopping centers where restaurants exceed 25 percent of available floor space will have to have more off-street parking if they are adjacent to residential neighborhoods under new regulations that received initial approval from the Greenville City Council Monday night.

City Zoning Administrator Bryan Wood said current land use regulations call for one parking space per 650 square feet of shopping center space. But as shopping centers on the city’s corridors fill more of their space with restaurants, one parking space per 650 square feet isn’t enough to handle the number of cars and the excess spills onto residential streets, sparking complaints by neighbors. The city requires restaurants with seating and nightclubs or bars to have one parking space per 100 square feet.

“If shopping centers start putting in too many restaurants, they’re clearly below the minimum limit,” Wood told City Council members.

Under the proposed regulations, the minimum parking requirement for shopping centers adjacent to residentially-zoned land that have more than a quarter of its space leased by restaurants would be adjusted upward based on the square footage the restaurants occupy. For instance, if 25 percent of a 10,000-square-foot shopping center were restaurant space, the shopping center would have to have 25 spaces for the restaurant and 12 spaces for the rest of the space for a total of 37 spaces.

“We’ve had a number of issues in the North Main area and on Augusta Street,” Wood said.

Existing shopping centers that have too few parking spaces will be grandfathered, he said. Any application already filed with the city is subject to the ordinance in effect at filing, Wood said. That means applications filed before the new rules receive final approval would not have to adhere to the higher minimums for parking.

Wood said there is flexibility in the ordinance that allows the city to look at off-site parking within 600 feet of the use as long as people don’t have to cross a major street to get to their destination. The city can also consider valet services, he said.

Developers can reduce vehicle parking spaces by one for every six bike racks, installed up to three racks, Wood told Council.

Second and final reading of the new regulations is expected on Sept. 12. – CL

Kroc Center’s new director Steve Cook was raised on tennis courts MELINDA YOUNG | CONTRIBUTOR

myoung@communityjournals.com

Would you please tell us a little about your background with the Salvation Army in Greenville and who suggested building a Kroc tennis facility?

I came from a tennis family and was raised at a tennis center. My dad was involved in co-founding a large outdoor/indoor community tennis center in Michigan.

I played tennis for the University of West Florida in Pensacola, and I was a teaching pro for a number of years out of college and also a director of tennis at a couple of resorts and a country club. In 1986, I moved to Greenville, where I went into the real estate business.

The tennis center is part of the Kroc Center because a group of tennis enthusiasts saw a need for a community tennis center.

When the local Salvation Army received approval to build a Kroc Center, tennis people said, ‘Why don’t we build a tennis facility too, as part of the Kroc Center?’

In the Southeast, every community of similar size to Greenville has a public tennis

Will Crooks / Staff

The Salvation Army’s Kroc Center and Kroc Tennis Center opened in the late summer of 2011 with longtime tennis player, teaching pro and advocate Steve Cook as director of the tennis site. Under his guidance, the tennis facility quickly became downtown’s go-to tennis place, winning a national United States Tennis Association (USTA) Facility Award in 2014.

This past spring, Cook took over the mantle as director of the main Kroc Center, just in time to celebrate the Kroc Center and Tennis Center’s fifth anniversary. Since then, Cook has been in charge of the main facility – one of many Ray & Joan Kroc Corps Community Centers the Salvation Army runs nationwide – with its church, events and fitness programs.

The Greenville Journal asked Cook a little about his tennis career, the origins of the Kroc Center and future plans for the award-winning facility.

center. Most are municipal centers. While Greenville has some public tennis courts, it does not have a staffed tennis center, so we saw a need for that. Anyone can play tennis at the center through a membership or a day pass.

nity. We were among the first significant, nongovernment developments on this side of Academy Street.

Whenever you develop something that is beautiful and successful, you will tend to attract other developments.

The Kroc Center has ushered in many new developments to this western side of downtown Greenville. When the Salvation Army was looking for space to build the new fitness and tennis facilities, why was this area selected?

How many people have joined the Kroc Center and the Kroc Tennis Center? And why has the Kroc Tennis Center received the state and national awards?

Part of the criteria in building a Kroc Center, in the words of Joan Kroc, was “it had to be located between the haves and have-nots.” The Salvation Army really nailed that with our location on Westfield Street, adjacent to our thriving downtown central business district and the underserved westside of Greenville. We think we picked the perfect location for this community center, which is for the whole commu-

The tennis center has more than 700 members and a staff of 20, including eight teaching pros. The Kroc Center is about 3,200 members. Day pass members greatly increase the numbers. We’ve been honored to receive two wonderful awards. One is a South Carolina USTA Member Facility of the Year, awarded in 2015, and the Kroc Tennis Center also was named a USTA national facility in 2014.

One reason for the award is the Kroc Tennis Center does a tremendous amount

of outreach. We offer free tennis clinics and programming with a group of generous volunteers, generous with their time and talent. They’ve made our outreach happen, and we’ve provided as much as 4,500 student hours of tennis outreach each year.

Our challenge, and it’s a huge challenge, is to attract kids and community members who may not think of tennis as a sport they would be interested in. Tennis, like playing a guitar or learning a foreign language, is not a one-and-done kind of thing. It takes a lot of practice.

The other reason we won the award is because we have a lot of programming and our facility is beautiful in layout and design.

We have 16 courts, which is great for holding events. We host two large USTA events a year: a Kroc junior open in September and an adult Kroc classic in June. We do numerous USTA play days, and one piece that does so well is the league program. Last year, we had more than 200 USTA league teams, the largest I’ve ever heard of with

a center that has 16 courts. We’ve been successful because we have a great staff.

We have Anibal Braga, who is the greatest coach for kids and adults, a great mentor, a leader, and we have Patty Lauritzen, who is highly organized and beautifully coordinates the tennis house management.

Has the Kroc fitness center been overshadowed by the tennis facility and its success?

COMMUNITY can be rented. It has wonderful acoustics and aesthetics and holds 250 people. We also would like to increase the number of members who receive scholarships.

What we’re seeing is we were very fortunate with tennis and the word of mouth traveled well. We had invited a lot of people over to the tennis center before we were officially opened. My moving from the tennis center to the Kroc is partly because I saw the opportunity to bring more awareness to the Kroc Center.

with Paula Angermeier

A Bread Winner

School’s back in session, so it’s time to make apple bread Apple Bread with Cinnamon Brown Sugar Topping (Edna Lewis recipe with minor adjustments) Ingredients

Directions

Nonstick cooking spray

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray two small loaf pans or one 12-cup Bundt pan.

3 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 2 heaping cups of peeled and diced apples 2 cups packed light brown sugar 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil 1 cup granulated sugar 3 eggs 4 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup pecans, coarsely chopped 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1/4 cup milk

I’ve always loved this time of year; it’s just so full of promise. Sure, it’s still hot and humid, but the light is a tinge more golden in the late afternoons, hinting at the cooler days ahead.

After months of the lazy, carefree ways of

summer, I’m ready for a little structure, a little more routine. I’ve always been a sucker for a freshly sharpened pack of pencils, plaid skirts and apples. The back-to-school season isn’t as big of a deal as it once was for us.

Our youngest is a senior in high school, and her back-to-school supply list was practically nonexistent. Instead of choosing folders and pens, she’s laboring over college applications, and I’m reminded that next year we’ll be shopping for a dorm room. It makes me all the more determined to soak up this last year with her at home, whether she likes it or not. It’s bittersweet as children leave the nest; don’t let anyone tell you differently.

One thing on my to-do-with-Louisa-before-

Sift flour, cinnamon, soda and salt into a medium bowl.

Transfer 3 tablespoons of the flour mixture to pans and tilt to coat evenly. Place apples and another 2 tablespoons of the flour mixture in another medium bowl and toss lightly with chopped apples. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup brown sugar, vegetable oil, 1 cup sugar, eggs and 3 teaspoons vanilla. Using an electric mixer, beat until the batter is thick. Gradually add remaining flour mixture. Fold apples and chopped pecans into batter. Transfer to loaf pans.

Bake 1 hour or until cake tester comes out clean. Let bread cool in pan on rack.

Melt butter in heavy small saucepan. Whisk in remaining brown sugar, then milk. Whisk until smooth and add remaining 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Spoon topping over cake in pan and allow to stand about 15 minutes. Carefully turn loaves onto platters and pour remaining topping over. Let stand at least one hour before slicing.

she-graduates list is to head for the nearby mountains for some apple picking. For almost 20 years, it’s been a family tradition to take a trip to Flat Rock, N.C., to enjoy the harvest.

In the early days, the Mister and I carried our three kiddos in backpacks and baby carriers, and then as they grew we hauled them up and down the hills in wagons. Later, we tried to keep up with them as they darted through the rows of trees, looking for fruit. Before we knew it, their long legs loped alongside us and their strong arms carried the apple baskets for us. I’m not sure if all three will be able to

join us this year or not, but if the boys can clear their schedules, I’m promising a barbecue lunch, homemade apple bread when we get home and all the apples they can carry.

Coldwell Banker Caine Agents Named to REAL Trends “Best Real Estate Agents in America” List Three Coldwell Banker Caine agents (out of 93) and two teams (out of 74) were recently honored in the “Best Real Estate Agents in America” list for South Carolina in 2015, the newly issued ranking report produced by REAL Trends and sponsored by Zillow Group. Pat Loftis of Seneca (ranked 28), Jacob Mann of Greenville (ranked 36), and Francie Little (ranked 45) all received acclaim for their transactions last year. Mann also gained recognition as eighth in the state for volume, totaling $26,556,120.

The Lewis and Company team (formerly known as Ashley Lewis Team) ranked 19 of 74 in transactions with its team of eight led

by Ashley Lewis and Margie Scott. Cheves Mussman Ouzts ranked 70 of 74 with its team of three: Thomas Cheves, Steve Mussman, and Jamie Ouzts.

REAL Trends America’s Best Real Estate Agents ranks over 12,000 residential real estate professionals solely based on their excellence in real estate sales during calendar year 2015. All production numbers are independently verified by a third-party in order to ensure accuracy and report integrity. This group represents less than one percent of all real estate practitioners in the United States.

To qualify for inclusion, an individual agent must have closed at least 50 transaction sides or $20 million in sales volume in 2015. For real estate agent teams, the minimum is 75 transaction sides or $30 million in closed sales volume.

“It is an incredible honor and testament to the strength of our company to have 14 individuals honored as the best in our state,” said Stephen Edgerton, president and CEO of Coldwell Banker Caine. “We believe in the passions, ability, and dedication of our people and could not be prouder of their accomplishments.”

Barbara McFerron Joins Allen Tate Company Allen Tate Realtors, the Carolinas’ leading real estate company, is proud to announce that Barbara has joined the Easley office.

“We are delighted to have agents of such high caliber as Barbara. She exemplifies professionalism in every aspect of the real estate transaction. We are proud to attract such a talented professional and know that our clients will be served well,” said Gary Cohen, Broker in Charge of Allen Tate Realtors Easley office.

McFerron

McFerron joins a staff of 25 licensed Realtors in the Easley office and a large network of licensed Realtors throughout the Carolinas.

Since 1957, Allen Tate Realtors has focused on the needs of consumers by providing onestop shopping with choices in branches located in communities throughout the Carolinas.

Affluent Consumers Fascinated with Luxury Homes 6-9 percent of the buying public seek homes priced at $750K+ Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the definition of luxury varies from community to community and from person to person.

Regardless of demographic, luxury represents things of wealth and value that we desire and aspire to possess. Who doesn’t want a great new car or dream vacation?

For affluent consumers, a luxury home tops the list of desired possessions. At any given time, 6-9 percent of the buying public is seeking a luxury property. In the Carolinas, the luxury price point is defined as $750,000 or above; in other areas, such as New York and Los Angeles, the range is much higher - $2 million and above.

“Luxury properties generally remain on the market longer than other properties, simply because the available buyer pool represents less than 10 percent of all buyers in the marketplace,” said Pat Riley, president and CEO of Allen Tate Companies, in the July-August edition of Carolinas Market Update, a bi-monthly real estate video series.

Luxury buyers are more discerning of what they want – and there is little distinction between wants and needs, said Riley. Luxury buyers have no urgency to move, so they don’t have to buy quickly and they always have the option of building a custom home to meet their criteria. In many cases, luxury buyers chose to move simply because they don’t want the inconvenience of upgrading their current home.

In the Carolinas, it’s not uncommon for a luxury client to have a primary home and a second or even third home at the mountains or the beach, said Riley. And Americans make up a large percentage of those who own a home abroad – representing 37 percent of buyers in the Caribbean and 20 of buyers in Latin America.

Allen Tate represents buyers and sellers throughout the Carolinas, including luxury. A sampling of available luxury properties may be found in the company’s exclusive Online Luxury Magazine or by searching on allentate.com.

Carolinas Market Update is targeted to consumers in the Charlotte, Triad, Research Triangle and Upstate S.C. regions. It is produced every other month by the Allen Tate Companies and features information, statistics, trends and predictions about the real estate market in North and South Carolina.

Leo Twiggs: Crossing Over ARIEL TURNER | CONTRIBUTOR

aturner@communityjournals.com

Six larger-than-life NFL players and two coaches getting an exclusive fine art gallery tour seems the proverbial fish-out-of-water cliché come to life. For one thing, paintings generally hang with the centers 58 inches from the ground — not exactly eye level for a 6-foot-5-inch, or 77-inch-tall, quarterback.

And it’s also not really the type of story typical ESPN.com followers expect to pop up in their news feed.

But Panthers head coach Ron Rivera made both a reality recently when he invited his team captains and associate head coach Steve Wilks to privately view an exhibit titled “Requiem for Mother Emanuel”

by South Carolina artist Leo Twiggs commemorating the nine victims of the June 17, 2015, shooting in the Emanuel African

Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston.

The batik paintings, a method using dyes and wax on fabric, express the artist’s emotional reaction and journey through symbols and contrasting colors.

“I was hoping to get the whole sense of really what it means to go through a tragedy like this, and at the end of the day, be able to reconcile,” Rivera said in a video posted on the Panthers’ website. “The reconciliation of what happened and Leo Twiggs’ art, I think, really is a powerful statement for our young men. I think it was important that they get a chance to see that.”

Players Cam Newton, Luke Kuechly, Thomas Davis, Ryan Kalil, Charles Johnson and Greg Olsen attended the private tour of the nine paintings now on display at the Johnson Collection Gallery, 154 W. Main St., Spartanburg, until Oct. 28. Twiggs, 82, an Orangeburg resident with strong ties to

both Charleston and the Upstate, said the Panthers’ visit, especially, is meaningful for him as an artist.

“We think of football players as jocks who have a killer instinct, but they gave a very articulate response,” Twiggs said.

His work also caught the eye of Emmynominated film producer, director and writer Bradley Glenn, who is working on a documentary about the artist’s journey.

“Leo Twiggs is an important, surprisingly under-the-radar artist whose work only gains in relevance as time goes on,” Glenn said. “His ‘Requiem for Mother Emanuel’ paintings brim with a narrative that is both tragic and uplifting.”

Twiggs attributes the spreading popularity of his series to the fact that those viewing it are connecting with his emotions and motivation behind the pieces.

“I didn’t know I could convey what I was feeling,” he said.

That motivation and the outworking of it were never things he intended to share with the general public.

Twiggs’ Claflin University art teacher, Ar-

thur Rose, was a member of Mother Emanuel, as the flagship AME church is known.

Twiggs said he grew up in the church and knew the families affected.

Within a month and a half after the deadly shooting, he began to paint his emotions as

he worked through the grief he was experiencing. He also recognized the grace exhibited by the victims’ families and the statewide rallying together of previously opposing sides. The result, painting No. 1, was a white silhouette of the church against a deep indigo sky with a round target squarely in the center.

“The church was targeted,” he said.

Batik usually gives a soft-edged look because of the way the dye runs on the fabric, so Twiggs used standard blue painters tape to create the clean lines of the church roof.

It wasn’t until months later, but before the end of the year, that he contacted Greenville’s Hampton III Gallery curator, Sandy Rupp, about possibly selling the work. It sold immediately to an architect in Nashville through Rupp’s network.

Targets, the letter X and the Confederate flag have long been themes in Twiggs’ work.

The nine-painting series, representative of the nine victims, features those along with the number 9 figure and the church silhouette in a variety of hues and placements.

The second painting, No. 2, with the Confederate flag prominently featured on the church above the number 9, sold immediately also.

The third piece, a comparatively small 14-by-19-inch, was auctioned off at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston at the urging of board member Jennifer Whittle and her husband, Mack, who eventually purchased No. 4 in the series. Typically, artists’ works sell for undervalue at auctions, so Twiggs was reticent. But he went with it, and the painting sold for $13,500, much more than he ever anticipated.

Mrs. Whittle prodded Twiggs to continue the series to nine after seeing the overwhelming positive response.

“Once he finished a painting, it was sold,” Mr. Whittle said, attributing that to the story behind the artwork.

Not surprisingly, after Twiggs agreed to continue the series, pieces No. 5 through No. 9 sold as quickly as the first three. The final three were purchased by the Johnson Collection in Spartanburg while the others remain privately owned and on loan for the current exhibit.

Lynne Blackman, publican relations for the Johnson Collection, said that there is no plan to keep the series together permanently, but that the paintings all together are the artist’s fullest expression.

“The purpose of this work is the message of hope and reconciliation,” Blackman said.

“This was a shining moment for our state.

Seeing South Carolina at its best is important to the collection.”

Twiggs compares the final painting, No. 9, to the way Handel concluded his Messiah with the “Hallelujah Chorus.”

“What am I going to say to make this memorable?” Twiggs said he thought while painting Nos. 7 and 8.

He chose to use the words from “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” a poem written by James Weldon Johnson, and the official song of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to end the series.

The words “we have come” stand out, highlighting the struggle of the African slaves from the sardine-like conditions in the hold of the slave ships, to their reaching the deck

and realizing the sun setting in a different direction, to their seeking sanctuary in the church.

“Everyone sees the outside,” Twiggs said about Mother Emanuel. “But when you go inside you see the old wood, the warmth and the gigantic window in the back. The victims must’ve looked at it and seen it. It was their opening, their gateway to heaven.”

Texting and Drumming Veteran drummer Tez Sherard feels the funk at Gottrocks VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR

vharris@communityjournals.com

If you’re an Upstate music fan, you probably know who Tez Sherard is, even if the name doesn’t sound familiar. He’s played drums for a who’s-who of Upstate bands and performers, including bluesmen Ricky Godfrey and Mac Arnold, soul singer Jamie Wright and the Southern rockers Gypsy Souls. He’s even done a stint as part of Edwin McCain’s band. You may have even seen him sitting behind his drum kit sending people texts while playing, one of Big Tez’s signature moves.

But despite a busy schedule of gigs, Sherard has decided to take on a new project: a twice-monthly Funk Jam night at Greenville’s Gottrocks. Perhaps predictably, the only reason he has time to do it is because his regular Wednesday night gig with the Craig Sorrells Project came to an end.

After a year-and-a-half run, the Craig Sorrells Project recently played its last Wednesday night gig, giving Sherard a chance to create a different spin on the typical jamsession night. “I wanted to take things to a different level,” he says. “This is a jam that will have a house band but that will open up a platform for different artists to sit in with some of the premier players in town.”

The idea is for Sherard, keyboardist Rico Tyler, guitarist Troy House, saxophone player Chris Mitchell and vocalists Jamie Wright and Brandon Stevens to serve as both a backing band and as veteran musical statesmen for people just starting out on the Upstate music scene. “We have a lot of upand-coming musicians in town who haven’t

had a chance to really make their own blueprint for themselves,” he says. “They’re still learning. And how we learned was to sit in with some of the other cats around town. So I’m hoping to bring that old vibe back by creating a platform for up and coming guys to come sit in and see how it’s done.”

Sherard says he chose carefully when it came time to choose his players. “Rico was one of the original members of the Gypsy Souls,” he says. “He’s a phenomenal player and a walking encyclopedia of songs. He’s worked with a lot of different musicians, national figures and various members of James Brown’s band. He’s an older guy, and he knows the funkiest tunes you can think of. I hope it opens things up so we can do some songs you haven’t heard before. Chris Mitchell is a new cat, playing with a lot of people on saxophone, but he’s the band director at Powdersville Middle School. And Brandon Stevens is a singer with Chairmen of the Board; he’s a busy guy who’s going to step away and come sing with us for a bit. I’m hoping we can tap into some old-school Earth Wind and Fire, Tower of Power, AWB [Average White Band], stuff like that.”

This jam night, which kicks off Aug. 31, will be divided into two sections.

Sherard and Co. will play one set themselves then welcome whoever’s signed up to play with them during the second set. On the Wednesdays that Sherard’s band isn’t there, the Upstate band Milli Fungus will serve as the house band.

Sherard says that signup list will be relatively small, so that the people who sign up will have plenty of time to play. “When we start bringing people up, I want people to really be able to sit in, not just play one song and they sit down,” he says.

TRUE BLUES & FRIENDS, SCANSOURCE REEDY RIVER CONCERT SERIES Wednesday, Aug. 31, 7 p.m.

TD Stage, 101 W. Broad St., Greenville Free With nearly three decades under their belt, the Southern rock/blues band True Blues is an Upstate musical institution. And one of their longest-standing traditions has been playing the last Reedy River Concert Series show of the season. “We’ve been the last Reedy River concert every year for something like the last 25 years,” says True Blues drummer Joe Cash. “It’s kind of a standing gig.” But this year, instead of the standard quartet lineup, True Blues is doing something a little different. They’re recreating the Allman Brothers’ legendary “At Fillmore East” album, adding a few more people to emulate the Allmans’ powerful lineup. “We end up with seven people onstage, two drum sets, all the big hardware,” Cash says. “It doesn’t look like our typical little pitiful True Blues stage setup. For us, it’s just a huge amount of fun to be able to do that and do it well.”

REPEAT REPEAT, W/ CHEW & BENJI Saturday, Aug. 27, 9:30 p.m.

Radio Room, 2845 N. Pleasantburg Drive, Greenville $5, over 21 / $7, under 21 The Nashville trio known as repeat repeat make sure their guitars are cranked up to 11, meaning in this case that it sounds like there are 11 guitars layered on top of one another in their music, creating a jet-engine roar that immerses the listener. Then waves of guitars break to feature some incredibly nimble drumbeats and the sun-drenched vocal harmonies by singer/guitarist Jared Corder and his wife, singer/synth player Kristyn. “Our sound is a mash up of three different styles,” Jared Corder says. “Kristyn grew up on ‘60s pop like the Beach Boys and the Everly Brothers, so she had that influence. I grew up listening to more punk rock stuff. My first record was Green Day’s ‘Dookie.’ I loved that three-chord garage rock. Our drummer grew up listening to ‘90s alt-rock: The Gin Blossoms, Nada Surf and things like that. So I think that when we came together, we wanted to have these harmonies with that washed-out Mamas and the Papas kind of feel, but we wanted to have this really crunchy sound behind it.”

TOWN MOUNTAIN, W/ WPOS Friday, Aug. 26, 8 p.m.

Gottrocks, 200 Eisenhower Drive, Greenville $12 adv./$15 door Asheville’s Town Mountain, a hard-driving string/bluegrass band, has a couple of reasons to be excited about their musical trajectory right now. First off, they just finished up a tour sharing the stage with one of the more beloved and renowned figures in acoustic music, singer/guitarist Peter Rowan. “We were fired up about it,” says Town Mountain’s Robert Greer. “It was the first time we’d ever played with Peter, and he’s a hero of ours, so it was exciting. We were honored.” Secondly, the band is celebrating a new album, called “Southern Crescent.” Four-time Grammy Award-winner Dirk Powell produced the album, and Greer says the band is still buzzing from the experience. “Dirk says the word ‘vibe’ a lot. He’d send me pictures of the studio the night before we rolled in, saying, ‘The vibe is set. There’s a good feeling in this room,’ things like that,” he says. “He’s so full of knowledge, so creative, and he plays everything.”

CULTURE Sound Check Notes on the Music Scene with Vincent Harris

Wall of Sound

I.G.M. is a curious mix of NIN, Godspeed You! Black Emperor and a thunderstorm VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR

vharris@communityjournals.com

Perhaps “soundscape” is an overused term, but it’s difficult to think of any other word to apply to the music of Alexandria, Va.’s Ian McColm, aka I.G.M. His massive compositions hang in the air like storm clouds, mixing eerily calm, almost ambient, passages with sudden, jarring slashes of noise. Rhythm isn’t the point here; mood is king. On his recent split-EP release with fellow experimental artist Eric Benson (aka Lugweight), McColm creates sudden thunderclaps of jagged guitar noise over orchestral sounding backdrops. The vocals are like incantations; the beat, when there is one, is like a heart pounding in terror.

There are harbingers of this sound in some of Nine Inch Nails’ later work, and in the slow-moving epics of Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

But McColm’s music is darker and more focused on sheer impact. And given its expansiveness, it’s difficult to believe that it’s coming from a composer who isn’t playing his main instrument.

“When I was in college, I was primarily a drummer,” McColm says. “But I hit a breaking point my sophomore year where I was getting really fried on the drums as an instrument.”

So while pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in jazz studies at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in Ohio, McColm began writing guitar pieces for the first time. “It was a bit of an escapist pursuit,” he says. “The drums were becoming this regimented academic thing, and in order for me to continue on the drums in that sort of serious way, I looked to guitar for an instrument that didn’t have that baggage. And that opened up my harmonic sensibilities a lot.”

That guitar playing, in combination with his music theory classes, jump-started McColm’s compositional evolution. “It definitely made my ears grow,” he says. “[Music theory] planted the initial seed of thinking about composition and the harmonic content of the material I was writing at the time. And that opened up a lot of other instruments for me.”

Despite all of this, there’s no denying that McColm’s work has a percussive element to it. “It’s something I can’t really escape from,” he says. “A large part of how I understand music is rhythm. And whether that’s a more abstract thing and refers more to timing than meter, that’s how it manifests, especially when

I’m not dealing with stuff that has percussion.

It’s such an essential component to any of my composition or structure, even improvisation.

That being my background, I couldn’t really try to create something truly outside of that realm even if I wanted to.”

Greenville, in your inbox.

Improvisation is a key part of McColm’s songs, be it live or on record. “My goal is to set up structures and palettes of sound,” he says.

“And they may go in a certain order, and that’s the structure of the piece. I may even explore different harmonic territory within those sections, but usually there are a few variables that aren’t concrete in any given section, and that allows me to tailor it to whatever situation I’m in.”

McColm will be playing at Cabin Floor Records with Lugweight on Saturday, and he says his current performance setup is pretty minimal.

“In this set, it’ll be guitar and effects, which I’ve been working with on and off for five years.

But on top of that, I was recently given an iPad, and that gives you access to a lot of electronic sounds. It gives you incredible flexibility, so my main sounds are the guitar and the iPad running through different effects getting combined into one.”

I.G.M. w/ Lugweight When: Saturday, Aug. 27, 8 p.m.

Where: Cabin Floor Records, 504 Rutherford St., Greenville Tickets: Suggested $8–$10 donation at door.

Whenever author Judy Fogarty — a selfdescribed “rowdy” tennis fan — watches the U.S. Open tournament, she feels a personal connection.

“I feel like I know them. I know their personalities. I don’t like the racket abusers. I don’t like the whiners,” she says. “There’s so much emotion and drama in it. You see those things in their faces.”

Fogarty, a Savannah resident, will feel a deeper connection than usual when she watches the tournament next week, because her debut novel, “Breaking and Holding,” will be the only work of fiction available among the newspapers and magazines in the Players Lounge at Arthur Ashe Stadium, where players go to read and relax between matches.

The language of tennis, which Fogarty says is “perfect for fiction,” inspired the novel’s title. A “break” happens when a server loses the game, thereby “breaking” his serve. A “hold” is the opposite — the server wins the game, “holding” his serve.

But although “Breaking and Holding” is set against the world of 1970s competitive tennis, the title doesn’t just refer to the game — it “also refers to relationships and people that are broken and continue somehow to hold on,” says Fogarty. “There’s a lot of tragedy and a lot of loss, but all of the characters do hold on. They go through an awful lot in the novel.”

Much of the narrative happens during the summer of 1978, when Patricia Curren leaves New York City for a quiet summer on Kiawah Island, off the coast of Charleston, where she contemplates ending her marriage to her controlling husband. Her summer turns interesting when she meets Terry Sloan, a collegiate tennis player trying to turn pro.

For Fogarty, the ’70s were “the golden age of tennis,” with the great rivalries of Bjorn Borg, Jimmy Connors and John McEnroe.

“That was really when tennis became a popular sport for spectators,” she says. “They were still playing with wooden rackets. The men were playing in shorts that now seem so ridiculously short.”

“It’s a time that if you lived through it you’ll probably be a little nostalgic,” she says. “In this day and age, it can almost be considered historical fiction. But for young readers, it’s really enlightening — it’s got a lot about the pop culture, the fashion, the idiomatic language of the day. And of course, that was the ‘Me Decade.’ A lot of navel-gazing and the ‘If it feels good, do it’ philosophy. At the same time it touches on issues that it’s hard to believe are still here today — equal pay, the glass ceiling, women earning respect in the workplace and the ever-present work vs. home dilemma.”

Fogarty, who will read from and sign her book at Fiction Addiction on Saturday, will still be on the road when the U.S. Open starts next Tuesday. But wherever she watches, she won’t tone down her rowdiness.

“There’s a good bit of shrieking when somebody misses a shot,” she says. “At home my language gets to be quite like Terry’s in the novel. It’s very emotional to me.”

PARADE OF PERSONALITY

Golden Brown & Delicious gives familiar dishes a dynamic upgrade WORDS AND PHOTOS BY ANDREW HUANG | Andrew Huang is an editor-at-large of TOWN magazine. Follow his food misadventures on twitter and instagram @rooftoptales and #huangry

When I approached Alex George for a preview of his new restaurant Golden Brown & Delicious, I didn’t have high expectations.

Though I’d had his doughnuts at the Village Grind and sampled his small plates at First Fridays, I knew very little about what Golden Brown & Delicious planned to offer. All I had to go on was the vague outline of his concept: a breakfast-and-lunch spot in the Village of West Greenville.

Alex’s menu for the preview didn’t do much to spike my anticipation. There would be flatbread with assorted spreads, a salad, chicken and waffles, a burger and a shrimp roll — things that are already offered across Greenville in dozens of incarnations.

But there’s only so much a menu can tell you.

I began paying attention when George brought out the flatbread with three spreads: baba ghanoush, a spicy tomato sauce and whipped goat cheese dressed with olive oil and honey. This was far more elaborate than the standard appetizer I envisioned. For instance, I thought the baba ghanoush served as an interesting substitute for hummus. Indeed, they’re quite similar in color and mildness of flavor, but the baba ghanoush is also earthier and fuller-bodied.

The tomato sauce also surprises with a sharp nip of heat

on the back end. It resembles a punchy shakshuka rather than a run-of-the-mill tomato sauce. Meanwhile, the goat cheese delighted with an unexpected airiness, especially for something typically dense and rich. Even the flatbread itself circumvented expectations, resembling a Chinese pan-fried scallion pancake more than bread.

This parade of personality continued with the watermelon salad. Between the sweetness of the melon, the tanginess of the pickled onions and the salty crumbles of feta cheese, there was plenty of interest. Far from being boring rabbit food, this salad was playful and fresh.

The chicken and waffles also defied expectations with an impossibly thick and juicy fried chicken breast, a fried egg, bacon jam and maple hot sauce. Instead of a tug of war between sweet and savory, each bite was harmonious — somehow simultaneously sweet and savory. A teriyaki glaze was the first analogue I thought of.

On the other hand, the double-decker cheeseburger was a showcase for Alex’s house-made brioche. The bun — light and airy with just a hint of sweetness — provided a nice counterpoint to the hefty, meaty guts of the burger.

The shrimp roll, which also uses brioche as a vehicle, was the first letdown. Granted, it’s something Alex is still developing, but it’s the first thing in this preview that doesn’t make a well-defined statement. However, the shrimp is spot on. They’re firm, juicy and pop with each bite — the mouthfeel you’d expect from perfectly cooked shrimp. It’s just missing that last element that would make the roll truly memorable.

Granted, my meal at Golden Brown & Delicious was just a preview, but it’s already clear that there’s a playful undercurrent to their menu, one that is not afraid to toy with and upend standard formulas. Whether there’s unexpected dynamism in the flavors or unexpected references to other cuisines, Alex George doesn’t seem satisfied with churning out another salad, another burger or another incarnation of chicken and waffles. Though his starting points might be familiar, he certainly isn’t constrained by familiarity. And that is reason enough to look forward to this restaurant in the Village.

TUNES FOR EVERY TASTE AN EVENING WITH

Greg McPhee teases The Anchorage’s menu:

CHRIS THILE SEPT. 13

Veggies first

CHRIS HAIRE | EDITOR

chaire@communityjournals.com When Greg McPhee's The Anchorage opens its doors many moons from now in the Village, diners will discover that the one-time Highway 17 chef will have an unlikely star front and center at his restaurant: vegetables.

Mind you, The Anchorage isn't going to be a vegetarian restaurant — far from it. It's just that McPhee, like many others, has grown tired of the lard- and pork-dominated Pan-Southern trend that has swept the nation since Charleston chef Sean Brock launched Husk Restaurant in 2011 with McPhee by his side as his sous.

Much like the Pan-Southern acolytes, McPhee will be drawing from history, albeit in a slightly different manner. "There's my grandmother's food, but what you should really be focusing on is your grandmother's grandmother’s food before you had the readily available tubs of lard and Crisco and all of these things," he said. "Back when people couldn't afford to eat meat, they certainly were a whole lot healthier because they were forced to make vegetables the center of the plate. In Greenville, we have a really great farming community that can support that."

And when it comes to vegetables, none are nearer and dearer to McPhee's heart than broccoli rabe. "Grilled broccoli rabe and heirloom tomatoes and a little bit of sea salt is my favorite, which is good because we can actually grow it down here," he said.

McPhee also believes that one of the benefits to cooking in Greenville is the variety of different diners from outside the U.S. "You don't see it in the food scene, but when you break out the demographics, we've got a lot of people from a lot of different parts of the world. So I think we'll be able to go and use shoyu [soy sauce] or Chinese cooking wines and Italian ingredients, and we can procure a lot of those locally."

Of course, McPhee digs the pig just as much as the next guy. "Pork is really integral in just about any culture's cuisine just because it's so versatile, so we're definitely going to have pork options."

In addition to seasonal veggies and our delicious four-legged friends, McPhee isn't afraid to get wet. The Anchorage will feature some seafood — courtesy of the Lowcountry's much-heralded Abundant Seafood — and freshwater fish. Currently, he's eyeing Pickens’ High Valley Farms for trout, white bass out of Walhalla, and possibly even some caviar courtesy of an N.C. State University sturgeon farm outside of Boone, N.C..

Menkoi heads downtown CAROLINE HAFER | STAFF

chafer@communityjournals.com Menkoi Ramen House is opening its second Greenville location, this time downtown.

Owner Kazuhiro Sato and his family opened their first Menkoi Ramen House in Columbia’s Vista in 2009. Since then they have opened two other restaurants, one in Charleston and the other on Woodruff Road. Their downtown location will be on North Main in the former Dark Corner Distillery.

Menkoi offers traditional Japanese ramen with a broth and meat of your choice, noodles and a collection of green onions, spinach and boiled eggs.

“Downtown Greenville is beautiful and has a lot of people,” said Kazuhiro Sapo.

Their downtown location will open this winter.

A magazine for a new generation?

Or has it lost a generation?

Dear Playboy, You will never get this letter because you no longer publish letters to the editor. At one time, the very wording “Dear Playboy” was a cultural touchstone – sort of like “Dear Abby,” but much cooler. I’m pretty sure you don’t care what I have to say about your magazine.

In the months that led up to your change in editorial and pictorial direction, you made it clear that you have a new vision of what you think men like. At the heart of the matter, you don’t think heterosexual men want to see completely naked women. Really?

You recently sent me a renewal notice.

I reluctantly threw it away. I will always remember dropping that renewal card in the trash. It told me that times have changed, but I am very unsure this particular change is for the better. FYI, you have lost a devoted reader of more than 35 years. By most statistics, 35 years is a “generation.” That tells me something, and it might tell you something.

Playboy magazine is not for my generation, which I’m not ashamed to say is 50-plus.

But it saddens and disturbs me that Playboy has decided to only reach men of my son’s generation, the millennials.

The old Playboy targeted men from barely legal to barely breathing. All that was required was being a man. Actually, I know several women who enjoyed Playboy for its articles, attitude and, yes, even the photo spreads of brazenly naked women. Being a Playmate or Playboy Bunny was something for some women — certainly not all — to aspire to.

To be such was to be considered beautiful and desirable, worth the attention of popular culture and, yes, men. I personally know both a Playboy Bunny who wore the ears and bunny tail in the Chicago club, and a Playmate who was the subject of a pictorial essay, and both consider those experiences to be high points of their lives. No regrets. The Bunny once told me how her days at the club taught her valuable lessons about how to deal with people, especially men, in respectful, tactful and effective ways. The Playmate, now a grandmother, was more than glad to pull out the tattered magazine and show me her glory days.

In looking at the photo spreads in the new Playboy, I wonder where the photography directors are coming from. Just to make sure we all on the same page, Playboy magazine no longer publishes photographs of fully exposed

women. Playboy says that if you want to look at naked ladies, look on the internet – advice I have to wonder about considering the decline of print publishing. Great creative effort is put forth to photograph scantily clad or even nude women in the most unrevealing poses. Women are turned at strange angles, props are set up in strategic places, and contortionistic poses are required to obscure those parts now deemed too revealing. To make matters worse, the women are photographed with minimal makeup, lank hair, sad faces, and in locations I wouldn’t want my dog hanging out. Smoking a cigarette in a shadowy New York City parking garage? Are you trying to make these women look bad? If this is the new respect for women, I am certainly out of touch.

The old Playboy played a leading role in modern American and world culture.

Unapologetically, it sought to bring about a better life, a more informed life and a life with open sexuality. If anything, it was a celebration of life, something the new Playboy is not.

I miss Playboy’s Party Jokes, the full-page cartoons, the sage Advisor and even the party pictures of people and places I’ll never see in person. Yes, I used to read the articles, articles that were passionate, less than perfect, a reflection of real men. To thumb through the old Playboy would leave me feeling better about the world. It made me hopeful, and it made me smile.

I have a copy of the last old Playboy, January/ February 2016. On the cover is Pamela Anderson with big hair, big teeth and big breasts. She looks great. She is smiling. I like what I see. Unlike the April issue when the poor girl looks cockeyed and caught off guard – one of those bad transitional photos you would normally delete from your cellphone. I think I’ll be keeping Pamela’s issue for a long time. It will probably be a collector’s item.

I have no qualms about throwing the new Playboy into the recycling bin.
