A new governance model for Greenville Health System (GHS) is essential to achieve the scale required to remain competitive and independent in the new health care landscape created by the federal Affordable Care Act, GHS officials said in a wideranging discussion with the Greenville Journal editorial board this week.

GHS will never abandon its public mission, but must have the flexibility to forge partnerships previously closed because of GHS’ status as a public nonprofit, CEO Mike Riordan told the Journal.

The GHS board of trustees is exploring the option of shifting governance of the health system to a private, nonprofit board, which would operate the health system via a lease with the current board of trustees (called the legacy board). The legacy board would continue, as now, to be self-appointing with nominees approved by the Greenville County Legislative Delegation.

Some members of the legislative delegation have expressed concern over the proposed change, saying doing so without revising Act 432, the law that formed the board of trustees, would violate state law. Rep. Mike Burns and several other legislators have requested a S.C. Attorney General opinion on the legality of the governance change.

GHS officials told the Journal there is no impending deal spurring the proposed reforms, but the discussions are a response to the need to be flexible in face of the new reality created by the ACA and the industry response nationwide.

“We have to live within the environment that exists, we can’t exist apart from it,” board chairman Jim Morton said. The new structure would maintain GHS’ independence and local public mission, he said. “We’ve been talked about as a potential strong system to acquire … we want to be able to call our own shots.”

Without changing to a private nonprofit, GHS will be limited in the potential partnerships it could forge and could be forced into an undesirable merger, said Dr. Jerry Youkey, dean of USC School of Medicine-Greenville.

GROW TO SURVIVE The ACA’s new focus on maintaining the health of a patient population rather

than simply providing medical treatment for illness requires a significant infrastructure, Youkey said. The ACA has also imposed a cost structure on health care providers nationwide, focusing on quality over quantity and penalizing providers for readmissions and other measures, he said.

GHS needs to manage the health of about one million to 1.5 million people to “spread the cost over the infrastructure,” Youkey said. “You can’t spread that over a single system, even one the size of GHS.” Flexibility, public mission and partnership potential are important to GHS physicians, said Dr. Spence Taylor, vice president of clinical engagement and president of GHS Clinical University.

“If we don’t maintain the ability to keep flexibility with the governance structure … we’re going to be in trouble and we’re going to lose our docs,” Taylor said. “You’re going to become less and less relevant and have less flexibility to make the deals to maintain the Greenville Health System and its reputation. If the politicians get between us and caring for our patients, we’re not going to survive.”

Taylor cited the need for upgrades at Marshall I. Pickens Hospital for psychiatry as a potential partnership GHS could forge. An agreement with a for-profit provider could help with capital for infrastructure improvements and double the bed capacity—a critical need, he said.

“This is not about us limiting the Greenville Health System, this is about the survival of the Greenville Health System,” Taylor said.

ANOTHER GOVERNANCE CHANGE Precedence exists for the changes GHS envisions. Palmetto Health in the Columbia area went through a similar governance change in 1998 when Richland Memorial Hospital merged with Baptist Healthcare System of South Carolina to form Palmetto Health.

The Palmetto Health 16-member board of directors is a hybrid, including six members appointed by the Richland Memorial Hospital board of trustees and six by the Baptist Healthcare System of SC Inc. board of trustees, according to Palmetto Health’s website.

Palmetto Health’s CEO is a voting member and the 13 elect three additional members from the community at large.

GHS board moves forward with $2.2B budget Officials say health system will create 564 new jobs APRIL A. MORRIS | STAFF

amorris@communityjournals.com This week, the Greenville Health System’s (GHS) board of trustees’ planning and finance committee approved a $2.2 billion 2016 budget for consideration by the full board on Tuesday.

The budget includes 564 new jobs, including 43 physicians, said GHS Treasurer Greg Rusnak, bringing total employment to more than 15,000 people. GHS is anticipated to experience 1.8 percent growth, Rusnak said.

Chief Financial Officer Terri Newsom said the system must continue to monitor spending and is working to address charity care away from the emergency department and to other programs like the Healthy Outcomes Plan, which

«

Memorial Hospital board are recommended by Richland County Council.

Legislative involvement in the approval of board members is a sticking point outside Greenville County, said GHS board chairman Jim Morton. In the last two GHS mergers with Laurens County and Oconee County hospitals, the Greenville County Legislative Delegation ended up approving board members from other counties, a process “that wasn’t simple,” he said.

“Local politics can’t drive the selection of board members over a large geography,” Youkey said.

“We are the anomaly,” said Taylor about the GHS governance structure. He noted a potential partnership with North Greenville University on a physician assistant program that fell through because public dollars could not go to a private, religiously affiliated entity.

Youkey said GHS needs “the flexibility to partner with other entities that we have a hard time doing right now. We could get the Legislature to pass a special bill for [each] deal, but that’s not how health care is consolidated.”

REMAINING PUBLIC Taylor said GHS health care providers are passionate about the system’s public status, and “I really think we would lose docs if we basically left the public mission.” He said the existing legacy board would ensure

helps uninsured patients find care.

GHS has approximately 1,800 charity applications per month, officials said.

Capital projects, both ongoing and new, total $111.1 million. One of the largest outlays is for the Epic electronic medical records and revenue system and peripherals at Laurens and Oconee at $30.4 million.

Other projects include the Verdae location expansion by 14 providers and 36,000 square feet, two new Patewood operating rooms, University Medical Group growth and a pharmacy distribution center.

Ongoing projects include Marshall Pickens upgrades, expansion of Simpsonville MD360 and primary care, Spartanburg multispecialty ambulatory care center and a surgical pre-assessment center.

Dr. Jim Ellis, medical director of the University Medical Group, said this year’s budget was an “arduous process” under the stress of the Epic IT costs.

The full board of trustees will consider the budget on Sept. 29. continued public accountability.

“If that board is not happy with the way things are going, they reserve the right to change things,” Taylor said. “There’s a public oversight, but there’s the flexibility of a private model. And it’s all done through the lease.”

If the legacy board ever feels the nonprofit board is not meeting the health care needs of the residents, it can meet with the nonprofit board, let the lease agreement lapse or take legal action, Morton said. Litigation is the final stopgap, but “you only get to litigate if you can’t work it out through discussion,” he said.

When asked if GHS would ever consider buying out the initial public investment in the GHS system, Riordan said, “We acknowledge and see the investment historically taxpayers have made in our system. We see that as a set of dollars that we would allow this legacy board to reinvest in our community … we also won’t go back to the taxpayers” for more funds under the new governance model.

Riordan said GHS officials will continue to meet with community groups both to hear from them and explain the rationale and vision behind this proposed change. The board of trustees will meet on Sept. 29 in the boardroom at 300 E. McBee Ave., Greenville.

OPINION VIEWS FROM YOUR COMMUNITY, HEARD HERE

The flywheel paradox IN MY OWN WORDS

by David Dixon

In his book “Good to Great,” author Jim Collins developed an outstanding visual in describing the “flywheel effect” – the notion that significant energy has to be initially expended with infinitesimally small returns in order to get the wheel turning of its own accord and create sustained momentum to achieve real productivity.

It is hard to argue with the profound logic of the flywheel principle and its simple truth is manifested in most human endeavors. Yet in two specific examples in modern political debate, opposite sides are advancing that the principle applies to their point of view but, paradoxically, not the other side. Citizens should reason together and see the truth of how this simple principle can help America.

First, climate change. Those who claim that climate change is the most significant threat to our nation acknowledge that the expected result of regulatory changes will achieve an infinitesimally small result

over the next decade, but enacting the changes are entirely necessary to save the future. Those who argue against climate change regulation suggest that it is ridiculous to enforce such drastic measures for such a marginal benefit – the immediate effect on those receiving the benefits of a growing economy is simply too drastic.

Second, fiscal policy change. Those who claim that runaway spending and growing debt are the most significant threats to our nation acknowledge that the expected result of minor across-the-board spending cuts will achieve an infinitesimally small result over the next decade, but enacting the changes are entirely necessary to save the future. Those who argue against spending cuts suggest that it is ridiculous to enforce such drastic measures for such a marginal benefit – the immediate effect on those receiving the benefits of federal programs is simply too drastic.

Oddly, many people today don’t think deeply enough to see the paradox of these four positions. Each camp advanc-

Drawn Out Loud WITH KATE SALLEY PALMER

es the merits of the flywheel principle when advocating for their hot issue, while vehemently denouncing the same principle when arguing against their opponents’ hot issue.

At the local level, people argue over similar issues like education reform, infrastructure funding and tax policy, while defying the truth of the flywheel principle. But that’s modern politics; everyone crowds into the shallow end of the pool.

Both climate change and fiscal policy

change should be supported in reasonably small steps with the sure knowledge that substantive change will eventually come to fruition to the benefit of all citizens. Progress begins with a mindset.

Start the wheels turning. Gain momentum. See results that our grandchildren will thank us for.

When your car is held for ransom IN MY OWN WORDS

by Deveren Werne

Ever had your computer held for ransom? A message pops up on your laptop screen reading, “We will give you the code to unlock your computer if you pay us $300, and if you don’t pay, we will delete all your files.”

Now this phenomenon can occur with your car. Yes, you read that correctly – your car can be hacked and held for ransom.

I suppose that this was inevitable.

Your computer, phone, tablet, appliances and car are all connected to the Internet or a network of some sort. Since 2008, most cars have been equipped with onboard computers. Nearly everything is monitored from GPS, oxygen sensors and air pressure sensors to a dongle provided by insurance companies to monitor driving habits to qualify for a “good driver discount.” The dongle, which plugs

into the OBD-II diagnostic port, collects data on miles driven, what times of day a vehicle is in operation and how hard

a driver brakes. In exchange for this data, prudent drivers can receive discounts as large as 30 percent off their premiums.

Having all of this technology in our autos can provide some great benefits.

Unfortunately, these benefits may not be best for our safety. In 2013, both a Ford Escape and Toyota Prius were hacked by two DARPA-funded security researchers who spent months hacking into the systems and terrifying each other with tricks, including slamming on the brakes

or hijacking the steering, with digital commands from a laptop plugged into a standard data port under the dash.

Now just two years later, the hacking has gone wireless and hackers no longer need the car data port.

Security research authority Corey Thuen stated in an interview with Forbes magazine, “The firmware running on the dongle is minimal and insecure.

It does no validation or signing of firmware updates, no secure boot, no cellular authentication, no secure communications or encryption, no data execution prevention or attack mitigation technologies ... basically it uses no security technologies whatsoever.”

On Aug. 11, hackers were able to cut a Corvette’s brakes via a common dongle used for Metromile, a permile insurance company that tracks vehicle mileage (if you drive less, you pay less). One security expert stated, “The security deficiencies are numerous for these dongles and there are no security measures in place to protect the common consumer from knowing that their car is vulnerable to attack.”

The use of the vulnerable dash dongles will extend past typical consumers – an executive order in March called for federal fleets of more than 20 vehicles to use the dongles to improve vehicle efficiencies.

Eventually all vehicles may feature a black box tracking device capable of reporting real-time vehicle location, speed and mileage directly to federal authorities – just another point of access for a hacker.

Our planet is shrinking on a massive scale due to technological advancements. I, for one, am the first to yell, “Let’s go forward,” but I don’t want HAL running my life or my safety compromised by another person when driving.

A word of advice? Be careful what you install and connect to the Internet. If it can be connected, it can be hacked, will be hacked or has been hacked.

Greenville’s backyard playground

By the numbers

0.4 miles

Expanding Paris Mountain State Park offers nearby escape

length of Fire Tower Trail, the shortest hiking and mountain bike trail in the park. It climbs 400 feet in elevation.

CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com When Kenny Avery needs to escape city life, he heads to Paris Mountain State Park, a getaway that’s a mere six miles from downtown Greenville but gives the feel of a place a lot further away.

It’s a place he remembers spending hot summer days swimming in Lake Placid as a child. He remembers camping there with his own children. Now, he tries to hike along one of the park’s nature trails at least three days a week to get some doctor-ordered exercise.

Paris Mountain State Park is Greenville’s backyard, a playground for people who like to enjoy activities out in nature such as hiking, mountain biking, camping, paddling, fishing, bird watching and, in season, swimming.

The backyard is about to get bigger.

The state park system should complete the process of accepting a 160.4-acre parcel adjacent to the park’s southwest boundary from the nonprofit Paris Mountain State Park Friends by the end of the year, said Phil Gaines, director of South Carolina State Parks. Through its “More Park, More Play” campaign, the Friends group raised $1 million to buy the land that had been used as a private family retreat for generations.

“We hope this is a trend to grow parks and not infringe on them or distract from them,” said Stephen Gray, president of the Friends group. “To have a remote setting like Paris Mountain State Park so close to an urban area is so unusual. You feel like you’re in the middle of the Pisgah Forest without the hour-and-a-half drive.”

KEY ROLE IN GROWTH Paris Mountain has always played a key role in Greenville’s growth, first as a magnet to it and now as an escape from it.

The Cherokees once hunted along the mountain’s streams. After the Revolutionary War, patriot soldiers were given land grants as payment for their wartime service.

In the late 1880s, city leaders enlisted Philadelphia-based American Pipe Company to create a water system under the name of Paris Mountain Water Company.

Mountain Creek was harnessed to create a reservoir. In 1898, a second reservoir, now known as Lake Placid, was created.

eer in 1898 said the two lakes would provide Greenville more water than it would ever need, said Cathy Taylor, the park’s naturalist.

But Greenville kept growing. Two more reservoirs were built before Table Rock reservoir became the city’s primary source of water in 1930.

The city gave the Paris Mountain watershed to the state for the creation of Paris Mountain State Park, South Carolina’s second state park. The Civilian Conservation Corps built the original buildings. Its heritage can still be seen in the preserved stone and timber outside the park’s

Paris Mountain Yacht Club The property that may become part of Paris Mountain State Park was once owned by an organization known as the Paris Mountain Yacht Club.

The Feb. 14, 1937, Herald-Journal said Greenville County “lays claim to the distinction of having in its rugged area the first and only yacht club on a high mountainside since old Noah pulled in his gangplank.”

The existence of the Paris Mountain Yacht Club, founded by four prominent Greenville citizens, became known when C. Fred McCullough, former city alderman, was initiated as “seaman ordinary,” the article said.

Other charter members and officers are V. Broadus Bailey, commodore; D. E. McCuen, vice-commodore; DuPont Guerry, rear commodore; and John W. Arrington, Jr., bursar.

The club’s membership was restricted to the five original members, the article said.

Things to do HIKING: From 0.75-mile mostly-level loop around Lake Placid to the strenuous Sulphur Springs trail, there are 15 miles of trails throughout the park.

MOUNTAIN BIKING: Most of the park’s trails are available to mountain bikers – but not on Saturdays. Mountain bikes are not allowed in the park on that day.

PADDLE BOAT/CANOE/KAYAK RENTALS: Available every day but Monday through mid-August and on weekends only in the spring and fall, depending on weather and availability of lifeguards. Private boats are not allowed.

SWIMMING IN LAKE PLACID: Weekends only until June 12. Every day except Mondays in the summer.

Weekends only from Aug. 17 through Labor Day. FISHING: Lake Placid and Reservoir #3 have bass, bream and catfish. A valid South Carolina fishing license is required.

CAMPING: 39 sites, 13 with tent pads. $18-$19 per site per night, minimum of two nights Make reservations at 1-866345-7275 or bit.ly/paris-mountain.

CAMP BUCKHORN: Camp lodge has lodging for 40 people, full kitchen, meeting room. In addition to the lodge, there are 10 primitive cabins available.

MUSIC IN THE WOODS: Local bands play acoustic music in the park’s amphitheater every Saturday in September and October from 2 to 4 p.m.

tation is steady throughout the year and on all days of the week, Gaines said.

“That is a unique quality of the park.

It’s in season every season,” Gaines said.

“It speaks volumes for how much Paris Mountain is loved.”

But all that love can present challenges. At times, especially on the weekends in the spring and fall, Paris Mountain runs out of parking spaces and visitors must wait until somebody else leaves before they are allowed into the park.

Two of the park’s biggest user groups are hikers and mountain bikers. Mountain bikes are not allowed in the park on Saturdays and the rest of the days, mountain bikers must maneuver around

hikers and walkers.

“Maybe we can use the new land as space to offload some of that pressure on the trails and allow both groups use of the park on both days of the weekend,” Gray said.

PUBLIC INPUT After the state accepts the land into the state park system – and Gaines expects nothing to stand in the way of that – public input will be sought from park users and community members.

Gaines said he could see more multiuse trails and reforestation in the new land’s future. “People want us to expand the trail system. We’ve heard that loud

New land proposed for Paris Mountain State Park

and clear.” But what the park system doesn’t want to do is add amenities its infrastructure can’t support.

“This is a legacy piece of property. It’s a once-in-a-generation acquisition,” Gaines said. “It’s almost a blank canvas and that opens up the possibilities of grant funding.”

Gaines said once public input is gathered, a master plan will be created. That plan likely will be phased in as funding becomes available.

Avery, who lived in Greenville before moving out to the Travelers Rest area, said he looks forward to the possibilities.

“This is just such a treasure for Greenville,” he said. “A big, big treasure.”

Legislators sound off BENJAMIN JEFFERS and APRIL A. MORRIS | STAFF

Greenville Journal staff polled members of the Greenville County Legislative Delegation about the potential Greenville Health System governance change (see page 4).

Here are a sample of their responses.

Sen. Ross Turner (R), District 8: “I’m just not going to say it’s not a good idea until I have all the information.” He said he wants a plan that will “position the Greenville Health System to still be relevant in the next 10 to 20 years.”

Rep. Phyllis Henderson (R), District 21: “I am still looking at it, but I am inclined to support.” The change will help GHS be “strong and viable” in the future, she said.

Rep. Dan Hamilton (R), District 20: “Health care is increasingly more complicated than when that law [Act 432] was written.” Legislators may need to look at Act 432 and consider some revisions. His concern is that GHS be accountable to the constituents.

Comparison of hotel occupancy rates

bjeffers@communityjournals.com Hotel occupancy rates in Greenville, one of the metrics VisitGreenvilleSC uses to determine economic success, exceeded the average rate in the Southeast by seven points through July of this year.

Jennifer Stilwell, the tourism agency’s chief marketing officer, told City Council members Monday that a 1 percent increase in hotel occupancy rates translates to an additional $29 million spent in the area.

According to VisitGreenvilleSC, Greenville hotel occupancy rates were 74 percent from January to July.

During that same period, the state had an average rate of 64 percent, and the

Southeast region had a rate of 67 percent.

The United States as a whole also had a rate of 67 percent.

Last year, Greenville averaged its highest-ever rate with a 70 percent occupancy rate, Stilwell said. The rest of the state averaged 61 percent.

“Keep in mind we’re a noncoastal, a non-beach, a non-golf product and we’re running at a 70 percent occupancy, so… this is definitely reason to be celebrating,” Stilwell said. As a comparison, Charleston tends to run 2 to 3 percentage points higher than Greenville, she said.

July 2015 had a record downtown occupancy rate of 83 percent, Stilwell said.

Two events helping to boost economic activity in Greenville this year were the Bassmaster Classic in February and Living Proof Live with Beth Moore in July, said Joseph Kramer, VisitGreenvilleSC vice president of sales.

The city invested $400,000 for the Bassmaster Classic and saw a return on investment (ROI) of $42 for every $1 spent by the city, Kramer said. For Living Proof Live, the city invested $30,000 and saw an ROI of $54 for every dollar, he said.

bjeffers@communityjournals.com Greenville residents may soon be able to use their smartphones to find the exact location of the downtown trolley. Code for Greenville, a volunteer based organization, released a beta version of an app to track the trolleys along their routes.

The app will show trolley routes, a map, the location of the trolley and the location of the person using the app.

Adam Gautsch, cofounder of OrangeCoat web design company, said the app will be available for iPhone and Android devices, as well as the web.

He said the group is being cautious before announcing the final product. “What we don’t want is to announce it with a big bang and it not be useable to most people,” he said.

Though the app is still in the testing stage, Gautsch said it could be ready in as little as a month if everything functions correctly over an extended period of time.

A core group of about 10 people have worked on the app for a year, and other volunteers have worked on parts of the app during that time.

Gautsch said the idea started about a year ago when members of Code for Greenville were discussing projects that would help the community but also be within the scope of their ability to complete.

“Transportation is an important issue for cities of Greenville’s size,” he said, and people often say they would ride the trolley if they knew where it was.

The app works via a tablet on each trolley that sends out the location during operating times.

Greenlink has been helpful in providing information throughout the process, Gautsch said. Eventually, the app could have features such as showing photos of each route stop or letting people set a five-minute warning alerting them when the trolley is approaching, he said.

The goal is “just to make it easier for people to ride the trolley,” Gautsch said.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF SCHOOLS AND CITY REACH TIF AGREEMENT Greenville County Schools and the City of Greenville have reached an agreement on the reallocation of tax revenue for two tax increment financing (TIF) districts established by the city.

TIFs provide local governments a means to generate revenue for redevelopment and infrastructure in blighted areas. Once a TIF district is established, tax revenues for properties within the district are frozen for other taxing entities, such as school districts, for a specified period of time. The other taxing entities do benefit as development gradually replaces blight.

The city established TIFs in the Central Business District and West End in 1987 and Viola Street in 1998. The CBD TIF expires in 2021, while the West End TIF was scheduled to expire the year after and the Viola Street TIF in 2028.

The school district claimed the city completed the projects described in the redevelopment plans and ordinances, and revenue in excess of what is needed to pay the debt service bonds was surplus.

In the agreement, tax revenue in two of the TIFs – the central business district and the West End – will be reallocated. Beginning in 2017, the school district will receive additional tax revenue from the two districts. The city will use its allocation of tax revenue from the districts for public improvement projects downtown.

Once a TIF ends, all governmental entities resume collecting taxes at the properties’ current assessed value.

The Viola Street TIF will end on June 30, 2016, and the city will conclude the West End TIF a year early under the agreement.

Since the formation of the TIF district downtown, property values have increased 465 percent. Property values in the West End increased 753 percent. Property values throughout the city during that time have increased 201 percent.

School board chairwoman Lisa Wells recused herself from the discussion of the agreement at Tuesday night’s school board meeting because she is employed by the city. The City Council approved the resolution and agreement at a special called meeting Tuesday as well.

CLEMSON PROFESSORS HELP NASA PREP FOR MARS TREK Talk about a long road trip.

Astronauts on 2030’s first-ever manned space mission to Mars will have a 70-million mile trip that will last three years.

Two Clemson University psychology professors, Tom Britt and Marissa Shuffler, will provide NASA with recommendations considering the health and performance of the astronauts for the 36-month journey.

Britt and Shuffler are in the first phase of study for the Mars mission. Britt is researching meaningful work as a potential antidote to extended boredom in isolation.

Shuffler is focusing on the dynamics of multiple teams working together.

Design work has begun on Orion, the space capsule that will likely have less than 320 cubic feet of habitable space for two to six crewmembers.

Britt said his initial research would look at what can offset the monotony and boredom of being confined to a small space for such a length of time. Travel time to and from Mars is expected to be a year, and the astronauts will spend two years living on the planet. Britt will analyze previous research and the operational assessment of astronauts.

Shuffler said she’s examining the dynamics between Mission Control and the astronauts and leadership. She said in a mission of this magnitude, most of the people involved have to be leaders at some point. But sometimes leaders have to switch to become followers, and that can be a challenge.

GREENVILLE POLICE GET $94K GRANT FOR BODY CAMERAS The U.S. Department of Justice, through the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), awarded the Greenville Police Department a $93,750 grant to help with funding for the program to implement body cameras.

In June of this year, the South Carolina Legislature passed a law that will require police agencies throughout South Carolina to implement body-worn cameras.

The Greenville Police Department applied for the grant to help it develop its program throughout its uniformed field operational force.

The grant will fund part of the total program costs of $260,434. Some or most of the city’s expenses should be eligible for reimbursement from the state body-worn camera fund, the department said.

“We believe that the addition of body-worn cameras is an important step forward in preventing conflict in policing our community, reducing the demand and severity of necessary force, resolving conflicting perspectives in incidents, and de-escalating tension,” Police Chief Ken Miller said. “While they may not capture every event or every angle of an event, they can be infinitely more useful and valuable than in-car cameras in evaluating interactions between the police and public.”

sidered “work ready,” according to ACT WorkKeys, the state’s new test given for the first time last spring.

WorkKeys replaced the state’s high school exit exam.

The test has three parts – applied mathematics, locating information and reading for information – and is supposed to be a more effective measure of a student’s career readiness. Students earn a National Career Readiness Certificate based on their score.

In Greenville County, 89.2 percent of students earned a bronze certificate or higher.

To earn a bronze, a student must earn a level three or higher on all exams. In Greenville County, 20.9 percent of testtakers earned a bronze.

More than 40 percent of GCS students receive a silver certificate for scoring a level four or higher on all exams.

Gold certificates were give to 27.1 percent of GCS students for earning level five or higher on all exams, while 0.9 percent earned a platinum certificate for scoring level six or higher on all exams.

Developing a green thumb Disabilities Board launches garden project APRIL A. MORRIS | STAFF

amorris@communityjournals.com Clients of the Greenville County Disabilities and Special Needs Board (GCDSNB) are offered multiple work opportunities, and they now have the chance to cultivate. This spring, DSN launched a garden project to offer horticulture therapy to clients, said Elise Hardin, director of day services.

Preparations of the site have been going on for more than 12 months and the beds now feature pumpkins, watermelons, tomatoes and towering loofah plants. “It expands our program by several acres,” said Hardin.

Clients who may not be able to work in other areas can turn the soil, tend the plants and harvest while learning about horticulture and cultivation, she said.

“They get to be outside in a beautiful place and learn about the flowers and the plants,” said Hardin.

In the coming seasons, the garden will move toward selling crops and potentially selling at a local farmers market, add-

ed Hardin. Though The Generous Garden Project is in the process of dissolving its corporation, GCDSN is continuing its brand and has received donated supplies, equipment, a greenhouse and tractor, she said.

The garden outside the DSN administration building on Ridge Road is a collaboration with Feed and Seed, Culinary Partners, Clemson University Cooperative Extension Service, Trees Greenville and Greenville CAN. “The Generous Garden project at Greenville County DSN Board is an opportunity for our individuals with disabilities to work outdoors, learn

how to grow local produce and get connected to the greater Greenville community. The project helps provide access for people who need fresh produce and food at lower prices,” said GCDSNB executive director John Cocciolone.

Board chairman Alex McNair said that the garden has allowed the agency to develop relationships with other organizations, including Leadership Greenville.

“The individuals learn new skills and give back to the community where they live, work and play. It is a great partnership,” Cocciolone said.

Top left: Elise Hardin, director of day services with Greenville County Disabilities and Special Needs Board (GCDSNB), leads a tour of the new Generous Garden space where clients can work to grow produce and learn horticulture.

Doll devotion American Girl Fashion Show benefits nonprofit giving dolls to foster children APRIL A. MORRIS | STAFF

amorris@communityjournals.com Young girls coming into group foster homes arrive with few possessions and most likely no toys. To give girls in group care comfort and love, Frank and Sandra Hubbard discovered a way to make the upheaval a bit better – a doll of their own.

The couple founded the Butterfly Ministry for Girls, which donates the popular American Girl dolls to girls in group care.

The Hubbards had hosted a history program at the Easley library starring the American Girl dolls, which feature girls from different times in history and come with a book about that time period.

“At first they thought they would give away one a year,” said Ryan Kouvolo, marketing coordinator for the Butterfly Ministry. Since 2011, the Butterfly Ministry has donated more than 300 dolls to girls in their 14 partner group homes.

Girls 6 years old and younger receive a woven doll and older girls get an American Doll of their own, change of clothes, book, quilt crafted by a local group, a Bible and bag to hold it all, said Kouvolo.

The nonprofit now receives doll donations from all over the country and tries to match the doll with each girl.

“Children are becoming more included in education and daycare environments as we spread awareness,” she said.

Research has also helped to address health concerns like thyroid issues and sleep apnea, common co-conditions of Down syndrome, she said.

a unique community in how they embrace disabilities and nonprofits in general.”

On Oct. 4, the community is invited to the Buddy Walk for a family-friendly stroll, children’s activities and to learn more about the abilities of those with Down syndrome, Walter said.

The event also serves as the primary fundraiser for the Down Syndrome Family Alliance, which offers support, information and parent orientation packets. The organization serves up to 100

families in the Upstate; however, Walter estimates that 300 could be served.

The Buddy Walk will also feature live music from the West End String Band and The Sound Committee Band along with inflatables, games and food.

Attendees are not required to walk, but can form teams and fundraise.

“We’re finding more and more people embracing the abilities and uniqueness and the differences in these children and identifying how they can be successful – how they can be valuable components of the community,” Walter said.

While cake is still hot after baking, poke holes in the top of the cake with a fork or skewer, then drizzle sticky sauce ingredients over the cake as evenly as possible.

When the cake is cooled, sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Note: If you want to make it a cake with frosting, omit the sticky sauce and powdered sugar and use cream cheese frosting instead. You can make it into a beautiful layer cake by tripling the batter recipe, making three round cakes, and layering with cream cheese frosting.

The exterior of Lisa Perkinson’s downtown Greenville James Street home is a traditional colonial revival dating back to 1923. The interior, however, melds the past and present with antique pieces alongside an eclectic art collection ranging from folk art to traditional paintings.

Perkinson’s home is one of five open to visitors during the Guild of the Greenville Symphony’s Tour of Homes Oct. 2-4. In addition to three of the oldest homes in Greenville, two new homes are featured as part of the 2015 theme, “North Main: Now and Then.”

As she walks through the two-and-ahalf story home, Perkinson talks about her favorite aspects of the house believed to be designed by Willie Ward, including original, still-working radiators and original bathtub and sink. Pharmacist Dr. Robert M. Dacus was the first owner of the home and had a small office upstairs, said Perkinson.

Greeting visitors at the front is what Perkinson laughingly calls the “faux-yer” –too small to be called a foyer, she said. A colorful folk art mural filled with bright flowers and crowds of people is on the walls just inside the front door.

In addition to the artwork, Perkinson has sought out antiques to furnish the five-bedroom home. After a protracted search, she discovered the perfect grand table for one of the large rooms. “I sold my car and bought this dining room table,” she said.

Along with Perkinson’s, homes on North Main Street, West Mountainview, Paddington Avenue and James Street will be open for the tour. Proceeds from the tour benefit the Greenville Symphony Orchestra.

R E A L E S TAT E N E W S Home Buying Process Involves Greater Technology, Realtor® Use

Even though more consumers are using the Internet as a tool during their home search, buyers are increasingly utilizing the knowledge and expertise of a real estate agent, according to the National Association of Realtors®’ Real Estate in a Digital Age report.

“Consumers have the ability to do more home buying research online and be more connected during the home search process than ever before, but research proves they are still seeing the value a Realtor® brings to the transaction, from the initial search to well after the closing,” said Matthew thrift, 2015 President of The Greater Greenville Association of REALTORS® and Broker-in-Charge of Humble Abodes Realty in Greenville, SC. “Realtors® bring great value to buyers from every generation, demographic and location as well as in every �inancial and familial situation. So while consumers have more technological tools available at their �ingertips, Realtors® are now more than ever a part of the home buying and selling equation.”

The report found that �inding the right property was ranked as the most dif�icult step in the home buying process. Since the Internet is now the �irst place many people go for information, it’s not surprising that 4 in 10 buyers looked for properties online as a �irst step in the home buying process (up from 36 percent in 2010). However, 88 percent of buyers in 2014 purchased their home with assistance from a real estate agent, up from 83 percent in 2010.

While 94 percent of millennials and 84 percent of baby boomers used online websites in their home search, only 65 percent of the Silent Generation - those ages 69 to 89 years - did the same. Older boomers, those aged 60 to 68 years, used a mobile device to search for properties at less than half the rate of millennials (30 percent versus 66 percent).

When it comes to website listing features, photos and online property information were more important to millennials, while virtual tours and direct contact with a real estate agent were more important to baby boomers. Despite visual content growing in popularity and importance, older homebuyers found virtual tours more useful than younger buyers (45 percent among the Silent Generation and baby boomers compared to 36 percent among millennials).

As for the length of time it takes for consumers to �ind a home, millennials typically looked for about 11 weeks, while baby boomers and members of the Silent Generation searched for 8 weeks. Internet use also impacted the length of a home search; those who used the Internet to search homes visited more homes and searched for longer, looking at 10 homes over a 10-week period (versus four homes in four

weeks for those not looking on the web).

While not all consumers use the Internet in their home search, a growing number are �irst �inding their future home online. Forty-three percent of buyers �irst found the home they ended up purchasing on the web; that number was just 8 percent in 2001. In 2001, nearly half (48 percent) of buyers found the home they purchased from a real estate agent; today that number is 33 percent.

The Real Estate in a Digital Age report also found greater technology use by Realtors® and real estate �irms to better meet the needs of clients. Realtors® prefer to communicate with their clients via email (at 93 percent) as well as text messages (85 percent) and instant messaging (31 percent).

Social media is also popular with Realtors®, though 70 percent of female Realtors® are active on social media compared to only 58 percent of male Realtors®. Some social media platforms are more popular than others among Realtors®: Facebook and LinkedIn are most utilized by Realtors® (at 80 percent and 71 percent). Realtors® that are active on social media do so for visibility/exposure/ marketing (81 percent), building relationships and networking (66 percent), advertising (59 percent) and promoting listings (51 percent).

Realtors® and �irms know that they must adapt to technology to better work with and understand their clients; however, it is not always an easy feat. In fact, 46 percent of all real estate �irms cite keeping up with technology as one of the biggest challenges they face over the next two years. That number is even higher for commercial real estate �irms, at 53 percent.

“Realtors® constantly strive to �ind ways to make the home buying and selling process easier for and more accessible to their clients,” Thrift said. “There is nothing more important than helping people �ind and land their dream home, and since technology helps Realtors® do that, it will continue to be a priority.”

The National Association of Realtors®, “The Voice for Real Estate,” is America’s largest trade association, representing 1 million members involved in all aspects of the residential and commercial real estate industries.

Greater Greenville Association of REALTORS® represents over 2,200 members in all aspects of the real estate industry. Please visit the Greater Greenville Association of REALTORS® web site at www. ggar.com for real estate and consumer information.

‘Dirty Dancing’ does two-step with past, present Staged version of hit “There are some things movie comes to the we couldn’t change Peace Center on Tuesday because people expect it.”

CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

Michelle Lynch

clandrum@communityjournals.com Michelle Lynch usually says no when she’s approached to take over the choreography of a musical that has already been staged. But when she was asked to choreograph the North American tour of “Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story on Stage,” she had to say yes.

“I was such a fan of the movie,” Lynch said. “‘Dirty Dancing,’ I can’t say no to that.”

“Dirty Dancing” tells the story of 17-year-old Frances “Baby” Houseman and resort dance instructor Johnny Castle. Baby, on summer vacation with her older sister and parents, shows little interest in anything at the resort in the Catskills until she stumbles upon an all-

night dance party being held in the staff quarters. She’s mesmerized by the raunchy dance moves, pounding rhythms and dance instructor Johnny Castile.

When the movie was released in 1987, Lynch had just started performing and auditioning as a dancer.

“I’ve really tried to honor the movie,” said Lynch, who choreographed “Little Miss Sunshine,” the national tour of “Little House on the Prairie,” the films “Joyful Noise” and “Camp” and Dolly Parton’s World Tour.

Lynch said it is the first time she’s choreographed a musical with such iconic choreography already in place.

“There are some things we couldn’t

change because people expect it,” she said.

“There are different parameters, but it’s still as creative as working on my own show.”

The movie’s choreography by Kenny Ortega was so spot-on, it was easy to use it as a template for the staged version, she said. Eleanor Bergstein, who wrote both the screenplay for the film and the book for the musical, wanted the audience to see more dancing in the stage version, creating room for choreographic creativity, Lynch said.

“We get to take the dancers and fill in the blanks. The choreography in the film was brilliant. We try to honor the movie.

There are seven styles of ballroom plus the dirty dancing and it’s very rare that the couples do the same thing. In most musicals, couples do the same dances in unison. We have very few instances of that and when we do, it’s to advance the storyline,” Lynch said.

That allows people to watch a different couple each time they see the stage version and not see the same thing, she said.

Lynch said she believes “Dirty Dancing” has resonated with people because it is natural for human beings to want to express themselves in a sexual way.

“Dancing is an innocent form of that,” she said. “It’s OK.”

Must-See Movies

By Eric Rogers

Movies about movies Blessed – and cursed – are the filmmakers Making films is hard work. The first paid shoot I worked on was for the Billy Graham Crusade. We started at 7:30 one morning and completed the shoot at 7:30 the following morning.

Crossword puzzle: page 54

YOU’LL HAVE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE.

Once a friend and I needed a shot of a prison. It was for a no-budget student film, so we drove out to Perry Correctional Institute and did a few drivebys in his van. Turns out it’s illegal to photograph a correctional facility. We were surrounded by guards in golf carts, our equipment was thoroughly searched and our footage was confiscated.

Another time, I was on a shoot where a crewmember found a dead guy floating in a river nearby.

Following are three movies about the perils of making movies.

“LIVING IN OBLIVION” Directed by Tom DiCillo Available for sale on Amazon If you’ve ever been on the set of a no-budget film, you can’t help but relate to this film starring Steve Buscemi. Especially when the boom operator says, “Yo, I asked for a frame line.”

“AMERICAN MOVIE” Directed by Chris Smith Available on Amazon Several years ago as I was producing a lowbudget film, my crew kept quoting lines from this movie. After we wrapped the shoot, my wife, Jo Carol, and I decided to rent the film. JC’s comment afterward was, “You realize the crew was mocking you when they were quoting this, right?” If you’ve ever watched a friend make a film, you’ll love this one.

“DAY FOR NIGHT” Directed by Francois Truffaut Available at bit.ly/CriterionDayForNight

OPENS TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 29 - 0CTOBER 4 PEACE CENTER peacecenter.org 864.467.3000

Truffaut published an essay in 1954 describing what became known as the “auteur theory.” This theory suggests that the author of a film is one person, usually the director, whose vision is evident in the film, despite the fact that a large crew of artisans and craftsmen helped to see it through completion. Truffaut was also one of the pioneers of a genre called French New Wave, and in 1973 he released this film. It’s named for a technique filmmakers use for shooting night scenes. We film them in the daylight then make them look as if they were shot at night by lowering the exposure.

Next week I’ll tell you about two other movies about movies.

Eric Rogers has been teaching filmmaking at The Greenville Fine Arts Center since 1994.

Upstate band Earsight channels live shows in new album VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR

beats. It’s a flexible language for improvisation, and you don’t have to be in a big band or jazz trio.”

The album, which was recorded at Southern Tracks studio in Atlanta, took so long to complete, with a lot of live shows in between sessions, that Knight isn’t quite sure of the time frame.

“It took at least two years, maybe three,” he says. “We started around 2012, and we worked on and off while we were gigging. When we started playing, I had maybe two original tunes, but a lot of what we played live came from the people we were influenced by, from John Scofield to Galactic. We played a lot of local festivals doing other stuff while we were trying to write originals.”

The studio where the Earsight album was born has an impressive history. Producer Brendan O’Brien, who’s worked with everyone from AC/DC to the Black Crowes to Pearl Jam, worked extensively at Southern Tracks, and Knight says that

ads or for TV shows, for bookers to listen to… there are all kinds of possibilities.”

Knight says that he’s come away from the recording experience with a new sense of what Earsight can do.

“The most exciting and validating thing was finding out how well we can reproduce our live sound in the studio,” he says. “It was done live in the studio with minimal edits, and it shows the energy and the tightness you would get in a live show from us. It’s a great representation of what we do. We set up and played, and this is what we got, so this is how we will sound when you come to see us play.”

Given the amount of time it took for the Upstate group Earsight to record its new self-titled album, the songs hang together surprisingly well. The six-song release is a mixture of tricky, stop-start rhythms, fluid guitar riffing, gritty Hammond organ and laid-back sax, all jumping back and forth over the line between jazz and funk with ease.

Led by guitarist and songwriter Adam Knight, the group takes its cue both from late 1970s fusion jazz and forward-thinking groove-based musicians like Medeski, Martin & Wood and John Scofield.

Knight says that the funk and jazz styles historically fit well together.

“If you go back, a lot of players had a foot in both camps,” Knight says. “A lot of the older jazz players were doing R&B or blues on the side. You can play jazz over a lot of different rhythms, too: Think about Latin jazz or swing. You can use that jazz language with all kinds of different

he was thrilled with the results of Earsight’s sessions at the now-defunct studio.

“Initially, I thought this was going to be a demo,” he says. “Something that would help us get better gigs. But the recording was so good, the energy we got was so good, that that changed. So it was a great experience. It’s a really nice studio.”

The better-than-expected recording has allowed the band, which also includes keyboardist Will Sinclair, drummer Tim Blackwell and saxophonist Tom Wright, to shop their songs more widely, Knight says. “When you get your material out sounding that good, it’s available for

SOUND CHECK

WITH VINCENT HARRIS

Getting the gig

Local favorite Brooks Dixon’s career has made huge strides in just a few months

PHOTO PROVIDED

Greenville singer/songwriter Brooks Dixon speaks like a man still in a bit of shock when he talks about playing one of the biggest shows of his life. Dixon and his band, the Noble Sound, played the final edition of Greenville’s annual Downtown Alive concert series on Aug. 26, after Dixon won the fan-vote-based “Gimme the Gig” competition.

Upstate music fans were given a weeklong window in which to cast votes for their favorite act, and Dixon took the top prize out of five finalists.

“Winning was huge,” he says. “It was really cool to see all the support.”

Details It’s an understated comment from a performer who usually has quite a way with Brooks Dixon words. Dixon’s most recent release, an EP called “Stone Pile,” is a deceptively smooth, laid-back • Moe Joe Coffee, 20 S. Main St. collection of mostly acoustic country/rock with Greenville just the right amount of grit.

• Friday, Sept. 25, 8 p.m.

Dixon’s back-porch acoustic playing and his • 864-263-3550; sweet-and-sour vocals are perfect vehicles for moejoecoffeeandmusic.net his infectiously melodic, lyrically incisive sliceof-life songs. He’s got a keen eye for small details and a solid sense of songwriting that make the songs so pleasant that it’s easy to miss some of the darker, more turbulent emotions he expresses, particularly on the EP’s standout track, “Society.”

“I’d trade my gold for some privacy,” Dixon sings plaintively over an acoustic-guitar-and-banjo-driven shuffle. “Keep me away from society.”

“Most of my lyrics are personal, and it was a weird time in my life,” Dixon says of the period that inspired “Society.” “I was living in Greenville, in class at Clemson and working in Spartanburg. So I just felt really torn. It was me diving deep into myself and asking why I am so alone, even though the song talks about wanting that isolation to an extent.”

Dixon grew up within a solid musical community, provided by his family.

“I grew up singing in choir with my brother and my sister,” he says. “My parents weren’t musicians, per se, but they loved music and they could sing and that’s what I grew up around. They forced me to start taking piano lessons when I was in second grade or so, then I picked up the guitar around seventh grade.”

From seventh grade to the present day, Dixon’s musical development has been a gradual evolution, but he says he’s starting to get a sense of momentum in his career, particularly after winning the “Gimme the Gig” competition.

“It’s really been within the last eight months that I’ve felt things happening,” he says. “There have been a lot of small steps forward. The coolest thing has been the support from my friends and family that’s taken it to the next level, and all the media support I’ve gotten.”

After playing a big show with a big band (the Noble Sound is a seven-piece outfit), Dixon is stripping back down to a basic acoustic format for his show at Greenville’s Moe Joe Coffee on Friday. Moe Joe’s Clemson location is a sentimental favorite for Dixon, because it’s where he played his first-ever public show.

“It’s always great,” he says, before adding with a laugh, “But I graduated last December, so it’s getting to where I don’t recognize as many folks in the crowd anymore.”

Lowcountry mystery ‘The Girl from Felony Bay’ serve up sisterhood and danger for young readers Abbey Force is having a rough time. Her father is in a coma and can’t defend himself against some horrible accusations. Her home, Reward Plantation in the South Carolina Lowcountry, was sold to pay off her dad’s supposed debts, and Abbey moved in with her horrible Uncle Charlie and his wife.

Abbey soon meets the daughter of Reward Plantation’s new owner. Bee Force is Abbey’s age, and their families have a connection that goes back to before the Civil War. It appears that Abbey’s ancestors kept Bee’s ancestors as slaves, and Bee’s family took on Force as their last name after the war. Even though their family stories could have driven a wedge between the girls, it instead brings them together, and they soon become as close as sisters… and they need that closeness to weather the storm ahead.

Abbey needs to prove that her father is innocent, and Bee wants to help her new friend. It becomes clear that the girls are onto something, but what? Why are there “No trespassing” signs and big holes around Felony Bay? Why was this parcel of land sold separately from Reward Plantation? Why is Uncle Charlie suddenly so smug, and what does the Deputy Sheriff have to do with his new attitude?

What’s the connection with Abbey’s dad and the accusations made against him? Can two 12-year-old girls really prove that something

sinister is going on?

Abbey and Bee are working to solve this mystery, and their investigation takes them all over Charleston and Reward Plantation.

Danger abounds, and the girls eventually uncover a plot that dates back over a century.

Can they reveal the truth before it’s too late?

Join Abbey and Bee Force in their quest for the truth when you read “The Girl from Felony Bay” by J.E. Thompson.

LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE WITH CHRISTOPHER MYERS

Breakfast with the Cap’n In California in 2009, a woman named Janine Sugawara filed a lawsuit claiming fraud. She said she had been misled for three years by a cartoon character “thrusting a spoonful of ‘Crunchberries’” at her, causing her to believe the product contained actual fruit. I could find no mention of whether Ms. Sugawara could tie her own shoes, add single-digit numbers in her head, or voted for a particular party.

Two thoughts immediately come to mind: One, if we’re going to build a wall, let’s put it between us and California; and two, we need to take a closer look at the respondent, Cap’n Crunch, thruster of cereal spoons and misleader of people who should not be allowed to reproduce.

A creation of the Jay Ward Studios – the same folks responsible for Dudley Do-Right, Aunt Jemima and Rocket J. Squirrel – he (the Cap’n, not Rocky) hit the scene in 1963 dressed in a blue uniform and carrying a sword. His job is to travel the world aboard the S.S. Guppy, a ship he shares with four underage children and a lackadaisical canine named Seadog.

Over the years he’s slimmed down a little and lost both his sword and his eyelids (coincidence?). Also, his eyebrows have moved farther up his hat (no, that is not a typo). Through it all he’s remained the hero of numerous back-of-the-box adventures, TV commercials and Ritalin sales reports.

My own childhood featured him (the Cap’n, not Rocky) beaming at me from his red box, mustaches turned cheerfully upwards, mouth greedily anticipating a spoonful of almost food.

The cereal’s original tagline was “It’s got corn for crunch, oats for punch, and it stays crunchy, even in milk.” Today the box says, “You and the Cap’n make it happen” (“it” being diabetes if the latest government data on childhood obesity is true, which it is because the government would never lie to us).

Before I stray too far into the nutrition wars, let me state clearly that I don’t care how much sugar you or the

Cap’n contain. I also don’t care if you chew tobacco, burn fossil fuels with abandon and think the government has your best interests at heart.

The cereal itself is yellow, the brassy hue of home insulation and liver disease, and shaped into bricks, the chief attribute of which is the aforementioned crunchiness. Inside your mouth, crunchy becomes lacerating. The condition has a name, Cap’n Crunch Mouth, an affliction best simulated by chewing a handful of kids’ jacks and washing them down with vinegar.

The Cap’n is a born marketer, and over the years has worked hard to expand the brand, spinning off multiple products, each adorned with his empty expression (ditto the calories) and a dizzying array of food colorings, some of which have been known to cause seizures in lower primates. My favorites? Choco Crunch, featuring a

character named Chockle the Blob, and Cap’n Crunch’s CoZmic Crunch, which came with a packet of “space dust” that caused milk (and children’s teeth) to turn green. Thanks to asbestos litigation, the latter is no longer in production.

Which brings us back to Sugawara v. PepsiCo. You’ll be glad to know the judge threw out the case, citing the antiquated idea of personal responsibility and ruining his own chances for the Supreme Court. As for Ms. Sugawara, she decided not to appeal, apparently remembering a piece of cinematic wisdom (from “Rocky,” not the Cap’n): “Ain’t gonna be no rematch.”

Christopher Myers is a physician in Greenville, where he grows tomatoes despite local squirrels of such lazy cunning as to suggest government employ. Contact at cbmyers32004@yahoo.com.
