Southernside pedestrian bridge project to move forward Civil rights complaint withdrawn APRIL A. MORRIS | STAFF

amorris@communityjournals.com Residents of the Southernside neighborhood may soon be able to walk from one side of their community to the other once again. State transportation officials are working with the county to build a new pedestrian bridge where the old one was demolished, neighborhood leaders say. Consequently, Southernside has withdrawn the civil rights complaint it filed against the state Department of Transportation with the Federal Highway Administration’s Office of Civil Rights, said state Rep. Chandra Dillard, who filed the grievance along with Southernside resident Mary Duckett. In September 2012, SCDOT approved the demolition of the Hampton Avenue truss bridge, which crossed over a set of Norfolk Southern

Railway tracks, after declaring it unsafe for pedestrian use. The move effectively isolated a portion of the neighborhood and forced residents without Dillard vehicles to walk more than a mile out of the way, Dillard said. The civil rights complaint alleged that Southernside residents were negatively impacted when SCDOT demolished Duckett the link to the minority community without consulting Southernside, “an economically disadvantaged community of color.” Progress on obtaining a plan and funding for a replacement bridge spurred the complaint’s withdrawal, Dillard said. “Everyone has been acting in good faith” and the neighbor-

hood was able “to be heard and come out with a viable solution for the community,” she said. With the bridge gone, residents have had to take a 1 1/2-mile route that crossed the six lanes of Pete Hollis Boulevard, or “take their life in their hands and cross the railroad tracks, sliding down a 30-foot embankment,” she said. The highway administration agreed to review the complaint last summer and federal investigators met with neighborhood representatives and walked the alternate route in September, Dillard said. A meeting between SCDOT, Southernside, Greenville County and Norfolk Southern Railway representatives yielded a viable plan, she said. An agreement included an aerial easement from the railroad, commitment for construction and maintenance from Greenville County and technical support from SCDOT. Construction of the bridge is anticipated to happen within the next 18 to 24 months. Cost for the project is estimated

at $1.3 million and $500,000 has already been set aside from county transportation funds, Dillard said. The rest could be paid from funds generated from a county local option sales tax if voters approve the referendum in November, officials said. The Greenville County Citizen Advisory Commission listed the Hampton Avenue bridge as one of the top priority projects. “The target is the referendum, which will certainly speed things along,” Dillard said. If the referendum does not pass, organizers are investigating other options like grants or a public-private partnership to fund the construction of the bridge. The federal complaint and ensuing investigation attracted attention that “opened the eyes of Greenville County to an issue they didn’t know was ongoing. It gave Southernside some friends in the community,” she said. A new pedestrian bridge will not only reconnect the community to Greenville, but provide a connection to the popular Greenville Health System Swamp Rabbit Trail, she said.

OPINION VOICES FROM YOUR COMMUNITY, HEARD HERE

EMS users must have access to all hospitals For more than 80 years, St. Francis has served the Upstate with highquality, compassionate care. With changes occurring in the health care landscape, most of the medical community has chosen to align itself with one area hospital or the other. Bon Secours St. Francis is the only hospital in South Carolina to be named to the 2014 100 Top Hospitals list by Truven Health Analytics. Our hospital has had no central line infections for more than five years and has received the Leapfrog group award, a recognition for high safety, quality, and care at low cost. Our heart surgery program is rated in the top 5 percent of the nation’s heart programs, and our cardiac catheterization program is five-star rated by Healthgrades. A proposal is under consideration to change the management of Greenville County emergency medical services (EMS). Such a change would have a direct impact on the daily lives of Greenville County residents. When time is of the essence and emotions are at the highest, the patient’s right to choose their health system and physician must be protected. The ability to choose, and the competition it fosters, make emergency care in Greenville better. EMS controlled by a single health system is not in this community’s best interest. Many physicians practice at only one hospital. If a patient goes to a hospital where their physician does not practice, the treating physician would not have access to the patient’s medical history or medications. This disrupts your established patient-physician relation-

ship. In times of emergency, this can have a significant impact to your care. Co-management of EMS is the only way to ensure that patient choice is preserved. The proposal under consideration could affect health care delivery for every resident of Greenville County. Bon Secours St. Francis has been and will continue to be a vital player in health care in the Upstate. The management of Greenville County EMS should include Greenville County, Smith Bon Secours St. Francis, and Greenville Health System. We want to ensure that everyone has access and choice in where they receive health care. As the debate moves forward, we invite your input and encourage you to contact your local Greenville County Council member. Let your voice be heard and let Greenville County Council know that when it comes to your health care provider in times of emergency, you want the right to make your own decisions. Dr. Christopher Smith is medical staff president and medical director of cardiovascular services and Dr. Ryan Hoffman is medical director of emergency services for Bon Secours St. Francis Health System.

Bon Secours Wellness Arena has bright future ahead The mission statement of the Greenville Arena District, owner and operator of the Bon Secours Wellness Arena, is “to enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors of Upstate South Carolina through entertainment. “We commit that all interactions will be conducted fairly and ethically. We commit to provide a diverse range of entertainment options. And we commit that our knowledge, skill and dedication to your enjoyment are always on display.” A recent article published in the Greenville Journal seemed to paint a grim picture of the future of the Bon Secours Wellness Arena. I’m thankful for the opportunity to let the Upstate know that those figures provided to Journal writer April A. Morris by former arena district board chairman Jeff Gilstrap were misleading. The numbers that estimated profits and cash flow inaccurately represent the forward progress we’re making in transforming the Bon Secours Wellness Arena experience. To start, I would like to explain how a typical arena in this country is funded and

operates. The majority of arenas in America lose money on their operations. In most cases, these arenas have a dedicated funding source not only to offset operating losses, but they also have a dedicated funding source for their debt service obligations. The reported shortfall in meeting our debt obligations was $988,000. The number actually sits at about half that, averaging only $175,343 per year. Because of the way our arena was established in the late 1990s, we are responsible for approximately $1.3 million annually in debt service. Simply put, we are required to make an operating profit of at least $1.3 million to satisfy our portion of the debt service. This is a big mountain to climb each and every year and is one our competition does not face. The Bon Secours Wellness Arena is one of the most financially successful arenas in the country.

In order to better serve our patrons, Bon Secours Wellness Arena embarked on a two-phase renovation plan in 2013.

OPINION: TALK BACK Dear Editor, Is it me, or is it simply ironic that the opinion piece â&#x20AC;&#x153;Good choices begin at homeâ&#x20AC;? used the word â&#x20AC;&#x153;choiceâ&#x20AC;? 10 times? Yet laws are passed to consistently deny â&#x20AC;&#x153;choiceâ&#x20AC;? to the many women and poor teenagers held up for blame by the author, Michael Hicks, professor of economics in the Miller College of Business at Ball State University. Last week I read that the entire state of Mississippi has one clinic to provide abortion. If poor people are making poor choices with the status quo of denied or severely limited access to abortion, why not try allowing women to practice their constitutional right to an abortion? Thus we would not have to read about a 17-year-old young man allegedly beating in the skull of his 15-year-old girlfriend while their 1-year-old baby was in the other room. I am not sure exactly how a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old are supposed to financially support a child. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Poor choiceâ&#x20AC;? obviously, but certainly ratified by the adult relatives of the pair. I question the veracity of â&#x20AC;&#x153;We spend enormous sums on public contraception

and abortion as well as sex education. There are hundreds of programs...â&#x20AC;? Really? We seem to live in a country that is not willing to actually teach sex education. Abstinence-only programs have been proven not to work. Yet, if any â&#x20AC;&#x153;publicâ&#x20AC;? money is being spent on sex education, that is what is being taught. While I cannot disagree with the author on many of his assertions with regards to poor choices being made repeatedly by lower socio-economic people, I never did discern any remedy or solution being offered. At least the opinion piece by Lisa Gilstrap â&#x20AC;&#x201C; opposite page â&#x20AC;&#x201C; suggesting mentoring programs was constructive. We all know what steps need to be taken to eradicate poverty and childhood hunger and eliminate high drop-out rates, but our country is paralyzed by ideological warfare. It is difficult to try to help people in need when they are routinely used as fodder for blame and pitted against one another for low-paying jobs and to make a shrinking middle class feel superior. When single parents work two to three jobs to keep a roof over their familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t imagine a whole lot of quality time is available to explain â&#x20AC;&#x153;poor choices.â&#x20AC;?

Schools cast a wide Net to attract more students State’s colleges offer growing number of online courses, programs for nontraditional enrollees CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com In about a week, thousands of students will cram as many of their belongings as will fit into the family SUV or rental trailer and head off to college. But the quintessential American college student – 18 to 22 years old, lives on campus at a four-year school, daily life a mix of daytime classes and campus social activities – is no longer the norm when it comes to college attendance. Today, the “typical” college students are outnumbered by what used to be called the “non-traditional” student – older, working, maybe married with children and mortgages; students for whom daily or even weekly trips to campus for classes are difficult, but who need a degree to advance in their careers or find better-paying jobs. “What used to be the non-traditional college student is now the majority,” said David McCurry, director of Converse College’s new degree completion program, which targets students who have some college credit but no college degree. “The 18-year-old who comes straight out of high school for an on-campus, residential program is a small portion of those seeking degrees.” Colleges in the Upstate and across South Carolina are targeting those non-traditional students with a growing array of online courses and even complete programs of study.

OPTIONS EXPANDING

Converse College will launch an online undergraduate degree completion program in business administration on Aug. 25. Furman University is looking to expand the number of undergraduate evening courses that deliver at least part of the curriculum online, said Beth Crews, director of Furman’s undergraduate evening studies program. And through Palmetto College, the University of South Carolina offers

seven bachelor degree programs completely online. Upstate leaders have said increasing the educational attainment of working-age residents is the way to grow the economy. Income rises with educational attainment, and the likelihood of unemployment falls. The nonprofit Lumina Foundation says the United States needs to reach 60 percent college degree attainment by 2025 to compete in the world economy. In 2012, 36 percent of South Carolina residents had at least two-year college degrees. In Greenville County, the number was just under 41 percent. However, a potential downside to online classes has surfaced in some studies. A working paper from a long-term analysis by the Community College Research Center at Columbia University’s Teachers College indicates some demographic groups – often the same groups targeted by colleges for online courses due to accessibility issues – do markedly worse in online classes than in on-campus classes. At Greenville Tech, which has increased the number of online sections of its most popular classes, faculty members realize support for online students is as important as it is for oncampus students, said Lenna Young, vice president for academic affairs. “For us, teaching online is a modality,” she said. “We offer the same amount of help and support for our students but in a different format. Whether it is a face-to-face or online class, the instructor is the first line of seeing whether a student is struggling. Both require good teachers. We don’t let just anybody teach an online class.”

ONLINE COHORTS

At Converse, male and female students in the new undergraduate degree completion program will enter in cohort groups and go through the program together, finishing in as little as 16 months, McCurry said. Students must have a minimum of 48 credits to enter the program. “This is not MOOC [massive open online courses],” said Converse College President Betsy Fleming. “This is designed around cohorts where students move through the experience together and develop relationships with faculty members. Our residential on-campus program is tied to com-

munity building. By using a cohort model, our online students are part of a community as well.” As a part of a cohort, students have a built-in network. They’ll connect through Google circles, Facebook and Twitter. Classes will include online forums and discussions. “We’re finding that students are gaining access to information more readily than in the past,” McCurry said. “The teacher is no longer a person who brings information to the class. Students are coming to class with the expectation of learning how to apply that knowledge.” Converse’s business administration program will include case examples, and students will have the opportunity to develop case examples based on their own experiences in the workplace, he said. Support both technically and academically is critical to online students’ success, McCurry said. “There will be constant monitoring through the program so students do not feel isolated and alone.”

“THE WAVE OF THE FUTURE”

Converse is actively pursuing other degree completion programs. McCurry said a liberal studies program could be ready for enrollment by next summer, and the school is looking at adding some online graduate programs as well. “An institution like Converse can no longer service a narrow population,” he said. “It’s pretty clear that every institution of higher learning has to consider online. It’s the wave of the future.” John Beckford, vice president for academic affairs at Furman University, said the four-year residential experience “is part of our identity,” but Furman will offer an online component to classes when it makes sense. Furman offers online programs in its undergraduate evening study program, its graduate program for teachers and is looking at collaborating with schools in the Association of Colleges in the South to offer distance-learning classes that students in multiple schools can share. For instance, if the schools want to expand offerings in exotic languages, it may make sense share resources rather than each school having to hire its own professors, he said.

GHS receives $6.7 million national cancer grant Funds to reduce disparity, improve outcomes APRIL A. MORRIS | STAFF

amorris@communityjournals.com Greenville Health System (GHS) has won a grant designed to improve cancer patient outcomes and reduce treatment disparities through the new National Cancer Institute’s Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP). Officials say the $6.7 million grant is the largest in the health system’s history. The NCORP program will help conduct multi-site cancer clinical trials in community health care settings to gather information that will contribute to improved patient outcomes and reduction in disparities. GHS is one of 34 community sites nationwide that will participate. The program includes another seven research bases and 12 underserved and minority community sites, one of which is in Charleston at the Medical University of South Carolina. Total funding for the program is $93 million yearly for five years, officials say. Studies in cancer prevention, cancer control and screening will be part of the local research program. Research will also focus on patient quality of life and elements that can affect access and quality of care. Social factors, financing, organizational structures, health technology and individual behavior are some variables that can affect care access

and quality, costs, cancer outcomes and health of survivors, according to NCORP. “When it comes to our health, knowledge truly is power,” said Dr. Jeffrey Giguere, a GHS medical oncologist and principal investigator on the NCORP grant. “By accelerating the transfer of knowledge gained from cancer clinical trials and cancer care delivery research into clinical practice, we have an opportunity to improve outcomes and ultimately save lives.” Cancer care has been moving from regional treatment centers to in-community treatment for many patients. According to NCORP, community research can improve care and offer larger and more diverse patient populations in “real world” health care settings. GHS conducts clinical trials through the Institute for Translational Oncology Research (ITOR) and has participated in National Cancer Institute research since 1988. The launch of the new NCORP consolidates the NCI Community Clinical Oncology Program (CCOP) and the NCI Community Cancer Centers Program (NCCCP). Both GHS and Spartanburg Regional Medical Center operated CCOP programs and Spartanburg’s Gibbs Cancer Center operated an NCCCP. Spartanburg Regional is part of the Southeast Cancer ConsortiumUpstate community site, which includes parts of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Virginia. According to NCORP, ongoing CCOP trials will be completed.

Resurfacing of Main Street in the heart of Greenville’s downtown – from College Avenue and Beattie Place to Augusta and River streets – is set to begin Aug. 24. Work will be performed from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Sunday through Thursday to minimize the impact to downtown visitors and Main Street businesses, said Clint Link, assistant city engineer. No work will be done on Friday and Saturday nights. This will be the first time in more than 20 years that the entire length of Main Street in the central business district will be paved at the same time, he said. The project will be done on a block-by-block basis starting by the Hyatt hotel, and plans call for intersections to be kept open, Link said. Main Street will be opened back up to traffic and parking outside of work hours, he said. The work is expected to take between four and six weeks and will be completed by St. Francis Fall for Greenville on Oct. 10-12, he said. The roadwork includes grinding the existing asphalt, laying down two inches of new asphalt and restriping the roadway. In addition, a public meeting will be held Tuesday on the city’s plan to reduce North Main Street from two lanes of traffic in both directions to one lane in both directions from Ashley Avenue near Northgate Soda Shop to Rutherford Road. The project, which entails restriping the street, will allow for bike lanes and a safety shoulder that could be used by pedestrians in the areas that have no sidewalks, Link said. A traffic study showed that 6,200 vehicles a day traveled that stretch of North Main. A single lane of traffic can handle up to 10,000 vehicles a day, Link said, meaning that the reduced lanes would be enough to handle the residential growth expected near North Main and Stone. The reduction of traffic lanes is expected to reduce speeding; something area residents say is a problem. The project, which has already been budgeted for by the city, would be completed later this year or early 2015, Link said. Tuesday’s meeting will be held at the Sears Recreation Center at 100 E. Park Ave. at 6 p.m.

Boys Home of the South target of second lawsuit Another former resident alleges abuse APRIL A. MORRIS | STAFF

amorris@communityjournals.com Months after the residential facility was forced to close, the Boys Home of the South is again the subject of a lawsuit. The suit filed on July 29 names the Boys Home staff and South Carolina Department of Social Services as defendants and alleges negligence in the reporting or handling of an alleged sexual abuse case involving a child in their care. The plaintiff, listed as John Roe, was reportedly sexually assaulted and tortured by a house parent after being placed in the care of the Boys Home. Roe was in the South Carolina foster system between 1998 and 2010 and the attacks happened on seven occasions in 2005 and 2007, according to the complaint. Roe was also sexually assaulted by a fellow resident, the complaint said. “The 12-year-old boy complained to supervisors and staff at the Boys Home of the South and no actions were taken to protect him from the sexually abusive staff member or terminate the staff member from the Boys Home of the South,” according to a release from Hite & Stone and The Camden Law Firms, which filed the suit. This new lawsuit comes on the heels of another filed in May 2013

and settled this April. It alleged that an 11-year-old resident was sexually assaulted by another resident and the home and DSS did not adequately investigate the incident or provide proper mental health treatment for the child. Attorney Thomas “Tombo” Hite III said this week that it is just the beginning of litigation in this case, but there is a potential for more former residents to come forward. Robert Butcher, an attorney with Camden Law Firm that brought the first suit last year, called the Boys Home “truly a house of horrors.” All residents were removed from the home in late 2013 and the facility closed its doors in April 2014. “There is nothing more important at the Department of Social Services than working to respond to families in crisis and the tragedies that result from abuse and neglect,” said Marilyn M. Matheus, spokeswoman for the S.C. Department of Social Services. “Making sure our foster children are placed in the best situations possible and in safe and loving environments will always be one of our top priorities. The allegations made in this recently filed lawsuit are said to have occurred almost a decade ago and DSS will release its official response when it is completed and submitted to the court. As always, we will never stop fighting to protect the at-risk children of our state and will continue our constant efforts to secure safe and nurturing placements for the most vulnerable among us.”

Possible changes to county EMS spark concerns County says no deal has been inked on a new arrangement APRIL A. MORRIS | STAFF

amorris@communityjournals.com Greenville County officials are discussing the possibility of streamlining the county’s emergency response system by giving Greenville Health System (GHS) a role in the operation of Greenville County’s Emergency Medical Services. Bon Secours St. Francis CEO Mark Nantz said his system is concerned about the potential for a monopoly if GHS is the sole provider of EMS services in the county. St. Nantz Francis has approximately 33 percent of the health

care market in the area and a fair amount of patients come through via ambulance, Nantz said. Nantz would like to see an independent entity, neither St. Francis nor GHS, operate the EMS service. “Giving the keys to the transportation vehicle to my competitor, that just didn’t feel right to me,” he said. Nantz said he has suggested a separate nonprofit collaboration if the county does not want to run EMS. St. Francis officials have offered to bear some of the financial burden of providing the service in a collaborative arrangement, he said. The decision touches on patient choice, Nantz said. Making one health system the sole provider could lead to a lower-quality service and higher costs due to lack of competition, he said. Greenville County’s EMS department makes up roughly $16 million of the county budget and operates at an approximate $4 million loss, documents show. The county’s EMS service has 202 full-time positions and operates 27 ambulances, according to

the county. Nantz said Bon Secours St. Francis has repeatedly requested over the past two years to be part of the discussion of changes in the county’s EMS operations, but were often dismissed or excluded. He said nearly 17 percent of St. Francis’ admissions now come through the ER and hospital officials are concerned that could decrease if EMS workers are employed by GHS. “We made it very clear we wanted to be part of this,” Nantz said. St. Francis was told it “would be taken care of,” he said, but had no details about what that meant. “It is clear to us that Bon Secours St. Francis has been intentionally excluded and kept in the dark

since the beginning of these deliberations.” GHS issued a statement from Dr. Angelo Sinopoli, chief medical officer, saying the issue is what benefits the county Sinopoli best. “It’s not about competition between hospitals – it is about how to provide the best emergency services for all patients regardless of where they receive their care,” the statement said. “Greenville Health System has been working with community partners like EMS for years and has provided medical management for EMS for more than 30 years. The professionalism of the EMS staff and the innovation of Greenville County has allowed us to move forward with innovative approaches that help our community. We believe our focus on value, patient choice and clinical excellence has made a difference.” Patient choice is a guiding principle for EMS, said Dr. Martin Lutz, GHS emergency physician and medical control for the county EMS service. Standing orders send trauma patients to GHS’ trauma center and acute coronary patients are given a choice of Greenville Memorial or St. Francis’ downtown hospital, he said. Lutz said St. Francis is part of the EMS monthly quality review meeting and he does not see that changing if the county adopts a new service model. Greenville County Council chairman Bob Taylor told the Journal there could be efficiencies realized through a new arrangement, but

JOURNAL NEWS no contracts have been signed. Greenville County Administrator Joe Kernell said the county is evaluating the EMS service, but not because it is operating at a loss. “We’re looking at how we can provide the best EMS emergency health care that we possibly can.” Kernell said discussions are not as far along as St. Francis claims. He said he has not presented anything to council, but only had “high-level discussions so far” that have included St. Francis. “We have talked with both hospitals,” Kernell said. “We are talking with GHS right now. They are a quasi-governmental body and we are a governmental body. We can contract for services with other governmental bodies if it works out. St. Francis is a private hospital.” It is “very premature” to talk about signing a contract, though one could be executed fairly quickly, Kernell said. The county has “a very good” EMS department that could continue the way it is now, he said. “As good stewards, we are looking at what is the best fit and what is the best operation for EMS in the future. We’re exploring what the options may be.” Asked about the potential structure of a collaboration with GHS, Kernell said county officials “haven’t gotten anywhere near” a decision about how a collaboration with GHS might be structured. “Those are the kinds of things we’re starting to discuss.” The county has looked into using GHS’ Mobile Care non-emergency ambulance service to supplement the county operations and “provide better coverage,” Kernell said. A study conducted by Washko and Associates last year, “Greenville County Pre-Hospital Care and Transport System,” evaluated county EMS operations and outlined future options. The study examined everything from response time to peak call times. Course-of-action options included privatization, public/private partnership, nonprofit joint venture, public utility model or fail-safe franchise model. The study also outlines a proposed course of action for integrating Greenville County operations with Mobile Care (GHS), but does not mention involvement by St. Francis.

Ladies in Waiting

WITH SHERRY JACKSON

Brandon Adams, 30, was arrested and charged with shoplifting, resisting arrest and unlawful carry of a firearm for an incident at the Cabela’s store on Woodruff Road Tuesday afternoon. According to police, Adams and another suspect, who fled the scene before police could apprehend him, were caught concealing firearm Adams magazines and ammunition by the Cabela’s loss prevention staff, who notified the Greenville Police Department. When police arrived, Adams reportedly began fighting with the officer. According to the police report, once Adams was in custody, the officer found a loaded firearm tucked into his pants. Billy Wayne Burch is heading to court on Mon., Aug. 11, for the murder of Alice Owenby of Taylors in February 2012. Owenby was 63 at the time. According to police reports, Owenby was shot multiple times and her home on 301 McConnell Road was set on fire. Investigators said Owenby died from a gunshot wound to the head and that the fire was started after she died. Her vehicle was also stolen and later found in Greenville County. Investigators said that Burch became a suspect in the case after he was seen knocking on doors in the Taylors area and exhibiting strange behavior after reportedly being kicked out of a bar on Wade Hampton Boulevard. Burch was arrested and charged with murder, burglary in the first degree, possession of a weapon during a violent crime,

grand larceny and third-degree arson. He has been incarcerated since his arrest. If convicted, he faces life in prison without the possibility of parole. Former Greenville County deputy Vic Lamar Vickers, 50, has been charged with breach of peace, misconduct in office, and breach of trust. Vickers resigned in 2013 after 19 years of service as a deputy with the Greenville County Sheriff ’s Office. After responding to a call to Vickers’ home on June 30, officers searched the home and Vickers reportedly found property belonging to the Greenville County Sheriff ’s Office that had been entrusted to Vickers while he was employed. Vickers is accused of taking the items for his own personal gain “with fraudulent intent,” the Sheriff ’s Office said a statement. According to police reports, responding officers found Vickers intoxicated and making threats to blow up his home. Police reports say several attempts were made to get Vickers, along with his 14-year old son, to exit the home, but Vickers refused. Sheriff ’s Office negotiators and the SWAT team were called in, and Vickers eventually complied and exited the residence without incident. He was taken to St. Francis Hospital for evaluation. Vickers’ son was not injured during the incident, police reports said. Since the incident Vickers has been in a state medical facility and is now being held in the Greenville County Detention Center on an $11,093 bond.

New facility will address ‘lack of secure, convenient storage downtown’ SHERRY JACKSON | STAFF

sjackson@communityjournals.com For downtown dwellers who need more space – hang tight. A new self-storage facility is coming to Dunbar Street in Greenville’s West End. Atlanta-based NitNeil Partners, a real estate development and investment firm, is expanding into South Carolina. The company is building a 92,000-square-foot, threestory, “state-of-the-art” selfstorage facility. There will be 638 units ranging in size from 5-by5 feet to 10-by-30 feet. The majority will be interior units that are all fully air-conditioned, and the balance will be drive-up units. “Greenville’s transition from a mill town to a modern, innovative economic and cultural hub is a remarkable story,” said Nitesh Sapra, principal of NitNeil Partners. “The revitalization

of the city’s urban core has resulted in the emergence of entrepreneurs and an influx of in-town dwellers, but there is a lack of secure, convenient

storage downtown. Our goal is to provide an amenity to support the dynamic business and lifestyle needs of the local community.”

NitNeil Partners owns a portfolio of self-storage facilities totaling 800,000 square feet that spans five states. The company recently completed

a similar project in downtown Chattanooga, Tenn. Construction is set to begin this week and is projected to be completed in the spring of 2015.

Greenville student scores up, while statewide scores fall Decline not unexpected with old test, new standards CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com While Greenville students showed improvement in most subject areas and grade levels on last spring’s Palmetto Assessment of State Standards, more students in the third through eighth grade failed to perform on level on the test statewide. At the high school level, the passage rate declined on the state’s exit exam, a test that no longer stands between students and a high school diploma. Melanie Barton, executive director of the S.C. Education Oversight Committee, called the PASS results disappointing, but said drops in math and reading

scores were not unexpected as the state transitions to new standards. Students in grades three through eight took PASS tests in writing, English language arts (reading and research), math, science and social studies. In Greenville County, scores were up in 21 of the 30 areas. The areas of decline were third-grade social studies, fourth-grade science, fourth-grade social studies, fifth-grade reading and research, sixth-grade math, seventhgrade writing, seventh-grade reading and research. Statewide, the percentage of students passing fell in 22 of the 30 areas. Barton said the 2014 mathematics and English language arts tests were different from the year before because the state Department of Education dropped all items that were unique to South Carolina and substituted items common to both the prior state standards and Common Core standards.

Barton said states that implemented Common Core standards and assessments have seen a decrease in test results due to increased rigor. In Kentucky, for instance, student scores in English language arts and math dropped by one-third or more in the first year of assessment of the new standards. Barton said the new standards are intended to ensure students will be ready for college and the workforce. She said 41 percent of students who graduate from a public high school in South Carolina require remediation in math and English at the state’s twoyear colleges. “Clearly, our students are not collegeor career-ready,” she said. Barton said the decline in social studies and science was unexpected because the tests did not change. She questioned whether schools placed those content areas at a lower priority.

Mick Zais, the outgoing state school superintendent and a critic of Common Core, said there were areas of “high accomplishment” in the test results. He said achievement gaps were narrowed in 24 of the 30 areas between students with and without a disability. The number of students earning an exemplary score increased across all five subject areas in the majority of grades tested. “While we’re making progress slowly but surely, a greater focus on literacy is necessary for us to see further improvements,” he said in a press release. Zais encouraged the General Assembly to revisit the “Read to Succeed” Act to add a seventh-grade reading gateway as other states have done to ensure students are reading at grade level before they start high school. “To me, there is no subject more important than the success of our students than reading,” he said.

Breathing lessons Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival heralds uptick in asthma attacks APRIL A. MORRIS | STAFF

amorris@communityjournals.com Students are stuffing their backpacks with new notebooks and school supplies. Some students who have asthma are also tucking rescue inhalers into their packs. According to the U.S. Department of Education, asthma is the leading cause of absenteeism for students, equaling about 20 million lost school days annually. And when students return to school from summer vacation, the number of asthma attacks rise, said Dr. Lochrane Grant of the Center for Pediatric Medicine and pediatric faculty member at USC School of Medicine Greenville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students go back to school in late August and not only are they ASTHMA continued on PAGE 18

SIGNS OF ASTHMA IN CHILDREN:

sharing stories from their summer, they’re sharing viruses,” she said. “By September, there’s a spike in wheezing events that children experience. There’s a spike in emergency visits and hospital admissions as well.” In addition, asthma can be exacerbated by allergies, with the fall ragweed season coinciding with the start of the school year. Grant said parents can ensure students are prepared for the beginning of school by making sure they take their control or preventive medication regularly and have learned the proper technique for using an inhaler. Some students need oral preventive medication, while others need a daily, inhaled medication or simply a rescue inhaler, depending on the type of asthma. One of the keys to reducing student asthma attacks and visits to the emergency room is reducing triggers and keeping up with the preventive medication, Grant said. Since 2007, an Upstate collaboration, the Asthma Action Team, has worked to include home and school visits to help children control their asthma. “We have learned that to keep chil-

dren with asthma out of the emergency department and the hospital, we have to reach beyond the walls of our clinic,” Grant said. In addition to the Center for Pediatric Medicine, the team includes the Greenville Asthma Community Collaborative and the Family Connections’ Project Breathe Easy. By connecting with patients in their homes and schools, the collaborative has achieved a 60 percent decrease in the number of pediatric patients seen in the emergency room for asthma between 2007 and 2012, Grant said. The decrease is significant, but “there’s still more to do,” she said. The program was honored with an American Hospital Association NOVA Award this summer for hospital-led

collaborative efforts to improve community health. When team members visit patients’ homes, they help families reduce asthma triggers like secondhand smoke, a potent trigger, said Grant. They also help reduce dust mites in the bedroom and helped one family renovate a home that had a mold problem, she said. The team focuses on children who have repeated visits to the emergency room, reviewing information with the school nurses and families, Grant said. If one of the roughly 4,500 children with asthma who are registered in the program ends up in the emergency room, the team receives an alert so they can follow up. Pediatric medical interns and residents also participate in the program to gain experience in not only seeing patients, but in conducting home visits, said Grant. Members of the collaborative meet frequently and all of the staff at the Center for Pediatric Medicine, from office staff to practitioners, are considered a member of the team, she said. Controlling asthma in children contributes to their quality of life and “just feeling better and being able to run around on the playground with their friends,” Grant said.

‘This I believe’

A MOMENT’S NOTICE

Greenville Middle School students write about life’s challenges As a writing project this past school year, Greenville Middle School seventh-graders penned essays about what they believe. The compositions cover topics important to them in today’s world – bullying, fitting in, overcoming adversity, family relationships. Teacher Kim Townsend said the project “wasn’t about changing the world. It was about what changed them, how they got to this place in their lives.” Below are the final two essays. (Names have been withheld due to school privacy concerns).

BEING UNIQUE I believe that getting my burn was the best thing that has ever happened to me. About 10 years ago, I got a burn on my leg that was caused by french fry grease. It hurt really badly. The burn will never go away, but that makes me happy in some ways. In some ways, I am different than everybody else. I will never be the same as other girls. I will always have that one thing about me that is different. But I don’t care. I love my burn! It makes me unique. It makes me who I am today. It has changed my life for the better. I can tell you now that I am glad that I didn’t have a skin graft. I still would have a scar. It might not be in the same place, but it would still be there. In some ways, I inspire myself. I might look different, but that doesn’t change my heart. The image I have of myself will always be that I am most beautiful when I am myself. I don’t try to hide it. Why would I? It shows that I am not the same; I am unique. And like Taylor Swift said, “If you are lucky enough to be different, don’t ever change.”

20 THE JOURNAL | AUGUST 8, 2014

I believe we do not remember days, we remember moments. These moments stay with us even when we grow old. Everyone has a major steppingstone to overcome. Sometimes it is so slow we feel as though our lives could end at any moment, or it is so quick that we don’t have time to react. To an eight-year-old child everything is scary; bugs, knives, adults, yelling, arguments. Everyone should get the chance to say, “Yeah, I had a great childhood.” Some people don’t get that chance. Luckily, even though I’ve been through some dark tunnels, I can say that I did have a great childhood. My whole blissful childhood changed one Sunday night in January. At the time I was all into basketball; even though I never actually touched the ball or helped my team in any way possible, I was all into it. My mother was downstairs in an intense argument with my father. At the time I thought it was nothing, I was upstairs getting ready when my mother called up to me to pack a bag for the week. I yelled back down to her that I cannot spend the night at anyone’s house because it is a school night. She didn’t answer me, which meant her decision was final. I quickly packed a bag and headed straight for the car. I heard my mom yelling at my dad from behind telling him it’s not all about the money, and my dad just begging her to stay. She jumped in the car and we went to the game. The game went on as usual; I ran away from the ball or shot the ball in the wrong basket. But something about my mother was off. After the game, we drove to my best friend’s house; we ended up spending the night there. My mother didn’t go to work the next day but instead she looked for apartments. When she picked me up from school that afternoon she told me she had found one. Every weekend or so I would go with my dad and we’d do fun stuff. Whenever my parents were dropping me off or picking me up they were polite to each other. I didn’t understand much what was going on, but I did know that my life would never be the same. I learned more about my parents in those three months then ever. I don’t think my parents realized how much those months impacted me, or if they did they didn’t show it. I did watch how my mother acted, though: flustered, sad, comforting. She tried hard to keep it together in front of me. I don’t know if my parents realized that I really worried about them. I think they figured if they kept me busy I wouldn’t realize what was going on. My parents went to a marriage counselor every so often, after a little bit they started being a little more cordial to each other. Eventually my mom and I moved back in. I don’t remember every detail that happened those few months, but it’s an event that made me stronger. It made me realize that anyone can overcome anything they need to. At a young age I learned to always look forward; always look for a solution; that’s something not everyone learns. I consider my family extremely lucky for being able to overcome something this big. It is an unforgettable moment.

Honey, it’s time to move! New Main Stage season called “well-balanced” Hannah E. Smith in the show “Love, Loss and What I Wore.” CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com Even Centre Stage executive and artistic director Glenda ManWaring was surprised by the success of the theater’s inaugural Fringe Series. The Fringe Series features contemporary works by established and emerging playwrights that ManWaring believes are important for Greenville audiences to see, but aren’t big enough to justify a spot on the theater’s Main Stage schedule and typical four-weekend run. They’ve been so popular that the last Fringe Series play, “Love, Loss and

What I Wore,” was extended by a week. During the upcoming 2014-15 season, Centre Stage will add another night – Wednesdays – to allow more people to see the Fringe shows. “I wanted to do the Fringe Series for so long because I felt there was a need in the community for it,” said ManWaring, who is beginning her fifth season at the helm of Centre Stage. “The response so far has exceeded our expectations.” Add in the Main Stage shows and ManWaring said Centre Stage will offer a “well-balanced” 2014-15 season. “I love our season as a whole,”

she said. The Main Stage season opens on Sept. 11 with “Hands on a Hardbody,” a musical about 10 contestants who must keep their hands on the new truck they are competing for at a Texas dealership. The last person remaining wins. The musical, which had a short run on Broadway, is based on a true story, something that appealed to ManWaring. “This is about real people,” she said. “Many times, musicals are not about FRINGE continued on PAGE 24

In “Flea,” a wife suspects her husband of having an affair and when she receives “evidence” of his infidelity, she decides to catch him in the act. Her plot backfires. Centre Stage’s Christmas production will actually be two radio shows: “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “A Christmas Carol.” The shows will alternate every other night, allowing audiences to see both in one weekend if desired. In January 2015, Centre Stage will produce an original “Rock ’n’ Roll Show” of hits – one-hit wonders and great rock songs that haven’t been done in the theater’s previous rock shows. The concert features Upstate talent and songs from the 1960s, ’70s and early ’80s. “Spamalot,” the musical based on the film classic “Monty Python and the Holy Grail,” will hit the stage in April 2015. “We like to do a big musical in that time frame and we were looking for comedic musicals,” ManWaring said. “We have a lot of fabulous male actors and singers and ‘Spamalot’ fit the bill perfectly.” “A Time to Kill,” a play based on the John Grisham novel, begins May 29, 2015. The play is about a man fighting a legal battle in a racist system. After his little girl is attacked, he killed her assailants and is now being tried for the death penalty. Closing out the Main Stage season is “Swingin’ Country,” a musical revue of country favorites. The winner of Centre Stage’s New Play Festival opens the Fringe Series. “Young Negress Stepping Out of the River at Dawn” by Dean Poynor tells the story of two Rwandan immigrants

living in New York City as they plan to marry but struggle with balancing their Rwandan traditions and their new American culture. “The Letters,” set for November, is a mystery that tells the story of Anna, a woman in some unspecified Soviet bureaucracy whose job seems to be censoring the correspondence of others. She is called into the director’s office, but for what? December’s Fringe offering is “Sleeping Indoors,” a play about an author and his wife who invite a homeless man into their home for Christmas dinner. They discover a manuscript he wrote that they realize is the “great American novel” that could change the man’s life. But does he want his life to change? “Blackbird,” which opens April 7, 2015, tells the story of two people— a schoolteacher and a girl who was underage when they had a passionate affair – who meet 15 years later when she arrives unannounced at his office. Rounding out the season is “Two Rooms” by Lee Blessing. The two rooms are a windowless cubicle in Beirut, where Arab terrorists are holding an American hostage, and a room in his house back in the United States, which his wife has stripped of furniture and other belongings so she can share his ordeal. “The Fringe Series is designed to be thought-provoking and is a way to get people to change they way they think about things,” ManWaring said. Tickets can be purchased at the Centre Stage Box Office at 501 River St. or online at centrestage.org.

It’s easy to see why Greenville-born actress Judith Chapman has long been interested in the life of Vivien Leigh, the fragile, mercurial British actress who turned American icon Chapman with her role as Scarlett O’Hara in “Gone with the Wind.” “She’s brilliant. She’s beautiful. She’s damaged,” Chapman said in a phone interview. Chapman will portray Leigh in “Vivien,” Rick Foster’s one-woman play, at the Centre Stage next weekend in three performances: Friday, Aug. 15 at 8 p.m.; Saturday, Aug. 16 at 7 p.m.; and Sunday, Aug. 17 at 3 p.m. A VIP meet-andgreet will follow the Aug. 16 show and tickets to that are $15. Chapman, known for portraying Gloria Bardwell on the daytime soap opera “The Young and the Restless” since 2005, was looking to do a one-woman show and thought Leigh would be the perfect subject. She said she portrayed Leigh in a play, “Orson’s Shadow,” a decade earlier and did considerable research in preparation for that role. Chapman also remembers as a child seeing Leigh on stage in the musical “Tovarich,” which garnered Leigh a Tony Award. “I remember her performance,” Chapman said. Then Chapman discovered

Foster’s script. “One of the reasons I love this play is it takes monologues from some of the works she’s done and interweaves them with points of her life,” she said. “She was so far ahead of her time. Whatever she wanted, she went after.” The play is set in 1967, days before Leigh died of tuberculosis at 53. The play covers Leigh’s relationship with Lawrence Olivier, her career struggles and her battles with bipolar disorder. During the play, Leigh has “conversations” with some of the people in her life – Katherine Hepburn, Winston Churchill, Olivier, Peter Finch and critic Kenneth Tynan. Chapman performed the play in Atlanta at the 75th anniversary of the release of “Gone with the Wind.” “I was terrified the audience might hate me because the play so maligned their darling Scarlett,” Chapman said with a Southern accent to emphasize Scarlett. “But it was a wonderful success.” Chapman said “Vivien” is a

woman’s story, but also a story anybody can enjoy. “Who doesn’t have a relative who is brilliant yet damaged?” she said. “It’s a story of survival. It’s a story of finding your place in the world. She had to fight for everything in her life and for her sanity. But the play is not one big downer. It’s wickedly funny, too.” Chapman said there are similarities between Vivien Leigh and her current soap character. “Gloria is very much driven. She won’t be told no. I would love Gloria to go into the depths of mental illness.” Chapman, the daughter of a retired Air Force general, was born in Greenville but never lived in the city. “My father was a young flyboy and my mother did the typically Southern thing – she went back home to have each of us,” Chapman said. “She said that she may not know where we’d end up, but she knew where we would start.” Chapman spent most of her childhood outside the U.S. She began her acting career at the age of 14, working in commercials and “spaghetti Westerns” while living in Spain. After graduating from Stephens College with a degree in theater, she moved to New York where she began working in commercials and theater. Chapman landed the role of Natalie Hughes on the soap opera “As the World Turns.” She’s also acted on “Ryan’s Hope,” “Days of Our Lives,” “One Life to Live” and “General Hospital.” “I joke that every soap opera I worked on was No. 1, but not after I left,” she said. She has also appeared on “Murder, She Wrote,” “The Fall Guy,” “Magnum, P.I.,” “Silk Stalkings,” and several feature films, “28 Days,” “The Sweetest Thing,” “Night of the Running Man” and “Scorpio One.” Chapman founded “The Troubadours of Daytime,” a theater company of daytime television actors. Chapman was last in Greenville about for a family reunion about five years ago. She still has family here.

SOUND CHECK

WITH VINCENT HARRIS

‘Good luck charm’ Married duo forsakes “broken characters “ for a warmer sound the second time around The Mastersons’ just-released second album, called “Good Luck Charm,” will surprise anyone who heard the duo’s debut, 2012’s “Birds Fly South.” The sparse, stripped-down production of the first album is gone, replaced by a warmer, richer sound provided by veteran producer Jim Scott. Scott, who’s worked as a producer or engineer for everyone from the Dixie Chicks to the Red Hot Chili Peppers, provides the perfect backdrop to the duo’s new songs, a lively, celebratory set of tunes that add a little rough rock muscle to their already-established altcountry vibe. The harmonies between singers and multi-instrumentalists Chris Masterson WHO: The Mastersons and Eleanor Whitmore are strong but not showy, and musically, they never let too much polish into the mix. WHERE: Horizon Records The Brooklyn, N.Y.-based duo, who married in WHEN: Sunday, Aug. 10, 2 p.m. 2009, made their first album in a bit of a rush, so HOW MUCH: free they were anxious to take their time and collaborate more fully on “Good Luck Charm.” INFO: 864-235-7922 or With the last record, “we knew that we needed to blog.horizonrecords.net have it ready to go on the road, and we had a deadline,” Eleanor Whitmore says. “So we looked in our pile of songs, and we only had a couple that we’d written together. Coming off of that, we wanted to write more songs where we were singing as one voice.” The duo wanted “to make a different record,” Chris Masterson says. “And we wanted to say something different. We wanted to investigate more. The first record had all these broken characters; it seemed like all the characters in the songs could’ve benefitted from anti-depressants.” As a married couple, the duo knows they run the risk of listeners assuming every relationship-related song is autobiographical, but Whitmore says she takes it as a compliment. “I think it’s just a sign you’ve done your job well,” she says. “You’ve convinced someone that that might be a true story. When you’re writing a song, you’re obviously drawing from your own experience, but it’s not necessarily accurate about or reflective of your whole life.” The album’s title track was inspired by Democratic state Sen. Wendy Davis’ filibuster in their hometown of Austin last summer, and they say they have no problem mixing politics into their songwriting. “In the ’60s, music played a big role in politics, and commented on what was going on at the time,” Whitmore says. “They weren’t just observational songs; they were calls to action. It’s not always comfortable to talk about what’s going on with people, but when you express it in the form of art, it somehow makes it easier to connect with people. We want to try to bring people together.” Perhaps The Mastersons drew some inspiration from another artist who mixes the personal and political: Steve Earle. The duo has played with Earle on and off since 2006, and they spent most of last year touring with him, both as part of his band and the opening act. “I cherish my relationship with Steve as a friend and a musician and an activist,” Masterson says. “He does a lot, and he does it well. And I think he inspired us to find our own path.” However, “every gig we’ve done has taught us something,” he adds. “For the better part of our lives, we’ve made a living playing with other artists. I think it’s almost an apprenticeship when you’re standing onstage looking at someone else. You watch how they interact with the crowd; how they conduct themselves. I’ve learned something from everyone we’ve worked for.”

Baby see, baby do created in the image of God). In our house, we don’t do “diets.” I think diet is a horrible word for a child to learn. It holds a connotation that there is a “fat problem” that needs to (and can) be fixed with a quick solution called a diet. Instead, we all need to work on eating wholesome foods and creating healthy behaviors. The word “diet,” on the other hand, subtly attacks a positive body image and good eating habits. Along these lines, a study released by Florida State University last week reported 30 years worth of research that linked dieting as a child to increased risk of eating disorders, obesity and alcohol abuse. “The younger a woman was when she started her first diet, the more likely she was (later) to use extreme weight control behaviors like vomiting or laxative misuse,” said study researcher Lauren Holland. “She was also more likely to misuse alcohol and be overweight or obese when she reached her 30s.” I’m stuck with a permanent inner tube for a waist. I eat well and exercise, but it appears that we’re best friends forever. No matter how I feel about it, though, I am always clear in front of my children not to self-deprecate. My jelly belly is not my enemy. We talk about eating quality foods and getting plenty of exercise while we purposefully resist talking about calories, butt sizes, or my abdominal flab. Children emulate their parents in every way; why would we assume body image is any different? It is during early childhood that the framework for self-esteem is laid. As parents, our goal should be to constantly remind them of how wonderful they are, with the hope that they will learn to love themselves. We need to feed their healthy egos, instead of encouraging harmful expectations and environments. Then they can feel comfortable singing and dancing to inappropriate songs at every age.

A few weeks ago I awoke with my five-year-old Anna Jane’s intent, passionate face inches from mine. With dragon breath, she rapped, “Show me what to do with that big fat butt. Wiggle. Wiggle. Wiggle.” Then she flipped around, shook her tiny, My Little Pony-underwear-covered heiney and squawked, “My big fat butt.” Then she scurried downstairs. Not only was it terrifying to learn that Anna Jane has already developed a well-honed ability to shake her derriere, it was also startling that she picked up on both rhythm and inappropriate lyrics after only hearing Jason Derulo and Snoop Dogg throw down once. (Yes. Not a proud parenting moment.) It was a reminder that kids are always listening and absorbing. Around that time, a study released by the Australian Institute of Family Studies revealed that about half of normal or underweight children were dissatisfied with their body size. In overweight children, that percentage was closer to three-fourths. Overall, around 60 percent of both boys and girls were taking steps to control their weight. In other words, our obsession with body image is affecting the social and emotional health of our young children. That’s sad. I’m not suggesting that obesity isn’t a problem. Currently, it’s estimated that more than one-fourth of young children are obese. Researchers are finding links between obesity and associated morbidities at dizzying speeds. There’s no doubt that we need to address this problem. But we also need to remain cognizant of how “addressing” the problem might have unexpected repercussions. Anna Jane only heard “Wiggle” once, and yet she picked up on many of the words and meaning (and that was prior to us changing the station). We need to teach our children at early ages what a healthy body image looks like. At times this involves shielding them from certain materials; we shop at Publix because they place protectors over the inappropriate magazine covers in the checkout lanes. At times this involves explaining things to them (our family often talks about what it means to all be
