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

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

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

FALLEN BEHIND

1988

South Carolina school districts haven’t been fully funded since 1998, according to a report done by Clemson University researchers for the state Department of Education in 2017. Districts currently receive $2,485 per student, which is calculated by a formula from the 1977 Education Finance Act and falls hundreds of dollars short of what the formula dictates they should receive.

HERE’S WHAT COULD

CHANGE n story by ARIEL GILREATH | photos by WILL CROOKS

1 IN 5 WOMEN IN COLLEGE WILL BE SEXUALLY ASSAULTED

According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center

C

hanges are coming to Title IX amidst a tug-of-war between victims’ advocates, who’ve rallied around the cry for society to finally start believing survivors, and due process advocates, who’ve said students have been long stripped of their rights in shoddy college investigations.

There are only a few days left for the public to comment on the contentious proposed changes to Title IX — a federal law from 1972 that prohibits government agencies from discriminating on the basis of sex.

Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos has been vocal in her opposition to Obama-era guidelines for how colleges should investigate sexual assault and harassment, announcing in 2017 that she would reverse the guidelines outlined in President Barack Obama’s “Dear Colleagues” letter addressed to universities.

The U.S. Department of Education published the proposed changes to Title IX on the Federal Register on Nov. 30, making them available for public comment for 60 days.

Each of the proposed changes strengthens the rights of accused students and edges college investigations closer to courtroomlike procedures, which has drawn both criticism and praise.

One of the biggest changes significantly narrows the definition of “sexual harassment,” which Obama-era guidelines defined as “unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature.”

In the proposed changes, a student’s conduct would have to be “so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it effectively denies a person equal access to the recipient’s education program or activity” for it to be considered sexual harassment.

1.25.2019 | GREENVILLE JOURNAL | 5

COMMUNITYJOURNALS.COM “Every survivor of sexual violence must be taken seriously, and every student accused of sexual misconduct must know that guilt is not predetermined,” DeVos said in a statement. “We can, and must, condemn sexual violence and punish those who perpetrate it, while ensuring a fair grievance process.

Those are not mutually exclusive ideas. They are the very essence of how Americans understand justice to function.”

One proposed change requires a university to initiate an investigation only if a complaint is filed with the Title IX coordinator or Title IX office and is directly within its “education program or activity.” It also requires live hearings, which complicates the situation if the students don’t have attorneys.

An additional change allows schools to determine the outcome of the investigation based on “clear and convincing evidence” rather than Obama-era guidelines of “a preponderance of evidence,” which requires investigators to be convinced by at least 50 percent that the accused might be guilty.

A single investigator would also not be allowed to determine the outcome.

But perhaps the biggest change in the law will allow students to have third parties — such as attorneys or advisers — cross-examine each other in the investigation process.

This, Furman University Title IX coordinator Melissa Nichols said, will likely have the biggest impact on the tone of investigations.

“Until now, a lot of schools have allowed parties to submit questions that maybe a hearing board would ask so that parties were never cross-examining each other directly,”

”

Title IX

Nichols said. “I expect it will make it feel a lot more like a court process.”

The Title IX changes come at a time when Furman is facing its own criticism for how it handled a rape investigation in 2017.

A lawsuit filed on May 15, 2018, by a former student — called “Jane Roe” — claims the university mishandled an investigation into a sexual assault by rushing the procedure, providing her medical records to the attorneys of the accused, and allowing the accused to review interview questions.

90% OF SEXUAL ASSAULT VICTIMS ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES

DO NOT REPORT IT According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center

A counterclaim to Roe’s suit filed by the accused — called “John Doe” — also claimed the university mishandled the investigation, stating the school did not provide all of the evidence to the hearing board and did not conduct a fair investigation before suspending him for three-and-a-half years.

Critics of DeVos’ proposed changes claim they could cause victims not to report incidents of violence. End Rape on Campus, a nonprofit advocacy organization, released a statement saying

the changes would make schools “a safe place to commit sexual violence.”

“DeVos is making plain with these unlawful rules that she is turning her back on survivors,” Jess Davidson, interim executive director of the organization, said in a statement. “The results of this rule are clear: Fewer will report their assaults and harassment. Schools will be more dangerous. And, more survivors will be denied their legal right to equal access to education after experiencing sexual violence.”

According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center, one in five women are victims of rape while in college, and more than 90 percent of sexual assault victims on college campuses do not report the assaults. The organization says nearly two-thirds of college students experience sexual harassment.

But proponents of the new rule say it will help provide balance to an unjust process. Justin Dillon, a Washington, D.C.-based attorney who is listed as part of Doe’s defense team on the Furman court documents, wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post with his law partner — Matt Kaiser — that the reforms “don’t go far enough” to protect the accused.

“Far too many students have been forced to go to court to ensure their rights are protected because the Department has not set out legally binding rules that hold schools accountable for responding to allegations of sexual harassment in a supportive, fair manner,” DeVos said in a statement. “By following proper legal procedures and receiving input on our proposed rule, we will ultimately have a final regulation that ensures that Title IX protects all students.”

Greenville takes new approach to city manager search n story by CINDY LANDRUM

”

“We could have settled on one of the candidates identified in the first round, and they would have been fine. But fine is not good enough. We are at a point in Greenville’s history where we cannot compromise on who we hire...”

R U S S E L L S TA L L councilman

Greenville-based Find Great People will help the council find a new manager. Council members have earmarked $57,500 from the city’s fund balance to pay for the search.

Greenville’s next city manager probably isn’t currently looking for a new job.

That’s what Greenville City Council members are saying as a second search gets underway to replace former city manager John Castile, who left the city in August and became Greenville County Redevelopment Authority’s executive director in September.

“I anticipate that the person we hire does not know they would like to come to Greenville yet. They do not know that they are going to be changing jobs in the next few months. They may not even be looking for a change,” said Councilman Russell Stall.

Greenville-based Find Great People will help the council find a new manager. Council members have earmarked $57,500 from the city’s fund balance to pay for the search.

Mayor Knox White said this search would differ from the traditional city administrator search that starts with resumes of candidates who are looking for a job and finding those that seem the best fits. Instead, this search will identify the best talent for the role first and then try to sell that person on the city and the job, he said.

“We’re looking for someone who is not looking for a job,” White said.

Councilman Russell Stall said after the first search, council members realized they needed a search firm that better understood Greenville and the “Greenville way.”

“We are a much larger city that our population would suggest, and our expectations are higher than most other cities,” he said. “We’re excited about FGP. They understand Greenville, and because they live here, have a vested interest in finding a city manager who can effectively lead us into the future.”

The city paid $22,050 to Texas-based recruiting firm Springsted|Waters for the first search. Three finalists were selected, but one withdrew to become Asheville’s city manager. Council members interviewed the two remaining candidates but decided not to hire either.

“We could have settled on one of the candidates identified in the first round, and they would have been fine. But fine is not good enough. We are at a point in Greenville’s history where we cannot compromise on who we hire,” Stall said. “We have an amazing product to offer to a new city manager, and believe we have the ability to have high expectations.”

Nancy Whitworth, the city’s deputy city manager and economic development director, has served as interim city manager since Castile left. Originally, she told City Council members she would serve in that capacity for six months. She said she told the council at the conclusion of the initial search that she would continue to serve in an interim capacity to allow more time to find someone permanently. She said she has no interest in filling the job permanently.

Private entities have committed nearly $3.5 million for Unity Park

n story by CINDY LANDRUM

Nearly $3.5 million in sponsorships and $1.5 million in in-kind donations have been secured for Unity Park.

Work to demolish the city of Greenville’s old public works complex on Hudson Street is expected to start this quarter. The demolition has to be completed before construction of the park can begin. Bidding in an online auction for items left at the site closes at the end of this month.

The first phase of the park will include a pedestrian bridge over the Reedy River, a destination playground and water feature, Welborn Square, a visitors center and gathering hall, a great lawn, and improvements to Hudson Street and the Swamp Rabbit Trail.

The estimated cost of the first phase of the park is nearly $41.2 million.

Private fundraising efforts have raised $3.475 million so far with additional commitments to cover some of the construction expenses, said Bill Fox with the Hughes Agency, which has been contracted by the city to fundraise for the park.

The first year of fundraising has concentrated on major gifts of $250,000 or more, Fox said.

Hughes Agency has $2 million more in soft commitments and more than $6 million in proposals outstanding, he said.

An additional $1.6 million in grant requests has been made, he said.

“It has gone better than expected,” said Mayor Knox White. “We knew there would have to be a public-private partnership because that’s the Greenville way, and the private sector has responded.”

Most gifts received so far have been at least $250,000.

This year’s fundraising efforts will focus on securing smaller corporate gifts, White and Fox said.

There will be opportunities for community members to contribute to the park, as well, they said. One way is to sponsor a step in the park’s observation tower, White said.

The tower will have 200 steps, and if each one is sponsored at $10,000, it will generate $2 million.

“The tower will be the focal point of fundraising this year,” White said.

Greenville County has new tool to address affordable housing shortage n story by CINDY LANDRUM

Greenville County has a new tool to address its affordable housing shortage.

The newly created Greenville County Affordable Housing Fund will provide gap financing for projects that will increase the production and availability of safe, affordable housing for low-, moderate-, and middle-income households in Greenville County but outside the city limits of Greenville.

The Greenville County Redevelopment Authority, the agency that administers money the county and five municipalities receive for affordable housing from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and other sources, will oversee the fund.

Greenville County Administrator Joe Kernell said the county is providing $1 million per year for five years out of the money it will receive from Prisma Health as part of a deal brokered over governance of what was then known as the Greenville Health System.

The county will get $1 million per year for 20 years as part of a compromise bill passed by the state Legislature. The components of the bill were included in the settlement of a lawsuit filed by some local legislators alleging the GHS board improperly turned over governance of the public nonprofit health system to a private nonprofit entity.

A study completed last year found that the county has a shortage of nearly 9,500 housing units that are affordable to households earning less than $25,000 per year, a group that makes up more than 23 percent of those who reside in Greenville County but outside the boundaries of Greenville.

The county has 60,000 households whose maximum affordable rent is less than what for-profit developers need to break even, consultant Charles Buki reported. He said that if Greenville

County’s trajectory of economic growth continues, teachers and first responders could find themselves priced out of good housing options.

“We believe there are a number of projects in the community that just need a little assistance to come to fruition,” said John Castile, executive director of GCRA. “Those are the kind of applications we seek.”

available, he said. Applications are due March 22.

“We believe this is the beginning of the community mobilizing to provide diverse housing options for all residents in Greenville County,” Castile said.

The Greenville City Council established a similar fund to address the city’s shortage of more than 2,500 affordable housing units. The Greenville Housing Fund made its first loans last year, providing $863,000 for three projects that will build or preserve more than 100 affordable housing units.

More than 10 percent of teachers left SC classrooms last year n story by ARIEL GILREATH

More than 7,300 public school teachers in South Carolina left their classrooms in 2018, or about 14 percent more than in 2017. Of those, more than 5,300 teachers left South Carolina public schools entirely — about 10 percent of the state’s teaching workforce.

The data, highlighted by the Center for Educator Recruitment, Retention, and Advancement’s Annual Educator Supply and Demand Report, paint a troubling picture for South Carolina schools that worsens each year.

South Carolina has contended with a growing number of teachers leaving classrooms for the past seven years, exacerbated by a declining rate of students graduating with education degrees.

The number of students graduating each year with a teaching degree has dropped by 32 percent since 2012-13, while the number of total teaching positions has slowly increased.

The report, released the same day teachers in the Los Angeles Unified School District went on strike for the first time in 30 years, emphasizes a statewide shortage of teachers amid concerns shared by educators nationwide over low pay, large class sizes, and an increasing number of standardized tests.

Jennifer Garrett, coordinator of research and program evaluation with CERRA, said the

term “teacher shortage” wasn’t used in the report until a few years ago.

“Three, four years ago in the report is probably the first time we even said ‘teacher shortage,’” Garrett said. “I think it’s [come] over time, and I think it’s really concentrated in the last few years.”

Districts reported 621 teaching vacancies at the start of the 2018-19 school year — a 16-percent increase from the year before.

CERRA reported the most teaching vacan-

cies in special education, elementary/early childhood, math, and English language arts classes.

Along with veteran educators, first-year teachers have increasingly started leaving the profession — 25 percent of all first-year teachers hired in South Carolina’s public schools last year left.

This year, state legislators have promised education reform — less than a week into the 2019 legislative session, more than a dozen

SC teachers leaving the classroom have increased by 36% over the past 5 years.

ACCORDING TO CERRA

bills have already been filed regarding teacher compensation and retirement benefits.

“The salary increase is small — it’s very small — but at least it’s a sign of good faith,” Garrett said. “Is a salary increase going to fix this? No.” Garrett said teachers don’t go into the profession thinking they’ll make a lot of money, but a pay bump could still make a small impact.

Outside of low pay, Ansel Sanders, president and CEO of Public Education Partners, points to trust and respect as two major factors in the teacher shortage.

Sanders said the state saw a record number of teachers in the profession during the Great Recession little more than a decade ago. As the economy strengthened, the number of teachers steadily declined.

“That old adage, ‘If you can’t do anything else, you should teach,’ that is a statement that I think defines a lot of how we think about our teachers and how we value teachers,” Sanders said. “I think everybody would say they value teachers and respect them, but I think we have to align our policies and practices if we’re very serious about that. You’re seeing the shortage as a symptom of a deeper challenge to the profession itself.”

McMaster proposes 5 percent pay increase for teachers, freezing college tuition n story by ARIEL GILREATH

South Carolina teachers could see a 5 percent bump in salary next year if Gov. Henry McMaster’s proposed budget gets approved by the state Legislature.

The budget proposal, which was released by the governor Jan. 14, funds some of the requests state Superintendent Molly Spearman made in her proposed budget for the South Carolina Department of Education.

The governor aligned with the superintendent on a 5 percent acrossthe-board increase to teacher salaries and $5 million in additional funding for VirtualSC — the country’s fifth-largest state-funded virtual school, which had to turn down 3,303 enrollment requests last year.

The 5 percent increase would raise each step on the teacher salary schedule. The minimum amount for a first-year teacher with a bachelor’s degree would go from $32,000 to $33,600.

McMaster also allocated $46.4 million for school resource officers and $2.2 million for mental health counselors, but McMaster’s proposed $10 increase to the base student cost falls far short of Spearman’s request for a $162 increase.

Districts currently receive $2,485 per student, which falls hundreds of dollars short of what they should be receiving according to a formula from the 1977 Education Finance Act. Districts haven’t been fully funded since 1998, according to a report done by Clemson University researchers for the state Department of Education in 2017.

The department estimates districts would need to receive $3,095 per student to be fully funded.

Ryan Brown, spokesperson for the state Department of Education, said the base student cost has become so complex over the years that it doesn’t offer an accurate picture of how much it actually costs to educate a student.

Last year, the starting salary for first-year teachers increased from $30,000 to $32,000, but overall, teachers have received marginal raises in the past few years, typically ranging from 1 to 2 percent.

“An across-the-board raise in that amount has not happened in [at least] the last five years,” Brown said.

In a Jan. 17 letter addressed to South Carolina’s Office of Revenue and Fiscal Affairs, McMaster asked the agency to come up with a new formula to replace the 40-year-old Education Finance Act one by May 9.

“The formula has become outdated and fails to provide sufficient measures of accountability in student outcomes,” McMaster said in the letter.

The letter also asked the agency to look at options for increasing the starting teacher salary to $35,000.

In an attempt to stymie the rising cost of tuition, McMaster also allocated $35.6 million in the proposal for colleges that freeze their tuition for one year, which amounts to 6 percent of each college’s baseline budget.

South Carolina’s Commission on Higher Education reported in 2015 tuition in the state had increased by 761 percent since 1987.

SC for Ed, an advocacy organization in the state made up of educators, released a statement criticizing the 5 percent increase when compared with inflation over the years, saying veteran teachers make only $7,000 to $10,000 more than when they started 20 to 30 years ago.

“Considering the increasing teacher shortage crisis, we have to do more to make education a profession worth seeking in South Carolina,” the statement said. “Thus, we are willing to compromise at a 10 percent salary increase for educators across the board.”

The organization also requested a $50 increase to the base student T:10” cost instead of McMaster’s proposed $10 increase.

Local grants keep Safe Harbor up to the MATTERS challenge of addressing domestic violence GIVING

presented by the Community Foundation of Greenville

BY REBECCA HOWERTON

Domestic violence occurs in every community, and the Upstate is no exception. In Anderson, Greenville, Oconee, and Pickens counties, victims can call Safe Harbor 24/7 to access services including shelter, case management, counseling, advocacy and support groups. From January–November of 2018, Safe Harbor received 2,238 crisis calls—up 28 percent from 2017.

“These are people experiencing the worst day of the worst season of their lives. We’re there to help them get their bearings and figure out what to do next to be safe and independent,” said Becky Callaham, executive director. “We charge nothing for our services,whether they need someone to talk to, help making a safety plan, a safe place to stay with their children, or help getting an order of protection.”

In addition to intervention services, Safe Harbor offers prevention and community outreach programs like the school-based Relationship Education Project, which teaches middle and high-school students about healthy relationships and warning signs of relationship violence.

“It’s important to have those conversations with young people,” Callaham said.

“When you change attitudes, you can change

behavior and have a long-term impact.”

Other community outreach services include providing speakers for faith and community groups; trainings for healthcare providers, educators, and law-enforcement personnel; and advocacy to raise awareness among fellow community service providers of domestic violence, its impact, and services available at Safe Harbor.

Although federal grants cover many safety-net intervention services, other critical needs are met by gifts from local philanthropic organizations. In 2009, Greenville Women Giving, a special initiative of the Community Foundation, provided funding for security at Safe Harbor’s community services building.

A 2015 GWG Grant awarded $49,000 for the “ManUPstate” campaign, which encourages men to stand against mistreatment of women, create a culture of respect, and serve as role models for the next generation.

The Community Foundation has supported Safe Harbor through Capacity Building Grants and other programs geared towards increasing effectiveness, said Bob Morris, president.

“Becky and her team have attended Shine the Light Nonprofit Forums, professional development seminars that promote leadership of our local organizations. Safe Harbor also participated in a community-wide capacity initiative which collected data from

43 nonprofit partners to assess capacity needs and opportunities,” Morris said. “The Community Foundation invests in both programs to strengthen Greenville County’s nonprofit system.”

A 2014 Capacity Building Grant funded technology upgrades including new computers, an upgraded accounting system, and wireless Internet access. A second, in 2016, funded a feasibility study to gauge the community’s interest in and willingness tosupport the development of a new facility.

Results of the study were favorable, and beginning in 2019, Safe Harbor will begin raising funds to replace their current Greenville domestic violence shelter.

It comes not a moment too soon: The

current 34-bed facility was modified from a home built over 100 years ago. In the first 11 months of 2018, Safe Harbor had to turn away 313 families needing emergency shelter—up 29 percent from 2017. Not only is it crowded, it offers residents little privacy, with as many as eight clients sharing a bedroom.

“Our three shelters are usually full, so increasing capacity is important. But victims need more than a safe space to spend the night. After the trauma they’ve experienced, it’s hard to have to share a bedroom and bathroom with strangers,” Callaham said.

“The new facility will have privacy for families who are healing, plus thoughtful, comfortable spaces for teenagers and children.”

THE SCOOP We’ll start in the kitchen where the marbled countertops meet the tiled backsplash with warm hues. There’s paneling above the stove vent that is also found on the large island. The kitchen opens into a dining area, which flows into the den where you’ll find a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. This beautifully-crafted custom home has other can’t-miss features like a master suite with a double tray ceiling that opens to its own screened porch.

THE SCOOP This home’s allure begins as soon as you step in the front door and into the expansive living room with cathedral ceilings and an architectural stone fireplace. The room has chair rail crown molding adding another level of visual appeal. French doors open from the living room to a spacious screened porch. The kitchen has granite countertops, two pantries and custom cabinetry.

The master suite is on the main floor and there are three additional bedrooms upstairs.

Four simple ways to turn your backyard into a retreat

GREENVILLE’S AGENT 24/7 est. 2003

Look at your backyard as a blank canvas. You have the opportunity to personalize the space and have it become an inviting place for you, your family and guests. What are you drawn to? A quiet, relaxing area for unwinding? A play area for children? You can achieve your dream yard with a few easy steps.

NE

1 Comfortable

outdoor furniture

Gone are the days of uncomfortable outdoor furniture that requires replacing every couple of years. Upgrade to comfortable and stylish furniture that elevates your outdoor space. You can browse top picks here: https://bit.ly/2FBhf80.

2 Lighting Now that you’ve begun your backyard transformation, you’ll want to enjoy the space even after the sun sets. Check out the many options for outdoor lighting including illuminated walkways, gardens and flower beds lights and hardscape lighting along raised surfaces here: https://bit.ly/2GRcRj7.

3 Weatherproof

speaker system

Weatherproof speakers are a game-changer.

Forgo paying for a surround-sound system, but still have music on-hand for entertaining or just hanging out. There are options that come in natural tones and textures to blend into your setting.

Here are a few options: https://amzn.to/2FO77bp.

Known by the pseudonym A-N-D, one local artist brings more than his unusual name to the Greenville art scene.

A-N-D, pronounced “a-en-dee,” kicked off his career as a street artist in college, which prompted his curious name. After signing his street art with the name, A-N-D decided to carry it over into his more professional post-college work.

Now, he crafts art from jumbled letters and clear concepts—all involving a play on words. His unique style developed from his senior thesis at Anderson University, where he graduated with an art degree.

“Basically, I came up with this idea of how powerful words are,” he says. The scrambled letters allow people to interact with and interpret his work for themselves. “It becomes more about each person.”

Still radiating street art vibes, A-N-D’s artwork may either present extremely negative things or positive things based on the viewer’s connection of the letters. “Everything has a different meaning for different people,” he says.

The continued theme in his work is more

a warning than anything else—‘think before you speak.’ “Your words are powerful, but they also can be dangerous,” A-N-D says.

A-N-D feels his anti-bullying messages resonate more today than ever. Now, bullying can take the form of a social media comment, photo, or tweet, allowing mean words to be instantly exchanged with little thought.

His painting titled “Ready to Fire (Loaded)” represents the fact that 6,078 suicides occurred as a result of bullying in 2015. The bullet is loaded with letters, waiting to fire at its next victim. “[My work] is a little bit more personal, it’s not just pretty,” A-N-D says. “I like to have a message, a concept.”

In “Jab”, the punching bag shows that one in four women and one in seven men were involved in domestic abuse, including verbal abuse, in 2016.

Each step of his creative process also has detailed meaning. “I use black and white letters because people say everything is black and white,” he says. “Not to say it is or not but to question it and make people think.”

Jotting down objects, words, and other things he observes around him, A-N-D later forms art concepts and begins sketching.

“I pay attention to a lot of what’s going on in the news,” he says. “I’m influenced with what’s going on day by day.”

Using acrylic paint, charcoal, spray paint, ink, graphite, and printing, A-N-D creates a more free-flowing background on which the actual image carries the clear concept. His average artwork takes upward of 30 hours to complete, with layering and detailing. “Everything has very much a reason,” A-N-D says.

While most of his works are paintings, AN-D also makes woodcuts and lettermen, which are little stick-figure men carrying a single letter of the alphabet.

A-N-D’s purpose in his work isn’t for viewers to instantly grasp the meaning. He wants viewers to ponder his work and give it unique meaning. “Then, you’re going to think of something that I’ve never thought about,” he says.

Still looking for a local gallery, A-N-D annually participates in about 10 shows and art festivals. His work can be seen and purchased at thenameisa-n-d.com.

THE CRAFTED SPACE gives photographers, designers of all levels a place to explore, learn, and feel at home n story by SARA PEARCE | photos PROVIDED

photo by WILL CROOKS

Anna Duncan and Angie Johnston have known each other since high school volleyball, but it wasn’t until 2014 that they discovered their mutual interest in photography, design, and creating a community, and it wasn’t until fall 2018 that they shaped these passions into The Crafted Space.

The Crafted Space is a monthly content-building workshop where photographers and designers can come together to collaborate, learn, and most importantly create a community.

Each workshop takes place on the first weekend of the month and entails an approximately three-hour photoshoot that has been designed by Duncan and Johnston to allow photographers to sign up to take photos of their carefully curated backdrops and models and a 30-minute educational discussion on a particular topic.

While Johnston is the design expert of the two and Duncan is the photographer, everything they create is a collaborative effort by both.

“I tell everyone that the best way to come up with ideas is bouncing off each other,” Johnston says, “Anna’s brain works different than mine and mine works different than hers.”

Both women have been passionate about design and photography respectively for years, and this was a way to share those passions with others who are learning their way through the business or even seasoned professionals.

“I’ve always loved teaching and education and I feel like my career wouldn’t be where it is if it weren’t for the people that were a few steps ahead of me and helped to pull me up to where they are,” Duncan says, “I feel like there’s a big temptation in this industry to be very selfish with your knowledge even when most of us didn’t get it on our own.”

Duncan in particular had been a part of workshops, but she wanted there to be more; more often, more educational, and more accessible.

Duncan and Johnston both have found themselves specially, but not exclusively, in the wedding industry, which as they both stress, is very competitive in Greenville. “I think the

photographers appreciate it so much because it’s so hard in a competitive industry to stand out,” Johnston says, “The fun thing about photography is every single photographer has a different style and shoots it how they want to shoot it.”

Each shoot is inspired by a variety of things, often from Pinterest and Instagram. It could be a texture, a color, or even a dress that sparks the initial idea and it builds and evolves until its time to prep the shoot.

“We never want to have the same or similar pictures than what’s already out there which is really hard because there is so much out there,” Johnston says, “For us we look to those sources for inspiration, but we never want to copy things.”

The Crafted Space technically started in November, with a shoot for November and December to test the waters, and officially kicked off with the January workshop. The workshops gained popularity quickly, which neither of the women expected to happen so fast.

Their biggest goal for each workshop is to make everyone feel welcome and excited for the coming hours. There are drinks, snacks, and smiling faces waiting as each photographer walks through the door. “We don’t like a lot of structure,” Johnston explains that it can impede creativity and create more pressure for the photographers.

As for the future, both women are self-proclaimed dreamers. They hope to start quarterly destination workshops in cities around the Southeast, especially since most of their clientele travels in from outside of Greenville. They plan to start an all-encompassing podcast that will discuss their businesses, motherhood, The Crafted Space, and more. They also hope to begin hosting more educational workshops where they can delve deeper into topics that they only cover briefly at The Crafted Space, as they want it to be a hands-on experience.

“My goal in all of this was to make it a very welcoming place for everywhere,” Duncan says, “If you have a camera or any desire to grow your business, even if you’re just feeling it out, there’s a place for you at The Crafted Space.”

A TRIFECTA OF TALENT

Linger Longer with

WINTER SAVINGS PACKAGES

Liz Cooper & The Stampede deliver unique sound

n story by VINCENT HARRIS

HALF-MILE FARM A Luxury Country Inn

by Old EdwardsNC Highlands, Call 855-271-7246.

It’s fitting that Liz Cooper & The Stampede are a trio, because three key factors power the Nashville, Tennessee, band — singer/guitarist Cooper, bassist Grant Prettyman, and drummer Ryan Usher.

The first is courage. Before she started the band, Liz Cooper was 19, attending Towson University in Maryland on a golf scholarship.

But she had felt pulled toward music for years and finally decided she had to do something about it.

“I was 19 and very confused,” Cooper says.

“But I was so in love with music. It was one of those things where I had to do it. So after a lot of thought and terrible conversations with people, I just said, ‘I am moving to Nashville.’ I got into town and started figuring it out. I kind of went out on a limb and dove into the music.”

Cooper fell in with a forward-looking musical community in Nashville, one that included members of Cage the Elephant, The Weeks, The Wild Feathers, Jamestown Revival, Desert Noises, and Future Thieves. She also began playing live as much as possible, in bars, clubs, and at writers rooms, and that’s where we discover the second factor in the creation of The Stampede: a willingness to evolve.

Cooper came to Nashville as an acousticguitar-playing, folk-country artist; but that didn’t last long.

“I started playing electric guitar because I was playing these horrible four-hour gigs, and I had to learn how to jam,” she says. “I had to learn how to play rock music.”

By making that switch, Cooper essentially created the band’s sound. She took the intricate, finger-picking technique she played

on the acoustic guitar and applied it to the electric, which lends an atmospheric, hauntingly vast quality to the band’s “rock music.”

Combined with Prettyman’s insistent, pulsing bass and Usher’s intuitive, propulsive drumming, The Stampede plays a ghostly, ever-shifting style of soundscape-rock that doesn’t seem like it could possibly come from only three instruments.

Not that a trio was Cooper’s master plan. More accurately, it’s what she had in front of her.

LIZ COOPER & THE STAMPEDE, W/ NEW MADRID AND BABE CLUB WHEN 8 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 30 WHERE Radio Room, 110 Poinsett Highway, Greenville TICKETS $10 advance, $12 door INFO 864-609-4441, www.radioroomgreenville.com

“I’d never thought about it being a trio, I just started playing that way because that’s who was available to play the shows,” she says. “It was easy to round up two other people than it was three or four. But it complemented the way I play. It’s a really fun way to express ourselves in a three-piece because you can come in and out of the music.”

The sound that the trio create together is aptly represented on their new album, “Window Flowers.” The band loses itself in the album’s 11 tracks, casting the album in a sort of dreamlike trance, pushing the music forward and then falling back into Usher’s hypnotic grooves while Cooper’s honey-and-vinegar vocals float along the top. It’s a potent collaboration between The Stampede and their co-producer, T.J. Elias.

The band chose Elias to be behind the boards for a reason.

“I wanted to take advantage of what we had and not waste any time in the studio,” Cooper says. “We looked at T.J. because we already knew him, we were friends with him, and we could express ourselves and be honest with each other, which is the most important thing. That’s what was really special about working with him.”

Elias bathed The Stampede’s music in a warm, twilit glow, but those who go the band’s show at the Radio Room in Greenville on Wednesday might hear something quite different when the band is onstage. Which brings us to the third factor in what makes the trio so special: a sense of artistic restlessness that leads Cooper to view live performance and recording very differently.

“When we went into the studio, I wanted to try the things I’d heard in my head for the record,” she says. “But I’ve always enjoyed the experience of a record being different from the experience of a show. They’re two different things, and I enjoy them being different. I don’t want to go to a show and experience exactly what I did with the record.”

CONTEMPORARY STYLINGS OF THE GREAT AMERICAN SONGBOOK

VLADIMIR DEMIDOVICH’S WORK IS FEATURED ON THE COVER OF VGSC’S 2019 VISITOR’S GUIDE n story by SARA PEARCE | photos by WILL CROOKS

The cover of this year’s VisitGreenvilleSC visitors guide is graced by the artwork of Vladimir Demidovich, an immigrant who fell in love with Greenville like so many other Greenvillians have.

Demidovich came to the United States with his wife, Elena Kostiukova, in 2004 after winning the green card lottery to leave Kyrgyzstan. They first moved to Manchester, New Hampshire, where they found it was a little cold for their tastes and made their way to Greenville in 2007.

Demidovich has been an artist for his entire career. He attended art school in the Soviet Union and worked on public art projects to create mosaics, murals, and commercial posters. He was forced to push art to the wayside when the Soviet Union crashed, and he focused on business. “After the Soviet Union crashed, nobody needed or wanted art,” he explains.

When they came to America, he worked at a Sam’s Club and continued his art on the side, though he didn’t have much time to focus on art as they acclimated to American culture and worked to make ends meet.

When they moved to Greenville, he worked at Walmart for a time, but finally took the plunge to work on his art full-time.

His impressionistic landscapes, portraits, and still lifes show his passion for

bright colors and enhancing natural beauty. He primarily uses oils, pastels, and charcoal.

Demidovich didn’t start depicting scenes of Greenville in his work until it was suggested to him by a gallery owner in Greenville, who explained how popular scenes of downtown had become.

“Now I like to paint Greenville because I love this city,” he explains.

After applying last year for the visitors guide and not being chosen, he went ahead and submitted again, at his wife’s suggestion. While Demidovich was skeptical that he had been chosen, Kostiukova explained that an invitation to a VisitGreenvilleSC party was a dead giveaway.

“I’m very happy to have been chosen for this honor,” he says, adding that he doesn’t care too much for the attention and really just wants to focus on his painting. His goals are simple: “to live here and work, and make people happy with my bright pictures,” he says.

Demidovich has a permanent gallery at The Art Cellar in Greenville, as well as Bennetts’ Frame and Art Gallery. He has exhibited at Agora Gallery in New York City as well as other galleries around the Upstate.

THE ANCHORAGE NAMED TO INAUGURAL WORLD RESTAURANT AWARDS LONGLIST n story by ARIEL TURNER | photos by WILL CROOKS

The Anchorage restaurant at 586 Perry Ave. in the Village of West Greenville has been named one of 18 best restaurants in the world that doesn’t require reservations by the inaugural World Restaurant Awards.

The newly formed World Restaurant Awards were created by IMG, a leading events, media, fashion, and sports company, operating in more than 30 countries to recognize the culinary world in the same way as film, art, and music.

The winner of the “No Reservations” award will be announced Feb. 18 in Paris at the awards ceremony. The Anchorage is one of four U.S. restaurants to make the longlist alongside 14 others from around the globe.

The judging panel of 100 experts represents 37 different nationalities. The list of chefs on the panel reads like a culinary hall of fame lineup and includes Alex Atala of Brazil, Daniel Humm of NYC, Elana Arzak of Spain, Esben Bang of Norway, David Chang of NYC, René Redzepi of Denmark, Dan Barber of New York, Andreas Caminada of Switzerland, and Massimo Bottura of Italy. Many of them hold three Michelin stars and some have become near-household names thanks to various TV series, including Netflix’s Chef ’s Table.

Interestingly, The Anchorage executive chef and owner Greg McPhee and his wife, Beth, traveled to Italy and dined at Bottura’s three-star restaurant

Osteria Francescana in the summer of 2017. Instagram has the enviable photographic proof.

Based on the information on the World Restaurant Awards website, it’s unclear whether or not those on the panel visited any of the restaurants before adding them to the list.

Since opening in January of 2017, The Anchorage has received numerous accolades from food journalists and travel publications, but the highest honor so far came in 2018 when it was nominated for Best New Restaurant by the James Beard Foundation.

The Anchorage was the only South Carolina restaurant to make the Best New Restaurant list for 2018.

Greenville Symphony journeys from Arabian desert to snowy Russia Paul’s Pick of the Week

The Greenville Symphony Orchestra’s “Arabian Nights and Winter Dreams,” Saturday (8 p.m.) and Sunday (3 p.m.) at the Peace Center.

Why you should go

It’s a program of dazzling crowd-pleasers: the ever-popular orchestral showpiece “Scheherazade” by Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov followed by the First Symphony by Tchaikovsky.

“These are two jewels of the orchestral repertoire,” said Edvard Tchivzhel, the Greenville Symphony music director who’ll be on the podium.

“We like to warm our audiences with two great masterpieces in this chilly winter season,” he said.

What it’s all about

Rimsky-Korsakov drew inspiration for “Scheherazade” from “One Thousand and One Nights,” the magnificent collection of ancient Middle Eastern folk tales. The book has

captivated readers for centuries with its fanciful stories of princes, princesses, Sinbad (or Sindbad) the Sailor and other heroes.

“Rimsky-Korsakov was fascinated by the culture and legends of the East,” Tchivzhel said. “Before he became a celebrated composer, Rimsky-Korsakov served in the Russian Imperial Navy and traveled the world. His love of eastern culture is beautifully reflected in “‘Scheherazade.'”Among classical composers, Rimsky-Korsakov is a standout for his gift of orchestration.

“He brought brilliant colors to the orchestra,” Tchivzhel said.

What’s Tchivzhel’s favorite part of the work?

“I can’t choose a favorite,” he said. “I like every measure, every second of this piece. It’s a fantastic piece. I’m sure everyone will enjoy it.”

Spotlight on the concertmaster

The voice of Scheherazade, the legendary storyteller, is given to the solo violin, soaring

in suave melodies and tripping scales. Violinist Laura Colgate, enjoying her first year as the Greenville Symphony’s concertmaster, is the soloist.

From the desert to the snowy Russia

This weekend’s program takes the audience from “the hot Arabian night to the dreamy and poetic Russian winter,” Tchivzhel said.

Tchaikovsky’s First Symphony is titled “Winter Daydreams,” and it begins with a snowy sleighride.

Tchaikovsky was 26 when he wrote his First Symphony, but the youthful work reflects the mature composer’s fiery spirit and engaging tunefulness.

“It’s a very charming and sometimes dramatic work that ends on a joyous note,” Tchivzhel said.

GREENVILLE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA: “ARABIAN NIGHTS AND WINTER DREAMS” WHEN 8 p.m. Saturday; 3 p.m. Sunday (The Greenville Journal’s Paul Hyde will present a free pre-concert talk one hour before each performance.)
