One question lingered in the back of Steve Johnson’s mind — was he going to get cancer?

Given his family history, the question certainly was a logical one. His father died from the disease shortly after Johnson graduated from college. His father’s two sisters also died from cancer, and Johnson suspects his paternal grandparents did, too.

At the urging of his neighbor Dr. Larry Gluck, an oncologist and medical director of the Prisma Health Cancer Institute, Johnson decided to get genetically tested.

That decision saved his daughter’s life. The test revealed Johnson carried the BRCA1 gene mutation that indicates a higher risk of developing breast cancer. Two of his three daughters tested positive, and subsequent tests showed that one had breast cancer at a barely detectable point.

“It would have been a very different situation if my dad hadn’t gotten tested,” said Sarah Johnson-Taylor, a dentist in Annapolis, Maryland who was unaware she was at high risk until her father was genetically tested and she was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 31.

The Center for Cancer Prevention and Wellness is the cancer institute’s new initiative that aims to help Upstate families identify and manage their risk factors for cancer, examining the links between lifestyle, genetics and cancer formation, with a goal of eventually preventing cancer at its earliest molecular formation.

TWO- FOLD A PPROA CH

The program is taking a two-fold approach to cancer prevention.

First, the program aims to reduce a participant’s risk of cancer by offering free wellness screenings and suggested lifestyle modifications to reduce cancer from preventable causes, Gluck said.

Participants will return for free annual assessments to monitor

| NEWS

THE PROCESS

The project, which started in November, is now open to Upstate residents 18 and older of all genders, race and health status. The assessments are free, thanks to a grant from the Daniel-Mickel Foundation, money raised through fundraisers and other donors. Here’s what the assessment entails:

A personal and family health risk analysis

Non-invasive body composition analysis that digitally gathers biometric data ranging from weight, blood pressure, and percentage of body fat and muscle mass

Blood, urine and cheek swab samples are collected for bio banking

Upon completion, participant will receive recommendations to reduce their risk of cancer based on health history and behavioral and environmental factors

THE DOCTOR BECOMES THE PATIENT Dr. Gary Spitzer, who dedicated his life to cancer research and treatment, was diagnosed with Stage four colon cancer.

Dr. Gary Spitzer knows what it’s like to be on the cutting edge of cancer research.

He was one of the early pioneers in bone marrow transplantation at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, and he directed programs at St. Louis University and Georgetown.

He started a program at Bon Secours St. Francis Health System.

He is now a biotechnology consultant and chief medical officer of Cadex Genomics, a company that is studying a product that would help doctors determine whether stage four cancer patients are responding to therapy.

He’s also a stage four colon cancer patient.

He supports the Center for Cancer Prevention and Wellness’ new initiative to help people identify and manage their risk of cancer while analyzing the way cells are genetically modified through daily behaviors in an effort to prevent cancer at its earliest molecular development. But, he said, the program must have big enough numbers.

“The bottom line is the study is essential, but it must be large and the whole community must have access to it,” said Spitzer, who supports bringing a genome lab and technology to Greenville. “We need to be one of the big silos of data in this country.”

In addition, he said, more research needs to be done on people who are living with incurable cancers.

He said Prisma’s integrative oncology program is the only one in the state that addresses the complicated issues of balancing the need of productive individuals living with incurable cancer with the complexities of cancer treatment.

“The integrative oncology program is trying to address the unique needs of the survivor with cancer,” he said. “It’s a much more difficult problem to manage than a survivor.”

DR. GARY SPITZER oncologist

health changes and progress towards wellness goals. The National Cancer Institute estimates that controllable factors such as smoking, diet and sedentary lifestyles account for up to 70 percent of cancers.

The second part of the program collects blood, urine and cheek swab samples from participants for bio banking, or long-term storage of molecular material, at the Institute for Translational Oncology Research, part of the cancer

institute, Gluck said. Through a longitudinal study of a cross section of the Upstate’s population, he said researchers hope to analyze the way cells are genetically modified through daily behaviors.

Gluck said that a cancer the size of a fingernail contains a billion cancer cells. Because it grows by doubling, from one cell to two, from two cells to four, it takes years before it gets to an appreciable mass.

“As we collect and study this data from CCPW, we anticipate that we will eventually be able to identify a molecular alteration in its early stages and intercede before cancer truly appears.”

DR. LARRY GLUCK

“The time the cancer is developing at a molecular level but undetectable by routine scans and testing is the critical time to enact interventions that may be able to stop further cancer development,” Gluck said. “As we collect and study this data from CCPW, we anticipate that we will eventually be able to identify a molecular alteration in its early stages and intercede before cancer truly appears.”

The project started in November on a pilot basis with hospital employees, Gluck said. In an overwhelming number of cases, participants received recommendations for behavior modification or screenings. “It’s an honest look at where you are and what you might do to actually prevent cancer,” Gluck said. Baby boomers may be told to get screened for Hepatitis C, which can increase chances of liver cancer if not treated, Gluck said. Other participants might be told to modify their diets or that the number of alcoholic drinks they have per day puts them more in a danger zone, he said.

The project, which is believed to the be first of its kind, is now open to Upstate residents 18 and older of all genders, race and health status. The assessments are free, thanks to a grant from the Daniel-Mickel Foundation, money raised through fundraisers and other donors.

Gluck said the project is inspired by the Framingham Heart Study, a longitudinal study in 1948 in Massachusetts to identify common factors that contribute to cardiovascular disease. Through 70 years of data collection from 14,000 participants, the results have informed much of todays knowledge about cardiovascular disease and stroke, including knowledge about the detrimental effects of high blood pressure, high cholesterol and smoking.

“We are taking a similar approach to cancer,” he said. “We want to help individuas take steps to better their health and reduce their risk of cancer from preventable causes, but we also want to identify patterns over time that could demonstrate facts about cancer that we don’t even know yet.

But to do that, we need participation from a broad swath of the community.”

COMMUNITY

Is church land part of the answer to Greenville’s affordable housing crisis? Some say yes. n story by CINDY LANDRUM | photo by JACK CONNOLLY

Faith communities in Greenville County own 5,270 acres, or about 8.25 square miles, of land.

There’s also an affordable-housing shortage in the county — more than 2,500 units in the city of Greenville and an additional 9,500 units outside the city’s boundaries.

Can the former help address the latter?

Yes, say members of JustFaith Greenville, an organization devoted to helping people put their faith into action to make Greenville a more compassionate place to live.

“We believe our churches and other communities of faith have a role in finding solutions,” said Susan Stall, one of the coordinators of a recent forum held at Augusta Heights Baptist Church.

Some churches already are, including Augusta Heights. When the church in 2010 proposed selling a portion of its property on Augusta Road — the site of its no-longer-needed parsonage — to an affordable-

housing developer, some residents and business owners vehemently protested.

They said the development wasn’t in keeping with the surrounding neighborhood, would generate too much traffic, and would lead to an increase in crime. Some formed a corporation, Preserve Augusta Road Gateway Inc., and filed a lawsuit to try to stop it.

Today, the 37-unit complex is an example of how affordable housing can blend into and become part of a community, said Dan Weidenbenner of JustFaith Greenville.

Allen Temple AME Church has constructed nearly 80 affordable rental homes in Greenville neighborhoods such as Judson, Southernside, Nicholtown, and Pleasant Valley, and in Pickens County.

“We traditionally have been the first into certain neighborhoods, and those neighborhoods change,” said the Rev. James Speed, Allen Temple’s pastor. “We’ve been

instrumental in turning neighborhoods around.”

St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church buys, renovates, and rebuilds homes in the neighborhood surrounding the church for affordable housing. The church also helps seniors pay their rent when it increases.

St. Andrew Episcopal Church set aside money from a capital campaign to preserve 10 affordable homes in its community.

Jeff Randolph, president of TRG Communities, an affordable-housing developer, said that to create affordable housing, there has to be some type of subsidy, whether it be a donation of land where a house can be built or an investor who is willing to wait on a return.

All housing is subsidized housing, Speed said. The subsidy can come on the front end or the back end in the form of the mortgage interest deduction given to homeowners on their federal tax returns, he said.

Greg Dover is the pastor of Augusta Heights Baptist Church. The church sold a portion of its property to an affordable housing developer who built 37-unit complex. The church is working on another deal that would put some affordable housing on another portion of its property.

Tammie Hoy-Hawkins, program coordinator for the Greenville Housing Fund established by the city in 2017 to address the affordable-housing shortage, said that when she worked in Charleston, some African-American congregations that were leaving the city’s core because residents were moving to less expensive neighborhoods built rental housing on their land.

It served two purposes — as an income source for the church and to increase affordable housing for the city’s working class.

But Greenville and Greenville County are not going to be able to build their way out of the problem, said Bucky Tarleton, an affordable-housing advocate. Better education, jobs, and transportation are needed to attack the root of the problem, he said.

“The faith community is going to be very important in that because that’s what your faith is all about,” Tarleton said.

Augusta Heights Baptist Church hosted a recent forum discussing the role churches and faith communities have in the affordable housing crisis.

1990 COLD CASE DISCOVERY

Greenville police arrest suspect in cold Julie Valentine case

n story by ARIEL GILREATH | photos PROVIDED

It’s been 29 years since Julie Valentine’s lifeless body was found in a cardboard box in a field off of Hilton Street in Greenville.

Just days old, she was wrapped in pages of The Wall Street Journal and covered in rags — an umbilical cord hung loosely around her neck.

CHARGED WITH HOMICIDE & CHILD ABUSE

BROOK GRAHAM 53 YEARS OLD 11315 HAMPDEN DRIVE, GREENVILLE Through DNA technology service Parabon NanoLabs, detectives with the Greenville Police Department were able to identify and arrest the suspected mother — 53-yearold Brook Graham of 11315 Hampden Drive in Greenville.

An autopsy of the infant showed she was alive after birth, and as a result, Graham has been charged with homicide by child abuse.

“The baby was driven to a field not far from where the mother lived [at the time] and was discarded along with a pile of other debris that was located in the field,” Police Chief Ken Miller said at a press conference Thursday morning.

Miller said the department started working on the case in October or November after solving the decades-old Jenny Zitricki case using Parabon NanoLabs.

“The technology gives us the leads that we need to re-activate a case, and then our detectives actually have to work that case much like they would any traditional case, and so it takes a lot of legwork, a lot of coordination, and a lot of teamwork within the detective division to bring closure to these cases to help guide them through,” Miller said.

Miller said the department is also working on about 16 other cold cases, and that the Zitricki case served as a field test for using the genealogy service.

“We had done kind of a field test with Jenny Zitricki’s case, and so we were examining our other cases where we felt we might be able to make progress,” Miller said.

The detectives were able to determine the DNA of the father of Julie Valentine through a voluntary genealogy service that Parabon identified. Lt. Jason Rampey said the results of the test came back April 1. The father then cooperated with law enforcement to help identify Graham as the suspected mother, and a warrant for her arrest was issued the evening of April 3.

Greenville Police Chief Ken Miller announces the arrest of Brook Graham, a suspect in the 29-year-old cold case of the death of infant Julie Valentine.

“The father identified who, in his mind, clearly had to be the mother in this case,” Miller said. “We do have some question as to whether or not the father was aware the child was born, but again the case is very much active for us even though an arrest has been made.”

Rampey said the department’s current information indicates the father did not know the child was born, but

the case is still being investigated.

The South Carolina Public Index for Greenville County lists several prior criminal charges for fraudulent checks of less than $1,000 for Graham. Miller said Graham still lives in Greenville and has two children.

Retired Cpt. Terry Christy was one of the detectives on the scene nearly three decades ago when a 32-year-old man who was picking

wildflowers for his wife found the 6.5-pound infant in the field on Feb. 13, 1990.

“It seems like every detective in the division went out to work,” Christy said. “It takes more out of you to see a child being violated or neglected like that.”

Christy’s then-girlfriend and now wife, Juliana Christy, worked as a victim’s advocate for the city at the time. Detectives decided to name the baby “Julie Valentine” partly after Juliana and because she was discovered the day before Valentine’s Day.

“

ALTHOUGH TODAY WE FEEL SOME SATISFACTION, SOME CLOSURE AND JUSTICE, AT THE SAME TIME, WE GRIEVE. WE GRIEVE THE LOSS OF WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN. SHAUNA GALLOWAY-WILLIAMS executive director Julie Valentine Center

“The justice for Julie is just all these years, the love that people have had for her and not to forget her,” Terry Christy said. “It is good to finally know, get some closure, on the parents of the child and other relatives she might have had. But

the justice has been keeping her alive all these years.”

The Julie Valentine Center, a nonprofit started in 1974 for abuse victims, was named after the infant in 2011.

“Although today we feel some satisfaction, some closure and justice, at the same time, we grieve. We grieve the loss of what could have been,” Executive Director of the center Shauna Galloway-Williams said at the press conference. “This is the complicated nature of child abuse — the wondering of what life could have been like if only. The question of why, as if there is any explanation that would really explain such a horrific act as this one, this is the question we all ask when a child has been abused. The community, the professionals, the survivors, we all ask why, as if the answer would make us feel any better or to understand.”

Galloway-Williams said Julie Valentine has become a symbol and a call to action in the community to better prevent child abuse.

“There are ways that we all honor Julie Valentine every day — when members of our community report abuse, we honor her memory,” Galloway-Williams said. “We may never be able to answer the question of why this happened to her, but we know that together we can honor Julie Valentine every day with simple acts of kindness, service, and love for every member of the Greenville community.”

Christy said he was excited to find out a suspect had been arrested in the case, which he never considered to be cold.

“It’s always been in our minds,” Christy said.

NEED TO KNOW

The South Carolina Governor’s School for Arts and Humanities has asked for $2.26 million in budget requests from the state’s General Assembly, most of which would be used for facility repairs.

Since the Governor’s School is a state-funded, specialized school, it doesn’t receive the local funding school districts get — nearly all of its revenue comes from state appropriations.

About $166,000 of the budget requests are recurring funds for teacher salary step increases as well as two positions — a building and grounds specialist and a production manager.

The bulk of the requests — $1.92 million — is for maintenance and replacements.

Cedric Adderley, president of the school, told board members the state’s House Ways and Means committee only approved the $120,000 requested for the roof replacement, but the requests are now in the hands of the state Senate.

“The House Ways and Means committee did not smile upon us too much,” Adderley said.

Adderley said he’s hopeful the Senate will approve more of the requests, including the mandated salary step increases for teachers.

“That’s a budget hole every year for us,” Chairman Chad Prosser said.

Adderley said the Governor’s School is about $1 million behind in operational expenses compared to a decade ago.

“There’s a bit more work to do, but we do hope we’ll get a bit more out of the Senate,” Adderley said.

The school is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year since it initially opened doors as a residential high school for juniors.

“In 20 years, most of these things start needing to be replaced,” Prosser said. “So we’re at the end of that cycle of useful life.”

Board member Bob Hughes joked the school could take a page out of A.J. Whittenberg Elementary School of Engineering’s playbook — the school’s dining furniture came from a closed Chinese restaurant.

Christina Vandiver, director of public relations at the school, said in a released statement that few state agencies will be granted their full budget requests this year.

“Last year, the school was granted $632,000 to upgrade the fire protection system, replace the core switch for the campus technology system, and hire a Director of Outreach and Engagement,” Vandiver said. “Although the full list of priorities for FY20 is in excess of $2 million, it has been determined that few state agencies will be allocated their full request and the Governor’s School is no exception. As always, Dr. Adderley remains hopeful for additional appropriations beyond what was proposed.”

The school’s total budget this year is about $10 million, according to Vandiver. B:10”

‘I THINK HE’S DEAD’

“

THIS WORLD REALLY IS FULL OF GOOD PEOPLE. SOME OF THE BAD ONES KIND OF SPOIL IT, BUT THERE’S A LOT OF GOOD PEOPLE.”

Principal recalls hit and run on Woodruff Road that nearly killed cyclist n story and photo by ARIEL GILREATH

BEN MCCALL JULIE COOKE

principal of Lake Forest Elementary School

Julie Cooke was driving home when she thought she saw a tire fly off the car in front of her — in reality, it was cyclist Ben McCall and his bike soaring through the air after an SUV crashed into him.

Cooke, the principal of Lake Forest Elementary School, can still remember the sound of McCall hitting the pavement.

“I heard the sound. I’ll never forget it,” Cooke said.

McCall had just dropped his son off at soccer practice when he took his bike out for a ride on East Georgia Road. McCall’s route had him on an undeveloped, two-lane section of Woodruff Road near Simpsonville for only a few hundred yards before turning onto Anderson Ridge Road.

In the short span between Anderson Ridge road and East Georgia Road, a car driving eastbound crashed into him.

“I was actually on the phone with my administrator — I screamed, ‘I just witnessed a tragic accident,’” Cooke said. “I said, ‘I think he’s dead.’”

April 14

Cooke, who had been driving right behind the vehicle that crashed into McCall, jumped out of her car and started waving her arms to get cars to stop before they reached McCall, who was lying in the middle of the road. Cooke said she was almost hit by another vehicle before passerby stopped to block and re-direct traffic.

Cooke said when one passerby asked who hit McCall, a man standing off to the side said he did it.

“That guy said, ‘It was me. I hit him — it was me,’” Cooke said. “I looked at him. Initially, I felt bad.”

But by the time law enforcement arrived on the scene, the man was gone.

McCall was airlifted to a Prisma Health— Upstate facility and spent 10 hours in surgery before going to the Shepherd Center Rehabilitation Hospital in Georgia.

Cooke didn’t realize until the next day that McCall also worked for Greenville County Schools as a network engineer in the Information Technology Department.

April 18

“I feel like we’re one big family,” Cooke said.

McCall had more than 30 broken bones, including his spine and one of his femurs.

Both of his lungs had collapsed, he had severe artery damage, and he suffers from a traumatic brain injury. McCall has no memories of that day or half of the day prior to the accident.

“I do remember waking up at the Shepherd’s Center not knowing where I was at,” McCall said. “I thought I had been kidnapped.”

McCall said he told his doctors he was going to walk out of the Shepherd’s Center when he left, and last month, he did. He met with a neurologist last week for a check-up.

“He was blown away. He didn’t expect me to recover like that,” McCall said. “He said that even after they finished the surgery, he thought that I would be a quadriplegic.”

McCall will never be able to cycle again — his spine is too fragile from the injuries he sustained in the hit and run — but he says

April 2 1

it’s because of the accident he has a new outlook on life.

“I just appreciate people and things more, like Julie,” McCall said, and said he credits Cooke for helping save his life.

Cooke was given a Miracle Workers Award by Greenville County Schools in March for her efforts to help save McCall.

Law enforcement still hasn’t found the suspect in the hit and run — Cooke described him as a young, white male in his 20s or 30s.

McCall is hopeful law enforcement will find the person who hit him. In the meantime, he’s juggling medical bills and working with an attorney to help him navigate the financial burden.

From Cooke to law enforcement to the passersby who stopped to help him, McCall said he’s been overwhelmed with support and love.

“This world really is full of good people,” McCall said. “Some of the bad ones kind of spoil it, but there’s a lot of good people.”

OPINION

DEM’S VAWA BILL A “POLITICAL MESSAGING TOOL” There are two kinds of bills that get introduced in Congress: substantive legislation and “messaging bills.” Substantive legislation is introduced to make thoughtful changes to our laws and is typically negotiated and vetted by both Congress and the White House far in advance of debate on either the House or Senate floor. Some recent examples include criminal justice reform, tax reform, and bills providing regulatory relief to small businesses. Messaging bills, on the other hand, are pieces of legislation that the sponsor introduces knowing they have no chance of becoming law. They are statements made by legislators to a specific community – most often a voting base – to let them know that they care about an issue.

While substantive bills deserve our time, messaging bills are rarely productive and often a waste of increasingly rare floor time.

One of my biggest criticisms of Democratic Leadership is the unrelenting frequency with which they offer messaging bills for debate on the House floor instead of substantive legislation. After three months in Congress, few meaningful pieces of substantive legislation have been put forth for a vote. Even fewer will be signed into law.

Just this week, House Democrats will put another messaging bill on the floor, this time in the form of a reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). At its core, VAWA is a federal grant program which provides support to state and local law enforcement to fight domestic violence.

As a former prosecutor of domestic violence cases, this is an important issue to me, and this is a program that must be reauthorized.

Unfortunately, House Democrats have included a number of provisions in the bill

Say

that are largely unrelated, and perhaps antithetical, to VAWA’s core function. The Democrats’ version of VAWA provides new legal rights for transgender prisoners, deprives individuals of Second Amendment Rights without due process, severely restricts a prosecutor’s ability to compel victim testimony, and fails to provide religious liberty protections for faith-based organizations.

Putting aside the merit of any of these proposals, Democratic Leadership knows that their inclusion, in total, makes it nearly impossible for any Republican to vote for the bill and dooms it to failure in the Senate. The Democrats have turned VAWA into a social justice reform bill that amounts to nothing more than a progressive wish list to appease the far left. The main sponsor of the bill, Representative Karen Bass (D-CA), even called the Violence Against Women

Act “gender neutral legislation.”

Domestic violence should never be a political messaging tool. That is why earlier this week, I cosponsored an alternative bill, authored by Representative Elise Stefanik (R-NY), that would provide a clean, one-year reauthorization of VAWA. I readily admit that this short-term reauthorization is not a perfect outcome. There are steps we can and should take to improve this program, but a short-term reauthorization would provide support and stability to law enforcement officials across the country while we debate this matter further.

Congress must spend more time fixing our biggest problems and less time trying to deliver political “wins” for our respective parties. The culture in Washington has to change. America deserves better.

t’s been some 50 years since Edd Sheriff decided to look for a job that was all about others. What he found was a long, satisfying career at Mackey Funerals & Cremations.

“I’ve always had a desire to serve,” says Edd, a respected elder at Greenville’s oldest funeral home. “Being a funeral director allows me to make a difference during a family’s most difficult time.” And make a difference, he does. Edd is one of those rare people who can get families to smile, even in those difficult times. Greenvillians have long preferred Mackey, a fact Edd attributes to a tradition of compassionate expertise. “We offer impeccable service,” he says, noting they serve families of all faiths, all income levels. “People trust us.” Now semi-retired, Edd works with families who request him; in the meantime, he enjoys traveling, cooking and entertaining. During his halfcentury with Mackey, Edd has seen a growing preference for personalized memorials. “We don’t like cookie-cutter funerals,” he says, and often adds unique touches to tell an individual’s story – playing favorite music, perhaps, or holding the funeral in a special location. “We work closely with families to ensure a tailor-made service that celebrates their loved one’s life.”

BRIDGING THE HOUSING GAP IN GREENVILLE

New CommunityWorks president sees opportunity for growth inside and outside Greenville n story by CINDY LANDRUM

Plenty of work remains to help turn the two Greenvilles that exist today — one where the economy is growing at full throttle and the other where more people are falling further into poverty — into one, says the new president and CEO of CommunityWorks.

And the nonprofit financial organization will continue to address the gap by providing affordable-housing loans, community loans, small-business loans and coaching, and banking services such as consumer loans and homebuyer assistance programs for people not served by traditional lenders, said Tammie Hoy-Hawkins, who will take the helm of CommunityWorks in January.

But there’s an opportunity for the organization to scale up its services to serve more people and communities in Greenville County and beyond, she said.

“There are a lot of haves and havenots across the Upstate,” Hoy-Hawkins said, “and if we’re really going to chisel away at that and raise equity and inclusion, it’s not just about one city in one community. It’s about a broader approach. I think there’s some opportunities to look at other communities in our state that we can support.”

CommunityWorks is working on a new strategic plan that will guide what that looks like.

Hoy-Hawkins said she expects CommunityWorks to continue to play a big role in affordable housing, an issue that has come to the forefront in the city of Greenville and in Greenville County in recent years.

CommunityWorks could also play a significant role in investing resources in place-based initiatives similar to

Spartanburg’s Northside Initiative, a comprehensive redevelopment plan to transform the city’s north side, said Hoy-Hawkins, who has been serving as project manager.

“It’s a growing model across the country, and I think CommunityWorks can play a significant role in investing resources and talent in those types of opportunities,” she said.

While CommunityWorks reaches 26 counties in South Carolina, HoyHawkins believes there are opportunities for further expansion.

“There’s a lot of demand for the types of programs and products that CommunityWorks offers. One of the challenges in South Carolina is that there’s not organizations like CommunityWorks across the state,” she said.

ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA CATHOLIC SCHOOL

Nurturing atmosphere prepares students to achieve without limits n story by REBECCA HOWERTON | photos PROVIDED

Maybe it’s the warm welcome of Dean of Students Carolyn Lenhardt, who knows, as she has for 47 years, when a student needs a little extra love. Maybe it’s the teachers, who take time on evenings, weekends, and summers to offer more opportunities for students and their families. Maybe it’s the alumni who come back to provide living proof to current students that they can become judges, pastors, police officers, and poets. Maybe it’s all of those things, and a 68-year history spanning generations, that make people say St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School “feels like home.”

Their pastor for the past 15 years, the Rev. Patrick Tuttle, said the school’s familial culture primes children for success in school and life. Values learned there benefit students long after they leave, following them through high school and beyond.

“We educate children not only with academics, but also with character formation.

When children understand they are the apple of God’s eye, and base their self-esteem on God’s opinion, they feel more comfortable and secure to learn,” Tuttle said. “We are adding to the increasing graduation rates in the city — 100 percent of our students graduated high school and 100 percent earned college admission.”

The Rev. Patrick Tuttle talks to students at St. Anthony of Padua Catholic School.

What started as a ministry to help neigh-

borhood children from low-income families get ready for elementary school has grown to include 145 students from 3-year-old prekindergarten through sixth grade, all of whom qualify for free lunch. Many parents now drive their children from other areas of Greenville to attend the school.

“Although the neighborhood demographics have changed, St. Anthony of Padua remains true to its mission to teach children, some with limited resources, and to make college possible for them,” said Bob Morris, president of the Community Foundation.

“Many of these students have graduated and gone on to become leaders themselves.”

The Community Foundation recently gave the school $40,042 from its Margaret Linder Southern Endowment Fund for technology upgrades designed to allow students to learn at their own pace, without limits. Children who have benefited include a fifth grader who is now reading at an 11thgrade level, and a third grader doing 10thgrade math.

“

WHAT DREW ME HERE WAS THE FAMILY ATMOSPHERE, THEIR VISION, AND THE FEELING WE REALLY ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN OUR CHILDREN’S LIVES.

PRINCIPAL MARY MARGARET MARTIN “They have the opportunity to compete against themselves — they want to beat their last score,” Tuttle said. “The technology allows the competitiveness of students to take them as far and fast as they can go.”

Tuttle said arts education is another way St. Anthony allows children to transcend

perceived limits. In addition to art, music options include orchestra, choir, and piano lessons. If a child wants to learn to play an instrument the school doesn’t own, the staff reaches out to the community to find one.

“When information is encountered and engaged to the arts and they can use it to paint, write a poem, or sing, our students surprise us over and over. They remember and process better,” Tuttle said.

After-school activities include chess, karate, and etiquette classes as well as aviation and cooking clubs. Summer Academy keeps the instruction going year-round, complete with trips and hands-on experiences.

Principal Mary Margaret Martin said the school’s quarterly Parent University offers a variety of practical topics like budgeting, student enrichment, and time-management strategies. Monthly family-fun activities draw a crowd that includes extended family. Martin said she and the other staff members enjoy these events and cheering their students on at games and recitals.

“What drew me here was the family atmosphere, their vision, and the feeling we really are making a difference in our children’s lives,” she said. “We are rewarded by seeing how important it is to parents and the smiles on the children’s faces.”

‘COME FROM AWAY’ musical sheds light on 9/11 tragedy story by MELODY CUENCA | photos by MATTHEW MURPHY

“Come From Away” APRIL 16-21

Peace Center, 300 S. Main St., Greenville $ 3 5 - $10 0 | W W W . P E A C E C E N T E R . O R G Experience the heart of the remarkable true story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them.

“Everyone has a different story, and everyone has memories,” actor Becky Gulsvig says of the 9/11 tragedy that shook our nation nearly 18 years ago.

Most Americans watched the horror unfold on television screens — feeling completely helpless. Others actually saw the towers crumbling and panicked people running through the city.

Gulsvig helps tell a different side of the story — a brighter, inspiring side. She plays the role of pilot Beverley Bass, along with other characters, in Broadway’s “Come From Away.” Bass was the first female American Airlines pilot to be named captain.

The musical retells the true story of 38 planes — carrying a

total of 7,000 passengers — and their emergency landings in a little Newfoundland town. After the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration closed American airspace, planes were forced to land elsewhere.

The town of Gander welcomed these stranded passengers for five days. “It is really just an extraordinary story of kindness and generosity, and people just taking care of each other in light of such a tragedy,” Gulsvig says.

The main theme, she says, is simple — take care of one another. “So many crazy, terrible things can happen in this world, but it is not hard to be kind,” Gulsvig says. “And when bad things happen, a lot of kindness and generosity can come out of those bad things.”

THINGS TO SEE & DO

“Come From Away” serves as a reminder that a little kindness can go a long way to unite people in dark times.

In the middle of the musical, a song called “Prayer” shows people of different religions praying in different languages.

“

SO MANY CRAZY TERRIBLE THINGS CAN HAPPEN IN THIS WORLD, BUT IT IS NOT HARD TO BE KIND. BECKY GULSVIG actor

“[The song] is such a wonderful example of everyone is praying to something and everyone is hoping for something better,” she says. “We are all in this together even though it may not seem like we are at times.”

LIVING GALLERY

Paintings move, breathe at ‘Living Gallery: Somewhere Forever’ n story by MELODY CUENCA | photos by BOB JONES UNIVERSITY

Larger-than-life artwork leaps off the walls and onto the stage once again for Bob Jones University’s “Living Gallery: Somewhere Forever” leading up to Easter.

A unique Upstate tradition since 1998, “Living Gallery” blends live paintings and sculptures with music and an original play to tell the story of Jesus’ life and ministry.

Director Jeff Stegall says this year’s play, which was first done in 2012, is his favorite — and not just because his wife, Kim, is the playwright. Set in a coffee shop called Java Babble, “Living Gallery” shows various characters’ lives intersecting on their individual journeys.

“It’s not all wrapped up in a tight bow that everybody is on the right path at the end of the play, but I think that’s probably true to life, too,” Stegall says.

In addition to favorite masterpieces like Leonardo da Vinci’s “Last Supper” and Adam Lenckhardt’s “Descent from the Cross,” audiences will see a live painting new to the 21-year-old production.

“We’re starting the program with our first secular painting that we’ve ever used,” Stegall says.

Edward Hopper’s iconic 1942 “Nighthawks” takes the stage to show four isolated individuals oc-

TABLEAU VIVANT noun

cupying a diner in the middle of the night.

“There’s no door that you see, so they’re sort of trapped in there,” Stegall says. Many believe the painting to be a statement about loneliness and isolation in even the most populated of places.

The production then transitions to show the modern-day gathering place of Java Babble. Kim Stegall, who frequents many local cafes, found herself overhearing interesting conversations through the years. So, she decided to create characters from snippets of these real-life interactions.

With the tableau vivant-style artwork accompanied by music shown between scenes of the drama, audiences are guided through multiple spiritual journeys.

“Ideally, we like it if the characters’ conversation gets us to think about our situation, and then we go and look at the art where Christ is depicted throughout his ministry and during the Passion week,” Jeff Stegall says.

As the only place in the Eastern U.S. to see tableau vivant, “Living Gallery” draws the university’s largest crowds each year. “It’s been an exciting ministry for the university and an outreach to the community,” he says.

GOING SOLO

Tyler Ramsey performing new album at Horizon Records n story by VINCE HARRIS | photos PROVIDED

Tyler Ramsey is as surprised as anyone that it’s been almost eight years since his last solo album. But there are some pretty good reasons for that gap, most notably that for six of those years, Ramsey served as lead guitarist for the folk-rock sensation Band of Horses.

“I was fully absorbed in touring and doing a couple of records with the band, and time flew by as it does when you’re wrapped up in a project,” Ramsey says. “I didn’t feel like it had been that long; when I hear now the amount of time that’s passed, it’s surprising to me because I’ve been able to be creative.

Hopefully there won’t be a big gap of time again.”

Part of the reason that Ramsey can work a little faster on his own music now is that he left Band of Horses in 2017 after several intense cycles of touring and recording.

There are moments in Ramsey’s songs that are reminiscent of Neil Young in his folk-music phase, and others that bring to mind the chiming country-rock guitars and rich vocal harmonies of bands like The Byrds or the Eagles, and he explores those sounds to the fullest on his just-out album “For the Morning.”

The idyllic arrangements were inspired by the bucolic scenery around his home in the mountains outside Asheville, North Carolina, but the album itself has more restless origins.

“It’s a record that represents a lot of change,” Ramsey says. “It’s a big shift. I’d attribute that to constant having moved into being a dad, making decisions about moving forward in my career, that was all going on when I was writing the songs.”

In fact, some of the songs were written when Ramsey was still part of Band of Horses, most notably “A Dream of Home,” a harmony-drenched midtempo rocker about being on the road and thinking of home.

“That song reflects my life and being torn between the path I was on and a simpler, more grounded way,” Ramsey says. “That reflects that yearning for a different path.”

Even though Ramsey is happier as a solo artist on a smaller scale than Band of Horses, he still struggles with the conflict of pursuing his music and spending time with his wife and young daughter.

“When I walk out the door to go on tour, I know that I’m going to do what I’ve been preparing myself to do my whole life,” he says. “I’m torn; but the flip side is that when I come home, I’m 100 percent home. I can hang out with my daughter all the time. I get this solid block of time where it’s us hanging out

| ARTS & CULTURE

and doing everything we want to do together.”

The “For the Morning” album is rich with intricate, layered, full-band arrangements, which will make things interesting when Ramsey plays the material solo in a show at Horizon Records on Saturday.

“My goal is to write songs that people can get engaged with, with just a guitar and a voice,” he says. “My hope is that I’m writing songs that are engaging enough and people won’t think there’s anything missing.”

The show is part of Horizon’s celebration of Record Store Day, a day that recognizes independent brick-and-mortar record stores around the country.

“It’s important to keep record stores going all over the place,” Ramsey says.

“It was where I discovered all of my new music. But the main thing is that I’ve known Gene Berger [the owner of Horizon] forever. He’s always been such a huge supporter of local music and music in general. He’s helped me out so much over the years, so when I talked to him about the possibility of doing it, it was a no-brainer to get in there and play.”

The first thing 83-year-old Tom Jones did when I met him was apologize for not being the famous Tom Jones, the singer. The second thing he did was invite me into his lovely home at the Rolling Green Village retirement community and show me some of the dulcimers he’s spent the last 45 years building.

The first time Jones saw a dulcimer was in the early 1970s after moving from eastern North Carolina to Pickens, when he met a local music minister who played and built the

U P S TAT E B E AT

INSTRUMENT CRAFTSMANSHIP Tom Jones (not that one) and his dulcimers instruments. Not being a musician, Jones didn’t fall in love with the sound of the dulcimer; he fell in love with the way it looked.

The instrument is typically in an hourglass shape with a tuning head at the top similar to the violin, but it’s closer to the size of an acoustic guitar.

“I think it was the uniqueness of it,” Jones says. “I’d never seen one before. It had a character of its own.”

The music minister told Jones the instru-

ment was a relatively easy one to build if you had woodworking experience, and Jones had that. So Jones headed off to the Greenville County Library and found a book on how to make an Appalachian dulcimer. Then he came across an old door, and it was just what he needed.

“I took the skin off the door and then took some of the harder wood to make the fretboard and the tuner and so forth,” Jones says.

Jones can’t remember exactly how long it took him to build his first dulcimer, just that it took a long time. As he became more familiar with the instrument, he managed to whittle his time down to about 20 hours of labor. He reckons he’s made 40 or so over the decades, giving them to family members and selling a few, as well. And he eventually learned how to play one, taking them all around to show people what was once called a forgotten instrument.

“As time went on, I got more familiar with playing it,” he says, “and I got to do it in church groups, with youth groups in schools, and in programs with it here at Rolling Green.”

As Mr. Jones took me around his home, showing me 50 years of craftsmanship, sweat, and music, he let me in on some tricks of the trade.

“The secret is that you can make it any shape you want,” he says with a wink, “as long as the fretboard and tuners are standard.”

He also mentions that he’s got some big plans for his dulcimers, and for some of the people at Rolling Green.

“I’m talking to the activities director to use it with the memory care patients who have dementia,” he says. “It’s such a simple instrument, it’s easy to get other people involved with it.”

And then he sat down and played me a brief tune, looking down and smiling at what he built with his own two hands.

The Greenville Symphony Orchestra’s hugely successful “Motown” concert sent a clear message: Greenville audiences love the Pops series. “‘Motown’ was absolutely electric,” said Julie Fish, the orchestra’s executive director. “People were so excited and engaged, dancing in the aisles.”

The performance, with 1,500 fans at the Peace Center, was the best attended of more than a dozen Greenville Symphony concerts, both classical and Pops, this season.

“People found me at intermission to tell me how much they were enjoying it,” Fish said.

The Greenville Symphony’s Pops series has been around only two years, but its popularity means that it will become a fixture.

“It is sustainable and has momentum,” Fish said.

The orchestra recently provided the Greenville Journal with an exclusive preview of its third season of Pops concerts: • “John Williams’ Greatest Hits.” The popular film composer’s music will be spotlighted in an October 24 program, with music selections from “Star Wars,” “Jurassic Park,” “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” “E.T.,” “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” and other movies. Guest conductor Thiago Tiberio will be on the podium.

• “Revolution: The Beatles Symphonic Experience.” The authorized symphonic tribute to the Fab Four on March 26, 2020 will feature top vocalists with full accompaniment by the Greenville Symphony.

“We believe we have two massive home runs,” Fish said.

Plus, the orchestra’s popular “Holiday at Peace” concerts will be included in the Pops package as well – for a total of three shows in the Pops series next season. “Holiday at Peace” will feature the critically-acclaimed vocal duo Diane Penning and Paul Langford.

The orchestra’s recent “Motown” concert, with guest conductor William Waldrop on the podium, took the packed house on a tour of big hits of the past, such as “Dancing in the Street,” Stevie Wonder’s “Superstition,” James Brown’s “I Feel Good,” Lionel Ritchie’s “All Night Long” and a dozen other classics. Three featured vocalists brought down the house: Shayna Steele, Chester Gregory and Michael Lynche.

DRESS UP AS DARTH VADER OR HARRY POTTER

The Pops series appeals to a younger and more diverse crowd – an audience primed

for a fun night out.

The John Williams’ concert will feature a costume contest, something the Pops audience exuberantly embraced this past October when the Greenville Symphony accompanied a screening of “Ghostbusters” at the Peace Center.

“One of the things folks told us is that they loved the costume contest,” Fish said.

“They thought it was so cool to be able to go to the symphony in a costume.”

“Revolution: The Beatles Symphonic Experience” also will offer special features – animation, video, rare photos of the Beatles – not typical of a classical performance.

The Greenville Symphony, entering its 73rd season, is an orchestra with everbroadening appeal, Fish said, offering a large Masterworks series, chamber series, small ensemble series (“Spotlight”) and Pops.

“We’ve got the whole package,” Fish said.

“We’re representing the whole array of what a symphony orchestra is. One of the things Pops has done is showcase the versatility of the orchestra.”

Ironically, the orchestra didn’t have a Pops series for its first 70 years. Much of the credit for the Pops concerts goes to longtime symphony board member Jerry Dempsey, who passed away in early March.

“He was very actively engaged with the symphony and said, ‘Julie, I’ve waited 17 years for the Greenville Symphony to have a Pops series,’” Fish said.

And two years ago, the Pops series became a reality.

AN ORCHESTRA FOR EVERYONE The series notably has brought new fans to the symphony: 70 percent of ticket-buyers for the “Ghostbusters” concert were first-time attendees at the Greenville Symphony, Fish said.

The orchestra’s recent “Motown” performance, however, brought out both new patrons and longtime subscribers to the orchestra’s classical series.

“It brings home the message that the symphony is for everyone,” Fish said.

RESTAURANT COLLAB

ALEX GEORGE owner of GB&D

GB&D launches collaboration with Resident Dogs and other ventures

n story by ARIEL TURNER | photos by WILL CROOKS

If you catch a glimpse of Alex George these days at his popular Village of West Greenville restaurant Golden Brown & Delicious, he likely won’t remain in the same place for long.

You’ll see him at the pass between the kitchen and front counter, or possibly further back taking inventory, or maybe sitting at a table with his laptop planning upcoming menus for his food truck at Hampton Station or Carol’s Ice Cream Shop across the street.

That list of creative ventures and resulting responsibilities is growing: the bar he’s been planning for the adjacent former Village Grind space will open early May, the food truck has launched a new incubator-type partnership with local hotdog favorite Resident Dogs, and a collaboration with Birds Fly South Ale Project long in the works is taking off.

Truth be told, this isn’t all George is working on, but he’s not quite ready to disclose the rest.

BAR MARS

VietNOM DOG 36

A P R I L 12 / / G R E E N V I L L E J O U R N A L . C O M

The name for the bar next to GB&D that will have its own identity separate from the restaurant comes from George’s 7-year-old American pit bull rescue.

“Mars is a comfort in my life, and I’d like this bar to be comfortable,” he says.

Mars’ face can already be seen painted along with a dozen other pups on the GB&D restroom wall, but now a geometric version will cover the front of the custom bar.

The cozy, 20-seat space will have its own food menu – a rotation of theme nights such as Chinese bar snacks, TV dinners, and grown up mac ‘n’ cheese George describes as “better junk food, salty and easy to eat with fruit-forward, fun cocktails.”

Those cocktails will be made with house made tinctures and bitters, as much seasonal fruit as possible, and won’t be a struggle to drink, he says.

The menu will be a mixture of classic and not-so-classic cocktails.

Beginning April 16, GB&D will start serving batched cocktails in the restaurant to tease the bar’s early May opening.

RESIDENT DOGS

The one day GB&D is closed – Monday – you’ll find George at The Community Tap because Resident Dogs has the Monday night dinner slot.

“There’s no better pairing than hot dogs and beer,” he says.

With that as the motivation, George offered the food cart’s owner, Meredith Bost, a three-month residency at the GB&D food truck parked behind Birds Fly South at Hampton Station.

Combining Bost’s creative toppings with Birds Fly South beer-infused hot dogs made

by GB&D butcher James Bryant and house-baked buns using spent grains from the brewery, it’s an ultimate collaboration between the three entities.

George says he hopes this type of short-term incubator will help get locally-grown concepts off the ground, with a new concept coming in every three months.

“It’s really important to me for people in Greenville to make restaurants,” he says.

The food truck will offer both GB&D’s and Resident Dogs’s menus Wednesday through Sunday.

Birds Fly South co-owner Shawn Johnson dreamed up the idea of Common Feathers as a name for like-minded businesses who could benefit from each other, share beers together, and continually be involved.

This latest collaboration with GB&D and Residents Dogs has launched that into high gear. The sky’s the limit in terms of what can be done with beer and food – fermentation, reusing barrels to age sauces, infusing hot sauces with beer, and the list goes on.

“We’re both committed to the idea that beer can be a part of GB&D,” Johnson says.

A May 1 beer dinner held in the back of Birds Fly South with a sausage and hot dogcentric menu will serve as a major showcase of the possibilities. Limited tickets for the dinner will be available through Birds Fly South.

“We never stop exploring and never stop pushing,” Johnson says.
