Public Education Partners launches expanded advocacy role with EDTalk focused on classroom challenges
n story by REBECCA HOWERTON | photos PROVIDED
For more than 30 years, Public Education Partners has worked to advance public education in Greenville County through programs that support teachers and strengthen schools.
While continuing that front-line engagement, the nonprofi t is deepening its focus on education-policy development and advocacy. To celebrate this expanded role and provide a forum for educators’ voices to be heard, PEP will present a series of quarterly EDTalks. The fi rst, from 6:30–8 p.m. Monday, March 16 in the Greenville Technical College auditorium, will address challenges facing today’s classrooms.
The program’s panel of experts will include Demond Criss, fourth-grade teacher at A.J. Whittenberg Elementary School; Katherine King, eighth-grade teacher at Sevier Middle School; Michael Delaney, prin

cipal of Carolina High School; Scott Turner, deputy superintendent of Greenville County Schools; and T.J. Rumler, a social worker for Greenville County Schools who works closely with the OnTrack Greenville Middle Grades Success Initiative. Travis Wharton, economic mobility manager for United Way of Greenville County, will serve as moderator.
Catherine Schumacher, who became PEP’s president and CEO in November 2019 after serving on its board for three years, said the event marks an exciting time for the nonprofi t.
“Public Education Partners works directly with schools, teachers, and the district on tangible programs and projects like #Teach864, our campaign to recognize and celebrate teachers, and the classroom grants we’ve funded since our founding in 1985,” Schumacher said. “Now we’re also ramping up our leadership in education advocacy, building partnerships, and growing our capacity to effect systems-level change.” The discussion will cover the teachershortage crisis and challenges that contribute to teachers leaving the profession. Other topics include the impact of trauma on student learning, socialemotional learning and discipline, and teacher support such as wellness and professional development. The EDTalk is an opportunity for the public to hear directly from educators.
“We’re building an army of public education advocates — parents, grandparents, teachers and business leaders,” Schumacher said. “We’re trying to elevate the teaching profession and highlight the challenges students and teachers face every day.”
Faced with confl icting views about education reform, advocates are looking for accurate information, Schumacher said. To fi ll that need, PEP released its recommendations for 22 policy priorities in January. The priorities can be found at publicedpartnersgc.org. “Among those priorities we are really focused on our PEP Fast Five as a starting point to activate public education advocates and give them the information they need to raise their voices in support of education,” she said. “When you hear toxic criticism of teachers and public schools, it isn’t grounded in the facts: The vast majority of our children depend on public education and are well served by it. For those who aren’t, it’s up to us to promote change.”
PEP has also partnered with Acuitas Economics to create InformEdsc.org, an award-winning website providing education data to be used by citizens and policy makers to make informed decisions.
The Community Foundation of Greenville has long recognized the importance of PEP’s work and supported it through capacity-building grants and funding from the Margaret Linder Southern Endowment and Walter Johnson Trust.
“More than any other organization, Public Education Partners positively impacts student achievement by supporting professional development for teachers and principals,” said Bob Morris, CFG president. “Over the last 15 years, the Community Foundation has made $100,000 in grants to this work while also administering its endowment to help underwrite PEP’s long-term success.”
Schumacher, who attended and sends her children to South Carolina public schools, said this work is both a personal and professional passion for her. “Public education matters to everyone; it’s the critical foundation of our civic life,” she said. “Schools are the heart of our community, building connections between people — students, teachers and families — of different backgrounds and experiences. Greenville County Schools is doing a remarkable job supporting student success and our ambitious goal is to build on that so that we continue to be a model for the state and the nation.”

GJ: WHAT WAS THE INSPIRATION BEHIND “WATER BLESSING?” DY: Almost 20 years ago (about the time I created the “Shoeless Joe” sculpture), Mayor Knox White told me he wanted a Cherokee sculpture for Greenville. I talked with Gene Norris (of the Piedmont American Indian Association — Lower Eastern Cherokee Nation) for ideas, and he suggested a Cherokee holding a bowl of water to thank the Creator for the water that gives life. About 14 years later, Greenville Water wanted a sculpture with a water feature, and the mayor suggested the Cherokee might be appropriate. n photo by IRINA RICE
GJ: HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO CREATE? DY: The sculpture took about one year to create.
GJ: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PART OF THE PROJECT AND WHY? DY: I am very pleased with the scale of the sculpture. Because the fi gure is standing in an open space, I knew it would have to be larger than life. I think the water pouring from the bowl adds another interesting dimension to the work. The landscape design and the water feature present the sculpture in one of the best settings possible.

County seeking $1 million to improve 5 parks COMMUNITY
n story by ANNA LEE | photo provided by GREENVILLE COUNTY
Five Greenville County parks could be getting a $1 million face-lift.
Bob Mihalic, governmental affairs coordinator, said the county has applied for $500,000 in grants from the Land and Water Conservation Fund to renovate restrooms, picnic shelters, parking lots and other facilities at the following parks: Westside Park in Berea, Lakeside Park in Piedmont, Northside Park near Paris Mountain, Pleasant Ridge Park in Marietta and Southside Park in Simpsonville.
The county has committed an additional $500,000 to match grant funding for a total of $1 million, Mihalic said.
The bulk of the funding will go toward improving the picnic shelters and restrooms to meet federal disability access requirements, Mihalic said.
Several of the parks could also get new grilling areas and updated lighting.
“Everything that’s being done was on our to-do list,” Mihalic said.
The Land and Water Conservation Fund is a federal program that provides matching grants for the acquisition or development of outdoor recreation areas and facilities. The grant requires a 50% match from state or local governments.
There’s a big, beautiful expansion about to take shape. With more independent living options, more dining, more lounges, more activity rooms, and more ways to enjoy life than ever before. New residences. New restaurants. Same friendly community.

HEALTH & WELLNESS LIVE LONGER: It’s YOUR choice
n story by KEVIN DEHLINGER, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, SPORTSCLUB FITNESS & WELLNESS
When the ball dropped on New Year’s Eve and the new year began, it brought in the hope for positive changes and fresh starts. For many people, this included the resolution to become healthier, lose weight, feel better and look better. Unfortunately, the majority of these good intentions fail within the first six weeks of the year as life becomes too busy and motivation fades.
What if you considered what actually happens inside your body if you exercised regularly as compared to not exercising? Steven Blair, a physician from the University of South Carolina, studied more than 50,000 people and found an increase in physical fitness will reduce the risk of premature death. Would this fact and the others below make you more likely to follow through with your resolution?
BENEFITS INCLUDE: WHAT DO ALL THESE STATISTICS AND BENEFITS MEAN TO YOU? It means you and your family are significantly more likely to live longer and healthier lives with some sort of exercise incorporated into your weekly routine. Your kids will grow up with fewer health ailments and reduced obesity. You will live to see children and grandchildren graduate. You will enjoy a more active retirement. Health care costs and dependency on prescription medications will be reduced.
With this in mind, Sportsclub Fitness & Wellness has designed a high-impact, low-pressure program to help people make the transition to healthier lifestyles. Sportsclub’s Physician Referred Exercise Program (p.r.e.p.) is designed to take down all the barriers to exercise and welcome participants in a comforting and unintimidating environment. • Reduced risk of chronic diseases. • Increased brain health. • Increased memory functions. • Reduced blood glucose levels. • A higher level of sleep quality. • Reduction in depression. • Reduced anxiety. • Reduced risk for heart disease. • Lower blood pressure. • Improved cholesterol levels.
p.r.e.p. is for anyone who has been cleared by a physician for physical exercise.
WHO NEEDS p.r.e.p.? Anyone who needs to address any of the following: borderline diabetes or controlling diabetes, blood pressure issues, cholesterol issues, post physical therapy/rehab fitness, preparing for joint replacement surgery, pre- or postnatal fitness, improving sports performance, or simply getting off the couch and getting active.
Sportsclub’s p.r.e.p. medical fitness professionals will work with you to design a workout that addresses specific goals you and your physician would like you to accomplish. Then our p.r.e.p. nationally certified trainers will meet with participants twice per week in small groups for the next 60 days to guide you toward meeting these goals. The best part: p.r.e.p. is just $60 for 60 days, and membership is not required. In fact, for the entire 60 days you are in p.r.e.p. you will have access to the amenities at all three Sportsclub locations.

New library card designs available at Greenville County libraries COMMUNITY
n story & photo by ALEX COOPER
A new selection of library cards is available to Greenville County Library patrons. The cards, featuring several new characters and artwork, have been available since Feb. 18. They can be picked up at any Greenville County library, including at the bookmobile. The cards were designed by the library system’s graphic design staff, according to Greenville County Library System’s community engagement manager, Jimmy Wooten.
The cards feature several new choices including a unicorn in space, Caesar’s Head State Park, and a “discover your library” theme that highlights the various ways that patrons can use the library. Those include, Wooten said, “listening to music and audiobooks, streaming movies and TV shows, getting assistance with homework and genealogy research or booking a librarian for one-on-one assistance to learn a variety of new skills.”
Due to its popularity, the design featuring a shark has returned.
The designs are changed up to keep up demand, Wooten explained. That’s about
once a year. Besides the four highlighted cards, the library also has a few previously released designs that patrons can select.
For those who are looking to update their card’s design, it’s just a $1 for a new one. If you’ve lost the card, then it’s the same price to get a new one.
“Library cardholders have enjoyed being able to choose from a selection of cards that appeal to their interests,” Wooten says. “Past designs have included local landmarks, sports, hobbies, kid themes, and trending graphics.”
“The most popular library card design featured a photograph of Table Rock (State Park).”

Change headline to Proposed downtown events center could open as early as 2023
n story by EVAN PETER SMITH
The developers behind the proposed events center in downtown Greenville met with community leaders in early March to offer an update on the project.
In short, things are still on track. Construction is expected to begin in the latter part of 2021 or early 2022, according to Phil Hughes and Bo Aughtry, the developers spearheading the project. From there, they expect another two years for the entire space to be completed.
“We’re to the point that to really advance on the project, we need to delve back deeply into the design,” Aughtry said. “Funding is already in process.”
The proposed events center would be located on 6.7 acres of property along the Reedy River between River and Academy streets across from the Embassy Suites hotel, what Hughes calls “the last piece of undeveloped property on the river in downtown.”
The mixed-use development will contain 25,000 square feet of ballroom space, large enough to comfortably seat about 1,800 individuals, with multiple breakout rooms. A key facet of the project will be its two museRome Office

um spaces, with 60,000 square feet allocated for the Museum & Gallery of Bob Jones University and another 30,000 square feet for a satellite location of the Greenville County Museum of Art.
Unlike a “conference center,” the “events center” will be designed to adapt to the unique and changing needs of any particular client or group.
The overall project comes with a price tag of about $100 million in public funds, including the value of the 6.7 acres of land donated by Hughes and Aughtry. Hughes said the project is expected to spur about $300 million in private investment.

County’s 'anti-gay' resolution remains on the books n story by EVAN PETER SMITH
It seemed all but decided. A motion specifi cally designed to erase Greenville County’s 1996 'anti-gay' resolution from the books looked set to pass smoothly though County Council at its regular meeting on the evening of Tuesday, March 3.
The same motion – which would have retroactively installed a four-year sunset clause on all County Council resolutions, thereby eliminating the 1996 resolution – had already passed easily in an earlier committee meeting on Tuesday, with 8 votes against 3. But at the last minute, Councilmen Bob Taylor and Joe Dill switched their votes from yes to no, following a stream of residents who spoke in support of the 1996 resolution during the public hearing portion of the meeting. Citing scripture and “traditional family values,” the dissenters were a new presence in a series of proceedings previously dominated by LGBT-rights activists and speakers.
The last-minute changes of heart from Taylor and Dill were signifi cant, because although the resolution still received a majority of votes — 6 in favor and 5 opposed, with 1 absent— it failed to reach the 7-vote threshold required for passage per council rules.
VOTED YES: Lynn Ballard, Rick Roberts, Liz Seman, Dan Tripp, Butch Kirven, Xanthene Norris VOTED NO: Bob Taylor, Joe Dill, Sid Cates, Mike Barnes, Willis Meadows ABSENT: Ennis Fant
LOOMING BUSINESS WORRIES
Some members of the local LGBT community addressed the economic impact on Greenville that could ensue if council continues to fail to specifi cally condemn the 1996 resolution.
For a cautionary tale, Greenville need only look to North Carolina.
A bill that was signed into law in March 2016 excluded LGBT individuals from statewide anti-discriminatory protections, while requiring transgender people to use restrooms corresponding to the sex listed on their birth certifi cates.
While supported broadly by North Carolina’s conservative and evangelical community, the passage of the bill saw near-instant pushback from major businesses. The losses ranged from a canceled PayPal facility that would have added an estimated $2.26 bil

lion to the state’s economy to canceled shows from musicians like Ringo Starr.
Even after House Bill 2 was repealed, North Carolina is expected to take a $3.76 billion hit in lost business over a dozen years as a result of the bill's passage, according to an Associated Press analysis.
WHAT’S NEXT
Councilman Joe Dill put forth a resolution to put the matter of the 1996 resolution as a referendum on the ballot of the general election on Nov. 3, 2020.
The referendum would ask voters whether they believe and support the community values as expressed in the 1996 Greenville County Council resolution.
Dill’s referendum, has been referred to the Council’s Committee of the Whole and will be scheduled on the
We still have PLENTY of fi ght left. See you all in two weeks. Same time. Same place. Same old fi ght for equality and inclusion.” - Upstate Pride SC
agenda at a “future appropriate time,” according to Kirven.
Meanwhile, a special council meeting was scheduled for Wednesday, March 11, to address the 1996 resolution. The Greenville Journal went to print prior to Wednesday’s meeting, but head over to GreenvilleJournal.com for the latest on this developing story.

COMMUNITY Greenville County ranks among SmartAsset’s Healthiest Places in South Carolina
n story by JEANNIE PUTNAM
Greenville County has been named the third healthiest county on SmartAsset’s Top 10 Healthiest Places in South Carolina. Greenville has appeared on the list since the study’s inception in 2017.
“Our study aims to fi nd the healthiest places in the country,” said SmartAsset spokesman Steve Sabato. “An individual’s health is key to assessing life expectancy, which is the ultimate determinant of the price one pays for life insurance. To fi nd America’s healthiest places we considered three factors: length of life, health behaviors and health care access.”
In order to determine the rankings, SmartAsset fi rst looked at premature death, which is potential life lost before age 75 per 100,000 residents in each county. Places with the lowest rates of premature death had the highest length of life index values.
Then the study explored health behaviors including the percentage of adults who are current smokers, would be classifi ed as obese and would be considered binge or heavy drinkers. Those conducting the study indexed each behavior on a scale of zero to 100 and took the weighted average, then indexed the fi nal number to create the index value, Sababo said.
In addition, the study explored access to health care and its impact on health outcomes by looking at the number of primary care physicians per 100,000 residents and the percentage of the population under 65 without health insurance. Based on the data, these two areas were indexed on a scale of zero to 100, and the weighted average led to the fi nal number for the healthcare section.
Once all three indexes were created, SmartAsset determined the top 10 counties by weighing 50% of the results on the length of life, 30% health behaviors and 20% on access to health care.
Joining Greenville County on the list are Beaufort, Charleston, Richland, Dorchester, York, Lexington, Saluda, Lancaster and Oconee counties.

Xanthene Norris pedestrian bridge opens to the public n story & photo by EVAN PETER SMITH
The Xanthene Norris pedestrian bridge on Hampton Avenue offi cially opened to the public on Friday, March 6, ending a story that began more than a quarter century ago.
Xanthene Norris herself, the longtime County Councilwoman and local leader, led a crowd of politicians, community members and reporters across the bridge to mark the event.
“We are so happy to say now that we don’t have to run across the tracks,” Norris said to the crowd. “Bless you all. Bless you.” The bridge is more than just a bridge; it’s an emblem of hope in a community that has been cleaved in two since a bridge that spanned the Norfolk Southern rail yard in the Southernside neighborhood was demolished in 2012.
That bridge, which was offi cially closed in 1994, had still been used by pedestrians to cross on foot.
Since its demolition, however, pedestrians have had to risk crossing the rail line on foot. One woman, Ernestine Dixon, died while passing the rail yard in 2018.
Kids in the neighborhood continued
to pass it everyday, to the point that it became just a part of life.
Now that has changed with the new pedestrian bridge, a nearly $1.5 million project that spans 150 feet, named in honor of Norris, who never stopped pushing for the bridge’s completion.
“We had to fi ght,” she said, her voice rising above the sound of a train that was, at that very moment, roaring beneath the bridge. “We had to fi ght.”

Metropolitan Arts Council establishes teaching artist fellowship n story by JEANNIE PUTNAM
The Metropolitan Arts Council recently announced the establishment of a fulltime teaching artist fellow position. The new position will work with teachers at high-poverty Greenville County schools to integrate arts into the curriculum at no cost to the schools.
“This fellowship is a testament to the generous nature of philanthropic individuals who make Greenville a thriving arts hub of the Southeast,” said Metropolitan Arts Council executive director Alan Ethridge. “This fellowship will help highlight and expand SmartArts, a program that has to date served students across 73 schools who have benefi ted from this arts-focused curriculum which helps students become college and career ready for the 21st century.”
The position, called the Dr. Martha R. Westrope teaching artist fellow, is funded by a $25,000 donation from the Caughman family to the SmartArts Art Integration Program.
“We are thrilled the Caughman family is honoring Dr. Westrope in this meaningful way,” said Kimberly Gibbs, director of arts education at the Metropolitan Arts Council. “This fellowship will help create an arts-rich environment at high-poverty schools, which, according to new Gallup data, creates both hope and engagement in students, leading to higher academic performance and higher graduation rates.”
The position will be announced at the 2019 annual meeting of the Metropolitan Arts Council, including an arts award ceremony, at 5:30 p.m. March 16 in the Gunter Theater at the Peace Center.
SmartArts is a partnership between Greenville County Schools and the Metropolitan Arts Council that connects students, artists and teachers to deepen learning and self-awareness through integrating the arts into all areas of education. The program was founded in 2002 and now serves more than 11,000 students living at or below the poverty line in 34 schools per school year.

Furman University recently awarded sophomore Sam Ybarra fi rst place for his Spectrum Tiny Homes idea in its inaugural Paladin Pitch competition.
Ybarra received $10,000 to go toward his project, which would build and sell tiny houses designed for young adults living with autism.
“We plan to address the sensory needs that ordinary housing doesn’t, like lighting, sound and other overstimulating aspects,” Ybarra said. “We believe that Spectrum Tiny Homes will be a solution to this lack of independence, while simultaneously addressing the needs that our customers have.”
Ybarra was one of six fi nalists who had worked with the Furman Innovation and Entrepreneurship offi ce for four months to develop their pitches.
In addition to Ybarra, Lucas Bautista was awarded a $5,000 prize and placed second, while Trent Stubbs received a $2,500 prize and third place. The other fi nalists were Queen Trapp, Mercy Fisher and William Wagner, and Nicole Stephenson and Kyle Edens.
Paladin Pitch was started by the Furman Offi ce for Innovation and Entrepreneurship to allow the university to contribute to and engage with regional entrepreneurs and to allow Furman and the Upstate community to learn from each other.

GREAT LANDSCAPING MEANS MORE THAN JUST LUSH LAWNS REAL ESTATE
n story by JEANNIE PUTNAM
With spring coming and everything beginning to bloom, homeowners will soon be spending more time outdoors for recreation and to work on landscaping projects.
When looking to transform a yard, the first thing many homeowners work on is growing a lush, green lawn. Whether by planting sod, sowing grass seeds and main taining the fertilizer, or hiring a lawn-care company, a healthy lawn can add curb appeal to a property.
One landscaping tip is to avoid visually appealing plants like sunflowers because they can inhibit the growth of surrounding plants. However, plants like rose and hy drangea bushes can elevate curb appeal and still allow the homeowner to have a variety of blooms or greenery in the yard.
Ways to find inspiration for new landscaping • Look up landscaping ideas online. • Take pictures and visit a nursery to find plants to fit the property. • Hire a landscape architect or landscaping service.
In addition to adding visually appealing plants to a yard, the homeowner may want to consider adding tomatoes or blueberries to the garden. Plants like these add color to a property while providing homegrown food. The person working with fruits and vegetables may also want to consider adding raised garden beds to put the plants in. Having a raised gardening bed can put edible plants in a harder place for animals to reach while adding focal points to the yard.
To help create different areas to the landscaping, the homeowner may want to di vide the garden by using symmetrical lines of flowers, shrubs or succulents to create borders. Another method the homeowner may want to use is adding a stone edge or mulch flower bed border. If the yard has limited space, the gardener may want to cre ate a container garden with colorful pots and planters.
While working on the design of the yard, the homeowner may want to add contrast by mixing the plants with hardscapes by adding stone walkways or pebble beaches. In addition to creating new pathways, having a water feature like a fountain or manmade waterfall can help create an oasis. For increased tranquility in the yard, plant tall hedges or consider adding a fence.
Closer to the home, display planters near the front walkways and hang a greenery garland to wrap around the front porch. To avoid having eyesores in the landscaping, consider building a cover to hide the AC unit or building a planter to also hold the garden hose.
