clandrum@communityjournals.com Under a revised proposal, some A.J. Whittenberg Elementary students will receive priority status for an attendance slot when Greenville County’s new technology-centered middle school opens in 2014. The school district’s original proposal did not give Whittenberg students priority to attend the new middle school. However, parents and west Greenville residents argued that students at Whittenberg, the state’s first elementary school with an engineering-based curriculum, should be allowed to attend the Dr. Phinnize J. Fisher Middle School as a logical extension of their science and technologybased study. Under a revised attendance plan unveiled by Superintendent Burke Royster, rising sixth-graders from Whittenberg who live in the attendance zones of five overcrowded middle schools – Beck, Bryson, Hillcrest, Mauldin and Riverside – will get priority over students living in those attendance zones who attend other schools. The school is expected to have about 300 sixth-graders when it opens in August

2014. Seventh grade will be added in 2015 and eighth grade in 2016. Top priority will be given to students who live in the small assigned attendance zone near the school being built near the Clemson University International Center for Automotive Research. The zone’s borders are Interstate 85, Verdae Boulevard, Woodruff Road, Garlington Road, Miller Road and Mauldin Road. About 90 sixth-graders live in that zone, but district officials expect that number to rise. Another 190 students will come to Fisher from the five overcrowded middle schools. Half of the 60 remaining slots will go to Whittenberg students, while the others will go to students from anywhere in the district. Transportation will be provided only to those students who live in Fisher’s assigned attendance zone. The board will consider the plan at its Committee of the Whole meeting on Aug. 13. “It is important to understand that as the assigned attendance areas of Dr. Phinnize J. Fisher Middle School and/or the priority middle schools’ student populations increase, the availability for students to participate in choice from other areas of the school district will decrease so that continued relief can be provided to the five middle schools,” the plan said.

Fisher is a STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics) school. District officials said the school will “transform the typical teacher-centered classroom by encouraging a transdisciplinary curriculum that is driven by problem-solving, discovery, exploratory learning, and an experience that requires each student to actively engage in a situation in order to find its solution.” Royster said the school district now has an academic specialist for STEM education. For students who don’t get into Fisher, the district has a science and technology-focused magnet middle school in Hughes Academy. In addition, an engineering-focused program will be available to Sevier Middle sixth-graders in 2014-15. Seventh and eighth grade will be added to the program one year at a time. The program could be partially or fully replicated in other middle schools across the district, Royster said. Sevier and Hughes are among eight Greenville County middle schools that participate in the Gateway to Technology program that includes a project-based curriculum. The other schools are Beck, Bryson, Greer, Ralph Chandler, Riverside and Tanglewood.

Silent Tears GREG BECKNER / STAFF

Gov. Haley cites personal motivation for addressing child abuse statewide APRIL A. MORRIS | STAFF

amorris@communityjournals.com A needs assessment on addressing child sexual abuse in South Carolina funded by Bob and Lisa Castellani through the Silent Tears Initiative and the National Child Protection Training Center (NCPTC) has already caused collaboration among state agencies, healthcare and nonprofits, Gov. Nikki Haley said in Greenville on Monday. Haley visited Greenville Health System to talk about the report and what is being done locally to address its recommendations. Released in late May, the report recommends additional training for child protection professionals, developing relationships between child protection communities and faith communities, expanding prevention efforts and improving the juvenile sex offender registry, among others. The report does not focus on one agency, but on a systemic approach, said Haley. “This Silent Tears report goes after something that government desperately needs,” she said. “This allows us to get a statewide approach to deal with child abuse in South Carolina.” Haley told the assembled group that the issue is a personal one for her, as she was abused by a childcare provider when she was a child, coming home one day with bruises all over her. “When it happened to me, my parents didn’t know what to do. They didn’t know who to go to,” she said. The report will help develop even more resources so parents will know who to turn to, she said. As far as the recommended training, the Silent Tears report suggests two hours of real-time training and 10 hours of online training for child advocates, along with education for faith-based communities on how to deal with a child who has experienced abuse. Dr. Nancy Henderson of GHS said abuse is “far from a pediatrician’s problem” and the report outlines “what we have done well and where we need to go.” Beginning this semester, the USC School of Medicine Greenville will require first-year students to undergo training on how to spot and report abuse and learn about what services are available for victims’ support. Even if the student doesn’t specialize in pediatric care, they will still be able to spot abuse, she said.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley talks with Dr. William Schmidt, medical director of Children’s Hospital.

Training can also encompass teachers, social workers, Department of Social Services employees and law enforcement employees, said Henderson. The Silent Tears report called for formation of a bipartisan commission to address the recommendations, but the “players are already there” and responding, Haley said. Rep. Bruce Bannister said he and Sen. Mike Fair have worked on pre-filed legislation that will also target child abuse. One focus is removing the barriers for training, how to move cases faster through the system and the “hot button” issue of addressing the youth sex offender registry, realizing that many youth offenders are victims themselves, said Bannister. The result could be multiple pieces of legislation, he said. Every department and agency will be looking at their own areas in months to come to learn how to change their programs, said Henderson. In addition, each county will aim to have five programs that it can point to as preventing child abuse, added Haley.

SILENT TEARS recommendations

• Improve training on undergraduate and graduate levels • Improve field training for frontline professionals (40 hours base training and 10 hours ongoing training) • Improve collection of evidence • Resolve cases faster from crime scene to trial • Develop partnerships between faith communities and child protection communities • Improve mandated reporting system for child abuse • Expand prevention initiatives • Improve juvenile sex offender registry

OPINION VOICES FROM YOUR COMMUNITY, HEARD HERE

Vulnerable children need our care

FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

Creating chaos Gov. Nikki Haley’s irresponsible veto of Certificate of Need funding has done harm to the health care industry that legislators need to undo. South Carolina’s five Supreme Court justices must sometimes feel like the only grownups in the room, considering how often they are called on to save state government from itself. So it goes with the lawsuit filed following Gov. Nikki Haley’s reckless decision to veto $1.7 million required to run the state Certificate of Need program – and the S.C. House’s irresponsible decision to let her do it, triggering an avalanche of consequences that are still rolling on. In South Carolina, health care providers cannot open new facilities, expand services or make big equipment purchases without first winning a Certificate of Need permit from the state Department of Health and Environmental Control. As the name implies, the intent is to hold down costs by preventing unwarranted duplication. CON has done that. However, the process can also be buffeted by politics as much as the practicalities of genuine need. That is the reality behind Haley’s animus, dating back to those politically charged days when Haley the legislator worked as a foundation fundraiser for Lexington Medical Center while the hospital fought for a heart surgery unit. Lexington eventually overcame DHEC’s denials and got its surgery unit. But Haley’s dislike of CON runs deep. Unable to kill the program legislatively, she has vetoed its funding every year she’s been governor. Legislators overrode her in 2011 and 2012. This year, the House vote fell short – creating government-imposed chaos yet again. Haley’s veto did not eliminate CON. She killed funding for a program that issues certificates state law still requires. Yes, DHEC suspended that process for a year, but it’s questionable whether the agency has the authority to do so. DHEC Director Catherine Templeton obviously has her doubts: She sued two trade associations as a way to put the tangle before the state Supreme Court. Equally worrisome is her second promise that the agency won’t penalize non-permitted expansions “unless instructed otherwise by the General Assembly.” That “unless” has thrown 32 CON applications worth $86.4 million into limbo with good reason. What rational health care provider will invest millions in a multi-year project on those terms? The Legislature could re-impose CON in January, the state Hospital Association pointed out. “This is like driving down the highway and all the speed limit signs are down,” Dr. Bruce Snyder, president of the S.C. Medical Association, told The State newspaper. “We don’t know what we’re supposed to do.” Which is exactly what legislators should return to Columbia and tell them. House leaders issued a press release within days saying they didn’t mean to kill the law, only fund it differently. Well, that takes legislative action, folks. DHEC cannot move money around absent your instructions. Gov. Haley has recklessly thrown one of the biggest economic engines in our state into chaos with the Legislature’s consent. Leaving it to the Supreme Court to sort out is a dereliction of duty. It’s time for House and Senate leaders to call their colleagues back into session to give DHEC some plain direction. And if Haley wants to dismantle CON, she should propose the legislation next year and make her case in a debate everyone affected can join. That is how grownups behave.

Children are everybody’s future. That’s easy to say. But what does it mean? It’s easy to see if you look at your own child or grandchild, niece or nephew, and imagine them growing into thriving adults. But what about our community’s most vulnerable children, those who have been the unwitting victims of abuse, neglect or extreme poverty? According to the South Carolina Department of Social Services, more than 700 cases of child abuse and neglect of children under age five are processed each year in Greenville County, the highest number of any county in South Carolina. It was not your fault that these children have experienced things no child should have to experience, and as a result, do not know how to interact with their peers, may have never spoken more than a few syllables, or might even have forgotten how to play. So what have these children got to do with you, really? My answer is they have everything to do with you. Because these children live in your community. They are your neighbors; they will interact with your children and your grandchildren and your nieces and nephews. If someone does not intervene, and the earlier the better, their impact on the future will not be so good. These children are not ready for school. But go to school they must. And if they start out behind, they almost never catch up. They will be the children most likely to drop out, to fail to find employment, and to spend their entire lifetimes repeating the same unhealthy cycles they were taught in their most tender years, this compounding effect sending ripples of disorder through our community. The odds are not in their favor. Instead of developing into hard workers who pay their taxes, contribute to society and feel an enduring satisfaction with their lives, they might be the delinquent waiting in the doorway for his next victim.

less individual dependent on welfare. They might grow up to be the next generation of abusers. It does not have to be this way. Early intervention works. It works with the children, by carefully and patiently working through their issues with research-proven and evidence-based methodologies, with focused attention and tailored curriculum, day after day after day, making slow but consistent progress. And intervention works with the remaining caregivers, leading them through hours of instruction, working with them in their home environments, helping them become more resilient parents and giving them the tools, techniques and resources that eventually become the glue that bonds families together. I didn’t say it was easy. It might take a year or more in our program. But it does work. We have seen it time and time again in the 21 years A Child’s Haven has served this community. From 1992, when Eva Hunt gave 10 small children a daily place of refuge in a Sunday school room in St. Francis Episcopal church, up until today, when we serve 78 children and their families in five locations.

OPINION VOICES FROM YOUR COMMUNITY, HEARD HERE

My so-called crazy life What is life like when you have mental illness? Now, there’s a question. What is life like when you are teased as a teenager for being crazy? Is there anything possibly worse when you are a desperately confused 16-year-old girl who is scared she’s losing her mind? I’m not sure. Can you picture reaching levels of depression so deep you don’t have the energy to even cry? Can you imagine achieving a state of mania so high you don’t sleep for days and end up having hallucinations and seizures as a result? I started my struggle with my bipolar diagnosis 36 years ago – when I was 14 years old. So I can most definitely imagine these things, because I have experienced all of them. I always have so many questions, like: How do I think about a life that has been filled with dozens, maybe hundreds, of different medications, doctors, therapists, nurses, hospitalizations, shock treatments, meltdowns and breakdowns? What do I do with the unbearable grief I feel for never having a child? How do I, at the same time, reconcile my grief with the outright gratitude I have for never actually becoming someone’s crazy mom? Why do I sometimes behave in ways I truly cannot understand? Why do I sometimes have anxiety that is so paralyzing my own breathing feels like a threat to me? How do I even begin to explain the feeling of extreme worthlessness I have for myself? It is very difficult to describe such a feeling. It’s as if we should all get a new word for worthlessness – and for extreme. What is life like when you feel no one understands you for even one single second? What words should I use to describe the relentless sadness I have that never really seems to leave me? Isn’t it logical to think that suicide would eventually feel to me like a twisted, final, ironic act of profound self-love? How do I consider my own serious, but obviously failed, suicide attempt? What do I do with the knowledge that my suicide attempt landed me in jail, but left me with absolutely no memory of it? Can you appreciate the fact that most mental health problems, while sometimes manageable, are not preventable – and not curable? Haven’t we all finally realized that it’s possible to help prevent so many other chronic diseases, simply by eating healthy foods? Can you imagine my confusion over why most health insurance

IN MY OWN WORDS by TRACI BARR

companies pay the costs associated with those preventable diseases, but why many of them won’t cover one thin dime of the costs associated with mental health care? Do you know that one in four people has a diagnosable mental disorder and that mental illness is the No. 1 cause of disability in the world, resulting in trillions of dollars of lost worker productivity around the globe? Don’t you think that if businesses and other institutions showed leadership regarding the mental health concerns of their employees, many workplace tragedies would absolutely be avoided? Don’t you think that it would simply be stonecold good business for companies to start getting really real on the issue of the mental health of their employees and other stakeholders? I sure do. So, what is it like to have all these questions about life with mental illness? Well, it can just about drive a person … crazy. And, when you are bipolar like me, it can be quite beautiful, all at the same time. I feel we need to start talking more about the problem of mental illness in Greenville. One way to begin the conversation is to see “Next to Normal,” a play about mental illness, which opens July 11 at Centre Stage. Greenville Health System is partnering with the Greenville chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness to sponsor free panel discussions in conjunction with this Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical. See it. Start that conversation.

Traci Barr is a member of the board of directors of NAMI Greenville and is the healthy eating specialist at Whole Foods Market. She has lived with bipolar disease for 36 years and knows, for certain, that the way to overcome the stigma associated with mental illness is for us all to confront it. For more information on the play or the outreach events, go to ghs. org/healthevents or centrestage.org.

Tears and memories Friends and neighbors gather to mourn two Greenville families lost in tragic accident CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com They were having the time of their lives on a trip of a lifetime. A trip to Alaska – to see its beautiful landscape and, perhaps, a bear – had been on Melet and Kim Antonakos’ bucket list of places to see with their children, Olivia, Mills and Ana. Their longtime friends Chris and Stacey McManus and their children, Meghan and Connor, went, too. The 10-day trip came to an early and tragic end last Sunday when the singleengine air taxi that was to take them to Alaska Bear Mountain Lodge adjacent to Lake Clark National Park and Preserve crashed at Soldotna Municipal Airport, killing all nine and the pilot. Federal investigators were left to try to figure out what caused the plane to crash shortly after takeoff. Back home, a community was left reeling, trying to comprehend the loss of two entire families to their neighbors, schools, church and to Greenville.

Melet had a white, 15-passenger van for work. It became the car pool vehicle for Gower Estates, shuttling neighborhood children to school dances and swim meets at the Gower pool. At Halloween, Melet put a yellow light on its top and took the neighborhood children trick-or-treating. “Countless Gower children have ridden in that van,” Davis said. “Some of the kids even said the neighborhood needs to purchase it.” Attending Clemson football games was an Antonakos family pastime. Butterfield said he and his family were tailgating before a Clemson University football game when a white passenger van pulled up. Hazard lights blinking, Melet got out and joined the fun. “He wasn’t worried about getting towed,” Butterfield said. “Melet said, ‘It will be okay. They think I’m delivering things.’” Kim was active in the PTA, the consummate volunteer. Said Davis, “If you need something done, you asked Kim.” Olivia was a rising junior at J.L. Mann, ranked first in her class academically, a varsity basketball player and secretary of the student council. She wanted to be a doctor, perhaps a cardiac pediatrician. Darah Huffman, Mann’s basketball coach, said Olivia was the only player on her team who wasn’t playing in an AAU basketball tournament in Orlando when word of the crash spread. She would have been playing, too, had she not been in Alaska. “She was an unbelievable kid. I’ll remember that smile, the ‘yes, ma’am, no, ma’am,’ the bounce in her run,” Huffman said. Mills was president of the student body at Beck Academy, a top student and a talented basketball player. He would have been a freshman at Mann and had all the normal apprehension of a student entering high school. Ana was a top student, too, and would have started middle school next month. “She was the biggest sweetheart,” Clayton Underwood said. Mann Principal Charles Mayfield said Kim and Melet were the kind of parents every principal dreams of, their children the kind of kids you “loved to have come

home with you.” Sam Erwin, a bank president and board member at Christ Church Episcopal where both families attended, said the church and community are mourning the loss of the families, the contributions they made and “the unrealized potential” of the children to impact the community in the future. Kim taught her everything about being a mother, Clayton Underwood said. On Monday, Underwood texted her sister because her 8-month-old son had said his first words. She didn’t get a response but thought nothing of it. She got word later that day the family had been killed in the plane crash. “Looking back, I should have known something was wrong,” she said. “Kim would have been the first to respond.”

High school sweethearts “There are no words, no answers,” said Bob Cox, who was on the same sport shooting team as Chris McManus and whose son was on the Christ Church Episcopal School junior varsity football team with Connor. “All I know is this is a huge loss for our community.” Chris and Stacey McManus were high school sweethearts in Newberry. He was a lineman on the football team; she was in the band. Chris McManus was in the initial group of four University of South Carolina Medical School students who spent their third and fourth year of school at what is now known as the Greenville Health System. He trained in interventional radiology during his residency and fellowship at the Bowman Gray School of Medicine at Wake Forest. He came back to Greenville in 1999 when he became a partner at Greenville Radiology. “I consider him a true physician in every sense of the word,” said Dr. C. David Williams III, chair of GHS’ department of radiology. “He was very caring, compassionate, considerate, conscientious and always put patient care above his own self-interest. I think he was one of these individuals who sought to contribute more no matter what he was involved with.” FAMILIES continued on PAGE 10

McManus was on the executive committee in the department and an officer of the medical staff with GHS in addition to a former member of the credentialing committee. McManus was also involved in the American College of Radiology, including as past president of the state chapter. “Chris was one of those people who you were surprised to find out he was a doctor,” Cox said. “He was not arrogant. He was easygoing, humble and a great listener. He truly cared and he’d do anything for you that he could.”

Model family Chris McManus was an avid sports fan who manned the basketball concession stand at Christ Church Episcopal School with dexterity and a smile, said Dr. Leonard Kuppersmith, headmaster at Christ Church Episcopal School where Meghan was a rising senior and Connor a rising ninth-grader. Kuppersmith remembers watching him as he watched his daughter’s softball team lose a game at St. Joseph’s. “He was the ideal fan. He cheered the good plays and didn’t get uptight about the bad. I was impressed with his modesty and spirit of fair play,” Kuppersmith said.

A live video feed to Markley Chapel is planned to handle the expected overflow crowd. “I’m a better person for having known them,” said Kim Geddie, SAIL representative for the Gower swim team on which the Antonakos children swam. “And I feel sorry for those who didn’t know them.” Federal investigators are expected to release a preliminary report on the crash within 30 days. Their initial investigation indicates the plane got airborne and then crashed with its right wing down. Investigators will consider mechanical failure, pilot error, weight distribution on the plane and weather. The full report could take a year. Journal writer April A.

GHS to renovate Children’s Hospital lobby

Let Blue Ridge Security Safeguard Your Home or Business…

RENDERING BY MCMILLAN PAZDAN SMITH

Greenville Health System’s Children’s Hospital lobby area at the Memorial Medical Campus will get a makeover, offering more kid-friendly activities and interactive features for the more than 180,000 children treated each year. The design, unveiled this week, was created by McMillan Pazdan Smith and funded by a $300,000 donation from Carolinas Credit Union Foundation. The 1,900-square-foot space will retain the large fish tank and will gain a submarine wall with interactive games, including a dress-up game that uses a mirror window to let children see themselves digitally dressed. Approximately 200 painted metal fish will hang from the ceiling. The renovation is due to be completed by October.

Furman offers series on understanding healthcare CYNTHIA PARTRIDGE | CONTRIBUTOR

The upcoming changes in healthcare as the result of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the full implementation of the reform can be complicated. This summer, Furman University, along with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute and the Riley Institute at Furman, is hosting its third annual summer series focusing on healthcare: Straight Talk – Healthcare Reform in South Carolina. Offered on Wednesday nights from July 17 through Aug. 7, the series will contain factual, pragmatic information about the United States’ current system of healthcare delivery, the principles underlying healthcare reform and the government’s role in providing access to care, university officials say. The series will also address the best way to increase access to care, highlight initiatives underway to control healthcare costs and explain the changes that will occur with the next stage of implementation of the Affordable Care Act in South Carolina in 2014, according to the Furman website. The four sessions will be held from 6:308:30 p.m. at the Younts Conference Center on July 17, July 24, July 31 and Aug. 7. The first session – “Healthcare in America: Best in the World?” – will examine how healthcare is currently delivered in the United States and what issues the Affordable Care Act (ACA) seeks to address.

The session will also look at the ethical and economic reasons the government should or should not be involved. As South Carolina is one of the states that has rejected federal Medicaid expansion funding, the July 24 session will address “Two Opposing Visions for Improving Healthcare in S.C.” The event will feature a discussion on whether the decision is right or wrong for the state. The third session, “Rationing Healthcare Rationally,” on July 31 will examine the choices involved in deciding how to spend limited healthcare dollars. The discussion will center on ways to improve health and lower costs along with end-oflife care. The Aug. 7 session, “Beyond Debate to Implementation: What the ACA Will Mean for S.C. in 2014,” will focus on what the Affordable Care Act will look like in South Carolina and offer suggestions on how to prepare and respond.

Leading Greenville lawyer dies SHERRY JACKSON | STAFF

sjackson@communityjournals.com Acclaimed trial lawyer G. Dewey Oxner Jr. died Sunday at age 79 from Parkinson’s disease. Oxner, who was a native Greenvillian and nationally recognized lawyer, was known for defending medical malpractice and products liability cases. He was also cochairman of the S.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice Commission on Professionalism, a permanent member of the Fourth Circuit Judicial Conference and former president of the South Carolina Bar. Oxner was known for his professionalism and knowledge in the law community. He was “someone I respected greatly and got to know well through the years, especially as we worked together as co-chairs on the Commission on Professionalism,” said state Supreme Court Justice John Kittredge of Greenville. “He was a leader and we all looked to him to lead us, and he did that very admirably.” Bob Wells, executive director of the South Carolina Bar, described Oxner as “a joyful person who was incredibly bright.” Oxner received his law degree from the

University of South Carolina School of Law in 1959 and began practicing in Greenville at Haynsworth, Perry, Bryant, Marion and Johnstone, which is now known as HaynOxner sworth Sinkler Boyd. He spent more than 50 years at the firm and was a former managing partner and shareholder emeritus. Oxner received numerous awards throughout his career, including the highest honor that can be bestowed by the Bar Association, the Tommy Thomason Award. Other notable awards include the Compleat Lawyer Platinum Award from the USC School of Law Alumni Association, the Robert W. Hemphill Award from the South Carolina Defense Trial Attorneys Association and the Du-Rant Distinguished Public Service award. Kittredge said Oxner had “great integrity” as well as a great sense of humor. He recalls one of Oxner’s trial tactics was to slump over at the council table so his opponent would think he was asleep. Oppo-

nents would then try to impose improper evidence, thinking it was an opportunity, but the reality was Oxner was never asleep. He would stand up, Kittredge said, contesting and stating the exact principle of the law without any hesitation – and he was always right. “Dewey could see things that the rest of us couldn’t see,” Kittredge said. “He could look beyond the immediate issue and see the ramifications.” Oxner was also very involved in the community, serving as a volunteer for United Way, YMCA Camp Greenville, the Parkinson’s Disease Program of the Greenville Health System and the Peace Center. He was a past president of the Poinsett Club and the Cotillion Club. In 2001, Oxner lobbied on behalf of South Carolina’s indigent defense system when funding was cut. “Dewey’s influence was not limited to the Greenville community but all over the state,” Kittredge said. Funeral services were held earlier this week at Christ Church, where Oxner was an active member. He is survived by his wife, Louise; his brother Glenn; three children, Frances, George and Perry; and nine grandchildren.

Kidney stones. The mention of the phrase can elicit horror stories from those who have experienced the tiny, pain-inducing masses. The No. 1 cause of kidney stones is dehydration, said Dr. David Rice, a urologist with Palmetto Greenville Urology. Dehydration causes crystals to form in a person’s urine, which act as a “seed” around which more crystals form, eventually creating a kidney stone, Rice said. These stones cause severe pain if they grow too large to exit the body. In the Southeast, Southwest and Deep South, summer is when the most stones form, he said, for a particular reason Southerners may find distressing to learn. When dehydration strikes, Southerners don’t typically reach for water to quench their thirst. They reach for a frosty glass of that quintessential Southern favorite, sweet tea. And that’s a problem, Rice says, because among risk factors like heredity, researchers have also discovered a correlation between kidney stones and sweet tea. A compound present in tea called oxalate contributes to kidney stone formation, Rice said. Tea, especially the sunbrewed style, “really seeps the oxalate out of it,” he said. In the Southeast, when people go out to restaurants, sweet tea is often the beverage of choice, he said. “Who knows how many glasses (of tea) you are served in a restaurant. For a lot of people, that’s all they drink.” Tea isn’t the only bad guy here. Other Southern favorites like collard greens, turnip greens, okra and fried foods, along with beer and chocolate, can also contribute to the risk, Rice said. Calcium intake is another risk factor, along with diabetes, another prevalent condition in the Southeast, he said. Doctors in the region have become specialists in treating kidney stones because of the prevalence of the condition, he said. “We treat kidney stones so frequently, we could do it in our sleep.” Rice said it doesn’t take much for a kidney stone to form. “You could be playing tennis all weekend in the heat, get a little dehydrated and form a stone,” he said. On the other hand, winter is another

peak time for kidney stones because people become dehydrated since they are not exerting themselves and sweating, said Rice. “People form stones in the wintertime and spring comes around, people get more active and they knock them (stones) loose and we’ve got to treat them.” Treating kidney stones includes hydration, waiting for the stone to pass, outpatient surgery or lithotripsy, which uses shock waves to break up the stone and allow it to pass through the body. A stone that is 5 millimeter or smaller usually has an 80 percent chance of passing within 48 hours, said Rice. The pain associated with having kidney stones is often compared to childbirth, Rice said. Eating a balanced diet and staying hydrated are key to preventing kidney stones, he said. “It all goes back to everything in moderation.”

BY THE NUMBERS 1,000-2,000 – number

of shock waves needed to crush a kidney stone during lithotripsy, according to the National Kidney Foundation

13 percent – lifetime

incidence of kidney stones in men, 7 percent in women.

50 percent – likelihood of

recurrence within five years after a patient has their first kidney stone. The rate rises to 80 percent at 10 years.

firm believers F3 group focuses on fitness, faith and fellowship for Upstate men

Once or twice a week, a group of about 30 men gathers in the early morning gloom and greets each other from under baseball caps, often wearing black shirts. They’re the members of F3, a free fitness group that promises a workout for every skill level – along with fellowship and faith for all. Which explains the name: F3, for fitness, fellowship and faith. F3 was launched in Charlotte, N.C., and now has groups in 10 cities in eight states. The Greenville group has been meeting since February of this year for an outdoor workout led by their peers.

F3 SWAMP RABBIT Tuesday & Thursday Peace Center, 5:30-6:15 a.m. Saturday, Legacy Park, 7 a.m. f3nation.com/workouts/swamp-rabbit

FITNESS F3 meets in a park, at the Peace Center or some other location selected by their leader for the week, called the Q. The leader designs the exercise series for the day. The 30 participants don’t know what to expect until they arrive. Group member Gunnar Anderson calls this element of surprise “great, and little bit scary.” According to Clay Driggers, the exercise in the “outdoor playground” is one of the most appealing aspects of the workout. He said he has never been able to keep a gym membership, but the togetherness of the group keeps him coming back. “There’s something about being together. I want to see these guys again,” he said. The bond is there because the men have something in common: a desire to be physically fit, he said. F3 continued on PAGE 18

Ross Hughes is called “Iceman” because he was a Mauldin High School Maverick – a nod to the film “Top Gun.” Though the workout is designed to be challenging, it is inclusive for all fitness levels, Driggers said. If one participant finishes the workout first, the Q gives him something additional to do while the others finish up. Anderson said the “fast and fit” among the group serve as inspiration. “You don’t have to be first; you can just work to catch the guy in front of you.” Twitter is the main mode of communication among group members and after the workout, the Q posts a “BackBlast” detailing what the workout involved, who attended and any announcements. This is also how F3 members from other areas can drop into local workouts when they’re in town.

FAITH The faith component is as large as each member wants to make it, said Anderson. “Everybody lives by faith in some area of their life,” he said.

Anderson said when one member reported that he had just lost his job, the group rallied, offering support and potential job connections. Some members also get together for a happy hour after work. “It’s a fraternity meets LinkedIn,” said Driggers.

As part of their Diversity Leaders Initiative class project, the nine members of the Mobilizers team set out to tackle childhood obesity in a new way by making physical recreation more accessible to children of every socioeconomic status in Greenville. “Approximately 30 percent of children in South Carolina are overweight or obese, and we know that having a healthy lifestyle including adequate exercise is important,” the team said in a statement.

Young adults with autism have had the opportunity to practice social skills in an empathetic setting this summer thanks to Spectrum, a program offered by the Applied Theatre Center (ATC) of Greenville in partnership with the Christy R. Delseni Autism Program. Sponsored by the Barbara Stone Foundation, the main goal of Spectrum is to provide activities for special needs adults who age out of many state programs after the age of 21. On July 5, the group held a program at the Greenville Museum of Art where they learned about landscape painting and got to paint their own. Carolyn O’Connell, one of the members of the Barbara Stone Foundation, explained the dire need for programs like this: “Since state funding has been cut, many of these adults have nowhere to go after their schooling – their parents work,

they can’t, and many of them do not have help or anyone around.” Dale Savidge, ATC executive director and chairman of the Department of Theatre at North Greenville University, was one of the people behind this event, aided by high school drama director Britney

Teie and Moses Rickett, an actor and circus clown. Most people involved have experience with special needs adults, but their main goal is to provide the social interaction these autistic adults no longer have, O’Connell said. “ One of the most important things

inability to interact socially with others, but the preconceptions of their inability to interact are often over-generalized, Spectrum organizers say. In the right circumstances and with adequate support, participants can interact successfully. Parent Sandra Bandstra said she drives all the way from Sumter, S.C., so her son, Matthew, can participate because there aren’t any programs available for young special needs adults in their area. Matthew said that he liked these events because he has made friends and likes learning how to be more social. He said he is currently

working on a fan fiction story for “Star Wars.” Spectrum’s final event will be held on July 26 at 7:30 p.m. at the Kroc Center, where 15 members will perform various songs, scenes and skits that they have been learning for the past few weeks. “I want this program to grow in the future,” O’Connell said. “If every person or organization helped in any way, how could this program not grow and be successful?” For more information, visit crdautismprogram.org.

for a special needs person, especially autism, is regular social interaction.” She explained that autistic people tend to have a strong sensitivity to one sense over others, and over-stimulation can be difficult for them. Programs like Spectrum “are designed to help these people specifically, and put them in positions to interact with other people safely.” The autistic adults are defined by their

Small green steps Oakview Elementary School was recently selected as a 2013 Green Steps School of the Year. Green Steps Schools, an environmental education and action initiative, recognizes schools in South Carolina for taking sustainable steps to conserve, protect and restore their local environment. As a Green Steps School, Oakview students and staff have created school yard habitats including a butterfly garden, nature trail, and apple orchard. Other activities include composting breakfast and lunch waste, recycling classroom items such as cell phones and batteries, reusing water glasses instead of bringing plastic water bottles, and planting a tree rain garden to discover how drainage basins help the environment. Oakview is one of only 11 South Carolina schools to earn the certification.

On June 28, Dr. Boyd Parr, South Carolina State Veterinarian, announced the year’s first confirmed case of Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) in a horse in the state. A foal from Sumter County that died recently tested positive for the disease.

Parr urges horse owners to consult their veterinarians to ensure that vaccinations against both EEE and West Nile Virus (WNV) are up to date. Infected mosquitoes that feed on both birds and mammals can transmit the disease to horses and humans. For more information, visit scdhec.gov/environment/envhealth/pests/mosquitoes.htm.

Musical shows ups, downs of mental illness Pulitzer Prize-winning “Next to Normal” hits Centre Stage CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

clandrum@communityjournals.com Bipolar disorder – a mental illness that is marked with extreme shifts in mood, energy and activity levels – seems like an odd subject for a musical. But Centre Stage Artistic and Executive Director Glenda ManWaring said that format makes it easier for people to discuss the disease and other mental illnesses, illnesses that are still greatly misunderstood and stigmatized. “Theater is not just entertainment,” she said. “It brings important issues to the forefront.” “Next to Normal,” which runs Thursdays through Sundays until July 27 at Centre Stage, opened on Broadway in 2009, was nominated for 11 Tony Awards and won three. It also won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, becoming only the eighth musical in the awards’ nearly 100-year history and the first since “Rent” in 1996. “It’s a bridge,” ManWaring said, “a bridge for mental illness to be talked about and a bridge to understanding. ‘Next to Normal’ is a ‘feel everything’ musical.” “Next to Normal” is the story of a bipolar mother and the family that she both

loves and disrupts. It touches other hardto-talk-about issues such as suicide, drug abuse and ethics in modern psychiatry. It’s a story that has the audience laughing hysterically and crying – and that’s just in the first act. “By the end, you have gone through every emotion,” ManWaring said. “That’s why I call it a ‘feel everything’ musical because you do.” One in five people either is bipolar or knows somebody who is, ManWaring said. “It’s an issue many of us are dealing with.” Fletcher C. Mann Jr., program director for the National Alliance on Mental Illness Greenville, said bipolar disorder and other mental health disorders go largely untreated. One in every four adults has some type of mental health disorder, according to estimates from the National Institute of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Of those, less than one-third gets treatment. In children, about 10 percent have some sort of mental illness and only half of those receive treatment, Mann said. Bipolar disorder affects 2.6 percent of the country’s adult population each year, or 5.7 million people. It affects men and women equally. “It is very much undertreated,” said Mann, a former attorney and Greenville County Clerk of Court, who said he has been treated for bipolar disorder for the NORMAL continued on page 26

past 20 years. “And the need for services is growing.” That’s because South Carolina has cut funding for mental health services by $90 million since 2008, Mann said. “South Carolina has had one of the highest cuts in mental health services in the nation,” he said. “When you look at the resources we put into crime prevention and traffic safety and compare that to the money we put into mental illness treatment and suicide prevention, there’s a huge disparity.” Dr. Kenneth Rogers, chairman of the Greenville Health System’s department of psychiatry and behavioral medicine, said the stigma that surrounds mental illness partially stems from fear. “People are often afraid of things they don’t understand,” he said. “And the behavior of those with bipolar disorder is often chaotic and hard to understand. I’ve been treating bipolar disorder for 20 years and there are still things that strike me as difficult to believe at times.” Rogers said the medical field’s understanding of mental illness is growing each day and he thinks research is where cancer research was 20 years ago. “We treat it. We understand it,” he said. “There are a lot of things we understand about the genetics. What we’re not as far

with is the impact at the cellular level.” Mann said too many people still regard mental illness as a sign of weakness. “That thought really pervades throughout our society,” he said. “People still think of mental illness as some kind of lack of character, faith or strength. For some people, it’s punishment for someone’s sins. Old movies portray the mentally ill as demon-possessed. We’ve got a long way to go to overcome that lack of knowledge and understanding.” Rogers said the Upstate has a lack of mental health providers when compared to Charleston and Columbia. He said Greenville’s new medical school and a new residency program should help improve Upstate residents’ access to mental health treatment over the next five or six years. Centre Stage’s production of “Next to Normal” features a minimal set, something ManWaring said she did because she wants the focus to be on the characters of the musical. “I didn’t want anything to distract from the story or what the characters are going through,” said ManWaring, who also is directing the production. “‘Next to Normal’ is definitely a musical driven by the story, the characters and the issues created by mental illness.” It’s a story to which Mann can relate. Depression crept in slowly and built over

time, he said. There was a sleeplessness, an immobility that had been growing. Mann sought career counseling. Skills testing showed he should be an attorney, something he had been for a dozen years. Further testing still showed he should be an attorney, but that he had bipolar disorder type two – which has a milder form of mania – as well. The illness took a toll, affecting his family and his health. “Most of my family suspected it was more than just a ‘smile and you’ll feel better’ situation,” he said. Mann said he was compliant with his medical treatment but found himself still spiraling downward. That’s when he saw a

notice for a NAMI support group in the newspaper – he still remembers the date, the section and its location on the page. “It made all the difference in the world in my mental health,” he said. Mann took the training to become a support group facilitator and eventually was hired as the organization’s program director. Over the past six years, the number of support group meetings increased from 11 a year to 126. “This is a brain disorder I will have for the rest of my life, just as someone with cardiovascular disease, diabetes or high blood pressure,” Mann said. “There is no cure, no magic pill for this. It takes a holistic approach. Maintaining a good treatment plan is critical to managing the illness.”

Young musicians focus of new series CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF

Amy Goto

In her biography, cellist Amy Goto says she loves to watch classical ballets and learn about dinosaurs. That should be an indication of just how young some of the musicians in the Fountain Inn Center for Visual and Performing Arts’ new Young Artist Series are. A collaboration between the Center for Visual and Performing Arts, the South Carolina Arts Alliance, the South Carolina Arts Commission and private local contributors, the series’ two remaining concerts involve recent participants in the Piccolo Spoleto Rising Star program. Goto, a rising fourth-grader, will perform on July 17 at 7 p.m. Born in Columbia in 2004, she began playing the cello at the age of 3. Goto spent two years in the San Francisco Bay area with her family and took private lessons at the Crowden School of Music in Berkeley, Calif. The family moved back to Columbia in 2009 and Goto started private lessons with Mary Ann Watson, a principal emeritus at the South Carolina Philharmonic. She has also taken private lessons with Natalia Khoma, a College of Charleston professor who is an internationally renowned cellist. Goto played in the College of Charleston’s Cello Mania (college student recitals) and in the opening performance for the Piccolo Spoleto Rising Stars program. On July 27, Abigail Kent will perform at 7 p.m. Kent has studied Celtic harp for eight years and is a United States national Scottish Harp champion. She added the pedal harp to her repertoire of eight instru-

ments three years ago. Her musical accomplishments include conducting and composing. She has won two national composition awards and numerous awards on classical piano, cello and harp, including South Carolina AllState first prizes for piano solo and piano concerto competition. She was named cellist in the 2011 South Carolina All-State Honor Orchestra, was cello winner of the 2012 and 2013 Charleston Symphony Orchestra “Share the Stage Contest” and was principal harpist for the 2012 South Carolina All-State Honors Senior Orchestra. In addition, Kent was the winner of the 2012 Youth Orchestra of the Lowcountry Concerto Competition (pedal harp), a member of the 2011 and 2012 Brevard Festival Harp Ensemble, a touring member of the Advanced Group of the American Youth Harp Ensemble for their 2012 Summer European Tour, and a winner of the “Stars of Tomorrow” Contest for The 2012 Boston Harp Festival.

This summer, at least from July 25 through July 27, people will once again be shagging to beach music on Augusta, along with kicking up their heels to bluegrass, folk, country and rock music during the Augusta Road Business Association’s Summer on Augusta festival. The festival will include special events, kids’ activities, food and drink. One of the special events will feature another summertime Southern tradition – ’mater pie. Francine Bryson, contestant on CBS’ “American Baking Competition,” will judge a tomato pie contest on July 27 from 2 to 4 p.m. during the Backyard Bash in Augusta Commons.

Six local bands will play during the weekend. Shaggin’ on Augusta ended seven years ago during a time when downtown was growing rapidly and became the focus for many of Greenville’s music events and festivals. But in each year since, merchants talked about the possibility of bringing it back. A small-scale Summer on Augusta was held last year. Merchants realized it had the potential to replace Shaggin’ on Augusta, but they decided to include more genres of music besides beach music and include more locations on Augusta. Presenting sponsor of Summer on Augusta is Virginia Hayes of Prudential C. Dan Joyner. Supporting sponsors are Priority One Security and Muncaster Financial Services. The Augusta Road Business Association

plans to make Summer on Augusta an annual event. A tailgate happy hour will be held all three days from 3 to 6 p.m. at the corner of Augusta and Oregon Street. Thursday night will feature a block party at Capers Place from 5 to 8 p.m. with the West End String Band. On Friday, Grillin’ and Chillin’ will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. at Lewis Plaza with music from the Craigo Creek Boys. Music at McDaniel will be held that same night from 5 to 8 p.m. and feature 23 Strings. On Saturday, Sounds for Hounds will be held from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. at Augusta Village. Backyard Bash will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. and feature Alternate Take. Fun in the Sun will be held from 6:30 until 8:30 p.m. A shag lesson will begin at 6 p.m. A full schedule is available at onlyonaugusta.com.

A free kayak safety and rescue clinic will be held at 10 a.m. on July 20 at South Cove Park on Lake Keowee in Seneca with a $2 fee per car to enter the park. The class will involve a brief talk about safety equipment and how to choose a kayak with safety features, followed by in-water demonstrations of rescue techniques that paddlers can learn. Space is limited for in-water participation. For more information or to pre-register, contact Janie or Al Butcher at seakayakers2@yahoo.com.

And then learn to swing In honor of the Spirit of ’45, swing dancing at the Travelers Rest United Methodist Church will occur Aug. 10. Even if you don’t know how to swing dance, at 7:30 p.m., the Spirit of ’45 is offering dance classes while the actual swing dancing and entertainment begins at 8 p.m. There will also be a costume contest where participants compete for the best 1940s civilian or military costume, prizes will be awarded to the winners.

SOUND CHECK

WITH VINCENT HARRIS

Charter Amphitheater offers rocking show When it comes to critical acclaim and cuttingedge credentials, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better combination than the bands playing the Charter Amphitheatre in Simpsonville this Friday: The Black Keys and The Flaming Lips. Over the last decade, the Keys (guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney) have racked up five WHAT: The Black Keys and The Flaming Lips gold and three platinum sales awards WHERE: Charter Amphitheatre, Simpsonville with their heavy, stripped-down blues rock, somehow finding new directions WHEN: Friday, July 12, 7:30 p.m. and sounds to explore with just two TICKETS: $39.50, $54.50 instrumentalists. In addition to their INFO: 241-3800 or charteramphitheatre.com eight albums released since 2002, Auerbach and, to a lesser extent, Carney, have become in-demand producers and session players. Carney has produced albums by The Sheepdogs and Tennis, while Auerbach has appeared either as a player or producer with Grace Potter, Betty LaVette, the Black Diamond Heavies, and Dr. John. The band formed in Akron, Ohio, in 2001, and immediately garnered comparisons to another guitar-and-drums duo, the White Stripes. The Keys forged their own path, however, creating a more bottom-heavy sound than the Stripes, and incorporating production flourishes that brought to mind the late-period Beatles albums. In addition to garnering near-unanimous critical praise, the band won three Grammys for their 2010 album “Brother,” and managed to maintain strong album sales in an era where many rock bands have disappeared from the charts. Though the Black Keys have a decade of touring and recording behind them (and are the headliners at this weekend’s show), the Flaming Lips’ career makes the duo seem like rookies. Over the course of a 30-year career, the Lips have barreled through just about every style of music imaginable, from ’90s grunge rock to abstract experimentation (their 1997 “Zaireeka” album was issued as three discs designed to be played on three different stereos at the same time) to sweeping, psychedelia-infused soundscapes. Led by fright-wigged frontman Wayne Kramer (famous for venturing out into the crowd during shows in an adult-sized plastic bubble), the band is the ultimate example of following art for art’s sake. Though they’ve occasionally flirted with chart success over the years, gaining radio play with “She Don’t Use Jelly” and “Do You Realize” (two of the most stylistically different singles ever issued by one band) and scoring a gold record with 2007’s “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots,” the Flaming Lips are the virtual definition of a “cult band.” Their fans are ferociously devoted and the band reliably sells out shows, but their refusal to adhere to any one style of music has been both a point of pride and a barrier to more mainstream success. But regardless, the Lips put on one of the best live shows in the business, relying heavily on a stunning light show and crowd participation.

R e a l Es tat e News GGAR MARKET OVERVIEW

Have you planned a summer vacation? Upstate tourism is getting a boost with lots of recognition for its beauty. The May 13th edition of USA Today recognized Falls Park in Greenville as one of the top free things to do in the U.S. this summer, competing with top contenders like the Wildlife Habitat at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas, the Crystal Gardens dancing fountains in Chicago’s Navy Pier, and the walking trails of Boulder’s Flatiron Mountain trails. “People happily while away hours strolling across the city’s striking pedestrianly Liberty Bridge, which looks down upon the Reedy River’s inspiring reclaimed waterfall”, wrote the travel editors. The article went on to mention the free Wednesday night concerts at the TD Stage at the Peace Center on the river and Friday nights at the Hyatt Regency on Greenville Heritage Main Street Fridays. In June, TripAdvisor also highlighted Falls Park as the Traveler’s Choice 2013 Ninth Best Park in the United States, calling it “a gem in the heart of Greenville.” In May, Greater Greenville housing sales rose to the highest levels in years. As of June 10th, 2013, sales volume was up a whopping 41.2 percent from May 2012. Prices were up 10.3 percent from a median $144,950 to $159,950 and were the highest in over five years. Homes are also selling faster – an average 96 days, about the length of time it takes to market and sell a home in a hot seller’s market. A normal market has approximately six month’s supply. Greater Greenville Association of REALTORS® represents over 1,600 members in all aspects of the real estate industry.

Lake Hartwell was very close to flood stage Tuesday morning, and as a result the Army Corp of Engineers elected to open the spillway gates of the Hartwell Dam to lower the level of the lake. The lake has not been this high since April 1964. The lake is expected to reach the flood stage of 665 feet by Friday. With all five turbines generating power and the spillway gates open, water swamps the public fishing pier below the Hartwell Dam.

Not funny anymore

journal culture

BIG

No kidding. It really isn’t funny anymore. Falling, that is. There was a time when I doubled over with laughter when I watched Arte Johnson on “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In” (TV comedy, 1967-1973) clad in a long winter black suit, unkempt gray hair scrunched under a black felt hat, furiously pedaling his tricycle and suddenly caving over onto the grass. Remember? Then he’d get on the bike and repeat the identical sequence. Just the sight of that little old man falling over killed me. And I must mention the comedic sketch with Arte and Ruth Buzzi both shyly sitting on a city park bench. Just as Arte would make his amorous move on Ruth, flustered Arte would keel over onto the pavement. Lay there like a cadaver. And who can forget the classic Mr. Magoo? The endearing nearsighted elderly gentleman who kept bumping into things, falling down because he stubbornly refused to admit he was legally blind. Is there a lesson to be learned? Perhaps the stubbornness Mr. Magoo demonstrated was due to the fear of being considered a doddery antique. He was too proud. It’s necessary to keep one’s sense of humor as we age and face physical and emotional obstacles that we would rather ignore. However, once we face and accept the premise that we must surrender our pigheaded attitude and unwarranted vanity (yikes) for our self-preservation, it makes life more simpatico and less accident-prone. The Centers for Disease Control reports that one in three adults age 65 and older fall each year. That statistic is scary. Just think. You or two of your friends or family members will fall this year. I won’t bother to include a synopsis of the articles about “How To Foolproof Your Home for Falling”; the house rules are basically common sense. Good lighting. Eliminate tripping hazards. Etc. The caveat here is that one can secure a house, garden or garage as intelligently as possible, but the ego-issue of self-pride will obliterate rational thinking every time. Take for example yours truly. I live in a two-story house and I consider myself fairly fit, disregarding my arthritis. This spring I tumbled down the hall stairs (carpeted) and was okay; it scared me silly. Culprit: two arms full of laundry and poor lighting. Another incident occurred when I slipped on a tile floor with my wet bare feet. Culprit: stupidity. Then there’s the time I walked out of my beloved sliders and tripped, catching myself by my car door in the grocery store’s parking lot. Culprit: vanity. Yes, I’ve been fortunate to avoid serious injury. And I have learned my lesson. In fact, I am proud (again) of myself for practicing safer and saner daily routines. I now use available railings on all steps. I wear shoes with fitted heels and no more than two inches in height. I had my eyes checked and bought new glasses. (I splurged on the frames.) Finally, although this matter has nothing to do with pride, it could be a matter of broken bones for you who have just adopted a puppy. Pups are darters. Seniors are snails. Our 6-month-old female English retriever sideswiped me in my herb garden as I was leaning down to cut some chives. I didn’t see her coming as she ran in circles chasing her tail. I actually saw stars and thought I was going to pass out. Again, I survived and presently respect her youthful, physical strength whenever we are together at work or play. The stuff of life seems to require balance. Moderation in habits and balance in navigating our aging bodies. Not taking ourselves too seriously and taking sole responsibility for ourselves and our actions paves the way for at least a sense of serenity. Speaking of balance, I read about a current trend about getting fit and firm via a balance bar. The technique is to stimulate small movements using isometrics and a ballet bar. I might give it a try. I wonder if I’d look funny in tights. Think Arte Johnson. Think not.
