OPINION Views from your community
In Defense of Dabo
Coach Swinney’s critics ignore the truly radical nature of his Kaepernick rap By Chris Haire
To paraphrase a quote often misattributed to the late, great Mark Twain, there are only three certainties in this crazy sitcom we call life — death, taxes and the fact that anytime anyone, anywhere attempts to offer a thoughtful opinion on a racially charged subject, that opinion will be roundly misconstrued, mock and maligned.
Drawn Out Loud
It simply doesn’t matter how well-intentioned the speaker was. If any part of what that person said fails to fall strictly in line within a particular group’s hardline parameter, that person will receive a public thrashing the likes of which are normally reserved for washed-up celebrities like Corey Feldman, Tila Tequila and Gary Johnson. Clearly, everybody knows that Aleppo is an off-brand dog food made
by Kate Salley Palmer
from wharf rats and discarded Barbie parts, so please, give Mr. Johnson a break. The point is, we keep saying how we need to have an open and honest discussion about race, but the truth of the matter is, that’s clearly not what anyone wants to do. In fact, such talk ranks right up there with getting a root canal, reading William Faulkner’s “Absalom, Absalom!” and running the Swamp Rabbit Trail dressed as a clown. Those oversized shoes are not made for running. All of which is why it’s worth applauding Dabo Swinney for attempting to navigate what amounts to a public relations Kobayashi Maru. In case you haven’t heard, the Clemson head coach was asked by a sports reporter to offer his opinion on Colin Kaepernick’s refusal to stand during the National Anthem. Considering how Kaepernick doesn’t play for the Tigers and that no current members of Dabo’s squad followed the San Fransciso backup QB’s lead, Swinney didn’t have to answer. But he did. More importantly, he offered a heartfelt opinion. For starters, Dabo said that Kaepernick had every right to do what he did and that as head coach, he would never discipline one of his players for doing the same thing. Make no mistake, if Swinney had stopped there, we’d be hearing a different type of grumbling from the perpetually peeved peanut gallery, one that very well might be calling Dabo a liberal pinko, or some variation thereof. But that didn’t happen. Instead, Swinney went deep, bouncing from MLK to Jesus and criticizing political correctness and bargain-basement bigotry. In the end, Dabo ID’d what he believes is the real bogeyman here — sin — and delivered what might be the single most progressive statement ever issued by a coach, college or otherwise: “The Bible says love your neighbor as you love yourself. It doesn’t say love your neigh-
bor with the same religion. It doesn’t say love your neighbor if they’re the same color as you. It doesn’t say love your neighbor if they pull for the same team as you. It doesn’t say love your neighbor if they are the same gender as you. It doesn’t say love your neighbor if they’re the same sexuality as you. It says love your neighbor as you love yourself. If we all lived by that in this country, we wouldn’t have the problems we have.” I don’t know about you, but I can’t imagine another coach speaking about sexuality in the same manner. Not only is Dabo in step with the times, he’s also speaking honestly and faithfully about the teachings of Jesus Christ, or at least how he understands them. However, Swinney’s critics failed to appreciate just how, um, revolutionary the coach’s love-everybody speech was for not only the Upstate, but the entire South, where so-called bathroom bills have been hastily passed and, in cases like North Carolina, bringing with them disastrous economic consequences. So forget for a moment whether or not Dabo erred in his characterizations of Martin Luther King Jr.’s brand of activism — the good doc engaged in actions that were far more in your face than Kaepernick’s refusal to stand — and think about how Swinney, unlike so many, turned to the Good Book and used it not as a means to condemn and damn but to point out that we are all brothers, and that the greatest thing we can do is to love one another.

Community debates merits of gentrification and growth CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF
of the Phillis Wheatley Association, a social service center in the Nicholtown community. “Downtown Greenville is a wonderful place … but I don’t think it’s affordable for the majority of Greenville.” Greenville Councilwoman Amy Ryberg Doyle called the movement of people wanting to live, work and play in urban centers an overcorrection of sprawl. She said cities that had plans to revitalize their downtowns are benefitting from the trend. “We’re a product of our own success,” said Ryan Johnston, publisher of the Upstate Business Journal and one of the panelists. “We’ve got a great downtown, a very attractive downtown. Real estate is location, loca-
clandrum@communityjournals.com
Downtown is changing and not everybody can afford the new one, but that’s not necessarily all bad, a group of panelists said at a Warehouse Theatre forum entitled “Affording Greenville: Rights vs. Privileges.” Accessibility and affordability of downtown has been the subject of debate, especially as more apartment complexes, hotels and retail are being built in the city’s core. “Downtown Greenville is affordable if all you’re doing is walking,” said Pastor Darian Blue, senior pastor at Nicholtown Missionary Baptist Church and executive director
CURRENT DEVELOPMENTS
tion, location and supply and demand. It’s only going to get much more unaffordable as far as what it takes to live on Main Street. It’s almost like we’re doing too many things right.” The attractiveness has meant higher rents for Main Street businesses and downtown residential developments. Greenville has one of the lowest average rents among North and South Carolina cities included in the Real Data Apartment Index, and one of the highest average rents of all the downtown submarkets. According to Real Data, the average rent in the city of Greenville in June was $899 but the average rent in downtown was $1,476.
Downtown is more than the city’s Central Business District and includes Stone Avenue, North Main, the area around Cleveland Park, Church Street, the edge of the Hampton-Pinckney historic district, Ridgeland Drive and Overbrook. But higher rents downtown are not all bad, Johnston and Doyle said. “The number one thing I get excited about is the gentrification of Main Street,” Johnston said. Businesses that can’t afford Main Street rents locate in less expensive areas near downtown and help revitalize those areas, he said, which can help reduce traffic and density concerns. “There is some silver lining in the growth on Main Street.”

Doyle said that as Main Street gets more expensive, more developers are expressing interest in areas such as Stone Avenue, Brandon Mill and West Greenville. “Those areas benefit,” she said. Ivory Mathews, the executive director of the Greenville Housing Authority, said that while the Greenville Housing Authority has $50 million of affordable housing currently under construction in the outskirts of downtown Greenville, it’s not enough. “[Tuesday] we opened 55 affordable units for seniors and in a week, we took in more than 300 applications,” she said. When planned construction is completed in the next few years, the GHA will have added 869 units to the 546 affordable housing units it already has at a cost of nearly $187 million. But that’s not nearly enough, Mathews said. “We’ve been in the community for 78 years, but we’d like to see private developers set aside some of their units as affordable. If you’re building 300 units, could you not set aside two or three as affordable? Many of the families we serve come to our doors because of life circumstances. They are seniors on fixed income who are aging in place. They are people with medical situations that don’t allow them to maintain a job that en-
ables them to pay market rate.” People earning 120 percent of the area mean income ($48,700 for a single person or $69,600 for a family of four) are eligible for affordable housing help from the GHA. “A teacher at A.J. Whittenberg Elementary who makes $40,000 can’t afford to live downtown, I think we can all agree,” Mathews said. The city has hired a consultant to determine the city’s affordable housing needs at various income levels, the current inventory and strategies to increase its availability. Some audience members said they don’t think it’s the city’s job to make housing and entertainment downtown affordable for all. The market will determine prices, they said. But the city should make downtown welcoming. “There’s a group of people who want to enjoy it but don’t feel a part of it,” Blue said. But he said it’s hard for him to separate the growth and money poured into downtown with the poverty all over the city. “Such a huge amount of money has been poured into one place,” he said. “How do we get that into the poverty-stricken areas of Greenville?”

Remember To Mark Your Calendars SEPTEMBER ����� Proudly Supported by
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) announced on Monday, Sept. 12, its plan to pull seven championships out of the Tar Heel State in response to the state’s socalled bathroom bill, House Bill 2; one of the affected cities is Greensboro, N.C., which was supposed to host the first and second round of the 2017 men’s basketball tournament. On Wednesday, Sept. 14, the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) followed suit by announcing it would move its championship football game scheduled for Dec. 3 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C., and seven other championships from North Carolina. Officials in Greenville and Spartanburg counties said they are reviewing open bids for the NCAA events. The ACC championships are out of reach, because bidding rules require prospective host cities to have an institution in the conference as a partner. “The recent developments in North Carolina and the NCAA’s decision to rebid those events have given us pause to see if we have the facilities or schools to partner with to host those events,” said Chris Jennings, executive vice president of the Spartanburg Convention and Visitors Bureau. “We’re actively reviewing the open bids and will make a decision that benefits the community and the host college.” The NCAA said bids must be submitted by Sept. 27 and it hopes to make its decision on the new sites by Oct. 7. ACC officials have not yet released bid details. In addition to the football championship, the ACC said it will relocate championships for women’s soccer, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, women’s basketball, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s golf and baseball to other “neutral sites.” “The ACC presidents engaged in a constructive, wide-ranging and vigorous discussion of this complex issue over the past two days,” said James Clements, Clemson University president and chairman of the ACC Council of Presidents, in a statement. “The decision to move the neutral site championships out of North Carolina while HB2 remains the law was not an easy one, but it is consistent with the shared values of inclusion and non-discrimination at all of our institutions.” David Montgomery, vice president of sales for VisitGreenvilleSC, said Greenville is pulling together all of its “stakeholders” in hopes of submitting a bid for the NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament. Those entities include Furman University, the Southern Conference and Bon Secours Wellness Arena. “We want to make sure we do it right,” Montgomery said. “We feel like we’ve got the right infrastructure, expertise and partners. All of our stakeholders, from hotels to schools,
the arena and venues, restaurants and activities — we feel like we’ve got an ideal package. The competition is very fierce. But we feel like if we can get our proposal in front of the right people at the right time, we have a very good chance.” Beth Paul, general manager of Bon Secours Wellness Arena, said the basketball championships could produce 6,200 room nights for local hotels and have an economic impact of $3.8 million. Paul said the 15,000-seat arena has already participated in bids for NCAA championships between 2019 and 2022 that include first and second round men’s basketball, women’s bas-
BREAKDOWN • Furman, SoCon and The Well have bid on early rounds of the 2017 NCAA men’s basketball tournament • The men’s basketball tournament would bring an estimated $3.8 million to the area • The NCAA should make a decision by Oct. 7
said the South Carolina Sports Alliance, a collection of tourism agencies across the state, is “aggressively” going after some of the open bids.
Beth Paul, Bon Secours Wellness Arena general manager, is ‘cautiously optimistic’ about NCAA bid
ketball and Division III baseball. Local officials hope to use those bids as a foundation to win the 2017 NCAA men’s basketball championships, she said. “Being awarded an NCAA bid in 2017 or future years would position us well,” she said. “It would be a great asset to our ability to host future tournaments.” According to Paul there are several factors that could tip the scale in favor of Greenville. She said the arena exceeds the space requirements for media crews, teams, coaches and officials. It is also close to downtown’s retail and dining district, as well as other activities visitors can enjoy while they’re in town. Paul said the county also has an adequate number of hotel rooms to accommodate athletes, families, fans and other participants. “It’s a highly competitive process,” Paul said. “We are excited and cautiously optimistic. We believe we have put together a proposal that should be very compelling.” Jennings said Spartanburg has already bid, during its normal bidding process, to host the Division I cross-country championship at the University of South Carolina Upstate and the Division II softball championship at Converse College. The county is looking into the open bid for the Division I basketball event, but is even more interested in the Division I lacrosse and soccer championships, Jennings said. Jennings
For the first time in decades, the Palmetto State is able to bid on NCAA events because of the removal of the Confederate battle flag from the South Carolina Statehouse grounds in July 2015. Jennings equated tensions over the flag in South Carolina with the HB2 law in its neighbor to the north. “The bathroom bill is their flag issue,” Jennings said. “This has opened a door for us to take another look at some additional events.” Sports tourism has had a major impact on Spartanburg in recent years. In 2015, the county netted about $16 million from two non-collegiate softball tournaments and the NFL Carolina Panthers training camp at Wofford College. This summer, the training camp attracted a record 135,371 visitors, which shattered the previous record of 77,625 fans set in 2015. The county also hosted the USA Track & Field (USATF) Junior Olympic Region Four Track and Field Championship July 7–10, which brought in thousands of athletes and spectators. Jennings said the economic impact numbers from this year’s Panthers camp should be finalized in the coming weeks. According to the Greenville County Rec’s website, baseball, soccer and swimming tournaments hosted in the county in June had a $6.5 million economic benefit and attracted nearly 15,000 visitors.

A year ago the network, which was created by the Greenville Health System, enrolled in a program that aims to improve Medicare patients’ health, while also cutting the cost of patients’ medical care, and MyHFN’s efforts were successful, according to a recent CMS announcement about the 2015 results. “We were recognized by CMS for being a high achiever,” says Dr. Angelo Sinopoli, president of MyHealth First Network and vice president of clinical integration and chief medical officer at GHS. The network cut Medicare costs by an estimated $17.5 million among a Medicare population of 60,000 patients. The results placed MyHFN as No. 2 in the country for a first-year participant of the Medicare Shared Savings Program. MyHFN had volunteered to participate. One way MyHFN has improved care while cutting costs to Medicare is through giving Medicare patients better access to care at fam-
ily doctor offices and elsewhere in the community. Many times, patients go to the emergency room or are hospitalized because they were unable to get regular medical help from a family doctor or a community health clinic. Called MyHealth First Network, MyHFN has about 2,000 health care providers in 11 Upstate counties. MyHFN identified Medicare patients, using a database that analyzed ER visits and hospitalizations, to determine who would most benefit from the program. “We reach out to patients and provide an easier means for them to get access to health care than coming to the ER,” Sinopoli says. “We try to intervene with them early, before they need to come to the hospital, and this has resulted in better clinical outcomes.” The $17.5 million that the MyHFN has saved Medicare is shared between MyHFN and CMS. Medicare returns half of that savings to the network. GHS, as a member of the network, also reduced its own revenue. “You might ask why would any hospital system do something that would cut their revenues by $17.5 million, and the answer for us is we think it’s the right thing to do,” Sinopoli explains.
The other reason for participating is practical: “It’s like a car manufacturer who is producing cars and realizes that going forward, it’s really jet cars that will be the future,” Sinopoli says. “So they have to build a new factory and new production line to be successful in the future.” While building the new infrastructure, the manufacturer will spend a lot of money and time, but since the old cars are going away, it’s time to get ready for the new mode of transportation, he adds. “We think, going forward, this will be the standard for how Medicare is paid, so we’re looking at this as a time to learn and develop these competencies,” Sinopoli says. The change in how Medicare operates is a shift from a fee-for-service system, where health care providers are paid for each patient visit and intervention, to a population health system in which they’re paid a set price and have to give patients all the care they need within that set amount. Theoretically, the money saved from reduced hospital and ER visits could pay for better health care at the community level, especially when large health systems, like GHS, own community practices.
JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED The MyHealth First Network, started by Greenville Hospital System, did more than cut Medicare costs by $17.5 million; they achieved the following results: � 5% reduction in overall, short-term hospitalizations � 12% reduction in long-term hospital stays � 3% drop emergency room visits resulting in hospitalization � 30% increase in use of primary care nurse practitioners and and other clinical professionals. But it doesn’t work this way yet, Sinopoli says. Besides losing revenue that the health system would have received from Medicare reimbursements for hospitalizations and ER visits, GHS and other network providers had to spend money to pay for the programs, care management and data systems that were used to keep patients healthier. “It really was a double whammy,” Sinopoli says. “We invested money to make this successful, and our success means we receive less payment from Medicare.”

NEWS IN BRIEF LAW ENFOREMENT
Police institute new mediation process to address complaints Citizens now have an alternative way to resolve certain types of complaints made against the Greenville Police Department. Through a new voluntary community-police mediation program, professional Upstate Mediation Center mediators will guide citizens and police officers through a face-to-face discussion of citizen complaints about an officer’s demeanor, bias-based policing and a lack of effective communication. Both the citizen and the officer must agree to
participate and there is no cost to the complainant. The mediator guides the two parties through a constructive discussion about the incident in a controlled environment. Each has the opportunity to tell their side and explain how they were affected. The mediator works with the two parties to help them reach a mutually acceptable resolution. “Citizen complaints about law enforcement often stem from misunderstandings and poor communication during emotionally charged events,” said Greenville Police spokesman Gilberto Franco. “The goal of mediation is to alleviate the accompanying anger, fear, anxiety, trauma and resentment and to provide an opportunity for both the citizen and the
officer to tell their side of the story in a non-threatening, nonjudgmental setting.” How citizen complaints about police are handled has been an issue in Greenville and Greenville County since local protests were held in July after the back-to-back shootings of black men by white police officers in Louisiana and Minnesota last month. Protestors demanded changes to the city’s Commission on Fire and Police Practices and the creation of a citizen review board for the Sheriff’s Office. The city’s police and fire commission has five members of the public appointed by City Council. The fire and police departments each have a representative on the commission, but they do not
have a vote. City officials are considering changes to how a complaint is filed and make the commission’s role in the complaint process clearer. Franco said that while the Greenville Police Department’s command staff was researching how law enforcement agencies in other cities resolve citizen complaints, they discovered Denver, New York and Pasadena, Calif., have had success with mediation. The program is believed to be the first of its kind in South Carolina. Citizens may submit a complaint online at police.greenvillesc.gov/complaint or by calling the department’s Internal Affairs Division at 467-5510. - Cindy Landrum

Council considers spending surplus on affordable housing. Some funds will go to Public Works relocation.
91 grants totaling $4.2 million in 10 years
72 more than
organizations touched since 2006
530 members
Greenville finished its financial year with a $5.5 million general fund surplus, and some City Council members want to use part of it for affordable housing. The surplus is the amount of money in the general fund in excess of the city’s requirement to keep 20 percent of its budget in reserve. The general fund pays for items that aren’t covered by special revenues such as stormwater fees, zoo admissions or accommodations taxes. For starters, $1.7 million of the $5.5 million will to go pay for part of the cost of moving the city’s Public Works facility from the banks of the Reedy River to city-owned property on Fairforest Way. The city had originally planned to issue bonds for the $1.7 million. Moving the public works complex will cost $25.6 million. Under the city’s financing formula, 29 percent of the total cost of the relocation, or $7.3 million, would come from the city’s stormwater fund. The plan had called for the city to borrow $1.7 million of stormwater’s share. Councilwoman Gaye Sprague opposed using stormwater funds for the public works relocation, saying that while she supported moving public works and building a new city park on the site, they
shouldn’t be Greenville’s top priority. She wanted the city to wait for a stormwater study to be completed before committing stormwater funds to the move. The Council agreed to reconsider the source of the $1.7 million after the 2015-16 budget year ended in June. That leaves $3.8 million for Council to allocate on other projects. Councilwoman Jil Littlejohn wants to spend at least $2 million of that to further the city’s efforts to increase the amount of affordable housing in the city limits. Consulting firm CZB LLC told a committee working on a citywide affordable housing plan that Greenville is 2,500 units short and that it would take $10 million a year for 25 years to catch up, not keep up with demand. Littlejohn said she’d like to use some of the surplus for land banking and home rehabilitation programs. Councilwoman Lillian Brock Flemming said the city has never made a “true investment” for affordable housing from its general fund. “We have the opporunity to partner and make a substantial commitment,” she said. “Affordable housing is not just somebody getting free rent. It’s students getting out of college, or a lot of them are seniors. Mayor Knox White said the city used general fund money for affordable housing twice in the past as matching funds for federal grants. White said the city has an opportunity to do something significant with affordable housing in the Washington Street area because it owns property there. - Cindy Landrum

NEWS IN BRIEF HEALTH SYSTEM
Community hears both sides of GHS privatization issue Health insurers and the government are pushing health systems to merge and form partnerships in order to save costs. This is something both current Greenville Health System (GHS) board of trustees chair Lisa Stevens and former GHS trustee Dell Baker agree is true. But Stevens and Baker disagree on how GHS should meet these challenges. The pair explained their positions on GHS’ move from a public nonprofit health system to become a private nonprofit organization at a Sept. 12 luncheon at First Monday in Greenville, a Republican forum. South Carolina Act 432 was signed by Gov. Strom Thurmond in 1947 to provide Greenville’s local hospital with more independence from government control, Stevens said. The Greenville hospital had been run with direct city oversight for three decades, and the hospital’s board could see that it needed to expand to serve the entire county. “The board found that a small city could not support a hospital,” Stevens says. “They wanted a hospital free of government control.” Baker said that he objects to the governance change because he believes that if GHS wants to make a change, it should ask the legislative delegation to write legislation that would make this possible and legal. The GHS board did not agree with him and, instead, proceeded to make the change.
Now, nearly seven decades after Act 432 was signed, the Greenville Health System has a $2.3 billion budget, eight campuses, 1,756 beds, 12 specialty hospitals and more than 150 practice sites in the Upstate. GHS is the largest of the state’s health systems that are operated as public nonprofits. Others include Self Regional Healthcare in Greenwood and Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System, Stevens notes. To stay solvent, the large health system needs to have greater flexibility, and that can best be accomplished through a private nonprofit model, similar to Bon Secours St. Francis Health System, Columbia-based Palmetto Health and AnMed Health in Anderson, Stevens said. Another problem with what GHS is doing involves how they’re doing it without public transparency, Baker said. “It concerns me that it was developed over six months at meetings that were not open to the public,” he said. The South Carolina Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requires all meetings of a government board to be public. “I believe strict adherence to FOIA laws is essential,” Baker said. Along with 11 other plaintiffs, Baker filed a complaint against GHS in the court of common pleas on Sept. 2, 2 016. The complaint asks the court to decide whether GHS is violating Act 432 with its change and to rule on whether GHS violated state FOIA laws. - Melinda Young

Twenty-five years after his defection to escape a repressive regime, Greenville Symphony Orchestra conductor Edvard Tchivzhel watches as Russia slides back to its tyrannical past Words by Cindy Landrum | Photos by Chelsey Ashford Edvard Tchivzhel’s defection from the Soviet Union had all of the makings of a Cold War spy movie, from clandestine calls from pay phones to escape the ears of KGB agents planted inside the Soviet State Symphony Orchestra to a thrilling car chase to freedom. But while the lives of Tchivzhel and his family changed drastically since he left his homeland, Tchivzhel said Russia has not. “When the Soviet Union collapsed, people thought it would be the end of communism,” he said. “Unfortunately, it’s an infection that was not completely stopped. The roots of communism are too deep in Russia.” Tchivzhel has been the conductor and music director of the Greenville Symphony Orchestra since 1999, the same year he became a U.S. citizen. But Tchivzhel had thoughts of defecting long before that fateful USSR State Symphony Orchestra tour in 1991 that opened in Greenville at the Peace Center, the city’s new performance hall. At the time of his defection, Tchivzhel was associate conductor of the USSR State Symphony Orchestra, a position that afforded him acclaim at home and the opportunity to travel across Scandinavia, Europe and Aus-
tralia. After each tour, he had to return home to the Soviet Union, where everything happened by permission of the government “I was unhappy with the slavery in Russia. It was like you were in prison,” he said. “You were not master of your own life.” That life was tough, too. Store shelves were often empty and people waited in long lines when they weren’t, said Tchivzhel’s wife, Luba. “You’d get 500 grams of meat a month. It would last two weeks. We didn’t know if there would be milk for our child to drink,” she said. “People have to be in that environment to understand how you’re oppressed. Unless you’ve lived it, you just don’t know.” But Tchivzhel defected for more than bread or milk or freer travel. “Feeling one way and living another, being told to think one way and believing the opposite is difficult. I knew life was hypocrisy. The Soviet Union was one of the worst places to be, but you had to pretend it was the best one.” His hatred for the government ran deep. Stalin executed his grandfather for being an alleged Latvian spy.
Unusual chance Tchivzhel could have defected during one of his earlier tours, but there was a problem. He was never able to take his wife and child with him. “The government used family members as hostages so you’d come back,” he said. Losing his whole family forever was a cost Tchivzhel wasn’t willing to take. But when a government official suggested he take his family on the monthlong American tour at his own expense, he knew his family had been offered an unusual chance. They didn’t talk about their defection with their parents, family or friends. They only discussed it when they were outside of their home in case their home was bugged. As President Mikhail Gorbachev’s initiatives for restructuring and openness grew, so did the Tchivzhels’ concern that permission to travel as a family during the U.S. tour would be withdrawn. Fortunately for them — and Greenville — it wasn’t.
Chuck E. Cheese The night before the Greenville orchestra concert that would open the Soviet or-
chestra’s 24-city North American tour, Lena Forster, a Russian ballerina who was general manager of the Greenville Ballet, took the Tchivzhels to Chuck E. Cheese’s for dinner. As music blared and video games beeped, Luba Tchivzhel asked Forster if she would help them defect. “I could tell [Foster] was a nice person by her eyes,” she said. “She felt like my sister, not somebody I had just met.” When her husband found out later what she had done, he was furious because he thought Forster could have been a KGB agent. An hour later, there was a knock on the Tchvizhels’ hotel room door. “That was a very scary moment,” he said. Fortunately, it wasn’t the KGB at the door. It was somebody from the Greenville Ballet. The next night in Charlotte, Forster told them she had talked to Greenville lawyer Larry Estridge, whose practice was in commercial real estate, and he agreed to help. The rest of the tour meant secret late-night phone calls by Tchvizhel to Estridge through Forster, all from pay phones in order to not be overheard by KGB agents who accompanied the orchestra. Tchivzhel tried hard not to raise suspicions, although his decision to rent a Jet Ski at a Miami beach could have ruined his plan. The ride cost $30, one day’s per diem for the musicians, for 15 minutes. “The other musicians thought, ‘How stupid. How wasteful.’ Fortunately, it didn’t raise suspicions. I was more careful after that.”
Ride to freedom Finally, the Tchivzhels’ journey to freedom ended at a Washington, D.C., airport. The orchestra arrived after a concert in Long Island. Six FBI agents were there to take him away in a three-car caravan. Against the wishes of the FBI, Tchivzhel first said goodbye to the musicians, telling them he was going to visit friends. The FBI gave Forster a ribbon to wear on her sleeve. When she asked why, she was told that if something went wrong, the FBI would know who to shoot and who not to shoot. “I think that was the first time she didn’t think it was a game,” Tchivzhel said. Original plans called for the caravan to go to an immigration office in Washington, D.C., but when the KGB followed, the agents THE MAESTRO continued on PAGE 16

THE MAESTRO continued from PAGE 15
decided to divert to an immigration office in Baltimore, a 40-minute drive, instead. That’s where Tchivzhel applied for political asylum saying his life was in danger. Estridge helped get a unflattering comment by Tchivzhel published in an obscure agricultural publication to prove his life was in danger. The FBI gave the Tchivzhels two options while they waited for the U.S. government to decide whether to grant them asylum. They could stay in a hotel with FBI security or they could stay with Forster at her home in Simpsonville. They decided to wait in Greenville County. Tchivzhel’s main concern was getting a job. He applied for three and accepted the first one he was offered as conductor of the Fort Wayne (Ind.) Symphony Orchestra. He had also applied for jobs in Charlotte and Columbia. “I couldn’t take the risk [of not accepting the Fort Wayne job]. At the time, Fort Wayne was a bigger and stronger orchestra than Greenville.” He was appointed conductor and music director of the Greenville Symphony in 1999. He resigned from the Fort Wayne orchestra in 2008. “I owe Greenville. I felt I had to give more back to the great city that helped us so much,” he said.
Familiar pattern Tchivzhel said he sees Russia drifting back toward its Soviet past. “They say that Gorbachev was a criminal who destroyed the Soviet Union,” he said. He said Russia’s actions in Ukraine aren’t surprising to him because Vladimir Putin is KGB. “Stalin is more and more iconic for Russia. They are building statues for him. They want to go back to his rules,” Tchivzhel said. While there is more freedom in Russia than before he left, that freedom has become less and less. “The mentality is very much the same,” he said. “To exist, they neglect the life conditions of the Russian people. In Russia, they don’t care that there’s not much food and there’s a really harsh daily life. It’s more important to be strong. That Russia is strong enough to kill everybody gives them pride. They create slaves who are proud to be slaves.” To read about the Greenville Symphony Orchestra’s 2016-17 Masterworks season, including this weekend’s “The Great Escape” concert celebrating the silver anniversary of conductor Edvard Tchivzhel’s defection from the Soviet Union, go to page 28.

GRINDING AWAY
With the county’s help, the dream of a Poe Mill skatepark could become a reality Photos by Will Crooks
CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF
clandrum@communityjournals.com
Plans for an official Poe Mill skateboard park are slowly rolling forward. After Poe Mill shut down and a fire destroyed most of the more than 100-year-old structure in 2003, skateboarders turned it into a makeshift skate park. They cleared the rubble so they could ride their boards and built ramps and other structures so they could do tricks. Now the Greenville County Recreation Department has asked skateboarders for names of designers to evaluate the site and produce a concept drawing and estimate how much it would cost to turn the makeshift park into a destination “wheel park.” Ty Houck, the county’s Director of Greenways, Natural and Historic Resources, said the design will be paid for through federal brownfield funds the Greenville County
Redevelopment Authority received to remediate the 11-acre former mill site at Buncombe and A streets. Plans call for a 40,000-square-foot park for skateboarders and people who enjoy other recreational wheel sports such as rollerskating and rollerblading. “I’ve personally seen where skate parks have completely changed areas,” said Adrian Gallardo, owner of Blazer Skate Shop on Laurens Road and an avid skateboarder. Gallardo moved to Greenville from Breckenridge, Colo., which has three skate parks and is building a fourth. “The bad element doesn’t want to be up to no good where there are soccer moms and whistleblowers.” Gallardo is leading a grass-roots effort to raise money for the park. But before that can happen, remediation of the former mill property must be completed, Houck said. Remediation consists of putting three feet of dirt over any place that is not already cov-
“I’ve seen wheel parks completely change areas. The bad element doesn’t want to be up to no good where there are soccer moms and whistleblowers.” Adrian Gallardo, owner of Blazer, a skateboard shop on Laurens Road ered with concrete, said Imma Nwodobu, program manager for the Redevelopment Authority. Houck said that’s where Greenville’s building boom has been a big help, because developers have dumped thousands of cubic yards of dirt they had to remove from their construction sites at Poe Mill, saving thousands of dollars. The money saved will be
used to bring in a skateboard park designer who will complete a site evaluation. “We’re capitalizing on all of the construction sites around Greenville,” he said. Houck said the county hopes to have a concept plan and cost estimate done within the next three months. But once the Poe Mill site remediation is complete and the site evaluation is com-

plete, that doesn’t mean construction of the park will start immediately. The county has no money budgeted for the park. The 40,000-square-foot wheel park is 8,000 square feet bigger than SK8 Charleston, a new skate park on the north side of the peninsula in Charleston that has been years in the making. Team Pain, a skate park design group from Florida, designed that park. SK8 Charleston features two pool-shaped bowls, one 12 feet deep and another 6 to 8 feet deep. There’s a 200-foot snake run that includes different-sized bends, hills, roll-ins

and kickers. A street course modeled after downtown Charleston includes a quarter pipe, stairs, rails, fun boxes and flats. It is expected to open by the end of the year. Gallardo said the Poe Mill park is already known nationally among skateboarders. The Poe Mill park will be a premier wheel park in the Carolinas that will attract skateboarders from a wide area, he said. “A park that size could attract major competitions and demos by major companies,” he said. “It’s going to bring in a lot of tourism.”

Spartanburg Art Museum unveils ambitious light bulbthemed installation TREVOR ANDERSON | STAFF
tanderson@communityjournals.com
A new public art project hopes to illuminate Spartanburg County’s economic and cultural renaissance. Spartanburg Art Museum (SAM) has announced it will launch “Lighten Up Spartanburg” later this month. The project entails the installation of 30 6-foot fiberglass lightbulb sculptures across the community that have been painted, decorated or transformed in some way by local and regional artists. “In the last decade or so, we’ve really seen a lot of businesses, city government and the Spartanburg Area Chamber of Commerce rally to make downtown an attractive and exciting place to be,” said Mat Duncan, curator of collections and community development coordinator for SAM. “In that spirit, we started thinking about how we could convey Spartanburg’s transition into the 21st century. This is the new Spartanburg. We see the lightbulb as a representation of a new period of growth and innovation that is occurring across the community.” Duncan said 28 businesses have provided financial support for the project. Those figures are still being finalized, but he said the investment is “significant.” “Lighten Up Spartanburg” is separate from, but will complement, “Seeing Spartanburg in a New Light,” another public art project funded by a $1 million grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies that will include temporary art instillations at nine sites across the city. “This also represents a transition and change that SAM is going through,” Duncan said. “We’ve changed the focus from traditional art to more contemporary art – things that people can connect with today… We’re trying to become the kind of muse-

um that Spartanburg wants and deserves.” The first three completed bulbs will be introduced during a kickoff event on Sept. 29 at Indigo Hall. Four artists commissioned for those bulbs, including Bailey Bailie, Page Davis, Ann Eickman and Susan Floyd, will unveil their designs at the event. Duncan said SAM is still seeking artists to work on the 27 remaining bulbs. He said the installation of the bulbs will occur in March. SAM will develop an app that will basically be a digital walking tour of the bulb sites, complete with audio that explains each one in more detail. A majority of the bulbs will be placed within downtown’s “cultural district,” which Duncan referred to as Morgan Square and the surrounding areas that feature art galleries and other public art. “It’s moving to see these symbols of the dynamic city Spartanburg is becoming at the center of the community,” said Elizabeth Goddard, executive director of SAM, in a statement. “The work we’ve done with Spartanburg neighborhoods as a part of our contribution to ‘Seeing Spartanburg in a New Light’ really brought to our attention a desire and need for public art. ‘Lighten Up Spartanburg’ is our answer to that need.” Duncan said another layer to the project will be to encourage eco“Lighten Up Spartanburg” Launch Event nomic development When: Thursday, Sept. 29, 7-10 p.m. and activity by attractWhere: Indigo Hall, 190 Ezell St., Spartanburg ing more visitors to downtown.

A total of 51 6-foot fiberglass lightbulb sculptures were decorated by local artists in celebration of the 25th anniversary of The Lighthouse, an after-school program that offers academic support and recreational activities. “It is another example of the really dynamic and talented arts community that we have in Spartanburg,” said Will Rothschild, a spokesman for the city. “It’s a project that’s going to generate a lot of interest and talk, brighten up a lot of places and get businesses and other places involved. We’re fortunate to have organizations like SAM to make it happen. It really is a bonus for us. We’re looking forward to seeing these installations go up.”

But when every cat cage and Animal Care is filled, it’s hard for a dog to maintain his sanity.

Drivin’ N’ Cryin’ N’ Helpin’ Southern rockers headline Stamp Out Hunger benefit VINCENT HARRIS | CONTRIBUTOR
vharris@communityjournals.com
For the last 25 years, Loaves & Fishes has been helping feed poor and underprivileged Upstate residents. The nonprofit goes to grocery stores, restaurants and catered events, gets the food that would otherwise be wasted and redistributes it to agencies that feed the hungry. That might be a soup kitchen or a food pantry or an after-school program for at-risk youth. In 2015, Loaves & Fishes rescued 1.9 million pounds of food, says development coordinator Tessa Porter. Donors include BI-LO, Publix, Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s. “The employees hate to see that food going to waste,� Porter says. “They’re always so glad that we’re able to take that perfectly good food and put it into the hands of the people who need it.�
Loaves & Fishes relies on donations, grants and fundraisers like the annual Rock Out Hunger concert for their funding. This year’s event is the sixth annual Rock Out Hunger, and it’s the biggest yet. The event will take place at Fluor Field on Thursday, and the headlining band is the popular Southern rock band Drivin’ N’ Cryin’. Together since the early ’80s, Drivin’ N’ Cryin’ is one of the most enduring rock bands in the country, maintaining a large regional fan base on the strength of hits like “Build a Fire,� “Straight to Hell� and “Fly Me Courageous.� “We have a wonderful committee of people who help us plan our events, in particular Katie Plowman who used to be with The Handlebar,� Porter says. “We sat down with her and Trevor Gordon from our title sponsor Sandlapper Securities LLC, who’s a huge music fan. We talked to local musicians just to kind of get an idea of who they would want to see. We’ve been trying to elevate the types of bands we’ve been bringing in, and Drivin’ N’ Cryin’ was a favorite of ours. We’re just thrilled to have them.� Also on the bill is Hans Wenzel, a former Upstate resident now living in Charleston who’s playing with his new band, The Eighty

Wenzel says that the band, who just released two new digital singles, “Last Train” and “Devil’s Tea,” are thrilled to be involved for a couple of reasons. “We like to help out a good cause when we can, and we get to play with Drivin’ N’ Cryin’ in the process,” Wenzel says. “It’s a winwin.” Drivin’ N’ Cryin’ This is the event’s first year at Fluor Field. “We like to keep things downtown just for ease of access to bring in the maximum number of people, and we also hope to continue to grow it,” Porter says. “What we were looking for was a forever home for the event, one where, no matter how big we get, we can have it at Fluor Field.” The idea, Porter says, is to move beyond the 250-300 people who typically come attend Rock Out Hunger. “The vast majority of those people are people who support Loaves & Fishes and are going to come out no matter what we do,” she says. “But we’re hoping that this year with Drivin’ N’ Cryin’, because

Remembering the past GSO honors Tchivzhel, remembers Mobley CINDY LANDRUM | STAFF
clandrum@communityjournals.com
Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 3 had a place on the program when Edvard Tchivzhel conducted the USSR State Symphony Orchestra’s American tour opening concert in Greenville in 1991. It will be part of the program of “The Great Escape,” the Greenville Symphony Orchestra’s season-opening Masterworks concert this week that celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Maestro’s defection from the Soviet Union at the end of that tour. It’s part of a Masterworks’ 2016 season that features a special memorial concert for the GSO’s late Executive Director Sherwood Mobley, the Upstate premiere of “Cirque de la Symphonie” and guest artists. Add in a German-themed concert with a free beer tasting in the symphony’s chamber orchestra series, a spotlight series featuring small groups of GSO musicians in an intimate theater setting and a holiday show featuring a Broadway star, and it has the makings of a season with something for everyone. Greenville was the first stop Tchivzhel and the USSR State Symphony Orchestra in its 1991 tour. Tchivzhel took the first step to defection there. He and his family defected after the tour’s final concert. Tchaikovsky’s Symphony No. 3 was featured in both. “The Great Escape” features Tchaikovsky as well as Aaron Copland’s “Lincoln Portrait” and George Gershwin’s “An American in Paris.” Edwin McCain will narrate “Lincoln Portrait.” On Nov. 5 and 6, “Genius Against Tyrant” features the music of Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 10, written immediately after Joseph Stalin’s death. “It is known for its second movement — a brutal, terrifying portrait of this bloodthirsty dictator, and for the unrestrained joy of liberation,” Tchivzhel said. Canadian pianist and composer Dmitri Levkovich will make his Greenville debut as a guest artist. “In the Company of Great Romantics” is Jan. 28-29 and features rising star Edisher Savitski in Prokofiev’s Piano Concert No. 3. The concert also features Weber’s “Overture to Oberon” and Schumann’s Symphony No. 4. “This program offers a striking juxtaposition of the beautiful world of German Romantics and bold and wildly energetic sounds of the great innovator of the 20th century, Sergie Prokofieve,” Tchivzhel said. “His third piano concerto in a powerful presentation of the young rising star Savitski is going to blow the audience away.”
Sherwood Mobley
GSO’s fourth Masterworks concert is “Musical Desserts & Magic” on March 4 and 5. Guest artist Roman Kim will perform Paganini’s first violin concerto. The concert also features music from Rossini and Dvorak. “Triumph of the Human Spirit” is a tribute to the GSO’s late executive director and timpanist Sherwood Mobley, who died in February. The concert, set for April 8 and 9, will feature Mozart’s “Overture to Don Giovanni” and his timeless “Serenade” (“Eine kleine Nachtmusik”) as well as Mahler’s Symphony No. 6, a symphony referred to as his “traffic symphony.” “Cirque de la Symphonie” on May 6 and 7, 2017, will combine the live orchestra with cirque artistry. “Each performance is perfectly choreographed to popular masterpieces to create a mesmerizing harmony of sound and body movement,” Tchivzhel said.

CULTURE Sound Check Notes on the Music Scene with Vincent Harris
In praise of ‘Pinkerton’
Local rockers celebrate 20th anniversary of Weezer’s cult favorite On Sept. 23, 1996, Weezer released an album called “Pinkerton.” It was the follow-up to their triple-platinum debut, which spawned the catchy-but-heavy hits “Say It Ain’t So,” “Buddy Holly” and “Undone – The Sweater Song.” “Pinkerton” was about as far from their so-called “Blue Album” debut as could be. The guitar roar was still there, but it was in service of a series of dark, brooding songs that inverted the breezy pop hooks of “The Blue Album” into bleak dirges with titles like “Tired of Sex.” The album, inspired either by leader Rivers Cuomo’s feelings of disconnection while on the road or a medicated post-leg-surgery haze, depending on who you ask, sold about a third of what Weezer’s debut managed, garnered some modest critical acclaim and then vanished. Cuomo disowned the record in later years, and the band quickly returned to their sunny pop tendencies.
Mickey Kriese
But then a funny thing happened. A dedicated cult grew around “Pinkerton” over the next two decades, eventually bringing it back to life commercially. Today, many regard it as Weezer’s best album, and it had a huge effect on Upstate singer, guitarist and songwriter Mickey Kriese. So much so, in fact, that with the 20th anniversary of Pinkerton’s release on the horizon, he decided to organize a tribute show at Gottrocks to celebrate. “There’d been some discussion about it being the 20th anniversary of the album, and when I realized it was coming up, I started thinking about how great the record was, and I thought it would be cool to throw something together for Weezer,” Kriese says. “I enjoy the band a lot and I know a lot of other people do too, and you never really see a tribute show with something like this. Usually it’s Pink Floyd or Dylan. You haven’t really seen it with a lot of bands that came out in the ’90s. I thought it would be a good idea to try it out.” Kriese has been a huge fan of “Pinkerton” since the beginning. “I would consider it their magnum opus,” he says. “And I think a lot of hardcore fans would, as well.” He adds, “A lot of critics panned it in the ’90s, and now they’re calling it one of the best records of the ’90s, because it did push a lot of boundaries sonically and in the approach to that power-pop style of rock ’n’ roll, and they haven’t done anything like it since. It holds a special place for a lot of us because of how different it was at the time.” For the tribute show, which will feature

performances from both “Pinkerton” and “The Blue Album,” Kriese assembled a group of Upstate musicians who don’t typically share the stage, including bassist Wes Gilliam from punk band The Indoor Kids, singer/guitarist Darby Wilcox and drummer Brandon Gallagher. “I wanted to really get people involved from different genres from punk to metal to acoustic music,” he says. “There are all these people of different genres who love this band. But I also wanted to promote a lot more unity on the Greenville music scene. I think in the past it’s been kind of clique-y, and I’m not saying it’s intentional, but I wanted to paint a bigger picture of the music scene as a whole, and maybe people will start seeing it that way.” Vincent Harris covers music and sports for The Greenville Journal.

HOME See You in the Garden
with Kathy Slayter
A rich spirit is in the soil at Nicholtown Community Garden Sometimes you have to look beyond something to really see it. A waist-high cluster of rosemary surrounds a fire hydrant on a busy street corner. A corner of brick pavers embossed with donors’ names introduces you to longtime residents. A back border is marked by a row of mature fruit trees. All that remains of this garden’s harvest are a row of dried okra, parched pole beans and a field of melons drying up in the record heat. The rest of the garden is tilled and lays at rest, preparing to restore itself for next spring, reminding me that as I come to the end of my season I need to do the same. This is the Nicholtown Community Garden. I visited the garden recently while on the hunt for an access point to the Swamp Rabbit Trail through this old and established neighborhood bordering Cleveland Park, which is experiencing a real estate renaissance. Originally a segregated community, Nicholtown has a rich and fabled history. Some of the children who grew up there are now elders in the community participating
with wondrous community spirit to keep the neighborhood and its character strong. The Nicholtown Community Garden began in 2010 with a grant the city received from Pepsi, along with help from St. Phillips Episcopal Church and the Nicholtown Neighborhood Association (NNA), dedicated to encouraging the residents to help themselves by growing food to feed their families. The NNA funds the seeds and plants for the garden, which is managed by various residents and church groups in the area. The City of Greenville provides some services. According to its website, the garden has fed as many as 150 families each year of its existence. Thousands of pounds of food have been grown within this 8,000 square feet over the years. Every place has its own voice and its own pattern. This neighborhood has a deep spirit that can be felt as you stand amidst this garden. I can’t encourage you enough to find the voice, the pattern and the spirit in your own garden.

A cluster of rosemary surrounds a fire hydrant at the Nicholtown Community Garden.
Get ready for the frost I have begun to walk around my property and its familiar paths to gather up the remnants of sprinkler heads, pots, tools and other various items. It’s funny how we seem to spread out in the summer. The cool weather can sneak up on us, and I want to be ready. Clay pots do not like the cold weather, so they should be brought in before the first frost of Oct. 21. Otherwise, the water that soaks into the clay can freeze and crack the pot. Your hand tools – hoes, spades, clippers – can all be sharpened and wooden handles sanded and oiled. Find time to spend an afternoon organizing the shed or the garden section of your garage. It will make you feel like you have really accomplished something. I always sort through my tools, assess my fertilizers and amendments, label and begin to put away the things of the summer garden. I know the cooler weather is coming. Watch for the spider lilies to pop up if you have them in the garden as well as the last hooray for the dahlias. Container gardens are on display at

Bulb catalogs should be appearing in your mailbox this month. If you aren’t getting any, then go noodle around on the internet and find some bulb catalogs. They are a joy to browse through and order from. You can begin early plantings of narcissus, daffodils and paperwhites this month if you want to really push it. But as always, have the vision of how you want this to look before you go planting the bulbs anywhere. Clusters are best; always place them where you can see them from inside the home. Most of the time tulips don’t return year after year here, but if you can afford them they are an absolute treasure in the spring garden. And they make great gifts for fall. I know we are all ready to let go of this hot summer and embrace fall. Every spot has its own voice, a particular angle of sun, a breath of wind unique to itself, a shadow, a presence. Notice where the sun is coming up on your land, and where it fades red in the west at night. Be mindful of the subtle changes occurring in your garden, in your space, in your own life as you prepare for the shift to fall. These things are why we garden.

If you have not fertilized the lawn (read the labels depending on the type of grass you have), there is still time, but be sure to water it well if it does not rain the next day. I always wait to lay down my fresh mulch until after the leaves are down off the trees. The purpose of mulching is to add organic materials to the soil, to protect roots from possible freeze damage and to tidy up the look of the shrub beds. This is absolutely the best time to plant trees and shrubs, so do that soon. The warm soil and cool air help the plants get established before winter and then the roots grow under the soil, making them stronger for the following summer season. Visit your local nurseries now for wonderful ideas on what to plant. Think foliage and texture on your shrubs.

Prowl the Den with Allen Tate and the Carolina Panthers Win an Insider’s Tour of Bank of America Stadium
You watch them every week – maybe from the sidelines or maybe from your living room – but most Carolina Panthers fans have never experienced the excitement of seeing what goes on behind the scenes of their favorite pro football team. But Allen Tate Realtors®, an Official Partner of the Carolina Panthers, can make your football fantasy come true. For the fourth year, Allen Tate is sponsoring its Prowl the Den Contest, where you can win an insider’s tour of the Panthers’ home at Bank of America Stadium. On October 22, 25 lucky winners will participate in a guided, open house tour of the Panthers’ facilities. Each winner may bring three additional family members or friends and will begin their tour with a tailgate party with food, beverages and games. The tour will take the winners and their guests to areas throughout the stadium not open to the general public, including the Panthers’ locker room, PantherVision studio, Bank of America Stadium’s kitchen, the famous Gridiron Club and more. You just never know who you might see hanging around “the house.” At the end of the tour, one of the 25 tour winners will win a Grand Prize – four suite tickets and four field passes for the November 13, 2016 home game vs. Kansas City and four replica Carolina Panthers jerseys. Tour winners must be present to win the Grand Prize. To enter, register at contest.allentate.com or contact an Allen Tate Realtor®, or stop by any Allen Tate sales office. No purchase is necessary. Contest is open to North and South Carolina residents age 18 or over at the time of entry, with a valid email address. Winners may bring guests age 5 and older. Limit one entry per person. Official rules may be found on the contest registration page. Contest ends at 11:59 p.m. on October 11, 2016. Tour winners will be notified on or before October 15, 2016. “Each year, our Prowl the Den contest attracts more people. In 2015, more than 15,000 entered the contest. Prowl the Den is a great way to celebrate Allen Tate’s decade-long partnership with the Carolina Panthers and their fans,” said Pat Riley, president and CEO Allen Tate Companies.

He thought we needed to be a little more raw, give people a taste of the live show. That’s what we were all working towards on this one.” For Mike and his brother Nate, who plays trombone for the band, working with LIGHT GREEN(who’s played and recorded with Chicago, Blood, Sweat & Tears and Don Henley) Jankowski R=147 G=204 B=66 felt like working with family. “Steve is our dad’s best friend from college,” Reit says. “So he made us feel super comfortable.

Stereo Reform Smiley’s Acoustic Café 111 Augusta St. 10 p.m. FREE Stereo Reform is a dance-funk band, so Smiley’s Acoustic Café might not sound like the best fit for them. But as bandleader, bassist and keyboard player Neil Turner tells it, it’s one of their favorite places to play. “It’s a low-stress treat,” he says. “The owner has always been really good to us; I admire him and we have a good relationship. Back a couple of years ago, when our album ‘The Future Started Yesterday’ came out, we established a residency at Smiley’s on the first Friday of every month for a year. And by the end of that, there would be a line out the door. It was tons of fun; we could expand songs a little, we didn’t bring the full lighting setup, it’s probably the most low-stress gig we played.” Stereo Reform returns to Smiley’s with a new single, “Kids Like Us,” that represents a shift in the band’s sound. “This time it’s taken a turn more towards synth-dance sound of the ’80s and less of the funk-rock thing we had before,” Turner says. “There’s a heavy ’80s vibe.”

The Classroom Window with Trevor Barton
What do you want your students to know? Kyle Schwartz is a third-grade teacher at a public school in Denver. She loves to teach poetry to her students. You might even say her life itself is a poem for them because of the ways she cares for them. Last year she wanted to get to know them on the first days of school, so she gave each of them a yellow sticky note and asked them to complete the sentence “I wish my teacher knew…” The answers were sometimes humorous, sometimes heartbreaking and always honest. Schwartz shared their responses on Twitter with #iwishmyteacherknew and readers marveled at the simplicity and complexity of their words. Her project helped us remember that our children are more than grades, more than reading levels and more than numbers on standardized tests. They are human beings with feet of clay, not iron; with hearts of flesh, not stone; and with minds of hope and imagination, not computer chips. They’re not gang-bangers to be arrested, illegal aliens to be deported, problems to be solved, diseases to be cured or trash to be thrown away. They are human beings. I loved her project and decided to follow in her footsteps. So at the beginning of this school year, I gave my fourth-graders a sheet of copy paper with #iwishmyteacherknew across the top and said, “Write and draw something about yourselves that you want me to know about you.” And my students showed me their humanity. Here are some of their responses and my comments to them. “I wish my teacher knew that he is the best teacher.” Ha ha. I hope you feel the same way about me on Day 180 of school as on Day One! “I wish my teacher knew that I have to do chores from the time I get home until I go to bed.” Nice try, pal. You still have to do your math homework and read for 20 minutes each day. “I wish my teacher knew that my Dad he is in jail and he got in jail when I haved 3 years and now I have not seen him in 7 years.” Sweet child, as a part of your drawing you made a poster of MLK’s “I Have A Dream” speech. How can I help keep your dreams alive while you’re carrying this sadness inside of you? I’ll try my best!
“I wish my teacher knew that I can’t have a fish because a cat gets in the house and eats the fish! That happened when I lived at my old house. So because of that I can’t have a fish!” You have such an honest voice. Remember when you were sleepy yesterday, and I asked you if you went to bed early enough, and you answered me that your mom is sick and you have to wake up through the night to take care of her? Thanks for being real. It’s all about being real. I wonder… What if I as a teacher finish the statement “I wish my students knew…”? Let me try. “I wish my students knew that my favorite Latin phrase is ‘esse quam videri,’ which means ‘to be, rather than to seem.’ To be is more important than to appear to be, the essence is more important than the video, the voice is more important than the Auto-Tune and you are more important than anyone’s opinion of you. I see you. I believe in you. I care about you.” What about you? If you use Twitter, would you do a favor for me? Mention me @teachandwrite and use #iwishmystudentsknew and finish the sentence “I wish my students knew…” Maybe you are a teacher with students in your classroom. Maybe you are a mom who sends your children to school each day. Maybe you are a grandpa who listens to the stories of your grandchildren when they get home. Maybe you are someone who hopes to say something to our students who wake up each morning and go courageously to school to learn to make a better world for themselves and for all of us. What would you like to say to them? How would you like to be a poem for them? I’d like to know. I think they’d like to know, too. Trevor Barton is a reading intervention teacher at Berea Elementary School. He believes we all have stories to tell and loves to listen.
