National Trust for Historic Preservation celebrating history of Rosenwald Schools; five documented in Polk Editor’s note: The following article was submitted by Mae Carolyn Jackson Williams. She is the daughter of Della H. Jackson and attended Edmund Embury School and Union Grove School in Polk County, both of which have been identified as Rosenwald Schools. She now works with a committee that planned the renovation of the Ridgeley School, a Rosenwald School in Capitol Heights, Md. Between 1912 and 1932, many schools were built for African-American students throughout the south, including Polk County, with financial help from the Rosenwald Fund. The money in the Rosenwald Fund was donated by Julius Rosenwald, a former president of Sears, Roebuck and Company. (Continued on page 3)

Polk Schools meet federal test targets by Samantha Hurst
All seven Polk County schools met proficiency-testing standards this past school year, according to results released Aug. 2 from the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. Polk County Schools Superintendent Bill Miller said he was happy with the schools’ achievements. “I do hope it helps people see that
our schools continue to perform incredibly well,” Miller said. Schools across the state were evaluated based on three key areas, including the percentage of students proficient in grade-level skills and knowledge; the amount of growth the school’s students achieved in the year and whether the

• Rosenwald (continued from page 1)
The National Trust for Historic Preservation is sponsoring a national initiative to save all existing Rosenwald Schools that have not been demolished and to identify the location of all Rosenwald Schools that have been demolished. Five schools in Polk County have been identified as Rosenwald Schools: Edmund Embury School, Union Grove School, Green Creek School, Pea Ridge School and Coxe School. Booker T. Washington went to Rosenwald in 1912 to ask for money to construct six schools in Alabama. The construction of these schools was such a success that a partnership between Rosenwald and Washington was established for the purpose of building other schools for African-American children.

• Rosenwald (continued from page 3)
From 1912 until 1932, Rosenwald donated money to help construct more than 5,000 schools in 15 southern states for African-American children. A Rosenwald School could range in size from one room to a school with 14 or more rooms. One of the designated plans for a Rosenwald School had to be used when constructing a school. One of the distinguishing features of a Rosenwald School is classrooms with a wall of windows. Rosenwald School museum in Maryland The Ridgeley School, a Rosenwald School in Capitol Heights, Md., is a three-classroom school that was built in 1927 for African-American children who lived in the Ridgeley area of Maryland. In 2005, work began to renovate the school, which is now a museum celebrating the history of Rosenwald Schools. During the planning process, the committee planning the renovation determined how the school would be used and ways to secure funding. The funds were secured before the renovations began. The renovation of the school’s interior and the two acres of land surrounding the building began in 2009 and was completed in 2011. Each classroom now has a different purpose. One classroom is a recreated 1927 classroom with students’ desks and a teacher’s desk from that period.
Another classroom is an exhibit/ meeting room with displays on the wall of activities that are related to the school and tables and chairs for meetings. The third classroom is a conference/ reading/reception room with a conference table and chairs, bookcases with books and a kitchenette. An industrial arts/ home economics area is located in a space between two of the classrooms. The land surrounding the school is now landscaped with grass, shrubbery and a parking lot for visitors. The newly renovated Ridgeley Rosenwald School is operated by the Prince George’s County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. in partnership with the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission. It is open for tours, which are guided by volunteers from the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. Rosenwald School Conference held in June In June, a Rosenwald School Conference celebrating the existence of Rosenwald Schools for 100 was held at Tuskegee University in Tuskegee, Ala. The conference was sponsored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Attendees at the conference learned about many Rosenwald Schools that are being saved through renovation. This information was provided through workshops, speakers, film documentaries, tours, poster presentations and discussions. – article submitted by Mae Carolyn Jackson Williams

Landrum Antiques sells old magazines to benefit charities by Ashley Brewington
Antiques are timeless but at Landrum Antiques they are not the only things being sold. Landrum Antiques and Furniture recently started collecting money for charity in an interesting way. Owner Kim Karaman said the antique store is collecting old magazines dealing with furniture, design, gardens and home décor. The magazines will be sold for $1 a piece,

proves from the end of a year is important to every child and every family, Miller said. “What the state is trying to say is that it’s critical that as many students as possible are performing at grade level, but
with the entire amount going to one of three charities of the buyer’s choice. “Whatever we can raise will be great,” Karaman said, “even if we have to send the charities a small check every month.” Magazines contain timeless information, Karaman said, and Landrum Antiques plans to recycle and resell those maga-
zines to raise money for organizations like Steps to Hope, Thermal Belt Outreach and Foothills Humane Society. Steps to Hope Director Rachel Ramsey said any donations received will benefit the organization’s various programs. “It’s wonderful when people do these things for us,” Ramsey said. “It shows how caring our
community really is.” Karaman said the idea started because a woman came into the store and asked if they took in old magazines. “I thought, ‘Well, why not?’” Karaman said. “An organization brought its donation can in and we decided to give the money back to the community through the resold magazines.” Landrum Antiques is located in the center of downtown Landrum.
it’s also important that a large number of students, whether they were performing below grade level, at grade level or above grade level, achieve a year’s worth of growth,” Miller said. “A really high performing school could say it’s not easy to do that every year if 98 percent of your students were already
on grade level, but the state is trying to make sure there is a reward there for constant improvement.” Miller said there is a lot of data inside of these scores that would be difficult for the public to understand, but that the schools are using every day to make sure students are perform-
ing on a higher level each year. The ABCs model was enacted in 1996 and expanded with No Child Left Behind in 2002. This is the final year of the ABCs of Public Education accountability program as the state transitions to the READY school accountability model in the 2012-13 school year.

McDowell signs with Coker College by Joey Millwood
Landrum point guard Cole McDowell will take his speed and toughness to the next level. McDowell, who helped the Cardinals reach the upper state finals last season, will continue his basketball career at Coker College. The Landrum point guard was already committed to attending Coker, located in Hartsville, S.C., but it was purely an academic decision as it appeared basketball was in his past. With some determination, however, the sport he loves is no longer in his rearview. His family and coaches gathered Aug. 2 as he made the announcement that he’d be playing basketball for the Cobras. “It makes it even more exciting,” he said. “It’s just a bless-
ing.” Landrum Coach Lyn Smith said McDowell’s desire to continue fighting to be able to play basketball at the next level is just a tribute to his character. “His strength is his drive to be the best that he can possibly be,” Smith said. “He just works hard. He’s going to get down there and work hard.” McDowell had a conversation by phone with Coker College’s Coach Dan Schmotzer and a tryout was set up. “I’m just thankful to be able to play on the next level,” he said. For the Cardinals, McDowell was the spark plug. The point guard was quick down the court in Landrum’s up-tempo style of play. He wasn’t afraid to shoot a 3-pointer or drive to the basket. The Cardinals played for the Up-

per State championship this year, but fell just short of reaching the finals. McDowell is the second Cardinal basketball player to sign and play at the next level this year. Cardinal center Alex Bry-
ant will play close by in Francis Marion. “I’m glad he’s getting the opportunity,” Smith said. “He’s a good basketball player. It’ll be good to see him develop at the next level.”

Spartanburg Little Theatre announces 2012 - 13 season Season opens with ‘The King and I’ The Spartanburg Little Theatre recently announced its upcoming 2012-13 season. The season opens Sept. 7-16 with the classic musical “The King and I,” which tells the story of Anna, a British governess brought into the court of Siam to tutor the king’s many children. This love story includes many popular songs by Rodgers and Hammerstein, including “Getting to Know You” and “Shall We Dance.” “Moonlight and Magnolias” will take the stage Nov. 2-11. A comedy that illuminates the behind-the-scenes business of
Hollywood movie making in the 1930s and 40s, this production focuses on a famed Hollywood producer’s solution to problems with the script for his latest historical epic, “Gone with the Wind.” The popular musical “Chicago” starts out the new year, with performances Jan. 11-20, 2013. Set in 1920s Chicago, the show tells the story of chorus girl Roxie Hart, who murders a faithless lover and winds up on death row. She joins forces with Velma Kelly, another merry murderess, and the two vie for the spotlight and the headlines in search of the American dream: fame, fortune and acquittal. “Chicago” features numerous well-known songs, such
as “When You’re Good to Mama,” “Cell Block Tango” and “Razzle Dazzle.” “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” is next in the season, March 8-17, 2013. This musical tells the Biblical saga of Joseph and his coat of many colors. Joseph, his father’s favorite son, is a boy blessed with prophetic dreams. When he is sold into slavery by his jealous brothers and taken to Egypt, Joseph endures a series of adventures in which his spirit and humanity are continually challenged. The season winds up May 3-12, 2013 with one of the iconic masterpieces of American theater, “A Streetcar Named Desire.” Ten-
nessee Williams’ famous play follows the fading but still attractive southern belle Blanche Du Bois as she arrives unexpectedly on the doorstep of her sister, Stella, and her brother-in-law, Stanley Kowalski. Over the course of one hot, sultry New Orleans summer, Blanche’s fragile facade slowly crumbles as she meets her match in the rough-hewn, brutish and sensual Stanley, who sees through her and is determined to expose her. Call the Spartanburg Little Theatre at 864-585-8278 for more information or to order season tickets. - article submitted by Jay E. Coffman

Cover up…
Well-known painter and sculptor Rick Conn has been selected to judge the works submitted for the 14th Regional Juried Art Show sponsored by Tryon Painters and Sculptors (TPS). Conn was recently invited to show at the West Main Artist Coop annual invitational in Spartanburg. The juried show is TPS’ most competitive and prestigious art show and will take place at the TPS gallery from Sept. 29 – Nov. 10. Show organizers Sandy Sibley and Christine Mariotti said extensive marketing and advertising will bring in a collection of serious entries that will be narrowed down to the “best of the best,” which will make up the show. They said outstanding entries will be rewarded with more than $1,500 of prizes, and many works in the show will represent areas surrounding Tryon as well as out of state. Artists who would like to submit works for this juried show can download information and a prospectus from the TPS website at www.tryonpaintersandsculptors.com or pick them up at the gallery at 26 Maple Street in Tryon. The opening reception for the show will take place Friday, Sept. 29 from 5-8 p.m. Awards will be announced at 6 p.m. - article submitted by Pauline Ross
