AILSA CHANG, HOST:
Time now for "My Unsung Hero," our series from the team at Hidden Brain. "My Unsung Hero" tells the stories of people whose kindness left a lasting impression on someone else. And today's story comes from Lilah Clevey. One gray winter morning in 2012, Lilah started the trek from her boyfriend's house in Ann Arbor, Mich., back to her college - about an hour away. At the beginning of the drive, she stopped to get coffee and to gas up her car.
LILAH CLEVEY: And I went to pull out of the gas station. And because it was so gray, I thought I had looked. And I did not look well, and I slammed into another car. I completely T-boned it. The car was a silver gray, so I like to think it blended into the skyline, but I also know a lot of it was also me. I was not being careful about it. I was young. I felt invincible. I know that I blacked out for 10 or 20 seconds, and then I came to. My glasses had flown off, but that I actually didn't even realize for a half hour because I was so in the zone. I had such high adrenaline.
So after I came to, I got out of the car. The car I hit was, like, 30 feet away. I walked over, and I was really freaked out because her entire driver's side was slammed in. This was immediately terrifying because I knew someone was sitting there, and that meant someone was probably hurt. But the driver is standing next to the car, and she looks OK when I first look at her. And she seems more concerned about me because I'm crying like a baby because I was 19. This was such a scary thing that had happened, and I was the one who did it. So, you know, in some ways, I should have been responsible - and I was very apologetic - but I was also just, like, a baby in that moment.
And this woman, this angel, instead of yelling at me, thinking I was entitled, thinking I was reckless, she held me. She mothered me in that moment, which I really needed. And I asked if she was OK 'cause I could not believe she could be OK, and she said she was. So of course I asked again because how could I slam into her driver's side and her be OK? And she told me that she has a metal arm. And so this metal arm protected her from the blow. That felt wild to me and so lucky that the woman I happened to slam into - her arm - happened to have a prosthetic arm that was a shield that protected her.

CLEVEY: If she was standing in front of me today, I would just tell her I appreciate people like her and that I wish there was more people like that in the world that see people for the good in them and not the mistakes they're making, especially when they're young and just trying to learn.
CHANG: That was Lilah Clevey of Petoskey, Mich. You can find more stories like this on the "My Unsung Hero" podcast.

When he was 7, a tiny gesture from his grandmother changed his relationship to god.

Shalom Auslander says non-kosher gum helped with his personal evolution. Shalom Auslander hide caption
This story is part of the My Unsung Hero series, from the Hidden Brain team. It features stories of people whose kindness left a lasting impression on someone else.
Shalom Auslander grew up in a strict Orthodox Jewish family, where he was taught to obey all the rules of Jewish written law. If you failed to do so, he was told, you'd be punished in the afterlife.
“It was like growing up in a town run by Tony Soprano,” Auslander said, referring to the fictional mobster. “You did not break the rules that Tony set. Because maybe he'll be OK with it, but more than likely, you're gonna get some broken legs.”
When Auslander was young, he and his mom used to go to his grandmother’s house to visit. As soon as he got there, his grandmother would quietly slip him a forbidden, non-kosher treat: Chiclets, the small, square pieces of gum.
One day, when he was around 7, his mother happened to see their secret exchange.
“And she got angry, and she's like, ‘Ma, what are you doing? You can't give him those, they're not kosher,’” Auslander said. “Eating non-kosher is a big deal in the world that I come from.”
His mother took away the gum, and that appeared to be the end of it. But the next time they went back, when his mother wasn’t looking, his grandmother pulled him aside.
“She looked at me, and she put her finger over her lips and like sort of motioned me into her bedroom, which was right off the kitchen. And she pulls out a box of Chiclets, and she pours a couple in my hand,” Auslander recalled. “And says, ‘Shhh, don't tell anybody. It's just gum.’”
For the 7-year-old Auslander, that tiny act of defiance, by a matriarch of the family, felt like a revelation.
"It was this sort of like crack in the wall of the prison for me,” Auslander said. “Because here was this somebody who knew what she was doing, but felt that in a way, happiness was more important than keeping kosher — than God himself.”
Today, Auslander is a writer, known for books and essays that grapple with his religious upbringing, including Foreskin’s Lament: A Memoir and his new book, Feh: A memoir . When he looks back on his evolution, and his decades-long attempt to create a new story about the role of religion in his life, he sees that moment with his grandmother as a certain beginning.
"It opened up my mind to the possibility that maybe there were things that were more important in the world than keeping the strict letter of God's law,” Auslander said.
“And maybe that thing was happiness, and maybe it was love, and maybe it was family ... And I think that I’ve ever since been on a mission to live that way."

Editor’s Note: This is the first in a series of stories highlighting unsung heroes on the local high school sports scene … not necessarily the biggest star, but a player whose presence inspires her team and elevates the play of all those around her.
HONESDALE — Gillian Goldstein began playing organized basketball in seventh grade as a member of Honesdale’s junior high girls team.
From the very start, it was evident that she wasn’t destined to be the high scorer or top rebounder very often. However, it didn’t take long for Ron Rowe to see something special her.
“Gillian is one of the nicest, sweetest young ladies you’ll ever meet,” the Hall of Fame coach said. “But, then she steps on the court and there is a change.”
And what a change.

A multi-sport standout who also excels on the soccer pitch, Goldstein is a fierce competitor with a tireless work ethic.
“Gillian just does not back down,” Rowe said. “She rebounds, plays defense, dives on the floor, ties up opponents for jump balls and gets five second calls.”
On most nights, the senior co-captain isn’t included among Honesdale’s starting five. However, Goldstein is first off the bench and always provides a burst of energy that fires up the crowd.
“I enjoy playing defense and bringing intensity to the game when I am in,” Goldstein said. “My role is to be a dependable player who puts my full effort into the game.”
Versatility is one of Goldstein’s calling cards, seeing time at both guard spots and small forward. She’s only scored 13 points so far this season, but plays hard-nosed defense and is relentless on the boards.
“Gillian really understands her role and she’s thrived this season,” Rowe said. “She contributes in so many ways, hitting several big shots to keep us in games and assisting on many others.”
Goldstein is the daughter of Eric and Alana Goldstein, of Tyler Hill.
She’s a fixture on the honor roll and serves as treasurer for the National Honor Society. In addition, she’s president of the Tri-Gal 4H Club, vice president of the Future Farmers of America and a member of the National Agricultural Issue Forum team.
Her plans after graduation include attending college on a pre-med track. She hopes one day to earn her doctorate and become an OB-GYN.
At the moment, though, Goldstein is laser-focused on doing whatever she can to help Honesdale on the hardwood.
“I love being a part of this team,” Goldstein said. “I have really enjoyed my time as a Lady Hornet and playing alongside my sister.”
The Red & Black are 8-13 on the season and seeded eighth among Class 5A teams. They’ll likely face top-rated Scranton in the opening round of this year’s District 2 tournament.
It’s a matchup that Goldstein is looking forward to.
“I’m definitely optimistic about the playoffs,” Gillian said. “Scranton is a very beatable team.
“We’ve faced a lot of adversity this year and really come together. I think we definitely have good chemistry. Every one of us contributes something.”
On paper, a Honesdale victory over Scranton would be an upset. The two teams met back on Jan. 17 with the Knights posting a lopsided win.
Nevertheless, Rowe believes that if Goldstein has anything to say about it, Scranton will have its hands full.
“At times it almost seems out of character seeing Gillian’s aggressiveness on the court,” he said. “Have you ever heard the phrase ‘Still waters run deep?’ Well, it really kind of sums her up.
“Gillian just comes ready to give the team everything she has. And she always does.”
For her part, Goldstein is grateful for the opportunity to play and to be a vital part of her team.
"I would like to thank coach Rowe for always believing in me," Gillian said. "Thank you to my parents for being at every game. Thank you to my sister, Natalie, and to my teammates."

I try to go see and support almost every movie that gets released in my local theater. While this leads to seeing quite a few duds, most importantly, it leads to some really lovely surprises. This led to me seeing the faith-based music drama Unsung Hero, which is directed by Richard Ramsey and Joel Smallbone. I’m clearly not the target audience for it as I’m not a country music fan, nor am I remarkably religious, and yet I still was quite moved by a film that most of all speaks to the good of human nature and what can happen when a community comes together rather than is divided.
“Based on a remarkable true story, Unsung Hero follows Helen (Daisy Betts) and her husband David Smallbone (For King & Country’s Joel Smallbone) as they move their family from Down Under to the States with nothing more than their seven children, suitcases, and their love of music. As Helen and David set out to rebuild their lives, they begin to realize the musical prowess in their children, who would go on to become two of the most successful acts in inspirational music history: five-time Grammy Award-winning artists For King & Country and Rebecca St. James,” says the synopsis for the movie .
While the allure of the film for many is likely to see the childhood of Rebecca St. James and the two For King & Country members depicted, the focus of Unsung Hero is on their mother, Helen Smallbone. An incredible woman who raised seven children, Helen (played wonderfully by Daisy Betts) really serves as the backbone of the family as her husband, David, pursues his dreams of running a music company in America. It’s a portrait of a selfless woman that only wanted the best for her children and we see her patience and kindness on display here.
Co-director Joel Smallbone plays his father in the film, and we see a very caring man whose career pursuits wind up putting his family in rough circumstances. Credit where it’s due as Smallbone shows the positive and negative sides of his father, as his pride sometimes led him to grow anxious and negative towards the support that the family received from the local church. The film mostly focuses on the Smallbone family’s struggles, with the last act showing the beginning of their daughter’s music career, and it ends with a really lovely music performance. It’s a film filled with heart, and it really shows as it’s quite a charming picture.
The home release is filled with just as much heart, thankfully, as it features a bunch of special features . The two biggest ones are an audio commentary track (featuring producers Joshua Walsh and Luke Smallbone, plus co-directors and co-writers Joel Smallbone and Richard Ramsey) and a 54-minute making-of documentary called Miracles Are Everywhere. The commentary track is especially neat, as it’s great getting to hear the two Smallbone brothers discuss seeing their childhood recreated on film, while the documentary is hosted by Luke and chronicles the production.
There are three other smaller videos included, as well. Compassion is a three-minute featurette that features Luke Smallbone and Rebecca St. James talking about the organization Compassion International, which is helping end child poverty. I can’t think of a more noble cause than that, so it’s nice to see on the disc. Additionally, there’s a six-minute video titled Faith in the Journey, which features the family talking about the faith element in the movie and how important that was to them growing up. Finally, there’s an animated religious short called The Bridge Is Out by Greg Laurie. To be honest, I’m not really sure why it is there other than the religious subtext. Kids might get a kick out of it, at least.
Whether you’re religious or not, there’s a great message and story to be found in Unsung Hero. It’s a story of kindness and compassion, something we can all think about and act upon after watching. The Unsung Hero Blu-ray features a nice bevvy of bonus features, including a great commentary track and a making-of documentary, so it’s an easy recommendation to fans of the artists or anyone looking for an uplifting true story.
