Donna Williams feeds

Peggy Baxter created a community garden in the Williams Sterling community.

Jimi Turner gives parents Christmas presents to be sure the children have something wrapped under the tree.

Those are some of the volunteer activities for the Greenville residents who are being honored as Heroes Next Door by Greenville Forward.

“There are a lot of award programs that are in Greenville. We wanted to create something different for those who may be flying a bit below the radar,” said Russell Stall, executive director of Greenville Forward.

Kate Hofler, marketing and communications director of Greenville Forward, said all of the recipients believe doing something for the community is easy.

“Just think of one thing that you can do to improve your community and do it. As one of our winners mentioned; it just starts with a smile,” Hofler said.

Williams saw particular needs at Southside High School and stepped in to fill them.

One of these needs that she noticed was that the junior varsity football team was not being fed

In addition, Williams substitutes without pay.

“Donna loves these children.

She probably volunteers at Southside as a full time job,” said Hofler.

Baxter grew up in Greenville Baxter and attended Sterling High School.

“She is being honored for donating property to create a community garden. This literally allowed for this community to plant seeds of change by creating a sense of community,” said Hofler.

Baxter also organized Seniors on the Go, a program that provides homebound senior citizens in her community with the opportunity to exercise, socialize and attend cultural events.

“He developed a strong network of folks who supported his work.

Now he has a Christmas celebration to provide parents with gifts for their children that they can wrap themselves,” said Hofler.

Williams, Baxter and Turner were honored at a luncheon Friday.

“We hope that this awards ceremony will show people that you don’t have to live in the biggest house or have the most money to make a positive change in people’s lives. Hopefully it will inspire people to make a change in their community” said Stall.

Stone Academy teacher gets teaching’s ‘Oscar’ Fourth-grade teacher Gresham Brown hates school assemblies be-

Turns out his teaching was the reason for the school’s Monday morning assembly.

Principal Ed Holliday called the assembly on the ruse of South Carolina Superintendent Greg Beckner/Staff Jim Rex honoring the school for its test Co-President of the Stone Academy scores.

For Educator Award, dubbed the “Oscars of more photos, see page 59. teaching” by Teacher Magazine. Fifty-five teachers across the country win the award each year.

Brown won $25,000.

When Lowell Milken, chairman and co-founder of the California-based Milken Family Foundation, announced Brown’s name, he stood against the wall of the school’s gymnasium with a blank look on his face.

He had no idea he was under consideration for the award because there is no application.

“This award is not a lifetime achievement award,” Milken told Brown. “There’s no question you’ve distinguished yourself in the profession, but we are convinced you have the potential to accomplish even greater things in the future.”

It’s a run, for life

The real celebrities

Please join us Saturday, Nov. 13 for the third annual Caine Halter Lungs4Life 5K Run/Walk, 1 Mile Fun Walk and Little Lungs Kids Run to help in the fight against lung cancer.

Each year, lung cancer causes more deaths than colon, breast, pancreatic and prostate cancers combined.

Our first two years have generated $294,000.00 in funding for critical lung cancer research around the country.

Here are some things you should know about lung cancer: Lung cancer remains the leading cancer killer in men and women in the United States among every ethnic group, yet still receives the fewest research dollars.

Lung cancer causes one in every three cancer deaths and took 160,000 lives in 2009.

One in five women and one in 12 men diagnosed with lung cancer have never smoked.

This event was started by the family and friends of Caine Halter. A nonsmoker, Caine lost his fight against lung cancer at age 45 leaving behind his beautiful wife and their two beautiful children.

Caine always put his church, family, and friends before himself. He was very active in our community and gave freely of his time to make Greenville a better place. Caine was rock solid, and Greenville suffered a tremendous blow when we lost him. He can never be replaced, but we can work to find a cure so that others can be helped.

The backbone of any event that has become so successful is found in the volunteers that give so selflessly. People come from all walks of life, motivated by various reasons, yet they are all united in the fight against lung cancer.

This year, Jessica Edwards will drive from Charleston and donate her time and talent as this year’s event photographer. Jessica’s father was diagnosed one month ago with lung cancer. He lives in Texas and Jessica has joined our cause in his honor.

Her sister recently participated in a lung cancer walk in their hometown of Fort Worth. Jessica’s husband won’t be able to join us. He is in the Air Force and was deployed overseas

In a celebrity-obsessed culture where shows like “Dancing

in my own words

by Beattie Ashmore Oct. 27. Jessica says that “there are a lot of other people going through a lot more.”

If you are a runner this year, the cups of water handed out during the race will be given to you by Greenville native Kenny Reid and his team of family and friends. Delighted to serve as this year’s head water boy, Kenny works at Coldwell Banker Caine where his office is down the hall from Caine’s old office. Kenny’s office is also located 50 yards from his brother’s former law firm. He lost his brother, Preston, to colon cancer a few years ago. Kenny is “motivated by the presence of Preston and Caine” and says he just wants to do what he can.

Renee` Stribling and her daughter Cierra will join us again this year as volunteers. Renee` is a respiratory therapist at St. Francis Hospital and she has talked some of her co-workers into joining us. As a single mom, Renee` supports many community events as it gives her a chance to spend time with her children in a meaningful way.

Team Stephens has already signed up for their third year as participants/ volunteers. David Stephens is a federal prosecutor in Greenville and had “a bout with lung cancer” years ago. David and his family arrive early to help set up and stay late to help clean up. They do whatever is asked of them with no thoughts of recognition. They are exactly what it takes to make this event work.

Thanks to all the volunteers for making this event such a success.

Spread the word to your family, friends, and co-workers. Sign up online at www. lungs4life5k.com until Nov. 10 and on site at the Caine Halter YMCA through Nov. 12. See you there!

Beattie Ashmore is an attorney in Greenville and is serving again this year as the volunteer coordinator for the Caine Halter Lungs4Life event.

The race is named in honor of his longtime friend and former neighbor, Caine Halter.

with the Stars” and “American Idol” generate large followings, it is important to remember just who the real stars of America are.

Veterans Day is a time to honor not just the heroes, but, in fact, all of the outstanding men and women serving or who have served in our nation’s armed forces since our founding more than 234 years ago. From Valley Forge to Baghdad, the veteran of the US military has stood in the gap.

President Calvin Coolidge was known as “silent Cal” because he didn’t say very much, but he was positively profound when he said, “The nation which forgets it defenders will be itself forgotten”.

Not all veterans have seen war, including myself. I served at the beginning of the Vietnam War and during the Cuban Missile crisis. We do share a common bond and that is the oath we expressed in our willingness to die defending this great nation.

America has produced many heroes. Greenville’s own, Major Rudolph Anderson, climbed aboard his U-2 Spy Plane and flew over Cuba, photographing Russian Missiles on our door step. It was to be his last mission.

His plane was shot down by the Cubans and he paid the ultimate sacrifice.

The valor that defined warriors from previous generations continues today.

Thousands of people lined the streets of Fitzgerald, Ga., on Oct. 6 to pay tribute to Sr. Airman Michael Buras.

A member of an Air Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team, he paid the supreme sacrifice on Sept. 21 in Kandahar, Afghanistan. He died at the age of 23 because of wounds inflicted by an IED. He leaves behind a wife and one-year-old daughter.

We must be there to support not just the families of the fallen but also the loved ones of those still deployed and those who return permanently changed by the wounds of war.

When an American Legion Auxiliary

in my own words by john collins member asks for a donation for a poppy, remember the Korean War vet in a hospital bed.

Do not underestimate the power of simply saying “thank you” to veterans you encounter.

While the military is stretched thin, the burden is shared by both men and women.

Women are major contributors to our military in Iraq and Afghanistan and many have given their lives in the War on Terrorism. We must recognize the unique needs of our women veterans. America is home to 1.2 million women veterans and they deserve our support.

It is tragic that men and women who allow us to be safe in our homes are often without homes themselves.

Twenty-three percent of America’s homeless population are veterans.

Of these, 89 percent were honorably discharged and 47 percent served during the Vietnam War. Whether its welcoming veterans home from deployment of volunteering at the local VA hospital, there is no shortage of opportunities to assist those who have given so much for our freedom and their country.

Our country has been blessed throughout history, to have had men and women who have stood up and said “we will serve,” while others choose to ignore the call.

God Bless our veterans and God bless the U.S.A. Jo h n C o l l i n s i s th e C o mman de r o f Po st 3 o f th e A me ri can Le gi o n i n Greenville and Fourth Vice Commander of the Dept. of S.C. of the American Legion.

I am neither a tea party person nor all white, but I must defend both groups against what was written in the Journal. Staff writer Charles Sowell commented that tea party members are characterized by anger at the loss of their nation to a “non-native, non-white president.”

President Obama is a half-white man born in Hawaii, USA. Ignoring the probability that a group of a thousand angry people will have somebody who says something offensive, the implication that tea partiers are racist is inaccurate and unrelated to the issue.

The issue behind people’s anger toward DC is that we face taxation without representation.

The USA has $14 trillion in debt, a dependency on China for funding, zombie agencies being fed money directly from Treasury, a Federal Reserve that is determined to devalue, and a counterproductive health care law that was only partially related to health care.

Federal courts randomly and capriciously legislate from the bench. Our Commander-inChief travels the globe humbling America, while Abamenidjad builds a nuclear arsenal.

Giant corporations get bailouts correlated to how much Congressmen receive in donations.

Instead of merging departments, pushing programs to a lower level, or reducing federal regulation, DC has hired thousands of six-figure bureaucrats and fudges the CPI and labor numbers to hide true problems.

There is much to be angry about, and tea party groups are justified in pushing back.

If President Obama were as anti-imperialist as he claims, then he would reduce federal interference on his own subjects. If Congress cared about jobs, then they would fix tax code that encourages job exportation.

Instead, they added byzantine reporting regulations, are pondering a horrific VAT tax, and deflect disagreement by calling it bigotry.

Congressional representation is an oxymoron. We are taxed for the benefit of the politicians, not the common good. There is nothing insular or bigoted about fighting against oppression. It’s how this nation was started, and it’s how we will be renewed.

MAC goes mobile for Open Studios by cindy landrum | Staff

With a record number of artists participating in this weekend’s Greenville Open Studios and two days in which to visit them, planning will be key for Piedmont’s Stacy Miller.

And there’s an app to help her do that.

Miller, an art lover who has lived in the Upstate just a few weeks, plans to visit as many as a dozen of the 142 participating artists on Saturday and another half dozen on Sunday, and she’ll use a new app to help her decide which artists she wants to see and the route she’ll use to get there.

The app – available at www.greenvilleopenstudios.com - allows people to access information on participating artists by name, medium and location, create a list of studios to visit and plan a travel route using Google Maps and GPS technology.

“It’s so convenient,” she said. “I use my smart phone for a lot of things I used to have to do on my computer at home.”

Morgan Stanley’s 2010 report on Internet trends predicts mobile Web usage will surpass desktop computer Web usage by 2014. There were 1 billion desktop computers being used in 2000, according to the report. By 2014, the company predicts there will be about 10 billion mobile units – from laptops to iPads to smart phones – being used.

“I’d be shocked if it did not happen

before that,” said Matt McFadden, director of sales and marketing for Merge, the Greenville web development company that created the Open Studios app.

And an increasing number of businesses are turning to apps – or application programs that launch specific tasks, activities or services – to connect with that mobile audience.

Apps are used for a wide range of activities –ordering a pizza from a chain restaurant on the way home, allowing a company’s sales person to check inventory and place an order from anywhere they can get cell phone service.

“More people are on the road. The world’s getting bigger,” said Suzy Harvey, an account supervisor at Merge. “You can’t just stay at your desk any more.”

It is predicted the number of apps downloaded will jump from 7 billion in 2009 to nearly 50 billion in 2012, according to a study commissioned by the mobile app store GetJar Networks of San Manteo, Calif.

The average smart phone user has 27 apps on their phone, according to Neilsen Co. Users of the iPhone average 40 apps, while Android users have 27 and Blackberry users 14, Nielsen said.

There are two types of apps – Web apps, which can be accessed on any computer or smart phone, and mobile device apps, which may be accessed only on a specific smart phone platform.

If somebody writes an app for an iPhone, it must be tested and approved by Apple, a process that can take anywhere from two days to two months, Harvey said.

The Open Studios app is a Web app, although Merge does plan to develop smart phone apps during the next year, Harvey said. Android and Blackberry require similar approval for apps used on their devices.

“Open Studios have a specific date they wanted to go live,” she said.

“We wanted to guarantee it would be available.”

Brad Garrett, who develops apps for Merge, said smart phones are now where the Web was when it first started.

“When we started with the Web, there was AOL, Prodigy and CompuServe and they each had their own platform,” he said. “Now with mobile devices, we’re right back in that divided phase. But as devices get faster, we’ll eventually have a universal platform for smart phones as well.”

Apps can be geared toward a business’ customers or its employees.

“It comes down to what problem a business is having because all businesses have them,” McFadden said. “We can figure out the problem and build a solution. Some apps are really fun, some are super secret that aren’t much fun but the business loves them.”

Having an app also gives the perception that a business is hightech, Harvey said.

“They’re everywhere. They’re viral,” she said.

Four ‘Yes’ votes by tenell felder | Staff

Each of the amendments

presented to South Carolina voters was approved with at least 70 percent voting in favor of the additions to the state constitution.

Amendment 1, The South Carolina Hunting and Fishing Amendment, passed with approximately 89 percent.

This amendment will legally preserve the rights of citizens to fish and hunt in South Carolina. The passage of this amendment is seen as a preventative measure against possible future encroachments by interest groups, such as gun control and animal rights groups, who may target hunting in the state.

Amendment 2, the South Carolina Secret Union Voting Amendment, was passed with 86 percent voting in favor of the amendment. Furman political science professor Dr. Glen Halva-Neubauer said this was the most politically charged amendment.

Leading up to the election, the state’s Republican Party publicly supported the measure saying it would allow for workers to vote without external pressures from a union.

The Democratic Party adamantly opposed it, saying it was an “antiunion” amendment that would make it increasingly difficult for workers to form unions. Because the amendment passed, South Carolina employees are guaranteed as a constitutional right the right to vote by secret ballot.

The passage of Amendments 3&4, the South Carolina Rainy Day Fund Amendment and the South Carolina Capital Reserve Fund Amendment, will affect the South Carolina state budget.

The amount of money reserved in the General Reserve Fund will increase from 3 percent to 5 percent of the previous year’s revenue.

Amendment 4 will ensure that South Carolina’s General Reserve Fund receive the money allotted to it by Amendment 3. Therefore, Amendment 4 would require that the “rainy day fund” take precedence over the Capital Reserve Fund.

Immigration, health care repeal on governor elect’s to-do list by lyn riddle | Staff

Governing South Carolina

next year won’t be for the faint of heart and Tuesday night Nikki Haley looked like she was so ready to jump in she was giddy.

Consider: South Carolina’s unemployment rate is 11 percent, sixth highest in the nation.

State government likely will have $1 billion less to spend. This year’s budget is $21 billion.

The tax structure has been roundly criticized as unfair to virtually everyone, from corporations to school boards.

“Now it’s our turn,” Haley said in her speech to supporters after victory over Democrat Vincent Sheheen was assured.

She said her victory as the first woman and first person of color – she is Indian-American – to be elected to the state’s highest office would be considered historic.

“But the history is going to be where we go,” she said, promising to take the state and the country back.

“My goal was always to get you to care,” she said. “Every dollar was not government money but taxpayer money. Today the people of South Carolina embraced that message.”

South Carolina governor elect Nikki Haley, accompanied by son Nalin, daughter Rena and husband Michael, prepares to cast her vote at Mount Horeb United Methodist Church in Lexington.

Standing with her was her husband Michael, a federal technician with the South Carolina National Guard and an officer in the Army National Guard, and their children Rena, 12, and Nalin, 8. She thanked them, her staffers, her volunteers and Gov. Mark Sanford, who she spent a certain amount of time recently distancing herself from largely because of his cantankerous relationship with the General Assembly.

Haley has attempted to reach out to legislators and was expected to begin again as governor elect on Thursday with a meeting in Pinopolis with Senate Republicans. Nevertheless, her rhetoric on the campaign trail included pledges to “burn” or “punish” legislators who don’t go along with her plans to reform government.

20 1 0 E l ec t i o n Haley benefited from endorsements from Sarah Palin and Jenny Sanford, who attended the victory celebration. And was able to overcome the fallout from allegations by two men that she had been unfaithful to her husband, which she denied, and criticism that she paid her income taxes late since 2003, resulting in fines of more than $4,000.

Sheheen called Haley a liar who used her influence as a state legislator to get a delay on an audit of her family’s clothing store. The charges cut into what was once a double-digit advantage for Haley, but it was not enough. The unofficial results showed Haley with 52 percent of the vote to Sheheen’s 46 percent.

Haley described Sheheen as gracious during his concession call and said she looked forward to working with him. He has two years to serve in his state Senate term.

He called the race “oh, oh so close.”

Haley has said she will eliminate the corporate income tax, privatize school bus transportation, get faithbased organizations to help with early childhood education and find corporations to bolster libraries. She also wants to strike down the federal health care reform law and will push for an immigration law similar to Arizona’s.

On Tuesday night she made another pledge: “To every citizen of South Carolina, I’m going to get to work for you and I’m going to make you proud.”

The defining moment in Trey

Gowdy’s successful campaign to gain the 4th District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives formerly Gowdy held by Congressman Bob Inglis came during the Republican primary when Inglis went negative and Gowdy refused to play tit for tat, said George Ramsey, Gowdy’s campaign manager.

Gowdy, 45, went on to crush Inglis in a runoff on June 8 with 71 percent of the vote to Inglis’ 29 percent following a bruising five-way primary fight.

“People would come up to us during the (primary) runoff and thank us for not going negative, too,” Ramsey said.

Inglis had grown out of touch with his constituents, Ramsey said, and coupled with a general mood of anti-incumbency it proved to be a bitter brew indeed for the six-term congressman.

In the Nov. 2 vote Gowdy slammed Democratic challenger Paul Corden 63.5 percent to 29 percent. Like the primary, the general election was a multichallenger affair with Constitution Party’s Dave Edwards getting about 5 percent; Libertarian Rick Mahler and Green Party candidate Faye Walters each won about 1 percent.

For Ramsey, campaigning hard meant sleeping on a cot in a back room at Gowdy’s campaign office and showering there, too, for almost a year and a half. He lives in Columbia and left his wife and family behind to come to the Upstate and work for Gowdy.

The crowd that turned out at the PalmettoPalaterestaurantinSpartanburg for Gowdy’s victory celebration Tuesday night was heavily slanted toward the Republican establishment.

“I don’t think the tea party played that big a role in the primary for us,” Ramsey said. “There were a couple of people running (in the primary) who were tea party and they generally don’t think too much of lawyers.

“But after the primary they threw their support behind us and we are grateful,” he said. “It didn’t hurt that Trey is a prosecutor which (once explained) sits pretty well with those folks.”

Gowdy is popular as the 7th Circuit solicitor. He will lay down the reins at the courthouse shortly and start working to build a staff to help him bring his brand of conservative, limited government, low tax governance to the House.

No one on the campaign staff is sure whether they’ll be going to Washington with Gowdy, said Mary Anna Lynch, a volunteer who handles scheduling.

Like Ramsey, she started work with the campaign about 18 months ago while still a student at Clemson.

Lynch graduated while working on the campaign and put off a job search to work with Gowdy.

She and Ramsey were both Political Science majors at Clemson. Ramsey graduated in 2000 and has worked with several Republican campaigns as a volunteer leading up to his role as campaign manager for Gowdy.

Most of Gowdy’s campaign staff was filled with young Republican ideologues with strong Upstate roots and, coupled with the backing of the district’s GOP establishment, proved to be a devastating combination for Gowdy’s political foes.

“I’m actually proud of the kind of race we ran,” Gowdy said during his victory speech. “I’m not a grenade thrower. I don’t take cheap shots at people. But I don’t like the direction the country is on. And you’ve got to make that case with persuasion and you can do it with civility.”

former Newberry College president Mick Zais’ win over Greenville’s Frank Holleman for South Carolina su- Zais perintendent of education is expected to give the push for private school vouchers or tax credits new momentum.

Since outgoing Gov. Mark Sanford was elected eight years ago, many Republicans have pushed for vouchers to help parents offset the cost of private school tuition.

Democrats, who have had a stranglehold on the state Superintendent of Education post, have been able to thwart the efforts thus far.

With Zais, the second Republican elected state education superintendent and a supporter of giving tax credits to scholarship-granting organizations to allow children from low-income families to leave underperforming public schools, and Nikki Haley’s win in the governor’s race, the issue gets new life.

“There will be trying moments during the next four years, but this should not dissuade the political leadership passing significant, innovative educational reforms,” Zais said in a statement released after the unofficial results were announced.

“Parents must be empowered to have a choice in the educational environment of their child,” he said.

Holleman said he expects Republicans to make a renewed voucher push.

“It would be a mistake for public education and I also think it would be a political mistake,” Holleman said.

Often times when a party wins an election like the Republicans did in South Carolina, it overestimates the significance of it, Holleman said.

He points to the national political scene.

Two years ago, Democrats were on top with a win by President Obama and control of Congress. This year, a Republican

wave swept through the South and Midwest, turning control of the U.S. House back to the Republicans and narrowing Democratic control of the Senate.

“I think the results were largely because the huge national wave washed over South Carolina,” he said. “I believe most people in South Carolina are strong supporters of public education.”

Holleman, who served as Deputy U.S. Secretary of Education under Dick Riley during Bill Clinton’s presidency, lost in most of the counties in the upper half of South Carolina, including his home county.

“I think the majority of voters who went into the election undecided simply cast a vote of protest in the national wave,” Holleman said. “That affected every race to the bottom of the ballot.”

Holleman helped start the state’s early childhood education program, First Steps to School Readiness, and Graduate Greenville, a program to improve high school graduation rates in Greenville County.

He said he doesn’t see himself running for state Superintendent of Education again.

He said he and his wife, Anne, will take a break after committing more than a year to the campaign. He said he would continue to be involved in issues that will help improve the community.

Zais said his campaign focused on improving education in South Carolina.

“This campaign has been focused on improving our schools for students and parents by reforming them with common-sense conservative ideas,” he said.

Zais is a graduate of West Point and served 31 years as a paratrooper, Ranger and brigadier general in the U.S. Army. He taught at West Point.

During his 10 years as president of Newberry College, the school’s enrollment nearly doubled, the endowment reached an all-time high and new facilities were built. For the past three years, Newberry College was named one of the country’s best colleges by “US News and World Report.”

Wells picks up school board seat Vouchers expected to be an issue again

by Dick Hughes | Contributing

Lisa Wells, the newly elected member of the Greenville County Board of School Trustees, celebrated her election on a school bus packed with 5th and 6th graders on a field trip to Charleston.

“We’re going on the Spirit of South Carolina, and are going to spend overnight in the Charleston Aquarium, and we’re going to dissect some sharks,” she said in a cell phone interview over the din of excited students, one of which is hers.

Running in the only district without an incumbent on the ticket, Wells of Simpsonville defeated five other candidates to win District 28’s seat on the board. The incumbent, Dan Moravec, did not seek re-election.

Incumbents won reelection in the other districts where terms were up.

Winning new terms were Pat Suddeth in District 18, Charles Saylors in District 20, Lynda Leventis-Wells in District 22, Megan E. Hickerson in District 24 and Roger Meek in District 26.

The field trip Lisa Wells took Wednesday was a soft beginning to what she and all the board members realize is going to be a tough couple of years managing policy and funding for

Wells

the Greenville school district.

It’s all about money – the lack of it.

“Our school system has been cut more than $58 million by the state,” said Pat Sudduth, who spent 38 years as a teacher, coach and administrator in the school system and was elected to a third term on the board.

“Our biggest challenge,” said Hickerson, who is chair of the board, “is going to be the biggest thing that it has been for the last couple of years.

We are going to have to continue to deal, probably, with mid-year cuts and definitely a smaller budget next year.”

Wells, who has been active in PTA at Fort Shoals and Sterling schools, where her children attend or have attended, said her priority will be to keep as much money directed to classroom as possible.

“We need programs that support the teachers, but every one of those things we need to look at again and make sure we know what the effectiveness is.”

With a master’s degree in civil engineering from Clemson, Wells believes she offers the board an ability to look at the big picture and

“apply analytical thinking” and her personal experience “in the trenches” as a volunteer working with teachers, principals and students.

“I would like to find out pretty quickly where they are looking to cut,” she said. “There are concerns that we have too much administration. I don’t know that that is the case, but I want to look at those numbers again and see if we do have places we can cut to isolate the classroom as much as possible.”

Wells said every support program needs to be audited to evaluate effectiveness.

High as a priority for Wells, Hickerson and other board members is convincing the legislature that public education requires a stable source of funding and that it made a mistake when it shifted school funding from residential property taxes to the sales tax, a vulnerable revenue source in downturns.

With the election over, said Wells, it is time to pressure elected officials to move beyond “the gross generalizations that take place in a campaign period at every level.

“We’ve allowed that to happen without pinpointing specifics. We need to get in there together now that the election is over and talk specifics because we are not going to get anywhere if we just talk in generalizations.”

Alcohol referendums pass Sales could begin as early as this weekend

BY NICOLE LIVENGOOD | CONTRIBUTING

VOTERS SAID YES to the referendum

on Sunday alcohol sales Tuesday in Greer and Simpsonville.

“Citizens of the city spoke,” says Russell Hawes, the City Administrator of Simpsonville. “The economic benefits of restaurants that are open on Sunday being able to serve all manner of beverages is important to our citizens.”

Of a city population of more than 18,000 residents, 50 percent of registered voters cast ballots resulting in a 59 percent to 41 percent vote in favor of the measure.

Any Simpsonville business with a permit to sell alcohol during the week will be able to sell alcoholic beverages on Sunday.

A similar referendum passed in Greer.

Sales of alcohol will be permitted by bars and restaurants on Sundays, but grocery and convenience stores will still be prohibited from selling alcohol on Sunday.

“We are very happy the referendum passed,” said Stan Christofferson, who owns Sushi Mizu, Great Bay Oyster House and Taco Parilla, all in downtown Greer.

It has been tough for Greer restaurants to compete with those in surrounding cities, he says. People would come to his establishments to eat dinner and then leave to go take advantage of Greenville nightlife on Saturdays.

“People voted yes, because they are ready for a change,” said Christofferson.

“Our entire community of restaurants will now be able to compete with restaurants as far away as North Carolina where alcohol sales are

allowed on Sunday.”

Greer city officials declined to comment on the vote results for what Greer Chamber of Commerce members acknowledged was a heated issue for voters.

Steve Owens, communications manager for the City of Greer, said out of 4,467 votes cast, 2,572 votes were in favor of the referendum.

Many of the restaurants affected by the referendum will be increasing their business hours when the new law is in place, giving residents more opportunity to spend money in their community.

Two of Christofferson’s establishments will have new hours. Taco Parilla located at 104 E. Poinsett St. will be open and have extended kitchen hours on Sunday and Great Bay Oyster House will be able to stay open until 2 a.m. on Sunday morning, as opposed to closing at midnight on Saturday.

Denise Vandenberghe, owner of Wild Ace Pizza and Pub, says she will also change her hours of operation.

“We will be opening on Sunday once we get a marketing plan in place,” she said. “But the referendum doesn’t just affect our bottom line, it affects the whole community.”

When people come out to eat at area restaurants, they stop at area stores and get gas. It brings in more money for all of the area businesses, not just restaurants, she said.

Wild Ace is one of several restaurants that will be hiring to fill their new hours.

Vandenberghe will be adding seven employees to her payroll including servers, kitchen staff and a bartender.

Local restaurants including Christofferson’s trio, Wild Ace Pizza & Pub, Café Rivera, Rhythm and Brews, and Applebee’s of Greer and other Greer businesses banded together to form a group called Greer Tomorrow to gain support for the vote. The group hired a political consultant firm in Greenville to help the campaign. They also delivered literature to households explaining what the referendum could do for growth in the city.

GOP take county council seat

BY CHARLES SOWELL | STAFF

Republican Dan Rawls rode the GOP wave in Greenville County to victory in county council District 26 over former county Rawls councilman Allen Bunk Johnson, a Democrat, on Tuesday.

Rawls won 3,812 to 3,216, according to unofficial results.

Johnson had served for 12 years on county council previously and Rawls

is a newcomer to elected office.

They were running for Judy Gilstrap’s seat on council. Gilstrap stepped down to run for the state House of Representatives and lost to Republican Eric Bikas 1,864 to 1,554.

Rawls, 69, is a retired businessman who has served on the county planning commission and several other county boards and commissions.

District 26 includes the Berea area on the western side of the county.

With extraordinary medical services and an outstanding surgical staff, ENT has made care a reality.

More complete hea lth covera R ¶

It’s simple math.

Together, both plans could protect you from out-of-pocket costs.

Having more complete health insurance coverage is vital. Medicare alone may not be enough. Medicare Parts A and B don’t cover all of your medical expenses or the cost of most prescription drugs. Together, an AARP Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan and an AARP MedicareRx plan, both insured by UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company, may help provide a solution. ®

®

• AARP Medicare Supplement Insurance is offered in a variety of plans to help fit your needs.

Medicare supplement plans help pay for some of the remaining out-of-pocket medical costs not paid for by Medicare.

• AARP MedicareRx Plans are prescription drug plans that provide coverage for the high cost of most prescription drugs (not paid for by Medicare Parts A and B).

Together, both plans help provide more complete health coverage.

Greenville County students aced the most important test they’ll take while in high school.

All South Carolina students must take and pass both sections of the High School Assessment Program test to get a high school diploma.

They get their first shot at the test as sophomores. If they don’t pass both the mathematics and the English language arts portions, they get additional chances at one or both of the sections.

Students must score at least a 2 to pass. Four is the highest grade.

In 2010, 80.8 percent of Greenville County 10th graders who took the test in the spring passed both sections.

Statewide, 78.6 percent of students taking the test for the first time passed.

In Greenville County, 88.2 percent of students passed the English language arts section, while 83.1 percent passed the math portion.

Georgia’s good fortune has put South Carolina $4.1 million closer to a high-speed rail system that would connect Atlanta to Charlotte, federal officials announced.

The money is part of $2.4 billion in federal grants for high-speed rail projects nationwide and announced by U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood last week.

Georgia’s grant will be shared with North and

This summer, some rising seniors in Greenville and Spartanburg counties will get to learn how mathematics and science are used to improve processes used to build BMWs, deliver health care and equip the armed forces.

The USC Upstate/BMW Manufacturing Academic Outreach Camp will be held twice in June.

Students with a demonstrated ability in math and science are eligible to apply.

The camp will be held at USC Upstate’s George Dean Johnson Jr. College of Business and Economics and also include trips to the BMW plant and performance center and to USC Upstate’s main campus.

Students will learn and apply lean manufacturing and Six Sigma tools through computerized challenges, physical simulations, case studies and teaching games.

Students will also drive a BMW at the

South Carolina and used as planning money to develop a high-speed rail line linking Atlanta with Charlotte.

The Atlanta to Charlotte segment would be part of a longer route extending to Washington, D.C. Overall, 54 high speed rail projects got money in 23 states, federal officials said. The Federal Railroad Administration received 132 applications from 32 states.

“Demand for high-speed rail dollars is intense,

Bobby Hitt, BMW Manufacturing’s manager of public affairs, said the curriculum with real-life applications would help students plan their future career choices.

Students must have a valid South Carolina driver’s license to participate in the free camp.

Students must apply for the camp by submitting an application, a letter of recommendation from their high school guidance counselor or teacher, their high school transcripts and their PSAT, SAT or ACT scores by March 3, 2011. A selection committee will review applications. and it demonstrates just how important this historic initiative is,” LaHood said. “States understand that high-speed rail represents a unique opportunity to create jobs, revitalize our manufacturing base, spur economic development and provide people with an environmentally friendly transportation option.”

“I am proud of our community and the strong support we have received through the years. Our university is surrounded by wonderful friends who have helped to move the institution forward,” Spittal said in a statement. Spittal Charles Joiner, chairman of the university’s board of trustees, praised Spittal for his leadership at the school.

“As university president, Dr. Spittal has guided Southern Wesleyan into an era of financial security and increased enrollment. Our campus in Central is a testimony to his leadership, with new structures, expanded property and space for more students,” Joiner said.

GREER’S CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES will include two days of events

at Greer City Park Dec. 3 through 4 culminating with the annual Greer Jaycees Christmas Parade on Dec. 5.

“The weekend has exploded in popularity in the two years since Greer City Park and the Events Center at Greer City Hall opened,” City of Greer Events Coordinator Laurie Campbell said. “We’re pleased to welcome Village Hospital as the presenting sponsor for the weekend events and have planned two days of holiday fun and surprises.”

Things get started with the Greer Tree Lighting Ceremony at 6 p.m. on Dec. 3 at the park. There will be free time on inflatables for children and local choirs and performers from Southern Dance Connection entertain on the Amphitheater Stage.

Santa’s arrival and the countdown to the city tree lighting will cap this always festive program.

On Dec. 4 there will be three opportunities for families to have breakfast with Santa in the Events Center located at 301 E. Poinsett St. One-hour sessions beginning at 8 a.m., 9:30 a.m., and 11 a.m. include a hot breakfast, children’s activities sponsored by the Greer Station Association, and the opportunity to visit with Santa.

“We began receiving calls weeks ago inquiring about Breakfast with Santa because the event has become a Christmas tradition for many families in the Upstate,” Campbell said Tickets are $4 for children ages 3-9 and $6 for ages 10-over. They are available at the Greer City Hall business lobby weekdays between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. The event is supported by Texas Roadhouse, Wal-Mart of Taylors, and Upstate Wedding and Event Services.

Sunday’s Christmas Parade begins at 3 p.m. on West Poinsett Street and continues on North Main to conclude at the J. Harley Bonds Center.

With successful careers in hand, June Wilcox, John Hampson and Tim Mesaric sat around wondering what to do next. There were two conditions: it had to do good, and it had to make money. In that order.

Out of the soul-searching came TimesTwo, a retail business that turns orthodox retailing on its head. Charity is the first goal and making enough money for costs and a profit follows, though with intent the purposes work in harmony.

The concept is simple. For every product TimesTwo sells, the company will give away an identical or similar item to a local charity.

Making it work is the hard part. But the partners believe TimesTwo not only will work, but can become a national lifestyle brand that lets “good people live fulfilled by doing good every day in their purchase decisions.”

Says Wilcox, “Our long-term vision is to take a model from the Greenville community and replicate it anywhere in the country.”

By mid-November, TimesTwo will offer a line of baby clothing online and at its office and retail store at 12 E. Stone Ave. in Greenville. Prices range from $9 to $14.

The Family Effects, a local mission that assists children and their families where addiction is a root cause of abuse, will receive identical items for every one sold.

Mesaric says TimesTwo is starting online and in direct sales from its Stone Avenue store, “then, depending on partnerships in the community, there might be items placed in stores around town as well.”

c o v e r

Wilcox says TimesTwo chose baby items because they are needed by consumers and because The Family Effects “helps a lot of young mothers.”

“The next set is personal family hygiene and emergency supply items, and then in the spring we are going to get school supplies.”

They recognize that finding customers who share their values is not enough.

They will have to offer high quality merchandise at competitive prices.

“The price will be competitive with a normal downtown retail business,” says Hampson. “We will not be competitive with a Wal-Mart. We’re not trying to serve a consumer who is looking for a cheap quality deal. We are trying to target the consumer who wants to buy with their principles and values.”

Mesaric says they will seek retail partners but know it will be a challenge finding retailers who share their values and are willing to give up space and margin, which is “why we are focusing online and on direct purchase from us. The boutiques would be nice, but online and direct is more the route we are trying to exploit.”

Wilcox, Mesaric and Hampson came together at the adec group, a Greenville IT consulting business where Wilcox is president, Mesaric vice president and Hampson an advisor “not technically ours (but) we claim him as one of us any chance we get.”

“Even though all three of us had successful business careers, there was something missing,” says Hampson.

“There was a level of self-fulfillment in our careers that just wasn’t there. The problem was the inability to do good for the people in the community.”

Hampson, 47, of Simpsonville, left

Michelin last year after 21 years in senior management in Great Britain, Europe and the United States to establish a consulting company, Fastur Group.

Wilcox, 40, of Gray Court, who has a master’s degree in international business from the Darla Moore School of Business, established the adec group 11 years ago after working for Motorola in Brazil.

Mesaric, 35, of Greenville has been with the company for 10 years.

At TimesTwo, there are no officers, no titles, no bosses.

TimesTwo merges their civic-mindedness with their jobs. “We all did lot of work in the community with groups and missions and were very active; but since we spend so much time working, what we do should make a difference in more than just paying bills and running payroll,” explains Wilcox.

Giving one away for each one sold doubles the cost of inventory, so how does TimesTwo expect to sell at a competitive price, give away what it promises and turn a profit?

“It’s very difficult, and that’s our challenge,” says Wilcox. The company will be “as efficient as we can possibly be.”

That means bypassing middle men, funding everything with cash, keeping administration bare-bones, paying themselves no salaries until a profit is turned and operating from a central location.

“If we just wanted to make money, we wouldn’t do TimesTwo. We are not a charity or any other kind of not-forprofit organization. Let’s be clear, this a for-profit venture, but we consider ourselves ‘conscious capitalists.’”

Jet Centers Buys its Airport Competitor Jet Centers Inc., the Greenville aviation fuel and servicing company, has purchased its TAC Air competitor at Greenville Downtown Airport to create the largest general aviation center in South Carolina.

Hank Brown, president of Jet Centers, said there was not enough business to sustain two fixed operating bases or FOBs, and both companies agreed consolidation was needed.

Greg Beckner/Staff “We think it is going to be good for us, but mainly it is going to be good for our customers and the airport,” Brown said.

With the recession having taken a heavy toll on general aviation, business is off 35 percent from 2007, he said, adding that activity is gradually picking up.

Terms of the sale will not be disclosed under terms of the agreement. The sale closed minutes before midnight last Friday.

The transfer of TAC’s operational functions to Jet Centers took place early Saturday, Brown said.

Brown said TAC employees immediately became GJC employees and no one was laid off. Two part-time employees left to continue schooling and already have been replaced, he said.

The seven Jet Center hangers were merged with TAC’s 10 hangers to create a complex of 17 hangers. Including the additional shop and office space, the complex totals 226,000

Brown said TAC Air’s Greenville operation was the only one acquired and that the transaction does not affect TAC’s other 12 FOBs. Jet Centers also has service centers at Camden and at the South Carolina Technology and Aviation Center, the new name for the Donaldson industrial air park.

In a statement from its TAC Air headquarters in Texarkana, Texas, Christian Sasfair, vice president and chief operating officer, said consolidation “has become a necessary component of today’s aviation services industry.”

He said where aviation services in “over saturating markets,” such was the case at Greenville, the typical result is “higher prices – not lower prices – as each operator struggles to cover its fixed costs.” A single provider can provide more cost effective services, he said.

With nearly 80,000 take-offs and landings annually, 245 based aircraft, 435 jobs, a payroll of $13.4 million and total economic impact of $35 million, the Greenville airport is the busiest general aviation airport in the state, according to the aeronautics division of the S.C. Department of Commerce.

TAC Air is a division of Truman Arnold Co.

Palmetto Feels Pain of Development Loans

Lender Agrees on Transparency Advance America, the Spartanburg-based payday lender, reports that revenue was down 8.2 percent to $154.2 million for the third quarter and 7.2 percent for the nine months ending Sept. 30 to $474.4 million.

Net income for the third quarter was $1.4 million, down from $12.6 million in the comparable period last year. For the nine-month period, net income was $20 million compared to $34.4 million last year.

The company said regulatory restrictions on payday lending in its home state of South Carolina and in Virginia, Washington, Kentucky and Colorado and in Arizona, where it ceased operations, reduced revenues and profits by about half in those states.

In addressing the new federal Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, Ken Compton, chief executive officer, told analysts that Advance America agrees with what it has heard about the approach by Elizabeth Warren, President Obama’s special assistant charged with setting up the bureau.

“Above all, Mrs. Warren has voiced her strong support for a principle-based approach to reform, one that ensures a full merger of clarity and fair treatment for all consumers by giving them the information they need to choose the financial service that is best for them.” Compton said.

“We’re also deeply committed to truthful advertising and fair collection practices and transparency and clarity around all transactions,” he said.

The company declared a dividend of $0.0625 per share, its 24th consecutive quarterly dividend and consistent with what it has paid in the last two years.

Palmetto Bank said 10 individual loans were responsible for $12.3 million in credit losses in the third quarter as the Greenville bank continued to take hits on its heavy portfolio of commercial real estate loans.

“Commercial real estate activity continues to be depressed resulting in a negative impact on appraised values,” said Samuel Erwin, chief executive officer. “Not surprisingly, we recorded write downs on our problem assets based on updated appraisals that continue to come in at reduced values.”

For the quarter, Palmetto Bancshares, the holding company, reported a loss of $13.8 million. The loss was driven “primarily by the elevated level of provision for loan losses and write down on foreclosed assets” and reflects the bank’s intent to clear its books of bad loans, the company said.

“It is disappointing that we incurred another quarterly loss, but it is a natural part of the process of working our way through the current credit cycle,” Erwin said.

On the bright side, he said, the amount of problem loans declined for the second straight quarter.

Palmetto also wrote off $3.7 million in value that had been booked for future earnings related to prior branch acquisitions. The noncash goodwill charge does not affect the bank’s capital or liquidity.

On Oct.7, Palmetto closed on sale of $103 million in common shares to institutional investors. The investment restored Palmetto’s capital to above what regulators require for a “well-capitalized” bank.

Acquisition Boosts Delta Apparel Delta Apparel, maker and marketer of specialty clothing, reported net earnings of $1.6 million or 19 cents per share on record sales of $108 million in the first quarter of the Greenville company’s fiscal year.

In the comparable period a year ago, the company had sales of $99 million and net income of $2.6 million or 30 cents a share.

The company said quarterly results were affected by expenses associated with acquisition of The Cotton Exchange clothing line, the start-up of the Art Gun “virtual art studio” and a new marketing campaign.

Delta Apparel acquired The Cotton Exchange of Wendell, N.C., for $9 million in July. The Cotton Exchange makes U.S.-made collegiate apparel under that brand and products under brands of TCS and Just for Us. It will stay in Wendell.

Delta Apparel said The Cotton Exchange was responsible for sales growth in its retail-ready segment of 12 percent to $52 million. The company said sales also were strong on its licensed outdoor brands of Realtree Outfitters and Realtree Outfitters by The Game.

Robert W. Humphreys, chairman and chief executive officer, said a positive sales trend in July slowed later in the quarter as retailers became concerned about holiday shopping prospects.

“This, coupled with the significant rise in cotton prices and uncertainty about its long-term impact, has added pressure to an already weak marketplace. Despite this, we were able to achieve organic sales growth of 2 percent in the quarter,” he said.

Delta Apparel’s subsidiaries include M. J. Soffe, Junkfood Clothing Co., To The Game, Art Gun and TCX. The company has 7,100 full-time employees in the United States, Honduras, El Salvador and Mexico.

Stephen Ridley knew there had to be a better way.

Too many patients ended up with medical problems after a vascular access procedure, which involves inserting a catheter into a major vein.

“I knew there had to be a simpler and safer method. I wanted to find a way to decrease patient morbidity and mortality from these procedures, while reducing patient suffering,” said Ridley, an engineer turned

The ExactTrack Virtual Needle Technology decreases the risk of problems during vascular access procedures by more than 60 percent.

Greenville company develops high-tech needle device emergency medicine physician.

Ridley and Dexter Hagy, are cofounders of Greenville based medical technology company, SOMA Access Systems.

Their invention is called the ExactTrack Virtual

Needle Technology, which was unveiled in September at the American College of Emergency Physicians Scientific Assembly in Las Vegas. The device decreases the risk of problems during vascular access procedures by more than 60 percent, Ridley said.

The standard freehand method for ultrasound guided central venous access has a 37 percent success rate.

Soma Access Systems is an intellectual property development company focused on designing, developing, and commercializing unique, cost effec-

tive solutions for problems arising during specific medical procedures.

Ridley has experienced first-hand the challenges physicians face every day when placing central venous catheters.

“Time is of the essence, the patient is often in serious condition, and the risks of complications are very real,” he says.

“When Steve brought his concept to me, it seemed like it would be a worthy investment,” said Hagy, who had extensive experience bringing new medical products and technology to market. “It has been well documented that better technology is needed during

ExactTrack for patients, physicians and hospitals alike include safe and simple vascular access, fewer sticks and reduced infection rates, quick and easily training to use the device, and better overall quality of patient care.

THIS WEEK’S FEATURED HOME | SPONSORED BY JOAN HERLONG

T H E | N E I G H B O R H O O D Cleveland Street, Greenville, SC WHERE: 2011 Cleveland St Ext ABOUT: Five bedrooms, Three full baths, Two acres, Three car garage , 4200+ square feet FOR MORE INFORMATION: Joan Her long, The Number One Realtor in the Upstate’s Number One Realty Company* 679-5908 Pr udential C . Dan Joyner

S

ecluded on two acres of privacy in the heart of the Parkins Mill Area, 2011 Cleveland Street Ext has been redone, expanded and updated inside and out.

Every room – including all bathrooms -- has been redone and/or redecorated, ready for your family to move in and enjoy.

Highlights include: walls removed to create open kitchen, breakfast, keeping room. Features include gas log fireplace, custom cabinetry, solid slab granite countertops, custom pull out pantry shelving, top of the line appliances, including double wall ovens, gas cook top, and wine frig. This open family space is the center attraction, where families live, hang out and entertain.

But speaking of main attractions: you can watch them in the way cool Media Room these owners have created on the lower level. This is the place to be for birthday parties, home videos, video games, DVD’s and the big game. A/V equipment included!

Master and two children’s bedrooms on main level. The walk out lower level has two more bedrooms, a bath and the Media/Bonus Room, ideal inlaw or guest space.

The new three car garage PLUS workshop PLUS semifinished bonus space above might even be cooler to some dads than the Media/Man Room. There is not enough space to detail this beautiful makeover, so see it at www.

AugustaRoad.com and then make an appointment to see it for yourself.

It’s even better for your family in person! *based on MLS data Jan 2009 thru Dec 2009.

People almost always hurry though the woods as if keeping the very schedules they fled to the wilderness to escape.

In that disconnect lies the heart of great nature writing. With each passing year there is less of nature and more civilization. Somewhere, deep inside, most people feel a longing to get closer to nature, but don’t have a clue as to how.

That’s why they go to the ever dwindling woods in ever increasing numbers and almost always come back feeling vaguely dissatisfied.

The problem is most people treat a trip down the Foothills Trail like a dog-walking expedition to Cleveland Park. They go in groups to gossip.

String out along the trails with a great animal-scattering clatter. Some even wear their iPod headsets like electronic security blankets to wander unseeing through some of the most spectacular scenery the Southern Appalachians have to offer.

Seeing so little, and understanding less, they turn to the nature writers to explain.

So, rule one is go slow and quiet.

That’s something I had great difficulty with as a child learning the fine art of squirrel hunting from my mother. “Take five steps and wait five minutes,” she said while fussily teaching her archaic method of moving through crunchy autumn leaves without sounding like a garbage truck.

Never mastered that one, but that mantra of five steps and wait five minutes has revealed more about the outdoor world than all of the books, instruction, and pundits I’ve encountered during more than 30 years of writing about the outdoors.

Nature speaks in ways subtle and often silent. Standing waist deep in a North Carolina trout stream on a recent October evening a massive buck deer announced his coming by a musty reek plain in the evening breeze long before the tinkling of antlers against tree branches told me he was there.

wa n t to g o ?

Charles Sowell’s essay “How Goose Got His Name” is one of 34 essays included in “Outdoor Adventures in Upcountry,” published by Hub City press. A reading and book signing will be held in Greenville Nov. 17, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the FYI Center on South Main. A similar event will be held in Spartanburg from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Nov. 9 at the Showroom.

Standing transfixed in the stream as darkness fell, fly line floating forgotten behind me, I saw the buck pause at the edge of a pasture before quietly moving on and out of sight.

It was a tableau fixed in the mind’s eye that a camera could never capture and, beyond all else, locking that scene into words is what makes nature writing more a passion and an art than mere reporting.

Rule two in nature writing is show up early and stay late in places that seem off-putting to anyone wedded to paved walking tracks.

There are snakes in the woods, and spiders, too, but if fear controls where you go then you will never have the kinds of experiences that make for memorable prose.

Every good nature story has cost torn clothing, aching muscles and spilled blood. Bull briars are nature’s own barbed wire designed to keep unwanted intruders out and the natives protected.

Traveling with Dennis Chastain to view petroglyphs sites and cave drawings left by the ancients, or to see environmental hot spots rife with rare trillium species is always an

S K E T C H B O O K experience in taking the road less traveled.

Standing in a stream bed high in the Jocassee Gorges with stinging nettles biting at my calves the pain and the blood are forgotten, drowned out by the sight of a natural choir loft rising on all sides filled with white and maroon blossoms.

Rule three is that people make up a big part of nature writing. They are the kind of people who find traversing a ridgeline in a freezing wind more pleasurable than an afternoon at Death Valley. These kinds of people are always memorable.

Years ago, on a float trip down the Congaree River from Columbia to Lake Marion our pontoon boat was putting along the river near where it empties into the lake.

“Would you look at that!” came a shout from the bow.

Downstream we could see one of those huge tricked out jon boats so common in the Lowcountry roaring upstream, throwing a high rooster

The big question

C O V E R

tail of spray behind it.

The prop on one of these monsters rests at the end of a long boom extending about 12 feet from the outboard motor, the better to weave through thick beds of hydrillia that choke the local lakes and streams.

The jon boat swept from side to side of the channel with a steadily increasing rumble. When it got close enough to make out details we saw the boat’s sole occupant stretched out stark naked on a lounge chair, right arm hung nonchalantly over the motor’s steering arm, a beer in his left hand.

He grinned fiercely as he passed; a mask of defiance capped with a camouflage hat and mirrored glasses, and tossed the can into the wake. The prop ate it with a satisfied “zzzzip!”

Sometimes, you never learn these characters’ names. But, by God, you know when you’ve met one.

A sociology professor at the University of South Carolina will teach a course titled “Lady Gaga and the sociology of fame.” Next semester?

“What to do when you wish you really had gone hiking.”

Contrary to popular belief, that stinky smell in Columbia was not coming from Gervais Street. Multiple reports to the Department of Environmental Control had officials doing some head scratching. They believe the odor came courtesy of a farmer who used chicken manure in his fields and the steady windy weather that carried its ‘perfume’ into the city.

One Tennessee football player took their loss to South Carolina pretty hard. He was arrested in Knoxville after a warrant was issued for defensive lineman Jacques Smith for simple assault. He turned himself in and was released on $2,000 bond.

If you’re at the beach and wonder where all the boats have gone… it’s because it’s coming up on tax season. Turns out that owners of big yachts that are registered out of state, summer in Charleston, but can’t stay longer than 180 days under state law, otherwise they’ll get a tax bill in the mail. They tend to motor on over to states such as Florida where there are no property taxes on boats.

Byrd shoots hole in one And for the Clemson grad, it meant a record and a win by s. kim henson | Contributing

In the near darkness and with the crowd’s cheers at a distance, Jonathan Byrd had to ask Adam Hayes, his caddy of two years, “Did it go in?”

It did.

Clemson graduate Byrd, 32, aced a 204-yard shot on the par-3 17th hole at TPC Summerlin in Las Vegas to settle the playoff against Martin Laird and Cameron Percy in the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.

The shot on the playoff’s fourth hole made golf history – it is the first event ever won on the PGA Tour by a hole-in-one.

“And my first response was like these guys still have to hit. I don’t want to jump around on this tee box like a madman. I just felt like it would be disrespectful. I wanted to give them the opportunity to try to hit a great shot,” Byrd said.

Jordan Byrd, Jonathan’s older brother and assistant coach for Clemson’s golf team, heard the news from head coach Larry Penley, who got a call from his wife, Heidi.

Penley said until he could calm her down to figure out what had happened, she kept screaming, “He made it. He made it.”

Penley, who recruited and coached Jonathan Byrd at Clemson, was with Jordan Byrd and the university’s golf team in Georgia at a college tournament, staying in a hotel that didn’t have the Golf Channel.

Penley said, “Everyone was jumping around and yelling when they heard the news.”

Jonathan Byrd was born in Anderson.

The family moved to Columbia where he and his brother grew up with golf clubs in hand by age two. Jonathan’s first club was at most two feet long and was a MacGregor 5 Iron.

Their dad, Jim Byrd, played alongside his sons until his illness and death in July 2009. He was there, along with Jordan and their mom, Jo, when Jonathan made his first hole-in-one before age 10. Jonathan has shot six holes-in-one to date. About four years ago his dad called to boast about his first one on a par-3 only to have Jonathan outdo him the next week with an ace on a par-4.

He said, “Obviously I thought about that on Sunday after I made that holein-one. And was just thinking how could my dad have topped that? That was pretty special.”

Jonathan’s daughter, Caroline, turns two in November and is young for the game but her four-year-old brother, Jackson, already has his junior set of clubs. On Monday morning when Jonathan arrived home to Sea Island, Ga., Jackson asked, “Where’s your trophy?” It is Jonathan’s fourth since joining the PGA Tour in 2002 and his fifth since his professional career began in 2000. The win is accompanied by a check for $774,000.

“He’s the best putter and short game player I’ve ever seen” said Penley, “and that makes a year like this one difficult when he’s struggling with his shots, with his putt. But he turned it around this past month.”

His former coach figured the big win would wind down Jonathan’s year. Jordan, however, said when Jonathan mentioned to his wife, Amanda, that he may skip playing in the Children’s Miracle Network

No trips to the store.

Jonathan Byrd is a Clemson graduate who is now playing on the PGA Tour.

Classic at Disney, she said, “Do you want to be the one to tell Jackson we’re not going to Disney World?”

This week the pro golfer returned to his alma mater where he also made history as Clemson’s first student athlete to be firstteam Academic All-American twice and first four-time first-team All-ACC golfer.

He was the first in Clemson history to start on four straight top 10 teams. On Thursday, Jonathan shared with the golf team what he learned in the tournament. Before his final competition of the year, he’ll spend the weekend with family, watching Clemson football against North Carolina State.

When asked if his was 2010’s greatest shot, Jonathan gave a nod to Phil Mickelson’s hit out of the pine straw, between the trees and over the creek that landed on the putting green at the 13th hole during the final Masters round at Augusta National.

“That is Jonathan being humble,” his brother said. “His was by far the best.

I may be biased but my reasoning is Mickelson didn’t make the putt after his shot. Jonathan won a tournament with his.”

The Ideal Laundry and Cleaner’s main plant was located on Buncombe Street at the corner of Echols Street. At small pick-up and delivery branches throughout the city, curb service was available to the customer. The main entrance to the plant, with heavy pilasters and pediment, was typical of the architectural adornment placed on otherwise austere exteriors in the early 20th century.

Shortly after the conclusion of the Main Street Christmas parade on November 19, 1946, an explosion rocked downtown Greenville that many thought was an earthquake. A propane gas explosion completely destroyed the Ideal laundry building and 10 surrounding houses. Nearby businesses were also damaged in the explosion. Some laundry employees were still in the building. Six were killed and 120 injured by the blast. Today the site of the Ideal Laundry plant is vacant.

Miyonna Baker goes to the Caine Halter branch of the YMCA after her school day ends at Beck Academy.

“At first I thought I was the only one who lost a person but I know there are others. It made me feel so good,” Miyonna said.

She talks to Brittany, who lives in Greenwood, on the phone regularly and they both go to Britanny’s grandmother’s house every now and then to spend the night. She hears from Brooke less frequently, but their bond holds true.

Now 11 and an honor roll student, Miyonna will be back at Camp Greenville next weekend. So will Brittany and Brooke.

“It’s improved her life,” said Brewster.

The YMCA of Greenville’s Healing Challenge Weekend will be held Nov. 12-14 at Y Camp Greenville in Cedar Mountain, N.C. The cost is $50 per camper, although scholarships are available. Contact Greg McKee at 242-1111, ext. 58, or gmckee@ymcagreenville.org.

across the majesty of western North Carolina.

“This is to our knowledge a unique camping experience for this particular family need,” said Dusty Deming, director of marketing and public relations at the YMCA of Greenville.

The Y started the program seven years ago with special emphasis on children who had lost a loved one, but soon it became apparent the whole family needed support, Deming said.

Miyonna’s mother died in childbirth in 2001.

The baby had been dead in the womb for a few days. Labor was induced and the next thing Brewster knew a Code Blue had been called and she was hurried out of the room. Before long, her 32-year-old daughter was dead.

“It was shocking,” Brewster said. Like many people, she thought dying in childbirth had been left behind on the prairie. And that created its own problem because the death was so unexpected, almost like a murder or car accident.

“Going that way is a hard thing to swallow,” Brewster said. “I thank God I was saved when my daughter died. I’m surviving by the grace of God. Thank God I didn’t crack up cause somebody had to raise Miyonna.”

Miyonna went to Camp Greenville for the first time the year after her mother died. It was comforting to find others who knew exactly how she was feeling. She was no longer the girl who was different.

“I fell in love with it,” she said.

She considers the counselors friends.

“What I like most is when we go out and talk about everything that’s happened,” she said. “We talk about the sadness and how we deal with it.”

And she met Brittany and Brooke, who have gone through similar experiences.

Miyonna Baker was 8 when her mother died.

She wondered who would raise her.

Her grandmother Renee Brewster reassured her. Nana would.

But in the months that followed, Miyonna had trouble sleeping and wouldn’t go into the room she shared with her mother at her grandmother’s house.

She cried a lot and wanted to go where her mother went.

Her grandmother told her no, it wasn’t her time.

Brewster, who has custody of Miyonna, knew her granddaughter needed to find others who had lost a loved one. She found what she was looking for at the YMCA of Greenville’s Healing Challenge Weekend at Y Camp Greenville at Cedar Mountain, N.C. During the weekend, families hike, climb mountains, write in journals and take part in group discussions with counselors from Radford University. Once families return home, they have support from Fifth Season, Center for Loss, Grief and Transition, a non-profit on Mills Avenue in Greenville.

It is a place where grief meets itself, mixes around with the loss of others and spreads out
