One in five students in the United States struggle with a language-based learning disability, and 75 percent of them can be helped. The problem is oftentimes the problems go undiagnosed or unnoticed. Clarity, The Speech, Hearing and Learning Center of Greenville is offering a free session for parents to find out about learning disabilities on Monday at the YWCA. “It is possible for a child to learn to compensate for their disorder,” says Anna Hunt, a licensed psychologist with Clarity, “so it is possible for a learning disability to go undiagnosed. Usually by college, the volume of material gets so great that they can’t keep pace and seek help.” One Upstate parent says her nineyear-old daughter started showing signs of a learning disability in four year old kindergarten. “She lagged behind in letter recognition and struggled with sight words that her classmates picked up on easily. We thought she would catch up, but it just didn’t happen.” Her daughter was a leader, active, creative and well spoken. “As she approached first grade, our daughter grew increasingly frustrated with phonetic skills, sight

Questions and Answers Regarding Your Child’s Learning will be held at the YWCA on Augusta Street on Monday from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. A panel of Clarity psychologists will talk to parents about how to spot a possible learning or attention disorder in their child.

words, and simple math. While other children were reading books, she would sit and make up stories for the pictures on the page.” Homework was difficult. “She whined and cried, dropped her pencil, stared off into space, which left us all frustrated and exhausted. After we finally had her tested, we discovered she suffered from Dyslexia along with a mild case of ADHD.” “Pediatricians are often the gate keepers to catching a problem,” says Lauren Batson, a licensed psychologist and pediatric neuropsychologist at Clarity. Doctors often go over developmental milestones at checkups and failure to meet these milestones could signal a problem. Learning problems in elementary school should be caught by teachers, but parents should be aware of
following signs that something could be going on with their child: difficulty writing or holding a pencil, reversing letters or numbers past the first grade, trouble learning letter-sound associations, difficulty decoding or sounding out novel words or words not in the child’s sight word vocabulary, trouble spelling or phonetically approximating a word in writing, or trouble memorizing basic math facts. Often children with learning disabilities complain of a headache or stomachache and
dread going to school or often ask to go to the nurse. These kids do not volunteer to answer questions or read aloud in class, and can sometimes mask their disability with bad behavior, says Hunt. “A big risk factor for learning disabilities is premature birth,” says Batson. Hunt points out that learning disabilities are very hereditary. If there is a family history of learning disabilities, parents should look for signs of problems in their children.

Really Gov. Haley? For someone who says she “won’t put up with the drama” from critics, Gov. Nikki Haley isn’t above resorting to melodrama of her own about the $225 million budget deficit now jeopardizing health care services for the state’s disabled and poor. Haley chose the word “immoral” to describe an offer by South Carolina hospitals to increase the taxes they pay – now $264 million a year – to prevent deep cuts to the state’s Medicaid program. The hospitals would only pass the tax to consumers, Haley said, which is “wrong, it’s immoral and I won’t support it and no one in the Legislature should support it.” Immoral? Really? Then how about this for immoral: slandering hospital executives who would rather pass along a dollar increase in taxes than $4 in cuts that would hurt consumers and taxpayers even more. Or this: joining legislators in defaming former Health and Human Services director Emma Forkner over a deficit she warned them was coming, and which is a direct consequence of the Legislature’s past actions and policies. Or this: playing pass-the-blame rather than working honestly with DHHS and health care providers to forestall draconian cuts that will have a devastating multiplier effect on South Carolina’s economy. Because South Carolina is so poor, every dollar the state spends on Medicaid is matched by $3 from the federal government. So a $100 million cut to the state’s Medicaid contribution – the dollar figure cited most often – would actually slice $400 million from the program. Cuts of that size would have a dramatic ripple effect. Rural doctors’ offices and small hospitals with disproportionate numbers of Medicaid patients may not survive, meaning lost services and jobs. Emergency room traffic (and wait times) will surely increase – as will insurance premiums, as private insurance costs grow to make up for the money lost. Medicaid insures almost half of all South Carolina children and pays for more than half of all births. The program’s overall caseload has grown by 100,000 people since 2007. Their needs won’t vanish along with that $400 million. But the most inexcusable of all their hypocrisies is the way lawmakers hogtied Ms. Forkner and pillaged her agency before they started blaming her for the results. Federal law already bars DHHS from changing Medicaid eligibility requirements or reducing most services. But state legislators lashed the agency to the wall. Lawmakers have cut $228 million from DHHS’ budget since the economy crashed and taken $500 million of its reserves to spend elsewhere. According to newspaper reports, Forkner warned them twice between January and April last year that she lacked the cash to cover the growing enrollment. She wrote more warning letters in August and filed a formal report on the deficit in November. Attached were five pages of state laws prohibiting cuts and dictating spending. Legislators had banned such money-saving options as cutting chiropractic services or requiring preauthorization for mental health care or whittling provider rates. And when former Gov. Mark Sanford vetoed those restrictions, they overrode him. So now Senate Pro Tem Glenn McConnell is questioning Forkner’s integrity and demanding an audit to find out where to lay the blame. Hold up a mirror, senator. Then hand it to the governor. Then, for the sake of us all, work honorably with the new DHHS director and the health care industry to find a path out of the disaster you created. 6 G r e e n v i l l e J o u r n a l | FEBRUARY 25, 2011

Needed: active seniors Recent census results
indicate there are roughly 57,000 people over age 65 in Greenville and Spartanburg counties. This group accounts for almost 13 percent of the population in the Upstate’s two largest counties. They face many health challenges, but there are steps seniors can take to help themselves in the long run. Remaining as active as possible goes a long way toward preventing many health concerns facing the senior population. Evidence shows that moderate physical activity can help people live longer and reduce health hazards including high blood pressure, cholesterol levels, the risk of heart attacks, hardening of the arteries and the possibility of strokes. Physical exercise also helps fight osteoporosis, keeps joints stabilized and the body limber. Additionally, seniors need to use all elements that contribute to good health and to remain fit, such as eating a well-balanced diet, not smoking and seeing their doctor regularly. There are many opportunities for seniors to gain and maintain fitness in 2011. Now there is a new incentive for this group to reach for that fitness. The Woodlands at Furman and the Greenville Track Club are joining together to host the inaugural Woodlands Challenge. This effort will get more seniors to take part in the many road races that happen in the Upstate each month. The goal is to get more people over age 65 active. Being a fast runner is not required, just participation. These individuals don’t even need to run – walkers are welcome and encouraged. They just need to want to
in my own words by dr. john r. sanders be active. A healthy lifestyle contributes so much to the goal of a healthy retirement. That should be the goal of all seniors and is one of the core tenants of what the Woodlands and Upstate Senior Living is all about. What do you need to do in order to be a participant? The Woodlands Challenge will only be for the Greenville Track Club sponsored events among the many road races offered during the course of the year. All a senior needs to do is sign up for one of the Track Club events and they are entered into the Woodlands Challenge. The more events entered and participated in, the more points accrued. At the end of the year, the man and woman with the most points will be the inaugural winner. We want to add a motivation for seniors to become involved in an activity integral to the Upstate community. Incenting a population who normally don’t partake in the region’s racing culture to take advantage of this fitness activity is the purpose. The idea of being active is the main agenda. The best reason for incorporating regular exercise into your life is to feel better and enjoy life more. Imagine if you will the thrill of sleeping better, managing stress better, and gaining more endurance for the enjoyment of work and/or play. Dr. John R. Sanders is the out-going board president of The Woodlands at Furman, which is a non-profit Life Care living community in Greenville.

A historic property, saved for the future BY LYN RIDDLE | STAFF
ONE BY ONE, many of Greenville’s
great estates have been subdivided and developed. A couple of wooded tracts in the North Main area. The Williams-Earle property on Grove Road. “Year by year, another site is torn down or subdivided,” said Brad Wyche, executive director of Upstate Forever. It represents progress to some, a growing city and families disinterested or unable to hold onto the home place. It’s also a trend Judy Cromwell intends for forgo for her 20-acre Brushy Creek Estate off Augusta Street. The bungalow offers a look deep into Greenville’s past. It was built sometime between 1830 and 1850 by Vardry McBee, who owned mills for making paper, cotton and wool, two tanneries and gold mines and is most commonly referred to as the father of Greenville. McBee once owned 11,028 acres – all the land in what is now the city of Greenville. He gave the land for Buncombe Street United Methodist, First Presbyterian, First Baptist and Christ Church. Brushy Creek Estate was his farmhouse, and he was known to hold big barbecues there. When McBee’s son, Alexander, inherited it in 1872, the tract stretched across 692 acres from Augusta Street

This home on Augusta Street was built by Vardry McBee in the 1800s. It's now protected with a conservation easement.
to Grove Road. At one point in the 1920s, during Prohibition, a speakeasy operated from the property. The property remained in McBee’s family until 1923 when Robert Woodside bought 119 acres that included the house. It went back to a McBee descendent for six years until William Jay Iselin, a New York banker who moved his family south during the Depression, bought almost 45 acres. Iselin, who was associated with Woodside Mills, was Cromwell’s father. He died in a crash of a private plane outside Washington, D.C., in 1951. Cromwell and her husband David, also in the textile business, bought the house in the mid-1960s. Cromwell has quite a historic past herself. John Jay, the first chief justice of
Brushy Creek Estate
Chanticleer Golf Course: 12th hole
the United States Supreme Court, is a direct antecedent on her father’s side; Benjamin Franklin on her mother’s. Her brother, John Jay Iselin, was a leader in public television broadcasting. She’s been involved in many of the civic efforts that have made Greenville and the Upstate what they are today: Conestee Foundation, Naturaland Cromwell Trust, Trees Greenville, Falls Park on the Reedy and was one of the investors in the consortium that assembled and bought the property where RiverPlace was built. At 75, she’s a regular tennis player and professional artist. Her breezeway is her usual studio. Cromwell was four when her family moved to the McBee house. Walking the property with her is a guided tour through the lives of a spirited family. She points out where she and her four siblings ice skated (“two weeks about now each year”), where the chicken coop was and the barn. Picnic rock and the copperhead garden. A gristmill once operated toward the back of the property, across Brushy Creek from what is now the 12th hole of Chanticleer Golf Course. They grew soybeans and corn, raised pigs, chickens and cows and swam in a pool filled with frigid water from Brushy Creek. There are fox on the property and a family of owls, coyotes and muskrats and hawks. Developers have made their way down her long unpaved driveway many times. “They’d say, ‘lady, we could make you a lot of money,’” Cromwell said. And her response every time was “It’s not for sale to be developed.” She once had four gardens and shared vegetables with practically every one she knew. She and her husband raised their two daughters there. He died in 1985;

the daughters live outside the state. Twenty acres and a historic house are a lot to keep up. The pastures have grown up, the house needs work. Cromwell bought a house on Southland, but before she would think about putting the house on the market, she wanted to be sure the property was protected. In December, she signed the paperwork for a conservation easement, which will be held by Upstate Forever. Wyche said it is not the usual business of his organization to hold easements for smaller tracts and homes, but the McBee property is extraordinary and significant. “It gives you a sense of what it was like,” he said. Michael Bedenbaugh, executive director of the Palmetto Trust for Historic Preservation, was involved in executing the conservation easement and will serve as a consultant on preserving the house. “These sorts of properties help build

strong community – to give them a sense of place. They are irreplaceable,” Bedenbaugh said. Even though there are tax incentives for protecting the land, Cromwell estimates the easement cuts the value of the property by 70 percent. To her, that is immaterial. There are many uses remaining for the next owner – a bed and breakfast, some sort of public amenity, a private home. “I feel very fortunate to have lived here,” Cromwell said. “I’ve had my turn. It’s time for someone else to come see what they can do with it.” Con t a c t Ly n R i d d l e a t 6 7 9 -1 2 5 0 o r l r i d d l e @ g re e n v i l l e j o u r n a l . c o m .

There’s room for plenty of viewpoints here Faith conference gives a voice to all sides by nichole livengood | contributing
“Thoughts, Words, and Deeds” will be the theme for the third annual Engaging Faith Conference presented by Greenville’s Nexus Center and Furman University’s Office Chaplain.
The faith conference will be held on the campus of Furman University Friday and Saturday and is once again bring nationally respected speakers from diverse perspectives to the Upstate to challenge people to think about their faith and encourage them to address faith’s deep issues. More than 150 people attended last year’s event, including pastors, lay people, students, therapists and
community members of all ages and a wide range of religious affiliations. “Given that diversity studies in Greenville have shown that we are more divided along the lines of religion than race, opportunities such as the Engaging Faith conference provide places for people to come together and explore the deep issues of faith with mutual respect. This sort of exploration can actually help create understanding
and connection throughout our community,” says Susan Stall, Executive Director of Greenville’s Nexus Center. NEXUS is a spiritual connecting center dedicated to cultivating spiritual awareness by presenting and promoting conferences, workshops, and retreats that will appeal to people seeking a deeper connection to the Sacred. Alan W. Jones and Lillian Daniel will be this year’s guest speakers.

Schools were closed for five days because of snow in December and January. Students will have to make up three days -- April 1, April 4 and June 2 -- because those days were already built into the school calendar. Three new schools will be needed by 2025 to cope with enrollment growth, according to an updated long-range facilities plan approved by the Greenville County Schools board Tuesday night. The plan calls for a new middle school and an addition to Woodmont High by 2015 to cope with overcrowding. The other two new schools called for in the plan are a high school in southern Greenville County and a middle school in the district’s northern end. The annual update looked at birth rates, planned subdivisions, school program changes and the economy. Included in the plan is the conversion of an expanded Rudolph Gordon Elementary to a K-8 school and additions to seven other elementary and high schools. The new middle school would be built on the campus of the old J.L. Mann by 2015. A motion to delete that school from the long-range facilities plan was defeated. A 400-seat addition to Woodmont High is also planned during that time frame. The long-range facilities plan has a $226.7 million price tag. The board did not approve financing for any of the plan. Contact Cindy Landrum at 679-1237 or clandrum@greenvillejournal.com. The next Committee of the Whole meeting will take place Tuesday, March 8 at 9 a.m. at the district Central office.

basketball player and Daniel High School boy’s basketball coach Tony Christie pleaded no contest to misdemeanor third-degree assault and battery in connection with an assault of a 16-year-old female student in his office last October. As part of the plea agreement, Christie agreed to permanently surrender his South Carolina teacher’s certificate. Christie was originally charged with second-degree assault and battery, also a misdemeanor. The girl was working under Christie’s supervision as the teacher’s assistant for the class period during which the incident occurred. Thirteenth Circuit Solicitor Walt Wilkins said that while Christie did not admit guilt with the no contest plea, it has the same legal effect as a guilty plea. Christie was sentenced to 30 days in jail or a $500 fine. The plea also prohibits Christie from volunteering at any state public school. His name will be reported to a national registry for people who are no longer allowed to teach. A GREENVILLE MAN faces 84 criminal

REEDY SQUARE BEGINS SEARCH FOR DIRECTOR REEDY SQUARE, the tourism magnet on the banks of the Reedy River in downtown Greenville, is looking for an executive director. A national executive search firm is helping the nonprofit group Dream Big Greenville look for a person who will put a face on the project and help raise the last bit of money needed to bankroll the project, said Paul Wickensimer, Greenville County Clerk of Court and chairman of the nonprofit group. Wickensimer told Greenville City Council members at a Tuesday work session the group hopes to have a chief executive officer hired in July. The group has raised $15.3 million in gifts and pledges so far, leaving about $8 million to go. The group has received two pledges of $500,000 each and two more for $250,000. The county has pledged $5 million in restaurant tax money and the city has pledged $3.5 million in accommodations taxes once organizers of the project raise 85 percent of the money needed to construct the facility. Wickensimer said it has taken the group longer to raise the money than it thought it would because of the economy and some competing capital projects in the community. “We’re looking to continue to
make good progress,” he said. Wickensimer said Reedy Square would target the 23 million people who live within 200 miles of Greenville. Dream Big Greenville will be a “game-changer” for the region, he said. Organizers said Reedy Square, which will be built at River and Academy streets, will complement Main Street and Falls Park and could also spur westerly movement up the river. The facility is expected to be open seven days a week. The outdoor space will be available 24-hours a day, seven days a week. There will be displays on the area’s assets, include gallery space for local artists, bike rentals, a café and an adventure concierge to help visitors set up half-day or full-day trips. About 165,000 visitors a year are expected to visit Reedy Square once it’s built. Supporters would like to start construction next year. – Cindy Landrum

Bob Jones University has consolidated its kindergarten, elementary,
middle school and high school programs under a single entity, Bob Jones Academy. The university said the combination as BJA makes it the largest private school in the Carolinas. David Fisher, provost of the university and interim administrator of the academy, said Daniel Nelson will become administrator this summer. Nelson, who holds bachelor and master’s degrees from Bob Jones in Bible, is working toward a doctorate in education from BJU. Nelson has been administrator at Colonial Christian School in Indianapolis. “His professional experience coupled with his educational background makes him uniquely qualified to handle the challenges of a consolidated academy that includes child care through 12th grade,” Fisher said. Fisher said because the elementary, middle and high school started at different times, they evolved with separate administrations, policies, communications and calendars. He said the time had come to bring them together under a single administration. The high school opened in 1927 as a boarding school but has not boarded students for many years. The middle school opened in 1952 and the elementary school in 1970. No jobs will be lost immediately and Nelson is a staff addition, but over time cost savings are expected, Fisher said. But, he added, “We are not doing this for financial reasons.” “The shared resources of the consolidated academy will enable BJA to bolster its commitment to the parents we serve, the students who attend BJA and the community in which we live,” he said. Fisher was introduced Monday at open house. The school also unveiled its new BJA logo.

MARK SILJANDER, former congressman from Michigan, believes a “deadly misunderstanding” has resulted in friction between Christians and Muslims. In a speech last week at Furman University, Siljander spoke about his book “A Deadly Misunderstanding,” published in 2008 and a bestseller on Amazon. Siljander, who for a year was a delegate to the United Nations, said he was once a “strong evangelical Zionist Christian” but now describes himself as “a struggling follower of Jesus.” His journey started at a national prayer breakfast while he was still in office. When he realized that the Quran had been read at the breakfast, he sent a letter to the head of the prayer breakfast, wanting to know why this “book of the devil” was read at the Christian event. He has gotten opinions and insight from scholars all over the world including Oxford, the Vatican and Muslim schools to collaborate on his
findings as he worked on the book for about 10 years. His most challenging part of publishing the book was trying to present it to an audience of both Christians and Muslims. Siljander said, “Being able to attract a majority of [both groups] and being able to attract at least a majority of them to this new exciting common ground we’ve discovered between each other.” In July 2010, Siljander pleaded guilty to obstructing justice and serving as an unregistered agent for the Islamic American Relief Agency, a group the federal government says has terrorist ties. He could be sentenced to 15 years in prison and a $500,000 fine. He also is the founder and chairman of the board of Trac5, whose primary initiative is to develop mutual respect, understanding and trust between Muslims and Christians. “The thing is that we’re on a spiritual journey, not a physical one,” he said.

B u s i n e s s Young adults are potential consumers of news when it is presented the way they want it: in short bursts by contemporaries with an attitude and available whenever they want it on their smart phones, digital readers or computers, said Douglas J. Greenlaw, who originated OneMinuteNews.com and raised millions in start-up money. The newscasts are refreshed every 15 minutes. A click away is the social networking application where users can build a profile page, drag theirs from Facebook and do pretty much everything they do on that popular site. The site is interactive to allow users an opportunity to participate in polls, discuss stories and contribute to news gathering. Regular bloggers write about matters of interest from the Gen Y perspective. “The social networking side is key. These young people like to talk to each other,” Greenlaw said. “When you come to OneMinuteNews.com, you’ll reach a newscast, and you touch on breaking news, sports, entertainment. There are about six buttons you can go to. Each button represents 60 seconds worth of content.” But Greenlaw said it differs from social networking because the site has content. “Our content is news 24/7, news for young people, constructed by, programmed by, live-anchored by Generation Y for Generation Y between the ages of 21 and 34.” There is nothing like it, and Greenlaw is convinced OneMinuteNews.com will be a household name and profitable within a year. “It could be the next MTV,” said Greenlaw, who helped transform MTV Networks from “an entrepreneurial grab bag kind of place and institutionalized it into a mainstream of Madison Avenue.” Greenlaw’s experience includes executive positions at other online and TV en-
c o v e r
terprises. He was chief operating officer of Greenville’s Multimedia Inc., and he is one of the founders of Community Journals, which publishes the Greenville Journal Greenlaw and Spartanburg Journal. To get an idea of what a newscast will be like, said Greenlaw, think of Jon Stewart at 28 having gone into journalism instead of comedy. “That’s the sort of attitude our anchors will have. It will be spicy. It will be fast, furious and it will not be political. No right wing, no left wing.” The Generation Y preference for news in “short pieces” applies as well to advertising, Greenlaw believes. “When you go to CNN, AOL, Yahoo, all the big boys, you get their 30-second TV commercial. It is 30 seconds before you get what you want. With us, it is three seconds to 15 seconds in length at the longest, and it is all video. No banner advertising.” Greenlaw is going to “pick and choose the coolest advertising. My research has shown that they (Gen Y) would prefer to have no advertising. But they say we’ll accept advertising, just don’t smash us in the face with it. These 15-second ads, they are fine with. Just don’t run AARP ads.” Gen Yers may want attitude, but they don’t want blah, blah, blah, said Greenlaw. “They say tell me like it is. Don’t B.S. me. Give it to me fast and furious and just the highlights. I will figure out the rest on my own.” Greenlaw assembled a staff of 25 journalists from around the country, all in the Gen Y age bracket, to produce OneMinuteNews from a 5,000-square-

foot newsroom and studio at the Innovate Building on River Street. “We have all the news sources that any of the heavyweights have. It will just be edited differently, and it will be presented a lot differently than, say, Brian Williams on the evening news. News director George Alexander, a veteran of Fox and CNN news in Atlanta, said the newscasts are “anchor driven. Personality is encouraged. Attitude is encouraged.” The staff will feature angles in news events that relate to their audience, he said. For example, reporting on the upheaval in the Middle East could be on the high percentage of young people in the population and how the Internet has weakened dictatorships. “As a backpack journalist, I want to bring people into the story rather than just tell them the story. I want my generation to understand why the news is important and why it matters to us,” said anchor Yasmin Vossoughian. The presentation, Alexander said, is more free-flowing than network and cable news. The sets are unpretentious, and the anchors dress casually. No ties, no hairspray, no heavy makeup. “All natural,” said Greenlaw. “These are bright young journalists. It is not the Fox model of show me the beautiful blond. They are nice looking people, don’t get me wrong, but we are not going for cleavage and short skirts.” Greenlaw said OneMinuteNews has a technological advantage because it is tailored for small screens. “The difference between us and others is that normally a Web site is for the computer. They take it and squeeze onto the mobile. We are treating ours to be mobile ready and adapting it to the computer. Mobile is our focus.” Greenlaw is confident OneMinuteNews will fill an advertising void through disciplined focus on adults between 21 and 34, who are not reading newspapers and are abandoning TV and thus putting themselves out of sight of advertisers who need that age market. And he is betting he is right that young people are interested in news and have been getting it from several sources, just not from the traditional ones. “They get it everywhere. They get it on their home page, like Yahoo, AOL or Google. They get it from Jon Stewart, from Jay Leno, David Letterman.” C o n tact Di ck Hu gh e s at dh u gh e s@

He's a winner, yes he is by charles sowell | Staff
In Daytona 500 winner Trevor Bayne’s family, racing is in the blood. The 20-year-old Bayne’s grandfather, William Bayne, raced in the Upstate circuit for years both against Eddie Hawkins and as a member of Hawkins’ racing team, the now retired veteran racer said. “Trevor’s daddy, Rocky, and his brother both played with my boy around the shop when there were kids,” Hawkins said. Both Baynes graduated from Hillcrest High School and lived in Simpsonville. William worked for J.D. Hollingsworth when he wasn’t racing. Back in those days racing was a family affair, Hawkins said. And it remains true today with Trevor who won the nation’s oldest, biggest stock car race just one day after his 20th birthday. Bayne is a young 20, scarcely needing to shave once a week. He celebrated his birthday the night before the big race with the
combined Roush Fenway Racing and Wood Brothers teams that were behind his winning car. Fame struck home quickly for the young racer. When he went to Bayne bed on Sunday he had 6,000 followers on Twitter. When he woke up Monday there were 21,000. According to reports from Knoxville, where most of the Bayne family lives today, Trevor started his love affair with speed at an early age. He had a dirt bike with training wheels at the ripe old age of three. The training wheels came off at age four and the youngest of the racing Baynes soon graduated to go-cart racing. One of Trevor’s treasured possessions is a photo of his grandfather helping him work on his racing go-cart. William Bayne died in the late 1990s, Hawkins said. “I was a pallbearer at the funeral and I met Trevor then, of course he was little,” he said.
Trevor’s dad, Rocky, at one time owned the Bayne’s Hooters Pro Cup racing team and was crew chief for his son. “He’s never missed a lap on the track,” Trevor said of his father. Hawkins, who retired from racing in 1983 after hitting the circuit since the late 1960s, said Trevor’s granddad was a fierce competitor. “I raced against him many times through the years before he retired and started helping me.” The youngest Daytona winner seems to have inherited that competitive streak. “We have always had speed in our family,” Trevor told a Knoxville television station. Trevor worked his way through the various lower-level racing circuits until at age 15 he moved out of his family’s Knoxville home and moved to Mooresville, N.C., to pursue a career with Dale Earnhardt Inc. as a driver in the big time. “Whey I first moved (to North Carolina), I had an apartment and then my crew chief would actually have to come pick me up because I didn’t have a driver’s license,” Trevor said. In 2009 DEI had to let Bayne go because there was no sponsor to fund his

ride. It was the first time in the young man’s career that he was out of racing. It proved to be short-lived, however. A trip to Florida connected the young diver with Michael Waltrip Racing (MWR) and that led to a commitment to a multi-race deal with the company and then on to Daytona where he raced as part of the Nationwide Series. Bayne said he’s not moving up to the Winston Cup series, yet. The premier racing circuit is where the cream of the stock car community pits their skills
against one another. He’d like to drive the rest of the year with Nationwide and see where that takes him, Daytona win notwithstanding. Speaking on CNN on Monday, Bayne said, “I never thought in a million years we were gonna win our first (big) race. It’s incredible.” The young driver took home a purse valued at $1.4 million and said he wasn’t sure what he would do with the money. “I don’t know if I’ll splurge. I am definitely not putting it up for retirement yet. I
c o v e r
am going to stay around for a while.” Bayne’s parents Rocky and Stephanie were in the stands cheering their son on to victory. The Wood Racing team last won at Daytona in 1976 when Spartanburg’s David Pearson took the checkered flag. Bayne’s car carried decals honoring the racing veteran for his induction into the racing Hall of Fame. Pearson said, “Yeah, I was listening to it on the radio in the car. That’s good. I’m proud of them. I figured they had a chance
after seeing that boy race in the 150s (Gatorade Duel). I talked to him (Bayne) this morning. I told him to keep his head straight and not to do anything crazy. I told him to stay relaxed. That’s the thing; stay relaxed. I knew he would because he was relaxed in the qualifier. I’m proud of him. I don’t understand what has taken them so long to return to Victory Lane. The car has always been capable.” Contact Charles Sowell at 679-1208 or cso we l l @ gre e n vi l l e j o u rn al .co m.

Partnership turns office into art gallery by cindy landrum | Staff
Merge,
a
Greenville
web
development company, had already demonstrated its support of local artists when it created an application to help people map out which artist studios they wanted to visit during the Metropolitan Arts Council’s Open Studios. Now, it’s turning its office space into a gallery. “There’s a strong tie between business development and investment in the arts,” said Charles Ratterree, the company’s chief operating officer. When the company moved to the Next Innovation Center from North Street in downtown Greenville, it decided to design its new space so the company could host exhibitions of local artists’ work, Ratterree said. “As a community we’re fortunate to have so many talented practicing artists,” said Ratterree, who along with Merge President Adam Landrum are
on the MAC board of directors. Artists from ArtBomb provided the art during the first year the company was in its new space. Greenville artists Lynn Greer and Liz Rundorff Smith will take over the space for an exhibit, “Space + Place,” which runs from March 3 through May 6 in Merge’s space at next, 411 University Ridge, Suite 225. The opening reception is March 3 from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. After the opening reception, the exhibit is available for viewing by appointment by calling either artist. Ratterree said Merge hopes to have new exhibitions quarterly. “All of us at MAC hope that Merge’s commitment will serve as an impetus for other young entrepreneurial companies to embrace Greenville’s cultural Ethridge community,” said MAC Executive Director Alan Ethridge.

Greer said Richard Florida’s book, “The Rise of the Creative Class,” talks about towns and cities can grow only if they have a creative class of citizens such as artists and new technology workers. “New ideas are helping Greenville grow,” she said. Greer is noted for her watercolors of Greenville, while Rundorff Smith’s latest works deal with identity and defining space. “We both border on representational and abstraction,” Rundorff Smith said. The abstraction in many of Greer’s paintings come from the lights in the nightscape photographs of Greenville she bases her watercolors on, while Rundorff Smith abstracts the photographs she works with by shooting through glass such as raindrops on a windshield or through a steamy bathroom window.

On knowing how to forgive It was a Tuesday night, the regular meeting of Boy Scout Troop 56. May 17, 2005. The boys – 11 to 18 – filed into St. Mark United Methodist Church on North Franklin Road to discover someone had broken into the scout room. Equipment and other scout items were heaped in the middle of the room. The place was ransacked. Scoutmaster Paul Russell took inventory. Missing were four tents, two black powder pistols, a black powderhorn, a Buckskin outfit Russell Russell had made and needed for the national Jamboree just a few weeks away. One of the pistols was an antique, worth about $1,400. The other was a replica Russell crafted himself. The pistols were similar to the Kentucky firearms used by Daniel Boone. And they were double loaded with black powder and balls. Oddly, whoever did the crime took awards and certificates from frames on the wall and then hung the empty frames back up. The boys were angry. Who steals from the Scouts? In a church? Who could have done this? How did they know this stuff was in there? So many questions. Russell called the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office. A report was filed. And everyone went about their lives.
Russell quickly made a new buckskin outfit for the Jamboree and continued to lead the troop. Scouting has been in his life since 1959 when he joined the Cub Scouts in Providence, R.I. He is an Eagle scout, as is his 26-year-old son, and has been a scoutmaster in Greenville County since 1973. Russell, 58, is in charge of maintenance for the northern area of the Greenville County Recreation Department. Last Saturday morning, Russell pulled up to the church to meet his scouts for a day of geocaching. Piled up outside the door were most of the things that had been stolen almost six years before. The tents. The awards. The pistols, still loaded. Sitting out in the open beside the church. The buckskin
and a few items Russell considers insignificant were still missing. “I just about cried,” Russell said. “It floored me.” He got out his Blackberry and snapped some pictures. Two notes had been left behind. The person said he had started going to church and felt guilty for what he had done. He wanted to make amends. He wanted forgiveness. He said he couldn’t return all the items because another person with him that day had them. The note was signed. Russell searched his records and never had a scout by that name. And, of course, he doesn’t know for sure whether that is the real name of the person who took the items. “It makes you wonder,” Russell said.

The note of apology.
“Hopefully he did find religion.” All of the boys in the 2005 troop have grown up and moved on, but the lesson wasn’t lost on the members of Troop 56. A wrong was done and then made right – to some extent. A guilty conscience is a powerful thing. And what of Russell? Does he forgive? Here’s what he said: “Yes, ma’am. Wouldn’t do me no good to hold it against him. I do wonder who he was with.” Got a story to inspire, amuse, or
A camping chair and a pair of flint lock pistols and one of the two notes of apology from the thief who took the items. One note was taped to the door of St. Mark United Methodist Church, the other note was taped to a duffle bag containing the pistols and camping gear.
