FEBRUARY 23-MARCH 1, 2011 | JoURnAl nEws now 3

Ali and Chad Tumblin celebrated the fourth birthday of their oldest son, Ty, Wednesday.

It’s not overstating the situation to say they’re lucky he’s still alive.

Here’s how Mrs. Tumblin puts it: “To most people food can be a source of healing, but for our family, it can kill.”

Ty was born allergic to milk, nuts, egg, wheat, soy, corn and oats. This is not your everyday allergy. It’s the sort where his throat swells and if he doesn’t get a shot and to the hospital within minutes his throat will close completely.

And it’s not only if he eats foods he’s allergic to. A reaction also can happen if he touches something or someone with food residue.

Imagine.That means most restaurants are off

limits. Parks. Birthday parties. Other people’s homes. Other people’s children. Other people.

Halloween is a complication. Thanks-giving.

Doctors estimate about 8 percent of children have some sort of food allergy and most outgrow them by the time they’re five.

By the time Ty was 2, he had out-grown his intolerance of wheat, soy, corn and oats. It was a time of rejoicing. Christmas 2009 brought cheers from the kitchen as Mrs. Tumblin baked for her family.

“I’m so thankful for the smell of sugar cookies in the air and yesterday

we made Chex mix with his Earth Balance butter,” she said then. “Of course Ty doesn’t eat any of this but his mommy sure does.

That’s right. The whole family is on what they call the Ty diet. It makes a difficult life easier. They don’t have to worry about washing their hands and face every time they eat or touch food. They don’t have to worry about residue on the kitchen table.

For Ty, milk, nuts and egg remain deadly.

Three times, despite all the lengths they have gone through to make the world safe for their son, the Tumblins have had to whip out an EpiPen and inject Ty with epinephrine, a dose that

lasts only long enough to get to the hospital by ambulance.

“Sometimes I get so mad that Ty has to go through this that I just want to lay on my back kicking and screaming and pitch the biggest fit anyone has ever seen,” she said. “I just don’t know how to let out all the fear and frustration I have. It’s not the fact that we can’t go out to eat, or go to birthday parties, eat pizza, enjoy family functions; it’s the fact that these foods could kill Ty.”

Ty, a sweet guy who as a toddler could sing songs on the radio like an adult, takes it all in stride.

“He had to come home from school one day because a little girl sat on his head and it was right after lunch so

there was residue on her pants and he broke out all over,” Mrs. Tumblin said. “I cried like a baby for two hours and he said ‘don’t worry mom, I got to play in the director’s office.’”

There are always complications, unseen hazards.

Just the other day she called a bakery to order vegan cupcakes for his birth-day. No one answered the phone so she went on the website to see what was available. She found out the vegan cupcakes included almonds.

“I would have ordered them and not known,” she said.

Recently, another challenge rose up. Younger son Tanner is too thin. His pediatrician recommended adding to his diet cheese, mayonnaise and eggs.

“Scares me to death,” she said. “Now, I have to face losing my only safe place for Ty, our home.”

That means after each meal Tanner needs a bath, his teeth brushed, all sur-faces sanitized. No kissing, no hugging between the boys.

“How do I not rob Peter to pay Paul?” she wonders.

But here’s what a loving mother says – on Valentine’s Day, by the way – to her sons:

“I love my kids more than anything in this world and whatever I have to do I know is worth it if it makes both of them happy and healthy.”

WORTH THE TRIPThe PoinseTT Passage

The Poinsett Passage walks a tightrope for six miles as it threads its way between the foreboding warning signs posted by the Greenville Water System and the no trespassing signs posted by landowners.

For most of its length the trail runs along the border between North and South Carolina.

The signs are a hangover from the protracted debate over opening water-shed land to even the most benign of uses, through hiking, and homeowners worried about their property values.

But the views of Hogback Moun-tain’s backside make it worthwhile. It is a view seldom seen in a place as pristine as can be found anywhere in Greenville County.

This 6.5-mile section of the planned Palmetto Trail opened in December 2006 and gives hikers the first glimpse at the valley of the North Saluda in the 70 years since the creation of the Poinsett Reservior and its protected watershed.

For the first couple of miles coming out of Orchard Lake Campground the trail parallels Fork Creek Road. It makes for some interesting di-chotomies. To the right the dense forest that makes up the 30,000-acre watershed stretches off into shade-drenched Appalachian profusion.

To the left little mountain home-steads pop up at odd moments along the road until the trail reaches Piney Grove Baptist Church and a huge red

cross seems to spring out of the earth.From here on the trail starts to

wind its way deeper into the woods until it reaches the Melrose Lake area. Here is where high-end homes start to pop up out of the woods and the no trespassing signs become more emphatic. It is where the sounds of nail guns and tree chippers replaces the cries of pileated woodpeckers and squirrels.

Once past Melrose Lake the trail starts a long climb up to the lip of the North Saluda’s headwaters and Hog-back Mountain first becomes visible through the hardwoods.

Hogback’s east and north facing sides are perhaps one of the most photographed in the Upstate. The backside, however, has remained hid-den for decades and gives a radically different view of the iconic mountain.

WSPA’s tower still mars the skyline on the north end of the mountain, but the snow dusted rock walls that are the watershed side of the peak make up for the blinking red lights and steel beams.

From here the trail continues upward until a series of switchbacks and steep climbs and descents into Vaughn’s Gap. From here the trail changes names and becomes the Blue Wall Passage.

It is a long round trip to Vaughn’s Gap but only a 10-mile through hike to the parking area at the Blue Ridge Preserve, located outside of Tryon.

Most hikers who through hike this section park cars at either end and do a key swap along the trail.

Really Gov. Haley?

PA6E SIXVOICES, TO THE PEOPLE,

FROM THE PEOPLE

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 mil-lion budget defi cit now jeopardizing health care services for the state’s disabled and poor.

Haley chose the word “immoral” to describe an off er by South Carolina hos-pitals to increase the taxes they pay – now $264 million a year – to prevent deep cuts to the state’s Medicaid program.

� e 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? � en how about this for immoral: slandering hospital execu-tives 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 defi cit 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 eff ect 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 fi gure cited most often – would actually slice $400 million from the program.

Cuts of that size would have a dramatic ripple eff ect. Rural doctors’ offi ces and small hospitals with disproportionate numbers of Medicaid patients may not survive, meaning lost services and jobs. Emergency room traffi c (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. � e program’s overall caseload has grown by 100,000 people since 2007. � eir 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 require-ments 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 fi led a formal report on the defi cit in November.

Attached were fi ve 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 fi nd out where to lay the blame. Hold up a mirror, senator. � en hand it to the governor. � en, for the sake of us all, work honorably with the new DHHS director and the health care industry to fi nd a path out of the disaster you created.

Spotlight:He's a winner, yes he is

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 cir-cuit 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 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 train-ing 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 vari-ous 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 be-cause 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 Win-ston Cup series, yet. The premier racing circuit is where the cream of the stock car commu-nity 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 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.”

NOW ENTERING THE CRIMINAL'S MIND...

Really? You are stealing party dresses? So goes the

police report from an Augusta St. shop where someone broke

the glass window and took several garments.

Ahh the excuses police of-fi cers have heard. Add “I gotta go!” to the list. A 46-year-old man has been charged with a

break-in at the Hilton Garden Inn. He was found after an

employee of Dick’s Sporting Goods called offi cers when said 46-year-old was hang-

ing out on the store’s loading dock. His excuse? He was

simply wanting to use the back door to get to the restroom.

Call this one a not-so-secret passage-way: A VICTIM

SAYS SHE RETURNED HOME AND FOUND SOMEONE HAD RE-

MOVED AN AIR CON-DITIONING UNIT IN A

BACK WINDOW TO GAIN ENTRY. TWO TELEVI-SIONS WERE STOLEN

ALONG WITH DRAWERS FROM A JEWELRY BOX AND ALL THEIR CON-TENTS, AND A PURSE.

Some say Stone Avenue could be a lot like the West End – a place where families live and hang out, a place filled with shoppers and unique businesses and a place where people intend to go, not just go through.

“Stone Avenue right now is not an attractive place,” said Mike Cubelo, vice president of the North Main Commu-nity Association. “It’s a sad-looking strip of road.”

Some neighborhood residents say a Stone Avenue master plan approved on principle by the city council Monday night will help transform the Stone Avenue area into a dramatically different north end of Greenville.

The plan, which council member Amy Ryberg Doyle called a guide not a man-date, calls for a reduction in traffic lanes from four to three, street-front develop-ment with parking behind businesses, more green space and an emphasis on attracting unique businesses.

But some business owners, especially those located on Stone Avenue’s west end, said they don’t think reducing lanes of travel is needed and could create more traffic problems, not less.

“Traffic behaves like electricity. It will take the path of least resistance,” said Jim Freeland, who owns two buildings on West Stone Avenue. “Taking four lanes to two lanes will have a bad affect on Stone and the surrounding neighbor-hoods.”

David Watson, who owns a finance company on West Stone, said his company has 3,300 active loans and 70 percent of his customers come in once a month to pay their bills.

“Traffic is a nightmare every day,” he said.

Reducing travel lanes would impact a “major artery” between Laurens Road and Furman University, he said.

But Doyle said fewer lanes of traffic would make Stone Avenue safer, not more dangerous. She said a similar “road diet” has helped slow down traffic on East North Street and fewer accidents are occurring there.

“More is not always better,” she said. “If it was, Los Angeles would be a good place to live.”

The master plan took about a year to compile. Several meetings were held in the neighborhood, a “walkability” study was done and a planning firm from Florida designed a vision for the neighborhood.

“This a very long-term vision,” said Jennifer Rigby, development planner for the city.

Doyle said city officials want to make East Stone Avenue attractive to businesses.“That’s the place that’s really struggling,” she said.

Mayor Knox White said West Stone is in the shape it’s in because people have invested there. He said a house that had been vacant for 20 years now houses

a business. The area has attracted offices and professionals.

“It shows that it is possible to change things,” he said. “West Stone is a great model because it says we can do this.”

The corner of Main Street and East Stone Avenue will be key in the revital-ization of East Stone Avenue, the mayor said.

“It will be a long journey, but we’ll get there,” White said. “The plan certainly provides guidance and shows the great potential of what East Stone can be and will be within 10 years, maybe five years, maybe even sooner.”

Rivers Stillwell, an attorney and a West Earle Street resident, called the goals laudatory but said he was con-cerned that the street front development portion would discourage economic de-velopment and help retain the “atrocious architectural inventory” there now.

“West Stone Avenue is a success sto-ry,” he said. “East Stone Avenue is pretty much a disaster area economically.”

Stillwell said the city hopes to see development in the East Stone area, but “right now it’s not walkable because there’s nothing to walk to.”

Bon Secours St. Francis Health System is adding internationally known cancer specialists, expand-ing its cancer treatment facilities, improving patient access to clinical trials and offering specialized treat-ment options in response to a grow-ing demand for cancer treatment in the Upstate.

An integral part of the expansion is the St. Francis Hematology Oncolo-gy Center for the treatment of blood cancers and disorders, which are among the most difficult to diagnose and treat.

Doctors are able to tailor treatment by examining the cancer genes.

Three doctors will lead the center: Dr. Gary Spitzer, one of the primary physician architects of stem cell transplantation at M.D. Anderson Hospital and a doc-tor who helped develop treatment regimes for Hodgkin’s lymphoma now considered standard of care; Dr. Frits van Rhee, an internation-ally recognized specialist in the treatment of multiple myeloma and Castleman’s disease who is known for his work in gene array therapy;

and Dr. Devena Alston, an oncolo-gist with expertise in blood and solid tumors.

“This is a milestone for Greenville and the Carolinas,” said Mark Nantz, chief executive officer for St. Francis.

The St. Francis Hematology On-cology Center and its partner medical practice, Upstate Oncology Associ-ates, have added more than 30 new jobs in the past year.

They expect to add between 50 and 60 new jobs in the next three years.

Since 2000, St. Francis has been involved in more than 500 stem cell transplants.

The hospital offers both au-tologous transplants which use the patient’s own stem cells and alloegenic-related transplants that use stem cells from a patient’s rela-tive. Adult stem cell treatments and research differ from embryonic stem cell research, which has sparked controversy.

From left to right are Dan Duggan, St. Francis COO; medical oncolo-gists Frits van Rhee, MD, Devena Alston-Johnson, MD, and Gary Spitzer, MD, Upstate Oncology Associates; Pearl Harris, Chair, St. Francis Board of Directors; and Mark Nantz, CEO, Bon Secours St. Francis Health System.

Patient volume at the hospital’s infusion center has increased six-fold in the past eight months.

Van Rhee was director of clinical research at the Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy at the Univer-sity of Arkansas, the largest myeloma program in the world, before coming to Greenville.

He said genetic research enables doctors to tailor treatment to the patient because they can identify pa-tients who are at high risk of relapse or who have more aggressive forms of cancer.

He said St. Francis will be the second hematology program in the country to treat patients with gene profiling. The first was at the Univer-sity of Arkansas.

“We want to grow a reputable program,” said van Rhee, who has a nationwide patient base. “We re-ally want it to be a state-of-the-art program.”

He said he hopes the center will perform 100 stem cell transplants the first year. Spitzer said the pro-gram will participate in the most promising clinical trials from some of the major cancer institutions in

the country, offering patients who have run out of other options access to the newest drugs and treatment options.

“It’s a whole new level of care,” Spitzer said. “The bottom line is be-ing treated by the right person vs. the wrong person can be the difference between a cure and no cure.”

Alston said the expansion of the St. Francis cancer program will benefit patients because they’ll be able to get comprehensive care close to home.

In addition to treating their disease, patients will also have help in making whole lifestyle changes, focusing on nutrition and exercise.

Patients also learn to read their own blood test results so they know when things are going well or if a problem is developing.

“It’s a different approach to cancer care. You’re not just treating the dis-ease, you’re empowering the patient,” she said.
