So, uh ... I never learned how to swim. I’ve lived near water most of my life, Okinawa, Maryland and now Charleston. But I never took the time to learn. It hasn’t stopped me from going as close to the water as possible. Folly Beach is a really great part of town. I was just at Surf Bar last weekend and had a good time. The bartenders there are really friendly. Just don’t ask me to go to the beach.

Food Truck Rodeo tries again
Burlesque show, Christmas in July and fashion and beauty events round out this weekend
J
ust a few more days until I’m on my first family vacation in years. I can’t wait to spend four days in 80-degree weather floating on a lake surrounded by mountains. Those of you who will be in town shouldn’t be jealous, though. There are some cool events coming up that you should check out.
Redo rodeo
Because the last Food Truck Rodeo was a rainy affair, Brick House Kitchen on James Island is inviting the trucks back for the Raincheck Redo Food Truck Rodeo at 5-10 p.m. Friday. There is no charge for admission, and once inside, guests can enjoy live music, art, local vendors and, of course, food from a variety of food trucks. Dogs are welcome, coolers aren’t and parking is free. Call 406-4655 with questions. Brick House Kitchen is at 1575 Folly Road.

Think it’s too hot to run? Runners to attempt 50 miles Waz already plans to make this an annual event, and he’s not stopping there. “Ultra running in South Carolina is slowly picking up the pace,” says Waz. “Very few people know it, but there have already been seven 50Ks here in the Lowcountry since November of 2010, and I am currently planning a 24-hour event in January or February of 2012. “The biggest challenge with ultra running in the Lowcountry is the lack of the ‘mountain’ environment that most people seek out in Ultra events. I think the Lowcountry provides excellent opportunities to see faster 50K, 50-mile and 100mile times.” www.crematorultra.com

This new charity, designed to give underprivileged children an opportunity to enjoy water sports and the natural beauty of the Low-

Tim Waz, owner of Palmetto Running Co. and founder of the Cremator 50-miler, is an avid ultra runner, seen here running in the Rock Creek Chattanooga Stage Race in mid-June. Waz, who created the race partly because he needed to race in July to prepare for a 100-miler in October, is taking other precautions, namely by monitoring hydration at checkpoints. “Individual runners and relay teams will be required to check in prior to the start of the race and weigh in. The runners must check in at aid stations at the following distances: 16, 20, 28, 35, 39, 43 with another weight check at mile 28, 39 and 43,” says Waz. “Runners must maintain a specified weight based on their pre-race original
weight. Runners who fall below the first threshold must remain in the current checkpoint until they get their weight under control.” Waz says if they fall behind at two check points and continue to drop behind, the race director has the right be pull the runner from the course if they are unable to stabilize their weight. Aid stations, he adds, will include cold baths, and cold compresses are available at each aid station should runners begin to show signs of heat exhaustion. At the earliest stages of heatstroke, 911 will be called.
For those more inclined for a 5K closer to Charleston, the 18th annual Isle of Palms Beach Run will be at 8 a.m. Saturday starting on the beach behind The Windjammer. The run, which has been a 4-miler since it’s original incarnation as the Sand Shark Run in 1994, was changed to a 5K largely for computersearch reasons, according to Ben Hull, who organizes the beach run for the Isle of Palms Recreation Department. “When people search for races, they type in 5K, not 4-mile,” says Hull. As of Friday, Hull had about 200 registrants and expects another 100 by race day. The event also includes youth fun runs starting at 9 a.m. Saturday. Packet pickup and late registration will be 4-6:30 p.m. Friday at The Windjammer and 7-8 a.m.

ltra running, basically defined as any distance longer than a marathon, has been slow to take root in South Carolina even as marathon running’s popularity continues to grow. But it’s coming, and this weekend is just one sign of its dawning. Part of the lure of ultra running is doing something that most people think is just flat-out crazy. Running 50 miles, 100 miles, 24 hours. It goes on and on. How about running 50 miles, on the third Saturday in July, in the Lowcountry? Can you say Southern-fried brains? That’s what Tim Waz, owner of the Palmetto Running Co. in Bluffton, has concocted with the aptly named, Cremator 50. The subtitle of the race: “Living in Heaven can be Hell.” The event starts at 7 a.m. Saturday on Hilton Head Island. As can be expected, Waz says only 12 people (it’s not unusual for ultras to have “low” turnout) and five three-member relay teams had signed up as of late last week. No newbies were allowed to be in the individual race.

Director delivers ‘Benefits’ with romantic comedy movie review

F
rom Shakespeare and Austen through Tracy and Hepburn, when it comes to romantic comedies, chemistry is king. It’s one reason the rom-com has long seemed like the toughest code for Hollywood to crack.

That’s another way of saying “Friends With Benefits,” the R-rated romantic delight of the summer, had me the moment Mila Kunis’ character passes a poster for the failed rom-con “The Ugly Truth” and utters this immortal line: “Shut UP, Katherine Heigl, you stupid liar!” “Friends” pairs up Kunis as

‘Captain America: The First Avenger’ Comic book movie delivers fun and deep back story
movie review
T
ready to chase him, because Indiana Jones doesn’t appear to be available, being in the desert, digging for trinkets. Rogers is treated with scorn by his commanding officer, played by the commanding (and funny) Tommy Lee Jones. Rogers is sent on publicity tours, given a silly costume and a red, white and blue shield. But a little interference by a British agent (Hayley Atwell), a little gadget-tinkering by Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper) and a USO tour to the front lines means this Captain soon will show his mettle. Being the hero means the normally jokey Evans isn’t given much funny to say. But he brings a proper earnestness to the character. “There are men laying down their lives. I’ve got no right to do any less than them.” On the face of it, “Captain America” seems like the corniest, most dated of the Marvel superheroes to try and bring to the big screen. One way to get us past that is to frame the story in the Captain’s rediscovery by

Nobody but Jones could drawl about a soldier who will “personally escort Adolf Hitler to the Gates of Hell.” Tucci is marvelous, and as a balance, Toby Jones is brought in as sidekick scientist to Weaving’s perfectly pitched Schmidt. Atwell makes a vivacious love inter-
est, and they even spent the cash to land the voracious Natalie Dormer for a oneoff man-eater scene. It’s too long and it could do with a few more laughs. But then, like Johnston and the movie around him, Evans has so much business and back story to carry that the real marvel of it all is how much fun it actually is. PARAMOUNT PICTURES/AP

Be they an herbaceous parsley pesto with the marinated anchovies, Tuscan meat sauce slow simmered with wild boar or the balanced vinaigrettes dressing the salads, there let your bread linger.

Vegetarians will appreciate soups without meat and simply prepared lasagna ($12). A pasta ($14.50) with shrimp and zucchini venerated at the altar of simplicity. Nicely cooked and seasoned, it brought equal measures of quality ingredients and skilled cooking to the table. Throughout all of this, we experienced attentive service. We saw owner Massi, as he is affectionately called, embark on a mission of meeting and greeting the guests. We observed regulars take their
seats at the bar, their vinos and birrs known to the bartender. A small wine bar can easily get slammed. There are those guests for whom the land of the wine will define their order and they plan to linger; others, on their way to another event want hurried attention. Many are those who miss the cooking of Sarrocchi at Il Cortile del Re and Pane e Vino and are coming in for their Northern Italian fix. You must embrace “ino time” when you arrive and plan for intention and attention to serve your dining purposes. Our experience was first rate. Walking into the quirky wine bar that is Osteria la Bottiglia spawns new respect for regional preparations and the wines that love them. It is a spot devoted to drinking and dining with fair prices for both. Reach Deidre Schipani at dschipani@postandcourier. com.

Much praise to restaurant founder (and Summerville’s own) Perry Cuda, once more expanding the bounds of the typical hot dog stand. But the restaurant’s dwelling isn’t the only recent addition. The familiar face in the kitchen belongs to Billy Condon, former executive chef of Atlanticville, the upscale eatery on Sullivan’s Island. And to be, ahem, perfectly frank, it’s not likely that many hot dog joints can boast a chef of Condon’s extract. Yet, there’s Condon working alongside Cuda to build a steady assortment of famous franks, while sallying

For instance: the Bison Sloppy Joe ($7.99), house-ground with chorizo sausage, onions and other seasonings, and crowned with a Guinnessbattered onion ring that actually (and refreshingly) tastes like the Irish beer. The goat cheese and strawberries sandwich ($8.59), the fish tacos (shrimp, mahi, grouper), and sea salt and vinegar fries are three other favorites.

Donavon Frankenreiter Monday and Tuesday at The Windjammer Donavon Frankenreiter began his life in the spotlight as a professional surfer. After signing a sponsorship deal with Billabong as a teenager, Frankenreiter began traveling extensively, which eventually led him to Oahu, Hawaii. It was there that Frankenreiter began renting a room from the parents of fellow surfer and aspiring musician Jack Johnson. The pair struck up an immediate friendship, and Johnson later would produce Frankenreiter’s 2004 self-titled solo debut. His surf-influenced, dance-rock style produced eight albums and several well-received singles, such as “Move by Yourself,” “Life, Love & Laughter” and “Free.”

TAKING TIME/INDEPENDENT When one mentions female pop music singers these days, inevitably thoughts go to acts such as Britney Spears and Katy Perry. While those acts are obviously selling both records and concert tickets, the music produced by their kind doesn’t require a lot of brain power to enjoy. That’s OK though; pop music isn’t normally meant to be cerebral, but occasionally we do see an artist who tries to take it to the next level. Case in point is Haley Dreis, a recent University of South Carolina Honors School graduate who writes pop music that doesn’t leave one longing for an insulin shot. Dreis enlisted the producing talents of former Jump, Little Children frontman Jay Clifford and Slow Runner member Josh Kaler in recording her new CD at the duo’s Hello Telescope studios in Charleston. The music on “Taking Time” is melodic, professionally recorded, incredibly catchy, and, yes, at times thought provoking. Particularly good is “Don’t Keep Loving Me,” which deserves immediate radio airplay. Dreis, 21, has a lovely singing voice (think of a cross between Suzanne Vega and Natalie Maines) that belies her age, as well as a true knack for songwriting. The music on “Taking Time” shows an artist who has found her voice. Hopefully, the music world will take notice as Dreis heads to Nashville to start the next chapter in her musical journey. KEY TRACKS: “Sure Thing,” “Where My Heart Is,” “Don’t Keep Loving Me.”

MERCY BOUND/429 RECORDS It doesn’t really seem like all that long ago that Edwin McCain was performing in bars on the Market downtown with his then-band, Nomadic Logic. In reality, it’s been nearly 20 years since McCain was cutting his teeth in bars for tips. Since then, the Greenville native has had his share of successful albums and singles, most notably “I’ll Be” and “Solitude,” and has toured the world. Fans always have gravitated toward McCain’s radio-friendly brand of rock, sung in his strong, soaring voice. On his latest effort, “Mercy Bound,” the artist demonstrates that he still has some serious songwriting chops. He either wrote or co-wrote more than half of the songs on the new album, while another eight were co-written by producer Maia Sharp. The resulting collection of songs is pretty much what fans have come to expect; upbeat, spirit-lifting tunes sung with passion by McCain. While “Mercy Bound” doesn’t quite live up to earlier releases, such as “Misguided Roses,” there is plenty to like here, most notably “The Boy Who Cried Love” and “Sober.” While he thankfully has not fallen into the trap of recording the same album over and over, McCain’s fans can rest easy that the music on the new album isn’t dramatically different from what they have come to expect. (B) KEY TRACKS: “The Boy Who Cried Love,” “Sober,” “Better Story to Tell.”

EDITOR’S NOTE: We are expanding our music columnists. Jack McCray’s Jazz Beat(s) will print every other week and will focus on the local jazz culture. KJ Kearney’s hip-hop column will print once a month, and focus on hip-hop music and culture. And Joel Frank’s monthly music column will be about local rock and country musicians.
And that’s OK, because for hip-hop to flourish in Charleston as well as all of South Carolina there needs to be at least an open appreciation of both the music and the culture. Hip-hop is not some giant who comes down from the hillside or the clouds to visit town people when he
gets bored. It’s a living, breathing organism that needs to be nurtured in order to grow because we are living and breathing and require the same thing for our survival. Sparing the rod will not help the child in this regard, so let’s roll up our sleeves,

The Drop In is also a favorite hangout for the food and beverage crowd, thanks to the hospitality. “We’re known for offering dollar beer to our food and beverage friends after their shifts,” says Sparks. “We want to show our appreciation for their hard work.”

Jim Victor
Former businessman and Charleston resident Jim Victor thought he was happily going into retirement when an art career happened to him. Art is a bit like love: sometimes it chooses you. Victor openly admits he doesn’t know a lot about the art industry and has never taken a painting class. Academia or not, this 75-yearold abstract expressionist placed second is the Piccolo Spoleto Annual Juried Show last year, and this past year,
he was awarded the Piccolo Spoleto Mayor’s Award for “Best in Show.” The winning painting, titled “Sublime” is a radiant red textured piece that will reside in the mayor’s office for the next year before circulating through city offices. While not traditionally trained, Victor did spend much of his childhood painting and drawing. “I would spend hours sketching and drawing, trying to copy the paintings of Cezanne, Michelangelo and others, whose paintings were depicted in
textbooks and in the library,” says the artist. There will be a reception and exhibit in his honor beginning at 5:30 p.m. tonight at the Michael Mitchell Gallery, 438 King St. Visit www. michaelmitchellcharleston. com.

The vendors selling crepes attracted large crowds Saturday at the opening day of the Charleston Farmers Market at Marion Square.
Feel fashionable at the farmers market
R
ecently a friend of mine was going to be spending a long weekend in Charleston and wanted recommendations of things to do. The first thing I said was the Farmers Market in Marion Square. Her reaction? “Wait ... really?” Yes, really. On Saturday mornings, there is no place downtown with more buzz than the farmers market. For tourists, it’s the perfect opportunity to mix with the locals. It’s also a great place to see a cross-section of Charleston in one place where everyone from young couples pushing kids in baby strollers to hipsters with tattoos can mingle in a fun, relaxing way. You might even spot Mayor Joe Riley or one of the celebrity chefs stocking up for that evening’s menu. And dogs. Lots of dogs in all sizes. The farmers market is very dog friendly.
on the grass with a paper plate of crepes or sifting through a pile of organic green beans, you don’t want to wear clothes that are restrictive or that you’d be afraid to get dirty. This summer, I’ve seen lots of maxi dresses, highwaisted shorts and wedges on women. For men, it’s been wayfarers, fedoras and tank tops. The farmers market has a When I go to the farmbooth that makes the best lemonade anywhere, anoth- ers market, I like to wear a peasant-style top (one of er with authentic beignets my summer staples) that’s and yet another where you can buy hot fresh doughnuts breezy and lightweight, which is ideal for hot, humid sprinkled with powdered summer days.

ACE’S ON BRIDGE By BOBBY WOLFF
© United Feature Syndicate
More games at postand courier. com/ games. Try to familiarize yourself with your opponents’ carding methods. Nevena Senior did so to her advantage on this deal. The popular contract was three no-trump declared by South, most commonly on the lead of a top heart and continuation. Most declarers correctly won the third heart, then took the spade finesse. Next, they played the club ace and a club to the king, but when it turned out that West had the guarded club jack, they could make no more than eight tricks. Senior, too, ducked the first two hearts and won the third, reading the suit to be 4-4 when East encouraged at the first trick but had not produced the jack. She continued with the spade finesse, and next cashed
the ace, in case East had started with the doubleton king. When West discarded a diamond on the second spade, declarer paused to regroup. Had West held five diamonds, she felt that it was at least possible that he would have preferred that attack initially, so she placed him with four of these as well. That left four spaces in West’s hand, which had to be filled by clubs. So, Senior cashed a top club in hand to cater for a singleton jack with East, then successfully finessed dummy’s club eight. After cashing the king, she returned to her hand with the diamond ace and ran the clubs for nine tricks and her contract, as well as most of the matchpoints.

Dessert a sour end to dinners
Take me out to the ballgame D
BY REBEKAH BRADFORD
Special to The Post and Courier
I
t’s halfway through summer, and Head2Head hasn’t featured America’s pastime. Shocking, when you consider that baseball is to summer what college football is to fall. Current trivia champ Helen Gillespie is taking on Tonya Snyder, who’s spending the summer on Sullivan’s Island.
Tonya thinks Hank Aaron should remain the home run king.

EAR ABBY: When I go out to eat with my girlfriends, I usually enjoy myself until it comes time for dessert. Then I get grief if I don’t order any and they do. They’ll say, “Oh, you’re so tiny. You can eat it.” Conversely, if I do order something, they tell me, “Well, I’d love some but my metabolism isn’t as high as yours.” I have never made comments to them about calorie counting, needing to work out or concern about my weight. I feel fitness is a private matter, and I’m not comfortable with mine being the topic of discussion. Is there any way to respectfully and tactfully respond to their comments or redirect the conversation? — TAKES THE CAKE IN
DEAR ABBY FLAGSTAFF, ARIZ. DEAR TAKES THE CAKE: The way you said it in your letter is perfect: “I feel fitness is a private matter and I’m not comfortable with mine being the topic of discussion.” Either state it when they comment on what you have ordered, or say it privately to each of your friends when you’re away from a restaurant. If they are friends, they’ll respect your feelings. Write Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com.
QUESTIONS 1. Where would you find Camden Yard? 2. Whose home run record did Barry Bonds break? 3. Who was the first Major League player to have his number retired? 4. In “Bull Durham,” Susan Sarandon’s character says that the lava lizards of the Galapagos breathe through what? 5. What baseball legend is mentioned in Simon & Garfunkel’s song, “Mrs. Robinson”? 6. Name the player who just celebrated the milestone of 3,000 hits. 7. When was the last time the Chicago Cubs won the World Series? 8. What ballpark has the legendary Green Monster? 9. Who does the designated hitter replace at bat? 10. What comic pair did the famous sketch “Who’s on First”?
HELEN’S ANSWERS
TONYA’S ANSWERS
1. Baseball trivia. Great. I’m going with Philly. 2. Babe Ruth? 3. Shoeless Joe Jackson. 4. Eyelids if I remember right. 5. DiMaggio. 6. I don’t even have a guess. 7. A long time? 8. Boston’s Fenway Park. 9. The catcher. 10. Abbott and Costello.
1. Pretty sure it’s Baltimore. 2. Hank Aaron, but everyone knows Barry Bonds was taking steroids so it shouldn’t count. 3. Babe Ruth. 4. Ears? 5. Joe DiMaggio. 6. I feel like this is something I’ll kick myself over when I hear the answer. 7. 1916? 8. Fenway. 9. Like David Ortiz? He replaces the pitcher. 10. So classic. Abbott & Costello.
CONCLUSION Tonya easily beat Helen, who admitted beforehand that she knew very little about baseball. Still, she gave it her best shot, which Head2Head loves to see. Tonya will return next week to take on a challenger.
