ORCH RONT F P ROCKIN’ ON THE

A seasoned traveler tells how to cruise Chef Francois Fisera and his wife Karin and son Joseph have just returned from a Mediterranean cruise visiting Italy, Croatia, Greece and Turkey. Joseph, like his parents, has been bitten by the travel bug. At age 17, he has already visited 30 countries.

In this Q&A interview, his father, Chef Francois of the local cooking school, Fleur De Lys Home Culinary Institute, shares with our readers his advice on how to get the most from your first — or next — luxury cruise.

Q. What should you look for in choosing a cruise line and how can you tell if the ship will be all the line claims it is?

A. Bonjour, Jerry. That’s an excellent question. There are cruise lines for every possible budget. Inside cabin, no window, are at the rock bottom possible price. The best available are “Owner Suites” or 1st Class. Different cruise lines are more kid friendly than others, while some offer unique services for older clients or passengers traveling as a couple or group. Find one that fits your needs.

Q. You hear stories about cruises that end badly. What health conditions should you consider, particularly if you are older and may have chronic health issues?

A. Every cruise has a doctor on duty 24 hours a day with a medical office and nurses. If you plan to go ashore, there are helpful guidelines in brochures to make you aware of walking great distances, rocky terrain or other conditions to help you decide which excursion would work best for you.

All cruise lines are wheelchair and handicap accessible, including special seating in dining areas, doorways and rest rooms.

As always, there is a team

Enjoying dinner on board the Norwegian Jade are Joseph Fisera, his father Francois, and mother Karin, their friends Christina, Mr and Mrs. LeSage and the ship’s Hotel Director Jean Michel. Cruise passengers are pampered with gourmet food.

member to personally assist you with special requests.

Q. In view of stories about some lines, how can you be sure a cruise company is reliable and will take good care of you?

A. John Steinbeck once wrote, “A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.”

With that being said, as with any trip, things happen. Cruise lines go well above and beyond the call of duty as far as their crew members are concerned.

Their first priority is your safety and well being.

Before any cruise is allowed to leave port, at the start of the cruise, there is a mandatory “drill” for passengers and crew. This ensures that if something should happen, each passenger can quickly and safely head to their designated life boat stations.

As a thank you for the crew, an optional service charge of just $12 a day is added to a passenger’s bill.

Additional tips for those special crew members who make a trip even that more special is also nice.

The housekeeper usually receives $100, the butler $50 and the Concierge $50.

Gifts for the hotel director, captain and head chef are always greatly appreciated.

Q. What amenities might a traveler request in booking a cruise, such as a tour of the bridge, an opportunity to eat at the captain’s or chef’s table, etc.?

A. If you want to be invited to the Captain’s Table, men should bring a tuxedo and women an evening gown. A request list for an invitation is readily available. One need only to speak with the hotel director.

For the special Chef’s Table there is a small fee and

seating is limited. The hotel director will be more than happy to accommodate your special requests.

Q. Are expensive first class accommodations worth the additional expense?

A. Definitely. Even though you will spend time on deck, on shore and at special events on the ship, it is so relaxing to sip coffee on a balcony in the morning and view the fabulous scenery.

The best advice on a cruise is to take good care of the crew members who take such good care of you.

2. The smarts to build relationships with business owners and entrepreneurs.

COUCH THEATER -- DVD PREVIEWS PICKS OF THE WEEK “The Other Woman” (PG-13) -- Three women team up for slapstick revenge when they realize they are being strung along by the same guy. Cameron Diaz plays a super-busy, extra-classy Manhattan lawyer who tries to surprise her boyfriend, but ends up finding out he’s married.

The cheated wife (Leslie Mann of “This Is 40,” “Knocked Up”) confronts and then befriends Diaz. Together they discover that Mann’s husband (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau from “Game of Thrones”) is cheating on both of them with a voluptuous beach bunny (Kate Upton).

This might not be the hilarious and empowering ladies-get-revenge the producers had in mind. While Diaz and Mann try to bring balance between warmth and goofy comedy, the script and the direction just don’t support them.

“Noah” (PG-13) -- The Bible story of Noah and the Ark gets a different spin in this somewhat darker and grungier retelling. Russell Crowe plays Noah with gravel-voiced conviction. He receives visions from the silent “creator” who seems to give him instructions. Noah puts together the boat, rounds up the animals and fights off hordes of enemies -- all with a little help from giant rock monsters who used to be angels.

Darren Aronofsky handles the material as reverently as he can. The movie tries to fill in the gaps while pleasing both devout and secular audiences. There are some genuine thrills in the film, as well as some truly impressive special effects.

“Lullaby” (R) -- Jonathan (Garrett Hedlund) left his family years ago to pursue a music career out in California, and now he’s come back to New York City for his father’s final days. Dad (Richard Jenkins) has decided he wants to be pulled off life support after a very long battle with cancer. Now the whole clan has a lot of feelings to work out and only 48 hours to do it. Jonathan finds some peace when he meets Meredith (Jessica Barden), a terminally ill teen who teaches him a few things about living with death.

Russel Crowe as Noah

“Five Dances” -- Chip (Ryan Steele) is talented, young, broke and all but alone in New York City. He’s in a small dance troupe rehearsing five classical pieces of choreography, dedicating himself to the art while still receiving phone calls from his alcoholic mother, begging or demanding that he return to Kansas or else she’ll follow him to the city. Chip has a connection with one of the other dancers, but he doesn’t how to react to it. The driving force of this film is the expert dancing -- shot almost entirely in a small dance studio with natural lighting and minimal schmaltz.

TV RELEASES “Midsomer Murders, Set 24” “Mystery Science Theater 3000: XXX” “Teen Titans Go: Couch Crusaders Season 1 -- Part 2” “My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic: The Keys of Friendship” “Bubble Guppies: Get Ready for School” (DVDs reviewed in this column will be available in stores the week of July 28, 2014.)

Happiness May Affect Mobility Seniors who

The research doesn ’t prove that happine ss extends mobility, but suggests a link betwe en enjoyment of life and a more active and he althier old age. Researchers tracked 3,200 people aged 60 for eight years. Th e participants answere d questions about their well-being, energy lev els, enjoyment of life, ab ility to do day-to-day activities and how fast the y walked. Only 4% of the people who enjoyed life developed proble ms with daily activities, compared to 17% of those who enjoyed life the last.

“Lose 2 Inches From Your Waist, Hips or Thighs in 32 Minutes…Guaranteed!”

(Non Invasive Body Sculpting) What were you goals at the beginning of the year? Have you met your goals?

Are you moving in the right direction?

Is it hard to stay on track?

Losing “stubborn fat” is hard and as you get older -- it just gets harder and harder. You might go to the gym five days a week, sweat on the treadmill for an hour, and see maybe a pound or two drop in a month. Is that really worth your time?

Or… imagine going to a medical facility, laying down, spending 35 minutes relaxing, then getting up and finding out you’ve lost two inches around your waist. Which do you prefer? What if you could keep doing that and losing more and more fat until you looked like you did years ago?

If you have any interest in this and how it works when it comes to inch loss, you should stop what you’re doing

and call the office for an appointment immediately. This new treatment technology uses a special light therapy to trick your mitochondria (in your fat cells) to release their fat content.

If you eat better, drink plenty of water, stay away from sugars, and carbohydrates, and this can lead to permanent fat loss without surgery.

Here’s a heads up. If you have tried liposuction in the past - you know that when you “regain the weight” it goes to different places-making your body look distorted and then unfortunately, you’re back to where you started, only worse.

With this technology we don’t destroy your fat cells. What we do is we simply drain the contents of the fat cells so you lose the inches and look good again.

TRAVELIN’ WITH THE CHRONICLE

Ukrainian journalists visit the site of where a bloody war began Over the next few weeks, MacLeod and Jerry Bellune will take you along on their adventures to exciting places where history was made in our state. You may follow their footsteps on weekend adventures of your own.

M

Fort Sumter, S.C.

ore than 40 years after my promise to go with MacLeod to Fort Sumter, I kept my word.

When our journalist friends from Ukraine came to visit, they were intrigued with the history of America’s two centuries of fighting for freedom and liberty.

Ukrainians have had their own problems with foreign invaders, man-made famines and starvation and intolerable hardships under the Soviet tyranny.

The written history of their country is longer than ours and just as dramatic.

When we asked if they wanted to see where the War for Southern Independence began, they readily agreed. Early the next morning, all seven of us crowded into our van and struck out for Charleston.

Fort Sumter was built in 1829 as an island fortification to guard Charleston harbor and can be reached only by tour boat.

The unpleasantness

Construction of Fort Sumter was still underway when South Carolina seceded from the Union on December 20, 1860.

Although Charleston was a major port, only two Union companies were stationed at Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie. Recognizing that Moultrie was vulnerable to a land assault, Maj. Robert Anderson abandoned it for the more easily defended Fort Sumter.

South Carolina’s militia

The federal government started building Fort Sumter in 1829 to guard the port of Charleston.

seized the city’s other forts, leaving Fort Sumter as the lone federal outpost.

With President Abraham Lincoln’s inauguration in March 1861, the situation escalated. Knowing Anderson’s men were running out of supplies, Lincoln announced his intention to send three unarmed ships to relieve them.

South Carolina had declared that resupplying the fort would be seen as an act of aggression. On April 11, Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard de-

manded that Anderson surrender the fort but the major refused.

Beauregard’s men opened fire on the fort shortly after 4:30 a.m. April 12, 1861.

U.S. Army Captain Abner Doubleday — later famous for the myth that he invented baseball — ordered the first shots in defense of the fort a few hours later.

Beauregard’s 19 coastal batteries unleashed a punishing barrage, eventually firing an estimated 3,000 shots in 34 hours. By Sat-

NOW ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS

urday, April 13, cannon fire had broken through the fortress’s five-foot-thick brick walls, causing fires inside.

Running out of ammunition, Anderson surrendered shortly after 2 p.m.

No Union troops had been killed during the bombardment, but two men died the following day in an explosion that occurred during an artillery salute held before the U.S. evacuation. The bombardment of Fort Sumter would play a major part in triggering the Civil War. In the days following the assault, Lincoln issued a call for Union volunteers to quash the rebellion, while more Southern states including Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee cast their lot with the Confederacy.

There were no casualties during the bombardment but during the evacu-

ation, a Union soldier was killed and another mortally wounded in an accidental explosion during a planned 100-gun salute.

Confederate troops took over Fort Sumter for nearly four years, resisting bombardment by Union forces before abandoning it as Union Gen. William T. Sherman’s forces approached and captured Charleston in February 1865.

After the war, Fort Sumter was restored and manned during the Spanish-American War in 1898, World War I and World War II. Going by boat

Fort Sumter was first built after the War of 1812 with the British ended in 1815.

The fort was one of nearly 50 forts built as part of coastal defenses. The three-tiered, five-sided fort was designed to guard access to Charleston Harbor.

Years ago, when we missed the boat, there was only one tour a day.

This time of year, the tour boats leave three times a day from Liberty Square downtown and from Patriots Point at Mt. Pleasant.

It’s a Dog’s Life

By Scoop Bellune Memory Loss “Doc!” the elderly man yelled. “I’ve lost my memory!”

“Calm down, sir. When did this happen?”

The man looked at him, puzzled. “When did what happen?”

Job Interview Nightmares The following are “actual” post-interview excerpts collected from middle managers who, needless to say, probably did not hire any of the people mentioned here: “Applicant stretched out on the floor to fill out the job application.”

“She wore a Walkman and said she could listen to me and the music at the same time.”

“A balding candidate abruptly excused himself.

Returned to office a few minutes later, wearing a hairpiece.”

“Applicant asked to see interviewer’s resume to see if the personnel executive was qualified to judge the candidate.”

“Applicant announced she hadn’t had lunch and proceeded to eat a hamburger and french fries in the interviewer’s office wiping the ketchup on her sleeve.”

“Stated that, if he were hired, he would demonstrate his loyalty by having the corporate logo tattooed on his forearm.”

“Interrupted to phone his therapist for advice on answering specific interview questions.”

“When I asked him about his hobbies, he stood up and started tap dancing around my office.”

“At the end of the interview, while I stood there dumbstruck, he went through my purse, took out a brush, brushed his hair, and left.”

“Applicant pulled out a Polaroid camera and

snapped a flash picture of me. Said he collected photos of everyone who interviewed him.”

“Said he wasn’t interested because the position paid too much.”

“During the interview, an alarm clock went off from the candidate’s briefcase. He took it out, shut it off, apologized and said he had to leave for another interview.”

“A telephone call came in for the job applicant. It was from his wife. His side of the conversation went like this: “Which company? When do I start?

What’s the salary?” I said, “I assume you’re not interested in conducting the interview any farther.”

Ex-Advertising Exec Two advertising executives were having lunch and talking. The young exec trainee said to the older, wiser man, “Where has Ben Harris been hanging out? I haven’t seen him for a while.”

The senior exec replied, “Haven’t you heard? Ben Harris went to that great ad agency in the sky.”

“Good Lord,” replied the junior man, “You’re kidding me, right? What did he have?”

“Oh, nothing much,” replied the elder exec. “A small toothpaste account and a couple of discount stores, but nothing much worth going after.”

The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above-average drivers.

There is a very fine line between “hobby” and “mental illness.”

People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.

If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be “meetings.”

The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to annoy people who are not in them.

You should not confuse your career with your life.

A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter/ janitor, is not a nice person.

When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command.

Very often, that individual is crazy.

Maypole Dance

The teacher asked the little girl if she was going to the Maypole dance. “No, I ain’t going,” was the reply.

The teacher corrected the child: “You must not say, ‘I ain’t going,’ you must say, ‘I am not going.’ “ And she added to impress the point: Things It Takes Most “I am not going. He is not going. We are not going.

school. He decided to come back to the small town because he could be a big man in this small town. He really wanted to impress everyone. He opened his new law office, but business was very slow at first.

One day, he saw a man coming up the sidewalk. He decided to make a big impression on this new client when he arrived. As the man came to the door, Joe picked up the phone. He motioned the man in, all the while talking. “No. Absolutely not. You tell those clowns in New York that I won’t settle this case for less than one million. Yes. The Appeals Court has agreed to hear that case next week. I’ll be handling the primary argument and the other members of my team will provide support. Okay. Tell the DA that I’ll meet with him next week to discuss the details. “ This sort of thing went on for almost five minutes.

All the while the man sat patiently as Joe rattled instructions. Finally, Joe put down the phone and turned to the man. “I’m sorry for the delay, but as you can see, I’m very busy. What can I do for you?”

The man replied, “I’m from the phone company. I came to hook up your phone.”

My Name is Daniel

A pregnant woman gets into a car accident and goes into a coma.

After nearly six months, she wakes up to find that she is no longer pregnant.

Frantically, she asks the doctor about her baby.

The doctor replies, “Ma’am, you had twins! A boy and a girl. The babies are fine. Your brother came in and named them.”

The woman thinks to herself, “Oh no, not my brother!” Expecting the worst, she asks the doctor, “Well, what’s the girl’s name?”

“Denise,” the doctor says.

The new mother thinks, “Wow, that’s not such a bad name! I like Denise!”

Naming Issues

Marital Accounting A Milwaukee man had been keeping a detailed set of personal record books since he got married in 1949.

One day his wife, transferring his records to a new desk, started thumbing through some of the old accounts.

In the 1949 book, under Non-Recurring Expenses, she found this item: “One Honeymoon.”

Worried that he might have a concussion, she checked him all night.

Every hour, she’d gently shake him and ask, “What’s your name?”

Soon, he began moaning in protest each time she entered the room.

When she went in at 5:00 A.M., she saw something white on his face.

Leaning close, she saw a crayon-scrawled message taped to his forehead.

It read: “My name is Daniel.”
