From The Editor Buy Local Promoting local business is as simple as having other company’s business cards or brochures posted on a board in your store. In an effort to promote North Charleston, we are distributing decals that say “Check us out at www.NorthCharleston.sc,” in hopes that local shoppers will visit the site to find local restaurants, clothing, specials, coupons and more. We are doing our part, so please join us, and promote your local merchants, and everyone will benefit!

Top Ten reasons to Think Local in North Charleston Buy Local - Be Local – Help Local Businesses 1. Buy Local -- Support yourself and North Charleston. Many

studies have revealed when you buy from an independent, locally owned business in the North Charleston area, rather than a nationally owned businesses, considerably more of your money is used to make purchases from other local businesses. Local businesses continue to strengthen the economic base of the North Charleston community. These include case studies showing that local North Charleston owned businesses generate a premium in enhanced economic impact to the community and our tax base.

2.Support North Charleston Community Groups:

Non-profit organizations receive an average 250% more support from smaller North Charleston area business owners than they do from large companies.

3. Keep North Charleston Unique: Where we shop, where we eat and have fun -- all of it makes North Charleston our home. Our one-of-a-kind local businesses are an integral part of the distinctive character of North Charleston. North Charleston tourism businesses also benefit. “When people go on vacation they generally seek out destinations that offer them the sense of being someplace, not just anyplace.” ~ Richard Moe, President, National Historic Preservation Trust. 4. Reduce Environmental Impact: Locally owned businesses in North Charleston can make more local purchases requiring less transportation. This generally means contributing less to sprawl, congestion, habitat loss and pollution.

5. Create Additional Jobs: Small local businesses are the largest employer nationally and in North Charleston area community, provide the most jobs to local residents. 6. Receive Better Service: Local businesses often hire people with a better understanding of the products and services they offer, and take more time to get to know customers.

7.Invest in the North Charleston Community: Local businesses are owned

by people who live in this community, and they are less likely to leave, and are more invested in the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future.

8. Put

your

Taxes

Good Use:

North Charleston businesses require a relatively little infrastructure investment and make more efficient use of public services as compared to nationally owned stores entering North Charleston.

9. Buy What you Want, Not What Big Advertising Budgets Want you to Buy: A South Carolina marketplace

comprised of tens of thousands of small businesses is the best way to ensure innovation and low prices over the long-term. A multitude of small businesses, each selecting products and services based not on a national sales plan but on their own interests and the needs of their local customers, promises a much broader range of product choices.

10. Promote Local Prosperity: An

escalating body of economic research shows that in an increasingly homogenized world, entrepreneurs and skilled workers are more likely to invest and settle in communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive character. Larry Local Editor in Chief

Carolina Girls … Have careers Why shouldn’t we? Double income houses are no longer a luxury; they’re practically a necessity. But there’s no reason you should have a career you hate just to make the mortgage payment.

Assess

yourself

What sort of career would be the most satisfying for you? If you don’t even know where to start, there are endless free career tests available online, including the Myers-Briggs which is one of the most comprehensive assessments available; a simplified version of which can be found online. The complete version, however, should be administered by a professional.

According to the University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center, the top most satisfying careers of 2009 are: - Clergy

- Dental Hygienists - Nuclear Medical Technologists - Radiologic Technologists and Technicians

- Firefighter

Finally, the top employers in South Carolina, offering 3,000 – 15,000 jobs yearly, are:

- School Principal

- US Department of Energy

- Artist (fine art)

- Medical University of SC

- Teacher

- Siemens Diesel System Tech

- Author

- Chest Pain Center of Greenville

- Psychologist

- Corrections Department

- Special Education Teacher

- Greenville Hospital System

Careers

- Spartanburg Regional Med Center

- Physical Therapist

South Carolina:

Around South Carolina, jobs are as varied as the colors in a peacock’s plumage. After you’ve taken a career assessment test and/or considered all of your top choices, create a list and look into the requirements and availability of each choice. Be sure to check what education levels/degrees are required and whether or not they are available in your area. If you’re absolutely strapped and have no idea where to start, the top industries in South Carolina that will be growing through 2014 are “travel agent” and pretty much anything in the health industry. Specifically, the top hiring jobs in South Carolina in 2009 are: - Diagnostic Medical Sonographers - Psychiatric Technicians - Surgical Technologists - Dental Assistants

- University of South Carolina - Spartanburg Regional Healthcare Do a little more research: Once you’ve narrowed the list down to a few top choices, feel free to conduct some informal interviews over the phone either with a hiring agent or with someone in the industry. Find out the top job requirements, what you would be doing on a day to day basis, and if you found someone in your chosen industry, ask them their top likes and dislikes about their job. Last step, find an opening and set up a series of interviews. It’s better not to put all your eggs in one basket by only interviewing at one or two jobs. If you happen to find the perfect job at the first interview, great! But it often takes a couple tries, so don’t get discouraged.

Spoleto May 22 – June 9, 2009 Charleston, South Carolina, is perhaps the most appropriate place in the United States to stage a festival that celebrates the arts. With its long and rich history of culture, its natural beauty, terrific Spring weather, affordable hotel rooms, and the inspiration it has provided to artists over the years, no place could be finer. Charleston claims many cultural firsts. The very first performance of an opera in the American colonies took place in the city during the first half of the 18th century. While the English Ballad opera Flora or Hob in the Well is no longer performed, Porgy and Bess – which has often been called the greatest American opera – was written in Charleston over two hundred years later. By the end

of the 18th century, Charleston formed the first resident ballet company in addition to regular performances by English and French-language theater companies. The Dock Street Theatre, was built in Charleston in 1734, and it is the first theater built specifically for public performances in the American colonies. The original theater burned down two years later and was eventually rebuilt. Over the next two hundred and fifty years, many other theaters said to rival the best in Europe were built in Charleston. Today, Charleston is a city of well-preserved stately homes, lofty churches and countless historical sites. You can also visit the Island where the Civil War officially started. Theaters are within walking distance from one another, and a stroll is often rewarded with the glimpse of a lavish garden or of a previously unnoticed architectural detail.

Award-winning restaurants and boutique shops add to the city’s eclectic character. Just minutes from historic downtown Charleston, glorious beaches await at Isle of Palms, Sullivan’s Island, and Folly Beach, where Gershwin is said to have composed the music for Porgy and Bess. (The area also has some of the finest golf courses in the US.) Recently the Spoleto organizers announced a program to make most of the performances more affordable. In some cases tickets are as low as $10.00. So what are you waiting for? Come to Spoleto and explore the best in opera, dance, theater and music, as well as all the sights and sounds Charleston has to offer. Make your reservations early, the best shows go fast.

Preventing Sunburn Spring is here and Summer is just around the corner and with the warmer weather comes an increased risk of sunburn. Whether you are a beachgoer, golfer, jogger, or shopper, long outings in the sun, even when it is cloudy, can cause damage to your skin. Aside from making you miserably uncomfortable, sunburn can also lead to premature aging and skin cancer, the most common form of cancer in the United States. Sunburn early in life increases one’s risk of developing skin cancers later in life such as melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. Improper tanning bed use is also a source of sunburn. When your skin is exposed to sunlight, it produces a pigment called melanin to help protect itself against ultraviolet light.

Sunburn doesn’t just happen in hot weather - reflection of light off the snow can also cause sunburn. It is visible radiation damage to the skin. UV rays are a type of radiation energy, which are given out by the sun and sun beds/tanning lamps. If you feel your sunburn is severe enough, call your doctor. Your doctor will probably ask you how severe your condition is and if you have any other significant health problems. The doctor can then make the decision to treat you at home or in the office or refer you to an emergency center. Conditions that should motivate you to go to an emergency center include the following: • Severe pain • Severe blistering • Headache • Confusion • Nausea or vomiting • Fainting

Treatment

Sunburn

Here is list of the methods for treating Sunburn: • Over the counter medications like ibuprofen, may help to relieve pain from sunburn. (Aspirin should be avoided in children who are running a fever.) • If blisters are present, dry bandages may help prevent infection. • To alleviate pain and heat (skin is warm to the touch) caused by the sunburn, take a cool (not cold) bath, or gently apply cool, wet compresses to the skin. • In most cases, prehospital care involves providing simple first aid to treat patient symptoms. • If your case is mild and not life threatening, your doctor may simply suggest plenty of fluids, aspirin, or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs). Fortunately, skin cancer is largely preventable when sun protection measures are consistently used. These measures include: • limiting exposure to the sun during the hours of 10 A.M. to 4 P.M., when the sun is the most intense • using a sun block with an SPF (sun protection factor) of at least 15 year-round • Wearing protective clothing and hats/sun visors • Stay out of the sun!

rate with the tax advantages of a mortgage, and you have an incredibly cheap way to build wealth, but you better act now.

Time to Refinance Buy !?

Right now, mortgage rates are at their lowest level since 1971. Think about that. Twenty-five years ago, homeowners were paying as much as 18% on a 30-year fixed. Today it’s just a little over 5%.Combine that

Real estate guru Barbara Corcoran has already seen a tremendous surge in refinance applications – more than triple the average – and the number of people getting approved is astronomically higher as well, she says. But that doesn’t mean the low rates are a panacea for the ills of the housing market. It is only once home prices start to go up that we will finally see a light at the end of tunnel, Corcoran says. Until that happens, we are still going to have to crawl out of this mess. “[Low interest rates are] a not a lifesaver,” Corcoran says. “This is just a helping hand.”

David Kittle, chairman of the Mortgage Bankers Association, has this advice to homeowners looking to refinance: Do it. Don’t get greedy searching for another quarter-point. Lock in rates now. He is seeing applications soar over 125% just since Thanksgiving due to the low rates. Of course, you should only refinance if it saves you at least 3/8 on the rate and if you plan on staying in your home for at least four years, Kittle says. Along with good credit, proof of income and money by means of a down payment or equity in the home, there are certain things every homeowner needs regardless of interest rate levels.

Bunker Shot Perfection: Blast Your Way to a Better Golf Score Bunker shots can be daunting but it’s really all in your head! Use these simple techniques the next time you’re in the bunker and blast your way to a better score.

Keep the weight on your left foot and don’t try to lift the ball, let the club do the work; trust me the club will lift the ball. Hit about 1 inch behind the ball. The key is to get sand between the club face and the ball. This is where that bounce comes in to play. Also, expect more roll on the ball when faced with a down hill lie in the bunker because the ball won’t get as much spin and tend to roll quite a bit. Use and practice these techniques to get yourself off the beach and onto the green. For more helpful tips, advice, or to add some Golf Tips and Suggestions of your own - you are invited to visit the South Carolina Golfers Blog at www.Golf.sc/Blog/

Golf ScoreFirst, don’t change your swing. Use the loft of the club and your back swing to determine your distance. Of course this will take some practice so you know how to shorten your backswing to get the distance you need. You use your back swing to adjust your distance because you always want to accelerate through the ball. You never want to the club head to decelerate. Also open the club face if needed to decrease the distance the ball will travel. Use the “bounce” on the club to launch the ball out of the sand. Don’t worry too much about the definition of bounce but try this the next time in the practice sand trap. Take your sand wedge and swing at the sand. Vary the angle the club hits the sand. When you bring the club down steeply you’ll take a lot of sand and leave a large “divot” in the sand. Decrease the angle that you strike the sand until you can feel the club almost bounce off the sand. Feeling that is more important than the actual definition of bounce. The key is to have this bounce feel when hitting the ball out of the sand. Open the club face and aim slightly right with an open stance with the ball forward in your stance, slightly off of your left heel for right handed golfers. When you swing follow the line of your feet.

Commercial Real Estate Renting

Today’s Market

First make sure that the area you have chosen is right for your intended business. If you plan on expanding, take that into consideration. Do you need to be close to an expressway, or the local airport? Before you decide, think ahead, because you may be getting into a long term commitment. Make sure that any space you’re considering is big enough for both your current needs, and your foreseeable growth. Be realistic and never over-commit. Do your homework beforehand. Investigate traffic patterns; tour the area and building. Find out who the previous tenant was, and why the business left. Learn what kinds of marketing the location does in support of its tenants (if any) and whether cooperative marketing funds are available to you.

Weigh the benefits of guaranteed foot traffic at a mall location against premium rent. Some malls require that all tenants stay open during mall hours, and pay for common area usage as well as the store’s own space and upkeep. Stores may also be asked to pay a percentage of sales to the mall. Identify your closest competitors. Also check out neighboring businesses with an eye for complementary products or services. If you are locating in a mall, check the lease agreement for any guaranteed protection against competition. Evaluate whether the physical location and space is a good fit with your product line. Do you need a large, bright space or is an office warehouse sufficient? Investigate any restrictions on signage. Signs are vitally important to retail businesses, yet many landlords decide on what a store can and cannot do. The rules may be even stricter in

a mall, which closely monitors its physical appearance. Negotiate the terms of your lease aggressively. Think about consulting a realtor that is familiar with the area. Never accept wording that’s confusing or that leaves you wondering who is liable for what. Ask for the right of first refusal on adjacent space in case you need to expand. Negotiate for free improvements, free rent, and other incentives before signing your lease. Hire a real estate attorney who not only specializes in lease negotiations, but knows your area and, preferably, has dealt with your kind of business before. A lease negotiation can cover tens, if not hundreds, of terms, and you want someone in your corner who has seen it all before. Know who is responsible for maintaining the heating, airconditioning and other systems, as well as keeping up the parking lot and building exterior. This can be critical in older buildings. Who pays for the utilities and trash pick-up? The time has probably never been better to start a new venture if you have a business that is not being adversely affected by this economy. Just make sure you get the right location……

Can

you find

the gorget? The South Carolina State flag is immediately recognizable to native Carolinians, and if you’re spending some time out-of-State, it will probably bring a tear to your eye to see it whizzing by on a bumper sticker or rippling in the soft blue sky of a native license plate. Most folks, however, consistently confuse our flag for a simple representation of a moonlit palm tree. The truth it, the sliver of crescent suspended in the upper left hand corner is not a moon phase: it’s a piece of ornamental armour known as a “gorget”. A holdover from the days of knights in shining armour, the gorget was originally used to protect the throat and block blows from non-projectile weapons such as swords. Since the gorget originally rested

around the throat, the shape was that of a crescent. In formal armour, the gorget was placed beneath the breastplate and backplate set and supported the weight of the armour. They were often equipped with straps in order to attach some of the heavier armours. By the Renaissance, the gorgets had already achieved an ornamental status and by the American Revolution, it could be seen hanging from delicate chains and ribbons around the throats of officers, signifying their rank. The first South Carolina flag, designed in 1765, displayed the dark blue of the American troops’ uniforms and a large crescent with the word “Liberty” written within it. While most historians agree that the crescent is the representation of the gorget, which was also worn as a symbol on the caps of American soldiers, there is some argument that the symbol could also stand

for the river bend on which Charleston sits (the crescent was a common symbol used by early American settlements when their Town rested on the curve of a river), or it was a borrowed symbol from the crest of the Bull family, one of Charleston’s early settlers. The palmetto tree on today’s flag was not included until January 28, 1861, the day of South Carolina’s secession from the Union. The palmetto tree represents the defense of Fort Moultrie from British attack, as the Fort itself was made of palmetto logs: an unexpectedly brilliant construction, as the logs of the palmetto tree are incredibly resilient and absorbed the enemy cannon fire like a sponge. Either way we have a pretty cool state flag, and gorget is hard to pronounce!

How

to make grits

By now, you should know that grits are not only the starch of choice in South Carolina, it’s also the acronym for “Girls Raised in the South”; so if you don’t have your recipe down by now, it’s time to get boiling. Proper grits do not come in an easy to open, plastic-lined paper packet. As My Cousin Vinny put it, “Real grits take at least 20 minutes to cook”. In fact, they take a couple hours, but it’s worth every simmering second.So get rid of the Quaker Instant Grits and mosey on down to the rice isle. Grits can usually be found either here or in the baking isle. If you’re lucky enough to live near a local produce market or farmer’s market, 99% of the time you’ll find more than enough grits in stock. Some local favorites include Anson Mills grits and Charleston’s Favorite Stone Ground Grits.

filling the bowl with water until the water is an inch or so above the grits. Skim off the chaff and drain. Don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be completely dry, just get it as close as possible. Now, dump the wet grits into a pot and pour in twice as much chicken stock as grits. Bring this to a boil, then reduce to medium-low. Now add equal portions cream and milk up to 2 and ½ times the amount of grits. So, if I was making this recipe for two, I would have used 1 cup dry grits, 2 ½ cups chicken stock, 1 ¾ cups cream and 1 ¾ cups milk. Add salt and pepper to taste, then sit back and let it simmer. The longer the grits simmer, the richer they’ll be. Typical time is 20-30 minutes, but some of the best grits sit for an hour to two hours at low to medium-low heat, just soaking up that cream and milk. Right before you serve the grits up, stir in a healthy pat of butter and, if you’re feeling a little wild, grate a handful of parmesan or cheddar cheese over the top. Play with and perfect this dish to your liking. The recipe is purposefully simple for the sole reason that it’s up to each southern girl to come up with her own special twist on this Southern Classic.

Now that you have the dry goods, make sure you have some fresh chicken stock, milk, cream and butter. Oh yes, you’re making these the way God intended. Measure out your dry grits (1 cup of dry grits makes roughly 2 servings) and clean them by placing them in a bowl and

Until the Civil War, what is now North Charleston, consisted of primarily of plantations. The turn of the 20th century brought a boom of industry to the North Area, with the opening of E.P. Burton Lumber Company and the Navy Shipyard. In 1912, a group of Charleston business men laid out the Park Circle area. Much of Park Circle still adheres to the original 1912 plan. This thriving city is home to the North Charleston Coliseum, Performing Arts Center, & Convention Center. This complex is home to the South Carolina Stingrays, an ECHL minor league hockey team, and is a major hub of cultural events and conventions for the Tri-county area. North Charleston’s climate has resulted in some of the most beautiful communities in the area. Several major developers have entered the market over
