An Eye for
TEA
The health benefits of tea have been talked about everywhere from the nightly news to infomercials. Science is now backing up the claims that tea is capable of reducing the risk of cancer and heart disease, boosting the immune system, and facilitating weight loss. While that might be enough reason for someone to start drinking a cup of tea each day, for those who already love tea, that’s nothing more than an added bonus.

While drinking tea would be enough for most people, there are also other more unconventional ways of enjoying tea. Tea has historically been used as both a dye for cloth and as a wood stain. If you’re feeling a little more adventurous, you could try adding some red highlights to your hair using tea. Green tea can be used to make ice cream or a anti-aging skin cream.

Remembering the
Least Among Us
A chat with Tracy Johnson, Director of Operations at Project Pet By Krista Anderson-Denk
Tracy Johnson, Director of Operations at Project Pet, wanted to be a cliche. “I wanted to be one of those people that gets to do what they love everyday; that makes a completely conscious choice to make the sacrifices in their lives so that they can enjoy what they’re doing and know that there’s a purpose to it”, she said while sitting in her office, a recently rescued beagle snoring softly in the corner. That is why she left a hard-won management position to devote her time to volunteering. Before long, she was spending over 60 hours a week with like-minded folks at Project Pet. When a position opened, she leapt at the opportunity to turn her passion into a career. Project Pet has seen a lot of changes since it’s inception in 1999, particularly in the past three years. With a euthanasia rate of approximately 90% in area municipal animal shelters and over 19,000 pets euthanized last year, a need was easily recognized. “We have a three prong approach to pet overpopulation and thereby euthanasia”, Tracy explained. First and foremost, create a spay/neuter program that is wide-scale, low cost, and very accessible. Second, promote and practice responsible adoption by adopting out pets that are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and include a trial period of pet insurance, as well as conducing a thorough screening of all potential adopters. Finally, promote and facilitate the education of not just children, but all local citizens on the importance of reducing the pet overpopulation. By following the examples set by “Best Practice Areas” such as Richmond, VA where the pet overpopulation has been successfully addressed, Project Pet’s Board of Directors hopes to bring the same improvements to Columbia.
A big step in continuing their mission is the construction of a brand-new building. Ground-breaking begins in October 2009 immediately after their annual fundraiser, the Fur Ball. Their new 26,000 square foot facility will include a spay/neuter clinic that
will be able to perform up to 30,000 operations a year, classroom space that will include an observation gallery overlooking the operation room, and the first indoor dog park in South Carolina. The 4,500 square foot park will be used for the dogs available for adoption during the day and opened to those with a membership during the evenings and on weekends. “The building is not just functional,” says Tracy, “it’s also meant to be a destination.”
Before they break ground on their new home, Project Pet’s volunteers and 750 supporters will be celebrating at the third annual Fur Ball on October 17th. The biggest event of the year for Project Pet, the black-tie affair raises over $200,000 with both silent and live auctions offering exciting items such as vacations to San Francisco and Greece, boats, jewelry and fine art. Held at the Columbia Convention Center, it allows everyone to get together and cut loose while raising about half of the organization’s annual budget. Locally, Project Pet is making itself known to those who are feeling the crunch of our recent economic troubles. “It’s important right now, when economic times are hard, to not forget about the least among us”, Tracy believes. With more and more families faced with the heart-breaking decision of giving up their family pets, Project Pet is working with other non-profit organizations to enable people to keep their pets in their homes. Pet Soup is run in conjunction with the ASPCA here in Columbia and provides more than 40,000 pounds of donated pet food to families who qualify for Harvest Hope. Project Pet’s Care-A-Van is a new program that started running September 12th with the mission of providing lowcost vaccines to under served local communities. Project Pet is also aiming wider than just the Midlands area. So far, they have already created spay/neuter license plate tags that can be seen throughout the state, the sale of which benefits spay/ neuter funds in South Carolina. Additionally, they are working on
expanding the ban on the sale of animals at flea markets, which they successfully facilitated in Richland county. The concern with flea market pet sales, Tracy says, is that “there’s no consumer protection, there’s no taxation, and there’s no regulation what-so-ever.” They are currently working with local representatives to pass a similar ban in Lexington county. Additionally, the are partnering with the Humane Society to pass state-wide anti-cockfighting measures. Prior to Project Pet’s involvement the penalty in South Carolina for cockfighting was a misdemeanor charge that carried a $250 fine. They have recently been able to strengthen the severity of the crime by getting it classified as a felony and doubling the fine. Tracy Johnson believes strongly in the mission of Project Pet. “When we can’t serve our constituents, they die.” Pet care has seen a lot of advancements recently from the rise in the popularity of pet insurance to microchips. What does she believe is the future of pet care? GPS tracking. The 3rd Annual Fur Ball Moonlight Gala October 17th helped raise awareness and thousands of dollars in funds for Project Pet. With over 200 silent and live auction items up for grabs, guests were able to bid on exotic vacation getaways, an in-home sushi dinner party, and even a chance to co-pilot a fighter jet! A set list of popular cover tunes performed by Heart and Soul provided the perfect atmosphere for dancing, while specialty bars surrounding the ballroom offered both elegant and familiar staples like martinis and sweet tea vodka. Don’t miss your chance to attend next year and have a great time for a great cause!” To volunteer, donate or for more information, see Project Pet’s website www.projectpet.com n

OFF THE GRIDIRON
by Wes Wolfe
State Rep. Anton Gunn, D-Richland, is a bit of a local celebrity. Just in his first term in the State House of Representatives, he’s been followed around by a Japanese film crew, profiled in Time and the Los Angeles Times, and seems to be respected and admired by both donkey and elephant types. His recent notoriety kicked off when he helped engineer thenU.S. Sen. Barack Obama’s victory in the 2008 S.C. Democratic presidential primary. He first came to Columbia and made his name around here, though, by being one of what sportscaster Keith Jackson would call “the big uglies.” Gunn played offensive line at South Carolina, where he spent time under the tutelage of two coaches most Carolina fans would like to forget – Sparky Woods and Brad Scott. During that time, the Gamecocks went 19-24-2. Needless to say, it motivated Gunn to do better. “Because I spent so many years under the teaching of mediocre coaches, I learned that I should never be mediocre,” he said. “That’s why I work so hard trying to be the best. I don’t want to go back to being mediocre.” Originally, Gunn was slotted behind David Turnipseed on the defensive line. Turnipseed’s uncle, attorney and activist Tom Turnipseed, chaired S.C. Fair Share while Gunn was the executive director there between 2001 and 2008. Fair Share is a non-partisan group seeking to help poor and working class people. It’s one of a few community organizing jobs that he has taken on since graduating. “I wanted to help people. I want to be involved with helping people to live better lives,” Gunn said of his choice of vocation. “What I learned [was] how to help people. I learned how to motivate people away from accepting the status quo. I learned how to bring diverse groups of people together to make a difference in each other’s lives.” As an undergraduate, he majored in history, but went back to school to get his Master’s in social work, receiving it in 2001. That year, he won the Faculty Award from the USC College of Social Work and the Student of the Year award from the National Association of Social Workers. Though his district stretches from Northeast Columbia to Kershaw County, Gunn is looking to make an impact on a bigger stage. “I think bigger than Columbia. I will leave Columbia for other leaders to focus on, but for South Carolina I want to make our state great,” he said. “I want us to be at the top all statistical categories that we are currently ranked 48th, 49th and 50th (education, jobs, economic development, quality of life indicators, etc.). And, I want us to be ranked at the bottom of all statistical categories that we are currently ranked first, third and fifth (disease, dysfunctional government, unemployment, etc.). I know we can be great, we just need more leaders who believe it like I do, and more importantly they need to be willing to work together to get it done.”
William “Web” Brown was one of the signees from Lou Holtz’s penultimate recruiting class at South Carolina, a two-star rated offensive lineman from Boonville, N.C., he also had offers from East Carolina and North Carolina, but decided to come south and suit up for the Gamecocks. His early career at Carolina was beset by injuries, but that didn’t stop him from being a leader off the field, as well. During his time at USC, he served on the NCAA Division I National StudentAthlete Advisory Committee and the Football Issues Committee. But, that’s just the beginning. As a junior, he was selected to the American Football Coaches Association “Good Works” team for his involvement in the community. That included, but wasn’t limited to, volunteering for the Salvation Army and the Children’s Chance Dinner, Wesley Brown Day at Children’s Hospital and Pigskin Poets at the Richland County Public Library. Since leaving the gridiron in 2007, he hasn’t stopped trying to make a difference. “It all goes back to loving God and others,” Brown said. “Up until July of this year, I was still on the NCAA’s National Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. I am still involved as a guest-speaker for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and First Baptist Church Transitions/Metro. I have also spoken for the Lions Club and some local churches this year.” The teams Brown played on had a tendency to do well early, but suffer late-season meltdowns. None were more stultifying to players, coaches and fans than the 0-5 slide in 2007 after starting 6-1. It helps in times like that to have something you believe that is a tad more important than football. Brown’s faith and his church are among the significant things that drive him today. “Anyone who knows me knows that I love Christ,” he said. “You can’t hide it. It’s not an easy life, which is why I delight in serving as a men’s bible study leader for First Baptist and also as the varsity football chaplain for Ben Lippen High School (Go Falcons!). The greatest things we can do for God are to love Him and to love His people. When you experience the love of Christ, it’s hard to refuse it, but so many do.” But, as the saying goes, “you gotta eat.” For a gentleman who was listed at 64, 291 pounds in college, that definitely means something. After USC, Brown became a working stiff like the rest of us, but that didn’t stop him from getting the occasional recognition that comes from being an athlete. “I’ve worked in the Gamecock Club and as a marketing director of a local Chickfil-A, however, I currently work in the transportation industry under a third-party logistics (3PL) firm called Compass Inc,” he said. “It’s fun to talk to Carolina fans -- and even some friendly Clemson fans -- who own businesses and tell them that I can help them ship their freight all around the country. Being a former athlete has its perks.” n

curtain call A Behind the Scenes Conversation with Jodi Moseley, Owner of The Tailored Window
A degree in Music Performance from the University of North Carolina with emphasis in Musical Theatre is the inspiration behind The Tailored Window. It may seem strange comparing the Musical Theatre to custom window treatments, but I consider my profession “art,” or better yet, “a performance.” Window treatments make a room come alive. My goal is to create window treatments that invoke emotion. The install, or what I consider “The Finale,” is rewarded with great applause. I’m not your typical, everyday drapery-maker. Fortunately, I was blessed with an obsessive mind to create and will be the first to admit I am somewhat of a Diva. It was difficult leaving a secure job with the Federal Government as a court recorder to pursue a career as a small business owner. I started sewing out of college as a hobby. Before I knew it, my friends told their friends, who told their friends. That beautiful phrase “word of mouth” magically grew into a full-time business. The choice not to pursue my career in Musical Theatre only heightened my desire to do something I love. I had to take a chance, one that carried no regrets. Throughout my almost 20 years in business, I have learned much about life in general. I have met great people, made wonderful friends, and experienced many challenges. One of the biggest challenges I experienced was working on a home owned by the late Dave Thomas, the founder of Wendy’s here in Columbia. What started out as a favor (fixing a broken lamp shade and pealing wallpaper) evolved into redoing the entire house. In a great display of trust, the Thomas’s left all the decisions to me. Talk about anxiety! When Mr. Thomas returned to Columbia it was “show time.” The finale resulted in generous applause! Another pleased customer. That’s what it’s all about.
As the business grew, I had to make some decisions. Bolts of fabric were falling out of closets on my husband’s head, cornices became Olympic hurdles in my living room, and I wasn’t able to keep up and deliver in what I considered a reasonable time frame. Thus came those terrorizing thoughts: rent, overhead, and employees. No way! The thought of allowing my work into another’s hands caused extreme anxiety. But, as the story unfolds, I have been blessed with two “Jodi Trained,” extremely dedicated sewers, Clara Rose and Cathy Kelley. Lee Ann Itterly is my contract sewer/drapery designer. Bellinda Hollis, my assistant and long-time friend, is my voice, my second set of eyes, and the other half of my brain. I keep it small. Quantity isn’t always quality. All the work still passes through my hands for approval. I design and create window treatments based on the customer’s wants and needs. Treatments can be functional, creating privacy or blocking out sunlight. They can be stationary, creating an atmosphere of simplicity and warmth. Some present a grandiose statement. Most customers request that their window treatments not interfere with, or block to much light from, the window. The solution: extend panels out beyond the window and keep valances or pelmets from dropping too far into the window. This heightens ceilings and opens up the room. In some instances, the woodwork framing the window is too beautiful to be covered. We enhance the beauty of the woodwork by mounting inside the window or window molding. Many hours of engineering (accompanied by lots of math) are definite requirements in creating window treatments. Hardware is the foundation. Even though it serves as the costar to a beautiful treatment, hardware supports the design and enhances the flow of the material. I try to spend as much time as possible with customers and designers I work with, getting to know them, learning their likes and dislikes, and exchanging ideas. Most conversations end up with stories and experiences totally unrelated to window treatments. It’s great because I want my customers to feel comfortable with me. The Tailored Window is creatively involved in the entire production from start to finish. We offer fabrics, trims, and hardware from all price ranges and create from pictures, drawings, or simply through discussion and imagination. When tell my customers that we prefer to install our own window treatments, a skeptical husband sometimes becomes my best friend!
A successfully executed drama has a little suspense, a little comedy, and the element of surprise. My favorite part of the business is making time to do the “While You Were Out” thing. I masterminded a sneak attach on a friend’s bedroom while she was out of town. Joined by eight good friends, we redecorated her bedroom with new paint, window treatments, bed covers, and accessories. Upon her return I didn’t think we’d ever get her to quit sobbing. Another one of my single, male friends was embarrassed about his guest bedroom. One Saturday while he was playing golf, I redid his guest bedroom. I added new window treatments, new bed coverings, and rearranged some artwork. His enthusiastic response was “Keep the key! Come by any time!” My favorite home invasion was for my friend who works at the State House. The day of her birthday, I sneaked into her house, hung new draperies, took a picture, and e-mailed it to her with a birthday greeting. It wasn’t until a second glance that she realized it was HER dining room she was viewing. She was so excited she shared the photo with the entire State House. A special thanks... I owe the success of my business not only to my wonderful customers, designers, and business associates, but to my husband, Neil, who tolerates my long hours, cooks my dinner every night, and puts up with a constantly busy mind. The Tailored Window offers not only custom window treatments, but slipcovers, bed covers, upholstered headboards, and accent items such as table covers and pillows. We also have several lines of manufactured shades and blinds, a full line of fabric by order, and many choices of custom hardware. Most importantly, we offer exceptional service. We strive to go above and beyond to provide the performance that will guarantee a standing ovation from our customers!
The Tailored Window’s resume includes homes in Columbia, the Carolinas, the continental United States from South Beach, Florida to Billings, Montana, and international work in Canada and Greece.
