Lowcountry Local First pushes local buying, sustainability

SEPT.
2, 2010 - For those of you who aren't familiar with Lowcountry Local
First, I'd like to introduce the organization. For those of you
who know us, I hope to enrich your understanding of what we do.

LLF
is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization that formed in 2007. We
are the 44th chapter of the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies,
a national organization that promotes the development of local economies.
LLF advocates the benefits of a local living economy by building
community support for independent, locally owned businesses in all
industries.
The
concept is simple -- where you chose to spend your money can positively
affect change in your community. For every $100 spent at a Charleston-based
business, $68 stays within our community, whereas for every $100
spent at a non-locally owned business, only $43 stays within the
community. In these trying economic times, what better way to help
each other than by helping local businesses to remain competitive
and to make it possible for them to contribute to the character
and vitality of our community?
LLF
has two initiatives: a Buy Local Initiative and a Sustainable Agriculture
Initiative. We work to support local businesses and we work to build
the sustainable agriculture field, although many associate LLF with
one or the other. Here's the breakdown on each:
Buy
Local Initiative
Buy Local is an ongoing grassroots campaign to encourage all Lowcountry
residents to Think Local when they make purchases, to Buy Local
whenever possible, and to Be Local by supporting businesses that
keep our community distinct.
Each
year in the early autumn, we produce the Directory of Local Independent
Businesses, a fantastic tool for locating locally-owned businesses
to support in the Charleston region. In it all of our member businesses
and sponsors (now over 300 strong) are listed. We print 20,000 each
year, and they are distributed throughout the tri-county area. We
welcome all members to monthly member meetings, happy hours, and
workshops - all of which are hosted to facilitate learning about
locally owned businesses and connecting local business men and women.
For
the past three years, LLF has held a "Buy Local Week,"
where we encourage people to spend a percentage of their holiday
dollars in local businesses. Also, we are excited to announce our
newest addition to the Buy Local initiative: "Real Time Deals."
By signing up for this program, members have the opportunity to
post exclusive specials, discounts, and deals to our Web site, made
available to anyone who visits the page. Check it out on our home
page.
Sustainable
Agriculture Initiative
This initiative focuses on strengthening local farms and producers
by creating partnerships with local restaurants, food institutions
and markets. One of LLF's first actions was to partner with the
S.C. Department of Agriculture to create the "Fresh on the
Menu" program, which recognizes restaurants that choose to
buy their raw ingredients from local producers.
Since
then, LLF launched its Growing New Farmers Incubator Project. This
is an apprenticeship program to educate the next generation of farmers
and food system leaders. Apprentices are given the opportunity to
attend quarterly Growers Group meetings, a FastTracSC/Clemson Food
& Entrepreneurship course, and, as of this fall, a Continuing
Education Sustainable Agriculture course open to the public.
Concurrently,
LLF pioneered the Farm Fresh Online Market, where seven local chefs
work directly with three local farms. The Online Market explores
new pathways of getting local product from farm to plate to ensure
sustainable agriculture is viable financially for both farmers and
chefs. We are thrilled to join forces with the Coastal Conservation
League to create a wholesale Central Market to expand the opportunity
for all local chefs to purchase directly from local farmers daily.
With these measures in place, Charleston will have a strong regional
food system that will include a diversity of rural farms and an
urban farming component that will invigorate these much-neglected
economies.
We
could not accomplish any of this without the incredible enthusiasm
of the people of Charleston. Each of us has the power to shape our
community here in Charleston by voting with our dollars and investing
in each other.

First.

Tail-wagging
and tailgating news: from Bi-Lo to football
By ANN THRASH, contributing editor|
permalink
SEPT.
2, 2010 - The nation's ongoing economic woes have affected more
than just our human families. They've affected our pets as well.
Countless families have had to give up a beloved dog or cat that
they can no longer afford to feed, and others who have had to give
up a pet because they lost their home sometimes find a "No
Pets Allowed" policy when they downsize to an apartment or
move in with family or friends.

Today
we're happy to tell you about a new promotion at Bi-Lo grocery stores
to help change things for people and their pets. Through Sept. 28,
customers at all Bi-Lo stores who buy a $5 bag of the chain's PAWS
Premium pet food and donate it to a local food bank will get an
extra 5 cents on their "fuelperks!" rewards cards.
The
program kicked off Sept. 1. All you have to do is buy the pet food,
place it in the donation bin at the store, and Bi-Lo will take care
of the rest. In the Charleston area, the food will go to the Lowcountry
Food Bank (a nonprofit partner of CharlestonCurrents.com).
This
is the second year for the program, which Bi-Lo calls "Feed
the Love," and the company has set a goal of doubling the 30
tons of pet food it collected and donated to 87 food banks across
the Southeast last year.
"This
effort is particularly critical in light of the current economic
situation, as many food banks face the dual challenge of diminished
contributions and an increased number of individuals in need of
food not only for themselves, but for their pets as well,"
says a company statement. "Bi-Lo's goal is to help reduce the
number of animals being abandoned by their owners or sent to shelters
by assisting the families already receiving support from the food
banks."
You
probably see a local Bi-Lo store somewhere on your daily commute,
but if you need a list of locations in the tri-county area, click
here. As a lifelong animal lover who can't even begin to imagine
how crushing it would be to have to give up my own dog and cat,
I salute Bi-Lo for this effort. In fact, I'll be heading to my neighborhood
Bi-Lo this afternoon to donate some pet food while I'm shopping
for tailgating goodies. And speaking of tailgating
Kicking
off football season
College
football is back beginning tonight, when the University of South
Carolina kicks off the season nationwide in a game against Southern
Miss (ESPN, 7:30 p.m.). To get you primed for the season, we found
a couple of interesting Palmetto State football facts in our favorite
statewide history book, Dr. Walter Edgar's "South Carolina
Encyclopedia" (USC Press). Let's kick it off with a trivia
question
- Which
in-state rivals battle it out in "the Bronze Derby"?
(The answer is at the end of the column.)
- The
first official football game played in the state took place on
December 14, 1889. Wofford beat Furman 5-1; at that time, each
score counted for 1 point.
-
USC played its first game in 1892, losing to Furman 44-0 in Charleston.
In 1896, Clemson played its first game, beating Wofford 14-6 in
Greenville.
-
1896 was also the year Clemson and Carolina played each other
for the first time. Carolina won 12-6. (This was the first "Big
Thursday" game, held in conjunction with the State Fair.)
-
College teams were racially segregated in the state until 1970,
when Jackie Brown became the first black player at USC. Clemson's
first black football player was Marion Reeves in 1971.
-
The longest rushing play in Citadel football history is 96 yards.
The record was set Nov. 12, 1994, by Wando High School graduate
Travis Jervey in The Citadel's game against VMI. Jervey went on
to play for the Green Bay Packers, San Francisco 49ers and Atlanta
Falcons.
So who plays in the Bronze Derby? Presbyterian and Newberry.

Legislature
should develop state energy standards
By
GREG GARVAN, contributing editor

SEPT.
2, 2010 - At a recent business roundtable on creating new energy
policies for the state, Hamilton Davis of the Coastal Conservation
League urged the Legislature to develop a comprehensive energy standards
portfolio.

With
standards in place, South Carolina could create more than 22,000
new jobs in the next 15 years, according to leaders. A Columbia
Chamber member noted, "We're not real far down the road, but
I think there is a realization that we've got to get there."

standards in its 2007 work, "Getting Greener." Click

- Recycling
goals:
The 11 states that have economic incentives for recycling bottles
report a 63 percent recycling rate. South Carolina, without that
incentive, reports a 22 percent rate, which has declined in the
past two years. For more on how you can help grow our recycling
efforts and help the state make money, go

cost of living index below national average
The cost of living in Charleston is just below the national average.
But overall, our cost of living is considered high, while our salaries
are lower.
According
to the second quarter 2010 ACCRA Cost of Living Index, Charleston's
cost of living index was 97.2, which is 2.8 percent below the national
average (100.0) cost of living among the 314 urban areas participating.
|
COMPOSITE
COST OF LIVING INDEX
The following
is the composite Cost of Living index for selected metropolitan
cities:
Austin,
TX 95.0
Charleston, SC 97.2
Greenville, SC 89.3
Jacksonville, FL 92.1
Knoxville, TN 90.2
Lexington, KY 95.4
Savannah, GA 93.1
Richmond, VA 104.4
Raleigh, NC 98.5
|
The
Cost of Living Index is published quarterly by C2ER -- The Council
for Community and Economic Research. The composite index is based
on six components -- housing, utilities, grocery items, transportation,
health care and miscellaneous goods and services.
Charleston
is below the national average in housing with 92.6 and transportation
-- 94.8. Yet grocery items are higher with 103.5. When compared
to the other cities in the 2010 regional economic score card that
was recently released by the Charleston Regional Development Alliance
and the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce - Center for Business
Research, Charleston's overall Cost of Living is high. At the same
time, incomes in the Charleston region are 12 percent below the
national average and housing prices remain above many of these areas
as well.
"We
know people want to live in our region because of the quality of
life offered by our coastal location. All the same, the region must
continue to work to close the gap in income and wages of our area.
The Cost of Living Index is a measure that helps us understand how
we are doing compared to other regions," Mary Graham, senior
vice president, public policy/regional advancement for the Chamber,
said.
State's
first Azalea Society of America chapter takes root here
Following a recent meeting at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens, local
gardeners began a process to establish South Carolina's first chapter
of the Azalea Society of America.
Twenty-five
ASA members met at Magnolia to organize the local chapter, which
if approved by the ASA, will be called the Rev. John Grimke Drayton
Chapter. It could become one of 11 chapters nationwide affiliated
with the society, founded in 1977 at Washington, D.C.

Miles Beach,
Magnolia Plantation and Garden's director of horticultural programs,
took this picture at Magnolia Gardens during the spring of 2010.
|
The
local chapter was named for Drayton (1815-1891) to "recognize
his contribution to azalea research and propagation in the South,"
Miles Beach, director of the horticultural collections at Magnolia,
said. Drayton developed the gardens following the Civil War as a
gift to his wife Julia Ewing Drayton.
Tom
Johnson, director of Magnolia Gardens, elected to be the local chapter
president, said the group's mission is to seek out azalea experts
who can teach local gardeners about the different varieties of azaleas
and how they can be used in the landscape.
Jim
Thornton of Conyers, Ga., a former president of the national society,
said Charleston is a natural location for a chapter given its abundance
of azaleas. The city has not had a chapter, he said, because up
until now no one has "had the gumption to get the ball rolling."
Beach
said anyone who wants to join the local chapter in the next 90 days
can do so and be classified as a charter member. The local Azalea
Society chapter will meet at 7:30 p.m. on the third Monday of each
month in the Carriage House at Magnolia Gardens.

Hockey
skates South
The
traditionally Canadian sport of hockey had a minimal presence in
South Carolina until the 1990s. Requiring cold weather for ice or
expensive indoor ice rinks, the sport attracted little interest.
This
changed during the 1990s when interest in hockey saw unprecedented
growth in the state, sparked by the migration of many northerners
to the state and the development of roller hockey.
Following
close on the heels of this rising interest was the appearance of
the state's first professional minor league hockey team, the
South Carolina Stingrays. The Stingrays, who play in North Charleston,
joined the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) in 1993 and garnered
many fans in the Lowcountry. Other ECHL teams soon followed: the
Pee Dee Pride in 1997 (renamed the Florence Pride in 2003), the
Greenville Grrrowl in 1998, and the Columbia Inferno in 2001.
According
to USA Hockey, hockey's governing body, the number of players in
the Southeastern District (which includes twelve states and the
District of Columbia) grew from 4,462 in 1990-1991 to 28,662 in
2001-2002, of which 1,292 were in South Carolina. Beginning as a
northern transplant with few southern devotees, hockey has gained
a substantial following in South Carolina.
