Companies
curb costs, help staffs with wellness programs
By ASHLEY SHOCKLEY
Marketing manager, Horne/Guest Insurance Agency

JULY
2, 2009 -- If you walk into the break room at Horne/Guest
Insurance Agency, you won't find vending machines full of sodas
and sweets. Instead, employees enjoy a bowl of fresh fruit, a fridge
full of bottled water, and a basket of healthy snacks. These are
just some of the many ways Horne/Guest promotes wellness in its
workplace.
Horne/Guest employees just completed a 13-week weight loss challenge.
The goal was for each individual to lose 5 percent of his or her
body weight by exercising and developing healthier eating habits.
Twenty-two employees took the challenge and, after the results were
tallied, the staff lost 186 pounds.

GET
WELL AT WORK
Here
are four low-cost ways to start workplace wellness programs:
Start
with the basics. It's important to require employees to
take an annual health risk assessment. This activity will
get staff engaged and also provide crucial data to determine
where to focus your wellness efforts.
Poll
employees to figure out what areas need attention. Create
a simple survey to test what programs might receive the most
participation and make the largest impact.
Create
quarterly challenges to engage employees throughout the
year. Incentives can range from bragging rights to gift cards
to reductions in health premiums.
Take
a look at your internal operations and make subtle changes
to reinforce a healthier lifestyle. For example, replace the
high-calorie snacks in the vending machine with healthier
options. Change out the candy bowl for sugar-free mints, and
always let it be known that doughnuts are not acceptable at
company meetings.
|
"When
the total weight loss was announced, I couldn't believe it,"
said Brandon Guest, president of Horne/Guest. "I am so proud
of what we did as a team and encouraged by the positive effects
of investing in the health of my employees."
Workplace
wellness programs such as Horne/Guest's are more than just a trend.
According to the Health Management Research Center (HMRC) at the
University of Michigan, nearly 60 percent of all companies and 95
percent of large companies have programs designed to encourage individuals
to take some responsibility for their own health.
A
local credit union, Heritage Trust, has also discovered the value
of promoting employee health. "Four years ago, a small group
of our staff got together and decided to find ways to incorporate
wellness in our workplace," said Jim McKenrick, head of the
wellness committee at Heritage Trust. "Now, more than 80 employees
actively participate in our programs, and we're seeing the positive
effects spread to every area of the company."
Health
promotions are, in part, about improving employee morale, but they
can also positively affect a business' bottom line. HMRC research
shows that workplace wellness programs save employers $80 to $225
per employee per year in medical care costs and an equal amount
in productivity gains.
"Our
wellness programs have allowed us to keep our health-care costs
below the average annual rate of increase," said Craig Massey,
human resources director at Piggly Wiggly. "When other companies
are seeing double-digit inflation in their health-care costs, we've
been able to maintain our bottom line."
More
than 70 Heritage Trust employees participated in the Relay
for Life walk in April, including (from left) Dara Biswell,
Maurice Brown, Natalie Bennett, Debra Nettles, Jim McKenrick,
Monika Radley, Vernessa White, Darida Harris and Carol Nix.

Any
size company can make the health of its employees a priority. "Creating
wellness at your workplace can be easy and inexpensive," said
Horne/Guest wellness coordinator Nikki Barthelemy. "We've worked
with many clients over the last few years to implement wellness
programs of all shapes and sizes."
Employers
who don't have any type of wellness program can start small. "Being
in the health-care industry, it's important that we encourage our
staff to live healthy," said Renee Rampey, human resources
director at Palmetto Primary Care Physicians. "We started with
easy initiatives, and now the program has grown to include an online
community where employees can track their participation in a variety
of programs."

Horne/Guest
is turning its weight loss success into a way to give back. Each
employee who participated in the challenge brought in a pound of
food for every pound he or she lost. These donations will be given
to the Lowcountry Food Bank to support its efforts in the community.
"We are truly inspired by the creativity and passion by the
Horne/Guest team to help eradicate hunger in the Lowcountry. They
are a testament that losing weight is not only good for the individual,
but also beneficial to our community," said D. Jermaine Husser,
Lowcountry Food Bank executive director. (The Lowcountry Food
Bank is a nonprofit partner of CharlestonCurrents.com.)
Successful
worksite wellness programs need to have encouragement, education
and incentive. But most of all, they need employees who are willing
to take a step toward a healthier way of life, and a company willing
to support their efforts. "I believe healthier employees are
happier, more productive and cost the company less money,"
said Guest. "Ultimately, everyone benefits: the employee, the
family, the employer and the community."

'Cue
up your scorecards for a barbecue-tasting party
By
LIZ COLLINS
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com
Editor's
note: Through friends in North Carolina, we heard about a recent
blind tasting of barbecue that made for a great party. In the
spirit of July Fourth -- and because we always love talking about
'cue and comparing notes -- we're turning today's editor's column
over to Liz Collins of Durham to explain how she set up the tasting
-- and who won.
DURHAM,
N.C., July 2, 2009 - I held a "blind barbecue tasting"
a few weeks ago to "pit" (ugh) two North Carolina barbecues,
two South Carolina barbecues and one Georgia barbecue against each
other. From Durham, we had Hog Heaven and Backyard Barbecue. The
South Carolina meats were both from Manning, located along I-95.
They were McCabe's and D&H, and both had received rave reviews
on various food blogs. The Georgia barbecue was from Lowcountry
Barbecue in Johns Creek.
All
of the meat was handled in the same manner so as not to give any
one BBQ an edge. Bought at different times, each pound of meat was
vacuum-packed, using a FoodSaver, and frozen in individual bags
with coding to keep them straight. The night of the tasting, all
of the bags were put into one large pot of boiling water and reheated
at the same time. This saved time, stove space and, to my delight,
kept in their individual "juices" and reinfused the sauces
with the meat. It worked very well.
To
judge the barbecue, I drew lines across sturdy recycled-paper plates
using a Sharpie to create six wedges. On the rim of the plate, I
labeled each section "I" through "V", to correspond
with the "blind" numbering system for the BBQ. (Yes, there
was one blank section.)
D&H
Barbecue in Manning |
About
16 of us judged the meats on appearance, taste/flavor and tenderness/texture.
The scorecard had an "overall favorite" section with the
three categories noted for scoring one's favorite smoked pork, then
individual barbecue scoring sections to get more detail on specific
iterations in the three categories.
To
start, each participant was asked to place a small amount of barbecue
on his or her plate in the correct section, then rate the meat according
to the score sheet. Once the tasting part of the evening was complete,
we then devoured the remaining meat with small slider buns and various
side dishes (a homemade vinaigrette-style cole slaw, homemade mac
'n' cheese, Crock Pot baked beans, purchased hushpuppies, and various
desserts). The drink of the night was Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka on
the rocks, with guests bringing whatever else they wanted to drink.
Interestingly,
in the individual categories, the two from South Carolina had fabulous
scores for appearance as they exhibited good "pulled pork"
chunks/strands, but scored lower in taste/flavor, while the Durham
offerings - both looked similar, very chopped and "mushy"
- scored best on taste/appearance and tenderness.
The
drink of the night: SC's own Firefly Sweet Tea vodka |
In
the individual scoring, the order of favorites ran as follows: D&H
(S.C.) at 135 total points; Lowcountry (Ga.) at 134 points; McCabe's
(S.C.) at 123; Backyard BBQ (N.C.) at 121 points; and Hog Heaven
(N.C.) at 112 points. Please note: Some participants left certain
questions blank, and this group of Duke graduates didn't necessarily
follow directions!
In
the overall, "general" scoring, Lowcountry Barbecue in
Georgia won this particular tasting, and deservedly so, with its
meat rated very, very good in all categories. And the bad news?
Their only retail outlet, in Johns Creek, Ga., is no longer in business,
although their catering business remains operational.
It
was a nice twist on a dinner party and made for a fun evening. We'll
likely do another blind tasting again, probably with just Triangle
area selections (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill) next time.

presented several awards at its annual meeting on June 26 at the
Charleston Area Convention Center.

Harry
Hallman, formerly mayor of Mount Pleasant, was honored with the
2009 Joseph P. Riley Leadership Award. The honor goes to an individual
who shows outstanding leadership qualities and uses his skills to
make the region a better place. Hallman served as mayor from 2000
to May of 2009, when he stepped down because of an ongoing battle
with Alzheimer's disease.
Dick
Elliott of Maverick Southern Kitchens received the Chamber Staff
Volunteer of the Year Award for leading the 2009 Total Resource
Campaign. "When it came to accepting the charge of chairing
our Total Resource Campaign, we knew we had to find the right leader,"
said Bobby Collins, past chamber chairman. Even though Elliott was
in the midst of launching a new restaurant and running his business,
he accepted the responsibility, kept the momentum going and wasn't
afraid to set a large goal even though many people thought it was
unachievable, Collins said.
Janet
Newham was honored with the Chamber Staff of the Year Award. Newham
is the senior vice president of resource development and has been
with the chamber for 12 years. She has successfully led 10 Total
Resource Campaign by not just meeting but exceeding the fundraising
goal and has lead the evolution to a more disciplined understanding
of the correlation of investing in the chamber and the return on
investment through the chamber's program of work in the community.
The
chamber also presented Roper St. Francis Healthcare with the 1773
Chamber Award of the Year, which goes to a business that reflects
the core values of the chamber: leadership, relevance, integrity,
diversity and innovation.

A
new exhibit of the work of local photographer Margaret Wood Atwood
features images inspired by the timelessness of the Lowcountry.
The "Past is Present" exhibit will be open throughout
July in the Saul Alexander Gallery at the Charleston County Public
Library's Main Branch, 68 Calhoun St., downtown.
Atwood
says the exhibit "includes images of icons no longer here,
such as The Cavallaro in its original form and the expanse of the
old Cooper River bridges, and those that give the impression that
they will be here long after we are gone, such as the Sheldon church
and the Angel Oak. A lot of these images were created using infrared
film, giving them a glowing and almost mystical quality. This is
the first time I have displayed this group of images together, and
I hope the effect is one of soothing history all around, present
even when gone."

HISTORY
SPOTLIGHT
Charles Cotesworth
Pinckney
(First of two parts)
Soldier,
statesman and diplomat, Pinckney was born in Charleston on February
14, 1746, to Charles Pinckney, a lawyer and member of the provincial
council, and Elizabeth Lucas, who helped introduce indigo cultivation
in South Carolina. In 1753 Pinckney accompanied his family to London,
where his father served as the colony's agent until 1758. …
He matriculated at both Christ Church College, Oxford, and at the
Middle Temple, the London legal training ground. While at Oxford
he attended lectures by the famed legal scholar Sir William Blackstone
and listened to debates in the House of Commons pertaining to the
American colonies. … Following a tour of Europe, he returned
to South Carolina, where he began a successful legal practice.
Pinckney |
Pinckney
entered public service in 1769 with election to the Commons House
of Assembly, where he represented St. John's Colleton Parish during
the remainder of royal rule. Pinckney also served in the local militia,
eventually attaining the rank of colonel. In 1773 he was made attorney
general for the judicial districts of Camden, Cheraws, and Georgetown.
That same year, on September 28, he married Sarah Middleton, daughter
of the wealthy and well-connected Henry Middleton. The marriage
produced four children. ... By early 1775 Pinckney was a member
of all the important revolutionary committees, from which he advocated
aggressive measures, including stealing royal arms from the Statehouse,
penning inflammatory epistles to backcountry inhabitants, and planning
the defense of Charleston against a possible British attack. At
the same time, Pinckney served in the extralegal Provincial Congress,
where he assisted in creating and training a rebel army and chaired
the committee responsible for drafting a temporary frame of government
for the province.
Once
hostilities erupted with Britain, Pinckney switched his role as
a politician to that of a soldier. Appointed commander of the First
Regiment of South Carolina troops, he assisted in the successful
defense of Charleston at the Battle of Sullivan's Island in June
1776. When the British moved north following this defeat, Pinckney
followed to serve as an aide-de-camp to General George Washington.
He participated at the battles of Brandywine and Germantown before
rejoining the southern army to command a regiment in the expedition
to East Florida and at the siege of Savannah. During the defense
of Charleston he commanded Fort Moultrie and made a futile attempt
to convince General Benjamin Lincoln, commander of the southern
army, to defend the capital at all costs. When Charleston fell,
the British placed Pinckney under house arrest and made a hapless
attempt to lure him away from the American cause. The British later
sent Pinckney to Philadelphia, where he was exchanged in 1782. He
rejoined the southern army but saw no further action. Pinckney's
first wife, Sarah Middleton, died in 1784, and he married Mary Stead
in 1786.

THE
LIST
Old Exchange
Five
Charleston's
Old Exchange Building is widely considered one of the three most
historic buildings in America, along with Independence Hall in Philadelphia
and Faneuil Hall in Boston. Here are five facts for the Fourth about
the Old Exchange:
1) The
Exchange Building was built between 1767 and 1771.
2)
South Carolina delegates to the First Continental Congress were
elected here in 1774.
3) The
Provost Dungeon was used as a prison by the British during the
Revolution.
4) South
Carolinians ratified the U.S. Constitution in the building's Great
Hall.
5)
During a renovation of the building in the 1981, it was discovered
that the vaulted ceilings of the cellar are only one brick thick
at the point of the vault, an engineering masterpiece. The vaults
are leveled above with loads of sand to support the original purbeck
stone of the main floor. In the sand, project architect John M.
Mitchell Jr. found single unbroken oyster shells. It appears the
workmen more than 200 years ago helped themselves to oysters growing
along the riverbanks at the front of the building, ate the oysters
for lunch, then tossed the empty shells into the sand they were
using for fill. A little Revolutionary recycling …
