FOCUS
New
state-funded online high school looks to the future
By DR. DARRELL JOHNSON
Executive director, Provost Academy
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com
JULY
16, 2009 -- Provost Academy South Carolina is the state's newest
online school, which is free to S.C. high school students as a fully
accredited and state-funded charter school. PASC is designed to
help students succeed in today's technological age by utilizing
the latest advancements such as streaming video, podcasts, virtual
classrooms, specialized coursework and on-demand tutoring to provide
students a complete and tech-savvy education.
Johnson |
We
have reached a point, with dropout rates near 70 percent, where
we can no longer allow students in South Carolina to fail. We must
ensure that they have the opportunity to obtain a diploma and pursue
a future based on choice, not limitations. By offering students
another educational avenue, we increase their chances to succeed
and pursue opportunities that may not have been available to them
otherwise.
Provost
Academy's mission is to offer a first-class education to all high
school students in South Carolina. By using the latest technologies,
customized curriculum and a focus on science and mathematics, we
offer a gateway to overall student success. Provost Academy individualizes
the learning experience for its students and prepares them for the
next level, whether the 21st-century workforce or higher education.
PASC
helps students succeed by making sure they are supported by a team
of certified and specialized instructors as well as academic advisors
who work with the students to ensure they are setting goals, meeting
performance expectations and staying on their individualized tracks.
Prior
to the first day of classes, Provost students take an assessment
test, and the students, along with their parents/guardians, can
meet with academic advisers to help create a customized learning
plan that that best fits each student's needs and interests.
After
the enrollment process is complete, Provost will supply students
with a computer, printer/scanner and an Internet stipend, free of
charge, that will allow them to attend classes online and at a location
and time that works with their schedule. Students, parents and guardians
can easily arrange a face-to-face meeting with their advisors, who
will work to ensure that the student's learning process is progressing
smoothly.
As
a state-funded school, PASC has core classes that each student must
complete. The academy also offers advanced curricula, such as technology,
art and foreign language classes. Grading scales at Provost follow
those of other public schools, with the school year starting and
ending on a similar schedule, but flexible to accommodate individual
needs. After students have completed their four years at PASC, they
will be able to participate in a graduation ceremony held by PASC
and will receive a high school diploma that is the same as they
would receive from a brick-and-mortar school.
Students
and parents interested in learning more or applying to Provost Academy
South Carolina can log on at http://www.sc.provostacademy.com
or call 1-877-919-PASC (7272). An enrollment quota/cap of 1,000
is currently in place with more than 800 students already enrolled.
Along with South Carolina, there are 38 other states that currently
offer online courses for high school students.
Each
and every opportunity to provide students with the most engaging
educational experience must be pursued. Whether in a traditional
classroom or an online setting, if we expect our students to succeed,
we cannot fail them.
Dr.
Darrell Johnson is executive director of Provost Academy.

Be on the lookout
for manatees while boating
By
ANN THRASH, editor
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com
JULY
16, 2009 -- A friend who took his boat out for a little fishing
near the Old Pitt Street Bridge last weekend saw a manatee - his
first - and it left quite an impression on him. He described it
to me as looking "almost like a mistake" - big and whisker-faced,
gray with hairs all over its body, and about 6 feet long.
Thrash |
With
(at least) one of these endangered animals hanging around the harbor,
it's a good time to share some guidelines about manatees from the
S.C. Department of Natural Resources - including how you can avoid
a collision with one while boating and how you can help ensure their
survival.
The
DNR says the first reports of manatees started coming into their
offices in mid-May this year. Each spring, manatees migrate up from
Florida as our water temperatures get into the upper 60s. In the
summer, they live in tidal rivers, estuaries and marine waters near
shore, not only in South Carolina but in Georgia as well. When our
water temps begin cooling down again in September and October, the
manatees are on the move once more, heading back to Florida for
the winter.
Manatees
can be hard to see in our often cloudy waters; they're usually grayish
in color, often with barnacles or algae on their bodies, and sometimes
propeller scars if they've been hit by a boat. Their bodies are
shaped like seals, and they have paired flippers and a round tail
shaped like a paddle. And, as my friend Matt noted, they've got
very prominent whiskers and coarse hairs on their bodies.
Here
are some pointers from DNR about how to avoid collisions with a
manatee while boating, along with information on how to report a
sighting. If you happen to have a camera with you, try to get a
photo - that can be a huge help, as the folks at DNR explain below.
And if you do get a photo, send one to me, too!
-
Look around for manatees before cranking your boat's motor. Wear
polarized sunglasses to reduce glare, making it easier to spot
manatees below the surface.
- Collisions
between boaters and manatees are more likely to occur in shallow
waters, particularly around docks and at the edge of marshes where
manatees feed. When the water is shallow, they cannot dive to
get out of harm's way. Follow boater safety regulations ("No
Wake," "Slow Speed," etc.) in these areas to reduce
the risk of a collision. DNR also says boaters should watch for
manatee backs, tails, snouts and "footprints," a series
of round swirls on the water's surface caused by a swimming manatee's
tail.
-
If your boat accidentally collides with a manatee, stand by in
the area and contact the U.S. Coast Guard on VHF Channel 16 or
call DNR at 1-800-922-5431. This is the best way you can help
not only the animal, which might be hurt, but also biologists
who are trying to study and learn more about them.
-
To
report a healthy, live manatee, call Nicole Adimey of the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service at (904) 731-3079 or (904) 655-0730.
or e-mail her at Nicole_Adimey@fws.gov.
You can also report a sighting at a DNR
Web site devoted to manatees. Note the date, time and place
of the sighting, the number of manatees you saw, and the coordinates,
if possible. "Photographs of scars on their backs and tails
are especially useful because they can often be used to identify
previously known manatees," DNR says.
-
If you see an injured or dead manatee, call the DNR Hotline at
1-800-922-5431.
-
If you see a manatee near a dock, don't feed it or try to give
it fresh water. This could teach it to approach docks, putting
it at greater risk of a boat strike. It should go without saying,
but you should also never pursue, harass or play with manatees.
Not only are all these actions bad for the manatees, they're illegal.

To
the editor:
I
go to Roper Cardiac Rehab for workouts three times a week, and I
have been going for about two years now. Last year, to celebrate
one year of health, I started a "Red Shirt Friday" in
August. This was in conjunction with American Hearth Month. This
year we will do the Red Shirt Fridays again in August. Mount Pleasant
Seafood will donate $1 per red shirt worn to Roper Rehab workouts
on Fridays in August. Thank you.

Local
Day of Caring sees huge increase in project requests
Trident
United Way's Day of Caring - the largest in the nation, beating
out even cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Atlanta
- will be getting even larger this year. The deadline for nonprofit
agencies to submit project requests was July 7, and this year 200
projects have been submitted - up from 60 projects last year.
The
local Day of Caring, planned for Sept. 11, will mark its 10th anniversary
this year. The event is larger than all the other Day of Caring
events in the state, according to Trident United Way.
Don
Kassing, CEO of JW Aluminum and chairman of the 2009 Day of Caring,
says he doesn't expect the final total to triple, but the number
of early submissions does suggest that the number of projects will
be larger this year than last. "We believe that's partly a
function of improved processes using the latest online technology
and more volunteer involvement," Kassing says. "We also
see ever-increasing enthusiasm for Day of Caring among our agency
and corporate partners and their employees."
This
year, Trident United Way recruited Project Assessment volunteers
to vet projects and help nonprofit organizations determine their
volunteer and supply needs. The Project Assessment Team helped agencies
identify their projects more quickly. Earlier this year, President
Obama proclaimed Sept. 11 as a national day of service and remembrance.
Trident United Way hopes that might also spur companies and organizations
that have yet to become engaged in Day of Caring to join this year.
For
more information, contact the Trident United Way at http://www.tuw.org
or call 740-9000.
Gospel Choir, Spiritual
Ensemble to hold new member tryouts
The
Charleston Symphony Orchestra Gospel Choir and its sister group,
the CSO Spiritual Ensemble, are looking for new volunteer members,
especially singers whose voices are in the lower ranges (tenor and
bass).
The
CSO Gospel Choir will hold voice-assessment auditions at 5:30 p.m.
July 30 and Aug. 4 at Citadel Square Baptist Church Fellowship Hall,
342 Meeting St., downtown. Candidates should come prepared to sing
a solo of their own choosing and also to vocalize in a choral setting.
The choir, under the direction of Sandra Barnhardt, has 110 members
who perform gospels and spirituals around the Lowcountry.
The
group will be preparing this season for the Charleston Symphony
Orchestra's Sept. 17 opening night gala performance of "Porgy
and Bess," as well as the 10th annual Gospel Christmas and
Gala on Dec. 5. The group also offers a Palm Sunday concert and
Piccolo Spoleto performances. Rehearsals are held Tuesday evenings
at Citadel Square Baptist Church and begin on Aug. 18.
The
Spiritual Ensemble, directed by Nathan Nelson, is a 35-member vocal
group focusing on African-American spirituals. The group will have
voice assessments at 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. Aug. 8 at the Citadel Square
fellowship hall. The ensemble performs gospel concerts throughout
the tri-county area and will begin rehearsals on Aug. 11 this season.

Hollings Center to
be featured on Jersey Mike's cups
The
Medical University's Hollings Cancer Center will be featured on
beverage cups at Jersey
Mike's franchises nationwide this summer. The story is one of
14 that will showcase how Jersey Mike's stores across the country
contribute to the communities they serves.
Local
Jersey Mike's owners recently organized a fundraiser that brought
in several thousand dollars for the cancer center. "Hollings
Cancer Center is one of the nation's leading cancer research hospitals,"
says Jay Yates, Jersey Mike's owner and S.C. area director. "I
applaud and thank our local stores for raising funds and awareness
for such an important cause."
All
14 designs in the cup series will be in circulation by the end of
August, with each story appearing on 325,000 cups (the 22-ounce
size). Each cup will feature the words "Making a difference
in someone's life."
Jersey
Mike's has Lowcountry stores at St. James Plaza in Goose Creek,
the Food Lion Plaza on Sycamore Avenue in Charleston, University
Boulevard in North Charleston, and three locations in Mount Pleasant:
Northcutt Plaza, Highway 17 North near Snee Farm, and Highway 17
North near Park West and Charleston National.
Town
to sponsor driver safety courses at senior center
The
town of Mount Pleasant offered AARP Driver Safety Courses earlier
this year for adults and senior citizens, and the classes were so
popular that officials have decided to offer them again this month
and next. Drivers over age 50 who successfully complete the classes
are often eligible for discounts on their car insurance.
The
two-day program will be held from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. July 20 and
July 22, as well as Aug. 10 and Aug. 12, at the town's Senior Services
Center Thomasena Stokes-Marshall Building. The course is designed
to help drivers become aware of and counteract age-related changes
that can affect their driving abilities. No driving is required
during the course. Gary Jaster, a recreation specialist at the senior
center, is the instructor.
The
class is open to anyone age 50 or older, and costs $14 per person.
Members of AARP receive a discounted rate of $12. For more information
or to register, call 856-2166 or stop by the Senior Services Center
at 840 Von Kolnitz Road, near the intersection of Von Kolnitz and
Mathis Ferry roads.
REVIEW
"The
End of Overeating"
Going
out for a simple ice cream cone used to be a treat. Now we expect
to have several scoops with some mini candy bars mixed into it.
In "The End of Overeating," David Kessler talks about
how our expectations of food have changed and how the food industry
markets to us. His conversations with food researchers are rather
alarming as he learns how much of our food really is not made of
food, but rather a combination of chemicals and flavors that drive
people to eat even more. Not to leave the reader discouraged, he
offers suggestions on "reprogramming" the way we think
about food and how to beat the marketing messages we receive about
foods we really should not be eating at all. Overall, this is a
great book for those who know they need a healthier way of eating
or who have an interest in the food industry.

HISTORY
SPOTLIGHT
Opera
houses
In
the period between 1880 and 1920, opera houses flourished in communities
across South Carolina. Beginning in the 1880s, as the state recovered
from the Civil War, opera houses provided live entertainment for
citizens who were able to afford leisure activities. By 1915 there
were opera houses in Columbia, Sumter, Greenville, Florence, Newberry,
Darlington, Laurens, Marion, Abbeville, and Bishopville, among other
communities.
Newberry
Opera House |
Especially
in the larger towns, opera houses were imposing, architecturally
distinctive buildings with elaborate interiors. Newberry's three-story
brick opera house, featuring a bell tower, was constructed in 1882.
Sumter's 1893 opera house was a three-story, Richardson Romanesque
stone structure with a one-hundred-foot clock tower. Columbia's
second opera house, built in 1900, was three stories with two towers.
It had a large stage, concealed overhead machinery for curtains
and scenery, an orchestra pit, spectator boxes, and two galleries.
In smaller communities, opera houses were more modest and often
located on the second floor of multi-purpose buildings. For example,
the opera house in Laurens was situated above the city hall, and
Marion's opera house was on the second floor of a building that
housed the courtroom, jail, and fire department on the first floor.
"Road
shows" that traveled the country provided dramatic productions,
musical comedies, operas, minstrel shows, and other live entertainment.
Columbia's opera house booked Broadway hits and stars such as Sarah
Bernhardt, Ethel Barrymore, Lillian Russell, and Nat Goodwin. Even
in a smaller community such as Abbeville, special trains brought
theater patrons from nearby towns to see traveling shows such as
the "Klansman," "Yankee Drummer," the Ziegfield
Follies, or an escape artist. The Marion Opera House featured traveling
theatrical companies as well as local talent.
By
the 1930s the new sound movies had eclipsed live entertainment,
and some of the opera houses converted to motion picture theaters.
By 1941 "South Carolina: A Guide to the Palmetto State"
reported, "Most of the old opera houses in the State have now
been pre-empted for movie theatres." In the decades after 1930
most of the opera houses in the state were demolished. A few survived,
however, and in the last decades of the twentieth century several
of them were restored, including the Abbeville Opera House, the
Sumter Opera House, the Marion Opera House, and the Newberry Opera
House.
