New
school to offer gifted kids the challenges they need
By STACEY LINDBERGH
Palmetto Scholars Academy
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com
AUG.
6, 2009 -- In August 2010, one school will deliver two "firsts"
in Lowcountry education. Palmetto Scholars Academy (PSA) will be
the first regional public school and the first gifted and talented
charter school. As one of only seven gifted and talented charter
schools in the nation, PSA will open with grades six through eight,
adding a higher grade each year until it encompasses a middle school
and a high school with 504 students total.
Lindbergh |
Why
do we need a gifted and talented school in the Lowcountry? According
to the S.C. Department of Education, 4,063 children in Berkeley,
Charleston and Dorchester counties in grades six through eight are
state-identified as gifted and talented. Currently in the tri-county
area, there is only one middle school, Buist Academy, and one high
school, Academic Magnet High School, that are focused on advanced
learners. Both schools require Charleston County residency and have
long waiting lists.
Dr.
Shelagh Gallagher, a nationally recognized leader in gifted and
talented curriculum, has been retained as PSA's curriculum consultant.
The curriculum at PSA, Dr. Gallagher states, "will move faster
through standard content and will also emphasize exploring information
in greater depth and complexity, with an emphasis on conceptual
reasoning and connecting intellectual knowledge with experiences
that bring abstract ideas to life."
Dr.
Gallagher explains: "Like all other kids, gifted kids tend
to develop their skills in reasoning when they are challenged. The
difference between gifted kids and others is that it takes advanced
content to really challenge them. If all they ever get is the regular
curriculum, they may end up good at memorizing but relatively poor
at reasoning, and that's quite a waste, not only for the students
but for the rest of us as well. Gifted students I've known who attended
specialized schools like this have had a central role in the development
of the World Wide Web, have been influential in the field of sustainable
development and have discovered planets - not because we told them
they had to change the world, but because we helped them to fully
become who they wanted to be."
Per
its mission, PSA students will engage with leading innovative organizations
in higher education, business, the arts and science. PSA will not
only educate its students, but plans are under way to establish
the school as a platform to serve the need of gifted and talented
students across the state through Summer Institutes at the school,
through opportunities for undergraduate and graduate level university
students to learn how to teach gifted and talented students, and
through research on gifted and talented education.
Much
work lies ahead to prepare for the opening of PSA on Aug. 18, 2010.
Volunteers are needed on committees such as Grants Management, Fundraising,
Finance, Student Enrollment, Business Partnerships, and Faculty
Recruitment. An added benefit of participation is priority enrollment
for the children of charter committee members. Any student, regardless
of county of residency, may attend PSA. The only enrollment requirements
are eligibility for grade level and the desire for a rigorous academic
environment geared to advanced learners.
If
interested, please contact
me by email or sign up for our e-mail newsletters at http://www.palmettoscholarsacademy.org.
You will find participation fun and interesting, and your efforts
will benefit children and your community.
Dr.
Gallagher notes, "When an 11-year-old is talented in basketball,
we don't tell him to stop playing because he's unusually good. We
find ways to put him with other kids who are equally talented and
then give him exposure to expert teachers and specialized equipment
so he can hone his raw talent into something remarkable. That's
the whole idea behind PSA, except the students we're targeting are
those with exceptional talent in academics instead of sports."
Stacey
Lindbergh is a longtime advocate for advanced learners who has spearheaded
the effort to establish Palmetto Scholars Academy and to win approval
for the school from the board of the S.C. Public Charter School
District. The SCPCSD unanimously approved Palmetto Scholars Academy
on July 9.

Christmas cookie
contest has plenty of local flavor
By
ANN THRASH, editor
For CharlestonCurrents.com
AUG.
6, 2009 -- If Charleston were a Christmas cookie, would it be a
Warm Welcome, a Polite Palmetto with Sweet Tea Glaze, or a Christmas
on the Piazza? That was the decision facing the judges on Wednesday
in a local restaurant's Christmas Cookie Contest.
Thrash |
Circa
1886, the multiple-award-winning restaurant at the Wentworth Mansion
downtown, announced the cookie contest earlier this summer and invited
recipes and ideas from the community. The competition was a follow-up
to the success of a contest last year that asked participants to
come up with a distinctively Charleston ice cream. The winner was
Seersucker -- a vanilla ice cream base studded with Charleston Chews
candy, blueberries and honey-roasted peanuts. Yum!
The
cookie contest asked the culinary question, "If Charleston
were a Christmas cookie, what would it be?" A few dozen people
entered the contest, and the chefs at the restaurant narrowed the
field to three promising contenders. The cookie candidates had plenty
of Charleston touches, not just in their names, but in their ingredients
- benne seeds, pineapple and sweet tea, for example.
The
judging yesterday drew a couple of media types along with the contestants,
their family members and supporters. The audience got to enjoy samples
of each of the three cookies while the judges -- chef and cookbook
author Nathalie Dupree, Charleston Cookie Co. owner Judith Moore,
and WCBD Channel 2 anchorwoman Tara Lynn -- rated the cookies on
flavor, originality and how well they represented Charleston.
The
three finalists in the Circa 1886 Christmas Cookie Contest
were (from left) Warm Welcome Cookies, Polite Palmettos with
Sweet Tea Glaze, and Christmas on the Piazza. The winner,
Polite Palmettos, was baked in the shape of a palmetto for
the judges. (Photo by Ann Thrash) |
When
the points were tallied and the last cookie crumbled, the winner
was Nona Pontiff, who came up with the Polite Palmettos with Sweet
Tea Glaze. It truly was a delicious cookie, with a texture like
light shortbread and that neat sweet tea glaze and benne seeds on
top.
Pontiff
will receive a gift certificate for a dinner for four at Circa 1886,
and her cookie will be served as the holiday cookie on the restaurant's
dessert menu throughout December. The runners-up -- Kathy Smith's
Christmas on the Piazza Cookies and Courtney Clarkson's Warm Welcomes
- definitely did themselves proud. Both were first-rate, and I'm
glad I didn't have to pick just one winner.
While
talking with the judges after the contest, Pontiff described herself
as a "hobby baker," but the judges made it clear that
they thought her creation rose to a higher level. There was even
a suggestion that she enter the Pillsbury Bake-Off, which has a
first prize of $1 million.
Ultimately,
I think it was the sweet tea glaze that put the winning cookie over
the top. Pontiff mentioned that she had tried several versions of
the glaze, including one made with Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka. Spiked
Christmas cookies! Charlestonians would probably love them, but
be careful if you leave them for Santa- - he's driving, you know.

CSO
announces 'Celebrate Charleston' focus for new season
The
2009-10 performance season for the Charleston Symphony Orchestra,
which begins next month, will focus on the Lowcountry's musical
landscape past and present with the theme "Celebrate Charleston,"
the CSO announced earlier this week. Performances will range "from
'Porgy and Bess' to the talent of the CSO's very own musicians,
to contemporary artists and composers whose work and performances
are inspired by this magical city we call home," said a statement
from the CSO.
"Celebrate
Charleston" will feature 10 performances led by guest conductors
from around the world, many of whom have directed the CSO in years
past. The focus on home-grown and visiting talent - pianists, drummers,
horn players and vocalists, and performers from colleges and churches
- is designed to attract local audiences as well as visitors to
appreciate the city and rediscover the CSO.
The
main venues for the CSO will be the Galliard and Memminger auditoriums,
with a number of special events and series at local churches. Season
tickets are on sale now, and single tickets will be on sale beginning
Sept. 15. To buy tickets or learn more, go to http://www.charlestonsymphony.com.
'Ornament
of Hope' on sale, will support adult literacy
The
Trident Literacy Association's 2009 Christmas Ornament of Hope,
featuring artist Anne Worsham Richardson's painting "Pine Grosbeak,"
is now on sale to help support the organization's adult literacy
programs. Since 1991, Richardson has donated the use of one of her
paintings to South Carolina Literacy Volunteers to create an ornament
to benefit their efforts. Elizabeth Anne Neiman of The Charleston
Mint creates the exclusive interpretation from watercolor to metal.
Trident
Literacy offers the Ornament of Hope annually. Each ornament is
24k gold on solid brass with baked enameling. All ornaments include
a numbered certificate of authenticity, making them popular as collectibles.
Single ornaments are $15. A matted-and-framed version with a print
of the Anne Worsham Richardson painting that inspired the ornament
is available for $35 plus $5 postage and handling. Limited supplies
of previous years' ornaments are also available.
The
painting that inspired the ornament is particularly noteworthy because
it was featured on the cover of National Wildlife Magazine -- the
only work of art by a woman ever to grace the cover.
For information or to order ornaments, contact Trident Literacy
at 747-2223 or go to www.tridentlit.org.

HISTORY
SPOTLIGHT
Sylvia Woods
A
restaurateur, author and businesswoman, Woods was born in Brooklyn,
New York, on February 2, 1926, the only child of Van and Julia Pressley.
Her father died three days later, and Sylvia and her mother moved
to Hemingway, South Carolina, to live with her maternal grandparents
on their thirty-five-acre farm. It was here that Woods learned to
cook traditional southern and African American food.
Sylvia
married Herbert Woods in Hemingway on January 18, 1944. They started
a family, which would eventually grow to include four children,
and she owned a beauty parlor. In 1950 the family moved to Harlem,
and in 1954 she began waiting tables at Johnson's Restaurant. Eight
years later she bought the eatery with a $20,000 loan from her mother,
who mortgaged the family farm to raise the money, and renamed it
Sylvia's.
Sylvia's
became a popular neighborhood restaurant, but it was not until New
York magazine's food critic Gael Greene wrote a 1979 article dubbing
Woods "the queen of soul food" that the business gained
worldwide attention. Her simple southern dishes - many of which
were created by Hemingway native Ruth Gully, who ran the restaurant's
kitchen from 1975 until her death in 1995 - attracted throngs of
tourists each year and have spawned a multi-million-dollar empire,
Sylvia Woods Enterprises. The company includes the Harlem restaurant,
an Atlanta branch, cookbooks, and a successful line of packaged
food products sold in stores across the country.
By
the early twenty-first century Wood's four children ran the business,
and she divided her time between Hemingway and Harlem (Herbert Woods
died in June 2001). Her 1999 cookbook, "Sylvia's Family Soul
Food Cookbook," is an homage to her childhood in Hemingway,
a town that, she wrote, "has more great cooks per square inch
than you would find in most cooking schools."

 THE
LIST
Sales tax
holiday
One of the
state's periodic "Sales Tax Holiday" weekends begins tomorrow.
Designed to give consumers a break (and the economy a boost) by
letting shoppers keep what they'd normally pay in sales taxes, the
tax holiday begins Friday at 12:01 a.m. and ends Sunday at midnight.
Here are five questions and answers on the tax holiday from the
state Web site http://www.sctax.org. For a full list of items that
are and are not tax-free, go
here online.
Q: Does
the sales tax holiday apply to sales made by mail order, Internet
or similar retailers?
A: Yes, provided the item sold is one qualifying for the exemption
and the sale occurs during the three days of the sales tax holiday.
Q: How are
exchanges of items purchased during the holiday handled when returned
after the holiday?
A: If a customer purchases an exempt item during the holiday and
later exchanges the item for the same item (different size, color,
etc.), no additional tax will be due even if the exchange is made
after the sales tax holiday. However, if the customer returns the
item after the tax holiday and receives credit on the purchase of
a different item, the sales or use tax will apply to the newly purchased
item.
Q: Does
the holiday apply to local sales and use taxes collected by the
department on behalf of counties that have imposed such taxes?
A: Yes, provided the item sold is one qualifying for the exemption
and the sale occurs during the three days of the holiday.
Q: Are delivery
charges subject to the tax during the holiday?
A: Most delivery charges are included in the tax base for the sales
tax and the use tax. If an item qualifies for the exemption under
the sales tax holiday, then all delivery charges associated with
that sale are exempt.
Q: Can retailers
elect not to participate in the holiday and collect the sales tax
from their customers on eligible items during the holiday?
A: No. Retailers may only pass on to their customers sales taxes
that are legally due.
