Local
recording studio releases CD of area favorites
By JON YARIAN
Charleston writer and media consultant
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com
AUG.
20, 2009 -- When Charleston musicians wanted a radio-quality recording
of their music, it used to mean a trip to Atlanta, Nashville or
beyond.
Yarian

Not
anymore. The buzz around the Lowcountry music scene this summer
is all about Charleston Sound, a state-of-the-art studio located
in Mount Pleasant. It's the brainchild of owner and chief engineer
Jeff Hodges, a longtime producer who moved his family here two years
ago and embarked on an ambitious plan to bring top-level audio production
to Charleston.
The
studio opened in February after a year of construction and fine-tuning.
Since then, it's seen an eclectic group of local and national artists,
recording everything from rock and jazz to advertising spots and
audiobooks.
Today,
Hodges and his staff have just launched the definitive statement
on the studio thus far: an 11-song compilation CD featuring some
of Charleston's most exciting local artists called "Charleston
Sound Presents: I Got Music." Originally conceived as a means
to introduce the studio and get to know area musicians, the project
took more than six months to complete. Each artist was given a full
day of free recording time at the studio, and Hodges personally
mixed and produced each track. The result is funky blend of rock,
blues and country, an audio snapshot of Charleston's music scene
during the summer of 2009.
"It's
exciting because for many of these artists, this is the first radio-ready
cut they have had the opportunity to record," Hodges says.
"The project has been really gratifying for us because of what
it means to these musicians. They play their hearts out every night
around Charleston, and this was a great way to appreciate and support
them."
The
CD is available online, through independent local retailers and
at Piggly Wiggly locations across the Lowcountry. Sales will benefit
the artists and a portion of the proceeds will go to Lowcountry
Local First, an advocacy organization dedicated to strengthening
the local economy.
Headlined
by area favorites The Plainfield Project (voted best local band
of 2009 by readers of the Charleston City Paper) and Dangermuffin,
the CD is a showcase of up-and-coming talent. Other featured artists
include Mac Leaphart, Part-Time Heroes, Skye Paige & the Original
Recipe, Firework Show, The Graham Whorley Band and more.
For
Hodges, the compilation is just a first step in a long-term commitment
to area musicians. "We're here to serve the community and plan
to stick around a long time," he says. "This is my passion
and I'm thrilled to work in such a great community of artists."

CURRENTS
The
good, the bad and the spineless
By
ANN THRASH, editor

AUG.
20, 2009 -- Summer isn't over in Charleston until Halloween, as
far as I'm concerned, but with schools back in session this week,
there's a summer's-over feeling in the air, and I've found myself
looking back and reflecting on The Vegetable Garden That Was. It
was my first venture growing veggies beyond the basic tomato-plant-in-a-pot
efforts, and I'd say that all in all, it was a mixed bag with more
positives than negatives. Some vegetables, we'll do again; others,
we'll stick to picking up at the farmers market.

Back
in the spring, my husband built a beautiful raised bed in a sunny
corner of the garden, and we planted tomatoes, eggplant, yellow
squash, zucchini and cucumbers. Here are the winners and losers
from the crop:
The
Biggest Flop Award: The cucumbers. All I can say is that they
were a major disappointment - and in talking to other friends around
the Lowcountry, it seemed that we weren't the only ones with a miserable
crop this year. We got one normal-looking cuke; the rest were freak-show
cukes, bulbous and sickly green on one end, skinny and white on
the other. The vines were covered with flowers, but it was all show,
no dough. We ended up with two -- that is, two that I wasn't scared
to eat because they were so bizarre-looking.
The
Biggest Surprise Award: Eggplant! We put out two plants, and
we've been well-stocked with nice-sized, tasty eggplant for about
six weeks now. The 'Black Beauty' variety did us proud. My favorite
way to fix eggplant is a pretty simple takeoff on how Mom used to
do it. I peel them, slice them pretty thin (about one-quarter of
an inch) and let them sit for about 30 minutes in a mixture of 1
quart cold water and 2 tablespoons kosher salt. I drain them, rinse
them and pat them dry, dip them in little beaten egg, then coat
them with my favorite crumb mixture - it's regular dry bread crumbs,
crushed Ritz crackers and little bit of cornmeal for crunch. We
fry them in a little canola oil with a touch of butter (or, if I'm
feeling decadent, a bit of bacon drippings). Good stuff!
Most
Reliable Producer Award: The tomatoes. We started out with four
plants; one died a mysterious death, and the other three produced
pretty well until about a month ago. We weren't overrun with 'maters,
but we had a good supply - just enough to keep us happy and to have
some to share. We had some delicious tomato pie, plenty of sliced
tomatoes for simple side dishes at supper, and a little extra for
some homemade tomato sauce to put up for the winter. We also had
some over-the-top BLTs, thanks to an addition that a food-loving
friend recommended: a fried egg. Oh my. (By the way, I feel I should
add that my cholesterol is just fine. "Everything in moderation"
is the way to go.)
The
Spineless Beauty Award: This goes to the zucchini. Actually,
'Spineless Beauty' is the name of the variety we got -- mostly because
I bought the zucchini on the spur of the moment, hadn't done any
research on varieties, and just thought the name was funny. Our
zucchini turned out to be low in quantity, but high in quality -
so while they lacked oomph (spineless), the ones we got were keepers
(beauties).
The
"What Did We Do to Deserve This" Award: Bell peppers,
jalapeno peppers and figs. I call this the "What Did We Do
to Deserve This" category because while we enjoyed good harvests
of all three of these favorites, we didn't really do anything to
earn them. The fig tree we have was planted by the previous owner
of our house, and it's had a show-stopper of a year. We also were
the lucky beneficiaries of some next-door neighbors who moved to
Colorado last month and told us to help ourselves to their little
garden patch after they left. We're missing them, but we're loving
the stuffed jalapenos we've had.
So,
all in all, our first "real" vegetable garden turned out
to be a worthwhile venture. Now we're entertaining the idea of fall
and winter vegetables -- so if you have any ideas or want to share
what's worked for you, let me know.

County
saves $350,000 with energy conservation program
Charleston County saved about $350,000 in the second half of the
recently ended fiscal year by implementing a new internal initiative
called the Energy Conservation Program. The program was put in place
in March with goal of reducing the county's electricity consumption
10 percent by the end of fiscal year 2010 (July 1, 2009 - June 30,
2010) compared with fiscal year 2008. County officials recently
measured their progress and, according to staff, a savings of $350,000
was realized between the time the program began and June 30, when
the 2009 fiscal year ended.
"Our
tracking system shows that we've made major progress in accomplishing
our goal during the first few months of the program," said
Dan Chandler, director of the Charleston County Facilities Department.
"We've not only stopped the upward trend in electricity use,
but also used nearly 7 percent less kilowatt hours than the year
before."
"What
is impressive about this campaign is that many of these things would
have been easy to overlook," County Councilman Joe McKeown
wrote to the county staff. "This is a great example of our
staff trying to make a difference."
Because
of the program's success, the County is continuing with its initiatives
during fiscal year 2010, which began on July 1, 2009, and staff
is continuing to look for new ways to cut costs. So far, some of
the biggest cost savings measures have been:
- Ensuring
that office lights and equipment are turned off in the evenings
and when rooms are not in use.
-
Setting temperatures in county buildings at a minimum cooling
level of 74 degrees and a maximum heating level of 70 degrees.
- Turning
off or reducing heating and cooling systems in all nonemergency
and noncritical facilities during off hours.
- Replacing
magnetic fluorescent ballast lighting with electronic ballast
lighting as needed. This results in energy savings of 39 percent
per fixture.
- Replacing
incandescent light bulbs with compact florescent bulbs as they
burn out; this results in an energy savings of approximately 35
percent per bulb replaced.
- Having
more than 400 Charleston County electrical bills reviewed, which
revealed that three rate schedules could be changed to reduce
energy costs. The new rates took effect on June 1.
Town
hall meeting to focus on arts community
The
Charleston Arts Coalition, the city of Charleston's Office of Cultural
Affairs and the College of Charleston will host a town-hall style
meeting on Aug. 25 titled "Nursing Creativity Through the Economic
Slump." The meeting will run from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at
the Wachovia Auditorium in the Beatty Center, 5 Liberty St., at

 |
The

make the Lowcountry a thriving and prosperous cultural city. The
coalition will also announce the results of its recent survey of
the creative community.
Jessica Solomon Bluestein, president of the coalition, says panelists
for the meeting are expected to include Ellen Dressler Moryl, director
of the Office of Cultural Affairs; Mark Sloan, curator at the College
of Charleston's Halsey Institute; Karen Chandler, co-founder of
Charleston Jazz Initiative and arts management professor at the

Provost
Academy increasing size, distributing computers
Provost
Academy, a new state-authorized public online high school that's
free to S.C. residents, has increased its enrollment from 1,000
to 1,500 students this fall to accommodate the growing number of
students enrolling, and administrators also say that those already
enrolled will soon be receiving the technology equipment to begin
their online education on Aug. 31.
Enrolled
students will be provided a laptop computer, printer/scanner and
Internet stipend to connect them to the online high school offered
by Provost. Students work toward their regular public high school
diploma as they would in a traditional school, but they work at
home through computer-based educational programs.
"Unlike
many other online schools, Provost Academy is providing the technology
our students will need to take full advantage of the online educational
experience we offer," said Dr. Darrell Johnson, the school's
executive director. "For us, the computer is like a book a
student checks out of the school library - it will cost them nothing
to use it and (it will) have to be returned at the end of the school
year."
Students
can still enroll for the current academic year. To learn more, visit
the Web
site or call 1-877-919-7272.
Trident Health System
earns heart care recognition
Trident
Health System has achieved the bronze level in the American Heart
Association's "Get with the Guidelines" program, a hospital-based
quality improvement program that allows health care providers to
consistently treat heart patients with the most up-to-date guidelines.
Trident
submitted the necessary information and patient data to achieve
the bronze level, but will continue to collect more data in an effort
to achieve the silver award and then certification through the Joint
Commission, according to a press release from the organization.
The Joint Commission is an independent, not-for-profit organization
that accredits and certifies more than 16,000 health care organizations
and programs in the United States. Joint Commission accreditation
and certification is recognized nationwide as a symbol of quality
that reflects an organization's commitment to meeting certain performance
standards.
The
overall mission is to "show a hospital's commitment to evidence-based
care so patients have fewer readmissions and better care,"
said Catherine Reinhart, CV medical management coordinator at Trident
Health System.
Trident
Health System's goal for 2010 is to achieve the Joint Commission
certification for heart failure treatment.

HISTORY
SPOTLIGHT
Poets
laureate
A
poet laureate is a poetry writer who is honored, officially or unofficially,
as the most distinguished or representative poet of a country or
region. The South Carolina General Assembly made the title of state
poet laureate official in 1934, proclaiming that "the Governor
may name and appoint some outstanding and distinguished man of letters
as poet laureate for the State of South Carolina."
Rutledge
|
That
same year Governor Ibra Blackwood appointed Archibald Rutledge as
the first official poet laureate of South Carolina. Born near McClellanville
in 1883, Rutledge held the title until his death in 1973. During
his almost forty-year tenure, he attained almost legendary stature
among his fellow South Carolinians.
Altogether,
South Carolina has had six poets laureate since 1934: Archibald
Rutledge (1934-1973), Helen von Kolnitz Hyer (1974-1983), Ennis
Rees (1984-1985), Grace Beacham Freeman (1985-1986), Bennie Lee
Sinclair (1986-2000), and Marjory Wentworth (2003- ).
Poets
laureate do not have a strictly delineated job description, beyond
the expectation that they will present poetry at a few state occasions.
Nor is the position meant to be a lucrative one. It carried a small
annual stipend until 2003, when Governor Mark Sanford vetoed funding
for the position. Despite the absence of actual duties, however,
the poet laureate has the unique responsibility of bringing poetry
out of the classroom and into the places where South Carolinians
are living their lives.
