This paddler battled a fierce wind recently when trying to slice through this old rice canal at the Caw Caw Interpretive Center near Ravenel. At this time of year, the park is filled with a diverse display of birds, many of them migrating back north. In addition to great egrets, turkey vultures and cormorants, you can spy robins, warblers, swallows, finches and more. Check it out.

TODAY'S FOCUS
RiverDogs start season April 8, but 'Be Your Own Fan' now

By DAVE ECHOLS
Executive vice president/General manager
Charleston RiverDogs
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com

MARCH 8, 2010 -- The Charleston RiverDogs, truly the Lowcountry's leader in sports entertainment, officially begin their season one month from today, on April 8. But fans don't have to wait, because you can "Be Your Own Fan" of the club right now.


Echols

The organization, which enters its sixth season as an affiliate of the 27-time World Champion New York Yankees, has been implementing its new marketing program where the focus continues to be "Fun Is Good" but also encourages fan participation and individualism. What does that mean? It simply means that there's a lot more to the RiverDogs than just a baseball game going on in front of you.

We know that our fans have a wide range of interests and reasons to come to Riley Park, and baseball is just one of them. Our fans enjoy the wild and wacky promotions and various theme nights, the tasty food and beverage selections that we offer, and the social aspect of one of our games. Sure, we have fireworks every Friday night, giveaways every Saturday and family-oriented promotions on Sundays, but there's other parts of RiverDogs baseball that our fans enjoy. Through our Be Your Own Fan (BYOF) concept, we are communicating directly with fans and, in turn, they communicate directly with us.

On Mondays, the team partners with a nonprofit organization to help bring awareness to its cause, and Tuesdays are "Two for Tuesdays," as fans can get two tickets for the price of one. Wednesdays offer an "all-u-can-eat" special and Thursdays -- aptly called "Thirsty Thursdays" and among the most popular nights of the week -- feature $1 beer, in addition to specials on all food and beverage.

And don't forget that there's a baseball game that features tomorrow's Major League stars being played right in front of you.

There's also trendy merchandise available in the Souvenir Store, which is located a foul ball away from the field. Additionally, there are seven dates in which fans can enjoy a collegiate game prior to the pro game as The Citadel Bulldogs play before the RiverDogs take the field.

The RiverDogs, who have made a name in customer service, take that to the next level with BYOF. We tweet regularly, update our Facebook page continuously and are in with the latest communicative means so we can keep up with our fans. But more importantly, our fans are now positioned to communicate with us.

We have yet to release our always-anticipated promotional schedule, but you can count on the RiverDogs having something special for each of our 70 home games, which run from roughly the first week in April until the first week of September. Some of the highlights will include Opening Night, the July Fourth Celebration, a couple of 11 a.m. starts, and the auction (which raises money for MUSC's Storm Eye Institute to fight blindness).

The RiverDogs also will offer a bevy of special events that range from a 1K Fun Run to a more serious 5K run, a golf tournament (that isn't like your normal golf outing), the annual Ballpark Festival of Beers, summer youth baseball camps, and a preseason Hot Stove Banquet. The RiverDogs also coordinate the Charleston Baseball Hall of Fame.

In addition, the club prides itself on its numerous community involvement activities, such as the front office staff's recent visit to the Windwood Farm Home for Children in Awendaw, where we painted one of the organization's houses.

And then there's Charlie T. RiverDog, the cuddly mascot who makes almost as many appearances in the Charleston area as Mayor Joe Riley.

Charleston RiverDogs Baseball has always been about fun - and it will continue to be that -- but we now concentrate more on you, the fan. Come see us, and you won't be disappointed. For more information, please refer to http://www.riverdogs.com.

Dave Echols is executive vice president/general manager of the Charleston RiverDogs. The RiverDogs are an underwriting partner of CharlestonCurrents.com.

(Lack of) service makes a dining difference
By ANDY BRACK, publisher

MARCH 8, 2010 - With all of the bigwig foodies in town over the weekend, we figured we'd listen to a recommendation and give a local seafood restaurant another try.


Brack

We knew there was no way we'd stay on the peninsula with all of the Wine + Food people packing downtown restaurants. So we decided to head to Mount Pleasant. Friends at the Oxford American's bourbon, benne and beef jerky party on Saturday unhesitatingly directed us to "The Wreck of the Richard and Charlene," generally known as just "The Wreck."

We'd been a couple of times through the years, but had been put off by slow service and expensive portions. Yes, the food was good, but there was something about the place that always rankled.

On Saturday night with open minds, we finally found the restaurant (it's not easy to find in the dark) along Shem Creek. Once inside, we were surprised to get a table relatively quickly because we've waited in the past.

But once we got the table, that was it. We were ignored. That gave us time to peruse the menu, which seemed overpriced -- a half-pound boiled shrimp plate for $19.18 and a fried seafood platter ("no substitutions") for $21.24. And then we spotted a buried notice of something we've never figured out -- the restaurant doesn't take credit cards. We were going to ask the wait staff what happened to cash-less tourists who came inside, ordered and didn't see the notice.

We didn't, however, get the chance. After about 15 minutes of waiting without any help paying attention, we decided the heck with the arrogance of the place. So we left.

We went down the street to an old favorite, Shem Creek Bar & Grill - the place we should have gone in the first place. We went to the back bar and sat with our old friend Albert, who has shucked oysters at the restaurant for 23 years. We ran into some folks from West Of newspaper, had good conversation and a great meal.

And interestingly, when we mentioned how we'd been blown off in The Wreck, our friends recalled similar tales of poor service and institutional self-importance. Failure to be considerate to customers can be fatal to any service-oriented business. We hope The Wreck gets its act together.

To the best of our knowledge -- confirmed by out-of-town foodies -- The Wreck has great seafood. But we won't try it again because the meal we had at Shem Creek Bar & Grill was just as good -- if not better.

And they were nice.

* * * * *

SPEAKING OF seafood platters, there's a place in Conway you've got to check out if you're in the Grand Strand. It's called the Riverwalk Grill. For about $16, the seafood platter was piled with lightly-fried large shrimp and oysters that were crunchy on the outside but sweet and juicy inside. A large piece of flounder was so expertly cooked and flaky that you didn't want to put any sauce on it. What a pleasant meal. The décor isn't anything to write home about, but this isn't a place where you're paying for white tablecloths. It's a place to eat well.

GOOD NEWS
Feasting for Farmers hopes to raises $10,000 for new program

Lowcountry Local First is encouraging local residents to invite friends over for a meal on March 20 for "Feasting for Farmers" dinners that will help raise money to grow the next generation of farmers in the area.

The idea behind Feasting for Farmers is to raise $10,000 toward the Growing New Farmers Incubator Project and heighten awareness in the community of the need to support local agriculture. LLF is asking each host to plan a dinner - casual or fancy, as the host chooses - and ask their guests to donate any amount toward the program. "There is no pressure to make the dinner fancy; it could even be a potluck," says a press release from LLF. "It is a way to share a meal and an important story."

LLF will supply hosts with fact sheets on the Growing New Farmers program, as well as suggestions of party ideas.

The Growing New Farmers Incubator Program is an opportunity to train young people as growers. "The average age of farmers in South Carolina is 59 years old, and it is imperative that we train new individuals who are passionate about the land," LLF states.

For more information about hosting a party, e-mail Amy@lowcountrylocalfirst.org or call 740-5444.

Comcast employee wins United Way 'Above & Beyond' Award


McLean

When Kara McLean volunteered to lead the Trident United Way fundraising campaign at Comcast three years ago, the employees were contributing $130, total. Three years later, 174 Comcast employees are pledging more than $28,000, with the corporate match bringing the total to more than $40,000. That's a 30,769 percent increase.

Noting her "hard work, aptitude and dedication to the cause," Trident United Way recently named McLean this year's Ben Stage Above & Beyond Award recipient.

With support from Comcast general manager Bill Watson, McLean created a team and invited everyone at the company to get involved. She recruited a volunteer for each of Trident United Way's volunteer committees and organized 110 employees on their own Day of Caring at the Lowcountry Food Bank. She made sure every employee was given the opportunity to participate in the fundraising campaign and made it an enjoyable, team-building event.

"I feel so honored to have received the Ben Stage Above and Beyond Award because of the man it was named for," said McLean, who has worked as a direct sales specialist at Comcast for the last six years. "My co-workers at Comcast inspire me every day through their generosity and willingness to help others."

The award is named for Ben Stage, who led Trident United Way's fundraising staff in the 1990s. His positive attitude and warm heart in the face of the debilitating disease ALS were an inspiration to everyone who knows him. Stage passed away in 2008.

Blackbaud plans webinars with post-disaster tips for nonprofits

Blackbaud is offering a free web seminar series beginning March 11 to help nonprofits build strategies for mobilizing, soliciting and stewarding supporters during and after disasters. The company's nonprofit experts and partners developed the seminars based on their ongoing work with agencies involved in relief efforts following January's devastating earthquake in Haiti.

"The 'Lessons Learned from Haiti' series is designed to help nonprofit professionals learn from both their peers and industry experts on how to successfully perform relief fundraising using emerging tools and technology that allow them to quickly reach their constituents," said Steve MacLaughlin, a seminar presenter and Blackbaud's director of Internet solutions. "The series will also focus on providing nonprofits strategies for stewarding and retaining disaster donors."

Topics include "Online Rapid Response Strategies" (2 p.m. March 11); "The Mobile Giving Revolution" (2 p.m. March 24); "Mobilizing Your Supporters Using Social Media" (2 p.m. April 6); "Stewarding Donors Following a Crisis" (2 p.m. April 21) and "Turning One-time Donors into Major Gift Prospects" (2 p.m. May 5).

SC ENCYCLOPEDIA
Particular Baptists

Thought to be the first group of English Baptists to practice baptism by immersion around 1640, Particular Baptists held to the 1689 London Confession of Faith and earlier related documents. Calvinist in theology, they influenced significantly the Regular Baptist movement in South Carolina beginning in the late seventeenth century. In contrast to English General Baptists, however, Particular Baptists believed in a predestined atonement for a "particular" or limited number of elect and "perseverance of the saints," that is, the belief that once one is saved, one is always saved.

Like most Baptists, Particulars practiced believer's baptism, while insisting, unlike in the General tradition, that only the elect would experience conversion. Both groups affirmed religious liberty, but unlike the General Baptists, Particulars insisted that each congregation was complete and independent. In colonial South Carolina, the influence of both English Baptist traditions was felt, and at times it was divisive. The congregation at Stono, founded about 1728 as a branch of the Particular Baptist Church at Charleston, underwent a schism around 1735. Fights ensued over property, but in the end the Particular tradition dominated there and elsewhere, at least in most historical interpretations.

As with other Calvinists in the New World, under the influence of eighteenth-century Great Awakening revivals, the Calvinism of Particular Baptists was modified enough for them to say that in God's predetermination of redemption, the salvation of all was sought. By the time of the Revolutionary War, most Baptists had grown away from their English background and had assumed their own identities.

THE LIST
Ballet dancer's Top 5

In her seven seasons with the Charleston Ballet Theatre, Stephanie Bussell, right, has danced a number of memorable roles. Bussell, who has studied with the Kirov and Bolshoi Academies as well as the Boston Ballet and Indianapolis Opera, has been the female lead in CBT's "Twisted Tango," "The Great Gatsby," "Who Cares?," "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Rite of Spring." She also will star in the CBT's upcoming world premiere of "Zorro," which opens March 19 at Memminger Auditorium (check the calendar for details). Here are Bussell's five favorite roles she's danced with the CBT.

1. "All My Love is Gone" from Daniel Pelzig's "Nine Lives." I love this because the music is Lyle Lovett and dancing to it gave me a new respect for him as an artist. Also, the partnering is made for a tall woman and a short man, so I get to dance with someone I normally wouldn't.

2. The Bad Apple from "Snow White." This was a lot of fun because I don't generally get to play the "evil" characters, and since the ballet was made for children it was more comically evil than sinister. I didn't enjoy making children cry, but I guess that means I did my job well!

3. Myrtle Wilson in "The Great Gatsby." For a supporting role, this is one of the most difficult characters I've had to interpret. When you read the book, there isn't a whole lot of attention given to Myrtle as an individual, so dissecting everything from her affair to her death by car crash with movement was really emotionally intense and a wonderful challenge.

4. Mercedes (The Street Dancer) in "Don Quixote." This was a technically challenging role, but very fiery with lots of big jumps and energy. I had to weave in and out of golden cups placed on the floor while turning and jumping, without knocking them over.

5. Lady of the Lake from "Camelot." I loved flying and being raised up from the bottom of the Sottile basement through a trap door onto stage.
