Get cilantro out of your system -- and change your world
By ANDRA WATKINS
Certified management consultant
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com
APRIL
26, 2010 -- I am a girl who once uttered "I hate that!"
more times than I can count. Nothing was out of bounds as far as
hatred was concerned. I said the "H" word effortlessly
and with relish.
My
husband pointed out that my H-word habit was a bad one. Most of
the things that conjured the H word from me were not worth the H-ing
effort. Enlightened, I sought to change my ways.
Online,
I queried the social media universe. What word can I substitute
for hate? Replies rushed in. "Don't be such a hater!"
(not helpful). "Love -- it's the new hate!" (likewise
not helpful). And so forth. And so on.
Until
-- voila -- one friend hit upon a word that expresses everything
I truly loathe -- cilantro. I'm one of those folks who cannot eat
cilantro lest I embarrass myself by purging publicly. It tastes
like soap, even in microcosmic bits. I made "cilantro"
my pinch-hitter for "hate" and started my "icilantrocilantro"
blog to chronicle the ridding of cilantro-filled speech and
thoughts from my life.
The
truth? After several months of blogging every day about the things
I cilantro, I'm a more positive, happier person. I cilantro things
on two fronts -- things I cannot control and things I can change
if I try.
We
all cilantro things we can't control, like growing older. I'm in
my 40s, and I don't cilantro aging. Sometimes, though, it makes
me feel anxiously tired. I don't feel like I have enough time left
to accomplish what I'd like, and I cilantro the walking-talking-midlife-crisis
that I frequently am.
Right
before my last birthday, I had the good fortune to take a trip.
I wandered into a packed fish market in a big city, and who do I
see but Andrew McCarthy ordering sushi. Any woman around my age
dreamed of marrying Andrew McCarthy of "Pretty in Pink"
fame when she was 15. Trust me.
So,
I saw Andrew, and I started giggling uncontrollably. I broke out
in a sweat and wondered whether my hair was standing on end. In
short, I acted completely like a teenager. I ran out of the fish
shop and stared at him openly as he paid for his food. Ridiculously,
I pondered whether or not he noticed me and what he thought when
I smiled at him.
We
all cilantro the uncertainty of aging, but Andrew McCarthy gave
me an amazing birthday gift. He made me feel like a teenager again,
if only for a few minutes.
On
the flip side, we cilantro issues that we can change if we try.
One of my most cilantroesque habits has been envying others -- their
successes; their things; and their blessings. Then, I read the book
"The Geography of Bliss: One Grump's Search for the Happiest
Places in the World." The writer determined that the happiest
places on earth were full of people who were happy with themselves.
They did not envy others. I've wrecked meaningful friendships and
seen people abandon me because of envy, a mode of cilantro that
anyone can stop with a little effort and some time.
Reactions
to my blogging about substituting "cilantro" for "hate"
have been entertaining. One woman in New Jersey forced her daughters
to say "cilantro" instead of the H-word. Via Twitter,
Facebook and blog commentary, people have started sharing things
they cilantro, and I read their contributions with glee. If nothing
else, I hope I've created an outlet where people can leave their
icky cilantro and walk away to a better day.

CURRENTS
Governor,
the time has come
By
ANDY BRACK, publisher
APRIL
26, 2010 -- Dear Governor Sanford,
Through
the years, we haven't seen eye to eye on much of anything political.
Our visions of what government should do are just different.
Brack |
In
general, you prefer to limit state government's power or control
it by shifting oversight to the executive branch. In your tool belt
are strategies designed to say no - tax cuts to starve programs
and dizzying spin strategies to get around public institutions,
such as school vouchers that would harm public schools.
On
the other hand, I don't find government to be an enemy, but a vehicle
to deliver pragmatic programs to enhance the common good. Sure,
there are occasional inefficiencies, but after years of cuts to
state budgets, there isn't a lot of fat hanging around fueling idle
state workers.
About
the only thing we've agreed on in the political arena is that you
shouldn't have to resign because of a marital infidelity. We both
agreed that it was a personal mistake that essentially didn't impact
on the job of being governor. We both caught a lot of flak for that
position. But you're still governor. I still write.
So
while we look at the world differently, please bear with me as I
make a case for why you should sign a bill to raise the cigarette
tax by a half dollar per pack.
First,
it's the right thing to do for adults. Right now, about 720,000
South Carolina adults -- 22.3 percent -- smoke cigarettes, according
to HealthySC.gov. The annual cost of health care related to smoking
is about $1 billion. Because of the way the health care system functions,
all South Carolinians pay for millions of dollars of treatment for
South Carolinians who smoke.
| "On
the balance sheet of your seven years in office, there are tax
cuts worth $2.3 billion and tax hikes that, at best, are inconsequential.
Approving a $120 million user fee that impacts a small audience
isn't going to dirty your record of overseeing what may be the
largest decrease of revenue to the state in its history." |
Raising
the cigarette tax by 50 cents will generate about $120 million in
revenue that will help bring in another $360 million in federal
matching monies to help defray health care increases and keep Medicaid
programs going in the state. In essence, this "user fee"
on smokers would generate monies to help pay down some of the high
costs they generate in the health care system. More
than three in four South Carolinians -- you, me and other non-smokers
-- won't be impacted at all immediately by a higher cigarette tax.
In the long run, we may not face bigger health cost increases to
cover care of smokers.
Second,
it's the right thing to do for children. If cigarettes cost more,
youths might not be able to afford cigarettes and may not start
smoking, which will reduce long-term costs to health care - and
keep our kids healthier over time. To put it more politically, adding
a fee per pack will act as a disincentive for users, which should
make the population healthier over time.
Third,
increasing the cigarette tax is fair. In your years as governor,
there have been an estimated $2.3 billion in tax cuts in South Carolina,
according to estimates made with figures from the state Board of
Economic Advisers. There have been income tax cuts to get rid of
a tax bracket and marriage penalty.
There
have been millions cut through sales tax holidays, sales tax exemptions
and elimination of taxes on groceries. And more than a billion dollars
has been cut from school operating expenses in a controversial,
lopsided property tax swap.
Anytime
there are proposals to raise taxes, the return rhetoric always insists
that they be revenue neutral - that there are cuts to balance any
increases. I don't recall the opposite rhetoric in the pleas for
tax cuts - that there be offsetting revenue to ensure they are revenue
neutral.
On
the balance sheet of your seven years in office, there are tax cuts
worth $2.3 billion and tax hikes that, at best, are inconsequential.
Approving a $120 million user fee that impacts a small audience
isn't going to dirty your record of overseeing what may be the largest
decrease of revenue to the state in its history.
So
when the legislature sends its bill to raise the cigarette tax,
please consider signing it so that we can protect children, provide
funding to mitigate smokers' health costs and promote the common
good.
A
final note to legislators: If he vetoes the bill, please override
it for all of the reasons above.

'Catch Me
if You Can' personality to speak at conference
How
many teenagers do you know who could successfully pose as an airline
pilot, an attorney, a college professor and a pediatrician? More
than 40 years ago, Frank Abagnale did just that, and in the process
cashed $2.5 million in fraudulent checks in every state and 26 foreign
countries. Abagnale, whose story was the theme of the popular movie
"Catch Me If You Can," will share his story at the Homeland
Security Innovation Conference, planned for May 5 to May 7 at the
Charleston Area Convention Center.
Abagnale |
After
several years of eluding authorities, Abagnale was captured at age
21 by the French police and served prison sentences in France, Sweden
and the United States. After five years, he was released on the
condition that he would help the federal government - and today
Abagnale is one of the world's most respected authorities on forgery,
embezzlement and secure documents. More than 14,000 financial institutions,
corporations and law enforcement agencies use his fraud prevention
programs.
The
Homeland Security Innovation Conference, sponsored by ThinkTEC (a
division of the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce), will focus
on cybersecurity, port and border security, immigration, and disaster
preparedness and recovery. The Charleston region will be highlighted
as a hub of technology research, development, practical testing
and pilot initiatives for a wide range of applications.
The
cost of the conference is $250 per person. For a complete agenda,

SC
ENCYCLOPEDIA
State
parks
As
of 2004, South
Carolina's system of state parks consisted of forty-six properties
totaling more than eighty thousand acres of land. Its genesis came
in the 1930s with the development of sixteen state parks under the
auspices of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), a Depression-era
federal conservation and employment program. These early parks,
which included recreation facilities such as lodges, cabins, campgrounds,
swimming lakes, and trails, also provided access to some of the
state's most scenic natural areas.
 |
With
the dissolution of the CCC in 1942, state parks came under the management
of the State Commission of Forestry, which operated the parks for
the next twenty-five years. In the 1950s park attendance dramatically
expanded as road improvements, the abundance of automobiles, and
relative affluence brought about increased mobility and leisure
time. During this period coastal parks at Hunting Island, Edisto
Beach, and Myrtle Beach became popular recreation destinations for
local residents and out-of-state tourists alike. Until the 1960s
South Carolina's state parks were segregated, and though the state
provided separate recreational facilities for whites and blacks,
they were never equal as claimed. In 1961 a class-action suit was
filed to integrate the parks, and in 1963 an order was issued for
the state parks to comply with the Civil Rights Act of 1954. Rather
than integrate the system, the state attorney general responded
by closing the parks to all South Carolinians, regardless of race.
However, in response to public demand, all of the parks were reopened
on a desegregated basis by 1966.
In
1967 management of the state park system moved from the Forestry
Commission to the newly created Department of Parks, Recreation,
and Tourism (PRT). … Though PRT continued to operate parks
that had natural and historical significance, a new emphasis was
placed on serving local recreational needs. During this period the
state added sixteen parks to the system, including several state
resort parks. This ambitious acquisition program was made possible
largely through massive infusions of federal funding for recreation
granted in the 1970s.
At
the start of the twenty-first century, PRT managed the state parks
in accordance with two primary guiding principles: stewardship of
the natural and cultural resources of the state; and service to
the citizens and visitors of South Carolina. … The state park
system also embraces a large number of significant natural and cultural
resources, including two National Historic Landmarks, eighteen properties
listed in the National Register of Historic Places, ten Heritage
Trust Sites, and thousands of acres that protect important archaeological
sites, rare habitats, and endangered species.

THE
LIST
Grander grand
openings
We enjoyed
a recent commentary in one of our sister publications, Gwinnett
Forum, about how to have a grand opening for a new business
-- and let's hope that, as some economic indicators seem to show,
the economy is heading in a direction that bodes well for all businesses,
new and old alike.
E. Brack
|
Here's Gwinnett
Forum Publisher and Editor Elliott Brack's list of what to have
and do at a grand opening.
- Have a
book for those attending to sign to record the event for posterity.
- Use a bright
ribbon. After all, most photographs are in color now, and the
ribbon show up better than plain white.
- Have some
cold Cokes or water for your guests.
- If someone's
making a talk, provide chairs.
- If it's
a really big event, and it's outside, you want tents, and possibly
emergency medical people around, just in case. Elevate speakers
with staging. Use a portable podium and sound system. Test the
sound before the people arrive.
- If the
grand opening is in an open, remote area, provide Porta Potties.
- Watch your
setting. Make sure there are no unwanted telephone poles appearing
in every photograph.
- Provide
handouts for the media and other attendees, with appropriate contact
information.
- If you're
really going to "break ground," you have two choices.
Either roto-till the soil into softer dirt for the shovels, or
get sand to snap the shovels into. You don't want your dignitaries
straining over compacted soil.
- Prior to
your event, on a similar day at the same time as your event, visit
the site to check for noise, lighting, traffic, or nearby construction,
that would distract from your event.
- Finally,
pray for good weather.
