TODAY'S
FOCUS
College pals turning temp
jobs into lifeline for homeless
By PETE DeMARCO
Vice president, In Every Story
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com
MAY
13, 2010 -- It started with a still, small voice -- the kind we
so often ignore -- telling recent Furman graduate and Mount Pleasant
native Derek Snook to draw closer to the homeless. Derek had returned
to Charleston after four months of volunteering at Christ Gift Academy
in Mbita, Kenya. He felt a call to serve his home community, and,
in June 2009, he voluntarily became a resident of the Star Gospel
Mission, a transitional housing facility for formerly homeless men,
located on Meeting Street.
DeMarco |
Upon
moving into the mission, Derek discovered that many of the homeless
and near-homeless members of this community work as day laborers.
The men he was living with would arrive at a day labor agency by
6 a.m. Some days they would receive work. Some days they would wait
for hours in vain. The low wages, agency fees, and severe job instability
which characterize day labor made it nearly impossible to escape
poverty no matter how hard they worked. They were trapped.
Derek
decided to work day labor himself. He noticed that the agencies'
lax vetting procedures and the workers' low morale meant that local
businesses' demands for high-quality temporary employees were not
being satisfied. He saw an opportunity. In Every Story was incorporated
Sept. 25, 2009.
It
was at this point that Derek dared me, his roommate at Furman, to
join him at the mission, not expecting that I would take him up
on the offer. Now we're in it together.
Snook during a recent presentation. |
IES
is a temporary labor agency that demonstrates the love of Christ
as it partners with the homeless and near-homeless on their paths
to self-sufficiency. Once it is operational, IES (under the d.b.a.
IES Professional Labor) will provide its clients with consistent
temporary employment. It will offer employers that use day labor
a superior quality product at a competitive price.
Here
is how it will work: Potential clients will be referred through
the Star Gospel Mission, Crisis Ministries, and other community
partners. IES will only accept workers motivated to attain self-sufficiency.
IES will offer clients consistent work and help connect them to
wrap-around services. The biggest difference, however, between IES
and other temp agencies will be the Hope Fund.
Before
ever setting foot on a job site, clients and IES officers will identify
a goal that will increase the client's self-sufficiency. It may
be the first month's rent on an apartment, a used car, or additional
education. Once the goal is set and the initial drug screening is
passed, the client will be sent out to work. For every hour that
a client works, a sum of $1.50 (IES will increase this figure as
it grows) will be deposited into the Hope Fund. If the client works
the agreed-upon number of hours, and if he or she has showed up
and stayed clean, IES will write a check directly to the apartment
complex, used car lot, or educational institution corresponding
with the client's goal.
Because
only high performers will be eligible for the Hope Fund, all clients
will have an incentive to become high performers. The contractors,
municipal and county authorities, and other businesses that use
our day laborers will notice the difference that investing in these
workers can make.
Once
it expands to forty clients in its second year, IES will be a self-sustaining
social enterprise. The model lends itself to replication in cities
throughout South Carolina and beyond.
In
Every Story is currently raising the start-up funds necessary to
open its doors and put five homeless and near-homeless individuals
to work. To donate or obtain more information, contact Derek Snook
at 327-8456, e-mail us at ineverystory@gmail.com,
or write to 474 Meeting St., Charleston, SC 29403.
CURRENTS
New
local and state specialty foods on the front burner
By
ANN THRASH, editor
MAY
13, 2010 -- In the past few weeks we've gotten word of several new
Lowcountry or Palmetto State food products that you might want to
check out.
Thrash |
We
haven't sampled them all -- yet -- but we've been impressed with
what we've tried so far. Be on the lookout for these local brands
in stores and restaurants near you.
Scales
Sugar-Free Cocktail Mixes: A Mount Pleasant couple, Scott and
Stephanie Meadows, have developed a line of really delicious cocktail
mixes that are low in calories and have no carbs and no sugar. Scales
Cocktail Mixer varieties include a margarita mix, sweet-'n'-sour
mix, strawberry daiquiri mix and, soon, a Bloody Mary mix. According
to the company's Facebook
fan page, the Bloody Mary mix will be out in about two weeks
and will be co-branded with Texas Pete hot sauce.
The
name "Scales" refers both to the scaly sea creatures on
the bottles' labels and the fact that you can "Scale Back the
Calories, Not the Taste," as the company's
Web site says. After sampling the margarita mix recently, we
can vouch for that claim: This is good stuff, and it's great to
be able enjoy some of those popular cocktails without the sickly-sweet
aftertaste, calories and carbs that come with the sugary versions
of the drinks.
The
Scales mixes can be found in Lowcountry Piggly Wiggly stores and
a growing number of restaurants and other locations. You'll find
a full list of retailers at the company Web site.
Firefly
Sweet Tea Lemonade and Southern Lemonade: The Firefly empire
just keeps on growing. The newest products to hit store shelves-
- just in time for another hot, humid, Lowcountry summer -- are
Firefly Sweet Tea Lemonade and Southern Lemonade. The Sweet Tea
Lemonade is a blend of original Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka and lemonade,
and the Southern Lemonade blends Firefly's straight vodka with lemonade.
The cocktails come in 1.75-liter and single-serving four-packs and
are ready to pour over ice and enjoy.
Wadmalaw-based
Firefly is now the largest distillery in the state. In addition
to the two lemonades, it also produces Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka,
four Sweet Tea Vodka flavors (lemon, raspberry, mint and peach),
Handcrafted Vodka, Sweet Tea Bourbon and Sea Island Rums.
Palmetto
Sweet Onions: We've heard about these but haven't gotten our
hands on any just yet- - and we can't wait to try them. The S.C.
Department of Agriculture and a group of growers introduced these
South Carolina sweet onions a few weeks ago up in Lexington County.
The hope is that they'll rival Georgia's Vidalia onions in taste
- and in sales and marketing, too.
The
onions will have a "Certified SC Grown" label and will
be available initially at Piggly Wiggly and IGA stores. (Here's
a shout out to the Pig for being a longtime supporter of state-produced
products.)
When
the onions were introduced to the press at the end of April, the
harvest was set to begin in a few weeks, so keep your eyes peeled
for them - and, hopefully, your eyes will be as free of tears with
Palmetto Sweets as they are with Vidalias.

Spark
Charleston introduces first no-cost incubator space
By
PETER LUCASH, contributing editor
Lucash |
MAY
13, 2010 -- Spark
Charleston, a small group of diverse local professionals dedicated
to the development of high-potential startups in the Charleston
region, unveiled its first incubator space at an open house on May
3. This first Spark Charleston facility is located at 480 East Bay
St., Suite E, and will provide desk space, basic office amenities
and strategic support at no cost for 12 to 16 ambitious people representing
high-potential companies from all industries.
The
group emphasizes that the Spark Charleston facility is an altruistic
venture and, while there may eventually be a way to monetize the
effort, there are no immediate plans to generate a profit. Selected
businesses will be given six-month tenancies, must define a measurable
goal to accomplish during their stay and must provide a midway progress
report. Interested? The Spark application is available at http://bit.ly/91IK1p.

New
site hopes to create online village for local moms
There's
a new arrival in the Lowcountry: NewbyMom.com,
which bills itself as "Charleston's only local mom-driven Web
site." A kickoff party to celebrate the new site will be held
at noon May 21 at Founders Hall at Charles Towne Landing, and it's
open to the public.
Run
by seven "professional moms," the online subscription-based
Web site will offer a network of online resources for mothers, including
chat rooms for mom-to-mom Q&As; reviews of childcare centers,
pediatricians and educational facilities; a Consigning Corner to
recycle children's clothing; a bulletin board for child care needs;
beauty tips for moms on the go; interactive health and wellness
videos; and a community calendar with family-friendly events
Contributors
will include local moms Cathy O'Hara and Angela May, both former
Charleston television anchors. The site's creator and editor-in-chief
is Katie Newingham, who has more than 10 years of new-media management
experience.
"When
I was pregnant with my daughter, I had so many questions about local
resources. I scoured the Internet to find a place where I could
connect with other local moms and get advice on doctors, child care
and other new-mom-related questions. When I couldn't find what I
was looking for, I decided then and there to devote my skills and
abilities to creating an online network to help other new local
moms," says Newingham. "It takes a village to raise a
child, and I want to help moms find their village."
McCrady's chef to
open new restaurant, Sazerac, this fall
Farm-fresh
ingredients and classic cocktails will be the mainstays when national
award-winning chef Sean Brock of McCrady's opens a new restaurant
this fall in downtown Charleston. The restaurant, to be named Sazerac,
is expected to open in late fall at 76 Queen St. It will only feature
food that's indigenous to the South. "If it ain't Southern,
it ain't walkin' in the door," says Brock, who earlier this
month won a prestigious James Beard Award as Best Chef in the Southeast.
Brock |
The
menu will include plenty of items grown, raised and prepared by
local farmers, fisherman and food artisans, including items from
the restaurant's own Thornhill Farm, a 100-acre site in McClellanville.
Brock says he drew on memories of the food he grew up with, as well
as recipes from 19th-century cookbooks, in developing the menu.
His modern interpretations of Southern classics will feature dishes
such as Wood-Fired Young Chicken with Black Pepper Dumplings and
"Reverend Taylor" Butter Beans; Smoky Mississippi Catfish
with Choppee Indian Okra and Preserved Garden Tomatoes; and Sarsparilla-Glazed
Crossabaw Pork Ribs with Pickled Peaches - all served with a cast-iron
skillet of cornbread and homemade preserves.
Brock,
who grew up in rural Virginia, has been executive chef at McCrady's
since 2005. He worked previously at Peninsula Grill and several
other acclaimed Southern restaurants. He has recently worked on
a seed-saving project to help reintroduce pre-Civil War crops to
modern diners.
Sazerac,
which gets its name from a classic cocktail of New Orleans, will
offer dinner seven days a week and lunch six days a week, with brunch
on Sunday. For ongoing updates on the progress of the restaurant,

County's 'Living Green'
TV show to look at water conservation
Do
you know the source of your tap water? Do you know the real differences
between tap and bottled water? This month, "Living Green,"
the 30-minute green lifestyles TV show produced by Charleston County
government, looks at those questions and more in an episode titled
"Water Conservation and Charleston Water System." The
show will air Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. on WTAT Fox 24
(Comcast channel 6) and 11 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on My TV Charleston
(WMMP, Comcast channel 13).
The
show is funded through a $236,498 U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Community Action for a Renewed Environment (CARE) grant
given for Charleston County's continuing participation in its Project
Impact Partnership Program, which aims to reduce local air and water
pollution through public education programs.
"The
TV show is part of an extensive educational campaign that we have
taken on in order to provide information and assistance to our citizens
on ways to reduce pollution and improve our air and water quality
in order to protect the environment for future generations,"
says Carl Simmons, Charleston County's Building Inspections Director
who oversees the County's Project Impact program.

ENCYCLOPEDIA
John P. Grace
(1874-1940)
(Second of two parts)
Opposed
to United States involvement in World War I, John Patrick Grace
edited the Charleston American from 1916 to 1917. Pro-German and
anti-British, the newspaper attacked President Woodrow Wilson and
Governor Manning on the war issue and eventually lost its bulk mail
rate. To save the paper, Grace resigned as editor.
The
old bridge named for the late John P. Grace |
In
1919 Grace was again elected mayor of Charleston with one campaign
theme-control of the docks. During this administration (1919-1923),
Grace bought the decaying wharves from the Terminal Company and
waged a tenacious battle to create the Ports Utility Commission-the
forerunner of the State Ports Authority-to manage the docks. Also,
Grace provided free education at Charleston High School and the
College of Charleston and promoted downtown development through
the construction of the Fort Sumter and Francis Marion hotels.
In
1923 Thomas P. Stoney defeated Grace in another bitterly contested
election. Out of office, Grace still continued his interest in Charleston's
development. He made perhaps his greatest contribution to the city
with the opening of the Cooper River Bridge in 1929. Grace was president
of Cooper River Bridge, Inc., which built the bridge connecting
Charleston with Mount Pleasant, Sullivan's Island, and the Isle
of Palms. Grace's dream was to make the Isle of Palms a tourist
destination that rivaled Miami, Florida. The bridge was a financial
failure, however, and Charleston County bought it in 1941 and soon
sold it to the state.
Grace
died in Charleston on June 25, 1940, and was buried in St. Lawrence
Cemetery. In 1943 the Cooper River Bridge was renamed the Grace
Memorial Bridge in his honor.

THE
LIST
Hip-hop hit
list
Dancing has
always been a great way to keep fit and flexible, and in recent
months hip-hop classes have been getting lots of attention around
town as a fun way to work out.
Angel Roberts,
who teaches "peacelovehiphop classes" on Daniel Island
for grownups and kids, says the buzz about the classes spread so
quickly that she was asked to establish James Island, West Ashley
and Hanahan classes as well. No wonder: In addition to the dancing,
her classes include T-shirts, CDs with songs from the routines,
eucalyptus towels at the end of class, and e-mailed tips on nutrition
and living a positive life. Here are Angel's "top five songs
that you're likely to learn a booty-shakin' routine to at a peacelovehiphop
class."
1) "Carry
Out," by Justin Timberlake and Timbaland
2)
"My Chick Bad," by Ludacris
3)
"Rude Boy," by Rihanna
4)
"Boom, Boom, Pow" by the Black Eyed Peas
5) "Single
Ladies," by Beyonce
