TODAY'S FOCUS
Gibbes' new Society 1858 designed for young art patrons

By ANN BELDEN
Co-founder, Society 1858
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com

JUNE 24, 2010 -- In the minds of Carolina Art Association board members Elizabeth Bradham and Alice Wyatt, Society 1858 was just a dream for the Gibbes Museum to cultivate the next generation of art patrons. It was only after reaching out in 2009 to Helen Pratt-Thomas and me, along with twelve dynamic young professionals, that we made up a steering committee and their idea became a reality.


Belden

Society 1858 came on the Charleston scene on Friday, May 21 with a launch celebration hosted in the stunning Gibbes courtyard garden. More than 200 guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, listened to jazz music and rubbed elbows with Charleston society (not to mention, a few local celebrities) while a small group of special guests joined Esther and Jim Ferguson for an exclusive tour of their collection on loan to the museum in the exhibition "Modern Masters from the Ferguson Collection." Esther and Jim shared personal stories about their experiences meeting some of the artists and building their impressive art collection.

While networking and social interaction is the cornerstone for Society 1858, the group has plans to provide members much more, including special behind-the-scenes tours of upcoming exhibits and collections, art education and opportunities to partner with local galleries for special events.

ABOUT SOCIETY 1858

Society 1858, a newly formed Gibbes Museum of Art auxiliary group, is a group of young professionals who support the Gibbes with social and educational programs tailored for up-and-coming art patrons. The group takes its name from the year that the Carolina Art Association was established. Although the Gibbes opened its doors in 1905, the museum's art collection began in 1858. Society 1858 aims to continue the strong legacy of art appreciation in Charleston. Members of Society 1858 have access to private exhibition previews and receptions, invitations to social events throughout the year, and free or reduced-price admission to Society 1858 programs. Membership is open to any member of the Gibbes Museum of Art.

"Everyone involved on the steering committee brings so many dynamic ideas and expectations to the table. While there are many groups in the Charleston area that target this age group, we are striving for Society 1858 to provide affordable and diverse visual art opportunities," says Pratt-Thomas, one of the group's co-chairs.

Society 1858 will host its next event on Friday, July 16 from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the Gibbes Museum. Partnering with 39 Rue de Jean, the group will host a Bastille Café, complete with can-can dancers, absinthe, a French-art-inspired scavenger hunt, and a guest appearance by Marie Antoinette, to name a few surprises in store for the evening.

The $25 tickets are available through the Gibbes at http://www.gibbesmuseum.org/events or by calling 722-2706, ext. 22. Anyone who becomes a member of the Gibbes Museum of Art can become a member of Society 1858. Additional information about our new auxiliary group can be found at www.gibbesmuseum.org/support.

I hope to see you an at upcoming Society 1858 function!

If you're itching to get rid of mosquitoes, now's your chance
By ANN THRASH, editor

JUNE 24, 2010 -- Have mosquitoes put the bite on you lately? In my neighborhood in Mount Pleasant, they haven't been bad so far this year (knock on wood!), but friends downtown and west of the Ashley seem to be having worse luck. A buddy downtown who spends a lot of time outdoors mentioned a few days ago that the mosquitoes seemed to be out in "exorbitant numbers" -- and she even signed her e-mail, "Itchingly yours."


Thrash

If the skeeters were bad then, we can only hope the celebration of National Mosquito Awareness Week isn't bringing them out to party in even larger numbers. If there's any comfort to be had in this special week, which runs June 20-June 26, at least we know that it isn't our elected officials who have devoted their valuable their time declaring National Mosquito Awareness Week; the event is spearheaded by the American Mosquito Control Association.

Here in Charleston County, officials are taking a sensible, education-oriented approach to the event by trying to teach all of us what we can do to minimize the mosquitoes around our homes. In addition to a Citizen's Awareness Campaign tomorrow from 8 a.m. until noon in the Park Circle area of North Charleston, the county's Mosquito Control Division will be handing out information packets at residences requesting mosquito control services.

That's right -- you don't have to suffer and slap in silence, waiting for Mosquito Control to find you; you can contact the agency at 202-7880 to ask for service. The division annually treats more than 50,000 acres by aircraft and 500,000 acres through ground spraying, county officials say.

While we joke about "skeeters," they actually aren't a laughing matter. They carry some serious diseases, including West Nile virus, dengue fever, malaria, Eastern equine encephalitis and heartworms. Young mosquitoes (larvae) have to have water to grow up and become adult mosquitoes, so getting rid of containers that hold water around homes, yards, schools and businesses is key.

"The public must help by flushing water out of birdbaths and pet dishes with a garden hose. Keep anything that has potential to hold water, such as toys, buckets, cans and bottles, turned over and emptied," the county advises.

Mosquitoes also grow and live in the kind of standing water that's all over the Lowcountry and really can't be eliminated - such as ditches and low-lying areas in yards, fields and the woods. Mosquito Control routinely checks these spots, and if larvae are found, technicians put material into the water that kills only the larvae without harming any other organism, according to Donna Odom, the county's mosquito control superintendent. In addition, she says, small native fish that eat mosquito larvae can be put into the water.

Odom's office says the following guidelines can help keep the mosquito population at bay. Here they are for my itchy pal downtown, and for you, too.

  • Every three days, flush birdbaths, potted plant saucers and other containers that hold water.
  • Keep your yard clean and cut.
  • Remove items from your yard that hold water and are not needed outside.
  • Keep your lawn and gardening equipment indoors.
  • Fix leaky faucets.
  • Keep your gutters clean.
  • Fill in tree holes with sand or concrete.
  • Change the water in outdoor pet dishes regularly.
  • Chlorinate pools, and clean the pool and filters.
  • Add fish to ponds.

GOOD NEWS
Input sought on redesign of Colonial Lake, playground

A redesign of the popular Colonial Lake/Moultrie Playground area downtown is in the works, and the Charleston Parks Conservancy is asking the public for feedback on the plans. A community workshop will be held from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. June 29 at Mason Preparatory School, 56 Halsey Blvd., near the park property.

"We are very excited about the potential to redevelop this space into a world-class park, potentially realizing the dream of connecting it to the Ashley River," says Jim Martin, executive director of the conservancy. "Several opportunities for both public and private development have emerged at once and, with good urban planning in mind, it makes sense to explore all options. We are looking forward to seeing what the public thinks of our suggestions."

The workshop is a continuation of the redesign ideas presented to the community in October 2008 by the conservancy, a nonprofit organization dedicated to beautifying city parks and green spaces. As more opportunities for the space have become available, the conservancy is asking for additional feedback. A second workshop will be held in August to incorporate public suggestions and gather more comments.

A representative from DesignWorks, which has been assisting the Conservancy on the project, will make a presentation at 6 p.m., and comments will be accepted until 7:30 p.m. Representatives from The Beach Company also will be on hand. The Sergeant Jasper Apartments, located on Broad Street near the park and lake, are 60 years old, and company officials have acknowledged the need to eventually improve the site with more modern facilities. Long-term master planning for the Sergeant Jasper parcel could coincide with the park's redevelopment and allow for an improved configuration of the playground.

Possibilities for the park may include slightly relocating the playground to a less secluded, more safe area; enlarging the playing field for multipurpose use; adding new tennis courts; renovating the park building; and making the space more biker- and pedestrian-friendly.

Following the workshop, additional information will be posted at http://www.charlestonparksconservancy.org as well as http://www.thebeachcompany.com.

City expands SmartCard parking meter program

Local residents who use the city of Charleston's SmartCards for parking now have a new location where the cards can be bought and recharged. On Wednesday, the Charleston Visitor Center Gift Shop at 375 Meeting St. will begin offering the cards for sale and recharging cards that have already been purchased. The new site is the second that offers the card services; the first is located at the Department of Traffic and Transportation at 180 Lockwood Blvd.

The SmartCard program offers the public a more convenient and economical way to use on-street parking meters. SmartCards let patrons park at a meter and "pay" with a SmartCard, rather than having to dig up loose change for the meter. Patrons also save money because unused time at the meter is refunded back onto the card.

The city began the program in 2007 by upgrading half of the city's meters with mechanisms to include the SmartCard inserts. As of this month, all 1,840 parking meters in the city have been upgraded to accept the SmartCard in addition to accepting coins.

In a special promotion yesterday, the first 100 SmartCard customers at the Visitor Center received a SmartCard free with the minimum purchase of at least $5 worth of minutes. As a bonus, an additional 240 minutes (a $3 value) was added to the card at no cost. The regular price of a SmartCard is $5 per card. Money can be uploaded onto the card in increments of $1 using cash, Visa, MasterCard, or debit cards, and each card can hold up to $300.

Inaugural 'Stand Up West Ashley' meeting planned

Stand Up West Ashley, an effort of the city's Old Charles Towne District Task Force, will have its first meeting next month to talk about needs and goals for residents of District 9, the Old Towne area of Charleston.

The task force (the OCTF) has been around -- it was established in 1999 and has convened regularly to work toward making the district a safe, livable community for all residents. But its leaders, including Charleston City Councilmember Aubry Alexander and current OCTF chairperson Margaret Seidler, realized that the group has little to no participation from multi-unit family communities in the district. "There was a sense of us and them, like we weren't part of the same community," Seidler said. "So instead of becoming polarized, we have chosen to manage the polarity through defining common goals and working together."

In April of this year, the group brought together property owners, multi-family community owners and managers, business owners and the city police officials to work to improve relationships. Stand Up West Ashley is the result of that effort.

The inaugural Stand Up West Ashley meeting will take place at 7 p.m. July 19 at Orange Grove Elementary Charter School. All community members are invited to meet their neighbors and community leaders and share their ideas and concerns about crime prevention, beautification, livability, safety tips and more. Among the community leaders expected to attend are councilmember Alexander, Charleston Police Chief Greg Mullen, Charleston Livability Director Dan Riccio and Charleston County Councilmember Colleen Condon. Local businesses have also donated prizes.

Schools, PRC teaming up on free summer lunch program

In a joint effort with the Charleston County School District, the Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission is providing free meals this summer to children 18 or younger through the Summer Food Service Program. The program was established in 1975 to ensure that low-income children continue to receive nutritious meals when school is not in session. Funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it's administered locally in schools, churches and community centers.

Charleston County PRC has supported this program for more than 20 years, providing thousands of lunches to local children over the summer months. "We provide training and support for each site, order meals, monitor each site, and help them maintain daily records," says John Massey, assistant director of community education for Charleston County Parks. "We also inspect meals to ensure they are complete and properly stored."

According to Massey, each day for two months, meals are delivered to approximately 1,200 children, five days a week, at 34 sites. Approximately 45,000 nutritionally complete meals will be served during the course of the program, which is under way now and runs through Aug. 6.

The program sites are located throughout the rural parts of Charleston County, from McClellanville to Edisto. Each site is classified as an "open site," meaning it is located in or near a school where at least 50 percent of the children are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The program involves approximately 75 staff members. Lunch orders are placed the night before for each site, and early the following morning, Charleston County Food Service members prepare the meals at West Ashley High School and then deliver them to each site.

"The Summer Food Service Program supports the idea that a school should be a hub of community activity throughout the year," says Massey. "It supports summer enrichment activities for kids and makes sure they have at least one good meal a day."

SC ENCYCLOPEDIA
Order of the Palmetto, Order of the Silver Crescent

The Order of the Palmetto was instituted by Governor John C. West in 1971. The honor is awarded by the governor to an individual "in grateful recognition of your contributions and friendship to the State of South Carolina and her people." The honoree receives a certificate signed by the governor and bearing an impression of the state seal. The certificate, designed by the Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, features a background image of a palmetto. The award is thought to have been modeled on the Commonwealth of Kentucky's practice of awarding the title of "Colonel" to its honorees.

Concerned that the great numbers of awards might lessen its value, Governor Jim Hodges appointed a screening committee to review nominations and make recommendations for the Order of the Palmetto and other gubernatorial awards. Originally the award bestowed on the recipient the honorary title of "Palmetto Gentleman" or "Palmetto Lady," without any actual attendant rights or privileges. In December 2001 Hodges adopted a new format for the certificate of award, on the recommendation of the screening committee. This omitted the titles "Palmetto Lady (or Gentleman)" in order "to eliminate the distinction between male and female recipients of the award." …

The Order of the Silver Crescent was initiated by Governor David Beasley in 1997 as a companion award to the Order of the Palmetto and was intended to honor the achievements of South Carolinians aged eighteen or younger. In May 1999 Governor Hodges determined that the Silver Crescent would be awarded to persons of any age for exemplary community contributions and achievements. Each honoree received a certificate decorated with a large crescent moon, signed by the governor, and bearing the governor's seal of office.

Be an Angel

Charleston wouldn't be Charleston without its wealth of beautiful parks -- and parks don't get that way (beautiful) without the help of civic-minded people who are willing to get their hands dirty, literally. The Charleston Parks Conservancy, a nonprofit group devoted to caring for and promoting the city's 120-plus parks, is looking for Park Angels -- people to help plan events, raise money, do some planting and simply spread the word about the parks and the conservancy. The group offers these five reasons to become a Park Angel. For more information, visit this site.

  • You want to beautify the Charleston parks you use regularly.

  • It's a way to give back to your local community.

  • You get tips on gardening and planting from experienced horticulturists.

  • You want to support the environment - and it doesn't get much greener than the parks.

  • A halo and wings look great with a pair of gardening gloves.
