TODAY'S FOCUS
Knowing your personal values is key to financial planning

By JENNIFER BLANCHARD
Financial advisor, Commonwealth Financial Group
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com


Blanchard

JULY 7, 2010 -- We all know we need to plan for our financial future - a retirement fund, an emergency fund and maybe some money set aside for a vacation or the kids' college education.

But we tend to piecemeal our efforts, saving money here and purchasing an investment there. We don't really take the time to think about what's most important in our lives and use our financial plan to further those goals and desires - anything from a vacation home in the mountains to a dream trip to Paris.

When I meet with new clients, I take time to assess their personal and family values, having them take a look at their current approach to money and where they want to be. Together, we look at the big picture, putting together the pieces of a financial plan that will help them achieve their life goals. Our entire company gets to know our clients so they are more than spreadsheets and investments. By developing those relationships, we can better help them plan a financial future that meets their needs.

I encourage couples to participate in the planning sessions together. Quite often, we find married couples haven't talked about their individual approach to their finances and what they'd like to do with their money in the future. I give clients a prepared set of questions that encourages dialogue and discussion.

If you're considering creating a financial plan, think about how it can reflect your personal values. Ask yourself these questions:

1. If you had five years to live, what would you do? This question can help you really focus on what's most important to you. You may very well find that what you're spending your money on doesn't play into the answer to this question.

2. If money were no object, what would you do right now? What might you be doing differently?

3. Think back to your childhood and your family's financial situation, and discuss that with your spouse. You may find your early experiences with money - whether you had it or you didn't - have shaped the way you think about money today.

By taking a look at your values, you can craft a financial plan that is truly yours - one that meets your needs and gets you a little closer to Paris.

Candidates should pick up their campaign trash
By ANDY BRACK, editor

JULY 7, 2010 – Note to statewide candidates: If you’re going to break state law on campaign signs, you should at least get rid of the evidence after the election.


Brack

Especially if you’re a candidate for attorney general, the person who is supposed to enforce state laws. (That’s you, GOP nominee Alan Wilson.)

According to South Carolina law (code section 57-25-10), it is illegal for political signs to be placed on highway rights of way and “visible from the main traveled way of the highway. A person violating this section is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, may be charged not more than $100 or imprisoned for not more than 30 days.”

Interestingly, a different section of state law says it is also illegal for individuals to put political signs on private property if they are visible from interstates or federal highways and in place for more than 90 days.


Large Wilson sign at Exit 199E on Interestate 26

It’s pretty clear that most candidates, or at least their campaign volunteers, put signs all over South Carolina’s 47,000 miles of highways and byways, regardless of the law.

But that doesn’t make it right.

Wilson campaign spokesman Adam Piper said the campaign asked its volunteers to put signs only in legal locations. But some, he said, may have been overzealous. In fact, to highlight how much free help the campaign had, he emphasized that Wilson volunteers logged more than 100,000 grassroots phone calls in the two-week runoff period.

“The last thing we want to do is have signs where they are not supposed to be or have signs that are wasting our resources,” Piper said. “That doesn’t excuse the fact that our volunteers were overzealous and may have put signs in places they weren’t supposed to.”

Of course, Wilson isn’t the only offender. In just the last few days, we’ve seen signs for a host of Republican candidates: Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer, Attorney General Henry McMaster, Comptroller General Richard Eckstrom and a host of statewide candidates that lost in the June elections Bill Connor, Kelly, Elizabeth Moffly and Leighton Lord. And those are just the names we’ve seen in the last week in limited driving around the state.

While we have seen hardly any signs for Democratic candidates, maybe that’s just because there weren’t too many Democratic primary candidates – or because some (Alvin Greene?) didn’t campaign much at all.


At exit 194E on I-26

Regardless, we’ve been struck this year by the apparent concerted effort by Republicans to blanket exit ramps along interstates. Not only is it dangerous for workers to scurry around in the middle of the night erecting these signs, but it is visual clutter.

One senior state employee told us that Republican campaign consultants reportedly encouraged campaigns as a stealthy tactic to put signs at exit ramps – particularly on Thursday nights. (Piper stressed there was no such directive in the Wilson campaign.)

And why on Thursday nights? Because it’s common knowledge that highway road crews generally work a four-day week and if signs are placed on Thursday night, they’ll be visible for at least three full day before there’s a real chance they’ll be taken down.

And with lots of recent state budget cuts, it’s clear the Highway Department is doing less and less to remove the annoying campaign signs.

So now that we’ve got a three or four month hiatus from crazy campaign sign world, it seems like it is time for someone – perhaps the current attorney general whose signs are also littering state byways – to send a message to candidates: Pick up your signs or face prosecution.

GOOD NEWS
Aquarium event to benefit Gulf wildlife rescue efforts

The South Carolina Aquarium will host an evening of live music and food on July 17 as a benefit for wildlife rescue efforts in the wake of the oil spill on the Gulf Coast. Guests will have a chance to hear personal accounts from aquarium staff members who have recently been to the Gulf to help with sea turtle rescue and dolphin surveying.

Musical performers will include the Red Top Ramblers, Henry's Attic, Mark Bryan of Hootie and the Blowfish, and Doug Jones and Gary Greene from Cravin' Melon. Krewe of Charleston will provide Cajun food, and beer and nonalcoholic beverages will be served.

A percentage of the proceeds from the event will be sent directly to the Gulf in support of sea turtle recovery efforts at the Audubon Nature Institute. Proceeds will also support the aquarium's wildlife care, conservation and rescue programs, and will help make it possible for the aquarium staff to lend expertise to the Gulf. Additional donations to help the Gulf will be accepted at the door.

The benefit will take place from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. July 17 at the aquarium. Tickets are $30 per person. Reservations are suggested and may be made by calling 577-FISH (3474). The aquarium is an underwriting partner of CharlestonCurrents.com.

Classic Remodeling ranked among top firms nationwide

Johns Island-based Classic Remodeling & Construction is one of only 55 remodeling firms nationwide to be named a Quality Leader in customer satisfaction, and one of only a few to receive 100 percent customer satisfaction cores in all areas of the survey, according to GuildQuality, an independent company that surveys customers of real estate companies, home builders, remodelers and contractors. The winning companies were listed in the May issue of Qualified Remodeler magazine.

Classic Remodeling is the only South Carolina firm included in the "Top 55." "Our inclusion in the Top 55 is a tribute to each member of our team, which has always worked with one goal in mind - provide an exceptional home remodeling experience," says Bob Fleming, president of Classic Remodeling.

The customer satisfaction survey included four categories: communication, construction quality, design options, and trust. Classic Remodeling earned 100 percent satisfaction scores in each category; in addition, 100% of customers responded positively when asked if they would recommend the company to others.

Classic Remodeling & Construction has picked up numerous industry awards in recent years, including ten Crysalis Awards in 10 years, honoring the finest remodeling projects across the country. The company is an underwriting partner of CharlestonCurrents.com.

County to offer free workshops for small businesses

Charleston County's Small Business Enterprise (SBE) program will hold a series of three free workshops for small-business owners this month to let companies know how they can work with the county. All sessions will all be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in Conference Room B339 at the Lonnie Hamilton III Public Services Building at 4045 Bridge View Drive in North Charleston.

In addition to Charleston County Procurement Department staff and other local specialists, the workshops will include instructors from the U.S. Small Business Administration, the University of South Carolina's Small Business Development Center, the U.S. General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service, an attorney specializing in small business affairs, and the Business Resource Center at the Charleston County Public Library.

The workshops' dates and topics are:

  • July 15: Getting Certified as an SBE with Charleston County; Legal Aspects for Small Businesses, (including business succession planning); Using Technology to Access Valuable No-Cost Business Resources; and Using Technology to Access Bid Opportunities.

  • July 22: Doing Business with the Local, State and Federal Government; Federal Small Business Administration Loan Program.

  • July 29: The GSA Federal Acquisition Register (FAR) and How to Get Your Business on It; Foreseeable Contract Opportunities with Charleston County; Meet & Greet with Department Heads and Decision Makers.

The workshop series culminates with a "meet and greet" session to allow the small business owners a face-to-face opportunity to introduce their businesses to Charleston County government's procurement and contract decision-makers.

Participants do not need to be certified to attend, but do need to register in advance because space is limited. For more information or to sign up, go here online or call 958-4765.

SC ENCYCLOPEDIA
Phoebe Yates Pember (1823-1913)

Confederate hospital matron and author Phoebe Yates Pember was born in Charleston on August 18, 1823, the fourth of six daughters born to Jacob Clavius Levy and Fanny Yates, a prosperous and cultured Jewish couple. The family moved to Savannah, Georgia, in 1848. In 1856 she married Thomas Pember, a Christian, and moved to his home in Boston, Massachusetts. He soon thereafter contracted tuberculosis, and the couple relocated to Aiken, South Carolina, where he died on July 9, 1861. Phoebe went to live in Savannah with her parents, who shortly thereafter "refugeed" to Marietta, Georgia.


Pember

In November 1862 Pember was approached by Mrs. George W. Randolph, wife of the Confederate secretary of war. She asked Pember to serve as matron in Chimborazo Hospital, a complex of military hospitals on the outskirts of Richmond, Virginia. Pember became chief matron of Hospital No. 2 and is believed to have been the first matron appointed at Chimborazo.

In her autobiography Pember described her hospital duties as follows: "I have entire charge of my department, seeing that everything is cleanly, orderly and all prescriptions of physicians are given in the proper time, food properly prepared and so on."

Pember overcame considerable opposition from her male counterparts in the other Chimborazo Hospitals, as well as from some patients, their families, and camp followers. The noted Civil War historian Bell Wiley described her as a "dynamic little woman." On one occasion she even brandished a cocked pistol to defend her supply of medicinal whiskey from an undeserving soldier. After Federal forces captured Richmond in 1865, Pember remained at Chimborazo until "all the sick were either convalescent or dead," caring for wounded Confederates during the transition marked by the Federal occupation.

After the war, Pember returned to Georgia. She traveled a great deal and wrote articles for several periodicals. In 1879 she published A Southern Woman's Story, which remains one of the best accounts of hospital care and conditions during the Civil War. She died in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on March 4, 1913, and was buried in Savannah beside her husband in Laurel Grove Cemetery. In 1995 the U.S. Postal Service included Pember on a sheet of twenty stamps honoring persons and events associated with the Civil War.

(Editor's note: Today the Phoebe Pember House -- located in the home in which Pember was born, at 26 Society St. -- is a bed-and-breakfast spot that offers retreats in a holistic environment.)

Rallying for the film industry

The film industry in the Lowcountry and the rest of the state was spared a devastating blow recently when Gov. Mark Sanford's veto of the state's film incentives program was overridden.

Meanwhile, here are 10 movies that were filmed in the Lowcountry and state in decades past. How many of these oldies but goodies do you recall? For the full list, go to Sandlapper Magazine's Web site.
