TODAY'S FOCUS
French students enthralled with Charleston's gardens

By HERB FRAZIER
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com

AUG. 16, 2010 - Two French horticultural students visiting Magnolia Plantation and Gardens this summer find excitement in what "binyahs" in Lowcountry South Carolina take for granted.


Frazier

The moss-draped oak trees throughout the area and the presence of the European invention of a romantic garden in a Southern landscape at Magnolia surprised Jean-Christophe Pigeon and Thibaut Jeandel when they arrived here earlier this summer.

They've also toured gardens elsewhere in the South and in downtown Charleston, particularly the private gardens in the historic district designed in the early 20th century by famed landscape architect Lutrell Briggs.

"We visit the gardens to see different plants and learn the histories of the gardens," Pigeon says. The southern United States, he says, "is a special area where everything grows."

Pigeon and Jeandel are students at the prestigious Versailles National School of Landscape Architecture in Paris. Pigeon, a graphic designer, is studying how to design parks and gardens. Thibaut is using his knowledge of sound engineering to explore ways to amplify the natural sounds in a garden to enhance the experience.

In return for their experience in Magnolia, Pigoen and Jeandel will help Magnolia locate rare varieties of camellias and azaleas in Europe that weren't imported to America three centuries ago.

Their visit is tied to Magnolia's affiliation with the Great Gardens of America Preservation Alliance, which grew out of a meeting at Magnolia in 2008 to preserve ancient varieties of camellias and azaleas. Since its inception, the alliance has grown to more than 30 gardens in 10 southern states. Magnolia is the nation's last romantic garden, a concept developed in Europe.

After Pigeon and Thibaut return to Paris this week, they plan to look for varieties of camellias and azaleas that were not imported to Charleston. Miles Beach, director of Magnolia's camellia collection, says there are many cultivars in Europe that never came to the United States in the 18th century. "We want to get those, too," he adds.

Tom Johnson, Magnolia's director of gardens, says, "We are hoping that through this relationship (with Pigeon and Thibaut) we can make our romantic garden more in tune with what was in France and take the concept as close to the roots for the future.

"When we set up this internship we were looking for an exchange that goes beyond acquiring plant material," Johnson says. "We want American students to travel to France next year to stimulate an exchange of culture around horticulture."

Herb Frazier is a Charleston-based freelance writer. He is the author of "Gullah Memories Behind God's Back," which is scheduled to be released in the early fall by the Evening Post Publishing Co. The book is a collection of stories from black and white residents of the Cainhoy, Wando and Huger communities and St. Thomas and Daniel islands.

All about free antibiotics and that celebrated cherry juice
By ANDY BRACK, publisher

AUG. 16, 2010 - Call me slow to get hip to the news that Publix's pharmacies offer free generic oral antibiotics.


Brack

A couple of weeks back when a child developed an earache, Dr. Malcolm Rhodes at Parkwood Pediatrics prescribed the pink stuff - amoxicillin. In passing, he mentioned that Publix would provide the medicine for free.

Surprised, I went to the Publix on James Island and found out it was true. Thirty minutes after turning in the order, I got a 10-day supply - worth more than $31 according to the Publix printout -- for free.

Wow. What a great community service.

"The program has been very successful and thousands of prescriptions have been filled since we launched the program in 2007," said Publix spokeswoman Brenda Reid from Atlanta. "As health care and the cost of living continue to climb this is one way to give back to our customers by providing this service at no charge." (We couldn't get a comment from a local Publix pharmacist.)

Now, you and I know that a generic antibiotic like amoxicillin really doesn't cost $31 to Publix. This pink stuff has been around for years. The dose given to us was probably worth a dollar or two.

Still, Publix has found an innovative way to help customers - and draw in potential customers - in economically challenging times. It's a very smart business move. In fact, now that you know the company offers free antibiotics at its pharmacies, there's more of a chance you'll shop at Publix, or, at least buy something there while you're waiting for your medicine.

Of the grocery chain's 1,021 stores in five states, more than 800 include pharmacies, including local stores on James Island, Mount Pleasant, Johns Island, North Charleston and Goose Creek.

Click here for a list of eight antibiotics the store offers for free.

Cherry juice update: Last week during a trip to Atlanta, I found the much-heralded Turkish sour cherry juice described a couple of weeks ago.

Bereket Turkish Grocery in Norcross, Ga., offers the juice in 330ml cans and 1-liter cartons. The imported juice - the same brand as I enjoyed throughout Turkey - has the refreshing, captivating, sweet-sour taste that I was starting to miss since last month's trip.

I bought a case. (12 cartons for about $21.)

GOOD NEWS
Event celebrates solidarity of Jewish women

Sponsored by Charleston Jewish Federation, this full day program will take place at the Double Tree Guest Suites, downtown Charleston.

"Our vision and purpose for 'Charleston Jewish Women: Celebrate the Journey' event began as a wish; a wish to build relationships and camaraderie, and enhance the overall sense of community among Jewish women in the Charleston area. We hope this event will turn strangers into friends and create a greater sense of unity as a group. As we all know, a strong sense of community inspires people to work together toward achieving greater goals beyond that which can be accomplished individually," said Sharon Becker, co-chair.

Ranch receives gift to build first independent living cottage

Eagle Harbor Ranch in Summerville received a $25,000 donation from Children's Cancer Cooperative to build its first independent living cottage. This cottage will serve as a transitional home to the boys who have successfully graduated from high school and are starting their own lives. This cottage will hold two boys and will be 700 square feet. There will be two bedrooms, a living area with a kitchenette, a bathroom and a storage area.

The boys will be able to live in this transitional cottage until the age of 21. They will not have to pay rent, but will be required to pay utilities, meet with counselors weekly and allow counselors to meet regularly with their employers and college professors.

Eagle Harbor Ranch already has two homes with eight boys and this will be the first independent cottage to be built. The ranch is a nonprofit home for abused, neglected and abandoned boys between the ages of 6 and 21 in the Summerville area of Berkeley County. The boys join a natural family setting with houseparents, chores, devotions, vacations and discipline. s. Eagle Harbor has had to turn away hundreds of children because of no open room. The plan is to build four more homes and the independent cottage for
the older boys. For more information, go online here.

Wine fest picks Lowcountry Local First as signature charity

The BB&T Charleston Wine + Food Festival, scheduled for March 3-6, 2011, has chosen the community-based, nonprofit organization Lowcountry Local First as the signature charity this year. Festival supporters and guests lend a hand in raising proceeds that directly benefit this organization.

Lowcountry Local First advocates the benefits of a healthy local economy by strengthening community support for independent locally owned businesses and farmers. The Festival's 2011 charitable donation will support LLF's Farm Fresh Food program, which is aimed at increasing the availability of local, sustainably produced products for chefs, grocers, and consumers through an increase in the number of locally-based farms and farmers; providing greater access to land suitable for agricultural production; integrating local foods into area schools and institutions; and enhancing public awareness in the significance of supporting local famers.

"Lowcountry Local First was a natural choice for the Festival as the Signature Charity because their mission to enhance Charleston's culinary community is so closely tied with ours," said Rick Widman, chairman of the festival's Board of Directors. Last year the Festival raised an estimated $77,000 for their Signature Charities and scholarships combined.

The annual BB&T Charleston Wine + Food Festival, March 3-6, 2011, celebrates a local food culture rich in tradition, James Beard award-winning chefs and the second-best city to visit in the U.S., according to Conde Nast Traveler's 2009 Readers Choice Awards. The four-day event is praised as one of the top five food and wine festivals in the U.S. by Forbes Traveler. The Festival, a non-profit organization, benefits local culinary charities and scholarships.

Go online for more information about Lowcountry Local First. Also online is more information about the Festival or call 843.727.9998 ext. 1. The new Web site re-launches on Aug. 30 with the 2011 event schedule and guest lineup. Tickets go on sale online at 5:30pm on Sept. 2.

New mortgage office invests in downtown revitalization

Ikon Financial Group, an Isle of Palms and Mount Pleasant-based mortgage firm, has taken up residence in offices along King Street in Charleston's Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood. The new office at 478 King St., Suite 4, is focused on assisting area homebuyers, many of whom are redeveloping existing properties.

The office, headed by Mick Jewell, a former mortgage broker with First Financial Services, offers first-time homebuyer seminars and specializes in historic property loans, first-time home-buyer programs, VA loans and no-down-payment options. They also are involved in The Hub SC, a space created to support the surrounding community and encourage local business growth through office and meeting space, forums and networking.

"Buying a historic home can come with a lot of hoops to jump through and the team at the downtown Ikon office is well-versed in the requirements for mortgages for these unique properties," Jewell said. "We love this neighborhood and we're so excited to be a part of its revitalization and hope to do whatever we can to encourage it to flourish."

SC ENCYCLOPEDIA
Pioneering physician founds hospital in Charleston

Lucy Hughes Brown was born in April 1863 in North Carolina and was orphaned. She graduated in 1885 from Scotia Seminary in North Carolina. After completing a medical degree at the Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia in March 1894, she was the first African American woman to receive a professional license from the North Carolina Medical Board. She established a practice at Wilmington, North Carolina, and married Rev. David Brown, who was the minister of a Wilmington Presbyterian church.

After practicing medicine in North Carolina for two years, Brown moved to Charleston and became the first black female physician to practice in South Carolina. With several other African Americans, she contributed to the establishment of the Cannon Hospital and Training School for Nurses in 1897, which was later renamed McClennan-Banks Hospital. Brown headed the department of nursing training. She presented lectures and stressed that practical experience was preferable to textbook knowledge, although she advised students to prepare with a combination of both classroom and practical knowledge. The first class of nurses benefiting from Brown's guidance graduated in 1898.

As a recipe for their success, Brown urged graduates to embrace "great adaptability, good judgement, the ability to hold one's tongue and a willingness to do work outside the usual line," and to good-naturedly "take for their services what their patients can afford to pay." She frequently disseminated advice through her roles as an editor of the Hospital Herald and as secretary of the Cannon Hospital Association.

Brown also worked to advance the condition of African American women outside the Cannon Hospital. She served as a delegate to the National Colored Woman's Congress at the 1895 Atlanta Exposition and assisted in the creating of resolutions addressing southern race relations and demanding safer conditions for women on public transportation. Brown retired in 1904 due to illness and died on June 26, 1911.
