SAILWALKING:

New book to profile YESCarolina's successes

By JIMMY BAILEY
Founder, YESCarolina
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com

OCT. 7, 2010 - South Carolina leads the nation in one very important life-relevant skill: to take our kids and put them in the mindset of what they need to do to compete in the economy.


Bailey

We understand the importance of the entrepreneurial spirit and have parlayed that spirit into Youth Entrepreneurship South Carolina. Our organization promotes an entrepreneurial mentality among young people. "The Spirit of Outreach," a book coming out later this year, will profile a number of YESCarolina's success stories.

YESCarolina was conceived as a result of my reading an article about a speech made by Steve Marrioti about solving the problem of poverty through the idea of entrepreneurship. It was really one of those "a-ha!" moments for me, when I read the article. I was poor growing up.

It made sense to me - this article is not just for me to read, but about me and others like me. I contacted Steve Marriotti with the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship and said, "I want to bring this to Charleston." I couldn't have done it without many others. We all sat down and decided we'd take money out of our pockets and bring an instructor from New York. We did that two years in a row, then the General Assembly was interested in providing the training to all teachers in South Carolina.

It has become a vocation. We've trained 500 teachers in South Carolina how to teach with a very specific curriculum: Entrepreneurship. It is an interesting example of how a few people can affect change.

The problem of poverty has always been something that I understood. To be able to provide and plant a seed of financial independence in as many young South Carolinians as possible is our goal.

FUN FOR OCT. 21

Have some fun while you help out. YESCarolina is sponsoring Casablanca After Hours, a night of the spirit and spice of Morocco in downtown Charleston. Sip on cocktails in the market of Marrakesh and then head over to Rick's Café for dinner and a jazz performance by Ann Caldwell.

When: Thursday, Oct. 21, 6:30 p.m.

Where: Memminger Auditorium, 56 Beaufain St. Dress: Black tie optional.

More: Tickets are available online

From day one, we thought we should have profiles of young entrepreneurs, and that's where the upcoming book, "The Spirit of Outreach," comes in.

In my estimation, peer pressure works both positively and negatively. Seeing one's peers in a book, with a business that is either an idea or established, is more important for young struggling students in South Carolina than to see the multimillionaires that they just can't relate to. If one kid in each community is affected positively, that's pretty good stuff.

One of YESCarolina's students, Hunter Dean of Beaufort, submitted his idea for a renewable green energy project (to convert kitchen grease into fuel) to the Oppenheimer Future Enterprisers competition. Hunter and 12 other YESCarolina students from around the state will be at the gala (see box) to present their business plans.

I hope the book will reach kids in a way that we adults can't reach them. It will provide the motivation for them to seek out an entrepreneurial course in their school, and they might end up starting and operating their own business. It's just so important for a lot of these kids to have a success - some of them have never had a success before. Most of them have such great street sense, they could be inspired by something in the book that they can duplicate in their community and start making some money.

Jimmy Bailey, a former state legislator and president of Bailey & Associates commercial real estate agency, is the founder of YESCarolina.

New film 'Jews and Baseball' to be screened at Sottile Oct. 24
By ANN THRASH, contributing editor

OCT. 7, 2010 - If you know a serious baseball fan, there's a good chance he or she is a history buff, too. The two subjects just seem to go together. You could certainly make a good case that people who love baseball relish its history and traditions more than any other group of fans relishes a sport.


Thrash

It seems like a natural fit, then, that a history-loving, baseball-loving place like Charleston is one of only a handful of medium-sized cities to be the site for a screening of a new baseball documentary that focuses on a unique aspect of the game's history: the role and contribution of Jewish players in the Major Leagues and the special meaning the game has for many American Jews.

"Jews and Baseball: An American Love Story" will be screened on Oct. 24 at the Sottile Theatre downtown. The Charleston Jewish Experience, which is hosting the event, hopes this "Night of Jewish Film" will become an annual event to be called the Charleston Jewish Film Festival.

It's perhaps not widely known, but Charleston has a distinctive place in the history of Judaism in America. The city's earliest governing document made freedom of worship a cornerstone, attracting a number of Jewish families to the colony virtually from its founding. Charleston's Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim congregation, founded in 1749, was one of the first five Jewish congregations established in America, and its present sanctuary is the second-oldest synagogue building in the United States -- and the oldest in continuous use. By 1800, according to historian Walter Edgar's "South Carolina Encyclopedia," by 1800 one-fifth of all Jews in the United States lived in Charleston.

Written by Pulitzer Prize-winning former New York Times sportswriter Ira Berkow and narrated by actor Dustin Hoffman, "Jews and Baseball" features some wonderful old footage and stories about great baseball players from the 19th century to the present. It includes a rare interview with Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax, who earned national attention when he decided not to pitch Game 1 of the 1965 World Series because it fell on the Jewish High Holy Day of Yom Kippur. Others interviewed, both inside and outside the game, include Yogi Berra, Kevin Youkilis, Shawn Green, talk show host Larry King, and director Ron Howard.

In the film's trailer -- watch it here -- players talk about fighting through stereotypes about Jews being bad at all sports. Far worse, they dealt with outright discrimination -- hotels that didn't want Jewish players to stay there, for example. Fans and even players on other teams made Jewish players the target of epithets. "As soon as you struck out, you were not only a bum, you were a Jewish bum," one player says in the trailer.

As a press release about the film notes, "More than a film about sports, 'Jews and Baseball' is a story of immigration, assimilation, bigotry, heroism, the passing on of traditions, and the shattering of stereotypes."

"We have many reasons for establishing a Jewish film festival in Charleston, but first and foremost we hope to inspire a greater appreciation and long-lasting connection among members of the broader Charleston community by showcasing our rich traditions but also our modern Jewish culture," says Stanley Baker, president of BSBI Synagogue. "We also strive to instill pride in the members of our congregation. The event will start a tradition of featuring iconic Jewish filmmakers and movies as well as honoring individuals devoted to supporting the arts and Jewish culture in our city."

The evening will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the Sottile, 44 George St., with a dessert and champagne reception at which local resident Judith Solomon will receive the first Melvin and Judith Solomon Humanitarian Award for her longtime dedication to the arts in Charleston. The film screening starts at 7:45 p.m.

Tickets are $50 for the film and reception, and $20 for the film only. For information or to buy tickets, go online here.

Charleston County Emergency Medical Services has been awarded the
2010 National Paid EMS Service of the Year award. This honor is awarded by Cygnus Communications, owners of EMS Magazine, and is given to one paid EMS system in the U.S. each year.


Charleston County EMS was awarded the 2010 National Paid EMS Service of the Year award. Don Lundy, Director of Charleston County EMS, received the award in person at the annual EMS Expo held in Dallas, TX, Sept. 27-30. The honor included his travel costs and a check to the service for $1,000.

Charleston County EMS was chosen based on criteria such as its innovation in pre-hospital care, program upgrades, the high certification level of its personnel, worker safety and well-being, education and training program, involvement in the medical community, illness and injury prevention project and public education initiatives.

"I've always known that we, as a community, were blessed to have such talented people in the EMS system," said Don Lundy, director of Charleston County EMS. "That team effort with our medical staff includes dispatchers, first responders, our medical directors, hospital staff, plus all of the supportive staff, mechanics, procurement and billing. Everyone makes it a true team effort."

Lundy received the award in person at the annual EMS Expo that was held in Dallas Sept. 27-30. The honor included his travel costs and a check to the service for $1,000. In addition, the service will be highlighted in a future publication of EMS Magazine.

Charleston County EMS has been recognized for a variety of accomplishments, including:

  • South Carolina Large EMS System of the Year in 2002.
  • Public Information and Education Resource (PIER) award in 2002.
  • 2005 Regional Cooperation award presented by the South Carolina Association of Counties for assisting in a consortium to improve cardiac care.
  • First place EMS competition team for 2002 and 2004, including the first all-female team to win the award.
  • EMS Excellence Award presented by Zoll Corporation in 2006.

Charleston County EMS was established by County Council in 1973 as the first county-wide EMS service in South Carolina. It serves every municipality in the county with 14 ambulances available around-the-clock at substations throughout the county. Charleston County EMS responded to 49,310 requests for assistance in 2009.

World War II vets' memories can be heard in digital library

They went from the classroom to combat. These were The Citadel students of the World War II-era, an estimated 4,000 who answered the nation's call to fight totalitarianism in Europe and Asia. Now, 26 of their oral histories, including the audio recordings and full transcriptions, are available online through the Lowcountry Digital Library.

The publication of the interviews represents the culmination of a two-year project undertaken by The Citadel Oral History Program to document the dramatic experiences and critical contributions that these alumni made to the war effort.

"Formatting the materials makes them very convenient for classroom use, and they are reaching an even larger audience online," said Oral History Program Coordinator Kerry Taylor. "The inclusion of the oral histories in the Lowcountry Digital Library also helps build what is becoming a premier regional online archive."

According to The Citadel Archives and Museum, it is estimated that nearly all of about 4,000 undergraduates who attended The Citadel during World War II served in the Armed Forces. In addition 1,927 of the known 2,976 living graduates in 1946 had fought in World War II.

Among the oral histories included are those of former South Carolina Supreme Court Chief Justice A. Lee Chandler, '44, and his classmate Robert S. Adden, '44. The Class of 1944 went on active duty after their junior year and became "the class that never was" because they did not graduate.

In his oral history Adden describes playing dead as German soldiers and tanks passed him by. "They were so close one time I had to pull my legs in to keep the tank from running over my legs," he said.

Other notable interviewees include B-17 bomber pilot and former South Carolina Lt. Gov. Burnet Maybank, Jr., '45, and former Citadel President Gen. James A. Grimsley, '42, whose 33-year Army career included three Purple Hearts.

The WWII interviews were conducted by former Citadel Fellow Jack Bass and are permanently housed at The Citadel Archives and Museum. Click here to go to the Lowcountry Digital Library.

Jeanes Teachers' program improved African American schools

In the early 1900s, most African American children in South Carolina only attended school through the fourth grade for a few months each year in poorly maintained and equipped schools. Most African American teachers had little education.


Jeanes

In 1907 Anna T. Jeanes, a wealthy Philadelphia Quaker, donated $1 million to set up the Negro Rural School Fund to provide educational opportunities for black children in the rural South. At the insistence of Jeanes, Booker T. Washington joined a group of mostly white men on the board. As a result, the focus of the program was industrial education at first.

The program began with the hiring of the first Jeanes Teacher in Virginia in 1908. The Jeanes Supervisors, mostly African American women, helped teachers in rural schools. Many received training at traditionally black colleges in the South. By 1914 there were 118 Jeanes Teachers or Supervisors working across the South. By 1928, there were 324.

Julia Berry was employed as South Carolina's first Jeanes Industrial Teacher in 1909 in Sumter County. Although ten other Jeanes Teachers began working in the state in 1909, the program grew slowly. Until a State Director of Negro Education was appointed in 1918, no one had the specific responsibility of presenting the program to local communities. The Jeanes Fund initially paid the teachers' salaries, but in order for the program to expand, the state and its counties would have to contribute.

In 1936 the South Carolina Superintendent of Education reported that schools employing Jeanes Teachers were noticeably superior to those that did not. As the state and its counties became convinced of the value of the Jeanes program, they began to assume more of the costs.

Jeanes Teachers encouraged self-sufficiency. They taught students and their families to sew, bake, and do carpentry. Jeanes Teachers made home visits to urge children to attend school regularly, interacted with the community, emphasized the need for better health care, and taught families about sanitation. In 1918 the state's fifteen Jeanes Teachers became involved in organizing almost three hundred Homemakers' Clubs with more than 4,600 members as part of the war effort. Over time the emphasis of the Jeanes program shifted from a community focus to an educational focus. Jeanes Teachers sponsored reading workshops, in-service programs for teachers, art exhibits for children, and taught children how to cooperate with each other. They established libraries and helped to raise money for new facilities and schoolbooks.

The end of school segregation in the 1960s led to the demise of the Jeanes Teachers program. Having black Jeanes teachers supervising white teachers in newly integrated school systems was difficult. New federal grants provided funds to meet educational needs. Nevertheless, for more than sixty years, Jeanes Teachers had helped to provide better educational opportunities for African American children in South Carolina.

Five on being kind to your back


Lowery

A couple of years ago, we became convinced a disk was damaged in our lower back. Nothing crippling, but it made us feel ... old. We bought a zero gravity chair like the astronauts use, and lived happily ever after, frequently with our feet somewhere over our heads. This made us wonder: What other tips could help us improve our posture and zero out that pain?

We asked Todd Lowery, owner of the Mount Pleasant Relax the Back store.

  • Mom was right -- sit up straight, with your shoulders back. Buttocks should touch the back of your chair.

  • Distribute body weight evenly on both hips.

  • Bend knees at a right angle; don't cross your knees, and keep them even with or slightly higher than your hips.

  • When driving, move the seat close to the steering wheel to support the curve of your back. You should be close enough to bend your knees and still reach the pedals.

  • Avoid sitting in the same position for more than 30 minutes.
