Blackbaud harvests an idea
By
LELAND BOISSEAU
Customer Operations, Blackbaud
Special to Charleston Currents
NOV.
29, 2010 - As I picked up a copy of my book club's recommended "Animal,
Vegetable, Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver, my eyes grazed the
cover displaying a quote from Rick Bass: "This book will change
your life … perhaps never before has [food] been written about
so passionately."
Boisseau |
Food
is a passion of mine, but somehow I fail to even keep the plants
alive that are marked with a one-year minimum life guarantee. I
shrugged my shoulders and decided maybe I would learn a thing or
two. Little did I know this book would be a catalyst, inspiring
a passion which would yield a corporate community garden located
behind the Blackbaud headquarters building on Daniel Island.
I
waited until the week before my book club was scheduled to meet
to start reading (one behavior I still have a goal to change - procrastination!).
Fervently scribbling facts as I read, I found myself unable to put
the book down. It was a rare occurrence, as I frequently deem cleaning
or organizing a higher priority than sitting with a book in hand.
I
was fascinated by this family who devoted an entire year of their
lives to deliberately eating food that was locally raised or grown
themselves. Upon finishing the book I felt a call to action, but
needed to determine which idea to go with: an educational children's
garden, personal garden, or a community garden. As an unseasoned
gardener, a personal garden would have been the fitting challenge
for me; however my predominant "dreamer" personality kicked
into high gear. So, I entered "start a community garden"
into Blackbaud's Idea Bank. One of Blackbaud's corporate values
is "service to others makes the world a better place."
I was excited when the idea was approved.
 My
focus was to produce a garden that would serve as a means to give
back to employees, our local community and the environment. At our
first meeting, I relished the support and enthusiasm of my fellow
co-workers. I presented the concept of an au natural garden, aligned
with green practices to conserve natural resources, that would donate
the fresh food grown to our local neighbors in need through the
nonprofit Fields
to Families. The reaction was unanimously positive and we soon
began forming committees, setting target dates and holding fundraising
initiatives to kick-start this grassroots community garden. Fast
forward six months and the garden, since named "Sprouts,"
boasts nine raised beds fully stocked, lasagna style, with layers
of peat moss, compost, manure, grass clippings and tea leaves. In
the early fall we planted heirloom vegetable seeds and received
the generous donation of a beehive from a fellow employee to help
pollinate our crop (and of course, to produce honey). We are composting
with local restaurants on Daniel Island, where they save their food
scraps for us to turn into compost for the beds.
Our
first harvest was a reality check: six baby sized carrots, four
turnips and three green beans. We did, however, extract eight quarts
of honey from our beehive. We have made great strides, yet Sprouts
is very much a work in progress.
This
garden is a great resource for local nonprofits, and I've also come
to realize it has become an outlet for employees as a place to relieve
stress by tending to our crops. With this simple concept of a community
garden, we have involved local businesses and employees in giving
back.

Getting
back to our linguistic roots
By ANDY BRACK, publisher
NOV.
29, 2010 -- A few months back, we started running a new section
-- "Lagniappe" - whenever there was an extra photograph
we thought readers would enjoy. As explained when this periodic
end-of-the-newsletter section started, a "lagniappe" a
word used in Louisiana to describe a bonus -- a small gift given
with a purchase like a "baker's dozen" of a product.
Brack |
But
in a letter below, West Ashley resident
Mimi Dias rightly reminds us that there's a Gullah word -- "broadus"
-- that captures the same sentiment. According to an online dictionary,
"broadus" means "something given as a bonus"
or, not surprisingly, a "lagniappe."
More
research shows "broadus" is an English translation that
may stem from the Gullah "brawtus," as related in a glossary
of words taken from "The Black Border," a 1922 book published
by Ambrose Gonzales who was a founder and publisher of The State
newspaper. Gonzales, a Gullah speaker born on a Colleton County
plantation just before the Civil War, is remembered as a savvy businessman
who kept the newspaper alive despite big odds. As related in a biographical
essay describing why he was inducted into the S.C. Business Hall
of Fame in 1986, "he made a unique and lasting contribution
with his famous sketches employing the Gullah dialect." Gonzales
died in 1926.
We
like how "brawtus" seems to more closely reflect the notion
of someone who "brought us" something extra, but will
stick with convention and now rename the special section at the
end of the newsletter, "Broadus." Thanks, Mimi.

CUSTOMER
SERVICE: With the holidays before us, be on the lookout for
good customer service by local businesses. When you experience it,
drop us a line.
We've
been thinking about this based on two experiences -- one good, one
bad -- over the last week.
Here
in Charleston, known for being the most polite city in the country,
the kind folks at Gerald's
Tires and Brakes lived up to their advertising ("It's always
a great day at Gerald's") in how they dealt with a deflated
tire. Turns out a screw punctured the tire, causing a slow leak.
The company's solution: Patch the tire and charge the customer nothing,
just like it had done hundreds, perhaps thousands, of times before.
Talk about a way to build customer loyalty. Gerald's did it gently
and with a friendly manner. They turned an annoying situation into
a good experience.
Contrast
that friendly service with a hotelier in Asheville. Instead of working
with a customer who wanted a receipt and some information, a surly
manager confronted the guest with a bad attitude and said the information
already had been processed and would be on a credit card statement.
Recommendation: Don't stay at the GuestHouse International Inn near
Biltmore Estates.
Good
customer service, especially in a recession, needs to be on the
top of the list for any business person. As retailers keep their
fingers crossed that the holiday season will be good for business,
they might want to remind their staffs to be extra nice to customers
looking to buy holiday gifts.

FEEDBACK
Let's
not give up our own words
To
the editor:
I
enjoy the item -- generally a pleasant picture -- that is frequently
at the end of Charleston Currents. I only wish that instead
of titling it "Lagniappe," which comes to us from New
Orleans, you'd use the old Lowcountry term "Broadus,"
a Gullah word of much the same meaning: the extra ear of corn from
the vegetable man, the thirteenth doughnut or cookie from the bakery,
a couple of hot peppers to complement the sack of collards, the
little gift for no special reason.
Our
accents and our language are being homogenized; let's not give up
South Carolina's own words too easily.

Carolina Lanterns
takes starring role in "Extreme Makeover"
Carolina Lanterns/Lowcountry Lighting Center in Mount Pleasant recently
took part in the "Extreme Makeover Home Edition" television
show.
 Jan
Clouse, president of Carolina Lanterns, said a representative of
the show asked if she would donate the exterior lighting for the
family of Carmen and Jim Simpson of Savannah. The show's designers
selected custom fixtures for the home.
"We
had less than a week to make and send the lanterns to a staging
location in Savannah," Clouse said. On Nov. 12, nationally
recognized chef Paula Dean and Ty Pennington from the show woke
the family.
Jenni
Crider and Jan Clouse of Carolina Lanterns were invited to the reveal.
"We participated in the 'move the bus' … on Thursday,
the 18th, the family returned to find a beautiful restored home.
It was a great event with tears of joy." The show will air
in February 2011.
This wasn't Clouse's first experience with "Home Makeover."
Two years ago, Carolina Lanterns participated to help a family in
the Myrtle Beach area.

Andie
MacDowell became independent in Gaffney
Actress
and model "Andie" MacDowell was born in Gaffney on April
21, 1958, the youngest of four daughters born to Marion and Paula
MacDowell. Her parents divorced when she was six.
MacDowell |
As
a child, MacDowell longed to be an actress but spent much of her
teen years taking care of her mother, who suffered from alcoholism.
MacDowell has reflected about her difficult childhood in Gaffney:
"Becoming independent is what made it possible to leave a small
town and go to the big city in the first place."
MacDowell
attended Winthrop College for two years before boldly walking into
New York's Elite Model Management with only minimal modeling experience.
She became a successful model in Paris and New York. While continuing
to represent L'Oreal cosmetics, MacDowell pursued her dream of becoming
an actress.
Unfortunately,
in her first film role as Lady Jane in Greystoke: The Legend
of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1984), the director dubbed her
distinctive southern voice with the voice of actress Glenn Close.
Overcoming the humiliating setback, MacDowell would go on to receive
a Los Angeles Film Critics Award, a Golden Globe nomination and
other honors for portraying a repressed southern housewife in
sex, lies and videotape (1989). She received a second Golden
Globe nomination for playing a shy horticulturist in the romantic
comedy Green Card (1990) and continued to gain recognition
in popular films including St. Elmo's Fire (1985), Groundhog
Day (1993), and Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994), for
which she received her third Golden Globe nomination.
Preferring
a quiet life and her role as a mother to the glamour and pace of
Hollywood, MacDowell lived on a Montana ranch and later moved to
Asheville, North Carolina. She married the model and musician Paul
Qualley in 1986 and had three children before divorcing in 1999.
In 2001 MacDowell married the businessman Rhett D. Hartzog, a former
schoolmate from Gaffney.

Five facts
about dehydration
Yoo |
Flu season
is upon us, so we thought we'd ask a local expert about one of the
flu's major dangers -- dehydration. Dehydration occurs when a person
loses more water/fluids than they take in. Dr. Benjamin Yoo of Healthfirst
Rapid Care in North Charleston, created BANa,
a rehydration drink with a high concentration of sodium that serves
as an alternative to a visit to the ER for dehydration. Here are
the five things you might not know about dehydration:
- Infants
and children, older adults, people with chronic illnesses, (endurance)
athletes and people who live in high altitudes are more susceptible
to dehydration.
 The
first signs of dehydration include: headache, nausea, vomiting,
muscle cramps, weakness and dizziness.
- The electrolyte
sodium is lost when a person is dehydrated. Rehydrating with a
drink that contains a high concentration of sodium is an ideal
at-home treatment because it helps the body retain fluids.
- One of the
main reasons for a hangover is dehydration.
- There are
limitless ways to avoid dehydration. The best methods include:
drinking plenty of fluids (especially in hot weather; even if
you're not thirsty; before, during and after strenuous activity
such as exercise or sports); wearing light-colored, loose-fitting
clothing and a hat; avoiding alcohol and caffeine; and drinking
a rehydration beverage with high levels of sodium.
