Bikram Yoga Charleston adds champion, new location
By DAVID KISER
Special to Charleston Currents

DEC. 30, 2010 - Griffin Peddicord, who overcame a diagnosis of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis to finish first in the 2010 Bishnu Charan Ghosh Yoga Championship Male Youth Division, has joined Bikram Yoga Charleston.


Kiser

And that's not the only news to come out of the yoga studio, which will open its second location at the corner of Spring and President streets on about Jan. 8.

The downtown location was chosen to better serve downtown residents, office and medical workers, and nearby college students. The new studio, which features extended hours and free off-street parking, will offer clients Bikram "hot" yoga classes seven days a week by the state's only certified instructors. Like its predecessor in Mount Pleasant's Shops at Seaside Farms, it features a custom-built, eco-friendly, precisely heated and humidified exercise room, plus comfortable locker rooms with showers and an expansive lobby for relaxing afterwards with other students.

While Peddicord's classmates in Maryland were attending proms and graduation parties, he moved on with diligence and dedication to become, at 17, the youngest teacher ever to receive certification from The Bikram Yoga College of India.

I am thrilled to welcome Griffin as an instructor to our highly-qualified team at Bikram Yoga Charleston. His expertise in instructing, as well as competing in Bikram Yoga is a wonderful asset to us. There are few people of his accomplishment and experience, and we look forward to his company.


Peddicord

Students consider it an honor to learn from a Yoga champion, and as the only Bikram hot yoga studio in the Charleston/Columbia area, people are traveling considerable distances to take Griffin's classes.

Peddicord said he chose to move to Charleston because of the extraordinary effort Kiser puts into finding well-qualified yogis to educate the students. Griffin is now a freshman at College of Charleston, studying international business and economics.

When he is not attending school or teaching classes, Griffin travels as a youth ambassador for Bikram Yoga. His goal is to help educate the world's young people on the joys of yoga.

"I feel yoga has given me so much," he explained, "that I have an intrinsic responsibility to aid the growth of yoga among young people."

Based on his own physical challenges, Griffin is a walking, talking and bending miracle. Diagnosed with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis in 2007, he was unable to complete even one lap around the track at high school lacrosse try-outs. Bikram Yoga was key to conquering the disease. Now, as an International Champion, Griffin hopes to inspire children to overcome their obstacles.

The Mount Pleasant studio at 1973 Riviera Drive in Seaside Farms is the state's first and only yoga school offering Bikram's Beginning Yoga Class, with 26 postures and two breathing exercises.

David Kiser is director of Bikram Yoga Charleston. He can be reached at (843) 884-3737 or by email at. For more information, visit www.bikramcharleston.com.


An ambrosial toast to the New Year
By ANN THRASH, contributing editor

DEC. 30, 2010 - At the first newspaper reporting job I had, back in the (ouch) mid-1980s, one of the stories I got assigned to write in anticipation of New Year's Day was a little feature asking local politicians, bigwigs and personalities such as the sheriff and county administrator what their best hangover cure was. Can you imagine that happening in today's world? My guess is that most people in the public eye wouldn't want to comment on that subject now -- it wouldn't be in their best self-interest to have constituents know they'd ever overindulged.

While I definitely do NOT recommend doing what you have to do to get a hangover, I do want to recommend this: If you'll be celebrating legally and in moderation, as we all should, and want to ring in 2011 with something different, consider trying a cocktail that I'm particularly fond of -- in fact, I thought up the recipe.

The whole thing happened this past summer when I entered a contest in which a local restaurant asked folks to devise a Charleston-themed Christmas cocktail. I didn't make the cut in the contest, but everyone who's tasted my drink says it's great.

I call it Spiked Ambrosia.

Ambrosia, as you might know, is a traditional Southern holiday dessert, typically featuring fresh oranges and coconut. Ambrosia is the idea I started with when trying to dream up the recipe for the contest.

Oranges have been grown locally for centuries -- in fact, there was once an orangerie downtown that gave Orange Street its name. And coconuts were frequently seen in Charleston in the 1700s and 1800s as well; because of our prominence as a port of call, we got lots of then-exotic fruit and other items from Caribbean nations -- so I thought coconut fit the Charleston theme of the contest as well. I used coconut rum in the drink, since rum also would have been on those ships that frequented Charleston Harbor centuries ago.

I really wanted to use Madeira, too. I'm a big fan of this now-rarely-drunk wine. Madeira was hugely popular in Charleston in the 1700s and 1800s; it was one of the rare wines that actually improved from the long, rolling voyage across the Atlantic from Madeira Island (off the coast of Portugal), and it could aged for decades even despite the Lowcountry's high heat.

Here's the recipe for Spiked Ambrosia. As I mentioned, it didn't make the finals -- the winner was a martini with vanilla vodka and dark chocolate liqueur, neither of which I'm sure about the Charleston connection for -- not that I'm bitter about losing or anything. But seriously, give this drink a try for fun.

A quick note on the Madeira: It's a fortified wine, like port, so you can't buy it in the grocery stores. My neighborhood liquor store had a lighter styled type called Rainwater Madeira, but that was too light and didn't work in my recipe, so I went to Total Wine and got a bottle of Sandeman Fine Rich Madeira that worked wonderfully. Don't even think about using a "cooking wine" Madeira -- salty and nasty!

Have a happy and safe New Year's celebration!

Spiked Ambrosia

2 jiggers Fine Rich Madeira
2 jiggers orange juice
½ jigger amaretto
1 jigger coconut rum
Splash of grenadine

Add everything to a shaker along with crushed ice. Serve in a martini glass. Makes 1 cocktail.

Long-term solutions needed for hunger, homeless

To Charleston Currents:

Instead of increasing money to buy food for the hungry and housing for the homeless [Guerard, 12/27], let's make a resolution to look for and implement long term (even short term) solutions to these problems.

Handouts are not the answer. Let's resolve to use fewer Band-Aids and more cures. Tougher, for sure, but the only thing that'll work in the long run.

-- Joanne B. Milkereit, RD, Charleston, S.C.

Aquarium celebrates holidays with canned food donation


Photo by Kate Dittloff

The 15-foot-tall Morris Island lighthouse that stood in the South Carolina Aquarium's Great Hall during the holiday season, which was constructed solely of cans donated by Piggly Wiggly, was dismantled Tuesday for a good cause.

Crews packed up the lighthouse as well as another canned sculpture representing the train from The Polar Express, and took them Wednesday along with canned goods donated by aquarium guests to Crisis Ministries. South Carolina Aquarium Board Chairman Ken Seeger was on hand for the big donation.

In all, more than 5,200 cans went to the organization that works to end homelessness and hunger in the Lowcountry. On average, Crisis Ministries' soup kitchen provides 175 lunchtime meals per day to anyone in the community who is in need, in all about 200,000 meals are served there per year.

The Aquarium's sponsors for the project included Stumphouse Architecture + Design, Y102.5, Piggly Wiggly, Crisis Ministries and its partner site, The Children's Museum of the Lowcountry.

Name those raccoons and win a Magnolia membership

Magnolia Plantation and Gardens has an eye-catching new resident, an albino raccoon.

It is the second albino to join the Gardens' petting zoo this year, along with a dark-colored raccoon. The animals, all born this year, come from Keeper of the Wild in St. George.

In the 25 years that Janet Kinser has provided shelter to injured and orphaned animals she's seen only two albino raccoons. But 2010 has been unusual.

"This year, I've seen six albino raccoons," said Kinser, Keeper of the Wild's founding director. "It has been odd or coincidental."

Albino raccoons are produced by a genetic defect. They don't survive long in the wild because prey can spot them easily, Chris Smith, director of Magnolia's petting zoo, said. The new arrival is a male. The second albino raccoon is a female, and the dark-colored raccoon is a male.

"The raccoons are tame enough for me to take care of them in the exhibit, but they are not pets," Smith said. "They are wild animals, therefore, kids won't have a chance to pet them."

But Magnolia is giving children a chance to name the two albino raccoons and their friend. To enter, mail your entries to: Name the Raccoons, Magnolia Plantation and Garden, 3550 Ashley River Road, Charleston, S.C. 29414 or email tours@magnoliaplantation.com.

First prize is an annual family membership. Deadline to enter is Jan. 30.

Patriots Point celebrates centennial with free admission

Patriots Point is offering visitors a chance to visit the naval and maritime museum in Mount Pleasant for free on Jan. 8 and 9 to celebrate the centennial of naval aviation.

Visiting hours will be 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Climb aboard for a free tour of the Essex aircraft carrier USS Yorktown, the nation's most decorated aircraft carrier to survive conflict and scrapping, as the nation celebrates the achievements and sacrifice of men and women involved in naval aviation over the last century, multiple wars and conflicts.

The "Father of Naval Aviation" is a Charlestonian. William Adger Moffett grew up in Charleston, attended Second Presbyterian Church and attended the Naval Academy from 1886 to 1890. He was a Medal of Honor recipient in 1915 and as a rear admiral commanded the Bureau of Naval Aeronautics from 1921 until his death in 1933 involving the crash of the airship Akron. Rear Adm. Moffett's efforts laid the foundation of the modern air Navy and the carrier forces upon which we built during World War II.

In 2011 Patriots Point will host multiple events to celebrate the centennial.


"Olive Kitteridge," by Elizabeth Strout

Olive Kitteridge is a retired math teacher living in Crosby, Maine. She's opinionated, difficult, a fundamentally lonely person who nonetheless doesn't much enjoy the company of others.

Olive is married to Henry, who in most ways truly is her opposite number. He's kind, genial, mystified at times by his moody wife and their moody son.

But Olive has her moments of compassion, of remarkable perception. Around her in this tiny town, others' lives frequently intertwine with Olive's, despite her natural isolation.

I read this book because the Charleston County Public Library Website said it won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 2009. (I hoped that reading Serious Literature would help arrest the steady march of my brain on its way to mush. That was a pretty good instinct on my part.)

What was most shocking to me after reading this insightful and often funny book about the interior lives of folks who were frequently my age or older - I'm 55 - was to look at the flyleaf and see a photograph of the book's youngish author, Elizabeth Strout. How could she step into the mind of someone so much older?

Ashley River Road dates back to Native Americans

The Ashley River Road is one of the oldest roads in South Carolina. It began as a Native American trading path, paralleling the Ashley River, and later served the colonists of the original Charleston settlement. The Lords Proprietors authorized the road in 1690. The modern road consists of an approximately fifteen-mile portion of S.C. Highway 61 up to Bacon's Bridge Road (S.C. Highway 165). During the colonial era, numerous plantations lined the route, as did St. Andrew's Episcopal Church (1706). In 1721 a law was passed to protect the shade trees along its route, a forerunner of modern ordinances that protect trees and require buffers.


The St. Andrew's Episcopal Church was built in 1706. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

In the years after the Civil War, Ashley River Road communities, especially those of newly emancipated African Americans, established numerous churches along its routes, including Springfield Baptist, St. Andrew's Episcopal, St. Philip's African Methodist Episcopal, and Ashley River Road Missionary Baptist. Since World War II, suburban development has increasingly moved from Charleston up the Ashley River Road. Of major significance was the prevention by preservationists of an exit off Interstate 526 onto the Ashley River Road. Instead traffic was shifted to a new four-lane highway paralleling the road to the west.

Scenic sections of the eleven-mile segment from Church Creek almost to S.C. Highway 165 are still canopied by forests festooned with Spanish moss. In 1983 the road was placed in the National Register of Historic Places. It was designated a State Scenic Byway in 1998 and a National Scenic Byway in 2000. Historic sites along its route, such as Drayton Hall, Magnolia Gardens, and Middleton Place, attract hundreds of thousands of people each year, making the road one of the most popular historic routes in the state. Increasing suburban sprawl and the pressures of traffic, however, render the future of this unique road uncertain.
