JAN.
10, 2011 - It's a brand new year and many of us are setting new
goals for getting into better shape. As a community, we can do the
same thing.

Here
at Charleston
County Environmental Management, our goal is to continually
increase the recycling rate, but we can't do it without your help.
Recycling is easier than ever and a great way to shape up our environment,
our economy, and our health - without even breaking a sweat! Here
are some tips for strengthening your recycling routine this year:
- Organics
are good.
If you still have a Christmas tree, put it on the curb if your
municipality picks up yard waste; otherwise, take it to a convenience
center. All trees and yard waste end up at Bees Ferry Landfill
to be ground and composted. The finished product will then be
used to enrich our local soils. Help close the recycling loop
by purchasing our
compost -- it's a real bargain at $10 a ton or $2 a bag!
-
|
YES,
YOU CAN RECYCLE THESE
There's
a lot now that you can recycle that you once couldn't.
Just look at what you can put now in the blue bins:
- Paperboard
milk cartons
- Cereal
boxes and other boxboard
- Office
paper
- All
plastics -- including caps. Don't, however, add plastic
bags. Recycle those at the grocery store.
Also,
recycle your cardboard boxes by flattening them and putting
next to the bins.
|
Reduce
your waste. With a little effort, you can divert a lot of
food waste from the landfill and concoct a potent supplement for
your garden, just by starting your own compost pile. Composting
at home can be as simple as you need it to be.
- Boxing
is valuable. Too many boxes are being put out with trash,
which is like throwing money away! Corrugated cardboard prices
have doubled in the past year and there is absolutely no reason
to bury it in the landfill when we can use the revenue for county
programs. If you have curbside pickup, please put flattened boxes
out with your recycling bins, or you can take them to one of our
numerous drop-
sites.
- Mix
it up. No need to sort out newspaper from junk mail and magazines.
We take ALL paper products, including boxboard, milk cartons and
cardboard, except tissues, paper towels, cups, and plates
-- put those in your new compost pile!
 Commingle
the rest.
In a separate bin go all the commingled materials: aluminum, glass,
steel and plastic. We now recycle ALL plastics #1 through #7,
including the caps, and just about everything else. The short
No List is: aluminum foil, Styrofoam, window or mirror glass,
and pottery. Need another bin? They're available
free at several locations.
- Plastic
bags are like junk food.
Please take these back to the grocery store for recycling. If
you feed them to our recycling bins, drop-boxes or yard waste,
they clog up the whole system and have to be picked out, picked
up, transported, and eventually buried in the landfill for posterity.
There is one exception to this rule, however: shredded paper needs
a clear plastic bag to contain it; otherwise, it gets crazy like
confetti!
At
our convenience centers, we also accept many
other products for special recycling, such as household
hazardous wastes, paint, motor and cooking oils, fluorescent light
bulbs, electronics and batteries. Visit
our Web site for more information or call us at 843-720-7111.
Thank you all for helping Charleston County reduce its "wasteline!"

Jack Alterman:
Still taking a shot at great shots
By ANDY BRACK, publisher
JAN.
10, 2011 - Day in and day out, getting the good shot has been the
motivation for noted Charleston photographer Jack Alterman.
 "If
I don't go out and shoot pictures every day, I don't feel like I've
woken up," the Charleston native said recently. "It's
just something I've got to do."
Over
the last 30 years, Alterman conservatively estimates he's shot 10,000
portraits and more than 600,000 exposures. He's traveled a half
million miles through 36 countries.
Often
just in search of an outstanding photo.
Despite
taking pictures in exotic places like Nepal and Bali, one of the
photographs that sticks most in Alterman's mind was taken five years
ago in West Ashley in the middle of U.S. Highway 17. The photograph,
shown below, is of James Island resident Libby Armstrong, the "face"
of Mama's Used Cars.
Alterman
wanted her to be part of a series he helped to develop called "Palmetto
Portraits Project" - - photos of people who represent what
living in South Carolina is about. The project, which became a book,
was on display until Sunday at the State
Museum in Columbia.
"One
of the things I find really fun is to conceptualize what you want
to do - - what you want to create as a visual piece," Alterman
explained. "I will bet that at a certain time of day …
that something will happen and I will get a great photo."
In
the case of "Mama" Armstrong, Alterman thought it would
be an interesting idea to get a shot of her as the sun set and cars
whizzed by.
"I
picked her up at her house and took her near the highway,"
he recalled. "I put her right in the median of the highway
in a red director's chair right during rush hour. I took out my
camera and shot two minutes of pictures while people were hollering,
'Hey, Mama; What's going on?' It worked better than I thought."
Conceptualizing
what might be a great shot and then going out to try to get it often
works, whether it's a surfer at dawn at Folly Beach or a trucker
hauling logs near Myrtle Beach. In the end, Alterman developed forceful
photos that got to the heart of people's lives in South Carolina.
 "One
of the things I try to do is to find a perspective that is very
difficult for anybody else to find," said Alterman, who served
in Marine Corps before eventually opening a photography studio in
1980 on Meeting Street. It blossomed into a photographic production
operation with 16 employees. He also shot lots of commercial projects
and corporate portraits.
Then
when the digital camera revolution occurred, having a big production
house with all of the film, chemicals and processing wasn't as important
or standard in the industry. The business scaled back, but Alterman
founded the Center for Photography to help people understand how
to excel in the digital age.
"Now
after moving on from that, I find myself doing the kind of thing
I did before I started - by myself with my own agenda," said
Alterman, whose studio at 36 George Street is just a half block
from where he started 30 years ago. "I'm able to take on projects
that are basically my own."
In
the offing: A photographic show scheduled for the spring at Piccolo
Spoleto.
"The
journey didn't take me far in distance but in that time I sort of
feel like I've come full circle - - I'm continuing to do what I
started that long ago."
That
means more compelling photos that tell stories of interesting people,
places and things.
After
30 years, Jack Alterman remains a photographer's photographer. He's
still bubbling with ideas about great photographic shots. And he's
still getting them.

City's free trolley
route expands up King Street
Beginning today, the route for the free trolley on King Street will
extend to Spring Street.
 Running
from Broad Street and now up to Spring Street, the free trolley
has been successful. Monthly CARTA
ridership figures from December to January 6 last year were 4,897.
The same period this year shows a ridership of 17,757.
"As we projected, the Trolley has made it easier for people
to get around downtown without their car," Mayor Joseph P.
Riley Jr. said. "We are pleased that the extension will begin
on Monday and look forward to even more riders as they travel the
greatest shopping and dining area in the country!"
The new route will include 3 new bus stops at King at Morris, King
at Ann and King at John.
Funding
for the trolley was provided by the city of Charleston, the S.C.
Ports Authority and the Charleston Convention and Visitors Bureau.
The free service started on Nov. 22, 2010. The route formerly included
a turn off of King Street at John Street. The popularity of the
route prompted the merchants past John Street to request the route
be extended up to those businesses.
Volunteers needed
for Charleston Fashion Week
Charleston Fashion Week organizers are looking for volunteers to
help with the March 22 to March 26 event.
Volunteers
in the areas of retail, customer service, marketing and backstage
production are needed. Apply

Part
of Von Kolnitz Road to close permanently
Charleston
County will permanently close a section of Von Kolnitz Road in Mount
Pleasant at 9:30 a.m. on Jan. 21 as part of the Johnnie
Dodds Boulevard Improvements Project in Mount Pleasant.
The
portion of Von Kolnitz Road between Bowman Road and the East Cooper
Medical Arts Center (at 1280 Von Kolnitz Road) is the section to
be closed. The closure will allow workers to relocate utilities.
(View
confusing detour map.)
 To
access any of the medical facilities along Von Kolnitz Road and
Hospital Drive after the closure, drivers can use the remaining
portion of Von Kolnitz Road or Hospital Drive via Bowman Road and
Mathis Ferry Road.
If
the weather is poor on this date, the permanent closure will occur
at the same time on the next weather-permitting day.
Drivers traveling through the project area are asked to be aware
of equipment and crews working in the area. Alternative routes are
recommended if possible. The public is also asked to notice traffic
control signs, reductions in speed limit and message board information,
and to note that all work is dependent on the weather.
The project, which is expected to be completed in the fall of 2012,
is funded by the Charleston County Transportation Sales Tax and
managed by Charleston County government's RoadWise Program, in close
coordination with the town of Mount Pleasant and the S.C. Department
of Transportation.
The
public can get up-to-date project information, including construction
status and traffic alerts, online.

Two
new restaurants open in Charleston
For
those who have a hankering for a snack or a full-blown but quick
meal, two new restaurants have opened in downtown Charleston.
A
European-style snack bar, Patat Spot Friet & Falafel, will open
at 11 a.m. Saturday at 41B George St. Across the street from the
Sottile Theater and a throw of the basketball from the College of
Charleston's Carolina First Arena, Patat Spot Friet & Falafel
will feature hand cut Patat Friet, Dutch style potato fries, and
handmade Falafel.
 A
second restaurant, Firehouse Subs, has opened its fifth location
in Charleston at 357 King St. The chain offers meats and cheeses
piled high atop toasted sub rolls served "Fully Involved"
with fresh produce, as well as salads and chili. The authentic firehouse
setting is based on the founders'200 years of firefighting heritage.
Customized
for the community, a hand-painted mural at the sub store depicts
the College of Charleston Cougar and the Citadel Bulldog running
beside an old pumper. The new store is open 10:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Franchisee Kevin Hatton owns five Firehouse Subs locations in the
area.
 Patat
Spot Friet & Falafel is the brainchild of Charleston native
Phillis Kalisky Mair and her husband, Jeff. Kalisky Mair, a College
of Charleston graduate and 24 year food and beverage industry veteran,
realized the need for a place for people to enjoy the foods she
loved as a child, when traveling to Holland with her Dutch mother.
"Food
is my passion and being a native of Charleston, I couldn't imagine
anything better than offering delicious street food like patat friet
and falafel to my hometown." said Kalisky Mair. You can enjoy
your falafel in their delicious pita pocket or opt for their "Garden
Spot" feature, a 5-foot-long salad bar.
The
restaurant will be open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Wednesday,
and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday through Saturday.

Marvin: Designing
an environment in which we can grow
Landscape
architect Robert E. Marvin was born in Colleton County on February
10, 1920, the son of W. R. Marvin and Alta E. Marvin. The grandson
of a rice plantation farmer, he was raised on the 15,000-acre Bonnie
Doone Plantation, where his father was overseer.
As
a child, Marvin explored the Lowcountry marshlands and forests,
developing an appreciation for the land and the natural environment.
After observing the work of the New York landscape architects Innocenti
and Webel on the plantation gardens, Marvin pursued a degree in
horticulture at Clemson College. Following graduation in 1941, he
served as a captain in the U.S. Army during World War II. He returned
to study landscape architecture in the graduate program at the University
of Georgia (both of his alma maters would later honor him with distinguished
alumni awards). He married Anna Lou Carrington in 1947, and they
had two children.
In
1947 Marvin established a private practice in landscape architecture
in the town of Walterboro, the county seat of his native Colleton
County but far from urbanized areas where most landscape architects
tended to congregate. Early in his career he developed a guiding
philosophy, "to create and design an environment in which each
individual can grow and develop to be a full human being as God
intended him to be." Despite the scarcity of work for a landscape
architect in Walterboro, Marvin, supported by Anna Lou, set his
standards high, determining that he would not be involved in a project
without control over "everything outside the walls of the building."
Sensitivity to the natural environment was essential to his work.
"We need to knock the walls down and let nature in again,"
he stated. "[M]an needs to get out of his box that technology
has created. He needs to wrap his arms around nature."
Because
he structured his practice to be responsive to the natural environment
of his native Southeast, Marvin focused his energy on regional projects.
Some of his notable projects within South Carolina include Harbor
Town at Sea Pines Plantation, Hilton Head Island (1969); Henry C.
Chambers Park, Beaufort (1976); and the Governor's Mansion and Finlay
Park in Columbia.
Marvin
was noted for his sensitive design responses to the fragile Lowcountry
natural environment in which he worked. Uncompromising in his approach
to his work, he influenced the next generation of landscape architects
profoundly. Marvin was honored with numerous national, regional,
and local awards, including induction into the Fellows of the American
Society of Landscape Architects, the South Carolina Order of the
Palmetto, and the South Carolina Hall of Fame. Records of his professional
work and awards have been selected for inclusion in the South Caroliniana
Library. Marvin was one of the first landscape architects in South
Carolina, and his career spanned six decades. He died on June 25,
2001, and was buried in Live Oak Cemetery in Walterboro.
