Five do-ahead

cooking tipsfor the holidays

Personal che Preston Leeke makes his living by staying ahead o his cooking. Leeke, who runs

Home Cooking by Preston, will come to your home to cook, or bring reshly rozen dishes to

your door. As the holidays approach, he shares fve tips to keep your culinary head above water

at your next holiday party.

Start preparing the day before.Things like cutting vegetables and preparing

cold dishes can be done ahead and will save you time the day o the party. Think big. Preparing one big dish is aster and easier than preparing several

smaller dishes.

Use timers. Multitasking can save lots o time, but it can also allow you to orget

about the dessert in the oven.

Give yourself plenty of time. Select dishes that can be prepared easily in the

time that you have. Rushing a dish can lead to mistakes, including under cooking.

Finish cooking before guests arrive. Even i you plan to serve hors doeuvres,

ood can be ready to serve and kept warm in the oven between 180 and 200 F.

Having everything done ahead o time leaves you more time with your guests and lessens the chance o

overcooking.

Charlie Sexton originally was intrigued about buildingshing rods because it seemed like a good deal.

Turns out, it was a good deal more than that; itbecame his passion.

Rod-building paraphernalia, including a homemade lathe,cover the dining room table at his Blythewood-area home. Rodsin various stages of construction lean against the wall. Finishedbeauties hang on the garage wall.

I just get a kick out of doing it, Sexton said. Ive prettymuch got a custom rod for every place I go to sh.

And he gives away nearly as many as he keeps. One hedonated for auction at a National Kidney Foundation fundraiserdrew a $1,700 winning bid.

Sexton, 81 and a member of the Custom Rod Builders Guild,evangelizes on the joys of rod building. He has taught a fewclasses, and now hes trying to get a rod-building club started inthe Midlands.

All it takes is some training, a few simple pieces of equipmentand a smattering of skill and patience. The end result, if youdo it right, is better than a store-bought rod, Sexton said. Evenif you arent an expert builder like Sexton, theres somethingspecial about catching a sh with a rod you built yourself.

It does make the sh feel better on the end of the line, saidJohn Campbell, who took Sextons class and has built three rodsof his own.

A retired airline pilot and lifelong sherman, Sexton rst gotinterested in rod building in the late 1970s.

I read a magazine article that said if I built my own shingrod, I could save 50 percent, Sexton said. Thats the biggestd*** lie Ive ever heard.

After buying equipment and parts, instead of the $50 rod hecould have bought in a store, he had spent $150 and a lot of time

on his homemade rod. But he quicklyrealized the goal wasnt to save money; it

was to create a unique, high-quality rod.If you build a rod in my class, you

cant buy a better rod than that no matterhow much you pay for it, Sexton said.

Sexton, who lived in Poughkeepsie,N.Y., at the time, went to his rst rod-building seminar in Allentown, Pa., in1982. He sat in the back of the room and

watched and listened. A year later, hestarted making his own rods and broughtsome to the next seminar.

Even though he had made his rodsstraight from the directions in one of the

rod-builders journals, the other builderswere impressed enough to ask him togive a presentation at their next annualmeeting. Hes made one every year since,always coming up with something new totalk about. His inventions to make the jobeasier have earned him the nickname theRube Goldberg of rod builders.

His garage is full of devices he has puttogether. One of his gizmos helps nd

the spine of the blank rods that serveas the canvas for his art. All rods have acertain point where they bend naturally.Ideally, you put the shing-line guideseither directly on the spine or 180degrees from the spine. That keeps therod perfectly balanced when it bends.Sexton says store-bought rods seldomhave their guides exactly on the spine.

Sexton devised a spine-nder out of aball bearing, a couple of pieces of woodand a wooden point. Put the base of therod on the point, pull the end of the roddown, and it rotates on the ball bearing toreveal the spine.

Sexton also built the lathe on his diningroom table, which he uses to rotate therod while wrapping thread to createcolorful patterns (sh, American ags,company logos) around the handle. If aguy has more artistic ability than me, Godknows what he could do, he said.

The handles themselves can be a workof art. Sexton creates custom handles by

wrapping carbon ber around a PVC

pipe, applying epoxy and then wrappingit in shrink tape while it dries. The outerlayer often is some form of snake skin.Rattlesnake is the best.

For another set of handles, he collectedwine corks and cut and trimmed theminto custom shapes. But he decided that

was too time-consuming.Sexton gures to put about seven hours

of working time into each rod, spread outover several days to allow for epoxy todry. For his classes, he likes to do themover two weekends so the work isnt donein a hurry.

If you build a rod in my class,you cant buy a better rod than that

no matter how much you pay for it.

He will build custom rods tospecications, starting in the $200 range

for low-end materials to several times thatfor the best rods, handles, guides and reelseats. But, in his twist of the give a mana sh-teach a man to sh cliche, hedrather help somebody learn how to maketheir own rods.

He has taught three rod-buildingclasses in recent years. Now hed like toform a local rod-building club, joiningothers with expertise of their own andnovices with a desire to learn the skill. Hehopes to recruit half a dozen people.

I want help other people learn howto do this, said Sexton, surrounded byboxes of rod parts in his garage. Its

obvious Im very enthused about myhobby.

We turned to several professional stagersand decorators who designed showcase homes

for the 2011 Tour of Homes sponsored by theHome Builders of Great Columbia.

Jessica Sauble, an interior designer withBuilders Design, worked on The Draytonin Cherokee Village. Built by HolidayBuilders, the home features a coffered ceilingin the foyer, an open oor plan with arches,Charleston-style double porches and asunroom.

Finding balance.Jessica Reitz, ASID, Inhaus Studio, LLC, added these details in a townhouse, built byVillage Green Builder in the Saluda River Club community. At right, oversized sofas in cream stand out against the

darker stained oor and wood furniture while pillows and plants offer a pop of color.

of smaller spaces and are a little more

creative, says Sauble. A home ofce, forexample, needs to double as a guest room or vice versa. That unused cornercan house a home ofce armoire or anorganization station for bills, recipes orhomework.

Sauble advises avoiding many smallpieces that will give a room a clutteredlook. And she warns against matchymatchy. Instead, go for an eclectic,collected ambiance, she says.

Area rugs that grab attention in aroom can be all about texture orall about design. And, of course,the right colors draw the eye.

Use mirrors over the windowsto give a transom-like look to aroom; it also gives the illusion ofdepth. To achieve this look in theDrayton house, she purchasedinexpensive mirrors from Target.

Consider a local attraction to plana childs room around. Sauble

focused a girls room on thetheme of the Riverbanks Zoo andGarden. She incorporated animal

silhouette decals and bright,striped window treatments in theroom.

Julie M. Jones of Tuttle Interiorsassisted Hallmark Homes with furnishingand staging The Roycraft, a home inHampton Forest. The neighborhoodis so fun young, hip, colorful wewanted to bring that vibe into the modelhome as well, she says.

My mindset is that design does nothave to be expensive. If you are youngand just starting out, particularly, itsimportant to have fun with it, but also bebudget conscious.

For some of the rooms, she purchasedfrom IKEA.

Since The Roycraft is a two-bedroom,two-and-a-half bathroom townhouse, shewanted to make certain she utilized everypossible space. Instead of a sofa tablein the living room, we placed a 3-foot-deep desk. Its the perfect size and allowsyou to work without having to hold

everything on your lap.Because Jones was working with a

narrow footprint and tighter spaces, the

goal was to give the illusion that thespaces were larger. A sectional doesa great job of providing lots of seatingwithout being bulky, she says. It hasall the seating you need, but doesntoverwhelm the space. Also, its a lower-backed sofa, so everything stays low asyour eye travels toward the back of thehouse.

Jones also decorated The Calhoun inthe Woodleigh Pointe neighborhood ofLake Carolina, also built by HallmarkHomes. This home is a more spacious,two-story home with four full porches, alarge kitchen island and an open kitchen/dining/living room plan. You can see a

busy family and kids tting right in. Wewanted to make sure the liveliness andow was enhanced by the interiors.

The mudroom can serve as a sewingroom, an ofce, a gardening nook or anenhanced pantry. We added chalkboardand magnet paint to two walls in this

Be bold.Jessica Sauble, an interior designer with Builders Designs, focused on the Riverbanks Zoo theme in a child's bedroom, incorporating animalsilhouette decals and brightly colored fabric on the bed and window treatments.

At a townhome in the Saluda River Club featured in the Tourof Homes, interior designerJessica Reitz contrasted oversized,tight-back sofas in cream with darker stained wood pieces.

Reitz also added geometric patterned throw rugs for a splashof color and a bit of local personality with a South Carolinarailroad art piece. A wall clock and vases with oral branchescreates a focal point above a dining buffet piece.

{ home }

Have you brushed off picking paint for your homeuntil it cools off? Well, its time. But you couldntpick a hotter time to take advantage of all theinnovations in paint. Benjamin Moore dealer

Wade Sturkie of E.D.s Paint & Decorating in Lexingtonexplains some of the new features and offers a few tips.E.D.s Paint and Decorating is at 403 E. Main St.,Lexington. E.D.s Paint Center is in Polo Plaza, 9810

Two Notch Road. Your home is your most importantinvestment, says Sturkie, so take the time to put somethought and research into your paint project.

Know the ABCs of VOCs:What are VOCs? A 2008article in Consumer Reports denes VOCs, volatileorganic compounds, as solvents that get released intothe air as the paint dries. The federal government limitsemissions to 250 grams per liter for at nishes and 380grams per liter in other nishes. But a few companieshave developed products that adhere to more stringentlimits. Read paint labels and ask questions, Sturkie says.A base paint might be free of VOCs but adding colorpigmentation might also add VOCs. Our tinting processdoes not change the VOC of paints.

Try acrylic paints: Sturkie, who has been in the paintand decorating business for 30 years, says that oil-basedpaints are being phased out because of their higher VOCcontent, although, at present, oil-based primers arestill allowed. The new acrylic Aura exterior paint fromBenjamin Moore is a waterborne product, with a higherresistance to mildew and fading and comes in threedifferent nishes: at, satin (some sheen) and semi-gloss.

Paint or stain thedeck? Deck andporch paintshave changedtremendouslytoo, saysSturkie.They

have really improved the durability. The semitransparents have to have clear coats put over them thatneed to be freshened up every few years, but the solids area one-time shot.

Pick the right paint for the purpose of the room:Interior paint comes in at (no sheen), matte (1 percentsheen), eggshell (slight sheen), pearl (satin nish) andsemi-gloss. Our most popular seller is eggshell,says Sturkie, because it is the most child-friendly; itsscrubbable. A matte nish will better hide imperfectionsin the walls. Pearl lends itself to contemporary settings,he says, while semi-gloss is the nish to use on wood trim.

Many of todays bathrooms now have spa-like features and much more potential for mold and mildew damage so they require a special moisture-resistant paint.

Selecting color can be tricky. Get help from a localdealer who has been in the business for a while and knowspaints. So many things affect selection: style of the home(traditional or contemporary), lighting in the room, woodtones of furniture and oors, fabrics and rugs. Having aninspirational piece such as a swatch of fabric or acolor from a painting will help. Come armed

with a photo of the room, a drawing ofthe rooms layout and its relationship toother rooms.

Choose the right tools for the job.

A roller with a short nap is best fordrywall, while concrete takes a thickernap. In the brush line, choose a highquality nylon brush. A short-handledbrush is popular with the ladies becauseit ts their hands better.

All of us who sail on Lake Murray have a vested interest in the future of sailing.

The publication of Nicholas Hayess book, Saving Sailing, was a call to armsfor those who want sailing to ourish as a sport and pastime.

With any leisure activity, it is vital that it remain attractive to new and youngerparticipants to sustain itself into the next generation. Hayes points out that sailingparticipation has declined 40 percent since 1997. Those involved in the sport have

witnessed this downturn, but the percentage is still startling. Other outdoor sports,such as hunting, have suffered similar fates in recent years.

Hayes states that contrary to popular myth, cost is not a barrier for entry into sailingfor many. Fiberglass sailboats are often inexpensive, last for decades, and retain their

value. The biggest obstacle for most new sailors is that they do not know how to start

sailing. Some try to learn on their own and often give up.While todays society provides families with endless opportunities that compete fortheir free time, Hayes lays the responsibility at the feet of experienced sailors, andparents in particular, for not bringing newcomers into the sport.

Hayes ties the drop in sailing participation to the decline of family sailing. He urgesparents to get actively involved in their childrens activities and not simply sit on thesidelines.

Mentoring is contagious enthusiasm, is Hayes slogan, and he believes that it isthe answer to saving sailing. By mentoring your own children rather than relying onothers, sailing becomes a family activity.

Columbia Sailing Club (CSC), LakeMurray Sailing Club (LMSC), andWindward Point Yacht Club all haveyouth camps and programs to trainyoungsters who want to become sailors.

Parents can take sailing courses as wellto develop skills and eventually make ita family activity. CSC, LMSC, and theLanier Sailing Academy on Lake Murrayall offer adult courses.

LMSC has taken Hayes approach onestep further and initiated a mentoringprogram for its members and prospectivemembers. The club provides a list ofmentors who coach new sailors as they

develop their skills and offer advice ondifferent boats.It is essential that todays sailors pass

on the joys of sailing to a younger, morediverse group so that it remains a vitalsport. As Nicholas Hayes says, Somend sailing to be magnetic, consuming,even spiritual.

That sounds like something worthsharing with everyone.

Staying in step with one of the states legendary high schoolbands keeps Irmo band booster club members hopping.For every hour students practice their instruments, booster

parents invest comparable time preparing for an event or tyingup loose ends from the last one.

Booster club president John Lindower presides over thecacophony of logistics, which includes attending frequentmeetings, sending and answering urries of emails and gettingmusicians, Sousaphones, drum sets, ags and other props intoplaying position.

Water em, snack em, feed em is a booster club mantra. Likean army, the band marches on its stomach; when the ensemble

is on the move, the booster club picks uptabs at meal stops.

Then, sometimes, there is the

kindness of restaurant owners, such asHungry Howies Pizza, stepping up tofeed the entourage, Lindower said.

Yellow Jacket fever is infectious inIrmo, extending not only to the highly

visible, award-winning marching bandand attendant color guard unit, but alsoto the concert, symphonic and jazz bands.

Because there also are clinics to attend,

sheet music to supply, instruments andequipment to repair and fundraising anever-present priority.

The booster club raises money byselling bales of pine straw in October.

This month, club members take ordersfor Florida citrus what has becomeknown as Band Fruit. Local businessesoffer special Yellow Jacket discounts.Others donate a pre-set percentage ofcertain days proceeds.

Every fundraising event also raisesawareness of the band within thecommunity, from the garage sale and

pancake breakfast to August band camp.The booster clubs reputation for hard

work and effectiveness inuenced RogerSimpsons decision to accept his positionas director of bands this fall. But it is theclubs reputation for hospitality thats atthe heart of its successful fundraising.

Hosting the annual Palmetto Espritde Corps Invitational, a marching bandcompetition and partnership with theU.S. Marine Corps, provides an early fallrevenue source in exchange for a lot ofhard work.

exhibition at the end of the event, thehost band does not compete in thePalmetto, explained booster clubsecretary Jane Richardson. This freesband members to work most of theafternoon alongside booster members atone of the work posts.

Booster club members direct trafc,assist the judges and operate theconcession stands. Before the lights in thestadium went off on this years Palmetto,Caroline Buck, its chairwoman, had anidea list started for Palmetto 2012.

Boosting the band that boosts thefootball teams morale helps makethe Spring Valley Band Booster Club

a rst-string player at the high school.Their help is signicant to the band

and the overall success of the Vikingsathletics program. Its a big job, saidDavid Allison, director of bands at Spring

Valley High School.Myriad are the tasks undertaken by

members of this multi-talented cadreof committed parents, who seem to beomnipresent when the band is on themove. Lisa Jones, president of the Spring

Valley club, said the band has a differentlevel of nancial support than the ballteam, so parents step up. Otherwise, ourkids would not get to participate in thisopportunity for growth.

Jones, whose daughter now plays theclarinet she played a generation ago inher high school band, said booster clubmembers work begins long before schooland football crank up.

Returning band members are expectedto learn their music over the summer

and to be ready to play when band campbegins in August, Jones said. Thebooster club is committed to havingparents on site whenever theres anythingband-related going on. There are 92 band

members, and all players parents areconsidered members ofthe band booster club.

Much more goes onbehind the scenes. Ifthere were a need forrst aid, or a player

just needed a littleencouragement, abooster parent is there,

Jones said. It would beunrealistic to expect theband director to do his

job and also keep up withall the other things thatmust be done for 92kids.

Allison, who hasworked with the SpringValley band for 18 yearsand as director since 2005, said theband booster club supports the bandsoperating budget, and plans social eventssuch as a banquet, Senior Night, andstaff-student meals. Fundraising is a bigpart of their effort, and their enthusiasmand wide-spread support enhances thebands reputation in the community,making it easier to attract sponsorships,donations and ad sales.

Jody Lee chairs the booster clubs pit

crew, which is responsible for gettinginstruments out on the eld for thehalftime performance. Students wouldntbe able to maneuver the vibraphone, and

handling the bass drum is tough, saidLee, a former SV trumpet player.

Unwieldy instruments are wheeledout onto the playing eld and off inBandorh, a Japanese mini-truck that youcould say is the bands mascot. The truck,small enough to t inside the bed of a

regular truck, is equipped with specialtires that wont tear upthe turf. It is crewed byparents.

A few parents wentall the way to a truckdealership in Texarkana,

Texas, to get the Bandohrand drive it back toColumbia, said Lee,

whose son and daughterare band members.

Booster parents alsohelp with uniforms; themembers plumes areespecially important.

Jones explained theViking green line toppedoff by the featheredplumes, on shakos (hats),

enable band judges to see that the ranksare aligned properly. The straighter theplumes, the straighter the line, and thebetter the points. So the Spring Valleyband tips its hats to judges.

The booster clubs sells programs,tickets and concessions at the statechampionship in late October. We wantto establish a foundation so no student

will have to drop out of the band becauseof a lack of funds. The costs can really

add up, said Jones.

Aribbon cutting to mark theopening of landing areas at thenew Lexington County Airport

was only days away. When theJapanese attacked Pearl Harbor

on Dec. 7, 1941, the airport swiftlyshifted to military operation.

The former family farmland had beentransformed into military-ready landing

elds as part of a strategic grid authorizedfor the nations defense drive.

The Columbia Army Air Base, as itsoon was renamed, emerged as the pre-eminent WWII B-25 training center,

with auxiliary airelds and sub-basesunder its jurisdiction.

But personnel on the air base werenot all military. Civilians who were

residents of nearby communities wereemployed in numerous positions.

Many former personnel who still livein the Midlands will attend the 70thanniversary celebration on Dec. 3 at theSouth Carolina Aeronautics Hangar nearColumbia Metropolitan Airport.

Help restore the B-25

The bases reputation was built on the wings of the B-25 bomber

aircraft. Six years ago a B-25 was pulled from Lake Murray and now

is on exhibition at the Southern Museum of Flight in Birmingham, Ala.

In this region the largest icon remainingto represent this historic chapter in South

Carolinas history is a rare B-25C that

ditched into Lake Greenwood on D-Day and

was brought up nearly four decades later.

It returned to Columbia, where most of its

service record accrued, in time to be a focal

point for two Doolittle Raiders Reunions,

in 1992 and again in 2002. Late last year

the Mitchell bomber was saved from being

sold to out-of-state interests when the

S.C. Historic Aviation Foundation (SCHAF)

formed to protect and restore it; the aircraft

now is located at the Curtiss Wright Hangar

at Hamilton Owens Airport. Since late 2010 SCHAF has held severalevents to enlighten the public about the planes importance and to

raise money for its restoration. To help or learn more, go to www.

Columbia Army Air Bases biggest mission

Still best known as a starting point for one of aviation historys

most daring missions the Doolittle Raid over Tokyo the air base

welcomed Lt. Col. Jimmy Doolittle Feb. 3, 1942, to recruit volunteers

for a top secret mission. All volunteered; from those, 24 crews were

picked and moved swiftly to Eglin Field in Pensacola, Fla., to begin

specialized training within a tighter security environment. The only

Columbian who ew into history as one of Doolittles Raiders was

Horace Crouch (1918-2005) who returned to his hometown with his

squadron that had been ying submarine patrols off the Oregon coast.

He often said he was surprised by the orders; there had not been an

airbase here when he left for Oregon.

co-pilot J. Royden Stork and pilot R.D. Joyce before the daring WWII aerial attack on Japan in

April 1942.

to the main post ofce in Columbia. Acouple of days a week, and especially onpay days, he was sent out to the basespost ofce to assist with the demandfor mail orders to send money home.Price was so inspired by watching planestake off and land he applied for and was

accepted as an aviation cadet. Sent fortraining to several bases in the West,he went on to y more than 40 combatmissions in B-24 bombers.

Leo Redmond, curator of the CayceHistorical Museum, recalls his fathersstories on serving as a civilian reman onbase. All the remen were on call 24 hoursa day. They took turns cooking for theentire crew. The remen looked forward tomy dads turn because he was the best cook.His specialty was steak and gravy.

Harold Jones, who now operates abusiness situated on former air baseproperty, grew up on Frink Street near theCayce railroad tracks that conveyed suppliesand equipment to the base. Jones and his

young buddies picked up coal that rumbledoff the train cars and took it home to helpkeep their families warm in winter.

Bobby Douglas father, an electricianon construction jobs before the war,oversaw a work detail comprised ofGerman POWs held on the base. Hetook them around the area to do various

jobs and took them back at the end ofeach workday. The prison camp wasbehind the site of Airport High School.

The base closed soon after WWIIended. Today the base site is home ofColumbia Metropolitan Airport.
