Buy LoCaL - Be LoCaL heLp LoCaL Businesses
1. Buy LoCaL -- Support yourself and Mt. Pleasant. Manystudies have revealed when you buy from an independent, locally
owned business in the your own area, rather than a nationally owned
businesses, considerably more of your money is used to make
purchases from other local businesses. Local businesses continue to
strengthen the economic base of the local community. These include
case studies showing that local local owned businesses generate a
premium in enhanced economic impact to the community and our tax
base.
2.support LoCaL area Community Groups:Non-prot organizations receive an average 250% more support from
smaller Mt. Pleasant area business owners than they do from large
companies.
3. keep your area unique: Where we shop, where we eat andhave fun -- all of it makes our community home. Our one-of-a-kind local
businesses are an integral part of the distinctive character. Local tourism
businesses also benet. When people go on vacation they generally
seek out destinations that offer them the sense of being someplace, not
just anyplace. ~ Richard Moe, President, National Historic Preservation
Trust.
4. reduCe environmentaL impaCt: Locally owned businessesin your area can make more local purchases requiring less
transportation. This generally means contributing less to sprawl,congestion, habitat loss and pollution.
5. Create additionaL JoBs: Small local businesses are thelargest employer nationally and in the community, provide the most jobs
to local residents.
6. reCeive Better serviCe: Local businesses often hire peoplewith a better understanding of the products and services they offer, and
take more time to get to know customers.

7.investin your Community: Localbusinesses are owned by people who live
in this community, and they are less likely to
leave, and are more invested in the commu-
nitys future.
8. putyour taXesto Good use:
Local businesses require a relatively littleinfrastructure investment and make more
efcient use of public services as compared to
nationally owned stores entering your area.
9. Buy whatyou want, not what
BiG advertisinG BudGets wantyou
to Buy: A South Carolina marketplacecomprised of tens of thousands of small
businesses is the best way to ensure
innovation and low prices over the long-term.
A multitude of small businesses, each selecting
products and services based not on a national
sales plan but on their own interests and the
needs of their local customers, promises a
much broader range of product choices.
10. promote LoCaL prosperity: Anescalating body of economic research shows
that in an increasingly homogenized world,
entrepreneurs and skilled workers are more
likely to invest and settle in communities that
preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and
distinctive character.

spotLiGhtonroBertsoFCharLestonCharleston is a city renewed
for its beauty, its history, itsSouthern hospitality, its culture,its annual Spoleto Festival ofmusic and theater, its luxuryaccommodation, and its nedining. In a petite buildingtucked back away on one ofthe its main streets, Roberts ofCharleston supplies a uniqueblend of haute cuisine andmusic: piano music duringdinner, and songs by host RobertDickenson, who entertainsbetween courses and whilehis guest enjoy disserts. AnEvening at Roberts is not just asumptuous feast but an event,suitable for celebrating importantoccasions. At the end of a
jewel box of a room, betweenthe diners and the kitchens,stands a large reproduction ofBotticellis Venus rising from the
sea, a reminder that Robertsis not just a restaurant but anestablishment devoted to art --the art of ne dining and the artof ne music.
Robert himself is trained toprovide both. After studying atthe Culinary Institute of America,when it was located in NewHaven, he pursued an early loveby going to London to study
opera. When he returned, hefaced a dry period in the hiringof opera singers, and he had afamily to support. By the timean invitation arrived to join thecompany of the New York CityOpera, he was committed tothe restaurant he had started.Today Roberts is a family affair,his daughter MariElena also aCIA trained chef, her husbandJoseph Raya manager of the
house.
Roberts offers one sitting a nightwith a xed menu of multipleappetizers and dessert, anda choice among three maincourses. On the night we were
there, we dined on pate maision,a sea scallop mousse, and asavory pear and goat cheeseturnover. We chose the duckrather than sh or beef, endingwith a cake lled with fruit andcovered with a bourbon caramelsauce. All the while, red andwhite wines owed freely.During the leisurely repast,Robert came on stage threetimes, his high lyric baritone
lling the room with a variety ofoperatic and show tunes, somepopular Italian songs, and amedley from My Fair Lady. Thiswas not background music, but ashow, and the smiles of Robertsguest revealed their pleasure.
One afternoon on our visit toCharleston we walked along itsmain shopping street, stoppingat a store with a sign exhorting
passers=by to keep alive the artof live music. Alas, whateverperforming venue had existedthere was now permanentlyclosed. Charleston offers livemusic, not only during theSpoleteo Festival, but in manyrestaurants from which a hybridof jazz, pop, and rock wafts outon the streets. For those wholove cabaret however, Roberts isthe place to go.

marketFirst make sure that the areayou have chosen is right for yourintended business. If you planon expanding, take that intoconsideration. Do you need to beclose to an expressway, or thelocal airport? Before you decide,think ahead, because you maybe getting into a long termcommitment.
Make sure that any space youreconsidering is big enough forboth your current needs, andyour foreseeable growth. Berealistic and never over-commit.
Do your homework beforehand.Investigate trafc patterns; tourthe area and building. Find outwho the previous tenant was,
and why the business left. Learn
what kinds of marketing thelocation does in support of itstenants (if any) and whether co-operative marketing funds areavailable to you.
Weigh the benets of guaranteed
foot trafc at a mall locationagainst premium rent. Somemalls require that all tenantsstay open during mall hours, andpay for common area usage aswell as the stores own spaceand upkeep. Stores may alsobe asked to pay a percentage ofsales to the mall.
Identify your closest competitors.Also check out neighboring
businesses with an eye forcomplementary products orservices. If you are locating in amall, check the lease agreementfor any guaranteed protectionagainst competition.
Evaluate whether the physicallocation and space is a good twith your product line. Do youneed a large, bright space or isan ofce warehouse sufcient?
Investigate any restrictionson signage. Signs are vitallyimportant to retail businesses,yet many landlords decide onwhat a store can and cannot do.The rules may be even stricter ina mall, which closely monitors its
physical appearance.
Negotiate the terms of yourlease aggressively. Thinkabout consulting a realtor thatis familiar with the area. Neveraccept wording thats confusingor that leaves you wonderingwho is liable for what. Askfor the right of rst refusal onadjacent space in case you needto expand. Negotiate for free
improvements, free rent, andother incentives before signingyour lease.
Hire a real estate attorney whonot only specializes in leasenegotiations, but knows yourarea and, preferably, has dealtwith your kind of businessbefore. A lease negotiation cancover tens, if not hundreds, ofterms, and you want someone in
your corner who has seen it allbefore.
Know who is responsiblefor maintaining the heating,air-conditioning and othersystems, as well as keepingup the parking lot and buildingexterior. This can be critical inolder buildings. Who pays for theutilities and trash pick-up?
The time has probably neverbeen better to start a newventure if you have a businessthat is not being adverselyaffected by this economy. Justmake sure you get the rightlocation

CanyouFindthe GorGet?The South Carolina State agis immediately recognizable
to native Carolinians, and ifyoure spending some timeout-of-State, it will probablybring a tear to your eye to see itwhizzing by on a bumper stickeror rippling in the soft blue skyof a native license plate. Mostfolks, however, consistentlyconfuse our ag for a simplerepresentation of a moonlit palmtree. The truth it, the sliver ofcrescent suspended in the upperleft hand corner is not a moonphase: its a piece of ornamentalarmour known as a gorget.
A holdover from the days ofknights in shining armour, thegorget was originally used toprotect the throat and blockblows from non-projectileweapons such as swords. Sincethe gorget originally rested
around the throat, the shapewas that of a crescent. In formalarmour, the gorget was placedbeneath the breastplate andbackplate set and supportedthe weight of the armour. They
were often equipped withstraps in order to attach someof the heavier armours. By theRenaissance, the gorgets hadalready achieved an ornamentalstatus and by the AmericanRevolution, it could be seenhanging from delicate chains andribbons around the throats ofofcers, signifying their rank.
The rst South Carolina ag,
designed in 1765, displayed thedark blue of the American troopsuniforms and a large crescentwith the word Liberty writtenwithin it. While most historiansagree that the crescent is therepresentation of the gorget,which was also worn as asymbol on the caps of Americansoldiers, there is some argumentthat the symbol could also stand
for the river bend on whichCharleston sits (the crescentwas a common symbol used byearly American settlements whentheir Town rested on the curveof a river), or it was a borrowed
symbol from the crest of the Bullfamily, one of Charlestons earlysettlers.
The palmetto tree on todaysag was not included untilJanuary 28, 1861, the day ofSouth Carolinas secessionfrom the Union. The palmettotree represents the defense ofFort Moultrie from British attack,as the Fort itself was made of
palmetto logs: an unexpectedlybrilliant construction, as thelogs of the palmetto tree areincredibly resilient and absorbedthe enemy cannon re like asponge.
Either way we have a pretty coolstate ag, and gorget is hard topronounce!

howtomakeGritsBy now, you should know that grits are not only the starch ofchoice in South Carolina, its also the acronym for Girls Raisedin the South; so if you dont have your recipe down by now, itstime to get boiling.
Proper grits do not come in an easy to open, plastic-lined paperpacket. As My Cousin Vinny put it, Real grits take at least20 minutes to cook. In fact, they take a couple hours, but itsworth every simmering second.
So get rid of the Quaker Instant Grits and mosey on down to therice isle. Grits can usually be found either here or in thebaking isle. If youre lucky enough to live near a locallyproduce market or farmers market, 99% of the time youll ndmore than enough grits in stock. Some local favorites includeAnson Mills grits and Charlestons Favorite Stone Ground Grits.
Now that you have the dry goods, make sure you have somefresh chicken stock, milk, cream and butter. Oh yes, youremaking these the way God intended.
Measure out your dry grits (1 cup of dry grits makes roughly 2servings) and clean them by placing them in a bowl andlling the bowl with water until the water is an inch or so above
the grits. Skim off the chaff and drain.Dont worry, it doesnt have to be com-pletely dry, just get it as close as pos-sible. Now, dump the wet grits into apot and pour in twice as much chickenstock as grits. Bring this to a boil, thenreduce to medium-low. Now add equal
portions cream and milk up to 2 and times the amount of grits. So, if I wasmaking this recipe for two, I would haveused 1 cup dry grits, 2 cups chickenstock, 1 cups cream and 1 cupsmilk. Add salt and pepper to taste, thensit back and let it simmer. The lon-ger the grits simmer, the richer theyllbe. Typical time is 20-30 minutes, butsome of the best grits sit for an hour totwo hours at low to medium-low heat,
just soaking up that cream and milk.
Right before you serve the grits up, stirin a healthy pat of butter and, if yourefeeling a little wild, grate a handful ofparmesan or cheddar cheese over thetop.
Play with and perfect this dish to yourliking. The recipe is purposefully simplefor the sole reason that its up to eachsouthern girl to come up with her ownspecial twist on thisSouthern Classic.

As a lady of the Carolinas,small shows of simple grace
and etiquette should become assecond nature to you. Now, thisisnt saying that you have to runout immediately and havevisiting cards printed, or go buya sterling silver tea set, buthaving knowledge of little thingslike place settings means a lot tolocals and ultimately, shows thatyou truly care for and respectthe civility which is the heart ofSouth Carolina.
Even at an informal dinner, its agood idea to create acenterpiece. This can be aweek-long labor of love or, inmost cases, a small settingthrown together about veminutes before the guests
arrive. A few snippings from thejuniper tree for frilly greenery
and aromatic scent, a handful ofowers arranged in a low bowl orsmall vase, a couplestrategically placed pieces offruit and a candle or two and
your centerpiece is complete. Abouquet of owers from the localorist or, better yet, a nearbyfarm, would also work, but nomatter what, the point is that youhave one. Another little pointer:dont make the centerpiece tallerthan eye level. Guests wouldlike to be able to see each otherwhen they speak and it couldmess up a lovely arrangement ifyoure having to part the
sunowers every time you wantto ask a question.
As for your silverware, if youhave sterling silver, use it. Even,and especially, if its your greatgrandmothers set thats beenpassed down for generations.
She never intended for you tokeep it wrapped up in crumblingbags of velvet. Silverware andformal china, however pretty andexpensive, were meant to beused and this is a great time toshow them off. Even if you dont
have formal silverware, though,the point is to have the placesettings properly arranged andin the end, no one will really carewhat the silverware looked likeas long as theres plenty of foodand wine.
With the dinner plate as thecenter, silverware should beplaced in line, an inch from theedge of the table, and arranged
from the outside in, in orderof use. On the right, salad fork(smaller fork), appetizer utensil(or another small fork or none atall if you arent having anappetizer between salad, soupand dinner), then dinner fork(your biggest fork) closest to the

plate. On the left, soup spoon,spreading knife for the bread and the dinnerknife closest to the plate. Be sure to turnthe blade of the knives toward the plate, asan outwardly turned knife is a symbol of ag-gression toward the other diners (dont youlove these quaint little old world
idiosyncrasies?). The dessert fork andspoon for after dinner tea or coffee shouldgo across the top of the dinner plate, withthe tines of the fork facing right and thebowl of the spoon facing left. Napkinsshould be folded either as simply or or-nately as you like, and placed in the centerof the dinner plate. Glasses are also placedan inch above the knives and in order ofusestarting from the far right: white wine, redwine, dessert wine and water tumbler. Din-
ner should be served from the kitchen andideally, placed on each diners plate by theserver/host instead of passing bowls anddishes around.
If it is Thanksgiving atGrandmas, none of the above applies.

Bunker shotperFeCtion:BLast your
waytoaBetter GoLFsCore
Bunker shots can be dauntingbut its really all in your head!Use these simple techniques thenext time youre in the bunkerand blast your way to a better
score.
Golf ScoreFirst, dont changeyour swing. Use the loft ofthe club and your back swingto determine your distance.Of course this will take somepractice so you know how toshorten your backswing to getthe distance you need. You useyour back swing to adjust yourdistance because you always
want to accelerate throughthe ball. You never want to theclub head to decelerate. Alsoopen the club face if needed todecrease the distance the ballwill travel.
Use the bounce on the club tolaunch the ball out of the sand.Dont worry too much about thedenition of bounce but try thisthe next time in the practice sandtrap. Take your sand wedgeand swing at the sand. Vary the
angle the club hits the sand.When you bring the club downsteeply youll take a lot of sandand leave a large divot in thesand. Decrease the angle thatyou strike the sand until youcan feel the club almost bounceoff the sand. Feeling that ismore important than the actualdenition of bounce. The key isto have this bounce feel whenhitting the ball out of the sand.
Open the club face and aimslightly right with an open stancewith the ball forward in yourstance, slightly off of your leftheel for right handed golfers.When you swing follow the lineof your feet.
Keep the weight on your left footand dont try to lift the ball, let theclub do the work; trust me the
club will lift the ball.
Hit about 1 inch behind the ball.The key is to get sand betweenthe club face and the ball. This iswhere that bounce comes in toplay.
Also, expect more roll on the ballwhen faced with a down hill liein the bunker because the ballwont get as much spin and tend
to roll quite a bit.
Use and practice thesetechniques to get yourself offthe beach and onto the green.For more helpful tips, advice,or to add some Golf Tips andSuggestions of your own - youare invited to visit the SouthCarolina Golfers Blog at

But in addition to these benets,considerable research indicatesthat strong and cohesiveneighborhoods andcommunities are linked quitepossibly causally linked to

timetoreFinanCeorBuy !?Right now, mortgage rates are
at their lowest level since 1971.Think about that. Twenty-veyears ago, homeowners werepaying as much as 18% on a30-year xed. Today its justa little over 5%.Combine that
rate with the tax advantages ofa mortgage, and you have anincredibly cheap way to buildwealth, but you better act now.
Real estate guru BarbaraCorcoran has already seen a
tremendous surge in renanceapplications more than triplethe average and the numberof people getting approved isastronomically higher as well,she says. But that doesnt meanthe low rates are a panacea forthe ills of the housing market. Itis only once home prices startto go up that we will nally seea light at the end of tunnel,Corcoran says. Until that
happens, we are still going tohave to crawl out of this mess.[Low interest rates are] a not alifesaver, Corcoran says. Thisis just a helping hand.
David Kittle, chairman of theMortgage Bankers Association,has this advice to homeownerslooking to renance: Do it. Dontget greedy searching for anotherquarter-point. Lock in ratesnow. He is seeing applications
soar over 125% just sinceThanksgiving due to the lowrates.
Of course, you should onlyrenance if it saves you at least3/8 on the rate and if you plan onstaying in your home for at leastfour years, Kittle says. Alongwith good credit, proof of incomeand money by means of a downpayment or equity in the home,

couple is still involved. Weddingdirectors take care of the entirewedding event, which affords thecouple getting married to onlyfocus on getting married.Wedding directors sometimesusually attend the wedding to
make sure the day goes exactlyas planned. If it rains on the dayof an outdoor wedding, thewedding director will have analternate plan already in place.
Wedding planners,specically, perform a variety oftasks. They make appointmentswith clients and vendors,provide gown options, providewedding theme options, and
plan for the unforeseen amongother things. The business sideof wedding planning involvesstaying within your budget, andmaking sure the vendors getpaid. Wedding planners whohandle all aspects of the eventare mostly self-employedworking both part-time andfull-time. However, specialevent centers, wineries, hotels,and other hospitality facilitiesalso offer employmentopportunities.
Wedding planners must alsowrite contracts and be efcientmarketers of their business. Thebest wedding planner in SouthCarolina must get their nameknown, and can only handle acertain amount of weddings inany given time.
An event planner does thesame basic tasks as thewedding planner, but the eventwill dictate what is different. Abig corporate event may requireseveral sound and videosystems. A golf tournament mayrequire many sponsors beingadequately recognized.Whatever the event, havingalternative plans when things go
not as planned is the mark of agood planner. This means thatyou must have a long list ofsuppliers and people in theservice industries that canstand in when problems arise.

There are no federal, state, orlocal laws requiring wedding orevent planners to haveanything other than a businesslicense. Very fewcolleges/universities offerdegrees or certicates inwedding and planning. Onlineschools offer training; however,carefully research the onlineschool prior to paying any feesor signing up for classes. Thebest schooling is the College
of OJT ( On the Job Training).Working for a wedding or eventplanner and learning from theground up is the only way totruly learn the business.Certication is increasinglybecoming sought after because
clients want to make sure theirspecial day is handled by aprofessional.

aBout mt. pLeasantOriginally occupied by the Sewee Indians, Mount Pleasantsrst white settlers arrived from England on July 6, 1680under the leadership of Captain Florentia OSullivan. CaptainOSullivan had been granted 2,340 acres which included not
only the island that bears his name, but also the land that wasto become Mount Pleasant. On the earliest map of the timethis area was called North Point.
In 1696, 51 new settlers arrived. Each family was allottedseveral hundred acres in the area that became known asChrist Church parish. In 1706 the Province of Carolinawithstood several attacks by the Spanish and the French andwere victorious in defeating French invaders in an area knownas Hobcow Plantation.
Hobcaw Plantation, located between Shem Creek and the
Wando River. Later, it was also known as ShipyardPlantation because its deep water and abundance of goodtimber made it ideal for a shipbuilding.
On September 24, 1860 a public meetingwas held in Mount Pleasant thatproduced the rst secession resolutionof the state. With the advent of the CivilWar, Battery Gary and an adjacentoating battery between Mount Pleasantand Sullivans Island were instrumental in
defense of the town, as well as attacks onFort Sumter. The town was also defendedby a line of fortications from ElliotsCreek at Boone Hall to Copahee Sound.Mount Pleasant was also the secrettraining ground for the nine-man crew ofthe Confederate submarine H. L. Hunley.It was from Breach Inlet in 1864 that thissmall vessel was launched to attack andsink the USS Housatonic.
Mount Pleasant is separated from
Charleston by the Cooper River. Formany years it was primarily populatedseasonally by Charleston residentswealthy enough to afford summer homesacross the river from the Charlestonpeninsula. The population of MountPleasant was centered in an area of thetown now known as The Old Village.
On July 16, 2005, the eight-lane ArthurRavenel Bridge opened for trafc,replacing the two aging bridges. A weekbefore the new bridge, one of the longestcable-stayed bridges in the westernhemisphere, ofcially opened,pedestrians were allowed to cross thebridge, and commemorative coins weredistributed. Also, a reworks display wasa part of the ceremonies leading up to theactual opening of the bridge. Several carsfrom the same time period as the GraceMemorial Bridge, including severalrestored Model A Fords, made a nal
crossing of the old bridges. Theremaining portions of the old bridgeswere demolished. Local residentswatched as the bridges were blown up inspectacular shows.
