1. Buy LoCaL -- Support yourself and the Oakbrook Community.Many studies have revealed when you buy from an independent, locally
owned business in the Summerville area, rather than a nationally ownedbusinesses, considerably more of your money is used to make
purchases from other local businesses. Oakbrook businesses
continue to strengthen the economic base of the Summerville
community. These include case studies showing that Summerville
owned businesses generate a premium in enhanced economic impact to
the community and our tax base.

Our one-of-a-kind Oakbrook businesses are an integral part of the
distinctive character of Summerville. Summerville tourism businesses

destinations that offer them the sense of being someplace, not just
anyplace. ~ Richard Moe, President, National Historic Preservation
Trust.

7.investinthe oakBrook
Community: Local Oakbrook businesses areowned by people who live in this community,
and they are less likely to leave, and are more
invested in the communitys future.
8. putyour taxesto Good use:
Oakbrook businesses require a relatively littleinfrastructure investment and make more ef-
cient use of public services as compared to
nationally owned stores entering Oakbrook.
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

their local customers, promises a much broader
range of product choices.

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 breadand the dinner knife closest tothe plate. Be sure to turn theblade of the knives toward theplate, as an outwardly turnedknife is a symbol of aggression
toward the other diners (dontyou love these quaint little oldworldidiosyncrasies?). The dessertfork and spoon for after dinnertea or coffee should go acrossthe top of the dinner plate, withthe tines of the fork facing rightand the bowl of the spoon facingleft. Napkins should be folded ei-ther as simply or ornately as youlike, and placed in the center of
the dinner plate. Glasses arealso placed an inch above theknives and in order of usestarting from the far right: whitewine, red wine, dessert wine andwater tumbler. Dinner shouldbe served from the kitchen andideally, placed on each dinersplate by the server/host insteadof passing bowls and dishesaround.
If it is Thanksgiving atGrandmas, none of the aboveapplies.

Grits
By now, you should know thatgrits are not only the starch of
choice in South Carolina, its alsothe acronym for Girls Raised inthe South; so if you dont haveyour recipe down by now, itstime to get boiling.
Proper grits do not come in aneasy to open, plastic-lined paperpacket. As My Cousin Vinny putit, Real grits take at least 20minutes to cook. In fact, theytake a couple hours, but its
worth every simmering second.So get rid of the Quaker InstantGrits and mosey on down to therice isle. Grits can usually befound either here or in thebaking isle. If youre luckyenough to live near a locallyproduce market or farmersmarket, 99% of the time youllnd more than enough gritsin stock. Some local favoritesinclude Anson Mills grits and
Charlestons Favorite StoneGround Grits.
Now that you have the drygoods, make sure you havesome fresh chicken stock, milk,cream and butter. Oh yes, youre
making these the way Godintended.
Measure out your dry grits (1cup of dry grits makes roughly2 servings) and clean them byplacing them in a bowl andlling the bowl with water untilthe water is an inch or so abovethe grits. Skim off the chaff anddrain. Dont worry, it doesnt haveto be completely dry, just get it
as close as possible. Now, dumpthe wet grits into a pot and pourin twice as much chicken stockas grits. Bring this to a boil, thenreduce to medium-low. Now addequal portions cream and milkup to 2 and times the amountof grits. So, if I was making thisrecipe for two, I would have used1 cup dry grits, 2 cups chickenstock, 1 cups cream and 1

cups milk. Add salt and pepper totaste, then sit back and let itsimmer. The longer the gritssimmer, the richer theyll be.Typical time is 20-30 minutes,but some of the best grits sit foran hour to two hours at low to
medium-low heat, just soakingup that cream and milk. Rightbefore you serve the grits up, stirin a healthy pat of butter and, ifyoure feeling a little wild, grate ahandful of parmesan or cheddarcheese over the top.
Play with and perfect this dishto your liking. The recipe ispurposefully simple for the solereason that its up to each
southern girl to come up with herown special twist on thisSouthern Classic.

CanyouFindthe GorGet?The South Carolina State agis immediately recognizableto 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 palm
tree. 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. Since
the gorget originally restedaround the throat, the shapewas that of a crescent. In formalarmour, the gorget was placedbeneath the breastplate and
backplate set and supportedthe weight of the armour. Theywere 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 argument
that the symbol could also standfor the river bend on whichCharleston sits (the crescentwas a common symbol used byearly American settlements when
their Town rested on the curveof a river), or it was a borrowedsymbol 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 of
Fort Moultrie from British attack,as the Fort itself was made ofpalmetto 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!

neiGhBorhoods1. Neighborhoods are where we all grewup a long time ago. Today, because ofgolf courses, shopping areas,subdivisions, jobs, schools, and a
transient society, a neighborhood meansdifferent things to different folks.
2. Neighborhoods can be as small as adozen or so houses, and be as many asthousands of homes.
3. Neighborhoods are common, andperhaps close to universal, since mostpeople in urbanized areas wouldprobably consider themselves to be livingin one.
4. Neighborhoods are convenient, andalways accessible, since you are alreadyin your neighborhood when you walk outyour door.
5. Successful neighborhood actionfrequently requires little specializedtechnical skill, and often little or nomoney. Action may call for an investmentof time, but material costs are often low.

6. With neighborhood action, compared toactivity on larger scales, results are morelikely to be visible and quicklyforthcoming. The streets are generallycleaner; the crosswalks are painted; thetrees are planted; a festival draws a crowd.
7. Visible and swift results are indicators ofsuccess; and since success is reinforcing,the probability of subsequent neighborhoodaction is increased.
8. Because neighborhood action usuallyinvolves others, such actions create orstrengthen connections and relationshipswith other neighbors, leading in turn to avariety of potentially positive effects, oftenhard to predict.
9. Over and above these communityadvantages, neighborhood activity maysimply be enjoyable and fun for thosetaking part.
But in addition to these benets,considerable research indicates that strongand cohesive neighborhoods andcommunities are linked quite possiblycausally linked to decreases in crime,better outcomes for children, and improvedphysical and mental health. The socialsupport that a strong neighborhood mayprovide can serve as a buffer againstvarious forms of adversity. Sometimes aneighborhood isnt a neighborhood until anevent occurs, which draws people together,to become neighbors.

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,
there are certain things everyhomeowner needs regardless ofinterest rate levels.

Bunker shotperFeCtion:BLast your
Way
to
a
Better 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 through
the 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 to
launch 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 theangle 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 you
can 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 line
of your feet.
Keep the weight on your left footand dont try to lift the ball, let theclub do the work; trust me theclub 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 tendto roll quite a bit.
Use and practice these
techniques 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

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
