Event begins with a women’s only shoot, followed by a two-day tournament in Green Pond
CHARLESTON, S.C. — Lowcountry Land
Trust is bringing back its annual charity Sporting Clays Shoot and this year’s
event is the biggest one yet. The three-day event kicks off with its first
Women’s Shoot followed by two days of sporting clays open to the public. This
year’s event is at White House Plantation, a private property protected under
conservation easement in Green Pond, S.C.
The Women’s Shoot on Friday, March 27
is an invitation-only event hosting 48 shooters. Following the women’s shoot on
the 12-trap clays course, participants will enjoy lunch and a curated
“shop and shoot” experience with a select group of vendors, including
Grady Ervin, Peggy Watkins Sport and Wildlife Art, Norton + Hodges, Brackish,
Holland & Holland, Hallie P. Seibels Fine Portraiture, Margerite and Motte,
Caesar Guerini, Krieghoff, Syren, Carolina Millinery Company, and Fieldshop by
Garden & Gun.
On Saturday, March 28, and Sunday,
March 29, experienced and novice shooters are invited to the ticketed two-day
Sporting Clays Shoot presented by Anderson Insurance Associates and PURE
Insurance. Guests will shoot a professionally set clays course designed to
highlight the host property’s scenic location in the ACE Basin along the
Ashepoo River.
Tickets are $175 each and include a morning or afternoon shoot on either Saturday or Sunday, plus a whole-hog barbecue by Jimmy Fitts, post-shoot refreshments and beverages, including Blade and Bow Bourbon, and a curated shopping experience. For non-shooters, a separate lunch ticket is available for $45. Space is limited and this event is expected to sell out. Purchase tickets at www.lowcountrylandtrust.org. The event is rain or shine.
White House Plantation is owned by
Bill and Linda Demmer. Linda Demmer, an avid shooter herself, has a
long-standing interest in historical preservation, conservation and
restoration. She is currently restoring and creating habitats for migratory
birds, turkey, quail and deer at the 1900-acre White House Plantation, which
includes nearly 450 acres protected under a conservation easement.
“We are thrilled to host Lowcountry
Land Trust’s annual charity sporting clays shoot at White House to highlight
the importance of conservation in the ACE Basin and to support the growing
sporting clays shooting community in the Lowcountry,” Linda Demmer said.
In working with the Demmers to
organize the sporting clays shoot, the staff at Lowcountry Land Trust realized
how many women are interested in sporting clays. The growing popularity of the
sport among women led to the creation of a women’s only event to kick off the
weekend tournament. Charleston even has its own chapter of the Annie Oakley’s,
the Charleston Annies, who gather at the Kiawah Island Club Sporting
Club.
“We’re excited to expand this
popular fundraising event for Lowcountry Land Trust. It allows us to celebrate
the talents of local women clay shooters, highlight a magnificent, protected
property and raise funds that will help us conserve even more critical land in
our state,” said Ashley Demosthenes, president & CEO of Lowcountry Land
Trust.
Lowcountry Land Trust has protected
more than 147,000 acres of land across 17 South Carolina counties, including
14.4 miles along the Ashepoo River. In 2019, the Land Trust was involved in the
protection of Boone Hall Plantation in Mount Pleasant, Big Snooks in the
Savannah River watershed and two properties in the ACE Basin.

Trust is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with the mission to honor the

Launch event scheduled for Feb. 20 in Mount Pleasant
CHARLESTON, S.C. — A new

Andy Brusman, chairman of Charleston
Deal Alliance and CEO of investment bank Charles Towne Holdings LLC, said he
realized Charleston has been experiencing tremendous growth and has attracted a
large number of deal professionals. Yet, until now, there wasn’t a single place
where those in the dealmaking community could meet and share resources and
information.
“Charleston is emerging as a
financial hub, which means we need to highlight the incredible deal talent that
resides here in the Charleston region,” Brusman said. “We are excited
to bring all of this under Charleston Deal Alliance and host several events in
2020.”
In addition to Brusman, 11 others

Not only are members excited to make
connections locally, they are eager for those outside the Charleston region to
see what a vibrant community this is.
“We want Charleston mentioned
along with cities like Charlotte, Nashville and Richmond as places to do deals
and find investment opportunities,” Brusman said. “We believe an
organization like Charleston Deal Alliance will bring attention to our
community and the many business opportunities that exist in our local
market.”
Brusman along with Herbert Drayton
and Alex Chalmers will be part of a panel discussion on the state of dealmaking
in the Charleston region at Thursday’s launch event. Founding board member Bob
Kosian will moderate.

closely with Charleston Regional Development Alliance in the creation of this
new organization. CRDA signed as the initial sponsor providing the needed seed
money to launch the organization and showcase the deals being done in
Charleston.
“Charleston Regional Development
Alliance’s mission is to build long-term economic prosperity by attracting the
world’s best companies, talent and entrepreneurs. Providing connections to
financing opportunities and to service providers with the expertise to put
deals together furthers that goal, which is why CRDA supports Charleston Deal
Alliance,” said Mike Graney, VP, Global Business Development. “The
amount and diversity of deal professionals in Charleston may not be widely
known yet, but it’s about to be.”

residents of Charleston, Berkeley and Dorchester counties; $350 for others.

WILMINGTON, N.C., Feb. 17, 2020,/PRNewswire/ — Wes Carter, President of Atlantic Corporation of Wilmington, has announced the acquisition of Coastal Corrugated, a 35-year-old family-owned box company located in North Charleston, SC.
“We are excited about the opportunities this
move brings to our already diverse company,” said Carter this week, following
Atlantic’s annual meeting. “Coastal’s products are consistent with our
marketplace focus, especially as it broadens our value proposition to the
evolving automotive market. We have looked at corrugated sheet plants before as
they are very allied to our converted products offering. This one seemed the
right one at the right time.”
Atlantic Corporation, a top tier private company in North Carolina, is a
diverse packaging and equipment distributor to consumer products manufacturers
throughout North America, the Caribbean, and Central America. The company
operates 18 regional facilities east to west as Atlantic Packaging.
Coastal Corrugated manufactures large format corrugated boxes for various manufacturing segments. They further manufacture custom protective packaging components for the automotive industry and its tier-one suppliers.
“South Carolina has invested heavily in
recruiting automotive manufacturers to the state and our company is
increasingly aligned as a premier partner to these facilities,” says Carter.
“Coastal’s ability to design and fabricate protective packaging solutions right
here in the low country brings great value and sensible logistics. The North
Charleston location connects with our newly opened Packaging Solution Center in
Charlotte and the logistics of our existing ten facilities across the Carolinas
and Georgia,” he added.
Atlantic is a 70-year-old company headquartered
in Wilmington, NC.
About Atlantic Packaging: Atlantic Packaging was founded in 1946 by Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist, W. Horace Carter, and continues to be family-owned and operated. Atlantic serves the unique needs of consumer products manufacturers and offers expertise in packaging equipment and integration as well as high-performance materials for stretch, shrink, strapping, labeling systems, tapes and adhesives, and protective packaging.
Quality Carriers Inc, a leading North American bulk chemical carrier, has
expanded into the Charleston SC market in partnership with its sister company
Boasso America Corporation.
“Consistent with our previously mentioned strategy to expand our footprint, we are excited to announce our expansion into the Charleston market,” says Randy Strutz, President, Quality Carriers. “When one of our major customers asked us for a solution in this market, we responded by leveraging our existing Boasso intermodal terminal.
Scott Giroir, president of Boasso, adds: “Since we already have a
terminal presence in Charleston, it made sense to expand our service offering
into the domestic chemical market to support our sister company’s customers.
This allows us to grow our Charleston terminal, while still servicing our
traditional ISO tank customers.”
Gary Enzor, chairman and chief executive officer of parent company
Quality Distribution Inc, says: “Going forward we will continue to look
for opportunities to leverage the best in class service offerings and strategic
market positions of Quality Carriers, Boasso, and QC Energy Resources to meet
the needs of customers across our family of companies.”
Chef Vivian Howard, who gained fame with her PBS series on opening a restaurant in rural North Carolina, is expanding her culinary acumen to the foodie city of Charleston, S.C.
Eater Charleston reports that Howard will open a “casual yet refined” restaurant named Lenoir at the city’s Renaissance Charleston Historic District Hotel.
She also plans to open a bakeshop, Hot + Handy, which will serve grab-and-go foods such as biscuits, hand pies, and sandwiches, per Eater.
Both are expected to open this summer.
Howard owns Chef & the Farmer and the Boiler Room in Kinston, North Carolina where she filmed her series, “A Chef’s Life.” A new series, “Somewhere South,” will premiere March 27 on PBS stations, featuring collaborations with other chefs, including Marcus Samuelsson.
Love is everything
Everything
Without it, we are invisible
Invisible to the sound of a morning rain
Invisible to the smile of a rose blossoming in Spain
Invisible to the sight of long slow kiss
In this life, there is so much we can miss
Love is enchanting like a warm summer breeze
A tingle, a wink, a sigh, a touch of a cool spring day
It is the reason we rise
The struggle to survive
The euphoria of time
The essence of rhyme
Love breathes
It protects
A blanket so safe
Report this ad
A song
A whisper
A kind eye
With the simplicity of words
Words spoken in the air
Linger, journey, invite you near
Take hold
Take flight
Find meaning
Stop thinking; just be
A disease infecting my very soul
Love is everything
Meant to be lost
To be found
Hold for a second
A risk
Take a picture
Keep it for all time
It will last forever
With the winds of change, I will be reminded of the smile that has stopped in time
With the strength of a thousand “I Love Yous”
I feel so alive now
So alive with you
You are the escape I have dreamed about
An imaginary world come true
Palmetto Scholars Academy teacher earns Milken
Educator Award for bringing history to life
Santa
Monica, Calif., (February
11, 2020) — The 2020 Oscars season may have ended, but the Milken Family
Foundation’s “Oscars of Teaching” celebrations are in full swing. Today’s stop
was North Charleston, South Carolina, where social studies teacher Leslie
Sullivan was surprised at Palmetto Scholars Academy with a $25,000 Milken
Educator Award that she can use however she wishes.
National
Institute for Excellence in Teaching CEO Dr. Candice McQueen and South Carolina
State Superintendent of Education Molly Spearman bestowed the honor upon
Sullivan before an all-school assembly of cheering students, colleagues, local
and state dignitaries, and the media.
Sullivan is
the only South Carolina recipient of the Award for the 2019-20 school year and
among up to 40 educators nationwide to receive the recognition this season.
Hailed by Teacher
magazine as the “Oscars of Teaching,” the Milken Educator Awards celebrate,
elevate and activate the American teaching profession and inspire young,
capable people to join it.
“Leslie Sullivan takes her students on historical journeys where they dig deeply into rich text, make connections between past and present, think and question, and discover more about themselves and their place in the world,” said Dr. McQueen. “We are proud to welcome her into the national Milken Educator Network and proud of her service to students in South Carolina’s public schools. We know she will write her own rich history of accomplishments for years to come.”
The Milken
Educator Award is not designated for lifetime achievement. Recipients are
heralded while early to mid-career for what they have achieved — and for the
promise of what they will accomplish given the resources and opportunities
inherent in the Award.
“Being
named a Milken Educator Award winner is one of the highest honors an educator
can receive,” said Superintendent Spearman. “Leslie’s passion for teaching and
her ability to engage students and deepen their understanding of history
uniquely qualify her for this prestigious honor. I want to thank the Milken
Family Foundation for the partnership we share in recognizing outstanding
educators like Leslie and look forward to future efforts to showcase and uplift
the teaching profession.”

About Leslie Sullivan
Innovation:
Leslie Sullivan is a master of content for her
honors and Advanced Placement (AP) classes, including U.S. history, government
and economics. In her class students recreate Revolutionary War battlefields
out of dough, participate in Socratic seminars, and engage in sophisticated
discussions of historical and current events, exploring political and cultural
dynamics. In one project, Sullivan asks students and parents to recall two
historical events that were significant in their lives, leading to meaningful
discussions and high engagement as the generations participate together in the
learning process. Sullivan designs every activity, from mock trial and writing
to researching primary sources, to foster inquiry-based learning, deepen
students’ understanding, connect history to the present, and encourage them to
think and question.
Dedication and Classroom Impact: Palmetto Scholars Academy is in its 10th year; Sullivan has been there for seven and has personally taught every member of the school’s first five graduating classes. She has served as a grade-level chair and leads the social studies department, as well as advising student government and senior capstone projects. Sullivan focuses on her students’ social-emotional learning and creates opportunities to get to know them so she can meet their needs. She helps her AP U.S. History students prepare for the AP exams before school and on weekends, with notable results: 73% of her students earn passing scores, compared with the state average of 57%. More than three-quarters of Palmetto’s graduates are enrolled in college or have earned degrees, and alumni say that Sullivan’s high expectations have helped them in their post-secondary studies.
Leadership
Beyond the Classroom Walls: A role model to her peers, Sullivan has mentored
new teachers, led professional development for Palmetto faculty and contributes
lesson plans to an online network for AP U.S. History teachers. Each summer she
attends intensive social studies courses, including sessions at Stanford
University and the Library of Congress. Sullivan has presented at national,
state and regional conferences about her work on National History Day (NHD), a
program she helped establish at Palmetto and has advised, judged and coached.
Sullivan has taken groups to the national finals in Washington, D.C., for the
past four years; in 2018, two of her students placed second in the country for
their documentary about the role The Coca-Cola Company played in Atlanta’s
civil rights movement.
Education: Sullivan earned a Bachelor of Arts in history in 2005 from Ohio
State University and a Master of Arts in Teaching in social studies from The
Citadel in 2011. She is working on a second master’s in history through the
Gilder Lehrman Institute and Pace University.
More About the Milken Educator Awards: “The future belongs to the
educated.”
The very first Milken Educator Awards were presented by the Milken Family
Foundation in 1987. The Awards, created by Lowell Milken, provide public
recognition and individual financial rewards of $25,000 to elementary and
secondary school teachers, principals and specialists from around the country
who are furthering excellence in education.
Along
with the $25,000 financial prize, recipients join the national Milken Educator
Network, a group of more than 2,800 top teachers, principals and specialists.
The network serves as a rich resource for fellow educators, legislators, school
boards and others dedicated to excellence in education.
The
2019-20 honorees will also attend an all-expenses-paid Milken Educator Forum in
Indianapolis March 26-28, 2020, where they will network with their new
colleagues and exchange ideas with state and federal leaders on the future of
education. In addition, the Milken Educator Awards’ “Why Not Us” program
will pair each 2019-2020 recipient with a veteran Milken Educator mentor to
explore and prepare for expanded leadership roles that strengthen education
practice and policy.
·
Over the years, more than $140 million in
funding, including $70 million for the individual cash awards, has been devoted
to the overall Milken Awards initiative, which includes powerful professional
development opportunities throughout recipients’ careers.
·
The Awards alternate yearly between
elementary and secondary educators; this season honors secondary school
teachers.
· Veteran Milken Educators frequently go on to leadership roles at state, national and international levels.
· Unlike most teacher recognition programs, the Milken Educator Awards has no formal nomination or application process. Candidates are sourced through a confidential selection process and then reviewed by blue ribbon panels in each state. Those most exceptional are recommended for the Award, with the final selection made by the Milken Family Foundation.
·
The cash award is unrestricted.
Recipients have used the money in diverse ways; for instance, on their
children’s or their own continuing education, financing dream field trips,
establishing scholarships, and even on the adoption of children.
