Buy Local
Promoting local business is as simple as having other company’s
business cards or brochures posted on a board in your store. In an
effort to promote your area, we are distributing decals that say “Check
us out at www.LittleRiver.sc,” in hopes that local shoppers will visit the
site to find local restaurants, clothing, specials, coupons and more. We
are doing our part, so please join us, and promote your local merchants,
and everyone will benefit!

Top Ten reasons to Think Local

Buy Local - Be Local – Help Local Businesses

1. Buy Local -- Support yourself and Little River. Many

studies 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-profit organizations receive an average 250% more support from
smaller Little River area business owners than they do from large
companies.

3. Keep Your Area Unique: Where we shop, where we eat and

have 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 benefit. “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 businesses

in 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 the

largest employer nationally and in the community, provide the most jobs
to local residents.

6. Receive Better Service: Local businesses often hire people

with a better understanding of the products and services they offer, and
take more time to get to know customers.

 7.Invest in Your Community: Local
businesses are owned by people who live
in this community, and they are less likely to
leave, and are more invested in the commu-
nity’s future.

8. Put your Taxes to Good Use:

Local businesses require a relatively little
infrastructure investment and make more ef-
ficient use of public services as compared to
nationally owned stores entering your area.

9. Buy What you Want, Not What

Big Advertising Budgets Want you
to Buy: A South Carolina marketplace
comprised of tens of thousands of small
businesses is the best way to ensure inno-
vation 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: An

escalating 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.

Bunker Shot
Perfection:
Blast Your
Way to a
Better Golf
Score
Bunker shots can be daunting
but it’s really all in your head!
Use these simple techniques the
next time you’re in the bunker
and blast your way to a better
score.
Golf ScoreFirst, don’t change
your swing. Use the loft of
the club and your back swing
to determine your distance.
Of course this will take some
practice so you know how to
shorten your backswing to get
the distance you need. You use
your back swing to adjust your
distance because you always
www.LittleRiver.sc Online Magazine | 2009 18
want to accelerate through
the ball. You never want to the
club head to decelerate. Also
open the club face if needed to
decrease the distance the ball
will travel.
Use the “bounce” on the club to
launch the ball out of the sand.
Don’t worry too much about the
definition of bounce but try this
the next time in the practice sand
trap. Take your sand wedge
and swing at the sand. Vary the
angle the club hits the sand.
When you bring the club down
steeply you’ll take a lot of sand
and leave a large “divot” in the
sand. Decrease the angle that
you strike the sand until you
can feel the club almost bounce
off the sand. Feeling that is
more important than the actual
definition of bounce. The key is
to have this bounce feel when
hitting the ball out of the sand.
Open the club face and aim
slightly right with an open stance
with the ball forward in your
stance, slightly off of your left
heel for right handed golfers.
When you swing follow the line
of your feet.

Keep the weight on your left foot

and don’t try to lift the ball, let the
club do the work; trust me the
club will lift the ball.

Hit about 1 inch behind the ball.

The key is to get sand between
the club face and the ball. This is
where that bounce comes in to
play.

Also, expect more roll on the ball

when faced with a down hill lie
in the bunker because the ball
won’t get as much spin and tend
to roll quite a bit.

Use and practice these

techniques to get yourself off
the beach and onto the green.

Commercial Real Estate
Renting in Today’s Market
First make sure that the area you have chosen is right
for your intended business. If you plan on expanding,
take that into consideration. Do you need to be close to
an expressway, or the local airport? Before you decide,
think ahead, because you may be getting into a long term
commitment.
Make sure that any space you’re considering is big enough
for both your current needs, and your foreseeable growth.
Be realistic and never over-commit.
Do your homework beforehand. Investigate traffic patterns;
tour the area and building. Find out who the previous
tenant was, and why the business left. Learn what kinds of
marketing the location does in support of its tenants (if any)
and whether co-operative marketing funds are available to
you.
Weigh the benefits of guaranteed foot traffic at a mall
www.LittleRiver.sc Online Magazine | 2009 35
location against premium rent. Some malls
require that all tenants stay open during
mall hours, and pay for common area
usage as well as the store’s own space and
upkeep. Stores may also be asked to pay a
percentage of sales to the mall.
Identify your closest competitors. Also
check out neighboring businesses with
an eye for complementary products or
services. If you are locating in a mall, check
the lease agreement for any guaranteed
protection against competition.
Evaluate whether the physical location and
space is a good fit with your product line.
Do you need a large, bright space or is an
office warehouse sufficient?
Investigate any restrictions on signage.
Signs are vitally important to retail
businesses, yet many landlords decide
on what a store can and cannot do. The
rules may be even stricter in a mall, which
closely monitors its physical appearance.
Negotiate the terms of your lease
aggressively. Think about consulting
a realtor that is familiar with the area.
Never accept wording that’s confusing or
that leaves you wondering who is liable
for what. Ask for the right of first refusal
on adjacent space in case you need to
expand. Negotiate for free improvements,
free rent, and other incentives before
signing your lease.
Hire a real estate attorney who not only
specializes in lease negotiations, but
knows your area and, preferably, has dealt
with your kind of business before. A lease
negotiation can cover tens, if not hundreds,
of terms, and you want someone in your
corner who has seen it all before.
Know who is responsible for maintaining
the heating, air-conditioning and other
systems, as well as keeping up the parking
lot and building exterior. This can be critical
in older buildings. Who pays for the utilities
and trash pick-up? The time has probably
never been better to start a new venture
if you have a business that is not being
adversely affected by this economy. Just
make sure you get the right location……

Time to
Refinance
or
Buy !?
Right now, mortgage rates are
at their lowest level since 1971.
Think about that. Twenty-five
years ago, homeowners were
paying as much as 18% on a
30-year fixed. Today it’s just
a little over 5%.Combine that
rate with the tax advantages of
a mortgage, and you have an
incredibly cheap way to build
wealth, but you better act now.
Real estate guru Barbara
Corcoran has already seen a
tremendous surge in refinance
applications – more than triple
the average – and the number
of people getting approved is
astronomically higher as well,
she says. But that doesn’t mean
the low rates are a panacea for
the ills of the housing market. It
is only once home prices start
to go up that we will finally see
a light at the end of tunnel,
Corcoran says. Until that
happens, we are still going to
have to crawl out of this mess.
“[Low interest rates are] a not a
lifesaver,” Corcoran says. “This
is just a helping hand.”
www.LittleRiver.sc Online Magazine | 2009 43
David Kittle, chairman of the
Mortgage Bankers Association,
has this advice to homeowners
looking to refinance: Do it. Don’t
get greedy searching for another
quarter-point. Lock in rates
now. He is seeing applications
soar over 125% just since
Thanksgiving due to the low
rates.
Of course, you should only
refinance if it saves you at least
3/8 on the rate and if you plan on
staying in your home for at least
four years, Kittle says. Along
with good credit, proof of income
and money by means of a down
payment or equity in the home,
there are certain things every
homeowner needs regardless of
interest rate levels.

Can you find
the gorget?
The South Carolina State flag
is immediately recognizable
to native Carolinians, and if
you’re spending some time
out-of-State, it will probably
bring a tear to your eye to see it
whizzing by on a bumper sticker
or rippling in the soft blue sky
of a native license plate. Most
folks, however, consistently
confuse our flag for a simple
representation of a moonlit palm
tree. The truth it, the sliver of
crescent suspended in the upper
left hand corner is not a moon
phase: it’s a piece of ornamental
armour known as a “gorget”.
A holdover from the days of
knights in shining armour, the
gorget was originally used to
protect the throat and block
blows from non-projectile
weapons such as swords. Since
the gorget originally rested
around the throat, the shape
was that of a crescent. In formal
armour, the gorget was placed
beneath the breastplate and
backplate set and supported
the weight of the armour. They
were often equipped with
straps in order to attach some
of the heavier armours. By the
Renaissance, the gorgets had
already achieved an ornamental
status and by the American
Revolution, it could be seen
hanging from delicate chains and
ribbons around the throats of
officers, signifying their rank.
The first South Carolina flag,
designed in 1765, displayed the
dark blue of the American troops’
uniforms and a large crescent
with the word “Liberty” written
within it. While most historians
agree that the crescent is the
representation of the gorget,
which was also worn as a
symbol on the caps of American
soldiers, there is some argument
that the symbol could also stand
www.LittleRiver.sc Online Magazine | 2009 46
for the river bend on which
Charleston sits (the crescent
was a common symbol used by
early American settlements when
their Town rested on the curve
of a river), or it was a borrowed
symbol from the crest of the Bull
family, one of Charleston’s early
settlers.
The palmetto tree on today’s
flag was not included until
January 28, 1861, the day of
South Carolina’s secession
from the Union. The palmetto
tree represents the defense of
Fort Moultrie from British attack,
as the Fort itself was made of
palmetto logs: an unexpectedly
brilliant construction, as the
logs of the palmetto tree are
incredibly resilient and absorbed
the enemy cannon fire like a
sponge.
Either way we have a pretty cool
state flag, and gorget is hard to
pronounce!

How to make grits
By now, you should know that grits are not
only the starch of choice in South Caro-
lina, it’s also the acronym for “Girls Raised
in the South”; so if you don’t have your
recipe down by now, it’s time to get
boiling.
Proper grits do not come in an easy to
open, plastic-lined paper packet. As My
Cousin Vinny put it, “Real grits take at
least 20 minutes to cook”. In fact, they
take a couple hours, but it’s worth every
simmering second.So get rid of the
Quaker Instant Grits and mosey on down
to the rice isle. Grits can usually be found
either here or in the baking isle. If you’re
lucky enough to live near a local
produce market or farmer’s market, 99%
of the time you’ll find more than enough
grits in stock. Some local favorites include
Anson Mills grits and Charleston’s Favor-
ite Stone Ground Grits.
Now that you have the dry goods, make
sure you have some fresh chicken stock,
milk, cream and butter. Oh yes, you’re
making these the way God intended.
Measure out your dry grits (1 cup of dry
grits makes roughly 2 servings) and clean
them by placing them in a bowl and
filling the bowl with water until the water is an inch or so above
the grits. Skim off the chaff and drain. Don’t worry, it doesn’t
have to be completely dry, just get it as close as possible.
Now, dump the wet grits into a pot and pour in twice as much
chicken stock as grits. Bring this to a boil, then reduce to me-
dium-low. Now add equal portions cream and milk up to 2 and
½ times the amount of grits. So, if I was making this recipe
for two, I would have used 1 cup dry grits, 2 ½ cups chicken
stock, 1 ¾ cups cream and 1 ¾
cups milk. Add salt and pepper to taste, then sit back and let it
simmer. The longer the grits simmer, the richer they’ll be.
Typical time is 20-30 minutes, but some of the best grits sit for
an hour to two hours at low to medium-low heat, just soaking
up that cream and milk. Right before you serve the grits up,
stir in a healthy pat of butter and, if you’re feeling a little wild,
grate a handful of parmesan or cheddar cheese over the top.
Play with and perfect this dish to your liking. The recipe is pur-
posefully simple for the sole reason that it’s up to each
southern girl to come up with her own special twist on this
Southern Classic.

How to set a
table
As a lady of the Carolina’s,
small shows of simple grace
and etiquette should become as
second nature to you. Now, this
isn’t saying that you have to run
out immediately and have
visiting cards printed, or go buy
a sterling silver tea set, but
having knowledge of little things
like place settings means a lot to
locals and ultimately, shows that
you truly care for and respect
the civility which is the heart of
South Carolina.
Even at an informal dinner, it’s a
good idea to create a
centerpiece. This can be a
week-long labor of love or, in
most cases, a small setting
thrown together about five
minutes before the guests
arrive. A few snippings from the
juniper tree for frilly greenery
and aromatic scent, a handful of
flowers arranged in a low bowl
or small vase, a couple
strategically placed pieces of
fruit and a candle or two and
your centerpiece is complete. A
bouquet of flowers from the local
florist or, better yet, a nearby
farm, would also work, but no
matter what, the point is that you
have one. Another little pointer:
don’t make the centerpiece taller
than eye level. Guests would
like to be able to see each other
when they speak and it could
mess up a lovely arrangement if
you’re having to part the
sunflowers every time you want
to ask a question.
As for your silverware, if you
have sterling silver, use it. Even,
and especially, if it’s your great
grandmother’s set that’s been
passed down for generations.
She never intended for you to
keep it wrapped up in crumbling
of passing bowls and dishes
around.
bags of velvet. Silverware and
formal china, however pretty and If it is Thanksgiving at
expensive, were meant to be Grandma’s, none of the above
used and this is a great time to applies.
show them off. Even if you don’t
have formal silverware, though,
the point is to have the place
settings properly arranged and
in the end, no one will really care
what the silverware looked like
as long as there’s plenty of food
and wine.
With the dinner plate as the
center, silverware should be
placed in line, an inch from the
edge of the table, and arranged
from the outside – in, in order
of use. On the right, salad fork
(smaller fork), appetizer utensil
(or another small fork or none at
all if you aren’t having an
appetizer between salad, soup
and dinner), then dinner fork
(your biggest fork) closest to the
plate. On the left, soup spoon,
spreading knife for the bread and
the dinner knife closest to the
plate. Be sure to turn the blade
of the knives toward the plate,
as an outwardly turned knife is
a symbol of aggression toward
the other diners (don’t you love
these quaint little old world
idiosyncrasies?). The dessert
fork and spoon for after dinner
tea or coffee should go across
the top of the dinner plate, with
the tines of the fork facing right
and the bowl of the spoon facing
left. Napkins should be folded
either as simply or ornately as
you like, and placed in the center
of the dinner plate. Glasses are
also placed an inch above the
knives and in order of use
starting from the far right: white
wine, red wine, dessert wine and
water tumbler. Dinner should
be served from the kitchen and
ideally, placed on each diner’s
plate by the server/host instead

Neighborhoods
1. Neighborhoods are where we all grew up a long time ago.
Today, because of golf courses, shopping areas,
subdivisions, jobs, schools, and a transient society, a
neighborhood means different things to different folks.

2. Neighborhoods can be as small as a dozen or so houses,

and be as many as thousands of homes.

3. Neighborhoods are common, and perhaps close to

universal, since most people in urbanized areas would
probably consider themselves to be living in one.

4. Neighborhoods are convenient, and always accessible,

since you are already in your neighborhood when you walk
out your door.

5. Successful neighborhood action frequently requires little

specialized technical skill, and often little or no money. Action
may call for an investment of time, but material costs are
often low.

6. With neighborhood action, compared to activity on larger

scales, results are more likely to be visible and quickly
forthcoming. The streets are generally cleaner; the
crosswalks are painted; the trees are planted; a festival
draws a crowd.

7. Visible and swift results are indicators of success; and

since success is reinforcing, the probability of subsequent
neighborhood action is increased.

8. Because neighborhood action usually involves others,

such actions create or strengthen connections and
relationships with other neighbors, leading in turn to a variety
of potentially positive effects, often hard to predict.

9. Over and above these community advantages,

neighborhood activity may simply be enjoyable and fun for
those taking part.

But in addition to these benefits, considerable research

indicates that strong and cohesive neighborhoods and
communities are linked –quite possibly causally linked – to
decreases in crime, better outcomes for children, and im-
proved physical and mental health. The social support that
a strong neighborhood may provide can serve as a buffer
against various forms of adversity. Sometimes a neighbor-
hood isn’t a neighborhood until an event occurs, which draws
people together, to become “neighbors”.

 CASTLE ON THE WATERWAY
2715 SHIPS WHEEL DRIVE, NORTH MYRTLE BEACH, SC 29582

Click Here for Virtual Tour

“It’s a castle on the Waterway!” said Tracie
Ross, Broker in Charge of Century 21 The Beach Com-
pany. “Once you walk in, you will never want to leave,”
Ross added.

This unique fortress overlooks the Intracoastal Wa-

terway (ICW) in North Myrtle Beach and provides approxi-
mately 10,000 square-feet of luxurious living space on al-
most one acre of waterfront property! Currently, the estate
is the largest ICW property on the market, which makes it
increasingly desirable.

The love affair with this home begins with incredible curb appeal
and intensifies with first glance at the custom iron, ornamental
entryway.

Once inside, you can imagine hosting extravagant dinner parties

in the columned formal dining room followed by evening toddies
in the billiard room, which has a built-in bar area perfect for any
mix-master!

After dinner, guests will fight for the chance to carry the plates
back to the kitchen and catch a glimpse of the custom cabinetry,
granite countertops, and commercial-grade appliances.

You may want to grab a bottle of wine from the stacked

stone wine cellar adjacent to the kitchen before heading to
the living room to relax.

Television is not necessary in the living room when you

can watch the boats cruise the waterway and delight in the
amazed reactions the home evokes from passersby as they
snap a photo for evidence that such a place exists on the
Grand Strand!

The spacious master bedroom is located in a private area on the

ground floor of the home. Anyone would be anxious to wake up
to the sunbeams coming through the window as they bounce off
the sparkling waters of the ICW. Of course, no master bedroom
of this caliber is complete without a palatial master bathroom, and
this one does not disappoint. The bathroom is spacious and pri-
vate, complete with two large closets and two separate vanity ar-
eas, and the shower deserves its own area code! This is a master
bathroom to die for! Soak in the sunken Jacuzzi tub surrounded
by granite, or walk-in to the tile and glass enclosed shower room!
 After finishing the tour of the downstairs area, you cannot leave this
home without venturing upstairs to check out the spacious bed-
rooms, library, and incredible mother-in-law suite.

Each bedroom has a private bathroom, and the in-law suite comes
fully equipped with appliances and a private balcony perfect for any
guest. The third floor of the home features a media room with built-
in surround sound and plenty of seating for movie nights with fam-
ily and friends. The entire house comes fully furnished, which also
includes the equipment in the media room.

The exterior of the home is equally as impressive as the inside. The superior walls consist of custom
manufactured, insulated and precast concrete materials; therefore, the walls are wind resistant, sound resis-
tant, and cut down on insurance and utility costs for the owner.

The windows and doors are impact-resistant, which offers added protection for the home in the event of a
hurricane. In addition, the windows protect from burglary, aid in noise reduction, and offer UV protection.
Lastly, the home is topped off with cement shingles on the roof.

Additional Features:

• Elevator
• Custom tile and hardwood flooring throughout
• Custom iron work and banister railings
• 3 - Tankless water heaters
• 5 - Zoned heating and air systems
• Fully furnished
• Boat dock permit (owner is offering allowance for
dock construction and/or pool)
• Two boat lifts convey with the home (13,000
pound and 25,000 pound)
