African-American History On Display In Myrtle Beach

by the City of Myrtle Beach Myrtle Beach is a young locale, but the city works hard to preserve the short history that we have. The city was incorporated in 1938, barely eighty years ago, but those have been active decades. Much has changed, and the city has seen tremendous growth. The history of the former Myrtle Beach Air Force Base is preserved throughout the Market Common district.   Similarly, the history of our musical roots are preserved through Charlie’s Place, while our early educational steps are preserved through the Historic Myrtle Beach Colored School Museum and Education Center.  Within that building is a standing exhibit to the many contributions and accomplishments that African-Americans have made. Traffic signals, blood transfusions, pacemakers, mailboxes, light bulbs and the blood bank are among the many inventions that African-Americans gave the world. This Museum of African-American History began as a February-only display at the former Canal Street Recreation Center. Recreation Supervisor Docshee Moore originally exhibited his masterpiece during Black History Month as a tribute. His work soon outgrew what is now the Mary C. Canty Recreation Center, and the exhibit found a permanent home at the Historic Myrtle Beach Colored School Museum and Education Center, located at 900 Dunbar Street. The display highlights dozens of contributions by African American scholars, scientists, entrepreneurs and more.  The museum is open from 10am to 12pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Admission is free. To schedule a tour, call 843-918-4905. For more information about the Historic Colored School Museum and Education Center, visit The City of Myrtle Beach. The museum itself is the recreation of the former Colored School, which opened in 1932 and operated for more than twenty years. The school was replaced in 1953 and then sat idle and unused for decades, until its former students mounted an effort to preserve the building and the history it represented. The former students staunchly advocated two things:  First, they believed the school should retain its original name. To them, it had always been the Myrtle Beach Colored School, and they were unconcerned with whether that name might be uncomfortable or politically incorrect. Segregation was wrong, but it happened, and changing the name was an unthinkable act of revisionist history. Second, they strongly believed that the school should continue to serve in an educational capacity. It wasn’t enough to create a museum to the past; the new building also should provide a service to the community. Their tenacity won the day. The reconstructed school opened in 2006, and its educational role continues today. In addition to the African-American museum, the four-room school also serves as a place for after-school activities for neighborhood children. The history of our very young city is preserved for all to see and learn.

Banking on Community in the Market Common

by Ashley Daniels You work hard for your money. And that’s why you want to entrust it with a local institution that has your best financial interest in mind, like Santee Cooper Credit Union (SCCU), which has a branch right along Farrow Parkway in the Market Common. “We pride ourselves on being all about the community,” says Michelle Jones, manager of marketing and HR. “People helping people and giving back. If you come into the branch, we will call you by your name, and ask about your family. We want you to know that we care about you; we want you to be part of our credit union family.” SCCU dates back to 1953, when ten members joined together to form the credit union by contributing $50 each to serve employees of the South Carolina Public Service Authority. Today, since that charter was founded sixty-five years ago, membership has expanded to anyone that lives, works or attends school in Berkeley or Horry counties.  SCCU membership continues to grow its 7,300 members. But no matter the growth, SCCU is committed to maintaining its philosophy of “people helping people.” Jones, who works out of the Moncks Corner branch, says SCCU offers all of the usual banking services (checking and savings accounts, loans and credit cards, mobile and online), but also the unique offerings of a credit union, with an all-volunteer board of directors who are also members of SCCU. “We also try to keep our fee structure lower, as well as offer better loan rates to members,” says Jones. “Because we are a not-for-profit organization, we can give back to the membership through dividends paid out through our deposit accounts as well as offering lower loan rates.” Special services at SCCU also include a Christmas Club account, which encourages members to save for next year’s Christmas shopping. “We’re encouraging members to set up this savings account to have funds automatically deducted from their paycheck to set aside for next year,” says Jones. “Our philosophy is that if it’s automatically coming out, it’s not something you have to do on your own or worry about.” There’s also a Young Savers account to help instill good habits in members eighteen years of age or younger. SCCU actually deposits the first $5 to open the account for these young members, to help jumpstart years of deposits in the future. “We think it’s important to learn at a young age the importance of setting money aside and having goals,” says Jones. She says that’s one of the ways SCCU tries to give back to the community: reaching out to schools to talk to students about the ins and outs of finances and helping them down the right path as much as they can. They also sponsor an annual college scholarship and donate to community kitchens over the holiday season. Another way SCCU is maintaining its mission of “people helping people” is the rollout of upgraded mobile banking features, like Bill Pay and a remote deposit capture, in 2020.  Santee Cooper Credit Union Globe

Your Romantic Date Destination This Valentine’s Day

by Kevin Gunn While we all seek to show the special someone in our lives how much we care about him or her every day, Valentine’s Day is the quintessential time for showing that love. And Pawleys Island is a great place to take that special someone.  With romantic restaurants, scenery, and a relaxing off-the-beaten-track vibe, Pawleys Island affords the perfect backdrop for a day or evening outing.  The below are some fun, lighthearted suggestions of Valentine’s Day Do’s and Don’ts.  The Valentines Day Don’ts 1.  Don’t forget the day.  Put it in your calendar, or set an alert or reminder. P.S. Wishing your loved one a Happy Valentine’s Day on February 13 does not count. Restaurants will get booked far in advance, set your plans now if you haven’t already. 2. If you’re buying a gift for a woman, don’t make it a kitchen appliance. Unless she really, really loves that kind of thing and asked for something specific… 3. If your significant other isn’t into your favorite type of cuisine, then don’t take him or her there. Instead, find something you both will enjoy.  The Valentines Day Do’s 1. Send a gift at work. What better way to start the day than with a nice surprise?  Win the day with this move. 2.

Watch a movie you’ll both enjoy. Compromise is bliss.

Chocolate Pom Poms

Pomegranates have been revered by numerous countries and cultures throughout the centuries, from Armenia and Azerbaijan, to the tables of modern day London, where the bulky fruit became all the rage after the publication of the cookbook Ottolenghi in 2018, and the little seeds bedecked dishes from eggplant to ice cream across the city. In ancient Greece, they developed the myth of Persephone and Demeter around the fruit to account for the seasons of the year.  The below recipe couldn’t be more simple nor more delightful, and it’s quintessential for Valentine’s Day— blending that holiday’s two well-known accompaniments perfectly— chocolate and the color red.  It is known that the energy of love is equal to the energy of creativity, so let the sparks fly and your imagination soar as you head to the kitchen this month to put your own original spin on this delicate little treat. You could substitute dark chocolate for milk, semisweet, or white, or mix and match. Add it as a topping to vanilla ice cream or a sponge cake. Where will your culinary adventure lead you?  Ingredients 1 large pomegranate ½ cup dark chocolate cinnamon Directions Peel the pomegranate, and free the seeds from the rind, collecting them in a bowl. Slowly melt the chocolate over a double boiler, stirring constantly, or at the lowest setting possible on your stove. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.  Line a mini muffin tin with liners, add some seeds and drizzle with chocolate. Finish with a dash of cinnamon if so desired.

North Myrtle Beach’s Heart Healthy Exercise Routine

by Shawn C. Spickler, Fitness Director, NMB Aquatic & Fitness Center  The North Myrtle Beach Aquatic & Fitness Center would like to invite the community to participate in supporting Heart Health Month by getting active during the month of February. An inactive lifestyle is a big risk factor for heart disease. Fortunately, this risk factor is a variable you can control. Exercising your heart means exercising your body. Before beginning any exercise program, be sure to consult with your physician, especially if you are on heart medications or have any restrictions due to health issues. Your doctor will be happy to help construct a healthy heart exercise program suitable for you. The following tips will help improve your heart health and overall well-being. Warm Up Warm-up exercises help your heart and muscles adjust from a resting state to an exercise state. Warming up will gradually increase your heart rate, thus reducing the stress on your heart and muscles. Good stretching exercises for warming up include shoulder rolls, knee lifts, overhead reaches and light walking. Aerobic/Cardio Conditioning The bulk of your healthy heart routine will be spent doing aerobic activity. Physical activity that increases your heart rate should be done for at least 20-30 minutes a day. Swimming, brisk walking, and low-impact aerobics are all good options. If aerobics isn’t your thing, don’t rule out exercise. Housework, yard work and other activities that you can build into your daily routine are all effective at increasing your heart rate and improving heart health. Cool Down Cooling down from exercise gradually brings your heart rate down and helps your body recover. Bring the intensity of your exercise down a few notches and include some more stretching in this phase. Whether you practice a structured healthy heart exercise program or you consistently add physical activity into your daily routine, remember that it all adds up. And a healthy heart is a happy heart.

Q&A with Linda Weintraub

A New York Native Turned Devoted Volunteer by Melissa LaScaleia Introduce me to your family.  I have two children. Lalenya, my daughter, is an attorney with two children: Berkeley is twelve years old and an avid gymnast; and Hudson, is very cerebral, he’s a scholar. My other daughter, Fawn, is a teacher. She also has two children: RJ, who studies pre-engineering; and Remy, who studies martial arts, and just got his purple belt.  Where are all the places you came from? Where do you live now? I’ve lived in New York my entire life. I lived in a 200 year-old house in the woods. Then we sold the house, and decided to move to South Carolina because we had a friend who moved here and encouraged us to come. I had never been to South Carolina until that point. I’ve been here four years now. We live in the Market Common area because we like the town aspect, where there are activities and we can walk to things.     What is your favorite place in Myrtle Beach? I like Pawley’s Island and the downtown in the Market Common. I shop locally and love the small stores.  What do you like the most about living here? I love the temperatures in the spring and fall. And I love that the people here in the South are so nice and so polite, and very friendly.  How has your lifestyle changed since moving here? I retired very young, and I’ve been volunteering for awhile. So now I’m doing even more volunteer work. It’s very important to me to help people.  What new activities have you taken up since moving here? I’m volunteering in the ER at the Grand Strand and I also tutor two children. I belong to an organization called Recovery International. It’s a peer-to-peer, self-help, mental health wellness group. I run the only group in the state, and they gave me permission to advertise it to the public as well. I’m ever thankful to them that they granted it to me, and now I’m trying to expand the group. We have a veteran initiative as well— I don’t lead that meeting, but I’m spreading the word about it.  What is one thing that your neighbors don’t know about you?  1) I’m not into beach-house decor; I have a lot of antiques. 2) I belly dance to raise funds for children in orphanages. 3) I go to Mexico in the Sierra Madres every winter— I’ve worked there feeding families in a very impoverished area.  What are your favorite things to do here?  I like walking a lot. And I like meeting new people.  Is there anything that you miss or would like to see in Myrtle Beach? Yes, mountains. And some Jewish delis and good delicatessens. And a real supermarket here in the Market Common.

Lupercalia, Pink Noses, and a Box of Chocolates

Charlie’s Corner is the domain of Charlie, the four-legged lady’s man of Market Common. Each month, he’ll share information to help all new, visiting, and existing doggie community members get the most out of life alongside their human companions. Here we’ll feature his reflections on what it’s like to be a dashing downtown doggie, as he reminds all of us how to play well with others.  This February, Charlie delves into the history of Valentine’s Day.  “Ah me, I’m such a die-hard romantic. I get even more blissed out than usual when Valentine’s Day rolls on by and pauses to stay for 24 sweet hours in our calendar of days.  Everything is pink and red and white (just like me!) and sparkly (just like my personality), and so really, what’s not to like?  Even if you don’t have a sweetheart of the romantic persuasion in your life, it’s just a love-filled, heart-centered kind of day. And gosh, that’s the regular M.O. of hippies all the time, so I think one day out of the year for us all collectively to celebrate peace, love, happiness, and sparkly things is a good idea.  And because, in addition to being pink, red, and white (it’s my nose and tongue respectively that are the former two colors by the way, just in case you were wondering), I’m also endlessly inquisitive and just looooooooove research. And I want to find out the origins of this day and how its connection with romance came to be.  …  What a very interesting and colorful lineage. Many historians trace the origins of Valentine’s Day to an ancient pagan festival called Lupercalia, which fell sometime between February 13-15. Although how it initially got started is shrouded in the mists of time, the festival has been traced as far back as the 6th century B.C. and was undoubtedly of Roman origins, as it derives its name from the Latin word for wolf, lupus.  Some have posited that the name of the festival is in deference to and celebration of the legend of Rome’s founding— that a wolf nursed two abandoned baby brothers, Romulus and Remus, who grew to adulthood under her care and went on to birth the great city.  Lupercalia was predominantly a fertility festival, and like most of those, it involved animal sacrifice (yikes!).  Even though I’m a sensitive pooch, and sad and offended by this, I can still understand the culture of the times from a scholarly perspective and let my affront go. Let’s move on.  People ran wild through the streets, as women were offered benedictions which supposedly made them fertile. It is also said that men selected the names of women from a random lottery, and coupled up with them for the duration of the festival. Well, that’s one very interesting way to do it I suppose. Apparently, many couples fell in love and ended up getting married. Fast forward centuries. There was a man named Valentine, who was a Christian in Rome when it wasn’t popular to be one, and the Emperor wasn’t too pleased about it. He threw Valentine in prison until he changed his mind, but Valentine didn’t. So the emperor ordered him executed. As the story goes, he wrote a farewell letter of thanks to the kind daughter of his jailer, signing it, “Your Valentine.”  Time passed, things changed, and by the 5th century it was popular to be Christian and decidedly déclassé to be pagan. So much so, that pagan festivals were being almost universally replaced with Christian religious holy days. Almost anyone who had been martyred was canonized a saint, and they all had days to honor them.  Valentine was one such saint. Pope Gelasius I instated February 14 as “Saint Valentine’s Day” effectively blotting out Lupercalia.  Today, there aren’t any Christian saint’s days which are universally celebrated except the day for Valentine. But this is where my research hat no longer serves me and I must wander into the realm of speculation.  How specifically did this day come to be associated with heart shaped butter cookies and romance? Boxes of chocolates and that special someone? Nobody seems to know, but I sure am glad for this particular evolution. All that running around at Lupercalia would have tired me out. I’d much prefer some sweets and snuggles.”  Until next time,

Surfside Beach Police

by the Town of Surfside Beach We have been busy at the police department as we move into 2020. Chief Hoffman has recently returned from an 11-week training at the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia.  The training focused on leadership, organizational change, officer wellness and vitality, and media relations. He is looking forward to continuing the hard work of advancing the Surfside Beach Police Department into the new decade, and grateful that the town allowed him to attend this professional development training to help him be the most effective police chief for the town. The department is also appreciative that town council and our town administrator have been supportive of recruiting and retention efforts. The department has procured and outfitted four new patrol vehicles, giving enough vehicles to issue each sworn officer an assigned police vehicle.  If the officer lives in or close enough to the town, they will be able to drive their assigned vehicle home. This is a powerful recruiting and retention tool that also benefits the town. Research shows that officers take better care of an assigned vehicle. This results in an increased useable life of the vehicle, lowered maintenance costs, and lower fuel costs. The town closed the municipal jail over six months ago and began transporting persons arrested in town directly to the Horry County Detention Center or the Myrtle Beach Police Department. This organizational change is a one-year pilot program to see how the closure affects public safety, liability for the town, and cost of operating a jail.  Due to South Carolina Department of Corrections requirements, continued operation of the jail would have required the hiring of nine additional full-time personnel and increased costs estimated at over $600,000.00 per year. Municipal jails present tremendous liabilities to municipalities such as Surfside Beach. The test has been overwhelmingly successful, using two full-time transportation officers to the detention center during peak hours, leaving officers on the streets to continue patrolling. The Community Alert Program (CAP) continues to grow as town residents sign up. This program allows elderly or special needs residents to be checked on periodically by communications officers. If contact cannot be made with a resident or their emergency contact, a police officer is dispatched to the residence to check on them.  This program also allows special needs residents to advise how to best respond to an address if an emergency arises. For example, some of residents may be startled by the sound of a siren or loud talking. Our police officers care deeply about residents’ individual needs, and this program helps them respond with this vital information. Additionally, the department is preparing for the upcoming spring and Memorial Day bike rallies, and are in the early stages of planning for the upcoming beach season. Chief Hoffman and his team look forward to seeing residents and business owners at the “Coffee with a Cop” event to be announced in the near future.  Additionally, we are preparing the materials for a new and improved Citizens Police Academy in the spring.  Stay tuned.

Emma’s Health Talk: Personal Accountability, Part 1

Do You Lie to Yourself? by Emma Ware Do You Lie To Yourself? Reread my header again. Did it evoke feelings of curiosity or make you ill at ease? Based on the human emotional processing of information, one will either agree with the material presented or strongly disagree and either excitedly pass it on to everyone perceived to need it, or toss away the article.  After cross-referencing many sources, most of the information that I found on this subject is similar, and supports the studies done by multiple accredited counselors, doctors and holistic practitioners. The definition of personal accountability is as follows: Accountability is an ongoing, habitual commitment to yourself to stand for what is important to you through continually choosing to consciously take ownership for your life.  Many of our choices are pre-determined by our expectation that we can control the outcome. A perfect example of compromised accountability would be a person who decides to change her eating habits to get the result of a healthier body, but who denies that eating sugar won’t affect the outcome.    In my research, I came across a book written by Linda Galindo titled, The 85% Solution. Linda details the struggle with accountability and suggests the benefits gained when we choose to become accountable. Here are just a few results worth mentioning. → Decreased Stress → Increased productivity → Better time usage → Increased job and relationship satisfaction A lack of personal accountability is at the heart of chronic stress and it saps us of our productivity. It wastes our time and it makes us less satisfied with our jobs, our relationships, and ourselves. Stress breaks down our ability to stay healthy and is a foe we can overcome by following simple choices. (I will focus on what some of those are, next month.)  Are you able to tell yourself the truth about your accountability? The goal is always to stop bad habits, begin life-changing healthy ones, and hold ourselves accountable for the outcome.  I hope this article will encourage some personal research. Remember to always check with your doctor when making any changes to your health routine. Stop by the office at 2798-D Howard Avenue in Market Common or call me at 843 997-7037.  Blessings, – Emma Click here to read Part 2 of “Personal Accountability”

by Emily Smith February is the perfect time to show your significant other just how important they are to you. In our neck of the woods alone there are plenty of ways to do just that. Plus, being in such a central neighborhood of the Grand Strand means you can rely on the whole area to plan a great excursion.  Downtown Conway kicks the month off with their annual Chocolate Walk, inviting fans of the candy to explore downtown while enjoying the work of local chocolatiers— amateur and professional alike. Indulge your senses from 11am-3pm on Saturday, February 1.  On both ends of Carolina Forest, popular restaurants like The Grumpy Monk, King Kong Sushi, and The Sneaky Beagle offer delicious and casual options for date nights. Brunch is also a tasty alternative for a meal together, with places such as The Famous Toastery, even the aforementioned Sneaky Beagle, offering perfect ways to begin a romantic day.

Located on U.S. 17 Business in Myrtle Beach, this restaurant is fine dining complete with tableside service. Reservations at The Library are a necessity on Valentine’s Day.  In Pawleys Island, Frank’s and Frank’s Outback has both fancy and relaxed options to best suit your date.

In North Myrtle Beach, La Belle Amie Vineyard is a lovely idea for wine lovers but has something for everyone to enjoy. From there, it’s only a quick drive to numerous charming and elegant restaurants, including 21 Main or Seablue Restaurant and Wine Bar. A little further north into Little River, Vereen Memorial Historical Gardens is a beautiful park on the Intracoastal Waterway and is ideal for enjoying the beauty of nature, plus a great option for a free activity.  Just down the road, The Brentwood Restaurant and Wine Bistro offers a dive into French cuisine with regular events, making a Valentine’s date convenient even if it isn’t on the fourteenth. For plans specific to Valentine’s Day, it is important to call in advance and make reservations as needed. This will include any event held by the Carolina Forest Recreation Center.  No matter what kind of date you and yours prefer, there is something in the Grand Strand to make your time together memorable. 

Commemorating The Life of Colonel Nevers

The Life and Legacy of a Memorable Base Commander by Melissa LaScaleia This month’s history section commemorates the valor of Colonel Joseph R. Nevers, for whom Nevers Street in the Market Common is named.  Colonel Nevers passed away on November 15, 2019, in Homestead, Florida; he was eighty-nine years old. Joseph had an illustrious military career with the United States Air Force that spanned thirty-five years.  Joseph was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut on May 25, 1930. His parents were Joseph and Stephanie Nevers.   As an adult, he was a renowned fighter pilot in the Vietnam War and flew more than 7,700 military hours in the F-86, F-100, and F-104 aircraft.  In the 1950s, the F-100 Super Sabre replaced the F-86 in the Air Force with its superior design. The F-100 distinguished itself by being the first plane in the Air Force to exceed the speed of sound in level flight. The F-104, a further enhancement in the F series of planes, has been called a missile with wings by some pilots due to its speed and ability to climb quickly. Nevers logged 4,885 flying hours in the F-104— a number which was exceeded by only one other pilot in the United States Air Force.  Joseph flew F-104 combat missions during the Vietnam War. Later in the war, he served the United States further by acting as a Deputy Base Commander of a special operations wing operating from a base in Thailand. Joseph held other key assignments during his military career.  He was the director of F-104 operations at Luke Air Force Base, Arizona; and Deputy Base Commander at Homestead Air Force Base, Florida. During the ’70s, he was also Commander of the 354th Combat Support Group at Myrtle Beach Air Force Base. In effect, he was the 354th Tactical Fighter Wing’s Base Commander for the Myrtle Beach Air Force Base. He served for more than seven years, becoming our base’s longest serving commander.  Jim Parker, when he was stationed at Myrtle Beach Air Force Base in 1978, remembers meeting Colonel Nevers and what it was like to be stationed under his supervision:    “He was a well-liked base commander. He had a great reputation amongst the military as well as civilian employees and the community at large. I was 18 when I met him. I remember he made an impression on me with his ability to discern a person’s character. He was one of the highest authority figures I had ever met, and he was a role model for me as a community leader and an authority figure. He was well liked, and he was a gentleman and a scholar.”  Colonel Nevers served as base commander the entire time Jim was stationed here.  “He will be missed,” Jim says.  Colonel Joseph R. Nevers medals include: the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star, two Distinguished Flying Crosses, and five Air Medals.  During his lifetime, Joseph was a member of several aviation organizations— among them: the EAA # 1354, OX 5 club, Quiet Birdmen, and the Daedalians.  Joseph was married twice: first to Patricia Nevers.  After her death, he married Patricia Dunn Nevers. He is succeeded by his children: Carol Nevers-Bernier, Linda Nevers, Joseph Nevers, and Mark Nevers; as well as his in-law’s children whom he took in as his own— Lynn Daly and Warren Breither.  Joseph is succeeded as well by numerous grandchildren as well as nieces, nephews, cousins, and his favorite canine companion, Murphy.
