Its Just a Matter of Time
From the Editor
Time is an unusual thing to discuss in a monthly lifestyle magazine, but it enters into our lives all the time. Yes, thats a pun. First is the content of this magazine. It takes us longer than a month to put it all together, so you can receive it faithfully before the beginning of each month. We will be describing exactly what it takes to produce this magazine in a future issue, but for now lets just say the staff never takes a break; while the work on one issue is not even complete, we are working on the content of the next issue. In addition to the events and the fitness calendars, which are always specific to the current month, and the column from the Lifestyle Director for the current month and month to come, we always try to include articles that relate to the month of each issue. In this issue, you will find pieces about the Fourteenth Amendment, adopted in July 1868, and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which was signed into law in July of that year. You will also see an article on the first woman FBI Special Agent, who started work in July 1972. Then there is an article that relates to a designated special occasion. The entire month of July has been designated Air Conditioning Appreciation Month so we have included a reflection on air conditioners for our readers who were in the cross-over generation growing up without air conditioning, and growing older with most of our indoor spaces now comfortably airconditioned. Thus, our magazine is conscious of time as it passes. Some of us have been in Sun City Carolina Lakes since the beginning, and this month we welcome the first batch of homeowners in that new enclave referred to as Turkey Point. Time sure does fly. Pulte built more than 26 Pods in the original section of SCCL, and now the new areas are referred to as Phases. We welcome the new residents of Phase 1 and look forward to the completion of that Phase, and the nine more scheduled to come in the near future. Time will tell how these new areas integrate into our community. July also marks the start of the second half of the year, and is the heart of the summer season. Although the outdoor pool has already been open for more than a month, there is still plenty of time to enjoy the beautiful days of summer between now and the time when fall overtakes us. Some might feel that the year is half over, while others might consider that we still have six months of activity ahead before we move into 2014. In either event, as time goes on we move closer to the point when we will be responsible for our own destiny, here in SCCL and as residents and taxpayers of the larger Indian Land community. The magazine is here, in part, to inform and educate; we hope you take advantage of the available time, and the opportunities to learn and be good citizens.

Indian Land High School Girls Softball Team Meets Sun City Carolina Lakes Team
Both the Indian Land Girls softball team and SCCL softballers share the spotlight following the game. The winner? A better Indian Land community.
n May 17, the Indian Land High School Girls softball team hosted a team from Sun City Carolina Lakes in a battle for the ages (or is that the aged?). The SCCL team was comprised of players 70 years or older. With just two practices behind them, the SCCL team showed up in time to watch the high school girls go through their warm-ups. To say we were impressed would be an understatement. It was obvious they were athletic, well-coached, and up to the challenge they even ran laps before the game! We thought about it. We knew we had a challenge in front of us but believed we were up to the task. Some basic rules were put in place for the game primarily that the girls would hit against one of their pitchers (fast pitch) while the guys would bat against one of our own pitchers (slow pitch). We are all thankful that rule was put in place. From an SCCL point of view, we got off to a bit of a slow start. It was obvious the girls had come
to win. Their speed and athletic talent got them off to a fast start. We were able to bounce back, leaning on our experience and patience. Getting to the bottom line, the SCCL team persevered with a hard-fought 10-8 victory. Then came the humbling part of the day where we reversed the pitching scenarios we batted against their pitchers and they batted against ours. It would be safe to say that our slow, high-arc pitching befuddled the girls a bit but nothing compared to us trying to get a bat on the ball from their pitcher. When all was said and done, the final scores did not really matter. What mattered was that everyone obviously enjoyed themselves. A large crowd was in attendance and very involved in the game. The generational difference in the two teams had no bearing once the teams took the field it was softball for that one night at least, our common language. And what a great group of young ladies they were, representing their

school and community. Engaged in the task at hand, spirited, and polite it was a delight to be on the field with them. We sensed that they felt the same about us, as they, and their moms called us back on the field for a picture-taking session. We hope this becomes a recurring community activity we can share, and are already talking about the school team visiting the SCCL field in Turkey Point in the fall for a rematch. The Softball Club wants to thank the Indian Land team, coaches, and fans for supporting this effort and giving us such an enjoyable evening. Thanks also go out to the SCCL players and coaches, and the large group of fans that followed us down the road to watch the game. by Dave Robertson

Out of Africa: SCCL Travelers' Trip of a Lifetime
eryl Streep and Robert Redford were no-shows, but the 26 SCCL residents and our four guests never missed them! We knew the schedule for our trip, but we had no idea of the breadth and depth of the experiences we would have during these 14 days. We owe that to the excellent scheduling and guidance of Dennis Telmanik of Telmanik Travel.
Our trip began in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa, located near the southern the tip of the continent. From there, we moved on to our private game reserve, Lion Sands, which borders Kruger National Park. The private reserve was probably the biggest highlight for everyone on the trip because it gave us the opportunity to see the wildlife up close and personal in their natural habitat. It was unbelievable how the animals were not disturbed by the jeeps, which allowed for some very close encounters.

We journeyed from there to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, where we saw the magnificent falls, with a day trip to Botswana to enjoy a safari on the Chobe River and another at the Chobe National Park. This is one trip everyone should put on their bucket list. As a matter of fact, Telmanik Travel will be doing a replay of this trip in 2015. Submitted by George and Mona Baker

Millford Plantation
By Karyn Khare
illford Plantation, located in Pinewood SC, is a beautifully restored 1840s home, described as the finest example of Greek Revival architecture in America. John Laurence Manning, son of a governor of South Carolina and later governor himself, and his wife Susan Hampton Manning, daughter of military hero General Wade Hampton, had it built between 1840 and 1842. The young couple was only 22 years of age when construction began. They commissioned Duncan Phyfe & Sons to
make suites of furniture for the entrance hall, dining room, double parlors and bedrooms, all shipped from New York City. Most of the homes documented Duncan Phyfe furniture is miraculously still intact, most pieces never having left the house. The main rooms of the house showcase 16-foot ceilings, richly carved classical woodwork, and mahogany doors with silver-plated hardware. A grand central hallway and a staircase to the second floor are located in a cylindrical hall at the rear of the house. Two dependencies are attached to the main house covered by walkways.

6/19/13 3:04 PM
The double parlors feature Duncan Phyfe furnishings that remained in the mansion since delivered in the 1840s from New York.
Even though the Mannings fortune was destroyed by the Civil War, they managed to hold on to the home until 1902. Regarding the war, history recounts the homes survival being due to the Union general who arrived to burn it being told the house was built by architect Nathaniel Potter. General Potter responded that the house was protected because Nathaniel Potter was his brother. In 1902, the house was sold to Mary Clark Thompson of New York, who later bequeathed it to her two Clark nephews, who hunted and fished during their residence there during winters. They sold the mansion and 400 acres to Richard Hampton Jenrette in 1992. Jenrette restored the house, organized the return of many original furnishings, and donated it to the Classical American Homes Preservation Trust in 2008, to be used as a house museum and garden. Millford has been designated a National Historic Landmark by the U.S. Department of the Interior.

The day we visited the very colorful, interesting, friendly Louis, property manager since 1984, guided our group throughout the main floor living spaces. We viewed grandly appointed rooms as well as a 1950s era modern kitchen. The former owner, Richard Hampton Jenrette, holds soirees and fundraisers regularly at the mansion and is in residence during visits to SC. Outdoors were serene grounds with perfectly manicured sweeping lawns, wisteria, magnolia, holly and camellia and neatly manicured hedgerows and flower beds.
Millford Plantation is located 97.5 miles (just over 2 hours) south of Sun City Carolina Lakes. Tours are held on the first Saturday of each month and every Saturday in April. Individual rates are $15. No interior photography is allowed. There are no picnic tables although the grounds are lovely for picnicking. Limited dining is offered in Pinewood; closest restaurants are in Sumter, approximately 30 minutes east. U.S. 521 is then a lovely scenic route directly from Sumter to the front gate of Sun City Carolina Lakes!

WOMEN IN THE
FBI
A
by Rita C. Arundell
fter seeing Sandra Bullock play a female FBI agent in Miss Congeniality, I wondered how many women actually serve as FBI agents today. Surely, we would not want them to act like the character played by Bullock. It is said that women have served the FBI in many support positions since 1920. In July, 1972, women finally assumed a larger role in the FBI, serving as special agents. Of the over 15,000 women currently employed by the Bureau, some 2,600 are special agents. Nineteen percent of all special agents today are women. All the women must be in good physical condition and pass the same physical fitness test as the men, although the scoring is somewhat different. Female agents also receive special training in the use of firearms and related equipment. Women are actively recruited for positions in the FBI because of their different skills in working with people. The FBI does list in its information, a few notable female special agents. For example, for Cassandra Chandler, the FBI material lists her numerous educational degrees and the many stepping stone positions she has held in the FBI. They say she supervised the countrys first international health care fraud undercover operation. There is no doubt that is important work. Kimberly Mertz, another notable agent, also with many degrees, held several supervisory positions, including Special Agent in Charge of the New Haven Field Office. Then theres Charlene Thornton, again with many degrees and quite a few supervisory jobs. She was responsible for investigating bank robberies and property crimes.

6/19/13 3:05 PM
Sue Thomas was one of those "real" female FBI agents. She is also profoundly deaf. Now a successfulful author, her story was the basis of a TV series, "Sue Thomas: F.B.Eye," which aired for three seasons in the mid-2000s.Thomas spent four years working for the FBI, from 1979 to 1983, as a surveillance and lip-reading specialist.
All these women worked hard in a field dominated by men to earn their positions and carry out the FBIs goal to help protect all Americans and their communities from dangerous threats, from terrorists to child predators to serial killers. Perhaps Im a bit too addicted to watching Ms. Bullock floor male suspects and solve problems without checking with her superiors, definitely a no-no, to truly appreciate the absolutely wonderful work of the female special agents.

A Very Brief History of
Air Conditioning
By David Wilner o you know who Willis Havilan Carrier was? He has often been referred to as the father of air conditioning(actually air cooling and dehumidifying.) After graduating from Cornell University with a masters degree in engineering, he went to work for the Buffalo Forge Company for $10.00 a week. He was granted his first patent in 1906, and as they say, the rest is history. Can you imagine living in South Carolina without air conditioning? If you lived here before 1902, you had no choice.Alfred Wolff designed a system and installed it in the New York Stock Exchange. That great feat was followed by a zoned system installed in an office building in Kansas City. Many engineers built individual systems but nothing was mass-marketed until 1929, when a very large unit that stood outside a house and cooled one room was first sold. At the same time, Willis Carrier made the Weathermaker, a whole-house air conditioner. Mr. Carrier did not invent the very first system to cool an interior structure. However, his system was the first truly safe and successful one that started the science of modern air conditioning. It didnt really take off until after the Great Depression and World War II. In 1938, a window air conditioner using Freon gas was marketed by Philco-York. Finally, in 1947, an engineer named Henry Galson, devised manufacturing methods to mass-produce window air conditioners. More than 40,000 units were sold that year. Those of us living in a city in the late forties and fifties can remember going to a park on extra hot nights to get

away from the heat of an apartment. It felt cooler there. People would fall asleep on the grass. Of course, it was a simpler time and there was no danger being in the park in the middle of the night. Movie theaters were air-cooled, but that was just moving cool air with all the humidity still in it. The air conditioner, on the other hand, would remove much of the humidity, cool the air by 20 degrees, and make life far more comfortable. My father opened the first air-conditioned drugstore in Chicago in June, 1949. On July 3 of that year, the temperature hit 102 degrees. The store was a great success as people flocked in to enjoy the cool, dehumidified air. My family eventually moved to be closer to the store during the summer of 1952. After moving, whenever it got too hot to sleep at home; we camped out on the floor of the drugstore.

By the 1970s, very few new homes were built without central air-conditioning and more than 50 percent of all new cars had air-conditioning included. We now go from our air-conditioned house to our airconditioned car to an air-conditioned store, restaurant, or movie theater, without ever giving it a second thought. Is it really hot and humid here in South Carolina? L

SCCL Club of the Month
by Caroline and Bob Zweiebel
he Federal Employee Retirees Interest Group (FERIG) invites all Sun City Carolina Lakes residents who are retired Federal government or Postal employees to join their Interest Group. The purpose of the Interest Group is to provide a venue for retired Federal and Postal employees to meet socially, as well as to exchange ideas and information of mutual interest and benefit. FERIG has 85 SCCL residents signed up on the community web page. To date there are over 50 paid members, most of whom regularly attend the monthly meetings and special events. FERIG membership represents a total of over 900 years of dedicated employment within the Federal government and/or Postal Service. FERIG meets at 11:30 a.m. on the fourth Monday of each month in the private party room at Midtown Sundries (formerly the Carolina Bistro), located on U.S. 521.

Cradle of Genius
by Louise Pettus
The Old Waxhaw Presbyterian Church as it is today.
One in a series on the
History of Our Area
marker in front of Old Waxhaw Presbyterian Church on Riverside Road in upper Lancaster County states that the church, organized by Scotch-Irish settlers, was the first in upcountry South Carolina. The date given on the marker is 1755 for the building of the first church. The present building is the fourth. The first church was built not long after the first colonists arrived, believed to be about 1751. The area was so beautiful and fruitful that it was long designated the Garden of the Waxhaws. That designation had two meanings. One is a reference to the Waxhaw Indians, who had lived in the area just to the south of the Catawba Indians and with whom they lived in peace if not as allies. The other meaning is the use of Garden to refer to the Garden of Eden. Many of the first European settlers firmly believed that in the New World they would find the Garden of Edenuncorrupted and situated at the same latitude as the original Garden. In their minds, the Waxhaws fit the description. The first wave of Scotch-Irish settlers came down from Pennsylvania or western Virginia. They were a hardy, high-minded, fearless, and restless lot. The second wave, many of whom were kinsmen of the first, included the families of men who had enlisted to fight the French and Indians. They had struck, burned, and pillaged the frontier settlements from 1754 to the conclusion of the war in 1763. 28
Actually, the Waxhaws designated an indefinite boundary. The present North Carolina-South Carolina boundary line had not been established. The Catawba Indian Land was not agreed upon or marked until 1763. By the Treaty of Augusta, the boundary was established as within the province of South Carolina and used the Camden-Salisbury Road as its eastern boundary. The Waxhaw Indians were not a party to the treaty; they had been wiped out earlier by a smallpox epidemic. When used in the literature, the Waxhaws generally refers to the area that has the Catawba River as the western boundary, Twelve Mile Creek (the southern border of the Indian Boundary) as the northern boundary, and Gills Creek (on the north edge of the town of Lancaster) as its southern boundry. To the east is the most indefinite line of all, but roughly extending to include the town of Waxhaw NC. The Waxhaws was the homeland of many distinguished men. Foremost is Andrew Jackson, whose birthplace is marked at Andrew Jackson State Park. The second most distinguished son was Gen. William Richardson Davie, a Revolutionary War hero. He also was governor of North Carolina, founder of the University of North Carolina, special envoy to France, a founder of the South Carolina Agriculture Society and its first president, and the commissioner who headed the party of surveyors who established the current North Carolina-South Carolina boundary line.

Another native, Stephen Decatur Miller, governor and U.S. senator, was also the father of Mary Boykin Chesnut, the author of the famed A Diary from Dixie. James Blair was in the United States House at the same time that Miller was in the Senate and Jackson was president of the United States. This is the origin of the phrase, Waxhaws, Cradle of Genius. To a man, the Waxhaws were Whigs in the Revolution. The church sheltered the wounded. The Revolutionary plot has seven markers to designate the soldiers who were buried in unmarked graves. With this group is a lovely monument to Elizabeth Hutchison Jackson, the mother of Andrew Jackson, who died of smallpox while nursing her son and nephew in Charleston.

The Old Waxhaw Presbyterian Church was the scene of the Great Revival, or the Great Camp Meeting, of 1803. Perhaps 3,000 participants were involved. A split in the church occurred, with part of the congregation forming the Associate Reformed Presbyterian (ARP) Church. Cotton was the major crop from the early 1800s until the 1840s. But cotton rapidly depletes the soil of its nutrients. A great exodus began in the 1840s and continued for a half century. The descendants of the settlers found new frontiers to conquer. For the most part, they went west toward the Mississippi and beyond, leaving a colorful and proud history of accomplishment behind them. L

Wins American Idol

by Neil Webner
South Carolina Native
(Finally)
or a state that has produced more than its fair share of nationally-known musical performers, South Carolina has been surprisingly unrepresented on American Idol, televisions popular 12-year-old singing competition. Until this year! South Carolina has produced an array of renowned musicians and singers, such as Dizzy Gillespie, Hootie and the Blowfish, the Marshall Tucker Band, Eartha Kitt, Maurice Williams and Zodiacs, Chubby Checker well, the list goes on and on. Plus, South Carolina hosts Carolina Opry in Myrtle Beach, Headliners Music Tavern in Columbia and Music Farm in Charleston, to name just a few of the states popular music venues. Ronnie Milsap and the Gatlin Brothers have adopted South Carolina, and Dolly Parton and other top musicians have established venues in the state that so loves country, blue grass, R&B and timeless rock.
So you would think that the state easily dominates American Idol. It hasnt. Only Chris Sligh of Greenville, who came in tenth during the shows sixth season and Elise Testone, who finished sixth last year, were Idol finalists from South Carolina. Even our neighbors up in North Carolina produced seven finalists, including two outright winners and a runner-up. So whats wrong with South Carolina? Nothin baby! We can claim this years winner, Candice Rickelle Glover, a native of Beaufort. With a powerful, stylistic, rhythm and blues voice, Glover became the first from South Carolina to win the talent contest and the first female to win since 2007. Glover brought one Idol judge, Nicki Minaj, to tears with her rendition of Next to Me. In April, judge Randy Jackson said that Glovers performance of Lovesong was one of the greatest performances in the 12 years of American Idol. Making songs my own is my favorite thing to do, Glover has said.

But it was not an easy win for Glover. Shy and humble, Glover has struggled with her weight and in high school received counseling for feelings of insecurity. Having never received any formal vocal training, she auditioned with American Idol twice before but was rejected both times, once for forgetting lyrics to a song. Perhaps her breakthrough Idol moment came when she finally wore a dress during a performance and sang Youve Changed. Thats when Glover began receiving a flood of tweets and mail about the inspiration she gave young girls.

President Johnson signs the 1964 Civil Rights Act in the East Room of the White House on live television
Lyndon Johnson
and the 1964 Civil Rights Act
by Sandra Battle-Moore
frican-Americans had fought for decades to gain the rights afforded them by the U.S. Constitution. Although Congress had enacted weak civil rights legislation in 1957 and 1960, both had been opposed, especially by southerners. In fact, Senator Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, then a Democrat, set a record for filibustering to prevent the 1957 bill from passing. His time at the podium: a long-winded 24 hours and 18 minutes. Meanwhile, the early 60s brought widespread civil unrest, especially in the South. Demonstrators protested in cities like Selma and Montgomery AL, Washington DC, and Rock Hill SC, just a few miles away from Sun City Carolina Lakes. Although President John F. Kennedy empathized with African-Americans, he asked them to be patient; he assured them they would eventually protect their rights. Blacks responded that they had been patient long enough and continued the peaceful, nonviolent protests. Segregationists, also unyielding, sought to maintain the social status quo. Some used dogs, hoses, and billy clubs to halt the peaceful protesters.
LBJ
Kennedys Bill Kennedy took action, as promised. The civil uprisings initiated his civil rights bill, which he presented at San Diego State College on June 11, 1963. Among its many provisions, the bill banned racial discrimination in public accommodations and allowed the U.S. government to take legal action against any state that operated segregated schools. Segregationists were determined to block passage of the bill, and it stalled in the House Rules Committee. When President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, Congress had still not passed the Civil Rights Act. On that same November day in 1963, Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson took office as president. In memory of President Kennedy, Johnson sought early passage of the Civil Rights Act. Yet Johnson, a southern Democrat from Texas, held little personal sympathy for the civil rights movement. Most of his friends and fellow Democrats also opposed the bill.
39
6/19/13 3:05 PM
Johnsons Change of Mind So what changed? Why did Johnson carry the banner for the civil rights of African-Americans? Assuming the role of the U.S. presidency precipitated the change. Johnson admired President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his New Deal laws, passed during the Great Depression. That series of bills, highly praised by some and strongly condemned by others, had helped the unemployed, improved the economy, and contained provisions to prevent future depressions. In much the same manner, Johnson wanted to leave a legacy of the Great Society, which in many ways resembled Roosevelts New Deal. The Great Society was a program to end poverty and racial injustice, and it provided funding for medical care and education, among other provisions. To Johnson, passage of the Civil Rights Act was essential to his Great Society program.
The Advocate And so the reconstructed southerner became a profound civil rights advocate. Kennedys death shocked America, but it added momentum to the bills passage. Moreover, Americans, especially in the North, had become increasingly angered by the brutal treatment of protesters. They wanted the abuse stopped. Nevertheless, Johnson faced an uphill battle to get the bill passed. Long skilled in the art of persuasion, Johnson watched and observed his constituents. He knew what they wanted. To get what he wanted, he bartered, intimidated, flattered, and promised favors to win the votes of lawmakers. Some called his actions the Johnson treatment.
Segregated lunch counters were flashpoints for racial tension across the South, including this one at a McCrory's store in Rock Hill SC.
In June 1963, President John F. Kennedy laid out his proposals for civil rights legislation on television before the American public. Johnson inherited the presidency upon Kennedy's assassination five months later, but not his passion for the Civil Rights Act.
40
6/19/13 3:05 PM
The Legacy With the passage of those acts, Congress protected all Americans against discrimination based on race, color, religion, or national origin. Schools and public facilities were opened to all. In addition, the act barred unequal voter registration requirementsand much, much more. When riots broke out in major cities across the country in the mid-1960s, Johnson believed African-Americans did not appreciate his efforts to champion civil rights He lost control of both the nations urban areas and the Democratic Party. Most important, he lost support for his Great Society. The passage of the civil rights acts was Johnsons greatest achievement, but he believed his legacy could not match Roosevelts. Johnson dropped out of the 1968 presidential campaignhis Great Society had failed and much of America was angry over the war in Vietnam. Feeling defeated, he cited health concerns and returned to his Texas ranch. Johnson suffered a massive heart attack and died on January 22, 1973, at the age of 64. He is survived by his civil rights legislation and that legacy lives on.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 extended the protections of the Bill of Rights to all Americans.
Johnsons persuasive tactics succeeded. The 88th Congress passed the Civil Rights Act, and on July 2, 1964, Johnson signed it into law. He won his battle, but he lost the southern vote. Undeterred, he used the same persuasive tactics to push the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and the Fair Housing Act of 1968 into law. Both strengthened the Civil Rights Act.
Lyndon Johnson, a Texan with a decided southern drawl, bartered, intimidated, flattered, and promised favors to win the votes of lawmakers. L

The 14th Amendment:

Little Known Gem of Our Constitution
By Rick Kremer
f you ask the average American which Amendments to the United States Constitution are most important, the ones cited most often are the First and Fifth. It is undeniable that the First Amendment is critical as it protects freedom of speech, free exercise of religion, the right to peaceably assemble, the right to petition the government for redress of grievances, the right of free association and freedom of the press. The Fifth Amendment, which assures due process of law, provides protection against self-incrimination and double jeopardy, mandates an indictment by a Grand Jury for capital crimes, and prohibits the taking of property without just compensation, is also quite significant. That said, a lesser-known enactment that has shaped our culture and legal landscape as much as any other is the Fourteenth Amendment. The Fourteenth Amendment was proposed on June 13, 1866 and formally adopted on July 9, 1868. Its ratification was bitterly contested, especially in the South. It was initially rejected in all Southern states except Tennessee, but by July 9, 1868, three-fourths (28 of 37) of the states had ratified the Amendment. South Carolina and Louisiana were the last states to ratify. The Amendment was eventually ratified by all 37 states that were then part of the Union, although that took over one hundred years to accomplish. The Amendment contains five sections covering a variety of matters, but it is Section 1 that has had the most far-reaching implications. The so-called Citizenship Clause of Section 1 formally defines
U.S. citizenship and provides protection against individual or political rights being abridged or denied by the State. The section effectively nullified the Dred Scott decision of the U.S. Supreme Court that had denied citizenship to former slaves. Although Congress had already enacted the Civil Rights Act of 1866, granting citizenship to anyone born in the United States, the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment wanted this principle made part of the Constitution so neither Congress nor the Supreme Court could alter it. The Due Process Clause of Section 1 provides that no state shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. Although there is also a due process clause included in the Fifth Amendment, that clause has been interpreted to bestow only procedural protections on citizens. In a line of cases beginning in 1897, the Supreme Court interpreted the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment as providing substantive protection for freedom of contract and rejected some forms of government social and economic regulation. By the 1960s, the Courts interpretation of substantive due process grew to include rights not specifically mentioned in the Constitution but that the Court said grew out of those enumerated rights. The Due Process Clause has also been used by the Court, under what is known as the incorporation doctrine, to apply most of the Bill of Rights (Amendments I through X) to the states (as opposed to the federal government). The Court has ruled that the Due Process Clause incorporates (and binds the states) as to all
42
6/19/13 3:05 PM
substantive provisions of the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth Amendments and the Cruel and Unusual Punishment Clause of the Eighth Amendment. Perhaps the most important part of Section 1 lies in the Equal Protection Clause. That clause makes it unconstitutional for any State to deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. It was included in the Amendment to protect the rights of black citizens against the Black codes enacted in many Southern states following the Civil War. Under those codes, blacks were denied the right to sue, give evidence, or be witnesses, and were subjected to harsher punishment for violations of law. The Equal Protection Clause was intended to prevent unequal administration of justice and protect the rights guaranteed to all men from being applied selectively.
As the interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment by the Supreme Court evolved, rights emerged that citizens today take for granted. In the seminal 1954 case of Brown v. Board of Education, the Court rejected the longstanding doctrine that separate but equal facilities for blacks and whites were permitted, and found that segregation itself was harmful to black students and therefore unconstitutional. The Courts decision in Brown was resisted by Southern states for several decades but its mandate of true equal protection was eventually implemented throughout the nation. In the years since Brown, the Court has extended the reach of the Equal Protection Clause to protect women and other historically disadvantaged groups. The impact of the Fourteenth Amendment on life in contemporary America cannot be understated. L

A Formal English Silver Place Setting

by Evelyn Nameroff
The cast of Downton Abbey sitting for a formal dinner. Editors Note:
Due to the interest of SCCL residents in the PBS television series Downton Abbey, the subject of formalities in the early 20th century came up for discussion at a meeting of our magazines Content Team. A volunteer staff member indicated she had a very unusual set of formal dinnerware she received as a gift many years ago. If you would like to participate in our Content Team meetings on Tuesday mornings at 9:00 in the Media Room of the Lake House, and see what you can contribute to our magazine, we would love to have you join us and get in on the always interesting conversations.
A single place setting of the formal set received by Evelyn Nameroff. As you might imagine, it is rarely used.
hen I was first married, my mother-in-law presented me with a chest full of silverware she had purchased in Bermuda in 1929 when her son was born. She had intended to give it to him when he got engaged. My mother-in-law told me that it was English silverware used for formal dinners. She expected me to have formal dinner parties. The chest was beautiful, with three drawers loaded with silverware. It turned out that it included 13-piece place settings for six people. Looking at the picture of the silverware, it is obvious that if you used all the settings at one sitting, no more than 6 people could fit around the dining table. Being a new bride and not knowing how to even use the silverware, I went to several jewelry stores to find someone who could teach me how each piece was to be used. Finally, after much searching, I found a lady who knew exactly what each piece was and how it was used. On the left side of the dinner plate are the shrimp fork, the salad fork, and the dinner fork. To the right side of the dinner plate are the dinner knife, steak knife, fish knife, bouillon soup spoon, teaspoon, and the demitasse spoon. Directly above the dinner plate is the cake fork,
iced tea teaspoon, and cube sugar tongs (only one cube sugar tong to the set). Note that the cake fork and the iced tea teaspoon are facing in opposite directions. The cake fork is unusual in that it has a unique pattern. Above the dinner plate is the soup bowl with the soup spoon in it. To the upper left of the dinner plate is the bread plate with the butter knife. At the upper right of the dinner plate, of course, is the teacup and saucer. Remember the movie Pretty Woman? Julia Roberts, as the unsophisticated heroine, was thrust into a dinner party at a fancy restaurant and was confronted with formal tableware. It was very amusing to see her struggle with knowing which utensil to use, until she was educated by the Maitre d. Now that you know what these pieces are for, you should have a much easier time at your next formal dinner party. We have used these pieces perhaps a half dozen times in more than 50 years. Many of the pieces are too large and cumbersome for most people to handle. L

Getting To Know You...

Oscar Hammerstein, Lyricist Extraordinaire
On the evening of September 1, 1960, the lights on Times Square in New York were blacked out for three minutes. Traffic was halted, and 5,000 people bowed their heads while taps was played. This unusual tribute was for Oscar Hammerstein, who had died in August of that year, but who had lit up Broadway with his wonderful music for almost forty years. Hammerstein was born in July, 1895 in New York City. His father was the manager of a well-known vaudeville theatre. One of his grandfathers was Horace Greeley and the other was a producer of operas. Although the family was in the theatre business, Hammersteins father did not want him to go down that road, encouraging him to study law instead. Oscars father died in 1914, while he was studying law at Columbia University. He then decided to become a performer in the 1915 Varsity Revue. Shortly thereafter, he became a theatre apprentice, learning the various crafts needed to produce a play. Eventually, he began writing scripts, and then musical comedies. His first play, Always You, for which he wrote both the book and the lyrics, opened in 1921. Over the next few years, he worked with some of the best composers in the country, including Lorenz Hart, Jerome Kern, and Sigmund Romberg. His collaboration with Jerome Kern produced Showboat, in 1925. This made Hammerstein a success as a writer and a lyricist. That success was followed by a decade or so in By Rita C. Arundell Hollywood, where he worked on musicals like Desert Song, with Sigmund Romberg. However, he did not care for the time demands of Hollywood. Returning to New York, he adapted Bizets Carmen, into an all-black Carmen Jones. This production received great acclaim. An acquaintance from his Columbia days, Richard Rodgers, contacted him and they began one of the most successful collaborations in musical theatre history, producing some of the finest musicals Broadway has even seen. The first, Oklahoma, opened in March, 1943 and was a great success. They continued this success with Carousel, Allegro, South Pacific, The King and I, Me and Juliet, Pipe Dream, Flower Drum Song, and The Sound of Music. Several of these musical shows had a social message. For instance, the song Youve Got to be Taught, in South Pacific, referred to prejudices against people whose eyes are oddly made or people whose skin is a different shade... The show won a Pulitzer Prize in 1950. Oklahoma had won a Pulitzer Prize in l944. Hammerstein won eight Tony Awards over the years.

Many of the songs written by this team (Hammerstein being the lyricist, and Rodgers the composer) are still played on radio and television today. The song Edelweiss was not an Austrian folk song, but one Hammerstein wrote for The Sound of Music. And many of the shows, especially Show Boat, continue to be reproduced. Those in the theatre business believe that Oscar Hammersteins legacy is that he brought the musical to a higher art form by making the story, not the music, central. It is believed that his work has influenced generations of lyricists and librettists. Hammerstein died of stomach cancer in l960 at his home in Pennsylvania. The Oscar Hammerstein Award for Lifetime Achievement in Musical Theatre is presented annually. Past winners include Carol Channing and Stephen Sondheim. There is an Oscar Hammerstein II Center for Theatre Studies at Columbia University. Some of his 850 songs include: "Ol Man River," "Some Enchanted Evening," "Shall We Dance," "Oklahoma," "The Last Time I Saw Paris," "It Might As Well Be Spring," "Cant Help Lovin Dat Man," "Edelweiss," "Indian Love Call," "Make Believe," "People Will Say Were In Love," and "Climb Every Mountain." In addition to the musicals mentioned above, Hammerstein also wrote: Sweet Adeline, Music in the Air, State Fair, Rose-Marie, Lady Be Good, Wildflower, Three Sisters, Very Warm for May, and The New Moon.

Oh my What Camera to Buy?
A new series...
By Greg Douglas
odays photo market is flooded with a multitude of digital cameras with many features to choose from, and new camera models come out every month. With so many choices, it is difficult to know where to start the selection of a new digital camera, so here are some points to consider. The first thing to think about is the type of photos you generally take. For example, if you take photos of animals, sports or landscapes, you will want a camera with a good telephoto (zoom) capability. If you frequently photograph people indoors or indoor scenes, you will want a camera with better low light capabilities. Many cameras are good at both but some are much better at either zooming or low light. There are several levels of cameras at varied price points: They include Point and Shoot and High End Point and Shoot. In the Digital Single Lens Reflex (DSLR) group, there are still others: Entrylevel DSLR; Pro-Sumer DSLR and Pro-level cameras.
DSLR cameras are for more advanced users, with more controllable features, but are bulkier and heavier. Consider your experience level when selecting a camera type. If you just want to take a nice photo with little fuss, look at the Point and Shoot level cameras. If you expect to do serious photography, with control of lens speed, light and shadow balance, and want many other controllable features, you should consider the more costly DSLR cameras. In terms of portability, Point and Shoot cameras are small, very light, and easy to carry, while DSLR cameras are heavier and bulkier and you may also want to carry one or more additional lenses and accessories. Dont get hung up on the megapixel count of the camera. This is mostly marketing hype. All digital cameras today have enough megapixels to create good prints up to 8x10 inches. Dont make your final choice based primarily on the cameras megapixels!
Point and Shoot cameras are smalland lightweight. 48

6/19/13 3:05 PM
Get your hands on the camera youre interested in to see how it feels. Can you work the buttons? Can you easily view the LCD screen menus on the back of the camera? Dont rely on the sales people at big box stores for advice; they know relatively little about cameras. Real camera stores are your best option to get good information on cameras and features that will work best for you; stores such as Biggs Camera or Cardinal Camera in Charlotte are your best options. Read the expert reviews and user reviews online for the camera(s) you are interested in purchasing! This will help you narrow down your choice of camera. Dont buy more camera than you need or you are just wasting your money. Find the camera that fits your needs and have fun capturing your memories. L

Happy Fourth of July
One flag, one land, one heart, one hand, One Nation evermore! Oliver Wendell Holmes Every lie is two lies the lie we tell others and the lie we tell ourselves to justify it. Robert Brault Sunday, July 7, is Tell the Truth Day. Can you go the full day without saying anything false or misleading? Some of us have a tendency to stretch the truth in order to make ourselves look good or not hurt someone we care about. Did you know that by doing this we are harming our health? Dr. Bryan Bruno, acting chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, believes that Lying less is not only good for your relationships, but for yourself as an individual. People may recognize the more devastating effects of lying on relationships, but they probably dont recognize the extent to which lying can cause internal stress. I think lying can cause a lot of stress for people, contributing to anxiety and even to depression. Anita Kelly, author and professor of psychology at the University of Notre Dame, presented a study on August 4, 2012 to the American Psychological Association about her findings on how honesty can boost a persons emotional and physical health. Participants consisted of 110 adults, ages 18-71. This study found that participants could purposefully and dramatically reduce their everyday lies and that, in turn, was associated with improved health. The study found that the average American tells about 11 lies a week. People participating in this study took the task of telling the truth seriously. For example, the research found participants were being more honest about their daily accomplishments instead of exaggerating them, and they stopped making up excuses for being late or for failing to complete a task. The subjects also came up with strategies to avoid lying, such as responding to tough questions with another question in order to distract the other person. The group cut down on their lying to from one to 50 LIVING @ SCCL July 2013

three times a week. They reported fewer mental health complaints, such as feeling sad or stressed, and fewer physical complaints, such as headaches or sore throats. Most of us dont realize how many times we exaggerate the truth or lie. Try this simple exercise. Each time you dont tell the truth, or you exaggerate something, write it down, and add up how many times this happens in a week. Once you become conscious of when you stretch the truth and make up stories, you will be motivated to make an effort to be more honest with your friends and family. Honesty may improve your mental and physical health. The study participants found that their close personal relationships improved and that their other social interactions became easier. If you tell the truth you dont have to remember anything. Mark Twain
Helpful Summer Tips *Keep medications safe in the hot weather. Dont put them in checked baggage or in vehicles parked in the sun. Dont let mail-order drugs sit outside in the heat. *Wear a hat to protect your face and head from cancercausing UV rays. Dark-colored styles with a brim at least three inches wide that points down are the most protective. You can purchase hats that are made from protective fabric at www.coolibar.com and www. sunprotectionhats.com. *Avoid insect stings by not wearing bee-attracting bright or floral patterned clothing and by not using perfume or scented soaps. Make sure, when eating outside, that food, drinks and garbage are covered. Apis, a homeopathic oral remedy that can be purchased at a health food or vitamin store, stops the itching and swelling of a bee or ant bite almost immediately.

*Whole milk will cool sunburn pain because lactic acid in milk reduces inflammation. Soak a washcloth in a bowl of cool milk, and then gently place it on the burned areas for about 20 minutes. Rinse with cool water. Apple cider vinegar relieves the itching from insect bites and athletes foot. Using a paper towel, dab apple cider vinegar on the bite to reduce the swelling and itching. Soak infected feet for 20 minutes in a mixture of three parts water and one part apple cider vinegar to kill athletes foot fungi. Mens Health Magazine *Drink plenty of liquids in the summer. Even mild dehydration can affect your mood and concentration. Researchers from the University of Connecticuts Human Performance Laboratory conducted a study where young women were given tests measuring concentration, memory and mood. Those with mild dehydration had an increase in perception of task difficulty and lower concentration. Make sure you have drinks on hand that contain electrolytes such as Gatorade or bottled water containing electrolytes. (Study published in the Journal of Nutrition.)

July is Sunflower Month?
July is sunflower month, in the Carolinas? I am from Kansas and that is our state flower. I know sunflowers as yellow with brown centers that turn their faces toward the sun. I looked up sunflowers in the Carolinas and found beach sunflowers, swamp sunflowers, Savannah sunflowers, Appalachian sunflowers, Jerusalem artichoke sunflowers, as well as sunflowers grown for their oil. It was noted that sunflowers grow better in the northern twothirds of the country than the lower one-third.
Gardening at SCCL
by Jeanette Oesterlin (The sunflower was named in honor of Lewis David von Schweinitz, a Moravian minister who lived in Salem NC, in the early 19th century.) There are only two counties (unnamed) in South Carolina where these can be found. Since we supposedly have them here, Lancaster must be one of those. They are on the list of endangered plants. If you really want to see one and cant spot it by looking over the fences, the North Carolina Zoo has an area dedicated to growing them known as the Piedmont Prairie. Oh, in case you are looking for a yellow flower with a brown center, that isnt it. It has a yellow center.
Schweinitzs sunflowers are very closely related to the Jerusalem artichoke or sunchoke that grows wild in the prairie states. The roots are tuberous and were Here at Sun City Carolina Lakes, eaten by early Native Americans, as we have one very important Schweinitzs sunflower well as many of todays citizens. They sunflower, Schweinitzs sunflower are similar to potatoes, taste like raw (Helianthus schweinitzii). It water chestnuts, and are available grows in one of the fenced protected areas. I use the term grows loosely because I in some grocery stores. There are over 200 varieties of have never seen it, but at one time it was growing there. Jerusalem artichokes. Today they are used mostly in the

manufacture of alcohol and fructose. Hmmm, maybe that is why they are hard to find in the Piedmont; our early settlers knew their real value. Thanks to the long, wet spring, I have seen many beautiful wildflowers on the Catawba trail. I cant tell you their names but they have been spectacular. There have been beautiful blue bells, several bright yellow varieties, and a spectacular white lily. There have also been some that look strangely like flower pots and beer cans. This is our home and I hate to see it look like the local Fox Hole dump. I doubt that the workmen have planted the foil wrapped pots. Please take your trash home and dispose of it properly. Vegetable gardens should be in full production this month. Watch for squash bugs and their eggs on the underside of leaves of squash, pumpkins, and potatoes. They can be squashed by hand or trapped under a board in the heat of the day and killed. Potatoes can be harvested when the tops are mostly yellow. Flower gardens may be looking a little less than their best. Be sure to cut old blooms to encourage more forming. If coleus, salvia, cleomes, petunias and
portulaca are looking straggly, cut off the branch tips a few inches. They will become bushier and increase their blooming. Garden mums should be snipped back so that they do not get too tall when they begin to bloom. This a good time to put out zinnia seeds for late summer blooms. July can be hot and dry. A sprinkle a day does NOT help your yard or plants. They need about 1 inch of rain a week. Two waterings of one-half inch each is most effective. It encourages deep rooting and plants will show less stress. Constant watering leaches out much fertilizer and makes for weak plant growth. Roses can be allowed to rest this month. That means no fertilizer. It is difficult to provide enough water to support the new growth resulting from fertilizer. Trim off dead blooms. Next month you can continue your fertilizing to promote fall blooms. Oh, I forgot, the Schweinitzs sunflower probably wont bloom until September, so dont go looking for it now. L

What s Up?
The Summer Sky
by Leon Ognibene
his year, the summer night sky is especially exciting, with the planet Saturn and the super giant star Antares in the constellation Scorpio. Each holds many secrets of our universe, so lets get stared. To find Saturn, just look for the brightest star in the southern sky between 8:00 and 11:00 p.m. To the naked eye, Saturn looks like a bright yellowish star, about 70 degrees above the southern horizon. You will not be able to see Saturns rings without binoculars or a small telescope. Saturn is the second largest planet after Jupiter and is hundreds of times larger than Earth! Saturn has over 50 moons but four of them are very large, including Titan, the second largest moon in the solar system. You can observe the four large moons as they orbit Saturn with binoculars or small telescope.
Telescopic view of Saturn and its four visible moons.
Galileo was the first to observe Saturn with the telescope he invented. He was the first to describe the ring and and the four large moons in 1610, from a bell tower just across the water from St. Marks Square in Venice. His first telescope was crude and when he first observed Saturns rings, he wrote that Saturn appeared to have ears! That bell tower was the first place anyone ever observed the heavens using a telescope. Galileos observations led

to the revolutionary idea that Earth revolves around the sun. Before Galileo, it was common knowledge that all heavenly bodies revolved around the earth! So much for common knowledge! Much lower in the southern sky you will observe a reddish orange star called Antares. It is a super giant star, a thousand times larger than our sun! Its color indicates its cool temperature- only about 4000 degrees Fahrenheit on the surface. Thats low for a star! Our average yellow sun has a surface temperature of 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit.
dollars that let you aim the iPad around the sky to see every planet, star and constellation! Take it outside on a clear night and you will instantly make the night sky come alive. Youll see all the planets and constellations labeled clearly. It even works inside if you cant go out. I was stunned the first time I tried this and I know the night sky very well as a former planetarium director. As you move the iPad around to observe the sky, it even plays ethereal music like you would hear in a planetarium! Its truly amazing technology so be sure to try it. If you observe the area just left of the scorpions stinger with quality binoculars or a telescope (or iPad), you will be able to see many star clusters and thousands of distant stars near the center of our Milky Way galaxy. The center of our galaxy also contains hundreds of massive black holes. You cant see them, but their collective gravity keeps the stars in our galaxy from flying out into deep space. If a black hole did come near earth, it could swallow our planet in a few seconds and keep going on its way! We would just cease to exist! Luckily there are no black holes anywhere near our solar system. Isnt it amazing we can just look out into the sky and see such wonders? So now you know Whats Up in the summer sky. Share these wonders with your family and neighbors. Its all coming to a sky near you and its free! L
The stars of the Scorpio constellation form the tail, body, and pincers of the claws. Antares, on the head, appears to radiate life to the mythological creature.
All stars get their energy by fusing together many smaller hydrogen atoms to make larger atoms like helium carbon, oxygen, and iron. Antares is cool and reddish orange because it is running out of hydrogen fuel. When a star starts to run out of fuel, it starts to expand into a red giant and that explains its huge size, cool temperature, and reddish color. Antares is in the constellation Scorpio, Latin for the Scorpion. Antares is the red heart of a giant scorpion. Its a very large constellation that dips low in the southern sky. If you want to observe Scorpio, pick a dark observation spot with no light pollution and a clear view of the southern horizon (see Scorpio picture above).

Saying...
"Thanks for your Service."
Text and Photos by Neil Webner
ndependence was fought for and won not just on July 4, 1776, when the American colonies declared their independence from the tyrannies of an English parliament. It has been fought for and won by American servicemen and women throughout our nations history. And the fight continues, as it must, to maintain the independence we have known for 237 years. July 4, 2013, Independence Day, is yet another opportunity to thank those whose sacrifice in service to our nation helps to preserve our freedoms. So the next time you spot a vehicle license plate with a military designation, say Thank you for your service. Here are a few such plates we found on the vehicles of some of our residents.
Bill Kent reflects on the military experience that qualified him for the Purple Heart license tag on his minivan to go with his medal. The Purple Heart is awarded to those who have been wounded or killed in active combat.

Friends of Hadassah
On Sunday, May 19, eighteen members of the Friends of HadassahInterest Group gathered together at the Lake House to prepare 98 home-cooked meals forJewish Family Services of Charlotte.Each member cooked a portion of the meal - chicken, meatloaf, meatballs, or salmon as the main course, and a plethora of side dishes - rice, potatoes, noodles and vegetables. With cash donations fromour members, we were able to purchase dinner rolls, cookies, brownies, muffins, and macaroons to complete the meal.
The May 6 presentation by Arlene McCarthy on Estate Planning on the Web was very informative. Arlene gave us websites where Estate Planning Forms can be downloaded at minimal cost. Bob Cotto gave an interesting presentation on May 13 on The Cloud and the many choices available to us for storage. Although Bob did have technical problems, none of which were his fault, he gave an excellent and very interesting presentation, and answered many questions regarding all the services and options open to us.
An Evening at the Ritz with the Ballroom Dance Club
Ballroom Dance
In May, the Ballroom Dance Club, dressed to the nines, enjoyed an Evening at the Ritz. We danced to live music provided by the wonderful 19-piece Charlotte Jazz Band. The ballroom was decorated with black tablecloths, top hats and white gloves to fit our theme. Judging by the continually full dance floor and smiles, the evening was enjoyed by all. Whether you have been dancing for years, or just wish you could dance, you are welcome in our Club! We are a very social, friendly group who help each other with the dance steps and encourage one another. Few of us consider ourselves excellent dancers, but we all agree that dancing is fun, and we are getting better! Learning to dance is not a quickly learned skill. But we have a professional instructor who teaches us a few basic figures in each of the traditional ballroom dance styles to

get us started. With practice, we can all make our way happily around the dance floor. The club is attempting to meet the needs of both beginner dancers who need basic skills, and intermediate dancers who are ready for more variety and variations. In the past, we have focused on traditional ballroom dances--waltz, foxtrot, swing, cha-cha, tango, and rumba. However, we are now beginning to branch out into some non-ballroom dances, those that can be danced to more current music styles. We have enjoyed learning the shag, which is danced to typical beach music, and is the official South Carolina state dance. We have decided to add the Texas TwoStep and perhaps the hustle to our list. Adding these dances to our repertoire, we will be able to dance
to any music wherever we go--NO EXCUSES! Our social dances are held the first Wednesday of every month. Take your very first step--join us! Submitted by Chris Organek

Bocce Ball
The 2nd Annual Spring Bocce Ball Social Event was held at the SCCL Pavilion on May 3rd in the early evening. The weather was just perfect after the cold spring we experienced here in SC. There were approximately 125 Club Members at the event to enjoy 521 BBQ, DJ Dixie, and the Hinson Girls. DJ Dixie was great as always as he always connects with the audience.
The Hinson Girls, Bluegrass musicians, are very talented and were extremely well received by the attendees. The Hinsons performed for about an hour. We learned that they write some of their own songs, amazing, so much talent, and right here in our backyard. Session III Bocce Ball Leagues began on May 6th with 7 leagues. Over 225 Club Members will be playing in the Session III leagues. Our Fun Leagues continue to play on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9am to 11am. We invite any SCCL residents to come out on Tuesday and Thursday mornings to play in these informal leagues. You do not have to be a SCCL Bocce Club Member to play in the Fun Leagues.

They dined at a little restaurant called Blessing Cafe in Locust that the breakfast crew hopes to visit on a Wednesday ride. The caf is closed on Sunday. Im also told the winter has dissolved some important calluses that need to be built back up in a particularly tender and frequently used area. In June, a weeklong ride called The Magical History Tour has become an annual ritual. Ken Obriot spends considerable time searching out historical sites and making sleeping arrangements. This year he is taking the group through North Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee. Hopefully, Mother Natures disposition will remain cheery.

Pickleball
Pickleball, Costa Rican Style With monkeys cheering you on, iguanas giving you the cold stare, and some funny looking raccoon/ pig face/monkey tail thing ready to steal the pickle, playing Pickleball in Costa Rica is an unique experience. During the first week in May, fourteen SCCL Pickleball and non-Pickleball players from SCCL traveled to the Westin Playa Conchal, an all-inclusive resort on the Pacific Ocean in Costa Rica. We joined 240 other players from thirtytwo states. The tennis courts at the resort were quickly turned into Pickleball courts via brightly colored tape. Demonstrations and lessons began on Friday and were followed by a carefree, non-competitive tournament on Saturday. The players ranged from beginners to 5.0 players. Everyone was friendly and willing to help at all levels. The remainder of the week included other lessons, demonstrations, and free play. It was fun, relaxing, and a tremendous learning experience.

Audrey Phillips, a San Diego resident, was the dynamo that organized the week. But it wasnt just about Pickleball as many other activities were available. We participated in snorkeling, horseback riding, zip-lining, and golf. Some others kayaked, went on eco-tours,
and did a river cruise through the rain forest. Audrey was so friendly and available that everyone enjoyed the week. Audrey apparently loves to do this because she already has plans for 2014. Next years trip will be a choice of two weeks: the last week in March and the first week in April as she is trying to accommodate more players.
The destination is Mexico between Cancun and Playa del Carmen. Come and join other Pickleballers from around the U.S. Youre sure to have a great time. Oh, and we all learned some Costa Rican Spanish sayings such as Pura Vida - Its a Good Life. Yes, it certainly is! Submitted by Donna Maguire

Mamas Pizza & Pasta

8356 Charlotte Hwy, Suite 109 Indian Land SC 29707 (located in Publix Shopping Center) 803-802-3336 Hours Tuesday to Saturday 11:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. Sunday 11:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m. Closed Mondays Delivery offered 4:00 - 9:30 p.m.
e first visited Mamas Pizza & Pasta for lunch during its soft opening, when this new kid on the block had only been open for 10 days. The meal proved to be very pleasant, offering good fresh food and excellent service. After being greeted and seated by Holly, our waitress, we were also welcomed by Kathy, an owner. Kathy described Mamas cuisine as home-cooked Italian. Menu items are homemade, and the pizza is New York style with the dough freshly made on the premises. Mamas now seats approximately 70 diners, but Kathy indicated limited outside patio dining is planned for the future. Our party chose seating in a comfortable, roomy window-adjoining booth, which could easily accommodate a group of 4 to 6 diners. The menu was found to be well-organized, easy to read but not so easy to make a choice from; everything sounded delicious. Appetizers ranging in price from garlic bread at $2.95 to fried calamari at $7.95 were followed by a category of flatbreads at $6.95. Next were the usual pasta offerings, such as baked ravioli at $9.95. Mamas Special, at $12.95, consisted of veal and eggplant parmigiana. Chicken, veal and seafood dishes were priced from $9.95 to $17.95, the later being Frutti di Mare, shrimp, scallops, clams and mussels in marinara sauce, a must-try in the future. Then came heros, calzones, stromboli and a Kids Menu with seven offerings from $4.95 to $6.95, followed by the pizzas! Pizzas consisted of a few tasty-sounding traditionals with thin crust, followed by Gourmet Pizzas and Mamas Signature Pizzas, including meat lovers,
white pizzas and square pizzas. Pizza prices begin at $10.95 for 14 thin crust, up to $18.95 for Zesty Sicilian topped with artichoke hearts, capers, HOT cherry peppers, olives, onions, plum tomato sauce, parmesan cheese and fresh mozzarella. No desserts were listed, nor did we inquire if any were available. Our health conscious diner ordered Balsamic Marinated Chicken salad for $8.95. The grilled chicken, red onion, pear, feta cheese over baby spinach, with requested balsamic dressing on the side, was served very promptly. This appetizing, colorful and tasty dish was plentiful enough for two meals. Two fellow diners received their lunch a while after the first diners lunch was served. They split the chicken spinach flatbread at $6.95. Bread for the table was not offered, although garlic bread with or without cheese is an appetizer selection, as mentioned above. The flatbread was perfectly cooked, light and crunchy and topped by flavorfully seasoned sliced chicken breast, cooked spinach, not too heavily dosed with garlic and sprinkled with feta and oozing hot, melted mozzarella. This proved to be plenty for two diners at eight medium sized pieces, and leftovers were promptly wrapped for take home. As our afternoon plans included a movie, our waitress thoughtfully offered to save our leftovers for us in the refrigerator until our return toward home later in the afternoon. Quite a thoughtful gesture to be sure! We all look forward to future visits to Mamas, a neat, cheery, welcoming, conveniently located restaurant, for more pizza and pasta, and we say welcome to the neighborhood! L
