Day of Caring: Biggest in nation
Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2008
|
My heart is bursting with pride for this amazing community, which completed the nation's largest Day of Caring on Sept. 11, with 5,500 people painting, cleaning, landscaping, building, sorting, filing, reading to children and refurbishing a whole neighborhood in those 'Live United' shirts.

Bipartisan parental pride
Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2008
|
The rising volume and degenerating tone of the presidential race feed the illusion that the opposing tickets have virtually nothing in common. But on one highly personal level, three of the four people on those tickets have something special in common.

Let the private sector soar
Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2008
|
The term "free market" has taken a misinformed beating amid the furor over whether — and how — Washington should have "bailed out" the nation's reeling financial sector. But despite that "rescue," and Monday's continuing stock-price dive, the free market can still rise to inspiring heights, as demonstrated on Sept. 28 when a privately financed rocket made history by reaching Earth's orbit.

S.C. banks are safe and sound
Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2008
|
Everyone knows fear can make a person do strange things. Watching the Dow Jones industrial average plunge 777 points in one day last week was enough to set anyone's nerves on edge.
Amid the financial and political fallout, one thing to understand: South Carolina banks are safe and sound and are still the best place for your financial needs.
With every passing news report, we wonder how closely we, the citizens of a small Southern state with our Main Street businesses and busy lives, are linked to Wall Street's catastrophes.

Avoid tragedy of house fire
Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2008
|
Last winter, Charleston mom Toya Simmons, her 3-year-old daughter at her side, opened her oven to check on a frozen pizza she was cooking for dinner.
'There were flames,' she says. 'The oven was on fire.'
While pushing Jayla back, Simmons quickly shut the oven door and hit the 'off' button on the appliance. Then the pair watched as the flames died down.

Stories about actual events make best tales
Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2008
|
In my heart of hearts, and as dearly as I love all kinds of stories, I think the best stories are the true stories.
"Two Bobbies: A True Story of Hurricane Katrina, Friendship, and Survival" is a perfect example. Bobbi (the hearing-impaired dog) and Bob Cat (who was blind) survived Hurricane Katrina. "They did it by lending each other a paw."
Even when the friends were safe with rescuers, Bobbi's howling and barking and Bob Cat's endless pacing let the shelter workers know that they could not be separated. Children (and adults) will love this story.

Paying another parenting tribute to Mom
Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2008
|
This column is a tribute to my favorite 'parenting expert,' my mother, Mary Hill Gaston Flagler, who died on Oct. 31, 2006, at age 81. The column was a favorite among longtime readers when it first ran soon after her death.
Nobody would baby-sit for us. But somehow my mother made raising my three sisters, two brothers and me look easy. If she tired of the meals, the laundry, the antics, she disguised it well. My mother lived on the bright side.

Waiting may not make divorce easier
Tuesday, Oct. 7, 2008

My wife and I have talked about divorce for years. Now that our kids are 13 and 14, we really do not agree on parenting and we are thinking about making the break, but we wonder if we shouldn't wait until the younger is 18 and off to college.
