Most wonderful time ... for holiday fun

Ice skating will be one of the many activities availableif you head to Daniel Island’s Holiday Festival onSaturday.


Forecast is for snow for 21st annual Reindeer RunW hile the world

seems to want tostart the Christ-

mas holiday season the dayafter Halloween, I easilymanage to hold off gettinginto the spirit until afterThanksgiving. The firstSaturday in December oftengets me going.

For most of the past 21years, the season kicks offfor me with the annualReindeer Run in downtownCharleston, where some ofthe more fun-loving par-ticipants run or walk inholiday costumes and manybring decked-out dogs. It’sthe imaginative costumes— due largely to a very com-petitive costume contest —and the race’s holiday themethat will get the grumpiestGrinch to smile.

People tend to hangaround a little longer for

post-race festivities becauseof the contest, complimen-tary beer at the race hostsite, Southend Brewery, andmusic. This year, the Cordo-vans will perform.

The run starts at 9 a.m.Saturday in front of South-end on East Bay Street.

This year’s event may beeven more festive — thenearby Vendue Inn plans tomake it snow.

The inn has purchasedthree snow machines to useduring the holidays, spe-cifically Thursdays through

Saturdays in December, andwill debut the snow at theReindeer Run, according toJude Wagner, the inn’s chef.In conjunction with the run,Wagner said the inn alsowill have carolers and SantaClaus stationed in front ofthe hotel and restaurantduring the event, which lastsmost of the morning.

As for the event itself,Charleston Charitable Soci-ety race director CameronWidman said the group ishoping to register 3,500 peo-ple, and that registration lastweek was ahead of last year’syear-to-date record of 3,100.She adds, “We hope that thegood weather forecast willhold out so more people willcontinue to register.”

The forecast, as of Tuesday,looks promising with cooltemperatures and nearly nochance of rain.

More than half of thepeople who register for theReindeer Run are not com-petitive enough to even askfor a timing chip, whichis the only way to get anaccurate count of the ac-tual number who do the 5Kroute that starts and ends infront of Southend.

Last year’s 1,740 finishersset a new record by 307, setin 2007. With prize moneyfor top finishers, it also drewKenyan Julius Kogo andRussian Ludmila Stepanova,who crushed previous finishrecords with times of 14:09and 16:59, respectively.

Ultimately, the ReindeerRun is about raising moneyfor charity.

Widman said last year’sevent raised $71,000 for theMedical University of SouthCarolina Children’s Hospi-tal and $17,000 for the Char-

itable Society of Charleston’sEndowment Fund with

the Coastal CommunityFoundation. Through itshistory, the event has raised$440,000 for the hospital.

Widman said the chari-table society’s goal for thisyear is $90,000.

All that fun and fundrais-ing isn’t free. Registrationfor those who want to betimed is $35 and must becompleted by Friday. The feefor walkers is $30; partici-pants with a dog also mustregister their pup for $10.In-person registration andpacket pick-up is 11 a.m.-6:30 p.m. Friday at GaillardAuditorium. Race-day reg-istration is $40 for everyone,and it doesn’t include tim-ing tags and must be donebetween 7 and 8 a.m. atSouthend.

O n Friday night,shake your booty fora good cause at the

22nd annual Cabooty Holi-day Party at MemmingerAuditorium. BenefitingSouth Carolina’s childrenwith cancer, all proceeds goto Camp Happy Days.

The party will feature en-tertainment by Plane Jane,heavy hors d’oeuvres and afull bar. And attendees canbid in a silent and live auc-tion for prizes such as tworound-trip tickets to SanDiego for a one-week stayin a Mission Beach condo,a hunting trip, deep-seafishing trip and 12 monthsworth of dinners aroundCharleston.

“Give back by having agood time,” said party or-ganizer Allan “Cabooty”Cabading. “Most peoplecan’t always deal with theemotion of seeing a child ina hospital. Here, it’s easierto give back while having agood time.”

The activities that chil-dren and their siblingscan enjoy at the weeklongCamp Happy Days includeparasailing, boating, artsand crafts, team building,and entertainment such asmagicians and music. “Wejust give them everything

we can think of doing that isfun in one week, other thansitting in a hospital, goingthrough therapy and gettingnauseous from medica-tion,” Cabading said. “A lotof these kids live for thiscamp.”

Cabading would knowthis better than anyone.He is one of Camp HappyDays’ first counselors. “I gotinvolved at age 18 and amprobably the longest run-ning counselor. I’m in my24th or 25th camp now,”he said. “I’ve watched thesechildren grow.

“... This is helping and be-ing a part of seeing thesekids grow, see them gradu-ate high school. Some ofthese kids come back andbecome counselors, too.The biggest reward is seeingthem go through and comeback and continue to giveback.”

Cabading is a survivor ofchildhood Hodgkin’s dis-ease. He knows firsthandfrom his own experiencesand from his time withCamp Happy Days aboutthe life of a child with can-cer. “I’ve been to the hospi-tals,” he said.

“And the hardest part ishaving to go to a funeral,that’s the hardest part forme of being involved. Youjust have to look at the timeyou spent with them, thejoy that you brought, youhave to look at the positives.You can’t put a price on thesmile, the joy and the happi-ness you bring a child. Youjust have to do what you canfor them while you’re here.”

Doing what he can whilehe’s here is what got this an-nual holiday party started22 years ago. Beginning as atree-trimming party, it soonbecame a canned goodscollection for the homeless,then a fundraiser for CampHappy Days. Cabading’sevent outgrew his apart-ment, then houses in MountPleasant and Daniel Island,then the Omar Shrine Tem-ple and The Citadel AlumniHouse before it settled —for now — at MemmingerAuditorium.

“My dream is to raise over$100,000,” Cabading said.“It would pay for over aweek’s worth of camp.”

‘Melancholia’ will bring on winter bluesBY COLIN COVERTStar Tribune (Minneapolis)

If you can’t wait for yourwinter depression to kickin, race to “Melancho-

lia,” the latest avalancheof artistic angst from Larsvon Trier. This one makes“Schindler’s List” look like“High School Musical.”

I say this not to mock, butin a tone of thunderstruckawe. No moviemaker I knowcreates psychodramas sohard to watch and difficultto forget. If we esteem SylviaPlath, Vincent van Goghand Samuel Beckett, vonTrier deserves our attention,too. His work is a reminderthat whenever you thinkthings can’t get worse, theycan. They can get much,much worse.

We know straightawaythat “Melancholia’s” charac-ters are doomed. A sensual-ly ravishing prologue set tothe Love/Death theme fromWagner’s “Tristan and Isol-de” puts the stars in scenesof eerie peril before we’veeven met their characters.The cataclysmic final shot ofthis prelude shows anotherplanet colliding with Earth.Let no one say they didn’tknow what to expect.

The story follows Justine

(Kirsten Dunst), a newbride with deep emotionalproblems; Claire (Char-lotte Gainsbourg), hernurturing sister; and John(Kiefer Sutherland), Claire’swealthy, highly rationalhusband, who is hostingJustine’s lavish wedding.

The facade of order cracks

as Justine sabotages the cer-emony, sensing that disas-ter is about to render suchpledges meaningless. WhileClaire tends to Justine, Johnponders the new planet inthe heavens. Scientists dubit Melancholia and proclaimthat it will be a spectacu-lar fly-by. Each character

must come to grips with themounting evidence that thescientists are wrong.

Dunst displays new ma-turity in her role. Early on,she’s stuck in a limousinetoo long to make a sharpturn in the road. Her delightin the comical mishap looksgenuine. A few scenes later,

the light in her eyes goesout like a candle. When shesays, “I’m trying, I’m reallytrying” to regain her equi-librium, you sense her emo-tional undertow.

Sutherland’s role is a com-pelling portrait of a stuffedshirt deflating in fear.Gainsbourg gives Claire pa-

thos and gravity.The supporting cast is top-

rank, including Stellan andAlexander Skarsgard, JohnHurt, Charlotte Ramplingand German character actorUdo Kier contributing vitalcomic relief as a high-strungwedding planner.

The planet-crushing im-pact with Melancholia wipesthem all away, an image ofArmageddon that brilliantlyrepresents devastating de-pression. This is the way theworld ends, with a bang anda whimper.

‘P ick” is the operativeword in the nameof James Island’s

latest player in the Thairestaurant field. Pick as inpicking a winner. The steadyhand and patience shownin the artful carvings inthe dining room also canbe found in the vibrant andpoised cooking from thekitchen.

What looks like a formerpizza place has been fash-ioned into a minimally sizedrestaurant (seven tables)painted battleship gray andblack. A carved screen buf-fers the unisex bathroomfrom the sightlines of thediners, and a spirit house ofsorts occupies a corner table.

On it you will find incense,fresh orchids and gifts offood and in-season, intri-cately carved melons. Kaisa luk, the art of fruit andvegetable carving, is dis-played at Pick with graceand skill. In late fall, finelycarved bars of soap replacethe melon family of summer— delicate flowers, mythi-cal figures, ornate blossomsdecorate the altar. All goodomens for knife skills in thekitchen, and the kitchen didnot disappoint.

Chris and Ken Sue are pro-ducing some of the more vi-brant Thai cooking aroundtown.

Expect to see a daily spe-cials board with local fishand seasonal salad ingredi-ents. Their carry-out busi-ness is brisk, and their por-tions are generous. Pricesare a tad higher than manyAsian restaurants around

town, but the quality of theingredients, the freshness ofthe herbs and the core reci-pes are well worth it.

The same craftsmanshipdemonstrated in the carvedsoaps can be seen in thepaper-thin slices of buttonmushrooms (not the moretraditional straw mush-rooms) floating in the tomkha kai ($7.95), a generousbowl that serves two. Thecoconut milk broth tastedfreshly made, and thinstems of cilantro and ovalrings of scallions perk upthe milky white liquid withverdant color.

The larbs (sour salads)($6.95) are fresh, well-seasoned and spiced. Fra-grant with toasted ricepowder and bright with abalanced lime dressing andchilies, they open your taste-buds for the Thai treats tofollow. Think of these as thesteak Tartar of Thailand —an ancient and simple dishthat cools and refreshes.

Service is polite and thestaff checks back on a regu-lar basis to be sure the foodis to your liking. The tradi-tional puang prik or condi-ment caddy is served withan American nod to salt andpepper as well as the Thainam prik (paste of chiles)and prik, dried chiles.

An order of red curry duck($18.95) served with steamedjasmine rice possessed theclarity of flavors that makesthis dish exceptional: lay-ered heat, succulent meat,rounded curry spices with a“broken” sauce. The duck’sskin was crisp and its fleshtender, poised with crunchand softness in a wash of vi-brant sauce.

The kitchen at Pick Thaigrills the eggplant for its ba-sil eggplant ($10.95) entree,and the addition of char en-hances the taste of this dish,which can be ordered withyour protein of choice. Ten-der “noodles” of pork werethe perfect partners to theonions, bell peppers and ba-sil that comprised this dish.

The use of fresh ingredi-ents such as bamboo shoots,vegetable garnishes and redshallots lifted the clarity offlavors in the dishes weordered.

The dessert menu isanchored in the foods ofThailand, and the kitchenmakes homemade Thai teaand coconut ice creams. A

thin roti (pancake) is filledcrepelike with a condensedmilk and sugar custard. ThePortuguese influence onthe foods of Thailand canbe seen in the custard offer-ings. When it comes to Thaidessert basics, Pick doesnot stray. Look for coconut,palm sugar and sticky riceto prevail.

The beverage menu ofbeers and wines is limited.A chilled Singha will com-plement your eating experi-ence.

When it comes to the lot-tery of picking an authenticAsian restaurant aroundtown, Pick Thai has the win-ning number.

Verde’s salads make others green with envyBY ROB YOUNGSpecial to The Post and Courier

V irginia Tech gradu-ates Jennifer and SamFerrebee recently

opened Verde, nurturingthe former Bruegger’s Bagelslocation into a smartly de-signed spot awash in greentones. It feels and eats fresh.

The restaurant maintains abounty of veggies and fruits.The ingredient list stretches50-plus, ranging from “A” to“W,” or avocado, apples andartichoke hearts to wasabipeas. It’s a stash you wishyour kitchen contained.

Verde even has a Boylansoda fountain, a traditionalNorthern brand that makesits beverages — birch beer,black cherry, sugar canecola, ginger ale, root beer, etal. — with pure cane sugarrather than corn syrup.

Now, you can build yourown salad here, maybe mixin a few grape tomatoes,shredded carrots, beets,roasted red peppers, cilantroleaves, cornbread croutons,and set it over a bed of babyspinach or mesclun greenswith chipotle lime vinai-grette or Green Goddessdressing. Or you could leaveit to the experts; all thosechoices can be paralyzing.

Verde serves nine signa-ture dishes, and each can be

tossed, chopped or wrapped.Witness the Southern

harvest ($8.95), a mean mixof mesclun greens, roastedchicken, apples, pecans,cornbread croutons andsweet tea vinaigrette, aSouthern-inspired dressingmade of honey, cider vinegarand — naturally — sweet-ened tea.

There’s also a BLT offeredwith classic buttermilkdressing; curried beet; theFarmers Market ($7.95),doctored up with avocado,hearts of palm, sunflowerseeds and Green Goddess;and a Mandarin orangechoice featuring roastedshrimp, wasabi peas andwasabi honey dressing.

Any of the picks shouldinspire confidence.

Verde, be it for taste orhealth, doesn’t steer dinerswrong.

I ask you,the recipient, to give to yourfavorite charity or to yourlocal hospital, High schoolart program, artist organiza-tion, Museum in town or toa favorite artist or friend thatis struggling or in need, etc.”

A Lowcountry holidayCelebrate the season this weekend(and beyond) with these free eventsBY DENISE K. JAMESSpecial to The Post and Courier

As thoughts of Thanksgiving leftovers fade,a lot of us probably have the next round

of holidays on the brain. The Lowcountry willlight up this weekend with festive happeningsfor all ages, so go ahead and indulge in someseasonal cheer.Charleston

The Tree of Lights at Marion Square FILE/STAFF

The city of Charleston will be afestive place this weekend.

The Tree of Lights, the city’sChristmas tree, will brighten Mar-ion Square on Saturday, but SantaClaus has to find his way therefirst. (It’s a yearly tradition to helphim find the tree-lighting party.)

“Every year, Santa has difficul-ties locating Marion Square,” saidEllen Dressler Moryl, director ofthe city Office of Cultural Affairs.“Either all of our church steeplesmake navigating the sleigh hardor the reindeer make a wrong turn— it’s always something. One year,a helicopter had to go and get him.It’s a different outcome every year.”

But eventually, Santa alwaysmakes it to Marion Square. Thenhe and Mayor Joe Riley are ableto light up the Christmas tree to achorus of “oohs” and “aahs.”

“It’s a wonderful family and kid-friendly event,” Dressler Moryl said.

The community-decorated treesin Marion Square also will be ahighlight during the ceremony,which runs 4:30-6:30 p.m.

Trees are decorated by com-munity groups and schools, andthe winners are announced at thetree lighting. Participants thisyear include West Ashley MiddleSchool, James Island ChristianSchool, Montessori CommunitySchool and Orange Grove Elemen-tary. The trees will be on displaythrough Dec. 31.

For those who want to cram asmuch fun as possible into Saturdaynight, head to Charleston Harborand watch the last leg of the Pa-rade of Boats immediately afterthe tree-lighting ceremony.

Vessels will be festively decoratedfor the holidays and will sail fromthe Mount Pleasant side near ShemCreek around 5:30 p.m., travelaround Charleston Harbor to theArthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, thenback down the Charleston side tofinish in the Ashley River about7:30 p.m. A fireworks show isscheduled to begin about 6:45 p.m.

The Parade of Boats is a joint ef-fort between the Office of CulturalAffairs and the Charleston Sailand Power Squadron, which is anorganization that promotes boat-ing safety.

If you want to continue the holi-day fun on Sunday, the 31st an-nual Christmas Parade will beginabout 2 p.m. at Calhoun and Meet-ing Streets. Bands, floats, marchersand performers will proceed downKing Street to Broad Street, then toLockwood Drive.

And a little further down theroad, on Dec. 20, a 9-foot-tall me-norah will be lit by Charleston’sHolocaust survivors at Chanukahin the Square. From 4-6 p.m.,Marion Square will overflow withmusic, dancing, crafts and treats.

And the candles on the Kwanzaakinara will be lit Dec. 26.

The Swedish-born singer-songwriter left home whenhe was 16 to roam the globeand found a home in NewOrleans’ thriving musicscene. He faced homeless-ness, drug and alcohol ad-diction, and the loss of hismother and grandmother.

His 1995 album, “WhichWay to Here,” scored twotop-five singles, “FavoriteSon” and “Pleasin’ You.”

He co-wrote two songs onKeb’ Mo’s 1998 Grammy-winning album, “SlowDown,” and Tim McGraw’sNo. 1 single, “Watch theWind Blow,” in 2004.

Osborne’s 2007 album,

“Coming Down,” was nomi-nated for an IndependentMusic Award for Album ofthe Year in the folk singer-songwriter category.

Anyone who followed thelocal music scene in the1980s will remember theKiller Whales. In addition

to getting a shotat bigger stardomwhen they appeared

on “Star Search” (sort of the’80’s equivalent of “AmericanIdol”), the band released agreat album, “Emotional Ge-ography,” and enjoyed a bit offame before real life loomedlarge and broke up the band.

Killer Whales frontmanDavid Bethany has contin-ued to write and performmusic, and on his new CD,

“True Love,” the artist showsthat time has not dulledhis creative ability, fromthe Caribbean-infused titletrack that opens the albumto other great songs such as“Scotch for Supper, Ciga-

rettes for Dessert” and “SheDoesn’t Want to Say.”

The CD, produced byBethany and Jay Miley andrecorded at Miley’s Charles-ton Recording Studio, has avariety of sounds and stylescontained within its 11tracks. It never sounds dated,and Bethany should get a lotof credit for moving forwardwith his music three decadespast that initial success.

As one listens to the songson this album, it’s the smalltouches that begin to standout. The beautiful trumpet,played by none other than

Bethany, on “Can’t Hold On”and Andy Jennings’ subtleaccordion on the lovely “If ICount the Ways” are someof the better examples. EvenBethany’s pseudo-rapping on“I Speak the Lingo” actuallyworks in its context.

It’s nice to see that timehasn’t diminished Bethany’spassion for writing accessibleand engaging music.

KEY TRACKS: “True Love,”“Can’t Hold On,” “If I Countthe Ways”

Devin Grant–

It has been an interestingfew years for musician LukeCunningham. The formerfrontman for the Rock Hill

band Part Time He-roes crisscrossed theSoutheast with the

band before its breakup in2009. Cunningham thenfound himself composingmusic for film under theband name Kentucky Shinebefore starting to gatherideas for a solo album.

The results of his latestproject can be heard on

“Heart Pressure,” and fansof the singer-songwriter willbe happy to know that timeseems only to have enhancedCunningham’s musical

talent.Produced by Crowfield

guitarist Micah Nichols(who also plays on the al-bum), “Heart Pressure” isan album full of songs thatobviously come from deepwithin Cunningham. Theemotions range from upbeat,as on “For the Best” and“January Air,” to melancholy— “Give This Up” and “Am-nesia.” The best moment onthe album, though, comeswhen Cunningham joinsforces with Cary Ann Hearst

for the song “Songs AboutCalifornia.” I could listento the two of them sing thatparticular track all day.

For fans of Americana mu-sic, Cunningham’s composi-tions will go down easy. Andif there was any question asto whether Cunninghamcould go it alone, “HeartPressure” should quiet thatnonsense.

KEY TRACKS: “For the Best,”“I Speak the Lingo,” “GiveThis Up”

DEAR ABBY: I agreewith your answerto “Paying for My

Popcorn in Oregon,” whocomplained about herniece sneaking food intothe theater.

I taught a parenting classto parents who had kidsin trouble with the law. Istarted out by asking, “Howmany of you teach your chil-dren to lie, cheat or steal?”Nobody admitted they did.I then had about 20 itemsI’d list, the movie food issuebeing one, driving over thespeed limit and so on. Atleast one of the 20 applied to

everybody.Then I’d say: “You taught

your kids that it was OK tolie, cheat and steal. It’s onlygetting caught that’s bad.That’s why you are in myclass today.” — PAUL INDENVER

DEAR PAUL: I’m sorryto say that many readersthought the issue was more

about the cost and selec-tion of snacks than that ofcheating the theater own-ers. My newspaper readerscomment:

DEAR ABBY: For a familyof four to see a movie andget a drink and popcorn orcandy costs about $80. Thecost of a drink is about 5 or10 cents to the theater, andthey charge a whopping$5. And a tub of popcornat a theater is $7.50. Howcan a family afford to go tothe movies at these prices?— KIM IN CALIFORNIA

DEAR ABBY: While Iagree that it is the theater

operators’ prerogative to setpolicy and make money, Ihave done what the nieceis doing, but for differentreasons. My children and Iare allergic to corn productsas well as artificial colorsand flavorings, ingredientsin every product commonlysold at movie concessionstands.

Recently my family hasmade a different choice. Weeither eat before we go or wewait for the DVD and stayhome. — ALLERGIC INNEW YORK
