Love Local!

February 2024 PUBLISHER

David Hayth | david.hayth@citylifestyle.com E D I TO R I AL C O O R D I N ATO R

Alexandra Hill | alexandra.hill@citylifestyle.com

I don’t know about you, but this time of year I am always torn. I find myself torn between resisting the commercialization of another greeting card holiday and indulging in all the sweet excuses to enjoy the season.

To do a Valentine’s Day date out or enjoy a cozy night at home? To buy a card or just say a kind word? I usually land somewhere a little in between. We’ll each arrive at different answers based on our preferences and personalities, but what we hold in common is an opportunity to make sure those around us know we love them.

And regardless of how you choose to celebrate, we hope the pages of this month’s magazine will help you do just that as we celebrate and highlight what’s to love in your local community.

While we teeter between the chill of January Winter and the excitement of Spring, we hope you’ll be inspired to take a moment to come together with the people in your life. The ones in your home and on your street. In your neighborhood and your community.

“Love local” means your local businesses, those in your community - but it also means loving what is near. Those under your own roof included. So grab a charcuterie board from Luzianna Purchase and head home for a game night around the fire with the family. Or plan a date night at Di Vino Rosso to transport to Italy for an evening. For a fun family day, grab some barbecue from Cox Family BBQ and have a picnic at one of our beautiful parks.

We’ve always believed what we can do together is so much more than what we can do apart. And we continue to see that demonstrated through the many stories told in these pages month after month.

Thanks for letting us be a part of the life you’re building, whatever that may look like.

Our hope is that we inspire you to love it just a bit more than you did before.

Happy February!

See clearly without glasses or contacts LASIK is just one of many fantastic surgical options to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia- age-related inability to focus at near distances requiring the use of reading glasses.

LASIK and PRK are procedures using a laser to reshape the cornea.

Refractive lens exchange replaces your eye’s natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to meet your vision needs. Implantable contact lenses offer another option for patients with extreme nearsightedness.

Schedule a consultation with a specialist to see which option is best to help you reduce or eliminate your dependence on glasses or contacts.

O UR TOWN | S P O RTS + RE CRE AT ION

Capital City/Lake Murray Country is a beloved region full of rich history, awe-inspiring experiences, and exciting adventures. The “Explore Lake Murray Country Podcast” was created to unify and inspire both visitors and locals through motivational interviews. At its core, the podcast seeks to inspire the world to “Come Alive” by savoring life, and Capital/City Lake Murray Country just happens to be the perfect place to do so.

While most of the topics and guests will revolve around things to experience in the region, this is not merely an audio travel guide. The mission of the podcast is to help both visitors and locals feel a sense of motivation and excitement about life and connect those feelings to the region as a destination or place to call home. Join host Kelly Hughes and hear fun, uplifting, and unique stories about living life to the fullest from Palmetto State locals who call Capital City/Lake Murray Country home.

Here’s a preview of the first three episodes.

EPISODE 1: COME ALIVE IN LAKE MURRAY COUNTRY

Miriam Atria, President & CEO of Capital City/ Lake Murray Country, joins host Kelly Hughes on the first episode of the “Explore Lake Murray Country Podcast”! Miriam discusses her 40-plus-year history with the organization and how she grew Capital City/ Lake Murray Country into the tourism destination it is today. The conversation then shifts into a discussion of all the fun things to experience in Lake Murray Country, from food to golf to fishing, and the Southeastern BBQ Showdown coming in June of 2024. Miriam also gives listeners a look behind the curtain at the origin of Capital City/Lake Murray Country’s “Come Alive” jingle.

EPISODE 2: EXPERIENCING NATURE IN CONGAREE NATIONAL PARK

Jon Manchester is the Chief of Visitor Services at Congaree National Park, a hidden gem in South Carolina, and he joins Kelly on this episode. Tune in for a look at the history of Congaree that dates back to way before the national park’s establishment. Jon also details the various attractions and events offered at the park, like the firefly synchronization, and shares some valuable advice for potential visitors including accessibility offerings and things to do.

EPISODE 3: TAKE A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE AT RIVERBANKS ZOO AND GARDEN

Open to the public since 1974, Riverbanks Zoo and Garden is one of the top attractions in South Carolina with a wide variety of animals in its care. Tommy Stringfellow, the President and CEO of Riverbanks Zoo and Garden, joins Kelly on this episode to give a rundown of everything you can experience at Riverbanks, including the newly opened Aquarium and Reptile Conservation Center. Tommy also talks about the new “Wild Lights” experience at the Zoo this winter, where folks can discover nearly 60 larger-than-life handcrafted lanterns inspired by nature.

Stay up-to-date with the latest episodes of the podcast by subscribing to it on popular platforms such as Apple, Google, Spotify, Amazon Music, and many more.

Game Changers

It Starts with One

Steve Ware is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of children. That work starts at home with his own five kids. Steve is intentional about being a father and makes sure that his professional duties don’t get in the way of that. He’s owned and operated several successful businesses in The Midlands, which has afforded him the flexibility to be the father he wants to be. However, he is quick to recognize that not every child has parents with that advantage or desire. He, himself, grew up without a fatherly influence and knows the struggles that stem from that particular circumstance. Abandoned by his parents and passed from shelter to shelter, Steve knows

all too well about poverty and struggles. As a child, Steve lined his tennis shoes with pieces of cardboard to protect his feet from the holes in the soles. He was undisciplined and lacked for himself and others. For 14 years, Steve continued this cycle until, one day, a church-going man took notice of him and changed the game — altering the trajectory of his life. Within one year, Steve moved into the home of a loving Christian family, returned to school, and made the Honor Roll.

It’s now been 15 years since Steve used his resources and his time to form the nonprofit Game Changers with the intention of helping

children, especially those who are underprivileged and underserved. Through a focus on Mind, Body & Soul, the Game Changers organization is impacting hundreds of children each year. The mission is simple: To change lives, no matter one’s financial or social status, through inspiring hope and reflecting the love of God. Game Changers’ vision is for every child, regardless of their present circumstance, to achieve a sense of well-being - physically, emotionally, academically, and spiritually.

The work of Game Changers takes place through mentoring programs in schools throughout the Midlands, after-school care, and seasonal programs such as a Back-toSchool Bash and a Christmas Party. A large focus of the organization comes in the form CONTINUED >

Summer programming caters to children ages 5 to 14, with 15 and 16-year-olds being allowed to serve as Counselors-in-Training. Registration is currently open for 2024 Summer Programming, including: • 10 Weeks of Summer Camp • Baseball Camp • Basketball Camp • Soccer Camp • Cheerleading Camp The success of Game Changers depends on the commitment of Steve and so many others. Hundreds of people give their time and thousands of people give their resources. Volunteer opportunities include serving in one of these key areas: of summer camps in two locations. Game Changers’ original location was procured by Steve years ago.

Using his real estate connections, Steve acquired the former Gardendale Tennis & Swim Club and converted it into River’s Edge Retreat. More recently, Game Changers has purchased the old Skate Station USA and converted it into yet another facility for childhood fun. Any child in the Game Changers program receives a discount to use the facilities and participate in the fun. “My hope is that kids learn they can have fun without going out and smoking, drinking, or hanging out with the wild kids,” says Steve. “They can have a lot of fun over here!”

Both locations host a variety of summer camps where kids can enjoy traditional activities such as interactive games, outdoor recreation, treasure hunts, storytelling, music, arts & crafts, swimming, skating, field trips and so much more! Designed for

From-Scratch Pasta

Yield: 1 pound

what you need

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting 4 large eggs

what you do 1. Mound the flour in the center of a work surface with a well in the middle. Crack the eggs into the well and beat with a fork until smooth, then work flour into eggs with the fork. Use a bench scraper to work in the rest of the flour a little at a time. When the flour is incorporated, form the dough with your hands into a rounded mass for kneading. Lightly dust your workspace with flour and knead dough about 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Cover dough with a bowl or plastic wrap and rest 1 1/2 hours, or chill overnight.

2. To roll by hand, flour a clean work surface. Vigorously roll dough to a very thin circle and roll constantly with even pressure as it stretches for several minutes until as thin as possible, almost translucent.

3. To cut by hand, lightly fold sheets one at a time into thirds and cut to desired thickness.

Reservations For Two Dreamy destinations for couples looking to get away.

Finding a life partner just might be easier than finding someone you can travel with.

Pace, patience and priorities all matter when organizing itineraries, straddling time zones and navigating new places. Do you like languid mornings with room service, wide sandy beaches and white-glove service? Or, do you prefer watching the sunrise in hiking boots, launching into eye-opening excursions and digging to find that hidden gem of a restaurant that serves local food to locals?

When the stars align, both partners have an affinity for generally the same kind of vacation, or are willing to compromise. Enjoying travel with your mate is the icing on the (wedding) cake.

Here are a few ideas for fabulously romantic getaways. Bon Voyage!

Traveling can be as stressful as it is sublime. Exhausting as it is inspiring.

Traveling as a couple requires additional planning and communication with a healthy dose of patience. Much like marriage!

But, waking up in a faraway place, exploring unknown terrain together and leaving your routine and all its trappings behind can be therapeutic. You both can take on new roles and release tired habits.

1

Write new vows over lunch or take a random nap because you can.

2

Share planning and talk about your goals for the trip. Do you want to completely unplug or will one of you need excellent wifi to call into a few meetings?

3

If you’re parents, consider setting boundaries for texting and phone calls so you can put the phone away and immerse in one another. Let the kids know you will be checking your phone at a certain time each day (and stick to that). Let the grandparents or caregivers handle the day to day drama.

4

Take turns charting a course for the day. On day one, you check museum opening times, get the timed tickets and find a nearby spot for a healthy lunch. On day two, you sit back and let your partner call the Uber and source out the perfect shopping district, walking distance to a park. Enjoy the ride, either way.

Four Seasons Bora Bora FourSeasons.com/BoraBora

Privacy and so much blue water.

Bora Bora, French Polynesia At the Four Seasons Bora Bora, bucket list overwater bungalows line a glassy lagoon, inviting early-morning swims off your own private dock with a bright breakfast table set on your patio overlooking Mount Otemanu. The morning air is like silk, with a lithe breeze promising more of the same. Later, meander down the shady paths of the resort to the Te Mahana Spa. With breathtaking lagoon and Pacific Ocean views from twin infinity pools, the treatment begins with local juices and fruit, a foot massage, and then continues with rebalancing rituals starring indigenous ingredients like skin-smoothing, Tahitian-black-pearl powder and detoxifying algae sourced from the ocean.

A full body scrub, massage, and hour-long soak in a coconut bath will leave you thankful and grounded. You can connect with the underwater world by snorkeling with a resident marine biologist and leave a legacy by grafting coral to repopulate the sun bleached lagoon. Dinners at the Four Seasons Bora Bora offer the ultimate date night experience, and a private moonlit swim is the perfect nightcap.

PHOTOGRAPHY BY JANIE JONES

DIY VALENTINES

ARTS

ARTICLE BY CHERYL PARTON

1. Arts Create heart ornaments to hang on a Valentine’s Day tree. The ornaments can be used as clue cards for a Valentine's Day scavenger hunt.

Participants find their picture on the tree and hunt for a hidden treasure.

2. Sweets A home-based holiday is made complete with a dessert table. Whether made from scratch or store bought, a collection of decorated confections is as beautiful as the treats are delectable to eat.

3. Sentiments Poetry is a most personal way to express your heart. No need to be intimidated by haiku, a short form of Japanese poetry. While there are several variations of the form, a traditional place to begin is with a seasonal word that divides 17 syllables into three lines of five/ seven/five. Simple and sweet.

H OW TO | ARTS + C ULTURE

SENTIMENTS

The first Valentines were handmade in the 18th century, long before printing presses and mass-produced options. Today, handmade signifies the ultimate in personal mots d’amour. Enjoy these sweet projects as a couple, a family, or with friends.
