Myrtle Beach area businesses want debate on Statehouse flag again

Most Grand Strand businesses want to revisit the placement of the Confederate flag at the Statehouse that led a civil rights group to urge a tourism boycott of the state for more than a decade, according to a new survey.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People boycott because of the flag has driven several large sports tourism events away from the Grand Strand - including an ACC baseball tournament proposed for 2011-13 and 2012 Olympic trials for beach volleyball. Some businessmen say the cost has been too great and it's time to put the debate to rest.

The flag was moved from the Statehouse dome to a Confederate soldier memorial in front of the building in 2000 at the direction of the state legislature. The move did not go far enough for the NAACP, which wanted the flag removed from the grounds and began a boycott that encouraged tourists and other groups not to visit the state.

More than 65 percent of chamber members are in favor of revisiting the controversy, according to a Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce survey of 267 members. The remainder said they were opposed.

"It has cost our state and in particular our area. If it costs our area anything, it's too much," said Ryan Swaim, general manager of vacation rental company Dunes Realty. "It has not put us out of business, but it has cost us some, and the ACC tournament is an excellent example."

The survey also asked what should be done with the flag.

About 20 percent thought the flag should be removed from its place in front of the Statehouse and retired, and 45 percent thought it should be moved to the State Museum.

About 25 percent thought the flag should be left where it is, and 7 percent wanted it moved back to the Statehouse dome.

The state legislature is unlikely to debate moving the flag anytime soon, said S.C. Rep. Tracy Edge, R-Myrtle Beach. Lonnie Randolph Jr., president of the state branch of the NAACP, said the national NAACP would not support bringing the boycott to an end unless the legislature acts.

The Myrtle Beach area has lost more business than other areas and it's been more publicized because of the ACC tournament, said Brad Dean, president and chief executive of the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce.

In Columbia, "right now, I don't think there's an appetite to revisit this," Dean said.

The chamber put the question on the survey because Edge had indicated that he would lead an effort to compromise on the flag next year, but Edge said Friday he does not plan to do so.

The chamber had not polled its members on the issue in years and wanted to be prepared to take a stance if need be, Dean said.

The Grand Strand businesses support revisiting the issue, but that doesn't mean the rest of the state does, Edge said.

"Here's the problem we've got: Those businesses are probably all along the coast and probably within 5 miles of the shoreline. You can drive five hours and 250 miles before you get to the end of the state, and 245 miles of that is more than likely strong flag supporters," he said.

An ACC tournament wasn't a big enough event to bring public pressure to make legislators consider moving the flag, Edge said.

"It would have to be something like the Super Bowl, which we're not going to be getting, but I think it would have to be something on that level to galvanize the legislature to do something," he said

Hotelier Frans Mustert said he thinks the stalemate will eventually resolve itself and the issue is best left alone for now.

Most African Americans continue to come to South Carolina in spite of the boycott, so the NAACP appears to be out of sync with its base, he said.

"They [the NAACP] are hurting themselves as much as they're hurting me ... and eventually they'll give up," Mustert said.

Mickey James, president of the Myrtle Beach branch of the NAACP, said the organization members he's talked to all agree with the boycott. James wrote a letter in support of the ACC tournament in 2009, but that doesn't mean he disagrees with the boycott, he said.

James said he was focused on creating jobs at the time and conflicted with the boycott by mistake.

"I believe there should be an end to this boycott in a positive way that everyone can function," James said. "The flag ought to be in the museum."

The issue has been "a thorn in the sides of a lot of people and it needs to be removed," said Peter MacIntyre, general manager of Ripley's Entertainment Myrtle Beach. MacIntyre said he is not personally upset with the flag, but he can understand how some people might be.

"When I see the Confederate flag, I don't see racism," MacIntyre said. "I don't see it, I don't feel it, I don't think it. But I was born in New York."

Myrtle Beach area businesses snatch up gold as prices rise

Gold prices skyrocketed during the past two years, doubling from slightly more than $700 an ounce in October 2008 to roughly $1,400 when the market closed Wednesday, according to MarketWatch.com.

Several shops dedicated to buying precious metals have sprung up in the Myrtle Beach area, and many jewelers began buying gold to take advantage of the record high prices. Mail-in services also urge TV viewers to send in their gold to get fast cash.

With so many gold-to-cash businesses popping up, sellers need to be careful and do their research to avoid being ripped off, trade group representatives say.

Masouras sold her jewelry at The Gold Exchange, 1220 U.S. 17 South in North Myrtle Beach, which opened in September last year. Owner Jan Neely started the shop after closing her traditional jewelry store in Naples, Fla. The shop still sells jewelry, but buying gold has become 99 percent of her business with 2 to 10 people selling on an average day, she said.

"It's another way to keep my jewelry store open because it does bring in the revenue," Neely said.

The players

A host of companies like Neely's have sprung up or expanded as gold prices have soared. The local yellow pages contained two gold-related listings in April 2008. But in the following year's phone book, six companies are listed. Half of those are mail-in services, with large ads showing gold jewelry and women holding $100 bills.

Brick-and-mortar stores and mall kiosks have also opened in the past year to take advantage of the high gold prices, competing with pawn shops, the traditional buyer of used jewelry.

Pawn shops have a certain image that just doesn't appeal to some sellers, said Tom Pate, owner of The Pawn Shop, 3624 Socastee Boulevard.

"A lot of people won't go to pawn shops, a lot of them just won't. Especially a lot of your older people," Pate said.

Pate opened four shops - two in Myrtle Beach and two in Conway - dedicated to buying gold, silver and platinum in the past year or so. The stores aren't a get-rich-quick scheme, but rather make a small profit buying the metals and melting them down, he said. The shops do not resell jewelry.

"We're not getting rich on it, no. We're making money, we're paying a person to work and we're renting buildings," Pate said. "That's helping them people. We're putting people to work."

Neely said customers generally fall in one of two categories, she said.

"I have half my customers that need the money and it's a way for them to put food on the table," she said.

The other half are people like Masouras who have old gold jewelry that they never wear, she said.

How it works

The Gold Buyers America kiosk that opened at Coastal Grand mall in August buys about 20 to 35 gold items in a week, staffer Jill Arnold said.

Gold Buyers America and The Gold Exchange examine the gold with a loupe, a special magnifying glass, and find the stamp that tells how many karats the jewelry is. The two shops will then rub the gold on a jewelers stone and drip special acids on the scrapping, also to discern the karats. Gold Buyers America will also test the jewelry to make sure it's not magnetic, a sign that it contains a large amount of other metals.

If the gold passes the tests, the shops will make an offer based on the pennyweight of the gold, a unit of weight equal to roughly one-twentieth of an ounce.

Prices per pennyweight vary daily with the overall gold market, said Tavis Meredith, who oversees Gold Buyers America's operations in South Carolina. Meredith said he could not discuss pricing for competitive reasons, and kiosks will often raise their offers to match or beat competing offers on a gold item.

Fast-Fix Jewelry Repair in Coastal Grand Mall prices about five gold items a day, paying from about $40 to $1,500 for a single item based on the weight, said manager Samantha Reynolds. The shop buys a lot of jewelry and watches but also unusual items such as gold teeth, she said.

The money may sound appealing, but people should think it through before selling their jewelry, said Amanda Gizzi, spokeswoman for trade group Jewelers of America. People should avoid making hasty decisions as they generally will never be able get their jewelry back once it's sold, she said.

"One very important thing is to consider any emotional value it has to you because certainly no one can put a price on that," Gizzi said.

Sellers should not be surprised if their jewelry is appraised at lower than the open market price for gold, said spokesman David Schraeder of industry group World Gold Council.

The market price gives the value of pure 24-karat gold, and a lot of U.S. jewelry is 10 karats or 14 karats, he said. A 10-karat gold necklace contains 10 parts gold and 14 parts of another metal.

Businesses also must factor in how much it will cost to process and melt down the jewelry, which can also lower a shop's offering price, Schraeder said.

Sellers should nevertheless go to several different stores to ensure they get the most money they can for their gold, he said.

Schraeder and Gizzi said sellers should research a business before they decide to sell their gold there. Businesses affiliated with the World Gold Council, Jewelers of America or the Jewelers Vigilance Committee should be reputable. The Better Business Bureau will know of complaints against a jeweler.

"We always recommend people do their business with reputable jewelers rather than these pop-up stores and mail-in programs," Gizzi said.

Mail-in programs may be reputable but should be researched in advance, Schraeder said.

Business or bubble?

Rising demand and a steady supply of gold accounts for the rising prices, Schraeder said. About 34 percent of demand for gold comes from investors, a figure that's increased in recent years, according World Gold Council statistics. People view gold as a safe investment, especially in the tougher economic climate, Schraeder said.

Gold jewelry, which makes up about 54 percent of total demand, is increasingly bought in China and India, which drives demand, Schraeder said. Both countries have growing middle classes that have discretionary income and place high cultural value on gold, he said. The remaining demand is driven by technological or industrial uses of gold.

Meanwhile, gold production remained relatively stable, as it's hard to increase production when most gold that's easily accessible has already been mined, Schraeder said.

A study by the World Gold Council addresses concerns that gold is a new economic "bubble" and that prices will fall drastically. The study says that the rise of gold doesn't present the same risk factors of previous bubbles, comparing it to the U.S. housing bubble and the dot-com boom, among others. But Schraeder said he can't say for sure that it's not a bubble.

"The hard part of any kind of asset bubble is it's very, very difficult to ever know if you're in a bubble until you're out of a bubble," Schraeder said.

Pate said he doesn't think gold prices can stay high forever, so his shops may not be a sustainable business model in the long run.

"I'd still like to see them be permanent locations, but I don't think they're going to be," he said. "Right now I would say it's going to be a fad."

Investors view gold as a hedge against inflation, said Rob Salvino, a research economist at Coastal Carolina University. Fears of inflation are running high after the Federal Reserve announced last week it would buy $600 billion in Treasury bonds to inject more money into the sluggish economy, a move that could lead to inflation, Salvino said. Only if the Fed successfully curbs any resulting inflation would investors stop pouring money into gold, and prices could come down, he said.

But that would be at least a two years away, Salvino said, so gold-to-cash stores will likely remain for now.

"As long as gold is rising in price those businesses are going to be around to take advantage of it," Salvino said.

Arizona businesses win stimulus Fund Lottery

by Emily Gersema - 19 October 2010 12 H.
The Arizona Republic

A cement plant construction in an area 35 miles north of Prescott won 17.7 million in bonds of exempt federal stimulus tax Monday at a State Lottery.

Paloma Dairy in Gila Bend receives 6 million that he has requested to add a second dairy in its paint manufacturer Dunn-Edwards opérations.Et receives 6 million for a Phoenix Sud.Il plant had requested $ 22.2 million.

The recovered commerce Department 78 million in bonds in five cities and five counties not found projects that satisfies fédéraux.Les bond eligibility requirements are a cheap loan which is exempt from tax, lowering the cost of reimbursement.

Drake cement and Dunn-Edwards officials did not return telephone calls Monday.

A representative of the dairy industry Paloma said that links mean that the firm can increase.

"This really means jobs additional Gila Bend and the surrounding area," said Jeff Shook, the controller of the dairy belonging to the family. "We expect when we are up and fully operational likely to add approximately 35 jobs, what is quite a bit for the region, because it is quite economically depressed.?

The dairy has 9 000 cows and milk Gila Bend ships United excellence at the Tempe Arizona plant.With the expansion, it will add 6 000 cows, said Shook.

Absent the drawing has been the development of red, which establishes the Office of 900 million hotel and retail landscape complex in downtown Phoenix.

In August, ADR has received support from the Phoenix Industrial Development Authority, a jury who supervises bindings exempt from tax for the city to apply to 57 million dollars in obligations for the Hotel Palomar landscape urbain.RED officials said Monday that they decided not to enter the lottery.

Eight cities and seven counties received the requirements for projects but have until January 1 for assigned projects.

Federal guidelines say cities and counties must "use or lose" before the deadline, or links will expire and no one could use them.

To maintain links in the State, the Department of commerce requested cities and counties to renounce their obligations if they found no eligible projects.

Federal guidelines require that projects be "shovel ready;" developers had to have the Earth and funding for projects before applying of liaisons.Fonctionnaires in certain cities and counties said the shovel-ready requirement became an important point of friction for the développeurs.Ils have can find eligible projects, prompting to cede their obligations to the State.
