J

ust off Marina Road in Irmo, the sound of wheezingbuzz saws slicing through plywood reverberates aroundthe otherwise quiet calm of Lake Murray. Staple gunsand hammers clack and bang while cement trucksrumble by construction workers in hard hats.

This is the site of The Residence, a 216-unitapartment complex that is superseding the old Lake Murray Marina

& Yacht club. The $50 million project that began in 2011 is bringingresort-style apartments to the lake along with a new marina andrestaurant. Its motto: Eat. Boat. Live.

Calling it The Residence, gives people the feeling that it is one-of-a-kind, said developer Ben Arnold, the man behind The Palms,Renaissance Plaza and Vista Lofts in Columbia. When we purchasedLake Murray Marina, we did so with the intent of developing a rstclass mixed-use project on Lake Murray, Arnold said. The originalproject consisted of condominiums, not apartments, but after themarket crash at the end of 2008 he said the strategy shifted to high-endrental units.

The Residence has a resort-style feel, Arnold said, because theminute you get home, you feel like youre on vacation.

This includes amenities such as a heated outdoor pool, tness center

and indoor movie theater.By early spring, a heated pool complete with outdoor couches,re pits and lounge chairs residents can bring into the water will beready in the middle of the complex. A new clubhouse, where wave-

themed furniture, Wi-Fi and a two-story waterfall will receiveresidents. The one- to three-bedroom units are designed toprovide great views of the water.

Rent for the apartments range from $1,070 per month for aone-bedroom unit to $1,635 for a two-bedroom unit. Three-bedroom units are available for $1,435. The units come withEnergy Star-rated stainless steel or black appliance packages,tile backsplash in the kitchen and granite countertops. Residentsalso have the option of having a unit pre-furnished.

Two of the nished buildings boast crisp white porches andedging palm trees; a stark contrast against the mesh fencesand dirt piles found elsewhere in the complex in late winter as

construction continued.For the newest residents, construction isnt a huge concern.It hasnt really bothered me, said Jeaninne Phillips, who just

moved with her husband to the state from Raleigh. The pairknew they wanted a place on the lake, Jeaninne said, and TheResidence offered just that without the commitment of buying ahouse. She said they plan on getting a boat or renting from theboat club.

We love it here, she said. We cant wait for spring to getout on the water and explore the lake more.

For Barbara and Eddie Oliver, who moved into theirapartment in December, dealing with the construction meansimagining the light at the end of a tunnel.

Barbara said the heated pool is what she is most excited about.

Another draw was having the amenities like the pool and movietheater available for their 11-year-old son, Nathan, she said.And, of course, lakeside living.

We love the lake. Its so big, and you never get bored,Barbara said. Since weve moved here, I cant imagine livinganywhere else. We love this area.

Eddie said he likes the idea of being able to walk out his doorand choose a boat in the marina, in addition to having lakefrontviews and a restaurant close by. Why wait to retire? he asked.We gured wed enjoy it now while we can.

The full-service restaurant will be a waterfront outpost ofLiberty Tap Room, aptly named Liberty on the Lake. Operated

by the regional TBonz restaurant, the waterfront bar and grill isdesignating slip parking for boat-up guests.

The marina is readying 269 slips for marina members andrental options for residents provided by Better Boat Rental.

Donna DentonOn a sandy ridge in Lexington County is the expansive, six-acregarden of Donna Denton.

Besides being a Master Gardener, Denton is a member ofthe Mid-Carolina Camellia Society and the American CamelliaSociety. Among her garden treasures is a collection of heirloomcamellias.

Naturally I would recommend camellias, with theirwonderful owers that add color in the garden and on thetable at a time when most other plants are dormant. Mahoniascontribute their bit of color too in the winter with their yellowblooms and are great for dry, shady spots. Theres a new one outthat looks very different from the leather leaf ones. Mahoniaeurybracteata Soft Caress has small, ne-textured leavesand is user friendly. But my all-time favorite plant is BananaShrub (Michelia go) because its tiny owers, which open inspring, look like and have the fragrance of ripe bananas. Onceestablished, Banana Shrub thrives with little watering in full sunand no pests that Ive encountered.

Anne MooreMoore is a freelance writer specializing in garden articles andphotography. She edits a monthly e-newsletter and providesmaterial to the GardenSmart Articles website. Moore gardensat her Irmo home on a lot that she describes as having some sunbut mostly shade.

I like all of the hydrangeas, but the Oakleaf (Hydrangeaquercifolia) is a must because I have such a shady garden and itdoes well here. The white, full ower heads are long lived and

are lovely even when they turn brown. The leaves are large andshowy and have wonderful fall color. Snowake is my favoritevariety.

My weigelia (Ghost) is another delight. I have it in a patchof sun along the driveway. Many plants wont tolerate streettrafc, but this one does. In spring its covered in small, pinkowers and blooms sporadically throughout the summer. Butwhat I like best is its blend of leaf color. Some are yellow andothers are lime green. Another wonderful plant is Cestrum,Orange Peel. This could be hard to nd locally. Cestrum is agreat plant that is carefree. It blooms all summer, and the golden

owers attract butteries and hummingbirds.

Gardeners favorites

1. Camellia japonica: By plantingdifferent varieties of camellias, agardener can have blooms fromNovember to early March to brightenthe winter garden.

2. Cestrum, Orange Peel, is acarefree plant that can be limbedinto a small tree at maturity. Its brightgolden owers are a magnet forhummingbirds and butteries.

3, 4. Oakleaf hydrangea is a plantfor all seasons. The large, whiteowers of summer dry beautifullyon the stem and couple nicely withthe leaves that have changed fromsummer green to fall burgundy.Even in late winter, the curving, barebranches add interest to the garden.

5. Weigelia, Ghost, is a delightthroughout the summer, with itsbrightly colored pink owers. Bestplanted in full sun in a mixed borderwhere it shines in summer, butas a deciduous shrub, needs asupporting cast in winter.

The new variety of mahonia, SoftCaress, shown previous page, is ane-textured, hardy plant suited fordry shade. This evergreen gem hasbright yellow owers that appear inlate winter.

Jeanie FerrerOn a sloping lot in West Columbia sits the garden Ferrer hastended for more than 20 years. Ferrer is a no-fuss gardener wholikes reliable, hardy plants.

One plant that immediately comes to mind is Loropetalumchinense (Chinese Fringe-ower).

In March the bush is covered with white, fragrant owers.I also grow the purple leaf varieties for their foliage and theirversatility. They will ourish in sun or light shade with no pest

problems. Another one of my favorites is one the birds left me,American Euonymus. This airy little plant grows about four feettall in the shade in my garden. In the spring it is covered in tinyapricot-colored owers, but its really striking in the fall whenthe red seed pods hang open. Thats where it gets its commonname, Hearts-a-Burstin. Senna corymbosa (Cassia) is anotherwonderful shrub because it provides gorgeous golden owersin late summer when everything else is tired looking. Besides,butteries love it. In November, the seed pods look like long,green beans. I collect the seeds and plant them in the spring.They are so easy to grow.

Sandy RaymondNear Lake Murray, nestled among mature trees, is the spaciouscountry garden of Sandy Raymond. Her garden has beenfeatured several times on garden tours.

Curly spirea or Dolichos is a plant I really like because itis covered in deep pink owers all summer even though Iveplanted it in semi-shade. It also stays small, about three feettall at maturity, and the curly foliage gives it a lot of character.Hydrangeas all kinds are used throughout my shady

garden. I especially like the variegated kind because the foliageadds a little pop to a dark, shady area. Im also partial to smallconifers. They are good accent plants that are slow growing andcan be grown in pots, which allows them to be moved aroundthe garden to ll a niche.

To learn more about these and other plants consult Manualof Woody Landscape Plants and Dirrs Trees and Shrubsfor Warm Climates, both written by Michael A. Dirr of theDepartment of Horticulture at the University of Georgia.

Its been a generation since Chapins Ed Fetner chartedthe mysteries underneath the water in his detailed andinformational map entitled Lake Murray Then andNow.

So its time to adapt that information and much more to next-generation technology. Thats what youll get if

you download David Brinkmans latest historical app: UnderLake Murray.

Brinkman, a Columbia resident, has created similar apps forthe Three Rivers Greenway and the S.C. historical markers.For his new app, Brinkman acknowledged Fetners map wasone of his sources, along with dozens of other historical maps.

He also leaned on Coy Baynes book Lake Murray: Legendand Leisure. And friends Dean Hunt, John Adams Hodgeand Dale Boozer expanded Brinkmans own historical researchon the area.

The result is a high-tech version of Fetners map, with moredetails and several additional layers of historical background.Theres plenty of history under the lake.

Before the dam was built in the 1920s and the area wasooded in 1929, the land now covered by water was hometo about 5,000 people. They lived in a number of smallcommunities, often named for the families living there Derrick, Wessinger, Leaphart, Boyleston.

Workers removed three churches, six schools and 2,323graves in areas to be ooded. Graves that werent removed,along with building foundations, still stand under the water.

And even if they dont have hard structures, there are historicalsites under the water.

Take Fort Fairchild, for instance. Not many in theMidlands have heard of the pre-Revolutionary fortress built

Last spring, Steve Deese and hisdaughter, Samantha, built and openedBentleys Beach House on property sheowned near the Lake Murray dam. The

restaurant is based on the one that Deeseowned and operated for a short timealong U.S. 378 and later sold to RubyTuesdays.

Outside there is a sandy area wherecorn hole tournaments take placeperiodically. During the warmer months,customers can eat and watch sports on thepatio. Often, a live band entertains.

Inside, there is a giant centerpiecebar with television sets mounted aboveto appeal to the sports-minded set.Customers can also watch sports onmounted televisions in other areas of the

restaurant, which seat about 175.Involved in other recreation industry

ventures, such as Encore Boats, Deeseand his daughter wanted a casual,relaxing, and entertaining restaurantwhere customers could enjoy beach-likedining without having to drive to thecoast. With the lake nearby, the propertyprovided an ideal opportunity to offerresidents and visitors a place to dineafter a day of boating. Deese, who livesalong Lake Murray, says his daughter also

spends 90 percent of her time visitingthere.

At the beachfront restaurant, the

heaping plates of seafood are a draw.Clever menu item names such as TidalWave and High Tide describe nachoswith shrimp, melted cheese, lettuce,tomatoes, salsa and sour cream and asmoked Swordsh dip. The Seafood Feastserves at least two. Bum Baskets havechoices of sh bites, fried shrimp, andoysters, as well as chicken tenders, steaktidbits and pork chunks. Other seafoodfavorites include shrimp and grits, agrilled salmon salad and clam chowder.

The owners plan to add more seafoodchoices to the menu soon.

For non-seafood lovers, there arenachos served with chicken or beef aswell as a marinated steak salad. Burgersare substantial, while grilled kabobs comewith steak or chicken. Those who wanta little of both can choose the traditional

Whats new in home construction and interior

design? We got a glimpse at the recent Paradeof Homes sponsored by the Home Builders

Association of Greater Columbia.

New homes built in the Olde Park development in Forest

Acres were featured on the tour. Many of the homes are built

along Eight Mile Creek on urban-size lots, yet with large

interiors that can accommodate big family gatherings.

can be white or wood, keeping10-foot ceilings grand without

making the space feel sparse.

(which you have to keep spotless) is the reintroductionof a butlers pantry. The one included in The

1993

Naval Reserve crews in 1993 used this sonar-equipped Boston Whaler to search for the remains of WWII bombers

that crashed into Lake Murray during training sessions in the 1940s. The search led to a B-25 that, after manyts and starts, was raised in 2005. A portion of that bomber is on display at the Southern Museum of Flight in

Birmingham, Ala., though many local aviation enthusiasts hope it eventually will nd a home in a museum in the Lake

Murray region. Historians estimate remains of at least seven bombers were left under Lake Murray.
