Fields to Families
gets fresh produce to those in need
By MELANIE MATHOS
Fields to Families volunteer
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com
JUNE
4, 2009 -- I remember when I first heard about it. "You mean
farmers actually donate produce to you, you pick it, and then give
it to nonprofits?" I said in disbelief.
Mathos |
"Yes,
that's exactly it," she replied. "Would you like to volunteer?"
"She" was Jacki Baer, the director of Fields to Families,
and her spirit and enthusiasm were (and still are) contagious. Now,
three years later, this all-volunteer nonprofit organization is
well on its way to distributing 90,000 pounds of fresh produce to
those in need this year, at a time when the need is rising.
The
heart of our mission (I, of course, said yes to volunteering) is
to help increase nutrition for hungry people in the area by coordinating
the distribution of fresh produce obtained from local gardens and
farms. I later learned, through speaking with Jacki, that the roots
of "gleaning" go back to biblical times when growers were
not only expected to allow the poor to follow behind the harvesters
and claim the extra crops, but also to be generous in leaving some
crops along the edges of the fields for those less fortunate.
"What
a brilliant concept!" I thought. In hindsight, it is a simple
and beautiful idea of times long past.
Hunger
is all around us, but many of us live our daily lives without ever
seeing the faces of those in need. Why, when we have so much, are
there still those who go without?
In
2008, with the help of volunteers from our community, Fields to
Families distributed 82,398 pounds of fresh local produce to those
in need. Every year, hundreds of volunteers work with Fields to
Families to make our programs more successful. Without their help,
this and other programs would not be possible.
So,
are you ready to roll up your sleeves and help us put an end to
hunger in the Lowcountry? When you volunteer for Fields to Families,
you're standing up against hunger and improving your local community.
As part of our network, you'll be getting nutritious fruits and
vegetables into the hands of people who need them most.
There
are many ways that you can help make a difference:
- Harvest
fruits and vegetables at one of our participating farms.
- Distribute
produce to recipient agencies.
- Plant
extra vegetables, fruit and herbs in your personal garden to donate
to Fields to Families. Have more tomatoes than you know what to
do with? Give us a call and we will help get them to those in
need.
- Designate
an area in your community garden to donate to Fields to Families.
- Plan
and participate in local events.
- Tend
a booth at one of the farmers markets to help spread the word.
- Contribute
to our health and nutrition programs.
- Contact
us about using your professional talents to help our cause.
If
any of these opportunities interests you, you can sign up online
and get started! If you are too busy to volunteer, but would still
like to help, please consider making a donation to support Fields
to Families and partner with us in our effort to end hunger
in the Lowcountry. You may also send a donation by mail to: Fields
to Families, 222 W. Coleman Blvd., Mount Pleasant, SC 29464.

What's
the password? You'll be sorry you asked …
By
ANN THRASH, editor
JUNE
4, 2009 -- Computer experts say the best, most secure passwords
for e-mail and online accounts are long, seemingly random combinations
of letters, numbers and symbols that would be virtually impossible
for anyone to guess or associate with you. That strategy is finally
starting to make sense to me -- not because I need to be more electronically
secure, but because I need to be less personally embarrassed when
I have computer trouble.
Thrash |
Last
week I got a spiffy new printer/fax machine/copier/scanner. Everything
seemed to be perking along fine with the installation until my computer
refused to read the CD that was needed to install all the software.
After hours of trying unsuccessfully to resolve the problem with
online tech support, I called a local computer repair company and
set up a house call. To make a long and geeky story short, the only
way to resolve the problem was to wipe everything off my hard drive,
make the necessary fix and then reinstall all my programs. That's
when the embarrassment started.
"What
are your e-mail passwords?" the computer tech asked. He saw
the hesitation in my eyes and added, "I see you've got two
accounts, ma'am, and I need your passwords to be able to set them
up."
My
passwords flashed through my head, and I cringed. My passwords are
dumb. I mean really dumb -- and really embarrassing to say out loud.
There's no way anyone could look like a mature, professional, competent
adult saying these words out loud. I stood up a little straighter
and cleared my throat.
"OK,"
I said. "One of them is --" and then I said the word out
loud, to this total stranger -- a mortifyingly silly, juvenile word
that's a term of endearment for my 13-year-old cat. After I said
it, I thought, "OK, I guess that wasn't so bad. At least it's
over with." Then Computer Guy said, "Can you spell that,
please?" Nice! Thanks a lot.
Then
I got the bright idea that if Computer Guy understood why I would
have a completely ridiculous word like that as a password (like
he cared, right?), it would be more defensible. So I overexplained:
"It's a nickname for my cat. I've had her for 10 years and
most people think she's kind of, well, I guess you'd say standoffish,
but she's a good girl, really, and she always …" - and
then I saw the look on his face. I stopped talking.
"Now
you said you had another password as well, ma'am?"
There
was no turning back now, so I said my other, equally ridiculous
password, then launched into another unnecessary overexplanation:
"This is kind of a funny story, actually. My husband and I
went to this wedding a few years ago, and this weird thing happened
when we were looking for our seats at the table for dinner, and
I noticed -- "

"OK,
thanks," he said, putting us both out of our misery. "That'll
do it."
That
did it all right. I'm finally going to take the experts' advice.
I've settled on a new password that's just what they like -- a lengthy,
random combination of unintelligible letters, numbers and symbols.
I've got it all picked out … I just onder how long it'll take
the cat to get used to me calling her that.
Garden
variety: I'm happy to report that we've harvested one cucumber,
seven zucchini squash and one yellow squash from our fledgling vegetable
garden. The tomato plants are covered with green tomatoes, the eggplants
are blooming and I'm scouring all my cookbooks, various food magazines
and my favorite Internet sites looking for new recipes to try. If
you've got a favorite, send it to me -- and you might even see it
here in CharlestonCurrents.com.

Community
helps Crisis Ministries match challenge grant
Supporters
of Crisis Ministries in Charleston have surpassed a challenge to
match a $25,000 donation to the agency, meaning that more than $50,000
will be available to help homeless people in the Lowcountry get
back on their feet. In April, to recognize the agency's 25th anniversary,
local resident Paul Hulsey, a longtime Crisis Ministries supporter,
pledged to donate $25,000 if the community would do the same by
May 31. The money will go directly to Crisis Ministries programs
that help homeless individuals get back into homes of their own.
"$50,000
can help hundreds of homeless individuals return to self-sufficiency,"
said Hulsey, a member of the Hulsey Law Group.
Stacey
Denaux, Crisis Ministries' executive director, said, "We are
so grateful to Paul and all of our supporters who assisted in meeting
this challenge. The money raised will help provide food, shelter
and hope to our community's hungry and homeless."
Foundation
gets funds to organize architectural materials
The
Historic Charleston Foundation was recently awarded a $55,000 Donnelley
Foundation grant to cover the expenses to inventory, catalog and
organize the architectural salvage materials in HCF's warehouse
and to organize and store the collection items on the third floors
of the Aiken-Rhett House and the Nathaniel Russell House.
The
warehouse is approximately 5,400 square feet in area and contains
salvaged architectural materials from the museum houses, as well
as materials that various individuals and institutions have donated
to HCF. Many of the items are invaluable architectural treasures
that would be difficult to reproduce today. The materials will be
set aside as a study collection for students, contractors, craftsmen,
architects and the public. Items that are less historically valuable
will be sold at below-market prices to encourage local historic-property
owners to buy and use these original materials.
Once
the contents of the warehouse are organized, the study collection
and the items for reuse will be labeled and cataloged in a digital
database.
David
Hoffman of Edgewood Builders has been contracted to undertake the
warehouse reorganization project. He and his crew are working with
two historic-preservation interns from College of Charleston. The
project is already under way and is expected to wrap up by mid-November.
C
of C's Bully Pulpit Series wins statewide award
The
College of Charleston's Bully Pulpit Series on Presidential Communication
has won a Mercury Award from the South Carolina chapter of the Public
Relations Society of America. The awards recognize outstanding achievement
in creating and executing PR campaigns and tactics. The Bully Pulpit
Series won in the category of "outstanding event of more than
seven days."
The
series began in early 2007 when 12 presidential candidates from
the two major political parties were invited to the College of Charleston
campus to discuss the importance of presidential communication with
the press and public. Four candidates - including Barack Obama and
John McCain, who ended up at the top of their parties' tickets -
took part in the series, along with John Edwards and Ron Paul. More
than 6,000 students and community members attended the four events.
The
program was a joint effort of the college's Department of Communication
and the Department of Communication Advisory Council, working with
the college's Division of Marketing and Communications, the Center
for the Documentary, and Peppercom, a public relations agency with
offices in New York, San Francisco and London. The title sponsor
for the series was Allstate Insurance.

HISTORY
SPOTLIGHT
Operation
Lost Trust
Operation
Lost Trust was arguably South Carolina's largest and longest-running
political scandal. Including the investigation, trials, and retrials,
the Operation Lost Trust saga extended from 1989 to 1999.
The
key player in the FBI's investigation into legislative corruption
was Ron Cobb, a lobbyist and former member of the S.C. House of
Representatives. He was arrested in April 1989 for trying to buy
a kilo of cocaine in a deal orchestrated by the FBI for the purpose
of securing his involvement as the front man in the Lost Trust investigation.
He told members of the General Assembly that he represented the
Alpha Group that was seeking support for a bill legalizing dog-
and horse-track betting in South Carolina. Cobb recruited Representatives
Robert A. Kohn and Luther Taylor to help in securing legislative
votes by paying members money in exchange for their support and
votes. The transactions were captured on surveillance tapes.
Former
U.S. Attorney Bart Daniel of Charleston |
The
federal investigation resulted in the conviction of seventeen members
of the South Carolina General Assembly, seven lobbyists, and three
others for bribery, extortion, or drug use. All but five of the
twenty-seven convictions were the result of guilty pleas.
In
1991 and 1992 five legislators were granted new trials because of
legal errors. U.S. District Judge Falcon Hawkins then dismissed
the charges against the five for alleged misconduct by the federal
prosecution team led by U.S. Attorney Bart Daniel. Judge Hawkins's
ruling was overturned in November 1998 by the Fourth U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals, which reinstated the criminal charges. During
the period between 1991 and 1998 two of the five legislators died
after long illnesses. The three remaining defendants were retried
in 1999, and all three were convicted.
