TODAY'S
FOCUS
Despite
recession, outpouring of help inspires Rural Mission
By CHRIS BROOKS

Special to CharlestonCurrents.com
AUG.
24, 2009 -- The recession economy has produced many difficult challenges
for the Rural Mission during 2009, but God continues to provide!
This gives us faith.
Brooks |
The
low-income rural families, the elderly, migrant families and the
at-risk children and youth we serve are suffering greatly in hardships
and poverty. The people with the least are bearing the greatest
burdens of this recession. One family at a time, we are continuing
to bring them uplifting hope and assistance.
The
mission's very difficult financial burdens continue. However, we
have been tremendously blessed, encouraged and thankful for the
outpouring of volunteers seeking to give of themselves that 2009
has produced. They may not be able to give financially as they may
want, but they have dedicated themselves to discipleship. Many have
renewed their relationship with the Rural Mission from past years,
and many have come for the first time. All denominations are represented.
Not
since the outpouring of love in the aftermath of Hurricane Hugo
have they come to the rural Sea Islands and its needy residents
in such numbers. Volunteers know that people are suffering and they
want to help. They are walking the walk!

dangerous trailer. (Photo provided by Rural Mission) |
One
wonderful example of such caring and commitment has been the large
numbers of volunteers who have worked since the groundbreaking in
June on a new, safe and adequate home for Shirley Smiley and her
family near Hollywood. Their very old and dilapidated trailer home
has not only been falling apart but making them sick. The photo
accompanying this column was taken on Aug. 18, and it shows how
far we have come.
Shirley
and her family have been there, side by side each day, with our
volunteers. These memories and bonds of love, friendship and respect
will stay with everyone for a lifetime. Volunteers have returned
home with the joy and blessings of giving and with Shirley's endearing
smile and her sincere expressions of gratitude. She has been ever
present with bottles of water and Gatorade and popsicles to make
these hot days a little easier.
Help
us to repeat this wonderful story for the many still waiting to
be helped. The Rural Mission provides a convenient and secure means
to donate to our outreach ministry online by going to http://www.ruralmission.org.
The "Donate Now" link is right on the homepage. Do this
in memory or honor of someone special in your life. Donations can

CURRENTS
On protecting
SC's historical gems
By
ANDY BRACK, publisher
CharlestonCurrents.com
AUG.
24, 2009 - It's not every day one gets to see the original Ordinance
of Secession of Dec. 20, 1860.
Brack |
Or
the earliest known copy (1682) of the Fundamental Constitutions,
a document that outlined a governmental structure for the colony
of South Carolina. Many say it is a foundation of the U.S. Constitution
of a century later.
Or signatures on documents by John Locke and Thomas Jefferson. Or
a ratified copy of the U.S. Bill of Rights. Or the first petition
of the 1949 South Carolina complaint that went on to be part of
the landmark Brown v. Board of Education desegregation case.
But it's all there in Columbia, locked in protected, chilly vaults
at the S.C. Department
of Archives and History. It's all the people's incredibly valuable
property.
"Our state archives are a priceless record and historical treasure
of South Carolina's heritage of knowing who we are by knowing who
we've been and a guide to where we should go," said noted historian
Jack Bass of Charleston. "We need to look back, in part, so
we can see where we made mistakes in the past and don't repeat them."
Charles Lesser, senior archivist at the department, said the historical
documents and records held in the state's three vaults, each the
size of half a football field, are "the memory of the state.
It tells us who we are."
Important documents, such as the best preserved set of acts of the
first U.S. Congress that were signed by Thomas Jefferson, generally
are not on public display to protect them from the elements (light,
heat and humidity), which can cause them to deteriorate. But they're
all microfilmed or digitally preserved to allow people to learn
about the state's history close-up.
Unfortunately, the Archives and History department is, like many
smaller state agencies, showing signs of its own wear and tear due
to the up-and-down, drastic budget cuts of the last few years. For
example, in 2001, the agency's state funding was about $5 million
and it had 91 state-funded employees. Today, funding is $3.2 million,
less than the agency's budget was more than 20 years ago. Today,
there are just 51 state-funded staff members, according to new director
Eric Emerson, who started just a week ago after serving as head
of the private Charleston Library Society.
First petition in Briggs v. Elliott case, 1949. See
more. |
A
slideshow on the department's Web site highlights the benefits that
South Carolina receives from historic preservation. People, it seems,
tend to trust historical sites and museums more than anyplace else
as places to learn about history - more than personal accounts,
witnesses and teachers.
According
to the Travel Industry Association of America, four in five of the
146 million Americans who travel include historical and cultural
activities in their trips. And that means money. In 2003, for example,
some 1.6 million people visited South Carolina's historic attractions
and spent more than $438 million.
So it makes sense to preserve our history - its documents, its locations
and more -- for financial reasons, especially with tourism being
such a big part of our state's economy.
But it's not hard to feel the impact of budget cuts or imagine how
more cuts to small agencies could cause them to decline to the point
that they're not able to fulfill their missions in the way required
by state law.
At small state agencies like Archives and History, there's not an
available supply of pork or fat that can be cut. That was sliced
years ago. Legislators need to realize that more budget cuts will
have detrimental impacts beyond causing people to lose their jobs.
They will threaten the foundations of our society, such as the very
documents that served as policy foundations for what we are today.
Mold, mildew, humidity, temperature and the like destroy historical
records. Let's make sure in the days to come that the financial
equivalent doesn't destroy our past and its lessons for the future.

GOOD
NEWS
Kiplinger
says state among 'most tax-friendly' for retirees
Kiplinger.com,
the online presence of the Kiplinger personal-finance newsletter
and magazine, recently launched an interactive map that names South
Carolina as one of the most tax-friendly states for retirees.
"Federal
taxes will be about the same no matter where you live, but state
and local tax burdens can vary greatly, especially if you're retired,"
Kiplinger states. The map points out "Retiree Tax Heavens (and
Hells) 2009-2010)."
The
details about the Palmetto State have this introduction: "South
Carolina extends its Southern hospitality to retirees: The Palmetto
State does not tax Social Security benefits, and it allows residents
65 and older to deduct up to $15,000 per person ($30,000 per couple)
of qualified retirement income when calculating their state income
tax. Retired military personnel 65 and older may deduct up to $10,000
of military retirement benefits. Property taxes are very low and
are based on 4 percent of fair market value; homeowners 65 and older
qualify for a homestead exemption that excludes the first $40,000
of the home's value." More details about state tax policies
follow.

priorities they would like to see the General Assembly address in
January.
In
addition, leaders from the state chamber will present legislative
priorities for businesses across the state and discuss which issues
are likely to be a focus. The state group is hosting nine other
meetings around the state with a similar format.
The

said Scott Woods, chairman of the Charleston Metro Chamber's Public
Policy Committee. "We are able to hear from our members about
their key issues and then compare those to other chambers across
the state."

County
to offer citizens free 'storm spotter' classes
Charleston
County's Emergency Preparedness Division is offering free classes
in September for residents who want to help warn officials about
potentially dangerous changes in local weather conditions.
SKYWARN
is a voluntary program developed by the National Weather Service
to obtain real-time reports of hail size, wind damage, flash flooding,
heavy rain and tornadoes, so that the agency can effectively warn
the public. SKYWARN volunteers serve as storm spotters for the NWS
and local emergency management programs, becoming the eyes and ears
for their communities.
Anyone
interested in becoming a SKYWARN weather spotter can attend one
of the NWS basic and/or advanced weather spotter training classes,
which are hosted by Charleston County personnel. The free classes
last about two hours. The Basic Weather Spotter Class is required

the Advanced Weather Spotter Class. The advanced class provides
additional information and training to those interested in learning
more than is provided in the basic class.
The
basic class meets from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sept. 10 at the Charleston
County Public Service Building, third floor, Room 339 (Emergency

HISTORY

Frank
Howard
Frank
Howard was born in Barlow Bend, Alabama, on March 25, 1909. He graduated
from Murphy High School in Mobile and earned a scholarship from
the Birmingham News in 1927 to attend the University of Alabama,
where he became a member of the varsity football squad. On graduation
in 1931 Howard accepted a position as assistant football coach at
Clemson University under head coach Jess Neely. When Neely departed
for Rice University in 1940, Howard was chosen as his replacement.
Howard |
As
head coach, Howard directed the Clemson football program for the
next thirty seasons (1940-1969), achieving a level of success that
would not be surpassed at the school until the 1980s. Howard's teams
compiled a 165-118-12 record, earned eight conference championships
(two Southern, six Atlantic Coast), and appeared in six postseason
bowl games, including the Sugar Bowl (1959) and two trips to the
Orange Bowl (1951, 1957).
Howard
brought attention to the Clemson football program as much with his
personality as with victories. Howard's Alabama drawl, rotund shape,
and constant tobacco chewing defined his country bumpkin image.
On the after-dinner speaking circuit, Howard entertained listeners
with colorful stories and wry one-liners. He also gave sportswriters
fodder for their columns by carrying on mock feuds with his rival
coaches in the southeast, especially Paul Dietzel at the University
of South Carolina and D.C. "Peahead" Walker of Wake Forest.
Howard
established several traditions that have become a part of the spectacle
and pageantry associated with a Clemson football game. The team's
traditional entrance into the stadium by running down a hill at
the east end zone began simply as the most convenient route to the
field from nearby Fike Field House, where the team dressed. Later
Clemson teams, who had the benefit of dressing rooms at the west
end of the stadium, continued the tradition by boarding buses and
riding back to the east end zone just before kickoff in order to
make their ceremonial entrance into the stadium greeted by cheers
and the school fight song, "Tiger Rag."
Howard
also established the tradition of the players rubbing "Howard's
Rock" (mounted on a pedestal at the top of the hill) for luck
as they entered the stadium. The rock, from Death Valley in California,
was given to Howard by a friend after the Clemson Memorial Stadium
earned the nickname "Death Valley," especially for opponents
such as Presbyterian College and the University of Virginia which
Clemson defeated with regularity. Howard never lost to Virginia,
referring to them as the "white meat" on the annual football
schedule.
Howard
married Anna Tribble in 1933 and they had two children. He died
on January 26, 1996, and was buried at Cemetery Hill, alongside
many former Clemson presidents and faculty. Howard's final resting
place on Cemetery Hill overlooks Memorial Stadium and the football
field that bears his name.

The new Charleston
Singles Club (see the July 30 Today's Focus) has come up
with a neat idea to raise funds for Lowcountry AIDS Service and
help locally owned businesses at the same time. Through Aug. 29,
CSC, founded by Justin VanBogart, is sponsoring "7 Stores,
7 Days," which encourages people to shop at seven different
businesses for one week, a different store each day. Each business
has pledged a percentage of sales for that day to Lowcountry AIDS
Foundation. The event began Aug. 22 and Aug. 23 with the Smoking
Lamp and M. Dumas & Sons. Here are the remaining stores and
the dates they'll be donating to the foundation:
- Cupcake,
Aug. 24.
- Butterfly
Women's Consignment Boutique, Aug. 25.
- Charleston
Power Yoga, Aug. 26.
- Merch Underground
(Music Farm), Aug. 27.
- 52.5, Aug.
28.
On Saturday,
Aug. 29, there will be a party at O'Malley's at which each business
will present a check to the charity. New members will have their
first month's membership fee ($19) plus an even match donated to
Lowcountry AIDS Foundation. More
