TODAY'S
FOCUS
Business
leaders have chance to chart lawmakers' courses
By OTIS B. RAWL JR.
President and CEO, S.C. Chamber of Commerce
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com
AUG.
31, 2009 -- Members of the S.C. Chamber of Commerce and Lowcountry
chambers of commerce will meet Tuesday in Charleston and Hardeeville
to discuss legislative priorities for the 2010 legislative session
to continue the mission of improving South Carolina's global competitiveness
and increasing the state's wealth and prosperity. This important
policy-changing work begins at home, at the grassroots level.
Rawl |
The
S.C. Chamber, as the unified voice of business and industry, serves
as a catalyst for statewide wealth creation and global competitiveness.
It is this mission that encompasses all South Carolinians. When
we create jobs and improve economic development in this state, we
provide wealth and prosperity for all our citizens. We cannot do
this without a plan, and these annual grassroots meetings constitute
the first step in that plan. When we hold the last grassroots meeting
in Greenwood on Sept. 9, we will have met with more than 1,000 business
leaders to develop 2010 legislative priorities, both on the state
and federal level.
Two
grassroots meetings will be held in the Lowcountry on Sept. 1: from
9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce, and
from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Palmetto Electric Cooperative in Hardeeville.
There is no cost to attend either meeting.
These
annual open-forum sessions are the first step in creating the 2010
Competitiveness Agenda, the business community's annual list of
legislative priorities. They will begin with a legislative review
before moving into candid and open discussion of legislative issues
that businesses believe must be addressed.
With the support of local chambers of commerce across the state,
the grassroots regional meetings have continued to successfully
grow and grow, bringing compelling issues to the attention of our
elected officials and, in turn, contributing to the creation of
strong legislative priorities. Time and again, the business community
has seen the power of a well-unified grassroots network in pushing
through vital issues and halting those that are harmful to the state's
business climate.
Join
us Tuesday for the grassroots regional meeting in your area. To
register, visit http://www.scchamber.net,
or e-mail grassroots@scchamber.net.
The
S.C. Chamber of Commerce, the nation's first state chamber to earn
the "Accredited with Distinction" designation from the
U.S. Chamber, is the state's largest statewide broad-based business
and industry trade association representing more than 6,500 member
companies and more than 600,000 member employees, with 90 percent
of membership composed of small businesses. As the unified voice
for business and industry, the Chamber is a catalyst for increasing
per-capita income and enhancing the state's global competitiveness
in order to improve the quality of life for all South Carolinians.

Thoughts about
Santee Cooper, Sanford and Kennedy
By
ANDY BRACK, publisher
CharlestonCurrents.com
AUG.
31, 2009 – News last week that Santee Cooper was suspending
efforts to build a 600-megawatt coal-fired power plant in the Pee
Dee found conservationists and environmentalists giving a lot of
high fives to each other.
Brack |
As
the utility spent hundreds of thousands of dollars beating the drum
about the need for the new plant, grassroots and greenie organizers
mobilized support against the facility. But while their efforts
were helpful, the shelving the plant basically was the result of
one of the utility’s biggest customers, Central Electric Power
Cooperative, deciding to buy more power elsewhere than the proposed
plant would have produced in the years ahead.
Voila – the need for the extra power plant here vanished because
Central Electric plans to get electricity from Duke Power in North
Carolina.
What wasn’t picked up by most of the media this week was the
doubletalk by Santee Cooper about power and money. On one hand,
the company said it ended the plant for three reasons: reduced demand
for electricity due to the recession, proposed federal regulations
that would boost the cost of the plant and Central Electric’s
reduced needs.
An Aug. 24 news release noted, “[Chairman O.L.] Thompson added
that Santee Cooper customers could benefit from the decision, because
they may not need to bear the capital costs of constructing the
proposed Pee Dee facility.” It later noted that the utility’s
“sales” were down 5 percent.
In a completely separate news release delivered in the same e-mail
as the one above, Santee Cooper announced “an overall 3.4 percent
base rate increase beginning Nov. 1, 2009 to offset rising costs
of operating and maintaining the utility’s generation, transmission
and distribution facilities.”
So on one hand, customers will save money (over the long term),
but they’ll face immediate increases to level out the company’s
decreased revenues. Truth certainly is stranger than fiction. Thanks,
Santee Cooper.

So
Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer, in an apparent attempt to repair his political
negatives, now wants Gov. Mark Sanford to resign over the whole
mess over his love affair and plane trips. Bonus: If done in the
next month, Bauer won’t run for governor. Translation: Bauer
is pandering.
|
"The
state has horrible unemployment and our leaders need to be
focused on getting a lot of people jobs, not fiddling with
the one job of a washed-up politician."
|
As
some outlets have suggested, Bauer has reinjected politics into
the Sanford scandal just as it was kind of simmering down. Yes,
the press continues to scrutinize flights, but they’re finally
reporting that other governors upgraded seats when flying on state
dime.
We like most what U.S. Rep. Gresham Barrett, a Republican gubernatorial
candidate, observed – that all of the continuing focus on Sanford’s
peccadilloes with talk of impeachment, resignation and whatnot –
is allowing state lawmakers to keep their eyes off the real ball.
The state has horrible unemployment and our leaders need to be focused
on getting a lot of people jobs, not fiddling with the one job of
a washed-up politician.
While we’ve never been a Sanford fan, he should stick to his
guns now and not be “railroaded” out of office by political
stunts. Lawmakers should focus on jobs, not a leader they haven’t
really enjoyed working with anyway.
*
* *
The
recent passing of U.S. Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., has played a lot
in the news, but little has been said of the liberal senator’s
lasting impact here in South Carolina. Due to his hard work, he
changed lives of regular people in major ways. Here are just three:
-
Health care. If you are one of 300,000 South Carolinians
who gets health care through one of the 22 federally-funded community
health centers, you can thank Teddy Kennedy and former U.S. Sen.
Fritz Hollings.
-
Minimum wage. If you make a $7.25 minimum wage today, you
can thank Ted Kennedy, a tireless advocate for raising the minimum
wage. Without his efforts, you’d probably still be making
$5.15.
-
Disabilities. Kennedy is largely responsible for legislation
that makes it easier for the disabled to participate in our communities.
If
you wonder whether Teddy Kennedy’s impact will be missed in
Washington, all you have to do is ask any one of several Republican
senators in Washington who enjoyed working with him.

Citadel to
host leading historians for community lectures
Three
prominent historians and authors will bring their expertise on barbecue,
Andrew Johnson and the culture of the military to The Citadel this
fall for the Fulghum Lecture Series. "This year's Fulghum series
features the most acclaimed living scholar of the South, the author
of a current national best-seller, and one of the most promising
young historians of the region," said Bo Moore, dean of the
School of Humanities and Social Sciences. The lectures are free
and open to the public unless otherwise noted.
John
Shelton Reed, author of "Holy Smoke: The Big Book of North
Carolina Barbecue," will kick off the series at 7 p.m. Sept.
10 in Bond Hall, Room 165. Reed, the 2007 Mark Clark Professor of
History at The Citadel, will give a talk titled "The Balkans
of Barbecue: Pit-Cooked Meat in the Carolinas." Reed is widely
recognized as the leading authority on what constitutes modern Southern
identity. He is professor emeritus of sociology at the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he co-founded the Center
for the Study of the American South.
At
7 p.m. Oct. 8 at the Holliday Alumni Center, author David Stewart
will discuss his new book, "Impeached: The Trial of President
Andrew Johnson and the Fight for Lincoln's Legacy." An attorney
in Washington, D.C., Stewart has argued appeals all the way to the
U.S. Supreme Court and was law clerk to Justice Lewis Powell. Stewart's
talk is jointly sponsored by the South Carolina Historical Society.
Tickets are $15 a person; admission is free to the first 200 people
with Citadel identification.
On
Nov. 12 at 7 p.m., Alex Macaulay, Citadel Class of 1990, will discuss
his new book, "Marching in Step: Masculinity, Citizenship and
The Citadel in Post-World War II America." The lecture will
be held in Duckett Hall Auditorium. Macaulay's book, due out in
November, explores the issue of Southern distinctiveness and sheds
light on the South's real and imagined relationships with the rest
of America.
The
Fulghum Lecture Series was created in 2007 by the Department of
History Southern Studies Program to promote a better understanding
of the American South and to help prepare students to be principled
leaders in the region. The series is named after its benefactor,
Leonard C. Fulghum Jr. of Charleston, Citadel Class of 1951, and
member emeritus of The Citadel Board of Visitors.

HISTORY
SPOTLIGHT
Indigo
(First
of two parts)
Indigo,
a plant that produces a blue dye, was an important part of South
Carolina's eighteenth-century economy. It was grown commercially
from 1747 to 1800 and was second only to rice in export value. Carolina
indigo was the fifth most valuable commodity exported by Britain's
mainland colonies and was England's primary source of blue dye in
the late-colonial era.
South
Carolina experimented with indigo production as early as the 1670s
but could not compete with superior dyes produced in the West Indies.
Cultivating and processing the plant was complex, and planters found
other commodities more reliable and easier to produce. Indigo was
reintroduced in the 1740s during King George's War (1739-1748),
which disrupted the established rice trade by inflating insurance
and shipping charges and also cut off Britain's supply of indigo
from the French West Indies.
In
South Carolina, Eliza Lucas Pinckney and Andrew Deveaux experimented
with cultivation in the 1730s and 1740s. Pinckney's husband, Charles,
printed articles in the Charleston Gazette promoting indigo. In
London colonial agent James Crokatt persuaded Parliament in 1749
to subsidize Carolina indigo production by placing a bounty of six
pence per pound on the dye.
In
addition to economic motives, indigo production also succeeded because
it fit within the existing agricultural economy. The crop could
be grown on land not suited for rice and tended by slaves, so planters
and farmers already committed to plantation agriculture did not
have to reconfigure their land and labor. In 1747, 138,300 pounds
of dye, worth 16,803 pounds sterling, was exported to England. The
amount and value of indigo exports increased in subsequent years,
peaking in 1775 with a total of 1,122,200 pounds, valued at 242,395
pounds sterling. England received almost all Carolina indigo exports,
although by the 1760s a small percentage was being shipped to northern
colonies.

 THE
LIST
C of C Class
of '13
Last Thursday's
List looked at the incoming freshman class at The Citadel, so today
we offer equal time to the College of Charleston. The college received
a record 13,000 applications for the 2009-10 year and, as a college
press release notes, the students come from "as close as a
few blocks away and as far as the North Pole (Alaska)." Here
are some fun facts about C of C's Class of 2013.
- The middle
50 percent of freshmen accepted scored between 1080 and 1240 (in-state),
and 1140 and 1280 (out-of-state) on the SAT.
- Largest
feeder high schools: Wando High School (78), Fort Dorchester High
School (31), Lexington High School (31), Bishop England High School
(27), Summerville High School (26).
- Most common
names among female students: Sarah, Lauren, Elizabeth, Katherine.
- Most common
names among male students: John, Matthew, William, Andrew.
- The class
includes both a student who was attacked by a shark and a student
who invented a shark-repellent surfboard, as well as a student
who sang at the opening ceremonies for the Beijing Olympics, a
former Marine, a competitive downhill skier, a U.S. Secret Service
federal officer, three students who got perfect 800s on part of
their SATS (two on the verbal section, one on math) and an Honors
College student who begins freshman year with 56 credits -- almost
enough to be a junior.
