'Drowning in need': Pleas for help up 215% at Rural Mission
By LINDA D. GADSON
Director, Rural Mission
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com
MAY
20, 2010 -- Despite some progress, many families and elderly residents
in and around Charleston do not have decent homes. Many live in
shocking conditions. Poverty is overwhelming, especially in the
rural areas just a few minutes away. The Sea Islands from Johns
to Edisto islands, right here in Charleston's backyard, hide thousands
of people who are living in substandard homes that are not much
different from what you would expect in Third World countries.
Gadson |
We
see these neighbors each day doing honest and hard work. They may
be farmers, laborers or service workers. What we don't see is their
nightly return to very substandard homes, many lacking water, heat
and safety. The roof may have a tarp to cover a large leaking hole
when it rains. The floors may be collapsing and the windows broken,
covered with cardboard or plastic. These are homes that most of
us can't imagine living in. The conditions that they live in would
wrench the heart of any compassionate person.
It
boggles the mind to think that this is happening right here in our
wonderful city -- the Holy City.
The
Rural Mission trains and directs volunteers to help make as many
of these dilapidated homes as possible safe and adequate. One young
volunteer last month wrote back to the Rural Mission, saying:
"This
woman lost her job and was living in a half-burned house with no
electricity or running water. She had very little food and no money
and used a kerosene lamp to heat her room and cook what little perishable
food she was able to keep without refrigeration. She was so joyful
even though she was in this horrible situation -- the worst of situations."
Many pass this little half-burned house each day on Betsy Kerrison
Parkway on the way to Kiawah and Seabrook.
Many
impoverished residents in similar overwhelming hardship depend upon
the Rural Mission for help. For more than 40 years, the Rural Mission
has been in the forefront of the effort to help those living in
such dire circumstances. The mission has helped thousands upon thousands
of families by repairing damaged roofs, windows, plumbing and other
needs to help them live with some degree of comfort.
The
problem keeps growing. Since mid-2008, the requests have grown overwhelmingly
by 215 percent to 754 applications today. The mission is drowning
in need. As we drown, beautiful families go without. Children and
elderly residents live in hovels with little hope for assistance
due to the enormous volume of requests.
We
at the Rural Mission need your help in order to survive. Over the
past six months, the Mission has been forced due to economic circumstances
to lay off several of its staff members, leaving us unable to respond
to all but the greatest emergencies from among these hundreds of
desperate pleas for help.
We
urge you to help. We as a community cannot allow those around us
to live in such squalor. Please contact the mission today at 768-1720
to donate or volunteer. Please learn more at http://www.ruralmission.org
and take this opportunity to donate online through the security
of Network for Good. You can also contact the mission via mail at
P.O. Box 235, Johns Island, SC 29457. Thank you in advance.

Mission is a nonprofit partner of Charleston Currents.

Bye-bye,
berry: It's been a great season for strawberries
By
ANN THRASH, editor
MAY
20, 2010 -- The end is near for another season of local strawberries,
and by most accounts, 2010 will go into the books as a great year.
That's been true not just in the Lowcountry but reportedly all over
the state, with plenty of good-tasting, fat berries to be had at
farmers' markets or out in the u-pick fields.
Thrash |
While
we've enjoyed our share of berries, this is the point in the season
when we've been through our usual repertoire of recipes (strawberry
shortcake, strawberry bread, strawberry jam, just plain fresh berries
right out of the carton) and are ready for something a little different.
Whenever anyone asks me for something new to do with strawberries,
I share this recipe - Roasted Strawberries with Black Pepper and
Balsamic Vinegar, served over vanilla ice cream.
Strawberries,
black pepper and balsamic vinegar might sound like an offbeat combination,
but it's really delicious (although I don't think many young kids
would necessarily go for it - you might want to save this one for
the grownups). It's very easy, and it's been a favorite since I
discovered it about a decade ago in a cookbook called "Salt
& Pepper: 135 Perfectly Seasoned Recipes" by Michele Anna
Jordan (Broadway Books, 1999).
Back
then, balsamic vinegar was just starting to get into the hands of
most typical home cooks, so it seemed a little more exotic then
than it does now - but ten years later, the recipe is as great as
ever.
Give
this one a try with one of those last few baskets of local strawberries,
and let us know what you think.
Roasted
Strawberries with Black Pepper
(Makes 4 servings)
2
pint baskets of strawberries, stems removed
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Rinse
the strawberries in cool water, place in a strainer or colander,
and shake off most of the water. Slice the berries about 1/8-inch
thick, place them in a large bowl, and sprinkle with the sugar.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 4 hours.
Preheat
the oven to 375 degrees. Toss the berries with the black pepper,
add the balsamic vinegar, and put the berries and all the accumulated
juices into a large ovenproof dish. Roast for 8-10 minutes, until
the juices are bubbling and the berries are hot but not mushy.
Spoon the berries and juices over bowls of vanilla ice cream.
Serve with cookies alongside, too, if desired.

romance between Andrew Ladd and Melissa Gardner beginning when they
are in elementary school and continuing as Ladd becomes a powerful
U.S. senator.
Julian
Wiles, Charleston Stage's founder and artistic director, says, "Carrie
Preston played Anne Frank for us years ago before moving on to a
successful Broadway, film and TV career, and we're so excited that
she and Michael are returning to Charleston to help us reopen the
Dock Street Theatre."
The
Sizzling Summer Soiree will begin at 6:30 with cocktails in the
Dock Street's foyer and upstairs drawing room. Those who purchase

PRC
names winning schools in Get Out Get Active contest
Drayton
Hall Elementary School's Kaleidoscope after-school program and A.C.
Corcoran Elementary School topped the list of winners for the 2009-2010
Get Out Get Active challenge. With the goal of promoting a healthy
lifestyle through recreation, nutrition and physical fitness activities,
Get Out Get Active (GOGA) is a competitive program offered annually
throughout Charleston County Schools as part of the National Alliance
For Youth Sports.
The
GOGA fitness challenge is designed to motivate children and their
families to develop an active lifestyle by encouraging participation
in a wide variety of sports, games and other physical activities.
Participating students watch a video featuring activities occurring
at Charleston County Park and Recreation Commission sites and other
locations, then track their own activities on a chart that parents,
coaches or teachers verify. The goal is to achieve a minimal level
of physical activity each week.
At
the end of the semester, each student returns his or her chart,
and the school with the greatest percentage of charts returned then
qualifies for the GOGA fitness challenge school recognition program.
In
the after-school division, the top three schools were: first place,
Drayton Hall Elementary Kaleidoscope (100 percent participation,
104 students), second, James B. Edwards Elementary Kaleidoscope
(100 percent participation, 102 students) and third, Ladson Elementary
Kaleidoscope (100 percent participation, 35 students).
In
the elementary school division, first place went to A.C. Corcoran
Elementary (100 percent participation, 600 students); second, Chicora
Elementary (100 percent participation, 365 students) and third,
Mount Pleasant Academy (100 percent participation, 428 students).

ENCYCLOPEDIA
Battle
of Secessionville
In
April 1862 Union generals David Hunter and Henry Benham decided
to assault Charleston by marching one wing across Johns Island and
sailing another for Battery Island. From there the combined columns
would rush across James Island, establish batteries at Charleston
harbor, and batter the city into submission.
 |
Union
forces occupied Battery Island and Johns Island during the first
week of June, but they were surprised at the spirited resistance
of Confederate forces. Before Hunter returned to Hilton Head on
June 11, he warned Benham not to attack. Benham, however, used Hunter's
absence to organize an assault on the Confederate Tower Battery
near the planter village of Secessionville, an operation he launched
on the morning of June 16. One hundred infantrymen and two artillery
companies under Colonel Thomas G. Lamar recoiled before the first
Federal assault, but the battery's defenders, supported by the timely
arrival of reinforcements, threw back the Union troops in hand-to-hand
fighting. A second Northern wave crashed against the battery's left
flank, but the Confederates again withstood the storm. Meanwhile,
Lamar's artillery turned the expanse west of the battery into a
killing field.
Unbeknownst
to the Northerners, the battery stood at the choke point of a telescoping
peninsula. The marshy terrain forced the Federal attackers into
the mouths of the Confederate guns, and the impassable "pluff
mud" prevented Benham's second wing from attacking the fort's
northern flank. These Federals established a firing line just 125
yards away, but Colonel Johnson Hagood directed a Confederate attack
on the Unionists from the north, while another Confederate battalion
confronted the Federals from the south. Aided by nearby artillery,
the Confederates repelled the Northerners with a ring of fire. After
three frustrating hours, Benham withdrew his forces.
Of
the 4,500 Federal attackers, nearly 700 became casualties. Confederate
forces totaled only about 1,000, with a loss of fewer than 200 men.
Secessionville blunted what proved to be the North's best chance
to capture Charleston. The Civil War may have produced larger engagements
with heavier casualties, but the battle at Secessionville remains
one of South Carolina's most important.

THE
LIST
Five pats
on the back
April and May
have good months for Charleston in the national press. Here are
five distinctions and laudatory mentions for the Holy City and various
venues.
- An April
25 article in the New York Times Sunday Travel section included
Charleston as one of "Eight
Off-Season Getaways." The story said, in part, "High
temperatures in Charleston average about 76 degrees in April and
May, near-perfect weather for exploring its refurbished historic
downtown. A new waterfront park and pier were installed last summer
in the town of Mount Pleasant, just over the Cooper River. And
the nearby Union Pier Terminal will be welcoming more Carnival
cruise ships (in May), conveniently coinciding with the opening
of new hotels, a renovated open-air market and the restoration
of cultural landmarks."
- Tennis
Resorts Online named Kiawah Island and Wild Dunes as the No.
1 and No. 2 tennis resort in the world - that's right, the world.
Kiawah was No. 1 last year, too, and Wild Dunes moved up this
year from No. 10 to No. 2.
- A new U.S.
News & World Report magazine travel
site ranks Charleston among cities nationwide in a couple
of categories. We come in at 10th Best Honeymoon Destination,
12th Best Romantic Getaway and 19th Best Destination in America.
- Charleston
ranks 154th nationwide in the third annual Cars.com
Green Cities Index, based on car-shopping behavior on its Web
site and what percentage of car-shopping activity involves doing
research on hybrid vehicles. Coming in 154th nationwide isn't
bad, but some other S.C. cities did even better: Columbia came
in at 110th and the Greenville-Spartanburg-Anderson area ranked
123rd.
- Bicycling
Magazine ranks Charleston at No. 29 on its list of Top 50
Bike Friendly Cities. We were the only city in the Palmetto State
to make the list.
