TODAY'S
FOCUS
Sometimes even great volunteers are not enough!

SEPT.
6, 2010 -- Volunteers are getting it done year-round at the Rural
Mission. They are helping to repair, rehab and sometimes replace
very substandard, unsafe and dilapidated homes for very low income
families and the elderly. They provide decent and healthy homes
for children to grow and thrive. They join the experienced Rural
Mission staff in trying to improve the lives of rural residents
from Johns to Edisto islands -- an often overlooked, and always
under-served region with a unique culture and heritage. It is also
an area of Charleston County with widespread poverty.

The
year 2009 is testament to their dedication and hard work. Volunteer
teams from many states rehabbed 71 homes and completed three new
homes. They changed lives - they gave hope and a future. However,
much remains to be done with more than 800 families seeking help
through assistance applications to the Mission. With this overwhelming
number, the Mission staff is seeking to identify and assist the
worse-case housing situations where the occupants are unsafe and
at risk.
Why
have things gotten this bad? Excellent question -- but one with
no simple answer. Generational poverty is one cause. The recession
economy and unemployment have alarming made this situation much
worse. To many in the affluent areas of the tri-county region, these
families are remote and unseen.
Mission
staff and volunteers have encountered a sad and disturbing trend
in addition to the pervasive hardships of so many living in these
terrible, unfit homes. When you travel the smaller roads and the
dirt lanes of these islands and come to a truly dilapidated older
home, more often than not there are serious problems with property
ownership. The worst homes are most often on heirs' property. Clear
title is clouded and difficult to ascertain.
Without
clear ownership title, it is extremely difficult and often very
costly to resolve these issues and obtain a building or renovation
permit. Homes continue to fall into great disrepair. In addition,
the Mission has found errors in surveys of property lines and recorded
plats. Obtaining proper approvals and permits becomes almost impossible.
Confronted with these obstacles, homes remain unsafe, unhealthy
and in near third-world unsuitable condition. Elderly residents
remain at risk. Young children continue to live to unfit conditions,
truly lessening their chance in life. These families and very low-income
residents need more help than the Rural Mission staff and volunteers
can provide. Volunteers seeking to use their hands and skills to
help a needy family are not enough.
If you wish to join with the Mission in this rewarding and much
needed work, call the Mission at 768-1720, email at info@ruralmission.org,
find us at www.ruralmission.org
or link to our Facebook
page. If you are able to help address some of these legal issues
that are insurmountable to these families, please contact us at
the Rural Mission.

New children's
book has deep SC connection
By ANDY BRACK, publisher | permalink
SEPT.
3, 2010 This is the story of a guy who made pots in South
Carolina. Throughout his lifetime, he made about 10,000 durable
stoneware pots, large and small, for storing food and just about
anything else you needed on a plantation.

Brack
|
Yes,
plantation.
You
see, the potter was named Dave. He was a slave in Edgefield County.
During
his life and well into present day, hes become pretty famous
for pots, particularly those with short verses of his poetry etched
in the side.
Daves
story, made famous a dozen years back at a major show of his work
at the McKissick Museum at the University of South Carolina, is
back in the limelight thanks to a delightful new childrens
book by award-winning Tennessee-born writer Laban
Carrick Hill. Dave the Potter: Artist, Poet, Slave,
published this week by Little, Brown and Company ($16.99), is in
stores and available online.
Every
time I look at Daves poems, the deeper they become and the
more affected I am by them emotionally, psychologically and intellectually,
Hill said in a telephone interview from his Vermont home. I
think hes an important poet and I dont think people
realize it yet.
Two
of the greatest poets of the 19th century, he pointed out, werent
traditionally published. Walt Whitmans first book of poetry,
Hill said, was self-published in a phrenologists office. Emily
Dickinson didnt publish at all during her lifetime.
Dave
used the outside of his pots to publish small verses, such as this
couplet from 1857: I wonder where is all my relation | friendship
to all and, every nation.
Hill
observed, This could have been a reference to the loss of
his family during slave migrations from places like Edgefield
County to the Mississippi Delta.
In
Daves lifetime of making storage pots, only about two dozen
remain with verses on the side. Today, some of his pots are quite
valuable with one recently selling for more than $40,000.
Jill
Koverman, curator of collections at the McKissick
Museum, said she was able to connect dots when working on the
Dave exhibition years back to confirm that Dave the potter was named
David Drake, according to the 1870 census. He was believed
to have died during that decade as there was no mention of him in
the 1880 count.
To
be a master potter within the framework of slavery is an achievement,
Koverman said, noting that Dave the potter was recognized routinely
during his lifetime as an outstanding craftsman by peers and those
above him socially. He was written about in the newspaper
quite often.
She
said most people dont think of slaves as anything more than
field hands or house workers. But there were many craftsmen, brick
masons and builders. Whats amazing about Dave the potter is
he had the audacity to sign his name on his pots. He left
a clear record of his work.

Hill
|
Koverman
said Hills book, beautifully illustrated by highly-successful
artist Bryan
Collier, encourages youngsters to learn about history, art and
culture. What is nice is you have this visual connection
this smaller book that looks at Daves story in different
ways.
Hill
said the story of Dave still inspires him.
He
reminds me to continue to do what I care about and just hope and
assume other people will find it of interest, Hill reflected.
The books that have done the best are the books Ive
written because a deep need, much like Dave needed to carve
verses on the side of pots.
In
the end, though, Hills book is a story for children about
making pots.
There
are all sorts of exciting things that can come from the story,
he said. Also, the poem in the book is a poem about how to
make a pot. They can learn something there.
In
a picture book, its the pictures, the emotion experience
the visceral experience of the book and story. Thats whats
primary. And its about making a pot. Its as simple as
that. Thats what Dave did.

Firefly
Distillery, creator of the popular Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka, recently
launched Sea Island Rums, and if you sample some you can help to
feed the needy.
Firefly
Distillery is donating $10 for every case of Sea Island Rums sold
in Charleston, Dorchester and Berkeley counties to Feed the Need,
a non-profit organization contributing to Tri-county Family Ministries,

House. The company's distributor, RNDC, will donate $5 for every
case sold in the tri-county as well.
The
limited edition line includes Carolina Gold Rum and Java Rhum, a
coffee and spice-infused elixir. The latter lends itself well to

Hugh
Swinton Legaré:
Conservative, but anti-nullification
Legaré,
Hugh Swinton (1797-1843). Legislator, U.S. attorney general, writer,
intellectual. Legaré was born in Charleston on January 2,
1797, of Scots and Huguenot ancestry, the son of Solomon Legaré
and Mary Splatt Swinton. A childhood illness left him with stunted
limbs. As a boy he studied under the great schoolmaster Moses Waddel
at Willington Academy before entering the new South Carolina College
as a sophomore in 1811 at the age of fourteen. He was valedictorian
of the class of 1814. From 1818 to 1820 he studied abroad - French
and Italian in Paris, and jurisprudence in Edinburgh.

Legaré
|
Legaré
enjoyed successful public and private careers. He studied law in
Charleston, served in the General Assembly (1820-1822, 1824-1830),
managed a plantation on Johns Island, and served as attorney general
of South Carolina from 1830 to 1832.
His
services, however, were not limited to his native state. In 1832
Legaré was appointed chargé d'affaires in Belgium,
and he was elected to Congress in 1836 as a Union Democrat. He was
appointed U.S. attorney general in 1841 in John Tyler's cabinet.
On Daniel Webster's resignation in 1843,
Legaré became secretary of state ad interim, but he would
die within three months. He was an effective attorney general who
was for states' rights but against nullification.
With
Stephen Elliott, Legaré founded the Southern Review (1828-1832),
which became the model for all subsequent Charleston magazines and
was popularly known as Legaré's magazine. He supplied much
of its content. At the time of his death Legaré had enough
manuscripts for a two-volume edition of his works, which were edited
by his sister, Mary Legaré, and published posthumously in
1845.
The
Southern Review exemplified the conservatism of southern professional
men, especially in Charleston, beginning with issues such as states'
rights and high tariffs and extending to agrarianism and slavery.
But there were two issues that divided conservatives, unionism and
nullification, the latter opposed by Legaré.
As
literary critics, Charleston conservatives such as Legaré
were slower in accepting romantic theory and practice than were
those in New York and Boston, although Legaré did express
occasional praise for Lord Byron, Walter Scott, and William Cullen
Bryant. South Carolina had a tradition-based society to which Legaré
was a leading contributor. A lifelong bachelor, Legaré died
in Boston on June 20, 1843. He was buried in Magnolia Cemetery,
Charleston.

Five magical
moments
Wenger
|
Sheri Grace
Wenger has been making theater magic in the Lowcountry for 21 years.
So we asked the founder of Midtown and Sheri Grace Productions for
her five most magical theater moments. "This was a hard assignment,"
Wenger says, "but a pleasant one."
- The Grand
Opening of Midtown Theatre, our first, which we built out of a
vacated Hardees downtown on the corner of King and Calhoun streets.
Everyone involved with the transformation was a theater person.
We had actors painting bathrooms, drilling up tile and hanging
lights; sound men building the stage and spray painting the walls
black; and stage managers building the box office. The process
took less than three months. Opening the show on the first night
was one of the proudest moments of my life. It proved that theater
people can do anything!
- Every time
I've watched the song "Skid Row" performed in "Little
Shop of Horrors" (a musical I've directed four times.) It
is an extremely powerful song about poverty, and never fails to
give me goose bumps.
- The final
scene in "Cabaret", when Sally Bowles, Cliff and Fraulein
Schneider watch the Nazis forcibly marching their German friends
off to the death camps. I could never watch that scene without
tears.
- Opening
night of the first show I ever directed for my own company and
built from the ground up: "A ... My Name is Alice,"
for dinner theatre at the Colony House.
- 1992: Driving
up to the theatre downtown where we were producing "Always,
Patsy Cline" for the first time for the Piccolo Spoleto Festival.
It was pouring rain, and there was a line of people with umbrellas
open, wrapped around the block waiting to get into the theatre.
That magical show is one of my all-time favorites. I've since
produced/directed it 9 more times!
The Charleston
Acting Studio on James Island is home of Midtown/Sheri Grace Productions,
and the location for an education program that has operated for
three years teaching acting and theatre arts to people from age
5 to 95. The Studio has both a 45-seat theatre, and a second theatre
that seats 65. For
more information, go online.
