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.


Brooks

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, he’s become pretty famous for pots, particularly those with short verses of his poetry etched in the side.

Dave’s 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 children’s 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 Dave’s 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 he’s an important poet and I don’t think people realize it yet.”

Two of the greatest poets of the 19th century, he pointed out, weren’t traditionally published. Walt Whitman’s first book of poetry, Hill said, was self-published in a phrenologist’s office. Emily Dickinson didn’t 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 Dave’s 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 don’t think of slaves as anything more than field hands or house workers. But there were many craftsmen, brick masons and builders. What’s 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 Hill’s 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 Dave’s 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 I’ve written because a deep need,” much like Dave needed to carve verses on the side of pots.

In the end, though, Hill’s 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, it’s the pictures, the emotion experience – the visceral experience of the book and story. That’s what’s primary. And it’s about making a pot. It’s as simple as that. That’s what Dave did.”

Foundation's bridge run grant applications available

The Cooper River Bridge Run Grants Program has 2011 grant applications available.

Begun in 2006, the Cooper River Bridge Run Grants Program annually awards cash and in-kind grant awards to nonprofit organizations. Grant applicants can submit program proposals to advance the Cooper River Bridge Run's objective of "the promotion of regular physical activity for a healthy lifestyle."

Grant requests of $500-$1,500 each will be accepted from any nonprofit organization addressing that objective for residents of the three-county area served by the fund.

The deadline to apply is Nov. 1. Recommendations for grants will be made by an Advisory Committee by Dec. 1.

Guidelines and application instructions are available on the "Nonprofits" tab of Coastal Community Foundation's Web site. Charitable organizations may also request a copy of the application guidelines by calling the Foundation at (843) 723-3635, or by e-mail at Richard@CoastalCommunityFoundation.org or from Karen Hauck at Karen@kbhsolutions.com.

Observe Restaurant Week with 3-course meals

The Charleston area celebrates Restaurant Week Sept. 8-19 with $20 and $30 three course menus at more than 50 participating restaurants.

From the sophisticated presentation of tilefish at The Ocean Room at The Sanctuary at Kiawah Island Resort to the savory spanakopita of the family-owned Zeus Grill, participating restaurants range from elegant dining rooms to more casual establishments. The Charleston area is the only place outside of New York City to produce three consecutive James Beard Foundation award-winning chefs.

Tickets are not required; however, reservations are strongly advised. More online.

A dark and stormy drink

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, East Cooper Meals on Wheels, Crisis Ministries and Neighborhood 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 the Dark and Stormy recipe, a cocktail of dark rum and ginger beer popular in Bermuda, Charleston's island neighbor.

Linton buys Woodlands Inn

Local attorney Johnny Linton has purchased the five-star Woodlands Inn in Summerville with plans to continue and expand the inn's role in the area and the state.


Linton

The Linton family bought the 11-acre property, which is located just a few miles from their Summerville home, from Virginia-based entrepreneur Sheila C. Johnson. Linton will continue practicing law full time at Duffy & Young, LLC, in Charleston. Johnson's Salamander Hospitality company has been retained to manage the hotel, which is one of only six properties in the United States to hold the Forbes Five Star and AAA Five Diamond ratings for both lodging and dining.

Last month, Woodlands was ranked as the fourth-finest hotel in the United States by readers of Travel + Leisure.

Linton said his plans include opening a culinary academy at the inn to share the region's culinary traditions.

SC ENCYCLOPEDIA | permalink
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.
