Staff reports | An elegant 1903 high-style Queen Anne Victorian house on Rutledge Avenue near Colonial Lake will be featured March 27 to April 28 as the 42nd annual designer showhouse for the Charleston Symphony Orchestra League.
“We are thrilled to present our 2019 Designer Showhouse, where the focus is on our beautiful city, its exceptional architecture and our talented and wonderful designers,” said Kitty Reid, president of the league. “Springtime is so special in Charleston, and this most cherished event welcomes thousands of visitors to Charleston each year. We’re so happy to be a part of presenting our city and all it has to offer to the world.”
Visitors will find three levels of spaces presented by local interior designers. The home at 16 Rutledge Avenue was built by Charleston Mayor Wilson G. Harvey, later lieutenant governor and governor of South Carolina, who lived next door. The Harveys are one of only three families to own the house, which retains its dramatic period exterior ornamentation and elegant interior features. This year, the house is generously provided by Wendy and Allen Gibson and represented by Margaret von Werssowetz of Handsome Properties.
The house, as well as a SCORE pop-up shop with specially-curated items, will be open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Sundays, except on Easter. To learn more about the showcase and designers, click here. Tickets at the door will be available beginning March 27 for $25 each. All proceeds benefit the Charleston Symphony and fund music scholarships.
A special ribbon-cutting ceremony will occur during a $100-per-ticket black-tie-optional preview part at 6 p.m. March 26 where the Charleston Symphony Brass Ensemble will offer music.
The Charleston Symphony Orchestra League is a multi-talented group of more than 250 dedicated volunteers whose purpose is to support the local symphony, encourage talented young musicians and inspire classical music lovers for generations to come. The organization is the largest institutional donor to the symphony, providing over $210,000 last year. The annual Symphony Designer Showhouse is the largest fundraiser.

BRACK: White, Griffin launch Nerf campaigns for mayor
By Andy Brack, editor and publisher | The silly season is here already in Charleston city politics.
In the last week, two city council members, 45-year-old Gary White and 23-year-old Harry Griffin, huffed and puffed that they are running for mayor against first-term incumbent John Tecklenburg.
Their reasons for running appear to be that they don’t much like Tecklenburg, who has been thwarted by the likes of White and Griffin and other council members who don’t seem to want to move quickly on curbing rampant development that’s destroying the character of the city or dealing proactively with flooding.
First rule of politics: When you run for something, have a reason.
White, who has been in office for a dozen years, mentions a park on Daniel Island as his proudest elected accomplishment. According to a story last week, “White did not detail any particular plank on which he disagrees with Tecklenburg, but he said, ‘I can tell you the one key difference. I’m about action. We’ve studied enough. It’s time to take action.’” Action must mean something that takes 12 years.
As for Griffin, elected less than two years ago to council, we can’t figure out why he wants to be mayor other than he’s always “had my sights set on making a difference.” At this point, we don’t see any difference Griffin has actually made, other than being good about talking about what he’s always wanted to do.
Both he and White would do better to spend more time with Tecklenburg, who has been working on improving the quality of life throughout the city and protecting it from flooding, instead of hanging out with council members like Bill Moody and Keith Waring, who simply are against just about anything Tecklenburg offers.
Unfortunately, all of them will keep heaving arrows at Tecklenburg until November. Fortunately, they’re Nerf arrows.

SPOTLIGHT: Charleston RiverDogs
The public spiritedness of our underwriters allows us to bring Charleston Currents to you at no cost. This issue’s featured underwriter is the Charleston RiverDogs, whose Charleston 2019 opener is April 11 against Greensboro.
In 2018, the club celebrated its 25th season (that’s 175 years in “Dog” years!!) and, for the second season in a row, hosted more than 300,000 fans. The team had a 64-72 record, but saw 15 players promoted to higher levels in the club’s structure during the season. Click here to review the season.
The Lowcountry’s leader in sports entertainment, Charleston RiverDogs baseball is an attractive, affordable medium for your group or business. The RiverDogs develop the next major league stars for the 27-time World Champion New York Yankees at one of the finest ballparks in Minor League Baseball — Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park.
Three short words sum up the everyday approach taken by the Charleston RiverDogs front office. The brainchild of club President Emeritus Mike Veeck, the nine-letter phrase “Fun Is Good” is meant to be a guideline and daily reminder of how employees should approach their jobs and in turn capture the imagination of the fans to turn them into repeat customers.

Hike is a long series of 8-mile camping trips
Editor’s note: Retired newsman Jerry Adams is hiking the Appalachian Trail (AT) for a second time this summer. Here’s an excerpted version of a longer post that’s available at at-grasshopper.com or on Facebook.
By Jerry Adams, contributing editor
MARCH 14, 2019 | Taking an unexpected day off, wary of the weather and listening to my body and giving it a day rest.
This isn’t playing out the way it did eight years ago, but, then, I am not the same man who did this incredible journey eight years ago. Not even close.
Adams
My sensei might have phrased it thus: “You must empty the cup, grasshopper. You must empty the cup.” Translation – you must give up a lot of what you think you know so that you have room to learn more.
I was/am proud of the 2,000 Miler badge from the Appalachian Trail Conservancy that I earned in 2011. I affixed the patch to my backpack, assuming that the lessons of the past would help me in the present. It didn’t play out that way, as I believe I was trying to thru-hike the way I did then – and on that schedule – when I was not prepared either mentally or physically for that. Silly me.
A short day to a motel room off trail ended up turning into a full day off at a hostel. My afternoon nap convinced me that the 70 miles I had hiked since getting to Springer Mountain 10 days earlier had taken its toll. I listened and I rested.
Here’s some of what I’ve seen along the way.
My biggest surprise is the number of old folks out here. There’s a 71-year-old man, a married couple in their 60s and two other guys about that age. All taking their time and enjoying an adventure the doubters in their lives had quietly mocked.
The same is quite true for all of the plus-sized men and women struggling up and down the trails with plus-sized pack. It’s easy for the younger and fitter to scorn and mock them, tossing shame their way and eye-rolling their chance of getting to Maine. But hey, jerks, they’ve hike 70 miles. 70!!
They might not make it to Maine. Neither will many of the others of us. But we’re out here. Trying.
The lesson for you guys back home isn’t to go hike the Appalachian Trail. It’s to take the stairs … and take the stairs again. Park at the back of the lot, not near the door. Repeat. Walk two blocks instead of one; four instead of two.
But for the AT, here’s the deal. It’s not a race. It’s a long series of eight mile camping trips, not, OMG 14 states and 2,192 miles. Focus on today and tomorrow will take care of itself.
Tomorrow, I’ll leave Georgia behind. Next milestones are Franklin, N.C. at 109 miles; then I’ll get to the Great Smoky Mountains and then on and on and on …
My last long trek was eight years ago and I spent weekends in the New Jersey woods for five years. This is the longest hike I’ve taken since 2012, when I hiked across New Jersey, a beautiful 75 miles, with an old guy from Tennessee named Birdman.
Those memories flashed back the other day when I reached a road crossing at Hogpen Gap on a cold and misty day, planning to find a flat spot as soon as I could and get into a dry tent. But, lo, there at a turnout was a car with the tailgate up and a woman offering Trail Magic!!
Her trail name was Shenanigans. She thru-hiked in 2012 and, while we didn’t meet then in Jersey, she had hiked with Birdman. We laughed at the memories and each slipped into a Southern drawl that sounded a bit like Birdman. Two cups of hot cocoa, I was on my way.
I did eight miles instead of 10, camping near the gap, but the next day would be my longest yet. I hiked a long, tough 12 miles, getting to Blue Mountain Shelter. The next section through Unicoi Gap (I learned later) was considered to be the hardest section of Georgia.
I could see why. Over three miles, I hiked down to and out of the gap, losing and then gaining a thousand feet of elevation. Whew. Then, another drop and a thousand foot gain. I struggled and struggled through the rain, wondering if I would ever reach Tray Mountain and the shelter there.
Finally, near the top, the mist faded and the clouds cleared and suddenly the world opened up to a spectacular view of the North Georgia Mountains and of Tennessee and beyond. A stunning reminder of why I do this.
The first week of this hike was marked by weather delays and temperatures dropping into the teens and barely reaching 40 during the day. The next section — from Neel Gap to “civilization” at Dick’s Creek Gap — was 40 miles. I did it in five days — an eight mile per day pace that’s been my goal. It takes up to 300 miles to get “trail legs” and start doing long days and miles.
“Patience, grasshopper, and trust in the Lord, thy God.”
As I remember Birdman and the 2012 cross-Jersey hike, one memory flashes back. After I reached the New York border, I was hiking down a side trail with a trail volunteer I had met. Basking in my awesomeness at having hiked across the state, I stumbled and tumbled, doing a face plant and banging my head. Hey grasshopper — “Pride goeth before the fall!”
I head to North Carolina later today a wiser man. And I hope a wiser man. It’s been good so far. Perhaps better than I might have dreamed. But it’s not time to celebrate. Not yet.
Happy Trails.
GOOD NEWSThank you, Debi Chard
Staff reports | People across Charleston are wishing longtime news anchor Debi Chard a happy retirement following her last broadcast on WCSC Live 5 News on March 15. Chard, who retired after 43 years with the local television station.
Chard
“We have family events, upcoming graduations and obligations to the rest of my family, especially my husband,” Chard said in a news release. “It’s important for me to have some family time and spend it with them. I love Live 5. They’re my family, but I also have to set priorities, so it’s time,
“I want to thank the viewers for welcoming me into their homes. But more importantly, I appreciate their trust.”
Chard’s reporting took her around the globe, with foreign assignments in Egypt, the former Yugoslavia, the Philippines, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Costa Rica. Her passion for journalism and meteorology was demonstrated through coverage of natural disasters in the Lowcountry and across the United States, including Hurricane Gilbert (Jamaica), Andrew, Katrina, and floods in Iowa. She was an integral part of the Live 5 team honored with a Peabody Award for Hurricane Hugo coverage in 1989. In May 2016, the WCSC newsroom was renamed the Debi Chard Newsroom in her honor and appreciation for 40 years of dedicated service.
For 20 years, Chard was the driving force behind Debi’s Kids, a holiday drive that raised hundreds of thousands in dollars and donations for local children and families in need.
“Debi displays class, professionalism and passion every day she arrives to work at WCSC”, said Dan Cates, WCSC’s vice president and general manager. “It’s an honor to be her co-worker. She puts just as much work into storytelling and investigative reporting as she does on the anchor desk. Debi’s decision came a little earlier than we expected, but to announce her retirement without fanfare or bringing attention to herself is ‘so Debi’. We are so proud and happy for her as she begins to enjoy retirement with her family.”
Also in Good News:
Return of the Night Market. Every Friday and Saturday from 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. for the rest of the year, you can shop with 108 vendors, including artists and craftsmen, at the night market on Market Street between East Bay and Church streets. It’s more than four blocks of local shopping and fun. Free.
Best programs. Several programs at the Medical University of South Carolina are included in U.S. News & World Report’s 2020 rankings of the Best Graduate Schools. MUSC’s ranked programs include Doctor of Nursing Practice, Physician Assistant, Medical School-Research and Medical School-Primary Care. Lisa Saladin, executive vice president for academic affairs and provost, said, “MUSC is honored to be recognized for its commitment to providing world-class academic education through innovative curriculum and quality clinical training via award-winning faculty dedicated to excellence.”
Congrats all around. Hats off to the Florence Crittenton Programs of South Carolina, which raised more than $200,000 for its programs through its Wine Women and Shoes event in February at Hotel Bennett. View photos online. The organization provides education, counseling services, medical care, social support, and a safe haven for at-risk, pregnant and parenting young women in need.
More health insurance. About 20,000 more children in South Carolina will be able to qualify for a government insurance program should a proposal in the House’s budget go forward. Last Wednesday, representatives voted 100-2 to pass the state’s $9.3 billion spending plan for state tax revenues for 2019-2020. More.

MYSTERYLovely spring streetscape
Here’s a photo of a Charleston street, but what street is it? Send your guess to feedback@statehousereport.com. And don’t forget to include your name and the town in which you live.
Our previous Mystery Photo
Our March 11 mystery, “What a grand Lowcountry home,” showed the Reconstruction residence on Prince Street in Beaufort commonly known as the Robert Smalls house. Smalls, born a slave in 1839, rose to prominence in the Civil War by piloting The Planter from Charleston harbor and turning it over to federal forces. Later, he became a U.S. congressman and portmaster for the Port of Port Royal.
Congratulations to readers who correctly identified the photo sent in by Bud Ferillo of Columbia: George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Marnie Huger of Richmond, Va.; and Amelia Clark of James Island.
Huger added: “Robert Smalls is believed to have been born on the property in 1839. His mother, Lydia Polite, was a slave in the home owned by John McKee. Smalls was later sent to work in Charleston and famously captained a commandeered Confederate ship through Charleston Harbor and into Union hands, freeing the black crew members and his family. After serving the Union during the Civil War, Smalls returned to Beaufort, bought McKee’s former house in a tax sale and was elected to Congress.”
Graf noted, “His bravery was made a key argument in favor of the Union Army’s enlistment of African-American soldiers.”
Cromer noted the photo showed “the Henry McKee House (built 1834), or as it is probably better known, the Robert Smalls house on Prince Street in Beaufort. Smalls was born a slave in 1839 in one of the cabins located in the rear of the property. As everyone knows, he rose to prominence with the piloting of The Planter out of Charleston harbor to federal forces. With the prize money he received from the sale of The Planter ,he bought the McKee house at a tax sale in 1863 and the house remained in the Smalls family until 1940.”
Greene added, “He traveled to Washington to meet President Lincoln and advocate for blacks soldiers in the U.S. Army. He was a state representative, U.S. congressman and portmaster for the Port of Port Royal. Beaufort’s favorite son!”

HISTORY: Fossils in South Carolina
S.C. Encyclopedia | Fossils are any evidence of past life. They may be molds and casts, impressions, tracks, or pollen, to name a few. The study of fossils is the science of paleontology, which is subdivided into many different areas of study. Paleobotanists study fossil plants. Invertebrate and vertebrate paleontologists study fossil animals. Many other lines of study exist, such as paleoclimatology, taphonomy, and paleoecology. Within the confines of South Carolina all of these disciplines, and many others related to the study of paleontology, are useful for understanding the fossil record of the state.
The oldest fossils known from South Carolina are from the early Paleozoic era, from a time period termed the Cambrian period, and are about five hundred million years old. Some species called trilobites have been collected from several sites near Batesburg. Trilobites are the oldest extinct group of aquatic arthropods known and are most closely related to modern-day crustaceans and insects.
The Mesozoic era, “the Age of Reptiles,” is present in South Carolina but is limited to only a few sites in the eastern part of the state. Dinosaur remains have been collected from several sites in the Kingstree and Florence areas. Several species of carnivorous dinosaurs and herbivorous duck-billed dinosaurs have been identified, based on teeth and toe bones that are, in some cases, distinctive. Other fossils of this age from the state include mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, ammonites, and a large array of other marine species that lived at the same time. Most of the Mesozoic fossils from the state are from the late Cretaceous period, about seventy to sixty-six million years ago.
The Cenozoic era, sometimes called “the Age of Mammals,” encompasses the last sixty-five million years. In terms of fossils, it is the most completely represented period in South Carolina prehistory. Fossils have been collected from all of the major time periods of the era, but some time periods are better understood than others are.
The latest time period, the Pleistocene epoch, “the Ice Ages,” is the youngest and best studied and understood. This was the time of mammoths, mastodons, giant ground sloths, and bison with horns seven feet from tip to tip, in addition to the many species still alive today, including modern snakes and turtles. Many of South Carolina’s clay, sand, and limestone layers, termed “strata,” are of marine origin, so many of the fossils from the state represent marine organisms.
Some of the earliest North American whales are known from the middle and late Eocene epoch of South Carolina. Archaic mysticete whales, precursors of modern-day baleen whales, are found in the state, along with early toothed whales, or odontocetes. Much of the evolutionary history of whales will be written based on research conducted on fossils collected and studied in South Carolina. Presently more than four hundred species of fossil vertebrates are known from South Carolina, and the list will continue to grow as new site discoveries and study of more fossil materials are undertaken.
