PHOTO FOCUS

Lights of Magnolia” explodes with color, thrills, sounds

All light show photos by Rob Byko.

By Rob Byko, contributing photographer  | Approaching Magnolia Plantation at night through the gates along a winding drive, you can tell you’re in for a treat. Over the treetops and through the underbrush, you see your first glimpse of the brilliant lights in colors too numerous to mention. 

Entering the festival grounds, the evening explodes in color and sound. The lights’ reflections wash over joyful faces of patrons walking the garden paths. The light dances along ponds and through the eyes of children who seem lost in the fantasy.

An easy walking trail guides you first along a fairy tale of characters, followed by flowers and fauna taller than your head.  Then you meet huge butterflies and ladybugs, pandas and peacocks. Turn a corner and you find a kaleidoscope from the animal kingdom featuring playful lions, stoic zebras and tigers so vivid they seem real. 

Finally, the tour returns to fantasy, placing you face-to-face with a 200-foot-long dragon whose majestic head soars more than 45 feet in the air. The entire dragon’s body is made of “scale,s” but looking more closely you see more than 26,000 porcelain china plates held together only by thread and your imagination.

COMMENTARY

BRACK: Free press needed now more than ever

By Andy Brack, editor and publisher  |  The other day after a church meeting, someone commented, “We need a free press now, more than ever.”

Let that sink in.

Why would someone say that?  Is it because he doesn’t like the bombast of President Trump or she doesn’t like the preening of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi?  Is it because they’re worried about the legitimacy of what they read on Facebook, Twitter or the Internet?

More than likely, it’s any or all of those things — but also something bigger:  Trust. Americans, divided into warring factions of what they believe, increasingly have problems with trusting information that they receive from institutions in government as well as those that say what’s going on in government.

We are living in a period of history where we have more information than ever, but it’s blurred by unrelenting negative talk, “fake news,” lies, misrepresentations, soundbites and incomplete information.  We are so overloaded by information that we find it hard to sift through and process everything before the next assault hits.

So how can you manage too much information?  Perhaps you can curb and diversify your media diet. Find multiple sources of information — not just newsjunk put out by the tribe that spouts what you want to hear.  If you’re a Democrat, you might need to focus less on The New York Times and more on The Wall Street Journal.  If you lean Republican, tune in occasionally to CBS or PBS instead of Fox.  

Despite what some people believe, reporters do not exist to make up news.  Reporters are objective and report what they see, hear and uncover.  

“Our democracy depends upon citizens having information about the activities of our government, and a press free from governmental control is essential to the functioning of our society,” says Jay Bender, longtime legal counsel for the S.C. Press Association.

The reason there is a constitutional protection for freedom of the press is because the British crown censored information during colonial times, Bender said.  Patriots during the American Revolution fought to be free of the shackles of royal rule, including its curbs on information.

Then, as now, more information is better than less.  Attacking verifiable facts is counterproductive and anti-democratic.

“The instinct of those in government today to attack the press and restrict the flow of information to the public is inconsistent with a government by the people and for the people,” Bender said.  “A vigorous, free press is a wall between us and an autocracy, and must be defended for our democracy to survive.”

Richard Whiting, executive editor of the Greenwood Index-Journal, suggests the misplaced chants of “fake news” or the press being an “enemy of the people” are trickling into our towns and counties.

“It’s not just mainstream media that is under attack,” he said.  “It’s the hometown newspaper that shares with its readers little Johnny’s victory on the football field, Suzie’s volleyball win. It’s the hometown paper that shares the story of a family’s struggles as their child battles a life-threatening disease, or the family burned out by a house fire. It’s the hometown paper that attends the school board, town council and county council meetings while Mom and Dad busy themselves with their lives, their children’s lives.”

And the irony, he says, is that those very same people will shout and raise Cain — “How did this happen? Why didn’t someone tell us?” — when a local, duly-elected governmental body votes to raise taxes or change zoning.  Had they been paying attention — by reading their local newspaper — they might have acted upon solid information to create change, instead of grumbling and picking up the pieces later.

“A free press is essential to our democracy,” Whiting said.  “It serves the public by being the watchdog of government so people can go about their daily lives. But more than that, we are the community’s mirror, reflecting the good, the bad and the ugly as we provide essential news and information right along with the stuff that crowds refrigerators and gets tucked away in scrapbooks.”

The free press is not your enemy.  Her reporters keep America honest a lot more than her politicians do. Ask questions. Consume diverse information sources.  Challenge your media comfort zone. To do less is to get sucked into what anti-democratic forces desire.

ACLU hires new state director. The American Civil Liberties Union of South Carolina, which is based in Charleston, has hired Frank Knaack as its next executive director. He will come on board in January. He most recently led the Montana Innocence Project and prior to that he led the Alabama Appleseed Center. He also has held positions at the National ACLU and at ACLU affiliates in Virginia and Texas. 

Lawmakers frustrated with state utility regulators.  House and Senate members on both sides of the aisle are finding common ground in expressing frustration with the state’s utility regulators. The S.C. Public Service Commission has drawn renewed scrutiny after a November staff directive that would create the cheapest solar rates in the nation, which solar industry advocates say would effectively ending new solar investment in the state. The directive isn’t final yet.  Some lawmakers see the proposal, which would slash utilities’ reimbursement for solar field generation and keeping contracts to 10 years, as an affront to the unanimously-passed Energy Freedom Act in May.  Read more in the latest issue of our sister publication, Statehouse Report.

On protecting residents from lung cancer.  New research from the American Lung Association says states like South Carolina need to do more to protect residents from lung cancer and aid in cancer-patient recovery. South Carolina ranks 36th in the nation for incidence of lung cancer, making its incidence of lung cancer above the national average. The state ranks 32nd for survival rates, mean those diagnosed with lung cancer in S.C. are less likely to survive than the national average. The nonprofit says state lawmakers need to support early lung screenings and protect health care access for those with pre-existing conditions. Read more

Our previous Mystery Photo

Our Nov. 25 mystery, “Interesting brick building,” has been known as the Waring Historical Library since 1969.  Located on Ashley Avenue on the campus of the Medical University of South Carolina, the building originally was the Hoffman Library, erected in 1894 as a gift to Porter MIlitary Academy by the Rev. Charles Frederick Hoffman, rector of All Angels Episcopal Church in New York.  In 1964, Porter merged with the Gaud School for Boys and the Watt School to become Porter-Gaud.

Congratulations to several alert readers who knew what the building was, including Charlestonian Legare Clement who figured it out when walking by the library last week.  Hats off also to:  James McMahon and Steven Stuckey, both of Charleston; Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; and George Graf of Palmyra, Va.

Peel also shared more history about the octagonal building:  “According to the library’s web site, its mission is ‘to collect, preserve, and promote the history of the health sciences in South Carolina” and was “named for Joseph I. Waring, Jr., a local pediatrician and medical historian and the first director of the Historical Library.’. Apparently, the library houses some pretty fascinating (and gross!) artifacts, including amputation saws, a box of artificial eyes, bone scrapers, and other horrifying sounding surgical tools like an ‘Artificial Urethral Sphincter’ and a ‘Bermingham Nasal Douche.’ The library also includes the Macaulay Museum of Dental History, which features a collection of dental memorabilia, dental chairs and a traveling dentist’s chest of the Civil War era.

“The site of the building in the photo was originally the Charleston Arsenal, a U.S. Army facility that was seized by South Carolina State Militia at the outbreak of the American Civil War. According to Wikipedia, the Arsenal ‘was constructed in 1841 and served as a storage place for weapons, ordnance, and ammunition for the U.S. Army in antebellum days. The Charleston Arsenal produced a considerable amount of artillery and small arms ammunition during the Mexican–American War and up to the Civil War. During the Civil War, Confederate troops from South Carolina seized the arsenal in late December 1860, and held it for much of the war until it was finally retaken by Union troops when Charleston fell in 1865.’”

S.C. ENCYCLOPEDIA

Charles Cotesworth Pinckney

Portrait of Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, ca. 1773, by Henry Benbridge.  It is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery.

S.C. Encyclopedia  |  Patriot Charles Cotesworth Pinckney was born in Charleston on February 14, 1746, to Charles Pinckney, a lawyer and member of the provincial council, and Elizabeth Lucas, who helped introduce indigo cultivation in South Carolina. In 1753 Pinckney accompanied his family to London, where his father served as the colony’s agent until 1758. Young Pinckney received private tutoring before entering the prestigious Westminster School in 1761. Three years later he matriculated at both Christ Church College, Oxford, and at the Middle Temple, the London legal training ground. While at Oxford he attended lectures by the famed legal scholar Sir William Blackstone and listened to debates in the House of Commons pertaining to the American colonies. Pinckney was admitted to the English Bar in January 1769. Following a tour of Europe, he returned to South Carolina, where he began a successful legal practice.

Pinckney entered public service in 1769 with election to the Commons House of Assembly, where he represented St. John’s Colleton Parish during the remainder of royal rule. Pinckney also served in the local militia, eventually attaining the rank of colonel. In 1773 he was made attorney general for the judicial districts of Camden, Cheraws, and Georgetown. That same year, on September 28, he married Sarah Middleton, daughter of the wealthy and well-connected Henry Middleton. The marriage produced four children. 

Through this marriage Pinckney became closely affiliated with some of the province’s leading radicals in America’s contest with Great Britain, such as Arthur Middleton, Edward Rutledge, and William Henry Drayton. By early 1775 Pinckney was a member of all the important revolutionary committees, from which he advocated aggressive measures, including stealing royal arms from the Statehouse, penning inflammatory epistles to backcountry inhabitants, and planning the defense of Charleston against a possible British attack. At the same time, Pinckney served in the extralegal Provincial Congress, where he assisted in creating and training a rebel army and chaired the committee responsible for drafting a temporary frame of government for the province.

Once hostilities erupted with Britain, Pinckney switched his role as a politician to that of a soldier. Appointed commander of the First Regiment of South Carolina troops, he assisted in the successful defense of Charleston at the Battle of Sullivan’s Island in June 1776. When the British moved north following this defeat, Pinckney followed to serve as an aide-de-camp to General George Washington. He participated in the battles of Brandywine and Germantown before rejoining the southern army to command a regiment in the expedition to East Florida and at the siege of Savannah. 

During the defense of Charleston he commanded Fort Moultrie and made a futile attempt to convince General Benjamin Lincoln, commander of the southern army, to defend the capital at all costs. When Charleston fell, the British placed Pinckney under house arrest and made a hapless attempt to lure him away from the American cause. The British later sent Pinckney to Philadelphia, where he was exchanged in 1782. He rejoined the southern army but saw no further action. Pinckney’s first wife, Sarah Middleton, died in 1784, and he married Mary Stead in 1786.

Following the war, Pinckney devoted his efforts toward rebuilding his law practice and his rice plantations. In 1787 he served as a delegate to the constitutional convention, where he ardently and ably defended the exporting and slaveholding interests of southern planters. A staunch Federalist, Pinckney was important in South Carolina’s ratification of the federal Constitution in 1788. He later helped draft the state’s 1790 constitution. 

Over the next several years Pinckney rejected President Washington’s numerous offers to serve in federal office—as commander of the army, as associate justice of the Supreme Court, as secretary of war, and as secretary of state—explaining that he needed to remain at home to restore his fortune. However, in 1796 Pinckney accepted Washington’s offer to serve as minister to France. The next year President John Adams appointed him as one of three commissioners to negotiate a treaty with the French government. When French diplomats demanded a bribe from their American counterparts to facilitate discussions, Pinckney is credited as having exclaimed, “no! no! Not a sixpense” and urged his government to raise “millions for defence but not one cent for tribute.” In 1798 President Adams, anticipating war with France, appointed Pinckney commander of the southern department of the United States Army. He was discharged from military service in 1800.

Pinckney returned to politics in the election of 1800 as the Federalist Party’s vice-presidential candidate. In 1804 and 1808 he was the Federalist candidate for president, but realizing that he had little chance of winning, he never actively campaigned. Instead, Pinckney devoted the remainder of his life to agricultural experiments (he was a member of the South Carolina Agricultural Society) and civic service. He helped establish South Carolina College in 1801 and served on its first board of trustees. 

He also busied himself as president of numerous organizations, including the South Carolina Jockey Club, the Society for the Relief of Widows and Orphans of South Carolina, the Charleston Bible Society, the Charleston Library Society, the South Carolina Society of the Cincinnati, and the national Society of the Cincinnati. Near the end of his life Pinckney campaigned against dueling in South Carolina. He died in Charleston on August 16, 1825, and was buried in the cemetery of St. Michael’s Church.
