n the race for economic success, the August unemployment statistics had South Carolina tied with the District of Columbia for fourth place – from the bottom. In spite of Boeing, in spite of Amazon, more than one out of every ten South Carolinians who wants a job can’t find one.

As virtually everyone knows who picks up a newspaper, turns on the television or fires up the Internet, America is consumed by the debate over how to restart the economy.

7E THINK WE KNOW WHAT THIS NEW ECONOMY WILL LOOK LIKE n EXCEPT THAT it will not look at all like the risky old one. And we know how to get there, except that none of the measures available – stimulus, tax cuts or low interest rates – has worked so far. And we are certain things will be fine shortly. )F YOUR BROTHER IN LAW SUBSCRIBED TO THESE VIEWS YOU MIGHT RECOMMEND COUNSELING OR A DRUG TEST 7HEN A NATION DOES IT S CALLED AN ELECTION CYCLE So, in a wild departure from orthodoxy, let’s imagine building an economy not on flipping houses with five percent down, but on something tangible, something people can absolutely not do without. Like food, for example.

For the past ten thousand years, food has been a good basis for an economy. But in South Carolina, food doesn’t pull its own economic weight. ,ESS THAN TEN PERCENT OF WHAT WE EAT HERE IS GROWN IN THE STATE -ORE THAN percent comes from other states or from other countries. That is, nine out of every ten bites we take send money out of state.

This is strange when you consider that South Carolina has one of the STRONGEST AGRICULTURAL LEGACIES OF ANY STATE IN THE COUNTRY 7E HAVE A LONG GROWING SEASON GOOD SOIL AND GOOD FARMERS 7E ALSO HAVE MILLIONS OF ACRES of rural land throughout the state, a good bit protected by conservation easements.

Rural Revival

If we could grow more food in South Carolina’s rural counties and produce more specialty products statewide for our hungry metropolitan markets, we could create jobs of all sorts.

Anne S. Malarich

Like the rest of the country, South Carolina has experienced an explosion of interest in local food, but there is not enough available for consumers, restaurants and schools.

So, on one side there is a huge demand made up of diverse buyers. On the other side, there are suppliers with the skill and resources to produce. It’s getting clearer what a new economy might look like.

One more point about the statistics. Things are actually worse than they seem. In South Carolina, our 11.1 percent statewide unemployment figure hides far more discouraging numbers in rural counties. In Marion County, for example, PERCENT OF JOB SEEKERS ONE IN FIVE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO find work. If South Carolina’s economy is suffering generally, our rural economy is on life support.

This, of course, brings us back to food. Food is grown on land, and rural South Carolina, if it has little else going on economically, has land in abundance. Imagine doubling the PERCENTAGE OF FOOD WE EAT n FROM TO PERCENT n COMING from South Carolina farms. Then imagine if we could add VALUE THROUGH SPECIALTY PROCESSING AND BRAND IT h3OUTH #AROLINA 'ROWN v 4HERE ARE ABOUT PEOPLE LOOKING FOR JOBS IN 3OUTH #AROLINA 7ITH COUNTIES THAT S AN AVERAGE OF

people per county – just a few more people than the new North Charleston Boeing plant will be employing once they are fully up and running.

If we could grow more food in South Carolina’s rural counties and produce more specialty products statewide for our hungry metropolitan markets, we could create jobs of all sorts. It’s not hard to imagine a few thousand in each county, especially in rural South Carolina – a Boeing, if not for every county, maybe for every two or three counties.

This is where GrowFood Carolina comes in. As you will read in this issue, GrowFood will serve a critical role in connecting small farmers in the Lowcountry with consumers – providing crop planning, marketing and distribution necessary to get the most value from local produce. It will sell wholesale to grocery stores, restaurants and institutions.

Unlike the Council of Economic Advisors, we don’t PRETEND TO KNOW EXACTLY HOW THINGS WILL PLAY OUT 7E RE NOT expecting to create another Facebook, or another Lehman Brothers. Our goal is to provide the best support possible to ensure that South Carolina’s farmers will be able to meet a growing demand for locally grown, healthy food, and to contribute to an economic recovery that is broad, real and enduring.

n a sweltering hot August day in Charleston, some 50 or so people gathered at 990 Morrison Drive to see an old warehouse coming to life. Farmers, food

retailers, restauranteurs, neighbors, community groups and state agriculture officials toured the 10,000-square-foot facility, as workmen with Taylor Construction prepared to install a giant refrigerated cooler – its 800-square-foot outline marked off in blue chalk on the concrete floor.

“As I talk to farmers across the country, regardless of what they produce or where, they all share one common challenge: how to best move product from the farm to the marketplace. This is especially crucial for small and midsize farmers who may not have enough capital to own their

The warehouse – a project of the Conservation League’s nonprofit GrowFood Carolina program – will be all about aggregating local produce for wholesale distribution, connecting local farmers to area retailers, a missing link in the growing local food movement. It is the first “local food Kate Parks

hub” to be established in South Carolina.

But Sara Clow, general manager of GrowFood, cautioned the enthusiastic crowd. “We are starting small, with just a few growers and a few customers,” she said, “and we will build from there as word gets out.”

GrowFood Carolina

WHY a Local Food Hub? Currently, the majority of food travels long distances through a centralized network of a few large-scale producers, a few large-scale processors, and a few large-scale distributors. This has contributed to a precipitous decrease in small and mid-sized farms, hurting rural economies and minimizing the availability and diversity of local products for the local consumer. Transitioning from a predominately global food supply to a more regional network of small and mediumsize farms in the U.S. requires new infrastructure and new models.

WHAT

is a Local Food Hub?

There are many different models of food hubs, depending upon location and need. The current working definition by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is: A centrally located facility with a business management structure facilitating the aggregation, storage, processing, distribution, and/or marketing of locally/regionally produced food products.

“South Carolina was one of 39 states with an increase in farm numbers between 2002 and 2007, rising at least 5%.”

“Today, less than 10% of what we eat in South Carolina is grown in state. The rest is imported, some from virtually the other side of the world.

Cruise Ship Standards

State Legislators Weigh In

L

ast month, Charleston City Council missed a golden opportunity to resolve the dispute over cruise ship standards. Instead of adopting an imminently reasonable and legally defensible plan as proposed by the Historic Charleston Foundation, council members approved, by an 8-3 vote, an “inconsequentialâ€? and “inadequateâ€? ÂœĂ€`ˆ˜>˜ViĂŠÂŤĂ€ÂœÂŤÂœĂƒi`ĂŠLÞÊ >ĂžÂœĂ€ĂŠ ÂœiĂŠ,ˆÂ?iĂž]ĂŠÂşĂœÂ…ÂˆVÂ…ĂŠÂˆĂƒĂŠ most notable for what it would not do.â€? (quotations from two Post and Courier lead editorials).

By contrast, the proposed Historic Charleston Foundation ordinance would have legally limited the number of cruise ships to the maximum number that the SPA says it wants – no more than 104 per year, only one at a time, and only up to 3,500 passengers apiece. Its passage would have resulted in the removal of Charleston from the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s “Watch List,� and likely would have resulted in the termination of the lawsuit against Carnival Cruise Lines.

In the absence of meaningful leadership from the city’s elected officials, we may have to look to our state representatives for guidance. Here’s what a few have said on the matter:

Sen. Robert Ford (D-Charleston): h MY CONSTITUENTS ;IN THE #OLUMBUS 3TREET AREA= DO not want the cruise terminal anywhere close to their homes and especially near their beautiful, new, neighborhood school ;3ANDERS #LYDE %LEMENTARY -IDDLE 3CHOOL= v h/UR JOB NOW IS TO COME TOGETHER AS CITIZENS OF #HARLESTON and South Carolina to resolve this crisis to the mutual benefit OF ALL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE v Rep.

nterstate 73 was first proposed in the 1970s by Senator Robert Byrd and other West Virginia powerbrokers as a means to channel economic development into their struggling region, via a multi-billiondollar interstate highway stretching from northern Michigan to the coast of South Carolina. Remarkably, the I-73 boondoggle is still alive and kicking and threatens to usurp some $2.4 billion of transportation monies in South Carolina alone, while wreaking havoc in the small towns and farming communities of the Pee Dee. The South Carolina stretch is divided into two projects: the “northern segment,” which runs from Rockingham, N.C. across the border to I-95 in South Carolina; and the “southern segment,” which extends from I-95 near Latta to S.C. Highway 22, known as the Conway Bypass just outside of Myrtle Beach. While the states of Michigan, Ohio and North Carolina are mostly upgrading existing roads, South Carolina politicians and highway commissioners are insisting on a brand new interstate, one that is not ranked as a priority in the state’s transportation plan.

South Carolina’s budget woes alone

beg the question of why we are not following the model of these wealthier states to the north; but the fact that a much cheaper, more effective alternative exists simply defies reason.

Namely, a four-lane route already runs between I-95 and Myrtle Beach: S.C. Hwy. 38/U.S. Hwy. 501. For a cost of approximately $150 million, this existing road corridor could be upgraded to an expressway, connecting tourists from I-95 to the Conway Bypass (S.C. 22) – versus the $1.2 billion required for the I-73’s southern segment alone.

Inexplicably, DOT commissioners are plunging ahead and voted (without advance public notice) to approve borrowing $105 million – in “good faith” – to build an interchange for I-73, without the faintest idea of when or from where the funds will come to build the rest of the road. While the problems with the proposed interstate have been crystal clear for years (the Conservation League has opposed I-73 for more than a decade), South Carolina’s political leaders – with a few notable exceptions – have blindly pledged their allegiance to this wasteful project. Alaska has nothing on South Carolina’s “interchange to nowhere.”

A Worthy "Agenda" DOT Commission Chairman Danny Isaac has accused Commissioner Sarah Nuckles of having “an underlying agenda,� in response to her efforts to make DOT more transparent and accountable in its deliberations. In the Q & A below, Commissioner Nuckles explains her “agenda.�

Q: Tell us a little about your background.

A: ) M A GENUINE h' 2 ) 4 3v GIRL – girls raised in the South and bring on the shrimp and grits! My father had businesses in several states – so I was born in Greensboro, N.C., then grew up in Columbus, Ga., and married AND MOVED TO SOUTHEAST &LORIDA FOR YEARS -Y 3COTS )RISH GRANDPARENTS and extended family are all from the 'REENVILLE 0ELZER AREA AND ) RETURNED hHOMEv FIFTEEN YEARS AGO 7HILE IN Florida, I served on the Palm Beach #OUNTY -0/ TRANSPORTATION PLANNING organization) and now serve on the RFATS MPO in Rock Hill, as well as the Metropolitan Transit Commission – the policy committee that oversees the CATS system in Charlotte.

Q: DOT has been in the news recently regarding budget shortfalls and closed door dealings. What has gone wrong?

A: South Carolina has the fourth largest highway system in the nation, yet instead of adequately maintaining and preserving what we have, the DOT Commission is diverting monies away from road resurfacing and bridge repair in favor of building or widening new roads that are not critical needs, or are not ranking priorities, and for which we have no funding. &URTHERMORE THE WAY THAT THE DOT reform legislation was written WHICH LEFT SOME LOOPHOLES COUPLED WITH THE 3TATE )NFRASTRUCTURE "ANK WHICH does not require ranking prioritization),

means that priority rankings can be manipulated, or not used at all, for transportation projects that may have little to do with need and merit, and everything to do with politics and the biggest match. As to the recent DOT cash flow problems, that is the result of a lack of internal controls and procedures, and nothing else.

Q: Chairman Isaac (who resides in Myrtle Beach and represents the 1st District), along with a few Horry County and Pee Dee politicians, have compared I-73 to I-85 in the Upstate.

A: There is no comparison between ) AND ) ) LINKS THE ECONOMIC centers of Montgomery, Atlanta, 'REENVILLE 3PARTANBURG AND #HARLOTTE – major metropolitan areas in one of the Southeast’s most important manufacturing and industrial corridors.

Q: They also have implied that you favor your own 5th District over the needs of the 1st District. How do you respond?

A: 7HEN CANDIDATES GO THROUGH the vetting process to become a Commissioner, we are asked, under oath, to put the interests of the state ahead OF OUR DISTRICT ) ANSWERED h9ES v TO THIS OATH AND IN FACT HAVE VOTED h.Ov several times for things that might have benefitted my district, but felt that the hGREATER GOODv WAS MORE IMPORTANT ) am committed to the welfare and safety of all South Carolinians.

C OA S TA L C O N S E RVAT I O N L E AG U E

Q. Can you describe for us your philosophy and “agenda� as a DOT Commissioner?

A: I take a conservative approach.

Most importantly, South Carolina’s transportation needs must be met in a fair and equitable manner for everyone, based on a quantifiable and objective basis that applies to the state as a whole and as the law requires. As a Commission, we must operate with full transparency and accountability, to the public whom we serve and whose money we spend.

I like the method of prioritization ARTICULATED IN !CT THE REFORM legislation) and believe the rankings and formulas should be followed, and then periodically reviewed, as a policy basis, to make sure they are still relevant and applicable. I believe we need to commit a certain percentage of our funding to existing transportation system preservation, and a certain portion to growth needs.

And I believe the General Assembly should take the leadership in evaluating how our current revenue streams and sources can be enhanced and prioritized and make sure those revenue streams are allocated in such a manner that THE #OMMISSION CANNOT hDIP INTO THE PRESERVATION COOKIE JAR v AS HAS HAPPENED in the past two years. In these difficult economic times, we have to make hard choices that are critical to the safety and welfare of South Carolinians and be deliberate and honest about how much we can actually do, how far we can spread the nickel.

I grew up jumping over waves in the surf on the Isle of Palms, counting dolphins and pelicans from the bridge at Shem Creek, marveling at the gardens of Magnolia Plantation and, of course, eating a lot of fried shrimp and Johns Island tomato sandwiches.

These simple, but extraordinary experiences are an integral part of why my husband and I have chosen to RAISE OUR FAMILY HERE IN #HARLESTON 7E LOVE TO SHARE THE Lowcountry with our children and we are passionately attached to the idea that they will be able to share it WITH THEIRS 7E TRUST THAT BY SUPPORTING THE WORK OF THE Coastal Conservation League that we will leave a gift to our children that is immeasurable.

Hand in hand with our desire to pass down our love of the South Carolina coast, and our appreciation of the environment in general, is our belief that we should also teach our children the value of civic engagement and Paige Schaberg

GIVING BACK 7E WANT THEM TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE CAN all make a difference, and that therefore we should.

In recent years, planned gifts have been recognized widely as a powerful tool for those of us who want to support nonprofit organizations, but also need to be concerned about current financial obligations. And yet, many young families are still reluctant to make a bequest, as they feel they need to leave these assets to their children.

The traditional answer to this reservation is that, depending on the current tax laws, leaving a gift to charity in your will may reduce the estate tax burden on YOUR HEIRS SIGNIFICANTLY 7HILE THIS MAY BE TRUE AND AN attorney or tax planner can give you more information on the options available to you), I also believe that making a planned gift creates a family legacy that ensures a rich and enduring future for our children, and represents our values in a tangible way. )F ONLY PERCENT OF !MERICANS LEFT A CHARITABLE bequest, the current number of charitable bequests would more than double. Imagine what the impact to the Coastal Conservation League would be if those of us who give during our lifetimes, also made a charitable gift through our estate plans.

Please consider including the Coastal Conservation League in your estate planning by joining the Coastal Legacy Society. Members receive all the benefits associated with a Live Oak Society membership. And, most importantly, their gifts ensure that the vital work of the League will continue well beyond their lifetime, safeguarding a healthy and sustainable Lowcountry environment for generations to come.

Hope

for the May River

How to Save a River?

W

ith the science to back them up, Bluffton Town Council and its Planning Commission members ARE ON THE ROAD TO INCORPORATING A 4$2 4RANSFER OF Development Rights) program, along with various engineering and monitoring strategies, to rescue the May River from further degradation. Alarmed by the closure of several miles of the river’s prized oyster beds last year, town officials set to work on a May River Action Plan to save the May, a river that has been synonymous with life in Bluffton for centuries.

The Action Plan’s technical and implementation committees took note of a much anticipated case study completed last August by Dr. Fred Holland, retired director of the NOAA Hollings Marine Laboratory and an authority on tidal creek estuarine systems. Dr. Holland was able to scientifically demonstrate that if development is shifted away from the more highly sensitive areas of the May River watershed to less vulnerable locations, the community could significantly diminish stormwater runoff volume and fecal coliform loadings – major culprits in the river’s steady demise.

Understanding a Coastal Riverine Estuary AYS $R (OLLAND h! COASTAL RIVERINE ESTUARY LIKE THE May River is typically a small watershed with not a lot of freshwater. So its headwaters don’t have a lot of flushing

Fortunately, however, the economic slowdown has given Bluffton a terrific window of opportunity to shift future development away from the sensitive headwaters. h.AMELY THE RECESSION HAS ALLOWED FOR LONG TERM

proactive planning that can build in more preventative strategies to combat stormwater pollution, such as better placement and aggregation of development through TDR programs and the like. These planning tools provide a good compliment to traditional engineering solutions and can be MORE ECONOMICAL AND SUSTAINABLE IN THE LONG TERM v

Transfer of Development Rights (TDR) N THE #OASTAL #ONSERVATION ,EAGUE UNVEILED A DETAILED plan to help improve the health of the May River, centered on siting and concentrating development away from the RIVER S HEADWATERS (OWEVER THE RESULTING "LUFFTON 7ATERSHED Management Plan, while based on sound evidence and models, lacked scientific ground truthing. So the Conservation League enlisted Dr. Holland to develop a case study to investigate the effect on water quality when development is shifted or transferred.

Specifically, Dr. Holland’s case study focused on the May River’s Stoney Creek AND 2OSE $HU #REEK SUB WATERSHEDS to assess the environmental benefit of transferring development rights between THE TWO AREAS FOR SOME OF THE

permitted but unconstructed units planned for the May River watershed.

The study analyzes a scenario where

APPROVED HOUSING UNITS ARE TRANSFERRED OUT OF THE 3TONEY #REEK SUB watershed and into the Rose Dhu Creek SUB WATERSHED WITH NO NET LOSS OF UNITS 7HILE 3TONEY #REEK LOSES

Streets are narrowed, lot sizes are reduced, and second and third stories are added to commercial and retail buildings for housing. In addition, a small amount of forest habitat is preserved and placed under conservation easement.

Forests: a Natural Filter S A RESULT THE ACRES OF reforested land in the Stoney #REEK SUB WATERSHED AND ACRES OF

REFORESTED LAND IN THE 2OSE $HU SUB watershed combine to reduce stormwater volume and fecal coliform loadings into THE HEADWATERS OF THE -AY 2IVER BY AND RESPECTIVELY &URTHERMORE

the case study goes on to extrapolate the benefits to the May River if additional development rights transfers were to OCCUR WITHIN THESE TWO SUB WATERSHEDS 7HILE CONVENTIONAL ENGINEERING IN the form of stormwater retention ponds, rain gardens, monitoring and the like, can help mitigate stormwater pollution to a degree, according to Dr. Holland, h! MORE EFFECTIVE QUICKER AND PROBABLY cheaper way to reduce pollutants in the river is to reduce new construction in the most vulnerable areas of the watershed.

The research shows, for example, that a ONE ACRE NATUALLY VEGETATED LOT PRODUCES TIMES LESS RUNOFF THAN A ONE ACRE

PAVED PARKING LOT v So, the science is in and we know WHAT WE NEED TO DO 7ITH ENOUGH political will, Bluffton can rescue its beloved May River and become a model for similar communities all along the South Carolina coast.
