DUNCAN: ‘Destructive to our economy’

best of show FROM PAGE A1

Tuesday inflation grew to 8.5 percent in March — the highest rate since 1981.

“If you think about an 18-wheeler — that’s a 300-gallon (fuel) tank, and if you go from $3 a gallon to $5 a gallon, you went from $900 to fill up to $1,500 to fill up. So, that money is going to be passed on in consumer goods costs, because the truckers aren’t going eat it.

“That’s just part of it,” he added. “Supply chain issues are a big part of it. Coming out of COVID with supply and demand, we have a higher demand for certain things … like computer chips, and then

the production schedule, getting it there.”

He also expressed concern about President Joe Biden’s response to the inflation numbers.

“There’s some things that the Biden administration could do, and I don’t believe they’re rectifying it,” Duncan said. “So we’re going to see the Fed (Federal Reserve) raise rates to kind of slow inflation, and we’re just in a sticky wicket right now because of the Biden administration’s policies.”

Duncan’s office sent a news release on Tuesday calling inflation “Bidenflation.”

thing because of Joe Biden’s reckless spending to fund his radical agenda,” he said in the release. “This inflation rate is unsustainable and is essentially increased taxation on all Americans.

“Wages are not keeping pace with inflation, which puts Americans in a difficult place financially as they struggle to keep food on the table and gas in their cars,” Duncan added. “This is not transitory, Putin’s price hike or the result of corporate greed, as the Biden administration has claimed. Make no mistake — this is Bidenflation. I will continue fighting back against Joe Biden’s radical spending proposals that will only

“There’s some things that the Biden administration could do, and I don’t believe they’re rectifying it,” Duncan said. “So we’re going to see the Fed (Federal Reserve) raise rates to kind of slow inflation, and we’re just in a sticky wicket right now because of the Biden administration’s policies.”

Duncan’s office sent a news release on Tuesday calling inflation “Bidenflation.”

“If you think about an 18-wheeler — that’s a 300-gallon (fuel) tank, and if you go from $3 a gallon to $5 a gallon, you went from $900 to fill up to $1,500 to fill up. So, that money is going to be passed on in consumer goods costs, because the truckers aren’t going eat it.

BONE-IN VEAL PARMESAN

F

rom the countless lights that glitter above its Anson Street entrance to the chandeliers and star-shaped fixtures that hang from the dining room ceiling, Anson is always a sight to behold. And with chef Shaun Connolly running the kitchen, the fine dining establishment continues to turn out dishes that expand the mind and delight the senses all at the same time.

Take, for example, what is quickly becoming one of Anson’s most in-demand items, even though it’s not on the regular dinner menu: the bone-in veal parmesan, which seems miles away from classic seafood dishes and Southern standards, and yet somehow fits right in under a Midwest-born chef who found his way in the Chicago culinary scene before moving to Charleston.

“The name is recognizable, the dish is wine-friendly, and the portion and presentation is impressive,” Connolly said. And indeed, after being coated in house-made breadcrumbs and covered in slow-cooked pomodoro, then topped with buffalo mozzarella and Parmigiana Reggiano cheeses and fresh basil, it’s a

Celebrated for almost three decades...

In its thoughtful approach to local ingredients, Anson Restaurant, has always taken the best of what historic Charleston’s seasons have to offer & crafted them into innovative turns on traditional Southern cuisine.

wonder to behold on the plate. The veal is butterflied, tenderized and seasoned, Connolly added, flash-fried after being breaded, and then baked for five minutes once the sauce and cheese is applied.

Veal parmesan was almost certainly brought to Charleston by the thousands of Italian immigrants who arrived in the Holy City around the turn of the 19th century. Once in America, they found meat to be far more easily accessible and less expensive than it was back home. Eggplant, once the focus of the dish in the old country, was replaced by chicken and veal.

It was only a matter of time before Charleston’s fine dining establishments took that same concept and elevated it, as Anson does today.

At Anson, the bone is left in the veal parmesan to enhance the flavor, moisture and presentation, according to Connolly. And the secret is getting out: the restaurant’s bone-in veal parmesan is “very popular,” Connolly said, to the point where it’s being offered as a special almost daily. All those lights at Anson are now shining down on a culinary classic that’s been transformed into something exciting and new.

“It doesn’t feel like you’re doing business. It feels like you’re just talking to a friend.”

That is how Booze Pops’ Woody Norris feels about partnering with The Post and Courier for his advertising needs.

Throughout the years, The Post and Courier has witnessed Booze Pops explosive growth. Partnering in digital ads, print ads, events, and local promotional initiatives.

Open Division

Third PLACE The Lancaster News Ashley Johnson and Lancaster County Natural Gas Authority

37-year veteran of calling high school football and has worked college football games for 26 years.

High School High school football has one rule change for 2021. The rule concerns blocking below the waist. Blocking below the waist is only allowed in the free blocking zone – a 6 x 8 zone centered on where the ball is snapped, put in play.

Previously, blocking below the waist was permitted in this zone when all players involved in the blocking are on the line of scrimmage and in the zone at the snap, the contact is in the zone and the ball is in the zone. The rule change this year requires that the contact must be immediate and the initial action after the snap. A lineman may not take a step back at the snap and block low. He can take a step forward, or make a lateral step as he lowers his

torso to initiate the block. If contact is not made by the completion of the second step, the block is illegal.

College The main rules changes in college football focus on overtime play.

This year, beginning with the second extra period, teams scoring a touchdown must attempt a two-point try. Previously this started with the third extra period in OT. Also in overtime, beginning with the third extra period, a team’s possession series will be one play for a

The team area and coaching box has been extended to the 20-yard line. Previously, the team area and coaching box was between the two 25-yard lines. It was extended last year between the two 15 yard lines to allow more room due to COVID 19.

For live ball fouls that include loss of down and occur during the last play of a quarter, whether or not to extend the period is now at the option of the offended team. Previously they did not have this option and if the penalty included loss of down, the period was ended.

For example, team A is leading by a point and has the ball on its own 20, fourth down and five with six seconds left in the game. The quarterback takes the snap, drops straight back and throws a pass far downfield way beyond the closest receiver. This is intentional grounding, but time runs out during the down. Previously,

have the ball on team A’s 20, first down and 10.

A review process has been established for questionable game action regarding feigning injuries. Feigning an injury for any reason is unethical.

An injured player must be given full protection under the rules. Feigning an injury is unsportsmanlike and contrary to the spirit of the rules.

For questionable game action, a school or conference has the option to consult the National Coordinator of Football Officials who would then facilitate a video review. After the review, the National Coordinator will communicate any findings with the director of athletics at the institution for further action.

This is the most wonderful time of the year. Here’s hoping your favorite team has a safe and successful year.

Enjoy the season.

Learn to crab sustainably with Tia Clark

C

harleston native Tia Clark, who grew up in downtown Charleston, never planned to start her own crabbing business, but after she discovered a passion for the ocean and crabbing in 2017, her venture took off.

Thanks to a Facebook page created by a friend, Clark started to receive inquiries about teaching people to crab. In July 2018, she put her business on Airbnb experiences. “By November 2018, Airbnb was flying me out to San Francisco because they told me I had one of the top four experiences in their worldwide market,” she said. “It was a whirlwind.”

Now she gets more bookings on her own website, CasualCrabbingWithTia. com. And interest in her business is only growing. In the last nine months, her story has been covered by People and Forbes magazines, in addition to being included in a video by Southwest Airlines.

Clark’s land-based crabbing excursions last about two and a half hours, during which she teaches people multiple ways to crab and how to throw a cast net. Crabbing With Tia books outings for visitors, locals, corporate groups and school students.

But to Clark, the venture is more than just a business. It’s a way to connect with the community, educate people about South Carolina’s landscape, and implement sustainable fishing and crabbing practices. Clark also works with the state Department of Natural Resources and South Carolina Oyster Recycling and Enhancement to help rebuild crab and oyster habitats.

“It’s really transformed now,” she said. “At first I was nervous about what I was doing, but now I feel like this is my goal, this is my purpose, this is what I’m here for. So, I put everything into it and I’m building this relationship with the community.”
