Ben Bankey, an eight year resident, spoke enthusiastically about his coming partnership with Brad Mallett of Coastal Coffee Roasters to establish Summerville's first craft beer brewery to be housed in the same building. He spoke proudly of its mission, a calling shared and evangelized by the Malletts. Summerville is full of people who appreciate quality food and beverage.
Let's give them a reason to stay. For Senator Sean Bennett, creating a culture of acceptance for craft breweries in South Carolina is a no-brainer. In , Bennett spearheaded the Pint Law, shepherding it through the committee process at the state capitol. The law allowed breweries to become more of a destination by enabling them to serve up to three pints per customer, instead of just samples. This year, Bennett introduced the Stone Bill in an effort to bring Stone Brewing Company to South Carolina and to help other breweries in the state function more efficiently, productively, and creatively.
Stone Brewing Company forwent setting up shop in the state for now, but the bill still passed, to the delight of local brewery workers and aficionados. The senator counts himself in the latter group and can often be found touring one of the many Lowcountry breweries or sampling a cold one at Homegrown Brewhouse. He believes that the craft beer industry is a model of cooperative entrepreneurship and has pledged to support it whenever possible.
As a politician with a respected voice at the state capitol, Bennett aims to continue supporting legislation that will help local breweries set up shop, create jobs, and boost local development. For now, things seem quiet as breweries get acquainted with the new parameters of the Stone Bill, but the Senator is always open to new ideas. Meeting the challenges of time and nature with the grace of a 19th century Southern belle, Linwood still stands proudly on the corner of Palmetto Street and West Richardson Avenue, a testament to those determined to flourish and grow where they are planted.
Peter and Linda Shelbourne are just that kind of determined. When they purchased the home in , with their three children grown, they converted it to an inn, and it has flourished as a mecca for those seeking an experience combining history, horticulture and hospitality since. An avid historian and gardener, Shelbourne loves to share the story of Linwood, though she was not as enthusiastic when she and Peter first began to contemplate moving to the South.
But Summerville — and Linwood — was in full bloom, and she softened her stance at the sight of the crape myrtles exploding with color and the azaleas rioting under the pines in velvety.

- New Thriller Grabs You by the Throat.

It was a Bible verse she read during her daily devotion, though, that finally erased any doubt that this was meant to be their new home: Where once were thorns, pine trees will grow; where briars grew, the myrtles will spring up. Those roots are evident in the obvious joy that Linda and Peter find in their surroundings, and in the oasis of peace and serenity they have created amidst the lush, green winding pathways of the lovingly nurtured, historically significant gardens.
Linda chuckles that the garden was created by catastrophe. It took three years to clear the debris and restore the damage left when the storm uprooted 48 major trees. Huge pines, oaks, and hickory trees were tossed across the property, which. Linda become a Master Gardener to learn how best to restore the garden. Today, the plantings lean more toward sustainable evergreen shrubs than to the flowers she once favored, with colors and textures drawing the eye to tranquil focal points throughout the property.
Tranquility flows throughout Linwood, and there is no detail left unattended in the refined setting. Three guest suites inside the main house, along with two cottages and a restored hay barn, provide refuge for guests.
Many are long-term, corporate travelers, and Linda jokes that Linwood has become a sort of international hostel. There is a spirit of authenticity and of welcoming at Linwood — a clear reflection of the roots the Shelbournes have both found and planted over the last three decades. Now, it seems that the more we give, the more we get back. It is very fulfilling, and we learn the most from the guests who are the most challenging.
Though the elegant home and gardens may be the attributes that first attract visitors to Linwood, it is the sincere hospitality that compels guests to return again and again. Opening their home, and opening their hearts comes naturally to the Shelbournes, and Linwood stands ready, at the chance that they might someday find themselves entertaining angels. The cowboy must never shoot first, hit a smaller man, or take unfair advantage. He must never go back on his word, or a trust confided in him. He must always tell the truth. He must be gentle with children, the elderly, and animals.
He must not advocate or possess racially or religiously intolerant ideas. He must help people in distress. He must be a good worker. He must keep himself clean in thought, speech, action, and habits. He must respect women, parents, and his nation's laws. The Cowboy is a patriot. When the petite woman arrives to greet us, she might be the last person we envisioned holding the reins for this event, but as she holds out her hand for a firm shake, it becomes obvious that she may not be large, but she is certainly in charge. Dressed against the chill of the evening in no-nonsense jeans, a turtleneck and sweatshirt, a cloud of white hair swirls around her head as she steps off the golf cart that has whisked her here from the other side of the arena.
It takes only a few minutes in her company to find that the winding path that brought her to this place is what has forged the steel behind her bright blue eyes, and her uncompromising values are what keeps her here. Tommie and her husband, David, a Navy veteran and bronze star recipient, moved to Walterboro from Charleston in It was her role as a mental health professional working with adolescents in drug and alcohol abuse programs that spawned the idea of creating a safe, family oriented, and alcohol-free event for the community. Hard work and discipline are reflected in the faces of the participants, and faith and family are at the forefront.
God bless America, God bless the cowboys and cowgirls, the vendors, the audience, and the livestock. American pride rises up in everyone as the colors are presented in a production choreographed by Pam Treadway, of the internationally known Ken Treadway Rodeo Company. When the American flag rides in, held high by a cowgirl astride an American Paint Horse, patriotism raises chins a little higher, and hands are reverently placed over hearts. There are young faces beaming with promise, and weathered faces, wearing hope for one more ride.
The audience roars its approval. Though many of us sitting in the stands have merely dressed the cowboy part tonight, those who participate in the many different events on the program are the real deal.

With hats as big as baskets on their heads, the cowboys before us wear skin burnished by long days in the sun — there is probably not a bottle of sunscreen between them, and what coats their boots may or may not be mud. Almost all walk with a slight catch in their stride; the aches and pains of their profession following them like dark shadows. There is something for everyone, and fun begins with the rodeo clown, or bullfighter, whose corny, G-rated comedy routine keeps everyone laughing. Then, the announcer calls the name of the first bull rider, and all eyes fly to the stall holding an agitated bull, named Bumble Bee.
He will need to keep his other hand in the air, and stay on for 8 long seconds if he wants to score. The bull explodes from the gate and hangs, kicking in the air before twisting and turning with lightning speed, tossing the rider to the hard packed earth. The rider is safe, but there will be no score for the cowboy this night. For the steer wrestling or bulldogging competition, we watch as big, powerful men throw themselves onto a lb. It looks like the equivalent of diving off a speeding bullet onto a rocket ship.
Team roping is slightly less of a contact sport, with the focus on the ability of two horsemen to throw a lasso successfully at separate ends of the moving target. Calf roping is a blend of the two, with the cooperation of a horse ready to stand his ground needed for the cowboy to tie the feet of the heifer he has lassoed. Moms get their turn, too, and a group of good natured mothers run wide open to capture a ribbon, slipping and sliding, and doubling the laundry load. The ladies are well represented by the barrel racers. Carefully styled hair lies frozen and unmoving under snug fitting cowboy hats, and the light catches the sequins of fancy western shirts.
When it is their turn, they rocket from the starting gate at full gallop, their eyes fixed on the barrels around which they will turn their horses in an impossibly tight cloverleaf pattern. The cooperation between horse and rider is beautiful to watch, and we hold our breaths as each cowgirl streaks toward the finish line. It has been a successful and satisfying night for Tommie Derry, who was honored mid-show with a bouquet of flowers and an embroidered jacket commemorating 25 years of the Walterboro Pro Rodeo.
Tomorrow night the flag will fly again in the Double D arena, the cowboys will pick themselves up, brush themselves off, ready to ride another night, and Tommie Derry will continue to pay it forward. But it was not always so. When the foundation was laid in the s, the Best Friend locomotive steamed down the wooden rails to Charleston at an astonishing 15 miles per hour, making it an easy trip for the young doctor who built the home as a gift for his happy new bride.
Despite the convenience of this revolutionary mode of passenger travel, the demands of his Charleston practice often found the dedicated young man sleeping at his office, having missed the final boarding call for Summerville. Many nights, his young bride walked the floors of their beautiful new home. Alone and lonely for her love, she tried to fill the empty hours with chores: As the months went by, the strain of the frequent separation tore at the fabric of their marriage, and she became more and more heartbroken. Nevertheless, it was a joyous day when they learned that she was expecting their first child, and though the doctor did his best to be on the train home every night, gradually, he fell back into old habits, working late and missing the ride that would bring him home to his pregnant wife.
On one such night, tragedy struck as she tripped on the stairs in the dark after turning off the light she had left burning for him. The fall took her life, as well as the life of the unborn child she carried. The young doctor was inconsolable, and overwhelmed by grief and guilt. Spiraling into a deep depression and unable to bring himself to leave the house, his medical practice soon fell by the wayside. Food left at his door by concerned neighbors lay untouched on the porch, and the once beautiful house fell into shambles.
Then one night, a single gunshot rang out. The doctor could no longer live with his sorrow and the knowledge that he might have saved both. It was no coincidence when he was found shot by his own hand, with a bullet through his broken heart, that he fell at the base of the very stairs where his young wife had died.

They soon began to hear soft weeping at night and the footsteps of one pacing the floor. Determined to restore the home to its former glory, the couple sanded the floors and re-plastered the walls, finding the perfect colors to complement their new residence. The stubborn, rust-colored stain in the floor of the foyer, however, refused to budge.
Late in the evenings, they heard dishes rattling in the kitchen, and were awakened some nights by lights turning on and off and the eerie sound of something tumbling down the stairs. Undeterred, they worked on, until one day they noticed that the hole they had patched and painted in the foyer wall had returned, ringed with a bright, bloody red.
Twice more, they patched and painted, and twice the hole returned. Immediately, they set to work cutting through the plaster, digging until they discovered a bullet lodged in the century-old wall. Carefully wrapping the disfigured bullet in tissue, they drove to St. Then, they re-patched and repainted the wall. Today, the house stands proudly restored on Main Street. She mentioned the incident to her neighbor across the street, who told her the history of the houses, and the two girls who had lived there long ago. One night, the babysitter called me in hysterics because she heard someone playing the piano, and we had a houseguest who said she woke to find a young woman standing at the foot of her bed.

Tonight, they would make their debut at the Silver Ball, and they could hardly wait to be presented as adults to all of Summerville. But Carrie had a secret. She had met a Citadel cadet that summer, and though her father did not deem him to be a proper suitor, they were in love.
Tonight, they would elope, and she swore Josephine to secrecy. It seemed to Josephine that the years had flown since they had played amidst these flowering shrubs; happy and carefree. Ten-year-old Davy lay sleeping, and the sound of the steady downpour on the tin roof caused her to stir in her sleep. The house, built in , seemed a little spooky to her, and she had yet to become used to the sounds it made or the cold drafts that sometimes left her shivering even on summer nights.
Outside, the storm grew more intense, rousing Davy from another dream about two young women in white dresses. It had seemed so real that Davy blinked her eyes several times to clear away the vision of the crying girls, and goose bumps rose on her arms. Who knows, maybe the Walker girls are haunting our houses. But the strangest thing happened before we moved in. We were out of town when the contractor called to make sure it was alright to enter the house. It was a journal that had belonged to Josephine Walker, and there was startling information inside.
Davy and her mother rushed across the street, anxious to learn more. The journal told a sad story of love and loss. Months passed, and no letter came. Tucked in among the yellowing pages, was a small newspaper article detailing how a ship was lost in a storm on its way to England. It had departed from Charleston the night of the Silver Ball. There were no survivors. A faded photo fell to the floor. Sometime later Davy found a name etched into the glass of her bedroom window. Today, the sound of girlish laughter is still sometimes heard amidst the azaleas along the dirt road, and two ethereal figures in white occasionally appear to cross from house to house.
And so it appears that the Walker girls are once again united in eternity. Open dance with DJ Sharon Johnson until 10pm. Cash bar, free snacks and food available in the Club House.
