After 10 months of construction, North Charleston opened its newest community center located on Paramount Drive. In June 2013, the small, dated Miner Crosby Community Center was demolished to make way for a new 3,100 square foot facility more suitable for the needs of the surrounding neighborhoods.
Located at 3901 Paramount Drive, the Miner Crosby Community Center will be utilized for afterschool programs during the school year, summer camps during the summer months, as well as civic meetings and special events year round. The building will also be available for private rentals by citizens and organizations.
A community garden will be established adjacent to the community center and playground. Youth participating in programs at the facility will plant and tend to the garden. Blackwell True Value Building Supply, located at 1279 Yeamans Hall Rd in Hanahan, SC, will be donating all materials and seeds for the community garden.
The community center is named after the late Miner Crosby. After fighting for his country during World War II, he returned home to the Charleston area to join his family automotive business. Miner was a mainstay in Charleston area public service during the second half of the 20th Century, and a mentor for many aspiring office-bearers. He was elected to Charleston County Council in 1960, serving eight years and sitting as Vice Chairman for several years. Afterwards, Miner sat on the North Charleston Public Service District Board, acting as Chairman for 12 years. Miner passed away on March 16, 1994.

Taylor Saleem Jewelry and I spent the weekend collaborating. Part of an effort we feel very strongly about. We live in a world where you can either let your differences divide you or you can choose to open yourself up to new ideas. To dig deeper, despite the discomfort, despite the vulnerability. When you open your eyes to a new perspective, you can see where growth is possible and often the most beautiful.

A man eats a tomato from his garden plot at the Shafter Community Garden, a project of the Center for Race, Poverty & the Environment. The garden is located in between two close neighbors - the Sequoia Elementary School on it's south side, and the North Shafter Oil Field on it's north. Residents are concerned for the future of the garden and the school due to the increased fracking activity in the nearby oil field.

No visit to producer regions is complete without meeting once (or twice) with producers in the associations that make up Cenfrocafe. In fact, it is often the highlight of the trip. This time, I met with those in Alto Bolognesi and those in Bajo Ihuamaca – meaning I was able to hear from about 30 producers total.
In addition to getting to hear the usual commentary about how the harvest had been, their thoughts on prices, and general concerns they want to share, I was able to receive some feedback on their sentiments on cooperative leadership and general functioning.
General comments included their concerns about the growing encroachment of leaf rust and their desire to have some protected varieties – in addition to the varieties that yield quality – and the decrease in volume this year. The volume is thought to have more to do with the weather patterns last year than leaf rust.
The nuances of their comments about cooperative leadership will continue to be analyzed. In a nutshell, they say that people stick with Cenfrocafe – we're talking decade-long membership – because of their communication abilities, transparency, and ability to secure a price. They continue to desire more information about how financial decisions in coffee purchasing get made and want to be a louder voice about how extra project money is directed.
