It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since Hurricane Hugo muddied McClellanville’s timeline. The town has made anamazing comeback and it’s finally to the point that you don’t hear that four-letter word in everyday communication now.  I certainly couldn’t say that 10 years ago.  Time was still measured in terms of “before Hugo” and “after Hugo”, but that past is becoming more and more distant.  This anniversary will come and go and my phone will cease to ring from reporters who read my first article about Hugo looking for an interview, maybe a before and after article or  a “Where are They Now” piece to catch America up on what the little Village that could has been up to.  They want me to point them in the direction of the best scoop, the biggest tear-jerker, or most triumphant retur...

On May 10th, 2008 the Deerhead Oak was dedicated as South Carolina’s 2007 Heritage Tree of the Year. The McClellanville Tree Committee sponsored the event held in the shady branches of the town’s landmark live oak at the corner of Oak Street and Pinckney Street. A plaque commemorating Deerhead Oak as the Heritage Tree for 2007 was unveiled as well as a second plaque honoring the Beckman family (the owners of the land on which Deerhead Oak rests) for their gracious contribution to McClellanville’s greenspace and the town’s history.  Click Here for more information about McClellanville's Deerhead Oak.

A recent Post & Courier article about Charleston County Parks and Recreation plans to purchase a large track of land Two Pines Road came to a big surprise to myself and everyone I’ve talked to the past few days, so I’ve done a little more research to fill people in on the facts.  Two Pines is a small community of a dozen or so homeowners along the Intracoastal Waterway just south of McClellanville and north of Tibwin. The proposed 812 acre tract begins at Highway 17 and continues on both sides of Two Pines Road until it reaches the waterfront residences.  Click Here to read the rest of this article.

A few miles up Hwy 17 from McClellanville, just off of the South Santee River on Wambaw Creek is the Hampton Plantation State Park.  The original mansion built in 1735 remains.  This 274 acre plantation was purchased from the Rutledge Family in 1971 and turned into a state park.  There is a lot to see on site.  There are picnic and bathroom facilities as well as trails to walk (click for map) including a walk through the old gardens with incredible camellias, azaleas, & live oaks.The house is open for tours and is set up as an educational tool to teach not only about life in the plantation era, but also about the lives of the emancipated families that went on to settle in the immediate area.  The home was a colonial era rice plantation.  More recently it was home to South Carolina Poet ...

For my money the most fun you can have on the water in the Cape Romain Wildlife Refuge (McClellanville, SC) is fishing for Spot tails (Red Drum).  There are many different approaches you can take, fishing the flats, casting a grub, fishing the edge of the marsh with live bait on a float, or surf fishing.  Fishing the flats is a little like hunting and fishing combined.  I am terrible at it, but the idea is to pole through the marsh flats at high tide.  The Spot tails eat crabs in the marsh, so they usually have their tails sticking up out of the water while they dive for crabs.  When you see that, cast a DOA crab in front of them.  I have never had a lot of luck, but it gets your adrenaline going chasing fish through the marsh.Surf fishing will usually produce the largest catch.  In my ...

I can now confirm my earlier post about the filming of the new Kevin Costner movie, The New Daughter, here in McClellanville. Film crews are already in the area and filming is slated to begin February 18th. I have been working with the films housing manager to help them find suitable McClellanville Rentals for all the cast and crew. The New Daughter is a horror/thriller movie, in which Kevin Costner plays a single father who’s daughter starts acting strangely after moving to a new house in the country that happens to have burial mounds on the property. Ivano Baquero, who starred as the young girl in Pan’s Labrinth, will be playing the role of the daughter. Costner has starred in (and often directed and produced as well) more hollywood blockbusters than you can shake a stick at including...

Some of you may be aware that I was the Deputy Town Marshal for McClellanville. I was deputized shortly after moving back here after being a police officer in Rock Hill for 4 years, because I was the most experiences person for the job. After over a year of faithful service I decided that I didn’t have the time to devote to the job that it required and asked the Town to find a replacement. This week I handed over this position to Barron Duke, who many of you may already know as the man who picks up the trash. Larry McClellan remains McClellanville’s Town Marshal, the Deputy position falls under him and performs the duty of enforcing the parking around town and launching (with a launch permit) at the boating landing. There is also the occasional wild animal call or barking dog problem. C...

2008 came quietly at the Bates house.  Noah, my son, was visiting with his grandparents and Josie and I were in bed well before midnight.  I was actually asleep when the ball dropped, a nice change from my old policing days when I seemed to always being working on New Years Eve (probably the worst night of the year to work) and arresting drunks and drunken drivers until daybreak.  Looking back on the year it has been full of many great events for me.  I became a father and have learned more about myself through that process than I ever thought possible.  We built our first new home in McClellanville and are still unpacking boxes after almost 6 months being here (a newborn tends to slow things down).  I started this blog (website) and continue to learn more and more about web design, wri...

The Post and Courier reported today that McClellanville may be the new site for the filming of a horror movie called “The New Daughter” starring Kevin Costner. The article reports that McClellanville and Edisto Island are two possible locations for the filming and that a production studio has made it’s home in Charleston. The film is based on a story by John Connolly which takes place in rural Illinois. This leads one to wonder what McClellanville and Illinois share visually, but I guess thats where they say a film is “loosely” based on a novel. Of course this isn’t the first time McClellanville has attracted the attention of Hollywood...Read the rest of the story at MyMcClellanville.net
